... .' Z ' - ... A LITTLE MAN. ? A Tittle man dwelt in a little town A little over twenty years ago; He sained a little portion of renown Within the little crowd he used to know, He wed a little maid when twenty-one, And later on they had a little son. This little man had little to regret, He had but little patience with tlie weak. When others fell his eyes were never wet, With sinners he had little time to speak. Instead, he went to church a little late And dropped a little nickel in the plate. He drank a little coffee now and then, But little stronger liquid passed his lips; He mingled little with Bohemian men; Life's wine he drank in stingy little sips. When stragglers came to him for food or { bed. With little pain he shook his little head. He made a little fortune rapidly By grinding labor out of little arms, And by foreclosing a variety Of little mortgages on little farms. He died?and, neath the weeping willow bough, A little worm is workins: on him now. ?William F. Kirk, in Milwaukee Sentinel. gp.f ~ . I WHEN THE CRACKERS jf LAY OYER. HE four boys who packed jT" the barrels of crackers in G *1^ o Bonney's bakery gathered % K about the foreman, Frank Morse, as he examined the fresh baking that had come up by the elevator from the basement oven. "All slack baked!" was Morse's distyy gusted comment '"They'll have to lie over till to-morrow, and that means you boys will have to get here early to pacK. ivoimng more ior you 10 uo uow. :; You may go home." |||g;i Roy Delano lingered, p. ,l: "How early in the morning, Mr. Morse?" he asked. "Oh, don't get here before 3.30," the v foreman answered. He meant to be ? jocular, and the other boys, hearing the / reply, grinned. They knew that 6 jfe. o'clock would be early enough. But Boy was a pew hand, and took the! foreman's remark literally. The next morning at 3.25 he was hurrying to his ijwork. There was a faint glow from the! flour incrusted basement windows Showing that the night bakers had not yet left the building. Above, in the packing room, all was dark. The front door was, of course, locked, and Boy went round to the side door, opening into the basement. The stairs ascending to the packing room rose in front of this door, and Roy had to go round them in order to see the bakers, .who were putting on their coats in front of the brick ovens and getting ready to go home. "Has Mr. Morse come yet?" he asked. , "No," said one of the men. "He's never here when we leave. I don't ., know Just what time he does come." "I guess he'll be here before long," anv ??i<1 "heeanse of the crackers that had to lie over." j "You'll be all alone for a while, anyway," the baker told him. When the men had gone Roy looked about the long basement, which seemed to him strangely quiet. White j? bread was rising in covered troughs; brown loaves were slowly baking in the brick ovens. The warmth and the * crisp, sweet smell of the place were pleasant after the wintry air, and Roy had not worked so long in the bakery &"teat his senses were sluggish in receiving such impressions. The great cracker oven in which the ' - "lay-overs" were resting filled one side ef the basement, and rose above the floor of the packing room overhead. It ||* .was, in fact, a brick vault?shaped like a beehive?inside a brick building. ; Roy thought of opening the door and taking a look at the crackers, but then V decided that this was none of his busi|v " ness. It occurred to him, however, j that he might find something to do in the packing room while awaiting the arrival 01 ine ioreman, anu. ue iuerefore plodded up the stairs, making little noise in his rubber overshoes, c- The room was chilly?at least by comparison with the basement?and Roy crossed to the iron door in the brick work of the cracker oven. This ,was set flush with the ffoor, and was used when it was necessary to make repairs on the machinery. Behind it revolved vertically the great oven wheel, which was fitted with swinging urv shelves, that carried the crackers during the baking. The machinery that propelled the K Wheel was now, of course, disconnected, and although there had been no fire under the oven for hours its interior heat was considerable. Roy thereof; Vfore opened the door and lay with his back to the hot air. After a moment he rolled over with ^an adventurous idea of clambering in upon the wheel and exploring the oven. Reaching in he touched one of the swinging shelves, but the wheel yielded under the pressure. It revolved freely, now that the machinery was disconnected, and Roy realized that if he stepped aboard a shelf he would be carried to the bottom of the oven, and be left there with no chance of escape. n fiint cnnnr? /Trcnx* at fc?uu.u.*ruij a iujub u?,v<* ? ? ? tention in the direction of the office, .which adjoined the packing room. The sound was repeated, and Roy, with some wonder and a little suspicion, rose and stole across the room through the darkness. The door into the office proved to be ajar. Pushing it open he saw by the rays of a dim street lamp an obscure figure kneeling in front of the safe. Then the door creaked. The burglar sprang up, whirled round, and seeing the boy rushed at him. Roy dodged and ran, with the burglar pursuing. In front of the oven door the boy dodged again, catching hold of a barrel to make a sharp turn. With a quick thought he gave a jerk to the barrel and sent it spinning on edge behind him. k' C . The burglar stumbled over it in the darkness and fell heavily. Roy turned in time to see the man shoot over the' rolling barrel and half through the doorway. A shadowy pair of legs were still waving wildly in air. With a for-; cible kick on the barrel he sent the| burglar forward into the oven and; down on the swinging shelf. Immediately the wheel turned under; its burden. In another instant it became still, and Roy knew that his man; was safely immured at the bottom of j the vault After a moment he put IlS head into | the oven and called down: "You're not hurt, are you?" The curses which issued from the depths reassured him. The burglar's silence since his rapid descent had evidently been due to amazement and fear. Roy could hear him prowling cau- j tiously about inside, feeling the brick wall, and at last rattling the iron base- ! ment door. It was fast, and then the ; man began to plead for mercy. "Let me out, young feller!" he j begged. "Say, I've got a whole lot of j money I'll give you if you'll only let j me out; honest, I will." "Xo," Roy answered. "I guess you i can lie over with the crackers." The burglar's voice became plaintive: , "Ah, go on, let me out. Yon don't | want to ruin a man for life. Say, hon- I est, it's the first time I ever done such a thing. I was drove to it by my wife \ and babies starvin'." "You said you had a lot of money | you would give me," Roy reminded ( him. Then the man broke out cursing again, and Roy slammed the door. The cursing subsided, and before long Roy heard a faint and frightened voice petitioning: ? ^.11 - ? f "Let me speak to you, young leuer; i Open the door!" The boy obliged his prisoner to this extent, and then the burglar said: "You ain't cruel enough to keep a man down here. I'll be baked alive." "There's no fire under the oven," Roy told him, "and I'll see they don't light up till after the police get you. Don't be uneasy. Now I've got to close the door or the crackers will get spoiled." For the remainder of the night he was deaf to the entreaties that from i time to time wailed up from the interior of the vault. At last, in the early morning light, the foreman and other packers came, and Roy announced his capture. "He must have slipped in at the side door and got up the stairs when the bakers weren't looking," the boy said. "And I suppose he didn't hear me because I had on overshoes, and the office door was pretty nearly shut. He didn't get into the safe." ^1- - * Urtxr ttm+H O /?_ J.Lie iureinaii luuncu ai xwj miu ?.v. i miration. "Boy," he said, "you've done ! a good night's work. And yon got here at 3.30, eh? Well, it certainly is the early bird that catches the burglar." One of the other boys was for lighting a small fire under the oven, "just to singe him," but the foreman said no, and telephoned to police headquarters. Five minutes later the chief and one of his men arrived, and when the oven door was opened, and the prisoner crawled sulkily forth to have the "bracelets" snapped on his wrists, the officers gave a cry of delight. "Slim Jim McLean!" erclaimed the chief. "You'd never have got me!" said Slim Jim, visiously. Then he took a malevolent look at the four boys. "I don't know which one of you young fellers it was, but when I get out I'll make , one of you pay for this!" The chief laughed. "I guess you're ! safe for about twenty years. Roy." he said, "and by that time you'll be able to raise chin whiskers and disguise yourself."?Youth's Companion. A Stepmother. seir-sacnnce 01 a simpie, uumeij sun . may be nobler than more romantic he- j roism. That is why V. CM an English i paper, puts under tales of heroism j this story of a stepmother. A Perth- j shire farmer lost his wife when his child was born. Two years later he married her cousin. In course of time they had a son, and Helen, the second wife, proved a most devoted Stepmother. It was decided that both lads should study for the ministry. When they; , were about to leave school, however, j the farmer had some severe losses.' Both boys were in the same class, as the elder one's studies had been delayed owing to bad health, and it had been settled that they should go together to the university. But now, j owing to lack of money, the farmer de- j cided that only one could go to college; the other must stay and work on the farm. The question was, which was j to go? ! Man like, he placed the responsibility of the decision on his wife's shoulders. They were both his sons, and he had no strong feeling in the matter. Helen, his wife, had a hard struggle.

Advices received in Panama Saturday from Cartegena stated that the Colombian cruisers General Pinzon and Cartagena had landed 400 men tender Generals Bustamente and Ortiz at Cape Toburon, at the mouth of the Atrato river, with the object of cutting paths across the mountains to enable the Colombian troops to invade Panama. According to these advices there is at Cartagena a standing army of 10,000 men. The state department has teen informed that final steps have been taken for the formation of a permanent republican form of government in Panama. The news came in a dispatch from Consul Genera! Gudger, dated Panama Saturday, as follows: "Election for constitutional convention called for January 4. The convention meets January 20." This action is taken, it is believed, to meet suggestions from Panamans here that criticisms of the new republic would be larselv disarmed and the status of the new treaty improved if j the final ratifications would be exchanged by the United States with a permanent and regular form of government on the isthmus. The territory of Panama is so small that, according to the belief here, the elections can be completed within a week after the date named?January 4. The convention is expected to follow generally the outlines of the Cuban constitution, which is regarded as the most modern and the complete model of such documents. Buchanan Minister to Panama. The president has selected W. T. Buchanan, of New York, to be the first 7 United States minister to Panama. Mr. Buchanan's selection was brought about by a desire on the part of the president to secure temporarily, at least, and during the crystallization of the relations between the United States and Panama, the services of a trusted and experienced diplomatic representative, having special reference to his knowledge of the Latin service as minister to tne Argentine republic, Mr. Buchanap fills that description, in the estimation of the state department. The new minister was originally from Ohio, and represented the state as an agriculturist at the world's fair at Chicago. He was appointed by President Cleveland United States minister to Buenos Ayres. His record at that point was so satisfactory that President McKinley continued him at his post for several years after his succession to office. Alleged Colombian Invasion. The navy department has received a cablegram from Rear Admiral Glaas, announcing that he is maikng every effort to run down the various reports regarding Colombian expeditions to the isthmus. He has ordered the Mayflower to the mouth of the Atrota river to make a thorough investigation and a reconnoissance o fthat region will be made to definitely ascertain as to whether there are any Colombian troops in that section. Reyes Chosen President The Colombian legation at Washington received a cableeram Saturday night from General De Castro, commander in chief of the Colombian army, dated Fort Ufmon. Costa Rica, conveying the information that the results of the elect'on for president, held throughout Colombia on December 8. show.? a complete triumph for General Re^es.

"I came to Washington a republican. and I am going away a republican, but I intend also to remain a gentleman," said Judge Robinson, republican national committeeman from North Carolina, as he drew his overcoat over his dress suit and left the Arlington hotel in Washington Saturday night. | He left just after the guests of Senator Hanna had assembled in the banquet room of the Arlington. He was to have been one of those guests, but he preferred to have his absence from that festal board chronicled. Senator Hanna's dinner was given to the members of the republican national committee. One member of tnat committee is a coiorea man, juason Lyons, the member from Georgia, who is register of the treasury. It was because of the presence of LyoDs that Judge Robinson declined to grace the occasion with his presence. He would not discuss his declination at any length with the Atlanta Constitution's special correspondent, preferring to stand on the explanation contained in the brief statement quoted above. He is an active republican and as such has, of course, had dealings with negroes in a business and political way, but he refused to let this go to the extent of social intercourse of this character, even in view of the example set at the white house. He expressly wanted it understood that he was making no grandstand play of any kind, but he simply absented himself, and for the reason stated.

Clay King died a few days ago in the Tennessee state penitentiary, where, since August 11, 1899, he had been serving a life sentence for the murder of Attorney David H.

In the circuit court at Aiken, when the case of Edwards against the Southern railway, brought under the new state act preventing The absorption of competing lines by railroads was called for hearing, the attorney for the plaintiff, Claude E. Sawyer, having failed to convince Special Judge W. C. Benet that the' case should be continued on ordinarv grounds, proceeded upon lines very unusual in the jurisprudence or this state. Mr. Sawyer stated to the court that he regretted very much to do so, but respectfully submitted that under the spirit of an article of the constitution which he quoted,"It would not De seemly for one to sit in judgment in a case in which one party, be that party an individual or corporation, had the acting judge as an attorney 1n another case." He then proceeded to read air affidavit from the clerk of court of Richland county, showing that at the present time Judge Benet was on the records as counsel tor the Southern railway in a case pending in that county. Judge Benet, who was for a number of years one of the most impartial and efficient regular judges on the circuit bench, proceeded at some length in reply to analyze the provision of the constitution showing clearly that it was his absolute right to sit in this case, and then said: "Now, this is another matter; and I am frank to say that having sat in the, circuit courts of the state since the month of September continuously and having had tried before me several cases in which the Southern railway was a party, the fact that I was attor- v " ney of record in one case never entered my mind, and the cases were tried and disposed of with varying success in which the Southern railway was a party. "It was never brought to my attention until this case was called, and if I felt in any degree influenced by the fact that I was an attorney for the railway in that one case the mere sag- . j gestion would at once make, me grant, not a continuance, but decline to near the cause. There is no doubt that courts of justice should be absolutely above suspicion, even if the suspicion be groundless. "I admit ihat I have most reluctant* iy come to the conclusion that though I am not disqualified and although the grounds submitted for a continuance > are not satisfactory, still I do honestly believe that I am acting within the spirit of the law, but the matter having been brought to my attention, not in a very proper manner, I feel that I would be doing the courts of justice of this state an injustice if I continued against the objection of counsel to try this cause. I do this most reluctantly, because I am impressed with } the belief that if plaintiff had been ready for trial his counsel would not have raised this objection." r > ' J/y NAME OF TOWN CHANGED. 1 Erstwhile Municipality of Harmofty Grove, Ga., is Now "Commerce." me nustnng lime cuy 01 narmony Grove, Ga., is a thing cf the past,; so far as her former name is concerned.
