the hitherto mute instrument for the
first time waited forth such heavenly

sweetness that the congregation was
thrilled as if by the music of angels.
As the mass advanced the more mar
velous became. the harmony. The
"Agnus" was 50 plaintive that 1 saw
tears in the eyes of Gluck, who stood
by me, and the "Sanctus" sounded so
triumphantly that it required but little
imagination to believe the Cherubim
and Seraphim were indeed singing
their jubilant song of praise. "Holy,
Holy is the Lord God of Sabaoth!''
But where was the Man in Blue?
Standing by the altar, with his face
turned towards his organ. His ex-
preston was one of supreme happiness
and peace. His spectacles had fallen
from his beautiful but nearly sightless
eyes, and tears of joy were running
down his sunken cheeks. His homely
features seemed transfigured.
When divine service was over, the
congregation passed round into the
porch to see the great composers.
Long live Bach!'' "Hail, Gluckv'
they cried, as they recognized these
popular men. But Bach held aloof.
LEAD me- he cried, "to that man OF
genius who has so wonderfully i'm
proved the king of instruments.
"Master," I cried, "he is in the
church." And so we re-entered the
sacred edifce together, followed by
Graun. 1 led them to the Man in
Blue. What change had come over
him! He had collapsed on a bench,
and the pallor of death was on his
brow. When he perceived US he en-
deavored to rise.
"Ah! excuse me, my masters. l re.
ceive you very poorly, but I am not
we'll; the joy has killed me. l am
dying of sheer happiness.
They raised him between them while
l ran for the priest, shutting the church
door as l went out, to prevent intru-
sion.
"Master, l am dying-play to me, }"
he begged. Bach, seeing that mortal
aid was vain, left us and went up to
the organ loft. Solemnly be played
as he had never done before. The
priest came, and Graun and I knelt
down whilst the Man in Blue received
the last Sacrament. When this pious
act was accomplished, we came nearer
to him. He took my hand, and Graun
rested his head upon his own breast.
Solemnly the music stole through the
silent church, solemnly the sunlight
streamed through the stained windows,
and the Angel of Death stood within
the temple of God.
II am very happy" murmured the
dying man, "since Bach plays to me
on my organ and Graun allows me to
rest my dying head on his bosom"
Turning to me, he said gently, "God
bless thee, my child; tell them I am
neither mad nor an impostor. My or
gan had a SOUL"
Graun bent over him and kissed his
brow, and with an exquisite look of
gratitude for this act of sympathy and
respect he died, and the Angel of
Death winged his way back to Heaven,
bearing the soul of the poor Man in
Blue to God.-Richard Dauey, in Cas-
sells Magazine.

CHILDREN'S BODILY DE-
FECTS.

DR.. Andrew Wilson says that one OF
the most important facts which the
study of children's defects by physi-
clans has elected is that such defects
are mostly curable-that is, if they
are taken in time. The use of appro-
pirate spectacles, for example, will
correct eye defects, save the child
from headache and eye strain, and give
it fair chance to see properly, and
thus to gain its education as do chill
dren with natural eyes. Allow the de-
fects to remain unattended to and
things grow worse, 80 that later on the
case may be altogether beyond aid at all.
With the ears the case is even
stronger, for their cure is possible only
when in the early days Of an ailment
advice is sought. Every case of ear
discharge, common after measles and
scarlet fever, should be invariably seen
to by a surgeon. If such cases are
allowed to proceed untreated, not only
is the drum of the ear likely to be de-
stroyed and hearing lost, but cold or
chill affecting such an ear may produce
inflammation of the brain and death.
If it is only for the sake of the chill
dren's happiness and freedom from
pain, apart from all educational con-
siderations, we should see that these
ailments of eyes and ears are corrected.

A Dollar for a Kiss.

On the Kronprinz Wilhelm one moon
light night young man and a girl were
discovered making love. The news OF this
discovery spread among the passengers.
and many Il joke was cracked. But Sena-
tor N. B. Scott, of West Virginia, said in
the smoking room:
There is nothing to laugh at here. In
aocent love-malling is natural in the
young. This fact was well brought out
by an adventure that happened to a friend
of mine years ago in the mountains of
West Virginia.
1.-The young man was hunting. He
came to lonely cabin, and, being thirsty,
he knocked at the door for drink. The
drink was handed to him by girl SO
charming that, with smile, he said
Would you be angry if | should offer
you a dollar for kiss?
mo, SIR the girl answered, with a
little blush.
so my friend took the kiss, and then
ne gave the maiden the dollar She bal
anced it in her hand a moment. She knit
ted her pretty brows in perplexity.
What she asked. shall l do with all
this money!"
why, anything you please, my dear, =
said my friend.
Then" she murmured II think I'll give
it back to you and take another kiss

OLD NEGRO BELOVED
BY sen. TILLMAN,
This negotiating States
man Shows a Very Human
Side of His Nature.

Senator Tillman has given the country
something new to talk about. In his re-
cent speech on the race question he UNI
consciously showed a glimpse of his per-
sonality that took even his colleagues by
storm.
To prove that he was not prejudiced
against the negro he went to his own
home for an illustration, and with force
tul simplicity told the Senate and gall
leries what he thought of his farm hand
Joe.
Il don't know whether Joe belongs to
me, or I belong to Joe. Anyhow, we
have been together for thirty years, and
VIC have agreed to keep together to the
end-and should 1 be the first to leave,
I know that no tears shed for me will be
more sincere than Joe's."
AS he told of the faithfulness of his
negro hand the statesman was lost in
the planter.
The man with the pitchfork had be-
come the man with the hoe.
And as the words rang out, vibrant with
unstudied emotion, his listeners, friends
and antagonists alike, felt the magnet
ism that has won for the aggressive
Carolinian the loyalty of his people and
the highest honors of his State.
Because Of his speech the see-saw of
public sentiment has elevated Senator
Tillman to the heights of popular favor.
and way down in the fields of Carolina
black farm laborer named Joe Gibson is
tasting the glory of fame.
1t was to know more about this Joe
that a representative of Tho North
American called at Senator Tillman's
Washington home. 1t was just after
nine in the morning, but the, family was
ready for the engagements of the day.
Mrs Tillman had on her wraps for
shopping expedition, but graciously de-
layed her departure to assist in the
praises of Joe. The Senator was polite
and that was ALL
He is a great, big man, with a voice
like a church organ, He looks as If
Nature had blocked him out of God
Almighty's best material but failed to
chsel him down. And that's the way he
acts.
