DIED OF DIRT.

European Edition New York Herald.
A sordid end was that of M. Paul Mer-
cier, the editor of a paper called Gagne-
Petit and formerly a member of the
Gaulois staff Since he took up his quar-
ters in the rue Alfred-Stevens seven
years ago no one had ever entered his
room except himself. For some days
his neighbors missed him. and, calling the
Conceiges attention to the fact, they
summoned NJ. Cornette, the police COM
missary.
On breaking into the Journalists Iodg-
ings the commissary found the occupant
dead on filthy bed Numbers of trunks
were found containing art works of value
that had evidently not been opened since
he moved in. The room adjoining was
full of dirty linen M. Mercier had never
thought of employing laundress, but
had simply bought new things and wore
them until they literally dropped off his
back
A doctor summoned by the police Off
cial certified that death was due to the
foul miasmas of the dirt-laden room,
which, it seems, had not been ventilated
for seven years.

THE NEW WOMAN,
How the Man of the Future Win Have to
Woo Her.

You look tired, dear"
The man who had given up his life 10

toned him gazed tenderly into the eyes
uplifted so searchingly into his. saws
Brooklyn Life.
Il am trife tired, my darling" he
said. "Our cooking class was a little
longer than usual this afternoon, and It
has told upon me-"
"Yes dear" she replied sympatheti-
cally. II have heard my mother tell how
wearing they were on her, and 1 can
understand in measure how irksome
they must be. Is that all you have been
doing today?'
"Oh, mo-" he cried. "Thls morning
attended a most absorbing lecture on the
care of the household, the first of n
series that are to be given this season,
1t was so helpful"
Il can imagine so,' she replied softly,
Although a subject that has never
claimed my serious thought 1 can ap-
preciate just how inspiring talks of this
sort must be to one so ambitious as YOUR
selfr'
Indeed, yes, and that is not ALL" he
exclaimed, enthusiastically, Il am look

and it Is wonderful what a vast field 1t
is. They asked me if j would prepare
paper on the use and abuse of tides"
he added, modestly 'but l haven't
enough confidence in myself"
'Oh, why don't you?" she cried. "I
am sure you could do it, dear, and all
these things will be such help in your
future life. You are a dear, good boy,
and you try so hard to please me-"
With an exclamation of delight her
future life companion, the look of weari-
ness on his face giving place to one of
the greatest hopefulness, drew her swift
ly to his arms.
DO you thinn So" he said, "Ah, my
dearest, how l have toiled to hear you
say those words-the first words of praise
for me that have ever fallen from your
lips, and now that you have spoken tell
me when can 1 claim my reward and cali
you my own?'
And there was a look of intermingled
satisfaction and complacency in her face
as she replied
Il think, James, dear, If you keep on
in the way that you have began, in three
or four years you will be fitted to take
upon yourself the duties of a husband"

THIS OCCURS TOO OFTEN.

Washington News.
He was talking to a blooming young
girl on the piazza at Chevy Chase Inn,
and plainly felt he was being admired,
He was a vain old fool, and her evident
interest fiattered him. Out of the broad
doorway his wife advanced, her worn,
sa.low face lightened with pleasure.
"How do you like my new bonnet,
dear?" she asked, gently yearning for him
to approve the Frenchy combination of
black satin and flowers set above her
slightly time-streaked locks. He with
drew his eyes reluctantly from the pink
and white damsel beside him, and gave
this woman who had shared his poverty
and helped to build his fortune a wither-
ingly Indifferent glance.
"Roses are all very well for Miss
Mamie, here" he replied. "but wouldn't
a spray of ivy, with an owls head on
one side, be more suitable for you, my
love?" Tears filled her eyes and she
left them together.

LOVE MAKES A MAN BOLD.

Atchison Globe.
A man in love, with few opportunities,
doesn't care how many people are watch
ing him. Under a tree at Forest Park
yesterday there sat a girl with a pink
dress trimmed in blue ribbons and a
young man who felt very awkward in his
best clothes. Their love story was evil
IDENTIFY new, as they didn't see thing
going on around them, and within the
space of 40 minutes had kissed each
other 81 times by actual count. Fully
50 people kept tally. They were first
seen under the tree at 9 o'clock in the
morning and were still there long after
milking time. They had nothing to eat
or drink all day. but looked contented
and happy. The balloon passed right
over their heads, but they didn't see
it. We wonder if they are still there,
and If they know that it rained.

the soil from either Ben Margrave's or
from Parkers farm onto Charles Sewers
farm.
In time the goat became so valuable
that Mr.. Sewer used to sit on his porch
and direct the goat to keep the wheels
turning. At last the goat could not digest
an empty whisky bottle, and it died.
So, after this sad occurrence, Mr.. Sc
vier sold his farm to the East Tennessee
Land company and movedfto Hartman,
where he now resides. He still insists
that goats are intelligent.

Hers Is a Butterfly Existence
and Must Cease.
KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT VALUES
Whether to Be the Wife of Rich or
Poor Man She Should Learn
Business Economy.

She is fortunate in having people tc
care for her, and the money that is put
in the dainty little purse Is a gift, ano
not a wage earned. She does not know
how much her dresses cost-she had
them charged and did not ask; and she
would think she was horribly mean II
she went out with a girl friend and did
not treat her to luncheon and buy her
something pretty. The whole crowd, as
she calls them, have soda at her expense,
and then she bought bunch of violets
for herself and one for her most intimate
friend and had two pairs of gloves
charged. My dear little butterfly, what
kind of wife are you going to make
for young man whose salary is $500 a
year. And that is rather more than the
average man of 25 gets. Now 1 want
you to be woman enough to ask your
father not to give you candy and soda
money, but an allowance, and tell him
it is because you want to learn the value
of money. He is a business man, and
he will see the wisdom of it. Then buy
your own dresses, pay for the making
of them, learn what they are worth,
and learn just how much that you
squander is unnecessary. When you have
them charged you do not think it worth
While to clean gloves, but when you pay
out, your own money for them you will
see the wisdom of this economy.
The girl who knows nothing about the
value of her clothes, VINO uses her pocket
money only for nonsense, is rot fit to
control money, or to be the wife Of either
rich or a poor man. The wise girl
must stop right away in her career Of
ignorance. She must make up her mind
fo 1aor Of ha
use and its wicked abuse. Prince Charm
ing dreams of asking her to control
tiny cottage in which love and happi-
ness may be found, but how can he
when her clothes and her foibles require
more money than he can make in three
years? A young woman can afford to
dress simply. She is wronging herself
when she impresses the men who are her
friends with her ignorance of life and
its duties. If she is left to live her life
alone, never having the joy of being wife
or mother, 1t is too often because the
man VINO loved her knew that ne did
not have money enough to keep her as
she wished, knew that, honestly, he could
not afford to ask her to be his wife.
Think it all over, my pretty butterfly,
stop studying Greek and go back to the
multiplication table; give up the either
and take to pencil and paper. Learn the
value of money. Having that knowledge,
no matter whether you are a worker or
an idler, you possess a great power,
Whether your income is small or great
you will be able to be both just and
generous with 1t, and that is what l
want MY girls TO be. 1t is only by caring
for the pennies that you can control
the dollars For me, 1 am so proud of
the American girl that 1 want her to
do what is right and this she will never
do until she is brave enough to draw the
strings Of her purse against extravaganza
and sickly sentimentality and to open
it to justice and proper generosity.-Ruth
Ashmore in the Ladies' Home Jornal.

THE EFFECT WAS STRIKING.


Boston Herald.
A styiisly dressed young woman was
sitting quietly in her seat in the cars
on her way to Hartford, presumably,
when two "dudishly dressed young men"
boarded the train near Stamford. They
began to annoy the woman, who was
a good deal more advanced than they
had any idea of. The passengers became
interested, and wondered If the young
woman would leave the car or appeal to
the conductor. She did neither, how
ever but after patience had ceased to
be a virtue, she rose up in her wrath,
and, rolling up her sleeves, pitched into
the would-be mashers in true pugilistic
style. Every blow came straight from
the shoulder and landed with telling
effect upon the physiognomy of either of
the men, until they were compelled to
beat an ignominious retreat from the
car

WON THE GAME.
The Condemned Criminals Last Play
Was a Nine-Stroke

Boston Home Journal.
Here is a MunchausenIlike story which
actually appeared in an old German
newspaper In an imperial city lately a
criminal was condemned to be beheaded
who had a singular itching TO play at
nine-pins. While his sentence was pro-
nouncing he had the temerity to offer a
request to be permitted to play once more
at his favorite game at the place Of ex-
ecution and then he said he would sub
init without a murmur.
AS the last prayer ola dying man, the
request was granted. When arrived at
the solemn spot he found everything pre-
pared, the pins being set UP and the
bowl ready. He played With no little ear
nestness; but the sheriff at length, seeing
that he Showed no inclination to desist,
privately ordered the eXocutioner to
strike the fatal bow as he stopped for
the bowl.
The executioner did so and the head
dropped into the culprits hands as he
raised himeslf to see what had occurred;
he Immediately aimed at the nine, con-
ceiving that it was the bowl which he
grasped. AN nine falling, the head loud
iy exclaimed, II have won the game"

of tne Angora goat as could be asked.

able goat, wlich ne trained in many
ways. Taen, each year the fine wool the
goat p.cdlced yie.ded a revenue that was
the fod1dation OF mis- fortune. Mr. Sewer
made the goat q regular mathematical

goat for one or hundred apples.
So It was in everything. The goat
would be sent to feed the horses and

green corn in the fed The goat would
perform the service, and butt the horse
