author holds that the Swedish hero. like

II has boen his aim. he tells Us. to more

done as to the degree In which the prstsnsions

formation OF his plans. He rejects the theory
advanced By some Protestant historians that
the death Of Gustavus was due TO assassina-
lion rather than to.a chance shot In battle. It Ii
true that Prof. Gindsly brings forward decisive
proof from the Spanish archives that there was
actual negotiation In regard TO the murder Of
the Swedish King. but he frankly acknowl-

The Power OF the Imagination.

From the Baltimore Sun.
In the corridor of the registered letter and
money order annex Of the post Office there are
two stoves, one near the Second street entrance,
and the other further down. Both are large.
and as one suffices to heat the annex, no fire
has been built this winter In the one near the
door. The majority Of people who have busi-
ness with the money order or registry depart
ments come by way Of Second street. Among
the first visitors yesterday morning was police
man. He stood near the Second street door.
and having hammered his hands and stamped
his feet around the lrelesS stove, took another
turn around the public buildings, looking as if
he was very much warmed by his sOjourn In the
annex. Then he went back to try it on again
When he arrived half dozen people were hug
ging the stove. which for the first time he per-
ceived had not q particle Of fire In it. In fact
there was not even lighted candle inside the
stove to keep up the appearance. as Col. Sellers
did. Calmly reasoning that where Ignorance
is bliss, it's folly to be wise" he kept his dis
covery to himself, and stood back to watch and
mediate on the power of Imagination. Twelve
hands were stretched out around the cold iron
cylinder, and kept at such distance as to avoid
being burned Then big man In the fur cap
opened his OVercoat and took of his gloves
stamped his feet In satisfaction and went off to
write out money order blank. His place was
filled by another man who had Just come in
Then the others dropped off one by one, new
arrivals filled up the gaps. The clerks in the
annex had by this time taken in the situation,
and were quietly enjoying the scene, which kept
up during the day.

THREE THUNDERSTRUCK MEN.
How a Corpse Opened Wide Hts Eyes
and Scared the M0urners.

From the osweeo Palladium
An amusing incident took place the other
night at a house in the 5th ward. where .
woman lay dead. At q late hour three young
men who had known the deceased went to the
place where the body lay for the purpose Of at
tending the wake. They entered the door
quietly and passed into the front ROOM where
several women were carrying on q conversation
10 low tone Of voice. The excellent qualities
of the deceased were being rehearsed and all
seemed to be bowed down under the great
afflIction. On sofa in a room lay the form of
woman. The three young men crossed the
floor softly, knelt beside the sofa and uttered
fervent prayers for the welfare of the spirit of
the departed. The women In the room ceased
talking when the young men knelt down, ap-
parently awed by the solemnity of the occasion
The prayers We're finally concluded and the
young men rose to their feet. In rising the
skirt of one young mans coat touched the face
Of the form on the sofa.
Instantly her eyes opened wide and she raised
herself on her elbow. The feeling of the young
men can better be imagined than described
Their hair stood on end and their eyes bulged
out, but they did not move. Suddenly one of
the number gave vent to piercing yell and ran
from the house, closely followed by his COM
paniOns. The corpse was in the next room and
the person over whom they had been praying
was relative Of the deceased who had lain
down for a short rest

Strength for TODAY,

Strength for to-day is all that we need
AS there never Will be tomorrow:
For tomorrow Will prove but another to-day
With its measure OF joy and SORROW
Then why forecast the trials OF life,
With such sad and grave persistence:
And watch and wait for a crowd OF Ills
That as yet has no existence.
Strength for to-day-what precious boon
For the earnest souls who labor!
For the willing hands that minister
TO the needy friend or nelghbOr.
Strength for to-day-that the weary hearts
In the battle for right may quail not;
And the eyes bedimmed with bitter tears
In their search for light may fail not.
Strength for to-day on the down hill track,
For the travellers near the valley;
That up, far up On the other side
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day, that our precious youth
May happily shun temptation,
And build from the rise to the set OF the sun
On strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day, in house and home,
10 practice forbearance Sweetly;
To scatter kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting In God completely.
Strength for to-day is all that we need,
AS there never will be tomorrow:
For Tomorrow will prove but another today
with It's measure of joy and sorrow.

WHAT TO WEAR NEW YEARS.
A FrOck Coat En- Regle.

The New York Clotl,ier and F,trnisher saws:
When the regular season sets in for full dress the
question generally comes up: What is proper
to wear for New Years calls3" The gentleman
always consuts in dressing for any occasion, the
habits and rules of the society he moves in 1t is
as much an offence to wear full dress in some
places as 1t is to appear in a business suit in
others, for the reason that either would make
him conspicuous, and that is to be avoided
One Of the laws rigidly established in fashion
is that gentleman should always wear even
ing dress whenever he appears in society at
dinner OF after dinner, and the dinner hour
makes the division between day and night.
Another is that he shall never under any cir
cumstances wear that in the day time A
change of costume at nightfal is, therefore, i'm
peratively necessary, if the rule of fashion can
enforce anything. Readers must not be missled
by the fact that they have learned to call after
noon evening" That is a local application Of
the word, and obtains in certain sections of the
United States. Everywhere else ''evening"
begins at about the hour of dusk, or say 6
O'Clock In some communities man would be
as conspicuous to wear a swallOw-tail coat at
any hour as it would make him to appear with
out any coat In other places. Now, if his New
Years calls are to be made In the evening on
people with any pretensions to elegance he will
wear evening dress; but no man with any
knowledge OF good manners will appear any
where in an evening suit in the daytime. A
New Years call is generally ceremonious
VISIT and should be paid in "full Dress" which
constitutes frOck coat, either single or double
breasted, which must be In dark color, black
being considered the most elegant. The coat
this season is shorter than the one made last
year. The vest may be cut low to show an elegant
shirt front, or high If to be worn with scarf
II cut low 1t should have four buttons. The
trousers may be of fancy pattern, and even OF
a light color. A silk hat should be worn during
the day. and. to be in accordance with the
every best usage" an opera hat in the evening;
though silk hat may be worn after dark.

CANNOT GET HER CHILD.
A Fathers Abduction of His Offspring
not Legal kidnapping.

Deacon Edwin j. Toof is a manufacturer and
prominent citizen of New Haven Conn Anna
Elizabeth Reeves is his daughter. Her husband
Is Rollln J. Reeves, who now resides in Des
Moines, Iowa Reeves and his wife have
daughter, 6 years old. and when they lately
quarreled and separated the child became SUBJ
Haven. December ed, says: On the 3oth of
October Mrs, Reeves was with her child at Dea-
con Toof's home, No. 126 Wall street Reeves
had frequently declared his intention of steal
Ing the child. but the wife, after locating her.
self in New Haven, felt comparatively out of his
reach. On the night of the abduction it was
rainy and grew dark very early. About $50
O'Clock, while the Toof family were at the sup
per table. there came violent pull at the door
bell, which was answered By one of the servants
As the door opened in sprang man whom they
all recognized as Dudley Stewart. close per-
sonal friend of Reeves. He was followed by
gang of strange men. Instinctively the mother
guessed the truth of the situation. Stewart had
been sent by her husband to steal their child
She held her daughter until one of the men,
directed by Stewart came toward her and tore
the screaming child from her The mother
TELL to the floor, impOring the stranger to give
back her daughter while her father and brother
joined in the demand. But the men speedily
made OF. carrying the sObbing child with them.
The kidnapping party were next heard from at
Danbury. on the way west. The officers here.
asked ii the party should be arrested, replied
that they had no authority from the city attor-
ney to order Stewards arrest. and so he went
on with the child, and they are now in Des
MOines.
Renewed interest was given the case TO-DAY
by an application from State Attorney Doolittle
to Gov. Waller for an authorization for Sheriff
Gates to go to Des Moines with reauisition
for Stewart and bring him back to New Haven
to answer to charge of forcible abduction and
kidnapping the child against her will. Gov Waller
refused the application, sa ying 1.-The act COM
mtted is not in my opinion. kidnapping in the
meaning of our law. father cannot kidnap
his own child until the custody the law vests in
him is changed by the decree of court. and
person who aids him in taking the child does so
under his legal protection" Gov. Waller said
after he had first intimated his Discrimination to
sign the requisition papers that he had con-
suited the supreme court. and their informal
opinion was given him. Other legal proceed
ings are to be had in the interest of Deacon
Toof to bring the child back to New Haven
Deacon Toof is ready to spend much money to
insure his daughters happiness.
