Since the passage o f the state care act, there has been g con tinual demand by tbe counties that all the expenses of their indigent insane be paid ont of the state funds. Tbe attor ney general in his opinion says that each county must pay the expense of properly clothing the patient for transportation, and must also pay for the medical exami nation of patients. The recent extension of the Delaware and Hudson branch to Ausable Forks from Plattsburgh has proyed such a pay ing investment tbat'^s still further exten sion to Lake Placid via Upper Jay is under consideration. The distance Is twenty- three miles. This would be the shortest route to Lake Placid from New York, and would secure the summer travel to and from the Ausable valley, Keene val ley and Lake Placid, besides ai large amouijt o f freight, pulp wood, lumber etc. Tbe D. Sc, H. is making most commend able efforts to provide safe and convenient transportation for summer travelers aqd persons in search of health, audit is hoped tbe extension of tbe Adirondack railroad into tbe northern wildorness may be secured the coming season. There is no good reason for the opposition of the state land board of any other state au thorities, to the proposed extension. The state can p rotect the Adirondacks all the better for having a railroad Into tbe woods, and as for travelers, they would much prefer to ride fifty miles into tbe wilderness in a palace car than on a buck- boai d wagon.

PAUL’S AWAKENING. 3,” with another slight cough, “ wa have decided, owing to m at ters of which you are probably as well aware as we, that wo will not need you ony longer. As soon as you can secure eniploymont elsewhere wc shall expect you to resign your position with us.’’ “ I really don’t—don’t understand you,’’ was tho reply, ‘’Have you discovered any errors In tho booksf” “ None a t all—none a t all. Wo would bo perfectly willing to Indorso a certificate of your honeity and proficiency as an ac countant. W hat I refer to is an entirely different thing. “ Tho fact is, we have found th a t you aro heavily indebted in various parts of the city, much more than we desire any one In our employ to be. Several Anns w h ere you have considerable accounts standing for some time have applied to us to secure them. This we cannot do.’’ “ 1 think that this thing has—has been exaggerated, ” stammered the young man. “ B n tas you may have other reasons for wishing to diaoharge me I will go a t once. ’’ And then Paul Williams, felling, as people always do who have met with the penalty of their Indiscretion, th a t be had been dealt with unjustly, walked away. Almost unoonscionsly he bent bis steps toward a distant bill, whereon lay the city cemetery, and half an hour later he was vralklng up tho hill with long, sweeping strides, totally Indifferent to the fact that the dust of the road was destroying the polish of h is shapely shoes which that very m etning ho had put on with so much Paul Williams was a man of five and twenty, and for four years h ad held tho position from which lie had now lieen so suddenly dismissed. Though ho had no habits wb.loh could have boon called really bad, ho u nfortu nately possessed traits of character which kept him from succeeding as his friends had Just reasons to expect. He was one of the members of a band of young men who, though not dissipated, had formed tho dangerous habit of spending money as fast or faster than they earned it. Some two years before he had begun to pay his attentions to a young lady, who woa now his betrothed, and wishing most of all not to appear mean in tbe eyes of the woman he loved he had often made pres ents and spent money upon her when she would have respected him Just as much, perhaps more, if he had kept his ptirsc closed. The young man might n o t have come to grief bad it not been for another habit more seductive and infinitely more dan gerous than all the others—tho practice of running into debt heedlessly and without thought. It had always been a failing With him, but within a y ear I t had grown stronger than ever. All those tilings presented tbomaolvei to Paul Williams in their trueTight for tho first tlmo as ho sat alone in tbe silent cemetery. After a time becam e to feel that the action of his employees, harsh as it might scorn, was not without cause. First of all he would draw w hat money he had In the bank, and as far as possible pay what money he owed, and then be would go away from Johnsport and try to Ind something lio do which would enablo lim to pay the rest. Two hours later Paul Williams sat in its room with a package of bills. out on tho street, and vlf creditors paid what he could, until not a dollar remained in his pocket. “ P a u l,” said the junior member of tho firm as ho handed him a check, “ I ’m con foundedly sorry about this thing. I t ’s a wretched business from beginning to end, and if I could have h ad my way about it, old boy, it would not have happened. I wired a friend up in Wisconsin, who wrote me somo timo since that ho wanted a good bookkeeper, that if the place was not already filled I could find a capital man for him. I hnvo Just received an anawor, which says, ‘Let him como a t once,’ So If you w ant to go you are n o tout all around. Wbnfc say y ouf” “ I will go at once—tonight,” was tho prompt reply. Paul’s hardest task still lay before him —to see his intended wife and to toll her ,all. Tho young man told bis story openly and frankly, omitting nothing and con* lallng nothing. He told of tho opportunities that lay be fore him. and of the sacrlfloes ho was de termined to make u n til he h ad paid every cent, but there would bo a s tain upon his name, and if she wished she was free to break tho engagement between them at Fresh Candy Chewing Gum, Fine To- li'Aoco <& Cigars^ Pipes, and Smokers’ Supplies, Play ing Cards, ChipB, Games of All Kinds, Come a n d look a tjon r a*8ortm ent. L-ave yoar ordt-ra for magazines 'and new.spapers. Fresh peanuts always tn band, at BUFFINTON’S, B u t If ho h ad thought that she would take such a step b e was destined to bo happily disappointed, for her reply was: “ Paul, although 1 have feared for a long time that something like this was going to happen, I don't w a n t to be free from you, because—because I love you. Go away, do tho best you can and, come what may, know that there is one who trusts you and is waiting for you,” When a year h ad passed, ho had paid everything aijd was beginning to save. Besides ho had dropped all of bis foolish airs and habits and become In every way more manly and independent. Ono day near tho close of his second year tho young bookkeeper and bis em ployer woro talking together when tho lat ter said; “ Paul, I am thinking of taking in a partner. My business Is growing bo fast that it needs two to attend to it, and I want some ono that thoroughly under stands lb. Have you boon able to save much since you oamo out boro? You must, for you Imvon’t any oxponslvo habits.” A t first tho young man blushed and seemed slightly confused, but rooovcrlng himself ho told his employer in a few words how he had come to loavo Johns- port and in what way tho most of his money had been spent since that time. \This is a surprise to me,” was the re ply, “ yet I am not sorry to hear it, for It shows that you have the right stuff In Paul Williams is now the master of a pleasant heme and fat on the road to wealth, b ut be has not forgotten tha b itter rd often affirms A Bold, Bad Man.
