THE FELLOW WH<
The fellow who fights the fight alone,
With never a word of cheer,
With never a friend his help to lend,
With never a comrade near?
Tis he has need of a stalwart hand
And a heart not given to moanHe
struggles for life and more than life,
The fellow who tights alone!
The fellow who fights the world alone
With never a father's smile, / j
With never a mother's kindly tone *
His sorrowful hours to guile,
Who joins the fray at the dawn of day
Ana battles tiil light is flown.
Must needs be strong, for the fight is long,
The fellow who tights alone!

A String
Of Pearls.
/ / * YOUNG lady to see you,
* * /\ Mr. Denvers."
Ralph Delivers, the head
of the great hanking firm
** - c
of Brandon & Den vers, ioouea up irum
the pear he was peeling, but no hint of
. the surprise he felt a't his butler s announcement
was allowed to creep into
his face.
"I am not expecting anyone, Harris."
he said, quietly. "It is a mistake, probably.
Did she send in any name?"
"She would not give her name, sir; I
she was very persistent or I would nor
V- have troubled you, sir; she seems in j
distress.".
r "In distress? TVhat is she like, Har- J
? Hs?"
It was a listless question; he was ab.
. solutely without curiosity concerning
the appearance of this stray young person
who sought au audience of him,
but It was lonely in this cltk paneled
dining room of the great house in
which he lived, and it was more for i
the sake of talking to somebody that
he detained Harris now.
Ralph Denvers had more dinner invitations
than ho could accept, but at
thirty-three he was given to telling
jfi,--; himself that the dinners eaten at other <
Ky'. men's tables were too heavily paid for
in the toll of epigrammatic cohversation
that was exacted of the guest who ;
would justify the reason of his appearance
in the brilliant set in which Ralph 1
I.; Denvers moved. Ralph was just a lit- .
tired of brilliancy. j
"She is very ycuug, sir; a child, al,
* most," Harris broke in upon his reflec- (
fc, .*-tkms. "A lady, I should say," and he i
added beneath his breath, "pretty as a
> -^ picture.
It paay be that Ralph heard him.
' "Show her in," he said, briefly; "I
may as "well see "what she wants."
> , Han-is disappeared, and presently his ;
place was takeh by a slim slip of a girl, ?
f who stared at the man who rose at her <
v ' entrance with a pair of frightened eyes.
3~J" Ralph Denvers saw the eyes, and his
& fiance wandered to the quivering, smil*
-tag mouth.
: ^ "You wish to see me?" he said. ;
*Won't you sit down?"
*; ^he girl sank into the chair he ofT
fered her, and sat there, clasping and
unclasping her fingers in an agony of
oervousness.
. "Well," he said to her, and there was
& note of encouragement in his voice.
H=Ts it very difficult to tell?"
It was more difficult than he knew.
Aline Tempest rose to her feet and
' stood with her hand resting on the '
. tablecloth.
< "It is hard," she said, "but I must
say it. I came to say it. It's about
- Dick, my brother, you know."
She stopped and looked at him, and
be looked al^her. How was he to know
ibout Dick?
"He never meant to do it," she went
on, and drew a step nearer to him;
"there were men outside who tempted
him, and he was young, and we had
so little, and he hoped to make a fortune
for me. You see I was to blame;
It was all for me."
"Were you anxious for a fortune?"
saltf Ralph, looking at the quaint little
figure in the quaint, unfashionable
|& gown, and then at the lovely, childish
face.
"I wanted nothing," she said, "and I
K". did not guess until it was too late. You
lee, it has been so different since father
- ?went."
The under lip trembled, and a tear
gathered and fell, and Ralph Denvers
L _^-jtared steadily at the painted pheasant
oa his dessert plate.
"I should like to hear all about it,"
he said. "Please sit down again and
tell me what is your name?and Dick's."'
"I am Aline Tempest," she said, simply,
conquering her emotion with an
effort that commanded his admiration,
"and when father died Senator Mandevflle
got Dick into your bank. He was
going into the law, you know, but it
had to be given up with the other
things. It was all very altered for
him, and I am afraid," with a little
watery smile, "that he did not like the
bank. But it gave us money to live on,
and I meant to teach when I got pupils.
I haven't got any yet?it seems

Dick grew tired, and these men came
to him, and there was some horse that
+ was goiDg to make a fortune for all of
K them."
"We have heard of that horse before,"
said Ralph, and then was
ashamed of his jest.
"Have you:" said Aline. "We never
had. They persuaded him, and Dick
?oh, how could he do it??took money
from the bank; a little at first, and afterward
a great deal. It isn't known
yet, but to-morrow it will be known.
They've given him money to get off
with, and he's going to England tomorrow
from Boston. He must go, I
suppose, or else something worse will
happen. But I hated him to go like

these?they're mother's pearls, the only
thing of hers they let me keep?and I
thought they would help to pay something,
and perhaps you won't let it be
known to-morrow."
She handed him the pearls as she
spoke and Ralph took them in his
4P hand. A short string, worth, perhaps,
$500 if the full value were given, and
this child's mother had worn them.
He looked at them and wondered what
he should do, and a timid hand was
laid on his arm.
"Isn't it enough?" said Aline. "Oh,
I don't know how much it was, but
they will help a little. And will you
keep them and let me go home and
tell Dick that he need not go? And
afterward, when I get work, I can pay
it back?all of it."
"I will keep them."
Ralph Denvers stood up and slipped
the chain in his pocket.
"I will keep them." he said again,
"and you can go home and tell Dick
that he must come into my room at the
bank to-morrow."
What made him do it, he, Ralph Denvers,
cynical man of the world, given
to jesting doubt over such vague words
as faith and charity, given to denying
the hope that lias led men to stumble
> on so long? What made him do it? It
mav hp that he knew even then. And I
O FIGHTS ALONE.
Ah. bitter enough the combat is
With every help at hand.
With friends at need to bid godspeed,
With spirits that understand;
But fiercer far is the fight to one
Who struggles along unknown?
Oh. brave ana grim is the heart of him,
The fellow who fights alone!
God bless the fellow who fights alone,
And arm his soul with strength!
Till safely out of the battle rout
He conquering comes at length,
Till far and near into every ear
The fame of his fight is blown.
Till friend and foe in the victor know
The fellow who fights alone!

when she was gone he stood and called j
himself a fool for his pains, and it wr*; j
perhaps as well he did not see the girl I
lie had befriended sink down before j
an empty chair in nil empty room and j
weep her heart out because Dick was !
already gone.
Ralph took up the invitations on his
mantel shelf. lie had all that evening
before him?Where should he go? He I
put them down again and paced the !
room. What was this thing he had j
just heard? It had sounded simple
enough, but it may be that it meant ;
a big tiling. Those men outside soundr j
ed ominous, what if they were also I
going to England to-night?
Hastily snatching up a list of sailing ;
steamers he saw that a steamer was |
due to leave Boston at dawn. His
mind flew to ways and means; to get
down there to-night a man must go
by the 10 o'clock from the Grand Central.
He looked at his watch and
found, to his relief, that he had time
and to spare. Why should he net '
profit by the information he had re- j
ceived to be his own detective? And j
if only Dick Tempest were there why
should he not bring him back to the
sister whose heart he was going to
break? She must not be allowed to j
weep any more?that pretty child who j
bad come to him in her dark hour.
It promised a little more excitement !
:han an evening spent in listening to a j
singer whose repertoire ho knew by i
heart. He went upstairs and changed !
into a lounge suit, and, with a coat j
over his arm, he walked quietly out j
of the house in West Seventy-second
street and had himself driven to the I
Forty-second street station.
He knew who they were now. They i
were Richard Tempest's children, and j
he remembered that old Senator \
Mandcville had said something to him
about looking after the lad. But when
one is good looking, popular and thirtythree,
what time is there for looking :
after stray boys? Ralph had seen j
young Tempest once, and had asked i
him how he liked the bank, and had >
uot waiteu to litrur iijs uu?\> <iuu j
straightway had gone away and for- :
gotten that lie was in the world. lie j
wondered if he should know liira again j
as his cab pulled up at the main entrance
of the railroad station.
It was early yet, and the platform j
was not overcrowded. Ralph walked !
the length of the train and saw no one j
who was likely to he Dick Tempest, j
lie went to the ticket office and got
himself a ticket; it might be necessary i
to go to Boston, it was just possible lie |
iiad caught an earlier train. He walked
up and down scanning the faces of
those who passed him with keen, leisurely
glance. The time sped, the moment
of farewells came, and Ralph j
was wondering if he had thrown his j
evening away, when suddenly he saw J
him. Dick Tempest came quickly i
down the platform, a small handbag j
for all his luggage, surely a poor outfit j
for a trip to Europe. The train was cn ,
the point of starting, and Ralph was j
the last person in the world to desire i
'\a srone." He steDDed out to meet the I
lad coming toward him.
"Ah, Tempest," he said, pleasantly, j
"I thought you were not coming. I
have a stateroom."
Dick Tempest looked into the face of j
the man he had robbed, and knew that !
his story was told. He hesitated, but j
the other's glance was compelling, and ;
in answer to it he got into the train ,
and took his place in Ralph Denver's j
stateroom.
The journey to New Haven and back
is not a long one, but there is time in j
it for a pitiful tale of weakness and
temptation and a too late repentance
to be told; there is time Jn it for forgiveness
to be sought and not denied.
It was early morning when these two |
strange traveling companions arrived j
again in New York. Ralph Denvers j
put his hand on the shoulder of the !
younger man.
"Go home," he said. "Remember
that a sister waits for you, and that
you are to come to the bank as if noth- ;
ing had happened."
He drove home himself in the keen
morning air, and almost for the first |
time in his thirty-three years of life he !
realized how pleasant it is to be a rich j
man. There was a big check drawn on j
his account that morning and the firm j
of Brandon & Denvers never knew how j
it had been swindled to the extent of |
nearly $25,000.
It was shortly after this that host- I
esses began to complain that Ralph j
Denvers was never available for even i
the most attractive of their parties, j
And it "was nearly a year later when i
one morning there was a quiet wed- j
ding in a little church round the corner i
?a wedding to which the world was
not invited, a wedding at which only
three happy young people were present.
They left Dick standing on the steps
of the church, and as they drove to the
station Ralph slipped his arm round his
wife's shoulders and dropped some- j
thing into her lap.
"My first present to you," he said.
"I have given you nothing yet."
Aline Denvers took the little string
of yellow pearls in her fingers.
"Oh, Ralph," she said, "and once I
was silly enough to think "
He stooped and kissed her.
"They are the most wonderful pearls
in the world," he told her. "They have
brought happiness for three people."-*

Hospital Balloons.
Dr. Naugier, of Paris, in a paper on
ballooning, at a recent meeting of the !
Academie de Medecine, made the as- ,
tonishing assertion that a two hours' '
voyage in the air causes a marked
increase in the number cf red corpus- j
cles, and the condition persists for ten
days after an ascent. Two such ascents
in the course of six or seven j
weeks, he said, are more beneficial to '
an anaemic than a sojourn of three j
months in the mountains. Dr. Naugier ,
urged that the municipal council be '
asked to provide a large balloon capa- !
ble of taking to the upper air daily j
fifty patients who are too poor to afford !

THE BABY'S LAYETTE.
Not such a very long time ago it
would have been almost impossible to
buy the necessary garments for an infant's
outfit, but today there are many
shops which make a specialty of children's
and infants' clothing and all
their belongings, and there is scarcely
a department store that does not have
its infants' department. This makes
the providing of large outfits unnecessary;
in fact, the healthy baby grow3
so rapidly that it is far better not to
start with too many clothes. The first
dresses are scon outgrown, and the
kind of dresses needed for the second
set depends much upon the season.
For instance, the layette of a baby
born in the late spring or early summer
months would naturally differ
somewhat from the autumn or winter
layette. For the former the following
is ample: Six dresses; six petticoats;
six flannel skirts; six shirts; three
flannel bands; four night-gowns; two
dozen diapers eighteen inches wide by
thirty-six inches long; four dozen diapers
twenty-two inches wide and forty-four
inches long; four flannel or
cashmere sacquec: four pairs of thin
cashmere or woollen stockings; four
pairs of bootees cr moccasins; two
long wraps made of cashmere or light
flannel, and one or two soft mull caps.

GREAT STATURE A DISEASE.
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ANOMALIES
FREQUENT AMONG GIANTS.
The Large Being Exempt From Bodily
Defects and Superior in Height,
Strength and Vital Resistance is an
Ideal Creature, a Myth.
Great height, or giantism, has been
regarded by many authorities as a
disease, or at least an abnormal condition.
Some recent authorities are
identifying it with acromegaly, or enlargement
of the extremities, a deformity
marked by huge Jaws, hands, and
feet and ofteD by a humped back.
It has been shown that abnormal stature
is often followed by this condition
which may be only a later stage
of the same malady, says a writer in
the Revue Scientifique.
"An interesting paper on giants has
just been read by M. Henry Meige before
the Congress of Alienists and
Neurologists. The author at the outset,
recalls the fact that an original
genius once had a plan to encourage
marriage between individuals of gigantic
stature. Did he realize that
i ? ^.l .i XT T - - ^ ~ xi? ^
lie \>uuiu Liius oe encouraging lue
perpetration of a monstrosity?
"The giant exempt from all physical
defects, and superior at once in
height, strength, and vital resistance,
is an ideal being, a myth. In fact, M.
Meige shows that gigantism is really
a monstrosity and a disease. Observations
of giants, collected by scientific
'investigators, show the frequency
of physical and mental anomalies
among them; historic giants were far
from being superior In all respects.
"We know nothing of Goliath except
his stature, but a giant mentioned
In 2 Kings had supernumerary fingers.
Now polydactylism: is one of
the most conspicuous stigmata of degeneracy.
Barcel Dounat saw at Milan
a giant who slept in two beds
placed end to end, but this long man
could not stand upright. William
Evans, the gigantic porter of Charles
I., was without strength; the porter
of Cromwell, also a giant, was confined
in a lunatic asylum. The Irishman
O'Brien was like a huge, sick
child that had grown too quickly.
These examples could be multiplied.
They show that degenerative symptoms
of all sorts, accidents that really
deserve to be called pathalogic, are
the most frequent- attendants of individuals
of colossal stature.
"Of pnnrco tboro are PYfpntinnK * but
the individual of very great stature |
who is well constituted physically and
psychially is very rare. The rule is
precisely the reverse.
"Not taking bony deformations into
consideration, we can not but be
struck with the similarity of the general
symptoms that have been noted in
giants and in persons suffering from
acromegaly; headache, pain in the
tegs, sexual torpor," muscular weakness,
varicose veins, abundant sweat,
abnormal thirst, change of color of the
skin, troubles of the sense-organs, a
low physical and mental tone, etc.
In all these particulars, gigantism and
acromegaly tend to similarity.
"There are giants who never become
acromegalic; there are acromegalics
who are not of great stature. But in
numerous cases giants become acromegalic.
"Messrs, Brissaud and Henry Meige
have already insisted on the relationship
of these abnormalities. According
to P. Marie, acromegaly and gigantism
are not identical pathologic
states, but acromegaly is one of the
factors of gigantism: Nevertheless,
Sternberg's statistics show that half
the giants are acromegalic.
"There are very serious reasons for
believing that gigantism and acromegaly
are only two successive stages of
the same development'trouble. . . .
M. Meige maintains that gigantism
shows itself in the period of growth
and acromegaly when this period is
ended. In numerous observations the
appearance of the first symptoms of
acromegaly was preceded by a period
of over rapiil growth in stature, sometimes
gigantic. In other words, a
tendency to gigantism often precedes
acromegaly. Besides, when acromegaly
has once established itself it may
be that no appearance of gigantism
remains; the height has been reduced
by deformations of the vertebral column.
"Another argument is that there are
a great number of observed cases of
acromegaly when great height has
been shown to exist in ancestors or
relatives.
"Finally cases have been reported
where acromegaly, as is often the case
with gigantism, is hereditary.
"M. Meige believes that all these
observations tend to show that giants
are particularly apt to. become acromegalic.
Altho not fatal this destiny
nevertheless ought to be taken into
consideration, for, not to mention the
general disorders of which acromegaI
lies are sometimes victims, it is not
desirable that we should seek to proj
pagate a race with deformed faces,
| huge jaws, great fists and feet, and
above all, humped backs."?Translation
made for The Literary Digest.
This Man Dared Not Smile.
A naturalized citizen or tne unueu
States?D. Asadourian, an Armenian
?who is in business in Cleveland, was
locked up in Constantinople, Turkey,
charged with conspiracy. Through
the offices of some Turkish business
men he was released under $5,000
bonds, effective during his stay of
fifty days. He has just returned to
his home in Cleveland. Concerning
his experience, he said:
"I went there on business. As soon
as my presence became known the
officers came for me. They questioned
me, asking if I spoke the Armenian
language. This I denied, because had
I admitted it I am sure that I would
never have returned to America. The
Turks fear American Armenians. They
think that in America the people have
an advanced knowledge of high explosives,
which might be used to blow
up the Sultan. They suspected me of
being in sympathy with the Armenians.
After putting me m prison they
had some men come into my cell and
tell funny stories in the Armenian
language. They wanted me to betray
my knowledge of it by laughing. But
I didn't laugh, for had I smiled I
would not be here now to tell the tale.
The stories were very runny, but I
managed to keep a sober countenance
in spite of my wish to laugh."?Chicago

BEESWAX MINING.
Controversy Over Origin of Deposits?
* Indian Legends.
Mining for beeswax is an industry
confined to a small stretch on the
Pacific coast, and it exists nowhere
else as far as can be ascertained.
About thirty miles south of the mouth
of the Columbia river is Nehalem
bay and beach, and here is where the
beeswax miners are found. It is
hardly proper to call the deposits
mines, for they are scattered along
the beach in an uncertain fashion
and are probably not of nature's production.
The deposits are mined,
however, but in a manner unlike any
other kind of mining. They resemble
placer diggings more than any
other.
The beeswax miner uses a plow and
team of horses to work the alluvial
deposits at the mouth of the bay, and
sometimes goes at it with pick and
shovel. Occasionally some fine specimens
of the wax are found floating or
cast upon the sands of the beach.
How did the beeswax get there?
Authorities differ as to this. Samples
have been sent to men who claim
to be mineral experts, and they say
AWAAAVIIA AfVtAmrico
mat, IS yiuutiuiji u^utcnic, umci
known as mineral wax cr natural parafhne.
The paraffine made from petroleum
products is not much different
from that produced from beeswax,
gives a similar odor when melting,
and it is easy to see that a mistake
might be made. On the other hand,
beeswax experts insist that it is the
product of the bee, the characteristic
odor disappearing somewhat from long
exposure to the elements. When
found, the pieces have a corroded appearance,
like mineral ore. and the discoloration
extends through the substance
to some extent. This might
be expected, for much of it has been
tossed about by the waves or has been
burned in the beach sand for two or
three centuries.
The alluvial or made lands near the
entrance to the bay have trees standing
thereon which must be more than
a hundred years old, some being three
feet in diameter, and deposits of the
wax are found beneath the roots of
these trees in many instances. At
present the sea is making inroads on
the land and is cutting away the support
from quite a tract of lowland
covered with forest, and large quantities
of the wax are brought to view.
The Nehalem river is a large stream,
carrying an immense amount of water
in the winter season, and is constantly
changing the country in the
region of the delta. Sometimes the

Fish Act as Surgeons.
"Along the Caribbean Sea," said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, "it is a common thing to
see men and women and children sitting
on the banks of streams, with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
"They have a strange reason for
this strange conduct. They are much
troubled by a little insecta kind of
tick?which buries itself in their flesh,
and is very hard to dislodge; and so,
when the ticks have gotten in them,
they go to the water bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keep
quite still. The fish have a fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
gleaming human flesh they see, and
pulling the ticks out, devour them.
"In that manner the Caribs fish are
called upon to act as surgeons. Efficient
and painless surgeons they make
too."?Philadelphia Record.

Mountains at a cost of $14,000,000, in
order to shorten by twelve hours the
trip over the Central Pacific, is an illustration
of the immense resources
of cur great corporations and the wonderful
wealth of our county as a
whole. Were it a task proposed by
the national government all sorts of
complications would follow the introduction
of the proposal into the realm
of political discussion, but a board of
directors intrusted with power by
thousands of stockholders can order it
done, and th'e work is at once under
way. Modern inventions make the
task less formidable than was the fivemile
cut through the Hoosac tunnel a
generation ago, and the loss from accident
should also be much lighter.
The advantages gained by the railroad
should be tremendous. Not the
least important will be the abolition
of its forty-two miles of snow sheds
in the mountains.?Boston Transcript.

The Changed Grizzly.
There are numerous reliable statements
of grizzly bears having attacked
men, but nowadays the grizzly
does not seek out his human vic
ii >?i inniUKIo ctofomonft;
tims, as mere aic i.icuiui6 jn.ii.uiv-.>,
that his forefathers used to do.
Neither does he lie in wait, and,
pouncing upon a hunter, tear him into
bloody shreds in delighted fiendish- 5
ness, as the old-time stories used to
tell. The change in the grizzly's disposition
is likened by veteran hunters
to the change in the character of
the white cousin of the grizzly, the
polar bear of the Arctics. When the
stations for the Hudson Bay Company
were established the diaries of the
men there often referred to the fright
of attacks by polar bears. Many a
navigator in the Arctic seas has been
clawed and chewed to death by polar
bears. But for nearly a century the
polar bear has not been regarded ns
so very fierce, and nowadays it is looked
upon as a cowardly beast. Association
with armed men has modified the
polar beat's disposition.?Grizzly
Bear Lore, in Outing.
PHILANTHROPIC EDITORS. .
The Tocal Neu-?papcr Considered as ft
Benevolent Institution.
It seems singular that many persons
(Waertaiu the idea that newspapers are
J-Muted entirely for philanthropic motives,
says the Cambridge (Mass.)
Times, and that their columns should
be devoted to their especial benefit.
There is a class who think that advertising
is inserted more to fill up
space, and they consider that the publisher
of a local paper should be grateful
for the church notices they contribute.
In nine cases out of ten the notices
which these benign brothers and sisters
send are really nothing more nor
less than advertising matter, for which
they ask publication without cost,
while they at the same time derive a
revenue by this method of reaching
the people.
They enter a newspaper office and
place their notices of church fairs,
festivals and other entertainments on
the editor's table with as much grace
as though they were tendering a
twenty-dollar bill.
The up-to-date local paper employs
a staff of men to collect news which
will be of interest to all classes. These
men are hustlers, know their business
thoroughly, and present the news iu
the most concise and condensed form
possible.
Instead of the publisher being dependent
on personal or communicated
rnottov mi his pnlntrms hp is fre
quontlv at his "wits' ends as to how he
shall contrive to find space for legitimate
local news. lie is obliged to cull
material furnished by his newsgatherers
and present to the public what
will be for the greatest interest of all.
But it is not the news which supports
the newspaper, and the actual
returns from sales are but poor remuneration
for the time and patience
devoted to it. Therefore the revenue
received which sustains the plant is
derived through its advertising patronage.
The publisher sells the space in his
paper just as a merchant would dispose
of his wares, and reading notices
are received at a higher rate than display
advertising, there being no bargain
days in a newspaper office.
We know of no profession where
there is so much liberality shown as in
the newspaper business, and so little
appreciated by those who receive gratuitous
favors through its columns.?

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Hidden guilt is the most hurtful.
Justice seeks those who will not
seek mercy.
Blank cartridges will often make
the most noise.
Only the unworthy cause will use
unworthy means.
Every man reveals himself when he
describes another.
True humility bows lower as prosperity
rises higher.
The temperature of the heart cannot
be gaged by the head.
We are too altruistic over duties and
egotistic over rewards.
It takes two to make a quarrel, but
only one may make peace.
The only way to flee the vengeance
of sin is to fear its venom.
Selfishness is the cause of, sin aud
sacrificing service its cure.
Talk about "looking for opportunities
of doing good!" We may as well talk
about looking for firewood in a forest
or for water during a flood. The world
is full of such opportunities.?Ham's
Horn.Cannot
Compete With Newspapers.
The announcement in the current
number of a well-established ten-cent
. magazine that hereafter it was going
to drop the "special feature articles,"
increase its price and devote itself to
fiction and literature because the
monthly magazine could not compete
with the daily newspaper in publishing
articles of news interest is radical
enough to attract attention. The effort
to be timely in monthly publications
sometimes leads them to anticipate
the news as did some of the English
publications in their accounts of
the coronation of the King, which did
not come off as was planned. It is
said that one such publication which
had an elaborate account of the coronation,
written in advance, had to destroy
an entire edition when the King's
illness made a postponement of the
ceremony necessary. The American
magazines found, despite their preparohnno
fhflf +1ipvo tt:1s vpvv little left
for them in the Spanish-American War
after the newspapers had finished with
it. The fickleness of public interest In
news events is shown by the quickness
with which the reading public tired of
.descriptions of the eruption of Mont

A Life-Time Task.
All the letters which reach the chief
of a department of an extensive business
down town are noticeable subsequently
by the fact that the two-cent
stamp on the envelope has been neatly
cut out with scissors.
"Who cuts off all the stamps?" his
young woman secretary was asked.
"I do," she replied.
"What is the idea?"
"I am collecting them for a woman
who thinks she will get $10 for a million
of them," she explained.
; Promptly the calculation was made
on a basis of fifty letters daily. Alas!
,It was found that the young "woman

Catarrh is capable of changing all the
