MOST ALWAYS THUS.

About mid-afteruoon the cry OF
''runaway-look out ~ was started
on Michigan avenue, pear Cass ST.,
by a dozen persons, a young man
with the peach blossoms of the coun-
try on his cheeks and his pants
tucked into his Uoot-legs had just
came out of q harness shop, and see
ing the runaway horse coming down
the street he dropped the horse col
lar off his arm and made dash for
the flying animal. Just how 1t
happened no one could say. but
horse and man and sleigh were all
piled up in heap the next moment,
and from the mass issued q string of
yells as it did not seem possible one
man could utter. The crowd sep
arated one from the other after
while, and the man appeared tr
have been dragged through several
knot-holes and then run through
threshing machine. Some wiped
the blood off his ear, while others
hunted up his broken sus"ender'
and missing boot-heels, and when
he got his breath he said
'tOh, l don't care about these few
scratches. Where are the ladie:
whose lives 1 saved ?"
"There was no one In the sleigh, .
answered one of the crOwd-"no
one but a sack of buckwheat and
quarter of beef, and they are safe. "
"Didn't l rescue anybody :" d.
manded the young man.
"No ; but you are a hero just th'
same"
"I'Jl be tetotally mashed If

pected. Only one thing was want
ing and that was tho young man
| who was tearing out his hair in the
snow bank. Every one knows the
prejudices existing against postpon-
ed marriages and the bride wept,
but without avail, though her tears
were warm enough and copious
enough to have thawed the snow for
twice the distance.
Among the guests was telegraph
operator, and in happy moment
he was struck by bright thought,
and he lost no time in communicat.
ing 1t. Distance should be oOlitera-
ted and the couple should be mar
ried by the aid of telegraph. The
guests We're delighted with the sug-
gestion, the BRIDES dubious, but at
last she consented to make the ex-
pertinent. Fortunately the tele.
graph office was nOtfar distant, and
tho wire was soon stretched to the
house, while the operator got his
instl uments IN order and made o
connection.
The young man was notified of
what had taken place, and instruct
ed to conduct himself accordingly.
He was u little dazed by the scheme
but soon recovered, and, taking his
place al the side of the operator in
the station, be announced that he
was ready for business. The min
lister made the service as short as
possible, but the replies came very
readily, and were awaited with
breathless interest by the assembled
company. 1t was a curious scene,
aud when at last the minister an
nOunced "what love (he was Uni
tarian) and the telegraph have join
cd together let no man put asun-
DER" there was an enthusiastic
round of applause.
The young man was not there
and yet he was married. The girl
was not within forty miles of the
man she loved, and yet she married
him. 1t was the triumph of science
over difficulties, and when finally
the snow was cleared away and the
husband and wife met for the tirst
time, we doubt not that everything
was as satisfactory as it would have
been had their hands been clasped
when they were mads man and
wife.-Rochester Democrat.

That she did not entirely dis

Christmas day, and every prepara

ceremony, Of course, was 70 be per-

and toe day before Christmas the
expected groom packed his dress

scene in which he was to play 50
important part.
But occasionally the best lain

the risk of being caught by the ruff

But before / could move step
the trap door fell with bang, and

with two, if not more burglars.
There was a horrible silence.
But for the support the wall gave
me, I would have sunk to the
ground. Directly one Of the ruff
ans tried TO light q match. heard
the scrape on his boot and saw the
fame for moment; but Fortunate
ly the wind blew it out. The en-
minent peril gave me sudden
strength. To attempt to raise the
trap door from below, was impossi-

OF escape was through the window {;
and toward it fed as swiftly and
noiselessly as possible. l remember
that an empty vinegar barrel stood
almost directly under it. On this |

the nearest burglar discovered me,

Quick as flash l was upon the sill,
and out of the window. and had run
around the house to the front en-
trance. The door, to nv surprise,
was wide open, and flood Of light
streamed over the stoop. But did
not stop to think why this was so.
Breathlessly I rushed in, and as
breathlessly fed into the parlor,
where the first thing l saw was

did not faint. But forgetting every
thing but my happiness and sense
of relief in cousin Sans presence,
flung myself into his arms, saying
''Sam dear Sam - and / know not
what else beside.
My story, you see, is told. In
minute or two cousin Sam started
for the cellar, but the burglars had
taken the alarm and fed. Then he
explained his presence. Fe was re-
turning from the fair, and seeing
lights in the house, and knowing
that robbers were about, he stopped
to ask us if we were afraid. All
tl.is he told with his arm around

circumstances, would have done

Cousin Sam soothed me and kiss

how much he loved me. But he
tells everybody to this day, that I
proposed to him and not he to me.

TWO TERRIFIED HUNTERS.
Chased by an Enraged Maniac ON
whom They Fired.

lNtW fOfk 6uu-
Two Vermont hunters, John Simmons
and William Shegan, aver that they met
with strange adventure day or two
since on "Pine Cabble Peak" just east
of Blackinton village, four miles north OF
North Adams. This pine-capped peak
was, some years ago, the resort of wild
animals, and of late it has been seldom
visited. The story of the hunters is that,
while hLnting in the vicinity of this
mountain, they heard slight noise near
a rugged cliff and saw huge, hairy OBJ
iect, apparently half man and half beast,
spring from behind the cliff and start
for the woods, running with the speed of
the wind Mistaking it for wild ami
NAL, one of the hunters fired at it. The
shot appeared to take effect in the arm,
for, with scream Of pain, the creature
halted, tapped the wound, and, turning,
charged its pursuers who, with empty
guns in hand, dared not measure strength
with such foe. Dropping their guns,
both sought safety in flight, and stopped
only when compelled to do so for lack Of
ability to run further. The men say that
they are positive that the creture resem-
bled man in it's general appearance. 1t
was wild-eyed, and very fierce in its dis
position, Judging from the short time
they saw it.
The hunters story revives a long-for-
gotten but now distinctly recalled yarn
to the effect that many years ago lu-
matte, then young man, escaped from
his keepers from somewhere near the New
York State line, and gained the noun
tain fastnesses, where he evaded pursuit,
and, it is thought, subsisted on berries
and the flesh of animals killed through
some means best known to himself. Sew
eral years later strange creature. an
swering the description of the being re-
Gently seen, with the exception of the
grizzly beard, was discovered by party
of children who were berrying on the
mountain, and it is thought that this
may be the same.
The hunters say that they are positive
that it was no optical illusion, but gen
uine wild man, and very fierce one Al
that. The creatures arms, they say, were
long and hairy. and looked very mucl
like full-grown gorilla. They aver tha
it ran with remarkable swiftness, all the
time uttering loud cries, as though il
pain and enraged. They declare that il
was only by their utmost .exertion tina
they escaped their pursuer, and they Say
that there is not money enough IN Massa
chusetts to hire them to again venture
across it's path.
There is talk of organizing an armet
force in Williamstown to 60 in search o.
this creature.

economy tends to the degradation of the
merchant service. Some months ago an
American bark wis wrecked in West Indi-
an waters, and when the crew was picked
upit was found that no two members
spoke the same language. 1t was as if
q detachment of labOrers from the Tower
of Babel had been told off to man a
vessel. Merchants, underwriters, and
our political economists are all interested
in changing this state of affairs. Our
pcpulousness has reached a point where
we can well afford to contemplate the
employment of our surplus muscle on
the high seas. 1t may be that the Amer
ican sailor as an institution, has been
bowed out of the clone empire Of the
sea, with its spacious solitude and sad
gray Boundaries" and that his CHEEKY
"Hi-ho" is as thoroughly lost to the
waves as is the song of childhood to the
streets of Baalbek; but let us hope for a
resurrection in the nautical school and in
the legislation at Washington, which
must come with wisdom and experience.

The American ship newspaper, of New
York, says the annual examination Of
the Nautical School of the port of New
York, by the council appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce, was held on Fri
day on board the school-ship st. Mary's,
at anchor in the East River, off South
Ferry. On board this New York school
ship at present the boys are given che
same common school education that they
receive on lind, United States officers
being detailed to act as superintendents
and instructors. One hundred boys are
now ranked in the classes, though there
is abundant room for one hundred more.
Should the dav come when our ships
again whiten the seas with their sails,
there will be a demand for intelligent
and disciplined sailors.
The discovery of petroleum has broken
up the school of the whaler, and since
our navy was regulated to peace basis,
there has really been no opportunity for
the development Of our really national
nautical talent. Two things now mill

has abolished the demand for disciplined

taken on board on the day Of sailing and
are paid off and put ashore on the day Of
