HEROES.

We hear It said that great men tread no more
The sod of this dull earth, and that the past
Entombs the heroic dead, whose deeds will
last
When our poor country Is dust. Such store
We set upon the ancients-they who bore
The honors of the fight, Still we hold fast
Traditions old, nor think our warriors cast
In the heroic mold of those of yore.
Yet this degenerate age" has its great men;
As great as those illustrious Greeks Of old;
But we unjust, withhold our praises when
l We see about US valorous deeds and bold
And so we wrong a brave age when we say
That heroes do not tread the earth today"

In our time any n who seeks to
improve conversation will soon find
himself in the dilemma of modern
painters and ~novelists. Burning to fill
their works with a moral purpose, and
desiring to deal frankly with the prob
lens of our time, they find themselves
confronted with the British matron"
and the American ''young person."
Now, these are the most devout wor.
shippers at Mrs. Grundy's shrine. On
the education of women they impose
their superstitions. Hence men are apt
to think that the presence of the aver
age woman imposes q restraint, not
really moral, but mental, and which
tends to make conversation thin or un-
real.
Mrs. Wynne Finch asked of Nine.
Mohl French in everything but birth)
permission to bring a friend. MY
DEAR" said Mime. Mohl, ''if your friend
is a man bring him without thinking
twice about it; but if she is a woman
think well before you bring her, for OF
all the creatures God ever created none
does spoil society like al English lady"

The Fetish Man Mt Ho,ue.


Established in reputation, the efforts
of the fetish maj are next directed
toward the requirement of a delneanor
calculated to impress his clients with a
n of awe; he aims at assuming an
appearance at ace grave and mysteri-
Gus; he seldom speaks unless profes.
sionally, and then always in a gruff,
husky tone. He cultivates a media.
tive look, and seems as if he were the
victim of great mental anxiety. At
home he keeps himself very select, and
occupies his time principally among his
charms There is generally some sign
Of his calling just outside his hut, tax
ing the form, as q rule, of an earthen
vessel, out of the mock of which sprout
long feathers-the pot being colorcd
with red, white and yellow chalk, and
the orangelike tint derived from chewed
betel nut, the expectoration of which
substance is supposed to have a very
pacifying influence upon the spiritual
evildoer.
Sometimes the fetish mans gesticula-
tions will he directed to q carved image
or some exaggerated form of charm.
Suspended from the rafters in the in
terror of his hut are little parcels OF
mystic character, smoked grimy by the

their dwellings. And outside, over the

JACK THE RIPPER.

London, Aug. Much excite
ment has been occasioned in the
White Chapel district this morning
when the rumor rapidly passed from
mouth to mouth that the dreaded
"Jack the Ripper had again appeared
and had committed one. of the butch
cries that has made his name a house,
hold word in this most i'll favored
portion of London. That there was
reaso for excitement there can
be no denial. Early this morning as an
old woman named Wolf was passing
through a dark alley she was set upon
by an unknown maj armed with a
sharp knife and horribly butchered.
The police are as usual hunting for
some clue that will lead to the inden-
LITIGATION of the murderer but as in
all other White Chapel crimes the as
sassin disappeared, leaving no trace
save his mutilated victim.

And the walk that lay before me,

And locked would be the door.
And I'd have to sit in the doorway,
AS I oft had done before.
I'd have to sit in the doorway.

"Did the lodge hold late my dear?
So to night I stood there dreaming,
And watching the restless tide,
Till a cop came with a wagon,
And invited Inc to ride. -Ex

A Unioue Method Of "cribhfnr."

Aexu ASSAosA vi
The following incident occurred in
Scotland: a preliminary examination
in connection with a bursary was held
in one of the towns of Lanarkshire, the
place of examination being the parish
school.
When the morning of the exalnina-
ton arrived of tho competitors was
noticed to be wearing a pair of spec
tacles. AS this was q new departure
on his part, ON remarks were of
course made, but he explained it by
saying that his eyes were naturally
weak, and he had put spectacles on
just for that day, to counteract the
effect of too continuous writing. This
appearing satisfactory, no further notice
was taken of it.
However, during tho progress of the
examination, he was noticed frequently
to look intently on the desk, as if
searching for something. This &C.
Cured so often that at the conclusion
the examiner asked him what he had
been doing. He, however, replied that
he had done it to relieve his eyes.
Being, however, still dubious, the ex-
aminer then asked permission to look
at the spectacles. on which he discov-
cred that they wer strong magnifers.
His suspicious being aroused, he put
them on and examined tho desk, on
which he discovered various figures and
notes traced with some f1no instr,yuop%
in the woodwork. Seeing that ex-
posture was inevitable the competitor
made a full confession, on which it ap-
peared that he had entered the O
the night before through the window,
and by the light Of a candle traced with
a needle notes on the more difficult
subjects on which he expected to be ex-
amined. The use of the spectacles was
necessary in deciphering them, owing
to the minute characters in which they
were written. london Tit Bits.

III GnTNING.s FEARFUL WORK.
Scorns Nine Chinese and Selects q White
Smuggler.

Nine celestials will soon leave the
Golden Gate for the land of rice and
chopsticks. Their stay in the United
States has been brief and far from
joyful. For some time since the
authorities have known that a depu-
tation of Chinese would shortly be
imported across the Canadian line.
Collector Dowd, stationed at Sweet
Grass, was notified to take great care
and a gentleman named Hamlin Rus
sell, was sent by the government to
assist in the search.
The party, nine in number, as ex-
pected, crossed the line some DAYS
since, leaving traces at several points.
Under direction of Hon. Jerry Sulli-
van, United States collector, deputies
Russell Dowd and Cummings all
watched for the almod eyed, carefully
examining all trains. No further
traces could be discovered.
The hand of nature, however,
proved mightier than the search of
man. The Chinese under the guild
ance of a white man, had reached a
point on the hill about four miles
west of Fort Benton when Wednes-
day nights terrific thunder storm
began. They had evidently taken to
the bottom of the wagon, leaving
their conductor to drive the team.
MIR. Samuel Heron, stock Inspector,
happened to be in the vacinity.
There came a vivid flash of lightning
which lit up the entire surroundings
and which Mr.. Harrison saw strike
the wagon. On riding up to it he
discovered the driver and one horst.
dead and nine live but badly scared
Cinnamon. Collector Sullivan was at
once notified and the whole party
were duly captured and imprisoned
with all necessary ceremony.
Coroner CIV. Crane was notified
and started after the corpse, but the
elements were to many for the sturdy
justice and he returned leaving the
dead body aprey to the wind and
rain throughout the livclong night.
The Cinnamon are domiciled in
the Benton bastilc and soon will re.
turn to their beloved fathcrland,
Uncle Sam checrfully furnishing re.
