chief of the Russian secret police OF Paris
was killed at his desk in the Hotel de
Babe. All the resources Of French police
and detective administration were put TO
work to catch the assassin and failed. He

He learned in school the ordinary draw

but soon developed a system of his own.
He draws and paints animals in motion,
and his greatest delight is in soldiers and
battle scenes. At length he made COM

and the result was the prompt admission
of the boy as pupil. Director w. M. R.
French, of the institute, says the only
thing to be feared is that the boy will be

was charged with having forged checks
and notes to the amount of 10000. The
trial took the better part of two days, as
the testimony of the Chinese witnesses re-
quired to be interpreted. These notes and
checks had been cashed or discounted for
Chu Fong by Wall street lawyer named
johnson, who first met the crafty celestial
when that pious person was barHzed into
Brooklyn church, of which johnson was
u member.
The lawyer says that his Chinese friend
represented himself as the owner of the
house at 10 Mott street and member of
the firm of kuong Hing Luong & Co
These notes were represented as given in
the regular course of the business of the
firm and also to establish hospital for
sick Cinnamon. Many of the checks were
paid and Chu Fong looked after the notes
with renewals. At length. however, the
scheme was discovered and Chu Fong was
arrested. He said that he had signed the
checks and notes MT the instigation of Law
yer johnson and did not know what he
was doing johnson, however, said that
Chu Fong knew thoroughly what he was
about, rs he was the smartest Chipaman
he ever saw.
On the witness stand in his own defense
Chu Fong said that when he met johnson
he was worth 10000, and now that John
son had all of his money He was so child
like in his efforts to explain his business
dealings that the presiding Judge asked
whether the defense meant to set up plea
OF imbecility or insanity, The firm denied
that Chu Fong had any right to sign its
name, and Lawyer johnson testified that
he was 10000 out of pocket The China.
men who testified to Chu Fong's character
said he was good or bad as they each hap,
pened to feel toward him. The jury was
out ten minutes and returned with a YER
dice of guilty. And SO ended the career Of
the Mott street Napoleon of finance.

The dowry of Turkish bride is
fixed by custom at about 81. 70, which
amount, for polite reasons, is seldom
departed from, even by the rich. The
wedding day is invariably Thursday,
and the customary wedding festivi-

days. They are carried on by men
ana women separately, and each day
Is distinguished by different cere-
mony. No spoons or forks or wine
are used at the wedding feast. Phil

any more agreeable than OF yore. he
bore still greater likeness to sick
monkey than in his early youth, and
she was stout and 50 absurdly infantile
as to resemble giant baby. She
seemed very happy; he looked bilious
and discontinued.

"You didn't" said his wife,
"Where was it, them" asked he.
"Oh, quite my own fault; very care
less. No consequence now, at all
events"
II should have noticed if you had
taken your glove off in the street,
Albert, said Mrs. PEBBLES. IA laven
der glovel No, you wore it into the
room"
mo consequence, said PEBBLES;
Every little thing"
But it was growing to be of much to
me. They got out at the next station
They had country seat there, they
told me. She asked me to call. Isaid
would. AS soon as they were gone
| plunged my hand into my bosom and
fished out my treasured glove the
lavender one perfumed with violet, SO
slender, so sweet SO like her. | un
folded it; thrust my hand into the
opening. There was something in
side. unbuttoned the wrist without
delay and drew that something out,
and in my hand held two one hun
bred dollar bank notes.
The truth was too plain. For eight
years had worn next my heart, kissed
and apostrophized not my lost loves
perfumed glove, but that of my rival
and detestation, Mr.. Albert PEBBLES
The fact that was thief, and might
have been arrested if old Mrs. Smith
had recognized my step, became as
nothing in view of the disgusting and
humiliating truth which | have re-
corded
Mr. PEBBLES glovel My opinion Of
it was entirely altered. His little,
scraggy. effeminate hand had worn it..
II looked to me as | stared at it as
though it had belonged to contemp-
tible little sick monkey. 1t went home
to him the next day by exp ess, with
his money inside of it and no word Of
explanation, no clew to the sender, and
the spell was broken forever
Shortly met an extremely bright
and capable young lady, fell in love
with her, and married her. But can
not even yet think of having wept
over Albert PEBBLES glove for eight
years without a certain sensation of
nausea.-Mary Kyle Dallas in Fireside

The arms embraced the children small

-- a Forecast or racinc Commerce..
Tho newer west, If it can have no In
terror water strafIlc, will nevertheless
have indeed already has-a COM
mercial position of vast Importance.
Years since grcat Russian publjcist,
Alexander Herven, wrote OF the Pacific
ocean as destined to be the New Worlds
Mediterranean. It was pointed out that
nearly onc-half Of the globes inhabi-
tants were on the Asian side thereof,
and were therefore its commercial tri5-
utaries Tho American shores Of the
Pacific are to be first considered in all
forecasts of commercial progress and
power. The people who are making
Puget sound alive with their activities
are surely bound to grasp the traffic Of
the North Pacific. The men OF the
Oregon and California coast are not
likely to be limited in their industrial
ambitions. One OF their captains"
holds the Sandwich Islands in his
hands, and Samoa viii yet, despite the
triple protectorate, fall easily under
American control mot necessarily gov
ernmental, however.
No matter What action British or
Canadian statesmen may take, and
however vast the sums they expend, 1t
will soon be seen in our national coun-
ellis that the newer west will demand,
and that its growing business activity
will compel, tho absorption not only Of
the whole coast from Washington to
Alaska, but of at least the northwest
ern portion Of the Dominion. British
Columbia and all the rest east Of Win
nipeS will ere long be looking toward q
continental union. The same law of
physical unity which has been consid-
cred as Immediately affecting tho
newer west and its internal polity must
control In the extension Of our republic
to the northwest. The peninsular Of
Lower California will finally follow the
same directive impulse. Col Richard
