Faithful and Fearless.

More than so years ago, when Leonldas
Polk was a cadet at West Point, he was
selected for difficult duty, and thereby
marked out as a student in whom princl-
pie was more powerful than fear of ridi-
Guile or disapproval The members OF the
Oldest class had been in the hal bit OF lying
In bed at early roll call and had come to
assert some sort of traditional right to be
reported as present.
The authorities had endeavored to cor
rect this breach of discipline, but had
found that it could not be done without
the aid of orderlies who could not be in
duced to swerve from the line OF duty,
even by the public opinion of whole corps
of cadets.
Two men were chosen from the chap
lain's recent converts, and one OF them
was Polk. The chaplain heard of the choice,
and determined to have an explicit ac-
acknowledgement of the reason of the APP
pointment, be took his stand, one day, be-
side Colonel Thayer when the companies
were marching out to evening parade.
ssColonel,' . said he, 'swhy have you Sc
Iected those two cadets for orderly SER
geants? AS for Polk, don t wonder; he
is a fine fellow and marches well, but the
other man is mere SLOUGH"
1.-THE truth is; said the colonel, "we
had to take them. / thought those men
the two men who could be relied upon to
do their duty at all hazards. I"
The event justified his choice. The or
derlies were cajoled and threatened, and
at last they were plainly offered the alter
native of resigning or allowing the usual
practice to go on. They quietly answered
that neither course would be right, and
that they intended to do their duty. They
did it accordingly and after time found
no more difficulty in enforcing the rules

ARTIST AND CRITIC.
The First Was Accurate, and the Second
Had Reason to Be Appreciative.

The First Was Accurate, and the second
Had Reason to Be AppreciatIve.
1t was Saturday night, and the outgoing
'stheater train was crowded a man
with light brown overcoat ON his arm
and wearing crush hat rose and gave his
seat to self possessed young woman with
gold trimmed eyeglasses and stood patient
iy in the aisle, eheered somewhat by the
reflection that she had thanked MIN.
In one OF the side seats short distance
away sat an old man absorbed in a news
paper. His hat was off, and as the car was
warm he removed his coat. With his bald
head, long and struggling beard, old fash-
Toned spectacles, homemade shirt and
back township appearance generally, he
was striking figure, and it was not long
until he attracted the attention OF the
young woman with the gold trimmed eye
glasses
Drawing from some hiding place known
only to herself a small blank book and
lead pencil she began to make sketch OF
him. Little by little it grew under her
skillful fingers, notwithstanding the mo-
ton of the car, into striking likeness,
She was an artist, and portraiture evident
ly was one of her specialties. The sketch
attracted the notice of the man who had
given her his seat.
II beg your pardon, +" he said, STOPPING
to look at it, 'sbut I am something OF
judge of such work as that, and il you will
permit a total stranger to express his ap-
probation of your drawing / should like
to say that it is wonderfully lifelike and
artistic.
stDo you think soa" she replied.
81 do. You have caught his expression
exactly. The fringe of hair round his head,
his long whiskers, his prominent nose, his
Anticipated glasses, the intense earnestness
with which be is reading his paper and
his utter Inconsistencies that he can pos
sibly be an object OF interest or curiosity
to anybody are all reproduced with star
Ting fidelity. Don't let me interrupt you
in your drawing. 1t isn't every day you
have the opportunity to make study OF

"And you do we'll to improve it. He is
altogether unique. He looks as If this

he ever visited city. Probably it is. That
was an admirable touch. With two or
three deft strokes you have made it ten
times more laughable, and yet you have
hardly exaggerated any feature. That is
where true talent for caricature comes in. !"
"Ah, now you are fattering me.

The Hay Quilt.

About the quaintest invention in bed
covering is the hay guilt. 1t is made OF
fannelette, cretonne or wool and an arm
full or two of hay. The goods are sewed
strongly across the top and bottom and
down one side, and quilted across from
side to side at distances of about a inches.
The hay is put in lightly and the remain
ing side sewed down. When the hay be-
comes limp, hang the quilt before the fire,
and it soon becomes crisp again. The
warmth of these quilts cannot be realized,
except by those who have tried them. In
making these quilts they should be made
quite as wide as the beds they are intend
ed to cover. They are equal in warmth to
two or three blankets
Such quilts are much used by the peas
antry in the Swiss mountains, who appre-
Diate the warmth they afford. New York

A WONDERFUL INFLUENCE.
Out on the lonely street some one is
shoutlng-co You listen, and
you hear Napoleon directing his disease
led troops upon the fatal retreat from
Russia. The poor lunatic imagines that
ne Is Napoleon. a crowd gathers about
luminosity lunaties. But he heeds them
not. suddenly woman appears on the
scene. She carries a little child. The
lunaIlc sees the child, and at once NapO-
leon, Moscow, war-everything that is
not-ls forgotten, and the Door fellow
rushes TO the child and kisses it. He is
sane again.
1t is a wonderful influence that children
exercise over the insane. II is humanity
unaccountable. But it is endeavored to
be accounted for by scientists of the Salt
petrlere type, who say that the lunatics
who come to Gheel have already impressed
upon their minds that the fact of their re-
siding there will effect their cure. And
II IS limited from this direction that, as
Dickens said 1t is a beautiful thing that
those who SO lately came from God should
love Us, D" the lunatics, recognizing in Saint
Dymphna the embodiment Of purity and
innocence, instinctively hold children in
the same place in their regard.
1t is a queer place and inhabited by
queer people. Gheel is undoubtedly one
Of the queerest places on earth For in
stance: The writer dined there one eve
ming. AT the same table were seated an
old gentleman and young lady, not long
out Of her teens. 1t was a delightful
party. The old gentleman had been a
great traveller. He knew America as
well as he knew Belgium or Flanders or
Northern Europe.
A SURPRISE FOR DESSERT.
The young lady branched from the uni
versal weather trunk to science, music
yachting. botany and goodness knows
what. Suddenly, Just as the desert was
being put on the table. the young lady
stood up, and in the most tragic manner
said:
The time has come. am prepared. -
Don't mind her. said the gentleman.
The poor thing is demented. She be-
Heves she is Marie Antoinette."
But this incident was not the climax
The sun had set Half an hour later the
twilight had gone. Coffee. cigarettes and
liquors had done their duty. A game Of
dOminOes had been begun when the old
gentleman addressed the writer, saving:
You contemplate wretch Know you

yet you epdeavor TO withhold me from

down TO a game Of dOmin0es.
II was well for Europe
But is not such a condition Of existence
for mild lunatics much better than shut
ting them up in cells or asylums, where
even the children cannot influence them
for gOOd} II is q lesson worthy Of trial
even though it began with superstition.
