Too IIttIe for Too Much.

When th%late ameer. of Afghans ar
was trouble1 with BAD t0othache he
sent for his'European dehtfst in oIen
court. TheH dentist examined" the
tooth, which was nothing more than
an old stump, and advised that the
smeer should take laughing-gas and
have II out. The ameer inquired into
the effect of.the gas and replied:
Il can not risk being a dead man for
five seconds. much less five minutes"
So, while the whole Afghan court
surveyed the operation, the dentist
struggled with the tooth, and the stout
old ameer never moved a muscle.
The quality of common sense which
characterized this ruler once averted
IA war between England and Russia.
A representative of the ameer told
him that the Russians had taken
Afghan territory, but as England had
guaranteed him against aggression he
could easily depend on England to go
to war IL he said the word
The ameer sat quietly for a few min,
utes, stroking his beard, and then
called for a map of Afghanistan.
When il was brought he asked the
representative to show him the ter
ritory that had been seized. Then

and sweeping with his finger the great
i'pace that stood for the rest of his
kingdom, he said

rlaid, Wife, and Widow
in Few Short TIinuteS

Ten minutes was the brief space of
time in which Miss Mildred Deuel. OF
Richmond, Va, counted the stages of
life which most women reckon by
years. In that short while she was a
maid, a wife, and a widow. and the
romance which had filled her dreams
had been realized and shattered. She
became Mrs. Richard Miles Stanton
while her husband was dying, vic
tim Of fever contracted in the service
of his country in the Philippines.
Three years ago Miss Deuel., the
daughter OF a theater manager in
Richmond, became engaged to young
Stanton. She was but II years old,
and the objections of her parents ruled
the young people when they talked of
marriage. A year later the young man
obtained a commission as lieutenant
in the volunteer army, and was sent
to fight the Filipinos.
Love is not governed in its intensity
according to distance, however, and
the miles between Lieut. Stanton and
Miss deuel. served but to increase the
affection they entertained for each 9th

Their Contribution.

Prof. Henry Morton, president of the
Stevens Institute of Technology in
Hoboken, once had a church expert
ence with two students.
One Sunday a pair of Freshmen
wandered into church, not knowing
that it was President Morton's place
OF worship
They kept quiet and seemed properly
devout throughout-untilt the time the
collection box was to be passed, when
they say to their horror that Prof.
Morton himself was passing the box.
Got any money? said Paulsen to
Inglis.
Quarter. You got any?"
No"
Nearer and nearer came the collec-
ton box.
Finally. when it was but one pew
away, Damon Inglis rose to the needs
of Pythias Paulsen.
I'm stake you, old man-thatll Il be
all right; watch me-" he whispered,
and as the box appeared before him
he made sure to catch The presidents
eye. Up went the quarter conspicu-
ously between Damons thumb and
forefinger; then he dropped it and,
with a sweep of his hand toward his
companion, he held up two fingers.

sor understood.

The man is in his work. All is un-
stable that is done by a dishonest
builder but an honest mason puts his
soul into every stone he lays, and
mixes character with his mortar. If
Manhattan Island, ON. which is built
the great city of New York, were sud
denly depopulated by pestlleuce, and
all her piers and thoroughfares left
silent and empty, still would the char
acter OF her perished people remain
written upon the stillcd wheels of her
factories in the squalor Of her tene-
ments, in the splendor of her man
sions, says Edward Markham in Sue
cess. The shell proclaims the shape
and proportions of the thing that once
filled its convolutions. So true is this
that we are able to trace the spirit
and aspiration of dead peoples in the
rude ruins of their cities. in the broken
monuments of their genius. The
sphinx and the pyramid reveal the
sense of eternity that was on Egypt;
the ruins of the Alhambra disclose the
delicacy and daring Of the Moorish
mind; the broken pillars of the Par

straint of the men of Hellas

Nearly week had passed, and Lieut..
Stanton showed no sign of improve

pital was being visited by large par

party was Miss Deuel., keenly sympa-

surprise. and a moment later the two
young people were clasped in each

Lieut.. Stanton rallied from his fever

he was on the road to recovery. His

the story of their romance spread

THE treasury department runs

course of days business" said an
official OF that department. The mails
are full of curious epistles, but as a
rule most of them receive polite atten-
tion and answers are returned. Just
before the close of the year that ended
with December 81 Secretary Gage gave
an interview. showing the splendid
condition of the country in financial
way, and the fun purse OF Uncle Sam.
In his statement he showed that four
years ago or little more the per cap
ita circulation throughout the country
was only S23,14, but that although the
population has increased the volume of
money has more than kept pace. so
that the per capita at the first of tho
year was S2S,73. A II n named Schmidt
in New York saw the statement and
the day after New Year wrote letter
TO the treasurer saying that if the per
capita was Sc much he certainly did
not have his portion of t. He inclosed
q draft on the treasurer for the amount
that he considered he was entitled to.
The draft was presented to Treasurer
