More than a year agn I found, my self, just as darkness was falling, at the door of a cabin in the heart of the mountains. My horse was tired and mo was I. They took me in and kept me over night. I needn't tell you how I slept with the ten or twelve members of the mountaineer's family, and how we all washed in the same tin basin in the morning. That's another story. Uut I do want to tell you of the work of art which hung on the log walls. It was a poster, representing Nellie Mc IIenry.

I thought I could more eady let her go out into the unknown if I could but feel that her hope would be realized, and I put iuto words this feeling. I pleaded that if there were an) of her own departed ones present at this supreme moment could they not, and would they not, give me some least sign that such wa the fact, and I would be content? Slowly over the dying one's face spread a mellow, radiant mist I know of no other way to describe it. In a few moments it covered the dving face as with a veil. and spread in a circle of about a foot beyond, over the pillow, the strange yellowish-white light all the more di-r-iinct from the partial darkness of tne r- mm. Then from the center of this, im mediately over the hidden face, ap peared an apparently living face, with smiling eyes which looked directly in to mine, gazing at me with a look s full of comforting assurance that I could scarcely feel frightened.

Mrs. Clemens instructed her hus band that he would find his lunch nicely prepared in the refrigerator On her way home she inquired of Mr. Clemens as to his bachelorhood and how he hail enjoyed his lunch. "Well," said n Mr. Clemens. "I didn't think the salad vou spoke of was espe cially good, but I ate it."

When the Westing house Air-lrake Company was a new concern the directors gave to Mr. Westinghouse a paper vesting abso lutely in hi hands the power to lix the selling price of air-brakes. The object was to cripple competitors. When the West inirhoue F.ivctric and Manu facturing Company was in trouble Mr. West iii"house aillied to the air brake company for a 'man of $.'M.00:. His application was refused and men tion made of the fact that he owed the air-brake company $;.'p.oto. At the next mectiug of the board Mr. Westinghouse produced the paper giving l,ini the authority to Jix prices. Its existence had Leea' forgotten and the director saw the imKrtauee of gaiuiug possession of it. Attorneys were consulted to ascertain what could be done. All said that the only thine would be to make terms with Mn WMtinghoiue. Then he wa aaked what he would take for the papr. He Paid $1,000,000, stuck to the figur and got it.

"Do you know," said a member of fine of the big dry goods (irms recent ly, "that the weakness for prigging small articles of portable property. known as kleptomania, has increased to such an extent among our custom ers that we now have a list of twenty- three women who rob ns every time ihev come into the store. As they are all steady patrons of our house, and thuir annual bills mount up to a big sum in the aggregate, we let them freely indulge their shopliftingfancies. Afterward a clerk is sent to their homes, and the missing goods are re turned either by the kleptomaniac her self or her relatives. Nearly every one of them is fond of taking som particular article, and the remainder are liable to lay hands on anything from a handkerchief to a box of gloves. The only drawback to this little sys tem is that when we light on a bona fide shoplifter she invariably tries the kleptomania lay, and it is hard work to select the real article." A. Y. Ad vertiser.
