 6 bad way in Francs. according to a num- ber of experts who have been figuring on the situation. It is said by N. Albert Cim, and corroborated by other experts, that there gre scarcely six novelists in Francs who can count on receiving equal to CT about 10000 francs a year for their literary work. An examination of the books of prominent publisher in Paris showed that two thirds of the accounts opened for works of fiction, verse, travel, domestic economy, and military science showed considerable losses.

 The United States haven't made much by their speculation in silver. Under the laws of 1878 and 1890 the purchases amounted to 459 948. 7O1 ounces at an sv- craze of $1 0093 per ounce, and the sggre- gate cost was $464 ,210, ,262. At 63i cents psr ounce the silver bought under the act of 1878 would bring $1S4, ,957.731, to which must be added $107, 10S, ,423 for the value of purchases under the act of 1890, a total of $2S2. .066, 155.

A Presentimeut or oeath.


 Andrew Jackson, sergeant st Armeof the Ohio house of representatives, relates an incident of presentiment of death which came under his own observation. He ssys: "When the war broke out I was clsrking in a store over In Greene county. Charley Shsarsr, BOW one of our ciscuIt judges. xAs employed in the same store. His brother Frank and I were of nearly the same age. One day 1 went across the street and enlistsd. was only sixteen years old at the time, but was sworn in. Frank Shearer also enlisted and we went out together. He and were mess mates and chums. A finer boy never lived. We went through the hard campaigning of General Sherman and ware with him in the Atlanta campaign. Just the day be- fore the battle of Rssscs Frank came to me and said, Andy, I am going to be killed tomorrow. know that I will be shot early in the fight laughed at his fears, but he said he was telling the truth finally became convinced myself that he may have had a premonition and impor- tuned him not to go into the battle. He said 1t would not do for him to get 6 sick

I finally got his con sent to let me go to the heutenaut-coloael and get him detailed for headquarters work during the coming engagement l did SO, being frank with the colonel and telling him everything. He at once grant ed the request and wrote out the desired ozder. gave it to Frank that night and thought he was safe.
 ''The next morning, however, he refused to obey, and insisted that if he failed to go into battle with the rest of us the boys would question his bravery. We went into the engagement and Frank fell dead at the first volley from the enemy. placed his body in 6 secure place and that night went to an old barn and tore of enough siding to make him a rough cof- fu. We dug a grave and buried him. I carved & rude head board out of 6 piece of sidipg and cut his name, age and regiment upon it.

THE ASSESSORS, TOM 6

THE ASSEsSORS' TOMB.
 There is no doubt that the assessors of the town need more elbow room. They also need bigger allowance of air space. There are probably no city, town or county officials in the State who have @ more in- adequate and uncomfortable place to work in. There is probably no place in the state where public business Is done that is more inconvenient for the public, Some change should and must be made. It is not decent for the assessors of the town of New Haven to have to work in place that would be condemned by factory inspsc- tor. and If people must be assessed 1t is not right that their communications with the assessors should be made in . tomb. The ordeal of being assessed Is painful enough in itself. It should not have added to it in any case the gloom of . visit to such @ chamber as that inhabited by the assessors.
 Two plans are proposed in order to give tte assessors room to all move at once and to have their legal amount of air space. One involves serious disagreement and changing of the already serious disfgured and changed City Hall. This plan is charged to the mayor. By it the building would bs injured, the hallway still further darkened, convenient arrangements abol- ished and much money spent. The other plan is not charged to anybody in psrticu- lar, but has been arrived at by a consensus of opinion on the part of several compe- tent ones who have carefully studied the situation. This plan provides for the building of an inexpensive and srchitec- turally harmonious addition to the City Hall, adjoining the assessors tomb, on the south side. In this way large room could be had which would bs completely lighted, thoroughly convenient for both the as- eessors and the pablic, and in every way suitable for the work which would be done in 1t.
 A committee has beea appointed to con. sider this important and imperative mat ter. It is not probable that the committee will make the mistake of still further butcheripg the City Hall. Both the town and the city should do the best they can for both the mayor and the assessors. They are all honorable men. The mayor shouldn't be tucked off up in the garret and the assessors shouldn't bs compelled to spend their working hours in tomb.

LOVE, LOYALTY AND LUCK.

LOVE, LOYALTY AND LUCK.
 Ye who think that there is no true love in the world, that good luck never comes when it Is most needed, and that promises are only made to be broken, come listen to the story of A. B. Dixon, of Burlington, Kansas.
 Many years ago when Dixon was young man hs loved a young woman. She loved him, but she was wanted in heaven, and SO had to leave him. When she was dying her thoughts were upon the lover she was going swsy from, and she did her best for him. She made her father promise to place the name of her afianced in his will wherever hers would have been placed had she lived to inherit her fathers prop promise to his dying daughter as she was to her lover, and he made his will ss she desired him to. Dixon knew nothing about al! this. Finding the world lonely place without his beloved he married . woman who promised to love, honor and obey him. She didn't keep her promise very thoroughly. She left him some years ago, and he got along ths best way he l could. For the last few years he has been | living at 8 poor dying rate by selling | flowers on the streets of Burlington, occ a. sionally. let us hope. thinking tenderly of the fair flower of womsnhood who left him long ago to bloom in eternal beauty in Paradise. The other day, | when he was most keenly conscious of his poor estate. and anxtously wondering how he was going to be able to contend with an old age of penury, @ message was brought to h;m that calmed his anxiety, gave him solid comfort and made him realize that though his wife might net love him he had been truly loved. The message was that $sO, COG was waiting for him, it being the provision made for him by the will oi the father of the young woman who loved and left him many years ago.
 This is most pleasing story of love loyalty and timely luck. It encourages faith in human and in woman nature, ani in the nature of things, ard 1t gives pes simism pause. Itis also cheering to b. able to add that when the wife who hat
 deserted Dixon heard of what had hap
 pened to him she concluded that she woult
 forgive him and love him and she invite,
 him to come and live with her. She kne,
 he couldn't take care of the money as vel
 ss she could and che was willing to sacrl Ace herself to help him. But he is as ger erous as she is, and has decided that b : will not allow her to devote the rest of he
 life to the care of his money.
