There Were No Profits.

Pa" said the spectators son, &C
cording to an exchange, Il want some
money for little speculation"
II am pleased, my boy" returned
that father, as he hshed a sovereign
from his pocket, TO see thaeyou are
taking an interest in the business af-
fairs of life Now, I won't ask you
what this speculation is, but I will
go halves with you on it. I will
furnish the money and you engineer
the deal, asd we will go halves on the
profits. Of course, if there are none,
I lose my money and you your time"
AL right, pa, I'll make the invest
ment today and report progress to-
morrow"
The next evening, when the father
returned home he inquired about the
deal"
NO good!" was the sentent.ous re-
ply OF the youth.
NO good::" exclaimed the old man
in surprise.
yes, no good replied the boy.
Never saw such decline in stock in
my life. Shrunk quite out of sight. 1t
was a good investment. yesterday
goods worth their face value-but
today you couldn't give them away"
But for heavens sake, George,
what did you invest in?"
'Theatre tickets for last nights
performance"
The old man thought very hard for
a time, and then expressed himself to
the effect that the boy was fitted
for company promoter rather than a
speculator.

Her Hopeless Condition.

The girl was beautiful and good.
In all her life she had never taken
1nlsstep OF given anyone reason tc
say one word against her.
She had never gone anywhere with
out chaperone, if young men were
along.
She had never visited places not
considered highly proper and respec-
table.
She had no stage career.
The fine, womanly down was still
upon this peach.
She is not called a peach because
she had stone for a heart.
AS some human peaches have.
1t is merely term Of endearment
Yet, to return to the story.
She had done everything to edu-
cate and refine her n..;nd and soul, un-
til she stood forth to the world a
perfect woman.
Yet no one cared two whoops about
her.
The crowd was rubbering else
where.
The people who applaud virtue at
ten, twent., thirt., were not looking il,
the direction of this immaculate
heroine.
Why should they?
Who had ever said anything
against her?
No, they were gathered about the
jail, fighting each other hercely to see
whose bouquet should be first to poke
through the bars.
They were scrapping and tearing
each others clother to see who could
get the first Thanksgiving dinner ad-
mitted by the jailer.
And who was the darling they were
so tenderly nursing?
Maybe, only.
The only facts really known about
her are that she had been on an all
night bat with another woman's hus-
band and was arrested because the
man died OF bullet-wound in the cab
with her.
What show has the good girl
while this popular idol reigns upon
her throne of fascinating suspicion

HERBERT MASON DEAD.
We'll Known Insurance Man Ps..e.
 Away q. Hl. college stree. Home. :.

Herbert Mason, ffty-three years old, of If College street, who for twenty-five years up to January 1 was secretary of the Security Insurance company of this city, died at his residence yesterday morning. Kidney trouble was the ill., ness which caused the death.
 Mir. Mason was one of New Haven's most prominent citizens and had all ways lived here. He was the son of James M. Mason, well-known mer chant tailor and real estate dealer, who was secretary of the board of education for many years. The deceased was graduated from Webster school and the local high school, and went to work as office boy in J. B. Sargent & Co.'S fac tory. After three years with this con- cern he left to become S. A. Galpin's clerk in the Security Insurance compa- ny. MT. Galpin's numerous financial ventures demanded much of his time, and consequently a great deal of re- sponsibility fell upon MT Mason. He was soon elected secretary of the com pany, which office he held until Janu- ary of this year, resigning because of the illness which caused his death. He was unceasing in his energy to build up the business of the Security company, and much of the success of the corpor- ation can be directly attributed to him. The deceased was an expert upon ma rine insurance and took great interest in this line of enterprise. He had trav- eled extensively for the Security com pany. His only political office was that of member of the harbor Commission, which he held for a number of years. He was always interesting and willing to lend a hand in the interest of ship ping from this port.
 MT. Mason was charter member of the Union league and had served as a vice. president of that organization. He had been president of the New York Steam Power company, and at the time of his death was director of that con- cern.
 The deceased was married twice, and by his first wife, who was Miss Minnie Louise Newell, of Springfield, Mass, had two children, Helen Newell Mason and Frank H. Mason, both of this city. Burdett Mason and Mrs Mary J. Dag gett, of Bayonne, France, and B. J.. Mason, brothers and sister of the de- ceased, also survive him.
 The funeral will be held tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon at 2:30 from the late residence. Rev. MT. Scoville, of Trinity church, will of1ciate. The in terment will be in the Grove street cemetery.

Observance fn London.


 London, March 6.-The celebration of Bible Sunday by the Bible society at St. Paul's cathedral to-day was robbed of considerable interest owing to the absence of King Edward, who is suffer ing from coll. Queen Alexandra, Princess Victoria, and the Prince and Princess of Wales drove to the cathe- dral and were met at the west door by the lord mayor, the high sherics, the bishop of London and the dean of St.. Paurs, who escorted them to a railed- off portion of the cathedral in front of the choir.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury, who preached the sermon, after referring regretfully to the absence of King Ed ward, traced the history of the Bible society during the past century. He said that when people realized the; great obstacles of poverty. distance and language which the society had to over come in placing the sacred book in the hands of every potential student they would realize what wonderful work had been accomplished.
