THE CONSPIRATORS. Captain Hanson, having returned from a long voyage to find himself a widower, had sacrificed his fondness for a seafaring life to the needs of his only daughter, Lucy, and had settled in a thriving coast city, where he could live comfortably upon the modest fortune he had accumulated. A good man was the captain, rough in his ways, but tender hearted, irasible, but forgiving, and deeply devoted to his "little girl," as he continued to call Lucy even after she took to long gowns and began to receive calls from eligible young men. It was rather slow in dawning upon the captain's mind that Lucy might some day like to marry. He never took her "company" seriously, for most of the young men who called and whom he admitted, for he habitually answered the doorbell, were of a type with which to put it mildly, he was not familiar. That Lucy should cherish a genuine interest in a young man who knew nothing of the sea never occurred to him until a son of one of his former shipmates proposed for Lucy's hand. Then there was a rude awakening. The suitor, Jack Darrow, was him self a sailor, and the old captain had found great comfort in his calls. In fact, the ancient mariner had entered the notion that Jack called to see him, and it was quite a shock when Jack, finding the captain alone one evening, made his purpose clear. "Have ye signaled her, Jack?" he asked. "Haven't hoisted a rag," replied the young sailor sheepishly. "If it's all right, cap, you speak to her. She'll do anything you say." "Dunno, dunno," returned the captain dubiously, "but I'll heave the lead Jack, and let you know if the channel's clear." That satisfied Jack, and, true to his word, the captain "heaved the lead" that very night. "Lucy," he said, "Jack Darrow wants to splice with ye." "Can't be done, papa," she answered at once. "Jack's a good fellow, but I don't love him." The captain knew not whether to rejoice or regret. He was sorry for Jack but glad for himself. "All's well," he said after a moment. "I'm not asking ye to love him Lucy. You shan't marry anybody ye don't love." IT SEEMED LIKE MAGIC How the High Class Expert Pieces Out the Old Masters. "Speaking of old pictures," said New Orleans dealer, "it is very interesting to see a really high class European expert making an examination. The extent and diversity of the information of such men are something tonishing. Some years ago I spearced couple of days with a gentleman who is recognized as one of the foremost rolnosseurs of Paris. We visited several country places which contain pictures said to be of great value, in all he inspected upward of two en canvases. "In every instance he settled questions of date, period and pain beyond all reasonable doubt. The way and woof of the canvas, the way composing the backing, the nature the borings made by worris, the waymanship of the tacks, the character the pigment and certain minute qualities in the mounting were all so many pages of print to him. Was intimately acquainted with style of hundreds of different art models they used, the colors most affected, their tricks of composition and their peculiar methods of pressing the effects of light and shade." "To an outsider it seemed like me." A copy, he would say, for instance after a swift glance at a painting was made by So-and-so, a pupil, and very much the style of his master.

And the Reason He Stood Firm Under Fire. A battalion of volunteer infantry was drilling in a field when a regiment of regular cavalry rode by. The helmet of the cavalry halted his men watch the volunteers, and, get into conversation with the colonel-the latter, he criticised their drill- That satisfied Jack, and true to his word, the captain "heaved the lead" that very night. "Lucy." he said. "Jack Darrow wants to splice with ye." "Can't be done, papa," she answered at once. "Jack's a good fellow, but I don't love him." The captain knew not whether to rejoice or regret. He was sorry for Jack but glad for himself. "All's well," he said after a moment. "I'm not asking ye to love him Lucy. You shan't marry anybody ye don't love." "I knew you'd say so, papa, just as I knew you won't object to my marrying the man I do love." "Eh? Steady there! Do ye mean ye've got somebody in mind?" Lucy blushed and looked at the floor. "Who is he?" asked the captain anxiously. "It's Henry Whitman, papa. He asked me this evening." "What! That dude?" "Papa!" Lucy's eyes blazed as she addressed her father in sharper tones than she had ever used. She looked at him steadily for a moment and then went to her room. The captain drew a long breath, sank into a chair and fumbled for his pipe Under its soothing influence he became comforted. Whitman dressed stylishly but that might not be against him. He could afford his apparent extravagance for he was a clerk in a bank. Everybody spoke well of him too Poor Jack Darrow! After a time the captain knocked the ashes from his pipe and, going to Lucy's room, spoke to her through the closed door. "It's all right, little girl," he said in a shaking voice. "If ye want, young Whitman, ye shall have him, and God bless ye both." Whereupon Lucy arose, went to the door, opened it and threw her arms around her father's neck. Next day Captain Hanson reported his soundings to Jack and told him plainly that he'd have to sheer off. Perhaps the captain failed to couch his in formation in terms that suggested his disappointment and kindly feelings. Jack did not manifest his ill will then, but a little later he devised a way to wreak vengeance on his successful rival. He chanced to learn that Whitman was to take Lucy to a theater on a certain evening. It began to rain that afternoon, a depressing, ceaseless drizzle. This was Jack's opportunity, and he arranged his plot with great care. There was nothing he could do himself except supervise operations, but he found three loyal friends to whom he confided the situation and his purpose and they agreed to look after details. The curtain rises upon their little drama at exactly 7:15 in the evening Scene, the front steps of Captain Hanson's house. A cold drizzle continues throughout. The first conspirator enters, trips up the steps and pulls the bell. After a slight pause the door opens and the old captain appears, looking out into the wet. "Is Miss Hanson at home?" inquires the conspirator. "Yes," replies the captain, trying to Five or six minutes pass, and Conspirator No. 2 comes striding confidently along, mounts the high stoop and rings the bell. "Is Miss Hanson at home?" asks the visitor of the old gentleman. "Yes, she is," responds the captain. "What do ye want?" "It's a very dirty night," remarks the conspirator with engaging frankness, "and she really ought not to venture out." "Big seas and great gales!" roars the captain in a tremendous rage. "Ye get out of here!" And he makes a dash at the self appointed adysiser, but the latter is on his guard and skips down the steps unharmed. Ten minutes are then allowed to lapse before the third conspirator appears on the scene. He, too, trots up the high stoop and rings the bell, but, having rung, he prudently retreats half way down again and waits. Almost immediately the door swings open and the irate captain howls: "Well? How is it?" "Is Miss!"—begins the third conspirator; but the captain waits for no more. He makes a mad rush down the steps, roaring savage imprecations and evidently bent upon violence, but the third conspirator, anticipating just this attack, nimply jumps out of the way and flees. The captain, choking with unappeased rage, returns to his home and the three conspirators and the discarded lover gather under a convenient doorway across the street. They had not long to wait Henry Whitman, with commendable promptness, pattered up the steps at 7:45 and rang the bell. The captain was in waiting, for the accepted lover's hand had not left the bell pull when the door opened, the captain emerged like an ocean greyhound out of a fog bank and fell upon the caller before he could utter a word. It was hammer and tongs for about a second, and then such was the force of the captain's onslaught that both men rolled down the steps and came to a stop in a heap. Whitman yelled, the captain belowed, and Lucy, coming to the door, screamed. The conspirators across the way sneaked off in great delight at their success, and it was well they did so, for had they remained they would have witnessed an anticlimax that would have been unpleasant for them. Lucy recognizing her lover's voice, promptly went to his relief and caressed his bruised face in a way that Jack Darrow would not have liked to see. The captain, too, though still mystified and wrathy, apologized handsomely, and when later the truth about the conspiracy became known to him he made full amends to Whitman by doing all he could to hasten the wedding — Chicago News.

The men of the cavalry halted his watch the volunteers, and got into conversation with the colonel—the latter, he criticised their drill favorably, especially their war steadiness. The volunteer colonel a fierce fellow, and he cried hotly, men are as steady as any regiment regulars." "I do not think so," retorted the alrman,"and if you'll draw your attention to receive cavalry I'll put it." The challenge was accepted, and cavalrymen charged down upon citizen soldiers who awaited them in usual way. Now, regular cavalry can charge to within a few feet even inches of infantry at full gun and then at the word of command up short. The volunteers, however lost their nerve when they saw huge horses thundering down them and showing no sign of stop when a few yards off. They flee but one man, who remained on knee, with bayonet leveled. His colonel enraged at the oft flight, approached the hero and ping him on the back, cried: "You only brave man in the regiment You scorned to run." "Yes, sir," gasped the hero.

This is truth the poet sings That a sorrow's crown of sorrow Is remembering happier things. Isn't that what a woman thinks who finds herself practically laid aside in the heyday of life? A few years of marriage, a couple of children, and she is worn out. And as she lies weak and suffering, she remembers the days, only such a little while behind, when she tiptoed along the top rail of the worm fence, as active and blithe as a squirrel. But there's something wrong about this condition. One word expresses it—"unnatural." It's against nature to be in such a condition.

Unquestionably smoking had already been practiced by the Indians for centuries when Columbus first reached these shores. It was with them to a great extent a form of religious ceremonial. Dr. Daniel G. Brinton, the famous ethnologist, thinks that it had its beginning in the blowing tube of the medicine man. Ignorant savages are disposed to regard the human breath as possessing magical properties, and it may be supposed that burning leaves were introduced into the tube for the purpose of making the breathing visible. The Indians smoked many kinds of plants, such as sumac, red willow bark and the leaves of the kinnikinic or bearberry, and tobacco doubtless was a discovery resulting from a selection of the fittest.—Science Siftings A Word to Mothers.

The roll is made up of 753,496 surviving soldiers, 237,415 widows and dependent relatives and 653 nurses. The total number of original applications filed during the year, including those on account of the war with Spain, was 48,765. The number of original claims allowed was 37,077. During the year 107-919 claims of all classes were rejected, a large percentage of these being claims for increase. The report will state that the delay in the adjudication of claims is in nearly every case the fault of the claimants or their attorneys. In order that the present complex system of pensioning may be simplified, and to secure a more uniform practice in the future, the appointment of a commission on the revision of the laws, rules and regulations is recommended.

During the next 25 years there was an intermittent struggle between the French and Spanish for supremacy, resulting in favor of the latter, and in 1814 the name of the New Philippines was given to the country.

Also try in ironing your tablecloths to have them folded in different ways to vary the creases so that the wear will not come always in the same place.

As his wife entered the room after the doctor's last visit he called her to his bedside, and in a tremulous voice he remarked: "Darling, I am going." Leaning over him, she stroked his head gently and reminiscently replied: "Cheer up. Clarence! That remark assures me that you will live. Don't you remember how often you said that during our courting days and how persistently you didn't go?"—Boston Courier. Her Theory. Mrs. Mild—You seem to differ from the usual idea about coddling a man to win his consent. According to your theory, scolding is the best medium for winning satisfactory results.

EDISON'S INITIATION. Dramatic Climax to His Introduction to Chewing Tobacco. "A long time ago, when I was a mite a boy," said Edison, "I with two other little fellows, had saved up a lot scrap iron and tin and zinc which we meant to sell when the holidays came around. There was a large boy in the neighborhood (I think he must have become a bunko steerer afterward) who knew of our hoard. One day when we had been in swimming came to us and said: "Say, you fellows, if you will give me that tin and iron and stuff you love, I'll teach you how to chew." The proposition struck us as being very fair, particularly as he agreed to furnish the tobacco. Well, we were quite willing, so he brought some Canadian cut down to a sand bank by the river. He divided the stuff into three parts and gave us each one. Then he told: "Now you must do exactly as I say, and you must do it right away, or you'll never learn to chew. 'Now, then,' he shouted, 'hold up!' We held it up. 'Put it in your mouth!' he yelled. We put it in. 'Chew!' he hissed dramatically. We worked away at a great rate. 'Swallow it!' he screeched. We gulped it down, and then that young rascal fairly rolled down the tank with laughter, while we soon rolled down the other side, sleeker, I suppose, than any of us had been in our lives before or since. One of the boys nearly died, and they had a very serious time with him. That was my first experience with tobacco."—Philadelphia Inquirer. FRESH GOLD CROPS. Localities Where the Precious Metal Deposits Itself Annually. There are several localities where gold may be said to grow every year in other words, where fresh deposits of the precious metal are to be found annually. One such district is in the Edmonton country, in the Canadian northwest, there, after the spring floods, from the same banks and "benches" of the Saskatchewan river there are taken every year considerable quantities of gold by few diggers, who make their living out of the business.
