Amputation of n Hand. ,
According to Inspector uenerai i
Breckinrirtce, who recently returned
from Cuba and Porto Kico, the sense of
moral responsibility of the average Cu
ban is extremely limited. This was
btrongly impressed npon him one day at
a military station near Santiago. A
gang of bandits had been rounded np
by the troops and with them a dozen
horses 6tolen from a plantation in the
vicinity. The general took a look at
tho prisoners and noticed among them
a man who appeared to belong to a bet
ter class than his companions. He was
called forward and through an inter
preter the general questioned him.
"How did yon get mixed np in this J"
asked the inspector general.
J'I had nothing to do with the
affair," was tbe reply. "I am the
schoolteacher in tho district where
these men live, and Igive them advice.
I give every one advice who cornea for
it."
"But," suggested the officer who ac
companied General Breckinridge, "that
fellow told the robters to cnt off the
hand of the owner of the horses."
"Ask him why he made such a malig
nant suggestion," said the general to
tbe interpreter.
The question was put, and the school-1
teacher shrugged his shoulders. "The
'cacique' does not understand," he j
said. "It was 1 who saved the proprie
tor's life. These men came to me with
him aud said: 'He will not pay ns what
wq dciiKiinl. Shall we kill him I' Then,
us tuey asked mo for advice, I said:
?C,i flu nnt trill liiin. Ont. nfr rnt Imnrl
he will Mr von then.' Thev did as I
advised, the mouev was naid. and I had
saved the man's life. There is surely
nothing malignant about that I am

The trustees of tho Berkeley Divinity
school of Middletown, Conn., in which ,
the. late Bishop Williams (Episcopal)
was so deeply interested, have decided
io rename the chair which he filled for
so many years. Henceforth it is to be
the "Bishop Williams chair of doctrinal i
theology." And they are going to carry ,
out oue f his dreams by pluoing the
chair upon tho solid foundation of a
$70,000 endowment. "This." says the
Hartford Courant, "will bo rf memorial
after John Williams' own heart. There
would have been no pleasure at all for
him in the vision of a costly statue, ofe
towering monument, or anything of
that sort. But the assurance that his
dear school was to benefit by the love
borne, him and the loving remembrance
of him would have filled him with de
light." Country Felicity.

of insanity. 1 consulted one of tho
best physicians in New York, and he
pronounced my disease a fibroid tumor,
advising an operation without delay,
saying that it was my only chance for
life. Other doctors prescribed strong
and violent medicine, and one said I
was incurable, another told me my
only salvation was galvanic batteries,
which I tried, but nothing relieved me.

HIS ORDERLY.
il
II and been a general; now, atensithe,
honorable man, was stranded iu a far city.
A 10 cent piece iu his vest pocket was ev
erything ho possessed in the world.
Across tho street, ni ho walked aimless
ly along, his eye caught a sign, "Hones
Bostub, Groceries."
"Why, that must be my old orderly.
Thero can't possibly be two of that namo
in tho world. If it is. I'll yes, I'll"
Not even mentally would tho general Tier
mit himself to finish tho sentcijcc, but he
crossed over and stood where ho could look
into tho busy shop.
Yes, it was Bostub? no doubt about it.
Tho general lingered a moment, then tim
idly entered the grocery store, where a
smart young fellow immediately asked
him civilly but abruptly what hy would
have. Bostub wns iu the rear of the store,
close to the littlo oflico.
"I will take," declared tho general, "I
will take 10 cents' worth of yeast."
The youth looked his surprise, then
called out to Bostub, "Tho gentleman
wants 10 cents' worth of yeast, father."
"Then why don't you give the gentle
maju what he wants and not bo shouting
to mo? It's cakes he wants, of course,"and
Bostub went on with his talk with tho
bookkeeper.
"I'll havo to step around to the bakery
lor them. You see, wo haven't that many
in tho shop," said tho boy. "I'll bo back
in a moment." and ho denartcd.
Tho proprietor, having finished his talk, J
walked slowly forward. i mo day, sir.
Boy stepped out for jour cakes. Why

face as his own flushed scarlet with excite
ment, "it's the eeneral!" and, so saying.
1 ho squared his. shoulders, drew his heels
j together and mado a formal salute, while
The man whom ho most loved nnd hon-
orcd of all men on earth stood before him.
In those few seconds ho Knew perfectly
well, from tho appearance and bearing of
his old commander, that ho .was poverty
stricken
"Asking tho general's pardon, wasn't
the yeast what wo used to call a rooster?"
"A whatf"
"Why, that thing that's all fair lit war,
but a thundering cheat any other time."

cakes) "Keep them to sell again. Tele

into my office or, I should say, the gen
eral's office, "fwas the general gave me
my start by what ho taught mo. I have
never been slack, never beeu lazy, never
borrowed apy money."
Tho general felt that these last words
had been thrown out as skirmishers to
bar an advance on Bostub's treasury, and
tho officer felt his' heart sink as ho remem
bered how, years ago, ho had thought a
borrower an object of contempt and fur
ther romembered that Bostub had heard
him say so more than onco.
When tho carriage came, the grocer es
corted his guest to tho sidewalk and,
opening the door, slammed it as the gen
eral took his seat and sprang upon the
box by tho driver, who regarded him with
great respect and wondered what all this
meant.
When they were seated in the handsome
dining room at a luncheon that had been
ordered by telephone from the store, Bos
tub took all the talk on himself. His na
tive sagacity had been developed by his
strugglo for wealth, his mind seemed to
work not through a chain of logic, but to
jump all chasms and alight on tho precise
spot at the precise moment.
"You don't need, sir, to tell mo about
yourself. Ynu 6ec, tho newspapers havo
kept mo Informed. You nre a public man.
As you Eajfc you nro on your way east, and
you shall go on the evening train if you
insist. Havo you bought your tickets? I
hope not, for I can get you a pass through.
Ko? Excuso me, then, for a moment,''
nnd he loft tho room and telephoned to his
oflico to send over and buy a through
ticket for New York, with a section in the
sleeper.
"I have prospered," he said, seating
himself again," "and It's mostly through
what tho general taught me. Prospered
about money and those things, but tost
my wlfo. Havo two boys, ono you saw at
the shop, one a kid up stairs. Oh, but tho
old days, 6ir, when I was a raw recruit
and standing on my rights under tho Dec
laration of Independence and the constitu

eral knocked that out of mn and brought
mo to my bearings But for that I might
now be a loafer on tho street corner, cry
ing for my rights, nero's tho kid. Saluto
tho general, Bob."
The 0-ycar-old hoy ran to his father,
who took him affectionately on his knee.
"He knows both them immortal instru
ments by heart tho constitution nnd tho
Declaration. I'epeat the Declaration of
Independence in I've taught It to you.
Bob."
"When in tho course of human events
it becomes necessary for ono erson to
obey another's ordcrs,thoquickerho obeys
them tho better."
"Good for that," said tho father. "Xow
tho constitution of the' United Stales."
"We, tho peoplo of tho United States,
havo a right to all wo oarn and full liberty
to obey tho laws of our country.".
"I find," 6aid Bostub, releasing tho
child, "that tho supremo court of tho
United States sustains thoso views evory
time, and now, if tho general is to tako
that train, 'tis thno to bo on tho way to
tho station. It's n long time einco I

When the general, seated in the luxuri
ous car, opened the package, he found a
wad of bank bills and a scrap of paper, on
which In pencil were the words: "Iunder

At the age of 45 he was old and was not
retry, llewas-bald. His fare was thiu
Mid meager, though his waNt measure-
inent was eiten-ie. His memory played
him tricks, and his gait was a Mttlo curi-
ous. The doctor, who had just driven
kway in his brougham, found him inter-
rsting as a conglomeration of disease:
hut did not re-iiccr him. Ho was coming
rapidly to the end of hi-, luxurious though
somewhat ui-iinlcrly life. 1 here was no

two plain nieces kept his house for him
and would inherit it when ho died. They
I found hhn occasionally IkicI tempered and
Hlways a little eccentric, but put up with
it because he wns so ill. Whenever ha
called one by tho name of the other or for
got both names as sometimes happened
nowadays, tliey slipped out of the room,
giggled in their handkerchiefs in the pas
sage and came back with their faces com
posed. This afternoon after the doctor had gono
he sat contentedly smiling atthefire. He
had been told that in all probability he
would not last much longer, and on tho
whole ho was heartily glad of it. Suicide
would be scandalous he did not dream of
it but death was welcome enough. Aft
er all, there was no more fun to bo had.
lie decided to set about his preparations
for leaving.
lie found Kthel in tho drawing room
She was tbe elder of the two nieces..
"I want you to get my keys for me, A'g-.
ties," ho said. "Bring them to the study. "
Sho vanished to get the keys and ui
laugh because shs had been called Agnes
by mistake. When she got back to tho
study, he had dragged out an old deed box
which sKjod in one corner of the room and
placed it beside his chair i'n front of the
Are. "Unlock it," ho said.
"Which key?" she asked.
"Don't know."
She tried several, unlocked it and was
about to raise tho lid.
"Leavo it alouel" ho snapped out,
"You can go. Don't interrupt mo for a
couplo of hours. I shall bo" bu-y. "
When she had gone, he opened the box
and began on the letters first. The box
belonged to his Borneo period, which had
been exces-ivo and variegated The old
wreck had been handsome onco. Some of j
the letters ho read. How all these wo-.
men had adored him for a time, or half
a time! They were unquestionably letters
which he did not intend to leave behind t
him for the perusal of the girls. Soon the ,
big fireplace was a mas of charred paper.
Ho observed, making tho experiment for
the first time in his life, that a woman's
satin shoe does not burn well. Hair, on tho
other hand, burns excellently. The black
hair he remeinberd distinctly. That i
was Dora's. Emily's Had Deen ilai-K, nut
uot so t'ark as that. Dora Wns - aisoointeil

recognized that the lump of decayed vege-,

wound 1 ad been riverside forgotmenots. j
xcs, ne I'ati loveu ner witn a great pari
of his heart for nearly six weeks-. The red
hair, frankly red, was Kitty's. What
wonderful skins, ho thought to himself,
theso red haired women had ! He looked
anxiously in tho box to sco If there were
any moro letters of Kitty's left by chance.
Thev were letters which, more than the
rent, nreded the ordeal of tiro. What a fool
her husband was and what a pity it was
that she drank! Bah! the whole thing
disgusted him. Every souvenir was full
of poison, and the remainder of the con
tents of tho deed box were pitched on tho
lire in handfuls without further examina
tion. .When all the rest was burned, a lit
tlo envelope, which had fluttered away on
tho floor by itself, attracted his attention.
"Ho picked it up. In it was a curl of ab
solutely golden hair. Xow whose, ho
thought to himself, could that havo been?
At this moment Ethel opened tho door
and said brightly, "I've brought you your
beef tea, uncle."
"Gitoutl" said uncle,
When she hod vanished, he resumed his
examination of that fascinating golden
curl. It was not Marian's. She had light
hair, but hers was stralghter and not such
a deep gold. Besides, he had burned Mar
ian's hair already whh the letter which
had accompanied it when sho sent it to
him. Gould it have been anybody that he
met abroad? He had traveled a good deal
when ho got tired of English women, but
at that period, ho remembered, he had
found it impossible to fall in lore except
with tho mystic typo with dark hair and
eyes. It was a pretty curl. The hair was
like spun silk, and, unliko tho other sou
venirs that ho had destroyed, it did not
awaken 1 n'him tho least feeling of disgust.
It must havo been some rare idyl, possibly
tho one piece of poetry in a llfo which had
leen grossly materialistic
Ho spent a good deal of timo in tho
courso of tho next few weeks in meditat
ing over that curl of golden hair, and ho
imagined things about it. Ten minutes
later he would forgot whothcr ho had im
agined them or whether they had really
hnpponcd. Ho was getting into a shock
ing condition. Ho somewhat accelerated
his "Heath by neglecting tho prohibitions of
his doctor. Ho knew that in any caso it
was a matter of weeks, so he had tho
champagno and tho old port nnd tho very,
vory old brandy, and broko tho graduated
glass, and refused pills and farinaceous
puddings. Ho had just helped himself
liberally to StrasPburg pato when death
took tho plate away.
Ethel and Agnes, who did not keep on
crying when they were quite alone, were
looking over tho papers thoy had found in
his pockets and canio ncrcss the curl of
golden hair in tho envelope.
"I know that envelope," said Agnes;
"that is tho fcort grandmamma always
uses."
"Oh, yes," said Ethel, "and thero is the
hair! Don't you reniimber, sho sont it to
him for fun about n month ago? Just
imagine that when ho wns a littlo boy of
J ho had curls like that!"
"Hello!" said Agnes. "What ii this
he had written on tho envelope?"
Iu an exceedingly shaky hand were tho
words:
"Whom ulono I really loved."
"Oh, ho was too eccentric!" said Ethel.

Ho was not Dr. Marlin, however, but
Jlr. Tan ilacrlen of Dutch Guiana, when
fee first descended upon J-ittle Pcddlington
tonic 50 years ago as a student in its well
known technical school, armed with lct-r
I trs from his father's Hornn ntfpnt that
admitted him to Little Peildlington's first
, tocicty. -And tho first society of Little
Pedillhigton was really high society in
I IIioec days. Its young men wcro gentle-
I men of wealth and leisure, who made the
grand tour in the KnirlNh style and cou-
i traded high life debt- on a currc-ponding

tho ladies. .No one u them ever leu In

were too white, his cynicism was too cyn

Then there was his nose, the most extraor

Tho rich Dutch planter father had sent
this son to Little Pcddlington s institute
to become a civil engineer in order to
have tho big plantations down thero in
Dutch Guiana run on scientific principles,
but, instead of studying, the son spent the
four years' course carousing with the rich
and idle young men with whom Ins let
ters had tin-own him. And when tho four
years wcro up instead of a diploma the
father's reward was a big bundle of I. O.
U.'s to pay.
Xaturally the father was furious, but ho
came nobly to the scratch, sending on the
money to pay tho prodigal's debts of
".honor," along with the peremptory com
mand that tho prodigal himself should re
turn on a certain ship sailing out of Bos
ton or never. Instead of paying his debts
with tho money sent him he gambled It
away. After which ho made his exit from
Little 1'eddllngton's 6ocial swim on a
purse mado up by the coterio of young
men with whom he had caroused and who
had had enough of him to bo willing to '
pay a good round sum to get hint olf their .
hands on that now or never ship from '
Boston for Dutch Guiana.
A year later ono of thou pur-o makers,
a buy young doctor with a wffe and tho
besiniiingrf of a family to work for, was j
sitting witli them at his supper table ,
t wneu an .iiacricu sraiKcu in unneramcti
- iJinuJnnniiounecu,
'you, "Van Miierlen?" cried tho aston
ished doctor.
"If you please, doctor, my name is 31ar
lin now; Dr. Marlin."
Tho real doctor n, an en-y going man.
Ho accepted the situation and allowed
Jlarlin to stay on in hiB house and help !
him in his ollice, where the latter thus got
a certain knowledge of .the profession!.
whoe title he'had assumed, but though-
JUarlin was careful to go out as llttlcashe
could before dark and though he avoided
all Van Mncrlcn's former haunts it was
inevitable that j-onto time that should hap
pen which did. The real doctor was a
busy man. Ho hadn't mil -h timo for go,
ing'arouud with "tho boys," but ho was
popular with them, and the greatest elo
gant amoug them was an intimate at his
house, so finally ono day this gentleman
dropped in as ho had a way of doing, self
imited, to a meal.
"tJibbetts.". said his host blandly, "Jet
mo introduce Dr. Marlin Dr. Marlin,
Mr. Olbbetts."
Gihbets bowed, glanced, started, stared.
But ho had not mado tho grand tour n
half dozen times for nothing. Ho was a
man of the world, and ho safe him down
without further ado nnd proceeded to
make himself agrecablo to Dr. Marlin
along with the others. Perhaps he enjoy
ed the new "doctor's" check, as the real
doctor had. At any rato, before the meal
was over ho put it to the test, buldly, de
liberately, but nicely, like tho gentleman
he was.
"Dr. Marlin," ho said, looking across
tho table full into tho unmistakable face,
with its unmistaknblo noso that no beard
could cover or disguise, "haven't I had tho
pleasure of meeting you somowhero bo
fore?" Tho real doctor and his young wife
could hear their own heart beats in the
paustO that ensued, during which the
quondam Van Macrlen stared ns deliber
ately and as broadly back at the man he
had known nnd who had known him so
well:
'Wo, sir; 1 do not recollect over having
had tho honor of meeting ou before."
Of course thero wcro only two things
for Gibbctts to do after that glvo tho Ho
or accept the situation as the real doctor
had. And of courso ho accepted tho situa
tion, and tho rest of the old set followed
suit In much the same spirit, which was
really a very flattering spirit for so small
a place as Little Pcddlington a spirit
quito cosmopolitan and cynical and amus
ed. And Dr. Marlin is living thero yet,
though almost all the othrrs aro dead, ek
ing out a scanty living with his assumed
profession and borrowing from tho real
doctor's son, who is looking forward with
a grim sort of humor, too, to tho time
when ho will probably havo to prorido for
"poor old Marlin" altogether. New York

His Dreams,

when there came a knock at his door and
thcroontered a young lady, whose cll
fcarcely concealed the dancing light of tho

"Is Minn. Itamcau inr" she nkcd.
"Mmo.Itamc.iu? Sholhes in tliell.it'

The nerves of the human body act
as messengers to convey to the brain
impressions of outward effects, and
to convey from the brain to the mus
cles and organs nerve force or vital
power. Without this vital power
the heart, stomach, lungs, bowels,
and till organs of the body would be
unable to perform their functions
and life would cease. "When these
messengers become deranged or the
supply of nerve force is depleted, the
best remedy to restore tliein to. their
i normal condition is Dr. Miles' Be
1 storative Nervine. It creates a goQtl
j appetite, gives refreshing sleep, and
I cures that tired feeling. It ac'.s on
the nervous system, which controls
all the processes of the body, toning
it up into sound and vigorous action.
It overcomes the excessive wasting
and puts back the lost flesh.

"Vu wcte in search of Mine. I'ame.iu?"
queried Kills.
"Yes; you'ro a queer substitute, aren't

out. "I am taking lessons in deportment

"Yes, to my co-t. I can hear the pupils

"If you aro the camel, I'm afraid I

my fault."
"May I ask whose, then?"
"I'm going to be married," sho said
bluntly.
"Married? Tho dickens you arol"
She nodded her pretty head.
"Well, I'm not interested in that. On
the. contrary"
"It gives you a little pain, you mean?"
she said, filling up tho sentence ho had
left uncompleted. "Well, I'm glad that
an old comrade can sympathize."
"Who is the happy man?" ho nsked.
"There, again, you'd no-icr guess. A
colonel! Aren't you going to offer your
congratulations?"
"You nsked for my sympathies just
now."
"That wnsonly to soften the blow," sho
siUd .plqunntly. "You see, tho colonel
wants mo to bo a lady. Of courso I was

portment, and putting tho h's in their
right place, and and all that. But, dear
ino! I must ho going. I will come iu
and sco you again 1-cforo It's settled, if I
may."
In another minuto or two he could hear
her inerry.lniigli up stairs. Pho was evi
dently explaining to Mine. Bamcau her
mistake. In nnothcrflveminuteshocould
hear tho thrumming of the piano, with
pauses between. Then ho heard the pat
tering of fert, nnd in imagination followed
one lithe, graceful form as it skipped
around tho room. Then ho fell to dream
ing again.
Kate Habiiio was the niece of an old
nurse who had been connected with his
family. As children they had Indeed been
"comrades." They fished together, play
ed cricket together, played marbles, spun
tops nnd raced together. When a boy, ho
thought her perfection.
Onco he remembered giving her his own
favorite penknife. It had only a broken
blade, but gloried in a piece of Geriunn sil
ver nn tho handle. On this ho had scratch
ed her name, "Kate," in his best hand
writing. Then he remembeied a long interview
between his mother and the old nurse, and
after that Kato had disappeared.
He saw her again after a long interval
when he had ilnishcd his college course.
Then hu received a rude awakening.
There was the samo bright, dimpled lace,
the same pretty turn of the. head, but bo
noticed queer . agarics of speech gram
matical discrepancies which shocked his
sensitive car.
Now ho had been again awakened. Kate
was a diamond after all, if it rough one.
A colonel had not disdained tlio prize
which ho had relinquished.
"Two months had lussyd when thero
caiuo it gentle knock at the door.
"May I comoin?"
It was Kate!
"l'niv sit down," ho said.

By bringing sound, refreshing
