SeeInp the Baby.

Sir Frederic Leighton, the English
painter, was as devoted to children as
any mother Of a family. One day he
called at the house Of young painter
and announced, In his high. musical
voice:
"I have come to see the last baby"
The child was brought In, and Sir
Frederic took 1t from the arms of the
proud mother. He kissed it, and Their
said:
81 must see those feet!'
The baby's socks were instantly
taken of.
ooh, what lovely pink toes!' criec
the artist. ''They are quite Greek
They are perfect"
This was in a tone Of rapture, ane
later he said to the father, impress
lively:
johnny, you must paint those dea
little legs and feet. Work hard al
day at drawing, modelling and painting
and at night dream of your art. Ho'
must concentrate yourself In you
work. You must live in 1t. That'
why those grand old boys, the old mas
tiers, were so great"

LIncoIn's Defense.

Lincoln's greatest legal triumph was
the acquittal Of an old neighbor named
Duff Armstrong, who was charged with
murder. Several witnesses testified
that they saw the accused commit the
ded one night about IL o'clock. Lin
coin attempted no cross-eXamination,
except to persuade them to reiterate
their statements and to explain that
they were able to see the act distinctly
because Of the bright moonlight. By
several Of the prosecuting witnesses
he proved the exact position and size
of the moon at the time Of the murder
The prosecution there rested, and Lin
coin, addressing the court and the jury
announced that he had no defense tt
submit except an almanac, which
would show that there was no moor
on that night. The states attorney
was para -,zed, but the court admitted
the almanac as competent testimony
and every witness was completely I'm
peached and convicted Of perjury. Tit
verdict was not guilty.

Inc flooring makes discussing If we little

dear mamma
HAD best be reused up from her bed, to
see just how we are.
Inc rustlings in the wall we hear are
whispers of the news
That Upstairs tells to Downstairs when
Downstairs has the blues.
For below it's very lonesome when we're
all up here in bed,
SO Upstairs tells to Downstairs every
thing we last have said.
The squeaking in the hallway and the
cracking on the stair
Are Just the timbets trying to be very
silent there.
You know how tits yourself when you
are anxious to be good;
You're always making noises that you
never meant you should.
Thus the dear old house is waiting al
through the quiet night,
And watching for the dawn to show ou1
faces fresh and bright.

goes to prove
That we are guarded close by things tina
hold US in their love.

They were out in the cool little
dairy. Grandma was making butter,
and Barty was looking on.
II must certainly have a new butter

Of the big wooden paddle" She was
working the buttermilk out Of the soft
golden mass, and working the salt in.
"I'll div you one, gamma, on your

bench at once and go and buy 1t, but
he wanted to see grandma spat, spat'

little salt drops kept scattering across
into his face and making him wink!
Pretty soon the golden butter was all

she hurried away to get the worn-ou'

Russian Ignorance.

Recently an American travelling In
Russia who had neglected to provide
himself with a passport when he ar
rived at the borders Of the Cars do
mains was held up by an official with
q demand for his passport. For an in
slant the American was stumped, but
so the story goes, he quickly rose to
the emergency. Diving into his inside
pocket, he pulled out his life insurance
policy and handed 1t to the Russian
The latter gravely looked the paper
over, carefully scrutinizing the impos
ing-looking seal and the array Of sig
natures. Then, with a satisfied air
he handed back the paper, and the
American passed on.

ments In this town, says the New York
Sun. Only the other day forty young
men gave up their places here and
started for the West. Some Of them
had enough money to pay their fare
ali the way, some had enough to nav
1t part OF the way and expect to use
their wits to carry them the rest of
the journey.
Three young men called at the Office
OF the Sun the other day and asked
for information about the best part Of
the farming district to go to. Ali three
had been employed as statesmen in the
wholesale dry goods district, and In
response to questions as to why they
were willing to give up places In New
York to take Jobs on western farms
at small pay and limited time Of en-
ployment, they said that It was be-
cause New York was 80 crowded with
young men seeking advancement that
there was little or no chance for the
average man to get ahead.
There's lot Of us fellows I'D In the
dry goods district who were born and
brought UP here in New York, and we
have made up our minds that there is
better chance for US outside of New
York than there Is in it," said the lead
er Of the party to the Sun reporter.
Every young man born outside Of
New York hustles into the city as soon
as he gets old enough to take a job.
1--WE think the thing for us to do is
to 60 out into the country these fell
lows have left, and take the chances
they have thrown away in their anx-
iety to break into the metropolis. We
may be wrong, but we're going to give
1t chance, and we're not going to quit
until we have worked every opportu-
nifty between the farming district,
where we are going first, clear to the
coast"
Inquiry in the dry goods district by
a Sun reporter revealed the fact that
almost all of the big houses have lost
young men owing to the present craze
to 60 West. The head of one firm
told the reporter that the average
Of pay in the mercantile lines was
small for young men because many big
jobbing houses were gradually goini
Tout of business ON account Of the ten
dency to abolish the middleman, the
young men in these houses were par
ticularly susceptible to temptations tt
try their luck In other places.
"When the Klondike craze came on,
he said, Hundreds Of young men lief
the dry goods district, and now thert
is every indication that this demand
for farm hands in the West Is goint
to take scores Of others.
II cannot say that blame tn
youngsters at all for the opportuni
ties for young men in the wholesal
dry goods lines are not what they use'
to be. One thing can say about tn
youngsters from the dry goods distric
who are going West, and that Is tina
they are a bright lot Of young hustler
, and that If there are any chances on
there In the West, they will improV
them"

Horseback Ridinx In Peking.

In Pekin, for some reason, the horse
is not in especially high favor, possibly
because Of the high price Of a good
mount and the low price Of donkeys'
At any rate, the great middle classes,
who are reasonably prosperous, are
wont to go about the city mounted on
stolid little donkeys which only upon
the rarest occasions can be tempted to
move at q faster gait than a walk
The most humorous phase of 1t all,
however, is that the self-satisfled Chin
aman does not realize what ridicu'
lous figure he cuts with his legs dang
ling on each side OF the donkey.
