left the child In the nave, and
when l went back to him he had ad
vanced half way up the middle aisle
and was standing where the sun threw
golden light about his curly head
A tiny object he was in that great
church.
1t was very still He was looking
about In every direction in the most
curious and eager way. To my fancy
he seemed like little angel when he
said in his sweet, childish treble, which
echoed and re-echoed beneath the
vaulted roof:
Papa, where's Jesus? Where's
Jesusr'
He had been told that the church
was the house of the Saviour. and on
this, his first, visit he expected to sec
his Lord.
That baby Is quite grown up now
Not in the faintest particular does he
resemble an angel. The other day
when rode off to the wars, he aston.
ished even me with this request:
Papa, If you get wounded, don't for.

Fortunately for me, If unfortunately
for him, l brought him no bullet.

that the national political convention
Of which we are speaking was held in
some other town than Chicago, and the
place was crowded.
This Is how 1t came to pass that Colo
mel Hankthunder. who went merely as
prominent citizen, OF. the republic and
had not taken the precaution to engage
room beforehand, found himself shut
out of the hotels and compelled to
choose lodgings from a list of eligible
private dwellings.
The woman of the house near the
corner of Fish street and Potato ave
nue.. the first residence at which he
called. showed him the only room she
had to spare.
'"That suits me, ma'am," he said
"How much will 1t cost me for board
and lodging here for the next four
daysT
"Well." she answered, ''this is not q
regular boarding house. and am only
taking boarders because l want to ed.

Tsin. Letters they had written to hin
directed to Manila were returned Il
them through the mails, bearing on th
envelope writing TO the effect that he
died September 10th. Inquiry at Wash
ington proved this sad Intelligence to be
fact. His death occurred at that datt
10 the U. 5. hospital at Tien Tsin OF
acute dysentery, and his remains wert
forwarded To his home.
Mr.. Hathorn was young man oil

are we'll along in years, depended. His
death Is indeed sad bereavement II

A Splendid Blur.

Sir Walter Besant Is said to have
once settled a disputed cab fare In a
novel manner. He drove from Picca-
dilly to some place in the suburbs out
side the radius. On getting down he
rendered to the driver three shillings
and sixpence, which was a little over
the proper fare. The man, however,
wanted five shlllings. Besant refused
'T'd like to fight you for it." said the
driver.
"The very thing" said Besant who
had never in his life put on a boxing
glove and WAS almost as ignorant as
Pickwick even of the fighting attitude.
'"The very thing! Capital! Well
have the fight In the back garden.
My brother will look on, hold the
stakes and see falr!'
The cabman got down slowly, as II
he did not quite care about it after all.
He followed into the garden, where
there was u lovely bit of green turf
Besant placed the five shillings In his
friends hands, took off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled up his sleeves
all with an air of cheerful alacrity.
"Now, my friend" said he. 81 am
ready as soon as you are" His anxiety
was great but it decreased as he
watched the cabman's face express
successfully all the emotions Of bounce,
surprise, doubt hesitation and abject
cowardice.
