FARMER BROWNS DEATH.
NeiRhbors Think He May Have Been Mur- dered by His Aged Wife and Her Lover.

Neighbors Think He May Have Been Mur-
 dered by His Aged Wife and Her Lover.
 LONDON, Ont, Dec. 15.-The d,ath of ar aged farmer near Durboyne, as told by the neighbors, is suggestive of murder. Brown was married, and his wife, aged 6o years, it is reported, fell in love with lad Of 17, living in the vicinity. From the beginning of her infatuation for the youth, the neigh bors say that Brown was abused and neg lected in every way.
 Brown and his wife were married ln le4o and never had any children. For year or two past Brown had been in ill health, and the lad referred to has worked the farm on shares, residing in the Brown household During these two years the lad has, with the connivance of Mrs. Brown, abused and beaten the old man in the most shameful manner, assault being of daily occurrence. An inquest or inquiry into the manner Of Browns death is proceeding. few months ago the lad was fined heavily for assaulting Brown and Mrs Brown paid the fine and he returned to the farm and continued his ill treatment.

How He Secured a Pass.

When Agnes Booth was here as Mrs. Schoeffel her husband was on the door up stairs at McVicker's one night when young man presented himself and asked that the privileges of the house be extended by reason of the young mans position as correspondent of some eastern newspaper. MT. Schoeffel said he could not recognize the young man to that extent.
 'I desire to know who you are, sir," said the correspondent. "IT attend to you in my paper"
 My name is Schoeffel, sir; John B. Schoeffel. You can have my name and be - to you, sir"
 II didn't hear the name aright," said the young man.
 ''Schoeffel, sir; John, John Schoeffel."
 ''Write it for me; want to get it right, :" thundered the correspondent.
 Mir. Schoeffel wrote the name on a card and almost flung it in the correspondents face.
 That night when the "count up" was going on MT. Schoeffel found his autograph among the tickets, and over it was written ''pass two" The correspondent had utilized the autograph at the box office Mir. Schoeffel is now the partner of Henry Abbey.-Chicago Times

Col. Shepard's Advice.

When Frank Gray went east last spring to become business manager of The New York Mail and Express he naturally felt timid lest his hearty western manners should shock his new associates and stand in the way of his success in that new field. One day his em- ployer, Col. Elliott F. Shepard, invited him to lunch at Delmonico's, and a superb lunch it was, too involving numerous courses and a vast amount of display. After this showy affair Col Shepard drew Gray aside and said very seriously to him: My young friend, 1 should grieve to wound your feel ings, but there is one thing which I think I ought to tell you-one bit of advice which may come with propriety from me, an older and more experienced man, to you who are just starting upon business career"
 "Why, certainly" said Gray, eagerly. ''You have a right, Col Shepard-an un- doubted right to advise me in matters which pertain to our mutual affairs; nay, it is your duty, for, as you say, am young and unso- phisticared, while, on the other hand, you are older and widely experienced. So, there fore, I beg that you will feel no hesitancy about confiding to mo this counsel of which you speak, and which, suspect, will greatly facilitate my success in New York journal ism"
 "Bur fear," replied Col. Shepard, "that l shall wound your feelings"
 "Have no fears on that score,n cried Gray; ''it ill behooves either of us to finch in the face of duty"
 "Well, then," said Col. Shepard, impress Always eat ice cream with Q fork-in fact, never eat with spoon when & fork can be used instead" ."-Eugene Field in Chicago News
