Flora was 17 years old , pretty and em- dent. , and Mr. Smith , In his peculiar way , was very fond of her. Justin's chief assistant In farm work was his only ion , John , 22 years old. John was as sturdy as his father , but was more sea- .IbIe and generous-hearted. It was a rainy day , and John Smith was Industriously repairing a broken harness. Ho sat on a log In a shed. The gentle patter of rain on the root seemed to hao a soothing effect on the young man , and he alternately whistled and sang snatches of song. Hut his work became monotonous and ho wan feeling a bit lonesome , when Flora entered the shed and stood beside him. She smiled in a roguish way , and kept one hand behind her back , as it she held something - thing she wished to conceal. 'What favor do you want now , Flora ? " asked John , good-naturedly. ' 1 want you to flit the box in the kitchen 'with wood. " "But am I to have no reward ? X rather suspect from your attitude that you have something for me , " ' "I must have your promise that you will I bring In the wood before I wilt tell you , " t "Nonsense ! You know I'll do anything you must go to Florida end help your Uncle Theodore manage his orange grove. You must not leave Florida for four years , or Until Flora Is 21 years old. If you do leave the state before that time , as an unmarried roan , end I can dod it out it you do , I'll disinherit you. "But if you will remain there , as you ought to , until the end of the tour years , you can then marry Flora. I shall be glad to have you , In tact , and you and she can live here on the other farm , and I'll manage both farms , with your assistance , as long as I may live. "You see , I've had a sispiclon as to what might happen , and I've got everything well planned In advance , l3y putting you in Florida , under proper restrictions , and keep- lag a watch over Flora , I shall be able to prevent an untimely elopement. " John know his father well enough to realize that supplications and arguments would be unavailing. "You make it Imost as bard for me as it was for Jacob to obtain a wife , " 'No , not even half as bard. John , for Jacob had to serve fourteen years before he could get the wife be loved. and you've got to wait only four years. And if you'll only promlso not to make a fool of yourself you can remain here and enjoy Flora's society until the four years are completed. " "I must have time to think this matter over. " "You can have ten days , provided you will promise not to marry during that time. " "I tromIse. " t \ - ' H' ' " ; 2" - 1r-T' ? .

" "If you're sure you'll be rewarded , you should add , " "I'll add it , then , Just to plea8e you , " re- tortcd John with a laugh. 'You're so good I'll not keep you waiting longer. " Flora produced a rose , and , as a slight blush swept over her 'fair cheeks. she ' slipped the flower into a button hole of his vesL John caught her bands as she was abaut to step back , and his handsome eyes 'were full of ardor. "This cannot be all my reward , " be said a In a low voice , tremulous with feeling , "Of course it is. Let me go. " The alarmed girl began to struggle and to blush violently ; but the hands that could bold a plow flrmly ( or hours behind a pair of strong horses were fully equal to the % present emergency , "This is the only way to thank you properly - erly , " cried John. as he suddenly drew the girl toward him and imprinted a kiss , "I think you'ro real mean , John Smith , " said Flora , in as Indignant a tone as she could summon. "I know I am , but I can't help it , " lie re- joined. "I won't stay with you a minute longer , " he cried , as he reluctantly released her. "Then I'll stay with you. " Anti ho ran by her side. "I'm sorry I gave you the rose. You'll never have another chance to get the best of me. " "Then I'll take the last chance , Flora , be nine and I'll be yours. " "No , I thank you , " "You don't mean it , " cried the young man Be he caught her and bestowed another kieB. "You are my prisoner , " he murmured tenderly. " 110w can I obtain my release ? " "Only by promising to become my wife. " 'SI promise. " " \'hat's all this kissing and fooling mean ? " cried a rough voice , The young man looked up in a startled lie knew he had been caught by his father , In his haste and rapture as a lover John had thrown caution to the winds and had forgotten that. he might be observed in his act of ardent wooing , "It means that Flora has promised to become - come my wife , " said John , frankly and tear- lessly. "S'ell , I'm sorry to hear it , for I'm afraid it may be necessary for me to make you seek another situation than the one on this farm , " i'epeated Justin glumly. "I think I know what is in your mind , " raid his son , "You probably do. It you think I'm going to give up say hold on the Edwin Smith farm in a hurry , you've made the bIg mistake - take of your life , The will , as neither you nor Flora can have forgotten , left Edwin's farm to be under my control during my life , after which it. will become Flora's prop- erty. It is provided that the only way she can receive it sooner Is for her to marry before she is 1 years old. If she marries before that age she is to obtain the farm outright at once. ow I'm supposed to know , and do know , a good deal more than . you and Flora , and my judgment Is that I can manage the farm my brother left a good deal better than any one else can , at least , until you two are as old and sensible as you ought to be when it is time for me to die , is next to this farm , and a larger and r better farm than Ibis one Is , awl I can manage the two farms together with more Proflt and benefit to all of us than anyone p else can , I've no objectIon to your marrying Flora after she's 21. Indeed , I'd calculated that such a marriage would be the thing to expect , the proper thiog for you both , proP - vided you could wait until the right time. P But nothing sudden or injudicious will be , 0' permitted by me. ' ; ' . ; ow , John , if you'll promise solemnly- . , and I know your word can be depended upon -oct to marry Flora until the day after be ; : it birthday , you can stay here. II not , : I T ; John and Flora retired crestfallen from the old man's presence. During the tea days they bad many serious talks and made such plans and decisions as seemed to them best. On the last day of probation John sought his father. "I've made my decision , I will not prom- lee to marry Flora before she is 21 years old. " "Then you must go to Florida and stay there for four years , or until you may be married-of course you can marry some one else than Flora if you want to-or I 'will disinherit you. " "I will accept your terms and go to Florida. " Justlu Smith was quite surprised , but such was his curious character that be 'was rather proud that John should have taken the course he had. "The boy's a chip of the old block , " he said to himself. "He's got my grit. He'll make a substantial man , capable of running the farms after I'm dead nearly as well as I can run them , " II' The next morning John left for Florida , after a tender parting from Flora , somewhat tearful on her part , it must be confessed. John being absent , it was necessary for Justin to hire an extra man to assist him , and , through Flora's aid , he secured the services of a young , good.Iooklng German. The new band's name , curious to relate , was John Smith , a fact which seemed strange to Justin and was unwelcome to him. "How Is it that you , who are a German , should be named John Smith ? " inquired the old farmer. "You ought to call yourself Johann Schmidt or some such name. " "it is easily explained , " replied John , with a twinkle in his eye. "I was left an orphan when but a little child and the American farmer that biought me up could not dad out my real name , and so be named me after himself , John Smith. " "Well , I suppose it's all right. But I don't exactly like it that my hired man baa the same name as that. of my son. You'll remind me of him too much. I'm afraid. " "But I don't look like your son nor act like him , d I ? " "IC only you'll show yourself to be a smart fellow , i'll forgive you for having an undesirable name , " It aa not long before Justin Smith observed that his new hired man and Flora seemed to be more friendly than is usual between 'the mistress of a house and an empioye , and at times the old farmer felt a little uneasy , but the did not consider it worth his while to warn Flora or remonstrate - monstrate with her , She would not give up such a fine , respectable young man as John , But Flora , strange to y , soon seemed to forget the claims of her first lover and to be Infatuated with the good looking German , bo , in his rude way , could make himself quite agreeable. The suspicious of Justin had finally be. come well aroused , and Flora. noticed that ho was keeping a close watch over her , Iut , as luck would have it , thieves had of late twice visited Justin's garden at the rear of his house and succeeded in securing a number of his best. watermelons , and the farmer had formed the habit of hiding for a time each evening In such places as would enable him to &ee a thief if he should enter the garden or were already in it , One evening Juatin sought the garden as usual , and to his delight saw a man stand- lug rear the middle of It. Justin had a stout club in hi. hand , and , with the stealth of a cat , ho advanced. S\'hen he was within two feet of the back of his vicim he raised his club and cried : "Ah. you rascalt I've got you now. It you try to run I'ii brain you. " flut the flgure did not move , Justin grJd the left arm of the man , and as he pinche'J the loose coat sleeve lie could bear the crackling of straw within It. The seem. . log man was a scarecrow , which John Smith bad placed in the garden Just before supper that day , for the purpose of diverting the attention of Justla while the young man and Flora drove away from the house , Mortified and disgusted , Justin returned to his abode only to search for Flora in vain , lie next walked toward the barn and shouted for John , but the hired man did not appear , Entering the stables , Justin discovered that 'the swift snare that Flora was accustomed to drive wu gone. With an agility surprising In ace of his years he harnessed bi carriage horses and diove to the nearest village at a furious rate. But when be reached the village he was told that the couple had left the horse at. a livery stable and had departed on a train for Albany fifteen mlnutebefore his arrival , For the fist time in his life he questioned whether be was a wise man , In spite of all his precautions the girl would be married before she was 21 years old , and 'would ob' tam possession of the Edwin Smith farm , which he hoped to control as long as he might live. She had disgraced herself , and had also deprived him of the farm , 'whereas It be bad only consented to her marriage to his son the property would at least have been kept in his own family. Justin was forced to acknowledge that he had made a lamentable botch of the whole business. He learned from an Albany paper that the marriage bad taken place on the day the couple had fled , and three days later the happy pair returned home. Justin received them with distant polite- fleas , refraining from all scolding. lie himself - self had acted so unwisely that he felt too much disconcerted to find fault with others. Of course , now that. Flora was legally married , it was'useless for Justin to oppose the stipulations in the Edwin Smith will , and a deed of the farm was immediatel ) ' given to Mrs. John Smith , Her husband at OflCC took charge of the farm , but his wife started on a journey , the destination and object of which were unknown to Justin Smith. Three weeks later Flora returned , and with her was John Smith , the son of Justin. The two , accompanied by a young German woman named Anna Schwarz , whom Flora had hired to be her house servant , entered the home of the old farmer. The sight almost paralyzed Justin with astonishment. "What does this mean ? " he gasped , as he looked at his son. "It means that Flora Is my wife , and that I have come home to take charge of the Edwin Smith farm. " "nut the girl is already married to another - other John Smith. " "Yob are wrong. Miss Anna Schwarz here , I acknowledge , successfuiiy acted the part of a mythical John Smith ti men's clothes , hut it is no longer necessary for her to practice laudable deception for a living. " "But the ceremony was fraudulent , then , and the farni belongs to me still. " "It does not belong to you , for Flora Floringer has been twice married to a John Smith , the second time In a legal way , to myself. The marriage took place in Florida , too , so you cannot disinherit me. " "Well , this beats all I ever heard of , " cried the old farmer , "but I'm so glad to have It turn out better than I could have hoped for that I forgive you. One farm belongs to her now , and hoth farms , after my death , 'will belong to you and your wife , as they should. " ! AYINGS OF IJISMAIICIC. Characteristic Vtterancei , of the Man of Blood and Iron , Of universal suffrage he said : "It Is the government of a house by its nursery. " "Radicals , " said he , "are forever wanting the unattainable , like the Russians , who crave cherries in winter and oysters in summer - mer , " "When I wish to estimate the danger that Is Iik ly to accrue to me from an adversary i first of all subtract the man's vanity from his other qualities. " On one occasion of obedience to his 'wife Bismarck remarked : "It is surprising what a man 'will do to enjoy peace in his own house after having had a thorough taste of war. " Illsmarck was showing a friend around his house some time ago and as he laughingly pointed to the ponderous and forbidding Iron safe In his wife's bedroom he said : "You see , my wife acts as my cashier and let me tell you that a man who trusts his wife with his financial interests has discovered an infallible way to save money. " After the day on which Illsmarck 'was shot at ( May 7 , 1866) ) , by Karl Blind , his wife said : "If I were in heaven and saw the villain standing on the top of a ladder lead- log down to hell I would have no hesitation in giving him a push. " "Hush , my dear , " replied llismarck ; "you would not be in heaven yourself 'with such thoughts as those. " Shortly after Ilismarck bad taken his seat in the first Prussian Parliament in 1849 an opponent said : "You alone in all your party have always treated us with politeness. Let us make a bargain. If we gain the upper hand we shall spare you ; if fortune should favor you , you shall do the same by us , " Bismarck's reply was : "If your party baa Its way life will not be worth living ; if ours is victorious there will have to be no executions - tions , but they shall be conducted 'with politeness - liteness up to the last step of the ladder , " At the close of his omclal career he said to some friends at Friedrichsruhe : "I have seldom been a happy man. II I reckon up the rare minutes of real happiness in my life I do not. believe they would make twen- ty-four hours in all. In my political life I never had time to have the feeling of hap- piness. But in my private life there have been moments of happiness. I remember , for instance , a really happy moment in my life , and that when I shot. my first bare , In later years it gave me pleasure to see my Irrigated meadows and plantations thriving , and at home I took pleasure in my wife and chiidren , " Ilismarck fell In love at a frIend's wedding - ding with the young woman who became his wife , and presently wrote to her parents to ask her hand. The good people were naturally much surprised - prised at a direct attack like this ; they were very simple folk , leading a very quiet life , and they were rather frightened at the reputation - utation for high living which the candidate enjoyed. As , however , their daughter Intimated In discreet terms that she did not look capon the young gentleman with an unfavorable eye , herr von Puttkammer wrote to young l3ismarck , inviting him to come and see them. All did their best at Reinfeid to give the visitor a suitable reception ; Frauiein 'on Puttkarnmer's Parents put on an aIr of grave solemnity , and she stood with eyes modestly bent upon the ground. Ilismarck , on alighting , threw his arms round his sweetheart's neck and embraced her vigorously before anybody had time to tell him that. his conduct was hardly proper and correct. The result was , however , an immediate betrothal. Prince Illsmarck was very fond of telling this tale , and was careful always to finish tb5 story by this reflection : "And you have no idea bat this woman baa made of me.

DUE TO THE MISSOURI'S ' WEAKNESS An inheritance for flnkotn Territory from lown-Tratisterreit to se , , braska t , ' Cisniagilig Course o River-Land Number ovcity , "Did you knew there is a peculiarity in the public land survey near Sioux City which docsa't exist anywhere else in the country ? " remarked George M. l'ardoe , who Is an authority on abstracts and land law , to a reporter for the Sioux City Journal. have two different areas which have to be described by the same township and range numbers , one of them in Iowa and the other in Nebraska , and whenever reference is made to section locations - tions in either of these it is essential to name the state , which is not the case in land des rlptions in general. " The ultimate reason for this condition lies in the fact that hiie the southern part of the original territory at Dakota inherited - herited its township and range numbers either directly or indirectly from Iowa , the original territory of N'cbraska established its own township and range numbers. But after such land nuinberings had been fixed , the Missouri. river changed Its channel near the mouth of the Sioui river , thus changing the original boundary between Dakota and Nebraska , and the Dakota descriptions were retained in Nebraska after the segregation. But Dakota's descriptions were an e - tension of the numherings based on the conditions north of the "correction line , " in Iowa , which runs across the state , atop. ping at the Missouri river , and cutting off the northern ttr of townships in Wood. bury county , leaving 'threo tiers soutk of this "correction line. " qunre ArcnN Ott Curved Snrfnce , The attempt to lay out square areas of land upon the curved surface of the globe must after a while result in an accuniula- tion of errors that require correction. The meridian lines on the earth's surface constantly - stantly approach each other as they proceed from the equator toward the poles , while the range lines , six nibs apart in the west- era system of land surveys , do not approach each other , and therefore there must be occasional adjustments , There are two of these adjustment or correction lines running - ning across the state of Iowa-one In the southern part of the state and the other striking the Missouri river within the corporate limits of Sioux City , betv'een townships 8S and 59. The accumulation of the errors In th distance between these two correction , lines ornounted to about four miies , so tnat there bad to be a jog of that distance in the range lines running north and south. For instance , while the entire six miles of ranno 47 , in township SS , in Woodbury county , lie directly north of the same range In township ST , only two miles of range 47 , in township 59 , lie directly north of the range of the same number below the line , the other four miles lying north of range 48. ow the numbering , which Dakota inherited - herited from Iowa , was that which had been corrected by shoving the range lines four miles further west at the correction line. The first tier of townships that reached the territory of Dakota was 89 , and this was the first in 'which the northern adjustment of range lines was made. Range 48 of this tier straddled the Sioux river near its mouth and was thb' connecting link between - tween the surve ysiems of the two commonwealths - monwealths , Its , western neighbor was In range 49 and ita northern neighbor was in township , and so the numbering progressed regularly westward and northward - ward , until nil over the eastern portion of South Dakota there is a definite relationship - ship with the survey numberings in Iowa. Tite SySteliL and the 1'iisouri , , But. while the system in Iowa could stretch itself across the Sioux river , it could not leap the Missouri-notwithstand- lag the Missouri subsequently leaped the system. Therefore the northeaster portion of Nebraska , up to the Missouri as it ran then , had the independent system of surveys established for Nebraska territory , its range numberings being east or west from what was called the "sixth principal meridian"- Iowa's range numberings being based on the "fifth principal meridian , " located in the eastern part of the state. But along in the later 'GOs the Missouri cut its way across "Sioux Point , " the southeastern - eastern corner of the territory of Dakota. As the channel of the river was to be the boundary between the commonwealths , the chunk thus sliced off of Dakota became a part. of Nebraska. This chunk had inherited Its numbering from the system which Dakota had inber- lied from Iowa. The system In vogue in this state bad crossed the Sioux river , it will be remembered , with township 89 , range 48 , just. north of the corrected line ; but "Sioux Point" would have been south of that poltit if it was extended west , on account - count of the big bend in the Missouri before the cut off , So , then , township 8 $ , of range 48 , in Dakota and later In Nebraska , when it inherited its numbering from township 89 of range 48 , as it did , was four miles Annual 5aia ovord,000 000 Bose.

"Of course the particulars as to roonis , valuebie. locks , windows .antt habits of those living in a likely house , together sometimes with wax impressIons ci keys , etc. , are obtained by 'the spotter , ' a man vlio has nothing to tin with the actual bur. gisry , hut takes ii share in the haul , never- tlicless. A 'spotter' may be anything from a hawker calling at the servant's entrance , the 'gas man' come to take the meter , a Water inspector to see If there is an leakage - age , or sImply the ( for the time being ) do- 'oteth 'foIioer' of one of the servants , "Just a remark about ladders. In large estabiishments I have particularly noticed the care with which all ladders are locked up , whlic just round the corner , perhaps lying in the open , arc the clothes posts used for drying or sun airing the clotht'a from the laundry. Now , It's as easy to swarm up a good square clothes vest to reach a first-floor wIndow , and , when In a hurry , it's it lump quicker to slide down one than a ladder , "I tell you what viii shake the nerves of a burglar as much as anything , antI p'r'aps make lihn tlrop his tools-that Is , kicking against a large sheet of crumpled newspaper - paper carefully laid in the passage. I got ' 'had' that way tnyself once , and made such , a noise that I immediately bolted. "But ii you yerselt is frightened of burglars paying your house a visit , " ho con. eluded confidentially , "thin best tip I can give you is to lay in a little yelping , snap- lush dog-one that will rouse everybody di- rectiy a door or 'intlow is tried-and let him have the run at the house , inside , every night That's the best safeguard there is.
