Promised He Wouldn't.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale, in his
book, James Russell Lowell and His
Friends tells story which illus
trates the seriousness of the offense of
writing poetry, in the opinion Of some
practical people.
During the last year Of LowelTs
course at Harvard, his father, DR.. Low
ell. spent most of his time in Rome.
Young Lowell was, in the summer of
his graduation, ''rusticated,' or sent off
to Concord in sort of studious Danish
ment,' under a preceptor, as a punish
ment for persistently failing to attend
morning prayers at the chapel. This
fact caused great CONSERVATION among
his classmates, for he had been select
ed as class poet. and the rustication for
babe his presence in Cambridge until
commencement week.
About this time certain Cambridge
citizen went abroad, and visited Rome,
where he called on DR.. Lowell, and
gave him all the Cambridge news. He
went on thus with some of the items:
The parts for commencement have
been assigned. Rufus Ellis is the first
scholar, and is to have the grafton"
DR.. Lowell expressed interest.
Your son James has been rusticated,
and will not return to college until COM
mencement week"
The father expressed no particular
interest in this sad news. 1t evidently
gave him no distress.
1sR;1t tho class ha yp chosen him their
class poet"
"Oh, dearr' DIR. Lowell broke out,
despairingly. James promised me he
would quit writing poetry and go to
work.

The Thief.Trackers.

Another curious profession among
the Bedouin is that of the 'thief-track-
ers." Being without paddocks or sta
bles, and their animals always more or
less at liberty, theft of stock would ap-
pear to be an easy and frequent mat
ter. Each tribe, however has it's lit
tie company of crackers" and it would
be either bold or an ignorant man in
deed who ventured to interfere with an
Arabs livestock. | have heard of one
instance in which camel stolen from
a camp near Ismailia was, after weeks
of labor, successfully tracked to the
Soudan, where the beast was recaptur-
ed and summary vengeance wreaked
upon the robbers. Selected for natural
ability, and trained from boyhood to
discriminate between each animals
footprint, this faculty becomes so high
ly developed that a particular horses
or camePs trail is unerringly picked up
from among the thousands Of impress
sions on the dusty MISUNDERSTANDING.

Cured the night before, peace reigned SUI
preme. Crowds gathered, but beyond a
few catcalls and jeers order prevailed. A
big force of policemen lined Second ave-
nue. from end to end, and this had ten
dency to awe the crowds. In Brooklyn
also the night was a quiet one. Daylight
revealed the fact that the usual wire
cutting had occurred, but the damage was
quickly repaired.
The labor men are beginning to fight
among themselves. Mortimer O'Connell
of the Phoenix Association of Railroad
Men looked into the strike in Manhattan
and declared there was no strike on. He
said the Knights of Labor ought to be
ashamed to have John n. Parsons at
their head. Parsons had only small
body of men organized, he declared, and
he said they should have known better
than to attempt to strike under these cir
cumStanceS.

He Flagged the Moon.

"Say, you want to hear this story"
said the Reading Railroad conductor.
Its a good one on Joe Gibson, one Of
our fellows. Joe's a good deal Of a
kidder himself, but the boys are having
their turn at him now. 1t happened
UP in the Trenton yards a few nights
ago. Joe's train was to be sidetracked
at Nice avenue. Well, when the train
arrived at that point Joe jumped off
and ran ahead to the switch. He threw
the switch over, and waved his lantern
to the engineer to come ahead. The
next minute Joe happened to glance
due east down the track, and he nearly
dropped his lantern with fright. There
was the great round headlight of an
other engine beaming down upon him
on the very track his train was about
to take. Recovering himself, he swung
his lantern furiously, at the same time
shouting: Pull out, pull out! What's
the matter?' he shouted. Joe had gath
cred some new knowledge in the mean
time, and his expression changed COM
pletely. He didn't say anything, but
simply gave the signal to go ahead.
When the engineer pulled into the
track he saw the full moon climbing up
over the track dead ahead of him&Joe
had simply tagged the moon, that's
all. "-Philadelphia Record.

ARBITRATION PLAN is SETTLED

American Delegates Lead in Work of
Peace Conference.
The arbitration committee of the peace
conference at The Hague had a long sit
ting Thursday, at which the proposals
submitted to the committee were read for
the second time. All the points were set
tied in a most satisfactory manner. The
favorable decision regarding the revision
of arbitral judgments is considered the
most important result of the whole con-
ference. 1t is generally recognized that
the American delegates have been most
prominent in the successful conclusion.
The laws of war committee again dis
cussed the question of the use of expand
ing bullets and bombs containing suffo-
eating gases. The president urged una
nimity on the question. Captain Mahan
of the American delegation opposed the
Introduction of expanding bullets and nox-
ious gases, declaring that the American
views on the subject were not changed.
Sir Julian Pauncefote on behalf of Eng,
land, supported Captain Mahan.

showing made at the conference this year
was little less than marvellous. The or
ganization was given birth at confer
ence of young Methodists held in Cleye-
land in 1889. Before the Cleveland ses-
sion numerous societies existed in the
Methodist Church North, and it was at
this conference that a majority of them
united and started the big organization.
The Methodist Church South also entered
the new movement with enthusiasm, and
at Memphis in 1890 organized the first
branch. More than $4,000 local chapters
have been organized and the aggregate
membership now approaches the 2.OOO,-
600 mark.
At night Englishs Opera House was
added to the number of meeting places,
and at three big demonstrations the topic
OF intellectual Life" was discussed by
number of well-known speakers.
While speeehe. and song occupied the
three days sessions, so far as the mass Of
the delegates is concerned, business of an
oortant character received attention at
he hands of the board of control.
