Tom and Dick were two poor little
waits. From morning till night they
roamed the streets Of the great city.
Tom was the older and always took
the lead in everything. He was
bright-eyed, handsome boy, in spite OF
his dirty face and tattered clothes.
He had taken care Of himself ever
since he could remember First he
had begged, but having been born with
faculty for getting along in the
world he sold a few matches, bought
with his first savings. He knew he
could polish shoes, but he never had
a chance to try. He wished he could
have a peanut stand, but he was only
a little boy and that ambition seemed
to him as lofty and unattainable as
the stars. Meanwhile he plodded
along, putting on as brave face as
he could when he was hungry, and
whistling when bread was plenty.
He believed living was to be had
for the asking If anybody would work,
but when Dicks mother died and he
was left all alone in the world, he
wondered what would become of him,
for Dick could not talk, consequently
he was unable to ask for work. Then
he was not so old as Tom and did not
know how to do anything; added to
this Tom loved Dick better than any
thing or anybody else in the world, so
he opened his arms and said:
"Come, Dick, I'll take care. Of you,
and we'll live together.
Now this was not very munifcent
offer, for Tom lived nowhere or any
where. Some nights he slept in an
old box behind great warehouse, or
In doorway If he could get in there
unobserved When the weather was
warm, he lay down in one of the
small parks where the grass was soft
and the trees waved over his head.
Next to Dick he loved the trees. II he
had known anything about heaven
he would have said it must be full Of
trees and that one might live under
them forever He would lie on his
back watching the moon glide slowly
upward, with the leaves dancing
across its shining face and dream of
the village where he was born and
which he only remembered as one
recalls dimly a beautiful dream of a
far off unknown country. However,
such as he had he offered to Dick and
it was joyfully accepted. Protection
and love are gifts not to be despised.
Selling few matches would hardly
feed two, and Tom, with ready inven-
ton tried other means of livelihood.
He bought harmonica and learned a
few of the popular airs he heard the
hand organs play. He had often
danced on the pavement in the even
ing with the other children to the
music of those same hand organs, and
he set to work to teach Dick to dance.
The loss of one faculty often quickens
the others and soon the two chums

USE FOR INCLINED ELEVATORS.
English Port Has Four Labor Savers
in Operation.

The latest application of the inclined
elevator, more commonly known as
the moving stairway, is found in a
freight elevator for carrying trunks,
mail bags and boxes between steam.
ers and wharves. This elevator, which
is practically a gangplank and can be
shifted about, contains within itself
the entire apparatus, including the
electric motor
Its floor, instead of being composed
of planks, is a movable platform.
There are only four such elevators
now in use in the world, and these are
all at Dover. England Steamship
men at this port are considering its
use here.
Another use of the inclined elevator
Is in stores, from basement to side
walk. On it men with hand trucks
and with rolling boxes or baskets are
carried, as well as merchandise.
Another novel use for the inclined
elevator has been found in England, at
seaside resorts on its southern coast.
Here, in many places, the beach runs
from high bluffs, from which visitors
must descend by stairs to reach the
shore. At a number of these places
inclined elevators have been installed

MEASURES THAT ARE STANDARD
Much Care Taken to Preserve Them

A gallon is exactly ten pounds OF
distilled water; SO when housewives
say "a pint's a pound the world
around" they are mistaken. The I'M

same as our own, is the distance be-
tween two fine lines on bar OF
bronze, measured at 62 degrees Fan

eight rollers in a special steel safe in
London. The standard pound is kept
in a silver-gilt box contained in 9

in a special compartment Of the same
safe. The German metric system
took the place of more than twenty
local measures. The Hesse-Darmstadt

than fifteen.

Cause of Ocean Tides.

Tides are caused by the gravita-
tional attraction or pull Of the sun
and moon upon the water, and upon
the earth itself The moon being so
much nearer than the sun, is, Of
course, the principal cause. When
the moon is directly over given
place it pulls the water under it, and
thus tends to keep up tidal wave
just under the moon At the same
time it is pulling the earth itself; but
1t pulls the water more than the earth
underneath, simply because the moon
is nearer to the water on the surface
than it is to the solid earth behind it.

BAXTER'S SIpE oF THE CASE
District Attorney Explains Details of
His Connection with Prose

District Attorney Baxter today declared
himself further on the Bartlett Richards
case as follows:
Il notice a press dispatch from washing

over Richards Case In said item appears
the following statements: According to
an item in the New York Sun, District At
torney Baxter some time ago advised the
Department Of Justice to nolle prosequi
the case against Richards. but the reply
was a rebuke from the attorney general
This statement is absolutely false. l never
at any time recommended or advised a
nolle prosequi TO be entered in the Bart
lett Richards case, nor even suggested
same to the attorney general, nor have
ever received from the attorney general a
rebuke as to said matter.
"As to the further item as follows: Sub
sequently the district attorney proposed a
compromise with the law breakers but he
was instructed to go ahead and prosecute
the case vigorously As to this will say
that counsel for Richards and Comstock
made a proposition to at once remove all
of their fences, provided after such re-
moval the indictments against them be
dismissed. refused to entertain this prop
osition and referred the matter to the
attorney general for action, stating that
I saw no objection to such course. He
declined the proposition and did instruct
a vigorous prosecution.
"As to the statement in said article,
Now the department officers understand
that the district attorney himself repre-
scented to the Judge that there was no evil
dence of bad faith and that it was upon
this representation that Judge Munger de-

that made no such representation to the

necton which l made at all was that the
special agents had informed me that Rich
