DRAMA IN REAL LIFE.
10 Play That Was Enacted In the
 New York Subway.

a0 Play That Was Enacted In the
 New York Subway.
 subway train was leaving Grand central station with it's usual 5 o'clock Soad. In corner by the door sat man whose worn clothes and shabby shoes were whitened with the lime he worked in. His face was lean and marked with tired lines, and his hands. joint swollen and blunted. hung weari- ly between his knees. A large woman, bejeweled and plumed, entered the car with a rustic of skirts and a jingle of 6nery that attracted all eyes. Sway ng uncertainty on her high heels as she made for the only empty seat, she was thrown from her balance by sudden Iurch of the train. and only the labor er's promptly outstretched arm saved her from an ignominious fall.
 She strengthened herself with what grace she could and turned with smile to thank the gentleman who had rescued her. A glance at the workman, however, made her expression change To one of disdain. With a percepdble sniff, she ostentatiously brushed her gown where it had come in contact with the mans hand and sank into ;he seat Looking as if he had receiv- ed blow in the face. he shrank back and dropped his eyes in confusion.
 Across the car, watching the little episode. sat lady with sleepy child in her arms The little girl. perhaps three years old. was dressed in spotiess white. from her dainty kid shoes to the deep frilled bonnet that framed her rosy face When the guard called Sev- enty-second street the man slowly rose. and the lady opposite stood up with the child still in her arms. Touching the mans arm. she said, with smile:
 Twill you not be kind enough to car " my baby up the stairs? She is too sleepy to walk and very heavy for me to lift
 The man strengthened himself and with face alight, carefully took the lit- tie white clad form in his arms and led the way up the stairs. Passersby stared curiously at the trio. but there was no consciousness of that in the wOman's gracious '"Thank you! That was a great help"
 As the mother and child passed on the man lifted his battered hat and turned homeward with buoyant step. Youths Companion.

"Many a slender fagpole has been ruined," said a rigger, "by drawing the halyards down too snugly when mak- ing them fast after hauling down the flag. If this is done in dry weather and it comes on wet the shrinking of the halyards thus drawn taut to start with may be enough to bend the pole, and if it should be left in that way long enough the pole would be perma- nently bent Flag halyards when no flag is flying should be made fast with a little slack'' 'r ; .H

The Lonesome American Millionaire.
An English critic of American traits,
writing in the Metropolitan Magazine,
says: I'm America the lot Of the rich
man Is not very happy one. He has
very little to spend his money on. In
England you might have an income Of
q hundred thousand pounds year and
still might possibly feel the want Of
money, because the means Of spending
money in England are almost unlim-
tied. In America a man who had four
or Eve feudal establishments, with
great households of servants and de-
pendents attached to each, a steam
yacht, a racing stable and a stud Of
motor cars would be an isolated, lone
ly and unoccupied man. There would
be no one to play with him. He might
possess all these things, but he could
not do anything with them. They do
not belong to any recognized life in
the country, whereas in England the
man who is born to such possessions
finds a whole society of other people
also born to them whose life is spent
in administering and using them, quite
often with a grave sense Of duty, self
sacrifice and public service which is
beyond the comprehension Of any but
the most intelligent Americans, simply
because 1t is beyond their experience"

RuriAA In Amber.

Amber Is supposed to be the harden
ed gum of fossil trees. Jumps Of It
found in the natural state almost al
ways contain foreign substances. In
sects, berries. leaves, bits Of bark and
even cobwebs with drops of dew upon
them are among the curious captves
caught in amber and preserved there
for all time. One Of the finest pieces
Of amber ever found contains a scor-
pion, which must have fallen into the
sticky mass in a dead condition, for
the creature made no struggle. Often
in the pieces containing insects 1t is
easy to see by the disturbance Of the
substance that the insects must have
fought hard for their lives, as the lines
of light are broken and made pris-
matte for a short distance all around
them. But this scorpion met his death
before he was embalmed in the sub
stance, for the amber is as clear as
wine In polishing the piece, however.
a part of the scorpions head suffered,
and this reveals the fact that all that
remains of him has become lime. He
was of the small yellow variety and
not particularly formidable.-NewY York

The First Flank Attack.

We have a record In the book Of
Joshua of "the stratagem whereby Al
was taken" This tells us how 5000
men were set in ambush behind the
city, so that when the king Of Al and
his hosts were drawn forward to the
fight q flank attack was made with
overwhelming success by the warriors
of Israel.
Not less disastrous was the fate OF
Leonidas and his brave little band of
heroes when the Persians at Their
mopylae. led by traitor, took them in
the rear, $50 B. G.
II was by mastery maneuver near
ly 300 years later that Hannibal dealt
one of his heaviest blows against the
hosts of Rome. Having concealed his
brother Mage, with 1000 horse and
foot soldiers, among the reeds, he en-
ticed the Roman forces across the river
Trebia. The legions fought bravely
and held their own until Mage, rising
from ambush, attacked them In the
rear and routed them.

Washington, April 24.-Fredrick
Townsend Martin of New York and
other prominent men appeared today
before the house foreign affairs COM
mittee to advocate two bills appro-
priating money for the erection or
purchase of embassy buildings in for
eign capitals, in order that poor men
with the proper mental and moral
equipment may enter the diplomatic
service. 1t was alleged that as mat
ters now stand only the very wealthy
can afford to represent America abroad
as ambassadors or ministers. The
Sulzer bill provides half a mil.
lion dollars for buildings in Toxic,
Japan, Mexico City, Hankow, China,
and Berne, Switzerland.
Mr.. Martin declared that American
diplomatic representatives in foreign
countries must be necessarily be
enormously rich men, because they
have to rent big palaces for show,
and pay all expenses themselves,
their salaries being sufficient to cover
