No Cheeseparer.

The late George A. Hearn, the New
York millionaire art collector, was
noted for his generosity to his en-
ployes.
To a reporter who once congratu-
lated Mr. Hearn on the high wages
and unusual comforts that his en-
ployes received Mr.. Hearn said:
II don't believe in cheeseparing
economy in the treatment of those
whose hard work makes a mans sue
cess. Cheeseparing economy, applied
in that way, seems to be as mean and
paltry as the Yonkers man.
"A Yonkers man was summoned
from his evening paper by his wife's
frightened cry:
George, come quick The cook has
tried to kill herself inhaling gas!'

lacked the governor, that was all. He
crossed to the projecting stone in the
north wall, and pressed the corner of
the stone below. Nothing happened.
Hurriedly he pressed 1t again, harder,
but the cold even surface of the wall
stared him blankly in the face. Again
he pushed-with no result. A sickness
came over him. Was all his labor and
peril to go for nothing? Was he to be
