movable. counting each sonorous
stroke with mute lips. AS the last
died away in silence there was an
awful pause. as if the absence of
sound made the quiet more CHASTITY,
and then
The figure on the couch stirred and
sighed-the hands raised themselves
OIL the breast, and the flowers fell
with a muf,ed sound on the floor.
The on}ookers gazed at this awe
some resurrection in paralyzed sill
ence, and it was only when Adrian
opened his eyes. and languidly tried
to rise, that the spell broke. and Olive
fell on the floor, while the three NOR
rushed forward in a state of uncon-
troltahle agitation.
He lives! he lives!" cried Sir John,
placing his arm under Adrian's head.
and cautiously lifting him to an erect
sitting position.
Il knew it was a trance" said
Teddy t%riumphantly. poor old chap.
he seems worn out " and with great
presence of mind he poured out a
glass OF wine and held it to Adrian's
lips.
While he was drinking it, the
sergeant stood scratching his head
with amazement.
Il never saw such a queer thing IN
my Ii e." he said, staring at Adrian
with a look of awe on his face, Its
like the raisin'of Lazarus"
Adrian revived somewhat with the
wine, spoke in a faint voice. Olive, -"
he whispered. .Olive."
The woman on the floor heard the
beloved voice, and, raising herself to
her knees, dragged herself across the
floor to the side of the couch, and,
with one cry of Joy. clasped Adrian
to her breast

and during the removal Of some old
railroad ties On the line Of the Wind
sor and Annapolis Railway. discovered
a large garter snake with young.
Immediately on being attacked she
opened her mouth and tho young
snakes took refuge therein. l then
killed the mother and took from her
stomach thirty-six young snakes
about half an inch in length" There
is here clearly some error of observ-
alton. for the young garter snake
when it first makes It's appearance is
usually much longer than half an inch.

The Fastest Time on Record.

One of the passengers of a Houston,
Tex. street car was in a particular
hurry. but the car in which he was
moved as slow as the realization OF
civil service reform.
Whats the matter With the muiep
Isn't he well?:.' asked the impatient
passenger.
The mule isn't 20 blame for all
this slowness. It's the Houston street
car company that's TO blame" replied
the driver.
''How's that?'
why. you see, the company pays
US by the month, so we amt in a
hurry. but if it paid us by the trip I
could get 2:10 out Of that mule. You

PURSES OF HUMAN SKIN,

of Desperadoes.
The report comes from Tacoma that
the cuticle of Tom Blanck, a desperate
VINO was killed a few days ago, will
be tanned and made into pocketbooks.
While in jail in Seattle Blanck made a
wooden imitation Of a pistol, with
which he held up the %janitor and es-
capped. He was followed by the jailor
and a posse and killed, as he would not
surrender. Exactly how the pocket
books will be disposed of is not stated,
but judging from the results of several
enterprises of his kind in the past, the
owners of Blanck's skin will have
no difficulty in disposing Of their manu-
featured stock. One Of the inhuman
practices brought to light by the inves-
tigation set on foot by General Benja-
min r. Butler into the affairs of the
Tewkesbury (Mass.) poorhouse was the
SHINING of dead patients and the max
Ing of souvenirs of various kinds of the
skins, for which the keepers or others in
the scheme found a ready market. The
same state of affairs is said to have
existed at the Ohio State Prison, in Co.
lumbus, fifteen years ago. Prisoners
were knocked ii the head Or shot on the
slightest provocation by the keepers
and guards, who were all banded to-
gether for the traffic in human skin
souvenirs. These outrages finally be-
came so fragrant that an investigation
was held, which~resulted in the turning
out OF all the keepers and guards in the
prison. None of the men were ever
prosecuted, as it was impossible to get
tai. gible evidence. There must have
been money in this human skin traffic or
the men engaged in it would not have
taken such chances. There are many
persons whose morbid tastes make them
delight in the possession of Just such

FROM EMPLOYEES
An Interesting story on the Career Of One
of the Most Prominent and Popular
Manufacturers Of the Anthra-
cite Regional Man Of
the People,

The nomination of Hester S. Albright for
Sheriff by the Republicans was eminently
WISE 1t was wise for many reasons. Among
them we may enumerate some while others
will suggest themselves to those who are
familiar with the circumstances and with
the candidate. The people haYe already de-
eiared themselves in favor Of business
methods in all administrative offices. Such
a position is that Of the office of the Sheriff.
The citizens Of sohuylkill county want COM
petent and capable man to wear the mantle Of
Sheriff Scott when he retires from office,
the duties of which he has so we'll discharged
with honor to himself and a credit to the
Republican party. The Office of Sheriff is
one in which the intricacies of its admins
trations are numerous. To discharge them
faithfully and well it is required to have an
incumbent who will bring with him special
requirements, the result Of thorough business
training. Such a man is Hester s. Albright.
His wonderful success in the business he is
engaged in is one strong corroboratiOn of the
statement that he has the qualifications in a
great degree TO perform the duties of that
Office with dispatch with fidelity to the
people and according to business methods.
