Point In q Boston Alley Avoided
by a Methodical Man.
Two newspaper men were walking
through Court Square down from court
street to school. Both had lived in Bos-
ton for twenty years or more and they
were friends.
Just as they had passed the entrance to
Youug's Hotel, arm in arm, the gentle
man on the left and nearest the hotel
abruptly separated from the other. His
companion hesitRted for moment, while
the other deliberately went around Oh
the other side and resumed the walk.
The peculiar action provoked inquiry,
and the editor explained in this wayi

FOSTER MILLARD'S LOVE.
n Tale of TaOO Brought Together by IdIe
GOSsipeTS.

1t was nearly service time on Sunday morn
ing, and the church bells were tolling their
CHEEKY welcome on the frosty air Pious
souls, clad In furs and velvets and other
forms OF modern purple and nne linen, were
hurrying to reach the scenes OF their devo-

Foster Millard was not pious soul, and he
did not hurry. He was not sure that he was
going 70 church at all, and he sauntered
leiSurely along, with his hands In his over
coat pockets and his big collar turned high
mound his throat.

THE REWARD OF VIRTUE,

1t appears that if a man is hired to be
virtuous he is entitled to his pay if he
does the work. So says the New York
court of appeals. An uncle proposed to
his nephew that if he would refrain from
drinking, using tobacco, swearing and
gambling until he was twenty-one years
old he would give him five thousand dol
lars. The nephew agreed to do SO, and
when he reached that age he notified his
uncle that he had kept the promise.
Thereupon the latter wrote the young
man that he had earned and should have
the money. Before it was paid over the
uncle died and an action for it's recovery
was brought against the executor. The
executor claimed that the contract was
without consideration to support it, but
the court of appeals didn't agree
with the executor and said: The
nephew used tobacco, occa-
sionally drank liquor and he had legal
right to do so. That right he abandoned
for period of years upon the strength of
the promise of his uncle that for such for
bearance he would give him five thousand
dollars. We need not speculate on the
effort which may have been required to
give up the use of these stimulants. 1t is
sufficient that he restricted his lawful free
dom of action within certain prescribed
limits upon the faith of his unc]e's agree
| ment, and now having performed the con-
| ditions imposed it is of no moment whether
such performance actually proved benefit
| to the uncle"
A man can't very often get pay in money
| for being good, but it is evident that he is
entitled to it when he can.
