A Miliionaire's Frugal Lunch.

A large, elderly and fne-looking man
with black-silk cap on his head en-
tered the restaurant on the top floor OF
the Mills building few days ago and.
seating himself in aquiet corner. ordered
a plate of cold chicken, some bread and
butter, and glass of milk. This was
his midday luncheon and he seemed to
enjoy it At another table, few feet
away, sat a young man, dressed with a
scrupulous regard for the latest fashions.
He was enjoying much more elaborate
meal than his elderly neighbor. Little
neck CLANS, spring lamb with green
peas, lobster salad, pint of champagne,
and choice perfecto were necessary to
his personal comfort and he disposed of
them all with a nonchalance which be-
spoke familiarity with that style of hv-
ing. And there certainly was nothing
out Of the way in his manner of indulg-
ing his appetite. He paid for what he
got with money honestly earned. He
holds responsible clerkship in C. P.
Huntington's employ. and Mr.. Hunting
ton is known to pay good salaries to
good men. The elderly man who ate
the cold chicken and drank the glass Of
milk was Coils P. Huntington.-N. Y.

TOlSTOi AND THE BEAR.
How the Celebrated SOvclist's Presence of
Mind saved His Life.

How the Celebrated <OyClist's Presence of
Mind saved His Life.
An incident is related about the cele-
GRATED writer, Count Tolstoi, which
nearly cost him his fe. He went out
on bear hunt with some of his friends,
and, after selecting a spot which com
manded a good view of the surround ing
grounds, some Of the more experienced
hunters suggested that the snow had
better be trampled down so that il
would be easier for them To move about
and get out of bruins way and have
time enough to take a Shot at him if he
should come upon them unexpectedly.
The Count, however, although up TO
his waist in Tire snow, objected to this
and said that it was entirely unneces-
sary, since the whole thing consisted OF
shooting the bear and not wrestling with
him.
They did not have to wait long, for
the bear, which had just risen from its
lair, was walking along to get out of the
way of the hunters when it suddenly
stepped out into the open space directly
in front of Tolstoi.
He coolly took aim and fired, but the
ball, for some reason or other, went
wide of its marx. Taking aim
again he fired, this time hitting the
bear in the head, and the bulle,
lodged in the lower jaw and of course
only made very irritating wound,
which made the bear so savage that,
taking few jumps, he was upon Tolstoi
before he was able to realize it. just
as the bear came close enough to him he
dRpped down, and of course the bear
went right over his body. Tolstoi's
whole body sunk into the deep snow,
and the only part that remained exposed
was his head, which the bear tackled as
soon as he had recovered from his sur
prise in seeing TOlstoi disappear so sud
denly.
TolstOi did his best to push his head
down as low as possible, and elevated
his fur cap for the bear to bite. Twice
the savage animal snapped at it. and
then, d scOyer ng his mistake, made a
bSe deeper down, this time taking Z
piece of flesh frcm the Counts right
cheek
just at this moment his comrades re-
turned, and by their loud yells sue
ceeded in driving away the bear. who
very slowly turned his back upon the
hunters and walked into the woods,
master Of the situation. -London Tele-

A Dog Goes to a san Francisco Hospita!

For Treatment.
The surgeons at the receiving hospi-
tai have TO deal with many pecul ar pa
tients, but until yesterday they had
never been called upon to minister to
the needs of member of the canine
family. An hour or so before noon a
handsome setter dog came limping up
to the hOspic1 door and asked as we'll
as any dog could be expected to ask to
have an injured foot attended to. The
request was made in piteous whines
and the injured foot was held up toward
the astonished doctors in the most sup
plicating manner.
Matron Kari was about to bid the
canine intruder BECOME, when DR.. Wolf
interfered and invited the strange pa
tient to enter. He accepted the invita-
ton with alacrity and, without q mo-
ment's hesitation, mounted the operat-
ing table and stuck out the injured foot
In the same manner as before.
On examination 1t was found that the
poor an NAL had stepped on a piece of
sharp glass, which still remained i'm
bedded in his foot. The surgeon hest
tSted for moment, as though debating
the question of administering an
anesthetic to the patient, and then
suddenly seeming to make up his mind
he grasped the extended jaw firmly but
gently, reached for surgical instru-
ment, and in iiffy had drawn the for
eign substance from the foot. The dog
gave howl of pain as the glass was
drawing forth, but a moment later be-
gan tapping the hands of the surgeon.
thanking him as plain as plain could be
for the services which be had just rem
dered him.
DIR. Wolf then applied an ointment to
the wound, wrapped the foot in band
age and smiSsed the patient, who hob
bled away On three feet with many a
bark of gratitude, and thankful wag of
his shaggy tail-San Francisco Chron-

because We miss NOT, nor mourn not.

The Washington people have start
ed a movement for a home tor work
ing girls. In great cities the working
girl has hard time. As rule with
out a protector, and with no one to
depend upon for support bat herself,
her scanty earnings are too small to
lay up anything for rainy day.
Often when they fall sick, they are in
desperate straits. 1t is, therefore,
not only commendable, but Necessary
to do something for their relief. But
the thing which strikes fair-minded
man is this Why not pay them
living wages, so they will be able to
help themselves.-St. Joseph Gazette.
There is much in the Gazette's sug-
gestion, and it is a fact, that instead of
thus helping the working girls of large
cities, it would be best to put them in
way to help themselves. The idea
of "a home of the kind mentioned has
never yet been warmly received by
working girls, because withal their de-
privations, they have shrinking from
the publicity which the home neces-
sarily subjects them to and they would
rather suffer than become an inmate.
1t is hard to explain why they should
take this view of the matter, so too it
is hand to explain just why girls will
do any kind of labor before they will
enter domestic service, the fact re-
mains that they do and viii and nine
time out often SO far, so called WORK
ing girls homes have proven failures.

wages ON which they could live re-
specially instead of being ground
down to degradation by wages which
will scarcely keep body and soul to-
gether they would grow moie self

into contact with refining influences,
more able to assert their womanhood
and more apt to make the future Of
this republic something else than the
vitiated and weak foundation of a
people who have been satioted by
their own indulgences and demo-al-
lied by the unstable and unrealized
ambitions, that it sometimes promises
to be. In the meantime the good peo-
pie who contribute to homes for work
ing girls are struggling toward the
light and the time is coming when
womanhood in fustian garb will be
recognized as something more than
mere machine for souless employers to
grow rich by, God bless them each

Teach Them to Use Ahelr Minds as Well as
Their Eyes.
1t is reported that a distinguished
New York lawyer in selecting a gov
erness for his children said to her: II
do not care so much what studies you
select for my children, but one thing I
shall insist upon, and that is that you
take special pains to cultivate their per-
ceptive faculties. / want them to be-
come observers, so that they can intelli-
gently describe what they see." This
instruction has been highly commended
by some of the newspapers as containing
sound educational advice, Lat II shown
that the lawyer was not an educator. II
is true that observation is the founda-
ton of all knowledge, but 10 is nothing
more than the foundation. 1t Is not the
superstructure. Observers are not al
ways fine scholars, nor correct thinkers.
Observation furnishes facts, but they
must be used we'll or they are worthless.
1t is just as important that children
should be taught to think as it is that
they should learn to observe. Mere OBJ
servation makes them Paul Prys, but no
sages or philosophers Teach children
to use their eyes and their minds
both, if you would educate them
wisely and we'll There is period in
life when observation is the main thing,
but that period is not the most impor-
tant in the life of an individual We
think the New York lawyer made an
other grave mistake in the education of
his children, and that was in putting
them under the care OF a private tutor
instead of sending them TO school
where they would come in contact with
their equals, who would do more for
them than their teachers. Emerson
says, you send your boy to college to
be instructed by learned professors, but
his schoolmates educate him" 1t il i'm
possible for anybody to be we'll educated
without the stimulus of rivalry and
emulation. 1t is possible to develop
talent in solitude, but not character.
The greatest of the German poets,
Goethe, said, talent grows solitude,
but character is developed in the
stream of life" A boy or girl edu-
Gated under tutors is sure to be one
sided character, and to have no real
knowledge of life or OF the world. Chill
dren of rich parents miss the best part
of training AMI culture.-Cumberlan

In conducting the prosecution OF
the Williamson murder case, Hon.
George F. Longan, prosecuting at.
torney, discharged the unpleasant
duties devolving upon him as a pub
lie official and the peoples guardian
of the peace in fearless, able, con-
scientiOus, efficient and truly COM
mendsble manner. He conducted
the case, in the face of able opposition,
to a successful and a just termination
and one which meets with the appro-
baton of al good citizens. His con-
duct of the case, throughout, was
skilful and able and his closing speech
in the case was strong, concise, lOgi-
cal and effective. 1t made a good i'm
preston upon all who heard it and
was the subject of much favorable
comment. Pettis county has had
some able and distinguished prosecu
ling attorneys. but Mr.. Longan, is
proving himself a worthy successor to
any of his predecessors, and the
equal of any of them in efficiency.

The accommodating stocks of iron

A SCHOOL BOOK BILL.
The House Special Committee
Ready to Report a Con-
sentative Plan.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. THE
house special committee on text books
has at last arrived at an understand
ing on The question and is expected to
report to the house tomorrow or
Monday. 1t will report a substitute
for all the pending bills relating TO
text books and recommend that a
special board, consisting of four mem
bers to he appointed by the governor,
be authorized to contract for the
books needed by the state. the con-
tract to extend over a period of FIVE
years. the prices to be at least 80 per
cent lower than the price paid the
existing book monopoly.
Although the substitute is a very
mild bill in comparison with some OF
those which have been introduce J, it
is thought to contain a partial remedy
for the existing evil, and because CT
this it will find a good many support
ers. The provisions of the substitute
are not on the lines suggested ry the
Farmers Alliance which wanted the
state to print The books, but it is con-
coded to be far more conservative and
at the same time better calculated to
attain the object desired, the lowering
of the present high prices paid for
school books.

The BAzOo does not take pleasure
in the condemnation of a man to an
ignoble death neither does it believe
in that maudlin sentimentality which
would. if possible prevent the carrying
out of justice in the case of criminal
who, upon unprejudiced evidence and
according TO the judgment of a careful
jury, has been condemned to such
death. In the case of tie man VIII.
hanson, there was not one p,lliating
excuse for his crime, save the possible
gain to himself of tine possessions left
by his victims; neither has there Leen
one scintilla of insanity shown in the
evidence which, link by link. led
up to the blood stained crime for
which he has just been tried.
Murders have been committed 10 the
heat of passion, under the influence of
strong drink, through the madness Of
jealousy, by the influence of wrongs
and in each md every one there was a
lack of that deliberate and deadly
malice which germed while William

broke their bread and enjoyed their
hospitality AID which took form while
brought into personal contact with
them and which developed day after
day until the opportunity came which
witnessed THIN dead at the feet

to 60 about bis usual avocations, chat
with friends, attend a religious
meeting and act in a manner which

To condemn an insane man to death
upon the gallows for murder is an
awful thing, it is a still more awful
thing to encourage murder by allow
