L.cfirhfon and the Poor Student, Os Leighton’s hearty, eager helpfulness many instances might be given. Here is one. After a certain prize day st the academy a student was passing through the first room on his way to the entrance. He looked the picture of dejection and disappointed wretched-ness-poorly and shabbily dressed ard slinking away as if he wished to pass out of the place unneticed. Millais and Leighton, walking arm in arm, came along, pictures of prosperity. Leighton eaught sight of the poor, downcast student Leaving Millais, he darted across the vestibule to him and. taking the student's arm, drew him back into the first room and made him sit down on the ottoman beside him. Putting bis arm on the top of the ottoman and resting his bead on his hand, Leighton began to talk as he alone could talk, pouring forth volumes of earnest, rapid utterances, as if everything in the world depended on bis words conveying what he wanted them to convey. He went on and on. The shabby figure gradually seemed to pull itself together, and at last when they both rose he seemed to have become another creature. I.eigbton shook hands with him. and the youth went on bis way rejoicing. It is certain that If other help than advice were needed it was given. But it was the extraordinary zest and vitality which Leighton put into his help which made it unlike any other. He fought every one's cause as others fight their own.—London Telegraph. Oxford’s Witty Pilshop. Two stor es are attributed In The Railway Magazine to the witty bishop of Oxford. He was once talking to some boys in a school and said to them: "Now. my boys, I dare say you think it's a very fine thing to be a bishop. But I assure you I'm a very busy man. I have to go about all over my diocese, and I haven't time to study like you have. In fact nearly all my study has to be confined to only one bock. It tiegins with n - B.’ Do you know what it is?’ "The Bible, sir: the Bible,” shouted the boys all together. "Nb,” replied the bishop, with a merry twinkle in his eye. "It's called 'Bradshaw!' ” The other story is still better. On one occasion when he alighted from the train at Wheatley, the station for Cuddesden palace, an officious porter rushed up to him and asked. "Any articles in the van, my lord?" “Articles,” said the bishop grimly. "Yes. 39 articles.’’ Off hurried the porter and worried the guard almost out of bis senses by the way be searched the van and detained the train. Presently he came back to the bishop with a crestfallen expression of countenance. “There are only seven, my lord.” "Only seven? Ah. you're a Dissenter then, I should think.” Lacking In Romance. “Bwigsby hasn’t a particle of romance about him.” ”1 never thought he bad. Any new proof of It?” “Yes. He wns calling on Daisy Bwinnerton. You know Daisy. Little thing, but full of poetry. Swigsby said be wondered where they met the first time, and Daisy in her poetical way said she guessed It was in the gloaming. Swigsby looked puzzled, and then what do yon suppose be said?” "Give it up.” "Said be guessed she was mistaken, because be couldn’t recall any apartment bouse by that name.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Assisting Hi* Memory. Bobby was spending the afternoon at his aunt's and for some moments bad been gazing out of the Window in a . painfully thoughtful sort of way. “What makes you so serious, Bobby?” asked bls aunt “Why, ma told me that I must remember not to ask for anything to eat and 1 am trying to remember it”— Velon Signal.

THE RECORD BROKEN GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT Al CHICAGO BI&GEST TORY OP ORGANIZATION. VETERANS COME BY THOUSANDS Notable Features of the Great Encampment’s Programme and of the City's Welcome to Gathered Hosts — Gossip Regarding Next [ Commander. Chicago, Aug. 28.—The 34th annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic is in full blast and in all respects is proving to be the greatest and most successful encampment the army has ever held. It is estimated by railroad officials that fully 50,000 old soldiers have arrived and that 350.000 other excursionists have come with them. The veterans have come from all parts of the republic, and every northern state has sent a strong contingent. The first day of the encampment was one of ideal beauty in marked contrast to the hot and humid weeks that have preceded it since the first of August. The lute afternoon feature of the day’s celebration, the naval parade on Lake Michigan proved somewhat of a disapfiointinent, weather conditions interfering sadly with the arrangements. Besides the revenue cutters Morrill and Fessden and a fleet of excursion steamers it had been planned to have the large fleet of the Chicago yacht club included in the parade from the lake front park off Jackson boulevard to Lake Michigan, where the naval battle took place, but the breeze died away and hardly a breath of air was stirring during the afternoon, so this part of the programme was necessarily abandoned. The end of the naval fight off Lincoln park closed the official programme of the encampment for the day, but all over the city in various balls and in all the hotels there were re-unions of regiments almost without number, gatherings of comrades who had not met since the days of the war and fraternal gatherings of all sorts and descriptions. One of the leading affairs of the night was the banquet of the Iron brigade which was held at the club hous-- of the Athletic club. Today is given over to the big parade and a reunion of veterans by states, the latter being a feature of the encampment which was never attempted before. Unless the unexpected happens, it is probable that Major Leo Raisseur of St. Louis will be elected commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic for the coming year at the business session Wednesday. Gen. John C. Black of Illinois, who has been prominently mentioned for the office and who. although he has made no canvass, had developed considerable strength among the veterans of the western and northwestern states, has declined to be a candidate. This apparently leaves a clear field for Maj. Raisseur. as no other name has so far l>een mentioned by the veterans already in the city and the indications jgiint to his unanimous selection at Wednesday's m< eting. Want the Next Meeting. Chicago. Aug. 28—The contest for the honor of entertaining the next annual encampment of the G. A. R. promises to be a rather lively one. The preponderance of sentiment apparently favors a western city, and both Salt Lake and Denver have delegations on the ground working hard to secure the encampment of 1901. Commnnder-in-Chief Shaw is quoted as favoring "any place where the comrades may have cool weather.”

LEFT HOOK TO JAW Was What !>><! It For Sharkev In the Second Round. New York. Aug 25.—Whipped into insensibility in less than two rounds is the story in brief of Tom Sharkey's meeting with Hob Fltzsiuinions at the Coney Island Sporting chib last night. Fitzsimmons was the victor, Sharkey the loser. Fitzsimmons was a decided favorite in the betting, owing to his showing with Ruhlin a short time ago. When the men came together Sharkey assumed the aggressive, rushing tricely and swinging wildly. In the second round Sharkey, having gained eonti dence from his knocking 1 itzsluimous down in the preceding round, went for his man as if to annihilate him, but Fitz, havitt the cooler henit ami l>et ter judgment, outgeneraled the younger man, who seemed to lose alt control of himself In his frantic endeavors to land on Fitzsimmons. Fitz stepped In to Idm and literally battered Sharkey down witb ( rig:it on the body and lifts and rights on head. It was a short but hard tight in which Fitzsimmons proved Ins superiority, and It is Just possible that another meeting wiyi Jeffries will result in Fitzsimmons again winning the title of heavy, weight champion of the world. Alxrut 0.000 people saw the Inuit. Towne Talks. Duluth, Minn., Aug. 2S.—The largest gathering to listen to a isdltleal speech that over assembled in Duluth occurred last evening at the armory when Charles A. Towne oi>ened the campaign in a lengthy address, in which he.replied to the recent speech of (Governor Roosevelt, delivered at St. Paul on the occasion of the national convention of the League of Republican clubs, and arraigned the administration policy in the Philippines. The speech, which will be used ns a campaign document. Is considered as Mr. Towne's greatest political effort.

A very handy thing to have “about these days is the Chicago and North western’s official map of China and Asia, which, though outside of the territory traverse<l by it. is most expedi tiously reached by its admirable double daily fast train service to the I Pacific coast. The map, from official I sources, shows on one side not only i the entire continent of Asia, with the I Trans-Siberian railroad and other modern improvement- up to date, but I on the other, a Mercator projection of the world, enabling the traveler, stuI dent and casual reader to obtain instantly an idea of the relative pcsition of places, which is often of so : much greater consequence than the absolute point itsel*. Northeastern I China, the scene of the present hosti]ties, and Korea are also shown upon a . very much larger scale, nearly every important point which is mentioned in the daily papers being readily I found, while another portion of the sheet contains historic and statistical information regarding the empire of China. The entire work is appropriately surrounded by modest and truthful statements of the merits of the Northwestern system, which in its construction, operation and equipmeat, as well as in its literature, is a standard of excellence and a full realization of its motto "The best o f ( , v . erything.” The official maps of China, with other information of national interest, may lie obtained by forwarding 4 cents in postage to W.
