Stephen Girnrd,s stnrt.

Stephen Girard, the great benefactor
Of Philadelphia, was born in Bor-
deauX, France, was left an orphan at
ten and put on ship as cabin boy.
That was his first trip to America.
He could not read or write, but he
worked hard to make up deficiencies
in early training, and soon set up a
shop in Walker street, New York
City. Here he married Polly Lum,
daughter Of a calker, against hel
fathers wish. The marriage proved
unhappy, and Girard went to sea
again before, at forty, he found his
real vocation as a merchant in Phila.
delphia. When in 1903 yellow fever
broke out in the city Grard proved
himself true hero, and organized the
public hospital. His magnificent be.
quest TO the city is famous the world
over. In one room are kept his boxes
and his bookcase, some Of his papers
his clothing-a pair of homely old
knitted braces bespeaking his plain
and frugal habits.

Where suIts Arc Lost.

Once when a certain well-known
English judge was trying a case he
was disturbeS by a young man who
kept moving about in the rear Of the
courtroom, lifting chairs and looking
under things.
Young man." said his lordship, "you
are making a great deal Of unneces-
sary noise, What are you about?"
my lord" replied the young man,
~ have lost my overcoat, and am try
ing to find it,"
"Wen," said the venerable Judge,
with a grim smile, people often lose
whole suits in here without making
all that disturbance"

In That City.

Senator Thurs,on of Nebraska wants
the people of his etatesto participate
in the profits accruing from the sale
of ouartermaster's stores to the gov
ernment. He has introduced bill
authorizing the establishment OF q
quartermaster's department at Omaha.
1t appropriates $4,000. The people OF
Omaha take the ground that quanti-
ties of the supplies purchased by the
army are consumed in the west. under
ordinary circumstances, and that the
people of that portion OF the country
should be permitted to compete with
the people of the east in selling these
supplies to the government. Senator
Thurs:on proposes to push his meas
ure and is confident it will be adopted.
