Upon the sidewalk near the Parker
House an old woman is lying drunk. A
crowd begins to gather about her.
A lawyer, member of a prominent
firm whose office is not far from the Saw
ings Bank building, walks rapidly along
and glances, first at the PROSTATE figure
on the pavement and then at the curious
persons who surround it.
He turns to a herdic driver.
"Will you take her homer" he asked.
'No."
"Pll pay for the cab and get one of
these women to go with her,
THAT'S different. Pill take herr
The attorney sees that the helpless in
ebriate is placed in the herdic, calls to
the driver againsand hands him half
dollar.
Put her in her house." he says, and is
gone before the crowd turns to look at
him.
But there were few bystanders, new
ertheless, who saw the charitable act.
and, in lhe name of humanity, silently
thanked him. Boston Herald.

How Historic Ink Was Stolen

Years ago, when James Monroe was
President and John Quincy Adams Sec
retary OF State, an ingenious English
engraver obtained permission of the two
dignitaries mentioned to take the Declara-
ton of Independence and engrave it fac
simile on copper. He carried the precions
document to the printing office of one
Peter Force. When everything was i'm
readiness he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid sheet of India paper Of
the same size upon it. This India paper
was next moistened with water in which
gum arabic had been dissolved. heavy
proof roller with weight hanging from
each end was then rolled several times
over the historic document. When the
India paper was removed from the face of
the instrument it took with it at least one
half of the ink used in writing and sign
ing the document. The document is less
than century and quarter years old.
and. according to the st. Louis Republic'
with proper care should be almost as
legible as it was on the 5th day of july:
1776. AS it is, only eleven signatures out
of the tifty-three can be read without
glass, and some of them have disappeared
beyond recall, all on account of a thiey-
ing trick of a Government which. when
they found that they could not keep the
colonies dependent, stole the very ink
from the document which declares our
independence.

own people. Therefore they will be
found together, although the excited
women, who have for years endured with
noble patience the monotony of life at
army posts, are rejoiced beyond words if
they may only grasp the hand and hear
the voice of some paragon of Congress
sional wisdom who has been good to their
husbands or to the service.
There will be diplomats in dazzling
uniforms; Chinese mandarins in silk
attire; Japanese officials. the men in the
black evening dress of convention, and
the women in the proper costume of
Europe and America.
Nearly every one of those who make
up this interesting human collection finds
somewhere in the moving throng a friend
or comrade who will save him from that
terrible isolation of an evening party
which most persons have felt. and which
is often as depressing as the solitude of a
great city. There is little need to be alone,
and the object of wondering gaze that
freezes the warm blood, in crush at q
