He was a great big fellow, with a fist on him that could fell an ox, and a jaw that indicated he was willing to if an opportunity were offered, but in other respects he seemed to the Sun reporter to be a most exemplary man. He was one of a dozen laborers wait ing on a pier for a scow that was ap parently never to get there, and they were talking about a drunken man who had been removed a few minutes be fore in a patrol wagon. "By gosh," said the big fellow, "I used to have a weakness for the wet myself, and I'm ashamed to say so, but I've took a ride in that same go hickle, too. More than one. I guess, but it's all over now." lOne of the men chaffed him a bit, and he went on : "About 20 years ago or thereabouts, when I was a bigger fool than I am now," he said, "I was a hard one, but somehow I found a woman to have me, and I got married. She might have done worse, mebbe, for I was never out of work, but she couldn't have done much worse, though I'm think ing it wouldn't have been safe to have told her so. Annie's friends, and mine, too, didn't want her to marry me, but you know*how a woman is when she takes a notion, and Annie had a notion I was worth trying to save. Of course, I made all kinds of promises and swore to them thicker than blackberries, that I wouldn't any more, and would keep myself straight for her sake. You know how men do when they are in love with a girl, and I guess I was in lov-e with Annie. I told her she would save me if she would marry me, and she thought mebbe she could, so she mar ried me. "Annie owned her own house, and we went to housekeeping in that, and for the first two months we was hap pier than two bees in a honeysuckle, and I thought it was easy as anything to be respectable if I had a good wo man to help me. After a time I got used to being married, and kind of felt lonesome of nights and wanted to see the boys once more, so I went out one Saturday night and came home fuller than a wagon load of hay. "Annie met me at the door, and I had sense enough to see that my only chance was to put a bold front on and bulldoze it through. And I did, fori was twiee as big as she was, and ten times as ugly, and the way I talked around there was enough to have made her go back on me forever. But An nie wasn't afraid of anything, and she took what I said like an angel, and I closed by tumbling off my chair to sleep. "I don't know how long it was be fore I came to, but when I did I thought I war smothering with bed covers all over my head, and I began to kick and swear and sputter and yell. I might as well have tried to get out of jail. Annie was on the outside saying things that sounded bad for me, and pretty soon I began to feel a cowhide whacking me over the body from head to foot. Then I understood that Annie had sewed me up in a sheet or something, and was giving me a lesson. It was a sharp one, too. and kept up till I had made a thousand promises to keep sober, and not to hurt her when I got out. "I made the promises easy enough, but she didn't let me out till Sunday morning and by that time I wasn't so drunk as I was, but I was madder than ever, and so soon as I got loose I forgot everything and made a grab for my wife. Nobody knows what might have happened if Annie hadn't been the kiud of a woman she was, but she was the right kind, and as I reached foi* her she reached for a shovel handle there was in the corner, and the next thing I knew I was laid out fla.t and Annie was standing over me. " 'Now, look h?re, Tom,' says she, 'you've begun by lying to me and get ting drunk. You have broken your promises. You have tried to fight me as you would fight a man, and I have laid you out as a maa might have done; if you move hand or foot now, I'll smash you flat. This is my house, and everything in it is mino. I don't ask any more promises of you, but if you ever get drunk again, you never come under my roof. Now,getupand go to bed, and I'll go for the doctor,' which she did, boys," he concluded, ""and from that day to this one Annie and I haven't bad a 'Squabble, and, though I'm not under any promise not to drink, 1 don't think I have had more than a drink a year since that Sunday morning." Stealing Flowers. The remarkable increase of bicycle riding adds a new menace to suburban gardens and orchards. Bicycle riders returning to town from the country with big bunches of flowers tied to their handle bars are familiar objects in the suburbs of all our large cities. It is safe -to assume that a large part of these flowers have been gathered without the consent of their owners. Pilfering of this sort is often the result of ignorance or thoughtless ness, and the press of the country can do a real service in teaching a stricter morality than now prevails in the United States upon this point. Flow er stealing, however, is not always the result of ignorance, and it is not an uncommon sight to see women driven by liveried servants with carriage loads of stolen flowers. Such women have not the excuse of poverty to plead in explanation for, their thefts, and no amount of teaching, unless it comes through the judges of police courts, will enlighten their minds on this point. People who grow flowers are always willing to share them with their less fortunate neighbors, as the success of the flower missions throughout the country abundantly proves, but no one however public spirited or gener ous, likes to be taken advantage of or to see his trees and shrubs broken to pieces, or to feel that any rare or in teresting plant, whose development he is watching, may bc pulled up by some vandal, who is very likely to throw it away before he has carried it 100 yards, thus adding insult to in jury. This ignorance and lawlessness where plants and flowers are concern ed are serious drawbacks to the culti vation of gardens near our cities, and they cast a well deserved reproach on people who would not take 5 cents' worth of anything else which djd not belong to thom. This evil is increas ing every year, and it is liable to in crease until "public sentiment against it is thoroughly aroused and laws against depredations of this character arc promptly and rigorously enforced. - Garden and Forest. - People who live alone remain strangers to themselves.

Ile can play the violin very well, and has a fondness for pictures. His income is a trifle more than $20,000 a day-nearly ?17 a minute. He gets.less real enjoyment out of life, probably, than most $12-a-wcek clerks. He never attends thc theatre or opera, but occasionally goes to a con cert. He looks like a preacher. He has sloping shoulders and a melancholy face. His highest ambition when a young ster was to be a trapeze performer in a circus. He founded the Chicago University, and has given to that institution about $10,000.000. He pays $10,000 a year to the per son who looks after thc distribution of his charities. He saved money from the time he first began to earn it. In two years he had put away $500. Then he and M. B. Clark wem:, into the commission business in St. Louis, and in eight years had saved $5,000. ?With this capital he started a little oil refinery, out of which grew the Standard Oil Company and his vast wealth. In a short time the Rockefellers were near unto failure, and wer<3 res cued b3r Henry M. Flagler's father-in law, M. V. Harkness. He has a number of residences one at No. 4 West Forty-fourth street, New York City ; one in Cleveland, another in Greenwich, Conn. ; and a very handsome place near Tarrytown. Connected with this house is a very good skating rink. He is an iron king, as well as an oil king. He practically owns al) the Lake Superior mines, as well as the principal deposits in Cuba. During the financial depression a few years ago he bought all the iron mining property in sight-and at a bargain. His parents were Scotch folks, who settled on a small farm near Moravia, N. Y. They moved to Oswego, and later to Cleveland. John D. Rocke feller married a Cleveland school teacher, Miss Lucy-Spellman. They have four children. The two daugh ters are married. inst now Mr. Rockefeller is having a deal of trouble with his parson, the Rev. Daniel C. Potter, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church; Mr. Rockefeller some time ago gave to the church $50,000. The Rev. Mr. Pot ter asserts that Mr. Rockefeller has wrecked the church because his con duct has not been such as to please the Standard Oil Magnate. The case is now being tried.-New York World. How an Owl's Head Goes Round. A contributor to the American Nat uralist, who had read a funny story about an owl wringing his own neck by looking at a man who was walking around him, tested the matter by ex periment. He obtained a fine speci men and plaoed him on a post. "It was not difficult," says the writer, "tov secure his attention, for he never diverted his gaze from me while I was in his 'presence. I began walking rapidly around the post a few feetfrom it, keeping my eyes fixed upon ' him all the while. "His body remained motionless, but his head turned exactly with my movements. When I was half-way round, his head wa3 directly behind. Three-quarters of a circle were com pleted, and still the same twist of the neck and the same stare followed me. "One circle and no chuuge. On I went, twice around, and still that watchful stare and steady turn of the head. On I went, three times around, and I began really to wonder why the head did not drop off, when all at once I discovered what I failed to no ? tico before. "When I reached half-way round from the front, which was as far as he could turn his head to follow my movements with comfort, he whisk ed it back through the whole circle so instantaneously and brought it facing me again with such precision that I failed to detect the movement although I was looking intently all the time. "I repeated the experiment many times afterwards on the same bird, and I had always to watch carefully to detect the movement of the re-ad justment of his gaze."-Michigan , Christan Advocate. Mrs. Cleveland's Example. The women of America can learn many things from Mrs. Cleveland. First of all, and best of all, they can learn absolute simplicity. I spent a morning with Mrs. Cleveland the oth er day. I wore my usual blue Salva tion Army uniform and my poke bon net, and the negro boys on the street had all they could do to keep from "foring in line" to tease my husband and me as we passed along. Mrs. Cleveland received me as if I wore the jewels of a queen. I don't know whether she knew that red is the army color, but she took me into the Red Room and asked me to sit down and have a talk. She asked me a good deal of questions that showed a kindly and unusually intelligent in terest in our work. She wanted to know all about our children's homes. Mrs. Cleveland loves children. You can tell that the minute she speaks of them. She takes a great deal of care of her own children. I am told by those who know her well that Mrs. Cleveland never lets anything, or anybody inter fere with her "children's hour." That's the hour when the babies go to bed at night, and the hour when they take their baths in the morning. Mrs. Cleveland is never too tired or too busy to listen to the babies' trou bles. She wauted to know all about our slum babies and our day homes. 1 told her about the new home we're going to have-a home for babies whose mothers forgot to care for them. It's going to be opened on Washing ton's Birthday, and it's going to be called the Cherry Tree. " Mrs. Cleveland laughed. "Are you going to have a hatchet over thc door?" she asked. When she had .heard all about the home, I told her about our temper ance work. She was much interested in that. Mrs. Cleveland never drinks wine, even at the State dinners. She want ed to know just how we worked and what our success had been. She ask ed many questions about our various branches of rescue work. She did not listen with perfunctory politeness. She listened with real sympathy and human interest. I have heard people wonder what it is that makes Mrs. Cleveland so much beloved. There's no mystery about it. Mrs. Cleveland is a woman-a sympathetic, genuine, unaffected wo man, and you can't bc in thc room with her five minutes without feeling, some how, cheered and encouraged, as the presence of healthful-minded, gentle hearted women always encourages and cheers. What eau the women of America learn from Mrs. Cleveland? Much that is worth learning-simplicity, kindliness, love of little children, hu man sympathy and an utter lack of self-consciousness. Not a bad exam ple, to follow is it? In The (,'ourt House. Miss Mary ?lcmphill in thc Abbe ville Medium : Men will not tell the truth and we have had it proven twice there of late. Once this summer when we went on a visit to the polls and found it such a quiet, neat and orderly place in com parison to what it has been described by thc people who were opposed to woman suffrage, and last Thursday when we went to thc court house to attend tho Howley trial and found it to be a pretty decent place, in spite of ali. thc ugly things people say about it. This trial has excited a great deal of iniei't-st and a number of women re solved to hear the evidence and speeches, if "somebody else" would go. Somebody else did go and conse quently the crowd grew larger as the trial progressed. Our first impression on entering thc room was that it was very hot and there was a great crowd of people, and our second impression was that the sheriff had very wisely divided the white people from the col ored people. Wc took a look around and found the jury men on the left ha:id side of the room, the lawyers scattered all around inside thc railing, and the judge above looking with calm indifference at the drawing of the jury. The jury by the way is lord of all they survey. The prisoner looks to them for salvation, the eleoquence of the lawyers, when they are not cutting at one another, ?3 flung squarely at their heads, the judge makes his charge to them and they retire with all the solemnity of a preacher on com munion day, and bring back, after so long a time, whether or no in their opinion the prisoner is innocent or guilty. We went to the court house during the whole trial and looked in vaia for something to uphold the argu ment that a woman would be out of her sphere when in a court room. It is true the aisle was crowded, but things were made lovely for us by thc three deputies who passed our crowd from one to the other until we took a very comfortable seat inside the rail ing. We watched these deputies dur ing the day and thought what an easy time some woman would have as dep uty when we get in our fine work and get to be judges, lawyers, sheriffs, jurywomen, clerks of court, and to fill all the other soft jobs floating around a court room. During the three days of the trial we were in the .court house some part of each day, and the only thing that could have been questioned was the large number of weu who were chew ing tobacco. The people in the audi ence could not bc blamed for this, as the example was set them by a num ber of the Abbeville lawyers and by all the counsel from Greenville with the exeption of two. Not a Mongrel. While the Cuban question, in most of its details, has been thoroughly discussed, there is one features of the situation to which little or no promi nence has been given, and that is the character of the population. With respect to the Cubans, there exists in the public mind quite a vari ety of ideas. It is urged by those who sympathize with the Spanish gov ernment that Cuba is wholly unfit to govern herself on account of the prom inence of negro blood on thc island. The prevailing opinion in this coun try, even among those who are friend ly to the insurgents, seems to bc that a majority of the natives are mixed breeds. While there are some, of course, who fall under this head, thc number is small when compared to the total population of the island, and scarcely amounts to a fraction. From the latest official returns the white inhabitants number about 1, 100,000, while the colored population, including negroes, Indians and mixed breeds, is only about 489,000. These figures clearly show that pure Spanish blood predominates on the island and that Cuba is just as capable of self government as thc haughty kingdom of Spain itself. Still another false impression in re gard to Cuba is expressed in the charge that its population is criminal and unruly. So far as the records throw any light upon this subject nearly all the crimes committed on the island are traced to residents of foreign birth and not to native Cu bans, either white or colored. The only respect in which the Cu bans are deficient is in educational fa cilities. Common schools have made but little progress in Cuba for the simple reason that Spain has done everything in her power to prevent the growth of intelligence. While the statement is a harsh one to make, it is nevertheless true. Thc idea of the home government in adopting such a barbarious policy is no doubt ex plained by the fact that slavery can be besit promoted in a condition of ignorance. Spanish rule in Cuba has always been oppressive, and there is every reason to believe that thc gov ernment has stifled education for the purpose of maintaining its supremacy over the island. Instead of accomplishing its pur pose, however, this policy of keeping thc Cubans in ignorance has failed, and Spain is now grievously aware of her mistake. Had she treated the Cubans with only decent respect, in stead of reducing them to a state of abject dependence and servitude, the fires of revolution would never have been kindled on the island, and its fertile soil, now drenched with blood, would be to-day luxuriant with the smile of peace.-Atlanta Constitution. - "When you stepped on that gen tleman's foot, Tommie, I hope you apologized ?" "Oh, yes, indeed I did,'! said Tommie, "and he gave mc ten cents for being such a good boy." "Did he ? And what'did you do then?" "Stepped on thc other and apologized again, but it didn't work."

Feb 3, 1897 ?2 4 *? - Vice President-elect Hobart's mail every day since election has contained something like fifty letters hogging for money. No small share of tho petitions comos from churches iii at want Mr. Hobart to free thom from debt, while not a few clergymen ask him to eke out their meagre salaries with a more or less gen erous contribution. A modest yoong woman writes from New Orleais for ?10, 000 with which to completo her musical education, and requests to be informed by telegraph as to the date on which the money will reach her. This letter fills thirty pages. Another girl wants ?8 with which to buy a set of false teeth. She says both her sisters are provided with these ornaments, and their chanced of getting husbands have been much im proved thereby. Mr. Hobart is known to be a very rich and very generous man. No applicant ever goes from his door un heeded. - The late W. A.? Couchman, of Clark County, Ky., was the perpetrator of an extraordinary practical joke. Returning from a hunting trip one evening, be was attracted to a country church where a re vival was in progress. After watching the services for awhile he climbed up on the roof to get a better view through the hole where the stovepipe was meant to go. In tho excitement of tho evening one of the congregation shouted out: "Gabriel, blow your horn ! I'm ready to go !" The temptation was too great for Conchmao, and, putting bis born to his lips, he blew a blast through thii flue hole and stamped edithe congrogation to a man. The grand jury discussed the propriety of indicting the sacrilegious hunter, but nu proceedings were taken against him. - A negro citizen writes a lev.ter to the Atlanta Journal in which be says that negroes do not expect or wish to ride in the same cars as the whites, but they do ask that they shall have equally good accommodations for the same money. "This is an absolutely just demand," says the Journal. "The railroads which do not voluntarily provide equal accom modations for equal pay should ba required by law to do so. When negroes are charged the same fare as white people the cars and other accommodations which are set apart for them should be as good and convenient as those which white persons occupy.
