He found his wife in bed, and
fell upon and stabbed her to
death with the knife he'd taken
from her lover. The money in
the bureau drawer he put in his
pocket. The trinkets he car
ried back to the forge and threw
into the furnace.
He had accomplished his
Bloody mission unseen by any
human eye. Thanks to the tenn
pest, the streets were deserted,
while all in the foundry were
too busy with their work to
take note of his movements.

My Dear Standardization
know that some of our class
went to the Institute. Mattie's
ma took her and Fred's ma took
him and Miss Jennie took me.
We started about eight o'clock
and got there about eleven
o'clock. We stopped at store.
When we went to the court
house there was but one man
there, but pretty soon Mr.. Rives
came and made e fire and rurg
the bell; we waited awhile and
nobody came, so we went away.
Matte and | bought some car
dy and we saw q wooden Indian
with a bunch of cigars in bis.
hand and we saw lots Of pretty
things in the stores. We all
got weighed, l weighed 451
pounds. We went back to the
courthouse and ate our lunch
and after awhile Mr.. Rivts.
came again. and rung the bell
and fFe'or six men came. They
wanted us TO read, so we read
"Tae Beaver" "The Kittens
"The Evening Hymn" " and ''Thc-
Fireside." | printed the lesson,
on the blackboard and we
spelled by letter aud sound.
The men asked a great many
questions about us; and pretty
soon we started for home and
got there about sun down.

The Locomotive VS..
Superstition.

When the Nicholas Railway
was built, in 154S, from St. Pc
tersburg to Moscow, the work
was done under contract with
American engineers, and the
cars and engines were sup
piled from Baltimore by the fa-
nous establishment of the Wi
mans Brothers. The Russian
priests oppose every modern In
novation, and, of course, when
the railroad was opened, they
determined to stop it, and so
they went in force to a point
on the road and set up a holy
picture to stop the work of the
devil. The train came slowly
along, and the engineer, seeing
the picture standing on. the
track, thought there must be
man behind. it, and. so came to
a halt. The assembled multi
tude raised a shout, and the
priests called out the saint was
all-powerful and would prevail
against the wicked. The Off
Ger in charge Of the train came
out and took. a survey of the
situation. Then he told the
to run back a quarter
Of a mile and bring the train to
Il halt. The shouting was re-
doubled, }, and the priests were in
The mcst rarmrous delight. But
their exultation was soon chang
ed TO grief as the master Of cell
emonies told the engineer, "Put
on all steam and go ahead with
out regard, to consequences"
The engine went ahead, and
down fell The holy picture, torn
and crushed by the wheels of |
the American locomotive. Mod
ern civilization was triumphant,
lld the priests and their follow
ers no longer shouted in tri-
umrh.

minds US very much OF the Gaffer
IIexams and Rogue Riderhoods Of
the Thames. A drowning man
from the Princess Alice Offered a
boaimar G5 to ssve him. The
latter called out that he "could
not do it for tie price"
"Ill give you 9l0!' screamed
the half drowned man.
Its worth more than that,
Gug'nor," composedly returned
the watermsn.
Fifteen pouuds, them" pant
iugly replied the droNner, almost
with his last breath.
mo, but I'll tell you wot, I'll
save you for 920.'
There was no o'other alternative,
for the boatman evidently meant
what be said, and the victim coI-
sented. He was haul d into the
boat and rowcd ashore, and di-
rectly they got to the land the
baatman demanded. the money.
Said, the late victim:
81 would have given you 95
willingly but since you have shown
yourself such a black hearted vii
lain you shall have nothing"
The toatman swore and storm.
ed but without avail, and all he
could Get was the name and ad-
dress of the man, who said he
might, if he liked, 'take the law
oct of him" The boa.man in
tends to go to law, and be has

man for breach cf contract. A,
