Could Not Pass the Examination.

A dilapidated specimen of man
stopped Kansas City merchant on the
street one morning and asked for a
cash donation. Mister he said in a
plaintive voice. II hain't had any worl;
to do for more'n a month, and I'm
powerful hard up"
"Been out Of work for a month %
said the merchant. what is your oc.
cupation?''

I'm the killing Departmental
mo, sir; in the cutting room"
"Then you can tell me perhaps how
many teeth COW has on her upper
jaw"
"Why-er-no, sir. never noticed"
That's too bad" said the merchant,
putting his hand in his pocket. "The
dime am going to give you would
have been dollar if you hadn't failed
in your examination"

He leaned forward and laid his hand
upon her arm.
eyes," he said. II know you will
face it bravely." His voice broke
again. II do not think-it-will be
more than-a week-and we can do
nothing"
The silence in the room was ike
something tangible, made more en-
phatic by the chirping of the sparrows
in the tree without and the rumble OF
the busy New York streets. :.
1t was the little lady herself who
broke the silence.
'That was a hard thing for you to
tell me-" she said gently. Then she
glanced down at her own clinched
hands. do you know" she went on
and a queer little smile fitted across
her face, II have torn my handker-
chief into ribbons-while sat here.
But-but it won't matter now-will it
II It is only to be a week?"
There was no answer from either OF
her listeners. Words were impossible
to them. Only a great admiration
dawned in DR.. James eyes as he look
ed into the bright, resolute ones that
faced him.
~Thank you very much for breaking
It to me $3.50 gently" she said In
that smooth, even tone that never
trembled or changed. 1T is-a very
great surprise. A-a-week- say?'
The great man bowed his head. OBJ
viously he could not trust himself to
speak.
"How stranger she said. "Next week
there is big ball-and lam going-1
mean was going dress will come
homeland l. How stranger
DR.. Bryant turned abruptly from the
window. She saw that his eyes were
full Of tears.
1T is so hard quite to realize" she
went on, that things will go on just
the same and I-not be here She
paused, glancing out at the green tree
and the sunlight.
Butt ought not to take up your
time" She rose and turned courteous
~ to DR.. James. "You have other peo-
pie to see, and I hope-I hope you will
not have another verdict to give-like
l-mine''-
For tLs. first time her voice shook a
little, but her eyes we're still steady.
"Wfu you have a cab called for me.
DR.. Bryant? I should like to go
strafght-home."
She walked from the great mans
room with head erect and unfaltering
steps, and, watching her, he said soft
~ to himself: 1T IS the women who go
up to the lannon's mouth without turn
ing hair. What plucky soul! My
God, what plucky soulv'
Looking from the window of the sit
ting room, the shabby woman saw the
little lady shake hands smilingly with
her doctor and drive away. And the
shabby woman said to herself, "How
young and happy she is, with all her
life before her-and such happy lifev'
But the shabby woman never knew
what the verdict had been which the
little lady had waited for so long!

CITY WAGES WAR
ON CUMBERLAND

Hazlehurst, Miss, March I6-The
Cumberland company is now begging
Hazlefurst to live up to an original
contract violated by the company
but the mayor and board of alder
men say: ''When you violated that
contract, you lost your franchise, and
now we want additional concessions,
or we will cut down your poles, and
put YOU out of business" And one
step toward that unless the company
gives in in the Incentive, will be the
filing of suits calling for SIoo for
each violation of the contract,
In 1890 the company entered into
contract with Hazlellurst that in con
sideration of its franchise, it would
furnish certain schedule TO its
patrons, and free intra-county serv-
ice for ten years. Five years ago the
company raised its rates. The eiti-
zens grinned and bore it, because the
company said it would give better
service.
Then last January the company
gave notice of discontinuances of the
| intra-county free service, and began
| to charge its customers for all phone
connections outside the corporation
limits.
+ The board of aldermen at the last
meeting decided the company had
forfeited its franchise and ordered
the company to remove its poles AM
wires from the streets in 80 days
the marshal being instructed to per
form the work, if it had not been
done within that time.
When the news reached the maisl
office, post haste to Hazlehurst came
Capt. Powell and r. P. Willing, ar
attorney. Supt Powell agreed TO re
instate the intra-county service, an6
| refund the patrons the amount col
lected for such service, but refused
to agree to a continuance OF this ar:
1 rangemerr for a longer time thar
called for in the original contract
/ The board refused to accept this, anf
it is cerfain The case will be carried
to the courts.

New York, March I6-The most

the running for the presidency.
"FIngy' Connors, chairman OF the

chief conspirators in the movement
against Bryan, and they are devising
means to defeat the great Commoner

man to defeat Bryan for -the nonaina-

promises TO be a very exciting one,
as Chairman Connors and Murphy
are determined in their efforts to
bring about their wishes, while on
the other hand, it is said that the
friends of Bryan are working equally
as hard to have the New York dele
cation instructed ifor him.
One OF the staunchest friends
Bryan has in New York is Burke
Cochran. At meeting of the lead
ers Of the Tammany braves today he
was read pat OFT of the party by
Murphy, and was debarred from the
important committees in the Tam
many organization This is believed
to be one of the attempts to wrest
the delegation from Bryan. Wher
asked why this was done, Murphy re
piled that Tammany wanted none but
democrats on the committees.
