Story of Borrower.
"I have $10,000 worth of real estate , "
said a borrower to the shark behind the
desk of a mortgage loan office , "on
which I should 111cc to borrow $3.50 to
pay servant hire that is due to-day ,
Can you accommodate me with the
amount ? "
The shark drummed listlessly with
the tips of his fingers on the desk and
said nothing. Presently the borrower ,
j clearing his throat , repeated a little
louder : "I have $10,000 worth of real
estate on which I should like to borrow
$3.50 to pay servant hire that is due today -
day- Can you accommodate me with
the amount ? "
Still the shark looked dreamily
through the visitor and at the people
passing along the street , continued the
tattoo with his finger ends and replied
not a word.
Turning to the office boy the borrower -
rower asked : "What is the matter with
your employer ? Does he mean to refuse -
fuse the the money ? "
"You have not paid the $2 membership -
, ship fee to this loan association , " replied -
plied the boy.
The borrower put down $2 and ref -
f
1 newel his request. Then the shark
' registered the victim's name and address -
dress In a journal and said suavely :
"Three dollars bookage , please. "
"Booltage ? What bookage ? "
t "None of your business ; $3 quick. "
i
1 The borrower paid it without a mur-
mur.
t
j "To inspect your property and titles
will cost you $2 additional , " continued
the shark , with a stern smile.
The $2 was handed over. "Now do
I get the loan of $3.50 ? " pleaded the bor-
rower.
i "Come in one year from to-day and
our report will be ready. "
"But the bill is due to-day , man. "
"Let it wait. "
"It won't wait ; the servant will leave
tc-morrow if she is not paid. "
"Oh , she'll wait ; just show her thus
certificate of application to us and a--
plain to her that you have to wait"
The harrower left the office with
many misgivings. He returned in one
year by the almanac and the clock.
"I am very sorry , " said the shark ,
1 "but we cannot let you have anything
1 on those chattels or lands of yours. "
The victim dropped his head sadly on
his breast and started to the door. The
broker called him back.
How did it end ? The shark charged
the borrower $1.25 storage on the pal -
l ' pers in the case.
It Is Blessed to Be Meek.
i
To be meek is to be strong at all
points. Well armed and equipped
throughout. To live in an impregnable -
ble castle in which are living springs ,
and secret outlets which cannot be discovered -
covered by the enemy. To be meek in
I spirit , is to be like Christ , and to have
a hold on God that the world , the flesh
and the devil cannot break. To be meek
In spirit is not ony to inherit the earth ,
1 but to own real estate in heaven. To inherit -
herit means to have by lawful right By
undisputable tite. To possess by the
strongest of all claims. "To inherit the
earth. " All of it that they want ; all
they can enjoy. To pcssess in the truest
and most complete 'sense. True wealth
' \
_
Is that which we enjoy ; that which becomes -
comes a part of our life , by enlarging
our capabilities ; lifting us to higher
planes ; extending our vision ; giving us
wings ; adding length to our arms , and
helping 'us to become larger , better and
wiser , and whatever does nct do this
cannot enrich us. On the other hand , it
makes us poorer , by enslaving us with
cares on its own account. Blessed are
the meek , for they can have rest where
others would be weary ; they can be
contented where others would have
nothing but fret and worry. They can
be rich without money ; strong without
strength , and the real owners of everything -
thing In sight , without having to keep
up repairs and pay taxes. Blessed are
the meek.
Iler Iltppy hour.
A touching instance , which reveals
the only source of real happiness in life ,
was once related by a well-known evangelist -
gelist as folows :
A gentleman who had been educated
among fashionable people and had become -
come a minister , was recently at dinner
where he met one of his former acquaintances -
quaintances , a latly whom he had not
seen in years. She spoke to him jestingly -
ingly of his having become a minister
of the gospel , and said : "I should
think you would find it exceedingly
stupid ; I do not see how you can bear
to lead such a life. " 1-le turned to her
and saki : "I should think you would
be the one who would find life stupid ,
and I should think you would find your
existence almost intolerable. " He said
that even at the table her face flushed ,
and he saw tears gathering in her eyes.
For some time she did not make any
reply. A little later , however , she
sought him in another room and said :
"You were right in what you thought
about my life ; it is almost intolerable ,
and would be wholly so except for the
visits that I pay the Children's IIos-
pital once a week. I dress myself in
my brightest gown and take some of
my most valuable jewels , and without
telling anyone where I am going , I
drive to the Children's Hospital and
there try to amuse the suffering little
ones for an hour. This , " she said , "is
the one thing that makes my life worth
living. "
It is a sure balm for the healing of
all unrest and discontent , that one
should give himself to the alleviation
of the woes of others.
By the Moot Positive Knotvledre.
As surely and as truly as Naaman
knew God by the cleansing of his leprosy -
rosy , may a man know God today by
what takes place in himself. As posi-
tivelr as the Syrian knew that his flesh
had been changed by supernatural
means , may a man know that his heart
has been changed by the same power.
In an instant he finds that all bitterness -
ness has been destroyed ; that he hates
no one , not even his bitterest enemy.
Ile knows that he now loves everybody
and has nothing but good will in his
heart for all men. Things like this are
not imaginary , but are as real as anything -
thing in human experience. Neither are
they exceptional , but have been attested -
tested by millions. And no matter
where the conversation takes place , the
result is the same , whether in refined
society , or in the heart of Africa. Enmity -
mity is slain and love is born , and gratitude -
itude to God springs up in the heart.
because the burden of sin that was like
a crushing weight , is gone. Therefore ,
every man who knows God , knows him
because he knows that a work has been
wrought in his heart that only God
could work. Knowledge of God is the
most positive and convincing kiowl-
edge known to human life.
The Boy DIIII Know It
A certain minister in Louisville is
the father of a very bright youngster
who has the bicycle fever. The minister -
1
ter had occasion tc leave the city a few
days ago on a short trip , and the first
night after his departure the little fellow -
low was saying his prayers as usual
and wound up without making any
reference to his father. His mother
softly stroked his curly head and
asked : "You are not through , are you ? "
"Why , yes , " answered the youngster ;
"what else must I pray for ? " "For your
papa's safety , " replied the mother.
The youngster sprang from his knees
in surprise and cried : "Why , mamma ,
I didn't know papa had a safety ! "
Comin : Home.
One may be very happy while away
from home , but he is very glad to return -
turn to it. The plainest old familiar
dish is better than the daintiest epicurean -
curean bill of fare abroad. One's own
little room , with its handy , compact
belongings , is preferable to all the marble -
ble halls , swept through by silk-clad
dames. "Home ! " One is more than ever
impressed by the significance of that
word , when , even in the roughest little
hamlet and most desolate-looking hut ,
it may mean so much to those who
were born ) n 1t.
A Clever Cat.
William Gilen of New London , Conn. ,
threw some lobster meat to his cat.
Cats are very found of this delicacy , so
what was William's surprise on seeing
Grimalkin lug the meat around the
corner. Following her , he found that
she had placed it carefully in front of a
large rat hole as a bait. Then she lay
in wait behind a barrel until an unwary -
wary rat came out and snapped the
bait , when pussy pounced on him and
broke his back with a single shake.
Taming a Rat.
A trapped rat may easily be tamed
by allowing no water but that ofered in
a spoon , for the creature soon learns to
recognize the hand which supplies this
all-important necessary.
The sincerity is of course everything ;
without sincerity they became mere
flatteries , or conventional , meaningless -
less commonplaces.
F
A'Generons Child.
A few days ago I ran in to see a
woman friend of mine-one of those
dear'conventional cvotnen who take life
seriously , and wouldn't do an unusual
thing' ' for half your kingdom. While
we tverc talking my friend's little
daughter came into the room. She
sidled shyly up to her mother.
"Mamma , " she said , "may I go down
to Ramie's just a minute ? '
The day was cloudy and the mother
demurred. 'llle little girl insisted.
"I have to go , mamma , " she said.
"Why , dear ? " asked her mother.
The little girl hesitated a moment
and then , to her ultra-particular moth-
er's dismay she cheerfully explained :
"Why , " she said , "I lent Mamie my
chewing gum last night , and I want it
myself now.-Washington Post.
.1 Grlut Jest.
Youth's companion : Deathbed jokes
are generally not authentic. The celebrated -
ebrated one attributed to Toni hood ,
for instance-that he protested against
blaming the undertaker who had
blundered into coming before the
great wit was dead , and said that the
man had "only come to urn a lively
Hood"-is known to le decidedly
apocryphal.
Nevertheless , a remark somewhat of
the same sort , which is attributed to
Lord Chesterfield in his last illness , is
undoubtedly authentic. Chesterfield
was very-ill , and his death was only a
matter of a few weeks ; but his physician -
cian advised that lie be taken for an
easy drive in his carriage , and he went
out.
out.As
As the equipage was proceeding
slowly along it was met by a lady who
remarked pleasantly to the great invalid -
valid :
" :1h , my lord , I am glad to see you
able to drive out. "
"I am not driving out , madam. ' ' answered -
swered Chesterfield ; "I am simply rehearsing -
hearsing my funeral ! "
The Atlantic Monthly for November

last of the series appears in this issue.
Lafeadio Ilearn's contribution hears
the suggestive title After the \Var , and

"Never operate if you can help it , "

"Operate with confidence as son as

The other doctors are wrangling to
this moment over this issue.
The man whom one takes to be a
country- doctor , wearing a sack coat and
a white necktie , awkward in gesture ,
not glib of speech , and diffident of manner -
ner , is often found to be one of the
"star" city specialists , who is listened
to with the most respectful attention.
Deafness Can Not 1e Curets
By local applications , as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness ,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition -
dition of the mu ous lining of the Eustachian -
tachian Tube. When the tube is inflamed -
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing , and when it is entirely -
tirely closed Deafness Is the result , and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube nestored to its normal
condition , hearing will be destroyed forever -
ever : nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh , which is nothing but an inflamed -
flamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Dearness ( caused by Catarrh -
tarrh ) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars , free.

When Nearing an Iceberg.
The captain of an ocean steamer in
most cases finds out when his ship is
nearing an iceberg front the men in the
engine room. When a steamship enters
water considerably colder than that
through which it has been going its
propeller tuns faster. Such water surrounds -
rounds the vicinage of bergs for many
miles 1Vlen the propeller's action ,
therefore , is accelerated greatly without -
out the steam power bcinu increased ,
word is sent up to the officer on the
bridge that icebergs may be expected ,
and a close lookout is established.

The resources of a properly trained
Biddy are practically inexhaustible. A
short time ago I bought some very expensive -
pensive hothouse grapes for a member
of the family who had been sick , but
they were not fancied at the time , and
I asked the maid to take them away.
The next morning I went to her and
told her to take the fruit to the sick
room.
"Sure , ma'am , Oi can't. 'Tis meself
thought ye wanted them throw'd
away ! " with the peculiar stupid look an
Irish girl puts on and takes off with
ease.
"Thrown away , Bridget ! " I exclaimed -
ed angrily. , "flow could you be so
stupid ? Don t you know that kind of
grapes are awfully expensive ? "
"Don't be put out , ma'am , " Bridget' '
said . ' 'Sure not
soothingly. , one was
wasted. Oi ate ivery good grape me-

Fighting Tobacco Ueers.
By prompt and decisive action the
management of railroads have run out
of their employ all men who prefer getting -
ting drunk to holding steady situations -
tions , or who think- they must drink
liquor. Now the superintendent of the
Boston eC Maine railroad has commenced -
menced war against tobacco consumers -
ers , and has issued a circular to his
rnen which says : "Your attention is
called to the fact that you are not allowed -
' lowed to use tobacco in any form whatever -
ever while on duty , nor on trains , erin
the stations when off duty with uniform -
form or badge on. This rule is imperative -
ative and must be regarded at all
times. " This may scorn a little severe ,
and may force some men to take a day
of ? occasionally for the purpose of
cliewing.
Parties desiring special , reliable and
free int'orinalion regarding Chicago or
other eastern markets are recomitiended to
correspond with Comstock , Ilughes . v Co. ,
