THAT there is an honesty rising
superior to business avarice even in
this sordid age appears from the ex-
perience Of a Topeka sporting man.
He wrote to a cigarette company
that he had saved the pictures in
1900 packages of cigarettes which he
had smoked, and asked what prize
the company would offer for them.
He received an answer saying that
the company would give him a coffin
if he would smoke as many more.

not the document disposng of millions
of dollars is II forgery. The camera
has been made by Theodore Kytka, Il
handwriting expert of San Francisco.
He was employed to investigate the
pencil will the day on which ii was
filed.
Believing 1t to be n forgery, Charles
Fairs attorneys, Knight X Haggerty,
decided to take every possible means
to establish Kytka's theory. SO they
built this camera.

Viola Allen has been writing to the
New York papers about the seamy
side of stage life. and the burden of
her story seems to be that monotony
of the dreariest sort is the curse of
existence behind the scenes. On this
subject she says: IF you are in Il

in the various plays are very much
the same. Miss \. must at times dur

His Address Upon His Departure irJm
Canton 10 Washington.
Standing upon the platform of the
rear coach of his train President-elect
Mckinley on the morning of his de-
parture for Washington, addressed the
thousands who had gathered to wish
him farewell in these words:
MY Neighbors and Friends and Eel
low Citlzens-On the eve of departure
to the seat of government, soon to as
sumo the duties of an arduous respon-
sibllity as great as can devolve upon
any man, nothing could give me greater
pleasure than this farewell greeting
this evidence of your friendship and
| sympathy, your good Will. and, | am
sure, the prayers of all the people with
whom | have lived so long, and whose
confidence and esteem are dearer to
me than any other earthly honors.
ITO all of us the future is sealed
book; but if | can. by official act, or
administration. or utteranee in any
degree add to the prosperity of our be-
loved country and the comfort and we'll
being of our splendid citizenship, |
will devote the best and most unseltish
efforts of my life. The assumption OF
the Chief Magstracy is of such grave
importance that craftsmanship cannot
blind the judgment or accept any other
consideration but for the public good
of all to every party and every section.
With this thought uppermost in my
mind, | reluctantly take leave of my
friends and my neighbors. eherishing
in my heart the sweetest memories of
my old home my home now, and, l
trust, my home hereafter, so long rs [
live. thank you and bid you all
good-by."
OF hymns his fayorito is that old
Methodist composition:
There is n Wilderness in Gods mercy
Like the Wilderness of tue sea;
There's kindness In his justice,
Which is more than Liberty.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of mans mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
lsmost wonderfully kind
If our love were but more simple
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would he all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
