Integrity is the Price of Promotion.

If those who are not succeeding in
proportion to the amount of effort
they exert would examine themselves
closely, they would find, as a rule,
that their locomotives are off the
track. Not realizing where or what the
trouble is, they merely intensity it by
putting on more steam. and, the more
they put on, the deeper they sink into
the mud and the harder it Is to move.
If they would stop long enough to
examine their machinery intelligently,
and make a thorough investigation OF
the causes that prevent its working
properly, they would probably succeed
in getting their locomotives on the
right track before they waste all their
steam plowing in the sand and mud.
Even If they do not discover, until after
middle life, the secret Of their failure
to get on, they may ultimately reach
their estination.-Success.

Electrical Possibilities,

When one realizes that it is possible
to-day to transmit with fair efficiency
from single station over a territory
of 100000 square miles area, or, to put
1t In another way, over a diameter of
500 miles extent, and realizes that only
six such stations would be required to
serve the entire country from the At
lantic to the Pacific Ocean throughout
a belt Of 800 miles wide, one may well
think that the alternating current sys-
tenn has approached the limits of its
serviceable expansion, but l am con-
vinced that, while the extension Of the
territorial limits covered by the system
need no longer demand the study of the
engineer, we will expand its use enor.
mously by the perfection Of the ap.
paratus employed and by the employ
ment of new principles and methods
OF generating our currents.-William
Stanley. in the Electrical Review.

dication of trouble had come about
half-hour before, when he and the
family were awakened by the report of
shotgun, followed almost immediate
ly by pistol shot.
"He slept in room over the barn,
but had run over to The house and
reached the side porch before anyone
in the house had appeared. He found
old Kaufman lying face down, dying,
ON the porch floor. His shotgun lay
beside him, and, further away, a pis-
tol, which he supposed must have
been dropped by the burglar. When
got to the house it was all lighted up,
the women We're upstairs screaming
and going on, and two or three neigh
bors, attracted by the shots, were
just, arriving. The poor old banker
was yet where he had fallen, and
nobody seemed to have the nerve to
take even second look at him.

n lantern and stationed the coach
man at the front gate to keep newcom-
ers from tracking up the snow.
Zone Of the first things 1 did after
making sure that Kaufman was dead
was to examine ais pockets. His watch,
n good gold one, was in his vest, which
was unbottoned as If he might have
hurriedly thrown it and the coat on.
He was fully dressed even to the lac
ing Of his shoes. l remembered about
the $4,000 which lie was in the habit
of carrying in his inside vest pocket

suers was nearing him. He redoubled
his efforts, and blood gushed from his
nostrils and flowed down over his
breast.
The fringe Of trees was near, but
q hasty backward look showed him the
pursuing brave close upon him with
spear raised. Moved by sudden i'm
pulse, Golfer stopped, turned and
faced the savage with outstetched
arms.
The Indian was so taken aback at
this unexpected movement that he
stumbled and fell! This was Golfers
opportunity. He ran back, seized the
spear, and pinning his antagonist to
the ground, ran on.
Other savages came on, fcrcer than
before at the death of their comrade;
but Golfer reached the trees, plunged
into their midst cld then into the
river, and swan to pile of driftwood
that had lodged. He dived beneath 1t
and stuck his head up between two
logs covered with smaller timbers and
brush.
The Indians came up and searched
for several hours, but failed to find
him. Again and again they walked
over the dirftwood. Luckily they did
not fire it, as he feared they would.
At last they went away. Then Golfer
swan out and fed through the forest.
Seven days he went on, living on
roots and berries, with no clothing.
until at last he reached trading post
on the Bighorn river. He never fully
recovered from the effects of this ter
rible experience.

"And Kaufman tapped his breast and
whispered, 4 got $4,000 in my inside
pocket. Garry it there all the time,

to carry so much cash around with
him, but he said Heckburg was one of
those men that couldn't be induced to
let go for anything but ready money.

and nobody knows it but you and me-
he said. 1 was little surprised to
know that he had so much cash of his
own, but 1 didn't think much about it
till n few days later, when, as 1 said
1 got my first big case.
"Of course l didn't live in the swell
part of Cedar Grove, but at that my
room wasn't more than six or seven
blocks from Kaufman's. 1t was about
three o'clock one winter morning, just
before Christmas, when 1 was routed
out of bed by Kaufman's coachman.
1 lit the gas and let him in, and while
l was dressing he told me that the
old man had just been murdered.

me if anything ever happened to call

One OF the main motives Of misers
which the London Spectator recognizes
is the passion for collecting. Asiatics
often hoard coin and jewels to their
own hurt, knowing that their possess
sion involves extreme danger; and
there are two authentic stories OF great
accumulatons of gold coin made by
Englishmen who seemed to derive
pleasure from its actual sight and
touch. These are, however, rather IL
lustrations of the collector mania, so
often described and analyzed in the
case Of books and china. than instances
of true miserliness. which is based,
we are convinced, rather on Fear than
on the passion Of boarding.

The steamer Lees has arrived from
the north with news of the killing OF
two men by an enormous grizzly bear
at Rivers Inlet, British Columbia. One
of the men was white trapper and the
other an Indian. Their bodies, to-
gether with that Of the bear, were
found within few feet of each other.
The Indian had apparently taken a
shot at the bear from his muzzle load
ing rifle, and wounded the animal The
infuriated beast had run towards him
and mauled him to death. The white
man then came to the rescue and drove
a long knife into the bears breast, the
point penetrating his heart. Then the
bear turned and killed the white man.
By this time the grizzly was dying
from his wounds, and fell over dead a

One CT the most remarkable In
stances Of the escape Of white man
from the indians was that of John
Golfer, q famous hunter and trapper.
On the day in question he and his com
panion were surrounded by six hun
dred savage warriors. The companion
was instantly killed and Golfer was
captured. His foes had no intention
of saving his life, However; they want
cd the sport of putting him to the
torture, or at least Of playing with him
as cat plays with mouse. The
chief asked him If he could run. He
said, mot much"
He was released and told to save his
life If he could.
Golfer darted away at high speed,
and most Of the six hundred savages
set Off after him. There was a plain
before him six miles wide. bounded on
the far side by river fringed with
trees. Golfer had always been famous
as runner, and his practice now stood
him in good stead. He made straight
across the plain for the stream, and
the ye,ls Of his pursuers lent him
wings. His foes had removed every
shred Of clothing from his body, and
the plain was covered with prickly-
pears, so that his unprotected feet
were lacerated at every stride.
Halfway across the plain he glanced
back. and saw that only few Indians
We're following him. Again he ran on

THE HOUSE AND THE VINE.

The house is old-its windows racked;
Its doors are falling down;
Where once the dainty tintings were
Is now faded brown.
The steps are rotting; in the porch
Great gaping holes are seen;
The roof-tree's broken; with thick mold
The boards are fairly green.
The walk is crumbling fast;
The trees and shrubs are broken-all
Their beauty-days are past.
The sagging rails tug at their posts
As though they fain would drop.
Aye, all is drear and desolate

fourth of that of the cities. In France

they kept the old fellows nose to the

And yet about the crazy door
And round the tottering stoop
Chambers and clings a tendriled vine
In many verdant loop;
And on that vine bright blossoms GLOW
And smile through all the day;
From every dainty fow'r the bees
Sweet burdens bear away.
The broken house-a ruined man
With blighted life and fame;
Soul-windows dimmed, tarnished coat
A more than tarnished name.
The clinging vine, woman's love-
Perchance a mem'ry dear
Whose fragrant blossoms bless the world
Through all the changing years.

~ PEAKING of police stupid
~ ity and queer crimes"
y said the captain musingly,

reminds me of my first
big case, how cutely l worked it and
what failure it turned out to be from
the public point of view. 1 was a
green hand, but 1 had risen to the
degree Of plain clothes,' and was be-
ginning to get reputation with the
department and the newspapers when
the Kaufman case came up and put
me to the bad for keeps, especially
with the police reporters.
"Old man Kaufman was cashier of
the Dexter National Bank and lived
in Cedar Grove, a suburb chiefly noted
for exclusive society Half the popul-
alton kept poor trying to cut wide
social swath, and the other half lived
in misery from envying their neigh
bors. Nobody was very rich, and
nobody was very poor, and it was one
Of those places where the people are
always talking about our first famil-
ies,' pulling off functions and plying
the plain people, OF course l didn't
but old man Kaufman overlooked that
and was the best, perhaps the only
friend 1 had among the swells.
