A TEXT FROM DR.. ARNOLD.
His Life n Good Illustration Of Frank,
Honorable Dealing.

Honorable Dealing.
One of the subuest temptations of
life is to base our dealings with 9TH
ers, not on our own convictions of
the highest thing to be done, but on
people, with whom we are dealing.
The feeling prevails among a great
many men that one Is bound TO use
his antagonists weapons instead Of
always fighting with his own weap-
ons. II one is dealing, therefore, with
q tricky person, 1t is not right that
one should be tricky himself, but II
il wise that one should treat the per-
son he Is dealing with as likely TO be
tricky, and assume, at every step, that
one is to be met with some trick, and
protect ones self against II. A frank
man, IL he follows his impulses, deals
frankly with every man with whom
he has transactions; but certain kind
os so-called wisdom sometimes
prompts such a man, when he is deal
ing with person Of different nature.
TO attempt to transfer himself from
his own natural plane TO the others
plane. There could be no greater
blunder, no greater sacrifice of oppor-
tunity. To deal with a man on the
highest plane Is TO invite him to stand
or that plane himself. This was very
strikingly illustrated In the career of
DIR. Arnold at Rugby. His habitual
attitude toward the boys in the school
was expressed by the words; IF you
say so, that is enough for me; ofcourse
1 can take your word;" and although
lying TO masters was considered very
good morals at the public schools when
Arnold went to Rugby, the feeling
soon developed in the school that IL
was shame and mean thing TO tell
DIR. Arnold a lie, because he always
believed you. BY treating the boys as
IL they were truthful, DR.. Arnold
shamed them out of their lying to
their masters, and finally revolution
lied the tradition of the school, sub
stituting courage and frankness for
evasion and deception. Never was
there finer illustration OF the fact
that every kind OF dealing which one
man has with another is at the same
time a moral opportunity. This is
true In every business transaction.
Every business man who respects him
self and understands the moral side
OF business knows that IL lies in his
power TO exert definite moral influ-
ence even upon those among his ASSOC
cintes who are most indifferent and
cynical. There are men In every bust
ness community whom everybody
feels that it would be base TO deceive
or take advantage Of, because they are
so habitually honorable, frank and
just. To stand always on the highest
plane ourselves in our dealings with
Others is TO invite them to climb TO the
same elevation.-N. Y. Outlook.

Our friends are vanishing from sight.
They come TO clasp our hands no more:
Just as the shining stars OF night
Glide In behind a cloudy shore;
And hearts will ache and tears Will fall
For those whom death hath lately slain;
We fain would raise the voice and call
The silent dead 10 life again.
And yet We sorrow not as they
Who have no hope their hearts to thrill.
Because the resurrection day
WIN all the deepest longings fill:
For when the trump OF God shall sound.
From sunlit peak 70 Powerful plain.
The dear ones. who In Christ are found
VIM hear It's blast and live again.
Oh! precious message. from the lips
or men Inspired OF God to speak.
Who tell us how deaths dark eclipse

That they viii come with purer grace.

PLAYED BY SECOND VIOLIN.

Impromptu scrennde Delights the
People of "a Lake Front Home.
On the North side, in the shadow OF
one OF the fine residences close TO the
lake front, couple of Italians were
standing, one of them with a violin in
his hands and the other holding harp.
They were playing one OF the popular
waltz tunes of the day, and as the win
dows of the house were opened to tho
summer night the strains Of the music
fioated in 10 where the occupants were
seated. While the waltz was still in
the midst of its swing, tall man, in
long cloak enveioping him, and silk
hat on his head, came around the cor
ner. He paused for n moment, and then
going over to where the Italians were
standing, he produced one dollar and
said TO the men: "Let me play them a
serenade. / play second violin down
town"
In his hands the tall man carried n
violin case. 1t was only minutes
work for him to get his violin out, and
he laid 1t to his cheek and began TO
play. His long right arm. with won
derfully swift, smooth sweep, coursed
up and down the strings with the fly
ing bow. and the music leaped from the
magic shell and fed away into the
night. Higher and higher the echoes
rose, the heavy chords OF the @ string
mingling with the shrill wailings of che
high notes, and the very air around and
about the player seemed charged with
melody.
In the house the people ut first spoke
questioningly, and then sat mute, fear
ing TO lose note of the marvellous flow
OF melody. The music ceased, the peo-
pie rushed 20 the front door and down
the steps. But the tall violinist had
hurriedly thrust his fiddle into It's case
and was striding around the corner be-
fore they could catch glimpse of his
face. They gave the two Italians lib
ernl remembrance before they left, and
days after they learned the name, the
famous name, of their midnight ser
enader. And they will not forget at all
mot in oil time-the music they heard
that night from the second violin.-Chi-
caRo Chronicle.

Wa. i, roally tho faoo OF Horace Jaot.onr

see the station agent at work on the
platform handling some freight. The
fellow really seemed to be ubiquitous.
/ had encountered him in Jacksonville,
In Sonntag's Office, and now again at
the station attending TO his duties.
His back was toward us and he did
not notice the wagon and its occupants.
Sarah pulled up the team at my re-
quest and / climbed down from the
wagon. / was curious TO note again
what effect my presence would have on
the fellow. When / had moved some
distance from the team (for l did not
propose TO endanger Sarah's life in
case he took il into his head 10 fire at
me again), placing my hand on my re-
volver as IL rested in my pocket, /
called to him:
Hello, there! say, you. Skinnerl"
The fellow dropped the truck handles
and turned quickly. Then he fed swift
ly along the platform toward the door
Of the station house, through which he
bolted.
But was not watching him. His
ceived simply because his form was In
the line of vision.
10 was upon the bow-window In the
telegraph Office that my gaze was fixed.
For, at my hail. a face had appeared at
that window, and then was quickly
withdrawn.
Did my sight deceive me, or was II
really the face of Horace Jackson?
Following natural impulse, /
sprang upon the platform and went TO
the door. It was locked. Then I tried
the door leading into the ladies' wait
ing-room, but that was also locked.
I walked around the place n few times
and peered into each window, but no
one was 10 be seen.
IL was no surprise that the fellow
Skinner should wish 20 avoid me, but
IL the other face had seen belonged TO
Jackson, why should he desire 10 hide
from me?
Probably Jackson, having heard that
was residing at Jacksonville, and know
ing that / must therefore have met

platform and climbed back upon the
wagon.

1t Is impossible to convey by words
the seriousness of my lawyers manner
In making these remarks.
When i was conversing with Mr..
Sonntag there was something about
him which compelled me to feel trust
and confidence, Notwithstanding his
many sayings bearing on some secret
purpose which he was so careful not
to reveal.
"well, give up trying TO make you
out" I said, after considering his
words and being impressed by them.
"You certainly are the most inexplica-
BILE specimen of country lawyer.
Who are you, anyhow"
"Your lawyer and agent, and, Mr..
Conway. let me add, In sincerity. your
friend"
Somehow could not but believe him
at the thine. His words carried convic-
ton.
Pardon me for seeming imperti-
nent," Sonntag said, as he accompanied
me to the door, "but have you seen Miss
Morley since your arrival?"
"Yes."

The Horse Market.

In the month of April there were sold at
the two barns where there are weekly auc-
ton sales of horses 3.1S0 horses. OF this
number nearly two thousand were sold for
export. the remainder going to the Central
and New England States. all of which have
buyers here at all sales. AS yet but few
nave been purchased for government serv-
ice. unless 1t was some good saddle horses,
for which there is now a great demand. One
Of the noticeable features at the sales is the
better prices that horses are bringing, they
being higher than at any time in the last
three years: A fine carriage horse or a good
stopper sells at high figures, and the or
binary horse. which for some time past has
been selling at from $$S to s65. will now
horses from the States hat furnish the
market has not perceptibly decreased ship
ments in here. The better prices, however,
are bringing a better class of horses to this
market. The business has become so large
that a change Is contemplated through
which there will be auction sales five In
stead Of two lays of each week. A large
Chicago firm is still negotiating for the
erection of another barn which will hold
LEO horses.

While at the present time a carload of
poultry. eggs or butter is shipped where,
twenty years ago., 100 pounds were sent,
there has never been any change in the
methods of billing. The mar who ships a
barrel Of poultry, a crate of eggs or a tub
of butter gets the same rate as a carload
per 100 pounds on either of the products
named. The large shippers are hoping that
as a result Of the present war in rates on
dairy products there will be a reform which
will lead TO making a lower rate on carload
lots of egg butter and poultry than when
q person makes q small shipment, making
the carload lot a minimum of 900 or $500
pounds. By so doing the railroads would
save much expense, as one car would often
carry as much tonnage as two cars now
do under the present methods of shipmeat.
1t would cost no more to ice a well-loaded
car than it does a half-loaded car. The
larger shippers of produce would favor
such a change, and doubtless the small
shipper would object; still, some of the
s~hrewdest freight officials take the position
that it would be for the interests of the
roads to give a lower rate on carload lots
of poultry, eggs or butter. AS the matter
now stands, the small shipper at a way sta
ton gets just as low rates as a man at a
more important point who loads a car.

PITTSBURG, April 3O.-Second Assistant
Postmaster General w. S. Shallenberger ar
rived in Pittsburg to-day from Washington
en- route to his home at Rochester, Pa.
Mr.. Shallenberger said that orders had been
sent out from Washington directing post
masters throughout the United States to
watch the mails passing through their Of
hces closely, and instracting them to seize
any mail matter that excited suspicion.
When letters Of this character are picked
up, Mr.. Shalenberger said, it was the duty
OF the postmaster to summon the nearest
commanding army officer. Should the sus-
pected mail prove to be detrimental to the
Nation the Secret-service Department would
at once be notified and the proper steps
taken TO effect the arrest Of the culprit. II.
on the other hand, the intercepted matter
was of q proper character, it would be for
warded to the department head at Wash
ington, and from there would be returned
to the original sender with an explanation.
Mr.. ~Shallenberger stated that when mail
was stopped in transit at a country Office
where no administration official was within
reach the postmaster should send the samd
cation, as indicated, could be had. It was
also learned that the recent stories regard
ing reasonable mail matter being picked
up by the department We're substantially
correct. 1t was furthermore stated by Mr..
Shallenberger that it was the duty Of all
good citizens in a crisis of the present kind
to call the PoStofhce Departments atten-
ton to any individual seen mailing letters
whose actions they regarded as suspicious.
Thus every person becomes an Officer Of the
government. He said that a special effort
was making to keep track of all persons
receiving mail from Spain, and that where
much or this matter was delivered to one
individual it would be regarded as a sus-
piciouS circumstance. He stated that many
letters had been received from Spanish
towns ana provinces and the letters turned
over to the proper authorities that con-
tanned much interesting m which
the officials gladly received.
