Long after his wife and children were

thinking complacently of his success.

From Council Bluffs, Iowa, comes .
story that illustrates several phases OF
human nature. In that city the other
day a man who is very poor and who
Is likely to remain 30, owing to the
fact that an accident has deprived him
of both his arms, found a large roll OF
greenbacks. The money lay in the gut
ter and the finder could almost hear 1t
beg him to pick 1t up. This, on &C.
count Of his misfortune, he could not
do. So he quietly kicked the treasure
into the shadow of a building and
tried to think out a safe method OF
transferring 1t to his lamentably
empty pocket. At last a small boot
black sauntered by, and the man con-
cluded to take chances. With a fine
pretense of having just dropped the
bills, the man grufly ordered the
iyoungster to assist him. The boy COM

In a recent issue of the Temple
Magazine, Dean Farrar gives interest
ing "reminiscences of the late Lord
Tennyson, and thus tells how it hap
pened that he suggested est. Telema-
chus"t to the Laureate: Lord Tennyson,
one day when l was walking with him,
asked me to suggest to him the sub
ject of a poem. l suggested the story
of st. Telemachus, leaping down into
the am%phitheatre and by his self-de-
voted martyrdom putting an end for
ever to the hideous butcheries of the
gladiatorial games-a scene which l
have since described in my Gathering
Clouds To my surprise, he had never
heard the story and was much struck
with it. He asked me to send him,
when l returned, all the authorities
on the subject. That was easily done,
for it rests on the single authority of
the Greek ecclesiastical historian
Theodoret. I sent him the passage in
the original Greek and he clothed it
in the magnificent poem"

Such a rig is one of the more formal
notifications of the boudoir effect, and
in many wardrobes would be replaced
by such a dress as hat pictured here,
one hat is essentially an indoor dress,
but without the boudoir characters
tics. 1t was in Russian green CASH
mere, and it's draped bodice opened
over a guimpe of green silk yelled with
ecru-linen embroidery. The bodice
was alike in back and front, its draped
parts were edged with narrow frills of
the silk and a large bow of the silk
was put at the waist in front. The
tight parts of the sleeves were green
silk covered with embroidery, cut into
bells at the hands and the upper part
was finished with a small cloth puff.

MUSIC A LA GOLF,
Gives a ~eshne and Variety to
Criticism,


Criticism.
In these days, when golf is crowding
in popularity every other form Of out
door sport, it is also-in England, at
least-giving a freshness and variety
to musical criticism which will be ap-
preciated by the lay mind that is not
educated up to a knowledge of the
technical terms usually employed in
describing musical events, says an ex-
change. Here is a report taken from
a recent London paper, Of a classical
concert at St. James hall: IAN enor-
nous crowd assembled last Monday
night to witness the foursome compe-
tition over the st. James hall links.
Principally at 8 o'clock DR.. Joachim
drove off from the tee, Signor Platti
responding with a lovely low shot,
which left Mr.. Gibson within easy
reach of the green with his brassey.
Mr.. Ries fooled the second subject
and DR.. Joachim was badly bunkered,
but using his niblick on the G string
in mastery style laid his ball dead,
and the first movement was halved
amid great enthusiasm. Staring one
up at the scherzo, Signor Platti began
the second movement, and outdrove
DR.. Joachim by at least twenty bars.
Mr.. Gibson approached cleverly, and
in the trio there was nothing to choose
between the opponents, the coda icon
sordini) resulting in another half. Mr..
Gibson and Signor Platti were now
dormy, but the latter, being obliged
to play pawky round a dangerous piz-
zicato passage, lost a good deal OF
ground, as DR.. Joachim's drive and
Mr.. Ries' second were both long and

A woman who was very fastidious
about her shoes and had a craze for odd
things went down to Chinatown and in
vested in a pair of Chinese slippers.
The slippers for women were all too
small, so she had to get the mems size.
They were heavy, with wooden soles,
so she bought fleece-lined soles for
them. which kept them from hurting
her feet and made a pretty bedroom
slipper. These slippers were Of pale
blue satin, embroidered in gold and fin-
ished at the top with a dark shade Of
blue embroidered satin.
The satin slipper, with high tongue

American make. Some prefer the soft

Janeway had satisfied his ambitions as
far as it is possible for a man TO 40 It.
Fortunately for his content these as
p%irations were Of the kind that are
most often realized. He had a manu-

he was president of the state panK' an
institution known to be founded on tne
rock of sound finance; he had re n
mayor of Shewanee and was a
of the legislature. So much OF eartnly
glory had fallen to his share.
When he read the obituary of anoshe1
self-made man he always nodded MS
head sagely as much as to say: i
know how it goes; I started with
nothing myself" In fact Mr.. Jane
ways election to the legislature came
of the admiration the electors. had fer
a man of the people. When his con-
stituents hired a band and went to con-
graduate him they found him ready
with a speech He said: "Fellow-citi-
Gems, I will aot try to hide from you
my deep qualification at the result OF
the election. / wanted to be elected
l have wanted a good many things and
I've generally got them. But not with

ture. I thank you, friends, for your

amid loud applause. In another. this
speech would have provoked criticism,

made man is to praise his maker with

MI. and Mrs. Janeway had just come
from a visit to their new house, which
their architect assured them was in the
purest style of the gothic renaissance.
But they were SIRE, too, which seemed
to them of far more Importance, that
1t was the finest house in town and
quite eclipsed Mrs. Morgan's red-brick
mansion.
They were to move into it at once
and Mrs. Jaleway went about the old
house planning what should be left be-
hind, as not coming up to the artistic
standard of the new place. Come here
a minute, Madison" she called from
an obscure entry back of the dining
room.
Mr.. Janeway laid down his paper and
went to her, followed by Florry, their
youngest child. What is it, my dear?''
he asked.
Hadn't we better pack this away
the frames so shabby that it isn't fit
for the new house?" She pointed to
a faded photograph, hanging in a dark
corner. 1t was the likeness of a plain
woman, with a broad mouth and eyes
w'5ely separated; the hair was parted
drawn back from the forehead like
curtains; a watch-chain picked out
gilt encircled her neck and her lips
cheeks were touched with carmine,
giving the face a CHASTITY p~retense of
life.
Mr.. Janeway stared at it meditatlveiy.
II hadn't noticed it for a long time" he
said.
