The first thing the unfortunate does
after picking himself up is to look all
about him w ith an idiotic smile on his
face just as if he took the whole thing
as a joke, but anxious to see if anyone
has seen his tumble.
If there happens to be some one
near by «who has witnessed the fall
tbe smile vanishes and there is a dis
play of temper that is hxlioroua It is
his hat that suffers. It is pounled in-

In connection With the dying pray«a
«tiered by Mr. McKinley, a corre
spondent is reminded of a story one.
told him by Rev. Dr. Moulton, who waa
for over 30 years a missionary in th.
Tongan islands, says the London
Chronicle.
On one of his periodical
visita to the smaller islands he landed
at one rarely visited even by the mis
sionaries, and thare heard that an old
Tongan, who had some years bafore
been converted to. Christianity, wa.
dying. The doctor haat'ened to th« hut
of the sufferer, and thrtre a curious
sight met his view. The old-man had
been propped up by bi« friends so that
he clung by hia two arms to a beam
stretching across the.room. There he
half hung, hklf stood, and with closed
eyes and a face drawn with agony he
remained constantly murmuring some
words. The doctor drew sileptly near
to listen, thinking-that the dying,mail
was making some la.i request. “Judge
of jny astonishment,” he said, in relat
ing the incident, “when I heard these
words uttered over and over again—in
Tongan, of course: ‘Nearer, O God, to
Thee! Nearer to Thee!’ In those days,
almost 40 years ago,” gilded the doo-
tor, “the hymn of the cultured, saintly
English-weman had not reached the
Tongan natives, but the same spirit
that inspired the thought in her doubt
less inspired it in the heart of that
poor, untutored Christian Tongan.”
