THE NoBLEST FRIEND OF ALL

I have a friend, devoted, earnest, true,
One whom my soul for long years never
knew,
Though oft his voice fell on my careless
ear
In accents dreaded then, but now most
dear;
! little dreamed that all my needless fears
Would change to deepest love with passing
years.
Oft then l closely scanned his earnest face,
Yet failed to recognize its nameless grace,
Nor family understood the nameless charm
Beneath grave looks | fancied boded harm !;
Charged with high duties for his Lord the
How could his words with lightsome laugh
ter ring?
But on his brow serene could rest no guile,
And there was wondrous magic in the
smile
With which sometimes his somber features
cleaned,
So gently solemn, yet so sweet it seemed;
Some thought he knew not pity grief nor
ruth,
Yet all his acts were kind and trimmed
with truth
Later found that he struck off the chains
or slaves bound down meath penalties and
pains,
Set captives free, a million wrongs re-
dressed,
Brought hope and happiness to the op-
pressed,
Lightened harsh cares, bade wearing sor-
rows cease,
Subdued all strife and substituted peace.
And when / learned TO know-the veil un-
rolled
From all his greatness vast and mighty
soued,
And saw that for such sorrow as he made
His heart was saddened though his hand
obeyed,
! learned to love him, saw behind his mask,
And marveled al the greatness of his task.
So now, with soul serene and bated breath,
/ reverence the friend whose name IS
Death.

Insures All It's Employees.

The Montreal Street Railway conf
pany has at its own cost insured all it's
employees against accident or total dis
ablement to the extent of $1,000. A
substantial increase of wages has been
granted to all motormen and conduct
ors who have been in the service of the
company for two years, while free uni
forms will be supplied to those of five
years standing. These concessions,
which have been granted by the COM
pany Of its own voltion, will mean the
payment of about $4,000 extra per an
mum TO the men.

MAKES MAN AND BEAST MAD.
French Photographer Says Red Ex-
cites Human Beings as Well
as Animals

Why does the bull so strongly object
to red rag? While the professional
psychologists do not, as yet, appear to
have found any satisfactory explana-
ton of the fact, a Trench manufacturer
OF Photographic materials processes to
have discovered that bulls are by no
means the only members of the animal
kingdom who are excited by anything
red, says the New York Express. A
large number of hands are employed
in the manufactory, both male and fe-
male, and most of the work has hith-
erto been performed in rooms to which
all the light that was admitted came
through panes Of red glass. Hardly a
day passed without some terrific dis
turbance taking place among the work
people. Now 1t was duel almost to

and no amount of fines or other punish
ments seemed to have any permanent
deterrent effect. This state of affairs
was assumed, until recently, to be in
separable from work carried on in un-
comfortable conditions. At length it oc-
Cured to some bright spirit that the
red panes of glass might be at fault,
and it was decided to try what the eff

sudden peace fell upon the whole

before. Bickering and fighting ended
as if hy enchantment, and voice of man
or woman was never heard raised above

SPANISH BLOOD IN IRELAND.
The Combination Makes Women OF
Great Beauty and Per-
feet Forms.

When the Spanish armade was
wrecked off the coasts of Clare and Gal
way counties many survivors of the dis
aster who reached the shores were kind
ly cared for by the Irish people, and,
considerable numbers of these unfor-
tunates remained in the families Of
their generous-hearted rescuers, says
the American Quarterly Review.
Spanish Point, on the coast of Clare,
reminds of the disaster to the great
Spanish fleet
In the counties of Glare and Galway
there is to be found at the present day
people differing essentially from any
of the distinctive races existing on Irish
soil. This people are descendants Of
the Spanish officers and soldiers who
had been cast ashore during the fearful
storm which destroyed the Spanish
fleet.
The race marks of this people are
well defined. Crossed as it has been
with the Milesian stock, its Spanish
features offer most interesting study,
for they remain prominent. The men
are tall, muscular, dark-featured, with
black eyes and black hair. The women
have decided Spanish traits in their
physique; they are usually tall; bru-
nettes in some cases and fair in others;
with large, expressive black eyes and
an abundance of black hair. Their
beauty reminds of the women of the
Basque provinces, while among them
are to be found the perfection of the
female form in all Ireland.

AVE l ever been victimized? :?
Well, must confess l have
been-once. only once; and that was by
John Smith-probably one Of the most
cunning and original scamps that ever
lent his name to an evil career. But
perhaps you would like to hear the
story?"
The speaker was friend of mine
Detective Inspector Henry Graham, of
Scotland Yard, who ranked amongst
the very smartest and most successful
members of his profession. 1t Wa !,
therefore, with no little surprise that
! heard him confess to having been VIC
timized, especially by one of the very
men he had recently brought justice;
and, judging that this must have been
a most interesting case, replied
II certainly should. The person who
could impose upon detective of your
reputation and ability must indeed
have been particularly cunning"

ingly; but you are right; he was a
smart rogue-the smartest | have ever

but how did you gather these par
ticulars, if l may ask?' interrupted.
"Oh. that was simple enough" Gra-
ham replied. unfortunately for him,
the thief was disturbed after having
cleared his booty, and was compelled
to make for some of the bushes and
shrubs which surrounded the house. In
his haste he tripped over large stone,
which resulted in a nasty fall over a
bramble bush. This bush tore a piece

ROUGh AT HOME.
Alleged Detaultsr in Charge Of a
United States Marshal.


Dover, June 20.-Henry Hough, the
alleged defaulting treasurer of the
Cocheco Savings bank and assistant
cashier OF the Cocheco National bank,
arrived at his home here Past evening
in charge of u. =. Harshal Mute, from
Portsmouth, where he had previously
been arraigned on the charge of en-
bezzlement. He pleaded not guilty aiti
was held in $4,000. He will remain i'm
the marshals custody until bail is furn-
ished which 1t is expected will be some
time today.
Hough talked freely in regard to'his
movements since the banks condition
became generally known. He said he
left Dover on the $3.50 "A. m. milk train.
on Sunday. June 4, and went TO Boston.
He said he sat three reats behind Mr..
O. S. Brown. who IL will be remembered
has stated that Hough was nowhere on
the train. Hough said he was reading
a paper while Mr.. Brown was reading
a book. On his arrival in Boston he
went 10 the Park Square station, where
he met Mr.. Albert Locke. who formerly
lived I'm Dover. and had some conversa-
tion with him. He then left for Baltl-
more, where he remained about a week.
Before leaving Dover he had engaged
Mr.. John H. Kiver as his attorney,
and the latter, meantime. had been in
communication with United States Dis
trict Attorney Hamblett of Nashua,
-und United States Marshal Mute, in the
hope that some arrangements could be
made fer Hough's return.
Hough went from Baltimore to Will
mington. Del, where he spent a few
days and then left for New York. He
was in the latter city last Saturday,
and says he stood on the corner OF
Broadway and Sixth avenue for an
hour, talking with a policeman.
He received word yesterday from his
counsel to return home and II. s. Mar
shal Mute left here to meet him upon
his arrival i'm Boston.
When asked IL il was ever his inten-
tion TO leave the country, Hough, with
a laugh. replied in the negative. He
said that he was under a great mental
strain when he left Dover. and went
away simply to obtain the relief and
much needed rest.

For months the ali-apsorbing topic
OF conversation in New Orleans has
been sewerage. drainage and better

need for better sanitary conditions in
New Orleans for tong tfnfe,- but ur-
til the present time the progressive
element has been unable to secure
these improvements. being out-voted at
the polls by ignorance and narrow
mindedness. The late Constitutional
Convention OF Louisiana gave tax-pay-
ing women the right TO vote upon all
questions OF taxation. and to them is
due the credit OF carrying the day for
better sanitasy conditions in New Or
leans. They voted solidly TO tax them
selves for these improvements, and for
the mayor to have the appointive
power.
