EX-SENATOR SHARON DEAD.
A Short Sketch Of the Noted Mans Won
derful Career.

Ex-senator William Sharon died Friday, Nov.
IS, at $3.50 in the afternoon.
Sharon was born at Smithfeld, o., Jan. 9,
1921 His parents owned farm, and his early
days were passed on 1t. He was studious as a
boy, entered Athens college in 1912, and made
respectable showing He studied law with
the late Secretary Stanton, but failed to get on
harmonionsy with that irascible and arbitrary
gentleman. In 1915 he went to ST. Louis and
was admitted to the bar, but failing health
forced him reluctantly to abandon his profess
sion, and he set up as country storekeeper at
Carrolton, ILL.,, where he was found at the OUT
break OF the gold fever In 1s49. He was one OF
the first to start across the plains. Reaching
Sacramento, he opened u store, but accumu-
lated money SO slowly that year later he
started for San Francisco, as he said years
afterwards, TO change his luck" Here he
opened a real estate Office. Thus he ran with
fiuctuating results for fourteen years, when ne
made the acquaintance of the then fortunate
William G. Ralston Ralston then lived at Vir-
ginia City, New, was manager of the Bank Of
San Francisco ind was at the zenith Of his
fame, and was accommodating wealth hand-over-
hand by advancing money on loans on mining
stocks. Ralston needed sharp. shrewd man
at the mines to send him confidential informa-
ton. He found in Sharon the very man he
wanted. This was the first step towards Shar.
ons colossal fortune. Sharon was among the
first to hear of the rich find in the Crown Point
and 3elcher mines. He succeeded in obtaining
control Of a large sum Of money belonging TO
the Bank Of San Francisco, and when the OWL
ers Of the mine discovered their bonanza, they
took sharon in their confidence, because they
hadn't money enough to open up their bonanza.
sharon was very lucky in his mining ventures,

THE SULTAN's SWEET TOOTH.
He Makes Poor German C0nfec.
toner His Chief Cook.

Pail Mall Gazette.
One of the sultan's weaknesses is fond
ness for confectionery, and a story coming
fresh from Constantinople shows that he
does not spare expense in indulging it.
"a short time ago." writes cor
respondent, "a German confectioner
travelled from Moscow to Constantinople in
the hope of securing a situation. Being
of an inquisitive turn of mind, he deter
mined to get a sight of the sultan, and so
kept look out in likely places. At last
the opportunity came, and as the sultan
was driven past his German admirer vigor-
ously saluted him. Unaccustomed to such
an exhibition Of cordiality, one of the sui
tan's officers thought it best to inquire if it
had any significance, and SO the German was
for the time taken possession of.
''His explanation proving satisfactory
and his innocence clear, and the avowal of
his avocatiOn, moreover, creating evident
interest, the man was dismissed with a
present and an injunction to turn up the
next day with clean skin and new clothes.
The result of the second interview was that
the confectioner was set to making pastry
as test of his powers in that art. and his
success was so complete that he was en-
gagged right off at a salary of 500 piastres
per month.
But better luck still awaited him. The
pastry found its way to the sultan's table,
and his highness was so pleased with it thai
he made the stranger from Germany his
confectioner at once with 1000 piasters
month for making tarts. AS both sides are
pleased with the arrangement made-the
sultan with his confectionery and the Ger
man with his pay-the outside world can
have nothing to say"

Webster calls the incapacity for receiving

joker, ''this is the distinguished composer,

Major roared in the printers ear: Il am

base ball. Then he went back to the palace

the great composer was raving mad.-San

THE LAST PIPE.

When head is sick and brain doth swim,
And heavy hangs each unstrung limb,

To watch the freight fash or glow.
AS each soft cloud floats up on high,
Some worry takes its wings to fly;
And Fancy dances with the flame,
Who Law so labor-cramped and lame;
While the spent viii, the slack Desire,
Rekndle at the dying fire,
And burn to meet the morrow's sun
With all its days. work to be done.
The tedious tangle of the Law
Your work ne'er done without some flaw;
Those ghastly streets, that drive one mad,
With children joyless, elders sad,
Young men unmanly, girls going by
Bold-v0iced, with eyes unmaideny;
Christ dead two thousand years agone,
And kingdom come still all unwon;
Your own slack self, that will not rise
Whole-hearted, for the great emprise-
Well, all these dark thoughts of the day,
As thin smokes shadow, drift away.
And see, those magic mists unclose,
And girls face amid them grows
The very look she's wont to wear;
The wild-rose blossoms in her hair;
The wondrous depths of her pure eyes;
The maiden soul that meath them lies
That fears to meet, yet Will not ny
Your stranger spirit drawing nigh.
What if our times seem sliding down?
She lives, creation flower and crown.
What if your way seems duh and long?
Each tiny triumph over wrong.
Each effort up through sioth and fear,
And she and you are brought more near.
So, rapping out those ashes light,
