Let the joker have his jokcl Why not? This would be a very wearing world if at times it did not become easier to lnouh than to cry. Beside there is more than a Joko in that stuff ed crow. There is philosophy in his feathers and science of politics in the sawdust that stuffs him. If men are to live together at all, they mnst learn to eat crow as gracefully as possible. They may not like it. It may turn their stomachs. But in the course of human events it frequently becomes necessary and must be done. It is right and proper for a man to hitch his wagon to a star if he can reach it. The man who has no princi pie, who docs not love some great truth better than his own comfort or interests, is indeed a contemptible follow who can never help the world exoept by leaving it But in spite of that the time comes when the best and bravest must eat their mess of crow bravely, even if it bas been made more repulsive by their courage. When men live together in peace, harmony and politeness, they are con tantly waiving rights and suxpenriing conviction for the time being.

THE HAY'S WORK. tho most talked of and the most abused Ixxik of verso that has appeared i:i many a day, is a young Bohemian newspaper man of New York city. Ho is pallid of face, short in stature, slender in build, modest nnd unassuming btki'Iirn crank, in manner, lie plays a fimt class ginne of poker and chops his poetical linos into varying lengths with a literary hatchet, lie scorns the limitation of rhyme mid me ter and seems to bo a disciple of Walt Whitman. There ore pcopia who think ho is a genius and a rising light in lit erature, and "thero are others." Tho latter class think his verses are barren of talent. Crime is 2!l years of ago and has been writing for the press since ho was 111. Three or fnnr years ago ho published a novel called "Maggie, a Girl of the Streets," nnder the jieu name of Joliii son Smith, but the book was so uncon ventional and so during in its treatment of the slum life it dewrilied that the publishers dared not place their Imprint npou it. Hamlin Garland, who was ap parently much impressed by the genius of the young author, wrote, "With such a technique already in command, with life mainly before him, fitephen Crane is to be henceforth reckoned with. " Mr. Gurlund's interest led him to look np the yonng novelist and Introduce inm to William Dean Ilowellx, who, it is said, looks npou Crane as a very promising young dovotee of the muses. For about a year Crane has been fining syndicate writing, and n second novel, 'The Red Budge of Courage, describ ing the adventures of a recruit under re in the civil war, was published in seriul form and proved very successful. It is said that all the stanzas in his lit tle volume "The Black Riders" were written in a sndden fit of inspiration in three days. The following is a sample of the young poet's lines : Should the wide world roll away, Leaving black terror, Limit less night, Nor (tod nor iniiii nor place to stand. Would bo to me eaHenttul, If thou and thy white arum were then1 And tho full to doom a long way. Of all the beautiful things in this beuutiful world Iherewas none that tho little ray loved so well as tho summer sea. He and his comrade! would play by the hour together with tho rippling wavelets, darting from one to another ill da.z'iiig, mad flashes of light, spread- ' ing themselves over the waters, a sheet of molten gold, till a touch of the wind's light lips broke it np Into a thou sand shimmering fragments. And tlie waves loved their playmates, too, and each, as the rays kissed it, beciunu itself a little golden sun, sending forth its light into the radiant nir, for the sea, like a fickle, lovable woman, answers back to all ill their own moods and is loved just because she cannot be trusted. Then, whero the waves broko on tho golden sands or round the clean, dark rocks, tho little rays would till their foam with light till it shone more brightly white than the Jungfriiu'sorest, and the music of the waves breaking was a joy song for their own loveliness. Laughing, they ran up the smooth sand and embraced with teasing play the small pink feet which scamiiered uway beforo them, while the sun's rays flushed from their surface to meet the light, brighter still, which shone from children's eyes. Oh, those- were huppy days, and us tho little ray danced along over tho waters he Imped that they never might end. J' ut n time came when the voice of the wind sounded from iifur. Tho sea heard it and was troubled to its depths at tho new lifo of power and strength which was tearing within if, while the wavelets far and wide raised their tiny crests, and in ripples of white foam whispered the news one to another. The clouds, too, heard the voico and guth- ; ered together at its bidding to spread themselves a thick, dark curtain over , tho sea and hide from the sun's face . tho things which were to be. And so tho little rny could visit the sa no longer nor join any more in sport with j his favorite playmates. At this his heart wus very sad, and he took no do-1 light in tho other pleasures to which his comrades called him. They told him ! of tho wild games they played with the ! wind shaken leaves of the forest; of tho ! snow cold peaks which they crowned j with dazzling splendor of jewels; of fog ! laden valleys filled with dream forms of weirdest, strangest loveliness; of mys- teries of beauty revealed midst the world's most squalid dreariness. But it A QUESTION OF LIBERTY. Bought His Gift In Pawnshop. A funny thing which ia just leaking out happened at the recent Sherman wed' ding in Boston. A man who was prominent guest, in looking over the presents at the bouse, discovered a val liable old olook, an antique, that he bud bought abroad for a big sum and that bad been stolen from his bouse a year or more before in some mysterious way. He bunted np the donor and found he bad bought it from a pawnbroker that bad called his attention to it as a rare article. The man wanted to give Miss Sherman something rare and bo pur. chased it It was not, however, nutil owner No. 1 insisted npou the right of first proprietorship that owner No. 2 was willing to explain. It was rather a big joke on him to have sought a pawn broker's shop for his wedding present. and the first man thought it too good a wry to keep. Town Topics. j Discovered Long Sought For Beetle. Professor A. D. Hopkins of the ng rioultural experiment station at Mor- gantown bas just discovered a beetle for whloh naturalists have been looking lor many years in vain. It is the beetle from the eggs of which come the worms whloh have ruined so much chestnut timber in this section of the oouutry. The worm has long been known, but as long as the beetle which lays the eggs was unknown it was impossible to destroy it Professor Hopkins has re. oeived number of the larvn and has carefully noted every phase connected with their development into the pupie ana then the beetles. The beetle is one that bas never been known before and belongs to a species of which but three families bave ever before been discov ered. Martinsburg ( W. Va. ) Dispatch. A Holy Clhoet riant.

Some days ago a rich man became troublesome through drink and wus tak en to tho Woshiugtonian home, a place iu Chicago where- drunken men are de tained until sobriety calms them. The rich man found a way to commnuicate with his lawyer, but before legal action looking to his release could be taken bis relatives applied at the home, and be was restored to their custody. Ho has since enjoyed his freedom. It is ull over now, but some day a very interesting question relative to that quasi public institution will de mand a prompt and definite answer. Whut right hus the Wusliiiigtouiuu borne to receive men drunk or sober from their friends or others and deprive them for a month or a day or uu hour of thoir liborty? If tlieotllcials and at- tenuants more can receive one man brought thero by his friends, may they not by the same right receive unothei brought by his enemies? If any institution in tho city may without judicial commitment restrain a man because he is troublesome througli drink, may it not restrain another be cause he is troublesome through other causes, ull tho way from discoursing on flutes to u rich but discouruging old age? If it may deprive a man of his liberty for an hour, may it not keep him prisoner for months, for years, through out his natural life? The actions of this so called "homo' are somewhat too radical. Its superior! ty to all laws mid constitutions, its con travention of the principle that all men have an inalienable right to liberty till deprived of it by due process of law, its lofty disapproval of any legal inter ference, may culminate some day in n challenge of the wholo strango basis on which it rests. Chicago Herald Hunan Couldn't lie Trusted There. A long legged, gawky sort of a chap from down the Potomac, who was visit ing Washington, was walking alsmt the ofllee of the Arlington hotel, apparently gazing on it aa one of the sights of the capital, when one of the clerks tackled him for a bit of fun. 'Is there anything we can do for yon?" inquired the clerk. ' I reckon not, wns the reply. "Perhaps yon would liko a room if yon are going to be in town." well, I reckon I am t; leastways not right now." "Do yon think of coming?" "Well, yes, me and my wife lias been talkiu ulxmt it. " Of course if you come you won t find a better place than this to stay. We are in the finest quarter of the city, and the White House is just across the street" "Is that so?" exclaimed the rooster. "Yes, indeed." "Then it ain't no place for my wife. " This was a startler for the clerk. "Why not?" he asked iu surprise. 'She would be greatly pleased. " In course she would. She'd be tickled to death, she would, but I wou't let her come." "But why?" "You don't know my wife, Ireckon?" "I have never haii that pleasure," bowed the clerk. "In conrso yon haven't. She's a fine woman, but she's got her weakness." But lifo in this hotel would bring her around all right." "That a what you euy, young feller, but I know Susan. Why, of she come here to live, she wonldn 't be here a week 11 she'd be rumiin acrtwt the street seven times a day to borrer some deru thing er other from the White House folks. She can't help it to save her life, but they're kinder used to it in onr place, and it makes it come a good deal easier on rue than it would here, where people is some different in their notions. No, sir, ft we come to Washin'tou to atop any time, I'm goin to git out in the aoobnrbs, where Susan will have room to spread without bumpin np ag'inst the fust families. "New York Sun. was nil iu vain. The littlo rny longed for his lost playmates and would care for none of these things. As ho wandered sadly among the heavy, driving clouds, losing himself iu their sullen masses, searching fur somo crevice through which he might penetrate, one of them pitied him. "Since yon will it so," said she, "1 will lot you througli, though I fear you will find that dreams that arc past can never be dreamed again." Then she shrank back from her neighbor, and with ono swift word of thanks tho little rny darted down through the opening sho had made. Down he went to the sea below and there lay quivering and lost in its black gulf. Oh, what a changed world it wasl Above bim the tempest hurried along nnd shouted to tho waves as it went, and the waves throw their white heads up and answered back iu crashing thunders. "Death, death, and the end of all things!" passionately yelled the tempest "Ruin!" roared tho waves. "Naught is that can withstand us I" a world of darkness and tumult and terrible unrest Tho littlo ray lay where ho had lighted, tremulous and afraid, now glimmering for uu instant among cataracts of rushing foam and then lost again in tho dark depths of the water. "Ha!" criod the waves when they saw him. "So you are hero, littlo ray. Tho world is changed sinco yon saw it last. " "Changed indeed," said tho ray. "Oil, why cannot yon bo as yon wero licforo, my playmates?" But tho waves laugh ed, shaking spray from their crests till the tempest caught it and whirled it mountain high iu tho air. "Give us tho winds for playmates, " they cried, "and the men's lives for onr sport. Talk to us not of tho wretched, spiritless days that aro past. The world is worth living in now. " "But you wero happy then. You rejoiced iu tho earth's beau ty and wero happy," said tho little ray wistfully. "Becausowo knew no bet ter," they answered. "We have learned sinco then that thero is something fairer than beauty, more glorious than joy. Oh, tho rupture of fury when we raise tho ship high in the air to hurl her down on tho rocks beneath tho cruel rocks whom we lovo and linger to kiss and infold iu our soft white arms even then in the joy of that moment of pow er. To crush into pieces tho mighty vessel with nil its wealth and labor of workmanship; to scatter abroad tho heavy fragments, flinging them to and fro in tho very scorn of our sovereign strength; to watch men gasp in their death agony as we lift ourselves above their writhing bodies, and then to crash down and dash the life from their lips this is power, littlo friend; this is pow er, and there is no glory in the world liko the glory of power. " 1 ho ray grew chill and wan and trem bled as ho listened. "Is thero nothing, then, left which is fair to look upon iu all this waste of waters?" he cried, and he wandered dismally on. Kverywhere the samo dark gulfs and white crested mountains mingling together in tumul tuous chaos; everywhere floating frag ments of wreck and tho stain of earth torn from its parent shore; ruin and de struction and nothing that was fair to look upon. Far out to sea a woman, with a child iu her arms, floated alone iu a small open bout Alone they had been saved from a wrecked and sunken ship saved from drowning, us it seemed, but to die of hunger, and for hours they had tossed ! glum e followed swiftly up to the putl of bliiu sky iiIhivh, while over her death like face and in her dulled eyes there broke n light such as tho rny had never seen before. At the sight of It now lie (lashed back np to the heavens beyond tho clouds. "Come," hn cried to his comrades, "coiuu mid see, for there is something fairer than aught that hus been before, fairer than the sunlit sea or than the laughter on children's lips. " His comrades Hocked to his cull and poured down through the crevice iu tho clouds, widening it as they went. Then they stretched themselves, a broad puth of light, from the sky ubove to the lone ly bout, which they balhed In their soft radiance. Across tho storm driven sea, cleaving the waves asunder w ith stately motion, a great ship came. The eve of those on Isiard her, wearied with gloom, turn ed gladly to that bright spot on sky and sea, and turning saw the Ixuit, saw tho white face of tho woman nail her waving siguuL So the ship altered her course, and mmiii I he mother uud her burden stood safe upon the decks. Kveiiing drew near. The tempest had fled now, and thus left alone the tirod, gray waves, their strength fulling and their fury NiH'tif, were heaving in sullen impotence to rest. The clouds, falling away from the sky, gathered themselves in soft, changing masses of vapor around the edge of the sen. Tho sun, sinking lower and lower, culled to the rays to come. Sadly they heard the call. They bade farewell to their beloved , earth in a passion of fervid color. Upon wuvo and cliff, mountain and cloud. they ruined their glowing kisses, and earth's lieauty quivered into new glory, i as docs a maiden's iu her lover's em-: brace. Then they drew together, n roiwl of golden splendor on the sea us they i crowded westward after their depart-' ing king. With slow, majestic motion ! he sunk to rest. j But the little ray hung back. He had found the cloud who hud stood his friend that morning, and he waited to ' give her goodby. Hu was filling her now with his own golden glory of light ns he whispered to her of all the beuuty which was in the world. Alas, she would stay with it still in tho wonder of the night, the great dark peace which he never might know. He thanked her, too, in loving words nnd kisses till she blushed rod with pleasure, and then with tender, slow roliictunce he drew away from her. As ho went tho flush faded, passing in gentlo change through every shade of russet and purple till the cloud was left alone, resting soft and gray on her twilight couch. But the little ray wns thinking of the light of hope which ho hud seen in the woman's eyes that day. "Ah," said he to himself, "if I could only shiuo liko that!" And with this wish in him he lingered still iu tho sky beneath, color ing it a green so pure uml so tender that to the woman watching froiu tho ship's deck it seemed ns if heaven's own spring were bursting into blossom in her sight But tho light lessened, and the color faded, nnd she remembered thut it was but sun tinted vapor after nil.

AN ELECTRICAL GIANT. It Is a Ninoty-alx Ton Loeoinotlve That May Revolutionise Railroading. Is the age of steam soon to give way to the age of electricity? Recent devel opments point unmistakably in that di rection. In two pluces of luie the elec tric locomotive has succeeded the old time iron horse driven by steam, aud there seems excellent ground for believ ing that in the near future nearly ull transportation will be done by means of electrical power. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad recently placed iu opera tion in its tunnel in Baltimore the most powerful locomotive ever constructed, and the power that operates it is elec tricity. This wonderful electric motor is 35 feet long uud tips the scales at ill! tons. It is 14 feet high, and its four electric motors give it 1,440 horsepower. It is built to maintain a speed of 45 miles an hour for passenger uud lo miles an hour for freight trains and can drag a train of from 200 to 250 empty Hut curs on a level track without starting a bolt. The power is communicated to the locomo tive by moans of a trolley arrangement similar to that iu use on the electric street railroads. The electric locomotive is designed solely for tunnel work nnd is fuvored for this task because it carries no coal, Hl Doxlor t'lirrrrl Iti-uorte Whlrh Ara Ahroad A limit II In Health. The numerous reports regarding the ill health of the pope which have been iu circulation recently have Induced Dr. Laiiiioui to muke the following state ments regarding the condition of his holiness: "Tho health of Leo XIII, " says the doctor, "is excellent Contrary to re ports, liis nourishment remains tho same as formerly, und his appetite never fulls Jti in. At H o'clock iu the morning be takes a cup of chocolate and a hit of bread. At 3 o'clock p. m. bis luncheon is served. It consists of soup, one or two courses of moat, fruit and a glass of Bordeaux. Iu the evening at 0 o'clock Leo XIII again cuts soup, meat, fruit nnd wine. His stomach acts with marvelous regularity. His sleep is long and quiet Hu cannot bo said to be los ing his powers. The pope has as great powers of resistance as he over had. During tho grout heat of thesnmmor he bus, of course, been uffeoted somewhat. To glvo nn idea of the strength pre served by this old man of 84 years let me say that Loo XIII takes pleasure in going in search of great books in the library, somo of them weighing as much as 10 pounds, nnd carrying them to his I working desk. To those who say that 1 tho pope cannot hold himself erect and I is obliged to allow himself to bo carried in a litter we can simply reply thut, like ! all his predecessors, Leo XIII allows ! himself to Is! carried in a litter when he 1 goes to the garden. He gets into tho lit ter in hi? ofllee. But thut is simply a rule of etiquette. Kvery tiny, after once reaching the garden, ho walks for hours at a time, supported by his cane. He walks more easily than a number of per sons of his suit. In short, Leo XIII I walks, or at least stands up, for four or ; five hours a day.

MaMBrliiiiH-tIa Una n New Law Containing Ktcellint Ifovlnloua, A new jury law has just gone into operation iu Massachusetts, uud some of its provisions aro manifestly so good that they might well bo embodied in the code of oilier states. For instance, one section reuds, "Tho board of alder men of uny city shall not strike any name from the jury list us prepured, ex cept of a person who has been convicted of a crime and has not been pardoned on the ground of his innocence of Baid crime, or of a person who 1b not quali fied by law for servico as a juror." The intention hero wus to do away with the favoritism by which men of influence were iu the habit of ridding themselvos of tho duty of serving on juries. The penalty for a violation of the sec tion quoted is severe, it being provided that if any person is guilty of fraud iu the drawing of jurors, either by prac ticing on the jury box previously to a draft, or in drawing a juror, or in re turning into the box the name of a juror which had been lawfully drawn out and drawing or substituting another in his stead, or in striking a name from the jury list, he shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $ "iOO. An additional ollicinl safeguard is thrown around the selection of jurors by the requirement that the mayor of any city shall be present ut the drawing and verify by personal inspection the result of tho ballots announced by the alderman appointed for tho purpose. The law was framed to counteract the corrupt influence thut had previously prevailed in the making up of juries iu the cities of the state. New York Post.
