partially bald has high cheek-bones,
deep-set eyes, bright blue in color

tween the ears, and looks as if he
had never known a fear: veritable
bulldog in strength and tenacity-a
bold antagonist, but, withal, an ex-
treme partisan, and always on the
alert to take advantage of an enc
my's weakness. His partisanship
is his greatest failing, but he is hon

his countenance bespeaks gentleness

is plain that he is out of place.

Mr. Cary is Methodist minister,

Poor Working Women.

In the Boston daily papers have late
ly appeared vivid statements by Rev.
Louis A. Banks of the condition ofpoor
women who sew for a miserable living
in this city. 1t is match for anything
of the kind in darkest England or dark
est Africa. Every one feels that relief
should be found somewhere.
On the same day that Mr. Banks
first sermon on the subject was pub
lished l had two letters. One was from
central Massachusetts,, from a farmers
wife who was suffering for lack of help
With family of small children, thirty
or forty COWS and endless homework
she could find no help.
Another letter came the same day
from eastern Massachusetts, with the
same piteous complaint of mo woman
to help" There were good homes in
both these places-large rooms, good
food, good air, good wages and physi-
cal comfort. This state of things exists
to a large degree everywhere in country
towns.
Now, what is needed is a bureau of
information to bring the poorly paid
labor in crowded cities into communi-
cation with the need of labor in the
country. There would be small occa-
sion for the pitiful exhibit so faithfully
made by Mr.. Banks if those who want
work under good conditions could go
where that kind Of work is wanted.

The Pennyweighter's Scheme.

Perhaps the cleverest of all shoplift-
ers' tricks is that of the penny
weighter." 1t is known to but few,
and practiced by a still smaller number,
for it is a difficult one. 1t has been
most successfully worked by a pretty
little blond, with a baby face, blue
eyes, curly hair and the general APP
pearance of a bewitching soubrette.
Her professional name is ''Little Scot
Mass, and was sentenced to three
years in prison.
Her mode of working was to go to a
jewelry store and ask to be shown loose
diamonds on tray. She pretends to
be very shortsighted, and bends over
and very close to the tray, examining
the diamonds through an eyeglass. She
exposes her left hand so as not to be
suspected, and at a propitious moment
drops one carat diamond into the
tray, and with her tongue, on the point
of which she has pulverized alum, she
icks up two carat diamond.
She then says she cannot find the ex-
act mate of the stone she wants to
match, which she has not with her. and
goes into another store, were she ex-
changes her two carat diamond in a
similar manner for a three carat stone,
and so on. When she was caught she
had started with a one carat diamond
and had reached six and a half carats,
making several hundred dollars in a few
hours. The size of the stone enabled
the jeweler to discover its theft and
sealed Scotty's DOOM jewelers.

Will Be Married in the EaII.

The people who were at the steam
boat wharf in BuckspOrt Saturday noon
when the steamer Lewiston left for Bos-
ton were treated to an interesting cpl
sode which was as rare as it was anus
ing to all concerned
Two lovers became so engrOssed in
each other in the waiting room that the
planks had been removed and the bow
line thrown off before they realized the
situation, but nothing daunted, the
lovers started arm in arm at a double
quick down the slip and leaped on
board, while a friend followed with the
trunk, which in their innocent bliss
they had forgotten to have checked,
and the boat baggage men had conse-
quently not taken.
The best was to come, for the lover
had meanwhile returned to the wharf,
when the shrill voice of the maiden
was heard above the din as the boat
was swinging away from the pier,
Come here a minute.
The obedient lover again leaped on
board mid the cheers of the crowd and
the encouraging cry of those interested,
You have forgotten to kiss her good
by" and clasping the maiden around
the neck in a loving embrace, implant-
ed a hearty smack upon her lips, and
with one last desperate leap again re-
gained the pier while the air resounded
with the cheers, clapping, etc, from
the witnesses on the wharf and the
boat
Some one remarked that the scene
was good enough to put in the paper
when the lover with radiant face said,
I'm have something better than that
for the paper by and by, for she has
been up here for a fortnight, and
have taken her ali around to my folks,
and they all think l have made a fine
choice-you just wait till fall.

King and TeIegrapher.

A sudden favorable turn of fortune
does not always ALLEVIATE the lucky in
dividual from his habitual occupations.
This more or less wise saw is applicable
to the cause of the present king of
Segon, who was put on the throne of
his black kingdom by Colonel Archin-
ard, when his royal predecessor, Alma
dou, took to flight for his safety.
Mademba, the present monarch, is a
native of the country over which he at
present rules, but was formerly con-
troller of telegraphs at Senegal Be
fore accepting his regal state he made
it a condition that his name should
continue to be inscribed on the list of
telegraph servitors, and that his situa-
ton of king should be considered as
subservient to that Of his original en-
ployment.
Mademba must have learned, either
by intuition or from acute observation,
that the lot of monarch is less certain
in these days than the position of an
officer in the service of the ''Postes ct
Biographies, and so preferred to keep
in reserve what might one day prove to
be happy issue out of all his affiic-
tons.
He has, no doubt, constantly one eye
on his throne and the other one of
memory on the office of his former tele-
graphic exploits. Should the future
bring about for Mademba that change
which is in the modern order of things,
he may return to the tick tick of his
former days, with the right to add to
his title of preference that of ''exking
of Segon."
Politeness in telegraph offices, al
though once seriously complained of by
NJ Guy de Maupassant, is generally the
rule, even with the ordinary employees;
but should Mademba | of Segon ever
return to his Senegalian bureau, his
clients may expect to be treated in
right royal fashion by man who never
lost sight of business, even when pro-
NOTED to the honors of an African
throne. -Galignani' Messenger

From Crad1ey Heath.

Recently q deputatiOn of women
went from Cradley Heath, in England
"a place where women are employed
at heavy work in forging chains-to
London to protest against the passage
by parliament of an act which proposed
to prohibit the use by women of a heavy
forging implement known as the
''oliver" They objected to the pas
sage of the bill on the ground that it
would deprive them of employment.
At London they were questioned at
length upon the manner of their en-
ployment by the home secretary, an
officer whose position in the British
government is much the same as that
Of the secretary of the interior in this
country. Between Mr. Matthews, the
secretary, and the chainwOman, the
following dialogue too place:
Mr.. Matthews-And what's the pre-
you are enga-
Chainwoman breaking in)-I doan't
want to have my work taken AWAY
from me!
Mr.. Matthews (blandly)-Pardon me,
that is not quite the point on which /
desire information. If you will please
explain to me the nature of operation
in which
Chainwoman firm though hustered,
and determined to get out what she had
come all the way to London to say
1t never done me no harm, sir
Mr.. Matthews But, my good wom-
an, if you will suspend your observa-
tons long enough to communicate some
idea-
Chainwoman-Ilik likes the 'eavy work,
sir; an I says, Let each one do what
they canl
The interview proceeded in this I'M
satisfactory way until a questioner was
found who could talk to the chain
women in their own language Youth's
