FRIENDLY JOSS.

The world blushes pink some sea-

SONS. 1t is in February and that in
the part of the world that Sum Sees
mother came from.
Therefore, when little Miss Sum See
was born they called her Almond Bios
som, with true Chinese symbolism.
The fact that she was born in Pell
street, New York City, was nothing
against her name. Only she never
would remind you of an almond bios
som. Rather of a yellow crocus, or,
say, a Black Eyed Susan.
When Sum See was years old she
lost her mother, and they took her
away where Sum See could not follow.
That was how she came to ask Hip
Sing how TO reach her.
"Hush!" said Hip Sing, bending over
his shoe mending, that is not for you
to ask. She has sped away to the
Land of Silver Shadows, Perpetual
Sunbeams. and where it overfows with
tea,"
This sounded beneficent, but was un-
satisfactory from a Typographical
point of view.
Have they taken her to the joss
house?' asked Sum See quietly.
We'll, not exactly" answered Hip
Sing, but there sits he who knows"
Sum had staid late to talk to the
man who soles shoes, and she looked
at him reflectively under her thread
like brows.
"Yes?" she said, calmly.
Sum See folded her small, tea-col-
ored claws and leaned against the wall
OF the house. The two queues, braid
ed fantastically with blue and white

her little round head in an inquiring
state of mind.
Where the shadows are of pink and
the darkness is of silver has your
mother gone-peace to her," said Hip,
dismissing the subject.

did you not see the red chariot and
hear the screaming Of the flutes?"
Sum See got up quietly and ran away
when she had asked all she could
about her mother, and in the morning
she went to the josshouse alone with
an offering Of two grimy little wooden
birds and a dish of papier mache
ducks that See had brought her one
day.
She climbed the dusty stairs labori-
ously, and the door was open into
the main room of the josshouse (Which
is the Chinese temple) and she en-
tered undismayed to consult the man
who presides there.
She found him in, seated upon his
cross legs and smiling kindly ct her.
How do you do?" said Sum See in
English.
The joss smiled harder than ever,
which was natural. as he was made

SENATOR CLARk'S PALACE.

Bride.

Senator Clark of Montana Is making
preparations to erect in New York city
the finest private residence in the
world. He has purchased the property
adjoining his present residence at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Seventy
seventh street, which will give him
room for large mansion. Architects
are now at work perfecting the plans,
winch provide for a picture gallery
and statuary hall two stories in height
surrounded by an imposing dome. This
opens into a state dining room in such
Il way rs to give the effect of one vast
apartment and a similar arrangement
will be made with the conservatory on
the other side.
The most imposing architectural fea-
ture of the house will be n marble
staircase running to the top and light
ed by dome of stained glass. The ex-
terior walls will be of granite and 3!G
men are now at work cutting II in
Maine. The fascndc fronting Fifth
avenue will be what the architect calls
"modernized Louis NV" and will bG
very ornate. The house alone Will
cost S5.0OO.00O and no limit will be
placed upon the interior decorations.
Mr.. Clark has paid $65, 900 for a lot
1O2x55 feet in size at the corner of
Park avenue and Seventy y-sixth street,
New York. where he will erect $1JO.-
600 stable.
1t is no longer secret among the
senator's friends that some time dur
ing the summer he will be married to
q Miss La Chappelle. the daughter of
French Canadian miner, formerly in
his employ. who was killed in one Of
his mines. Senator Clark generously
placed the widow in comfortable cir
cumstances and provided for the edu-
cation of the children. He sent the
oldest daughter to Paris to study music
and art and then fell in love with her
She is younger than his own daughter,
but the latter is said to regard her

ows, and there was no turning back
1t was pleasant at first, for thers
were the dolls on the shrine-the less
er gods-and Sum could play with
them without fear, because Of tbs
smile of the main functionary.
Sum noticed after several hours two
things-namely: That their room
had not got beyond the chimney pots
and that she was hungry.
She had had small bowl 0: rice and
pork that noon in her own home, but
now 1t was getting dark outside, and
she knew that they were getting into
the Land of Silver Shades and Star
Beams.
So she sat still and wondered why
she could not get out and what she
should eat for dinner. And then she
went around and consulted the Joss.
There he sat, as If made OF chocolate
creams, and smiled Below him was a
covered board. and Almond Blossom
lifted the end OF the cloth that was
draped over it. and there found duck
roasted. jars of potted fish, and sweet
cakes-all her favorite dishes!
She knew then that she was in
Magic Land, and she smiled back at
the brown man and ate ravenously.
The night passed by, Almond Bios

Ing them in the morning, she began
another day of weary waiting for the
opening Of the temple door.
At Almond Blossoms home you can
understand the excitement. They
mourned her as dead, and thought the
angry devils had spirited her away.
They gave up searching for her after
awhile, and when the fourth day came
her tea sets and wooden dolls were put
away, and the family shrine lit with
seven tapers, for her years.
