“Going noth, madame?”
“No, ma’am.”
“Going south, then?”
“I don’t know, ma’am.”
“Why, there are only two ways to
go.”
“I didn’t know. I was never on
the cars. I’m waiting for the train
to go to John.”
“John! There is no town called
John. Where is it?”
“Oh, John’s my son. He’s out in
Kansas on a claim.”
“I’m going right to Kansas my¬
self. l r ou intend to visit?”
“No, ma’am.'’
She ol said it with a sigh so heart- ,
burdened the rtranger was touched.
“John sick?”
“No.”
The evasive tone, the look of pain
on the furrowed face were noticed
by the stylish lady as the gray head
bowed upon the toiled-marked hand.
She wanted to bear her story—to
help her.
“Excuse me. John in trouble?”
“No, no; I’m in trouble. Trouble
my old heart never thought to see.”
“The train does not come for some
time. Here, rest your head on my
cloak.”
“You are vory kind. If my own
were so I shouldn’t be in trouble to
night.”
“What is your trouble? Maybe I
can help you.”
“It’s hard to tell to strangers, but
my old heart is too full to keep it
back. When I was left a widow
with three children, I thought it was
more than I could bear; but it wasn’t
as bad as this—”
The stranger waited till she re
covered her voice to go on.
“I had only the cottage and my
willing hands. I toiled early and
late all the years till John could help
me. Then wo kept the girls at school,
John and me. They wqre married
not long ago. Married rich, as the
world goes. John sold tlie cottage,
sent me to the city to live with them,
and he went West to begin for him
self. lie said, we had provided for
the girls, and ihey would provide for
me now—”
Her voice choked with emotion.
The stranger waited in silence.
“I went’ to them in the city, I
went to Mary’s first. She lived in a
great house with servants to wait on
her—a house many times larger than
the little cottage; but I soon found
theic wasn’t room enough for me—”
The tears stood in the lines on her
cheeks. The ticket agent came out
softly, stirred the fire and went back,
After a pause she continued:
“I went to Martha's—went with a
pain in my heart I never felt before.
I was willing to do anything so as to
not be a burden. But that wasn’t it.
I found they were ashamed of my
rough, wrinkled hands, made so toil
ing for them—”
The tears came thick and fast.—
The stranger’s hand rested caressing
ly on the gray head.
“At last they told mo I must live
at a there. boarding-house^and I couldn’t they’d anything keep

back; my heart was to full of pain,
I wrote to John what they were go
ing to do. lie wrote right back, a
long, kind letter, for me to come
right to him. I always had a home
while he had a roof, he said. To
come right there and stay as long as
I lived; that his mother should nev
er go out to strangers. So I’m going
to John. lie s got only his rough
hands and his great, warm heart,
but there's room for his old mother,
God bless him—”
Tlie stranger brushed a tear from
her cheek, and waited the conclusion.
“Some day when I am gone where
I’ll never trouble them again, Mary
and Martha will think of it all. Some
day when the hands that toiled
for them are folded and still; when
the eyes that watched over them
through many a weary night are
closed forever; when the little old
body, bent with the burdens it bore
for them, is put away where it can
never shame them—”
The agent drew his hand quickly
before his eyes and went out as if to
look for the train. The stranger’s
jewelled hand stroked the gray locks,
while the tears of sorrow andjtbe
tears of sympathy fell together.—
Soothed by a touch of sympathy, the
troubled soul yielded to the longing
for rest, and she fell asleep. r l he
agent went noiselessly about his du¬
ties that he might not wake her. As
the fair stranger watched, she saw a
smile on the care-worn face. The
lips moved. She bent down to bear: .

Begging in China.
A writer in the Youth’s Compan
ion says that he well remembers one
case among all the wretchedness and
disease found among the beggar class
of Pekin which moved his pity, and
which for months he regularly re
lieved. It was the case of an old man
ragged and shivering with cold who
sat every day by the street side. He
was not half clothed, and thrust out
in front of him were his feet, which
had evidently been frozen, and were
literally rotting off.
One day the writer missed the old
man from his accustomed plaoe, but,
on his return home from his usual
walk, overtook him. The old ma.i
was trudging along home, and all
signs of frozen feet had disappeared.
“Why,” said the writer, address
ing him, “how can you manage to
walk with those wretched feet of
yours?”
“Oh,” said the old man, “they are
in my bosom.”
“Then, without any hesitation or
sign of sliatne, ho thrust his hand in
his bosom and pulled out a pair of
socks padded with cotton so as to
represent his feet as swollen out of
shape. The socks were made of can
ves, and so accurately painted into
the resemblance of feet, with toe
nails dropping off, and the flesh a
mass of rottenness, that they bad de
ceived the writer in broad sunlight ~
a hundred times.
“ Well,” said the writer, very much
disgusted, “I should think an old
man like you would be ashamed to
swindle people in this way. Haven’t
y OU a trade and can riot you earn a
living in some honest way?”
To which the old man replied, as
simply and frankly as thoug his call
ing were quite honest and praise
worthy:
“Oh. yes, I’m a shoemaker. And
I [ iave been thinkg about giving up
this line of business, for it don’t pay
nearly as well as it used to. There
are too many beggars now; and, af
ter all, it’s pretty hard work sitting
there all day and shouting out,‘Have
pity!’ I believe I’ll go back to mend
ing shoes.”
In a day or two he appeared with
his kit of toolg and 1)is bench by tbe
side of the street quite near the wri
ter’s residence, and there he mended

A LUCKY TRAMP
HE GETS HIS EARE PAID ON THE TRAIN
AND A PEW DOLLARS BESIDES.
IFhen the train from Savannah
was leaving Gordon yesterday morn¬
ing, Conductor Cubbedge found a
tramp riding on tlie front end of his
coaches. He took the man in the car
and asked for his fare. The man did
not beg for his ride as is generally
the case ’ but he ? ave a most P lausi ’
ble account of himself and several
™ 18008 wb y he sbould bc allowed to
ride free. He was from Savannah and
heard that he could obtain work in
Macon; he had no money but was a
g entleman > and the railroad company
sbou,d tran8 P ort Findin S that
he was unable to pay his fare, Con
ductor Cubbedge was about to pull
the bell line to put him off when the
passengers, who bad overheard the
tramp’s story, said they would pay
the fare. They then chipped in and
made up enough money to pay the
fare and give the man a few dollars
besides. Then one of the passengers
sa id he would give the man work as
soon he reached Macon,
Very few tramps happen up with
S u C h good luck. Usually they are fired
from the car unceremoniously if they
attempt to ride. The regulation
journey is over the crossties, depend
ing upon the kindness of section bos-
8 es along the line to give them a bite
of something to eat, but this tramp
no t only rode in a first'dass car, but
was given enough money to board a
,lay or so at a hotel, and in addition
have a job of work thrust upon him.
It may be well to mention, howev
e r, that it is not every time a lot of
passengers possess as kind hearts as
those which furnished this tramp
with his transportation.

Lying Far Preferable to Climbing
Two rural visitors bad quite a dis¬
cussion at the City Hall, yesterday.
One of them was anxious to go into
the tower and the other was not.
Said Number One: “Come on, Jim,
l want to go up.”
“Who’s akeepin’ you? Go on an’
I’ll sit here on the stairs an’ wait. I
ain’t agoin’ up, so that settles it.”
“Why won’t you go?” persisted
the other.
“Wal, it’s a thunderin’ long climb
an’ then I don’t know but when we
« ot U P tbere tbat darned beU mi £ ht
ring.”
“Oh, come on. It’ll be a nice thing
to tell the folks, when we get home,
that we ’ ve been U P there ”
“You go up. I d rutherset here an
then go home an’ he lie about it.”
What Newspapers Should Be.
It is so obvious that whoever as¬
pires to lead and guide must take
counsel with those who have the dai¬
ly drudgery of administration to do,
that there is no need to labor the
point. What is much less generally
recognized is that the newspaper
ought to be in close and direct touch
with either extremity of the social
system ancl with all interminable
g’-ades. There is something inex¬
pressibly pathetic in the dumbness
of the masses of the people. Touch
but a hair of the head of the well-to
do and forthwith you hear his indig¬
nant protest in The Times.
But the million, who have to suf¬
fer the rudest buffets of ill-fortune,
the victims of official insollence and
the brutality of the bettei»off, they
are as dumb as the horse, which you
may scourge to death without its
uttering a sound. Newspapers will
never really justify their claims to
be tlie tribunes of the people until
every victim of injustice—whether
it be a harlot run in by a policeman
greedy for blackmail, or a ticket-of
leave man hunted down by the shad¬
ow of detectives, or paupers balked
of their legal allowance of skilly—
seeds in to the editorial sanctum
their complaint of the injustice of
which they suffer. When men cease
to complain of injustice, it is as if
they sullenly confessed that God
was dead.—W. T. Stead in Contem¬
porary Review.
What with the questions of labor,
tariff, money, prohibition and wo¬
man, there promise to be issues en¬
ough in our elections before long.
The enfranchisement of woman was
the theme of the Rev. Annie Shaw,
of Boston, in a lecture before the
people of Cleveland the other day,
and the significance of the cause for
which she was speaking was shown
by her remarks. Among other things
she said: The world will never be
subdued until we go to work togeth¬
er. It took thirty-one years for ilfas*
saehusetts women to get a law pass¬
ed to own their own clothes. Before
that time they wore then husband’s
clothes. Then, again, it is only re¬
cently that a Massachusetts woman
rose to the dignity of being a person
I am sorry for you Ohio women. I
don,t know what you are; but our
supreme court has decided that wo
are persons. IPith responsibility,
then, must come power, and we de<
mand from you the power to uphold
our responsibility. We want no long¬
er to be placed on the same level
with baby boys, idiots and convicts.”

An Innocent Abroad
It doesn’t make any differnce wbat
is other name was, but he was a Con¬
gressman in Paris, and he had never
been there before. It is the custom
in the city when a stage is full to
put up the sign “Complet,” and no
more passengers can get in. Our
Congressman wanted to see every¬
thing, and as these labeled stages
would pass him he would try to stop
them, but the driver would shake his
head and drive on.
“You can’t get in any of those,”
said an English-speaking citizen who
had been watching his vain attempts.
“But I want one of them,” he per¬
sisted.
“Take one of the others, with few¬
er people in it. There’s plenty of
them,” urged the citizen.
“You go to thunder,” he said, an¬
grily. “I guss I know what I want.
I’m in this town to see the sight.—
Everybody seems to be Ijaiu’t going to
Complet, and I’m d— if going
there, too, if I have to wait a week
to catch a ’bus with room in it for
me. That’s the kind of an American
citizen I am, and don’t you forget
it.”—Washington Critic.

Aaron Burr once said that the
criminal who turned states evidence
was always the meanest man. No
doubt this is true. It is also true of
friends. Today we see people friends
and tomorrow one has fallen out
with other and now has only abuse
to heap upon his former friend. As
a rule the man who turns states evi¬
dence in friendship is the meaner of
the two.
