Bottled Money Thrown Away.

"While walking through the West.
chester County hills looking for dog
wood last Sunday" said Harlem
grocer, Il came upon an acquaintance
who was with party picknicking on
a shady hillside. Introductions were in
order and was asked to have bottle
of soda. Five of us clinked bottles
and disposed Of their contents without
the aid Of glasses. AS each man fin.
ished lis bottle he threw it down the
hill into clump Of bushes. They We're
good, sound, patent-stopper bottles
that it costs five cents each to manu-
facture.
Don't you take the bottles home
with you:' I inquired.
"My host looked at me in amazemeIt
I should say not he said: it is hare
enough to carry three dozen out here
without Juggling the bottles all the way
back. I never knew anybody to de
that
Il lose on an average a gross OF
bottles each week during the summer
from my two stores, for which I have
to make good to the wholesaler. We
make a pretense Of asking for de,
post on the bottles when we deliver
a case. But when q woman makes
a fuss about it the boy on the wagon
valves the deposit rather than bring
the bottles back to the store and risL
losing a customer. Verify, if man
wants to find out the inside workings
of his own business he must wander
| far a-feld from it"-New York Press.

THE ANSWERING CHORD.
BY SAEN1E BYRD TURNER.

The city's tumult surges high
Here in this noisy, struggling street;
With fretful voice and hurried feet
The restless morning march goes by.
A thousand sounds are born and die,
But one, that will not faint nor fail,
Keeps up its slow monotony-
An old street-organ's plaintive wall.
"A begear, tremulous and blind,
Is playing dreary airs that must
Earn from the world daily crust
As long as weary hands can grind;
But scant the wages that they find,
For nowhere in the jostling throng
Are lives with leisure left to heed
The crnde petition of song.
Chatter and rush and dust and CRIME
And the hot tired morning done.
But not listener had they won
The faulty tune, the halting time;
When with the sudden MONDAY chime
From out the jingling medley come,.
Like words of comfort healing pain.
The tender notes of Home, Sweet Home .
e'There is no place like home" he says.
The old, forsaken, homeless man,
With soul too worn and warped to span
The pathos of the thing he plays
ana somewhere IN the CROWDED ways
Men hear old, silent voices sing,
And. spite the currents onward sweep,
Falter a while, remembering.
'eNo place, no place like home"-the word
Grows faint and fainter down the street,
And somewhere slower pass the feet.
And somewhere sudden tears are stirred,
And dim, far whisperincs are heard
In hearts that deemed them surely dead;
And one petitioner has gained
The penny for his daily bread.
Youths Companion.

Thomas w. Lawson Of Boston was
the guest Of the Minneapolis CONNER

spoke before 300 members Of the

the utmost respect was paid to him
by his hearers. He said in part: :

"I have several Millions" he said,
"but 1 haven't any mors than I am

versational tone, devoting his time to
answering a series of questions pro-

"Do sit down and let's talk about

Miss Raveline reluctantly sat down,
and glanced apprehensively down the

M. ..!NITTE CHIEF ENVOY.
Greatest Of All Russian Diplomats Ap.
pointed by Czar Nicholas Head
of Peace PIenipotentiaries.- --

A st. Petersburg special says: En-
peror Nicholas has signed the ap-
pcintment Of NJ. Witte, president Of
the committee Of ministers, to be
chief plenipotentiary representing the
Russian government in the peace ne'
gotiations to succeed M. Muravieff,
resigned. The appointment clothes M.
Witte with plenary powers. Official
notification of the designation Of NJ.
Wtitte to head the mission was for
warded to Washington Thursday morn.
ing. NJ. Wftte will take passage on
the North German Lloyd steamer Kai-
ser Wilhelm der Crosse, which sails
from sCherhourg; July 26.
It has been intimated that Japan
formally objected to certain utter
ances attributed to NJ. Muravief, re-
flecting upon the Japanese nation, but
inquiries made so far have failed to
obtain any confirmation Of the rurnor.
The peace party Is overjoyed at the
fact that negotiations have been
placed in NJ. Whites hands. It is
the firm belief that this not only IN
sures a successful termination of the
negotiations, but that NJ. Witte will
secure the best possible terms for
his country. Some Of the grand dukes
and courtiers of the emperor's entour-
age, however, are reported to be furl-
Gus at NJ. Whites selection. =,
Sergius Witte may be regarded a.
the leading liberal statesman OF Rus
sia. For the last thirteen years ne
has been one of the strongest per-
scnalities IN the Russian bureaucracy
although his political fortunes sur
fered a setback when he was COM
PEELED to resign the portfolio OF minis
ter of finance, in August, 1903, and
again when, after being appointed as
nresident of the council Of ministers
IN the same month, his Office grad
ually lost its importance, until rumor
of his intention to resign and go
abroad had been persistently circulat-
ed. Wftte is about Sc years old and
has steadily worked his way up from
the position of an underpaid railroad
clerk. who occasionally acted as por-
ter, to that Of the leading statesman
Of Russia, in spite of the fact that
his enemies are numerous and include
some Of the most powerful men IN
Russia. A man of large stature, pig
limbed and muscular, standing over
six feet high, Witte has the reputa-
ton of being harsh to his subero!'
mates. but his honesty and ability have
never been doubted even by his worst
enemies. He was created a count IN
1901.
NJ. Witte is thoroughly familiar
with the Far Eastern question in all
Of it's bearings. He understands the
japanese position and fully realized
before the war that the aggressive
policy being pursued under the lead
of Viceroy Alexieff and NJ. Bezoora-
zoff. president Of the Yalu Flmoer
company, and the coterie Of adventur-
ers connected with them. would cause
Japan to take up the sword. At one
time Witte talked over the situation
with Marquis Ito, president of the
Japanese privy council and one OF the
LOADING statesmen of Japan Practi-
cally it was Whites disapproval OF
Russia's Far Eastern policy and the
creation Of a viceroyalty in the Far
Fast which caused his downfall as
minister Of finance.
