USEFUL ALARM CLOCK,
1t Helped a Young Man to Say Good
Night.

III deIpeO q 1Oung Man to Say Good
Night.
From the New York Sun.
A young man stood in the po-tico of an
apartment house in Washington Park,
Brooklyn, the other evening and on the
step above him stood pretty girl It was
late and the street was deserted Despite
the darkness it was apparent to the oc-
casional paSserby that the young man had
the daintily gloved right hand of the young
woman within his own, while his left hand
rested over it like a cover to keep it guard
ed. The young man was apparently trying
to say goodnight and the young woman
evidently could not hear him, for she was
bending her head close to his. They stood
in that attitude for nearly fifteen minutes
and might have been discovered in the
same pose by the gray dawn of the morn
ing had not something interviewed.
That something was round and bright, and
1t came out of a SiXth-Story window. 1t
descended slowly, the moonlight simmer
ing on its Silvery surface and making it
conspicuous. Soon it could be seen that it
was string and was being lowered by
an elderly woman. When it dangled over
the portico there was sudden bur-r-r-r-r
r-r-r-r-ring and the young man and young
woman parted like an overStrained hawSer.
The young man seized the round and bright
object, which was still ringing, and held
its face to the electric light. The hands on
the alarm clock We're claSped at midnight.
He raised his hat to the young woman,
murmured two words in a low tone and dis
appeared. The alarm clock was hoiSted up
quickly, but the young woman was upstairs
before it finally reached the open window.

A JAPANESE STORY.
Told by Native of Japan to an Audi-
ence in Rochester.

ence in Rochester.
From the Post-Express.
At Y. NJ C. A. hall yesterday afternoon.
Yeataso Okano. a japanese, told the fol-
lowing story to a large audience:
''Once upon time there lived in a little
hamlet in Japan a young couple. They had
one child. beautiful little girl, whom both
loved very dearly. 1t came to pass while
the child was still a baby girl that the
father was obliged to take long journey
to the far-distant city. 1t was too far fer
him to take his wife and child. so he left
them at home ard travelled alone.
In that great city he saw many new
things which, having lived in the peaceful
little hamlet up among the mountains all
his life, he had never seen before He de-
sired to take home to his wife some OF
these new things which seemed to him so
wonderful And the most wonderful gift
he could take, it seemed to MIN, was a
mirror. He wished to take home to his
wife the pleasure and surprise he had ex-
perienced when he first looked into mir
ror. So he took one home to his wife.
when he arrived home he gave the
present TO his wife, and for the first time
she looked into mirror. What do you
seee her husband asked. She replied: I
declare. l see a very pretty woman. she
wears her hair just as do mine, and she
talking to me- Her husband told her that
the mirror was present for her and he
hoped she would use it every day. But the
wife thought 1t far too beautiful and rare
and costly a gift to use every day; so she
put it carefully away and never spoke
about it to the little daughter, who grew
more beautiful and more like her mother,
every day
by and by a great misfortune fell upon
that little household. The wife and mother
fell sick and it was soon evident that she
must die AS she lay upon her deathbed
she called her little daughter to her and
told her that she was going to lose her
mother forever. She could point to no
future life after death, in which they
should be reunited. But in the love ana
simplicity of her heart she did the BEST
she could she told her little daughter ABOUT
the wonderful mirror. After l am dead,
she said. take down that box and look into
the mirror that it contains. There you VIII
see nv face. And l want you to look INTO
the mirror every day, that you may never
forget your mother and that you may
grow like me- more and more, every day.
$50 the mother died. The little girl dlq
as she had been told and in the wonderful
mirror she thought she saw her mothers
face. youl,f, and beautiful, not as she had
seen her, pale and i'll as she lay dying, but
fair and fresh as she had looked before
the fatal illness. And the little girl LOOK.
ed into the mirror every day. and thougnS
of her mother and her many lovely ways
and so it came about that she grew TO DC
more ard more like her mother as the
ynars went BY"

The item OF $4,000 due the town Of
Eagle River from Villas county. was fin
ally levied by the county board, AID the
amount will bepaced in the tax roll and
become a part of the county tax. The
indebtedness arose i'll this way. Inst
spring the delinquent roll turned over
TO the county treasurer by Town
Treasurer Morey was in excess Of The
amount due the county from the town.
In other words, town tax of nearly
$4,000 was not, andcould not. be collect
ca Dy the town treasurer last winter
and as required by statute this amount
OF town tolls was returned to the county
treasurer, being part of the delinquent
roll. The County treasurer, as is re-
CURED by law to do, proceeded to adyer
tlse and sell these lands for taxes. At
the sale there was but a few bidders,
and as result the certificates were sold
to the county with out, of course any
cash being realized on them. The cues
ton then arose, where is the town
OF Eagle River to receive her $4,000
IN town town tax, or when does it be-
come due from the county? The statute
provides that when the county treasurer
collects this i'll the delinquent roll, (The
excess being the amount due the town.
ne shall pay it,oyer to the town for it's
use. The county treasurer sold the GER
tlflcates as he was required by law to do.
there being no purchasers, he was also
required to bid them in for the county.
The only question to determine then. was
whether or not the sale of these certif-
Gates to the county was a collection or
not? 1t was then the tax had been col
lected and the amount was due the
town OF Eagle River. If the sale Of the
certificates to the county was not q col
lection OF the tax, then the amount was
not due the town The county board
dld not wish to make the levy unless
clearly satisfied that the amount was
Justly due the town. The MATTER was
therefore submitted to Judge Bardeen
who gave it as his opinion that the sale
OF the certificates was a collection of the
tax and the county board made it's lew
| accordingly.

= st. Guadalupe.

The recent episode in Mexico,
in which the so-called Protestant
missionaries threatened to get up
a war unless the Mexican Catho-
lies desisted from celebrating st.
Guadalupe's day, should furnish
good cause for our government to
notify such missionaries that they
Will not be recognized as entitled
to the protection of the American
flag IL they go into the country of
a friendly nation and stir up a re-
ligious war. What business have
these people in Mexico anyway?
The Mexicans are Christians to a
soul. They need no missionaries
to convert them to Christianity.
Ii Professionals want to proselyte
and are permitted to do go by
the Mexicans, we'll enough; but,
let them keep their hands off the
things sacred to the Mexican
Christians.
The story Of the vision of st.
Guadalupe may be myth, but il
is no more improbable than the
vision experienced by st. Paul on
his way to Damascus; it is no
more improbable than the stories
attached to hundreds OF places in
Europe, where shrines have been
erected and thousands visit to be
healed. Take. away the visions
the angel visits so freely recorded
in the new testament, and there
would be left nothing left to hang
preachers hat on.
The trouble is our preachers are
good lot of men they mean we'll
they want to benefit their fellow
men, but they have become toe
intolerant and too mixed up with
the affairs Of the world they pitch
into politics; they are not content
with the injnnctions of the ser;
mon on the mount; they try theil
hands at regulating the state
they take a dish in the local anC
state governments; they pitch in
to Spain for its war in Cuba; they
demand that prize fighting bt
stopped, and are forever tinkerine
with prohibition and Sunday laws
No wonder the great mass of in
telligence, the manhood of the
country, fight shy OF the preachers
