The Canal Man.
A' banal man, unless there happens to be
a,memberof his family who can help him,
hires a man called "the hand." The men
A -,who run the boats corse from various posi-
-tions in life to become canal men. Some
have been farmers who own farms along
or near the canal and not a few have been
born and lived all their lives on a canal-
boat. Perhaps one of the most unusual
soaves is that of a well educated man, who
was, formerly a Methodist minister, but is
now and leas been for several years living
' , ,with ,his fsillblly on one of these boats and
diving mules for a living.
,:The majority, however, are rough and
ignorant, and the proverbial swearing is
to be heard in its most repulsive forms.
One notices frequently a lame or crippled
:Man in charge of a boat, since this is one
if 'the few positions in which a maimed
person Is able to earn a livelihood. A
canal man's family, if he bas one, lives
with him on the boat during the open
"feafon, and the rest of the year some live
en little 'plots of ground, often too small
lo be called farms, or perhaps they may
live in one of the larger towns near by.—

The Sergeant's Tribute.

Hearing something like stump oratory go-
ing on, the 'prince opened the door and
look d in. Every one rose.
"Olt, sit down' I'm sorry to disturb.
I darn say there's room for me to do the
"same," said the prince. "Pray, who was
'making a speech?"
All eyes were turned on a sergeant,
wbo$e very intelligent countenance looked,
,however, sorely puzzled when the nom-

EARTH BOUND.
Though from the body I am past,
To the earth I am bound fast.
Immortal voices call me low.
1 may not go,
But, like a bird out of the night.
Beat ever in on this warm light,
I heard an angel say,
"Come away l"
I answered, "Let me bide
Where I have died,
Near to the blowing grass and sun,
Where I have -run,"
.And then I said:
Tis dreary to be dead
And watch the budding lane
And hear the rain,
To pine about the green
And haunt the sheen!
Olt, rare, rare,
Are human faces, human hair!"
Spirit nm 1, but cannot yet
Go from these ancient pastures wet.
Though from the body I am past,
To the earth I am bound fast.

THE PROAIPTI+,'111.
He was only a prompter in one of the lit-
tle German theaters which one finds in up
stairs halls and rickety places of amuse-
ment along Third avenue in New York.
If anyone had told him five years before
he began his oareor by prompting a com-
pany of German comedians in "Die Fle-
dermaus" that he should have to earn his
bread and butter in sueh a lowly way he
would have thrown brinks at him.
A prompter' Ho started out in life as
a first lieutenant in a regiment of Prussian
cheveaux-logers. With influence which
his family had at its command he might
have become a general, when the unfor-
tunate outcome of a duel drove him from
home to foreign shores. A woman had
been the cause of it—a cold, heartless no-
quette, who threw him aside as she would
castoff an old glove when he had no lon-
ger position and the expectation of wealth.
In New York he had tried to obtain a
position commensurate with his social
standing and his education. Like thou-
sands of others, he failed. From a waiter
in a Bowery chophouse he became a come-
dian in a shack of a playhouse, where the
price of admission was 20 cents on Satur-
days and Sundays and 6 cents during the
rest of the week. Fate had been unkind
to him by throwing him into the clutches
of a rascally manager, who was always in
arrears with the salaries, that at best were
small and insufficient for anything beyond
the merest necessities. A few weeks suf-
ficed to cure him of the footlight fever,
and the erstwhile lieutenant gladly accept-
ed the offltr of tti steady job a prompter in
a little theater a few shades better than
the elle he had just left,
!r_�-_
The picijrrt6I„or ran an eating house in
conjunction with his temple of the muses
and was always prompt in the payment
of bis dues. Hans Karl Lernkin became a
prompter, and because he did not have to
hunger and thirst any longer, eating his
meals at his employer's table, he remained
a prompter all his life. It isn't very strange
that the terrible shock to his brilliant ex-
pectations should have crushed all the
spirit out of hhn. The meager comforts
of his existence satisfied him. If he had
any ambitions to soar beyond the narrow
confines of his box nobody ever heard of
them—yes, ono.
She was a woman of course. Like him-
self, she had come from the fatherland.
She was a child prodigy in the old coun-
try, and when she grew older some man-
ager picked her up and brought her to
America. The company, of which she
was the leading woman, became stranded
on a barn storming tour in Canada, and
naturally the girl drifted to New York.
Her first metropolitan engagement was ob-
tained in the little house in which Lomkin
did the prompting. The girl was young
and pretty and might have been a sister to
the woman who had forsaken the poor
prompter in his trouble, so strong was her
resemblance to that highborn lady who
was his first love. At (first Karl was in-
terested; then he abhorred her for that
uncanny likeness, and then, poor fellow,
he fell head over heels in love with her.
She returned his love in a way—her way
—which was shallow and insincere. Karl
was poor; others who paid homage at her
shrine were well provided with this world's
goods. She needed their money for her
advancement, and she also needed Karl's
good will while she played in the little
German company in the Third avenue
playhouse.
The prompter watched over her with the
fidelity of a dog. He carried her basket
with the togs back and forth between her
home and the theater, he took her home
at night and he discreetly got out of the
way when others more favored sought to
entertain her.
It was a sorry lovemaking on his part—a
sort of comfortable exchange of affections
as far as the -woman was concerned. She
had promised to marry him at the end of
the season, and that satisfied the poor fel-
low and filled him with happiness, which
he never expected to feel again. He had
been frugal and economical and saved a
little out of his scanty earnings. As soon
as they were married he would go into
some business and earn a fortune for her.
Yes, there was the new incentive that
would bind him to life with stronger links
than heretofore.
The season neared its end, and Karl's
happiness grew in proportion. Magda be-
came more loving and thoughtful of her
betrothed's feelings, and he had not a mo-
ment's doubt that she was faithful to him.
Ono day he was called away from his usual
haunts by a letter frotn his home, wherein
he received the welcome information that
a distant relative had died and left him a
contfurtahlo bequest. Ho had no time to
emu mu:dente this stroke of good luck,
which clone at such an opportune time, to
his sweetheart, but hastened off to bo
identified with sonic lawyer and obtain a
power of attorney to send abroad that the
nemey might he collected for him.
13eing unacquainted with the people and
methods of so largo a city at New York, it
took young Lonikin many hours before he
accomplished his purpose. When every-
thing was arranged satisfactorily he set
out for home. On the way he would call
at Magda's home and communicate to her
the happy news. Ho pictured to himself
their wedding, their happy life in some
pretty pottage in Harlem or across the riv-
er on Hoboken heights. Way into the fu-
ture the young man sent his dreams, and
all seemed fair and bright once more.
When ho arrived at Magda's lodgings,
there was no response to his repeated
knocks. Sho may be out, he said to him-
self, and proceeded to make himself com-
fortable on the stairs to await her coming.
He might have boon sitting in the shadow
of the stairway for an hour or more, lost
in idle thoughts, when the front door was
thrown open and Magda's landlady en-
tered,
"You, Mr. Lemkin?" she acid. "I did
not expect you till tomorrow. Miss Magda
thought you might come then, and in that
ease she told me to give you this note "
Tho woman took from the pocket of her
apron a pru1pled letter, which she handed
tw Irerukin. "Rhe left early this morn-
ing," she added; "quite early."
Lemkin paid no heed to the wojnan's
remark, whioh,he did nob understand. A
letter from Magda to him, whose hand-
writing he had never seen, was suoh an
unusual thing that it stunned him. With
trembling fingers the poor fellow tore open
the envelope. He did not have far to read
before he understood that Magda bad left
him on the eve of their wedding. "I am
ambitious, " she wrote, "and I think I can
get along better without you. You are
nothing but a poor prompter, and that is
probably all you ever will be. I love you
dearly, but I love my future better. For-
give me."
The courage of the eoldler, the palling
for which he had been bred, came to hie
rescue. "I am sorry I missed seeing her,"
he said to the landlady, "before she left.
But I can write to her. She left me her
address in this letter."
It was a falsehood which he spoke with
stern lips, because he did not want to be•
tray to the old woman that he had been
jilted. Then he went away, resumed his
duties at the theater that night, and an-
swered cheerily all questions about Magda,
who had secured a release for the last few
days of Ass term.
Years Nate passed since then. The poor
prompter is a prompter still, but no longer
in a little obscure theater on Third av-
enue. He has moved along with the play-
houses to better quarters and receives a
comfortable salary from a first class man-
ager, whose assistant be is, while he still
follows his calling as prompter.
Karl Lernkin has not aged much, and if
there is any change in biro it is for the
better. He wears better clothes than he
used to, and his face always has a happy
smile. Every night he is accompanied to
the theater by a little old lady. when he
has accompanied her to a scat in the audi-
torium, he goes back to his prompt box,
and when the play is over the old lady
waits for him until ho cones to fetch her.
Then the two trudge horse together, and
on the way they always talk. They seotn
to have so much to say to each other.
Maybe because they have to make up for
lost time,
The little old woman is Karl's wife, and
she is the sante Magda who once so basely
jilted him. One day five years ago, when
Lernkin camp to the theater, the manager
said to him:
'I have engaged a new dresser, Karl.
Sho 1s an old woman, and I want you to
assist her all you can if she should need
your help. I think she'll suit us better
than that frivolous young thing we last
had, who was alwagei tate and never
around when she was wall±ed."
io Karl oil his we. to the prompt be:
stopped to inquire for the new dressing
woman. Tjlq loading lady took him to
her room, where the pronpter came face
to face with Magda, old and wrinkled
now, for 30 years had passed since be has
seen her last.
What use to speak of their joy? What
use to relate Karl's tender condoning of
all that lay between that day and now? A
few weeks later they wore married, and if
love can make the old young and wipe out
from their memories the bitter past, Karl
has found at last what seemed to have for-
ever slipped from his grasp.—St. Louis

THE CLINTON NEW ERA
BUYING CANARIES.
The ohmage That (lame Over a Young
Diplomat's Fancy.
One of our Washington bird merchants
tells a good story to illustrate the waver-
ing course of young love's fitful fever.
Something over a year ago a well young
diplomat, wearing a trim little white top-
coat over his dress suit, Dame rushing into
the store one night and asked to see the
canaries.
"I weesh you would be so verra kind to
show me ze canary—ze verra fines' you
haf."
A number of the little wooden cages
were set out before him, and he looked at
bird after bird, but did not seem to find
what he wanted.
"I vill tell you why I want ze canary,"
he said at length. "I haf met a verra lofty
young lady. She ees beautiful. She ees
verra fine. I vill gif her zo canary—ze
verra fines' you hat. How much ees zat
canary?"
"The price of that canary," ettlid the bird
store roan, "Is $6."
"Oh, zat ees not enough! I want se
vorra fines' canary you haf." •
The dealer went again to the shelf where
he kept his stock of yellow songsters and
brought out a bird the price of which on
ordinary occasions was the same as that of
the rest. He would have been glad any
time to get a $5 bill for. him.
"There," he said, "is an exceptionally
good singer. That is a trained bird. The
price is $15,"
"Oh, zat ees ze bird' Now ze cage."
He bought a $10 nage, and, leaving di-
rections whore the bird and the Dago wire
to be sent, rushed out as fast as he came,
eyideutly thoroughly satisfied with his
purchase.
A few days ago the same young man
came into the store and again asked for e
canary.
The dealer's eyes snapped. He saw an-
other chance to sell a $15 bird in a $10
nage.
He briskly set out the finest canaries he
had and gave stiff prices on them. But
the diplomat didn't warm up a bit. He
shrugged his shoulders and kept saying:
"Too much! Too much!"
Finally he threw up his hands and ex-
postulated:
"Ze price ees too high. Haf you a cheap-
er bird? Zis canary ees not for a beautiful
young lady. I am married now, and a $8
bird will do."
Tho dealer made the best of the situation
and sold him a $3 bird' and a $2 cage, and
he trotted off seemingly as happy as he
was a year ago after paying flve times al
much for the same thing.—Washington

A Prominent Physician. •
A prominent New York phye!olen
in discussing the merits of Ripens
Tabules with a brother M. D. said :
" Several years ago I asserted that
if one wished to become a philan-
thopist, and do a beneficent deed—
one that would help the whole hu-
man race—nothing could be better
than to procure the Roosevelt Hos-
pital prescription, which is the bash
of the Ripanr Tabula, and cause it to
be put up in the form of a ketchup
and distributed among the poor.
Sales Increasing.
The largest retail drug stor. in
America is that of Hegeman & Co.
on Broadway in New York City.
A reporter who went there to learn
how Ripans Tab-
ules were selling
bought a fair cent
carton and asked:
" Do you have
much call for
these?"
He was referred
to a gentleman who
proved to be the
head of the depart-
ment. He said : • t .,
" The sale of Ripens Tabulee is
constant and is increasing, due
especially to the influential character
of the testimonials in the daily press,
and growing out of these, through
the recommendation o friend to
friend. Satisfaction with them is
very general. When once they are
begun I notice that a permanent
customer for them is made. This, 1
believe, is through theffrintrinsio
merit, which proves the bona fide
oharaoter of the advertising. I think
them specially useful in the general
Na of stomach troubles."
An Elderly Lady.
44 An elderly lady Tiring at Fordham
Heights, a part of New York City,
and who was known to be a warm
advocate of Ripens Tabules for any
case of liver trouble or indigestion,
said to s reporter who visited her for
the purpose of learning the particu-
lars of her ease : " I had always
employed a physician and did so on
the last occasion I had for one, but
at that time obtained no beneficial
results. I had never had any faith
in patent medioinee, but having seen
Rfpane Tabules recommended very
highly in the New York Herold con-
cluded to give thorn a trial, and
found theywere just what my case
demandeI have never employed
a physician since, and that means a
saving of $2 a call.
.A. dollar's worth of
Ripane Tabbies
lasts me a month,
and I would not be
without them now
if it were my last
dollar." )At the
time of this inter-
view there were
present two daugh-
ters who specially
objected to their mother giving a
teetimonial which should parade her
name in the newspapers, but4o do
this the elder lady argued : "Th;,,*e
may be other cases just like Mine,
and I am sure I take great pleasure
in recommending the Tabules to a y
