"Of all the men of his period-the

had a better opportunity of studying
the VARYING phases of society at Rome
than Pliny,' writes Professor A. p.
Montague, in the New Peterson.
"A favorite OF the imperial Trajan

that wore the Roman purple-and

circles, an eminent law a popular

man whose words in the senats
were ever heard with respect, diplo-
mate so well equipped that he was

troubled affairs of an important
province the associate OF Tacitus

of letters, the friend alike of serf and

Of an earlier day, he wrote delightful
letters and very many Of them, upon

"Pliny, like many housekeepers of
our time, seems to have had trouble
with servants. whom he indulged
to the point of spelling them all. He
writes letter to his esteemed mother

The Star gets things badly mixed
when it quotes the INDICATOR as say

is done to compete with the Joliet

debts. Women were then often mar

mony performed while she was stand
ing in closet entirely divested Of
clothing. She put out her hand

was thus married. As soon as the
ceremony was performed the groom,
clergyman and witnesses left the

Gaelic In the PulpIt.

There are number of prelates in
the Northwest and West of Ireland
who still speak the language OF the
Gael, and, occasionally address their
tlocks in the old tongue. But, since
the lamented death of Archbishop
MacHale, we do not find that the
bishops OF that section of ireland
take the same interest in the preser-
walton of the old language that was
displayed by the Lion of the Fold"
who. in his day, would neither re-
ceive nor appoint to any Irish-speak-
ing congregation a clergyman who
was not conversant with the ma
tive tongue OF those to whom
he was to minister Curious

A CHILD'S KISS.
The Dying Hounty- Jumper Felt the
BABY Come Angel OF Mercy.

The Dying Hounty- Jumper Felt ths
Haby Come Angel OF Mercy.
He was bounty Jumper and had
been shot down while trying to escape
from the guard house He was burly.
big, fierce of look and rough of speech,
and when they brought him into the
hospital he cursed and raved in a
way TO make you chill. He had re-
ceived mortal wound, but death
had no terrors for him. When the
surgeon told him he must die within
rty-eight hours he replied:
Bah! What of itp The only favor
| have to ask Is that you keep snivel-
ers away. | want no prayin' and
singin about me-"
He had been a wicked man. He
boosted of it. He ridiculed the idea
OF hereafter and cursed the bible
and religion. Men and women came
to speak with him, so that he might
not die as dog, but he Knocked and
cursed them We who watched for
the end saw the shadow OF death
when 1t fell. He realized that life
was ebbing. but still he cursed and
reviled. An hour before he died the
wife of a wounded sergeant came in
to visit her hus band, says the De-
troit Free Press. She brought with
her a little fair-haired girl OF 4 or 3
years old. and as she talked the child
slipped away and wandered up and
down the aisles to inspect the cots
and their occupants A score of us
tried to coax her nearer, but she was
coy and bashfuL When she reached
the cot where lay the bounty jumper,
the pallor OF death on his face, but
fighting the specter away. she paused
and stared at him. When he saw
her a smile fitted over his face and
the fierce light died out OF his eyes
for the first time. He beckoned her
to approach, and to our great sur
prise she hesitatingly advanced until
she stood beside his cot The mother
rose up in alarm, but the nurse
whispered to her not to call the child.
''Is you sick2" queried the little
one, as the man reached out his hand
and touched the golden curls.
AYE, child, am dying he
whispered.
And amt you got nobody to
speak to youP'
II didn't want them"
But you wanted me. didn't youP"
"Yes-God bless your
''ls you shot, just like papaP"
"Yes, dear
Use so sorry. Iguess I'll kiss you"
As her lips touched his cheek the
death rattle in his throat frightened
her, and she ran away to her mother.
The kiss was still warm when his
eyes closed, his head fell back and
he shivered and died.
See the wonderful change in his
FACET whispered nurse
Aye. it was wonderful! The hard
lines had melted out and there was a
smile lowering about his mouth.
That savage expression which had in
tensified as the hours passed and the
end came nearer had been kissed
away by the little child. But for her
he would have died cursing his God.
Mayhap in the seconds between the
kiss and dissolution he had asked
for mercy.

For n long time prior to the execu-

who wanted the body for dissection
AS well as several cnterprising dime

difficulties that might arise, il was
decided that Guiteau should make q
