DAVIS,
Recalls Dreyfus Case.
Another French officer has been con-
victed of attempting to sell set rets to
a foreign power and has been con-
demned to life imprisonment in a fort-
ress and, of course, to be degraded
from his rank in the navy. This recalls
the case of Capt. Dreyfus, largely be-
cause it is different. There has al-
ways been a strong suspicion that the
Dreyfus affair was a "put up job" in
so far as the accusations against that
unfortunate man were concerned.
Certainly no conclusive proof that he
was guilty of treasonable acts was
ever submitted, while the wicked con-
duct of some of his accusers wa3
amply demonstrated. In the latest in-
stance the accused person has mado
full confession, or at least is officially
reported to have done so, after being
"caught with the goods." But even
with the strong testimony against him,
remarks the Troy (N. Y.) Times, he
was not humiliated as was Dreyfus,
who for various reasons was the vic-
tim of peculiarly venomous persecu-
tion, though dilatory justice was final-
ly done.
A new piece of machinery for the as-
similation of immigrants is the night-
school in labor camps. Like so many
other useful agencies of the day, it has
been carried to successful develop-
ment by a woman, who has organized
such schools among the unskilled la-
borers whom contractors employ. In
most of the camps where these schools
have been established, about one-third
of the men usually attend. Instruc-
tion In English, which is the bait, has
been given in a most unusual way. In-
stead of learning from primers that
"this is a cat," the adult pupils learn
from special text-books that "this is a
pick," and discover the importance of
understanding and knowing how to
say, "Get out of the way," "Listen,"
"Here comes the train," and "Do you
want a job?" Not the least interesting
of the effects which these schools have
had is the transforming of disorderly
and dangerous camps into quiet and
peaceful communities.
The decision of the supreme court
of the United States, that the law owes
a larger degree of protection to women
than to men, both in common justice
and in regard to the welfare of the
race, will be received with various
sentiments. Some of the advocates of
the feminine cause generally will com-
mend it; tfle more strenuous advo-
cates of equal rights may resent It as
a concession to the inferiority of wom-
en as the weaker sex. Those directly
concerned, however—the laboring
class of women—will gladly welcome
the protection this gallantry of the
government declares they shall have;
and, as a matter of fact, if somebody
has to suffer in consequence of the de-
cision, ii is better to suffer in theory
than in practice; so those who resent
the implied weakness of women will
have to bear the weight of the decision
as best they may.
A man in New York carelessly
tossed away in his home the cigar he
had been smoking. The still-lighted
end fell into an open can of varnish,
with a resulting explosion, endanger
ing many lives and $500 loss to the
careless smoker. Of late the lighted
cigar or cigarette end is figuring out
of all proportion as the cause of fires
some of them fatal, all more or less ex-
pensive. Hut still, the ends are being
thrown away carelessly every day, and
It is owing only to Providence that
such fires are not more frequent thac
they are.
The American Machinist says smoke-
lessness can be obtained by perfect
combustion, "and approximately per-
fect combustion can be obtained by
proper boiler and furnace design and
arrangement." This is not new in-
formation, but is very well understood
by engineers and builders, yet the
newest buildings, erected in other re-
spects according to the most modern
ideas, neglect to provide these proper
arrangements. At least the heavy
smoke issuing from their chimneys
would indicate as much.
A New York interviewer, describing
a meeting with a certain successful
actress, says: "When she shakes hands
one feels instinctively that she has ac-
complished something in the world."
As there is nothing in an actresses'
trade to produce callouses on her
palms or to make her horny-handed,
the reader is left to wonder at the
keenness of the interviewer's instinct
A Chicago woman went into hyster-
ics and called for the police because
she had been attacked by a "hugger,"
and later it was discovered that in-
stead of a bold, bad man, a bear had
embraced her. This must have been
disappointing enough to bring on an-
other attack of- hysterics.
MADE THE BLUFF TOO STRONG.
One Case Where Theory and Practice
Didn't Seem to Hitch.
Frederick Sterry of New Yorlt s fa-
mous Plaza thoel was talking about
the crush that restaurants experience
on New Year's eve, Washington's
birthday and other holidays. "Hut I
must not boast," said Mr. Sterry. "It
is bad luck. A grocer in my boyhood
told me that. The grocer said that
he had once engaged a new boy, and
had exhorted this boy always to give
customers the impression that they
were very busy.
" 'Wehther we are actually busy or
no, say so,' the grocer said. 'Tell peo-
ple we are. for they like to deal with
birsk, go-ahead firms that do a large
trade.'
"Well, an hour or so later a brough-
am drove up, and the rich judge's
wife entered. She did not stay long.
The boy looked after her. And on her
departure the grocer said to the
boy:
" 'Did Mrs. Judge Drown leave a
very large order, James?'
" 'She was goin' to,' said the boy.
'She had a list as long as yer arm.
Hut I locked mad and told her we was
so busy I hardly seed how I could
stop to tend to her, so she said, bein'
as she was in a hurry, she'd just go
next door.'"
When Drenton Found Out
By MARTHA M'CULLOCH WILLIAMS
The Wisdom of Experience.
There was no doubt in tlie minds of
the Hobart family that young James
had a remarkable gift. It remained
for an obscure uncle from the Cape
to drop a word of caution and of
worldy wisdom.
"You say he's wonderful farseeing,
and can tell folk just how things are
going to turn out?" he inquired.
"Yes, it seems so," said James'
adoring mother.
"Well, now, if you want him to be
the most onpop'lar man anywhere
round, you just let him foretell and
prophesy and forecast," remarked the
old uncle, grimly.
"If you want him to keep a few i
friends you must shunt hi'm off to !
some other track. Let him work out !
sums in his head. That's a harmless (
practice."
"But why?" faltered the mother.
"Just this," answered the authority ;
from down on the Cape. "When he j
prophesies thing'll go wrong and they !
do go wrong, the heft of the blame'll |
be laid straight on his shoulders. !
When he says they'll go right, and j
they do, folks be too busy enjoying
themselves to remember your James. ;
And when he says they'll go wrong and
they go right, they'll call him a fool, j
Now, I'm above 70, and you mind what I
tell ye."—Youth's Companion.
Odd Animals in Harness.
The horse must look to his laurels,
as a number of odd competitors for
his place as the friend of man ara
springing up.
At Andheim, a German settlement
in southern California, ostriches have
been trained to draw light four-
wheeled traps. One of these birds
so harnessed has traveled a mile in
three minutes, or at a rate of 20 miles
an hour.
The African zebra was formerly re-
garded as being too wild and too vi-
cious to be of use in harness. But
time has changed this, and now in
British East Africa any number of
zebras can be purchased ready trained
to bit and bridle. The zebra will be
found most useful in Africa and India,
as it is exceedingly strong, a fast trot-
ter and immune from many diseases
which attack horses.
Perhaps the oddest animal in har-
ness is the wild boar which is driven
by a French peasant at Montlucon.
It is now three years old and able to
draw a small two-wheeled cart. As
a bit is of no use the reins are at-
tached to the animal's eye teeth.
To Be Investigated.
"Since Louis Ferrari began the pros-
ecution of these impure milk cases."
remarked one of a group at the
Olympic club, "he's suspicious of any-
thing that looks like milk."
"How so?" ventured one of the lis-
teners.
"Well, one of the fellows had a bot-
tle of emulsion of cod liver oil, white
stuff, the vilest dope a man ever
tasted. It was in a plain, big-necked
bottle. 'Where'd they get that stuff?'
asked Ferrari.
" 'I think,' said Andrew Glarner, 'I
think Jack Gleason got it from his
brother's place.'
" 'Ah,' exclaimed Ferrari, 'I don't
care if Jack is a member of the club,
I'm going after his brother's dairy.
I put some of that milk in my coffee
this morning, and it was all to the
bad.' "—San Francisco Chronicle.
A Wa.-'-ington physician declares
that "dying is a most delicious sensa-
tion," but probably no one will be in-
terested enough to come back and dis-
puto him.
The Detroit man who spent $4,BOO
on his wedding trip didn't lose any
time in disproving the statement that
two can live as cheaply as one.
Mark Twain has just enough finan-
cial trouble to keep him from being
tempted to abandon literary activity
and rest on his income.
Anna Gould is still paying some of
the count's debts. It is mighty hard
to jar an impecunious count loose from
his meal ticket
No Reason at All.
Joseph Richards, the Detroit jockey,
complained on his return from Russia
of the fall in jockeys' fees there.
"Of course they give you reasons
for this fall," he said. "People always
have their reasons, their more or less
ridiculous reasons. It's like a Detroit
fish man. Once a relative of mine
went to this man to get some fish, and
found that they were selling very
high. She complained, and the man
said:
" 'Fish is dear, ma'am; oh, yes, very
dear. You see, it's getting so scarce
on account of all these here aqua-
riums.' "
Victory So-Cr.lled.
James Carroll, the amateur light-
weight boxing champion of San Fran-
cisco, said at the end of a recent
women's boxing and fencing exhibi-
tion:
"Physical culture among women,
women's growing strength and pluck,
lend interest to marriage, change mar-
riage's complexion.
" 'How is poor Smithers gettin'
on?' asked one man to another.
" 'Well,' said the other, 'Smithers is
now almost recovered from the beatin'
he gave his wife last Saturday night.'"
A Sure Sign.
"Oh!" exclaimed Miss Gusch at the
art exhibition. "Here's a clever thing
in oil—'When the Cat's Away.' It
isn't signed; I wonder who painted
it—"
"Evidently a woman," replied Mr.
Shoude. "Look at the mice; see what
a ferocious expression she has given
them."

There wes a dip in the path from
the gate to the steps, only a little in-
cline, but enough to make the house
appear to meet chance comers in an
j attitude at once discrept and confl-
| dential. The hollyhocks arow along
! tho edge of the porch added a sense
| of seclusion. They were tall and
lush and branchy enough to screen
1 the whole porch space throughout the
' pleasant weather. People wondered
not a little that the Grcers did not
' plant vines instead—vines were so
much more graceful and lasting; then,
| too, since everybody had them, they
; must be the right thing.
Drenton was sick of right things;
therefore, to see the hollyhocks, at
j their best in a blaze of midsummer
j sunshine, was to resolve that he would
j live with them for the next fortnight
at least. He turned in through the
j sagging green gate with the free step
of assured welcome. It did not in
the least astonish him to have some
I one say from out the hollyhock am-
bush: "Come in, though I don't be-
lieve you can have any business
here."
"You are mistaken," Drenton said,
smiling faintly. "Settling oneself is
always a fearful business. You'll help
me? Oh, I know you don't take board-
ers—there is no look of boarders, not
the least—but you'll let me stay?"
"1 can't tell until Mary sees you.
She's away—won't be back for an
hour," the voice replied. It was a
man's voice, high-pitched and weak,
yet not unpleasant. Peering within
the leafy shade Drenton saw a wheel-
chair heaped with pillows, among
which there sat a drawn figure, piti-
fully distorted. But the man's face
was fresh-colored, almost handsome,
and a little tanned. He held out a
knotted hand to Drenton, as he added:
"I sha'n't say a word. She'd let you
stay if she thought I wanted you even
the least bit. I should like to have
you—you look new and strange.
Strangers are precious when you've
been fast in one spot for 12 years."
Denton shivered, yet shook the
crippled hand warmly and sat down
facing the wheel-chair. "I sha'n't
make trouble for—Mary," he said,
smiling, yet gulping a little over the
name. "Tell mo about her—and
yourself—before she comes. Then I
shall know better If I ought to ask
shelter here. I want to stay badly,
and yet—"
"There is little to tell—now. Once
I thought there was a great deal,"
the man, William Greer, said, sigh-
ing faintly. "That was before I un-
derstood—when I was ready, almost,
to curse God and die. You see, I mar-
ried Mary partly because I was so
sorry for her. She had had hard lines,
taking care of two on an income not
half big enough for one.* Tt was her
stepmother she took care of. and the
woman hadn't been overly kind. But
she had nobody else, so when the hus-
band died, just after she fell ill, Mary
stayed by her as though it were a
thing of course. How she did it no-
body knows. There was only the
house, and two hundred a year from
Mary's mother. The stepmother was
five years dying, and Maiy somehow
saved enough to bury her. But the
strain told on her; she was faded and
scrawny—looked nearer 50 than 30.
We were just of an age, and I, too,
had been taking care of people in-
stead of looking out for myself. They
were my own people—brothers, sis-
ters, and grandmother. Granny willed
the farm to the other boya, and what
money she had to the girls—'because
my dear grandson William is so well
able to take care of himself.' The
others thought the will very just.
Maybe I'd looked for something a little
different. Anyway, I married Mary,
almost out of hand. And the very
next week came rheumatic fever—to
leave me as you see "
"And Mary?" Drenton breathed
rather than spoke.
Greer smiled wanly, yet with an
illumined look. "Mary didn't com-
plain—then nor ever. I had a trifle
of money saved—enough to buy this
place. Her old home had gone to pay
some of her father's debts as soon as
it was free of the dower right.
There's a bit of ground behind—it's
been our salvation. She plants things
there, and kepes me out in the sun-
shine while she is tending them."
"You look to her for—everything?"
Drenton asked.
Greer smiled again. "There's never
any question of looking to between
us," he said. "At first—for a whole
month—I prayed to die. Say, rather,
I fought to die—the idea of a man liv-
ing on and on, a clog and burden to
the woman he had married—"
"I understand," Drenton inter-
rupted. "Death, whatever may come
after, must be joy beside that."
"Mary must talk to you—why, yon-
der she comes!" Greer said, his face
lighting vividly. A tallish woman,
sunburned and slightly stooped, hur-
ried along the path.
Drenton rose, holding out his hand
to her; he dared not raise his eyes to
her face, they were so very dim. "If
only you'll let me stay awhile," he
said plaintively, "I'll work in the gar-
den and look after the chicks, and
even pull a donkey-cart if nothing
else will serve."
Drenton stayed. Before a week
was out there was mutual wonder as
to how the Groers had got on so long
without him. He was deliciously awk-
ward at everything, yet ready for any-
thing.
Mary knew that somewhere a
woman's heart was breaking for this
fine young fellow, soft-handed, well-
made. full of charm, but slie did no
■pying; that did not belong to her
Drenton's mind often went to the
many things Hilly and Mary lacked
through needing money. The roof had
begun to leak badly, the well needed
a new curb; moreover, there \f!is the
donkcy-cart still unrealized, not to
name warm carpets and better ways
of heating the house. Mary was
brave as she was thrifty; her hat
looked as though it had never been
new. She stayed away from church
through lack of Sunday clothes, yet
Billy was coddled and nourished until
he was driven to protest. Something
must be done, and quickly, befora
there came the pinch of winter.
Drenton could do it, at no more sac-
rifice than that of a little pride. He
owed it to Billy, and especially to
Mary, to make the sacrifice. It was
only his word, rash and Ill-condi-
tioned, that would need to be broken.
Late, so late his candle had begun
to gutter, he sat staring at a letter,
brief and blurred. "Elizabeth," it ran,
"I said I would ask for nothing. I am
not asking for myself, but for the best
people alive. They are husband and
wife, immeasurably rich in each
other, yet so poor a thousand dollars
will be wealth to them. Send it,
please. He is a cripple and helpless.
She does everything foi him. and he
loves her enough to rejoice, not re-
bel."
There was little more beyond the ad-
dress and signature. Drenton crept
out to mail it, half hating himself for
writing it, yet somehow deep down
there was a song in his heart. The
song strengthened all the next day
A REMARKABLE MAN.
GLAD TO HAVE HIM GO.
Active and Bright, Though Almost a
Centenarian.
Shepard Kollock, of 44 Wallace St.,
Red Bank, N. J., is a remarkable man
at the ago of 98.
For 40 years he was
a victim of kidney
troubles and doctors
said he would never
be cured. "I was
trying everything,"
say3 Mr. Kollock,
"but my back was lame and weak,
and every exertion sent a sharp
twinge through me. I had to get up
several times each night and the kid-,
ney secretions contained a heavy sedi-
ment. Recently I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills, with fine results. They
have given me entire relief."

Facing the Enemy.
Two veterans of the civil war were
in the habit of "jollying" each other
j in regard to a lack of valor on the
| field of battle.
1 "Why," said the one, "at the very
first engagement, when the order was
given to retreat, you were so scared
j that you threw down your arms and
' ran for dear life."
! "Nonsense," replied the other.
| "That was the time I got the three
! flesh wounds in the chest. If I'd been
i running away, as you claim, I would
have been shot in the back."
"Oh, no, you wouldn't," returned his
friend. "The reason you got shot in
the chest was because you took to
the river and were trying to get away
in a rowboat."
Just mere shadows of their former
selves.
He Sat Staring at a Letter.
and the next, but on the third morn-
ing it was ended. There had been
more than time, yet Elizabeth had not
answered his appeal.
They were setting next year's
strawberries, with Billy a little way
off, admonishing his chickens, young
and old. The house doors stood hos-
pitably open; the green gate was ajar.
Thus there was invitation to a stran-
ger who walked with downcast eyes
until she was fairly upon them. She
was young and slight, with red-golden
hair and velvet dark eyes. Her hand
went timidly to Billy's shoulder as she
said in a pleading voice: "Please call
Lawrence—Mr. Drenton — there is
something I must say to him."
She spoke low, but Drenton heard.
He came toward them, his head high,
but a certain glimmer of shamed
hope in his eyes. Mary was behind
him; she ha4 somehow sensed a cli-
max. It was to her that Elizabeth
spoke, slowly, like a child repeating
a lesson hardly learned. "Tell Law-
rence, please, I knew no more than
he did what was in the will, until it
was too late—"
"ElizabeUi, I knew you did not; but
don't you see how it stung—going to
you for everything when I had been
taught to believe all was to be mine?"
Drenton broke ' in. Elizabeth bowed
her head. Drenton hurried on: "We
grew up together—both wards of my
uncle. He loved Elizabeth and hated
me. Perhaps that was natural enough:
he had loved her mother. But he said
always his money should go to his
blood. Then, when he lay dying, he
made us marry, and by his will Eliza-
beth had all, I nothing."
"So you ran away from her. Fool-
ish, foolish fellow!" Mary said, but
there was no reproach in her eyes.
"Worse than foolish — wicked!"
Drenton answered. "For, you see, I
loved her so dearly I could not bear
to depend on her."
Elizabeth trembled and turned
away her face. Billy reached his
twisted hand to lay it upon her soft
fingers, saying: "Forgive him, Eliza-
beth. He did not know what real
love was—"
"But I think he has found out,"
Mary half whispered.
Drenton raised his eyes. After one
long look he took Elizabeth in hi3
arms, crying softly, exultantly: "You
are here, and I shall keep you. Be-
hold me forever a pensioner—and the
richest man alive."
Asserted His Rights.
John Hunter was a negro given to
chastising his wife.
"You, John," said a neighbor one
day, "Susanna say, ef you don't quit
beatin' her she gwine to de Freedman
bureau!"
"She do. do she?" he replied, with
scorn. "Now, lemme tell yer, wunst
an' fer all! Susanna am my wife! An'
so long as she go 'bout her bizness I
gwine leff her 'lone. But w'en she git
ter cuttin' up I gwine ter beat her, an*
tlier' ain't no bureau nor no sidebode
nor no chist of drors what kin hoi' me
back!"'
Transmitted Snake Bite.
An extraordinary case of snake poi-
soning is reported from a country hos-
pital in Victoria, N. S. W. An old man
was brought In in a comatose state
and showing all the symptoms of hav-
ing been bitten by a venomous snake.
But on investigation it was found he
had been bitten by a dog, which died
almost immediately afterward from
snake bite. Medical treatment was
successful, and the man gradually re-
covered from the snake poison which
the reptile had indirectly transmitted
to him.
Couldn't Take the Case.
"You'll have to send for another
doctor," said the one who had been
called, after a glance at the patient.
"Am I so sick as that?" gasped the
sufferer.
"I don't know just how sick you
are," replied the man of medicine,
"but I know you're the lawyer who
cross-examined me when I appeared
as an expert witness. My conscience
won't let me kill you, and I'll be
hanged if I want to cure you. Good-
day."
Worth a Trial.
Cyrus Townsend Brady, the author
and clergyman, told at a dinner in
Toledo a story about charity.
"A millionaire," said Dr. Brady, "lay
dying. He had lived a life of which,
as he now looked back on it, he felt
none too proud. To the minister at
his bedside he muttered weakly:
" 'If I leave $100,000 or so to the
church, will my salvation be assured?'
"The minister answered cautiously:
" T wouldn't like to be positive, but
It's well worth trying.' "
HAPPY OLD AGE
Long in Weather Bureau.
Dennis Horigan, who is connected
with the United States naval observa-
tory, Washington, is perhaps the old-
est weather man in the United States.
He has been keeping tab on tho
weather for 52 years. Long before the
weather bureau was established Mr.
Horigan was making observations at
the observatory night and day every
three hours, noting the temperature,
the barometric pressure the nature
of the clouds and the direction of the
winds. He was appointed by Presi-
dent Buchanan in 1857, and has been
in the service ever since.
Bought Out Entire Theater.
Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Sr., re-
cently bought out the entire seating
capacity of the New Amsterdam the-
ater, where Henry W. Savage's splen-
did production of "The Merry Widow"
is playing, and gave an extra matinee
performance, disposing of the 1,800
seats in the playhouse to New York's
"Four Hundred." Mrs. Vanderbilt
bought the seats at the usual price
and sold them at a premium. Her
transaction netted $6,000 for the Nas-
sau hospital, in aid of which the per-
formance was given.
Mo3t Likely to Follow Proper Eating.
As old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape-
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
Into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the bran-coat of the wheat, are In-
cluded in Grape-Nuts, but left out of
white flour. They are necessary to
the building of brain and nerve cells.
"I have used Grape-Nuts," writes an
Iowa man, "for 8 years and feel as good
and am stronger than I was ten years
ago. I am over 74 years old, and at-
tend to my business every day.
"Among my customers I meet a man
every day who is 92 years old and at-
tributes his good health to the use of
Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has
used for the last 5 years. He mixes
Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they
go fine together.
"For many years before I began to
eat Grape-Nuts, I could not say that
I enjoyed life or knew what it was to
be able to say 'I am well.' I suffered
greatly with constipation, now my hab-
its are as regular as ever in my life.
"Whenever I make extra effort I
depend on Grape-Nuts food and it just
fills the bill. I can think and write
a great deal easier."

Toil-Gate Keeper Thought He Had
Visit from His Satanic Majesty.
This is not the only age in which
motor cars have created excitement
and disturbance. In 1802 such appari-
tions were few and far between; at
present they are too frequent to at-
tract attention. Mr. Joseph Hatton, in
"Old Lamps and New," tells of the
fright caused by one of Trevithick's
steam locomotives, made to run on
unrailed roads in the early part of the
last century.
Now and then one of these extraor-
dinary vehicles would be encountered,
snorting and puffing on the highway.
The countrymen regarded them as the
evil one in disguise.
One of the cars, coming to a toll-
gate, stopped for the gate to be
opened. The toll-man came hurrying
out. He flung the gate open with
trembling hands, and teeth which
chattered audibly.
The driver asked him how much toll
there was to pay.
"O, nothing, dear Mr. Satan, noth-
ing!" hastily assured the man. "Go
on as fast as you like; there's nothing
to pay."—Youth's Companion.

Strenuous Method of Saving Life.
Two officers who were hunting
wolves on the Dry mountain in cen-
tral Servia1 lost their way in a fog.
After wandering for 14 hours one of
them lay down in the snow and speed-
ily became unconscious. His comrade
bound him with cords, placed him
in a sitting position and then rolled
him down the mountain. He glided
down the slope at terrific speed and
reached the bottom safely, being found
an hour later in an exhausted condi-
tion by a peasant. He is now in the
hospital being treated for the lacera^
tions he received in bumping over tho
rocks during his descent. His com-
panion is unhurt.
Modesty.
Whispering Customer (producing
watch)—I came here because I have
been told that you are an honest
pawnbroker.
Avuncular Patriarch (with a depre-
catory smile)—My friend, somebody
has been trying to have fun with you."

sects multiply with astonishing rapidity, and within a short time after their first ap-
pearance will be found in nearly every part of the body. The itching they produce is
so intense it is often with difficulty the sufferer can refrain from tearing the skin with
his nails Hunt's Cure is an infallible remedy for this aggravating trouble. Applied
locally.
