Moving Sidewalk in Paris. A. well-known engineer , AI. Casalon- n. Is BO favorably impressed with the practicability of the moving sidewalk that he has worked out a plan for : i rolling platform running from the Place de la Concorde to the Place de la Uastile. That part of Paris ROW has an omnibus lino , but owing to the crowded condition of the streets the accommodations are very unsatisfac tory. The platform itself would con sist of three parallel parts , running with speeds of 2 , 4 , 5 and 7 miles an Lour , respectively. A passenger walk lug on the third platform could thus flttain a speed of nine to ten miles. The promoters are contemplating even a quadruple platform , making the high er speed as great us twelve to fourteen miles an hour. Shouting Their Praises. Klrklaiul , 111. , .Ian. 2. ( Special. ) CnreJ of the terrible Rheumatic pains that made him a cripple for years , Mr. JUchard 11. Greenhon , an old and re spected resident of this place , is shout ing the praises of the remedy that cured him , Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I had the rheumatism in my left limb so that I could not walk over ten to fifteen rods at a time and that by the use of two canes , " Mr. Greenhou says. "I would have to sit or He down on the ground when I was out trying to walk and the sweat would run down my face , with so much pain. I could not sleep at night for about five or six weeks. "I tried different doctors' medicines , but they were all no good. Then I sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills and almost from the first they brought relief. By the time I had taken fourteen boxes of them my rheumatism was all gone iind I can truly say I feel better than I have in the last twenty-five years.

Pat's Attempt at Suicide. Pat had oomo over to America w.ith the expectation of finding money ly ing around loose , only waiting for some one to pick it up. Of course this was long ago. Pat had soon become disillusioned and was always glad to get hold of odd jobs which would not him a little something to help him keep body and soul together. Finally , "becoming tired of the struggle , he de il cided to end it all. and was very in dustriously tying a rope around his waist when his landlord happened in on him.

Who with my wealth In the world can compare Rich in the glory of Jenny's gold hair ! Beautiful , down streaming hair that I hold In the hands of me kissing and loving its gold. Talk about Poverty bright the sun streams Take the world's riches and give me Love dreams ! Dreams in the dark skies , and dreams in the fair , The light the brave splendor of Jenny's gold hair : Earth hath its millions but nothing like this ; The beautiful hair whose golden ringlets I kiss ! There is no Poverty ! Give me , dear God , Not the gold harvests that color the sod ; Not the world's breath , over far oceans blown But the red lips of Jenny , that lean to my own ! And even in death just a joy , like to this : Her gold hair to shadow me sweet with Love's kiss ! -Frank L. Stanton , in Atlanta Constitution. THREE IN A GARDEN N the gray stone steps that led from one smooth lawn to another stood Cynthia. One foot had sought a lower step , the other lingered above , and. the clinging gown of white , out of which peeped shoulders yet whiter , outlined the slender figure. The expression-on the face under the large hat , bent downward by ribbon tied daintily beneath the chin , showed rapt attention to the notes of a violin , pro ceeding from behind the closely crop ped hedge. It was a picture a man might look upon for all a summer's day , and then not have his fill. But I , from my seat beneath the trees , found no pleasure In it "Curse the long-haired , fiddling fel low ! " I muttered , and began to walk across the lawn to Cynthia. But even when I stood below her , with my hat doffed , I might have been a man in visible for all the notice I gained. "Good day , Cousin Cynthia , " said I. The music from behind the hedge sobbed and wailed yet louder. I my self could have fancied a tune with more spirit ; something to stir a man's blood to fill him with the wild mad ness of the charge aye , or even a rousing song to suit the passage of the flagon. But it was evidently to the taste of my cousin , for she still stood listening , and took no notice of my salutation. "It is a fair morning , " said I , at length , thinking she was not aware of my presence , and seeking to at tract her notice. "Your voice is not in harmony with these sweet strains , cousin. " she re plied , not favoring me with even so much ns a look. "In truth , a crying child would suit them better , " I retorted. Cynthia deigned no reply , but drew aside as I ascended the steps and stood abreast of her. 'You treat me harshly , cousin , " said I. ' "I did not bid you come. " "Will you go up with me ? " I In quired , pointing to the lawn above us. "Nay , I am going down. " "To him , " I added , bitterly. "You do , indeed , go down. " Cynthia laughed merrily. "A witty cousin , " she cried. "But possessing little courtesy , as. indeed. I found last night. " , "I was angered , and did not pick my words. " "Indeed , but you did , cousin ; you picked the most unpleasant. " "Perhaps I had occasion. " "Perhaps ? Or not ? It Is of little consequence , " exclaimed Cynthia , rais ing her white shoulders Avith a great show of indifference. "Good morning , cousin. " She held , out her hand to me , and I touched it lightly with my lip.s. Then she ran dowji the steps , and began to cross the Ia-wn below. I have heard it said , and by those who should know , that none moved with more grace than my cousin Cyn thia. And I , ns I stoou motionless on the steps , gazing after her , was sud denly fiJled with a veiy passion of love and longing. 1 would go after her throw myself at her feet , and beg her to give me back her love , which but a day since I had thought was mine. But as my pride and my love fought within me , Cynthia had reached the hedge whence en me the music. I fan cied she half turned her head toward me ; certainly she paused a moment. I ran down the steps. But then she vanished behind the hedge ; and immediately the music ceased , I turned away full of anger and despair , thou . as yet I failed to realize how that which had happened were possible , and how my dream of happiness had been shattered in an hour. For on the previous evening there had been dancing in the great house that stood in the midst of the garden , and I , as a favored suitor , had many times claimed the hand of the Lady Cynthia. It is true it had been granted me , and my friends had still no reason tc believe but that I was in possession of her heart. But I knew differently , for though her hand was In mine , her eyes sought continually the face of a young stripling , a mem ber of the company of musicians hired to play while we danced. At first I mistrusted my eyes , refusing to be lieve such a thing. Few were more proud than my cousin , and it seemed impossible that she , of the highest in the land , could smile on a mere fiddler from the court. But a lover's eyes are quick ; and the truth , hideous though It were , forced itself upon me. Then , foolishly , I spoke bitter words to her , and she returned them. I reproached her , perhaps assuming more than my position warranted , for there was as yet no formal bond between us , only , as I hoped , a complete understanding of the future. We parted in anger , and all the night I had tossed sleepless. There was a mystery in it I could not fath om. No words had passed between them , and love , if it were love , had come swiftly , with but a look to kin dle it. Once I thought it but a whim to try my love ; but to choose for the test a man of mean birth , as this musi- cia'n , that were impossible for my proud cousin. For a few minutes I paced the lawn with head bent and hands clasped be hind my back. Then the impulse seized me to follow Cynthia , and play the spy. That I should see nothing that would please me I felt assured , but I desired to know the worst. So I walked swiftly to the hedge , and , find ing uo one behind it , continued my steps to a belt of trees that formed part of the great park of which the house and garden were the heart In the shadow of the trees stood Cynthia , and by her side the boy mu sician , his fiddle lying neglected on the ground and his hands clasping hers. Then , as I watched , I saw him kiss her , and she returned the kiss. I have ever been counted a man of cool brain and quiet temper , but here was a matter far different to a whis tling bullet or the thunder of charging horses. There Hashed into my mind a wild impulse to kill this stripling Avho stood between me and 1113- heart's de sire. That the deed was unlikely to further my wooing was an argument that did not enter into my hot head. It was her name 1 cried as I ran to ward them. "Cynthia ! " The musician drew back , but Cyn- thia faced me calmly. "Why , cousin , what is this ? A sword drawn before a lady ? Has the sun addled your brain ? " "I pray you to leave us. " I said to her , the words coming thickly. "Your presence is not of my seek ing , " she replied , "and unless Master llerrick also wishes to be rid of " me "Nay , nay , " stammered the youth. 1 turned to him sharply. "I have a matter to discuss with you , " said I. He would not meet my gaze , but kept his eyes on the ground. "Put up your sword , then , " quoth Cynthia. "Such arguments are poor logic. " My head was cooling , and I thrust the weapon back into its sheath. "The gentleman is evidently more- used to the bow than to the sword , " I said , scornfully , pointing to the violin Ij-ing on the ground. Then I turned on my heel and left them. The flowers were bright in the sum mer sunshine and I strode about the garden. All things spoke of beauty and happiness , and the joy of living. But in my mind Avas the picture of my love in the arms of another and re turning kiss for kiss. Yet the chosen lover of the Lady | Cynthia , a boy , a fiddler and a cow ard. My thoughts found utterance in scornful words. "Tut ! These Avomeu are mad creat ures , and it is foolish to have aught to do with them. There is plenty of work for a man and a sword to do in the world , and brave companions Avith Avhom to live. The tiddlers for the women. The men for 4the light and the wine cup. That is life for ' ' me ! "Cousin Richard ! " The words came softly and SAvcetly to iny ears. I turned sharply and found Cynthia standing behind me. Her hands were clasped before her , and her head bent a picture of bash ful humility , a little , I thought , too per fect to be true. "Well ? " I inquired shortly , being not yet recovered from my anger and scorn of womankind. "I have thought from your manner or , indeed , cousin , from your Avant of manner that you are not pleased Avth me. " That left me Avithout a word. For none but a blind man could have been displeased with her as she stood there before me in the sunlight. "It is a sad matter when cousins quarrel. " she continued. "You kissed the folloAV. " said I , speaking harshly , to hide the softness of my heart. Her humility vanished at ray Avords. "Why not ? " she cried. "What right have you to spy on me ? I will kiss X ' whom I like so you need have no fear for yourself. Cousin Richard. " Now , I had determined to have no repetition of the quarrel of the previ- ous night So I ansAvered quietly , seeking to knoAv the truth , and to abide the result as a man should. "I ask your pardon for my hasty Avords , " I said. "But a few weeks ago you made me believe that my suit Avas not distasteful. Now , in a moment , you cast me off for another. Have I no excuse for sorroAV and anger ? " "Perhaps , Dick , " she said softly. Then I Avas conquered. I threw my self at her feet , crying that I loved her and AA-ould die for her , and all the SAveet mad speeches that lovers make. But she stood quietly , and AA'hen I found no more Avords ( they Avere ever Avont to fail me ) she looked down at me and said smiling : "The sun is Avarni , and I fear " I sprang to my feet , for a moment hating Avhere I had loved. But before I could speak Cynthia held out her hands to me , crying : "Nay , you misunderstand me. I did but suggest that under the great oak tree Ave might converse with more comfort , and" ( here she smiled at me ) "with less chance of being overlooked. " Again my anger left me at her words , and we crossed the laAvn into the cool shade of the trees. One of them , a mighty oak , had its trunk cir cled by a Avooden seat It was not the first time we had A'isited it "Are you still very angry with me , Dick ? " asked Cynthia , wLe : ? we were seated. "IIoAV can I be pleased ? " I returned mournfully. "Then AVO must sit apart , not being friends , " she said , and glided round the seat so that her back Avas toward me and the trunk of the tree betAveen us. So we sat in silence , while I ponder ed on the riddle that was so hard to read. AVhy had she come to me , a discarded and angry lover , Avith the kisses of another and more favored suitor fresh on her lips ? And greater wonder still , why did she stay Avith me , and speak to me in this manner ? Either her heart was hard , and taking pleasure in my pain , or else there Avas some mystery in the matter. Yet I could but believe my eyes , and they had seen her kiss him. Presently , as no sound came from the other side of the tree , I moved slightly , and bent my body so that I could see the graceful curve of her Avhite neck , and a rosebud nestling in her dark hair. Then suddenly she turned her head and met my gaze. "Why do you look at me , Cousin Richard , if you are so angry Avith me ? But perhaps there is hate in your eyes. Is there hate in your eyes , Cousin Richard ? " For ansAver I moved toAvard her , but she held out her bauds as if to push me away. "Nay , nay , " she cried , "it is not safe to have an angry man AA'ho hates me too near. " "You know that I do not hate you , " I ansAvered. "I would see for myself. Look at me again. Dick. " Obediently I turned my head , and , she doing likewise for a moment. AA-O azed into each other's eyes. Then she turned from me again , and said gravely shaking her head : i "Nay , I think I need have no fear. You may come round a little just a little more Dick. " And then I had the advantage , for j ' my arm slipped round her Avaist so ] that she could not run aAvny. and Avith [ the air of a master ( as. indeed , a man , is Avhen he holds his love in his arms ) i demanded that she should tell me the , ( ansAver to the riddle. "There was once , " she began , as if she told some tale of the fairies , "a 1 poor girl who worked for her bread. She was foster sister to one who could have given her all she needed , but in her pride she Avould have none of it. Her only talent was in music , so she joined a company of musicians , and because none but men might play Avith t t them in public places , she donned ' man's attire. But it led her into sad trouble , for one day a gallant gentlei i ! man would have slain her because she met her sister secretly , that their friendship might not lead to the dis covery of her disguise , and because that sister kissed her. " "But why did you not tell me this before ? " I cried , amazed at the story. "Your words were hard last night , deserving punishment , and I thought Cynthia paused and looked up at me roguishly. "Yes ? " I inquired , pressing her closer to my side. "I thought that if I Avere to have you for a husband , I had best train you to be a good one. " Harold Ohl- EOU , in the King. A Gratiitioiis Protest. A Philadelphia commercial traA-eler , who AA-as stranded in a Georgia village , sat on the porch of the small inn , pa tiently awaiting the announcement of dinner. At noon , says the Philadelphia Press , a darky appeared at the door and rang a big hand bell. Immediately the "coon" dog , Avhich had been asleep in the sunshine , awoke , raised his nose toward the sky and hoAvled loud and dolorously. The darky stopped ringing the bell and scowled at the dog. "l"o' shet up ! " . he shouted. "Yo' don' hafta eat dis dinnar ! 'Sides , Avhav's yo' mannahs. daAvg ?

Occupants of the White House have gone to the cap itol for their second inaugurations ; this has naturally been the case with every tAVO-term President since Washington became the seat of government But no man already in that office has ever gone through the ceremonial for the first time. This peculiar situation arises from the fact that no one of the other Vice Presidents who has succeeded to the Presidency Tyler , Fillmore , John son or Arthur was elected for a sec ond term. When McKinley follOAved Cleveland in 1897 , the incoming and the outgoing Presidents were , according to custom , almost inseparable compan ions on the inaugural journey. Four years ago , when Mr. McKinley was for a second time inaugurated , there AAas no outgoing President to ride through the avenu ° with him. This year there Avill be none. It has never before hap pened twice in succession that there was no retiring President to accom pany the President-elect. The second Inauguration of a President already in office hab ajways seemed somewhat anomalous , sincethe ceremonial signi fies no real change of administration or of policy. This Avill explain why , in spite of all efforts , second inaugu rals seldom excite the interest or at tract the crowds , of an original induc tion into office. This time , however , as Mr. Roosevelt has not before been honored in this way , the celebration promises to be unusually brilliant Preparations on an extensive scale are already under way. " " The annual report of the comptroller of the currency gives , in a feAV figures , an amazing illustration of available Avealth and financial strength of this American nation.

Uncle Sam , the financial giant among the nations , is using his strength as beneficially to mankind as any , and more so than many , as becomes an intelligent and highly civilized giant According to a recent bulletin of the Agricultural Department , the United States is the richest country on the globe , and the farmer the richest of all classes of citizens. The bulletin esti mates the total value of the farmer's crops at $3,200,000.000 as against a to- til of $3,073,000,000 in 1902 and $2.- 845,000,000 in 1901. This year's enor- mous total is made up as folloAvs : Corn , $955,000,000 ; wheat , $551.000.000 ; cotton , $000,000,000 ; hay , $550,000,000 ; potatoes , $158,000.000 ; oats , rye , bar ley , tobacco , buckwheat , A-egetables , fruits and other agricultural products , $350,000,000.
