A good sort Of trolley conductor who
has ears for other things besides the
bell OF his fare register and whose run
in Brooklyn brings him passengers to
and from a certain cemetery, vouches
for this story:
A woman boarded his car at the
cemetery the other day shaking with
sobs. She had not been in the car long
when two women took seats opposite
her. One of them seemed to recog-
nize the woman from the cemetery.

aisle and spoke to her. The sobbing

had crossed the aisle, where have you

sob-brOken answer, "and I'm just after
cremating my husband"
Condolences were offered and the
widow soon after left the car, appar-
entity cheered, while her friend return
ed to the seat beside her companion,
and told all that Mary had unbosoned
to her.
And she's got husbands to burn, !"
remarked the companion, enviously,

A kind Of horror withered the faces
of both to a grim, corpse-like hue,
more fearful to behold than the wax
like pallor of the beautiful rigid face.
The consciousn that if the maid
en- was indeed dead, her death would
be recorded against them in their
souls and in the world hereafter, had
not so much to do in making these two
men pale and affrighted as the knowi-
edge that, If she was forever beyond
recall to life, their far-reaching and
villainous plot must be hopeless for
success.

Ing Sosia to remove a large portion Of
the upper part. of the lead casing.
Martha, amazed and astounded,
stood in the background, gazing at the
scene with more of horror than of
terror in her hard gray eyes.
Two OF the four men who were in
sailors guise also stood aloof pale and
disturbed in visage, evidently ignor-
ant of the work in which they had
shared. The other two Of the four
tremblingly held and gave such tools
as Sosia and Capt. Osred from time to
time demanded.
So said Sosia, as he cut through
and removed a great shred of lead;
"a case of Brazil wood within, as ex-
pected. Her body, alive or dead, my
wood. The shears--give me my shears,
in my portmanteau there, man."
Bashfort took a huge pair of timers
shears from the doctors square leath-
ern case and gave them to him.
With these Sosia quickly divided the
lead covering which enyeloped the real
coffin, and a few moments later saw
Bashfort and Capt. Osred lift and cast
gently aside the entire wooden lid.
There could be seen in the coffin,
with the face upward, the motionless
form of most beautiful young wom-
an-the marbly brow crowned with a
wreath Of freshly withered orange
blossoms, and the form clothed in the
snowy white and glittering habili-
ments of bride.
The white, cold and wax-like hands
were crossed upon the bosom, and the
absence of the wedding ring denoted
that she who lying there in the garb
unmarried.
Martha advanced stealthily and
peering keenly at all, noted the dress,
the floral crown, the rich misty veil,
and the absence of a marriage ring.
"Ah," thought Martha, gliding into
the background again, and crouching
to the floor; "the hand of sudden and
unexpected death must have snatched
her from the bridal altar to the tomb!
Who is she?-and why have they
brought her body here? Or did my
lord expect to find her alive after be-
ing buried? Better for her, perhaps,
and for all of us. since she is dead.
And SO an end to whatever devils
work Lord Genlis had in mind"
Martha had time to make her UNI
spoken reflections, for Immediately
after the lid was removed DR.. Sosia
made commanding gesture with his
long, thin arms, forcing all who were
near to fall back a few PAGES, while he
gazed keenly at the pale and rigid face
beneath the gossamer veil.
Removing the veil with motionless
touch, he continued to study the mar
bly, face.
"ssSdeath!" exclaimed Lord Genhs
and Capt. Osred, simultaneously, after
moment of restrained impatience.
"Is she really dead, DR.. Sosia?'

Avenues of Usefulness-B Banking.

The care of other peoples money is to
many an attractive occupation. 1t is a
danger to the individual and detriment
to the public to have money boarded. If
one is sure that his money is secure it is
better to deposit it in a bank without
interest than to keep it at home, but
the money can be loaned to such an
advantage that the bank can afford to
pay interest. The banker occupies an
important place in a community, and
can render great assistance as an adj
visor.
The temptation peculiar to the banker
is speculation, and it is the temptation
against which he must steel himself.
No one who handles trust funds can af-
ford to speculate in grain or stocks, or
anything else. Until all gambling is
stopped, there ought to be a law making
it a criminal offense for any one acting
in a trust capacity to speculate. 1t 10
not sufficient to wait until turn in the
market has revealed his misuse of trust
funds. Many banker would have been
saved the disgrace and some from death
had there been such law. The great
est danger in banking is that it may
harden the heart. The banker becomes
as accustomed to hard luck tales as a
butcher becomes accustomed to blood,
and he is likely to lose compassion. The
man who most needs money is the very
one who finds it most difficult to borrow,
and the fact that the banker is handling
other peoples money makes it impossi
BILE for him to indulge his sympathes as
freely as he might do with his own
means.
To make banking absolutely safe
ought to be the first object of the banker.
There is profit enough in banking to
permit of legislation making the depos-
itor absolutely secure, and it is proba
bic that the money that would be drawn
from boarding by such legislation would
more than compensate for any burden
imposed
The banker, like every other business
man, is the servant of the community,
and he can, as faithful servant, win
an enviabie position among his fellows.

IOHN G. COLLINS, PubIlshe

Discomfort is considerable through
the land Some of it is rational, and
therefore a most valuable attribute of
man; and some of it is facticious, lead
ing nowhere. A fundamental basis on
which economic pessimism or optimism
should rest is the relation of wages TO
the cost of living, and on that subject
information is none too clear. Accord
ing to the United States Bureau of Sta
tistics, the steady rise in the average
wage-rate since 1894 has been kept
pace with by increasing cost of food.
This paralelism is close, even reckoning
wages by the hour, and as the hours
per day have steadily decreased since
1890, the total money increase has been
even more nearly equaled by the in
creased price of food. AS there have
been no hard times of late, increased
cost of living has not become a leading
force in determining elections, but it is
likely to become so at any lessening of
prosperity. Then the tariff issue, now
so dead, will step to the front once
more, and it will need only men like
Governor Douglas to convince to people
that no single condition does so much to

of increasing wealth in the hands Of

that an excessive shock is more likely
