"A gular," replied the Squatter in structively, "is a gray parrot with pink trimmings—lt is a clever bird and thinks a lot." His Excellency looked grateful, hut seemed to expect more. "And as to ids wisdom?" he inquired, blandly, "Why don't they get into Parliament—eh?" The Squatter ignored the Jeer—he was, perhaps, as wise as the gular in question. "Pelhnm's had a reputa tion for it," lie said, mildly; "if you like I'll tell you how lie acquired it." His Excellency nodded and resumed his lemon nnd soda. "It happened In tile early days," he began, "when the home government sent out the Judges along with the rest of tho administration—and Pelhnm was the first. Ho was in my day, hut belonged to tbe period before it—a dear old soul lie was, and a magnificent specimen of tho English gentleman, as they used to make 'em. When he sat 111 the seat of Justice lie had a really hard time, for he was nllllctod with a very tender heart; and the suffering among the convicts appealed to h!m perpetually. I often wondered what induced him to take to law, hut being the 11 ft h son of a poor peer I suppose it Was tile best thing he could da. He was an immense favorite with all classes, nnd the prisoners fairly adored him. lie was, however, a strict and Impartial Judge, with a down 011 cir cumstantial evidence. Ho had once been concerned in the hanging of a man for murder. Everything pointed so clearly to the man having perpe trated the crime for which he was be ing tried that no one had any doubt on tho subject, yet the real murderer confessed afterward, and that gave Pelhnm such fits of continual remorse that he would never admit purely cir cumstantial evidence agniu. "So much so that when an old French Johnnie was brought before him for hailing up tho gold escort ho paid my father to defend him, and tho old chap got off. He was tremendously grate ful, nnd presented my father with a splendid cat's eye, all the worldly wealth he had, nnd gave tho Judge his gular—a bird everybody was convinced was his familiar spirit. Then ho went Into hospital and died, and the Judge went South with the gular. "Pelhnm's sister kept house for him. Miss relhnm was as much liked as her brother, nnd, besides, being a great belle, was devoted to good works nnd the care of Pelliam and his menageries —people were always giving him crea tures of sorts. The gular must have thought himself in his native wilds when he got home. He was a highly educated bird, could give out tags of Latin with the air of a bishop, and discoursed fluently in English, while his language in French was anything but fit for the pretty pink ears of Miss Pelhnm. lie whistled, too, everything he heard, nnd could Imitate anything, from tho croaking of Miss Pelhnm's guinea fowl to the Judge's rendering of 'The Message.' He quite took Pelhnm under ills wing, used lo greet him tn the morning with—'Hallo, Judge! late again! IVhnt'U you have for break fast?' and when lie saw the Judge's horse climbing up tho hill to the house 1 in the afternoon lie would yell out lo Miss Pclham, 'Hallo, Fanny! here's the old man; get tea.' Pol Jin in was very | absent minded, too. nnd the gular saved [ iiis sister a lot of trouble by remind- I big him Hint if lie went out with Ills ! head uncovered he'd get sunstroke. ! 'Deu't be foolish,' said the gular; 'go and get n hat.' There were a hundred other things, but I forget them. I'el ham was powerfully pious, nnd the gular used to Join in the family devo tions, till one wondered if it could pos sibly he the same bird one heard box ing the compass in such a beautiful French accent nt other times. Though, to do it justice, it was never very loud, unless it heard the flying foxes ill tho peach trees, when it made Miss Pelhnm thankful there was a convent across the road; it gave her a sense of security to know it was there, as a sort of counterblast to the gular. "In those days tho Thursday Tslnnd fisheries were unknown, nnd one of the discharged convicts, who owed the Pelliams a lot, went up there by clianee and got a tremendous haul of fine pearls and traveled back to pre sent them to the Judge's sister. Neith er of them had the least idea of the value of the string till Miss relhnm wore tliem at a ball given by the Gov ernor, and then some expert saw thorn and fairly electrified the Judge by say ing the centre pearl alone—lt was con sidorably larger than the rest—was worth thousands. "As soon as Felham got home ho and his sister had in his elerk—a discharged prisoner, a gentleman who had been sent out for being in some Irish rising of sorts—and showed hint the string, asking him at the same time to try and find where the donor had gone to, so that lie might bo informed of the value of his discovery. Then he went off to bed, leaving the pearls in a dis patch box on tho table, and forgetting to lock it, in his usual absent way. In the night a tremendous storm came down, and swept through the house in a hurricane, carrying everything into the verandas. The clerk Connolly came rushing in, shut tho windows and doors, and picked up the scattered books and papers, assisted by the but-1 ler, another time-expired man. The J dispatch box was found lying on the floor, its contents blown away and the pearls gone. Pclliam insisted that they must be somewhere near and made the men spend the rest of tho night searching with him through the room, but with 110 result. Both men were naturally rather frightened; there had been a number of small robberies, and the Governor, a rigid old martinet, was determined to put crime down with a heavy hand. "He was very fond of the cat. 'The cat,' he used to declare, 'is worth a regiment in keeping order In n half- 1 criminal community like this.' Pelhrim . was opposed to it with all his might, I and the two were constantly at log gerheads. The Governor got wind of the disappearance of the necklace, and instantly sent a guard and shut up j both Pelhnm's men in Boggo, saying lie would give them five dozen apiece unless they owned up to the pearls. "Connolly was a delicate little chap and he almost died at the thought of it The other chap confessed on the spot; said he had been standing at the door and seen Connolly take out the string and put it in his pocket, a statement which the Judge declared was a lie, and one encouraged by tho Governor's use of such a brutal form of punish ment. He didn't blame the butler, but lie stuck to it. Connolly couldn't have taken the pearls or ho would linvo seen him. Meantime, there was a row royal between the la.v and the administra tion, and the pearls kept out of sight. Miss Pelhnm went to the Governor and begged him to give Connolly a week's respite before he was brought up for sentence. And In that time she fairly turned tho yellow stone house inside out, and still 110 sign of the necklace. She was sitting on the veranda one night with the Judge, talk ing and wondering. " 'I cannot imagine,' said she, 'where they can have got to.' " 'l'd give a hundred pounds to know," replied Pelhnm, gloomily; 'poor little Connolly won't last three months if he goes back to the quarries.' " 'l've looked everywhere,' said Miss Policial, and she looked up at tho gular. lie was sitting demurely on ills stand, and winking his red-rimmed eyes as if he knew all about it. " 'IIo! ho! ho!' he chuckled; 'look un der the table.' "She sat looking up nt him In amaze ment, while he kept repeating, 'Look under the table.' "She got up. 'I will,' she said; 'ev ery table in the house.' "Now, she had removed everything out of tho dining room where tho dis patch box had been loft, and the ear pets had been taken up. Tho floor had been laid with very green wood, and when tho covering was removed tho hoards wore found to have shrunk. It was sunset, and tho light came In level with the house, which, like most houses, was raised a little on piles tn keep out tho white ants. She wnlkod across, looking down, and suddenly she cried out nnd the Judge rushed to her side. 'Look!' she gasped, pointing downward. lie put 011 ills spectacles and looked, nnd there between the cracks they eonhl seo tho string of pearls lying on the black soil beneath the floor. "Connolly was returned to tho Jtulgo, of course, but it was still a mystery how the pearls got there, and for a long lime 110 one found out. Then one night while they were all at supper a great storm en me down, nnd the wind tore through tho French win dows and carried, among other tilings, a silver goblet off tho table. It was rolled along tho floor, out of the win dow nnd across the veranda and dropped 011 the top stop. Then the blast veered and lite gol,let was blown | through the steps and right under the 1 house. i "Tile gular screamed as it rolled, and : Pelhnm stood gazing as one enlight ened. 'That's the very way the pearls went,' lie said to his sister, 'and not I one of us had the sense to think of it but my wise old gular.'T.iui;' : Field.

THE recent death of 0. E. Con rad, ono of the pioneers of Northern Montana, and one of Its best known and highly respected citizens, recalled many inter esting stories In which ho was the cen tral figure. He was a member of the convention which framed the Constitu tion of the State, he founded the town in which his beautiful home was built, be was the president of the town site company and of the bank, had large interests in many important business enterprises, but never aspired to public office. One of ids friends, speaking of the dead man, said: "He was one of the coolest men in the face of danger that I ever knew. lie was niso one of the best Indian traders that ever came to this country. He had great power over the Indians, and made them do as be wished. He was a member of Moseby's band, which became famous In the Civil War for its daring, al though he was only sixteen years old when he joined the command. "I remember," said one of his old friends, "one time, when he was one of a small party sent to the Blackfoot Reservation to arrest an Indian boy who had been charged with killing a calf belonging to the Conrad Company. There was at least five thousand war riors camped at the place. We found the boy, and neither he nor his father denied that we had the right person. Just as I had put the boy on a horse and was binding him there the father raised his rifle, levelled it at my head and said something I could not under stand. The leader of our party whipped out his six shooter and was about to shoot the Indian who was aiming at ine. Another Indian gave a warwlioop, and in a moment we were surrounded by a thousand war riors, nearly all of whom were armed. Things looked pretty serious for us, and if Healy, our leader, had shot we would have been wiped off the face of the earth. But Mr. Conrad grabbed bis gun and compelled him to put it up, told the Indians that the boy would not be harmed if they allowed him to go with us; that ho would be tried at Benton for killing the calf, and that, oven if ho were found guilty, he would be returned safe and well. 'And if you kill us,' he said, 'the sol diers will come and kiil you all. Make the father of the boy put down his rifle and we will promise not to hurt the boy.' The rifle was taken from tlie angry father, but the crowd would not make room for us to ride away. Conrad, after parleying with them for quite awhile in vain, told us to draw our guns, but not to shoot until we had to. Then ho told the Indians that the first man who touched the horse's reins he would kill instantly, and that If they gave us any trouble wo would kill the boy, even if we had all to be killed in return. After a moment's hesitation they began to give way as we advanced. When we were clear of them we put up our guns, and were thankful that through the courage and good mnagement of Mr. Conrad we had escaped with our lives. The boy got two years in the penitentiary, and returned to his tribe n better man, having learned a trade in prison." Another friend told a story of how Mr. Conrad hnd been taught a lesson In hospitality by an Indian. "Conrad used to have a cabin near his place of business," snid the story teller, "where he allowed the Indians to 'put up' when they came to trade. One day an old Indian, known as Tail Feather, a famous hunter, came with an un usually fine lot of skins and furs, and Conrad, being anxious to make a good trade, told the old man to make him self and his family at home in the cabin, which they did. The next day the Indian's wares were examined, and a trade, highly satisfactory to the white man, was consummated. But Tail Feather was so well pleased with the cabin and its comforts that he told his host that he would stay several weeks. Conrad hinted that other Indians might come and re quire the place, but the old Indian would not take a hint, and finally had to be told that he must move on. " 'I will go.' said the crafty old man, 'but you have taught me a lesson. Next year, when I come with a load of skins, I will trade when I am ready to return home, and not when I nr rive. I have learned that you like me better before than after the trade.' >lr. Conrad said that Tail Feather bad taught him a good lesson in polite ness as well as in Indian business matters."—New York Tribune. SAILOR GIRL'S ADVENTURES. A singular story of the sea was told at the Bristol police court. A girl of fifteen, who first gave her name as Ellen Gordon, but afterward admitted that she was Esther McEwan, was charged with wandering abroad with out visible means of subsistence. The prisoner, who was clad in a rough suit of men's clothes, cried bitterly, and hid her face as she stood in the dock. A river policeman stated that when !n Prince's street that morning lie heard some men talking about a wo tnan dressed as a man who was being paid oIT at the hoard of trade offices. His inquiries there proved fruitless, but outside he saw the prisoner stand ing among some other sailors. When he spoke to her she hurst into tears and admitted her sex. He believed she had sailed as messman and stew ard. She was being paid off from the steamship Gem. which had just ar rived at the Bristol docks. At the police station the accused stated that her sister lived at Wish art, in Scotland. She admitted she had completed three voyages as mess steward, dressed in boy's clothes. Asked by the liench if she would go back to her sister, to whom they could telegraph, the prisoner said she did not wish to do so, as she left oa account of her sister's harshness. The magistrate's clerk: "Could not you get Into a Scotch ship as steward ess?" McEwan—"When my hale gets longer." The bench ordered a remand until the next day. McEwan, it is stated, had accom plished only one of her voyages upon the Gem, which vessel she Joined at a port in Scotland. Further inquiries into the case have brought to light a remarkable story of her adventures in boy's clothes. She had been living with a married sister at Wlshart, near Glasgow, and while there she sometimes worked as a boy, but the reason of this is not clear. A book came into her hands containing the story of a girl who, unhappy at home, ran away to sea dressed as a boy. Esther McEwan thought this plan so attractive that she resolved upon a similar escapade. In Septem ber of 1901 she ran away to Dundee, and there went as cnbln boy on board a coasting steamer called the Discov ery. On this vessel she remained only a fortnight, landing at Newport. She gave her name as Allan Gordon. From Dundee she shipped in a boat bound for Valparaiso, and, linving com pleted the voyage, she was discharged at Cardiff. At Penai-th she soon ob tained another berth, this time on board the steamship Gem, whore she acted 113 mess room steward. No one suspected that she was a girl until Alexandria, the vessel's destination, was reached, and here each member of the crew bad to pass the doctor, with the result that the girl was compelled to admit her sex. The captain of the Gem, therefore, brought her back as a cabin passenger, but she appears to have continued to wear the boy's clothes during the return voyage. It Is probable that the reason of the "mess room steward" being trans ferred to the cabin did not remain a secret aboard, and it is not surprising that the onilors talked the matter over on reaching port. The girl is now receiving kindly care and attention. She Is a quick-witted child of fair education, and from re marks which she has let drop it is clear that the rough mnnners of sail ors on the ships on which she sailed were very repellent to her. She did not like the sea at all, and hnd she only known the way In which she would hnvc hnd to rough it she would never have run away. The two dis charge notes which are In her posses sion relating to her voyages to Alex andria and Valparaiso are made out in the name of Allan Gordon.—London Telegraph. INQUISITIVE MOOSE. Not infrequently the pine lumber cutters are surprised while at work by the presence of inquisitive moose and deer, who evidently cannot under stand the meaning of the rythmic fall of the axe. Instances are on record in which choppers have been killed by the infuriated onslaught of bull moose, probably vexed at having been brought long distances to see nothing more in teresting than men chopping down trees. An irrasclble sportsman, disgusted with incompetent guides and uncon genial companions in former' years, set out on his autumn campaign with only a lad, who was to act as camp at tendant. The little chap was fur nished with an ancient tin horn with which to summon his master to meals or when his presence was desirable at the tent. One evening Ills call was answered by a hoarse blast at a distance, and the lad, not knowing what it meant, kept on repeating Ills blowing, until to Ills amazement and fear a huge moose came rushing out of the woods in a state of wild excitement. The creature stood staring in aston ishment at the caller for a full minute, during which the old hunter was with in thirty feet of him in most perfect misery. The hunter bad the long coveted. eli a lice to kill a moose and secure a stupendous head, and his weapons wore a fishing rod, a shot gun and an empty cartridge belt. Ilis survey ended, the lordly moose gave a snort of disgust and turned away, and the hunter's opportunity was gone. MAN AGAINST ALLIGATOR. C. A. Clouser, proprietor of the Oak dale Poultry and Stock Farm had a lively experience recently. Mr. Clouser lias a number of goats. Of late he has missed two or three, and was suspicious that some of his col ored friends wore helping themselves to meat. This morning he caught the thief in the act. Just back of his house is Lake Copeland. For a year he has at times noticed a good-sized alligator in tile lake. This morning, as lie was looking over his pets, his at tention was arrested by the bleating of a goat at the margin of the lake. He ran to the spot, and found the 'gator with the goat in his Jaws, but tangled in some grapevines, so that he could not get into the water with it. Mr. Clouser seized one end of the ani mal, while the 'gator stuck to the other. Finally he succeeded in forcing the 'gator to loosen his hold and get back into the lake. The goat was al ready dead. Now Mr. Clouser has a shark hook, baited with the viscera of the dead goat, and set in the lake. Hei hopes to secure a 'gator. Florida Times-Union and Citizen.

Impossibility of Socialism. By the Rev. Dr. Hillis, of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn ASSING Individuals into n compact body will never better our W country. If we want a great State we must have great "iiidi- Kj X 2? 3 vlduals. We can never get a great republic out of a company 8 3 va S rail td' rowdies, i)eople who are willing that other® | S should work for thom. That is why socialism is one of the 0 flf ffl great evils threatening our Nation to-day. Its growing 1 I strength is not to be despised. It has elected four Mayors Now England and unless a check is put upon it will elect forty in the near future. It is a trust which paralyzes the in dividual far more than the otlier trusts which weigh against the country's in terests. It divides up until what Iff parceled out is unsatisfactory to all who have a share in the division. Supposo there are forty houses In a block, and instead of each man owning one for himself and keeping it In order each, man owns one-fortieth of the house lie lives in and one-fortieth of each of the others. Will he care as much if the stoops are swept off on a snowy morning, and will he keep the back yards In as good order as if it was bis own house? Every man's home is his castle. He has given his promise to one woman and she has sworn fealty to him. But supposo socialism steps in to plan this home according to its rules. Do you believe that their children will be better if reared by nurses appointed by the State, as socialism decrees? Socialism in other domains would be just as objectionable. Submerge the individual in the State, as socialism ordains, and you destroy domestic Institutions—stifle the life-blood of the Nation. Better let every man bear his burden, and in bis purpose to succeed he will do far more for the world than if he were a mere atom in a great industrial creation. <£? Waterways Are a Necessity. By Professor Lewis M. Haupt. SN view of the groat and manifest economies of waterways it may seem inexplicable that, with but few illustrious excep tions, their advantages have apparently not Impressed them selves upon railroad managers and legislators in general. By the recognition and use of these economlegthemost progesslve nations of the European continent have been able to maintain largo mllltury and naval establishments, besides providing from the public treasury for the construction and mainte nance of their extensive systems of internal waterways, while the United Stntes lias permitted her canals to become gradually extinguished. One by one these earlier avenues of communication have been absorbed and abandoned; and yet statistics show that the cost of transportation by these artificial channels Is about ope-tlilrd only of that by rail, while by open water it Is still lower. A nation that Ignores un economy of sixty-six per cent. In transportation is wasting its resources and imposing onerous burdens upon its peopla. The possibilities of this country are magnificent; and yet but few of them have been developed, and in these cases the work has been done largely by private corporations or local Interests. The Erie Canal still exists, a moim niciit to the enterprise of the Empire State of which it has ever been the baek-M bone; but it is becoming too weak to bear the greatly Increased tonnage, and must be strengthened and enlarged unless it is desired to divert the traffic to the down-grade route through Canada. Owing to the growth in the dimensions of vessels, the antiquated coast-wise system of canals, made necessary as a" means of defense by the lessons of 1812, is no longer able to pass more than ibout tbreo per cent, of the trade of the contiguous bays and sounds. These channels barely pass the smallest torpedo-boats, and are wholly inadequate to meet tho requirements of an Interior, strategic line as an Indispensable part of our coast defense, not to mention those of the millions of tons of coast wise comiperce, only awaiting their enlargement and National control. Tho great work noarlng completion under the State of Illinois, connecting Lake Michigan with the Illinois River and having in view the ultimate crea tion of a fourtoen-foot channel to the Gulf of Mexico, is one that must com mend itself to tho country as being of immeasurable value. The connection of tho vast deposits of coal in Western Pennsylvania and Virginia with the* Iron ores of the Lake Superior region by means of a ship canal across the portage separating Lake Erie from the Ohio River should be pushed with the utmost dispatch.—The Forum. Everyday Heroes. a By Andrew Carnegie. —— IIIS Is the heroic age, excelling all others in tho number and service Tof Its heroes. There Is a hero in tho Philippines to-day. He was a wise Judge and strongly opposed our forcing ourselves upon the people there, but at the call of duty he went to serve his country and benefit that people. The highest otflee, save one, in the land zrzrzrst Ivas vvltliin his reach, the height of Ills ambition at home. He re ????' slstcd the temptation. Impaired as his health was. lie elected to fcAW blunge into the waves, as it were, to save the drowning people who — needed his help. Judge Taft Is a true hero; he has risked his life for his follows. A fireman hero in Now York recently—l wish I could remember Ills nnmo— rushed into danger through fire and smoke to rescue u child, and fell In the at tempt. Such instances occur almost every week, In one or other of our cities. Physlclnns almost dally sacrifice their lives In their noble calling. Verily we live In a heroic age, and it becomes us to celebrate, applaud and honor these grandest of heroes, who remind us by their acts that they feel "the fittest place where man can die is where lie dies for man." There should ho a National organization akin to the National Life Saving Society, or, per haps, bettor Still, that; society should appeal for funds to support the families of such heroes and add a department to administer the fund properly. The family of no hero who loses his life while trying to rescue a fellow, man should ever suffer want, nor sllould the hero himself, if injured. He dr* serves a pension, with the thanks of tho community, as well as a gold medal to bo worn afterward and handed down to Ids family as a badge of true nobility. There is a worship which uplifts, a deference which exalts, a tribute which raises all who glvo It, and this meeting will fail to justify Itself If wo assemble to do honor to a hero and are not ourselves, in contemplation of bis act, raised In some degree to heroic level. The great advance which all religious bodies are making and must con tinue to make or perish is along this road, the recognition of the truth that tho kingdom of God is within man hero and now, and that In order to merit heaven In the future or to ho fit to exist there it is necessary that we begin to make something of the real heaven here now on earth. Jc? Evil off Society Gambling. By Julia Ward HOWE. SFEAII that the evil custom of playing for money lias made considerable progress In fashionable society. Heads of fam ilies In our gay cities are sometimes made aware of tlie inter change between their own and other young people of chocks intended to cover recent losses at cards. „ Young ladles are heard to boast of the gains of a season j at Newport—these gains, In some cases, exceeding We hear of invitations to fashionable bouses which are de clined by youths of small or moderate incomes, who cannot afford losses at the card table. This feature of our time appears to mo a reversion to the habits of a low stage of civilization, In which poverty of object induces the passion for games of hazard which is common among barbarous people. It seems also to be a part of that aping of foreign customs which shows Itself a good deal among our people of wealth and leisure. Royalties and persons of high rank in the Old World have been known to Indulge In gambling to a ruinous extent, and the custom of playing for sums large or small still prevails In European countries. This fact may lead certain young people to consider It a trait of aristocratic breeding to risk money In games of chance. Tim better culture attainable In modern society should do much to eliminate tills false impression. Our Western World Is rich In opportunities of social Intercourse. Our youug men and maidens meet freely in college, In the professions and in the diversions appropriate to tlie season of youth. Tlty were It If tills Innocent freedom, profitable for mutual help and good, understanding, should be made subservient to unworthy tastes and dangerous I passions. In this land of ours the State lias prohibited the lottery system. church lias set herself resolutely against rattles at fairs. Public opinion In either avenue ought to set itself against this cruel love of a gain which necessarily Implies loss to others. It Is a truism among us to-day tliat the exercise and enjoyment of liberty must found itself upon good sense and good morals. If we wish to avail ourselves of American freedom we must adhere to American Ideas of good conduct. The standard of the Puritans may be enlarged and advanced by a culture) more liberal than theirs. It should not be degraded by a course of action based upon a conceit of life poor, mean and empty.—New York News.
