Child, of Phtladelph ia, is synonymous with be nevolence. Certainly no one who has ver looked on the l-enign, and, as it were, Pickwickian face of the proprietor f the Public Ledger needs to lie told that its owner finds a positive pleasure in acts of philanthropy. Many an anecdote illustrative of his bfe-hearied- ness has gone the rounds of the news papers, but one which the writer chan ced to hear the other night has never lieen preserved in type. On of the editors of a certain great New York daily wa the beneficiary of this partic .ular kindness of Mr. Childs, and he it is who tells the story: ' "Not less than ten and nofc more th:i a hundred years ago," he said, "1 found myself on my uppers in Hie city of Brotherly love. 1 had come ou from a Southern city in hope of teaching Philadelphia newspaper men their business, but somehow they didn't seem to know a good thing when they saw it. and I found the demand for journalist teachers extremely hunted. Well,! heard of Mr. Child's opeu-heartedness, and, in sheer desperation, I made up my mind to go to him and ask for a loan. Though he had, of course never heard of me, I was promptly ushered into his office. He looked me over in that calm, benignant fashion of his, and asked what he could do for me. I bluntly told him that I had come to Philadelphia in search of work, hadn't found it, was without a dollar in my pocket and wanted to see if lie wouldn't help me. "What do you want me to do for you. young?' he quickly asked. " 'I want you to lend rae 100 if you will." I frankly told him, half surprised at my own temerity, "but I can't give you any better seen ri y than my own note." "He studied my face for a moment, apparently concluded that it was an honest one, gave some-directions to an office boy, and, in a minute, placed a check for $100 in my hand.

He passed that $100 along long ago, and he said, in telling the storv the other night, that it had hrni urn r c heer to tour uniorinuaie Tom Crase's Career. I 8TORY THAT' ILLUSTRATES THE CPS AXI). DOWNS OF WESTERN LIFE. The historv of the three millionaire bankers of Helena,. Mon., Thomas Cruse, illustrates the ups and downs of Western life and sets in strongcon trast the two extremes of absolute, groveling proverty and extraordinary affluences. "Six years ago Tom Cruse," says Thomas M. Long, "was only a common, ordinary laborer, a prospector and a miner. He had spent almost his last nickel, was out of luck, and being out of money, it naturally follows he had m . i t v s i very tew inenas. iiicieea ne was so poor that I well remember the day when he wos actually refused credit for a fity-M)und sack of flour. He did odd jobs about town anything so long as he turned on honest dollar One day he took a tramp into the r. o n'a : s When h ; came back to town he astonished everybody by re porting the discovery of what has: since turned out tube one of the richest silver mines in Montana. tie pre empted the place and made eyerythn g solid in his own name. llus miiu was the famous Drum Lummotid in the mountains near Maysvillc, twent one miles from Helena. A syndicate of capitalists, hearing of this great find, went out to investigate it. The result far surpassed even their expecta tions, and on their way back to town they sought old man Cruse. Would he sell the mine? Yes. How much? Five hundred thousand dollars sjot cash. That was too much, they thought Well. gentlemen, if you think it is too much, don't take it,' said Cruse. This offer is good until noon, but no longer. I'lt have anoth er rise on it after that. They thought he was bluffing. The next day, after further investigation, they came back to Cruse. They told the old man they were ready to pay the $500,000 and for him to draw up the papers. lMy price to-day is $1,000,000, boys,' aid Cruse. Of course there was no ileal possible under the circumstances. Cruse could get all the capital he want ed to work his mine. Pefore three months had passed he had nailed out $200,000 worth of ore and there was still unlimited quantities millions, in Fact in sight. the syndicate came hack to 1 i i in nnd actually paid over $1,000,000 for a two-third interest in the Drum Lummond. "Since that time Cruse has bought other mines, the Iron Mountain, for instance, in the Cceur d'Alene region, and others.

Ingersoll's at tack on the Bible, answers him thus: "1 presume that Mr. Ingersoll could easily write the first, few books of the Bible but instead of condemning the whole book; suppose he or some of his gifled admirers write for us something that will equal the Book of Job, that will rival the Psalms of David, or that will surpass the proverbs ot Solomon. When this is done, perhaps we will be contented to follow this blind leader of the blind, this incosisteut man who preaches temperi.nee oneway and s ?nds whiskey as a precious gift to his friends the nex. This "Bull of the o sis," whose timorous soul compels him to go through life declaring that there is no God, much as the schoolboy goes through a graveyard at night and whistles to keep up his courage. It is i singular fact that all the best-raen4 over this freak of natj i the world has known, that the best educated men that have walked the earth, and the men who have swayed the destinies of nations, that have been honored by their fellow men, that have 1 unsullied and undyiug memories, are men that have read the Bible and have profited by its counsels." m - Fastidious Snakes The quickest thing next to electricity is a snake. Well-behaved serpents are always interesting. But tor the uuforturiiate information that one gave to Miss Eve before she eloped with Adam when he was heard gar dener of a ranch there would be snakes in more respectable families than there are to-day. A Cleveland snake pro fessor says that hissing pythons and cobras will eat at any time except when they are blinded shedding their skin. They won't touch anything then. Another queer thing about them is that they worf't eat anything but white ani mals. Wait; I'll show you," and taking a young rabbit out of its cage he placed it in the box with the snake. They did not move for about a min ute. Then one of the pythoms raised its head and fastened its eyes upon bunny. The rabbit's ears dropped, its eyes closed, and it began to tremble. All at once the snake shot forward, and seizing it by the back of its neck coiled itself around it and began crush ing out its life; then turning it over began to swallow it. The python's head under ordinary circumstauces was not larger than a thumb-joint on a man's hand, yet when it seized the rabbit its jaws became dislocnted in such a way that it was sbhHo start the rabbit's head into its mouth. Then by a,..oeeuliar motion it began slowly to fi iioniv times the nimn .J, v j - ... -1, until finally bunny s mini legs aurp- pcared down the python s uioutn. "That supper will last him a couple of weeks" said the showman, as he picked the snake up. i!:i'm lly alarmeil.- Oth. Jiopeful view, and In natural gas.
