strictures of MT. Strauss.

Alderman Strauss spoke in favor of the Jackson amendment. He said there is less gambling going on now than there was fif- teen years ago He criticized the Chief of Police for his mercurial way of doing things, "arresting one saloon keeper now and then, when all the saloons run wide open on Sunday"
 Alderman Holloway spoke at length on the ordinance. He read the law to show that the Kohn amendment was imprac- ticable showing that every living room was castle. He did not think that the police would raid ladies' card parties.
 He urged the Council to give the Chief every assistance he asked for and then fl he didn't stop gambling in Montgomery to get chief who could. He told of boys who were ruined in gambling houses and urged the importance of breaking up these institutions.
 The Kohn amendment was lost. The ques- tion recurred on the minority report.

Monkeys Do waggish Things.

Recently monkey got the better of
the common enemy, the carrion crow,
by feigning illness, says the Lahore
Tribune. He was fastened to a bam-
DO pole with running ring When he
was on his perch the crows annoyed
him by stealing from his porringer on
the ground.
One morning they had been specially
disagreeable. He closed his eyes and
feigned bad illness. When his days
food was brought him the crows de-
scended upon it and he had scarcely
strength to defend it. By good acting
he managed to capture one or rhe
crows. To pluck it alive was the OBJ
vious course. Then, instead Of pulling
it to pieces, like the king monkey
whom Kipling and Sir Edward Buck
watched enjoying a similar triumph at
Simla, the monkey tossed the crow into
the air, where its own companions fell
upon it and killed it,
Monkeys certainly have a sense of
fun. Darwin used to spend hours
watching young female orang-outang
in the geological gardens, and was sure
that she had the comic sentiment. She
delighted to put upon her head, like a
cap, peculiar-shaped bowl, which
had droll effect, and she was sensi-
tive to the effect which her joke pro-
duced upon the spectators.

sturdy race who ac.....e on he
started i'm life without any wealth or
family influence to push him along.
His father was a farmer in small
way, but with big ideas as to the
value of education and he saw to if
that his boy got a good one. When it
came to the choice of a profession, the
lad elected medicine and obtained his
NJ. ID. degree from the University of
Edinburgh.
Being of an adventurous spirit and
anxious to see something of the world
instead of hanging out his shingle in
some country town and waiting for pa
tents to turn up he booked himself at
the colonial Office and was appointed
government medical officer at Sey-
chelles in 1873. A year later he was
transferred to Port Louis on the Isle
of Mauritius and in 1875 was made
chief medical officer for Fiji.
1t was at Fiji he proved himself
hero. The ship Syria, freighted with
coolies and their families, was wreck
ed on the Nasilai reef. He organized
the relief party and took command of
it. Repeatedly he swan to the wreck,
returning each time with man or
with a child in addition gripped by its
clothes between his teeth. In this
way he saved himself no less than 20
lives. 1t was feat that only man
of his immense physical strength as
well as courage could have accom-
plished. For this he received the
Clarke gold medal and values it far
higher than the TX. c. NJ. c., G. b."
which he is entitled to tack after his
name.
1t was at Fiji, too, that his talents
as an administrator were first discov-
cred and he was appointed receiver
general of the islands. That opened
up new career to him and he gave
up doctoring sick folk. In 1888 he
was made administrator of British
New Guinea. The New Guinea ns-
tives are about the worst lot of saw
ages under the control of the British
crown, most of them regarding it as a
waste of human life to Stay a man
without subsequently dining upon
him. But for ten years he ran the
British part of that big island, leaving
a record behind him that is a con-
spicuous example of what can be ac-
complished among the most intracta-
BILE people by a judicious combination
of firmness and moderation.
1t was to Lagos Sir William was
next dispatched as governor and this
post he held for four years, preserving
an even balance of justice to whites
and blacks and winning the esteem of
all classes.

and in ten minutes more were at the
suburban hill. where a few joyful
coasters still fingered.
Can you steer?" demanded Vir
ginia.
Unless I've grown old faster than

He took his place, she started the
hobs, and flung herself on behind them.

and then they stood at the bottom and
looked at each other, laughing.

THE LOVING DEAD.

We hold our sacred dead aloof,
We put them by like treasures old,
No more for them hearth or roof
But narrow dwellings lone and cold.
The dear, warm hearts that fell asleepl
Why shun them in secret thought:
Why even at a distance keep,
AS If some change in them wrought?
They cease not from their constant love.
They not strange and far away;
Their presences about us move
Closer than presences of clay.
How 1t must grieve them, when they come
Heart-close and find no welcome there!
Or whisper love, and find us dumb,
Forgetful hedged with servile carel
Oh, let us hold our dear ones close
Closer and closer, when they move
Beyond the veil! For one knows
The preciousness of human love!

in the hot rooms and the crowd, a
faint flush on his smooth cheek, and
a singular sparkle in his eyes,
When at last Lydia entertained
again, billiard found himself entering
the crowded rooms at the Dennings'

affairs had ever caused him. AS the
evening drew to a close and no Vir-

ped, with a rush of warm blood to his
heart With little cry of discounted
surprise Virginia tried to pass him,
but his tall, ad-shouldered figure
filled the doorway, and he stood de-
terminedly still.
But was this Virginia-this lovely
woman with the blushing face, the
sweet, bare neck and the trailing white
garments? A transformed and glori-

a joyful smile breaking over his grave
face. But with her head bent down

You didn't do it for me, then?" He
would not stand aside an inch. He
felt with a thrill that her sudden in |
tense shyness was far more significant |
than her appearance downstairs would |
have been. The thought swept him
off his feet.

breathed. ITS childish trick"

"Then why did you put them on?'
"I-you-Mr. Hilliardl" She raised
her head and tried to meet his look
with dignity. but the lashes fell be-
fore the light in his eyes.

You were willing to be comrades after
