nocfors and Patients.

DR.. Cheyne, the great eighteenth cen
fury physician of Bath, was a witty
enough man, but he found more than a
match in Beau Nash, who was one of
his patients. Calling one day after he
had prescribed for Nash, Cheyne asked
him, "Well, have you followed my pre-
scription?" NO faith doctor, haven't
followed it." the dandy answered

Making Sure of the Architect

NOrman-Al-AOUar, an Arabian king
who reigned long, long ago at Hirah,
commanded the architect Sennemar to
build him wondrOus palace. This
the architect did, and when it was
done a single stone fastened the whole
structure, and the colors of the walls
changed frequently during the day.
The king was greatly pleased and
showered all kinds of rich gifts upon
the builder with the lavishness of ORR
entail kings. But monarchs were
treacherous in those old days, and it
occurred to the king that Sennemar
might build a palace equal in beauty
or even superior for some rival ruler.
The more he thought over it the
more jealous he became until one day
he ordered the architect to be thrown
from the top of the palace to make
certain that no duplicate palace would
be made. After this the king was sat
isfied that his palace was the only one,
and the Arabians regarded it as one
of the wonders of the world

DlCKY D0NNELLY'S
REDEMPTION
By WILLIAM n. OSBORNE
Copyright, 1909, by T. C. Mcclure

Dicky Donnelly was all right-liter-
ally all right. He didn't smoke, chew,
drink or swear. There was just one
thing the matter with Dicky. He was
starving, that's all. The failure of his
two bosses had swept out upon the
streets some hundred and fifty employ
ees, and Dicky was one of them. What
became of the others he did not know,
and he didn't care just at present. He
was too much taken up with his own
affairs. From his perusal of the first
advertisement, six weeks ago, that
read, WANTED = Bright, clean, intelli-
gent young men," ETC., up to the pres
ent time Dicky had been working as
he had never worked, simply to find
work. And now he had just Is cents
left.
AS last resort he tried the Industrial
homes and the missions for men. He
was sure he could get a job of some
kind there. But they turned him
away.
your they exclaimed. "Why, you
oughtn't to have any trouble to get
a job, a fellow that looks like you. It's
not your kind that we cater to. It's
the deadbeats. If we took your kind
in, the others would be frozen out. We
only give jobs to men that can't get
jobs-that's all. We can't do anything
for you"
Now, that isn't exactly what they
said, but that is what they meant. And
Dicky could see that it was true. Bum
after bum staggered into the places
and was received with open arms. But
Dicky's kind they turned away.
'I'll tell you, though" said the man
in charge, eve have free meetings
here every evening. If you've no place
to go to, you are at liberty to come
here, you know" He handed over a
small sheet of paper, still damp from
the press. Dicky looked at it. 1t was
as follows:

killing q Spaniard.

Early in the sixteenth century the
natives of Porto Rico plotted to kill
the Spaniards on the island. There was
much doubt, however, as to whether or
not it was possible to kill Spaniard.
Many Of the natives insisted that it
was not Finally it was decided to
make an experiment. A young Span
lard who was passing through an In
dian village was Hospitality received
and fed and then q number of natives
accompanied him on his journey. When
he arrived at a river his companions
offered to carry him across. The young
man accepted and was taken up by
two men and carried into the water
on their shoulders. Arriving near the
middle Of the river, they threw him
in and held him down until he ceased
to struggle Then they carried him
ashore with profuse apologies, loudly
proclaiming that they stumbled by ac-
cident and calling upon him to arise
and continue his journey. But the
young man did not move and finally
the natives were. convinced that he
was actually dead. Having secured
the proof they wanted, the leaders Of
the rebellion at once began general
attack upon the Spaniards.

That's right, sir" exclaimed Dicky,
turning to the banker. Its you has

to work an lead new life, sir, if you'll
only help me to-"
'I'll help you my boy returned the
banker fervently. "I'll help you to help
yourself"
The banker wiped his eyes. Sobs
were heard all over the place. A man
at a desk hurriedly wrote out pledge,
and Dicky stepped up and signed it.
And because he did many others fol-
lowed his example.
And at the close of the meeting as
Dicky and the banker strobe down the
aisle and out the door the congrega
ton broke out into a parting hymn Of
praise.
Some years later two men sat in a
fashionable restaurant uptown. They
were respectively the cashier and the
receiving teller of the private banking
house of Willoughby G. Schenck & Co.
The receiving teller was clean look
ing young fellow of pleasing appear
ance. His name was Richard Donnelly.
Snow, Dicky," began the cashier.
''first of all, what are you going to
have to drink!
Dicky shook his head. Il never
drink" he replied, ''as you know. The
fact isl he continued, Il never drank
but once in my life, and that was be-
cause it was a business necessity"
"a business necessity inquired the
cashier, with surprise.
Dicky nodded. ga business necessi-
ty," he repeated. Gin fact, did it just
to get job, that's all"
'What you givin' us?" replied the
other. ''What job was it, anyway, that
you drank to get?"
Dicky laughed. 'It was a job" he
replied, Sin the banking house OF Will
loughby G. Schenck & Go. And hope
I will never have to get another ia the
same way. But at that time it was the
only thing to do"
'BottIe of apollinaris, waiter" said
the cashier.

Dicky crumpled it up in his hard and
was about to throw it away. But ne
didn't. He opened it again and read it
carefully through to the end. Then he
stepped out upon the sidewalk and
glanced up and down the street. On
the farther corner was a brilliantly
lighted saloon-a cheap sort of place.
Dicky took out his 10 cents and start
ed for that corner.
He stepped up boldly to the bar. 'I-
I want to get drunk" he said to the
bartender.
"Well," replied the bartender with a
erin, there's nOthin' to bender you if
you got the price. What d'you want?"
"What-whats the best thing to get
drunk on?" inquired Dicky in hest
tating sort of way.
"Well," replied the bartender, uncer-
tain whether Dicky was cha fling him or
otherwise, 1--WE sell some OF the great
est forty rod stuff you ever tasted for
cents. I'll warrant three big glasses
Ill make your hair stand on end all
right"
Gimme three glasses, them" said
Dicky.
"Three glassesr' exclaimed the bar
tender. ''What, all tOgether?
"Well," returned Dicky uncertainty,
"any way that-that's best, you know"
1t was half past s. The mems res
cue meeting was in full blast. It was
the grandest rally of the year.
Willoughby G.. Schenck, the banker,
philanthropist and mission worker,
harangued the crowd, and he knew
how. There was no doubt about his
ability in that respect. He himself
had worked up out of the slums, and he
knew He had a large audience and
queer one, but he made an impression.
Hardened old sinners who hadn't
thought of home and their boyhood
days for years sat with the tears run
ming down their faces. Toughs whose
faces never showed one sOftening line
sat with bowed heads and Quivering
lips. He was only fairly launched when
young man in a beastly state of in
| toXication entered the room. This
young man glanced wildly around up
/
lurched heavily up the aisle and sank
| into a front seat.
1t was Dicky Donnelly, drunk. The
forty rod had taken effect. Dicky felt
| himself that it had gone to his head
| lust a little Drunk as he was, though,
he sat up straight but swaying from
side to side, and tried to listen. The
six or eight bankers whom he saw
finally dwindled down to one, and this
one, who had seen Dicky enter and
seat himself, poured forth his whole
soul not upon the old men, not upon
the toughs, but upon Dicky. In Dicky
Donnelly he saw himself as he once
might have been.
Ordinarily Dicky, who was a good
church member, in good standing
would have been unaffected, but now
the bankers words of gentleness and
sympathy and sorrow so mingled
themselves with the fumes in Dicky's
brain that Dicky felt them very, very
much, and his tears began to fall, or at
least they seemed to do so.
And when the banker had ceased
Dicky staggered to his feet and looked
once more around upon the crowd.
Gents he said in a husky voice, Il
don't know as there's a bigger bum in
this here room than me. l don't know
as there's a man here as has gone the
pace 90 1 has myself. Gents, look at

A Question of PluraIs.

Though many grammars give lists
of words having irregular formation
Of plurals, the many kinds Of fish, or
fishes, with arbitrarily formed plurals,
are omitted. The need for such a list
is shown by quoting a few examples.
For instance, people speak of behring's,
but never of Writings. Every one
writes soles, sprats, humphreys, an
chovies, the singular form rarely, if
ever, doing for the plural but no one
would write mackerels, Gods, salmons
or trouts. On the other hand, consid-
cradle uncertainty exists concerning
the form of the plural of other kinds.
Who shall decide which is correct,

fact that he does as much physical
work each day as he feels able to do.
While in a financial way entirely indie

good it does him. Thus we find work

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

Political Correspondent.
Judge Parker's democratic presi-
Dental boom is staggering under the
hoodoo Of Senator Carmack's ad-
vocacy.
That distinguished deformer and
word cobbler, Devery of New York
city, is expected to make a Fourth
of July address that will probably
fail to appear in the school books of
oratory of the better time coming.
Perry Heath was in the post
Office department before Roosevelt
was elected vice president and
Judge Tyner was placed at the
head of the Postofice Department
by Grant. But the New York
World is blaming Roosevelt for
what they have done. We will give
the World another scoop. Hist! The
Star Route Scandals.
The greatest sorrow the democracy
now cOnfronts is the fact that the
democratic statesmen will fight at
the drop of the hat, regardless of
the Importance or non-importance
of the occasion, while the repub-
lean statesmen refuse to quarrel
even when their opinions diametric-
ally differ.
Now let us have penny postage
such as effete monarchies, with not
one-half our facilities, have long en-
joyed. With thieves dismissed from
the postoffice department and fake
publications excluded from the
pound rate privileges, sealed letters
at one cent each are probable.
Dr. Santos Fernandez of Cuba
announces that mosquitoes bite
human beings because they cannot
produce eggs without the warm
blood of some hot blooded animal.
That is easy. Keep out of the way
of the mosquitoes and they cannot
lay and soon they there will be no
mosquitoes to bite.
The latest trick of the shrewish
wife is to ask her late returning
husband to pronounce the names Of
a few members of the Servian no
bility.
President Roosevelt and Senator
Hanna persistently refuse to fall
out. That is cruelty to-democratic
editors.
With such a man as Bristow for
postmaster general, how the poll
ticians would tremble-and how the
people would shout for Roosevelt.
The latest report is that the Iowa
idea is not merely embalmed,
we suppose.
Mr.. Hanna says he will not accept
the second place on the presidential
ticket. Perhaps not, but then, Mr..
Roosevelt said the same thing at the
hi1adn1Dbia convention ond cai1 II
as if he meant it, too.
Reports from the various COVER
nors of the PHILIPPINE provinces

condition in the archipelago, to the

There are many indications that
