SOMEBODY HAD TO STAY.
So 1t Followed That 1t Was the Pris-
Oner Who Was in Charge
of the Jail.

The story below is from FL Diario. an
Argentine newspaper, published in
Spanish. The anecdote is told of pris-
ON in provincial town in Argentina.
IAN employe whose duty it was to in
spect them, arrived late at night at one
of them, and asked a ragged 'gaucho'
who opened the door where the chief of
police was.
1.-The chief, sir, lives at his farm,
three or four leagues off He seldom
comes
And the second of police?'
1.-The second has not come for some
time, sir. The poor man has his wife ILL.,
And the officer of the guard?'
He has been invited to a dance
And the gendarmes?'
1.-The gendarmes, sir, finish their
duty at six p. m. and don't report till
next day
But this is scandal! There is no.
body here to explain things. And you?
Who are your
i am the prisoner, sir.
The whole thing reads like an incI-
dent from comic opera. But it is a
perfectly literal translation from he
paper mentioned.

THE FIDDLE CAME BACK.
A Cincinnati Mans Queer Expert
ence with His Homemade
Violin.

James Dillingworth, Cincinnati
man, lately had an experience in
Chicago violin shop that might happen
once in ten million times. Mr.. Dilling-
worth came over from Cincinnati with
his daughter, who is somewhat skilled
violinist. On the road the daughters
pet violin got smashed in trunk. 1t
was medium good instrument. Mr..
Dillingworth paid SIS for it in a london
shop and had given it to his daughter.
He took it to State street store to have
it repaired The next day he went
back to get it.

said the clerk. You see, we had to take
the violin apart" he explained, exhibit
ing the pieces.
catch sight of his name on the under
side of the top piece. He examined it
more closely.
This is violin | made so years ago."
Ire gasped more surprised than he had
ever been in his life.
Half century ago Mr.. Dillingworth
made the violin just as IAN experiment
and because he had a knack for using
cabinet tools. He afterward sold the
violin to a friend for $3.50. The friend
sold the instrument to man who was
just starting for Australia. billing
worth bought his own fiddle back at
London violin shop for SIS.

the job we've got, and we perform the

dead earnest when we get job to suit
us, says the Chicago Tribune.
The fact is that tomorrow, when we
get to it, will be to us as to-day is to us
now. We shan't feel any more like
work; and that other job, when we
come in actual contact with it and see
it close at hand, won't suit us any bet
ter than the one we've got now does.
"The truth is that we are dawdlers
and shy of work and trying to get
along just as easy as we can. We hate
to pitch in and go at things.
The time for us to work is now, not
is the one We've got. Round that up
in style, do the work completely and
thoroughly, and you'll be astonished to
find how you'll bring il out and
what chances there are in it; and every
body that knows about your work, or is

societies of both cities, and, as re-
suit, l was appointed his legal guard
ian. He was ultimately placed in the
home of a family on the South side.
THAT phase of my work in which
perhaps meet with the greatest diff
Guilty, but which is, nevertheless, a most
important and imperative one, is that
of securing good homes for the children
who become my wards. This. doubtless,
is largely owing to the belief in the minds
of many people that to take child
into the family means to take it as
their own. This is by no means the
intention nor is ii expected that any
financial responsibility shall be as
sumed by persons into whose family
a child is received unless they choose or
agree to do so. On the contrary, each
of my wards has at least small sum
of money and goes into family much
the same as g little boarder would.
Those who take child into the com
forts of home for small sum sutli-
cient to clothe il, who treat the child
kindly and send il to school, fill the
exact need in majority of eases. AS
little helpers these children are able
to order fair returns for their sup
port.
"A number of the little fortunes
which as guardian am called upon TO
protect come through insurance so
cieties or lodges OF which the parent
was member, and | am glad, always,
to learn that father has his life in
sured for the benefit of his children
1t is surprising what one can do for
them with even very small sum in
hand"

PIagiurist and Suicide.

Toulouse has been startled by an
army officer committing suicide on ac-
count of plagiarism. Capt. Cassagnade
sent in a poem to the Floral Games,
which received a minor prize and was
printed with the other prize pieces. A
lycee professor accidentally opened the
book and recognized the poem as an al
ready published production of his own,
with the exception of a dozen lines. He
informed the prize committee of the
plagiarism and the captain was asked
for an explanation, whereupon he shot
himself. The committee went so far as
to state that if il had not been for the
captains own addition the poem would
have received the first prize.

IT SURPRISED HIM.
The Professor Expected Death. Bat
Heard smooth Language from
the Indian.

! The late Prof. Marsh loved to tell of
an adventure which once befell him
while member of a party of fossil
hunters in the Indian country, says
Forest and Stream.
The whole party realized that they
were in a dangerous country, and all
hands were constantly on the watch for
enemies, and were careful not to wan
der far from the command; or if two
or three fossil gatherers did go off from
the main body they took with them a
number of soldiers to stand guard while
they worked.
One day Prof. Marsh was hard at
work on his knees in the bottom of the
narrow ravine digging away the sold
from a bone which stuck out of the
bank He was entirely absorbed in his
task and noticed nothing of what was
going on about him until the brilliant
sunlight was cut off by dark shadow,
and he looked up to see standing above
him "a grim Indian warrior holding his
rife ready.
The professors heart leaped into his
throat. He forgot where he was. He
strove to utter a propitiatory How"
but his dry lips refused to form the
word, and he could only swallow, try
ing 10 get rid of the lump in his throat.
Suddenly the savage bent toward him
and spoke:
''Have | the honor of addressing Prof.
Othnell Charles Marsh, the eminent
paleontologist of Yale college," he in
quired.
The revulsion of feeling was almost
too much for the professor, who was
now even less able to speak than he had
been before.

small boy had been sent east, Chris
tanned, cdr Gated, taught the element
of theology and sent back to the west

cred in court. However, a compromise
was effected with the bondsmen and
the estate was given into the hands OF
one of our banks and became guardian
of the person OF the child. Relatives
were at last found who were willing
to do something for the girl and she
was given a business education as a
stenographer. Her first work in this
line brought her an income of four
dollars week, and she came to me one
day with beaming face and said: Next

character is that of a bright little boy
who was brought here from another

about the baldheaded heroes. His own

sympathy and guidance makes me
very careful in correcting them on
these minor points"
Being asked TO state the number of
wards in her control, and to outline
some of her experiences with them,
Miss Bartelme said:
AT present have about 200 charges.
In most instances am given control of
both the person and estate of the child.
Occasionally, however, the estate is
administered by a private guardian
and l have the guardianship of only
the person of the child.
Il have now, here at home with me, a
bright little girl of IL years. She is the
daughter of a woman who drank heav-
lily. A considerable property left by
the father was placed in trust: but the
mother insisted upon having the guar
dianship of the child. The court, how
ever, thought her an unfit person for
this confidence, and the child became
my ward. Accordingly, l went to call
upon the little girl in the old home
stead left by the father. The exterior
of the house presented comparatively
favorable appearances; but within was
filth and Indebtedness. In the little
bedroom over the kitchen were strewn
numerous empty liquor bottles; and in
the midst of all this | found my little
charge. Needless to say. my immedi-
ate endeayors were directed to getting
her away from these surroundings
and she has now been away from home
for more than year.
Another pathetic instance was thai
of a little girl Of IA years of age. Tn,
mother of this little girl was a finely
educated woman: but continued spec
ulation on the board of trade had al
most dissipated the estate left her b,

nLLINOIS is the only state in the
union which may boast real ma
II ternal interest in the welfare of its
orphaned children and point, by way of
yerification, to a woman who is state
public guardian.
Miss Mary NJ. Bartelme, of Chicago,
enioys the unique distinction OF being
the only woman in the United States
holding an appointment to this posi-
ton of trust That she not only ac-
cepts and gracefully manages these
important duties in her official capac-
itv. but becomes a veritable mother to
each child who is added to this widely
scattered and broadly inclusive fam
lily, is apparent to anyone who reviews
Miss Bartelme's work.
That her wards, many of whom are
young girls, appreciate the deep per-
sonal interest she takes in each of them
and her untiring labor in their behalf
is evidenced by the letters they each
week shower upon her. Many OF them
do not hesitate TO address her: Dear
Mother"
IL do not correct them in this, said
Miss Bartelme. THE children realize,

GENERALLY SUPERIOR.
That Is What Is Said of the WOme y
who Really Refuse
to Marry.

Generally speaking women who be-
long to this class are the best of their
sex. Some people think they prefer
single blessedness because they have u
mission" which calls them to some
useful work or other. No doubt many
ofthem do employ their time with great
benefit to their fellow-creatures; still,
we think they would have been willing
10 marry had they met one whom they
could love. Either they are faithful to
the memory of the past or the man
whom they could have married has
never crossed their path. And being
women of the utmost honor and recti-
tude, they prefer "old maidism" to mar
ry for the sake of marrying. Says a
dear old lady of this type: No! |
never had love story" she said to US.
