tanned $35,000 verdict against
the Chicago City Railway company
and the Chicago and Grand Trunk
Railroad company after a fight of
eleven years in the courts, he must
carry the litigation still farther If
he is victorious in the end he will re-
ceive only $4,000.
Judge Chytraus yesterday reduced
the higher figure $4,000, finding that
the award was excessive.
The two corporations took an appeal
to the appellate court, thus forcing
Smith to continue the legal fight.
Smith was injured in 1894 in col
lision in which four men were killed.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1. - Since she
has been forgiven for stealing
apples from neighbor's orchard,
Miss Augusta Wieneke has "lived by
faith alone" Her needs all are pro-
vided for by prayer, and hence it IS
objectionable to steal. Last Wednes-
day she confessed her grievous sin.
ut was revealed to me-" she said
yesterday "that to confess was the
only proper thing to do. SO / wrote
a letter stating what I had done and
asking to be absolved. My reply came
by telegraph"
The theft, according to Miss Wieneke,
was committed during her school days
at Janesville, Wis, years ago. S. ID.
Tallman owned a large apple orchard
there, and, like most young persons,
Augusta was not immune to the seduc-
tive influence of rosy apples nodding
a good morning to her from behind
their leafy bower.
Scales Fence, Yielding to Temptation
Stealthily one afternoon the girl
scaled the fence and filled her straw
hat and her pockets with the fruit
which she had watched redden and
mellow from the time each apple was
dainty pink and white blossom. A
snake scurried away as she perched on
the top fence rail- That was before
Augusta joined the Holiness" society.
Now Miss Wieneke lives in the So
ciety home at 1905 Park avenue. 1t
is comfortable establishment. The
floors are carpeted with soft rugs. Oil
paintings adorn the walls, and a grand
piano stands in the bay window of
the parlor. In this institution every
one lives by faith. All have resigned
profitable positions in the world of
business and have begun taking les
sons in faith living" Only to the
just, however, is this privilege allowed.
To this end it is necessary that each
member have a stainless record.
Miss Wieneke was happy yesterday.
The. last obstacle which had stood in
the way of her living strictly by faith
had been removed. The yellow tele-
graph blank had made her happiness
complete. One by one she had been
absolved of all her misdemeanors
which she called her sins.
II never have done anything espec-
tally bad" explained the young wo-
man, "but we all have committed deeds
we were ashamed of afterward. 1 had
forgotten all about those apples until

ON THE iNsTALLMENT PLAN

1t was while Nine. Calve was play
ing Carmen at the Covent Garden
in London recently, and the tenor, a
very slight man, in the spirited last
act was making fruitless attempt to
carry the robust cigarette girl away.
The tenor made several fruitless efforts
to carry the heroine, but without the
slightest success. At this critical mo-
ment an unmistakable cockney voice
in the gallery shouted in high key:
Better take what you can, Guvnor,
and come back for the rest"

Human Ear WaH1eRs.


There Is no doubt that at one period
every one could move the "pinna," OF
external ear, at will. The muscles for
the purpose are found in man, as tn the
horse and the donkey, although disuse
has caused them to become imperative.
The Australian abortgtnes, the Pa
puans, and other savages, whose acute
ness Of hearing e1cels ours, can all,
speaking generally, control the move
ments Of the pima completely. So can
certain peculiarly constituted indivM-
uals among civilized races, although
where these occur they are usually ex-
hibtted as freaks" at shows and the
like.
]. Muller, the German scientist, by
will effort and practice continued over
many years actually succeeded In re-
gaining the power Of moving, his ears
freely and quickly. 1t is, moreover, not
beyond probability that the progress
Of inventions, such as that Of wireless
telegraphy, may lead to the redevelop-
ment in man Of the primeval ear wag,
possibly with the assistance Of me-
chanical additions to accentuate its ef-
feet.

A Queer Express.

Not many years ago, on the high
roads about Wittenberg, In Germany,
travellers frequently met an old woman
rudgtng slowly along pushing before
her a light wheeIbarrow loaded with
bundles and parcels. The old woman
was at least sixty, but she was 80
cheerful and accomplishing that the
people had no hesitation In employing
her. She had many kutckknacks and
parcels to carry to and from the city,
into which three or four times week
she pushed her barrow, which folks
called the "Wittenberg express" This
plucky old woman walked with her e1-
press whee5barrow at least ten miles
each tnp, and her earnings, small fee
for each parcel, served to support her
SELF and her two invalid daughters, who
could do ouly little sewing. The old
woman would allow no one 10 pity her.
She liked the work, she said, and was
only sorry that as she grew older she
could not make such frequent trips, for
her earnings were helping herself and
her children.-St. Nicholas.

CarrOll's Lecture.

Richard Carroll, the well-known negro
preacher and lecturer, delivered an ad
dress in the court house here last Sunday
afternoon. There was large crowd
present, many OF our best and most sub
stantial citizens being present. There
was good many negroes ;of the better
class in the audience, seats being reserved
in the rear of the building for them
CAROLS address was full of sound sense
for both races, and3while it is impossible
for US to give even a synopsis of his lec'
ture, it is sufficient to say that his re-
marks met with the approval of both
races. He gave the whites and blacks both
some straight talk, but he talked in a
practical and reasonable way. He was
here in the interest of his orphanage, and
several of our best white citizens con.
tributed to the cause.

argument by saying that she has de-
termined to become an old maid"
The Hon. Kelsie Siddons was leaning
forward, his strong, muscular hands
clasped loosely before him. a whimsical
smile on his lips.
"Oh, you will never die an old maid!
I will answer for THAR The smile
vanished. He resumed his stolid man
ner. But your refusal Of ne is final,

"Do I seem to be melting?" Helena
inquired. with a touch Of defiance
which comported Ill with the tumultu-
Gus beating Of her heart and a most an
noying feeling Of tremulousness about
her lips.
The man rose and went to the win
dow. Far off. across the park. arose
the big hotels on the plaza. their lofty
outlines seen obscurely through the
snowdrtft. The lights Of swiftly NOV
ing s1eighs and carriages down below
glimmered family, and above all and
through all trembled the unearthly
voice that Is never silent, though It
may speak IN various moods+the voice
that moIds into itself the cry Of human
JOY, the wall Of human sorrow, the roar
and crush and rush Of the million mind
less things that man has made to serve
his ends-the voice Of the great city.
II think" he said at last, and his
voice seemed to Helena to sound far
away, that I forgot to mention one
thing in my proposal. I should have
told you, perhaps, that love you, that
I've loved you since the day when
we first met that I'd rather have your
love than the power Of king or the
wealth Of a Croesus, that should
count It fine and wonderful beyond
all imagining-a moment to die for
II read in your eyes that you, too,
loved me. Not wishing to be beggar
Of love, Tve waited all these years to
be In a position to offer you the things
which I was bold enough to mention
as rendering me eligible for your
hand"
His voice had become provoktngly
low and husky. Now he turned to
her almost fiercely:
"You who are so collected and calm,
what can you know Of love and pas
sion? Now I realize that I've toiled
all these years in vatn-no, not wholly
vatnly, for I'm going to kiss you once
here, now-if it means the worst"
He caught her to him and rained
kisses upon her-her lips, her eyes,
her brow. When he released her It
was with the full consciousness that
he had committed an unforgivable
wrong. He stepped backward until
there Lay between them q broad strip
Of fire LIT rug.
But the woman held out her arms
to him, and the lashes Of her eyes
were wet
"Sweetheart," she whispered as she
crossed heE slim hands behind his
dark head and drew It down to her
level, why didn't you tell me that
you loved me at first? That was the
saving revelation"

Where Women Touch Thezr Hat

Where Women Touch Their Hats
Many years ago kissing was the most
common mode Of salutaton In Eng
land, while shaking the hand was con-
sidered an evidence OF the closest inti-
macy. Strangers would be kissed
where to shake their hands would have
been thought a most unwarrantab@e ia
miliarity. It Is, however, doubtful If In
any part OF the British isles women
touched their hats, as do the women OF
Cortna, a little town perched on
lofty peak Of the Doiomite Alps. The
women Of this quaint town touch their
hats like men on meeting an acquaint-
ance and remove them on entering q
church, placing them on the lodges In
front OF their seats. On leaving the
building they take their hats In their
hands and do not replace them until

Fire Wednesday Morning.

Yesterday morning about three O'Clock
the alarm of fire was sounded, and it was
found that the residence Of sDr. j. P. Ott
on Railroad Avenue, just above the old
Methodist church, was on fire. When dis
covered the flames had gained such head
way that it was impossible to save any Of
the furniture. The family had barely
time to escape with their lives, not even
the wearing apparel of any of the family
being saved.
A crowd quickly gathered, and while
attempts were made, nothing of any con
sequence in the way of furniture was
saved. The piano was rolled as far as
the front door, but had to be abandoned
there, where it was burned. The house
burned rapidly, and flying sparks endan
gered the residence of Mrs S. H. Counts
next door, but ladder was procured and
several men went up on her house anc
put out the sparks as they fell.
DR.. Otis loss is a heavy one, and hi:
many friends deeply sympathize with him
he had recently purchased the residence
paving $1,000 for it. The insurance or
the building is $1,100, and $500 on tht
furniture, neither of which will begin tt
cover the loss. The loss of the piano
alone amounts to nearly as much as tht
total insurance on furniture. In addition
| to this the Doctor lost his books and &C
counts and number of articles which
cannot be replaced.
The fire seemed to have originated ii
the ceiling of the dining room, and posi-
bly, might have been caused by rats. JUS
as soon as possible DR.. OFT will begin th'
erection of residence on the site of th'
former one.
