"KINC OF INVALIDS."
The Sad Plight Which Gave That
Title to Young Man of
Philadelphia.

In a small dwelling at 1918 Cabot
street, a little thoroughfare running
west of Twelfth street, just above
Girard avenue, lies young man known
throughout the length and breadth of
this broad land as the king of In
valids" His throne is bed from which
he has not moved for ten years, says the
Philadelphia Times.
AS his only companions, his faithful
nurse, Miss Carrie Dentry, and his pet
dog, Charles III. Conrad waits for death
with the knowledge that nothing else
can ever release him from his suffer-
ings. Science can offer him no hope,
for hundreds of the most eminent ply
sicians have visited his bedside and
turned away with a shake of the head.
Rheumatoid arthritis'is the name OF
the strange malady with which he is
afflicted, and it's effect is the forma-
ton of bone around the joints, render
ing them extremely sensitive and per-
fectly motionless. Elbows, wrists,
knees and ankles are all dislocated and
abnormally enlarged, while the rest OF
the trunk is emaciated, and trunk and
limbs alike contorted and twisted.
1t is not Justification pure and simple,
as in this case Conrad's sufferings
would be much less. AS it is. his whole
body is so sensitive that the least touch
causes excruciating agony. His arms
are bent inward, the left hand slowly
growing toward the stomach. between
which and it a heavy pad of cloth is
placed in an effort to change its course.
Conrad was a strong and athletically-
built young man when 81 years old. now
ten years ago. Exposure brought on
rheumatism, and this developed into
the present malady.
Through his nurse he is kept in COM
munication with every chronic invalid
in the country, and by them he has
been given the title of the "King of In
va1i1S P"

SPENT CORDS OF MONEY.
Deceased Indian Magnate Who Had
q Mania for the Vices of
Europeans.

The people of Patiala in India, will
not seriously mourn the recent death
of their maharajah, the leading Sikh
chief of the Punjab. He was the ruler
of the most warlike of all the races of
India, but singularly died in the service
of the British empire. Sir Rajendua
Singh had previously served through
the Mohmand campaign of 1897 on the
staff of Sir Bindon Blood. Personally
he was the product of somewhat mis-
taken system, and represented in it's
fullest development that anomaly a
Europeanized Indian prince. He
habitually wore English clothes and a
native turban, married an English wife
and regally entertained vast crowds of
Enghshmen, who, according to the
agreeable manner of Englishmen in
India, would receive neither him nor
his wife into their houses in return.
He was a sportsman of the first order;
he had one Of the finest polo teams in
India, played for it himself and was
almost worthy of his place. But with
the English taste for sport he had I'M
bibed the vice of sportsmen and spent
more than the revenues of his sta te
could afford on racing and dissipation.
Though only young man of rs, he had

the fever that attacked him. His sub

apron over her head and cried.
Then the man came to the door and
said: "Come in!" and so we did.
They opened the basket and put the
things on the table, and yoa ought just
to have seen them smile and the little

some mush and milk on the kitchen
table and some oranges" Well, now,
you ought to have seen us pitch in.
We was awful hungry. You just skate
up the river on New Years day, and
see if you don't get hungry!
Then when we was all through moth
er came out and told us how glad she
was that we'd been good, unselfish
boys, and kissed us all and said it made
all the better and us happier to give up
something of our own for some one
else.
And that was how we had fun on

A NEW YEAR TAsLEAU.

A New Years Eve-a coxy room

Curls fair as morning, locks as dark
Al night. tremendously blending.

Held by two hands that lightly touch,

Blooms painted rose and morning glory;
And yet the youth and maiden read,
In the dim light an old, old story.
"FIow sweet 'twould be could we begin
The Happy New Year dear, together!"
He reads: 'Td smooth life's paths for you,
And shield you from its stormy weather.
Shrined in my heart since first we met,
No one can e'er be set above you.
I love you'll" And, with crimsoned cheek,
She reads the sentence Ger II love you'll!
The chimes ring out-a year is dead
A year Is born; and softly stirring,
Grandmother wakes and peers about:
The young folks read, the cat is purring-
All seems the same as twas before
She slept; but ah! tbs only seeming;
Warm lips have kissed, two souls have met,
Two hearts of wedding bells are dream

hail TO THE NEW YEAR,
An Anniversary of Great Significance
to the Observing Man or Woman
Good Resolutions

Hail to the New Year! The glad
New Year! .for, of course, it is to be
glad. All new things are supposed to
be glad, as gladness and brightness
and freshness are naturally associated
with the new.
Time was when the first day of the
New Year led the merry procession of
festivals, but it has gradually been
relegated to the rear, and serves now
as an occasion for the very cordial
handshake only, and the accompany
Ing "Many Happy Returns!"
Thus much for outward observance
but, next to ones birthday, it is the
most significant to the observing man
or woman of all anniversaries: for,
in retrospect, there must come a
sense of falling short in the accom-
plishment of ones intentions, to even
the most self-satisfied of mortals
while he who is really honest with
himself must feel that in his failure
to carry out his resolutions, the old
year has been a loss of opportunity as
well as lapse of time.
But even SO, New Years has it's
place as moral factor. 1t is surely
better to make good resolution, even
if it is soon forgotten, than never to
feel the need of making one at all
and if the resolve leads to the break
ing off of the old habit or the over
coming of the besetting sin, there
must be an uplift.
Men may rise on stepping-stones
OF their dead selves to niger things"
To rise to higher things, one should
not be given to introspection nor to
retrospection. Oh. if the dead past
were only allowed to bury it's dead!
Oh, If the golden present were never
spent bewailing weakness or disa-
bilityi
What then? Look outl Look up!
Lend hand! Especially lend a hand
1--WE are much bound to those that do sue
coed,
But in a more pathetic sense are bound
To such as fail"
In reaching out to help "such as
fall" or who, but for the helping
hand, may fail, do we learn our own
weakness, and, knowing it, put forth
fresh effort and grow in wisdom and
in grace.
Let us then make our good resolu-
tions, and, in trying to keep them, let
us remember that not only January
1, but every day, is new beginning

POOR PEOPLE IN PARIS.
Can No Longer Live in the City Be.
cause of the Advance in
Rents.

The housing problem is one that for
years has lain heavily on those with
small incomes in Paris.
Every day the French capital be.
comes more and more impossible as
a residence for poor people, and while
handsome houses grow more nu.
merous, reasonable lodgings become
scarcer.
The poor no longer find it easy to
secure apartments at modest rental
in the city unless they are willing to
be confined in barrack-like tenements
in the sixth or even seventh story
or shut off in a courtyard where they
get very little daylight and hardly
ever see the sun, writes the Paris cor
respondent of the London Mail.
The workingman has, therefore,
been obliged to migrate to the out
skirts of the city, and whole suburbs.
like La Villette on one side of Paris
and Grenelle on the other side, are
now inhabited exclusively by indus.
trial colonies.
Every exhibition in Paris has
brought rise in rents all round and
to-day the landlords dues are higher
than ever. Less accommodation is
available in Paris for a given rental
than in London and the sanitary con-
ditions are generally inferior.
The better housing of the working
classes, however, is beginning to at
tract the attention of reformers and
when the extension of the city even
tually takes place perhaps some i'm.
provement will be effected.
