A Political Ginniirs Biblical Name
 and ScripfuraI Quotations.

Talking about elections" said the Chicago man to his friend in New York who had spoken about his winnings. ''yOu should have lived in Chicago about twenty-thTee years ago, when the men who did the fine work were in the ginmill business. There was a feI- low named Dave Thornton who helped to select aldermen, and who look a hand occasionally in putting a man on the bench.
 Dave had place in a block filled with gambling houses. The front door was closed promptly at midnight, and the side door-weIl, that was always open. It opened into the arcade, and the arcade led to the Y NJ C. A. build ing. There was a sign over the en- trance of the arcade which informed the man who read it Cf the Y NJ C. As place. And I have always thought that sign prompted Dave Thornton to have tho sign he had over his door way-'The House Of David You sec it had sort of biblical significacion, and as it was contiguous to the Y M C. A. sign it was calculated to catch the eye O. the wayfaring man, who was very numerous out there in those days.
 f'Thornton was a religious man. That is, he was regular in his attendance on the stated services, and, rain or shine, ne was Tn hJS place n the sanctuary. Over the big mirror on the bar side of tle place, ir artistic lettering, was the text:
 If the Lord keepeth no. the city, the watchman waketh in vain
 And on the mirror was another sign, suggested. at the request Of Dave. y Charley Thorne, of the old Union Square company, which played in Chi cago every season. Dave was thea ter-goar, and one day when ha and Charley ThOrne were coming from mass, Dave told Charley that he had a Bible text over his mirror and want cd Shakespearean quotation on the mirror. Charley Thorpe, always quick, replied: Thou shalt not budge till I set thee up a glass and Dave stopped and made Charley stop, and there in the shadow Of the cathedral the actor wrote .the quotation on a card which for years caused so much comment in Chicag gO."
 When Dave handed the card to a printer, who knows 3 little Shakespeare ! himself, he said to Dave: He didn't { give you ali the quotation" Dave re- piled: Charley Thorne is my friend | He gave me all that's necessary If ] there had been any more Charley would . have said so-" And the printer said no more, but did the wor!z.-New York !

A FAR-REACHING BENEVOLENCE

Tie disposition which the late Ed ward Austin of Massachusetts made of more than $1,000.009 cf his wealth by testament is a noble crown Of the large benefactions which hc made fer similar purposes in the course of his long life. His bequesSs for the purpose of aiding ''reedy, meritcr:ous students and teach CTS in securing an education amount Q 2 sum which in its distribution will accomplish an inconceivable good.
 The investment Of the $500 600 left for this purpose to Harvard college and the $400, coo to the Massachusetts insti- tute of Technology may be expected to produce $45,0 900 annually. Here is suffi- cient to help a. least 100 young men and women through their courses in these institutions. And it is a peren- nial aid. The effect Of this benefactiOn Is continuing. giving each year to 100 meritori0us students the assis-a -ance needed to enable them to pursue their studies. What a power for gOOdt It is not simply 3 kindly charity fer in dividuals; it's influence upon the com mpnity is incalculabls.
