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

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.
