A Detectives Ordeal.

McParlan, the detective, was formerly
Pinkerton's coachman. The latter be-
lieved him to be the man to consummate
the perilous task of unearthing the Penn
sylvania Mollie Maguires. He was ell
gagged at a salary of only $12 a week and
all expenses, after long struggle as to
the right and wrong of the mighty task
he was about undertaking. How he in
gratiated himself among those people,
for years as a boon companion, wrenched
from them their dearest secrets. prevent
ed many a murder and at last, when
Pinkerton had his moose all ready,
emerged from his identity as Mckenna,
the brawling Mollie, becoming the terri
bic instrument of justice that has trans
formed the coal regions from a country
of barbarians to a comparatively peace

summation, are already familiar to the

call him, well; and he has been to me
remarkable study. lie was formerly
simply "a broth of a boy" kind-hcarted,
impulsive, not ignorant, but what is
termed quick-witted, and that's all.
Had he not become, by mere chance.
Pinkerton' S coachman, he would have re-
manned to this day what he was before.
and what | believe he often wishes he
still was-a sort of q porter or man-of-all-
work about stores and wholesale houses.
The immense strain upon McParlan's
mind through three years has made him
unacceptable by his former self. In
! tellectually, in experience, in thought,
motive and purpose, lie has virtually been
recreated, and in the minds Of those
watching this change in the man, he has
become fixed, as i'll many respects, Il re-
/ markable person. Not all the wealth on
| the earth would induce McParlan again

/ carries. No man can contemplate score

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.

And then, remember. my son, you have
to work. Whether you handle pick or
4 pen, a wheelbarrow OF 4 set of books.
digging bitches or editing a paper, ring
ing an auction bell OF writing funny
things. you must work. If You will look
around you, son, you will see that the
men who are the most able to live tho
rest of their days without work, are the
men who work the hardest. Don't be
afraid Of killing yourself with overwork,
son. 1t is beyond your power to do that.
Men cannot work so hard as that On the
sunny side of thirty. They die some
times, but its because they quit work at
p m. and don't get home until a. m
It's the interval that kills, my son. The
work gives you an appetite for your
meals, it lends solidity to your slumber
it gives you perfect and grateful appre-
citation of holiday. There are young
men who do not work my son; young
men who make q living by sucking the
end of cane; whose entire mental de-
velopment is insufficient to tell them
which side of a postage stamp to lick;
young men who can tie a necktie i'll
eleven different knots and never lay a
wrinkle in it, and then would get into
West Hill street car to go to Chicago;
who can spend more money in a day than
you can earn in month, son, and who
will 90 to the sherilf~s to buy postal
card, and apply at the Office of the street
commissioners for marriage license.
But the world is not proud of them, son.
1t does not know their names, even:
ii simply speaks of them as old Soanso's
boys. Nobody likes them. nobody hates
Them the great busy world doesn't even
know they are there and at the great
day ofresumection, if they do not appear
at The sound Of the trumpet, and certain

what it is for and what to do don't
think Gabriel will miss them or notice
their absence. and they will not be sent
for. OF waited for, or disturbed Things
will 60 on just as well without them. SO
find out what you want to be and do,
son, and take of, your coat and make a
dust in the world. The buster you are
the less deviltry you will be apt to get
into, the swectcr will be your sleep, the
brighter and happier your holidays and
the better satisfied will the world be with

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF WEARING
FLANNEI..-The majority of the people
are not aware of the beneficial effects of
wearing flannel next to the body, both in
cold and warm weather. as preiuaiced
people believe frequent colds and con-
slant hacking coughs have left those
who adopted flannel garments. There is
no need of great bulk about the waist,
which condemns the wearing OF flannel
With those who prefer the wasp-wasts to
health. for i'll that case the flannel can be
cut as loosely fitting waists, fastening at
the back. There is scarcely one of the
bad effects Of sudden changes Of weather
felt by those who wear flannel garments.
and mothers especially should endearor
to secure such for their little people, III
preference TO all those SNOWY outside
which the fashion commends.

How to Burn Coal.

\ very common mistake is made and
much fuel wasted in the manner of re-
plenishing coal fires both in furnaces and
CRATES They should be fed with Il little
coal at time, and often; but servants,
to save time and trouble put on great
deal at once, the first result being that
almost all the heat is absorbed by newly
put-on coal. which does not give out heat
until it becomes red hot. Hence for
while it is cold. but when it becomes
fairly aglow the heat i. insullerable. The
time to replensh Il coal fire is as soon as
the Goals begin to show ashes on their
surface, then put on merely enough to
show Il layer of black coal covering the
red. This will soon kindlc, and as there
is not much Of it, an excess of heat will
not be given out.

sums for a specific tor govt. / will
give them for nothing, a sure and
simple cure. a friend OF mine had
chalkstones on his fingers, so bad
that he might have marked half the
trees in Windsor Park with them.
After consulting almost all the spe-
cialists in Europe he was advised by
an old woman to try Glove Of garlic

How to reduce the expenses of
criminal prosecutions by our State
courts is a question that enga-
ges the attention of every one
who thinks anything of retrench
ment in the public expenditures.
One of our judicial officers, speak
ing of this matter a few days since,
remarked that a very large proper
ton of the expenses would be cut
off by repeating the law making it
a misdemeanor to carry concealed
weapons, or increase the punish
ment to Imprisonment in the peni.
Tertiary. He says II larger proper
ton of these cases on the criminal
docket in some of the counties grow
out of carrying concealed weapons
in violation of law. Wouldn't it be
well to increase the penalty
Knoxville Chronicle.
Yes. Make the penalty impris
onment in the penitentiary, and let
law be passed prohibiting the
sale of pistols in the State. That
is the only way to put a stop to
carrying concealed weapons upon
the persons of bad and vicious men.
