Last Made Shrswd Guess.
Some time ago an unquestionably
suspicious fire occurred In a ready
made clothes store that was carried
on in a certain locality OF lew York.
The fire was Immediately reported to
the office of the company with which
the building and it's contents were in
sured, and an inspector was dispatch
ed to make the necessary investiga-
tions.
The senior partner of the clothing
firm was first waited upon and ques-
toned, and he, Mr.. -Abrah ans, by
name, informed the insurance official
that it was his opinion that the fire
was due to the electric light. He con-
sidered, in fact, that in some way the
glow-lamp wires had fused. Mr.. Abra-
hams partner. who happened to be
Mr.. Moses, was separately interview
ed on the subject, and he also attri-
buted the disaster to electricity. but
incautiously particularized sparks
from the arc-lights as the direct cause
of the mischief.
Whilst returning to the Office the
Inspector happened to encounter Pat
rick Murphy, who held the position
of porter to the conflagrated establish
ment, and thought he might now get
an inkling of the true state of things.
Now, look here, Pat" said he,
what is really your own view Of this
awkward FIRE at Abrahams' shop?
Your two governors seem to look at 1t
in different ways. Mr.. Abrahams says
it was the glow-lights and Mr.. Moses
says 1t was the arc lights. What do
you think about it?'
Faith" replied the son Of Erin, re-
flectively, "Oi'm inclined to fancy 1t
must have been the Israelites!"

Iwentu.tWo Phi,s de elphias,

The man from Philadelphia who was
sending a registered letter from the
New York postOttice last week was
astonished when the man at the win
dow pushed it back to him, and told
him to write Pa" on the envelope.
There are twenty-five Philadelphias
IN this country" he said, and some of
them are places of Importance. A
woman from Philadelphia Ky, was
much offended the other day when l
asked her if she intended letter for
the Pennsylvania Philadelphia. We
have great deal of trouble in this
way with Philadelphia (Penn.) per-
sons. But there are others. Brook
lynitss are almost as bad. There are
as many Broolllyns in the United
States as there are Philadelphias, but
very few persons who live in the
borough across the bridge know It,

Monkev Rides in Enuine Cab.

When Engine No. 326 of tle New
York Central went into the freight
yards at Tarrytown one ni~ht last
week a strange face peered out Of the
cab window. The train carried some
animals belonging to the Boston show.
When it stopped at a way station
few miles above Tarrytown, Admiral
Farraguet, one of the largest monkeys,
escaDed. When the train started, the
monkey made a quick scramble for the
front car. when the glow of the fire in
the cab OF the locomotive appealed to
him. The Admiral made his way over
the tender and entered the cab, to the
surprise of Engine Driver Edwards
and Fireman Martin Kelly. He was
made comfortable, and allowed to con-
tinue his ride to Tarrytown, where
one of the keepers took him in charge.

Simple Remedy Impaired by French
Physician to His Countrywomen.
A red nose is the outward and visi-
BILE sign of something wrong inside
in nine cases out of ten; but there
are instances in which the red nose
of femipinity is caused by merely To-
cal conditions that may be made to
disappear by the use OF a remedy that
a French physician has recently in
troduced to his grateful country wom-
en-.
1t is very simple remedy, and any
red nose not the result of alcohol or
Indigestion will fade into beautiful
shade of flesh pink after one treat
ment.
1t consists of benZine. bandage
of gauZe is soaked in the liquid and
then laid on the nose, care being
taken to avoid rubbing the skin or
causing any irritation that might tend
to redden it.
If the cloth be allowed to remain
on the flesh for a few minutes, the
redness will disappear. and after that
the suspicious shine that succeeds
the color will also disappear and
there will be only the color of the
natural skin.

True to his word. the attorney was
tive clemency for the condemned
man, but without avail.
On the day set for the execution, a
morbidly curious crowd had early gath
cred in q half circle about the scaffold
erected on the slope of the hill, behind
the Jail
Some distance away from the outer
edge OF the circle. anu behind all the
others, old man Tripp drove up in q
farm wagon and stopped.
At the foot of the scaffold, huddled
a crumpled figure in black, supported
by group OF neighborhood friends.
The prisoner ascended the steps to the
platform, alone. For moment he
hesitated then bent to speak few
words in low tone, to tue grief-strick'
en- mother beneath him. then straight.
ening to his full height, his glance
swept quickly over the half circle OF
faces about him. At one point, his
gaze halted, and a puzzled look came
into his eyes. This was followed
quickly by look OF Frightening In
telligerce, and a smile wreathed his
pallid face.
The waiting crowd looked in awed
fascination at the man who could
smile at such a moment. Then the
sheriff stepped forward. Time was
up.
After one swift glance at his almost
fainting mctner, Bill Trip turned
slightly, fixing his eyes upon the top
most branch of nearby tree, his body
drawn erect, and stffened as il to re-
sist a shock. while about his lips the
strange smile sill fingered.
At that instant. there fell upon the
terse, nervous ears of the waiting
crowd, the distant report of rifle.
and on the white forehead of the
man before them, there appeared a
tiny blotch, from which a widening
band of crimson spread RAPIDLY, as
Bill Tripp sank upon the platform.

hill, a newly made grave CLEANS yell

The ONCE Of the commonwealth at

tsh odor from the shelves along the
walls pervaded the room.
The attorney red-faced and gllsfen-

for the first time, that he was not

clad in the simple garb Of the noun

The look of petulance upon the face
Of the attorney charged to an express
sion of gravity as he recognized his
visitor. and when he greeted him his
voice was low, almost strained.
"How are you, uncle Tom?" he said,
come in and sit down."
The old man did not return the
greeting, but silently slouched in and
sank into a chair. Its bout Bill"
he began briefly, fixing his eyes upon
the attorney. The latter nodded but
did not speak, and the old man con-
tinued, I've come to see eff eny-
thing could be dun fur Bill"
The case Of the People VS.. Tripp
had been the commonwealth attor-
neys first big case; the conviction of
the defendant therein his first great
achievement. The crime had been
murder, foul-premeditated and out
ragged justice had called aloud. He
was young man, anu the dignity and
majesty Of the law had impressed him
greatly. He had not failed to do his
whole duty, and in three more weeks
Bill Tripp, the defendants was to be
hanged.
The attorney had been proud of his
success. His work had been thorough
and the many words of praise De-
slowed upon him, by lawyers stand
ing high in their profession, had
pleased him greatly. Of what this
gratifying success meant to the man
on trial for mis- life, he had never
really thought, until the solemn words
of the death sentence brought sudden
realization. Somehow the low tones
of the Judge had awakened within him
new appreciation of what to him
had seemed merely suit at law. and
he glanced wonderingly at the tall
young man standing half carelessly,
listening intently to the tones tlat
were ringing u.s death knell. 1t
seemed Impossible that his life, so
strong and vigorous, must end, and
because of this-because OF his eff
forts.
With these new thoughts came a
disturbing sense OF his own RESPONSE
bility, and for a moment he almost re-
GREETED having chosen the profession
of law.

OLD LOVE REKINDLED
AFTER SIX YEARS OF DIVORCED
 LIFE COUPLE REMARRY.
John D. Foster and Mrs. Lizzie Eos ter Brought Together by Their Two Young.
 Children.

After a separation of six years. John D. Foster and Mrs. Lizzie Foster became convinced that the differences which had brought them into the divorce court so long ago and which had kept them apart ever since should no longer cause their paths in life to deviate. Acting upon this they repaired. Monday night, to the of- flee of Justice W. C. Fuller and were re- married
 Behind this marriage is concealed a romance at once pretty and interesting. When the couple were divorced the two children, then near years of age each, were given into the custody of Mrs. Foster. Since the time the mother has kept the children in school. the father, who is employed as a coppersmith in one of the railroad shops of Montgomery. has kept a watchful eye over them.
 Some time since he became convinced that, in view of the fact that he was earning a good salary, 1t was his duty to do his share by the young ones. To this end he sought his divorced wife and together they talked of the children's future These conferences resulted in the rekindllng of the old flame of love. Past differences were forgotten in the plans for the future. and Monday they decided to remarry.
 The ceremony was performed by Justice Fuller before several witnesses.
