of a large garden, where in summer statues
of Ureclan gods and goddesses gleam
through foliage of tropical richness. But
my visit waa in midwinter, and th streets
of the city were fairly covered with snow.

Athens, and as I walked through th
streets leading to it I saw do Greek girls
who recalled Byron's "Maid of Athens,"

those proud dames of ancient times whose
dark hair was adorned with tb golden
grasshopper as an announcement that they
naa "sprung from th soil."
As I approached Dr. Bchliemann's I
struck by the life sum marble statues of
Grecian poets, philosophers and heroes
that embellished the roof of tb stately
pile. The door of the palace) was opened
by a tall footman, who apok French with
a strong accent. Handing htm my card I
was invitea to enter th library, which,
with the exception of th Vatican library,
is the most oeautlful I have ever seen.
Th walls of the stately apartment were
nung with exquisite pictures representing
classical subjects, and the corners war
adorned with graceful statues. The dark
bookcases were crowned by marble bust
of Grecian poets and philosophers. Th
library was rich in classical literature, In
which Greek, of course, predominated, for

A PLAINT FROM PICARDY
A midwinter night, and bitter, bitter
cold. Not so nmuli snow, but a wind
which had au arctlo auger iu it. It stung
the face ilk vitriol, and frosa the blood
and almost mad a fellow cry out, as If ho
Were In pain like. ,
Three of us, just common newspaper re
porters, wore scurrying through Mall
street, half running, to gut to warm
place. We had Iwen at work up town, try
ing to find oertaiu facts about a man who
had been mysteriously murdered in I he
Tenderloin precinct Johnny Spallman, the
jockey.
Well, the City Hall park was blcuk
enough. The wind shrieked across it, uud
tb hall, with its old white marble steps,
stood over yonder, pallid, ghastly. Nut a
human being Iu sight. Nobody would stay
out of doors such a night.
: The lights iu the tall buildings iu Park
row and iu the luwentrance to Hitchcock'
ever blessed old cellar coffee house were
happy, cheery beacons.
It was late, well 011 toward midnight.
luat made us hurry all the more,
Kyeu Uncle Ham's fagged out old home
and wagotiH which forever wait In the Mail
street alley behind tbat grim stone coping,
where nig img or mall matter for nil nnris
of the world ara bundled In and out, I1111I
disapiwared out of the cold. There was no
sound of the mail clerk's voice calling off
the bags.
We reached the middle of the Mall street
block. We were on the north side of the
street. 1 rail in the rear of the inx-eHlon.
Out of the shadows of the park came s
mau. In a voice which upon that niuht
wind waa the most piteous sound 1 ever
heard lie cried, stretching out 0110 hand In
a suppliant way:
"Paries Fraucais, monsleurf"
It wa a strange, courteous question to
come walling amid the howling of a storm.
I turned and theu stopiied. , Then iu hon
est amusement and pity said, "My God!
yes." I hod learned some French in boy
hood, then bad bought drinks for a Paris
boulevardler, and fulfilled the dubious lin
guistic requirements of a New Jersey col
lege. I bad a deep seated love for the
French people and a deal of fondness for
the French tongue.
There in that wretched night, when I
beard that question, I saw the honest ihmh-
suts simple, sturdy folk toiling afield In
far Provence. I saw the Breton dehor.
singing as ho patched his nets ou tbe shore
of tbe dear old sea. I saw gay Paris and
the sweet valley of th Loire. And here,
alone, clad thinly, was a sou of that
France, a stranger in a great, sulllsh city;
in a great, strange and selfish land, upon
night when no mortal ought to have
shown his nose out of doors.
He was just asking I learned It in bis
flrst lonely question just asking for some
one to give him a helping hand a syllable
of direction.
The two other reporters weut neltlug
along. 1 looked at the wanderer. A mau
of forty, wnyfa, Old, to begin Ufa anew.
Ha wa above medium height, a little
stooped in th shoulders, on account of the
cold perhaps. He was overcoatless, bare
banded, and carried A small parcel under
his arm. Over his head was drawn tight a
knit cap, such as football players wear.
It was a woful story be told me. stand
ing there iu the open ou that awful night
witb the spars flakes flying all about us.
He had com that day on the Bretaictie.
Tbe passage had been very stormy. A fel
low passenger, a Picard, who smelted ter
ribly of garlic, bod taken all his money.
His chest, containing bis worldly posses
sions, he bad left at Castle Garden that
was before tbe barge oftioe days. His wife
and two childreu obi such pretty chil
drenwere at home in Picardy. He was
buogry and thirsty. No oua but an lion
est man begging in the streets of New
York would admit that be was thirsty.
Common reporters are not hubitually
well to do. 1 bad sixty-five cents, I gave
It ail to him. I told him about the rich
possibilities of beef and beans. , Then I Ul
rected him to a ten oent lodging bouse.
Then, penniless, I hurried on after my
companions. I expected to walk all the
way to Twenty-Urst street But then I
bad rowed in the Eight in the fall and
weighed 182, and was equal to it.
"Uod bless you" lu French sounds well
upon a fierce night wind.
J told tb fellows when I overtook them
tbat it wa a relief to And an honest beg
gar. On of tbem, who knows McGlory
and Fat Flynn aud O. B., and bos been
among tbe oyster pirate of Maryland and
th Bbanghaiers of Greenwich street aud
Yucatan, curled his smooth, churchly
looking lip aud sniffed at my story that I
bad "gone broke" on a beggar.
Spring cam. The tree in City Hall
park were budding. Tramps bod come to
sit under the electric lights in the circle
and listen to the night noises.
Work was done. Evening was iust
changing into late night , The same three
of us sauntered across Mail street, wend
ing toward Park place station. The odor
of ink and the clang of the presses were
behind us. But a soft breese played about
the corners and atJrred the dust in the
street ,
A man came out of the shadows of the
park. -
H stood looking at tne bright lights
from the postofllce, where tha great bun
dles of letters and papers were being lum
bered into waiting vehicles. In a voice
Which, upon the night wind, was the most
utterly piteous sound I ever beard, he
cried, stretching out on band lu a suppli

It was a strange, courteous question to
break in on tbe vernal quiet of a spriug
night. I turned, then stopped. -
Tbe man wbo knew Mctiiory laughed
bitterly, twice, "Hal Hal"
1 said "My GodI yes." I had learned
some French in boyhood. Then I had
bought drinks for a Purls boulevardler,
and bad well, never miud about that It
is too much like the story, of George ZU

the air was soft with calm, hearing that

Aa Unexplained Plclora. .
A cose that borders on the supernatural
is reported from Canton, Minn. The peo
ple there are in a fever of excitement over
a picture which has suddenly appeared in
tne little round window high up In tin
steeple of the lloman Catholic church at
hs place. The picture is that of a grotto
a which. Is the form of a woman with her
Infant lying on her left arm, while just in
front and slightly above the woman is
euotl.er face looking down at the pair.
ine woman is dressed lu a loose white
robe, has long black hulr and a lovely lace.
The child is not so plainly vlcible, while
the third race is that of it bearded man.
The picture was first discovered bv a lit
tle girl, and has since been viewed bv hun
dreds of persons, while some who hc.
looked for it have been unable to set It
Th glass has Iwen carefully washed iu
side end out by doubters, and as the pic
tare is still there its existence cannot be
denied. It is asserted by some that Fa'.her
Jones, pastor of the parish who built the
church, hod the picture blown in the glass,

charge can be easily proven or dlsprov-n
ny inquiring or the tlrm from which tbe
glass was purchased.

love taps. Once he lay unconscious two

picked up for dead.
He also has a war record worth boasting

he was helpless for two weeks. The last
stroke caught him during tbe recent beaUd

For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. Itseem-
ea to ao me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now., like a new man, and consider
mat August flower has cured me."
