STILL WATTING.-Bishop P. F. Ste
vens Of South Carolina was urging on
a young man the other day the i'm
portance of self-appreciation, says the
Boston Post.
ITO think too little Of yourself" he
said "is quite as harmful as to think
too much. Modesty and humility are
all very we'll in their way, but there
is great danger, by OVERRIDING them,
Of creating a Uriah Heep impression"
Bishop Stevens laughed quietly.
II once knew young minister" he
said, who was extravagantly modest
and humble.
"One Christmas Eve his congrega-
ton called at the parsonage and pre-
sented him with a plush armchair.
Your eloquence and goodness, the
congregations spokesman said, are the
inspiration of this gift
Tears flooded the eyes Of the young
divine, he was so moved.
"I am unworthy Of such kindness
he said. All l am 1 owe to divine as
sistance. l.
But he could proceed no further.
His voice broke.
Don't cry young man. said dea-
con. dryly. Your Maker has heap
to do for you yet

THE LATEST MAN ALIvE.-1n an
English country village there has just
been buried the LATEST man alive.
Lazy Tom would do nothing in the
shape OF work.
The village folk. getting tired Of him,
determined to make him work or
bury him alive. Accordingly they pro-
cured a rough-made coffin, and the
leader Of the party explained to Tom
their intentions. Tom refused to work,
so without more ado they put him into
the coffin, formed a procession, and
started for the burying ground.
After going some distance, a Gotta
ger, seeing the funeral" and not hav-
ing heard Of a death, asked who 1t was.
On being told who it was, she request
ed the party to give Tom one more
chance. .-.
The coffin was put down, and the
cottager said:
Now, look here, Tom; have got a
lot Of beans in my shed, enough to
keep you alive for awhile. You can
have them, and when they are gone,
perhaps you will feel inclined to work"
What do you say to that" said
the leader Of the party.
BE the beans shelled?" drawled out
Tom.
NO." said the cottager.
Closing his eyes, Tom murmured,
Go on with the funeral"

AN - ExAsPERATED LANDLoRD.-A
tale comes from the Nutmeg State OF
a man who travelled much and was
we'll known wherever he went by ho-
tel men and others as "proverbial
kicker" Nothing was ever good
enough or bad enough, hot enough or
cold enough, rich enough or poor
enough for him. One day he went to
one of the best hotels in the state and
put up for the night. His fame had
preceded him, and the landlord gave
orders to high and low to serve him
with the best, and to wait on him with
alacrity. His wishes were all antici-
pated that night, and he went to bed
as happy as a man like him could be
with nothing to growl about. In the
morning extra pains were taken with
his breakfast, after which the landlord
went and inquired If everything was
all right, adding that he trusted his
breakfast had been satisfactory.
well, it was fair" admitted the
guest, but 1 like breakfast to be hot.
This wasn't hot enough"
VERY well, sir" responded the ex-
asperated landlord, I'VE have done our
best for you. There Is, however, only
one place so hot your breakfast would
be sure to please you. You'd better
go there" And walked off.

FRIGRrENED.-Very thin as we'll as
very portly men are sometimes placed
in embarrassing positions by their ex-
cess or lack of flesh. A physician
living in the northern part Of the city,
says the Philadelphia Call, is noted
for his extreme thinness, which is
made more apparent by his height OF
six feet four inches.
Several days ago, during his alb
sence, a match boy called at his house
was admitted, taken into the back Of
flee, and the doctors wife bought some
Of his stock. The money was in
closet in company with an articulated
skeleton, which was disclosed as soon
as the door was opened.
The boy took one look at the grin
ming horror, and fed from the house
leaving both money and matches
This was related to the doctor, and
several days afterward the same boy
was seen passing the house.
On the doctors attention being call
ed to the fact, he went to the door and
beckoned the lad to come to him
Holding his fingers to his nose in q
very expressive but vulgar manner
the match boy shouted out:
mot much, you big old skelington!
I knows yer, even If you has got on
yer clothes!"

UNcoNvINcED.-Many and strange
are the innocent sophistries Of child
hood In gaining it's point. How quick
ly they learn even to distrust the evil
dences OF their senses! A little girl
who was addicted to prodigal use OF
sugar upon her oatmeal, had been put
upon an allowance of reasonable
number Of spoonfuls.
One morning she had been given the
specified quantity, but presently ask
ed, Mamma, may 1 have just one
spoonful more?"

"By-and-by some one noticed that
the little girl was sitting sulkiiy
before her untasted plate, and inquir-
ed, why don't you eat your oatmeal,
Kitty?"
"I can't; 1t isn't sweet enough"
"Nonsense!" said mamma. Don't
be a little fuss-budget. Try a spoon
full and you'll like it."
But II you only knew how sour 1t

Mamma good-naturedly took a
spoonful. .-..
Eat it Immediately, dear" she said'
with decision. '.It tastes quite sweet

scented the opposition -. the general officers
as well as the interests Of those identined

difference of twenty-eight IN favor Of the

"In New York city, where labor troubles
in the building trades were the worst of any
city in the list enumerated, the falling off
was only per cent. In Chicago the de-
crease was considera ble-30 per cent.-but
this was due to the change in the building
ordinance in 1902 by which the limit of
height was done away with and permits
were taken out for many buildings which
have not yet been erected Another infiu-
entail agency in decreasing the figures in
Chicago was the enactment of stringent
measures relative to the construction of
apartment houses. which greatly curtailed
the operations of speculative builders. Other
cities showing decreases are Pittsburg, 6
per cent San Francisco. 10; Cleveland s.;
Minneapolis, S; Cincinnati, 6; Allegheny,
T. 1t will be seen that eight cities show
losses, while thirteen made gains of from 1
to So per cent
From all of the cities enumerated in the
foregoing came the same statement of in
reference with operations. first by labor
troubles, and second, the alleged high prices
Of materials. Architects and builders gem
orally express the opinion that 1904 will
surpass the year just closed, while the facts
as they come to hand far, from CORE
spondents all over the United States, bear
out their statement. and IL is believed that
this will be a prosperous year for those in
terested in the building industry"

LINE OF DEFENSE PARTLY
SHOWN IN BECHTEL CASE
Attorneys Claim They viii Show
Mabel Received Injuries While
Out Carousing.
ATTACK GIRLS CONDUCT

AILENTOWN, Pa, Jan. 16.-This was
the third dav of the trial of Mrs Catherine
BechteI on the charge of being an accessory
after the fact 10 the murder of her daugh-
ter Mabel. The only sensational feature Of
the day was the announcement the part
of the attorneys for the defense that iney
would endeavor TO show that the girl met
her death in house OF questionable char
acter that Mabel had been in the habit of
visiting.
Jennie Conrad, young domestic at the
St. Charles Hotel, testified that Mabel
Bechtel and Wesenberg visited her at the
hotel on Sunday night, Oct. 25. The witness
stated that on that night Mabel wore a
brown skirt, white silk shirtwaist, black
hat trimmed with black pIumes and a three
quarters-length tan coat. This outfit is en-
tirely different from the one the girl wore
when found dead on the following Tuesday
morning. On that occasion. witness said.
Mabel told her she was going TO be mar
ried TO Eckstein. She also said her mother
objected to her associating with Weisen-
berg because the latter did not intend to
marry her The district attorney objected
to a question concerning the character Of
the hotel and the defendants counsel said I:
q house well as that of person. We
wish TO DO this because IL is part of the
defense's theory that Mabel received her
injuries in house of that character We
further wish TO show the nature of the
places Mabel visited at night"
The objection was sustained and the wit
ness was excused.
Mabel Strunk, who was a friend of Mabel
Bechtel, testified that on one occasion she
heard Miss Bechtel and Eckstein quarrel
ing on the street. Eckstein accused the
young woman of drinking and associatng
with other men. They parted on the cor
ner Witness said Mabel Bechtel wanted
TO board at her home because she desired
10 receive the attentions of Weisenberg, to
whom Mrs. Bechtel objected. She also testi-
fed that she had worn the enga cement
ring given Mabel by Eckstein and that Tom
Bechtel and Mabel did not speak. She
further said that she heard Eckstein say he
saw Mabel taken into the City Hall while
she was drunk.
DIR. John r. Lear, biologist of Muhllen-
burg College, who made the analysis of
the spots on the carpets, steps, bedding,
Mabel BechteIs clothing and all other sus-
piciOus articles found in the Bechtel home,
and who is the principal expert witness for
the onwealth, was called to the stand
after recess.
He identified all the articles exhibited,
but was not called on to make known the
results of his tests.
The district attorney to-day agreed to
withdraw the indictments hanging over
Weisenberg providing the latter would go
To this Weisenberg consented, but his
testimony was unimportant.
Mrs. BrcbSt, WHO was to-day recalled 70
the stand, testified that Weisenberg had
said that for S. he could have both Eek
stein and Mabel put out of the way.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
IN PRINCIPAL CITIES

Building operations in twenty-one of the
principal cities of the country for the year
1903 are given by Construction News as fol-
lows
1T is gratifying to note that the statis--
tics of building operations in rwenty-one or
the principal cities of the country for the
year 1903, according to special reports 10
Construction News, show a falling off that
is almost too insignificant to mention, only
per cent During the year just closed per-
mits were taken out in the twenty-one cit
les for the construction of 6074 building i'm
provements. involving a cost of s296, 5l5, l23
against 74277 buildings and 1928, 646. 500 in
1902 a decrease of 1877 buildings and 3d.
131, 1873 in cost.
TT is too late now to view the presen-
tation made with other than an expression
of satisfaction, but IL is admitted on all
hands that the showing would have been
on the other column, a handsome gain over
the preceding year. had it not been for the
disa strous labor troubles in other lines than
building. Building was affected sympa-
thetically. but with all the untoward con-
ditions the showing is considered remark
able. The figures in detail are as follows:
