a Strange Narrative.

The Philadelphia Times prints a
the year 1918, Hiram Fish, young man
living at Rome, in Oneida county, be-
came enamored of Amanda Noble, a
beautiful girl, and his affections being
crossed by friends, he determined to go
West, secure a home, and then return
and claim the hand of his affianced.
He went to Chautauqua county and
settled on tract of 600 acres, where
he soon made an attractive home. He
then started for Rome to claim the hand
of his plighted beauty, but on the way
was captured by Indians, allies of the
British, and taken to Canada, where he
remained prisoner till 1917. On be-
ing liberated he fastened to Rome, ar
irving there late in the day, January
26, 1918. No word having been re-
ceived from him for nearly four years,
and supposing him to be dead, Amanda
had given her hand to James Barns,
and on that day January 26, 1918, )but
little while before Fish arrived, the
indissOluble union had been made. His
appearance at this time created the
greatest confusion. Amanda declared
that she loved Fish and could not live
with Barns. To make the best of an
unfortunate circumstance Barns and
Fish agreed to both live with her as
their joint wife. In pursuance of that
agreement the three, in August, 1918,
moved on to the Fish lands in Chautau-
qua county, about seven miles from the
present town of Mayville, and there
lived together for nearly fifty years,
until the death of Barns, which occurred
January 10, 1864, and she and Fish
lived together until his death, Decem-
ber 20, 1876. Of long life but twelve
years were devoted to the object of her
heart, but those years were of perfect
joy. Since Fish's death she has resided
with her children. She is now in her
sd year. The children were always
known by the neigbbors as ''Fish- and
Barns" In everything a community
of interest was had, valuable improve
ments made, large fortune accumu-
lated, all of which was willed by the
respective decendents to the wife and
four children, according to the letter Of
the agreement made January 26, 1918
1t is said that during this long and
strange life never want was felt in
the home, never domestic misunder.
standing, not even harsh word.

E A sad result of over-study and
excitement in an ambitious school girl
is the sudden illness of Miss Augusta
Hastings, of Reading, Mass, who sud
denly fell on Thursday in dead swoon,
she having been just examined for ad-
mission to the State Normal School.
She has remained unconscious ever
since, and it is not believed that she
will survive. Miss Hastings was
very ambitious scholar, and was over
wrought with intense nervous excite
ment caused by her desire to pass a
successful entrance. For several days
she had eaten nothing but fruit, omit
ting her regular meals, and the present
attack is believed to be snperinduced
by the exhaustion of the vital forces of
the body. Miss Hastings is about lS
years of age, and is of very exemplary
character. Northampton Gazette.

PREMATURE WoMEN.-When girls
midway in their teens throw off their
natural, girlish habits and attire, don
long skirts, skoot up their hair and af-
feet the airs and dress of young women,
they would often be surprised to know
what their elders really think of the
improvements. One such young miss
went to the depot recently to meet an
aged friend of the family, and was sur
prised to find herself not recognized up
on greeting the visitor as she stepped
from the car. f'Don't you know me,
auntie 2" "Why, this isn't Maria, is it 2"
Certainly; don't you think look
better than did last summer when you
were herep NO." replied the honest
soul, looking the girl over, "to tell you
the truth, l don't. Go home and let
down your hair and be young while you
can, for it will not be many years be-
fore you will be glad to have people
take you for girl."-Springfeld Re

September.

The golden-rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest,
In every meadow nook;
And asters by the brook-side
Make asters in the brook.
From dewey lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
But none of all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air,
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
'Tis thing which remember;
To name it thrills me yet:
One day of one September
L never can forget.

During recent drouth in Florida,
the alligaters in the bottom-lands near
the plantation of N. B. Cooke, on the
shore of the Escambia, began depreda-
tions on his live stock. A party was
organized to fight the reptiles. On the
first day eight were killed, on the sec
ond seven, and on the third sixteen,
the largest of which measured ten feet
and six inches. The alligators had bur
rowed in the banks of the bayous, and
it was only by running a boat-hook
down and disturbing their quiet that
they could be invited to the top. The
animal, in every instance, became en-
ragged and grasped in his teeth the han
die, by which he was brought to the
surface and dispatched.

Philadelphia Timesl
The Kansas exodus continues to be
discussed among the negroes of Texas,
and a State convention at Houston the
other day adopted resolutions declar-
mgthat the blacks were deprived of
social and political rights, and favor
ing emigration. The most intelligent
and prosperous representatives of the
race, however, generally frown upon
the project, and there really seems as
little excuse for discomfort in Texas
as in any Southern State. Though it
Is doubtless a fact that the blacks are
sometimes denied their rights. the
presence of nearly a dozen colored
men in the present legislature shows
that they are given a fair chance in
many sections, while the continued
support by Democrats, not only Of
colored public schools, but of a nor
NAL school for the training of colored
teachers, is most convincing evidence
that the great mass of the whites are
disposed to treat the blacks fairly.
