As he took no interest in pfstc- tical things his fingers drew nothing but the lovely pictures that were ever in his mind. and hence it was that, no matter what he engraved, there was always to be found in one corner of It a little gem tleman with a long beard and a peaked cap.

 One night he was aroused from sleep by great wind Clouds were passing over the face of the moon in great black masses. At times the sky was jet black, The moon shown clearly and sharply through the garret window. The wind growled under the doors like a strayed cur.
 Suddenly Jean heard whispers and saw host of little deformed creatures, who had taken possession of his table and climbed up on his solitary chair; others poured in through the clefts in the garret window, down the chimney and over the tiles of the roof. They first examined

There is a story connected with the
manufacturing of the buttons. No
picture of the solicitor general could
be secured. and a photographer who
was known to have plate was visit
ed. He declared that it was impossi-
BILE to let the applicant have a picture
without an order from Mr.. Osborne.
The admirers of the solicitor gen
eral had planned to take him by sur
prise. as well as storm, and did not
want to give the snap away by ask
ing for an order for the picture. They
assured the photographer that they de-
sired to make Mr.. Osborne a hand
some present, and that they wanted to
take him by surprise. Under the cir
cumstances the picture man gave in
and the manufacturing of the buttons
followed. MIR. Osborne was amazed
yesterday morning when he found hun
dreds of his admirers wearing his pic
ture on the lapels of their coats.

LITERARY CLUBS
SECOND DEBATE.
Supporters of Compulsory Educn-
ton Established Their Claim.

The second of the series of debates
inaugurated by the Literary Club of
the Young Mems Christian Association
was held last night at the Y. M. c. A.
rooms, at Bull and Jones streets.
There was a large audience in attend
ance, and the closest attention was
paid to the speakers throughout.
The subject for debate was, "Resolv-
ed, That compulsory education should
be adopted by the United States" The
affirmative was supported by Mr.. c. M.
Griffin and Mr.. c. L. Revlie. The neg
alive was upheld by Mr.. w. B. Spann,
Jr., and Mr.. r. Truslow.
Each side worked hard for the de-
cision, and all the arguments and facts
possible were marshalled in support of
the rival claims. Many new argu-
ments were brought out by the differ
ent speakers, and the old ones pre-
scented in new and more convincing
lights. The decision was given in
favor of the affirmative by the acting
president, Purse. The decision met with
the general approval of the audience.
