One OF the favored small folk Of this .op
ulent city was the recipient not long ago OF
a luncheon which must have been a de
light to her and the other wee ones who
graced the feast. The guest OF honor was
a lovely four-year-old with golden hair and
big brown eyes, and the dozen little ones
asked to meet her counted their years, the
eldest Of them, not more than twice as
many. For this company of tender age
the table showed bank of variegated hya-
cinths through its center Wax lights
with shades to match the parti-colored
flowers added to the brilliancy so pleasing
to the childish eyes.
At every plate stood a miniature pot
swathed in a Chinese napkin in which was
growing a small hyacinth, and by its side a
lovely doll, whose gown exactly matched
the hue Of its companion flower This
kaleidoscope Of color aud gifts brought ad-
miring 'Ohsi" from every separate small
girl as she took her seat.
The sensible mother who provided the
luncheon deserves record for the menu,
which inclnded bouillon, creamed oysters,
broiled chicken, colored jeilies, ice cream,
small cakes, not rich, and chocolate The
last course was a Jack Horner pie-this
one showing. to match the harlequin
luncheon, a top gay with many colored
luffs Of tissue paper. each Of which duly
resolved itself into plum" Of acceptable
shape to its delighted possessor.-Her Point

The work Of the salvation Army.

At the present moment the Salvation
Army has no less than 9,349 regular Of
ficers, 1900 volunteer officers, 30 training
homes, with 400 cadets, and 1854 corps
scattered over 30 different countries. In
England alone il has 1871 corps, and has
held some 10000 open air meetings. This
represents a part of its religious work. Be
sides this it has in social work 30 rescue

A Cincinnati Idyl.

There Is TO be wedding IN the west end
soon which will be the sequel TO a rather
romantic introduction. One night about a
year ago daintily attired little lady got
aboard one OF the Seventh street cars on
her way home from her days work in an
up town office The car was well filled,
and the young lady was compelled TO swing
on the end Of strap for many squares.
She was little bit Of body, aud she had
to stretch her arms considerably to reach a
strap for support The car gave mrch rs
it turned a corner, and a white band
made its appearance about the little WON
ans waist As it slowly grew larger broad
smiles made their appearance on the faces
Of several of the male passengers.
Feeling something was wrong, the young
lady glanced down at her waist and at
once blushed crimson with embarrassment.
A young mechanic on his way home from
work was in the car, and seeing the Young
lady's dilemma he proved himself a true
gentleman by at once coming to her assist
ance. Stepping between her aud the other
passengers lac said.
Pardon me, miss, but il you wish TO adj
just your skirt will screen you from the
over curious eyes OF these other passen

The little lady accepted the profIered aid
with thanks, and after that they met near
~ every evening on their way home Their
acquaintance ripened into something
stronger than friendship. and the closing
act in this romance OF a car strap" will be
the wedding Of these two.-Cincinnati En-

An Experience of the Late Captain Lee

An Experience of the Late Captain Lee
With the Ruler of Corea.
Captain Lee, who died suddenly at the
Hoffman House in Philadelphia the other
day, was one of the most intrepid of men.
He once ordered the King and Cabinet of
Corea off their own parade ground because
they tried to dictate to him concerning the
handling of the native troops. Captain Lee
was employed by the Corean Government
as military instructor ofthe army four years
ago, and he knew his business in every
phase. With two other American officers
who were employed with him in similar
capacities he had charge of the army and
gave it thorough instruction, elevating it
beyond the standard of even the Japanese
troops, the best drilled in the East.
Lee and his fellow officers didn't get along
together very well. The troops liked him
exceedingly, but on the day he ordered the
King and Cabinet off the parade grounds,
because they got in the way, there came
near being revolt among them. Lee was
memorable, if polite, and the King and the
Cabinet left without word of protest
They always respected Lee for his action
and treated him with great courtesy after

while L was coming down to New York from

candidate for Governor of New York, in
st. Louis GlObc-Democrdt interview. I was
in the smoking room Of the sleeper consum-
ing my good night cigar. There were three
other men in the room, and they fell to
talking about the convention and myself

third from Oregon. None of them knew mo
personally, although one of the Chicago
men claimed to have gone to school with
me. He was II Democrat and the other two
were Republicans. The Democrat outlined
my career in true Western STYLE
The only things he didn't charge me with
were horse-stealing and murder. L guess he
enumerated all the other crimes i'll the dee

selves against me then and there. 1 en-

Democratic friend immensely, and when he
appealed to me 10 confirm his story l ac-
quiesced every time. One of the charges
he brought against me was that had once
been indicted for lumber frauds in Mani

that didn't prevent me from affirming the
probability of it. [ enjoyed the situation,
