HE WAS PHILANTHRoPlc.
Wasn't Going to Let Anybody Gc Without Parents for Want
 of a Little Change.

As he stepped out of the theater he stopped to light cigarette, and at the same moment, relates the New York Times, heard himself addressed: ::
 .'If ye please, sir, gimme something fer me little brother an sister; they're home, cold an hungry, an we ain't got no parents
 He turned and saw a diminutive girl. about 12 years old. He had seen the girl before, and had watched her play the same game. and had heard her tell the same story to people outside the theater several times, and knew it all for fake"
 He walked on
 "Jest think; no parents-ain't 1t aw- ful. sir? Them little children!" She was keeping pace with him.
 "Go home,' he said, not unkindly. "do you want to be arrested for beg ging? Go home"
 How kin I go home with nuthin' for the kids? Ahi if they only had some parents to look after lem! But dere's only me-
 He put his hand in his pocket.
 The child hastened to clinch matter with the old, tfresome wall:
 "Jest to think, sir; no parents"
 The hand emerged from the pocket, and in it was dollar bill.
 Here, little girl" he said. "I oughtn't to give you this. but what you have told me touches my heart. Take this-and buy them some parents"

Newfoundland Teens with Animal Life, and, as in Ireland, Ven-

The American who happens into New 1oundland will find innumerable causes for interest and surprise. The interior of the island is a wilderness primitive and practically unexpIored. A quaint slow, uncertain railway traversAs the heart of the island. but for 800 miles of travel over mountains, through dense forests and by the margins of salt water bays and estuaries not town is to be seen. Herds of caribou, as tame as barn yard cattle, stand staring at the passing train. From the bosom of lake and river trout and salmon are forever leaping, Brant. geese, wild ducks, grouse and many wild birds that migrate hither in the summer can be found all over the island. Here they mate and breed, and their goslings and chickg make the woods and waters vocal zail summer long. Newfoundland, like Ireland, is innocent of snakes or reptiles.

PAINTS STRIPES ON HOUSE
Tenant Decerates Home with Red, White and Blue and Landlord
 Issues New Lease.

A man recently took house upon s lease In certain crescent in London without examining the terms of his agreement as closely as he should After a time the landlord called upon him and pointed out that he was bound to do all the outside painting at cer- tain intervals. He protested, but 1t was 1.so nominated in the bond," and there was no help for him. After good deal of thought he hired painters and di. rected them to paint the whole front of the house red. white and blue-ir stripes, When it vas finished the naighb6rhood--it was 8 fashionable part-was up in arms and the landlord was frantic The tenant politely ex- plained to him that there was nothing in the agreement about the color, and that red. white and blue, In stripes was his fayorite combination, but he thought he might. perhaps. be better pleased with the painting of the back which he proposed to color green with yellow spots. The landlord, who vel knew that not another house could bs let in the crescent if he carried oui his threat, nearly had 8 fit at the idea and within a week the tenant had Z new lease, in which the landlord un, dertook to do all the outside painting himself

IVY EXCLUDES DAMPNEss.
Use of Vine Upon Walls of Building Makes Rooms Dryer Reason
 Given by Scientist.

T have of late been very frequently asked, writes a Canadian professor
 "about the effect of Boston ivy upon the walls of buildings, some asserting that the covering of walls With the above named vine caused dampness iIi the interior I am convinced that this idea is a fallacy. It will be conceded by all that the plant maintains its growth by the effect of moisture, either from the ground in which it Is planted or from any other source obtainable No one will deny but that stone and brick walls absorb a large quantity oi rainfall. more especially brick. The vine to obtain certain amount oi vitality naturally absorbs the moisture from the walls of brick or stone, and have yet to learn of any room in any house becoming damp by the growth oi the vine on the outside. The very op- posite must be the result. would suggest that no property holder need he afraid to plant the above named cresper on his or her building, for be assured the interior of the house will ba drier with the ivy than without.

Jacques
yAuDEyII.LE.

1t looks as though lovers of vaude- vile are in for another treat in the show that is having it's opening per- formance at the Jacques this after noon, for the bill includes names that have been identified with nothing but success. First in importance are w. H. Murphy, Blanche Nichols and com pany, who are appearing in most amusing playlet entitled From Za Za to Uncle Tom" It is a long way from one to the other, as followers of the play will understand, but in mak- ing the leap MT Murphy and his asso- ciates in the guise Of troubled theatri- cal transformers provide mountain of fun for their audiences. The play let has already taken rank among the very top-notchers in vaudeville, and it promises to make a sensation this season as one of the most amusing comedy playlets of the times. There is second very important feature in George W. Day, who is known as one of the most original and successful monOlogue entertainers on the vaude- vile stage. Mr and Mrs Jimmy Bar ry, too are important factors in the bill, and they will undoubtedly add to the great vocal popularity they have won through several previous success ful engagements. The remainder Of the bill is rich in comedy, the num- bers being contributed by Eckhof and Gordon, Rome and Ferguson, Dawson and White, Manley and Sinnotts and the electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and go cents, ladies 10.

BattIesh1p Connecticut Object of Mia-
 creant's Attacks.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-It has become known that the United States battle ship Connecticut, lately launched at the New York navy yard, has been the object of treachery from unknown mis- creants.
 Three times within half year has treachery been foiled in attempts to wreck the battleship. Only on Satur day was the last drop of water pumped from compartment which filled from a hole bored through the half inch steel plates of the ships bottom.
 The guard on the Connecticut has been strengthened, and the sentinels understand that if they kill man in the act of trying to injure the ship they will receive the thanks of the navy department.
 The story also says that six months ago it was found that holes had been bored through the center of rivets in the hull. allowing leakage. This act was discovered and new rivets insert ed.
 The second attempt was made when the ways were obstructed with a bolt an inch and a half in diameter before the launching. This was frustrated through watchfulness. The third eff fort to disable the ship was discoveres3 soon after the vessel touched water. Tn one of the compartments wate was discovered, which entered throug hole bored straight through the kee l 4 lI-- partment quickly filled, and immeG ately steps were taken to pump it ou So far as is known the battleship is iIi tact.
 There is no clew to the identity the perpetrators of these outrage That they may be discovered is consid cred almost hopeless if they do not again renew their attacks on the ship.

AUTOS GOOD AS THE BEST.

Sir Alfred Harmsworth in an ir1- terview printed In The Herald, '' says that nothing seen by him dur ing his. present visit to this country surprised him more than the im- provement and development of tlle American automobile. He has been at pains to examine them somewhat critically, and finds some of tie do- mestic types fully equal to the best French and German machines, if not superior to either. He says:
 "Indeed, I cannot understand the folly of Americans importing cars and paying such ridiculously high prices for them. when, as everybody knows, the larger portion of these exorbitant prices goes into the pock- cts of Paris middlemen of more than doubtful reputation. It may be as Barnum said, that the American people want to be humbugged. That may be the reason for their payirg such absurd prices for foreign lna- chimes"
 This is interesting, as Sir Alfred speaks as an expert on the sub sect of motor cars The facts sustain his views, but perhaps he is mistaken in assuming that everybody kuows them and that the willingness Of many Americans to pay high prices for imported machines when they could buy as good or better machines of home manufacture for lower prices is because they find satisfaction in owning the more expensive construc- tions. As a matter of fact, Tot inany Americans know much about auto mobiles as yet. But they arc learn ing-New York Times.

worshiped God in Hospital,

The most interesting feature among the early physicians Of Egypt was a priest of Ra, the sun god, named I-em- hotep, who lived during the third dyn- asty, nearly 5000 years ago, and was succeeded by cult of priest physi- clans, who carried on his work of heal ing. Temples for the worship of lem hotep, which were also hospitals for the sick, arose first at Memphis, and then extended to other parts of Egypt. Here the priests not only treated the sick, but also embalmed the bodies of men and the sacred animals.

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.

The phrase business is business ts al old one and everybody knows Ehat. Il means. Not everybody nHs :,crllaps taken the pains to anaiyse It's Eleaning down to the bottoln The average man has what he calls his business life" and social life, his business" relations and his social relations. The difference between the two is marked by line. which at times undulating, is nevertheless sufficiently clear. The line is drawn in accord with the law that apparent ly runs through the brute creation and governs where the moral law does not run. The brute creation is subject to but one law. the essence of which is the identity of might and right. They esWiftest foot, the sharp est claw, the strongest muscles, are winners in what seems to be perpet- ual warfare, and the penalty for the loser i. is death. With man the case is different in two respects, one of which is the fundamental and the other accidental, using the word "ac- cidental" in technical sense. Man has a moral nature, with rights and duties hereunder, not shared by the brute creation: that is the fundamen- tai difference. Tn business" the ac- cidental difference is that for strength of arm and weight of numbers there has been substituted mass of con ventions with the force of law, under which sovereignty as absolute as that of life and death goes with the more efficient brain. Force is force, no matter how it reflects itself. JSy Gould-a little, delicate, low-voicdl man with mighty brain-governed an army of retainers as absolutely and as relentlessly as did any of tue barons who sl forced Magma Charta from King John. His weapons were the agreed conventions of the bust ness world and a brain capable of making combina lions of those con ventions for his own profit. His iordship, or whatever you choose to call it, was as absolute as that Of the E2x Xr.s H chosen for stature and strength.
 Business is business means in the largest sense of the word 'tIAight is right, subject only to the conyen- tions that by common consent have replaced physical force. Nothing for nothing is the law. and the weaker must go to the wall It is in "busi- ness" as 1t is in war and as it is in the animal creation. That is what people mean when they say that "business is business. Wall Street Journal. sts s&
