in his eyes,

cottage and ground and something over six

jeanne could not speak: her heart was too full.
After many days. her childish act of self-sacrifce

as special Christmas gift.
Some weeks later, as soon as her mother was
able to make the journey, they went down to

A Generous Confidence Man.

From the st. Louis Republican.
There was a look of sorrow on the face of a
certain man who stood up at the bar of the cen
trail police Office yesterday morning. Capt.
Fruchte knew very well what that look il.di-
Gated, and taking up BLOCK of paper he spoke
in kindly tones to the sorrowful gentleman
saying: ''How much have you lost and how did
you lose it?'
II lost $780," said the man with the longi-
tudinal facial expression. 81 met John Smith
in Chicago and he played a confidence game on
me. After getting all my money he gave me a
railroad ticket. and started me off for ST. Louis.
saying he would meet me here at the depot
But he did not meet me. Here am now; am
dead broke, and that man in Chicago has got
all my money. Can you do ANYTHING for me?"
Capt. Fruchte smiled benign smile as he
scratched his head and remarked that he
guessed he couldn't do anything in the premises.
but he certainly admired the generosity of the
Chicago confidence man and his skill in shipping
his victim to the city of st. Louis before giving
him a chance to squeal to the Chicago author
tiles. The victim of the Chicago man. John
Smith, departed, and when last seen he was
vending his way to the Union depot. hoping
against hope that the Chicago man would re-
pent of his deed, and show up with the money

rom Harpers Bazar
The dance begins at half-past eight,
And Charley's late and i'm hutter;
His toilet must he very swell,
And quite to all extremely utter;
HIS very hurry makes him slow.
Because he knows he mustn't linger-
When suddenly his collar stud
Slips from between his thumb and finger.
1t must have fallen on the floor;
He StOopS and hunts, but cannot find it:
Perhaps 1t rolled beneath the bed,
AND hides away secure behind it.
In vain he creepS on hands and knees,
Around each bed-post feeling, peering;
The stud Is nowhere to be found,
And half-past eight is quickly nearing.
He searches every inch of floor.
In every crack and crevice pOking;
The little game OF hide-and-Seek
Is now a matter not for joking.
TITS half-paSt eight-'ttS nine O'Clock.
He cannot wait another minute;
He rises to the crisis then,
Exclaiming-happy thOught-''I'll pin it,"
His toilet now is soon complete,
And to the dance our Charley hurrfeS.
Alas! his collars pinned awry;
His face shows traces OF his worries;
He has suspicious Of his hair,
And dreadful doubts about the parting
Forgotten to consult the glass
In all the furry OF late starting.
Mt Illus IIldI all Jne pTeUtleSC GIFTS
Have been engaged for all the dances;
Grows hot and red to lind himself
The object Of deriSive glanceS
The row of wallfiowers round the room
Some thin, some fat, and mostly faded
No consolation can afford
To feelings SO intensely jaded.
But yet, concealing his chagrin
FOr Charley still was OF the boldeSty,
He put a look OF courage on,
And chose the thinnest and the Oldest
As CALAMITY he led her out
As il she'd been a sweet SiXteener;
But when he took her to her seat
His heart in secret beat Serener.
He took her out to supper, too,
And gave her wine and cake and ices,
And sought TO pass the time away
With many commonplace devices
Relieved was ne when all broke up,
And one by one the guests departed,
And to his chamber he returned
AS duh and wretched as he started.
But later, sitting in his room,
In melancholy mood undressing,
An exclamation passed his lips
That one would hardly call blessings
And as the cause OF all his woes
Popped tnnOcently from his stocking,
His language was, grieye 10 say,
Too quite unutterly shocking!

From the Philadelphia Times.
Judge Noah Davis, in sentencing Mrs. Cole
man for the shooting of her lover, took occa-
sion to warn women against going into public
without an escort. In this he is upheld by such
of the New York papers that have discussed the
subject, The judge holds that public thor
oughfare or place of amusement is unsafe for
women because they are brought in contact
with loose men forever on the alert for prey. 1t
is but poor estimate of American wOmanhOod
that assigns them such position as this Nor
do they deserve it. One of the characteristics of
peans, is the independence and dignity with
which they travel about and keep in their place
the very same prOwling Williams against whom
Judge Davis warns them.
II American women are so weak that they
cannot be trusted to go to the theater alone
and of so little sense that they cannotteach ILL
hammered fntruders their place. then it must be
owned that our system is failure In England
and Germany, where human nature is about the
same as it is in this country, women are not the
slave of escorts. They go to the theaters,
they visit the art galleries, they, in short de-
pend upon themselves, and there is neither
question of prOpriety nor danger incurred. In
Boston and Philadelphia too, women feel no
Insecurity in depending on themselves. They
visit amusements or any recreative pastime
they please and incur no danger. Nor is it true
that American theaters or thoroughfares are q
source of danger or annoyance TO any well-be-
haved woman. Birds OF prey know their prey.
A modest woman can SO comport hersef that
immodesty will not presume to modest or even
make its presence known.
There is danger to women only when they show
that they invite it. No decent woman has any
thing to apprehend when she conducts herself
with propriety. A well-bred woman knows
that speech with stranger is contrary to g0o0
manners as well as prudence. She is never out
of the protection Of the police, or, if need be-
scores Of men and women, if she be in reputa-
HE place of amusement. 1t is revolving to the
sentiment of chivalrous devotion in which
the sex is held by nine in every
ten of the people who make up
an audience to take it for granted. as
Judge Davis permits himself that modest virtu-
GUS women are such idiots that they are fascin-
ated and helpless under the impudent leers of
idle young men or mature ruf6ans. If there be
one thing above another of which Americans are
proud, it is the security with which they let
wives and sisters shift for themselves This
confidence has given as a race of women who
have no superiors In the world for c0nstancy

A Plea for Honest Industry.


An honest artisan is in'his way as much to be
respected as physician OF lawyer. Only a
perncious pride can separate the man from his
vocation. Each man is a bundle Of wants, that
must be satisfied, either by his own labor or by
the bounty of others. And each man may be
the football of fortune, and pass through all de-
clensions of adversely. Amid all vicisstudes.
however, Independent bread may be won by the
man who has some skill or craft that subseryes
his fellows 1t is therefore the plain duty of all
they have ample means to launch them into the
professions. With our ever-augmenting popu-
latiOn. large numbers of both sexes will continue
to emigrate; but without some handicraft, a
man finds himself worse off in the colonies than
at home. Trade may fluctuate, the capable
and deserving artisan may have a period
of slackness: but taking an average, he
finds enough to keep himself and family in COM
fort. His lot is indeed, happy one compared
with the struggling unframed man. 1t is time
for parents to understand that the youth who is
not being drilled for definite career is tread
ing the road which leads to misfortune. The
rising generation will find 1t more difficult to
get through life's conflict than the risen genera
ton. The stupendous changes which have
taken place in human destiny in the past cen
fury have only produced their minimum Of effects
80 far. The maximum will fall upon those COM
ing upon the scene. They will be weighted with
heavier responsibilities. they will have higher
tastes. more numerous appetites and desires.
And they will be less able to bear poverty and
despair. Order is heavens first law; it is also
that of society. Parents neglecting the business
training of their boys defy both divine and hu-
man ordinances: and the suffering of the un-
classed is the atonement exacted for the Of.
