IWEETEN LIFE WITH KISSES,
A good-bye kiss Is a little thing,
With your band on the door to go.
But it takes the venom out of the sting
Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare,'*
After the toil of the day,
Aud it smooths the^arrows plowei b
care,
The lines on the forehead you once cat lei
fair,
In the year;* that have flown away.
'Tis a little thing to say, “You are kind,
I love you, my dear,’’ each night,
But it sends a thrill through the heart, I
find;
For love is tender, as love is blind.
As we climb life’s nigged bight.
We starve each other for love's caress,
We take but we do not give;
It seems so easy some soul to bless,
But we dole the love gru Igingly, less and
less,
Till ’tis bitter and hard to live.

THE SAVINGS BANK.
BY BEBTROLD AUERBACH,
OU know that
I lost my father
and mother in
my infancy, and
i that I had not a
relative in the
world. I was
wild and
thoughtless
when I began
my appren ice-
S a \» ° Ck
smith. My mas-
ter was, on tbe other hand, a grave, re¬
served man, so that a very few words
from him were important. When for
the first time he paid me a week’s wages,
he said: “Peter, you do not need more
than half of what is due you; the other
half I will set asido for the saviugs
‘bank.” And so it was.
. On Palm Sunday, before mass, he
went with me to the savings bank. My
name was written in a huge register,
and they gave me a book, on the first
page of which was inscribed my
name, aud on the second my
deposit, seven crowns. I held my little
. book lovingly, ami looked often at my
name and the amount of my capital. I
was so enchanted with this first opera-
tion that I became avaricious. I reformed
my habit of smoking, and gave myself
no rest till 1 had another small sum to
deposit. When I passed the bauk build¬
* ing, l would say to myself, “There is
my good money bringing interest night
and day. Very good. I will add to the
amount.”
Would that I had continued to talk
alone to myself! But I soon couflded in
a companion from the Palatinate, and
whom for that reason we called the Pala-
tin. To amuse myself on Sunday, I
would take my book from its box,
and would try to compare precisely
how much a month my twelve
crowns would bring me. The
Palatiu, who was a skilful aecouutaut,
told me exactly, aud then he began to
make sport of the trifling amount, aud
tossed my book into the air, exclaiming:
“Look at tho fortune of the great
capitalist, Peter Werner 1”
The little book fell on my head, and
seemed to me to have suffered Insult. I
wiped it, put it back into the box, aud
did not show it to my companion again.
Just before Christmas there was a
great fire in tho city. The building that
contained the savings bank was con¬
sumed before aid could be brought. I
was greatly excited when I learned that
the registers of deposit were burned.
The Palatin, however, laughed heartily.
“You fool!” said he, “what are you cry¬
ing for? The city has guarantsed the de-
posits made iu the savings bank. You
have your receipt. The State must pay
you. *
This reflection reassured me. I showed
my book to my compauion agaiu, and he
told me that it was perfectly correct.
That night, when we lay down side
by side to sleep, he said: • ‘Peter, you
and I can be rich, aud have nothing to
do but see the world, and let our money
work for us.” He added that we must
both go to California, where the earth is
full of gold.
“Very good,'* I answered, “but who
will give us the money to make the voy¬
age?”
“Haven’t you your bank book?'*
“You called it a trifle yourself.”
“We will make something better of
it/’ he said, striking a ught. “I have
an idea. Get up and show me your
book.”
“Capital!”he cried, when I had havt given
him my book. “Nobody will the
slightest suspicion. ‘Received this day
five crowns ’ Of ‘five crowns’ I will
make ‘five hundred, and we will have
the means of starting on our travels
At these words I began to tremble.
“My friend, said I, “tlrs ought not to
be done. I will not permit it.”
“Let me alone,” re oiled he; “I will
®how you how easy it is.’
A fatal curiosity awoke m me, and 1
said to him: “You can do it this way.
Try it on another paper, or else you will
spoil my book, and I shall lost the little
I posses^.” hoped
I he wouid not succeed, and
tbit his failure would deliver me from
m y guilty covetousness; and yet £ could
have wished him to succeed.
“Let me alone,” he sharply replied,
“and do not make me angry; or else my
band will tremble, aud L shall spoil
everything.” chest,
I crossed my arms on my and
with trembling I watched him change
tbe words written in my precious book,
while it seemed as if my heart tyere
bursting. Then he took a little knife
»nd scratched out a few letters. I shiv-
ered and yet I said to myself. “Now
you are rich and able to grow richer.”
I looked at what he had just written.
“Received five hundred crowns." No-
body could detect the least falsification
i a these words, and the great register
v&a buri.ea.
We returned to bed. I already saw
myself across the ocean, picking up
nuggets of gold. I had a carriage with
four magnificent horses, and a servant
who offered me a beautiful meerschaum
pipe trimmed with silver, while another
poured my champagne.
The next morning at the table I feared
every moment that I might see an
officer approaching to take me to prison,
I was so much afraid of uttering an im-
prudent word that I dared not reply im-
mediately to any question. I no longer
dared to carry money to the savings
bank, but made long detours to avoid
passing the building in which it had
been reorganized. Gradually, however,
I recovered a sort of tranquility, as I
saw'ffhat nobody suspected what I had
done. But when, on the approach of
Christmas, ray master’s children began
to dance around me one morning, say-
ing, “We know something wo shan’t
tell!” their voices pierced my heart like
a knife. They knew tho surprises their
father was preparing for our pleasure,
and were delighted with their secret.
On Christmas Eve, Counselor Men-
ninger’a servant came running to our
workshop. I was in the door-way. She
said she had come for me, and that I
must go at once with my tools to her
master’s house.
The counselor’s name had terrified
me. Could my cffeuce be already
known? I had decided not to use the
book until spring, aud had never shown
it. But I was afraid of everything.
Nevertheless, I went with the young
girl. She had a sweet, fresh face, ami
the pure Christmas light burned iu her
eyes.
<‘My father was a locksmith," said
sbe tt g t p e ter is our patron, and for
many /to people the kev to Paradise fs the
ke their money-box.”
We arrived at the counselor’s housa,
aud I was shown into a richly-furnished
room. The counselor brought me au
elegant case whose key was broken, and
bade me open it. He then told Cath¬
erine, my guide, that he had other
preparations to make, and bade her re¬
main with the locksmith.
“It will be hard for you,” said I to
Catherine, “to leave these beautiful
rooms for some poor little home.”
“I have plenty of time in which to
make up ray mind to it,” she replied.
“But you do not yet know everything.
Living iu a rich dwelling, one soon
learns that it matters little whether he is
with a golden spoon or a brass
one. The essential thing is to live in
peace with a good conscience.”
At these words I could no longer find
the keyhole, and Catherine began to
laugh at my lack of skill. At length,
however, I opened the casket, and my
eyes were dazzled by its contents. Upon
a blue velvet cushiou glittered a set of
diamonds.
Catherine stepped to the door and
called her master; but no sooner had he
glanced at the casket than he rudely
seized my hand, saying: “The brooch
with the large diamond iu tho ceutre is
gone!”
I shook like a poplar leaf, and was
about to throw myself on my knees,
when I heard Catherine’s voice.
“IIow can you think--” said she,
“I was here!”
“Be still! We will examine you too!”
lie called to his wife, and then, turn-
ing to me, said that he would search me,
while his wife did the same to Cathar-
ine.
And seeing this honest maiden out-
raged mvse'lf bv such odious suspicious, I yield-
to his hands But I never ean
longer^like wliat I felt at that moment ^en slavl I felt
no a man or a
but like some vile animal. An act of
injustice had been committed
me. Compared with this, the
offence of which I was really guilty
sc -mid but a petty 1 snd childish thing,
My anger grew still greater when
auother servaut suggested that Catherine
might have hidden the diamonds in her
hair, aud I saw the poor girl as pale as
death with her braids all unbound.
Ol course the counselor found nothing
on Catherine or me. I remember in that
parting I said to the young girl: “Be
patient: I will make up to you all you
have sufiered through me.”
The affront I had suffered paralyzed
conscience.
I sought often to see Catharine, but
successfully. She was afraid
if we were seen together, it would
fresh suspicion. One day, how-
she met me with a joyful expres-
sion, aud said:
“God be thanked! We are nowcom-
pletely justified. My master’s sister has
writte l him that she forgot to put the
into the casket.”
“And is not the counselor going to

“Hashed my pardont”
me to do so,” she replied,
“and asked me to do so for him. At
same time she beggei me to harbor
resentment because ot what had hap-
to me.
“You may have committed some se-
fault, said she. "Accept what you
suffered as an affliction.”
I never had felt so happy before. I
Catharine that I would yet be rich
wouid give her a beautiful carnage,
to four horses, and she prom-
to be faithful to me, should I come
her oa foot. The thing I had done
seemed nothing in comparison with
humiliation which I had suffered.
Palm Sunday having come, I decided,
the instance of the Palatin, to draw
money, in order to try ray fortune in
world and make Catherine my wife,
wished the Palatin to accompany me
the bank, but he refused.
I entered the counting room. Cou P •

gave me new courage. He was the
man who had insulted me. While I
waited the sweat trickled down my
and mv book stuck to my fingers

said the counselor, “Will you have
coin or paper?”
I said I would have paper, and ha
gave me a little roll of notes on each of
which was written, “100 crowns.” i
trembled so that I could hardly hold
these notes in my hands, and when he
asked me if the right sura was there, I
could oulv nod in the affirmative. Sud-
denly he looked attentively at me.
“Are you not the locksmith,” he asked,
“whom I summoned on Christmas
Eve?”
“Yes,” said I.
“I am delighted to see you again. I
beg you to forgive my unjust suspicion
of you, which must have caused you
pain. It would give me great pleasure
if I could render you a service. But
what is the matter? Are you ill?”
I fell on my knees, crying, “No, no;
I am a scoundrel. Take back your
money.”
And I told him all.
The counselor was a good man. Ho
saw my despair, and spoke to me kindly
My dangerous companion was obliged to
leave the city. I was affianced to Oath-
erine in the counselor’3 house, and he
aided me to establish myself in the city.
I ought to add that before I left the sav-
ings bank I burned my little book.—
From the German, in Romance.
His Broom Overawed the Lious.
An incident happened at Barr.uui <$
Bailey’s show after it took up its wintei
quarters at Bridgeport, Conn., which
shows to whafc danger an ignorant man
will expose himself and how he may es-
cape all injure. “Tody” Hamilton, the
well known and. popular press agent of
the firm, was asked i j for f work i by i a hulk- u ii
mg big German named Ilans and as
somebody was wanted to clean the cages
of the animals he was engaged. He was
told to clean the cages containing the
lions, tigers, etc., thoroughly, both in¬
side and outside. The man set to work
and Mr. Hamilton went about his busi¬
ness. He came back sometime afterward
and was wondering what had become of
tbe new hand, for he was nowhere to be
seen. On making a closer search, Mr.
Hamilton was horrified to see the man
inside the cage with the five lions. Ho
was going about his work iu a most me¬
thodical way, sweeping tbe floor vigor¬
ously with his broom which he occasion¬
ally “shooed” into the faces of the as¬
tonished lions whenever any of them
came anywhere near him. The aminal3
were evidently so surprised at the man’s
utter indifference to them that they kept
huddled up iu one corner until Hans
wanted to clean out that particular part
of the cage. They were unceremoniously
evicted with the help of the broom and
they scampered around utterly forgetful
of their proper dignity. Mr. Hamilton
never expected to see the man come out
alive, as he felt sure the animals would
attack him as soon as he started to leave
the den. He hastily got some of the
older hands together and then ho or¬
dered the German to come out of the
cage. The fellow wanted to finish his
job and laughed at the idea of the ani¬
mals hurting him, but he finally obeyed
orders, and got out of the cage without
a scratch.
What prevented the animals from tear¬
ing him to pieces is a mystery, for no-
body dares enter the cage in which these
particular lions are, as they are a sav¬
ago, unruly lot. The coolness of the deed
must have utterly astonished the lions

Lynching Story,
An Official Denial and Statement of its
Source.
A Washington special of Friduy says:
The circumstantial story of the Bakers-
ville lynching and riot, transmitted from
Johnson City, Tenn., signed J. W.
Hyams, immediately attracted attention
by its apparent exaggeration, and tele¬
grams were sent both to the author of
the original dispatch and to the adja¬
cent points in the south to secure verifi¬
cation. Hyams responded to the inquir¬
ies by furnishing the uames and other
details, which seemed to confirm the
statements made, but replied to requests
for further authentication by stating
that the roads to Bakersville were
blocked and impassable. In the mean¬
time other means had been resorted to of
ascertaining the actual facts, and Friday
morning the following message was re¬
ceived from a responsible citizen of
Johnson City: “Your telegram of yes¬
terday. -J. W. Hyams came here about
one week ago from Cranberry, N. C.
Was formerly a resident of Bakersville,
N. C. Is now working here as assistant
city editor of the Daily Comcc. Unable
to say where he obtained his bloody
story. Can now assure you it is untrue.”
The story dated Marion, N. C., in pre¬
cisely similar terms to that from Johnson
City, was telegraphed Wednesday to the
western newspapers.
The Johnson authority City man claimed to be
ac'ing under of one of the exe¬
cutive officers of the Southern Associated
Press. When that gentleman’s attention
was called to the fact he denied all knowl¬
edge him of the imposter. correspondent For and denounced
vious as an Wednesday several days pre-
to the western newspa-
pers had been advised of the expected
trouble at Bakersville and had called upon
the press associations for particulars,
These were furnished bv a Johnson City
man and along with the particulars came
a demand for a remittance.
Bakersville is inaccessible, being twen¬
ty-seven miles from the nearest railroad
station or telegraph office, and it has
been a work of extreme difficulty to se¬
cure an authoritative denial or confirma¬
tion of the reports of the alleged trage¬
dies.
It, need hardly be said that this matter
will not be allowed to rest here, but
that prompt and vigorous steps will be
taken to get at the real author of this im-
^ dispatch
Still another from Johnson
Citv confirms the above, except that it
says Hyams is not connected with the
Daily Comet.
Asheville, N. C., dispatch says:
Two correspondents sent by the Citizen
t 0 Bakerville, N. C., Wednesday, re¬
turned Fiiday night worn out and dis¬
gusted, having traveled nearly one hun¬
dred miles with horses and in a continu¬
ous snow storm. They say there has
been no trouble whatever at Bakersville,
nor is there reason to expect any.

A special cable dispatch. Tues-
day, from Paris, says: The French
ministry has resigned owing to
the differences in the cabinet ou

greatest f. excitement prevails and people r 1
throng the streets. The police are out .
