TOUCHED MANY HEARTS.
4 Little Living Picture Winsthe Sym
pathy and Pie and Cake for Two.
New York World

He sat on the lowest step OF the Park
place station stairs. a poor little picture
by Murillo. His face was wondrous pale.
1t almost seemed transparent in the light
of the electric lamp. His long hair hung
disheyeled yet picturesque in tangled curls
clustering around his olive neck His cap
had fallen to the stone, and he slept the
sleep of utter Weariness.
Wayfarers Fastening up or down the
stairs paused and azed on the sad picture
with pity. They looked at the dropping
figure, the ragged clothes, all bedraggled
by the rain and fog. the shoes five sizes
larger than his feet. the little bundle of wet
and useless papers beneath his arm Some
dropped nickels into his lap. Others put
pennies or dimes into his gapin g pocket and
passed on, smiling 10 think how sly their
charity had been. But the lad slept ON, un-
conscious apparently that he had stirred up
the best emotion that humans know, the
sweet well-spring of sympathy and
fraternity. Presently another newsboy
whiSked around the corner of Church street.
"Whist. Cheesyl' he said.
Murillo's boy opened one eye cautiously
and then the other.
Hi, Boneseyr' he replied, in a stage whis

she should not incumber the carriage with

PATRIOTISM In THE PULPIT
Revolutionary Sons Listened to a
Sermon On WASHINGTON.
Rev. DR.. Radcliffe's Analysis OF the
Great American as Chris
tlan Man

Services in commemoration of Washing
toms Birthday by the Sons of the Reyolu-
ton and Sons Of the American Revolution
were held at the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church yesterday afternoon.
The church was artistically draped in
the national colors, a pretty effect being
a large and two small fan-shaped festoons
at the arches in the rear OF the pulpit,
suspended from the claws of three gilded
eagles.
The Marine Band was stationed in front
of the pulpit, aud played March Re
ligeuse" as the initial number of the cele-
bration .'Old Hundred" was sung by
the congregation.
The choir of the First Baptist Church
sat at the front of the balcony, and, di-
rected by Prof. n. Du Shane Coward, sang
"Sing Alleluia Forth and with the
audience sang "All Hail the Power OF
Jesus Name
After the Marine Band played An
geius,' Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe de-
| livered an address. 1t had no specific
| title, but dwelt upon the idea OF Gods
| instrumentality in the achievements OF
| Washington. He said, in part:
1T is significant and pretty that the
Revolutionary Sons have a holiday on a
holy day to commemorate great and good
man. Gods presence was evident In the
| life of Washington. God, through him,
| established the republic, as he has con-
| trolled all history and made use of the
proper man at the proper time.
"He summons his best for his greatest
work Washington began religious
/ career at the knees OF pious mother, and
those lessons guided, strengthened, and
fitted him for the mighty accomplishment
which marked his after life.
while men on every side OF him were
| killed he was saved. 1t was not chance OF
| accident. but the power OF simple faith

Anyhow we do not judge men by their

This is the case involving the validity
Of the act resubmitting the prohibition
clause of the constitution. The court
refused the application to restrain the
secretary OF state from providing that
the question should be placed upon the
ballots, on the ground that at The pres

to review the case and pass upon the
question involved. That until the peo-
pie had voted upon 1t and IL had
reached n stage where action could be
taken under it's provisions he court

CHAPTER XVII
A Clean Of Sunshine

In a very little while Tony was HIM
self again; and, starting from the
chair into which he just before had
fallen, and walking straight up to
Stanley C%larenOrt, he said. forcibly:
The man, sir, t. whom you have Civ
en your watch is q thief"
Stanley looked confusedly and Won
deringly at Tony; while the peddler,
saugly enscOnced behind the window
curtains. found Il very uneasy feeling
creeping over hin.
"Have I not already told you that he
is no thief. and that /"
Yes; YOU, perhaps. may believe him
an honest man." cried Tony, interrupt
ing Stanley: but he is. for all that,
the thief that l have fer a long time
been looking after"
More and more pcrplexed were
growing beth Stanley and his associ-
ate; and Tony, endeavoring TO ex-
plain himself more clearly, could only
mutter: That dream has done il.
ON, my poor brother-ny poor broth
err"
His brother? What could he mean?
the others were, both of them, asking
themselves.
"Mr. Claremont, you have saved u.s."
Tony gratefully exclaimed. "And now
please to tell me all you know about
that rascal to whom you gave your
watch"
First Of ALL" was Stanley's reply,
"tell me something Of yourself. Who,
In reality, are you? What is your
name?"
"Who am I?-what Is my name?'
cried Tony. MY name is Anthony
Drummand. and I am Sydney Drum
mond's brother!"
