He had loved her, oh! so tenderly, W^\TCh,a,ayear- And 8he had loved him always, always. He was aland she 18, and he had 0 pe,r^eek' Great heavens, how they did love! ‘Precious darling,” he murmured, one evening as the pale moon hung its golden crescent in the blue, blue 8hy, “letus fly!” The dear, silly angels thought they had wings. “Where to, Algie?” she whispered eagerly, forgetful of her syntax, or prosody or whatever it is that governs a final proposition.' “Where we may be made one, dar ling, he said ecstatically. ‘But, Algie,” she hesitated, “we have no money, have we?’’ “Darling,” he whispered, I have 810 a week.” Oh! Algie,” she whispered, “for give me for doubting you That will give us theater tickets twice a week, soda water and candy, won’t it, and what more could heart wish?” Precious darling!” he exclaimed, Kissing her rapturously. And so they were married. SURE TO BE ACQUITTED. All a nit Was an Election Bow and Did Mot Amount to Mooli. “What’s your defense?” asked the attorney who had been sent for to de fend a man charged with murder. “It wa3 a mistake,” said the pris oner. How a mistake?” asked the lawyer. “Well, I hit him with a brick, but I didn’t mean to kill him.” “Did you throw the brick at him in tending that it should hit him?” “No; I didn’t throw it at him at>all. I kept it in my hands and just pounded him on the head with it.” “But you meant to hit him?” “Sure I did, but I didn’t mean to kill him.” “Um! Well, I don’t believe I can get you off on that plea. What was the trouble about?” “I was trying to convince him that he ought to vote for Mullaney. ” “And wouldn’t he do it?” “Naw. He said the other man was twice as good a man and that he wouldn’t vote for Mullaney for seven teen men like me, and then I hit him. And now they swear they’ll hang me.” “O well, don’t worry about that. I see my way clear now. If I can have the trial set for some day just before election I’ll raise the cry of political prosecution, and that will pull you through all right. It’s a good thing you were talking politics, though. You’d hang if it had been anything else.” Another Courtship Ended. He had been worshiping her for months, but had never told her, and she didn’t want him to. He had come often and stayed late, and she could only sigh and hope. He was going away the next day on. his vacation and he thought the last night was the time to spring the momentous ques tion. He kept it to himself, however, until the last thing. It was 11:30 by the clock, and it wasn’t a very rapid clock. “Miss Mollie,” he began trem ulously, “I am going away to-mor row.” “Are you?” she said, with the thoughtlessness of girlhood as she gazed wistfully at the clock. “Yes,” he replied. “Are you sorry?” “Yes, very sorry,” she murmured. “I thought you might go away this even ing.” Then she again gazed at the clock wistfully, and he told her good night. _ Saved by a Baby Incubator. Dr. C. C. Bippus of Allegheny, was called to attend a woman who had fallen downstairs. The shock caused her to give birth to a 6-months’ child. The doctor thought the child dead, wrapped it in paper and took it to his office, intending to have it buried. At his office Dr. Bippus detected life in the little body. He quickly rigged up an incubator, which he warmed by bottles of hot water. He put the baby in it and nourished it by injections of scrapings from raw beef. The young ster gradually grew stronger during the over four months of its captivity, and the other day Dr. Bippus took it out find surprised the mother, who had thought it dead, by restoring it to her. _ Lawyers In Trnrte. “Do you know,” asked one of your nose-for-news men of the writer, “that many lawyers are engaging in other business in addition to their profession? There was a time when a lawyer would think it a tarnish on his profession if he did anything else. But it is not so any more in this city. I know one lawyer who has an in terest in a meat market, and I know a judge of the supreme court who ia the owner of a barber shop. He bought the place one day before ho was on the bench as an investment, and it pays so well that he is holding on to it __ In the Desert. When Mr. David Lindsay returned from his expedition across a part of the Australian desert some time ago. he said the whole of that almost waterless country was inhabited by natives who get their water supply by draining the roots of the mallee-tree, which yield quantities of pure water. This tree, absorbing moisture front the air, retains it in considerable quantities in its roots and thus makes it possible to live in an arid region, which would otherwise be uninhab itable. FOLLOWING PRECEDENT. Old BUI Botts Found the C'liinoae Not at All Accommodating. A good, honest fellow in his way was Bill Botts, but he had never had an opportunity to study moral philos ophy as taught in the colleges and universities. He came from Bidde ford, in Devon, and very likely some of his ancestors had helped Drako •‘wallop" the Spaniards. He had fol lowed in tlielr footsteps by enlisting in tho navy to fight for his country whenever called upon to do so. When he returned from a voyage to China he brought with him a present for a gentleman who had been yery kind to his old mother during his ab sence. It was a curiously fashioned Chinese garment made of bits of a species of straw strung together. "Blase, snr, you must excoos un be ing torn,” he said bashfully, when he presented it, "the Chinaman wouldn’t part with un alsy.” He had run across a Chinaman wearing it somewhere in the streets of llong Kong, and tho unfortunate celestial not understanding his sum mary request to "Hand . that over here,” ho had simply yanked it off him. To tho suggestion that his oonduot had hardly been consistent with strict honesty he replied: “Beggin’ your pardon, sur, ho wus only a haythen, an’ I never heard that taking things from a haythen counted as stalin’.” “Well,” replied his friend, "If many illustrious Englishmen had not acted on that assumption I don’t know where the British empire would now be, so I’ll keep tho heathen’s gar* ments.” THE MANDOLIN OIRL. She Wbi a Fraud, of Course, Dul Nona the Leat Interesting. In the corner of a New York cable car sat a charming girl. She was beautifully gowned, faultlessly gloved, bore a most becoming hat on her piquant little head, and on her lap carried a mandolin case. Of course she was the object of intense interest to the other passengers, and a man who had seen her nearly every day in the car and always carrying the man dolin put her down in his mind as the most devoted student of that musical instrument he had ever encountered. Behind him sat two shopgirls and they were discussing the interesting un known. "There is that mandolin girl again," said one of them. "I can’t bear to look at her.” “Why not?” asked the other girl; “I think she'is beautiful.” “So she is, but she is such a fraud. She clerks in a store downtown, and doesn’t want people to know she is a shopgirl. So she carries that everlast ing mandolin back and forth to con vey the impression that she is a society girl out for a music lesson. I have known of her little dodge for more than a year, and am tired of it I wish she would carry a tennis racket or a poodle for a change. “The mandolin case is very conven ient, however, for another girl told me that she carries her lunch, her overshoes, a comb and brush and lots of other things in it. It is not honest, though, and I feel contempt for her. ” Possible. A popular English Nonconformist minister was staying with a family in Glasgow, while on a visit to that city, whither he had gone on a deputation from the Wesleyan missionary society. At dessert, when invited to take some line fruit which he declined, he men tioned to the family a curious circum stance concerning himself—he had never in his life tasted an apple, pear, grape or any other kind of green fruit. This fact caused considerable amaze ment to most of the family, but a cousin who was present—a cautions Scotchman of a most practical turn of mind—listened to the statement with great unconcern, and when the vari ous exclamations which it had aroused subsided, he remarked dryly: “It’s a great peety ye hadna been in Para dise, and there micht na hae been any fa’.” A Cool Chinaman. Coolness is a powerful weapon, even against wild beasts. The other day a philosophic Chinaman, in the Straits settlements, was walking along a country road, and sucking a length of sugar cane. Out of the woods leaped a tiger. Some people in the China man's position would have bolted; others would have screamed; still oth ers would have fainted; but John merely gave the tiger a tap oa the head with his sugar cane and then calmly went on sucking the tooth some juices. The tiger was so com pletely upset with his unexpected re ception that he fled! Carrier Pigeons. The carrier-pigeon, when traveling, never feeds. If the distance be long, it flies without stopping to take nutri ment, and at last arrives thin, ex hausted, almost dying. If corn be presented to it, it refuses, contenting itself with drinking a little water and then sleeping. Two hours later it begins eating with great modera tion, and sleeps again immediately afterwards. If its flight has been very prolonged, the pigeon will proceed in this manner for forty-eight hours before recovering its normal mode of feeding. A Vagrant lilt of Advice. We do not know to whom the fol lowing vagrant bit of advice should bo credited, but it is good sound sense. “When a man playfully points a gun or pistol at you knock him down. Don’t stop to inquire whether it is loaded or not—knock him down. Don’t b'e particular what you knock him down with—only see that he is thoroughly knocked down. If a coroner’s inquest be held let it be on I the other fellow—he won’t be missed.” IT WENT DEMOCRATIC. Colonel Vlmlra'i First Sod Experience With n Virginia Jury. "Washington not only has among its wonders and beauties the charming city of Tacoma," said Colonel Will Visscher, “but it has some remarkable characters, sah. There is, for Instance, Colonel Patrick Henry Winston, late fedoral attorney in that state, who is a descendant of the old ‘give-me liborty-or-glve-mo-death* Henry, so dear to the memory of the sohoolboy dcclaimer. "When Winston began practicing law, after graduating at a North Car olina college and somebody's law of floe, he settled in Lynchburg, Va. Ills i first case was tho defense of a negro who was charged with grand larceny. Winston said of that case: T con ducted It, sir, witli such consummate ability, and made such an eloquent speech in behalf of my client that I felt oertain of his acquittal. Tho case was given to the jury about noon and I went homo to dinner. On tho way down to tho court house after the noon meal I met a mulatto whom ]| had seen loafing about the court room, and I asked him if the jury had come in. " • "Yas, sah,” he said, "do jury’s done come in, sah.” "' "Do you know what it did?" '• ‘The man looked serious and some what alarmed as he said: "Tell you, Mars Winston, dat jury's done gone Dimmercratio. ” “ ‘My heart sank. It was shortly after the close of the war, and I knew what it meant for a jury to "go Dim mercratic” in a negro case down there in Virginia. My case was lost.” AN INQUIRING MIND. The Auloiu>Lookln( Men Aiked t Very Touching Question. “And now,” said the learned lectur er, who had addressed a small, but deeply attentive audience at the vil lage hall, "I have tried to make theso problems, abstruse as they may ap pear, and involving In their solution the best thoughts, the closest analysis, and the most profound investigations of our best scientific men for many years—I have triod, I Bay, to make them seem Comparatively simple and easily understood, in the light of mod ern knowledge. Before I close this lecture I shall be glad to answer any questions that may occur to you as to points that appear to need clearing up or that may have been overlooked. ” There was a silence of a few mo ments and then an anxious-looking man in the rear of the hall rose up. "I would take it as a favor,” he said, "if you could tell mo whether science has produced as yet any reliable and certain cure for warts?" A Race of Giant Cannibals Unlike as it may seem to some who read these lines, it is a fact, neverthe less, that there is an island in the gulf of California, not more than sixty miles from the Mexican mainland, which is inhabited by the remnants of a race of giant cannibals. This startling discovery was made by a West coast naturalist early in 1891, and has since been confirmed by both United States and Mexican explorers. Mr. McNamara, the scientist referred to, has a photograph of one of the men found by him on the island, that in dividual, although not one of the largest, being over seven feet in height The island upon which they were found is known as the island or isle of Leri, and the original discoverer says that there is every evidence of cannibalism among them. Writing the Scriptures. The scriptures were first written on skins, linen cloth or papyrus, and roll ed up as we do engravings The Old Testament was written in the old He brew character—an offshoot of the Phoenician. It was a symbol language as written, having no vowels The consonants were only written, and the vowel sound supplied by the voice. The words ran together in a continu ous line. After the Hebrew became a dead language vowels were supplied to preserve usage, which was passing. After the Babylonish captivity the written Hebrew was modified by the Aramaic,and schools of reading taught the accent and emphasis Then came the separation of words from each other, then division into verses. She Squelched the Lloenae Clerk Just as the door of the city clerk's office was due to be closed the other night, two young ladies called and stated that they were looking for a marriage license. “This is not the place," explained the sober-faced clerk. “The clerk of the court issues them at the court house, but you are too late to get down there before he goes home." “Isn’t that provoking?” remarked one of the maidens, with a pout equally provoking. “They told us that this was the place to get licenses.” “It is. Dog licenses,” the facetious clerk answered. “The license is for me, not you. sir,” answered the girl, and a deep hush fell on the city seal. Not Much ot a Company, A British regiment stationed in India had listened to a sermon on “the company of apostles,” from its “padre,” now a colonial bishop. As the officer sat at mess the sermon came up in the conversation and va rious opinions of its merits were heard.‘ Presently the adjutant, a silent, saturnine man who had risen from the ranks, remarked; “To tell the truth, I don’t think much of the apostles as a company—only twelvo, rank and file." ••£ Pinrlbut Cnam" ou Cains, The legend “E Pluribus Unum," which appears on a number of United States coins, was never authorized by law. Its first use is said to have been upon a coin struck at Newbury, N. Y., in 1777, before the adoption of our constitution. UNTIL JAN. 1,1895, 25 CENTS.
