Wise Little Jenny and Foolish Little Jack.
"To-marrow is Valentines day, and
] s'pose you little folks will be wanting
to send somebody a valentine
Aunt Becky was fumbling in her
little, old, green purse as She said this,
and she fished out dime and handed

"Oh. thank youn' they both ex-

scented more real affection than some
peoples dollars. for she worked for
every penny she had.
Now. good-bv." she said, kissing
them both, and Jack and Jenny kissed
back just as heartily. She had been
making weeks visit there, and they
had enjoyed it as they always did, for
nobody else was always SO ready to tell
stories, mend mittens aud dress dolls,
as Aunt Becky.
Tin so glad of this dime, . Jenny said

mice got at it in the summer, and
gnawed off the fringe you see. The

1t flashed through Jennys mind that
Widow Stone needed just that shawl.
On that morning she had seen her out
picking up wood with pitiful rag of a
shawl over her shoulders
''She needs it more than Ada needs
valentine. she said to herself and
without waiting to change her mind,
she bought it and went out, not trust
ing herself to look at the valentines
The next morning Widow Stone was
surprised to find bundle tied to her
door-knob, marked in large letters:
Wear it, Ills fine.
From your Valentine
She was so pleased with the shawl
that she hobbled across the road to
show it TO Jenny's mother.
''To think o. my havin' valentine, "

year old, and never had one before in

Upon the soft cheek of little Ethel,

The Department Taking Steps to Bring

Washington, July 1.-THE Star this
evening gives publicity to the following
statement regarding gold payments
from the United States treasury at
New York: Considerabl effort is being
made by financial agents here to dis
cover the notice behind these payments,
but the department is as close-mouthed
as a clam The explanation got through
private sources is that the department
is trying to take advantage of the
scarcity of small and convenient cur
rency for internal business to pinch the
banks, as the banks have pinched the
government, by steering gold The
banks are greatly in need of small bills
for current business transactions and
use in the agricultural districts. The
theory advanced is that IL they can
not.get what they neen of this sort
of currency by other means they will
have to make terms with the treasury,
which will involvethe exchanging OF
gold or gold certificates in large quanti-
ties for notes and certificates Of small
denominations.

Chicago, July 17,-Another horrible
disaster attributable to streets crossing
the grade of railroads occurred this
evening. The incoming passenger train
on the Grand Trunk road crashed into
a crowded street car at Forty-ninth
street, killing Charles Perkins, John
Dillon and Mrs. Maggie Murphy, and
wounding eight others, of whom two
will probably die Forty-ninth street
crossing is network of tracks, and
has always been regarded as a danger
GUS spot. A long freight train going
west had just passed, and the tower
flagman raised the gates This was a
signal that the way was clear, and the
driver of the car started ahead. The
passenger train, which was rapidly ap-
preaching from the west, struck the
street car squarely in the middle, turn
ing it around and hurting it thirty feet
from the point where it was struck
Some of the passengers managed to
save themselves by jumping. The po-
lice arrested the engineer and firemen
on the train. The engineer said he did
not see the street car until it was on
the track, and SO close that it was inn
possible for him to stop. The tower
man did not see the passenger train
until after the gates were raised and
the street car started ahead
