the conditions Gen eral Grant Is dying now came Dr Douglas voice In broken tones The Rev Dr Newman had knelt by the bedside nnd holding one of the mans nerveless hands began to pray You see the preacher Is busy and the doctors ought to be busy too Dr Shrady whispered grimly to his senior colleague It would be a torment without avail sighed the senior So thcie stood the medical code warding ofi succor from the dying man The general must expire per chance because the Initiative belong ed to a man without any at the mo incut Douglas must consent Shrady must not be shackled lie turned again to the patient leaned above him a moment and touched his pulse lie twisted the gray goatee in nervous twitches Suddenly he turned again ultimate resolve in his face and tip toed again to where his colleague was I say Douglas something must he done If this man dies here now what can we say to the medical world Kv ery doctor on earth will want to know what and when were the last shots we fired Shall we tell them that for ten minutes at the last half an hour so far as 1 know we stood idly and star ed at a dying manV The old doctor stirred wearily and turned a hopeless and therefore help less face to the younger one also there was in its lines a touch of won der Douglas it would da inn us both eternally and it ought to Perhaps you can afford it but I cant either as a physician or a human being Some things got to he dene Douglas It wont do I tell you Do But what would you do now V glancing pityingly at the family group and the slowly gasping jnan on the bed Something anything a hypoder mic of brandy first T Oh if you wish to try it yes It had been euxmgfa lhe code was satisfied Shrady w filling the lit tle silver syringe with the ardent liquor from French hillsides Some thing was being done Members of the family turned to watch The man ner of its doing somehow inspired them and the older doctor looking on drew near The left arm of the dying man was bared the slender hollow needle found its way and the potent brandy mingled -with the blood The Rev Dr Newman had risen from his praying Shrady was half kneeling in his place Both by differ ent means sought the same end Keenly the younger doctor leaned to the patient All his other senses had lent their powers to those of sight and hearing The tiny instrument gleam ed between thumb and finger of his still extended hand There was a slight catch in the generals throat followed by a halt sich Swiftly a new look came into the face of each physician swiftly the younger refilled the little syringe and hurried to the other side of the couch Then through the right arm sprang the potent tluid and again they wait ed the result very soon a long flut tering sigh then a longer stronger inspiration then measured breathing and finally consciousness When General Grant lay dying that April morning the work on his mem oirs which netted his family one half million dollars was little more than half finished He lived seventeen weeks afterward finished his task and was ready to go Frank W Mack in Saturday Evening Post Took the Hint A story is told of a certain English bishop well known for his verbosity who rose to address the house of lords on a very important occasion I will divide my speech under twelve heads he said to the discomfort of his audi ence The Marquis of Salisbury begged to be allowed to interpose with a little anecdote A friend of mine was re turning home late one night he said when opposite St Pauls he saw an intoxicated man trying to ascertain the time on the big clock there Just then it began to strike and slowly tolled out 12 The man listened looked hard at the clock and said you Why couldnt you have said that all at once The bishop heartily joined in the laughter which followed and took the hint contained in the story Not the Sealskin A speaker apropos of wifely sym pathy said at a recent dinner in New York How hard it is when the wife is unsympathetic Poor Jones

loftiest form what its projectors intended it should a perpetual memorial to the heroic dead who made the nation and it was paid tor by the women who are their lineal descendants In this hall of heroes the history and achievements ot the society is written in marble and made imperishable in tablets and figures ot bronze the in terior of Continental ball as the build ing is called shows that the arrange ment has been the subject of loving solicitude and unremitting thought on the part of those charged with this arduous duty Viewed in its complete ness it must be regarded as a model ot graceful colonial elegance united witti symmetry and practical use Eutenng from Seventeenth street the visitor will find a spacious corridor in marble and stucco 23 by 24 feet This corri dor leads iuto the various apartments given over to the national ollicers and to the auditorium by a series of hand somely carved doors In the large eutrance hall one gets some idea of the great interest taken in the societys work by the costly J statues of heroes placed in the orua meutal niches and over each door the gifts of chapters states and individu als These busts have been selected as follows The

possible of erection in bo short a time J JF J gflJflHtlpMtJfc I RODHHMIEEEHJ The Tragedy From Which Sprang Manollis Well A WEIRD TALE OF OLDEN DAYS Neither Fate Nor Flood Nor Hurricane Could Keep the Faithful Anniker From the Man She Loved and Frorrt Her Horrible Doom Trsrditinii Is not history but It serve to fill in the gaps left by the chroni clers of olden time and throws a lihi sometimes a lurid oue upon the manners and customs of bygone ages A dark deed cruel enough to be re membered even In a cruel age is re peated from father to son each gener ation adding its touch of superstitious marvel to the story till it grows into the fairy tale of today mythical yet not without a kernel of truth Among the picturesque peasant r of Roumania lingers many a weird tale of olden days One such legend is related concerning an ancient monas tery the remains of which are still to be seen on a wooded hillside Beneath the weird walls lie nine great lumps of granite and among these rocks rises a spring of clear water called by the peasants Manollis well and be lieved by them to have a strange and wonderful origin Once upon a time we are told a Roumanian noble named Negen was a captive in the hands of Selim the sul tan of Turkey During his exile Ne gen employed his time in studying architecture and possessing consider able talent he undertook to superin tend the building of a celebrated mosque Charmed by the beauty of the building the sultan granted Prince Negen his liberty and permission to carry back to his native land certain costly materials similar to those ued in beautifying the mosque Accompanied by nine skilled masons Negen returned to Roumania resolved to immortalize his name by buildimr there a religious house such as had never before been seen The site chosen the builders set to work under his orders but their labor was in vain for every nicht evil spir its pulled down what had been erect ed during the day One night Manolli the chief of the builders had a strange dream A mysterious voice warned him that the building they had undertaken would never be reared unless they built into the walls the living form of the first woman who appeared at break of day On awaking from sleep Manolli told his comrades of this vision and together they made a solemn vow to sacrifice thus the first woman maid or matron who appeared the next morn ing With the first streak of dawn Ma nolli mounted the scaffolding and scan ned the surrounding hills with pallid anxious face Alas who is it he sees in the distance His own fair yoiinu wife bringing food and wine for her lord Then Manolli threw himself upon his knees and besought heaven to send a flood to prevent her from com ing and at once the rain poured down and the river rose so that a waste of water covered the valley But the young wife waded through the water and Manolli in despair beheld her still approaching Again lie prayed and a fierce hurri cane swept over the mountains level ing trees and hurling rocks in the way Yet on she came Anniker had a brave spirit and neither flood nor tempest would keep her from the man she loved Joyfully the masons received her but Manollis face was pale and strick en with anguish They led the young wife to a niche in the newly built wall and told her to stand there for a joke while they pre tended to build her in At first she laughed merrily and entered into the jest but her smiles vanished as quick ly the wall rose from aukle to knee and from knee to waist Poor Anui kers entreaties and cries did not move the hearts of the stern builders and soon her voice was heard no more The prophetic vision proved true The building suffered no more from invisible foes and when complete sat isfied the pride of Negens heart Ma nolli alone took no pleasure in the edi flee which had cost him so dear It was finished and the jnasons pre pared to return to their own country Negen however determined that they should never return The design which they had worked out so admi rably was the creature of his brain the darling of his heart it should never be reproduced So he invited them all to the roof for the last time Then treacherously removing the ladders he left them there to die The masons devised various means for reaching the earth but they were all killed in the attempt to escape and were changed by fairies into the great blocks of stone which remain to this day in proof of the tragic event Manolli alone made no effort to save himself and joined in none of the con trivances prepared by his comrades He heard only Annikers voice calling to him Manoli Manolli Follow ing the mystic voice he sprang from the parapet falling lifeless upon the earth and the tears welling up from his broken heart became a fountain ever clear oool and fresh and to this day it is know as Manollis well Lon don Family Herald Eveiy base occupation makes one sharp in its practice and dull in every other -Sir Philip Sidney TWO R0YAL CHAPS Alfonsos Boys Much In the Publio
