The story of a Suicide.

remember being called year or two
ago, in my capacity as police reporter,
to a tenement on the west side think
it was in West Thirty-seventh street.
where painter had that day cut his
throat Standing there by the corpse |
learned from the sobbing widow that
the man was desperate for want of work.
He had been on the streets for weeks,
and his children were starving. 1t hap
pened that had been for just the same
length of time looking for man to paint
my house out in the country, where
painters were scarce and very busy.
had just made up my mind to advertise
that day. There lay this painter dead
because he could find no one to give him
work, while would have been glad to
pay him more than the wages of his
trade to get him to work for me.
Had there been any means of bring
ing us together to which we would both
naturally have resorted, he would have
been alive and his family self support
ing. Now it seemed certain to become
a burden upon the public.

sort by very many l had come across

Women Office Seekers.

The women who apply for places are
very hard to get rid of. When Informed
that there is no vacancy they usually
say, THE secretary can always make
one more place" Many of them make
most humble and pathetic appeals, say
ing, For PHYS sake, let me scrub the
floors or do anything by which | may
earn my bread" Yet these same indi-
viduals. after securing situations and
occupying them for two or three days,
are pretty sure to demand three things
promotion. leave of absence and light
er work. Women can never be con-
WINGED that there is any sincerity in the
civil service law. They almost always
think that they can get around it and
secure places in the classified service
through influence. - Washington Cor

Have yOu ever been haunted by an ad-
vertisement:
l have asked lots Of people that ques-
ton and they nearly all tell me that
they have undergone such an experience
at one time or another.
The particular lad" that haunts me is,
one containing the picture of a mans
face. a very insipid face it is, too, with
an absolutely perfect black mustache
attached to it. 1t has a grewsome effect,
too, as there is no neck visibly attached
to the head. and | have often wondered
ii it would be possible to cut mans
head off SO that none of the neck would
he left on.
This face persists in getting in front
of me and staring at me with those
meek eyes. No matter which end of an
elevated car go in just as soon as | am
comfortably seated in seat can feel
that face looking at me; and sure
enough there it always is-above the
windows directly across the car. II
open the advertising pages of a maya
zine that face will be the first thing to
meet my eye. On the street am always
seeing it on the billboards or some adj
vertising dodger.
You may say that this is all v'Iy
easily explained by the fact of the ud
vertisement being very common ORE
that everybody would be running
against. On the contrary it is rather Of
an uncommon one, but wherever it is
am sure to find it. / don't know what
the article is the face advertises, and
don't want to. | only want to be freed
from the nightmare of that mask. New

Placer's Big Cherry Trees.

In some remote age the deep, whirling
waters of the American river at Monte
Rio washed out the rock layers of long
previous geological formation to the
depth of probably 200 feet or more, and
this excavation being filled to half its
depth by alluvial material from the
sides of adjacent hills, formed deposit
over sixty feet deep and some ten or
twelve acres i'll present area.
The waters of the American now form
only small stream, the alluvial deposit
that has made the giant cherry tire,
growth being ten or dozen feet higher
than the usual current of the deep river
channel. The soil of Hector's cherry
orchard has been bored to over sixty
feet i'll depth without touching bed rock
or rock of any kind, the alluvial quality
continuing to this great depth. On
about four acres Of this soil black Tar
tartan cherry trees We're set i'll 1862 or
1868 by ancestral relatives of the pres
ent owner, several smaller orchards or
additions having been planted since.
There are $50 large trees that yield IL
boxes, or 400 pounds each, in alternate
years. The trees are kept trimmed Of
all dead wood and lime washed every
season, and are still making vigorous and
healthy growth. The tallest tree is 90
feet high, with head from 80 TO SO feet
in width, and over a score more of the
$50 large trees are from 40 to 80 feet tall,
with corresponding width of top growth
so that the excess in height of the taliest
tree is not very conspicuous.-COuntry

THE PRINTER-BOY'S DREAM

On rickety stool, by rickety door
OF the editors room i'll the upper floor,
In the inner sanCtum of pen and shears,
Sat printers boy of uncertain years,
Waiting for copy; and all was still
Save the raspiug scratch of. a rapid quill.
The Carriers Address was being born
In the old time verse for the New Years
morn;
And the editor wrote like a man inspired,
But the hour was late and the boy was
tired.
Congressional Records, in binding grim,
And Patent Reports looked down on him
Plump volumes revealing the nations
health,
And of books the EDITORS only wealth.
Large files of papers, dusty and old,
In unswepted corners quietly told
That his paper was somewhat thing of
dates,
While the Plums were preserved for hap
pier fates.
But the book, and the files and the edit
or gray,
To the drowsy boy were fading away.
And the narrow room seemed gallery
grand
With rich wrought carvings on every
hand;
Beautiful volumes quaint and old,
Yellow vellums with clasp of gold,
Arranged in ebony cases rare,
Greeted his vision everywhere;
And he noted-the books in tens were
placed,
And a hundred volumes each alcove
graced;
Eighteen were closed with brazen bar
But the Nineteenth alcove was still aar;
No parchment here; the books were new;
And the last was registered Ninety.two;
While boy in features resembling lin,
Not ragged and solid, but neat and trim,
Near the lower shelf, he seems to see
Placing another market Ninety three;
And all angle sat in a golden chair
Writing in characters bright and fair
With noiseless pen; and the volume bore
On the clear white margin Ninety four
But the vision vanished with-'Johnny
come
This to the foreman and then go home
Wait, one line more-a merry cheer
To each and all blithe New Yearw
Gone where the alcoves with carving old,
And volumes rich with clasps of gold;
The Patent Reports came back again,
Withwhitewashed wall and the dingy den:
And the angel that sits in glory there
Was the editor gray in his old armchair.

How Ladies of India Wear Bangles.

Glass bangles in India are regarded
as sacred objects. If glass bangle be
accidentally broken, its pieces must be
gathered together and kissed three
times. Every Hindoo woman wears
these ornaments until her husband dies,
when she breaks them with a brick OF
stone and substitutes for them gold OF
silver ones, a sign in north India that
the wearer is either a widow or less
estimable woman. The demand for
glass bangles is never failing. They
are manufactured in abundance in the
northwestern provinces as well as in the
Punjaub. York Press

THE PANAMA SCANDAL.

PARIS Jan. 12-In connection with The
statements Of NJ Charles de l.csseps at his
trial i'll the court of appeals, attention has
been called to the statements of NJ Provost

the Panama committee in relation to NJ.
Charles de Lesseps, NJ de Launay said:
"A few years ago a gentleman called on

taial all alone. For the Panama canal he
has been obliged to have recourse to the

Their Engine Is Freshly Slaughtered
Cow Dragged oycr tho Line of Flame.
Whoever heard Of killing horse or
an OK as the first step to be taken toward
putting out prairie fret What dweller
in the Dakotas has not heard of it2 For
it is frequently done by the settlers Of
the new northwest, where prairie fires
are greatly dreaded menace to life and
property.
Every dweller Of the great northwest
h more or less familiar with prairie fires.
They have often at nightfall seen their
lurid lights in the distant horizon. or by
day their hugo volumes of smoke rising
and bending with the clouds, and many
are even familiar with the consuming
march of the flames themselves. Prob
ably the first intimation the settler re-
ceiyes Of an approaching fire comes from
the falling of burned particles of grass
that have been carried long distances by
strong air currents
Later ON smoke may be seen on the
distant horizon, which increases in vol
ume and biackness until the whole sky
may be darkened, or if the night be
coming on the flames will light up the
whole landscape and their glow will be
reflected above. The wise Dakotan has
his farm or ranch protected by fire.
breaks. These are usually made by
plowing two strips q few burrows wide
and several rods apart and burning the
grass between.
There Is but little likelihood of put
ting out a Dakota prairie fire during the
day, as the wind, which is almost in
variably blowing, and which the fire
seems to greatly increase in force, never
lulls until the coming of night. Then,
though thers is no dewfall in that re-
gion, the fire burns less fiercely and may
be at times entirely extinguished. The
most successful method Of putting out
fire, and one frequently employed, is
to kill horse or COW and, splitting the
carcass, drag it along the fire line and
over the flames, which are thus ex-
tinguished.
This is done by attaching long wire
ropes TO two limbs of the carcass, to
each of which is hitched horse, on
which is an experienced rider One of
these horsemen rides on either side of
the line Of fire, and by skillful refining
they draw the body of the dead animal
directly over the flames. Sometimes a
fresh hide, weighted down with pieces
of iron fastened to it, is used instead of
the carcass Of an animal. BY this method
a line Of fire twenty miles in length may
be extinguished in one night. Men on
foot usually follow after tho horsemen
and put out any fire that may remain
after they have passed.
Tho scene presented by such com
pany of fire fighters is extremely weird
and one which beholder is not likely
to forget. Fortunate it is il thoce In.
terested complete their work before the
coming Of dawn, for if they do not the
rising of the wind may send the fire
leaping over the area Of country they
have labored to save, and blackened
plains and smoldering heaps that mark
the sites Of former ranches and home
steads will tell the oft told story of the
Dakota prairie fire.-Chicago Herald
