For Nothing Per Cent.
THE house in which Mr.. William

THE house in which Mr.. William
Johnson carried on the business of
money lender and financial agent was
in no way different from those sur
rounding it save that the downstairs
front window bore the legend Loan
Office" in large black letters on white
ground. A quiet, orderly, middle-aged
man was Mr.. johnson, and people who
met him in the street and did not know
him would have taken him for anything
rather than a man who put out his
money to usury.
Certainly there was nothing of the
Shylock about him as he sat one spring
morning in his dingy office over much
thumbed account book. He was tall
spare, loosely-built man, with pale
face and thin, struggling crop OF
beard and whiskers that always looked
as if it had grown in patches. Usually
when he was not talking to his clients
he carried a quill pen in his mouth;
there was something in this habit that
gave him the appearance of an alb
stracted poodle carrying stick.
Mr.. johnson was deeply engrossed II
the consideration of a certain entry il
his account book when the door of the
loan Office opened very suddenly anc
set the bell ringing with sharp dis
sonance. He heard a light step in TIN
little lobby, which was partitioned OF
from the rest of the room. For mo
ment he did not answer the summons o
the bell-it was never wise to be in to-
much haste to welcome callers. Blu
presently he rose and opened the door
the quill pen still retaining its hori
zontal position in his mouth. He lilet
his eyes carelessly from the little swim!
counter to the person who stood behin'
it. He was not easily surprised, for b
had seen many strange things in hi
time, but what he now saw surprise
him into vague, uncomfortable 81

1e.years, fashionably dressed, evidently
of good position and palpable refine
ment. Her pretty, fresh face, revealing
itself to Mr.. Johnson's astonished eyes
from beneath the ravishments of a
much befowered picture hat, seemed
strangely out of keeping with the
dingy color of the little lobby.
'Oh-er-ye are Mr.. William John
son?" she said.
"Yes," answered Mr.. johnson.
"You-er, you-lend money, don't
your"
"Yes,s said Mr.. johnson again.
Ell want to borrow some money"
she said, looking out of half-ayerted
eyes at the money lender.
Mr.. Johnson's first impulse was to
stretch out his hand for one of the ap-
plication forms which stood ready in q
small box on the counter. But upon
reflection he lifted the swinging shell
and asked his new client to step inside

TOMMY SPlNk'S EARS.

Tommy SPHINX was boy
Who brought bushels of joy
To the hearts in the sleepy old school,
But twas not his fine looks
Nor his liking for books,
For he stood at the foot, as rule.
But Tommy was blest
Above all of the rest
Whom I knew in those jubliant years,
For in some funny way,
But just how / can't say,
He was able to wiggle his ears
The lazy old clock
Would be dreaming, "tick-tock,"
And the room quite as still as mouse,
When some one of the crowd
Would dare smoker out loud
And arouse all the rest in the house.
Then the teachers command
Would be Hold out your hand"
And some one would shed few tears.
And all just because,
Spurning NATURES set laws,
Tommy Sphinx chose to wiggle his ears
His scalp, so he said
Was too big for his head
And he rolled it about as he willed,
While his ears, to and fro,
SO grotesquely would go,
You would laugh though you knew YOU'D
be killed.
And to this very day,
When my skies are gray,
There is one recollection that cheers,
AS think, with smile,
With what innocent guile
Tommy Spixk used to wiggle his ears.
Oh, the years have been long
Since left the glad throng
! loved in those happier days;
They have passed frommy view
All those friends whom knew
And are threading life's devious ways.
All is fading, l find.
Yet with pleasure my mind
To that one youthful picture adheres,
And from out the dim past
I'll recall to the last
How Tommy Sphinx wiggled his ears.

"That's the place. He has neighbor ON

these cows that never wants to stay where
she's put. She was constantly breaking into
Blanks back yard, tramping the lawn to
pieces, breaking the shrubbery and using
the side of the house, in lieu of a straw
stack, to rub against. No fencethat would
not deface the property would keep her out,
and Blank decided that something must be
done. He could not bear the idea of a
neighborhood row, so he went to the owner
of the COW, told him that she had become an
intolerable nuisance and that he would glad
ly give 500 to have her disposed of. The Of
fer was promptly accepted, and the money
paid. A morning or two later the cow was
in the yard again, destroying things just as
of old. Blank hunted up his neighbor and
said Il thought you promised me to get rid
of that cow at once

brought to Minneapolis yesterday on a
Northern Pacific train in an unconscious

on the road. His condition is said to be
very critical.
1t was reported yesterday that a de-

Mrs Fred w. Ames, wife of Col. Ames,

last week for San Francisco to meet the

this week Before leaving Mrs Ames
stated to friends that she would be alb

Cuba only waits for President McKinley's
word to awaken and take giant strides

work is plentiful and brigandage ceases.
REGRET HIS DEPARTURE.
The Puerto Principe newspapers pub
fish dispatch from Havana announcing
the withdrawal of Gen. Carpenter The
news has caused widespread regret there
The Deos Republics, a Radical organ,
always bitter opponent of the American
administration and a violent enemy of
annexation sentiment, says:
AS we have said before we oppose the
form which American Intervention has
assumed. We have protested and always
will protest against President McKinley's
system. We continue to insist upon that
absolute independence for which the
youth and wealth of the island have been
sacr1hced these many generations. Still
we must say that Gen. Carpenter has
proved a dignified and just governor and
cultured gentleman. He has always at
tempted to further the interests of our
people, who have grown to admire him.
The Washington administration is MAX
ing an error in removing a man universal

who may prove equally acceptable, but
who has before him a long and tedious
experience in learning the situation, prov

La Lucia, in an editorial, TODAY. based
upon the foregoing declaration of Deos
Republics, uses 1t as an argument
against the continuance of a military adj
ministration of civil affairs. Citing the
changes of army commanders during the
last six months in the provinces of Pinar
del Rio and Santa Clara, it says:
Military changes are constant draw

The mayor of San Jose de los Ramos
has telegraphed Brig. Cen Wilson that
a party of twenty-one outlaws has been
captured near Santa Gertrulius. The
band, which had been raiding the district
and securing money by threatening the
lives of the inhabitants, was pursued bv
the rural guards, surrounded and taken
before any effective resistance could be
made.
Capt. George Smith, one of the hest

RAINY SEASON.
The rain has fallen almost continuously
for nine days. 1t has been tremendous
downpour, and the whole country is
flooded. The trenches at San Fernando
are bitches of water, and the mud is
knee deep in the temporary camps of
several of the outlying towns Some of
the permanent camps have been made
fairly comfortable by the erection Of
bamboo shelters, rooted and f1oored.

said:
I'VE are satisfied with the results of
today. We have made progress, there
have been no disturbances and the
Amalgamated men who were working
feel much encouraged. There have been
many accessions to our ranks and the
fight for the recognition of unionism
can be said to be well started
General Superintendent w B. Cory.
of the Homestead plant of the Carnegie
company, had this to say:
We are operating our plants with the
usual forces. There are as many men
at work in the mills as there usually
are on Sunday night The men not in
the mills are those that have been dis
charged
Both statements were made after the
men had reported for duty and the work
for the night was well under way.
Newspaper men were escorted through
the mills tonight for the purpose of CIV
ing them ocular proof that all depart
ments were in operation. To the re-.
porters every branch seemed to be work
ing to the limit
Both sides claim to be satisfied, the
company because it feels assured that
the attempted strike is failure; the as
Soclauon because 1t mas gained many
new members and expects to secure
many more during the Fourth of July
holiday
The situation at the mills of Spang.
Chalfont & Co., at Elmer, and Moor
head Bros & Co., at Sharpsburg, re.
mains unchanged. The clash that had
been looked for between the strikers and
new men has been averted and the trouble
between the firms and their employees
will be allowed to settle itself
George Hecket, chairman of the Etna
lodge of the Amalgamated association
says the firm of Spang, Chalfont & Co.
offered to pay the highest Amalgamated
scale, but refused to recognize the asso-
citation. The men, he said, are well or
ganized and will stand firm for recog-
milton until the trouble is adjusted. He
claims that the 500 men from the pud-
ding department who went out on Sat
urday have positions offered them in
other places which they will accent BY
the end of this week unless the firm
signs the scale.
Thomas Lynch, a prominent leader of
the Moorhead strikers, says the condi-
lions at Sharpsburg are practically the
same as at Etna and the men will give
the firm until Wednesday to accede to
their demands. He declares that under
the present demand for skilled labor 1t
will be impossible for the firm to fill
the strikers places.
No new signatures to the Amalgamated
scale were reported at headquarters to-
day.
