And, as Father o'Flaherty had ex-
pected, Mrs. Mullaney's social ambi-
lions for her daughter recognized q

O'Flaherty, albeit that he never finds
the new building quite so snug and
homelike as the old one, calls there
quite often and he is usually little
happier for every visit.
The sweet little Irish girl Of whom
Father O'Flaherty has no business to

has no business to think Of her to
know that Molly Murphy, e Molly

sake.

Booming the Tomato.

The editor Of the London Academy
offered a prize for the best article in
praise Of the tomato. He received
many answers from alleged tomato
lovers, and out of the lot he picked one
that is more poetical than tempting.
That is, you read 1t and call it neat,
but you don't go out and sample a to-
mato to see If what the essayist says
Of it is true. The eulogist closes his
song Of praise in this way: II have
had for more respect for Eve since I
OWNED that the apple Of love of para
disc vas really a tomato" But why
should we divine that the fruit Of end
less discord was a tomato? This SER
Ipent loses half his dignity and most Of
his hypnotic influence when seen
crawling around the tomato frames.
Think of Eve offering Adam a bite Of
q tomato! les absurd. People don't
share tomatoes. Besides, the.raw to-
mato without fixings, isn't attractive
for any save vitiated appetites. It's
different with the apple. The apple is
the strawberry among the larger
fruits. It's in q class by itself. It's
good any way you want to serve 1t,
even dried. No, we cart give up the
apple-nor the serpent, with his tail.
securely twisted about the limb. The
tomato is but a groundling-let it re-
main so.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

His Question Of Faith.

A religious old darkey had his faith
badly shaken not long ago. He is sex
ton for q white church in a Fayette
county town, and n afternoon as he
was in front sweeping the pavement a
strong wind arose, tearing a piece of
the cornice of and taking a few bricks
out Of the wall. Realizing that g good
run was better than a bad stand, the
old man sought shelter in the station
house on the opposite side OF the
street. Several minutes later a MEM
Der of the church of which Uncle Ish-
am is sexton came by, and noticing
him, in his retreat, remarked that he
thought the station house O. strange
place for a man of. faith to seek shell
ter in a storm when house of wor-
ship was near. Oats so, but whut's
man gwine ter do when de Lord be-
gins to frow bricks at 'im?'-Memphis

He Enjoyed the Shave.

He was one of those smooth-faced
young men who chew gum because it's
!ladylike and smoke cigarettes because
it's manly. He couldn't have stood un-
der the mistletoe in a short-waist for
five minutes without tempting some
thing with q deep bass voiss and whis-
kers to mcander that way.
Hair cut?" asked the barber, as he
threw his head back on the rest.
NAV, course not" Indignantly re-
piled the customer. Cant yer see I
want a shaver"
The barber heaved a weary sigh as
he lathered the face, which looked like
an advertisement for somebody's COM
plexion balm. Then he picked up a
neck razor, whipped it over the strop
once, and scraped the lather off with
the back of the instrument.
"By Jove, a shave makes a man feel
better" calculated the smooth-faced
one, rubbing his hand gently over his
skin.
That's the fourth one O. them things
to-day" growled the barber.-Denver
Times.

RESPECT FOR THE LAW.
A Blow At the President is . MANAGE
to us All.

A Blow at the President is . MANAGE
So far as the American people can
protect the life Of their chief magis-
trate against the common enemies OF
all governments, no effort will be
spared to do so. A stricter enforce
ment of existing legislation, possibly
new legislation looking to the closer
supervision Of the speech and action
of suspicious elements in the COM
munity is likely to follow. A blow
directed against our president is a
menace to each one Of us, and we have
full right to. take every precaution
against the foes of established order.
But in a democracy like ours founded
upon free opinion and free speech,
choosing It's rulers from the ranks,
and desiring those rulers to mingle
more or less freely, during their term
OF office, with their fellow-citizens, 1t
becomes difficult and probably impos-
sible to surround the life Of an Am
erican president with those safeguards
with which European %sovereigns have
grown sadly familiar. In witnessing
the staying of our chief magistrate by
an anarchist, we are sharing in the
evil inheritance of old world tyranny
and absolutism, without being able
to utilize those defensive measures
which absolutism makes possible. The
only permanently effective weapon
against anarchy, in a self-governine
republic, is respect for law. Forum
ately, this weapon is within the reach
Of every citizen of the American COM
monwealth, and we believe that the
untimely death Of the president has
already resulted in a profound popular
reaction against lawlessness in every
form.-At1antic Monthly.

SABBATH IN SWEDEN.
Z. Z . Day when tn. ropul.oe Seek.

It - . Day When the POpu1aco Seeks
Pleasure.
We spent Sunday in G%othenburg
and had an opportunity to observe the
Swedish plan Of Sabbath observance,
writes William E. Curtis, who Is in
Sweden. In the morning the churches
were all crowded and the services
were very long. The pastors usually
preached an hour, and, although the
heat was oppressive and in some
churches the sun blazed through the
big curtainless windows until the air
vas almost sitting, the congregation
sat through the two hours with com-
mendable patience, and went home to
their dinners edited"
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon
people began to appear upon the
streets carrying baskets and wraps and
walking towards the parks. The street
cars were crowded, and carriages
were SO numerous as to form process
sions, all driving the same way. Ev-
erybody seemed to be going some
where. Long excursion trains were
leaving every half hour from the rail-
way stations. Toward evening we
took a drive through the ~boulevards
and parks into the suburbs, where the
woods and lawns were alive with
groups of grown people sitting on the
grass, children running about among
the trees and bushes and lovers wan
dering arm in arm through the shady
lanes. The boulevards and driveways
were thronged with all sorts of equip
ages, handsome carriages With coach
men and footmen in livery, and carts
hauled by clumsy work horses loaded
with plainly dressed men, women and
children. The entire population of
the city were engaged in a search of
pleasure which they found in vari-
Gus forms. The cafes and restaurants
were crowded all the afternoon and
evening; gay music was provided at
each other either by brass bands or or
chestras.

1t was q neat little house n q neat

reminded him Of the good, hard-work-

rificed her own Joy In his presence. for
the sake Of his future well-being. He
was sorry, upon the occasion Of the

ANIMALS APPRECIATE MUSIC.

Experiments Show That Harmonious
sounds Arc Pleasing to Them.
Recent experiments undertaken to
ascertain whether or not the lower
animals are affected by instrumental
music have proven to the entire salts
faction Of those who conducted them
that a powerful influence is exerted. A
concert was given at a poultry show
as anexperiment. While the musicians
were tuning their stringed instru-
ments the fowls paid no attention,
but as soon as they began to play they
listened intently, and the only n
among them that seemed dissatisfied
was an old trukey cock. Though all
his companions were perfectly quiet.
he made more noise than usual. The
concert was regarded as a success and
as a convincing proof that poultry like
string music.
That animals like to hear a violin
played seems also to be clearly proved.
Herr F. G. .Baler, a German z~oologist,
played in their presence many times
and found that the music pleased them.
A puma at the first sound of the vio-
lin stretched hirsself at full length in
his cage and listened quietly as long
as the music was soft and low, but
the moment 1t became loud and fast
he sprang to his feet, dashed his sides
with his tail and began to pace nerv-
ously Up and down his narrow inclo-
sure. A jaguar at the sound Of lively
music showed great uneasiness, but
became quiet when soft music vas
played, and even further manifested
his pleasure by thrusting his paws
through the bars of his cage, so as to
detain the violinist who was passing
