The telephone has an enviable reputa-
ton in one family at least, An old
farmer who keeps a summer boarding
house on the st. John river, in New
Brunswick, was asked by an American
how letters should be addressed to reach
him. "Oh, don't mind the letters" he
said, "there's a telephone up to the
house. Whenever you want me, just
call me up and my wife will answer
you" But" said the other, "Tm an
American, and may want to write you
some time" "Wen," answered the old
farmer, haven't you people got tele-
phones in your country" "Of course,
butt "Well," interrupted the Cana
dian, "then just call me up when you
want me and l guess you'll get u.s." That
settled the discussion right there,-New

had at last rallen asleep. me nUt.e
German wife had wanted 10 take the
baby to her bed, but he had said no. SO,
when he was asleep, she who had been
waiting crept out Of bed toward the
shrine and took the baby In her arms.
It was cold and still, and she nestled IL
close TO her breast, as mothers always
do, and smiling at her treasure, fell
asleep.
Two hours had passed by when she
woke up again. The baby had not
moved. It's legs and arms were cold
and rigid, and the eyes were half open.
It was dead. She lifted the wee bit Of
clay and kissed it as though she would
give It some Of her own life. She called
it no yeung, and her tears fell upon the
wisps of golden hair.
The sounds of her grief came to the
ears Of her sleeping husband. He
crawled to his knees and made an obei-
sance before the shrine. The joss sticks
had burned down to the wood and had
gone out. He jumped to his feet with q
cry like an animal at the fatal shot, and
began to light new sticks. Then, for the
first time, he saw the. child was gone
He saw it in its mothers arms. He
matched it from her and felt its colo
cheek. Like a lump of lead he went
down on the bare floor with the baby
still in his arms.
When he struggled to his feet like q
man upon whom the yen yen is strong
his wife was gone-she had fedin terror
With hatchet he chopped the shrine t
bits and laid waste the furniture.
The ones who had been told this strangt
story by the German wife found him II

funeral she went to Brooklyn. He vii

Telemachus, the Hellenist, fell asleep
in the grass near the thirteen trees plant
ed by Alexander Hamilton. Telemachus
is old and not handsome. His face is
tanned and marked like book worned
folio of Stephanus. His forehead, with
its thick eyebrows, is exactly similar TO
q mossgrown overhanging rock. He had
been making marginal notes on his rare
copy Of Pindar, and the book was open
by his side. Young men on their way
TO the tennis ground, so prettily dressed
that they were as If made of sugar,
marmalade and whipped cream, smiled,
not with malice, but amused.
Their companions, the eldest under
twenty, charming as are girls not disil-
lusionized by the cooking school, the
keeping of house accounts and other
commonplace things, stopped. One Of
them opened her scarlet sunshade ove1
his head, another picked up his precious
book and read In soft, enchanting tone
until Telemachus awoke, and then she
greeted him in Greek that her friends
repeated in chorus. There Is no happier
man than Telemachus, and none so sur,
that everything is modern.-New Yorl

The grandson of Count d'Hausson-
Vile In La Vie de Mon Pere relates
how the noted royalist escaped from
the mob on the terrible Aug, 10, 1792;
My grandfatheraaid not emigrate.
Louis XVI, who, had confidence in his
rare courage and entire devotion, had
made him promise not to leave him, and
he was always one of those who in mo-
ments of danger hastened TO the Tuil-
cries to defend the royal family. He
was with the king throughout the 10th
of August. When the royal family left
the legislative assembly he found him
self in position of great danger.
He took advantage Of the semitwi
light in the lobby to destroy his lace
ruffies and hid his gold laced hat and hiI
sword under the seats.
Then he Joined the crowd which wa
leaving the hall and the offices But thu
difficulty was to pass from the entranc'
to the assembly hall to the gate of th'
drawbridge OF the Tuileries without be
ing recognized. In this space and at tn
gate were the people, excited by having
taken the palace and by the massacre o
the Swiss, which had occupied then
nearly all day.
In crossing the garden my grandfathe
noticed a child who had been hit by
bullet and was moaning on the grounI
surrounded by several persons. II
walked straight TO the group, lifted tn
child In his arms without saying a word
and went on toward the gate, walkin
slowly and apparently quite absorbed i
comforting the little child. His face wa
thus concealed as he reached the gat
and ordered the crowd aside.
He was allowed TO pass unsuspeoteC
and still protected by his precious bul

neared the a. d'Haussonvillemansion. The

The common opinion that kangaroos
use their strong, muscular tails as a
means of propulsion in their flying leaps,
which often cover from twenty to thirty
feet each, is at once seen to be fallacious
by any one who joins in a kangaroo
hunt. When sitting erect in attitude of
observation the tail is used as an i'm
portant factor in the support of the
body, and when the animal is feeding
(at which times it moves about in lazy,
crawling gait upon all four Of it's feet,
it drags Imply over the earth.
In running, however, It'll curved grace
fully upward to clear the ground, and
never once touches it during the kan
garoo's fight, being seen to fulfill the
Office of a balancing pole and preserving
the animals equilibrium by shifting
positions according to the nature Of the
ground. Journal.

1t would be quite impossible for any liv-
ing being, it would seem, to be insensible
to the charms Of camp life. One morn
ing when the Listener was in camp, a
queer looking black dog of uncertain race,
but broad between the eyes, like all intelh-
gent dogs, suddenly popped Into the place,
evidently upon some journey around the
lake. He looked about him in astonish-
ment, and then sat down and looked
again. Then he settled instantly down,
in sort of glad, grateful way, which
was as much as to say, "This is exactly
the sort of place that I've always been
looking forl" Not another step did he
stir on the journey.
He adopted the camp from that mo-
ment and everybody in it, Nobody
knew where he came from or to whom
he belonged. He was a total stranger to
the people who lived on the farm not
far away. He slept in front of the tent
at night, and barked at any stranger who
came that way, and answered amiably
to the name Of Liberty Moses. No doubt,
when the camp broke up, he went back
to his more civilized home, wherever 1t
was, but as long as that charming spot
remained in existence there was no other

An Enjoyable Way to Take Tea.
There are people who get moro out Of
life than others by sort Of philosophy
of contrast or change. The listener,
being invited to tea not long since, found
the table set under the apple trees just a
few steps from the kitchen door. There
were several children seated about the
table, expressing by their demure manner
that it was not novel thing at all. "Oh,
nor said the hostess; "we've hardly eaten
dinner or supper in the house for three
weeks. If it's possible thing we set the
table out here or on the piazza at least
There is only one disadvantage, it makes
it harder on the girls, but we all tak'
hold and help, so that they are as pleased
as we are"
1t was delightful to sit under the treel
that fiecked the table cloth with moving
shadows and seemed to add new flavor Il
the simple food. The house stood bacl
from the street of course, and yet II i
had been near the street there nigh
have been a great gain for the passerby
It would have given touch Of sociAbil
ity to the street, like that so character
istic of the French, who eat in public s'
gracefully.
It formed sort of daily picnic, with
out the toll and bugs and depressing
after effects of that great American In
stitution. It added charm and relish t
the meal, and made the summer NOR
distinctly a time for vacations and on
of door impressions. 1t seemed a Gus

The story is told of the late "Pig Iron"
Kelley that on one occasion a young
woman, the daughter of an old Pennsyl-
vanian, who had been one Of Kelley's
political ieutenants, applied TO him for
a position, which he promised TO secure
for her the next day. On the following
morning, when the young woman called
ON the Judge, he had forgotten all about
her case, but upon being reminded, apol-
ogized profusely and told her to "call
tomorrow The judge kept this up for
nearly a month, when the young woman
lost her patience, On the occasion Of
her last visit the judge, who was very
absentminded, did not catch her name
as the servant announced her presence
in the parlor and, walking hurriedly into
the room, shook hands with her and be-
gan the old formula.
''My dear young lady, l am very busy
today; you viii really have 10 call to

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Nov, 19-Judge King,
chairman Of the Republican state central
committee, has called a meeting OF the
committee at ColuabuS Tuesday, to take
action In regard to contesting the seat Of
Colonel Brioe in the United States senate
and adopt measures to prevent his being
sworn in when congress convenes. King
says; 81 believe 1t can be shown by Mr.,
Thomas, Of Springfield, that Brice cor
ruptly secured the election, and there
seems little doubt that competent evidence
can be obtained that Brioe was not q clti-
zen Of Ohio at the time, He had not
voted In the state for year and vas a
resident OF the city Of New York. Bur
theE, his defense against paying taxes In
Ohio has been that he is not, and has not
been, a resident OF the state II this Is
true, Mr.. Briee should not be allowed to
represent Ohio in the senate"

do not comprise the possibilities. There
