A bill has been introduced in the
legislature which will probably be
hailed with delight by attorneys, in
case of its passage. It provides fee
of S25 for attorneys who defend
pauper criminals, to be paid by the
counties. Its passage will no doubt
increase the number of pauper crimi-
nails very greatly.

About the Contents

This magnificent library contains
about 1900 pages of text, clearly and
beautifully printed on heavy paper.
Within its covers are found nearly
sixty stories, representing the best
work of over fifty of the great Amer
lean writer's (see list above). These
stories are veritable gems Of literature.
Every story is complete in itseIf-not
fragmentary, as in many so-called
libraries" American literature of
the present day is really the best, as
well as the highest priced, pro-
duced in the world, simply be-
cause American authors are writing
pure, terse, vigorous English, and
develop their plots with skill and
power without undue prolixity. 1t is
the cream of these stories only which
has gone into the Library of Amer
lean Fiction" and the list of authors
given above will show how enor-
mously valuable is such library in a
home where the mothers wish tt cir
children early to form correct taste in
literary matters. 1t is not too much
to say that in variety of style, in rich
ness of interest, and in real value in
the home, this set of books is abso-
lutely unequaled, and we strongly
and urgently recommend it to our
readers.

Trivial Conditions That Have Led Up
to Self Destruction.

Trivial Conditions That Have Led Up
to Self Destruction.
1t is a strange fact that nearly all
great men have tinge of melancholy
in their blood and are subject at times
to periods of great depression. Napo-
leon at the beginning of his career was
III great financial distress and was pre-
vented from drowning himself only by
the timely pecuniary aid of a school,
mate. Bismarck is said to have de-
clared after the battle of Sadowa that
he would have killed himself had the
Prussians been beaten, and Byron
while writing "Childe Harold declared
he would have blown his brains out
but for the reflection that it would give
pleasure to his mother-in-law.
The reasons for self destruction are
often very curious. Men have frequent
ly been known to put an end to their
lives to escape toothache or other
pains, while the dread of disease has
been known to infect the mind to such
an extent that the victim has destroyed
himself rather than face it. WEAKNESS
Of money. and good things to eat have
been the cause of suicide. One man
drowned himself in the Seine because
Of the color of his hair, which was
faXen, and another shot himself be-
cause his clothes did not fit him. A girl
threw herself into the Danube because
her companions laughed at her corpu-
lence, and Frenchman took poison to
spite his mother-in-law because she in
sisted upon living with him.

CARRYING MONEY.
The Wide Difference There L. In Men
In This Pnrticular.


In This Particular.
Did you notice." said man to
friend with whom lie was dining,
that young fellow at the next table
who just left: He reminded me Of the
difference there is III people when 1t
comes to carrying money. That youth
had roll Of bills as big as his arm,
and he wanted everybody to see them,
although he made believe to hide them.
They were mostly ones and fives. His
check was 40 cents, but lie paid with
n five. Then when lie ordered Il cigar
out came the accumulation of life
time again, and he handed the waiter
another five. II he has his shoes shined
he'll break five dollar bill and keep OIL
until he has nothing but ones and
twos. He likes to give folks the I'm
preston that his capital is enormous,
although it isn't, judging from his APP
pearance. Then there's the man who
always has $500 or 5000 in his pocket,
but it's III an inside pocket and it's in
big denominations-tifties and hun
dreds. He seldom shows any real
money. He has small bills handy for
ordinary use, but he doesn't mean to be
caught. II there's IN argument with
a bet in it he can put up on the spot.
And good many men don't carry
enough money to scrape through the
day. You'll find millionaires who have
to turn themselves inside out to settle
for n car fare. Some lug what call
rheumatism money in every pocket. It's
SO twisted and deformed and out of
shape that you can't count it unless
you smooth it over with hot flatiron.
Others fold their money neatly. There
are all kinds, but as rule the chap
WHO pulls out a bloated collection Of dol
lar bills is carrying every penny he has
in the world and good deal more than
he'll have many hours unless he's care
