Old Peter Rice, for many years u resi-
dent of n certain New England village,
was n of those unwise and unjust men
who never praise their wives, and who
do not seem to realize how blessed they
are in the way of companions until
death comes suddenly to leave them des-
olate and uncared for.
Old Peters kindly, accomplishing and
unappreciated wife died suddenly one
day, and Peter came at once to a realiz-
ing sense Of her many virtues, and was
evidently filled with a longing to prove
to his friends that he was not blind to
his wife's projections.
This desire increased as the hour for
the funeral services drew near, and when
all the friends had assembled at the
house Peter touched the hearts as well as
the palates of those present by suddenly
appearing with a huge yellow bowl piled
high with doughnuts in his hands.
Passing from n to the other of his
friends he said with fearful earnestness

Of 100 they are a coarse, brutal, heavy
drinking class, and show their low

called Jail pallor leaves their faces clear

they make a better impression upon a
jury than they certainly would IL brought
to trial when first arrested. A striking
case in point was Sanders, the dog
catcher, who killed Police Officer Printz.
When he was first put in Jail he was
about the toughest, bloated and alto
gether brutalized specimen Of humanity

was brought to trial. 1t was almost inn
possible to recognize in the pale, finely
drawn features OF the quiet, self pos
sessed and intelligent talking prisoner

appearance made such a good impression
that he got oil with a two years sem

CLEANLINESS. . Modern Virtue.

The English upper classes are clean,
but cleanliness Of any high degree is a
very modern virtue among them. 1t is
an invention of the Nineteenth century.
Men and women born at the close of the
Eighteenth century did as the French
people do today; they took a warm bath
occasionally for cleanliness, and they
Took shower baths when they were pre-
scribed by the physician for health, and
they bathed in summer seas for pleasure,
but they did not wash themselves all
over every morning. However, the new
custom took deep root in England, be-
cause it became n of the signs of class.
1t was adopted as n of the habits Of a
gentleman.-Pall Mall Budget.

In neat little brick cottage, at No.

happiest and Suggest little family OF
Germans that could be found in many a
miles hunt. 1t is the home of Charles
Meinhardt, his wife and little three
yoar-old daughter. Only a few months
ago. Mr.. Meinhardt was in tolerably
fair circumstances, now he is what may
be called the JAY Gould of West st.
Louis. In short, ut the last drawing of
the Louisiana State Lottery he held a
tenth part of the number 81 ,S35, which
drew the capital prize Of $500, 900. A
Star-Sayings reporter called at the resi-
dence of Mr. Meinhardt this morning.
Mr.. Meinhardt was out on some specu-
lation, but his wife met the reporter
and said: "We are now II very happy
family. We won $50, 900 and go: every
cent of it Il few days ago. II was very
lucky thing, and we have only been
playing the lottery for about four
months. l have been buying all the
tickets, but get them under my hus-
bands name. [ bought this lucky one
and took So out of his pocket to buy it,
and I'm glad did it now. My husband
will continue to carry papers, but he
willinvest IN real estate to q consider
able extent. I would like to see some
body else do as we'll rs we. We intend
to play little every now and then"
Two other gentlemen of this city held
one-twentieth tickets and each drew
$l5, 900, ore through the Lafayette and
the other through the Fourth National
Bank. Besides the above luck of ST.
Louisans, there are any number of peo-
pie holding numbers for smaller prizes.
The heaviest winners at this drawing
were all in pretty fair circumstances,
