One of the quaintest charitable insti-
tutions In the world is the Royal Alfred
Home For Aged Seamen, which houses
100 English mariners In the outskirts
Of London. 1t Is supported entirely by
voluntary contribution. The main idea
has been to make the place as home
like as possible, and to this end an eff
fort has been made to preserve in large
measure the environment to which the
inmates are accustomed.
The dormitories are cut up into tiny
cabins, as on shipboard, and in place Of
the familiar iron cots these veterans
of the sea turn in at night in hunks and
stow their clothes and other belongings
precisely as they would on board ship.
Day and night the hours and half hours
are struck on ships bell in the main
hall, and even in the mess room the
atmosphere of the sea is retained as an
aid to appetite. The house governor Is
himself an old sea captain of forty
years experience in commanding men,
and his rule Is entirely along nautical
lines

1t almost makes the eyes water to
read Of the village Of Baiersdorf, in
Bavaria, which is celebrated for pro-
ducing the finest horseradish in Eu-
rope. On an area of moist ground, in
the valley Of the river Regnitz, cover
ing 1885 acres, that titillating plant is
practically the only thing raised, and
the annual yield amounts to about
100000 pounds. Horseradish requires
a great deal of attention from the Gull
tivator, for In midsummer the soil
must be removed from the stems and
the side roots rubbed off with a soft
cloth, after which the stems are buried
again. The plants spring up in March
from the end roots, left in the soil the
previous autumn, when the upper
stems are cut off and packed in bar
rels for shipment.

The ruling passion is often very
strong in death. A senator from Ten
nessee discovered this some years ago.
Among his constituents was a certain
man who came to him regularly twice
a year for the purpose Of obtaining a
pass to Baltimore. The man and his
family had served the senator when he
was first making his way up the ladder
of politics., and as result Of this he
always obliged him, and had, more
over, a soft place in his heart for the
man. He obtained for him a position
in one Of the departments at Washing
ton; but this did not seem to be
enough, for regularly at the end Of
each six months he applied for his
ticket to Baltimore. One day he sick
ened and was reported to be dying.
The senator, very much grieved, i'm
mediately called upon him.
"Joe," he said, leaning over and
speaking very softly, sis there any
thing l can do for your"
The sick man looked up with fash
Of recognition, and instantly replied
in a whisper:
'Yes, senator; please get me pass
to Baltimore. "-Harper's Weekly.

The God In the
Hurdy Gurdy
BY CASPAR JOHNSON
Copyright, 1905. by X. A. Whitehead

1t was narrow alley, running be-
tween the back yards. 1t was intend
ed for the convenience of the butchers
boy and the grocer's boy and the ash
man. Distinctively it was not intend
ed for men of Pasquale Venetti's stamp
Indeed, sign at either end announced
this in no uncertain terms.
"Beggars, Peddlers and Street Musi-
clans Keep Out" it read.
But to Pasquale Venetti warning
signs in English had no terrors from
the simple fact that written English
was beyond his ken. Therefore as he
came trlmdling the ancient hurdy gurdy
up the street he looked into the alley,
saw it's possibilities-the ease with
which coins could be tossed from the
back windows-and, forsaking the as
phalt pavements, where, to use his
own expression, he could mo getta de

limbering his musical battery, sent up
the quavering strains Of "Lindy, Lin
dy, Yo' Is Ma Ladylove."
1t is a hard, cold world Pasquale
ground away patiently and whenever
a face appeared at any Of the win
dows he smiled eXpansively, removed
his battered hat and bowed profoundly
and even essayed joyful shutting of
his feet while he turned the crank.
But, despite all these Establishments, to
say nothing Of the appeal made by a
choice assortment Of selections, rang
ing from the classic to ragtime, no
coins wrapped in white paper came
jingling to his feet To be sure, one
fat cook came out to the back gate ana
after he had played half through the
hurdy gurdy's assortment gave him a
penny, and an old gentleman had
raised an upper window and, with a
Numbered sect out Of thisv had flung
him dime. But II cents from such a
promising alley! Pasquale resented his
Ill treatment and moved farther up the
alley.
No better success attended him here.

smiled his best and bowed his lowest.

A noted astronomer and scientist IN
a recent lecture In Paris gave an &C.
count Of some Of the freaks Of light

firmed, were determined by causes

hypothesis that cit is thought which,
instead Of being attached to brain, is
attached to an electric current" Some

Y YHEN breakfast had been con-
VA Guided the other morning Mr..
wv Bowser lighted a cigar and
sauntered out into the back
yard to see how many clothespins were
getting ready to blossom with the GRO
cuSes, and at the end of half an hour
Mrs. Bowser called from one Of the
back windows:
won't you be late at the office this
morning?"
II am going to take a day off," was
his quiet reply.
Mrs Bowser's knees began to shake.
His day off meant that he would want
to overhaul the house from top to bot
tom, and he would be almost certain
to NEEDLE with the water pipes and
gas meter and bring about some sort
of calamity. She went about with pal

one final stand, however, before the
back of an imposing house. With a
sinking heart he sent up the jerky bars
Of march from a popular light opera.
The house, like all the others, was un-
responsive. Then he shifted to rag
time. He decided to play through his
repertory anyway. II it failed, he
would go back to the asphalt pave
ments and try his luck somewhere
downtown before a restaurant or a
promising saloon.
Now, it happened that in the big, dim
back parlor of the imposing house sat
two young people, and a single glance
showed that they were not happy.
The man sat very stiff and straight
in his chair and bit his lips. The girl
was flushed and her eyes glowed an
grily.
1T Is far too much to forgive this
time" she was saying. Il have for
given and forgiven-eternally forgiven
and now am tired"
The man replied coldly.
Perhaps you are right" he said In
a strained voice.
"And the sooner it's over the better,
now" said the girl, choking.
The man started up. Whatever re-
monstrance he was about to make he
utified.
Every WELL" he said CURLY.
The girl pulled ring from her finger
and laid 1t on the table beside the
man. He took it without word and
put 1t In his pocket.

call you could say would make no
difference" she said YEARLY.
The man rose and strobe to the win
dow. Pasquale was grinding away
assiduously. At the sight of the man
In the window he smirked and bowed
and shuffled his feet. The man smiled
bitterly.
Lucky, happy devllv' he muttered.
Then he turned to the girl and drew
himself up stiffiy.
IT may as well say goodby," said he.
She made no reply.
"Goodby," he said again.
"Goodby," she returned evenly.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-06-24

The man hesitated moment; then
he strobe to the door. In the alley
Pusquale had come to the last piece
in his repertory. 1t was poor imi-
tation Of portions Of Schubert's "Ser-
enade." Just as the man reached the
door the jingling notes foated in from
the alley. The man paused. A look Of
pain came into his face.
Those jerky notes brought memories
with them-memories of a big. dark
music room with two little spots of
red in the gloom where the candles
burned on the piano; of girl beneath
the candles-a girl with white neck
and cleaning shoulders, playing the
serenade very softly; of few breath
less words whispered over her Shout
der; Of pair Of luminous eyes which
flashed an answer that set his heart
pounding madly. And now a
hurdy gurdy playing that sacred SER
enade in the alley-and this. 1t was
heinous sacrilege.
Lord, l can't stand that" he NUT
tered, and turned to the girl face
drawn and white.
"Goodby," he said as if the words
choked him.
But the girls face had whitened
also. She took step forward.
Robert" she said with wide, fright
ened eyes.
Z
In the alley Pasquale ground away
hopelessly. Suddenly a window was
raised and a coin dropped at his feet.
1t was a shining, yellow coin. Pas
quale Venetti gasped, turned it over
in his palm, and then whooped. In a
burst of gratitude he began the roper
tory all over again, and such was his
elation that he essayed to heighten the
effect by singing in high, squeaky
voice.
The orgy was soon over, however,
for a patrolman came down the alley
and seized the exuberant musician.
The thought Of the yellow coin in his
pocket enabled Pasquale to bear this
ordeal with equanimity.
Gala right, ALA right" he protested
mildly as he was hustled past the
warning signs and dumped unceremo-
niously on the asphalt pavement.

uteS, but when she looked out again
she was somewhat relieved to find
him seated on an old wash bench and
stroking the cat In a fatherly way.
Now and then he glanced upatthe Chin
neys and the roof as if making a men,
tai calculation, but at 10 o'clock he
shifted around on to the front steps
and settled down as If he meant to
stay there. She presently made an ex-
cuse to get out there and Inquire:

She could think Of nothing more, and
she left him, but as she went about
doing the upstairs work she kept gen.
eral eye on him from an open window.
1t was not long before man came
along and halted at the gate to say:
"Why, Bowser, you home? l was
thinking of going over to the Office to
see you. 1 know where you can get an
auto for half price"
Don't want 1t, thank you"
"But it's clipper, and the price has
been cut in two"
Don't want it."
aren't you feeling yourself today?"
"Never felt better"
The man made some remark about
the weather and passed on. On the cor
ner he met the coal man and said:
you know Bowser, Of course? What
in thunder ails him?"
"How-why?"
II was just talking to him. He seems
to be loafing around home today. I
offered him an auto at half price and
he turned me down.
'He did, eh? Well, I haven't seen
him for four or five days, but If he
refused to grab for that auto then you
can bet he's getting wrong In the head.

Meanwhile, down at the house, po-
tato peddler had come along. He knew
that Mr.. Bowser had thrown three of
the profession over the fence within a
year and told the cook he'd discharge
her If she even bought turnip Of
them, but the sight Of his enemy sitting
on the top step so calmly and COM
placently and looking so harmless In
the eyes Of all emboldened him to stop
his rig at the curb and to say over the
gate:
Judge, can l sell you a few Eaters
today? I've got load Of boss ones
here"
The words foated up to Mrs. Bowser
and gave her chill. She was getting
ready to run downstairs to prevent
a tragedy when she heard Mr.. Bowser
reply:
II hardly think we need any pota-
toes today. Thank you for calling my
attention to them. They do look nice"
'I've got some fine cabbages here"
Eyes, they are fine, but I guess I

RESIDENCE
WAS DAMAGED
HOME OF DR., T. S. MITCHELL WAS
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING YES
TERDAY MORNING.

During the severe thunder and cleo
trical storm of yesterday morning, the
residence of DR.. Thos. S. Mitchell, on
East Hill, was struck by lightning and
damaged to a considerable extent.
1t was during the worst of the storm
that a bolt of lightning struck the
roof of the residence, tearing away
the shingles and boards, and allowing
the rain to come down into the room.
The lightning, after doing consider
able damage TO the roof, passed into
one of the rooms, where it tore a mat
tress to pieces and almost destroyed
the furniture in the place, scattering
it to all parts of the house.
Fortunately for members of the
family none were in the section of the
house which was struck by the light
ming, and consequently none of them
were injured.
A number of other residences in the
immediate vicinity were struck, buC
sustained but little injury.
