The truth Of the matter was that Ar
thur Smiths head was size too large for
his hat. This trouble is not uncommon
among young men. despite the fact that II
generally leads to unfortunate results, I'M
less early nipped in the bud.
This particular young man had been
made quite good deal OF by his employer,
Mr.. Rushworth, who saw the makings ofsl
bright business man out of the young fell
low, and SO had pushed him ahead and
treated him with more than the usual
amount OF consideration shown by business
men to their clerks lie had invited him
10 his house. and instructed his daughter
to act graciously toward the young man.
And OF course all this had turned the poor
boys head, and at the time OF the present
story he was--in his own estimati0n-a
very much il-uscd and misunderstood
young man.
The cause OF this sad mental attitude
WAS Miss Amy, his employers daughter,
with whom he was in love. but who, to
tease him. chose 10 ignore his budding pas
sion In such manner that the young man
took umbrage and revenged himself on the
young lady by refusing each and every in
Niaton extended TO him from that source.
So after awhile Mr.. Rushmore ceased to
ask him trusting TO time and u little oX
perience to bring him to his senses.
But Arthur took the thing more serious
ly than was expected He began to lose a
great deal OF his usefulness; his appear
ance decidedly deteriorated, and MIR. Rush
more heard several vague rumors OF the
company that no kepe after office hours
that disturbed him, for he realized that
perhaps he himself had been to blame IN
his treatment OF the youngster. Iio talked
seriously with him and tried 10 bring him
10 a better frame OF mind. but With no re-
suit. Finally he told him that unless he
managed TO attend TO his duties better that
he would have TO dispense with HIS ser
vices. It was only Ii threat meant to wake
the young man up. but the hreat wae
enough to still moro embittcr him

denunclations OF the "tyrant" and the

greater inducements for the location OF
industries and manufacturing plants
than Wisconsin, with its limitless iron
ore deposits, abundance of hardwood
timber, numerous clay, kaolin and mari
beds, and other advantages. The Wis

find excellent locations for plants, with
facilities for reaching markets every
where. Reliable information will be

The Lumber Market.

There is manifest distinctly better
tone in the white pine market at large
There is not much, if any, increase in
consumers demands. for while there is
a revival Of consumption in the central
and eastern states, this Improvement is
probably fully balanced by the cessa-
ton of trade in the west, owing to the
floods and other abnormal conditions
But the disposition to order lumber as
soon as it is possible to 10 so with anv
satisfaction, is so plainly manifested by
the retailers that the wholesalers are
taking heart and are placing orders
with more freedom than for some time
past.
Buyers are plentiful at the northern
mills just now, but the east has for
some time past been the most promi-
nently represented. Within the last
week, quite heavy blocks have been
sold to wholesalers, and there is cheer
fulness on the part of the buyers that is
infectious. Business in so many lines is
showing an Improvement that even if
Iumbermen are not, in important sec
tons, experiencing an Improvement in
their business, they must necessarily
conclude that such improvement can
not be long delayed. Butwhere weather
conditions will permit, the demand is
unquestionably reviving.
The long hoped FOR revival Of trade
seems at last to be making itself felt
Improvement, though manifest, is not
large, but even in its present modest
degree is very welcome Chicago Tim

AROUND KEY WEST.
Continued from Fourth Page

 next three years Modern disappearing guns are to be mounted in sand pits, the fort is to be lowered one story and then things will be at least modern. The engineers are at work in row of houses and offices near the fort, and admission to the place has been re- fused of late. It is alleged that one reason for this is that two Spanish gentlemen were found photographing and drawing plans of the interior of the fort three months ago.
 The works of peace tell brighter tale. The custom house and post office of Key West is beautiful building, costing one hundred thousand dollars. It adjoins the naval storehouse and the government wharf a fine modern structure, at which one may always see the vessels of the white squadron coal ing. The coal docks, where ten thou sand tons are always on hand, hold the next part of the water front, protected by a sea wall almost equal to that of Lincoln Park, though scarcely as long. Then comes the beautiful home of the commandant of the port, and, in geo. graphical succession, the machine shop and foundry, the engineering corps, the first martello tower and the second martello tower. This is how the United States occupies four miles of the water front of Key West, looking off to Cuba. Chicago Record.

MIR. FANNING's GOODNESS.
Averted a Panic at an Odd Fellows
 Session in Canada.

I
 Session in Canada.
 Hartford Aug. 17.-Leopold de LeeuW, of the firm of Solomon and de Leeuw and Edward S. Tanning, engineer at Capewell Horse Nail company, return ed yesterday from their ten days trip in the Maritime provinces of Canada. They visited the grand lodge of Odd Fellows of the lower provinces, B. N. A.. at Pietou, on the 11th inst, some twenty delegates being in attendance from the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton.
 The sessions were held in the Pietou academy, and at the evening session the experience gained by MT. Tanning in the Hartford fire department, where he was formerly an engineer, assisted largely in preventing what might have been a serious calamity. A large kero- sene lamp suspended from the ceiling in the reception room in front of the main entrance to the hall where the sessions were being held, fell from it's fastening and scattered the oil, which immediately burst forth in a huge flame, cutting off the exit at that point. Mir. Tanning sprang from the entrance and, assisted by others, seized some rugs and burlaps, and stamped out the flames, and wrapping the lamp therein dragged it down four flights of stairs into the open air.
 When the fire department arrived the danger was all over and their services were not needed.

Henry Carlson, Russian Exile, Work ed for Millionaire McAlpin Greenwich, Conn, Aug 17.-General w. H. McAlpin, the millionaire tobac- co man, who is spending the summer with his family at Crest View, has lost his coachman, Henry Carlson, who has recently come into a fortune by the death of his parents in Russia. On hearing the news Carlson inme- diately gave notice that he would quit at the end of the month. The property is worth $70,000, of which he has al- ready received $1S,000. He is an exile and fears the rest of his estate may be confiscated. In consequence he has sought the aid of the Russian consul in | New York.
 | He admits that Carlson is an assum-
 ed name. He says his family is one of
 the most prominent in Russia He
 served in the Russo-Turklsh war and has three medals for bravery. He own-
 ed many horses in Russia, and under.
