Parable Of the Delinquent Subscriber.


And certain man. who was with
out guile, patient, long suffering
and full of meekness went down
into far country to start news
paper.
And divers publicans and sim
ners, beholding him, said one TO
another: Behold now man with
out guile, greenhorn from way
back and sucker from the borders
of Kansas. Of a surety now we
have a soft snap and we will make
the gentle exceeding weary.
Wherefore, they went upon the
sanctum of the man without guile,
even the newspaper man, and said
unto him:
Lo! Now we will take thy paper
and we will pay thee thus: In wood
of oak, and of hickory, and of cot
tonwood, in butter and chickens
and hen fruit.
And the editor said: 1t is well,
and went apart and covered his

face with his mantel and wcpt for
Joy. And he lifted his voice and
said: Oh, Lord. thank thee, thou
hast led me beside still waters and
caused me to lie down in these
green pastures.
And it came to pass that the
weather waXed cold. and the editor
would fain have warmed himself by
the wood of the oak, or hickory, or
cottonwood. Also he would fam
have partaken of the hen fruit and
butter.
But when he said to the publicans
and sinners. do now as We prom
ised," behold, they laughed him to
scoru and said unto him: Rats!
Come of! and give us rest! Be
iold. thou inakest us exceedingly
ired!
And the editors spirit waxed
.aint, and he died, and was taken up
INTO Abraham's bosom.
And in the fullness of time the
publicans and sinners died also and
it was not so that they could go to
Abraham's bosom-not by an ex-
ceedingly long shot---Rpt-rie ndls-
from the nethermost pit enyironed
them and hauled them to place Ct
torment.
Aud whcn they cried out because
the therniom tier was passing high,
then would the tiends mock them
saying: Rats! Come of! Give us a
rest! Behold, now, thou mallest us
exceedingly tired.
Wherefore. brethren, let us arise
and fetch wood unto the printer,
lest we be even az the publicans
and sinners. Behold, the winter
cometh when no man can haul
wood.

MRS. Zeii.i NiCOLAUS.

She Arrives In Ondon and Makes q Sig
nificant Remark Concsrni * George
G0uld.
LONDON, Dec. N.-Mrs leila Nico-
laus, who gained considerable notorietv
in New y ork recently by bringing suit
against George Gould. the millionaire,
for $40, 200. is in London. With her is
the man "Ruhman." who figured in the
case as her guardian. The pair came
by the steamship Lain, which locked
at Southampton early this morning.
Ruhman was known on the steamer as
Harris" and Mrs Nicolaus as miss
Graham" They were recognized at
Southampton as answering the descr p
ton OF HUFFMAN and leila Nicolaus,
which has been cabled over from New
York. and when confronted with their
identity admitted it.
On the way to London Mrs Nicolaus
talked with great freedom OF hers II
and suit against Mr.. Gould. She de-
clared in the most positive terms that
the mysterious check for $4,000, Tor
abstracting which she sued Mr. Gould,
was not given her by Howard Could
the younger brother.
The most striking part OF Mrs.
Nicolaus statement was this:
IL know more about Mr.. Gould's at
fairs than his wife Edith. ought to
have some of his millions
When asked to ext lin these state
ments the woman merely repeated
them, declining on the advice OF her
companion to say more Ruhman said
he and Mrs Nicolaus woull remain n
London for we.k or two and then
leave for an extended tour of the conti-
nent.

The Antiquity of the Lark.

The very first thought suggested by a
study of the migration of birds is one Of
time. In tracing the migratory habit to
its origin we find the history reaching
back to the times previous to man, and
we begin to realize how ancient is the
aristocracy of the air The lark did not
come over with William the Conqueror,
but his armorial bearing, if he thought it
worth while to have any, would antedate
those OF every noble family in Great
Britain. Mrs. j. B. Southworth in AL

Two BRIGHT Minds In Collision.

The following story in The Christisl
Leadcf, told of Hosea Eallou by his son,
the late Rev. Iasscna Ballou, shows ho,a
q wise driver VIII regulate his speed by
the quality Of his horse:
Father and son were in the same ve-
hicle, bound for religious meeting to
be held at some distance from their
home, at the time in Barnard, vt. The
father was apparently in no hurry and
permitted the horse to move on at an
easy trot
The son, growing fearful lest the place
Of meeting would not be reached in sea-
son, said to his father in somewhat
anxious tone, "Fathor, do you think we
shall get there in season."
The answer was. "Yes, Massena, if we
don't hurry"
The son saw the point" Only so
much could be got out of the horse. H
at the outset he was forced, his vitality
being exhausted lie would be compelled
"to slow down" at the other end of the
route, and this might be fatal to the
Journeys purpose. By permitting him
to fall back upon his natural strength
he would be as vigorous at the finish as
at the start, and his natural strength was
equal to the occasion.
The result proved the wisdom of the
remark,
