The Story of tho Sp ,rtive Pup and

She was a tall finely-proportioned
woman. handsomely gowned, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. AS she paced
along with slow and majestic tread
her voluminous draperies trailed after
her with silked swish that was truly
impressive. 1t must have been the
f1uttering motion of the ruffles that at
tracted a little dog from one of the
neighboring porches. Here was some
thing to play with, and he ran ayter
the swishing founces, paving and Bit
ing at them, and standing aside be-
tween times to watch their fascinating
fiutter. He was a very little dog-one
of the toy variety. and a puppy at that
and the dignified wearer of the
fiounceS seemed unaware of the atten-
lions he was paying her swirling drap-
cries. She was oblivious, even when
the doglet, tired of marrying the swiz-
cling mass, suddenly pumped himself
down in the midst of it. Whether the
motion pleased or frightened him it
would be hard to say, but he chung to
his perilous position as though used to
snatching free rides whenever occa-
sion offered. Then his weight began to
tell, the train was gathered up with a
jerk and the puppy rolled clear across
the sidewalk He yelped, too, as much
as to say it didn't pay to take a train
when you only wanted a dog cart. But
thu people who sat on the adjoiniE &
porches smiled, and the pace of the
majestic woman was FASTENED to quick

President Arthur was the best
dressed man 1 ever saw" said one of
the attendants at the White House,
who has been there thirty years or
more, to Star reporter. He changed
shirts three times a day and suits al
most often. He never wore the same
suit all day, and during the social sea-
son changed as ofteneas three or four
times each day. In the summer he was
fond of low-quartered shoes, and al
ways tied them with a wide silk
string. l have bought him hundreds OF
pairs of silk shoe strings. He had not
less than fifty pairs of good shoes at
all times, and 1 know he did not have
less than one hundred shirts at time.
He had more than a hundred pieces
of neckwear, too, President Arthur was
a mighty fine man and was good to all
the servants and others connected with

Pilots Exclusf1e Club.

The Sandy Hook Pilots club is not
in the social register, yet it is the most
exclusive club in New York. You
might apply for admission to member
ship now, but you wouldn't get in for
ten or twelve years-and you would be
more fortunate than some present
members if you got in even then. For,
unlike the Authors club, which is not
all author, or the Golf club, which is
not entirely golfer, or the athletic club,
which is not wholly athlete, the Pilot
club is all pilot And to be pilot you
must serve, first, two years before the
mast, then six years as an apprentice
on pilot boat, then one. or two years
as pilot. Sosthat, usually twelve years
pass before a pilot gets full license.

Cbe CroubIe in VirSfnio.

Virginia has a state constitutional
convention in session. 1t was called
primarily to regulate the suffrage
question. but the question of sectarian-
ism became involved and its settle
ment required much effort.
The present constitution of Virginia
recognizes religion by describing it as
the duty which we owe to our Gre
ator.' The manner of discharging
this duty, it says, should be directed
only by reason and conviction, not by
force and violence" Therefore, all
men are entitled to a free exercise of
religion according to the dictates of
conscience Then comes this para

'And that it is the mutual duty OF
all to practice Christian forbearance.

He said that the use of the word I'M

Other speakers said that the phrase

destitute of sectarian significance
that it was as unsectarian as the
phrase, Mosaic meekness," or Mil

vailed and the entire clause was elm

benefactions of Andrew Carnegie, John
D. Rockefeller and the late P. D. Ar
mour are not properly to be included
under the head of charity, for the
gifts made by these men are philan
thropic rather than charitable. That
is to say. Mr.. Carnegie and the rest

The Little Lady of the Tene-

BY EDGAR WELToN COOLEY

BY EDGAR WELION COOLEI.
Author tsThe Life in Her Veins"
Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story Pub Co
This is a story of a man who had
talent and a woman who had hope
His name was-but what matters it?
To those who met him most frequent
ly he was known as the Silent Man.
He lived in a rear room on the third
floor of a tenement house, and kept
the wolf and the landlady at arms
distance by writing for the press
She was known as Old Simpsons
tomboy, for the reason that in her
younger days, when she wore short
skirts and was rather negligent in
matters of toilet, there wasn't boy
on the block who could outrun her,
or scale a six-foot fence in less time
than she could.
Old Simpson, her father, was the
cobbler, who pegged away on other
peoples shoes in the basement of the
tenement, and allowed his daughter
to wear shoes that were out at the
heel and toe.
The Silent Man was silent because
he was lonely. For years he had been
lonely, until, one day. out of he gloom
and the dreariness, with a smile on her
face and song on her lips, she came
to him and laid her hand in his.
OF evenings, after that, they were
wont to walk arm in arm, down to
the brink of the river and listen to
the murmur of the ripples and see,
across the water, the silver line traced
by the moon, which she always spoke
of as the path of glory leading out
into the afterwhiles.
She, alone of all the world, knew of
the goodness of the Silent Man; but
that was only because she understood
him better than did any one else. She
believed in his greatness and called
him her genius.
If the Silent Man had ever met Sue
cess, it must have been in the dark
ness. for Success had passed him by
unnoticed. So, whenever she rested
her hands on his shoulders and smiled
up into his eyes, where the shadows of
disappointment and despair constantly
fingered, and said: "Courage, dear,
courage Some day you will be famous
and the world will know you and love
you as 1 do" he would stroke her hair
and smile sadly, calling her his angel
with the dreamy eyes of hope.
For some day" she would con-
tinue, you will write story through
which the warm blood of your heart
will go pulsing and its throbbing will
catch the ear of the great, busy world
and it will pause to listen and will say,
this is the work of a genius.
So it was that the Silent Man, en-

Firsf Christian Church.

The sea has sometimes swallowed
up a church that has been built too
near the edge of the ocean, but it is
difficult to understand how a whole
edifice could sink into the earth, to be
rediscovered beneath the foundations
of its successor. Such, however, has
been the case with the church of Santa
Maria Antigua at Rome, built in the
fourth century and now uncovered by
the demolition of the newer church,
Santa Maria Liberatrice. The en-
trance to this strange old church is
built on to a vestibule of Caligula's
Palace, and was once decorated with
pictures, which, of course, have been
ruined by the accumulation of earth
and debris. Some. however, are fairly
well preserved and give the history OF

Straight through my heart this fact to-
day
By. truths own hand is driven;
God never takes one thing away
But something else is given.
I did not know in earlier years
This law of love and kindness,
1 only mourned through bitter tears,
My loss, in sorrows blindness.
But ever following each regret
Der some departed treasure
My sad, repining heart was met
With unexpected pleasure.
1 thought it only happened so;
But Time this truth has taught me;
No least thing from my life can go
But something else is brought me.
It is the law, complete, sublime,
And now with faith mistaken
In patience 1 but bide my time
When any joy is taken.
No matter if the crushing blow
May for the moment down me;
Still, back of it waits Love, 1 know,
With some new gift to crown me.
