IRVING THE AssrEMIous ONE.
Poet Had Forgotten Finishing Bottle
 of Port Himself.

It was while Irving was rehezrstng ''Becket" that he told a story of Ten nyson that has both pathetic and hu- morous significance. In the earlier days. when "The Cup" was in prepRr- ation, he had been-to see Tennuyson in the Isle of Wight to discuss his ideas for it's presentation After din ner the dessert and wine were set out upon a separate table and whom they were seated the peet asked Irv- ing if he would like a glass of port.
 Yes, like glass of port" replied the actor.
 Upon which Tennyson, taking him at his word, poured him out q glass of port and, all unconscieusly. fin- fshed the remainder of the bottle him self.
 Next morning the actor had to leave and had therefore taken leave of his host overnight. But he had scarcely awakened when he saw Lord Tenny- son sitting at the foot of his bed.
 How are you this morning" he inquired, anxiously.
 Very well, indeed" was tho guests reply.
 Are you?" came the response, with just a tinge of doubt in the tones of the voice. You drank lot of port last night"
 That was Tennyson's way of re- penting after bottle of port!

Where Truth Is Essential.

Two policemen have been dismissed from the Boston force for untruthful- ness. At almost the exact time couple of West Point cadets were sent away from that great institution for the same offence The cases were curiously alike The lying came in the denial of certain offences which in neither instance would have been sufficient for expulsion. There was needless ruin of careers on the part of all four men.
 Truth telling in any walk of life is a quality that society needs for it's own good In such organizations as a police force or the army it is abso- lutely essential for discipline and ef- fective service. This has been so long recognized that there has grown up a great contempt for liar among sol- diers. As policemen become more and more highly organized and proud of

MRS. coMEa's sEsr JUDGMENT.
Like That of Others, it Occasionally
 Was at Fault.

The mistakes which were plentifully sprinkIed along Mrs. Corners career, were never regretted by any one more than by Mrs. Conner herself. T used the very best judgment I had" she said. referring to one unfortunate oc- currence. but as usual, everything went wrong.
 You see, went to Greenville in the morning with Mrs. Hobart, intending to go on to Nashua; but I changed my mind when the weather turned cool and spent the day with Anna Woods, going home at dusk. I'd forgotten my little bag with my key in it, so went right over to Mrs. Hobart's.
 She'd gene down the road to Mrs. Coles, but found her key behind the left-hand blind. and went right in
 "The house was dark, but said to myself: I won't light a lamp for fear of soaring her, a timid woman living all alone as she does So sat in the dark till I heard her coming up the walk.
 When she found the door was un- locked she gave kind of a gasp; so I stepped forward, and then, long as I had a cold so my voice didn't sound natural, and I was afraid 'tw0uld scare her, she being so timid, put out my hand and laid it on her arm.
 And if you'll believe mo-" finished Mrs. Conner, plaintively. "she fell right over in a faint, and cut her forehead on the edge of the rocking chair, and thought I'd never bring her to!
 There's no use trying to be care full with a woman like her."-Youth's Companion.

The Chinese are rapacious eaters at the feasts which are given in honor of their ancestors. At these feasts the tables groan with all the good things which the most efficient cooks can provide-pork, snow white rice, pick led cucumbers, chickens, ducks and birds nest soup. For some minutes before the feast the six or seven hun dred men sit at the tables in silence. Then at a given signal begin the clink- ing of chopsticks and the noise of indrawn breaths by which the Chi nese cool the hot mouthfuls of rice which they shovel down their throats. Presently, when the hot samshu be- gins to work and the faces become flushed, a babel of voices fills the temple.

Stern Discipline.

The stern discipline that rules in the Christian Science church is exhib- tied in the roofing out of Mrs Stet- sons followers. Some of them are deprived of a means of living as we'll as cut off from church connection. For Christian Science is business as well as d religion.

Attorney John J. Dunn, acting for Judge John w. Sweeney, counsel for J. Frank ChampIin. who brought the in Junction proceedings. urged that the PaWcatuck Valley Street Railway com pany be required to furnish an in dennity bond to guarantee the terms Of the vote of permit, and that at no time shall the highway be opened for the work at a length of over 500 feet, or one-half of the distance that is now being opened at a time. and that the trolley company be compelled to live close to the terms of the permit.
 General Manager Sewell said that in trolley road building it is customary to open for work at least 1,500 feet at time, to permit of a large working force and earlier completion of the contract But in awarding this contract 1.60O feet was the limit stipulated and that was considered a small space for a large force of workmen. He said it was the plan to do the work to the least inconvenience of patrons of the road and the general public and effort was being made to have the work con- pleted in eighteen working days
 Councilman Flynn believed that the opening of the highway for a distance of 1000 feet at a time was not neces- sary. as it was more than ample for the force now em ployed, and could be reduced without detriment to the con- tractors to TOO feet. MT Flynn said the people who were obliged to walk the distance in transfer were dissatis- fed. He believed a shorter distance was demanded by the public and that he was in the council in the interests of the people of Westerly and not in the sole interest of the Pawcatuck Valley Street railway and therefore against the wishes of the people He wanted to be recorded as being in favor of the rebuilding and reequip- ment of the trolley road to Watch Hill, but insisted that the public be safe guarded and inconvenienced to the minimum while the work was in prog ress. Councilman Cullev was heartily in accord with the stand taken by Mr Flynn and he, too. was opposed to aI- lowing 1000 feet of the highway to be open for work of rebuilding at any one time.
