A wOMAN's CHARITY.
And After ALI She Found She Had
Made a Mistake.


The Mount Pleasant man dropped of
the yellow car and hurried down q
West Side street home as if he thought
1T was the best place on earth. And
1t was to him, for he has wife VIII
is one OF the best and kindest women
the Lord ever directed into the pleasant
paths of that suburb When he had
reached the house and had stretched
himself in comfortable place to have
bit OF otium cum dignitate ere the
dinner hour, his wife came out to see
IL he was all right and to chat with
him a moment on the affairs of the
day.
Anything happened to stir up the
country out this way since I left?" lie
inquired, good naturally.
Nothing ! can recall now" she re-
piled, placidly. Yes" she added, "a
soldier called this morning and asked
for something to eat or little money.
"A soldier?" repeated the husband.
How do you know he was a soldier
He had a brown linen coat, like tbs
soldiers wear"
That is hardly a safe sign, my dear"
But he told me he Was one" she
insisted, and there was tone of pain
in her voice, as if she felt hurt that
her husband could think so harshly
of one of the nations defenders.
What did he tell you, dear?" he
asked very kindly.
HE told me he was with Dewey at
Santiago she said, almost triumph
antly.
How was that?" asked the mani
why" she ran on, 'he told me he
was with Dewey at Santiago, and he
told me how the battle was won and
how he was a cavalryman and his
horse threw him and famed him, but
he still fought on and the flag foated
at last over a defeated enemy. I don't
think, I ever heard more thrilling
tale, and / gave him all he could eat,
the poor, brave fellow, and half a
dollar besides. 1t was all I had, or I
would have given him a dollar
did he tell you all that, dearie?" ne
smiled tenderly.
Something there was in his manner
that made her suspicious, and for a
moment she looked at him fixedly and
thinking hard.
George" she exclaimed at last,
clutching his sleeve, 1T wasn't Dewey
at Santiago, was it?" Washington
Star.

A little girl explained Gods omni-

without going there A little boy, re-
f1ecting ON the misdeeds Of Satan, said
to @his mother, Ma, Satan must be a
great trouble to God, mustn't he? 1

There was another large audience at
the Orpheum last night, which APP
plauded Under the Dome to the
echo. The engagement closed the
managerial connection with the Or
pheum of Frank r. Clifton. 1t is with
unconcealed regret that the theater-
goers see Mr.. Clifton's relation with
the Orpheum severed. During his
management he has satisfied the
patrons of the house; his business re-
1ations have been of the best, and his
bearing in the community has COM
manded for him respect and esteem.
This morning George w. Ficks takes
charge of the Orpheum as sole lessee.
He will open his season with Dailey's

TEE FINEST AND Fastest
TRAIN IN THE West

This hend-line rfers to the
twcnty-eight hour train between
Denver and Chicago vim the z. p.
d, & G. Ry., Union Pacific r: r.
and Chicago s: North Western Hy-,
which was inangnrated Feb. 9Th
The time Of this train is five
hours faster than the former sched-
ule between Donver ind Chicago,
land its average speed is greater
than that attained by any other
train savc the limited trains be-
tween Chicago and Now York.
Leaving Denver each afternoon at
80, this train reaches Chicago at
|S.45 p. M. tho following day-but
one night and day being con-
sumed in the trip from the Rockies
to the Great Lakes feat in rail-
roading which a few years ago--was
thought impossible.
The equipment Of this train is
entirely new and comprises the
most modern ideas which hive in
recent years been applied for the
comfort and convenience OF travel
ers. There is, besides the regu-
lmtion baggage and mail cars, COM
posite ar-somcthing entirely new
in the Vest which is combina-
tion of library, parlor, smoking
room and buffet, in which there is
a bath room and bnrbcr shop
presided over by first class ton
sorial artist; a modern chair car,
two OF the most recent Pullman
Palace slccpers, and finally a
dining car in which meals will be
served equal to tho best restaurants
in the country and on the la carte
plan-pay only Tor what you eat.
AS to the outward appearance, the
train is of uniform color with the
new-wide vestibule ends, which
gives the appearance 10 the train
of being one continuous palace car
with little observation compart-
ment Mt regular intervals.
This train will certainly prove
most popular, especially as no ex-
cess fare is charged on it, the same
rates applying as on inferior and
slower trains.
