The funerals of these little unfortunates, or are they the fortunate ones? Is something very sorrowful have seen scores of them, some days half a dozen. Sometimes the procession consists of the father alone carrying the coffin under an arm or on his head. Of course these dead are car ried to a church ,where a simple service is hed Then the bodies are placed ir a hole in the cemetery wall which has to be paid for by the year So long as the rent is palJg the. bodies are left in peace, but if it Is not forthcoming. the bones come forth and are tossed into a pile in a separate lot where, in some cemeteries. there are carloads of ex- posed bones of the human family.

The band which led the procession returned to the house of mourning to discourse music the better part of the afternoon.

There are cigarette cases, match cases of various kinds. and. to jump to the antipodes. nice little powder boxes. con- taining a tiny puff and mirror on the inside of the cover, and boxes to wear on the chain. says The New York Times.

In the School of Work.

Charles A. Dana of the New York
Sun, was a man of extensive learning
and attached great Importance to col
lege training, but was quick to recog-
nize the value of the practical educa-
ton that a man of good parts may
pick up in this work-a-day world
outside of university walls. A young
man went to the Sun Office one day
and asked to see the editor-in-chief.
He would not be rebuffed by the sub
o%rdinates, and after some delay he was
admitted. He stated his business
without a moments loss of time. "Mr.
Dana" he said, Il believe I could be
of some use on this paper, and I want
you to give me a trial. If you don't
find me of any use you needn't pay me
any salary, and if you do. l shall want
a good salary. If l don't find my
proper groove in a month you can
drop me out"
Mr.. Dana looked him over. young
man." he said, Il like your looks.
Have you eve attended any institution
Of learning?" Eyes, sir. am a
graduate Of two newspaper Offices
one a country weekly and the other
a daily paper in a city Of one hundred
thousand inhabitants" "Ill take you.
Go and report to the managing edi-
tor" And Mr.. Dana turned again to
his work.-Youth's Companion.

ROMANCE.
" Uncles In the United States Enrich
IN EnRllshman in Need.

Two Uncles in the United States Enrich
An Engllshman In Need.
10 few men Is it given to make 4
falr competence, lose it, and suddenly
and without expectation find two for
tunes thrown at their feet. That has
peen the experience Of Mr.. Joseph
Samuel Stadden Russell. At the be-
ginning of this year he was employed
In the humble capacity Of grocm; to-
Gay he is in possession of a fortune OF
al6o,OOO, most Of it invested in free
mold property in New York and Pitts
burg. The story has most Of those
elements OF romance with which the
popular imagination clothes the unex-
pected acquisition Of wealth. AS in so
many other cases, it is the rich uncle
In America-would there were more Of
them!-who has played the part of a
generous Providence. In Mr.. Russell's
case, however, there were two uncles,.
but from neither did he entertain any
expectations Of an inheritance. One
lived in Pittsburg, the other in New
York; n was his uncle on his faith
er's side, the other was the brother OF
his fathers second wife. Mr.. Russell
himself was born in London, within
the sound of Bow BELLS" but he has
spent fully thirty years in the States.
Both his uncles went out there when
very young and very poor, but they
rapidly advanced and became consid-
cradle property-owners. Recently Mr..
Russell returned to this country and
started a public house at Maidstone, at
the same time depositing all the mon
ey he had saved in America with Dunn
bells bank. When the bank failed he
lost everything, and at so had to face
the world penniless. 1t was then that
he took a place as groom, but he had
not been long in that situation when
the news came that his fathers broth
er had left him a fortune, which was
originally stated to be ESQ, 0OO-odd,
but in reality came to be something
more, nearly approaching s10O. 900.
That, however, did not exhaust Mr..
Russell's luck. Only the other day he
received intimation from a firm Of So
liciotrs in New York that his uncle-in-
law had beQueathed to him a sum
which, with the previous windfall, put
MIN in possession of G160,000. 1t is an
extraordinary revolution in the for
tunes of an unambitious man, and al
the more extraordinary, perhaps, be-
cause it was quite unexpected. Mr..
Russell is a shrewd, level-headed Lon
doner, who is under no apprehension
that he will be tempted to squander
his fortune.-London Chronicle.

Then the chief walked quietly
away and refused to listen to anything
