NORTH CONWAY, n. H., Aug. 26.-The
past week in the mountains has been
especially gay, but all previous festivities
pale before the grand spectacle, the
coaching parade which occurs in North
Conway, Tuesday. 1t has already been
stated that the prizes and programme
will be similar to those of last year
The procession headed by large num-
Der of equestrians with General M. c..
Wentworth as chief marshal, will form in
front of Mr.. Payson fuckers residence,
instead of in front of the Kearsarge, as
formerly. The route will be from North
Conway to Kearsarge village, to Intervale
woods to North Conway, where the
coaches will be reviewed before the
Judges stand at the Kearsarge House.
Last year much inconvenience was felt
from the inability of the hotels to furnish
meals for all who applied. This year
such an event will be obviated, as Caterer
Robinson of Portland will furnish sub
stantial refreshments to all who desire.
Another advantage over last year, and
one for which the committee are in
debted to Mr.. Payson Tucker, is that free
seats will be provided Tor considerable
distance along the line of the march for
tho accom- mediation of the snectators. A

The opinion that Il man is degraded
by addressing another as Sire" or
"Your Royal Highncss," or ssYour
Lordship," "Sir Something" is deep
ly rooted in the ordinary. American
heart. Two illustrations of this are
furnished by a Canadian contributor.

names of the chief actors are changed,
for there is no such person as Sir
James Homlake. But the incidents

changes made i'm speaking the names.
Some years ago, when Sir Charles
Smith, SO we will call him, was trav-
cling by special train in Dakota,
told his private secretary to instruct
the conductor that he should not say
''Mr. Smith," but s'Sir Charles" in
speaking to so great IL man. Next
time the conductor came round he
he SAID, "Wcll, sir-Charles-the
next station is Glyndon." And al
ways thereafter he continued to use
the SANE form. We'll, sir-Charles''
as though the sir were purely en-
clamatory, and the knights name
| Charles.

There was %nlomentary silence Of.
blank amazement, and then the air
rang with cheers of the H%olbeinites,
while the sturdy blacksmith himself
stepped forward, and frankly holding
out his hand-the stony brown hand
that had wrought SO many famous
works-to the MAJ whom he had
challenged, said, with unfeingcd
heartiness-
"Master Holbeln, there is no gain
saying it-thou art the better man.
With pains and practice, thou
mlght'st perchance make my iron

to the end of days, could never draw

TOUCHED SAINT AND SINNER.


H.w Fifty-seven Pennies Grew Into q
Fund of Thousands of Dollars
A few years ago Il little girl applied
to Il pastor in one of large cities for
admission into his Sunday-school.
She was told that the classes we're so
full there was no room for her. and
that the church was so small that no
more classes could be organized.
Much disappointed, the little girl be-
gan to save pennies-her family was
poor-for the purpose of charging
the church in order that she and
other children like her might be ac-
~commodatcd. She told no one of
her ambitious purpose, however, SO
that when the pastor of this church
was called to her bedside a few
months later, to comfort her in her
severe illness. he saw nothing unu-
sual. only a frail child of 81 years.
; The little sufferer died, and a week
later there was found in her battered
red pocketbook. which had been her
savings bank, 81 pennies and a scrap
of paper that told i'm childish print
the story of her ambition and the
purpose of self-denial.
The story of that little red pocket
book and its contents, and the unfal-
tcring faith of it's little owner, got
abroad. 1t touched the heart of
saint and sinner alike. Her inspira-
ton became Il prophecy, and men
labored and women sang and children
saved to aid in it's fultillment. These
81 pennies became the nucleus of a
fund that i'm six years grew to $780,
600, and to-day this hcroine's picture,
lifc-size, hangs conspicuously in the
hallway of Il college building in
which 1,4OO students attend, and
connected with which there are a
church capable of seating 5000, a
hospital for children named for the
Good Samaritan, and Sunday-school-
room large enough to accommodate
all the boys and girlswho have yet
asked to enter it. A fairy story? 1t
reads like one, but happily it is not
one. The little girls name was Hat
tie May Watt, and the splendid in
situations described are located in
Observation-Disclosures Young Peo-
pie.
