 Bob Atterby dragged unwilling feet into the dental parlor of Dr. Guy Carl ton.
 Its all of, Dock" he moaned. as he sank wearily into a great leath- ern chair, It's all off-she's going to do it."
 Whose going to do what?' Quer- led the dentist with forebearance born Of long acquaintance.
 My wife is going to mail you receipt for s400 you owe her"
 What $400? I don't owe her any thing-never saw her save at your wedding and the call made after your honeymoon.
 I know it, Dock, and I've had the devils time keeping you apart, but youll get it just the same. Look Tor It Wednesday morning. because when good as got it. I tried to get her to intrust it to me, but she wouldn't, so I've come here to 'fess up She per sonally wishes to thank you for the prompt and generous manner in which you have paid the interest, and say that as you have, since making the loan, paid her 360 per cent of the principal, and as she has been read ing up On usury and loan sharks, she s gong to drop the whole shooting match because her conscience has be- gun to bother her. Deponent will apologize, plead ignorance of law and business methods and state that she considers this an suspicious time at which to turn over and glue down the rear aforesaid"
 Dr. Carlton looked at his disconso- iate friend as though he doubted his sanity
 I've had an awful time for three years, Dock" sighed Bob. "She thinks we been wasting my substance in i'otous living; but I've walked to save car fare, smoked a pipe shaved my sen and gone in rags. If tell you aoout it, will you write her letter of thanks, to save my face? It wouldn't oe lie, Dock; just thank her for the feceipt-you'll get it all right"

HOW SAMBO GOT OUT.
Simple Operation as Described by
 His Little Friend

Gov, Tyler of Virginia began his ad stories One was about negro who lived in the home of one of his con stituents. One day the negro shot a white man, was arrested tried and sentenced to the penitentiary. I'm mediately after the conviction the con stituent came to the governor and begged for the mans release, says the New York Tribune.
 My little son thinks the world and all of that nigger," said the constitu- ent. If you don't pardon him I be- lieve it will break the child's heart"
 How did the nigger come to do the shooting?" asked Mir. Tyler.
 Why. you see, the niggers in our neighborhood were holding a sort of festival, and this white man tried to associate with them and my nigger shot him Tn the heel" the constituent explained.
 That was right, he ought to have ing to associate with niggers," re- turned the governor
 After an investigation Tyler decided to pardon the prisoner and the day of his release the little son of the con. stituent was on hand to see the gates of the prison opened. As soon as he saw the black face of his friend he started for home, shouting:
 Mamma! Mamma! Mammal"
 His mother heard him coming and rushed out to see what was the mat

BOYS BODY IN LAKE
YOUNG LAD LOSES HIS LIFE WHILE
THROWING AT GULLS.
Disappeared Christmas Day After Play

Tells of Tragedy.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dee. 2S.-The
body of Carl Fojut, a 13-year-old
boy whose home is at ST7 Franklin
street. was found in the lake near Flush
ing tunnel pier at $50 o'clock this morn
ing by Patrolmen Nolan and Adami,
upon information given the police by
Felix POkraywinski, boy living at b.
Pulaski street, who with several other
boys. found a cap floating near the shore
not far from the yacht club, Thursday
afternoon.
The boy was reported to the police as
missing since Christmas day, at which
time he left hls home to take a walk
along the lake shore.
1t is thought that ne lost his balance
while standing on the old pier throwing
stones at the gulls, and fell into the
lake and was drowned. Several other
boys were with him Christmas day ana
they had been engaged together III play.
but left him alone, and did not see Hin
again until his body was Identified at the
mOrgue.
Frank Foiut, father of the boy, is n
laborer, who is crippled and now almost
unable to work.
Patrolmen Nolan and Adam were
guided to the spot where the cap was
found by the Porzywinsk boy and found
the body with little difficulty in the
shallow water. with a pike pole.

West Virginia. During the investigation
it was stated that the Baltimore y ONO
was controlled by the Pennsylvania = s
ten, and Mr.. Bullitt made an appeal to
Charles Il. Pugh, second vice president
of that company. Mr.. Pugh declined to
consider the matter and Mr.. Bullitt
wrote a circular letter to every United
States senator and representative.
Representative Gillespie. of Texas,
brought the question up in the House
by introducing resolution asking the
interstate commerce COMMISSION Tor IN
formation on the subject. The commits
sion promptly responded it had no infor-
nation, and n resolution was introduced
to the effect that the necessary lnforlma-
ton be obtained. This resolution was
hung up in the House, but Senator Till
man modified it and introduced 1t in the
Senate and the House, then passed it
and began its inquiry.
Testimony Astonishing
During this investigation some re-
markable information concerning the
Pennsylvania has been elected. 1t IS
charged by the attorneys Of the inter
state commerce commission that enough
information was obtained TO prove that
the PENNSYLVANIA company favored Ger
tain coal companies in which President
Cassatts son. brother and brother-in-law
were interested. But the most astound-
ing testimony Of all came when several
high officials of the Pennsylvania admit
ted that they held blocks Of stock in
coal companies that made heavy ship
ments with the railroad, this stock not
costing them one penny. Some of these
men are very closely associated with
President Cassatt, one in particular who
admitted on the stand that he had re-
ceved more than 100000 worth Of coal
stock without the expenditure of a dollar.
These disclosures FASTENED Mr.. Cas-
salts return from Europe to this coun-
try. No action was taken, however, in
his case.

SALARY RAISE FOR ALL.
That Senate, House and Cabinet
Get so Per Cent. Advance.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 81
The subcommittee of the Senate commit
tee on appropriations, which for the last
week has been considering the executive
legislative and judicial appropriation bill.
will recommend an increase in the sala-
ries of senator's and representatives.
While no vnalterable programme has
been agreed IN, it seems probable that
the subcommittee will recommend an adj
vance of 80 per cent. The subcommit
tee is practically unanimous in the opin-
ion that such an increase should be
made, but there is general feeling that
the increase of salaries of the vice presi-
dent, the speaker and cabinet officers
should he eliminated unless correspond
ing increase shall be secured for sena-
tors and House members.
Many members of the committee ey
press the opinion that the Senate should
be given an opportunity to pass upon the
subject and will advocate the incorpora-
ton of an amendment in the bill by the
committee covering the entire subject.
