Better Than Ham. .

some portions of the south, just as pork
and beans delight the palate Of the New
Englanders and catfish and waffies ap-
peal to the taste Of Phi1adelphians.

mercial traveller:
While riding in from an interior town
in the stage he fell into conversation
with the driver. The talk finally turned
upon hunting, the driver informing his
fare that the woods thereabout abound
ed in game. Passing a stream, the trav-
eler asked if it contained fish.
"Lots of them" was the reply.
eWhat kind?'
"Mostly trout, said the dEver. ''All
these mountain streams AZ full Of
trout"
''They must be fine eating" was the
next remark.

"Well, should say so. You just go mp
to the mountains and catch half dozen
trout about 10 OF 10 inches long, clean
'em without washing 'em, rub in some
salt, roll 'em in Injun meal and bake
'em in the ashes. Good eatinl Why,

He turned her lightly to him and
kissed her on the brow. If her flesh had
been touched by marble lips, the caress
could not have chilled or sickened her
more. She could not cling to her father
and sob out her pain. He had always
quietly transferred his griefs to her
How could she expect him to help her
now?
But when he was gone the loneliness
became unbearable. His voice could at
least keep the shadows from closing
around her like tomb Her heavy
glance took in each familiar thing. The
girl with the mask laughed at her from
the corner. The lneysof the organ flashed
back an eerie intelligence.

she is taught household bookkeeping and

BEST KIND OF CHARITY.

The winter months are now fairly
upon u.s. and in a little while the dis
tiess that exists in this city among peo-
pie who are unable to find work will
be emphasized in all its wretchedness
ard poverty. While the condition of
affairs in this respect here has been
exaggerated by few irresponsible peo-
pie into proportions far greater than
the truth, 1t is an absolute fact that
many among our citizens will soon be
reduced to a state of semi-starvation.
Many for the first time in their lives
will be compelled to resort to any kind
of manual labor to keep the wolf from
the door; many too, will have to swal-
low their pride and beg for work-or,
failing to find that, for food.
This deplorable cordltlon Of affairs
is one that calls for every effort on the
part of those who are in affiuent or
comfortable circumstances to alleviate
as far as possible. We know that AS
torians ere liberal enough, but liberal
ity or rather the desire to be liberal,
counts for nothing when 1t is only pas
sive. You should be up and doing, |
hunting up distress, prying into dark
corners to find some charitable deed
that you can do, and then going aheal

WASTED SYMPATHY.


The Rev. Leon Haupts is evidently
a gentleman of very great discrimina-
ton, and a mary ellous physiognomist,
too. He takes exception to the manner
in which we sized UP Rieter the muir
dcrer, and says:
"The unfortunate man has the gloom
of death constantly before him. The
pleasures and troubles of this life have
lost all charms. The only occupation
that takes up his time at present is to
die WELL and that by patient endurance
of punishment he has accomplished the
ends of divine Justice"
This is all very sad and all very
affecting. But the day before yesterday
this same holy prisoner who is trying
to die WELL" wrote a villainous screed
that the jail officials call a poem"
Here are few stanzas:

And as we curl the smoke on high.
We will sing the songs of sinners,
Hoping we viii never die"
The Rev. Leon Houpts does not seem
to have struck it exactly right. There
is discrepancy somewhere that we
are at a loss to account for
We only want to say over again, and
to emphasize the statement that this
Relter Is cold blooded hound on whom
all sympathy or compassion is alto
gether lost. He is one Of those wretches
that help to stir mems souls to acts OF
horrible barbarism. and in the putting
