V i' ir. v:, r B, " 1 Tl . STORY THAT A DI'J J TTiN ON our 1' OUT. RELIGION DROUG. It Involved n Christian and un Infl del autl h 31 out llemarltiible Coinci dence, and the Nnrrutlve l'olnted a 31urul n Well. The question of rcliloa came up the other day In the Busy Men's Lunch club, ami old rarmesan, who Is senior warden of St. ' IYeunla's church aud therefore constitutes himself u de fender of the faith, rcniaiLed. "You may say what you like. Keiiticmeu, hut a religious man is mote a;t to help those who ueed it than un iuiidel." "I am a til in believer in Christiani ty," remarked IWImhi. who has made a million or so in the Swam)) during the last few years, "but I lake exception to that statement. When it comes to helping a fellow who Is down. It's about an even toss between a Chris tian and an inlidel. You doubt It?" he continued as he saw old Parmesan shake his head. "Well, to prove what I say I will jrlve you an episode In my owu life. 1 came to New York in 1S73 with no capital but a country made suit of clothes aud a common school education. I was a lank looking younx fellow, with hayseed' written all over me; but, like many another raw coun try lad, I was. irresistibly m traded to the city, where I soon expected to strike the combination that would lead to fortune and fame. Hut before long my main thought was to keep from Marvin.?. 1 could p't no work, and no body would listen to me when I asked for It. I tried to keep up my courage, but In my heart I would have given anything to be back ou the old farm again. "Well, one day I grew especially des perate. The papers were full of the triumphant success of 'Hilly, the Con verted Hum,' who was holding revivals all over the country. And I asked my self why I, a clean, decent young fel low, who had never been a 'bum,' should be allowed to starve, while Hilly' was living on the fat of the land. At first the wild thought came Into my head to start out, myself on a career of cr I mean of revivalism un der the name of 'Charley, the Con verted Hoy Fiend.' and rake in the shekels like Hilly. Hut somehow I fell I couldn't get down as low as that. A brilliant thought struck me, how ever. I would state the whole thing In an advertisement, more to relieve my feelings than with any hope of getting an answer. "So I scraped enough money together to Insert the following In one of the papers: If I were a drunken "bum" just taken out of the gutter, scores of kind religious people would stretch out a hand to help me. Hut as I am only a decent and self respecting young man. with no vices or bad habits. I am without work and starving in this great, cruel dry. Aud I added my Initials and address. ."The next day I called to see if there mght possibly be an answer and got two. The first one 1 opened read as follows: 1 was touched by your strange advertisement, as I myself was once in the same position. 1 found help through a noble Christian man. and If you will call and see me I will prove to you that there Is a Christian who Is able and willing to help you if you are worthy. Ask to see me personally, as I am sorry to say my partner Is an In fidel, and. though a good man. he might not be disposed to look at your case so kindly.' "My heart Jumped with Joy on read ing this kind letter, and for a little while I forgot the other one. But I soon opened It and read as follows: I was deeply stirred by the undertone of despair In your advertisement, as I was once as friendless as you are. I found a start In life through a noble man who. like myself, was an unbe liever. And If you will call and see me I will prove to you that there Is an unbeliever who Is both able and will ing to give you a start In life If you are worthy. Ask to see me personally, as my partner Is a Christian, and, though a good man. he might not be disposed to look ou your case kindly.' "Wonderful coincidence, wasn't It? But the most wonderful part of the story is yet to be told. These two men were partners. Kach one of them was trying to do a good deed without the knowledge of the other. "The end of the story? Well, that was Interesting and remarkable too. After trying In vain to decide to which of these two gentlemen I should make myself known I determined to see ' them together and read the two letters to them. I did so, and you ought to ; ipj'o seen the look of blank surprise rostame over the faces of both men tffrngist Earned that, though differing immitter In creed, they were at one In e threvdging the religion of humanl irage tuey were silent for a few mo tion lit nnd then the Christian, with York, m his eyes, grasped the hand of rebrtner nnd said: I J'J,.T .jjjotlicr. I have wronged you. for I 1 wre lonrned that, without knowing It. ,you are cot far from the kingdom of heaven.' 'It Is 1 who have wronged you,' ex claimed his partner, 'in assuming that you would not obey the teaching of your. Master to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. Let us hereafter live ur as brothers Indeed, even though we t may not be able to profess the same creed. And may the unknown God whom Ignorantly we worship accept us ' at the last.' These two good men gave me a start and were my dearest friends un t til they died. The moral of It all? Well, I think there Is more goodness In the world than can be enshrined In anj creed, however true." New York Tribune.

Canadians niV very touchy on tho ubject of climate, as Uudyard Klpiln discovered when he somewhat thought lessly dubbed the Dominion "Our Lady of the Snows." ,Wheu Arthur Stringer, the youug Canadian poet and author, first weut to Oxford, he carried with him letters from Professor Goldwlu Smith of Toronto to Professor York Powell, the distinguished historian of Chrlstchurch. The old Oxford don. like one or two other Fuglishmen. had very vague ! Ideas about Canada and somewhat sur-! prised the young stranger by Inquiring If he got along nicely on Imglish roast mutton after living so long on frozen seal meat. The young poet gravely protested that he perhaps missed his whale blubber a little, but the next day cabled home, and in less than a week the tlnest basket of autumn peaches ; ever grown In Ontario, carefully pack- ed In sawdust, was ou Its way to Ox-! ford. A short time afterward the young author was again dining with the reglus professor at Oxford, and that gentleman produced at the meal a fruit dish loaded with tremendous peaches. "Most extraordinary." said the old professor, "but these peaches were sent to me today, and I'm blessed If I know who sent them. From the south of France. I suspect, so I saved a few of them for you. Stringer. They will be such a novelty, you know." The Canadian very quietly took n steamship company's bill of lading from his pocket and handed It to the professor. The professor gazed at the bill, then at the fruit, then at the poet. "I had some whale blubber, too. pro fessor," said that young man. "but I simply had to rat that. These other things were grown on my une'e's farm In Kent comity, Ont.. you know. lie has H(K) bushels of them every year, and he sent me over a basket of little ones along with the whale blubber." Saturday Kvenlng Post. SALARIES OF OUR PLAYERS. The Tay of Actor Vnrle From 910 to am 31 lie h no Jpr.OO r Week. Franklin Fyles. writing of "The The ater and Its People" In The Ladles' Home Journal, touches Interestingly upon the earnings of actors and cor rects the oft repeated reports of the enormous earnings of players. Sala- j rles vary with circumstances," he says. 1 "The manager may lind at $-3 a week a player whose moderate talent exact ly tits a part of considerable Impor tance. He may have to pay $150 If the role Is singular and tit candidates scarce. If he wants celebrity in addi tion to ability, he may be willing to make the salary $500 a week. In. that case he takes Into account the public value of the name and makes a feature of it in his advertisements. "Not more than ten actors in Amer ica, aside from the stars, receive as much as $250 a week, and not more than live actresses are paid this amount. In fact, $150 a week Is excep tional, and $100 will engage an excel lent hero or heroine, a tine comedian or a delineator of eccentric character. The wages run down to $75 for a sou brette. Ingenue or old man. to $50 for an old woman. Juvenile man or juvenile woman, and so aloug to utility and chorus men and women at $1J or $18 a week. Those are the wages of thor oughly competent actors In companies of good grade." St ran Re Freak of Pnte. Says the Portland Oregonlau: "It is the belief of some historians that the name 'Oregon' is Aragou in disguise, that It was given to this country by the early Spanish voyagers and that American explorers so Interpreted the word given them by the Indians. The theory Is at least plausible and Indi- i cates a strange freak of fate. The ! name Spain proudly brought to this ' distant coast returned to the West In- j dies 300 years later to destroy the j power of Spain on the seas! Little i thought De Fuca when he sighted this I coast in 1501! that some day It would j build a warship which, under the name ; of Aragon, or Oregon, would be fore most In the battle that marked the end of Spain's dominion in the new world." Pecnllnrtt y of Snakes. A snake tamer who had trained a serpent to follow him around the house and even out of doors happened one j day to take It with him to a strange place. The snake, unused to the local ity, suddenly seemed to forget all his training and, escaping into the bushes, resisted capture with bites and every indication of wildness. When caught, it at once resumed its tame habits. This tendency to become wild Imme diately upon obtaining their freedom and to again become tame when caught is said to be a peculiarity of snakes.

"I have Bv6u thousands of persona .die uuder all sorts- of circumstances. jid never ret have I seen one disnlav th slightest fear of death." This rt maskable statement whs made tho oth er day by a physician who has prac ticed many years in Philadelphia and who has seen a great deal of hospital service. "It is a popular fallacy," ho went on, "to Imagine that u deathbed scene ia ever terrible other than as a parting between loved ones. The fear of the unknowu is uever present at the last Even amid Ignorance and vice I have never experienced such scenes as a novelist who strives after realism will sometimes picture. "When a patient Is told that he can not recover and the end Is near, he In variably seems resigned to his fate, and his only thought seems to be of those who are to be left behind. This Is true alike of men and women. 'Those who become hysterical and declare they are not tit to die are the ones who are not as ill as they think they are. They always get well. "A psychological reason? Oh. I don't know that there Is any. It's Just a hu man trait." Philadelphia Kecord. .A Composite Nnine. "One of the differences between the east aud the northwest," said a Puget sounder, "is the names of places, and the Skikomlshes. the Snohomishes. the Suoqualmies, the Wahkiakums and the lot of them give a man funny feelings, and when he runs across Bucoda, on the Northern Pacific railroad In Pierce county. Wash., he doesn't know wheth er It is Chinook or Si wash or what. But It Is none of them like Kcnova, in West Virginia, which Is near the Junc tion of Kentucky. Ohio ami Virginia, or Delmar. where Delaware autl Mary land come together. "Bucoda is a composite name, and Its story Is simple enough. When the Northern Pacific came iu. a town sprang up. and It must have a name. There were Indian uatnes In plenty, but something more uovel was wanted, so Messrs. Buckley. Coulter and Davis, all N. P. otlicials, put their heads to gether first and their names later, aud the name Bu-co-da was evolved, with an etymology very apparent to any one who Is at all Informed In terminology. Bucoda It has remained, and It Is not half bad as names go In the Puget sound country." New York Sun. The I'ecnlliir .In Inn. Ernest M. Bowdeu In The Nineteenth Century, reports a chat with Baja Sivaprasad on Jalnlsm. The Jains pay more regard to the feelings of the lower animals than any other sect In the world: will not kill them or Injure them: are careful to avoid destroying even Insects, sometimes wearing a handkerchief over the mouth to pre vent any living creature being breath ed In. It may be argued that this tenderness will prove In the long run fatal to Its possessors, handicapping them seriously In the struggle for life with less scrupulous rivals. As evi dence to the contrary Mr. Bowden points to the .Tains: "Notwithstanding the opposition. If not active persecutions, of bygone times, the one small sect which, more than any other in the world, has taught and practiced the doctrine of ahimsa.' or 'noninjury,' to living crea tures, stands today, after some four and twenty centuries, by far the most prosperous community In a population verging on r.OO.OOO.tKX). Weapons of the Skunk. A skunk once challenged a lion to ! single combat. The lion promptly de clined the honor.' "Why," said the skunk, "are you afraid?" "Very much so," said the lion, "for you would only J gain fame for having the honor to fight : with a Hon. while every one who met . me for a month would know I had been In company with a skunk." This reminds us of the story about Henry Ward Beecher's father, the fa mous Dr. Lyman Beecher. who, when asked why he did not reply to some body who had severely attacked him In a newspaper, replied that when a young man, crossing a field one night with an armful of books, he saw a small animal and after hurling several volumes at the animal found he got the worst of It. and ever since had thought It better to let such animals alone. Our Dumb Animals. And the Minister Smiled. The York (Me.) Transcript says that a Portland minister recently called up on one of the families in his parish. He ascended the steps and knocked at the door. Receiving no response, ho was about to depart when he heard a window In the next house open and a woman's voice say. "Mrs. Smith, the minister's at your door." What was the pastor's surprise and amusement when he caught Mrs. Smith's response wafted gently around tho corner of the house, "Sh, don't you s'pose I know It!" The next Sunday after service Mrs. Smith met her pastor and expressed her sorrow that she was away when he had called. A Itrlftht Jeweler. A gentleman tells the following Joke on a Jeweler: A young man who was on the verge of matrimony went to the Jeweler nnd bought a ring and left In structions that In It be engraved the legend, "From A to Z," which, being Interpreted, meant from Anthony to Zenobia. To his astonishment, on call ing for the ring the next day he found It engraved like an Egyptian obelisk and on closer examination found that the Jeweler had put the whole alpha bet "from A to Z" on It.
