rhe story of a Picture.

benjamin Vests picture of the
death of Nelson is closely connected
with an anecdote of the great sailor.
Just before he went to sea for the last
time he was present at dinner, dur
ing which lie sat between the artist
and Sir William Hamilton. Nelson was
expressing to Hamilton his regret that
he had not, in his youth, acquired some
taste for art and some discrimination
in judging it. But" said he, turning
to West, there is one picture whose
power do feel. / never pass shop
where your Death of Wolfe is in the
window without being stopped by it"
West made some gracious answer to
the compliment, and Nelson went on,
"Why have you painted no more like
it?"
Because. my lord" West replied,
"there are no more subjects"
"Ah," said the sailor, Il didn't think
OF that
"But, my lord'' continued West, 'T
am afraid your intrepidity will yet
furnish me with another such scene,
and if it should / shall certainly avail
myself of it,
"Will your said Nelson-"will you,
Mr.. West? Then L hope 1 shall die in
the next battlep'
a few days later he sailed, his
strangely expressed aspiration was re-
allied, and the scene lives upon can
vas.

An Experiment In Journalism.

Once there was really radical pa
per, in London it was, but the man
who made it now lives here and tells
the tale. 1t was one of those papers
which are a tragedy. They represent
the wreck of the enthusiasm of strong
men who must find the outlet for their
apostolate. This paper began by being
at odds with all that was established,
and it had readers. But as time went
on the man who made the paper drove
off singly and in groups all those who
had begun by being his supporters. 1t
was found little too radical for them,
and they no longer kept step with its
newest march.
"Of course 1 now can see that such a
paper was foredoomed to failure" the
editor said after he had recited the ear
ly history of his venture. II confess
it was pretty strong even for British
radicals After the circulation had
dwindled down to the extremists sue
ceeded in alternating about half of them
by denouncing social democracy as feu-
dial oppression, and the other half left
me when / attacked atheism on the
score of its superstitious tendencies.
After that 1 ran the paper as long as
could without any subscribers. But
had TO give it up. Nobody would read
it except myself, and toward the end
had to give up reading it myself.

1.ne story of a Mean Man.

This Is the story of mean man. He
may not be the meanest on record, but
he carries a very fair brand of close
fistedness. He had a contract to sup
ply a certain amount of crushed stone.
The machine he used could turn out all
the work he could get by running eight
hours day.
The mean man had an engineer who
was genius. The genius went to his
employer one day and said he thought
he could make some improvements in
that machine so it would do more work
in less time. The genius was paid by
the month.
He worked on the machine for sever
al days. taking it apart and putting it
together again. When reconstructed,
it proved to have greater efficiency
than before. so much so that it did the
same amount of work in one minute
and a half that it used to take four
and half to do.
The mean man, however, could get
no more contracts than before. He
could fill all his orders by running
about three hours a day. The mean
man then went to the genius and said:
''See here, Henry, I've been paying
you by the month. but there isn't as
much work as there used to be-not
enough to keep you busy. I shall have
to pay you by the hour after this"
Henry demurred He had been too
faithful, but he didn't think that ought
to reduce his earnings over one-half.
His employer was firm, however, and
Henry resigned.-New York Mail and
