I never beard the critics accuse Em

Unluckily I encountered the famous
rongstress at a time when she had lost
foOO by the rascality, ns she expressed
it. of a St Paul manager; also, as it
happened, Mile. Clementine de Vere
was on the programme, strong in her
possession of a fresh young voice that
thrilled audiences in aria or. ballad and
won applause of the spontaneous sort
lhat critics call ovation. Mine. Jnch re
ceived the applause, but not thg ova

happy Hearing that the fair warbler had
Eustained a financial reverse, the editor
af the Minneapolis Journal naturally
wanted to know all about it for pub
lication, and I happened to be detailed
for the interview. Mme. Jnch was at
the West hotel I sent up iny card, and
despite the somewhat unseasonable
hour it was scarcely half past 10 in

Just as 1 was about to enter the ele
vator a reporter for another afternoon

new man, an excellent fellow, but, as
it seemed to me. somewhat lacking in
finesse
"I'm going up to see Emma." he
said. "Where are jou going?"
"Same errand," 1 replied ."We'd
better tackle her one at a time, hadn't
we?"
"Lord, no!" he responded. "We'll
both go in at once. You do the talking,
and I'll take notes."
The plan didn't suit me very well,
but there seemed no help for it. As we
entered the apartment, Mme. Jnch
rose from her lounging chair and took
a step rorwara. sue was aitirea in
E0ine6ortof loose, white morning gown,
with a dash of color here and ,there that
made the thing look as if it cost SI, 000.
My companion gasped and subsided on
a horsehair settee near the door.
Mme. Jnch appeared majestic, statu

cold very cold. She bade'me be seated
in a refrigerated tone and asked to

A qneer noise reached me from the
direction of the settee, and I supposed
the other fellow was swinging his arms
to keep warm, but I dared not look
around. t
In as few words ,as possible I ex

a few mild remarks indicative of my

soulless scoundrel, who ought to be.

It is entirely unnecessary to recapit

over the conditions of her contract and
described the treatment to which she
had been subjected with some little ap

really seemed to be thawing wlien that

I shall never forget the expression of
acnte nausea that enshrouded the usual

artiste as she turned, with a cold, stony
gaze a gaze that would- freeze liquid

carefully focussed the other man with
her lorgnette. I saw the other man
shrink fearfully. Ho looked just about
a tight fit for a bantam's egg when the
lorgnette landed.
"Good gracionsl" said Mme. Jnch in
a pained way "Do you er know

"Never saw him before in my life, '

but the'paper wanted an interview, and
I hadn't half finished
"Would you er mind leaving the

the other fellow "Perhaps a detective

added as the other fellow escaped.
I indorsed the opinion and went on
with the interview, which lasted an

out and hunted the other man, intend

"Oh, never mind doing tbatl" she

"No. ," promptly replied the clerk,

At 10 o'clock she came again. The

believe that she had left her room. So,
after looking about the parlors in vain,
she went to the door of No. and soft

"The Poverty of Rome.
There is a terrible poverty in Rome,
of which the beggars who await you at
every street corner are but too genuine
a bign The first gesture learned by the
children of poor people in Rome is to
hold out their hands for alms. They be
gin when they are so young that they
can only totter, and they are still hold

can only totter because they are so old
Yet another sign of it I find in the

on their boxes, in their worm eaten fur
coats, too lazy to do anything but sit
there holding out their whips to solicit
every passer and unable to make a de

MATRIMONIAL tNIGMAS.
Queer RelntloiiHhlns Resulting From
Some Recent Imliu,iiil MarrlEe.
There are more freak matrimonial
complications ir ijuliana to the square
mile than in any other section of th
country. Cupid, in his operations
through Indiana, seems to have been
afflicted with a most aggravated case of
blind staggers.
Justice W. W. Strader has just united
in marriage Russell Debnsk and Miss
Ella Bevars, and William Bevars and
Miss Alphia Debnsk. Miss Bebusk is
the daughter of Russell Dehusk, and
William Bevars is a brother of De
bnsk's bride. A qneer relationship is
the result Bevars' own .sister is natu
rally his mother-in-law, and his father-in-law
is also his brother-in-law. De
busk's daughter becomes Ins sister-in-law.
Mrs. Debusk is the stepmother
and sister-in-law of Mrs. Bevars. Mrs.
Bevars, being her father's sister, is con
sequently an aunt nnto herself, while
Debnsk, being his daughter's brother,
.must necessarily be his own father. In
case there is issue the child might be
its own grandparent or tho grandparent
of its own father, while if this was car
ried out another generation it might
easily be deduced that the child was
never born
But this case is hardly as remarkable
as one which has come to light at Dills
boro. David Gray married his grand
daughter by a former marriage. It
would appear tbat the ,Griys believe
in odd marriages, for Gray-s father mar
ried his stepdaughter, whose mother was
nn annt of the piesent wife. Now the
question of relationship comes up.
These two queer matrimonial ventures
encircle themselves so often when the
pencil is applied to the problem that by
tracing it out it is very easy to figure
all paities off the earth
Oser the Hue, in Ohio county, a man
named Miller mariied a widow who had
a grown up daughter His father fell in
love with the stepdaughter. The father
became the son's son-iu-law and the
stepdaughter became his mother Re
cent! the son's wife had a child. The
child was Miller's father's brother-in-law
and Miller's own uncle, for ho was
a brother cf his stepdaughter. Miller's
father's wife his stepdaughter also
had a son, who was, of course, Miller's
brother.and incidentally Miller's grand
child, for be was the son of Miller's
daughter. Thus Miller's own wife was
his mother's mother and Miller became
his wife's grandchild at the same time.
And then, to top the whole thing off, as
the husband of his grandmother he was
his own grandfather. St. Louis Globe

The Dangers of Monopoly, Ililllnm
nnd Infidelity Pointed Ont Curi
tlnnlty the Pillar or the ntion'
Strength nnd Perpetuity.
Copyright. Louis Klopsch, 1533.
Washington, May 2s. In this dis
course Dr. igplmage speaks of seme of
the perils that threaten our American
institutions and points out the path of
safety ; text, Isaiah lxii, 4, -"Thy land
shall be married."
As the greater inclndes the Itss, so
does the circle of future joy around our
entire world include the epicycle of our
own republic Bold, exhilarant, unique,
divine imagery of the text. At the close
of a week in which for three dajs our
national capital was a pageant, and all
that grand review and bannered pro
cession and national anthejns could do
celebrated peace, it may not be inapt
to anticipate the time when the Prince
of Peace and the Heir of Universal Do
minion shall take possession of this na
tion and "thy land shall be married."
In discussing the final destiny of this
nation, it makes all the difference in
the world whether we areon the way to
a funeral or a wedding. The Bible
leaves no doubt on this subject. In pul
pits and on platforms nnd in places of
public concourse T hear so many of the
muffled drums of evil prophecy sonnded,
as though we were on the way to na
tional interment, and beside Thebes
and Babylon and Tyre in the cemetery
of dead nations our republic was to be
entombed, thar I wish you to under
stand it is not to be obsequies, bnt nup
tials; not mansoleum. but carpeted al
tar; not cypress, but orange blossoms;
not requiem, but wedding march, for
"thy land shall be married."
I propose to name some of the suitors
who are claiming the hand of this re
public This land is so fair, so beauti
ful, so affluent that it has many suitors,
and it will depend much upon your ad
vice whether this or that shall be ac
cepted or rejected. In the first place, I
remaik: There is a gieedy, all grasping
monster who conrc in as suitor seeking
the hand of this republic, and tbat
monster is known by the name of mo
nopoly. Sis scepter is made out of the
Iron of the rail track and tho wire of
telegraphy. He does everything for his
own advantage and for the robbery of
the people.
Things went on from bad to worse
until in the three legislatures of New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
for a long time monopoly decided every
thing. If monopoly favor a law, it
passes; if monopoly opposes a-law it is
rejected. Monopoly stands in the fail
road depot putting into his pockets in
one year '200, 000. 000 in excess of all
reasonable charges fcr services. Mo
nopoly holds in his one hand the steam
power of locomotion and in the other
tho electricity of swift communication
Monopoly has the Republican party in
one pocket and the Democratic party
in tho other pocket. Monopoly decides
nominations and elections city elec
'tjons, state elections, national elections.
With bribes he secures the votes cf
legislators, giving them free passes,
giving appointments to needy relatives
to lucrative position, employing them
as attorneys if they are lawyers, carry
ing their goods 15 per cent less if they
are merchants, and if be find a case
very stubborn as well as very important
puts down before him the hard cash of
bribery.
Not Easily Overthrown.
Bnt monopoly is not so easily caught
now as when during the term of Mr.
Buchanan the legislative committee in
one of our states explored and exposed
tho manner in which a certain railway
company had obtained a donation of
public land. It was found out that 13
of the senators of that state ieceived
175,000 among them, GO members of
the lower house of that state received
between 5,000 and 10,000 each, the
governor of that state received 50,000,
his clerk received 5,000, the lieutenant
governor received 10,000, all the clerks
of the legislature received 5,000 each
while 50,000 were divided among the
lobby agent". That thing en a larger or
smaller scale is all the time going on in
some of the states in the union, but it
is not so blundering as it used to be,
and therefore not so easily exposed or
arrested. I tell you that the overshad
owing curse of the United States today
is monopoly. He puts his hand upon ev
ery bushel cf wheat, upon every sack of
salt, upon every ton of coal, and every
man. woman and child in the United
States feels the touch of that moneyed
despotism I rejoice that in 24 states of
the union already antimonopoly leagues
have been established. God speed them
in the work of liberation.
I have nothing to say against capital
ists. A man has a right to all the mon
ey he can make honestly I have noth
ing to say against corporations as such;
without them no great enterprise would
be possible, but what I do say is that
the same principles are to be applied to
capitalists and to corporations tbat are
applied to the .poorest man and the
plainest laborer. What is wrong for me
is wrong for great corporations. If 1
take from you your property without
any adequate compensation, I am a
thief, and if a railway damages the
property of the people without making
any adequate compensation, that is a
gigantic theft. What is wrong on a
small Ecale is wiong on a largo scale
Monopoly in England has ground hun
dreds of thonsands of her best people
into semistarvation and in Ireland has
driven multitudinous tenants almost to
madness and in the United States pro
poses to take the wealth of 00.000,000
or 70.000.000 of people and put it in a
few silken wallets
Monopoly, brazen faced, iron finger
ed, vulture heai ted monopoly offers his
hand to this republic He stretches it
ont over the lakes and up the great
railroads and over the .telegraph poles
of tho continent and says, "Here is ray
heart and-hand; be mine forever." Let
the millions of the people north, south,
east and west foibid the banns of that
marriage, forbid them at tho ballot
box, forbid them on the platform, for
bid them by gieat organizations, for
bid them by the overwhelming senti
ment of an outraged nation, forlnd
them by the protest of the church of
God, forbid Item by prayer to high
heaven. That Herod shall not have this
Abigail. It shall not be to nil devour
ing monopoly that this laud is to be
married.
AnotherBuitorclalmiug tho hand of
this repnblic is nihilism
The Menace of Mhilinnl.
He owns nothing but a knife for uni
versal cutthroatery and a nitroglycerin
bomb for universal explosion. He be
lieves in no God, no government, no
heaven and no hell except what he can
make on earth I He slew the czar of
Rnssia, keeps many a king practically
imprisoned, killed Abraham Lincoln,
would put to death every king and
president on earth, and if he had the
power would climb up until he cculd
drive the God of heaven from his throne
and take it himself, the universal
butcher. In France it is called com
munism; in the United States it i
called anarchism , in Russia it is called
nihilism, bnt tbat last is the most
graphic and descriptive term. It means
complete and eternal smash up. It
woald make the holding of property a
crime, and it would drive a dagger
through your heart and put a torch to
to your dwelling and tmn over "this
whole land into the possession of theft
and lust and rapine and mnrder
Where does this mo?ter live? In all
the towns and cities of this land. It
offers its hand to this fair repnblic. It
proposes to tear to pieces the ballot
box, the legislative hall, the congres
sional assembly It would take this
land and divide it up, or rather divide
it down. It would give as much to the
idler as to the worker, to the bad as to
the good. Nihilism I This panther, hav
ing prowled across other lands, has set
its paw on our soil, and it is only wait
ing for the time in which to spring
upon its prey. It was nihilism that
burned the railroad property at Pitts
burg during the gieat riots; it was ni
hilism that slew black people in our
northern cities during the war; it was
nihilism tbat mauled to death the Chi
nese immigrants years ago: it is nihil
ism that glares ont of the windows of
the drtnkeries upon" sober people as
they go by Ah 1 Its power has never
yet been tested I pray God its power
may never be fully tested. It would, if
it had the power, leave every church,
chapel, cathedral, schoolhouse and col
lege in ashes.
Let me say it is the woist enemy of
the laboring classes in any country.
The honest cry for reform lifted by op
pressed laboring men is drowned ont by
the vociferation for anarchy. The
criminals and the vagabonds who range
through our cities talking about their
rights, when their first right is the
penitentiary if they could Be hushed
up and the downtrodden laboring men
of this country could be heard there
would be more bread for hungry chil
dren In this land riot and bloodshed
never gained any wages for the people
or gathered np any prosperity. In this
land the best weapon is not the club,
not the shillalah. not firearms, but the
ballot Let not our oppressed laboring
men be beguiled to coming under the
bloody banner of nihilism. It will make
your taxes heavier, your wages smaller,
your table scantier, your children hun
grier, your suffering greater. Yet this
nihilism, with feet red of slapghter,
comes forth and offers its hand for this
repnblic. Shall the banns be proclaimed!
If to, where shall the marriage altar
be? And who will be the officiating
priest? And what will be the music?
That altar will have to be white with
bleached skulls, the officiating priest
must be a dripping assassin, the music
must be the smothered groan of multi
tudinous victims, the garlands must be
twisted of nightshade, the fruits must
be apples cf Sodom, the wine must be
the blood cf St. Bathclomew's massacre
No! It is not to nihilism, the sanguin
ary monster, that this land is to be
married.
Dimmer From Infidelity.
Another suitor for the hand of thie
nation is infidelity When the midnight
ruffians despoiled the grave of A. T.
Stewart in St. Mark's chnrchyard,
everybody was shocked, bat infidelity
proposes something worse than that
the robbing of all the graves of Chris
tendom of the hope of a resurrection.
It proposes to chisel out from the tomb
stones of your Christian dead the
words,-"Asleep In Jesus" and substi
tute the words, "Obliteration annihi
lation." Infidelity proposes to take the
letter frqm the world's Father, inviting
the nations to virtue and happiness and
tear it up into fragments so small that
you cannot read a word of it. It pro
poses to take the consolation from the
broken hearted and the soothing pillow
from the dying. Infidelity proposes to
swear in the president of the United
States and the supreme court and the
governors of states and the witnesses in
the courtroom with their right hand on
Paine's "Age of Reason" or Voltaire's
"Philosophy of History." It proposes
to take away from this country the book
that makes the difference between the
Dnited States and the kingdom of Da
homey, between American civilization
and Bornesian cannibalism If infideli
ty could destroy the Scriptures, ii
would in 200 years turn the civilizec"
nations back to semibarbarism, and
then from semibarbarism into midnight
savagery until the morals of a menag
erie of tigers, rattlesnakes and chim
panzees would be better than the morals
of the shipwecked human race.
The only impulse in the right direc
tion that this world has ever had has
come from the Bible. It was the mother
of Roman law and of healthful juris
prudence. That book .has been tho
mother of all reforms and all charities
mother of English magna charta and
American Declaration of Independence.
Benjamin Franklin, holding that Holy
Book in his hand, stood before an in
fidel club in Paris and lead to them out
of the prophecies of Ilabakknk, and
the infidels, not knowing what book it
was, declared it was the best poetry
they had ever heard. That book brought
George Washington down on his knees
in tho snow at Valley Forge and led tho
dying Prince Albert to ask some one to
sing "Rock of Ages."
I tell yon that the worst attempted
crime of tho century is tho attempt to
destroy this book. Yet infidelity, loath
some, stenchful, leptpus, pestiferons,
rotten monster, stretches out its hand,
ichorous with the second death, to tako
the hand of this republic. It stretches
it ont through seductive magazines, and
through lyceum lectures and through
caricatures of religion. It asks for all
that part of the continent already fully
settled, and the two-thirds not yet oc
cupied. It says- "Givo mo all cast of
the Mississippi, with tho keys of tho
church and with tho Christian printing
presses then givo me Wyoming, givo
me Alaska givo mo Montana, give mo
Colorado, givo me all the states west of
the Mississippi, and I will tako thoso
places and keep them by right of ddb-
session long before tbf gospel can be
frilly intrenched."
And this snifor presses his case ap
pallingly. Shall the banns of that mar
riage be proclaimed? "No I" say the
home missionaries of the west, a martyr
band of whom the world is not worthy,
toiling amid fatigues and malaria and
starvation. "No! not if we can help it
By what we and our children have suf
fered, we forbid the banns of that mar
riage!" "No!" say all patriotic voices,
"our institutions were bonght at too
dear a price and were defended at too
great a sacrifice to be so cheaply sur
rendered." "No!" says the God of
Bunker Hill and Independence hall and
Gettysburg, "I did not start this nation
for such a farce." "No!" cry 10,000
voices, "to infidelity this land shall not
be married!"
Christ ns the BritleBroom.
But there is another suitor that pre
sents his claim for the hand of this re
public. He is mentioned in the verse
following my text where it says, "As
the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,
so shall thy God rejoice ever thee." It
is not my figure it is the figure of the
Bible. Christ is so desirous to have this
world love him that he stops at no-humiliation
of simile. He compares his
grace to spittle on the eyes of the blind
man. He compares himself to a hen
gathering the chickens, and in my text
he compares himself to a suitor begging
a hand in marriage. Does this Christ,
the king, deserve this land ? Behold Pi
late's hall and the insulting expectora
tion on the face of Christ. Behold the
Calvarean massacre and the awful
hemorrhage of five wounds. Jacob serv
ed 14 years for Rachel, but Christ, my
Lord, the king, snffered in torture 33
years to win the love of this world. As
often princtsses at th'eir very birth are
pledged in treaty of marriage to princes
or kings of earth, so this nation at its
birth was pledged to Christ for divine
marriage. Before Columbus and hia
120 men embarked on tho Santa Maria,
the Pinta, and the Nina, for their won
derful voyage, what was the last thing
they did? They sat down and took the
holy sacrament of the Lord Jesus Christ.
After they caught the first glimpse of
this country and the gun of one ship
had announced it to the other vessels
that land Lad been discovered, what
was the song that went up from all the
three decks? "Gloria in excelsis. " Aft
er Columbus and his 120 men had step
ped from the ship's- deck to the solid
gronnd, what did they do? They all
knelt and consecrated tho new world to
God. What did the Huguenots do after
they landed in theCarolinasJ What did
the Holland refugees do after they had
landed in New York? What did the
pilgrim fathers do after they landed in
New England? With bended knee and
uplifted face and heaves besieging pray
er, they took possession of this continent
for God. How was the first American
congress opened? By prayer, in the
name of Jesus Christ. From its birth
this nation was pledged for holy mar
riage with Christ.
And then see how good God has been
to us I Just open the map of the con
tinent and Eee how it is "shaped for im
measurable prosperities. Navigable riv

The Immigration Question,
We have ueen turning an important
leaf in the mighty tome of our national
history. One year at the gates of this
continent over 500,000 emigrants arriv
ed I was told by the commissioners of
emigration that tho probability was
that in that one year 600,000 emigrants
would arrive at the different gates of
commerce. Who were they ? the pau
pers of Europe? No. At Kansas City, I
was told by a gentleman, who had op;
portunity for large investigation, that
a great multitude had gone through
there, averaging in worldly estate S00.
I was told by an officer of the govern
ment, who had opportunity for authen
tic investigation, that thousands and
thousands had gone, averaging 1,000
in possession each. I was told by the
commission of emigration that 20 fami
lies that had recently arrived brought
85,000 with them. Ma.rk yon, fami
lies, not tramps. Additions to the na
tional wealth, not subtractions there
from I saw some of tHem reading their
Bibles and their hymn books, thanking
God for his kindness in helping them
cross the bea. Some of them had Christ
in the steerago all across tho waves,
and they will have Christ in the rail
trains which at 5 o'clock every after
noon start for tho great west. They are
being taken by the commission of emi
gration in New Yoik, taken from'the
vessels, protected from the Shylocks
and the sharper, and in the name of
God and humanity passed on to their
destination, and there they will tnrn
your wildernesses into gardens, if you
will build for them churches and estab
lish for them schools and send to them
Christian missionaries.

ing to be overcrowded with this popu
lation? Ah, that shows you have not
been to California, that liow3 you have
not been to Oreson. that shows that
yon have not been to Texas. A fishing
smack today on Lake Ontario might as
well be afraid of being crowded by
Other shipping before night as for any
one of the next ten generations of
Americans to be afraid of being over
crowded by foreign populations in this
country. The one state of Texas is far
larger than all the Austrian empire,
yet the Anstrian empire supports 35,
000,000 people. The one state of Texas
is larger than all France and France
supports 3G,000,000 people. The one
state of Texas far surpasses in size the
Germanic empire, yet the Germanic
empire supports 41,000,000 people. I
tell you the great want of tho western
states is more population.
While some people may stand at tho
gates of the city, saying, "Stay back!"
to foreign populations, I press out as
far beyond those gates as I can press
out beyond them and beckon to foreign
nations, saying, "Come, come, all ye
people who are honest and industrious
and God loving 1" But say you, "I am
so afraid that they will bring their
prejudices for foreign governments and
plant them here." Absurd. They are
sick of the governments that have op
pressed them and they want free Amer
ica ! Give them the great gospel of wel
come. Throw around them all Christian
hospitalities. They will add their in
dustry and hard earned wages to this
country, and'then we will dedicate all
to Christ and "thy land shall be mar
ried." But where shall the marriage
altar be? Let it be the Rocky moun
tains, . when, through artificial and
mighty irrigation, all, their tops shall
be covered, as tbey will be, with vine
yards and orchards and grainfields.
Then let the Bostonsand the New Yorks
and the Charlestons of the Pacific coast
come to the marriage altar on one side,
and then let the Bostons and the New
Yorks and the Charlestons of the At
lantic coast come to the marriage altar
on the other side, and there between
them let this bride of nations kneel,
and then if the organ of the loudest
thunders that ever shook the Sierra
Nevadas on the one side or moved the
foundations of the Alleghanies on tb9
other side should open full diapason of
wedding march, that organ of thunders
could not drown the voico of him who
would take the hand "of this bride of
nations, saying, "As a bridegroom re
joiceth over a bride, so thy God rejoic
eth over thee." At that marriage ban
quet the platters shail bo of Nevada sil
ver, and the chalices of California gold,
and the fruits of northern orchards, and
the spices of southern groves, and the
tapestry of American manufacture, and
tho congratulations from all the free
nations of earth and from all the tri
umphant armies of heaven, "And so
thy land shall be married."
A Dnzzllnir Array.
The hotel clerk tcld the following
story: Charles L. Davis, the actor, oth
erwise known as "Alvin Joslin," was
in the lobby of the St. Charles, in New
Orleans, when a man fiom Chicago
stepped in from, of him and looked over
his head in search of an acquaintance
that he supposed was in the hotel lobby.
Davis, mistaking the Chicago man's
purpose, remarked: "Ahl I see you ad
mire my diamonds. This one" indicat
ing the stone on his shirt bosom "cost
me 3,000. These" showing his cuff
buttons "cost me 2,500 each, and my
wife has a trunkful up in our room."
The Chicago man did not say much,
but that evening, by arrangement with
the head waiter, Davis was placed at
supper alone at a table where there
were several vacant chairs. Presently
several men, all commercial travelers,
entered the dining room, and each one
had a large cut glass fruit dish fastened
on his breast, while glass prisms hung
pendent from each coat and vest button.
Soberly marching to Davis' table, the
seven men took the vacant beats, and
the Chicago man entertained the actor
with: "Ah, I see you admire our dia
monds. This one" pointing to the
fruit dish "cost mo 3,000,000.
Theso" indicating the prisms "cost
250,000 each, and we have three car
loads like them at the depot waiting to
bo side tracked." JJavis not only chang
ed his table, but went to another hotel.

He 'Was Clean.
The advantage of a trained nurse'is
that she knows not only what to do,
but what not to" do, since" unnecessary
attentions merely exhaust the patient
The point is illustrated by the follow
ing story from an old Capo newspaper
of the time of the Zulu war, when
kindly but nninstructed ladies rushed
off in embarrassing numbers to give
their services at the military hospitals.
"What can I do" for you, my poor
fellow ?" asked one of the gentle nurses
of a snfferer.
"Nothing, thank you, miss."
"Not anything?" said the charming
visitor persuasively.
"I don't think so," murmured the
wounded man wearily.
"At least," she said mildly but firm
ly, "I can wash your face." She fetch
ed tho necessary materials and scoured
Mr. Atkins' rueful countenance.
"There!" she announced. "Now you
will teel nice and clean."
"I ought to, miss." said the soldier,
with a faint smile. "You're the ninth

While tho raising of swine is not ex
actly a poetical occupation, it is said to
be a paying one and one that would be
practicable for a woman to engage in.
"One of the most thoroughgoing.
capable business women of the day,"
says The Practical-Farmer, "is a breed
er of fine swine, and she has wen n
reputation that is enviable. She has
made thonsands of dollars from the
business and is proud of and enjoys
her work. Poultry and swine breeding
as a part of tho farm wife's business
ventures forjns both a happy and profit
able combination. Even the word 'hap
py,' she says, is well placed, for it is n
happy work caring for and owning
handsome sows nnd pretty, thrifty pigs,
lino bhotes nnd marketable hogs. Littlo
pigs, who asserts, are as lovable as baby
chicks, and through actual ownership
ono takes pride and comfort in watch
ing them grow ami looking to the com
forts nnd needs of tho entire swino
herd." New York Tribnne.
An Unfortunate Participle.
A recent discussion at a dinner tabic,
whether "gotten" or "got" wero the
preferable participle, received a practi
cal solution, at least for the telegraphic
service, from an experience related of a
college professor who preferred "got
ten." Ho had telegraphed to his tfife
"Have gotten tickets for the theater to
night. Meet me there."
The telegraph operator rendered this
into "Have got ten tickets." etc
Mrs. Professor was delighted with the
opportunity of entertaining her friends
and accordingly made up a party of
eight besides herself, whose greetings to
the professor at the rendezvous were
probably more cordial than his feeling
until matters were explained. He now
makes an exception to his customary
use of "gotten."
A Swift Bird.
The Mexican road runner has only
two short legs, bnt he can beat a horse,
a hound or an electric carriage and give
them a handicap start.
Speed is not his only recommenda
tion. He eats as he runs, or rather as
the things run away from him. Snakes
are the principal part of his diet, big
and little. His crop is as elastic as his
legs are swift, and when he wants to
prepare for a long journey he coils up a
rattler or two inside of his neck and
sets out across the Mexican desert with
a swiftness that makes it look like a
bunch of dust on a record breaking tour
around the world.
Wrinkles.
Even very young women are seen
with strongly marked wrinkles in the
forehead which they have acquired
through contracting the brows. A friend
tells me that these wrinkles will disap
pear under the following treatment:
Bind the forehead at night with a

ture of equal parts of alcohol and white
of egg. Allow the compress to remain
on all night and continue the treat
ment until the wrinkles have disappear

WORRY.
What This Foolish, Eneriutinfr Hab
it Dori For Mnnkind.
Worry, is forethought gone to seed.
Worry is discounting possible future
sorrows' so that tho individual may
have present misery. Worry is the fa
ther of insomnia. Worry ip the, traitor
in our camp that dampens our powder,
weakens our aim. " Under the guise of
helping us to bear the present and to
be ready for tho future worry multi
plies enemies within our mind to sap
our strength.
Worry is the dominance of the mind
by a single, vagne, restless, unsatisfied,
fearing and fearful idea. The mental
energy and force that should be concen
trated on the successive duties of the
day is constantly and surreptitiously
abstracted and absorbed by this one fix
ed idea. The full, rich strength of the
unconscious working of the mind, tbat
which produces our best success, that
represents our finest activity, is tapped,
led away and wasted on worry.
Worry must not be confused with
anxiety, though both words agree in
meaning originally, a "choking," or a
"strangling," referring, of course, to
the throttling effect upon individual
activity. Anxiety faces large issues of
life seriously, calmly, with dignity.
Anxiety always suggests hopeful possi
bility ; it is active in being ready and
devising measures to meet the outcome.
Worry is not one large individual sor
row ; it is a colony of petty, vague, in
significant, restless, imps of fear, that
become important only from their com
bination, their constancy, their itera
tion. William George Jordan in The
Saturday Evening Post.
Death of Heroes In Fiction.
It is astonishing what a human in
terest the reading pnblic takes in an
author's heroes and heroines. Mr.
Snowden Ward declares that when
Dickens was writing "The Old Curiosity
Shop" he was overwhelmed with letters
from the most distinguished men and
women begging him not to kill Little
NelL They declared it would be too
.cruel and waited on his verdict as an
anxious family on that of the physician.
Dickens did not care to do away with
her himself, but it was necessary that
he should do so. Little Nell was a char
acter with too little of the earth earthy
about her to assimilate with those
around her, no matter how well mean
ing tbey might have been. Her finer
feelings would have made her unhappy,
and the little country churchyard was
the best place for her.
And Thackeray. How he was im
plored not to kill Colonel Newcome.
How he was rated for reducing so noble
a man to poverty in his old age, while
the meaner mortals around him lived
and throve. Kipling had to give a set
ond version of his "The Light That
Failed" in order to please the public,
and who knows but Shakespeare was
chided for the unhappy taking off of
Lear and Cordelia? But the tmblic.
though soft hearted in the concrete, is
a flint in the abstract. It soaks its hand
kerchief with tears over the consump
tive cough of that shady Parisian Ca
roille and turns a nice homemade un
derstudy out on the cold world to cat
snowballs or cold potatoes." Louisville
Times.
On the AVronjr Sinn.
Bret Harte is so frequently compli
mented as the author of "Little Breech
es" that he in almost as sorry it was
ever written as is Colonel John Hay,
who would pi efer his fame to rest on
mere ambitions work. Agnshingyoung
lady, who prided herself upon her liter
ary tastes, said to him once:
"My dear Mr. Harte, I am so de
lighted to meet yon. I have read every
thing you ever wrote, but of all yont
dialeet verse there is none that com
pares to your 'Little Breeches.' "
"I quite agree with you, madam."
said Mr. Hatte, "but you have put the
little breeches on the wrong man."
