BAvARIAN BEER DRINKERs-The statistics
of the Military Prison at Oberhaus, in Bava-
ria, contain some curious information as to
the capacity of the Bavaran soldier for beer.
One, an artilleryman, who was discharged for
lung disease, said that twenty quarts did not
exactly hurt him. A second, a mason by pro-
fession, said, II never count up to more than
ten or twelve quarts, but after that it goes
quickly" and third was of opinion that, if
he could get it he would s5 drink twenty,eight
ed Indignantly that he was not drunk, for he
had only had eight quarts; while one regu-
lar habitue of the prison, insisted that he was
no BLACKBOARD, but he did like drinking beer

sive in his hand, and anything but
a look Of pleasure in his counte-
nance; but the lady was equal to
the occasion. With a blush of
maidenly simplicity and virgin in
nocence she cast her eyes on
the ground and remarked: "Dear
mel Pm glad your colonel approves
of the match, but what a hurry he
is ihl | don't think can get ready
so soon, but I'll do my best, because,
of course, love, the commands of
your colonel must be obeyed." The
young warrior was puzzled. "Don't
you see, my darling" he said, "that
this confounded telegram puts a
stopper on our plans? You don't
seem to understand it. He says
peremptorily, Join at once.'" The
lady's bushes redoubled, but with
a look of arch simplicity she raised
her lovely eyes to her fiance and
replied: cit is you, my darling,
who don't seem to understand It.
Your colonel says, plainly, Join at
once by which he of course means
get married Immediately. What
else can he possibly mean?" A
look of intelligence replaced the air
of bewilderment on the young
hero's classic features, and, bestow-
ing aregular feu de joie of chaste
saluteS on her rosy lips, he accepted
the explanation, and was enabled
to answer the colonel's telegram in
forty-eight hours afterward in these
words: "Your orders are obeyed.
We were joined at once.

Governor Duval, of Florida, was

strong, taciturn man. The boy
was a huge youth of fifteen. At
the cabin fire, at bedtime, accord
ing to the custom of putting on a
back log, the old man said, between
the whiffs Of his silent pipe:
"Tab, go out and bring in that
gum back log and put it on the
fire."
Tab went out and surveyed the
log. He knew it was of no use ex-
planning that it was too heavy, nor
prudent for him to return without
having it on his shoulder. His
little sister passing was not sur
prised that he requested her to
bring out the gun and powder-horn,
as a possum or coon might have
passed, or the brother might have
seen bear signs. She brought the
gun and Tab started. He found
the way through the woods into

A KENTUCKY ROMANCE.
Strange Adventures of the on.
spring OF an Illicit Love,

strange Adventures Of the OF
spring OF an Illicit Love.
A special from Sedalia, Mo-,
December 26, contains the follow
ing interesting and somewhat pc
culiar story, the truth of which,
however, is unquestioned:
Leroy Mitchell, aged seventy-fve
years, is a wealthy farmer, who re-
sides ten miles south of Richmond,
Madison county, KY. Forty.two
years ago a child was born which
bore the relationship of daughter
and grand-niece to Leroy Mitchell.
The child grew to womanhood IN
an adjacent county, and became a
noted unlearned rustic beauty. AT
length she married one James
Num-, a very poor man, who
dragged out an existence by per.
forming hard farm labor. Three
children blessed this union.
-Four years ago Num- and his
family started to Kansas. When
they reached SedaJia their money
was gone. Nupn sought farm
work, and Characteristic with his
life, moved from one tenant farm
to another each successive season.
While Mum was yearly getting
lower and lower in the scale Of
poverty, Leroy Mitchell's wealth
grew larger and larger, until his
estate became the largest in Madi-
son county. About one year ago a
cancer developed in his face the
best medical attention failed to stop
its ravages; and death was appa-
rently but a matter of brief time.
His heart softened toward his child,
and he vowed to find her and place
in her hands the estate which was
virtually hers.
Advertisements were sent to va
rious papers in Kansas and Colo
RADIO, but with no rightful response.
Finally one of the columns of a st.
Louis metropolitan daily was called
into requisition. This fell into the
hands Of Mr.. j. W. Christian, of
Dresden, Mo-, who sought an inter
view with one James Mum, who
lived on the Ewing farm, near that
place. They proved to be the long
lost family.
Mr.. Christian at once forwarded
the information to Kentucky, and
last Saturday Mr.. ]. B. Park, at the
earnest solicitation Of Leroy Mitch
ell, reached Dresden and brought
the Num- family to Sedalia, where
he furnished them an entire new
