Roston High Art.

Two Western delegates to the Conven-
ton of Collegiate Alumna visited the
Public Library. They tried faithfully to
understand Chavanne's mural work, they
read all about the story of Sir Galahad
as portrayed by Abbey, and they tired
their necks gazing up at Sargent's inter-
probation of the world's religions. Then
they visited the chilrden's room. But
even there art material greeted them.
Planks were placed along the floor,
weighted with pieces of marble, plaster
and stone

A Mysterious Fort.

A press dispatch from Edmonton,
Alberta, tells of the discovery of an
ancient fort in the vicinity of Glacier
Lake. 1t is in the shape of huge
tower, which is now reduced to a
height Of forty-fve feet. 1t evidently
had been battlemented when built,
but now the battlements have de-
cayed and their ruins are overgrown
with weeds and grass, which had pre-
vented it's character being recognized
by. miners and tourists. The trenches
surrounding it can still be traced, and
prove that much care was exercised
in their construction: Bones were
found around the fort in such guam
titles that the discoveries were
shocked by the spectacle, as they were
~eFidently human skeletons. Those
who have seen the fort are unable to
venture an opinion as to what race
had made it. They are sure the
builders were not Russians, as it pre-
sents an appearance of age which
proves its existanc prior to the Rus
sian discovery of Alaska. 1t is clear

Locked Out of Jail.

In a certain county Jail of Georgia
there was once an old chap named Nose
Selby, supervisor of the institution who
housed aud fed the convicts so well that
they were greatly attached to him. He
could actually allow them to go about at
will He was accustomed to hire them
out to the farmers in the peighbOrhood
during the harvest season, and in that
way turn an honest penny for the tax
payers.
Early one morning one of these
prisoners appeared at the office of a
lawyer in the place.
Young man, asked he, ARE you an
attorney
81 am, was the reply.
Il want you to get me out of Jail on
writ of habeas corpus, and l want it
right away
'Hold on, my friend" said the law
yer. eve must have some reason to
show the court before we can ask for Il

THE cruelty of the keeper makes life
there unbearable,
"Nonsensel" exclaimed the lawyer.
There was never a kinder keeper in the
world than Nose Selby."

rheumatism in my bones. 1t settled
things in my mind. I'll not stay another

ANNOYED FOR TIPS.

While some of the men who pay
occasional visits to country houses
are so rich that few fat tips more
or less to the servants matter nothing
at all, other guests are not so lucky in
their finances; yet man does not
want to appear mean-he would
rather stay at home than get in a po-
sition where he must either seem
mean Or else do violence to his purse.
A clever English hostess, Lady Lon
donderry, realizing that these poorer
men are quite as apt to be desirable
guests as are the rich ones, has
settled the tip question once for all.
In the hall at Wynyard she has placed
a shooting tip box, which is kept
locked until after the departure Of
each shooting party. Then the box is
opened by the host or his agent, and
the contents equally distributed
among the servants. Everybody is
satisfied, and nobody's pride is hurt

DOORBELL POLITENESS.

1t is quite as important to know
how to answer the doortell as it is
to know how to ring it, says an ex-
change.
Servants are apt to be quite neg
lectful il this matter ard at many
houses one can tell whether the mis-
tress is at home or 10, by the prompt
ness or lack of promrtLess with
which the servant comes 70 the door.
To be sure, it isn't always possible
to respond instantly. In houses where
there is only one servant, she may be
engaged in EneaGirE bread or scrub

moments to wash E2r hands and adj

are Ito; always the offenders in this

Grateful Hen.

Chicken fanciers and agricuiturists
here about are puzzled over a remarkable
egg laying hen living under the guard:
ianship of Jacob Geier. The hen strayed
from her roost and wandered into Geier's
back yard several weeks ago. When
Geier opened his kitchen door the hen
tapped her wings, flew on the porch and
in at the open door past Geier.
THAT chick must be durn hurry; I'll
feed her up good and strong, b'gum,
said Geier to wife
He made good his word by preparing
ration of milk and bread, which the hen
devoured ravenously. Cackling her
thanks, she departed to the back yard.
About an hour later the hen was
discovered sitting comfortably on set
tee on the porch When the fire whistle
footed the noon hour the hen exuded a
joyous series of cackles. When Geier
arrived on the scene he beheld fresh
laid egg and the hen strutting proudly
around the yard.
since then the hen has laid an egg
every day, with three exceptions. Geier
says she has sease of gratitude, which
she displays in payment for the meal
rendered in the time of her tribulations.

Used here. In John 4, where Jesus
meets the woman of Samaria, He
being wearied with His journey, sat
On the we'll" This is the word trans
lated here, as If the apostle said, Il
labor and share the WEAKNESS of
Jesus" 1t is laboring to the point
Of fatigue, to the loss of blood. Men
will be perfected through some labor
Ing till they are spent. 1t is taking
your thought and giving it to the
thoughtless, taking your strength and
giving it to the strengthless. 1t is
the morally and spiritually healthy
taking their blood to the morally and
spiritually anaemic. 1t includes the
provision of decent houses, the ap-
portionment of a fair days labor,
the removal of every fence and bar
rier along legitimate roads, the
smashing of every paddock which
holds the soul in unholy bondage.
But to give man a better house
and render him like service in other
things is 10 more giving him Christ
than a free library is Mr.. Carnegie.
It may be Christian work, but it is
not Christ 1t is chivalrous work, but
it is no substitute for Him. I would
not class such services among things

the palace, but would not allow them

given a man better home and have
placed a garden round his house, you
have only prepared the way of the
Lord-the King has yet to come.
You have got to preach Jesus to
awake the dead, to educate the mans
conscience when he is awake, to de-
vote your energies in sacriflcial toll

mans moral and spiritual progress.

when the warfare is over that I shall
want my crown; the Lord waits to
crown me now.
Then preach Jesus, educate and re-
fine the conscience, give your blood.

your aim. Confront everybody with
that purpose in your mind, and see

BRAIN POWER

What He Was Waiting For.

A mysterious stranger with low
cred brow and menacing glare, stood
alongside one of the shoemaking ex-
hibits in a department store yester-
day and watched the shoemaker at
work. For long time he stood
there, never shifting his glance, star
ing steadily at the bench workman,
watching him put handful after hand
full of tacks in his mouth and grad
ually empty each nav load into a
shoe sole. Finally store detective
became suspicious, and after keeping
an eye on the fellow for while went
over to him and asked him what he
meant by his actions. ooh, moth
ing" answered the man. 'I'm just
waiting to see what will happen to
that shoemaker should he sneeze
when he has a mouthful of tacks. :"

GIVES HIS LIFE TO SAVE

In their sorrow there will come to
his children the consolation that
Frank G. McBreen died hero, at
time in life when most men are think
ing only Of self-preservation. Sixty
four years old, with life of ease be-
fore him, McBreen, a wealthy con-
tractor, gave his life to save woman
he had never seen before.
Mr.. McBreen lived at the Triangle
Hotel, at the junction of Jamaica and
Myrtle avenues, Richmond Hill. He
had just crossed the tracks of the
Long Island Railroad, near there,
when he heard a man shout: THAT
woman will be killed."
He turned and looked. On the
tracks stood a middle aged woman
who had run around the gates after
they had been closed for the Sag
Harbor express bound for Long Island
City. Its headlight was only hun
dred yards away. The tracks at this
point run between fences and thero is
Just room enough for person to hug
the fence and let train go by.
Without an instant's hesitation the
old man vaulted the fence like boy.
Edward Duffy, a young man of No.
1858 Fulton street, did the same.
The pair caught the woman, who in
her confusion had fallen. They
pulled her from the tracks a few sec
onds before the train whizzed by. The
younger man held the woman with
one hand and chung to the fence with
the other.
McBreen did not hold to the fence
and the suction pulled him beneath
the wheels Of the first car. The five
coaches passed over his body.
The train went on, the engineer
ignorant CT the accident. A SLOUGH
hat, a coat that was torn to ribbons
End other garments were picked up.
IN the lapel of the coat was a Grand
Army button. Mr.. McBreeE was
soldier in the Army of the Potomac
and well known in Grand Army cir
cles. He was a widoWer. Two sons
and two daughters survive him.
The woman who was saved frcg1
death was Mrs. Mary Sheele, fifty
years old, of No. 1T Norman avenue,
Evergreen, Long Island. She was
uninjured-NeWY York American.

his state duties, and in the ordinary
way they do not meet again until
