How the Other Half Gives.

THAT sentiments of tender charity
are innate among the poor can be seen
from case which presented itself
among n group of little children at a
school where we visited" writes Mrs.
John Van Worst in Woman's Home
Companion. They were of the most
destitute. this little class. but as reg
ular as soldiers in attendance. After
an unusual absence of two days one
of the small pupils. Mary by name,
was closely questioned by the teacher
on her return. Very reluctantly she
responded that they had been without
food at home and that she was asham-
ed to come hungry to school,
mo comment was made before the
other children. Nothing further was
said.
THE following morning small pro-
cession fled before the teachers desk
"a procession of little people. tiny
poor. ignorant. Yet not one of them
came empty handed. One brought an
apple. one piece of cheese. one roll
one slice of meat And each as she
put her meager offering down whis
pered to the teacher. It's for Mary"

WIT OF AN IRISH STORY.
Lost, as a Rule, When the Tale Is Re-
duced to Cold Type.

Lost, as Rule, When the Tale Is Re-
duced to Cold Type.
Irish wit loses more in reduction to
cold type than that of any other ma
ton on earth At least that is the
opinion of st. Louis Hibernian who
himself furnishes many excellent eX-
amples of the article in question.
when an IriShman perpetrates a wit
ticism it is always tinged with per-
sonality which in print or even III the
retelling is often completely lost. There
is always something-a wink, a smile,
an arch expression, shrug or gesture
that emphasizes the joke and must
be seen TO be appreciated Sometimes
an Irish witticism put into type is mis-
taken for mere dullness of superstition.
Il remember once hearing an irish
man tell story about q wonderful old
time king on the north coast who
caught the devil at some trick and for
| a punishment made Old Harry carve
| his own head on one of the cliffs. The
! story was told as seriously as n SER
| mon would he preached. No one could
| apparently be more sincere than the
story teller. He seemed to believe the
| legend as devoutly as though it came
| directly from holy writ.
| After he had wound up the nara
| tive, noticing a smile on my face, he
| stared in apparent surprise. Don't We
behave it? Sure, the old kings ham
mer and chisel is kept in the church
| beyant. and what better proof could
We AK And he gave a wink and 4
grin and spread out both hands in a
gesture of eXpostulation just as a law
| yer would when posing before a jury
and putting his most convincing argu-
ment in the form of question.
1T was the most exquisite bit of act
| ing l ever saw. The tone of perfect
| conviction in which he told the story
/ was inimitable; then the contrast from
solemDity to comic diSmay at the idea
of any one being so grossly incredulous
I as not to believe the story and the
/ wink, which indicated that he didn't
believe it himself and was simply talk
II ing for amusement. were worthy of
any actor that ever trod the boards.
Yet in the type all this was lost. To
appreciate properly the wit Of an Irish
| story you must hear the Irishman tell
!, it."-St Louis Globe-Democrat.
