8T. CYPRIAN’S CHURCH. COLORED CATHOLICS Dedication of St. Cyprian Parish Church in East Washington. CARDINAL GIBBONS WILL OFFICIATE The Rapid Progress of This Active, Vigorous Parish. BISHOP O’SULLIVAN HERE ‘The colored Roman Catholics residing in the parishes of St. Peter’s and St. Joseph's Churches in East Washington—and there are fully 2,000 of them—now have a church home which is one of the handsomest edi- fices in this city. St. Cyprian is the name of the newly organized parish, which has heretofore been called St. Benedict's, but not until it was decided to build a new church was the parish named by the car- inal. This new structure is situated on the northwest corner of 13th and C streets southeast, and will be formally dedicated to the worship of God tomorrow morning. Rev. James R. Matthews, pastor of the morning services will begin at 10 when Cardinal Gibbons will dedi- church to religious uses. Follow- Bishop O'Sullivan of Mobile, Aia., formerly stationed at St. Peter's in this city, will sing the pontifical mass, and Dr. O'Gorman of the Catholic University will preach the sermon. It was expected that Bishop Keane would per- form this last part of the ceremonies, but owing to indisposition he found he would be unable to attend, and Dr. O'Gorman was selected in his stead. Miss Herbert, who presides at the organ, will have charge of music, which will be especially fine on occasion. the this, was FJ ho | HH there will be no general turning out colored Catholic societies tomorrow, of the members of these organizations attend the services and show what they abie to do when the occasion requires presence. As the seating capacity of church is only about six hundred, there not be room enough for all those who visit the church, and the pew holders, course, will have the preference. Am Active Pastor. Father Matthews, pastor of the church, has been a hard worker in an effort to build ep this place of worship for the colored Catholies, and the members of the parish appreciate the result of his labors. This, however, is not his first undertaking of the kind, he having built the Catholic church caaiyiayt ‘The colored Catholics had worshiped at St Peter's and St. Josepn’s churches, but tney naturally wanied a home of their own, and so the old building that had been used & parochial school was set apart for There the colored people worshiped of Father Matthews’ return, March of last year.

On the 24th of September the corner stone was laid and the scene was an impressive one, being | witnessed by fully 12,000 people.

Besides these organizations there were 300 Sunday school scholars from St. Cyprian’s parish in line. Pastors of nearly all the local Catholic churches, as well as a repre- sentation of the Baltimore churches, partict- pated in the ceremontiez over which Cardinal Gibbons officiated. A copy of Saturday’s Star of the 23d of September, containing a picture of the new church, was among the articles put in the box and sealed in the corner stone. Several addresses were deliv- ered after the ceremonies were finished, among those who spoke being Cardinal Gib- bons. During the course of his remarks Cardinal Gibbons extended a hearty con- gratulation to the corgregation on the suc- cess which had crowned their efforts, and reminded his hearers of the necessity for offering thanks unto God. He alluded to God's omnipresence, and in this connection made us of several rather striking similes. “You reside in Washington,” said he; “the President of the United States also resides here. He, I know, is most anxious at all times to see his people, but owing to the Pressure of public business he is unable so to do. Not so is it with God. He is alway: present and ready to listen to your appeals. In conclusion Cardinal Gibbons reminded the congregation of the necessity of their co-operating with their pastor in his noble work and then he knew it would be but a short time before the church would be dedi- cated to the worship of God. In this con- nection it may be stated that the words of Cardinal Gibbons have been heeded, and, in less than eight months from the laying of the corner stone, the church edifice is com- plete in every particular and ready for the congregation. The New Edifice. As heretofore stated, the building {s situ- ated at 12th and C streets southéast, only a short distance from Lincoln Park, and is in a neighborhood where many improvements have been made in recent years. The build- ing itself is a handsome structure, being 102 feet deep by 56 feet in width. It {s con- structed of Potomac blue stone, the base- ment being granite and the trimmings of Baltimore county marble. There is a large hanging bay window, which provides a place for the sanctuary and gives that much addi- tional room in the church proper. A slate roof crowns the building, the elevation to the apex of the roof being 56 feet. The facade is broken at the corner with a square tower, standing, with :ts top, about 113 feet from the ground. Three wide doors open from the street, approached by ten stone steps, so constructed as to make them easy to ascend or descend. The basement will be used as a Sunday school room and will seat about 500 persons, while the church proper will seat a hundred more. The interior of the church is as imposing and handsome as the outside, ornamental columns of Gothic design supporting a deli- cately stained ceiling. Decorations are over the middle of the cathedral glass windows, the one over the main altar representing the resurrection. The altar ts a handsome affair, constructed of solid marble. Three tints of olive, with gold trimmings, were used in the decoration of the walls. Then the choir gallery in the rear end of the church is so constructed that it is an at tractive part of the interior of the building, and in this fs a new pipe organ. The bell, which has been hung in the tower, has a sweet tone. It weighs 1,650 pounds, and up- on it is engraved a history of the parish. The Money Expended. The construction of the building cost about $38,000. On the lot adjoining the new church is the pastoral residence, which cost about $5,000. In addition to these new structures, the colored parishioners of St. Cyprian’s Church have a school at 8th and D streets southeast, where the Sisters of y- | Providence, the only colored sisters in this | city, are in full charge. This property was given to the church by Mrs. Atkins, a col- ored woman, and it is the intention at some day, not in the far-off future, to erect a new school building and academ: Tomorrow afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, the resular May procession will take place, and Cardinal Gibbons will confirm 200 persons, children and adults, and in the evening, at f-past 7 o'clock, at the solemn vesper Bishop O'Sullivan will preach.

Written for The Evening Star by Sam Clover. (Copyrighted, 1894. All rights reserved.) —_—e—__. CHAPTER VI. NCB ONLY DUR- ing the night Paul @woke to find the big moon-eye still beam- ing above, while the monotonous “chug! chug!” of the engine indicated that the boat was keeping steadily on her way down the river. The next time he opened his eyes it was broad daylight; the vessel was just steaming into her dock, and the clatter all about him told the stowaway that the American continent had been crossed and that San Francisco lay invitingly open to his inspection. 1t was no trick to steal ashore unobserved during the bustle contingent on making fast. This safely accomplished the first and most natural question which intruded was how to get breakfast. “Here, young fellow, want to carry my sample case?” called a gray-bearded drum- mer at this juncture. “I’m only going three or four blocks up the street.” With alacrity Paul responded to the hail and quickly fell into line behind the travel- ing man, whose other baggage consisted of @ valise and an umbrella. Twenty cents—all the small change the man had—Paul received for this service, and with lighter spirits he started in search of a modest restaurant where he might break his fast. This done he next bent his steps to the post office, where, at the general delivery, three or four fat letters with the Chicago postmark were passed to him through the window. Outside the big doors, on the front steps of the main entrance, Paul eagerly tore open the envelope bearing his * mother’s familiar handwriting. A quick glance suf- ficed to assure him all were well at home, Will You Swear to That, Young Man. and, with a thankful heart, he sat down on the stone coping to leisurely read the let- ters from his father and sisters. All were of a like tenor—brimful of love for the wanderer, but anxious for his speedy return. “Surely,” wrote Madge, “you have done enough tramping by this time, and must be about ready to settle down to matter-of-fact life in Chicago. Be a good prodigal and we will promise you the fattest calf in the market.” It was his father only who suspected the true scope of Paul's tramp, and he begged the boy to think twice before putting salt water between him and the shores of Amer- ica. Yet he placed no limitation on_ his son’s travels, but left the lad free to follow his inclinations, asking in return that he write as often as possible. It was the last question which Paul rue- fully pondered. As to returning to Chicago, why, of course, that was not to be con- sidered—he was only fairly started; but if he could raise money enough to buy sta- tionery and stamps so as to write home he would be moderately happy. That duty must be performed at the earliest oppor- tunity, even if he missed a meal. From his reverie he was aroused by a smart slap on his back, while a voice in his ear shouted: “Hello, Scott: This familiar salute is given by a smartly dressed individual, whose sallow features, under a shiny silk hat, were adorned by a luxuriant black mustache. As Paul quickly turned the man saw he had —_ a mistake, and hastened to apolo- gine. “Beg your pardon, son. Thought you were a friend of mine from Cincinnati. Had a little job for him and rather ex- pected to meet him here.” Paul took this in good part and smilingly remarked that he bore “Scotty” no ill-will, but he was looking for a job himself. The man with the mustache ran his eyes over Paul, as if he were mentally “sizing him up.’ The inspection was evidently satisfactory, for he began to ask a number of questions, and ended by telling the lad to meet him at that same place at 12 o'clock. The two hours intervening Paul spent in writing letters. Strolling into the Palace Hotel to admire its gorgeous interior, he spied some loose paper and envelopes on one of the writing tables, which had evi- dently been left by a surfeited guest. Dropping unconcernedly into the vacated seat, Paul took off his hat, picked up a pen and wrote industriously until nearly noon, unmolested and unchallenged by any one. Good-By to Amertea, At the end of that time he had four bulky letters ready to mail. stamps. Depositing them in an inside pocket he carelessly meandered out doors, and then walked swiftly to the rendezvous, which he reached just as the clock tolled the noon hour. Five minutes later his acquaintance of the morning appeared. “Ah! You're on time, I see,” he called, as he mounted the steps. “Well, I admire promptness. Haven't been to dinner, I sup- pose?” Paul shook his head. “Then come along With me, and while we are eating I'll tell you what sort of a job I can offer you.”” ‘The unknown led the way to an attractive restaurant on Kearney street, where he ordered a substantial dinner. During its discussion he explained that his name was Dr. Queechy, and that he was the owner of a wonderful cure for sore eyes that he ex- pected to sell at the state fair at Sacra- mento, which was to begin next day. “What I want you to do, Paul,” he con- tinued, after the preliminary explanations were over, “is to take charge of my booth at the fair grounds and sell my eye water to the country visitors. I have the stuff all bottled in pints and quarts, which you = give away at fifty cents and a dollar a ttle.” Paul grinned. “That's a pretty steep price for a countryman to pay, isn’t it?” All he lacked was “Oh, well,” returned the doctor, with a fatuous smile, “if it was cheaper the idiots wouldn’t touch it at all. It’s human na- lure, my boy. High-priced goods must be extra fine, and, therefore, worth having. | You'll see; the stuff’ll go off like hot cakes | when you get your bills well distributed.” If Paul had any doubts about the merits of Dr. Queechy’s lotion they ought to have | entirely dissipated when he read the sample { hand bill which the doctor displayed. The wonderful curative properties of the medi- cine were set forth in no uncertain light, while numerous testimonials from various distinguished citizens vouched for the bene- | fts they had received from Its use. With | all this staring him in the face, Paul would | have been an "ate to have doubted, so with a cheery “thank you” he announced his willingness to accept the place. + “All right, then; that’s settled,” ex- claimed the doctor. “Two dollars a day and your expenses. Let's see—train leaves in an hcur. Ought to catch that so as to i of alighting on his feet and refused to give any thought for the morrow. Perhaps it was largely owing to his sublime faith in himself that he overcame difficulties which might have appalled a more experienced traveler, It was on a Thursday morning that Paul planked down his gold twenties on the counter of the steamship office and received in exchange his berth ticket on the City of Sydney. The boat was advertised to sail at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. A letter to his father, telling of the step he had taken, another to his mother, and Paul was ready to go on board. At 5 o'clock he was passing through the Golden Gate on his way to the Sandwich Islands; the Pacific cbast was gradually receding and an unknown region lay be- get an early start at the fair tomorrow. Stuff is at the depot; all we have to do 1s to check it through. Come ahead, son.” On their way to the station Paul pulled out his letters and remarked that he would like to mail them if his employer could make him a smail advance on his salary. The doctor opened his purse and handed his new assistant a silver dollar. “Would give you more,”he said in his terse, choppy way, “only I'm a little short just now.” Paul protested that 10 cents was enough, but the doctor waved him back and told him to say no more about it. it was a great relief to get the letters off his mind, for Paul's love for his parents was too genuine to allow them to worry through his neglect. As he dropped the en- velopes into the box he felt as if that action completed his record up to date. What fol- lowed would be a new chapter, which he Was only too eager to begin. arriving at Sacramento their first care was to transfer the bottled goods from the depot to the fair grounds. It was too late to do any work at the booth that night, so the doctor made arrangements for Paul to board at a cheap hotel near by, promising fo meet him early the day following at the By 7 o'clock next morning Paul had eaten his breakfast and was off to the grounds. When his employer appeared on the scene the bottles were neatly arranged in pyra- mids around the octagonal counter, while attractive hangers and flaring dodgers pro- claimed the virtues of the lotion in the most effective manner. “Better get a few small boys to pass around your handbills,” advised the doctor, after signifying his approval of Paul's work. “Spend this dollar on it,” he added, tossing over the coin, “but wait until the grounds fill up before you set ‘em to work. You must stick close to the stand, as I have other business on hand,” Toward noon Paul mana; to hire four youngsters at a quarter each, who solemnly promised to scatter the dodgers all over the fair grounds. Apparently their work was honest, for later on he sold half a dozen bot- tles to as many different people, each of whom carried a handbill. By 6 o'clock he had disposed of $15 worth of eye water, and, as the crowd was then rapidly thinning out, he concluded it was time for him to quit, too. So, locking up his bottles, he closed the booth and went over to his hotel to supper. Contrary to his expectations, the doctor failed to meet Paul that evening, but, sup- posing that he would surely receive a visit at the booth in the morning, the lad thought nothing of the omission and went to bed, feeling fairly jubilant over his first day's business. ‘The second day opened bright and pleas- ing. The attendance was larger, and, with another judicious distribution of dodgers by his faithful emissaries, sales of eye water steadily boomed, so that by supper time Paul's receipts amounted to upward of $50. Su the doctor did not appear, much to the concern of his assistant, who began to fear some mishap had befallen him. ‘The day had not passed without bringing many incidents to Paul's notice. Numerous were the questions, both funny and serious, that he was required to answer regarding the efficacy of the eye water, to all of which the lad replied as truthfully and intelli- gently as he could. One old lady who thought the stuff might possibly help her son Peleg’s eyes wanted to be certain that the medicine would do all that the handbill stated before she in- vested. Her shrewd questions rather flur- ried the young salesman. “You say that ‘one bottle will cure the worst case of sore eyes ever known,’” she exclaimed, quoting from the bill she held before her spectacles. “Will you swear to that, young man?” “Madam, let me explain,” answered Paul, deprecating!: You see, I cannot swear to it, only hired to attend this stand, and know very little about the lotion, The doctor is away just now, but he assur- ed me before he left that the medicine would do all he claimea for it. That's ail I can tell you.” “Humph! little enough,” she grunted. “However, you look honest, boy, so I'll take a bottle, anyway. Peleg's eyes is that ba: he can’t read out o’ the family Bible, which is printed in extry big letters. S'pose them instructions on the bottle tells how to use it, eh? But it's an awful high price to pay, though,” she muttered, as she hobbled off. ‘They were mostly grangers who bougat. It seemed to Paul that a great many farm- ers were aillicted with ophthalmia in that region, and he wondered if the lotion would make their eyes much worse. Whether the stuff were genuine or a rank humbug, he had no means of telling. He only had the doctor's word that it was all he represented o be. ‘The third day was a repetition, with but slight variation, of the one previous, except that the sales fell off a trifle. The fourth and last day of the fair found the doctor still missing, and so far all Paul's inquiries had been fruitless. In the afternoon, hav- ing sold every bottle of eye water in iue beoth, and with upward of $100 in his pock- et, he concluded to take a stroll around the ground8 in search of the absent one, It was while describing his employer to one of the fair police that Paul stumbled on his first bit of information concerning the doctor, “Doctor Quaichy, d’ye call him?” re- marked the officer, in a strong Hibernian accent. “Divvie a docther is he, Oi don’t think. Sure ther feller’s as slick a fakir as iver ye seen. Him an another chap’s bin run out o’ town for worrkin’ a lotthery racket on ther grounds. It's me that’s tellin’ yer he won't throuble this parrt o° Caltfornyer agin for a good bit. Some o’ ther lads he bilked lambasted him awful the fust day he opened up and then chased him to the thrain goin’ east. Sure he must be nearly to Ne-York be this toime.”” This was startling news, that might or might not refer to Dr. Queechy. Further investigation, however, convinced Paul that the policeman’s story was, in the main, true, for the additional evidence he gath- ered all pointed to the doctor as the exiled gambler. What bothered Paul was to know just why his employer had taken so much trou- ble with the stand. He finally concluded that the gambling had been an after con- sideration, particularly when he learned that another man had been implicated with him. After lingering two days in Sacramento to give an account of his stewardship, Paul decided that the doctor either feared to re- turn or else imagined the sale of eye water hadn't amounted to enough to bother about. ‘There was nothing for him to do but to go back to San Fraacisco, and with five double eagles wrapped in a chamois bag and vis- fens of the Southern Pacific haunting his | active brain, he again turned his face to- ward the Golden Gate. His next problem was a knotty one. It was whether to try and reach China and Japan or embark for New Zealand and Australian ports. Finally he put aside thoughts of cute little Japs and pretty musmees, as he realized how helpless he would be in a strange speaking country, without money or friends, and decided that the English colonies would be better suited for his purpose. It may be that the fact of haying an uncle living in South Australia aided him in coming to this determination. This question settled, the more difficult one of how to get there presented itself. At first Paul supposed it would be an easy matter to ship aboard any of the steamers lying in the harbor, but after spending a day or two in visiting the various vessel agents and captains, he discovered his error. He wasn't a sailor; cabin boys were out of date, and experienced understewards were a glut on the market. Evidently there was a conspiracy to turn him down, and with a sigh Paul came to the conclusion | that “running away to sea” was more of a fairy tale than a real! despite all the story books to the contrary. “Well,” thought hr I can’t ship as a sailor or get a billet as a steward, I can at east buy a passage as far as my money will carry me. Might just as well spend it this | Way as ary other.” Of the hundred dollars he had about | eighty-five left, fifteen having been spent in | buying a few necessary articles of clothing, a vallse, renting a room and in living ex- penses. A first-class passage to Australia was worth $200; by steerage, $100. Clearly | he could not get that far. To the Sandwich Islands saloon fare was $75; steerage, $30. ‘This was possible, so Honolulu he decided should be his next port of call. With a philosophy that was open to seri- ous criticism he next determined to traver | nrst-class, arguing that so long as he haa noney in his pocket he would get the best | in sight.

When at length he slept, it was to dream that he had married the daughter of a rich “planter, and was ie prime minister of Hawail. CHAPTER VII. The City of Sydney was badly crowded. In addition to her regular passenger traffic she carried an American circus troupe, with its accompanying impedimenta, that was going to “do” New Zealand and Aus- tralia, and, incidentally, the colonies. The circus pervaded the entire ship. Its trick horses, performing stallions, mules, elephants, camels and other uncaged ani- mals were confined in narrow stalle on the lower deck between the steerage way and amidships, while the fiercer ones, lodged behind tron bars, were scattered up and down the gangways and wherever. there was Space enough to lash a cage. ‘The roaring of the lions, hoarse bellowing of the seals, trumpeting of the seasick ele- phants and other kindred noises emanating from the menagerie produced a very bizarre effect that first night at sea; hence it was not strange that few passengers slept. Awakened from his dream of the premier- ship by the furious trumpeting of a fright- ened elephant, Paul lay quiet in his bunk for a few minutes until he got his bearings. Then, as a long roller threw the ship over, |he felt his stomach rebel, and hastily slid to the cabin floor just as a voice from the lower berth called out, “What's the matter, son, sick?" It was the ship's surgeon who asked the question. Pushed for room, the steamship company had even invaded the cabins al- lotted to the officers, and Paul had been quartered with Dr. Penrose, who had cheer- fully consented to the arrangement. It was another instance of Paul's luck, for the jolly doctor was able to do him many a good turn later on. “I don’t feel just right, doctor,” re- sponded the lad, as he labored over the basin. “Seems as if I'd lose my toe nails if this keeps up. Ob, dear!” he groaned, “guess I wasn’t cut out for a sailor,” and once more he struggled with his rebellious stomach. The hard-hearted dcctor laughed. “Why, my boy, in another day I'll have you guz- zling the fattest piece of fried pork there is in the cook’s galley. That’s right, let ‘er come; you'll be better pretty soon.” Not until there was nothing ieft to come did Paul feel safe in climbing back into his bunk, and then he was so weak that he quickly dropped to sieep in spite of the bediam.ic noises which prevailed. He told the doctor the next morning that he guessed he'd stick to the cabin for a while, when the latter urged him to get up and eat breakfast; so, promising to send the steward in with a bowl of beef tea and a biscuit, Dr. Penrose left Paul to his medi- tations It wasn't a pleasant morning for the young traveler, and those who have been there themselves will be ready to extend their sympathies.

Those that had escaped the prevailing com- plaint were mostly old stagers who had crossed the ocean so often they had their sea legs with them constantly. There was one notable exception, however, es Paul shortly discovered. For about an hour he persistently strode up and down the deck, a little white under the eyes and still rather green about the lips, but the awful feeling of nausea had passed away and with each fresh breath of salt air that he inhaled the lad felt a new invigorating force creeping into his veins. Oh, but it was glorious to breast the sharp, keen breeze, laden with minute crys- tals that flecked his cheeks and occasion- ally lit upon his lips. This was worth all that it had cost’ him so far, he decided, as he rested his arms for a minute on top of the bulwar and stood watching the dolphins play leap frog in the briny waves. Suddenly a smart gust of wind sent the hat of one of the promenaders sailing past the companionway, brought it in collision with a ventilator, lowered it for a second en the skylight over the saloon, and then, picking it up sharply, dashed it full in Paul's face, where its erratic career ended. It was a Tam o’ Shanter of soft, gray wool which Paul grasped, and the next minute its owner came beating up into the wind in search of her lost property. She was young —not over 16—with merry, laughing eyes, light brown, crisp, curly hair, and red, rosy cheeks—a picture of health and youthful beauty. “Oh, I'm so glad you stopped ft,” she ex- claimed as Paul handed over his prize. “I never expected to get it back again, you know.” Paul smiled and said he was glad to have had the chance of saving her cap from go- ing overboard, and then, as the girl paus- ed to cover her flying locks, he politely called her attention to the dolphins disport- ing in the water. She moved close up to the bulwarks and leaned over, the better to look at them. “What jolly fun they’re having down there,” she remarked, and by her accent Paul knew she was English. “See how easily they keep up with the ship.” Her companion tried to look down over the rail, too, but his head was hardly equal to the effort, and with a sickly smile he said he guested he would have to keep mov- ‘ou see, miss,” he apologetically ex- plained, “this is my first appearance on deck and I'm not quite used to the motion yet.” Hastily lifting his hat, he started off at a brisk pace, leaving the girl still watching the sportive fish. On his return the second | time she started to renew her walk, and the pieasant smile she gave Paul encouraged im to fall in step beside her. “What a capital sailor you are,” he ven- tured. “This can’t be your first trip at sea?” “Not quite,” she replied. “We left Liv- erpool three weeks ago, so I had a chance to get used to the motion while crossing the Atlantic; but it didn’t bother me a bit, even then. Dear mamma was dreadfully abin until we reached New York. I don’t suppose we shail see her on deck until we get to Hon- maid —is just as bad, so I have to look after myself entirely.” Further conversation with this ingenu- ous miss revealed the fact that her mamma was the wife of a high official attached to the English embassy at Levuka, Fiji, who with her daughter Ethel and the maid, Jones, was on her way to Sydney to meet her husband. At three bells, or half-past five, the live- ly Miss Ethel announced her intention of going below to dress for dinner, and as by this time Paul had overcome his repug- nance for food he expressed the hope of meeting his new acquaintance in the saloon. But as he descended the companionway he ruefully thought of his one suit of clothes and what a sorry figure he would cut at the dinner table. However, he was too young to let this worry him much, and after all, with clean linen ard a neat four-in-hand tle, he presented a very attractive exterior. It was too early in the voyage for the saloon to be crowded, so Paul found no difficulty in getting a seat near the rosy- | faced English lass, who had a good British appetite which nothing seemed to disturb. Considering his recent unpleasant experi- ences, the young Chicagoan mai to make a very fair meal himself, and between courses mustered up enough ambition to at- tempt a few responses to the bright sallies of his fair neighbor, whose effervescing spir- its were so contagious that Paul had for- gotten all about seasickness by the time coffee was served. It was a very innocent and wholly enjoy- able comradeship that the two young peo- ple formed for each other during the suc- ceeding days at sea. Just a healthy boy and girl friendship, devoid of any sickly senti- mentality. They walked, talked, sang and read together as if they were college chums, and, with no one to interfere with their movements, had a royal good time. Through the ship they roamed at will, all avenues being open to their inspection. They visited the steerage quarters together, dived down into the fo’castle, made friends with the elephants, chatted with the lon tamer, watched the juggler -practice his art on the lower deck, sang songs with the side show people and even discussed ama- teur photography with the clown, that be- a cme agp hobby. J Playing, quoit pitching, hop scotch, bean bag, hoop pole, chess, checkers, dom- inoes, dancing—all the mild diversions cal- culated to while away the hours on ship- board—they practiced, the weather mean- time proving delightfully fair. With so charming and congenial a com- panion it is not strange that the week passed with lightning speed and Honolulu was in sight almost before Paul realized that the time had arrived when he must say good-bye to the ship and his pleasant acquaintances. Waiting until the last minute to make bis adieu, he tore himself away with a heavy heart, paid his shore tax of $2 and then rode up town to the Hawaii Hotel, where he decided to spend the night, cost what it might. There was a mosquito netting over the bed in his room, but the Kanaka variety of insect laughed it to storn and the warm welcome they accorded the stranger when he crept under the canopy was an earnest of the hospitality of the island. With such bedfellows sieep was banish- ed and after tossing from one pillow to an- other until daylight, what was left of Paul crawled out of range, hastily dressed and went down to breakfast. When he settled his bill the young traveler found he had just 75 cents in cash left, a state of that set him to thinking seriously. (To be continued.) ———_ -+e+- AT LINCQLN’S STATUE. Hen-Pecked Husband Kneels There and Asks for an Emancipation Proc- lamation. From the Chicago Frening Post. About 8 o’cloc ist evening as one of the Lincoln Park ; .cemen was walking his beat near the south end of the park he saw a man kneeling before the statue of Abra- ham Lincoln. His hands were folded he seemed pleading for some favor the bronze form of the great which towered above him. The officer concealed himself behind a sapling two inches in cir- cumference and- waited.

How Baby Amused Itself on the Street Car With Somebody's Red Nose. From the Boston Post. It was a very cunning little child, just be- binning to talk, and its mother manipulated 2t so as to show its sweetness to the best advantage for the rest of the passengers. The lady who sat beside the mother on the cross seat of the car smiled at it, the wo- man opposite chirped at it, the man across the aiele let it play with his cane. Amid all these attentions the little one crowed and laughed and squirmed around in the very ecstasy of pleasure. Every now and then, however, the child turned toward the lady next to it, and re- garded her with fixed admiration. Finally it put out its chubby hand and cautiously felt her nose through her veil. Then every- body looked at the nose and saw that it was very red. Conscious of this observation the woman with the red nose got red cheeks and a red neck. The nose in the meantime lighted up like a beacon, greatly to the delight of the baby, who grabbed at it under the impression, evidently, that the nose had been colored up for its especial en- joyment. “Pitty!” cried the child, trying at the same time to take hold of the nose. The unfeeling man, with whose cane the baby had been playing, grinned as he picked up the discarded stick, and the mother tried to choke the baby off with kisses. The other women smiled sweetly— all but the woman with the red nose. She was mad enough to bite the child’s head off. But the little innocent began to pinch its mother’s nose and make a mental com- parison between that organ and the nose shining through the v4il. This was certainly odious. But the closer the infant studied the two noses, the more satisfied it appear- ed to be that the red nose was the prettiest and most desirable. So it playfully grabbed for the red nose once more, to the equal discomfiture of the owner of the nose and the owner of the baby. At that point the woman with the red nose arose and made for the door, the baby began to yell with rn a han and the spectators laughed m Her cheeks are rosy Her eyes, like depths Are gems set in Bhe has a gentle, dreamy smile ‘That makes me softly sigh. She's always in the latest style Whenever I pass by.
