A Story with . Moral.

A few years ago, when the gambling
houses were running wide open, young
man who held IL good position, vial more
responsibility than salary attached.to it.
in prominent down town office, fell q
prey to the gambling passion. His salary
quickly exhausted at the fascinating game
of faro. it was but short step to the cash
drawer of his employers, and he soon
found to his dismay that he was in the
hole to the extent of some hundreds Of
dollars. Exposure seemed inevitable and
he visited friend and solicited loan of
$50. Asked why he wanted 1t he told the
friend all and said he desired to leave town
to avoid arrest and humiliation. The
amount was forthcoming, but like many
others, he sought to win back his losings
with that small stake, and, finding this
impossible, he sought to drown his sorrow
in drink. The friend who loaned him the
money with which to leave town saw him
in maudlin state in hell on West Mad
ison street, and gave him up as lost. Here
endeth the first chapter.
The young victim of faro awolSe the
next morning with very large head and
in fit of desperation. Taking sudden
resolve. he visited his employers and
made clean breast of his follies, tempta-
tions ard crime. They liked the young
man. as he was bright and talented, and
they treated him kindly. They agreed
that If he would sign the pledge and alb
stain from gambling they would put him
in position where he would have no
temptation and would deduct from his
salary SEQ per month until his defalcation
was made good. Well, he accepted the
proposition and held manfully to his
pledges. In little over two years he had
discharged the debt and was attending
strictly to business in way that gained
for him the admiration and good will of
the firms senior member. Last year the
junior member drew out and the young
man was given the partnership. A few
months ago the head of the firm died, and
now the business is controlled by the
same young man whose whole life was
nearly wrecked by an unfortunate mis-
take. This is true story, and there are a
few who will be able to furnish the char
acters with their proper names.-Chicago

John Ch,naman in Australia,

On gold fields that have been abandoned
by the whites, either because they ap.
peared to have been worked out or be-
cause the yield of the precious metal was
not sufficiently satisfactory in European
estimation, the Chinese always make a
good living, and sometimes secure valu-
able prizes. They enter into possession
of the abandonded workings, resume
operations in their leisurely, methodic
fashion, and ore occasionally rewarded for
their perseverance by the discovery of q
handsome nugget. But "fossicking" is
their favorite pursuit on these deserted
fields. This consists in slowly and de-
liberately raking over the unsightly heaps
of upturned earth that are the dismal
mementoes of the white mans former
presence.
The vigilant eye Of the Chinaman de.
tects in these hurried accumulations many
minute particle of gold, and sometimes
piece Of quartz studded with the
precious metal that escaped the observa-
ton of his white predecessor; and there
is rarely day on which he does not re-
turn to his tent In the evening the richer
for this process. In travelling through
the gold regions of Australia, no sight is
more familiar than the abandoned dig.
