A VICARIOUS PENANCE.
Twenty Generations of One Family
Have Borne n Cross In SeviIIe's
Holy Week Procession.

The self-imposed penance of the ia
theirs in Seville would seem, even as
the weight of their sins, to be visited
upon their children unto the last gen
GRAFTON of their seed. At least, it is
true that the staggering youth before
us is the twentieth of his name and
line who has done vicarious penance
for the sins of his forefather, a celeb
rity of the sixteenth century, who
looked ION beauty charming" with
the eyes of Don Juan Tenodio. He was
finally captured, the legend relates,
by Barbary corsair, and carried a
prisoner to Oran, where, manacled
and chained, he spent many a long
and weary day wishing that he were
dead. But while he pinned hopelessly
in prison he made a solemn VOW that,
should he ever regain his liberty, he
would walk barefooted, and humbly
bearing his cross, behind the Christ of
the Great Power in every madrugada,
or morning professions and, further,
he vowed that he would make the an
nual accomplishment of this VOW a
charge upon his estate for all time, by
providing that, should any one of his
male descendants fail in it's perform
ance, his portion of the estate should
go to enrich the foundation of a CON
vent.
There have been no defaulters
among the old gallant's heirs, and
though the present bearer of the
proud name is perfumed and scented
polio, dude of Seville society, he too
did not shrink from the sacrifice neces-
sary to keeping the money in the fam
lily. And | regret to say that, as he
came meekly along in this strange
gulse, his appearance excited much
amusement among the other pollos.
whose Inheritance had come to them
without so unpleasant a condition.;
and at the sight of his bruised and
bleeding feet much money was wag-
cred on the question of whether he
would be able to lead the cotillon at
the duke of Alba on Easter Monday.
But perhaps the strangest of all the
array of silent maskers who followed
the Christ of the Great Power was a
little girl of some IL summers. clothed
in her communion robes, weird and
ghostly apparel for this the dark hour
before the dawn. Her eyes were blind
folded, and, unlike the hoods of the
Nazarenes, there was not left the
smallest aperture through which she
might look to choose and pick her way
She carried a golden chalice in one
hand, While with the other she groped
and felt her way. Every now and then,
misled by the deceiving echo of the
music, she would turn out of the way,
now to the right, and now to the left.
Once she stumbled and fell, and when
she rose, in her confusion. started to
walk back the way she had come; but
the Nazarenes caught her by the hand,
and directed her on her way again
The little girl in the white communion
dress symbolized that faith which is
blind.-Stephen BousaI, in Century.

Manila has been taken before. The
English did the Job over century ago,
and pretty tough task they had. The
ieet numbered IA ships; they were all
heavily armed, and the moment they
entered the bay they got to work. So
did the typhoon. Covered by the frig-
ates guns, detachment of artillery
and marines made for the shore. But
the guns could not protect them from
the waves. The surf took them. tossed
them, churned them, and, while the
shells shrieked over them, pitched
them against each other. 1t was zeal
Armada weather, but this time on the
side of Spain. How the troops landed
only an eyewitness could state, vet
land they did. Meanwhile the storm
increased. The whole coast was abroil
The frigates had the palsy. They
danced like epileptics. But over the
boom of the waters was the boom of
the guns. Through those waters an
other detachment was sent, a second,
a third Spaniards, natives, the ele-
ments even Joined to repulse them.
Yet still the guns persisted. In the
bastion breech was made. Through
the crumbled walls the English poured,
and presently Manila had fallen. 1t is
related that the Spaniards fought like
fiends, that many of them refused
quarter, and that rather than surren-
der 300 of them drowned themselves in
the sea. The ransom which Manila
PAID was S4,000.000. That was dirt
cheap and would be tripled to-day

HIS SHIRT SHOCKED THEM.
Why the Hotel Paramount Lost Its
UprOariOusIy AppnreIed Aris-
tOcratic Head Waiter.

There is a new head waiter at the
Hotel Paramount, owing to succession
of sensations that marked the career
of the first head waiter of the season.
The first head waiter of the season in
summer hotel is usually bird
Fairmount's first head waiter was em7
ployed without investigation of his an
tecedents on account of haste. He
looked all right, Mrs Mills, the man
ager, thought, being tall, smoothly
shaver, and having his blueblack hair
well plastered down over his brow.
Imagine the SILVER of distress among
the guests in the beautiful dining-room
when the new head-waiter appeared in
low-cut waistcoat and swallow tail, re-
vealing broad expense of red barred
shirt bosom.
1t was one of those shirts crossed by
broad red bars sinister, a fashionable
innovation of years ago credited to the
prince of Wales and subsequently worn
by prize fighters
Mrs. Mills discovered several pale
guests hastily leaving the dining-room.
what is the matter?" she asked,
isn't the dinner right?"
They threw up their hands in silent
horror.
When spoken to the new head waiter
was not amenabIe to reproof. He in
sisted haughtily that his costume was
absolutely correct and similar to the
taste of the prince of Wales. 1t was
only by the most supreme exercise of
authority that the tanning of the shirt
was accomplished.
Next to shock the sensibilities of the
jewellers in Paramount was the head
walters development of a peculiar
dance step as he moved about the dim
ing-room, which the guests termed
doing the goose foot" His entree re-
sembled, in a modified way, the deft
stage entrance of Fritz, the eminent
yodeler. Again it was necessary to
take vigorous measures.
Meanwhile the head waiter did not
grow humble. Instead he assumed the
air of purseproud guest and picked
for himself the best room in the house.
One day he failed to be present to look
after the serving of breakfast. Just as
1t was under consideration whether or
not his absence should be condoned the
indicator recorded an imperious call
from his room. Everybody waited
breathlessly to learn what new horror
awaited the Hotel Paramount.
He wants his breakfast served in
the room" was the report; land he
wants chops, toast and coffee, with
plenty of cream!"
This was too much. and Mrs Mills
advertised for another head waiter The
head waiter departed proudly. When
half way down the long promenade he
turned and Kissed through his clenched
teeth:
Goldfish aristocracy!"
1t is now believed that the head wait
er was no waiter at all, but a broken
down song and dance artist out of
job.-Kansas City Star.

responsible for the reduction in the
