STORY OF ARTHUR AND BLAINE
They Were Long on Greenbacks and
Short on Change.

There is a good story of the presiden-
tial excursion down to the eastern shore
of Maryland. The party embraced Sec
retaries Blaine and Window and others.
They were fortunate enough to hear an
excellent sermon from the venerable
Protestant Episcopal bishop of Mary
land. who was there to administer the
and the two secretaries sat in quiet salts
faction. But their peace Of mind was
suddenly dispelled The offertory was
sung. At the familiar words, LET your
light so shine before men," ETC., the
President ard the secretaries each quiet
" dropped a hand into a pocket.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures
on earth
Window drew forth a crisp 81 note
and held it between his thumb and fore
finger. ready for the approa ching plate.
The President and Mr. Blaine went a
brought up a nickel and the other dime.
Their faces flushed. 1t would never do
to make such a contribution
He that soweth little shall reap little,
and he that soweth plenteously shall reap
plenteously God loveth cheerful
giver."
The President went to his pocketbook,
and the secretary of state explored his
vest pocket with nervous fingers.
''ZaccheuS stood forth and said unto
the Lord: Behold. Lord, the half of my
goods | give to the poor, and if | have
done wrong to any man / restore four
fold
The plate was only four pews away.
What the President found in his pocket
book was one $50 note and a SO green
back-nothing smaller. What Mr. Blaine
found was two SO notes-nothing small
er. To put in a nickel or dime only
was not to be thought of. To give SO
was more than either cared to do. Each
looked at Window sitting there calmly
with his dollar note in hand. He shook
his head.
Charge them that are rich il this
world that they be ready to give and glad
to distribute
There was no time for further pocket
exploration or consideration. With a
smile of commiseration at each other
and something like glee on Window

secretary of state each planked down his

one of the party afterward. that the
Lord would probably give them credit
only for the dollar or two which they in
tended to give.-Philadelphia Inquirer
