The animal refused. to. be led, and then the man made several ineffectual attempts to; mount the refractory creature. At that moment the Chief Jus tice came along, and, seeing the man's difficulty, extended his hand as a mounting block. The man put his foot in the hand and mounted upon the horse's back, and the Chief Jus tice passed on. His courtesy made his man ners good, but it did not soften his sense of justice. A lawyer tells this anecdote : 'lT had once to appear before him in Chambers on behalf of a charming client who had some propert7, but would not pa' her debts. The case was heard in his own room, and he was courtes7 itself. He stood when she entered. I think she drop ped her handkerchief, and he left his seat to pick it up.

At the battle of Malate, July 31st, Jesse Noss was killed. He left a young widow in Pennsyl vania and a baby girl that he had never seen. Admiral Dew ey wrote the widow the follow ing letter : Olympia, Flagship, Manila, Oct. 23, 1898: My Dear Mrs. Noss : I wish to express to 3011 my deepest sympathy. Itjnust lessen your sorrow somewhat to know that your young hus band fell fighting bravely for his country, the noblest death a man can know. From the Olympia I watched the fight that fearful night and wonder ed how manv American homes would be saddened by the mar tyrdom suffered by our brave men, and my sympathy went out to each and every one of them. Your loss has been sadder than the others, and I am una ble to express the sorrow I feel for yon. Tears came to ray eyes as I read the sad story of the father who never saw his child, and then the loss of all that was left to the brave moth er. It is hard sometimes to be lieve, but our heavenly Father, in his infinite goodness always does things for the best, and some day father, mother, and daughter will be joined never again to b parted. With my tenderest sympathy,, believe hie your sincere friend. Gi:oit;i; Dkwky.

It will do the sorrowing good and build up your own soul. When ever the clouds shutout he sun and make life dark to your neighbor, go lift aside the cur tain if possible and Jet the sun light in.
