A Dream Rudely Broken.

She was remarkably pretty little
girl of about ten years and when the
big policeman lifted her onto the cable
car. at broadway and Thirty fourth
street. there were several glances of
admiration east at the chic little
hgure in red. Sitting down demurelv
between a dapper young man and a
Facp girl with day off she began to
unite the strap that held her school
books The old gentlemen opposite
looked W from his paper and forgot
to look Lack again. Her deep baby
eyes and brown curis, with the little
lace that bore such a childishiy happy
expression. held his attention. The
little girl glanced across and noticing
his apprec' ..ive gaze, smiled VERY
prettily. TIE old gentleman smiled in
return. HIS face wac ruddy and

Age Of az Oyster.

oyster by looking at its shell as it is Ia
ascertain ghe age of horse by eN-
aiming his teeth. ora tree by inspecting
the circles revealed by the AK or saw
when it is laid low. says Pearson s
Weekly. When the oyster is six
months old It is as big as d sixpenca.
when one year o!d it will cover a two
shilling piece. and when two years old
will be about the circumference of a
four-shiIing piece.
The oyster. unlike the crab, is not
obliged to seek new quarters or build a
new house every time he grows appre-
ciable. The extensions that he puts
onto his house are clearly marked by
a Well-defined ridge.
oysters are esteemed to be at their
best when between four and five years
of age. and planters endeavor to pro-
tect the beds for that length of tins.
Conscientious oystermen-that is, men
who are not inclined to kill the goose
that lays the golden egg-always re-
turn to the bed oysters that are too

seemed to afford him a surprising
amount of satisfaction. He gravely
handed over the sheets one hy one.

The girl who worked in the depart

Phases of Our National Life.

The Rockefeller family were rather con
spicuous in yesterdays news. William G.
Rockefeller was called as a grand juryman,
William Rockefeller thought that his taxes
were too high and went into court about
At, and John ID. Rockefeller has been try
ing TO investigate the management of a
church.
These three incidents are curiously
enough, typical each Of a certain phase of
our civilization at the present stage of IT'S
growth. Here is one of the magnates of
the Standard Oil Company. which handles
more money and possesses more actual
power than most Continental princes. a
man whose income is more than that of
many nobleman with a pedigree thous-
and years old. and we see this man drawn
on jury, Just like any other citizen, and
accepting from the city of New York the
munificent sum Of twelve dollars per week.
When his business as a juryman is over
he goes back TO his office and becomes once
more commercial monarch. If that grand
Jury should happen to indict the Standard
Oil Company for any of its transactions
Mr.. Rockefeller would have the novel priv
ilege of passing on the legality of his own
scts.
In any country where there is an Estab-
lished Church its members do not inVesti-
gate the conduct of church officials to see
what they have done with the funds. That
Is what Mr. John ID. Rockefeller is engaged
In doing. The Baptist Tabernacle in New
York had a lease on its church site that
was TO run for one hundred years AMI
surrendered the lease to the Fifth Avenue
Church on condition that Mr.. Rockefeller
build a new church for the Tabernacle con-
gregation and give them block of stock in
tie Northern Pacific Railroad. The Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church was made trustee
Of the stock and it is said that il stopped
handing over the dividends. and the Tab
ernacIe sued.
Mr.. Rockefeller wishes to compel the
Tabernacle to produce it's books TO show
whether it spent the dividends received
,ccording to conditions. The Tabernacle
lawyer says that this is absurd and that
Mr. Rockefeller wishes TO get at the books
20 make out a case against his opponents
In advance. He points out the fact that
the whole legal machinery of the State of
Ohio could not make the oil company pro-
duce its books, and he inquiries with some
reason IL Mr.. Rockefeller expects others TO
90 what he was unwilling to DO himself
The third Rockefeller is engaged in
transaction which has, unhappily, become
quite common in recent years. In one of
