cured by FoFgeT1Ing.

This is an English story, and, strange
as it may seem, it made hit when IL
was told at the Lambs club, says the
New York Telegraph. 1t was perpe-
trated by Lawrence d'Orsay, the Eng.
nsh actor. Several members of the
club spun yarns Of dubious merit,
when Mr.. d'Orsay in his peculiar way
began:
"Now, gentlemen, I'll relate a story"
One man present pulled out his
watch, and they all thought it was go
ing to be serial. One or two started
to 60, but the actor stopped them by
his assurance that the story wouldn't
be very long.
There was friend Of mine in Lon
dom" he said, "who was an incessant
cigarette smoker. Finally he lost his
memory. Then he forgot to smoke Gig
arettes, and he got well again"
Mr.. d'Orsay effected his escape
through the assistance of a friend who
knew him when he didn't tell such sto-
ries.

TIRED MOTHERS.

a Mttle elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has SO much to bear;
child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch Of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours so tight
You do not prize this blessing overmuch;
You are almost too tired to pray tonight.
But it is blessedness! A year ago
did not see it as I do today;
We are so dull and thankless and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away,
And now it seems surprising strange to me
That, while wore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And If some night, when you sit down to rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired knee,
This restless, curling head from on your breast,
This lisping tongue that clatters constantly;
II from your own the dimpled hands had slipped
And meier would nestle in your palm, again;
If the white feet into their grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heartache then!
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
II / could kiss rosy, restless foot
And hear q patter In my home once more;
II could mend broken cart today,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky,
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than ].
But, ali, the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining headl
Ny singing birding from its nest has flown;
The little boy used to kiss is dead!

ANXIETY OVER a. ToMcAT.

A Mystery Which Was Explained by
..a a Wall street Man. ~
It was in Broadway pharmacy. a
reporter was waiting with others when
the druggist stepped to the telephone
and, after getting the number he called
for, said: %
''What is that tomcat doing"
He listened with apparent excitement
and added:
GLOW is spinach?
After holding the receiver to his ear
for a few moments he rang off and
started to attend to his customers. He
seemed nervous, however, and finally
excused himself in the midst Of filing
an order and called up the same num-
Der on the telephone again.
'SeU my tomcat at the market" ne
said as soon as he had some one at the
other end.
Then he returned to his customer
with apparent ease of mind. The re-
porter wondered what the druggist
meant by this strange conversation IN
til it was explained by Wall street
speculator. "Tomcat," it seems, is a
pet name among brokers for Tennessee
Coal and Iron stock. Spinach" is the
familiar name for Southern Pacific.
The druggist had evidently bought
"tomcat" low, and his excitement was
caused by his eagerness to take prof
it's"
These are not the only stocks that
have pet names in ''the street" Peo-
pies Gas of Chicago is known as Post
Office" and Brooklyn Rapid Transit is
known among many as Little Manhat-
tan" The names are not the same in
all brokers' Offices. The jargon ena-
bles customers to give orders over the
telephone to their brokers with a GER
tain amount of secrecy. The practice
is as old as ''the market New York

THE SECRET OF MARX, TWAIN'S
SUCCESS.

oOOSE0So
Mark Twain's literary hold on the
world is so innocent of all tradition
and logic that the challenge to ex-
plain the situation is an irresistible
one to those who talk about him or
write about him, though it does not
particularly worry people when they
read him. The gentlemen who have
made study of such matters haye
said his literary style is naught; that
his stories are RECONSTRUCTED, accord
ing to the esthetic standards; that
his travel sketches are inconsequen-
tial and scrappy; that his historical
novels do not create the atmosphere
OF their time, and so forth,-yet these
same gentlemen do not deny that he
is a great writer, nor do they pretend
to withstand his fascination. Indeed,
Mark Twian is curiously fortunate in
his ability to hold the attention Of
the men who make books and writing
their business, as we'll as men who
have no interest whatever in books
or reading except when the interest
is compelled by such an irresistible
person as Mr., Clemens. This can
not be- for the mere reason of Mark
Twain's humor, although such inimit-
able humor is a platform on which
very varied tvnes and grades of intel
;ecL may GleeJ congenially. It must
be because the keynote of everything
Mr.. Clemens writes is his enmity to
shan, hypocrisy, and pretense-a note
vibrating the fbels of manliness in
every reader-and because, whether
he is a good novel-writer or not, he is
a born story-telIer, with the highest
art of the typical American raconteur,
with all his intuitive and acquired
knowledge of human nature, his cool
mastery of climaxes, and his audaci-
ty. 1t is his distinction that he is so
thoroughly the American. There is
no meridian of his country that he
does not know, whose people he does
not understand, whose life he has not
lived. He comes to his subject, be it
d European cathedral or a village
school boy, or an absurd sentimental
ity, with the cool, healthy, vigorous
bearing of man born and bred in
the atmosphere of work and fact,
where trifing or falsenood means
disaster. It has been remarked more
than once how suggestive Of the
American eagle are Mr.. Clemens'bear-
ing, his piercing eye, and falcon pro-
file.-From "A Sketch of Mark
Twain" in the American Monthly Re-
view of Reviews for January.

PHILIPPINE TARIFFS.

One of the most interesting things
in the report of General Macarthur is
HIS statement showing the great ms
oroase in customs collected at Mani
Ia over those taken in during Span
;sb times, This is not to say that the
amount of goods imported has been
greater. for the contrary is oe,leVeo
to be the case. Nor does it result
from a change in rates, for these have
been practically unchanged Never
theless, the customs receipts were
more than twice as large as for 1885,
the last peaceful year under Spanish
administration; they we're l2' per
cent more than those for 1896, and
nearly three times those for 1885,
They were % per cent greater than
the entire revenues of the Spanish
colonial government from all sources.
LII, .oseipts 70, ti,o fist Gl Two months
in the current fiscal year surpass
those for the entire year OF 1899 ana
are within $4,000 of the entire re-
cnipts for 1891. The,revival OF COM
MERGE during the last few months
has been so great that there is likely
to be- a decided increase in receipts
during the rest of the year, but even
at the presen. ratio the total for the
current year will surpass $4,000, 900,
or four times the average for the last
eight years of Spanish rule. There
is. of course, but. one explanation for
this state of affairs, and that is that
the custom office is more honestly
mane ged nowadays than it was under
Spain, when the collectors could re-
tire with substantial fortunes aiLer
being il Office for year or two. In
fact, the Mckinley administration
has cause tc congratulate itself on
The record for honesty and economy
it has made. Every Department OF
the Government has been managed
more cheaply and honestly than any
private business. The collection OF
Customs and Internal Revenue, for
insta g, which reach such an enor-
nous total, costs less proportionally
than any similar class of work in the
country. Last year it cost three
tenthe OF one per cent to collect the
revenue Of this Government from
customs, which includes the losses as
we'll as the salaries and other ex-
penses. It cost 1.58 per cent to col
lect the Internal Revenue taxes,
which also includes all losses as well
as expenses Of every description. It
is practically impossible to steal from
the Gov srnn ent in the United States,
whatever may be possible in the
colonies. This, of course, is not the
popular belief, most people i.nagin-
ing that the affairs of the Federal
government are managed with extra
vagance and are "honeycombed with
corruption" That is favorite OK
preston of the campaign orators of
the party, out there is no
basis for it.
