Gals and their attorneys decided to

Emerson as a Model.

Mr.. D. G. French, the sculptor, tells
with much relish, the story of his ex-
periences when he was commissioned
to make the bust of Ralph Waldo EN-
erson, which is now in Memorial hall
of Harvard university. At one of the
sittings, says Mr. French, Mr.. Emerson
rose suddenly and walked over to
where the artist was working. He
looked long and earnestly at the bust,
and then, with an inimitably droll ex-
preston, he said: "The trouble is the
more it resembles me the worse it
looks" After the sculptor had finish
ed the bust he asked Mr.. Emerson to
inspect it. The philosophers opinion
was Enthusiastically terse.
"Well," he said at Last, chat is the
face I shave" Mr.. Emerson, Mr..
French relates made one Of his quaint
observations about another bust, the
work of another artist It was char
acterless KIND of thing, and showed not
the slightest hint of the Emerson char
acter. After looking it over, Emer.
son said:

Railroad Gives Increase in Paw.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 25.-About one
thousand shopmen employed by the
Louisville & Nashville railroad have
received voluntary increase of 10 per
cent in their pay. The order affects
all who formerly drew $1.75 a day or
over, and includes carpenters, black
smiths, painters, machinists and car
builders generally. The increase was
unhu'alded and was first known by the
men when they received their pay en-
velopes. AS the Louisville & Nashville

among those who belong to unions was
great, especially in view of the failure
OF the strike of the railway machinists

Suspicious Rejoicing.

Why do the republican papers re-
joice over every event which they can
torture into victory for the reorgan-
ling element of the democratic party?
1t is only fair to assume that the re-
publican editors have partisan inter-
est in weakening the democratic party.
1t is only fair to assume that they will
be pleased by any Indication of weak
ness on the part of their political OPP
ponents. Why is it, then, that they
exult whenever gold and corporation
democrats secure control of the party
organization? Why is it that they
constantly suppress all evidence en-
couraging to Kansas City platform
democrats and magnify everything
that gives hope to the men who oppose
the Kansas City platform? Read, for
illustration, the republican comments
on the recent election. The republic
can papers gave columns of editorial
space to the suppression of the Kansas
City platform by the Ohio convention
and declared that the democrats OF
that state had put themselves in good
fighting trim by discarding the So
called ''heresies" that had handicap
ped" them. They also vociferously as
serted that the democratic candidate
for governor in Iowa was opposed to
allowing national issues to enter into
the campaign. Now they point to the
republican majority in Iowa as de-
feat for silver, and they either ignore
the result in Ohio altogether, or as
some of the papers do, explain it by
saying that Mr.. Kilbourne was at heart
a silver man and that he did not poll
as large u vote as he would have polled
had he been an advocate of the gold
standard. al}t3t
The result in Nebraska is especially
pleasing to the repub leans, although

selves democratic, and the republican

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Ruined Temple.

When the wind first began to roar
and Shrek over the hill on which
Lord Chugmough and William had
pitched their temporary camp, the first
disastrous result was that their horses,
which, perhaps, knew enough to rec
ognize the warning in the sound broke
their bounds and galloped away.
AS the patter of their feet on the
hillside died away, Lord Chugmough
shrugged his shoulders.
"Our losses ave gone, me lord" said
William.
$50 have discovered, William" was
the calm reply. "But l was getting
rather weary Of the brutes, to tell the
truth. We will walk awhile now"
"Just SO, me lord. Walkin' his
'ealthy herexcise, prowidin' a man as
a comfortable sidewalk to take is con-
stitutional hon"
Lork Chugmough waved his hand
depreciatingly.
"Habout the deer, me lord, the losses
bein' gone"
Don't alarm yourself need!essly,
William" said Lord Chugmough. II
will carry the deer on my shoulder"
Suiting the action to the word, when
Lord Chugmough had got his pipe
fairly alight, he seized the half
skinned carcass Of the deer and slung
1t across his shoulder with apparently
no effort.
Come, William" he said, and he led
the way down the eastern slope of the
mountain.
After he had walked some distance
through cedar, caoutchouc and ebony
trees, he paused.
William" he said, at seems to me
that we have here sort of path
where people have recently walked.
The path did not lead straight up
the mountain, toward the top, but
wound around it. Lord Chugmough
struck into the path, and William fol-
lowed him.
After walking short distance, they
came upon an old stone ruin.
What have we here, William %
asked Lord Chugmough.

sIatin Pasha. q

A most exciting career has been that
of Sir Rudolph Slatin, better known
as Slatin Pasha. He left Vienna, his
birthplace, when lad of II, to become
clerk in commercial house in Cal
TO, and six years later came under the
notice of Gordon, who appointed him
governor Of Darfur. In this position
he became known as "The Hammer OF
the Arabs" owing to his many vic
tories over the turbulent tribes, but in
1883 he had to surrender to the Mahdi.
Then began an imprisonment that
lasted till 1895. when, by secret aid
from the authorities at Cairo, Slatia
managed to escape. The late queen
had Sir Rudolf at Windsor several
times to hear him relate his adyen-
lures.

| known Lord Chugmough to keep in
one direction very long, and it was
highly probable that If search-party
was sent off to the north Lord Chug-
mough would calmly walk into camp
from the south, and then it would be
necessary to send out another party
to recover the first one
So they waited, and continued to
wait until 1t became the unanimous
opinion OF the party that Lord Chug-
mough and William had been killed or
lost their way, and the indecision of
Sir Galloping Grace and George, Wis.,
count Elsmere, gave way to firm de-
termination to go in search of their
companion. But this resolve was nulli-
fed by the refusal of the guides to go
a step.
NO, senor," said one of them, cit
would be dangerous. See there!'
Sir Galloping followed the index
hnger of the guide with his glance,
and at once began to fear, not only for
Lord Chugmough's safety, but for his
own and everybody's.
For the guide was not without rea-
son In refusing to go farther into
danger.
The sky, which had so far been de-
cent enough, clear now and then with
intermittent rain clouds, was now
frightful to behold.
Great banks of hideous blackness
were rolling and tumbling toward
them, and the wind, which had sud
denly risen, increased to the force of
tempest.
ITO shelter!" cried one Of the guides,
.Francisco's house is not far away.
Follow me-"
Forgetting Lord Chugmough and 'ev-
erything else save their own impend-
ing danger, they mounted their plung-
Ing. snorting horses and followed their
heelng guides over the long grass now
fiattened to the ground by the wind,
| to large two-story structure of wood
and cement, where Pedro Francisco
had his home.
Pedro, as we know, was away from
home, but his house-servants well
coined the Englishmen and gave them
shelter, and it was not moment too
soon that they reached the friendly
| roof.
The wind increased in fury, the
clouds grew blacker and thicker and
overspread the sky, and then there
came downpour of rain such as
Venezuela had never known before.
The tiny streams in the mountains
swelled to the dimensions OF rivers
The ripping brooks became roaring
rushing torrents. The streams that
flowed north into the Orinoco tumblec
and roared and dashed their banks, ane
then rushed over them on the flat
lands. The streams flowing into the
Orinoco from the north copied afte,
those on the south until the great
river itself was dashed to fury never
seen on it's broad bosom before. and

even the hog-back was covered, the
Turtle was torn from her moorings
and carried out to sea, and the people

higher ground to save themselves from

of men, to destroy hope, to plunge hui
mainly into despair.
