CUKHEN f COMMENT.
Thtt "fifty per cent of flit"
doei not seem to impair tbe stiver
collart we own. This miy prove a
valuab'e lesson after all. Augusta

It will be observed that Pres
ident McrCinley is appointing no
ngroes to Federil office s In Ohio,
but is reserving such favors for tbe
Southern States. In the meantime.
however, the Ohio negroes are kick
op quite a dast because they are not
faring as well asiheir African breth-
ern in this section of tbe country.

If the temporary advance in
the price of wheat on account of

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.

"Why. -r." nM the rvtirf-d burglar,
"I g"4 rausiht once In tho very simplest
enrt of way. I stepped over a doors! 11 In
to room ana night raising my foot rather
high, as I always did. whether I had on
rubber shoes or not. ao as not lo scrape my
fo.4 on the d.xirsMl and set It down
smooth and cn.y InxSile. But the Instant
I bore my wHaht on that foot tbe floor
under It gava Jtlut a little bit. lint it waa
pk-nty.
"I don't soppn-ie I think any quicker
thnn rkrtrlolty. but I or-rtnlnly knew what
was coming before I heard tbe sound of
tbe bril. Still, the bell waa In the next
room. and. of rotime. It took a little time,
n-me small frnctlon of a second, for the
sound to gut where I waa. There waa a
bmad pUt n-t Into the floor just Inside
tho dour and co-rcrr-d with the carpet.
Hi-m-Miro on that plate oonnerted some
rlrclrlo wires and set a bell ringing.
"Will. I didn't stand there any longer
than I could help. I jumped back and
started alonx the hall on the way out. To
gvt out I hud to go past the door of tho
room where the hell waa ringing. Just
aa I got to It tin-re waa a man on roe bounc

get a few ttirni of clothesline round me,
thai soma of ika folka had brought up.
"Of eooras the most Important thing
about all Ibis waa tbe time 11 eoet me, but
It waa Interesting about tba eJeotrloal ap
paratus. You know, I'd been aarpriaad,
evaa thea, to bear the ball ring In another
roota Instead of In tbe aame room where
the plate waa. I should have thought If
a 07 body wanted a contraption of that aort
In bla owo mnm he'd have wanted the bell
there loo. Hut It seema It wasn't a bur
glar alarm at all. They had a young atm
there that waa a somnambulist; need to
get np and walk around In bla sleep
nlgbta. and they didn't always bear him,
and they wanted to. Ho they pat this
plant In, ao that be oouldnt get oat of bia

RETRIEVED.
"Mr WUl la in i, one moment, please.
"Whit la if, airf"
"Sir. Willlama" with a alight oough
"wo bate decided, owing to niattera ot
wblcb you are probably aa well aware aa
we, tbi.t are at ill not need you nny longer.
Aa aoon ai you can eocure employment
elsewhere we iliall expect you to resign

"I really don't don't understand yon."
waa tbe reply. "Ha4e you discovered any
errors In the booki?"
"Kor.e at all none at all. Wt, would
be perfectly willing to Indorse a certificate
of your lionenty and proficiency na an ac
countant. W bat I refer to U en entirely
diffen t.t thing.
"The fact in, we have found that you
are heavily Indebted Invnrlons portaof the
city, much more than wo titKire anyone
in our employ to bo. Several flrmg where
you havo considerable accounts standing
for some tlma have applied to ua to aecure
them. This we cannot do.
"I think that this thing baa haa been
exaggerated," stAuiinered the young inun
"Hut as you may have other roa sons for
tvi-hing to discharge ibe I will go at
once. " -
And then Paul Williams, feeling, as
peti le alwuysi do who h;ive met with the
penalty of their Indiscretion, that he bod
been dealt with unjustly, walked away
Almost unconsciously he bent bis steps
toward a distant hill, whereon-lay the city
cemetery, and hilf an hour later be wns
walking up the hill with long, sweeping
stride, totally Indifferent to tho fact that
the dust of the road was destroying the.
follfh of hi fhnply shoes, which that
ery luomii'K Lo had put on witb so much
can.
1 nul Williams wns a man of five and
twenty, and fur four years had held the
position from which hu bud now been so
sudi nly dixmjssid.
Though he had no habits which could
havo Um ctillid really had,. ho unfortu
nately jKJssefsed truitsuf character which
k pt him frum succeeding as his friends
hud just rcn : i:im to expect. Ho wns one of
the members of n band of young men who,
though not dissipated, had fvn;id the
dar ai raus l:ul It f spendiDg money U3
fast us or faster than they earned it.
Somo two years before, he lmd liegnn to
pny his utti'iiiions to n young lady, who
was now his betrothed, and wishing most
of nil not to p. i pear mean in the eyes of
the woman he luved he h;id often mado
presents and si lit inone-y upon her when
sho would huo respected him just as
much, perhaps more, if ho had kept his
purw cloned.
The joung man might not havo come to
grief had it not been for another habit
more eeluctlve and infinitely mere dan
gerous than all the others tho pructic-c of
running into debt heedlessly and without
thought. Ii hud always Iwu a failing
with him, but within a year it had grown
stronger than ever.
All the-sc things prese nted themselves to
Paul Williams in their true light for the
first time as ho sat alonu in the silent cem
etery. After a tiuio he cume to feel that
the action of his employers, harsh us it
might seem, was not without cause.
Kirst of nil, ho would draw what money
he had in the bunk and as far as possible
pay what money he owed, und then ho
would go away from -lohnsoit and try to
Duel rook tiling to do whicii would enable
him to iay the rest.
Two h.mrs later Paul Williams sat in
his room wiih a !H'kiip'nt bills, on cucli
of which was tho ominous letters " Dr. :'

Lank notes. All tehl, ho was in debt ?.in.
