waiting For tho Minister.


A good story is told of Mr.. Labou-
ehere during his career in the diplomatic
service and while he was an attache at
Washington. An Progressively irate"
visitor called at the legation and de-
manded to see the British minister Mr..
Labouchere informed him that he could
not, because This excellency was not in {"
"Well," said the visitor, evidently sus-
pecting subterfuge, II must see him, and
will wait till he comes" Every good"
said MIR. Labouchere. Pray take q
CHAIR" and he resumed his writing. At
the end of an hour the visitor, "still fret
ting and Tuning" asked when the min
lister would be back. 81 really cannot
say exactly" the attache answered. but
you expect him back:" tho visitor insist
ed. "Oh, certainly" said Mr.. Labou-
chere and went on writing.
AT tho end of another hour the irate
visitor, bouncing up, insisted on know
ing what were the habits of the minister
at that period of the day. Was he likely
to be in in another hour2 II think not"
said Mr.. Labouchere. with increased
blandness; 1.-The fact is he sailed for Eu-
rope on Wednesday and can hardly yet
have reached Queenstown. But, YOU
know, you said you would wait till he
came in, SO offered you chair. "-"Di-

THE SAINT AND THE SINNER.

Heart worn and weary the woman sat,
Her baby sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed q pitiftl task for such as She
Mendng shoes for tho littlo feet
That battered over the cabin floor,
While tho bells of the Sabbath day rang sweet,
And tho neighbors passed by the open door.
Tho children played, and tho baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came,
When. To- on the threshold stone there slept
A priestly figure and named her name
What shrift is this for tho Sabbath day,
When bells gro calling, and far and near
The people gather to praise and pray?
Woman, why arc you toiling here?"
Like one In a dream she answered low:
"Father, my days are workdays all;
l know no Sabbath. dare not go
Where the beautiful bells ring out and call,
For who would look to the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the placer
pray I'm silence and try to think,
For Gods love can listen and give me grace"
The years passed on, and with fast and prayer
Tho good priest climbed to the gate Of rest,
And tired woman stood waiting there,
Her work worn hands to her bosom pressed;
"Oh, saint. thrice blessed, mount thou on hight
He heard the welcoming angels say,
And mcekly, gently, she passed him by,
Who had mcndcd shoes on the Sabbath day.

Nature md Dcfnrmifx.

Nature is very particular to conceal
her deformities, and all that is worthless
or ungraceful generally drops off from
tree unless it be an injury to tho trunk.
From such effects the tree never recov-
ers. Go into the forests and how often
we SEQ deformed trees, some bent and
twisted, some parted till tho original
trunk becomes like two-each crossing
and recrossing the other. This was done
by depression or injury to the tree in it's
young and tender years. Nature has no
power to right broken law-neither in
tho animal nor the vegetable organism.
Punishment follows. and deformity re-
sults.-Boston Transcript

MIR. Roosevelt Tells n Story or Two.

Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt is practical
politician and has some good stories to
tell of his experiences while in the legis-
lature. In his address before the Liberal
club on Thursday evening he told some
Of them.
One was of legislator who used to
ask him to support unconstitutional bills
"But, my dear FRIEND" Mr.. Roosevelt
would say, ''it's unconstitutional" IL
never allow the constitution to come be-
tween friends" was the reply, and then
becoming very indignant the man would
add. "Mr. Roosevelt. the constitution
doesn't treat little things like that"
Another man objected to his quoting
Latin. What do you mean by quoting
Latin on the floor of this house?" thun-
dered the objector, when you don't know
the alpha or omega of the language?"-

why New York Women Feel Weary

When an old lady like the English
queen takes up the study of Hindoostanee
and masters it sufficiently to converse
with the reserved high caste princesses
of the east, who object to the presence
of the male interpreter during audience
with their sovereign, and heartbroken,
middle aged woman like the empress of
Austria acquires ancient and modern
Greek to the extent of talking and writ
ing it fiuently, it makes a New York
woman little weary to think she can't
keep up her school French or find time
to read the magazines.-New York Sun.

PENNSYLVANIA has no reason to boast Of
the treatment she gives her insane. There
is not an asylum in the State that is not a
disgrace to the civilization of this century.
We are far behind other states in this Un-
ion, and very far behind Pagan Rome of
more than two thousand years ago. The
ancient Romans fitted up their asylums for
the insane in the most luxurious and at
tractiye manner and spared no expense or
trouble to tighten the burden of persons
afflicted with the terrible malady known
as insanity. In the asylums of Pennsyl-
vania the insane are crowded together like
cattle. The institutions have an air about
them that suggests prison. There is an
asylum for the insane in the District of
Columbia that should serve as model for
US. In that institution there are spacious
and luxurious parlors for the ladies, with
pianos, and paintings and everything to
make the unfortunate inmates happy. For
the men there are fine billiard rooms, a
good library, musical instruments, and all
the amusements that would tend to cheer
and comfort them. Although some pre-
tense at this is made in our asylums it is
mere bluff, the contrast between a respect
able and proper insane asylum and those
OF our State being prodigious.- us.-Punxsu-
