CASHIER TOOK s7o,ooo.
After Forcing Big Bonus from Bank Directors. Gives Up the Balance.

1AILeT EOTClng Dig bOnuS IFOu bduk
 Directors, Gives Up the Balance.
 While the board of directors of the Mayence Peoples bank at Berlin was in session few days ago the cashier Hermann, who had been with the bank for twenty-seven years, entered the room and - them that he had taken $7O,00O c the banks funds. The amazed directors, when they Were really convinced that this was true and that the old empleye had not suddenly gone mad, asked him why he had robbed the bank, Hermann replied: This is my revenge for not having been elected a director in 190O5 as was promised. I had been preparing for this stroke for three years" The cashier added that he was willing to go to the penitentiary for life, as he had "got even by inf1icting life bangs on the directors and stockholders by taking the money.
 The banks officers begged. him to restore the money and retain their es- teem. Hermann slowly yielded, so far as to say that if they would give him $6,250 down and life pension of $900 a year he would return the stolen money. It was daylight when the di- rectors promised to give the cashier $6,250 and a pension. Hermann then went to the outer office, brought in $70000, counted out $63.7hn and put $6,250 in his pocket. The directors said this was not fair. that he must re- turn all the money and that then lie would receive the $6,25O promised him. Hermann, however, refused, and the bank has now brought legal proceed ings to recover the $6,25O.

IS HELL BEING NEGLECTED?

blsnop Huntington of central New York feels that hell is being unduly neglected by the clergy. In mid Lenten sermon in Syracuse on March zl he expressed his conviction that there was place for hell, and that if was there. and tha+ selI-indulgent per sons whose habits and conduct were not good would some day have a pain- ful personal experience of it. Hell has at times been much overdone. It has Deen described as hotter and more con- Tlnuous than the human imagination can endure, and overmuch freedom has been used in forecasting it's population. No hell that contains unbaptizef in- fants or persons who died casually and un1ntentionally unregenerate will wash in these times. An eternity of hell as consequence of misconduct of limited continuance also seems to modern minds an improbable dispensation. But the idea that evil-doers who man. age to avoid punishment in this life are going to get off altogether does not commend itself to the average observ- CTS sense of fitness. Almost everyone believes In God, and every intelligent believer in Ged must believe in eternal justice. Somewhere, somehow, the odds come even. and all crops are har- vested. Without hell, or it's equiva- lent, we average observers cannot see how final justice is going to be done
 A good deal of the time the way of the transgressor is hard Ill this life but some transgressors play their game so ably as to elude all obvious penalties, and make a show of having a good time as long as they live. The religious mind is confident that there must be appliances somewhere for getting even with these persons.-Harper's Weekly.

WORK VERSUS INCOME.

Those Enghshmen who imagine and assert that in the United States the dol lar is almighty overlook the profound respect, amounting at times almost to reverence. with which Americans re- gard men like Ralph Waldo Emerson, who believe in plain living and high thinking. Emerson has many deciples in public as we'll as in private life, and the position which they occupy in the esteem and confidence of their fellow citizens is one unapproached by any of our multi -millionaries. A few years ago the annual income of one member of the federal senate was reputet1 to exceed $14.00O,000 from one source alone. So far as we know, that gentle mans voice has never ben Jh card but twice in the senate chamber, and were he to speak oftener he would be listen- ed to with more surprise than respect. On the other hand, there is no senAgor who deserves and commands so Tilch attention when he rises to discuss a public question as does the Hon George F Hoar of Massachusetts: indeed. we do not hesitata to say that. since the death of Daniel Webster. there has never been a senator whose utterances bear so we'll the searching test of type. Yet this man. who for quarter of a cent ury has worthily represented the com monwealth of Massachusetts in the up per house of the federal legislature. has never known what it is to possess so modest an income even as $20O0 year, outside of his salary. Up to twelve month ago. he had been unable to rent even a humble dwelling. but had lived in boarding houses. some to1erable, some intolerable during the whole of his useful and honorable career in
 Washington. Has the fact impaired bis social dignity or his political weight? We reply, not an iota, That is truth we'll known to men who have lived in the federal capital, and lit is a truth as creditable to the Amer ican people as it is to Senator Hoar himself. lf.-Harper' Weekly.

Dear Strive suspect you'd like the
tale, how woman beat two hardware
dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men
TO sell Devoe lead-and- zinc i'm that
bright town; and failed. Reluctantly
took Mrs. T. r.. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than S1.25 n gallon. Mrs. Bow
man can. She has sold about all the
paint, that has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our
artists materials. Had some sense and
force, besides; she easily learned that
cheap is dear in paine, and told the
people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought a gall on
Devoe for rooms that always taken a
gallon OF other paint; had half left.
Mr.. f. II. Hiler, ieweler, painted De
voc, and says it goes turther-no par
ticulars.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly half OF his paint, and said
1t was the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal
satisfaction. So much for a cheap
paint town with bright woman in it.

Chicago, January 6.-Selling of May wheat by St. Louis has been the feature of todays market. There was a fair amount of activity but the market show ed neither decided strength or weakness, moving within a narrow range and well supported by local people on all dips.
 News was not so bearish as yesterday; indications of break if present favor able weather continues. Armour was moderate trader on both sides of mar ket Some late buying cash wheat caus- ed the market to gain strength. Sentiment in corn today leaned toward the bull side. While trade was on q moderate scale only there was a fair demand and but little selling pressure at any time. Local crowd as a rule. were on the buying side with commission houses and a few scalp CTS inclined to sell Some of the strength was due to higher cables and good cash demand. There was a steady market in oats, with heavy selling on part of buy CTS. but the demand always sufficed to check the decline. May acted well around B cents; local sentiment continues bull ish. trade was fairly large, everything being considered. Cash demand is good. There was a big bulge in provisions early in the day, but all advances did not hold. Some outside liquidation caused partial loss of gains, but the market remained strong. Early buying was on the part of local people with the pit traders selling. Commission houses did little on either side. Hogs were strong and higher.
