Experience of a Fresh Young Man In
His Start In Business.
Here is something that should appeal
to every young man starting out in
business: when l came to New York
said a bright fellow to me, 81 engaged
by the year as entry clerk with large
dry goods house l soon found out /
couldn't get along with the superin-
tendent, a dictatorial, domineering
man. Being young and brash, sass
ed him, which made matters all the
worse for me. At last my position be-
came unbearable, and l quietly looked
around for another place The man
ager of great grocery house asked
where l worked and why l wanted to
make change. 1 told him in all frank
ness, and he asked me to come around
in a few days. I guess 1 talked alto
gether too much. When l called he
said, / have no place open at present,
but guess 1 can find hole for you
That was enough 1 went back to my
store and resigned.
1.-The next morning / presented my
self before the manager of the grocery
house. AS told you, said he, L have
no place open at present. and walked
away. But said 1, didn't you tell me
you would find a hole for meY 4 did,
he answered back. Amt you in itY
He then added, Mr. R., the superin-
tendent Of the firm you have been
working for is my brother 1 have
worked since then with my hands in
my pockets, and the lesson took a good
deal of the freshness out of me. 1t
taught me to look before 1 leaped"-

A NEED, JUST LIKE SLEEP.
IL the Instinct of Natural Death Born
In Mankindf

In Mankindf
The most convincing fact in proof of
the existence in man of an instinct of
natural death seems to me that report
ed by Toxarsky in relation to an old
woman. In the lifetime of Toxarsky |
begged an acquaintance of his to OBJ
tain for me the details of this most in
teresting case, of which / had found
but an incomplete statement. Tox-
arsky unfortunately could add nothing
to what he had published in his article
believe, however, that 1 have found
the source from which his instance had
been taken.
In his book upon the physiology of
taste, which had its day of celebrity,
Brillat-Savarin relates the following:
II had great-aunt, ninety three years
old, who was dying. Although for some
time confined to her bed, she had re-
tanned all her faculties, and her condi-
ton was only betrayed by her loss of
appetite and the weakening of her
voice. She had always shown a fond
ness for me, and 1 was near her bed,
affectionately ready to wait ON her,
which did not prevent my watching
her with the philosophical eye l have
ever had for the things and events sur
rounding me. Are you there, nephew? 2
she asked, in scarcely audible voice.
Yes, aunt; 1 am here at your service,
and l think you would do well to take
little good old wine Give, mon
ami. One can always swallow liquid.
l FASTENED. Raising her gently, I made
her take half a glass of my best wine
She frightened for moment and, look
ing at me with eyes which had once
been very fine, Thank you, she said,
for this last favor. If ever you reach
my age you will find that death be-
comes need, just like sleep
these were her last words. Half an
hour later she had fallen asleep forev.
er. We Enthusiastically have here an in,
stance of the instinct of natural death.
The instinct was shown at a relatively
early age in person who had retain
ed all her intellectual faculties Pro

AN EXECUTION IN INDIA.
The Way a Man Guilty of Murder UN
derwent Decapitation.

The Way "A Man Guilty of Murder US-
derwent Decapitation.
A letter from India to a German pa
per gives this account of the execution
near Bombay of a man who had been
found guilty of the murder of his
brother-in-law: "The question as to
whether the culprit should be executed
or sent to prison for life was, as is the
custom, submitted to the family of the
murdered man for decision. All, in
Guiding the wife of the murdered, vot-
ed for death When the place of ex-
ecution was reached the condemned
man knelt, and the ropes which were
fastened to him were handed over to
the executioner's assistants. The one
who held the neck rope took a. few
steps before the kneeling man anu the
other two stood at either side. Then
the executioner, armed with razor
edged, heavy knife, advanced and
asked in loud voice, who authorizes
the execution and the chief of police
answered, The law The question
was asked and answered three times,
while the armed man advanced, slowly
swinging the mighty blade. As the
last answer was heard an assistant
executioner thrust a needle point into
the kneeling mans back and he made
an Involuntary motion forward with his
head. The three ropes were pulled
taut, leaving the neck extended to the
utmost. At the same instant the knife

of the murderer rolled in the sand"

Apart from its wide range, the nat
ural beauty and sweetness of the voice
Of Sims Reeves held his audiences
spellbound and fully entitled him to be
termed the finest English tenor of his
day. He especially excelled in ora
torio parts, while in opera his success
was scarcely less pronounced. Per
haps 1t was as a singer of English bal
lads that Sims Reeves appealed to the
majority, and it will probably be many
a long day before we shall hear a more
exquisite rendering of sally In Our
Alley than that of which this great
tenor was capable.-London Mail

ATLANTIC CRY people have been work
ing themselves into frenzy over the ap-
preparation just awarded to Cape May for
the purpose of improving the harbor at
that place. The Atlantic City people got
real angry and held an indignation meet
ing at which they spoke out real loud and
called down vengeance upon the head OF
Congressman Gardner who, they claim,
should not have allowed Cape May to
have so much unless Atlantic City was
given the same concession. They said
that Mr.. Gardner owed it to the place that
had been SO loyal to him for 10 years to
explain his willingness to have Atlantic
City interests sacrificed at the behest OF
the political hackers of the Cape May
deal. Congressman Gardner, however,
was not scared by the firewo :, siti n
ly said he would not consider the cutting
out of the Cape May appropriation. The
people of that resort, he said, are
spending money to the amount of $780,
600 for the purpose of improving theil
city and they had right to consideration
He contended that Atlantic City people
were not making any movement toward
improving or establishing harbor. The
position of the Congressman has much
merit Atlantic City is not the only place
along the coast. Cape May county is in
the Second Congressional District. AL
though it may not be so conspicuous as
the other resort, it is there just the same,
and from present appearances it is des
tined to grow despite the envy of the
other place. Congressman Gardner is
perfectly right in the position he took on
this point.

INSTEAD of being cleared, as was ex-
pected would be the result of the Sena-
torial situation after last evening, the
result appears to be still far from
solution. Senator Dryden sent let
ter to the Legislators in which he stated
that his health had reached such a
stage that it was not wise for him
to continue the strain under which
said that he could not allow his per-
sonal ambition to stand in the way of
party harmony and he withdrew his name
from the contest. This brought another
conference and instead of being able to
center on one man, the members found
that there would be difficulty in getting a
quick solution. While State Treasurer
Briggs seemed to be the favorite, David
Baird, of Camden, had some warm sup
porters and the conference ended without
anything definite being determined. The
friends of Governor Stokes are still insist
ing that he shall be given the Office. There

Jersey and the voice of the people should
certainly be needed. Whatever other OBJ
iectiens have been urged against Senator
Dryden not one word has been said
against his ability and it will be a great
shame if his successor is man who will
not keep New Jersey in the front ranks.
Mr.. Dryden's letter is as follows:
L regret that my state of health pre-
vents me from appearing before the Re-
publican members of the Legislature this
afternoon as arranged last week. l had
hoped to be able to persuade the gentle
men who are opposed to me, and who re-
fuse to be bound by the action of the party
caucus, that / could worthily represent
the people of New Jersey in the United
States senate, and that their opposition to
me is based upon mistaken grounds.
This privilege is denied me by my
physician in terms that are imperative.
and must abide by his decision. As l
know of no other means of influencing the
minds of the gentlemen referred to, and

will change their attitude toward me at
any time in the near future, / have come
to the conclusion that / ought not any
longer to be candidate. have strong
ambition to represent the State of New
Jersey in the Federal Senate another term
and have felt that could promote the
welfare of the State and that of the nation
in so doing.
Il cannot, however, allow my personal
ambition to stand in the way of party har-
mony or the welfare of the State, and be-
ing satisfied that a continuance of the
present deadlock would tend to injure
both the party and the State. l have de-
cided to do what can to end it by asking
you to withdraw my name as candidate.
I'm taking this step wish to express to
you and your associates my appreciation
of the loyalty and earnestness with which
you and they have supported me, and.
what is more important, have supported
the decision of the party caucus.
