negotiations that may result in their extension.

Slate DfiMirtmrnt Hopeful of Paring the Way for n Development of Trade with the Orient. WASHINGTON, Nov.L-Forthe past year ir,vr instructions from the President, the guv L'Tnrtment has been quietly negotiating tor the extension of American interests In Chir.-i. The officials of the State Dejart:rc:.t refuse to make any statement rcl.it ivo to the measure of success that has at;. their efforts, though it is admitted thu tho subject so far is still open, al-tiicu-'i the prospects of ultimate success ar. r -ard' d as highly encouraging. A r.v, n.nunt ofllcial in high station, who Y.as lar--'- experience In Chinese questions, U the a-.ithority for th-e statement that our kovt.rr.nv r.t does not apprehend any injry to American interests from the politi .il rnvvi-? that are being made in China. Or. the contrary the conditions are such ir. t: Ftowery Kingdom that there la the le?t r-a.-on to believe that so far from refr.ur.ir.g the operations of the United fat..-. in the matter of trade extension in t:. it su.irtrt the Kuropean nations which fca.c. ur.der one or another pretext, seized x,- .. j :rtion ot the Chinese coast would ec: , ..ly welcome our advent as calculated if m aerially assist their own efforts to tr.uk down Chinese conservatism and t-. :; up vast markets in the interior of Ci.i .n to trad of civilized nations. The only jo'.-ible source of apprehension, it is j iir.tt i out, would be some action in the lu:;:ri on the part of leaseholders. This r.:-!.t tend to restrict our freedom of trade cr. l even this probably would be accomI i not by direct means, such as prol.;::i n of entry at seaports or discrimlT. duties but rather by means of vexatl . ;s r-gulations, and the imposition of c ' -'a l 5 to the control of the railroads t i i ilitical machinery of the country. Vi.it ;init. however, would be remote, in t v j.; lament of the speaker. At pn.-sf.nt both Russia and Germany, xvi.vh have ben held up as resentful of the l'r.;i ?ftate trade successes in China, are t :i r-- (.rd as rather adding to the list cf t: ay ports and thus opening new doors f r tr:i! than of endeavoring to close out the United States and England from tho 1 ; t i. r cf China. This is notably true in the ( ai- of tlie German concession at Klaoi.w a, where the German authorities have c; :.ol the port of Tsing-Tau, adjoining thv town of Ktao-Chow, and have done tv- ryihing to facilitate the extension of tr.i le into the Interior. On the north coast, J:u ia haj done the same thing at Talien"U'an and even granted foreigners-the'right to ',-articipate in the municipal government. These concessions and the leases were not taken up by Kuropean nations without inquiry by the United States government as to how our interests were to be affecte 1, end that fact was disclosed clearly in the .i:t annual message to Congress of preside nt McKinley. The President then said that ho has not been an Indifferent .spectator of the extraordinary events that had iWn transpiring in the Chinese empire whereby portion- of the maritime provinces I issed under Kuropean control, and steps have hren taken to see that our interests vre not prejudiced by any exclusive treatment by the new occupants. lie had become assured on that qoint, however, so that there was no occasion for the UniPcd spates tow become an ctor on the scene. ur large interests, our extensive Pacific coast line, and our position among nations pave us an equitable- claim to consideration und friem.ly treatment, and it would be the film of the United States government to unserve our larpre interests by all means proper and in line 'with the constitutional jioHcy of our government. The President then announced that so far as the recent acquisitions of Germany. ItusJsla and Great Britain were concerned they would be open to international commerce and if it appeared that there was ro discriminatory treatment of American citizens and their trade, either now or hereafter, then the desires? of our government would be realized. These statements were m ule by th- President after the latest forciqn acquisitions in China, and" the' negotiations which the State Department is now pursuing are simply Intended to carry Mit the President's aim and insure not only for tho present, but for the future, free access for American commerce to the interior of China.

A special to the TinvcS-Herald from Washington says: "'The Jifayetto souvenir dollars will bo issued from Washington or Chicago between the 1st and Kth of December,' said Robert J Thompson, secretary of tho Lafayette me morial commission, to-day. Mr. Thompson la in Washington to see that the coins will to ready for distribution before the holi days, and said in an interview that this had been practicaJly assured. lle thought the liew dollars would be distributed from Chi cago, though this is not finally settled There will be i,0X) of them, and the regular pricei of each will be $2, but others will sell for a much greater sum.

" 'The school children, who have given many thousand dollars to the Lafayette fund, will be given llrat chance and thou sands of coins will bo sent them. The new dollar will be unique in its way and something unlike any other piece of money ever lrtsued by this country. In the first place It will be different from any oth.r on account of having two meeLilLIons on one side. These will represent Washington and Lalajette. In this respect it will be the only coin in modern timed having a double me- : iilion on one sade. Another feature will 1 Its representation of two countriesTrance und th-e United States.

LOANS ON COLLATERAL IMPORTANT niLIXG AS TO TIICIR LIA III LIT Y TO PAY HEVEM'E, CommiMloner Holdn that n Tax Accrues Under the Lavr of 1 SOSCase Taken Up from Philadelphia. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-CommissIoner Wilson, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, hns decided that when banks loan money without taking promissory notes, and specified collaterals are pledged as security for a certain and definite sum of money, as evidenced by entries on banks loan books, etc., a tax accrues. The question came up In a case from Philadelphia, When a specific loan is desired, the borrower either signs an application for a loan or makes a verbal request for a loan, at the same time submitting collaterals which he desires to pledge as security for the loan. Upon approval by 'the proper official of the bank, to whom the borrower has applied for a loan, the paying teller either gives the borrower a cashier's check for the amount of the loan or the borrower's account is credited with the amount of the loan. The collaterals which the borrower has pledged are placed in an envelop?, on the outside of which said collaterals are listed. The loan, in detail, is entered on the loan book of the bank, and such other entries are made on the books as are necessary. This, It is said, is a general method pursued by the banks in Philadelphia, as ell as by the banks in New York and elsewhere. In some instances no application for a loan is signed, and the collaterals are not 'Isted on the outside of the envelope In which they are placed, but in all cases the collaterals pledged for any loan are either listed In detail, on the outside' of the envelope In which they are placed or on the loan book of the hank making the loan, but in no instance is a promis sory note used. In a letter to the revenue agent at Philadelphia, Commissioner Wilson says: "You are advised that in determining whether there are any taxable features in the manner of making leans as herein described, the 'continuing agreement' should not be considered, as It does not refer to any single transaction between the bank and the borrower, but merely defines the relative rights of tho bank and the borrower. It is not a pledge, and Is, therefore, not subject to taxation as such, nor does it embody a power of attorney. Under the paragraph of Schedule A. beginning with the words 'Mortgage or pledge. a tax is imposed on any pledge of personal property where the same shall be made as security for the payment of any definite and certain sum of money lent at the time, and this office holds that when certain collaterals, as evidenced by the indorsement on envelopes hereinbefore referred to. or by the entries on the loan book of the banker, both are pledged by the borrower to secure a certain and definite sum of money, this pledge Is subject to taxation under the paragraph of Schedule A, above referred to, at the rate of 25 cents for each or fraction thereof In ercess of $1,000 of the amount secured." A CLKRGYJIAVS "BREAK." Told n Good Story to n Man "Who Knew All About It. Washington Post. The Rev. Dr. Herrick, U. S. A., retired, who is known and beloved by soldiers and civilians alike because of his tender heart and his kindly wit. has this story to tell of an experience of his down at Fort Monroe. He was staying at a hotel there last spring, I think it was and among the persons who made his acquaintance were two gentlemen. One of them was a Methodist clergyman from somewhere in Kentucky, and as his companion had a clerical look and seemed so great a friend to him. Dr. Herrick naturally concluded that the companion, too. was a Methodist. The mention of the town where the Methodist preacher lived reminded Dr. Herrick of a story. "Do you know Lew So-and-So out there in Kentucky, the famous horseman?" he asked. "Yes," was the answer. The Reverend Doctor smiled his kindly smile. "I heard a story about him the other day," he said: "It seems that besides being a breeder of fine horses, he was a noted character on the race track. Betting and racing were passions with him. The time came, however, when he experienced a change of heart. He was converted and Joined a peculiar sect called Campbelllte. or Christians, a church of very recent origin. For several months he kept him to the strait and narrow way, but one day he happened to be driving a very fast horse, when he passed a race track. He drove in, and despite his good resolutions, he fell from grace and presently sent his horse around the track in the fashion of his unregenerate days. Somebody saw him and reported him. He was summarily turned out of the church. A day or two afterward a friend met him and aked him if the dismissal from the church had not been a great b'.ow to him. Lew was unexpectedly cheerful. He was not at all cast down. . . . . " 'No.' said he, I think it served me right. I ought to have known better than to join a scrub church with no pedigree.' " The Methodist preacher laughed immoderately. His companion smiled, but in an embarrassed way. The Methodist finally dried his eves. "And now. Dr. Herrick." said he. "I want you to know my friend, the Rev. Mr. So-and-So," flapping his companion on the back. "He's the man that turned Lew out of the church." PHYSICAL PAIN AS A LEYELUll. An Old SurReon Say that Mental Suffering la -Much Ennler to Rear. New Orleans Times-Democrat. -One frequently hears it said." remarked a veteran surgeon, chatting in his oflice yesterday, "that mental suffering is a great deal harder to bear than physical suffering, but the people who make the assertion are usually people who know very little about bodily pain. They have a vague Idea that a capacity for mental anguish indicates a tine, high-strung spirit, while there is something gross about a sensitiveness to physical discomfort. Such a theory is pure rubbish, and the facts in a general way are quite to the contrary. "it is your thoroughbred, your refined, highly intellectual person who is most susceptible to brute pain, and you rough, illiterate, dull-witted fellow who is driven to distraction by a tormented mind. I suppose the explanation is that the stupid, uneducated man Is unable to bring any philosophy to bear on his troubles, while on the other hand the nerves of the cultured chap have been sharpened by civilization. But ts far as my observation goes, pain, physical pain, is the great leveler. Be the form what it may hunger, thirst, exhaustion or tho agony of wounded fiesh a given amount of It will reduce all men to about the same status. I got my first lessons in that line when I was a soldier in the civil war. and I have been getting them ever since at the operating table and the bedside. I beg to doubt whether there is a sing e human being who can retain his or her ret illtv of character under long-continued bodily "distress. Oh. yes; 1 know what you are going to say that there are Invalids and cripples whose temper had been only sweetened by years of torture. Such capes prove nothing, nothing at all. They think they nre suffering continually, but they are not. There are long intervals of relief and quietude. "Take my word for it that pain destroys moral fibre as surely as fire destroys wcod, and that, by the way, was what made the rack uch a great success as an instrument of Judicial Inquiry In the good old days. An industrious Judge with a well-made rack never had any reason to lack corroboratory evidence."

SOLDIERS IN THE SUDAN

THE BLACK WARRIORS OF THE BRITISH AR31Y OF OCCUPATION. They Ak Their White Officer to Break Spells When They Believe They Have Been Bewitched. Cornhlll Magazine. We were a curious polyglot community: the superior officers British, the inferior of many races. Tall, soldlerl'ke Kurds, their wild natures tempered by tie habits of discipline and subordination; fair-haired Albanians, proud of the land of their birth and professing a certain skill in arms; descendants of the Mamelukes; burly Turks; subtle, town-bred Egyptians, as well as their heavier fellaheen brethren; black Sudanese, who had risen from the ranks; Circassians and admixtures of most of these races. The men were either fellaheen or black Sudanese, who many of them had been formerly Dervish riflemen, and had fought against us time and again, had 9een the fall of Khartum, the destruction of Dicks's ill-fated army, the debacle at Baker's Teb. and many other stricken fields. The fellaheen, patient, enduring, oxllke men, do not call for much comment; though capable of being worked up to a high state of efficiency and discipline, and though sec-, ond to none as workers, they are not by nature soldiers. Their hearts are in their native villages on the banks of the Nile; they look forward longingly to the day of their release from military service, when they may return to their village, tend their cattle and their date trees, look to their waterwheels. and slumber through the heat of the day in some ehady corner. With the black it is far different? He is by nature a fighting man and a soldier and loves fighting for fighting's sake. We had representatives of many tribes in our ranks, all with their tribal characteristics: Trusty Shlllooks, long, lithe Dinkas, rugged Nubas. Furs, of whom it is said that every man is a thief (no pun is Intended on the Latin equivalent) and every woman no better than she need be. Then there were members of the cannibal tribes. Nyum-nyum and Fertlte, and men from far Baglrma and from the headwaters of the Congo. Some of these men had been In the old Khedlvlal army, and had even fought against us in the ranks of Arabl's army at Tel-el-Keblr and had helped to work the guns at Alexandria, and they had almost to a man led lives teeming with adventure and of the deepest Interest. There was one old black officer in a regiment with which I served, by name. All Glfoon. of the Shlllook tribe. He had been captured by the Callaba slavetraders as a boy, had been enlisted In the Khedlvlal army, had gone with the contingent sent to help the French arms in Mexico, and now wears on his breast, in addition to his numerous other decorations, the Mexican medal tnd a gold medal given by the Emperor of the French "for valor." Another officer in the same battalion, named Omar, had accompanied Stanley through darkest Africa, and for hit tervlces he was promoted from the ranks. Poor Omar! He was an untamable savage, with a "hopeless liking for strong liquors, and I am afraid he was of little use as an officer; among his belongings were two pigmies. With reference to these pygmies I remember once or twice In the Sudan coming across slaves who. from their diminutive stature and physique, must have been very nearly related to those strange dwarfed inhabitants of the central African forests. CURIOUS SUPERSTITIONS. Our blacks were full of curious superstitions, with, strange to say, an implicit belief In their white officers' powers as averters of the evil effects of magic. Often have. I known a stalwart . nafar (private) come before his commanding officer in the orderly room with tho complaint that he had been bewitched, and go away quite happy with a letter to the Hakeem to give him some medicine to break the charm. Often was one told on the rifle range by a man that his rillo was bewitched, and one broke the suppostd spell by loading it for him, or by firing a round or two. I was always curious to find out exactly how the inhabitants of the Sudan regarded the Mahdi, whether he was looked on ns an impostor or as a prophet who had had bad luck; but it was very difficult to get a decided expression of opinion. "Who knows?" was the general answer. My black bugler Faragalla, an ex-Dervish, was the most expansive. "Wallahi," he would say; "he was a great man. He knew how to direct his own men's bullets straight, and how to turn his enemies' bullets to harmless rain. If he had lived, things would not have been as they are now." "What about Abu Klea?" I said. "He was not present; he never saw defeat!" was the reply. This was so true that I changed the subject, and p.sked him what he thought of Osman Digna. "Ottman Digna?" he said. "Ottman Digna? He works by magic; he writes in the sand; and if the letters spell victory he remains, but if they spell . defeat he goes." The black is an extremely uxorius man. and In the Kgyptian army they were all allowed to many, and a certain percentage were placed on the married strength and received an allowance for the maintenance of their wives and families. With his wile and family near him, the black is absolutely happy. The woman waits upon him, cooks for him the savory messes his soul loveth, and ministers generally to his comfort: the children are his heart's delight, and he never seems so happy as when he is playing with them. The surest way to a black man's heart is through his family, and with judicious allowance for his feelings In this direction he is the easiest creature In the world to manage and control. It is lo be hoped that in the "Black Empire" of the future no man will think himself strong enough to arbitrarily sever the black troops from their families. At Wadi Haifa, Assouan and Suakln the black regiments had their married lines outside their cantonments, arid as soon as parade was over they were to be seen hurrying off to them. A certain number in each company were allowed to sleep there every night, and on Fridays, the Mussulman's Sunday, the "hareinat lines" held high carnival. The tomtoms banged unceasingly. The men sat on the shady sides of the houses, clad in snowy shirt and drawers, with their families round them, and in the evening there was nearly held a "dilueka," or dance, the members of each tribe Joining together and performing their tribal dance, as a rule a curious, posturing shuttle descriptive of the various incidents of love and war. As the evening wore on the fun grew fast and furious, the torches flared, the drums banged, the dancers shouted their war cries, until at last the bugles sounded "Hghts out," the revelry dieil away rind these happy savages went off to bed like tired children, to wake on the next day ready for the military routine of a new week. THE WOMAN QUESTION. When the forward-movement commenced in the beginning of 1SS3. of course the wives and families had to be left behind. But as we advanced into the Dervish country their black sisters flocked from slavery to Join the troops, and as the Dervishes retreated or were defeated they left numbers of women and children behind them, among whom our troops discovered many sisters, mothers, and even former wives! The woman question soon became a serious one. The Mahometan law allows a man a plurality of wives; our men had r.ot seen their lamliles for months, and were anxious to form i.ew ties; many women had died at Assouan and Haifa in the cholera epidemic and there were corresponding widowers in cur ranks, ripe for consolation. So, wisely enough, men, under certain conditions, were allowed to marry, and soon little villages sprang up around all the cantonments. The ::.en who had permi.sIon took unto themselves their dusky brides, and in many cases adopted the small Dervish children, and all went merry as a marriage bell. The little villages built of dried grass or mud were kept .-crup-ulously clean; military police were kept responsible for order, and the most prominent lady was elected sheikha, and witn toe assistance bf the oldest noncommissioned officer and some black commissioned officer settled all disputes: and never were there more orderly, law-abiding communities. When the troops left the Dongoia province for further operations south, the grass widows were sent down ,to Wadi Haifa to Join the other families, and it is to be hoped that by now all have been happily reunited at Fashoda. Khartoum, or wherever the breadwinner may happen to be stationed. " I mention all this because one's thoughts cannot help turning to Uganda and to poor Thurston, who we all knew and liked so much; and with the opening up of a vast black emnire and the employment of numbers of black troops. I think that a word in season is not amiss, and that a useful moral may be deduced as to the great secret of dealing with, black troop, llewpect hla 6ns

great weakness sive him a wife and family and home life, and he is the most genial, contented, easily-managed being in the world; deny him this and he rapidly becomes restless and discontented, spends his leisure in wandering about in search of adventures, brawls and loots in the villages, and gives endless trouble. Sjme of our blacks were very good shots but the majority were below the average of English soldiers and the Egyptians were not such good shots ne the blacks. At the battle of Firket a company of camel corps was lining a ridge of rocks, with a corresponding ridge held by the Dervishes some three or four hundred yards to their front. A black sergeant named Capsoon had found a sort of natural embrasure in the rocks, and. calling an English officer's attention to his proweps. he shot down Dervish after Dervish a? he showed himself. The company then charged the

j Dervish position and cleared them out. and the fruit of Capsoon'a skill at arms stood revealed; hi3 bag was nearly a dozen killed. This almoin equals what one has heard of Boer markmanshlp. SARAH WINNEMUCCA. A Plate "Prince" Who Fooled Eastern Philanthropists. New York Tribune. "The whole story of our Nevada princess." said the old Comstocker, mingling tho ingredients in their proper proportions, "might not be seemly to narrate. And anyway, I don't know it all only the sagebrush end of it; what she did back East here was known to us only through hearsay and through the bank notes which the lady brought back with her for the principal purpose of adding vivacity and Eastern capital to the games with which we indulged ourselves at Virginia City and Carson, to say nothing of such trifling places as Reno and Elko. What I want to emphasize is that we didn't have to wait for this here annexation to equip us with kings and queens in the American system. Of course, we've taken a lot of Liliuokalanis and Kaplolanls and Kaiulanls and such like. But long before that we had kings and queens; and as for Jacks and aces, there was never a superfluity, but if you were careful in skinning over your hand you'd find them often enough to make the game interesting. "Out on the Lode we were proud of the Princess Sarah Winnemucca, She was nothing but a Piute, the same as Soldier Pete, who was always loafing outside of the Laurel Palace, but she caugnt right .on to the needs of our commonwealth in a way th"vt showed she was pretty nearly white. There wasn't one of us along the Lode, from the Tuscarora at one end to North Belle Isle at the other, who didn't have something up his sleeve waiting for Eastern capital to come along and develop it. But the Princess Sarah used to go back East and rustle up the capital fit to beat the band. "I remember once when she srnt hnrlr frnm I " O - 4V1 , a trip East she waltzed into Jim Ornsdorff's back room as fine as though she'd Just come off Fifth avenue, and I guess she had. She had shoes that pinched her feet, and when it comes to feet you must remember that the Princess Sarah spent most of her time on the range. She had a parasol that would put the aun out. Her bonnet was a corker. Her suit of clothes was all llk, but I won't attempt to tell you what it looked like; there wasn't anything in the State of Nevada like it. When she came in I moved up so's she could get a chair up to. the table. First thing she did was to call for some mescal, and she tilted out four fingers, and Sara's fingers weren't what you might call taper. Of course, Jim Ornsdorff gave her what she called for; she was sure paj-, and the United States law didn't go in her c;xse, being old tillicums with the secretary of the interior and having showed more than once that she could get an inconvenient Indian agent transferred. So whatever Sarah wanted to drink she could have. "It was old Sandy Bowers's deal, and ho dealt a hand to Sarah -as well as the rct of us, for he knew that was what she was there for. it was $10 ante and" $3) a play, and Sarah got out her roll of this here paper green money you all use back East here; of course, being money, it was perfectly good in Nevada, only a little unusual. Sarah sweetened it a little and mnde it a j hundred to draw cards, and everybody uiuppea out except sanely Bowers and me. I took two cards, holding up three eights, but I did no better in the draw. Sarah stcod pat, and old man Bowers took four; he was so rich that he could play just that kind of a fool game. I dropped out, for I knew the game was going to be so rich that I'd have to take something for my blood. "Sarah and Sandy went ahead, and it wasn't long before there was $3,000 in crisp green paper money on the table, with the same in real yellow money to keep the wind from blowing it away. When all her money was in sight Sarah shoved in a certificate for ten thousand shares of Yellow Jacket. Then Sandy said, 'That's good,' and 1 guess the Indian Rights Association back in Philadelphia woUid have felt good to see how this Minnehaha of the t-agebrush was getting the best of the paleface. You bet that block of stock was good; Yellow Jacket was worth money those days. But that was only the beginning. Two days later I saw the princess pulling out of Carson on a blind baggage, where the law says Indians can ride free. Her money was gone, her good clothes were gone, a pair of- teamsters brogues were good enough for her feet and a condemned army overcoat was dressv enough to suit her taste. She'd blown it ail In and felt happy. "it didn't matter to her; she could always get more where that came from. After a few days I got a marked paper from my old mother back in Massachusetts. There was a full account of the interesting address delivered before the First Church by Miss Sarah Winnemucca, the princess of the Plutes out in Nevada. Sarah had been to one of these Indian schools, so I guess she could make a preity good speech. She told about the good work she was doing among her people. Instructing them in the arts of civilization, and wound up with an appeal for schools, and particularly to buy tnem farming implements. That seemed to strike rural Massachusetts: but. Lord! think of anybody farming in Nevada! That's the game she worked all through the East. As long as she lived she went back to the States and carried on that same educational and farming implement tour with great success. My mother wrote out to me to be sure to do all 1 could to help the poor Piutes along. She said it was so sweet to hear the princess sing hymns In her native language. Lordee! how Sarah must have worked the cause of home missions to get them to stand Piute singing!" YOUNG 3IEN AND GAMBLING. Detective IMnkerton's Views on a. Prevalent Evil. Saturday Evening Post. William A. Pinkerton, head of the largest private detective agency and reputed to be one of the shrewdest analysts of human character this country has ever known, speaks from a novel and interesting viewpoint of his observations on the most conspicuous causes which operate to poison the careers of young men with the virus of failure. "Vanity and the gambling instinct," said Mr. Pinkerton, "are responsible for more wrecked careers than even the ministers of the gospel and the professional crusaders vould lead the public to believe. These two causes often, if not generally, take the same methods to accomplish their disastrous results. The desire to get money without earning it, to get a great deal of it In a very short time, and to shine in the display of the things that money will buy induces thousands of young men to speculate or gamble 'on the side.' Others are led into the same thing more from an inherent love of gaming than from any desire to enrich themselves by the fruits of successful gambling or speculation. I seriously doubt if any other person is in a position to appreciate so keenly the prevalence of speculation and gambling among the young men of American cities as I do. "My convictions on this point are founded on years of experience in hunting out the wrecks that these evils are responsible for and T do not hesitate to say that if 1 had an employe in a position of any responsibility and had reason to suspect him of speculating or gambling I would subject him to a rigid surveillance, if 1 did not discharge him on dusnieion. The young: man. who gees into what may be fairly termed a gambling deal and joses me nrst money he risks has some little hope of being free from the gaming temptation for the remainder of his life. But if he wins the first time his finish is in sight. Only rarely have 1 encountered an exception to the latter proposition. Exceptions to the former, however, are numerous, for many, who lose at their lirst venture s-tay in the game to the bitter end That end. to the employe who is in a position to misappropriate the funds of another, is hopeless embezzlement and inevitable detection. Almost the only Instance in which a man once well started on this track had tho moral Xorci to recovtr himself I

Indianapolis ofilce, 113114 Commercial Club building. All business strictly private and confidential. Tel. No. 2427. one of the most dramatic episodes that I ever encountered in a professional life that has brought to light a tedious succession of melodramatic affairs. This exceptional incident is of particular signincance, as it indicates that a man who is rrade of the stuff that succeeds may pull himself out of the most desperate and hopeless situation. "The young man of whom I speak was the teller of a large oank in one of the principal cities of this country. By chance he made the acquaintance of sharpers who Induced him to put $20G Into a 'sure thing.' If he had lost it he would probably have been honest for life. But he nibbled along until he had sunk $10,000 of the bank's money. Then his associates convinced him that by 'using $10,000 more of the bank's funds he would surely wii. that amount and thus be able to restore the previous shortage and 'break even.' He took the money and the risk and lost. Then the sharpers had the sublime audacity to propose another deal in which they were to 'invest' $20,000 as against $30,000. This was accepted, and the teller named the hour and place at which his confederates were to meet him. Before leaving the bank he took from the vaults $),000 in currency. At the rendezvous he showed his package of large bills and demanded that the sharpers also make proof that they had kept the agreement. They placed in his hands a package containing $22,000 and told him to count it. This he did, and as he linished that task he suddenly drew from his pocked a 43-calIber revolver and covered his friends with it. Then he told them that their good sense would make cle-ar to them the desperateness of his situation and help them to realize that he wiuld naturally prefer to kill one or both of them, or to himself die righting, rather than face the shame of a public disclosure of his embezzlements. They saw the logic of this reasoning and held theii hands In the air while he threw back to them from their bundle of bills the surplus $2,000 above the $20,000 which he had at first stolen and lost Into their hands. This done, he once more warned them that If they stirred he would kill them without hesitation. Next, he put the $o0,000 in his overcoat pocket and retreated to the bank, replacing in the vault every dollar he had ever stolen from first to last. The next day he resigned, and the officers of the bank were informed of his, courageous coup as well as of his dishonesty at the start. Later he elsewhere secured a clerkship and worked steadily forward, never again being tempted by the influence that pulls down thousands of bright and ambitious young men. To-day he is a very successful and thoroughly respected business man in the very city in which he had his narrow escape from the final penalties of the gaming mania." WALKED HUNDREDS OF MILES. Journey of a Ilor to Ret Rack to Hla Old Home. Elmira Advertiser. The latest native of Elmira to return from the "sunny South" is a valuable pointer that came on foot all the way from South Carolina to his home in this city because he was homesick. The dog was the property of John H. Sullivan, a law student. A family named Bunn. living near the Sullivans, on Kenyon street, who had been friends of the Sullivan family, signified their intention of moving to South Carolina to live. A large dog, which was owned by the Sulllvans, spent much of his time between the two houses, sometimes staying for days at a time with one of the families and then leaving for the other house suddenly without apparent reason for his departure. When the Bunns moved to South Carolina they asked the Sullivan family to give up their Interest in the dog so that they could tako him with them. This was agreed to, and the last that was seen of the cog in Elmira was when the train pulled out of the station with the dog securely tied in the baggage car. Three months later the Sullivan family heard a stransre noise t the door. They opened it and were astonished to see the dog which they had given to the Bunn family several months aso and which they supposed was miles away. The joy of the animal to find himself among his friends again knew no bounds. He was so weak from hunger and exhaustion from the long Journey that it was at first thought he would not live. The animal's feet were so blistered and swollen that after he had been home an hour or two he could not walk. What route the animal took or how long he had been on the way is not known. How to Care for Your Watch. Jeweler's Weekly. A watch should be wound up every day at the same hour. Avoid putting it on a mable slab or near anything excessively cold. A sudden change of temperature, contracting the metal, may sometimes cause the mainspring to break. The cold also coagulates the oil, and the pivots and wheels work less freely, and effect the regularity of the timekeeping. In laying aside a watch lie sure that it rests uron its case. If suspended the action of the balance may cause oscillation, which will Interfere with Its going. To keep your watch clean take care that the case fits closely and see that the watch pocket is kept free from fluff, which Is so often given off by linings. Avoid sudden Jerks and falls, for even If it does r.ot sem to affect it at the moment, a watch will resent rough handling by becoming gradually "out of order" without apparent cause. Those Unreasonable Mistresses. Chicago Post. "I don't see," said the maid of all work thoughtfully, "what makes the missus so cross. She's gettln' more n more onreasonable every day. Now, I hadn't done a thing, not a thing, an' yet she got so mad she could hardly speak. Of course, everybody knows you can't leave tubs durin the week without a little 'tv-ater in 'em to keep 'em from dryin' up. An' so I put some water in one of the tubs an' lifted it up on top of a big trunk in the storeroom in the basement, where it ud be out of the way,- an' left it there. - The next day I noticed it was leakin a little an I spoke to the missus about it." " 'Where is It? says she. " 'On top of the big trunk In the storeroom.' says I. " 'An with that she gives one gasp antfT rushes down stairs, me followin her, an she hasn't hardly been civil to me since. They're so onreasonabie! How was I to know a lot of her winter dresses was In that trunk? I think 111 navt to leav."
