RIDER HAGGARD has created as the
central figure OF his new story, Zulu

JULES VERNE is said to be at work on

The Pronriety of Doubt.

There is common mistake that peO-
pie fall into in supposing that 10 have
any doubt, even in ones own mind, on
what some one may say is equivalent to
accusing him of untruth or insincerity.
Nothing could be more fallacious.
Thousands Of honest mistakes are made
advertisements overs taternents aid
mis-statements-by sincere aud truth
loving persons. To make due allowance
for this probability and for the influence
of prejudice, or a one-sidedness which is
as unconscious as il is habitual, is very
different from casting any slur on the
speakers candor. The wise man knows
that he, too, is in similar danger, and
will examine and test his own motives
and thoughts with even more scrutiny
than he applies to those of others.-N.

To be taken care of by a blue-coated
officer meant but one thing to Tom
the station in that precinct-and the
lad had a wholesome terror of the law
The words brought picture of himself
and Dave dragged through the streets
as he had more than once seen violators
of the Law treated. There was only one
thing to be done, they must GO and go
at once before the family awoke.
Tom was eight years Cd, Dave not
much over five. Tom had bright face.
keen beyond its years. and self-reliant
air. Dave was a remarkably pretty
child, even with his tumbled hair and
generally uncared-for appearance. And
these boys were literally homeless and
friendless. 1t Was the old story-so old
that people become almost Indifferent to
tia drunken father, murdered moth
er. Yes, murdered-not by a mercifully
quick pistol-shot or knife-thrust, but by
years of want and ill-treatmen& For
the two years since her death the chill
dren had been absolutely without care
except that given by father who was
rarely free from the influence OF liquor
and by the women who lived in the old
tenement mousse anu VINO udu AdAAAAACS
of their own to look out for.
When the father walked off the dock
and ended his worthless life the boys
we're scarcely worse of. The neighbors
gave them som ething to eat as they had
done before when the father was not
there. Tom, small as he was, mani
tested a sort of paternal care for Dave
that sometimes touched even the hearts
of the jewellers of Ford's court. If he
earned penny by an errand the larger
part of the red apple or the striped
candy stick went to blue-eyed Dave.
As for Dave he had no one but Tom, and
his confidence in his brothers age and
wisdom was unbounded.
So when he was awakened it was with
unquestioniug obedience that he dressed
and lefp the house with Tom No one
was astir, for it was Sunday morning
and the occupants of the tenement house
slept late.
1t was bright Sunday, late in April,
Easter Sunday, though the homeless
bows did not know that. Although the
sun shone there was a chill in the air,
and Dave soon complained of being cold.
A horse-car station offered temporary
shelter and the children were unmo-
Tested for long time. There was
lunch counter in the room, and from the
rear came the appetizing smell of coffee.
Dawes lip quivered, he was so hungry,
but Tom comforted him by bidding him
wait little while. Tom was hungry,
too, but there was a sturdy independ-
ence about the little lad that forbade
begging. At last the car-starter told the
boys to go-not unkindly-for they
were so small and so quiet he could find
no fault with them.
Out into the streets again went the
homeless boys-streets that were flied
with people now on the way TO church,
many with the desire to display their
Easter fnery; some with a sincere love

of the tomb and whose followers were

and organ; just over the altar a large
cross Of lilies standing out with a vivid
whiteness against the dark carvings of
the reredos, and above altar and cross
the window that was the pride of the
Grace Church people, a window that
represented the risen and ascending
Christ. The figure, exquisite and life
like, with outstretched hands and flow
ing draperies, seemed TO stand out
from the deep azure of the background.
Tom and Dave went quite close to the
chancel rail TO look at the beautiful
window.
That is Jesus" said Tom. ST know
it is, cause it's just like the picture the
teacher showed me. If you want any
thing you ask Jesus for it and He will
give it to you. Teacher said so"
Dave opened his blue eyes wide.
Lets ask Him for things" he cried.

and we don's know how. The teacher
used to get down on her knees and talk
to Him. but forget what she said"
''What did she ask Jesus for?"
''oh. 70 be good, and to make US boys
good"
''Well, know what I'm going to ask
Jesus for. I want Him to send mother
back. You said we had warm break
fasts and lots of nice things before she
went away"
"But mothers dead" said Tom; "she
can't come back"
'You said Jesus could do any thing"
persisted Dave
"Yes, teacher said So" hesltatingly.
Tom seemed TO be something of skep-
TIC when it came to taking his teachers
words so literally.
"Well, I'm going 10 pray" and Dave
sank on his knees at the chancel rail
and drew Tom down by his side. The
perfume of lilies and roses was all about
| them-a ray of golden light fell upon
them-two ragged boys amid all the
beauty and grandeur of the temple.
How did teacher begin?" asked
Dave.
Dear jesus said Tom, land then
she asked Him what she wanted"
Dave looked straight up to the loving
face of the Christine did not know he
ought to bow his head-and after little
pause he said quite slowly and distinct
ly as though trying to make some one
hear who was not very near:
Dear Jesus, please make Tom and
me good boys and send mother back to
US right of, cause we want her SO
much"
Now say amen" prompted Tom;
"teacher always did"
Amen" echoed Dave, and the

house of God was ended. But did prayer
ever ascend to the great white throne
more quickly?
Now let's wait here till she comes"
said Dave.
It'll who comes?" asked Tom.
"Why, mother. / said right Off,
Didn't you hear me?'
Tom was nonplussed. He knew what
death meant better than Dave, but was
at loss to make it clear TO his brother

should live The chimes rang out an
Easter greeting; in church and chapel
flowers sent up their incense to Christ
who died but rose again. And while
Easter anthems we're being sung and
Easter sermons preached the tired,
hungry lads walked from street TO
street, looking into store windows where
the curtains were lifted, Tom doing his
best to interest and amuse weary little
Dave.
Just as they reached a great stone
church the worshipers were coming

across the street, watched the long line
of richly-dTessed people.
At last every one was gone, the little
groups that fingered in the vestibule
breaking up, one by one, but still the
heavy doors stood wide open. The IN

Tom hesitated, but the doors still
stood open, 70 one was to be seen, and
he ventured % cross the street and as

As the boys entered the vestibule
Dave cried out in wonder and delight,
for through the inner door could be
seen a great window, rich with glowing
tints. The sexton was in the chapel,
and there was no one TO forbid the chill
dren entrance
Once inside the church there was so
much to see that Tom and Dave quite

They had never seen a church interior
before. Tom had attended Sabbath
school at a mission chapel, and had

BACHELORS IN WASHINGTON
Unmarried Young Men Can Have a Good
Time at the Capital.

Time at the Capital.
'If | were young bachelOr-more
particularly poor young bachelor
would certainly live nowhere else than
in Washington" said society matron
the other evening. SIN this town a
young man. unencumbered matrimonial
ly, occupies singularly desirable posi-
ton. OF course. bachelors are in de-
mand, socially speaking, everywhere.
but nowhere so much so as at the Ma
tional capital. Thus it happens that
any passably agreeable youth is sure to
have life made very pleasant for him.
1t is not accustomed to be said here of a
poor young man that he is detri-
notwithstanding that he is merely
fellow without the money necessary to
render him an available parti, and at the
same time sufficiently attractive to keep
off practicable suitors. Indeed, as you
are very well aware, there are
scarcely any young men who go
out in Washington society that
are not poverty-stricken. There
fore discrimination on that score is out
of the question. One must have young
men at ones parties, you know, or else
the girls would not have any sort of a
time. The situation is an unfortunate
one from some points of view, but what
are you going to do about it?''
Nothing that | can see," said the
writer to whom the lady was speaking.
"But / don't exactly see why the young
men should be poorer in Washington
than anywhere else"
Don't you? Why, it's very simple. In
the first place, this is not a town in
which young men can make a living,
unless in the hopeless situation of de-
partment clerks, where they literally
dare not seek advancement beyond a
certain point lest their places should be
sufficiently desirable to make it worth
while for the first new Administration
to grab them. Most of the men one
meets here, more especially the unmsr-
ried ones, are in Uncle Sans employ.
Then, again, the rich people who come
here, while they always bring th1ir
daughters with them, very seldom fetch
their sons-partly because Washington
is generally imagined to be dissipaIed
city. So, to sum up, few young
men come here, and those native to
seek their fortunes, usually remfin
poor-.too poor, indeed, to venture upon
ma;rimony. Thus you observe the
spectacle of a society in which the
young women greatly outnumber the
young men, and the latter are, gene rail-
ly speaking, not available for marriage.
The anomaly of the situation is rather
aggravated than otherwise by the fact
that so many OF the girls are .ich,
either actually or in prospect, and,
though things might be fixed delight
fully by the rich girls marrying the
poor men, things do not go that way.
have heard it said that $50, 900, 900 worth
of prettiness in petticoats was some
times seen at once in single Washing
ton ballroom, and | shouldn't wonder if
it were true. But the men, poor as they
are, are so few as to be PRICED as rari-
ties, and the result is that they are the
worst-spoiled lot of young fellows have
ever seen. They are apt 20 have an ex-
cessive notion of their Importance. -

Women and Children Suffering from .
Lack of Food and Clothing.
Recent visitors to the Flamoeau Indian
reservation near Ashland report great
suffering, particularly among squaw 5
and children, on account of the scarcity
OF food and blankets. They might have
had warm clothing and plenty of whole
some food from the Ashland agency, but
wouldn't take it because one con-
dltion OF the taking was that the
Government should be reimbursed.
There are dozens of crude shan
ties or wigwams in which few pounds
OF corn meal is the only thing in
sight to tide over the remainder of
the cold weather. Rev. Frank NJ.
Haight and party from Ashland recently
went among the Indians with view 10
seeing what could be done to better the
condition of the women and children.
The Indians mistook them for land
sharks or real-estate spectators and
elected them from the reservation.
Their reservation is wholly unfit for
cultivation, and as the Indians are sew
eral thousand in number the question of
what Is to be done with them is a seri-
Gus one. Some of the children attend
school, but as they will brook no dis
cipline, and as the old men oppose
schools, little good is done in that direc-
ton.
