The ‘“Times’’, in a length:’ edi- togial, says such a dismissal of oase of the most important officials at the pesent grave juncturs jin Irish affairs, derian.ls most ample justification. The "‘West- minster Gazette’’” says that if che oeneral impression of the grounds tor his dismissal is correct, the step takea by the Government is ominous of further trouble ‘‘The journals which have al- ways represented the Unionist vie vs in Ireland,”’ adds ' the ‘“‘Westminster Ga- zette,”” ‘‘are agreed that tke dismissal of General Bryne is in the nature of a calamity and it is difficult to take any other view.”’ Stockhelm, Jan. 9th.—Swedish avthori- . ties declare that the undesirable cit zens, depcrted from the United States, w.ll not be allow transit through Sweden. =ll Oty AN IS NEW YOHK.

Nine years ago Miss Sarah Lindiey of Oszge, la., invested $2 and a1 smile with a tramp who stopped ai her uncle’s home for a meal. Recently she received notice tha the tramp had died and had left her $65 000 in Minnesota iand and cash. | Niss Lindley is twenty-four years old now and a clerk in a dvv goods Store in Osage. When she gave the tramp the $2 1ill and the smile she was only fifteen. “I’m going to buy me an automobile and keep right on working—provii . | den t get married,”’ says Miss Liauley. | Viss Lindley, then in uigh cchool, was | visicing at the home of ber uacle, G. O. | Lurde. near Nora Springs, la., when she made the investment. She is t e dau rhter of Ole Lindley of Osaze, and | she has four bruthers and six sisters. U e day, after dinner, an eideriy man, pooly clad, came to the door cf the farm- | hou:e and asked for something to eat. Mrs. Lurgle was busy, bnt it was the | rule of the Lunde home never to turn a mar away irom the door. So Sarah | Lin lley placed food on the talle and the trat:o was invited to sit down and eat. 1 B:fore he finished it began to rain. | At the end of the meal he filled his pipe | and s2t and smoked while waiting for | the shower to be over. Except for thank- ing Sarah for the meal, he had not spoken a word. THE INVESTMENT. Presently Sarah noticed tears in the old man’s eyes, and her sympathy was aroused. Finally she :sked him what the trouble was. "My wife,’” he ans\v.ered. "She deserted me three years ago. | have been hunting for her ever since. | loved her, but she did not love me. My » money gave out 1f I had a little money 1 might find her.”’ Sarah did not question him further. She did not ask his name. But when the shower was over and the old man knock- ed the ashes from his pipe and prepared . to leave, she said: ‘‘Wait a minute."’ ' Then she went into an adjoining room, got $2. from her purse, and returning handed the money to the old man. Again the old man’s eyes filled with tears. He mumbled his thanks and left. The voung girl watched him as he trudg- ed down the road. Next day tie rearest neighbour, half a mile down the road, stopped at the I.unde home and told about an old man who had come to the house the previous day and had asked the name of the young girl who lived in the Lunde home. He was told her name. Then he went off down the road. . PROPIT 864 008 That was the last Miss Lindley heard of the oild stanger uniil twc weeks ago. Then she received a letter from a firm of attorneys in Melisea, Minn. The let- ter informed her that John Brunsick, an aged farmer who had lived near Melisea ard had recently die , had left his farm and his property to her. The entire es- tate was worth about $65,000, the letter said. Furthermore, the letter said that Brun- sick had left her his property because she had lent him $2 and had given hLim a smile nine years previously, The let- ter had been addressed to her in car> of her uncie, Mr. Lurde, near Nora Springs and had been forwarded to Osage by the Lunae family. By this time Sarah Lindley had become ""Mis> Lindley’” and was. a clerk in a dry goods store. She had ferygotten all about the old man to whom she had given the $2. But the letter from the lawyers went on to say that in his will John Brunsick told of the incident. and tha: it was to vepay her for the money and for the smile that he had left her his money upon .his death. He had never succeeded in finding his wife, and had no relatives, the letter said.—Barbados Globe. : WANTED A Secondhand Upright Piane. Apply at this Office.
