experiment

approaching, when hailed with delight the
arrival Of my old college chum, DIR. Flagg,
who had lately come into possession Of
large fortune, and was taking short
season Of rest in consequence. persuaded
him to spend the summer with me. He was
young, handsome and fancy free, a model
husband for any girl. 1 was a frequent
visitor at the buttons, for we had all be-
come the best of friends. Here was the
chance for my experiment. / introduced
Walter to Cora and Lulu, but gave him no
clue TO my designs on him, contenting N.Y.
self with showing him Cora's beauty.
Lulu was a nice girl, but too ordinary to
deserve comparison with her companion.

school hours. 1 knew it, because l was

shy fellow, and it amused me to see his
love-mahing.
Silver Springs was delightful summer
resort, so healthful indeed that there was
barely sickness enough to keep me fairly
busy. This suited me. 1 did not enjoy
thriving on others misfortunes, and was
only too glad Of the leisure obtained by this
happy state Of affairs.
Wen, Cora-Diiss Williams was very
grateful 20 me. 1t seemed as though she
OWNED my kindly purpose and wished to
thank me, for one delightful, dewy evening

GUILTY OF PERJURY.
How an Advocate Caught n Witness In
Very Clever Way.


Very Clever Way.
It is Of Warren, the author Of "Ten Thou
sand Year" that this sharp practice in
the examination of a man accused Of swear
ing falsely In a will case is related.
The prisoner being arraigned, and the
formalities gone through with, the prose-
cutor, placing his thumb over the seal, held
up the will, and demanded of the prisoner
il he had seen the testator sign that instru-
ment, to which he promptly answered that
he had.
"And did you sign it at his request as
subscribing witnessP' ~ did" Twas it
sealed with red or black wax :" :'with red
wax" 'tDid you see him seal it with red
wax." 81 did" "Where was the testator
when he signed and sealed this willl" "In
his bed" "Pray, how long piece of wax
did he useP' About three or four inches
long" "Who gave the testator this piece
of waxl' 81 did" "Where did you get
itr' ''From the drawer of his deskln
How did he light that piece of waxl''
"With a candle, "Where did that piece
Of candle come 'FRONT.'" 81 got it out of a
cupboard 10 his room" "How long was
that piece of candle!' ssPerhaps four or
five inches long" "Who lit that
piece of candlef' al Lit it" "What
within "With a match" "Where did
you get that matchi' "On the
mantel shelf in the room.r Here Warren
paused, and fixing his large, deep blue
eyes upon the prisoner he held the will up
above his head his thumb still resting upon
the seal, and said, in solemn, measured
tone: " Now, sir, upon your solemn oath,
you saw the testator sign that viii; he
signed it in his bed; at his request You
signed il, as a subscribing witness; you
saw HIM seal it; 1t was with red wax he
sealed it; piece of one, two, three or four

bench some day and il might be well to put

Cincinnati Enquirer Hon. BENJAMIN Har-
risOn, Of Indiana. the distinguished descend
ant Of his grandfather, is not making
progress toward the Presidency. He has
four votes instructed from his own State,
while Gresham has most of the remaining

tons Of several other great States i'm addi-
ton. Harrison was used as a cat's-paw in
1854, and received no return save the loss of
his United States Senatorship. He is again
being used as a cat's-paw this year to tho
disgrace OF the Republican party Of In
diana.
Albany Argus In all likelihood the uncer-
tainty that some Republican journals show
as TO whether Blaine wants TO DO a candi-
date again for President or not, is genuine
and not assumed. There arc men without
guile in Republican editorial rooms as wen
as in other departments Of activity, and, I'M
dOubtedly, such really suppose that Blanc

letter. Familiarity with the mans past per-
fOrmanccs In letter-writing should have led
20 more caution In accepting his statements (;
but hero worship and tho critical examIna-

STARTLING CONTRASTS.
Difference b tween the East and the We
IInalar n War Tariff

Difference tween the East and the West
Under . War Tariff.
Nothing shows more significantly the un-
balancing and filching propensities and
practices of the thieving tariff than the
wealth contrasts between the communities
especially artisan and those which are main
ly agricultural-the one being taxed by the
tariff, of course, for the benefit of the other.
A New England Congressman said in q
speech recently that his section, which is
the poorest naturally in the United States,
has one-eighth of the Nations wealth to q
thirteenth Of its population; that it has one
eighth Of all the manufacturing capital and
more than half the savings banks deposits
Of the United States. 1t holds, besides,
farm mortgages on two to three thousand
millions Of money loaned to Western farm
ers, the latter even running into debt to
such staggering amounts as this in their
constant labors to provide plenty of forage
Tor the tariff COW, which the East is milk
ing so profitably.
There is the us a Uis: On one side more
than half the Nations savings banks de-
posits to q thirteenth part of its people,
fairfield, however, and on the other side
mortgage and debts twice as large as the
bonded Indebtedness Of the United States.
This New England Congressman, from
his privileged position, boosted, says the
Louisville Couricr-JouTndl, of certain wealth
contrasts between New England and the
South, also another section mainly agri-
cultural and tributary. In the New En-
gland States there is an average of $40 Of
savings-bank deposits to every man, woman
and child, while in the South the proportion
Is quarter Of a cent to each.
This is the way it works, and If all the
country were on the same side of the tariff
thimblerig as New England, what grand
panacea for commercial ills would it be, to
be srrei But, unfortunately, there must be
payers as well as receivers of the tariff
bounties, and where the shoe pinches is the
fact that there are twenty-five payers to
one receiver Of the loot among the various
classes of producers.
The most wonderful part Of it Is vet to
come. Those tribute payers have twenty
five times as many ballots as those who
are skinning them thus by means of laws
passed by an elective body.

Remarpxable Coinridence.

In 1851 two boys entered the examination
for admission to Williams College. One of
them came from town in the interior of
New York, the other from Western Massa-
chusetts- They had never meteor heard of
each other before, but in the allotment of
college rooms were thrown together as
chums. They occupied the same room
through their entire college course, and
after graduating one of them went to Kan
sas and the other to Nebraska to grow IN
with the country. In 1873, when the roll
was called in the United States Senate.
these two boys stood up together to be
sworn in as Senators. One was John James
ingalls, and the other Phineas W. Hitchcock.
Of Nebraska.
