which the writer asserted In substance that all disease should bo regarded as criminal Certain It Is that much of tho sickness and suffering of mankind is duo to tho violation of certain of Natures laws But to say that all sickness should bo regarded as criminal must appeal to every reasonable Individual as radically wrowg It would bo harsh unsympathetic cruel yes criminal to condemn the poor

the Importune and IoHNlblliticN of Telegraphy When the battle of Pittsburg Laud ing wns fought the first report which reached Detroit was that there wero G0000 killed and wounded I was a train newsboy then and I told the telegraph operator at the Detroit sta tion that if he would wire the main facts of the battle along the line so that announcements could be put up at the station bulletin boards I would give Ilarpers Weekly to him for six months free of cost I used to sell about forty newspa pers on the trip but that day I bought 1000 At the first station the crowd was so big that I thought It was au excursion crowd But no when the people caught sight of me they began to yell for papers I just doubled the price on the spot and charged 10 cents instead of 5 cents a copy When I got to the last station I jumped the price up to 23 cents a copy and sold all I had left I made 75 or 100 on that one trip and I tell you I felt mighty good That called my attention to what a telegraph operator could do and I made up my mind to becomo an op erator as soon as possible Then I joined hands with a man named Callahan and we got up sever al improved types of stock tickers These improvements were a success When the day of settlement for my inventions approached I began to won der how much money I would get I was pretty raw and knew nothing about business but I hoped that I might get 3000 I dreamed of what I could do with big money like that of the tools and other things I could buy to work out Inventions but I knew Wall street to be a pretty bad place and had a general suspicion that a man was apt to get beat out of his money there So I tried to keep my hopes down but the thought of 3000 i kept rising in my mind Well one day I was sent for by the president of the Gold and Stock Tele graph company to talk about a settle ment on my improvements He was General Marshall Lefferts colonel of the Seventh regiment I tell you I was trembling all over with embarrass ment and when I got in his presence my vision of 3000 began to vanish When he asked me how much I wanted I was afraid to speak I feared that if I mentioned 5000 I might get nothing That was one of the most painful and exciting moments of my life My how I beat my brains to know what to say Finally I said Suppose you make me an offer liy tuat time 1 was scared I was more than scared I was paralyzed How would 40000 do asked Gen eral Lefferts It was all I could do to keep my face straight and my knees from giv ing way With a great effort I said that I guessed that would be all right He said they would have the contract ready in a few days and I could come back and sign It In the meantime I scarcely slept I couldnt believe it When I went back the contract was ready and I signed it In a hurry I dont know even now what wras In It A check for 40000 was handed me and I went to the bank as fast as my feet would carry me It was the first time I was ever inside of a bank I got In line and when my turn came I handed in my check Of course I had not indorsed it The teller looked at it then pushed it back to me and roared out some thing which I could not understand being partly deaf My heart sank and my legs trembled I handed the check back to him but again he pushed it back with the same unintelligible ex plosion of words That settled it I went out of the bank feeling miserable I was the vic tim of another Wall street skin game I never felt worse in my life I went around to the brother of the treasurer who had drawn the check and said Im skinned all right When I told him my story he burst out laughing and when he weat into the treasurers office to explain mat ters there was a loud roar of laughter at my expense They sent somebody to the bank with me and the bank officials thought it so great a joke that they played a trick on me by paying the whole 40000 In ten twenty and fifty dollar bills It made an enormous pile of money I stuffed the bills In my inside pock ets and outside pockets my trousers pockets and everywhere I could put them Then I started for my home In Newark I wouldnt sit on a seat with anybody on the train or let anybody approach me When I got to my room I couldnt sleep for fear of being rob bed So the next day I took it back to General Lefferts and told him I didnt know where to keep it He had it placed In a bank to my credit and that was my first bank account With that money I opened a new shop and worked out new apparatus Pear sons Magazine A Call DoTrn The Tenant Say last night the rain came through the roof and gave me a regular shower bath Ton

a line of coaches that ran between Brookline and Bos ton The boss began to be suspicious that there was a leakage somewhere and determined to locate It A rough desk had been rigged up In the stable and each man as he came In at night was supposed to wrap up his money for tho day in a paper and put it in the desk The boss of the line hid In the hay one night and watched the men unload their money hoping to find who was the thief When Hank came In he took his money out of his pocket and began to divide it The fare was a shilling each way Taking the pile of shillings he began to drop them in two piles saying A shilling for me a shil ling for the boss and so on until the money was divided At the end It failed to come out even a shilling being left over Hank was In a quandary but finally flipped the coin in the air with neads for me tails for the boss To Hanks disgust the coin came tails up but after a moments pause he said I guess I will keep it just the same The next day the boss called him In and discharged him Hank professed great Indignation and then said Do you think I have been stealing The boss paused a moment and re plied Hank I do not object to a fair divi sion but why

actor tells the following story about his aunt Miss Sarah Thome who was leading woman at the Theatre Royal Dublin many years ago Miss Thome was given a part In The Masked Prince the second piece of the evening said Mr Giilmore Glancing through her part hastily at breakfast she noticed that there was one scene In which she had so little to say that it could be learned just be fore going on She decided to skip that scene and get to the longer passages When night came and my aunt made her appearance she did very well in the first scene In the second scene occurred the passages she had skipped In the morning She rushed to the corner In which she left her book but It was not there Finally the stage manager receiving no response to his repeated calls sought her out and pushed her on the stage There she was before a large audience with put the slightest Idea of what she was supposed to do or say The scene was a courtroom At a high desk sat the presiding judge letter perfect in his part because he had it ready to read from the papers in front of him A trial was taking place and Miss Thome to her horror discovered that she was to be the principal witness on whose answers hung the entire plot of the play The judge adjusted his spectacles looked at his part and said In solemn tones The witness will now state what she saw the prisoner do on this particular night What was she to answer She glanced around helplessly She hadnt the faintest idea what she had seen the prisoner do on that particular nisjht The critical moment had arrived some one must speak but she couldnt Her eye alighted on one of the characters In the play who looked particularly reliable He looked like a person who could get one out of any sort of dif ficulty So pointing at him she ex claimed in impressive tones Ask that man The entire cast seemed disconcerted by this remark They did not know precisely Avhat ought to be said but instinct told them something was wrong The judge thinking he might have made some mistake turned over a couple of pages of manuscript and having convinced himself on this point again addressed the witness My aunt glanced at the uncomfortable gentle man and no other Idea coming to her again exclaimed Ask that man This concentration of public attention was too much for him and he sneaked off the stage with a feeble Excuse me Of course the situation was a hopeless one and the curtain had to be rung down Success The Spanish Slain What do you understand by the Spanish main Such was the prob lem propounded at the club lunch ta ble and many and varied were the an swers In the Wreck of the Hes perus It was remembered that there spake up an old sailor who had sailed the Spanish main and It was recalled that in the Ingolsby Legends one says My father dear he Is not here he seeks the Spanish main There was however a certain vagueness about the speakers views as to what particular thing was meant by the word some thinking one thing and some thinking another and only one speaking with the authority of an old sailor who had sailed the Spanish main Such a discussion tends to show how satisfied most of us are to half know a thing or to think that we know without troubling about verifica tion London Chronicle The Shopping Sex The Englishwoman never knows when she enters a shop what she wants She is swayed by Impulse grabs wildly at everything she likes or thinks she likes and probably comes back and grumbles the next day She is also completely lost If the shop walkers do not dog her every footstep to implore hor to look at this charm ing toque or condescend to glance at this special line in cheap skirts But the American woman resents any suggestion that she does not know what she wants likes to be left se verely alone and if interfered with may abruptly leave the shop But while she Is less Irritating than the Englishwoman she is far more exact ing London Express The Old Great Eastern The last days of the Great Eastern were certainly sad considering the pur pose for which she was designed and the great work she did In cable laying For some time before she was broken up on the mud of the river Mersey near Liverpool she was on view as a show ship One firm of Liverpool clothiers hired her for a season and in addition to using her for its advertising purposes made use of her for catchpen ny shows In the large cable tank a circus was fitted up and performances given at so much a head while other exhibitions of the Coney Island type were spread all over her deck The Eastern Eye The eyes of the yellow people are not oblique notwithstanding that they ap pear to bo The line adjoining the commissures of the eyelids divides the eye Into two equal parts and is ex actly at right angles with the axis of the nose It is not always so the ex ception Is much less frequent than In the whites for as a general rule It is In the latter that the eyes are not at right angles with the axis of the nose When death the great
