Happenings in a New Garden of Eden.

Ilcv. Henry Wright hud hern assistant rec
tor In a city church for a jcar , and was
About lo assume charge of liU nrat Inde
pendent pnrUh , Its tiuclctis being In a smalt
country village.
The clrrgyman had visited the place once
and had been fa favorably Impressed that
lie was eager to enter upun. his new Held
of labor.
So secluded and quiet was the village of
lUoadlawn , so great wns the beauty In nnd
about It that It nccmed not unlllco a modern
garden of KJcn , without < uiy serpent to
create a disturbance. Mr. Wright was confi
dent that the people would provn to be guile
less and kindly.
One- Sunday In the early fall he bcgafi his
duties as rector. lie preached a cheery ,
sympathetic sermon , telling his hearers what
he purposed to do for them and anklng for
their hi-arty co-operation. Man ) shook hands
with 111 in after the service and promised to
old him ns much as they could.
During the next month ttcv. Henry
'Wright pursued his work with zeal , tic
called on lib parishioners and sought to
become welt acquainted with them. lie
preached sermons that were Interesting even
If not filled with deep thought , and ho re
ceived frc < iucnt compliments.
Ho noticed that the maiden ladles , of whom
there were a goodly number , some rather
old and sedate , others young and blooming ,
had her own dlsngrrable topic In readiness
and Introduced It while her fattier was ab
sent for the purpose of atlcnJIng to his Into
chores.
"You like much I "
ringing very , believe ,
she remarked.
"Ycfl , t am glad that our choir , of which
you have long been the leader , takes so
much Interest In It.stork and helps make
our services attractive. "
"Wo have a new singer , Miss Lacey , who
Is quite active. "
"Yes ; she 'vlll piove to be a very desirable
addition to the choir , t trust , " said the
unsophisticated clergyman , unguardedly.
1 "Sho has a sweet voice , and has been well
. trained In' the art. "
I "I agree with you that she Is a good singer ;
, but I am nfrald she will try to make herself
too prominent. It Is well for a comparative
stranger to b modest , and to defer to the
older members of the choir. I understand she
Is lo sing a solo next Sunday. "
I "Yes ; hut If any one Is to blame , I am the
one. I requested her'to sing It. "
| "t heard so , but could hardly believe It.
It has not been customary for any member
of nur choir to nlug alonu. It Is an Innova
tion that Is not likely to meet with the ap
proval nf our best people. "
"Your Information surprises ms. I thought
It would be plcastnt to Introduce n .feature
In the service which Is qulto common In
many-churches at present. "
"You doubtless meant well , " said Miss
Thorough VN heat with a Harcasm in her voleo

manifested a lively Interest In him , but his
modesty and experience IpJ him to believe
that they sought his prcscreo ( or spiritual
guidance rather than for any worldly rea-
IJut his tranquil days were numbered.
When Miss Charlotte Lacey and her wid
owed mother camu from a city to Uroadlawn
* * tO reSI3D' tllo rector's Interest In life was
no longe.r strictly conduct ! to his clerical
duties.
Miss Lacey was one of those sweet , spirit
ual beings whcsc effect on susceptible and
romantic yo t i. ? men Is that of angels walk
ing upon the earth. The yottnK clergyman ,
taught to reverence good women , felt that
his heart wa ? smitten and began to show her
timid" attentions not vouchsafed to other
.fproale . .members . of his nock.
Mies Lacey Joined the rholr and all of the
men- declared that her sinning was beautiful
beyond anything that had over been heard In
the church. As he listened to her voice It
was with great dllllculty that Rev. Henry
Wright could prevent his thoughts from
wandering lno ! channels not suited to the
Bacredtiess of the occasion , and that his eyes ,
> In splto-of his caution , wandered In Char-
lotto's direction too often was the verdict of
inoro''tl > nn 0110 closely watching spinster In
his congregation.
II.
Qnojnornlng Miss Almlra Thoroughwheat ,
daughter of Simon Thoroughwheat , first ves-
tryman-of St. John's church , met Mr. Wright
at the store and In a gracious manner in
vited him in behalf of her father and her-
eclf to take tea with them In the evening.
The tea was a somewhat austere affair , In
eplto of the efforts of entertainers nnd guest
to maUo themselves agreeable. Mr. Thorough-
wheat's grave , cold face was Inhospitable teem
em lies. .lioth ho and hU daughter had long ,
thin noses and grim , square jawx.
Ily their Imperious methods they had con
quered ( ho weak and Incurred the enmity of
the strong. As most of the members of St.
John's church were possessed of a moderate
personality , Mr. Thoroughwhcit and his
daughter , by ; vlrtuo of their rnnetcrfiil na
tures , had naturally become the rulers of
the congregation , their will being regarded
da law.
Already owaro of this fact , the now rector
was haunted with a foreboding that If ho In
sisted on his full rights bo would bo likely
to offend , his haughty parishioners and bring
upon himself much trouble.
On tiio'dttier hand Mr. Thoroughwheat and
JHss Almlra suspected that .Mr. Wright had
n mind of his own , that ho might not con
cent to bo under their thumb , as had been
the case with hl > j predecessor , nn old clergy
man devoid of force of character.
"I hope , " sal'l Mr. Thoroughwheat after
the cake had been passed and the eating
was that of persons who have already par
taken of enough , "that you will bu careful
not to depirt in jour preaching from the
Bound doctrines of the church. I thought I
detected a rather dangerous tendency to
ward the so-called liberal Ideas of the day
In your last sermon. "
' 'I 'bcllcvo ' in maintaining the regular doc
trines of the church , but you muet know that
nowadays our thoughtful clergymen ( aver a
Broader and. moro Intelligent Interpretation
of the scriptures than that which was pcr-
fniltod In i less enlightened age. "
"Tho faith of my fathers is good enough
for mo and It IB good enough for other people
ple , too. I do not believe In new-fangled
notions. "
"Hut you believe 'In progress. You use a
mowing machine and hook and tackle for
Removing hay from 110 cart to the mow of
your barn. Your father used scythes and
pitchforks. "
"That Ii another thing. I am astonished
to hear you compare modern inventions with
the doctrines of Christianity. The blblo Is
the revealed word of God. It Is the same
now that It over was an unalterable guide
for sinful man. "
, "Conio , father , you must not get in'.o a
controversy , " said Miss Almlra with a hard
tort of Hugh. "Let us change the subject
and retire to the parlor. "
Almlra had her own reasons for not wishIng -
Ing licr father to become angry with Mr.
Wright. She did not purpose to let her
f ther Interfere with tier plain. But ehe
not be qulto the thing In our church , and 1
take the liberty to glvo you a friendly word
of caution. "
The leavc-taltlng was cool and constrained.
Mr. Wright was aware that he had offended
two of his loading parishioners , and ho re
turned to his boarding house In nn un
enviable frame of mind.
I.MIss Thoroughwheat went to bed with
anger In her heart. Almlra knew that there
were gray hairs on her head nnd unwelcome
furrows in her face. It was time for her to
wed if she was ever to be married ; and she
had picked out the gold-looking clergyman ,
five years younger than herself , as the fit
man to be her husband. He needed a prac
tical helpmeet , not a pretty and an Inef
ficient doll like Miss Lacey. Well. If ho could
not see what was best for him , she. with her
father's powerful assistance , would make It
waun for the presumptuous clergyman.
III.
Miss Lacey sang the solo on the following
Sunday , but her trembling voice and nervous
manner betrayed that she was not at case.
The rector "susjiectcd tint Irritating re-
maj-ks had come to her ears. Accordingly ,
Monday evening ho called on Miss Lacey.
"You cannot suspect how much I have re
gretted that I consented to take so promi
nent a part In the service , " she said ,
"But you must not blame yourself , " said
Mr. Wright with eager gallantry. "I am the
ono who Is responsible , for I asked you to
do It. "
"I know It , and It was only to please you
that I did It. "
The answer dcllgntcd the Infatuated clergy
man , and ho felt ready to bravo anything for
the sake of the beautiful woman who had
uiadu an admission so ( Uttering to him
'
self.
"I hope you do not regret having tried to
plcaso mo. Let mo assure you that I fully
appreciate II. "
"I thank you for your kind Interest , but I
am sorry that I have been the means of
causing some of the members of the choir
to bo offended. "
"Do not bo nfrald to speak. It was Miss
ThoroughwhuH who did not like It. "
"How can you knaw ? "
"Never mind ; but I do know nnd I sympa-
thUo with you. "
Mr. Wright Impulsively caught one of the
glrl'a hands and pressed it. Miss Lacey tried
to withdraw It. but dlil not succeed , and burst
Into lea-s. "
"I hnvo not offended you , I hope ? " ho
anxiously asked.
" 0 , no ; you nro very kind. It was be
cause I appreciated your goodness. "
The sight cf u beautiful woman weeping
will upset any man who Is not a brute.
"Lot mo sympathize with you. Allow mete
to tell you ah that I love you and ind "
Shu did not repel him , and blushes began
to chase away her grief. Ho clasped her In
his anuj , and they understood each other.
IV.
The next day he announced the engage
ment , and there uas a greit hubbub. Miss
Thoroiighwhent and her father were EO angry
that they did not attempt to conceal tuelr
disapproval , and a bevy of disappointed
maidens who had angled for the attentions
of tiie agreeable rector supported them , Hut
most of the men In the parish and many of I '
the married women took up the cudgels In
detinue of Mr. Wright.
Hlliert Woodruff , the youngest vestryman ,
who had for some time chafed under the Im-
JH * * Ui methods of old Thoroughwheat , had
\ne courage to sustain the rector boldly , and
placed himself at the head of the clergy
man's adherents.
In the midst of the commotion Sir. Wright
sought the presence of the- bishop of the
diocese , and to him poured forth his trou
bles with disingenuous eloquence , Illshop
Kox listened attentively.
He was both o
shrowil and kind-hearted man , an ! lie knew
that the rector told the truth ,
"My dear boy. " he said "
. , "I understand It
all , The experience Is new to you , but not
now to our profession. Shakespeare under
stood It when ho said , 'Hell hath no fury
like a woman , scorned,1 If one woman's rage
could call forth so strong u comment from
the master reader of human nature , what
would lie bavo eald bad he contemplated tlio
fate of n young rlorg nan * ho net * Into
trouble wl'h maoy women ? "
' YPS , hut I did not scorn them. I treated
them all politely.- "
"True ; but they do not so regard It. All
women ire not angola , like your future wife.
The wiles and ijtttlncss of some fcmlnlr-e
hi < ul arc great , 1 nm sorry to say. Ile-
t member what the-great Jonathan Ed-wards
! said. "
"U'hat did he say ? "
"tthy , he even advised a suitor for the
hand of ft daughter of his who was bld-
tempercJ not to. rn.ar.ry her. 'There arc
Rome poisons with whom the grace of God
nbldcu tb.it you can't , ' "
"Well put , t must say , " remarked Mr.
Wrlglit , admiringly , '
"Now , my boy , there is but one sensible
thing to be done. You must resign your
ch-trgo Immediately and 'must marry the
woman of your choice. I will then transfer
yod to another parish , and , as a married
man , you will have a more pleasant expe
rience In your next field of labor. "
Miss Thoroughwheat remained perma
nently single , and Klbcrt Woodruff opposed
old Thoroughwhcal successfully , depriving
him of tic support of the majority and
weakening his dictatorial power. * .

Amoni ; the first promotions we made ,
wiltes Theodore Roosevelt In the Century ,
ncre two which Illustrated the attitude of
the board toward cases of this kind , and
nhlch also Incidentally Illustrated exactly
what we mean by "taking the force out
ot politics" that Is , by administering It on
principles of decency , and appointing and
promoting men ontheir marlts , without re
gard to their political backing. The first
case was that of an old fellow a Teternn
ot the civil war , who was at the time a
roundsman. I happened to notice one day-
thai he had saved a woman from drowning ,
and had him summoned so that I might
look Into the matter. The old fellow
brought up his record before mo. and showed
not a little nervousness and agitation , for
It appeared that he hsd grown gray In the
service , had porfcrmod feat nftcr feat of
heroism , but had no political baqklng of
any account. He was a Grand Army man ,
but not one of the "political" type , and so
had not received any attention from the
former police beards ; and now , at last , ho
thought ( hero was a chance for him.
Ho had been twenty-two years on the
force , nnd during that time- had saved some
twenty-five persons from death by drowning ,
varying the performance once or twice by sav
ing persons from burning buildings. Twice
congress had passad laws especially to em
power the then secretary of the treasury ,
John Sherman , to give him a medal for dls-
tlngulsbcJ gallantry In saving life , The Life
Saving society had also given him Its medal ,
and so had the police department. C'j ex
amining lnto , his record carefully we found
that It was wholly free from complaints of
any lull action of duty , and that he was sober
a-d trustworthy. We felt that he was en
titled to his promotion , and he got It. Wo
did not know his politics , nor did we care
about them. It Is very unlikely that the
woman whcm he last saved , as he swam out
tnward hjr , felt any special Interest as to
whether he had voted for Cleveland or Harri
son ; nor < lld we. He had risked his life
freely again and again In the performance of
his duty ; he had conducted hlmscl ! so as to
bo a credit to the department , aiul a credit
to the city ; and wo felt thnt ho was en
titled to his reward.
It Is worth while mentioning that he kept
on saving llfo after he was promoted to a
s'rgoantcy. On October 21 , 1S9B , he , again
saved a man from drowning , It was at
night , nobody else was in the .neighborhood ,
ami the slip from which he jumped In was
In absolute darkness , and he was about ten
minutes In the water , which was very cold.
The captain of the precinct. In reporting the
case , said : "The sergeant was off the bulk
head and Into the water after his man
quicker than it takes to say 'Jack Itobln-
011. ' " There was ro way In v h ch t * e board
could reward him for this , except by telling
l.lm that he was an honor to the department ;
for ho had been given all the medals , and
bars to the medals , that he could be given.
It was the twenty-ninth person he had saved
during his twenty-three years' service In the
department , a d he was 55 yts old when he
saved him.

Cnn n Alii 11 l.oviMore Than One
Woman at n Tlim-f
In a divorce case which has been In prog
ress out west , observes the Washington Post ,
the delicate question arose as to whether a
man could love two women at the same time.
The perplexing problem was not settled , be
cause the erring husband was guilty of u
lent ; list of other sins , and the pleading wife
secured separation with comparative ease.
The question which has been raised , how
ever , is ono to wrinkle the brow of Solomon.
U'e do not propose to answer ft hastily. It
Involves nn Intimate acquaintance with hu
man nature and a close study of p&ychology
and philosophy. There are many things to
bo considered , any one of which might prove
an important factor. If one woman was
pretty and poor nnd the other merely
wealthy ; If one was 'a sparkling blonde and
the other a serious brunette ; If ono possessed
a vlnc-llko" " . clinging nature and the other
commanded adoration through her glorious
Independence It might be that when th sc
diverse but equally attractive qualities woic
presented a man might simultaneously love
the pcss ssors of bo'ih.
The evidence on this interesting point Is
unfortunately diverse. IHbllcal Judgment Is
to the effect that no man can serve two
masters , can love < ? od and Mammon at the
same time. The fXime line of reasoning
would Indicate 'that love for the Lady Maud
arid the Lady Isabel must flourish at sep
arate Intervals. In the Beggar's Opera we
are made acquainted with a gentleman who
could "bo happy with either -were t'other
dear charmer away. " This authority mainly
admits the Inability of Ithe heart to encom
pass more tlian one real and genuine love.
The first dear charmer must bp absent bs-
fore the other can provo engrossing.
A genius like Solomon may bo happy with
700 wives , but even Solomon , we are prone
to brllcve , had his favorite , before whose
shrlno ho burned thcMncpnso of passionate
and exclusive dBVoflon. Even" such alf-lov-
Ing poets as Snelloy .and Byron , when they
met Itho woman whom they really adored ,
and whom they lov d at the expense of dis
regarding the social code , wcro unequal to
the task of loving moro than- this one woman
at the same time. And If these romantic and
susceptible poets could'not Include two lovers
In their all-embracing affections , how are wo
common mortals , more callous and unim
pressionable , to ba expected to expand our
hearts ?
We know there have been Instances where
a man has appeared to the In love with two
women 'at the same' ttmd , btiftve nro dis
posed to regard this synchronism as more ap
parent than real. One must be elf wtih the
old love before ho can be on with the new ,
The lvy clings only to ono wall , and the
tendrils of the heart attach themselves firmly
but to ono pbject. Dovotlon to two fair
crea-turcs may seem to bo actuated by til ?
sanio degree of passion , but a close analysis
will show that In ono case there Is real love ,
and In thp other there Is merely the seui-
blanro of the genuine thing.
Still , as wo said before , the question opens
too vast n field of speculation to bo decided
offhand. The obiter diction can-not b ? ut
tered uutll all the evidence Is In. A thou
sand experiences must ba gathered and
weighed , and oven th n wr do not know that
the rule can be establlbhed. Of ono thing
only are wo certain. If you are a married
man. don't try the experiment. It Is quite
possible that It may lead you Into trouble ,
