IN REPENTANT MOOD
SOME LITTLE TALES NOT roo
FAR oVERDRAWN.
oliver Lightfinger's Vain Regrets for
Misspent Life-When the Presi-
dent of the Great Trust "Told
All"-Jack Blacks Plea.

Oliver Lightfinger, cashier of the
Widows and Orphans Trust COM
pany, had just reached the railroad
station with another mans wife and
what was left of the $19S,00O he had
stolen But on the advice of detec-
tives he did not take the train he had
intended to. On the contrary he Wis
tied Mulberry street. After long
talk in cherries inner room he sud
denly broke down.
Il have done wrong" he cried, Il
have done wrong! l have spent most
of the money / have deserted my
faithful little wife. But 1 still love
her dearly. / will do what l can to
make restitution"
But he had nothing to restore, so
they led him away. AS the cell door
closed on him he lifted up his voice
and wept "Oh, / beg of you keep all
knowledge of this sad affair from the
people of the little town of Wonhoss.
I used to sing in the choir there, and
it; would break my heart if l thought
they found out about it."
Willie Steel, head of the Aerated
Atmosphere Trust, after seven years
of vain chasing, had at last been
dragged into court AS the crowds
looked at the great magnate they saw
him suddenly arise, place his hand
on his heart and dramatically de-
clare:
Il shall tell ALI"
Then he sent for his lawyer, who
skillfully drew up a long statement
that contained many words and no in
formation. And when the judge and
jurors heard it and the people, read it
they were as wise as they were before
the statement was made.
And the trust went on Its way re-
joicing. The consumers didn't.
Tucker Ball had returned home
after months spree. Before going
on it he had taken from his wife
every cent she possessed. When he
arrived at the door a delegation from
the neighboring police station met
him and dragged him to court. AS he
was led away to serve the so days on
the island presented him by the judge
he suddenly bethought himself of
something important.
What, oh, what" he cried, will
my poor children do for bread now
their father is taken from them?"
'You should not be too hard on
me-" pleaded Jack Black, who had
killed few men while pursuing his
vocation of holdup man, "as l now
see the error of my ways and have re-
turned to the simple faith of my child
hood"
aft For he figured that this plea would
make an impression on those who had
returned to the simple faith of their
second childhood
When the Judge sternly said:
Twenty years, and l wish it lay in
my power to give you more" Otto B.
Lynch broke down completely. He
had been convicted of bigamy, arson,
swindling and few minor crimes.
This" he said as he was led away,
sis what comes Of me for deserving
the best little woman who ever
breathed."
But when asked who she was he
could not readily answer, as there
were several of her and he had be-
come mixed on dates.-N. y. Press.

Sherman'S Jealousy of Senator
Morrill,.

In the May American Magazine Ida
M. Tarbell describes the great fight of
1888 in Congress over reduction of the
tariff. On the Senate Committee sat
John Sherman of Ohio and Justin S. Nor
rill OF Vermont Miss Tarbell goes on:
AT the head of the Senate committee
was Mr.. Morrill,, who twenty-three
years before had introduced in the House
of Representatives the bill with which
this narrative opened Since 1867 he
had been member of the Senate giving
the bulk of his time to revenue questions.
He was seventy-two years old now and
in spite OF over twenty years labor on
tariff schedules was still dignifed and
courteous
John Sherman was next to Morrill, on
the Committee-a place he held with bad
grace. Sherman had lost his rank on
the Committee of Finance, of which he
had formerly been Chairman, by his
appointment to Mr.. Hayes Cabinet in
1876; it being an invariable rule that a
member returning to the Senate after an
interregnum should go to the foot of his
party colleagues on committee. When
Sherman returned in 1881 he thought he
should be an exception to the rule. He
had up to this time outranked Mr.. Nor
rill in both House and Senate. His SER
vices as Secretary of the Treasury had
given him special skill in dealing with
revenue questions. But Mr.. Morrill, de-
clined to yield. 1t looked as if Mr.. Sher-
man would sit at the foot of the table
when Mr.. Allison, who was a member of
the Committee, approaching the strain,
quietly suggested to his Republican col
leagues that Mr.. Sherman be moved up
next to Morrill,. This was done but
from the beginning of the work on the
bill the effect of his defeat was most
noticeable on Sherman's temper and
attitude. He was arrogant in COM
mittee and out. He says in his 'Recol-
lections' that he was piqued' by Nor
rill's failure to yield to him. The word
is mild"

There will probably be hot contest
Tor the next republican convention.
according to Colonel Harry S. New,
chairman of the Republican National
committee, St. Louis, Kansas CITY and
Seattle have formally applied for the
honor OF entertaining the convention
and Chicago has informally notified the
committee that it is in a position to take
care OF the convention should it come
that way. Denver, Baltimore, Cincin-
natl and other cities are also mentioned
as possibilities.
The National Committee will meet in
this city in December next at which time
the various cities will present their
claims. In every case it is practically
essential that the invitation be backed
up by substantial sum in cash. Thisis
not given as bonus for the convention
but to enable the committee to pay the
expenses incidental to the convention
which are always considerable. The
remainder, if there is any, goes into the
campaign fund. There are three essen
tial qualifications that any city aspiring
to the convention must possess,-good
hotels and plenty Of them; a great audi.

School Gardens.

THE backbone of a nations prosperity
is the man who makes something grow.
In our country the science of Nature
study is only in its infancy. The school
garden that was once pooh-poohed as a
foolish fad is now accepted by the United
States Commissioner of Education and
by the leading universities of the land as
vital to our public school system as
manual training of any Sort" writes
Herbert D. Ward in the May Woman's
Home Companion.

States was started 16 years ago by
Henry L. Clapp in the George Putnam
Grammar School in Boston. Over 80
years ago Austria and Sweden began the

ahead of us. There are over twenty
thousand in Austria and thirty thou
