Why They Are Slow Givers.

1t is not only an easy task but rather
a pleasing diversion, for those having
nothing, to plan charitable or benevolent
work to be done when fortune shall
have smiled upon them but when the
latter remote contingency occasionally
happens the philanthropy that planned
has worn itself ont and sordid seltishness
rules instead. Many years ago, says a
writer in Washington's .Nagq2'Qe, | in-
voluntarily overheard a conversation be-
tween a young mar and one several
years his senior, in which the latter
asked: suppose you had 600. 400, what
would you do with it?'
I'D give a good portion OF il to help
along a lot OF poor devils whom |
know was the prompt response.
Yes" returned the other. you would
II you got it in a minute, but if you &C.
cumulated it by years of labor you'd
hold on to it as others do"
That is doubtless the key TO the
situation, and yet If we give what costs
us nothing nothing of labor or thought
or anxiety, there is not involved the
s~eIf-sacritice that makes true charity a
sweet SAVIOR.
1t may be contended that benefac,
tions are frequently made by the rich
that enable charitable organizations ia
fulfill their mission; but these gifts are
rendered less praiseworthy by the
suspicion, too often welLgrounded, that
publicity is sought rather than philan.

Rubbed Out an Old score.

The game of bluff" in honest hands
is seldom a winning one, yet an honest
young man evened mp a loss II day
last week through the first bit of bluff"
he had eve tried in his life.
He hailed from New England and g
norant OF New York railroads was max
ing a trip to Mamaroneck on the New
York, New England and Hartford line.
Promised bv the conductor that he
should be warned when nearing the
station. he realized nothing until he had
reached Stamford, when the forgetful
official turned up TO inform him regret
fully that he was a dozen miles beyond
his destination.
And shall | have to pay my fare
back?" ne inquired.
Don't exactly see how You could get
back any other way WAS the reply.
With a sense of unjust treatment. the
young man purchased a ticket and rode
back in the next train.
He made the same trip again two
days later. This time he knew Just
where his station was but falling into q
sound sleep he let himself be carried
past it until by a strange coincidence
he found himself again at Stamford.
With al air of Injured independence he
boarded the next train back.
See here. conductor" he said. adj
dressing that functionary, I've been
carried through The stupidity OF another
of your blooming conductors twelve
miles out Of my way, and if you sup
pose I'm going to pay you for taking
me back again you're pretty far out.
You may call for any fare you please.
I'll not pay it. There's a lot more than
that due me for my inconvenience
"Ail right, sir" answered the conduc-
tor meekly, completely overawed by
the apparent depth of resentment con-
fronting him.
I'm even with that company" MUIR

when he stepped off the train.

Would Not Knit to Prove Innocence

Chicago Tribune.
Mrs. Wallis Kosboreck. whose other
name Is Annie Bertz, did not knit her
way to freedom Thursday. She told
Judge Gibbons on Tuesday some shawls
which the police found in her company
the other day were not acquired by
questionable means, but were the work
OF her own patient hands. The police
derided Annie's claim and made cruel
remarks rejecting on her ~veracity.
But" said Annie to Judge Gibbons
II can prove that what / say Is true. ]

you shall see whether or not / am able

1T shall be done" said the judge, and
he forthwith gave orders for needles
and yarn 10 be brought into court thai
the test might be made.
The jury went out on Mrs. Kcsbor-
eck's case and returned a sealed ver-
diet. 1t found Mrs. kosboreek not
guilty on the first count. but left one
count undisposed OF.
Then 1T was expected Mrs. Kosboreck
would sit down before the Judge, while
the clock licked on the mantei shelf and
the black cat purred in front OF the
steam pipe. and ~contentediy knit away

But when the judge said: Mrs. Kos

Santa Fe, y. Nj. March 26.--Presi-

ing topic. Friends Of the condemned
men have in circulation more Jhan a
dozen petitions praying for a commu-
tation of the death sentence, which viii
be executed on April , unless clemency
is granted them.
Tpholders Of The law are also circu.
lating protests against further interfer-
ence with the decision Of the courrs.
The latter are being numerously signed
throughout the territory.
Should President Mckinley again in
t~erfere. It is said an appeal will be made
to congress-. and 1t is not improbable
that a resolution Of inquiry will follow
into the authority of the president to as
sumo jurisdiction in the premises.
Washington dispatches have credited
Archbishop Chapelle with having been
instrumental in securing the first res
pite for the condemned men from Mr..
Cleveland, with the result that the arch
bishop has been severely criticised in
official and church circles throughout
The territory. The reverend gentleman
today stated hat friends OF the prison
ers had used his name in their appeals
to the president without having been
authorized by him 70 do SO.
