HIS OWN BRAVE DEED

She was hero worshiper
 Often she woald read history just to find some new hero to worship.
 Otherwise she would read such nov- els as Beautiful Betsy, the Belle of the Brassworks. or the Baronet's Bride"
 Of course this made her feel that she had married beneath her, for her hus- band had not grown round shouldered from wearing heavy medals
 Occasionally she would tell him that she wished he was hero.
 Once the foolish man told her that he would be hero if he had q chance.
 You would?' she said in tones of in credulty. Did you ever do anything in your life that looked like bravery or that seemed valorous in after years?"
 He thought of the day when they played Mendelssohn's Wedding March and he gave the minister ten dollars and she became his wife.
 But he didn't say anything about it.
 For a true hero never talks about his glorious, daring deeds.
 So she never knew that her husband was a hero.
 Isn't it sad, sad story y?-Baltimore American.

North Beach is an ideal place for excursionists as all the latest and most up-to-date arrangements for the entertainment of visitors are provided The committee in charge of the affair could moot have chosen more populor spot for their days outing.
 The Old Guard band has been en- gagged for the entire day. The steamer has accommodations for 1,500 persons, but to avoid crowding only 1000 tickets will be sold. The excursion, under these very favorable conditions, should be largely patronized.

If this object is not to be assured, then the arrangement sought should be quite different in form and should more close ly follow the suggestions of Cardinal Rampolla in his memorandum of June 22 wherein he says that an estimate of the value of the lands, conformable with the principles of justice and equity, is complicated question, requiring special study of the facts in the case, and can- not be solved with precipitation; and declares the disposition of the Holy See to furnish the new apostolic delegate, who is to be sent to the Philippines, with necessary and opportune instruc- tions in order to treat amca bly, this af- fair in understanding with the Ameri- can government and the parties inter- ested. and so to arrive at fixing a sat- isfactory accord, whether on the value of the lands or the conditions of the sale; and wherein he further says that

OF the majors generosity was the limit OF
