One idea of Justice.
(Rrooklvn Eagle.l

The youngster had got hold of a news
paper, and it just naturally happened that
the first thing to catch his eye was an
account of crime. The offender, it said
had been traced to a certain neighbor-
hood, where all track of him had been
lost.
Il wouldn't like to live there" said the
youngster.

you be afraid of meeting him."
"Oh. no." answered the youngster, "but
l wouldn't want to be locked up
''Whv should you be locked up?"
why they know that somebody in
that neighborhood did it, don't they?"
Certainly"
Then of course. they'll lock up every
body there until they find out who it Isl
The father laughed.
You have strange ideas of Justice he
said. They've got to find the right one
and lock him up. They can't lock up
everybody who lives in the same dis
trict."
"They can't?''
Certainly not. That would be unjust
and against the law"
Say said the youngster. 81 wish
somebody would come over to our school
and say that"
"Why?"
"'Cause what amt fair for grown-up
people oughtn't to be fair for boys

MADE BY TAILOR RESIDENT.
A Freedom Suit" Made by Andrew
johnson.

Do boys of this generation know what
a freedom suit is? In the old days. a
boys twenty-first birthday-the day
when he struck out for himself-was re-
garded as an important one; His father
or his master if he had been appren-
tced sent him forth with at least one
possession essential to a fair start in life
"a good suit of clothes This was the
young mans freedom SUIT. The Jackson
Qnd) Clarion Ledger tells of respected
old man in that state, who has been
sheriff and has served in the legisia-
ture. whose freedom suit was made by
man afterward president of the Unit
ed states. He was brought up in Ten
nessee, in the town of Greenville. This
is how he tells the story of his suit:
About fortnight before attaining my
majority my father told me to go TO
Andy Johnson's and pick out the best
piece of cloth in his shop for suit or
clothes. That, he said, will be about
the last thing l can do for you. You re
man now. and must shift for yourself.
l shifted to Indiana a year later.
That suit was of dark brown broad
cloth-a sWallow-tailed coat with PLAIN
metal buttons on 1t. a very wide collar
OF velvet to match, and wa1stcoat
loose enough for two of me. l can see
Andy now, as he stood me up on the
block to measure me for my trousers
big. flabby face, swarthy skin, heavy
eyebrows, and a forbidding Scowl. That
was in the winter of 1892. and Andrew
Jackson was president. Andy. the tailor,
never dreamed, as he pressed off that
suit of mine and gathered in his S29 for
it, that he would himself follow Jack
son into the White House thirty-three
years later.
my suit wore well, and I was mar
ried in it in 1896 1t served me for Sun
day 'dress-u' until 1 got too stout to but
ton it about me-"

! continuation of her own prophetic ut
terance when selected by God to be-
{ come mother of the Messiah: From
| heneeforth all generations shall cal
me blessed 1t is honoring her be-
cause of her exalted position as mother
of Jesus. An angel assures her that
! she has been favored in heaven, is full
of grace, and blessed among women
The reward of her virtuous life is the
selection to become the mother of the
future Savior. All her dignity and
grandeur comes from her close con-
nection with Jesus as mother.
Luther in 1851, one year after he
protested against the Catholic church,
wrote: ITO be the mother of God is a
prerogative so high, so immense, as to
surpass all understanding. There is
no honor, no beatitude capable of APP
preaching an elevation which consists
in being. of the whole human race, the
sole person, superior to all others, UNI
equaled in the prerogative of having
one common Son with the Heavenly
Father. In this unique word. there
fore, is contained all honor for Mary,
and no one could sound her praises in
more splendid terms had he tongues
as numerous as the flowers and blades
of grass upon earth the stars in
heaven, and grains of sand in the sea-"
Christian faith in every age has been
enlivened by devotion to the mother of
its divine founder Whilst it never ex-
ats her dignity beyond that of a crea-
ture, yet it represents her as the mas
terpiece of all created beings. Her lit
any of praises recalls her many virtues,
and every appeal to her is as an in
tercessor to obtain spiritual favors
from her divine son. All objections, to
the position of the Catholic church in
sanctioning devotion to her arise from
a misunderstanding of what she
teaches. Sounding the praises of
good, devoted mother is always pleas
ing to a loving child. Why should
Jesus be an exception? Favors are
readily granted by the child when a
fond mother asks. In this light only
is an appeal made to Mary by Catho-
lies. She could not forgive the small
est sin, but could ask her son to blot
out many sins She could appeal to
Him to soften the heart of the prod
igal by His grace so that he may re-
turn to his Fathers house.
May devotions consist in singing her
praises, asking her Son, through her
intercession, to bestow on all who are
separated from Him, either through
want of faith, or sin, the gift of faith,
or the grace of conversion What
could be more laudable? 1t is a zeal
Gus desire that all mankind should be
united with God and attain their end, |
namely, infinite happiness.

He Bided His Time.

Newark, n. j.. Evening News.)
There lived, one time, shiftless chap,
who wasn't satisfied;
To settle down and plug along he never
could abide,
He felt the fire OF greatness burn within
his eager breast
And knew himself cut out for deeds the
highest and the best.
His spirit fairly fumed and frothed at
cruel Fates restraint;
OF favorless environment he ever made
complaint,
But some fine day, he used to say, I'll set
the world Attire;
It's not for me unknown to be when do
SO aspire.
Each day our hero might have found
some labor to pursue,
On every hand stood waiting work for
willing hands to do;
The neighborhood wherein he dwelt had
crying need of men
To NOW the lawns, for instance, and to
be at the rugs-but then
A man so meekly conscious of his real.
inward worth,
Could hardly care to tackle toll so tainted
of the earth.
And so, to pass the time away, until his
chance should come,
Me boarded with his mother when he
wasn't drinking rum.
No doubt, good-natured reader, you opine
and apprehend,
That this vain, shiftless person met a
mean and sorry end,
The facts are these: He waited till the
time, for us so sad,
When wagons run with gasolene became
the reigning fad.
A sudden, wild demand arose for drivers
men with cheek.
And Shifty got a handsome job at fifty
bones a week.
The people stare whereer he goes; he's
gained his great desire,
And every day he sets the world, or part
of it, Attire.

RoBsoN's "REMINISCENCES.
His Earliest Recollections of Laura
Keene.
New York Times.N

! Stuart Robson was in a reminiscent
mood the other night. and during an in

! entertained several visitors to his dress

with whom he played in the eos.
She was one of the most intelligent
women ever met, he said. land vet her
most pronounced characteristic was one
that is often associated with ignorance
| She was superstitious to an absurd de-
| gree. She never allowed her actors to
take hold of a chair with the right hand !;
to study a part on Sunday was unpardon-
able in her eyes, and to carry an umbrella
with hook handle meant discharge if
THE sight of a bottle of red ink was
enough to upset her for week. On one
occasion we were playing a farce called
| THE Lady and the Devil" An important
scene of it was when she was sitting at
table preparatory to writing a letter I,
as her servant. stood at the back of
chair. Take your right hand off that
chair, she whispered. The stage dialogue
proceeded.
You are sure you can find Don Rafael
at his lodgings?'
" Yes, madam; his servant tells me his
wounds will confine him to his bed for
week
Where is the ink?
" Here, madam and 1 bent forward
to place the ink within her reach. when,
in my confusion at her reproof. the YES
sci was upset and its contents trickled
was blood red. 1 shall never forget the
CHASTITY look that overspread her face
and 1 was so frightened that 1 never
knew how the scene ended.
THE next morning at rehearsal she
told me that l was doomed to ill-luck for
the remainder of my days She called the
company together and gave them a de-
tailed description of the awful scene the
night before occasioned by the young
man who would never make an actor She
told of a terrible dream she had had. in
which some great person had been foully
murdered before her eyes; how she had
attempted rescue without avail: how he
had fallen dead at her feet. and how his
blood slowly oozed into her lap.
1T was two years after this that Miss
keene was playing at FOrd's theatre
Washington, on the occasion when Abra-
ham Lincoln was shot. Miss Keene was
the only person who seemed to realize the
situation. She ran to the box, and in a
moment the head of the dying man was
in her lap, while the scene of her dream
was being pitifully enacted"
