McClaughry Tells of Hard Work He Had to Convince Man That Stole Funds Should Be Returned. "It's queer what notions some peo ple get into their heads," Maj. R. W. McClaughry, warden of the United | States penitentiary at Leavenworth, j said in Kansas City, Kan. folks simply can't distinguish i tween the right and the wrong." i Maj. McClaughry told a story of ho was sent to a penitentiary 'Some he ft man for ten years for robbing a bank of $10,006. He had reached through the wicket at the teller's station, snatched a pile of bills, escaped from the bank and had hid the money before he was ar I rested. "Well, sir, he was a model prisoner," i Maj McClaughry said "He behaved well that everybody about the I penitentiary liked him, and by such conduct he succeeded in obtaining enough credit marks to reduce his time of imprisonment from ten years to six years and nine months.- A day or two before his release he request ed an interview with tne. " 'Warden,' he said, 'I want to ask your advice about a little matter. You know I'm to leave this place in a few hours. I am going into business of some kind and I shall want a part ner. Now, in what business would you advise me to enter—for you know I want to make an honest- liv ing and be a good citizen.'

He turned every dollar of the money over to the bank, was generously re warded by the man who had sent him to prison, and has since been a useful : and honorable citizen." Explained to the Rector. St. Thomas' Episcopal church in Fifth avenue has under its jurisdiction an East side chapel, says the New York Sun. One of the features of the chapel is a gymnasium, in which boys are trained in all the branches of physical culture. Some of the boys are quicker in this sort of training than they are in the more polite talk of the West side boys. The rector of St. Thomas', Rev. Dr. Stires, visits the chapel frequently, 4 and is fond of talking with the lads about their work. He said to one lit tie fellow who hails from near the East river: "Well, my son, they tell me you won quite a victory in your last con test with the boys of a rival school." "I don't know 'bout that, but w'en we went up ag'in dat bunch from St. Pat's we put it all over 'em, and dey ain't never peeped since." The rector patted him on the head and said: "My boy. you're all right." "Dat's what I'm here for," was the quick reply. \ ; \ j , j make a hit, protested the manager. i "Why not?" asked the ambitious | young dramatist. "Don't you think it lias enough situations?"

In order to distinguish the new piece readily from the 20-pfennlg coin now in use, the government has asked for designs with a perforation. The Welt Spiegel published the pic tures of perforated coins which were recently made in England for circula tion in an East African English colony, and a humorist in a Hamburg paper says: "Give us the coins with holes In them by all means. We can string them like beads and tie them up and hold them, a process which seems to be beyond accomplishment with the modern slippery coins and bills.''* Exemplified.

' uggH THE WOMAN WITH THE EYES To-day she is a leader in society by right of her late husband's name and wealth, her youth, her beauty, and her sorrow. PerhapB she may marry again, and the man of her choice will be happy. Perhaps right ly so—who shall say? Where she came from nobody knew. It was said Dorrick met her at a summer resort, and that was all anyone seemed to know about her. He married her for her beauty; she mar ried him for his money and social position. I suppose both thoroughly understood the terms of the contract. He admired her much as he might have admired a fine horse, and he was proud to claim her as his own. She didn't actually hate him—he was an unfortunate encumbrance of wealth and social position. But she bore him no love. Perhaps the last straw 'that broke down her endurance was when Dor rick came home drunk from some club meeting. Dorrick was not a drinking man, and this was an case. Perhaps he had been drinking too many toasts to his young wife. But it was an offense against good form—the only thing she cared about now. When Dorrick ceased to be a gentleman the last link broke. "My dear—" he began, and then he stopped short, for he had caught her glance. She had peculiar eyes some times—hard, cold, penetrating eyes— gimlet eyes, an irreverent youth had once called them. Dorrick seemed to shrink up within himself beneath her gaze. Half drunk as seemed in some way fascinated—"like as if he'd been mesmerized," said Mrs. Dorrick's maid under her breath; she had* been to see, a professional hypnotist who had been performing at one of the music halls a few weeks Mrs. Dorrick overheard the 1 5 3 exceptional he was, he before. remark, and it set her thinking. The suggestion of mesmerism broke in upon her like a revelation; perhaps she had found the key to freedom. She had heard of this marvelous force that science but dimly comprehends, and she w-as prepared to believe wonders of it. Forthwith she set about study ing it. Little by little, as she mastered the subject, she came to understand how complete is the control exercised by the mesmerist over his subjects and found that she herself possessed marked powers of fascination. Then she began to try experiments with her husband. She had no definite end She wanted to gain such in view, : inustery over him as to make him en tirely subservient to her will. Then she would no longer be galled by the sense that she was part of his prop erty. out rof remembrance should forget. She was far too clever to let outsiders see this even the servants never suspected it. herself hardly knew how far-reaching was her strange power. But she had In a month she succeeded. The out ward world saw no change in Dorrick his household; but in the privacy of his home he was a different man. A single glance from Ms wife bereft him of will power, almost of conscious ness. He was no longer a living, think ing man, but an automaton, perform ing her will blindly, and without the power of retaining even a shadow if she willed he i She gained her point. She began tentatively. Dorrick de veloped a habit of dressing a little too lightly for the season of the year, and caught cold several times, wife scolded him for his carelessness, Little by little he His but to no purpose, became more careless. He neglected to see a doctor, after catching a very cold, though he had been in severe the habit of taking the utmost care of his health. Again his wife scolded him, and sent for the doctor herself. Dorrick recovered slowjy, but the ef fects of a severe chill had left him weaker. Then he crowning - imprudence of taking a cold? bath in the middle of January and neg lecting to dry himself thoroughly. Mrs. Dorrick scolded again, and again sum moned the doctor.

And he left directions for Mrs Dorrick and drove away. _ He was right; he could do no good: Dorrick had thrown away his life. In about a week he fell a victim to pneu monia, and Mrs. Dorrick was free. Mrs. Dorrick, the bride of scarce six months, mourned deeply for her hus band. and inherited his wealth.
