A Tender Handed Tram n.

Robert James Gordon, a casual, de-
clined to break stone in return for food
and shelter at the Newcastle workhouse,
and doubtless much to the surprise of
the workhouse authorities successfully
resisted the proceedings taken against
him for that act of insubordination. Be-
ing called on in the Newcastle police
court to explain his refusal, Mr.. Gordon,
who appears to be an educated man and
is described as speaking logically and
fiuently," asked the bench to consider
what such work meant to man like
him.
His hands would, he said, become
quite lacerated, and were he a clerk or
tailor the result would be that in search
ing for employment afterward he would
be unable to follow it. In the case of
shorthand writer, too, he asked how he
would be able to write 1870 words per
minute if his hands were mangled in the
way they assuredly would be after break
ing ton OF stone His chances of gain
ing work were thus minimized, and he
submitted respectfully" that accord
ing to law the master-of the workhouse
did not use any of the discretion which
the regulations directed him to use.

A prominent Methodist clergyman,
who now resides in San Francisco. tells
this incident, which occurred ina Pull

As the train passed over the state line
into Iowa a seal was put on the liquor
sideboard in the buffet. and the clergy
man. wishing to test the enforcement of
the prohibition law, called the porter and
asked him if he could get a little whisky.
"Oh, yes. sah. said the porter.
''And how about a little wineY queried
the minister.

prompt and whispered reply.

dare look up or down the creek, and the

dare look up or down the creek, and the
whirl of the water made him dizzy.
Suddenly the water became knee deep
with the sagging of the old bridge, and
he entered The channel. The current
nearly swept him off his feet. He stood
still, heartily repenting the foolhardy
! undertaking. To return was impossible.
Two steps more. The roar of the
black water grew deafening; took pos
session of him. Jack looked up stream.
A huge dim mass was floating swiftly
down the creek. 1t was section of a
covered bridge. 1t swayed toward one
shore, then toward the other, with a hor-
rible drunken reel. The boy reeled, too,
stumbled, and the cane was swept be-
yond his reach instantly. He fell ON his
hands and knees, and there chung to the
beam, the water surging to his neck.
J He got his head again presently. He
caught a glimpse of few lights here
and there in the town. The roar of the
river dashing on into the night drowned
his voice. He closed his eyes and wait
ed. The floating section of the bridge
seemed hours coming. He thought of
the warm dining room at home and his
mothers face above the teacups. He
could see the debating hall through a
luminous mist. He wondered if Hal
stead would speak in his place.
He was growing numb with the chill
of the water. The river seemed to whirl
and rock about him. Then there was
noise like thunder. The bridge had
struck the trestle. A wave swept over
him. The trestle trembled swayed, the
bridge foated broadside, then struck
again. The trestle tottered, wavered,
then the bridge settled against it and
was stationary, and as Jack mechanical
| ly crawled on again he knew that the
| trestle would hold.
Meantime in the debating hall the de-
bate on "Resolved, That strikes are JUS
| tifable," had begun. Guthridge had
amounted the rostrum amid the cheers of
his society, while the Philos were giving
Gardner advice enough to have driven
10 men mad
Glthridge had demolished one by one
the hopes Of the opposition. Every Philo
was silent. Gardiner went hot, then
cold, by turns. 1t was in vain for him
to answer Guthridge
The brilliant speech drew to close.
Strike till the last armed. foe ex-
pires, shouted GutLridge, waving his
arms nadly. "'Strike for your altars
and your fires. Strike for the green
graves of your siresp There are
strilies"--
He broke off silently Every Philo
was on his feet cheering like mad. Four
times the college yell rang out like u
battlecry. Four times, and then the
crowd parted. There in their midst,
painting with the quick run from the
bridge, his eyes ablaze with excitement
and his figure disguised in suit of Hal
stead's old clothes, stood Jack.
OF course the Philosswon, and every
body remembers how all the class cheered
| when the class historian on class day, q
fortnight later, told what Jack dared
and did for the glory of the Philos!--

Reason For Rejoicing.

THE BOY ORATOR.

IF the weather keeps up, I'm afraid
Jack can't get here" said Albert Hal:
stead. He was sitting in the window Of
his room in "Junior hali'' and staring
out on the campus, where the rain was
pouring ON the muddy pools and patches
of sodden grass. The ticket agent says
trains can't cross if the Macoupin rises
much more"
Rise or no rise, Jack buckles III be
here on hand when there's a debate on
foot" Dick Arlington spoke from the
bed He was buried IN pillows and a
deg cared copy of Horace.
"He'd come through fire, to say moth
ing of water, to save our noble Philos
from defeat at the hands of the base,
craven Linophilians! The very mention
of the hated name stirs me hearts ber-
lood!' and Dick sat up and looked ora
torically warlike.
"Well, he'll have plenty of water to
come through. Our chances are pretty
slim without HIM Gardiner can never
hold up against Brooks and Guthridge,
with all the Limos back of them. don't
see why Jack couldn't have put off go
ing to St. Louis till next week."

much abused Horace on the center table,
where it bumped its venerable head
against solid geometry and fell to the
floor, ,how often must / tell you that

don't, and you know how heavy Gardi-
ner is. saw Brooks-Come in. Hello,

Gardiner stood in the doorway, letting
the rain drop from the ferrule of his um-
brella in pool on the carpet 1--WE just

rising-no more trains this evening""

"Yes-telegram. He says he'll leave

mo. Guthridge and Brooks have tc
leave tomorrow, and the fellows from
Springfield are going home tonight"
''Well, perhaps Jack'll come. If he
doesn't, We'll all stand by you, Gardiner,
and do our best"
Itwas raining when Jack left st. Louis.
East St. Louis looked more forlorn than
ever, and the country beyond was fairly
drenched. He was deep in his speech for
the evenings debate when the train
reached Macoupin station. He finished
the argument and looked up.
What are you stopping SO long for?'

TIE LAWYER,s VISION. !
A Remarkable Instance of Physical Suffer-
Ing and Thought Transference.


Ing and Thought Transference.
The Popolo Romano relates the fol-
lowing authentic fact, without giving
more than the initial of the person to
whom it occurred, a distinguished young
lawyer of literary reputation, who stated
that he could not give the most remote
explanation of it; "Some years since, on
hot summer afternoon, the Avvocato
A., together with his wife and two
children, left their house in Via Gaeta at
o'clock precisely for an evening walk.
He was in good health and spirits, but
just as they crossed the street he was
suddenly seized with shock through his
whole body, which caused all the blood
to leave his face and obliged him to sup
port himself against the wall. His wife
in alarm assisted him to steady himself,
anxiously asking what was the matter.
"Herecovsred himself speedily and was
able to continue the walk, only describ-
ing an unaccountable perturbation and
humming in his ears. The evening
breeze and exercise gradually Gained
and revived him, and he completely re-
gained his usual frame. They went to
visit some friends and then rested at
cafe, when toward half past IL o'clock q
storm which had been gathering began
the first blasts of wind, and they hurried
home. Scarcely arrived indoors, the
Avvocato A hurried to remove some
fiowerpots from balcony over the
street, taking a lamp with him. The
wind extinguished the light, SO he had
to continue his operations in the dark,
only illuminated now and then by the
lightning flashes. He was just lifting
the last flower vase, an ornamental one,
given him by his mother, when he was
startled by seeing a kind of black veil
waving upward close in front Of him,
which, it rose, assumed a human form.
''Very much disturbed, he Immediately
related the strange appearance to his
wife, and the perturbation before expe-
rienced again overcame him, leaving
him unable to sleep all night. Early in
the morning came telegram from his
brother at Ferrara stating that their
mother had been suddenly seized with
cerebral syncope the previous evening at
O'Clock and had expired at midnight,
just as the Avvocato A. had seen the
black veil vanish into space"

Smith essayed again andsagain, but
with no better result. A happy thought
struck him when he had recovered his
wind after the tenth blast, and he softly
whispered to himself, Il wonder if the

on end as he heard the sound of his gov

ceiver, mo, John, the old idiot is not

ton concerning business. John was un-

Corduroy Portieres.

Corduroy promises to be a great fa-
vorite, both for hangings and for the
coverings of divans and chairs. In some
of it's newest forms it is strikingly hand
some, showing figures of lighter tone
upon ground of the same color and in
even the familiar plain it is both good
and desirable. For portieres it is espe-
cially to be commended, as it takes rich,
deep folds and gives just that sense of
warmth and freedom from draft that is
to be desired.
