These minor affairs having Leen arranged. Mr. Hackstaff took up a New York newspaper that be bad bought that day for the purpose of learning the sailing dates of outgoing steamers and learned that a stenmer would sail via the Mediterranean and the Suez canal for China the next afternoun. An examiuation of a railroad time ta- | ble indicated that the ouly train by which Mrs. Hackstaff could catch that steamer passed through and stopped at | Atherton at 1 v'clock in the worning | The Hackstafi A Story Showing How Jus- tice May Eit. TN PXTerin Do one could be found who bad seen Mrs. Hacksta® leave Atherton, that Hackstaff had looked quite as uneasy | as if be had committed murder, and ' various other incidents, all ot which | combined warranted a grand jury in tnding ao indictment against him, | though the preponderance of evidence | of the experts being that the signature to the check was genuine cuused the charge of forgery to be dropped. Hackstaff told his story as it bas been told bere. with a few additions | not bearing on the case. This was that his wife was a cotton speculator and used, with his occasional assist- | ance, to examine the crops in the south, ' where ther were grown. A condition ' of the coutton market had occasioned a visit to Bombay. and she had gone there, expecting to buy largely. \What had worried bim was that the steamer on which she had sniled bad not been reported since issuing from the Red sea into the gulf of Aden. f There were several missing lnks in his explanations. His wife's dress, which bad bLeen exhumed had become deodorized; the ticket ngent at Ather- ton. who knew Mrs. Huckstaff well, bad ! no remembrance of baving sold ber a ticket on the date claimed, and owing to ber catching the steamer at the last moment her name did not appear on the passenger list. Opinion which had lvng been grow- ing against the accused and the fact that the prosecuting attorney was ; showing great energy in convicting criminals previous to a campaign be was about to ke for an important judgeship prevalled over this fimsy evidence, and Hackstaff was given a death sentence. Mrs. Hackstalf, meanwhile having crossed the Atlantic and traversed the Mediterranean and the Red sea, was wrecked on the Persian coast. She reached the shore with no money and, being penniless in a strange land, went through various adventures before meeting a fellgw countryman who belped bher out and enabled her to | reach Bombay. l All this took time. A few days before Hackstaff was to! be hanged a cablegram was Mndad' him from his wife. Presuming that he had heard of the wreck, she announced ber safety and that she had arrived at Bombay. The informatien contained in the cablegram was limited. but it was enough to save ber husband from l swinging at a rope’s end.

He had mo trade or profession and had worked in Europe as a laborer. He could not read or write. Somehow he got past the immigra- tion inspectors and landed here with no mouey and no immediate prospects of a job But he had friends who placed him as a janitor of a small New York business building. There the im- migrant remained a few days until the owner of the bullding learned that he could not read or write. Then the Janitor was “fired” promptly. Well- For a time he knocked about New York, working at odd jobs. Then he accumulated a little money—enough to start him in business as a peddler. His natural business abilities showed them- selves to such good advantage that in & remarkably short time he owned a business and was on the road to wealth. But he never found time to acquire any education. One day a friend said to him: “It's too bad, Mr. C., that you, with your natural business ability, never learned to read and write.” “Vell,” said Mr. C.. “maybe if 1 could read and write [ vould yet be der jani- tor.” The inference is that he had done better without the haadicap of an edu- cation. Perhaps so, from a financial viewpoint, 3 But look at the other side of the shield.

SWATTS' Clerk. 3 ———————————————— Scatter Sunshine, A little thought will show you how vastly your own happiness depends on the way other people bear themselves toward you. The looks and tones at your breakfast table, the conduct of your fellow-workers or employers, the falthful or unreliable men you deal with, what people say to you on the street, the way your cook and house- maid do their work, the letters you get, the friends or foes you meet— these things make up very much of the pleasure or misery of your day. Turn the idea around, and remember that just so much are you adding to to the pleasure or the misery of other people's days. And this is the halt of the matter which you can control. ‘Whether any particular day shall bring to you more of happiness or of suffering is largely beyond your power to determine. Whether each ray of your life shall give happiness or suf- fering rests with yourself.—George 8. Merriam. Cholera has usually found a use ful ally in superstition. In the old days the disease was believed to lie bottled up in volcances and to be released by eruptions. The most effectual way to avold it was to sleep in bed with your head due south. In Russia during the terrible epidemics six years ago the peasants would not trust the doctors, whom they actually accused of caus- ing the disease, but drank a fearful mixture of tar, resin and petroleum as preventives, and fired guns from the doors and windows to scare the chol- era away. What spreads the disease along the caravan routes of Asia is the habit of washing dirty clothes in the drinking wells. Rooks were the birds whose conduct in connection with the cholera was ob- DVERTISING Is|= the Huphen That Brings Buper ad Seller Together. The Lakeland Steam Laundry R. W. WEAVER, Prop.
