The faithful heart through time and tears
Still keeps its course nor dreams of veering;
The heaviest billows of the years
But mark tho haven that is nearing;
Tbe waves may dash and thunders crash,
Tet from them "twill more firmness borrow.
The peal and roar but point the shore
Of that blest Land of the To-morrow.
Then when the toilsome journey's done.
And Death has crowned his faith's endeavor.
He rests within the haven won.
Where Peace her scepter sways forever*
No more the years with strife and tear-
lb him can bring a thought of sorrow,
For griefs ___ face commands no place
Within the Land of the To-morrow.

MONMGRIN  REVENGE.
Sweet la vengeance to the heart of a
Montenegrin, and where the outlying
countries stretch away to the gleaming
blue sea, there also are hearts to whom
vengeance is sweet!
Draghot Dragho Stilich! where is he
bow? He who was blest with wife and
child and wealth; whose flocks of sheep
with twisted horns roamed the vales of
Montenegro,. And where, too, is Arnold
Micnesky, for whom, in vast plantations,
tho plum trees were bearing fruit to enrich his coffers, and whose whit* mulberries were thick in foliage? Listen! It is
a casino at Xalassi Mali and Dragho and
Arnold are quarreling hotly. Word leads
to words, and rage mounts high in both
their breasts. All, hold yonr breath!
What deed is this? Arnold draws hia
dagger and Dragho, smitten, falls to the
earth murmuring "Vengeance."
Sweet is vengeance to the heart of a
Montenegrin!
And now who is this who comes, weeping, to elaim the dead? Jane—Jane
Stilich, the widow. And the neighbors
lift the body in their arms and carry him
where the Are is smoldering upon his
own hearth and lay him on the mat,
where the dying flames send a strange
glow npon the pallid cheek and light np
his wide open eyes. What is the meaning
of ___t significant gaze from those staring eyes? The priest wbo comes with
holy water to bless the dead is strangely
troubled. Only Jane understands, and
When they have placed beside him his
weapons and his pipe, she goes forth to
seek the Sardar. The hour glass marks 4
o'clock.
Behold, it is the widow who enters the
house of ihe Sardar. She speaks: "Hear
me, oh friend! My son is young An ear
of corn is the heaviest sword his little
hand can hold, and I have no brothers.
You are rich in brothers, and four sons
wbo bear yonr nafta are of an age to
carry arms. You were Dragbo's friend,
punish bis murderer." And Jane falls
upon her knees at the Sardar's feet. He
fixes his gaze upon her and replies:
"But, look you, Dragho Stilich has been
no more my friend since last year's Christ
mas feast was held, when, rich in flocks,
he refused to give me four sheepskins to
clothe my four brave sons. Bat yoa—yon
iete fair end. comely—my sons and I will
seiirch the country tor the murderer, and
then yoa shall give yourself as wife to
the Sardar." Jane's eyes blaze with fury,
and she departs. All night long Jane is
weeping over the body of bar lost husband, and Dragho gazes steadfastly before him with ever open eyes.
Sweet is vengeance to the heart of a
Montenegrin!
The skies are bright witb the light of
another day. Far and near hurries the
tortured widow, Among tha friends of
Dragho she looks in vain for one wbo will
arm himself and seek the fugitive. With
one accord tbey answer, "Ah, bnt Arnold,
too, has always been our good friend."
And then, with despair in ber soul, Jan*
turns bar steps toward the bouse of the
Sardar.    "It is well—I accept the com-
tSfmVf
The eyes of theold Sardar flash beneath
their hoary brows; be rubs his -wrinkled
palms tog§y>er in satisfaction. And
Jans, once more, fat she alone in" he.
widowed home; once more she weeps
over her dead; then bending low, she
whispers in his ear, and lot the open eyes
elose in quiet rest and Jane weeps on, and
the hour glass marks 4 o'clock.
"Awake—hasten, my sons—let ns prepare powder and ball and rations for tb*
days we shall wander far from our home.
Where are the hunting knives? Tighten
yonr belts that the gnrrine may closely
protect yonr chests; bring forth the deer
skin robes, that the dews and showers of
night may not destroy eur arms aud onr
stores. Arnold Mienesky has flown tothe
mountain heights, and we go to take his
life, for s% it not ho who has killed Dragho,
onr dearest friend?"
Skillful is he and wary—the old sardar,
and soon the fugitive shall feel the danger that is near him. The sardar discovers his track, and on the first day they
meet one of the four brave sons falls
dead—and wben tbe second day breaks,
behold another son is slain, The sardar
hesitates and questions his course, Arnold, tbe murderer, bethinks him if ft
would not be well to surrender, The
priest seeks the, widow and urges reconciliation. With fury and passionate
words she refuses, and as sho speaks the
sand falls and the glass marks 4 o'clock.
Sweet is vengeance to the heart of a
Montenegrin!
"She refuses In wrath," is whispered
through the streets of Xalassi Mali—but
the people, still hoping, send to tbe lord
bishop a hundred sequins—the price of a
head. With the lord bishop rests the
charge of culling a tribunal of reconciliation. In the great church all is prepared
for the mass of peace. Ring out, O bells,
for the blessed mass of reconciliation, ana
ring for tbe twelve young mothers who
come, carrying their babes in their arms,
to knock at the widow's door. "Jane,
Jane, open the door to us—we bring gold
and 'broidered kerchiefs." But no response comes from that close fastened
door.
"Jane, our good neighbor Jane, in the
the name of onr children we ask forgiveness, Arnold repents. It was a dispute.
Maliec there was none. It was the dagger
wbicb slew Dragho. The dagger alone is
guilty—only listen, the priest wfll come
to shatter it and to pronounce it accursed.
Open the door, Jane, open tons." But
Jane Stilich is silent and relentless. She
has sworn an oath to ber dead, and woe
befall him wbo breaks his oath.
Sweet is vengeance to the heart of a
Montenegrin!
Dragho's murderer wanders once more
through the- forest's depths, This time,
supported by his two brothers and by the
two sons whom death has not stolen
away, the aged ___-__■ again essays the
capture. Fear seizes upon Arnold; to fly
or to search a place of hiding,, in both
larks danger. Enve'oped by the dark
shades of night, wild beasts beset his way,
and his breast is filled with terror—his
days are days of hurrying, fearful flight
from his memories. The aged sardar
sounds a note of triumph! Arnold abandons his defense. Ho surrenders-—he is
tbe sardat.. captive. And the vision
arises before the Sard*! of Jane—the fair
widow waiting for bit-1 in her lonely home.
And now behold the victorious pi*us*ession
that enters Xalassi-Mali. Men, women,
and the children In the streets, follow in
tbe train of ihe Sardar and his two bravo
sons, tbe prisoner Arnold Mienesky in
their midst.
From afar the drone of the pipes and
tho noise pf many feet reaches Jane, and
sends a thrill to her heart as she reads in
the din the announcement that tbe t :i t dar
bos returned. No time .or thought. She
opens ber coffers and takes out the rich
marriage robe which has lain untouched
since tbe joyful day that saw her Dragho's
bride. Its folds shake ont the scents of
lavender and aspen—a, How beautiful
she is in this bright garb. Her fingers

Scenes at the English Derby.
Ihere were gaunt, lean, hungry
wretches who hung about the coaclies
and snapped at every morsel of food that
was dropped from these coaches with the
avidity and voracity of hungry dogs.
There was no bone, however clean it
had been picked, that had fallen to the
ground, that was not immediately struggled for by two or three men. lt
poisoned every mouthful I took to seo
such abject hunger upon every side
watching the fortunate people who had
—what was unknown to them—plenty
of food to eat.
I gave two boys who stood near me
the best part of my lunch, and tlie way
that they bolted everything that was
handed to them showed that they wero
actually suffering from hunger. My attention was first attracted to them by
their friendship for each other. Wben
one would find a bone or scrap he would
invariably divide it with the other. It
was a close partnership in a mad hunt
for food. Everything that I handed
down to either one or tbe other was at
once scrupulously divided. It was tbe
first time I had ever been confronted
with evidence of this tremendous English poverty which I have heard so much
about among certain classes. This increasing and terrible poverty must account for the increasing emigration.
There was nothing, I was told by aa
English gentleman present, to give a better idea of the unnatural relation of
things in England than tbis very picture
represented today. Here was one class
on the top of carriages spending money
with a lavish hand, apparently rich and
certainly careless, having everything
that plenty of money could give, and tbe
other class actually suffering the pangs
of want. Tlie rich in England are very
rich and tlie poor are poorer than in any
country in continental Europe.—T. C.

BADGER BAITING OUT WEST.
A Difflenlt Problem Solved.
The problem of bow to bore an eight
inch hole with a tool that must first pass
through a six inch opening has been
solved ia California, papers of that state
say. A well at Mare Island is now down
1,300 feet, and the contract depth of
1,500 feet will be reached in a few
weeks. In sinking this well, which is
through rock for a long distance, only one
line of casing has been used, and tho apparently impossible undertaking of drilling a hole larger than the pipe through
which the drill is'lowered has been accomplished. In fact, a drill going down
through a six inch casing can drill an
eight inch hole, so that one size of casing
can be run from the top to tlie bottom of
tlie well. The drill in question is simple
in principle, and in practical use lias been
found to do the work expected of it.
In general terms the drill is composed
of three long pieces, the middle one of
which is movable. When about to be
lowered in the casing the middle piece is
slipped from between the two side pieces,
enabling them to come together, so that,
for instance, they can readily go down a
six inch hole. As soon as the end of .the
casing is passed, however, the 4ia~T*ral
spring of the sides allow the middle piece
to resume its place, and there is formed a
solid tool with an eight inch cutting edge.

The Mistress of the White House.
The mistress of the White House
stands in a position more trying by far
than that of any crowned sovereign in
Europe. Everything and anything is
expected of her. She must unite all the
qualities that go to make up a thorough
lady; she must pass the ordeal of hours
of what may be called public servitude
without betraying the least fatigue or in-
hospitality, whether her guests at a
crowded levee come from the wild woods
or from the most cosmopolitan center;
she must understand the art of informal
receptions—must be, like foreign royalties, "gracious," "condescending" and
•'amiable," and at the same time be
thoroughly democratic; otherwise she
will be severely handled by all tbe
' 'sovereign people'' who constitute themselves ber critics. She has not the refuge
of seclusion or of divine right which
belongs to a queen; and" yet her very
critics demand from her as much as
though she had been born to tlie purple
and received the training necessary for
the duties of her station.—Lippincott'e

Luminous Faint in Theatres.
Herr Stehle, the government inspector
of the Boyal Bavarian Court theatre, lias
given high testimony to the use of luminous paint as a safeguard against panic in
theatres. Any explosion or disaster with
gas leaves the exit passage of the theatre
in total darkness, and even if additional
oil lamps were used, they would probably
be extinguished by the air concussion.
In the above named theatre inscriptions
in luminous paint are suspended over tlie
exit passages, which direct the audience
to '"the way oat" (Ausgang). "These
placards, in spite of being exposed to the
very poor light of the corridors in the
daytime and the gaslight in the evening,
are so luminous after the gas has been
turned out that any one can gain the
stairs in each corridor without difficulty."
The Lancet says the precaution is so simple and inexpensive that we wonder it is
not immediately adopted in all theatres.
Indeed, we see no reason why its use
should not be made compulsory. Surely
some provision of the kind might be included in the theatres bill now before
parliament,—Iron.*
A Favorite Sport ta Southern California
—The Game Caught *__ppin„.
The favorite sport in northern California
and over the entiro state is coursing with
greyhounds. Some of the finest dogs in
the world are owned in this state, and eo
finely are tbey trained and bred that tha
jackrabbit, one of tho swiftest of its kind,
has Uttle chance of escape from them.
The evolutions of pursued and pursuers
are of the greatest interest. The badger,
while common, is rarely met with, and
not one Calif ornian in a thousand lias
seen {one alive in the open country,
though probably thousands have fallen
into badger holes. In appearances the
animal resembles a short, flattened out
bear. Its colors are black and white,
attractively arranged, so that it presents
a striking and conspicuous appearance.
Its mouth is armed with a powerful
array of teeth, and in the arrangement
of the jaw we find a peculiarity not
found in any other mammal, so that it
is almost impossible to dislocate it,
which explains the bulldog like tenacity
of tbe animal's grip. In its habits the
badger is quiet and harmless, remaining
in its burrow during the day time, and
roaming around at night in search of
food.
In olden times in England, badger baiting consisted in capturing the animal,
placing it in a depression in the ground,
and then setting the dogs upon it. The
dog that succeeded in taking it out and
killing it was supposed to be the victor,
though all undoubtedly aided in wearing
it out. In southern California the carious animal is occasionally found out of
its burrow during the day, and will afford fine sport to riders who endeavor to
capture it by the aid of dogs. A robust
badger is a match for half a dozen ordinary greyhounds, hence the fight is not
so onesided ns might be imagined.
One morning just as the sun was riding
over the Arizona desert and starting the
night shadows in the deep canyons of the
Sierra Madres, a party of horsemen rode
over the mesa, literally wading through
tho flowers. A pack of greyhounds followed, while a number of foxhounds ran
here and there breaking out bow and
then into fitful intonations as a rabbit
trail was crossed. Finally a great commotion is heard in a clump of eucalyptus
trees; a rush is made, the horsemen surrounding the spot where the hounds are
uttering cries that tell of game in
the toils. For a moment nothing
is seen; then a black and white
furry object, as big as some of the
dogs, appeal- in the midst of them;
now on its back, snapping viciously; now
clinging to a dog with a vice like grip,
and tearing with its powerful claws. Tbe
badger had been caught napping, and was
pounced upon by the dogs while lying in
a root holo, where some one had taken
up a eucalyptus. In this fortification the
animal had an advantage which it was
not slow to follow up, and as the excited
dogs fell or rolled in upon it they were
bitten, torn and scratched with a spirit
that told of considerable reserve power
on the part of the animal.
Good fox hounds are rare in southern
California, and as there were several in
the pack taking their punishment too
well to suit their owners, the latter made
on attempt to close in on the badger; but
the dogs, wild with rage, crowded on,
and in a moment the unfortunate beast
was under a heap of hounds. The dogs
were hauled off and thrown aside, beaten
and yelled at, and finally the horses were
driven among them, and all Oat remained of the badger was hauled out.
The animal weighed thirty pounds, ami
its powerful claws told the story of its
staying powers. .The skin was saved as
a trophy and afterward made into a stool.

Her Idea of a not Bath.
A motherly looking old female with
gray hair, solid ankles, a scarcity of
teeth and a basket in her hand, recently
paid a shilling for a hot bath at a Brighton establishment. She remained in two
and a half hours, and as she paid no attention whatever to the pathetic appeals
of the attendant that person at last pat
her head in at the door. She found her
customer wasliing a mangy looking poodle
ia the bath, the dog having evidently
been smuggled ia in the basket, whilo
two eggs were cooking in a bowl under
the hot water tap, some tea was being
brewed, and a plate, knife and fork,_o__e
bread, cheese and other victuals were
laid out on the window sill. The attendant tried to explain that the place waa
not a restaurant or dog purifying establishment, but her ears were suddenly
boxed, and the customer only departed
upon being threatened with the police.—

Influence of Dress.
It is astonishing how much influence
dress has on one's feelings. In society,
any woman feels at ease if she is conscious that ber costume is proper and becoming. And, in the dramatic art, dress
has a great influence on the actress. Tlie
woman who is portraying the character of
a society belle will feel the part better if
her wardrobe is expensive and' fashionable. And so in other parts. When she
plays the part of a poor girl, her poverty
of attire will serve to remind her of her
imaginary sufferings and help her in giving proper expression to them. Could
Lady Gay Spanker describe that hunting
scene as enthusiastically as she does if
she wore a short lawn dress, instead of a
riding habit? No; believe me, that with
most actresses the costume of the character has much to do with awakening professional enthusiasm.—Cora Tanner Sinn

A   LAND   OF  HOLIDAY-
HOW l-njflisli Workingmen Enjoy Respite
from Labor on Derby Day.
There are not many holidays in England.   That is to say, there are not as
many as there are days in the year, or
bristles in a pig's back.    But there are
some holidays, just the same.    The British holiday is a great institution.   It enables the horny handed sons of toil to say
they will not do any work, and that is a
privilege which BO English workingman
ever lets pass unheeded.    If the weather
is fine on his holiday the English workman goes out into the  country,   rolls
around on the grass and gets drunk.    If
it is rainy, he stays in the eity and gets
______ just the same.    Drink is the one
solid standby of the honest laboring man
over here.
Do you think there is money enough in
the world to make the average run of
people over here really work on Saturday
afternoons or other holidays? I don't, at
any rate. I had a shorthand writer
around here for a couple of days last
week. He was all right till the holiday
struck in, and from that moment he was
as lost to me as though he had fallen
overboard in midocean with a 200 pound
shot at his heels. Offers of extra pay
bad no weight at aU with him, and ho
was deaf alike to prayers, entreaties and
sneers. He wanted his holiday, and that
settled it. That is the way it runs, all
along tlie line. A tailor promised me a
suit of clothes last w»eek. They didn't
come, but the tailor did. He was full of
apologies and garlic. He told me I could
not have iny garments for several days.
I asked him why not, and he responded
with tears that it was a race week, and
nothing on earth would induce the men
to work. They had all gone to tlie races,
he went on, and they probably wouldn't
sober ap for at least three or four days to
come.
This passion for racing in England is
the most amazing tiling one comes in
contact with. At the Derby there were
fully a half million people. Two-thirds
of them, at least, were recruited from the
very .lowest class. I suppose at least
5.000 men actually walked from London
to Epsom and back, a round distance of
forty miles, in order to see the racing, to
which they had barely money enough to
purchase an entrance. Around oar coach
as it stood drawn up beside tbe track
there were always half a dozen wretches
who scrambled on the ground for possession of tho chicken bones recently thrown
aside by the members of our party during
luncheon. The sight would have stirred
one's pity but for the reflection that if
the hungry fellows had remained at home
and fed themselves on the few shillings it
cost them to see the race, there would
not have been the slightest necessity for
their wolf like wrestles for bones and
scraps. What the mining stoek craze
used to be in San Francisco, the mania
for racing is in England. Scullions,
cooks, messenger boys, hod carriers, and
everybody else, of high or low degree,
deny .themselves the comforts and in
many cases tho necessities of life, in order
to have a few shillings on their favorites.
Coming home from Epsom on Derby
day is an experience which as a usual
thing one is not apt to forget. That is
the one day of all the year when the
lower orders are permitted by tacit agreement to do about what they Uke to the
upper orders. The consequence is that
tho upper orders have a lively time of it.
The men and women who walk along tho
roadside, or ride in omnibuses and other
cheap conveyances, are supplied with little squirt guns and pea shooters, and
they send water and peas with great
fluency at the persons of high estate who
occupy the coaches and other vehicles indicative of jn*o3perity. Sometimes, in-
-_eed, they cast I—nlfiil i of powdered
ochre all over those whom they are thus
permitted to take liberties with. The result is apt to be disastrous to good clothes
and tender tempers. The atmosphero is
thick with dust raised by countless vehicles, and wherever a stream of water
alights there immediately follows a great
blotch that is neither pretty nor pacifying.
"•The best workmen I have in my employ," said an extensive manufacturer
the other day, "rarely turn op from Saturday noon until Wednesday morning.
From that time oat they work hard and
long until the next Saturday at noon,
when off they go again for another half
week. Within their working time they
manage to earn enough money to keep
them going three or four days, and during that period tbe~s* simply will not bo
induced to work. Of course wo do have
thrifty, steady workers on this side of
the water, but I do not think thero are
on many of them as ia America. You
are a strictly business nation over there,
while we go in for about so much j ■!:*•*
to every day's work. Much more Liiua
half the poor condition of English working classes is due solely to the workers
themselves. .If they stuck to their tasks
six solid days in the week and took fewer
holidays, as your laborers do ' in the
United States, they would find it considerably easier to make ends meet. But
they won't, and that is the end of it."
lt is rather a sneer on the part of
English folks that we Americans are a
"strictly business" people, and the feeling extends from the highest to the lowest classes. The rich poke fun at oar
solid men far not enjoying Ufe to a
greater extent, and the working people
think we aro not civilized up to the point
of taking a little play witb our labor.
Maybe we are not. But the workingmen
and women of America Uve better, have
pleasauter houses, and find their tables
better supplied and their bodies better
clothed a thousand fold than the beings
wbo occupy similar walks of life over
here.—Leander Richardson in New York

Guides for Female Visitors.
Ia tbe line of obtaining a living by
novel work is the ease of a young woman
whom I occasionally meet in uptown
hotels. She has a card, in the corner of
which is the inscribed statement that she
is prepared "to personally conduct" female visitors in New York to places of
amusement, on shopping tours or sightseeing about the city. A great many
women come to New York in the course
of a year, the wives of prominent and
wealthy persons, who require the assist-
ance or attendance of some one to direct
them about the city. The young woman
pf whom I speak has been so successful
in securing the patronage of these visitors
that her income ia (3,000 or $4,000 a
year. Some of the larger shops have discovered that her influence with shoppers
it of value to them, and pay her a commission upon sales to customers she brings
to them.—Chicago Tribune.
Bernhardt and the Dressmaker.
Bernhardt never had a corset. She has
never fastened a pair of stays around her
in her life, which accounts for her suppleness and inimitable grace, tor one
reason she has always been so thin that
there has been no need for corsets to confine her into a size small enough for her
gowns. When she goes to the dressmakers she wears a smooth, but not tight
waist of heavy white linen, which the
dressmaker fills oot ia hoUow places witb
a few folds of cotton batting, fitting the
waist of tbe gown over it, Bnt this is
only worn far smoothness and not to reduce her waist. On the stage she does
not wear even tbat, which accounts for
ber long, smooth strides and the ease of
her poses, that rather melt and dissolve
into each other than change,—New York

Simple Hemedy for Cancer.
Dr. Arthur Stradling writes The London Lancet of May 28 that he has apparently discovered a simple remedy for arresting cancerous growth. It is dried
carbonate of lime, to which is added two
and one-half per cent, of the phosphate,
to imitate the product of oyster shells as
much aa possible. Of this the patient
takes as much as can be heaped up on a
sixpence (about the size of a 10-cent piece)
three times a day, in a dessert spoonful
of milk. After nineteen months, in the
case of his patient, the growth of the tumor was iindoubtedly arrested.—Chicago
Times.
Stellar Influence on Climate.
In a paper to the Liverpool Astronomical society, Mr, W. H. S. Monck suggested lately that the puzzling climatic
variations recorded by tbe rocks may
have been produced by the near approach
to the earth of intensely hot stars. This
may have been due to tbe traveling of
the star itself, or to the motion of the
solar system in space. Moving with the
earth's own rate, a celestial body would
traverse in 50,000,000 years the distance
separating our globe from the most remote of the 70,000,000 stars visible in
tbe most powerful telescopes, making it
possible that, witb suitable proper motions, any or every star known may have
visited the solar system during the period
commonly assumed by geologists to have
elapsed since the first dawn of life. Intensely hot stars may have added materially ta tae earth's heat without coming
sufficiently near to greatly derange the
planetary orbits.—Arkansaw Traveler,

AN   INCOME  FROM   BEGGING.
. "Professional" Who Solicits Charitable
Subscriptions for a Commission.
In one of the handsomest flats in New
York resides a man who is a professional
beggar. By foUowing this occupation h*"*
has an income of §10,000 per year. Ho
goes into good society and is one of the
greatest wits and practical jokers in
town, ao that his company is much
sought after. He does not go prowling
about the streets, however, begging a
quarter or whatever ho can get. He
would disdain to accept less than $100,
stiU ho manages to collect $50,000 every
year, Ho used to bo a drummer for
one of the largest dry goods houses here,
and an exceUent one he was, too, but he
found he could make more money begging. He never asks money from any
one but rich people; and I believe that if
any other kind of people wero to offer
him money he would refuse it. He does
not, however, beg directly for himself,
but for the New York Children's home.
The head of the dry goods firm with
which he was formerly engaged is tho
president of this institution, and, knowing that his salesman was noted for his
cheek, he asked him one day during a
dull season if he wonld circulate among
the millionaires and get up subscriptions
for the maintenance of the institution.
Ho agreed, and the first day he started
out lie coUected moro than it was expected he could do in a w_ek. The result was that he was offered a certain
percentage of what he coUected, and he
found that it would pay him to keep at it
nil the time.
He says at first it was very trying work,
but now he has it so systematized that on
tho whole he rather likes the business,
aside from what money there is in it. "My
experience," he said, "shows me that tho
average New York millionaire is a much
more liberal man than the puplic supposes.
The only difficulty is in seeing these men
and presenting your claims. I worked six
months before I was able to see Jay Gould.
During that time I went to his office on an
average of twice a day, and my efforts
were in vain.
"KnaUy, I caught him on an elevated
train, and, seating myself beside bim, ho
was obUged to listen to me. I asked him
for $500. He told me to caU on him the
next day and ho would give me his check
for the amount. I went to his office, but,
notwithstanding I stated what had passed
between the millionaire and myself, I was
refused admittance to his private room. I
then made up my mind that Mr. Gould had
thrown mc off, but I was determined to
watch him again. I found out where ho
kept his private bank account and got a
check on that institution, which I JiUed
out for $500. A month afterward I ran
across Mr. Gould again in tae Windsor
hotel. He did not remember me, bnt I
recaUod our conversation, and he again
told me to caU at his office, but I replied
by presenting him tho check and telling
bim it would not take a moment to put*
liis signature to it, and he did. Since
then Mr. Gould has every year renewed'
his subscription without any difficulty,
and I really believe it gives him pleasarp
to do so. Since then I have got to know
him, and the pubUc would be surprised if
it knew the amount he gives away each
year in charity in this _nostentati^>_3
manner.
"I had still greater difficulty in secur- '
ing a subscription from the late William
H. VanderbUt. I knew very weU that if
I could talk with Mr. VanderbUt tht-re
would be no trouble about getting him to
give me a subscription, and, after innumerable calls upon him without success.
I discovered that be was in the habit of
having his tador send a man to measure
him at his house for a suit of clothes. I ■
went one night to the mansion and represented myself as a tailor, and ia this
way was ushered into Mr. Vanderbilt'a
presence. After exchanging greetings I
said*. ""    '^j__s-j_1 -   '
" 'Mr. VanttcrbUt, in order to get to eea
you I have lied; but I have done it in behalf of charity. Instead ot sailing amL-
measuring you for a suit of clothes I
have come to measure your generosity ia
behalf of a most worthy institution.'
"The millionaire was very angry al
first and started to caU his valet and
have him show me to the door, but I impeded his exit and kept on talking, and
before I got through I had Mr. Vander-
bUt's check far a neat sum, besides taking a glass, of wine and a cigar witb him,
Up to the time of his death ho always renewed his suljscription, and his sons now
do it, for him.
"The easiest of the rniUionaires to get

R, P. Flower, but his warm hearted generosity became so well known that tho
man was actuaUy persecuted. He is so
