How Potter Palmer Raised a Mans Salary.

A CHICAGO exchange tells this !:
IA Potter Palmer is busy man, and
that he now and then cOnfounds things
that are dlssimilar, or fills to associate
those that are alike, is not to be wonder
ed at. In the multiplicity of his duties
he is often called upon to act promptly
and with decision. Sometimes he is a
little too prompt, as the case In point
will show.
A few days ago, in one of his rounds
through his palatial hotel, he entered a
room suddenly and discovered window
washer leisurely engaged in reading a
newspaper. Being very active himself
he has no use for lazy man, or. one
who sights his work. He discharged
the washer on the spot and ordered him
to go to the office for bis pay. The man
obeyed, got his money, went to his room
on the upper floor, arrayed himself in
his Sunday suit, packed up his duds and
descended to the servants apartment to
take leave of his former associates.
About this time Mr.. Palmer entered,
but did not recognize his quondam en-
ployee in his store clothes.
" Here, my man, you look as though
there was good work in you; do you
want a job ?'
The ex-washer, somewhat surprised,
admitted that he stood in need of one.
Can you wash windows2"
The man allowed that he could.
Well, " said Mr.. Palmer, "I've just
discharged a man who has been doing
that sort of work. paid him only $50
" month, but If you take the place and
SO right to work / III pay you S22.'
The proposition was quietly accepted,
and in hasf an hour the discharged en-
pioyee was scrubbing away in the same
old room.

his face homeward, his heart filled with
despair. When he emerged from the
forest into the clearing he met the In
dian who had visited him few days be-
fore, and he told the red man of Allan a
loss. The Indian stood moment In
deep thought, and then asked.
"No horse, no boy back thereY'' point
ing to the road just traversed by Mr..
Devins.
g. No. have looked carefully, and If
there had been trace left by the recent
storm should have detected IT,
"Ugh Well, me come over the blll
nothing that way either then they
here"
Why do you think so Y''
"Ah me know wolves. When Allan
come to the place they ahead; horse
turn; wolves caught 'em this side
woods we look there" and Tayena-
thonto pointed to the very course taken
by the horse and rider
1t so happened when Allan was
thrown from the horses back that his
rifle flew from his hand and struck
muzzle down, in II hollow stump, where,
imbedded In the snow, II stood like a
sign to mark the scene of the last strug
gle of the lost boy. The snow had
whitened all its hither side. When the
Indian came abreast of it he cried
" Told you so See ! Allan's gun
And here rest of 'em,' pointing to q
little heap over the ruins of the old
cabin.
Kicking thesnow hastily aside, the
Indian axamined the ground carefully
moment, and then said:
No, only horse Allan further on"
The Indian, with head bent down,
walked quietly forward, threw up his
arms, and disappeared. He had stepped
over tie clean edge of the cellar, and
sunk exactly as Allan had. A few des-
perate plunges sufflced TO take the
strong Indian through the intervening
snow and into the cellar, where Allan,
just rOusing from his second sleep, sat
bold upright. The Indians coming dis
tnrbed the snow so that a gimmer of
light penetrated into the dark space. .
Allan supposed wolf had found its
way down there, and hastily drew his
large knife, bracing himself for an en-
counter.
The Indian sputtered, thrashed about
to clean himself from the snow, and in
so doing raped his head smartly against
the low ceiling of logs.
Waugh waugh!'' exelainled he.
''Too much low; Indian break 'em
head; look out''
Allan instantly recognized the voice
of the Indian, his comrade on naany
fishing and hunting tour.
Tayenathontol" he cried, dear old
fellow, who would thought of you, find
ing me ~
The Indian quietly replied:
Tayenthonto no find; come like
waterfall ; couldn't help his sell. y
A very few minutes sufficed to. put
both en the surface again, where Allan
was received like one come from the
dead, " and closely folded in his fathers
arms, the joy of that embrace The past
grief and suffering were forgotten in the
bliss oF that moment.
The Indian had to return with the
happy father and son to their home,
where he was hailed as Allan's rescuer,
and enjoyed to the full share of the
festivities.
In after years Allan married Esther
Inman, and now, by the firesitSe in win
ter, he tells his grandchildren Of his es-
cape from the wolves, and the little ones
never tire of patting their faithful old

UNCHRISTIIN CRITICISN.
What Rev. A. T.. Mason Says Regarding Hi
Last Sundays Sermon.

What Rev. A. Il. Mason Says Regarding His
Last Sundays Sermon.
The Star of last evening contained an anony-
nous and evidently a very malignant and un'
christian attempt to iasten upon the Rev. A. f.
Mason, pastor of the E Street Baptist Church,
the olense of plagiarism in his discourse of
last Sunday morning. The source of the at
tack and its animus was so apparent that Mr..
Mason, at the prayer.mccting last evening, al
ludcd to the matter very frankly aud sub
stantally as follows:
81 wish to speak to you in regard to what
many of you have probably seen, aud what l
wish you all might see-an article which APP
peared in to.night's star, in which are printed
"A number of sentences taken from the sermon
which l preached last Sunday morning, and
parallel sentences said to be taken from SER
mon by Rev. Mr.. Brooke, of London, and which
have no doubt are correctly quoted. i would
say that | read Mr.. Brookcs sermon once, per-
haps twice, with care and enjoyment, when l
was in Boston the last time. When the name
of tho 'Women's Individual Effort Society
of our church was mentioned the thoughts
of that sermon occurred to me. |

Seeking PossessIon of a Chnd.

Justice Macarthur, sitting in chambers yes
terday, heard the haJeas corpus Of S. G, Tilton,
who, by this process, seeks to obtain possession
of his child, Clark Kirk Tilton, now in the
custody of DR.. Thomas Keech In the divorce
suit brought by Mrs Tlton against her hus-
baud decree was made in her favor, giving
to her the custody aud control Of this child.
She made her homo with the respondent to
the writ of ha1eas corpus, and recently died,
leaving the child to the care Of Dr., Kecch.

was contemplating sending the boy to his
grandmother, who resides in the City of Mex

was refused, aud then he tried to recover his
offspring by legal means. Justice Macarthur
decided that he had no jurisdiction in the case,
and the only way by which it could be reached
was through the Probate Court, where appica

The 0liver.Cameron trial managed to drag
through another day, yesterday, with about
the same sized audience In attendance as has
been present throughout the week. 1t is won
dered by many persons why the defense con-
tinues to multiply evidence when the case has
become so transparent TO admit Of no doubt
as to which way the verdict will be. Every
body was late yesterday morning but Chief
Justice Cartier. 1t seems to be n close race
between him and the clock for regularity, If
anything the Judge has q little the best of
the timepiece in this respect. For the first
time since the trial began Mrs. Oliver was the
last to appear aud at 1915 a. m. the hearing
went on.

lersburg, KY, soliciting his assistance to find
her daughter Alice, and take her from the Gus
tody of Mr.. Oliver.
Edward Ranch of Mauch Chunk, Pa, an ex.
pert in handwriting, declared the two Cam
eron letters to be forgeries.
Colonel William g. Moore, who was private
secretary for Mr. Cameron when he was Secre-
tary of War, and familiar with that gentle
mans handwriting, expressed his belief that
hey were not genuine letters.
Mr.. J. Il. Padgett testified to witnessing tho
receipts drawn by Mr.. Riddle aud signed by
Mrs. Oliver for 81 600 paid to her.
Mr.. o. u. Barrett testified TO Mrs. Oliver
visiting his office, and wishing him to exercise
his influence among his influential friends to
induce Mr.. Cameron to marry her. At that
time the only letter she had was the one from
Mr. Cameron to Secretary Bristow, recommends
ing her for an appointments. She relied on
tirely upon his marrying her from the repeat
ed avOwals of love that he had made to her.
Mr.. X. S. Davis testified that Mrs. Oliver
came to has office in company with Mrs. sam
pie Mrs Henriques), aud wanted to enter suit
for divorce from her husband.
MIR. David kellett produced the papers from
the appointment-room at the Treasury Depart
ment in Mrs. divers case. In her application
she says that she was born December %, ISL
