CHAPTER v.

The splendor Of early June had come,
azure mornings that made one drunk
with the Joy of living, long crystal days
that sank bewitchingly into the peace
Of twilight and the magic Of starlit
nights.
Since that walk with Marian, more
than month before, the days had been
busy and anxious for Hugh. A life that
he had saved in one Of the prison hos
pitfalls as If by miracle, but really
through a bold and startling operation,
had crowned him with more newspaper
celebrity than was pleasant to man of
his reticent nature.
The crucial surgical work, though be-
set with drawbacks, had brought its
own compensation. IL had engrossed his
thoughts and taken him out of himself,
until successfully finished. Then a med
ical journal Of highest standing honored
him by asking for paper describing
his treatment in detail He was becom-
ing a parsonage in the medical world,
and the sale of his books had markedly
increased.
Jenny commenced to talk Of house
in New York, not on the outskirts of
Harlem, where her mother kept board

A man with a red nose which looked
chronic and had the air Of being legiti-
mntely acquired called at the Office of a
big life insurance company, and address
ing the first official he happened to meet
said:
"Sir, l am insured for IS, 900 in your
company"
"Wellf"
"Tho policy, strange to say, is made out
I'm the namo Of my wife, She has posses
sion Of 1t.
"Not strange at all, but eminently prop
err" said the official.
And II could get hold Of the policy
would hook it," continued the man with
tho red nose, "but she keeps it hid. l am
here, however, for the purpose of making
a proposition to you, and tho whereabouts
Of the policy is neither hero nor there
Are you open to q dealr'
"We are" answered the official coldly.
"Well, hero is my plan. Since cannot
raise anything on that policy spring up
on you the following situation: Before
nightfall shall be a dead man, and you'll
have to pony up that IS, O00"
"How do you mako that outS" demand
ed the official in tones of surprise.
"Simply because cannot get drink, Z"
replied tho policy holder. "If whisky Is
not forthcoming, perish. l simply lie
down and stiffen out, and you lose your
money. A quarter of dollar, however
will save my Efe and save you 5000 bones.

He looked anxiously at the official, but
the latter seemed to be frozen solid

"You do not" was the reply in icy

Rev. H. D. Fisher of Topeka Thinks He
Will BE Chaplain of the Next House.
Rev. II. D. Fisher of Topeka, who is
spoken of as the next chaplain of the
national house of representatives, is not
surprised at the announcement
1.-The matter is six months DID," said
Mr.. Fisher, land 1 have Mr.. Broderick of
the First Kansas district to thank for il.
II was he that Grst thought of it. We were
very well acquainted years ago at West
moreland. Pottawatomie county. The
matter was arranged in the form of a
slate last spring, aud l believe
a majority of the congressman will help
us out. The Kansas delegation is with
us. So is the Maine, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and other eastern delega-
cations. By this same combination, Alr,
Reed will be the speaker of the house.
when the matter was arranged, Mr.
Broderick said he had nothing to ask but
the selection of the chaplain and he was
given it.
Il have information that Mr. Reed
has been approached by several appli-
Giants for the position of chaplain, but
that he has told them the place was al
ready spoken for by a Kansas man who
was minister of the gospel and had
been staunch Republican for thirty fl i've
wears"

Window.
The big fab that Pick Smith made
such fuss about last summer has been
on exhibition in down town show win
dow for several days. 1t is handsomely
mounted on a vanished walnut board on
which is also displayed the lines he-or
she-was caught with and the rabbit
foot Pick wore that brought him the
luck.
Accompanying the display is the fol-
lowing placard:
This is Pick Smiths fish. This is a
lady fish and was caught by Smith
at Les Cheneaux islands in northern
Lake Huron, August %. 1895. 1t may
have been asleep at the time but it got
mixed up with the accompanying hook
and line which happened while the h.
ermaa wore the attached rabbit foot. Ii
weighed forty four ca pounds before
dinner. This Information is no lie. Those
who know Mr.. Smith best will believe
this without affidavits-maybe. Those
who don't believs it don't have to, SO the
man said"
The fish is four feet long and some
plumper than Pick.

POOR POLITICIANS.
They Have to Give Colored NJ IN

THEY HEED THE WARNING GIVEN

by the C0Iored Voters at the Late

the Hcad OF Every County On1cer.
The fact that the official election re
turns show that the colored vote in
Shawnee county was not all cast for
Dave Burdge for sheriff, has opened the
eyes of some of the county officials who
want to be renominated for a second
term next fall.
The county commissioners yesterday
announced the appointment of Lee
Woodall to position at the new court
house and today it il understood that E.
NJ Cockrell, clerk of the district court
has decided TO put a colored clerk in his
Office
The clerk of the court has he ard
rumbling of alleged dissatisfied ton be-
cause he didn't put colored man in his
office when he was first elected, and he
now proposes to make things right by
hiring colored stenographer.
There are two candidates under con-
sideration. One is son of Andy Jordan,
the well known politician, and the other
is W. A Patterson, young man who Is
working for ex-Justice of the Peace ".
!. JamisOu.
1t is now in order for the Swedes, the
Germans, the Irish, the Hoosiers, and
other classes, to see to it that they are
not neglected in this matter. If the poi
Iticians are going to give out clerkships
according to race and color, they have no
right to restrict their favors to the col
ored race alone Let all have a chance
What has the Swedish Republican club
70 say, for instance?
Meantime. the great majority of Tope-
kans who are not in politics, but are at
tending to business, can have good
laugh at the quandary the politicians
are in whom we permit to carry on our
public affairs.
