took up his stand close to the State
House door and patiently watched and
waited, while Chestnut street became
one mass of surging humanity and the
sultry July sun beat down with unre-
lenting fervor. Men wearied and wan
dared off to the State House Inn or Cid
London Coffee House; children lifted up
their voices and wept, and women faint
ed from the heat and were borne off by
kindly hands; but still our loyal little
Casabianca kept his post, although the
hours dragged by on leaden wings, and
often from above came down the de-
spondent tone of the old bell-man,
whose hope was beginning to waver,
grooming: "Oh, they never will do it!
They never will do it,"
About noon, though, there was a
slight interruption, for a determined
four-footed creature came, making it's
way through the crowd, and with cry
of pleasure Nelson recognized Penn,
bearing in his mouth small basket, in
which Mrs. Harding had packed a light
lunch for her son. With a joyful bark,
the dog discovered his master and laid
his burden at his feet, while. as the lad
patted his faithful creatures head he
moaned: "Oh, Penn, dear Penn. how
can l ever bear to part with you. If
only there was some other way to help
my fatherr'
The bread and fruit, however, soon
revived the boys tagging spirits, and
when Penn trotted off with the empty
basket he was once more the loyal
young American, who had forgotten his
private troubles in suspense for his
country's good; and soon after two
o'clock the great doors swung open and
the keeper whispered few words in his
ear. Then, with a glad cry and his blue
eyes dancing, Nelson bounded out in
the street, and clapping his hands
shouted: Ring, Grandpa. Ring" and
instantly the old man seized the rope
attached to the ponderous tongue and
struck it with all his might against the
side of the bell, sending the iron music
floating forth on the summer air. joy
fully proclaiming, Liberty throughout
all the land, to all the inha bitants

The debtors heard it in their gloomy
cells, and one, at least, longed to be
able to join in the struggle that must
follow.
Margaret Harding heard it and
thought: ''Oh, that it would ring free
dom for those in the grasp of the law"

FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
A Condition of Things Existing I'm Thou
sands of Homes.


sands of Homes.
The family were gathered about the
breakfast-table in pretty cottage in
one Of the suburban villages near New
York. The circle was enriched by the
presence of two daughters one of twelve
and the other of seven years The
father was little late in responding to
call to the table, and when he appeared
the younger daughter, in tones of dis.
gust, said: There, papa is going to
stay down again tonight; he has on his
tail coat"
With look of patient endurance, the
older daughter looked up and asked:
'Another committee meeting?"
PRO bono pubSico!" responded the
father.
The older daughter, proud of hel
knowledge of Latin, translated the sen.
tence, to which the younger responded:
"Yes, for the public good, but the
family bad!''
How truly the small maiden had de.
clared the conditions in thousands OF
homes!-where the public good dis.
places the family good; where the ex-
element of attending to the public af.
the worker finds in attending to the
good of that part of the public which is
embraced under the item of family.
''What makes Mrs Gadabout phi.
lanthropist?" "Her willingness to at
tend to every body's business instead of
her own" is a recent newspaper joke,
and yet how many lives would seem to
justify it, The energy, the thought, the
time spent for the public good is often
time, interest, thought, stolen from the
family.
Take it in the matter of public
health. If every housekeeper would
see to it that her own cellar, the street
before her door, the plumbing in her
own house, the cooking done in her
family, were in the condition demand
ed by hygienic knowledge, a pub
lie good would be accomplished which,
by force of example as well as by ac-
complished effort would surpass any
attempt to reform the world through
outside agitation. The public good ac-
complished at the expense of the family
good is a very doubtful good. The en-
forced loss of companionship and inter-
est in the home and the circle within
IL, tuo EeSult Vi OFeFGdAcu mlnu anu
nerves in outside service. is but sorry
recompense for the good accomplished.
Every family is such large item for
the public good, when organized with
due regard to its public relations,
that a loss of power for good within it
reacts against the public good.
Pro bono pubttco is the justification Of
too many individuals whose devotion to
the public is not the result of principle,
but the antidote of e,anui when private
life is the limit of their activity. Were
Pro bono domestico the watchword in
every household, it would be pro bono
publico. -Christian Union.

High Price for a Violin.

Ten thousand dollars is now the high
est recorded price for violin. The
Alard Stradivarius has passed from
France to England for that sum, to go
into the collection of Scotchman. II
is dated 1716. 1t is described in the
catalogue of the South Kensington ex-
hibition in 1872 as the only one in
condition of perfect preservation. 1t
was bought in 1860 by an Italian anna
teur, Count Cozi di Salabue, after whose
death it was purchased in 1924 by IA
nous collector, Luigi Tarisio. Tarislo
hid it away. refusing to let any one see
it, till his death in 1854. A year later
tt was purchased by Fuillaune. It's
condition of preservation led to the be-
lief that it had scarcely been played up
on during the whole 80 years of its ex'
istence. vuillaume left it on his death
to his son-in-law, Alark, who has just
sold it.-London Telegraph.

Mott Street Babies.

So you want to see what Chinese

dozen of the fat little fellows. They

their mothers for the most part are con.

QUEER MENTAL LAPSES.

Inability of Some People to Say Do
Things That Should BE Easily Done.
Has anybody ever thought to emu
| fAerate to himself the things he can't
learn? No matter how clever he may
be or how much he may have been able
to stow away in his capacious mind,
there are some facts that he is never
able to claim as his own some things
that fee away before him like dew in
the midsummer sun. The writer knows
one man, accomplished, clever. who has
never been able to divide numbers by
any shorter method than long division,
no matter how simple the sum may be.
There is a young woman in New \ ork,
a college graduate, who absolutely can
not remember when Columbus discov-
cred America For years it was fam
lily custom to ask her at the breakfast
table for the date of the discovery of
America. and every morning it would
have to be told anew. only to have dis
appeared when the next morning came.
Yet she remem bered other dates per-
fectly we'll.
A wel1-known clubman in town cor..
fesses that never in his life has he been
able to speak the word "chartreuse."
Seemingly just on the tip of his tongue,
it slips off and is away before he can
catch it. In telling the tale the round
about method of description had to be
employed to carry the idea.
Again, there is certain family name
which is entirely impossible to the
writer. There are two families in diff
ferent parts of the country, not lated
but bearing the same name. The fami-
lies are distinctly recalled and the fact
that the name is alike, but that name
by any amount of cabling or cudgeling
of the memory can never be brought
into consciousness. This is trick of
memory that years of trial have never
been able to overcome.
An intelligent and cultivated woman
In Western city says that she has
never been able to learn the mutiplica-
ton table, although the higher mathe-
matics were favorite studies with her in
her youth. When she wants to multi
ply eight by seven she has to set down
eight that number of times and add the
column.-N. Y. Sun.

THE DEAF CUSTOMER.
She Made Things Lively for the Clerk
who Waited on Her.
Of all customers who come into re-
tail boot and shoe store, the deaf Gus
toner is, next to an Indian, the most
difficult for salesman to handle.
Deaf people are, almost invariably, q
little or good deal too sensitive re-
garding their infirmitY, and when they
do not understand they have way OF
pretending that they do which some
times leads to embarrassing results.

day when an old lady entered. She
did not carry a trumpet and the clerk
could not tell by any visible sign that
her hearing was not as acute as his own.
Il would like pair of Shoes" she

the clerk.
The old lady did not reply or appear
