Be Kind to the Aged.

The loneliness of age! How few
think of this and treat with due ten
derness and consideration those who
have Outlived their generation, and
whose early companions and friends
have been taken from them ! Unable
to engage in the activities of life, they
arc no longer brought into contact and
sympathy with those around them,
and no tie of common interest and mu-
tual dependence binds them together.
Their views and tastes have naturally
grown apart. They share but little in
common with others. The future of
this life has nothing to inspire their
ambition or excite their hopes. What
calls forth the energies of others has
no inspiration for them. They neces
sarily, to great extent, live in a world
of their own, with which those around
them are not familiar. The cOmmun-
ings of their hearts are with the scenes
of the past and the companions of 9th
er years who have long ago passed
away. Lover and friend have been
taken from them, and their acquaint-
ance laid in darkness. The forms they
admired and loved are gone, the eyes
that looked into theirs with the ten
derest affection are sightless, and the
voices that cheered and stirred their
souls have long been silent. Their
early world of hope and joy has be-
come desOlation, and they sit in ST.
lence contemplating the ruin that has
been wrought. They have but little
to interest them in this world. They
are
''Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown"
to pass to the reunion that awaits them
and the glad greetings of those they
love. Who would not do what he can
to cheer the loneliness of age, to
smooth their pathway, and comfort
them in their declining years ! Meth

UNREQUITED LOVE.

In front of a Clark street clothing
store, says the Chicago News, a num-
Der of wax dummies stand, wearing
nice oyercOats and well shaped trou-
sers. Among the adult figures are
several youths attired in children's
kits, overcoats and knickerbockers.
Saturday afternoon roughly dressed
man, accompanied by his wife, stopped
to inspect some of the clothing on
show. A pretty little girl of about
four years chung to the wOmaR's dress.
Suddenly the little one caught sight of
the boy dummies. With a smile she
lOOsened her grasp on her mothers
dress and teddled toward a nice little
boy in knickerbockers. When she got
close enough she caught the little boy
by the sleeve of his Jacket. He paid
no attention to her. With IA puzzled
look on her bright face she drew back.
A bright idea crept into her small
brain. A smile broke out on her face,
and putting up pair of pOuting little
lips she stretched forth her hands and
laid them on each shoulder of the hard
hearted boy. A moment she waited
for the kiss to come. Flesh and blood
cOnld never have withstOOd the APP
peal. 1t almost seemed as if the little
waxen dummy would melt and pay the
tribute. But he did not He kept
staring straight ahead with look of
steadfast virtue in his blue eyes that
was provoking.
The little maiden was perplexed.
She drew back. Then she turned and
repeated the experiment. She stood
on her tip-t toes, but she couldn't reach
the little Boys mouth with her lips.
Tears came into her eyes and she tod
died back to her mother.
''Bad boy, mamma, bad boy" she
sObbed.
The little boy looked straight ahead
and never blinked. He had given IA
maiden her first taste of unrequited
love.

What 1t Does:

1t protects against adversely in business.
1t is a protection for lite insurance policies
1t is an investment and protection combined.
1t is better than u. 5. Governments and equally
secure.
1t protects dependent ones against the contin-
gency of death.
1t is a safe, sure and desirable investment, and
within the reach of all
1t guarantees that a certain amount of money,
with interest will be accumulated in a specified
time.
The amount that life insurance would cost hould
be credited profit the Bond as it takes the
place of such insurance
The instruments paid are like deposits made in a
Savings Bank and are returned to the Bond holder
at his option.
The Bond natures at specified time or at pre-
yious death for its face value, and guarantees a
definite sum in cash any year after the first.
The instruments paid on the Bond can be used in
business by hypOthecating it. This is a great ad-
vantage to those who may at any time need all the
money they can command or raise.
The 100000 policies representing two bill
lions of dollars of lapsed or surrendered insurance
between 1870 and 1880 would have been saved by
these Bonds
The Bond is not hampered by any conditions OF
restrictions and its cash value cannot be impaired
or Jeopardzed.

Giving Exact Change In Frisco.

The custom of having barmaids in sar
looms is gaining ground here. II has not
invaded the fashionable drinking places,
but the experiment has proved success
in the large beer saloons south of Market

before long to become general is the use 4

only ten years since the scent nickel
was introduced here. and 1t took six
months to accustom the public to the In

HOBART pASHAS ROMANCE.

A Dyi.g Comrades Reque.t-An Old
Soldiers Care for an Orphan.
Hobart Pasha, as the papers told when
he story of his death came across the
wires. was the fourth son of the duke of
Buckingham and distinguished naval
officer before he entered the sultan's
service and rose to Mohammedan honors
and dignities that no Christian had ever
before obtained.
During the early part-of his career,
while he was still in the English servi,e,
brother officer of his was SO severely
wounded that the surgeon announced to
MIN the mortal nature of his injury. The
lying man sent for the future pasha, to
whom he was greatly attached, and con-
ided to him a secret. He had married
girl who was of rather humble parent
lge, and because of his family's opposi-
ion the marriage had been kept con-
,ealed and the Girl rested under a stigma.
A child had been born to them before ne
eft England, and now that he was about
10 die he was anxious that it and its
mother should be righted in the eyes Of
the world. Complications as to its proof
nad arisen by the death of witnesses, but
he trusted to his friend Hobart to repair
his fault. IF you will pledge your honor
.or the truth of the marriage" he said,
the world will believe you, and you will
believe me when swear to you that 1t
is So"
When Hobart, now becomes Turkish
officer, returned to England, he under
took to comply with the request Of his
dead friend, but the young mother.
under the weight of her grief and the
equivocal position she occupied, had fol.
lowed her husband, and the dead mans
relatives, when he at last discovered the
child, refused to acknowledge it. Moth.
ing was left to him but take care Of the
little orphan himself, 30 he accepted the
charge with what grace he could muster,
snd when he left Ems and, as he did sooh
after, he placed her at famous school
for girls in the isle of Wight, where SO
many English women of rank have got.
zen their training and education.
Then he went back to his duties and
thought no more about her except to
send an occasional letter full of good
advice, with boxes of Turkish sweet
meats and trinkets. When she was II
years old, he got a letter from her full OF
passionate misery and stained with tears.
Some girl enemy had discovered the
mystery about her birth and taunted her
with it, and she wanted him to come and
take her somewhere, anywhere, away
from girls who were cruel. So the
5ender-hearted old soldier put himself
aboard the next steamer for home. anc
got his little protege, though what he
was to do with her he didn't quite know.
She was young, she was pretty; she clung
to him with tenderest gratitude and love,
and the hearts of even bronzed, gray
mustached old soldiers are not proof
against that, and so, as that, after all,
seemed the quickest and simplest solu-
ton of the trouble, and they both wished
it, they were married. And now, at 20,
she is left to mourn the loss of one of the
most brilliant and ring commanders
England ever prod ed. Here are all

nance, with Turkish coloring ready
