An Example Of Pathos.

Bliss Perry, the new occupant of the
chair of English at Harvard. said of
pathos recently:
"A good example of pathos came
within the experience of Boston
clergyman.
"A Boston fisherman had lost his
little son, a boy of 4, his only child.
and the poor fellow was we'll nigh
beside himself with grief. The clergy
man went to see him.
AS the clergyman talked to him, the
bereaved father wept. His grief in
tensified itself The clergyman, before
such parental suffering. was more and
more moved,
"And suddenly, rocking himself to

brown cheeks. the fisherman said in
a voice hYsse and broken with emo

Vivid IMAGINATION.

Partisan correspondents have been
listening to some queer yarns told by
members Of Sarah Bernhardt's COM
pany after their return from the
United States. One man declared that
on the banks of the Mississippi he saw
a child riding an alligator. In place
of whip the infant had long STICK
with a piece of meat at the end of it,
which he held Just in front of the alli-
gators smile to induce him to hurry.
At Chattanooga the inhabitants offered
to lynch a colored citizen if Sarah
and her troupe would wait and see it
done. At San Francisco one of the
troupe had long talk with a young
woman who had been living on the top
floor of hotel when the earthquake
occurred. The earth opened and swal-
lowed up all the hotel except the Chin
neys, and II, was through the chimney
of her room that the young woman
escaped.

No Room for Argument.


Connie Mack, the noted baseball
man was talking in Philadelphia about
the importance Of silence.
NO ball player" he said to the
group of young men around him, "ac-
complishes anything by being noisy.
II decision goes against a player,
if the umpire is unfair. let him keep
quiet. Let him refrain from oaths,
shouts. accusations. Noise. in the
midst of a game, only damages the
ill-treated players case
ITO impress on my men this doctrine
of silence, often tell them about a
married couple.
THE wife. in the middle Of the night,
was awakened by the loud shores of
her husband. She endured the horrible
racket as long as She could. Then
pinching the man sharply, she said:
Herbert, you'd make less noise If
you kept your mouth shut
Herbert. sleepy and surly, mutter-
ed:
$50 would you.'"

THE old, old question OF taxing NOR.
tgages has been settled for the 'steenth
time, and this time lt Is in Graham
county. At irregular intervals legis-
latures or assessors conceive the idea
that when a man buys piece OF real
estate for which he cannot pay in full,
and has 10 givea mortgage TO secure
the balance Of the payment he should
pay full tax on the land, and the man
who owns the mortgage mustp pay a tax
on 1t. AS often as these cases get into
court the tax on the mortgage Is
declared invalid, and this time 1t was
the turn OF Graham county. A case
was brought into court, and Judge
Nave promptly declared the tax an in
valid one. The decision OF Judge Nave
was accepted by every one except AS
SCISSOR Blrdno, who has over ruled
Judge Nave, and promises to print his
decision in the Graham Guardian this
week. The Supreme court OF the ter
ritory is looking with interest for the
appearance OF the paper.

Bartlett introduced Harcourt TO A.
Stelnield. the big merchant, and prac-
tically vouched for him. Harcourt
wanted 70 borrow some $4,000, and
offered TO put up a lot OF jewelry, worth

strength OF Bartlett's introduction Mr..
Steinfeld let Harcourt have the
money, Bartlett and H~arcourt then
went to Bisbee aud worked the same
game on the cashier OF the bank.
About this time Stelnfeld discovered
the iewelry was bogus, and only worth
a thousand dollars. He did not pocket
the loss, as It was expected he would
do, TO save his reputation for business

worth more than an hundred thous.

them. Governor Folk sent troops TO

fered a reward Of $500, the limit the
law allows, for each conviction OF a
