TO WHOM IT CONCERNS

''I was early the pupil of Miss Sarah J. BOdwell. the principal of Sanbornton academy of New Hampshire. and fin ished my course Of studies under Prof Dyer H. SanbOrn, author of Sanborns Grammar. Among my early studies were Comstock's Natural Philosophy, Chemistry. Blair's Rhetoric. Whate- ley's Logic, Watts ion the Mind and Moral Science.
 At sixteen years of age l began writing fer leading newspapers. and for many years wrote for the best maga- zines in the south and north. I have lectured in large and crowded halls in New York City. Chicago. Boston, Port land and at WatervilLe college. and have been invited to lecture in London and Edinburgh.
 Tn 1883 I started the Christian Sci ence Journal. and for several years was the proprietor and sole editor or ,''at journal. In 1893 Judge s. J. Hanna be- came editor of the Christian Science Journal. and for ten s1bsequent years he knew my ability as n editor. In his recent lecture at Chicai;o he said. Mrs. Eddy is from every point of view a woman of sound education and liberal culture.

HEAVYWEIGHT CONGRESSMAN.

Ollie NJ. James. who last year was elected to congress from the First dis trict of Kentucky, will be the heavy weight of the next house He tips the scales at 300. although he is only thir- ty-two years old. He is about as tall as Congressman Cy Subway of New Hampshire. the tallest man in congress since Colonel Berry of the Covington district of Kentucky retired to the shades of private life. James is the successor or Charlie" Wheeler who made himself notorious in his savage attack upon Prince Henry of Germany because this government saw fit to ap- propriate money for his entertainment during his visit to the United States.
 Ollie has had his eye on that seat for the past four years and has finally landed. He has taken a leading part in Kentucky politics since attaining his majority, was chairman of his state delegation at the Chicago convention in 1896. and is said to be consfdera ble of an orator in addition to his stock of common sense-New York Commercial.

NAPoLEoN's CHARACTER.

In character Napoleon may be said to have been not so much wicked as de- void of moral sense. The first princi- ples of morality seem to have had TO place in his mind. ard it is difficult to see how they could have found en- trance there. He had really no country. and consequently no patriotism. Born Corsican. and setting out with bitter hatred of France as the destroyer of Corsican liberties. he never really be- came Frenchman. He never learned to write the language, hardly to pro- nounce it. France was the seat and fulcrum of his power. his throne. and the recruiting ground of his armies. Whatever he might say in proclama- tons, in his moments of sincerity he spoke of the French contemptuously az people who were to be governed through their vanity. which it was nec- essary to feed with perpetual course of victories. Domiciled in France. he had consorted with a set of adventur- CTS as profligate as any that the world has seen. The only sort of public mor- ality with which he had ever been in- pressed was the fidelity of the soldier to military duty.-Goldwin Smith in the June Atlantic.

The company will present a large and varied repertoire of stand ard and royalty plays. The opening play of "Fanchon" will be followed by a comedy production. Many of the plays will be entirely new. Among the most notable productions will be the military drama, The Volunteer" !" the southern drama Down Where Magnolias Bloom." "Infilece." Human Nature" and The Circus Girl' Many of these plays are secured for the Fort Worth company, as well, so lovers of high drama may look for a genuine treat, as Manager Curtiss is partial to this style of entertainment. The dra- matic cast of the new company will be headed by MT. and Mrs. Wilfred Lucas who will be found extremely gifted and talented people of culture and refine ment. Others in support are MOnda Glendower. MignoI Phelps. Evelyne Cummings LuCele KeltOn, Gladys Kel- ton, Ned Kelton, Joseph Heathcote Thompson, Fred Wilson. Raymond Manion. Ed I. Perrin. Arthur Still.

AN INTERESTING OLD CLOCK.

An Augusta collector of antique fur niture has just discovered an old Washington clock in a New Hampshire town which he prizes very highly. He found it in a deserted house which was built early in the last century, and it was slowed away in the garret. He succeeded m buying it and it will ar rive in Augusa in d few days. More than Q century has elapsed since it first began to tick. The designs were drawn in England and it was manu- factured in the mother country. It is nine feet in height and the material is mahogany. It sets on lions feet The works are brass. On the dial are oil paintings of George Washington. the famous cherry tree which he cut. the chapel where he attended divine wor- ship and the Potomac river. The case is inlaid in brass w.shbone work. At the top is a brass ball with a rosette on each side and a Queen Anne head It is an eight-day clock.

"I can always find one" replied the astute Manager. They are born at the rate of one a Minute and they never get next until it is too late. Do not desert me in this Crisis. If you stick, I think I may be able to find some Work for you to do.''
 1t befell that the Village in which they were shell-rOaded had advertised a Balloon Ascension for Independence Day. The Natives rejoiced in the Fact that the Colonies had thrown off the Yoke of British Tyranny and Oppres- sion and in order to give evidence of their belated Joy they were going tO watch the man go up in the Balloon.
 When the Natal Day of our glorious Liberty dawned on the Tap Settlements and the Local Population began to coagulate along Main Street, it was discovered that the daring Aeronaut had been taken with Cold Feet and re- fused to go up.
 The Committee was in despair. Now comes the Part showing the Value of Manager. The Brains the Concern went to the Committee and agreed to send his Partner up in the Balloon in consideration of 100 Plunks to him in the Hand paid. Then he sought out the Patsy end of the Sketch and broke the Good News to him.

 ''I can see that I am lucky to get Half" said the Mark. Slip me the Fifty and l will take a Chance. 1 need the Money"
 II shall hold the Money until you come back said the Manager. T should prefer not to give it to you now. If anything happens, it will not be of any Use to you and might fall into the Hands of Irresponsible Strangers. It is the duty of every good Manager to protect the Financial Interests of those associated with him."
 "But when 1 am up there, lodging Clouds, how am l going to keep Tab on you down here?" asked the Mark.
 Don't worry" was the Reply. If you come out alive today, I'm going to send you up again. In fact, I think l shall keep sending you up until some thing happens As long as you are good for the Coin. I'll never quit you"

The broker had failed .n an exceedingly shady fashion. and Mir. Morgan had been let in" for something like $4O,O0O. But the broker continued to bow to his victim as though nothing of the kind had occurred. One morning the mill lionairc said to him in his very sternest tones: See here, Mir. Soandso. you owe me $40 900. and you're able to pay, but I'll let you off if you will cease to recognize me when we meet" Why, my dear MT.
