her waist, rolled up her sleeves. and
followed her daughter-in-law down into
the unknown regions Of the kitchen.

Mr.. Pilot came home to dinner,
promptly as usual. Mrs. Pilot met him

LIVED HIGH FOR NOTHING.
Ituse Of u Paris student Who Was Deprive
of Money From Home,

Ruse Of u Paris student who Was Deprived
OF Money From Home.
A young student who had come up to
Paris from the provinces for the purpose
of devoting his attention to the law made
so little progress therein that some months
ago his father-a prosperous farmer-de.
termined on cutting of the supplies. One
fine day the usual allowance was sup
pressed.
The son set to work 10 live as best he
could without assistance from home. He
drew up a list of some of the cafes which
were for sale and, calling on the land
lords, expressed q desire to come to terms
with them.
The first proprietor whom he saw ac-
cepted the offer which he made him read
lily, but when he was on the point of sign
ing the agreement he asked IL he might
be allowed TO spend a week in the house
business was really ''up to the mark
The landlord consented, and for a week
the student had the run OF the cafe, where
he took his meals N any extra refresh
ment which he happened to fancy. At
the end OF the week, however, he departed
without giving his dupe any warning Of
his intention, and betook himself to an
other establishment, where he lived on
the same easy conditions.
As he always changed his name, and
adopted the further precantion of keep
ing out of the streets during the day. his
victims were unable to discover him, and
for n couple Of months he went from one
cafe TO another, making fresh victims at
each.
Al last the student made the acquaint-
ance of a man who was prepared TO get
rid of his house on almost any terms. The
young man was installed speedily i'm this
establishment, and, while his host was
away arranging the nev house to which
he was about TO remove, the law student
beguiIed his leisure by flirting with the
pretty wife OF the future wine merchant.
Before III week was over he persuaded
the lady TO elope with him, and the couple
left the cafe one evening. taking with
them all the money on which the fair but
erring spouse could lay her hands. The
pair. after spending a few days in a re-
tired street. left for Belgium. and when
the agents of the law mad discovered Their
retreat in Paris they had already made
their way across the frontier.

Rulldozing the Senator's.

In accordance with the suggestion con-
tanned in the Reed-Belden circular, the
republican newspapers are not only urging
the republican senator's to take up the in
famous election bill Immediately aud pass
it. but they are using threats TO induce
them to do so. The leading one Of them,
the New York Tribune, says that repub-
lican voters will not see the bill Tut aside
without ''indignation,n that 100000 re-
publican voters have pledged themselves
''to secure an honest vote aud a fair count
in federal elections" and that IF any
senator does not respect the formal pledges
Of those whom be represents his course will
surely not be forgotten when he wants to
be trusted again
There is no doubt that an extraordinary
pressure is icing brought to bear upon the
republican senators 10 pass the bill. and
there is also no doubt that some Of them
enough Of them to defeat the bill -are Of
the opinion that it IS dangerous and an
outrageous measure-a measure that ought
not to be passed. Several Of them are on
record against such legislation. Senator
Evarts openly opposed the force bill which
years ago, and Senators Hale, hawley,
Hoar and Dawes, who at the timo were
members of the House, voted against 1t.
Some of these are known to favor the
present bill, not because they believe it is a
good bill, or that there is a condition OF
affairs that demands it. but because they
think it will enable their party to retain
control of the government
1t is clear now that the republican man
ayers have been aiming at one thing for
many months, viz. the passage of the cleo
ton bill. To insure the passage of it
Speaker Reed ignored all presidents in
counting a quorum" Democrats were
unseated in the House to make room for re-
publicans, and senatorial claimants from
Montana bearing false credentials were
these having been committed to secure
the means to keep the Republican party in
power, will the managers of that party let
few hesitating senator's defeat their purpose:
They certainly will not if they can bulldoze
them into doing what they want done.
1t looks now as if the republican caucus,
which meets again next week, will decide
to take up the election bill, and also to
change the rules so as to cut off debate and
prevent dilatory motions. If it decides to
change the rules the democrats will be
powerless to prevent the passage of the bill.
II the rules remain as they are the bill NAV

A Composite Novelette.

John l., Sullivan and Ella Wheeler Wilcox are
to collaborate on a novel. According to the
Washington Post the following is the produc-
ton of their combined literary genius:
CHAPTER I.
The dainty ormou clock on the mentel had
just chimed in svery tones when Algernon
Percy de VIleford came to time looking fresh
Ethel Vane had told him it was to be their last
meeting. Ethels father acted as timekeeper.
She did not make a move. 1t was evidently
her tactics to wait for Algernon to force the
fighting while she played for his wind. Alger-
non was foxy from the first.
''Algernon," she said, after considerable
feinting, II love you. My soul throbs with the
subtle magnetism of your presence. Oh, love-
love, is it not horrible thing? See how it
transforms angels into monsters and monsters
INTO angels. When am with you there is no
time, no eternity; nothing but you. The sun
shines that 1t may beam upon your face. Th3
stars glitter only that their light may kiss the
path that you are treading. Do not turn your
head away. Do you not hear meI Can you not
feel the blood that PUSHES through my hands
madly tingling to the refrain L love you, love
YOU
Algernon came up groggy.
He spoke in monosyllabes, undertaking a
series of short-arm blows She made gallant
lead, but he countered.
"Ah-I-am-so-poorc" he said. ''Were l
rich-but think of your family"
What is wealth position to me?" she
cried
He reached for her with both hands for a
mad embrace. He was playing for her neck
but she caught him with a sumner over the
heart.
His breath came heavily; he was evidently
pretty well winded.
will you consent to brave the future and be
mine, in spite of my poverty and humble DO
sition?''
80, Algernonm she murmured
She had knocked him clean over the ropes.

It was None of His Business.

For cool self-poSsession or a remarkable dis
play of indifference in trying and exciting times
the descendant of Ham when he wants to be is
hard to discount. This fact was forcibly illus
trated in an incident connected with the recent
trial of the Chambers case at Irouton saws the
st. Louis republic. 1t will be remembered that
one of the principal witnesses for the defense
was Frank Jenkins negro and eyewitness of
the tragedy. Frank was whitewashing a
chcken-coop only a few feet away when the
shooting occurred. On the direct examination
he told his story in plain, straightforward
way and bis evidence was very material The
cross examiner propounded the usual questions
and made strenuous attempt to tangle the
witness in giving his testimony. Concerning
the facts Immediately preceding and at the
time of the shooting, question would be asked
Frank, to which he would give prompt reply
and then the attorney would ask:
What did you do then ?"

be hurt, what did you do then -

1t was none of my business, and where came
from in Woodward county, Kentucky, | long
ago learned not to interfere with two white
gentlemen engaged in settling a question of

The judge smiled the spectators Uttered, and
the whole court room appreciated this wonder
full display of disposition to attend strictly to
ones own affairs. Throughout the whole time
Frank was in tie witness box he retained this
same calm, collected demeanor, and any at
tempt to move him was more than futile. Not
withstanding all this seeming indifference,
though, there wasn't a happier being in the
court room than Frank when the verdict of the
jury was announced and the last account The
Man had of him he was still painting"
