SHE BURNED HER LETTERS.
They Were Written to Her and She
Didn't Want Them Read
by Everybody.

Personal details relating to celebrated
people are always temptingly interest
ing, but that does not change the fact
that a celebrity is man like other men,
and entitled to privacy of thought and
feeling and friendship.
The old lady was not altogether in the
wrong who had long boarded collec-
ton of precious letters from great men,
and who, in fit of dismay, burned them
all when she reflected that after her
death these cherished personal commu-
nications might become common prop
erty.
Tennyson at any rate sympathized
with her. He once wrote of her to Mr..
Gladstone:
Il heard of an old lady the other day
to whom all the great men OF her time
had written. When Froude's CARLYLE
came out, she rushed up to her room
and to an old chest there wherein she
kept her letters, and flung them into the
fire.
They were written to me- she said,
mot to the public, and she threw them
into the flames till she set her chimney
on fire, and her children and grandchil-
dren ran in.
1.-The chimney's on fire!' they cried.
"'Never mind she said, and went on
burning her letters. I should like to
raise an altar to that old lady, and burn
incense upon it,
1t might certainly be as well if there
were few more people who shared this
old lady's aversion to dragging every
thing before the public.-Youth's Com
paniOn.

HE PREFERRED TO STARvE.
The Singular Effect of Official Charity
on One of Its Proud Spirited
Recipients.

The reporter on his way uptown was
stopped opposite the Irving Place thea
ter by young, thick-set, vigorous man,
with clean face and decent clothes.
Twill you give me 20 cents to pay my
bill for another night at the Mills
house?" he asked. Il am out of work
just now and have no money"
The mans manners were neither in
solent nor cringing. He had the bear
ing of dignified citizen, merely ask
ing favor of brother democrat.
How do I know" asked the reporter,
"what you will do with the money?
You may merely spend it for beer"
''Do I look like drunkard ?" asked
the man, quickly, with note of re-
proach in his voice. 81 don't like to ask
for money" he continued. "But my job
doesn't begin again until next Monday,
and in the meantime must live. don't
want to ask money of my employers.
They will think I'm broke, and that's
always against a man in his own set,
you know. I'd rather ask stranger"
"Why don't you go to some organized
charitable institution?"
81 have was the reply, "but never
shall again. They ask fellow his name
and address, what his habits are, all
about his father and mother, and make
him feel like culprit. I'd rather starve
than be put through it like that"
But people must be careful. There
are a lot of knaves and liars in the
world, you know"
81 know" said the man, with irrita-
ton. But all this caution makes me
tired"
81 will give you something to- eat,'
said the reporter, ''but it is against my
principles to give you the money"
The man hesitated. NO." he said;
''I'm hungry as the deuce, but don't
want to go with you and have you buy
me something and see everybody look
on and say: There's a man feeding
a beggar. It's very uncomfortable, that
sort of thing"
"Well," said the reporter, 'come with
me as my friend. Well sit down to-
gether, and I'll eat, too. Well call for
individual checks, and each shall pay
for himself. I'll pass the money to you
under the table,"
The man agreed to this, and the two
proceeded to a Fourteenth street res
taurant, where they ordered coffee and
sandwiches and paid in the manner
agreed upon, lighted cigarettes and
strolled out together.
Thank you, sir" said the sensitive
man. 81 hope to do the same by you
some day. Good-by!"-N. Y. CONNER

A Smart Cur.

The best jack rabbit catcher in Ne
braska a few years ago was mongrel
dog owned by j. w. Ferguson, of Min
den. He had more brains than the en-
tire pack of well-bred greyhounds. He
always went with the pack to the hunt.
When the jack was started every dog
started in full pursuit save only the
nongrel. He knew too much to run
his short legs off chasing a fool rabbit
that had no more sense than to run in a
circle. Not he! He simply squatted
down in the grass by the side of the
hummock from under which the jack
started, and bided his time. In due sea-
son the jack would heave in sight again,
headed for his starting point. And
right here the mongrel got in his work.
When the rabbit dashed up it was only
to come to an untimely halt between
the sharp teeth of dog that would have
trouble in outrunning Walnut hill car.
When the feet greyhounds came dash
ing up their feelings would suffer a
shock, for their eyes beheld dead jack
rabbit by the side of a dog that could
not boast of long ancestry.-Omaha

Nerve TRAINING

The question of the susceptibility of
the nervous system for training has re-
Gently been discussed. It is believed
that nerves can be cultivated. Accord
ing to the most comprehensive opinion,
a great deal depends on the owner of
the nerves. 1t is possible to train GER
tain classes and conditions, while 9TH
ers are hopelessly unsusceptible. The
will of the individual, the pliability, or
rather the impressionability has every
thing to do with successful nerve train
ing. AS matter of fact, the desire to
be trained must be present first of all.
II comes from within, and, prompted by
the desire of the individual, course of
training may bring about the happiest
results. Training nerves against the
will of the patient reminds one of the
old adage of convincing man against
his will-"he is of the same opinion
still."-N. Y. Ledger.

Mrs. F. A. Dixon, assistant editress of the
Kansas City, Mo-, Sprig of Myrtle, had
catarrh. Being woman actively engaged
In business it was very annoying. However,
her family remedy was Pe-ru-na, and from
its use she experienced great relief Her
husband praises Pe-ru-na very highly and
says he considers it a good investment to
keep it in his home
Pe-ru-na enjoys national reputation as a
catarrh remedy. 1t is the only systemic
catarrh remedy yet devised. A thorough
course of Pe-ru-na eradicates catarrh from
the system. Its cures are permanent. 1t
thoroughly cures very old cases of chronic ca
tarrh that have resisted all other treatment.
Ithas cured cases of twenty-five years stand
ing. People afflicted with catarrh should
begin course of Pe-ru-na at once. The
spring time is the best season for this pur-
pose. The rigors of winter have passed,
with its chilling blast and freezing gales
The blizzard is gone and in its place the
balmy zephyrs of spring have come. A
short course of treatment with Pe-ru-na
now will work wonders Now is the best
time. No set-backs from fresh colds, no
delays from unventilated rooms. People
of high and low station recommend Pe-ru-na.
North, South East and West use it as the
supreme catarrh remedy of this generation.
Everybody should have copy of DIR. Hart

A Remarkable Book.

A Comic History of Greece, from the Ear
Hest Times to the Death of Alexander the
Great. By Charles M. Snyder. Philadel-
phia: j. B. Lippincott Company.
The author of this work has set himself
the task of making truly serious set of cir
eumstances, exceedingly funny. He has
unquestionably succeeded, as he expresses
getting even with the myths and heroes of
antiquity who caused him such anguish in
school days. The Comic History of Greece
is witty and humorous, without being vul-
gar. About $50 illustrations illuminate the
lines from the pencils of a half dozen artists.
The book is truly tickle tonic for the mel.

HYAcINTH SONG.

Sing/a song of hyacinths:
Izarkspur's not so blue,
Never any gallant rose
Gathered from garden-close
Roster blushed than you.
Honey-colored, white as sleep,
Sweet and cold your state you keep
In a careless crowd:
Crocuses that over-gild
Close-cropt lawn and open field.
Snowdrop in her shroud:
Snowy tulips, crystal thin,
Budding prickles of the whin.
Pale anemone;
Yellow tulips, bubble-clear
Lilac, thrift, may all be dear
AS they're fair to see;
Primrose pale and violet,
These / yield without regret.
Sweet though they may be;
Homely sage and snowdrop chill,
Laurel leaf and daffodil:
Hyacinths for me.

People have heard of many blessings
resulting from the war, some of which
are to be realized in the future, but it
remained for the Kansas City Star to
make a unique discovery in this re-
spect. 1t says:
One of the blessings of the war to this
part of America was the dissemination
of a taste and liking for Boston baked
beans. Thousands of young men, in the
great section extending from Texas to
Nebraska, were first introduced to the
wholesome and palatable baked bean
in the army. In its efforts to find a
food suitable for men unacquainted
with army rations the commissary de-
partment hit upon canned Boston beans
as a convenient and nourishing article
of diet. easily obtained and requiring
no special skill in its preparation. These
young men now return 10 the village
and farm and to the western cities with
a knowledge and admiration of the fine
brown Boston bean that will make this
food no longer sectional, but national.
And then just think of the Bostonese
culture that will result from diet of
beansi

WILL NOT BREAK RANKS.

The same forces that are behind Alma
Eldredge's candidacy for the house are
also backing John Henry Smith for the
senate.
This is another evidence of the insin-
certify of the personal opposition to B.
II. Roberts.
In commencing the work of the state
convention the Provo Enquirer, a well
known administration organ, said:
IF the legislature can be carried for
John Henry Smith for senator. and
Alma Eldredge be sent to the lower
house, Utah will regain its lost stand
ing with the dominant party of the
country, for both men would be hon
ored in the councils of Republicanism."
The Enquirer pledged Mr.. Eldredge
to the national Republican platform.
and assured the members of it's party
that, if elected, Alma will never break
ranks with his party"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-10-29
ARE THEY "slLvER MEN,?

People wonder how the Republican
candidate for congressman can call
himself silver man.
That is nothing. Every goldbug ap
pointee of this goldbug administration
now stumDing Utah for Eldredge and
Zane calls himself silver man"
And, according to Mr.. Eldredge's in
depreciation of the ST. Louis platform,
Mark Hanna is also a silver man."
He believes in silver, in certain use
of it. So do all goldbugs. Some of
them are even willing to advocate in
ternational bimetallism." particularly
since Wolcott found there is nothing
in ii.
The Republican state platform on
which Mr.. Eldredge is asking for sup
port, takes the position today that
Brown, Eldredge, Hanna and the rest
took two years ago-that the st. Louis
platform demanded bimetallism.
The state platform declares that the
party has always been bimetallic
party, even in 1896. 1t says:
THE Republican party demands, as
it always has demanded, protection, BIZ
metailism and reciprocity"
If the Republican party demanded BIZ
metallism in 1896, why did Kearns, AL
len and Cannon leave the st. Louis
convention? Why did the organ de-
clare that it would never support a
candidate who believed in such plat
form?

GOV. TANNER MAKES THREATS

Not many days since the whole coun-
try was Mortified at the news of bloody
riots at Virden, Ills. Negroes from the
south who had been hired to work in
the coal mines were not allowed TO stop
at Virden, being fired upon on their ar
rival there.
The governor of Illinois, John NJ.
Tanner, was censured by all parties for
his conduct during the riots, he show
ing himself utterly incompetent to exc
cute the laws or to protect life and
property.
There is some prospect of the diff
culties at yirden being renewed, and
Governor Tanner has declared his DO
sition on the subject of the importation
of laborers from other states into Hi
nois Addressing a large gathering at
Madison, Ills, he said:
Il reiterate that will not tolerate
this wholesale importation of foreign
ers into Illinois. and if I hear that a
mob is to be brought into this state,
such as was taken into Yirden, will
not care on what railroad it comes, or
for who, will meet it at the state line
and shoot it to pieces with Calling
suns"
If Governor Tanner is not merely
talking for effect, playing the dema-
gegue to the galleries. and means what
ne says he is about to undertake
course that will inevitably bring him
into conflict with the United States. If
