A Modest Old Maid.
Toledo Democrat.1

Harry Townsend, of the Wabash rail-
way, always loves good story. He re.
lates the following told him by a well
known politician and tourist OF Indiana.
The event happened not many nights
since while the lndianian, whom we will
call Hoosier for short, was riding in a
Pullman car over the Wabash road. The
car was crowded and the most conspicu.
Gus passenger was an old maid exceeding
ly peevish and hard to suit. She was
extremely modest and had marked
antipathy to men. She had hired berth
in the center OF the car, and never having
ridden in a sleeping car before she sup
posed she had right TO the whole section.
Imagine her CONSERVATION, then, after
retiring, when mana great, horrid
man-puled aside the curtains and pro-
ceeded to climb into the upper section.
She screamed long and loud, raising the
whole car. When the conductor ascer-
tained the cause of her discontinue, and
explained TO her the true state OF affairs,
she eJacuated: "Oh, my never could
sleep with anybody anywhere near me"
and, after considerable haggling, she pur-
chased the whole section. BY this time
tllc WnOlc car lOau 1du awakened up 10
listen to her sorrows. She, thoroughly
reused ane excited, started to go to the
water cooler to get drink, but after she
had gone part way down the aisle she
CHANGED to remember that she would not
be able to recognize her berth on her re-
turn back, and so pinned small piece Of
paper on the curtain of her section, after
which she nipped down the aisle congrat-
ulating herself on her shrewdness. But
no sooner had she got out of sight than
one Of the many wicked men who had
been disturbed by, and led to swear at the
modest old gir,s screeches and conversa-
tion was vile enough to take the piece OF
paper pinned to her berth and attach it TO
the curtain of another berth a short dis
tance away. Soon the old dame came
mincing back to her couch. She steered
straight for the tcll-tale, and hurrying lest
the eyes OF vulgar men might be upon
her, She hastily pulled aside the curtains,
and with all the agility of an uncertain
age, sprang in and sought seclusion under
the folds of the generous coverlets. But
suddenly there came up from the recesses
of that section growl and a howl which
awoke the sleepiest passenger. The old
maid had crawled into bed with man.
And that man had actually called her a
"bOld, bad Wop,~.

Success in Life.
An Article Our Young Men would do well
to Consider.
From the Western Rural.

From the Western Rural.
The young man who has no ambition is
blank in the lottery of life. He fills space
which had better be vacant-bettcr for him
and better for the world, upon which he is
a drag and to which he is an eyesore. 1t
matters not how high he may set his mark
the higher the better. 1t may be so high
that he may never reach 1t, he will be get
ting higher and higher every day. To a
chievc success he must start with the com
plete understanding that success means
work and arduous work. Occasionally a
man drifts to victory, but as a rule success
lies up the stream and not down it. 1t
makes no difference what the business is,
the upper round of the ladder can be
reached only by climbing. In the pro-
fessions, the labor is endless and ceaseless.
II was by the light of the midnight lamp
that our great lawyers and physicians and
scientists have achieved fame. While they
were turning the leaves of well worn books
or straining the thoughts 10 penetrate the
mysteries of nature, men as able as they,
and their equals in all that goes to make
the foundation of human greatness, were
reveling in the barroom, whirling in the
pleasures Of the dance, at the gaming table
or in the theatre, and the world has already
forgotten that they ever lived. In the
churchyard the silent marble bears their
names but they are never spoken except
as the stranger wanders through the city
of the dead and then only in the medita-
tive inquiry, "Wonder who those men
were" There is no mark on the stone to
answer the question--no achievements re-
corded-not a single deed of merit men
toned The history of such lives would
look sad upon the stones. 1t would be as
brief too, as sad. Failure" would be all
that would be written. The lives that have
been wrecked upon the rocks of Incidence
and vice line the pathway of time in ghast-
ly profusion. But young men will con-
time to incur the danger notwithstanding.
In our cities are clerks who are contented
with pittance for a salary for the reason
that they have no ambition, and are salts
fed to drift wherever and however cir
cumstances may propel them. They may
probably think that sometime they will
strive for better things, but the sometime"
never comes to such men. They were born
indolent and never will overcome the de-
feet, not because they cannot but because
they do not want to.

Too Noble to Live.

A sad story comes from La Sale, Ill
Stella Haley aged fourteen, lived all
alone. Her mother died last summer of
hard work and broken heart. The girl
went to school, but oneday she was miss
ing. Several days went by, and she did
not appear. Search was made, and she
was fouud lying in corner of her impov-
erished home, dead. She had starved to
death and made no sign. Her brave
young soul chose rather to pass out of the
world in silence than to unbend from her
heroic pride, and tell the people of ampler
lives that she was dying for the want of
food. Imagine her at school among hap
py, wellfed, comfortably clothed children.
She with the gaunt wolf of hunger at her
side, and the majestic passion of pride in
her heart! There was heroism! In her
childish way-no, perhaps she was never
childish, for the children of the very poor
know no childhood; life is old to them
from their birth-in some inscrutible way,
PSlllttpo, oIlS ottW lilG lGlI lDlC CHl Vi IlGT
young life approaching, but she said moth
ing. A word might have saved her, but
it was not spoken. There was no instinct
of the beggar in her She could die when
the last bite was eaten in silence. What
sorrowful contrasts she must have drawn
between her own life and the lives of other
children of the school, where she sat
wrapped in her poor garments and her
great pride? And she never uttered
word that revealed her destituton. She
was as patient, obedient and industrious
as any one, though she was starving. No
wonder that La Sale mourns over her,
and is shocked at the awful fact that she
starved to death amid plenty! No braver
heart than that Of this child hero will ever
throb within its borders. No wonder that
mothers wept over her emaciated body,
and upbraided themselves for their neg
lect of her; and that children gathered
about her, with hushed voices and won
dering faces! She was martyr to noble
sentiment. Hundreds of homes would
have been open to her if they chad only
known" An angel had dwelt among
them, and they knew it not.
