Il
with the amount marked on it which it
is customary to place around packages OF
money, he withdrew one OF the bills and
laid the others on the desk. The clerk
was then called t. some other part of the
room and can give no further informa-
tion. Other evidence conclusively shows
that notwithstanding Mr.. Jones previ-
GUS integrity, he has yielded to tempta-
ton and gone the way of many others.
1t is mentioned incidentally that that
very morning Mr.. Jones said he was in
great need of $500 the exact amount
extracted from the package. Mr.. Knick-
er, in consideration of Jones former
uprightness and strict discharge of duty
will not prosecute"
John read this once, twice, three
times. He only uttered two words: my
God"
Falling back in his chair with wide
open eyes he sat staring at the wall.
The clock ticked away on the mantle
shelf, the fire grew lower and almost
died, the lamp sputtered and smoked,
but still John:Jones sat back in his chair,
staring, staring at the wall. Finally it
gradually became light and the noise OF
traffic began in the street. John moved
uneasily, looked around the room
and got up. His head, hc
thought, was aching somewhat harder
than on the night before, and he batLed
it. There was spot on his cuff and he
put on clean pair. Yes, he was sure
his head was aching harder. What was
that noise Why, of course, some one
was knocking at his door. He would
open it and see who it was-a messenger
boy. He took the message, opened it,
and forgot to read it. He was standing
still and wondering if it was fogey out
side or If his eyes were dim.
"The lady said TO wait for an answer, "
said the boy.

1t seems that Mr.. Blaine is going
to give his friends every opportunity
to nominate him without his consent.
He has engaged his passage home
and will sail on June 16. The Re
publican convention will meet on
June 10, and will no doubt nominate
Mr.. Blaine. who will at that time be
in mid-ocean, and therefore beyond
all personal communication, which
will enable his friends to rush his
nomination through the convention
without any question as to whether
be will accept it or not The mere
fact that be sails three days before
the convention meets shows conclu-
sively that be is q party Of some such
scheme as this, for otherwise he
would be too much interested in the

unfairly cut himself Of from all

Newspapers In 1883.

From the edition of Geo. P. Rowell d
Cos American Newspaper Directory, !"
published April End Qts twentieth Year, 1t
appears that the Newspapers and Periodi-
Gals of all kinds now issued in the United
States and, Canada, now number 1880,
showing gain of 800 during the last IL
months and of 1916 in 10 years.
The publishers Of the directory assert
that the impression that when the proprie-
tor of newspaper undertakes to state what
has been his exact circulation, he does not
generally tell the truth is an erroneous one:
and they conspicuously offer a reward Of
500 for every instance in their book for
this year, where It can be shown that the
detailed report received from publisher
was untrue.
