delivery letter addressed to the stranger.
The stranger excused himself, opened the
letter and from IL there huttered a hand
somely engraved and profusely certified
check on one of the first banks of New
York to the order of the stranger, and
We'll, by George!' exclaimed this genial
man, we've got TO have another bottle on

host explained to him all about the check 1t

sugar. He had placed a few hundreds with
Robertson Roberts, McCoutts & Co.-of
Wall street. Roberts had inside informa-
ton, and this inside information was max
ing. for the friends of Roberts rapid little
fortunes on the quiet.
The next day Mr.. Andrews, as a sort OF
flier put UP a Numerically wire, of course
with Roberts McCoutts & Co. The day
after he received his check. 1t was for
$50. This was good thing-too good to
keep. With the permission of his new
found friend he told some of the boys about
1t, and Andrews and the boys put up sew
eral thousand on sugar. 1t SO happened at
this iuncture that the strangers business
was concluded in Lorraine. He was on his
way back to the metropolis. and as a mat
ter of accommodation, he agreed to deliver
the few thousands to Roberts, McCoutts &
Co. He gave his receipt for it, and, emery
ing from the light blue smoke of 20-cent ci-
gars. left the good old town of Lorraine.
In few days Mr.. Andrews, who had re-
ceived no word from Roberts. McCoutts &
Co.. wrote them a letter The letter came
back There was no such nrm. He had de-
posted his check Of $50 in his bank at Lor-

A bluff. hearty man with a trayeI-ststned
appearance stepped into the First National
BANK with the proprietor of the Lorraine
Hotel. The bluff, hearty man wanted to
deposit to his credit some $1,000. The hotel
proprietor was rather proud of this man
Ior he was John Billings, the famous cattle
king of Arizona. Lorraine was a great
grain center, and attracted by tn,

him up in Bradstreets. John Billings was
all right, the agencies reported They reg

statement from Billings himself, as Billings
was III the middle west or eastern states

This seemed satisfactory Billings had
some further arrangements to make in
Lorraine. Gradually he was introduced to

An Emperor In Arms.
From the Toronto Star.

Emperor William of Germany is cover
ing himself with glory on the field of war.
He is as Irresistible in sham battles as the
boy IN the nursery playing with tin soldiers
1t Is easy enough to feel like Charlemaene
when leading troops to victory in sham
hght' ana 1t Is not hard to Guido the
strategy OF Frederick the Great when the
opposing force Is doing its level best to as
slst rather than defeat the conoueror.
There Is much to be said for the kaisers
method OF proving himself a great warrior.
Perhaps the nations may be induced IN
take 1t up. If France and Germany should
go to war. they might fight with blank
cartridges. having a British or Russian
general as referee. He could score points
and order the defeated side to retire.
Sooner or later one army would get the
other where. according to strategy. IT
would be done for and thereupon the
war would be over-wfthout bloodshed and
yet anording glory for the brave and con-
tracts Tor army contractors. An advan-
tage OF this plan would be that kaisers and
Kings couid lead their armies without dan
ger TO their sacred persons.
Inc emperor wants his men to know that

Sweet is the voice that calls

Sweet is the voice that calls
From babb,ing waterfalls
III meadows where the downy seeds are flying:
And soft the breezes blow
And eddying come and go
In FADED gardens where the rose is diving
Among the stubbled corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn.
Inc merry partridge drum in hidden places
Ana gl1ttering insects CLEAN
Above the reedy stream
where busy spiders spin their ilmy laces
At eve, cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall
AND on the clustered grapes to purple turning.
And peary vapors lie
Along the eastern sky
Where the broad harvest moon Ia redly burn;po
All, soon field and hill
The wind shall whistle chill,
Ana patriarch swallows call their focks together.
To fly from frost and snow
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms Of balmier weather
The cricket chirps all day,
- falrest summer, stay!"
The squirrel eyes askance the cheStnuts browning
The wild fowl fly afar
Above the foamy bar
And hasten southwark ere the skies are frowuiu1
Now comes a fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar trees
And round about my temples fondly fingers
In gentle playfulness,
Like to the soft cnress
Bestowed In happier days BY loving fingers.
Yet, though q sense Of grief
Comes with the falling leaf,
And memory makes the summer doubly pleasant,
In all my autumn dreams
A future summer CLEANS,
Psrsins the fairest giories Of the present!

Burial Insurance.
From the Chicago Tribune.


Burial insurance is a som6er form OF
guaranty, but it has become popular In
Boston, according to the Advertiser of that
city Two years ago there We're but two
organizations devoted to that kind of insur-
aHce; now they are springing up ali over
the city The object of these associations
Is to provide burial expenses of members
to the amount of 800. The Penny Aid
society is fair sample of these societies
every member Is guaranteed a $1eb funeral
ne assessments are 81 at joining and dues
OF s. a year. As the membership is ex-
traordinarily large the associa ton is never
hampefed in the payment OF its policies,
no matter how often de lths may occur
These associations in Massachusetts, do
not undertake to provide monuments or
memorial tablets. or extra display of any
KIND. they simply enable n workman TO
have decent funeral and burial at his own
expense. He is sure OF that much and his
assessments are so small he hardly feels
them. If he himself wishes a 81 y funeral
OF course the undertaken will gladly accom-
MEDIATE him, if he pays an extra hundred
manifest their grief by a funeral supper
and a stately line of carriages and a brass
tand, there Is nothing to prevent them from
doing so if they afford it. The excel
lent feature of these associations is that a
member can feel sure he will have decent
funeral. for if the undertaken is aware that
tho limit is S1e0 ne will make his bill to
suit and he will have a good profit.

gas radiators at Brussels which were exact

have no law against the home use of for

that foreign goods shall not be sold as

In Russia l found the merchants selling
machines marked American which were
made in Sweden after American models. 1t
is the same here as to clocks. The little
nickelpiated dollar xmas are to be seen
everywhere. They came in first from
America. but are now only cheap German

reputation built up by our goods.
At the Swedish Export Bureau
Stockholm has an export bureau devoted
to pushing Swedish trade all over the
world. In a chat with one of the officials

leans was fast passing away. Said this
man:
There are so many Swedes in the United
States that look upon it as our sister
country. When we buy of you We feel as
though were trading with our brothers.
and in general we are disposed to favor
American goods On the other hand, you
are our competitors to certain things,
and in those we have to fight you.
There are many branches in which
American trade might be increased the
official went on. ''One of the chief is in
the importation of the American shoe.
There shoes sold here at So pair
which Go not equal the American machine
