CURIOUS SCENE IN GENOA.
A Street Where the Suns Light Is
O3scurcd by Drying Clothes.

O3scurcd by Drying Clothes.
One OF tie most curious scenes Ill
all Ital: is to be found in the laun-
dresses quarter in Genoa. This quar-
ter consists of Il Snort street which Is
reached by descending q few steps
branching off from the main thorough
fare. Buildings of six stories rise on
each side of the street, and from eV-
cry one of their windows is stretched
one or more clOtheSlincS sagging with
the weight of apparel Of every kind
and condition. An eternal shadow cast
by hundreds of drying garments hangs
over this quarter and makes 1t dark
md gloomy. The pedestrian who looks
upward toward the blue sky can Sc"
nothing but cloud of varicgated Shap"
and color which effectively obScurcS
the light of the sun.
In the center of the street below
there stand in u sort Of summer house
a number of public tanks. Crowds o.
shrill voiced women gather day by day
about this out of door laundry to OK
change the gossip of the quarter and
wash out their piles of soiled linen.
From the appearance of the lines which
stretch and intertwine far above the
pavement it is TO be judged that all the
washing that is done in Genoa ut all
is done in this particular strcct.-De-
troit Free Press.

GENTLE WOMAN WON.
Successfully She Defied Both Motor

Said That Car Should Stop for Her in Middle of Block, and Stop 1t Did -Left with Proud "I ToId-
 You-So."

ID say you shall stop in the middle of the block!" she shouted, shaking her fist in the face of the stolid motor man.
 But it's agin the rules," pacifcally he argued.
 What do I care about your rules," she said, angrily. T want to get off in the middle of this block"
 The motorman was getting red in the face, and he answered viciously: "WeH, you cant git off in the middle of this. block, so shut your face"
 By this time, says the New York Times, all the passengers in west bound trolley car on One Hundred and Twenty fifth street the other after noon were eagerly watching the oppo- nents. The gentlemen whose heads had been buried in their newspapers emerged with alacrity from the print ed depths. One mild-mannered cler- ical-lo oking man with a hunted gleam in his blue eye tentatively bet "a nickel on the lady" The conductor, stand ing in the center of the car, became so interested in the controversy that in his abstraction he quite forgot to ring up a couple of fares. That over sight passed unnoticed, however, for all eyes were centered on the woman and her antagonist.
 She stood on the platform beside the mot torman, and her hair was blowing under the large straw hat that the wind was tugging vigorously to un- fa@ten. Her skirts were fiuttering madly, but she stood firm as rock.
 "You won't stop, did you say?" she said, maliciously. 'FWell, then, you'll lose your hat, all right!" and, suiting the deed to the threat, she pulled his cap angrily from his hs>. But the Lord was on the side of duty, and the hat, instead of falling on the street, as

MY SHIP FROM SPAIN.

captain. on whose wYiakled cheeks
 Are marks of storm and beating gale, 6aave you not seen on distant seas,
 somewhere, a glimpse of stranger sail Perchance when evening shadows fell. And misty clouds presaged the night, Uplifteds on some crested wave,
 Then slipping slowly from the sight? Ny ship should have a sheen of gold,
 And silken sails like bridal train, And bear a perfume, faintly sweet, Of roses on the hills of Spain. Youth promised me long years ago
 This ship would sometime come to me. and bear It's Jade of wealth and fame, From distant lands beyond the sea. tt has not come I know not why,
 It may have sought this port in vains NAnd in some unknown harbor lie,
 And idly fret it's rusting chain. Meanwhile, I've beat the anvils faces
 And felt the heated furnace blast, And wealth of brawn and honest toll
 Into 1ife's circling currents cast. I've climbed the headland morn and eve. To scan the dark horizon line, To catch a glimpse far, far at sea,
 Of this belated ship of mine. Full threescore years have fled awaN
 And still patient watch and wait; My whitening hair and feeble steps
 Suggest that 1t may come too late. For what Is wealth to him who dies,
 Or honor in the hour of pain? The Lethe for the i'll of years Was never borne by ships from Spain. eH. G. Leslie. in Youths Companion.

A Fool and His Money.

The spirit of self-denying charity de- rives it's inspiration from a higher sphere, but, all the same, in this practi- cal world of ours, actions speak louder than words. This is illustrated by the following incident. In certain Louis vile Sunday school there had been in- augurated the practice of the children quoting some Scriptural text as they dropped their pennies into the contri- button box. On the first Sunday little shaver walked up and said: "The Lord loveth cheerful giver," and in dropped his penny. Charity covereth multi tude of sins" and in dropped the next. Ut is more blessed to give than to re- ceive," quoted the third, and so on. Just then up walked q little fellow with tbe unmistakable remnants of mo- lasses candy on his chubby face, and as he dropped his cent he bawled out: "A fool and his money are soon parted"

other day from his home. He crossed the Tenth street ferry and reached the Bowery on cross-town car, walk ing the nest of the distance to the store.
 Instead of passing through the pri- vate hall to the rear office, as he does usually, he entered the section where the loans are made, As he passed through the door he encountered young man who was rushing out in such a hurry that he almost knocked down the accountant. Behind the counter one of the clerks was laugh ing and holding something in his hand
 Whats the joke?" the accountant asked him.
 why" answered the clerk, "that fellow who just rushed out wanted ten dollars on this watch. He said he had bought 1t for $40. The watch is worth $25o, so I told him to wait minute until could call up the police and find out where he had got it for that insignificant sum. You saw how he waited" "Let me see that watch" said the accountant.
 He looked, then clapped his hand on his watch pocket. The pocket was empty,
 That's my watch," he said, and opening the case showed to the clerk, no less surprised than was the ac- countant, the inscription his father had had engraved on the inside cover
 The thief had picked his pocket, probably in the crowded little car, and had rushed to the pawnbroker's, beat ing him there by only minute or two.

 A certain large pawnbrokerage house which has number of separate places of business employs an expert accountant to examine it's accounts once a month. The accountant has a fine gold repeater and stop watch which was given to him by his father and for that reason is valued by him at even more than it's intrinsic value.

the woman had expected, was carried by the wind into the very center of thel car, where 1t struck the dotted waist coat of an amazed gentleman.
 Then it was time for the conductor to interfere. He strode to the front platform and mildly expostulated.
 "You go to grass!" shouted the irate female. "I want to get off in the mid dle of this block.'
 "Well, you can't, you idiot!" roared the motorman. "~'
 "Oh, can't, can't I? We'll, we'll see!" She pulled back one of the little gates and stood for second with her foot on the step. "These people in the car are witnesses that you wouldn't stop to let me off," she said, impress siveIy. Then she started to swing to the lower step.
 Stop! For Gods sake, stop!" shout ed the conductor. "Stop!" shouted all the men in the car. "Stop!" yelled a terrified woman in the rear. The con- ductor grabbed his belligerent passen- ger; the cold sweat stood in beads on the motorman's brow. straining every muscle and with tense, white face, he worked until the current was shut off, the brakes applied, the power reversed. Then the car came to sudden stand still.
 "Now, git off, darn youl" yelled the trembling motorman, and the conduc- tor, as though still fearing some fear full rashness, helped her carefully down.
 Everybody looked to see what the feminine fiend was going to do. She strengthened her hat very carefully, and, gathering up her skirts, she start ed for the sidewalk. turning to say:
 "I told you you'd stop in the middle of the block, didn't I?'
