tumorous Department. Bobby's Bargain. Henry and Bobby, aged eight and ten respectively, were little boys who thought and had tendencies. In consequence of which, at times, they were a source of great embarrassment to their mother. Bobby, in particular, had the moneymaking propensity. He saved his pennies religiously, and his eye was keen for a bargain. One evening at dinner their father had as a guest a gentleman who was a great horseman. The boys listened attentively to the conversation for awhile, then Bobby opened fire with,? "Sav. Mr. Smith, can vou buy a horse for a hundred dollars?" "Yes, Bobby," said Mr. Smith, "you can." "Can you get one ft>r fifty dollars?" "Yes." "For twenty-five dollars?" "Yes." "For ten dollars?" "Yes." "For seven dollars?" "Perhaps." "Seven dollars, really?" said Bobby wonderingly. "Would the horse be awfully fast?"" "Well," said Mr. Smith, smiling, "you would not be likely to get a Lou Dillon or a Dan Patch, but the creature might be able to pull a plow." Bobby thought for a moment; then, "But, Mr. Smith, could a horse you paid seven dollars for have a colt?" "Possibly," said Mr. Smith gravely. "I have seven dollars in the bank," continued Bobby; "I guess I'll get a horse. For if a seven-dollar horse could have a colt, and that colt have a colt, and that colt have a?" Bobby's mother and father and Mr. Smith became seriously interested in the salad; the youthful Henry began to fidget; the embryo stock farm continued to grow?"and that colt have a colt, and that colt have a colt, and that colt?" Henry could stand It no longer. Turning to Bobby, he remarked in a tone of impatience, "Say, a-s soon as you think you have the worth of your money would you mind passing the bread?" The Arrival. A modern lady died and went to hades. His majesty met her deferentially at the gate. "Will it be possible for me to secure an establishment here?" she said. "Certainly, madam." "In a desirable location?" "I think so." "I don't care to be near the riffraff. And I should like to be 'ure and get suitable servants." "You should experience no' difficulty. There are several good agencies." "I could give dinner parties when i linear' "Dear me, yes." "And make a splurge at it?" "Oh, certainly!" "I should expect to spend my summers abroad." "Quite right. Return tickets free." "You have operas?" "Several, devoted to the haut ton." The lady lifted her lorgnette. She smiled slightly. "Do you know," she said, "I am agTeeably surprised. I was afraid this place was not kept up to the standards. It troubled me to think I might possibly have to associate with my inferiors. 1 am glad to see that you have such sense of the fitness of things. I am very glad to have renewed our brief acquaintance made on earth, and 1 will trouble you to see that my arrival is chronicled in the society columns of the papers."

No matter what you are doing the public is in absolute ignorance of it." And sinking back, she muttered softly to herself: "This is indeed hell!"?Life. Betrayed by His Disguise.?In one of the principal western cities the proprietor of a large jewelry store reported to the chief of police an extensive diamond robbery, says the Youth's Companion. He was asked by the chief if he suspected anyone. "Yes sir," hesitatingly answered the merchant, "although we have no Put o man whnm I hav/f? known for twenty-live years was in the store a day or two before the robbery, looking round and appearing to be ill at ease. He has since disappeared." "What kind of looking man was he?" "Dark complexioned, tall, with long, curly hair and a heavy mustache." "Well," said the chief, after a moment's thought, "I hope to be able to give you some news of him soon." Then he sent this telegram to the police authorities of several other cities: "Arrest tall man with close-cropped head and white upper lip. Diamond thief." The next day he received this dispatch from a town in Missouri: "Got diamond thief. Have recovered goods. Am holding him subject to your order." The Twins.?Frank Work, the aged New York millionaire, was talking to a reporter about international marriages, says the Globe-Democrat. "I can't understand," he said," why a beautiful American heiress will marry one of these fortune-hunting, empty-headed foreigners when she might have her pick of a hundred strong; clean, industrious American men.

New York, July 23.?I have put In the greater part of today running about the city seeing the sights on my own responsibility without a great deal of assistance, except from the professional guides; and like all others going over the town for the | first time, I was very much Interested. There Is no dull season in this great city, I am told, and I am prepared to believe it. Of course, there are times when everything is quiet in certain lines; but even at these times things are Just as brisk in other lines. The reason of this is that New YorK is the metropolis of the world, and the busy season for thousands of industries is on all the time. The streets are thronged incessantly, people moving in every direction at all hours, but the rush on main business thoroughfares is noticeably greater in the forepart of the morning, at noon and at night. I had never seen these crowds before, but I have heard and read numerous descriptions of them, and the sight did not seem unusual. Aside from their density, their most noticeable characteristic is the speed with which they move. It is a constant rush, rush, rush, and one has to keep his wits about him to avoid being run over. I was but a short time finding out that it was no place for a man who habitually walks as deliberately as I do, and as the best way out of it, I used the cars. What little business I had on the trin took me to the Tribune, and sev eral other buildings down town, and to the famous Flat Iron building up town, and after getting through with the Flat Iron building, I went on a sight seeing expedition on one of the automobile coaches, "Rubber Neck" wagons the New Yorkers call them. These cars, which carry about fortytwo people each, leave the Flat Iron building about every two hours and make regularly prescribed tours, covering most points of interest in the city. There is a guide on board, who explains the sights to the passengers through a megaphone. He recites his stereotyped lesson before various points of interest, and answers all the questions that may be asked of him by the way. This trip goes up Broadway, the longest street in New York and the greatest business street in the world, and through Fifth avenue, the richest residence street in the world. There are no car lines on Fifth avenue, or at least not on the part through which this car went. The people are too wealthy and aristocratic to ride in street cars. They do not seem to affect automobiles much, either. Thar is, not for going about the city. Of course, all of them have automobiles by the score; but their favorite mode of locomotion is by means of magnificent carriages drawn by splendid horses, driven by liveried coachmen with liveried footmen standing in the rear. The avenue fronts on Central Park for the greater part of its' length and the magnificent mansions, costing millions, each one four, five and six storied high. Many of the front doors and windows are now planked up, the residents having gone away to the mountains, the seashore or abroad for the summer. Among the numerous mansions that are especially pointed out are those of Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, house in which Jay Gould died, George Gould's residence, Helen Gould's res'dence, a residence which has cost 115,000,000 and which is still uncompleted. This tour goes along Riverside drive up to Grant's tomb on the Hudson, and passes numerous apartment houses and many famous churches, including the "Little Church Around the Corner." The guide Is particular to mention various locations that figured in the famous Thaw-White tragedy, including the Madison Square Garden theatre, on the roof of which White was killed, and the St. Regis hotel in which Evelyn Nesbit Thaw occupied magnificent apartments. One of the features of the drive is the various small parks along the streets that afford breathing places for nurses with babies, for people who are constantly finding need of a little fresh air, and for crowds of people who are "on the bum." Of course, there are people on the bum everywhere; but they are most noticeable in the parks, where they sit looking into space, reading the newspapers, or sitting up sleeping. There are free milk stations at several of these small parks and the milk booths are throng~J ?nv _.U vM 111. cu witii ptrupic cll iuu nuuia vwicu uum is dispensed. One of the prettiest places in New York I think, is Central Park. It is about two miles Iong and about half a mile broad. Millions and millions have been spent in beautifying it with walks, driveways, shade trees, etc., and it is certainly a most delightfully refreshing pleasure ground. Here there is a zoological garden that throws into the shade all the shows traveling, and in the Metropolitan museum one can spend days and days of pleasure and profit. The park is perfectly free to all who desire to enter and it is the daily resort of thousands of tired men. and a great congregating place for children in charge of nurses. Although I have gathered no material today for an especially interesting let ter, I feel that I have had quite a profitable time, especially in seeing and learning things that will be useful in the hereafter. Several business acquaintances have proposed to me during the day that they would like to show me the lion tonight; but I feel more like starting on my trip to Waterbury, Conn., and Rutland, Vt. It seems like quite a long trip from here; but it is probably the only opportunity I am going to have for a long time to come, and I feel sure that it will be well worth while. w. D. G. How a Monkey Pleaded. In Barbados the monkeys frequently injure the sugar cane. As a general thing, however, they are inoffensive creatures and the average planter regards them with good-natured tolerance. Once in a while, however, they commit a little too much damage on the arrowinjr cane, and an example has to be made of one poor culprit by shooting a member of any particular troop of monkeys that may be found near the scene of destruction. Rxposing the dead body as a warning is usually sufficient, and the cane Is no longer attacked. On one occasion great damage had been perpetrated, and the planter? Clarence Agard, now residing in St. Lucy. Barbados?went out with his gun to act as executioner. He succeeded In isolating one stray simian in a tree that was detached from all adjacent shrubbery. The poor animal, realizing that it was trapped, rushed up to the topmost branch, and then to the utmost end of the branch, and looked In the most appealing manner at the man below. The latter Anally raised his gun, and was on the point of pressing the trigger when the monkey suddenly took a little infantile replica of Itself from its back and held it out. in the most supplicating way com^elvabla The planter, who Is fond of animals, had his heart quite touched, and he (promptly lowered his gun. A companion, however, in his endeavor to see what else the poor simian would do, raised his gun, and apparently once more its lire was in danger. Then ensued a most striking exhibition of animal reasoning. The monkey at once grasped the fact that her first claim for consideration had apparently failed, and the only reason her Intelligence could suggest for the failure was that the Infant simian was not regarded as her own genuine offspring. What was to be done? How could she convince these two human brutes that she really was a sad and distressed mother? A happy thought occurred to her. She plucked a leaf from the tree, held it close to her breast and then pressed the breast till a few drops of milk exuded. Then she dropped the leaf, and again held up her baby to the gaze of the astounded men below. Needless to say, she escaped with her life.?London Globe. COSTLY FOX HUNTING. Hunting Packs In England Number More Than 12,000 Dogs. With the growing popularity of fox hunting in the United States the money cost of this fascinating sport becomes a matter of interest, not merely to those ensnLeeri in it. but to the DUb 11c In general. It would probably be| difficult if not Impossible to compile an accurate financial statement relating to the subject in the country at large, but in England, where the sport is a national one and conducted with strict regard for the expense account, such statements are easily obtainable, says the New York Mail. The extent to which the sport prevails in England is but little understood here in America, Richard Ord, author of the Foxhunter*s Vade Mecum, estimates that there are In England 229 packs of foxhounds and staghounds and 239 packs of harriers and beagles, these various packs numbering a total of more than 12,000 dogs. Mr. Ord figures that the cost of hunting 200 packs of foxhounds and staghounds on an average of less than thwo Havj n week amounts to at least $2,760,000 per year, and if to this is added $600,000 for hunting 200 packs of beagles and harriers there is a total of $3,260,000 for the sport of what may be called "official" votaries. Besides the horses and hounds represented in this calculation the nonofficial sportsmen keep upward of 200,000 horses specially trained for the hunt, which represents an investment of perhaps $60,000,000, the yearly maintenance of which, including wages of keepers, subsistence and other charges ranges between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000. Commenting on these figures a writer in the National Review estimates that the expenditure on a pack of hunters and hounds hunting four times a week, with a professional huntsman each day, amounts to $28,200 each year. He cites another case in which the expenditure on a pack with a professional huntsman hunting four times a week and the master of the hounds hunting on two days a week amounted to $31,700 for the year. Generally speaking, it costs $5,000 to place a pack of hounds in the field for a day's sport, that sum, of course, covering all incidental charges of the meet In cases where a master of the hounds is unable or unwilling to bear all the expenses of the meet the members of the hunt join in a subscription fund the per capita rate averaging about $150 per annum. A gentleman desirous of a single day's hunt is expected to pay $75 for it, the rate for a lady being $50. Not only is the financial aspect of fox hunting in England carefully looked after, but special pains are taken to protect the Interests of landowners and tenants in those districts where meets are held. All damages to property are made good without controversy, the result being unfailing good will among the population of the hunting countries. The foxes are increasing in number every year, and, naturally, their destruction of poultry is one of the principal items in the yearly bill of damages, which sportsmen are expected to pay. In a single district where the annual poultry claims amounted to only $500 forty years ago, they now aggregate $5,000, which, on the average rate per head, Indicate the killing of 10,000 fowl a year. Certainly the foxes fare well in that neighborhood. It is a curious fact, which the average master of hounds passes over with a smile, that many poultry keepers report exactly the same number of chickens killed by foxes every year. Glacier Again Visible. Something wonderful has recently taken place In Alaska. This is the drifting away of Icebergs from ths front of Muir glacier, in Glacier bay, so that the first time In nine years this famous glacier, the most noted on the continent, has been visited, says the Technical World. In 1889 a subterranean earthquake took place at Kakutat, and ever since the approach to this glacier has been so choked with ice that boats have been turned away, with their passengers disappointed. Now, through some peculiar drifting of the ice, steamboats can enter the channel and go near the right wing and, after cautiously pushing their way, get a glimpse of the left face. In the nine years away from the sight of man this glacier has shown remarkable changes. When Prof. John Mulr, after whom it was named, visited it, it had a solid face, two miles "'"6i auuui ^ou ieei nigu aouve me water line. It was a live glacier, from which great masses toppled Into the sea with reverberations like thunder. Water would splash 50 feet high. Today the glacier has a different aspect. Erosion has worked out a new bay, which will soon be charted, and the glacier itself seems to have two parts, the live part, from which icebergs break and fail with a tremendous noise, and a dead arm, or one with land forming between it and the sea. This change is due to a hill which projected through the top of the ice when Prof. Muir was there. Now that hilltop is a large mountain, dividing the ice fields. The ice has also receded at least four miles in the last nine years. AMBITION. Not Intended to Drive Man to Acquire Wealth. There are two kinds of ambition? the noble and the ignoble. The ignoble sort seeks to prevail by sheer triumph of might over weakness, of wealth over poverty, of shrewdness over simplicity, of audacity over timidity. It never stops to ask what ruination is left behind in its path; it is like a heartless, conscienceless automobllist. It does not turn the head to inquire; it does not expend any mental or sentimental energy in sympathizing. Whatever It may have overridden or undertrodden it goes right on obliviously. A ruthless destroyer, impervious to pity or to any softer emotion, its way is paved with the bones and skulls of all that died to provide a pathway for its triumphal progress. Even so Napoleon, for all the pomp and fanfarade of military glory, must leave behind many a smoking ruin where once there was a home; must Danish laughter and install lamenta(n /.kllllno null , jiiuoi icq v c 1/iuou aw ?ii ui1u11i10 rain what only a little while ago was upstanding in the sunlight. To such a conquerer there must have come sometimes a sense of the cost, in blood and tears, of such dominion; pangs and terrors must inevitably have struck into his soul, like shooting pains, when he thought forward to the time after death when, men have supposed even a conqueror must make an accounting and receive his Just reward or his deserved retribution. The reason why Thomas Cromwell or any other man Is urged to fling away ambition is that so few can be led to the heights by the evil genius, the malignant star of the earth without being ready to place their souls in pawn to the devil for the sake of possessing the whole surpassing prospect All that they see they want and for the baubles and gewgaws of Vanity Fair they are willing to barter the immediate jewel. Perhaps the lowest form of ambition is that which merely seeks to accumulate great possessions for the sake of the astonishment of the onlooker and the bystander. Sometimes a very rich man will build a seaside residence of practically no substance ?a few small rooms only, at the shallow heart of the residence; but then he will proceed to flank the insignificant central portion with enormous "double decker" piazzas, insolent porte-cocheres, superfluous pillars supporting futile roofs and unnvnilnhla halrnnlPR The lawn round about la crowded with cheap statuary and shrubbery painfully trimmed, with tasteless and garish borders and floral designs and meretricious fountains. The primal purpose of all this architectural insincerity is to astound the world with the wealth that pays for all this flaunting advertisement of one man's self-aggrandizement, to paralyze with the thought, "This much was heaped up in one lifetime." To be a multimillionaire of the virtues has not occurred to the owner of the barbaric pearl and gold. He prefers to have his walls speak as well as have ears, that they may say to every one who passes that their owner is a plutocrat not in the things of the spirit but In the things that can be handled and that shine?the things that All the eye and glitter speciously and are im posing merely by virtue or vice or their magnitude. There Is another kind of ambition, nobler far, that does not seek to rise or to pass onward by ruthlessly trampling to the sod and underneath a weakling opposition. It sees and approves that there must be competition; that no man who wants to win can hope that he will be a solo performer, with the whole great orchestra of life held in abeyance for his benefit. But It plays the game fairly; it will not wrongfully win; It prefers to lose, like Philip Sidney or the Chevalier Bayard, rather than to win with the great Napoleon. It recognizes too, the objects that are In our one brief lifetime worth the striving for and It does not relegate a man's own soulinhabited self to the mere function of a curator of the museum which his own petti-fogging industry has accumulated about him. No man ought to be a slave to the things he owns; but some men belong more absolutely to their accumulations than these goods and chattels belong to them. Ambition was not intended to drive a man to pile up a miser's hoard In a dark cellar. In the divine purpose It was meant that ambition should be that "last infirmity of noble minds," spurring a man "to scorn delights and live laborious days," in the pursuit of high alms and the rejection of ignoble compromises, leading him to starve the body, if need be, but not to give a stone in place of bread to the perpetual hunger of the soul.?Philadelphia Ledger. GOT HIS MEASURE. The Witness Had No Further Fear of the Cross Examiner. The great lawyer was just starting home after a hard day's work in court. A sedate looking man approached him and said: "t j ~'4 "-Lot Iwir vaii romom 1 mill i Riiuiv n iviiki j./u bor me or not. I am one of the witnesses whom you cross examined yesterday." "Ah!" "There are one or two small matters I wanted to ask you about. You seem to be a person of superior Intelligence. I'll walk along with you to your station so as not to waste any time.

"wny, sir?realty ? "You don't mean to tell me you are stumped by a little one like that?" "You see, the question Is a little sudden, and in order to grasp ts full significance"? "Never mind. Here's an easier one, nearer the beginning of the book. If I were to suggest to you that a certain object is a polyhedron, in which two of the faces are polyglons, equal in ail their parts, and having their homologous sides parallel, what would be the impression conveyed to your mind?" "To be candid, I never looked into the suojeet very deeply." "You don't mean to own up that you wouldn't know It was a plain everyday prism?" "I hadn't thought of It In that light." "That's all. My boy, who has just left school, could have answered those questions without stopping to think. I feel better. You were putting on a lot of airs yesterday, but you ain't any cyclopedia. I don't believe you are even a handy compendium of useful knowledge. After this display of lamentable Ignorance on your part I want to make Just one suggestion.
