DO Thy Best"

His eve was failing; bis hand
was trembling. Age had SIT its
shackles on him. To younger
hands the unfinished picture must
be resigned.
81 commission thee. my son,
said the aged artist, ''to do thy
BEST"
And the younger man hesitated,
thinking the duty too vast for him.
But still kept sounding the injunc-
ton: DO thy best; do thy best"
And with prayer for help and
high purpose in his heart, the
young man began. AS he wrought
his hand grew steady, his concep-
ton cleared, each stroke became Q
master stroke, until at last, before
the finished picture, with fearful
exultation, the aged artist gave
into the hand of Leonardo de Vinci,
who was worthy BIT cause he had
sought to do his best, the task
from which his own trem blir z
hand was dropping.-Hoyt.

TO ADoRN THE SQUARES.
The Park and Tree Commission
Calls for Designs.

The park and tree commission held an
interesting meeting yesterday afternoon.
IL was lengthy one, as are most Of the
meetings held by this commission. The
commissioners are so interested in their
work and there are so many things con-
nected with IL which they are interested
In finding out. that they find IL difficult
10 hold short meeting. All Of the mem
bers Of the commission were present.
Perhaps the most important matter dis
cussed was the Improvement OF the
squares and the best means of beautify-
Ing them. A resolution was adopted thar
lue secretary advertise for bids from the
gardeners OF the city Tor the special
adjournment Of all the principal squares
win the idea OF placing some special de-
sibh IN each square suitable 70 that par
uculaE square The idea is rather a novel
one The commissioners believe that the
competition among the gardeners will re-
sun ~ some very unique designs being
submitted. In case bids should be ac-
cepted from several different gardeners
the competition would still continue with
benefit 10 the city.
The commissioners have had the old
cemetery photographed from six different
views, the photographs being large size
ABOUT inches by u inches. The con-
pleted copies were before the meeting and
inc views We're found 10 be very good
The object in having these views taken

making future Improvement. The survey
OF the cemetery Is now being made for

II has some special features which can
be emphasized so as to bring out the
beauties OF the natural growth. There is
an avenue OF expresses there about half
a mile long, which can be made very
beautiful There is a fine growth of pines
and other natural growth in another part
or the park, which is susceptible of easy
improvement. The general lay of the

ROBBED HIS BENEFACToR.
John Cameron Badly Wanted for His
MisdofnES

Some Of the benefactors of John Came
ron. are looking for him and they want him
badly. Archie Paul, a Scotchman met Cam
eron night before last at the residence of
his brother and Cameron appeared to be
in a rather hard row for stumps
Both of them being Scotchmen. Paul in
vited Cameron TO come around to his
house. where he gave him bed for the
night, and treated him most considerable
ly. The fact that they were both of the
same nationality led him to treat Came
ron almost as he would a member of his
family.
When Paul got up yesterday to so about
his work he found that Cameron had es-
capped from The house. and with him had
gone Paul's watch and 81 in money which
had been taken from his pocket. besides
a quart of good old Scotch whisky which
he was keeping on hand for special occa-
sions
Paul was employed by a contractor nam
ed Scott as was also Cameron sometime
ago. Scott had given Cameron his watch
to have repaired. and when he went TO
the jewelers. to look for it yesterday he
found that it had also disappeared with
Cameron Cameron is supposed to have
gone to Alabama, as he was heard some

state. The matter was reported to the au-
thorities. but no trace Of Cameron has

HETTY GREENS CANARY.
Lively Time at the Riggs when the
Bird Escaped.
From the washington News.

From the Washington News
Hetty Green, the wealthiest woman in
the world, stopped at the Riggs a few days
ago, She did not register. and the clerks
had orders to conceal the fact of her pres
ence. Mrs. Green during her stay at the
hotel would stand at a window fronting
on Fifteenth street and stare for hours at
the Ionic architecture of the grey, wealth
er fretted building across the Wav Mrs
Green is said to love the old Stewart block
on Broadway between Tenth and Eleventh
streets, now occupied by Hilton, Hughes
q Co, better than any piece of real estate
IN the world. She has a mortgage of 81
5000 on the property, money advanced to
Judge Hilton some years ago when he was
greatly embarrassed. Next to this real es-
tate she would probably prefer the owner
snip of the treasury building than any
other structure on earth. An amusing in
cident occurred during the millionaire
visit TO washington. So much has been
said and written about her heart of flint
that 1t seemed strange she should have a
single affection. Yet she brought with her
to the Riggs a canary. The old lady was
passionately fond of the bird, and when it
escaped from the room one day she was
grief stricken. In her sorrow and excite
ment she made wild offer of So TO the
bell boy who would find her pet The neigh
borhood was secured by the buttoned gen
try, and their search being unsuccessful
they tried several ringers on the old la
dy. But she knew her bird and refused to
be duped. The canary was finally found bv
a small freckle-face newsboy. He carried
it up to Mrs. Green, who went into an ecs-
tacy of joy. The boy had placed the bird
in small wooden cage, which he clutched
firmly in very dirty hand. Give me the
cage, my little man." said Mrs Green.
Gimme de dough" retorted the unabash-
ed boy. Mrs Green told him she would
willingly give the dollar she had promised.
Say" replied the gamin, you takes me
fer good ting; l amt. Youse promised.
five and gifts or I'll wiring de stuff's cho-
ker," and the boy made a vilainous move
toward the bird. which chirruped feebly.
This was too much for Mrs. Green. She
hastily pulled out a bill with General
Grants vignette on it and exclaimed:
You little scoundrel. now will YOU hand
me that cage?"
Gimme one hand on dat BILL" sullenly
said the boy.
And you give me one hand on that
cage, Missed Mrs. Green. This strangely
assorted pair advanced cautiously toward
each other, and in that fashion exchanged
cage and bill. The boy gave a whoop of
joy as he slid down the banisters. Saw
he cried to one of the bell boys, dat bird
