Intangibles disappeared; whilo the at ranger betook himself to the (uecn'd palace, where, us soon a the proper hour arrived, lie re quested an audience. When he saw the ueen, he per reivwd tl a she was very pale and that Uer choek.s bore traces of re---Dt tear. "Voiiare liack in good time," she said to him, "but it makes very little difference whether you liaie succeeded m vour mi-sion on not. There is no longer any muse - UUi. There ha been a irreat rob - bery. ami the thieves have carried off the whole of the vast and valua ble, collection which I have been so Jong in making." "I know of that affair," said the xtrariger," and 1 have already placed in your museum-building the collection which I have obtained. If your Majcaty pleases, I shall be glad to have you look at it. It may. in home degree, compensate for that which has been stolen." "Compensate!" cried the (ueeii. "Nothing can compensate for it; I do not even wish to see w hat you have brought." "Ho that as your Majesty pleases," aid the stranger; "but 1 will b,- so bold as to say that I have great Iioj.es that the collection which I have obtained will intcrent the peo ple. Will your majesty graciously allow them to see it?" "I have no objections to that." said the (ueeu; "and indeed I shall be very giad if they can be made to U interested in the museum. I will give orders that the prisons be open ed, so that everybody can go to see what you have brought; and those who shall be interested in it may re turn to their homes. 1 did not re lease my obstinate subjects when the museum was robbed, because their fault then was just as great as it was before; and it would not be right that they should profit by my loss " "The (Queen's proclamation was made, and for several days the mu seum was crowded with people inov- ug irom morning nil night through ,i oi siuueu auimais, onus, ami nsnes; rare aim nruiiant lustjcis; mineral ami vegetable curi- osities; beautiful works of art; and all the strange, valuable, and in structive objects which hid 1 een brought from the interminable vanlu j of the magician Alfraretlj. The' Queen's officers, who had been sent j to observe whether or not the peo- pie were interested, were in not doubt upon this point. Every eye! sparkled with delight, for every one j found something which was the" very j thing he wished to see: and in th I throng was the hermit's pupil.s tand- ' .. r l.""y wore a large little minows to the rt im, .....i I spears used in capturing whales. No one went back to prison, and the city was full of reunited house holds and happy homes. On the morning of the fourth day, a grand I procession of citizens came to the ! palace to express to the tueen their j delight and appreciation of her mu-' seum. The great happiness of her j subjects could not but please the) yueen. She called the stranger to! tier, and said to him: leu me how you came to know what it was that would interest un people." . : "I asked them," said the stranger. "That is to say, I arranged that they should be asked." "That was well done said the Queen; "but it is a great pity that my long labors in their behalf should have been lost. For many years I have been a collector of buttons and button-holes; and there was noth ing valuable or rare in the line of my studies of wnich I had not an original Specimen or a fac-simile. Sly agents brought me fio:n foreign lands, even from the most distant islands of the sea, buttons and but holea of every kind; those of pre- i eiousmeiaisano rare gems, which could not be obtained, were copied in gilt and glass. There was not a duplicate specimen in the whole col lection; only one of each kind; noth ing repeated. Never before was such a museum. With all my pow er I strove to educate my people up to a love of buttons and button holes; but, with the exception of a few tailors and seamstresses, no body took the slightest interest in what I had provided for their bene fit. I am glad that my people are happy, but I cannot restrain a sigh for the failure of my efforts " "The longer your Majesty lives," said the stranger, "the better will you understand that we cannot make other people like a thing simply be cause we like it ourselves." "Stranger," said the Queen, gaz ing upon hira with admiration, "are you a sing, in disguise I" "I am," he replied, "I thought I perceived it," said the Queen, "and I wish to add that I believe you are far better able to govern this kingdom than I am. If you choose, I will resign it to you." "Not so, your majesty," said the other; "I would not deprive your Majesty of your royal position, but I would be happy to share it with you." "That will answer very well," said the Queen. And turning to an at tendant she gaye orders that prep- I aration-i hhould b- made for their I marriag on the following Jv.

The New York World, of July Gth. in an editorial upon the repeal of the Sherman Act, says: "It will be time enough to decide what to do after the repeal of the Sherman Act when that law shall have been repealed. 'First catch your hare.'" This paragraph quoted above is indeed significant. "First catch your hare means that after the act has been repealed those who voted for it unconditionally will ba at the mercy of the gold sharks. This cunningly devised scheme is strikingly illus" trated in the story of the "Spider and the Fly." It is a trap set to catch those who favor the free coinage of silver. Let the repeal be made un conditionally, and a gold basis, which means rum to agricultural interests, W1" be established for this country. The World gives away the secret of the gold bugs by saving: "When that is done and the need of the treasury and of business become clear under the removal of the dis turbing cause, it will be time enough to readjust our monetary system In harmony with that of the "civilized world."

Mr. Murat Halstead, commenting on the change of Mr. Cleveland since the election, says: "The President has held out a hand to the Republicans to be shaken on the understanding that if help can be found in the Republican par ty to carry the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law there will be no hurry to repeal the McKinley law, for after all the 'only menace' of our welfare is not protection or reciproc ity but the paying of gold for silver and the meddlesomeness of the silver cranks V jf.

I have no doubt that in free trade England today, or a. few weeks ago, when at Trafalgar Square, they marched, hundreds of thousands of poor people, bare-footed, asking for employment,. ;isking for bread, I have no bouht that thcj,e were Col onel Wittersons in that country ready to say to them: "Yo'. are all Britons; you are all workingmen; i there is noclass distinction; there can i be none under the laws of Great Brit am. 1 have no doubt that they said that, and I have no doubt that ; Carnegie did clown at Homestead, i and I have no doubt that over here in the Lehigh valley they say to the people over there: "Wc are all American citizens and we are all woi kingmen."

Appiuusc "There are no class distinctions in this country and can be none, and the bell tower and hiittreiS of the Democratic doctrine is that there can ha no distinctions ill this countrv," says CoioikI Wat tersou. It reminds me of what the!

Cut it is a sad fact that Black Fri.lay is a dav with y.'hir !i ih great masses of our people, aio ollly too fu- niilii:r. One of t lie direst curses of our age is the want of money. I mean want. 1 do not mean a respectable poverty. I mean a want that cuts. One of the pliief causes of the poverty of our age is un questionably found in the results of tho day of darkiu-ss and panic in the tin.nu cial world. This black Friday is not a thing that comes by chance. It is the evidence of a vital disease a disease that errikes to t!w yeiy i-enrt ot ihi body politic. The old prophet told us that the stars in their courses fought agaiust Islsera. ftisera was the captain of the hosts of Jubin, the oppressor of Israel. He encT.mped in the plains with his mag nificent army, preparing to make Ms final assault, i'.ut the river rose and overwhelmed his chariots, and a woman sev ,8isera, driving a nail through his sleeping head. The river did the work that is to nay, the prophet would teach us that theforccH of vat nre are in league with the eternal eLnciplcs of truth and fWtitpy.Ws. nd together tLcy are working out the salvation of the world. Evil by its own nature exhausts and destroys itself. Good increases and must ultimately triumph. Its principle is germinal. Individuals, principle, sys tems that clash with truth and right, have gone down and must continue to po down. lt us P'ft high above our heads as a gleaming lantern these facts and explore the depths of this Black Friday of poverty, mid we will find borh the cause of our failures and the promise of something better. We touch the heart of this difficulty when we ask the question, Ct; 3 true Christian, as a Christian, be a successful business mar; of today? If not, then we will find in the clash of the principles of the modern commercial world with Christianity the true cause for the days of eomiusrcial darkness. To get at the truth of tlie matter we must have a basis of comparison. We ask therefore: First Whr.t is it to be a true Chris U..1.;' Christianity means sacrifice. If you would understand a principle of Chris tianity, you must look to the life of Christ in th.3 concrete. His life was thrown away. It was lost. It was a dismal failure.

The life a Stanley who explore-; ;hu darkness of the world by this standard is a failure. The. lifo of a. Washington who, would mfier in hunger aud cold is necessarily a failure judged by buch standard:'), .Such is tho contrast between a success ful Christianity and successful business today. There cannot be a moment' questioning of the fact that the. business of today is in conflict with eternal truth and righteousness. So much tho worse for business, Tho stars in their courses fought against Sisera. Tho forces of nature are in league with the eternal forces of truth and right. The business which yiclatea the fundamentals of right in the process of its development must have f neces sity its Black Fridays, and the Black Fridays are the necessary developments of the clash with righteousness. These days of panio are the natural result of long continued violations of justice. Jf they did not come, law wo.uld pejiso to te law, and chaos would reign. The fact that they come is an indication that there is a God of right and truth who ia guid ing above all th beenes of conflict and coufufiion. The man who violates truth and justice has thrown his puny body against the very stars of faeavou. lie has throTVTi his prostrate form 1efore Uod's great wheel of the universe, and he will be ground to powder. Tdie nation that yiolat-s fundamental right must suffer, and suffer iu the very ways in which it has wrought the violation. The Christian way of trade may not be an easy waj-; it is c.e.rUtuly not a pop nlar way u'iay; lt never has been. But Cliristianity is the mightiest power on earth today. It is the one. power that dominates politics, trade, nations. It is the power that through the ages has righted a thousand wrongs that eeeraed beyond remedy. Kingdoms, empires, bo- cieties apparently invincible have per ished at its touch. We stand upon the pinnacle of the nineteenth century and look back with increasing amazement at this procession of dead, societies and dead peoples and dead nations who have died because they clashed with the eternal forces of truth and of righteousness, At times we have an apparent triumph or wrong, it is only apparent. It is but the beginning of the end. lien have de clared that it is impossible to erist in the business world and live on Christian principles. Men have declared that all men are liars in the business world. A man said to me a short time atro that all business men are chronic and incurable liars. Ue spoke from the point of view of the money market and the money broker. He declared that men would take advantage of one another whenever they had the opportunity. He declared that all of them would tell a lie to make money; that honor and truth are not element s that are considered in the mod ern business world. This assertion is entirely too broad ea our mend would declare that all men are liars. From this point of view it is true, but there is such a thin- as mirage. A man in the arctio seas pKiks out over the watw and sees a ship ap proach with her keel in the air. He can -- v,. uj. wjumana; he own see me vessel as it tacks in its course.
