Short Sensational Story.

Sophia Saunders searchingly scrutinized

splendidly showed, shapely Stephen, slept
soundly.
Sophia spoke. She said Sarah should
sell stale, sinking soles.
Stephed snored
Sophia spitefully shook Sarah.

Sarah screamed shrilly.
Stephen seeing sweet Sarah's situation,
stealing stealthily, suddenly sqeezed So.
phia's side, saying: "Stop such silly SQUAD
bles, such stupid strife; stop striking
Sarah"
She staggered.
"So," sneered Sophia, Savage Stephen
sneekingly supports Sarah! Seek safety

Stephen, smiling satirically, said: "Sarah
shall sell stale soles, sweet Sophia, shall
she!'
"She shallr' shreked Sophia.
So saying, Sophia Saunders strobe sea
ward, stalking stifly, selecting sloppy
shingle spots. Slackening speed, she sat
| Straightway she sentimentalized.
"See star-spangled sky, see sinking sun
see salt sea; see Sophia Saunders, spinster
Sarah's sister, spurned, sighted, scorned
So Sarah supposes selling stale soles sinful
Sacre! she shall see."
She stood still some seconds solemnlv Sc:
surveying Suddenly she said: "Se
Stephen, so sneaking, so sanctimonious, s,
supremely stupid; see sister Sarah, 81
sweetly seraphic, sweet Sunday schoo
scholar, sublime sinner; see Sophia swim
Stephen, sister Sarah shall sell sweet sole
so shall she starve."
Sarah shuddered.
Stephen sneezed.
Suddenly Sophia sprang, screaming
splashing salt spray skyward.
"Save Sophia, Stephen! see, she sinks,
screamed Sarah.
Sophia's suicide saved Sarah selling sole
SO stale. She Systematically sold swee
soles. She survived Sophia several summe
seasons. Sometimes she sang sad song

Still she staid single, spurning Stephe

The ladies have outdone themselves this year. says
the Every Evening, not only in the much greater

justice in the matter of premiums for names are

no little difficulty that one can find out the names o
the fair exhibitors
In the Art Department, Miss Louie McCrone' Mid

landscape; also, several pencil drawings, among

scarcely be recognized by those who saw
them daily for years. There is fuel in the
shed, food in the house, and little Ned sits
bOlstered in a rocking chair by the street
window. Seeing him there yesterday led
to train of inquiries, and inquiries led to
this bit of writing. You wouldn't know

On his trial at quarter sessions in MAYO,
the defendant developed some of the in.
genlous recources of Patrick when he
chooses to exercise his talent in an endeavor
not to pay. A doctor had summoned a
man for the sum of one guinea, due for at
tendance on the mans wife. The medico
proved his case, and was about to retire
triumphant, when the defendant humbly
begged leave to ask him few questions.
Permission was granted, and the following
dialogue took place: Defendant: "Doc.
thor, you remember when l called on you ?"
Doctor l do" Defendant: "What did

sick, and you wished me to go and see
her." Defendant: What did you say ?'
Doctor: IL said l would if you'd pay me

Doctor: " You said you'd pay the fee, if so
