A CHILD IN COURT.

How Little Girl Secured the Postpone
ment of a Trial, and q Gift.
With two little hands clinging to the
edge of the desk and her blue eyes
filed with tears as they just reached
the level of her fingers, a, little girl
yesterday gazed into tho plying face
of Judge Steckler in his court CholS-
ing back her sobs, she said: "Ploase,
Mr.. Judge. mamma can not como here
to-day"
The judge inquired the reason, and
then the child's lips began to culver
again and the tears rolled down hor
cheeks as she said: Mamma can't
come because papa died Saturday, und
she must stay home to-day"
lis your father buried YETI" inquired
the judge.
mo. sir.r replied the little girl.
t.The funeral may take place this aft
ernoon."
'Has your mamma any money in
the housep"
mo- sir, / don't think she has," re-
piled the child; ''but some friends are
trying to raise enough money to bury
papa"
The judge and the lawyers were all
hstonished at the simple statement Of
the little child, aud Immediately a col
lection was taken up, at the sugges-
ton of the Court. for the bereaved
family. Judge Steckler started the
fund, and all the lawyers present con-
tributed, and in few minutes over
fifteen dollars was collected for the
child's mother. The money was placed
in the hands of the little girl, who ran
home to tell her mother Of the un-
looked for gift. 1T" .,: .
The child who was poorly but neatly
clad, had appeared in court in behali
of her mother, who had brought . suit
to recover q sum of money due for
work that she had done. The child
told the Judge her mother would like
to have the case put down tor some
other day. The request was granted.

FOUR DECADES AGO.
Only Sixteen NIillionaires In Boston In tn,
Early Fifties.

Only Sixteen MilltOnafres In Boston In the
Early Fifties.
No longer ago than the year 1851
$4,000 made large estate and $780,
900 made it's owner a rich man. Only
sixteen residents of Boston in that year
were millionaires. The Appleton fam
lily made three of this number-Nathan
Appleton was worth $1,000, 900, Sam
uel Appleton, his brother, the same,
and William Appleton, his cousin,
100000 more. All three began life
poor, Samuel with 81 cents. The dry
goods business and manufactures gave
them fortunes, which they used most
generously, William appropriating his
entire income beyond his family ex-
penses to benevolent purposes.
John Bryant made a million and
a half in the Northwest coast
and China trade. Ebenezer Francis,
who: also began life poor, made
three millions in the East India trade;
John L. Gardner and Thomas Wiggles-
worth made half that sum in the same
way, and Joshua Scarf as much in
West India trade. These were the
days of commercial prosperity in Bos-
ton. Abbot Lawrence, then Minister
to the Court of St. ,farps- had :.thrpe
millions, and his brQther: Amog half as,

Thomas #. Psrkias, 'familiasly knbat;;
as ''Long Tom" Perkins, began his
mercantile life in St. Domingo, and
when driven away by revolt of the
slaves came back to Boston. began
trading with China, and acquired
a very large fortune. David Sears
inherited 100000 from his father,
the largest amount ever inherited
in New England up to that time
by a. single individual. Robert
q. Shaw was called in one of the lead
ing newspapers of that day 1.-The old

SYMBOLISM IN NUMBERS.

Ono of tho Unmistakable Facts In tho
Gust oms of the World.
Symbolism in numbers is an unmis-
taxable fact in the worlds literature
and in the customs of the world. There
are symbolic values to numbers which
are of well-nigh universal acceptance;
and, although there is always danger
of being misled by fanciful symbolizing
in such a realm as this, il is certainly
safe to recognize thes. symbolic values
about which there is hardly a question.
Thus three is the Divine number, not
only in the Bible story, but in the
religions of Egypt and India Apart
from any question of the Trinity
three represents the past, the
present and the future, and so stands
for Him who was, and is and is to
be. Four is the world number. We
use it thus to-day when we speak of
the four quarters of the globe, the four
winds of Heaven, the four elements of
nature. Three and four combined
stand for the union or the connection
of the heavenly and the earthly, there
fore seven is the sacred number. Ten
is the measure OF mere numerical com
pleteuess,: as it is understood by us
when: We :speak of ten-fold advan-
tage. These obvious symbolisms show
'the9hselses egaan: in various combina-
'tiohs' iii the Bible narrative. Without
dogmatism it may be said that twelve
appears to represent the multiplying
Of the world number by the Divine
number; that it symbolizes the pecul-
lar Divine provisions for the worlds
needs. Thus it was that, in the time
of promised blessings, there were
twelve patriarchs, twelve tribes,
twelve apostles, twelve foundations
and gateways of the spiritual
building. Thus it is that thore
are ample provisions to-day in
the plan of God for all the people OF
God. ! Even beyond tho peculiar pro-
visions within the limits of the twelve,
there are the wider provisions of the
seventy-the sacred seven multiplied
by the numerically complete ten. The
Jews hold that beyond the twelve
tribes there were seventy nations in
the great week Of atonement. Seventy
elders were the associates of Moses.
There were seventy members in the
Sanhedrim. Jesus sent out, not only
His twelve apostles, but also seventy
disciples, as preachers of the Gospel.
Here, again, is. the idea Of the fullness
Of Gods provisions for the human race.
Numbers can suggest this fullness, but
numbers can not define II. Sunday

Astonishing Changes. 5s TX.
There Is theory, you know, that we
inherit traits and conditions from our
remote ancestors as we'll as from our
Immediate ones. I sometimes fancy
that they descend to some people with
a time lock attachments. A child is
born; he is like his mother. we will
say; gentle, sweet, kind, truthful, for
years-let us say seven. Suddenly the
time lock turns, and the traits of his
father (moditied, of course, by the
acquired habits of seven years. show
themselves strongly-take possession.
In fact. Another seven years. and the
priggishness of great-uncle, the
,stinginess of an aunt, or the
dullness, in books, of a rural

every change, he has been honorable

force of habit of lifetime-and the

unable to account for it at all. He
knows that he had not lived all these
years as q conscious, self controlled

of his past life had never before taken
that particular form. He knows that
the impulse was sudden, binding,
overwhelming; but he does not know
why and how. It was like an awful
dream. He seemed to be powerless to
overcome it. The time lock had turned
without his knowledge, and in spite of
himself. The unknown, unheard of
thlevlsh ancestor took possession, as
it were, through force of superior
strength and abllity-and then it was
his hour: The hereditary shadow
on the dial had come around to him.
The great-uncle's hour was past. He,
no doubt, was turned on to some other

much of his blood, and she, poor thing,

shame and contrition-a small but

his engagement with our respectable,
highly-honored and heretofore highly
honorable man of affairs in Wall street.
The time lock of heredity had been set
for this hour, and the machinery of cir

\ PRAIRIE STORM.
Tiv'" Picture OF Terrible But Entrance
ingiy.Grand Scene.

Vivid Picture OF q Terrlble But Entrance
ingiy-Grand Scene.
There Is one thing beyond mans
control, and the grandeur of a prairie
storm can only be imagined by those
who have seen it or witnessed storm
at sea- Such a storm swept over the
prairies in August last. The morning
was warm and bright, but shortly after
noon there came an indetinable change.
The sun still shone. but its rays threw
an altered light, and brought the prai-
RE flowers into brighter relief, while
1t cast darker shadow where shadows
fell.
Away toward the horizon the waver-
ing glimmer that curtained the meet
Ing place of sky and plain became
more tangible, and a thin black hue,
framed the landscape. Gradually it
grew broader and higher. and as it
overlapped the bright blue sky the
birds few hurriedly from before it,
and such cattle as were in sight drew
closer together for protection. Gusts
OF wind that shook the train followed
each other at intervals that grew short
er and shorter, and the frame of black
was once in awhile illumined with
flashes of summer lightning, which,
as they came nearer, threw heavy
banks OF sulphurous-lookiug clouds in
to bold relief. Still there,was no rain,
and the thunder of the train was all
that broke the stiffness.
For nearly two hours the clouds
maintained the same slow approach,
and left the spectator to run fancy-free
and imagine the outstretched fingers of
some great ghoul to be slowly closing
in to crush him. So strong did the
feeling become that the more nervous
passengers drew back and shuddered
at each succeeding gust, while others
clustered round windows and gazed,
fascinated, at the coming storm. At
last it came. One huge cloud shot out
from the approaching bank, and for
moment poised in mid-air.
Fleecy clouds, that looked CHASTITY
by contrast, hung round it like fringes
on a funeral pail, till with crash that
,outweighed the roar of the train it
seemed to be rent in two with
one streak of fire that turned
the entire cloud into gold. From
that on and for nearly an
hour it was one continuous rumble,
broken occasionally with sharper
crash, and accompanied by the patter
of the rain that fell in torrents. Both
sheet and forked lightning played con-
tlnuously. and, while the former turned
the clouds from blackness into light
the latter seemed to rend them in frag-
ments and stand out in lines of fire for
seconds at time.
At last it passed away and the flick
ering flames that illumined the south
ern horizon seemed like the volley fir
ing OF a retreating army; but so great
was the expanse of prairie that they
wera mover entirely lost sight of, but
again grew more and more vivid until
eighty miles further west the storm
again crossed the track, moving
northward with diminishing force.
Slowly as it appeared to move, it had
in five short hours traversed the half
of circle not less than one hundred
miles in diameter, which would give it
rate of upward of thirty miles an
hour.-C0r. Omaha Bee.
