Wall Street CrippIes,

"Down in the district oftown known
as Wall street." distinguished rail-
road official said recently, number
of sturdy men move about on crutches.
They have all their arms and legs;
their faces are as rule the faces of
men whose lives are not too hard;
they do not sport the Grand Army
buttons. If you watch them you see
that they do not rely very greatly on
their crutches; that the crutches, to be
sure, are always under the arms in the
right position for use, but they
are used very seldom. One of
the church bearers will stand
and talk to a friend, holding the
crutches entirely off the sidewalk, and
will gesticulate with them violently;
then starting on he will let the
foot of the crutch touch ground
once in every three or four or half a
dozen steps. These gentlemen are
railroad cripples,' who are suing
railroad companies for alleged dam
ages; they go around with crutchss
so they can swear on the witness
stand that they were on crutches for
six months after the accident, on &C.
count of which they are suing. "-New

An Angel in Disguise.

Ifthe wives ofour employers were to take
the trouble to inquire little closer into
the domestic lives of the men employed by
their husbands, says Mr.. Box in The La
dies Home Journal, this world would be
far brighter one for many a hard-worked
woman who buries her trouble in her heart,
and wipes away the only outward trace of
it with her apron. / know of an employer
whose wife interested herselfi in the lives of
the people in his store so that she ascer-
tanned the birthdays oftheir wives, their
children, and even the wedding-days. 1t
was done SO quietly and so sweetly that
none suspected her purpose. But now on
each festive day in those Fl ty odd families
there comes some pleasant remembrance
Il is never the same, but ALWAYS something
that is just needed in that family at that
time. Every six month those husbands
find little difference in their salary en-
yelopes. At Thanksgiving splendid bird
goes to each otthe houses in the EMPLOYERS
name: at Christmas time the hand OF the
wife is visible. Now that is practical char
ity. God only knows how many burdens
that one woman has made easier how
many lives she has made brighter. None
of the women whose paths this one woman
has so pleasantly smoothed has ever seen
herl TO them she is like an invisible angel
OF goodness, but many are the silent pray
ers that 20 up in those fifty homes for her
gentle consideration for Others.

sLUMRER SONG.

The mill goes toiling slowly around,
With steady and solemn creak,
And my little one hears In the kindly sound
The voice ofthe old mill speak;
While round and round those big white
wings,
.utimly and ghostlike creep,
My little one. hears that the old mill sings,
Sleep; little tulip; Sleep"
The sails are Eeefed and the nets are drawn,
And; oYet, his pot ofbeef,. 49,
The fisher Against the morroWs dawn,
Justify maketh cheer.
He mocks at the winds that caper along
From the far-off clamerous deep,
But we've love their lullaby song
OF "Sleep, little tulip sleep"
Shaggy old Fritz, in slumber sound,
Groans of the stony mart
Tomorrow how proudly he'll trot you
around,
Hitched to our new milk Cart
And you shall help me blanket the kline,
And fold the gentle sheep,
And set the herring a-soak in brine
But now, little tulip sleep!
A Dream-One comes to button the eyes
That YEARLY droop and blink,
While the old mill Bullets the frowning
skies,
And scolds at the stars that wink.
Over that beautiful Drcam-O One sweep,
And, rocking your cradle) she softly
sings
"sieep, little tulip, sleep"

General Surprise.

The man-eating tiger is creature
both cunning and audacious. Onede-
scribed by Sir Samuel Baker, which
became the victim of practical joke,
was not the typical old and NANCY
Animal; but a powerful beast, of al
most unsxampled fer6city. IL was
fherciless highwayman, which infested
a portion of the road, and frequently
carried off the drivers of bullock carts
to feast upon them in the jungle.
The natives feared to travel with a
single cart, and it became the custom
to pass the dreaded spot with several
teams together. This, however,
proved vain precaution, for the tiger
seized the driver of the hindmost cart,
and made away with him, in spite of
the cries of those left behind.
At length, Mr.. Duff, the superintend-
ent of police, provided two covered
carts, each drawn as usual, by two
bullocks. The leading one was fitted
with strong bars of bamboo, which
formed an impenetrable cage. In this
the driver was seated, and Mr.. Duff
himself sat with his face toward the
rear, prepared to fire throug the bars
at the moment of attack.
This would have been an exciting
time for the driver, but that individ-
ual was personated by a dummy
stuffed with straw, which might prove
tempting to the tigers eye, out would
hardly satisfy his palate.
Slowly the carts moved along the
dreaded path. Suddenly there was a
roar and crash in the jungle. A
large tiger bounded forth, seized the
dummy driver, and dragged him away.
Nothing could have been better
planned, but one chance, necessary to
success, had been forgotten. No soon
er had the tiger roared and bounded
upon the carts than the bullocks, ter
rifed beyond control, went full gallop
across the country, followed by the
other team, all in the widest panic.
1t was impossible to fire, and after
a few seconds of desperate chariot
racing, both carts capsized, and lay,
with the animals, in a heap on the
ground. The victorious man-eater,
victim of what he must have consid.
cred practical joke, was left to dry
meal of straw-stuffed carter, instead
of the juicy native he had expected to
get.-Youth's Companion.

An .X" for a Fec.

In former days doctors were occasionally
difident about charging very large fees, but
they liked to be paid ION the spot" when
they were called in or consulted. The de-
vices they resorted to in order 20 obtain
good fee were sometimes ingenious.
DIR. Senter of Boston, according to the
Youths Companion. always expected fee
oil $40 tor a consultation; but the price was
regarded as so exorbitant that he did not
actually require it.
However, he had little pile of ten dol
lar notes left upon his office table in plain
sight of his patients, and also in plain sight
of his own watchtul eyes. Seeing those
new bills, looking as if they had been flung
down one by one by previous visitors, the
patient hardly had any choice but to add
one to the number.
One day merchant, known to the doctor
to the be wealthy, but somewhat ayari-
cious came TO consult him and took much
of his time. In rising to go the patient
handed the doctor five dollar bill.
DIR. Senter at once put ON his spectacles,
got down on his knees, and began to look
about under the chairs and beside the table.
What are looking for?" said the patient.
why, or the other one, " said the doc
tor.
"The other what?"
''rhe other bill. All! didn't you drop
one2'
The merchant drew out a second five dol
lar bill, put it down upon the table with
out word and hurried out of the room
slamming the door behind him.

Country Life in the Argentine,

In a new country the traveller must
not be particular, much less exacting;
above all, he must not expect refine
ment among the inhabitants, whose
whole efforts barely suffice to sustain
the combat against the elements.
Still, I cannot refrain from noting the
impression of sadness and disgust pro-
duced by the sight of the towns and
colonies of the pampa, and glimpse
of the life that the inhabitants lead.
Verify the majority live worse than
brutes, for they have not even the
cleanly instincts of the beasts of the
field. Their houses are less agreeable
to the eye than an Esquimau's hut.
The way they maltreat their animals
is sickening to behold. Rarely do you
see the face of a man, woman, or child
that does not wear bestial and fero-
cious expression. In the villages there
are no clubs, no libraries, no churches,
no priests, rarely even a school. The
men and women work, eat, and sleep,
and their only distraction is thegross-
est bestiality, gambling and drinking
in the pulperia, with occasionally
little knitting and firing. Dur
ing my whole. stay in the Argentine,
and in all centres that l visited, was
struck by the utter absence of moral
restraint, and by the hard materiality
of the faces of the people, from the
highest down to the lowest-Rarper's

When mother seeks to precipitate
herself and three children, one an in
FAINT, into the river as the only escape
fromthe sufferings of hunger and want,

table organizations OF the city where

courageous effort to escape from an en-
barrassing situation certainly deserv-

The Able accepted an invitation of

said to him:
"Monseigneur was very angry with

he had been remiss and attended the
Princes next reception to offer ahum-

His Highness, as soon as he per-

Friday March. ~.


At the opening ofthe morning session Of
the senate yesterday there were no petit
tons letters or reso utions, and tho intro
duction of bills was proceeded with. At
the end OF halt an hour the senators had
emptied their pockets and desks, and then,
rs it was the last day for the introduction
oil new bills. ii was voted to return to that
order at o'clock in order that no one
should be shut off from getting any of his
measures before the senate.
A bill introduced by Senator Tawney
raises the tax on the output OF iron mines
from cent per ton to 3 cents per ton.
Senator Dean introduced bill prohibit
ing pool rooms and the selling of pools.

hibiting all persons from engaging in pri-
vate banking in Minnesota.

A bill introduced by Senator Probstfield
extends the time oil redemption from mort
gage sales of real estate from one to three
years, on the condition that taxes and in
terest are paid.
Yesterday was the last day in the house
for the introduction of bills and the repre-
sentatives did not fail to take advantage of
it, For several hours there was a continu-
Gus stream of new bills which dealt with
all manner of subjects and matter and leg
islated npon what has been callld the five
elements-earth, fire, air, water and
whisky. When the first grist OF bills had
been introduced and read there was a brief
intermission and some other business was
transacted. but the fit came on at intervals
during the day, and before the hour OF adj
journment 125 bills had been introduced
Any one who has travelled over countr

ions Of a bill introduced by Mr.. DAILY,
which provides that all double sleighs used
i'll Washington county shall be of the width
of sixty inches between the runners and
providing a fine for violations of this law.
Mr.. Hadland introduced a bill limiting
the expense of the state board Of corrections
and charities, which shall not exceed the
sum OF 81, 500 annually.
Mr.. Thomas Cole introduced bill which
proposes to abolish the state board known

observance of seven legal holidays in this
state, including New Years day. Washing

A Bad General Presumption.

I think it is not to be denied that
the rules by which testimony is adj
mitted or excluded, originating in the
purpose of the English courts to pro-
tect innocent persons from prosecu-
tions often malicious, and accusa-
tions often false, under laws frequent
ly unjust and arbitrary, do now some
times produce effects unfair to society
and partial to the criminal class.
Taken in connection with the require
mefft 6f b Unanimous verdict from
twelve jurors, selected by process that
carefully Sits out intelligence and
competence, the result, in large pro-
portion of cases, is the escape of the
guilty at the cost and risk of the COM
munity. | am even tempted to go so
far as to say that in large class of
criminal cases the presumption of in
nocence for the accused is, if not
wholly unfounded, at least much too
obstinately maintained, and that the
rights of society are ignored or violat'

Something IS lost
when you use DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's Catarrh. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing, and healing properties.
No matter how bad your case, or of
how long standing, you can be cured.
Incurable cases are rare. It's worth
$500 to you, if you have one. The
manufacturers of DR.. Sage's Remedy
are looking for them. They'll pay
you that amount in cash, if they
can't cure you. It's a plain square
offer from a responsible business
house, and they mean it. 1t seems
too one-sided, too much of a risk.
1t would be-with any other medi-
cine behind it. 1t only goes to prove
what's been said incurable cases
are rare-with DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy.
Other so-caIled remedies may pal
late for a time this cures for all
time. By its mild, soothing, cleans
ing and healing properties, it con-
quers the worst cases. 1t removes
offensive breath, loss or impairment
of the sense of taste, smell or hear
ing, watering or weak eyes, when
caused by the violence of Catarrh,
as they all frequently are.

Alexander knocked the chief down.

the drawer, but the drawer was locked,
and he claimed down and demanded
to be let out,

Alexander, seeing what his foolish
Joke had done, resorted to desper-

him on the spot. For a minute or
two White Cloud was obstinate; but
Alexander produced two bottles of
whiskey and promised him these.
