Whittier Saw Little of the World.

Whittier was the only one of the lead
ing American authors who never crossed
the Atlantic. Not only did he never go
to Europe, he never went south of the
Potomac or west of the Alleghanies.
When the farm at Haverhill was sold
in 1886, part of the price was used to
buy small place at Amesbury, and that
house was Whittier's home for more than
half century. After his return from
Philadelphia, in 1899. he was rarely alb
sent from Amesbury for more than a
month or two at a time, although he did
once reside the better part of year in
Lowell. He made visits to Boston often,
and sometimes even to New York, and
frequently he spent his summers else
where: but until his death his home
was the little house at AmesbWy.-St.

A TALE OF FOUR CATS.
Why the Stout Old Lady and the Sympa-
thetic Gentleman Left the Car.


A stout old lady with a red face and a
big market basket on her arm boarded a
crowded Girard avenue car yesterday aft
ernoon and taking the only vacant seat,
deposited her basket in front of her. In
few minutes strange sounds began
emerging from the basket, and the stout
old lady showed visible signs of embar-
rassment.
The racket continued and finally she
tried to quiet the cat-fOr such it was-by
speaking to it. Her efforts were futile,
though and an old gentleman sitting next
to her thought she had better take off
the lid and see what was the trouble;
maybe it was caught in some manner.
Calamity dropping on one knee. the old
gentleman raised the lid slightly ana
peered inside. He took one look. His
face grew red, and silently replacing the
lid, he walked to the platform and jumped
off without waiting for the car to stop.
This peculiar action aroused the curiosi-
ty of the rest of the passengers, while
the owner Of the basket appeared to be
greatly mystifed. By this time the noise
had ceased, but fully determined to inves-
tigate herself, the old lady tore the lid
Of the basket completely off. Horrors! In
stead of one cat there were four, three
being sleek little kittens, all scrambling
around, with their eyes shut. The pas
sengers were all crowding around now to
get a look at the new family. But the
stout old lady did not seem to relish her
position and signaled the conductor to
stop at the next crossing. Philadelphia

He Bought the House.

Do you know I have taken a great
fancy to that honest old VermOnter, Mar
velle w. Cooper, president of the Stand
ard National bank? In my eyes he is
something of hero. When he decided to
leave home he talked the matter over
with his father, who discouraged him.
He, however, refused to be guided into
remaiiiing at the family hearth, as there
was nothing in it for him, an ambitious
young man. 'Well, if you will co., said
his father, always remember, my son,
that the front door is open for you. If
you make a failure you can always come
back home and find bed and board" And
he fell on his neck and wept.
Father" said Marvelle, swallowing a
sob, Il shall never come home again till l
own the house of Mr.. Brown on the cor
ner" The house of Mr.. Brown was the
finest place in the village and the old man
had long had an eye upon it. After
few years Marvelle returned to his native
town and was warmly welcomed by
father and mother, who felt that their
poor boy was without a home. They
shed few tears over him and then de-
cided that he was to settle down and live
with them.
mot in this old house." he said. "Come
over to Mr.. Browns and I'll talk about
it,
Taking them to the house, he delivered
to his father deeds for the property. You
and mother must live here" he said. I
told you / would never come home till |
owned this house. 1t is mine and give
it to you"
There was great rejoicing in the old
home that night, and the fatted calf was
killed, not for the prodigal, but for the
provident son.

It seems hard to believe that there was

lived there should perpetuate the fact in

York Evening World. Early in the
towns career the road which led from
the fort at the Battery to the ferry for
Brooklyn, which was where Peck slip
now is. became in rough weather VERT
able slough of despond for those who
had to travel it. The demands of public
traffic finally led to the street being paved

paving was of cobbles, and the gutter
