Ex-candidate Bryan's lamentation
that general prosperity has not yet
appeared" does not seem to apply to
himself since the newspapers of the
country are busying themselves with
the announcement that he has grown
so prosperous and luxurious in his
habits that he wears silk and rutfied
night-shirts, a habit which they
seem to assume is rather out of the
prophecies with a gentleman who
has so recently posed as the real and
only genuine friend Of labor.

THE WIND IN THE CHIMNEY.

Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted q melody no one knew.
And the woman stopped rs her babe she tossed
And thought OF the one she had long since lost
And said. na her teardrops back she forced,
II hato tho wind in the chimney"
Over tho chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one know.
And tho children said as they closer drew,
tbs some witch that Is cleaving the black
night through
IT'S some witch that is chewing the black,
And we fcar the wind In tho chimney"
Over the chimney tho night wind sang
And chanted n melody no one knew.
And the man as he sat on his hearth below
Said to himself, sit win surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wages low,
And I'll stop the leak in tho chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chantod n melody no one knew.
But tho poet listened and smiled, for he
Was man and woman and child. all three.
And he said. sit is Gods own harmony,
This wind that sings in tho chimney"

The Story of Stolen Watch and u Truly
Penitcnt Thief.

The Story of n Stolen Watch and u Truly
Pcnitent Thief.
Being rich and proud, the old railroad
magnate would give reasonable for
tune if this incident in his career had
never become public. He had left his
Office one afternoon, and in front of the
building found n crowd, attracted by a
passing procession. He was pressing
his way through when stopped by q
brilliantly handsome young woman
whose face wore troubled look. She
wanted to reach street in the north
western part Of the city and was at q
loss what route to take. He gallantly
helped her out of the crush, put her on
the right car and told her where to get
off. Wanting to know the time few
minutes later, he dove into his watch
pocket, only to find it unoccupied. a
little profanity was followed by a
chuclilc, for the watch taken was n
cheap affair he was carrying while his
timepicce was being repaired.
He had never suspected the beautiful
young lady, bus the next day sho ap.
peared i'll tears and restored the stolen
watch. She was sorely pressed for

go for help and had yielded to mo-
mentary impulse. But her conscience
gave her no rest until she repented and
made restitution. She had thrown her
self Oil his mercy, and the old gentle
man was deeply moved. He insisted on
her taking 500, to be returned if she
was ever i'll n position TO repay. other
wise to be regarded rs gift. Over
come by Il joyful reaction, she almost
tainted and would have fallen but for
the support of her benefactor When
she was gone, he felt as man who had
done Il good deed and was OH the best
Of terms with himself. He even looked
i'll tho glass to smile congratulations at
himself. There he discovered that his
big diamond pin was gone. Tho long
poclletEook WAS missing from the inside
pocket Of his coat. With Il weak hand
he reached for his own $500 ohronom-
ctcr, and that, too, had vanished He
told 10 one but his wife, whom he
sworo to secrecy. That is how the affair
got out.-Detroit Free Press.
