Children's Stories.

In looking over some stories written and sent hy children to the young peo- ple's department of paper some curi- GUS points were noticed. Part of the stories were wildly imaginative. The heroes of them went through experiences that out Gullivered Gulliver. But after all their adventures the manikins al- ways came home safely, laden with glory and trophies, to re a te their valor- ous deeds and wonderful experiences to admiring hearers.
 The child story teller loves satisfac- tory ending. He has no patience for the i'll contrived methods which bring the hero through one experience safely only to plunge him into another and leave him there to get out as best he may. The princes and the knight must marry and live happily ever after, enjoying the happiness attending such glorious actions before the story ends. Jack must supper before we leave him.
 In the mere humble tales of everyday life strong point is the little authors sincere belief in the absolute working of a righteous law. The good boy inva- riably comes out triumphant and is re- warded with kisses and cakes The bad boy is as surely brought to confusion. The career of the wicked youth who defes authority will not learn his les sons, quarrels with smaller boys or takes lis fathers gun without leave, is cut sLeIt by an opportune policeman, by the paternal switch or perhaps by fall out of the boat or, again, by the measles Somehow the childish author shows that, in his opinion, the law should be satisfied and the wrongdoer should suffer.
 It is quite possible that these little writers have behaved badly or missed lessops occasionally themselves, but the artless confessions of their moral tales convince us that they do not do it with out bricks of conscience. In the depths of their naughty little hearts they are quite sure that they deserved the fate which they so ingenuously deal out to the doughty heroes of their stories.- Philadelphia Ledger.

 MT. Tillman Dem.) of South Caroli- na openly threatened a filibuster until next December if cotton bagging and cotton ties were not restored to the free list, but the threat was regarded as somewhat facetious.
 The sugar amendments occasioned a long debate. during which Mir. Allison stated that the conference rates were lower than those of the senate and largely concession to the house. Sen- ators Vest Jones, Berry and White questioned this statement, urging that the Sugar trust secured larger benefits from the conference schedule than from any previously offered.
 The lumber amendment also brought out animated criticism from Senators Teller and Pettigrew.
 The senate passed a joint resolution authorizing and requesting the presi- dent to take all necessary steps for the release of the Competitor prisoners from prison in Havana.

boat struck another bee line for us. 1 suppose, more properly speakin, the whale did. Gosh! How she did come kitin! Frank quit foolin with the line an just hung on. I reckoned the boat was movin faster'n ever, only she didn' t throw so much water, cause she set down almost to her rowlocks. We stood speechless while she was drivin for us. When she got within 100 yards the mate took big breath an let fly.
 "fJump, you - Dutch lubber, or you're dead man..
 "But he didn't jump an I see him gittin ready for another dive under old Liz.
 q grabbed up bucket, climbed on the rail an when the boat came near enough I let drive at Frank, hopin to knock him overheard if hit him. He seen it comin, dodged all just as the boat went tail up again yelled:
 "'I can't swimp
 Down went the boat like a soundin lead, an this time we all slid over to starboard to see her come up. Seven or eight seconds passed, maybe, an then about 1 5 fathoms off our beam up come the boat, bottom Gp. oh, Lord, groancd the cook, he's a gonerP But he warn't. No, sir. The boat hadn't travelled 20 yard afore she righted, an we seen Franks head bob up over the gunnel. Well, old whale didn't run so far this time, for he broke water few hundred fathoms off. In about minute be sent up stream of blood. I seen that the harpoon was a good throw an he wasn't goin to fightlong.
 'I sent the second boat out after him, but they didn't git far fore down goes the whale for the third time, an in a second the little boat slowed again, an we knew he was comin at us. There warn't no way to stop the whale, so we just waited again, while the little boat made tracks for US like she was goin to ram. Just when reckoned by the line out that the whale was passin under us there was tremendous bang, an every mothers son was throwed flat. Old Liz rolled to starboard an then back to port an lay rockin while we got up. Reckon you guess what happened, doc. That whale miscalkilated. He laid his course uuC dS SILK, Uul HIS eleNdGlOu WdS Ou q couple of points. He didn't fetch deep enough an hit old Liz welt tha'd like to rip the keel off her. That settled the business too. We looked over the rail an seen some bloody water, then flip per, an soon big, black body fioated up alongside. There was our whale, sir, dead as hunk of salt pork, with the ton of his head half torn off He was a blue whale, dec, an he measured close to 62 feet. What become of the Dutch man? Why, the boat slowed down when the whale rammed us an the other boat took him off. Hurt? No. He went to work cuttin up that whale along with the rest of 'em. I did hear afterward that he was grumblin cause twas his bucket I throwed at him an it warn't t picked up. Right lively whale, warn't it, doc?''

SENTENCED TO DEATH.
No New Trial For Schulz. the Pcnnsyl
 vania Wife Murderer.

Milford, Pa, July 21.-Judge Purdy has refused to grant the motion for a new trial in the case of Herman Paul Schulz. Sentence of death was then passed upon the prisoner. Schulz. on June 13. after a trial which lasted a week, was convicted of the murder of his wife. Schulz still maintains his innocence. He says that there was no reason why he should have killed the woman. Mrs. Schulz was found dead in bed, having died from a bullet wound.
 Schulz said he found her dead in the morning and claimed that he had not heard the pistol shot. He expressed the belief that she had committed suicide. After her burial Schulz was arrested in New York city when about to sail for Europe, the charge of murder hav- ing been sworn out by his son. The jury after hearing the evidence was convinced that Schulz had murdered his wife and returned a verdict to that eff
