1. -
that Durbin's refusal to honor the re-
QUESTION was not unexpected. but the
remarkable letter with which you ac-
companied the return of the papers
was indeed a surprise to me-
II Is true ! had been reliably informed
that you had incurred campaign obliga-
tiOns which committed you to the pro-
lection Of these two valuable adjuncts
to your political fortunes. and that they
had been promised immunity from az
rest under acquisitions from Kentucky
authorities in the event of your cleo

least entitled TO the credit of having
faithfully carried out your reputed
agreement with them.

discredit upon the high position you
hold But even with this understand
ing OF your embarrassing position: con-

by the law and Justice and on the other
by miserable political bargain.

"A mad, foolish proceeding" said
Lyster Ayrton. "A long walk to the
station and a journey to London are
not the most fitting things for you to
night, Sybil."
Let me Judge" she replied; and the
sound OF her voice awed even him.

squire held her in his arms, how Irene

away with a shudder Of heartfelt de

on smoothly. Being true to me, and
all that kind Of thing is very well in
its way, but / wanted to stay with you,
not for you to come with me-"
She made him no answer; they
heard the sound Of her weeping die
away on the summer night, and in an
other minute she was out Of sight.
No words can paint the despair of
those she left behind, with the mock
cry of the morrows wedding grandeur
all about them-the flowers, the
dresses, the numerous preparations.
The squire shut himself up in his
room, and never left it for meny long
weeks The whole burden fell upon
Irene. 1t was she who had to tell the
news-how Mrs. Ayrton's husband,
whom everybody believed dead, had
suddenly returned it was she who

After a fow weeks Sir Rupert went

man the bravo and gallant
lover whose love had ended so fatally.
A gloom deeper and darker than night
fell upon GlyEn, shutting out those
who lived there from the light of day.
Two years passed, and no change
came. Sybil wrote occasionally, but
there was nothing in her letters save
love for them. Sho never spoke OF
herself, never named Sir Rupert, mover
said whether sLo was happy or miser-
able; they knew nothing of her; and
though he loved her so dearly, the
squire would rather gho had died than
have passed 50 completely out OF his

friend gives her in the street. Shs

gong to pay that morning, and where
is she going to put the half dozen
samples she has culled out of the
stores as the result of a mornings
work, if not in her pocketbook? The
finger purse was not adapted to such
usages, so gussets were put in to allow
stretching room for the compartments.
The next improvement was made
this year. Manufacturers saw that a
coin pocket inside, shutting with a
clasp, would render the little purse
much more practical, and now almost

MODEST YOUNG sPEcuLAToR.
Phillips Lives Quietly and Is Little
but Merry.

George II. Phillips, the young Chi.
cago Spectator who engineered the cor.
ner in corn, is not yet 80 years of age,
and he has only been a dealer upon
the board of trade for a period of eight
years, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The extremely boyish appearance Of
the big bull has occasioned no end OF
remark since he jumped into such
prominence last week. Phillips is
slender and short of stature, is light,
almost pale, complexioned, with light
eyes and hair and a man of unpreten.
tious appearance and address. He is
so modest and unassuming that the
notoriety he has attained and the at.
tention which he has attracted have
been almost painful to him. The
young gentleman is not working for
fame and he doesn't want any of ii.
He simply wants to buy corn AM be

A JAPANESE CHARACTER.
The Crafty Jinrikisha-man the 5ane
and Blessing of Travellers.

The Crafty Jinrikisha-man the 6ane
and Blessing of Travellers.
Onoto Watanna, the gifted Japanese
writer, writing in the Woman's Home
Companion, gives this description of
the most picturesque laborer of her
native land: The jinrikisha-man
waits at the street-cOrners and solicits
fares, though this is contrary to the
exact police regulations. However
the jinrikisha-man is not always as
prinCipled as he might be, and has
little, if any, regard for the police or
his regulations. He has no com.
junction whatever in overcharging the
scale of fares set by the police, but as
a rule the customer himself pays but
little attention to this. The fare is
usually higgled over before riding, and
while they walk, and sometimes great
distances are covered before terms
have been reached. The jinrikisha-
man also generally (unlawfully) de-
mandS drinkmOney especially when
he is forced to wait at tea-houses or
pleasure resorts on the road. He is
constantly being set on by the police
for charging more than agreed on,
threatening to put down female Gus
toners unless his demands are &C
coded to. A woman hiring a vehicle,
for instance, may sometimes find her
self within impossible walking dis.
lance of any town or point, and a surly
man demanding extra fare or threaten
ing to dump her. Counter-threats
do not affect him. Better pay and be
Zone with it. However, when you
have melted his heart with a handful
of sen he becomes friend worth hay
ing. 1t is true he may spot you as
being one whom it is worth his while
to keep in touch with during your
visit the city, and you will find it
difficult to leave your hotel without
encouutering him hard by, Emporium
ately soliciting your patronage, though
on each and every occasion he will
call to you as though you were an
utter stranger to him and he has never
seen you before, or does not appear to
recognize you as the person who
tipped him so well the previous day"

FALLACY OF BOILS.
Few Skin Diseases Contagious, Says
an Authority.

an Authority.
1T is an mistaken article of belief
with most people that skin diseases
are almost always catching; that they
show that the sufferers themselves or
their parents are no better than they
should be; that they indicate that the
blood is bad that you must be CAREFUL
or you will drive it in and the
patient will die, if nothing more, and
that a boil is worth five dollars in
doctors bills saved. They are all
wrong, teetotally wrong, on the very
best medical authority Not more
than two or three of the hundred or so
skin diseases catalogued are catching,
and the chances are that the eruption
is as innocent and as innocuous as q
cold. If there is such a thing as bad
blood medicine has not found it out.
Next to nothing is known in regard 10
the condition of blood in disease.
Chemical and miCroscopical study
has utterly failed to show that there
is any difference between the blood in
health and the blood in cutaneous dis
orders. Certain of them are sympto-
matte of nervous breakdown, and i'm
perfect digestion causes others.
Tomatoes, bananas, Strawberries,
shellfsh and other articles of diet,
harmless to most of us, cause a rash
to break out on others. Evidently the
medical profession does not fear
driving the disease in for the treat
ment for cutareous affections is now
wholly local. A boil is an acute in
fiammation of the tissues surrounding
the hair-follicle by a germ, generally
the staphylocoCcus pyagenes aureus.
l thought you might like to know the
name. Boils come upon the just and
the unjust, on those who have good
blood and those who have bad blood.
What forms inside the tormenting
thing it not the strained-out impurities
of the blood, for pus does not exist in
the blood. 1t is of local formation. A
boil is not worth five cents, let alone
five dollars. 1t is just what your I'M
tutored Imagination says it is, con-
founded nuisance. If anybody owed
me five dollars and could either pay
it in cash or boils, whichever pre-
ferred, should take the cash every
time, even at a discount. l think |
should get more comfort that way"

Washington, Jan. 3.-Without dis
sent, without a word of comment, the
senate today displaced the shipping
subsidy bill from it's privileged posi-
ton as unfinished business and sub
stituted for it the army reorganization
bill. Second day of the pres
ent session the shipping bill has
been unfinished business with the I'M
Outstanding that it should not inter
fere with consideration OF the army re-
organization bill or of the appropria-
ton bills.
Washington, Jan. 3.-The radical
element among the house republicans
from the southern states in which
the franchise is abridged suffered de-
feat today because a number of their
colleagues refused to act with them.
The issue was precipitated quite un-
cxpectedly. The leaders had decreed
that the reapportionment bill should
be taken up, but before it could be
called, Mr.. Olmsted (Pa) offered a
resolution reciting the alleged abridge
ment of suffrage in Louisiana, Miss
issippi South and North Carolina
and directed the committee on census
to investigate and report the facts to
the house in order that a constitution
al basis of representation could be es.
tabIished for those states. The reso-
luton created a sensation. Leaders
on the democratic side sought in vain
to head off the resolution with points
of order but the speaker ruled against
them. They then began filibustering,
openly avowing they would fight every
looking to the reduction of
representation from the southern
states to the bitter end. Several of
the republicans were secretly in sym
pathy with them, and many of them
quietly paired with absent democrats,
leaving their absent colleagues un.
paired AS a result the resolution was
defeated, 81-S3 The vote was a strict
party one.

THE FINGER PURSE.
A New Fad for Western Girls to
Follow.


Eyes" said the artist in leather
goods, looking lovingly at a finger
purse he held in his hand, according
to the New York Sun, "it is a beauty,
and 81 is a small price for it. It's the
latest thing in finger purses. Curious,
isn't it, how that particular kind of
purse came into favor. 1t wasn't an
invention, you know, simply an adap-
tation. We have had finger purses in
this shop for forty years, but we didn't
call them finger purses, though
You've seen men use them hundred
times.
That's the original of the finger
purse" he continued, taking from the
show case leather purse similar to
the one he held in his hand, but
smaller, This is what men have been
using. The English form of it, from
which probably we borrowed ours, is
called a buckskin. The buckskin has
no strap by which to hold it, though.
Now, Just trace the evolution of the
finger purse. 1t was adopted in the
first place from England, and in our
edition of it was furnished with a
strap. The mans purse, you see, has
no pocket in the back. and the com.
partment in TIE inside is without a
gusset, see? It is stitched close to
the back The idea was to use it only
for silver. The cross strap was meant
simply to hold the flap down. But one
day some absent minded woman, play.
ing with one of these purses, slipped
the strap over her forefinger, saw the
convenience of it and straightway
turned an accidental discovery into a
| fad
AT first women had to take mems
purses as they found them. A woman
can't resist the temptation of stufing
her pocketbook with all sorts Of
