LITTLE JOSEPH PLAYS POOL.

Frederick Overhole for a purse in q
few weeks, and is regarded by all who
frequent his fathers billiard hall to
be a greater young phenomenon"
than Josef Holman or Walie Eddin-
ger.
The little fellow was born June ls,
1886, in Chicago, and only exhibited his
unusual ability few months ago. In
handling the cue his childishness is not
apparent, for he plays with the strength
and confidence of a man. He uses no
bench to compensate for his size, but
peering over the cushions, grasps the
cue well up toward the butt and poek-
cts the ball. He sometimes is obliged
to get on top of the table to execute a
shot, but he is expert in using the butt
of the cue where the ball is out of reach.
He is an intelligent youngster and not
particularly precocious except in play

one of the few picturesque spots Of
Camden's neighborhood. Passing along
smooth drives and by wen-kept lawns
dotted with flower beds the visitor
comes to little valley in which nestles
a tiny lake fed by springs from the hill
side. 1t is here, among a cluster of
beech and magnolia trees, at the head
of the lake, that Walt Whitman selected
the spot for his tomb
The vault is built into the hill on the
west side of the ground and is composed
of enormous powders of granite. The
stone door is hung on massive brass
hinges and require the united efforts of
three strong men to swing it. The two
front stones stand like immovable SEN
tries and are very imposing. A solid
block of granite is laid across these on
the top and heavy triangular capstone
is placed on this, with the simple in
scription: "Walt Whitman" carved out

THE PAPAL BLESSING.
An Impressive Ceremony of Great Pom
and Solemnity.

An Impressive Ceremony of Great Pomp
and Solemnity.
At that moment strain Of music
broke out above the great, soft, muf-
fed whispering that filed the basilica.
Some thirty chosen voices of the choir
of st. Peters had begun the hymn Tu
es Petrus, as the procession began to
defle from the south aisle to the nave,
close by the great door to travers the
whole distance thence to the high altar.
The pope's own choir, consisting solely
of the singers of the Sistine chapel,
waitek silently behind the lattice under
the statue of st. Veronica.
The song rang out louder and louder,
simple and grand. Those who have
heard Italian singers at their best know
that thirty young Roman throats can
emit a volume of sound equal to that
! which one hundred men of any other
| nation could produce. The stiffness
around them increased, too, as the pro-
cession heightened. The great dark
crowd stood shoulder to shoulder,
breathless with expectation, each man
and woman feeling for short moment
that thrill of mysterious anxiety and
| impatience which Orsino had felt. No
one who was there can ever forget what
! followed. More than forty cardinals
filed out in front from the chapel of the
Pleta. Then the hereditary assistants
of the Holy See, the heads of the Col
onna and the Orsini houses entered the
nave, side by side for the first time,
believe, in history. Immediately after
them, high above all the procession and
the crowd appeared the great chair OF
state, the huge white-feathered fans
moving slowly on each side, and upon
the throne, the central figure of that
vast display, sat the pope, Leo XIII.
Then, without warning and without
hesitation, shout went up such as has
never been heard before in that dim ca
thedral, nor will, perhaps, be heard
again:
"Viva il Papa-Rer Long life to the
pope-lzing!
At the same instant, as though at a
preconeerted signal-utterly impossible
in such throng-in the twinkling of
an eye, the dark crowd was as white as
snow. In every hand a white handker.
chief was raised, huttering and waving
above every head. And the shout, once
taken up, drowned the strong voices of
the singers as long-drawn thunder
browns the pattering of the raindrops
and the signing of the wind.
The wonderful face, that seemed tc
be carved out of transparent alabaster
smiled and slowly turned from side tc
side, as it passed by. The thin, fragile
: hand moved increasingly, blessing the
people.
The stupendous pageant went on be

Bought Conner for Gold.

81 have made arrangements with a
number of miners in Siberia to buy gold
dust and small pieces of gold of them.
They are able TO secrete these in the
folds of their dress, take them home and
there sell them to me for nominal
price. After having collected a guam
tty and brought it here Inow offer it
you for sale. do not propose to sell
you the precious metal for trifle, but
will guarantee that the metal shall pass
the frontiers of both Russia and France
without paying any tax OF duty. Thus
your profit will be the amounts total Of
these government charges" Such were
the contents of letter received by a
rich Partisan jeweler from Riga, in
Prussia. He went to Riga to see the
dealer. He had the powder and gold
pieces weighed with care, chemically
examined, and, after paying for them,
had 1t well packed under his own eyes.
The Riga man had promised TO take the
goods over the frontiers to escape pay
ing duty. He travelled with the Partisan
by way of Belgium. Having passed the
French frontier, he took his leave at
the first depot on French soil When
the Partisan arrived at home and opened
his precious box he found in it nothing
but copper dust and copper pieces. The
clever crook has not yet been found.

When little Roy and his mother moved
into their new house, there were no
flowers in the front yard. Roy was so
fond of flowers that this was a great
grief to him.

right away" he said; 81 want our front

for the yard of the next house, which
was divided by hedge from their own,
was full of all kinds of lovely flowers.
AS soon as the boxes were unpacked
Roy got out his little spade and rake
and spent the whole morning digging
in plot of ground under the dining
room windows.
He was too busy to notice that a little
girl was peeping at him through the
thick hedge, very much interested in his
work.
"What are you doing, Roy?" asked his
mother that afternoon, when she saw
him standing by his little plot of ground
with tin cup in his hand.
81 am planting some seeds, mamma;
1 found them in little tin box in one OF
your dishes," Roy answered.
"Let me see," said his mother.
Roy ran to her with the tin cup. 1t
was half full of caraway seeds that Mrs.
Helm had bought to put in cake.
She laughed as she handed the cup
back to him. "Do you expect to raise
caraway flowers?" she asked.

pretty" Roy answered. Anyhow, they
are all the seeds could find"
He made little holes in the ground,
and dropped the caraway seeds in, GOV.
ering them up, and patting the earth
down with his fat little hands. And all
the time the little girl next door was
watching him through the hedge. She
had heard what he had said to his moth
er. The next morning Roy got up very
early.
81 want to go out to pick you some
flowers, mamma" he said.
''There won't be any flowers there
dear" said his mother.
But Roy went out to see, and soon h,
came racing back with his hands full o
