The elderly man with the diamond
horseshoe scarfpin and the thick
soled brilliantly polished shoes, who
was sitting near the door, rolled his
unlighted cigar around in his mouth
and turned to his companion.

Babylon, between Hillel and Bagda,
according to the wonderful reports OF
Xenophon, Ammainus, Marcellinus
and Zosmius, the last mentioned find

fury vast vineyards and olive groves
throughout the land. In the time of
the early Arabian califs no fewer than
$50 cities and villages are mentioned
by name along these canals, Pllny de-
clares this to have been "the most
fruitful land in the east"
Now, on the other hand, it is a
dreary desert, the playground of the
storms and winds. In the southern
portions there are still some remnants
of the canals left but the two famous
rivers, Euphrates and Tigris. are no
longer connected, and between Bag
dad and Bassora few English steam
boats can scarcely force their way.

Folded away in a wooden cabinet
in the little church of st. Edward the
Martyr, in East 109th street, New
York, is a set of church vestments
that are probably the oldest and most
valuable garments OF the kind In
America. They date from the six
teenth century. They were purchased
in Rome by J. Pierpont Morgan from
the descendants of the prince of the
church who owned them originally.
Mr.. Morgan presented them to Ell
bridge r. Gerry, who in turn gave
them to the rector of the Church Of
St. Edward the Martyr, the Rev. Ed
ward Wallace-Neil.
The vestments consists of a cha
suble, stole, silk burse and veil. They
are made Of the finest pale gray satin,
deliberately embroidered in colors and
trimmed with gold lace. The weight
OF the embroidery and lace makes

you ran out of fuel between wooding
stations the farmers would generously
let you have supply, to be repaid

Farmers we're friendly toward the
railroad, and didn't light ON it with

The way Preston entered the judges
service was this: AS everybody knows,
the Judge is not an enthusiast for out
door sports. The only physical ex-
erclse he allows himself is horseback
riding.
He used to own a particularly fine
Kentucky saddle horse one Of the
rocking chair gated sort and SNOWY
animal besides. One morning he was
pacing along the Lake Shore drive
when middle-aged colored man who
had been stretched on the grass be-
meath one of the trees got up sudden
ly and stood bareheaded in the bride
path before him.
"Mawnin', suh," said the man with a
pleasant show of his white teeth.
Good morning" returned the
Judge. What can | do for your"
ut suhtenly is fine mawnin," said
the man, with low, melodious
chuckle.
Excuse me, sub" he continued but

Dat sho'ly is, err fine hawss. Yasser, yo'
don see a hawss like dat even day
He patted the horse on his arching
neck
ut is a fine horse" said the Judge
The negro chuckled again in HIS pc
culiar fashion. II tell yo', suh," he
said, with an air of sudden confidence

Fold summer gowns and place
In scented, cedar chest,
The screen door waist and skirt,
The hose and all the restl
Hunt madly through the house
For furs and heavy wraps,
Shake moth balls from the folds
And find the winter caps!
Bring on the thread and cloth,
The sewing girl and shears;
Get busy with the stuff
And spurn your hubby's sneersl
The time OF year has come
When you must spend lot,
FOR when you come out new
Your clothes must touch the spotl
How can Joke and sing

When even now my purse
Is fiattened like (pan) cakeY
-Four eagles for n hat
Twelve dollars for some braid,
Five extra belts at ten
How can l stand the raid?
Six twenties for the silk.
A couple more for shoes
No wonder that a man
Is cross and gets the blues!
So fold the gowns and lace,
Put fllmy things away,
Just spend and sew and rip,
And ! the bills will payl

A Perilous Ride.

It was just too lovely and romantic
for anythingl For two long, beautiful
weeks of glorious summer weather,
Bings and his wife floated down the
Wisconsin river in great, roomy
boat, camping, fishing and foraging to
vary the outing.
BY day birds sang to them from
the leafy banks, minnows darted past
in the ripples, and the nodding flow
ers along the brink made the voyage
fairy-like drift through a veritable
Eden.
And on moonlight nights, when the
stiffness was heavenly, when the
starry skies added their poetic fan
cies. when the soft and subtle moon
shed it's effulgent glow In streaks
across the way, 1t was like floating in
a dream down a river of silver!
Arriving at their little fiat, after 1t
was all over except the telling. they
retired, weary, but enthusiastic.
Yet tired as they were the psyche
logical hallucination of drifting, drift
ing, drifting pervaded their dreams.
Strangely both seemed affected. Bings
tuned restlessly in his sleep land his
uhGlf-open eyes set his quasfdrowsy
hin to strange nautical rambling.
Through the window the moon was
shining in reflected rays upon the
plate glass in the mirrored dresser. To
his befuddled brain this was naught
else than moonlight on the water
and he drifted!
At this juncture Mrs. Bings cried
out wildly in her sleep:
Dear, the rocks! The rocksl Push
off the rocks! oh, can't you stop us?
Quick! The rocks!"
Bings was prompt In action. In
his semi-awakened state, he exerted
wonderful strength, and showed
against the wall until the be-castored
bed made a sharp move to free itself
from the rapids below.
The movement awakened them
both.
ooh. mercyl what foolishness!'
gasped Mrs. Bings, here we are at
home in our owr little bedl"
"Well, I'll be jiggerOa." exclaimed
Bings, "if we haven't bad case OF
the bug"
Then he got UP, showed the bed
back against the "rocks" and got bach
into the "boat" again.
When telling of their visit to the
Dells of Wisconsin, this is an omitted
chapter-except to most intimate
friends.

and told his address. When he re-
turned home that evening Preston, In
spotless white jacket, opened the
door for him. 1t may be added that
the Milwaukee family" gave a good
account of the judges new houseman
and that he proved even better than
the account.

later, I'm not sorry, after all, that
hired you"
"Yo've got de bay ter thank TO- dat

did you ever hear of Cap. Jim Nc
Intosh?" asked an old engineer on
the N. Y. c., with whom the writer
had been permitted to take a run.
Cap. Jim is still living, or was not
long ago." continued the old man. "In
Cap. Jim's day when he was running
an engine out West, the business was
a good deal like running a steamboat.
Engines in those days were not num-
bered as now. They were named
after somebody or something Cap.
Jims engine was named the Chicka-
saw.
"It goes without saying that
with all of the advancements made
since then an engineer had to have
more good horse sense than now, for
now everything is put in his hands

business was put on the engineeD or

NEW SENATORS ARE SWORN in.
Delaware Represented in Upper House

for First Time in Two Years.
Washington March 4.-The final
defeat OF the Aldrich financial bill
was witnessed in the senate yester-
day, when it was displaced by the
Philippine tariff bill. Aldrich ex-
planned in detail his measure and said
that small number of men in the
senate had deliberately, with malice
aforethought, murdered it.
One of the features of the session
was the fact that for the first time In
two years Delaware was represented
in the senate, j. Frank Alice and l..
Heisler Ball. elected for the long and
the senate and were sworn in by
President Pro TEN Frye. Besides the
two years that Delaware had been to-
tally unrepresented in the senate
there were two years previous to
that time when there was vacancy
in one of the seats. The senate for
the first time in four years has its
full membership of ninety.
In the course of the night session,
Quay sprung surprise by Offering as
an amendment to the Philippine tariff
bill the statehood bill, which he later
withdrew, remarking chat the cir
cumstance requiring the offering of
| the amendment had collapsed" The
| conference report on the naval and
general deficiency bills were agreed
| to-
