WILL N. HARDEN
Author of 'Abner Daniel Our Next Serial Story.
In this story Mr.. Harden is at his best, drawing from life char
acters he has known since childhood.
The New York Commercial Advertiser, comparing the book
with Eben Holden and David Harum, says:
Now that a really good book has come to light, a book far
ahead of most of its class, it will be hard to induce people to
believe it. We have gained more personal enjoyment from
reading Abner Daniel than from any other novel of this par
tcular type since the days of David Harum.
You will agree with the Commercial-Advertiser when you have
read the story, which will be printed in this paper.

Emperor Wearing A Monocle.

LOYAL Germans who feel in duty
bound to ape their emperor have an
other terror confronting them. 1t will
not be so hard to overcome as the up
turned mustaches, however. The en-
peror's doctor told him he has astig-
matism in his right eye and the en-
peror bought monocle. AS a result
there has been tremendous run on
single eyeglasses by German army
officers. The spread Of the habit to
court circles is looked for. 1t is de-
clared, however, that in stimulating
this fad Emperor William was inno-
cent of premeditation only so far as
he was concerned about his astigmatic
eye.

THR JOY OF OWNING A GUN.

It has to be breech-loader now. don't know that a breech-loader inn parts any thrills of possession that muzzle-loader did not furnish lhirty years ago, or that that weapon with it's powder flask, shot pouch and per- cussion caps rejoiced the human heart any more efficiently than the fint-loek did in it's day. But guns are expected to be up to the. times, and nowadays the most beautiful of muzzle-lo -loaders goes up on the wall, or up into the gar ret, or even to the junk shop. unless, indeed, it's barrels are worth adjusting to new breech. But the muzzle- loader might do for boy to begin on. and that would be a noble service for an old gun to perform, for a boy gets out of owning a gun all the joy there is il it.. There are mighty few pleas ures, anyway, that a man can have that boy does not have on a smaller scale, but more intensely.
 Some boys are hungrier for q gun than others-that is partly a matter of what there is handy to shoot-but never knew boy who did not want a gun, and did not delight in it when he got it. It is not because of any in nate uFderousness in the boys dis position, but merely because the gun means power, suggests the relaxation of apron strings, and is an exceedingly important and interesting, not to say on1inous, piece of mechanism. Modern civilization may be said to rest upon guns. There is warrant enough for the boy to be concerned about them; though they will interest him as they do his sporting elders. not as a means of acquiring civilization, but of elud- ing it. If he has a gun. he can go out in the fields and the woods somewhere and try to shoot something, and he will like that.
 Let the boy have the gun and if possible let him learn to handle it. The squirrel who is eating the seeds out of the pears in the garden is fair game for him to start with If he learns to shoot at the. right thing in the right season. never mind if lie also learns to hit what he shoots at. The boy who has learned to handle gun is the kind of boy who knows when a gun is loaded and does not shoot his little brother by mistake. nor get the loclyiaw fgorn toy pistols on the Fourth of Tl Ward Sanford in the Illus funs Drfing News

There has been considerable adverse comment going on here, says a Wash ington correspondent, anent the at tempt of prominent republican politi- clans to select the democratic nominee for the presidency next year. Not long ago the Hon Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois, United States senator, came out in an interview and pro- claimed that Senator German was the ideal democrat to nominate for the presidency by the democrats. There is no shrewder or more adroit politi- elan in the congress of the United States than MT CulIom. He said in that interview that T am convinced that German has the real welfare of tie nation deeply at heart. learned that at the time the Wilson tariff measure was up for passage. It was he who saved our amendments to that bilI.'' The democrats who have been in this city in the past few days are commenting on this statement by the leading republican from the state of Illinois, and saying that it is pretty good democratic policy to do the things those kind of republicans repu- diate and not do the things they ad- vocate. When the democrats of the country have to take their nominees from among the men republicans want to see nominated, then the democracy is in pretty bad row for stumps, and would do we'll to either repudiate re- publican suggestions or else go into the hands of a receiver. The nomination. of democrat with the above indorse- ment from one of the leading republi- cans of the country would place the democracy on the explaining bench from start to finish of the campaign. If the trusts and the tariff questions are to be uppermost in the coming campaign. then the above suggestion may give the democrats of the coun- try some food for thought. Will you nominate a man whose whole life and action in the past have been 8 protest against trusts and corporation greed, or nominate man who stands for all the trusts want and who must be nom- mated in order to get the influence of the trusts as well as their money :? The democrats of the country may answer the question.

 Suit for $10O damages has been brought by the proprietor of Trocadero hall, New York. against the chairman of the sophomore committee, which re- gently held a smoker there. On thas occasion about twenty-five freshmen were the guests of honor, and were ordered to do foolish stunts against which they rebelled. 4 fight resulted that eclipsed anything that the Iro- eadero had seen before or is likely 70 see again. Tables and chairs were smashed, scenery and stage curtains were torn to shreds and the place was generally wrecked. The chairman or the committee is not worried. how ever, for similar suits have been brought many times in the past agaanst his predecessors in office.

 It is time that the juries in eastern Connecticut began to look upon muf- der cases, which in this state call TOT capital punishment, with more seri- ousness, and to reach verdicts in ac* cord with the evidence.

DISCOVERIES IN ENGINE CAB.

Now, the first discovery one makes in riding a locomotive is that the, thing under him is no mere piece of machinery, but a striving, snorting, sweating. hard breathing beast of bur- den. All the tremendous work he is doing you feel as you would feel the efforts of galloping horse under you, or the strength of rower of boat. The second discovery is that railroad is not the monotonous straight way it would seem viewed from a car win dow, but tortuous trail in and out through many obstacles, with abrupt up-hills and hair-rafsing down hills and sudden disappearance in the mid dle distances which causes one to think of the FNates
 made these discoveries and also third-that if did not hang on tight I would be thrown out of the cab win dow--in the first few miles over the inperceptibly rising country that slopes away from the foothills in mile-long undulations. The hills grew less dim as we strode along; faint blue ridges rose up behind them higher and higher as we rode barque-like over each long prairie swell. After whole yellow sea had been traversed in this swift fashion, we rose on what seem ed the last crest, and across the level intervening space saw the whole mountain chain at once. Now the real excitement began. The engineer pull ed long howl from the whistle as for a challenge, and, with a roar, of steel on steed ascending from beneath to mingle with the bull-throated roar from the stack with windows bang ing, coal spilling. fires spouting like internal geysers, long-spouted oil cans gone crazy drunk and staggering in their racks, We galloped at the noun ,tains.. It seemed an absolutely reck- less thing to do but the effect was magic The hill scenery in front of US began to shift and rearrange itself in a surprising way. Long lines of blue changed many colors. Solid ranges broke into separate chains run ming struggling promontories out each side of us by flank movements, show ing gates and passes ahead where none had been before, to entice us into anl- bush. Benjamin Brooks in Scribner's.

Some aniable, well meaning per sons, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine, seem to think that much can be done by providing workmen with more or less luxurious retiring and lunch rooms, where they can meet at noon hour and talk together, under the refining surroundings of flowers and music if they wish to avail themselves of it; but these innovations are not general throughout the country, and,
 more than this, they are not popular with workingmen and women at large. have heard good many Of them express themselves forcibly upon the subject of fancy bath rooms" as they call them, and point to them as evidence that employers could pay higher wages if they choose to by car rying to the salary lists the money they cost to introduce and maintain, They look upon superior surroundings as charities, and, in some sense, as a reflection upon their social status, and will have none of them. Assuredly these provisions, intended to alleviate the irksomeness of labor, have done nothing toward establishing better feel ing between capital and labor, or to- ward settling the Issues between them, for one of the most obstinate strikes occurred in an establishment which was model of the kind alluded to.
