The Wrong Point OF View.

The New-Yorker in Chicago catches
a Whit of certain strong Odors that
float over from the stockyards, wash
ing impartially about the walls of how
els and palaces, and shoulders with re-
pulsion, forgetful Of all the good things
that hang, as it were, upon that smell.
Instead of accepting 1t with forti-
tude as merely another manifestation
of that boundless enterprise that is
sowing the tropical jungle and the arc
tic ice-f1elds with the tin can Of civili-
zation, he is conscious only Of smell
"a vile smell.
All the fine, elusive significance Of
it escapes him. He fails to discern the
romance that hangs about it, softening
its aggressive actually as the blue
mist does the outlines of the noun
tains. He does not stop to reflect that
the tin can follows the smell, and civ
ilization the tin can. Never having in
all his elegant, punctilious existence
been cast away in the white North,
or lost in a tropical underground, he
fails to realize that there are moments
when the sight, even of one of those
discarded cans might be as grateful to
"a man as it was>erstwhile to the Har-
lem goat-FourTrack News.

disturbed Peace OF the Seadogs-

Disturbed Peace OF the Seadogs-
81 do not know why it is, husband,
but our Hazel, young as she is, is wor-
rying great deal. That girl. Sankala,
disturbs her peace of mind. She does
not like her. The poor girl is kind to
our Hazel and all of that but our child
seems to have most natural antipathy
for her.
"Sankala is the most popular girl at
girls run after her and the boys wor-
ship her. They look upon her as some
superior being and yet she is only a
poor little waif that you remember was
cast ashore here many years ago.
"Old Ringwold, her father, is drink
ing more and more whenever he can
get it, and the child, poor thing, much
as az she disturbes our Hazel, seems
more devoted to the old man every
day.
"It would be better for her if he
should die, but then it would almost
kill her, for the poor thing worships
the old fellow. But it would be bad
for the village if Ringwold should die.
There would be no one to fill the diff
cult prescriptions at the drug store and
do not know what poor GosneIl would
do without him.
"Do you know, husband" spoke the
woman more cautiously, II do not like
that girl sankala. She is all kindness
and deserving, but do not like the
child, Her name disturbs me and
when see her peculiar feeling comes
over me which I-cannot explain. l do
not wish the girl bad luck, but l do
wish that something would take her
away from the village where could
not see her and where she would not
disturb our Hazel"
Thus spoke Mrs. Seadog, the wife OF
old Seadog, the ruling power IN the

said the rugged old capitalist, who had
made his wealth in various ways. He
had pulled oars through the storm-drlv'
en- waves. He had sold goods over the
counters of his great store at enormous
profit. He had dispensed whisky over
his bar that was said to have been OF
his own make and was warranted to
contain snakes to the quart; he had
thrown Cinnamon from his cannery In
to the bay because they did not earn
ten times their wages; he had robbed
the fish traps OF his neighbors, stolen
their property rights by night, and was
charged with having sent gillnetters 70
the-bottom of the river. Upon all OF
this, old seadog had built up an i'm,
menee fortune, but it was whispered
about that he had come to the wealth

The Value Of Absence.

When Thomas Valentine Cooper was
chairman Of the Republican State COM
mittee in Pennsylvania he had consid-
cradle difficulty insmanaging certain
candidate for Congress, who was a
miserable talker, but thought that he
was gifted with the eloquence of De
mosthenes.
There was one township in the
county that seemed doubtful, and the
candidate was anxious to go there and
air his oratory.
"Mr. Chairman" he said to Cooper.
II should like to go down to that
township on Saturday night and make
a speech. You know the vote will be
close there. What do you say?"
NO" replied Cooper, with great
emphasis on the little word, 1--WE want
to carry that townships Stay away
from there
He stayed away, and was elected.
