doing and see how long you'll be able to hold your job" T don't want to lose my job,' said Kinweiser. T had too much trouble getting it."
 Then slow down." advised Roder. Quit when it's quitting time or little before and don't be in too much of a sweat to get down on time in the morn- ing. Let the shelves alone. You're en- try clerk, ain't you? Then you ain't got nothing to do with the stock. And don't be afraid of making mistakes. If was you I'd make a few. Williter would think all the more of you.' Maybe you're right" said Kinweis- CT, thoughtfully.

 You're all right" grinned Roder. Kinweiser took that view of it him. self, so it was a distinct surprise to | him when, at the end of his fifth week with the firm, Burkman called him into the office and told him that he would have no further use for his services. The young man could only gasp with the shock.
 I'm sorry" said Burkman, rather moved with compassion at his distress. ] ''Mr. Williter reported very favorably of you at first He said you were quick and seemed to be trying to learn and | taking an interest in the business. 1 Still he thought it might be a case of new broom, and the way you've 1 dropped off in the last week of two shows that that was the correct as- sumption
 Tt wasn't" declared Kinweiser.' q was interested and I meant to work l hard, onIy-I-I thought" T thought I wasn't wanted to that is, I was told" "Well?"
 Kinweiser was silent. Perhaps Roder | had meant well.
 What made you think you weren't wanted to?''
 MT. Williter didn't act as if he was pleased with me-"
 Do you mean that he didn't nat you on the back every time you did what you were hired to do? tell you. young man, if you start out with the idea that you've got to have a lump of sugar every time you do your tricks you'll never amount to a row of pins Goodl1 men aren't so scarce as you may think, and if you want to succeed you've got to hustle
 If you would only give me another trial" pleaded Kinweiser.
 We'll said Burkman, Ego back to your desk and we'll see."
 What's the trouble?" asked Roder, maliciously, as Kinweiser climbed upon his stool.
 Nothing much" replied Kinweiser. ''T made fool of myself, but Pm get ting wise already. ."-Chicago News.

MUNrCrpAL 1NDEBTEDNEsS.

In the United States there are one hundred and seventy-five cities each having a population of 25,00O or more, with an aggregate bonded indebtedness of LISA, ,578, ,7S3-larger than the bonded indebtedness of the United States and approximately one-third of the bonded indebtedness of Russia. Excluding the bonded indebtedness of Greater New York, the average bonded indebtedness of the American city with a population of 25,000 or more is a fraction in excess of $40O0,O00, incurred for extravagant purposes-as in Philadelphia and St. Louis-and in others for parks, streets public buildings, sewerage, schools, penal institutions and general improve ments.
 Whether incurred for the first of the two purposes or~for the other the in- debtedness is enormous, and, unfortu- nately, the tendency is to an increase of municipal indebtedness rather than to a decrease. Not all projected im- provements improve. The fad of mu- nicipal ownership running in some of the cities of the United States will be found to be one of the great causes for the increase. Another moving cause is to be found in the indifference of the average American citizen, too busily engaged with his individual or corpor- ate interests to take note of the manner in which the great corporation in which he is vitally interested-the city-is be- ing managed.
 Seven of the States rejoice in the absence of bonded ndebtedness-Illi- nois, Iowa, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ore- gon, West Virginia and Ohio-and more ought to.

- QUEER DOINGS.

Haven't wives any rights, and must they suffer such impertinence as has lately been heaped on them in the courts? Only the other day, Gussie Trouts of Cincinnati, who is a Daugh- ter of America, and the wife of a Mir. Trouts, was told in open court by Judge Leuders that she shouldn't go to 'the lodge in such way as to interfere with her husbands having a warm supper when he came home from work. And the judge was audacious enough to declare that man had a right to expect a warm supper. As if this were not enough. a Brooklyn Police magistrate has done more. Tn a case before him young married man asked the magistrate to compel his wife to learn to comb her own hair. He said he had always been compelled to do it for her ever since their marriage, but that it made him late to work and consequently decreased his earnings. The magistrate sentenced the wife to undergo a course of training in the Wayside Home.
 We'll, well! What next? Probably some judge will soon be saying that a married man is entitled to love from his wife.

THE INITIATION OF KTNWEIsER.
 When young Kinweiser got his job as entry clerk in Burkmans notion house he made up his mind that by display ing unremitting zeal and industry he would please his employer. But al- though he had done his best, had tried to familiarize himself with the Stock, dusted the shelves, voluntarily re- mained after hours to finish work that might properly have been deferred un- til the next day-although he had done all these things and many others out side of his proper field of work, Burk- man apparently had taken no totice of him. Not only that, but the order clerk, Williter, his superior, appeared to look upon him with disfavor. At least, he showed no signs of approval
 It hurt Kinweisers feelings, He had always heard that bright. energetic young men were bound to be apprecia- ted, and he had certainly been energet- ic. As for brightness" Roder, who made the bills from the same "call'' as he and then checked up with him after the "call back" had made three errors to his one. Roder was smart youth, too-smart enough to try to make 1t ap- pear that the mistakes had been Kin weiser's.
 Kinweiser redoubled his efforts Still Williter maintained his gruff manner and Burkman passed and repassed the entry desk without seeming aware of the existence of the young man who worked there. Kinweiser was thor oughly disgusted. He felt the necessi- ty of freeing his mind about it to some one, so he took Roder into his confi- dence.
 Roder heard him to the end and then grinned.
 Smoke up!" he said. You're a chump if you don't see what's the trouble.''
 What is it?" asked Kinweiser.
 "Williter's got it in for you.'
 "Why?" asked Kinweiser dondering. ly.
 Didn't you ever hear about the fel- low that worked himself out of job?" asked Roder with his expansive grin. That's where you are going to get left. You're trying to make yourself tco use- full. You know blamed near as much about the stock now as Willitar does. You called him down on the price of them coat springs the day before vest. day-and you've called me down once or twice."
 What if did 5 said Kinweiser, we don't want mistakes made, do we?"
 That's all right" sa;1 Ioder. ''That's all right, that part of it, but the man who makes the mistakes ain't going to feel extry good about it. I don't care myself, but Wii'ter doesn't want anybody around that's smarter than he is. He sees you starting out to , make 8 record and he thinks you stand pretty good show of getting his job. He doesn't get here before the ware house is unlocked in the morning and stay after six o'clock when there's a rush, and if he doesn't do it himself he doesn't want nobody else to do it and get showed up over his head"
 Do you think that's it '' asked Kin weiser doubtfully.
 You keep right on the way you are

NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH.

All the great powers seem to be afraid that they may not be powerful enough when the test comes, but they mean to try to be. In a recent speech on Imperial defense Lord Roberts de- clared that in case of war with Russia England would require 5O0OO0 men, whereas under the existing organiza- tion of the British army not more than 100000 could be supplied. Perhaps some 5O,OOO militia, 5O,GOO volunteers and 30,- 900 colonial troops might be raised, but there would still be 170000 lacking. There is no option," the late com mander-in-ch chief held, but to introduce universal training and service for home defense" Tn another speech in the House<of Lords the commander-in-chief stated that this country is as abso- lutely unfitted and unprepared for war as it was in 1S99-190O' when in the first six months but 100000 regulars could be sent to South Africa in properly organized condition.
 The fact that Russia, notwithstand- ing the war with Japan, still keeps a large army on the frontier of Afghanis- tan explains Lord Roberts solicitude and accounts for General Kitcsleners determination to convert his Indian army into a real fighting force.

Henry A. Ely, of the New York de-. partment, junior vice. commander of the United Spanish War Veterans, re- gently wrote to the President asking that the government allow $2 month extra compensation to holders of the Dewey and West Indies campaign badges. This letter has been referred to the War department and the Gen eraI Staff has forwarded a reply to the President to the effect that the medals ill question were issued by the Navy department for service in the war with Spain, and that none of the medals
 mentioned or other medals carry extra compensation. In the army neither the
 medal of honor nor the campaign badge carried extra compensation, but they are regarded as distinctions and valued accordingly. Certificates of merit awarded to enlisted men who have dis tinguished themselves in service, though not necessarily in battle, carry g a month extra pay. The impression is that the holders of the medals in question should not receive extra com pensation, but it was recommended by the General Staff in it's letter to the President that Mr. Ely's letter be refer red to the Navy department.

A French, writer tells how Peking is lighted, astfollews: Eighty thousand taels ($5O,400) is assigned each year for street lights: the official in charge takes 10000 as his share, and gives the rest to a subordinate. This latter hands over 10000 to his inferior, and so on, until the original sum is reduced to a few copper cash, given to coolie to buy oil and a wick; these are placed on a plate on the ground. A beggar comes along and drinks the oil-and such is the lighting of Peking.''

There are several ways to live long. About sixteen months before his death (at 1OD Senator David Wark of Fred ericton, N. B., wrote letter about his way of living. For breakfast, he said, he had oatmeal porridge and milk, to which he had always been accustomed, with slice of plain bread and a cup of black tea. For many years he had eaten neither beef, mutton nor pork, but took a little fish or fowl at 1 o'clock, with another cup of tea. At 6 o'clock a slice of bread and cup of tea once more constituted his evening meal. He ate neither pie nor pudding
 and drank nothing stronger than tea" Il,

"a Royal slave.r

"A Royal Slave" Is one of the most
elaborate and beautiful melodramatic
productions on the road. The scenery
Is the finest that the studios can fur
nish and is painted from photographs
made in Mexico. The costumes and
sage accessories are very rich and
powerful and thrilling dramatic stu
alions, make the play series Of beau
tifmi stage pictures. Though 1t is q
melodrama Of the sensational sort,
there is not shot fired during the en-
lire play, and 1t Is possessed of real
literary and dramatic merit of high
order.
This great production presents more
than half years work by an able
corps OF scenic artists and skilled me-
chanics, and will give our people
chance to see, not only the beautiful
scenic equipment, but decidedly the
most original play on the stage of this
country. /,
1t is something to be able to say
that at least we can herald new play,
full of new ideas, situations and start
ling effects. Suctr is. true, however,
of the forthcoming production of "a
Royal Slave" which is put on in a
most artistic manner, complete in ev-
cry detail. Mr.. Harry Gordon has al
ways brought us the finest attractions
and he assures us this is his best. The
play will shortly be seen at the Grand
Opera House Saturday. matinee and
