A prevalent notion throughout the

of the size of tho capital in which so few
of tho residents own their own homes.
Government clerks aro not like mercan
tile ! emplo3'es , tradesmen , mechanics
nnd professional assistants in other cit
ies. They rarely buy or build houses ,
or acquire bank accounts. Efforts to
build medium cost houses here nnd sell
them out on the installment plan have
not met with much success. Many sub
urban town sites have been laid out , but
it seems impossible to coax the salaried
population out of the rented dwellincs
and boarding houses in the heart of tho

atitter'Brown's Bill
For thcV-firsfc time in several years
Farmer Brown did not liave the chil
dren of St. Michael's Orphan Asylum
to dinner on Thanksgiving : Day. In
stead of the usual invitation had
come , a few days before , a note writ
ten in the old farmer's stiff , old-
fashioned hand , saying that owing
to circumstances they would be
obliged to forego their usual custom.
It was a great disappointment to
the little folks ; who had looked for
ward to it for months. Every year
the old farmer and his wife , who nev
er had any children of their own had
been wont to pay the railroad fare of
the thirty odd boys nnd girls of this
Institution for a day's outing and a
good dinner at the farm , which was
some milej from the city. Thoy were
an industrious , thrifty and prosper
ous old couple , * as their well-kept and
well-stocked farm testified , and this
was one of their yearly contributions
to sweet charity.
The circumstances led to their , as
well asthechildren's disappointment ,
were these : One evening , about two
weeks before the holiday , Mr. Brown ,
or ' 'Grandpa , " as he was familiarly
known throughout the neighbor
hood , laid a crisp , new § 50 bill down
on the old family Bible before going
out for the morning chores , saying :
"There , Grandma , is the money for
our children's railroad fare. Be sure
and send it in time. "
"Yes , " answered Grandma , going
on with her dusting , for despite her
years she was still active in house
hold duties. She went out to the
kitchen a few minutes later to talK
over the bill of fare for the childrens
dinner , with her niece Annie. The
girl liad lost sleep from toothcahe
the night before , and motherly Mrs.
Brown bade her go and lie on the
parlor sofa for an hour or two and
herself took her place in the kitchen.
-Annie was the only child of Grand
' who had died be
pa's sister , a year
fore. Her death , if not caused , was
at least hastened , by the disgrace of
the husband , and father , who had
been dishonest in his dealings with
public affairs in which he had held a
place of financial trust , and had been
tried and sentenced to a long term of
years in the State's Prison. The
surprise and indignation of the
Browns knew no bounds. It was
duty simply that led them to offer
the orphan girl a home with them.
She was left destitute. Everything
that could lawfully be taken had gone
to satisfy the demands of justice.
It was thus that at 18 years of
age Annie Reynolds found herself an
-inmate of her uncle's home on a
pleasant farm far from the city of
her childhood. The old people were
kind to her in the main , and were
pleased to have a companion in their
old age , but thoy could not forget
nor forgive the dreadful disgrace it
was to have a "prison bird" one's
family connections. Annie herself
felt the disgrace very keenly and
grew timid and shrinking , rarely as
sociating herself with the young peo
ple of the neighborhood , though
most of them , with the honest in
dependence of rural society , would
haye welcomed her none the less
warmly for her father's crime. The
Browns did notunderstandtheyoung
girl very well , havingso far outgrown
their 'own youthful thoughts and
fancies. They did not realize that a
little tender sympathy would go far
toward lightening her burden of grief
and shame.
Just as they were about sitting
down to dinner that day Grandma
remembered that she had left the
money lying just where Grandpa had
laid it in the morning. She Avent in
to put it away and returned in a few
minutes looking very serious ; when
the meal was finished and Grandpa
repaired to his easy chair by the fire
she followed him , and as she opened
the blind for him to read his
newspaper she told him that the
§ 50 bill had mysteriously disap
peared. Together they searched the
room in every nook and corner with
out success. "Ah , blopd'll tell , " re
marked the farmer as he pushed the
sofa back into its accustomed corner.
"We might 'a known better than
to trust a child of a thief. What's
born and bredinfolksgenerallysticks
to 'em to the end of the chapter. "
After talking the matter over , they
decided to say nothing to Annie for
the present , though they were thor
oughly convinced that she was "a
sly one lik3 her father. " No one had
been in the room but her , and ap
pearances were certainly against her.
They concluded to wait-a few days
and give her a chance to confess and
restore the money.
A week passed by ; with develop
ments , and the indignation of the
old couple grew stronger. They had
no patience with a thief , as they hon
estly thought her to be , and Grand
pa vowed the would no longer have
herunderhisroof. Grandmastillhad
some motherly feeling for the girl ,
and begged him to remember her
youth and try her once more , but he
was inexorable , and Grandma had
always been brought around to his
way of thinking sooner or later. So
it was that Annie found her services
and her presence no longer desired in
the family.
n.
Five years passed away and there
was a funeral at the * farm-house.
The neighbors were arriving from all
directions in farm-vvagons , . in car
" r * "
riages and oh/fpot , rand talking in
little groups of three or four in the
yard and in the orchard. Inthepar-
lor lay Grandma Brown , robed for
her last long sleep , her old face a
a beautiful picture in its frame of
silver hair. Grandpa had aged much
in the past few days , it seemed to
those who were in attendance dur
ing the watching und waiting for
the end. It was time for the service , *
and the minister was speaking to
Grandpa in a low tone and taking
his customary notes. He ' asked for
bhe date of Grandma's birth , and
Srandpa , takingnp the old family
Bible , wfcxsMiad been placed for the

minister's uso * tt tho stand beside
them , turned to the family record.
Not manynameo there only two ,
his and hers , on a page yollovf with
age. It was years since ho had seen
the record , for there had been no
births or deaths to record. As ho
turned tho yellow leaves he saw some
thing thnt sent a chill to his heart.
Right down over their names lay a
§ 50 bill , clean and smooth with hav
ing lain so long beneath tho weight
Ofleaves. Annie had not stolen tl *
money after all ?
The services proceeded , but tho old
man had another grief to bear along
with his bereavement. His thoughts
wandered back to the orphan girl
who had been so cruelly misjudged.
Oh , if they or ho , rather had only
asked her for an explanation ! He
remembered now tlnjt-ySrandma had
suggested it , and how , in his stern
ness and confidence in her guilt , he
had refused. He who had f.ll his life
long prided himself on his honor and
justice , found now , when be was Hear
ing the last mile-post , that he had
be "enmost cruelly unjust to a poor ,
defenseless orphan girl. They had
fed hundreds of orphans at the
Thanksgiving table and sent them
back tb the city , full of sunshine and
happiness , to forever remember and
bless the kind old people who gave
them such a generous holiday ; but
what had they done with the one or
phan that had been intrusted to their
care ?
The funeral was over and the old
man was alone in his lonely home.
Very lonelyit seemed to him with the
wife of forty years gone from him
forever. His own life was nearly
done , but he had a wrong to undo
and restitution to make before he
could lie in peace beside her who had
that day taken up her abode in the
city of the dead. Grief and remorse
held away in the old man's breast
and he refused to be comforted. Ho
wondered if he could find Annie. The
story had never been told , but it
must be told now , for he must have
assistance in his quest for her. For
the last three years a young man ,
John Dean , the son of a distant re
lative who had lost his life in his
country's service some years before ,
had been living with them , and the
old people had come to love him as
their own son. A certain document
among their private papers mado
him the future owner of all their
property. To him , now , the heart
broken old man confided the story ot
the orphan girl. "You must help
me find her , John. I must have her
forgiveness. I must give her back
the home that should have been hers
all these years. "
The Winter passed away and
brought no results of their search.
Every means was taken that could
be thought of , but to no avail. The
old man wandered about , always
looking for something he never
could find. His wrinkled old face
grew into a wasteful expression.
Many supposed that with a half-
wandering mind of second childhood ,
he was always expecting his dead to
return to him.
At last one day a letter came for
him from one of the hospitals in a
distant city ; saying that the young
lady advertised for was a convales
cent in that institution. Grandpa
was too feeble now to go to her , but
John , his guardian and protector ,
could be trusted with the mission.
Three days later he brought her
home , a tall , slender , sad-looking
girl , pale and thin from her long ill
ness , but with a. face made beautiful
by patience in suffering and toil. She
had borne the burden of hard work
and poor pay in a large city , until
she had fainted beneath it , and had
been found insensible in the street.
She hadlain for weeks in the hospital ,
and by the merest chance , when she
was recovered , had found her name
in a morning paper , which the nurse
left in her room.
The childish old man lost no time
in telling his story , deploring his in
justice to her , and begging her to for
get the past and never leave him
again , and , as she looked at the feeble
old man , and thought of Grandma
lying in the church yard , she put her
arms about his neck , kissed his
withered old cheek , and mingling her
tears with his , promised to forget
everything but his past kindness. "I
remember the § 50 bill , though , " said
she. "I remember it lying on the
stand and that I picked it up and
put it in the Bible and never thought
of it again. " Chicago Journal.

Contentment Would. Have Realized
SI 5,000.
Memphis ( Tenn. ) Appeal , March27.
Hearing that there was an unlucky man
in the city , and several other persons who
were Bmiling in contentment and good for
tune , an attache of tho Appeal strolled
down Front street last evening and
stopped at No. 334 , where ho had the
pleasure of ineetin5 Ed Becker , who wore a
victorious smile of satisfaction and joy on
bis round smooth face. In response to
the suggestion that he seemed quitehappy.
Mr. Becker laughed and said : "I think I
should be , for my mother , brother and
-myself have just struck the Louisiana
State Lottery for $15,000. " When asked
for an explanation he made the following
statement : "My brother , Lee Becker , pur
chased one-twentieth of ticket No. 2,887
in the March , 1889 , drawing of the Louiai-
ana . State Lottery Company , and thinking
the number too small to win became dis
satisfied and decided to send to New Or
leans for a ticket , and requested me to
purchase the one he he bad. I did so , and
then sold one-half to my mother and other
brother , and then put the ticket in my
safe and never gave it a thought until two
days after the drawing , when I took it out
and found wo , had drawn one-twentieth of
the capital prize of $300,000. I placed
the ticket with the German bank of this
city , and they collected every dollar of the
money , and I only wish I had some more
like.it , for the Louisiana State Lottery is
all right. "
