was going to end badly Margot did
not dare to return to the bosom of her
justly aggrieved family again that
night. She cried a great deal, finally
sne took Cecil's letter and read it
carefully over-not once, but many
times. Then she raised it to her lips
and kissed it passionately, and then
got into bed, and, holding it open in
her palm, she went to sleep with it
pressed against her cheek
When she awoke the next morning
she felt less unhappy; in short, things
seemed to have cleared themselves a
little in her brain.
She no longer felt that it was her
duty to sacrifice herself for her family.
1t so happened that Cecil, who had
called early at the house that morning,
was able to confirm her in this opinion.

FOR WIFE AND kids"

In the Great Book, somewhere, where
the deeds of heroes are recorded, the
name of John MCGOWAN must stand
close to the top. Not on the field of
battle has John MCGOWAN won honor,
nor in the excitement that generates
desire to save human life. A hero in
devotion to his wife and children
that is John MCGOWAN, and the little
history of it forms one of the most
pathetic stories that has ever come out
of that great repertory of pathetic
stories-Bellevue Hospital.
MCGOWAN is an ironworker. He is
big, and brawny, and sober, and there
observer feel like shaking hands with
him. He has a wife who is thin and
tired from many years of household
cares, but John MCGOWAN loves her
just as well as when she was buxom
and rosy. And the "kids!" Well, you
should have seen the Fourth of July
John MCGOWAN gave them!
While at work on the East Thirty
first street pier yesterday morning Nc
Gowan was attacked by a vicious dog,
believed to have been mad. He fought
the animal off, but refrained from
hurting it, and when it was driven
away it was found that his right hand
was fearfully lacerated. He walked to
Bellevue and had the wounds dressed,
but there was an expression Of surprise
in his honest eyes when the doctors
asked him to remain.
why, men," said MCGOWAN, what's
the matter with you? That's only
scratch 1 can't lose my job on ac-
count of little thing like that. 1t
would be tough on the wife and the two
little kids If / got out Of work now,
and a job like mine amt to be picked
up every day"
Away went John MCGOWAN, his face
pale and his teeth set. The doctors
watched MIN admiringly.
He'll come back" they said
And come back he did, but not until
he had done his days work for the
wife and the little kids. He staggered
into the hospital about Z o'clock last
night. with his hand swollen to thrice
it's normal size.
Il stuck the day out, men," he said,
with an attempt at smile, "and I'd
like to have you fix my hand up so l
can go to work in the morning"
The hand was dressed again, and
this time he was too weak to resist the
doctors when they wanted to put him
to bed. Blood poisoning has set in,
and there are signs of hydrophobia in
the set jaws of John MCGOWAN. In his
delirium he pleads with the boss not
to discharge him not to spoil his
chance to make living for the wife
and the little kids.

little kids,-New York Journal.

NEMESIS.


The small boy stole his neighbors
grapes.
His sin
Did not impress him overnuch.
A grin
O'erspread his freckled little face
Broke punches off and gobbled them
In glee
He ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and
ate,
And ate,
And all the time his wicked JOY
Was great.
He did not think how wrong it was
To swipe
His neighbours grapes before they We're
Half ripe!
But, oh. before the clock struck IL
That night
That wicked boy was pale as chalk
With fright
He realized at last how very great
1t is to steal, though it be but
A pin.
For awful gripes his stomach filed
With woe,
And he calculated ooh!
Oh! OH"
The moral is-now heed it. boys
Don't swipe
Your neighbours grapes at least until
They're ripe"

WORLDS OLDEST POEM.
Written Is Centuries Before Moses in
Honor of King Usertesen III.

Near to the pyramid at Illahun. Pro-
lessor Petrie found during his explora-
ton in 1SSS-90 the extensive town
occupied by the workmen EMPLOYED
by Usertesen II. in building his pyra-
mid and other public works. In the
office where the records of the town
were kept Professor Petrie discovered
large number of papyri. Most of
these were official and legal documents,
relating to the works carried on, ac-
counts of payments to workmen, of
1000 and provisions received and is
sued, fiscal accounts, census papers.
etc., and all the usual accumulation
of a government office-dry and unin-
Fteresting on the whole, but abound
| ing in details which are of the great
est value to the historian and archaic
ologlst. The more attractive fields
of general and scientific literature
were not, however, unrepresented, for
we have works on medicine, diseases
OF women, veterinary surgery and
mathematics, but the gem of the col
lection is a royal ode or hymn of well
come addressed to Usertesen III, ap-
parently by the people of the Fayoum.
After long and patient work. these
broken and torn fragments have been
arranged, and are now published with
autotype reproductions, transcript
and partial translations by F. Lie
wellyn Griffith. The poem to User
tesen III is written in a fine, bold,
hieratic hand upon a papyrus measur-
ing 46 inches in length and II in
width, and consists, when completed,
Of six stanzas of 10 lines each. It's
value lies in it's being certainly the
oldest poem in the world, nearly Is
centuries before the time of Moses,
and also in the wonderful way in
which it describes, in most figurative
language, the great work that the
King had done in the expansion of
the Egyptian Empire.
Homage to thee our Horus divine Of
beings
Protecting the land, and widening it's
boundaries,
Enclosing the two lands, within the
compass of his hands, and seiz-
ing the nations in his grasp.
The tongue of his Majesty bindeth
Nubia, his utterances put to
flight the Bedouin.
Sole one of youthful vigor, guarding
his frontier; suffering not his
subjects to faint but causing
all the people to repose unto
daylight.

NOGALES SENSATION.
Startling Story of Corruption In the
Custom House Service.

A startling story was made public
through special telegram from Noge-
les, appearing in the San Francisco
Cal. of last Sunday.
The gist of the story as related by
the Call was that there had been Diff
ficulty between the United States con-
sular office at Nogales, Sonora, and the
Arizona, and it alleged that there had
been filed with the state department at
Washington an affidavit emanating
from the custom house at NOgales, &C.
cusing Consul Darnall of malfeasance in
Office, in extorting 800 from Chinese
merchant for vising his certificate to
pass through the United States en-
route to China. According to
the story the state department called
cleared himself of the accusation. Two
months later Special Agent E. S.
Stokes walked into the consul's office
with the avowed Intention of in vestiPa-
ting the matter upon behalf of the
treasury department. Consult Darnall
refused to be investigated, and espec-
cially by Mr.. Stokes. alleging that
official possessed of guilty knowl-
edge sa . OF o CORRUPT S,oh pr prassloes
ed, disqualified Stokes from conduct
Ing OIL hOhOos SOS OiS oolOh' hO OoiA
story went on to say that Special
Agent Stokes accompanied by Special
Inspector Roush then went up and
"churned'' the custom house little,
developing the alleged facts
that several ladies and gentlemen
had been carried on the pay roll with
out rendering service. AS published
the list included Mrs. Chenoweth at q
salary of 500 per month as cashier;
Mrs. Aguirre as statistical clerk: Judge
Eb. Williams, deputy statistical clerk;
j. L. HuRter, janitor, and 0. L. Lewis,
janitor. Afterward, so the
story alleged, Roush Sc
cured from Lewis an affidavit that he
had been requested to go on the pay
roll to tide over a vacancy, that he
would have TO duties to discharge,
that he had done no work, had signed
a pay voucher, but had received neith-
err check nor money.
The Oasis editor interviewed the
parties concerned and Consul DarDall
said that he had no desire to make a
statement for pu blication at the pre-
sent time. Beforesa properly author
lied and fair board of
investigation he would state in
how far the published accounts were
correct and accurate. so far as be was
concerned. and wherein they were in
correct or inaccurate. Mr.. CheEoweth
stated that at the present time he was
not prepared to say any thing for pub
