pR-E L DTON INBRS, . ERAY2t TLe only man In Nebraska who ha' ruade any money this year has just beci ta-rested for counterfeiting. The estate of Senator Fair, it Is sail wil not pan out more than $15,000,000 Well, that's a pretty Fair estate. A New England man Is to be hanged for roasting h!s wife. He claims tha his wife roasted him until he had to dt it. Times are hard, but the fact tha: Chicago aldermen are quoted at onia $600 apiece in that cigarette deal tendi to discredit the whole story. "Good stuff well sold." Farmers wh9 live up to that motto are making money in crops that others produce at a losa Paste the words over your desk and think out the details for yourself. Ex-Senator James G. Fair, the Bo nanza King, Is dead. With his multi. millions he ranked no better than the wretchedest of the poor when the grim gleaner got ready to scoop him in. Emperor William finds the name oi Bismarck one to conjure with even when deprived of power by his majes ty's own act. Bismarck was father of tae German navy and chief architect of its colonial policy. The Emperor, in his speech asking money to put the navy on a proper footing, felt constrain ed to ask it in the name of the retired statesman, whose influence is still po tent even with his enemies. Thievery as a profession is accom )anied constantly by improvement in methods and by new qualities of ad dress, craft, alertness and daring. The other day four or five persons drove up in an express wagon in front of one of the finest residences In a Chicago sub urb and backed their wagon to the curb. They then entered the house and dis mantled the parlor, taking valaable paintings, bric-a-brac, ornaments, vases, rugs and other movable articles, which they loaded into the wagon and then drove away. The family were at dinner at the time, with the door be tween'the dining room and the parlor closed. Neighbors saw the wagon in front of the house and the thieves load. Ing their plunder Into it, but did not suspect that a daylight burglary was being committed In their presence. The robbers got completel away, leaving no trace for a successful pursuit. Perhaps, after all, the newspapei Judgment as to the value of a rich man's estates may not be so far out of the way, notwithstanding the popular be lief that the newspapers are prone to Lxaggerate in these matters. After the death of Jay Gould the newspapers kindly took a hand at the business of posting his books and striking a bal ance for the benefit of their readers. The result of this arithmetic was the -oncurrent journalistic opinion that Mr. Gould had left about $72,000,000 and some odd cents. Now it appears that the newspapers did not place too large a value on the estate, but, according to the figures of Appraiser McClure, un derestimated it by nearly $9,000,000, the actual value being $S0,964,580.79, instead of S72.000,000. If you see it In the newspapers you may set it down as a careful statement, based en an in vestigation as to all the ascertainable facts. Generally speaking, you might )et on it. Man may be able to withstand the charms of woman. He may shut his eyes to her beauty and turn a deaf ear to her brilliant talk. But when woman and Fate advance up~on him hand in hand, as It were, it is time for him to begin studying the marriage service. Miss Ancel Marston, of New York, as an illustration, had no chance of becom ing the wife of Edward Tallman until Fate took a hand in the game: Mr. Tallman did not even know her until be caught her pony one day when it tried to run away. Even then he gave the matter no further thought, and Fate had to trv it all over again. On the second trial the young lady sprain ed her ankle in front of the young man's home, and he anain camne to her rescue. Then he capitulated and pro posed. Procrastination seemed to be dangerous. In an endeavor to bring about the union Fate might make a slip and kIll the young lady or maim her in some way. As a matter of safety ~hey were marri!ed. The Chinese method of dealing with army onicers who lose battles or prove false to their trusts possesses some unique features of retributive justice. A dispatch from Shanghai states that General Wei Yu Kwei, who at thxe bat tie of Ping Yang failed to bring his troops upon the field in time to assist General Tso, has been beheaded at Pelt ing. There wtere no Inquiries as to the causes of his negligence, lie sImply did not arrive at the battle field and take part in the fight. Probably in or der that he may never have a chance to repeat the mistake the Emperor has ordered his head chopped off. The dis patch adds with grim humor that should tihe Japanese succeed In taking Port Arthur there is no0 doubt that LI Hung Chan'g wviil pay for it with his head. Whether Li will be responsible for the loss of Port Arthur does not ap pear to cut any Iigure In the matter. It was his business to prevent Its capture. This plan of dealing with those In corn mnand of a nation's armies. though a tri;Ie harsh. certainly has Its advant ages. Knowing that if he loses he is going to be executed is calculated to make a general light desperate battles. Even a dude has his uses in the world He is a standina example to -ther yonmg men of nhat they should avoid, THE HOUR OF PEACE Upon the doorstone sat the %n ife, The twilight falling. A.nd far below the whippoorwills Were softly calling. The sweet winds dropped upon their way Their honeyed plunder, And slow and clear the night built up Its house of wonder. Within the child dreamed deep. and saw Four angels keeping their gentle watch with drooping win;l About his sleeeping. While singing from the steep below, Where shadows slumbered, Her true love climbed, and in his heart His treasures numbered. Aknd sighing faintly to herself With purest pleasure, Life brimming at her lips to full, J'erflowing measure, She marveled if the happy earth, This summer even, Were not the paved work laid berore The courts of heaven. ' 4and yet a cold wind from the cloud To snatch in blowing the little breath between the lips So lightly flowing; A pebble under foot where sheer The rock descended Ah, Fate! What slender chances held Her heaven suspended! -Harper's Bazar. )N CHICAGO LIMITED It Is the twilight time of the busiest -laddest, most hurried day in all the year-the day before Christmas. The scene is the Grand Central depot, that portal through which, in the morning, pour the countless thousands who are is the sands of the shore in the midst of the great city; through which at night these countless thousands depart, and the city knows not that they have gone. On this evening the crowd Is a glad and a merry one, and though there is much pushing and jostling every one Is good-natured; for, indeed, is not this the eve of gladness-that gladness which is the touch of nature making the whole world kin? In the waiting-room of that roa6 which leads to Chicago, on the edge of the crowd forcing its way through the narrow gateway leading to the limited train, is a little lady, who to a keen eyed observer shows a notable lack of the holiday atmosphere. She Is fault lessly tailor-made as to garbing, she Is gloved and booted and hatted in the most exactly correct of the smart styles; and she carries a small handbag which looks as assured and self-con tained as does the little lady herself. She waits until she can pass the gate without being crowded, then shows her ticket, walks through, finds her car, hands her little bag to the- porter say ing, "Section No. 9," and is presently romfortably saeted facing the engine. Altogether a very well regulated and systematic little lady, but evidently a little lady who either does not know it is Christmas eve or, knowing, is for some reason trying to forget It. As the train moves out of the great depot and the little lady watches the lights tiashing rapidly by, two great tears Ireep out of her beautiful eyes and rleam for a moment on the veil that falls from fhe jaunty traveling hat. Soon dinner is announced in the dining rar, and the little lady walks calmly through the traIn, eats her dinner, then as calmly returns to her place. As the porter passes she glances at the unoccupied section opposite and 'uquires pleasantly: "Porter, is No. 10 not taken ?" "Reserved for a party at hn Milss," is the reply. "Then I may sit there for a while and watch the river," says the little lady, and she takes the scat- by the window and looks out across the Hudson and watch~es th~e lights coming out one boy one along the Palisades. After a time she return to her own place, takes a novel from her sachel and settles her self to its perusal, but by and by she discovers that it is all about a husband and wife who become estranged, and then make it all up and live happy ever more, and the little lady signifies her disapproval by closing the book with a vicious bang and saying, after a mo Iment's thought, "Nev-er!" She then cailed the porter and had her sectior I repared for the night. Ere long she had drifted to that land where dreams take posseslon of us, and whlether she would or not her dreams were all about a tall, dark man with merry eyes, which could look se vere, and with a pleasant voice which called her Edith, and all through the diream was a little dog. a skye terrier, for which she did not seem tc care at all, but which seemed to have a gieat deal to do with everythng-and then r pleasant voice said briskly: "Porter, is No. 10 ready?" And the voice somehow seemed to go with the tail, dark man in the dream, and she half awoke with a dry little sob, and mur-mu red sleepily, "Never!" and went back tc her dreams until the sunshine of Christmas morning came through the curtins and brought her again to the world of real things. As she emerg ed from her seclusion to complete her toilet she discovered that the opposite section had been made up and the oc eupant hadJ departed to the smoking 'ompartment. A dress suit case and a traveling coat were lying on the seat. As her eye was eagh by the initials on tho dress suit bos her heart seemed to stand still, then she iooked hastily at the coat and gasped, "It Is Philip," then, becomuing conscious of her disheveled co ndition. she made a frantic rush for the end of the car. When she appeared again she was as fresh and blooming as a rose. Her section meanwhile had been made up, and she settled herself comfortably and gazed out at the affd in her eyes was a lcok or expee taucy. Presently she turned to find a tah. dark man coming down the aisle to. ward her, and then she heard a voice with a.wealth of love in its tones say, "Edith," and the voice was that of the tall, dark man in her dream. Then the pretty face hardened and the bright eyes grew cold and the little head lifted haughtily as she said: "Sir, you havf made a mistake." The tall man paused a moment, look Ing down at the averted face, and then iaid, softly: "Edith, will you not come 'o breakfast with me and talk it over?" "Certainly not," was the reply, it frosty tones; "I prefer to breakfas1 alone," and with that she rose and stalked past him directly away from th4 'ining car. It was humiliating to be obliged to retrace her steps and pasi him again, but she did it bravely, trying n->t to see that he sat with his head >ressed close against the window. Whei after breakfast, she returned to he) teat, her neighbor was not to be seen. The great train rolled on, and the ca. wheels whirred and sung their Christ roas carol, but to the little lady in see tnoD 9 they brought no thought 01 "peace on earth, good will toward men.' She had taken another book from hei satchel, and appeared greatly absorbei in it. A very dear old lady in the see tion back of her had been watching al ihe proceedings, and now, glancing over the shoulder of the little lady shi noted that the leaves of the book were uever turned, and she said to herself v Ith a kindly smile: "Poor children! E lovers' quarrel." Soon the book boJ name through the train with his armful of books; .he-paused at section 9, au laid a volume of poems on the seat be s:ide the little lady, as he said: "Th< gertleman in the smoker said I was t iand this to you, ma'am." Edith glanced at the book, then .ou, of the window for a moment, then agair at the book. She saw 'that a leaf was turned down, and her hand went slowl3 out toward the little volume, and the very dear old lady in the next seal looked on and smiled. Edith turned tc the indicated page, and found a verse marked; it was part of a poem that the pleasant voice of the tall, dark man had mwany times read to her, and now 11 came to her as a message, and this wat .ie message: Alas, how easily things go wrong!- I A word unsung in a lover's song, There comes a mist and a blinding rain -nd life is never the same again. Alas, how hardly things go right! A storm may come in a summer's night., The stars will lade in the gloom away, And the summer's night is a winter's day. .Sne read the verse softly through, and a tender light came into her eyes; then, as the book dropped to her lap, she saw something was written on the flyleaf, turning to It she read: "Edith, from Philip; merry Christmas," written it the strong, manly hand that had writ ten her so many words of love. If Phil ip could have come to her then all would have been well; but such is the perverseness of fate we do not knowi wl en to "come back and be forgiven,' and in the smoking compartment Phil Ljp sat, glowering out of the window. tv'sting his mustache fiercely and say 'ng to himself: "Poor little girl, she is awfully hard with me, and all about a beggarly dog. Confound the beast, anyway. I always lid hate little dogs!" And the car wheels still whirred ant sunig and all their song was "Peace on earth;" and at every station the passen gers leagng the train, laden with their plasant-looking parcels, were met and greeted by those who needed them te complete their Christmas circie, and the train hands were greeted by their friends in passing, and everyone was happy and full of holiday cheer save only the little lady in section 9 and the tali, dark man in the smoking compart ment. Philip made another effort at uncheon time; he came slowly down the aislc. and said: "Edith, shall I get you some luncheon?' The little lady, see is:g him approaching, had seized her novel, and, in response to his question, glanced coldly up from its pages just long enough to say, with extrem' rostiness: "Thank you, no." Philip noticed the book of po'ems OL the seat, apparently untouched, but he gained some trifling comfort from also noting that the novel in Edith's hands was upside down. He returned to the smoker, and Edith, throwing her novel pttishly down, sat gazing out of the window. Presently she had the porter bring her a cup of tea, and Just as she had finished it she felt a light touch on e' shoulder as a sweet voice said: "My dear, don't you want to come and talk o a tired old lady ? After they had chatted a while the. very dc'ar old lady said: "I have been witching you all day, my little girl, and you must pardon an old lady if she asks you some questions. Is the tall young :an your lover?" 'No," said Edith, "I am sorry to say he is my husband." "Sorry!" said the old lady; "oh no, my dlear, not that. And I am sure he is still your lover as well as your hus-' hand. Don't you want to tell the old lady all about it? I have had a lot of experience, and perhaps I can help Edith looked into the very dear ok. mee and then said: "Oh. thank you so :uch! Yes, I will tell you. But it is too late to help us. I can never forgive And then she told to this sympathetie listener the whole story; of her mnarri mge six months before, of her dear little hme in New York, of her happy life wth Philip until-and here she paused, w ith a slightly shamefaced expression -well, until she had one day spent an rbsurd sum for a fancy terrier. Philip had objected, half laughingly, half seri ousl. +hon things ommenced to go xT ry. Tae little dog carried off hil !p- slippers, chewed up his razor strop Lnoeked his silk hat about the floor, an Ie d done a thousand other annoyin; little things: and every time anythin l appened Philip was disagreeable, ano Edith had retorted; and go the little rb *n the lute widened. Then there came a day-and here th, eyes of the little lady flashed-whez Philip, in a burst etf temper, had said "Edith, either t-at dog leaves thb house or I do," and Edith had-in i fine temper also-answered: "Do a! you please. Dandy shall not go." An( Philip had I~acked a sachel and left and all that was a week ago. Editl had waited two days, becoming mor alarmed and less bad-tempered all tht time, and had then paid a visit to i cousin in Brooklyn, where she remain ed until deciding to go, on the day be fore Christmas, to her mother in Chi !ago. What Edith could not tell, becaus, she did not know it, was that Philip after three miserabie days at a hotel had returned, penitent and loving, t( the little apartment, to find Editl gone, the servant gone-even thi wretched little cause of all the troublE gone- and not a word of any sort foi him. He had gone back to the hotel He spent several days arrainng busi iess mnatters, then went to Albany tc consult his married sister, who said "Edith has probably gone home tc Chicago; I would go there at once.' And that was how Edith and Philir happened to be passengers on the lim. 'ted on Christmas Eve. The very dear old lady listened with out comment until Edith had finished. then she laughed a merry little laugh as she said: "And so it was all about a little dog; what a very inadequate cause for so much trouble! By the way, my dear, what did you do with the dog." The corners of the pretty mouti twitched a little as Edith said, "I gave it to my cousin in Brooklyn." Edith and the very dear old lad3 looked at each other a moment, then they laughed together, until the tears stood in their eyes, and Edith hasten ed to say, "You see, it wasn't the dog entirely, It was the. principle I wat thinking of." "Nonsense," said the old lady, "yot thought of nothing but having your own way, and from my point of view, you will be a very lucky young person if that fine-looking, manly Philip will take you back at any price. Think of weighing a miserable little dog in the balance against the love of such a man! Why, my dear, I could shake you." "But," faltered 3dith, "do you think a woman shoulffgive up everything to her husland?" "Certainly not," said the old lad3 'and no true man will ask her to. You give up much, of course, and you ught to. Sacrifice is the essence of true love, and it is the essence of sel fishness as well, because you are far appier in sacrificing to one you love than you are in withholding. Now, ny advice is, make it up with your Philip as soon as ever you can, and ive happy ever after, and always re nember how near your happiness ame to going to the dogs. And now, o you realize that -it is dusk? Let us o to dmnner together." As they were coming out of the din ng car they passed a tall, dark man at oe of the tables; the little lady, lead ng the way, passed him with her eyes straight ahead, but as the very deaf old lady reached him she paused for e nonit as she whispered: "Do not worry, it is coming out al -igl." Philip looked his thanks, then turned o his dinner with more hopefulness han he had felt in many days. A little later Edith and her new riend still sat side by side talking, ad the wheels were singing and hum ing in merry meter, for the train was 'aking up time. "We shall soon be in Chicago now," said the very dear old lady; "will you speak to him before you leave the rain?" "Oh. 1 think not," said Edith, and hen added, with a little return of the aughty manner: "He must come to Th'le old lady looked at Edith a mo :ent indulgently, and said: "Don't 'vait too long." Soon they were gathering up theit small traps, and the train was run ning into the city. The wheels seemed now to have ended their song and to e saying: "Well, if you have not had merry Christmas it's not our fault; ve've sung to you all day long.". Just as Edith was pulling down he1 eii and drawing on her gloves Philip urried iin, threw his coat over his rm. picked up his sachel, and without glance at her left the car. Edith looked startled, then turned toward the old lady, who, having made a ihrewd guess as to Philip's plans, said: "Well, my dear, good-by and God bless -o! I think you may have a merry Christmas after all; now run along nd get your cab," and the very dear old lady watched her tenderly as she urried out Into the busy station. Just s Edith found a desirable looking cab she noticed Philip almost at her side, and in her agitation she got into the. a without giving any orders to the driver. Philip stepped quickly up.' hMudd hIs sachel to the man, saying, Dive to the Auditorium Hotel," anid turned toward the cab. "But, Philip, my trunks," gasped Edith. "You darling," said Philip, as he umped in and slammed the door And the cab rolled away into the night-New York Commercial. An Atchison (Kan.) wor'an's poodlf og sports a glass eve.
