He wants little or nothing but drink.
Something has happened to him. An unex-

boasts that an old friend has placed his
wife in good and comfortable lodging and
gives her an allowance. He himself takes
all he can get out of that allowance and
sallies forth every morning to drink IT..
When he has spent his days allowance he
goes about and begs for more He is no
longer in rags and he abstains from selling
his new broadcloth, because 1t Is much

warmth, plenty and love. A poor girl is a
woman Incomplete; girl who has to work
for her livelihood is woman whose mis-
sion in life has failed; she should have
been happy in giving happiness to others.
Some day" Isabel thought. thinking upon
her and watching her, Alice will be loved
and will fall in love. Then she will become
what the Lord meant her to be. Heaven
send her worthy mater'
1t was an act of atonement as / have
said, which led Isabel to take possession of
the girl; but it was affection which caused
her to keep the girl Some debts" she
said, must be paid"
From time to time she remembered the
words of Mrs. Brymer. The girl said Mrs
Brymer, will do you a mischief; for sure
and certain she will do you a mischief.
She is bound to do you a mischief"
Every woman is a witch; every woman
can foretell the future, though some are not
50 far-Sighted as others, and every woman
knows the power of her sex. The words,
when she remembered them, gave Isabel a
passing uneasiness. Yet she put it aside.
How could this girl who loved her do her a
mischief. 1t was impossible. Yet mischief
may be done even by those who are all utl-
conscious of evil either in thought or in
deed

Mrs. PartinEtOn Again.

From the Louisville Times.
One Of the most laughter provoking peo-
pie in the world is the woman or man who
makes use of the wrong word in an effort
to appear learned. There is woman living
in our midst, fat, good-hearted. full Of fun,
a most amiable wife and friend, but given
to the use of big, hjgh-sounding words She
is always raising a good laugh. but goes on
her way unconscious Of the joke. There
was a sort Of club party at the home of
friend recently, and she was one of the
guests. Late in the evening, when most
Of the merrymakers had departed, about
six or eight intimate friends were grouped
about the supper table eating second sup
per. Among the number was a young
widower very sensitive and modest AS
he sat there convefsing the fat Comedy Of
Errors was seen advancing from the par
lor. There was beamng smile on her
face, a hint Of coquetry in her eye Com
ing toward the widower she halted, and In
loud, jolly tone remarked: Mr.. Blank
will you be so kind as to step into the par
lor with me, I want to ask you to be my
correspondent for a minute while my hus-
band Is OUT
The wretched widower was led off, MS
face the color of meteor rose, while the
company left at the table nearly fell In the
bowl Of oyster soup as they laughed over
his confusion.

Witherby laid his hand on his friend

entire question. Householders. as rule,
are too tim!d or too lazy. 1 don't know
which. You take anything you can get.

But interrupted Dimpleton, with some
surprise, why should we change If it
doesn't do any good?'
The point replied Witherby, -"is this

troublesome for a while, but it pays. l

At Christmas Time,

At Christmas Time.
Written for The Evening Star by Charles II. Doin,
The bleak December winds pipe high,
And all day long the skies gray;
The autumn flowers all withered lie
And summer birds have flown away
cheerless LANDSCAPE greets the eye;
On every hand frost and gloom;
The pine trees murnur, sob and sigh,
Like mOurners round a loved ones tomb
The bleakest, dreariest month that blows
Is hoar December, crisp and sere;
But there's a season at its close,
The gladdest time Of all the year.
And though the winds blow e'er 20 cold,
And sun and sky no. warmth impart;
Though snow and frost the earth enfold,
There always sunshine in the heart.
fire is kindled In each breast
A glow that lights the Christmas tree;
spark betwixt the host and guest,
OF universal sympathy.
The work-day frown gives place to smiles.
Stern age puts on a youthful guise;
At Christmas time a song -beguiies,
Alike the simple and the wise.
Then hail the Christmastidei and give
In generous measure to the poor;
True charity shall ever live
And grow By giving. more and more

From the New York Times.
Ex-Congressman Gable of Illinois has a
charming young daughter who is receiving
her education in France. When she was
several years younger than she is now her
father took her on his knee one day and
said to her:
To-day man asked me II would not
sell little brother. He said he would give
me a whole room full of gold. Shall 1 let
him have little brother?"
The child shook her head.
But persisted her father, think how
much money this room full Of gold would
be. Think how many things you could buy
with It, Don't you think I'd better let the
man have little brother?"
NO" said the daughter, 'Iet's keep him
till he's older. He'll be worth more then"

U. P.S new TUNNEL
BIG HOLE AT SHERMAN, wYO., IS
FINISHED.

OMAHA, Neb., April 3O-The wonderful
achievement of tunneling a big mountain
at Sherman, Wyo, by the Union Pacific
in order to reduce the grade and shorten
the track has been accomplished, and to-
morrow, May !, regular service will COM
mence on the new line from Buford to
Tie Siding, which becomes part Of the
main line.
The contract for this work was award
ed about a year ago, and it's completion
is reckoned as one of the most astonish-
ing feats of railroad engineering yet ac-
complished.
The Sherman hill tunnel, forming an
important part of the project, is situated
between Dale creek and Tie Siding, near
ly half a mile long In the mountain it
plerces is found the archaean formation,
one Of the hardest of granite rocks.
Standing conspicuously out in this great
engineering work are the two flls-Lone
Tree fill and Dale Creek fill. The en-
bankment at the last named fill is 145
feet in the highest place, 900 feet long,
20 feet wide at the tip, 115 feet at the
bottom. The Lone Tree fill is southeast
of the town of Sherman, and the en-
bankment is 80 feet high at the highest
point. These two fills involve d the
handling of 10000 cubic yards of earth
and stone
Two other emba nkments adjacent re-
quired the moving of 25000O yards, so
that this particular part of the work, all
within distance Of mile, necessitated
the moving of more than 750,G00 cubic
yards Of earth and rock
The Dale Creek bridge was now be
thing Of the past, and the Ames monu-
ment viii no longer be seen by tourists.
The new tunnel is so constructed that
one may clearly see from one end to the
other. The new route decreases the grade
over fifty per cent.
