A Land wl,hou, Debt.

Happy Heligoland! The population Of
this tiny but favored isle-now number
ing 1880 souls--is reported TO be increas-
ing; so Is the revenue. which amounts to
1905. More satisfactory still, this -four
ishing possession had at the close of 1880
absolutely no liabilities beyond sum Of
GiO, and even that was only outstanding
because the account was somehow pre-
sented too late for payment within the
year. Altogether, Heligoland sets an
excellent example to it's neighbors, and
this is the more noticeable because there
was time when II Jared far otherwise.
In noting with just pride that his sub
jects are content and orderly" Gov
ernor Barkly expresses hope that tho
evil days Of debt and political discon-
tent, OF which the reports of some OF his
predecessors drew so dismal q picture,
are ended forever. Like a prudent ruler,
however, he reminds the Heligolanders
that the prosperity Of their tight little
island, depending as II does on summer
visitors. Is necessarily precarious, and
expresses his determination TO keep a
sufficient sum in reserve to meet the Sc
rious contingency Of "a bad bathing sea-

her to believe her husband had been

Rent. In PHILADELPHIA.

I had occasion the other day to make
inquiries concerning renting rooms for
business purposes and was astonished 10
find that no matter how high one went
in some Of the new and magnificent
structures lately erected by various COM
panies. the rents were higher still. ]
could find nothing under $3.50 or e400 q
year. and that for only one room. In
fact in several buildings | was told that
they had nothing under 500 and felt no
anxiety about securing n tenant.
should think there are many people who
would be willing to pay q moderate rent
for small offices, and building erected
ON this plan would pay, but in these
days when SO much is demanded by ten
ants. such as stationary wash stands.
electric lights, messenger calls, etc, the
rents have to be placed high. Philadel-

A New Hampshire boy, several years
before the war, found himself in Little
Rock, Ark, then one Of the Indian
agencies. lie began as clerk and then
became merchant on his own account.
Long before the war actually commenced
he comprehended the political situation.
and In 1850, when he felt sure his state.
with other sovalern states, would secede,
he proceeded to dispose Of his large stock
and invested the same in cotton. He
further took the precaution to secure
afidavits 10 prove his northern birth and
his northern sympathies. When the
south was actually invaded his Con-
federate friends in Little Rock laughed
at him, telling him that the Yanks
would confiscate his cotton. He said
nothing.
When tho Union invading force
reached Little Rock his cotton, amount
ing to several thousand bales, was seized
and sent north ON government account.
After a little he succeeded in getting
through the Confederate lines, and ar-
rived in New York about the time his
cotton arrived. He at once presented
his papers to the government. They re
leased his cotton. He sold il ON the rise
OF the market, say ut $i.so per pound
Its cost averaged him about six cents
The transportation TO New York cos
him nothing. Today he occupies one o.
the most elegant mansions in Concord

The cover OF the box 10 finished to

TIE LION LOOSE.


An Ohio Farmer Who Was Not Afraid Of
the King of Beasts.
One night when old Dan Rice was ex-
hibiting his circus in an Ohio town, IL
came on TO rain about the time the per-
formance was over, and hundreds OF
people stuck to the tent for shelter.
Dan didn't want TO be mean. but the
canvas must come down. and so he sent
three Of the men through the crowd to
whisper:
Don't get excited and make rush,
but must inform you that the Numidian
lion has escaped from his cage. Please
go out quietly"
The people went fast enough-all but
few nnbelievers. There was q farmer
and his wife and five children, and he
got them in a circle in the ring and
placed four or Ave pickels, three or four
hard-boiled eggs and q paper of salt In
his straw hat in the center. One of the
men came up and inquired:
"What are you doing here. old man?"
"Waitin'," was the reply.
