FULTON COUN'Y NEWS. A ROMANCE OF RAGS By Hope Hart. j "Onus" stood on the eornor of two of tli6 busiest streets of the city. The "beautiful" covered him with a white ninntle, and a cold, biting wind swept chills throiiitb. his thin, worn coat Pnsscrs by there were by hundreds, but none bestowed upon blm more than a disinterested glnnce. lie was a "stran ger within the gate" of a city where poverty Is too common to awake com ment "Hags" was the eminently fitting so briquet given him by half a dosen dev ilish youngsters. , "lings" had walked the streets all day In a fruitless search for employment He was "willing to do anything." "For God's snke, let me do something!" The many times be had made this ap peal he bad ceased to count Truly there was nothing prepossessing In the appearance of the shaggy haired man, with the stoop of CO years and the burden of his' poverty. And "Rags'" services were not in demand. It was growing dusk. Through the thick mist of snow the electric lights began to twinkle. The lonely man on the corner put bis hands In his pockets they were empty, lie heaved a sigh and, turning, entered a narrow sldo street leading to a cheap lodging house. The door closed behind him, and he wended his way up two flights of rickety stairs to bis room his homel The mockery of the word to how many poor, weary, . aching, breaking human hearts I It was cheer less and cold, but the wind didn't blow In eveu at that big bole In the window half so bard as It did on the corner, and "Hags" was grateful for the cot and the rickety table, with Its new red and green cover (the donation of some enterprising "Dorcas club"), and a hard wooden chair. A violin case stood In one corner of the room. "Hues" lighted the dirty lamp and brought forth Lis old violin. He touch ed it tenderly with his almost froxen Angers, rested It' under his quivering chin and drew the bow caressingly across the strings. He loved It It had been bis compan ion now for 40 years. Its every tone was fraught with sweet memories. When the strings awoke to magic melody under the pres sure of Love's bow, there thrilled an answering vibration In a fair woman's heart, and even after the heart was stilled the violin was the medium for "heart to heart" talks the messenger from soul to souL It bad been his "good fairy;" It had brought blm Into favor with the fickle goddess. Fortune, nud the queen of fame had smiled when he and the old fiddle bad played for her long, long ago; If "lings" were playing for her to night, . she -would surely lay a laurel wreath upon his silver balr, and fickle Fortune should return and fill bis pock ets with golden nuggets direct from far Cape Nome, for he played tonight as he lind never played before. A man passing on the street below , paused and listened. He entered the lodging house and followed the stairs up to the half open door whence came the music. He was a man of SO, per haps, and bis face was one familiar to amusement patrons. He waited for the music to cease. Five ten minutes and still the vio linist played. Each passing moment the listener felt more certain that be bad not been mistaken. He peered In at the door. The fulnt light fell across the old man's face, bis fingers had warmed, bis eyes flashed, and the love for bis old In strument (ah, there was the secret of his power tonight) shone In bis counte nance. There was only one thing else on earth he cared for since Kate was gone and tonight was the last time hi would ever touch the beloved violin! , Tomorrow It would bang In som pawnbroker's shop, and he ll Is frame shook with sobs, and th music ended In a broken chord. "Father!" The word was uttered In a low, con centrated tone, and the strong hand of youth clasped the feeble band of age, "Fntherl" The old man started. The gray lieafl was raised, and the violinist looked Into the handsome face before him. "My boyl My boy!" he cried, bti anus round the two things he loved most on earth, the old violin and his child. "And you never received my letter, father?" the boy had asked. "I supposed your silence meant that you were still angry with me, and pride forbade my writing again." "It was too hard on you, my lad," toe old man wcptKate told me so. Six teen was but a boy, and the clrous ring Is attractive" "From a reserved seat" the young mau interrupted. "But the spangles are for the benefit of the audleqce, and 'sometimes each separate spangle means a separate heartache to the wearer. Many, many times I longed to see tht old home and you and mother. And you have been searching for me evet Since" And after awhile the young man told the old one a little story of On madt up Of lovtllnuss alcro A woman o( bar ftntla an Tht aeamiuf paragon, who had brought Into bis life bright ness thousands of times more radiant than ever the spangles of circus riders In years of yore. Then the old man and the young man and the violin that would not bang In a pawnbroker's shop on the morrow all went uway together to find her. The snow bad ceased falling, the moon was shining, and the gilded cross of fashionable St Paul's gleamed piti less and cold in the white light Nlckell Magazine.

Tbe Twenty-Fifth President. President Roosevelt is spoken of as the twenty-sixth President, and more correctly as the twenty fifth. The question is easily set tled. The usual printed list in the al manac put McKinley down as the twenty-fifth President, and on a hasty glance one naturally as su mes that Roosevelt is the twenty sixth. The following is the list usually printed : 1 George Washington. 2 John Adams. 8 Thomas Jefferson. 4 James Madison. 5 James Monroe. G John Quincy Adams. '7 Andrew Jackson. 8 Martin Van Buren. 9 William H. Harrison. 10 John Tyler. 11 James K, Polk. 12 Zachary Taylor. 13 Millard Fillmore. 14 Franklin Pierce. 15 James Buchanan. 16 Abraham Lincoln. 17 Andrew Johnson. 18 Ulysses S. Grant. . f T..il M J T1 Tf 21 Chester A. Arthur. 22 G rover Cleveland. 23 Benjamin Harrison. 2i Grover Cleveland. 25 Wi.liam McKinley. 20 Theodore Roosevelt The. confusion arises from con nting Grover Cleveland twice, because the interval of the Har rison term occurred between his first and second term, If his terms had succeeded each other as in the case of other Presidents holding two terms he would have been counted as the twenty-second President, Benjamin Harrison the twenty-third, as he was, and McKinley as the twenty-fourth. If both of Cleveland's terms are to be counted and he is to be call ed the twenty second and twenty fourth President, then other double terms should be counted also, and Washington would bo the first and second President, and so on. This mode of enumera tion would make Roosevelt the thirty-fourth President. By no reasonable mode of counting can he be the twenty -sixth. He is in fact the twenty fifth person to till the office, and consequently the twenty -fifth President of the Uni ted States, counting personalities and not presidential terms. A SENSIBLE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER So Promises Tbe Sunday North American, tie First Number of Wbicb Will bo Out September 29. The North American announces that on September 29th it will be gin the publication of a Sunday edition. Prevailing conditions demand of each metropolitan pa per an issue every day in the year, and the North Americau is sensibly obeying that demand. Rumors of this innovation have already been heard and interest and speculation as to what U will be like is keen. The North Amer ican, when it does anything, does it better than any one else and in the matter of a Sunday paper the same rule is expected to apply. For one thing, The North American promises that its Sun day edition will bo "different" The standard of text and illustra tion will be as high as that of any monthly magazine. It will not be "cheap" in any sense. It will not magnify the trivial, neither will it make heroics out of the silly and the commonplace. The North American's motto is, "A sensiblo Sunday newspaper, "and if it is such it certainly will be different and welcome. It will strive, of course, to be interesting and entertaining. That goes witnout saying. Thte special writers and artists are of the first rank and the magnificent mechanical equipment of Tin North American insures perfect printing. As to the details of the paper j itself this much is known. There j will be four colored supplements j in addition to the news sections i and sheet music. There will be j a supplement of eight pages in j colors, devoted exclusively to l women's interests, a comic sec I tion of four pages in colors, a I maga.ino section of twelve pages j in colors and a sixtoon-pago sup plement iu colors explaining the involved aud varied processes of making a newspaper. The sheet music vjill be like that on sale in music stores in every particular. The first Sunday North Amer ican will probubly consist of seventy six pagos, of which thirty two will bo used for news. 0XOQ0QQ0O0O2QQ xcxxxxxoxxxxxxxxxoq GUNS, Loaded Shells, Powder, Shot, &c, &c.
