An Historic Love-AHair.

SAYS the Easton (Md. } Ledger: A val
entine seen by a Ledger reporter, which
was sent to girl in Easton by youth
in Washington, brings to mind the story
of name, and a name of note in Ameri-
can history. The name of the sender of
the missive is Return J. Meigs, and the
same Christian name has been in the
Meigs family for several generations.
Many years ago, in ante-revolutionary
days. Jonathan Meigs courted a young
lady, who rejected his addresses. Meigs
continued to love the girl, and, though
too proud and sensitive to try a second
time to win her, he determined never to
marry any one else, and to live and die
a bachelor, unless she, of her own Volt
ton, relented.
After few years the lady did relent,
or perhaps got to know her own heart
better, and sent a letter TO her former
sutton. Meigs got the letter, and found
in in it only the two words, Return,
Jonathan" 1t was enough. Jonathan
did return, and made her his wife. Their
first child was baptized "Return Jona-
than.n to commemorate the brief letter
that saved the Meigs family from extinc-
ton; and from that day to this there has
been Return j. Meigs in every genera
ton. The sender of the valentine re-
ferred to is the grandson of Gen. M. c.
Meigs, late quartermaster-genera now
retired

STYLES for Spring.


Plain black gros-grain silk is begin

combined with other silk fabrics, nota-
bly, the moires and satin faces. They
are brought out in wide range of
grades and prices, some running as low
as IS cents yard. and from that up
ward to $3.50. They are in all the
colors. The new cashmeres are light
and exquisitely finished. Some are
smooth surfaced and some fulled, so as
to present an appearance of being slight
ly feeced. Others, called imperial serge,
are woven in large diagonals or serge
effects. As these goods, like the nuns
veilings, come in all the light evening
shades, as we'll as the dark street colors,
they are used to an almost unlimited ex-
tent for evening dresses, and will be
popular for dressy street costumes as
the season advances. The most elegant
white wash dresses of the coming sum-
mer will be linen lawn and sheer linen
cambria, soft as India muslin and al
most as transparent
New aesthetic neckerchiefs consist of d
square of pale rose, blue, olive green. or
mauve null, with bright roses, pansies,
and other flowers, printed on them in
exaggerated sizes, but natural as to col
ors.
Among the novelties are looking-glass
beads-tiny mirrors-used on the latest
imported ball dresses. A feature of the
evening costumes of the closing season
were wide striped stains in pale eolors,
alternating with those of gold or silver

A Clever Sheen-Dog.

In the Martinmas snowfall of 1907,
the heaviest of the present century,
flock of four hundred sheep was buried.
Most of them were covered up beneath
walls, or in hollows where they had tried
to find shelter when overtaken by the
storm and darkness. The drifts were
probed with poles in vain. No success
attended the efforts of the shepherds,
until a young sheep-dog took part in the
proceedings. He began to take seri-
Gus interest in what was going on, SMELL
ing the ends of the probing poles, and
shifting at the holes made in the snow.
The final result of this patient puzzling
was that the light broke suddenly upon
him, and he commenced scratching Gag
erly III the snow. While the older dogs
stood indolently by, this young animal
continued to point out the spots beneath
which the sheep were buried, barking
and bowling with delight at every release
of the endangered sheep. AT the end of
the first day, two hundred had been ex-
tricated alive. On the following day,
many others, some living, many dead
were found. But the last sheep did not
come to light until New Years Day. 1t
had remained since November Is in

Took a Header and Down she Went.

A young lady residing on William
street in this city went to a hogshead
under water pipe to get soft water out
the other day. She found the vessel
about two-thirds empty and film of ice
covering the water. Going back into
the house she procured Ratchet, and.
returning, leaned over and into the
hogshead to break the ice. The hogs
head was rather high for the lady's
stature, and she was compelled first to
tip-toe and then to lean her whole
weight on the edge. While in this rath-
or uncomfortable position a harder
stroke with the Ratchet, which sent it
smashing through the ice. disturbed her
equilibrium, the center of gravity was
removed further from the slippers and
nearer to the chignon, and over she
went, crashing through the ice and
souse into the water. It luckily happen
ed that gentleman passing was attract
ed by the sight of two little feet sticking
out of barrel and kicking ike fury.
fastening to the rescue, the lady was
released from her dangerous position,
and ran into the house without taking
time to see who her deliverer was, or to
thank him, and the latter retired, re-
marking TO himself, 4 guess she won't
take cold; her face is too red. "-Nes0
