CHAPTER XXI.
HARRY LEARNS A NEW WORD,

HARRY LEARNS A NEW WORD.
I am Informed, by those who ought to
know, that a credit balance at ones bankers
possesses great virtues as an elevator of both
morals and character. That, apart from
any sordid consideration or misery joy, it
enables man to face with greater courage
the smaller ills and annoyances of life, rem
ders him less liable to many temptations,
teaches him to regard his fellow-creatures
with more affectionate eyes, and generally
to acquiesce in the wisdom Of the arrange
ment which made the world as it is. If this
be so the universal desire to grow rich may
have for it's handspring the noblest motives,
As in nine cases out Of ten woman holds
money in far greater reverence and awe than
a man does, the possession of such balance
should be to her doubly gratifying and
elevating. With money woman is power.
1t was the weak concession, begun years ago
for mans selfish ends, completed to-day for
the sake of Justice. that a woman has any

done, and the glory of Harry's hair gone
forever
Beatrice positively sobbed. She gathered
up every thread of gold kissed and wept
over the wreck, then put it away to be treas
ured up. She clasped her disfgured darling
to her breast.
"Oh, my poor little boyr she cried. "My
little shorn lamb! Oh, it was cruel, too
cruell A cruel, wicked mother am to you,
my pet" She Rugged the boy, and bewailed
the loss of his curls-a loss which the late
proprietor appeared to view with intense sat
isfaction. He was experiencing new sensa-
ton, and at every age new sensation is q
matter of great interest. d
Presently something seemed to stir Bea-
trice into great animation. 'tMother!" she
said, 'mother! LISTEN my pet, say after
me, MOTHER
He smiled his little smile, pursed up his
lips, and made, for the first attempt, very
fair imitation of the word. The tears
streamed down Beatrices cheeks. She kissed
the boy passionately. "Say it again-say
it always" she cried, 'mother, mother,
mother"
The little autocrat, being in high good
temper, consented to humor her, and all the
way to London Beatrice taught her boy the
new word-even made him dimly compre-
bend that it was in future to be the title of
the person whom his lisping tongue had un-
til now only given the name of Bee Bee, or
some such infantile rendering of the style by
which he heard her addressed.
The comfort which his readiness to catch
up the new word brought to Beatrice's heart
almost compensated for the regret she felt at
the ruthless deed which had been done by
the scissors. 81

The Public Printing.

]. Guest King, of Annapolis, whose bid
for the State printing was 81 800, conclud-
ed that he could not do the work at that
sum without Joss, and asked to be released.
The contract was then awarded to the next
lowest bidder, Mr.. George 7. Melvin, also
of Annapolis, whose offer was $1,000.
Mr.. Melvin may be sorry, before the ses-
sion is over, that he did not withdraw his
bid, too.
Two years ago, the first year under the
contract system, the printing was very much
behindhand, and the acts were not ready
for distribution until long after the new
laws were in force Laws, unless 1t is
otherwise specified, take effect on the first
of June. In order to prevent their pub
lication in the newspapers, very few took
effect from the date of their passage, and
the most of them were in force some weeks
before even the officers of the state knew
what they were, much less the people The
people don't know to this day the sub
stance of some of the acts of the sessions
of 1882 and 1884, except those who have

A Saving Of $4,000.

When Mr. Cleveland came into office,
Reform and Economy was to be the order,
and he surrounded himself with Cabinet
in accord with this sentiment Shortly
after the new Administration got to work,
Secretary of the Treasury Manning adj
dressed letters to the various collectors
asking them to report what reductions In
force could be made and what changes were
necessary to improve the service. Collector
Edwin H. Webster at the Baltimore Gus
tom House, received one of these letters,
and accordingly made report, suggesting
changes and reductions, making an annual
saving to the government OF S2O,OO0 a
year. If this report had not been called
for, it is possible that Collector Webster
would not have made any suggestions.
None were made before, although to enforce
economy in expenditures was part of the
collectors duty.
A special agent of the Treasury recently
made further investigation, and his re-
port included suggestions as to further re-
auctions in the salaries of some Of the
clerks and employees, and recommended the
adjustment of Il number OF Offices. The
suggestions and recommendations have beer
adopted by the Treasury Department, t'
take effect on the 10Th inst. This vii
make further saving. of 100000 to th'
government, and total of $4,000.

Ridiculous Predictions.

ITron tbe announcement of the death Of
VicePresident Hendricks President CleVe
land determined to attend his funeral. I'm
mediately the sensationalist began to pre-
diet accident to the train that would carry
the President, and his possible death, and
pictured the turmoil and danger arising
from an interregnum. Some people be-
came nervous and excited, and the feeling
became infectious and spread rapidly. The
papers that started the silly agitation day
after day continued to discuss the perils of
the Presidents trip to Indianapolis, and
the public generally began to feel that 1t
was Mr. Cleveland's duty to remain in
Washington. Prominent persons in all
parts of the country telegraphed the Presl-
dent not to undertake the journey, Mrs,
Hendricks adding her counsel to the same
effect, prompted, no doubt, by Gov. Eng
lish and other leading citizens of lndianap-
oils. The members of the Senate and the
House in Washington, regardless of party,
and the Supreme Court Justices, all adj
vised the President not to attend the fu-
neral, and in obedience to what seemed
general sentiment, the President on Satur-
day decided not to 90.
In giving the reason for this decision
he said
~ am now reminded by some OF the best
and most patriotic and thoughtful of our citi-
zens that the real and solemn duties OF my
Office are at the national capital, and that IN
the present peculiar and delicate situation |
ought not to take even the remote chance OF
accident incident to travel, and that
| ought not to inflict upon my countrymen
even the unrest and anxiety attending my de-
parture, absence and return, IN attendance
upon the funeral ceremonies"
In view of the excitement created on the
subject, the President acted wise y in not
attending the Presidents funeral. Il
was silly piece of business from the be
ginning. and shows how ridiculous the
American people can become.

Thought He Was Dead.

a recent pumber of the Weekly Statement
of the Mutual Life of New York SAYS There
has just ended in Baltimore, Nd, a political
contest of unusual bitterness, between the
regular Democracy and some very influential
citizens, who, with their following, were
known as the Independents. In connection
with this there is quite good joke being told
at the expense of Col. Charles Marshall, OF
that city, Col. Marshall took a very active
part in the canvass, being one of the leading
Independents. The Independents were SO
badly beaten at the polls that the leaders are
said by the regulars to be dead. This com
pany had an endowment insurance on the life
of Col Marshall, which fell due and was paid
few days after the election, and some of his
friends, seeing the company's check for SlO,-
i44.29 on his desk, have started the report that
the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New
York were so thoroughly convinced that Col.
Marshall was dead that they have paid his life
insurance in full.
