One phase of Mr.. Reade's humor ia
unique. 1t is represented in the pas
sage in "Hard Cash. where the hero
produces (unconsciously) his sweetheart's
sacred motto. Remember thy Creator in
the days of thy YOUTH, wrapped around
the ace Of spades, and the hard headed
old doctor of the party calls for the rest
of the pack, and suggests that the max
i'm, Never trump your partners lead
ing card, would be more in keeping.
Of a proposition adopted by a meeting
of tipsy men, Reade says that it "was
carried by hiccoughatien." But this
strain of humor is best illustrated i'm the
passage in Foul Play" wherein the sick
sailor makes his dying confession and
declaration to the clergyman, Mr.. Hazel,
telling how his ship was lost, and end
ing.

people. D-n his eyesr
Mr.. Hazel was shocked at this, and could not
allow these to be Cooper's last words; so he
said, earnestly: "Yes, but my poor fellow,
you said you forgave all your enemies; we all
need forgiveness, you know"

Charles Reade's Last Days.

Edmund Yales In London World.
Six or seven years ago Charles Reade
lost one who had been for years his clos
est companion, and since then his has
been comparatively broken life. His
chief delight was in almsgiving to de-
serving recipients. Eighteen months
since he seemed to return to his old
haunts, and in his sealskin coat was a
noticeable object at the theatres. But
his health was gone he went abroad
and returned, only to die. There are
many who will remember his irascibility,
his strong language, his eccentric denun-
ciations of plaster ceilings, his silly ad-
vocacy of ambidextrous proficiency but
there are many more who, will think OF
him az a sound, hearty, hospitable, gen.
erous Englishman, a rare product Of these
later days.

The life of Jesus was both supernat-

cause it was pure development of hu-

the positions of the people and the rail
way company Ia relation to the North

signing to have the undeveloped north
west opened up for settlement, con-
tracted with the company for building
railroad through it by certain time,
and to pay for the construction and the
risk with land of value twice sufficient
to defray the cost. The COMPANY de-
layed the building years beyond the

All they have since built has been
through territory peopled and produc-

glad To build with DO other inducement
than the rich traffic awaiting. The peo-
pie never offered to pay for this build
ing, nor for any since July 4. 1879. To
pav for it with the land offered to the
company If it would do the work of
pioneering would be ten times more
insane proceeding than for the exhibi-
ton company before suggested to give
full pay to the contractor whose delay
had ruined their project. And this view
makes no account Of the fact that the

lands il the most audacious, extortiOn-
ate and oppressive monopoly in the
United States. and to grant its PRAYER is
to contribute four fold to the power it
has used but to plunder and crush the |
inhabitants along its line. Bnt it is no
madness which proposes to make this
donation to public enemy. |
1t is the cool, deliberate planning of an |
Infamous crime by the purchased foes
of the people.

As regards women, the most notable
examples of self-evolvement have been
furnished by France as far as We may
look back. No other country has pro-
dnced such brilliant women in number
or varied ability. In 40 other country
have women played SO notable a part
in public event. nor approached them
In influencing tae men who shaped
those events. Yet most Of these women
were the early product of tbs convent,
where elegance rather than severity of
education was the aim. But the French
woman's development was largely due
TO the best French male minds, who
made her salon the theater of their
thought. thus, without any elaborate
theorizing, lifting her at once to their
own plane.
