A Discovery That Made the Propri
etor's Hair Curl
[From the St. Paul Globe.]
Herman Stone, the pawnbroker and
jeweler, who has a place on Jacksou
street, near the corner of Fonrtb street.
wa< looking over a quantity of unre
deemed pledges yesterday, when he
found something wbioh made his hair
fairly stand on end. About a year ago
a young man called at the store of Mr.
Stone and said he desiref to borrow
•ome money from the office on personal
property. The property consisted of a
valise, an overooat, a suit of clothing
and a gold watch. The amount loaned
on the goods was $45 and the man who
secured the load said he would call In
the course of a few days and redeem the
property. The goods were placed in the
vault eirtd have remained there undis
turbed ever since.
When the musty old satchel was
taken out of the vault yesterday it was
found to be in the tame condition as it
was at the time it was placed In the
room for safekeeping. The clothing
had bjeu made into a separate package.
The valise was broken open and inBide
was found a red leather belt consi
derably the worse for wear. The belt
was noticed thst it was very heavy and
bad little pockets along the side.
Mr. Stone took the belt out into the
front room of the store and opened the
packets' o.it rolled g >ld pieces, double
eagles, to the number of 34. They were
as bright and shiny as the day they
were taken from the mint, and they
looked as though they]had justbeen tak
en from the bank. The coins were all of
the same date, 1890. The money legally
belongs to the Under unless some person
from whom it was taken, as it was ap
parently stolen, proves his pcoerty.
NEUTRAL GROUND ON THE OHIO.
It Belongs to Kontuoky, but Defies
Blue Grass end Hoosler Laws.
[From the New York 8nn.]
“D’ you know that there’s a piece of
Kentucky that 1ms north of the Ohio
River ? That's right, even it you don’t
see it on the geography maps, end its
the greatest place in the world for the
sports.
“Just above Evansvillo, In<L, the Ohio
begins to make e big curyo—fifteen or
sixteen miles around it end only e mile
across in some placet. Going down the
river you see Henderson, Ky., not over
a mile eway; when yon are five or six
miles above Evansville, and when yon
get to Evansville you’re still ten or
eleven miles above Henderson. During,
the floods one spring the mer began to
cut a new channel, and, when it finished,
a big piece of ground that had been in
Kentucky was over in Indiana. For a
couple of years the Republicans on the
place used to get in a boat, row across
the river and vote in Kentucky, and
then row Wok and vote in Indiana.
“Finally the Kentucky officials tried
to collect taxes, and the Indiana officials
tried the same thing. The peopel
wouldn’t pay either, and the matter
went to the oourts. The Jodges decided
the ground was in Kentucky.
“Maybe the sports don’t have a good
time down there. When the Evansville
crowd wants to give aohicken fight they
walk down to Kentucky, and the In
diana polioe stand there and look at
them. Once in a great while the Sheriff
from tbs Kentucky County drops in on
the boys, but they just walk into In
diana and extend the Sheriff—well, be
accepts.’’

ONE GIRL’S WORK.
A FEW years ago a little gtrl'applied to
pastor in oes of our large cities for ad
mission into he sunday-scbool. She waa
told that the classes were so full there was
no room for bar, end that the church wss
email that no more classes could be or
gan iz ad. Much disappointed; the little
girl began to save pennies—her family was
poor—far -the purpose of enlarging the
church in order that she and others like
her might be accomodated. She told no
one of her ambitious purpose, however, so
that when the pastor of this church waa
called to her bedside a few mouths later, to
comfort her in her severe illness, he saw
nothing unusual/mly a frail child of six and
~ half years. The little sufferer died, and a
week later there found in her battered red
pocket-book, which bad been her saving*
bank fifty-seven pennies, and a scrap of
paper that told, in childish print, toe story
of her ambition, and the purpose of her
self-denial.
The story of thst little red pocket-book
and its contents, and of the unfaltering
faith of its little owner, got abroad. It
touched the heart of saint and sinner alike.
Her inipiration became a prophecy, and
men labored and women sang and children
saved to aid in its fulfillment. These fifty-
seven pennies became the nucleus of a
fund that in eix years grew to $250,000,
and to-day this heroine’s picture, life size,
hangs conspicuously in the ball-way of a
college building at which 1,400 students
attend, and connected with which there is
church capable of seating 8,000, a hospital
for children named the Good Samaritan,
and a snnday-schuol room large enough to
accommodate all the boys and girls who
have yet asked to enter it. A fairy story?
It reads like one, but happily it is.not one.
The little girl’s name was Hittie May
Wiatt, and the splendid institution describe
are located in Philadelphia.—Harper’s

PERFECT FAITH.
A street boy iu London had both bis legs
broken by.* dray passing over them. He
was laid in oce of the beds of the hospital
to die; and another little creature of the
same class was laid near by, picked up
sick with the famine fever. The latter
was allowed to lie down by the side of the
little crushed boy. He crept up to him
and said: ‘'Bobby, did you ever hear about
Jesus?” “No, I never heard of h im,"
Bobby, I went to mission-school once,and
they told ns that Jesus would take you to
heaven when you die, end you’d never hun
ger any mire, and no more pain, if you
axed him.”
“I couldn’t ax such a great big gentle-
nun as he is to do anything for me. He
would not stop to speak to a boy like me.'
But he’ll do all that, if yob ax him. 1
“How can I ax him if I don’t know where
he lives? and how could I get there with
both legs brokt?"
“Bobbie, thejr. told me at the mission-
school as how Jesus passed by. The
teacher said that be goes around. How da
you know but what be might come this
very night? You’d know him if you was
to see him.”
“But I can’t keep my eyes open. My
legs feel so awful b*dl Doctor says I’ll
die;
“Bobby, hold up your hand and he’ll
know what you wan’t when he passes by.'
They got the band up; it dropped. They
tried it again; it slowly fell beck Three
times he got up the little bend only to let
it fall Bursting into tears, he mid-
give it up." /
"Bobby lend me your hand. Putyer
dbow on my pillar; I can do without it.”
Bo his head was propped up. When
they cams in the morning the boy lay dead,
his hand still held up for Jesus.
You nuy search the world and you can
not find a grander illustration of simple
trust than that of the little boy who had
been to a mission-school but once.—John

BOYS, BRAD AND HEED THIS.
Many people seem to forget that charac
ter grows, that is not something to put on
ready-made with womanhood or man
hood; bat day by day, here a little and
there a little, grows with the growth, and
strengthens with strength, until good
bad, it becomes almost a coat of mail.
Lock at a man of business,—prompt, re
liable, conscientious, yet deer beaded and
energetic. When do you suppose he de
veloped all those admirable qualities?
When he waa a boy? Let us see bow
boy of ten yeace gets np iu the morning
works, plays, studies, and we wQI tell you
just what kind of a man he will mtke,
The boy that.la too late at school, stands
poor chance to be a prompt man. The
boy who neglects his do les, be they ever
so small, and excuses himself by saying, “I

liable man; and the boy who finds pleasure
in the suffering of weaker tiring will never
be e noble, generous kind man—a gentle
man.—Christian Helper.

DEVOTION IN BIRD..
Hero is a touching story, If true, of con
jugal affection among birds. A few daya
ago a fancier found the dead body of a
male pigeon lying on the floor of the
pigeon house. The female bird, “das
Weibchen,” waa sorrowing at the side of
the corpse. He threw the dead bird into
the yard, and the female immediately flew
A Striking Resemblance,
He was the son ot a worthy citizen and
had just retained from college. His father
was a brusque, matter of fact man, who
had no liking for anything pronounced, and
he* noticed with sorrow that his son re
turned with the latest thing in collars and
various other insignia of dudedom. The
old gentleman surveyed him critically when
he appeared in his office and then blurted
out, “Young man, you look like an idiot.”
Just at that moment, and before the
young man had time to make a fitting re
ply, & friend walked in. '
“Why, hello, Billy, have you returned?”
he asked. “Dear me, how much yon re
semble your father!”
“So he has been telling me,” replied
Billy.
And from that day to this the old gentle
man has had no fault to find with his son
