"NO BEGGARS OR PEDDLERS AL
LOWED." '
BT S. W. POS8.
"No beggars or peddlers allowed in here !
If I were a rich man, and King of the mart,
I wouldn't have that phrase on my doorposts
appear.
To notify men of my hardness of heart
If I were a rich man, a beggar would be
That man, of all others, my notice to court ;
The oae wreck, to whom, in my son-lighted sea,
To throw out ray tow-line, aad drag into port.
And the peddler, I'd feel be and I were a pair ;
For bow does a peddler differ from me?
From me, with my warehouses towering in
air?
I'm a peddler myself slightly larger than he.
All merchants are peddlers, who barter and
strain,
Some with stores for their goods, some with
goods on their backs ;
All hucksters and hawkers, all crying for gain,
And differing only in size of their packs.
If I were a big peddler, peddling my wares
From a two-acre storehouse, five stories high,
I wouldn't kick the small peddhr over my
stairs.
For, perchance, ho's as honest a peddler aa I.

CELESTE LE CLERE'S ES
CAPE. IY KIXA GUERNSEY.
"The coldest day of the season," said
strong men, as they buttoned closely
about them their overcoats and fastened
securely the fur collars. The snow fell
in icy flakes that made the chesks of
those exposed to the tho fury of the
storm tingle and ache from cold.
It was upon a niucu-nsed street that
Mr. Howard Le Clere'H handsome house
was built, and in the second story two
young girls sat looking and laughing at
the comical appearance of the different
passers-by.
"Just look, Maude," said Celest Le
Clero, "there is Walter Lathrop. Sup
pose we bow to him?" And the girls
nodded their heads in recognition
of the handsome gentleman, who bowed
in return with the grace of a Chester
field. "I must say, Celeste, I almost envy
you, as Mr. Lathrop is evidently your
devoted admirer; but I don't know that
I do, when I recall the bad stories that
are told of him. They say he has a
wife somewhere, and that he deserted
her because her father became poor. I
hope he is nothing to you."
Poor pretty Celeste blushed scarlet,
murmured something about Walter be
ing misunderstood," then called
Maudes attention to the silks and fancy
goods that were strewn upon couches,
chairs and the carpet.
The girls were preparing for a fancy
dress ball, and chattered as freely as if
the silent, shy little dressmaker in the
next room had been a lay figure.
Celeste's room was hung in pale blue
satin; the carpet and curtains were of
the same hue, and all was in harmony.
The toilet table was laden with silver
and crystal perfume bottles, while vases
of roses and camclias made fragrant the
beautiful apartment.
"Oh, Celeste, what a fortunate girl
you arc to have such an elegant home,
plenty of pin money, and a kind good
father! J shall adviso you to think
twice before you wed and leave him."
Celeste stooped to hide her burning
face, and the photograph of handsome
Walter Lathrop fell from tho folds of
her dress.
"Oh, Celeste, how could you hide
this from me? Aud it is inscribed,
'Ever your own, own Walter.' Oh,
Celeste, I fear for you. I know your
father will not permit him to call here;
do not see him again. Only thi3 week
I have heard such bad things about
him. I used to admire him, but do not
now," said Maude, earnestly.
"I will not hear such things of Wal
ter. Ho was married once, but his wife'
died. He told me how miserable he
was with her. You may regret your
warning some time. Have a care and
choose your words, dear Maide.""
"Well, promise me not to &ee him
unless your father knows," pleaded
Maude.
"I will promise nothing; erhaps
jealousy makes you so anxious about
me. I remember some one who used
to rave over Walters dark eyes and
stately air.'
"Celeste, you do not mean that; let
us not part in anger, but kiss and make
up, as the children say."
Soon after Maude took an affectionate
leave of her friend.
Celeste went into the sewing-room;
there sat the seamstress, deadly pale,
her hand pressed tightly ujnm her
heart and a look of woe in her dark
broTn eyes.
. "Oh. what is it, Mrs. Walton? Can
I get you anything?' asked the kind
hearted girl.
"No, thank you, MissLeCIere; you
cannot help me. Oh, I want to tell her,
if I only dared!" said Mrs. Walton, as
Celeste left the room.
A few moments later Celeste was fly
ing down the street, through the storm,
looking pretty enough, in her bine vel
vet walking suit, to distract the heart
of any masculine. She glanced about
as if looking for some one, then made
her way through the crowd of ladies
that frequented a fashionable restau
rant, to a table hidden beneath the
curtains of maroon plush.
"And have yon really come, my own
darling? I have been here ages, yet I
f :aredyou could not get away from
home. And how is my darling? asked
the handsome original of the photo
graph that Celeste guarded so carefully.
For half an hour the lovers sat undis
turbed; then the crowd became so press- j
ing that they could no longer keep their
secluded nook.
"I hate to see you go home unattended
through the storm, but your father has
an intense dislike for me. I am sorry
Miss Maude has turned against me; she
used to be sweet enough to me, but I
always preferred your blue eyes to her
bold black ones. Is your friend in
clined to be jealous ?" asked Mr. Lathrop,
with a shrug and a grimace that inti
mated much that he did not say.
"Oh, no! Maude is too noble for
that?" said Celeste, eagerly.
"Perhaps, replied Walter, with an
other shrug. ."But remember, Celeste,
we must be married to-morrow night.
Your father will not cast off bis 'mither
less bairn' for marrying the man she
love3, whose only crime was poverty.
To-morrow night at eight come here, do
not tell any one, and beware of Miss
Maude Leigh.'
Celeste ran home, stumbling at the
threshold over her father.
"Ok,- pap, X did sot kr
"Yon did not know what, daughter?
said Mr. Le Clere, eying her keenly.
"Celeste, the carriage is at your serv
ice; use it hereafter ;do not walk in such
a snow storm." c
Celeste ran to her room and bathed
in ice- water the crimson cheeks; but
flame they would.
"How can I meet papa's eye? But
he does not understand Walter as I do
my handsome lover!" said she, as she
kissed the picture before- putting it in
the cabinet.
The next morning a servant brought
her a message from Mrs. Walton ; she
asked to see her on urgent business, be
ing too ill to come to her work.
Celoste ordered the carriage and
drove to the mean, dirty street Mrs.
Walton called home. Bidding the.
driver wait, she toiled np the broken
stairs leading to her room.
Mrs. Walton lay upon a couch of
faded damask. Two children, with
beautiful eyes and hair, hung over her
caressingly.
"I sent for you, Miss LeClcre, to save
you from much sorrow; I know I shall
pain you by my story, but you must
know. I heard what Miss Leigh said
to you about Mr. Lathrop. I
wanted to speak then and there, but
did not dare. I am tho deserted wife,
but not a divorced one, of Walter La
throp; these aro his children; here is
the marriage certificate; yonder is his
photograph;" and the weak, wronged
wife burst into tears. "
Celeste went to look at ihe picture.
Yes, it was the same, only younger and
handsomer, and inscribed: "To my
dear wife, Lulu "Walton."
"Yes," said Mrs. Walton, as soon bs
hio could speak, "Walton is his rea
name. We were playmates in youth.
He married me when I was a happy
girl, and was ever kiud until papa lost
his money. His love seemed to wane
then; when papa died he left me poor
and alone. Only last week did I
learn where ho was. .Do not despise
me; but I could not rest until I knew
the truth, and I fear my days are num
bered here."
Celeste stood white and trembling.
"Despise you? No, I bless you, and
yon shall never want while I lire!'
'She left the poor abode and drove
home.
"A fine bonfire these will make,"
said the angry litt'e lady, as she
threw into the grate the cream tinted
love notes, photograph of Mr: Lathrop,
alias Walton, also the withered flowers
of numerous bouquets. "And now
papa must never know how near I came
to bringing reproach upon his name. A
doubly dutiful daughter I mean to be
after this."
Walter Lathrop sat and waited hours
for his bride. At last he dismissed the
coachman and clergyman, and feeling
that he could remain in the city no
longer, shook the dust of the place from
his feet, leaving numerous tailors . to
mourn his departure.
He wonders what happened. "If
Maude Leigh interfered; or could it be
that tho girl was deep enough to pur
posely mislead him ?" And ho gnaws
his handsome mustache savagely,
and wishs he could know the truth.
Celeste is as happy as the day is long,
and tenderly cares for her friond Lulu
Walton and the little daughter of tho
heartless father who left them in their
helplessness and poverty to the tender
mercies of a pitiless world.
Celeste dreams no more of handsome,
dark eyed, itately lovers whom she
knows nothing about, but there is a
stalwart, hazel eyed young man who
has loved her from the time sho pulled
his hair, and made him trot her to
'Banbury Cross,' that she does love
and trust, with all her heart, yet the
expressions of love iu tho foolish letters
I she wrote to Lulu Walton's husband i3
the one bitter drop in her cup of happi
ness. Nightly sho prays "God to bless
Lulu Walton, my deliverer."
THE MXSTKKIOUS STRAXOER.
Tho following letter is said to have
been recently sent by a distinguished
artist in the north of Scotland to u
friend of his in Dundee :
"Deak T.: A eiirious fellow turned up
here the other day. with never a eopper or
pouch to hold such an article. He wuMi't
even in rags, but he was. literally without
a rajj to cover himself.
"He either could not or would not pive his
name, and reason lie would not. but kieked
up a bonnie "How-d'ye-do, until, for peace
.kc wo had to provide him with some
clothes-. With difficulty we pot the fellow
clean, and put iu a respectable condition,
then offered him something to eat; but he
pot perfectly furious, and would take noth
ing but drink. I believe the 'sowl' lives on
drink alone. He seems an old fellow, too,
for ho if absolutely bald-headed and per
fectly toothless. Ho gave Mrs. X. a bonnie
fright. I can teli you: and indeed she took
to her bed over the matter, and Dr. Z. has
been in attendance ever since. The doctor
lias hopes f her eventually getting over
her nervous shock, but thinks that wo
should see that the door be properly locked
iu future, and thus prevent such another
unexpected visit. The impudent fellow has
taken up his quarters ever since his ap
pearance here, and so far as.I can see he is
not likely to budge for some time. I hope
you and your wife will come hither as soon
a possible, and advise us what we should
do with the fellow. Yours sincerely, etc."
The receiver of the letter, Mr. T.,
was certainly puzzled at its contents,
and Mtbniitted it to a few friends for
their consideration.
The first one he submitted it to was
a public oftlcial in Dundee, who, after
reading it, said if he was the artist, he
would make short work of the intruder,
and at once hand him over either to the
fiscal or the parochial board
Several others thought that the in
truder was either an escaped lunatic or
a friend on a spree; while a banker, as
also a lawyer, knowing that the artist
excelled in painting trout and their
specie, came to 'the conclusion that,
whoever the intruder was, he must cer
tainly be a queer fish.
Finally, the letter was submitted to
three married ladies, who immediately
came to the conclusion that the gentle
men who attempted to interpret the let
ter were a lot of donkeys, and that the
strange intruder was nothing more nor
less than a baby boy, which the artist's
lady had just presented him with, which
theory turned out to be quite correct.
A cynical man says: "If jou want
to keep a friend never do business with
him. If he takes advantage of you yon
will hate him. If you discover that yon
have missed an opportunity to trick him
you will hate yourself."

STOKE A MAX'S HOUSE IX CHICAGO.
I never in my lifo saw such a place as
Chicago, said L. F. Thomas, of Spring
field, Mass. I am used to New York
City and don't object to having my
socks stole off my feet, provided the
street thieves leave my feet on my
ankle. Let me etell what hnppend a
cousin of mine in the Windy City.
Five years ago he shut up his house in
Chicago. He went abroad for twe
years. Just before returning he wrote
to have his house painted. The house
painting firm to whom ho wrote replied
in about a month, stating they would
like to do tho work if they could find
the house. My cousin hustled home to
Ciiieago and skipped up to his lot.
The lot was there, but the house was
gone. Somebody had actually moved
away the entire building and all that it
contained. The neighbors made no re
monstrance, of course, supposing that
the owner had ordered its removal-.
HE it Alt A FAMILY.
In making final proof before the
United States land office, Judge
Guichard, of Walla Walla, usually
asks, "Have yon r. family?" Most oi
them answer in the affirmative, but the
other day he got hold of a man who
had the biggest family on record.
"Have you a family?" said the Judge,
as he pulled down his vest. "Yes, sir,"
said the man, somewhat confused.
What docs it consist of?" continued
Mr. Guichard. "Well," said the man,
looking up toward the ceiling, so as to
refresh his mind and give a true ac
count, "a wife and twelve children, two
married, a hired man, a gang plough, a
seeder, a Bain wagon and a span of
mules." "That's enough," said the
Judge, with a smile, aud the settler got
iiis final papers without any further
trouble. Portland Oregjonian.

If OMEN OH KEWSPAPEKS.
Sally Joy Watte, the Special Writer aad
Cerreswoadeat, ea Keattae Work.
Not all women will make successful
newspaper woikers, any more than all sjen
will. It is not an easy task, albeit it is
fascinating. It, more nearly than any other
I know, will answer the description given
of woman's work in the old doggerel which
ran,
"Man's work is from sun to sun.
Woman's work is never done."
This is really true of newspaper work. It
is literally never done. Your paper goes
an through everything ; it is printed every
day, and sometimes several times a day, as
in the case of the paper with which I am
connected, tho Boston Herald, which
has eight editions every day. Can you
understand what that means? Something
'fresh and new in every one. The last
incident caught even in its happen
ing, chronicled in white heat, and
pat before the waiting public
before it is two hoars old. Nothing must
escape; every class in the community must
be looked after from the merchant prince
to the rag-picker. Do you realizo what
this requires? Quickness, alertness, and
more than that, if you will let mo coin a
word, aUvcnctss. A readiness to do what
ever may come to you, to turn out an in
teresting story on any subject, to make the
most of trifling incident, in short, to give
value to every piece . of work pat into
your hand to do.
Here, for instance, ib a sample of what
may come to a worker, what has come, in
fact; and it is no exaggeration. Busy on a
"special," as a long article to be ready for
use at any time is calleJ, von are intermpted
by the call from the managing editor's
desk. You answer the summons and find
your superior officer with an open letter in
his hand.
"I have just heard, "he says, "that there
is every likelihood- that Mrs. will be
put on nomination for the school board.
It is to be done suddenly, and isn't gen
erally known. Wo want to be prepared
for the emergency, so will you go out
aud get a sketch ot her to use this
afternoon? Get a full column, more if
you can, and see what her views are on
such and such points," naming them over.
"And, by the way, such a person," naming
some distinguished iudividual, "is to ar
rive this afternoon. Can't yon seo him
and get a little interview? Have it for the
morning. Perhaps you'd better go to the
station to .meet the traiu; and while you're
waiting you might iun into Harmony hall
and see what is going on there."
Well, off you go. To facilitate matters
you take a carriage and go to tho house of
the proposed candidate for school com
mittee. Sho has just gono to seo some
one who is interested iu her nomination,
and off you start after hor. Perhaps you
catch her at this poiut, and perhaps, which
is more likely, you have to follow her ciso
where. You find her, get your points
Bpeedily, back yon go to vour desk, for
mulating your sketch in your miud
meanwhile. It's pretty near lunch
time; bnt there's no time to think of
anything but that sketch; there is a
little over an hour in which to catch the
edition you want, and at least a column to
be written. You lock your door and be
gin. Somebody knocks, and yon keep on
writing; nothing short of the crack of
doom or the managing editor's bell will
stop your pen. You and Time are having
a fine race, and, being a true newspaper
worker, vou win. Hurrah! the last line is
wri ten, five minutes to spare. You carry
the copy to "the desk," there's no time for
blue pencil, and np it goes to the compos
ing room.
And now for a good luncheon. But what
is this? The city editor appears; some
body is ill, an assignment overlooked;
won't you take it, please? There's really
nobody else; everyone is out or busy
"catching the edition." It will take you a
mile in the opposite direction from which
you are to co to capture your "inter
view" that is coming in on the train;
good-by, luncheon. A cup of coffee, or
a plate of soup is hastily swallowed, if
there is that time to spare; if not,
you go without it. You get the
points needed, write them out on your lap
in tho horso cars, then go on to the inter
view, with "Harmony Hall" by way of di
version. Luckily for you there isn't much
going on there a paragraph will dispose
of it so on you t,o. You are in time for
the train, you look about, there's nobody
from any other newspaper there. Your
spirits rise, you've 6cored a point.
In comes the train. Your "inter
view" is amenable, asks you to
drive to the hotel and talk on the
way. It's astonishing how much informa
tion you can get in a very little time. Cor
rect information too, just what your pub
lic wants. And here is a point which I de
sire to give to the would-be newspaper
girl. You are of little value toujour paper
unless the information yon get is perfectly
correct and reliable, and unless you know
aud understand tho points which the pub
lic and the paper not only want to know,
but have the right to know.
Well, you go back with your material
and write out your interview. Perhaps
you think since that is done yon will be at
liberty. It may be that you will; and it
may be also that you will ho asked to go
somewhere iu the evening and write an
account of a lecture, a party, a convention,
a fancy fair or a revival. That is tho news
paper day, and pretty much every day.

That Tired Feeling
flag never been more prevalent or more rrostratlnii
than now. The winter has been mild and nnhealth
fnl, influenza epidemic and fevers havo visited
nearly aU our homes, leavi nt about everybody in a
weak, tired-out, languid condiUon. The usefulness
of Hood's Sarsaparilla is thus made greater than
ever, for it is absolutely unequaled as a building-up,
strengthening medicine. Try it and you wiU realize
its rccuperaUve powers."
Hood's Sarsaparilla
"Hood's Sarxaparilla has renewed ray grip. lam
C5 years of age and was all run own and discour
aged. I have taicn Hood's Sarsaparilla and on
looking myself over find that I am much better, in
fact quite a chap, Ofcourec the medicine will not
discount my rears, but it comes nearer to it than
anything else." Charles B. Long, Shrewsbury,
Mass.
That
Tired Feeling
"Last spring I was completely fagged out. My
strength left me and I felt sick and miserable all the
time, so that I could hardly attend to my business.
I took one bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and it cured
me. There is nothing like it." R. C. Begolt. Editor

Dr. B. 8 Tracy, the registrar of records
of the health departawnt, has submitted
to the board of health a report on the ten
ement house mortality of 1888, supleBaea
tary to a report atade by hist on the samo
subject in June, 1880, says the New York
Medical Record. The doctor says that
since the beginning of 1880 all tenement
houses have been constructed under the
supervision of the health department, and
the construction of rear tenements has not
been permitted. The records show these
things: 1 The death-rate was lower dar
ing 18S8 in hoaBcs standing singly on a lot
than where there were both front and rear
houses. 2. The death-rate in houses built
since 1888 was lower than in houses built
before that time. 3. The death-rate was
remarkably lower in houses built since
1886, both for adults and children,

comes watery,, the nerres feeble, tho counte
nance ghastly, sleep disturbed, and appetite

sequences. There is, however, a known anti
dote to the miasmatic poison, and a certain
safeguard against it. In malarious regions of

The marked benefit which peoplo in run down or
weakened state of health derive from Hood's Sarsa
parilla conclusively proves the claim that this
medicine "makes the weak strong." It does not act
like a stimulant, imparting fictitious strength from
which there must follow a reacUon of greater weak
ness than before, but possessing just thoso ele
ments which the system needs and readily
seizes.
