sent to Chicago to collect the money.
The Chicago firm was in bad shape
and couldn't pay the bill, but it didn't
want to make an assignment, SO the
two members Of the firm started in to
'jolly up" the Cincinnati man. They
took him around town and gave him
what is called a good time--in fact,
they got him drunk. While he was
drunk these Chicago smooth men in
duced him to accept piece of land out
west Of the city in payment of the ac-
count. They gave him a deed and in
duced him to sign a receipt They
kept the Cincinnati man loaded UP for
three or four days. When he became
sober and realized how he had betrayed
his firm and been taken in he was both
angry and ashamed. He soon learned
that the tract of land was nothing but
raw prairie far outside of the city linn
it's. 1t was not even fenced In. They
say that he offered to give a deed for
the property in payment of his hotel
bill before he started back to Cincin-
natl, but the hotel didn't want it. The
senior partner at Cincinnati was much
dissatisfied when he heard how the
settlement had been made, and the
young man, to square everything, took
the Chicago property in his name. He
didn't have any chance to sell it right
away, so he held on to it. AS Chicago
began to build westward his tract of
raw prairie began to have value, and
then he didn't want to sell it. To-day,
the land is right In the center of fine
residence district, and the poor young
man who was drugged into taking it
has more money than he knows what
to do with.
Just think, Der brethren and sisters,
and also dear children, what this man
might have become If he had not been
drinking man. Be warned by his sad
fate, and touch not, taste not, handle
not the accursed stuff.

rs ANDkEE Az THE POLEe

When NJ Andree first announced that
he intended to go to the North Pole in a
balloon his scheme was apparently so
wild that little attention was paid to it.
But he kept at 1t, and he may even now
be at the Pole or dead The latest news
from him Is that he had safely reached
Dane Island, was putting up his bal
loon house, and was as confident as
ever. He expected to be in the air
early in July. The distance from Dane
Island to the Pole is about $50 miles.
If the wind should rise to a high degree
of velocity the balloon could, If it with
stood the strain, run to the Pole easily
in twenty-four hours. But the Andree
party does not expect to travel faster
than four metres per second, or about
twenty miles an hour At that rate the
goal will be reached, unless stops are
made. in two or three days. As mat
ter Of fact, M. Andree has fixed on
about six days as the actual length Of
time required to cover the $50 miles be-
tween Dane Island and the Pole. He
intends to spend some time on the top
Of the earth, and has given out that he
hardly expects to reach the other side
of the globe inside Of six weeks.
1t would be wonderful If M. Andree
should accomplish that which must be
accomplished before the adventurous
will be satisfied. And it would not be
wonderful If he and his companions
should be added to the list of those
who have been defeated and slain BY
the North Pole.

striking similarity is shown in the
method and deliberation with which
each went about his bloody work.
In each case it was premeditated-
planned, even to the most minute de-
tail. Holmes burned many of his
victims aud some he buried. Bastian
buried some of his, but from present
surmises he burned others. Both
seemed to be gratifying a cruel lust
born of the devil, yet in every case
each sought in some way to gain by
the operation. Holmes has lived long
enough to face his accusers. and to
fall beneath the preponderance of the
testimony against him. Bastian
lived until his sins had begun to find
him out. He found he could not
face the accusations being made and
further to be made. He knew what
was coming-and suicide was the
last resort of the coward.
