The bargain was about to bo can celed when the boy volunteered to get the shilling changed Into pence. "But , " said the gent , "perhaps you will not return with the 11 pence. " The boy's face wore nn Injured look. "If you are afraid to trust me , sir , " Bald he , and there \vns the least trace of emotion In his voice , "you can have the other eleven copies ns security. " Something suspiciously like moisture came Into the old man's eyes ns he glanced Into the bright , open counte nance of the boy , and he felt heartily ashamed of himself as ho mechanically held out his hand for the remaining eleven copies. Ho watched the little fellow nn he trotted down the platform till ho sailed round a corner and was lost to sight. Fifteen seconds later the engine gave final shriek , and the train slowly glided out of the station. The man glanced round nt his fellow passengers and handed n copy of the paper to each one from his pile. Ilo said nothing , but ho seemed to be thinking. London Tit-Bits. NATURE AS A CHEMIST.

Turkey , which wan recently the ficeiie of nn uprising against the Young Turk * party , Is at the beginning of her first serious attempt at popular gov ernment. A constitution wns grunted the country July 2-1 , 11)08 ) , hy the sul tan , under the terms of which elec- tloiiH for n parliament were hold. Thu new legislature was Inaugurated Dec 17. Since then the empire ban been under constitutional administration. The hand of the sultan was forced , and he was obliged to give the country a constitution , by the Young Turks , who hnd been partlculnrly active under dor the leadership of the committee of union nnd progress Mnce 1005. The co-oiwrntlon of the army wns obtained by means of a succe-ssful secret propa ganda , and had not the sultan given way when he did two army corps would have marched on Constantine ple. ple.The The granting of the constitution wan followed by tlio dismissal or flight ol various members of the palace faction and the Installation of olllclals dictated by the successful Insurgents. Since the first days of Its success the course of the committee of union and prog has been dictatorial , nnd the po litical nctivltics of the Young Turks , particularly In the direction of admin Istrntlve control , hnvo aroused a tor political sentiment which has talllzcd the opposition of the Liberals. The present grand vizier of Turkey is Illlinl Pasha , who was appointed Feb. 1 i in succession to K lain 11 Pasha Illlml Pashn wns formerly minister ol the Interior nnd before thnt served nt Inspector general of Macedonia. Alt Rlzn Pasha is nilml Pnshn's minister of wnr. lie holds nlso the marine portfolio and Is grand mnster of artil lery. These and the other changes In the cabinet which took place in Feb ruary showed the control by the Young Turks party , which virtually Imposed on the sultan a ministry of Us own nominees. The Young Turks on Feb. 44 public ly repudiated any Intention to over throw the sultan or to Install n mili tary dictatorship , but the crisis and Its outcome were then regarded ns not promising well for the stability of the throne or the success of the parlia mentary government. The committee of union nnd progress consistently op posed Klnrnll Pnsha , Hllml Pasha's predecessor. It suspected him of be ing too considerate of pnlnce Influ ences nnd complained of his slowness In conducting the negotiations with Austria-Hungary nnd Bulgnrln. The Young Turks have fallen in the estimation of many Turks in the Unit ed States , nnd the present ipovement Is looked upon as quietly prcsnglng the overthrow of thnt dictatorial party. It Is declared thnt despotism exists In Constantinople under the now oreler sis grent , if not greater , than ever before. The feeling wns expressed by N Moknrzel , editor of the AI Iloeln , daily newspaper of New York : "Armenians , Syrians , Mohammedans these people hnvo no show. The Young Turks hnvo granted no consid eration to the Christian element of the empire. They have become despotic. The only difference Is that where once wo bad to deal with only one despot now wo hnvo n society of them. " ATTRACTIVE TRIFLES. Dainty Accessories For the Summe Qlrl'o Costume Ribbon Hint.
