entirely upon the view taken of the evidence in

Emancipation Meant Much More to He,
Than She Had Imagined.
1t was the woman who spoke FIRST.
"It is as wcll," she said, "that we un.
derstand each other"
The man shrugged his shoulders with
an awkward attempt at Indifference. II
was plain that a crisis was at hand.

The woman at his side remained
thoughtful for some time her mind al
work collecting all the evidence in the past
that was against him. At length she broke
the silence, now becoming painful.
"Not long after we were married. ~ she
said, cit became apparent to me that you
in common with the majority of men, as
sumed that you had united yourself to al
inferior being You loved me, but it was
the love Of the strong for the weak. I was
the creature whose sole happiness rested
upon your favor, who was dependent alike
upon your patrimony and the whims ant
fancies that might sway you. At that
time was blind to my natural rights ant
accented your love in the same spirit il
which it was given. 1t happens, however
that new light has come to me-"
The man yisibly shuddered.
"Yes, j." she continued, 81 am no longer

Her husband, true man as he was lis
tened to the end. Then, proudly, trium
phantly, with all the power which comes
to those who are sure of themselves, he
said haughtily:

It is laudable ambition which
prompts any person to earn and to save
a portion Of the earnings. The founda.
tions Of most if not all of the colossal
fortunes Of the rich people in the world
had their beginning in that way. But
there are better things in the world than
wealth. Good health is one of them.
We are quite apt to envy the possessor
of great wealth, but far more is to be
envied the man or woman with robust
health, unwavering courage and the
disposition to 60 through life with a
song and smile. The happiest people
in the world are those who work and
work cheerfully. Housewife.

THE CONTEMPORARY SUITOR.

Time was that Strephon, when he found
A Chloe to his mind,
Sought not how Dun reported her,
Nor Jagged while time distorted her,
But rushed right in and courted her
AS nature had designed.
It's different now. My Lucy, there,
How gladly would l WOO,
But shapes of such monstrosity
Confront with such ferocity
My impecuniosity
What is a man to dor
Strephon and Chloe had hut,
And, though about the door
The wolf might raise his serenade,
No latter day menagerie bayed d"
Its warming grim to man and maid,
''Wed not if ye are poor"
But I--what monsters must face
When for Lucy sue;
What landlords roaring for their rent,
What troops of duns by grocers sent,
And shapes of want and discontent
Calamitous to view!
Stay, Lucy, stay! I'm bold and stout.
I'll rout the grisly crew.
Be constant, love, and hope and wait,
And by the time you're thirty eight
may perhaps have conquered fate,
And when I've won the right to mate,
Ii you're not too much out of date,
I'll surely mate with you'll

Railway Conjunction.

Chicago, Dec. 90. The Railway Age
makes the following statement of new
railway lines built IN the year 1897:
While the year 1897 has shown. larger
railway earnings and better business
conditions than it's immediate predeces-
sors, marked improvement in the finan-
cial outlook did not begin early enough
in the year for the completion of many
new railway undertakings, and so it
now appears that although much con-
struction work is under way the mile
age of track actually laid is but little
greater than that of the preceding
year. The lowest point in 20 years, in
respect to railway building, was reached
in 1895, when only 1903 miles of track
were added, and 1897 has done little bet
ter. the total now reported being 1864
miles. At the commencement of 1898
the United States will have 1874, 464mil
Of completed railway.

wheat Farmers I'm Luck.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-The wheat deal be-
tween Phil Armour and Joseph Letter,
son of L. z. Letter, of Washington, was
one of the biggest transactions of this
character that has marked the his
tory of the Chicago board of trade.
Shrewd operators estimate that Letter
has contracted for 100000 bushels,
and that as only 100000 have been de-
livered and only 100000 or 100000
more are in sight there is sure to be
pyrotechnic display. In order to meet
the Letter contracts agents of Armour
have secured the country, cash in hand,
and paid out to farmers millions of dol
lars. The wheat thus bought has COM
manded an average price of 90 cents
bushel.
