THE CAKE OF CHARITY"
By Charles BatteIl LOOMS.
Copyright, 1890, by Charles Battel Looms.

Harry, the boy who sometime before
had had an experience with ESCAPED
wolves, was in the habit of taking long
walks by himself in order u acqGaint
himself with his native city, New York.
Country boys generally know all the
points of interest for miles around their
homes, but city children often grow
up without knowing much about their
town beyond the few blocks that lie
in their neighborhood This is certain
" to be regretted i'll Il city like New
York, which is full of the most inter
esting localities But Harry. thanks to
the protection of the lion who so often
accompanied him, knew New York from
the Battery up to the Harlem River.
One day he was out walking on Fifth
avenue, which as you all know, is the
most famous street of residences in
America There are few shops on UP
per Fifth avenue, and so when Harry
passed a bakery at the corner Of Six
ty-first street, he was much surprised
and turned back. He had passed the
never noticed it. He happened to have
some spending money in his pocket and
he went into the store.
What sort of cakes have you, if You
please?" Those of you who have read
the other stories will remember that
Harry was extremely courteous. He al
ways took off his cap when he met an
acquaintance ON the street, and he often
took it off in the house without being
asked to by his mother and if you have
any younger brothers you will appre-
ciate that statement.

woman behind the counter. She had
fiaxen hair and pink cheeks and blue
eyes, and Harry thought she looked like
a doll come to life. The counter was
heaped with all sorts of strange looking
cakes of pretty shapes and colors, and
all of them We're covered with frosting.
Cake without frosting is much worse
than an egg without salt, and this
young woman knew it.
Il have charity cake, malice cake,
good nature tarts, and so forth.
Harry thought the names very anus
ing and he bought two of each kind
of cake mentioned.
Are they wholesome!" said he, which
was funny question for a live boy
to ask.

wrapped them up in a sheet of pink
paper with beautiful fairy story on one
side of it. IF you're stingy the chart
ty cake will make you generous. If
you're cross the good nature cake will
make you pleasant. but the malice cake
is not good for children, and if you
like I'll buy it back Ill give you five
cents a cake for it.
As Harry had paid but a cent apiece
for the oakes, he was only too glad to
sell the malice cake at a profit of four
cents. Boys sometimes develop the
trading instinct very readily.
After he had sold the cake he bought

glowed with sweetness. "To think that
1 never realized what I could do with
my money before" said he. This is
better than making soap or selling it,
for it will be making happiness-by

to Harry.

to say his eyes glistened, although he
was anything but a cry-baby.
Then Harry developed new power.
lie found he could tell at glance
who deserved help and who did not.
All the evening they drove from house
to house and Harry distributed the mon
CIV until the last bag was emptied and
the last woman had muTmured her
thanks.
And if they had done nothing else,
the spectacle Of the beautiful horses and
the gorgeous coach would have been a
good one for the poor people, who sell
dom saw anything finer than a junk
wagon in the way Of an equipage
The beautiful thing about the cake
was that its effect never wore off. The

and Harry rode around New York night
after night until there was not wor-
thy poor person in the city who had
not been helped. But l think that If
the old man had given them all tick
cts to the country and small piece
of ground when they got there he would
have done better yet.
One day | met Harry and asked him
why he didn't try to get a piece of cake
that would make it impossible for peo-
pie to be poor and miserable, and he
Immediately ran off to the bakery to
try and find some. But there was no

chance to get such a cake he had lost

moved somewhere else, but l think she
had given up business. No one can
buy at heavy loss and be successful

tune up from one cake, which he made
and sold when he was boy, and be
liked to think that it was the best soap
ever sold. Well, Of course, you know
that all soaps are the best. If you
don't believe it read the pretty adj
vertisements in the magazines.
Harry had a very engaging manner,
and when tie great man stepped out
Of his coach he walked mp to him and.
Removing his cap, he said in tone Of
seqvility: s'Mr. , have always
used your soap, and that is why / am
such a clean little boy. Which was
the TRUTH Please take a bit of ny
cake, Which is the Onlv way Of showing
how much l like your cakes of soap"
The millionaire was t'ck!cd. The boy
had not asked him to give, but to take,
and that is always an easy thing to
do-for some people. The cakes locked
so pretty and so fresh that he broke of
large piece from each one. First
he ate the good nature cake, and he
had no sooner done so than his face
beamed with sweetness and he patted
Harry ON the head and said: My lit
tie man, you are a good fellow to be
so thoughtful. | never ate such de-
icious cake. If you will bring me some
more tomorrow ] will buy it of you
provided you sell it at the wholesale
price. Then he took bite of the char
ity cake and in an instant he smote his
forehead and said: Mercy me. what
suffering there is in this city. Bring me
my bags of gold, and you, boy, jump in
with me and we will visit the poor and
do what we can to relieve them.
Harry was overjoyed. He Jumped
into the coach. The servants, who We're
too astonished to speak, hurried out
with bags of gold until the floor and the
front seat were piled up with them.
Then the millionaire told the coach
man to 90 where Harry wished, and
as the boy was familiar with the quar-
ter of the city where aims We're most
needed, they were soon speeding down
town.

to look ut him and wink. but he was
suffering too much to care to see his
playfelow So Harry handed him one
Of the good cakes and the lion ate and
in a moment he had forgotten his tooth
ache and was chasing his tail around
the cage.
Harry was pleased 10 sec how the
cake worked and Went into the ele-
plant house where he found one of the
elephants eating up whole peanut
without offering any to the other Gle
plants. He spoke TO him and the ele-
plant looked ashamed, but went on
crunching his peanut. So Harry gave
him a piece of the charity cake and
another peanut which he had picked off
the ground IF Central Park were TO
be deserted ten years by people, birds
and beasts when they returned to it
they would find whore the mcnagerie
and bear caves and bird houses had
been. lofty peanut trees would be wav-
ing their beautiful green limbs. Don't
tell me that peanuts don't grow on trees,
for | know better. If ehestnuts grow
on chestnut trees and walnuts on wal
nut trees, of course 1t is reasonable 70
suppose that peanuts grow on peanut
trees.
As soon as the elephant had eaten the
cake he broke open the peanut and
politely offered half of it to his com
ranion beast. And the latter grail bed
it without so much as a thank You.
Harry had NOW learned all he wanted
to know about the properties of the
cakes. He was little sorry that he
hadn't kept malice cake that he might
have given a piece to one of the gentle
deer. He was sure that it would have

Harry was just going to ask her why
she baked them then when he realized
that they would so on talking all day
long If he did not stop, so he walked
out of the shop with his cakes, after
bowling gfaciously to the girl.
He had read 'sAlice in Wonderland, 4
that treasure book for all bright chill
dren, and so he thought it was best
not to eat any Of the cakes himself. He
would try them on the animals in the
Park instead.
The menagerie is only short dis
lance from SiXty-first street, and Harry
soon found himself in front of his lions
cage. But the big beast had the tooth
ache, and he was so out of sorts that
he was lashing his tail and growing in
a way to inspire awe. Harry went over
to him and spoke in low tone and the

to make the servants drive them
off For, although he was very
mean to others, he denied himself
nothing that money could buy, and he
had servants for his servants, so that
his servants would have nothing to do
but wait on him. or course Harry new
er played on his balconies because he
lived in a fiat and had a fire escape of
his own to play ON, but he did think it
hard that the poor little ragamuffins that
sometimes sweep down on Fifth avenue
from the side streets could not have a
little innocent fun if they wanted to.
Harry wanted to give the old man
some of the cake, but how to make him
eat it he did not know.
That afternoon he waited near the
palace of the rich man until his coach

had made his money selling soap and

President of the United States. He
had an opalescent coach drawn by
cream colored horses and there was
nothing on Fifth avenue that could APP

At precisely six O'clock the rich man
drove up to his palace and three serv-
ants in livery dropped from the coach
to open the door. Then ten more came
from inside the palace with a silken
awning upheld ON golden poles, which
they held aloft so that the great man
would not get sun-struck ON his way
into the house.
Now Harry had heard that the only
way to the old mans consideration was

his soap himself and had built his for

The reception accorde d the soldiers

Thousands upon thousands of people

all through the business section of the
city.
Three heavy batteries, one light battery

the Nebraska regiment, and then came

Senator Jones' Health.

New York, Aug. "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Senator
Jones of Arkansas wished to return home
from Europe as early as September 10,
bat his physician laid on him the injunc-
ton not to leave there before October 1.
The senator writes to a friend in this city
tnat he feels as we'll as at any time in 20
years, and has not the slightest premoni-
ton of another attack Of the heart dis
ease from which he suffered. 1t is learned
from a friend of the senator that he is not
ambitious to hold the Craftsmanship of
the executive committee Of his party, but
that it was not deemed wise to resign at
this time and invite a scramble for the
place. Hence, without quoting Senator
Jones himself. he says the senator will re-
sign the leadership of the democratic
committee by the time the national con-
vent.on meets. so as to give an apportun-
ity for the choice of another chairman.

Washington, Aug 3.-The Marine hos
pital officials at Hampton have succeed
ed in tracing and locating former in
mate of the soldiers home who is be-
lieved to have brought the yellow fever
to that place. His name is William
Thomas. He arrived at the home on a
transport from Santiago, where he had
been visiting from July to last. He
was admitted to the home as a veteran
and soon after developed chills and
fever. In the light of subsequent events
experts believe there is little doubt he
was affected with mild case Of yellow
fever, although it was not diagnosed as
such at the time. When well enough to
travel he left the home and his baggage
was sent to Phoebus. The man himself
went to Columbus City, Wash, where
he now is. Surgeon General Wyman re-
CARDS it as fortunate that Thomas went
to such high altitude, as it greatly
lessons the danger of infection.

Must Have Free Press.

New York, Aug. "a special to the
Times from Washington says: General
Carlos Garcia says today he considers
the suppression of the Havana Recon-
centrado to be a serious mistake.
'It was the Spanish custom to arrest
editors and suppress the paper for dar-
ing to criticize Spanish methods, and it
would seem from General Ludlow's ac-
ton that he is pursuing the Spanish pol
icy which has been justly denounced in
the United States. Besides this act on
the part of the military authorities will
be construed by many Spaniards that the
civil authorities are mere figureheads
and will no doubt produce bad feeling.
The civil laws in Cuba are able to punish
people who commit libel. I admit l do
not know all the facts, but l do know
that to be consistent General Ludlow
will have to suppress other Cuban pa
pers that nave criticized General
Brooke's appointees. l know General
Ludlow and admire him, and I take it
that he has been imposed on. What
would the people of the United States
say if the authorities should suppress a
newspaper for abusing, justly or unjust
~, the administration? There can be
no independence or personal liberty with
out free speech and a free press
