THE REASON WHY. Now glue your eyes upon the man Who prances down the streets With optimistic bow and smile To every one he meets; The suavity he flings abroad Makes all the world feel glad? And even makes the mourner lee; Ashamed lor being sad. He slaps a friend upon the baelq And hones he's feeling fine; He spreads a long continued smile The whole way down the line; He jollies you and laughs with you And calls you "Jones, old chap!" Until vou're bound to swear that he's The "best one on the map." Yes, he is most agreeable. And I suppose that's wh? When he goes home there is no smile, No laughter in his eye; Why his is like the faces seen Above the coffin lids; You see he's smiled so much all da> That none is left to give away To his noor wife and kids! ?Lowell 0. Reese, in San Francisco Bulletin. THE FAILURE OF JUSTICE * I By Edwin J. Webster. Y J Y HE disbanding of the Deep V I ' Gulch Vigilant committee, I after a short and Inglorious career, -was due partly to general circumstances, but more particularly to the treachery and lack of civic pride in the institutions of the camp displayed by Ike Stanton, -whom the committee had marked for its first victim. Even before the day when Ike \ "broke loose" there had been a growing feeling that the camp was too strenuous in its mode of life and that frequent and unprovoked gun playe were driving awry all would-be investors. Ike's behavior strengthened this feeling. He had been too free in the use of his revolver even for Deep Gulch Camp, where the etiquette on this subject could scarcely be called rigid. His performance on the day in question had culminated in forcing a * Btald Eastern tourist, wh:> had strayed Into the camp by some mischance, to I dance a cancan on top of the bar, while Ike, by numerous and wellaimed shots, tried to cut off the rim of the silk hat which had excited his ire. Ordinarily the camp would have looked on this proceeding as a simple and harmless jest. But after the tourist had shaken the dust of the camp from his feet it developed that he had visited the camp with the intention of buying a mine. Then the wrath of the camp bubbled over. "Is that the way to treat a man looking to sink good money in our played-out mines?" inquired Amos Peterkin earnestly of a group of indignant citizens. "Can we expect the moneyed men of this great American nation to hurry toward Deep Gulch Mining Camp when the only inducements offered are to hav? the tops of their silk hats shot off, and to be told that if they don't dance quicker they will lose the tops of their ears? Is that the way to appeal to the bankers of the rich and effete East?" The sentiment of the impromptu * meeting seemed to be that any appeal to wealthv investors which was meant to be effective must be put in a different form. Ike Stanton had struck a blow at the prosperity of the camp. "And Ike being a citizen of the camp will be a good man for the vigilants to practice on," added Amos Peterkln. "If things don't go smoothly it won't be as* bad as If we were beginning with a stranger. If Ike's got any proper pride in the camp, blamed if he ougbin't to be proud of the opportunity. It will give the vigilants a chance to get sort of letter perfect, as that actor chap used to say." But Ike Stanton evidently was lacking in proper pride in the camp and Its institutions. The situation didn't eeem to appeal to him in the least. "Want me for a blamed amateur vigilance committee to practice on!" be fairly roared, bristling with righteous wrath. "Going to use one of the oldest and most respected residents of the camp when they had an extra tourist, who wouldn't have been missed and would have just filled the bill? Well, that's too much for me. I'm going to resign as a citizen of this camp and throw in mv lot with them Biir Snake River fellows." But when a gentleman has been selected as proper material for practice by even an amateur vigilance committee it behooves him to change his place of residence as quickly as may he. Ike Stanton, overcome by his emotions at having been selected for practice purposes, dallied too long, attempting to drown his sorrows and express his indignation. The result was that the vigilance committee was organized and on his trail when he was barely clear of the camp. Ike urged his horse to greater speed. So did the vigilants. Then a chance shot from a rifle brought down his horse. Ike knew the game was up and philosophically seated himself by the roadside to await the arrival of the committee. He realized that further efforts to escape would only mean a shower of wellaimed bullets. When the vigilants reached him the I list of his offenses, beginning with the time he held up a crowd in a gambling house and endinjr with the misplaced gayety which had driven an investor with money from the camp, was recited. The unanimous sentiment of the committee was that hanging was the only thing which would square Ike Stanton's account with the outraged proprieties of Deep Gulch Camp. Ike's arms were bound and he was led to a uear-by tree. There a rope was prepared. Up to this time Ike had watched proceedings with languid contempt. Now his scorn bubbled over. "I don't mind the boys stringing me up." he said in deep disdain and looki. ing straight-at Amos Peterkin, "but I do object to having these last sad formalities conducted under the leadcrf, ship of a blamed Eastern tenderfoot mud turtle." Had Ike simply swcrn at Amos or abused him in ordinary Western parlance, that worthy would have passed over his remarks in silent contempt. A man about to be lynched has special * privileges of speech. But to be called I' a "blamed Eastern tenderfoot and turI tie!" That was enough to jar the sen eibilities of the best-natured leader of N a vigilance committee. Amos drew his revolver. "Very brave about drawing a gun on a ruan whjse bands are tied," cneered Ike. again repeating his remarks apropos of tenderfoot and mud turtles. "But if th^se ropes were off and you stood up in front of me I'd change your ugly face, so that even the mud tnrtlps would be ashamed of you." Ainos promptly signified liis willingness to accept this challenge. Ike was untied. But he still was unsatisfied. "If this thing is going to be done at all," he said earnestly, "for the reputation of the camp I want it done right. It's the first prize fight and the first lynching. With me any little breaks don't matter. But you want the details right so that if you try it on a stranger you won't make a laughing stock of the camp." Under the direction of Ik? the arrangements demanded by strict etiquette were made. A ring was cleared, seconds chosen, a timekeeper selected. The members of the vigilance committee beamed with approval of Ike's proper spirit as they worked. Here was a man whom it was a pleasure and an honor to hang, a man who had the credit of the camp at heart and would spare no pains to make the I Tlioro wfis Tin thoiltrht aiiaii" a suwcco. 0? of trea ciiery. But suddenly, while the members of the committee were occupied with arrangements for the coming fistic contest, Ike sprang to one side and seized a pair of revolvers which had been laid aside by a busy vigilant. Before the rest realized what had happened he had th^ crowd covered. Then came the command to "Put up hands!" One man was just a little slow. A bullet shattered his arm. That ended unnecessary delays by the rest. Holding the committee under cover of his revolvers, Ike Stanton marched them to a considerable distance from their horses. Then he backed up to the horses, picked out the fleetest one, and a second later was fleeing over the hills. The vigilance committee then rushed for their mounts, but the start gained by the treacherous Ike was too great to be overcome. "And there was a man," said Amos Peterkin bitterly, after the return to camp, "whom we'd always given the best of treatment and were preparing to send off in good style. And look at the way he played on the boys. Treacherous! Why, a rattlesnake Is an open-hearted, Christian gentleman I romnnred with that Ike Stanton."? New York Times. "Neglected Education" Schools. *' An odd feature of metropolitan life are the schools for men and women' whose education has been neglected in youth. There are dozens of them between Fourteenth and Fifty-ninth streets, on both the east and west sides, open for both day and night tuition, and most of them make a living for the Principals. The rates for tuition range from $2 to 54 a week, according to the individual attention required as distinct from the regular classes. A superannuated school Principal who conducts one of these establishments says they are patronized by men and women of all ages and circumstances, who are either too proud or for some reason are unable to attend the public night schools. Only a small proportion of the pupils, he says, are from the rural districts, where school kept open only about four months in the year when they were boys and girls. The majority are New York born or were brought here when they were children and have grown up in city life. Either the schools were too crowaeu ior mem ur uiej wric umcii away in early childhood to contribute to the support of the family. They had 110 time to study while they were get- J ting a firm hold in life, but age and experience made them ashamed of their ignorance. Most of them can read and write, but that is about all. At the | "neglected education" schools they have privacy. In a few months they know as much as the scholars in the middle grades of the public schools, and they are very proud of it.?New York Times. Longest raved Street. City engineers in the various departments have become involved during the last two weeks in a discussion as to whether New York City has the longest continuously paved street of any city in the United States. Some engineers said that Broad street, Philadelphia, held the record, and others that Delaware avenue, in Buffalo,-leading out to Tonawanda, was the longest continuously paved street in the country. Some people think that Broadway is the longest street in the United States continuously paved," 6aid Engineer N. P. Lewis, of the Board of Estimate. From the standpoint of length Broadway is one of the longest streets since the names of sections in the Bronx have been changed. Broadway at the present time extends from the Battery to the city line. There is a break in the pavement of about half a mile. In a few years the breaks in the pavement will be filled in, and then there can be no discussion as to New York's right to claim the longest continuously paved street in this country. New York will then have a street fifteen miles in length through fhe boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx up to the city line. Broadway became the longest street in the country by the change in the name of the Boulevard to Broadway and also the change in the name of King's Bridge Road to Broadway."?New York Times. When Tall People Are Horn. Investigations made in Europe and the United States are said to have completely established the fact that the time of the year at which children are born has a marked influence on their stature. Boys born in November are generally the shortest, and those who first see the light in July are the tallest. Taking an average, male c-hil-! dren who come into the world In the j autumn or winter do not grow so tall j as those born at other seasons. As for 1 girls, the tallest are those born In August, and the shortest those whose birthdays are in January. Spring and winter are the seasons of short stature for the gentler sex, and autumn is, favorable to height. 4 The Fool's Progress.

The very pretty and attractive misses' tucked shirred "waist. May Manton design shown combines the broad shouldered effect with the sliirrings at the waist line, which give the effect of a belt, and is as new as it is attractive. As illustrated it is made of white mull with a yoke of lace, but soft wool and silk fabrics are appropriate, as well as the cotton and linen ones. Tne waisi is maue over a uutu foundation -which closes with it at the back. The yoke is faced onto the lining, and the waist proper is shirred and arranged over it. The sleeves are shirred at their upper portions to form continuous lines with the waist, and again between the shoulders and the elbows. They can be made in elbow ! length, as illustrated, or in the long bishop style, as shown in the small cut. If a transparent effect is desired the lining can be cut away beneath the yoke and beneath the full portions of the sleeves. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and one-fourth yards twenty-seven inches wide, three yards thirty-two inches wide, or two and one-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with five-eighth yards of all over lace. a? Woman's Bain Coat. Every woman knows the comfort of a coat that completely covers and protects the gown in stormy weather. A STILISH I ? The very stylish May Manton one shown in the large drawing is adapted to heavy and to light weight cloth as best suits the season, but is shown in tan colored cravenette in medium .width stitched with corticelll silk. It is simple and loose fitting at the same time that it is smart, and allows of wearing over the jacket when occasion requires. The sleeves are large and ample and can be drawn on and off with ease. In each front is inserted a convenient pocket and a concealed opening is made at the seam. The coat Is made with fronts and back and is fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams. The fronts are faced to form lapels and the neck Is finished with the regulation coat col lar. The sleeves are in iuji uisuop style with roll over cuffs. The loose , back is confined to the waist by a belt that passes through the under-arm seams and closes under the fronts, but which may be worn over them if so preferred. The quantity ci material required for the medium size is five nnd onehalf yards forty-four inches wide, or four and seven-eighth yards fifty-four Inches wide. Millinery Novelty. For fair ones who found the old Euglish walking hat very becoming tlie new boat-shaped hat is the thing. Its linps nip rnlliner irrncpftil ns sea billows, and it turns up on botli sides. An exceedingly smart example from Susanne Blum is of the finest and richest black straw. It is faced with burnt Cluny. which is caught down, or studded, with black straw nail heads. The only trimming is at the left side, where two ostrich plumes curl along the brim and droop over the hair. One is of black, and one of champagne i color. The black one Is over the light I one two-thirds its length, and its quill is hidden in a pleated and rolled how ] of black taffeta, which extends quite to the edge of the front brim. A Beautiful Bodice. A delightful bodice for a young girl UJL xruuu iuunecu tv.* 01 aiccu jcaio vi age is developed In crepe de chine of the palest blue, -with a bolero and cuffs of Paraguay lace. The front of the waist is finely tucked, and so are the sleeves, except at the elbows, where they balloon out into a full puff. The lace i9 carried down the sleeves for about two inches on each side of the : under-seam, and is laced with blue silk cord and tassels half way down to the elbow, to match the bolero, which is fastened half way down the front in similar fashion. The Lace Head-Piece. No English woman of quality who dons a tea gown nowadays considers her toilet complete unless she has tied a piece of lace around her head. The fashion began in country houses, and [ now both town and country are doing j it. They say the lace is so becoming. By good rights .the lace should be old and real, but as many a woman has none of this description to boast of, any lace, provided it is sheer and dainty, is pressed into service. A New Pique Waist. A white pique waist has been madb in rather an unusual way. Fancy bands of heavy cream lace are in the front, and it has trimming of embroidery in a deep cream shade. The sleeves show no lace, but there is a small point of it on the front of the stock. The tops of the sleeves have the cream embroidery. Coral Collars." Wide collars of many rows of coral toads are enriched with a central plaque and slides of brilliants. Black Straw In Favor. Black straw will be used profusely, and threatens to take the place of white entirely. Woman'a Gnlrope.

In the discussion of excise matters caused by the enactment of a higher license law it is generally agreed that while it entails hardship upon individuals, every legitimate need of the community can be met and every taste of the consumer satisfied by fewer saloons. In proportion to population the number is likely to decline in the future. The barring of business success to the drinking man is one of the weightiest causes in the decline of drunkenness. Mr. John Graham Brooks has pointed out that the railroad companies are out greatest single influence for temperance. They employ more than a million men, for all of whom known drunkenness means dismissal, and to a large proportion of whom saloon visiting is forbidden. Here are seven per cent, of the adult males of the country practically pledged to abstinence. Another cause which will greatly limit the saloon area and influence is the number of suburban "parks" and cottage groups being developed by private capital, wherein the deeds of all property sold carry covenants against "nuisances" for from ten to fifty years. In the eyes of the real estate man the saloon is the greatest of nuisances. He may himself like an occasional drink, but he will not let it be sold on his own land. A million New Yorkers will soon be living upon land where no salqon can be main tamea. Ana propinquity poweriuuy auecis habit. The swinging sign of the saloon suggests thirst; its absence means sobriety. The average man "won't travel far for 3 drinlc. In time the influence of "restricted" areas must be reflected in the choicer residence sections which are not restructed. Purely as a business matter, future municipal managers will inquire why any saloon should be permitted in a residence section, where its inevitable effect is to depreciatp property all about it. The money derived from the license, were it twice as much, cannot comnensate for the loss in taxable values. Is it eood policy for a city thus to cheapen itself? These arc some but by no means all of the considerations which will limit the devastations of drink in futtfre. And it is to be noted that they are operating for sobriety with greatest force at a time when every New Eneland State but one has given up the attemDt to make men sober by statute.?New York World. A Biff Factor in Making Drunkard*. It is a mistake to suppose that men alone are addicted to drink. For obvious reasons a drunken woman is rarely seen in the streets, but the homes of the people might tell a different tale. As to the habits of the wretchedly poor I can speak out of a four years' experience as a missionary among tnem. A Bible visitor in one of the slum districts of New York said to me recently: "I don't think I know a man or woman in my district who doesn't drink." But the poor are not the only offenders Ask the physicians of our city, and, undei pledge of confidence, -they will intimate that there are skeletons in the closets oi many aristocratic homes. In my judgment the responsibility rests largely on husbands and fathers, who have encouraged the habit by having wine or their tnble9. The only remedy is total abstinence. There are no drunkards, rrfale or female, except such as are recruited from the ranks of the moderate drinkers. The heads of families, in particular, should see the reasonableness of the rule "Touch not, taste not, handle not."?Bv the Rev. Dr. David J. Burrell.

This discharge of mucus is the same as the loss of blood. It produces weakness. ?
