WASHINGTON'S MONUMENT
GRANT.

Washington is a city of monuments
and statues, some of them artistic and
noble, some of them pretentious and
Ineffective. A notable addition to the
collection will be the Grant memorial,
for which Congress has appropriated
a quarter of million dollars, and for
which Henry Merwin Shrady has COM
pleted the preliminary designs.
The central figure is a mounted
statue of the great soldier. Washing
ton runs to equestrian statues. 1t has
more of them, we believe, than any
other city in the world. This is not
commonly regarded as land in which
the favOrite popular hero is 1.-The man
on horseback but some of our earlier
sculptors seem to have delighted in
posing their subjects on prancing
Steeds. A typical instance is the Jack
son monument, representing the mil
liant Tennesseean balanced on a horse
whose uplifted hoofs perennially paw
the breeZeS of Lafayette square. When
Thackeray, sightseeing in Washing
ton, was asked to admire this porten-
tious production, he ventured to in
Quire: But where are the rockers?"
1t could hardly be doubted, however,
that the soldier who finished the Civil
war should be portrayed on horseback,
and Mr. Shrady's design is in excel
lent taste, besides being a very faith
full and characteristic portrait of
Grant. 1t was accepted by the COM
mission in charge of the work after
most exacting competition had been
held, with more than twenty of the
leading American sculptors AS contest
ants. Mr.. Shrady's thoroughly kell-
earned success was made doubly re-
markable by the fact that he is a very
young man, self-taught in his art, and
employed in a match factory nutil
about three years ago. He is a son of
the well-known New York physician,
DR.. George F. Shrady-who, by GU
riOus coincidence, was General Grants
doctor and close personal friend.

HE NEEDED NO MORE REWARD.

Caroline Earle White. the president
of the Women's Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aai-
mails, distributes three costly medals
every year to the three men who have
done the kindest. bravest deeds in ami
mails behalf during the twelve-month.
Mrs. White makes a brief address
at these distributions, and what she
says is always interesting At a re-
cent distribution she told a story.
There is certain society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals in
France" she said. "Men visit it each
year to apply for the medal it gives
annually. Its president is a joker
"One day a peasant came to this as
sociatiOn and laid claim to the medal.
What have you done to deserve
it?' asked the president

\ REFORM MOVEMENT AND IT'S

(From the New York Times.D

Once upon a time a noble woman
young and beautiful, married a man
to reform him. He understood that tt
was going to be done, and, knowing
that he needed reform, accepted the
program with great enthusiasm. But
at the end of six months friend of the
bride met her and asked her how she
was getting along. She sighed
Il regret to say" she replied, "that
the course of events has not quite JUS
titled my expectations. In New York
/, is very hard to keep a man from
taking drink, especially on Sunday
But reform takes tibe. [ am still
hopeful"
AT thet end of another six months.
her friend again met her and asked
her how she was getting along Again
she sighed.
Draw poker and horseracing," she
said, present problems which we re
formers have not yet been able to
solve. However, l am proud to say
that L have succeeded in making nv

would reject the reform program bv

A LITTLE STORM IN A TEACUP.
(From the New Orleans Picayune.)

Characters: Guy Fenton, engag-
ed to Miss Grey. Mrs. Grey, Cher
mother).
Scene: Inside a carriage driving
home from a dance.
Time: 2.30 a. m.
Miss Grey sits opposite Fenton, with
a boquet of flowers on her knee.
Mrs. Grey leans back in the corner
asleep.
Guy-Delightful, was it not? Good
floor, excellent supper and any num-
Der of pretty girls.
Ethel didn't enjoy it.
Guy, (sarcastically,)- )-Indeedi Not
even while dancing with Captain Ell?
Appearances are sometimes deceptive
Ethel was bored more than you
can guess.
Guy-And yet you seem to have
found his conversation sufficiently en-
crossing to keep him by your side most
of the evening.
Ethel Gushing il never wish to
see or speak of Captain Ell again.
Guy Cwildly), Even supposing
Captain Ell proved unsatisfactory, you
didn't apear to be in want of partners
Ethel, (dolefully)-The man | wish
ed to dance with forgot to ask me- and
(passiOnately) surely one has a right
to expect ones fiance to claim at least
heve 1 was engaged to you; that was
why.
Guy, (interrupting savagely) Your
engagement sits so very lightly on
you, that l am not at all surprised
You insisted on carrying another mans
flowers; |, therefore, gave you the op-
portun1ty OF enjoying his society as
we'll as his gift.
CThe flowers fall to the ground and
Fenton handing them to Miss Grey,
says, ironically):
Il hope they are not hurt, as you
prize them so highly
Ethel (defantly)|I didn't value
them. You can throw them out of the
window if you wish.
Guy (sarcastically,)- Mot for the
world You must keep them as a SOU
Venir of happy hours spent.
Ethel, (tearfully)-O won't you
understand that | only insisted on car
rylng them because they matched this
gown you are so fond Of

a batch of sea-sicli passengers who
look askance at each other, wondering
who will be the first to give the signal
to succumb.

him, as usual, | can't say"
| did not consider it advisable to in
form this honored colleague of mine
that the bag to which he alluded was
tucked away in a hayrick, where | had
bestowed it only few minutes before,
and that the owner of the article was
lying on the railway line with his
brains on the wrong side OF his head, so
/ contented myself by replying that l
had seen no one after | had left Leigh.
The man at the door inclined his
head gravely in acknowledgment, but
said no further word, and for some
quarter of an hour we stood there with
out speaking. Except for our breath
ing and the ticking of our watches,
there was q silence which every mo-
more aggressive. To my overwrought
nerves it seemed singing with disas-
ter. 1t was like a brooding presence,
ominous of evil, and soon-what with
the fetid air and the heat of the place
| began to feel light-headed, and could
have sworn that this same silence had
slowly begun to gyrate around me, like
a gigantic wheel that increased in mo-
mentum with every revolution. Nor

would-be-sober beetle, gravely wheel
ing homeward from some seductive
beetle-haunt, blundered against a win
dow pane-as a drunkard who, vowing
that he can walk straight, reels against
a tavern door-the whole six of us
jumped like startled cats at the sound
of his horny tap.

LIKE a DISTANT HILL.

Success is like Il far-on hill,
Serenely wreathed in mellow haze;
1t looms there, dim and distant, still
When. after many trying days,
With waning hopes and shattered will,
We lift cur weary heads and gaze.
And like the fa:-off hill that through
The softeuing haze shows gentle slopes,
The clouds oft hide 1t from his view
That in the darkened valley gropcs;
The road winds much in leading to
The height whereon he sets his hopes.
The hill that looms before us, far
Away across the misty space,
Shows not gap nor break to mar
The even beauty of its face
But when we reach 1t many a scar
And cleft its rough sleeps intcrlace.
Success is like the hill we see
Far off, where mighty rivers spring,
And few that reach 1t wait for free,
Fair days the future is to bring;
1t will not come to US, tbs we

The bishop of London whose work
in the East End extended over many
years, recently said that spice rather
than sugar characterizes the speech
Of the children of the slums, while the
reverse is true of the West End little
ones. To make his point the bishop
told this story.
Some years ago." said he, 81
preached one Sunday in West End
church. In the course of the sermon
a small girl, who had her own ideas of
entertainment, began to talk aloud.
80 mummy, she said, I'm awful
tired. Can't the bishop go back to
Heaven now"
THAT was not all sugar, to be sure "
the bishop continued. ''It may have
been a left-handed compliment. But
no child in the East End ever thought
| had come from Heaven"
Then, after a pause, the bishop added,
reflectively:
"They knew me too well. perhaps" "

of the place and date of the meeting,
to attend which was then on my way.
AS the reader knows, | had taken it
from the pocket of the dead man
whom | was personating, and when
realized what document it was, | knew
that the sight of it would bring mat
ters to a crisis.
AS yet, however, Number One had
not recognized it, for it was folded
when | took it from my pocket and held
it out to him.
mo, thank you, my friend" he said
with an ugly smile. It's very kind
of you to wish to take me into your
confidence in regard to your private
papers. You have no doubt over
looked the trifling fact that if | took
that paper into my hand to open it,
my attention would be withdrawn from
your agreeable self. Not that you
would take any unfair advantage of
my pre-occupation, / am sure. But
somehow this little bit of cold steel
with which | am cooling your heated
brow seems to have so beneficial in
late your faculties and to render you
SO willing and obliging-that | should
be sorry to deprive you of its influence
Perhaps you will favor me by opening
that paper and holding it out before
you, so that | can read it without hav-
ing to remove this little plaything
from your forehead. No, wait a mo-
ment. | think We'll have a bigger tar

any chance to jerk aside while | am
engaged, | might miss you when | pull
the trigger, and get into trouble with
the railway company for damaging the
paddlngs OF the carriage. Sit still
now, while | shift the popgun."
So saying, he slowly lowered the re-
volver till it was between my eyes.
Then he brought it down the bridge
of my nose until it was over my mouth,
and | could smell burnt powder, and
thence he let it travel down my chin
and my neck till it was pressing
against my breast-bone.

of it would, as | have already said

Nor was | mistaken, for the start
which he gave when he set eyes on il

TOM REEDS DOG STORY.
Statesmen Used to Tell of What
Happened to Animal Which At
tackled Kansas Cyclone.

Congressman Vandivers refusal to
run fer governor of Missouri against
Mr.. Folk, because he does not want to
run against a cyclone" says the Kan
sas City Star, serves to recall the late
Thomas b. Reeds story Of the Kansas
dog that did tackle a cyclone. You
See," Speaker Reed used to say, "a
family from the east moved into Kan
sas, and they didn't know much about
cyclones. They had a dog, fresh,
innocent pup, bred in the effete and
MINDLESS east. One day cyclone came
along. The folks scooted for the cy-
clone cellar, but the dog, being an
eastern product, didn't understand. He
hailed the advent of the cyclone with
joyous baTks and started off to tackle
clone did business with that dog, which
charged down upon it with open jaws,
the dog was blown plumb inside out
1t was a dickens of a predicament for
the dog. After the cyclone passed
along and the old folks came out of the
cellar, they found the dog there, pic
turesque, but of no further value as a
dog. The farmer surveyed the dog
ruefully. He was good dog and he
hated to lose him. Then the foolish
ness of the dog struck him, and he said
wrathfully: There, drat ye; that's
what comes of keepin' your mouth
open in the face of storm"

Some Small Realms.

In four hours and 40 minutes,
says a Berlin geographer, a person
can walk across the territories of seven
German states. Start at Steinback, in
Bavaria, he explains, and go next to
Lichtentanne, in Sake -Meiningen. This
journey will occupy half an hour, and
in another hour and a half you will
arrive at Rauschengesses, which is in
the principality of Reuss. After walk
ing for another 40 minutes you will
reach Gleima, in the duchy of Rudolf
stadt, and half an hour later you win
find yourself in territory belonging
to the younger branch of the Ruess
house. Leaving that point you will
next arrive at Drognitz on Prussian
territory, and if you continue to walk
for another half hour you will find
yourself in the duchy of Altenburg.-

peated, doggedly.
"'Twon't dol" he said, decisively.
But come, I'll give you a chance.
You say you are Councillor Number
Seven. What's his real name, them"
This was a poser which | tried to
evade by answering his question with
another question:
Didn't you tell me yourself at the
last meeting of the council on board
the yacht that the names Of the differ
ent members were kept secret?"
so that's how the land lies, is it?"
he said, with a whistle You were
concealed on that yacht, were you?
You were a brave man and a bold one,
my friend, to have put your head into
that den of lions. 1t seems a pity to
spill such brains as yours for nothing

about you for myself. since you won't

don't forget that the revolver is at your
forehead all the time, and ct the first
