EASY VICTIMS OF GARD SHARKS

Wrothesly. duke Of Bedford, was in

The duke had been plundered out OF
over $3.50. 900 at hazard, when, sus-

In the last century. He went through
the same ceremony o. carrying off the

valus Of encouragement.

Perhaps there is nothing else so
productive OF cheerful, helpful service
as the expression Of approval of
praise OF work well done, and yet
there Is nothing SO gr~udgingly. so
meagrely given by employers. MANY
of them seem ito think that common
dalton Is demoralizing, and that the
voicing Of appreciation will lead to
listlessness and the withdrawal of
energy and interest. This evinces but
a poor knowledge Of human nature.

probation; but how mistaken such
views are is shown by the loyal and
unstinted service given to those large

GREATNESS THRUST UPON HIM
How Pool French Poet was Made Great
Stata Eupctiouary.

Row Poor French Poet was Made Great
State Functionary.
A Door Partisan Poet named Dubois,
during the reign of Napoleon l. ad-
dressed an ode to Princess Pauline,
Napoleon's favorite sister. A relative
to the poet being waiting maid to the
princess, presented the ode, with the
result that Pauline asked for a post
for NJ. Dubois, a man of superior gifts.
Minister Fouche, delighted to please
the princess, called at the poets hum
BILE attic. The poet put his head out
of the window of his garnet and espy-
ing a carriage escorted by gendarmes,
concluded that the boldness OF his re-
marks with regard to a universal
peace had been badly received by the
emperor and that they had come to
arrest him. Prompted by his fear,
Dubois considered it most prudent to
hide under his bed. The poet was got
out and was sent to Elba as commits
sary general of police. 1t was some
time ere Fouche and Pauline met, and
the princess had difficulty in remem-
bering the request that she had made
for Dubois. Does not your highness
recollect a letter sent to me about
three months age, most p~ressingly
recommending a M. Dubois, a man OF
letters, in whom your highness took
the greatest INTEREST,"" "One mo-
ment," said the princess, and then a
smile overspread her beautiful fea-
lures. my protege, M. lie Due, was a
poor poet, a relative of n OF my
maids, who sent me an ode. What
have you done with him? Have you
given him a stool in one of your de-
partments?" The minister, nettled
at having been duped in that way,
took particular care to suppress the
fact of his having made a grand func-
tionary of Dubois. Unfortunately,
Pouches friends at court got wind Of
the thing and there was an end Of the
secret. Napoleon himself was vastly
amused at 1t and bantered his minis
ter. Dubois was recalled, but already
300, 900 francs had been paid to him.

Crrzon,. Visit to Goa.

Lord Curzon recently paid a state
visit to Goa, the little Portuguese COL
ony in western India. He entered tho
territory by rail, but Lady Curzon went
thither by sea in the Indian marine
steamer Olive. They were received
with full honors by the governor-gen-
eral of Portuguese India, Col. CAL
hardo. Goa is probably the most pros
porous Of Portuguese possessions. Its
harbor, Mormugas, is the finest on the
coast Of Malabar, and the railway
which now connects it with the Indian
system a great amount of trai-

DIR. Emerson Was Too Hasty to Do
Kindly Deed.

A1ndly Deed.
DR.. Edward w. Emerson, the son of
Ralph Waldo Emerson. was recently
the victim of his W generosity, says
the New York Tribune. In Concord.
where Dr.. Emerson lives, one of the
best known characters is a simple
minded old fellow. whose actions fur
nish the villages with an in%exhaustible
fund OF amusement. Among the oddi-
ties of the old codger, who is locally
known as Charlie" is a fondness for
reading. No n has ever discovered
how much of his reading is for pleas
ure, but Charlie is never seer with
out at least one book under his arm.
The other day Charlie" came to DR..
Emerson, and said sorrowfully: doc
tor, they won't let me take books out
of the library any more"
Dr. Emerson has a fine private Ii
brary, and, moved by the sadness in

Turntable for Trolley Cars.

A turntablH for trolley cars has been
patented by an Ohio inventor. 1t is SO
arranged that when the car is driven
on it the front wheels rest upon two
rollers coming up through the track
and, by gently starting the motors,
these revolve under the a and COM
municate their motion through proper
gearing to the turntable itself, and
thus the car is turned around by its
W power, the trolley ~swivelling IN
it's base and staying on the wire. The
crew of the car do not have to descend
from it, and it is asserted that the ap-
paratus works very quickly and sue
cessfully in practice.

Teacher Abandoned Reform.

A teacher in Grundy county. Mis-
souri,. determined that his pupils
should adopt what he termed as re-
formed pronunciation, among other
things, that mamma" and ~"pappa"
have the accent on the
Last syllable. Then he wrote this SEN
tence on the board: Mamma see
what a pretty ros l have" On asking
for correction OF this sentence a
speckle-faced, bullet headed young
gentleman suggested: "You want to
put a commah after mammal, l guess"
Right here the teacher abandoned his
reform.

CHAPTER V.-(Continued.)
Were you looking for anything,
Mason?"
There! then you heard me shut the
drawer!" said Mason, with smiling
sincerity. Yes, miss. Mrs. Mortimer
was asking me for some certain rings
that I've mislaid somewhere, and |
could almost have declared for certain
that l had left them in that righthand
drawer of yours before you came"
There were no rings there" said
Janetta coldly.
When Mason left the "Janetta
opened the drawer and peered in.
There were gloves and handkerchiefs,
which had evidently not been touched;
but on the top Of all were Neville's
letters, which Janetta kept bound to-
gether by an elastic band. One of
them had been taken from the packet,
and was half drawn from it's envelope.
and thrown back hastily into the
drawer.
It's very queer and uncomfortable"
thought Janetta. II can't conceive
what object the girl has in wishing to
read my letters. She shall not have
the privilege! I don't van any one
here to guess how anxious am about
the boy. l wish l were sure that he
had broken with all his old friends;
no effort Of mine will keep him
straight If he won't try himself"
She slipped the letter back into the
packet, locked the drawer, and put the
key into her pocket. Her earthly para
disc seemed failing her all in a minute.
Then she remembered how often she
had found Mrs. Mortimer's eyes fixed
upon her when she received one of
Neville's letters with a queer, suspic-
ious expression in them; and she
laughed aloud as the thought darted
through her mind that possibly Mrs.
Mortimer was crediting her with a
young man" Of her own, and was
ready to make mischief about him.
But, even If this were so, it did not
explain the reason why Mason should
be foraging about among her letters.
She finally decided to make no men,
ton OF what had occurred, but to be
careful about keeping her possessions
under lock and key for the future.

CHAPTER vi.

NI1AA I1At -
Clarice was not at all well for the
next few days, SO that it was not
difficult for Janetta to avoid any in
innate conversation with Captain Mer-
ivale.
Her latent suspicion Of Mason was
famed into a flame by the fact that
one afternoon, when she ran in late
from the town, having gone on some
commission for Clarice, she heard
voices talking in the shrubbery nea
One Of the voices was = mans. the
other MasOn's.
Il sha'nt do it, I tell you! There are
plenty OF people in the house who'd
find me out, and that new one is as
sharp a. q needle!"
Janetta hurried on her way, feeling
very uneasy. What was 1t that Mason
was declining to do, and to whom
could she be talking? That the new
one referred to her she was tolerably
certain. Perhaps 1t would be wise to
mention the circumstances to Mrs.
Mortimer. Accordingly that evening,
when Clarice had gone to bed, she
returned to the drawing room and re-
lated to Mrs. Mortimer what she had
overheard.
1T seems to me, Miss Howard, that
you are making mountains out Of
molehills," said Mrs. Mortimer calmly.
Mason Il an excellent servant, most
civil and obiiging; her character is
beyond suspicion"
Il could swear to her voice." said
Janetta, = little holly. Has she a
young man, do you known"
'Oh. yea. Is there . law Of the
Modes and Persians that parlor maids
should be exempt from love-affairs? 2"
asked Mrs. Mortimer. She's engaged
to q very respectable fellow who does
not live here. Indeed, l happen to
know that he's not in the place at
present, for she only asked my leave
today for . few days holiday to go
and visit his people. She told me
that she had not seer him for more
than six months. l really think, Miss
Howard. that 1t will be wiser il you
leave the management of the house
and servants to me-"
Certainly / will in future" replied
Janetta, swallowing her vexation; hut
1t is the second time that / have had
suspicious about Mason's straightfor-
wardness."
"A letter for you. miss" said a voice
behind her. and Mason, with . per-
fectly immovable face. handed her q
letter on q silver waiter. It was from
Neville. and Janetta slipped it into her
pocket; and she felt somehow as II
her actions were noted alike by both
Mason and Mrs. Mortimer.
"Straightforwardness, indeed" NUT.
tered Mrs. Mortimer angrily. when
Janetta babe her goodnight and went
on to her room. She's none toe
straightforward herself, with letters
from one man nearly every day Of her
life, and playing fast-and-loose with
Miss Seymour's lover under her very
eyes. only she's too infatuated to see
It" It will be seen that Mrs. Morti-
mer was letting her jealousy run away
with her judgment.
That letter made Janetta very anx-
ious and miserable. It was an urgen;
demand for money.
II literally haven't 4 copper to bless
myself with" wrote Neville. "The
landlady's using awful language, and
if you can't help nae I believe soon
she'll turn me out into the street. ~
know tou wont want to draw any
6alary yet: but isn't there some more
