Worse Than a Failure.
They had boon married just a month
when he lost his position , and during
the next eighteen months he jumped
rapidly from one thing to another
without being nt all successful at any
thing. By this time , off course , her
trousseau was getting frayed around
the bottom and rusty around the top.
and the hope which she had been en
tertaining that she would some day be
the possessor of some new gowns had
become a sort of permanent hope , as
far as she could see , or , in , fact ; as far
as they both could see together.
"Elizabeth. " he said one day , "do
you think marriage is a failure ? "
"Failure ! " she said scornfully. "It't
a panic ! " LIpplncott's.
Life , Love and Death.
A little dreaming by the way , .
A little tolling by the day , /
A little pain , a llttlo strife ,
A little joy and that Is life.
A short lived , fleeting summer's morn ,
When happiness seems newly born ,
When , one day's sky Is blue above
And one bird sings and that Is love.
A little wearing of the years ,
T he tribute of a few hot tears.
Two folded hands , the fainting breath
And peace at Jast and that la death.
Just dreaming , loving , dying , so '
The actors In the drama go
A flitting picture on the wall ,
Love , death , the themes ! But is that t tt
Labeled.
A few years ago Miss Ethel Barry-
more , the actress , was beselged by a
number of artists who begged the
privilege of making sketches of her
pretty face. Too gracious to refuse
she freely granted permission In every
? ase. Among those for whom Miss
Borrymore posed was a young artist
of the Impressionist school , who , after
considerable labor , produced a ghastly
yellow and green portrait which was
supposed by the budding artist , at
least , to be a likeness of the actress.
When It was finished the painter
bravely took It to Mlsa Barrymore and
asked her to sign It and write some
thing or other some little sentiment-
above her signature.
Miss Bnrrymorc gasped as she looked
at the wretched portrait and then
quickly pulling herself together , smiled
and wrote :
"This Is nut a sunset ; It Is Ethel
Bnrrymore. "
Did What He Could.
The distinction between thepariah
rector and the curate In the old days
In England Is Illustrated by a story ol
an old rector. Returning to his parish
after his autumn holiday and noticing
a woman at her cottage door with hei
baby In her arms , he asked , "Has that
child been baptized ? "
"Well , sir , " replied the courtesylng
mother , "I shouldn't like to say ae
much as that , but your young man
came and did what he could.1' '
WAS MIKE M'OWN OF NIOBRARA
Kadoak , S. D. , Juno 14. Mtko Maloney -
loney , who claims self defense as his
motive in killing W. D. Tonoy and J.
Qooden , the Sioux City horse dealers
whoso bodies wore found In n well on
the "McNally ranch Friday morning , is
declared to bo "Mike" McOwn , who
was arrested several years ago at Nlo-
brara on a murder chargo. "Maloney"
has admitted that his real name Is
Isaac McOwn.
A brother of John Qoodcn , one of
the murdered men , Is William Qoodon
of Bassett , Nob.
McOwn , or Maloney , after being ar
rested at Cottonwood , was taken to
Fort Pierre , the county seat.
His Nlobrara Record.
McOwn seems to have been using
one or more aliases. Ho gave his name
as Mike Maloney , and later registered
nt the hotel as Mike McOwn. A man
who know him several years ago at
Nlobrara , Neb. , recognized him a few
days slnco as Mllco McOwn. While at
Nlobrara nt about that tlmo bo was
arrested for killing a man named
Frank Merrltt , but as there was no
direct evidence ho was not hold. He
is n blacksmith by trade and worked
for Adolph Holan of Nlobrara. When
found at Cottonwood ho was asleep ,
and was captured without trouble In
n building which ho had purchased.
Being awakened , ho made an attempt
to use his gun , but was prevented and
disarmed.
Admits Killing Employers.
For some hours after being captured
he would make no statement , but fin
ally admitted the killing , saying that
he did Jt In self defense. His story
of the killing is about as follows :
Goodcn and Tonoy owned the outfit
together , and on the 26th of May ho
bought them out. Gooden came to
town , and upon returning got Into a
quarrel with McOwn and grabbed a
neckyoke and started for him , but
McOwn got a club and knocked him
down. Then Tonoy , seeing the trou
ble , came over where they were and
chased McOwn around the wagon with
a pitchfork , when the latter struck him
In the face and knocked him down and
killed him with an ax. Ho then
wrapped Tonoy In a blanket and
threw him in the well and Gooden In
on top. The ax with which ho did the
deed he threw In the creek near the
well.
Does Land Office Business.
McOwn's career after leaving hero
was rather checkered and tinged
slightly of frenzied finance. Goodon
had a bank account In the State bank
of Sioux City , his bank book showing
a balance of $600. This Maloney Is al
leged to have raised to $6,000 and
checked against it in Gooden's name.
He arrived at Cottonwood on Wednes
day and made n start by purchasing
240 acres of land adjoining town , a
building used for a pool hall and a har
ness shop , all of which ho paid for by
check. He sold a team and wagon
and took a note and moitgago for the
same , and loaned a party $100. In all
his purchases amounted to over $7,000.
Ho also had been to Quinn and se
cured a quantity of new harness which
Gnoden had shipped there , it being
Gooden's intention to start a shop
there later.
Brother at Bassett.
A report received from a party at
Interior who know Gooden and Toney
was that the men were brothors-Jn-law ,
having married sisters ; also that Fred
Morgan , who lives about twenty-five
miles west of. town , was a brother-in-
law. He is on his way here.
McOwn stated to the coroner Satur
day that his name Is Isaac McOwn
and that his folks live n - Washta , la. ;
that he has two brothers at Yankton ,
S. D. ; that John Gooden , one of the
murdered men , formerly ran a harness
shop on West Seventh street , In
Sioux City , and that n brother , Will-
lam Gooden , lived at Bassett , Neb.

Mr. Dlngley was riding one day In
the trolley car from the capltol with
Mark Ilanna. He Bald : "Mark , you
are many years younpcr than I am ,
and you have made millions. I never
have been able to get ahead of the
game In life , and yet my legislation
has made rich men richer and poor
men rich. Now , how do they do It ? "
Ilanna said , "Dlngley , I can tell you
right off how to make 25 per cent on
your Investment"
Dlngley turned eagerly to his sup
posed benefactor and said , "For heav
en's sake , Mark , how ? "
"Why. " said Ilanna , "these five cent
tickets upon which wo ride are sold
by the railroad company In a bunch
at 25 per cent discount. There Is your
fortune , If you Invent enough. "
Scolded and Comforted.
At a lunch given In his honor Svcn
Hedin read an amusing letter written
to him by Alfred Nobel nt a time
when Hedin was still a student , but al
ready filled with a longing to explore
unknown Asia. He applied to the gov
ernment for funds , but the answer
was so slow In coming that ho wrote
to Nobel , who promptly replied : "I
take no Interest In these geographical
exploration trips. In fact , I regard
them as nu anachronism. Men coin-
munlcnto with each other today from
one end of the earth to the other by
means of telegraph and post. There
nro In Asia , too , explorers and savants
who are surely better qualified than
you , sir , to study and describe their
native country. I therefore believe
that you could make better use of
your ambitious Impulses than by un
dertaking trips to Asia. But In order
that you may see that I do not always
act as I think I scud you a sum which
may serve as the best confutation of
my own convictions. "
Mo Had Another Da/ .
Pat McGulre was an Inveterate
drinker. For many years he had been
addicted to the use of liquor , and , al
though he signed numerous pledges ,
he was unable to break hlmyclf from
the habit Finally , after being arrest
ed several times for being drunk and
disorderly , Pat told the magistrate of
his unsuccessful fight against liquor
and asked the magistrate to help him
keep sober.
The magistrate' was Interested and
promised to aid him all he could.
"Pat" said he , "I shall help you as
much as I can. So the next time you
become Intoxicated I want you to re
port to me on the following day. "
Pat promised.
About two weeks later Pat staggered
Into the magistrate's office with a load
he should have made two trips for.
"Mornln1 , magshrate , " said he.
"Wash drunk yesterday. "
"Drunk yesterday I" roared the mag
istrate. "Why , you loafer , you're
drunk nowl"
"Thasu allrL" said Pat "but I don't
have to report thlsh drunk until tomor

Young Men to Bo Managers.
With the object of luiHlng the stand
ard of street railway employee * Oreti

ropolitan Street Railway company in
New York , has perfected plows for the
establishment of a training school In
which graduates of colleges and scien
tific schools will be fitted for the tech
nical and practical work of the street
car business. The company will de
fray all the expenses of the school and
will pay the students living wages
during the course of two years. Dur
ing the first year the student will be
paid $15 a week. The second year
men will receive $20 a week. To give
him a general Idea of the street rail
way business he will be assigned to
duty In the maintenance of way. the
electrical , the equipment and the trans
portutlon departments , spending three
months In each department
"It Is ray Intention , " said Mr. Root ,
"to establish a practical training school
for young men. particularly graduates
of high schools , manual training
schools , colleges and universities , who
have had more or less technical train
Ing and who Intend to cuter upon the
vocation of operating street railroads.
It Is the aim to make the conditions
advantageous to the young man who
has an inclination to enter upon work
of this character.
"Such a man under the proposed
plan will have an opportunity to
quaint himself with the details of the
work , while receiving at the same
time a salary which will , with strict
economy , enable him to be self sup
porting. He may thus determine fet
himself whether ho Is fitted and has a
liking for employment of this charac
ter. On the other hand , the Metro
politan Street Railway company will
profit by the experiment In that' ' It
will be possible to test the capacity ,
ability and adaptability of applicants ,
who will constitute a body of candi
dates from whom men may bo chosen
when It becomes necessary to fill va
cancies In the regular operating staff. "

HOME FOR HARVARD LAMPOON
Will Qe the Only College Publication
That Can Make Such a Boatt.
Already distinguished as the oldest
comic paper lu the United States , the
Harvard Lampoon Is to huve a hand
some building , giving It the honor of ,
possessing the only ouu owned mid oc
cupied by a college publication and of
being one of the few comic papers to' '
have homes of their own.
Work has already begun on the
utructuro In Cambridge , Mass. , so that
the handsome quarters will be ready
for "Lumpy" by next fall. An entire
block bounded by Bow , Mount Auburn
and Plympton streets will bo utilized.
Edmund March Wheelwright , ' 70.
who was one of the founders of the
paper , now a distinguished architect ,
has drawn the plans In the style of
Dutch renaissance. Molded brick , inul-
lloncd windows and n tiled roof wltb
two towers g lve the building n quaint ,
distinction from other college struc
tures. This striking clubhouse , which
Is to be Hanked with Lombardy pop
lars , will , however , harmonize nrtls * .
tlcally with Its surroundings.
One of the features will be the tow =
er containing the Ibis nest , an exclu
sive apartment for the president oC-
the board of editors. The Ibis Is tt\
wise bird which Interjects remarks Inu
the ' of the " the "
O'alogue "By Way" col
umn , which Is a perennial feature of *
the Lampoon humor. Professor Bar
ret Wendell , ' 77. when an editor of the
Lampoon , originated the this as a fea
ture of the paper , the sagacious bird
being used as was the dog In the Eng
lish Punch.
The nest Is In the western tower am
from a balcony overlooks the big ban
queting hall. Lampoon dinners will
undoubtedly in the future be as fa
mous ns those of the past , because the *
new building will have special kitch
ens and halls for the purpose. There
Is also to be a large hall for Lampoon
celebrations.
That Mr. Wheelwright should bo the ?
architect Is especially fitting , since ho
was not only on the first board of edi
tors , but also designed the cover piece ?
for the original issue , which has be
come a trademark.
"Lampy" was born In the minds of
Ralph Wormeley Curtis. ' 70. and his
classmate. John T. Wheelwright , who
while attending a course of lectures on
the Quo arts given by the late Charles
Eliot Norton conceived the Idea of
producing a "college Punch. " The first
number was Issued Feb. 10 , 1870.
