IN THE WRONG NICHE.
Sow a Devoted Wife Passed
from Darkness to TAg nt
Halstead Swinger, having tried almost
everything else, and finding nothing to
his taste, took unto himself a wife. He
did not exactly love Rose, but he was
confident that she loved him, and on the
-whole he reasoned. tBe next best thing
to marrying one whom you love is
marrying one who loves you. Rose
was a village girl, fair of face, devoid
of experience, but with a great capacity
for loving. She was the daughter of
mobody in particular, as her husband
averred; that is, of course, he made
iiaste to add, nobody that anybody
would care to know or descend from.
Nevertheless there was one creature
who presently took it into his head to
descend from this obscure nobody, and
that was no less a person than Halstead
Swinger's son. It was a great pity that
he arrived at that inopportuao moment
for his father had just come to the con
clusion that he was in the wrong niche
ras a newspaper reporter, and that his
jrcal vocation was the law.
"The law," ho said to the admiring
Hose, 'is in this Republio of ours the
.only sure way to distinction. Look at
the cabinet miuisters, the President
-and the1 foreign ministers they have
studied law. at some time or other,
-every one of them."
"But are you sure, Halstead dear,
that you have a talent for tho law?"
qu oned Rose, timidly.
"Talent, did you sayP talent!" ex-
claimed her husdand, pacing up and
down the floor, rumpling his picturesque
hair "talent my dear Rose? Do you
cmean to say that you doubt my ability?
Alas! and to this I have come, that my
character is questioned and aspersed in
xuy own family!"
'"But my dear," Rose remonstrated,
tenderly, "there is no one here who has
rsaid a word against your character is
there, baby dear?" she cooed sweetly,
stooping down and rubbing her face
caressingly against the baby's chubby
checks.
"Speech, Rose, speech," he went on,
somewhat pacified, "is what moves the
souls of men. I have felt from the hour
of my birth that fate destined mo for an
orator. To sway great masses of men
ty tne power ot my speech that bos
always been my idea of happiness."
"But that you can do by means of
our pen, too,' Rose observed quietly;
for since baby had arrived she was
afraid of encouraging Halstead m fur
ther changes of profession.
"My pen!" cried Mr. Swinger; 'did
-xan say my pen? The living word lies
in the pen, and is henceforth but an
inky pen scratch. Must you reach the
heart of humanity by reporting prize
fights and family scandals for the
h'ecUy BaMOonr
Rose made no further remonstrance,
for she always, at heart, agreed with
Halstead ia almost everything he said.
It was undoubtedly true that if ha only
ot into his right niche he would make
tho woild aware what a man he was,
and honors and distinctions would
.shower down upon him. She therefore
agreed, after an all-night's talk, to have
Jiim give up his place on the Wukiy
Mutton and takejp the study of law.
She could take hi sewing in the mean
-while, and perhaps get a little writing
to do f orthe papers, for the had a tew
oddest observations to make concerning
things ia general, and was anxious to
get a chance to print them.

while, as if her mind was beginning to
ran dry. She had. ia the strata for

had given advice about a hundred things
which she kn w- nothing about She
had written about babies and maternal
duties until that subject too, seemed
fairly exhausted.. Her "Hygiene in the
Nursery" and "Advice to loung Moth
ers" had been quite successful, though
she had scarcely tried or practiced a
single rule that she recommended. Her
accommodations were too poor and her
life too busy. In fact ah was too tired
to see even the humor of her own situa
tion as the experienced adviser of hun
dreds who probably knew more than
herself. No doubt Halstead, who had
more of a sense for humor, would have
seen it if he had ever had the time to
read ber articles. But he was at lhe law
school all day long, and when he came
home at night he liked to talk of pie s
ant things, particulaly to expatiate
upon the brilliancy of his prospects. It
was, indeed, delightful to listen to him,
and she could never forgive herself for
having once fallen asleep during his dis
course. But tnen sne naa neen so very

in.
The day when Halstead came home
with his diploma as Bachelor of Laws
was a great day in the annals of the
family. Rose sat at the window and
cr'cd for very ioy. She had grown so
pale and haggard and red-eyed of late
that it was not to be expected that he
should eome up and kiss her, as ho
would have done in days of old. He was
so ab-orbed in the weighty affairs of
life now that it would be absurd to ex
pect of him that ne should think of such
trifles as kissing his wife. And yet if
he had happened to think of it, it
seemed to Rose that her cup of happi-
ncss would have been full. Now Hal-
stead was at lat in his right niche and
their trials would soon be over.
He hired an ollicc down-town and had
his name inscribed upon his window-
Eano in neat g It letters. Rose and
aby took a trip across in the ferry to
seo how it looked from the street She
was a little surprised when she found
her husband alone in the otlice. She
had expected to walk proudly through
a throng of clamorous die its. He ux-
Elained to her, however, that until he
ad his first chance to appear in court
he could scarcely expect any rush of
clieuts. She blushed at her own folly
and thought that Halstead was right,
as always. When she got home she

Halstead should be staying here and

doubt would hive given much for this

She ventured to suggest t.iis idea to
him, and he took it up eagerly.

up and down the floor with a cigar iu

The story about the wicked people
persecuting innocence troubled Rose a
good deal after she had dispatched it to
the editor. And her conscience was
not soothed by the fact that she received
thirtv.dollars for it After a loug strug
gle "with herself, she inclined to the
view that God could scarcely be hard
on her when He considered for what
purpose she had suspended her con
science. A conscience was, after alL a
costly luxury which not everybody could
afford to entertain. Another blooi-and-thunder
tale, more harrowine than
the first was composed amid tears and
prayers to God for forgiveness. It seemed
desperate v bad to Rose's child-like
soul, though I doubt if it contained
wickedness enough to corrupt a kitten.
She sat up night after nght scribbling
away for dear life, helless of the pains
which shot like needle-points through
her eyeball. The thought that she
was thus enabling her husband to per
severe in his struggle against his ene
mies, that she was helping him along
the road that would surely lead Km to
honor and glory, stimulated her fancy
to the bolde.it invention, and chased her
hand feverishly over the paper. This
time she received forty dollars and
much encourarcmont. But such a nor
rnr fuized her. as she painfully deci
phcred the editorial compliments, that
she dared not be alone, but ran out into
the street ( and clasped her child con
vulsively in her arms.
"You will love mamma, even though
she is bad, won't yoi baby?" she
whispered, huskily, as she hugged the
boy 10 her breast
"But you a n't bad, mamma; you are
a good mamma," said the boy, with
conviction.
She took him by the hand, and led
him into the aitting-roora, which was
al-o the kitchen. For a long while sho
he'd him upon her lap, telling him tho
most mo al of Sunday-school tales, hop
ing vaguely to accumulate something
toiler credit in the dreadful book of the
Recording Angel. But the boy grew

allowed to run out agaiu. Then she

struggled and suffered. She had only
to niatie one effort more, to persevere a
little longer. Then there would be no
more nee I of sacrifice. Then she could
afford to be good and conscientious.
Halstead brought many distressing
lales when he came in the evenings in
tho o days. It appeared that his enemies
were redoubling their efforts to crush
him; particularly that unscrupulous Mr.

she felt cou.ident that in the end justice
would prevail. She writhed under the
necessity of composing another of those
horrible and demoralizing tales, but it
was surely to be the last; because now
' that Halstead was in his right niche, he
would certainly get a chance to deliver
one of those masterly speeches of his,
an i theu 1 10 rest was plain sailing.
When she woke up the next morning

Rose bowed her head. Her forehead
rested upon the lawyer's knee. Tne
Irish woman, understanding that some
thing was wrong, put her arms about

dazed smile flitted across the young,
haggard face. She rubbed her eyes as
if she were striving desperately to see.
" What did be ssy about Halstead?"
she asked, faintly; "what did he say,

"Niver ye moind whathe said," Mrs.

FAITH CURES.
Mimetic Maladic Amenable to the Cura
tive Influence of Faith.
It is not our purpose to deny, or even
question, the verity of cures "by faith."
The "mind" so acts on the body, and
the brain plays so important a part in
the nervous system, by which the whole
organism is energized and controlled
both iu regard to its functions and nu
trition, that it Is not only quite possi
ble, but an absolute lact that many
maladies which are not so far advanced
as to be dependent upon changes in
structure, or "organic diseases," may be
remedied by or through the agency of
the mind. We will even go so far as to
affirm that a very large proportion of
the ailing might be. aud probablj- would

Salvationists
Such
"miracles" as the
are
working
the
with their
j)resage among tne emotion
al classes, whether illiterate or
well informed, have uniformly signal
ized the commencement of a new era
in religious enthusiasm. When the
first enthusiasm subsides, "miracles
cease" of physico-mental necessity.
The large class'of so-called hysterical,
cataleptic, and even epileptic affections
arc distinctly amenable to this influ
ence; so are thoc n'-rvous disturbances
and derangements which consist wholly
or chiefly in disorderly activity, as dis
tinguished from actual disease. The
mimetic maladies, of which there are
always a very large number of cases,
are, of course, amenable to the cura
tive influence of faith. Outside these
classes, however, stand a multitude of
badly managed or misunderstood cases
which on I j' ncod to be placod on a new
footing it m-tters little what to get
well. A wondrous crowd of ignorant
prejudices still hovers over many dis
tricts as to th : curability or hopeless
ness of special diseases which are bet
ter understood and more successfully
treated ou common seuse principles
in the centers of knowledge.
For example, we know of localite
and affections which, being associated,
produce the most dire delusions as to
the length of time bones usually take
to unite in healthy subjects; and how
coughs and other distressing maladies
are, or are not, under the control ol
the will. In such combinations oi
facts and fiction, it is easy to get
miracles out of such common matters
as the union of the accurately applied
ends of a fractured radius in three or
four days! There is not a word to be
said against "healing by faith." Every
busy practitioner has cases under his
observation that he would be heartily
glad to find o powerfully affected
that they could be cured even by
this agency. All we are anxious
to point out is that an ia
telligent lay press ought not
to lend itself to the promulgation of
nonsensical beliefs and impressions. Of
course, it is true that many of the poor
people who are reported to be "cured"
are actually benefited by the r faith.
This is a fact and there is ne sort of
reason why the benefits received should
not be permanent U the subjects ef
these cares are thankful to the Giver of
all good, that is not a matter to make
merry about It Is as it should be. We
are glad ef their gain, sod alea-ed te
find them ssoved to gratkndc. Mean

Whit Men Who VUlt Afrle Inrltcfl to

When an African chief travels he
takes the who!e or a part of his house
hold with him. The simple aborigines,
therefore, arc apt to look upou the sol
itiry while trawler who wanders
through their country without a single
wife in his train a a suspicious charac
ter. They are quite sun he needs close
watching to prevent his running oX
with some of the females of the tribe.
Dr. Harth. the explorer. ."aid, after liv
ing for live ears in Africa, that it
would !e better for a traveler in thoe
regions to take his wife with him. if
possible. He said the native- would re
spect him more ami h would get aloug
better. They had nothiug to object to
me." he wrote, "except ray being a
bachelor."
If the traveler has no wife the native
chiefs, as a rule, are not backward
about offeriug to supply the deficiency.
Nearly all the explorers have had Mime
annoying experiences with Kinirs who
were anxious to have them .-ettle down,
marry into the royal family and grow
up wifi the country. Some travelers
have felt compelled to leave very ab
ruptly in order to e?cae the attentions
of women who were determined to
claim them as their husbands.
Dr. Huchner, the German traveler,
who lived for six months at the capital
of tho Muala Yanvo about live years
ago, vas very much d stressed by the
deep interest with which he had unwit
tingly inspired the sister of that Central
African potentate. He describes her as
a middle-aged and remarkablv unpre
possessing JMsrson of great avofrdujRiis.
She insisted that Ibicliner take her for
his wife and settle down comfortably as
the joint proprietor of her extensive
herds and tields. bhe importuned him
so frequently that he was glad to ocajn?
her at last by quitting the country.
One of the daughters of the King of
the A'nbuellas, near the Zambvsi Kher.
fell desperately in love with .Vrpa Tinto.
the Portuguese explorer, who returned
to Africa a few months ago. Her elder
siste who ably abetted her matrimo
nii designs, was very indignant when
l'into refused to marry the young girl.
She wanted to know, in the sdirillest of
toni s, if there were any prettier women
in tiio country he came from, and what
sort of a man he was umhow. The
sharp-witted wife of one of Pinto's tor
ter heard the row and entered the hut.
Avsum.ng an air of great indignation,
she told their Itoynl Highnesses tha
Pinto was her hiitband. and they had
better let him alone. She bundled them
out of the hut. and Pinto aud 1'is party
loft early next morning to avoid any
further complications. In the picture
Pinto's book contains of the infatuat-d
young woman she appears to be quite a
line specimen of an African beauty.
Explorers have learned by experience
that it is lest to permit their porters to
take their women along with them,
even if their journey is to bo thousands
of miles iu length. When a carrier has
his wife with him he is not 1 kety to run
away. Besides, the women carry bur
dens nearly a heavy as those of the
men. Tiny wash and cook better than
the men, endure fatigue better, carry
their burdens mor.j cheerfully, anil
work for less pay. African women
have proved valuable adjuncts of near
ly every expedit on that has penetrated
the continent in the past ten yean.
Mr. Hore, a missionary on the great
Lake Tanganyika, found near the
southern coastthree years ago a flour
ishing tribe whose ruler was ti woman.
She was a good-looking negress. nearly
forty years old, and she was attended
everywhere she went by a train of fifty
ladies in waiting. Mr. Hore was the
first white man Queen Mwcmahad hccn.
and she thought she would like to nave
the pale-faced stranger permanently
near her residence. She beggis! him to
live in her town, and when lie insi'te 1
that he could not, she did not let him
o until he had promised to send some
of his brethren to reside in her district.
The Queen said she woald give them
bouses and plenty of land. -1 JJtsston-

There are a good many kinds of game
in Wyoming. Prominent in the list arc
antelope, deer, elk, sage bene bear, in
frequent buffalo, illusive Indians, cur
sory cowboys, philanthropic rattle
snakes aad confiding tenderfeet.
The cowboys hunt all the different
varieties of game mentioned with great
success, but the emerald-hned tender
foot is their meat They would rather
bag one tenderfoot than a dozen griz
zlies or a brace of Indian. The danger
is vastly less, and-there is heaps more

As for the tenderfoot, he would rather
be chased all day. and even caught and
bitten, by an antelope than be corralled
