Virtue in tlie Family.
There are all sorts and degrees ol
virtue, and sometimes we are told that
virtue is its own reward. Mr. A. F.
Evans, of Burr’s Ferry, La., says in
writing about Brown’s Iron Bitters “l
have been the recipient of its virtue in
my family to a considerable extent.”
This great iron tonic has superior ad-
vantages as a rclible family medicine.
Its power has been thorougly tried, and
land its virtues abundantly proved.

The Sparrow’s Business.
The sparrow is the toughest and
pluckiest bird of its size in the world.
One half of his time he devotes to court-
ing and love, while the other half is con-
sumed in hunting up a living for bis lit-
tle wife and still smaller children.
Many a man can learn wisdom from the
sparrow.—[Chicago Sun.

The Dess of Two Evils,
An Iowa farmer who recently fell
into the clutches of a lightning rod man,
-remarked to a neighbor a clay or two
afterward: '
“Bill, I wish I’d a been struck by the
liglitnin’ itself before I saw that chap.
“Why so, John?”
“I’d a got off’right smart easier.

“I’m down on roller skates,” said a

You seemed to bo down most of the
time.” And then all of the sprightly
sisters of Eve giggled at their innocent
sister.—[Yonkers Statesman.
What lies beneath that roof of clay?
A form that led the fiercest fray
V ith stea^ hand on bridli? rein,
And eyes that ne’er looked back again.
Now loosed the hand, and closed the eyes,
To live again in Paradise.
What lies beneath those roses red?
A pillow cool for every head;
And soft the glowing blossoms rest
On lips and eyes and sturdy breast,
Of him who left wife, child, home, all
To follow at the bugle’s call.
Wbat lies beneath those lilies fair?
A white brow framed with clustering hair:
An arm that struck a patriot blow;
A face that fell toward the foe;
And while the glazing eves could see,
Gasped forth, “dear laud, I die for thee?”
These dreamless sleep where daisies nod
Their white heads o’er the clover sod;
Here the sweet dew its teardrop sheds-
Above the unknown soldiers’ heads,
While from the cedar’s bending limb
The robins sing their requiem.
Once more with martial step we come;
W^ith drooping flag and beat of drum
Our trembling hands brlng garlands sweet
To lay across our soldiers’ feet.
Have pity Lord 1 these hearts of ours
Rain tears of blood upon the flowers.

Or, How Harry Kogers Won
‘Nonsense! I shall not marrv at
all.”
Why you certainly mean to marry
John Brant?”
’“Assuredly I do not. He is passa-
ble,. that’s all.”
‘Then it will be Harry Rogers.”
‘Never! Harry Rogers is not en-
durable with his mild ways and his
mqek courtesy.”
‘That will do to tell me, Miss May
Saunders, but wait till either of the
gentlemen proposes to you, and you
will accept.”
‘They have both proposed, and both
been refused within the past twenty-
four hours. There now! what do vou
think of that? Haven’t I just a little
bit of spirit and independence?”
“Why, May Saunders, you are a sil-
ly girl to refuse either of these gentle-
men. You have made the Irst great
mistake of your life. Reconsider what
you have done, and accept one or the
other of them.”
“I will do no such thing. I’ll live
and die an old marl before I marry
e-itber of them, or any other man, for
the matter of that.”
“We Will both live long enough to
see things come out differently.”
‘Oh, I hope we will both live to a
ripe old age, but in the end you will
find that I have kept my word.”
This bit of a dialogue took place be-
tween my intimate friend, May Saun-
ders, and myself on her twenty-fourth
birthday, and I had been rallying her
because she only had one more mile-
stone to pass until she entered the do-
main of old maidom—if allowance be
made for coin'ng the word—and I had
been advis'ng her to marry before she
crossed the borderland.
John Brant was bookkeeper and
Harry Rogers was cashier in the bank
of Ivesou & Co., and both were excel-
lent young men. I knew that both
were devoted admirers of May, but I
was greatly surprised to learn that
both had proposed, and still more dis-
mayed to learn that both had teen re-
jected.
“Tell me,Mary,” I said, “what ob-
jection could you have to Harry Rog-
ers? He rs an exceptionally splendid
young man, and no one stands higher
in the pubic esteem in the whole town
of Dayton.’
“I presume,” she replied, “that I
successfully, but I certainly would
stand by my convictions of right.”
There was a commotion one day in
the banking house of Ivesou & Co.
When the doors were closed in the
afternoon and the cash was balanced
cashter Rogers was found to be just
$500 short.
Every transaction of the <^y was
gone over, the members of the firm
taking a part in the work, but there
was no way of accounting for the de-
ficit.
The payments made during the clay
were few in number, and Harry Rogers
was able to remember the whole 1st,
and before nteht he had called on each
of them, hoping to discover that he had
made an overpayment to the amount
of his deficit in one of them. But he
had not
At last it was concluded that a thief
had snatched a package of bills When
the cashier was not looking.
But Harry mentally refused to as-
sent lo any such idea, although he
could give no sort of an explanation
lor the disappearance of the money.
He w-s caut’oned to be more circum-
spect in the future, and all the bank
employes were enjo'ned not to speak
of the occurrence.
. Harry Rogers was able to definitely
settle one point—that the missing mon-
ey consisted of five $100 bills, and the
eh'ef of police was informed of the
matter and instructed to keep a qu'et
lookout, through the detectives, for the
appearance of such large notes in the
hands of suspicious persons.
While Harry Rogers was at home
that evening vainly trying to find some
tenable theory about the stolen funds,
John Brant was spending the time
with May Saunders and finally told her
of the mysterious loss.
“But how did it escape getting into
the evening papers?” inquired May.
“Oh, its a great secret and isn’t to
be spoken of outside of the bank,” was
Brant’s reply.
“Well, then you are an excellent
hand to keep a secret, Mr. Brant, I
must say.”
John 'Brant winced under this re-
tort.
“How clo you account for the loss of
the money, Mr. Brant.

i Harry Rogers went home bewi'l-
jdered. He had for years been one oi
iMay’s employes without knowing it,
jand now ho found in her a champion
'and a firm believer in bis innocence.
! When he visited the bank the next
morning and, declar ng his innocence
of the suspicions against him, declined
to make good the deficit, except on the
judgment of the court and to prevent his
bondsmen from paying it, Mr. Iveson
was shocked and angry, and finally told
ITEMS OF INTEREST,
“And then,” queried May with an eager voice
“I don’t account for it. There is only
one man who can.”
“Who is that?”
“Harry Rogers, the cashier. The
money was in his custody, and he
ought to know what became of it.”
“John Brant, what do you mean?”
“Well, nothing; only that Harry
Rogers ought to know what became of
the money in his charge.”
“I think I can fathom your meaning,
Mr. Brant, and it is ungenerous, if not
unjust, and without good grounds.”
There was something in May’s voice
which suggested to Brant that it was
the part of discretion to drop the sub-
ject, and he quickly invented an excuse
<r vood evening.
“Then I am ready to be taken in custody/’’
was Harry’s reply.
Rogers that he would have to institute
criminal proceedings against him un-
less the loss was made good.
“Then I am ready to be taken int<Y
custody,” was h's reply. “The soon-
er we begin to sift this mystery, the
sooner we will get to the bottom of
it.”
It was one of the greatest of Dayton
sensations when the arrest of Harry
Rogers was made public and the story
told in the papers with half a dozen
different versions.
The tank employed a detective to se-
cure corroberatlve evidence of the
young cashier’s guilt, and although
but little could be found, his prospects
were dark indeed, for he found it im-
possible to throw any reasonable light
on the mysterious d-sappearance oi
the two missing packages of money
May concluded to employ a detec-
tive also, without letting anyone know
what she was doing. An officer was
summoned from a neighboring city,
and called at Miss Saunders’ residence
to get his instructions.
In the course of an hour’s conversa-
tion May gave him a history of the af-
fair, and how she came to learn of the
loss of the money and the suspicions
entertained against the cashier.
The detective, of course, soon dis-
covered that both the bookkeeper and
the cashier were in love with the
young lady who had called his services
into requisition.
“So it was the bookkeeper that told
you the secret in the first place?” in-
quired the detective.
“Yes.”
“And what was the motive?”
“I haven't the remotest idea.”
The detective ace'dentally struck his
foot against the work basket and ov-
erturned it. With an apology for his
awkwardness he began to, replace the
contents.
“Oh, yes, Mr. Officer,” explained
May, “there is a letter that Mr. Brant
dropped on the night he told me of
the first robbery, and I had forgotten
to return it to him.”
“Let me see it,” said the detective.

The Boston Physician Believes the
Missing Man Alive.
Tlie young English surgeon, E. H.
Graham Dewey, of Boston, who is re-
ferred to in the letter received a day or
two ago by Maxwell, the alleged mur-
derer of Broiler, in St. Louis, which let-
purports to have been written by Prel-
ler himself from Wilkesbarre, Pa., states
that he knows nothing of .the letter in
question or of the St. Louis mystery,
and calls attention to several character-
istics in the letter peculiar to English-
men. The characteristics he thinks he
recognizes as belonging excusively to
Preller, whom be knew quite well.
The mention of Tewkesbury, in the let-
ter referred to by Dewey, is a startling
coincidence, inasmuch as a conversa-
tion of the kind referred to in the letter
actually did take place between Max
well and Dewey, to which conversation
Preller was a listener. Dr. Dewey be-
lieves that Preller is alive, but is much
mystified by the peculiar developments
in the case. He knows that Preller
carried a heavy insurance on his life,
because he was told so by Preller him-
self. Dr. Dewey does not think that

says that Maxwell, as he ktfew hin, was
very effeminate, and was entirely de-

must be very sure of his ground. Dr.

I was cu te o ercome with the pecu-
liar s'tuat'on of affairs, and saw that it
would be a waste of time to volunteer
any sort of advice or undertake a solu-
t'on of the knotty problem. So I con-
cluded to leave the solution to the deft
lingers of time.
Both the young gentlemen cont'nued

in the end.

Miss Mary Saunders would be Mrs.
John Brant. Her partiality was suffi-

tide.
From John Brant I was able to learn
that he regarded Harry Rogers as a
rival—and a r val whom he both feared
and hated, notwithstanding their close
business relat ons.
But I wa; ent rely unable to discover
that Harry Rogers looked upon Brant
as a rival in any sense of the word.
On several o.ccas ons he confided in
me far enough to express bo'h his
amazement and pain that Mary should
so persistently reject his love without
giving him any reasonable explanation.
“Perhaps she thinks you lack self-
assertion,” I sa;d to h'm, in a way of
suggestion.

a letter had dropped from his overcoat
pocket in the hall. The business en-
velope was addressed to “John Brant,
care of Iveson & Co.,” and its contents
evidently related.to business affairs.
If May had any curiosity, she was
too well bred to examine the letter, and
threw it into her workbaskqt and cov-
ered it from sight, until its rightful
owner should call again.
“I belleie he js ungenerous enough
to charge the theft to Harry Rogers.”
A. ay said to herself half aloud, after
she had placed the letter out of sight.
“But I am sure Harry Rogers is above
any such base suspic on.”
This was tli s first time she had ever
.heard a reliect'on cast upon Harry
Rogers, and instinctively she became
his advocate and defender.
Two weeks passed and there was no
clue to the theft, but one clay another
similar amount was missing from the
cashier’s funds.
Again there was an anxious investi-
gation with no result. At its conclu-
sion Mr. Iveson said:
“This is inexplicable, Mr. Rogers.
You are responsible for the funds
placed in your hands, and we all ex-
pect you to make the bank whole for
the losses already sustained. When
the bank opens to-morrow you will be
expected to make good the losses, and
then it will be decided whether you
will longer cont nue as cashier.”
“And if I fail to make good tbo
loss?” asked Mr. Rogers.
“Publicity will be given to the affair
and the law will take its course. But
until to-morrow not a word is to be
spoken of this matter outside the
bank.”
Harry Rogers went home agitated
and mystified. He knew he was inno-
cent of wrong doing, but had to con-
fess that all the circumstances were
aga’nst h'm.
He was barely able to make good
the thousand dollars’ loss, and to do
so would be almost a confession that
he had stolen the money.
John Brant found it convenient to
call on May Saunde s, and it was not
long until he had told her of the second
loss, and Mr. Iveson’s' suspicions, and
the delicate position in wh'ch Harry
Rogers had been placed.
She concealed her indignat'on, and
dismb sing him on the plea of incBspo-
s'.tion. hastily dispatched a note to
Harry Rogers by a servant, requesting
him to call on her at once and without
failure.
He obeyed, but the unexpected sum-
mons did not soothe or allay his agita-
tion. May dispensed with all prelim-
inaries and began:
“On two different occasions within
two weeks you have lost $500 from the
funds in your charge in the bank.”
‘ That :s true; but bow come you to
know it? It was a bank secret.”
“It does not matter how I found it
out. And you are suspected of taking
the money yourself.”
“Hardly no bad as that.”
“It may not be put in just my words
but that is the meaning of it. You are
required to make good the loss to-mor-
row morning. What answer are you
going to made to that demand of the

and earnest voice:
“I shall tell them that I did not take
the money, aad, therefore, will ntot re-

“And then?’’ queried May with an
eager vo ce.
“Then I will be arrested fop theft
and embezzlement.”

‘stolen on the first occasion! And Mr^
Bookkeeper dropped them. He want-J
ed to drive his rival, the cashier, out1
of the field and then marry Miss May
Saunders. You needn’t blush nor you
needn’t deny it. Say nothing for the
present.”
The unknown detective called at the
bank the next day and had a conver-
sation with Mr. Iveson, and Bookkeep-
er Brant was called into the confer^
ence.
“Why d'cl you never make inquiry
for the $500 you dropped at the resi-
dence of Miss Saunders the evening af-
ter the sum mysteriously disappeared
from Cashier Rogers’ drawer?” Re-
quired the detective.
Brant was thunderstruck.
“Tell us about it,” demanded Mr.
Iveson.
Brant made a full confession, the
substance of which was that he ab-
stracted the money while Rogers’ at-
tention was distracted, and did it for
the sole purpose of ruining the cashier
and winning Miss Saunders. He had
intended to replace the money, and
would do so now if permitted to leave
Davton and never return.
To this Mr, Iveson and the other
members of the firm consented, and
that night John Brant disappeared,
and has never been heard of in Dayton
since.
Simultaneous with the detective’s
revelation and Brant’s confession, the
proceedings against Harry Rogers were
discontinued and he was not only re-
j funeral of an aged, colored man: .“Our
deceased brudder was married foah
time during his life,” said Whangdoo-
dle, “but only one ob de widows am so
fortunate as to be able to survive him
long enough to be present on dis heab
solemnious acashun.”
So It Goes.
“You did not dare to speak to me in
that mapner before I married you, sir!”
she indignantly exclaimed.
“No, nor you didn’t -dare come ca-
vorting around me in curl papers and
rag carpet slippers before I married you,
mam!” be retorted.
Then she cried and he profanified.—

A popular refreshment in New Or-

A Connecticut captain, who discov
ered this summer how much money
there is in the bus ness, has been cruis-
ing offRockaway Beach every day for
porpoises. The average value for each
fish is about $25. The oil brings a high
price, the hide makes good leather,
the bones are utilized easily, and the
meat, according to the captain, is
shipped to Philadelph'a. When por-
po'ses are not in sight, he occupies his
spare time catching menhaden.

A chant'cleer at New Cassel, N. Y.,
is so pugnacious towards females of
the genus-homo that whenever the
mistress of the mansion where he be-
longs or her daughter makes an ap-
pearance in the yard and approaches
a hen he will fly in ther face and peck
and fight until they are glad to leave
the field. Pots, kettles, sticks, and
stones all prove unavailing, and they
invariably have to beat a hasty retreat,
after which the rooster perches on the
window sill and sounds a trumpet
psean.
Under the Mexican law, a creditor
can have a debtor arrested on the day
when the debt falls due. The prisoner
is chanted to a post five days, guarded
by an officer. At the end of the time,
if the money is not forthcoming, the
man’s labor is sold to the government
for 40 cents a day for as many days as
will be necessary to discharge the ob-
ligation. The miserable debtor is sent
to the silver mines, where he is chained
to a gang of felons, and compelled to
work underground, and never se«.i
daylight again until he is restored to
freedom.
