How An Omaha Girl Manages to
Communicate With the Forbidden
Sweetheart.
A friend of mine out in Omaha has a
daughter, and that daughter has,
among other girlish trinkets, a sweet
heart, who is rendered doubly dear
to her by the fact that her parents
have forbidden her to see him, says the
Washington Post. He is, to be sure,
q yry commonplace person, but no
girl can resist q man her parents have
forbidden her to see, you know. This
particular girl is in Washington now,
for safe-keeping in a priv ate school,
where incoming and outgoing letters
are read by a stern faced teacher. /
went to see her the other day just af-
ter tue mail was in. She had re-
ceived letter from schoolgirl friend
in Omaha, and there wasn't noun or
pronoan of the masc uline gender in
the whole of it. The girl read it de-
murely, and showed it to me. Then
we went to her room. The door was
no sooner closed than she flew to her
curling tongs, heated them, held them
close to the written sheet, and read
with delight the yellow letters in a
masculine hand which appeared be-
tween the lines, and faded again as
| the paper cooled. The moral of this
! is that love will find way, and SO
long as chloride of copper in solution
is to be had, | advise every keeper of
o girls school to toast all letters well
before she delivers them.

much chance when she engages In a
hand-to-hand conflict with a grizzly
BEAR said Michael Ayers, a Colorado
stockman to a writer for Dumb AMI
mails, "but several years ago one OF
my cows killed one OF these animals
and came out of the struggle without
scratch. The cow had recently given
birth to calf. 1t being her first-born,
the mother was exceedingly vicious,
and 1t was unsafe for a stranger to
approach her, as her horns were long
and pointed. The cattle shed had n
matched roof and was scooped out of
the hillside short distance from the
house. One night a bear, having smelt
the presence of COW and calf mount
ed the roof OF the shed and proceeded
to force an entrance by scratching
through the thatch. The COW at the
same time detected the presence Of the
bear, and held herself in readiness to
receive the intruder. The noise of a
terrible struggle aroused me, and
grabbing a lantern / rushed from the
house, and opening the shed door
found the COW in frantic state, but
ting and tossing to and fro some
large object, which evidently had lost
all power of resistance. 1t turned out
to be good sized grizzly, which had
been run through and through the
body by the courageous mother. The
little calf was nestled In a corner,
sleeping peacefully, and seemed un-
mindful of the maternal struggle. /

gained an entrance through The roof
1t was pinned to the ground by the
cows horns before it had time to do
any damage"

The young man who thinks he is GO

1t happened some time ago in GER
tain college, that the dormitories of
both the young lady and gentlemen
students opened into the same hall,
says the indianapolis Sentinel. One
evening near midnight one of the girls
who had slipped out of her room to
enjoy. a secret chat with one of the
other girls, was hurrying to her room
and in the dark mistook the room, en-
tering the room of one of the boys by
mistake He was standing by the
gas jet, having just turned out the
light, and when had found the match
which she carried in her pocket and
started to light the gas she stumbled
against him. OF course she screamed
and started for the door; but he was
too quick for her, and holding her for
a moment actually bit her cheek, in

with the usual instruments of an or
chesira, with the addition of mandolins
and guitars, and few instruments seen
only among the Spaniards. Their cos
tunes were varied and gorgeous enough
to have made Morgiana claim them
as her own. Behind the band lot of
boys carried O life-sized image of the
Savior, the image being supposed to
represent him after the forty days Of
fasting, the cheeks being sunken and
each rib prominent; but the artist had

1t was really a sight for the eyes Of
this degenerate civilization, the magnifi-
cent specimen of a man who strode up
State street just before 6 o'clock in the
evening with q look and swing that
clearly showed he was bound toward
home after a days hard work. A six
foOter and more, with broad chest and
magnificent shoulders, swinging arms,
a cane grasped in the middle and held
as lightly as a feather, erect head, and
military stride combined to make
figure worth looking at twice, and many
persons did look more than once, es-
pecially after the young man passed
Adams street.
1t was cold. The air was called
''bracing" by athletes, but most men
had coat collars turned up, so the beg
gar who stood against the wall looked
forlorn enough to match his story. He
was young and only fairly badly clad.
His clothes were good, but clearly in
sufficient, and his nose and eyes were
Watery as the wind searched and found
him. One glance and he marked the
Apollo for his game. His lips could be
seen moving as he walked out beside
the striding giant and endeayored to
keep up with the pace as he told the
story which was to draw coin from the
others pocket. The contrast between
the men was so great that many stop
ped to look after them. The home
ward bound man seemingly Indifferent
to his comparatively Insignificant sha-
dow, who all the time was walking as
for a prize and talking as he would
to keep out of Jail. The pace was kill
ing the beggar, and before Quincy street
was passed he showed signs of wear
and tear. He stuck to his task with
desperation, though he got no encour-
agement until near to Jackson, when,
as he was beginning to fall behind, he
made one last rally and squirt and a
final appeal:
Say, boss, don't know what the
stake is or who you're walkin' against,
but you're dead sure winner, and 1
think you ought to give me a quarter
for pacing you this last block, sure"
He got it.

CANALS of THE FUTURE.

They Will BE Large Enough for the
Rapid Handling OF q Heavy Bust
ness.
The history of the struggle between
canals of small dimensions and of rail-
roads has been the same In all coun-
tries. The fight ragged bitterly for a
number of years; the canals acting on
the defensive, although they had as
allies the states under whose patron
age they were built and operated.
The result has been the same in all
cases, the unconditional surrender, of
the canals to the railroads. This,
however, is not so much the fault of
the system as of the nanagement.
The railroads have great advantages
over canals. They are better able to
abridge distances both by reason OF
superior speed and of facilities for
overcoming elevations, spanning
streams, free from danger Of destruc-
tive foods and piercing through the
highest mountains; but their great sue
cess Is mainly due to the fact that
they have kept pace with the progress
Of the world.
Waterways built frcm the beginning
of the eighteenth century to the first,
quarter OF the nineteenth century were
regarded ample to meet the require
ments Of trade at the time they were
constructed, and there was in many in,
stances a progressive Improvement in
their dimensions and appIrtenanees.
But while the Industrial, agricultural,
and commercial development of the
world have advanced to proportions
not. dreamed of century ago, canals
have remained stationary. They are
now obsolete, and can no longer full
fill the requirements of cheap transpofs
tation in competition with railroadz.
The canals of the future must have
the dimensions and the facilities fog
rapid transportation to adapt them 20
the new conditions of commerce. They
must not be barge or boat canals, but
ample waterways for the free passage
Of such ships as are now engaged I'm
carrying the worlds trade OF such
canals we have now some important
types in operation, and others in pro-
gress of construction or in compile
tion.-Chautauquan.

MONEY MAKING.
The Quickest Way to Pile Up Wealth
in This business Era.

The Quickest Way to Pile Up Wealth
In This Business Era.
The reason of the modern difference
In favor of business as an instrument
OF money-malSing is not far to seek.
1t is the enormous growth in the scale
OF everything in which business can be
done. The enterprise of merchant
OF a contractor, of a mine dealer, even
of a shopkeeper, may now cover the
whole world, and may be carried on,
moreover, mainly upon credit. 1T may
be doubted whether, except in those
transactions which are called ''tinan-
cial," and which really mean the taking
of heavy brihes for pecuniary support,
any one transaction ever yields quite
as much as the same transaction would
have yielded sixty years ago; whether,
for example, any cargo ever produces
ton for ton an equal margin of profit;
or whether any customer in a shop pays
quite so heavy a percentage on the
goods he buys.
1t is the magnitude and multiplication
of cargoes which yield fortunes: the
thousands, instead of hundreds, of Gus
toners whom clever dealers may in
duce to spend money. The new system
of rapid turnover is, of course, pre-
ciSely the same thing-the dealer selling
four times what he did, and using only
the same capital. This advantage of
scale is almost entirely wanting to the
professional man, for the obvious real
son that he is hampered by limitations
of time.
There are only six hundred minutes
in hard worked day, and the seeker
after income, be he as able as he may,
or as decided, or as rapid, must give
some of those minutes to each client
or patient or contractor with a diff
Guilty to meet. If he does not, he loses
custom, and with custom income rapid
ly slips away. There are no doubt, ia
vOrite lawyers, doctors and even engin-
eers. whose advice is sought at great
expense, when equally good advice is
procurable much cheaper; but STILL the
favorites must give their advice, and
lose their day in doing 1t, or they will
speedily be deserted.
Nothing can alter this first law, while
the SxaggeratiOn of professional fees
is kept down, in the case of solicitors,
by positive statute. in that of doctors
by an etiquette difficult to define or
explain-there seems to be no reason
why a great physician should not
charge according to skilE-and in that
OF barristers and engineers, by COM
petition, which, though never acknowl-
edged, is none the less real and effec-
tive We cannot see what is to alter
this condition of affairs, and do not be-
ieye that. however civilization may de-
velop itself. professional skill will ever

her wrath knew no bounds; and when
she finally reached her room she called
an indignation meeting Of the other

fellow had presumed to do She could
never face him again, and was not

then, of course, he would know who

to help her out of the difficulty. They
