Morris Shot at Connecticut.

man who is writing history found
something the other day which anus

passage in the will of Lewis Morris,
recorded in the Surrogates office of
New York in the year 17G0, and ran
as follows:
''It is my wish that my son, Gouver-
neur, shall have the best education
that can be furnished him in England
or America; but my express will and
directions are that under no circum-
stances shall he be sent to the colony
of Connecticut for that purpose, lest
in his youth he rhould imbibe that
low craft and cun1ing so incident to
the people Of that colony, and which
are so interviewer in their constitution
that all their wit cannot conceal it
from the world, though many of them,
under the sanctified garb of religion,
have attempted to impose themselves
on the world as honest men,

The wretch who had lured her into
the elamor Of the footlights had al
ready found means to make her
beauty and her grace source of
profit.
Mamma! mammal" murmured the
fever-stricken child Me wants my

But those tiny tones never reached
the womans ears, in which were ring
ing the plaudits of brainless, heart
less throng, as she posed and pirouet-
ted in state of semi-nudity. No
longer a sun, she had degenerated
into a star.

lowered into the grave. But secretly.

debut.
He saw huge bouquets OF costly
flowers passed across the footlights

too poor to purchase more than one
solitary sunflower to place upon the

He never even let the mother know
of his loss. Why should he? She
looked so bright and happy. even as
she had before he had dared to hide
her brilliancy for a time in the OBJ
scurity of his dismal home.
Again she has returned to the

that she never sees, and no one knows

NO ONE TO RUN 1T.
Simple Explanation for Stopping o!
Alarm Clock


An lrishman who had been unoccu-
pied for some time induced his friend
Patrick to try to secure him position
with contractor. One evening about
a week later Pat went around to
Mikes boarding house with the news
that the contractor had granted Mike
a trial.
But said Pitt. "he is avery para.
ticker, and ye moost be sure to be at
the coffee by shar-r-p Oi'll git ye an
alarm clock and then yen be sure to
git up on tonne"
So Pat bought the alarm clocA,
wound it up and set it at $50. 1t went
off satisfactorily. Mike went down
and worked all day When he went
home at night he wound the clock, but
did not bother with the alarm, think
ing that it would go off automatically.
The next morning he slept until s
o'clock, and when he went to the office
the boss gave him his pay and told
him to leave. Mike went home mad,
swore at the alarm clock and finally
took the back off. A lot of springs,
wires and wheels fell out, and, last of
all, dead cockroach tumbled over on
to the table. Mike looked at the roach
in surprise. and then burst out:
BE dad! No wonder the thing
wouldn't go off. The injineer is dead. .

any visible means of propulsion: and
it darted up close to the Vaquero and

its spherical upper body. identified it

The oil furnished the strange craft
was inferior and its use deranged the
machinery. Lieut. Ross. however, was
able to save the huge. ball-shaped de-

marine craft left in the Japanese :ieet.
1t was the effect of the inferior oil
upon the machinery that prevented
the strange craft from saving its
transports.
The story is fiction, but Mr.. Robert

the plans for real submarine Destroy

as his plans have impressed them
selves so strongly on the Holland com

CverWorked Railroad EMPLOYEES.

Is It not a fair assumption that the
railroads would have fewer accidents
and kill fewer employees and passen-
gers if they never cut off thousands
of men from their pay rolls in a year
of record breaking traffic? When few
er men do more work it is likely to
be found that many are overtaXed.
On railroads that too often means IA
tai drowsiness at posts of danger, care
lessness from subjecting nature to ex-
cessive strain. American railroads
exhibit wonderful growth in business,
while they go from bad to worse in
respect to the protection of human
life. When is this fatal weakness to
be emedied.-Cleveland Leader.

THE JOCKEY AND THE KING.
Royalty Not Always Accorded First
Place in Life


King Leopold of Belgium told . good
time ago which has just found its way
into the French newspapers
Il was dining in a Paris restaurant"
said the most democratic OF kings.
"and on looking around saw Tod
Sloan, the American jockey, whom |
had seen often riding at Longchamps.
dining in solitary splendor at the next
table. While waiting for my dinner
to be brought watched the little
American and saw him, after tasting
some fried potatoes that had been
brought him, summon the waiter an
grily and bid him take the dish away.
Now, | had ordered fried potatoes
also, and | had no difficulty in discov-
ering, when mine arrived with sus-
plcious promptness, that the very
same dish Tod Sloan had disdained
had been brought to me.
Il suppose" said listener. Your
Majesty summoned the restaurant
man and had the waiter discharged" ?"
oh. no. replied the king, smiling,
Il tasted the potatoes, and l discover
ed that Mr.. Sloan was quite right.
They had been cooked with rancid
butter, and were very bad. But l
knew that If sent them away it
would seriously injure the business of
the place, SO I went on eating them.
You see. therefore, that nowadays a
jockey can afford to be more part.cu-
lar than king"

fEYER'S AFTER EFFECTS

Pink Pills.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner
vous fever. During the course of tho
fever the nerves are always profoundly
disturbed, and when it is over they are
left so sensitive that the patient has to
be guarded against all excitement. In the
tonic treatment then demanded. regard
must be paid not only to building up flesh
but also to strengthening the nerves. A
remedy that will do both, make sound
flesh to repair waste and give new vIgor
to feeble nerves, is the most convenient
and economical. Such n remedy Is Dr.

After a Successful Tour of the World.
Returns to the Scene Of her Former
Triumphs.
, This announcement. in gigantic let
}ters, is seen on all the boardings and
bill-posting stations. 1t is read with
interest by men about town who are
familiar. with the career of the dla-
nond-decked beauty, whose noto-
riety has been far more profitable
than any little talents she is supposed
to possess. 1t is read by hosts OF en-
vious young "artistes" whose ambitions
are centered on becoming star IN
the vaudeville world, no matter what
the cost. And it is read early each
morning by one man-infirm, ragged
decrepit old John Maudsley-as me-
chanically he creeps along toward MS
place of business, idiotically mutter-
ing the words of Thomas Moore:
Sunshine, broken in the rill,
Though turned aside, is sunshine
STILL
Very little sunshine had ever come
into John Maudsley's life. The office
in which he had worked since boy
hood, from early morning until late at
night, appeared to have been buried
in block of big buildings for the
express purpose of shutting out any
stray rays of sunshine which might
otherwise have striveE 70 penetrate
the everlastingly unwashed windows
The head of the publishing firm which
he had served long and faithfully
seemed to have acquired the habit OF
sitting anything in the least resem-
bling sunshine, probably as the result
of their systematically smothering the
hopes and ambitions of budding au-
thors.
The home which, with much hus-
Abanding of his scanty income. John
'Maudsley had built up, sometimes
stole stray ray or two which fell
foul of the smokestacks of the big
tenement house and tumbled down
the airshaft, but even these were dead
when John returned from his work.
So it had happened that the sun shone
only once a week for John. That was
on Sundays.
1t was during one of the brightest
of these, il summer time, that John
first met a little living sunbeam. A
girl who seemed to make the sun
shine brighter; to absorb the rays of
the great lfegiver; and to shed them
again on the innermost recesses of
the poor fellows heart. Then it was
that he began to dream wild dreams
of how his little home might be
frightened with perpetual sunshine,
always on tap, SO to speak, when he
ought to have known that it is a dan
gerous experiment to bottle up sun
shine, of the feminine gender, in such
obscurity.
He it was who first called her lit
tie Sunshine" and when he had won
her consent to illuminate his home, it
seemed to him that henceforth every
day must be a summer Sunday.
There was great gaiety in the here
tofore dismal little fiat. both when
John was at home and when he was
away at his work, for the golden glory
of that little head must have sub
jects to shine upon.
Then came to John what was the
mystery of mysteries. 1t was no
Oeclipse. 1t was simply that while the
mans whole soul still circled around
that first sweet sun. another lesser
orb of love was born and shed new

Very few people who suffer with
