Dear Angelf ace: I beg to apologize for addressing you in this manner being an entire stranger, but having the misfortune to be unknown to you Is my only ex cuse for this strange proceeding, which, I know is entirely at variance with the rules 'of etiquette. I have on two occasions Been you 6n the street, and ; I am frank to confess that your appearance has made so deep an Impression on me as to make me extremely desjrous of forming your acquaintance. Trusting that you will do me the favor of allowing this to commence a friendship which I hope will not be regretted by either of us. , y ; Every time I think of you my heart flops up and down like a churn dasher; sensations of unutterable joy oaper over it like young goats over a stable roof, and thrill through it like needles through a pair of linen trousers, as a gosling swlmmeth in a mud puddle bo swlmmeth I In a sea of glory,, visions of eccastic rapture thicker than the hairs of a blacking brush, and brighter than the hues ot a humming bird's pinion visit me in my slumbers and borne on their In visible wings" your image stands be fore me and I. reach out to grasp it like a cat. would , a mouse, wh'en I first beheld youraagelic perfections I was bewildered my brain whirled around like a bumble bee under a glass tumbler, my eyes stood open like cellar doors in a country town, and I lifted up my ears to catch the silvery . accent of your voice. My tongue refused to wag, and In sweet adoration I drank the sweet infec tions of love. Since the' light of your life fell upon my life I sometimes feel as If I could lift myself up by my suspenders to the top of a bell tower and ring the bell for fire. Day and night you are in my thoughts, when the jay mird pipes his tuneful lay In the shades of the old apple tree by the spring house, when the awaking pig arlseth, from his bed and grunteth and goeth forth for' his refreshments when .the drowsy beetle wheels iu drpwnlng flight at noontide and when the lowing herd comes home at milk ing time. I think of you and like a piece of gum elactic my heart seenu to stretch clear across , my bosom. Tour hair, ,1a like the mane of my sorrel horse powdered with gold, your their liquid depths I behold a legion eyes are' glorious to contemplate, In ' What tragedies, what Joys, are con tantly being enacted In a great city And the ups and downs there are! Walk along an Important thoroughfare and suddenly you come upon a wed ding party Just entering or Just coming but of a church. Proceed a little far ther and you see a crowd gathered about an auto. A child has been run over and killed. Still farther you meet a starving mother with a sickly babe In her arms. A nurse trundling a child dressed in embroidered and lace gar ments turns the perambulator for fear her charge' will be contaminated. One bright moonlight night 1 was walking over a bridge. The scene was pleasing, and I paused and leaned over the rail to enjoy it. "How fine It Is," I remarked to myself, "to live In a city! By day there Is the excitement of people and vehicles passing and re passing, the hum of business and pleas ure; by night myriads of lights, with occasionally the one great night lamp of heaven to illumine the whole." , ',. Suddenly to my left down on the water I 'heard a splash. A moment later a human figure came to the sur face and went down again. A boat shot under an arch, and a man In It dived and brought up a woman, and the two were hauled Into the boat A po liceman ordered the boatman to pull ashore. While they were doing so 1 went to where he was standing. "What were you doingr asked the policeman of the girl, who by this time bowed signs of life.. ,' "1; wanted to die. Why didn't you let me alone?" "Whafs the matter?"; " , "No home, nothing to do to earn a living, tired and heartsick." "Well, you'll- have to come along with me to answer to a charge of sui cide." '',' ,..;; O "Policeman." I said, "will you let me provide a carriage?" ' "1 can call the patrol wagon." . An empty carriage was passing. 1 hailed It, and the policeman, the girl and I got in and were driven to the police station. ' . I must pause here In my story to tell what 1 afterward learned of the girl's history. Some twenty years before one passtng up one of the fashionable streets of the city on a certain day and hour, would have ween a party emerg ing from a church. A young bride and groom were starting in life with every prospect of happiness; The gtoom's father was head of a large business, and the son had been made a Junior Partner on the, daj, of bis tnarriaga. A little girl was born to the couple, ana she was taken to church bundled In embroidered and lace garments, tike the child la the perambulator 1 have referred to, that she might be baptized. Then i In a handsome atone residence there was a christening feast, with a millionaire for godfather. - V.rl ni That was the year before the" great panic of i73, when one morning it was announced that a great business house had failed and down went the other concerns like card houses. The father and son of this story fell with the rest, the father dying of disappointment and wounded pride. The clothing of the baby, girl from that moment began to grow, plain, then dingy. Her father died, and her mother lived In want Tbe child grew to womanhood with no remembrance of her baby clothes. When ber sun arose tbe son of her family set Then ' her mother died. Tbe girl went from place to place begging for a situation, ' but nobody wanted ber. Then one night he Mood on the bridge. The waters below said. "Come. 1 wlU give you rest." The morning after, the attempted suicide I weut to the courtroom where the good and the bad. tbe unfortune and the unregenerate. were brought up before a mttclKtrate. In ber turn the girl was led in nnd placed In tbe dock. She hud no defense. She simply said that, she bud . got discouraged, and. passing over tbe bridge on her way to her dingy room which she bad been nflt!ile.1-su? .Cnst Ipatp nn the pinrnny scene, then down os tbe water, and she could not resist the call to oblivion Tbe downward slide In life, though It had marred, bad not destroyed her comeliness. There was evidence of an Inherited refinement both In person and bearing. Suddenly a member of tbe police rpurt arose and said that there was a yuuug man present who would marry tbe girl If she were willing. lie was produced. The girl looked at him, then languidly gave ber consent What could she do? ' "Judge." I said, rising. "If you will end the girl to some borne where she will be protected I will interest myself In ber." The Judge askrd tbe girl which plan be would prefer, and she chose my plan. She wast sent to a home for In digent girls and soon afterward I called upon the matron and got ber charge's story as I have given It here. I looked up a few of those who had known . her parents, but found there was no one to, take an Interest In her. Some were dead, some were" very poor, and tbe children of those who had kept In touch with the upper stratum bad no use for tbe children of those who had gone down. What was to be done for her I must do myself. 1 followed the example of. the young man who bad offered to marry ber. I could do noth ing for her In any other way. She consented, not languidly, aa she had done with tbe other, but gladly. A QUAINT OLD TAVERN The Old Cheshire Cheese, the Heart of Londoru In pTte their lengthened cooking, are not leathery. Tbe amalgamation and as similation of the variety of constitu ents are perfect; tbe result is bliss. There is a story told of one eminent litterateur who hnd seven helpings of the pudding and tlll yearned for more, and there I another remarbnWe nar rative of four men who ordered a pud ding of the regulation tl:'.e and finished It among them. 2. Pierpont Morgan praised the pud ding, and Theodore' Roosevelt was de lighted with It. Lord Beaconsfleld be stowed his approbation thereon, and Gladstone thought It far superior to his famous "three courses." Dickens. Thackeray, Meredith. Swinburne, Ten nyson, Trollope. Whistler, Lelghion, Sala, Phil Muy all sorts of tbe best of men of their dpy have fed upon tlw pudding, and It no donbt helped to Inspire their work.' Apparently any cook can fashion It, mix it. fix It, boll it. Let any cook try It. Lots &f cooks have tried it. but the results have , not been satisfactory. There was a , man who once ran tbe Old Cheshire Cheese, and in his day the pudding first achieved Its great fame. When he sold the old hostelry, and took a house .in. the financial dis-' trlct he announced that the same pud dug the same In every respect would be served every Saturday. Many of the Cheese's old patrons came around to celebrate." There was the size, but the aroma was wanting; there were the identical materials, but the same, not a bit of it, There was something missing. It may have been the shnden of the departed great ones of a bygone time. And so it is that todajr the famous dish, of the Old Cbethire Cheese tastes as of old, and Ms devotees cannot be seduced by any designing invitation based upon "just as good" simply because there Is noth ing just as good. Philadelphia Ledger. SERVES A FAMOUS. PUDDING. A Noble Paltry It Is, and , U Was Sampled by Suoh Man aa Gladstone, Dickans, Thackeray, Tennyson, Trol lope and Whistler. , ; Nearly all Americans -when they go to London inake It a point to visit thut qua tut old tavern in the heart of the uewspuper uud printing business, the Old Cheshire Cheese, to partake of its famous pudding. It is the Londoner's delight when he gets back to Fleet street' to make a rush for the pudding, and it Is almost the last thing he eats before leaving It. Travelers iu the Sahara hare seen mirages of that puddiug, nnd during the ' Uour war the men shut up In Ludysniitu and Mufeklng dreamed of Jt at regular Intervals. y r , Precisely at I o'clock p. m. Tom con. vcys the pudding from the first to the main floor. It la a big pudding, and the price of It Is Just 2 ehllllngs-tliat Is to say, a feed of it Is 2 Bbllllngs, as much as you please, us muuy tsuares as you ask for, cut and come again, all for 4S cetits of American coin. Cheap, aye, and, ouv how good It Is! It la worth crossing the Atlantic to get a milff of It, nud the aroma lingers In tbe memory for many a day. Big? The dimensions are Falstafflan. It Is a round earthen vessel something more than two dozen Inches deep, with a diameter of about eighteen Inches. A noble pastry, my masters! , '. When it Is placed upon the service table an elliptical white crust meets the hungry gaze. Tom and his myr midons take their places in front fac ing the host, who, knife and spoon in nand, poses with gentle dignity and benignant , mien. It la a moment of solemn thought when every man hopes thut his portion will be larger than his friend's and that be will be blessed with an - abundance of gravy. . But they ought from years of acquaintance Witt! the host to understand that his hand Is as steady as his Judgment 1 Impartial. . ' , . ; - ; . No more and nothing better fof one than for another. He waves bis weap' ons, and the first onslaught is made. The "room Is full of a delicious steam bearing with it tbe concentrated es sences of ambrosial substances. The guests sniff it up and murmur choice blessings on the cook, the original In ventor, the house and the host. ; It is a time when men feel good one to ward the other. y One smell of that pudding makes the whole world kin.'' This famous pudding, which has tickled the palates of thousands, Is thus compounded: . A crust ot flour, water and suet -Beefsteak. - ,..-.;. . .- ''.'? Sheep's kidneys.'. : ; Larks. . - Mushrooms (freshly fathered), y Oysters. ', Stock. : y ' " V Pepper and salt. ; . : But it is the boiling' that does it. For at least twelve hours this heaven sent puddiug is kept slowly simmering in an Immense copper specially con structed for the purpose. It must not boll quickly, but the same tempera ture be kept up the whole period. The (teak assumes a juicy tenderness; tbe larks not sparrows, as some malig nant spirit has suggested, although sparrow pudding is not to bo despised are peethed to the bone, and yon can chew up each little songster with out an effort; the kidney are soft and mushy and offer no resistance to ther digestive, ooua. and the ojstejs, d Thoughts are mightier . than strength qf hand.-Sophoclos. the ',. Plan For Centralization. V "Further, this centralizing Idea, is going to offer the general public an easy way to keep in touch with prog ress In the whole field. In these busy days not 'many men or women have' time to '.ook Into the work of hun dreds of organizations scattered all over the United States. But when we get a central clearing house call it a philanthropy trust' if you like then any person can find out with not much trouble what is being done In any glv-, en rlne of effort." Another benefit aimed at in this unity, of purpose Is the bringing together of the scientific students and the prac- Mml WrtrL'fiho TliA t hnttlata en1 tti A wv aa n ist avi e, - 4 vucui iota auu tuu field workers have not always ; ad vanced in step.- The conference in tends to assist ehcb class to under stand the other and thus benefit the general purpose for which , both are striving by different but equally Im portant methods,. Tbe Child Conference has its eyes fixed on Washington and wants, some day to secure a federal children's bureau. Resolutions have already been adopted favoring bills be fore congress for that purpose, y' "The time has come, in tbe opinion of this conference," a last year's resolu tion ' ran, 'when all effort for the amelioration of the conditions of child hood of a chnrltnble and philanthropic nature should be based upon and so far as practicable guided by the re sults of scientific child study,' and only thus ' may1 tbe various lines be given a more scientific and workers a more professional character". , . In other word, this organization in tends to kill off a lot of haphazard work that has been going on with the avowed purpose of helping children and substitute work that is more In telligently dlrM-ted ' and more bene ficial to those who do It, to those who are the subject and likewise to those who support lt by money or personal Interest. y 1 - ' , ' I Place your ORDER For Lunch Good for your trip to UNION Cakes, bread, fruit, pickles and canned goods.
