The strong old face opposite sud-

"Me !' she cried.

Kate Percival had risen and taken
hold of the wrinkled hand. "You
will come, will you not?" she en-
treated gently, "for his sake-he
loves you So"
And so 1t came that the son who
could not go to see his mother had
his mother brought to him.
An Eastern train two weeks later
steamed into the little Western sta
ton. Among the passengers were
two people, one woman, young and
beautiful, with an older one, wrinkled
and white-haired, yet with a COM
manding grace and dignity all her
own.
A man, tall and pale, with eager
eyes, was waiting. AS she came
down the steps of the car the old wo.
man saw him.

ward her and folding her in his arms.
"Oh, mother, mother"
my son." she whispered in
choked voice.
He dropped his head upon her
breast and the two stood quite still,
wrapped In each others arms. The
richest parishioper had turned away,
but the next moment the minister
grasped her by the hand.
"Let me thank you," he cried,
brokenly.

quivered. "-I have no mother, she

and saw the grief that mothers loss
must ever bring.
"God bless you," he murmured.
"God bless you. Yes-yes. I un-

Two Englishmen on visit to Ire
land hired a boat for the purpose OF
having a sail.
One, thinking he would have a
joke at Pats expense, asked him if
he knew anything about astrology.
"Be jabers, no." said Pat.
"Then that's the best part of your
life just lost"
The second Englishman then ask
ed Pat if he knew anything about
theology.
"Be jabers, no."
"Well, must say that's the very
best part of your life LOST
A few minutes later sudden squall
arose, and the boat capsized. Pat
began to swim. The Britons, how
ever, could not swim, and both called
loudly to Pat to help them.
do you know anything about
swimology?" asked Pat.
NO." answered both.
"Well, be jabers, then both of your
lives is lost |"

CHARACTER IN THE FACE.

The face as a map of character and
disposition is the subject of an elabo-
rate study of an Englishwoman. She
holds that the reading of the features
can be reduced to an exact science.
There is an elaborate classification
of eyes. Among the broad deductions
is the dictum that dark eyes invaria-
bly, indicate strong, passionate ma
ture, while light blue ones show a cal
culating, cool and resolute character.
Light brown eyes are signs of intel
ligence, fancy, fckleness in love and a
rapidly fuctuating temperament. A
sure indication of oratorical gift is
projecting eyes and they also betoken
literary skill in the use of language.
A strongly developed nose is mark
of superior endowmerts. The owner
of big nose has more energy than
the owner of small one.
The majority of men vino have be-
come renowned as rulers and leaders,
il isspeinted ont, had biz noses-~Gmsar
tellect ana Dig nose can always
reckoned on to make more OF mar
than a man with great brain and a
little nose.
The nostrils also have their signifi-
cance. Large nostrils indicate cour-
age little ones, cowardice. Long
narrow ones show activity and bodi-
" vigor. Broad nostrils opening to-
ward the sides show prediction for
horses.
Mouth and lips are of full sugges-
tiveness. The man with a hanging
underlip is apt to lack perseverance
and concentration of purpose. The
modest individuals lower lip is ha-
bitually pressed close against the up
per lip at the centre.
The sentiment of hate causes hard
dropping of the lower lip so as to show
the teeth. Persons who habitually
show the teeth in this way are apt to
be malevolent.
The chin and lower jawbone are
important indexes of character. True
love is evident in face in which the
iawbone broadens clear back to the
level of the wisdom teeth. This is
true, both of men and women.
The youth who seeks an amiable
spirit in his sweetheart must choose
a girl with gently curving lower lips
and full and we'll rounded chin; her
eyes must be soft and brown. If he
desires great constancy, he must look
carefully to the spread of her lower
jaw. Economy is promised by a
widening of the nose just above the
wings of the nostrils.
On the other hand, the young woman
who desires an industrious husband
should choose a man with long upper
lip. If she desires even good temper
in her spouse. she had best choose
one with round face and curly hair.

MODERN BUSINESS PoL1rEEEss.

"a custom of politeness that is
modern In the extent of its practice,
if not in its introduction" said man
old enough to be acquainted with
ways comparatively speaking ancient
sis that Of writing thanks or thank
YOU after the signature on receipted
bills sent in due course on payment OF
accounts form that costs little eff
fort on the part of the signer and that
is sure to be not unpleasing to the
person to whom such politeness is Of
fered.
widespread is this custom in its
practice now, and so in its observance
not likely to be surprising; but to-
day there came to my attention an IN
stance of courtesy in this form that
did at first seem rather strained and
excessive. =,
"On a receipted bill received with
goods sent to me c. 0. d. found
after the signature the polite thank
vou.' and here this seemed almost SD
perHuous; for this was a bill present
ed in the course of a purely transient
and impersonal transaction. But
moments reflection showed that the
thank you here was really neither
superhuous nor excessive. but quite
correct that we would have receiv-
ed from the salesman if we had paid
him the cash for the goods at the
time of their purchase.

WHAT A DOCTOR Is GOOD FOR.

Life is such constant rush to a
we'll known physician that to secure
a little recreation he has recourse to
ruses. A visitor called one night and
began a speech to the servant:
"I want the doctor to come as
quickly as he can"
"He can't do it p the servant an
swered. "He left orders that he was
so busy that, unless it was absolutely
a matter of life and death, he couldn't
go out at all this evening""
But" said the caller, lit isn't
illness at ALL"
"What then?"
"We want him to come over and
take hand in game of whist"
ooh, that's different.
The servant disappeared, and re-
appeared moment later.
''The doctor says he'll be over in
ten minutes, sir" he announced.

For "THE UNION"
CITY OF REFUGE-BALTIMORE.
BY EDWIN HIGGINS.

City of Refuge! Sweet refuge of song!
The birds are coming in troop and In throng.
From mountains afar and valleys between
Where the skies are blue and meadows are green,
Tis song on the wing. with carols as free
City OF Refuge, they are coming to thee.
The City of Refuge stands without walls;
Love from her windows in sweet accents call;
Her portals are open; gates she hath none,
She greeteth her guest by starlight or sun;
The sweetest Of grass and grandest of trees
Are shaking their sides, rejoicing to please.
The City of Refuge lives without guns
The way of the huptsman she always shuns;
In parks and squares with her jeweled arm
The squirrel and deer she shelters from harm;
The Mayor and Council have given the word
To prison the man that dares hunt bird.
In sable and gold mid banners of green
Oriole castles at sunset are seen;
Dear City OF Refuge, fragrant with song,-
Thine sweetness and beauty all the day long.
When the King goes down in his golden car
There are vespers to greet the Evening Star.
o, City of Refuge, dear haven of rest
There is peace on thy shield, love on thy crest
City of Safety we bring thee our best
The songs of our heart and joys of our breast;
City of Refuge, like city above,
God bless and keep thee meath banner of love.

MRS. ELLEN sHANNAHAN.


A mass of requiem was celebrated
yesterday morning at st. Johns church
by Rev. Father Coyle for the late Mrs.
Ellen Shannahan, who died at Spring
side home at midnight on Saturday.
Previously she had been at the state
hospital, where she was taken after a
bad fall, and in both places was very
kindly treated.
Mrs, Shannahan was born in Ireland,
and formerly resided in Louisville, Ky,
and more recently in Naugatuck and
Waterbury, until she came to New Ha-
ven She was well connected, we'll ed
ucated and naturally a woman of re-
finement. She was a widow, and her
two sons, James and John Shannahan,
were last heard of as serving their
country one in the army and the other
in the navy, and the last heard from
the elder was written while he was in
Manila.
Through the generosity and patriot
ism Of Rev Father Coyle he provided
her with a special grave in st. Law

the committal services at the grave,

A VERY Sad CASE.
FATHER STRUCK By ENGINF
MOTHER PLEADS IN COURT.

John Farrell Taken Unawares by the
MayfIOwer Express While Returning
From COurt-His Boy, Aged Nine,
Charged with Stealing.
One of the most pitiful cases that has
come before the city court for some
time was that of James Farrell, aged
nine years, son of John Farrell, of 147
Putnam street. The boy, who is a
smart, prepossessing lad, has already
been charged on several other occasions
with petty thefts. His father was in
court as a witness, and his mother, who
has had nine children, seven of whom
are dead, was also there to plead for
the little fellow, and while she was in
the midst of her pleadings a call was
sent in to police headquarters for the
ambulance to proceed to the depot,
where FaTelrs father had been struck
by the Mayflower express when on his
way back from court.
Mr.. Farrell is employed about the en-
gines in the yards, and, as nearly as
can be learned, he was at work on an
engine near the coal bridge in the
yards, when the Mayflower express
came rushing towards the depot from
New York.
Just how the accident happened
could not be learned, but Mr.. Farrell
must have been too close to the tracks,
for he was struck by the train. He
was carried to the station by fellow
workmen and as soon as possible he
was hurried to the New Haven hospi-
tai in the police ambulance There the
physicians worked for some time over
the patient and then reported that the
only injuries found were a cash on the
side of the face and fractured leg.
There are no signs of any internal i'm
juries so far. 1t is expected that he
will recover.
The case Of the little boy was contin-
ued by the court.
