FIDELITY.
Elder Robinson,

At the right Of Elder Brewster Governor
Bradford, with axe in hand and sticks thrust
into the ground, momentarily resting, stands
for Enterprise. Priscilla Mullen stands for
Purity in the attitude Of attention to the re-
ligious exercises of Elder Brewster By her
side her small brother is trying to call her
attention to the antlers of deer. Elder
Robinson, who preached the last sermon be-
fore leaving for America, in sitting posture
turning the leaves of a Bible in his lap, rep
resents Fidelity. The figure Of pilgrim,
known as Fatigue, rests upon the ground
with his back against the rocks. A hungry
wolf means Danger, as well as the Indians
upon the other side.
The figures bear the closest inspection, for
they are all worked out with most faithful
regard to detail. Even the face Of the babe
is modelled as carefully as if it could be seen
from the ground. The grace Of Elder Brew
ter's flowing robes, the earnest attitude of
Rose Standish, the manly vigor OF Miles
Standish, the youthful beauty Of John Alden,
the conservation Of Governor Carver, the
terror inspiring red men, the heroic face of
Governor Bradford, the childish simplicity Of
Priscilla Mullen and her brother and the
venerable presence of Elder Robinson-all
OF these have their part in completing beau
tiful and effective whole. T. G. MATRER.

Getting Even With an Advertiser.

BUFFALO, Sept. 30.-An advertiser in q
Canadian city used to delight in keeping so
licitors waiting while he would read their
papers. His method was not to rebuff the
expectant advertising man by clustering out
the words don -w't-n'ing," but to cordially
enter into the matter, and, after receiving a
sample copy of whatever publication was
under discussion, to tilt himself back in his
chair, as il to carefully inspect its make up,
tone and general merits. Presuming that
such marked attention would mean a con-
tract, the newspaper representative invari-
ably waited with anxious expectation. Then
the Hamilton man would appear to be deeply
interested in some article, and from it to be
carried on to the next sensation, and SO on
until be would peruse the greater part of the
paper.
Them suddenly remembering that he had
some letters needing his immediate attention,
he would invite the solicitor to call again.
1t so happened that a gentleman who is now
located in New York and well known among
national advertisers happened to call on him
and received the treatment SO familiar to
canvassers who have tried to secure his con-
tracts. The usual plan was adopted and an
hour of the solicitors time wasted, after
which he was kindly invited to call again, as
it would be impossible to go into the merits
of the case that day. Not to be outdone by
a '.Kanuck,n he determined to give him an
other sitting on the following day, and about
IL O'Clock dropped in and stated that he had
called for his ad.
Again the request for copy of his paper
was made, and, after obtaining it, the adver-
Using man assumed an easy position in his
chair and allowed the young man to wait.
Noon came, and still the Hamilton man had
not finished reading, but appeared to be en-
crossed in the paper. Then a restaurant
waiter came in with dinner and placed it
before the newspaper man, who straightway
set to work to enjoy himself on his meal.
Something seemed to perplex the reader, and
he looked at the date of the paper. 1t was
the 25d and that was the day of the month
on which he was reading, but still things
seemed to be familiar to him. He turned to
the young man. and was thunderstruck to
see him in the act of putting away a good
meal, instead of wearing look of detection,
as was expected.
''Do you take this for a hotelT' remarked
the merchant.

"Soldm returned the big man. You have

your lunch first aud your advertising space

The lunch was followed by one hundred
and forty dollar contract, and since then the
Hamilton man has not devoted so much time
to reading sample copies.

the vacant pediment came to being filed;
but very few know that the design for it can
be seen today in a studio in the city of Al

When it was decided to enlarge the Capitol
the designs included the raising Of the dome
as well as the building of what are known
as the wings of the senate and the house of
representatives. The work was well along
when the civil war broke out, and then it was
retarded in some degree. 1t was during the
early days of his administration that PreSi-
dent Buchanan, who was really charged with
the responsibility of the whole work, decided
to call upon three representative sculptors of
America to furnish designs for the pediment
of the house wing. The pedinient Of the
senate wing had been already completed in
its present shape. Invitations were extended
