exchanged from one to the other. In
choosing 1t, the experience of chap
lain in the Philippines might have been
useful to the commission. He had col
lected a few score books from friends
at home, and for fiction had selected
sturdy books Of adventure, such as his
gentle heart told him would appeal to
brave soldiers. The books did not seem
to interest the men, and the chaplain
finally asked one of them about 1t. The

"Did you see the old tyrant look at
me this morning!" snapped the little
blonde girl at the ribbon counter. Il
thought he'd taken my head off,"
"Well, you shouldn't talk about your
steadies during business hours"
laughed a lace counter girl. you're
expected to have your mind strictly on
business and do your little best to pro-
mote the interests of the tlrm, don't
you know?"
"Oh, bother the firm. The firm Is
nothing to me. I'm working for the
best interests of Susie Gibbons, and
don't let anybody forget 1t. Besides,
that hateful Venner had no business
to come snooping around just when
was talking confidential matters. Don't
you think 80, Ethel?"
'T think he's horrld," her counter
mate responded. HE always looks like

who'd ever want to marry him"
"Oh, I don't know. He might be
tanned"
"Why don't you take the job, Kitty"
Whereat they giggled and trooped
down the aisle to the big front door.
A moment later man emerged from
behind the new partition. 1t was John
Venner, the manager of the great store.
A faint smile lowered about his lips.
"What the old .proverb about listen
ers?" he muttered. at is quite evil

injured, no picture stands out more pa.
thetically unforgetable than that Of Ad-
miral Goodrich and his wife at the
deathbed Of their third and last son,
all given to the service of their coun-
try. The first had lost his life at San
Juan, the second had died in the army.
When, in the war with Spain, the word
came to Captain Capron that his only
son lay dead in another part of the
field, he went, as soon as duty permit
ted, to the spot where the body lay,
lifted the flag which covered the face,
looked long upon it, and with the words,
"Well done, my boy" turned back to
his battery. Parents who enjoy the
blessing Of home in which all their
children are gathered, or to which they
return at frequent intervals, are hardly
capable Of understanding the anxiety
and heartache which enter so commonly
into the lives Of army and navy par
ents, even in times of peace. The SER
vice confers Its distinctions and offers
its compensations, but 1t also exacts its
sacrifices. There is always the expert
ence Of varied and trying climates;
there are long absences and frequent
separations; and more often, perhaps,
than Is supposed, there is sudden and
great danger. The quiet dignity the
uncomplaining fortitude with which
these things are borne are not among
the least admirable qualities Of those
who compose that service whose duty
Is not primarily to command, but really
to serve.

NOT THIS WAY AGAIN.

We shall not pass this way again,
If there be aught of secret pain
Tween you and me,
In the great sea
Of all mems pain let it be cast
This night, that only love may last.
We shall not pass this way again,
My heart, in pain shall we refrain
From tenderness,
And cease to bless
Each added hour that love may give
Us in this piteous space we live?
We shall not pass this way again.
HAPPY tomorrow comes in vain.

The little griefs we cherish yet?

Alice Landon's duties were not exact

self useful. There were little annoy
ances now and then, but they did not
discourage her. One day, however, a
more serious dispute arose over a sale
that Alice had made, and the purchaser,
a matron Of commanding and some
what offensive manners emphatically
declared that certain piece of lace
she had purchased was damaged when
it left the counter. Alice remembered
the sale very well and knew that the
woman was mistaken. Consequently,
she held her ground, and the woman
departed vowing to obtain satisfaction
from the management.
A little later Alice was summoned by
boy to come to the managers office.

Now and then when there Is q par
ticularly fragrant case OF Wlckedness
called to public attention advocates of
the whipping post come forward and
urge a return to this old time form of
punishment The growth of the hu-
manltarian spirit in connection with
criminology has been marked by the
abolition Of methods which once found
favor, and the whipping post long since
disappeared, except from few places.
Delaware has been the conspicuous in
stance of a State which has retained 1t.
The experience of one of the officers Of
a State Institution who has just given
up his place Is not favorable to the
effectiveness of the whipping post. He
reports that since November, 1901, he
has whipped 235 men, giving them from
five to sixty lashes each, according to
the nature of the offense. OF this num-
ber sixty had been whipped before,
some Of them as many as six times His
judgment Is that this record does not
of the whipping post as to its certain
effectiveness in lessenlng crime. He
himself has become tired of his job,
which one can easily imagine to be any
thing but pleasant one. The tenden-
cy among those who are studying GRIM
inals Is strong to do away with harsh
and cruel methods and to appeal to the
better instincts of humanity in every
way possible. They have their faith
sorely tried on many occasions. Their
efforts often appear to be futile. Those
whom they would help abuse the kind
ness of their friends. Nevertheless there
Is steady persistence in the belief In
the superiority Of kindness to brutality.
The testimony of the Delaware whip
wielder goes to show that Delaware
ought to give UP the whipping post. 1t
ls strange that the State should take
pride in clinging to a brutal anachron-
Ism.

Two hundred and ten loaded frelgh.
cars Is the train which a locomotive,
lately built for the Erie railroad, will
haul upon level track. The locomotie
weighs more than two hundred tons
and Is supported upon sixteen driving
wheels, eight on each side. A train
a mile and a half long, which is the
length Of two hundred and ten cars,
would have astounded railroad men of
the last generation, but engineers to-

trains, If they have not already made
them up.
