A Brave Woman.

At about II O'Clock pm, on Tuesday
last, the house Of Floyd Farrar, on
Slate Creek, about three miles from this
city, was broken open by a man, who
seized a gun that stood inside the door,
and as Mrs. FarTar, who was alone with
her family, supposed, was about to
murder them all. Almost frenzied by
fright she caught the gun and strug-
gled to get possession Of it. In the tus.
sic the rufiian knocked her out of doors.
At that moment, happening to remem.
Der that there was another gun in the
house, she called to her son, a lad OF
Ill years, to shoot her sssailant. This
the boy attempted TO do, and inst as he
fired the man swung the woman around
SO that the charge from the boys gun
took effect in his mothers shoulder, in
ficting a terrible and probably a fatal
wound. DR.. Tompkins was called and
found that the shot had not severed the
artery, o broken any bones. The poor
woman now lies In a critical condition,
having lost a great deal Of blood. The
rufian made of with gun number one,
and no trace Of him has yetbeen found.
Mrs. Farrar Is a good, prudent woman,
and bears an excellent character, and
Is universally esteemed by all her neigh
bors. -Nepada Transcript.

An Unsym athletic Editor.

The Rochester Chronicle gives the IN
neXed letter and answer:
l loved a beautiful girl, and she loved me
In return. l only thought OF love and | did
not dream that fate would crush my souls
dearest bepe. That fair girl was all to me.
] held her to my sou as my very life, and
not a thought had | OF the future but twas
Of her. And / knew that she loved me- ms
well, for she had told me so u hundred
times. But Il terrible crash came upon my
joys. My id'l's father was wealthy and /
was poor. He was a merchant. ! only a
humble clerk. When / told him Of my love
he spurned me from his door and babe never
enter it again. o Heaven! what wreck Of
soul was that. Who shall picture the utter
midnight Of the blasted and broken heartg
Who shall tell its wailings and its deep, dark
griefs? All crushed and broken down 1 fed
from the place where my love had grown
up, and in the heat and whirl Of business l
tried to forget my sorrows. What shall |
do?
My dear sir, yours is a very ordinary
case. Many a young man has died of
the liver complaint. That is, he want
ed to live on the old mans money, and
didn't. 1t appears a little singular that
if you ever held her to your soul, which
is a close hold, you did not keep her.
Besides, she told you that she was yours,
Young man, you have made n mistake
that n life will not correct. You have
let her go, You could have stood that
"crash though it had been of worlds
If you two had determined to die like
men. Truly it must have been a "wreck
of soul" II is difficult to say who can
be secured to picture the "utter mid
night" as all tho orators arc planning
out and arranging their hair for the
Fourth. The artists are busy on politi-
cal candidates. There is a young man
on the staff of an Adrian, Michigan,
paper whose flights of rhetoric and En-
ersonian gift of climax has startled a
world from a long and eloquent silence,
who might properly detail the "wail-
ings and deep, dark griefs," if you
could engage him now, while he Is fresh.
If you don't do that, you had better
quietly succunb.

tory kilograms which had been received from

After como general discussion, the Chair
announced that nominations for Vice -Presi-
dent were in order.
When Indiana was called, there were
loud calls for Hendricks, and Senator Nc
Donald arose and said that the mission ofthe
delegation of Indiana, SO far as Gov. Hen
bricks was concerned, ended on yesterday,
as they had no authority to take any action
in esponse to the calls of the Convention.
They did not wish to be understood rs say
ing that the position was beneath LII. Hen.
bricks, but, II he was nominated, the Con,
vention must take the responsibility.
A large number OF delegates urged the
nomination of Mr.. Hendricks, and a vote
being aiken resulted in his receiving 1913

cleared. Quiet being partially restored,
Mr.. Dorsheimer, Of New York, replied to
Mr.. Ewing, In favor Of the majority report,

der protest Of every one Of the Eastern
Democratic States. In conclusion, he de-
handed the vote by States. Mr.. Dorsheim-
er's remarks were likewise greeted with q
mixture Of cheers, Kisses and applause.
Mr.. Voorhees, followed In support Of the

Of the majority report. A call Of the States

A Happy Commercial Family.

In the list Of subscribers to the Cen.
%tennial celebration fund published on
Saturday the name of Harper & Broth.
ers appears as sharper Brothers 4 Co..
In view of the fact that of the original
brothers only Fletcher Harper survives,
and that the firm now embraces about
a dozen sons and grandsons, the newly
extemporized firm name may be sup
posed to mean Harper Brothers and
Cousins" Such a title would not be
more singular than are many things
about this great house. The original
firm of James and John Harper had no
articles of copartnership. Each men,
Der drew what he liked for family sx-
penscs, and the profits of the concern
were always ~reinvested in the business.
No personal accounts were kept after
the younger brothers, Wesley and
Fletcher, were taken into the house,
and the profits still go to swell the now
immense capital. Fletcher, the young
er and surviving brother, used to say
loosely to his brothers hat they cheat
ed him by demanding $4,000 for his adj
mission to the partnership. The part
nership is now limited to the male
members of the families, the daughters
receiving bowers on marrying; thus
the firm is always to remain Harper &
Brothers. The names of the origin.
al brothers are continued with religious
accuracy, 80 that there are several
Josephs, two or three Fletchers, two or
more Johns, ETC., who are distinguished
in the familiar language of their own
counting-rOom by such titles as ''Brook-
Ign Joe" (because he lives in Brooklyn,
"Joe 22d" because of his residence in
Twenty-second street,, "Joe Abner,"
the "Colonel's John" (son of Col. John
Harper, so called, to distinguish him
from Fifth Avenue jack" since dead),
and "Fletch., Jr.," and "Fletch., 3D."
son and grandson of ''the Major" who
is never called Fletcher at all. There
are several other distinctive nicknames
which we do not recall. The first have

Demarest, who does pretty much as he
pleases, abuses the firm, from senior to
junior, whenever he feels like it, and is
one of the best-natured and best hearted
and most popular fellows in the world.
