An indication of the ACCESSIBILITY Of
dispensing charity through an organ
iZation is given by the statement SNOW
ing that at a cost of $cS.22, adequate
material relief was afforded in sixty
one cases. The material relief given is
enumerated as follows: Groceries and
meals, 5000; shoes and clothing,
$4.55; rent, 500; removal, $275;

country in the story The Prince of
the country. ProSpero, was strong
and hearty and defied the plague.
He called the flower of his lords and
ladies to visit him in a graet cas-
tellated palace, There, with ample
provisions, he shut himself and his
guests in with welded iron bars.
The Prince held a great masqued
ball and reveI. Poe describes the
establishment of the seven chambers
in which the revel was held and the
costumes of the masqueraders with
the most ingenious word-painting he
employs in any of his writings.
To and fro in the seven chambers
there stalked a multitude of dreams.
They took their hues from the weird
ly-colored rooms and danced with The
other dancers. But among the
dreams there was one who was not
invited and who was not at first per-
ceived.
The figure was tall and gaunt,
and shrouded from head to foot in
the habiliments of the grave says
the story. The mask which concealed
the viSage was made so nearly to
resemble the countenance of
stiffened corpse that the closest
scrutiny must have had difficulty in
detecting the cheat And yet all this
might have been endured, if not ap-
proved. by the mad revelers around.
But the hummer had gone so far as
to assume the type of the Red Death.
His vesture was dabbled in blood
and his broad brow, with all the fea-
lures of the face, was besprinkled
with the scarlet horror"
All shrank from the intruder ex-
cept the bold Prince, who advanced to
attack him:
He bore aloft drawn dagger.
and had approached, in rapid i'm
petuosity. to within three or four
feet of the retreating figure, when
the latter. having attained the ex-
tremity of the velvet apartment,
turned suddenly and confronted his
pursuer. There was sharp cry
and the dagger dropped cleaning
upon the sable carpet. upon which,
instantly afterward, fell PROSTATE in
death the Prince PrOSpero. Then:
Summoning the wild courage of de-
>pair, throng of the revelers at once
threw themselves into the black
apartment. and seizing the hummer,
whose tall figure stood erect and mo-
tionless within the shadow of the
ebony clock. gaSped in unutterable
horror at finding the grave cerements
and corpSelike mask which they
handled with so violent a rudenesS
untenanted by any tangible form.
And now was acknowledged the
presence of the Red Death. He had
come like IA thief in the night. And
one by one dropped the revelers in
the blood-bedewed halls of their revel
and died each in the despairins
posture of his fall And the life o
the ebony clock went out with tina
of the last of the gay. And the flame.
of the tripods expired. And Dark
ness and the Red Death held illimit
able dominion over all"

eyes burned with brilliant light and
his cheeks were a bright red, The
fever was at its height, but no one
suspected it,
He danced with every pretty girl
there As he whirled his partner
around in the old-fashioned waltz or
the modern tango lie pressed her to
him with more than ordinary

every girl. lie pressed his face close
to her and whispered amusing things

Barrett was not content with be
slowing his attentions on the girls
He slapped the men on the back and
put his arms around their waists. He
tickled some Of them on the back of
the neck, and he wrung their hands
till they WINGED.
The doors and windows of the hall
were tightly closed on account Of the
cold. The air grew hot and heavy.
ana every condition was favorable
TO the spread of the deadly infection.
The germs of small ppx are exhaled
from the breath and skin Of infected
persons and float about in the sur
rounding air. The calm, cold vision
of the scientist as he reads of that
amazing ball will call to mind IN
atmosphere loaded with a myriad
disease germs TO the SQUARE inch and
every human being present struggling
innocently to make the infection of
his neighbor as thorough as possible
AS the clock struck midnight the
wild merriment reached its height
At that moment ii is said there was
an Outburst of kissing. and man after
man seized his partner and pressed
his lips full upon hers. And Andrew
Barrett was always the leader of the

A TRAGIC occurrence in an
n American rural community
4 \ strangely recalls the fantastic
scenes of "The Masque Of the Red
Death" that most terrible of all of
Edgar Allan Poe's tales Of terror.
As the spectral intruder of POe's
story mingled among the guests Of
the Prince, spreading among them
the dreadful plague, SO Andrew
Barrett danced at a Maryland coun-
try bah and infected his companions
with the deadly germs of smallpox.

younger brother, William, recently
came home with IA slight indisposi-
ton. 1t did not trouble him very
much, even when he developed small
eruptions on his skin He thought
it might be chickCn-pox.
J Within a few days Andrew Barrett
developed the same type of indsposi-

companicd by chills and fever. but
these symptoms did not trouble him
very much. lie is robust, fun
blOoded, cheerful fellow, and by an

Just when the Illness attacked him
Andrew Barrett was invited to
ball given by Emery Price, near the
village. 1t was an affair to which
he was looking forward with great
pleasure. The prettiest girls and the
jolliest fellows in the neighborhood
were going to be there Andrew
would not for moment think of let
ring his passing illness prevent him
from having the fun that this great
entertainment promised
II was II big. simple, but very
merry affair. All the girls and young
men from miles around came. The
hall was decorated with pumpkins
