APleasant Woman Writer.

Mrs. L. B. Walfore, the novelist, is
described as a fair-skinned blue-eyed,
brown-haired woman, with brilliant
smile, whose appearance is more youth
full than one would expect in the moth
er of seven children. Her home, Gram
brooke Hall, near London. is charm
ing old place, dating back 200 years,
but improved and enlarged of late
years. Thomas Day, the author of
Stamford and Merton" and Anne and

her literary tastes, although she began
underwriting only after her marriage.

literary work Mrs. Walford finds time
to do little spinning and much EN-

lows you to bring
him here again I'll report you and
you'll get the G. b. See?"
Number Forty did as he been direct
ed and Jonah went out into the rainy
night with his head banging and his
tail between his hind legs, as he had
done many time before.
Jonah was a dog-a mean looking
cur at that, and was accustomed to the
treatment he had just received. Jonah
did not care, so why should Number
Forty? Forty was telegraph mes
senger with all of boys love for
dogs, and especially for the homeless
and abused sort.
Jonah was just of that Sort only
little more so, for he began his career
by falling down well, when nothing
but diminutive, inquisitive puppy.
From this predicament he was barely
rescued by his present owner, and
from that day the seal of attachment
had been set.
Jonah was passably pretty puppy
in those days, but after repeated scald-
ings, kickings and the like, he had been
rudely chast from the home of Forty
never to return, on penalty OF death.
Then when Forty attained to the
dignity of earning his own living, in
the service of the tie legraph company,
Jonah was given place IN box near
the office, where he rapidly grew to be
favorite with all the folks in the Of
fee save the night operator.
Jonah, in his inquisitive ramb les
about the Office, during his stay there,
had upset battery jar full of muriatic
acid, burning half the hair from his
ugly hide, and rendering himself still
more ugly.
He had also chewed up the boys caps,
when they were left within reach. But
these and many other misdemeanors,
while gaining for him the sobriquet he
now enjoyed, had failed to attract the
night operators attention.
One evil night, however, Jonah dared
to enter the sacred precincts behind
the operators desk and devour that
worthy mans midnight lunch
From that time forth they were at
odds and Forty had sorrowful time
of it, between his love for the dog and
q desire to retain his position.
One night the wind was bowling like
mad, and the rain was dashing madly
down from the inky blackness above
when the door opened suddenly and a
tall, we'll dressed man stepped quickly
inside.
He went forward to the operators
table, wrote a note hurriedly and in q
nervous manner, inquired if it could b.

women As Cattle Dealers.

A western cattle rancher says it is be-
cor ing an everyday occurrence to see
woiaen out west dealing in cattle and
hoses The loneliness and hardships
of the great prairies do not seem to
deter energetic women from the pur-
pose of conducting profitable business
A few days ago cattle queen from
Idaho sold two carloads of fine horses
at Omaha at a much better figure than
any man could have obtained.

muttered.
Then there came scratching and a
whining at the door. Jonah had ar
rived. On that dog" This came
from the operator. Then sudden
thought struck him. Forty and Jonah
were inseparable. Jonah without Forty
meant mischief.
Stepping hastily to the door, he
threw il open Jonah came in, head
down, tail dropping, and his whole
frame shivering and dripping with rain.
He was splashed all over with mud,
but in his mouth, free from dirt, he
held Forty's book. He dropped it on
the floor and stood guard over it.
The operator had never addressed
him kindly before, and how could he,
Jonah, understand the coaxing voice
that addressed him now?
The operator could not reach the
book without danger of being bitten,
for the dog snapped viciously whenever
he attempted it.
Here, Ten, you are used to play
ing with that cur-get the book from
him.
mine, you get down to the Central
station as quick as your legs can go,
take an officer over Forty's trip, and
don't come back till you find what has
happened to him."
Before Nine had departed Ten had
coaxed the book from the dog in con-
sideration of previous friendly romps.
The message and money were safe, but
before the tall man departed he laid a
ten dollar bill upon the desk, saying to
the operator;
Buy collar for that dog and put
four more away to keep him in meat
When that's gone I'll send more-here's
my card. Give it and the remaining
five to the boy"

Looks Like a Labor Joke.

The tocsin OF liberty has been
sounded once more and the Republic
a hewgags are shrieking in unison.
American labor is to be protected
again. 1t seems that a company of
Chinese actors who have been play
ing in Cuba contemplate coming to
the United States. The administers
ton has received information con-
cerning this appalling Eruption and
yesterday the Collectors OF the various
ports along the Atlantic coast were
notified 10 look out tor these Chinese
players and not allow them to land.
The decree has been promulgated,
by the Collectors anu the only chance
these Chinese strolling players now
have vi effecting an entrance anywhere
on the United States coast is to run
their ship ON IL rock and get thorough
ly wrecked. Then a li~fe-saving crew
will bring them to shore in boats OF
breeches buoys. OIL sings, or some
thing OF that sort, for even Americh
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by Republican
officiais-would hardly demand that
the poor wretches should be left to
drown.
This may be set down as the biggest
joke ever perpetrated upon the
American artisan in the name OF
American labor. What do American
wage-earners care whether these
Chinese strollers come here to play or
not? What harm can they do the
American workinyinan2
1t is said that the proposed repul-
sion is in the interest of bands OF
strolling American players, who may

Cinnamon are allowed to COM

to discern, however, where the
competition can come in, even if

Unsettled South America.

Unsettled South America.
South America seems to be in need
III a good. strong, serviceable, back
{ction, automatic earthquake, with
3pecial application to Cnile and
Brazil.
The latter, though it had hardly
settled down to the new form of gov
eminent that followed the overthrow
o. Dom Pedro, is already in the throes
bf another revolution. The Congress.
having decided to establish the safe
guard of impeachment, President
Fonseca vetoed the act. The Congress
promptly passed the measure over the
obi .ctions, whereupon the President
dissolved the body and declared mar
tIal law. Following this, it is re-
pprted, he has decided to
eStablish himself as dictator. There
Stems no reason to doubt the
LITTER report. the news which pre-
c4ded it having been authenticated.
While the news was entirely unex-
pfcted. it can not be denied that it is
a fitting sequel to the methods by
which the government oil Fonseca was
established. The overthrow OF Dom
Pedro was largely a triumph Of null
tary owe civil power. The only
hope that remains for the people and
liberal government is that the dissolu-
ton of Congress may be followe d by
proper methods-the submission of
the questions involved to the people
and tile choice OF a new Congress.
This does not seem likely. however,
because that might involve the cleo
ton OF a new President to the Con-
gress-a risk that Fonseca would not
be likely 10 take.
The situation in Chile is equally a
surprise, because it involves u plot to
assassinate Colonel Canto, who led
the Congressional troops in the revo-
luton recently closed, and to whom,
it would seem, the people of Chile are
under especial obligations. The plot,
however, is not in the nature OF a pop
ular uprising. 1t seems rather TO be
a Conspiracy Matched among the fol
lowers of Balmaceda, and to
have aroused intense indig-
nation among the people OF
Santiago and Valparaiso when it be-
came known. Still, the activity OF
the Balniacedists would seem to indi-
cate a belief on their part that the
people will support them if they car
manifest sufficient strength to warrant
an uprising. This country has acontin-
gent interest in the matter, because
the Congressionalists allege that the
plot was fomented by refugees who
sought the protection of the United
STAKES Legation, Senior Juan McKenua
being named as one of the foremost
conspirators. Minister Egan denies
this. however, positively. 1t is a re-
markable fact, however, that when
eve trouble looms up in that country,
Egan is right in IT. and succeeds in
dragging the United States more OF
less into it too. 1t is time he was
| shelved.
