A correspondent requests that we print some of the striking things great uieu have s:.id about newspapers—that is. sayings that embody the purpose und doings of the press. With pleas ure. Bryant said: "The press is good or evil, according to the character of those who direct it. It is a mill that grinds all that is put into its hopper. Fill the hopper with poisoned grain, and It will grind it to meal, but there is death in the bread." James Parton said: "The newspaper press is the people's university. Half the readers in Christendom read little else." Jefferson said: "The basis of our gov ernment being the opinion of the peo ple, the very first object should be to keep that right, and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or uewspapers without a government I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." Cardinal Gibbons said: "The dread of ?xposure in the public press keeps many a man sticking close to the path of rec titude who otherwise would stray off Into the byways of graft." Chicago Journal. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Borne men work Just enough to keep dirty. Every one wants always to be able to work, but not always to have to. If you don't like certain persons, how you hate to hear their money rattle! Here is one sign that you are talking too much—when your listener tries to pull away from you. After a man passes fifty it is Impos sible for him to get up any enthusiasm about anything but his troubles. Ever notice how the big flies avoid fly paper? It Is the same with the real ly big men. They are seldom caught. You can follow directions In making a cake or cutting out a shirt, but there are no directions that can be followed successfully In managing a man. Some how be Is not like a cake or a sliirt.— Atchison Globe. The Stuart King*. The family name of the Stuarts was originally, as Mr. Bayley observes, Fltzalan. The original Walter Fitz alan. brother of the ancestor of the dukes of Norfolk, was lord high stew ard of Scotland, and from this cir cumstance his branch of the family appears to have adopted the name of • ttewart. When the change began Is not certain, but It was probably not later than the time of Alexander, tha great-grandson of Walter Fltzalan, for both his sons— James, the grandfather of Robert 11. and all the Scottish Stew art kings, and John, the ancestor of Lord Darnley— appear to have borne the name of Stewart.

Marshall • it was the night of the wedding of Mrs. Baxter's youngest daughter. The mother had bidden her a fond farewell und watched her with her lord depart. When the wedding guests all had gone save those who were to remain all night Mrs. Baxter went to her room, dismissed her maid and gave full sway to her unwonted hour of solitude. She had loved her youngest daughter even more devotedly and fondly than she had her other two children, but she was not grieving over her departure now. Instead she was reveling in the first taste of freedom she had known In years, for her children—the prac tical Walter, the domineering Julia and the spoiled Dolly—had each and all In turn and en concerto ruled each move ment, great or small, of her life. When live j ears ago her husband had been the hero of a little adventure that bad shocked a shocking world and her fond, foolish heart would have for given him as he desired. Walter had taken the affair into his hands, ably j seconded by his sister Julia, and before 1 the prostrated, bewildered wife had I fully grasped the situation she had ' found herself divorced. David Baxter, contrite and conciliatory, had be«n ! most generous In settlements and had then completely effaced himself from I the lives of all he held dear and had taken up his abode In a distant city. I Doliy had been too young to know much about the affair, and to her ; mother's timid proposal that the fa i ther should l»e asked to give the hand of his youngest and his favorite child t In marriage she had lent a willing ear, ! but Walter and Julia had emphatically 1 vetoed such an outrageous act. An hour after the wedding ceremony ! Walter had started on an Important ; | A TALL, FAMIT.IAR FORM CAME gCICKLT TOWARD HER. business Journey and Julia had taken the same train to her home and chil dren. Her mother was under orders to follow iu a few days, when the big house should be closed for the summer. Julia had arranged for some cousins to remain also until her departure. "I feel," thought Mrs. Baxter, with a nervous little giggle, "as 1 used to when I was a little girl and my moth er went avVUy and left me alone In the house. It seems as if I ought to play with the clock or do something forbid den." Suddenly she arose and went to her writing desk. Opening a secret draw er, she drew forth two photographs- David Baxter, boyish and debonair, aged twenty-one, and David Baxter, shrewd and Jovial at the threshold of middle age, as when she had last seen him. There was also a slip of paper bearing his present address, for Mrs. Baxter had surreptitiously mailed him newspapers with marked articles from time to time, though she had never dareil to write or hope to hear from him. A tender look caine into her eyes, and she swiftly reviewed her past. "It was my fault."' she thought. "I neg lected him for the children and their - friend* Their wishes came first." t She carefully restored the pictures again and renewed her reverie, i "We were perfectly happy that first; year only—before David got so very rich, and we lived in that dear little cottage on the forty acres, I wish—l will!" A sudden hold resolution came to her, md fearful lest her weak nature should make her change her mind she dashed off Iwo letters, one of which ' was to the people who lived In their ' old home, which she had never sold. ' but had allowed some needy friends to occupy rent free. Her dreams that night were happy pictures of woods, meadows and coun try lanes.

Her heart beat almost pain fully she came nearer to her desti nation. "I am <1 foolish old woman," she told herself. "t >f course no one will be there!" botue oiiu was there, however. A tall, familiar form came quickly to ward her. "Oh, David!" she cried, with a llttfs gasp. "I was afraid you wouldn't come." "You knew I would," he asserted. "But wait." He put his arms about her and half led her through the woods. Not a word was spoken. She guessed what was In his mind and smiled happily when he led her to a certain tree apart from the others. "There," he said. "Now I feel thirty years younger, and. Helen, you look not a year older than you did when we were here last." "Oh. David! When 1 was left alone there In that big house the longing came to see you once more, but I didn't dare hope you would come." "I have been waiting for the letter you wrote for five long years!"

The Sansons have a place in French history, not only because they contin ued so long to hold their odious office, but because two of their number, a father and sou, held office during the evil days of the reign of terror, when they were kept so busily eugaged with their guillotine. The last of the San sou dynasty was dismissed from his post iu the reign of Louis Philippe, in 1847, under remarkable circumstances. Although he had inherited a comforta ble fortune from his father, the exe cutioner of the revolution, he got into pecuniary difficulties and was guilty of pawning his guillotine, surely the most lugubrious pledge ever taken by mor tal pawnbroker. An order cane from the procurator general for the execu tion of a criminal, and the necessary apparatus was not forthcoming. The prison authorities had perforce to get It out of pawn, and the execution took place. But the last of the Sansons was Informed that hi-* services would no longer be required.

In Ireland only one shamrock 1$ known. It is an indigenous species of clover which trails along the ground among the grass In meadows. The tre fold leaves are not more than one fourth the size of the smallest trover usually seen In America and are pure green In color, without any of the brown shading of white ami pink clo vers The creeping stem is hard and fibrous and difficult to dislodge from the earth. On St. Patrick's day the true shamrock has to be searched out among the grass, for, though compara tively plentiful at that season, it grows close to the ground. Later It bears a tiny "white crown" blossom. The Information that vhamrakh Is the Arabic word for trefold may be of service to those interested In the origin of the Irish race. For a Ynunn Man With Money, If I were a young man with a certain amount of capital and desirous to In crease It at the expense of fools, I should become a dealer In pictures and In works of art. The prices paid at auctions for such articles by a few dealers bidding against each other are abused, although a vast number of very wealthy .fools who purchase them from dealers are ready to pay stili higher The mere fact that some article has been sold In an auction room at a high price attracts thei.>, and they buy It from the dealer at a ' higher one In order to lie able to point to it in their houses and to tell their friends how much it cost them. The dealer consequently makes much money by acting as a middleman. | Whether there i> any arrangement to run tip the price among dealers I do i I not know, but I have always won \ dercd whether this Is the case and j whether the original owner always get-j the sell ug price at the auction. i London Truth.
