Hello, nah baby! Hello. nah honey!
Hello, nah ragtime girl!
In the twinkling of an eye pandc-
monium rcigned in the sewing room
Of st. Agatha's mission. Twenty-Five
small girls dropped fells, French
seams and buttonholcs in wild rush
for the open windows and their first
lovc-thc street piano man.
Their pretty teacher was far too ten
der hearted to stem the hcSira. so
little music could come into the lives
of these slum children. Why deny
them this pleasure? SO she quietly
gathered up the scattered pieces of I'M
bleachcd muslin, smiling as she softly
hummcd the air which came changing
and clanking from the street below.
"O-ee-Miss Grace-cOme an see
He amt got no monkey. Hes got
mana real, live we'll tOo!'
The Italian displayed his small.
cleaning teeth, as he gaZed up at the
children, crowding upon the fire es-
cape. The teachers in these missions
he had heard Of them. They lived
on the avenue. They wore furs and
violcts. and always they gave their
pupils for the street musicians a nick
el, perhaps even Il dime.
Grace Byrne slipped ten pennies into
the hands of as many eager girlieS,
then leaned over their wriggling, ex-
cited little figures to catch glimpse
of the extra attraction. In the center
of Il gaping circle was well built
fellow from her own walk of life-a
carefully groOmcd chap, too, he was,
clad in the conventional frOck coat,
gloves. And he was dancing, actually
dancing to that frightful ragtime mu-
sic. \ loud guffaw rose from the cir
clc of slum denizens. and Grace leaned
farther out the window, to the dis
comfort of herself and several smaller
forms whose owners would not give
way even for "teachcr."
"IIeIlo! Hello" screamed the piano
IN final triumph. The young man
stopped dancing, whipped his polished
hat from his shapcly head and dclib-
cratcly held it toward the gaping.
laughing crowd.
"Oh. teacher, give us some more pen
nics--quick! See. he's goin' away. an
he's SO funny! Jes' a couple. plcasc.
But Grace had stumbled back to her
table and was sitting there now, with
her white face half hidden in her slen-
der hands.

and pallor. settled quietly to their

THE MEN LEFT BEHIND.

The drays and baggage vans are piled
With trunks and with valises,
And off to mountains lake and beach
Go daughters, wives and nieCes,
But down among the counting rooms
And Offices you'll find them
Those haplcss and deserted souls,
The men they left behind them.
oh, windows closely curtained are
And porches bare of laces:
Pajamas and n twinkling tip
OF life the only traces.
For maid and matron vainly seek
But here. where fate designed them,
Roam round, like restless. lonesome
ghosts,
The men they left behind them.
80 cool one needs n Jacket on.
You tell of heat; how funny!
Please telegraph n hundred. quick:
I'm nearly out of money!!
And coatlesS. cOllarless-een more;
With comments-never mind them:
Dip deep the pen and draw the check,
The men they left behind them.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-During the
greater part of the Senate session to-day
the Notifications appropriations bill was
under consideration. Mr.. Proctor, of
Vermont. offered an amendment provid
ing that no part Of the appropriation
made should be used for procuring dis
appearing gun carriages. The amend
ment precipitated debate which con-
tinued for two hours, and had not been
concluded when the measure was laid
aside for the day.
Mr. Proctor led the fight against the
disappearing carriages, declaring that
they were never effective, and in actual
war it would be shown that they were a
lamentable failure. Mr.. Perkins. of Cali
fornia, warmly defended the War De-
partment in adopting tho disappearing
carriages, maintaining that the bulk of
the evidence on the subject was in sup
port of the carriages.
A vote on the bill providing for the
construction of q union railway station
in Washington will be taken tomorrow.

This aroused the suspicious of Mr.. Ce-

After making circuitous route around
the Reservoir, the negro was brought
to a halt with a rock. The boys had
made the chase too warm for him; and,
getting over behind a ditch. he told his
followers that he would shoot the first
one to come near him. Only for an in
