SHE LAY LOOKING AT HIM IN WONDER. was often hungry and did not have pennies to spend for candy. She was now living at an orphan asylum, but she louged to get away from it, for she was kept shut in most of the time, she said. and she pincd for freedom.
 Presently the boat landed at an is land. and the children were put ashore and permitted to wander iD a wood, or, better still, on the shore. At noon a luncheon was served on tables un- der the trees. Tim and his new found rriend-Alice, she said her name was played together, both preferrlng the shore
 In the afternoon the steamer with its load of children returned to the city. Tim told Alice of the life he led and said that if she would like to join him and sell papers as he did he would give her some of his stock. He made his home with a woman named sNlur- phy. to whom he paid what he could for his board. She was a kind woman. and he thought she would tNke in Alice too. The little girl, dreading to go back to the asylum, agreed when they made a landing to slip away with Tim and cast her fortunes with him as q newsgirl
 Alice was received under protest by the woman with whom Tim made his home. She strongly advised the child to return to the asylum, but Alice beg ced to be kept and said she would sell papers like Tim to pay for her keeping. So Mrs. Murphy consented. Being pretty child, Alice readily gained GUS toners and soon sold more papers than Tim. But Tim looked after the finances, and soon the two besides paving for their necessities, were lay ing up money, The accumulatve prin- ciple was strong in the boy, and he was destined to become rich.
 One day while Tim and Alice were on a much frequented street corner selling papers a man across the street beckOned to Alice to come over to him with a paper. Several other gamins started to get ahead of her. She be- came reckless in the race, was knock ed down by a wagon and lay insensi- ble. Tim saw her and, throwing down his papers, ran to her, took her up in

The walking Stick.

From the London Chronicle.
One does not look to ones walking
stick to tell The date, but earlier sticks
often combined the functions of al
MANAGES and staffs. For our first al
MANAGES were simply "the courses of
the moons of the whole year engraved
upon Sticks" and those who. went on
distant pilgrimages soon saw the adj
vantages of turning the heads of their
staffs into almanacs. Their sticks
were az once props and guides to as
sist them in arriving at the recog-
nized assembling places of pilgrims
at the correct time.
The walking stick, writes CORE
spondent, is certainly not for the
strenuous record breaking walker,
who takes kind of Polytechnic Lon
don-to- Brighton walk, but for the Or
binary pedestrian, whose main object
is seeing nature and breathing fresh
air. Used in the proper way the stick
is both n companion and a comforter
1t is a real aid in billy country, and
on level ground is not burden. 1t
is also a panacea for tiredness, hav-
ing a magic effect if carried for q
time through the arms across the
back. "Gird up thy loins and take
thy staff in hand" is as good advice
now as 1t was in Old Testament
times.
In Scotland the walking stick is
regarded as distinctly a secular and
weekday companion. Max O'Reii
records the panied surprise occasioned
during a visit to Edinburgh, when,
on going for a stroll on Sunday
morning, he took up his favorite cane.

provided.
Girls will be taught sewing. cook

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Baine's Heartfelt Tribute to Garfield

James G. Blaine retired from the
cabinet of President Arthur in De-
cember, 1881, and Immediately began
the preparation of the memorial
eulogy of President James A. Gar
field. Mr.. Blaine had been invited by
Congress to deliver a memorial adj
dress in the hall of the House of Rep
resentatives, and, if convenient, to
him, upon Washington's Birthday in
1882.
Upon the appointed day in Febru-
airy very great company was gath
cred in the hall of the House of Rep
resentatives. The weather was espe-
cially propitious. The early flowers
were blossoming upon the lawns Yin
front of the Capitol, the sky was tint
ed with the perfect deep blue, unre-
lieved by any clouds, of an ideal day
in June.
There were seated in conspicuous
place in specially arranged chairs in
front of the clerks desk several men
who had gained distinction even be-
fore Mr.. Blaine's mamie was familiar
one. President Arthur had the place
of honor, and his manner was that OF

But, after all, the two invited guests
upon whom the eyes of those who
were in the galleries and of many OF
the members of Congress were mosi
steadily fixed were General Hancock
who had been defeated for the presi-
dency by General Garfield in the No
vember of the preceding year, ano

manner, the perfect serenity and sol
dierly composure which characterized
him, his splendidly poised head, his
erect carriage and the courtesy with
which he steadfastly regarded Mr.
Blaine all tended to Justify that in
SEPARATION of Daniel Dougherty when
he called him Hancock the Superb
This was at the time that MIR. Dough
erty placed General Hancock's name
before the Democratic national con-
vention of 1880.
1t was almost the last appearance
in public of General Hancock. Ger
tainly he was little seen in Washing
ton after this ceremonial visit in
which he. as the guest of distin-
guished honor, paid his tribute to the
memory of Garfield,
1t was observed from the gallery
that Mr.. Blaine placed thick manu-
script before him on the speaker s
desk and that each sheet of heavy
paper was black bordered. 1t was
the first time that Mr. Blaine had
stood at that desk since the day
when his service as Speaker of the
House of Representatives ended

Blaine in the House of Represents
tives and who We're that day among

which Mr.. Blaine read his manu-
script Furthermore, they could not
recall an instance in his entire career
when he had read any speech from
manuscript.
| His voice, accustomed as he had
been to the acoustic peculiarities of
the House, was under perfect con-
troll But it was as gentle, almost
as soothing, as a lullyby. He had
learned the art of sending his voice
| careering over a great space with
perfect information and articulation.
The fiery and impassioned Blaine who
had so often startled or thrilled the
members of the House of Represen-
tatives was statesman of the past
and this man of noble presence and
of impressive solemnity of manner
was new Blaine, not till that mo-
ment discovered by any of his old
associates.
The closing paragraph of the eulo-
gy has become an American classic
! So thoroughly is the thought, solemn
| pathetic, tragic, yet breathing the
hope of Immortality, infused into the
verbal expression that the whole ut
terance is now regarded by the ablest
critics as partaking of some of the
sublimer aspects of poetry.
Mr.. Blaine himself was greatly in
| tereSted and even somewhat aston
ished that his peroration should have
commanded such universal recogni-
ton in the English speaking world.
He was quoted afterward by one of
his friends as having said. 1.-THE clos

whispered-among the brilliant lady's
most favored admirers.
Still the real authorship of the pop
ular Scotch ballad was kept a secret
Several people of more or less note
ventured to add to their distinction
by claiming the poem as their own
and among these were two highly re-
spected clergymen. When Lady Anna
was seventy three years old, still
sought out by brilliant society folk
Sir Walter Scott then in the height OF
his career, made known the fact that
one of his characters had been sug-
gested to him by the characters in the
ballad of Aud Robin Gray. This ad-~
mission on the part of Scott supplied
at last the inspiration for Lady Anna
to reveal her secret. She wrote to Sir
Walter and told him in delightful vein
of humor how some half century
before she had created the ballad.
She had as a child loved to hear the
ancient Scottish airs and as she grew
older she was, distressed at the in
delicacy of the words accompanying
them 1t was with the hope of pro-
ducing more appropriate words to one
of her favorite airs and with the de-
sire of raising a fund for her old nurse
who had crooned the tune to her that
she wrote the appealing ballad OF
Aud Robin Gray.

San Francisco Post.

From the San Francisco Post
One of our Eastern contemporaries
seems to have bitten into a green
one Says the Albany Journal
If California peaches only tasted as
nice as they look, they would be fine
peaches
This observation leads another
Eastern paper to remark that the
beauty of California fruit is only skin
deep, Here, too, a green one must
have figured in the verdict. Never
yet was California fruit righteously
accused, even by a set of dyspeptic
editors in York State.
The fact that they and thousands
of others in the East are allowed to
Judge our products by the unripe
samples shipped too early in the sea-
son is singing reproach to the fruit
growers of California. Each year a
greedy minority seeks to gobble up
the big profits of the early Eastern
market by sending out green peaches,
grapes, plums and cherries, which
must ripen en- route In appearance
they are perfect when they arrive in
the market, but they are dry and in
sipid to the taste, and are not to be
compared to the fruit of Georgia and
Alabama that is on sale at the same
time.
Skin-deep beauty is not the ideal

lets his peaches ripen naturally, but
another motto: Pretty is as pretty
does. Our ripe fruit is beautifully
clear to the core or the pit. 1t makes
for happiness and health. That it
looks fine on the outside is only in
cidental, and, in the case of green
fruit, misleading.
