The writer hereof expects to live to
see the time when the street railways
and electric lights in every American
city, and when the street cars in every
American town will be owned and
operated by the people. He expects
to see the time when insurance COM
panies will be controlled by the gov
ernment. just as banks are, when all
corporations will be semi-public bust
ness, and when the government will
say what is fair and equitable rate
for railroads to charge
For the thing is in the air. The
man who says he hopes for these
things is no longer regarded as so
cialist or a dreamer It is curious how
the world moves, and how the thing
which was the sign of weak mind
yesterday is the sign Of a strong mind
today 1t is noticeably odd that prae
tieally all the great newspapers Of the
east and most Of the well known writ
ers of the east who have any views al
all on social queStions, are permeated
with what ten years ago would have
been known as socialism.
The leading exponents Of current
tendencies in American economic
thought would have been called eranka
had they said IN the sos what they
are advocating openly now. A strong
group of decent, clean-lived, practical
young men who are prominent in the
ownership and the conduct Of the lead
ing American magazines, are frankly
taking up advanced positions ON social
and economic questions, and the peo
PIE are unconsciously imbibing a doc
TRUE which fifteen years ago would
have been called rank poison.
The world is moving very rapidly
and seems 70 be going in a definite di
reclion toward larger recognition OF
the practical partnership Of society
and the submergence, more and more
Of any mans private business into the
public good.

So Funny.


1t was late in the evening, as the
young student was vending his way
homeward from concert and passing
the house Of a wellknown physician.
At The side doorway was a speaking
tube, underneath which was the in
scription, whistle for DR.. Potts.
Not wishing to be disobliging about
SO small a matter, the student walked
up the steps and blew into the pipe
with all the strength in his lungs.
The physician. who was awakened
by the resultant shrill whistle near
his head, arose, groped his way to the
tube and shouted:
"Well?'

reply; "but, being doctor, l s'pose

Good Time for a Lecturer.

A wel!-hnown doctor of divinity and
a certain Methodist minister are great
friends, but they dearly love a joke at
each others expense. The former
once delivered series of lectures, and
one of ihem-on Palestine-was not
interesting enough to hold" the audi
ence, which gradually withdrew before
it's conclusion.
Not long afterwards the Doctors
house was entered by burglar. He
gave a graphic account of the affair to
his friend, the preacher, and ended by
saying:
II had him fiat on his back. held
him so that Se could not move an

the redoubtable Weasel. The receding
waters had done their best for him,
and he lay on his side, the dreadful
burn mercifully hidden. But the face
was still terrible sight, so dark and
swollen, and the eyes fact set in such
furious glare Of struggle and agony.
Almost at right angle, his feet
close to the Weasel's head, lay Tripp,
his limbs relaxed, his fingers inter
locked, eyes closed, the attitude and
expression those of one who, over
worked, has sunk into a welcome,
dreanless sleep.

CHAPTER xxxiii.

The day after the battle rose bright,
but still gusty, the great clouds scud'
ding before the wind, with intervals OF
turuuois showing between and beyond
them. The atmosphere was wonder
fully clear and the air Of delightful
freshness. From carly morning the
beach was alive with visitors. Clif1e
and Chidley and even Eppleton, al
most emptied their houses on this
great occasion. Personally conducted
by those who were lucky enough to
have been present al the fray, the Wis
itors wandered from the cottages to
the quarry and back to the cottages.
These, of course. were the center or
attraction, but the beach was well
/ >scoured for memeRtos. and two or
three boats put of. in spite Of the still
turbulent sea, to investigate from q
safe distance the face of Wedge Hill
and the mysterious channel. Almost
all the notables were there. The vicar
left his Targums, and Mrs. Champion
her preserve pots. and DR.. Catell his
Phar7nacopoeia. Mr.. Lcife was the
hero Of the occasion, and there vas
quite chronmatic competition be.
tween his bushes and his bruises. He
was. however, in the seventh heaven
of delight, for pretty Miss Catell made
no secret of her admiration for his
conduct. of which at least half dozen
widely different accounts were in cur
rency. ...
Lieut.. Postlethwaitc was on the spot
to see about the confiscated goods. and
at DR.. Champions invitation agreed to
make the vicaragc his headquarters
for the day until the civil authorities
arrived from Exeter to claim the pris-
.ncrs.
Nellie Champion. of course. was
here, there and everywhere, and, al
most for the first time, Mr.. Leife found
her attentions just trife unseason-
able. At length, however. DR.. Cate!l
carried off his niece after engaging
the happy curate for that evening, ana
then Nell found herself fully restored
to her usual place of honor
Let us go round to the Cruddle,
shall we?' she said. There are SO
many people here and the yall say the

The curatc was quite Of her opinion,
now that the Doctors ncice was gone.
Accordingly they climbed the Cap,
struck into the Cliffe road, and turned
up towords the quarry mouth.
"And it was Phil who showed you
the way!" said Nell. Fancy poor
Phil! But I believe he used to sleep
down there sometimes; I'm sure he

1t had long been known to the fish
ermen that there were openings on
either side of Wedge Hill, but the COM
munication between the two had been
GY& and burrowed by Tripp and his
men, who had also carved the rude
steps and the opening that led into a
large inner cave. This, when investi-
gated by daylight, proved to be ad
mirably adapted for the purposes to
which it had been put. 1t was practi-
cally inaccessible except to those in
the secret; it had two ,eXits, one into
the narrow channel and the other into
the first inlet on the east side Of the
Wedge; and it abounded in lodges and
recesses which might almost have
been designed for storage. One OF the
singular finds in this cave was a gun,
apparently taken from some ship and
probably too heavy to be worth TAX
ing away.
It would appear that the Weasefs
ned in the eleventh hour. Tripp no
doubt had heard from the curate that
DR.. Champion and his sister would be
out. and the coast enticingly clear. The
letter which was taken up by Weasel
.Iotn for the vicar, and forwarded to
him st DR.. Catell's. was quite curl
osity, and is so now, in an even great
.r degree. Thus it'runs:

NOV; Nance Perratt lived al the eX-
1reu,o end of Cllffe, more than two
miles from the vicarage, and doubtless
the letter was written not only as an
excuse fer the Weasel to make a pre-
liminary observation, but also with the
hope of keeping Dr.. Champion at Il
safe distance for an hour or two.

NEW YORK, Feb 6-There Is no
longer any doubt that Christopher
Smith, alias Sand Rock, is the hold
up man. wanted for most of the daring
robberies which created terror in the
Fifth avenue residential district here.
He was identified positively by seven
of his victims. and he is said to have
made a confession to the police. Smith,
who is only nineteen years old, seems
to have been inspired not by dime
novels, like the usual youth. but by
i'll digested Socialistic and anarchistic
literature. His efforts TO bring about
a more equal distribution Of wealth
brought him in contact with the law.

ROBBERY THE MOTIVE.
Chief Kieiy Says Wood Was Hungry
For Money.

For Money.
PLAINFIELD, n. j., Feb. 6.-Rob-
berry is the motive advanced by Police
Chief Kiely of this city for the muir
der of George Williams, the village
grocer at Watching. The chief is firm
in the belief that George II. Wood. now
held in New York city to await extra
dition, was the murderer.
wood was financially embarrassed"
said the chief. "He was hungry for
money, and when he found himself in
sleigh with prosperous country
storekeeper on lonely road he took
a desperate chance to rob him. After
he fired the shot something, some
sound probably. alarmed him, and he
gave way to panic. He fed without
minutes hesitation, leaving the body
undisturbed as ii was found. | be-
lieve he came to Plainfeld with muir
derous intent and went into the town
ship after somebody, possibly his
grandmother. | don't believe that II
was Williams, because it was only
through combination of circum-
stances that couldn't have been ar
ranged that Williams went with him.
He was money hungry, as | said, and
simply took the chance ut Williams on
the superstition that he might have
enough money to make it worth while"
While there are many who agree with
Chief Kiely, there are others who are
looking for another motive and believe
that n third person may be implicated
in the crime. The most intimate
friends of Williams declare that he
was Of most even temperament and
that it was almost impossible to get
him angry.
