Tho Widows Mite.

when Widow Kuehn'. little son died, the
neighbors said she would 20 crazy. Little
Frederick Wilhelm was oil she had. Tho
little son, born after her husbands death,
had been for nearly nine years her one JOY.
The single basement room In which sbe
lived was filed with the constant pleasure
OF mother who, having one pearl OF great
price, iAvishes upon tina. treasure all her
love. She had little else. than love to Law
ish, for she was washer woman.
When the funersl was over, and she was
compelled to face life bv the press Of duties
aud the need Of daily bread, she sought
some way to perpetuate the memory Of her
child Ia q manner to inspire and help
Others. For a long time she kept her own
counsel, but method had presented itself
TO her mind.
The neighbors said she had become too
saving. They could not understand why
she worked earlier and later than before,
and denied herself ell pleasure.
In the German church Of which she 10 .
member two large mural paintings had
been placed, the gifts Of two wealthy men,
One wss picture Of the meeting Of Jesus
and John the Baptist BY the side Of the
Jordan, the other represented CHRIS, bless
Ing the little children. They were large
canvases, the work Of young painter Of
the Munich school,
How much would large painting cost !
She asked her pastor whether thousand
dollars would purchase large mural paint
Ing. The pastor informed her that the two
already placed had cost more than that,
but that thousand dollars would indeed
purchase q large and fne painting. II was
then that her saving attracted attention.
Finally she had the money. She told the
artist her story and her desire. He enter
ed heartily into her plan. The pastor, a.
90, was taken into the secret.
Finally the day Of the unveiling came,
and the public received Its first knowledge
Of the enterprise. In place In tho church
more prominent than had been assigned to
either Of the other paintings was displayed
the new canvas, the name Of the glve- Of
which until that hour had been unknown.
The picture Is entitled, "The Shadow Of
the Croas." 1t represented the child jesuit
at the age Of eight and half-the age Of
the little lad who had died. He ID ap.
preaching His mother with both arms full
Of nowers, and the arms being outstreched
make the shadow Of cross upon the
ground before Him.
The picture is indeed memorial Of tn.
dead child, and tenderly reminiscent OF the
shadow that had fallen on mothers life
but 1t WAS = shadow with the moderr
mother, like the one Of old, changed Y
light for others.
To what purpose was this wsstes Many
no doubt, will ak the question ~ they se'

IRISH
some Droll Answers and Ready Wit
From Hotel Walters.


OF stories of Irish hospitality Mr.
Macready had a full supply; also of
hotel attendants and the ~peasantry.
On n occasion he asked the girl in
attendance for poached eggs. She
looked a bit nonplused at first, but
after a little hesitation replied, There
are 20 pOached eggs in the place, sir,
but l think l could get you some
poached salmon"
In a poor little cottage Of two rooms
he saw a married couple and seven
children. Hearing q baby cry, he
k to see it and explained that he
took an interest in babies, having one
at home. The infant was produced
for inspection, and the mother asked
proudly, is yours as big as that,
Sir? TO which he replied, II think It
is a little bigger" Instantly the in
stincts of the mother were reused,
and, tossing her head, she said: $50
well it might be. That's only half of
ours; the other half is with God. We
had twins"
At a hotel one of the party asked,
Have you got any celery, waiterT'
mo, sir" was the significant answer.
Il relies on me chances" That man
deserved an extra tip. On another oc-
casion the dinner was especially good
and well served. At the conclusion
II of the party remarked, You're an
angel, Pat" IT am, sir" assented Pat,
but fly low."-London Telegraph.

Received by n Bank.
"We often receive peculiar requests
for o~verdrafts," said Il banker the 9th.
er day. "a client whose standing &c.
count had never exceeded 81 OOO re.
quested us to grant him an overdraft
of $4,000, stating that he was not able
to offer any explanation at the present,
but assured us that at no time would
the bank be in any danger of losing, as
the overdraft would not be real.
After some hesitancy we consented.
but stipulated certain conditions and
reserved the privilege of refusing II
these conditions were not followed.
Shortly after his departure a we'll
dressed gentleman came in and handed
to our paying teller a check for $1,000
bearing the signature of our client and
with it a letter requesting us to honor
the check with cash. This letter was
one Of the conditions we imposed for
our safety. Still feeling that we were
taking Il chance, the none was passed
out to him. After holding the currency
a moment in his hands he returned If.
with a request for the check, which he
destroyed before us.
On the following day our client
thanked us for our courtesy and waiv-
ed the overdraft privilege, saying that
he had no further use for it. He had
with him a check for $1,000, which he
deposited. This he had won from his
friend on a bet. He had bet that he
could negotiate an overdraft for that
amount without first explaining that
it was a bet and the nature of it, and
his friend wagered that no bank would
trust him for that amount."-Kansas
