THE MoNEyLEss MAN.


=
Amateur Tramp.
/ 1t was nearing noon. and was varv
hungry. The question of earning a
meal was no longer an interesting spec
ulation, but a pressing necessity. I
turned all my attention to that. A
large iron gateway leading into ceme-
| terry attracted me. Several ragged, tow
| headed children were playing about the
lodge. One Of them told me that his
father was inside. and he indicated the
general direction of the tombstones. I
found the digger sweating freely in a
haif-hnished gave, and Instantly Offer
ed my help as means of earning
dinner. The grave-digger was an Irish
man. He leaned at ease upon his spade,
and soberly looked me over, and then
declined my offer. He was polite, but
not at all communicative man, and
ne met my advances with the one re-
mark that his odd woman" was not at
home.
A little farther on saw three women
IN pursuit of hen. eagerly volunteer
cd my help, and asked for dinner in
payment. They quit the chase, and
stood confronting me with serious
faces, while l eloquently pleaded my
readiness to help them. Nothing In the
situation seemed to strike them as
strange or irregular, but they touched
upon 1t with short, grave speech, until
l had the feeling of something momen-
tous, and accepted their refusal with
sense Of relief.
At last in the outskirts Of the village
OF Westport l found man moving
his lawn, and he was willing to give
me q dinner for completing the work.
MY final success in getting an odd Job
was splendid stimulus. I urged the
mower oyerthe lawn with vigor that
surprised me, and the dinner which I
ate in the dim corner Of an immaculate
Kitchen was a liberal return for the
labor
All that long summer afternoon I
went from house to house, asking sub
scriptions for the magazine. The rack
would have been easier upon my feel
ings, but was eager to discover some
ready way of approaching people. Not
even the loafers at-the station were in
the least inclined to share their COM
pany with me. At nightfall earned, by
saving wood for an hour, a supper and
the right 70 sleep in an unused barn.

FOREVER AND A DAY.

It's little that mind
How the blossoms, pink or white,
At every touch OF wind
Eau a-trembling with delight;
For in the leafy lane,
Beneath the garden boughs,
And through the silent house
One thing alone seek.
Until she comes again
The May is not the May,
And what she calls a week
Is forever and a day!

If the blackbird on the bough

With his soft crescendo now;
For she is gone away,
And when she went she took
The springtime In her look,
The peachblow on her cheek,
The laughter from the brook,
The blue from out the May
And what she calls a week

WRECKED ON
ENGLISH SHORES
Steamship Mohegan Ran on
a Rock off Lizard.

FALMOUTH, Oct. 16.-The British
steamer Mohegan, Captain Griffiths,
belonging to the Atlantic Transport
Company. has been wrecked in the
vicinity of Lizard between the Mana
fas and the Lowlands. It is believed
about 143 persons of the passengers
and crew we're drowned.
The Mohegan left for New York
Thursday, having on board as far as
ascertained at present 80 passengers
and crew OF lis. When tho steamer
was seen in diatress lifeboats went out
from the shore and every effort was
made to save the passengers. The
coast at this point is extremely danger
Gus and has been the scene of numer-
Gus wrecks. The general opinion is
the machinery of the Mohegan be-
came disabled during heavy eastern
gale, which was blowing, and that she
ran ashore and foundered.
From the best evidence ohtainable
at ST. Keveriue it appears the Mohe-
gan foundered five minutes after she
struck the rocks. She was going ct
full speed, struck twice, stopped and
rapidly settled into the water. As the
captain and the executive officers went
down with her it has been impossible
thus far to ascertain how she got out
Of her course, as Falmouth light and
the coast were visible.

Fooled at Their Game.

Yesterday forenoon Harry Gilpin
was coming into town With load of
wheat, ard when he arrived at the
cross roads beyond Three Mile he met
two nicely dressed men in buggy.
They asked Mr.. Gilpin to stop and
take some advertising bills tn de-
sired circulated for New York firm.
While talking to him one OF them
climbed into his wagon, displaying
two tin boxes, ole of which contained
a number of gold watches and the
other $65 in bills. He invited Mr..
Gilpin to pay him S. for chance in a
drawing that was sure winne-, the
holder of the ticket being certain to
draw a watch or the S65. The game
had no charms for Mr.. Gilpin how
ever and be told them they might
move on.
This pair is evidently brace of con-
Hdence men who are travelling through
the country seeking to swindle whom
ever they can. The people through
out the country are advised to look out
for them.

SALEM, Oct. 14.-The passage of the
general appropriation bill by the
house was the feature of the legislative
proceedings yesterday, though it did
not come up in that branch till the
middle of the afternoon. 1t was con
sidered more than an hour in com
mittee of the whole. where S7540 20
was added to it, the chief addition
being $1,000 to give full pay to the
mem bers of the house that failed to
organize in 1897. Tne committee had
allowed only the pay for five days, as
provided by the constitution. The
specific appropriation of S45, 200 for in.

fore the house. The total sum of the

Three Men Walk on With the swag Fror
a Roulette Game.
About IL O'Clock last night bold
hold-up occurred in the Baldwin sa.
loon. There were two games running
il the rear room of the. saloon-a fare
and roulette game-the latter being
run by John Bennett. There were no
players at the roulette table, the boss
giving the wheel a turn, stepped over
to the faro game leaving his money on
the table. While standing there three
strangers. who are following the races
entered the room, and one of them
borrowed dollar of player at the
faro game, then all three passed out
the door, when Mr.. Bennett noticed
that his money-slOO in gold and $50
in bills-had disappeared. He caught
two of the men at the door, but the
third escaped, though was afterwards
captured in another saloon.
The three men were searched, but
no money was found on them, how
ever Mr.. Bennett is quite confident
they are the ones who got the money.
The men are in the custody of the
officers, and thorough inves tigation
will he made.

The First Day Opened Favorably with

The opening day of the fair, was all
that could be expected. The weather
was perfect, the day being calm and
bright, and the attendance at the
track was fairly good.
The first race was quarter mile
dash, in which the entries were
Stranger, Pat Tucker, Dutch Mollie,
DItch, Lou Watkins and Harry N,
though only Stranger, Dutch and
Harry N started. The race was q
pretty one, the horses all getting off
we'll together, Harry N forging to the
front until the home stretch was
reached, when Dutch passed him,
and came under the wire half length
in the lead. Harry N took second
money and Stranger made a good
third.
The exhibit of live stock is a COM
plete failure, there only being two
cattle and coop of chickens on ex-

have no competitors.

Abarzusa Does Not Believe

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-A special t,

Senior Abarzusa, a member of th,
Spanish peace commission, was inter-

"Has the United States demanded
the whole PHILIPPINE group?" was ask.
ed.
"She has not, so far" replied Senor
Abarzusa, "aDd will, think, be con-
tent with the Ladrones, or part of
them, perhaps with Guam, which she
has already taken, However, as to
that can only give my impression"
Has the United States displayed
great magnanimity in not demanding
Indemnify"
Cuba is indemnity, according to
our view. The commissions will not
have to consider any question of money

SIS there no claim for the Maine?"
"lhat does not fall within the scope
of the commission"
SIS 1t true that serious hitch has
arisen between the commissions and
that break in negotiations is pos
sible?''
"This rumor is ridiculous, exagge-
ration. No hitch has arisen.''
"On what ground can Spain ask the
United States to assume the Cuban
debt?''
"Cuba is the key to the Gulf of Mexi.
co and has long been necessary to the
United States. For that reason alone
she might take upon herself the Cuban
debt. When the United States gets
Cuba she will instantly secure control |
Of the customs. which will enable her !

You imply that Spain's reli nquish-
nent of sovereignty means Ameri can
rot Cuban independence?
Certainly: our relinquishmen means

to face his constituents. Others talked
in the same vein and all wanted the
matter deferred until the regular ses.
sion. McCnlloch said he did not
believe in rewarding the hold-up leg
islators, gho though their failure TO
organize and legislate cost the state
about 500, ZOO in interest alone.
Curtis and Flagg pointed out that
although provision was made for
allowing the members of this abortive
legislature full time, The secretary of
state was not obi yed to issue them
warrants for over five days service in
compliance with the law. Moreover
they figured out that if the general
appropriation bill was defeated at this
session it would cost the state about
S32. 900 more in interest up to the next
session. This argument was unan-
swerable, and carried the day.

eight useful vessels which recently

are row attached to Admiral Dewey's
squadron, two are credited 60 the
North Atlantic station. and the last is
the Infanta Maria Teresa, now under
her own steam, preparing to start for
Norfolk to be made ready for active
service.
Several days ago the navy depart

of vessels in service, which is GUS

list of the prizes he was now utilizing

of the service, and to strengthen his
