Mr.. Childs's Business Methods.
Atlanta Constitution.


George W. Childs, of the Philadelphia Ledger,
must owe his success entirely to his pure and
unadulterated goodness. Imagine the Cheeryble
brothers rolled into one, and you have Mr.
Childs. When he purchased the Ledger it was
losing money. The first thing he did was to
employ crowd Of men at good salaries Then
he presented them with shares of stock.
Straightway the enterprise began to prosper.
The employees We're induced to deposit certain
portion of their weekly earnings to be invested in
real estate or stocks They all made money.
Some of them are to-day worth from $4,000 to
$6OO0 O0 Every summer the hardest worked
men are sent to travel all the country at the
expense of the Ledger. When they are broken
down their salaries are continued just the same.
Five years ago the financial editor retired. Mr..
Childs ordered his salary to 90 on. The book
keeper told him that the man was worth $500, 000
THAT shows him to be careful man." was the
reply. what he has saved is nobody's business.
Pay him his salary" Now, all this is opposed to
the modern method of business. And yet just
such methods have made the Ledger proprietor
rich, powerful and happy. 1t reads like story

Greenvlle, Tenn. Letter.
The death of General John Morgan was COM
passed here during the war by the treachery and
demoniac daring OF wild, reckless woman. She
was the graceless daughter-in-law of Mrs. Col.
Williams, who was the cheerful hostess of the
great cavalryman on that ill-starred night
Lucy Williams rode her horse through the
stormy darkness and summoned the federals
from Bulls Gap to surprise Morgan and capture
or kill him. The history of the deed is too fa-
mar TO need repetition The wanton and
cold .blooded heroine of the exploit was after
wards divorced from her worthy husband and led
the country with married man of Greenvile by
the name Of Fitzgerald. They went to
Arkansas and lived, I believe, as coparceners
in adultery at Helena. Sometime ago she
abandoned Fitzgerald, and married man of
some means who was then widower of three
months standing. In few months after the
marriage with the ex-Mrs. Williams, the new
husband also died, and she has disappeared with
the lucre Of which he was possessed Fitzgerald.
thus thrown overheard, and being afflicted with
a fatal malady wrote to his long abandoned wife
and family. confessing all his misdeeds and beg
ging to be allowed to return home to die among
his children. The request was granted him, but
did not profit him in his misery, for he died be-
fore he could reach home, and without seeing the
faces of his wronged wife and children

THE WATERMELON MORAL.

What Henpecked Husbands Owe to MT. Ed
gar L. Wakeman's Example.
Chicago Tribune:
Tho Tribune printed yesteday most pathetic
letter from E. L. Wakeman, written from the
clustered shades of Wisconsin, where he now
lives if not "the world forgetting" at least 'by
the world forgot" It was letter which betrayed
acquaintance with the epistles of the gifted and
unhappy Micawber. and in no way fell short of
the best efforts of that penman. There was in
it dim allusion to some other trouble
which had wrought on him and had de-
prlved him at the moment When he
needed it most of that which is most essential to
man. That is not digestion, as some have in
correctly fancied-no; nor is it the power of bor-
rowing money. 1t is home. Ordinarily the pri-
vate affairs OF man are not touched upon, be-
cause they are of no interest, but when it is the
home of a stricken man of genius that is con-
cerned, all are curious to know what they can
about the matter. So it may not be out of place
to tell of one little incident which illustrates
what Wakeman had to contend with, and which
also shows the versatility of the man and his
deep knowledge of human nature.
There had been some domestic controversy.
How it started is not known. Who was to
blame will perhaps never be decided One hasty
word led to another He was wearied with
working thirty SIX hours day, and with sup
porting single-handed the literary reputation of
Chicago, She may have been worn out with I'M
thankful domestic toll and the dull routine of
drudgery. AT all events word followed word,
until finally he was firmly but rapidly rushed
down the back stairs into the alley. In the
words of poet who had himself suffered.
Perhaps you were right to dissemble your love,
But why did you kick me downstairs
But Wakeman did not give way to this crush
ing blow. He did not throw up the sponge and
say all was lost. He brought to play all the
resources of his resourceful nature. He went to
the nearest meat market, bought the largest
watermelon he could find lugged it home in his
arms and laid it lovingly, gently, at the feet of
the one with whom ne had just had so severe an
encounter. Touched by this evidence that his
affection could stand even the rude trials to
which she had subjected it. she expressed her
sorrow, and they ate the melon together without
injurious consequences
But there came time when even the largest
melon that could be got failed to charm away
the demon of discord, and then it was that he
lost his home, and when the evil hour arrived
had no other place in which to take refuge save
the lonely monastery in a distant State, where
where he is now trying to regain the strength
which he lost in such an unequal battle.
In all this story of wreck and ruin, however,
there is one consolation. We have learned the
uses of the watermelon as a restorer of domestic
peace Let all husbands hasten to profit by it
while that interesting fruit is still in season.

The Art of Advertising.

Baltimore American
What science the art of advertising has be-
come, and how many millionaires owe their
wealth to the judicious use of printers ink and
space in the columns of influential daily papers
Bonner, of the New York Ledger piled up his
fortune by the increase in circulation obtained
by publishing the opening chapter of every new
story in papers all over the country, closing at
an interesting crisis, with the information that
the rest could only be read in the columns of the
New York Ledger. The cutest thing in the way
of a railroad advertisement was engineered by
Captain May, of the Pennsylvania railroad.
When Jules Verne's story of Around the
World in Eighty Days" was published in France,
a Philadelphia paper had it translated and
printed the story in installments. In that portion
where the author describes his railroad trip
from San Francisco to New York Captain May
had inserted original chapter specially devoted
to praise of the cars and track of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and highly complimenting the
undersigned" as he was accustomed to say
when speaking of himself. for accelerating the
progress of the party toward New York.

A Phenomenal Brother.

San Francisco Chronicle
suppose it is something of phenomenon but
know man here who takes his sister to all the
first nights at the theater and VINO actually gave
her q monopoly of the opera season. l was
praising him and saying all sorts of things COM
plimentary over his dutiful conduct. He said:
mo There's nothing wonderful or extra
ordinary about it. She is the only woman
know in whom have the most thorough conf
dence. She is always the same always pleasant
and affectionate, and to tell you .he candid
truth, am afraid she'll so and marry some of
those imitation men around here and be IN
happy all her life. She has nobody else to look
to, and I'll take care she does not have to look
to anybody else. suppose some day a genuine
man will come along. If he's genuine man I
won't object. Until he does come, old boy, she's
good enough for me, and il ever find as good q
girl I'll marry her."

fifteen years ago and experts say there is no
doubt the two pieces are of the same. This
point was more positively settled by another dis
covery. Upon the carpet found around the body
were several coarse, short, white hairs. Similar
hairs were upon the matched piece of carpet
in the Mitchell house Roaming around the
premises was an old white bull dog with half the
hair gone from his back. He had the run of the
house. and there seems TO be no doubt that the
hair upon both pieces of the carpet came from
his back The dog is now being we'll cared for
at the expense of the city, for he will probably be
one of the most important witnesses at the trial.
The most careful search of the premises failed to
bring to light any sign of blood. The crime had
been committed three weeks before the search
was made, so that ample opportunity had been
afforded in which to clear away the great guam
tlty OF evidence of this sort The police believe
the BODY was cut up in a sink on the second
moor and that the blood drained away as fast as
it flowed. They have examined the drain, how
ever, without success All the tools necessary
for the deed were found in Mitchell's shop, in
Guiding long sharp knives with which the doctors
say the body was cut In two at the waist and
fine tooth saws with which the bones
OF the legs were severed. One or two neigh
bors tell of piercing screams from a
woman's throat, which they heard come from
the Mitchell house just before midnight on Mon
day. Others are ready to swear they saw Nit
chell strike his wife heavily that evening By
going out the back door of the house, an unfre-
quenued street leads directly to the bridge over
the Charles river which is scarcely 600 feet
feet away. This is only portion of the EVIL
dence thus far, accumulated against Mitchell.
The police state that they have other important
facts which will be brough: out at the trial, and
they are still at work upon the case Mitchell
takes his arrest coolly. Several of his state
ments regarding his wife have been proved false,
but he emphatically protests his innocence, and
declares his belief that his wife will yet return.
His trial will not take place for some weeks.

How O Check Book in His Hands Shielded
General Grant from Intrusion.
t. the Editor of the Philadelphia Press.
Sir-In "Reminiscences of General Grant"
given by Mr.. Childs to last Sundays Press,
notice that, while he speaks of the opportunities
to which the General was subjected by mendi-
cants, and, suppose, place-hunters, on his visits
to the city, and his Mr.. Childs1 endeavors to
keep these persistent applicants from
annoying his guest, he does not say
how he contrived to do successfully. AS
well acquainted with Mr.. Childss measures
in shielding his friends. will take the liberty Of
telling the Press how he probably accom- plished
this matter. During one of General Grants
visit to this city, lady who devoted much time
and labor among the poor became conversant
with the fact that two female cousins of General
Grant, residing here, had, by series of mis-
fortunes, been reduced to extreme need but
were themselves too proud and independent to
make their necessities known to their illustrious
relative. Having no doubt that he would help his
connections if acquainted with their situation, tho
case was brought to the notice of Mr. Chiids for
presentation to General Grant. On hearing the
story. he (Mr Childs) at once said, DO not
trouble the General with this matter; he is
already overburdened. myself will give you
a check for this purpose" which he Immediately
did, and for large sum, making only the pro-
viso that the fact of his doing so should by no
means reach the ears of General Grant or his
family

A Name in the Sand.

Alone walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand;
stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year, the day.
AS onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast;
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my line away.
And so, methought, twill quickly be,
With every mark on earth from me.
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
VIII sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
OF time, and been, to be no more
Of me. my day, the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands,
And holds the waters in his hands,
know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame

10 SaranS Eyes
Without periphrastic word,
But Internationally,
Permit polymathic bard
To sing the eyes of SaRy.
Her ornamental, facund orbs
Impignorate all fancies,
And foeiliation one absorbs
From lovely Sally's glances.
No lippitude in them appears,
Of strahism not token;
They luculate like winter stars,
Or glass when it is broken.
But why coacervate her praise
With such nugacious jinglel
might connubial discord raise,
For Sally isn't single.
