THE LAST ITEM.
A 84 Accident" to Oaa Who "Wu
Vnlreraally Uked, HalaK jj0 Trntrnj
Bat Himself".
It was early evening. The lamps
were beginning to shine out here and
there and men and women who had
finished their days work were hurrying
home to supper. The door of a ncal
litUe home stood partly open. A man
was near it, evidently just starting out
to begin his work.
"I am sorry you have to go back to
night work," his wife was saying. She
looked pale and troubled.
"So am I," he answered, "but never
mind, dear, perhaps it won't be long."
He kissed her as he spoke and went
out through the door. She looked after
him with her eyes full of tear;. "If
he should begin again," bhe said; "oh,
if he should!"
"Mamma," called a tall, slender girl
from the room, "come and tell me
what pattern to choose for father's
.slippers; I want to commence em
broidering them to-night. His birth
day Isn't very far ofl". you know."
"Hertha and I are going to club to
gether and get him that new book he
wanted," .said another girl, evidently
her .sister; "we heard him .speak of it
ami we have money enough."
The woman turned and went into the
house and shut the door.
The man went on down the street
and was .oon busily engaged at his
ease, away u in the highest story of a
tall building.
His lingers went back and forth,
baek and forth, picking up the bits of
black metal, setting up line after line
of what in the morning would appear
in the great daily. Out overthecity he
could see the lights beginning to shine,
and gradually the hum in the streets
below him grew less and less.
All about him were men working
away steadily at the bits of metal. He
could hear the presses click, click, as
they went on with their part of the
work.
The gas flared. Now and then one
of the men spoke hrielly, generally
something about the work
Some of them went to their coats
occasionally where they hung on the
wall and drank from" bottles in the
pockets. One offered hi- to the silent
worker boide him, but he shook his
head.
What." called a gay young fellow
across the room, ".V'U given up the
bottle. IV! enroll ; what will happen
next?"
The men laughed.
The light, iu the hour's died out after
awiule, the noises on the street grew
: and flfe The men went to their
bottle oflw' and naa-cd them back
"and forth fpm hand to hand. Menson
was growing tired. lie was not as
young as he had been when ho began
to workat the tvpe,A.nd the smell of
the liquor came to
jbbw
m
as he worked
and grew more and more wearv.
He longed for one taste, just one, "to
help him out." "to rest him." Yet,
when a lad near him took the bottle
and began to taste the liquor he touch
ed his arm and said: "Don't, I began at
your ago; I wanted to be smart; don't
begin."
lJut the boy laughed and drank.
The hours went by anil the presses
clicked louder and the noises on the
street grew less and less.
"Here. Menson," said a man. com
ing across the room, "here is some of
the best Trench brandy. Just taste it;
1 know you arc sick to-night; it'll do
you good."
" I don't foci exactly well." he said,
seizing the bottle eagerly, "I'll taste
it. only taste it."
The fumes of the liquor had been
half-maddening him. his old thirst had
been ening out to be satisfied. He
drank as eagerly a; he had seized it.
"That is good brandy," he said, giv
ing baek the bottle.
The man winked slyly at the others
as he went baek to his ease.
IVIenson worked on. He felt better,
hi- said to himelf. the brandy had done
him good: and after awhile he asked
for another drink.
The man gave it and he drank as
eagerly as before. He had drank a
good many times by the time; the last
line was set up and the men were mak
ing ready to leave, it was early morn
ing now'and the noises of that early
time in the city were beginning to be
heard.
Menson went to get his coat, but he
could not find it. '1 hen he looked for
his hat. but he could not remember
yhere he had put u.
He stood holding ;n to the back of a

had iriven him the brandy eame up.

down below them they could hear the

dropped away fresh and damp from
their "aws. ' .,
"Come on then, now my boy.
called his companion, as Menson hesi
tated. lie drew him on. one bewildered and
confused, the other hilarious and loud.
The elevator began to move down the
shaft. Menson looked up and saw a
door.
-Here's place," he said stepping out
toward it.
His companion caught his coat. It
came off in his hand, and as he stood
wildlv looking at it, he heard, down
below him, something fall heavily.
The sjreat daily had a little item, a
few lines crowded into its eolums that
morning.
Vc regret to relate a sad accident
at the building of the Morning Chron
icle," it sa'uC "which resulted in the
death of one of our oldest and most
popular employes.
"At 8:30 this morning when the
printers were leaving, G. W. Menson,
being at the time in a rather confused
state, owing to having taken a little
brandy for a slight indisposition,
stepped off the elevator shaft at the
fourth story, falling to the basement
and being instantly killed. His terri
fied companion attempted to save him
but was horrified to find his empty
coat left in his hand.
"Menson was universally liked, hav
ing no enemy but himself.

ters who were dependent upon him for

rd'fl Latest Maaheod.
A woman came out of an ill-ventilated
room in a tenement house in
Center street yesterdaj walked
down, the front steps and at
on Jlhc last step. She was about
twenty-five years old, remarka
bly good looking, and held a little child
in her arras. She sat for some time
with her head bent, listening to the
roar of the traffic which swept by. She
raised her head a few times and re
garded with an absent air the crowds
of foot-passengers who hurried to and
fro without stopping, and going mauy
of them knew not' whither. One of
those gorgeous red sunsets which
scientific men can not uilertand was
disappearing behind twj post-olticc
building and sending its ravs slanting
ly down along the street. Xot a brenth
of wind could be felt, and the liquor
stores in the vicinity were wide open
as they would be in the height of the
summer season. Far up on the other
side was the somber-looking portico of
the Tombs, which looked dismal and
forbidding even in such a pleasant at
mosphere. Some of the law-ers who
frequent the place, as much opposed
to as in favor of law and order, pasaed
down the .steps and hurried on.
Around the immense pillars men and
women clustered in groups, all speak
ing at the same time and hanging on
to the place as though it were a haven
of rot for the wearied.
" Git out!"
They separated at once and ran
down the steps'.
A poor wretch, physically well
formed, intelligent looking, but the
picture of dissipation, ran no, stag
gered down the steps and the gruJI
policeman, swinging his club airily,
turned and began talking to a poli
tician. No one noticed the incident
but the politician.
" Did he register?" the politician
a&ked.
" No," said the policeman; "I think
he ain't got a vote."
" If he had, would he vote straight?"
" No; crooked every time. Look at
'im now."
The drunken man was tracing a zig
zag line up the street.
" Whew!" .said the politician; "theo
it re the men who vote straight. I would
have had one more majority had I
known that man;" and he tickled tht
stalwart gendarme, under the ribs.
The man conMl'iued to stagger up the
street, and the woman on the stoop,
looking accidentally across, saw him.
Then, as if to compensate in some
manner for her desolate condition, she
squeezed the little baby over and ovi.i
again and ki-sed it. The innocent l.t
tle being stroked the mother's chei.k
once or twice vith its tiny hand, ami
then, with a sudden light of memory in
its eyes, said, pointing to a liquor store
on the opposite side:
" Ma, I think I saw papa go in
there."
The tears flowed faster adown
mother's cheeks, and this time
sobbed as well as cried.
Presently the man cam: out of
V lie
she
the
saloon. Kvening shadows had com
menced to darken the street, and in
trying to make his way across he stum
bled across two men. He was unable
to excuse himself, and the two men
abused him because he had made their
boots di. He made a strong effort
to clear InS mental vision, and regard
ing the two strigers for a moment,
muttered to hii"lf:
" 'Tis very strange."
"What's strange, you old fool?"
"To see two dudes in these parts of
the town."
"A sail, a sail!" shouted one of the
dudes, in brutal vulgarit. at the same
time pointing to the poor woman on
the stoop, who was still weeping.
They crossed over and sought to en
gage her in conversation. It was near
ly dark.
The drunken man erossed the street
in half a dozen steps, and felled one
after another of the insullers.
He tenderly lifted his wife and went
up stairs. He was quite sober now.
"I'll never drink again." said he,
pressing his wife's hands and kissing
lier. The wife cried tears of joy this
time; so did the little child.
"Kddieation and good brecdin' tells,"
remarked the policeman, as he went by
swinging his club. X. V. Telegraph.

Wuen an anatomist wishes to pre
serve a human brain for any length of
time, he effects his object by keeping
that organ in a vessel of alcohol. From
the soft, pulpy substance, it becomes
comparatively hard: but the inebriate,
anticipating the anatomist, begins the
indurating process before death; be
gins it while the brain remains the
consecrated temple of the soul, while
its delicate and gossamer tissues throb
with the pulaes of Heaven-born life.

into this innosent old seed that, bein a

tikkit the next, and so on. becoz when
a man votes the same tikkit twiet in

and can't be a Mugwump at all.
The Mugwump uv to-day is the In

to find out wat a Mugwump reely is.
Ef the President kin ask an thing uv

How all thi- was dime remains a mys

on account of there being four
