The Mysterious Passenger.

The captain of vessel which was bringing to America in the fall of 179t a mysterious passenger who had come aboard at Hamburg watched the latter so closely that at last the passenger said one day: .'Sir, this is not the first occasion upon which I have observed the attentive scrutiny you bestow up on me. May I inquire the reason"
 Sir" responded the candid captain, you took passage on my ship as a Dane I don't believe you're anything of the kind"
 The passenger smiled. The smile was full of perspicacity and confidence and was followed with, Pray tell me, then. what you believe me to be-"
 At this question Captain Ewing fidgeted, hesitated and finally blurted out: Well. to be honest, I think you are a gambler. You've well nigh ruined yourself at home and are now coming to fleece the fools you'll find on shore"
 The young mans smile broadened. The next minute he turned grave again. lowered his voice and replied: Captain Ewing. as you have studied me during this voyage, so I have studied you. l have come to the con clusion that you are a man to be trusted am Louis Philippe. duo d'Orleans, eldest son of that Louis Philippe d'Orleans who was slain by the guillOtine on the 7th of Novem- Der, almost three years ago"

When Dead Men Ate.

In the medical press is story of a man who believed that he was dead and who for that reason refused to take any nOurishment How can the dead eat and drink?" he asked when food was pressed upon him. It was obvious that unless something were done to bring him to his senses the de- fusion must soon become actuaIity-he would die Of starvation. The strangest ruse was tried. Half a dozen attend ants, draped in ghostly white, crept silently in single file into the room ad- joining his and with the door open sat down where he could sec them to a hearty meal. Here. who are these peOple?" inquired the patient. Dead men," answered the doctor. "whatr' said the other Do dead men eat?" ''TO he sure they do. as you see for yourself" was the answer Well" said the corpse. If that is so. I'll join them. for I'm starving" The spell was broken. and he sat down and ate like forty famished men.

the athletic field he was never anything les'

His influence over boys was truly wonder
full and their devotion TO him nothing less
than that. Boys usually never waste much
affection upon their teachers. but Mr.. White
won the esteem and love of every boy In
school. During his illness they showed hin
every attention In their power. They vfee
with each other In their efforts TO walt upon
him, and begged to be allowed 10 ST. through
the long nights with him, and help In bis
nursing and care. Today they weep With
you-yoar loss is their loss, and your sorro"
their sorrow.
To this mother, and these brothers and ais
tiers, I bring the tenderest sympathy and the
loving prayers Of many fathers and mothers
whose boys have been made better sons be-
cause of your son and your brother. Across
the intervening miles OF space their hearts
reach out to your hearts and share your sor-
rows and your hallowed memories.

Len White.

When "remorseless times fierce spirit OF the
glass and scythe,' forces on us his unwelcotne
presence and takes away from our midst a
friend of three score years and ten, we are
sad. When the Grim Enemy Of mankind
rdthlessly comes amongst US ana carries
away some little family idol OF a few short
months or years. our heart strings are torn
asunder and we bleed with sorrow. When
the frail and the delicate and the doomed are
swept away by the remorseless tide OF time IL
comes to as as a shock and again the wells OF
sorrow overflow and our spirits are flooded
by It's cold and icy waters. When the
strong young mau dies, we are stunned.
The tree that Is old and totteripg, who's
roots are sepped and brittle, will fal; the
tender shoot may easily be broken; but tie
tree that Is young and strong usually With

splintered and dead, he has fallen. H.

darkly" and past finding out are the ways
of the Almighty. Let II suffice Us to know
that He doeth all things well.
Len White, Jr,, was q boy 10 tie to. He
never shirked a duty nor did be ever refuse q
task. His shoulders we're broad and he
carried bis burdens well. Even while in the
grades be showed that he had that in him
that goes to make the man Of mark. He had
NO pride except the pride that makes the
No. q; no ambition that would not raise others
with himself; few were his vices, many were
his virtues. His heart throbbed In unison
With the great heart throbs OF the masses, anc
