A Woman,s New nae.

A Widow Morgan, who fiourished in
Richmond, and who did a little bank
ing business on her own account, cash
ing bills for men in distress, made her
appearance at Old Point in the height
of the season.
"She must be a lady Of quality"
said one.
"A marchioness," said another.
"a Duchess" said third.
"The powers! You're all wrong"
said an army oficer. Il know this
lady wells she's NOT even countessi"

BRIDGE That Is Watched.

The bridge that separates Derb.
Line. Vt. from Rock Island, and con
sequently the United States from
Canada, is one of the most closely
watched thoroughfares in either coun-
try. Long since it was nicknamed
"Smugglers' bridge" on account of the
large amount of smuggled goods TAX
en- across. 1t is an old-fashioned, low.
wooden structure. At the ends are
large signs saying PAY So or walk"
These signs attract attention because
literally they forbid riding under PEN
atty of fine, while in spirit they mean
that you must make your horses walk.
This law had been dead letter up to
short time ago, when Rock Island
renewed it and employed person to
watch the bridge and take the names
of transgressors. The violators of the
law were then visited and the fines
were collected. Near the south end
OF the bridge Is the United States
custom house, SUPPORT of the New
port district, and mile to the north
is the old-fashioned Canadian historic
building.

Treasures Of the Vatican.

The vatican is city, nay, a little
kingdom in itself. Its thousands of
rooms are divided up into libraries,
art galleries, chapels, monasteries, mu-
seums, mausoleums, administrative
halls and private suites. says the
Four Track News. Within the portals
Of the vatican the impression wrought
up by its disappointing exterior van
.ishes completely. Here all is one vast
silence. No echo from the outside
world penetrates to disturb its se-
rene peace. Dignity and decorum per-
wade the atmosphere and, in the deep
stiffness, pictures from its tremendous
past come and go as in panorama.
Pestilence, fire and war have ragged
within these old walls. Mailed Sara
Gems camped within its sacred pre-
cincts, and vandals from the brutal
North bivouacked in its sanctuary and
ruthlessly destroyed its finest treas
ures. Many are the nations the vati-
can guarded and watched alternately
from afar, and many are the dynasties
it has seen rise and fall.

Hld HIs Money in the oven.

Chief Burgess John Doll Of Pine
Grove, Pa, before going to the circus,
put all his portable wealth, $1,000 in
currency, in cigar box and depos-
tied in in the oven of his cold stove,
which he believed would be out Of
commission surely till the Sunday
baking should be done. But Mrs. Doll
concluded to get the Sunday baking
out of the way before her husbands
return. So she heated up the kitchen
stove, piping hot. When she thought
1t about right she opened the oven
door, only to find inside the smoking
ashes Of a cigar box and something
that looked suspiciously like money
to burn" 1t fairly crumbled as she
touched 1t, but she got it out of the
oven and smothered the remaining
flames as best she could.

put on his best specs and see If he
cant decipher enough of the ashes
currency to redeem it, whole or in
part.

Whistler as a Critic.

A new Whistler story is told by
friends of Miss Pamela Smith, the
young American artist who has made
reputation abroad by her original
work in color and black and white.
Miss Smiths designs, while they show
uncommon imagination, are technical
ly crude. and a friend of hers who
knew Whistler, was anxious to get his
opinion of them. She took the port
folio Of Miss Smiths illustrations to
the painter and waited anxiously as
Whistler examined them.
He looked them over carefully, and
remarked grufIiy, "She can't paint"
Then he went through them again.
And she can't draw"
A third time he looked through the
portfolio. pausing thoughtfully over
each sketch. But she doesn't need
to" he concluded.-H Harper's Weekly.
