A vicksburg, Miss, paper says
that a negro of that city fell from a
steamboat, was sucked under q coal
barge. came up in time to take
breath before he slid, under a raft
about mile long, and finally ,scram-,
bled ashore at Warrenton, seven
miles below, with the triumphant
remark, "No use -tryin,.; you can't.
drown a deep water Baptis' nohow."'

ridge.
Nobody could get along with
him!" chorused the three other Miss
Darkridges in unison.
Uncle Black was the parsonage of
whom they spoke-a grabbed, i'll
tempered, little old man-who lived
in a superb old country-seat among
the Catskills.
He had money to leave, but his
nieces and nephews secretly believed
that i: would be deal easier to go
to California or Golcondo, or some
of those fabulous places, and dig
fortunes out nugget by nugget, than
to stag at home AID earn them by
making themselves acceptable to m
old gentleman who had as many
angles as rose diamond, and as
many prickly points of temper and
disposition as poreupine.
Naomi Darkridge had tried it
first. Naomi was q soft-roiced.

minded one of a dropping lily.

said Mrs. Darkridge, as she kissed
her daughter goodbye.
But in three weeks Naomi came
back, half frightened out of her
wits.

Naomi. "And he looks at me as
the wolf must have. looked at Lit
tie Red Riding Hood. Oh. mamma,
I couldn't stay there, not if I was to
be made richer than Miss Burdett-
Coutts herself"
Magdalen Darkridge went next;
but Magdalen, although 6ne, tall
girl, with a spirit of her own. was
cowed by Uncle Blacks savage eyes
in less than a week.
"Td sooner sweep crossings for o
living" said she, than to be Uncle
Blacks heiress.
And SO she came home without
loss of time.
Rhoda Darkridge, in no wise
abashed by the successive failures
of her sisters, was the third one to
try Black Grange and its possibii
ties. But she also succumbed be-
fore the terrible sconrge of Uncle
Blacks tongue,
Its scold, snarl, snarl. scold.

Rhoda. as in three days time she
tearfully related her experience to
her parents. "Oh, you don't know

MIR. Darkridge. who was of a free
