Won By His Wit.

The persistency of street urchln
who wishes to earn money is sometimes
annoying, but generally eXcusable.
Now and then it becomes amusing and
almost irresistible.
Say, mister, do you want your va
lise carried?" asked such boy, running
after a man whowas hurrying along the
street, evidently bound for the depot.
"No, | DON'T" answered the man, a
little sharply.
''Ill carry it to the depot for dime, :"
persisted the boy.
II tell you 1 don't want it carried"
said the man, quickening his pace.
Don't you?" said the boy, breaking
into a trot to keep abreast of his vic
tim.
''No, don't.' said the man, glancing
fiercely at his small tormentor.
"Well, then, mister" said the urchin,
with an expression of anxious and in
nocent inquiry on his round, dirty face,
''what are you carrying it for? Why
don't you set it DOWN."
In spite of himself, the mans mouth
twitched, and with There, take it,"
he passed the bag over to his persistent
companion, who staggered rapidly
along without another word until the
depot was reached, where he received
the coveted ten cent piece with BEAM
ing smile.-Youth's Companion.

RED CROSS IN CHINA.
Members Fortunately for Themselves Are
Not Allowed to Go to the Front.

A warning to the Red Cross society
comes from China. Three ladies were
sent out to the far east with the idea
of attending on the sick and wounded.
But they have not been allowed to
penetrate to the front, and one of the
Hong Kong papers signifies that it
is a fortunate thing they have no
chance of reaching their destination.
Had they succeeded their fate is not
obscurely limited. THE strange woman
as 'ministering angel has not crossed
the Chinese soldiers mental vision,
even as the possibility of dream. If
she has a place in his mind of many
empty mansions it is certainly not one
to be envied"
A Human brave or Manchu trooper
could neither understand nor act up to
deed of mercy; where one helpless
mortal would bless, ten less helpless
would try to violate and many try to
kill. In these circumstances it may be
hoped that the Red Cross society will
send out no more representatives. to the
far east with the risk of suffering what
is unsympathetically described as use
less martyrdom.

WHERE IS MARTIs

Jacksonville, Fla, June A.
Gonzalez de Quesada, secretary
of the Cuban revolutionists, ar
rived here to-day. He received
a telegram from Benjamin
Guerra, treasurer of the revo
lutionists at New York, as fol-
lows:
"Panchito Gomez cables that
Marti lives. Passengers from
Santiago, including Partuondo's
wife, believe him alive"
Panchito Gomez is a son OF
General Gomez, leader of the
insurrectionists in Cuba, and is
in San Domingo. Portuondo,
who is mentioned, is Marti's
private secretary. Quesada
does not believe that Marti is
dead and has never believed it,
"If he is dead" he says,
"then he has been assassinated,
as he would not have been on
the field of battle. he is the
civil leader, and there are gen
erals enough to lead the fighting
without his doing so. However,
even if lie were dead, it would
make no difference to the cause;
it would go on just the same,
because it is a fight, not ofmen,
but of principles"

one of the prominent institutes

the two women were graduated
was that of 1860, and THE cir
