obra de la que aparecia respon-
sable ell departamento del Int
rior. Sc indicaba de TN modo
unanime por la opinion publica
al subcomisionado como Ell fun
cionario. autor del hecho que
provocaba el general disgusto.
Decfase de dicho congregan-
te que 81 10 manejaba todo a su
gusto y a sus anchas, y que era
sOlamente su voluntad la que
imperaba en- todos los asuntos
Y en- todos los casos.
Del fracaso de las obras p1-
bl1cas, de las originates Y estu-
pendas reformas de telegrafos,
de la SUPPRESSION de las cunetas
en- las carreteras, que son indis-
pensables. como Sc ha compro-
bado plenamente, del descuaje
aquel de los empleados nativos
en- las dependencies del depar-
tanento del interior, y de todo
cuanto, en- una palabra, movia
a la opinion p1blica a la critica
y a la indignada censura, Sc
eulpaba a Mr.. Proctor.
Era unanime la voz que Sc
flalaba a este ex-congregante

no Sc sabe attn, a ciencia cierta
a que atribuir Ell que va no i'm.
pere en- el departamento del In
terror, el .popularlsimo Mr.. Proc

Lo que ST puede afrmarse
desde luego, es que Sc impone
una absolute rectiflcaci0n, un
cambio radical de sistemas, III
abandono de las practicas que
hasta Ia fecha Sc vienen ST
guiendo, en- csc departamento,
y Ia sustitucion del personal
que no sea absolutamente ido-
neo para Servir los puestos que

Esto es muy importante; Y Sc
necesita que los funcionarios
Teunan las condolences que son

WASH t the work of his minister, but Of
the widow Flint. The deacon's hogs
had broken into her garden on circus
day and rooted up her early potatoes,
and she wanted to get even.
The charges We're that the deacon
had attended a perfidious and wicked
performance calculated to bring the
cause of religion into disrepute, and
that his action IL 50 doing had tempted
others. He was on hand at the time
set and pleaded not guilty. The charges
were proven true, and in his defence
the deacon arose and told the people
what q circus was. In entering, he
had first stopped to gaze at the ele-
plant. He tarried there five minutes
and never had q wicked feeling On
the contrary his mind was all the time
figuring how the behemoth would look
il he had been provided with horses
tail.
He then passed on to the lion. He
saw the king of beasts in all his Esa-
jesty, but satan never whispered in MS
ear As he stood before the Bengal
tiger he felt a desire to see if he could
pinch the animals tail and get safely
away but decided not to take the risk.
The two-humped camel and the hyenas
had a soothing effect on him. and
when he reached the Demonstration he
was ready to forgive Abraham Day-
fdson for cheating him out OF a ton OF
hay ten years before
The deacon had talked with the cir
Gus men before the performance be-
gan He found each and every one
hopeful that the church and the cir
Gus would eventually get together and
make a combination campaign Of it.
They stood on their heads, walked on
their hands, and turned double-som-
ersaults, but all the time they were do
ing it. SO they assured the Deacon, they
were thinking of church bells and pull
pits It was true that some Of them
drank a little, and some of them were
profane, but they were always sorry
for it afterwards and were anxious to
contribute to a fund to buy pew cush-
ions.
As for the performance that the dea-
con saw. he said it was not half so
wicked as trying to drive hog mile
on the highway. He had driven oxen
to the plough when he had had more
wicked thoughts. and between going to
the circus and falling down the cellar
stairs and sI1inning his back, there was
ten times as much profanity in the lat
ter He was trying to be a good man
and live a good life. He never Watered
his cider nor scrimped on a bushel OF
'tatoes and If he attended twenty
more seircuses he expected to find him
self taken care of at the last day.
There was a disposition to teach the
deacon lesson. and although he had
made a good defense they would have
brought him in guilty had he not
sprung a little surprise on them. He
had expected to be cited. and he had
prepared for it Things began to lock

BowsER's FALL PAINTING.
He Takes a Day on With the Paint
Brush.


Mr. Bowser hadn't dropped the
slightest hint Of his intentions, but ar
ter breakfast the other morning, m
stead Of being IN a rush to get away 70
the Office. he leaned back in his ehalr
and said:
sAs business is not rushing just
now, and as that front fence wants
painting pretty badly, I guess VIII
why. Won painted the fence only
last spring replied Mrs. Bowser, as
visions Of what happened on that oc-
casion rose up before her and brought
an anxious look to her face
yes, I did. but the past summer
has been a hard one on paint. One
Judges of a mans character by the
looks OF his front fence Ours has got
to be freshened up a bit for the win
ter and now is just the time to do 1t.
Couldn't I hire a painter for half
day and pay him out Of my money
That would save all the stopping
around
"Half day! Why, how long do you
suppose It would take the average
painter to go over that fence with a
Coat2 He would be from four days
to a week. and he would steal half the
paint at that. ] have the time and the
inclination, and shall do the work.
There Will be no stopping around. as
viii be wasted"
Mrs. Bowser saw that It was no use
to argue the point She knew how
things would turn out and she knew
that Mr.. Bowser would. paint that
fence even If an earthquake came
along and heaved it out of the ground
while he was at work. She therefore
raised no further objections and he got
into an old suit and began looking up
the necessary things. He upset the
cook the kitchen the shed. the base
ment, and the whole house for an hour
before he was ready to go to work
and then in mixing his paint he got
hold Of A can of gasoline instead Of
iinseed oil and made free use of it

fance?" asked Mrs. BOwser when she
discNEered what he had done
Never mind about the moths" he
reDlied as he went on whistling and
stirring. II was painting fences when
yor we're yet playing with rag dolls,
and I never made a mistake yet"

to the forntier This humiliation rank
led In his breasts and he was not back
ward about saying to freeman or con-
vict that he would do most anything to
get square with the Russian govern
ment He had been so outspoken that
he had received q hint from his own
government to moderate his speech.
He took warning by it, but he still
chafed. The telephone called the gov
ernor up to inform him that q convict
had escaped, and while he was fussing
about it, the card OF a stranger was
brought in. The mama was that Of a
Russian and the governor at once
thought Of anarchists and nihilists ana
arbitrary measures and became hot.
There was a confab lasting an hour.
The Russian did not hesitate to confidG
in the governor. He informed him that
a plot was on foot to oyerturn the gov
ernment and raise 8. republic On ita
ruins The names of the leading con-
spiratOrS were given him and the sums
of money raised on the quiet from
English SyInpathizers was given. He
He knew that such action would make
him amenabl6 to the law, and yet he
remembered the dreary days and
nights in that cell in the fortress. He
had never talked with a more intelIi-
gent man. He had never met with ana
other foreigner who spoke the English
! language SO correctly. While his yisi-'
tor boldly acknowledged that he was
governor mentally figured that he
must be one OF the nobility aud would
hesitate at bombs and bloodsned.
| The warning received by the great
man was ringing in his ears, but he
4 thought Of the miserable food, the Wet
4 straw and the manner in which he had
/ been bounced out of the ears domin-
ions and warned to stay out. The teie-
phone gave him the particulars OF tina
cOnvict's escape and inquired about Of
/ fering a reward, but he was too busy
/ to attend to such trifies. He first said
no, but as the Russian rose to leave
/ the house the governor brought out a
bag containing i've hundred dollars in
gold and placed it on the table ana
/ turned his back and began to hum the
/ air of a tune. The Russian tumbled
| to the subscription and murmured his
/ thanks. With the gold he picked M
one of the governors cards. An hour
later a train was bearing him to Liv-
erpOOl. He was stopped on the way
and stopped again as he went aboard
a steamer for South America, but that
card of the governor carried him
through.
The search for Broughton was thor
ough and long drawn out. As it was
the first escape from DartmOor under
Governor Cunningham reign. he was
over-anxious for the mans capture. In
