Many people, particularly those of small
means, regard banks with distrust, and
prefer to keep their savings under personal
supervision. One Of these folks, Mrs kep-
ner, Of Johnsonvillc, Rock county, Wis,
had to leave the house during the absence
of her husband. and put s195 in the stove
pipe for safe keeping. She did not think
of the money after returning to the house,
and few days later told her little daughter
to start n fire in the stove. 1t was some
time before she thought about the money,
and when she came to look for it found
that it was too late, the s195 having es-

A single tablet let into the face of this

natural simplicity of this massive mono

its natural rugged grandeur is enough. In

NO QUARTER.

A sage once said to me:
5"Of two things warn thee,
And one Is Death.
No skill can stay his arm,
'Gainst him avails no charm,
Prayers are but wasted breath.
when Death Is standing near
All vain Is friendships tear II
Or loves wild woe;
Then turn thee to the wall
Away from friends and all,
Only to wait his blow.
'oThat other thing is Want,
Potent the soul to daunt,
To curse and blight.
On him that hath not gold
The very sun shines cold,
And maketh no day bright,
"Frieuds wall to sec thee die;
From poverty they fly.
Nor heed its call.
Who dies hath lived his day;
Tho poor can truly say:
We have not lived at alll"

Stopped Dying to nebukc the Audience.

Stopped Dying to Kebukc the Audience.
During the death scene in the play Of
Camille" at the Opera house Miss Irene
Taylor, who had the role of Camille treat
cd the audience to a real exhibition of feel
ing not on the programme. The heroine
was dying Of consumption. Death was
just about to lay its skeleton fingers upon
her tired heart Her eyes began to assume
that fixed, CLASSY expression which imme-
diately prccedes dissolution, and she
gasped painfully for breath. The scene
WAS well studied, realistic and pathetic,
and she was about to drop into the arms
Of her agonized lovcr-dead-when several
women in the audience laughed
Immediately the face of the dying wom-
I'm assumed Il stern and angry expression
She stood defiantly erect, and pointing her
finger at the offenders said in whitening
tones: ANY woman who would laugh
during such q scene rs this Is utterly void
of any sense Of delicacy or refinement or
feeling. She is totally lacking in the senti-
ments of common humanity, and could
not appreciate anything higher than the
Topsy or the donkey in Uncle Toms
Cabin.'n
When she had delivered herself Of this
ebulliton of indignation she calmly and
deliberately proceeded to die in the most
approved tylecounterfeiting death with
wonderful accuracy, and there was no
more tittcring, either. = Punxsutawney

A Jesuit S1etcoro1ogist,

Padre Vfces, celebrated Jesuit priest
in Havana, has for the past quarter of
century been making weather predictions
at Havana
1t was the padre who predicted hurri-
cane, and the reports from Havana yeri-
fed the prediction. He is regarded by nav
igators and meteorologists all over the
world Us one of the most correct and reln-
BILE of weather scientists of the age.
For the past quarter of n century Father
Vines has made this work purely labor
of love. He is highly cultured gentle
man, unassulning and a profound scholar.
Fully approaching the valuable services
rendered by the padre some time since, the
United States government offered him
handsome salary in recognition Of his past
services. This offer he promptly declined,
because the rules of the Jes1lits' order pro-
hibited it.
Capt. j. McBaker, of the steamship
hutchinson, of the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN, Is we'll acquainted with the padre,
and in speaking of him said: For the
many years that have been navigating
the Gulf have never touched at Havana
without calling on the padre when the op-
portunity presented itself During the
hurricane season his opinion is always anx-
iously sought after. Before the connec-
tions with the Windward Islands were
perfected the PADRES predictions were al
ways looked for anxiously by navigators.
Today the cables only recently laid give
him large scope and make his forecasts
more reliable and important to COM
merce, New Orleans Times Democrat.
