Needed One Thing More.

He was tattered and torn as he knocked
at the side door Of hospitablo up town
mansion and stood shivering in the cold
November blast that almost swept him
from his feet. A benevolent looking wom-
an opened the door and listened with a
pensive smile to his plea for some castoff
clothing.
"Poor fellow !" she said IN kindly tones
"Stay there and will see what can find
in my husbands wardrobe" And she
closed the door in his face.
After long time she reappeared with a
pair of duck trousers, white vest and
some canvas shoes.
II think those will fit you," she said as
her eye took his dimensions, "and it is
really fortunate you called this morning,
as was going to pack them away for
next summer"
"But have no tioket," expostulated
the object sadly.
"Tioket9 Oh, you mean from some
charitable associations"
"No, ma'am I mean for Florida"
"Do you expect to, go to Floridap"
"No, ma am. But / thought you ea-
pected was going there to wear these
clothes. have just one more favor to ask,
madam, if you will pardon the liberty"
"Well?" said theSvoman in short tone.
"Would you kindly add FAM"
The door slammed, and as he turned
sadly away with HIS hot weather clothing
he heard her putting on the burglar chain.

A Bishops Evolution.

Bishop Curtis (Roman Catholio), for
merly of Wilmington, DEL, says that he
once went on a yachting cruise wearing q
rough yachting costume. An Irishman,
observing him changing his clothes as the
boat drew near shore and discovering that
he wore scapulars, said in a rather graft
fed tone, ooh, see that you are Cath
olic." The bishop nodded and said indif
ferently: "Oh, yes l am Catholic. :"
The man continued to watch him, and he
gravely put on his Roman collar. "Oh, !"
said the Irishman, II see you're priest'
The bishop, who had difficulty in main
tanning his gravity, answered, EYES, l am
priest' The man fixed his eyes upon
him with more interest than ever, and
Bishop Curtis then proceeded to put on
his purple scarf The Irishman started
with astonishment and exclaimed, "Why,
see you are bishopp' The bishop said
quietly, eyes, I am Bishop Curtis, and
the man fell on his knee and asked the
bishops blessing. New York Tribune.

A Story OF George w. Childs.

heard an interesting story on Newspa-
per row the other day of the kindness of
heart of the late George w. Childs. Mr..
Childs was leaving The Ledger Office one
night very late when he heard an alarm of
fire, and an old man came running down
the stairs. Mr.. Childs asked him his busi-
ness. ''I'm going to report that fire." said
the old man. "How long have you been a
reporter on this paper?" asked Mr.. Childs.
Fourteen years." said the old man.
"Well," said Mr.. Childs, "you go back to
the city editor and tell him l say to send
somebody who is younger. The old man
obeyed. He was told afterward that he
need not report for duty again. Mr.. Childs
had pensioned him. A year or SO after that
the man who told me the story happened
to enter Mr.. Childs Office just as the PEN
sioner was leaving. The great editor was
laughing. The pensioner, he said, had
come in with great deal of worry on his
mind to ask serious question. "Oon't
you get your money regularity" asked Mr..
Childs ooh, yes" answered the man,
"but it has worried me a lot lately, sir
it has worried me a. lot to know what s
going to become Of me when you die" -

Tiger Teeth a Foot I'm length.

One of the old time monsters which
roamed over this part of the North Amer
ican continent in the early ages of geology,
inhabiting all that vast scope of country
which lies between the Mississippi and the
Rocky mountains, was the saber toothed
tiger. Hewas probably twice the size Of
any member of the cat tribe now existing
and had canine teeth, each foot in length,
shaped like sabers or curved knives, each
tooth having sawlike edge. They lived
at the same time the mastodon, the gigan-
tic sloths and the megatheria did and are
believed to have been great factor in the
determination of those gigantic vegetable
eating beasts. In some portions of the
region inhabited by the saber toothed tiger
it was much more abundant than in 9th
ers Northern and eastern Texas appears
to have been one of its favorite haunts. In
the localities mentioned the teeth, the only
portions of its remains that are now found,
have been picked up by the dozens. In
one place in southern Oklahoma two Of
the saberlike teeth Of one Of these monsters
were found in sinking well One was
found 10 feet underground and the other
SM feet deeper down.-St. Louis Republic.

True Beauty.

No plain woman living but longs to be
beautiful. Yet it is rarely tho case that
nature has not in some other way made it
up to her homely child by variety Of
gifts. A woman with n sunny, loving ma
ture cannot possibly be ugly, for the inner
brightness and charm are obliged to shine
through and lend sparkle to the eyes, a
tender smile to the mouth and general
expression Of radiance to the entire face.
A sweet, true voice is lovely thing In
woman, and gentle touch, quick per-
ception, a sparkling wit, ready sympathy
and merry laugh 60 far toward making
woman beautiful Make the heart and
mind beautiful and the face cannot keep
from being magnetic and attractive

n "1hIbcnteu consulate.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Unless there has been a change at that
place recently, there is a material error in
the stateme mt in Tuesdays Star 10 the eff
feet that the United States consulate at
Shanghai is located in the district of that
city which was coded to American citizens
for occupancy by the government of China
1t is true that there is In Shanghai such
concession as is described. and IN pleas
ant and desirable part of the city, more
over, where many intelligent and patriotic
American citizens reside and do business:
but, strangely enough the United States
consul generals office is not now. although
l think 1t was at one time, located in that
district. On the contrary. ii is in the Brit
ish concessions! and in English property,
as / was told.
Why the American district should thus
be officially ignored and abandoned for a
site on British soil / could not learn but
was informed that the change was made
several years ago by the then consul gen
eral, and that the lease is a long one.
Whether or not the Department of State
authorized or was advised of this action.
l have no means of knowing, but the whole
proceeding struck me strange ane, in
defensible, and SO / think it must impress
any reasonably patriotic
AMERICAN TRAVELLER.
