•IIMCO STRANQC MINOLiNQ Of
HAWINIIt AND PAIN.
Mwnd Flnd.r Waa Wl.tr and Kspt
It for Ita Much Worrlad
Owner.
How tha Tlniaat Brldaamald and tha
Athlatlc Uahar Cama to an Undep-
atandlng In Juat 2 Mlnutaa
21 taeonda.
Ha waa the very large*! and most
athletic of the ushers, and Nhe waa
the tiniest and moat feminine of tha
bridesmaids. He waa very tall, very
aelf-sssured and very strong, rth«
waa very alight, very «hy and full of
tremblea. She hud trembled all
through the wedding, from the tlma
the pink chlffoued maid of honor took
the first atep, at the organ'a signal,
and now ahe waa trying bravely to
ke*p back the (ears.
She waa not sorry Adele waa mar-
rled—It aeeiiKil a good match; ah*
was nut sorry nhe waa to wulk with
with the |j>,gPKt uslu-r, for ahe—well,
ahe always tlioiiKht him very grand,
and now thai lit* tut out of college,
and a real doctor
And yet ahe wanted to cry!
That la like a woman, especially
th« kind who are very alight, very
•hy, and full of trembles.
The blggeat uaher had not trem-
bled during the ceremony, lie had
occupied himself chiefly In wondering
why In thunder people have church
weddings In July, mid calculating an to
whether or not hla collar would last
uuttl lie got back to bis room.
But when the ceremony waa over
and ull the other bridesmaids had
patted off and began pacing down the
aisle, the tables were suddenly turn-
ed. As hlR arm I I; the. touch of the
smallest bridesmaid's hand he sudden-
ly rallied that lie was trembling.
A Koon aa the smallest bridesmaid
felt this trembling her owu stopped
and she no longer felt like crying.
She realized this dimly and wonder-
ed If It were not on the principle of
homeopathy—'like cures like." But
no—he waa the oth r kind of a doctor.
At least ahe had stopped trembling
and she wondered vaguely and hap-
pily why It waa.
It la ao sometimes with women
who are very alight, very shy and full
of trembles.
The master of ceremonies, who had
been timing every,irng with hla watch
In hand, after*;-.. I stated that the
procession from alta* to door took
Just 2 minutes and 21 seconds. But
the blpgest uslv r and the smallest
bridesmaid would have sworn It took
an hour—so much happened during
that period!
. And yet, what took place during
that 2 minutes and 21 seconda was
ao very insignificant when one tries
to aei ii down. It consisted of a
few bn aiiis, some in the form of sighs
and cullers subvocallzed; a slight
movement of a black coat sleeve
against a sleeve of white moussellne de
sole; an almost Imperceptible move-
ment of the muscles of two pairs of
eyes; a few nerve quiverings—and
that was all.
At the close of the 2 minutes and 21
seconds of Mendelssohned marching,
when the tallest usher was helping
the smallest bridesmaid into the car-
riage, he whispered one word to her—
and then, strangely, she wanted to
cry again. She wondered vaguely and
happily why it was.
It is so, sometimes, with women
who are very slight, very shy and full'
of trembles.—St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
At a big hotel not over half a mil*
from Times square, which may be fur-
ther Identified by the fact that some
of the employes can afford to wear
dlamouds, a good-sized brilliant went
begging for a time Friday morning.
It waa lost by Ita owner, found,
thrown away, and then found again.
The night manager owna a ring
that has three diamonds In It. The
middle one waa said to have coat him
♦200. Some time Thursday night It
dropped out of Ita aettlng.
After things bud got quiet, the man
who cleans up the second floor saw
something glittering on the carpet
In one of the public rooms on thesec-
ond floor. He picked It up and took It
to the night controller.
"Aw, thui'a nothing but a bit of
glass," appraised the controller, who
doesn't wear dlamouds.
"But It looka like something," said
the cleaner.
"Rats! You're bughouse If you think
that's worth anything. Throw It
away."
Aa the cleaner didn't have any
other place handy, he threw the thing
In a corner.
When daylight came the raya of
the aun came In and fell on the dia-
mond just aa a housemaid waa tidy-
ing up the room. She saw It and
picked It up. The cleaner had not
yet gone home, and she showed It to
him.
' Nothing but glaas. That'a the aeo
ond time I've seen that thing," he aa-
sured her.
"Who told you It waa glaaa?" ahe
aaked.
"The controller."
"Hull! he Knov.n nothing about Jew-
elry. I'm going to keep It," and she
put it into her pocket.
The night manager came to the ho-
tel Friday night out of breath, lie
had not discovered his loss until he
awoke In the afternoon. He immedi-
ately began an Investigation, and
finally It led him to the cleaner.
"Yes, l picked up something like
what you say," he said.
"What did you do with It?"
"I threw It away."
The manager said some things, to
which the cleaner retorted that the
controller had been positive the thing
was nothing but glass.
The manager said some more
things. Then the cleaner remembered
that the housemaid had picked up the
thing again.
"What did she do with It?"
"I told her to throw It away."
The manager thought of a few
things he had left unsaid, but looked
up the housemaid. No, she had not
thrown It away. She looked up the
working skirt she had worn the night
before and there the gem still lay In
the pocket.—New York Timea.

Library of Artemue Ward.
As we s«t on the old-fashioned
porch at Waterford, Me., and talked
with "Uncle Daniel" Browne, a cousin
of "Artemus Ward," he revealed many
quaint glimpses of hla own career as
village Justice of the peace. His
daughter owns the library of "Arte
mua Ward." In his will It was award
ed to the brightest girl In the old
Waterford schoolhouse, which he at
tended, and the prize was won by an
own cousin. Thereon hangs the love
romance of his life. The blue-eyed
girl died a few yeara after the re-
mains of Charles F. Browne had been
brought to the old Elm Vale cemetery
in Waterford, and thus ended the
earthly love of the cousins. Today
In the quiet cemetery the graveatones
atand in atern military array and
carry datea reaching back for more
than a century. Under the granite
ahaft, bealde hla brother and mother,
aleepa "Artemue Ward" under a aim
pie alah on which the Inscription
reada: "Charles F. Brown, known to
the world aa Artemue Ward."—

No Noee for Newo.
The new reporter turned in hla
story about the church basar. his first
asalgnment. It waa the uaual atory,
with the usual names of committee
women.
He lingered around the city editor's
desk aa the hour for the paper to go
to preaa drew near.
"Funny thing happened at that ba-
sar tonight," he aald casually, aa con-
versation lagged.
"What waa that?" asked the city
editor.
"Oh. nothing much—one of the
booths caught fire and they put It
ut with lemonade.""
He never knew why he was fired.—

Charm of Memory.
The charm of memory lies, I think,
In the quality which It gives things,
at once of intimacy and remoteness.
The fascination to us of recalling our
past selves, our former surroundings,
lies In our sense that they are abso-
lutely known to us, yet absolutely out
of our reach. We can recall places,
houses, rooms, until every detail lives
again. We can turn from one thing to
another and, as we look at each, lo, it
Is there! It has a reality more poig-
nant than the hand that we touch or
the flower that we smell.. Sometimes,
It is true, present experiences, even
as they occur, have something of this
quality. They do not need to recede
into the past to guin this glamour
Certain placea have It; cathedrals
sometimes, and still lakes. Certain
things foster It; firelight and silence,
and the steady fall of rain. Certain
moments give birth to it; the lumln
ous pause between sundown and dusk,
afternoon with its slant of light
through deep grass or across a quiet
river. This, I fancy, was what Ten
nyson was thinking of when he called
the lotus land the land "wherein it
seemed always afternoon." In that
land these magic moments were pro-
longed, and thus It became the land of
reminiscence.—Atlantic Monthly.
John Hull found the telugrum at his
ofllce. As lie read the words, the
busy scene about him fuded Hway, and
he saw himself once more a little,
ragged, frightened boy, who heard
with terror the word "poorhouse"
whispered by the neighbors. Then
Aunt Rachel hud come in She had
stood u moment looking ut his moth-
ers still face; then she hud crossed
the room and gathered the boy Into
her arms, "lie isn't going to the
poorhouse," she had said, quietly. "I
am going to take care of him "
It was an odd "caretaklng" In some
ways. Aunt Rachel was an old maid,
and knew nothing of a boy's heart.
And yet—how good she hud been--
how good and patient! In the last ten
years, although he had seen her only
twice, there had been no word of re-
proach, only the same unchanging
love and faith. A blur came over
John Hull's eyes, and calling his sec-
retary, ho gave rapid orders, lie waa
going to Aunt Rachel. He hoped she
would know.
Nine hours later he was alone with
Aunt Rachel. Aa he looked at the
great peace of the small, worn face, a
strange feeling swept across him. lie
never saw a look like that In Wall
street! This little, plain, old country-
woman had possessed something
greater than riches!
Later, they brought him her papers
and letters. They were very few, but
among them were her account books,
and John Hull realized that In those
careful figures he was reading the
story of her life. He was amazed
to know how tiny her Income had
been. And of what she had had, _
tenth had gone to her church, a fifth
to her missionary society, and nearly
all the rest for a boy who was not
even related to her.
And he had thought her life pitifully
poor and narrow! Now In his hour of
vision he saw that his was the poor
and barren life—with its careless and
spasmodic giving, its absorption In
"the game." He understood at last
the generous and unselfish Investment
of this life and all fts possessions. And
suddenly there came to him the mem-
cry of a hot summer Sundav of his
boyhood, and of the minister's voice
as he read his text; "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant: thou hast
been faithful over a few things. I will
make thee ruler over many things."
Could that be said of the uses he
had made of his own life?
Alone In the April night John Hull
faced himself.—Youth's Companion.

Oen. Daniel B. Sickles, despite bis
financial troubles, continues to tell In-
numerable witty war stories. One of
the most recent of these concern
captain in a South American war.
"This captain," so General Sickles
tells the tale, "was continually getting
sick and being reported unfit for duty
whenever there was a big battle in
sight.
"After he had shirked about seven
battles by meanB of sick leave, be be-
came notorious; and it Is said that he
once overheard, from the hospital
tent, two newsboys talking about him-
self.
" 'Juan,' said the first boy. 'we'd bet-
ter order an extra supply of papers.
There's going to be some tall lighting
tomorrow.'
•How do you know that?' Pepe, tha
■acond boy aaked.
'Captain Blanc,' waa the reply, 'la
•lck again.'"

The Biter Bit.
▲ certain critic, renowned for his
bitter tongue, found that on occasion
even artists will turn. The occasion
was a reception at whioh the artist
was exhibiting his latest work.
"I should like to have your opinion
of my picture," he said to the critic.
"It's abaolutely worthless," the oth-
er replied, shortly.
"O, I know that," pursued the ar-
tist, "but It would really Interest ma
very muoh Indeed."—Berlin Illus-
trated Times.
The Rostands Stood Treat.
All the stories now arriving from
Cambo. where the family of Edmond
Rostand Is sojourning, have the char-
acter of the heroic legend. The fam-
ily of Rostand, now more united than
ever, was to attend a cinematograph
performance at Cambo. At nine
o'clock In the evening the hall had
long been filled with people, but the
show did not begin. The audience be-
gan to exhibit strong signs of impa-
tience. The proprietor came to tho
front and announced that the Rostands
having retained three places, the show
could not decently begin before their
arrival. The audience waa of a ciulte
different mind. It took the announce-
ment In bad temper, and soiue mo-
ments later when the illustrious tardy
ones came in, making a sensational en-
try, they were received with mur-
murs and with exclamations far from
complimentary. Mme. Rostand frov. n
ed. but Maurice Rostand called
the proprietor, and giving him a fist
full of louis, said: "Fill the jaws of
these fellows with champagne." This
was done. The entire audience drank
excellent champagne. The murmurs
of disapprobation died away and the
family received a warm ovation—Le
Crl de Paris.

Children's Deafness.
Dr. Helen Macmurchy of Toronto
says that deafness is more frequent
among school children than is usually
supposed. She calls attei.Hon to the
fact that In a perfectly qui. : room the
average normal hearing distance for
a whisper Is about 25 feet, and that
a child that can hear a whisper at
only live yards will not lose much ed-
ucation on account of this degree of
Impairment. Those who can hear a
whisper only from three to five yards,
she says, should sit on the front
seats, and those who can hear a whis-
per from one to three yards need
special help and should be placc-d In
smaller classes, with a teacher who
will speak Blowly and distlctly, and
will take special, Individual interest in
such pupils. She advocates the teach-
ing of lip reading to those who are
yet more defective. There Is no doubt
that many children suffer from un-
recognized slight deafness. Such chil-
dren should not only be aided to hear,
but to speak plainly.
