All hands Insisted on hU breaking the Ice , and the party adjourned to the read- Inp room , where ho began his story. "Boys , I have been on the road a good many years.

"All went on well , " ho continued , "until I was about ten miles out and then a thunder storm caino on.

" 1 Imvo got lots of gall so nave you , boys , nnd I illdn't mind the people. I pushed through the crowd. The door lending to the farm house was open nnd in I walked. An Old typical Ynnk strode toward mo , and ex tending Ku baud , said , 'How d'ya do1 ] I noticed the old man wai pl.id to see me. ' "Take oft your things,1 ho said , 'and come In. Mary's nigh crazy at your not coming oil time. ' "This sort of paralyzed me , hut I didn't jnlucl it. nnd after hiking off my duds I fol lowed the old man Into the parlor. "A crowd of people was there , and at one Ido was a young girl all dressed In white. \Vhon wo entered they nil rose and bowed , and my Kiililo slapped mo on the back and Bald to the company : " 'I knowed ho'd show up. * "Tho thing began to puzzle me , " continued Irtio nurrutor. "Tho whisperings of the com pany and the old man's remarks about my Cot disappointing , staggered inc. The girl Inwhlto sat still anil eyed mo in a curious way. but the old man fixed things.

Como down. ' " \Vo went down , nnd when wo reached the entrance there stood a man with a girl on his arm. Slio was smiling sweetly and I wished to bo in the other fellow's place just then. The old man looked sharply at mo , then at other inun. " 'Pu , don't you know Johnl' said the girl. " 'B'gosh , is that you. John ] ' ho said , slap ping the other mun on the back. ' 1 thought this wus John.1 and ho looked nt mo. "The girl blushed , mid so aid 1. 'Why. pa,1 she said , 'I know ho was not John , nnd thought ho was a friend of yours. ' "Then explanations followed. The old man declared ho was nearsighted ; that 1 looked like his son-in-law ; that ho hud seen the lat ter but cmco In n year nnd got mixed up kin- dor. I stayed for the wedding and hal a good time. "It was a narrow escape , boys , was It noli" ho concluded. All hnnds laughed , nnd then "Dlcli" Mc- Cartlo "Handsome Dick , " as they called him related one of his experiences , which bo Bald was the oddest ho over had. Ho xvns stopping hi the Dclevan house at Albany n year ago , ho said. Ho arrived In town early In the morning , and , nfter on- ( racing a room , started off to make n sale. Ho tnct some of the boys and they had a pretty peed tlmu until about 1 a. m. next day. when ho started for the hotel , Ho reached it In safety , ho said , nnd proceeded to the third " " jir , whore his room was located. 'I hail neglected to lock the door , and to tell you the truth , " ho went on , ' 'rcallv I bad forgotten the number , so I thought I would take chances on the Jlrst door I found open. XJolsoiessly 1 walked along the hull , trying the doors. Suddenly ono opened and In I valked. I throw off my overcoat and dl- Vested myself of myco.it audvost without going to the trouble of lighting the gas. "An I was about to sit down nnd take oft jmy shoos I thought I heard the door ojxm.

'You scoundrel , ' he unlit , ' 1'vo ' caught you now ; I am going to murder you. " A pretty young girl was sit ting up in the bed , speechless and whito- rfuccd. " 'What nro you doing in this room !

"The widest experieneo 1 overbad occurred three years ago next month1 ho begun. "I WBJ then in San Francisco. I was standing in the ilewt | , waiting for a train. Alongside of mo was u respectable looking man. Sud denly hu put his hand in his pocket nnd ex claimed loudly !

Ho grabbed hold of me I tell you It was. rough nnd yanked mo over to an oolcer , who brought wo to the central police station. "To the man in charge there my accuser , yho , by the way , wus a Chicago man , do- itallcd hU loo.

"The Chicago man was thero. Ho looked penitent , but I have not tbo slightest idea how I looked. Ho tried to apeak to me , but the office.-3 pushed him aside. I was craving as I not- prayed before to got out of the hole. I hid ; an appointment that evening with n big woollen man and had a chance to sell n big bill. "i'rctty soon my nnmo was called nnd 1 was told I was charged with highway robbery. The complainant was called , and as ho stopped up to the Judge ho said that ho had not been robbed at nil and xvas very sorry for the trouble ho had caused. " 1'hcn ho abjectly apologized to mo and told all about the money. On entering the station ho had put the pocketbook in the tall pocuct of his coat , where ho found it when ho wenthomo. The peculiar wirt of It was that his pocketbook was the very same as mine , the bills nnd amount wro tnosamo , and if bo really had lost it nothing would tavo saved rae from prison. "That was an odd experience , wasn't It ! " ho concluded. All agreed with him that U was. A Kllok Uobbcry. Last week a salesman for an cistern Jew elry house left Now Castle for Youngstown via the Pittsburg & Lake Eric railroad. At Now Castle Junction his sample cases , which had been choclrcd through to Youngstown - town , were taken off the baggage car to bo transferred. While- lying nt the depot a thief or thieves stole ono of the most valuable of the number nnd carried It to a sand house near by , whore ho cut It open nnd abstracted several thousand dollars' ' worth of gold watches and chnlni. It Is not known how far the salesman got before ho inissodhls grip , but it was aomo time before It was found. It Is said that some few pieces of tbo Jewelry were found where the thief had dropped them. At pres ent there is no clue , but a biff scarcn is being made to catch the thief. It is altogether nrobnblo that the railroad company will bo liable for the loss. A "Worthy Object. Mr. A. . 7VI.

The esteem hi which Mr. Oakes was held by the Bautn iron company of this city , for whom he traveled In the state of Nebraska , Is shown oy a letter In which they state that ho was an earnest , energetic and faithful traveler , and enjoyed tholrfullest confidence. They hope that the move to relieve tbo needs ' of h'is widow will be responded to very generously. Tlio Drummer's Ml stake. I met her in a Pullman car , In section number nine , Each eye shown like a morning star , With radiance divine ; So when I placed my bags and traps In section number ten , She looked so tempting "mid " her wraps I sought her face again. She glanced at mo with roguish , pose , Yet innocent of guilt , Then colored liken blushingroso And I tried to hide a smile ; The sweet confusior but enhanced Her dainty tint of pink , And qulto by accldentlsh chanced The nearest eye to wink. "When she refused my proffered card With scorn and proud disdain , I tried my best and ploadud hard My error to explain. She listened to my mumbling crude , Then tossed her nose on high ; "I think , " she said , "you'd wink if you'd A cinder in your eyo.

BE SOT COME AGAIN ? The Strangely Tragic Story of a YOUDJJ Hew Yorker's Death. STILL HAUNTED BY A PALLID FACE , Itoth Itrido nnd Groom nro Gone , but in Their Mansion Her Spirit Ever Watches for Ills Return. At No. 321 West Ono Hundred and Twenty-sixth street there stands nn old- fashioned Iiou30 , says the Now York Morning1 Journal. Evidently It was built moro than an hundred years ago , for It is the style of architecture popu lar In old colonial days. The house la square In Its construction nnd Is two stories In height. A wide veranda runs around the exterior of tlio bulldinfr , which Is covered with viuos , which from the street look like a canopy of preen cloth. The house Is unoccupied now , nnd In fact has boon so for the past thirty years. No ono cares to Hvo in It for the ronsou that Ills said to bo haunted. But it Is a wide , roomy mansion , and if it were not for Its reputation would lonff since have boon occupied. Fifty years or more ago Edward Jam ison lived In this old homestead. Ho was a young man when ho moved into the house , which was part of an ances tral fortune Inherited from his grand father , who built the structure. Jamison was a young man about town , well known to the residents ol tlio city. Uo had been educated at Harvard college - lego and afterward wont to Europe , where ho spent several years hi travel. His father was a member of the Jamison fatnily , for years veil known In the po litical and social world of old New York. The older Jamison was an only son of old General Jamison , the founder of the family , who died in France , leaving- his fortune to his son , the young intm al ready spoken of. Young Jamison did not keep the for tune Inherited from his father for any length of timo. Horses , carriages , dogs , wine and women soon exhausted it , and ho was , at the time of his grand father's death , down almost to his last dollar. The death of old General Jamison , however , put him in possession of btlll another fortune , and it was with a glad hoartthatho moved Into the ancestral homo from his bachelor apartments downtown. A year after coming Into his grand father's fortune Jamison's friends were surprised at receiving invitations to his wedding. It was a most fashionable affair , his bridoboiiiff Miss Caroline Edwards of Newport , II. I. , a daughter of one of the most exclusive and wealthy of Puritan families. The young couple started in life at the ancestral homo of Jamison most happily. They entertained largely and wcro noted for the lavish manner with which they greeted their friends. Jamison used to drive a team of white blooded horses around Harlem , and they could reel off the rnilos nt a pace ivhicli left everything else on the road far bo- hind. Eoople living there used to com ment on the way Jamison drove the white horses , and used to say there was no doubt that some day the team would run away and kill their owner. Mrs. Jamison used to remonstrate with her husband for the careless way in which ho drove the team , but ho would only smile and reply that ho-was perfect ly able to take care of himself. Ono stormy winter afternoon when the ground was covered with snow Jamison started out behind his pair of flyers. His wife begged him not to go , but ho only laughed nt her and waved a gallant good-by to her as aho stood at a window in the upper part of the houso. A few hours later Jamison was brought back to his homo dead. His team had run away with him , and ho was thrown out of his sleigh to the ground and instantly killed. The terrific shock of the death of her husband seemed to change Mrs. Jami son's character entirely. Her reason was not exactly lost , but she would stnnd for hours looking out of the window where she last waved good-by to her hus band , awaiting his homo-coming , She did not seem to understand that her hus band was dead , but with a white , anxious face , day after day , stared blankly put of the window in the vain hope of seeing him. People passing the handsome mansion used to look up at the window where stood Mrs. Jamison and would say with bated breath : "Thoro is the mad Indv. " Ono day the news was circulated around Harlem that Mrs. Jamison was dead. She had hanged herself , it was later learned , in an upper room of her homo. Whether she had suddenly realised that her husband was dead , or whether her wild madness had taken a suicidal turn , was never actually known , and from the social standing and wealth of her family the matter was hushed un. No coroner's inquest was held and noth ing was known about the tragedy except to the Jamison family and a few intimate friends. As neither Mr. nor Mrs. Jamison had children , the estate and fortune passed to a distant branch of the family living in the west. The old mansion was rented and poo- 'plo wore rather surprised at the end of a week to see the now tenants move out. out.Forawhilo the mansion was not occu- cupiod , but finally another family moved in. Three days later they also moved out and to friends told a remark able story. They faald that when they first occu pied the mansion they constantly heard strange noises. First would bo heard the patter of feet walking around in an upper chainbor , which would bo followed by a low sobbing cry. When the fatnily wont into the room from which the noises came nothing was to bo soon. soon.But as soon as they loft the room again would bo hoard the sound of weeping and the steady tramp of feet. For two days the family stood the un canny sounds , believing that they could discover that the noises were made by human agency. On the morning of the third day , a member of the family was Bitting in tlio chamber whence the noises came. Ho hoard the sound of foots tops com ing un tbo wide staircase. Softly but steadily they advanced , nnd ho could also hear the soft rustle of fcminino gar ments. Suddenly the door of the room opened and with the rush of cold air a woman entered.- She was young and fair , and was dreaped In a quaint gown of colonial fashion. Her face was white and drawn , aud her tearless eyes turned neither to American Hand Sewed Shoe Co , fl M : - OMAHA - : > . r. r.Wl tlie Exclusive Western Agents for the u > I The largest manufacturers of rubber footwear in the world.Vo carry the only complete stock of first-class rubber goods in the city.

NE.B. the right nor loft , but stared "blankly into vacancy. She walked toward the window and stood for a moment , looking out into the street. Frozen with horror , the voung man seated in the room watched her. At last , gathering his wits about him , ho jumped and ran to the window for the purpose of seeing whether the woman there was flesh and blood. But when ho reached where she was standing she had disappeared , and lie foil to the floor iu a faint. On the following day his family moved out of the house , and the story of what ho had seen was told to a few inti mate friends. From the description of the woman lie had soon , it was evidently Mrs. Jamison , for when ho was shown a picture of her lie immediately identified it as being the same as the mvstorious woman ho had seen. Since then no ono has occupied the house , and It is rapidly fulling into decay. People , however , to this day romeui- bor the story of Airs.

Once give full scope "to'the expression of woman's powersv in any nnd every form of activity that' may correspond to those powers ; rolievd nlike from fear of poverty and dependence , and from , the tyranny of enforced' inactivity , and womanhood will blossom into beauty and strength and lovliness of character hitherto undreamed' , writes Mrs. Helen E. Starrctt in 'the Forum. Es pecially in the homo relations of women will this 'bo apparent ; As an earnest thinker upon tlio subject has said , "It Is Inevitable that the removal of any ex ternal pressure of necessity to marry for the sake of a homo nnd support will have a tendency to clevato the standard of marriage , first among women , and then among men. " One of the greatest foes to happy marriages is the existence of the mercenary spirit on the part of parents and daughters. Nothing will so effectively remove itns the possession by young girls and women of satisfactory , honorable , remunerative occupations , and the countenance and approbation of society in the pursuit of thorn. Mar- caret Fuller said : "No woman can give her hand with dignity until she has learned to stand alone. " The day is near at hand when the thoroughly-edu cated woman will be the ono admirably described by Goethe as "able , if neces sary , to bo both father and mother to her children. " Hero will bo found the true conditions for forming lovo-inspired marriages , as a consequence , the cens ing to bo of any other kind. And while wo open to them tlio door of freedom to find the highest heaven of earthly hap piness the homo builded upon love and a happy marriage , wo nt the same time furnish them with a key of escape from the bastilo , that hell a marriage from which love and respect have departed.

Mount Tacoma , Washington , rises tea a height of 14,414 foot , aud up to the present ti.no only twenty-nine persons have climbed to its summit , of whom Miss Fay Fuller of Tacoma is the only woman. The party with whom Miss Fuller made the ascent on September 10 consisted of Kov. E. C. Smith , R It Parish and " \V. O , Amsdon of Seattle and Leonard Longmiro , the guide , of Yolra , says the Now York World. Ex perienced mountalneors sav that Mount Tacoma is the most difficult American peak to climb. The nscont of the first 7,000 foot was made on horseback , through dense forests , across dangerous streams and beautiful natural parks , known as the lower gardens of Eden , consumed nearly four days. Then began the ascent on foot , which was perilous in the extreme. At 12,000 feet the wind blow a hurricane over the snow and blue-green glacier. Several crevasses had to be crossed , some of which were largo enough to drop n house in. The summit was reached at 4:80 : p. m. Aug ust 10. It is about two miles across. Standing on the top tlio climbers could BOO below them two largo craters look ing like immense bowls with a central common rim. Tlio largo crater is about three-quarters of a milo across. They are filled with i-now and solid ice , witli the rime around the circumference of the bare rocks rising about feisty foot in some places. The steam keeps the rocks bare all the time. Coming down from the summit , where they could hardly stand on account of the wind , they were sheltered in the crater and examined the steura jets , looitinff as it a row 01 ooiiing teakettles were placed along the ridge. They sat on the rocks and were soon damp with moisture nnd parboiled by the heat , and it was necessary to move. At G o'clock Miss Fuller's account of the expedition &ays : "On the east cdgo of the big cra ter wo entered an ice cave between the snow and the rim of the ci'atcrand thcro with steam beside us wo spread our blan kets , which sopmcd light enough now , took oft our shoes , bathed our feet in whisky and began the night. After hav ing reached the summit I began to feel sick from cold , exhaustion and the sul phurous odorand for some time sulTored from a chill and nausea. After vomiting1 I felt all right and ready to enjoy the night. Some of the gentlemen wore very tired and very cold. Eating had no at traction for mo , but some ate a little. Tilr. Smith molted some ice in a cup over the steam , heated the water , dissolved. some extract of beef and served a good hot beef soup for supper. Two "blankets over us seemed little protection for the night. Through the small opening in the cave nbovo wo could watch the stars and meteors and all night long hear the awful avalanches roaring down the mountain sides. I was the only ono for- tunnto enough to bo able to sleep. When wo awoke our shops were frozen still and liad to bo molted in the steam before wo could put them on. The blankets where the steam had been were icy. " The descent was oven moro perilous than the ascent had been , but it was finally accomplished without serious.inis- liap. Miss Fuller's exposure had caused her lips , rose and face to swell badly and the skin peeled off , but bho feels well re paid for what she endured by the novel experience. _ _ Science Overcome * Deafness. Just now the medical world is engaged hu- discussing the new device for deafness called Sound Disc. No invention of late has attracted so much intorosc amonp the med ical profession.
