She Caught Him.

But it is the story of Ursula's courtship,

lavorte child, that the reader shall have as

and kind early in his life wooed lady in
distant town, who had another string to her
bow in the person of village doctor. For
long time she had kept her Lyme lover in
a state of uncertainty, in the hope that she
might draw out proposal from his profess

Griswold determin I'd to have the matter set
tied, and so one day rode to the town, en-

indignant reply; where at the youth bow

To Matthew, dsconsolate at his beautiful
home amid the magnificent grove of elms

east of Connecticut river, appeared soon at-

Popular Names.

Popular names for distinguished persons
originate usually in accident. The Duke of
Wellington is styled the Iron Duke, and q
natural presumption is that the tern, describes
his characteristics. But it is said that when
iron steamboats, were novelty an iron boat
was built and called the Duke of Wellington,
Tom Bowline shortened the name tothe Iron
Duke, and from the ship the name was trans
ierred to the man. Vessel for which he was
sponsor became sponsor for him. Other pop
ular by-words are born of chance. In the cam
vas which preceded the election of General
Harrison, Washington correspondent OF
the news papers writing letter discussing
the probabilities after mentioning the other
aspirants come to Harrison. Give him, he
said, "a log cabin and barrel of hard cider
and he will be content" Instantly the man
ayers took their cue, and the log cabin cam
paign seated the old General in the Presi-
dental chair to die at his post in month.
The correspondent referred to used to relate
that after he had mailed his letter, as he
walked home (he was opposed to Harrson)
he felt he had done mischief lie went back
to reclaim the letter but it was too late. An
amusing book might be made of such curious
beginnings of things, the origin ofwhich the
world soon forgets.

FASHIONABLE PREACHISG.-As he was
ascending the pulpit steps, one of the elders,
button-holed him to whisper an additional
caution.
The liquor dealer has just come into the
church, and he gives us lift sometimes. l
wish you would be particular not to allude
10 the whisky business or the temperance
question"
The young minister, getting fairly frigh-
tened to see the moral ground thus steadily
narrowing before him, inquired;
"Whom or what shall / preach against,
then?
The elders reply came like an air of tri-
umph.
"Preach against the MormOns; they hav-
en't got a friend in town.

Training Colts.

The best trainer of colts | ever knew new
er allowed the whip or spur to be used while
the horses he trained never needed the whip.
Their spirits were unbroken by seyerity,and
they obeyed the slightest impulse of the
voice or rein with the most promptitude.
This horseman always claimed that it was
with horses as with children, if accustomed
to beating they will not obey without it, but
if managed with untiring gentleness, united
with consistent aud equal firmness, the vic
tory once gained over them was gained for

An old law passed in 1907, by the Leg
islature of Pennsylvania, has been revived
in Norrstown. Andrew Hargel, German
baker, residing in that borough, was brought
before magistrate recently, charged with
selling bread by the loaf. Two prosecutors
had bought bread of him and he lad sold it
as all bakers sell, not deeming that there
was upon the the statute book a law which
made his act an indictable ofltnie. The law
referred to provides among other things, that
each and every loaf of bread made for sale
shall be sold by the pound ayoidupois, and
provisions for carrying out the law, ,infcting
a penalty of $40 for every violation of the
law. The defendant was held for trial at
court,

Select Story.
STORY OF A MAD LOVER.

Do people often wonder at their own hap
piness? Certainly / was wondering at mine
as | sat alone in my pretty drawing room,
resting back in my chair allowing my Ber-
lin work to fall unheeded on my lap, while
my eyes wandered here and there, surveying
with fond pride my possessions.
Many OF the pictures on the wall, the
bronzes on the mantel, the clock, a chair
here and there had been by bridal presents /;
and as only one short year had passed since
| came to my kingdom, had no time to get
weary.
A year ago, had then thought myself a
happy girl. | had yet to learn the full hap
piness which comes to every loved and low
ing wife but had especial cause for graft
tude in fact which might present pain.
Before met Will, my husband, ! had
been engaged to young man, by very
few years my senior, when some one dis
covered that his father and grandfa pr be-
fore him had died inmates of hpatic
asylum
My parents Immediately broke off the en-
gagement, and | was too sensible not to bow
to their decree. For time | was very mis-
erable but soon after met Will and learned
that into his keeping had passed the one
true love Of my life, and he had it so tenderly
so sacredly, that soon there was not even a
scar to mark the old wound.
But tears came freely to my eyes, nor did
viii reproach me with them when some six
months after my marriage, l learned in the
full flush of my happiness, that Victor
Struthers's sad fate had overtaken him, and
that he, too, had followed in the steps OF
those gone before; that never again the light
of reason would shine within his eyes or the
words of love he so well knew how TO utter
fall from his lips.
