St. John there can be no doubt that the

man had persuaded some of his parishion-
ers to disguise him is negro, and to take
him to witness the voodu ceremonies. All
went on in the manner that has already
been described till after the sacrifice of a
white goat and fowl, when a young man
came and knelt before the queen and said:
"Oh maman, have a favor to ask. Give
US, to complete the sacrifice, the goat with
out horns"
The queen gave a sign of assent, the
crowd in the shed separated and there was
a child sitting with its feet bound. In an
instant rope, already passed through a
block, was frightened, the child's feet flew
up toward the roof and the king APP

Ethel has studied very assiduously, and
her young life has not been all play. She
sings, dances, speaks three languages and
has quite reputation among those who
know her best as good little housekeeper,
and she is a fearless horsewoman.
Her slim figure and long golden hair are
often seen flying through the park on a
fine horse, which she sits very gracefully.
Her young companions are very fond of
her, and she has the character which invites
condolences. She has Travelled to Paris and
back and to many places in America, and
as she is never banished to the nursery
when there are guests, she is remarkably
self possessed and ladylike, and while
never intrusive is always ready to talk
when she is spoken to, and she does it in a
way to make her parents proud.
Her own room is trimmed in blue and
silver, and it is her privilege to attend to
it herself, and it's exquisite neatness and
orderly appearance reflect the greatest
credit upon her. She has her al owance of
pocket money, out of which she pays for
her own clothes, and she generally chooses
them and decides upon their style and
fashioning with prudence and taste. She
has her pet charity and does good amount
of sewing for ragged little children, and
mends and makes over her own outgrown
garments for them in the neatest possible
manner. She is her fathers prime favor
lite and companion every hour he can spare
from his business.

II don't remember my exact answer, but
it was couched in such language as

proposed compromise.

BiSmarck's Motto.

1t Is said that Bismarck, when a young
man studying law at Potsdam, never for
got his rank and Importance, and was care
full to preserve what he considered his
rights. One day, his chief in law matters.
with whom he had business, appeared to
forget him, and Bismarck recalled his
wandering attention by drumming on the
window sill.
At another time he thought he was kent
waiting in the ante-room altogether too
long. On berg at last asked his business.
he replied, 81 came to ask for leave, but
now apply for dismissalp'
In spite of his haughtiness in regard to
his own claims to Importance and consid-
Grafton, however, he was almost invariably
kind and thoughtful to his interiors in So
cial position. When very young, he al
ways seemed to take just the right way
with servants and those under his COM
mand, and they always loved him, though
he demanded great deal of them.
AT one time, when he and his brother
were managing and overseeing the Pome-
ranian estates, Bismarck severely reproved
a certain young land owner for his neglect
and shiftlessness. The young man in ex-
cuse said that he had not particle of taste
for agriculture, and was tired of farming.
II have struggled with my dislike a long
time" concluded the unwilling farmer.
"Not yet long enoughl' answered Bis
marck dryly.
This reply brought the young man to his
senses. He continued the struggle, over
came his distate for the work, became a
capital farmer, and today remembers
thankfully Bismarck's Not yet long
enough!"
This saying, by the way, has been con-
nected with the name of Bismarck since
olden times by peasant proverb, which
begins, Not yet long enough says Bis
marck," and goes on, connecting other say
ings with the names of different influential
families.-Youth's Companion.

Liberal Railroad Hands.

s'I'll warrant you never saw a more
liberal set of men than those employed
on railroads when it comes to helping
out family in DISTRESS" remarked
man who knew what he was talking
about. $50 where you will in a rail-
road Office, shop or yard, with sub
scription in aid of an injured fellow en-
ploye or the family of one deceased, and
the men who refuse among hundreds to
contribute are few and far between.
You can gamble that they would also
contribute except for necessities of their
own. In comparison with their pay and
risk they run railroad men are the most
liberal of any class of men in the coun-
try, not even excepting our millionaires.

AIDRICH.
DIXON,
.OICOTT.


are faded. Gen. Hawley is growing old, of
course. He has been nearly twenty years
in congress, was gallant soldier through
out the war and a good editor four years
before the war broke out.
Senator Hawley is generally looked upon
as one of the young and vigorous men of
the house of lords, whereas his colleague,
Mr.. Platt, is quite as generally regarded as
an old man; yet Gen. Hawley is the senior
senator, SO far as age is concerned. The
handsome senator from Connecticut was
married couple of years ago, and is now
the fond papa Of yearling angel. Senator
Hawley was born in 1896, first came to con-
gress in 1872 and is likely to remain here
as long as he lives.
Senator Dolph, of Oregon, is considered
the finest looking man of the patriarch
order in the senate. He is ten years
younger than Gen. Hawley, and therefore
is not old enough to join the patriarch
class. Senator Dolph is tall, graceful,
neat, and, as many of his enthusiastic adj
mirers in the gallery say, "the sweetest old
man with the softest eyes" that ever was.
Senator Stockbridge looks like an En-
glish baron, almost like the last of the
barons. He is grizzled, severe, apparently
the concentrated essence of senatorial dig
nifty, exclusiveness and wisdom. Yet when
one comes to know him he is found to be
as mild as one of the ewes on his famous
Michigan stock farm, and a man who
would much rather talk horse than poll
tics. He has the true senatorial figure
round, solid, substantial, we'll built up in
front-and he carries it in the true sena-
torial way, with his nose uplifted, his long
coat buttoned from chin to knee. But for
all this he is a handsome and a likable
man.
a senator much admired is Mr.. Berry,
of Arkansas. He is like the clark, hand
some man" of whose coming gypsy fort
une tellers are always prating to servant

coacnman you ever saw IN the WEST l1uu Oh
London town, but he Is American to the
core, and comes from a family in whose
veins flows the blush blood of Yankee
dom. He Is only 43, married, rich, likes
big blue lovers knot neckties, and is proper
ly proud of the waviness of his inky hair
and OF the infallible and interchangeable cor
rectness of the parting line therein.
One of the big, handsome fellows of con-
gress is Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, a
man of large frame, tall, broad, huge in
every way, big feet and hands, giant head
and expansive open countenance. His nose
is enormous, his eyes immense and full Of
expression, and when he laughs, as he
often does right merrily, large mouth is
exposed to view. Those who know him
well say his heart is proportionately larger
than any other member. Many strangers
ask his name, and not few of them buy
his portrait before leaving the Capitol as
that of the handsomest giant they have
seen within its walls Senator Eustis re-
tires to private life in forty eight hours.
Four exceedingly handsome men of ma
ture age and liberal hirsute adornment are
found in Senators Dolph, Berry, Stock
bridge and Hawley. The last named was,
indeed, but a few years ago one of the very
handsomest men OF congress. His regular
features, soldierly figure, liquid brown
eyes, Napoleonic beard and mustachios
have ere this attracted the attention of
thousands of pairs of admiring eyes, and
will attract many more before their glories
