Brave Men. ' Alex MeClure of the Philadelphia Times Bays: "The two boldest men he knows are John TVannamaker of Philadelphia and Tilly Haynes of Boston. Both went to New York. Mr. "Wannamaker took the Stewart property, the finest dry goods store in the world, and Mr. Haynes took the great Broadway Central Hotel, the largest in the city. But dry rot had crept into both of these magnificent properties and no one dared to grasp them, until John Wannamaker took one and Tilly Haynes the other. A complete and unqualified success has crowned the efforts of both.

Iirm.. -,f cl,AnD T Vi?wl in +V.O lilO JLil Dt |JitU Jk OUVCQ X uuu 111 kUC my," said an old soldier in the New ork Sun, "were two sizes too big for te. I wore sixes; my first army shoes ere eights. I didn't take them from loice?I got the nearest I could to iy size. We were being fitted out om head to foot for the first time; lat was whgn we were mustered in; id the required numbers of pairs of loes, of assorted sizes, had been devered to each company. When I got t them they had been culled over so tuch that there was nothing left nailer t^an eights." "I didn't think it would be possible >r me to wear a shoe two sizes too big >r me, but I tried a pair on. They ere brogans, having flaps, with two pelets on each side, lacing over the istep with leather shoe strings. They ed snugly, so that the heel and often art of the shoe,.and the sole, did not tiuck on the foot. The forward part f my foot felt as though it were outoors; but I thought they might do; I ad got to have a pair of shoes, and I 30k them. "I wore those shoes for months, and ith the greatest comfort. They were nornious, o:r they looked so to me. .s soon as I began to wear them the lick leather of the uppers humped up ito big, rounded edges, with valleys etween, across the top, giving to the Dp of the shoe a sort of fluted or coriigated effect. These corrugations smained alwayji just the same as long 3 I wore the shoes. They were not hat you would call a handsome shoe, ut, as I said, they did not shuck round on my feet, and they were lighty comfortable. "But it doesn't follow that after that always got shoes two sizes too big )r me; as a matter of fact, I didn't; u'S I always did get shoes plenty large ?r me; plenty; and found comfort in rearing them. "Sometimes we used to draw boots; a-valry boots. And it-was kind o' fun ) get boots. I remember very well ae first pair of boots I drew. I think felt (perhaps in a little maturer sort f way, though not much sp, either) bout as much pleased over that pair f boots as I did with my first red>ps when I was a boy. To get on a air of cavalry boots sort of made a lanfeel a little bit less like a plodding lfantryman, and a little more like a avalryman; it gave him a sort of a orse-and-sabre touch. But this was nly as he walked down the company treet after drawing the boots from the nartermaster; the next day, on picket, lie boots were about the sau^e to him s shoes would have been. "Still there were men who preferred oots and always drew boots when they ould get them. But for myself I like hoes better. A mounted man, of ourse, wants boots; but according to vv notion the most comfortable thing )r an infantry soldier to wear is a ood, roomy shoe that can be made Tig enough somewhere so thai; it won't huck around on the foot. Autograph Audacity. Many readers may recall experiences 1 getting the autograph of Henry W. iongfellow. The author of "Chats rith Celebrities" has something to say bout this very thing: "I remember one very pleasant party t the poet's dinner table," writes Mr. fruild, "at which Mr. Monti, Profesor E. N. Horsford and myself were resent, when Mr. Longfellow related number of amusing anecdotes repecting applications tha.t were made 3 him for autographs. He was very ind to autograph-seekers and used to eep in a little dox upon ms wriuug ible a number of slips upon which rere written. " 'Yours very truly, " 'Henry W. Longfellow.' "One of these would be sent to the pplicant by a member of his family to horn he passed over their requ ests. "But the autograph-seekern were ot always satisfied with a mere signaare :ind he often sent a veTse from ne of his poems, signed with his ame. The most remarkable request, owever, came from a lady in Boston, rho the poet said, sent him by express package of 150 blank visiting cards i-ith a letter requesting that he .ineribe his name on each of them the ext day, as she was to have a grand eception at which a number of literary eople would be present and she ished to present each one of her uestu with the poet's autograph. "This was too much for even Longflow's good nature, and would seem ) be hardly credible had I not heard ; frora the poet's own lips." Burial Places. The ancients looked on Death as the daughter of Fight, the sister of Ip.en and the friend of the unhappy." 'heir artists pictured the grim raessngei who knocks with equal foot at ae cots of the poor and the palaces of ie rich, as a drowsy, poppy-crowned outh, not as a fleshless monster, such 3 horrifies us moderns. The Greeks llled their burying ground Coemetrioii, "the sleeping place," from hich comes our word cemetery. The Id Jews, who had no horror of the rave, called it Bethaim, "the house f the living." The Germans, with oetical simplicity, call the graveyard God's Acre," or "field." The Araaho Indians call the grave "The pint's birthplace." In Morocco they ever say a man is dead, but that "his estiny has closed," and the grave is where he ponders."
