The Man and the Bow.

one da a man was walking along the
street, and he was sad at heart Business
was dull He had set his desire upon a
horse that cost 81 600, and he had only
$500 with which to buy it. There were
other things, to he sure, that might be
bought with $500, but he did not want
those; so he was sorrowful and though,
the world bad place.
As he walked, he saw a child running
toward him. 1t was a strange child; but
when he looked at it, its face lightcned like
sunshine and broke into smiles. The
child held out its closed hand.
Guess what / have!'' it cried gleefully.
Something fine, / am sure said the
man, pleasantly.
The child nodded and drew nearer, then
opened its hand.
Look ii said; and the street rang
with happy laughter.
The man looked, and in the child hand
la y a penny.
"Hurrah,' said the child.
"Hurrah.' said the man.
Then the Y parted, and the child went and
bought a stick Of candy, and sa W ali the
world red and white in stripes.
The man went and put his $500 in the
savings bank, all bat 30 cents; and with the
90 cents he bought a brown hobbyhorst
with white spots for his own little boy
and the little boy saw all the world bro WI
with white spots.
is this the horse you wanted so to buy
father?' asked the little boy.
lit is the horse l have bought said the
man.
"Hurrah,' said the little boy.
"Hurrah"' said the man.
And he saw that the world was a gooC
place, after all.-St. Nicholas.

Found Ericsson's Drawing Board.

An engineer in the department of docks,
New York city, thinks that he has dis
covered the old drawing board on which
Ericsson drew the plans for his famous
Monitor. The wood is stained by age, and
it is filled with holes from the thumb tacks
that have been driven into it, Ericsson
was employed by the Delamater Iron Works
when hedeslgnedtheM Monitor. The company
built derrick for the city afew ears later
and at that time the olddrawing board was
taken from their office and placed in
the derrick. t was kicked around care
lessly for several years, and finally landed

1t would be out OF place to speak of the
JacFies without saying something about
their relatives, the "JullieS or, in
other words, the United states Marine
Corps, which, under Colonel Commandant
Haywood, made as splendid a show in the
parade as any arm Of the national service;
but the marines have been too often and
sincerely admired and praised in straps
and strategy to require repeated review.
The naval end of the celebration should
not be passed by without remark upon
the satisfactory and encouraging impress

In another room he directed my attention
TO rows OF shining tin buckets, which he
said were filled with bakers eggs

There are many storage rooms circlipg
the big market, all of them frigid and
silent, their miles or piping coated with
frost that sparkles like ''sure enough

refrigerating machines, each large enoug h

The military feature of the inauguration
parade was about everything that could
have been desired from professional
standpoint, In numbers the troops par
ticipating were fewer than heretofore,
but It'll doubtful If that is much to be re-
GREETED. The comparative shortness OF
the line of march, the crowded condition
of streets upon which large masses OF
soldery, in addition to civilian organi-
Zations, must rest before the starting of
such parades, and the excessive consump-
tion of time involved in a march past,
with, say, eight or ten thousand more Men
than were reviewed on Thursday, all seem
to favor the idea of some restriction in
numbers. Nevertheless, it would have
been pleasant to see a few more of the
crack regiments of the country than were
able to attend

of spectators, is locked up in the Fourth

Goss has been upon a protracted spree for

he spent $500. Last Friday he threat

about the house with a butcher knife, and
upon this charge he is held and Will be

Last night he was none the worse for the

Girably, and the entire movement was ac-
complished quite within the time provided
for in the original headquarters estimate.
The appearance, carriage and conduct of

soldiery presence, discipline and drill of
the Cleveland City Troop, the Presidential
escort attracted and were entitled to at
tract the most favorable comment. Their
handsome hussar uniform, black horses, and
their excellent marching in platoon front
made them seemlike regulars. Other Ohio

about home troops. To say that its ap-

Zine, would be like saying the saWe thing
of a regiment like the Seventh or Twenty
second New York; they could not te
otherwise. But after all the great and,
to some extent, the novel feature OF the
parable was the appearance in the column
OF the United States Blue Jackets from
the squadron at Norfolk, as infantry.
The form, carriage, step, alignment and
everything else about the ''jackies' was
not excelicd by any regular army troops.
In fact their marching was something Of
q revelation. In watching their clear
cut alert movement, one could not help
thinking how they could drop over the
siles of their ships into launches, make
for the land, skip into the surf and out
of it to form in line of battle and attack

monkeys and the steadiness and force OF

Since i t appears almost certain that war

averted, if it has not already begun in a
way, the relative military strength OF the
two powers, brought do wn to date. should
prove interesting. to readers, both prOfes-
SionaI and civilian. The best opinion of our
own staff service is that in personnel the
Greek forces are far better than those of
their Mussulman opponent.
Their intelligence, discipline and morals
are far superior. The military force OF
Turkey comprises GAS battalions of in

airy, $1,000 men; 1856 artillery guns, 54,

of the regular troops and the reserves, the

I got along quite comfortably without
knowing the first thing about the frozen
regions above the market until the market
master took me on an eX ploTing eXpedi-
ton. The receiving room for shipped
goods opens into a cobbled court filled
with country wagons. Through its doors
burly black porteTs wheel trucks IN and
out with the precision of wound up tops,
and through other doors along the paved
sides comes an unintelligible buzz as if
the market were an asylum for noises
gone mad.
White-aproned men shooting out of these
doors carry on their faces a conviction
that the welfare Of this world and the
next depends on their motion, while even
the Industrious little hydrant next the wall
seems to pump out in ceaseless rythm:
This is my busy day!''
The market master led me past the little
pump, through a door that shut out the
daylight, and along a dark place full of
queer sounds until he came to a pit that
suggested creepy kinship to those other
pits dug by Dante and Poe. From the
pit rose huge iron rod, down which
slipped with sinister stealth platform

THE MARKET BASKET

The busiest spot n the city last Tuesday
was the Center Market, between O'Clock
in the morning and in the afternoon
The big brick hive, roofing enough pro-
duce TO feed the whole District and its
countless guests, began its work before
the sun. By 6 O'Clock the butchers had
hung on their hooks meat enough to gorge
an army of giants; the hucksters seemed to
have cornered the whole earth, so far as
concerned ''the fruits thereof while down
the entire length of one wing Were con-
gregated fish from every body Of water
in the country and every game bird that
flies.
A prominent dealer, speaking OF the hun
dreds of strangers who visited the market
during the past week, said that he was
particularly surprised at the inte rest mani
tested in the cold storage attachment,
because the majority of our own people
seem never TO give it thought.
