Washingtonians who recall him so pleas

score and ten. being now seventy-two
years old. He served IN Congress for one
term three decades ago, and then came
back into public life IN Cieveland'S first
administration as First Assistant Post

known as the headsman. owing 10 the

expired was the recipient of a msgnifi-

a testimonial from the Senators. Then he
was made a member of the commission
that was sent abroad In the effort to bring
about international bimetallism. This was
his last public service. In a recent inter

wEEKLY,
The Mustache.

There is more than humor in the
rise and fall of the mustache. although
the country was amused several years
ago by humorous lecturer, who dis
coursed on the subject. 1t is contrary
10 the British army regulations for an
on1cer to shave his upper lip. From
time to time the war department has
issued general orders expressing it's
dlsapproval of the growing disregard
or the regulations, and now it is re-
ported In London that King Edward is
contemplating some action which will
compel the officers to return to the old
custom. The mustache has long been
regarded as military badge Only
one regiment in the Austro- Hungarian
cavalry may go smooth-faced, and this
is because during the Seven Years
war recruits were so scarce that this
regiment once had to go into battle
when there were nothing but beard
less boys in it's ranks. 1t behaved with
such gallantry that its members re-
main beardleSs to this day. The de-
cline of the mustache in military Eng
land is said to be due to the prefer
ence of American girls for smooth
faces and the liking of English army
officers for American girls, combina-
ton which produces new fashions and
outlaws old customs.

THE STORY.

A FAMILIAR knock sounded upon
n the door, and an instant later,
without waiting for the CHEEKY invi-
tation from within, the young lad
came bounding in, the flushed face
and sparkling eye and eager manner
indicating clearly that he had some
matter of tremendous interest and i'm
portance, at least to himself, to COM
municate. In fact SO impatient was
he to unburden his mind that he
scarcely responded to the hearty
words of welcome which were spoken
by the elderly man who was seated by
a table near small, low window.
"You will ask father for me, won't
you? you good, dear friend, Nathan" !"
burst out the lad as he threw himself
at the feet Of the elderly man and
looked eagerly up into his face
"Ask him If thou canst come and
see me oftener," responded the
prophet, half playfully, half seriously.
"Yes, I had thought thou hadst quite
forgotten me-" And he put his arm
affectionately about the shoulder Of
the youth and glanced with proud.
glad look into his animated coun-
tenance.
Don't tease mel" pleaded the boy.
Il couldn't come yesterday to see you,
for the Egyptian scholar, the guest Of
my father, was going that day, and
could not bear to miss one word of
the wonderful things he was telling
me-"
"Ah, have I lost my boy to him?"
asked the prophet, the shadow of
panied look upon his face betraying
the forced playfulness which sound.
ed in the voice.
mo, mol" was the quick reply. ''But,
oh, it means so much to me. I do
want to CO."
Want to go where, Jedidiah? ?"
asked Nathan, softly, with tremor in
his voice.
"Oh, the Egyptian told me of the
scholars of his count 3of their wis
dom and learning, and / would like
to go there and study. He said that
I could find but the beginning of
knowledge in my land" And after a
pause he added: 81 would rather
study books than learn a trade"
Nathan the prophet looked earnest
ly into the thoughtful eyes of the boy
before him. He was almost IL, the
age at which every Hebrew boy was
taught a trade, and even now the
prophet was planning the future of
the young man before him. Not all
the kings sons had learned trades,
but Nathan felt that even though he
was a kings son, it would be better
for Solomon that he be given the
training common to Hebrew lads. The
care over and discipline Of the young
boy had fallen into Nathan's hands.
