Two elderly New York women recently
left their home in Seventeenth street and
went to London TO collect their share in a
certain O'Neil estate Of which they
claimed to be heirs. They did not find
any estate, and as their funds gave out
they were Obliged to seek assistance in
order to procure the means of getting
home again. The moral of the incident Is
that all persons going abroad for the pur-
pose of collecting inheritance should take
the prccautlon to procure return tickets.
What they are To get out of the enormous
estates locked up in the Bank of England,
in Chancery and elsewhere is not found
a secure basis for current expenditures,
and they cannot always get home on it.
1t was written from of old tina, the sim
pleton We have always with us, and so
far certainly tho breed shows no signs Of
diminution. Tales OF unclaimed estates
always summon up swarms OF them clus-
tering thick as flies around a honey pot,
and while fool Ia left to heed them,
such tales will not be wanting nor the
snug attorney knave to stand behind
them and sprinkle over them the spice Of
plausibility. IN. Y. Tribune

RECOVERED A PRECIOUS RING
Strange Restitution of a Valued
Jewel Lost in Italy.

That truth is stranger than fiction is
often demonstrated, but Miss Reba
Bryn of North Twenty first street tells
of an experience that carries off the
palm. Two years ago, while travelling
through southern Italy Miss Bryn lost
a leather satchel. There was quite a
sum of money and some valuable papers
in the satchel, but what worried her
most was the loss of her engagement
ring, which was of a very quaint de-
sign, having: been the marriage token
in the family of her fiance for several
generations. Of course every endeavor
was made to recover the lost article.
Advertisements were inserted in all the
principal papers of the province. and,
although strenuous efforts were made,
nothing was ever heard of the satchel.
A few days ago, while visiting
friend in West Philadelphia, a street
piano wheeled up before the porch ON
which they We're seated and, after
playing a few melodies, a young Italian
girl came up to collect some money.
Imagine Miss Bryn's surprise to recog-
nize her long-lost ring on the girls fin
ger. Questioning the girl in her ma
tive language brought for the fact that
her family was from the district in
which the satchel had been lost. Her
father had been a sheep raiser and
shepherd dog he owned had one day
come in with the satchel in his mouth.
Not one of the family could read, which
probably accounted for the fact that
it had never been returned. An expla-
nation of the circumstances, together
with a generous reward, restored the
ring to its rightful del
nhia Review.

Early PietY. A. ID. 1734.

The models of youthful piety whose
lives are recorded in Jonathan's book,
would be initiated with no small diff

ing appears to have been considered all
Indispensable accompaniment to jul
Venile piety. OF one child "eminently
converted between 8 and 9 years old, .

shall suddenly be destroyed, and that
without remedy" she became so ex-
ceeding solicitous about her soul that
she spent a great part of her days in
weeping and praying, and could
scarce take any rest day or night for
some time together After this she
was often full of tears and spent
her whole time either in praying, read
ing, or instructing at her needle" She
spoke little, but when she did we are
told, ''ft was usually spiritual" This
child was removed from world which
had indeed been to her a vale of tears
when she was IA years old
Another example is that of a babe
admirably affected with the things of
God when he was between 2 and 3
years old" Before he could speak
plain, he also would be crying after
God" At the same early age ''he could
not endure to be put to bed without
family duty" He would kneel down
and with great patience and delight
continue until duty was at an end
without any expression of being
weary" There is an aptness in the
frequent use of the word duty for pray
er, since the merit of that exercise
seems to have been regarded as pro-
portioned to it's length. In this respect
there does not appear to have been
such a wide difference after all, be-
tween these shining examples of youth
full piety and the heather who believe
they shall be heard for their much
speaking.

portance: viewed from without we are
only units in vast crowd, each unit
living its life and then perishing, un-
mourned and uncared for by most OF
the units around The only thing Of
interest TO the survivors is the record
of things done. The trees we plant live
after US and shelter generations that
follow; the crops we grow feed other
mouths than ours; our deeds, good or
bad, do live on; the good is not in
terred with our bones" Things done
and not merely dreamed about are the
things that make US have interest for
our fellow-creatures And these works
must be done without expectation of
full recognition. An offering of precious
service to the world is and must be
largely impersonal, for though our
deeds may be widespread our own in
dividuality is known to but few. This
is as it is with our rulers. We know
them as names only, impersonal they
remain always until We see them.

Wanted to be Postmaster.

A good story is being told about the
appointment of a Postmaster in North
eastern Ohio. 1t appears that there
were a number of aspirants for the
place, and when the announcement was
made that a German was to secure the
plum every person was anxious to be
in line and congratulate him on his
success. One of the congratulations was
a man who was noted for being blunt,
and asking questions from the shoulder,
so to speak. After the usual form had
been gone through with, he blurted out:
why, no person had any idea that
you We're a candidate, to say nothing
about expecting you to get the place.
What kind of a pull did you have?"
Il viii dell YOU said the German.
You see 1 used to go to school vid de
Congressman, and We we're chumps"
Most of the people of the town
agreed with the German, but that did
not interfere with his getting the place
and drawing a nice salary for four
years.-Columbus Dispatch.

The Appreciative Englishman.

Years and years ago, when the Press
Club of Washington, of more or less
blessed memory, was in existence, a
British newspaper man was at the club
one evening. He had been in Wash

next day During the evening Carl
Decker, who was also present, address
ing him, made the following speech:
"Mr. So-and-So," he said, you have
spent some time with us, and you have
made many friends. We have beconfe
attached to you. You are going away
tomorrow, and we may never see you
again; but in order that you may al
ways have something by which to re-
member u.s. on behalf of the Press Club
l present you this ring"
And then he struck the call-bell on
the reading table near him. The Eng
lishman looked just a trffie bewildered
for a bit; then he reached out his hand,
thanked the club, and pocketed the
bell. And, bless his simple English
heart, next morning he told another
newspaper man how kind the Press
Club had been to him, and what a
lovely presentation speech Mr.. Decker
had made
Mr.. Decker must have been awfully
