Yet IL anybody else had said this,
which nobody would In Jasper Wards
presence-at least nobody who knew
him--Jasper would have been very
much grleved. He was proud of hts
calling; proud of his record on the
foot-board. Thirty years had he stood
there, and in all that time not one ac-
cident more serious than the fracture
OF a connecting-rod piston-bar had
occurred TO him. Not one life intrust-
ed to his care had been lost, nor even
Jeopardized. For twenty years Jas
per had run the same train, an accom-
mediation, and all the people up and
down that division of the line knew
Jasper Ward and his locomotive as
well rs they did their own dooryards.
His face at the engine window was so
familiar that to miss IL for a day or
two was TO take something out of the
daily life of the people who dwelt
near the tracks.
But now Jaspar was unhappy when
he should have been most content, for
he had finally relented and taken
Jack with him on the locomotive. His
aid fireman had been promoted to an
engine, and Jack had thereupon
begged so hard that his father finally
applied 10 the master mechanic for
permission TO take the boy on and
make an engineer Of him. It was
happy day for Jack when the master
mechanics reply was received; but
not so with old Jasper, for the message
contained these words: "I'll give you
new engine, too. Take out No. 451 to-
morrow. With your own boy on and
q shining new engine" the official
could not resist the temptation of add
ing, unbusiness like though 1t was
he wouldn't have added an unneces-
sary word TO anybody except old Jas
par-"you will be quite gay again,
and will be having all the young men
enyying you" The master mechanic
meant well, but IL was sad blow TO
Jasper. "A new enginew he exclaim-
ed, somewhat bitterly, "what have i
done that / should have my old pet

engine isn't good enough to run along
yet awhile, why, suppose the old en-
gineer will have TO go. too, pretty
soon. This is the beginning of the
end sure. They'll lay the old man of
before the year Is out"
His sorrow was greatly increased
when he boarded the new engine and
found that she was equipped with one
OF the new electric head-lamps with
which the company was then expert
menting. Nor was that the worst OF
IL. The whistle of the new machine
was a harsh, coarse whistle, as unlike
the sweet tones of the old whistle as
anything could be. The first sound of
it nearly drove Jasper wild. They'll
get me of hle road now" he exclaim-
ed; al can't run an engine with a
headlight like that on IL, and such a
whistle. They'll lay the old man off,
but they can't say he hasn't made
time. They can't say that" Making
time is a sort of hobby with all good
locomotive engineers. With Jasper II
was a mania. IAN engineer isn't

WOMEN AND CRIMINALS.

Tradition states that it was long the
custom in England to pardon any con-
demned convict if on the morning set
for his execution a respectable woman
appeared at the foot of the gallows and
announced her desire to marry him. 1t
also states that the number of applicants
to marry persons condemned for capital
Offenses became so great that the scat
fold was bereft of its victims. This, it
is true, happened at time when men
were sentenced to be hanged for robbing
hen rOost or stealing four-and-six-
pence. At length the quarrels among
women to obtain the hands of persons
sentenced to be hanged became so
numerous and fierce that the custom of
granting pardons was abolished by
statute.
The flower trade in all large Ameri-
can cities is never so brisk as when
is on trial for some revolving
deed that shocks the moral sentiment
of the community. A court room at
such time resembles conservatory or
a hall fitted up for floral display. The
seats, even those ordinarily reserved for
witnesses and members of the bar. are
occupied by women of wealth and
fashion, who boast of social position.
The desperate is supplied with food
that would delight an epicurean prince,
but the like of which never passed the
lips of saint or phiianthrepiSt. A month
rarely passes in which the papers do
not give an account of woman's tender
ness to crime, as the case of BUTLER,
the CaSSville murderer, who elOped
from prison last week with the jailer's
daughter.
History and observation unite in con-
firming the statement that women do
not love 1.-The pure. the true, the good
and the beautiful in man, though they
may admire and respect the qualities of
the mead and heart. Few, if any, have
ever known woman to become des-
perate or broKen-hearted on account of
unrequited love for some man of sterling
moral qualities. Such men seldom have
much feminine affection laviShed upon
them at all. They are respected and
honored, whether married or single, but
the love extended to them is of the con-
siStency of pale and watery moOnshine.
Desperate, passionate devotion is not
the reward of virtue. ItTarely goes out
to manly excellence. 1t belongs to per-
sons of an entirely different character.
1t is, therefore. no marvel that dis
tinguished writer comes to the cOnclu-
sion that love is not "heaven-bOrn," but
that it originates in place most dis
tant from that serene abode.

OUR EAST AGE.

One of the curious features of our
modern life is the absence of childhood.
That once supremely happy period of
human existence has been eliminated
from the old dramatist's "Seven Ages of
Man." There is babyhood, very short
period of what is called youth remain
ing. but all the rest of life is manhood
and womanhoOd. Who are to blame for
abolishing childhood with all its JOYS,
pastimes, sports and blessings from the
brief span of human existence? Who
have encouraged prattling infants to
Jump from babyhood to womanhood and
manhood at a single bound? The par
Elephants in this horrible guilt and
shame are very numerous. The nurse,
the doctor, the dentist, the kindergar-
ten instructor, the public and private
school teacher, the music and dancing
master are all more or less to blame for
sacrificing beautiful childhood on the
altar of fashion. The milliner, dress
maker and tailor have also aided and
abetted the diabolical work. Doting
mothers, who dress their boys and girls
so finely every day in the week that
they cannot play for fear of soiling
their clothes, are perhaps most to
blame.
The iconoclasts who have broken all
the idols in the beautiful temple of
childhood and have put nothing back

of eternal Punishment to land where
there is no prattling or playing, poetry
or pleasure, and where the gloomy,
mOrose and prosaic are not at rest. The
literary and historic vandals who have
marched under the banner of truth to
the destruction of fairies, guardian an
gels and other innocent creatures re-
garded sacred by even barbarians and
savages, are deserving of punishment
still more severe. In destroying the in
tellectual delights of childhood they
have helped destroy childhood itself.
DARWIN, HUXLEY and MILL, in at
tempting to evolve a man from an oyster,
have made one that required no child
hood in the process of full development.
A comic paper recently presented a
world Of truth in an illustration. 1t
was full dress children'S ball at the
seaside. A hundred lads OF eight and
ten, all dressed in swallOwtail coats,
were dancing with an equal number OF
maidenS of a still younger age. Mann
mas sat along the walls as chaperones
and duennaS. In the window receSSeS
and curious hooks and corners the little
ones were flirting as desperately as
young people of larger growth. 1t was

COLD AND THE POOR.

When an open or very mild winter
occurs, people say it is favorable to the
Door. They think that it will be favora-
BILE to them because they will require
less fuel and clothing. and probably less
expensive food or meat. But, paradox
cal as it may seem, a gentleman of ex-
tensive observation in some of the large
cities states that mild winters are very
unfavorable to the poor of both sexes.
He declares as the result of his ObServa-
ton that they get along much better
during winters that are characterized
by continuous clear and cold weather
and sufficient snow to make good sled
ding.
To skilled workingmen, who work in
shoe shops and factories, the character
of the winter makes very little differ
ence, as they are likely to have regular
employment whether the weather is
warm or cold. For unskilled laborers,
however, cold winter is likely to fur
nish the most employment. Several
kinds of business, as cutting ice,
handling coal and manufacturing
clothing, are likely to be brisk dur
ing cold weather, but quite dull in mild
weather. The Strengthening and pack
ing of animals, which employ many
persons in every city like st. Paul, are
prosperous during continuous cold
weather. As there is a great demand
for clothing. women find constant en-
ployment. When the ground freezes
hard teaming becomes lucrative and
prosperous. Even heavy snOwfalls ap-
pear to be favorable to the poor. The
snow must be removed from the tracks
of the street car lines, and from the
sidewalks and depots. There is. then
more wood to saw and more coal to be
brought in. More help is demanded ia
the household in the winter.
1t IS & matter of common observation
that people, men especially. spend less
money when at work than when :Eey
are idle. The man who works hard all
day cutting ice, shoveling snow. dress
ing hogs, driving a team or hauling
goods, is glad to eat warm supper at
home and go to bed. If he Is without

There will be no end to the extrava-
giant stories that will be floating around
for the next two weeks of the immense
fortunes that numberless persons made
out of the great wheat deal. And, yet,
when everything is sifted down, all
the fortunes that were made outside of
'"old HUTCH's" syndicate could be put
into one pocketbook. The old man
held all the cards in his own hand, and
there was no show for outside players
except to bet on "HUTCH's" hand.
"OLD HUTCH" who is the king of the
pen, is character in his way. The old
mans weakness is in looking upon the
wine when it is reddest, which he
does as regularly as the day rolls
around. But he takes mighty good care
not to gaze upon the ruddy drops until
the board of trade has closed business
for the day. Whenever there is wheat
deal on hand his brain is sure to be cool
and his nerves steady.
