For The News.
Dr. Joseph Bright, the re-
nowned professor of surgery at
the University of Shaeptown,
haring just eaten bis breakfast,
abandoned himself entirely to a
most delightful line of thoughts
concerning his bride, Dr. Ara-
bella Loving, that most exem-
plary young lady, pride of the
medical profession, who had per-
mitted him.voBly the day before,
to press the firffi kisses on her
dimpled hands, and who. more-
over, bed consented to join her
practice with his own—in other
words, had promised to become
hit wife. Dr. Arabella and Prof.
Bright laved one another fondly,
but with a love quite different
from that of ordinary mortals.
Their love was methodical and,
so to say, thoroughly scientific.
At this moment the reflections
of Prof. Bright were interrupted
by the ringing of the telephone
belL V
"Hello! hello! Is Prof. Bright
there?”
"Yes,” answered the doctor
surlily, as if angered at the un-
welcome interruption.
‘ Wm. Macrof, of 129, 29th
avsoue, is badly hurt,” came
back the answer from the tele-
phone. "His workmen wore j ust
peeking some preserves for the
Patagonian army, when one of
the heavy boxes fell on his arm,
smashing it badly. The loss of
blood is frightful; please come
"Without delay. ”
"Coming immediately,” tele-
phoned Prof. Bright.
He rang for his servant, and
had him put the electric carriage
.ip read inane. Within a few mo
meats he was fairly on his way
to 29th avenue.
Hs found the owner of the
greatest fruit-packing and pre
serving establishment of the
country; the multi-millionaire
lying on a couch, which was al
ready drenched with blood. The
right arm of Mr. Macrof was
Hear fully lacerated, and the
wounded man, faint from loss of
bioodi, could only speak with a
great effort.
"My dear doctor,” groaned
Mr.;1aacrof, “wiUitnot be pos-

you see why I am so anxious to
be cured; you understand why
you meat perform a wonder—
make the impossible possible.”
Prof. Bright rubbed his eye-
glasses, felt of the mutilated arm,.
and then answered with precision.
“Tomorrow, at the latest, your
arm must be amputated from the
elbow. Be thankful that you
have called me: another would
have cut it off from the shoulder* ”
"I will pay you two huudred
thousand dollars if you preserve

lionaire.

Mr. Wight met the professor
half way and invited him to a
seat.
"Dear friend,” he said, "how
can I be-of any use to you? Tell
me what you desire, and although
I have a great deal to attend to,
I shall devote as much time as I
can to you.”
The professor, without making
any farther preliminaries, asked:
"When will John Ainsbury be
put to death?”
"My dear doctor, I am aston-
ished! that you, the busiest man
in town, should still have the
time and inclination to take an
interest in this wretch! This
American Bluebeard, who was
caught red-handed in tfie act of
strangling his seventh wife!”
And having given vent to his
surprise, the chief looked through
his papers and said: "I see that
the execution will take place
next week. Would you like to
be present? Shall I give you a
permit?”
"Oh, I would ask for some-
thing more difficult to grant.”
"Ask for anything you please;
it would be impossible to refuse
anything to a man of such learn-
ing and excellence. And should
it even be a request for half of
my fortune,” continued Mr.
Wight, laughidg, “although that
wouldn’t amount to much, as I
have spent the greater part of
my next year’s income on beauti-
ful Miss Catherine Bell. Little
enough that is, not even enabling
me to pay the paltry sum of
$20,000 she owes to Jeweler Sil-
vers tone.”—
"Dear friend,” interrupted the
professor, "let us be frank:
Would it not be possible to have
this Ainsbury executed tomor-
row, already?”
"Impossible! Not to be thought

Mamma—Why did you let

he kissed me. "—Troy Times.

"Goodbye. Mr. Wight; au

receipted bill of Silverstone shall

"My dep*r director, it is true, is

to that effect.”

"Done,” said Ainsbury, "I ac-
ipt your proposition.”
In the early morning of the
next day there lay in a large,
bright room of the Sheeptown
jail on two tables close to one an-
other, the bodies of Mr. Macrof,
the rich fruit packer, and John
Ainsbury, tbe condemned" -crimi-
nal. Prof. Joseph, aided hf his
assistant, undertook the oper
tion. In a few minutes both the
lacerated arm of the packer aud
the sound arm of the delinquent
were amputated, and the latter
was at once sewed on to the
shoulder of the millionaire.
The operation was a complete
success. Joseph Bright, the fa-
mous professor of surgery^ had
giyen a new arm to tbe million
aire, Macrof, without the latter
having the slightest cognizance
of this fact.
And Macrof, duly ‘grateful for
the miraculous preservation of
what he thought was his own
arm, paid not oqly the stipulated
fee of one million dollars with-
out demur, but bought for the
bride of the great professor, the
beautiful Dr. Arabella, a magnifi-
cent ring valued at something
like $20,000.

"Impossible!”
‘‘Five hundred thousand.”
"Impossible!'’
“A million! a million dollars!”
"We shalh see what can be
done,” said Prof. Bright: ‘*Do
not excite yourself; that would
cause a rise of temperature, per-
haps fever. Remain perfectly
quiet; tomorrow at six in -(he
morning I shall be here again.”

"Quite right;” answered Prof.
Bright, while placing a handful
of banknotes upon the t.tble,
"but it would perhaps be per-
missible to make an exception in
the interest of science.”
"That is a fact. And where
the revered interests of science
are concerned,” said the guardian
of public welfare, taking up the
banknotes and slipping them un-

W nat are tbe issues upon
biclF the the Democratic party
will appeal to the people of the
United States for their support
in the forthcoming presidential
election? That question is
answered in a striking article in
the June number of the North
American Review by no less an
authority than Mr. W. J. Bryan.
The fundamental issue, Mr.
Bryan insists, is the issue be-
tween plutocracy and Democracy
since specific questions of nation-
al policy, in their last analysis,
will disclose the conflict between
the dollar and the man. Mr.
Bryan illustrates his thesis by a
discussion of tbe attitude of the
two great parties toward money
the trusts and so-called imperial-
ism, denouncing the conduct of
the Republican party and of the
administration in respect of
these three great questions, and
warning his readers that if they
would keep the Republic in the
safe path to which tbe fathers stances. With these he is king,
committed it, they must deliver | ever master of the situation.—

The Magic of Self-Confidence,
Success.
A man’s success in life is usu-
ally in the proportion to the con-
fidence in himself and the energy
and persistence with which he
persues his aim. In this com-
peting age, there is little hope
for the man who does not thor-
oughly believe in himself. The
man who can be easily discour-
aged or turned aside from his
purpose—tbO man who has no
iron in his blood—will never win.
Half the giant’s strength is in
the conviction-that he is a giant.
The strength of a muscle is en-
hanced a hundred fpld by the
will power. The same muscle,
when removed from the giaolV
arm; when divorced from the
force of the mighty will, can sus-
tain but a fraction of tne weight
it did a moment before it was
disconnected. Oh, wbatmiraoles
confidence has wrought! what im-
possible deeds it has helped to
perform! It took Napoleon over
the Alps in midwinter; it took
it took Farrgut and Dewey past
the cannons, torpedoes and mines
of the enemy; it led Nelson and
Grant to victory; it has been tjie
great tonic in the world of'dis-
covery, invention and art; ft has
helped to win the thousand tri-
umphs in war and science which
were deemed impassible. * The
man without self-confidence and
an iron will is the plaything of
chance, the puppet of his envir-
onment, the slave of circum-
the hands of the Democratic
party. Mr. Bryan is emphatic
in his denunciation of “trusts."
Tbe GOd-made men do not
differ greatly in size or strength,
tlhey labor under similar con-
ditions as to life and health, and
they are subject to the same
moral restraints. Competition
between them, therefore, is
reasonably equal and fair. But
corporafions differ in size, in
strength and in longevity; and,
having no life beyond the grave,
have neither the fear of future
punishment nor the hope of
future reward to restrain them.
Competition, therefore, between
the natural man and tbe great
corporation may be grossly un-
equal and unfair. The line must
be drawn at the point where the
corporation seeks to establish; a
monopoly and deprive the in-
dividuals or smaller corporations
of the right to compete. In oth-
er words, the legislation neces-
sary at this time must be direct-
ed against private monopoly in
whatever form it appears. Those
who desire to protect society
from the evil results of the trust
must take the position that a
private monopoly is indefensible
and intolerable. The power to
control the price of anything
which tbe people need can not
safely be entrusted to any pri-
vate individual or association of
individuals, because selfishness
is universal and the temptation
to use such a power for personal
advantage is too great.”

to-day by a report that the Rev-
erend E. E. Dixon, a prominent
Methodist clergyman of East
Stroudsburg, will called upon to
defend in court a prayer offered
calling for divine vengeance on
the big brewery, which is now
being built by local capitalists.
When tf»e construction of the
brewery was begun, it was made
the object of a vehement prayer
by tbe minister, in which he cell-
ed upon God to strike it with
lightning. Shortly alter, daring
a violent storm, lightening'■track
the brewery, partially wrecking
it, and also knocking from a lad-
der two sons of another Metho-
dist minister, who were at work
there. No one was killed and
the brewery was not burned, but
the coincidence created much
comment..
The heaviest words in our
language are the two briefest
ones, ‘'yes" and "no.” One
stands for tbe surrender of the
will, the other for denial. One
stands for gratification the other
for character — Theodore T.
M unger.
With a buff brick depot, an

Honey Grove a correct imitation
of a horse laughter.—Clarksyille
