The Unkindest Cut of All.

81 understand your new paper is not
to come ont again" said Miss Cynicus.
Young Renfield bowed his head in as
sent. He had come to her for sympathy,
and his grief was too deep for words.
When his paper suspended the day be-
fore he felt that he had had the chance
of his life and failed. Only an author
filled with youthful ambition could
realize how he had burned the midnight
oil when at last the chance came for him
to make strike for honest fame. But
it was of no avail, and after few weeks
his little sheet went the way of many a
better paper. After the first great pangs
of his sorrow were over he had come to
her he loved the best in the world, feel
ing sure that she could ease his pain.
1T isn't for myself alone l feel so
bad" he went on. "The publisher was
very good to me. He sank great deal
of money in the venture. and while 1
did my best can't help feeling that l

Didn't Know Its Value.

A few days ago met a man from Bal,
timOre who tried to persuade me that
some people down that way do not know
as much about things pertaining to civ
ilization as the average Indian does, and
he told me the story to prove it. Said
he: I'm very fond of horseback riding,
and go off on trips for week some
times. On one of these journeys |
stopped for a minute at drug store in
Maryland village and flung the reins
of my horse to colored boy who was
standing on the sidewalk. On return
ing thanked the lad, handed him what |
supposed to be cent and galloped away
Half an hour later discovered that in
stead of a cent had given him a five
dollar gold piece. had not taken much
money for my trip, and was quite way
from home, and l couldn't spare my
pocket piece just then; at least | didn't
want to. turned back over the road
and re-entel I'd the shop. Said |, Have
you seen anything of the boy that held
my horse here about an hour ago? .
The druggist laughed. Il guess said
he, Il know what you have come for
It's five dollar gold piece, isn't it?'
Yes" said |, little surprised.
Well, the boy came in here and
showed it to me, and asked if would
give him a good cent for it, "'cause he
didn't know muffin bout dat kin O.
money" | saw that there was a mistake
and gave him a DpDDV for II
"YOu can guess | was pretty glad at
the amount # ignorance there was in
the world just then. refunded the
cent, pocketed my gold piece and rode
off."-Brooklyn Eagle.

analogy that the gamblers infatuation
can be compared to the superstitiOus
awe of primitive religion, but one needs
not to go back long way in our own
history to realize that they can be traced
to common source. In 1919 Thomas
Gataker, a Puritan minister, published
his essay on 1.-THE Nature and Use of
Lots" in which, while arguing against
it, he states the common belief to be as
follows:
Lots may not be used but with great
reverence, because the disposition of
them cometh Immediately from God.
The nature of lot, which is affirmed to
bee a worke of Gods special and imme-
date providence, a sacred oracle, di-
vine judgment or sentence; the light use
of it therefore to be an abuse of Gods
name, and so slime against the third
commandment"
How deeply rooted in mans mind the
belief in divine interposition in such
matters has been from early times is
shown by the recourse having been had
to lots in the first momentous act per-
formed by the primitive Christian
church-namely, the election of an apos-
tie. Human direction was relied on
so far as to reduce the number of candi-
dates to two, the qualifications of whom
were so evenly balanced that the de-
cision between them was left to pure
chance, to control which, as was be-
lieved, supernatural interference might
be looked for.-Blackwood's Magazine.

ENGLISH FOLKS AT THE SEASIDE.
Visiting for Pleasure They Waste No Time
in Going to Bed.

Visiting for Pleasure They Waste No Time
i'm Going to Bed.
A man charged with begging once de-
clared that he had not been in bed for
thirteen years; he took his rest in door
ways and passages. This is not bad
record, but many of the homeless class
could probably beat it. Certainly there
are thousands-not only in England, but
all over the world-to whom such lux
ury as bed is unknown; unfortunates
are obliged to lay their heads in the odd
est places imaginable to prevent their
being rudely awakened by the police.
A sad ne'er-do-well told the writer
that this was his principal thought for
more days than he could count. Where
should he sleep that night? And he had
a theory that but for having this
object constantly in view as he tramped
over the monotonous pavements of Lon
don he must have lost his reason. He
laughed himself in after days when he
thought of some of his experiences at
doing out.
Even he, however, never slept in
stream, which was what some thirty
persons of both sexes did at Buda-Pesth
few years back. The water, which
was warm, flowed from a MILL and the
Migrants got into it and converted a
number of stones into temporary pill
lows.
Even people with homes could tell
some strange stories on this head. OF
course in some countries beds are I'M
known. the Japanese, for example,
sleep on the floor muffied in great
wadded coat and with a block of wood
for pillow. But, combining ourselves
to England, just talk to the jewellers in
the slums on this subject. Why, going
to bed there during the summer months
is positively inviting torture. Many
places swarm with vermin, and cOnse-
quently those who live in them find it
more comfortable to sleep anywhere
rather than in the proper place-even on
the doorstep.
The manager of the Isle of Man hotel
remarked few months ago that wis
itors" never went to bed. His servants
are often asked to provide breakfasts at
or a. m. Certainly the streets of
Douglass are pretty lively any time dur
ing the season.
A gentleman is fond of relating that
one night select party settled not far
from his bedroom window and created
the most discOrdant din imaginable. He
bore it with exemplary patience for
about five hours, and then, dressing him
self, he vert out and mildly eXpostu-
lated, saying he wanted some sleep.
Sleep roared one of the gang, blow
ing terrific blast on toy trumpet;
"then what did you come to the Isle of
Man for:"
They say at Blackpool, too, that if you
arrive at any hour of the day or night
you are just in time for something or
other. The story goes that early one
morning dance was in progress on one
of the piers, when shipwrecked sailor,
who had been drifting about on spar
and had fortunately "landed" on the
girders below, crawled up the steps.
The NJ. c. came forward-they are never
surprised at Blackpool-smiled, bowed
and said: PLEASED to see you, sir. Can
| find you a partner" Journal.
