A BEAUTIFUL LIAR.

Harold Wyune walked his library floor
with irritnted and emphatic steps. His
brows were drawn together by frown
that looked like Ill temper, but may have
been perplexity and his lips were set in
straight line that showed the possession Of
a will, determined and self roliant--a
handsome man, well groomed, no longer
young but in that golden prime where the
nlort soul knows its own value
"Ethel has told me another falsehood,"
he said in cold, even tones, addressing his
nephew, Ralph Meadows, who sat in a
window retreat reading up some problem
In civil engineering and who laughed sud-
denly, as If the subject impressed him hu-
morously instead of shocking him, as his
uncle expected.
Poor Etheli" he said. 1T don't bc-
lievo it is In that child TO speak the truth"
"Childi" His uncle WINGED There was
too forced contrast presented to his i'm.
agination by the term "You forget,
Ralph, that Ethel is 1s-quite old enough
to have some idea OF moral responsibility"
"True, uncle," answered Ralph, with
yawn, "but should as soon expect to find
a kitten with a conscience. Sho has never
been allowed to think or act for herself,
but has always been a puppet in others
hands,
"You undervalue her," said his uncle
sharply.
"No; only do not expect too much OF
her. Sho has beautiful character, but
her moral nature has been perverted
through foar."
Lying is such contemplate thing"
said Mr.. Wynne severely.
$50 is gambling. Yet have heard you
say that you believed you were born with
a passion for gambling, and you have
needed help to save you from yourself
Still you have no mercy for another sin
ner.'
Harold wynne looked at his presumptu-
Gus young relative in astonishment Could
this be the thoughtless youth who had
Lived under his roof, looking up to him as
to a father, and who was now constituting
himself judge and jury to arraign and
condemn
Before he could speak the door opened
and Ethel herself entered, beautiful liar
indeed, her large, guileloss blue eyes wide
and wondering with Innocent curiosity.
''There she is to speak for herself, " said
Mr.. Wynne. "Ethel, did you not tell me
you were at home last night all tho evon-
ingp'
Ethel looked anxiously from the face of
the uncle to that of the nephew; but, SEQ
ing no help in either, she answered sweetly:

Ralph Meadows was convulsed with
suppressed merriment but Mr.. Wynne
saw nothing amusing in the occasion, as
Ethel, with a stately pose and dramatic
gestures, recited the lines:

Coke Workers. rrouhl...

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Sept. 17.-The conven-
tion at Scottsdale yesterday declaring for
a general strike in the coke region has
given the men great encouragement. Re-
ports from all parts Of the region are to the
effect that the men are perfccting their Or
ganization, and henceforth will act in
unison. The strike, which is expected to
start ut any time, will undoubtedly spread
throughout the whole region without do
lay. Tho large meeting of the Lemont Ss
Stuart men, in Cold Springs, decided
unanimously in favor of strike. This is
but a reflex OF the sentiment in the other
parts of the region

NEW JERSEY JUDICIARY.
Judge Magic Decides That the Election
Act Is Constitutional.

ouuEo hhBie Decfues Ihht tine Eiection
Act Is Constitutional.
TRENTON Sept. 17.-Judge Magic, of the
supreme court, filed a dissenting opinion,
In which he upholds the constitutionality
of the elective judiciary. He maintains
that the constitutional provision which
empowers the legislature to alter or abol-
ish the court of common pleas is not re-
strained or limited by any other clauses
of the constitution. The clause empow-
ering the legislature to alter or abolish
is specific, and the other clauses must be
construed to give this clause full force and
effect
Judge Magic points out that in 1855
when the constitutional powers to appoint
judges of the court of common pleas was
then vested In joint meeting the legisla-
ture passed an act making the judges of
the supreme court, who were appointed by
the governor, members eK-officio of the
court Of common pleas. This was an al
tering of the court of common pleas, the
constitutionality of which has never been
questioned. Judge Magic concludes his
opinion by saying that tho writ of man
damus to restrain the county clerk of Es-
sex county for printing on the local ballots
the names of judges elected under the
elective Judiciary act should have been de-

Snakes have their usefulness in tho
world. They arc the scavengers of swamps
and morasses where other animals OF size
are unable to penetrate or to exist. 1t is
in the tropics, of course, that serpents
chiefly abound. All snakes arc of tropical
origin, but some species have spread into
cooler latitudos. In very cold countries
there are no snakes Contrary to the pop
ular belief, There arc some snakes in Ire
land, but they are very rare. The smallest
serpents In the world are the tworm
snakes" of the tropics. They are about rs
big as fair sized earthworns. Some
snakes lay eggs, while others bring forth
their young alive. In the latter category
are yipers, rattlcsnaixes and nearly all wa
ter snakes. Pythons incubate their eggs
aftor laying them. New York World
