place burned down and grass sown on
the site and park made OF it. 80
The tower covers IL acres of ground,
and there are more things brought to
a visitors attention that ought to be
forgotten than you ever thought about.
remember attending the theater at
home and seeing Richard the Third
played, and I remember how my SYM
pathies were aroused for the two little
boy princes that were murdered by
Richard the Third, but l thought it
nothing true about it, but, by gosh, it
was right here in the Tower of Lon
don that the old hump-backed cuss
murdered those little princes, and dad
and stood right on the spot, and the
beef-eater who showed us around told
us al. the particulars. Dad was in
dignant. and said to the beef-eater:
do you mean to tell me you stood
around and let Richard kill those
princes without uttering a protest or
protecting them or ringing for the po-
lice? BY the great hornspoon, you
must have been accessory to the fact,
and you ought to be arrested and
hung" and dad pounded his cane on
the stone floor and looked savage.
The. beef-eater got red in the face
and said: Begging your pardon, don't
you know, but hi was not ere at the
time. This history was made six 'un-
dred years ago."
Dad begged the mans pardon and
told him he supposed the boys were
murdered a year or two ago, and he
gave the beef-eater a dollar, and he
was so gratified I. think he would have
had a murder committed for dad right
there and then if dad had insisted on
it.
You feel in going through the tower
like you was in an American slaughter
house, for it was here that kings and
queens were beheaded by the dozen.
They showed us axes that were used
to behead people, and blocks that the
heads of the victims were laid on, and
the places where the heads fell on the
floor. 1t seemed that in olden times
when a king or a, queen got too gay,
the anti-kings or queens would go to
the palace and catch the king or queen
in the act, and take them by the neck
and hustle them to the tower, and
when king or queen got in the tower
they went out on the installment plan,
and after being thrown in the e1ltfer
for the mob to recognize, and walk on
the bodies, they would bring them
back in the tower, and seal them up in
pigeon hole for future generations
to cry over.

Boleyn, and here stood right where her

Which Cupid Has Played

New York, City.--What queer pranks
Master Cupid plays at times! He draws
his bow and let's his arrows by, and 10,
and behold, all the world pauses to look
and to listen. Love is such an DID, old
story, and Cupid has been so long en-
gagged in his magic archery, making two
souls content with but a single thought
and causing two hearts to beat as one
that the ordinary, commonplace love al
fair causes scarcely a ripple on the vast
sea OF lite as it rolls on to the eternal
shores. But occasionally Cupid quite
outdoes himself. Apparently he becomes
impatient with simply performing the
expected, and twans, twang goes his
bow, and swish, swish go the feeting ar
rows. and the unexpected has happened.
The rich. and the poor, the high and the
low. the gray hairs of winter and the
fresh bloom Of summer are brought to-
gether in charming harmony, and at
such times the world likes to pause and
gaze on the romantic picture. 1t de-
lights to study the roseate hues. the
warmth and fullness of coloring, the
striking contrasts. the brilliant lights
that CLINT and flash through the picture
and then it likes to wonder in soberer
frame Of mind il there will be any darker
shades which the years will paint into
the picture to destroy the first flush and
glory of Cupid's daring work.
Cupid knows that love has universal
language, and that it is potent to over
come every natural barrier. He knows
that love pauses not to reason why, but
that it dares to do. and even die. if need
be, in its assaults on the strongholds of
the human heart. He knows that there
are no race or class distinctions, nor so.
cial conditions or barriers which love
cannot with apparent reckless ease
sweep aside. And because Sir Cupid
knows all this full we'll, he dares to draw
his bow and send his dart cleaving the
heart of a young man whose wealth is
counted in millions, whose social posi-
ton is of the highest, Yale graduate,

Rose, the eldest child. When she moved
to New York, about two years ago, and
obtained employment on the Jewish

about IS months ago Bennett kieberman,

Hebrew maiden, a Russian Jewess,
whose life has been spent amidst the
worlds humblest. and who has rolled
cigars year in and year out sthat the
mother and five other children might

strangely linked the proud name OF John
Graham Phelps Stokes and the unknown

Cupid's Double Play.
But Cupid has done more than this
He has made in New York what might
be called a double play, and from one

Cupid has discovered an affinity between

would cut your liver out for shilling,
and every woman was drunk on gin.
What there is about gin that makes it
the national beverage for bad people
beats me, for it looks like water,
tastes like medicine and smells like
cold storage eggs. At home when a
person takes drink of beer or whisky
he at least looks happy for a minute,
and maybe he laughs, but here nobody
laughs unless somebody gets hurt, and
that seems to tickle everybody in the
White Chapel district. -.
The people look mad and savage
when they are not drinking, as though
they were only looking for an oppor-
tunity to commit murder: and then
when they take a drink of gin, instead
of smiling and smacking their lips as
though it was good and braced them
up, they look as though they had been
stabbed with dirk and they put on a
look of revenge, as though they would
like to wiring child's neck or cut holes
in the people they meet.
Two drinks o. gin makes a man or
woman look as though they had swal-
lowed a buzz saw. always thought
drinking liquor made people think
they were enjoying themselves, or that
they took it to drive away care and
make them forget their sorrows, but
when these people drink gin they seem
to do it the way an American drinks
carbolic acid, to end the whole busi-
ness quick.
At home the drinker drinks to make
him feel like he was at picnic. Here
every drinker acts like suicide, who
only hopes that he may commit MUIR
der before the gin ends his career.
And there are hundreds of thousands
of people in this town who have no
ambition except to get bit of bread
to sustain them till they can get
drink of gin, and gradually they let up
on bread entirely and feed on gin, and
look like mad dogs and snarl at every
body they see, as much as to say:
what are you going to do about it,"
A good square American meal would
give them fit, and they would go to
a hospital and die If the meal could
not be got out Of them. *.':.A,
Gosh, but I was glad to get out of
the White Chapel district, and kept
looking back for fear one of the men
or women would slit me up the back
with q butcher. knife, and laugh like

RUSSIAN ARMY
AT TIE PASS
KurOpatkin ReOrganizes His Defeated
and Demoralized Forces.
CzAR WILL CONTINUE THE WAR

By delay in pressing his pursuit Of
Russia's defeated and demoralized
army to Tie Pass, Field Marshal
Oyama has afforded General Kuropat-
kin time to sort out the disorganiZed
units of his command and restore his
forces to at least semblance of order.
So far as known there is no consider
able force of Japanese nearer Tie Pass
than six or eight miles; but in Rus
sian quarters there is a feeling of ap-
prehension that some turning move
ment of which there is no definite IN
formation Is In progress. From Japa-
nese sources it is reported that many
struggling parties of Russians, cut OF
from their commands in the retreat
from Mukden, are surrendering upon
the appearance of Japanese troops.
The council of war summoned by En-
peror Nicholas is reported to have de-
cided that the war must be carried for
ward. The all-important question Of
financial means, however, is said 10
have reached no solution, the situation
being complicated by the reported de-
cision of French capitalists not to ne
gotiate the loan recently offered by st.
Petersburg. The probability as regard
ed in st. Petersburg seems to be that
when Kuropatkin has completed the
task of reorganizing what is left of his
army he will be permitted to return TO
Russia, and that the command in Man
churia will be entrusted to Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaievitch.
AS to the losses. General Kuropat-
kin now admits that $4,000 wounded
were carried off the field. This, with
the 26,500 dead left on the field. the
10000 prisoners and the wounded left
in the hospitals, comes somewhat
nearer the latest Japanese estimate
that the total Russian losses were
$4,000. At this rate Kuropatkin can
not have more than 100000 effective
fighting men with him.
The Japanese report the capture OF
"a more guns. &C in all, n rather small
number. considering the decisive de-
feat and the number of men captured.
