DIDN'T KNOW OF THE BOY.
Dut Man Who Married Widow Had to
 Pay the Penalty.

Tt seems very hard that I should be called upon to pay for the boy" was the lament of an elderly man who was summoned under curious circum- stances at Lambert, England.
 The proceedings were taken by the industrial schools officer with the view of obtaining an order for a contribution toward tae maintenance of the son of woman whom the de- fendant married two years ago.
 The boy, it was said, had been sent Go the school before the marriage took place. and the defendant now pro tested that he had never seen the lad, and was quite unaware of his ex- istence at the time of the marriage.
 "You have heard of the danger of marrying widows?" remarked MT. Hopkins, the magistrate.
 Unfortunately, know il" replied the defend ant
 Tt seems hard lines, know" said the magistrate, ito call upon you to pay for the boy. But men do such foolish things. Two years ago you didn't mind marrying this woman.
 Yes, sir, but I didn't know what she was then,' was the reply.
 An order was made for the payment of 50 cents a week. .

CLAY EQUAL TO EMERGENCY.
How "Great Comnnoner" Satisfied
 Disgruntled Constituent.

One of the best stories told of Hen- iry Clay relates to his dealing with an old Kentucky mountaineer who ac- jcosted the great commoner" after one of his speeches and said: Well, Henry, have always voted for you before, but can't do it this time" i''Why, now, what's the trouble?" ask ed Clay. T don't like your vote on the bank bill," replied Tom. "Is that all; I have suited you generally, have ! not?" "Oh, yes, always but that time, but I don't like that vote." You think I was honest in giving it, don't iyou?" Yes, but you made mistake" 1" "Say, Tom, you are hunter, and sometimes your gun misses fire; what do you do then-throw 1t away. No, I just pick the flint and try it again" "Of course you do, Tom, and all ask of you is to treat me as well as you do your old gun. Will you not do it?" Yes, by thunder. Henry, will! I'll try you again

A Gaze of Blind Faith.

President Patton, of Princeton uni. versity, recently delivered sermon at the Fifth Avenue Collegiate church. Boston, his subject being Faith" He spoke of the blind faith of the client who puts himself at the mercy of . lawyer in preparing an action for trial, and of the confidence of the sick in intrusting themselves to the phy' eician.
 "A case of blind faith." said the clergyman. "The doctor writes out prescription. Oftener than not you cannot read It; you don. know whai it is. He tells you to take 1t. Your not to reason why. yours but to do and die.'"
 Whether or not Dr. Patton meant l there was a distinct ripple throughou the congregation.

The PhiIadeIphia Shake.

The English high handshake which ragged to such an extent in this city, says the Philadelphia Record, at one time that some of it's devotees are said to have practiced it on steplad- ders, has now entirely disappeared, and, according to an authority on such subjects, is to be replaced by another form of salutation which con- sists in thrItsting the hand straight out, giving one quick grip without any up and down motion, and then in- stantly withdrawing it. Whether peo- pie who like this no better than they liked the high shake will be forced to adopt it for awhile, as was the case with the other fad, will depend on the violence and extent of the new epidemic. The origin of this latest style, by the way. is supposed to be a fear of germs, the idea being that since handshaking cannot be dis pensed with altogether, it should be as brief performance as possible.

Two Points of View.

At tbe time of the ecclesiastical trial of Prof. Woods, of Andover Theologi- cal seminary, for alleged heresy, a re- tired New Hampshire clergyman, while making a journey by rail, was absorped in reading the details of this trial as reported ia the Congregation alist. A sporty looking individual who sat beside him was absorbed in the pages of different periodical.
 My friend" said the clergyman, what do you think will be the result of the great contest that is now agitat. ing the nation?"

Wicked Trick of a Western Man on a New York Kid.

 "Coney Island?" inquired the New York friend. languidly.
 "Oh, of course" s&

 There are plenty of them."
 Yes. New York doesn't have to worry about race suicide. This chap was about three years old. He was digging in the sand on the beach with a toy shovel and tin bucket. l talked with him awhile, and when he wasn't looking I slipped two or three cents down the hole he had dug. When he resumed his labors his eyes bulged. He couldn't believe his luck. It was better than finding pay dirt to watch him. He dug up the cash with yell and started to find his mother, further down the beach. While he was going slid in few more cop pers and threw a little sand over them. He came right back and be- gan digging. and, of course, he soon made another find. That settled him. He gathered in the goods and then he buckled down to work on that hole like prospector. I'll bet, he's digging 1 there yet if his mother hasn't dragged him away, and if she has I'll bet be yelled some before he went" IN. Y | Sun.

Sumner for the Manager.

When Manager Henderson was in possession of a certain metropolitan theater a would-be patron, obviously well bred, but rather too well primed by stimulant, called at the box office and demanded an orchestra seat. His wish was regretfully declined. But he wanted more precise reason. which was not forthcoming, and at last Manager Henderson was sum- moned. Pressed for the reason of his refusal, the latter finally said: Well. if you must know, it is because you are drunk" Unabashed, the visitor replied: "why, of course I'm drunk!

uniforms of Chinese Students.

OuiIOTN6 OI
 The establishment of government schools in China and the equipment of students in uniforms is furnishing a market for military clothing. According to the British consul at Wuchow, 60 of these schools have been opened in that prefecture alone. The uniform consists of coat and trousers of foreign cut, with brass buttons and peak caps, and shoes of foreign pattern.
 In the strictly military schools khaki is worn. All the uniforms seen appear to be of British cloth, but there is rule, which is evidently ig- nored, that only native material be used. Caps, buttons and braid all come from Japan.
 The shoes are said to be of Hong. kong manufacture, but very inferior kind is made locally of native leather.

Miss Marie Shedlock lately re- marked during a lecture on storytell- ing for. children: You have to be dramatic toward children or you are likely to hear the response which was once given to a mother.

Beauty and Character.

A famous portrait painter says that beautiful women do not take the best looking pictures. Mere beauty is never successfully reproduced by brush or camera, unless the model expresses character in the lines O. heI face and eyes. In other words physi- cal beauty alone becomes common place unless it is enriched by some beauty of expression.
