I have a very fine position in a bank. It
Is about half way between the president
and the cashier. This may seem like
boasting, but it is true. The president’s
room is on one side of me and the cashier’s
desk on the other. They both watch me,
and, incidentally, the former watches the
latter and the latter watches the former,
and vice versa.
The bank would not lose anything if I
fled, except my services, and at their own
estimate this would not be a serious calam-

on me for $15,000. I pay the company 5
per cent a year for this bond, and my wife
and I live on what is left of my salary. I
have every inducement to honesty, includ-
ing a detective from the fidelity company
who follows me into drug stores and drinks
soda water at my expense. If I should
wink at the druggist by accident, the de-
tective would report me to the company
and I should lose my position. I will be
faithful to my trust. I will never touch a
dollar of the money which I earn but don’t
get. I will starve to death first, by jingo,
and the sooner the better.

butshe made me sit up ana keep guard. I
pass over the horrors of that night. Maud
said that in a week or two she hoped to be
familiar enough with the place to sleep
without anybody on the watch except her
poodle, Claude, which she had brought to
Oklahoma for protection and sympathy.
I had depended on the discomforts of
the hat to bring Maud to a proper appre-
ciation of the merits of New York city as
a place of residence, but to my deep disap-
pointment she arose in the morning feel-
ing quite well. She cooked some flapjacks
cheerfully and then sat down to play with
Claude and wait for the surrounding real
estate to Improve in value so that we could
sell out and return with wealth in our
clothes. She insisted meanwhile that I
should go out and take a claim, or plow a
couple acres of ground, or do something
else to indicate an active and ambitious
spirit. She said she did not want the In-
dians when they called to get an idea that
I was lazy.
This was not what I had bargained for,
and I resolved to do something right away
that would make Oklahoma unpopular in
our family. At this moment I caught
sight of Uncle Zephe’s boy Jim peering
round the corner of a tree. Maud did not
see him. I excused myself on the ground
that I was going out to buy a yoke of oxen
and intercepted Jim, with whom I put up
a job against Maud’s peace of mind. We
agreed that he should come down in the
afternoon as an Indian, with a horse
blanket, war paint and a carving knife,
and if necessary scalp Claude aud create
any other disturbance calculated to harrow
up’my wife’s feelings.
When I went back to the hut Maud was
getting ready for dinner. She had discov-
ered a couple of dozen of eggs in the cor-
ner, which Uncle Zephe had thoughtfully
left for us.
“Oh, Howdy,” she said, “just see all
these nice eggs that the prairie chickens
have laid for us. Wasn’t it just too sweet
of them?” '
I said it was indeed and she began to
get ready some dropped eggs on toast.

OUR NEW HOME AT OKLAHOMA.
But my wife is not satisfied. She says I
have no ambition. She urges me to go
somewhere and do something. She would
if she were a man. A short time ago she
suggested Oklahoma.
Oklahoma having once gotten into the
family there was no peace. I saw that I
must yield or die, so I resolved to compro-
mise.
“My dear,” said I; “we will go.”
Then I wrote to my uncle Zephas Blake,
who has a farm in western‘New York, as
follows:
Dear Uncle Zephe—Will you kindly
lend me the old shanty in the woods back
of your pasture. My wife wants to camp
out. If It is in pretty good repair will you
please knock off a board or two as Maude
is something awful on the subject of venti-
lation. Your affectionate nephew.
P. S. Maude will do the cooking for us.
Please fix it so I can crawl up to the house
and get a square meal. Please don’t show
yourself around the place for Maud is
nervous.
Maud has no idea of locality. No
woman ever has. In regard to Oklahoma
she knew that we must go by ferry to
Jersey City and then take a train some-
where. That was what we did, after
Maud had packed up our goods and chat-
tels. She wore her best clothes because
she said that we couldn’t be too careful
about making a favorable impression at
the very beginning.

SMILED BROADLY INTO MAUD’S FACE.
We took an accommodation train and I
was not surprised that Maud thought we
had traversed the whole United States
when, in the edge of the evening, we got
out at Blake’s Four Comers and started
across lots for the hut. I had roamed that
country a boy, but somehow it was more
attractive then. When Maud and I, after
RESCUED BY SIX-FINGERED PETE.
At that moment one of my uncle’s cows,
which had strayed down into the woods,
put her head through a hole in the side of
the hut and smiled broadly in Maud’s
face. Now if there is anything that can
scare my ivife into hysterics it is a cow.
She cast one glance upon the sudden ap-
parition and fell upon the. floor in a dead
faint. As she fell she kept hold of the
handle of the frying-pan, and its contents
struck the writer in the back of the neck.
What he said so shocked the moral sen-
sibilities of the cow that she hastily with-
drew.
By the time that I had resuscitated Maud
she was in a condition to hear adverse argu-
ment in relation to Oklahoma. She had
had no idea that there would be any cows
there. “Only cowboys,” she said, “and
I’m not afraid of them.”
I was telling her of the number, variety
and iniquity of the cows in Oklahoma when
a piercing shriek awoke the echoes of the
forest and Jim hove in sight. He was the
worst looking Indian that I ever saw, and
his make-up was calculated to produce a
serious effect upon anybody who possessed
a sense of the ludicrous. But Maud didn’t
see it in that light. She took him for gen-
uine manifestation, and the way she slid
out of the hut and made tracks across lots
was a wonder. Jim went after her with a
first-class imitation war whoop. About
100 yards from the hut he treed her. There
was an old trunk with branches arranged
on it like the spokes of a ladder and Maud
managed to scramble up. Jim was laugh-
ing so hard that he couldn’t chase her. At
this interesting juncture Uncle Zephe ap-
peared.
“Here, you, Jim!” he shouted—but Jim
didn’t wait to hear the .rest of it. He made
tracks to avoid the paternal wrath.
“That’s Six-Fingered Pete, the terror of
the Cherokees,” I wispered to Maud,
pointing to Uncle Zephe. “Didn’t you
see the Indian run when he appeared?” '
Maud got down out of the tree and ap-
proached Uncle Zephe, with tears in her
eyes.
“Mr. Six-Fingered Pete,” she said, in a
trembling voice, “you’ve saved my life.
Oh! take me away from Oklahoma!”
“Lordlove ye, gal,” he said. “What’s
got inter ye? My name aint Pete, and I

of his rural simplicity and guileless con-
versation on the wa v to the Four Corners
Rebecca Harding Davis, in the New
5Tork Independent, writes as follows:
The readers of the Independent have
no doubt seen in the daily papers the
story of a workingman named Sillars,
an industrious, sober fellow, with a
wife and child dependent on h im, who,
losing his position in the Cellonite
works at Arlington, went to Connecti-
cut in search of work. Ho wandered
through the state for two or three
weeks with no success, and at last,
penniless and starving, was driven to
beg a cup of coffee from a farmer’s
wife. The woman refused it and
caused his arrest. He was tried, con-
victed of having begged for food, and
sentenced to a month’s imprisonment
and a fine of $30. This is the lightest
punishment awarded in Connecticut, it
appears, to any man or woman who
asks for food. This man, be it under-
stood, was gentle and civil in manner,
quietly telling his piteous story.
Sillars escaped from jail and re-
turned home, but was-reclaimed by the
state of Connecticut and hauled back
to serve out his full term.
His wife and children, being home-
less and without food, were cared for
by some kindly neighbors, almost as
poor as themselves.
My readers will probably recall an-
other incident which occurred in New
York city a few years ago, which bears
the same significance as this story. A
woman, driven from her home by a
drunken husband, with a starving
child in her arms, walked one bitter
winter’s night from one great charita-
ble institution to another and was re-
jected by all, because she had not the
requsite papers of admission. The law
forbade her to beg at any private
house. She sat down at last on the
steps of a church, and there, whi le the
well-meaning worshippers passed in to
their prayers, the baby froze to death.
Now. what do these incidents telgus
of the condition and temper of the
Christian people who throw a starv-
ing man into prison because he asks
for food, and who allow a baby to
freeze to death rather than break the
red-tape regulations of asylums?
Not that they are wanting in pity
for the poor, or unwilling to help them.
Never, since the world began, was
the feeling of brotherhood which
Christ taught as strong in it as it is
now.
But it shows its strength by united
efforts rather than by individual
action. The Lady Bountiful no longer
doles out flannels, soup and good coun-
sel to men and women (every one of
whom she knows), or feels herself res-
ponsible for their clothes, stomachs
and morality. She belongs to a Guide
or au Association for the Suppression
of Mendicancy, and trusts to its ma-
chinery to do this gracious work for
her.
I know all the arguments in favor
of these organizations, and acknowl-
edge their force. The country, we are
told, is overrun with tramps and pro-
fessional beggars. It is not the duty
of the industrious Christian to encour-
age them by indiscriminate alms-
giving. Give your money to the
board of charities, or the Society for
the Suppression of Beggary, and their
agents will take care that it reaches
only the worthy poor, etc.
This is all true enough, and the
oi’ganized machinery is fit and useful,
unless it happens to fall into the hands
of mercenary, tricky men, as it
times does.
But its purpose, be it remembered
is the protection of well-to-do people
from impostors, rather than the heips
of the poor, m the eyes of the Socie-
ty for the Suppression of Mendicancy,
or of the law-makers of Connecticut,
every man who asks for food is
scoundrel anu fraud until he proves
himself otherwise.
You, a Christian, give your money
to the agents of this society, and hence-
forth wash your hands of all care of
your needy brother. The agents will
visit him, question him, and relieve
him, if they see fit. He will not dare
to ask you personally for help and
sympathy.
This work of protection done by
these organizations is doubtless a good,
admirable work.
But it is not the work which Christ
exacted from you and me, and which
he never intended we should hand over
to any agent or visitor. The damage
done by these organizations to Chris-
tianity is that they offer to relieve us
of that duty and soon make us willing
to shirk it.
No Christian can throw the saving
of his brother’s soul on to a board or a
committee. And how can his soul grow
stronger or higher, or how can he lift
his brother out of the mire if he does
not come into direct, helpful contact
with him? It is the first duty laid
down for us by the Elder Brother of us
all. We must visit, feed, help the
sick, the poor, the prisoner, in person,
not by agents, giving to the work what-
ever intelligence, zeal and tenderness
is in us. No plausible argument of
political economists can free us from
this obligation. It is childish preju-
dice to find a tramp in every man out
of work, or a criminal in every wretch
that is starving. The poor to whom
we owe help still are with us always.
The course of conduct which Christ
prescribed for us in this matter is the
6tory and used her influence to find him
work she would have helped a whole
family back to usefulness and respect-
ability and have elevated her own na-
ture. When she caused his arrest as a
criminal she made paupers of his wife
and child. The state of Connecticut
also expended nearly $100 upon the
case, which will be paid by the indus-
trious taxpayer.
But it is not the economic bearing of
the case that I wish to urge upon my
readers, especially on the women at
whose gates stands the hungry wretch—
the possible tramp. It is the fact that
they, individually, owe care and help
to him, be he honest or a thief. No
middleman, in the shape of agent or
society, can pay that debt for them.
God gives them this opportunity to
stretch out a helping hand to their
brother. The more of a fraud or a
criminal he is the more be needs it.
Someday hereafter he will hold reckon-
ing with them to know how they have
used that opportunity.
She Hated Monotony.
“Maude,” he said, with a quivering
quaver in the vowel sounds—“Maude,
three weeks ago to-night I asked you
to marry me.”
“You did.”
“And you said ‘No.’ ”
“That was my answer.”
“Two weeks ago to-night I asked’
you the same question.”
“I remember.”
“And you made the same reply ”
“I did.”
“A week ago I asked you to be my
wife and you said ‘No’ again.”
“Yes.”
“You have bad another week to
think the matter over and I called to
see whether you had arrived at any
other conclusion. ”
She reflected a moment and then said
gently :
“Harry, I recognize the fact that
each time I have answered you in pre-
cisely the same way. There has been
nothing in my replies so far to relieve
the similarity.” Then after another
pause she said still more softly :
“Harry, I should hate very much to
be considered monotonou s. ”

ther answer.—Merchant Traveler.

Treatment of Sprains.
Sprains demand careful treatment.
When a large joint is affected there is
often considerable constitutional dis-
turbance, fever, rapid pulse, etc. It
has often been said that a bad sprain
is worse than a fracture. It is certain-
ly a very serious trouble, especially it
the ligaments which bind the bone
together are lacerated.
Perfect rest to the affected limb is
the most essential measure, and a splint
should be used in its support. Tc
lessen the supply of blood to the in-
jured member during the inflammatory
stage, it should be elevated aud cold
applied. Coid applications should be
made to the joint either by cloths
wrung out of cold water, or by pow-
dered ice tied up in towels or in a rub-
ber bag. A very convenient method
of keeping the cloths wet without
changing them is as follows: Fill a
pitcher or some other vessel with
water, and place it higher than the
limb. Moisten a string- or a strip of
linen, and place one end of it in the
water; let the other end hang on the
outside, and rest in on the cloths which
cover the injured part. The water
will be continuously conducted along
the string or linen used.
The application of cold should be
persisted in until the inflammation has
subsided: the swelling may then be re-
duced by bandaging, uniform pressure
and firmness being used. More or
less stiffness of the joint will remain
for a time; this may be overcome by
g'entle movements, if they do not ex-
cite more than momentary pain. If,
however, tlie pain is more or less per-
sistent, then the part must be kept
still longer at rest. Theloesl treat-
ment to restore the action is much the
} as in chronic rheumatism.
Stimulating liniments may be used; it
matters but little which is selected:
