He had a fund of good stories, among them tbe following, which he took delight In tellin 0 ' For several years during the early seventies Steve and a number of oth ers used to breakfast at three in the morning at a then well-known restau rant on Commercial street. Because of the early hour the advent of a stranger at the tables was noticeable. One cold, stormy morning all were interested In a rather untidy looking man who was eating an enormous meal. In time his hunger was ap peased. Stepping Jauntily to the cashier’s desk, he asked if the nroprl- etor was about. "I am the proprietor,’ sharply re turned the man reigning over the money drawer. “Well,’ said our friend, with a con fidence inspired by a hearty meal, “I am awfully sorry, but the best I can do is to thank- you for a very nice breakfast, as I have not a soli tary cent with which to pay you.” For reply the man behind the cash drawer reached under the .counter md. nroduclng an army pistol, lev eled It at the bead of the stranger. The latter calmly surveyed it for several seconds with no attempt to move from Its range. His face took on an expression of anxiety. Shifting his gaze to the face of the “man be- 'ilnd the gun,” he asked in marked tones of alarm: “Is that a stomach pump?” No matter how much a widow once knew, she is willing to learn it all over again. A man couldn’t make much money collecting the rewards for virtue. Easy street’s sunny side Isn’t paved with good intentions.

You could sell that cloth for hun- drels of miles; there’d be no limit. A yard goes further; one buys less yards. Wears longer; one buys less often. It always looks right till well worn-out.

Devoe is as if It were wider; a gallon goes further; you buy less gallons; you pay for less gallons; you pay for painting less gallons—as If one paid less for making a garment of that wide cloth—and It keeps Its fresh look and sheds water till you have forgotten how old it is. It isn’t true in cloth, but it is in paint: the less you pay. the better it is; for the goodness of paint is reck oned by gallons; less gallons, more goodness. Goodness in paint is strength.

(From Hartford Times.) Among the many places which the tourist visits in Montreal there Is per haps none which appeals to him more strongly than the Grey Nunnery This imnoslug edifice, which occupies near ly the entire square, stands near one of the most fashionable shopping dis tricts of the city. The Grey Nunnery Is an asylum for the aged and infirm, and a school and home for orphans and foundlings. It was founded many years ago by a religious society known as the Grey Nuns and the good work which they did in helping tho poor and needy Is carried on to day by the members of that same or der. At first the Grey Nuns met with considerable opposition in their work, it being alleged that they both sold liquor to the Indians and partook of too freel/ themselves. Their name being a jest, the French word for “grey” meaning also “tipsy,” and thev were derided as the drunken sis ters. This ba^e libel upon their good character has long since been lived down and today the name once spok en in derision Is honored by Catho lics and Protestants alike. Entering the nunnery gate shortly before noon one goes first to the chap el. As the bell tolls the hour the nuns enter and pass silently to their places. There are, perhaps, a hun dred or so of them, all robed in grey, and they occupy a section of the chapel to the right of the main aisle. A short service follows, composed mostly of chanted responses, and then the grey sisters return again to their more secular duties. As soon as the nuns have depart ed a whlte-oapped little woman, who speaks English with a most delight ful French accent, takes us In charge and conducts the visitor through the various departments of' the building. Here are the old folks busy with their knitting or perhaps indulging in, a quiet game of dominoes; here the school rooms and dormitorlea, occu- nied bv the children. A well equipped gymnasium attracts attention and the kitchen and laundry are models of convenience. Everythin^- from too to bottom of the vast building is spot lessly clean. Entering one of the school rooms the visitor Is suddenly confronted by a sturdy band of valiant little sol diers armed with toy guns. None of the warriors appear to be over six or seven years old, and they are com manded by a captain of their own age, arrayed in a resplendent scarlet coat, who flourishes a tin sword and shouts his orders fiercely. A credit able drill -is given, terminating with a volley, at which a number of other boys, who had been sitting on a near bv bench, tumble down as If saot. Leaving the boys, we next visit the girls’ department Here ’ a .picked class of some thirty or forty girls, of the same age as the boys, gives an excellent calisthenic exhibition, and one litle tot favors with a short rec itation. Passing down a long corridor we now come to the nursery, and here, sleeping peacefully, each In Its little cot, are half a hundred babies (waifs of the streets, many of them), under the watchful and loving care of four or five pleasant faced, low-voiced Sis ters. Although visitors walk freely around the room and peer curiously Into the little cots, not a baby cries. And so we wander from room to room, always seeing something to ad mire, until our guide leads us to the •rate and. with a parting smile, sig nifies that our visit Is at an end. Lincoln’s Permit to Veteran. Mr. Linton Park, who is now an in mate of the soldiers and sailors’ home at Erie, Pa., was among those who Joined In the chorus, “We are coming. Father Abraham, three hun dred, three hundred thousand more.” He enlisted at Washington and was assigned to the Second District of Co lumbia regiment. Mr. Park was then, as now. a veg etarian. While he could assimilate everything connected with his an swer to the call of duty from the standpoint of patriotism, he could not assimilate the army pork. It was plain that If the government wished t do the square thing by Mr. Park it would have to show broad-minded ness In the matter of rations. So he took his troubles to Presi dent Lincoln, and explained that In some respects he was like the chil dren of Egypt. He could not forget the leek« and onions with which he was wont to regale himself back In Indiana county. Lincoln smiled. “You want me to turn you out to graze like Nebuchad nezzar?” he asked. “It would beat salt pork,” was Mr. Park’s reply. Thereupon Mr. Lin coln wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet of paper: “The bearer, Linton Pa^k, is here with granted permission to browse wherever he chooses.” Mr. Park saw the humor in the note and enjoyed It quite as much as Lincoln did. He also enjoyed the privilege of “browsing.” The note is still in his possession. A Card from Mr. Daniel. I desire to express my slacere thanks to the friends who so gener ously stood by me In the first prima ry. If on next Tuesday a majority will concede me the honor that I seek, I pledge the greatest effort of my life to merit the confidence re posed in me. Green B. Daniel. Wood’s Seeds FALL SOWING.
