STORY OFTWODEATHS

One dull November afternoon, John
Gerard, the we'll known fnancier, was
shown into the handsome private once
of Nathaniel Nugent, the even better
known millionaire company promoter.
Nugent rose with extended hand--a
bland smile appearing on his usually
impassive features. which remained
there till the clerk withdrew. Then 1t
disappeared with the swiftness Of q
magic-lantern slide, leaving his face
rigid and chastity.
Gerard, for Gods sake. don't tell
me you must have that money back
now!"
That's Just what have to tell you.
Nugent, and sorry am to do 1t. but
was hard hit over Kaffirs, and this new
scare has made matters worse than
ever"
Then I'm ruined man."
There was dead silence in the once
for few moments. A look OF despair
crept over Nugent's face. and his guest
looked almost as Ill at ease. Suddenly
steps were heard on the stairs.
That's Lord Mount Dacre. one OF
our directors. He half suspects some
thing already. and II he sees you here
ne will guess at once what you have
come about"
what can I do? Is there another
way out?"
"No-but stay! Step into that cup
board. He won't be here many min
utes."
Hastily pushing, Gerard into large
cupboard. Nugent locked the door. and
turned smilingly to greet another un-
welcome guest.
As Lord Mount Dacre discussed the
business Of the company in which they
were mutually concerned, his hearer
was on tenter hooks. for there was a
slight noise in the cupboard.
Dear me. didn't know you had an
other room adjoining. hope We can
not be overheard"
mo, no, it's merely cupboard"
said Nugent, and he got rid of his vis-
itor as quickly ns possible. and then
went to set Gerard free.
The atmosphere of the cupboard
seemed unusually oppressive.
Come out-he's gone. Why, Ger
rard. where are you?" demanded he. as
nothing stirred.
Then his hand touched another hand
which was cold and lifeless.
my God-he's dead!"
When Nugent had partially recov-
cred from the shock which this discov-
cry gave him. he found that the ac-
cidental closing OF ventilator had
been the cause of the catastrophe.
Then he called in Wells, the clerk
who had shown Gerard into the Of

woMAN's BASE lNoRArIrupE.

She Stole ths Foor Man's Fruit Into
the bargain.
1t was only a pantomime as the
neighbors saw 1t. but 1t was easily
understood, and 1t represented a case
OF the basest ingratitude and incon-
sistency on the womans part, they
agreed, says the New York Times. 1t
was last Tuesday afternoon. when the
clouds appeared to be suddenly con-
densed and were spilling themselves
upon the earth In a most uncomfort-
able and penetrating fashion. Notwith-
standing this. two fruit peddlers,
young men, not much more than boys,
were walking along the street calling
out their wares-bananas-w were
getting a thorough drenching in the
wagon, which melancholy horse was
drawing down the street after them.
A few people were at the windows of
the different houses along the street,
wondering II the rain would ever cease,
and watching the pedd!ers with lazy
interest. Suddenly this became in
tensified. for one Of the men did a
most unusual thing; he suddenly raised
the small bunch OF fruit he had in
his hand and threw 1t swiftly into the
yard Of the house before which he was
passing. That was very strang thing
to do. Was he crazy? No. for the
reason OF the throw could be seen
when an enormous gray rat appeared
in view and ran lnzily through the
fence into the next yard and disap-
peared. The animal had not been hit.

into the yard and pick up his baueaas?
Instead OF this woman came TO the
basement door of the house. spoke to
the man, was apparently not salts
fed, came further out In the rain to
the gate, and there harangued him We
hemently. II she wished him to do
anything 1t was evident. from his at
titude, that he had no intention OF
complying. The woman looked anx-
iously up and down the street. Some
thing must be very wrong: she was
looking for a policeman. There was
none In sight, and she returned to the
house. while the young man jumped
hurriedly into the wagon and the mel
ancholy looking horse took them quiet
ly out OF view. Not five minutes later
the woman appeared again. this time
in street dress. and. with determined
look on her face. walked hurriedly
down the street. Then. as the curious
watchers were able to turn their at
tention to the house. they saw the
basement window open. hand was
put out and the bunch OF bananas.
which had apparently been the cause
Of the trouble, was taken inside. The
real trouble could be seen then, for
in the glass window pane was big
break; the bananas had not hit the
rat. but they had hit the window.

those poor men arrested" exclaimed
the woman across the street indignant

Gentlemen-For years I have been

has gone through my whole system.
and no one knows the torture and
misery l have passed through. My

Everything that affects the welfare
of the people Is legitimate subject
OF comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not narrow man.
1t is the politician who is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as 1t is, and seeks. as far as Is In his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in its various forms Is rap
idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DIR. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know Of its virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN.

The following poem by Rudyard Kip
ling appeared In McClure's Magazine
for February. 1t has attracted grea
deal Of attention and several parodie
upon 1t have appeared in various pub
NtiOns:
Take up the white Mans burden
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
On futtered folk and wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples.
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show OF pride;
BY open speech and simple,
~ An hundred times made plain.
To seek another's profit
And work another's y gain
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars of peace
FIJI full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others soughD
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Mans burden
No Iron rule of kings,
But toll OF serf and sweeper
The tale of common things.
The ports yc shall not enter.
The roads ye shall not tread.
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead
Take up the White Mans burden,
And reap his old reward
The blame of those ye better,
The hate OF those ye guard
The cry of hosts ye humor
(Ah, slowlyD toward the light
why brought ye us from bondage.
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stoop to less
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloke your weariness.
BY all ye will or whisper
n BY all ye leave or do.
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden!
Have done with childish days
The lightly-pronered laurel.
The easy ungrudged praise:
Comes now. to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold. edged with dear-bought wisdom.
The Judgment of your peers.
