Y. at si< A Generous Soul. co At a railway station of a certain 5V Alabama town a number of passengers, who were waiting for a train long overdue, had distributed themselves on the platform, their feet 9 hanging thereover. Presently there came along a na- 1 tive, a sour-faced individual, with a rope in his hand. It subsequently 0 transpired that he was looking for a UI stray mule. He came out of the bush j g opposite the station and stood for j o some time looking up and down the j ra tracks. Then he directed his gaze to | !tss the group of waiting passengers on i J the platform with their feet hanging ! over. He regarded them listlessly j ' lor quite a wnue, tnen suddenly ne called out: j. "Hey, there! Yotall!" "What Is it?" demanded some one, ; ^ startled by the sudden cry. I "H'lst your feet!" I m This injunction to "h'lst" was com- j plied with by all with alacrity, for, j as they looked down over the plat- I ? form, they perceived a big rattlesnake just coiling for a strike. * i si handy grindstone was dropped on the In reptile, despatching it, of course, and j one of the men thanked the native ; j for his timely warning. The latter smiled grimly., "I don't | s'pose I deserve much thanks," he ! ^ said, "but some men who have lost a ; mule an' been huntin' for it for three 1 days would have- been kinder onery w 'bout that snake.

"I'm over at mother's. I alted until 10 o'clock and then I eked up the house and put the key ider the doormat. The girl can it in if she has any sense." Her husband groaned. "How on irth is she going to know the key under the mat?" he demanded, she may be out there now, sitting l the steps. Don't yod realize that e may lose her? She won't sit ound there all day.

"Whatever you think best, dear," ild his wife, submissively, "but don't iame me if she telephones for a movig van during the day and has all ir furniture carted away to some arehouse." Penhatchet hung up the receiver ith a bang and dashed into the reet to summon a taxicab, donning is hat and overcoat as he went, here was a cab in sight when he ;ached the street, and in another loment he was tearing toward his istant home, clicking off dimes and uarters on the fare register with :artllng rapidity. He had his head out of the window hen the cab turned his corner, but o welcome eight of a waiting maid srvant greeted his eyes when the teps leading to his flat came into few. "She's gone!" he muttered, as he imped from the cab and hurried into lie hallway. The key was under the mat, but as e inserted it in the lock he hesitated, "he girl could not be in the house ith the key outside, and if she were ot there what object would he have a going in? It would be simply a raste of time, he decided. Tucking tie key into his pocket he slowly limbed into the cab again, and owled back to the office, plunged in itter thoughts. "That's the way with a woman," he narled, as he slammed into his office. Just when you get everything fixed ight they break in with some unooked-for proposition and spoil evrything."

As to Opium.

C course, there are to be found in Asi among the native population thoi sands of men and women who ai slaves to the habit and who ai thereby demoralized in mind ac ruined in constitution. On the oth< | hand, there are immense numbei of people who while accustomed 1 take opium daily consume the dru in moderate quantities and exhib no evil effects from the practice. I: deed, Mr. Rudyard Kipling son years ago stated .that in his bell the moderate consumption of opiu did good rather than harm to tl native population of India. In fac the consumption of opium by tl Asian people may be compared n< inaptly to the consumption of ale hoi by .the Europeans. Both hai through generations of practice a quired a certain immunity to tl drugs. This, however, does ni prove that alcohol and opium are ni harmful but that narcotics of ax description exert an especially m lign influence upon virgin soil.
