Debt is woeful burden, except when
you have assets to more than equal
Owe M NJ, 1t. A writer for the
:. Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune gives
the following pertinent instance: At
one time was treasurer of the church
trustees, and had the temporal affairs
IN my hands. During my incumbency
dealt with minister who never asked
Tor money, who never for eight years
ever asked me thing about the money

about it, and he told me an experie nee
something out of the ordinary. I'm
my early days." he said, 81 was sta
toned at small church near lanes
vile. The salary was meager, but, a s
there were but two, it was sufficient.
at the end Of the year, however, my
wife and myself found, after taking a n
account of stock, that we were in debt
to several Of the little stores in sums
that aggregated say $50. To both of
us at the same time there came the
injunction: Owe no man anything
There, almost on Bonded knees. we
resolved to pay that debt forthwith at
any sacrifice, and never again while
we lived to charge even a penny nor
to contract debt of any form" The
salnted man went on: I'VE were re-

plenty of meal, little smoked meat
and enough potatoes to last us. On
those, with milk from neighbours cow
and few donations, we lived through
January and February in perfect hap
piness. BY the first of March every
cent Of the debt was paid, and that
ended it. From that day to this we
have never gone into debt for any
thing, and, in addition. we have made
1t rule to save some thing every year"
L need not say that this twain never
needed to ask aid from the sustentatiou

They had enough and to spare. and
when the husband went to his rest his
end was serene. He had no ankle ties
about the loving wife left behind. Per-
haps it is worth while to say in this
connection that, though childless,
these friends of mine in my early,
churchly days reared several children
whom they had adopted. They turned

A humorous story was related as
the experience of reporter at a re-
cent gathering of women of the press
at Buffalo. 1t was in country
town and she was sent to get an obit-
uary from woman whose husband
had hanged himself in an attic. The
bereaved widow was a friend of the
editor of her paper, and she was spe-
cially instructed to make no allusion
to the hanging in talking with her
The first remarks of the reporter
however, led up to faux pas. Every
pleasant weather." she said, by way
of beginning. "Yes," answered the
widow, "but we haven't had a pleas
ant Monday for washing in long
time" "Oh, l shouldn't think you
would mind that" said the reporter.
mamma always envied you; she said
you had such good attic in which
to hang things"

FOUND TO HAVE WEALTH.
Miserable Looking Old Italian Gre
ates a Sensation in n New York
Courtroom.

Tender-hearted persons in the Har-
lem police court, New York city, were
shocked when Francisco Gorgia, an
aged, shriveled and serable-looking
Italian organ,grinder, was fined five
dollars for begging. The white-haired
old man looked appealingly about the
room, and from long habit, put his
hand out, but, quickly recovering him
self, and glancing uneasily at the mag
istrate, he brought forth grimy old
bag and counted out pennies, nickels,
dimes and quarters until he had paid
his fine. Then he paid five dollars, also
in small change, to his lawyer. BY this
time a crowd was about him. To the
establishment Of the court attaches
and those who had sympathized with
him, he produced package containing
$3.50 in bills and a book on the Bank of
Rome, Italy, showing he had $4,000

daughter $4,000 as a wedding present.

1t has lately been discovered that
the famous peroxide solution will
whiten teeth. The discovery is, indeed,
one of great value in dentistry. The
nerves of teeth have frequently to be
killed and the teeth then often turn
black. If they are in the front of the
mouth they make a considerable dis
figurement, and in the past this could
only be corrected by Gaping them
with porcelain or with gold. But now,
according to the Philadelphia Record.
they may be bieached to the wilderness
of snow. Little holes are bored in
them and the bleaching solution is in
jected. small quantity at a time. The
first Application makes the black
tooth's edges pale. The second spreads
the pallor, and the fourth or fifth com
pletes the operation.

KRUGER'S LIFE AT UTRECHT.
Newspaper Correspondent Says He II
More Phlegmatic and Taciturn
Than Ever.

Cabling from Utrecht, the London
Tribune says there is. no decline in
the popularity of former President
Kruger, although he lives in seclusion
and is seldom seen outside his villa in
this small factory town. He is sur
rounded by a swarm of relatives and
more phlegmatic and taciturn than
ever. He is unmanageable in money
matters, and so deliberate and eau
tious in expressing his opinion and
Judgment respecting South African.af-
fairs, that he is seldom consulted by
the other Boer leaders. DR.. Leyds is
received as the diplomatic representa-
tive of the South African Republic and
allowed to display his full uniform on
state occasions at The Hague. Mr..
Kruger is a private citizen, living in
exile, and is not encouraged to visit
the capital or appearf in public. Yet
he is reverenced throughout the Meth
erlands as hero.
Mr.. Kruger is Enthusiastically aging,
the dispatch concludes, as his follow
ers admit. His heart action is better
than it was and his general health has
improved during his residence near
Utrecht, but his mind has grown dull
and his grim humor has disappeared
He remains the central figure of the
group of Boer refugees, because his
personality is still unriyaled

WON'T PAY THE HIGH RENT.
Russell Sage VIII Move Rather Than
Submit to What He Thinks IL an
ExOPbitant Increase.

Russell Sage said the other day
that he will move rather than pay
the increase in rent which Commo-
dore Gerry intends to charge after
May for the house and lot at SOC
Fifth avenue. Mr.. Sage now pays
$4,000 year, or five per cent. OF $780,
900, the figure at which the land was
valued when he renewed the lease 81
years ago.
Now the valuation has been revised
and placed at 100000, so if Mr.. Sage
still has to pay five per cent. his
rent for land will go up to $4,000
year. He owns the house. He built
it something over 40 years ago, and
has lived there ever since.
''Why, it's outrageous" he said. "to
talk of such raise in rent. They'll
drive everybody off Fifth avenue if
they don't look out. l don't want to
move, for l have lived there over 40
years, but l won't stay and pay any
thing exorbitant."

Some years ago." says the Kansas
City Journal, "a Kansas farmer con-
cluded to put out "a crop of broom

Il haven't given the broomcorn ques-
ton much thought replied the Sec
rotary, but / would advise you to
plant the striped handle brand, as
that seems to be the best seller"

NOT A CAPITAL CASE
Perry VIII Not be Tried For
His Life 1omorrow.
Solicitor ZONES Decides TO Modify the rdict-
ment A Postum Destroyed One

Henry Perry will not stand trial for
his life on the charge of rape.
Solicitor Jones decided yesterday that
it would be almost impossible to convict
the defendant on this charge, so he has
agreed that the bill of Indictment shall
read assault with intent to commit rape.
The special venire of one hundred
men, which was summoned to appear
here at the trial today, Will not be
needed and notice has been sent to them
not to come. The regular jury for the
second week will pass upon this case.
A big hole was made last week in the
docket, which now numbers l54 cases.
There are still a number of cases to try,
which will prolong the court we'll into the
resent week. The grand jury has not
yet completed it's work.
The most interesting development yes
terday in court circles was the arrest of
Mack Fowler for the theft of a possum
from Jim Richardson. Fowler was the
witness relied upon by the State in the
case against Phil Hodge, charged with
carrying a concealed weapon. The case
was to have been tried yesterday, but
Fowler's theft of the possum Friday
night landed him in Jail and thus the
States case was destroyed. Solicitor
Jones let Hodge go without trial.
Marcellus Upperman, who was charg
ed with cruelty to a horse purchased
from Britton Pearce was acquitted. The
case was stubbornly fought.
Cora Wilder was deprived of liberty
for twelve months for larceny and re-
ceiving.
Henry Scott got twelve months in
two cases for larceny.
John Byrd, the bigamist, was arraign-
ed in court and plead not guilty. He
viii be tried Monday morning, when he
will have the opportunity of looking on
both wives at the same time.

Knight Convicted of Embezzlement,
(By the Associated Press.l

Louisville. Jan. Ill. M. Mcknight,
former president of the defunct German
National Bank, of this city, was found
guilty of embezzling the funds of the
bank, by jury in the Federal court to-
night, The case was given to the jury
this afternoon but a verdict was not re-
turned until after s o'clock, owing to the
fact that w. H. Landrum one of the iu-
rors, is Seventh Day Adventist and re-
fused TO consider the case until after
sundown Saturday being his Sabbath.
Mr.. Landrum notified Judge Evans of
his decision this morning by letter, but
the judge compelled him to occupy his
place in the jury box. The latter was
locked in the jury room with the other
jurors, but refused to take part in the
deliberations until after shutdown.
Mcknight was convicted on two counts,
for embezzling S3,796 and for embezzling
$4,000, through the medium of loan to
former city aldermen. This was his fourth
trial on the same charge.

The Hohenzollern in Dry Dock

Berlin. Jan. 1.-THE HohenzolleTn was
placed in dry dock at Kiel today to have
her bottom scraped and panied. She is
under orders to be fitted out for a ten
weeks cruise, and will sail for New
York, January %, according to present
plans, arriving there about February g.
Prince Henry will sail early in February
in one of the North Lloyds ships. He
will be attended by several officers Of
high rank, whose names have not yet
been announced.
The date of the launching of the EN-
peror's new yacht, has been fixed for
February 20. The length of Prince
Henry's stay in the United States is
undetermined and will depend in part
upon the wishes of President Roosevelt
and the Postmaster General for his en-
tertainment. Prince Henry's visit TO
America is regarded by the court as
another evidence of the Emperor's desire
to win the good will of the American
people and Government for Germany
During the past few weeks the Emperor
has shown Ambassador and Mrs. White
various marks of his consideration, and
he has sent President Roosevelt per-
sonal letter expressing his esteem
Later he requested that the Presidents
daughter might christen his new yacht.
He talked with Ambassador White at
the Ambassadorial reception Of New
Years Day longer than to any of the
other guests and now sends his brother
to attend the launching.
The Associated Press is informed that
the Emperor who has always liked every
thing American, deeply regretted the Ad-
miral VonDiederich incident at Manila
and the intermittent bad feeling between
portions of both people and is determined
if it lies in his power to make Americans
feel the friendliness of Germany.
His MAJESTY thought of sending Crown
Prince Frederick William to represent
him at the launching as a great honor,
but changed his plan, thinking that Prince
Henry with his better knowledge and
more ample experience of the world would
be likely to make better impression.
Prince Henry learned the English Ian
guage from his mother, and it comes to
him so naturally that sometimes he I'M
consciously drops into it In moments OF
abstraction. He is not much of talker
either previously or publicly, but his
manner IS agreeable and straightforward
and he is regarded as knowing his pro-
fession extremely well for man OF his
high rank.
