The heat was terrible. As far as the eyo could Bee the white burning road wound Its way between gardens of olive trees and dwarf oaks under a great, flat, silver sun which filled all the 6ky. There was not a spot ' of shade, not a breath of air. There was nothing but the vibrating heat and the shrill cry of the grasshoppers-a foolish, deafeninir music to quick time which seemed the expression of the great luminous vibration. I had been walking in this open desert two hours when a cluster of white houses arose sud denly out of the dusty road before me. , It was what is called the relay of St. "Vincent. There were five or six houses; with long, low, red roofed barns, an empty watering trough in a clump of straggling fig trees, and at the end of the place stood two large inns looking at each, other from opposite sides of the road. , , There was something striking about these inns. .. . :s One was a large new. building, full of fife and noise. AH the doors were onen. The diligence was standing in front, from which they were unhitching the steaming horses. ' The passengers were climbing down to get a hasty drink in the short shadow thrown by the walls. The court was filled with mules, loaded carts and the drivers lying under the sheds awaiting fresh relays. From the inside could be heard cries, oaths, the pounding of fists on the tables, the exploding corks of lemonade bottles, the clinking of glasses, the noise of billiards and dominating all this tumult a joyous. ringing voice singing in a manner calcu lated to make the glasses tremble. The, inn opposite, on the contrary, was as sifent as If abandoned. "Weeds grew about the entrance; the blinds wereA bro ken; Upon the door a small branch, of with ered holly hung like an old plume; ; the" doorsteps were propped up with stone from the road. All was so poor, so pitifuL that It seemed a real charity to stop there for a glass of something. I entered. There was a long, deserted, mournful room, which the dazzling light from three great curtainless windows made more deserted and mournful still. Some limping tables, on which were scattered a few dusty glasses; a yellow sofa, an old counter, a broken down bil liard table, slept there in a heavy, deathly heat. And files, flies! Never had I seen so many on the ceiling, in the glasses, in bunches. When I opened the door, there was a buzzing and agitation of wings as if I had entered & beehive. , At the end of the room, in a window, a woman stood with her face against the glass, looking intently outside. I called twice: "Ho, hostess." She turned slowly and let me see a poor peasant's face, wrinkled, hollow, of the color of dirt, framed in a scarf of red lace, such as old women wear in villages with us. Nevertheless she was Hot an old woman. Tears had faded her. ' "What do you want?" she asked, wiping her eyes. , . "I want to sit down a moment and have something to drink." She looked at me very much astonished, without moving, as if .she had .not under stood. V " ' "This is not an inn, then?" ; : , , The woman sighed. ; " Yes, it is an inn if you like but why have you not gone opposite, like the others? It is much gayer" "It is too gay for me. I prefer to stay at your house." " And without waiting her response I seated myself before table. When she was very sure I was speaking seriously, she began to go and. com o with a bustling air, opening drawBr3, moving bottles, . wiping glasses, disturbing the flies-one felt that to wait upon this trav eler was an event. Now and then the unhappy woman would clasp her hands to 'her head' as thoueh sho despaired of keeping on her feet. . .- ' . - Then she went into an adjoining room. I could hear her there rattling great keys, turning the locks, fumbling in the bread box, gasping, dusting, washing glasses. From time to time there was a great sigh, a half choked sob. After a quarter of an hour of : house keeping I had before me a plate of sdried grapes, an old loaf of bread, hard as slate, and a bottle of wine. " "You are served," said the strange crea ture, and she turned quickly to take her place .at the window. While drinking I ' tried to make her talk. . ' ' People do not come here often, do they, my good woman?" 7 "Oh, no, monsieur. Never any one. When we had the only inn here, it was quite different. We had the stagecoach; game dinners in the wild duck season and teamsters all the year. But since our neighbors have come and established themselves we have lost every body. People would rather go on the opposite side. They find it too dull here. The fact is the house is not pleasant. I ain not beautiful. I have had fevers, and my two little ones are dead. Over there, on the contrary, they laush all the time. It is an Arle'sieune who keeps the inn, a handsome woman who wears lace and three strands of gold chain about her neck. The- driver of the diligence is her lover. With that there are several cajoling chambermaids. And then she has good, steady patronage! She has all the young people of Bezonces, of, Re dessan, of Jonquieres. Teamsters make a detour to pass her 'door. I I stay here all day without a customer." ; : : . She said this with a preoccupied, indif ferent voice, continuing to support her forehead against the window glass. There was evidently something in the opposite inn which absorbed her. i ' . All at once there was great excitement the other side of the road. The diligence moved away in the dust. One could hear the cracks of the whip and the tooting of the postilion's horn, the girls, standing at the door crying: - " Adiousias ! Adlousias !" And all over the same formidable voice singing again: "La belle Margoton." ' . . On hearing this voice the hostess shook from head to foot, and turning tome said "Do you hear that?" and then quite low: "That is my husband. Doesn't he sing well?" I looked at her, stupefied. "What? Your husband! He goes over there, he too?" , , Then with heartbroken, but gentle soft ness: ' . , "What would you have, monsieur? Men are made like that. They do not like to see crying, and I cry constantly since the death of my little ones. Then, it is so sad, 'his great ijarracks, where no one ever "omes Then, when he is too much bored, my poor Jose goes oppose, uu, . " fine voice, the Arle'sieune makes him rtng.

THEWIOYED BABIES: PRESIDENTS WHO TOOK SPECIAL DE ! ,., MGHTf .IN CHILDREN. I- Jefferson Wa Extravagantly Fond of Girl Babies His letters to His Dsmchter and . Grandchildren Lincoln Was a Big Play fellow With His Boys. ''s 1 Other presidents before Mr. Cleveland of course have rejoiced in babies. : With the exception of Washington, who, as. the paternal parent of the" whole country, may be said to have had the finest baby of them all, our great presidents have all been hap py fathers. And when we speak of our great presidents we refer to those who overtopped, the rest either by reason of their own personal greatness or by virtue of the exceptionally great events in our history with which they were associated. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Grant those four certainly are on the list. What other names ought to stand in the same rank with theirs we will not stop here to discuss. Of these famous four only the first was childless. : But Thomas Jefferson was a "babies' president. He was a confirmed baby wor shiper, and when he got through enjoying the delights of baby play as a father, he began .all over again and enjoyed them still more as a grandfather. The domestic side of Jefferson's life is one of the idyls of our history. Tender as a woman was the great,, strong, brainy man, the largest fig ure by all odds in the heroic period of in-' dependence winning and constitution mak ing.. Devoted to his wife and never quite reconciled to her early death, he had more than a father's love for his children. He was a dotard on babies, and- for the girl baby, child or grandchild, he had a fond ness that was extravagant. Seven children were born to Thomas Jefferson, all girls but one. They all died in childhood, sav ing one, the oldest, Martha, afterward Mrs. Randolph. When their mother died, in 1783, leaving him with three girls aged respectively 10 years,. 4 years and (the youngest) 4 months Thomas Jefferson; the man of whom we rarely think except as a splendid figure in public affairs, a giant intellectually and physically even in an age of giants, became, in Mrs. Ran dolph's words, "their chief nurse." He attended in person to their inoculation for the smallpox, and was loath to leave them to other hands when congress for the third time called on him ' to go to Europe . as a plenipotentiary. - ; - Wherever his busy life as a diplomat, statesman, party leader, vice president or president carried him, he always found time to scribble notes to his small chil dren and grandchildren notes that were full of child talk such as only a heart full of genuine child love could instruct the pen of man to write.. And as they grew his letters kept advancing in seriousness at an even pace with their intelligence. ; , It is a pity that Jefferson's letters to his children' and grandchildren have not been published by themselves, so arranged as to show their proper seqnenoe. Many of them are long and full of homely philosophy which might well furnish instructive and entertaining reading to the children of this and of all coming time. As models, to show fond fathers how to write and talk to their young children, especially, their girls, the charming epistles of the sage of Monticollo to his daughter Martha "my dear Patsey" are without any rivals in American literature. Queen Victoria has one of these remarkable letters of Jeffer son to his little daughter Martha when 11 years of age in her possession. It was giv en to her by the Jefferson family at .her own request when she was only Princess Victoria and herself quit a mere girl. One of Jefferson's granddaughters wrote this about him: "Our grandfather seemed to read our hearte, to see our Individual wishes, to be our good genius, 'to wave a fairy, wand to brighten our young lives by his goodness and his gifts." He romped with them like a child when -he was gray, fiddled for their dancing, invented games and pastimes for them and joined in all their sport. ; ' Abraham Linooin was as fond of his boys as Thomas Jefferson was of his girls. Dnlike Washington, tho stately, George, who had far more real majesty in his make up than the royal George, whose dominion he broke on this continent, we can easily think of "Father Abraham" rocking the cradle and trying to quiet or amuse the children. That pathetically sad face, all of whose portraits haunt you, after you have looked at them, with their mournful ly anxious expression, found its chief mo- tive to relaxation in the play he had with his little boys. He never governed them, but was just a sort pf fbig playfellow for them. People who were disposed to criti cise thought he let them do too much ax they pleased, but; being a child lover he could not help it.' ' - ; " - X Tho decorum of a cabinet meeting in the days when every cabinet meeting was a council of war, big with the fate of the Union armies and the Union itself, was often suspended for a few moments while little Tad ran in, climbed on to Father Abraham's knee and got a license to do something or other that was frisky and ir regular. So, too, the softest spot in Gen eral Grant's heart was the same his love for his children. Chary of speech to the world at large and reticent even with those individuals who had his confidence, the great commander was a merry tattler to his little ones. Those of them who sur vive him tell many charming stories of their childhood in which the most famous soldier of the ago figures, Uke Lincolaand Jefferson, as one of the child lovers' fra ternity.

He has his adherents everywhere and none has been more ardent in his peeAse than were the ancient Persians, who looked on him as something sacred, led him in the van of the army, had legends of the "beautiful creature saluting the sun and taught their children, as the no plus ultra of education, to draw the bow, to speak the truth, and to ride. In Greek mythology the chariot ol the sun was drawn by four white steeds, Eos (eastern), Aithon (burning), Bronte (thunder) and Astrape (lightning), and we all remember what success attended Phaeton's attempt to control them ! When Neptune and Minerva disputed about the yet unnamed Athens, they agreed that Whoever should produce the gift most useful to man should be counted victor in the strife. He struck the ground,' and the first horse appeared; she caused anoliva tree to grow, which, being considered the most useful article, won her cause for her. Greek, too, were the centaurs, half man, half horse; the mares of Diomedes, who fed on human flesh and whom Hercules captured, and Pegasus, the winged horse of the Muses, who sprang from the blood of Medusa. Nor should one overlook the notable horse of Troyl, Al Borak "the lightning" was the horse that conveyed Mohammed from eartn w me seveuwi heaven. It was milk white, with the wings of an eagle and a human face. The old Norsemen held that day and night had each a horse, that) of day being Skinfaxl (of the shining mane); that of night, Hrimfaxi (rime or frost mane). Odinpos Begged an eight footed steed, called Slep ner (the slippery), and the giant Heim grim was the happy owner of Guilfaxl (gold mane). " ' s Omens were derived from the neighing! of horses, and the eating of then? flesh was a religious rite, while a horse's head set on a pole was called a nlthlng post, and brought evil to the person toward whoni Its face was turned, the white horse still reigns as the badge of Kent and Hanover, and the "White Horse" in Berkshire must be fresh In the memory of all who have read of its "Scouring." ! In saintly legend Hippolytus is the patron saint of horses, and on his feast day, Aug. 16, they were led up for benediction in the church of Boyston, in Hertfordshire, Perhaps no other animal is so widely celebrated in fact and fiction, history and legend.

We were speaking of the failure of Gos-' hawk & Guldridgo. Goshawk & Guldridge were a firm of bankers in Hobblegate, where their name was a tower of credit. "Governments" might decline and greenbacks fluctuate, but Goshawk & Guldridge were always at par. i i : s $ They might have gone bail for v brace of millions without ever being asked to "jus-. tify." There was something in the very curve of Goshawk's nose and In the broad folds of Guldridge's vest that savored of solvency. . j "Have you heard the news?"; (s "What news?" ' " f ; " "Goshawk & Guldirdge" ' "For heaven's sake, speak!" "Smashed! debts a million assets nothing partners absconded!" Seth Dodge caught it in two directions. The loss of his own - money was - bad enough, but it was too provoking to see Kate Orville'Sj, on which he had long oast tender .glances, go the same luokless road. He fairly cursed old Orville's stupidity In trusting his niece's entire fortune in the very hands in which he had himself trust-: ed and lost the bulk of his own. . .- Seth had fallen in love with Kate at first sight of her grandfather's will,-which he had read' over for amusement in the pro bate office one day. x ' From that document he learned that she was heiress to a cool hundred thousand, in her own right, which her uncle, Walter Orville, was appointed trustee to keep till her marriage or majority. , The money, Seth knew, was snug in the vault of Gos hawk & Guldridge. ' , . i - He lost no time in declaring the stato of his feelings, which Uncle Walter -seemed to reciprocate if Kate didn't We won't say positively that Archie Warham had anything to do with" the coolness of Seth'S reception on her part. Apparently he hadn't, for when Seth began his visits Archie's suddenly ceased, and Kate tossed her pretty head and didn't seem to care. What with Uncle Walter's backing, his own perseverance and Archie Warham's demoralized retreat, Seth felt his chances Were by no means desperate. .; He could afford to wait. He was not an impatient lover. His own finances were easy, and as long as Kate's money was se cure there was no heed of haste. But a terrible awakening came that day when men rushed to and fro, startling each other with the announcement: - "Goshawk & Guldridge have failedl" With the depletion of his own pocket de parted all hope of its repletion from Kate's. To withdraw before acceptance a matri monial offer, the " consideration " of which, In legal parlance, had failed struck him as the first thbag to be done under the cir cumstances, and for that purpose Seth. presented himself without delay before Uncle Walter, whom he found at his office .looking as serene as if nothing had hap--pened the imperturbable old stoic! - ' "I suppose you've heard the news?" he began. . Uncle Walter had heard it. But Seth never shirked a duty to him self. With much circumlocution and by ways that were indirect he managed at last to make himself understood by Uncle Wal ter. The old gentleman didn't seem much taken aback. There was a touch of con tempt In his tone as ho thanked his visitor for the very unnecessary pains he had tak en, and when he bowed Seth out the latter felt considerably lower than before he en tered. ; ; ; 'X . . Uncle Walter got home early that even-, lng. If he was angry at finding Archie Warham"'there, he didn't show it. Kate looked as happy as though she hadn't lost a penny, but had found instead a treasure worth all the world. "Don't mind it, uncle," she- cried. "You see I don't; and I've heard all about y . ' : i ' J.:.,' : -And I suppose you've heard it too?" said Uncle Walter, turning sharply on Archie as if suspecting that he, too, had come to recant, j "Now don't be angry, uncle, dear," coaxed Kate. "I'd have been glad to mar ry Seth to please you, but". . "Confound Seth Dodge" "But, you soejl couldn't love him," Kate continued, "and I I did love Archie, and and" i ! 1 ; Uncle Walter didn't break out in a pas sion, and that encouraged Kate to go on. "And Archie has asked me to be his, without any money, and and I've prom ised, and he says you shall live with us." It was a quiet little wedding, that of Archie and Kate. It came off one bright orning, while all Hobblegate was too much agog with the recent financial shoc to think of anything else. fx. When Kate kissed Uncle Walter good by, before starting on her unpretending wed ding toiir,' the old gentleman slipped a folded paper into her hand. She- opened it with an exclamation of surprise. It was a check on one of the first city banks for $100,000! ; "You see, " said Uncle Walter, "I'd a lurking suspicion that all wasn't right with those scamps, and so checked out . your money three days before they failed. ' About the' same time another wedding took place. Seth Dodge kept his losses to himself, and without loss of time offered his heart and hand to Miss Elvira Fenoose. She accepted both at sight'. ' "Mi&s Elvira was a maiden of forty odd au tumns and not to be called ..handsome. Seth knew her to be the possessor of a goodly batch.of five-twenties, from which she de rived a handsome income by cutting off the coupons Tho morning after the. wedding Seth hinted delicately, of course that circum stances over which .he had no control had left him a little short of cash at present in fact, and not to put too fine a point upon it, deucedly hard up. Elvira stopped his mouth with kisses, edging in between them: . ''Never mind, hubby, dear. Why, that rascally Goshawk & Guldridgo ran off ,with all of my bonds, but it doesn't worry me a bit, now that I've got you, you know. New York Press. A PHILOSOPHICAL HUSBAND. How He Got Square Wltb. the Grocer Who . Sold Dad Goods. There is a grocer in the NintHward whose one aim is underselling the trade, That he does this in many instances is made plain by a comparison of his prices' with those of other grocers in the vicinity. Bis stock is not nice to look at, and much of it appears to be shopworn. It is said that he buys up job lots from fire sales, goods damaged in transit and consign ments that fail to come up to expectations. However that may be, a woman bought a can of tomatoes from him, and when she took it home . and opened it the con tents were unfit for use. She brought it right back and requested that it be ex changed. The grocer refused to listen to this proposition, and when the woman's husband came home she told him all about it. -The next day the grocer was surprised by a visit from the food inspectors. They made a raid on his canned goods, and after -their departure the grocer could not have given the woman a similar can in ex change, even had he been willing to do so. ; The news of the raid attracted quite a crowd, but no one enjoyed it so much as the woman's husband, who arrived early on the scene and was last to leave. When the inspectors' wagons drove off, the man entered the store, and addressing the gro cer rubbed It in after this fashion : "My wife bought a can of tomatoes Here yesterday. They were bad, and when she asked you to exchange them you refused. When I came home and heard about it, I notified the authorities. I see they have just beep here an d cleaned out all your bad stock ; so whatever you have left must be fit to eat. -Let mo have a can of tomatoes, please. ' ' New York World. How Leaf Breathes.

Profitable Ventriloquism. Brewster tells of a master in his art, Louis Brabant, a valet de chambre to Francis I, whose suit was rejected by the parents of a beautiful and well dowered girl wiik whom he was in love. He called on the mother, after the death of the father, again to. urge his suit, and while he was present she heard the voice of her deceased husband express ing remorse for having rejected - Louis Brabant, and conjuring her to give im mediate consent to the "betrothal Frightened, she consented. Brabant, deeming it desirable to behave liberally In the marriage agreements, but not having much cash at command, resolved to try whether hra ventriloquism would be as efficacious with a money lending banker as it had been with the widow. " Calling; on the old usurer at Lyons, he managed that the subject should turn upon the subject of demons, spec ters, and jpurgatory. Suddenly was heard the voice of the usurer's ; father, complaining of the horrible sufferings he was enduring in purgatory, and say ing that there was no way of obtaining alleviation except by the usurer advanc ing money to the visitor, for the sake of ransoming Christians from the hands of the Turks,-,. The usurer was terrified, but too much in love with his gold to yield at once. , i Brabant went next day and resumed the conversation, when shortly were heard the voices of a host of dead rela-: tives, all telling the same terrible story and all pointing out the only way of ob taining relief. The 'usurer could resist no longer. He placed 10,000 crowns in the hands of the unsuspected ventrilo quist, who of course forgot to pay it over for the ransom of Christians either in Turkey or anywhere else.
