A FORGOTTEN Fortune.

One Of the great capitalists in New
York, mon whose achievements by
reason of their magnitude cause his
name to be as familiar to the public as
that Of almost any man in New York,
went into the safe deposit vaults ono
day and gave to the manager an envel-
ope which he said contained 1000
shares of Northwestern stock He did
not want to put this stock in his vault
for reasons best known to himself. The
envelope was given to an employee, who
did not know it's contents, who was in
structed to place it in his own private
vault until called for, and with that ar
rangement the capitalist seemed content.
A few months later this capitalist was
in a great state of mind. He could not
find anywhere among his possession
block of 1000 shares Of Northwestern
stock. He could not say whether it had
been lost or stolen. AT last he gave
bond to the railroad company and re-
ceived for it new stock, and the old issue
was cancelled.
At the beginning of the following
year the deposit company's employee
asked that he might be relieved Of the
responsibility of caring for the cap
italist's envelope, although he did
not know what it contained. The
capitalist was sent for and the envelope
given to him. He himself received the
envelope in apparent ignorance of its
contents until he opened it and found
within the missing 1900 shares of the
par value Of $4,000 The whole tran
action was an utter blank to him. If he
had been man of Incorporate habits it
might have been explained, but he is
practically total abstainer. -Philadel-

"John, you have been drinking

The words fell cruelty upon the
blushing mans senses. They were
true. He could not deny them. And
yet he wondered. On top of that lit
tie drink he had carefully placed one
glass of ice water, two olives, three
crackers, liberal portion of cheese,
two cloves, six grains of coffee, three
spices, one soda mint, and in addition
thereto he had smoked a cigar. He
could only turn his head sadly away
and say: "What's the good of any
thing?'

BOBBY'S COMPOSITION ON
PARENTS.

Parents are things which boys have
to look after them. Most girls also
have parents. Parents consist of Pas
and Mas. Pas talk a good deal about
what they are going to do, but mostly
it's Mas that make you mind
Sometimes it is different, though.
Once there was a boy came home
from college on vacation. His par
ents lived on farm. There was work
to be done on the farm. Work on a
farm always has to be done early in
the morning. This boy didn't get up.
His sister goes to the stairway and
calls: "Willie, tits beautiful morn
ing. Rise and list to the lark.'' The
boy didn't say anything. Then his
Ma calls: civilian, it is time to get
up. Your breakfast is growing cold"
The boy kept right on not saying
anything. Then his Pa puts his head
in the stairway, and says he, Chill"
"Coming, sir!" says the boy.
know boy that hasn't got any
parents. He goes in swimming when
ever he pleases. But am going to
stick to nay parents. However, 1 don't
tell them SO, 'cause they might get it
into their heads that l couldn't get
along without them. Says this boy
to me, parents are nuisance; they
aren't what they're cracked up to
be-" Says to him, "Just the same,
find 'em handy to have. Parents have
their failings, of course, like all of us,
but on the whole 1 approve of 'em."
Once man says to me, "Bobby, do
you love your parents!" "Well,"
says I, "rm not a-quarreling with
'em. Once boy at a boarding
school went to calling his Pa the Gov
ernor, and got his allowance cut down
one half His Pa said he ought to
have waited till he was going to col
lege. Much more might be written
about parents, showing their habits
and so forth, but will leave the task
to ADLER pens.

A Talk
About
Watches.

Bob. Ingersoll says that once a
watch was not necessity, now it
is. Without a watch you miss the
train, and missing many trains con-
ysecutively invites decentralization.
Hon. Frederick Douglass once
said that no article he ever owned
had been more serviceable to him
than his watch. His success in life
depended on punctuality, and in
fifty years he did not remember
missing a single appointment.
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage says ::
A true watch is an invaluable pos
session.
A celebrated Chief Justice once
said that the number Of watches
worn in any community was the
measure OF the refinement and civ
ilization Of that community.
S. III. Preston says that every
person old enough to appreciate
and care for a watch should own
one, and thinks it would be the
proper caper to purchase it at No.
l Columbia Block, as there is
where the best watches are sold.

Maine passenger station Westmore

Its failure. let us hope, Is only temporary. not

,rUJsH VOfEN'S WORK FOR THEIR FAITH

JEWISH VOMEN'S WORK FOR THEIR FAITH
Tho first annual convention Of the Councils or
Jevish Women will be opened in this city TO-
day and will remain in session several days; anu
os the convention marks new departure In the
history of an old people 1t Is worthy OF more
than passing notice.
Tho Jews have always had distinctive and
exclusive societies. some Of which,, like the
P,nai.B'rlth and the Free Sons Of Israel, have
had branches and lodges in all parts Of the coun-
try. The men who were then and who are sui
rho most conspicuous In Jewish circles were
members Of these organizations, which were
founded for the purpose Of keeping alive the
love for Judaism These societies, however.
gradually degenerated into mutual endowment
concerns. and membership was sought because
Of the insurance and for no other reason. The
founders saw that the younger generation was
gradually slipping away from Judaism and that
something must be done to stimulate an interest
in the faith which had survived through so
many centuries The rabbs CT the various con-
gregations saw 1t also. but could find no rem
cdy and all are free to confess today that the
object Of the Jewish societies has mscarried
and that the young jew Is sadly deficient IN the
history Of his people and the religion OF his
fathers. They complain that his business keeps
him from attending service mt the synagogue
that he IL toe prone to scott Mt the orthodox
members OF his faith, and that he Is slowly Dut
surely drifting into agnostlcsm and atheism.
He is keenly sensitive about being COMPOUNDED
with his corellgiOnst In Baxter and In Allen

ceremonies of his temple differ from those or

though he may he college graduate and COM

would probably stumble II asked to explain the
reasons for some Of the moro important Jewish
holidays.
1t seems that the women Of Israel in America
have recognized this condition. and with view
to educating themselves and the rising genera
ton on the subject Of the Jewish faith and to
Amerlcanze the illteratc Jews who come to our
shores they have formed the organization which
has It's first annual convention this week. While
the movement reflects credit on the women 1t Is
n silent rebuke to their fathers husbands and

NONSENSE AND WISE MEN.

The Tribune Is enabled to bear up with con-
siderable fortitude under occasional protests
against the colored supplement now issued reg
ularly, nasmuch ms for each OF these more or
less sorrowful complaints it IS receiving about
n thousand proofs that this new departure mis-
n lonc-felt want. "A little nonsense now and
then is relshed by the wisest men,, and the
truth Of the adage Is not impaired by the cir
cumstance that few who consider themselves
n good deal wiser than the wlsest are taking
the trouble to inform us that it does not apply
TO them. We should never think OF treating with
dlsrespect sincere and intelligent complaints
from friends. but we confess that we are divert
ed by the detection Of competitors whose I'M
happiness Is obviously derived from hungry
realization Of what we have gained.
But there Is a serious side to this matter. There
Is no palmer fact in life than that the present
generation Of men, women and children want
TO be amused and will be amused. A part OF
their amusement they are bound to get from
their newspapers. If they can obtain what they
need not be ashamed OF wanting in this line
from newspapers which also give them every
thing else that they want. they will not banker
after newspapers which are full Of stuff that
nobody ought TO want. If they can get 1t from
Journals vigorously edited for the family circle,
which scrupulously exclude everything that
reasonable parent would shut out, very well.
II not, they will get 1t elsewhere. II the dig
nifty" Of family paper must be preserved by
leaving out everything that may provoke n smile
everything less serious than the tariff sound
money and rumors Of foreign war. then the
young people and great many OF their elders
will seek the entertainment and amusement they
demand in papers that no family ought TO re-
cc!ye.
