fourths of the saloonkeepels deied
the law and remained open. The bet

AN ENIGMA IN STONE.
SNirvana" In the Rock Creek Gene
terry at Washington.


terry at Washington
So many things may be said of St
Gaudens-of the traits of his genius.
his modesty, his deep sympathy with
all who possessed high ideals or who
had noble thoughts; of his own noble
generosity, his willingness to sacrifice
himself for the advancement of art,
his keen perception of beautiful char
octer, or of fine impulse that often
shone for him out of the most COM
monplace of lives or of features. One
incident of many, says Harper's Week
~, may not only illustrate him, but
help to illumine a masterpiece of his
which has perplexed some minds that
may be worth the enlightening. "The
work is the figure Of 'Nirvana' in the
Rock Creek cemetery at Washington.
st. Gaudens was in Washington in
the winter of 1902, making his beauti-
full relief Of Wayne MacVeagh and
Mrs. MacVeagh, and Hildegarde Haw-
thorne was there, too, and visited more
than once that dreaming figure in the
cemetery. At last she was moved to
write some verses, which she sent to
a magazine, but the editor thought that
he had seen verses on the sculptor's
work that better expressed its senti-
ments, and returned the verses with
the stimulating suggestion that some
day he would show the young woman
some real poetry about the figure. St
Gaudens, too, had seen both poems,
and when he heard of this expression
of the EDITORS he wrote IN him and
said that Hildegarde Hawthorne had
OWNED his intention as no writer had
done, and therefore the verses are in
print. So, if you like, you may solve
the riddle by reading them"

The Old Suex Canal.

Few people are aware that there had
been a canal across the isthmus of
Suez before De Lesseps ever conceived
the idea Of his monumental enterprise.
A canal across the isthmus was actual
ly constructed 800 years before the
Christian era and served as a water
way for small vessels until about 1000
years ago, when 1t was allowed to fall
into disuse. Napoleon revived the idea
and instructed one of the great engi-
neers of his day to investigate the mat
ter, but though a favorable report was
presented to him, in which NJ. Lepere
recommended the restoration of the
canal, the work itself was never touch
ed. When NJ. de Lesseps undertook
the task of cutting the canal he thought
at first to follow the idea of Napoleon
and restore the ancient waterway, but
this plan was abandoned and the pres
ent plan determined upon.

z Some people are often accused of be

The Other Way Around.

The loyalty of the Scottish highland
er to his kilt Is picturesque thing.
He viii never admit that it makes him
cold, and highlanders who were suffer
ing from cold in the ordinary dress of
civilization have been known to substi-
tute the kilt for it in order to get
warm, though this would be much like
removing ones coat and waistcoat and
rolling up ones shirt sleeves for the
same purpose.
1t is said that a stranger, seeing a
soldier in full highlander uniform shiv-
ering in a cold wind, asked him:
Sandy, are you cold with the kilt?''
INA, ma, mon," the soldier answered
Indignantly, "but I'm nigh kilt with
the cauld."

HIS SYMPATHY.
IL Would Have Been Worth More Only

IL Would Have Been Worth More Only
He Lacked Presence of Mind.
In the criminal court in Baltimore a
darby was on trial for stealing a
watch, which he had pawned. He was
identified by the owner as the person
who grabbed the watch out of his pock-
ct, yet the darky claimed to be limo
cent. When asked how he came in
possession of the watch he said:
Il was standing on the corner when
man comes up to me and says he is
hard up and hasn't u cent to buy food
with, and he wants to sell me this
watch for So. l knew could get 81 on
it in pawn, and / felt sorry for him
and bought the watch for So and pawn
ed it for 81. That's how got the
watch"
The prosecutor then asked, if he had
bought the watch for So, knowing he
could pawn it for 81, simply to help
the man along because he felt sorry for
him, why he did not advise him to
pawn it himself, and then he would
have had 81 instead of So.
well, you see," said the prisoner, 'T
didn't have the presence of mind to do
dat."-Judge's Library.
