A WALPOLE ANECD0TE.
70 Save the Woman's Life She
Couldn't Recall Who Told II.

81 heard a very funny story the other
night about Horace Walpole." said
Mrs. Blake ~ wish l could remember
who told it. Henry, can you remem-
Der? Was it Mr.. sellers?"
NO. said Blake stifiiy; sit wasn't
Sellers"
81 wonder If it could have been Mr..
Windsor?'
NO" repeated Blake; "it wasn't
Windsor"
Before Mr.. Blake had a chance to ex-
press an affirmative or negative opin-
ion of that hazard as to the source of
the Walpole anecdote Mr.. Barton came
in. Mrs Blake. being by that time
sure of herself. tried on him her rec
ipe for winning universal affection.
"Oh, Mr.. Barton" she said. II am
very glad to see you. l have hardly
stopped laughing since 1 saw you the
last time"
Mr. Barton, a cadaverous man with
solemn eyes. looked rather foolish.
"Indeed?" he said. MAY ask what
about?''
"Over that funny story you told
about Horace walpole." said Mrs.
Blake.
"M-m-m-Horace WalpoleT" STAN
mered Mr.. Barton. 81 am afraid you
must have got me mixed up with some
body else. l don't know the first thing
about Horace Walpole. and IL l did
know anything funny about him
couldn't tell 1t. To tell funny story
is beyond my powers. Even IL 1t was
funny to start with 1t wouldn't be by
the time / got through with It"
Mrs. Blake's spirits were somewhat
dashed by her fiasco in finding an
owner for the Walpole story. but she
bore up courageously. and later when
Mr. Markham came in she drew him
out of earshot OF Mr.. Barton and dilat-
cd on the pleasure his story OF Horace
Walpole had given her. Mr.. Markham
was not cast In the funeral mold that
gave to Mr.. Barton his grave aspect.
but he protested himself totally inca
pable of telling funny story about
Horace Walpoie or anything else.
Presently Mrs. Blake left the room
TO prepare the sandwiches. Mr.. Blake
followed her.
For the love OF the Lord" he said.

Over the Aims hv Water.

That most wonderfully useful of all
the servants of men, water, which
seems to have been discovered, as
such, only in very modern times, and
which is now accomplishing marvels
undreamed of decade or two ago, has
just been set a new task in little
Switzerland, at which the scientific
world is again opening its eyes in
astOnishment So writes II. G. Hunt
ing in the Technical World Magazine
A tube-or rather two tubes-full Of
water, are to be made to lift and lower
boats, burdened with an international
commerce, over the most formidable
mountain range of Europe, the Alps.
Actually the liquid element is to pick
up the loaded craft in Italy and to
deposit them in Germany by its own
natural power without the use of
propelling machinery. Balancing the
waters of the mountain lakes against
each ether, Italian engineers propose
to create new road for commerce,
which will become almost literally an
artery Of world traffic, with an ebb
and flow that will draw and push the
currents of trade back and forth, like
the beat of a great heart feeding the
veins Of two nations. 1t is a most re-
markable enterprise, and the method
by which the feat of taking boats over
the mountains is to be accomplished is
an extraordinary invention.

Teaching Journalism,

Yale is not to have the field Of
practical teaching of journalism to
herself. The University of Missouri
also has a plan perfected and in
structors appointed for four years
course, journalism to be on an equal
footing with the departments of law,
OF engineering and the other profess
sions. Col. Harvey's idea of a daily
newspaper as training field will be
followed, an experienced Missourian
editor having been called to the po-
sition of dean and editor of the col
lege paper. The four years aca-
demic course will include lectures
upon history, economics, sociology,
public law, etc, as well as upon the
technical details Of newspaper work.
This is the practical plan, remarks the
Boston Herald, and it should sue
ceed. Naturally, graduates will still
have something to learn in the vicis-
situdes Of actual newspaper life, some
thing which they could never learn in
the made-to-order environment of the
college newspaper office But the uni
versity is only a training school for
any profession. There is no reason
why it should not successfully perform
that service for the newspaper profess
sion

PRIEST FELLED BY THE KNIFE

Sunday morning, when he was twice
stabbed by parishioner Immediately
after he had finished singing high
mass.
After attacking the priest, Telling

man, Joseph Schuette, a prosperous
farmer and devout member of the con.
grcgation, turned his freshly sharpen.

John Gates, two of those who rushed
to the priests aid.
Mrs. Ginter was cut in the hand,
while Gates received two wounds, one
in the hand and another in the elbow.
Neither Mrs. Ginter nor Gates were
seriously hurt
Father Lubeley, who is a native OF

brothers reside here, was stabbed in

of the neck, the knife just missing a
jugular vein by hairs breadth.
The clergyman was attacked from
behind just after he left the altar, and
was standing in the church door, in
full view of about 400 worshipers.

AT GETTYSBURG

How soon the first fierce rain of death,
In big drops dancing on the trees,
Withsrs the folage.-At a breath,
Hot as the blast that dried old seas,
The clover falls like drops of blood
From mortal hurts. and stains the sod:
She wheat is clipped, but the ripe grain,
Here long ungarnered shall remain;
And many who at the drums long roll
Sprung to the charge and swelled the
cheer,
And set their flags high on the knoll,
Ne'er knew how went the fight fought
here;
For them knell tumultuous shells
Shook from the consecrated bells,
AS here they formed that silent rank,
Whose glorious star at twilight sank.
And night, which lulls all discords-night,
Which stills the folds and vocal wood,
And, with the touch of finger light,
Quiets the pink Tipped brooks wild mood,
Which sends the wind to seek the latch,
And seals young eyes while mothers
watch
Night stays the battle, but with day
Their lives, themselves, foes hurl away,
shall be to-morrow's battlefield.
IRE dying died or dead were cold.
Hew hosts pressed on the lines to hold,
And held them-hold them now in slSaa,
While stars and sentinels go arouuc.
And war-worn chargers shrink like sheep
Beside their riders on the ground.

quarter of an hour or so until Eleanor,
passing on her way out to water the
verbenas, stopped to say: Grandma,
you look droWsy; take this pillow"
and she slipped cushion behind the
old woman's back.
Then as she started down the
steps: I'm going to the gate to watch

Strangely enough he did not wait
for her words. She did not-could not
speak.
He went on: what have you got
against me, Lindy? Is it because 1

The words came in choppy, disjoint-

ceased.
The chair began to rock again
sedately this time, and another speak

Philadelphia, Pa, May 25.-Awful In
its result was wreck of trolley cars
Oh the Chestnut Hill traction line,
about II miles outside the city, late
Sunday night, and meager information
is to the effect that ten persons are
dead and nearly 100 injured.
The day was an ideal one, and all
outgoing cars were crowded with pleas
ure seekers. At the place where the
accident occurred there is a steep
grade, and one car, from some un
known cause, left the track at the bot
tom of the grade. Right behind it
were others. The derailing of the one
seems to have knocked the nerve out
Of the motormen of these others. Five
motormen lost control of their cars
and one by one, in quick succession,
they crashed into the first, their
precious freight having no chance of
escape.
News of the disaster was at once
sent to the city, and physicians, nurses
and ambulances hastened to the scene.
Meanwhile homes in the neighborhood
were converted into temporary hos.
pitfalls and every aid possible given by
the citizens.
The current was cut off by the
breaking of the trolley wires SO that
it was impossible to send relief cars to
the scene. Owing to the distance and
the difficulty of communication def.
mite information is hard to secure.
One report is TO the effect that the
first car to be wrecked was derailed
by second car on d cross line crash
ing into it, but this can not be verified.
The wreck occurred on the Chestnut
Hill branch of the Schuylkill Valley
Co.'S line at Thorps lane. In the mad
struggle Of the passengers 81 get out
of the smashed-up cars, which were
left in total darkness, many women
and children were trampled upon, and
it is these who constitute the majority
Of the injured.
Men who succeeded in escaping
themselves we're, horror-stricken on
learning tnat wives and children were
still struggling in the cars and plunged
into the mass of passengers again TO
save them. The cries and means OF
the injured We're heard by residents in
the sparsely settled ncighborhood, who
at once went to their rescue.

A New Movement,

A movement is on foot to decorate
the graves of the wives, mothers and
sisters of old soldiers, wherever
buried, as well as the graves of the
soldiers. Commander Joseph R. Jar
v.s of Golden post, in the Department
of Illinois, recently delivered an ad.
dress on the subject and commended
the movement to the G. A. R. through.
out the country.
1t is said that similar move will
be made by the confederate veterans,
SO that in the future on Memorial
day, north and south, the graves of
those who fought the battle at home
as we'll as those who went to the field
may be remembered.
