IIatayette's Courtesy.
Ladies Home Journal.

The visit of Lafayette to America, AS the Nations guest, is graphically re- called, in the A priI Ladies' Home Jour nal, by Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes of When Lafayette Rode into Philadelphia" one of notable series of articles on Great Personal Events. '' The welcome given Laatyette i'll Phil adelphia is said to have exceeded in it's waimth and enthusiasm that extended to the distinguished visitor in any other city. In connection with his riding into Philadelphia, the central figure of resplendent pageant. an in
 terestering incident is thus recalled: "Lafayette's barouche was passing, on Eleventh Street, the house where dwelt tue widow of Robert Morris, financier of the ReYo utIon, sister of the rever- ed Bishop White. Mrs. Morris was at
 her window, and, recognizing her after many years. Lafayette rose up in his carriage and bowed to her. The rare courtsey was instantly discerned by the thousands congregated at this point, and it seemed as if the people would go mad with enthusiasm. The recognition of Mrs. Morris seemed to set them ahame. Even Lafayette appeared sur prised that the simple act should evoke such wave of frantic huzzas. Shout after shout rent the air; women wed with men in their efforts to show to La- fayette that bis graceful act touched them. So great was the furore that the hero had to rise again and again in his carriage, Snd it was SC verdi minutes before the wonderful enthusiasm had abated, But If the applause subsided at the special point where it had been
 waited into flame, it was rekindled
 again and again, and carried along the
 entire route of the march. By simple act he had aroused the people, and the fruits of 1t remained with him all through his visit in the Quaker City"

Five thousand copies of this report will be printed at government expense. Twen- ty thousand more should be secured and distributed at territorial expense.

FATHER BOLLES.

Youths Comnsn;on

Youths Companion The Inherent preacher was one of the features of our early American life Many anecdotes are told of these stern old gospelers who travelled on foot or on horseback many miles yearly from one scattered flock to another in the wilderness, giving personal counsel and preaching "godliness of life." One of the most noted of these rough but earnest men was Alexander Bolles, who preached in three States among the Alleghany Mountains. Father Bolles," as be was called, wss much tormented by the influence of one John Rogers, a Jerseyman. who openly taught atheism and the abolishment ofmarriage. On one occasion while hold ing a meeting in the woods in Virginia, young man and woman pushed their way up to the stump which served as 8 pulpit. The man interrupting the ser mon, said defantly. "I'd like you to know that we are Rogerines."
 The old man looked at him over his spectacIes, and waited.

 "No? And tben-2'
 "Nor in marriage. This is my wife be- cause choose her to be: but I'll have no preacher nor squire meddlin' with us."
 Do you mean to tell me-" thundered Father Bclles, "that you have taken this girl home as your wife?"
 "Yes, do,'' said the fellow deggedly.
 "And have you gone willingly to live with him as your husband?"
 "Yes." said the frightened girl.
 "Then I pronounce you man and wife, and whom God hath joined together let not man put asunder. Be off with you. You are married now according to the law and the gospel"

The Star is pleased to learn that from the date Of Judge Hawkins installation ss 6 member of the jgdic- ary of Arizona not one complaint has been made on account 0f delay in the trial Of any case in any court of his district. Neither has there been one breath of suspicion touching his integ- rity as a judge ar citizen or want of ju- diclal ability, but the legal fraternity of Arizona without exception and with common consent accord him the dis rinetion of bring the most acceptable justice who has ever Lonored the judici- ary of Arizona.

Review of Reviews l

]
 Every President. therefore, in mak- ing up his Cabinet is confronted by the fact that leading Senators usually cling to their senatorial seats; while 1t some times happens also that members of the other House prefer Congressional life. The very fact, however. that pub Lie life affords an uncertain career Tn the United States, has given us all un- commonly large contingent of fairly qualified men now in priv .te life, who are capable on short notice of assuming public responsibilities. Furthermore, We have our forty-fve state governm- ent giving opportunity for training in legislative work, and in public admin lstTatlnn; so that the number of men who have in some capacity demonstrat- ed their fitness for important pubic work, is vastly greater than the num- Der that one finds Tn England.
 The English system provides lifelong careers for comparatively small num- Der Of men, who may become very high ly accomplished in their respective | fields Of statesmenship. That system makes it practically certain that giv- en set of men will hold executive office, whenever their party IS iH power. Thus assuming that the present Salisbury regime should hold on for some time longer, should then be replaced by Literal government. the merest nov ice might now safely write down the names of eight or ten men who would certainly be members ofthe next Liber- al Cabinet, and twenty or thirty names ot men who would at least belong to the Ministry. If the Democrats, how ever, should come into power in the United States four years hence, no ore would be so rash to day as to suppose that he could inteiligently predict a single member Of the next Democratic Cabinet. No men, under our system, have vested rights, so to speak, to Cab inet seat If MT. Allison or Mir. Reed had secured the St. Louis nomination. either of them would lave composed an excellent Republican Cabinet wholly different from MT. McKinIey'sexceIlent Republican Cabinet. Mir. Gladstene's Cabinet of 1892 was composed mainly of members ofMr. Gladstone's Cabinet which had gone out of office d full six years previous. Lord Salisbury's pres- ent Cabinet includes many men who were his ministerial colleagues more than ten years ago, the most import ant changes being due to the receut

 If you have bathing for food there is no uss of forcing it down, for it will not be digested. You must restore the digestive organs to their natural strength andcause the food to be dig ested, when an appetite will come, and with it a relish for food.

His First Story.

A certain author, now we'll known to
fame and fortune, once in the ssbattle
for bread,' wrote wild Indian story
for northern story paper. That was IL
years ago, and to the story he gave his
real name. He received a fat check for
it, but year after year went by and--the
story never appeared. 1t finally passed
from his remembrance, until the other
day, when be received letter from the
publishers informing him that it would
shortly put in az appearance in serial
form. That made the author nervous,
and he forthwith sent the following tel
egram:
Suppress story and return manu-
script and will pay three times amount
of original check. -
The publishers replied:
Cant do it. We know good thing
when we have it. The story is i'll your
best vein.''
Letter after letter, telegram after tele-
gram passed, but no, he didn't have
money enough to buy that story. So he
has written to ali his friends and critics
and has explained the circumstances
and now awaits as cheerfully as possible

Awful Experience of Chicago Man In q

1.-The most disagreeable experience il

cago, twas when I awakened in the
middle of the night in a Missouri hotel
and heard chain clank in my room.
don't know whether it is the association
of a clanking chain that makes the
sound SO dismal OF the mere fact of be-
ing awakened by noise that shows the
presence of something living, but
don't know of more unpleasant awak-
ening.
I sat up in bed, but could see moth
ing, for the room was as dark as a pock-
ct, and my heart thumped with suspense
as l heard that weird clank, clank,
clank, accompanied by a strange shut
fling noise that was quite as mysterious
and battling. Preached under my pillow
and drew out N.Y.
"Revolver?" suggested the man who
finishes everybody's sentences.
Nav, my whisky flask. I took
pull that would have made my wife
give me a temperance lecture if she
could have seen me-
"And what became of it?'
"The whisky"
mo, no, the clanking ghost.''
"Well, I fell off to sleep after awhile,
and when l got up in the morning and
investigated, found out what it was. +"
"a maniac?''
No; was the only maniac. Ii was
curled up under my bed. chain and all,
and 1t turned out to be pet coon that
the hotel people owned and which had
escaped from its quarters and found its
way to my room. But wouldn t put in
another night like that for a farm ard
