No man is more unreservedly called

conscience is usually clear, his motives
disinterested. his knowledge of human
nature comprehensive, his sense of
humor keen and his knowledge of his
traducers complete.-Louisville Times

A LITTLE SERMON.

There are a lot of people who I'M

agement in the joint business from us.

like trooper. He has had a little ex-
perience with third in the manner Of

and his wife supports him. Now the
jointkeeper has made it a point to be
strictly square in, business matters, he
himself don't drink liquor or intoxi-
cants of any kind, neither smokes or
chews and seldom swears. treats his
family kindly and supplies them lib
orally, is a good fellow, public spirited

Some curious light was thrown on a
little known act of parliament at an
inquest held at st. Pancras on the
body of Susan Estall. a child of six,
and an inmate of the Founding hos
pital. The child died of tetanus re-
sulting from broken arm. and the
jury returned n verdict of accidental
death.
The evidence showed that Susan
EstalI' was the name bestowed upon
the child by the governors of the hos
pital on admission, under an act of
parliament passed in 1873. This act
obliged the governors to discard the
name given to the child by its parents
at baptism, and to give the infant a
new Christian name and surname
The stewards of the hospital added
that the records of the correct names
of children were kept under lock and
seal by the governors. The hospital
was the parent of all foundlings ad-
mitted until they reached the age of
twenty one. Overseers and other local
officials had no powers in the hospital.
Another curious piece of information
supplied by the steward was that ''the
property of all soldiers who die at war
passes to the possession of the hos
pital."-London Mail.

HOME LOYALTY.

1t is stated in one of the papers that
one OF the state officers at Topeka does
not shave himself nor get shaved IN
Topeka, but waits until he gets home
in order to have his home barber shave
him. The name of the state officer is
not given, nor do we intend to publish
our guess. But aside from personal
privilege and private reasons, 1t is good
politics to some extent. The stubble
on his face may give him rather
tough appearance in the capital city,
but when he gets off the train and
walks up the street in his home town,
his townspeople will remark on his
unchanged and very natural appear
ance, and his neishbors and friends
will admire him for his loyalty to the
home barber, and besides he will keep
in touch with the barber shop crowd,
and the barber shop crowd is no small
influence in the party caucus If any
one thinks the said state officer wears
bristles on his face from a sense of
economy. or in defiance of society. or
the administration, they are mistaken.

Fable.

Tnere once lived a girl who was a
great theorist She had theories on
housekeeping, diet, education, dress
ana love, which she took great delieht
in expounding to her family and
friends.
NOW, it so happened that, during a
solourn in a distant city, she met a
very nice young man who became
ehanoured of her and whose affection
sne was inclined to return But as
she had pet theory concerning en-
gagements, she withheld definite an
sWer to his entreaties that she become
MS wife, and said:
although / love you, cannot an
swer you in the affirmative until vour
aHectlon for me has undergone a test
rom what you have told me of YOUR
SELF. you have associated but little with
girls. How, then, can you be sure
IIidt your love for me will endure {?
therefore leave me for one month
during which time no communication
snail pass between us; associate with
other girls as much as possible, and
IL at the end of that time your heart
is still true to me 1 shall become yours
for all time
The young man protested and
pleaded with all the ardor of love, but
the theorist remained firm in her de-
cision. Finally the lover babe her a
compact.
The weeks went by and the end of
the month came. The theorist, who
by this time, it must be confessed, had
become exceedingly lonesome for the
nice young man. attired herself in her
most becoming frock and awaited with
f1uttering heart his coming.
A bounding step was heard on the
porch The theorist sprang to the
door. A messenger boy handed her a
telegram. It read:

October Smart set.r

William R. Lighton, the author of When Cupid Came to Nine-Bar." the novelette, which opens the October Smart Set, has written a story of Wyoming which is full of western atmosphere and presents fine picture of the healthy, in- vigorating life of that section of our coun- try. Steve Brinard, the hero, will take his place beside the notable characters which writers like Bret Harte have given us. The story is a refreshing de- parture from the vapid literature of the day.
 Of the short stories which enrich this issue of The Smart Set. none is more entertaining than Edna Kentons The Mordant."

Popular Magazine.

Cutcliffe Hyne, Morgan Robertson and Francis Lynde are possibly little better known than the ten or twelve other writ CTS who have stories in the October Pop ular Magazine, but the work of all is so uniformly good that these three gentle men have no reason to be ashamed of the company they are in. Cutcliffe Hynes series .'The Trial of Commander Me Turk" has an American naval officer for it's hero, and the indications are that he will outdo even the immortal Captain Kettle in point of popularity. "The Em- pire Builders" the complete novel by Francis Lynde, is a story of novel type. The new serial, "The Girl of the Third Army" is the tale of a young woman who tries her hand as a war correspon- dent in the far east, and is said to be founded on fact. The author is George Bronson H oward, who served for some time in Manchuria newsgatherer for one of the great London dailies. There are four other serials by well-known writers, and wide variety of short stories on varying themes. Told in Stageland," a collection of bright little stories of theatrical life told by we'll known Thespians, and some other inter- Thespians, and some other interesting miscellany, complete the number.
