chapel of the Hospital of st. John the

by fire. On visiting the ruins next day
he saw some of his poor neighbors
among the debris gathering the half

The Smilcs Ended.

A pretty American girl travelling in
England was sorely tried by the an
nOyances and stares to which she was
subjected on account of her American
"peculiarities. She went into Il shoe
shop in London to buy q pair of shoes.
and the clerk tried on innUmerable
pairs Of veritable boats as she called
them. much to the amusement of two
LngliShwOncn customers seated near
by. who regarded her through their
'starers as if she were some strange
animal in Il menagerie.
Finally the clerk said apolOgetically:
1--WE 'aven't anything narrow enough
for you, miss. You see. miss. our ladies
have wider feet because they walk so
much. miss
The two Englishwomcn smiled with
the air of superiority that she had met
for so long. and she felt she could
stand it no longer. "Do they walk on
their hands. too?' she flashed out.

scratch the heads of tigers and lions
within IL few days after they were
Slapped. Hunters of wild elephants
often crawl among herd and rub
their legs. The great brutes, although
they are on the alert, will permit the
caress and stand still until the plucky
hunter is able to slip a rope around
the leg of the animal he wishes to cap
ture.
Sin orr own country l have seen
many men who can creep to a trout
stream and gently place their hands

still until with sudden jerk it is land

II have also seen professional rat
catchers put their hands. palm upward
before Il rat hole when the ferrets were
driving them. AS il rat ran cut it
would sit still on the rat catchcr'S
hand. Then with his other hand he
would stroke it dclicately, and in three
times out Of four he would manage to
lift the rat without alarming it and
drop it into his bag.

handle the salt water blue crab, the

GRANTING A FAVOR.
Do 1t GraciOusly-Do Not Make the
Recipient Feel Cont m ptible.

DO 1t GraciOusly-Do Not Make the
Recipient Feel COntemptible.
The essence of truest kindness lies in
the grace with which it is performed.
Some men seem to discount all graft
tude, almost make it impossible, by the
way in which they grant favors. They
make you feel so small, so lnean. so in
ferior; your cheeks burn with indigna-
ton in the acceptance of the boon you
seek at their hands. You feel it is like
bone thrown at Il dog instead of the
quick, sympathetic graciOuSness that
forestalls your explanations and
valves your thanks with a smile, the
pleasure of one friend who has been fa-
vored with the opportunity to be of
service to another. The man who
makes another feel like an insect re-
clining on a redhot stove while he is
receiving Z favor has no right to ex-
pect future gratitude; he should feel
satisfied if he receives forgiveness.
Let us forget the good deeds we have
done by making them seem small in
comparison with the greater things we
are doing and the still greater acts we
hope to do. This is true generosity and
will develop gratitude in the soul Of
him who has been helped unless he is
so petrified in scltishness as to make it
impossible. Eut constantly reminding
a man of the favors he has received
from you almost cancels the debt The
care of the statistics should be his priv
ilege; YOU are usurping his prerogative
when you recall them. Merely because
it has been our good fortune to be able
to serve some one we should not act
as if we held mortgage on his immor-
tally and expect him to swing the cen.
Ser of adulaton forever in our presence.

tests away in the rear. He has cut
down his earning capacity to a low
state. He viii be very badly handi-
capped and the chances are he will be
beaten in the race OF business and of

Col. ormsby, of Emmettsburg, is
announced as candidate for the repub-
lican congressional nomination in the
tenth district in place of Judge Con-
nor. Common is making fairly good
congressman, judging from this dis
lance. He may not be great man,
but he is not weak one. He may
never become eminent, but he will be
useful and creditable. But the ambi-
ton of others cause them to ask for
recognition. Ormsby Is all right. He
is an old soldier and good, public
spirited and live man of splendid
character. He made a good showing
in his candidacy for the nomination
for governor about ten years ago.
