“I’d better not s|ieak any more in

“No thank you," said Haul, not

“You are a l«auty to quarrel with

But the landlady’s [wopbecy was
destined to be unfulfilled.
Saul Holaoa took his way to the
desolate, liarrly furnished room he
called his home. His wife boked up
in lurprw aa she saw him enter. With
dry humor that ahe hardly appreciated,
be rat the broken tumbler on the table
and raid;
“There, Fan, what do you think <4

"Fourpence, Haul” ahe answered in
grave earnest, “it would be dear at
a ha'penny, What on earth did you

and she glanced around at the contents
of the room, of which certainly quite a
Urge |mqa>rt>on was unsound. Saul
followed lus wife's glance, with a
Utter smile upon his lipa
“Yes, Fanny; so the tumbler will

Wondering alike at the comparative
■adiriaty and the strangeness of his tone,
the discreet wife ventured no further
remark.
"Have you got no supper for your
huslaand. Fan!” he next asked.
“I've a bit of bread Saul, there's noth­
ing else in the house."
He laughed bitterly.
"And you didn't expect meF
“No, I didn't"
“Well I don’t Uame you for that

Fanny Holaon was hungry and
tired, and th* peos)>e> t was iniiting.
She alip|>ed out readily, wondaring
and excited. She soon returned with
the Itai-on and an ounce of tea. It was
quite woixlerful, the alacrity with
which, thus encouraged, she bustled
alxiut to make the place comfortable.
The warm savory smell, and the noise
of the frying bacon as it hissed and
fizzed in the pan, reached the children
in their lied on the floor in a little
reevaa of the room, and they called out:
“What is it mother, who fryingF
“Mother is," snswered Saul Hobaou;
“and if you are good and quiet you
shall have a feast "
A «re struck at their father's voice,
th* children were like mice for the
nczt few minntea; save a whis|>ered
comment or two on the prospect be­
fore them.
It was a sight to behold that family
half an hour later—the poor little wan,
half fed, scantily attired children gath­
ered around their |>arents’ knees and
eating ravenously of bread and baoon,
with an occasional sip of warm tea
from the basin which their father
umd, or the cracked tetu-up of their
mother. When they had gone back
Co their hed warm and contented, there
was a whisper among them, and then
uprose in tremulous tones—a little out
of tuna perhaps, and yet surely soase-
what in tune with the angola music—
th* simple words of thanks:
“We thank the, Ixvni, for thia our foot!,
But more because of Jeans' blood;
I a'I manna to our souls lie given,
The bread of lite sent down trout Hea­
ven."
Saul Holieon’s eyes grew
moist
with blessed tears, and he was silent
for some time. Then he raised the
broken glass in his hand and flung it
in the fire-place, where it fell in a doz
en pieces.
“There, Fanny,” sail! he, "there's
my last glass al the ‘Three Fawns’
that's the last glass of liquor I »hull
ever drink.”
“Thank God!”

—The Detroit /rae /‘reaa is re*|a>nsible
for this item. Everyone will at once
recoguize its truthfulness: It has just
leaked out that while General Grunt
waa traveling in Asia he expressed a
deal re te get a shot at a Non. Not
wishing to expese hiss te danger the
native* secured a stuffed lion, set it up
in a jungle and then took the illus­
trious hunter out fur a hunt When
the beast was sighted the general was
all excitement, and crawling up to a
favorable pueitiun began te blaze away
at the animal with no perceptible effect
After firing about 20 shots he began to
get mad, and, taking off his coat he
settled down for a regular siege. Fear­
ing hia wrath when he discovered the
sell, thu attendants endeavored to in­
duce him to give ap the attempt to
kill the leant telling him that it bore a
charmed life, and that he could not
possibly injure it He told them to go

to his feet gnashing his teeth with rage
threw his su.-qender* <ff his shoulders,
rolled up hi* sleeve* and grabbed his
rifle by the barrel, so he could use it aa

him to duaut; but he politely though
forcibly informed them that he would
have that eura or leave hia honored

all
through that jungle, and with a wild
cry of “I'll fight it out on this tow, if R
take* all summer!” he rushed upiai the
beast, and, with one well directed blow,
laid it over on its side. Then he
chased the native attendants six miisa,
but being better acquainted with the
country, they got away from him in
safety.
A touching incident i* relnted of
Grandma Garfield, as the Ohio people
all call her. While packing bar little
satchel at Solon, preparatory to her de­
parture for Cleveland, to attend the
funeral coremoniea, the chap failed to
yield to her trembling touch. Invol­
untarily she exclaimed, “James 1 can t
unfasten my satcheL”
Then the awful truth dawned upon
her afresh, made more cruel by the in­
voluntary exclamation. “What did I
sayf’ she gasped, looking quickly about,
to see if her utterances had leen over­
heard. Her daughter, Mrs. Larabee,
and Mr. J H. Palmer, who married a
daughter of Mr*. Larabee, were near,
and saw the old lady stand trembling
for some moments with uiaxnitollabla
agitation, her heart heaving for a mo­
ment with the emotion she could not
supresa At length controlling herself
by a strong effort she called to Mr.
Palmer and said: “You are the only
James I have now, will you unfasten
itl"
The incident shows the dependence
of the mother upon the son, and hi*
accustomed courtesy. Among all the
noble trait* of the lamented dead, hi«
filial affection and devotion were not
the least marked.
