Wis COURAGE FAILED HIM.
He Caught the Boy, But Appearances
Wera Too StronS Against Him.

He Caught the Boy, But Appearances
Were Too strong Against Him.
He was a well-dressed, well-fed,
forid-compleXioned man, who carried q
cane and an air of self-satisfaction as
he sauntered up Sixth avenue. says the
New Yori, HocorIer
Suddenly this oclhplacencv was in
terruptcd by q stick OF wood which
struck him square ON the bridge Of
the nose, and emanated from a larger
stick held in the hand of street
gamin who was playing Alp on the
sidewalk.
The man made a rush for the boy,
and the boy for the middle of the
street. On they flew. through slush
and debris, until the man overlook the
gamin about block and half from
where the race began.
Up to this time the boy had been
very game, turning every few Jumps TO
laugh in his pur3uer's face and put his
thumb to his nose in a manner most
infuriating. But when he was collared
he changed policy and began to sob as
if he we're being murdered.
OF course there was the usual crowd
Of lookers-on, most of them women,
who, according to their proverbial
sympathy with the under dog, pelted
the man with such tongue missiles as;
"See the great, big, cruel-hearted
monster! To beat a poor, little, in
nocent child like that! He ought to
be tarred and featheredp' etc.
The mans courage failed him Hold
ing the boy at arms length, he looked
reTretfully at him a moment. He
wanted TO pummel him. but giving him
one feeble, perfunctory little shake he
sat him gently on his legs, and, cross,
ing the street, continued his way.

Berlin Public KITCHENS.

These popular establishments are
described by George S. Layard in the
Nineteenth Century. Apublic kitchen
for the working classes was lnaug-
urated in 1856 by German woman.
Han Morgenstein. She has estab
lished many of these kitchens, each
one having public dining room. com
fortably warmed and furnished, and
supplied with the daily papers. Each
kitchen, supplying perhaps from three
hundred to fou hundred people with
daily meals, is managed by a local
committee, the whole scheme being
under the control of central council.
All the paid cooks are on the premises
by six in the morning, and the yege-
tables and meat have been brought in
Before them. Waste of any kind is
strictly forbidden. A subscription of
three thousand two hundred and
fifty dollars was sufficient to start this
scheme: the reserve fund set aside for
providing new kitchens increases
every year, while the council pays fair
wages and is able to pension off its old
servants For a sum varying from
three to six cents the Berlin workman
can obtain a satisfactory meal at any
of these restaurants. A dinner for
four cents allows a basin of thick, sub
stantial German soup, plate of veg
etables and plate of pudding, and
a roll of bread in addition costs lit
tie over one-quarter of cent.

There. is one of the employees of the
census bureau in Washington who is
regarded by the Washington Post as
the most matter-of-fact man in the
government service. One would scarce
ly call him hero in the usual sense Of
the term, but he evidently has'in him
some of the stuff such as heroes are
made of, and there are occasions when
he would probably rise to the point of
the sublime, though, truth to say, he
has not done so up to date. His phlegm
is of the teutonlc variety, such as
would probably lead him to continne
the careful indexing of his field notes
in the midst of a shipwreck or a boiler
explosion, and if there should ever be
an earthquake or collapse of the
building in which he was working he
would as likely as not remain in his
chair while the floor was going through
and ask some of his fellow workers to
hand him a ruler or shove over the
paper weights to keep his notes to-
gether. Up to date the worst story
that has been told of him was laid
in western Kansas during the
last years field work. With an
other agent of the department he
was driving around the country col
lecting data. On one afternoon they
got pair Of spirited horses and drove
out on one of the long, level cross sec
tion roads, After awhile Mr.. Stone
asked for the lines. He did not know
much about driving, but Prof. McGil-
len, who was driving, handed over the
ribbons. The horses, feeling a strange
hand, started off brislly and continued
to increase the cadency in sort of
geometrical progression. Faster they
went and faster, still at length Mr..
Stone, who was h&,lAng the lines prim-
ly in front of him, not unlike society
girl the first time she tries to handle a
T-cart, turned his head slowly in the
direction of his companion and said:

literature the po.>oner works in what
the Boston journal calls crude sa,h-
ion; his one idea is to get the poison
into the stomach of the victim De-
lection is almost inevitable and pun
ishment follows. Italians of the flf
teenth, sixteenth and the first half of
the seventeenth century showed most
surprising skill. Italian iemovers OF
enemies were welcome at many a for
eign court, for they were subtle. sure
and, at the same time, well bred.
There was the attempt to kill Louis
XI. by rubbing an ointmenton the cor
ner of the altar steps on which he
went to kneel. Gloves and bouquets
removed mighty men and delicate
women. Wallets priclied their masters
as they served them in their toilet.
Nails stepped in aconite put an end to
petty quarrels. Henry of CASTLE wore
boots one day and never took them off
again. A king of Grenada should
have refused the adornment Of a
variegated royal jacket There was
jealous woman who smiled as
she saw her rival eat the half
of delicious bird that had
touched the poisoned side of the knife
used by kissable hand. A torch
borne before cardinal lighted him to
dusty death. Perfumed dueats slew a
creditor before he could sign the re-
ceipt. There was poison in the pom
mel of the saddle that bore a powerful
queen. 1t is said that Henry the en-
peror and Pope c ement XIV. were
poisoned in draught of the holy
eucharist. There were still more sub
tie devices, too horrible to tell; but
searchers into the dark yet splendid
history of the renaissance and students
of the Elizabeth drama may find
therein many shudder.
Yet there is subtle poisoning even in
these degenerate days. The careless
plumber or the greedy landlord is, in
his way, a lessener of the race. There
are wall papers as efficacious as the
deathly books told of in the Arabian
Nights" or by Dumas the elder. There
are public rooms where foul air induces
diseases. But these methods are slow
and bungling in keeping with cur
boasted civilization. The smooth, the
subtle Italian was more meIeiful-that
is, when he merely accommodated a
master and did not work for his own
pleasure.

There were no books save among the

introduced until nearly century and

There were no schools in the rural
parishes and no semblance Of munie-

country. Public meetings were not
allowed lest they stir up sedition.

The first presidential election to be

the several states, and not by the
choice Of the electors by the respective
legislatures, was that of 1924, when
Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, ohm
Quincy Adams and William II. Craw-
ford were the opposing candidates.
The total vote cast then was 1852, ,062,
which was 5000 less than the total vote
of Texas polled four years ago.
