BECBETS PLUNGE"
There was a certain sadness in Uncle
Reuben's manner ss be served me that
night a certain silence -which yoa al
ways recognise as a foreboding- in those
wlsosn. joc. know wcIL He "brought the
dishes and -went away without ever a
ward of comment and went about his
attentions to the other guests of the
eveaing with thct manner -which beto
kened an intense absorption in some mat
ter outside the dinner courses. "When
he put down the coffee, he leaned over
and asked in a deferential vrav if I
-would mind staying awhile he -wanted
to talk to me on a "mattah vrhich is
much -wcrrhaent tub. rae, sub." Of
course I said I'd stay, and I waited -with
not a little curiosity to hear what Uac.e
Reuben had to say. That it was a por
tentous affair which weighed upon hin
was too evident.
Fiaally the place wa3 empty, save for
my presence, and Uncle Reuben came
over to me snd set him wearily down.
"FTis eyes were shining with the resolve
of some great purpose, Ict he approach
ed it cautiously.
"I reckon yuh 'member, suh, 'bout
Ma jeh Bazt&h comin to New Yawk luh
live?"
I noddv -assent. I remembered
the night when he and Uncle ReaiK u
met for the first time since Reuben had
gone into the war as a body servant,
and I remembered how Uncle Reuben
had fed his impoverished old master
throegh the courses of the best dinar
his place could lay without ever giving
the master an idea that ho was receiv
ing charily. I had never forgotten the
tenderness of Reuben's attest iocs to the
man who had once owned him, body
and souL

I want yuh tuh lock at this faw me. "
Uncle Reuben Wvit down into some
mysterious recess behind bis apron and
drew cut a small beck carefully wrap
ped about with a long string. Taking a
precautionary Icok about the room, be
laid it down in front of me. It was a
bankbook, and it showed a balance in
favor of Rerben Baxter of Tennessee of
a fraction over $o, 000.
"That's whut I save outen thu busi
ness hyah, yah know. Thu gemmen

an I'se been layin way some uv it all

"You might get a fairly good place
with that, Uncle Reuben. "
"An ef I had twic't cz much I could
git twic't ez good uh place, couldn't I?'
"Yes, perhaps mora than twice as
good."
"Yuh knows anythin 'bout these
stocks they sell down Wall street way?
Gemmen talk lot 'bout 'em one day, an
nex' day sell 'em faw twic't ez much?"
"They are dangerous things to med
dle with. Uncle Reuben. Sometimes
you pay a price for them one day and
the next they are worth nothing at all "
"Yessuh, I reckon so, but ef I bought
tha' much wo'th one day and they
wa'n't wnth nothin thu next, nobody
would know nothin 'bout it 'cept you
an me, would thev?"
"No."
"Then I mas' tell yah. Yuh know I

that. "Well, I wuz thiWHn tha' ef I had
twic't tha' much money I might go
back home wiv my head up. "
I tried persuasion with Uncle Reu
ben, teil-ng him of all the certain dan
gers of stock gambling, but nothing
would move him front his pnrpese. He
was steadfast in his detenu. ::nricn to
put that $o,000 in some sort 1 1 specula
tion in Wall street in an effort to dou
ble it. As I was his ocly friend who
had in the past kept his cenfidences
sacred he appealed to me. It hurt him
when I refused to handle his money in
the street.
I knew of a particularly good thing
in Cordage just then, and, having much
confidence in it, I finally consented to
act as Reuben's agent in the matter,
and did. His bank roll went into Cordage-
Fortune dees sometimes favor a
good cause, and Cordage was the only
thing in the street which showed activi
ty. It went up and up. Within a week
I sold Reuben's stock at a rough profit
of 2.000 and dined that night on a suc-
culent bird out of season.
Uncle Reuben was radiant and flew
about his place like a boy. I waited far
him, and he hung over the table with
an attention that was almost devotion.
When we had a chance to talk, he in
quired all about how it had been done,
and Ihad to go into all the details of a
Wall street deal. There was none of the
passion of gain or of the gambler in his
eager attention, just the passion of an
accomplished purpose. It was good to
see him.
Weeks affer, when the winter snows
had come and. Uncle Reuben's was a
refuge from the storm at the dinner
hour, I sat silently ever a "madeery.'' J
n& sank quietly into a chair opposite
and pointed across to a gentleman en
grossed in his dinner.
"Thah's ma lawyah ovah thah. "
"Do you nave a lawyer in the restau
rant business, Uncle Reuben?'
"Sometimes need 'em, sub. He's uh
pow'ful smaht man. He do uh lot uv
things faw me. "
Then he was silent for awhile.
"What do you use a lawyer far, Uncle
Reuben."
"Oh, jes' doin things I kain' do ma
se'f. Goin tuh places I kain' go wivout
leavin ma bus'ness. flighty handy folks
is lawyahs!"
The talk lapsed, and I went cn witn
the cigar and the wine. It suddenly go
curred to me, "Reuben, how is lajor
Baxter getting on these days?"
"Like uh eemman, sub. He's down
on his plantation."
"I thought he'd lost his plantation?"
"Yessuh, he did onct, but he got it

Uia "little Feller."
"I happened to be down in my cellar
the other morning when the ash man
came around to collect the ashes," said
a gentleman who resides on Second ave
nue. " was opening a barrel of great
red apples at the tini, and when the
big, dust covered and necessarily untidy
man came Dacs witn tne empty asn
barrel I picked up an apple and held it
out toward him, saying as I did so:
" ' Wou't yon have an apple?'
"He tcofc is eagerly, saying as he did
so:
" 'Thank ye, eir. I've a little feller
at home who'll be tickled to death to
git it. I most always find something or
other in the ash barrels to carry home
to 'im at night, but it ain't often I git
anything equal to this big apple. I tell
ye the little feller's eyes will shine
when he sees it. '
"I don't know bow many times that
day ray thoughts were cf that big, rough
banded fellow, with that apple pat
awav so carefully in his pocket for that
'little feller.'
"When evening came, I thurght Gf
the 'little feller' who was on the look
out for the big, dust covered father with
the calloused end soiled hands, but with
the true heart and the kiad!v won! that
made him a king in the eyes of that
'little feller.'
"These 'little fellers' glorify and
beautify many a home in which poverty
abides. But human affections can
sweetly and patiently endure toil and
rags and poverty when there is a 'little
feller' to meet and greet the father when
the long day is done." Detroit Free

Future of the X Kay In Surgical Work.
The future development of the X ray
phenomena will undoubtedly be in the
direction of surgical diagnosis. It is as
great a boon to mankind as the inven
tion cf the ophthalmoscope, and just as
the latter instrument has proved its
worth from the first day to this and has
saved thousands of people from total
blindness, so will the X ray be benefi
cial to the human race and save life
and limb of thousands of sufferers. It
will, cf course, need to be greatly im
proved. The one essential quality which
so far prevents applying it to the
densest part of the body with perfect
success is its propensity for traveling in
straight lines, piercing or rather being
entirely absorbed by intervening bodies.
Light rays do not necessarily go through
all substances, as is well known, and
they are net all absorbed, except when
falling cn certain substances, which are
called from their appearance dead
black. It being practically impossible
to reflect X rays to any great extent, we
might still resort to diffusing them
that is, to allowing them to be thrown
beck from any surface in a more or less
regular way. Such a feat would enable
us to inspect special sections of the
body, which we are not now able to in
spect, with considerable accuracy. New

Effectual Prayer.
There is an awful amount of so called
prayer that is only from the throat out- '
ward; it begins nowhere and ends in
nothing. Such pointless repetitions of
stereotyped phrases must be as weari- 1
seine to Gcd as they are unprofitable to
the uttercrs. There must be pith, point
and purpose as well as faith in every
effectual prayer. At an evangelistic
meeting for "roughs" over in New
York, when the leader called on same ,
one to pray, a hard looking character in !
the crowd arose and said: "0 Lord, for
give me for being a bad man, and please
excuse me. Lord, from saying any more
now. Amen." He did not need to say
anymore. He had told God just what he
wanted. Rev. Dr. Cuyler in Central

CHICAGO.
HALL
Xlce Assembly Roosis and Spacious Cabi
net Tor Eellcs of the Civil "War Re
sult of Fifteen. Xears of Htc. Work by
the Veterans.
Chicago Grand Army veterans have
the finest assembly rooms to be found
anywhere in the country. They have
not yet occupied their new quarters, and
it may be some time before they do eo,
for their new home is so grand and im
posing as to architecture and so rich in
decoration that to provide appropriate
and suitable furniture for it will cost a
small fortune, and the veterans are won
denne where the money is to come
from. The new hall will be dedicated on
May SO.
It was through the efforts of the
Grand Army .Memorial association that
their magnificent new quarters were ob
tained, and it was only after 15 years of
hard and persistent work by all the Chi
cago posts that the object was accom
plished. In 1SS1 the Chicago posts
awoke to a realization of the fact that.
while manv other states and cities bad
erected colossal monuments and elabo
rate memorial buildings, neither the
state of Illinois, that had furnished a
Lincoln, a Grant, a Logan and 250,000
men, nor Chicago had ever erected a suit
able monument or memorial building in
honor of those Illinois heroes who lost
tt ir lives fighting for the Union.
So an association was formed to build
a memorial hall. A Eite was selected on
what was then known as Dearborn park.
This was part of the old ort Dearborn
military reservation which had been re
served as public ground when the rest
was cut up into lots and sold. It was
supposed that the title to the property
rested with the United States govern
ment and had been so decided in court.
The Grand Armv men were joined by
the directors cf the Chicago Public li
brary, which also wanted part of the
nark as a site for a new library build
ing. The library people wanted the
south two-thirds, and the Grand Army
men asked for the north third. A bill
embodying theso requests was presented
to congress, but it failed.
About this time, howeTer, Justice
Harlan decided that the state of Illinois
JUDGE KJRH HA WES.
and not the federal government was the
real owner of the land, and the efforts
of the association were directed toward
the state legislature. Judge Kirk
Hawes, president of the Grand Army
Hall and Memorial association, secured
the passage of a bill authorizing the
Soldiers' home in Chicago to erect the
memorial on the north quarter of Dear
bom park. This was in July, 18S9, but
it was found that it was impossible to
raise the necessary funds.
At this crisis the directors of the Pub
lic library came forward and proposed
to join the Grand Army in securing the
passage of another bill authorizing the
erection of a library building covering
the whole square, in consideration of
which the library directors were to con
struct in the north end of the building
the memorial hall, which the veterans
did not have funds to erect.
The bill was passed, and the library
association agreed to lease the ball to
the Grand Army at a nominal rental foi
50 years, after which it should revert to
the library, but-was to be kept as a me
i -
morial hall forever.
In a most satisfactory manner have
the library directors fulfilled their promise-
The hall is not only the handsom
est section of the new library building,
but is said to be, without exception, the
haudsomest hall of the kind in the
world. The memorial hall and other
rooms cover a floor space of 60,000
square feet. Besides the memorial ball
there are eight smaller assembly rooms.
The hall is located on the second floor
and is approached through a magnificent
corridor paved with mosaic marble and
a grand marble staircase. A massive
door of bronze and mahogany opens into
the vestibule, whose walls and floor are
of marble. The rotunda is 45 feet Equare,
and from the mosaic floor to the beauti
ful stained glass windows in the dome
is a distance of 80 feet.
The mervirial ball itself opens from
the rotundt The walls, which are 60
feet high, are sheathed with green an
tique marble ornamented and relieved
by moldings of solid bronze. Enormous
windows, reaching almost from the ceil
ing to the floor, light the room and give
it the appearance of being even larger
and higher than it really is. In the pan
els under the arches over the doors and
windows are army and navy badges.
Around the walls are to be placed in re
lief the badges of every corps engaged in
the war, while on the west wall will be
a large badge of the Grand Army of the
Republic, faced on the east wall by the
seal of the (United States. The ceiling is
also richly decorated. Around the hall
are placed plate glass cases, in which
will be stored the priceless relics of the
great .tUuggle- which are now in tha
possession cf the Chicago posts or which
are to be collected in the future.

Something Aboat Xhir, tbs Cnly Charter
the General Hade.
uenerai jiicuieiian s lavonte war-
horse, usually called Dan. was a rfarV
bay, about 17 hands high, well bred,
with good action and never showing
signs of fatigue, no matter how long
the course. He was an extremely hand
some, showy animal, with more than
ordinary horse sense. Dan was a very
fast walker an important requisite in a
commander's charger but a disagree
able accomplishment so far as his staff
were concerned, as tneir norses m gen
eral were kept on a slow trot.
After the war Dan became the family
horse at General Mcdellan's country
home in Orange, and seemed to be proud
of his position, perxorming his duties
well and easily. On one occasion, when
driven to a neighboring estate by two
ladies of the general's family, and left
untied, as usual, at the door, Dan came
to the conclusion that they had remained
long enough for an afternoon call, so,
declining to waste any more time there,
he trotted back to his stable, carefully
turning out to pass carriages and other
vehicles met on the way home. Dan
died and was buried in Orange.
The general said of him; ' 'Dan was
one of those horses that could trot all
day long at a very rapid gait, which
kept all other horses at a gallop. He
earned from the aids the title of 'that
devil Dan' a name that he justified an
many a long and desperate ride before I
gave up the command of the Army of
the Potomac. Dan was the best horse I
ever had. He was never ill for an hour,
never fatigued, never disturbed under
fire. The dear old fellow survived ihe
war for many years, dying at a ripe old
age in IS 79. No matter how long we
might be parted once for nearly four
years he always recognized me the mo
ment we met again and in his own way
showed his pleasure at seeing me. Even
on the day Gf his death, which was a
painless one, he still attempted to rise
and greet me, but, unable to do so, he
would lean his head against me and lick
my hand. 2so soldier ever had a more
faithful horse than I had in Daniel

YOUNG MEN'S POPULARITY.

To the query, Are young men who
cannot, from religious convictions, play
cards, dance or attend the theater apt
to be popular with young women of re
finement and education who indulge in
sucn amusements, .toward. v. isos, m
"Problems For Young Men" in The
Ladies' Home Journal responds;
"Why, certainly. Why not? The
amusements in which a man indulges
have nothing to do with his outward
attractiveness or popularity. It is the
way in which a young man carries him
self in his deportment that makes or
mars his popularity with girls or men.
One of the most popular and delightful
fellows I know in !ew York has never
been inside of a theater, although he is
35 years of age. 2s or has he ever danced
or played cards. He was a personal
friend for ten years before I knew that
his religious principles precluded his in
dulgence in these amusements. Hi se
cret is that be does not carry bis convic
tions on his sleeve for everybody to rub
against. And of his popularity with
women, young and mature, I can assure
you absolutely. He reads about the new
plays and can, therefore, talk about
them if they come up in conversation.
If asked if he has seen a certain actor
or play, he merely replies in the nega
tive. Xever does he force his convic
tions upon others. A young man's pop
ularity with either sex rests upon some
thing more than his forms of amuse
ment. Amiability or manner, kindli
ness, a pleasant address, a manly out
look on life, honorable tirinciples all
these go far toward insuring popular
ity."
Remarkable Story About AnK,
A traveler returned from South Africa
tells of a singular combat that he once
witnessed in a deep forest in the heart
of the dark continent Happening to
cast his eyes toward the ground he no
ticed a caterpillar crawling along at a
rapid pace, followed by 100 or more
small ants. Being quicker in their
movements than the worm, the ants
would catch up with the caterpillar, and
one would mount his back and bite him.
rasing for an instant, the caterpillar
would turn his head and catch the ant
in such a way as to kill it almost in
stantly. This slaughter of their fellows
did not seem to have any effect upon the
attacking horde the place of the dead
warrior being presently filled by another
hero willing to sacrifice his life. After
slaughtering a dozen or more of his tor
mentors the worm began to show signs
of fatigue, whereupon the ants made a
combined attack At this the worm
sought safety by climbing a stalk of
grass, going up tail first and defending
himself with his head and strong jaws.
Seeing themselves outdone on that score
the ants set to work and soon felled the
stalk with their mandibles. When this
was done, they all pounced upon the
helpless worm and made short work of
him. St Louis Republic.

A laap In His Pocket.
.Not very many men carry lamps in

man who aces, and that is the lamp
lighter on the elevated road. It is an
alcohol lamp, like a section of btass
cylinder, five or six inches long and an
inch through, and with a slender tube
two or three inches long, holding the
wick, projecting at one end. The lamp
lighter conies in at the front door of the
car with his lamp lighted. With a rapid
ease acquired by experience he lights
the six lamps, seeming almost not to
pause in his progress t branch the car.
Ai lie is 111 uw last car 01 tne train, as
he pulls down the chimney over the bast

opens the gate and steps off upon the

side, ready to board the next train. A
