half-past eleven o'clock Saturday night
some one broke into the office OF the

trance was effected by prying up a win

looks with suspicion upon this robbery.
1t is thought that the thief was some one

perfectly familiar with the fact that the
safe was not locked. The fact that three
watchmen were about the premises all
night adds to the mystery.

News Papers at Manila.

The Vos Espanalo, a rabid anti
American paper, has been suppressed
by the authorities and its editor ar
rested for printing libelous articles !;
the Diario de Manila, which was
founded in lS49, has suspended publ
cation, and two others, the Oceania
and Pana and Commerce., are daily
expected to follow suit. On the other
hand a dozen Filipino papers are in
circulation and any number of Amer
lean publications. The Manila Times

Mr.. Spurqeon's Rat-kil!inu.

The earliest business venture of the
late Charles H. Sturgeon and its in
fluence on his character is described in
his autobiography.
The great preacher was brought up
on Watts hymns, but not altogether
willingly. His grandmother coaxed
him with money to learn them. At
first she gave him penny but when
she saw how easily it was earned, the
old lady reduced the prize to a half
penney and then to farthing. There
is no telling how low the amount per
hymn might have fallen, but just at
this time his grandfather made dis
covery which seemed more desirable
to Sturgeon.
He discovered that his house was
overrun with rats, and offered HE
grandson shilling q dozen for all he
could kill.
The occupation of rat-killing gave
himmore money than learning hymns.
"But," Mr.. Sturgeon characteristical-
ly says, IL know which employment
has been the more permanently profit
able to me-"

Power Of Forgiveness.

The power of forgiveness even TO
an offense against human law Is wei
illustrated in the following incident:
A soldier was about to be brough
before his commanding officer fol
some ofense. He was an old offend.
er, aud had often been punished.
"Here he is again." said the officer
on his name being mentioned; fog
ging, disgrace, solitary confinement
everything has been tried on him."
Whereupon the sergeant stepped for
ward and, apologizing for the liberty,
said: "There is one thing which has
never been done with him yet, SIR"
"What is that ?" said the officer.
"Well, sir" said the sergeant, "he
has never been forgiven "
"Forgiven I" exclaimed the colonel,
surprised at the suggestion. He re-
flected few minutes, ordered the cul-
prit to be brought in, and asked him
what he had to say to the charge.
Nothing, sir" was the reply, "only
/ am sorry for what / have DONE"
Turning a kind and pitiful look on
the man, who expected nothing else
than that his punishment would be
increased with the repetition OF the
offense, the colonel addressed him,
saying:
swell, we have tried everything
with you, and now we have resolved
YOU"
The soldier was struck dumb with
the tears started in his
,yes, and he wept like a child. He
vas humbled to the dust, and, thank
ng his officer, he retired--to be the
I'D refractory, incorrigible man?
No from that day forward he was a
lew man. He who told the story had
lin for years under his eye, and

The Ashes Of Columbus Removed

The ashes of Columbus were trans
ferred from the cathedral to the Condo
de Venadito at Havans, Cuba. Dec, IL
A large company of notables attended
upon the removal. The steel casket
containing the remains of the discov-
eter of America was examined by
Senior Gown in the presence of the
Captsin General and other high Span
ish officials, and found to be intact.
1t was then borne to the cathedral
steps by the canons amid the toiling
of bells and placed on gun carriage,
heavily draped with flags and decorat-
ed with floral gsrlands.
A solemn procession then moved to
the wharf, where the casket was taken
in launch, between lines of 25 men
of-war boats to the cruiser. A salute
of 10 guns was fired. At intervals of
a quarter of an hour all day single
gun doomed the honors paid to an
Admiral.
The squadron, which is composed
of.the Condo de Vensdito, then sailed |
for Cadiz.

Prompt People.

Don't live single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to be
done in it, and going straight through
it from beginning TO end. Work,
play and study-whatever it is, take
hold at once, and finish up squsrely !;
then TO the next thing without letting
any moments drop between. 1t is
wonderful to see how many hours
these prompt people contrive to make
in day; it is as if they picked up
the moments which the dawdlers lost.
And if ever you find yourself where
YOU have so many things pressing up
on you that you hardly know how to
begin, let me tell you a secret. Take
hold of the very first one that comes to
hand, and you will find the rest all
fall into file and follow after like a
OF well-drilled soldiers; and
though work may be hard to meet
when it charges in a squad, it is easily
it you bring it into line.

you can do today is good proverb,
