 That is true" said my uncle, "and can only suppose that young Wiltse had some time or other read this story of Gautier's and come to imagine him self a second lover of the beautiful Marchioness de T., posed, to please her husband. in the romantic scene with Hercules"
 My uncle's whole story ran counter tc my very strong projudices against be lief in all things supernatural. spirit ism" and the other ''isms" of the same sort. Do you mean to say" l ex- claimed, that you believe Gautier's preposterous yarn about the amours of the young student and that woolen ragT
 Not so fast; not so fast" he replied. ''I have not said that looked upon the tale as a recital of fact. You miss the point. I will refresh your memory of the story and then you will under stand.
 "The youth of Gautier's story was deprived of his Omphale by an unfeel. ing guardian who had discovered the boys infatuation. Years afterward the man found the tapestry representation of his goddess in an oddity shop and trembling with joy, hurried away to get the 500 francs demanded for 1t by the shopkeeper. Before he returned an Englishman (why not Wiltse, Sr. 3 had offered coo francs for the tapestry, the dealer had accepted, and the tapestry had been carried away"
 But" broke in again, you are still supposing that Gautier's tapestry and youth actually existed"
 Not at all Whether or not Gautier described an actually existing tapestry do not know. l am inclined to think, however, that the novelist had seen this very tapestry. And when young Wiltse found 1t in his fathers house either after or before he read the story, for am confident that he had read it. Omphale's spell grasped him, and he was never able to throw 1t of. He be came the successor to Gautier's youth but probably Omphale did not warmly respond a second time to merely hu. man lovers advances, and hence his despair"
 Poor fellow" said I. "Doyou know"- And then hesitated. ashamed to dis close to my uncle the intense inter est he had excited in me. Where is that tapestry now?" I finally demand ed.

GreeIey,a Awful wrftfnx,

It Is interesting to recall the fact that Horace Greeley left behind him very frank criticism of the legibility of his own chlrography. Being up town in New York one day, and wishing to send a telegram and also to get shaved, he entered hotel and sent his dis patch. Then. passing into the barber shop, he sat down in chair and (ac- cording to custom) was soon sound asleep.
 Meantime the telegram had created a decided sensation, Mir Greeley hay Ing thrown 1t down hastily on the desk and neglected to translate it. Nobody, from the manager down, being able to supply a legible equivalent for the mysterious characters, a messenger was sent into the barber shop with the screed.
 Waking with start, and supposlng that the boy had brought an answer to his dispatch, Mir. Greeley took the paper, scanned 1t for a moment, and then, with a look of deep disgust, plped out: What blamed idiot wrote this?"

An Easy Problem.

A dispatch from Washington. D. o., June 28. says: "A curious discrepancy concerning the amount of the Chinese indemnities has developed, by which it appears that China has agreed to pay about 35,000,000 taels, or S24, 800 900 more than the united demands of all the powers. Just how this occurred is not clear to officials, but it appears to have been an error of calculation at Pekin, in the first place, by those mak- ing up the indemnlties, and later by the Chinese, in their nasty acceptance of the total. The question now arises what will become of the excess of 35,0OO, 900 taels."
 This question which puzzles the statesmen and diplomats of all the powers is problem easily solved by an editor who says: "Give the money to the State of Conpecticut to be expended on state roads under the direction of Highway Commissioner Macdonald"

MAY WAIT FOR NEW BOARD

A meeting of the board of aldermen
was called for Yesterday morning to take
action on the resolution permitting the
school board to- acquire sites and erect
new school buildings, but owing to the
absence OF the necessary two-thirds' vote
with which to pass the measure, noting
was done.
President Huber and Aid. Dah,quist
did not honor the meeting with their
presence, while Aid Murphy and Dob
ner refused to lend their votes to the
measure, the latter contending that the
proposed addition to the Longfeliow
school was directly at Variance with the
wishes of the. people in the Tenth dig
trict. He claims a school is wanted mid
way between the Hancock and Longfel-
low schools and further a site for such
has already been offered the board free
OF cost. This would save The $500 which
the schOof board now proposes to ray for
a site.
Aid Murphy says he is informed that
the board is. preparing. to ray cut about
$4,000 for a number of lots, when the
same in his estimation are rot worth
over 81 GEO. For this reason he refuses to
lend his vote to the scheme.
Some of the Republican members of
the board claim that the refusal of tie
aldermen to vote for the resolution IS
done in order to bang the matter up
until March. when three new members

that he reigns by Divine right, but
