binatiOn of peculiar circumstances. Inc
story may convey a useful lesson to
other ambitious young writers. Young
c., who writes very readily, is en-
ployed on morning newspaper. For
some time he had been engaged to an
estimable young woman in Ohio, and
was only waiting to make his fortune IN
the West to go back after her. He had
her picture, of course, and, submitting to
the wiles of the city editor, had permitted
q newspaper cut to be made from
it, the ostensible intention being to print
the cut as an ideal head, showing type
of American beauty. AT the same time
c. had written sketch of Montana
girl, who lived among the rough miners,
but retained her native mOdeSty, and
who did several wonderful things. In a
moment of abstraction he wrote his
sweetheart'S name in the copy as the
name of the young lady who was max
ing conquest of all the miners hearts
in Montana. Then the wicked city ed
itor, with an eye to literary symmetry,
inserted the cut, which was an adml-
rable likeness of the young woman.
Thus far, beyond the rage of c.
where he saw the fatal article in print,
no great harm had been done. But the
dreadful sequel soon followed. Some
how the exchange editor of the Police
Gazette saw the article, and soon after
it appeared, picture and all, in that
highIy-scented publication. with embel-
lishments that may be imagined. A
hated rival of C-'s saw it and took the
pains to send her copy, and also a
copy of the St.Paul paper originally con-
tanning it. for whiehC--'s sweetheart
knew he worked. Then there was war.

the command was abruptly given.

the ability to sleep
soundly from the time he gets into bed
until he wakens in the morning. That
fact was curiouSly illustrated, lone who
knows tells the Whisperer, during his
recent Southern trip. When Mr.. KELLY
arrived at brownsville he was given
room adjoining that occupied by two
young ladies, also from st. Paul, with
whom he was acquainted. One of the
young women has deathly fear of
thunder storms. Mr.. KELLY was tired
from his trip, and when he went to bed
proceeded to sleep in the highest style
of the art. The Soundness with which
he slum5ered would have done credit to
the Seven Sleepers. In the middle of
the night the young woman who was
afraid of thunder storms wakened. She
listened for moment and then awak-
ened her companion. ''Do wake up"
she said, sand keep me company. One
of those horrid storms is coming up.
Don't you hear it thunder9' Her friend
also listened, got up and put her ear to
the wall. Then, turning to the other,
she said, laughingly, II guess you can
go to sleep in peace. 1t is only Mr..

A good many business men would pay
a round sum to be able to sleep soundly
enough to snore. THE WHIsPERER.
