gpistol and went back in the yard andfired one shot at the dog. He was atwork on the grapevines in the yard andwhen he finished his work .and wentback to the house he missed bis revolver.He looked in the yard for it but couldnot find it.

The officers say that it was this pistolwhich was found under a sprawlinggrapevine in Bullock's yard by theTurner boy, the finding of which gainedfor Bullock a new. trial. The pistol wasseen by the officers, and they say thatthe two revolvers are exactly alike.When the pistol was found in Bullock's *yard, one of the barrels contained onempty shell, but the Other chamberswere loaded. This conforms to the story .told by Daniel Minion. The pistol foundin the yard is in the possession of Bul-lock's counsel, but the pistol bought byhis- brother is in the possession 'of thepolice.

Franklin Pierce Strykersays that n o 'officer would carry such a poor weaponas the one found in Bullock's yard ; andthat the pistol is entirely unfit for theserious needs of a police official.

Bullock's counsel feel very confidentthat they will get for their client a ver-dict of a less degree of crime than murderin the first degree, and they hope for anacquittal. Prosecutor Heisley is confi-dent that the verdict will be the same asit was at the first trial.

The Chainless Bicycle is continually growing in popularity. Theprice is a little higher than that of chain wheels, but it is better than chainwheels. There is no "bade kash" as is the case with chain wheels, be-cause there is no chain to tighten at each revolution of the crank whenpower is applied" to"fh¥^e3air"Theclean than the chain wheel; and there is no danger of skirts or trouserslegs getting caught in the machinery., „.

I show in this picture all, the essential. parts of the chainless wheel. This wheel hasthe bevel gear, which is the only chainlessgear which has proven satisfactory during thetwo years, that chainless wheels have been inuse. .

The section of the CHAINLESS WHEEL

shown in the picture is the COLUMBIA. TheColumbia people were the introducers of thechainless bicycle, and they have had more ex-perience in the manufacture and jtestingofchainless wheels than all other manufacturersput together, The Columbia is the only chain- <less wheel I shall carry in stock phis year;though if any of my customers want chainlesswheels of other makes I will, of course, be gladto supply them.

I will be pleased to show the construction and mechanism of anychainless wheel to persons interested; but I shall devote morj effort toselling the, Columbia Chainless than any'other chainless\wheel| because Ibelieve it is the best chainless bicycle made.

The COLUMBIA CHAINLESS, 1900 model, costs $75. Theearjof Columbia Chainless wheels cost #50 and $6o ,

GRIM SABLE ISLAND.

Thte Wreck-Strewn Sand Bar .<««_ • • Doomed by the Sea. - <

o "Sable Island belongs to Nova Scotia,Ss 145 miles from Halifax and 85 miles•east of Cape Caneo," writes GustavKobbe in Ainslee's. "It is a treeless,ishruMess waste,, seamed by wind andwave and of ever changing aspect. Acone shaped hill near the east end,once a mere undulation of sand, is now•over 100 feet high and Is still growing.

. Other hillocks are gradually beingmowed away by storms. The hillocksare liable to be undermined so swiftlyand swept -out of existence that theyare carefully watched from the variousstations on the island, there beingDO certainty how far an inroad of tliesea will extend after each successfulattack. Even the coarse grass of theIsland grows In a different mannerfrom that of the mainland. It does not•bear seed, but ehoots up from rootswhich run along under the sand. Dur-ing the winter" the sand Is blown overthe grass and buries it sometimes threeor four feet deep, but the hardy bladesgrow up next season, as if the islandsands had protected them from thecold of winter In order to make themall the stronger. .• "

/'The island Itself is fighting for selfpreservation. It seems as if It drewships into Its fatal embrace as rallyingpoints for its loose and shifting sand,thus to protect itself by a bulwark ofwrecks against annihilation by the sea.Tradition says that when Sable islandwas discovered by Cabot in 1447 It was80 miles long and 10 miles wide. In1802, when a rescue station was estab-;lished there, it was only 40 miles long.Since then it has shrunk to but littlemore tfian 20 miles in length, and inwidth it is only a mile at Its widest.Within 28 years the western end losteeven miles.' Shoals over which theocean now surges are pointed out asformer sites of lighthouses. One ofthese was. so swiftly undermined bythe sea that It had to be abandoned•with the greatest precipitation. The•spot where once stood the superintend-ent's house is now under two fathoms•of water. - -

"The Island, rapidly" diminishing atIts western end, is slightly gaining atits eastern. Slowly, like a ship drag-

ging its anchor, it is moving eastward.Will it ever reach the edge of the•shoals, stand tottering on the brink ofthe abyss till it receives its coup de..grace and plunge over the submarinebank forever Into the depths? Unfor-tunately Its end will probably be lessdramatic. There Is good ground forbelieving that this gray sand bar will•slowly wear away until it becomes an-other submerged shoal added to an am-buscade already some 60 miles in

. length, for a line of breakers extends16 miles from one end of the island and"23 miles from the othor.

i"'""''In*tne^ace"ofYBlnlre"yeaf "Sable"Island claimed more than 200 lives. Infact, so many wrecks line the shoalsof this ocean graveyard that the newpile up on the old, like bodies heaped

. In one ditch; The Crofton Hall, an Iron.sailing ship wrecked a few years agoon the northeast bar, broke In. two'about amidships. The pieces have-drifted together .again, and the Island-ers suppose that she struck crosswiseupon an old submerged wreck and is'Settling over it, which accounts for thetwo parts coming together. Nor Is theisland satisfied with the awful tributewhich ft exacts from the living. Thesame Informant who 'writes me aboutthe Crofton Hall adds that the bark

.John McLeod, which .was wrecked offDevil's Island at the entrance to Hali-fax harbor, drifted ashore on Sable is-land bottom up, a wreck of a wreck!

"One of the grimmest'legends of Sa-ble Island dates from the wreck of theAmelia, and there is .enough evidenceof truth connected /with It to showwhat bloody deeds were added on thatoccasion to the terrors of shipwreck.Captain Torrens, who commanded the.gunboat.which was dispatched to SableIsland after the wreck of the Amelia,was one of the survivors of the seconddisaster. A passenger on the lost trans-port was Lady Copeland, on her wayto join her husband. The captain ofthe gunboat had been told that Bhowore on- her forefinger a ring of pecul-iar artifice.

"The story has It that Captain Tor-rens; wandering over the island onenight In search of possible survivors,was attracted by the piteous whining•of bis dog In front of .a small, openshelter known to have existed at thattime, but long since toppled to pieces.Approaching the shelter, ho WOB star-tled to Bee tho figure of a woman all IDwhite and holding toward him thebleeding stump of a forefinger. Whllohe was gazing at the apparition It rose,silently glided past him and dived Intotho sea. But time and again thereaftertho white woman with bleeding fore-finger was seen wandering ovor thosand hills.

"It 1B probably only part of tho weirdlegend that Captain Torrons, feelingnuro tluit a shocking crime had beencommitted, tracked tho guilty plrato

, until ho discovered lilo family on theconst of Labrador and learned that thering had been sold in Halifax. It In afact, however, that many years aftertho disaster Lady Copolnnd'a ring wasdiscovered In a Jowolry storo lu Hall-fax and was returned to her family.From that hour her ghost has ceauotlito haunt tho Inland." .,

MEET HIM WITH A SMILE.

A Rule That Elicits a Protest FromHarried Women.

• "I do wish some/One would write afW rules for men," said a young mar-ried woman recently. "I'm awfullytired of reading in magazines andnewspapers that I must meet my hus-band when he comes home from bis.office 'pleasantly and cheerfully,' thatthe house must be like a new pin, Imust, be prettily gowned, the dinnermust be daintily cooked and servedand^that he mustn't be worried with arecital of the troubles'of the day, nomatter If delirium supervenes for me. •"These precepts are all right theoret-'

Ically and under ordinary circum-stances are practical. Every womanfollows them instinctively who wishes.to retain her husband's admiration, butwhy aren't there a'few laws of thissort laid down for men to follow?

"Why isn't there some one to tellthem to look cheerfuFwhen they comela and to forbear to grumble if dinneris a trifle late for any good reason, tobe a little sympathetic and affection-ate and remember that theirs are notthe only troubles in the house?

"According to the ordinary writer, awoman's whole married life should bespent in practicing expedients to keepher husband's love from growing cold,while he apparently may pursue anycourse he pleasea, civil or uncivil, ty-rannical or gentlemanly, and be sure ofretaining hers.

"This may not be the masculine ideaof the case at all; the sterner sex maynot really expect to get the wholeglobe and give nothing in return, butit is not the writer's fault If they donjt'I sedulously keep all such articlesaway from John, for he's a very goodhusband, and I'm afraid such litera-ture would put Ideas into his head andspoil him. ,

"Now, poor unenlightened soul, hehas an idea that my side of the part-nership has its own worries, and hetries to help me straighten them out,but who knows how he would changeif he ever discovered that he is reallymade of china and has to be handledwith care to keep from being broken?"

THEY LIHE LITTLE ONES.

Men, as a Rule, are Fond of the So-ciety of Children.

"There's a very general idea abroadin the land that men don't care toboard in a house where there are chil-dren,", said one fltf the sterner sex yes-terday, "but that Is, I believe, a greatmistake, just as It Is an error to imag-ine that men generally don't like thelittle ones. Mo doubt there are.a fewcrusty old bachelors in the world whowould be horribly annoyed by patter-ing feet and shrill little voices in thehalls and on the' stairs, but I must con-fess I like-to-hear these noises,-and Ifind by questioning a number of myfriends—all young, unmarried men—that they do also. The children give asort of homy atmosphere that's verypleasant to even the most comfortlessplaces.

"Taking one thing with another, Ibelieve men are fonder of childrenthan women are anyhow. What Imean Is that more men than womenare fond of them. I know plenty ofthe gentler sex who wouldn't think ofgoing to a boarding house whereyoungsters were admitted, and I knowjust as many men who seek out thoseplaces and obtain a certain amount ofcomfort and satisfaction in their lone-ly lives in making- friends with theyoungsters and spending valuable timerepairing sundry broken toys or tellingwonderful stories In which giants fig-ure to an amazing extent.

"A child's affection is a very delight-ful thing, and most men feel flatteredto be the object of even a mild likingon the part of the small tyrants. Thereare half a dozen little ones In the housewhere I board, and I am the familiarfriend of every one of them. It's avery delightful and absorbing ac-quaintance, and I'm fast developingInto a story teller of such marked abil-ity that I'll make a fortune in thinway, no doubt, after awhile."-

Her Ambition.After the youthful but powerful In-

tellects of the observation class In aWest Philadelphia school had devoted15 minutes the other day to makingknown the results of their thoughtsupon naturo and surrounding objectsthe teacher diverted their minds byasking each of the'dozen youngsterswhat they meant to bo when theygrow up.

Ono precocious girl of 7, looking upat the strong, but not overly comely,face of tho teacher, whispered timidly,"If I'zo pretty when I gets big, I amgoing to bo an actress, but if I growsugly I'll bo a schoolteacher."

They All Like School."I'm hot going to school today 1" sho

.' How Oleomargarine Is Made. <

Margarine was first prepared by M.Mege Mouries. In this process 1,000kilograms of ground fat from freshly.slaughtered cattle; Is mixed wjtb 300kilograms of water, one kilogram ofpotassium carbonate and two sheep'sor pigs' stomachs cut Into pieces andheated at 45r degrees G. by steam fortwo hours. The fat rises and, afterbeing skimmed, Is run off and heatedat from 80 to 40 degrees C, with 2 percent of salt, the clear fat being Jhenpoured off from the sediment and cool-ed at from 20 to 25 degrees O.

The~ granular solid product Is cut in-to pieces, packed Into-linen and ex-posed to hydraulic pressure at about25 degreesC, with the production of-asolid cake of stearin and a liquid oleo-margarine, which Is passed through^cylinders and washed by a shower ofwater. Of the melted oleomargarineGO kilograms is mixed with 25 liters ofcows' milk and 25 kilograms of waterIn which has been macerated 100grains of finely ground mammarygland of the cow. AnnQtto is addedand the whole churned for about twohours and the product kneaded andwashed.

In the method employed In the Unit-ed States, Austria and some parts ofGermany pepsin Is not added, the orig-inal finely ground fat being subjectedto a temperature, below 50 degrees O.for some time. The oleomargarine Ismixed with • sour milk and a smallquantity of bicarbonate of soda andannotto and Is churned. After about15 minutes It Is cooled in ice and thenkneaded to eliminate the water, thenreturned with more sour milk and isready for sale.

A Healthy Locality.To all appearance Ardnamurchan, on

the west coast of Scotland, is a greatplace for longevity. Whether It Is be-cause of the soft and salubrious cli-mate or the remoteness pf the placefrom the centers and the sins of popu-lation or something indigenous to theArdnamurchan nature it would be rashto say, but certain it Is that an Ardna-murchanlte seems to have a goodchance of becoming a patriarch. With-in 30 years many of'the Inhabitantshave been cut off at yerylng ripe agesbetween 100 and 112.-'

The new township law has createdeoine confusion over tho raising of moneyfor improvements in townships whereincorporated towns are located. Shrews-bury township is one of these townships.The township committee and the towncommissioners are both desiroutf.of deal-ing fairly with each other, and a confer:enceof the two boards is to be held onSaturday afternoon. • The new lawmakes no provision for a division of Memoney raised for improvements, but thisdefect Can be overcome by an agreementbetween the two governing bodies, andthere is no doubt that a satisfactory re-sult will be reached by the conference.

OCEAKIC'S INCOBPORATION.

JFrqnk McJUahon Gives. His l i e itson the Matter.

To THS ErSroB op THE REGISTER :In view pf the fact that my name has

been mentioned as being among tbosewho withdrew without voting at themeeting held to decide the question ofincorporating Oceanic, and thut it is alsosaid it Is our intention to press the mat-ter further at orioe, I desire to slate thatI do not intend to take part in any suclimovement.

I do acknowledge that I am in favorof incorporation, and fully believe it isfor the best interests of the place; butas the majority dp not think jso. thatshould settle the matter fof therepresent;

That the summer residents of theRuroson road do not favor it is also amatter of great importance. They areheavy taxpayers and should have greatconsideration. I do not think it wise topress it without their co-operation.That their opposition is< based on thegeneral idea that boroughs increasetaxes and without careful investigationof this particular case1, is my opinion.. Mr. Snyder came to see me when the

matter was first agitated and I told himI should oppose it, believing then itwould increase taxation. But at thefirst public meeting held, when thefriends of the movement showed that wewould, have about $15,000 to spend lorpublic improvements instead of about$7,000, as now spent here, (these figuresare based on last year's operation,) Iimmediately changed to the other side.^That the leaders of the'opposition are

"largely tnMen"ce*a* by'politteifiraiipa'ftrit'to every one in close touch with themovement; and they have been activein trying to influence our summer resi-dents, who are not familiar -with thisphase of the question and take it forgranted that their statements are madein good faith.

Statements against the policy of thetownship committee have been madewithout facts to warrant them. I thinkthey are very estimable gentlemen andtreat us with great consideration; butthey represent, and must legislate for,the whole township and not for any par-ticular section. If we are to be governedby a township committee, I think itwould be very hard to improve on thepresent board.

I am looking at the formation of aborough from a selfish standpoint, hop-ing to have all my tax spent for mybenefit instead of halT'of it, the balancebeing used somewhere else. ,.

The Middletown Collectorship.To THE EDITOR OF THE REGISTER : ,

In relation to the candidacy of GeorgeW. Evans for the Republican nominationfor collector, it has been reported in thepapers that Mr. Evans is running for thenomination for the purpose of gettingsquare with Collector Griggs for being•turned down as road overseer in his dis-trict last year. Mr. Evuna says he isnot in the field to get square with Oapt.Griggs. He has been solicited to takethe office of collector, and has consentedto be brought forward as a candidate for

A the office. Should he receive the nom-• * ination, and after it the sanction of the

people, he will endeavor- to perform theduties of collector in an honest, straight-forward and lawful manner. Whatevermoneys come into bis hands shull bo re-tained until such time as the lawful dis-tribution commands they shall be paidout, when they will be distributed to thoproper persons directed to receive themunder and by the laws governing thosame. '

Tho annual report of Shrewsburytownship shows $03,023.08 as tho totalamount of tho duplicate, with #4,373.21!as uncollcoted taxes, of which $1,300was paid in after tho report waB inado,leaving an uncollooted tax of only$3,073.28 at tho time Middletown's re-port wns made.

Middlotown township's report shows$40,133.03 as tho total amount of thoduplicate, with uncollcuted taxes of19,309.08.'Thus with less thnn half tho amount

of Shrewsbury's duplicate, Middletown'a• ^present collector shows more than tliroo

times tho amount of unuollcotcd taxes asin Shrewsbury, Taking tho reapectivo

' amounts of tho two duplicates in consid-eration, Mfddletown's uncolloctod tux tosix times as great n« it Is in Shrewsbury.

TOWN TALK.

A telegram to THE REGISTER thiemorning from Trenton states thatCharlie Snyder's amendment to the newtownship law will not pass the senate.ThiBttmendment provided for the reten-tionin oflice of in'e't'wo township coih-mittee'men whose terms have notexpired. The defeat of the amendmentwill make it necessary for these men,who were elected for a stated term, togo to the expense, inconvenience, andtrouble of making another campaign, ifthey are to serve out the term for whichthey were originally elected.

To the Republicans in the legislaturethe passage of a law legislating men outof an office to which they bad been fairlyelected may be good political tactics. I tprobably, in some cases, threw out ofoffice some committeemen to whomsome of the Republican senators orassemblymen were opposed. But toTHE REGISTER the passage of such a lawwas unjust and contemptible.

* # *Every man who was thus legislated

but of office should be put on bothtickets at the election this spring. Nomatter what the man's politics may be,he is entitled to serve out the term forwhich he was elected. The party whichputs new candidates up against any ofthese men who may desire a reelectionshould be beaten all along the line. TheRepublican legislature which passedsuch a law must have been made up ofnarrow-minded bigots; but the people ofthe various townships in the state havethe power at the coming election tonullify, the legislature's action in thisparticular,

MONEY FOR A CHOIR,A P U T AT SHREWSBURY ON

WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

The Plav Written by Sirs. Anna F.Jennings and Given in iibraruHall for the Benefit of the ChoirFund of Christ Church.A.play in two acts, entitled "ALiter-

ary SoireeV1 was given in Library hall atShrewsbury last Wednesday night forthe benefit of the choir fund of Christchurch of Shrewsbury. The play was'original, it having been written by Mrs.AnnaV. Jennings of Shrewsbury. Thosewho took part in the soiree were amateurs.The hall was filled, a number being pres-ent from Red Bank, and about $00 wascleared.

The first act of the play showed theinterior of the house of Eezekiah Arm-strong, an old farmer. Tbe part of 2H>.Armstrong was taken by Charles V.Hope. Mr. Armstrong was a gooS-hearted man, but was a lazy, shiftlesssort of a fellow, while his wife, the partof which was taken by Mrs. Jennings,was .a thrifty, industrious woman andwas always finding fault with her hus-band for his laziness. There were twodaughters in the family, one of whom,Maria, was fond of literature, and theother, Kate, was a society girl. MissEdith Bradford took the part pi'KateArmstrong, and Mrs. Leon Cubberlytook the part of Maria Armstrong. Mrs.Armstrong's daughters were desirous offorming a society. They had arrangedto hold meetings and literary exerciseswere to be given at these meetings. ,

The second act of 'the "LiterarySoiree" showed the dress rehearsal forthe first meeting of the society. Thiswas' held at the Armstrong home and,as is usually the case in society plays,there was much love-making. ' A lovescene from "Romeo and Juliet" was;iven by James Tucker, who was repre-

sented by Leon Cubberly, and by MissNora Qaines, the part of which wastaken by Miss Cora W. Jennings. Mr.Tucker was very bashful and very clumsy,and he stuttered. In the love scene be-tween Romeo and Juliet he stood on achair and gazed over a screen at Juliet,who was sitting below him in front ofthe screen. At the most effective partof the interview, and at the time whenMr. Tucker thought they would "bringdown the house" at the first meetjng^ofthe newly-organized society, he suddenlyloBt his footing and " brought down" thescreen. Kate Armstrong was to give anumber of Delsarte poses at tbe firstpublic meeting of the society but, owingto objections of her mother about the

jamin John Parker, who took the part ofSam Durliam, her lover, agreed to give aSpanish dance. Mrs. Leon Cubberly, asMaria Armstrong, was to read a paperat the meeting of the society on the"Obliteration of Species." The paper wasvery long, and was as prosy os scientifio discourses are usually supposed tobe. The guests could nolf stand it tolisten to it.and one by one they fled,much to the annoyance and disgust ofthe reader of the paper. Duets weresung by Miss Bertha I^ing, as Miss Nel-lie Winter, a guest at the Armstronghome, and by William Borden, who tookthe part of Mortimer Woodley.

The play ended, of course, with every-body happy. Two engagements^ wereannounced in the final scene, and whatat one time seemed a tangled love skeinturned out as pleasantly as love tangleaalways do—in plays.

At the conclusion of the play refresh-ments were served and the affair endedwith a dance.

MINING CAMP TRICES.

One Instance Where a SchemeWorked the Wrong Wau.

"There Is a great deal that is out ofthe ordinary In mining," said SamuelMott of Boise City, Ida., "although Ithink from personal experience it Isprobably more so in t ie relation thanIn the actual ' happening. . In everymining camp I havfii known there

working a vein had #<jne* through Intothe next claim In taking out the ore,and 'consequently were taking outwhat wasn't theirs. These claims itwas always difficult to substantiate,for the reason that the offender, ofcourse, would not allow the offended toenter his workings, and without a sur-vey it would be impossible to make outa case. Every subterfuge and excusepossible was resorted to to get into asuspected mine.

"I remember one case In an apex ofa vein suit, where the workings hadbeen temporarily shut down and a mancalled 'Johnny Come Lately,' heavilyarmed, was on guard. The other sidehad tried again and again to get by'Johnny,' but bad always failed, wli'enone man, who knew that 'Johnny' wasan enthusiastic hunter, hired an ac-quaintance of his to stroll by with agun over his arm audto engage 'John-ny' In a couvui'sadou about 'bar.' Itworked,to a charm, and while he wasthus .engrossed they managed to slipIn and survey tbe mine.

"Then there was the case of theLast Chance against the Tyler. In thiscase the workings happened to run to-gether, and the Last Cliance peoplewere working the same vein from un-derneath that the Tyler owners wereworking from on top. Knowing theywould sooner or later break through,the Tyler people prepared sniuflge—that Is, saturated cordwood that wouldgive forth a tremendous smoke—which,they hoped, would drive the .LastChance people out of tbelr mine. Butwhen they finally set It off It went theother way and made the Tyler work-lugs absolutely untenable. Indeed threoof tho miners were overcome and wererescued only with great difficulty."

A PARTAXLY OBEYED ORDER.

The Reporter Returned, But theJfwle Was a Total X(W». -' j \

Harmon W. Brown of Ohio, who helda responsible place ion the staff of Gen-eral Rawllns during.the civil war, tellsthe jfollowing story of - the, general'streatment of an intrusive-reporter:

"One day before Vlcksb'urg the cor-respondent of a certain paper went toGeneral Eawlins'for news.

"The general pondered a moment andtook me one side. . .

" 'Take this young man,' he said, 'upto the top of those trenches within astone's throw of the enemy. Take himup there and lose him. I don't carewhat happens. Understand?'

"I said I did, and we started throughthe lines. Both of us were mounted. Ipointed out a crest overlooking the en-emy and told him, he could get a goodview from that point.

"'Ain't you coming with me? heasked.

' 'No,' I replied. 'I know all I wantto know.' .

"So he started alone. As soon as thetop of his hat and the tips of bis male'sears showed above the crest there camea volley, of musketry ten yards widethat cut the air like a big knife blade.The crown of his hat was sliced off aswith shears. He managed to drop tothe ground In safety, but the persever-ing mule" was literally filled with lead.After the firing ceased the correspond-ent crawled to the spot where I was.

' 'Did you learn what you wanted toknow?' I,asked.

"/Eh?" gasped the correspondent,wiping his face and looking at hishands to see whether they were bloody.'What I wanted to know? Oh, yes, ofcourse. Tlie enemy are over that ridgeall right.'

"When we returned to headquarters.General ,Rawlins saw us and bailedme. I went inside his tent.

" 'I thought I told you to lose thatconfounded reporter somewhere,' hesaid testily.

.V-'I- did the best, I could, .sir,' I an-swered. .'He came back, but I havetlie honor in report-tlie mule a totalloss.'"-

"Is Mr. Young-er in?" he asked ofthe young woman stenographer, withwhom he seemed to be acquainted.

"You. mean Mr. Youn-ger?" she re-plied, pronouncing the "g" hard.

way?" asked the caller, feigning sur-prise. "Of course it's his privilege topronounce it as he chooses; there's noset rule for pronouncing names. Butyou know Y-6-u-n-g-e-r doesn't i^iellYoun-ger, but Young-er."

"No, I didn't know It," she answeredas one who doesn't care. "But here heconies now! That's him going into hisprivate office."

"Excuse me, but that's not him.""No? Pray, who is it then?""It's he."They stared at each other for ten

seconds, and then the young man said:"Will you introduce me to Mr. Young-

er?" ,"No!" she retorted. "Since you seem

to know so much more about him thanI do, I think you'd better introduceme."1 There was an ominous click In therattle of the typewriter as the youngman entered the prlvntp office and pre-sented his card -

A Navajo Superstition.No Navajo Indian will ever make a

camplire of wood from a tree that wasstruck by lightning or that might havebeen. If such a lire Is made by an Ir-reverent white man, the Indians willretire to a distance, where they cannotfeel the heat or smell the smoke, andthey will go to sleep In their blankets,flreless and Bupperless, rather than eatof food prepared on that kind of a fire.Tho Navajo believes that. If he conies•within the Inllueuce of the flame h*ewill absorb some of tho essence of thelightning which will thereafter be nt-trnctfid to hiqj nnd sooner or later willkill him. Up hi the mountains morethan half the great pines are scarredby lightning, but no wood from them Isused. Almost any old Navajo cnu unr-rate instances where the neglect ofthis precaution has resulted disastrous-ly, for men aro sometimes killed bylightning In a region where tuunder-Gtoi'ins nro frequont, and It Is but astep from the effect to tho cause.

HABITS OF THE WASP.

Sow This Insect Keeps Fresh Bleatfor Its Voting to Feed On.

The wasp is not a vegetarian like thebee, and tne cement-making waap hasbefore her the problem of supporting heryoung with meat, rather than withbread. As her eggs are laid out in hotweather, and as enough food must bestored in the cell with the egg to maturethe young insect, the question is howto preserve the meat fresh for sa long atime. She meets . the difficulty thus :After a tube is finished except at oneend, which is left open, she flies off on ahunt for spiders, She finds a fat, healthyone, pounces upon it, stings it, and carriesit off and places'it in a mud cell. Sherepeats this process until she has placedas tnany spiders in the tuhe as, accord-ing to her judgment, will be needed.She then lays an egg in the cell and•walls up the opening.

The remarkable thing about this per-formance is tlfe magic effect of hersting. . Whetlie( it tis the, result of asubtle poison o^ whether it is a special^potin;theipliaelva5he£Bausiyfitemwhere

' Every pair warranted new stylish shoes, made to order for me this season, onlyreason for reduction given above. , ' •

the sting is inVfted we do not know.Certain it is'thaVafter'being thus stungthe spider livesfon in a paralyzed con-dition for weeks'', and even months. Itcan move only'I slightly, and remainshelpless in its hiud sepulchre until thewasp egg hatches into a voracious grub,which at once falls to and eats withjreat relish the meat thus miraculouslypreserved.

Whether the wasp sting renders thespider insensible to pain or not is a ques-tion not yet settled.: However, thechances are in favor of the theory thatit does. Anyway, we need waste nosympathy on the spider, the most blood-thirsty of all the little people of the fieldsand woods. There is a s«nse of retribu-tive justice in the thought of a spiderhelpless and at the mercy of a small in-sect which it would have mercilessly de-voured had it been able.

So we need not accuse our alert, in-dustrious cement maker of any un-reasonable cruelty if she, like us, insistsupon a meat diet for her young, norneed we have any fear of her sting, forshe seldom uses it as a weapon of offenseor defense.

CHINESE JUSTICE.

Story of Li Hung Chang and JtienWho Tried to Poison Htm.

Of Li Hung Chang numberless storiesare told in Chinese society. Now andthen one reaches this country throughour consuls in China.

On one occasion when tho premier washaving a bitter fight with some of themore conservative merabersof thoTsung-li-Yamen he received as apreaentarnag-nififcent cake, which he had reason tosuspect contained poison. He put th'ecake aside and set all his wonderful ma-chinery to work to find out who was ittthe bottom of the plot. Theinvestigationwas partly successful, the crimo beingtiaced to threo men, of whom one, atleast, was absolutely guilty. Li had thetrio arrested and brought to hia Yamen.When they arrived they were usheredinto his preeenco and wero received inIns eouitliest manner. Tho cake wasproduced, with the remark that " politeiies» forbade his tiwting it until tho threeconeroua donore had had an opportunityto onjoy its excellence."

Li cut the cake and ono of his servitorshnncM it lo the unwilling guests, Eachtook a pieco and ate, or pretended to eatit.

TANNING SHARES' SKINS.

A Xeu> Industry Which Slav Soon BeEstablished on the Pacific Coast.If reports from Puget Sound are to be

credited, a new industry will soon he es-tablished on the Pacific coast. It will bethe tanning of shark skins, which arevery common there, particularly in thewaterB of America's Asiatic possessions.Like all cartilaginous fishes, the shark'sskin is very, tough. The dogfish alongthat coaat is a species of shark whose hidehas been manufactured into shagreen tosome extent., The hides of this class of fish possess

peculiar merit! like that of the alligator,which is also a water animal, though itis a reptile. One peculiarity of sharkBltin is its non-porous character. Thebundles of fibers or little pores that areeverywhere preseut in the skin of the or-dinary mammals, and which serve asventilators and channels for secretionsin life nnd give the natural "'grain" inthe leathers of commerce, are entirelyundiscernible in the shark skin.

The result is to render tho lutter proofrigainst water nbsorption. For, althoughby skilful tanning the pores of the calf'sor other skin may be plumped, and thebody of tho hide solidified, the result ofmuch water exposure is to loosen up thefiber and gradually permit absorption.The shark's hide, not being of a porousnature, is nuturally free from thin defect.But the advantage is also a disadvantagein some respects. Tho non-porous leatheris practically air-proof, as well ns water-proof, and this Is asorious defect when itsuse for the leather for footwear is consid-ered. Boyond this tho shark's Hltin maybo tunnod in a very smooth, aoft, durable,non-oracking lonther. For this munyuses should, and doubtlesB will, bo found,and, as tho hido supply is abundant nndtho market not overcrowded, thoroahouldbo much to encourugo such a project anthat roforred to on Fugot Sound,

THE ELECTION

The 3Vew Township Jjaw and Its.; Effect on the Raising of Money

for Township Street Lights andTownship Police Service.The political situation in Shrewsbury

township is different this spring fromwhat it has been for-many years past.This change in the situation is due to the

, new township law which was passed lastwinter. This lawVnot only legislated allthe present township committeemen outof office, but it changed in very greatdegree the powers of township commit-tees, giving them,power to make variousimprovements, which before could, not

jbedone. . • • • • / . ' . ' • •

„, Among the new powers given to town-ship committees was the power to lightand polioe townships wherever the com-mittee thought such lighting and polic-ing should be done. In Oceanic there isa demand for both townBhip lights andtownship polioe; at Rumson Neck thereis a demand for summer police, and inthe villages of Shrewsbury and LittleSilver a few street lights have beenasked for.

The money for doing these thingsmust be voted by the people, in the sameway that the usual township moneys areraised. As Red Bank is a part of thetownship of Shrewsbury/. Red Bankwould have to vote on the question of rais-ing this money. Red Bank, however,has to raise money for lighting and po-licing the streets of its own town, and tomake Bod Bank pay taxes also for light-ing and polioing the streets of the township would subject the people of thetown to a double tax—one tax for light-ing and policing the streets of Red Bank,.'and a similar tax for lighting and polic-ing the streets of the/township.

The only way in which the townshipoould make the improvements desiredby the township and yet not deal un-fairly with the town of Red Bank wouldbe for the -entire township to raisemoney for street lights and.police ser-vice, and then for the township, whenthe money ts'-nilBed^to pay back to thetown of Red Bank the proportion which

js the method which is pursued in rel&tion to the road money raised in thetownship, and by pursuing this methodboth the town and township get backexactly the amount for toads whichthey have paid in road taxes.

The township committee have giventhe matter a great deal of thought andhave concluded that this is the onlymethod whereby justice can be done toboth the town and township in the mat-ter of raising thiB money, and that willyet allow the township to make the de-sired improvements. The township com-mitteemen think that' $3,000 will beneeded to furnish the lights and policeprotection demanded by the township.This would require a tax of $1 on athousand on property in the townshipouteideof the town of Red Bank. If atax of $1 on a thousand were raised onthe property of the whole township, ineluding the town of Red Bank, therewould be raised, in addition to the sumof $3,000 needed by the township, anadditional sum of $3,500 or BO whichwould be paid by the town. When thetaxes are collected next fall the moneyraised by the town for this purposewould be paid over to the town, and thiswould loft-er the rate of taxation in RedBank by juBt that amount, which wouldbe a reduction of $1 on a thousand inthe rate of town tax.

The township committee think thatwith this $8,000 they can furnish from100 to 130 street lights, either gas orincandescent electric, and can also employ what polipemen or marshals arenoeded in the towpship. It is proposedto run a row of eleotrio lights througlFair Haven and Oceanio, and to putsorao lights on tho cross streota in thosevillages. Eleotrio lights are also pro-poBod for Little Silver; and Jn Shrews-bury, where gas mains are laid, gnslamps aro proposed. The plans for policepromotion havo not yet boon formulatedbut they inoludo the servico of Bovorapolioemen at Oceanio and RuniBon dur-ing the summer, and possibly ono or twoduring the entiro year,

A conferenco botwecn tho town commlBoionorB and township oominittco hatboon proposed for Saturday afternoonwhen it is cxpeotod that an ngroemonwill bo ronohod'concerning the miningof money for thooo purposes, and itdivision botwoon tho town and townshipin such a tiiannor that no charge ofi un-fairness «6uld possibly bo mado,

matter explained very thoroughly at theprimaries this year, and this has increasedhe sentiment for a union primary meet-ng. All over the township the senti-

ment is universal that the town com-mitteemen who were legislated out. of'ffice should be reSlected without opposi-

tion. This sentiment is so strong tbbtither party which put a candidate in op-

position to either Forman R. Smith orBorden Hance would lose many votes byuch a course. So far as known there is

no opposition to any of the other officialswho go out of office this year and thereis a very strong sentiment prevailingthat a union ticket should be made. Austice of % e peace is needed in the

eastern part of the township and Levi B.VarjNeat, whose term expires this year,would get practically the entire vote ofOceanic and Fab: Haven. This wouldnsure his election, no matter what sort

of opposition the Democrats should maken ether parts of the township. The

same is true of Justice Henry J. Child ofRed Bank, whose term as justice aleo'ex-pires this year. Mr. Child is a Democrat,but bis reelection is certain, and any op-position to him on the part of the Repub-licans would be futile.

The reelection of W. Tabor Parker astownship committeeman, George B,Snyder as freeholder and Albert °L.Ivins as assessor, are equally certain,The new township law. cut down thenumber of constables in a township tothe same number as the number of jus-tices of the peace, and this will reducethe number of constables in Shrewsburytownship by one. James Walsh's termwould have expired this year if he hadlived, and the other constable whoseterm will expire is William H. Wilson.No Democrat has appeared who is wil-ling to run against Mr. Wilson in the faceof the almost certain defeat that wouldbefall him, and this leaves only the sur-veyors of the highway and a commis-sioner of appeals over which a contestcould be waged.' These offices are com'paratively unimportant and to make apolitical fight for them seems ridiculousto everyone. The offices are now "heldby Republicans. The pay for the com-missioner of appeals ia about $3 for theyear. It often happens that the sur-vey ore of-tlie highway are not calledout during the entire year and hencehave no opportunity to make a dollarduring their terms.

The Republican township executivecommittee will hold a meetingMonday night to decide on the date oftheir primary and to take such otheraction as they may deem advisable. Itis expected that the matter of the appro-priations will have been settled by thattime by the conference between thetown and township officials. The Demo-crats have not as yet issued the call fortheir primary, and they apparently arealso waiting for the appropriation mat-ter to be settled before they act.

A BUSINESS PLOT SOLD.TWO NEW STORES TO BE BUILT

ON BROAD STREET.

Arthur F. Swift, of ShrewsburyBuus a' Lot iQoclOO feet at theVorner of Broad- vritd JUonmouihStreets. •)):.-. .•[. ' ;.Last Wednesday Francis "White sold

;he corner of the Dr. Charles Hubbardlot, at the corner of Broad and Mon-

mouth streets, to Arthur F, Swift ofShrewsbury. The Hubbard plot has afrontage "of eighty feet on Broad street.

Mr. Swift bought a tract 40x100 feet,not counting five feet which will beused for a sidewalk. This leaves 40 feet

f the Broad street front of the Hubbardlot still unsold. Early in the spring Mr.Swift will build two business places onhis lot. His present intention iB to coverthe entire lot with the buildings, but as;his would shut off all light in the rearif the stores, in case the adjoining lot on

Monmouth street should be built on, hemay decide to make his buildings' lessthan 100 feet in depth. He will prob-bly build three stories high, his present

intention being to use t ' e third floor ofboth buildings as. a storage loft.

Mr. Swift Bays>he has a tenant for oneof the stores as soon asithe building isready for occupancy, j

Mr. Swift is a resident of Shrewsbury.He moved to that place from Brooklynabout six years ago; when he bought theRobert VanSchoick place from EugeneWalling, who had bought it from RobertVanSchoick a few years before. Mr.Swift has retired from active business,but he makes a trip to New York aboutonce a week to look after real estatewhich he owns in Brooklyn. He recentlysold apiece of property in Brooklyn forabout the Bum be pays for the lot on'theHubbard tract.

The Broad street sidewalk will bewidened about five feet, and the build'ings will be set back on a line with theother business buildings on that street.

W. W. CONOVER'S ESTATE.

All BUB M^anfi$\jthiiiin:;W. Tabor— JPffrfter**' Eta'ndttiope Sold.Last w£ek an agre6n»eht was_ reached

between1 thf heirfrof l^^s^WUiiaiaw; 'Conover whereby: his'entire .estate hasbeen put in tbehan'ds of William TaborParker of Little Silver for sale. Authority has been given to Mr. Parker to dis-pose of the property in whatever wayseems to him to be for the best interestof the estate. The property consists ofthe farm at Port-au-Peck, containingabout 380 acres; the Conover park tracton Rumson bluff,' near Seabright; theElsmere tract of 50 acres on the Rumsonroad, his residence property on the riverbank at Red Bank, and a large amountof smaller tracts of lands.

Last week ,'E, W. Arrowsmith, Sr.,and Judge William H. Vredenburgh ap-peared before Judge Conover and askedthat they each be allowed $500 from Mr.Conover's estate as counsel fees. Whenthe account of George O. Watermanthe executor, was filed, Mr. Conover'sdaughter, Virginia, wife of Justus E.Ralph, took many exceptions to the ac-count. Mr. Arrowsmith and Mr, Vred-enburgh were the lawyers employedby Mrs. Ralph. When the objectionswere heard before Judge Conover thecourt sustained the objections to theamount of less than $000, leaving theother items, amounting to over $02,000undisturbed. Edmund: Wilson, thecounsel for the estate, argued that atleuat part of the counsel fees of the op-posing party should be paid by the per-sons employing them, particularly asthe objections had been proved to bepractically without foundation, and alsobecause the executor had offored to givoall the information obtained at tho hearing without compelling tho estate to goto the expense of a lawsuit, JudgeConover reserved his decision as to thoamount of counsel foe the estate shouldpay tho two men.

FOUR HOUSE MOVINGS.

Slaithews Bros. Building a BigTriiekfor Moving Souses.' .

For the past week Matthews Bros, ofRed Bank have been moving a houserom the Child property on East Frontbo a lot on the east end of Mechanictreet which William \ Child recently

bought from Benjamin H. Ford. Theot ia in the rear of Mr, Ford's residence

property on East Front street.' The lotIs 50x160 feet and Mr. Child paid $600or it. Mr. Ghildwill remodel the house

and willoffer it for rent. The house whichis being moved had been built in two sec-ions and the seotions were cut apart

before moving thetn,"as the entire houeewould have been too large to get throughhe streets. If the weather is good, the

work of moving the building will befinished about the end of next .week.

As soon as the Child building is movedMatthews Bros, will move Michael Ben-nett's house near Seabright to a new lo-cation at Hintelmann's store at Oceanic.This building will be, moved by loadingt on a set of trucks and hauling it witb

horses. The truck wheals are eight feethigh, and the truck has a, spread oftwenty feet. The wheels have a tread

inches broad, to prevent them fromsinking into the ground when the weightof the house is on it. The wheels arebeingmade in George Matthews's shop onFront street. Some idea of the weightand size of the wheels may be gainedfrom the fact that the lumber alonewhiob has goneTnUTthe conBtructioif ofthe wheels cost over $60. The truckwas built expressly for house movingpurposes, and it will carry a load offifty tons.

Matthews Bros, have moved a build-ing for William Mears of Seabright fromnear Frank McMahon's greenhouses atOceanic to a location near'John Hintel-mann's Btore, The building was 16x34feet, 3i stories high.

They have also moved a house fromthe Taylor estate at Pintard's gully, inthe eastern part of the town, to Al.Holmes's lot iffSouth Goosetown. Thiswasasmallone-storyhouse. Mr.Holmesia using the building as a kitchen.

THE TBAIN BPOTTEK.

An Official Who is Well JP«(<I by theHailroads.

A little over three months ago therealighted from an Oakland ferryboat aflemure little woman, who passed alongwith the crowd, with scarcely a glance16 the right or left. Her petlteness at-tracted some attention and her mod-eBty more, but no one who observedthe air of confidence with which shemade her way to the public carriagestand would have imagined that suewas a stranger and that for the firsttime In her life she was visiting Sanuranclsco. ,

'Giving a few quiet directions and en-tering a cab, she was whirled awayfrom the hustling throng and driven to.a hotel. Later the register containedan unassuming,"Miss Waller, Chica-go." Her room was No. 11 Calling aprivate messenger, she dispatched amessage to a firm of lawyers, and thatevening, promptly at 8 o'clock, a pros-perous looking, Veil dressed gentlemanentered the hotel, glanced at the regis-ter, and, ignoring the clerk's question,"Do you want anything?" passed bythe waiting elevator and walked upthe stairs. . . *,

That was Tuesday evening. OnWednesday morning Miss Waller mighthave been seen boarding a Marketstreet car bound for the ferry, whereshe purchased a train ticket and cross-ed to the mole^She returned late onFriday evening, and Saturday morningthe same messenger took a sealed let-ter to the same lawyers, but tbis timethere was no evening caller. Saturdayevening she left town again for a fewdays, and these trips were continueduntil one day last week, when, by themerest chance, the object of her re-peated outings was discovered. On thisoccasion she was the possessor of a

. ticket to a city near the Missouri river,and she smilingly confessed that shewas bidding goodby to San Franciscofor some time to come.

As an Illustration of the care whichshe must exercise in order to enhanceher value to the big railway- corpora-tions in this country It ifTonly neces-sary to state that In the ten yearswhich she has devoted to the business

*of spotter, or, as she would probablyprefer to have it called, private de-tective, she has doubtless made fewerfriends than any one else in the coun-try. And while she will not allow anyone to get thoroughly acquainted withher, she docs not make^enemies. Thatwould be rulnom.

It Is an unwritten law of the rail-roads that every employee Is open tosuspicion until he has been provedguilty, and the people who take uponthemselves the task of separating theiwo classes—those who are found guil-ty and those who are'as yet merely un-der suspicion—are objects of the: great-

. est contempt with the army of tollers

A LUNATIC'S IMITATION.

It tacked Finish and Got Himselfana a Thief Into Trouble:

A Paris correspondent tells an inter-esting story of how a shop thief wascaptured recently at the Bon Marchen circumstances that in all probability

are Unique. One of the private detect-ives In the pay of the establishmentnoticed a man who, with the mostbarefaced effrontery, was appropriat-ing articles of every description. Thendlvldual Indeed seemed to make lit-

tle or no attempt to keep his operationssecret He simply walked from coun-ter to counter and filled his pocketswith whatever attracted his fancy, f

In spite of the strangeness of theman's. proceedings there was nothingto be done but to have him arrested,and he was given Into custody. His in-dignation was extreme. He protestedthat It -was most unjust that he shouldbe interfered wlih In this way whenother people who were behaving In ex-actly the same manner were left un-molested, and he pointed to a stoutgentleman of most respectable appear-ance who he asserted had been lay-Ing his hands on all sorts of goodswithout resorting to the formality ofpaying for them.

The policeman to whom he had beengiven in charge had been accustomedto listening to. unconvincing explana-tions and took his prisoner to the sta-tion; ~" A "fewnalnutes later theTstouTgentleman, also hi the care of a police-man, arrived at the same destination.The detective, whose curiosity hadbeen aroused, had watched the per-sonage and had found it to be true thathe was perpetrating theft after theftwith the utmost dexterity.

After a short Investigation he wasrecognized to be an expert and notori-ous shoplifter, whereas the prisonerfirst arrested proved to be a lunaticbut recently discharged from an asy-lum, whose mania took the form ofimitating any person who might hap-pen to strike him. The professionalthief was beside himself with rage atwhat he described as the bad luck ofgetting Into trouble through the vaga-ries of a madman.

offset this unpopularity, however, theyhave tlie Inducement of large financialreturns. There Is no lronbound rulegoverning the amount of mcWy whichthey receive, but the more proficient ofthe class probably make from $2,500 to53,000 a year.

At times a railroad will have an Im-portant case on Us hand, and the serv-ices of a first class spotter will be In-valuable to the company, and on suchoccasions, If successful, the financialreturns Increase wonderfully.

There Is a much greater demand for-this class of detectives In the east thanthere la here, and several reasons aregiven for this condition -of affairs. Inthe first place, traffic being heavier,there are more trains run there, andmore men are employed by the com-panies. Besides, that section is morethickly populated, and way trains arein many Instances run hourly, If notoftener, but probably the truest causefor tho Increased dishonesty amongrailway conductors In the «ast Is thelow rate of salary which they receive.

There is a well defined belief amongeastern men who travel extensivelythat any man who has reached that de-gree of prosperity where he can affordto wear creased trousers In hopelesslyextravagant If he pay more than one-third faro after crossing the Mississip-pi river. I ooee heard a popular actorgiving his reasons for this assertion Ina resort on the Atlantic coast, and,after enlightening his audience with adissertation on the almost utter worth-lessness of money in the west, so faras railroad traveling was concerned, hecontinued:

"Take any train on any road weBt ofKansas City, St. Louis, Chicago or St.Paul, and tho rest is easy. Assume anair of Indifference and smoke a cigar.If your conductor be seedy looking,have a beard, an old uniform withthreadbare elbows and a hopeless ex-pression on his face, pay your faro, Heis an honest man. A thousand dollarswouldn't tempt him, and you arc out awhole stack of dollars for getting onIlls train. Had you waited for the pextino things would have been different,there you havo a prosperous lookingfellow, who spent his last hour boforeleaving time in a barber's chair andwho, but for his uniform, would passfor a drummer or even a banker. Holooks as well fed and as vrell groomedna a king, and you nfted havo no fearHint ho will doclitjd your invitation todivldo tho coat of your rldo to yourflontlnatlon or at least to tho end of1MB division."^ • ^

Scared the Nan Who Used Them,But Vanquished the Burglar,

"Of all the outlandish weapons everemployed in a light," said a businessman of the south side, "I think. Ibrought the most fantastic on recordinto play one night last week. Myfnmily is away on a visit at- present,and I a'fai keeping bachelor hall out atthe house. On tho:nlght to which I re-fer I was aroused at about 3 a. m. by anoise somewhere in the region of thedining room, and, thinking I had shutup the "dog there, I jumped up veryfoolishly and came down stairs in mynlghtclothes without =• so much as apocketknlfe. ,

"When I opened the dining roomdoor, I was startled to Bee a big, roughlooking man bending over the side-board at Jhe far end of the room, andafter we had stood there en tableau fora moment the fallow made a rush at.me. I leaped back Into the hall andglared around for a weapon. On a ta-ble near,by were a dozen incandescentlight bulbs, which rhad brought hometo replace some that had burned out,and purely by instinct I grabbed one ofthem and threw it at -the burglar. Ithit the door casing close to his headand, to my amazement, exploded witha noise like a young lyddite shell.

"I suppose it was a 'still greater sur-prise to the other fellow, for he let outayell and broke for the rear, followedby a rapid fire bombardment of 16 can-dle power Incandescents, which I con-tinued to chuck .at him as long as heremained in range. They smashedagainst the furniture with a series ofcrashes that.alarmed the whole neigh-borhood, and I have been gathering upfragments of broken glass ever since.

"The burglar mtfst have thought Iwas chasing him with hand grenades.I t was the first time I ever knew In-candescents made such a row whenthey broke. An electrician tells me itIs caused by the air rushing Into thevacuum."-''

: m , O-Buskin's Generosity.

The late John Ruskln gave away agreat deal of money during his life.Many years his annual Income fromhis pen alone was $30,000, but be livedon less than a tenth of that amount.Indeed, he used to say that a gentle-man ought to be able to live on $5 aday. If he could not, he deservedspeedily to die.

EXCHANGED OVERCOATS.

At First by Accident and Then toBeetlfu the Error.

"Queer things have happened to mehi Chicago," said the rubber goodsman, "but perhaps the queerest of allwas the way I lost and found my over-coat last winter. It was all the faultof the check boy. Ho gave me outwhat I took to be my coat as I wasready to goto the depot.._Itfltted meall right, and so did the gloves in thepocket. It was not until I boarded thetrain that I found some letters .whichproved that I. had the wrong coat. Ihad a lower berth for Detroit. The up-per berth passenger came In after abit, and as he sat down be Raid: ' '" 'Well, I thought I would get out of

Oh'lcago this time without anythinghappening, but I'm disappointed.Through some hocus pocus or otherI've lost my; overcoat—that Is, I'vemade an exchange with some one.'

11 'Just my case,' I replied." 'Where did you stop?'" 'At the Auditorium/ ."'So did I.'"Well, he bad, my coat, and I had

his," continued the rubber goods man,"and It took only a minute to effectthe exchange. We were both boundfor Detroit, both Intended to put up atthe same hotel and both had businesswith the same firm. I t was a queerthing,j^enjaiyujound, Jrat t as I saidat the beginning, there is no place likeChicago for surprises. A year ago Iwas hurrying along State street withthe crowd when I ran plump Into aman whom I had left for dead In Mex-ico three years before, and the firstwords he spoke was to tell me he washard up and dun me for $5 I owedhim!"- ~ .

This company, having acquired a valuable plot of ground, centrally located in Long Branch, N. J., and having railroad siding,will erect, thereon an ice making and refrigerating plant of the most modern type, with a capacity for making 60 tons of hygienicice per day.

The ice, being made from double distilled water, will be perfectly pure and clean, and will not vary in quality at any time.This company proposes to confine its business to trje supplying of wholesale and large consumers, and intends to ask for its pro-

duct an equitable price that will not vary with the season of the year. ' . • ' • .It will use, for storing in refrigerating rooms, 5,000 tons of ice, and having for refrigerating 75,000 cubic fee,t of space, this space

being divided into suitable and properly ventilated apartments for the cold storage of butter, eggs, fish, anc other perishable goods.From the inquiries and demands already made the officials of the company can state that the entire daily output of ice is sold,

and that the cold storage room provided will not be sufficient to meet the demand.This insures that the company'will earn its dividends and accumulate a large surplus during the first season.

TO FREEHOLD BY TROLLEY.

A It out e Being Considered FromEatontotcn to Freehold.

A meeting of the Freehold board oftrade was held last week to consider aproposition from E, P. Dobbins of LongBranch for the cooperation of the boardin Becuring the right of way for a trolleyfrom Freehold to Eatontown, connect-ing with the present trolley rond atEatontown for Red Bank and LongBranch. The proposition • was madethrough ex-Sheriff Houston Fields, whostated that if the right of way could besecured for a reasonable sum the roadwould be built without delay,

The board of trade agreed to hold aconference with Mr. Dobbins. It isgenerally considered that tlio recentaotion of the Freehold commissioners inpassing nn ordinance requiring all eloo-trio wires to be put underground hadfor its object tlio.knocking out of anyproposed trolley route in Freehold ; butty was stated at tho board of trndo meet-ing that the commiesionors would co-Operato with the board in securing thoproposed trolley lino.

A SQUATTER SCHOONER.

' Leaping seas lifted the schooner Ra-ven high on the beach one night whena spring gale churned Lake Michigan.The Raven •was owned, navigated andnow, In the flower of her sailing days,beached by Captain Ebenezer Rowell.Cape Cod was the place of the cap-tain's nativity, and he had sailed allsorts and conditions of waters, fromthe Erie canal to the Arctic ocean.

He asserted, however, with a flow ofexplosive language that was certainlyno part of his Puritan Inheritance, thatbe never ran into quite so much "dirt",anywhere else as when there was anorther screaming down this long lake,breaking the water Into foam fromSkllllgalee to Grosse point. Now theIndignant lake repaid his tarry epithetsby flinging him farther, up on the tendthan any boat ever went before.

Captain Bowel] had characteristicsthat marked him as a man apart Hislong mustache drooped jand mingledwith a short beard welljhot with gray,and when he wore his dingy sou'westerhe looked very like a middle aged wal-rus. The captain had a wooden leg,bound at the bottom with triple bandsof brass. One of Parragut's surgeonstook charge of the leg of flesh for whichthis wooden substitute did duty afterthe battle of Mobile Bay.J The skipper of the Raven also had apipe that was not without celebrity. It,was burned to ebony blackness, and,,upon the word of reliable mariners,|waa declared to emit such penetratingfumes that the Baven could not clearfrom a Wisconsin port without thefact Immediately becoming known laMichigan, if the wind were right

, But now the Raven, her commander,wooden leg, pipe and all, were cast upon_thejbeach. Captain Rowell had been

"TiTttoi5i^prt"Ma'''h'aa'r'mfiiea°'the harbor entrance—a narrow passagebetween two piers, as easy to sail IntoIn a storm as the neck of a bottle. Ashis boat went flying In through thebreakers the captain raged and beat atattoo on the deck with his wooden leg,having no gratitude In his heart forthe wind aud wuves that were laudinghim on soft sand Instead of bangingthe Raven ^gainst the rocks that wereequally handy. The schooner settledeasily on the beach, with the skipperclinging to the taffrall and the twoScandinavians who constituted the^crew gripping at the shrouds.

Morning showed tire seriousness ofthe case. The Raven lay at the inner-most point of a cozy bight, with acouple of hundred yards of sand be-tween her and the bluffs that rimmedthe bay. A little way to the north along breakwater was thrust Into thelake, the visible evidence of harborwork In which government engineerswere' engaged. One effect of the build-ing of this breakwater had been to ar-rest certain lake currents and makethem deposit.threat quantities of sandalong that part of the shore on whichthe Raven stranded. In consequence,

' new land waa forming rapidly at thatpoint, and the people of the town werebeginning to speculate as to the use towhich It should be put.

It was a singularly effectual rush ofthe water that carried the schooner tothis resting place, and Captain Rowellknew very well that to get her backinto the water would be expensive nnddifficult lie was the more disgustedwith fate because he had been castaway on tlie sliore of bis home port,where neighbors would want to knowthe why and wherefore of this extraor-dinary navigation.

One of those who came next day tolook at tho. schooner, so far removedfrom her ordinary element, was a law-yer acquaintance of the captain. Inspeaking about tho changes that woregoing on in that part of tho coast, hereferred to tlio rapidity with which theland was encroaching on tho lakethere and gave It as his opinion thatthorn wns doubt nbout the right ofowners of property on tho bluffs—be-tween which aud tho lako a railroadright of way intervened—to claim thoaccretion.

"In fact," nalil Lawyer Flanders, "Ibelieve that this IH government land,nnd anybody who Bqunts on it willhavo a fighting chnnco, at least, to es-tablish title to the whole strip." Whore-upon Cnptnln lObcnczer Itowcll prickedup hlir Yankee cars and adroitly crossquestioned the lawyer until ho bud afair notion of llio legal conditions af-fecting this stretch of wood tuftod

tana, "poflovely To Took ~upon,""butdestined to be very valuable. Ho an-nounced tbat night tbat be Intended todefer preparations for floating / theRaven.

Tlie next day lie brought Maria, biswife, down from their cottage and,having got the Haven properly bracedon ao even keel, Installed Mrs. RowellIn the cabin. "We'll live here awhile,Marlar," said the captain.. And Maria,who had sailed under Ebenezer's or-ders for 40 years, thought this no timeto ask questions,' but began to setthings in order. The schooner BaveDhad squatted on unclaimed land.

Now, ,ln the course of time the dwell-ers on the bluff, Inhabitants of stonehouses set In terraced lawns, lookeddown on this marine squatter and weredispleased. They paid little attentionat first, but the steady Issue of smokefrom the Raven's cabin stove and theaccumulation of Maria's flowerpotssavored of permanent occupation. Au-tumn came, then winter, and the Ra-ven was still on the sands.

The next spring, a year after theschooner went on the beach,' certainrich men took steps to formally asserttitle to the natural Increase of land,on a portion of which the Raven lay.Then came lawyers, writs and consta-bles, whom Maria turned over to Eben-ezer, and with whom Ebenezer dealtthrough the medium of his friend,Lawyer Flanders.

In the first court to which the menwho owned the land on the bluff tookthe matter, < Ebenezer won. Title wasnot proved,' and the skipper of the Ra-ven, so far as this tribunal was con-cerned, was confirmed In his right asa claimant of government land. Anappeal failed to reverse the judgment,and, .although the rich men declaredtheir fixed purpose to carry the Caseto the highest court in the land, Eben-ezer considered the victory won. ;

Thereupon, Under the advice of thefarseelng Flanders, he began the mostwonderful Improvements on his landthat ever were seen on that coast'or,perhaps, any other. To! repay somesmall annoyances that he had beensubjected to, he caused to be erected

staring sign, where every dweller.onthe heights might read: "Captain Row-ell's Shipyard."

I found the captain there one even-Ing walking about his queer domain,pipe alight and puffing like a tug. Halfa dozen cottages of remarkable archi-tecture had sprung up about the Ra-ven.

"Snug anchorage," said the captain,with a comprehensive wave of his pipeIn the direction of these new posses-sions, "Marlar an I are landlubbersnow. Xes, we've squatted on guv.'mentland an cal'late to live here. Mr.Bingham, up on the hill yonder, ansome o' the other shore folks got afterme In the courts, but I beat them. Tried

tin up shanties withfn"the"1afe"l![mfts"an sent a lubber down here one day topull my houses down. You see, everyhouso In this here shipyard Is a boat,built boat shaped an registered at thecustom house."

The captain had, in truth, built as hesaid. The architecture did not appealto one's sense of beauty, whether thestructures were considered as housesor boats, but any one of them, properlybottomed, might be set afloat and madeto serve as a scow or a tow barge. "Byway of tenants the captain had a fewof bis sailor friends, a fisherman and alaborer who liked the situation becauseIt was near the rallroacfyards wherehe worked. The shipyard was payingespouses.

"Yes," Captain Rowell went on, "theRaven has done pretty well for me.'Bout the best cruise I ever made wasthe one that ended with this herewreck. It's made me. a rich man. ButI WBB tellln you 'bout that attack on myfleet, They sent the fire marshal, anhe says, says he, 'Them shanties Is inthe fire limits, an I'm ordered to pullthem down.' Then I gets out on the f or-rad dock o' the Raven, an I says, saysI, quite like as though I was whooplnIn a blow outside the point: 'Ship ahoy,there! Every one o' them shanties Is aboat au registered In the YewultedStates custom house. Any man thattears down one o' my boats is a pirate,an Uncle Sain 'ud rather hang a piratethan eat pie.'.

"That fire marshal looked at my ship-yard carefulllke then au kinder open-ed his eyes. He went round behindone o' those craft, an when he Bced hername an port p' hull painted there,plain as on any steamboat in tho har-bor, that settled him. He went backto the lawyers, an they've been flgger-In ever since ou how to make this herefleet put to sea. I'll keep 'em flggerln,"added Ebonezei1 confidently, "until mytitle to all this new land's as solid asSpectacle reef." K

Conceive a double row of buildingswhich upon front view appeared to becacnlbonts, gabled windowed and c l pboarded, with a little picketed Inelo-sure behind each oue, and you havo theshipyard In mind. At the end of theBtreot, nearest the water, lay tho Ra-ven, (llamiintled with respect to rig-ging, propped with timbers and keptImmneulatoly painted and scrubbed,as a flagship should be. Thus tlio fleetlay, n squadron to bo depended on Inany kind of weather,

To the Blilpyard camo ulghtacorBumnll boyn and oven tho SalvationArmy. Iflbenezor Rowell was a friendof religion, although bin language uttlnipfl might glvo rlso to a contraryODlnlon, nnd bo welcomed tho flnlvn-

tlonTsoldlers" tonthe"-beacb."He"evenperformed on an accordion one nlgbtIn honor of the open air gospel meetingand, was assured that the Army bandcould do no better.

The excellent Impression thus madewas almost effaced Dy the captain'sconduct qn another occasion. Six menIn tall hats came down to the beachone nlgfiv followed by a lot of lakefront loungers, and began to sing gos-pel byrnns. The captain was gratified.He never quite approved of the Salva-tion Army costume, and here, It seem-ed, was a delegation of soberly chidministers come to preach without anysound of brass and tiniillng cymbals.

One of the clerical looking men be-gan'to address the crowd. In the be-ginning, bis harangue was not unlikethat of the average street preacher, buthe imparted gradually and In small In-stallments the Information that thiswas a missionary party from Utah sentout to teach the doctrines of the Churchof Latter Day Saints.

"Mormons 1" snorted Ebenezer, andinto the crowd he stumped with a per-emptory order for the meeting to dis-perse and the missionaries to climb thehill. Expostulation only moved thecaptain to boiling wrath, and he vol-leyed and thundered such dreadful lan-guage that the six tall hats moved off,leaving Ebenezer In possession of thefield, but with a shattered reputationfor niety.

When small boys offended on bispremises, the captain would roar: "Hi,there; g<j ashore, you little powdermonkeys! I'll take you all out to sea anmaroon you!" This would be followedby wild scampering across the sands,for the boys Were divided In opinion asto whether marooning meant boiling Inoil or hanging- at the yardarm.

For six years Ebenezer and Marialived In the shipyard, drew rent andpaid lawyers.'{The lake currents keptadding to their sandy domain, and asthe beach widened displeasure grew inthe fine houses on the hill. The ex-panding acres to which the skipper ofthe Raven laid claim gave rise to vi-sions suggested by possible uses towhich the land might be put when themariner saw fit to sell; If bis title everarrived at a state of perfection thatwarranted anybody to. buy.

The shipyard was bad enough, but afactory, a thing of smoke and smelland chimneys, would Be worse. So thebill folk managed to keep a lawsuitimminent above the captain's bead thathe might not become too well estab-lished in his belief that he was lord ofthe shore.

In the extreme of their disgust aidcame to the enemies of the captainfrom an unexpected source. The townupon whose hospitable front the Ravenhad become, a squatter decided to es-tablish a system of parks. .

It was agreed with entire unanimitythat all the water / frontage possible

g p pproposition that directed instant atten-tion to Captain Ebenezer Rowell's con-tested territory. All the machinery oflawyers, courts, writs and bailiffs wasonce more set in motion, and Ebenezerand/ Maria had to form a new line ofbattle.

Indeed they had come upon evil days,for the discerning lawyer who hadbeen their chief defense In the earlieryears of their occupation was dead,and they had to Intrust the fortunesof the shipyard to1 strangers.. The ag-gressive city hustled Ebenezer fromone court to another, summoned him,examined him, made him depose, af-firm, deny, give bond and generallyfeel the pangs of litigation until he de-clared himself "worried outen his vit-tles."

He smoked three times his normalallowance of tobacco and told Mariathat he was sorely tempted to put tosea again. A1 little later he gave proofthat this was an Idea that had somegrip on him, for he set men to workcalking the Raven's gaping seams andgetting the schooner into somethinglike sailing shape again.

One evening Captain Rowell return-ed and found the shipyard in a tumultA case had just gone against him Inono of the courts, the Judge having de-clared that title to the land was vestedIn the city, and the municipal officerslost no time in following up this vic-tory. Policemen descended, and thesheriff came, and with them sundrystout>fellows having In charge teams,timbers, crowbars and other tools suffi-cient to make Maria tremble.

She bewailed the absence of Ebcn-czer, but came part down the stepsthat led up the Raven'B side and gavean Imitation of th'o cnptnln In a badtemper. The sheriff said such languagewas shocking, b»t she refused to llBtento the writ. Bef oro Ebenezer nppearedto defend the premises from Invasionono of tho, structurea^that tho sailorcalled a boat when he talked to a constable and a house when he conversedwith a tenant had been hoisted fromIts anchorage and placed on skids.

One without occupants bad been ae-locted by way of a beginning, and theBird of Freedom, as letters done In thohighest stylo of tho sign painter's artannounced1 the clumsy affair, was wallon hor way toward the Btreot at thofoot of tho bluff when Ebenezor camosnorting upon 'tho scene. Ho did notstop to parloy With tho sheriff, butdlvod Into tho cjibln of tho Raven andpresently omerged on deck with a r,lfloIn hla hands. '

It was a weapon that had boon pur-chaucd In tho early staged of tho fightfor possession of tho lako front; but by

a singular overslghfEbeneaer naa neg-lected to provide himself with ammu-nition. However, nobody stops to In-quire with any particularity Into thecondition of a gun.when that gun Is IDthe.bands of a man whose hostility Isundoubted, and the whole attackingforce stampeded at the sight of the•Winchester. , '

Nearly all night the captain keptwatch, rifle In band, but when Mariaquestioned the efficiency of a gun thatwanted cartridges he concluded to goto bed and risk the further kidnapingof his scows. .

It was shortly after this Incursionthat I saw the captain again. Theshipyard showed almost as many signsof disorder as though It'were really aplace where boats were built TheBird of Freedom, the Albatross (allthe captain's scowhonses were giventhe names of birds) and the rest wereeither In ruins or In process of beingplucked. The Raven showed unmis-takable signs of an Impending voyage.

She had been shored' up, painted andrid of all the accumulation of steps,platforms and flowerpots that made,,her' look like something that belongedneither on land nor sea. The captainwas rather melancholy, but energeticin respect to Bhlp chandlery and re-pairs.

"Yes," he said, "I'm goto sallln oncemore; compromised with the city."This he said as cheerfully, as a manmight announce the date of his ownhanging. "Compromised," he went on;"that's what they call it. I gives thecity the land, an the city givea me thovally o' these here craft No, I ain'tas rich as I used to think I was whenI stuck on a hundred thousand everytime a storm heaved up a fresh lot o'sand, which happeried pretty reg'Iar.

"Fact Is, If the guv'ment keeps ex-tendln that pier Into the lake an up-Gettin the cal'latlons o' nature In p'ihtof currents, sand'll keep piljn up untilthis lake's plum cut In two. I'm sicko' Jhls bllln, roisterln, bangln bqdy o'water. I'm goln to sail the Raven downthe lakes to the S t Lawrence, take herout to sea an go back,_to. Cape Cod,-where Marlar an I cal'late to spendthe rest o' our days."

It was a laborious undertaking to getthe Raven Into tho water again. Shehad lain on shore so long tbat she hadto be. In a large measure, rebuilt beforeshe was fit to sail, but finally the cap-tain pronounced her as good as newand fine enough to exhibit to thosekeen critics, of things nautical, the in-habitants of Cape Cod. :

So I went down one night to see himand Maria set out on their long voyage.There was a flattening of noses againstthe window panes In the houses on thehill, whose satisfied owners saw thetrim lines «f the schooner slant acrossthe darkening waters. The captain wasat the wheel, and as he sailed awayInto the gloom I could get glimpses ofntrchSerfiil TJlper glowlng41ker;a'blnna'r

cle lamp and pointing as .nearly asmight be in the direction of Cape Cod.

INDEXING THE LAWS.

Memorialing Devices in the Govern*ment Bureau,

In view of the iiiHnebse mass of leg-islation which congress enacts fromyear to year, much of It simply In theform of half bidden clauses attachedto appropriation bills, Btrangers oftenwonder how any one can keep trackof the details and make sure that someof the minor laws are executed. Whena bill is la .the last stages precedingcompletion, one member after anotherthinks of something he . wishes tothrow Into it before the final vote Istaken. It Is perhaps a proviso that thesecretary of the treasury shall do this,'or teat the secretary of the interiorshall do that Up springs anothermember, who wishes to make sure thatthe duty shall not be neglected andwho therefore adds an -amendmentthat the secretary shall report to con-gress at each session so and so. And ,thuB it goes into the permanent, lawof the land, adding one more to themultitude of tasks already assignedto the cabinet officer In question, ln>suring the compilation of one morepublic document which few personsoutside will ever redd and at which notone congressman In 50 will ever glance.t But the work will be done and thereport made, as ordered by congress,for there Is no one to utter a protestIt is not the business of the head of adepartment to ask tbe-reason why. Itis enough for him that the lawmaklngpower has Issued Its command and fur-nished him with the men and the mon-ey required to do the work. The clerkswho toll painfully through the processof collecting the data and preparingthe report do not bother their brainswith' the conundrum, Who is going toread It when it is finished and in print?They are there simply to obey ordersand draw their salaries. But how doesany one keep track of the odds andends of laws tucked away in budgetbills and the like? When the accumu-lation of statistics for a whole sessionis bound up In a fat book In the chron-ological order of their approval by thepresident how Is any one to dig outthe details that the secretary of thetreasury and. tbe secretary of the in-terior must know?

This Is the work of digest clerks andindeiers, who take, each enactment

' and cut it Into blta One bit In tbe leg-. lslatlve appropriation act, another inthe sundry civil act, a third in an ur-gent deficiency act, a fourth in a gen-eral deficiency act and a fifth perhapsIn a special statute, all relate to oneBubjeet and belong together. Eachsubject has Its proper place under oneof the broad heads, legislative, executlve or judicial, and again under oneof the subcategorles as pertaining tothe senate or the department of the in-terlor or the circuit court of appeals or

fragments of legislation for a session• are shifted about and regrouped ao-• cording to topics and the topics arrang<

ed In their normal order, we have avery simple but effective digest for ref-erence on any subject touched by congress.

With a pretty exhaustive Index add-ed we can do either of two things-consult the Index .for the specific titleof a certain subject or search tbe bodyof the book for the subject itself. In Itsplace In a certain Invariable order oftopical sequence. For example, If we•wish to ascertain how much It has costto light the New York postofflce build-ing tor a certain year, we may eitherlook In the index under "New York'or we may torn In the digest Itself tothe executive branch of the government, there find the appropriations forthe treasury and In the group of publicbuildings under treasury jurisdictionfollow the paragraphs down till wecome to the particular building In"which we are Interested.

So much for the convenience of theofficers charged by law with such andsuch duties, With tbe orderly distri-bution of functions between the sev-eral bureaus and divisions of each de-partment there i s no difficulty In eachfunctionary's.learning from the dlgcsJuBt what he Is to do and usually howtie Is to do It ,' But what shall keep congress remind-ed of the reports and recommendation-which it has ordered all these personto prepare? Here cornea another meniorlzlng device. A standing rule of thhouse of representatives requires theclerk of that body to submit at tbe be-ginning of every session a list of thereports wblcb any of the laws say shallbo made to congrcsB during that seaslon. Ho incloses the list In a formalletter of transnilttal to the speaker,and letter and list are printed togetheras a document. Each page Is ruled Infcur columns, the first containing thtitle of the officer and tlio nature of threport required of him, the second areference to tl o volume of laws author-izing tho report, the third a citation olsection or pngojinil tho fourth tho dotct -which tlio report Is expected or thperiod within which It may be present-ed or tho frequency with which It IB al-

, -ways necessary to have a certain classof reports ready.- "

A BEAR FOR A ROOMMATE,

Funny Story About a ituealanBeast, Which Slept in a Bed,

Livonia is a part of our globe wherebndness for pets coexists with love,f sport A Russian subject from that•rovince tells me of the strange cori-ilderatlon evinced" by one of her neigh-)ors for the feelings of a bear. Themiirial had an odd fancy for sleepingndoors and in a bed. To humor him,

room lp a tower was always leftipen for the animal. Some nights be:ame and availed himself of the hps-iltallty, but often be staid out in theoods; If he arrived at his tower and

mounted the long flight of steps whichled from outside to his own door andfound that anything prevented his en-trance, the bear made a horrible noise,growling and battering the-woodwork,n Livonia, during the brief northernummer, the local magnates visit each>ther without prior arrangement, andhey arrive prepared to stop the night.It not infrequently occurs that manycarriages converge at the same, time onme. country house, with the result thatas many .as 40 beds may be required.A'large Influx of yl8ltors__arrlved onenight ditne house "where" the bear hadils room. The last comer was a timid

youth,. a.??"sln of the house. The hostmet him! radlantf

"What a pleasure, Ivan! You'll findhalf the relations here. But, alas,you'll not have a good room. Everyother corner Is full. There's only the:ower left As you know, the bearcomes there. But never mind! He doesnot put in an appearance every night"The young man would fain have gonefarther, but the nearest country housewas ten miles off, his horse tired, andthe hospitable relations very pressingIn their invitation to him to remain.He was greatly afraid of the hear, bntstill more afraid of offending host,hostess and all the other cousins andneighbors. He decided to stay, and atlast retired to rest In a large, squareroom, with two beds in it He Inquir-ed If he might not bar out tbe bear (thedoor bad but a latch), but he was.toldthat no fastenings might be used; thebear was too noisy if shut out He"would not let a soul In the place havea wink of sleep." Besides, "be wasn'tcoming very likely." And, further,"there wasn't any means of altogetherfastening the door." "It was left onhe latch on purpose." The last words

of a rather sleepy cousin to the new-comer were, "Better take the bed Inthe far corner, Ivan!"

The guest can hardly be said to haveslept there. Tbe terror of bruin kepthim awake at first and then bruin him-self, for In the small hours a shamblingstep and a sound of claws on tbe stepsand balustrade froze the blood in theunhappy youth's veinB. The noise camenearer. There was a fumbling at thelatch. With great growling and grum-bHng,"bruln"entered-'and*ptit" himselfto bed In the couch near the door.There the beast grumbled, gruntedand seemed to sniff. That sniffingalarmed the other occupant of tbe roommost of all, for he thought It meantthat the bear scented him and mightresent his presence. The wretch daredscarcely breathe. Dawn was breaking,but that was only another danger. Thebear might see him. Bruin, a greatcurled lump above the blankets, be-came in due time visible to his fellowlodger. Then the bear snored! Therewas comfort In that sound. But soonbe rolled about and growled and groaned discontentedly. The heart of thewatcher beat painfully loud. He darednot rise. He had not nerve enough topass the sleeping animal and rushflown the steps. Terror paralyzed theyouth,/ and prudence whispered thaiinactivity can be sometimes masterly.

The slow hours dragged on. All thcompany had assembled down stairsat breakfast, but bruin still slept andtbe timid cousin watched him witheyes that turned and throbbed. A'last the host said: "Where's Ivan?Where's the> bear too?' And a mes-senger was dispatched to the tower,there to find a pallid guest and his un-invited companion. Tbe messengeirouted out the bear, who had been kepas a pet when a cub and who wasreally only half a wild beast and help-ed the nerve shattered youth to dressand join the breakfast party.' "

STRIKING A MATCH.

Little Thing* May at Times Decidea Man's Fortune.

The truth of the saying that little"things may oftentimes play an Impor-tant part to men's affairs when them(ln least expect it was illustrated oneday recently.

"See that young man over there," re-marked an insurance friend of-his,pointing to one of his clerks working.way industriously at a desk in anoth-er room. "Well, be got his place In my(fflce through the striking of a match,.lthough he doesn't know it. ,

I was standing at the entrance ofthis building about a month ago wait-ing for a friend tp. come down the ele-pator, when that young man approach-id me with a letter of recommendation

and an application for employment. Ihad made it known a few days beforethat I needed another clerk, and hehad heard of it. However, I had al-most made up my mind to take on ayoung man who had been to see methe day before and was about to tellthe last applicant so, when he pulled amatch from one of his pockets to lighta cigar he had been smoking, butwhich had gone out.

'"Sorry, sir,' he said, balancing him-lelf on one foot, while he lifted, the

other so as to admit of his striking thematch on the heel of his shoe. 'Sorry,for I would like very much to work foryou, and I think I would have madeyou a good clerk.' .

'The match striking incident mademe think so too. Right at the youngman's elbow was a great Italian mar-ble column upon which were the marksshowing where many matches had beenstruck by vandals too utterly indiffer-ent to the rights of others to refrainfrom Indelibly stamping their vandal-ism upon property to restore whichwould have cost hundreds of dollars.t would haye been the most natural

thing in the world for many a man tohave scratched that match on the mar-ble column, and the fact that thisyoung man chose to use the heel of hisshoe Instead showed that he wasthoughtful and conscientious, two veryexcellent traits. I was so impressedthat I told him to come and see me,and the result of the visit was his se-curing tbe position. And his month inmy office has shown that I made nomistake in sizing him up."' ""'
