A Story of Gresham.

While the late General Gresham was on
tho bench a prominent lawyer came into
the courtroom, and speaking to the coun-
sci, who were in the midst Of q case, asked
them as a favor to allow him to interrupt
proceedings for a few minutes. He had n
document, a purely formal matter, which
he wished to cubmit to the court. 1t would
occupy the judge but a moment. The
counsel consented, and the lawyer handed
to Judge Gresham a paper for his sigma
ture.
The lawyer was guardian for two young
children, heirs to a large estate, and the
paper was an order from the court author
ling him to sell certain real estate belong
ing to Them, It lacked only the judges
signature. Judge Gresham, instead Of
signing the document, settled back in his
seat and read it carefully. Then he turned
to the lawyer: "Have you read these pa
persp''. The lawyer answered that he had.
The judge reached for his docket and made
an entry, evidently Of some length. Then
he said to the lawyer, speaking with much
sternness:I IT have removed you from the
guardianship of those children. You may
60, sir" The lawyer stood for q moment
thunderstruok. Then, without a word, he
left the courtroom, and the other case was
resumed.-San Francisco Argonaut.

A Paying Business.

The Buffalo Express says there are two
men in that city who make a good living
by acting as relief men for small druggists
who like a half day of occasionally and
whose business is not SO extensive as to
justify the employment of a clerk regu-
Larry. The law requires that q drug store
shall always be In charge of a licensed
pharmacist. These men have a regular
round of druggists whom they serve. They
are rarely employed at one place for more
than half a day at a time, but they are
kept constantly busy, and manage to make
better wages than If they were hired by
the week.

%sTANFoRD's ONLY SON.
The Child Ia Whose Honor the University
Was Built.

No prince or %potentate, no founder of a
nation or emancipator Of q race, was ever
honore6 with SO magnificent n monument
as that erected to perpetuate the memory
of a 13-year-old boy at Pale Alto, about 80
miles south Of San Francisco, on the coast
division5of the Southern Pacific railroad
This child, the son of Leland and Jane
Lathrop Stanford, died some years ago in
Rome while he was making a tour of SEu-
rope with his tutor. His father and moth
er almost deifled him and dedicated one Of
the largest fortunes that man has ever ac-
cumulated entirely to the education Of
other peoples children, who from this
time on forever are to render homage to
his name.
Everything Is preserved as he left It.
The room he occupied in the great villa,
which has sheltered SO much wealth and
luxury and gayety, has never been dis
turbed. His p%laythings lie q he placed
them when he started away for a few
months Of pleasure. A toy railroad that
was laid across the lawn and through the
%shrubbery to amuse him and give him a
practical knowledge Of the occupation of
his father, and that which he was expected
to follow, still lies there. Its rusty rails
are pathetic witnesses to q memory that
must not be erased, and a shed is pointed
out in which the tiny cars and locomo-
tives, which cost thousands of dollars, are
preserved.
His crude cabinet of curios, marked with
his boyish hand, is the nucleus Of a ST.
600, 900 museum; 8, 500 acres of the best
farming land in America, the finest stock
farm in the world, with II or Is high
bred horses, 5000 acres of vines, valuable
real estate in tho city of San Francisco,
thousands of thoroughbred cattle and per-
sonal property, which has been inventoried
at S18, 600, 900 for taxation, but is believed
to be worth much more, were placed
in the hands Of q board of trustees, who
were to erect Il university, to be called by
his name and lend the influence of the
child in shaping the character and develop
ing the manhood and the womanhood OF
generations that are to come.
His bones lie in a stately mausoleum
erected in a conspicuous place upon the
campus, and those of his father were late.
~ placed beside them with great ceremony
and sorrow. A niche remains for the
mothers casket, when the death angel
calls her name. Then the great bronze
doors are to be sealed, the key is to be
melted, and the dust that is sheltered by
the massive walls is to lie undisturbed un'
til the last trumpet sounds, for the Stan
ford family will be extinct.-San Francis
co Letter in Chicago Record.

Lord shaftesbury's Donkey.

It is now 20 years since the London cos
ters presented a donkey to Lord Shaftes-
bury at one of their annual gatherings,
and it may be remembered that they led
the animal through a crowded hall and up
q flight of stairs on to the platform. With
his right arm round the neck Of the dom
key his lordship said that when he passed
away from this life he desired to have no
more said of him than that he had done
his duty as the poor donkey did his, with
~unwavering PATIENCE and unmurmuring
resignation to everything put upon him.
It would be interesting to know the don
key is still negotiating in the late earl's do
mains.-London Exchange.

No Good HerOines.

The one great defect in the late Robert
Louis Stevenson's writings has always
been in his inability to make a woman.
There have been attempts Of late to knock
down this oft repeated, often referred to
statement. Whatever the truth may be,
his girls are rarely good company, and few
of them are human beings at all. The un-
sympathetic Mamie in "The Wrecker'' is
very living, it must be owned, but she is
exceptional. Esther, in "The Story of a
Lie,'' barely breathes-only just enough
to make your dislike of her a reality.
What is wanting in her and in most of the
others? Stevenson differentiated, conceived
complex girl characters, invented personal
traits, gave them very human vices and
foibles; but it is all Of no avail. He was
working entirely from the outside, and
this is rather remarkable in a man of such
delicately sensitive and even feminine in
stincts. Perhaps his failures arose from a
very frequent source Of such-an exagger-
alton of the differences between the male
and female Observation-Disclosures Ledg-
