$ SENTTMENT TN BOSTON.

Although most of the Chicago stock that city is not entirely permeated with the Chicago spirit. By vote of 21 to 12 the propretors of St. Paul's Church, on Fremont Street, Boston, have refused an offer of $1, ,500 900 for the church property. The original cost of the land and building was about $100,000, but sentimental rather than business reasons prompted the rejection of the f1attering offer. The majority of the proprietors reasoned that for more than eighty years St. Pauls had been an Episcopal church; that 1t is the only Episcopal church in the downtown section of the city; that it offers a con- venient place of worship for many transient visitors; that, even to thou sands who have never crossed it's por- tals it is, by its loca tion on one of the most crowded business streets of the city, reminder of other things than dollars and cents; that it is, and has been, the worshipping place of num- Der of prominent Bostonians; and that in the tombs beneath it repose the dust of some two hundred or three hundred of its former communicants.
 There are those in Boston who think there is more sentiment than sense in this action, but they do not think well. Such sentiment is valuable. We sup pose there are people who would advo- cate the sale of our own beloved Green if the offer for it was large.

and better about obligations. It is a woman's pride to pay what she owes and act fair in all dealings of life. They will at times make close bargains, as a matter of course, and spend much time in discussing the payments of small amounts but when price has been fixed and the terms agreed on, they will live up to their contract to the letter. In working as lawyer for women Judge Shelton never thought about taking security for his fee, and he doesn't recall an occasion where he has financially suffered by it.
 Of course Judge Shelton is right. Women are better witnesses than men, and better in their business transac- tions than men are. They are better in every way.

SOME GRATEFUL CUBANS.

Strange as it may be and is, there are people in Cuba who don't appreciate what we have done for them. The Gu
 ban constitution has just been signed;
 but one of the delegates, Salvador Cis-
 neros, described as President of
 Cuba" refused to sign the instrument
 dent country, whose charter of proposed
 government should not be sent to
 Washington for scrutiny. His language
 was: Cuba is now independent and can see no reason for sending this con- stitution to the United States for ac- ceptance. That government has no right to pass upon 1t, for it is distinctly Gu ban document and was drawn up by this convention, which has assumed the responsibility of establishing the repub- lie" That made quite stir in the con vention. Another delegate, named Tam mayo, said reassuringly to Cisneros: Nevertheless, we are all Cubans." Whereupon Cisneros replied: "Yes,l and when the time comes to fight the Ameri- cans we will fight them together. We will soon be together again to fire at the Americans, as the time for that is approaching. The Americans are like monkeys. When the monkey closes it's paw on thing it never wants to let it go.",.
 Oh gratitude, thy name isn't Cisneros. Cisneros is free, and he calls those who gave him his freedom monkeys But the American eagle wont mind little thing like that

RIGHT ONCE.

This, as the poet rnournfully says. Is a world in which there is nowhere to go but out, and nowhere to come but back, but things do happen right and gaily in it occasionally. For instance, it is relat- ed that poor widow living at Cam pagne, near Bordeaux, in France, had reached state of abject misery. In the little hovel in which she lived was neither food nor fuel and the cold was great As a last resource she deter mined to burn an old family wardrobe, the sole remaining relic of better days. She began to break it up with a hatch ct, when, to her great surprise, out poured stream of gold coins from a secret drawer The total value of the coins thus discovered was $2,O00 The widow supposes that this sum had been In the secret drawer ever since the death of her grandfather, which occur red forty-fve years ago.
 Do not hasten to break up your old furniture in the belief that a golden stream will flow from it. The golden stream has flowed in Champagne, and we do not suppose it is due to flow in other places soon.

A Song of Lowly Life.

I wouldn't be millionaire,
 l wouldn't ask for fame, I wouldn't soldiers laurels wear
 Nor ask ones honOred name; I'd rather have what God has sent
 Me, peaceful life, if low, So write me down that I'm content With being Mamie's beau. I wouldn't wear a kingly crown, l wouldn't be knight, For in those walks to win renown A fellow has to fight, I like too well my neck, I guess,
 But more than that, l know, l like the supreme happiness
 Of being Mamies beau. We're of the common folk, 'tis true, We haven't fame or wealth, But Mamie hath two eyes of blue, And lI have my health! I'm lord OCT loves domain, beside, Where fields of kisses grow, So write me down as satisfied
 With being Mamie's beau. Roy Farrell Greene in Leslie's Weekly

INEYIIdBLE.

When Judge Waterman of Chicago
 said women do not make reliable wit
 nesses it was certain that it would soon
 be discovered that women do make re-
 liable witnesses. Judge Nat Shelton, of
 Missouri, says they do. In his experi- ence as a lawyer he has found, as rule, that women are infinitely more truthful than men, and more accurate in detail in their testimony always. h. stead of women testifying from an im- aginary standpoint, they are exceeding ly cautious about their evidence, characteristic created by acute con- scientiousness. In this respect they are far superior to men. Judge Shelton doesn't recall the time that he ever heard a woman on the witness stand swear to deliberate falsehood. As to business dealings with women, he can say that he has handled transac- tions for them involving large sums of and he never met one that at tempted to beat him out of fee it mat ters not whether they were rich or poor. On the other hand if he had all the money men have beat him out of while for them and saving their property, he wouldn't want to be cir cult judge, for he would have an am- pie competence. Women alc q thou sand fold more honest in their business relations, and their memory is keener
