Miss TarbelI Dissects a Money King.


In the December number OF Nc.
Clure Miss Tarbell begins the second
part of her history of the Standard
Oil company. She gives an account
of Rockefeller's odious system of es-
pionage OF the business of independent
concerns and says:
eff Mr.. Rockefeller had been rs
great psychologist as he was q business
manipulation he would have realized
that he was awakening a terrible pop.
ular dread, and he would have fore.
seen that one day with the inevitable
coming to light of his methods there
would spring up about his name a crop
of scOrn which would choke any crop
Of dollars and donations which the
wealth of the earth could produce"
Mr.. Rockefeller is still alive and
that day of scorn has come. Every
where he is feared and dreaded, it is
true, but he is also scorned. No one
respects his character, no one attaches
any Importance to his piety. Even
the recipients of his generosity do not
admire him. After all, there is some.
thing in this world-even in this mod.
ern American world-besides money,
and John d. Rockefeller knows it bet
ter than anyone else. More than any
one else he has had an opportunity to
find out what money can do for q
man, and he has found it powerless
even, to mack him from the public.

How One Good Soul Was Made Happy by the
Hand Of Sweet Charity.
BY LUE VERNON,

By LUE VERNON.
She was poor, thin, careworn.
bedraggled creature, to whom the
Fates had not been kind. All of the
high hopes Of her life had been gath
cred up into the secret recesses OF her
heart and were as withered leaves.
Bafiled, defeated, bitterly disappointed
at every turn, she had fallen into q
dull apathy from which it seemed
that nothing could arouse her. And
yet the bright light of hope lighted
up her dull eye, and an eager, wistful
look came to her pale cheek when
sister OF mercy came to her in her
bitter poverty and said: "My good
woman, we want to do something to
make the Christmas-time bright and
beautiful to you, and l have come to
ask what l can get that will give you
the most pleasure. have five dollars
that our society has voted to you."
Tears of gratitude streamed down the
poor woman's face. She sobbed con-
vulsively, and her hollow chest heaved
with pent-up feelings. Heaven bless
you'll" she said, lifting her visitors
daiutly-gloved hand to her lips. How
can 1 thank you enough for the bright
mes. and happiness you have brought
into my poor sad life! II you will only
take this money your society in its
sweet charity has voted to me, and get
me O real ostrich-feather boa, and one
OF those new duplex corsets, Heavens
richest blessings will come upon you,
and / shall be happier than / ever
dared hope to be again in this life."
And her joyful tears fell efresh.

The Comfortable Ticking Of Clock.

Give me the clock Tor company. l
conceive of nothing moro friendly,
more unspeakable comforting than the
mellow tick of the old family clock
which towers high on the old fashioned
mautel, above the good old open faced
fireplace where the ambers are dying
down aud deepening into a blush
melancholy gray late Of winter nights
One never feels quite alone as one may
hear the mellow tick.tack OF the old
family loom, the same sweet mellow
cadences which have rung in ones ear
from earliest infancy, through all the
changes and upheavals of time, on
down to the present. Other sounds
may fall and deepen into the sadder
silence OF the nights heavy stiffness.
But the old clock continues to mark
the flight of time, and no second may
escape, without hearing its passing
called out dreamily by the faithful
clock whose hands have measured al.
ready 90 many days-some bright, and
full of light, and life, and promise, and
sweet bodings in the future, and others
echoing back sepulchrally from the
years already counted. Give me the
clock with its ticking all through the
night, and its silvery Ginning on the
hour, and you may have all the other
things, I'll take the clock in mine
every time when it comes to keeping
off that feeling of lonesomeness which
creeps upon US now and then.

CHRISTMAS At DRY GULCH.
hard-Iuck Howard and His Christmas
Tree.
BY LUE VERNON.


"Speakin' OF Christmas trees" said
Howling Bill, as he snuffed candle
On the topmost twig of the Dry Gulch
Sunday School tree with his trusty
six-shooter, and then nipped remon-
STRANGE in the bud by getting the drop
on the Sunday School Superintendent,
reminds me Of galoot named Hard
luck Howard, who lived up on Tender
foot Ridge, and who was the biggest
kicker that ever lived. This yer Hard
luck Howard lived in cabin on top of
the ridge, and p'tended ez how he was
a miner, but he didn't never seem to
mine anything, and was centrally re-
garded ez fellow without any visible
means of support. Some folks said he
was a road agent, and other opined
ez how hos. stealin' might be the
workin'.
"The only thing Dry Gulch ever
knowed him to be doin' was putin
up a powerful kick about one thing er
mother. He alters had some hard
luck story to tell, and that was why
folks called him Hard.luck Howard.
"There wasn't a decent lookin' tree
on top of the hull ridge, 'cept one, and
that stood right in front of Hard-luck
HOward's shanty. 'She's my old
Christmas tree Howard would growl
every time Christmas came round,

"That was jes' Hard-luck's pesky

every year.
What's the use havin' blame

Have q dern good notion to cut heI
down.
"This went on year after year and
the boys KEEP a wonderin' and avon
derin' how Hard.luck got a livin'.
One Christmas eve they found out.
and it put an end to Hard.luck's
quarrel with his big Christmas tree.
Fer the very first Christmas sence
Hard-luck had been livin' in Dry
Gulch there was somethin' hanging on
his Christmas tree. what was it?
repeated Howling Bill, as he snuffed
another candle. Why, it was old
Hard-luck Howard hisself, and he was
kicken'-ez usual, and kicken' with

THE TIPPING SEASON.
The Gift-Mskins Season Of Childhood. Be.

The tipping season has arrived. I

edge that tipping goes on quite IRE.
spective Of times and seasons. But
Christmas is peculiarly sacred to those
who think they have any claim upon
our good nature and benevolence.
Many time.honored institutions are
rapidly crumbling away. Of the good
old customs Of our child hood, many
of them are retiring into the shadows
of the past, but the ever robust and
unabashed applicant for q Christmas
tip remains. He is a hardy annual.
We could get along without him
that is, in his tip-beseeching charac-
ter-beautifully, but he refuses to 20.
We are at his mercy. All day long
the door bell keeps up q ting-a-ling,
until we are we'll. nigh distracted and
maddened by the sound. In fact, the
button is pressed until we fear that
the battery is going to be used up in
twenty.four hours. II is astonishing
how wide is the circle of our indebted
ness. A man never knows what vast
number OF faithful servants and friends
he has until Christmas comes round.

Tipping, as a system, is nuisance.
With ample apologies to the illustrious
Bard of Avon, cannot convince my
self that it is altogether blessing to
him that gives. He grows weary in
the doing of it, and is not always un-
inclined to heap anathemas upon the
meek supplicant who wishes him the
compliments of the season." But
though do not agree with tipping. as
a system, l must confess that there
are some who have q claim upon us
for an unconsidered trifie. Let me
give q solitary instance-the mail-car.

WHAT A NlGGER BOY WANTS.

BY LUZ VERNON,
His mother took him on her lap
And said: "Now, Buster dear,
What present would you rather have
IfSanta Claus were here.
You must not ask too much you know
Because to little boys
Who ask too much, old Santa Claus
Don't ever come with toys.
Come. tell your mother now, with what
Would you contented be-"
Wee Buster screwed his tiny face
In wrinkled dignity.
he shook his kinky hair about
And said with earnestness:
deed, mumsy, what wants Is small,
An amt too much, dess."
For just a moment he sat still.
And nodded low his head
As though deciding what he'd like
Then this 10 what he said:
" Id like to have kan'aroo
A elefant an a tagger, too,
I'D like to have drate big COW

A TRAGEDY.
BY LUE VERSON.

Away up in the Kootenays,
At the foot of n maintain high,
Where the sunshine dare not enter
And the tall pines only sigh.
Stands little old log cabin.
Clustered DER with creeping vine
There sits a hasgard miner,
Who is hiding from a crime.
While gazing at the glowing fire,
he sees sad, sweet face,
OF an unsuspecting country girl,
Whom he flattered, and disgraced;
And as the snowflAkes softly fall.
He remembers tits Christmas eve,
And wonders where she is to night,
That "poor thing" he deceived.
Twas her fault; she was handsome,
With face and form divine,
While II was but human,
Yet pleaded: Love, be mine'
Silly girl. Life's taught her better,
Ahme. What's that A face.
Pshaw. am getting childish,
As the days roll on apace"
Open wide he filings the shutter;
The cold air fans his cheek;
The snow-capped guards of granite
For his secret seem to seek.
"Well. up here in the mountains
am safe from any harm,
And-perhaps she has forgotten
Our little romance on the farm"
form steals from the shadows
OF the tall and whispering pines.
With love now turned to hatred
Though she worshpped at time
A fash of steel in the moonlight;
A mans life ebbing fast
Helen! YOu-Christmas-fou me-"
The atonement came at last.
Away up IN the Kootenays,
At the close of Christina day,
A lifeless form, with dagger wound,
In front of his cabin lay.
But woman in foreign cline,
As the years glide swiftly by,
Sees crimson stain; on field of snow
The tears fall from her eye.

WAR ON Washers.
Crusade is Planned in Denver to Clear City
Streets and Protecting Working Class.

IruSdQe IS Pldnne0 IN UenVef 10 Iiedr lily
Streets and Protecting Working Class.
Denver women have adopted very
stringent methods to protect the girls
who are compelled to obtain a living
in the Office and shops by the devils
who lurk in the by-ways to tempt in
nocence from the path of virtue.
The plans for relief are in charge OF
Miss Louise Lee Hardin, President of
the Denver Women's Business Club.
The plan is far-resching one. 1t
consists first of patrol of the streets
by score of young women, who will
keep vigilant outlook for the street
masher," and when found rep ort his
offense to the nearest police officer.
In addition Miss Hardin proposes to
organize the young women in the Of
fees and shops on a mutual protection
plan. In this way when girl has q
complaint against her employer she
can rely on the assistance of many of
her fellow employees to prove her
charges.
The details are being carefully
worked out, and before the Christmas
shoppers swarm the streets the women
expect to drive the "mashers" from
their familiar haunts.
Miss Hardin is enthusiastic over her
scheme, and woe betide him who at
tempts to fiirt with some enhancing
maiden he may observe upon the
street. The prettiest of the working
girls have been picked out by Miss
Hardin to recruit the anti-mashers "
police. She is working along Psrisian
methods, and before complaint is filed
there will be ample evidence to sus-
tain every charge preferred against
the culprit.
"No one woman will have to con-
front her employer in court, to be
browbeaten and intimidated by law
yers and retire willing under the
abuse heaped upon her." says Miss
Hardin. "She will have several wit
nesses of her own sex to substantiate
her charges"
Miss Hardin says she was actuated
in starting the new crusade by her ex-
periences in seeking work in Denver.
II know we will succeed" she said.
Every day we are getting stronger.
Interest has been awakened, and the
working girls of this city will have
protection. It is surprising, when one
sums up, how many homes are solely
dependent on one little woman"

ror. The church is situated near the
beach, and occasionally the seas reach
over the burial ground and up to the
walls. The heavy stone canopy was
swept from its columns and fell in q
ruin at the side of the tomb, breaking
the oar and the right arm OF the figure
in its fall. The classic features of the
beautifully nodded face seemed to
speak a patience amid the wreck, and
the visitor found himself held to the
spot by an indefnable compassion. A
restoration of the memorial is now in
progress.
We can never forget the feeling Of
suppressed and speechless emotion
with which we entered the ancient
church and with muffled step moved
the aisle. We fingered much longer
within its sacred shadows than was our
wont; conscious that many centuries
in stone looked down upon us from its
walls. The darkened and vaulted roof
seemed instinct with warm and shell
tering hospitality, and we could not
but think Of the lovely and the beau.
tiful" who in gladness or in sadness
had gathered there. The font at which
Grace Darling was baptized was there;
and there the chancel rail at which
she had often kneeled. As we stepped
up to the bier, bearing her similitude
o stone in the north transept, we felt
afsort of thankfulness that so much,
at least, that was honored by her form,
was sheltered from the tempest. 1t
was wild, dark day, and the mingling
dirges of the storm whelmed all sense
OF cheer. From without could be
heard the roar Of the German Oces n
as it rolled in rhythmic measure up
the beach, or recoiled against the cas-.
tie walls; and through the tesselled
windows could be seen the distant
lighthouse, dimly looming like mon
ument through the driving foam and
mist. Not an object or an element
seemed at ease or at rest. AS we
looked out upon that surf.smitten shore
which her youthful feet had pressed,
and to the frenzied seas, lashing the
Longstone Light, and remembered
that it was in such a scene that her
heroic errand was performed, it re.
quired no extravagance of fancy to
believe that the Galilean Pilot walked
the waves in answer to her prayer.
We had wished the day were fairer, but
we became thankful that it was not !;
for the gleam OF Grace Dsrling's soul
