Then the roundsman came and found him sitting there, with hi coat unbuttoned and hi club and bait off, when he should have been patrolling his beat. He got up and walked with the roundsman.

As they went he asked: "Are you going to report me?" "Yes." "You're always down on me." The officer turned down the street. The disgraced pollcoman stood and watched him. In an Instant a pistol shot rang out. The roundsman turned and faced his assailant. Another shot.

After awhile, a long, sleek, worldly-looking sparrow perched on the twig immediately above the lonely one and looked down at him. "Here's my chance," thought the sufferer, and opened its beak as if to tell its sot row. when with a toss of his head, and an upspringlng of his tall, away flew the happy sparrow caring nothing for the sick one on the branch. I became quite interested. Other sparrows came, and at every coming the fat one, not fat really, but the puffed-ball one, sought with yearning desire to communicate some distressful intellgence.

Men whoss appetites and passions ars stronger than their common sense ought to be protected from their appetites and passions precisely as a toddling baby should be guarded and kept from falling Into a fire or falling from a window.

Now, the sparrow wanted sympathy. It may have wanted crumbs; It may have wanted aid and comfort of a physical nature, which would enable It to reach its nest, if it had one, or its home, wherever it might be. But whatever It wanted can properly be classed under the generic term sympathy. A few weeks agp I had occasion to tell the story of a once prominent union general, who, by reason of his love of drink, has sunk from a proud preeminence to the low level of a drunken bum, a 10-cent borrower, and without, I need hardly say, mentioning his name. or indicating specifically In any sense whatever his Individuality, I utilized him as an illustration of a class of man who, under the control of his appetites and passions, loses his manhood and approaches the line of Im by book; also that today the country Is crying from coast to coast for men of character for the bench, the legislative halls and the executive offices of our government.

Away up among the sturdy old hills of Now Hampshire, far from the noise and din af the bustling cities below on the south, stands the college. Its very situation calls to mind the strong character ofthose men who Journeyed up Into the north to lay the foundations for an educational institution. The hardship which they must have undergone during the early year of Its existence call forth a desire on the part of every student who ha spent four years within Its classic halls to go forth Into the world to meet life's struggle at tha beginning, i who started out but to a hat but who. by the path they baas ii 1 1 amy won the recognition of while the other, satisfied aa exclusive club, have in the result inscribed on his tombstone at St Pettr church, Leyden. Yet a third enthusiast worked out the calculation to more than 700 places of decimals, and even then did not get so near as Peter Metius, who guessed at his answer.

This latter lucky gentleman asserted that the diameter is to the circumference as 113 is to 366. This is so nearly right that the error would be less than a foot in a circle with a 2000-mlle radius. For a long time this approximation was as near as anyone got, but In 1863 a woman mathematician went one better. Here is her formula: "From three diameters deduct eight-thousands and seven mlllionths of a diameter, and to the result add percent. We have then not quite enough, but the shortage is only at the rate of about an inch and a sixteenth of an inch In 14.000 miles.

Enforced Why certainly, that's the difficulty. We have laws enough, and I must say in the main very sensible law, in respect to the sale of liquor, but the laws are unequally enforced. The rioh man's gilded barroom can be a scene of revelry all night and all Sunday, but the hovellstlc gin mill for the poor and the degraded must be rigorously closed at specified times, or the policemen must be regularly paid for the permission of a violation of the law.

We have no honest rulers. What difference does it make that tha mayor of our city is a gentleman, an honest man, a reputable merchant, a financier of world-wide recognition? He is simply the chief magistrate of the metropolis. He makes no laws. He can enforce no laws save through subordinates, and our city government is so divided and subdivided that while the ultimate responsibility in a certain narrow sense rests upon the mayor, as matter of fact, the board of excise, the board of polioe, and, therefore, the Individual policemen, have more to say about the enforcement of this law. which takes sympathetic hold of every heart on Manhattan Island, than the mayor of the city himself.
