Gold Lined Cups Not In It.

A tall young man, with 8 pretty young woman, sauntered across Inde- pendence square yesterday afternoon when Old Sol was at his hottest When they came to the ice water fountain, the young woman stopped and picked up one of the tin cups. and scanning it ruefully shook her head at her compan ion and laid it quickly down again. The next thing was to slip off small suede glove, and placing the pretty hand it fitted under the stream she filled it's palm with water and drank from it three times. And the next thing was to see the young man bend over the same palm while he held her wrist to balance the novel cup, and five times it took to satisfy him, and right willingly did the pretty young woman fill it and place it to his lips. Both actors were perfectly unconcerned, and after the young man had dried the young wom- ans hand in his pocket handkerchief they sauntered in down town direc- tion. Philadelphia Record.

Piece of Engineering.
 ''One of the pleasantest recollections I have to look back on, " said Adam Johnson, is the fact that was one of the party that helped to run up the American colors over Cleopatra's needle when it was being taken down to be carried to New York. Our vessel was out ill the Mediterranean with rowing commission, and we were at Alexandria at the time the obelisk was being mov- ed The big stone had been presented by the Egyptian government to this coun- try, but the people were wild about hav- ing it moved. We had to place guard around the men whe were working on the shaft, aud even then there was ai- most riot.
 '.But that WAS one of the prettlest pieces of engineering work have ever seen. The engineers who were moving our shaft had 8 couple of big wooden cases built that fitted around the needle like the pieces of wood around the lead in pencil There were couple of pro iectiles on each side of the castings just on the center of gravity ill the shaft, like the trunnions on cannon. Under these they put lifting jacks and just picked that immense stone of Its pedestal swung it around horizontal and then lowered 1t as gently as could be on long sliding way, with cannon balls under it for rollers. They had square hole cut ill the stern of the steamship and slid it into the hull through that and replaced the sheathing outside.
 ssUnder the shaft in the inside of the pedestal there were lot of bronze toads and ornaments and the Lord knows what not that the Masons claimed were placed there by some of their prsgenltors cons ago. don't know anything about thai though. and you can leave 1t or take It.

TRAGEDIES ON roMRsTones.
English Churchyards and Their Deepl,
 Craven Accusations of Murder.

English Chnrchyards and Their Deeply
 Craven Accusations of Murder.
 In the churchyards of Britain several tombstones exist with the accusations of murder deeply engraved upon them. 4 stone over the grave of three children ill Warrington (Durham1 churchyard bears the following inscriptions:
 Sleeping we were slain.
 And here we sleep till we must rise again.
 h Sandridge ehurohyard, Surrey, on the tombstone of a custom house officer smugglers is the following: Thou shalt do no murder, nor shalt thou steal Are the commands Jehovah did reveal. But thou, o wretch, without fear or dread Of thy tremendous Maker, shot me dead.
 On stone in Cadoxton churehyard, Glamorganshire, is inscribed the most fearful accusation of murder to be found on any tomb ill Great Britain:
 ''To RECORD MURDER
 ssThis stone was erected over the body of Margaret Williams, aged 26, living in service iR this parish, who was found dead with marks of violeaee upon her ill ditch on massh below this church yard on the morning of Sunday, the 14th July, 1922.
 Although the savage murderer es- capped for season the detection of man, yet God hath set his mark upon him either for time or eternity, and the cry of blood will assuredly pursue him to certain and terrible but righteous judgment. ''
 A tombstone stood in Dulverton churchyard few years ago on which was inscribed:
 Poisoned by the doctor, neglected by the nurse, The brother robbed the widow, which made
 the matter worse.
 An accusation of murder appears on the tomb of Edwin, the Irish comedian who was buried in St. Werburgh' s churchyard, Dublin, and also on tombs to be found in Acton churchyard. Glou- cestershire; Hoo, near Rochester; Little Stukeley, and Mytton, near Clitheroe, Lancashire. London Tit-Bits

SENATOR VANCE MET THE ISSUE.
But the Reporter Failed to Get Big
 .sscoop'' All the Same.

But the Reporter Failed to Get a Big
 Scoop All the Same.
 s'I once had an experience, said an old newspaper man at the Press club to & reporter, with the late Senator Vance which shall never forget. It was during Crisp's first contest for the speak ership, and, as you all probably remem- Der, every newspaper man i'll town was hustling for inside news. The sources of this, as usual i'll such cases, were very few, and Senator Vance, who was act ing in the capacity of an advisor to the nominating caueus had to spend most of his time dodging journalists.
 "So wary did he become that he dis continued taking his lunch in the senate restaurant and had it served in a com mittee room. One day, however, caught glimpse of him passing through one of the lower corridors on the house side. Determined not to let him escape me, at once hastened forward, and in the most innocent manner possible be- gan asking him about his health, which was rather bad at the time. He answer ed all my questions in the kindest manner possible and was about to leave when I said;
 Oh, by the way, senator, who do you think will get the nomination.
 q T don't know exactly, he replied, but they will have to fight if they want to win.
 Certain now of my information, l began to see the letter was going to re- ceiye from the home office, after they had published my big scoop, telling me in the most fattering terms that tho paper had decided to raise my salary on account of my good work.
 4 Which side, senatorT l asked, al- most in whisper for fear some one would be lurking in the dark recesses and hear the reply which was to make me the most noted hustler for news ill the ranks of journalism.
 .' Both sides he replied as he disap- peared in the door of 8 committee room.
 And the letter that l looked for never came Washington Times.

 4'The British were not half so slick with the obelisk they carried over to England. They eased it up ill big sheet iron arrangement like boiler, riy eted it i'll and floated the whole thing off through trench aug ill the sand down to the water Then they rigged jury sails on it and lowed it over to England, but they lost three or four men off it before they got it in port and had all sorts of a time generally.
 "A couple of years afterward saw the British obelisk set up on the east bank of the Thames, and when I came home the first thing I went to see was ours in Central park. Washington Post.
