The picture of the happy home life OF the
man who stole the Gainsborough portrait
! of the fair Georgiana. Duchess OF Devon

through the newspapers. A dilettante In art
and Judge of gems, it seems he is, and. of
course, a respected citizen, fond of children.
Then came the account of the pious work
of Skoog, the counterfeiter. who has been
living for years under an assumed name In
Brooklyn where he was a much-respected
citizen and prominent in the Sunday schools.

the first rank to live DR.. Jekyl and Mr..

some years ago there lived in Bristol,
England, CHEEKY and kind-hearted man,
just past the middle age, known to all the
children in town as Uncle Billy Nash. Mr..
Nash had a well-furnished house and COM
manded the respect of the community as
retired West India merchant of means. He
was always doing good In some way or
other, his special hobby being Kindness to
children. Oh, he was such a benevolent,
lovable old fellow He was all the time or
ganizing entertainments for the dear chill
dren and treating the whole primary schools
to taffy and toys. He used to gather chill
dren at his house to witness Punch and
Judy shows, where he would stun them
with candy and cake and send each one
away with a nice little present.
To the police dear old Uncle Eilly was
known as Isaac Morgan. daring hotel swim
dler and jewel thief. He found time in the
intervals of making glad the hearts of the
children of Bristol to commit some of the
cleverest jewelry robberies on record. One
day he would be rifling jewel casket in
some swell hotel, and the next. clad in
long frock coat and cashmere trousers dis
tributing prizes to school children. 1t was
he who stole the great Pirbeck ruby from
the Duchess Dues. His last exploit In the
line of his profession was to steal the dia-

Private Bonnito's letter is dated Pekin,

You letter reached me at last and I
was very glad to hear from you again. 1t

He ask If l were the only Indian In

plants to make and that 1 getting
along fine. He said he was proud of his
regiment having an Indian in it.
Car loads of quartermaster's supplies

THE OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY.
No Valid objection to Opening Libra
ries That Day.

ries on That Day.
Being stranger in Washington" said
W. H. Foster Of Boston to a Star man in
an uptown hotel this morning, II went up
to the beautiful Congressional Library
building last Sunday afternoon, expecting
to gain admittance. and was much sur
prlsed to IND 1t closed The impression /
had that 1t was open to the public Sunday
afternoon, 1t appears. was erroneous /
mad read OF movement to bring about
this result and 1 labored under the i'm
preston that the appropriation had been
made at the last session of Congress /
learned, however. that the bill had failed
OF adoption In conference, though the ad-
Nocacy OF the measure had been quite uni
versai here; In fact. my informant a we'll
known author OF the capital, told me that
there had been no opposition to the move
ment, but. instead. strong local sentiment
among all classes for fits adoption.
The relation between literature and art
and Sunday observance is 50 close that /
am at loss to conceive of valid objec-
lions to the opening on Sunday Of the IL
braries and art galleries. II was proposed
1 believe. to open the library in the after
noon and evening at such hours as would
not interfere with the attendance at
church In the morning. This is the case
with the public library In Boston and 1t
has worked admirably
THE question Of Sunday observance is a
relative question at best. What is the
proper manner is a mooted question. and
pute over the fact that improving the mind
by the perusal of good literature ap-
preaches very colse to an ideal way of
spending the Sabbath or a portion of the
day. IT has been demonstrated in Boston
that very large percentage OF the books
called for on Sunday consist Of the classics
in fiction and on scientific and religious
subjects. II that rule holds true in Bos-
ton there Is every reason to believe that
1t will also hold true in Washington.
People Of leisure and those who live in
comparative comfort are prone to lose
sight Of the fact that the great majority
of our population work on the week days.
Their opportunities, therefore, for mental
relaxation and Improvement are very cir
onstrated that people cannot be- driven to
attend religious services. They may, how
ever. be encouraged and induced to do So
and one of the sureSt methods, to my mind
is to AFFORD them all possible mental slim
illus and inquiry into religious and allied
subjects by broadening and deepening their
thoughts through reading
Viewing the question from the religious
phase of 1t, and that is but one side of its
stimulates the mind, and encourages peo-
pie to attend houses Of worship to listen to
the thoughts of our ministers Of all de-
nominations. Breadth of thought does
more to secure attendance of church and
the observance Of Sunday than contrac-
ton.
