ton followed, and the man died out.
then lay down in corner, where his
companions left him.
1t was late at night, almost midnight,
when the landlords wife came into the
bar-room to see what kept her husband
up and quickly saw Tom.
Peter" said she, not in a pleasant
mood, why don't you send that miser-
able Tom Darcy home? He's been
hanging around here long enough"
Toms stupefaction was not sound
sleep. The dead coma had left the
brain, and the calling of his name stung
his senses to keen attention. He had
an insane love for rum, but did not love
the landlord. In other years Peter
Tindar and himself had loved and wooed
the sweet maiden-Ellen Goss-and he
won her, leaving Peter to take up with
the v1negary spinsteF who had brought
him the tavern, and he knew that lately
the tapster had gloated over the misery
of the woman who had once disregarded
him.
why don't you send him home?" de-
manded Mrs. Tindar, with an impatient
stamp of the foot.
Hush, Betsy! He's got money Let
him be, and he'll be sure to spend it be-
fore he goes home. III have the ker-
mel of the nut, and his wife may have
the huski"
With sniff and snap Betsy turned
away, and shortly afterward Tom OAR
cey lifted himself upon his elbow.
'Ah Tom, are you awaken"
eyes"
Then rouse up and have a warm
glass"
Tom got upon his feet and steadied
himself
mo, Peter, 1 won't drink any more
tonight"
ut won't hurt you, Tom-just a
glass"
81 know it won't" said Tom, button
ing up his coat by the only solitary
button left. Il know it won't"
And with this he went out into the
chill air of the night. When he got
away from the shadow of the tavern he
stopped and looked up at the stars, and
then he looked down upon the earth.
"Ay," he muttered, grinding his heel
in the gravel. Peter Tindar is taking
the kernel and leaving poor Ellen the
husk, and l am helping him to do it.
l am robbing my wife of joy, robbing
my children of honor and comfort, rob-
bling myself of love and life-iuSt that
Peter Tindar may have the kernel and
Ellen the husk! Well see."
1t was revelation to the man. The
savern keepers brief speech, meant not
for his ears, had come upon his senses
as fell the voice of the Risen One upon
SSul of Tarsus.

foot firmly upon the ground, and then
he wendell his way homeward.

ENERGY AND ABILITY.
To These Two Qualities Howard FL

Howard Elliott, who has been second

THE BABY HIPPOPOTAMUS.
Fatal Error of Men Attendants in
Caring for One in the New
York Zoo.

A baby had appeared in the tank over
night 1t did not weigh quite 40 pounds,
was ten inches high from the soles of the
fat waddle-feet to the plump back, and
measured "a inches from the tip of the
tiny pigs tail to the top Of the homely,
wide, cushioned nav A calamitously
homely little beast it was. Its eyes bulged
and were set far apart, and its face was
all bumps and Jumps. In every detail the
young hippo was miniature model of
Calf or Miss Murphy, all except its pink
color, for only its back was slate gray.
says writer in McClure's Magazine.
Atlarge, in the sword grass of the mud
dy Nile, the COW would have taken her
calf to some secluded spot to start it well
on its career. But among anxious, ex-
pertmenting scientists she was power
less. When the baby was few days old
it occurred to some of the experts that
the mother was not doinS her duty, the
wonder was, they said, that the little
one had lived so long without nursing.
and it wes decided to take it from the
mother and to raise 1t on bottle. None
had realized that the hippopotamus really
is more Of a water than a land animal.
and that when hippopotamus calf has
its dinner, it takes deep, deep breath,
closes its little wag ears, pinches its
uostrils shut, and dives under its mother,
where it nourishes like a kid or lamb.
So, in an unguarded moment the baby
was caught, and, squealing and kicking,
was carried TO the hospital ward of the
menagerie, where it was fed from bot
tie. Within ten days the baby died-a
martyr to science Within year, how
ever, second baby appeared, and this
time the experts decided to let the mother
have trial at the game

"THE PLAGUE OF WOMEN"
A Disease with which Britain's War
OfHcc Has for Long Time
Been Infected.

THE plague of women, complained of
by Mr.. (now Sir Frederick) Treves in the
course of the late war in South Africa
seems not to have been confined to the
Cape Colony. If we are to believe the
word OF certain apologists, says the New
York Sun, who have arisen to the de-
tense of the British government since
the publication of the facts brought to
light by the commission appointed to
inquire into the conduct of the late cam
paign, the disease is and has long been
endemic in and about the war office.
These worthless, with perfect candor
have pointed it out as a sort of excuse,
or at least excavation, of the general
lassitude, apathy and apparent lack Of
judgment displayed by those in power.
They show that where necessary bust
ness was overlooked. and where men of
small attachments were put in RESPONSE
lie places, it was not always the fault
OF the great men in authority, but rather
of the great ladies who advised the
great men.
1t must be matter of satisfaction to
Englishmen to know that all the re-
cent talk about the degeneracy of the
race, the deterioration of the national
physique and the rest of the dismal dis
cOveries of the pessimists is pure nom
sense. 1t is evident now that the bung
ling and incompetence so largely eXhib-
tied during the late war cannot be at
4,.;b t.
reason to suppose that England could
not produce the right men in time of
need, and if the right man does not
always happen to be in the right place
at the right moment, his absence, as the
candid apolOgists point out, is often due
to an amiable weakness on the part
of his superiors, a Iaudable ambition to
be on good terms with the great ladies
and great lords who have equally laud-
able ambitions in regard to their grow
ing sons and heirs.
This admirable fidelity to the grand
old English system of aristocracy ap-
pears to spread from the bottom to the
top of the war office; the commander in
chief himself is true to the tradition
Maj. Gen. BrabaZon, a rougher type,
with little respect for the value of titles
in the presence of the enemy spoke as
follows in his testimony before the COM
mission: 81 was furious at the idea
of officers going home before the war
was over for private affairs. | forbade
them. | refused them leave, but then
they went to Lord Roberts, and if they
had any family interest they got their
leave" Lord Kitchener's point of view
was more nearly like Gen Brabazons
When an anxious and influential parent
telegraphed to him: My son is urgent
ly wanted at home; please let him come"
Kitchener replied: Your son is more
urgently needed here: he cannot come"
There are some in England who share
this attitude, regarding the business Of a
soldier as something more serious than
a popular diversion of the aristocracy.
But British traditions are persistent, and
1t may be some time before the war Of
flee can bring itself, in time of bust
ness, to forget distinctions and return
to the simple social equality that pre-
vailed when Adam delyed and Eve span.

ONLY A HUSK.
That's What the Wife Got and the
Saloon Man Got the
Kernel.

Tom Darcy, yet young man, had
grown to be a very bad one. At heart
he might have been all right, if his head
and his will had only been all right;
but these being wrong, the whole ma
chine was going to the bad very fast,
though there were times when the heart
felt something of it's old truthful yearn-
ings. Tom had lost his place as fore
man in the great machine shop, and
what money he had now earned came
from odd jobs of tinkering which he
was able to do, here and there, at pri-
waite houses, for Tom was a genius as
well as a mechanic, and when his head
was steady enough he could mend
clock or clean a watch, as well as he
could set up and regulate a steam en-
gine-and this latter he could do better
than any other man employed by the
Scott Falls Manufacturing company.
One day Tom had a job to mend a
broken moving machine and reaper, for
which he had received five dollars, and
on the following morning he started out
for his old haunt, the village tavern.
He knew his wife sadly needed the
money, and that his two children were
in absolute suffering from want of
clothing, and that morning he held
debate with the better part Of himself,
but the better part had become very
weak and shaky, and the demon of appe-
tite carried the day.
So away to the tavern Tom went. For
two or three hours he felt the exhil-
arating effects of the alcoholic draught,
and fancied himself happy, as he could
sing and laugh; but, as usual, stupefac-
