Surprised His Wife,

A story is told of a Pennsylvania
farmer who wore his old suit until
everyone was tired of it, and his esti-
mable wife was almost ashamed of the
iustling man who had been inside it
so long. But one day he went to town
to sell his produce, and while there he
determined to buy new suit, and,
happy thought! surprise Eliza. So he
bundled a neat suit into the wagon and
drove homeward. 1t was after night
as he hurried homeward, and at a
bridge over river he stood up on the
wagon and peeled" and threw the
despised old suit in the water. Then
he reached for his new clothes. They
were gone-had jolted out of the
wagon. The night was cold and his
teeth chattered as he hurried for
home. He surprised Eliza even more
than he anticipated.

scarce articles. A few years ago, re-

men of the country. In his early ca

chickens and invested $50 in game
cock of the choicest fighting strain.
He turned the cock loose with lot
of common hens, and in his idle hours
enjoyed many battles with birds owned
by neighbors. He came home from a

A sALLADE or BACKBlTERS,

They sneer when others get ahead
And say twas luck that placed them
there,
Or hint at things that are not said
Concerning foul ways and unfair;
They see no merit high or rare
Save in the things they do and say,
Their breath pollutes Gods gracious
air
Why did He make them, anyway?
To-day some member of the tribe
MAY come to you, to let you share
Some shameful secret or to gibe
At absent ones-and then repair
To them and, whispering, declare
That you said all he told you.-Pray
Why did God, in His wisdom, care
To make backbiters, anyway?
If you or have cause for glee
They feel that Fate has set a snare
To plunge them into misery
Our joy is always their despair;
When they come slandering, beware,
If they decry your friend to-day,
Tomorrow you the wounds may bear
Why did God make them, anyway?
L'ENVOI.
Preacher and sage, ye say God ne'er
Made aught that was not sent to play
A useful part somehow, somewhere
What of backbiters, anyway?

"Well, father, that is all. 1t is pitt
full little story, is it not? hardly know
why came to you. It was only an i'm
pulse-but have no one to confide in.
l will go now"
With the exception of the slight in
terruption at the name "Fabrice," the
priest had remained mute throughout
the recital; but it was a silence born
OF feeling too intense for utterance.
The first intonation Of the woman's
voice had thrilled and dazed him. At
first he discredited his senses; but
slowly and painfully the fact forced
itself upon him that he was listening
to the drama of his own life-that the
woman kneeling before him was she
Tor whom, nearly ten years ago, he
had renounced the life of pleasure and
ambition and sought the seclusion of
the priesthood, and whose face he
never expected to look upon again.
And now an inscrutable fate had
brought her to him, and he had heard
from her own lips that she had loved
him. and loved him vet.
Like one in a trance ne went through
the formula of absolution; and not un-
til she rose to leave the chapel did he
come to himself. Then the full sig
niticance of the situation flashed upon
him, and with it the alternatives;
should he let her go unspoken and
live on as he had, OF should he speak
to her and reawaken in his heart the
old struggle which he had sought so
long to quell?
But, no-there was no choice. The
mischief had already been done, and
he must speak to her, come what may.
He followed her from the confessional
and spoke her name. "Emilie'' She
turned quickly, and, lifting her veil,
looked him full in the face.
Good God!" she gasped. cit is you
-Fabrice!" Her face went white, and
she reeled slightly, one hand extended,
as if to ward off threatening horror.
Eyes, it is I-Fabrice." He grew
more self-contained as he saw her agi-
tation.
"But-but thought you dead-ten

man whose life you tried to ruin, whom
you - but pardon Il have no re-

grace of God, both forgiven and for

But tell me, Emelie" He went close
to her and looked deep into her eyes,
wide with awe. "Tell me, is it true,
what you said-you loved me, and not
this other man?"
Her eyes dropped before his and she
turned half away-then with an impa-
tlent gesture, she faced him and spoke
impassionately.
True, yes, every word of it is true.
God knows loved you then--and-love
you-yet."
A new light had Illuminated her
eyes, the light of yearning love, and
the hope of happiness.
"And you, Fabrice," she said, softly,
"have you forgotten?"
"Forgotten?" He replied confusedly.
"Why-I hardly know-it is so long
ten long years."
"Yes, it is long" she answered, eager
ly, ''but true love knows no time. All,
Fabrice," her voice was vibrant with
pleading, sis it too late? May we not

me. Now, see! give myself to you"
AS she spoke she threw back her
long mantle and slowly held out her
arms to him. She was doing all in her
woman's power to win him to her. Her
half-pursed lips, her lustrous eyes, her
outstretched arms, every line of her
figure was wooing him back to the love
of his youth.
The man fairly writhed under the
agony of the conflict that was rife
within him. On the one hand lay the
world, pleasures, love, life, all that he
had schooled himself to despise. On
the other hand, the church, duty, and
that peace which passeth understand
ing" In the midst of the struggle
there came from a distant alcove the
intonation of mighty organ and a
boy choir singing "Te Deum." AS he
heard, the crisis seemed to resolve it.
self-the way was clear before his feet.
The hollow world and it's life of tinsel
and vanity lost it's glamour. And the
woman-who was she with her shallow
beauty and slender passion to tempt
him from his duty? She seemed to
shrink and shrivel away from him. 1t
was as if great light had been let into
his soul.
With the decision look of holy calm
came into his face. The woman saw it,
and knew that she had lost. With a
choking sob she stopped and kissed his
hand, then drew her cloak about her
and swiftly left the cathedral. There
was the click of closing door, a word
of command, and then the rattle of the
vehicle, and the hoofbeats, which were
soon swallowed up in the eddy of street
noises.
Within, the priest stood before the
figure of the dying Christ, his hands
clasped and his face transfgured with
a holy triumph.-Pacifc Monthly.

Treasurer. Mr.. Lucas Reyes, clerk in
the City Hall has been appointed
to fill the place temporarily. At the

Current Comment.
Lynching and the

LyllClllllS dllu Tile
Filipino Atrocities.
1t is this spirit of lawlessness, tolerat-
ed too long by the republic, that has
made the Philippine atrocities possible.
Scarcely week passes without a wild
and demoniacal mob inficting its sud-
den vengeance, in the most barbarous
way, upon a suspected person, who may
be perfectly innocent of crime. In some
cases the real criminal incites the mob
to violence in order to cover up his
own tracks, While this is tolerated in
thickly settled parts Of the contry, where
the arm of the law should be strong
and swift to reach offenders, can it be
sur prising that in great army of many
thousands the same spirit will some
times assert itself and pcrpetrate the
crue1est atrocities In so far as there
have been gross violations of the ameni-
ties of civilized war in the Philippines
the 1ynching spirit has been triumphant.
1t has been provoked, doubtless, by
cruelties not less abhorrent on the part
of the insurgents, but they do not just
ify the resort to uncivilized methods by
the Americans. Their army represents
higher development of human pro-
gress and ought not to descend to the
methods of a semi-savage people. For
Itolerating 1ynchings at home the Anne
rican Republic has now to bear the
consequences of 1ynchings abroad. A
few misguided men have by their in
humanity created bitterness of feeling
in the Philippines that has kept the fla
mes of war alive long after the issue
had been practically settled. The Fill
pinos have now to unlearn something
they have been taught regarding Uncle
Sam. They have to learn that he is
better than the lynchers represent him
to be, and that the recognition of his
sovereignty over the islands, which is
inevitable, will conduce to welfare much
more than the continuation of hope
less struggle.-Toronto Mail and En-,

Senator Hanna as an Orator.
Senator Hanna has demonstrated that
he is thinker and an orator of ability,
even though half dozen years ago he
was not suspected of any talent as a
public speaker. 1t is frequently easy
for man who thinks to talk well. In
deed, the first requisite of an orator is
to have something to say, and that is
why Senator Hanna has made a sue
cess as public speaker. He talks in
short but pointed sentences, and he
never seems at loss for an idea. His
short political addresses are full of IL
me1y sayings, and he drives his argu-
ments home with sledgehanmer blows

Edward VII yesterday went under an
operation. and that as result thereof,
the coronation and the festivities which
had been scheduled are indefinitely

growing serious on Sunday afternoon
his physicians determined that the &C.

On Tuesday morning it was finally de-

proved successful, and the King is now
conscious. The physicians state that
while the condition of the patient is
very grave, that the indications are fol
a speedy recovery, if blood poisoning
