;' "Indeed, air. Askaml" Miss Laborro
said, assuming an Indifferent nlr, but
blushing1 slightly, "and upon what do
s you wish .to consult mof
'' "Upon 86vcr.il subjects, my dear Miss 4
Laborrs " answered Mr. Aoknm, rising
from his chair and ecatlng himself bc-
j lde hor on tho sofa, "First, I Bhould
llko to know whothor you consider U
' Is posslblo for two peoplo to' llvo com-
'fortably on $3,500 a year."
" "Oh, yes, indeed, Mr. ABkam," Miss
- Laborro replied, quickly, "If twp neo
' pie 1ovo each other that to more than
-r 'enough.''
' "I am Indeed dellfchtcd to hoar you
say so," snld Mr. Askam fervontly.
-Secondly, do you think that you that
"your mother and yotf after llvlug here
' .'together so long, could bear to bo sep
orated?"
" "It vouldnfbo an though wo really
' were separated, living In the samo city,
t you know, Mr. ABkam ," returned MIbs

'neither of us would mind It eo very
; much."
' "That's a bravo young lady," cordlnl-
ly responded Mr. Askam, patting the
Jbaok o; her hand affccjtlonatply, as It
' Jay In her lap, "that's 41 bravo girl.
.'And, thirdly, do yon think a man of 47,

,Any, discrepancy In tho sges?"
- ''Oh, oil;' 'you Insulting thing!"
screamed MIbb Laborro, springing to
( er feet, "you know I am not 23."
, ' "Ccrtalnjy, my dear," responded tho
- astonished Mr. Askam, mildly, "cer
tainly, but your mother must bo nearly
-)as old as I am."
f "You havp been speaking of my
"' mother?" demanded .Miss Laborro,
'tragically.
V "Of course," B"ld Mr. Askam, looking

Their f.nt Prnnk.
Johu Davis, one of the largeaj. elder
makers In Indiana, recently killed thir
teen coons under very peculiar circum
stances. Mr, Davis' cider mill is built
t wood a,nd stands away from his
house. He was awakened, during the
Alight by a noise In the mill and upon
"'Investigation found that thirteen coons
.were on tho Inside, drinking elder. He
fastened the doof and locked them In
ttnd went tp bed. When ho sot up the
'next morning he took the coon dog and
teeveral hands and began the killing.
He found the coons drutik and under
going all stages of jags. The scene was
'(tr most peculiar one. They had rolled
nhe barrels over, which had been" left
open to allow the elder to wprk. They
had then drank themselves ful of hard
'cider.
Opinion on Trait.
"It Is much harder tp examine and
- judge than to take up opinions on trust;
nnd therefore, the far. greatest part of
'the world borrow from others thoso
which they entertain concerning all tho
Affairs of Ufa and death. Hence It pro
ceeds that men are so unanimously
'eager In the pursujt of things, which,
-for from having anr Inherent real gpod,
-are varnished o'er with a epeqlous and
'deceitful gloss; and contain nothiug
Answerable to their appearance. Hence
it 'proceeds on the other hand", that, in
'those thln'ga which are called evils,
there is nothing 00 hard and terrible as
the general cry of the world threatens.
Thus the multitude has ordained. But
the greatest part of their ordinances are
"ibrosatcd by the wise." Bolingbroko.

In 1S93, an average year, .hey Issuod

tho only suro test ot merit ns a novel
that of survival. Only In rare In

The man whoso book actually lives ton

Only onco or twice In a generation do
writers appear whose stories hove

this Is all as It should bo. It 1b well

JQEPHINE WAS MERCIFUL.
Sh Tried to Prevent tho Kxecutloa of
' the Duo ri'Unghlen.
Mmq, Bonaparte learned with Intense
Borrow of tho determination taken by
her husband. In the main his measures
and his convictions had been kept a
secret, but sho confided both to Mme.
4o Remusat, and the first consul him
self had told them to Joseph. On tho
20th tho decree for tho duke's Impris
onment and trial was dictated by the
first consul from -tho Tullerles, and In
the early afternoon ho returned to Mal
malson, whero nt three o'clock Josenh
found him strolling In the park, con
versing with Talleyrand, who limped
along at his side. "I'm afraid of that
cripple," was Josenhino's Kreetlnc to
her brothor-ln-law. "Interrupt this
long talk If you can."
Tho mediation of tho elder brother
was kindly and skillful, and for a tlm
the first consul seemod softened, by the
memories of his own and his brother'g
boyhpod, among which pame and went
tho figure of the Prince ot Condc. Bui
other feelings prevailed; the brothers
had differed about Luclcn's marriage
and the question of desceut If the con
sular power should become hereditary;
tho old coolness finally settled down
and chilled the last hppea In the tender
hearted advocation foi- rinmnnnv T
Josephine's tearful entreaties for
mercy, her husbani' replied: "On away;
you're a child; you don't understand
public duties." By five It was known
that tho duke had arrived at Vln
cennes, and at onco Savnry was de
spatched to the city for orders from
Murat, the military commandant, pn
his arrival at Murat'o ofllco, from
which Taleyrand was In tho very act
of departing, he was Informed that th,e
eourt martial was already convened,
and that it would be his duty to guard
the prisoner and execute whatever sen
tence was passed. "Life of Napoleon,'

tury.
Kapolron Do th-Ited Statement.
When Napoleon was on Ills death bed
a maladroit attendant read from an
English review a bitter arraignment of
him as guilty of the duke's murder.
The dying man rose, and catching up
JiIb will, wrote In ils own hand: "I bad,
the Due d'Knghlen seized aid tried be
cause It was necessary to the safety,
the Interest, and tho honor of the
French neoplo, when by his own con
fession the Comto d'Artols wa3 sup
porting slxy assassins In Paris. Under
similar circumstances I would again
d? likewise." Nevertheless' he gavq
himself the utmost pains on certain oc
casions to unload the entire responsi
bility" on Talleyrand. To Lord Ebrlng
ton, to O'Meara, to Las Cases, to'Mon
tholon, he asseveratedthat Talleyrand
had checked his Impulses to clemency.

viction of Wolfe depended largely oh

From the roBt-Diepateti: The vitl- J
oua'oia elk In Foreut ynrlc that oreil A
lo death Keeper Nelson Itut week, will " v
bare a kinder dlspoeltlon In (ufuro.
That la what Dr. Aiintole Roulftho
vctcrln&rlan, saye, After the unfrtu
nato accident It was decided first to kill
the old fellow and sell his careas$ to
some restaurateur, but Dr. Roulf sug
gested that ho could take a rocf it) tho
elk's temperment by performing a sur
gical operation. So It was finally
agreed to give the forest monarch a
longer lecre of life, and tho operation
waa successfully accomplished. .Since
then tho elk has hceu doing nicely and
giving no trouble. Dr. Roulf, tfark
Commissioner Rldgoly and eight as
sistants, armed with clubs, pitchforks
and rope enough to hang anyone, Btart
ed for tho lnclosuro wherein dwelt tho
murdcrouc elk. After some tedlpua
maneuvering tho old fellow was as
soed, Then he was securely fastoned
on each side and his head pulled down
to tho ground. But this didn't put him
In readiness for the operation; cmly
half of the work was accomplished. Ho
Ho v
md J
fought desperately with his fore and
hind legs and no one would ventur
within their reach. One by ono tho
legs were encircled by the rope and
then alj four were eecurcly fastened
togother. Then tho operation wna
easy. This Ib the flrBt operation of tho
kind ever performed on an e!k, deer or
any slmillar Animal, either In Europ'a
or America, says Dr. Roulf. In speak
ing of tho affair tho doctor said: "Qf
course this elk was a bad fellow, and
had killed one man before, In Chlcag6,
but what made him bo extremely vill
ous was his constant jealousy nnd his
quarrels with the other bucks. He will
now be kept by himself nnd can huvo
no chanco for a fight In future." Tho
doctor performed laparotomy on one qf
tho bull buffaloes last week. Two of
the buHs quarreled and one was badly
gored In the right side. Through the
Incision made by the horns, part pf
the entrails protruded. When the doc
tor wont to replace them ho noticed one
was badly lacerated. This was quickly
stltchod up and tho entrails rcplnced.
After that thp wound In tho side waa
sewed and dressed and tho buffalo- a
now well. ' '

San Francisco Post: "I got Into n hot
place once," remarked cx-Sherlft Healoy
of Marin county. "In fact, It was tho
hottest place I ever got Into In my life.
When I waB running nn engine on the
Narrow Gauge road I noticed a leak at
the 80ft plug Jn the crown of my engine.
It kept getting worse, so I decided to
pluff It. That night I rnked the Are",
and when the Are box cooled off a llttlo
crawled In and examined the lcaft. I
measured tho ho'e carefully, nnd after
trying the calipers on a rat-tall file, l
had concluded that It was just tho
thing. I would drive it in and break it
off. I put tho end of tho fllo in the hole,
hit It a crack with the hammer, and In
stead of sticking It went clear through.
The nest minute boiling hot water waa
pouring down on mo from the boiler,
The Are box was only about four feet
square and the soft plug was right In
the center over my head, so I couldn't
get close enough Into any of the corners
without getting my legs scalded. I am
pretty largo, and tho door of the flro
box was smalt, but I had to get out or
get scalded. I turned my back to the
hot water, and by the time I wiggled out
tho door I was the hottest man on tho
coast. When I pulled oft ny clothes
I took about eight square Inches of skin
with them. Since then I draw tho.
water hafnre i do any DlUKglng."
A I.wrer rtrench nt Confidence.
A queer case Is reported from Sydney,
Australia. A man was convicted by a
Jury of having tried to poison his wlfo
with arsenic, Ills lawyers obtained a
reconsideration of thp scntonco by a
commission appointed hy, the legisla
ture, consisting pf two doctors and n
lawyer, which pronounced him Inno
cent, tho doctors voting down the law
yer, who thought him guilty. The man
was set free In consequence. Subse
quently one of his lawyers, moved
by conscience, told' another mem
ber of the" bar that tho man
had confessed his guilt to him at tho
time of the trial and tho matter wan
brought before the legislature. Law
yers and clients have been arrested
and are to bo prosecuted for conspir
acy to defeat tho ends of Justice Com
munic itlons between lawyer and client
are apparency pot privileged In Aus
tralia, Retting on tho llaccn.
The big trottlng-boree people in Buf-
'falo and western New York, Including
C. J. Hamlin, aro rani to oe preparing
Jo mako a determined movement this
