n humor and pathos that appealed
and its publication as story will
but add to its popularity. Polly" Is

except as the old circus people have
given her haphazzard instructions.
Fate DEGREES that one night she
stumbles as she jumps through the
hoops and Is injured. The circus can
not wait for accidents, and she Is car
ried to the house, which happens to
be parsonage, whose minister Is
young, handsome and unmarried. Here
she is educated and remains until the
busy-bodies raise a row, and Polly is
told to go, but stays as the minister's
wife. The title role Is taken by Miss
Edith Taliaferro, a most talented
young actress.

THE humber WALKS.

We cannot all attain the heights
Where fame serenely sits
With icicles around its eyes
And snowballs in its mitts,
But we can seek the modest seats
Where lowly people dwell,
For II we cannot climb aloft
We can fall down a well.
Not every one the gracious gifts
or greatness may attain,
For when they start out for success
They catch another train.
Their aim Is for the palace car
And for the through express,
But when they board the local freight
They get another guess.
And does 1t matter very much
As far as we can see?

Pray, who will wiser be?
Or are We any happier

And get so mighty and so strong
We play tag with the laws?

Much satisfaction to the soul
Up in the highest chair.

Without a sign or sob,
To stay down in the ranks and find
Contentment with the mob.

SACRED DOCUMENT FOUND.
Marriage Contract Of Chinese Emperor,
Found In Germany.

Founo IN ScTmdny.
What is considered to be one of the
most sacred documents of China Is
said to have been discovered recent.
ly in the possession of a German
family related to one Of the soldiers
who took part in the expedition OF
the European contingents against the
Boxer insurgents in 1900, and return
ed by them to the imperial archives
at Pekin. This paper is the mar
riage contract of the present EN-
peror. Enormous quantities of loot
were taken from the Celestial EN-
pire on that occasion, some of which
has since been returned to China.
Among the objects missed was the
imperial marriage contract, signed
February, 1889.
Searches were made by the Chinese
diplomatic representatives in all
countries of the world for this docu.
ment, but they were fruitless until
it turned up In Germany. 1t had
been given by the German soldier in
question to one of his relatives as n
curiosity. The contract was recog-
nized as an Official deed by German
functionary who has served a long
time in China. II was then sub
mitted to an expert, who declared it
to be the imperial parchment con.
tanning the conditions Of the Emper-
or's marriage Upon the completion
of this unofficial examination the doc
ment was returned by its holder to
Pekin.
