erect crosses at the junction of four

Isabey, the painter, was at Malmai-

Of leapfrog on the lawn. Isabey had
already jumped over the heads Of
most of them when at the turning Of
path he espied the last player, who,
In the requisite position, seemed to be
waiting for the ordeal. Isabey pur-
sued his course without looking. but
took his fight so badly as only to
reach the others shoulders. and both
rolled over and over in the sand.
To Isabey's CONSERVATION, his sup
posed fellow player turned out to be
Bonaparte, who got up, foaming at the
mouth with anger, and, drawing his
sword, pounced upon the unfortunate
artist. Isabey, luckily for himself, bet
ter at running than at leaping, took to
his heels and, jumping the bitches d.
viding the property from the highroad,
got over the wall and never stopped
until, breathless, he reached the gates
Of the Tuileries.

THE greatest object lesson this country
has had for many years was given it last
week by the redoubtable Col. Roosevelt.
He was invited TO attend banquet given
by the Hamilton Club in Chicago, and
when he learned that among those who
were TO sit with him in the banquet hall
was United States Senator William Lori
mer, the corrupt scoundrel who stole his
seat in the Senate by outrageous bribery,
he boldly and promptly refused to attend
unless Lorimer was excluded. Lorimer's
invitation was withdrawn and Mr.. RooSe-
welt was the guest OF honor.
The ex-PreSident'S action has Stittened
the knees Of decent men generally, while
boodlerS and briberS are coneSpoDdingy

A COMMITTEE OF the Episcopal Church
has recommended that the splendid old
missionary hymn, From Greenland's
Icy Mountains" be dropped from a mis-
sion hymna to be submitted TO the con-
vention Of this church at its meeting next
month. Tie committee objects to the
hymn because iii emphasizes natural
rather than revealed religion, apoStrophi-
sizing mountains and winds and waters"
This may be very satisfactory reasonto
the committee, but it will not lesson the
love of the people for the inspiring hymn
that has been an inspiration to millions
since it was written by Bishop Heber
ninty years ago.
Fortunately this ultra-refined committee
is not liable to have its way, for vigorous
protest against its recommendation is be-
ing voiced all over the country, and the
hymn will probably be retained in the
hymnal.
