THE CHILD'S PRAYER,

Into her chamber went
A little maid one day,
And by chair she knelt
And thus began to pray:
Jesus, my eyes | close;
Thy form cannot see;
III thou art near me, Lord,
l pray thee speak to me-"
A still small voice she heard within her soul ::
"What is it, child? hear thee. Tell me all ;
81 pray thee, Lord" she said,
''That thou wilt condescend
10 tarry i'll my heart
And ever be my friend.
The path of life is dark,
would not go astray;
Oh, let me have thy hand
To lead me in the way"
"Fear not, l will not leave thee, child
alone"
6he thought she felt q soft hand press her own
"They tell me, Lord, that all
The living pass away;
The aged soon must die,
And even children may.
Oh. let my parents live
Til a woman grow,
For II they die, what can
A little orphan do?'
"Fear not, my child. Whatever ills NAV come
I'll not forsaile thee till bring thee home"
Her little prayer was said,
And from her chamber now
She passed forth with the light
OF heaven upon her brow.
Mother, I've seen the Lord,
His hand in mine l felt,
And, oh, heard him say
AS by my chair knelt:
Fear not, my child. Whatever ills NAV como,
II not forsalle thee till bring thee home.'"

HYPHENATED NAMES.
>olne Are Genuine, Others Simply Stand
For Snobbery-How to Distinguish.

Some Are Genuine, Others Simply Stand
For Snobbery-How to Distinguish.
Hyphenated names in Europe may be
divided into two overwhelmingly,
those wherein the hyphen is mere piece
OF snobbely and atfectation, and those
wherein it is consequent upon legal
obligation. The latter are in the minor
1ty and are borne almost invariably by
legatees and their descendants, who have
lnheflted property, usually real estate,
contingent upon their tacking the name
OF the testator Oh to their own, or else
they are mon who have married heiresses
and been accepted as husbands for the
latter on the condition that they should
append the family name of their wives
to their own patronymic.
People i'll the other category, who use
the hyphen merely With the object of
creating the impression that they are Of
moro ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead of ap-
pending, the additional name, and it is
this that enables one to distinguish the
bona fide double barrel, " as Lord Ran
dolph Churchill used to call them, from
those VINO are not, for you have only to
ask Mr. Ponsonby Jones for the name of
his paternal grandfather in order to find
out that the old gentleman was Il simple
Jones, devoid of the aristocratic Ponson-
by, whereas i'll the case of surnames
adopted i'll Difference to testamentary
dispositions one Will invariably find on
inquiry that the paternal grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of the two
patronymics.
The persons who make use of hyphen-
ated names without being compelled to
do so are usually the owners of patro-
nymics excruciatingly plebeian, who
hope, vainly, it is true, to redeem the
commonplace character Of their name by
pretixing thereto one calculated, they
trust, to create the impression that they
ara connected With some of the great
houses OF the nobility Thus it is quite
common to find Montmorency- Smiths,
Plantagenet Robinsons and We're de
We're Browns. Chicago Tribune

Chair of the Giant Idris,

One of the mountain peaks Of north
Wales is known as the Chair Of Idris, OF
Cader ldris, as the Welsh people call it,
tecause its top is followed out like IN
immense couch. According to local ira
dltlon, whoever spends a night in the
Chair OF Idris WILL on the following
morning, be dead raving mad or cn,
dowed with the loftiest poetical inspira-
ton. No one seems to know exactly who
ldris was OF when he lived, but he must
have been a giant if his body was i'll
proportion With his celebrated "chair. "

Chain Of ldriS as the theme, and Tenny-

Such Is Life,

pretty and we'll dressed AS we rolled
down Union square cab passed the car
My nelghbor craned her neck, and point
ing her finger at the cab remarked to
me, That's Judge Hilton III that cab. -
Every one III the car looked at the occu-
pant Of the cab. Then she took me into
her confidence and retailed such facts
about the judge as have been printed
from time to time i'll the papers.
As the car tore around the Broadway
carve her attention was diverted, and
she ha'm t done scolding about the speed
and the curves when we passed a Broad

lars and Cuffs Laundried eff they

Everybody turned and looked at the

was watching the woman from the rear

him. AS she passed out the men opposite

He Could Ee Indifferent,

1t Isn't every man that owns silk

young mans life to possess one. A
young man in our end of town went to
the matinee with the only girl he ever

He put it under the seat carefully, and
the next person who came in gave it a
kick that practically ruined it, Most
young fellows would have had a fit right
there, but this one said nothing at all
He was SO philosophical that the girl
was charmed. As they came out of the
theater they met another young man,
and tho three went to get some soda
water The girl told about the young
mans hat, and how philosophical he
was:

"Umph, y said Jack, with fire in his
eye, g it's all right for him to be lovely,

Korea, the country which caused all

walters handed around some of the 9TH
or dishes which stood on the table.
These contained meats of various kinds
beef, pork and fried fish cut in thin
yellow slices. AT this juncture there en-
tered several Korean singing girls, clad
in tho gaudiest costumes, and whose
business it was to make themselves gen
orally agreeable when at banquet, for
they constitute all the female society

call good, nor was their dancing, but
their conversation and presence certain

eventually comes to an end, and this
one closed with decoction of pear Juice

When it comes to uttering patriotic
thoughts and sentiments their is no
citizen who could have better ex-
pressed the idea of true Americanism
than did Archbishop Ireland in his ad
dress recently delivered at Boston.
Coming from man of foreign birth it
carries with it strong plea to leave
foreign ideas and customs where they
belong. The archbishop says: mo

chise until a sufficient length of resi-
dence in America has given full op-
portunities to understand her institu.

ment should be given to social and po-
Clitical organizations or methods which
perpetuate in this country foreign ideas
and customs. An rsh-American, a
German American or a French Ameri-

Minneapolis Journal: The president
is evidently just as much afraid of an
extra session of congress as the busi-
ness world is and will not call one if he
can avoid it. The hope is expressed
that the income tax failure will not Sc
seriously effect the revenues of the
government that it will be necessary to
either issue bonds or call an extra ses-
sion. Escape from both these possible
ills is most earnestly to be desired.
What the country wants especially now
is freedom from business disturbance
through legislation.
The probabilities are that an extra
session of congress would not ameliorate
the condition of business nor add any
greater confidence in the business
world. There is far greater chance
for the present difficulties to
adjust themselves than to leave it to a
session of congress. The assistance
one naturally looks for from the foun-
tain OF wisdom has not been forthcom-
ing.

Both Died In Jerusalem.

Monk Gerbcrt, who ascended the papal
throne under the title of Sylvester III,
anticipating Roger Bacon, made a
bronze head, Which, like that owned by
the reputed inventor of gunpowder, was
capable OF answering him like an oracle
From this head he learned that he would
not die until he performed mass at Jeru-
salem, and SO he determined to live for
ever, by taking especial care not to go to
the Holy City, Unfortunately Gerbert
soon found that brazen heads, like other
juggling tiends, "but keep the word Of
promise to our ear and break it to our
hope" for one day he was taken serious
ly i'll just after he had celebrated mass
in one Of the churches at Rome On in
quiring the name of this particular
church he heard, much to his dismay,
that it was popularly known as "Jeru-
salem, " and he died i'll great agony a
few hours afterward. Five hundred
years after this Master Robert Fabian
gives us the story of the death of King
Henry Nv, and tells us how that in his
youth it had been prophesied that he
would die i'll Jerusalem, and that the
prophecy, as i'll the case Of Gerbert, was
i'll way fulfilled by the king dying in
the Jerusalem chamber at Westminster.

Argus-Leader: The invention of
transmitting pictures by telegraph, has
been made practical and the other day
the San Francisco Call received and
printed an accurate photograph of the
grand entry into Los Angeles of the
queen Of the Fiesta. The method OF
transmission is simple The original
picture is drawn upon paper ruled into
squares one-tenth of an inch in diam
eter These squares are all numbered.
The operator simply wires the mum bers
OF the squares where the lines OF the
cut cross and the operator at the other
end sketches the curving line. Por-
traits are transmitted with accuracy
and the cost is about two dollars a cut.
The invention is covered by patent
and it is expected to become very val
liable in the newspaper business as well
as for detective purposes.
