Certain: y and regularity of employment count for a ureat clcul. as is shown by the conduct of longshoremen these days. You may hire a longshoreman for nine or ten dollars a week Ht steady work in a factory or store, but the rate for their work along the docks is thirty and forty cents an hour, and in unloading vessels some times 400 longshoremen make as much as twelve dollars each at n single job, un broken save by the brief respite snatched for meals. Xo other unskilled labor is paid so well, but the New York longshore man is worthy of his hire, and he is a mar vellously strong, active and intelligent workman. A mite of a womnu, who hired two long shoremen to help remove her furniture, described them as big us houses, and when one of them, looking down on her, said, "Missus, it's a mighty dry tnovin," she lost no time in sendinu for liquid refresh ment.

Mrs. Potter Palmer has received a Xew Year's gift in the shape of a gorgeously lithographed calendar of a local brewing concern, in which her por trait was faithfully reproduced in a high degree of artistic excellence.

The effect of indiscriminate charity iti breeding poverty must also lie taken into account. Tie lord mayor's fund of $:iT.0, OiKi, which was fluns out bv a charitable impulse to the poor of east London a few winters ago, caused far more poverty than it cured. M.iny who were gel ting on fairly well without it left their work to depend upon this fund, and not only forfeited their self re-pect, but sadly demoralized themselves ly the deceit which they prac ticed in getting it. "The tendi ncy of the fund.'' wrote Mr. Barnett shor ly after its distribution, "has been to creat a trust in lies. Its organi zation of vis tors and committee offered a show of resistunre to lies, but over such resistance lies easily triumphed and many notorious evil livers pot by a Rood story the relief denied to others. Anecdotes are common as to the wav in which visitors w-ere deceived, committees hoodwinked and money wrongly gained." i he effect of this distribution upon the applicants at large, as one visitor sums it up, was this, "The foundation of such inde pendence of character as they possessed has been shaken, ami some of thein have taken the first step in mendicancy, which is too often never retraced." Poverty which must be relieved is always with us; the problem is to administer the relief in ways which will not tend to pauperize the recip ient. That lesson has been very imper fectly learned, and the net result of a large share of our well meant charities is the in crease of pauperism. Rev. Washington Gladden in Century.

We h id been bothered by horse t hieves down on the frontier, and you know what that Means in a wild country. A crowd of us started out after the scoun drels, and just before we reached the Rio Grande we saw two horsemen off to tho left who acted suspiciously. After them we went, anl it was a pretty race for awhile till they disappeared behind a clump of tree. We had shot tostop them, and when we got in sight again we found that one horse had been shot and they had deserted him, while loth were riding the other. They were evidently Mexicans a man and a bey and the man showed fight, turning and firing at us, finally hitting our deputy t heriff. We pained on them rapidly, and presently a well directed fire sent them all in a heap. "When we reached them the 'bov' was kneeling in rront of the dying Mexican, sobbing and Moaning as if her heart would break, while her hair, which had fallen from her cap, feW below her waist. It was a case of elo iemcnt, and they had taken tis for her fat icr's servants, while we had been equally stupid and had taken them for horse thie .-es.
