MASTER FRANCOIS WILLOW.

AS Tristan spoke the tavern latch
ratified, the tavern door was flung
noisily open, and the kings gaze rested
on strange figure framed in the en-
try. The man was of middle height,
spare and slight and lean; his thin.
eager face was bronzed with the suns
and winds of generation, and lined
with the stern ciphers of malign exper-
fences. His dark, straight hair was
long and unkempt; the finer lines of
his cheeks and chin were blurred with
the uncropped growth of a week-old
beard; his eyes were bright and quick;
his glance restless and comprehensive.
A cunning reader of features would
have found a home for high thoughts
behind the fine forehead, the lines of
infinite tenderness upon the mobile
lips. the light of some noble conflagra-
ton in the wild eyes. He was dressed
in faded finery OF many colors, SO
ragged and patched and hostile that he
had very much the air of a gaudy
scarecrow. His ruined cloak was tilted

AS TO cREEDs.
The Man Without Church Givea an
Illustration.

The conversation had drifted from ono
topic to the other and finally found Its
way into religious channels. AS everyone
knows there arc two dangerous subjects
for onversation-religicn and politics.
There Were five Of the men-a Presbyte-
rian, a Catholic, Baptist. a Methodist
and a man without church. The four
creeds had been discussed pro and con.
Then they turned to the outsider.
MY creed2' he said. We'll, l haven't
much of q creed to discuss, but I'll tell you
a story. Did you ever hear of tho four
men-a Presbyterian, q Baptist, n Catho-
lie and Methodst-who went out to dine
together2 No? Will. they did and they
mutually agreed that they would dine on
fish. Time came for them to go to the
table and there they found a great smok-
ing fish No sooner was grace said than
the Catholic arose and, taking third OF
the fish, including the head, removed it
TO his plate, saying IN very seif-sa,is-
fed manner: The pope is the head of the
church
az once the Methodist leaned forward.
Not to be outdone by his Catholic brother
ne, too took third of the fish. compre-
bending the tail, and as he removed 1t to
his plate said: The end crowns the
work.
1T rested between the Presbyterian and
Baptist to get busy, as the saying goes.
There wasn't much left. and when it
comes TO eating the Alphonse and Castor
creed of pollteness doesn't go. The Pres
byterian was the quicker Of the two, and.
rising, he took the remaining third TO his
plate, saying: Truth lies between the
two extremes
''rhe sight of the empty plate moved
the Baptist to rashness and. seizing tho
bowl of melted butter which had been
served with the fish, he dashed 1t over
them all, Eaying: ] baptize you ALL
Now I've summed up your four creeds
and l haven't any of my own. 80 let's

D|LETTANTE TURNED
INTO HARD WORKER
Whipped Expatriated Ameri-
cans Into Line and Drew the
Attention. of tho World
by Big Benefit Per.
form anee.

Paris has figured uniquely in tho
ley memorial to be erected in Canton.
The collections in that gay metropolis
of France were obtained as the result
of the efforts of Judge Leicester
Holme, the details of whose work has
been told to Canton people by the
News-Democrat.
Recently Judge Holme transmitted
something over $4,000 francs or almost
$4,000, to the local Office of the asso-
citation, showing the proceeds of his
work towards the commemoration Of
the fame of President Mckinley. Judge
Holmes efforts in the collection of
funds were unceasing and many novel
schemes were undertaken by him 20
secure money for the fund, and as a
result France stands after only six
states in the. union in point of COL
lections
The contributors to the Paris fund
were, with few exceptions, Americans
now living in Paris. Frank L. Gard
ner. a Partisan American, gave 5000
francs, the largest individual sub
scription. Joseph A. Bailey, the circus
man, gave 1000 francs, while as Judge
Holme wrote at the time, the living
telescope, the dog faced boy and the
"corpulent female" as we'll as the
other freaks in the circus helped some.
Then the big benefit performance
in the Opera Comique, in Paris, in
which the greatest artists in France
participated, which was so successful,
contributed to help the fund.
Judge Holme is retired New
Yorker, 45 years old. He calls him
self IAN old Tammany man." as ho

tus Van Wyck on the bench of the
