ANOTHER GUARDIAN PORTRAIT.

TT is well that Eastman Johnson's portrait Of Grover Cleveland
10 to hang in the collection of State and city executives and
national notables that adcrns the Governors Room, the Mayors
ROBINS and the corridors of City Hall. These portraits by painters
like Trumbull and Elliott make that venerable building a Hall Of
Fame in a more vital sense than the little temple uptown. Grover
Ctvelands takes a wel-earned place among them, and his memory
stres the memories of nm edifice which knew Lafayette living, and
Lincoln and Grant dead.
For officials who can receive inspiration it is there aplcnty in the
yaage OF Grover Cleveland. 1t should be hard for one to sell his
honor or trucke to clamor or knuckle to a machine under the gaze
OF the man who said that "publc Office is a public trust" the Gov.
ernor who espoused the merit system, the President who rebuked
the excuses Of high protection and stood out against the free silver
madness.
The ehfgy of Cleveland ought to have an inspiring and restrain.
ing influence. Yet it joins those of other patriots which have looked
down in helplessness on scenes sufficient almost to make their "pic-
tured lips break into voice" as Wendell Phillips fancied the Faneuil
li@l portraits doing. Brave, strong men have sat in office under
the sanctions of the City Hall portraits and been true to their mont
tions. But if this city had always been governed by officials with the
mental integrity of John Jay, with the courage of George Clinton.
with the vision of Dewitt Clinton, with the resolution of Hamilton
Fish, with the intellectual horizon of William II. Seward. il would
have claims to greatness it cannot urge to-day.

HERE was y little girl named

rage. while Susan. who was Mary's
dearest friend and who a no little
sister or brother either. walked beside
Mary wheeling her dolly In a go-cart.
All the ladies stopped and said what
. pretty baby Mary's sister was. And
h little sister would say ''goo-goo"
and smile at the ladies'. But no one
ever stopped and spoke to Dollie. And
this made Susan feel very badly.
II want a real live baby like Mary's
little sister," sobbed Susan. Dolls
aren't any use. any way. Why can't
YOU talk?" she said, snatching up Dol
lie and shaking her SO vigorously that
Dollie's pretty brown curls few all
about like a pinwheel.
Then she threw Dollie into a corner
and went to play with some other toys.
She tried 10 amuse herself. first with
one then with another toy, but after all.
NONE OF them vas so pretty or Gun
ming as Dollie. And Susan began to
feel very sorry and very much ashamed
OF what she Tad done.
So she went back to where sho had
left Doliie. And there Dollic lay. very
quiet. pom the floor, with her heels
over her head and her face hidden by
a pink dress. And she was crying, all
20 herself. and saying;
I'm so sorry that Susan does not
love me because ] can not talk ard
laugh like Mary's baby sister. ] would
like 10 tain, too. but dolls never can
But I can always understand whatever

Now Susan was more ashamed than
ever, and she stopped and picked UP

her;
"Oh, Dollle! am sorry. too! I'm
sorry for what ! did to YOU. And II
you viii forgive me and love me again
III be very happy"
or course Dollie forgave Susan. Then
they, Rugged and kissed each other and
were good friends once more.
Just then the Sandman came In

Murmurs arose on all sides. It was

audience who did not know the JarI
children's grandmother personally were
pointing Master Jarr and little Miss
Emma Jarr as the deserted babes OF

Some OF the most excitable OF thu
