left home a penniless pillow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his
way up SO as to sell SO far, nearly 100, 900
Of Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to dishearten him obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary man forever; he
turns to an advertisement and comes out
OF it brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in use everywhere. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell zoe, 700 more Of his
make. That means a business Of 800
000. 900, if we average them at 800 each.
It is already the largest business of the
kind in existence. Read his advertise
ments.

GOOD LOOKS SAVED HER.
A Young Woman with beautiful Hair Had
Peculiar Way of Stealing.

Peculiar Way of Stealing.
A young lady employed by a gold and
silver smith In New York has only her
good looks to thank for the fact that she
was allowed to resign without being
prosecuted for theft. She has an extraor-
dinarily fine head of hair, which she al
lows to hang loosely over her shoulders
and nearly down to her waist. From
time to time it was noticed that the gold
used in the room in which she worked
did not go as far as it ought In making
jewelry and gem settings, and that even
allowing for the filings, which are most
carefully preserved, there was a distinct
leakage. Steps were taken to subject
the employees to a more rigid search,
but no discovery was made until the
young lady with the long hair quar-
relied with her roommate over a love af-
fair, and in a fit Of jealousy her rival
gave away the most interesting story.
The young lady had kept her hair
well creased, and then while at work
would frequently pass her fingers through
it casually, Us though 1t were a matter Of
habit. By the process she accumulated
a good deal of gold dust in her hair and
sometimes dropped some diamond chips
as well. Every night she combed out
her locks with the smallest of tooth
combs, carefully collected the peculiarly
purloined treasure trove and sold it with
out any difficulty. She broke down COM
plstely when taxed with the ~offense,
made restitution as far as she was able,
and her tears and promises were so pro-
fuse that she was then allowed to depart
in peace, although her employers some
what inconsistency took measures to
prevent her obtaining further employ
ment in the business in which she was an
expert.-New York Cor. ST. Louis Globe

FREELAND PIONEERS.
They Have Gone to Find Their Valley of
Eden In the African Wilderness.

They Have Gone to Find Their Valley of
Eden In the African Wilderness.
DIR. Theodor Hertzka's plan to found
an ideal commonwealth in east Africa is
being carried into effect with great ra-
pidity. Late in February the English
members of the pioneer expedition to
Mount Kenia left London for the CONT
nent, and a week ago the pioneer corps
sailed for Mo,nbasa, on the east African
coast. Their ultimate object is to organ
ize a colony in which land and capital
will be free. and everybody will be well
clothed, well fed. well sheltered and well
educated. Their immediate object is to
explore the lard round their so called
valley of Eden, on Tana river. and to Sc
lect and limit EXACTLY the territory which
the colony or commonwealth Of Free
land is to occupy.
DR.. Hertzka has been exceptionally
successful in obtaining powerful patron
age for his ventursonle enterprise. Not
him land and moral support, but the
Austrian authorities have also given the
little band of reformers much encour-
ment and some money. The Royal Mu-
scum of Natural History in Vienna, for
instance, has presented the pioneer ex-
petition with the apparatus and instru-
ments for procuring information and
collections of the fora and fauna Of the
valley of Eden.
The Royal and Imperial Military and
Geographical institute of Vienna, the
South Kensington museum and other So
cieties have also given practical proof of
their interest in the explorations. All
fresh knowledge will be promptly COM
municated to the Royal Geographical
and other societies. Among other things
the Freelanders have set themselves to
do is to institute a regular service Of
small steamboats, from the mouth of the
river Tana to the limit Of navigation,
about $50 miles. and to carry on expert
ments in the domestication of the ele-
plant and zebra.

The opera house was crowded. The cur
tain had gone down hastily in the middle OF
the second act of the musical extravaganza,
and the audience, after a slight buzz of sur
prise and Impotence, sat waiting for 1t to
rise again.
Something had happened.
: A fire had broken out in the property
room.
With the feeble means at their command
the stage attendants tried in vain to ex-
tinguish it.
The flames licked up the combustible ma
terials strewn carelessly o and began
to eat their way upward. Dense volumes
of smoke INSTRUCTED the efforts of the hastl-
ly improvised fire brigade and rose aloft
through the UNEMPLOYED regions back OF the
stage.
The terrible truth could be kept from the
audience only a few seconds longer. The
fire was beyond control. Something must
be done.
Outwardly calm, but with a face whose
CHASTITY paleness Knocked the mechanical
smile it wore, the leading tenor stepped in
front of the curtain.
There are times when the soul OF man,
moved by al intuition whose lightning
fash infinitely transcends the swiftest proc
esses of thought, leaps instantly and unerr-
ingly to the solution of some gigantic prob
lem before whose sudden. awful and inevi-
table front the plodding faculties of reason
stand appalled, and helpless.
In the life of this man the supreme mo
ment had come.
The problem confronted him, and he vas
equal to it.
The building must be emptied with all
speed, but without the dreadful knowledge
that life and death were involved. There
must be no maddened rush of frenzied hui
manity blocking the doors and barring its
own way Of escape.
There was only one thing to be done.
Assuming the easy attitude Of a ~favorite
singer In the act of responding to a second
encore, the leading tenor unfolded a piece
of sheet music and spoke In a low tone to
the leader of the orchestra.
Professor Gibbons" he said, "oblige me
by playing Two Little Girls In Blue. ~
