PRAYER of n snuhrette.

The people who live in stageland
have the strangest ways. l sat in
box in one of the theaters one evening
and l could see into the wings on the
prompt" side of the stage. A comic
opera was on, and l saw one of the
leading women come and take her
stand there in the wings. waiting for
her cue. l could see her quite plainly,
and watched her with curiosity, won
dering if she were not cold in the tights
and thin gauze of her scant costume.
The comedian began the long speech.
the last word of which was to call her
on. She bowed her head her lips moved,
and thrice she made the sign of the
cross with a devoutness which left no
room for doubt that she was actually
praying. An instant later she had
frisked out on the stage with laugh
and a dance step and a wink that was
anything but pious. Nobody seeing
her could have dreamed that just the
moment before she was actually pray
ing-praying for guidance in her work,
praying for strength to succeed, as
earnestly and with just as much faith
and reverence as If she-well, as if she
were anything in the world but dane
ing girl in a comic opera.-Washingt

Value of COusuIships.

"Young man." said a noted Illinois
congressman in the house restaurant
at the capitol, when you get chance
to be consul for the United States
select a smoky city, one where there
are many factory chimneys. Do not
try for the fashionable capitals. Leave
them for the ambassadors. Go where
the air is murky, for there business Is
lively, and maxy consignment is sent
to the United States. This means fees,
and fees mean a good income for the
consul"
In the course of his chat the con-
gressman made the general statement
that consuls who are making the most
money from fees are the Quietest, most
unassuming, accomplishing employees
of the government. They do not set
up claims for q salary instead of fees"
he said. "Oh, no; but like the wise
= boy where the raspberries are thick
| they let the world forget, so far as pos
sible, that they are on earth. Let a
consular office be changed from the fee
to the salary system. and it at once
becomes alluring to voraciOus lot of
aspirants. Some one finds out per-
haps that the political support of this
particular consul is weak, and then in
fluence is used, and soon there is a
change.
"One of the most profitable consul
ships is that of Liverpool. The salary
is $4,000, but the fees bring the emolu
ments up to several times that amount
and generation ago the income of the
consul at Liverpool was $4,000 a year
This has been reduced by abOlishinG
fees."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the man
who spends money judiciously and
literally is better able to impart his
knowledge than the man who has lit
tie or nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type of a
newspaper.
THE Suns reports from all parts of
the United States are unsurpassed.
The Suns Gable Service is the finest
known; the troubles in the Philippines
and in South Africa demand compe-
tent correspondents and vast expend-
iture of money and labor in getting
the news. Whe you get The Sun you
get news and intelligent presentation
of facts with it, as well as carefully
prepared articles of editorial writer's of
highest standing. When you read a
daily paper, whose principal recon-
mendation is its cheapnsss, you get
the dregs-g generally very poor dregs

The kentucky MOuntaineers.

There are no more strikingly inter-
esting people in America than these
isolated mOuntaineers. who make their
homes generation after generation
among the Businesses of the eastern
section of the dark and bloody
ground The waves of civilization
which swept westward along the st.
Lawrence, the Erie canal and a dozen
other routes seem to have found at this
point in the Appalachians an insur-
mountable barrier and rolled back,
leaving the descendants of the pioneers
of century and half ago with many
of the same habits and customs and
traditions dear to the hearts of their
forefathers.
A man who knows the whole country
as a child does his first picture book
told me that If any person took the
trouble to go through copy of Shakes
peare and pick out all the obsolete
words he would lind nearly all of them
in common use among these mountain
folk. In their phraseOlogy we find
"holp" for help" ''hit" for 'it" and
other words which, far from being cor
ruptions, are the pure old Anglo-Saxon.
/ Even their ballads are memories of
ages gone by, and l know of one man
who, after riding 200 miles through the
mountains for the purpose, finally pick
ed up, from hearing the women sing
them, the full 13 verses of an old
Scotch ballad which proved to be iden-
tical with those recorded in a diary
bearing the date 1665.-International

A CONFIDENTIAL CASE.

AbOut "a Stolen Hog.
''It has long been a matter of argu-
ment," said the old lawyer, who was
in a reminiscent mood, whether a
lawyer should defend a man that he
knows to be guilty. There is an argu-
ment on both sides, and do not sup
pose it will ever be settled to the salts

Of business, was called upon to de-
fend a worthless character who had
been arrested for hog stealing.
"At that time every one kept at least
one hog to be killed in the fall and
salted down for use in the winter. One
of my neighbors had butchered a hog
a few days before, and the party that
/ was called upon to defend had been
charged with theft of it.
