his sanctum for his home In Brooklyn

Thomas W. Fishers disappearance
more than ten years ago attracted a
great deal of interest. He was a real

was his usual custom, he one evening
went to Baltimore to visit the vouno

couple became involved In a dispute
over a trivial matter, and the vounp
woman declared their engagement of
Mr.. Fisher left the house, and. after
wandering about the streets for come
time, left Baltimore for New York
He at once wrote to his former fancee
apologizing for his rude conduct and
begging her forgiveness, but she was
bent upon Furnishing him and did not
reply to his letter. Fisher then left
New York and went to Albany, from
which place he wrote again to the
young woman, saying that he would
not burden her again with his neti-
lions, and that he intended to commit
suicide. The young woman then re-
piled to his letter and asked his for
giveness, but the letter was returned
with the stamp upon it, Not found !"
and nothing has been heard from the
young man since that day.-New York

MANILA SETTLEMENT HOUSE.

One Already Established and Appeals
to American Women.
A settlement house has already been
established at Manila, and the women
at the head of it have issued a strong
appeal to the American women in the
Philippines to lend their influence and
personal endeavor to establish frater-
nal relations with the natives, and to
aid In uplifting them from their state
Of Incidence and ignorance. The appeal
reads in part:
"Our Settlement House in Manila
has been started not for purposes Of
proselytism, but that it's workers, liv-
ing among the natives, may exemplify
the Christian life in it's spirit of help
fulness. We shall try to get into close
touch with the common people, learn
their language, know their difficulties,
see things as they see them. We shall
have a well-equipped dispensary, with
assistance Of skilled physicians, native
and American. A kindergarten is pro-
vided; other agencies of ministration
will doubtless be developed as time
goes on. We particularly wish to have
1t understood that the use of any
equipment which may be gathered here
and any experiences we may acquire,
we shall gladly share with others.
ITO sum up and apply-our circular
Is thus an appeal to American women:
"Q. To enter upon their residence
in the Philippines, whether 1t Is to be
brief or protracted, under a sense of
responsibility.
"(2) To beware of adopting q preju-
diced or despising or despairing atti-
tude toward the people of the land.
Their blood. their temperament, all
their antecedents, are different from
ours, 1t will take very long time al
best before we can understand them.
49, That each American woman
| should make some definite and individ,
ual effort for the betterment, the well
being, OF some Filipino neighbor; this
is a PERSISTENT, intelligent way. We
expect to be able to furnish from set
Element house, upon application, such
remedies and appliances as will BIZ
most frequently needed, and we invite
the visits or correspondence Of those
who are interested.
"(4) To take advantage of any Cd
portunity to train and teach the ma
tives.
"(5) To consider whether some sor
of association with our settlement
work would not help them and III
alike to better fulfillment of our com
mon responsibility" New York Even

II the sternum and spinal column must

and hope was then extinguished.
The pressure after these gulps SEEM
ed unbearable, but gradually the pain
seemed to ease up, as the carbonic
acid was accommodating in the blood.
At the same time the efforts at in
spiration, with their ACCOMMODATING

has been forced to accept it out of re
spect for its venerable age. The only
man who suspects that there is nothing
I'm it Is the man whose wife is out Of
town. 10 him 1t IL all d joke without
humor, sermon without point.
When the wife goes the husband may
at FIRST experience an exhilarating
sense OF freedom. He will be one Of

return to the old haunts and the old
friends. He viii know again for lit
tie while the delicious thrill of bohe-
milan Responsibility, that must be all
the sWeeter because of the burden Of
restraints he SO long has borne. Yes,
for once, he will do just as he pleases.
But he soon finds that somehow the
old haunts are changed. The old
friends are mostly missing and the rest
are not the same. He tells them his
wife is out of town and that he is in
for weeks good time. They slap him
on the back, wish him great success
and-turn away. The sympathy Of In
terest, that 10 the soul of friendship
among men, is gone. The names are
the same, the faces are the same. but
all else Is different. He finds himself
a Rip Van Wrinkle come back among
strangers and among old scenes and
old sounds that have become strangely
new. Lonesomely he wanders from
one to another and finds them the
same in their difference. He goes home
and finds the house dark and desolate.
He puts himself at ease with his feet
deiantly on the furniture and imagines
he Is free man. But the paper or
book he takes up Is intolerably dull.
At last, in despair, he goes to bed
ahead of time. Next night he tries it
all over again. There is nothing else
he can do. He knows no places but
the old ones. He can at least look on.
The old hoy" he encounters now and
then stops moment to ask him if his
wife is still gone and he is having
good time. and Encompasses OH. The
more Of his old friends he sees the
more he feels alone. So he goes home
night he dreams that the bonds he had
so gladly cast aside were precious
strings Of jewels. He wakes to a real
ization that the whole world has not
changed, but that he has. He sees
that the sympathies, the interests and
the impulses that were his when he
was one of "the boys" can no more be
recalled by him now than can the
years that divide them from him. He
finds it dull business-this being free
from the sympathies, the customs, the
attentions, the companionship that have
become so important part of his life.
When at last she comes home again he
is at the station an hour ahead Of the
train. And yet, the world persists in
accepting it as settled that this man
has had the time of his life."
