If this poor Indian had found such
comfort in his faith in his god and his
heaven, does it not become us who are
Christians to remember that life at the
worst is but a journey homeward

there is noble work for us to do, and in

HER PAPA WIS Mixing OTHER
ARRANGEMENT rs.
You have never thought me pre-
sumptuous in seeking your - your
friendship, have you, Miss McGinnis? ?"
The proud beauty shook her head,
and the costly diamonds in her ears
sparkled and flashed in the mellow light
like an Arctic aurora borealis with the
radiant dog star for q center whirling
and glittering iu a jeweled kaleidoscope.
The sight dazzled the eyes and dazed
the brain of Marcellus Hankinson, and
confused images of paradise luminous
with rainbows, shimmering sunsets,
the glory of melting black eyes, and
pervaded by an Intoxicating perfume of
musk, patchouly and cinnamon essence
danced before his vision.
"No, Mr.. Hankinson," she replied
"Ah-er-thanks!"
The young man ventured to take her
hand.
"Asphyxia McGinnis," he said in q
rich baritone tremolo, in all the eleven
months and sixteen days during which
I have employed your acquaintance I
have never conducted myself otherwise
than with the utmost respect, have II"
"You have not, Mr.. Hankinson."
II have never seemed to-aw-feel
my oats, as it were?" he went on anx-
iously; "never staid later than IL o'clock
on ordinary nights, nor later than 9
o'clock when we were reading Browning
or Schlegel?"
II think not, Mr.. Hankinson."
Eve have seemed to coincide in our
views of philosophy, the tariff, the
Schleswig- Holstein question, and the
comparative value Of the various foods
as regards nutrition" persisted the
young man, while in the matter of
dialect stories we have-we have al
ways jibed exactly"
He edged himself q little further for
ward in his chair and proceeded:
I'm view of all this, Asphyxia, and
moved by restless passion that-that
yanks me right along on its tempestu-
GUS bosom, I am emboldened to"
"Please say no more, Mr.. Hankinson, y
said Miss MoGinnis haughtily. II did
not ct first apprehend the bearing of
your remarks"
"Is it possible you did not know what
I was going to say? Do you pretend,
Asphyxia McGinnis," he demanded
holly, chat you were not encouraging
me-that you didn't egg me on?"
II certainly did not, sir. Such an
idea never entered my head, I may as
we'll tell you, Mr.. Hankinson. that my
heart is not free. may as we'll tell you"
the proud heiress of millions breathed
tremulous sigh, the naughty look
faded from her eyes, and her voice sank
to low, dreamy murmur, like the echo
of a distant waterfall papa is going to
Europe next week to buy me Prince!"

WE shall have to cease talking of
American fire-proof buildings. Recent
fires have demonstrated that there is
no such thing. During the last few
years great progress has been made by
architects and builders in reducing the
combustibility of buildings, but the
best of them will burn, and it is mis-
homer to call any fire-proof. Some of
the so-called tire-proof buildings may
resist an ordinary fire, but none of them
can Withstand a great one. The best
that architects and builders can do is
to reduce the chances of burning to q
minimum and provide simple means of
escape in case of fire.

day is to be divided between the represen-

time in behalf Of the opponents of the bill.

two hours, but Mills did not think this n

fair should be held' second as 20 what
point. 1he chair thought the debate
should be so arranged as TO give full infor-
nation to the house upon the point il de-

to explain 10 the house the provisions Of the
two bills. One WIS intended for use in cuse
