How Mr.. Morgan was worked.

j. Pierpont Morgan is always a lib
eral man, but he knows how to invest
his money where it will do the most
good. Recently Mr.. Morgan was trying
the world-famous baths at Aix-les-
Bains, in Savoy, for rheumatic troubles,
says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. When
ever he leaves a place he always takes
good care of the servants. The fol-
lowing incident is related of how the
great banker was persuaded by mes
senger boy to give him $500 when slG0
would have> been a liberal compensa-
ton:
Pierre" said Mr.. Morgan on the day
of his departure from the watering
place, Pierre, here is 800 for your
honesty and promptness." (The boy
had been the steel trust magnate's mes
senger for two weeks)
"A thousand thanks. monsiegneur, P"

A Fatal Attraction.

1t is a hateful habit" declared the
dandy, according to the New York
Herald.
"Pshawl" said the medical student.
Whats the harm in chewing gum?
1t improves the digestion
"And ruins the temper. Did you
hear of my experience at Lake Lucid
last summer? No?
Il was visiting the Smith-Joneses
at their lodge, and on the opposite
shore lived a girl l wanted to meet.
You may think how pleased l was when
she sent out invitations for an infor-
NAL dance, and l, as the guest of the
Smith-JoHeses, was included.
You know, l belong to the-th regi-
ment and therefore possess a pair of
perfect fitting duck trousers. Now
those of the other men were only ready
made, and 1 would easily eclipse them.
THE evening arrived, and a dilemma
confronted me: It was necessary to
take a rowboat, yet to sit down would
crease my trousers, but I recalled the
famous painting of Washington cross
ing the Delaware in a standing posture,
and l, too, hoped to pass to victory.
81 opened the dance with the hostess,
who was stunning, in some gauzy stuff
with blue ribbons. Elated by this hon
or, L stepped out on the porch TO cool
off on a corner of the rustic railing.
Presently 1 started to slip down.
Imagine my horror when l found
myself firmly fixed to my perch.
Il realized my position at once; the
small boy of the family had forgotten
his tolu gum.
1T was a long evening. Through the
window 1 could see that beautiful

Meaner THAN 4he areanest.

He got on the train at Van Nostrand
and sat down beside me, says the New
York Herald. He was long, lean and
lanky. First he looked out of the car
window and then at me. Setting deeper
into his seat he suddenly remarked:
DRY day, eh?"
1 merely nodded my head affirma-
lively.
DO you drink, young MANI"
/ said / didn't mind if l did.
He said he would mind, though.
Furthermore" he continued, Il am
surprised that a man of your modest
appearance, with eyes denoting Chris
tian breeding, a forhead denoting good
moral character and mouth too pure
to withstand the faint of intemperance
should be willing to indulge in the
flowing bowl"
l could only squirm about in my seat
and prepare myself for an eighteen
karet temperance lecture about to be
thrust upon me.
And, young man, do you know that
hundreds of homes have been devas-
tated by strong drink?"
/ knew.
DO you realize that the idols of
manhood have been shattered and

do you know that wines, liquors
and cigars are the advance agents of
insobriety. And, young man, for the
co "a of the good of
your wife-if you have one; for the re-
spect of your children-if you have any,
l want you to make me one PROMISE
And that ISL" l hurriedly interrupt
ed, willing to promise anything, for his
words had aroused me, and l knew l
had been groveling in the dark, and
that every drink was a blot on the
sunshine of my home.

And you will not ask for drink

with that the mean, grovelling, con-
temptible, long, lean, lanky hypocrite

brought forth a pint flask of whisky

THE pLATrORM ,ENDoRsED.

The Kansas City platform has friends
in Iowa. The Democrats of that state,
in their convention on Wednesday, in
| dorsed it. There were two reports on
| resolutions. The majority report ig-
nored national issues and the minority
report contained an Endorsement of the
Kansas City platform. The minority
report was adopted by vote of 669h
to. 55o1z.
Before the meeting of the Iowa DEM
ocratic convention it seemed that Dem
ocrats had very generally come to the
conclusion that it would be advisable
to say nothing in their conventions
about the Kansas City platform. The
Democratic conventions of Ohio Mary
land. Virginia and Pennsylvania either
failed or refused to indorse it. and it
looked as if there were some sort of an
understanding to bring Democrats of
all sections of the country into har-
mony by quietly dropping that plat
form.
1t is apparent, however, from the ac-
ton of the Iowa Democrats that there
is a disposition among Democrats in
some parts of the country to stand by
the declarations Of the last Democratic
national convention. How widespread
this disposition is it is impossible to
say. 1t would not be surprising if in
the Northwest there were a number
of states in which the Kansas City
platform will be Endorsed when DEM
ocratic conventions are held there.
No doubt Mr.. Bryan is very much
gratified by the action of the Demo-
Gratis of Iowa. 1t is the first state this
year in which the Democrats in con-
vcntion have adopted platform that
justifies him in thinking that the Dem
ocratic party is not going to abandon
any of the principles for which he
fought so earnestly in two campaigns.
The extent to which the Kansas City
platform will be Endorsed by Demo-
cratic state conventions is still an open
question. 1t will be noticed that the
majority IN the Iowa convention in
favor of indorsing it was only about
100. while in the conventions in Ohio,
Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania
the sentiment in support of giving it
some sort of recognition was not strong
enough to make a perceptible impress
sion. This would seem to indicate that
the overwhelming sentiment of the
Democrats of the country is against
giving it prominence. 1t will not do.
however, to assume that this is the
case. Before it will be entirely safe to
form an opinion in the matter it will
be necessary to hear from more of the
states of the South and West. 1t is
well known of course that the Demo-
Gratis of the East are against the Kan
sas City platform.

THE GOOD AND THE BAD.

The level-headed man is not likely
to fab into paroxysms of admiration
of the teachings of Dowie, the Chicago
religious healer and leader, who says
he is the living reincarnation of the
prophet Elijah. Most of us are accus-
toned to regard him, at first thought,
as a combination of knave and fool.
Every now and then, however, we
hear of something that makes us won
der if we have not formed a wrong
opinion of the man and his work. Oc-
casionally, as in an incident of recent
occurrence, that which so attracts our
attention makes in itself an interesting
story.
Charles Houldsworth became recent
ly a disciple of Dowie and a follower
of Zion, and sought admission into the
holy city that the reincarnated Elijah
has established on the outskirts of
Chicago. Twenty-four years ago the
new disciple was a resident of Phila-
delphia, where he conducted a bust
ness. He failed and removed to Chi
cago. There, after many years, his bus
mess fortunes began to improve, and
he accumulated a comfortable compe-
tency. AS his fortunes improved, how
ever, his health declined, and it was in
the effort to recover the latter that he
sought advice at the hands of Dowie.
He was told that one of the first things
he would have to do was to pay
his debts, and in compliance with this
instruction he thought of Philadelphia.
There he owed debts, which had been
standing since he left that city, in 1877,
amounting to something over $500.
One of those to whom money was
owing was P. Az 3. Widener. the
street railroad magnate and a multi
millionaire of the Quaker City. When
Houldsworth left Philadelphia, Widen
er was a butcher in the Girard street
market, and the bill of SIS that was
owing was for mutton chops that he
had cut off and handed to Houldsworth
with his own hands.
In the search for money and the new
light of truth, which he had success
fully prosecuted in Chicago, Houlds-
worth had lost sight of his old ac-
quaintance and he found some diff
ficulty in locating Pete" Widener
Nobody was sufficiently familiar with
the millionaire to recognize him\by sc
| familiar a title. Finally the millionaire
was identified and the awed Zionite
was directed to his offices in the Land
| Title and Trust Company's building
When he. was informed that Widenel
was out of the city, Houldsworth ex.
! planned: "Well l must pay the bill
even if l have to wait for his return
| This is an honest debt, for Widenei
! himself sold me the mutton, and here
is the bill" Then the money was re.
! ceived and the bill, standing twenty.
four years, was marked paid.
All over the city Houldsworth wan
dered with his old accounts, finding
difficulty in locating some of the mer
to whom he owed money He found
them all, however, or their business OF
personal representatives, and settled
every bill.
There is something therefore to tn,
credit of Dowie and Dowieism. Doubt
less there are merchants in this city
who wish there We're little of tha
sort of religion here.

Plain, is now included in the park sys-
tenn of Boston. The spot is to be mark
ed by a memorial.
G. f. Watts, the famous English
painter. has made within recent years
portraits of both Lord Salisbury and
Lord Roberts. In fact, there is quite a
gallery of portraits of men who have
helped to make history" to be seen in
Mr.. Watts pleasant house in Kensing-

his choice and range; for side by side
with Lord Salisbury and Lord Roberts
is a portrait of John Burns.
