COMMON PARTISAN TRAGEDY.
Criminal to Allow Unprotected Girl t,

A too familiar story is told again
in a recent cable dispatch. A young
American girl who had gone TO Paris
TO study art found herself at the end
of her resources and could get no aid
from home. Destitute and starving
she sought out a fellow student, a
young countryman, from whom rte
might make loan. She found aim

and as poor as she. The girl sold
what lit, belongings were left 10 ner
and returned to nurse the young man.

they were married. But they hao

THE ARMY MULE.

There's a true and faithful comrade
To every soldier dear,
Though on the army payroll
His name does not appear;
He's ignorant of tactics,
And never went to school,;
He's born to bear the burdens
The good old army mule.
His hair is coarse and scrubby,
His ears are long and wise,
And in a show for beauty
He wouldn't take prize.
The kicks and cuffs intended
For others as rule
Are vented on the person
OF the patient army mule.
On many field of glory
His shattered bones are laid,
An unrecorded hero
Of charge and cannonade.
The hard and tiresome marches,
The rest beside the pool
Still find him overloaded
The weary army mule,
But if he gets no credit
On this terrestrial ball,
Tie Power supreme, all-seeing,
That notes the sparrow's fall,
And measures beast and driver
By one celestial rule,
Be sure will not forget him
TAe poor old army mule.

little regular musical education, yet
last season he was being paid at tn }
rate of $50 to 81 900 a night for his
recitals in Paris, and has just con-
tracted to give a series of fifty per-
formances in the United States al
$500 apiece, so that it may be safely
argued that by the time he is old
enough to go to school he will have
made a fortune that would turn
many wealthy city merchant green
with envy.
At the age of 10 Josef Holman was
earning $4,000 a year. He studied
under Rubinstein and toured through
Europe, giving concerts in all the
principal cities; but, signing for a
large income, he crossed the herring

which brought him in a profit OF
100000, and quite lately he retired to
finish his education. Another mar
Velous youth, Otto Hegner, made =
fortune of $15O,OOO ere he was out Of
his teens and then retired; but
weary of doing nothing, he began to
teach music at enormous fees, which

popularity that for more than a YePr
he made $500 a night, and at 6 re-
