CHICAGO, June 16.-The police an
tonight that they had become
convinced that the murderers of Martin
Meters, the old miser found strangled in
his house ten days since, secured about
$4,000 as the result of their crime.
The most careful search has failed to
reveal more than $4,000 of property. Meiers
told friends some time ago that he was
worth $4,000, and the police believe the
murderers secured the difference.

A resident of Pittsburg who spent a
part of last summer in England tells
in an exchange an incident which sad
ly disturbed the religious peace of a
parish in PenZance. A maiden lady of
that town owned a parrot which some
how acquired the disagreeable habit
of observing at frequent intervals: 81
wish the old lady would die" This
annoyed the birds owner, who spoke
to the curate about 1t. Il think we
can rectify the matter" replied the
good man. Il also have parrot, and
the bird is a righteous bird, having
been brought up in the way he should
go. l will lend you my parrot, and
l trust his influence will reform that
depraved bird of yours" The curates
parrot was placed in the same room
with the wicked one, and as soon as
the two had become accustomed to
each other the bad bird remarked,
II wish the old lady would die"
"Whereupon the clergyman's bird
rolled up his eyes and in solemn ae-
cents added: I'VE beseech Thee to
hear us, good Lordv' The story got
out in the parish, and for several Sun
DAYS it was necessary to omit the lit
any of the church services.

Must Re Polite.

General Manager Underwood of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has Isl.
sued the following general notice to
station agents and trainmen: your
especial attention is directed to the
treatment of patrons by employees of
the company. Complaints have been
made from various sources OF discour-
tesy to freight and passenger patrons
on the part of our agents, or their
representatives, at several of our sta
lions, and also inattention of conduct
ors and brakemen to properly care for
the comfort Of passengers. There
should be no cause for such COM
plants. 1t is part of your duty to
see that our patrons are treated at all
times with politeness and courtesy, not
only by yourself but by employees I'M
der your charge. One of the valuable
assets Of a railroad company is uni
form politeness and courtesy from all
OF its employees to its patrons, and
this capital must not be encroached
upon. 1t is proper for you to under
stand that advancement does not de-
pend wholly on your efficiency, but In
other directions also, and will be
measured in a great degree by the
treatment accorded to patrons"

| OUT OF THE MOUTH OF Babes
A Romance of the Amana
/ Cornunlty in Iowa.

What led Herr Schweppe to join the
Amanites no one knew but the elders.
The Amanites did not gossip about it.
They were not given to gossiping
about anything. Work, duty, God
these were all their thoughts. But the
visitors to the close-lying Amana vii
lagos seldom failed to notice that Herr
Schweppe was a gentleman and to
wonder how he came to join the Am
antics, with their plain clothes and
their lives of toll. The mystery was
!. hid in the books of the elders. There
was once a visitor who claimed that he
had glimpse of the page and saw
Bismarck" written twice on Herr
. Schweppe's record. The name was
Won Schweppe," too. this visitor said,
though it was only Schweppe now.
Be that as it may, Herr Schweppe's
daughter, Annie, bore the traits of no.
BILE German birth. She was a dark
haired, dark-eyed maid, appearing
among the other girls of the commun-
ity like bit of Sevres ware surround
ed by pieces of useful but homely plain
white china. Little did the thrifty,
cody Amanites care for such beauty.
In Amana yard of blue calico was
accounted as worth far more than a
dimple.
The sorrows of exile killed Herr
Schweppe when Annie was a child, be-
fore she had grown so beautiful. An
ME had never seen a mirror, and no
one told her of her beauty. Her moth
er gloated over it in secret. She loved
Annie far better than the elders would
have sanctioned, but when the child
was near she was silent and cold.
The life of repression had had its eff
feet on poor Mother Schweppe.
In Amana the elders discouraged
lovemaking. Men and women entered
the church by different DOORS and a
line of sawdust box cuspidors marked
off the mems side of the house. But
among the girls at the Amana gasthaus
were two persons who did not have
the law Of Amana in their hearts.
They were not Amana girls, but came
from outside, for no Amanite would
have permitted his daughter to be sub
jected to the gaze of the strangers in
the gasthaus. 1t was Madge and Nora,
alas! who put all the mischief into An
MES mind.
June moonlight was falling over the
yellow wheat fields, and the fragrance
of grapevine blossoms on the wall half
intoxicated Annie as she leaned out CT
the small, square window next the
slanting roof of her mothers cottage.
1t was while Annie was still thinking
of the land that might lie outside of
Amana that Madge and Nora came

along and asked her to go with them
to their party" And Annie stole
away, and went.
A ghostly little party" it was, OF
Madge and Nora and Annie and only
three others, in the hotel kitchen, but
as they sat in the glare of the oil lamp
reflector it seemed to Annie the wild
est dissipation. Two sheepish young
Amanites slouched on the bench at one
side of the kitchen, nervously pulling
their straw hats over their faces if any
one glanced at them. The third young
man was entirely unlike these. Annie,
big-eyed and timorous, gazed at him In
wonder. He wore such clothes as fit
ted him; his ruddy hair was brushed
back from his ears, not over them, in
the fashion of the Amanites. His
face was clean-shaven, his figure 1.-the
and sinewy, and his merry eyes roved
hither and thither while he regaled
the company with music. 1t was a
mouth-organ which he played, but no
matter. To Annie it was heavenly.
She had never before heard music of
penalty even to whistling. Suddenly
Annie was trembling and sobbing, and
the player, conscience-smitten, ceased
his melody.
He was not great stranger to her,
as Annie had thought. He had, not so
very many years ago, worn the blue
jeans and straw hats of the communi-
the son of Herr Tappan. whom Annie
had often seen in church when a
child. The community had permitted
Herr Tappan to send his son away to a
college, for Hermann was to be the
physician of the community, their Herr
Doctor, as they called him.
Hermann understood the timidity of
Annie. He, too, had once been re-
strained till all his thoughts were sad
ness. He babe the girls take her at
once to her mothers cottage. and he
watched them till Annie had disap-
peared through the window.
But why should the young Herr Doc
tage next day, asking for her famous
wine for his patients?
"Knowest thou not / have disposed
of 1t long before this timer" cried
Mother Schweppe.
Il thought, perhaps, thou mightst be
making it again." faltered Hermann.

loudly and unmelodiously, much as
one of her cabbages might have
laughed.

True Value of Ceremony,

A Canadian minister had just mar
ried a couple. The registers were
signed, and nothing remained but the
giving and taking of the fee. The
bridegroom, strapping young fellow,
asked: How much is it?" The par
son glanced at the smiling bride and
slyly answered: whatever you think
it's worth" Now, it should have been
worth good deal, for the girl was
young and pretty.
II reckon it's worth about so cents"
said the swain, holding out two quar-
tiers. The clergyman looked blankly at
the two coins, then turned to the fair
one.
'I'll leave it to you, madam" he
said. What do you think it's WORTH"
The blushing bride reached out, took
the coins, handed one quarter to the
minister and put the other into her
pocket! "A thrifty wife," said the
Canadian, with a sigh, sis her hus-
bands crown" e-iiF.,&}.
