John came to my rescue as usual
Taking Lilian's hand he led her forward,
smiling as he said:
Do you not understand, Rudolph

And that told the whole story There
were two weddings in October, and
Lillian went with Rudolph to Europe,
while John and I settled down in my
old home, with Aunt Charlotte for our
guest until her own child returns to her.

A REMARKABLE WOMAN. - The old
est lecturer of this, or, indeed, Of any
other country, is, we venture to affirm,
Soiourner Truth, the venerable negress,
who has been before the public more or
less for nearly two generations She is
certainly more than century old, hav-
ing been slave in this State and manu-
mitted in 1917. She delivered lecture
on the present time and the condition of
things in general few evenings since,
at the village of Crawford's, Cayuga
county, before considerable audience
She is tall, rather slender, her head Of
moderate size, hair streaked with gray,
eyes bright, hearing and voice good
Though trife lame, she stood erect for
an hour, and delivered her opinions
marked by shrewd sense and much hui
NOR. She is most earnest for temper
ance, and has better opinion of men
than of women, who, she thinks, are
often frivolous and too expensive lux
uries to be sustained by any ordinary
income At the close she sang song
in tolerable style, and retired with a
certain Unborn grace and dignity. Her
two oldest children are dead but she
has three others-one of her daughters
is so and upward living at Battle
Greek, Michigan This daughter really
looks older than her mother, who might
readily pass for 70 N. 7. Times.
