In an animated discussion of heroines,
Mr.. Roberts, turning to Uncle George
said
"You were kindly inquiring this
morning about my fortune since father
died, but did not tell you one little
episode. Before was fortunate enough
to obtain my present lucrative situation
1 was for time telegraph operator in a
small place called Dryden, and then
heard OF real heroine of whom the
world will probably never hear"
knew what was coming, but kept
my face perfectly composed to listen.--
When the story was flushed, giving
Uncle George sly pinch to keep quiet,
l said:
"What kind of looking person was
the wonderful heroine ?"
never saw her, for although Bays
vile was the next village to Dryden, I
never went there. But she was described
to me as tall, strong and masculine"
" In short, my dear Lion" L said
gravely, she was a perfect Elephant. "
Such a stare as greeted me am GER
tain never came upon Leo. Roberts
face before or since that hour. His eyes
dilated till thought they would pop out
of his dear, ugly face, and his mouth
opened in utter amazement. Finally he
remembered his manners, and gasped
" Pardon me, Twas it really you ?''
"Uncle George" said, twill you be
kind enough to introduce me properly
to Mr.. Roberts? 1 believe he thinks
your niece must bear your name"
With flourish Uncle George arose
and gravely introduced
" Mr.. Leo Roberts, Miss Olive Hud-
son: Miss Hudson, Mr.. Roberts"
After that we could not certainly be
strangers, and Mr.. Roberts come often
to dine with Uncle George.
And one day there was wedding
where the bride was very small, buried
in lace and orange blossoms, and the
bridegroom was ugly and good-natured :
but it was true love match, a fit ending
for the filtration commenced at Dryden

A TELEGRAPH ROMANCE.

LIRST, / must tell you who am and
Il how came to be in the Bayville
Bank in the "wee sma' hours'' one
dreary December night, some three
years ago.
My name was then Olive Hudson and
was seventeen years old that same De-
cember night, and so small that Mrs.
Knights Dolly, who was not twelve
years old, was half head taller than
myself.
We were rich folks once, but father
died and left us very poor. Mother
struggled along in a weary hand to hand
fight with poverty till was sixteen ,and
then died. She had rented two rooms
of Mrs. Knight, widow, also, with two
stalwart sons, an aged father and two
daughters. After mother died L was
adopted by the knights, and, although L
was earning support as music teacher
in the Baysville Academy 1 was like one
of the family when was in my good
landlady's home.
They were all in good position, but
by no means an aristocratic family
John, the eldest son, was in New York
In wholesale sugar-house; Tom was
the night watchman of the Baysville
Bank building, and grandpa - we all
call him grandpa-was telegraph opera
tor of the town, while Mary was mil
liner, and Dolly stayed at the office
sending and receiving messages.
Baysville Bank building was large
granite structure, containing the post
office and bank on the first floor, the
telegraph Office and number of private
law offices on the third floor. In the
basement were postoffice rooms for sort
ing the mail and also the large bank
vault.
knew the building well, for 1 was
fond of telegraphing, and spent half of
my leisure time perched up beside
grandpa while he slept peacefully or read
the newspapers.
And that was the beginning of my
amusement at Dryden, the next station.
The operator at Dryden was wit, and
flashed nonsense to our office when busi-
ness was dull. 1t fell fiat when grandpa
was in the Office, but if T. were there /

A NICE OLD GENTLEMAN.

MICE old gentleman he was; big
LN white walstcoat, low-cut shoes,
bald head and silver-bowed spectacles.
He led in the singing on Sunday eve
ming in the hotel parlor, and sung that
old-fashioned bass in the " Coronation"
and China" in that sonorous p-and-
down style which country choristers
used to practice in accompanying the
big fiddle, and withal had the bland,
benevolent look of good old up-coun-
try deacon.
He was looking around the house"
next night, and stepped in where
some of the boys were playing cards
sometimes where they were talking of
"calls" and " raises" and seeing"
The boys looked little disconnected,
but the old man didn't say anything
till the hand was played out, and one of
the party, under pretence of having an
engagement, winked to the others and
said he must go, intending to break up
till the old man had gone away and
then resume the game. But he had
scarce turned his back when the aged
visitor remarked
Z" wonder he didn't raise we with
the hand he held"
Do you understand the game ?" one
of the party asked, taking a cigar from
his mouth.
" Wall, a leetle; I've seen em play
in on it, and sometimes thought I'd
like to take hand jes' for fun"
So Just so,' said another " "suppose
you try game or two with u.s.
"Wall, j don't mind jes' for the fun

and with good deal of instruction
managed to get through with the game
and won on the penny ante. "Thar,"
said he, " if that feller that's gone had
been spunky and put in So he'd get it
instead of those eight cents, wouldn t

PETER CARTRlGHT.

A MONG the most notable of the
II American pioneer preachers was
Peter Catright, who was born in AM
herst Co., Va, in 1885, and died at
Pleasant Plains, ILL.,, in 1872. When he
was child his parents removed to Ken
lucky, where, about 1901, he was con-
verted through the instrumentality of
an itinerant preacher and joined the M.
e. Church. He was ordained as a Dea-
con in 1906, as an Elder in 1908. In 1912
he was appointed Presiding Elder, and
acted in that capacity GO years the last
forty-fiv in the Illinois Conference
During his ministry he received more
than 10000 members into the church,
baptized more than 10000, and for thir-
ty-three years preached, on an average,
four sermons week. His Fifty
Years Presiding Elder" and his 6 Au-
photography" edited by Rev. w. p.
Strickland, d. D., are perfect store
house of characteristic anecdotes and
"reminiscences. Among these we find
the following:
One day, on approaching q ferry
across the river Illinois, he heard fer
ryman swearing terribly at the sermons
of Peter Cartright, and threatening if he
ever W l6IlJ luO pIcdCncI hClObp3
and he knew him, he would drown him
in the river. Peter, unrecognized, said
to the ferryman:
"Stranger, L want you to put me
across"
% Wait till am ready,'' said the fer
ryman, and pursued his conversation
and structures on Peter Cartright. Hav-
ing finished, he turned to Peter and
said:
Now I'll put you across"
On reaching the middle of the river
Peter threw his horses bride over
stake in the boat, and told the ferry
man to let go his pole.
What for?" asked the ferryman.
swell, you've just been using my
name improper like; and you said if
L ever came this way you would drown
me. Now you've got the chance"
" IL your name Peter Cartright ?''
My name is Peter Cartright."
Instantly the ferrryman laid hold of
the preacher; but he did not know
Peters strength, for Peter instantly
seized the ferryman and holding him by
the nap of the neck, plunged him into
the water, saying:
II baptize thee [splashl in the name
of Satan, whose child thou art"
Then lifting him up, dripping, Peter
asked
g Did you ever pray ?"
"No."
"Then it is time you did"
/" IN do no such thing" answered
! the ferryman.
Splash splash and the ferryman
was in the depths again.
" Will you pray now ?''
The gasping victim shouted "I1l
do anything you bid me-"
"Then follow me-'Our Father, which
art in heaven, p" etc.
Having acted as clerk, repeating after
/ Peter, the ferryman cried:
"Now let me CO."
" Not yet" said Peter. You must
make me three promises: 1st, that you
will repeat that prayer, morning and
evening, as long as you live; End, that
you will hear every pioneer preacher
that comes within five miles of this
ferry and, 3rd, that you will put every
Methodist preacher over free of expense.
Do you promise and vow ?n
81 PROMISE" said the ferryman and,
strange to say, that very man became a
shining light in the church.

Select Poetry.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of PERSONS faults,
Pray don't forget your own,
Remember those with homes of glass,
Should never throw stone.
If we have nothing else to do,
Than talk of those who sin,
Yes, better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he's fairly tried
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults, and who has not d?
The old as well as young
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell of better plan,
And find it works full we'll,
To try my own defects to cure,
Ere others faults to tell.
And though 1 sometimes hope TO be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let US all, when we begin
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember sometimes curses, like
Our chickens, roost at home;
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS.

The success of the leading literary paper Of
the West, The CHICAGO LEDGEk, Is truly re-
markable. Since its Introduction to the read
ing public, SIX years ago, The LEDGER has
steadily advanced in favor, and is now a-
knowledged second to 40 paper of the kind in
the country. Its circulation is national, and
has been obtained through the efforts OF its
publishers to produce a paper of high moral
character, and at the same time sell it at a price
consistent with the present hard times. That
they have succeeded, and well. too, the thon.
sands of readers ofTHE LEDGER scattered from
Maine TO Texas and from Oregon TO Florida
will bear testimony. TIRE CHfcAco LEDGEB
Is IA large forty-eight column weekly paper,
which contains stories both complete and
continued, in each number, written by the
best authors, and a great variety of iniOrma-
ton interesting to every one. The subscrip.
ton price of II LEDGER il only 81 80 per
year, postage paid and it is equal in every
particular to other papers OF the same charac.
ter which sell for s. u year. Three copies OF
valuable paper will be sent to any one who
sends 10 cents and theiI address to The
LEDGER, Chicago, III.
