Will fill our eyes with tears.

ranger Point Scenes
Today.

The habit of throwing stones and other
missiles at pedestrians and people in
vehicles seems to be increasing among
the local small boys. This morning on
upper State street, two cases were seen
within n half-hOur.
Near De Kalb avenue, boy of about
eight years threw three stones in rapid
succession at II little girl. None, by
chance hit her.
Within "a few blocks, boy of about
six years was noted aiming and letting
fly stick at passing huckster ON
Broad street. Such performances on the
street or anywhere in fact should be cor
rected by any witness and the victim
should report the offence to the authori-

derable rivalry for the fourth place.

day, the agnostic gave him the Resurrec- ton allegory by the Hindoo, and told him to read it through and do his pret- dest in the way of illustrating it.
 Now. Borowsixi was a Polish Hebrew who had come 60 this country with his parents when he was { years old. But hs had knowledge of English litera- ture that is vouchsafed to few Americans of l9, and he had that wonderful tenn perament that is found so often among the Polish Hebrews. He was an artist to his finger tips He had steeped him. self In the best examples of art to be found in this country, having gained ad- mittance to many private galleries through the good offices of millionaire ccmpatriot and added to that he had condensed into twelve months study the work of three years course in art ir- struction. and, as the boys said, he was not long for a newspaper office.
 He read the allegory that noon and his sympathetic soul recognized a kindred spirit in the work of the Hfndoo. and by afternoon he was hard at work on the illustration, having obtained pernais- sion to do the work at home, where he would be free from ali distracting infiu- enceS.
 He felt he had lived a lifetime when his fellow artists saw his work They were generous in their praise. There was no jealous feeling at all. These Ameri- cans were honestly proud of their He- Drew brother. and the praise of ones

fellow craftsman outpeighs a whole tl1e- atreful of others.
 And now comes the conclusion of the whole matter. The story was unsigned. the picture had nothing but initials and the great public did not know that the editor was an agnostic; but the day after the publication of this agnostic- -Hindood- Hebrew story of the Resurrection, admir-. ing letters began to come from the Chris- tian public, and more than one confessed that the beautiful allegory and the spir- itual picture had been in the nature Of a uplift.
 But let this letter tell its story; ''To the Editor of -:
 Dear Sir-I am not much on doctrines or forms. but I recognize Christianity and biotherly love when I see them. and I want to tell you how much good that d. lesory and its accompanying picture did me.

He was a word poet, and he handled the English tongue with an ease that many an American envied.
 The Hindu was also good man, al- though that is neither here nor there. He could project himself into subjec; until his whole being was saturated with it and he had written a Russian story that more than one Russian expert at- trsbuted to Turgenien. He could do any, thing in words and he could weave a story of the Morse mythology and set it forth in a dress of brighter colors than would have been possible to man ol Scandinavian imagination.

 T understand" said this young Hindu, and then he went to an art gallery and looked at those pictures that would help him and after that he went to his iode- ings and cast himself upon the floor and gave his imagination free play for an hour and then rose and wrote the aIle- gory in an hour and then wrote 1t once again and after that he let It alone, for he knew that every added touch would take something of spontaneity from it.
 So he brought it to the editor, who read it through and said quite seriously. Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian

 The editor of the paper was an ag- nestle. Fifty years ago he would have beer called. an infidel. bat we have soft eEee our speech in some ways. Now, all tho ugh he was an agnoetic and really knew nothing of future life, he was the editor of a live paper and he had to observe the times and seasons; there fore. when by the calendar he saw that Easter was near at hand, he determined to get up an Easter number. sparing no expense to make 1t something that would appeal alike to art lovers and to the multitude.
 But. although the editor was an agnos- tic. 1t is not to be understood that he was a bad man. This is not a fable. where everything Is told in symbols, and where all the characters are types. He was good man, a kindly man. and if men get into Heaven by good deeds alone tend there are those who say they dol this agnostic was certain of happy immortality. Can you imagine q more pleasant surprise than for a man to die an agnostic, after well spent life. and
