occupaHon. Ho was generally to bo
seen hanging about nt tho street corners
or at the doors of taverns, but neverthe
less he had ncquiriod, in certain quar
ters, a reputation as a man of action nnd
determination in a word, ns a "char
acter." Her name was I&ppet. She was
Inown by no other, and was familiarly
called so ' by princes nnd potentates in '
the grandest salons in London. Great
authors, philosophers, artists, musicians
and statesmen endeavored vto propltiato
her. Even dowager duchesses, generally
Tery solf contained beings, treated her
with consideration and occasionally used
all sorts of endearments toward her,
8tll her pretty, curly head was not
turned. The reason why tho reader will
presently discover.
He was known ns Jim Lukens among
his associates. But ho was n fellow of
infinite fancy, nnd possessed a happy
knack of christening himself every now
and again as he considered tho exigen
cies of the moment appeared to demand
it. Thus, when enjoying tho hospitality
of her majesty, at one pension prlvce
he was ono person, and In another he
was a different person altogether nom
inally, at least. Ho did not And that
continual rebaptlsms mitigated tho
severity exercised In tho official circles
la which he frequently found himself,
but he did not think It expedient to be

one love affair, ho had a deplorable lack
of ambition.
Poppet llvod with Lady Dollydacks iu
Park lane, Hyde park. Sho was not her
ladyship's daughter, as Lord Dollydacks
died without lssuo; neither was sho her
niece. Lady Dollydacks cultivated a
comfortable hatred of nil her kith and
kin. Sho felt it was tho proper thing
for a woman of her quality to do, nnd It
saved her from annoying intrusion. Do
fore her marriage to the late lamented
governor general of Coromandel, Lady
Dollydacks had been tho widow of a
wealthy sugar planter, nnd there her
past history ended. Sho had no recol
lection of what she was previous to her
West Indian matrimonial venture. No,
poor Poppet was merely her ladyship's
little protege and can hardly be said to
have had any expectations beyond tho
immediate comfort of her surrouudings.
Poppet was admitted by men and wo
men of the most critical, discriminative
type, and of tho highest rank, to bo sim
ply perfect In form and "beauty. Jim
was described in inoro than ono "offi
cial" cyclopedia of biography as repul
sively ugly. In n dim sort of a fashion
he was conscious of his physical de
ficiencies, but it did not check his pas
sion for her.
Their first meeting, it it can bo so
called, happened in this way:
It was one beautiful summer morning.
He was leaning over tho railings of tho
"drive" in Hyde park looking at the
brilliant equipages and their fair occu
pants as they passed him. There was a
tinge of sullen, inquiring cynicism on
his irregular but expressivo features.
He was reflecting in his own crudo way
upon the strangeness of tho dispensations
of Providence. Ho was a homelees, ir
reclaimable, pariah; these vlvfd crowds
seemed veritable gods and goddesses,
All at once tho discontent vanishod
out of his face, and It becamo irradiated
with an appreciative Intelligence. An
open carriage, emblazoned regardless of
expense, and drawn by a couplo of beau
tiful black horses, was arrested by tho
opposing stream of traffic Immediately
in Iront or nun. two Bervants in gor
geous livery sat upon the box. Tho foot
roan's calves, incased in flesh colored
hcee, would have made tho soidi&ant
first gentlemen of Europo, then lately
deceased, green with jealousy could ho
hare seen them. The man was n model
of deportment, u creature after Mr.
Turveydrop's own heart. He was mo
tionless, silent and pompous, and his
face wore that peculiar look of superior
vacuity of which those moving among
tho aristocratic circles of society seem
to possess a monopoly.
But Jim did not bestow more thou a
Xlance upon the servants; his eyes at
once became riveted upon her. She sat
in the midst of her embroidered cush
ions alone, Lady Dollydacks Insisted
upon her taking the air in this way
every morning except Sundays, when
she accompanied her ladyship to church
to listen to tho voice of the Iter. Charles
Honeymoon crying in the fashionable
wilderness. During her matutinal drive
Poppet performed the only duty ex.
pected of her. Sho brought homo her
ladyship s dally supply of literature from
the circulating library iu tho carriage
with her.
Jim's fingers clenched tho rail in f rent
of him, and a look of set determination
came Into his pale face. She Bat watch
ing the occupants of the other carriages
as they passed Jitr, add was. wholly ob
livious of the adndriiiKi aft ta,tiast back
mm t&em at her. una war thorough
bred and knew it, and ono fancied, look
ing Into her eyes, that there was n coldly
critical nlr about them, Suddenly turn'
Ing away from gazing at her world, hav-
Ing failed to recognise any one, her
glance for a moment fell upon him. In
stinctively she shuddered back into her
downy wrapping und averted her eyes,
tvith a startled look about the corners of
thera. She was too t proud to inako any
sign, although in her henrttslie felt a
fearful dread of him spring up. His
era seemed to devonr herf old the car
tiago was delayed lsng enough for her
firo&le to burn itself into his brain. He
oved her, In his own vindictive way, at
nm sight.
During the next fortnight he was in.
variably at his place at the railings and
saw her roll past in her carriage every
morning. Ho had discovered her resi
dence and knew nil about her goings In
and goings out. He had even In soino
extraordinary manner become possessed
of her genealogical tree and had com
mitted the names of her illustrious an
cestors to memory, U curious manifesta
tion of interest for ooawflh his. ante
cedent. There iu Jodie tort of
fascination about him, too, for her, as
every time she passed him her eyes were
irresistibly drawn tn his direction for a
moment
Jim bad followed her carriage to Uio
library on several occasions. One morn
ing' he was absent from the park and
she gave a sigh of relief as she missed
bis face. But he was waiting for Iter
outside the library, accompanied by an
otlier man, whoso general appearance
af once "1 seed him in the taste evil
category aa himself. The footman de
scended from the box and went inside;
shY'remained without in the carriage
shivering lnstiEotfveJy with fear. Al
most immediately Jlm'scoupaniun step

Lung power and capacity may bo won

a constant repetition of tho syllable

the pupil get ono noto clear cut, round,

Let him work tystemnllcally and.
above all, avoid tho pernicious trick of

When Colonel Urahnm, of Posey
county, Ind., left town for Trenton yor.-
terday he put In his tmoket two of th 1
beet imported cigars that lie could buy.
The colonel is a confirmed cigarotto
smoker, but ho always carries cigars kir
self protection when he travels, Hinoo
he left Posey county he has developed a
discriminating nose for tolmrro, A
rank cigar makes him more peevish
than "knees" In his trousers. There are
fow smokers of bad cigars who will not ,
throw away n half Imrueil stump to nc- 1
cept ono of the colonel's good cigars, j
with tho graceful apology tlint nlways
goes with it.
"Why, do you know," said Colonel
Graham the other day, "there are no i
cigars In Indiana so rank ns those that
nro smoked In Now Jersey, They nre j
11.- 1 1 ll.-l 111 1.111 . l-.l 1
tho brand that will kill Vegetation, nnd
I nlwnys enrry n cigar or two to givo
away on the smoking car. Why, It's
enough to make a man fretful."
Colonel Graham's seat in tho smoker
was shared yesterday by n man with no
tosto In tobacco. Ha sniffed contemptu
ously nt tho colonel's cigarette, nnd
puffed contentedly nt a very bad cigar
with a dark, shiny wrapper. Colonel
Graham was growing seasick. Ho threw
away his cigarette, and drawing a cigar
from his pocket said to tho man beside
him:
"Pardon me, sir, but may I troublo
you for a light!"
"Sure, Mlko," replied tho man, and he
handed Colonel Graham n cigar that
had just been lighted, Colonel Gra
ham carefully lighted hi own cigar,
and with nppareut nbsentinlndedncris
tossed tho other out of the window.
"Well, I'll lie"
"No, don't," Interrupted Colonel Gra
ham, "I really wasn't thinking what 1
wns doing. Ple.tso accept ono of my 1
cigars nnu permit; me to otter an npot
ogy. I am very nbsetitiniiiiled at times,"
The man looked ut tho cigar tho colo
nel gave him nnd mild:
"Looks pretty good, Bettcr'n mine,
I guess. I liny threo dollars n hundred
for mine."
"That cigar cost twenty-fivo dollars a
hundred, nnd Is pretty fair, 1 think,"
replied the colonel.
"H'm," said tho man ns ho bit tho
end off. Then ho leaned over nud saldi
"Will you givo mo a light now'"
Colonel Graham offered his cigar.
Tho man lighted his own from it with
chuckles of satisfaction. Then ho leaned
back comforttbly and tossed Colonel
Graham's cigar out of tho window.
"Why, yon"
"Don't," said tho man. "When 1 think
of tho tariff on cigars I go Into n trance,
nnd I'm not responsible for what I do.
Let ino oiler yon ono of my cigars, ' nnd
ho pulled out ono of tho throe doll.fr n
hundred brand nnd handed It to Colonel
Graham.
"Why, you"
"Now, don't, I say," interrupted tho
man. "This la my station, but you can
get a light from the man in front. Much
obliged for your smoke. Goodby," and
ho was off (ho car.
Colonel Graham retumed to New
York last night and announced that his
system was shattered. Hereafter ho
will rido in tlio drawing room car nnd
smoko cigarettes. New York Sun.

'Aro many babies lost In tho big

Tho floor walker stood besido :t num
ber of bolts of cloth. It was in ono of
tho big stores in Fourteenth street.
"Come with me," ho said.
When wo had arrived nt tho tear of
tho store ho carefully opened u door
leading to a small room. There, on a
soft lounge, all cuddled up, asleep and
evidently dreaming, wns a dar child
with golden hair.
Tho child," exclaimed tho floor
walker, "belongs to 6oiuo woman now

Wo will. Wo have a number of

Just then thero was a suppressed
ejaculation at tho door, somothiug that
sounded like:
"Oh, my deardarlingchildcliildchildl"
A woman bounded Into tho room,
Such kissing, such hugging, you never
saw iu all your born days!
"it was like this," tlio woman said.
"I left the dear boy just ono tiny min
ute to look nt some bargains in laces.
Then Mrs. Gamp came up, and of course
I had to talk to her. Time slipped by;
it was most an hour before I ever
thought of dear little Willie again."
"Well," said tho floor walker smiling,
"ho is safe."
Then tho woman went away with her
prize, saying something at each step
that sounded like:

cott expressed a suspicion thnt tho

"Will yon let mo driver" asked Wol

"Certainly," answered the other.
But no sooner had Wolcott got tho
reins than ho turned to his companion
and said: "You havo been shaming me

With that ho Uung the reins out over
tho horses' backs and liegan plying the
whip furiously. The frightened horses
dashed down the hill, swinging the
buggy around curves and against
bowlders In such wise as to threaten its
demolition. Wolcott continued to ply
tho whip and to shout at tho maddened
brutes. His friend clung, white and
trembling, to his seat. It is n marvel
that both were not killed. Finally the
buggy-was overturned, the horses broko
away and Woleott and bis friend were
left 111 a confused heap, with a broken
arm, a sprained ankle and n dozen body
cuts and bruises between them.

whites, 30,000 free mulatto and 300,000

had been educated in Frnnce, took ad

a recognition of their political rights
from the French assembly; the whites of

nnd a war broke out which was soon
complicated by an uprising of tho whole
slavo population, On n memorable night
in August, 1701, the plantations were

dered. Toussatut had not nt this time ac
quired the natno of L'Ouverture. This
word, meaning "the opening," was ap
plied to him afterward because he
opened a way for the f reedom of his race
through the chaotic conditions or tho
following years.
In the dreadful wnrs of the years fol
lowing tho uprisnl of tho slaves his ex
traordinary influence over his rnco nnd
Ills military genius gave him pro-eml-nenco
over all other chiefs. A design
af freeing his race, which could only be
accomplished by making it tho ruling
raco of Hayti, gradually took shapo In
his mind nud forma tho key noto of his
career.
France, Spain and England each bid
high for his alliance, but Franco de
clared for tho freedom of tho slaves nnd
ho finally ranged himself under tho
French flag. It was evidently his desire
to maintain n deslrablo connection witli
European power which would yet
leavo him nt liberty to dovelop his plans
for his own race, but tho realization of
tils Iden required a disinterested co-op
eration of which no Uuropean govern
ment wns capable.
In a fow j-ears ho had been recognized
by Franco ns commander in chief of the
army of Hayti and wns practically dic
tator of tho island.
As a ruler of Hayti he surrounded
himself with tho pomp of a prince, al
though personally ho retained habits of
severe simplicity. He ate sparingly und
slopt littlo, being possessed of extraor
dinary powers of endurance. In dignity
of manner he was entirely equal to his
position, llo endeavored to reconcile
conflicting races, and his rule was im
partial and able.
lint unpoleon was not tlio man to al
low a dictator under himself. He sent
an nrmy of 80,000 men to Hayti to re
store slavery and roduco tho colony to
subjection.
Suspecting tho truo pnriiose of tho ex
pedition, Toussaint resisted tho lauding
of tho nrmy, but finally laid down his
arms after ho had been assured that
there was no intention of restoring
slavery and that he injured tho cause of
his raco by resistanco.
He wns still too powerful to bo openly
seized, but ho was decoyed into the
French quarters and was then hurried
on board a vessel and carried to France.
He hoped to meet Napoleon and defend
his conduct, but on landing ho was so
crctly hurried to a lonely fortress lit the
Alps, where lie bhortly nfterwnrd died.
Many wild stories attributing his death
to murder found credenco nt tlio time.
Neglect nnd the change from a tropic to
an Alplno climato doubtless hastened
his end.
By his removal the lirogross of his
raco was incalculably retarded.
While Toussaint s fate nnd place ot im
prisonment wero still unknown, Wnds
worth wrote the beautiful sonnet, "To
Toussaint L'Ouverture." His history is
the subject of a drama by Lamartine,
and of a novel, "Tlio Hour and the
Man," by Harriet Martineau. During
tho nntislavery agitation In tho United
States ho was cited ns a most illustrious
examplo of tho real capabilities of his
race. A poem by Whittier and an ora
tion by Wendell Phillips commemorate
his virtues and his genius. Detroit Free
Press.

How Oreeley !.!pe1 Untwln,
"In McClure'i 'Lincoln atd'ileu of
War Times, ' 1 see." aald agoil diaries
Wlstcr, of Uprniaiitown, yostmHlny,
that the colonel irlves Andrew Cuitlnn
great deal of credit for Lincoln's nomi
nation at Chicago lit 1860. I sat In a
chair beside Colonel McCInro in that
convention, nnd I think Curlin and nil
others were totally overshadowed hy
Horace Greeley. (Ireeley lioro Sowartl
n hitter grndge. Ho said ho had mado
Soward governor, nnd ho thought liim
ungrateful. On Seward's refusal to net
na ho wish!, Oreeley declared, 'My time
mil como nt last.' When the conven
tlon time nrrlved" we nil saw what
seemed to he a band of soldiers march
ing up the street. What wits It but old
Horace Qrccley in his famous plug hat
and whlto coat stalking along after n
brass band at the head of tho New York
delegation. They were tho pick nnd
flower of tho slate too. They wero given
a rousing reception in tlio convention
hall.
"Greeley had corresponded with the
ablect Republicans throughout the
Union, nnd for two years had been
planning against Seward's ambition
When the battlo wns fought nnd Lincoln
was nominated Oreeley cutno down
stairs from his room ill tlio hotel with
his carpetbag in his hand. As ho bade
goodby his words were, 'Sly mission is
accomplished.' " I'hundclphu IJccord.
Chance for tho Wedding l'nc.
A clergyman in Cumberland county
had married a couple, nnd was surprised
by the groom's nsking him the amount
of tho bill, llo had not been accus
tomed to receive anything of lunch
vnluo, nnd said that the matter was left
to the groom to decide, "lint I'd rather
you'd stato the figures," was tho reply.
nnd finally tho minister said, "Well,
anywhere between one and ten dollars."
The groom handed him a five dollar bill
and departed.
In about a fortnight ho returned to
the ministers house and said, "Look
here, when I gave you that iivo dollar
bill I cipocted somo change back." The
astonished minister happened only to
have two dollars about him. Ho took
thnt from his pocket nnd gavo it to tho
man, and thero the transaction ended.
Lewistou (Me.) Journal.
Threo Kcmarks About Marriage.
James Lano Allen has a story en-
titled "John Uray," in which ho has
three remarks tomako apropos to tho
subject of marriage: "Somo women in
marrying demand all nnd givo all: with
good men they aro happy; willibasomeu
they nre bruken hearted. Somo demand
everything nnd givo little; with weak
men they nro tyrants; with strong men
they nro divorced. Every bachelor Is
really tho husband of an old maid. For
every singlo man carries around witli
him tho spirit of n woman to whom he is
more or less happily wedded, when a
man actually marries, this inner help-
mato wisely disappears in tho presence
of her external contemporary."

Tho examinations of artificial ice

Coins ot Value.
"Some pennies nro worth a good deal
of money," said a dealer in coins. "If
you como across an old collection of
copper cents iu an out of the way corner
you will do well to examine their dates
carefully. From the point of view of
the numismatist their valuo depends
largely upon their condition, t or ex
ample, for u cent of 1709 in n fair stato
of preservation we pay flvo dollars, but
for a specimen of the same Iseua in first
rate condition wo would pay from ten
to tweuty-fivo dollars, and for a perfect
cent of 17U9 that Is.ns bright nnd sharp
ns the dny It wns coined we will pay
flOO.
"Do not attempt to clean coins that
nre in fino condition. They should be
held only hy the edges In handling them,
and ought to bo kept wrapped carefully
In chamois skin or soft tissno paper or
laid on velvet. Gold and silver coins
may bo rinsed, not washed, In hot water
and soap. Copper coins should be placed
in sweat oil only to remove grease and
dirt. Acids nnd scouring will rnin nnj
coin of worth. Ago does not necessarilj
make value in coins. The old Spanish
silver pieces current in this country
from 1700 tn 1800 aro worth no more
than their face, and the same is the cut,?
with cents of 1798, 1803 and 1603, ns well
as with half dollars of dates betweeu
1803 and 1885." Washington Star.
Au Otd Question Asked Alien,
The old Question has been lately asked
anow, Why fill the infant mind with
Images of cruelty and horror? Why
suggest to innocence the dreadful vision
of ogres fattening captives like sheep
for their table? Why torture it with
that appalling cabalistic bloody invoca
tion, Fee, faw, fmn? Why jiermit tho
hoary murderer Blue Beard to terrify
tho young before In historical sotraeure
they reach Henry VIII, in no exten
uating page of Froude, but as the
grisly murderer and .defender c.f tho
faith of tlie older annals? And why pi r
plex the callow pilgrim scarcely em
harked uu the journey of life, huh th.
reverend ami the wise desiribe us n
moral watfare, by the rhyme which de
clarcs the greedy thief of a plum from
tlie copious puddiug u good k: '
Why is a glutton who triumph in his
gluttony to be commended in houeyed
measure as good, while nothing is salt!
In praise nay, he Is not even uu'titiancd
-of the virtue of tho tuiuaiued com

plums, sod who, so far as posterity
knows, not only had no plutn, but also
