Even the local Democratic managers,
who are usually in more or less close re-
latiOns with Senator Butler and the Populist
campaign leaders, remarked yesterday on
the quietness which has marked the Populist
Senator's actions for the last few Gays.
He has seemed to receive no visitors of
note, and has not come to headquarters
until a late hour in the morning and then
confined himself almost entirely to the
considerationofh fhis mail. But thought
to be merely the prorerbiai calm before the

sons put an end to the conversation.
But it had lasted long enough to make
the young man happier than he had
been in good many weeks past, and
when he went out that night from her
presence his future seemed once more
radiant with the golden light Of hope.
He and Irma would marry. Her father
would start him in business. By the
way, why he'd she, knowing all that,
solicited that man to give him a polit-
ical appointment? No doubt she meant
it as joke, or it was just possible that
she was really ambitious to see him win
political preferment. Well, if it would
please her, he would do so.
He was very happy awhile that even
ing-for the last time.
A couple OF blocks from Mr.. Will
ma-tll 8 hoase ON his way home Chester
was attacked by two ruffians, who sought
to rob him. His athletic training when
in college stood him in such good stead
in this emergency that he whipped both
his assailants and turned one of them
over to policeman, the other taking to
his heels, without himself receiving any
serious physical damage. But he sus-
tanned an injury to which he would in
finitely have preferred some severe con-
tusions, for a hurt skin gets well, while
damaged raiment does not. Torn, blood
spattered and covered with dirt, Johns
handsome dress coat was irretrievably
ruined. Recognizing at glance the ut
taY. bODn1oecpocc Of ATTAIN Dtipo or IN c11ra ifc
wounds, Chester went the next morning
to its maker and paid for another to re-
place it. When he had done so, he had
less than SO left out of the 500 obtain
ed by pawning his watch.
The episode of the coat was but one
more step on the now steeply inclined
road TO ruin down which fate was IT.

UN EQUAL ANATOMY.
Orange Differences In the Eyes and other
Parts of the Body.

Iarts OF the Body.
Some curious features are noted in the
inequality in size and influence of corre-
spoLGing parts of the human body. The
ears on the same head are probably more
alike than any other of the twin organs of
the body. Nevertheless they vary as re-
CARDS thickness, length, shape and posi-
ton most remarkably in different indivi-
duals. II the car, however, on one side is
delicate In size and contour the other will
be the same, while If the one looks like a
dried fig the other duplicates it in form
and color. But with the eye it is differ
emit. To say nothing of the fact that one
eye is generally more open than the other,
all oculists agree that the cases where tho
seeing powers of the two are equal in the
same head arc very rare. Usually men
use the right eye the most. Watchmakers,
engravers, microscopes and mariners
using the telescope apply their right eye to
the instrument, and generally overwork
that organ. There is no good reason why
both eyes should not be equally strong, but
they are not. Tailors agree that the right
shoulder is almost always lower than the
left. This they account for by the uni
versal habit men have of resting the left
elbow on the desk while writing, and to
the equally prevalent practice of those who
carry heavy burdens resting them on the
right shoulder.
AS regards the arms and legs, there Is
generally but slight difference. In the size
of the hands and feet there is commonly
great variation, Hnd, curiously enough,
while it is tho right hauG thtt is generally
bigger, it is tic Lett tot that often re-
quires larger "ct ! or Shoe. Glove
makers give tie prrlO. lu'l uf large right
hands as 900 to LOCO which, by the way,
approximates to the prof. ortion of right
handed persons in tho community. The
size of the hand isgenerally increased by
labor. IL ladies are TO be trusted as to the
size of tho gloves they wear, the human
hand has grown smaller within the last 90
or 30 years. But glovers tell O different
story. They confess to Eaking all ladies'
gloves II half size smaller than they really
are This, they say, is because ladies al
most invariably ask for size smaller
glove than they should wear.
There is nearly always difference in
the size OF the hands This is so marked
that the glove that fits the right hand viii
wrinkle on the left, looking, in fact, too
largo. Tho left foot, as rule, Is the
larger. While tho right hand and arm are
generally better developed and stronger,
the opposite leg corresponds in those par
ticulars. 1t is found that in athletic per-
sons the advantage of strength is often
with the left foot. That is the foot we
habitually stand upon, and it is the left
foot that leads off in the walking A man
uses the left foot most on the bicycle, and
even more so in mounting horse. While
the constant use of the right hand is a
matter of training monkeys use both
equality, the more frequent use of the left
foot would seem to be q general habit,
hence that foot is in many cases the stron-
ger.-Exohange.

the most valuable that Irma received.
In fact, the big ruby made an actual
sensation, eliciting expressions of WON
der and admiration from all who saw
it. Even Mr. Willmarth made no scru-
pie of demonstrating his establishment,
for it was stone that he, with all his
wealth, would have hesitated to present
to anybody. And it led him into an err
ror that was the cause Of making Mr..
Sewall very uncomfortable, notwith-
standing his unexpected distinction.
The astute financier was incapable of
imagining that young man could be
so in love with girl as to give to her
the wealth Of kingdom, if he possessed
it, leaving himself a beggar, and the
idea never occurred to him that Chester
could have been ignorant Of the worth
of that treasure. Consequently he con"
cluded that Chester must either be a fell
low Of remarkable ability or the espe-
cial favorite Of fortune, and in either
character well worth cultivating. So
he linked arms with him, walked him
about and talked investments to him,
suggested the most tantalizing point
ers" for speculation and more than
limited that he would be pleased to have
him open an account with the house of
Willmarth 81 Co. OF course Chester,
with the perverse understanding Of the
unfortunate, imagined that the old fell
low had in some way learned Of his
financial disasters and was chatting"
him, o notion that set him inwardly
raging.
There were many exceptions, Chester
found, to the Family gathering" limi-
tations of the party, and among them
was Mr.. Cyrus Pratt, the famous poll
tician, to whom he was introduced,
with not o little impressment, by Mr..
Willmarth. The ''boss" appeared to be
q heavy man, considerably past middle
age, with an immobile countcnance,
sleepy eyes and a coppery complexion,
who merely accorded him nod of in

been cleaned with the stuff they put IN
lamps If Irma should get one sniff Of
that odor, identify it with him and
guess at the reason for its presence, she
might be capable Of renouncing him
forever. Yet the more he contemplated
his own as an alternative the more
shabby it appeared to him. Would it be
judicious investment under the cir
cumstances for him to buy new one?
The slenderness of his resources COM
PEELED him to decide against it. Why
not wear Johns? TWAS new, an elegant
garment. One nights wear would not
harm it. John would certainly not re-
fuse to lend it if he were at home and
indeed need never know that it had been
borrowed. If it would fit He took it
out of Johns wardrobe and tried it on.

on "there was not better looking wax

by the way, she would not make re-
marks like that 1t was so difficult for
him to determine sometimes whether
The coat difficulty thus disposed Of,
another, which at first threatened to be
yet more serious, presented itself. He
would be expected to make present to
Irma on the suspicious occasion, one
worthy Of her and of the position he as
sumed as her affianced husband. Very
gladly, indeed, he would have given to
her diamonds as big as pumpkins or
pailfuls of pearls if he could, but even
q decent bouquet would have made q
serious draft on his resources, and he
feared that bouquets were hardly up to
the occasion anyway. To buy such o
piece Of jewelry as he would care to
offer would bankrupt him.
After long cogitation he brought out
of lis trunk little box, enveloped and
secled as it was when it came into his
possession. In faded ink upon the paper
ilfolding it were the words written in
q tremulous hand, "For my son. -
His eyes were dimmed for moment,
as he tenderly folded the paper and laid
it aside. Surely, he thought, if mother
could know she would not disapprove
what he was about to do in his extrem-
ity. She, too, would have loved Irma
had she known her.
The box contained o number of pieces
Of jewelry, rings, earrings, brooches
und bracelets, all old fashioned and
generally of no great value Mrs. Sewall
had cared little for ornament and her
additions to the accumulation were
those Of least worth financially, though
the only ones that had any sacredness
Of association in the mind Of her son.
Some of the antique pieces, that had
long been heirlooms in his family, were
much more valuable than Chester i'm
agined, but they were few. One Of these
he selected for his present to Lma. 1t
was nautilus, wrought in gold and
enamel, with a setting Of one splendid
ruby, exquisite in design and superb in
execution. He chose it simply because
of its artistic beauty, thinking nothing
more Of the big ruby than that it looked
well, for he knew practically nothing
Of the values of precious stones.
On the evening Of the party he was
more than pleased and not little sur
prised to learn that his present was not
only the most beautiful but by very far

might be the turning point in his for

say: "Bless you, my children. Your

be happy"

presented itself anew. He could not dare
