THE TELLER WITH GRIT.

There's always q chance in the world,
my son, fer the Teller with snap an
go!
But the Teller who signs an who never
tries don't stand a ghost of a show.
The path TO success is rugged an rough;
there's obstacles strewn in the way,
An a Teller can look fer some good hard
knocks an rouble from day to day.
You'll never win out if you loiter behind
an stroll at a careless pace,
Fer the chap that straddles the boss
called Ease dom come in ahead in
the race.
This proverb ripe put into your pipe, an
let it through life apply:
tits the Teller with grit who is bound to
git the biggest plum in the pie"
You can sit back in these hustlin' days,
expectin' to reach the top.
There amt no show I would have you
know fer the Teller who likes to stop
.an' Gnger along in LuXury's lap to be
coddled an nursed an fed,
Fer while he's a-gittin' sweet sympathy
The other chap sails ahead.
There's never a job too hard fer the man
who tackles right in with vim,
Ar let's folks know there's nothin' slow
er lazy that's ailin' him!
It's a honely tale, but twill never fail
if you only have nerve to try
cts the Teller with grit who is bound to
git the biggest plum in the pie"
OF course you'll butt into some hard
rocks while sailin' along through
life;
Some folks won't agree with you an me,
you've got to expect some strife.
You've got to fight some battles severe,
but stay with the foe to the end,
Fer the man with sand is bound to COM
mand the respect of the world, my
friend.
Keep diggin' away with a heart Of cheer;
Heterogeneous cast aside.
Success hard won is work we'll done to
the Teller who knows he's tried.
Some day you'll creep to the top of the
heap, an all of YOU foes defy
"It's the Teller with grit who is bound to
git the biggest plum in the pie"

Reflections of a Bachelor.

There is no way of getting out of a
love affair that succeeds like not get
ting in.
The way to praise anything a wo-
man wears is to tell her how pretty
she looks in it.
The fun that a woman gets out of
an argument is the chance to cry,
and a man to get mad.
When d woman confesses her age
she thinks to let you know how much
younger she is than her younger SIS
ter.
A woman can stand being kissed
against her will all right, but it
makes her very indignant if you don't
pretend t. use force.-N. Y. Press.

watch, a pair of sleeve buttons, a
diamond pin and a knife. The clerk
who took in these articles remem-
bered that they had been brought in
by a seedy looking young man named
Abraham Jowatt about six o'clock on
the day the murder was committed.
The clerk was just getting ready to
close up shop when Jowatt came in,
and the transaction was therefore
the closing time. The description
given by the clerk TALES with young
Wright's appearance, and the giving
in of a fictitious name aroused my
suspicious. A visit to Neckar's pawn
shop revealed the fact that under
like mysterious circumstances Wright
had pawned another watch under the
name of Jowatt, and it was done
shortly after six o'clock. I obtained
from the pawnbrokers the various ar.
ticles and turned them over to the
chief"
The witness then identified the ar
ticles already offered in evidence as
those which he had obtained from
the pawnbrokers.
Neckar and the clerk from Rosen-
that's were then introduced, and they
identified Wright as the young man
who under the name of Jowatt had
pawned the watches and other arti-
cles.
The testimony was completed with
the evidence of the sheriff and the
chief of police. The material point
in their testimony was that they,
with the permission of Mrs. Wright,
and in her presence, had gone
through all the private papers of her.
husband and had found no will. The
significance of this fact was, of
course, brought to the attention of
the jury by the coroner, who stated
that in the absence of a will Mr..
Wright's property would be divided
without prejudice between his chill
dren, and consequently Herbert
Wright was a direct beneficiary by his
fathers death.
The testimony given by the off,
GERS produced a profound impression
not only on the jury, but on the
crowd assembled there. Even Warde,
who. had been inclined to entertain
a belief in Wright's innocence, was
staggered for a moment. 1t wa not
an easy matter to conceive an ex-
planations Of the damning facts that
had been brought to light. AS for
Herbert Wright himself, he seemed
to be dazed by the chain of circum-
stantial evidence which had been
wrought around him. His face was
a strong psychological study, and
upon it a growing horror depitred it.
self. Was it the despair of innocence
surrounded by a network of appar-
emily unanswerable accusations?
Every bit Of testimony seemed to en-
body a charge. Or was it the stuyor
of guilt detected that appeared in his
face?
The coroner's jury made no at
tempt to construct any theory of in
nocence, but brought in a verdict
that the deceased had come to his
death from blows and wounds in
ficted by his son.

CHAPTER V.-CoNTINUED,

There was a p~erceptible stiffness
in the assemblage when the next wit
ness, Herbert Wright, was called, and
all heads turned to look at him as he
made his way to the witness stand.
He was not nervous, though he was
the very picture of forlornness. He
appeared to take only a vacant inter.
est in the investigation, and was
either careless or obliyious of his own
danger. At the moment he took his
seat every mind there was revolving
the probability of his having been the
guilty cause of the present tragedy,
With a rather bored air he waited
the coroner's questions. After giving
his age, name and other formal in
formation, such as is required on oc-
tesions of this kind, he was asked the
following question:
You and your father were not on
the best of terms, were you?"

What was the cause of your fall

"Why did he object to your mar
riage?"

what my fathers objection to my
marriage has to do with his murder
1T may have a great deal to do
with it," said the coroner, significant.
~.
"Oh, I see," said Wright, with cool
sarcasm. "You think that perhaps
this may furnish a clew to connect me
with his death. Very well. If the
troubles that have overtaken me and
mine will satisfy your curiosity and
entertain this crowd, why [ am ready
to narrate them. Ask me what YOU
will"
Il will repeat my former question:
said the coroner. "NNhy did your
'ather oppose your marriage?"
His objection was to my wife,"

Not that I know Of"
His objection was a personal one? o.
Hardly that. For she was beauti

objection to her could have been

difficulty with his overseer, Jefferson
Baxter, and killed him. 1t was a yer,

MOCK WAR.
An Enemy'S Fleet Will Attack
Portland, Me.

Portland, Me. Aug. 21.-The theo-
retical fleet sailed today to attack
Portland, and secret service agents
have notified the United States govern
ment of the fact In this way began
the mimic war in which detachments of
the army and the combined fleet of
the North Atlantic squadron are to
take part during the next ten days. The
fleet which is supposed to be sailing
toward Portland, really is at anchor off
Rockland, where it will remain for two
days, which would be consumed if
it was actually approaching from the
tropics. Then the vessels will appear in
this harbor and commence operations.
In the meantime, prompted by the inn
agfnary receipt this forenoon of news
of the advance of the enemy'S ships,
the army of defense will assemble and
prepare itself for the protection of the
harbor and the city. The local batteries
being the first naturally to hear the
news of the threatening danger, re-
sponded promptly and by noon all the
companies had gone into camp and
taken up active duties. The First and
Second regiments, which constitute the
entire state militia started as soon as
notified for Portland and they were
in camp in good season. Before Sunday
night additional forces from Massachu-
setts, Rhode Island and New York will
be here ready to assist in preventing
the operations of the enemy from be-
ing successful.
Major General Chaffee is to command
the land forces. The enemy will be
under Rear Admiral Barker.

about the fragments of the letter found
under her window by the city detectives.
OF that she professed entire ignorance. 1t
was coincidence, she said. that she
should have been asked by both women
Mrs. Esther Brooke. who was at her
rooms that day, had accommodatingly
undertaken to discharge the commission
for her after Mrs Cooks little girl had
failed in it. She says each woman wrote
the order for her own mail. The statement
of the police is that the handwriting OF
the two orders are very similar and that
both look like Mrs Cook handwriting
as found on other pieces of paper.
The Cooks are living in single room
in the upstairs of the building occupied
by the Fitzgerald and Lannan grocery, at
$40 East Fourth street. Mrs. Cook said
her family was occupying its present
quarters for but a few days, having al
most completed arrangements to move 10

at 225 Adams street Since her arrest she
says her family will remain IN Topeka un-
til the difficulty is settled and viii live In
North Topeka.
Although there appears to be no
doubt about her identity nor of the
fact that she had been engaged in
fraudulent enterprise Mrs. Cook still as
serts her innocence and will not admit
that she had anything to do with the
letter found on the ground beneath the
window of her rooms Comparisons of
specimens of her hand writing with that
of the letters received by Marrs affirm
her identity. The handwriting is poor

round in doubles in the middle west
lawn tennis tournament began at 10
o'clock with Sanderson and Holland of
Galesburg, Ill. matched against Fred
and Frank Eberhardt, of Salina, Kan.
Sanderson is the present holder of the
championship in singles. and Holland
has made good showing here. The
gallery was a large one, and followed
the play closely.
Holland and Sanderson played a most
careful game, winning out with three
out of four sets. The team work of
both pairs was superb, but the Eber-
hardts were unfortunate in having the
wind and dust in their faces. Holland
and Sanderson repeatedly made good
passes at the net and took few chances.

SIX MEN IN A BOAT.
Held at Turks Island Under
Suspicion of Filibustering.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-The Tribune says:
Six men who sailed away from Chicago
a year ago in search of a gold mine in
the Wilds of Patagonia are now under
arrest at Turks island, in the West
Indies, suspected of filibustering. Their
arrest and the detention of their
schooner, Mercury, has been laid be-
fore the secretary of state
Chas. Corrigan. Texas cowboy,
came to Chicago last fall, watched lake
sailors for a month. and then took five
men into his confidence. Corrigan said
he had a man showing the location of
a gold mine rivaling that of King Solo
mon His story was that its discoverer
had been driven out by natives, and
when he died on a ranch he gave the
drawings to Corrigan.
The Mercury sailed for New Orleans
in October. 1t was to cross the Gulf of
Mexico and cruise along the coast of
South America to Patagonia. Charles
Hardin was the master and owner, ac-
cording to the ships papers, and Emil
Won Boroucke was first mate.
When the Mercury crept into the
harbor at Turks island the American
and Bitish consuls discovered many
suspicious circumstances. The schooner
had papers from Chicago, but could not
account for the time which had elapsed
since they had been taken out. Hardin
was no longer master. The vessel was
held until the business of its owners
could be investigated.

GUN BROKE LOOSE
HOtchkiss of 1,SOO Pounds
Threatens Destruction
To the Revenue Cutter Gresham
on Patrol Duty.
FROM SIDE TO SIDE
The Big Shooting Iron Rolled
With Every Wave.
Was Finally Made Fast by Crew
at Great Risk.

New York, Aug. 21-With a big
Hotchkiss gun plunging from side to
side and threatening to tear off her
plates with every lunge, there was
quite bit of excitement on the revenue
cutter Gresham while she was on pa
troll duty for the yacht race. But for
the bravery of the gunner and MEM
bers of the crew of the cutter, the re-
suit might have been disastrous.
The gun weighed 1900 pounds, and
was in transport, not constituting part
of the armament of the Gresham, but
intended for one of the other ocean
going revenue cutters. 1t had been
dropped on the lower deck, and appar-
entity nobody thought it worth while to
lash it securely.
The Gresham. which was the flagship
for the course patrol, was lying near
the outer mark, where a heavy swell
was running. At times she rolled so
heavily that her rail almost went un-
der water. 1t was amid this rolling
persons on board heard the crashing
down below and felt the tremors pass
ing through the cutter as the gun
struck her heavy iron sides.
THAT Hotchkiss gun has broken loose
down below. and the captain says if
you don't want holes stove in the sides
OF the cutter you'd better get your men
down there and tie it up."
This was the startling message poured
into the ear of the gunner excitedly by
one of the crew.
The gunner made for the companion
way. AS he ran he called to his assist
ance several of the crew telling them
to bring lines. With every roll of the
cutter the big gun went crashing to port
or starboard, following the listing of the
boat and threatening with death any
body who got in it's path. The rolls were
so close together that the men fwere
kept busy lodging. Many times they
risked their lives in trying to fasten the
line, and encouraged by the brave ex-
amples set by the gunner, they persist
ed, until finally they had the gun under
control and tied so securely it could do
no more HARM The hands of two men
were injured slightly in the struggle.
Talk about the man behind the gun.
said the leader, why, my men were be-
hind it, in front of it. on both sides of
it and at times on top of it. on several
occasions, when the Internal thing was
plunging and there was a rush to get
clear, it was case of the gun behind
the man. rather than one of the men
! behind the gun"
