Surely a Gentleman.

In far-off years Sir Walter Scott WIS.,
tied the first Lord Plunkett, who was
tnen Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and
was taken to see the ruins of the
Seven Churches of Glendalough, one
Of the sights of Ireland.
One of the most romantic spots is
st. Kevin's Bed, cave which requires
a scramble over rocks to enter. Sir
Walter, in spite of his lameness, pene-
trated the Shrine" an old peasant
woman lending him willing hand.
On the return, the Lord Chancellor
asked her if she knew how great n
man she had assisted. adding, "He is
Sir Walter Scott, the illustrious poet"
'Begorra, your honor" the old
woman replied, "he's no poet! He's n
gintleman born an bred-for hasn't he
he left in me hand piece of silver?"
Truly, there is more than one way
of knowing q man by his works.

The discontented worries Of a mo-
rose person may very likely shorten
his days, and the general justice OF
natures arrangement provides that
his early departure should entail no
long regrets. On the other hand, the
man who can laugh keeps his health.
To the perfectly healthy laughter
comes often. Too commonly, though,
as childhood Is left behind, the habit
fails, and half smile is the best that
visits the thought-lined mouth Of a
modern man or woman. People be-
come more and more burdened with
the accumulations Of knowledge and
with the weighing responsibilities of
life, but they should still spare time
to laugh.

Abandoned schoolhouse to a Ghost. >

A ghost has received official recog-
milton in the action of Trustee Jesse
Martin, of Jackson township, of Car
roll County, Ind, when he gave con-
tract for the erection of a new school
building in the Walnut Grove district.
Several years ago Amer Green was
lynched by a mob for the murder OF
his sweetheart, Luella Mabbitt, the
hanging taking place at a walnut tree
in the Walnut Grove schoolyard. Since
then the children have been filed with
supersttious terror in regard to the
place, and the once large school dwin-
died to two pupils last winter, and
after few weeks effort to get others
to attend, school was dismissed.
Strange stories were told about the
place. Green's ghost was reported to
have been seen, and the teachers re-
ported that they heard uneXplaiaable
sounds about the building. The wal
nut tree, before then Il large and
thrifty one, never bore foliage after
the lynching, and stood a bleak re-
mlnder of the tragedy.
No teacher could be found to accept
the school for next winter, and in re-
sponse to the insistent demands OF the
patrons new building will be erect
ed Il short distance away, the old site
being abandoned.-Ind Jour-

Where Economy Fails.

Men like economy in their domestic
arrangements, but if there is one wom-
an most of them fear and despise it is
the wretch who has all sorts of re-
cipes for making cheap dishes but Of
scraps. She comes futtering into the
domestic doyecotes early in the day.
My dear Mrs. g., such n recipe-the
cheapest, most delicious dish i'm
aginable. Any housekeeper can make
this salad. An old gum shoe or rem
nant of macintosh dressed with oil,
vinegar and paplaka, or cream and
lemon juice. 1 am confident your hus-
band will go wild over it." She is
right. He does. He goes SO wild that
after the doctor had gone home in
the night and he is resting easy he
asks who gave the recipe for that
salad and VOWS to shoot her on sight
if ever he gets out again. If the men
of the neighborhood had their way
they would put large dose Of poison
in the stocking Of this fiend who
teaches wives how to make palatable
dishes out of gum, broken umbrellas,
furniture polish and soiled awnings

Quick Work Might Solve 1t.

A lady was recently reading to her
young son the story of n little fellow
whose father was taken i'll and died,
after which he set himself diligently
to work to assist in supporting him
self and his mother. When she had
finished the story, she said:
"Now. Tommy, IL pa were to die.
wouldn't you work to keep mammal"
"Why, no." said the little chap, not
relishing the idea of work. What
for? Amt we got q good house to live
in?"
"Oh, yes, my dear" said the mother,
"but We can't eat the house, you
know"
"Well, amt We got plenty OF things
In the pantry?" continued the young
hopeful.
"Certainly, dear" replied the moth
er, "but they would not last long, and
what then?"
"Well, ma" said the young incorrigi.
BILE, after thinking moment, "ain't
there enough to last till you get an
other husband?"
Ma gave it up.-Answers.

? Carried Kittens With His Teeth.

Stradley is three years old and
polite young man, as is indicated by
the fact that he gravely doffs his hat
when meeting woman with whom he
is acquainted. He also believes that
in some things natures way is the
better.
A family of kittens came to Strad-
ley's home, much to his delight. He
carried one of the kittens about with
him and marveled much that the kit
ten should cry.
The other day he saw the mother
cat carrying a kitten in her mouth,
and great light broke on Stradley.
That afternoon he walked solemnly in
to the house, holding n struggling kit
ten firmly between his teeth.
"Why, Stradley," said his mother.
"you should not carry poor kitty that
way"
NO" said the little man, and then
added: "Why. it's mamma does."-

Parerts and teachers are noticing
and commenting on the fact that chill
dren have made wonderful progress
in geography in the last three years.
War has done this. 1t has stimulated
tlr desire for knowledge and the at
las has been frequently consulted to
learn the relative positions of places
and geographical names involved in
battle. Though this is particularly
true with children, 1t also applies to
grown persons. Many both in school
and out would have had to acknowl-
edge great ignorance of the Philip
pines, West Indies, the Transvaal and
China three years ago, while now
they are able to draw tolerably cor
rect maps of these places from mem
ory, and speak familiarly the names
of provinces and towns of which they
did not know the existence, much less
the location, two score months ago.

A recent Census Office bulletin
shows that 37.3 per cent of the coun-
try's population, or 2S,411,69S people.
live in cities and towns of more than
1000 population. Te5 years ago the
percentage of the urban population
was 800, or slightly less than one
third. In another ten years, at this
rate, nearly one-half of the American
people will be deniEens of towns. The
productiveness of our agriculturalists
has been in the meantime enhanced
by a multitude of labor saving inven-
tions, so that fewer and fewer men
are needed on the farms from year to
year. Those who are released from
drudgery in the fields fly to the cities,
where they become consumers Of har-
vests and contribute to the diversifi-
cation of our vast national scheme.
The thrifty farmer feeds them all,

BLIND MERCHANT is HANDY.
Carl Wells Never Saw the Light, Yet is .
Successful Grocer.

Successful Grocer.
There is small store on the corner
of South avenue and Clover street,
where are sold ice cream, canned
goods, package groceries," and the
various other things which go to make
up the ordinary stock of such an es-
tablshment. There are hundreds of
other stores in Syracuse exactly like
this one, but it is unique because Of
the personality of the storekeeper, a
young man of twenty-one, who is to.
tally blind.
If you were to see Carl Wells NOV
ing briskly about, waiting on CUSTOM
ers and never making n mistake in
finding the right article or in making
change, you would find it difficult to
realize that the world has been dark
to him from the hour of his birth. AL
though his father and mother are both
endowed with eyesight, strange fatal
ity seems to hang over their children.
for Mr.. Wells has brother and a Sis
ter also afflicted with congenital blind
ness In the case of all three, the op-
tic nerve is paralyzed, and no light af-
fects the retina, so that the blindness
is quite irremediable.
"There is long Latin name for it.
DR.. Brown told me, but don't remem-
Der it." said Mr. Wells to a Herald re-
porter. But then, of course, l don't
miss my eyes as any one would who
had had them and lost them. When
was a child I made up my mind that
l must learn to do things for myself,
for if you wait for some one else to
help you, you generally have to wait
a long while, and 1 am fortunate in
having a strong sense of location.
always put my own goods in their
places on the shelves and then l don't
have the least difficulty in finding
them. Once 1 know how the outside
of any special package feels, l know
it for keeps. OF course, if some one
were to disarrange my work and put
things out of place, 1 should be COM
pletely lost."-Syracuse Herald.

Hat Tins,

The hat Of the modern American Is
a more or less direct descendant from
the ancient helmet. The shape of a
derby could have been evolved from
nothing else, and 1t has little save ira
dition to recommend it. 1t is not
beautiful or comfortable, as compared
with the cowboys soft felt hat or the
cap of the European peasant 1t does
not keep the ears warm, nor stay on
with any degree of success; and it goes
out of fashion every season, reappear-
ing later in a slightly different form.
Its sole recommendation is the tradi.
tion that it is the proper headgear for
a civilized and enlightened man; and
when it is cooked op one side on the
head of rowdy it does not make him
look either civilized OF cultured

Hungry Bears Destroy Railroad.

A logger named Johnson, who has
a logging camp somewhere near Deep
River, away down the Columbia, was
in town looking for engines and wire
cables to pull the logs cut out to the
tramway. He has been using horses
for this work, but says he will have
to use engines hereafter, as the bears
tear up his skid roads. The grease
used in the skids has attracted the
hears, which not only lick the skids
clean of grease, but dig them out and
ruin the road in search Of the grease
which has been absorbed by the earth.
He says the bears pursue their mis-
chievous labors chiefly in the night.
and he cannot stay up nights to shoot
them.-Morning Oregonian.

parents ;I d children socially rs well
as professionally. Their observation
almost invariably convinces them not
only that moral infirmities are trans
lated into physical weakness in the
second and third generations, but also
that maladies which are in no sense
related to immortality sometimes leave
their impress on the young. Very
often this effect is nothing more than
a predisposition, which, once recog-
nized and dealt with in time, may be
skillfully antagonized by diet, exercise
and environment.-New York Tribune.

Rus,ia May Abolish To. Nobility.

At pres, Mt the Cars subjects are
divided into four general classes-the
nobility, the clergy, the inhabitants
of the towns and those of the coun-
try, says a st. Petersburg correspon-
dent. The nobility is itself Of two
kinds, hereditary and personal. An
officer acquires life nobility on acquir-
ing a certain rank in the army or
navy. Those who attain the rank OF
colonel In the army and of captain in
the navy become hereditary mobiles. It
Is most probable that when the pro-
posed reform OF the Russian system of
class organization takes place the no.
biiity will cease to exist as a separate
o!ass in the nation.

nelgnDor after nelghDor. No one had
any tidings. Mr.. Millwaite dressed,
took his rifle, and accompanied Corn
wiler. Mrs. Millwalte, notwithstand-
ing her depreciation Of Tom, went to
cheer AMI comfort his mother all she
could.
Millwaite suggested going first to
the charred stub. you know Toms
been there" he said, land it's the
right point to start from" AS soon
as they arrived, Ban began whining
and scratching about the stub. Corn
wiler sternly ordered him off, and the
poor dog, probably supposing it was all
right, reluctantly obeyed. Both men
believed the stub solid, and that Tom
had merely come and gone. The news
of the lost boy spread, and by sunrise
a dozen men and boys were securing
the woods.
After getting breakfast and doing
the housework, Clara Millwaite, who
had been thinking, concluded that
Tom must, after all. be at or near the
charred stub. "a dog never mistakes
in such matters; men do" the sensible
girl reasoned. She would go and take
a look for herself.
''If Tom is there he'll be hungry and
thirsty" she thought, so she put a
generous breakfast and Il bottle of
new milk in bark basket.
Ban went home with Cornwiler and
Millwaite, who wished to see If Tom
had taken his fish-line. They found
it gone, and their delusion as to the
river was confirmed.
Thinking Ban of no service, Corn
wiler left him at the house, and the
dog Immediately returned to the stub
and resumed his barking. Clara heard
him, and hurried to reach the spot and
judge for herself of the dogs behavior.

for Ban to lick.
In few moments more he had the
aperture sufficiently enlarged for Clara
to pass in the bottle and slices of food.
Tom drank first-a long, thirsty pull.
Then how he did eat! with the appe-
tite OF starved wolf and the gratitude
of a generous-minded boy. Clara bade
him give her the hatchet, and while
he ate she hacked with the skill and
strength of pioneer girl. AS the
wall was now pierced they could chop
the edges of the shell and make faster
progress. In half an hour Tom was
able to squeeze through.
What an object he was! Bloody,
grimy, and covered with rotten wood
from head to heels! Even his hair
was plastered with gore and dust.
Clara gathered leaves and helped him
clean it off as well as he could, but it
would require severe scrub baths, and
a weeks healing to make him present

While they walked home she rallied
him about his appearance, suggesting
that half the township, especially the
ladies, would be on hand to meet him.
But Tom said he guessed that as long
as she had seen him in this condition.
he could stand being looked at by the
other ladies'.
AS for Ban, he was so absorbed that
evening with the unusually large bone
given him that he quite failed to hear

Fifth day Of trial began
. this morning.

The fifth day Of the $4,000 dam
age case in Superior Court was be-
gun this morning. Testimony was
gotten much faster as The witnesses
with the exception Of two, used the
English language.
Angelo TOrtorelO testified that he
has worked as quarryman for over
l3 years and with the exception of
four months, has been in the employ
Of the Brandywine Granite Company
all that time. lie is a hand driller
and on various occasions had worked
a. helper To- Kopp and had helped
him to load the holes. He always
thought that Kopp was a careful
and painstaking powder man and
never knew anybody to refuse to
work with kopp This fatty denied
evidence given by witness for the
plaintiff. Most of the men he thought
were glad to work with Kopp as the
work was easier than drilling.
lie was helping Kopp in October.
1896, when an explosion took place
in which both were injured. This
was the accident referred 10 by a
witness for the plaintiff where it
was stated that an iron pipe which
was being used 10 unload a hole was
sent high into the air.
MIR. Whiteman asked what lelat ion
existed between kopp and the wit

James SimmS, colored, ST atcd that
he runs a steam drill at the quarry
and drilled the holes for the blast in
which Kopp was killed. He never
knew anybody TO refuse to help Kopp
but could not say tnat anybody had
refused to do SO.

the time Of the accident said he was

hole: The answer was no.
James Murphy, a paving blockcut-
ter, who worked near Kopp, was the
