THAT ARE KILLING THE PEOPLE.
TWO STORIES.

With the First.

With the First.
A young man was telling anecdotes
to circle, and one of his listeners was
his mother-in-law. He related one
about funeral A woman had died
The undertaken at the close of the
services at the house said to the be-
reaved husband:
"You will ride in the first carriage
with your mother-in-law."
II decline to ride with that woman"
said the widower. "She has made my
life miserable. To ride with her would
spoil all the pleasure of the occasion"
All laughingly appreciated the hui
NOR of the story except the young
mans mother-in-law.

"Oh," she replied, IT was thinking Of
another story about colored minister
who prayed one day for rain like this:
"'Oh. Lord, sen us a rain. Thou

How aptly Shakespeare touches the
dominant chord in woman's nature.
She suffers in silence draws a curtain
over her private sorrows, and endures
until endurance ceases to be a virtue
This is especially the case with the
modest minded women who suffer from
diseases peculiar to the sex They are
miserable and unhappy, and yet, although
they know that they need medical aid
and assistance, they choose rather to
bear the ills they know than to submit
to the examination of some local ply

but he kept body and soul together.
"He would invite a number Of friends
to come up to spend the evening with
him in honor of his birthday. He was
poor, but good musician. They had
pleasant time, and then some one
would suggest drink. The host was
poor, he explained, but he would go
for the drink. On each trip he made

In the island of Crete, it is said,
bride dressed for the wedding still
calls, last of all, for sprig of rose
mary to bring her luck. Thus we come
to find rosemary in close association
with both marriage and death, just as
the hyacinth was, and perhaps still is,
among the Greeks. 1t is interesting to
trace the connection by which the
same plant came to have two such diff
ferent uses.-All the Year Round.

The Color Of the Eye.

The color of the iris is not uniform in
any eye. Some eyes have spots, others
stripes, still others blotches of white,
green, blue, yellow and black. and the
eye takes its color from the predomi-
nance of one hue. An eye that is con-
sidered gray will often be composed of
black and yellow. An eye that is
thought 10 be brown will be very dark
red, with spots of yellow or blue.

Lincoln ON Joe Hei.keI1.

Sometimes in dealing with the most
serious matters Abraham Lincoln
brought into play a semifacetious,
sardonic humor which was very eff
fective for his purpose. Governor An
drew Johnson teIegraphed as an inter
esting item of one of the Tennessee
fights that the Confederate ex-con-
gresham Joe Heiskell walked to
meet his Union captors. Lincoln re-
piled:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug. 20. 1854.
Governor Andrew Johnson, Nashville:
Thanks to General Gillem for making
the news and also to you for sending it..
Does Joe Heiskells walking 70 meet u.s.
mean any more than that Joe was scared
and wanted to save his skin?

Diamond Tests.

Put your finger behind the stone and
look at it through the diamond as
through magnifying glass. If the
stone is genuine, you will be unable to
distinguish the grain of the skin, but
with false stone this will be plainly
visible. Furthermore, looking through
real diamond the setting is never Wis
ible, whereas it is with false stone.

the association in our minds Of the

could help it.

emperor's objection even to platonic
friendship induced the prince to break
off the acquaintance about six weeks
ago
The fact of the matter seems to be
that young Frederick William is
chap whose amatory tendencies are
developed in an extra ordinary degree.
He falls in love on the slightest provo
cation and, like all young persons of
similar disposition, COMMUNICATES his
hopes to the object of his affection
with a feryency that might be easily
misunderstood. Nevertheless it may
be taken for granted that when, in the
Judgment of the emperor, the time for
choosing a bride arrives he will make
selection pleasing to his family and
the German people.
1t has been stated in authoritative
circles that the young woman most
favorably considered in this connec-
ton is Princess Alice Of Albany. Prin-
cess Alice is a pretty girl, just 10
years of age and full of spirits. She
is the elder of the two children of the
duke of Albany, who was Queen Vic
toria's youngest son and died in 1854,
after long illness. He eft his family
in what might be called "straitened
circumstance royal incomes go
his widow and her two children be-
ing compelled TO get along on an an
nual pension of $4,000, which amount
was doubled by the personal income
of the mother, who was a Russian
Grand duchess before her marriage.
Things looked uncomfortable for the
Albanys until two years ago when,
through the decision Of the duke of
Connausht to renounce for himself
and his son all claims to the throne of
Sake C oburg- Gotha, young Leopold of
Albany succeeded to the sovereignty
az that principality. The revenues of
the grand duchy are immense, andsas
Leopold will be reigning grand duke in
two years-when he shall have at
tanned bis maiority-the future of his
| family may be said to be assured. and
his pretty sister will be lowered as
becomes a princess of her rank.
The French story makes interesting
reading, however; and as no one is par
4icularly harmed by its repetition it
will do very well as topic for society
conversations To look upon it in any
other way would be absurd, because in
| cnite Of the advancement of democrat

are not yet permitted to interfere

WRIGHT IN TROUBLE
England's Monte Cristo" Sued in
London Court.
One of the Most Noted Meteoric FL
nanciers of This Rushing Age
How lie Ruined the Late
Lord DunerIn.

Whitaker Wright, the London pro
inoter OF visionary financial schemes,
and who used the latl Lord DuHerin
as a Agurdhead for the enterprises, has
been called into court to kay $4,000
to creditor 81 one If the defunct
companies.
WhitakeG Wright put II companies
on the London market. The aggregate
capital sfock was Sill, 715,OJ0. The
pubic, guided by the promises 81 large
DIVIDENDS, invested something like
SiO0,000,000 IN these schemes lney all
failed, the creditors receiving Eve
cents on the dollar, the shareholders
nothing.
Lord DuiIern, former governor gen
eral of Canada, and who had been am
bassador to Russia and Turkey and
several times a member of thecabinet,
was induced by Whitaker Wright to
lend his name as president of the Lon-
don and Globe Finance corporation,
the company which was supposed to
finance the enterprises in which the
public was invited to invest. 1t was
Lord Duferin's name and his we'll
known personal integrity that induced
the public to invest millions.
When the crash came Lord Dufferin
was ruined and although no blame
could be attached to him, except that
he had been the blind tool Of Whitaker
Wright, he sank under what to him
was a disgrace, ana his death, which
followed few months ago, was at
tributed directly To his connection
with the bankruptcy of the company
of which he had been the president.
The compulsory liquidation of the
London and Globe Finance corporation
was ordered on October so, 1901.
Since then there have been insistent
demands for action by the public
prosecutor. A special petition has
