Anthony Home. Mad season.

Anthony Hope, among other odd char
acteristics, has a strong dislike to poetry.
A bright London belle, knowing this
trait, once tried the joke of reading some
verses to him. To her surprise he listen
ed complacently and at the end of the in
Aiction thanked her in superlatives. 1t
was too much for her comprehension, She
forgot about the joke and said:

GERMAN DRUMMERs.
Reasons for Their Exceptional Sue
cess in South American Countries.

GGbD IA 9gAkA GAA449A ANtAAA SSA4ANAANSs
Chicago Record: German commercial
travellers are able to sell more goods
in South America than those of any
other country because they have a
larger stock of patience and understand
the character of the people with whom
they deal. When an English or Ameri-
can drummer strikes a town he goes
around among the retail dealers, greets
them cordially. pays few compile
ments, inquiries after their families and
mutual friends and discusses other sub
iects OF similar mutual interest for a
few moments. Then he asks II they
want any GOODS in his line, and unless
they happen to be out of some staple
for which there is an active demand
they reply In the negative. He offers
TO show his samples and invites them
to call upon him at the hotel or the
club where he makes his headquarters.
Then he goes on to the next shop, where
the scene Is repeated, and he may take
several limited orders.
When a German drummer comes TO
town he wanders into retail estHb-
lishment in an Indifferent manner,
pokes over the goods, inquiries where
they got this and what they paid for
that, and " there are no customers to
be served, he offers the merchant n
cigar and sits down for social chat
which usually ends with an Invitation

arranges an attractive spread and pro-
vIdos coplous supply Of good wines,
which Is returned by an invitation to
dine at the merchants house. Not n
word is said about business at either
place. II il merely frinediy exchange
OF hospitality, which perfect knowl-
edge Of the Spanish language enables

Of Not only one merchant, but all the
tradcsmen whose business is profitable
are cultivated in this way. and they
meet the diplomatic drummer in the
presence OF each other at the club
rooms and the residences Of each other
without the slightest restraint
Sooner or later the curiosity Of the
merchant impels him to ask the drum
mer's business, and is told that he is
selling Il certain line of goods which
are probably OF no particular interest
to him. This stimulates curiosity in

The devout heart OF the Child Jesus

Those who knew the law Of God, and

The sanhedrim of the temple had got
ten into rut. 1t could not get out of
the groove OF traditional thought and
expression, however much 1t might de-
sire to. The naivete OF the fresh young
mind from GalIIec was charming and
refreshing. He viewed these matters
from an entirety new and more ex-
allied point of vision. The FIRST
recorded saying OF Jesus is well call
culated to attract attention. He was
not ashamed to say, II must" How
often We say It too. but querulouSly!
He recognized the conStrainlng prin-
clple Of duty, and yielded to It gladly.
Even at this early stage he could have
cried. II delight to do Thy will, o my

OF the evangelIsts. They picture Christ

INTERNATIONAL S. S. LESSON.
The Child Jesus Visits Jerusalem.


The Child Jesus Visits Jerusalem.
A singing caravan of Galllean wor-
shippers came up from the Jordan val
ley: they were chanting the Songs OF
Degrees, each psalm reaching higher
note as the pilgrims reached a new
plateau. until at length from the crest
OF olIvet the vision of the fair and
Holy City burst upon their eyes. Then
their triumphant song reached It's
highest note in the exclamation. our
feet shall stand still within thy walls,
o Jerusalem!"
Scores OF such caravans had annual
~ approached the city during the other
festivals Of the Jewish year; but this
caravan was the most important of all.
Unrecognlzed, there walked in 1t the
long expected Messiah in boyish form.
The devout heart Of Jesus was stirred
to It's depths by what he saw ana
heard. The pIous conversation by the
way, the acts OF prayer and praise, the
sight Of city and temple, Impressive and
significant services. eliminating 10 the
6ftering, OF the paschal lamb-nothins
e5caped the alert mind Of the Holy
Child
No, doubt, lupon this occasion, and by
aid Of these objects and incidents, the
cppscI ousuess OF his Divine mission be-
gan TO dawn upon Jesus f4iffd. He was
Absorbed by It TO such degree as TO be
obliviOus to time. place, and home rela-
tlOnRhip. He intended no dlscourtesy
or .dlsobedience to his parents.
He was no forward child, seeking to
arrest attention by airing his own
knowledge. He had received an intl-
nation. the most portentous that could
be Imagined; he was bent upon learn
ing the import OF his great commission.
The best bureau OF Information would
be found in the Sanhedrim In the tenn
pie terrace. Thither he went, and tar
fled long.
The weary and anxious parents, con-
scious OF their lapse in the care Of the
Child Of Destiny, found him at last;
and his mother. In her excitement. al
most taxes him with inconsiderateness.
His answer. in substance. is: You
ought not to have consumed time In
searching and lnquirin6 for me on the
road. The natural and proper place
for me Is In my Fathers House"
Yet tho dawning and glorious con-
seriousness OF his great commission dill
not prevent his hOnOrlng his parents,
and rendering to them cheerful and
ready obedience. and In this he proves
himself the perfect model OF youth.

THE FEARLESS COWARD.
Turned Into Lion by the Face of a
Little Girl.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
General Henry Kyd Douglas, soldier,
jurist statesman and social lion, add
ed to his long and interesting career of
versatility last summer by winning
great applause and golden comments
at a fashionable cake walk given at
one of the Northern resorts. There is
very little that General Douglas cam
not do. He was the chief of staff un-
der Stonewall Jackson and learned the
art of war from that great general.
He was called one of the most fearless
and dashing riders in the whole South
ern armv.
Among the stories he tells of his
man he ever knew. He saw a young
fellow start to run, then halt. and go
forward marching into what seemed
to be the very jaws of death. He ex-
pected as q matter of course that he
would be killed and gave no more
thought to him until after the battle.
Riding over the field he recognized the
rash youth. He asked him what had
impelled him to do such a brave thing.
The reply, after some hesitation, was
as follows:
"Well Colonel, 1t was Just this way.
/ am the worst coward on earth, and
started to run, and intended to keep
on running till l got home, but all of
sudden the face of little girl rose
before me, and when l saw her eyes
knew l just had to fight. and then
waded In and did my best"

The alarm of fire from Box 1924, Cor
bett avenue and Archibald street, at SIS
o'clock Saturday evening, caused un-
usual excitement. owing to the flames
being in house midway between the
Bellevue and Dodge breakers. From
all parts of the city the fire appeared
to be raging in one of the collieries.
Investigation proved 1t was company
house belonging to the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company, situ-
ated on Back street, that was de-
stroyed.
The building was a frame structure,
and was occupied by the families Of
James Graham and Thomas Thomas.
1t was almost totally destroyed, the
firemen being handicapped by the lack
of water facilities. The fire started in
a summer kitchen and was soon conf
municated to the dwelling. The Eagles,
Franklins and Columbias responded,
but owing to the distance from their
quarters they did not reach the scene
in time to be of much assistance.
Neither family carried any insur-
ance,and only few pieces of Graham's s
furniture was saved Two of the
Thomas children We're alone in the
house when the fire started, and had a
narrow escape from being burned to
death.
The fire furnishes another illustra-
tion Of the urgent need of better water
facilities and protection from fire in
Bellevue and Lincoln Heights. Only a
short time ago a house was totally de-
stroyed in this section, and also a barn
and several valuable horses.
