THE PICKPOCKET.

•Dear." she sobbed, timidly (sho was a bride), "My pocket has been picked 1" Without word (Bhq was a bride), he never once demurred, Bat from his poeket took, nor even sighed, r* A crisp new bill, and asked: "What was it, dear?

A ten or a twenty? See, I have it here!" (She was a bride.) **It was but tenl" with a soft blush she cried,

But looked so sweet that joyfully he laid The twenty in her hand, and thought ht paid Bmnll price for her quick—kiss she was bride— •v Then turned, but a low whisper met his ear, "Perhaps, perhaps, I ought to tell you, dear"— (She was a bride.)

Her voice sank lower still she faintly sighed, And sought for words she could not seem tAf flnd.

At last, 'Twas I who picked it, do yoc mind?" Of course he didn't mind (she was a bride),

But thought it such a pretty little trick, He laid down twenty more for her to pick. (She was a bride.) —Alice Wellington Rollins in Elite.

AN OLD YOUNG MAN.

When I was telling yon of the joke tbat the worm played off on the senior subaltern, promised a somewhat similar tale, but with all the jest left oat. This is that tele:

Dloky Hatt was kidnaped in his early, early youth, neither by landlady's daughter, housemaid, barmaid nor cook, but by a girl so nearly of his own castte that orlj a woman could have said she was just the least little bit in the world below it. This happened a month before he came out to India and five days after his one and twentieth birthday. The girl was 1£ —six years older tbbn Dicky, in the things of this world, that is to say, and, for the time, twice as foolish as he.

Excepting always falling off a horse, there is nothing more fatally easy than marriage before the registrar. The ceremony costs less than 50 shillings and is remarkably like walking into a pawnshop. After the declarations of rosidonco have been put in, four minutes will cover the rest of the proceedings—fees, attestation and all. Then the registrar slides the blotting pad over the names and says grimly, with his pen between 'his teetn, "Now you're man and wife," and the couple walk out into the street, feeling as if something were horribly illegal somewhere.

But that ceremony holds and can drag a man to his undoing just as thoroughly as the "long as ye both shall live" ourse from the altar rails, with the. bridesmaids giggling behind and "The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden" lifting the roof off. In this manner was Dicky Hatt kidnaped, and he considered it vastly fine, for he had received an appointment in India which carriod a magnifloent salary from the home point of view. Tho marriage was to be kept seoret for a year. Then Mrs. Dicky Hatt was to come out, and the rest of life was to be a glorious golden mist. That was how they sketched it under the Addison Road station lamps, and after one short month oame Gravesend, and Dicky steaming out to his new life, and the girl crying In a 80 shillings a week bed and living room in a baok street off Montpolior square, near tho Enightsbrldge barrack.

But tho country that Dicky came to was a hard land, where "men" of 81 were reckoned very small boys, Indeed, and life was expensive. The salary that loomed so large 6,000 miles away did not go far, particularly whon Dicky dividod it by two and remitted more than the fair half at one-sixth to Montpelier square. One hundred and thirty-five rupees out of 830 Is not much to live on, but it was absurd to supposo that Mrs. Hatt could exist forever on the £20 held Tjack by Dicky from his outfit allowance. Dicky saw this and remitted at once, always remembering that 700 rupees were to be paid 13 months lator for a first olasa passage out for a lady. When you add to these trilling details the natural instincts of a boy beginning a new life in anew oountry pnd longing to go about and enjoy himself and tho necessity for grappling with strange work— which, properly speaking, should take up a boy's undivided attention—you will see that Dioky started handicapped. He saw It himself for a breath or two, but he did not guess the full beauty of his future.

As the hot weather began the shackles settled on him and ate into his flesh. First would come letters—big, crossed, seven sheet letters—from his wife, telling him how she longed to see him, and what a heaven upon earth would be their property when they met. Then some boy of the chummery wherein Dicky lodged would pound on the door of his bare little room and toll him to come out to look at a pony—the very thing to suit him. Dicky oould not afford ponies. He had to plain this. Dicky oould "not afford ving In the chummery, modest as it was. had to explain this before ho moved to I ^ngle room next the offioe where he ed all day. He kopt house on a oilcloth table cover, one ohair, one poy, one photograph, one toothglass, strong and thick a 7 rqpee eight a filter, and messing by oontract at 87 oes a month, wbioh last item was extortion. He had no punkah, for a punkah ooets 16 rupees a month, but he slept on tho roof of the offioo, with all his wife's letters under his pillow. Now and again he was asked out to dinner, where be got both a punkah and an ioed drink. But this was seldom, for people objected to Moognixing a boy who had evidently the Instincts of a Sootoh tallow chandler, and who lived In suoh a nasty fashion. Dicky oould not subscribe to any amusement, so be found no amusement exoept the pleasure of turning over his bankbook and reading what it said about "loans on approved security." That cost nothing. He remlttod through a Bombay bank, by the way, and the station knew nothing of his private affairs.

Every month he sent home all he conld possibly spare for his wife, and for another reason which was expected to explain itself shortly and Would require more money.

About this time Dicky was overtaken with the nervous, haunting tear that besets married men when they are out of sorts. He had no pension to look to. What if ho should die suddenly and leave his wife unprovided for? The thought usod to IAJT hold of him In the still, hot nights on the roof, till thoshakiug of his heart made him think thslr he was going to die then and there of kiwi disease. Now this Is a frame of mind whieh no boy has aright to know. It 1* a strong man's trouble, but, ooming w&en it did, it nearly drvc poor punkaHesk perspiring Dicky Hatt mad. He oouiduell no one UIKJUI Ik

A certain iuutfflnt of "screw" is as neo* essarv for a man W for a billiard ball It makes thorn boti do wonderful things. Dioky needed inoiuy badly, and ho worked lor It like a horasJ But naturally the men Who owned him kpw that a boy can lire •vty oomfort^bly on a oertain income.

Pay in India is a matter of age, not merit, yon see, and if their particular boy wished to work like two boys, business forbid that, they should stop bim. But business forbid that they should give him an increase of pay at his present ridiculously immature age. So Dicky won certain rises of salary—ample for a boy, not enough for a wife and child—certainly too little for the 700 rupee passage that he and Mrs. Hatt had disoussed so lightly onoe upon a time. And with this he was forced to be content.

Somehow all his money seemed to fade away in home-drafts and the crushing exchange, and the tone of the home letters changed and grew querulous. "Why wouldn't Dicky have his wife and thei baby out? Surely he had a salary—a fine salary—and it was too bad of him to enjoy himself in India. But would he—could he—make the next draft a little more elastioP" Here followed a list of baby's kit as long as a Parsee's bill. Then Dioky, whose

heart

yearned to his wife and

the little son he had never seen—whfch, again, is a feeling no boy is entitled to— enlarged the draft and wrote queer half boy, half man letters, saying that life was not so enjoyable after all, and would the little wife wait yet a-little longer? But the little wife, however muoh she approved of money, objected to waiting, and there was a strange, hard sort of ring in her letters that Dicky didn't understand. How oould he, poor boy?

Later on still—just as Dioky had been told—apropos of another youngster who bail "made a fool of himself," as the saying is—that matrimony would not only ruin his further chances of advancement, but would lose him his present appointment—came the news that the baby, his own little, little son, had died, and behind this 40 lines of an angry woman's sorawl, saying the death might have been averted if certain things, all costing money, had been done, or if the mother and the baby had been with Dioky. The letter struck at Dicky's naked heart, but nj)t being officially entitled to a baby "he could show no sign of trouble.

How Dloky won through the next four months, and what hope he kept alight to force him into his work, no one dare say. He pounded on, tho 700 rupee passage as far away as ever, and his style of living unchanged, except when ho launched into anew filter. There was the strain of his offioe work, and the strain of his remittances, and the knowledge of his boy's death, which touched the boy more, perhaps, tHhn it would have touched a man, and, beyond all, the enduring strain of his daily life. Gray headed seniors who approved of his thrift and his fashion of denying himself everything pleasant reminded him of the old saw that says: If a youth bo distinguished in his art, art, art, He must keep the girls away from his heart, heart, heart.

And Dioky, who fanoled he had been through every trouble that a man is permitted to know, had to laugh and agree, with the last line of his balanced bankbook jingling in his head day and night.

But he had one more sorrow to digest before the end. There arrived a letter from the littlo wife—the natural sequence of the others if Dioky had only known it— and the burden of that letter was "gone with a handsomer man than you." It was a rather curious production without stops, something like this: "She was not going to wait forever and tho baby was dead and Dioky was only a boy and he would never set ejes on her again and why hadn't he waved his handkerohlef to her when he left Gravesend and God was her judge she was a wloked woman but Dioky was worse enjoying himself in India and this other man loved the ground she trod on and would Dioky ever forgive her for she would never forgive Dioky and there was no address to write to."

Instead of thanking his stars that he was free, Dioky discovered exactly how an injured hudband feels—again, not at all the knowledge to whioh a boy is entitled —for his mind went baok to his wife as he remembered her in the 80 Shilling "suit" in Montpolier square, when the dawn of his last morning in England was breaking, and she was orying in the bed, whereat he rolled about on his bed and bit his fingers. He never stopped to think whether, if he had met Mrs. Hatt after thoso two years, he would havo discovered that he and she had grown quite different and new persons. This he ought to have done. He spent the night after the English mail oame in rather severe pain.

Next morning Dloky Hatt felt disinclined to work. He argued that he had missed the pleasure of youth. He was tired, and ho had tasted all the sorrow in life before three and twenty. His honor was gone—that was the man—and now he, too, would go to the devil—that was the boy in him. So he put his head down on tho green oiloloth table oover and wept before resigning his post and all it offered.

But the reward of his servioes oame. He was given three days to reoonsider himself, and the head of the establishment, after some telegraphlngs, said that it was a most unusual step, but in view of the ability that Mr. Hatt had displayed at suoh and suoh a time, at suoh and suoh junctures, he was in a position to offer bim an infinitely superior post, first on probation, and later, in the natural course of things, on confirmation. "And bow much does the post carry?" said Dicky. "Six hundred and fifty rupees," said the h$ad slowly, expecting to see the young man sink with gratitude and joy.

And it oame then I The 700 rupee passage, and enough to have saved the wife and the little son and to have allowed of assured and open marriage, oame then. Dloky burst into a roar of laughter— laughter he oould not check—nasty, jangling merriment that seemed as If it would go on forever. When he bad reoovered himself, he said quite seriously: "I'm tired of work. I'm an old man now. It's about time I retired. And I will." "Tho boy's mad!" said the head.

I think he was right, but Dloky Hatt never reappeared to settle the question.— Rudvard Kipling. I

Polapnoas Apples*

One of our consuls |n Venetuela tells a fairy like tale about a poisonous apple upon which the soft shell ombs of Venezuela feed. It la called the lianzanillo, and the crabs eat It with impunity, although It is rank poison. The flesh of the crab becomes thoroughly impregnated with tho poison and is thus rendered a fatal diet. Themanzanillo, or''llGtle apple," is found along the coast. It is, about an inch in diameter and grows open a tree similar In appearance to an appSe tree. It Is very pleasant to tbo eye and has a sweet, insipid taste. It is utuaily found where there Is fresh water aid may easily tempt a thirsty, inexperienced voyager. It is, however, a deadly poison, primarily causing intense burning pains in the throat and stomach. Unlessromedios are promptly applied death is inevitable. It is even dangerous to nmain In the shade of one of jfcbese trees, and a pbrson taking shelter tinder it during rain will suffer from pain* ful blisters wherever a drop of water fall* tng from the leaves touches his person.— Exchange.

Where Moslems Are Most Numerous. Far in advance of any other nation in the number of the Moslems under its rule is Great Britain. In India alone there are about 60,000,000 Mohammedans, and they outnumber all the subjects of the sultan more than two to one. Besides, England rules Mohammedans in other parts of her

China is believed to come next as a jountry inhabited by many followers of the prophet. The number of Mohammedans in the Chinese empire is estimated all the way from 80,000,000 to 50,000,000, and the smallest of the guesses is more than Turkey oan match. Holland also has nearly or quite 80,000,000 Moslem subjeots in her populous and rich East Indian possessions. Java has fully 26,000,000 people, and nearly all of them are Mohammedans.

The Turkish empire is supposed to contain about 28,000,000 Moslems, counting the portion of Arabia in which the authority of the sultan is not very well established and is in danger of being destroyed at any time. Therefore it is apparent that unless great error has been made in estimating the numbef of Mohammedans in the Chinese empire the sultan is only fourth among rulers of great bodies of men and women who believe in Mohammed.

But among other countries wlgch are dominated by the Moslem element of their population and are under the sway of a Mohammedan ruler the Turkish empire is easily first in numbers and in power for evil.—Cleveland Leader.

The Danger of Silence.

I once had a case (said a member of the bar) against a man in the country which was as clear as daylight in my favor, but, by the cunning of his lawyer, he had continued to avoid coming to trial for about two years.

At last the case was called, late in the term and late in a hot day, the court and jury tir^d and impatient. I stated the facts and produced the evidence, which was all on my side.

The judge asked the counsel whether they wished to argue the case, stating that he hardly thought it necessary to submit it in so plain a matter. The law yers agreed to submit it without argument. The jury went out and immediately retuijngd with a verdiot for the defendant. g|§

As soon as the court adjourned I sought the foreman of the jnry, and asked him how in the name of common sense they came to render such a verdiot. "Why, you see," said he, "we didn't think much of the lawyer against you, and it wasn't'strange he didn't have nothing to say but, squire, the fact is we thought you was about one of the smartest lawyers in the oountry, and if you couldn't find nothing to say on roar side it must be a pretty hard case, so we had to go against you. "—Pearson's Weekly.

Close Shave With a Leopard. I walked a little nearer the edge of the ledge to listen if I could hear anyin the gap, as we could not tell where the dogs or the leopard had got to. I heard a slight rtstle below, whether in the bush or on the ledge I oould not tell, and there was no timf/ to find out, for with a rush and a boand the leopard threw himself against the krantz, clutching at the grass roots on top with the claws of one fore paw—the other was broken just above the wrist— and I could hear his hind claws scraping on the rooks in his endeavors to scramble up. I knew that he was very close to me. His great blood smeared paws were within six feet, and I could see his wicked yellow eyes glaring sav agely and the saliva, red tinged, drop ping from the gleaming tusks.

As Nogwaja ran in with uplifted as segai I fired down into the brute'i mouth, and with a savage gasp he fell down on to the ledge below. The plucky Swazi, without waiting to see if he was dead, jumped down on top of him and gave him a final thrust with his assegai ere life bad sped.—Kirby.

Able to Read Writing.

"I never will forget the queer incidents and experiences I had when I first bought a typewriter and "sent out in print my correspondence and bills to my onstomers who lived in the rustio regions about me," said a merchant from a backwoods town. "Several of my patrons dropped me, and I was at a loss to aocount for their manner, whioh ohanged toward me. At last the mystery was solved. A burly young farmer drove up to the store, tied up his oxen and stalked into my office. 'Mr. Blank,' said he, 'I'd have you know that I know how to read writin, and you don't have to print your letters and bills when you send them to ma I don't propose to be insulted in such a manner.' "He then threw down the letter on my desk and stalked out"—Louisville Courier-JournaL

Kinglake and The Timet.

It was Kinglake who uttered one of the neatest of mots on the peculiar character of the London Times. Be had lit* He fondness for that journal in spite oi personal friendships which might have been expected to soften his view of the question. The paper was still to him a sort of Juggernaut, irresistible and fateful. On seeing an announcement of the new editor's marriage he exolaimed: "Heavens! Tbat brings The Times into relations with humanity."

Punished For Their Wickedness. The St. Andrew's fishermen are supposed,, no doubt erroneously, to be lees venturous than others. A year or two ago they retrieved their fame by very gallant conduct in an unseawortby lifeboat. However, their marine neighbors tell this tale:

Many years ago there was a violent storm on a 22d of November. A wreck oame in the fishers boarded it, found some sailors still alive and "made sikker" by drowning them. Then they seized the cargo and fell in luck. The anniversary, Nov. 23, was a bright, still, haloyon day, and the blue bay was covered with brown saila Not one car^e home to the rooky chink which does dutjhas a harbor. A fierce storm aroso, and the fitting fleet perished. Consequently anew and more or less highland colony, mainly of Chisholmes, oame in, and never were suoh good men. as the lost sailors of Fife. For long the unholy day of November was a holiday, nobody daring to go forth to sea.

Such is the legend, which may have no historical basis. In any case Fife fishers and the east coast men generally are considered to be better in a boat "than the west highlanders, and Fife e~ terprise and capital might have left us a more prosperous isle of Lewes.—London News.

Found the Explanation.

Miss Anna M. Soule, who is at work in the gradnate school of the University of Michigan ior the master's degree in letters, with United States history as a major, has made a special study of the international boundary of Michigan, and has found the explanation of one marked peculiarity of the boundary line which has never been fully accounted fpr. Thin Is Certainly a Chance Which Should

Not Be Lost.

We are aware tbat our people who suffer from nervous, chronic or long standing complaints do not have the same op portunity to be cured as do the residents of the great oities where the most eminent physicians and specialists reside. In other words our people are debarred from seeking a cure by the great and skilled physicians owing to the cost of travel to the large cities and the high fees charged by suoh physioians.

Here, therefore, is a chance for the siok of our community which should not be lost. Dr. Greene of 35 West Fourteenth street, New York City, who has the largest practice in the world and who is without doubt the most successful specialist In curing all forms of nervous and chronic diseases, offers to give free consultation by mail to all sufferers whom their local physician has failed to cure. Tou have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter, describing your complaints, and he will, after carefully consideringyour condition, send you a letter fully explaining all your symptoms, telling you everything about your complaint so plainly that you will understand exaotly what ails you. He will also give you advice, based upon his va9t experience and wonderful success in treating such cases, as to just what to do to get cured. All this will cost you nothing and you oan thus have consultation with the best-known physlolan and acknowledged most successful specialist in the world, without leaving home and at no expense whatever. The dootor is the discoverer of that greatest of all known medioines, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and he has discovered many other most valuable remedies. Write him now, for this is a chance to get cuied whioh you may never have again.

Do notallow yourself to be imposed on by the many novel schemes, advertising new and untried so-called cough remedies but stick to the old reliable, Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, the unfailing cujre for all affections of the throat and chest.

The usual treatment of oatarrh is very unsatisfactory, as thousands oan testify. Proper local treatment is positively necessary to suocess, but many, if not most, of the remedies in general use afford but temporary relief. A cure certainly oannot be expected from snuffs, powders, douches and washes. Ely's Cream Balm, whioh is so highly com* mended, is a remedy tbat combines the important requisites of quick action, speolflo curative power, with perfect safetv and pleasantness to the patient.
