What She Asked Tommy.

He was named Thomas, and she was
named Jane. They sat on hotel bal
cony yesterday for three long hours,
and giving themselves dead away as be-
ing out-of-towners. AS they sat down,
Thomas took one Of James hands. She
allowed that sort of thing to go on with
out word Of protest, and the flaxen-
haired youth finally seized the other one
They talked and talked, and looked
down upon the street, and sighed, and
the hours slipped away. At the end OF
the third hour she said:
I" Tommy, dearest, want to ask some
thing"
ASK me a hnndred-a thousand-a
million thingsp' he exclaimed in reply.
Well, Tommy, I've gotan awful cold
in my head" she continued, "and, if [
drew one of my hands away and wiped
my nose, would you think | was mad?
Eve either got to do that, Tommy, or let
my nose wipe itself. Just one wipe,
Tommy, and then you may have it
back"
Tommy released her hand, though
he hated to, and her nose was softly and
duly wiped. Detroit Free Pres.

An Editors Appeal.

As the report that we are very wealthy
has gone abroad among our subscribers,
and has made them awful slow about
paying up, thinking, doubtless, we don't
want the money, we hasten to say the
report Of our wealth is false in every
particular. If ocean steamers were
selling at a cent a dozen we couldn't
make the first payment on canoe.
The lightning of poverty has struck us
square, and had it not been for an
armful of hay our devil managed to
steal from blind mule, our large and
interesting family would be without a
mouthful to eat this moment. Is not
this sad picture, and can you, delin-
quent subscribers, look upon it without
feeling the greenbacks rustic with in
dignation in your pocket books? We
do no. like to dun, but we must if you
fail to take the hint.-Stenanloah (Va. J

Women in Time of Danger.

Miss Jennie Frost, Of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, who had a marvellous escape
from the train that was wrecked recent
ly on the Rock Island railroad, relates
that one woman heroically rescued her
six children and then went to the aid
of other sufferers, while another lady
was terribly exercised over the loss of
her satchel, and could think of nothing
else. One lady, who was in agony from
8 broken wrist and compound frac-
ture of one of her legs, would not con-
sent to have morphine injected into her
arm because she feared it might hurt
her. Another lady who was severely
injured was offered a glass Of brandy,
but refused to swallow it, stating that
she was a strict temperance woman,
and meant to stand by her principles,
even if she died in the attempt A lit
tie child chung to a window sill, and
kept her head above the surging waters
until she was saved. A little girl lay
for four hours with only her face out of
water, the corpse Of a man being
stretched across her little body 1t was
supposed that she, too, was dead, but
the man who was chopping out the
wounded thought he saw the little ones
lips tremble. She was taken out covered
with blood; her little stockings as red as
if they had been dyed, and in a few
hours she was as lively as cricket, ask
ing If anybody had seen her doll.

FREAKS Of LIGHTNING.

The Mason City (Iowa) Republican.
gives the particulars of the narrow es-
cape from lightning of Hon. Louis Case,
bank examiner Of that district:
Last Sunday night Hon. Louis Case,
of Waverly, on his way to this city,
stopped with his nephew, E. S. Case, of
Greene In the night thunder bolt
struck the house and entered the bed
room where Lou was sleeping, tearing
away the plastering in whole sections,
from thence striking the bedstead,
which was high one reaching nearly
to the ceiling, running clear around the
frame work of the bed, tearing it all to
pieces, dropping the bed with Mr.. Case
on it to the floor. Strange to say,
among the wreck of the bed, the room
and bureau that stood in the room, he
escaped without further injury than
slight shock When he went down to
the floor he says he realized that he
was falling, and the impression was
that the floor had given way and the
whole house was falling down on him.
The room presented a fearful picture
of ruin In the drawers of the bureau
referred to was quite an amount of
jewely of the family Every bit of it
was melted and run together 1t is
miraculous that Mr.. Case escaped alive
from the bolt and the destruction that
reigned around him.

An eminent British statesman is said
to have traced his own sense of the sa-
credness of a promise to u curious les
son he got from his father when he was
II boy. When home for the holidays
and walking with his father in the gar
den, his father pointed to wall which
he intended to have pulled down."
"Oh, said the boy, Il should so like
to see wall pulled down"
:. Well, my boy, you shall" said his
father.
The thing, however, escaped his mem
DRY, and during the boys absence a
number of improvements were being
made, and among them this wall was torn
down and new one built up in its
place. When the boy came home and
saw it, he said:
"Oh, father, you promised to let me
see that wall torn down."
Instantly the father remembered his
promise, and was deeply panied to think
that he had seemed careless about his
plighted word
MY boy" he said, "you are right, ]
did promise, and | ought not to have
forgotten. 1t is too late now to do just
what [ said l would, but you wanted tc
see a wall pulled down, and SO you
shall"
And he actually ordered the masons
up and made them pull down and re
build the new wall, that as nearly as
possible his promise might be made
good.
:" 1t cost me twenty pounds" he sale
to a friend who was bantering him abou
it, " but" he said, if it had cost hun
dred | should have thought it CHEAP
way OF impressing on my boys mind al
long as he lives the importance q
man of honor should attach to hi
plighted word"

"1'ell him send his bill in LIST Janu-

dodge the issue.
Mrs. S., however, was inexplorable,
and Spicer rolled out of bed, crawled
into dressing-gown and slippers, turned
up the gas and began a search for that
cunning fiend, the solitary mosquito,
who always survives his companions
and lays in wait to harass the unhappy
householder sometimes far into the
winter.
Spicer commenced the hunt in the
regulation manner, by walking about
the room atowel in his hand and his
eyes fixed upon the ceiling. AT the
third stride he trod upon the rocking
chair, which responded promptly with
