One Of the surest ways Of falling to
help another is by criticising. Not
one person in ten thousand has the
grace, or indeed, the power, to receive
and believe words of personal criti-
cism. This may be wrong state OF
affairs, or it may not; but it is tremen-
dously true, and the sooner we recog-
nize it the better for our usefulness.
Many heartbreaking GOODNESS or per-
manent rupture between friends has
been caused by the frank well
meant word of criticism spoken by
one to the other. Shun such criticism
as you would poison--it is fatal in
most cases. Indirectness is the only
safe course here. Warm praise OF
something any thing you can see to
praise In the other, may so turn that
life toward its best possibilities that
the glaring fault will die out for want
Of nourishment. Sometimes an ex-
preston OF strong disapproval Of the
fault as it appears in some one else,
without hint that it is the one spoken
to, may flank the trouble ana even
tually rout It. But a head-on attack
is pretty sure to end in a head-on col
lision-- and that means a wreck.

\ So much having been said and writ
ten about the fulIblood Indian, his abil-
ity to care for himself and transact his
own business, we decided to make a
few inquiries concerning him. Wemust
still say, as we've contended for some
time, that the idea that some people
have that the fullblood world be
robbed unless the Government fixed it
so that he couldn't dispose of his land
is all wrong. On inquiry we find that
a great many of the fullbloods have
their strip money vet. Many of them
have IL loaned out, while a great many
others used it for improving their
homes. But we are sorry to say that
we have not yet been able to find a
single halfblood, or white man, whose
Cherokee wife and children drew, who
can show dollar of that money. Now,
who is most apt to be robbed? asks the
Cherokee Advocate. Trade with few
of these Indians and you may change
your mind somewhat.

Stole the Bank Books.

A man who said he was Max Miller
and wealthy resident Of Tyrone, Pa,
came to Trenton a few days ago and
endeavored to negotiate loans on the
strength of two well-f1lled bankbooks.
The books were marked with the name
of Miller and showed deposits amount
ing to $1,000. The man deposited
check for $4,000 in the First National
Bank, but was told that ne could not
draw against it until word was re-
ceived from the National Bank of Ty-
rome, on which it was made. In the
meantime he tried to borrow money
from Jacob Phillips, Trenton business
man, but succeeded in getting only a
dollar. Word was finally received from
Tyrone that the man was an imposter
and had stolen the bankbooks. When
the police went to look for him he had
disappeared

y "a great many people think that re-
public is a dry and jejune organization
of society, says the Hartford Courant
The theory that all men are equal be-
fore the law. taken as working prin-
cipal of the social organization, does
of course reduce everybody to one dead
level. But this dead level applies only.
TO individual relations to the law, and,
important as this field is, especially
when the rights thus conferred and
secured are considered, it is only one of
nnany with which men, under even the
most democratic of governments, con-
germ themselves.

Golfers Weekly remarks that many
men, now living, have mo time to
make money" You win remember
that we had an editorial a few weeks
ago on DR.. Moore who made deed of
gift TO the Agricultural Department of
his patentable discovery Of how TO en-
rich soil and thereby 10 increase GER
tain crops, recalls the Little Chronicle.
Golfers adds to this philanthropist
the names Of Luther Burbank, who is
employed in the Carnegie Institute, and
who is developing miracles of horticul-
ture; and DR.. Agassiz, Of Harvard, who
is following in the footsteps of dfstin-
guished and disinterested father. And
there is Professor Babcock, Of Wiscon-
sin, who refused to patent his cream
separator, although he might justly,
as the world looks at it, have collected
toll from every dairy and dairy farmer
in the land. These are only few of
the men now in the world who have
no time to make money. Scientific in
Sestigators, such as every modern coun-
try possesses, constantly give their dis
icoveries to the world so that, in way,
it is expected Of them. Their chosen
life work is to expand the field OF
human knowledge. II, now and then,
discovery or invention Of theirs
should prove of immediate money
value, that is an accident They are
too busy and too indifferent to riches
to develop it commercially, They are
paid in fame, and in increased oppor-
tunity for work. The world gladly ac-
cords them honor and acknowledges its
debt 70 them.

into his well. He was drawing a

son fell from his mothers grasp.
Neighbors weresummoned, but Willick
was dead when he was pulled out of
the well.

CHAPTER n.

Tine morning after the Burgomeis-
ter's fete fulfilled the promise of the
previous night.
Bright, still and wonderfully clear,
perfect winters day, as though be-
spoken for sIeighing party, and near
" all Berngtadt turned out to see the
start.
The market place looked quite
crowded by the array of sleighs and
their gayly caparisoned horses, and
the various owners, who were general
ly the drivers also, were going busily
to and fro from their equipages to the
entrance hall Of the Burgomeister's
house, where the ladies had assem-
bled, arranging their parties" and
assisting to take out the furs and
wraps with which each was plentiful
~ provided.
The snow-laden, peaked roofs, pro-
jecting windows, quaint carved pin
nacles and vanes, which make the
street scenery of old German towns
so charming. sparkled in the MONDAY
sun; rosy-faced old women, warmly
clad in wooden garments, looked pla-
cfdly on as they sat, slipping smoking
coffee, surrounded by their stock, red
apples, golden oranges, and great pale
green cabbages piled up in pleasant
masses Of color, earthenware, felt
slippers, fowls, still in their soft gray
and brown plumage, glittering tin pans
and kettles. and the endless sundries
which must charm all strange house
keepers in Germany; potatoes, bright
colored woods for knitting, toys gin
gerbread, baskets, ana boots, made in
the centre of the space a variegated
array, and in the interval between the
boots and the footway the line OF
sleighs almost encircled the market
place.
Nearly all had assembled when Stein
hansen drove up.
He had contrived almost to cover d
hired sleigh with costly furs, while his
servant had seen to the decoration of
the horse, favorite with master and
man; and a large powerful animal,
black as night, and fiery as his owner.
Steinhausen had not been able to
make any move toward robbing Stro-
mer Of his destined partner, but he
hoped by some fmpromptu stratagem
to accomplish his end at the moment Of
starting.
He therefore paused to reconnoiter
before entering the house, on the steps
of which he recognized Herr Haupt-
mann Cheering in close and animated
conversation with the Burgomeister
AS he made his way to where the
lady Of the house stood, various ex-
carnations reached his ear
Zach, it ie too bad, too vexatious"

who will replace him?''
ooh, the Herr Burgomeister him
self"
HE is just as good as Sromer."
"What misfortune has happened.

Steinhausen, shaking hands with the
worthy magistrate.

suddenly called to meet the command
ant at Konigstein, this evening, and
has already started, SO we are deprived
Of our leader.
