Stiles, while drunk, called upon her and

that he pay for iodging that he previously

answer. She Immediately smote him over
the head with a stove-poker which was
concealed among the folds of her dress,
and now Stiles is no more. The coroner's
jury acquitted the woman, and now it is
safe to say that man will pause and rer
fleet for some time before insulting her.

CHARITY ABUSED.
a Corpse That Counted the Money Com
trfbuted to Bury 1t.


baltimore (sd) Special
Several days ago a pretty little woman
went to one of the Methodist churches in
southwest Baltimore and asked for money
to bury her dead husband. She gave her
name as Hester Green and said she was
ashamed to ask the city to bury him. Two
worthy ladies were sent out to investigate
the case. They went to a house on Parkin
street. There was Grape on the door. all
the blinds were closed, and the stiffness of
death brooded over the place. They
entered the house. In one corner of q
darkened room lay corpse; near it was
the wife bowed down in grief. The ladies
looked at the body, then comforted the
bereayed woman.
The pathetic story so touched the hearts
OF the brethren that seventeen dollars was
raised to give him Christian burial. Next
day one of the ladies who had inyestigat-
ed the case went to the house and found
the wife a little more resigned to the will
of God" as she expressed it, and the
corpse still there. The money was left and
the lady departed with the consciousness
of having done good deed. She found
after walking a few squares that she had
left her umbrella. She returned to get it,
opened the door, and there sat the corpse
counting the money and clinking one dol
lar against another to see that it was not
counterfeit. The lady was thunderstorm,
and, although she was sold, was deter
mined not to be beaten out of seventeen
dollars, SO she compelled the corpse to re-
turn the money that had been contributed
for the purpose of burying him like q
Christian.

The best speech that was made during

was on trial for assault with intent to

INDIVIDUALITY.
The Subtle Personal Quality That Should
Pervade Your Work.

Every man work is marked by quail
ity of its own. 4 similar work, both in
kind and degree, may perhaps be done
by others more swiftly, more efficiently.
more Systematically, than by the one to
whom it is entrusted. yet that one per-
sons work will have a subtle personal
quality not to be exactly matched in the
work of the others. The question. then,
is not whether another could do the
work which you are doing more quickly
and more thoroughly than you are doing
II, but whether any one can do your
work with just exactly the quality which
you personality gives TO it. There is
room in the world for all kinds of work,
done in all kinds of ways, by all kinds of
people. You and your work may be
only a single special note in the great
orchestra of earth and sky; take care
that that note be not lacking in the great

WAsmseroS, D. o., Jan. 30, The
House Committee on Agricultural to-
day began the consideration Of the
bills intended to prevent the spreadof
plcuo-pneumonia among domestic
animals, The committee was adj
dressed BY Mr.. Wilson, Of Iowa; Rep
resentative breckenridge, ofKentuckyi
Curtis, Of New York; Commissioner
Colmau, ofthe Department Of Agri-
culture; DR., salmon, Of tho Bureau
Of Animal industry; Lloyd, Of Mary
land, aud Mr.. Towers, Kansas City.
DR.. Salmon explained the nature Of
plenro-pneumonia. He said the flesh
ofinGected animals wa not injurious
as food, and no bad effects had been
known to result from its use. The
disease, he said, was communicable to
animals within period Of fifteen
months after infection, therefore the
quarantine should be extended to a
period OF eighteen months at least.
Mr. Wilson expressed the opinion that
the trade in calves between the East
aud West facilitated the transmission
of disease among animals, All Of the
speakers favored a liberal appropria-
ton to enable the Department Of Ag-
rioulturo to establish and maintain
quarantine and stamp out the disease
They favored q measure that would
allow damages to be paid by shippers

tlemon express the opinion that the
