Death of a Polish Revolution
iStx

Henry Janko died Dec. 10 at his
country seat in Galicia, Austria, at
the ripe old age OF 80 years. He was
an old Polish revOlutionist. At 24
years Of age he took part in the great
Polish uprising OF 1901, in which
Prince Czartoryski became famous
and Gen. Dembinski gathered his first
laurels. In revolutionary struggles
OF 1840 Janko was an active partisan
OF the struggling Viennese against the
troops ofthe emperor. Again he Join
ed the revolutionary government OF
the Poles in their great instruction
OF 1868, in which. Gen. Langiewicz
was the most pronlinentpopular hero.
At the end Of that uprising Janko
was prosecuted for participation in
it and condemned to long term of
captivity. In 1865 already an am
nesty for political offenders was grant.
ed in Austria. All the intended re.
clpients of the grant were asked to
sign a. petition for mercy, and, being
assured of its passage, to join in an
address to the emperor returning
thanks for the mercy extended to
them. Janko refused signing the first
paper, and when he was asked to sign
the second he CURLY replied: II did
not petition for mercy, and did not
want it at the hand OF the emperor
Of Austria. I have no occasion to be

Good Intentions.

Fred Russell was exceedingly busy.
He had only lived in the city three
years, and was already known as .ris-
ing young man" The only trouble
seemed to be, he told himself. that he
had no time for anything except his
daily business.
He could not even write to his mot h.
er. For the last year, indeed, he
had sent her only an occasional, hur-
ried note. -.-ss[
One night, having finished his work
unusually early, he sat by the fire
thinking about her, and it was borne
in upon him. as she herself would
have said, to write her a long letter.
Just now there did seem to be an
unoccupied hour for it, and he went
to work with zeal. He described his
mode OF life at great length, inquired,
with careful interest, about all the
home affairs, and even tried 90 tell
her at the end that he really loved her
dearly, though he had seemed to neg
lect her OF late.
"There,' said he, when he had finish
ed; Il don't believe I've been as soft
on anybody since | was 8 boy, and
here register a vow that I'll write
every Week-as good letters, TOO, as |
know how to concoct,"- Youth' S

be difficult to trace her. The mystic.
rious death OF the woman had inter

no clue by which the agonized parents
could possibly discover their child,
and long since she had been given up
for dead.
In the course OF it's progress from
person to person, the story OF the
young music teacher and her little
charge had reached the banker and
his wife, who FASTENED to convince
themselves that Eva was their long
lost darling; the diamond crescent
which had been stolen for that very
purpose no doubt furnishing evidence,
if more had been needed than the
child's resemblance to her mother.
1t Is needless to say that the CRATE

Adele into their hearts and home as
daughter no less than their legiti-
mate offspring, and for me they de-
clared eternal friendship.
