Special Delivery Letter.

About o'clock last night Bennett A.
Allen. chief Of the auditing division Of
the Postoffice Department, received a
special delivery letter from Lieutenant
Crawford, IN which he said he had be-
come involved financially, and that he
had decided 10 end It all. The letter de
clared that his peculatons had extend
ed over a period of several years. be-
ginning with a small amount and in
creasing gradually until the total today
was more than he could ever hope to
pay. and that the only course left to
him was suicide.
It is not known IN what manner
Lieutenant Crawford was involved. His
position as secretary to Admiral Dewey
was entirely clerical work, and he did
not have the handling of any Govern
ment funds. Although connected with
a number Of organizations, II Is said
that his accounts are all right, and that
in these associations he only had the
handling of small sums. 1t is believed
he had given notes which were coming
due. and which he was unable to meet.
Commander Spencer S. Wood, l. S-N.,
this morning received a postcard from
Lieutenant era wford. 1t was written
with an indelible pencil, and simply said
that he had done some work in accord
ance with a request made by Admiral
Dewey yesterday afternoon. The card
was postmarked Washington, and was
mailed at 8 o'clock last night. The con-
clusion was "GoOd-by. Crawford.

A Good Heart.

A good heart makes n good face
perhaps not beautiful or classic, but
fine, sincere and noble. The face
will shine with God behind it. There
are some faces that are quite even
today that at times seem to have a
glow upon them. There are faces that
are quiet and unintercsting in rcpose
that light up amazingly with the ami
nation of talking. There arc some who
can never get a good photograph be-
cause the camera cannot catch the
subtle spark of the eye, in which the
whole individuality lies. There are
some whom you would not at first call
handsome whose faces grow on you
with the constant acquaintance until
they become beautiful to you. For you
see the soul shining: you see the splen-
dor of noble character, clarifying every
feature. true beauty in the soul will
come out in the sweetness, the bright
ness, the quiet glory Of the face.

Tho Little Worries Of Life.

Little, no-account worries do detract
great deal from the enjoyment of life.
To meet great misfortunes we gather
up our endurance and fall back upon
our faith; but as to the small worries
of daily occurrence we are very ready
to think that they are too little to call
up our fortitude to face them.
To know that your servants and the
tradespeople are practicing upon you
series of petty receptions, or to be
told that some acquaintance is putting
into your mouth words which you
never uttered, to meet the daily pin
pricks of thwarted desires and plans
all these things are truly vexatious
and call not only for an equable tenn
per, but for a daily philosophy of liv-
ing.
No doubt over-sensitiveness is album
dainty foolish; some people appear
not merely to be thin skinned, but to
have been morally deprived of any
skin at all. The least criticism or OPP
position treads upon their self-conceit
which is another name for over-sen-
sitiveness. Yet it is curious how little
sympathy these over-sensitive people
have for the sensitiveness of other
people. They are always a little SUI
perior, and are wont to speak their
minds freely to their friends and ac.
quaintances. .
One always feels the better for look
ing any small evil of life straight in
the face. To define a thing almost in
variably makes it look a great deal
smaller. 1t is we'll to be charitable
and make allowance for human nature.
1t is even better to bear in mind that
among people in general there is not
much real and serious malice. Cling
to this belief, for if many were so
unprincipled as you would sometimes
think when you hear them speak or
suffer from their inconsiderateness YOU
might turn misanthrope and pessimist
at once.

The Song Of the Thrush.

All! the May was grand this mornin'!
Shure, how could I feel fororn in
Such land, when tree and flower
tossed their kisses to the breeze?
Could an Irish heart be quiet
While the Spring was running riot,
An the birds Of free America were
singing in the trees?
In the songs that they were singing
No familiar npte was ringing,
But strove t" initiate them an I
whisted like a lad.
o! my heart WAS warm to love them
For the very newness of them
For the ould songs that they helped
me to for-ct-an' I was glad.
So Knocked tho feathered choir
To my hungry hearts desire,
An l glored in the comradeship that
made their joy my own.
Till new note sounded. stilling
All the rest. a thrush was trilling.
All! the thrush left behind me in the
fields about AthlOne!
Where, upon The whitethorn swaying,
He was minstrel Of the Maying
In my days Of love an laughter that
the years have laid at rest;
Here again his notes were ringing!
But Id lost the heart for singing
All! the song could not answer was
the one ] knew the best.
