Accommodating a Borrower

Daniel Webster once found a
good way of getting rid Of a bor'
rower-the best one on record, for,
like the man who bought the cloth
for shirts, he killed two birds with
ono stone. % g. ..'o L.iti .i . g

Graufed beyond measure Choate
sat down to write his note.
"By the way, Choate," SAID
Webster, 10 an of hand way, "you
might as we'll make that note for
81, 900, and | can use $500 myself
"CertainIy," said OhOate, cheer

even $1,000.
Then the immortal Daniel saun
tered down to a bankers office.
"Ah | anything 1 can do for yor

Can you discount a note tol

"WIth pleasure"

A SUPPER FOR THIEVES.

The annual banquet OF the
thieves of London, given the other
day by the st. Giles Mission, was
a most brilliant affair. The LORD
Mal or bravely presided, in defiance
of the old proverb. To this ban
quet, rare par excellence, none but
thieves fresh from jail are admitted
except, of course, the members oil
tue mission and their friends. Ihls
mission has a curious history. III
was founded about twelve years
ago by thief nicknamed the
"Fiddler,D who abandoned his OLD
profession and took to religion Tor
living. Since that time 1t has
increased in power and usefulness.
Every morning when the doors OF
tue four PRISONS of London are
opened to let loose the indiVldua'S
who have discharged their debts

come forward and invite the
crooSs to breakfast. Out OF lo,OOO
of these worthless set free in 1885,
10. 200 accepted the invitation. At
the close of the repast a temper
ance pledge is presented to the
guests, which they may sign OF
not, Just as they may choose
About one.third of the number
sigu the pledge, and about one
fourth of that third keep 1t. The
mission furnishes money, tools,
and clothes to the crooks who dis
play sincere intentions to lead
better lives, and 1t finds employ
n.ent for them, too. AT the ban
quet in question 200 guests sal
down TO the table. There were
some queer faces among them and

THE LITTLE WIDOW.

The twilight of mid July was iuii
of tender, opal brightness the
scent of new.mown hay, coming
down from far.off breezy slopes,
Hoated in the air, and just beyond
the elms in tue hollow the
full moon was rising up, a great
globe of pearl. And from her low
seat beneath the over hanging
honeysuckles Bertha Wyman saw
and felt all this summer beauty
with the faint, blissful langOur OF q

with only a royal smile flung down

She was like a picture-falr and
gracious, with blue eyes and great
coils OF golden hair bound about
her head, while even in the uncer-
tain twilight you could see that the
color on her cheeks was softer aud
more tenderly tinted than the
blossoms OF the great Oleander at
her side.
"Hush, who IS that 7" she said,
with a little start, as a light foot
step sounded on the matted ball
beyond.
"Only your aunt's companion,

viewing stand Of the President in
front of the executive mansion.
TAKING THE OATH.
The President, as soon as the
order of arrangements on the
platform is complete, advances to
the front and delivers his inaugural |
address. Having completed his |
address he turns, facing the Chief
Justice in the presence of the peo-
pie; the clerk of the Supreme
Court, advancing between them,
holds Oh his hands formerly on
velvet cushion( an open Bible. The
President rests the palm of his
righ' hand upon the open page. aud
repeats, after The Chief Justice,
the only oath prescribed by the
Constitution. Having finished, the
new President leans over aud kisses
the sacred book, as a symbol OF
acknowledgement of his great trust
In behalf of the people and their
institutions. The Chief Justice
then bows and extends his band in
greeting to the new President. This
he receives from the head Of the
judiciary. Tie Vice-President adj
vances aud extends the same form
of salutatiOn on behalf of the legis-
lative coordinate branch Of the
government. When Washington
Was 10 nauguIated, State Chancellor
Jay, there then being no Chief
Justice OF the United States, pro-
claimed after this crowning act of
the new Constitution "Long live
George Washington, President of
the United States of america"
A CANNON SALUTE.
The moment the President places
his lips upon the Bible, in response
to a given signal the batteries in
the park fire a national salute. The
troops present arms and the masses
of soldiers and citizens at once be-
come electrified by the stir of
preparation. The Senate returns
to it's chamber and formally ad-
iourns. The committee on ar
rangements having charge OF the
President escort him to the state
carriage, drawn by four horses,
awaiting him ut the Senate en-
trance to the capitol. The PresI.
dent takes position near the head
of the column, which he leaves at
the reviewing stand in front Of the
executive mansion. The diplomatic
corps proceed to the reviewing
stand, where they form part of the
brilliant encourage of the new
President.
The earlier forms of inaugural
ceremony were technically the
same, though simpler in detail
The present more elaborate demon
stration, ceremonial and spectacu-
lar, began with the inauguration
of President Polk oD March 4,
1915.
At the close Of the review the
new President is usually escorted
to his official home for the next
four years by the ex-President,
where a luncheon is served. after
this act of salutatOry hospitality
the retired President with bis fam
lily withdraws to his private resi-
dence at the capital and usually
departs from the city the following
day.
The new President is now fully
invested with the powers of hi'
office, and his wife, or presiding
lady, takes the place of first lady
of the land.

TROUBLE EVERYWHERE.

There's trouble in the dwelling,
Trouble on the street
There's trouble in the bosom
OF every one We meet
Morning. noon and midnight.
There's trouble in the air
And, oh there's no denying
There's trouble everywhere
There's trouble in the garden,
Beside the sweetest rose
Beside the fairest lily,
The thorn Of trouble grows;
There's trouble on the ocean,
There's trouble on the land ;
And when the sunshine's brightest,
There's trouble clOse at hand.
From troubles that pursue us,
We never can escape
They're sure to overtake us
In some peculiar shape
To circle slowly round US,
Or seize us, unaware
Troubles sure to fnd US, for,
There's trouble everywhere.
But after storms OF trouble,
How blessed is the calml
And after wounds Of warfare,
How soothing is the balm
And when from tribulatiOns
Our spirits have release
Ifbut for one brief moment,
We know the JOY Of peace
So trouble has its mission,
As through the world it goes,
A message unto mortals,
In every breeze that blows;
It moves the stagnant waters
1t stirs the pulse Of health
Gives courage 70 the hero
To every labOrer wealth.
'Tis trouble that incites Us
To brave and daring deeds
'Tis trouble that prepares us
To feel another's need ;
Each heart must bear it's burden
OF suffering and care
For man is born to trouble.
And he finds it-eYerywhere.

ART IN SICk-ROOMS.
An Important Matter to which No
Enough Attention Is Paid.

An Important Matter to which Not
Enough Attention Is Paid.
In these modern days we do not con-
fine to their rooms people who are sick
for the long periods common to an age
of medicine which has now nearly
passed away. But even at the present
time we require to practice more
artistic care. A sick-room should
always be as agreeable TO the eye of
the patient as it can be made, and every
effort should be carried out to prevent
monotony. The furniture should be
light, easily movable, and OF cheer
full color; all dark hangings and somber
coverings, when there. should be re-
placed by white, or light blue, or gray
colored fabrics, and the walls should
be OF gray or light-green color.
Papers of faring colors, and papers
which have for pattern a number OF
rings or circles OF flowers OF one de-
an instance in which the paper OF
wall had for its pattern series OF cir
cles like so many sunHowers; that pa
per produced in a nervous patient
scene OF giddiness which led TO nausea,
and had very bad effect indeed. |
thought at first that the complaint
made against this paper by the patient
was rather absurd, but when / tried
for myself the experiment OF looking
for a few minutes at the rings OF the
pattern, / actually became, against
my will, subject TO giddiness also, and
to a sense Of nausea which was most
unpleasant The fact led me at once
TO tear up prescription had written
as a sedative for stomachic disturb
ance, and 10 order instead a screen
which should shut of the sight of the
Objectionable wall, and which proved,
in fact, an effective remedy.
| remember another instance in
which the walls Of the room were COW
cred with pattern of a "Aeur-de-lis,'
the shading Of which, by some curious
twistings, caused each flower TO re-
semble a deaths head. The patient
in the night detected this singular ex-
travagance OF art half asleep and
half awake, iancied himself in a sort
Of crypt OF skulls. which caused him a
sleeplessness that lasted until the
morning, and led TO a bad day. The
walls OF sick-room should be
quite plain, and Of gray or light
green color, but there is no objection
10 cheerful pictures il they are now
and then changed in position, and are
pleasant to the mind Of the invalid
without becoming wearisome, Flow
ers 10 the sick-room are always good
so long as they are bright and fresh,
but they should be frequently changed,
and it is sound practice 10 remove
them during the night. Flowers which
have a sickly odor lilies, for example,
should be excluded, however charming
they may be TO the eye. As rule,
living flowers are better than dead
Dried leaves, like potp0ur.i. are bad
for the sick room; they gather dust and
the stale odor they emit impairs the
purity of the air-Dr. b. w. Richard
