Once upon a time there lived beside
the Rhine beautiful young lady. She
had lover who loved her, and whom
she loved in return. But, after he had
wooed her-not one year, but three
he asked to marry him; and she, anx-
ious to show her power, merely answer
cd:
"Wait."
IL have waited three years" he said,
"but at your bidding, ] will wait one
more-just one more"
Then he went away and became sol
dicr, and praise Of his bravery filled the
land but the lady was piqued by the
though, that he had been able TO leave
her even a year, and when he returned
she determined to punish him, though
all the time she loved him well.
He knelt at her feet, and took her
hand in his and said
LADY, have come back to claim
You for my wife.
But all She answered was

SEATTLE. December ia oorres-
pendent writing from the northern por.
ton Of whatcom county. near the British
Columbia line, thus describes q sight
witnessed from his home one evening
recently: "a grand sight greeted me on
the morning Of the 9th instant. My
dog was making quite o fuss. which
woke me up. whom I discovered that
there was an unusual light somewhere.
In going to the door. which opens to the
east. l saw Mount Baker lighted up IN
grand style. The whole top OF the
mountain was as plainly to be seen as by
the sunlight, aud nre shot up far above
the mountain top. There did not seem
to be much sun. but shooting far into
the heavens could be seen bright flashes
and huge red sparks. The latter must
have been lava. The time was 3 A. NJ,
and a small light was visible in the day
time" At the same time a light was
seen in that direction from Seattle.

ducing a iour-barrel Sharp's pistol. I'm.
agining it to be unlosded. he snapped
IL off two or three times. The girl said
~ am afraid Of pistols" and wheeled
around as he snapped 1t again. The
pistol was discharged. the ball entering
her mouth aud penetrating the brain,
killing her almost instantly. She wal

mother and brother are almost frantic

A MIser Dies Of Starvation.

John 3. Felly, aged 10, was found last
week at his home in Spencer township,
Harrison county, Ind, lying dead upon the
floor with his eyes eaten out and one arm
and one side frightfully gnawed by rats.
lie was quite feeble, widower, lived
alone, and had been dead a week when his
body was discovered. There was no food
In the house, nor anything to prepare any
from, and the conclusion is irresistible that
the old man died of starvation. He own
ed farm of 100 acres of good land.
Three weeks ago he went to Rothrock's
mill, near by, and asked to purchase some
-four on sh ort credit, but was denied
then the old man returned home to die of
starvation. He was miser and had a
good deal of money hid away.

Too Much Importing.

Secretary Sherman is concerned about
the accumulation of silver in the Treasury,
and has called the attention of the Cabin
ct to it. The pile of silver is going up and
the pile of gold is going down in the Treas
ury vaults. The immense increase in i'm
ports has caused the flow of gold to this
country which was SO large three and five
months ago to cease almost entirely, and the
tide has turned the other way. If the i'm
ports keep up until June to the amount re-
ported in January and February the bal
ance of trade in favor of the United
States will be reduced to very low figure
for this year and the gold accumulated will
be drained away. The Secretary is anx-
ious to get the silver dollars into circula-
tion and use them instead of gold in the
markets.

A WOman,s ingenuity.


A New York lady was returning from a
matinee at Wallack's, one Saturday after
noon, when she had her silk dress near
ly ruined by the spatterlngs from a street.
sweeping machine. She Indignantly told
her friends she could invent better street
sweeper than that herself, and In spite of
their ridicule did so. She had no end of
trouble getting a model made. The work.
men laughed at and imposed upon her,
charging her exhorbitant prices for every
thing. She sent a pattern to tinsmith,
and he sent the duplicate an inch shorter.
The second time he made 1t an inch lon
ger. Then he wanted TO know what the
thing was for, anyway, aud said he didn't
suppose it would make any difference If 1t
wasn't exactly like the pattern. The in
ventor told him to mind his own business !;
when he filed her order she would pay his
bill. At the end of a year from the time
Of her silk-dress mishap the model was
done. She has patented it, and proposes
TO have the lions share in all the profits
for herself. She was n mechanical enthu-
siast when child, and inherited 1t from
her father, who, she says, was constantly
inventing things.
