the canal is the urgent need. The rest will keep.
We have no doubt Mr.. Cromwell will be just as
willing to oblige Mr.. Morgan month hence as
now But there would be little wisdom in keep
ing work on the canal indefinitely tied up while
Mr.. Cromwell out-Wellers the Iamented Samivel

THE late Bishop Thomas Frederick
Davies of Detroit said a Detroit man.
"once told me an interesting story of an
elopement. He figured in this clopement
as the officiating clergyman. 1t was in
Philadelphia. during his rtctorship of St.
Peters.
1T seems that the proprietor of one Of
the largest dry goods houses in Phila-
delphia had noticed for some months the
melancholy attitude of his head clerk. n
young nan whom he held in high regard.
The clerks pallor and increasing lean
ness. his frequent signs and absentmind-
edncss. worried the millionaire proprietor.
He questioned the young man daily. And
finally the clerk admitted that he WAS in

Well said the head, marry her. Your
salary Is big enough
All said the clerk, sadly. YOU don't
understand. She belongs TO one OF The
first families of Philadeli hia. and her
father Is a millionaire
'Well. maybe he wasn't when he mar
ried. You have a good position and a eoel
name. You are u fair match fot any .irl.'

parents would not listen TO me for one
