Of locating and handling claims. The

Willie and the Impecunious Bose,

Willie was sweet boy, with 4

in the employ of hustling but I'M
pecunious attorney who was busy
dodging collectors. One morning the
Impecunious Attorney chided Willie
urgently. A short time afterward the
form of an lnsistent Collector with a
bill for SAG appeared, and the Impe-
cunious Attorney hastily clambered
into the microscopic closet which
contained the washstand, clambered
on top of the wash bowl, and pulled
the door shut, motioning franticaly to
Willie to tell the ubiquitous collector
that he was out

The collector accepted both the chair

wait comfortably. And Willie resig1 ed
hurriedly without waiting to tell any
one about it and never returned for
his money.

"Yes: where can he be now?"

case soon be there. For the rest, Mr..
HamiltOn's bondsmen, Carter, Hender-

And thus the matter rested, II it
could be said to rest when half doz-
err bank officials, aided by young Os-
Lorn. were industriously turning over
all the bank books, looking up col

POINT showed a difference of several
thousand dollars. But there were one
or two erasures in the balance sheets,
difficult to understand. and yet which
might be made to come right in the
hands of the bank examiner. 1t was
too soon to say there was anything
wrong.
No reply came to the letter Mrs.

Doubtless it is known that a wom-

SAD SIGHT IN INDIA.
Hillmen stasger Under Burden Of
Immense PIanks.

No sadder sight is to be seen in
India than the spectacle of The
Men With the Planks,' staggering
along under their burden. Here Is a
grimly pathetic picture of them, drawn
by Sir Frederick Treves:
"They are hillmen of the poorer
sort who carry planks of sawn wood
to fourteen feet in length, and two
or three make up load. The men
are ill-clad, and the sun and rain
have tanned them and their rags to
the color of brown earth. They bear
the planks across their bent backs,
and the burden is grievous. They
come from place some days journey
toward the SHOWS. They plod along
from the dawn to the twilight. They
seem crushed by the weight of the
beams. and their gait is more the gait
of stumbling beast than the walk Of
man. Their long black hair is white
with dust as it hangs by each side oil
their bowed-down faces. The sweat
among the wrinkles on their brows is
hardened into lamentable clay. They
walk in single file, and when the path
is narrow they must needs move side
ways. The path is in a soli-
tude among bare and pitiless hills;
the road is as old as the world: and
in the weary dust of it many hun.
dreds have dropped and died. Along
it steals this patient line of groaning
men. bending under the burden of the
planks upon their backs. Behind
them rosytinted light is falling upon
the spotless SHOWS. and it needs only
the pointing figure of Dante on one
of the barren peaks to complete the
picture of a circle in Purgatory."
