So he was somewhat surprised one
day to receive a summons to appear
at the office of Aaron Cannon, attor-

in person or by attorney, and arrange

Not having a lawyer, and having, on
the contrary, deadly fear of the

100 Francs for Kings Umbrella.

The king of the Belgians once left
his umbrella in hanson when driv-
ing in Brussels. This was returned
to his majesty few hours afterward
by the proud "cabby," who was offered
for his honesty by King Leopold the
sum of 100 francs. The astute Jehu,
however, begged great favor of the
king. Could he have the umbrella
instead of the money? The favor was
granted, and before many days had
nassed the cabman mad put up the
umbrella for sale, and it was knocked
down to some royal enthusiast for
100 francs. When King Leopold
heard of this he exclaimed: well,
I've heard of an umbrella being put

Beauty

There is not anything the soul more
Graves
Than Beauty. 1t eXalts the merest
line
That through our everyday experience
waves
Seeks blindly the Divine.
For what in very truth is this we crave,
Which neither loads the board nor fills
the purse,
Yet, wanting which, the earth were but
grave,
And life itself a curse?
The visual presence of the living God.
That permeates creation, comes and
goes.
In substance and in shadow, green's the
sod.
And paints and scents the rose:
And flows through man into his works
of art
The pictures glow, the statues breath
ing CLEAN;
For not a touch of beauty stirs the heart,
But comes of the Supreme.
