forth Alice's laughing challenge. From
that moment Mr.. Remington" as he
was dubbed by the two bachelor maids,
held a new interest. He might mean
toothsome cake or a box of candied
fruit
Alice edited the woman's page of an
afternoon paper and occasionally went
down town Oh the same car as did the
man of the typewriter. Beyond these
infrequent encounters fate did nothing
to hasten a settlement of the wager
until a sudden cold snap arrived and
Frances, returning from the art school,
slipped and almost fell on the icy side
walk.
Feeling a strong grip on her arm, she
looked up to meet the magnetic gaze
of Mr.. Remington.
NO damage done, is there" he ask
ed cheerily.
She WINGED as she took a step for
ward.

her white lips. IF l am not mistaken.

"Four-ninety- two," she assented, ''if
you will be SO good"
1t was pleasant to lean on the strong
arm and ease the injured ankle. He
helped her carefully up the stairs, and
Alice fairly gasped when she met them
in the tiny private hall.

the door in the hall below slammed

at the sufferer. I'm sure it's nothing

The next afternoon, true to his word.
Mr.. Hooper called to inquire for the
invalid and slipped quite naturally into
the Morris chair. Drinking tea and
munching thin bread and butter, he
changed the very aspect of the room.
He sounded the masculine note their
den had lacked before.
Alice. whose bump of curiosity had
grown in journalistic circles, was
frankly inquisitive.
I'VE have often noticed you across
the way" she said. You are at your
machine so constantly that Miss Nor

coming novel"
Hooper laughed frankly. boyishly.

into an attack upon Sharp. who had in

A True Poem.

How hard it is to tell what makes a
true poem. lasting poem. When one
asks himself what it is, how many
things arise. how hard to narrow the
list down to few things. Is it beau
ty? Then what is beauty? One meets
with beautiful poems every day that he
never thinks Of or recurs to again. 1t
is certain that without one thing there
is no real poetry-genuine passion. The

sumed Elisha's offering because Elisha

A DROLL CHARACTER
"COUNSELOR" NOLAN WAS A WIT
OF THE NEW YORK BAR.

Some of the Quaint Sayings of This
Picturesque Legal Light. Who For
Years Kept Gothnm's Judges and
Lawyers Laughing.
In a book entitled 1.-THE Barrister"
Charles Frederick Stansbury has
brought together the best of the anec-
dotes of Tom Nolan, who was known
popularity among members of the New
York bar as Counselor Nolan" For
many years the counselor kept judges
and lawyers of New York laughing,
and at political conventions he was one
of the important, if not serious. attrac-
tons. The counselor was himself sui
generis. His drollery was individual.
Some characteristic stories from MIR.
Stansbury's collection are here set
down:
At a political convention a friend
asked Nolan:
Isn't it strange, counselor, that
your friend Croker, who is such a
mighty power down your way. does not
get nice political job for himself?"
The barrister drew himself up, look
ing his inquisitor over from the corner
of his eye. and then replied. with Sc
verify: "'Tis a peanut brain you have,
Clancy. to ask me that. Is there amy
job he hasn't Sot?"
Judge Horace Russell told the follow
ing story: Nolan once had a client
whose name was Mrs. Moriarity. After
her case had been placed upon the
arit ~ cd
cry day il Nolan's office with her elev-
en- witnesses. Finally the case reached
the top of the calendar. and Nolan WAS
on hand to try it. The opposing coun-
sci asked for Il DISAPPOINTMENT. Nolan
fought, THE poS.pOncmGnt with great
eloquehce. laying much stress upon the
fact that Mrs. Muriarity had been put
to enormous trouble and expense of
coming every day to his office with her
eleven witnesses. Judge Dugro, vino
was sitting. was not convinced ap-
parently by Nolan's perfervid oratory
and granted the adjournment. Then
the barrister arose.
Your honor" said he. has seen fit
to grant postponement of the case.
and. while l humbly submit to the rul-
ing of the court. yet l would like to ask
your honor to do ME personal favora"
Certainly, counselor. with pleasure"
replied Judge Dugro. What is it?'
60 you to my office" Numbered the
barrister, land inform Mrs. Moriarity
that this case has been postponed"
Witty and keen as Nolan was, hu
once in awhile got the worst of an en-
counter with witness. as the follow
ing incident illustrates:
The plaintiff, Mr.. Foley. was suing
Mr.. w. for damages sustained by care
lessness of defendant I'm allowing his
donkey to escape from his stable and

Of income, and if the recipient is, as is generally the case, of humble means, he must manage to live on an income far below that received by an office clerk. A fellowship amounting to five hun dred dollars is barely sufficient to pay board, and, as a result, it will be sought either by a novice who is engaged in postgraduate work, or one who is al- ready encountered by teaching and oth- CT pursuits. In. either case the object for which the fellowship was awarded will not be attained. The very best kind of scientific work can only be done by men who are, in the first place, well qualified for the particular line of re- search, and, second, by those who can devote their entire attention to the work. Such men must be fairly we'll provided for, and mere pittanee of five. hundred dollars will not do it. If fel- lowships are to mean anything, they should be large enough to attract the
 best men in the field, and not serve as convenient side-income to 8 post graduate student. It were far better to have fewer fellowships, each large enough to pay a good man for his work. --Philadelph Medical Journal.

FIG PROGRESS.

It has recently come to our notice that well-qualified man with considerable experience in scientific research, yho has already made important contribu-
 tions to our knowledge of physiological chemistry, was compelled to give up a fellowship, and with it his work, for the
 reason that the endowment was not enough to pay his living expenses. An
 occurrence of this kind, and it is by no
 means isolated, calls forth serious re- factions concerning the wisdom of our entire system of fellowships The ob- ject for which fellowships are provided is to stimulate. scientific research and
 attract able men to particular lines of work. It is also understood that the recipient must devote his entire time to his researches, for science is jealous mistress and does not tolerate divided
 attention. Consequently, the fellow

Two adjoining staterooms of an Atlantic steamer are shown, and while the ship is rolling on the high waves a number of peculiar acrobatic features are per- formed by the inimitable Brothers Byrne, some of which are startling The third act represents an island upon which the ship has been wrecked, and here occurs number of first-class spe- cialties, terminating with, a very amus- ing fire scene.
