A Knave of Conscience
By FRANCIS LYNDE.

I what I suspected. You couldn't keeI
your peculiar views muzzled ever
while you were writing bit of pot
boiler. That brings us back to the ole
contention. You drop your fool so
cialistic fad and write book that q
publisher can bring out without com
uniting commercial hari-kari, an6
you'll stand some show. Light up and
fumigate that idea awhile"
Griswold took the proffered cigar
cit doesn't need fumigating; if could
consider it seriously, it ought to be
burnt with fire. You march in the
ranks of the well-fed, cambridge, and
it's your business to be conservative

what would you have? The worlds
as it is, and you can't remodel it."
eyes, 1 and my kind can remodel it,
has grown too heavyto be borne. The
aristocracy of rank went down in fire
and blood in France a century ago;
that of money will come to its end here
when the time is ripe"
That's rank anarchy. Ididn't know
you'd gotten so far along"
"Can it what you please; names
don't change facts. Listen"-Gris-
void leaned across the table and his
eyes grew hard and the blue in them
was steely-"For more than month
l have tramped the streets of this ac-
cursed city begging-yes, that's the
word-begging for work of any kind
that would suffice to keep body and
soul together; and for more than half
of that time, I've lived on one meal a
day. That is what we have come to-
we of the submerged majority. And
that isn't all; thewage-worker himself
is but serf, a chattel among the other
possessions of some fellow-man who
has acquired him in the plutocratic re-
distribution of the earth and the full
ness thereof"
cambridge applauded in dumb show
with his thumb-nails. "Turn it loose
and ease your mind, old man." he said,
indulgently. 81 know things haven't
been coming your way lately. What is
your remedy?"
Griswold was fairly started now, and
ridicule was as fuel to the flame.
"The money people have set us the
example. They have made US under
stand that might is right; that he who
has may hold-if he can. The answer
is simple; there is enough and to spare
for all, and it belongs to ALTO him
who has sown the seed and watered it
as well as to him who has reaped the
harvest. That is a violent remedy, you
will say. So be it; it is the only one
that will cure the epidemic of greed.
There is an alternative. but it is only
theoretical"
"And that?"
"May be summed up in seven words:
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
SELF When the man who employs
and governs-uses the power that

some Average Earnings.

Announcement in the British Med
zeal Journal that the average income
OF physicians is $4,000 year has
caused much controversy. 1t is main
tanned that only small number earn
so much, even after years of arduous
work. In this country some average
incomes are estimated thus: Sur
geons, $4,000; physicians, $1,75O; law
yers, $1,250; journalists, $1,000; cler-
gymen. 5000; artists, $3.50; authors,
$500; nurses, $500.

THE BAPTISM OF BELLS.
A Religious Ceremony of the Roman
Church That Dates Back Many
Centuries.

Bells were solemnly baptized like
children-a custom which is still ex-
tant in the Roman church. This is
probably not a primitive practice,
and cannot be traced further back
than the reign of Charlemagne, says
the Gentleman's Magazine. 1t is first
distinctly mentioned in the time of
Pope John XIII. (9sS), when he gave
his own name to the great bell of the
Lateran church. Sleidan gives an ac-
count of the ceremonial to be OBJ
served. "First of all, the bells must
be so hung that the Bishop may be
able to walk round them. When he
has chanted few psalms in low
voice, he mingles water and salt, and
consecrates them, diligently spring
ling the bell with the mixture, both
inside and out. Then he wipes it
clean, and with holy oil describes on
it the figure of the cross, praying
the while that when the bell is
swung up and sounded, faith and
charity may abound among men; all
the snares of the devil-hail, light
ming. winds, storms-may be rem
dered vain, and all unreasonable
weather be softened. After he has
wiped off that cross of oil from the
rim, he forms seven other crosses on
it, but only one of them within. The
bell is censed, more psalms are to be
sung, and prayers put up for it's wei
fare. After this, feasts and banquet
ings are celebrated, just as at we'd
dinnr

He Had Money.

Little Tommy sat way back in
church with his mamma. 1t was his
first experience. Everything was
wonderful to him. By and by the
collection was taken, but imagine the
surprise of Tommy's mother, when
the usher passed the plate, to hear
Tommy say: mo, thank you, I've got
some money of my own."-Detroit

Gerrynander. Do not Pay.

The Iowa republicans are talking
about rearranging the congressional
districts of that state so as to make
them solidly republican. The New
Jersey republicans tried to gerry
mander that state so as to carry nine
out of ten districts, but they spread
the vote out so thin that they carried
only seven districts. 1t has been
demonstrated often that gerrymand-
ers do not pay.

Liberal Treatment of Employees.

The Pennsylvania railroad company
will incur no loss through it's liberal
policy to employees. A ten per cent.
increase in salaries, amounting in
the aggregate to more than $4,000, 900,
should be an incentive to render bet
ter services. The action of the com.
pany is all the more praiseworthy
because it was voluntary. 1t shows
that one corporation, at least, has g
soul.

MURDER
Eascted at JOhnstown Between
Ernest KnIsely and John Wheeler.
Wheeler Lies at Point Of Death with
Skull Crushed.
Men ouarreIed over a Bunch of
Furs-OId drudge Existed.

A tragedy was enacted at Johnstown
Thursday evening, as the result of
which John Wheeler, a carpenter,
lies at the point of death and Ernest
Knlsely, a farmer, and peddler, may
become a murderer and pay the penal
ty for the crime In states prison.
The two men fell out over bunch
OF furs, there being misunderstood
ing over the price and as to the owner
ship, both or them being in the fur
business. jealousy is said to have
existed for some time between them
and they followed one another around
70 the annoyance Of each.
Thursday afternoon after thay had
engaged in a bitter quarrel, KniseIey
picked up large stone and struck
Wheeler on the back of his head,
MASKING his skull in frightfully. The
injured man was taken to his home
and Doctor Winfield was summon
ed to attend him. The physician found
that the skull was so badly fractured
that he had to extract nine pieces of
it, leaving cavity, the size Of silver
dollar. The operation was skill'ully
done, but Wheeler's condition is
alarming to his friends and the physi-
clan has given up all hope Of saving
his life.
1t appears that there had been a
grudge Of long standing between the
two men and a very bitter feeling ex-
listed between them.
Wheeler is about 4s years Of age and
has a wife. Kniseley is some 10 years
younger.
So far the would-be murderer has
not been arrested and may not be I'M

ternoon and 1t is supposed he has LETT

Wheeler died late Saturday evening.
