I i 1 Not Afraid of Assassins. 'President Benjamin Harrison used I“ ramble around Washington at night by himself. Colonel Dan Ransdell. a lifelong friend of the great Indianian. ‘ was President Harrison‘s marshal 01' the District of Columbia and kept in f very close touch with the president all through his term. Colonel Ransdell lived north of Dupont circle, quite a mile and a half from the White House.

Once when Colonel Ransdell rexnon- strated with him against venturing out at night unaccompanied, admonishing 1 him of the danger of assassination. General Harrison said: “An assassin cannot be dodged, Dan I am as‘safe from harm on that score while walking from the White House to your residence after dark and alone as I am when receiving callers or go. ing about the city in the daytime under the watchful eyes of detectives and ‘ policemen. The assassin always gets his prey when once he makes up his mind to do so. But 1 have no fear of assassination, least of all am I afraid of being assaulted in a dark street at night.”â€"Washington Herald. Ideals and Acts. Ideals are more potent than acts. Let a millionaire give £10.000 to a hos. pital. The public is for the moment struck, but who save the institution it- self remembers the gigt next day? Let a “leader of society” start a charity bazaar. Let her gather a little court around her. Let the stall holders be visions of beauty, their coloring per~ haps just a trifle “assisted,” and ,un- der their spell let the buying be brisk and a great financial success be scored. The masses will read the account in their newspapers with wondering ad- . miration, but they will find there no wholesome stimulus for themselves, since the motive of the brilliant func- tion was rooted in display. In charity, as elsewhere. it is, I repeat, not the ac- tion, but the spirit of the agent, that permanently tellsâ€"Montague Crackanâ€" thorpe in Fortnightly Review. _ -. “The housekeeper?" “Yes. yes. dear. Now. don’t inter- rupt, you naughty. boy. I’ll tell the housekeeper to tell the cook to”â€" “The cook?” “Of course. and I do hope we can get ' a French cook. And I'd like the par- lor maid to”â€" ': “The parlor maid?" ' “Yes. yes. I’d like a brisk, tidy, rosy 'cheeked girl. I don’t care so much ‘ about the housemaid.” ‘ a, “Why, my darling. I’m afraid”â€" . “Now, now, you bad old boy. you ' must let your little girl have her own “ way when it comes to the house serv- ' ants. You can engage the butler if you like, and of course you’ll get the coach- man. but when it comes to the laun- dress and seamstress andâ€"why. George, what a .dreadfully long face ' you have! I don’t like it!” 3 It looked longer as he sat in his 10 'by 12 room an hour Eater trying to ; 'figure out” how the wages of the cook ’and housekeeper and butler and all the rest of them were to be paid on i £5 per week. He. hasn’t calculated it ' yetâ€"London Mail. l His Happy Home. His salary was £250 a year, and he had just proposed to Miss Clare Light- head and been accepted, and they were both exquisitely happy until she said: “And you don’t know how lovely our home will be, George. It shall be a place of rest and joy'and comfort! I’ll ring the housekeeper up every morning Games Akin to Golf. It is probable that the little boy in the street who calls a hockey stick a golf club is only speaking the truth a few centuries too late. There are many reasons to believe that the Scotch game of golf, sometimes called bandy ball in the old accounts of it. developed into hockey with a flavor of football about it when it came south, and this is borne out by an old fit. teenth century print of two bandy ball 1 players in which the stick used, called handy because bent, resembled a hock- ey stick far more than a golf club.» The Gentleman’s Magazine in 1795 al-' so mentions shinty as a Scotch gamei similar to golf, and another writer de-f fines shinty as “an inferior kind ot‘. golf played by young people and in! London called hockey.”â€"London Standv. WWâ€" - r J. C. Aye!- Co.. Lowell, mu. .0 matacturera o: SARSAPARILLA. PlLLS.
