An old. decrepit man was in at

will enter the old soldiers home.
He had recently been very i'll and
was without means. His situation
was made known to the convention
by one of the gentlemen present,
who vouched for the old gentle
mans worthiness, and in a few
minutes the decrepit old veteran
of many battles was the possessor
of $12, contributed by the liber-
ality of the stockmen. He was
deeply grateful for the kindness
and a happy smile, perhaps the
first in months. lighted his wan
features as he accepted the money.
His name is Virgil Ware.

An interesting Meeting Of the council
committee on police was held last even
ing. discussion on new workhouse to
be erected on the site of the old city re-
seryoir being the principal feature, and
an appropriation for this purpose viii
shortly be asked of the finance commit
tee. although the scheme has yet to as
sumo more tangible shape.
1t was pointed out that the old reser-
voir has with its basin q splendid ce-
ment floor for new workhouse, and
that 1t has sufficient stone for the build
ing, so that all that Is needed 10 the
service Of inasons. A good substantial
building could be erected there, possess
sing excellent sewerage and other need
ed facilities. No definite action was ta-
ken last night. but ut the committees
next meeting the project win be gone
into in more detail.

submitted to the committee. 1t Is pub
lished elsewhere. Bills were ordered
paid as follows: Prison fund, $lS4 81;

Just before adjournment, Gabriel
Jackson and two other guards from the
workhouse appeared before the commit
tee to ask for an increase OF their
wages, which, Mr.. Jackson. who acted
as spokesman, said were the lowest OF
any other class OF city employees. Their
wages were $40 q month. he said. and
his plea was attentively listened to- for
"Gabe" was in his best form, calling on
his fount Of eloquence which has made
him such power in the trades assem-
bly,.
Mr. Maurer moved that the wages OF
the four guards be increased SO a
month. which would make their wages
$50 a month. Mr.. Knoke was ready to
second the motion, but It developed
that there wasn't a quorum OF the
committee present, so the wage ques-
ton went over.

NOT PIETY, BUT PORK.
Dinners, Not Doubts, Are What Most
Men Are Wrestling with,
Say These Women.

The following bit of non-conformist
humor is taken from THE Earring

speakers are Mrs. Ba teson and Mrs
Hankey, worthy wives, but not al
together above feeling certain pleas
ure in showing up the ways of hus-
bands.
They've no sense, men haven't" said
Mrs. Hankey; that's what's the mat
ter with them"
you never spoke a truer word, Mrs.
Hankey," replied Mrs. Bateson. THE
very best of them don't properly know
the difference between their souls and
their stomachs, and they fancy they
are a-wrestling with their doubts when
really it is their dinners that are a.
wrestling with them.
Now, take Bateson himself" con-
tinued Mrs. Bateson. "a kinder hus-
band or better Methodist never drew
breath; yet, SO sure as be touches a
bit of pork, he begins to worry himself
about the doctrine of election till
there's no living with him. And then

FISH-CATCHING BIRDS.
And Other Birds That Pur1Oin ThefT
Hard-Earned Prey from
Them.

So much to see, if you have eyes to
see, there is not a moment that some
thing wonderful does not take place
At the juncture of the thoroughfare
and island lake, on a dead pine, more
than a hundred feet high, sat white
headed eagle, says Forest and Stream.
In the air large fish-hawk was sailing
over the water, looking for his dinner
two or three hundred feet below him.
What penetrating orbs of vision nature
has endowed this bird with! There he
gives his lightning like shot to tie wa
ter, seems almost submerged, only to
reappear with four-pound pike in his
talons. Slowly he rises, going toward
the woods. where he hopes to enjoy his
well-earned meal; but he has reckoned
without his host. The king of birds
has been watching his every movement,
and if found successful is in readiness
to exact that tribute which the strong
er always demands and compels from
the weak.
Almost as quick as thought the eagle
is pursuing the hawk. and for little
while a merry chase it is. But the
eagle is the master, and the hawk i'm
stinctively feels it. as, after a sudden,
violent swerve, only just to evade the
terrible claws of the now enraged
eagle, he drops the prize and slowly
flies to the other side of the lake.
There is no need for haste now, as
the master was after tribute, not the
hawk. Payment having been made by
relinquishing valuable property the
eagle once more displays his wonder
full activity by catching the pike before
it strikes the water, and then as leisure
ly flies to.cover to gormandiZe.

Special attention is directed to the unit

WRITERS IN THE COUNTRY.
The Best Literary Work Is Done by
Men Whose Homes Are
Outside the Cities.

"See for a moment how the matter Of
residence affects literary people, with
whose work, naturally, l am familiar"
writes Edward Box, in Ladies' Home
Journal of ''The American Man and
the Country" "Pick out the success
full writer's of the day and see where
their homes are. Scarcely in a single
instance will you find one of them liv-
ing in the city. On the other hand, look
at the work done by your literary
denizen of the city and see how it suf-
fers in comparison with that of the
man or woman whose mind rests on
Gods own handiwork. Such writer's
are like pygmies compared to the men
who with fresh minds look over Gods
landscape and reflect the deepest and
truest thoughts of real men and wom-
en-. See how an author-and this is a
constant COMMUNICATING in some
remote country place does great piece
of work, and then, allured by false
prophets, removes to the city and con-
tinues his work there. Is his work the
same? Verify, it is not. Degeneration
takes place as soon as he removes him
self from mans truest surroundings.
And what is true to-day OF men in lit
erary work is equally true of men in
the kindred arts. The great work Of
the world is being done to-day by men
whose lives are spent away from the
great cities"

RAILWAYS OF CHINA.
They Are Few In Number and Those
Are Mostly Controlled by
Foreigners.

China has few railways, the policy
Of foreign exclusion so long in vogue
having prevented their construction,
says the New York Sun. Most of the
lines in existence are in the region
which Is now the scene of military
operations and of the depredations of
the Boxers. A railway 80 miles long,
belonging to an English company, ex-
tends from the port of Tientsin north
to Picking. AT Fengtal, five miles
south of Peking on this line, begins
the Belgian ''Lu-Han" railway, which
extends southwest 70 miles to Paot-
ingfu, where the Boxers have been
particularly active. Both the English
and the Belgian lines have been large
ly destroyed by the rioters. From
Tientsin railway extends 287 miles
eastward to Chenchou, and there are
branches aggregating so miles. Alto
gether the English system has 407
miles and the Belgian 88. It is the
former that Is to be ultimately con-
nected with Moukden, in the Russian
sphere, where it will connect with the
Siberian railway. About 60 miles of
the American Hankan-Peking line has
been graded, but work is now stopped.
