How contemplate Is the miserable
man who. by smooth tongue and slick
ways. gets worthy people into his
clutches to be bunkoed, robbed or
murdered! Conspicuous in his class
Just now is Butler, the Australian null
ti-murderer, who was recently captured
In San Francisco on board the Swan
Ailda. While ON the vessel he was
known in sailor parlance as an "angel
sailor" He used no bad language and
objected to any coarse or profane ex-
pressions being used by his shipmates.
One day at mess, when a sailor rudely
anatched a piece Of bread from the
hand Of another. Butler. who valued
human life as cheaply as that OF a gnat,
was 80 outraged at this breach OF table
etiquette that. after glazing angrily at
the offender. he remarked that he had
once killed q negro In West Australia
tor . less offense than that. Alto
gether this man. who lured his victims
20 the mountains and made them dig
their own graves, was much too nice

oailors he shipped with. Beware OF con-
1dence men--men who have spells of
being too good. They are usually after
either your money or your life.

potter's field. The woman's story is
printed. because 1t is a true picture OF

the mother to the reporter. For that

When asked as to her antecedents
Mrs Reynolds said:
Il am native of France, having
been born in Paris thirty-one years

The Famine Tn India.

The appalling extent of the fam
inc in India is indicated by
the statement that the districts
affected by the scarcity include
about two-thirds of the country and
those suffering actual famine include
about one-fourthof the whole. The fam
inc districts contain more than eieh-
ty mtllion people. The government has
instituted public works to give en-
ployment to the needy, and at last
accounts the number was about two
million, and was increasing rapidly,
At the shortest. the famine must con-
tinue four or five months longer and
II the June monsoon should be dis
appointing it might be continued much
beyond that time. Some previous fam
ines have been more acute than this
but few have extended over so wide
an area or affected so large a popula-
ton.

found in American residences, at least
under the same name. This is the OF
fice." One frequently finds mention OF
this in descriptions OF English resi-
dences, even in the stately country
houses. and the term often confounds
the initiated. The word office has
large latitude in America, and Is gen.
orally applied Unfortunately to any
place where business is transacted,
doing duty equally for the English
chamber" and shop" But the one
use it never has in this country is that
corresponding to it's use in the English
residence. There the office is the
private room of the master or the mis-
tress of the house, where business
letters are written and filed, where SER
