DRESS AS WELL AS YOU CAN.

This story is told in Denver of a man
who was once leading merchant there.
In the early days Of the city he walked
its streets out of work and money.
He was poorly clad, but neat and clean.
He sought employment from pros
porous grocer and said he was willing
to do anything. The merchant at
length sent him into his cellar to clean
out room so foully dirty that many
a common laborer had refused to enter
it. When the young man appeared in
the evening, he was as neat in his ap-
pearance as he had been in the morn
ing. OF course the merchant thought
he had done little or nothing. But
when he saw the cellar, clean and fresh,
he said to the young man:
"You've not only shown that you
are willing to work, but also that you
have some respect for yourself. Iguess
ii give you JoD.
This young man, who in a few years
became the head of the self-same busi-
ness, realized the important fact that
the worker is often scrutinized as close
ly as his work.
1t is mans duty toward his fellow
men to dress as we'll as he can afford
to. Nowhere in nature does the poor
ly dressed man find any excuse for his
lack. Even the lowest forms of animal
and plant life are clothed in pleasing
colors.
Reptiles crawl in richly mottled
skins; hearts Of burden and birds of
prey are clad in fur and gay plumage.
Trees blossom in wonderful foliage,
and the most plebean of vegetables,
the onion, revels below the ground in
colors that artists seek to initiate and
above ground in the LEAKAGE and bloom
odd and beautiful.
Everywhere in nature beauty is CON-
bined with use. 1t remains for man,
the highest and noblest speciman of
the Creators handiwork, to he the
daub in the color scheme of the uni
verse.

"That's your own fault, I'll venture

Mr.. Howe says: 'Women do not
fall in love any more" All, we'll.
When the time comes that men and
women do not fall in love, you may
just nickle-plate this poor old world
and sell it for moon. There will he
nobody on it when that time comes.
Women don't fall in love any more?
Of course not; they can't perform i'm
possibilities, and they cannot fall in
love any moro than they do, unless the
years are made longer.

A Bitter Night.

1t was New Years eve, and one OF
the very blackest and hard. SITS of frosts
gripping all Nature in its savage grasp
and doing its best to seize upon hui
manity as well, as many a poor, halt
frozen, covering wretch could testify.
But it was something blacker and
more deadly than the frost that chilled
the current of Mary Morton's blood,
as she stood in the bay-window of her
warm and com Portable parlor, clutch
ing the crimson curtain in one hand,
while the other lay clenched above her
heart, and her unseeing eyes steadfast-
ly fixed upon the scene without.
A handsome, stately woman, in the
prime of an imperial beauty, and, as
the world always saw her, wearing an
expression of naughty serenity and con-
scious power that had more than once
drawn from the lips, principally OF
other women, the criticism that "Mrs.
Morton was too proud to have much
feeling"
They would not have said it had
they watched her face tonight; had
they marked the deathly pallor of her
face, the culver OF her lips when not
controlled by the cruel grip of the
teeth above, the glitter of her dark
eyes, and the unconscious gathering of
the straight, dark brows.
If ever the agony of tortured heart
was made manifest in human face, it
was imprinted upon the face of that
woman, handsome, statel ely, prosperous,
respected and admired by all the world,
standing there in the winter twilight,
gazing out upon the village street,
along which hurried, at intervals, the
few whose duties or necessities still de-
tain them out of doors.
Presently, among them, appeared a
tall and fine looking man, not hasten
ing like the rest, not appearing con-
scious of tie bitter cold like them, for
he walked slowly, his eyes fixed upon
the ground, his overcoat not buttOned,
and his gloves clenched in one hand,
while the other was thrust deep into
his breast, as if to grasp and control
some singing pain then ram ant.
"Lawyer Morton is thinking up bis
argument in that murder case, |
reckon remarked one Of the two
neighbors, whom he met and passed
without rcco 5nition, to the other; but
Mary Morton, watching that slow
moving figure, and straining her eyes
to distinguish the stern. bent face, NUT
tered to herself:
lie remembers the day! He re-
members it!''
Then she dropped the curtain, and
seizing a book, seated herself beside
the fire in her usual low chair. There
her husband found her when lie present
ly entered. and, with unuttercd VOID
of greeting, began moodily to pace up
and down the room with bent head and
folded arms.
The tea-bell rang, and silently the
two sat down to an elegantly, appointed
and dciicately served table; but neither
fragrant Pcko or dainty fool had taste
or SAVIOR to either OF those somber
guests, and after the pretence ola meal
Mr.. Motion glanced impatiently at his
wife, absorbed in conte mplation of her
empty teacup. and, pushing back his
chair, muttered something about an en-
gagement, and presently left the house.
Mrs Morton looked after him with
eyes ,ull Of anguish, and sat until the
servant, impatient to reach her own

THE MOTHERS PRAYER.

THE MOTHERS PRAYER.
Starting forth on lite's rough way,
Father. guide them;
., we know not what of harm
May betide them!
Meath the shadow of thy wing,
Father, hide them;
Walking, sleeping, Lord, we pray,
Go beside them.
When in prayer they cry to Thee.
Do Thou hear them;
From the strains of sin and shame
Do Thou clear them:
Mid the quicksand and the rocks
DO thou steer them;
In temptation, trial, grief,
Be Thou near them.
Unto Thee we give them up;
Lord, receive them.
In the world we know must be
Much to greve them
Many striving oft and strong
To deceive them;
rrustful, in Thy hands of love
We must leave them.

A NEW YEARS SUGGESTION
AGAINST WORRY.

Why shadow the beauty OF sea or of land
With doubt a fear?
God holds all the swift rolling worlds in His hand
And sees what no man can as yet understand
That out Of life here,
With its smile and its tear,
Comes forth INTO light from Eternity planned,
The soul of good cheer.
Don't worry
The end shall appear.

DENCE OF DISORDERLY con-
DUCT THERE.

District Attorney Gardiner yesterday afternoon
received a letter from Lewis S. Goebel, lawyer,
relative TO notice sent Monday to Henry j.
Schile, the reputed owner Of McGurks place. at
No. 2s5 Bowery, setting forth that the place is a
disorderly resort and asking for It's abatement Mr
Goebel in his letter says that Henry J. Schile is
not the owner OF the place mentioned, but that
Romeo H. Sche. his son. is. Mr.. Goebel says that
Romeo H. Schie is ready to proceed against the
tenants II 1t be legally shown to him that the
place is being conducted in Illegal manner The
District Attorney furnished him with the proof and
asked that steps be taken at to abate the
nuisance.
Assistant District Attorney Mcintyre said in dis
cussing the matter: This is a buf I will show
him through the evidence OF three that they

PEANUT PERSECUTION.
EVEN THE POOR GREEK FRUIT PEDLERS
ARE BLACKMAILED BY THE POLICE.

That the Tammany police do not confne its
blackmailing operation to those who well afford
10 pay is evident every citizen who has watched
them help themselves to fruit and nuts-whenever
the humor seizes them-which the street pedlers
carry on their pushcarts. They also drive these
poor men, with foul tongue and heavy club, from
corner with unnecessary vigilance unless
they pay something for protection" Then they
can remain in spot long they like.
Since the fruit peddling business in this city has
fallen chiefly into the hands of Greeks, Demetrtus
n Botassi the local Consul General of Greece, has
decided 10 take official action in regard 10 the
numerous complaints of police persecution received
at the consulate from Greek fruit vendors. He said
yesterday that he would place the matter before
Mr.. Van Wyck with the hope that the Mayor would
instruct the police to cease their discrimination.
Although these pedlers have licenses which permit
them TO stop ten minutes in place, they COM
plain that the police keep them continually moving.
In many cases they arrested and roughly
handled.

The Chief also had this to say:

The line must be drawn somewhere. Those places
where music was stopped by the District Attor-
neys orders, in my opinion do not violate the law
and the Magistrates will have to settle these mat
tiers on evidence presented to them before I can
take action. We might well close up Rectors
Shanley's, the Metropole and the Rossmore, be-
cause they have music as well the other places.
