THE CHILD'S SYMPATHY.
[From LesIie's Weekly.l

A little girl of five or six years, with
big blue eyes that were full of tears,
came to Bellevue hospital the other day.
She carried a cat in her arms. The cat
had been wounded by a street car, and
one leg was badly mangled.
At the gate the girl told Tom, the big
policeman, that the cat was hurt.
Il want a doctor to help it," she said.
Tom took her to the receiving ward,
where there was a doctor who had
nothing else to do.
Here's a case. doc" said the police
man.
Il amt az the doctor began. Then
he saw the girls eyes. Let me see,'' he
continued.
Pretty bad" was the doctors com
ment. Then he got some knives, a little
bottle of chloroform and some banda
ges. You must help me- he said to
the girl.
She aided bravely, though it made her
very pale to see the sharp knives am
putating the leg. In few minutes it
was all over and the cat was partly re-
covering from the anaesthetic.
''Now you can take your kitty home
with YOU said the doctor.

SUGAR PRICES UP.
Outside Refneries Follow the Trust
in Pushing up the Prices.


New York June 1.-The great sugar
war is over at last, If a big mistake has
not been made by the heavy traders on
Wall street, who ought to know all
about it. Three successive weekly rises
planned only on the generally accepted
theory that a definite understanding
has been reached between the trust and
the outside refineries, which have for a
year or more been fighting each other.
Two weeks ago the price of refined
sugar was increased 10 cents a hun
dred pounds. That was nothing re-
Tnarkable, but when a still further and
still larger increase of Is cents a hun
bred was made last week people began
to wonder Today refined sugar took
another bound, going 10 cents a hun
bred higher.
There is no excuse for the rise in
price. Refined sugar is now selling a
IS cents a hundred more than three
weeks ago while the raw sugar has
advanced only a bare fraction over one
cent a hundred It is plain that the adj
vance in price of refined sugar cannot
by any means be attributed to increased
cost of raw material.
The significant feature of the increaSe
in the price is that the outside refinerieS
have all followed the trust in pushing
up the figures. Today when the trust
made it's advance the outside interests
promptly followed. The last Increase
brings the price of graduated to IS. 40.
This, together with the advance of Is
cents last week, makes a total of %
against a rise of 1872 in the price of

FIND HIDDEN FORTUNE.
More Than $4,000 Found in Nooks
in Homestead of Eccentric WIDOW.

Omaha, Neb. June 1.-The heirs of
Mrs. Ellen c. Lucas, who died in this
city last Saturday, have inherited
fortune of over $37, 900, buried in var
ious hooks about the old homestead at
1921 Chicago street.
Mrs. Lucas was an eccentric widow,
who had made Omaha her home since
the founding of the city. Her husband
was John G. Lucas, who made his for
tune in the grocery business. Following
his mothers death John Lucas proved
his identity at a local bank and was
surprised to find that the fortune which
he knew to exist had dwindled to $10,
000 After a conference with his two
aunts the three began a systematic
search of the homestead.
After several hours trace was discov-
cred of a board having been removed
in the bedroom, and a tin box contain
ing gold coin was found beneath. The
heirs were still dissatisfied and the
quest was continued until another box
was unearthed in a passa geway run
ming from the cellar under the side
walk. Altogether the money amounted
to $37 900, with SO. 600 in bonds
