The people of Pittsburg. Pa. are the

The ore in our mine yields 99.3 per
cent of silver per ton and 1873 per
cent Of lead. An average percentage
from a carload is 272 per cent of silver
and now we must fence off would-be
investors.

A Brief Parable.

A certain man carried a sack con.
tanning a heavy burden, and he had
borne 1t many weary days.
Then as he journeyed the Angel of
knowledge came to him and spoke to
him. saying:
what dost thou carry?"
And the man replied: "It is a heavy,
heavy burden"
"Of what does the burden consist?"
the angel asked.
"Of my WORRIES" the man made
answer.
Then the angel smiled pityingly
upon the man. and said:
Let us look into the bundle of thy
Worries"
And they looked. and 10! even as
they looked the contents of the sack
dwindled into nothingness.
For when the Angel of knowledge
teaches a man to look Alright he per
ceives that his worries are but tiny
and useless things and the burden OF

Fresh "Drummers" sIIeneed by Sweet
old Quakeress.
In the train sat a poor old Quak-
eress. She wore a silver gray dress.
snowy collar, and such a sweet hat.
She was big, handsome woman, and
her large Madonna face beamed with
benevolence and love. A ruby or a
diamond ornament would have mar
red her beauty.
Two fresh, smart young CONNER
cial travellers came in the car at a
station and sat down just back Of
her. One could easily observe by
their actions that neither of them had
much experience "on the road" and
one passenger allowed that 1t Is
their first trip as drummers."
After they had discussed the liquor
and tobacco trade while and told
each other what large orders they
had received in different towns they
had made" they looked at the old
woman ahead of them. smiled at each
other, then one of the fresh young
snipes said:
Erred, l guess the old lady is In
flated with Quaker yeast"
Turning in her seat, without lifting
her eyes, the old woman remarked so
low that only few passengers heard
1t:
eff thy father and mother had con-
sumed more sweet Quaker yeast and
less bad beer and tobacco. thee would
have been better raised and better

Then 1t was so still that you could

Have a Serious Purpose in Life.

Let us look on life as a landscape
dotted with mounds. hills. and noun
tains. Do not let us fix our eyes on
little hillock and rest satisfied when
its petty summit is reached. The man
who does that is apt TO go down the
other side unwittingly. Let us rather
strain our eyes and thoughts to the
peak of yonder high and noble noun
tain; and although the toll Of years
may find us only on one of the lower

stones on the dry and dusty highway

CONSCIENCE" STORY.

A remarkable cash" entry in the
accounts of the London, Brighton and
South Coast Railway was referred to
at the ordinary meeting of the COM
pany yesterday.
Lord Cottesloe, who presided, call
ed attention to the fact that the gen.
eral insurance fund was credited with
the sum of e1,2O0 under the simple
entry of "cash." The circumstances
in which the money was paid over to
the company were unusual
A London solicitor called on the
company's solicitors in January and
stated that client of his (whose name
he was not allowed to divulge) was, in
the possession of a sum of money
whichhe considered rightfully belonged
to the company and which he wished
to pay over. The solicitor declined
to give any information, as to how the.
money came into his clients posses
sion, and he was only prepared to say
that his client was not, never had been
connected with the company. If the
acceptance of the offer was declined,
he added, he would advise his client
that having made the offer, he might
retain the money with a clear con-
science.
The true facts connected. with this
payment, said the Lord, would proba-
bly, never be known 1t was a very
unusual circumstance for a railway
company to receive what unquestion-
ably must be conscience money"
The offer was accepted.-London

STOPPING RUNS ON BANKS.

Runs on banks, as all the world
knows, are often stopped or restricted
in the oldest ways.
rich bank knew that run was
to set in on a certain Monday morning
for 1t had been robbed of some
postage stamps on Saturday night,
and the robbery had been exaggerated
in the newspaper reports--and IL this
run was not kept within reasonable
limits the bank would have to close
its doors. 1t had plenty of money, but
not plenty of cash. 1t needed "a
hours time. Before sunrise on Mon
day morning a man put fresh coat
of paint on the front doors of the bank,
on the walls panels, and on the coun-
tiers. The result was that the people
who made the run on Monday made
rather a walk of 1t. They wanted
their money, but they rushed no one.
On the contrary, they came on with
caution and elaboration. So careful
were they lest they get paint on their
clothes that it took longer to pay of
one of them than it would have taken
ordinarily to pay FIVE.
This is one of the many old tricks
whereby in a run, bank has saved
itself from wreck.-New York Sun.

this city out of millions of dollars,
Adolph Segal, the promoter of many
enterprises; William F. North, the
Treasurer of the Trust Company; and
Marshal S. Collingwood, the Assistant

Segal was held in $4,000 bail and
the two Trust Company officers in &c.,
600 each. They entered bond and will
be given hearing tomorrow.
This turn in the affairs of the CON-
pany is only one of the many sensa-
lions expected to develop In connec-

mated, will exceed $10,O00,0OO before
the receiver finishes his investigation.
The affidavits accompanying the war
rants were sworn to by w. G. Brown

ident of the company, who committed
suicide, and with other unknown per-
sons, defrauded the Trust Company
''out of many millions of dollars, and
that they fraudulently applied the mon
ey to their own use. 1t is further
charged that Segal was an abettor to
the embezzlement of the many mil
