Honesty the Best Policy.

= The other day as keen-looking
business man, with his hat worn on
the nape Of his neck, was standing on
Clark street, simple, gawky-looking
country lad of 10, with big envelope
in his hand and Ills mouth and ewes
wide open, came saunterine along.
looking anxiously at all the signs. which
he was apparently spelling out. The
business man, being naturally kind
hearted and desiring to do friendly
turn to q stranger, SAID to the boy: "Hi,
sonny, what are you looking fol? Let
me see that letter."
mo, can't let you have that letter.
There's bonds in it," said th e bow: "but
p'raps you can tell me where Ulster
Smith lives round here. The boss told
me the number, but I've forgotten Il,
and the letter has got bonds in it. and
so l amt to give it to anybody bus
him"
"Why, I've been waiting for YOU this
half hour, said the keen business man.
as his face frightened up; "waiting for
you to bring me those bonds which |
bought of what's his NAME"
"Be you Mr.. Smith," said the bow.
"Well, now, I'm right glad met YOU,
because I'd clean forgot what was the
number where the boss said you lived,
and | wouldn't have liked to 90 back
to him without finding you; il would
have looked as if | was careless.
With these remarks the lad took out,a

hauled out a scantily furnished purse.
gave the boy s. bill and a quarter
and SAID; There, sonny, that quarter
| is 70 reward you for your cieverp ess
and fidelity" and, putting the envelope
IN his breast pocket, he walked leis-
urely around the corner, ran TO Dear
born street with the speed of deer,
skipped lightly round to Madison, and
mailing car was whirled away at a
comparatively lightning speed. Not
until he had reached Union Park did
ne draw the precious envelope from
ms pocket, and, with the remark,
Pray heaven they are not registered"
tore it open. He then found that the
envelope contained q copy Of the Chi
cago Tribune, which he could have pux-
chased at the Office at FIVE cents. Mean
while the simple country lad, entering
a beer saloon in the vicinity of the
Sherman House, has absorbed a beer,
sailed sway tAe s. bill with seven others
in his pocket book, and, with the re.
mark, The fish is biting very numer-

EGYPT, so recently afflicted with war,
is now the victim Of cholera in its most
virulent form, and it is spreading rap
idly. There is danger that the fleeing
refugees who crowd all the outgoing
steamers will carry the pestilence into
Asia and Europe, and that to all the
other calamiIies of this disastrous year
will be added worldwide prevalence

HAD a cyclone swept ever the great
American bottom" Of Illinois, or had
a wave of flame swept over it, greater
devastation could hardly have been the
result than that caused by the destruc-

millions Of dollare, and many people
have been utterly impoverished.

The year 1888 seems destined by its
disasters from cyclones, floods, fires,
and anics to pass into history as the
most calamitous ever recorded. There
seems to be some unseen fatality in
the universe, and destruction and death
from some quarter come as regular as
the day. The last ON the list Of de-
structive forces is the appearance of
the dreaded scourge cholera, directly
in its old line of travel.
