Didn't Take Quite all.

Senator Carlisle is comparatively q
poor man. He was never able to save
money, end the pay of Cabinet officer
-SS, ,OOO-pays about one-third the ex.
penses of the Secretary of the Treasury.
When Senator Lamar, who had just mar.
ried young wife, vas appointed Secre'
tary of the Interior by Mr.. Cleveland
his bride spent week house hunting,
and finally found what seemed to be a
suitable residence for cabinet officer.
She drove to the Senate, of which Mr..
Lamar was still q member, to tell her
husband the news of her discovery. His
first question was:
"What is the rent dear?"
"Seventy-Ave hundred year."
The Senator lapsed into deep thought
and the young wife said, rather nervous
ly:
"Do you thiuk it extravsgant?" ?"
1T is not that" returned Lamar slow
ly. II vas just wondering what l should
do with the other $500 of my salary"

A Story Told By WattersOn.

"That was queer story Henry Wat.
terson told in his lecture about defalca-
tion case at Louisville" said gentle.
man who heard the eloquent journalist
at Entertainment hall, to a St. Louis
Republic writer. He said that seve
raj years ago a gentleman holding a
commanding commercial and social po.
sition in the Kentucky metropolis had
used the funds of the corporations Of
which he was the trusted financial head,
and when the day of accounting came
be found he was short in his accounts.
The time was too brief to make the de-
6cit good, and his own funds we're in
such shape that he was inextricably en-.
tangled. he was an honest man, but
in a moment of over confidence had per.
misted himself to deviate from the mar
row path just enough to use the firms
cash as a temporary loan, promising to
return it at once and promptly. AS is
always the case he failed to keep his
promise, and the delay was dangerous
when the time came he could not. In
stead Of waiting the inevitable discovery
be called q meeting of the directors,
made straightforward confession, re-
signed his position, threw himself upon
the mercy of the court, 80 to speak, and
pledged himself to pay every dollar if he
were not exposed and prosecuted. An
animated discussion followed, and a
large majority we're in favor Of giving
the delinquent chance. His hitherto
high standing and undoubted business
ability were in his favor, not to mention
that he might have skipped if he had de.
sired. Two of the directors held out.
They thought it would be compromising
felony, and it was an awful thing to
let such man loose upon the unsuspect.
ing community. But they we're out
voted and the defaulter was given an.
othet chance. He is now prosperous
and wealthy business man of Louisville.
Two years after his misfortune one of the
two men vho had objected to his release,
was fugitive in Texas charged with en-
bezzling, and at the end Of another year
the other fled to Canada to escape arrest
on the same charge. In the whirligig o
time this prosperous merchant, whose
early misfortune these two men had en-.
deavored to turn into disgrace and ca
lamity, said Col. Watterson, was the fore
man of the grand jury that indicted tb'
two fugitives: Beware the first falls,
step, continued Col. Watterson, but DON
always condemn the victim without Civ
ing him the benefit of the doubt"

Lamar's Lash.

The death of Justice Lamar has recall.
ed his well-known devotion to the Con-
federacy, and his love for the leader of
the losr cause was productive of one OF
the most dramatic scenes in the history
of the Senate. The Mexican pension
bill was Under consideration and sn
amendment pended extending Its provi-
sions to all veterans irrespective of .heir
course in the war between the States. II
was near adoption. Congress, it was
said, could best shcw its desire to forgive
and forget by extending the benefits OF
the measure to those who had once borne
arms against the colnmon County. The
amendment was near adoption, when
Senator Zach Chandler came to his feet
with short speech, in which he said
that while in the main he agreed to the
general tenor of the amendment, ye,
under its provisions even Jeff Davi,
would be restored to citizenship. And
be added, II am not prepared to go 80 fal
as that"
Lamar arose. His intense excitement
was evident. Between him and Chand
Ter strong personal antsgonism exist
ed. An outburst was expected and il
came.
"Mr. President" said the Mis-issip-
plan, with outstretched fuger pointing
at his foeman, his tall form trembling
with emotion, but his voice bell like in
its clearness and without quiver in it,
"When Prometheu lay bound to the rock
it was not the king of beasts who avied
himself of his distress. II WIS not any
other of the nobler brutes of the field or
birds of the air. 1t was the vulture, the
scavenger of the animal kingdom glut-
toning upon carrion, which preyed upon
his vitals, knowing that in defenceless
man, who could move neither hand nor
foot, be had one into whose vitals be
could dig his beak"
He sat down amid stiffness so pro-
found that the rustic of paper sounded
harshly. Chandler WAS deadly pale.
Drops of perspiration stood upon his
forehead and be clinched the arm of his
chair until the strained wood creaked
It was expected that be would reply.
Twice be half rose then sank back. He
did not reply.

Womnn's Physical Superiority.

True, she cannot sharpen pencil, and
outside of commercial circles, she can't
tie package to make it look like any
thing save a crooked cross section OF
chaos but see what she can do with q
pin I believe there are some women
who could almost pin glass knob to a
door. She cannot walk so many miles
around q billiard table with nothing to
eat, and nothing Ito speak of to drink,
but she can walk the floor all night with
a fretful baby, without going sound asleep
the first balf-hour. She can ride FIVE
hundred miles without going into the
smoking car to rest land get away from
the children She can 60 to town and
do wearsome days shopping, and have
good time with three or four friends,
without drinking keg ofbeer. She can
enjoy an evening visit without smoking
halfa dozen cigars. She can endure the
torturing distraction of house full Of
children all day, while her husband cuffs
them bowling to bed before he has been
home an hour. Every day she endures a
dress that would make an athlete swoor.
She is afraid of mouse, and runs from q
COW, but book-sgent can't scare her.
She is the salt of the church, the pepper
choir, and the life of the sewing society,
and about all there is of young ladies'
school or a nunnery. A boy with q sis
ter is fortunate, a young man with q
sweetheart is happy, a fellow with cou-
sin is to be envied, and man with
a wife is thrice blessed more than they
all.

What do the People Say z

Attorney General Miller came from
one of the old interior towns of New
York. To reach the place yoI leave the
railroad at STATEN and take an ancient
vehicle for mile or two over the pike.
Some time ago Attorney General Miller
visited the scene of his early manhood.
AS he left the train there was the "bus,
looking Just as be remembered it, and
there was the driver, little older, 8
little more stopped about the shoulders,
but otherwise the same monosyliabic
philosopher of the front seat. Mr.. Miller
climbed into the back end and shifted
his nose and encountered the well re-
membered odor of the stable. The
Attorney General reintroduced himself
to old Dick, and, as he was the only pas
senger, he opened conversation while the
"bus" ratified and bumped along the
pike
"Doesn't seem to be much change here,
Dick ?" suggested Mr.. Miller, with the
rising infection.
"Nope," replied Dick.
"You look about as you did the last
time was here" was the next thing the
Attorney General fred at the back of the
old drivers head.
"Yep," said Dick, carreasing the flesh
of the off horse with the buckskin snap
per.
"Got the same old bus, haven't you 2"
asked Mr. Miller, looking at the holes in
the seat cushions
"The identical same," answered Dick,
never turning around.
"Town improved much since I left ?"
veutured Mr.. Miller.
"Nope," was Dicks disccuraging re-
sponse.
"People changed any? ?" was the next
query.
call jes' about the same," said Dick,
refusing to take the lead and unbosom
with the local gossip
"I suppose you know I'm in the presi-
dents cabinet" said Miller, after little
pause, in which he decided to make one
more effort to start Dicks tongue.
$50 heard" was the laeonic reply.
"What do people say about it?" was
the last effort.
"Don't say nothin'; jes' laugh" said
Dick.

He Kept His Word.

A man who is constitutionally incapa-
BILE of telling the truth is difficult sub
ject to manage. He requires such dras'
tic treatment as Colonel Cockerill, the
managing editor of the New York World,
once administered to a man who never
told the truth when q lie would answer.
Cocketill was then editor of struggling
weekly in Western town, and one
morning fellow walked into the Office,
saying: "If you'll send me your paper,
I'll bring you load of wood next week"
The editor suggested that he would pre-
fer to see the wood first.
"Oh, that'll be alright" said the sub
scriber. "Just you send me your paper,
and"
"See here. How an I to know that
you are going to keep your word Z"
easy enough. If that load of wood
ain't here by next Saturday you'll know
that Pm dead. If I'm living I'll bring
it myself, or I'll send it, one or to'lher."
alright, I'll send the paper, and take
the wood"
The paper was sent. A week passed,
and no wood came. Another week went
by, and still no wood.
The editor wrote glowing obituary of
his delinquent subscriber. He paid 3
touching eulogy to his manliness and in.
tegrity.
He said that his word was his bond
and that In all his dealings he was relia-
bility and honesty personifed. There
was not degree of praise and exalta-
tion that the editor did not use upon the
subject.
The next morning Editor Cockerill.
looking through the Office window, saw
the corpse" approaching, with fire in
his eye and a copy of the paper in his
hand. The editor suddenly became
busy. The door opened. In walked Mr..
Delinquent
"Say there |" he exclaimed.
The editor turned and stared in amaze
ment. "WhatI" said he. "You alive ?
1 thought you were dead. Let me con-
gratulate you"
"Of course I'm alive. What do you
mean by this Internal article in your pa.
peri"
ooh, thatY" said the editor blandly,
"Thst2 Why you told me that if the
load of wood you promised was not here
in week, you'd be dead, and I took you
for man of your word"
The fire faded out of the delinquent'a
eye, and going closer to the desk he said
"see here, young fellow, its no uae try
ing to get a head of you. will bring
that wood next Monday, if it rains brim
stone and pitchforks."
And for one once in his life he KEEP
his word.-Ex.

The European Plan.

1t is all right to conduct hotel on the
European plan, but we must draw the
line somewhere. We do not want the
European Sunday, nor many other feat
ures of foreign morals, manners and GUS
toms.
1t strikes US that We are rapidly COM
ing to death, as we'll as life, on the Euro
pean plan. fhe stories of the suicides
reported in our news columns would have
excited unbounded horror fifty years ago,
but now they attract little attention. Yet
they are as thoroughly un American as
anything can be. They read like chap.
ters from the daily history of Paris or
Monte Carlo.
Only yesterday we. published au ac-
count Of Memphis tragedy in which an
ex merchant poisoned his two children
and himself, leaving letter in which he
stated that it was nobody's business how
he and his children died Financial
embarrassment WAS the explanation.
1t is inexpressibly horrible when one
thinks it over in the proper frame Of
mind. We have reached a dangerous
point in our progress when life and death
depend upon the state of mans 6nan-
ces. What long days and nights OF
torture this broken down Memphis mer-
chant must have endured | He must
have been prosecuted by creditors as
fierce as wolves, and his fellowmen must
have shown their worst side to him before
he deliberately resolved to carry his two
children with him to confront evils posi-.
bly, worse than chose of this life.
The suicide said that it was nobody e
business how be and his children died.
He was wrong. 1t is somebody's busi-
ness. In this Christian land We cannot
afford to have people take up the idea
that their only way to meet misfortune is
to commit selfnurder. Our population
is noe 80 crowded, competition is not &C
close and poverty is not so general as to
make it necessary for men to rush into
the grave when they fail in business Of
find their pockets empty.
There would be fewer suicides if we
had less of mans inhumsnity to man
1t does not help US to build more churches
unless We have more kind hearts to carry
on the work. We are retrograding tt
the European plan when we lose all in
terest in our fellows, view their suffering
with indifference and Aippantly commen
on their self destruction. We are al
more or less responsible for this epidemic
of suicide. Expensive living, the grew
ing worship of money, and our lack o
genuine sympathy and belpfulness ar'
making this very cold world for th'
man who is on the losing side. And ye
our hs -d-hearted business philosophy il
all folly. People can be good to eacf
other and lose nothing. Such men a.
Abbott Lawrence, Peter Cooper, Georg'
W. Childs and others have shown tha
men can prosper and still follow tht
promptings of their kind hearts. Fill
the world with such men, loving thei
neighbors, and carrying their religion
into their daily walks and the sum o
human misery would be vastly decreased
But if we are going to adopt Europear
ideas of life we must expect to see lifi
held in light esteem, and death vii
become only a jestipg matter.-Atlantt
