PadereWski's Pride.

At the age Of 27 PadereWski was in
Paris-whither seem to go all poor
musicians, not when they die, but
when they struggle to live. He con-
fesses that he was miserably poor
that he owed much. that the future
seemed to have nothing for him. But
the day came when he met Polish
princess, who was so impressed with
his powers that she offered him the
sum of 100 francs to play at her house.
Unable to indulge in the luxury of
carriage, he walked there and played.

fatigue he was probably in those days
more at home in the cafe where the
fragrant cup at three sous. Of which
Alphonse Daudet speaks lovingly, was
vended), offered to send him home in
her carriage. But with pride in his
eyes, and defiance in his mien. the
pianist declined. Madame" said he,
my carriage is at the door" And
with that he walked out. Such an at
titude was one to win a wOman's SYM
pathy. His new patroness was de-
lighted both with his marvellous gifts
and his graceful bearing. She spoke
Of him in the salons. Engagements
began to come swiftly. In a few
years his name was ringing through
the city. And from that time he never
looked back-Golden Penny.

Innogene.

Sad sons OF woe, the weird wind
weaves.
And murmur sweet and low
In tender sympathy the leaves
And tinkling brook below.
For Imogene no longer strays
Beneath the grateful shade.
Her eyes iIIumined by the rays
OF Iove-light-half afraid.
The listening flowers and brook and
trees
Her secret should divine.
And then the idle, tattling breeze
To publish it decline.
Funeral songs the weird wind weaVes,
The dirge of broken hearts.
In strain in which it always grieVes
For souls when torn apart.
Yet family, sweetly, from afar
There breathes another strain.
"In spite Of every earthly bar
Your souls can ne'er be twain"
when welcome Death with icy finger
Unlocks thy prison door,
Your souls will not an instant linger
Till met to part no more"

AUNT CHARETTE.

They had raided Aunt Charette. In
answer to repeated complaints from
the respectable element in Fort Kent
the officers had come up there and had
swooped on the liquor dealers. And
chief among the liquor dealers was
Aunt Charette. In fact, she was the
local wholesaler. She was thrifty,
was Aunt Charette. She had credit

Gold beads and a black silk dress
o Sundays did Aunt Charette wear.
Broad was she, with amplitude of
waist and scarcity of lap, She sat all
day long in her little sitting room and
interrupted her knitting only long
enough to answer calls at the door
Sometimes the caller would be a man
from Conner with gray wool trousers
and peaked cap. Another would be a
Frenchville citizen with empty jugs

Japan is Worse Than China.

A comparison of the character Of
the two nations presents a series of
the most remarkable contrasts. The
Chinese are the most democratic
people the world has ever seen and
every attempt to fasten upon them a
feudal system or nobility has ut
terly failed. Their rulers have ever
risen from the humblest classes by
merit and no reform has ever sue
ceeded until the people themselves
have arisen in their might and de-
manded it. AS a commercial people
their business integrity is recognized
as unequaled. Their moral standards
and ideals are clean and sound and
the average of practice compares
favorably with that of our Anglo
Saxon. Their ethical system and
philosophy are conservative and dis
tinctly Teutonic in character.
The Japanese, on the other hand,
have from the earliest times recog-
nized the feudal system and main
tanned a hereditary nobility. The
aristocracy has kept the people in
subsection and the masses have &C
copied such government as their feu-
dial lords have seen fit to give them.
They have developed no civilization
Of their own. All that they have that
is worth anything is borrowed from
the Chinese. Their language, their
writing, their literature, their religion,
their philosophy, their knowledge of
business and their system of coinage
are all taken from the Chinese. The
best strains in their blood are those
that have fed from China, and even
their present reigning dynasty is
descended from a renegade China
man. But the cunning, obliQue and
superficial Malay character in their
blood has made it impossible for
them to truly assimilate anything
that they have borrowed.
Their moral standards are fantastic
n the extreme, while their lack of
commercial integrity is proverbial.
An unmarried woman could bear sew
eral children by different fathers yet
neither lose her social position nor in
jure her chances of marriage. For
centuries they would not even trust
each other, but left the business of
banking entirely in the hands Of
Chinese, while at present the cashiers
and trusted men of all the great
houses doing business in Japan are
Chinese.-Guy Morrison Walker, in
Leslie's Weekly.

USED HER UMBRELLA ON HIM.
Mrs. Murhed Attacked Former Bust
ness Partner in Lower Broadway.

ness Partner in Lower Broadway.
Pedestrians on lower Broadway en-
ioyed the sight of a woman banging a
man over the head with her umbrella
in front of 300 Broadway until the
mans hat was smashed, his head cut
and he was otherwise pretty badly
used up. There was no policeman
around and one of the spectators
helped the woman on to an uptown
Broadway car after the fun was over.
The man refused to tell why she had
whipped him.
Il am Frederick Link he said, ''the
brother of David Link, broker and
a member of the Produce Exchange.
The woman was Mrs. Mary Murhed,
who lives at 232 Ninth avenue"
He refused to talk any more about
the case.
Mrs. Murhed was seen at her home
last evening. "That man Link" she
said, was a partner of my husband
and myself in a livery stable business.
The business failed and went down
town to see if | could collect some
money from Link. My husband told
me to go to Links lawyer, Baggott
& Ryall, at 300 Broadway. AS went
through the door I saw Link talking
at the telephone. I was so mad that
I wanted to whip him then and there,
but l didn't want to make a scene in
the lawyers offices, so l went down to
the street entrance and waited for
him. When he came down l asked
him if he would pay me. He told me
not to make such row on the street.
Then I got mad and I hit him with
my umbrella. I am sorry that this
thing got in the newspapers, but if I
had to do it over again think I
would act just as I did this morning
Mrs. Murhed said she did not fear
that Link would try to have her ar
rested.-New York Sun.

that time you will have a chance to
talk this thing over with your friends.
I'll make cut the bond
No" declared Uncle Charette. "Eei
yo'-
Now you and l and all the rest of US
know that this isn't the way the pro-
hibition statute usually operates-and
it isn't the way the authorities like to
have it operate And then, too, there
was an old woman, who had never been
away from home in all her life. who
had grown-up children, who had knit
ed in that little kitchen there. in the
village OF Fort Kent and had looked
out through the little window at the
passersby until she had become one of
the local landmarks. There wasn't one
person in the village who wanted to
see her go down to Hoult0n in that
manner.
But there she and Uncle Charette sat
without looking at each other. Every
one knew that Aunt Charette had
money enough to pay the fine. Uncle
Charette's name on the bond would
keep her at home.
But Aunt Charette would not answer
a word. And all Uncle Charette would
say was:
"'She think she batter go. She'll be
all r-r-rat I'll kip house till she COM
back. We've talk bout dat ting SOM,
and we t'ink dat prap she batter go
down dere."
Well under those circumstances the
law had to take its course. The old
couple shook hands on the platform
outside the door. The husband got into
the crazy chaise and rode away behind
the fuzzy old white horse. The deputy
sheriff, after great effort, boosted Aunt
Charette in over the side of his piano
box buggy and started on the 6O-mile
drive to Caribou, there to take the
train for HouIton-Lewiston (Me.)

The Silent Searchers-
When the darkness of night has
fallen,

When the darkness of night has
fallen,
And the birds are fast asleep,
An army of silent searches
From the dusky shadows creep;
And over the quite meadows,
Or amid the waving trees,
They wander about with their tiny
lamps
That flash in the evening breeze.
And this army of silent searches,
Each with his Pickering light,
Wanders about till the morning
Has driven away the night.
What treasures they may he seeking
No man upon earth can know;
Perhaps it's the home of the fairies,
Who lived in the long ago.
For an ancient legend tells us
That once, when the fairy king
Had summoned his merry Ministries
At the royal feast to sing,
The moon, high over the tree-tops,
With the stars, refused to shine,
And an army with tiny torches
Was called from the oak and pine.
And when by the imps Of darkness,
The fairies were chased away,
The army began it's searching
At the close of a dreary day;
Through all the years that have
followed,
The seekers have searched the night
Piercing the gloom of the darkness
With the flash Of their magic light.
Would you see the magical army?
Then come to the porch with me!
Yonder, among the hedges,
And near the maple tree,
Over the fields of clover,
And down in the river damp,
The fre-fies search till the morning,
Each with his Pickering lamp.

PROUD OF HIS FAMILY.
Lord Roberts Is Greatly Devoted to
His Wife and Mourns His Son.

AS husband and father Lord Rob-
erts, or 'Bobs" as the soldiers and peo-
pie generally are wont to call him, is
a model in every respect. If common
report is to be believed, the most pre-
feet sympathy has existed between
Lord and Lady Roberts since they
were MARI ed Al years ago, and Lady
Roberts, herself the daughter of sol
der, has always been able to associate
herself with the chief interest in life
Of her husband. Her work in India in
the cause of the soldiers wives will
long be remembered by the English,
and among her own sex she is as much
beloved as Lord Roberts is by men,
says a London paper.
The death Of their son at Colenso
came all the more severely to Lord and
Lady Roberts, as they were a singular
ly affectionate and united family. The
greatest affection existed between the
distinguished father and his promising
son. Lord Roberts was most anxious
that his son would achieve distinction
in the same profession, and his
valuable experience and sympathy
we're always at his sons service.
''Bobs" was very proud of his sons
prowess in the saddle. At a race meet
ing some time ago in Ireland Roberts
rode clean away from the field and
won By dozen lengths. my son
must not be encouraged to ride; a sol
der has to keep all his abilities in the
service" said Lord Roberts, and then
with a burst of paternal pride, but in
all my life I never saw anyone ride
better race"

STATE BOARD
WARNS PHYSICIANS.
Says They Must Report Gases of
Smallpox-Yaws Doesn't Go, Ac-
cording to the Board.

Des Moines, Dec. 24.-The state
board of health is determined to pun
ish physicians who resist or interfere
with quarantine of infectious diseases
in the future. The board has had a
great deal of trouble with doctors who,
either from ignorance or a desire to
protect patients from the rigors of
quarantine against scarlet fever or
smallpox, have insisted that these dis
eases were something else that did
not require strict quarantine.
One remarkable case is reported
from Eddyville, where a doctor by the
name of Brunt minutely described a
disease which he called yaws, which
is a disease peculiar to the races in
Africa and in the East Indies. The de-
scription given by DR.. Brunt does not
in the least correspond with the best
authorities on the subject, and it dem
onstrates, members of the board say
that he did not know what he was
talking about.
Doctors who make such mistakes in
the future and cause the spread OF
contagious diseases by their ignorance
or neglect will be summoned before
the state board of medical examiners
to show cause why their certificates
shall not be revoked for incompetency
Secretary Kennedy of the board says
that this notice means business an6
that the doctors will find il out il
! there is any further trouble, of this
kind.

coRRALLED M A BARN.
Citizens Run Down Bank Robbers and
Capture Them.


Montfort, Wis, Dec. 24.-An at
tempt to blow open the safe of the
bank here owned by P. T. Stevens
early yesterday morning, resulted in
the capture of the robbers after a
sharp fight with the citizens.
About 2 o'clock in the morning NJ.
r. Doran, who lives near the bank.
was aroused by a loud explosion. He
Jumped up and threw open the Win
dow. There seemed to be something
wrong at the bank, and he yelled
Fire" Immediately following his
cry came three explosions, which
aroused the citizens, who came pouring
out into the streets, armed with what
ever weapons they could pick up.
By this time the robbers, four in
number, finding they were likely to be
captured, left the bank and started on
run for the depot, near which they
had hand car in waiting. They
jumped on this and made off down the
line toward Ridgeway.
AS soon as possible another hand
car was got out, and, with seven well
armed men on board, started in pur-
suit of the flying robbers. Three
miles from Ridgeway the posse found
the first hand car thrown from the
track The robbers were tracked to
barn, where they were corralled, and
finally surrendered. The bank was
badly wrecked.

Washington, Dec 24.-Secretary
Hay has received a cablegram from
Congef az Peking, announcing that he
has signed the agreement reach
ed by the foreign ministers,
but has done SO with a
written explanatory statement setting
forth the exact position of the govern
ment. The text of the statement was
not forwarded by Conger, but it is un-
derstoodto be based upon the last in
struction he received from the depart
ment which, while disappearing the
inclusion in the agreement of some of
the more severe language, he accept
ed as the best arrangement that
could be made at this time. 1t is be-
lieved also that the United States,
while sanctioning the provisions of
the agreement relative to the main
tenance of the permanent lines of COM
munication with legation guards and
the prohibition of the importation of
arms into China, indicates clearly that
constitutional reasons prevent the ex-
ecutive from making any pledge to
take part in the execution OF these
plans

WHITE REPUBLICANS
A New Plan to Establish the Party in
the South.

Washington, Dec. 24.-It is practic-
ally settled that the experiment OF try
ing to establish white republican
party in the south is to be entered in
to with vigor. North Carolina is the
state selected for the first effort. Sen
aIor Pritchard, the astute and energet-
ic leader of the republican party in
North Carolina believes the movement
will gain force and result in a revolu-
ton. He has shaped all his affairs
with view to this end. He has
shaped all his affairs to this end. He
does not believe in the appointment of
negroes to federal offices, and there
are few if any colored officeholders
in that state.
