II is Well.


1t is well to carefully cultivate tastes.
Ruskin says, "Tell me what you like
and I will tell you what you are"
1t is we'll to study human character.
Bodenstedt says: "In the face of ev-
cry human being his history stands
plainly written; his innermost nature
steps forth to the light. Yet they are
the fewest who can read and under
stand"
It is well to "brush up against the
world" Goethe says: "Talent forms
itself in. secret. Character is the great
current of the world"
1t is well to be never cast down.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning says:
Let no one till his death
Be called unhappy. Measure not the work
Until the days out and the labor done.

Well, Hugh Stires is not only the Rev.
erend Henry Something-or-other. but
he is that man too! The crack Drained
old idiot would have told the tale all
over again only the crowd hustled him.
There he is now" he said suddenly
as light sprang up and voices broke
out on the opposite corner. 1.-The gang

enjoyment. II doubt IL there are many

Even as he spoke there came shout
of laughter and warning. The specta-
tors scattered in all directions, and a
stream Of water from well directed
hose deluged the itinerant and his mu-
sic box.
Ten minutes later the street preacher.
drenched and furious, was trundling

He betook himself 10 the filed court
room. The court lad opened two hours
before and half the jury had been Sc
lected. His attention was gwen first
to the bench where the prisoner sat
and second 10 Il chair close to the rail-
ing beside Mrs. Halloran's. where a
girls face slimmered palely under
light veil.
Toward this chair the hundreds Of
eyes in the room that morning had
often turned Since the day Mrs Hal
lOran had surprised .Jcssica at work
upon the rock statue she had kept her
counsel: but, as the physician had con-
iecturcd. the monument had been stunt
blcd upon and had drawn curious WIS.,
itors. Thus the name on the grave had
become common property and the coin
cidence had been chartered of. That
Jessica had chiseled the statue was not
doubted. She had bought the tools in
town, and old Paddy Wise, the black
smith, had sharpened them for her.
The story Prendergast had told in the
general store, too, had not been forgot
ten, and the aid she had given the
fever stricken man had acquired new
significance in face of the knowledge
that she had more than once been adj
mitted to the Jail with Fielder. From
the moment of the opening of the trial
Jessica had divided interest with the
prisoner.
Enthusiastically speaking, the EVIL
dcnce was flawless. DR.. Moreau, while
little known and less liked, had figured
in the town as promoter and an in
ventor of "slicl" stock schemes He
had come there with Hugh Stires from
Sacramento. where they had had n
business partnership of short duration.
! There had been bad blood between
them there, as the latter had once adj
mitted. The prisoner had pre-empted
the claim on Smoky mountain In an
abortive boom" which Moreau had
engineered, and over whose proceeds
the pair, it was believed, had fallen
out. He had then, to use the attorneys
phrase, "swapped the devil for the
witch" and had taken up with Prem
dergast, who by the manner of his TAX
iuS OIL ldu Hnaliy JuSuHeu Il jail rec
ord in another state. Soon after this
break Hugh Stires had vanished. On
the day following his last appearance
in the town the body of Moreau had
been found on the Little Paymaster
claim shot by Il cowardly bullet
through the back, Il fact which pre-
Guided the possibility that the deed
had been done in self defense. There
was evidence that he had died pain
full and lingering death. Suspicion had
naturally pointed to the vanished man,
and this suspicion had grown until,
after some months absence, he had
returned, alleging that he had lost his
memory of tue past. to resume his life
in the cabin on the mountain and his

Who were the mound builders Of
North America? The Rev. DIR. Bryce
of Winnipeg has examined large
number of these interesting struc-

A seasoned old lawyer was cross ex-
aiming a recalcitrant witness. The
question at issue was the identification
OF an individual charged with assault
and battery. For some time the law

tempt on the part of the witness to de-
scribe the guilty party. and at last,
becoming irritated, he put the follow
ing question:
"You say the assailant had black
hair?"
Il did, calmly replied the witness.
What is the color OF my hair?"
continued the attorney.
1T is brown" was the answer.
Thereupon the lawyer rose to his
feet, and snatching of his wig, which
disclosed pate as bald as an egg, bel
