A LESSON I'M LOYALTY.
This Girl Stood UP for Her Friends
Like Boy.

THIS G1TA StOOU W AoE AA~A
Like Boy.
"Clare is as good as boy; just as
good as a boy!" said Rita, Thought
fully.
"Yes, dear?'' Mrs. Denny's tone sug-
gested question. Her daughter was
speaking about a cousin who had come
to live with the family, and evidently
designed to compliment her; but the
mother was not sure that she perceived
the bearing of the odd expression.
Eyes" Rita added, emphatically, "she
believes in standing by other girls, as
boys stand by each other.
st can remember a time" Rita went
on, "when, if one Of US girls did some
thing silly, the rest would talk and talk
and talk! 1t wasn't only manners and
actions that we criticised. IT colors
didn't match, or if any article OF dress
was conspicuous, that was reason enough
to pull a girl to pieces. We didn't do 1t
because we wanted to be unklnd 1t
was a kind of habit, you know, and we
never realized the meanness Of it.
"But Glare told u.s." Rita laughed
as she recalled the incident. 1T was
the very first time she had met num-
Der Of us together. Belle Ward wasn't
there. So one made fun of her new
hat, and another had joke about her
awkward gait, and third told how she
and her sister wrangled-and all OF a
sudden Clare spoke up.
yVorS a CnhOn1m qtp
and friend of yours?' she asked.
ooh. yes somebody said. Bellies
one of our crowd
"'Then,' said Clare, in that cool,
quiet way of hers, If she's good enough
for all Of you to associate with should
think that some Of you might find some
thing pleasant to say about her
"She didn't stop at that. She wasn't
bit preachy. but she suggested that
our practice Of talking about each other
in a belittling way was one that hurt
ourselves as we'll as the persons we
talked about. We were giving ourselves
lessons in insincerity and uncharitable-
ness. she said. People who overheard
us would think less Of girls and women
because of what we said. We might
naturally turn into gossips and scolds
when we got older.
"It seemed very shocking, but we had
sense enough to see that there was truth
in it: and we owned up, and asked
Glare to help us keep watch of our
selves. She does. She'd stop us in
minute if she heard us begin to talk
slightingly about another girl. And
more than that, she sticks up for girls
who don't have many pleasant things
said about them, and makes us do it,
too"
"'she openeth her mouth with wis
dom. and in her tongue is the law of
kindness, Mrs. Denny quoted softly.
That" she added, sis a part of an an
cient description of the ideal woman"

DEATH OF MRS. HARRIS
RECALLS OLD TRAGEDY
Waukesha Woman, Whose Husband Was
Murdered Eleven Years Ago,
Dies at Muskego.

WAUKESHA, Wis, Dec. 7.-[Spe-
cial. Mrs. Emma Jane Harris, aged
55 years, widow of Alexander Harris,
who was murdered by William Pouch,
eleven years ago at his home in the town
of Waukesha, and herself a victim of the
murderer's bullets, from which, it is
thought, she never fully recovered, died
Sunday at the home of relatives in the
town of Muskego. The funeral will be
held Wednesday. On May Z, 1897,
William Pouch, farmland at the Har
ris farm, shot and killed his employer,
Alexander Harris while the latter
was at work in the barn. Returning to
the house he shot Mrs. Harris; Nelson
Mackold. the hired man, and Helen
Vesback. who was staying at the Harris
house. Harris was instantly killed, but
the other three. after lowering for a
time between life and death, recovered.
After the shooting Pouch blew out his
own brains while standing on the dam
at Hales' pond near Prospect hill, his
body falling into the water where it was
recovered later. The motive for the
tragedy never became known. Mrs.
Harris leaves large estate.

CHAPTER XIV.

There was a merry breakfast on the
veranda next morning, and Alison, In her
white dress, with some dewy roses as
breast knot, looked the picture of hap
piness as she poured out the coffee.
Directly it was over, Greville took her
and Roger to see his grandfather.
Mr.. Moore was eagerly expecting them;
even before Alison's foot had passed over
the threshold his sightless eyes were turn
ed to the window, and his Welcome,
Sunny" reached her ears.
In another moment Alison was occu-
plying her old footstool at his feet, and
his fine wrinkled hand, little more trem-
bling than of old, was placed on her hair,
with a half audible blessing.
Dear Mr.. Moore, am so glad to see
you again"
''Have you missed US, little one? Not
half as much as we have missed Sunny"
And as she pressed her lips to his hand
in mute contradiction of this, he said, half
sadly: Child, I never thought to have
heard your sweet voice again, but the
good God would have it otherwise. Be
fore the message reached me it was re-
called; the gates were almost closed in
my face"
THANK God for that" she whispered;
"but they never told me that you were
ill until you were we'll again"
"Ah, Miss Darlington is a wise wom-
an; she thinks it wrong to burden young
spirits with sorrows that do not belong
to them. Ny boy there nearly broke his
heart about the old man; can you believe
it, Sunny?"
"You are like his own father" she re-
turned, softly. "He is outside on the
yeranda with Roger. Are you we'll
enough to speak to Roger?"
cay, ready and willing; he has grown
a fine lad, hear" And as Alison beck
oned to them the two young men came IN
through the window, and Roger sat down
by the old mans side.

'In short" says the commission.
''these tabulations are but an index to
the situation in the state as a whole,
and the situation in the state as a whole
today is only remnant of what actual
" existed when the utility law was
passed"
During the twelve months, 121 formal
complaints were fled regarding railroad
service, and 673 informal statements of
grievances; SO formal utility complaints
and 246 informal utility complaints;
II formal and SO informal complaints
regarding certificates of public con
venience and necessity, and 80 stock and
bonds complaints, making total of 11SO
matters brought before the commission
for adjudication. In the meantime four
complaints were brought against the rail
road commission contesting decisions. So
far the commission has been sustained in
all litigation contesting it's decisions or
curtailing it's powers.
Nearly forty pages of the report are
devoted to the work of the engineering
staff and its methods of valuing property,
and advising the public utility companies
of the state of methods for furnishing
better service.

Bring This About,

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. S.--A

vent the distribution of federal patron

er for her than for us, as she has not
naturally a good temper"
Neither had I, Allie. Many a girl has
sore fight to go through life as well as
missile; 1t is so easy to contract bad
habits, and so difficult to subdue them. 1
believe nothing but grace can enable one
to overcome a really bad temper"
And SO saying, Miss Darlington rose
from the table, and proposed that Roger
should go down to the river while she
and Alison disposed of the unpacking.

American Collars.

American collars have the reputation
of being the best in the world, and
story recently printed confirms this i'm
preston. A distinguished foreigner, who
visited New York city recently, COM
planned because its French collars went
to ruin so quickly in the laundry. The
laundryman insisted that the fault was
with the collars. and advised him to
try some of American make. The titled
tranger did so, and was pleased, and to
further put the matter to the test gave
/, new French collar and a new Ameri-
IN collar to The laundryman to test
them and see which would stand the

Hole in New French Coin.

The French Chamber is to be asked
shortly to sanction the minting of some
new nickel coins to the value of f3,000,
900. There will be two new pieces of
and 10 confines, and these will have
hole in the center, after the manner
of the Belgian nickel coins. The names
of the new coins and their weights are
still under consideration. The hole in
the center will effectually prevent any
confusion with existing silver coins
