A STORY OF A WATCH.

Thlrty-one years ago a gentleman, now
occupying a prominent place in Masonic
circles in this city, then residing in an inte-
rlor county Of the State, sent an order to
London for the manufacture of fine gold
watch. During the following year the
watch, costing $400, was received, and was
carried by its owner for the next nine or
ten years. In 1861 a friend started for this
city on a visit, bringing the watch with him,
since which time nothing has been seen or
heard of him, the suppOsition being that he
was murdered and plundered by some of the
hard characters that were so prevalent here
at that time. The missing man had abun-
dant means, and left behind him a piece of
mining property worth $4,000 or $4,000.
The owner of the watch mourned the loss of
his friend and regretted the missing time
piece, and, after some years, moved to this
city, where in time the above incidents be-
came to memory as a dream. A few days
ago he was cOnversing with a friend in a
jewelTy store, when a stranger stepped up
along side OF him, laid a watch on the coun-
ter, and asked the proprietor to purchase it,
and, to the astonishment of the whilom in
terror resident, he recognized at the first
glance the timepiece he had lost twenty-one
years previously.
Subsequent investigation revealed that
long about 1862 gentleman of this city
had purchased the watch of a man, possibly
one who had murdered the visitor from the
interior, for $3.50, and had carried it up to
the day of his death, which occurred in Tue
son, Arizona, about year and half ago In
the settlement of his estate the watch was
appraised at the low valuation of 1925, and
the sister of deceased, knowing it to be val
liable, took it as portion of her interest in
the property. The original owner gladly
bought it of the lady.-Sdn Francisco Chroni-
Gle.

THE MARYLAND PILGRIMS

Westernport, pleasant little town in Al
legany county, Nd, about half mile from
Piedmont, w. Va, celebrated recently the
anniversary of an event in which all true
Marylanders should feel patriotic interest,
but which is rarely hOnOred by public OBJ
servance. The 24Sth anniversary of the land
ing Of the Maryland pilgrims is an occasion
worthy of commemoratiOn. Whatever differ
ences of opinion may exist as to the causes
which led to the peculiarly liberal spirit
which characterized the charter and early his
tory of Maryland there is no dispute rs to the
fact that they were both marked by hber-
ality and charity in word and deed strlkIngly
at variance with the narrOwness and ntOl-
erance of the age. There can be but little
dissent from the opinion that to George CAL
vert. the first baron of Baltimore, and his son
Cacilus Calvert, belongs the glory of provId-
ing in Maryland a shelter to the oppressed
of every faith and every nation, and that the
25th of March, 1854, when the Maryland pill
qrims landed on the Island of st. Clements,
marked the beginning of new and import
ant chapter in the history of political and
religious liberty. The glory of the ancient
city of st. Marys has long since departed,
but there is much appropriateness in the
suggestion that the memorable spot where
religious liberty first became reality"
should be marked by some fitting monu-
ment to the honor of those who established
the first real asylum in the new world for
the men of every creed and condition.

A WONDERFUL BIT OF LACE.

The demand or the "rage" for old lace
abates not and will not so long as any time
stained variety is to be found anywhere.
Mr.. $3.50, rumaging among the attic cob
webs, found two window curtains of the
inner, fall-away, woolen kind that had been
in use years before. They were trimmed
with lace-about two yards on each. An
open blind had admitted the sun upon the
lace Of one curtain, by which it was turned
to ancient hue. Mr.. $3.50, base and practical
joker, quickly transferred the lace to his
pocket. Making purchase at fashionable
store he put the attic lace in the marked
wrapping paper and presented it to Mrs
$3.50.
Twas great day. The neighbOrs were
called in. One thought the lace was like
that worn by Catharine de Medici when her
son, with five pups in a sling tied about his
neck, received the Netherland envoy that
asked for protection against Philip of Spain.
At all events the lace was old by centuries
and became the wonder of kettle-drums. But
day of reckoning came for the lace impOs-
tor. In search for patchwork material the
mate to the curtain came to light. We
dwell not upon the consequent rumpus, but
the fact remains that it does not matter so
much what thing is as what it is thought
to be.

STATE OF WASHINGTON SOCIETY,

SlhI q Or EASEl MUM SONlb
From the reports of the special correspon-
! dents we are able TO condense comprehen-
! sive review of the state of society in Wash
! ington. Luncheons and teas" scarcely
| hold their own against the determined rlv-
airy Of "coiiees,n TO which best families are
largely devoting themselves this winter
when departmental duties do not press.
Debutantes are reasonably easy on call,
though there has been, in certain circles, an
eflort to run corner. The supply of male
| escorts is quite equal TO the demand for mid
dlInGs, but some disappointment is felt on ac-
count OF the non-arrival of a cargo Of assorted
| Counts consigned to commission firm in
Washington and expected to arrive via New
York III bond. Fears are expressed that the
tariff commission may make this commodity
dutiable in retaliation for the prohibition of
American cotton seed oil by Italy and
American pork by Germany. The French
article is no longer quoted, the imports hav
ing almost entirely ceased Awaiting foreign
arrivals, and partly on account Of the uncer-
talnty attaching to the appropriation bills,
quest, though some dealers are unwilling to
part with present holdings at a sacrifice.
These holders are confident that the appro-
priationS Will be magnificent and that sundry
subsidy enterprises, now regarded as imp0s-
sible, viii command the patriotic endorse
ment Of Congress.
Old maids are glut, there being scarcely
any demand for them except for the gilt
edged variety, and these only from second
class clerks. Legation ladies are stiff and
not largely dealt in. Few deals in boarding
house keepers are reported except by COM
mittee clerks, the business being considerably
cut up of late years, and prime article of
Western heiress being had with about the
same effort. Down East school-marms, once
a tavOrlte stock, are generally refused now
for the Southern belle of fast recuperating
fortunes. Widows prime to choice, seller
30a60, have advanced few points over
previous quotations in consequence Of a visit
from territorial delegation.
The general tone, though not buoyant,
cannot be said to be greatly depressed, as
the bears would have it believed. Balls, in
fair quantities, are on the carpet, and in
formal gatherings, as compared with the
supply of other seasons, almost hold their
own. There will be greater activity as the
season advances.

BEAUTIFUL EASTER CARDS,

With regard to Easter cards, those en-
blematic of the Passion and Resurrection
are still in case or in course of making. At
the wholesale card houses the writer saw
few specimens of American handiwork in
Easter cards that viii soon be in the re-
tailers' windows. They excelIed in beauty
of design, taste and execution many things
Of the kind introduced heretofore The
prevailing colOTs or shades are steel, laven-
der or lilac for the background, with white
bold red, virgin blue and gold tints for the
foreground and middle of the picture. A
device takes the form of twelve blades
forming fan shape, each blade being deco
rated with angels and viOlets A silver but
terfy on a tiny scented pillow of maroon
silk, resting on a white card fringed with
bronze, is another design. On the back of
the card is inscribed, "An Easter offering.n
Among the simpler designs seen was a lilac
card with Christ has risen in red and
gold letters. A garland of pansies sur
rounding a gayly colored butterfly on dark
background is another expression of quaint
taste. Very simple-lOoking is a large steel
gray card with ornaments Of pansies and
passion flowers.
English Easter cards for the most part
present the same cOlOrings seen in those
produced here, but are less elaborate The
lily and sunfOwer are frequently used,
while figures robed in medieval costumes,
with ecclesiastical surroundings, are very
popular with the designers. Apple blossoms
and sprays Of bluebelI flowers are used lib
orally also. One beautiful English card
seen by the writer presented dark
ground on which was Gala lily another
showed a sunhower, the centre presenting,
instead of the black disk, q series of circular
pictures pOrtraying scenes in PASTORAL life,
conveying the sentiment Of peace, Joy and
simplicity. Another beautiful design repre-
sants a dove, two-thirds life size, flying
through the skies toward the Easter dawn.
signiied by rainbow, and beneath are
the words, " Yet shall ye be as the wings of
a dove"
Very interesting are the German cards.
One in particular, which arrived recently
from Berlin, is worthy of notice. 1t is not
too large to be carried conveniently, and vet
contains a world of wonders that at first
sight are not apparent. On the face of the
card is landscape "a magnifying glass

TWELVE DITTO GRINDsToNEs.

Some years ago, an Austin merchant
whom we will call Smith, because that was,
and is, the name painted on his signboard,
sent an order for goods to New York firm.
Smith belonged to the old school. He kept
a very extensive general store, had plenty
Of money, kept all his accounts in a pocket
memorandum book, and didn't know the
difference between double entry book-keep-
ing and the science Of correlative hydro
states. Among other things he ordered
were twelve gross assorted clOtheS-pins,
twelve ditto grindstones. When he ordered
grindstones he meant to order an assortment
OF twelve grindstOnes. The shipping clerk
of the New York firm was astonished when
he read the order. He went to the man
ager and said "For Heavens sake! what do
they want with twelve gross, ,723-grind-
stones in Texas ?" The manager said il
must be mistake, and telegraphed Smith,
:" Wasn't it mistake ordering so many
grindstones?"
Old man Smith prided himself on never
making n mistake. He had no copy of his
order to refer to, and if he had he would
not have referred to it, because he knew he
had only ordered twelve grindstOnes. So
he wrote back: "Probably you think you
know my business better than 1 do. al
ways order what l want, and want what
order. Send on the grindstOnes" The New
York firm knew Smith was little eccentric.
but that he always paid cash on receipt of
invoice, and was able to buy dozen quarries
full of grindstones if he cared to indulge in
such luxuries, so they filled his order as
written, and chartered schooner, filled her
full of grindstOnes, and cleared her for Gal
weston. They wrote to Smith and said that
they hoped the consignment of grindstones
by schooner would keep him going until
they could charter another vessel. Smith
sold grindstones at wholesale and at low
figures on long time, for some three years
atterward.-1Gras Sittings.

THE STORY OF HAT,

Poor Philip VanderdOnk! All his life he
had toiled, and saved, and scraped, and
pulled every string that had dollars at the
end of it. And now all his hard-earned
wealth was gone, and great, hateful, in
terest- eating mortgage spread its black
wings over all that he owned and loved on
earth. He sank into chair, and folding his
arms upon the table before him, bowed his
gray head upon them, and groaned great
grOans from groansville, groan county. His
heart seemed breaking
" Did you mortgage the farm ?" asked his
wife, anxiously, stealing softly to his side.
Yes" he groWled; both FARMS and sold
the wood-lot"
And did you have to mortgage the town
house, too?" she asked, with quivering lips
and glistening eyes,
"Oh, yes, said the man in hollow tones,
"Oh, yes, and sold all my stock in the rail-
road, and hypothecated what I had in
grain"
And was it enough?" she asked, trem-
bling with eagerness. "Was it enough ?'
Not quite" he growled; and then as he
saw the CHASTITY pallor OF disappointment
spread over her face, he added, but the
milliner let me have it on ninety days time
for the balance, at eight per cent
And you've brought my new hat home,
then?" she caroled joyously. "Oh, Philip,
you dear, old duck"
" Well, no, not all of it," he said. L
brought the plume and one of the bows
down with me in the express, but the hat
itself is coming down on fat car"
And the next week after that, eleven
dark-brOwed men who sat behind Philips
wife at the theatre, waylaid the wretched
man on his way home, hauled him off down
an obscure street, rolled him up in a wad,
and stopped up a new sewer with him.

WEDDING A CENTENARIAN.

The story of romantic marriage comes
from Shippenville near Oil City, Pa. On
Saturday last the Rev. DR.. Heron united a
pair who met for the first time when they
joined hands before the officiating minister.
The bridegroom was Col Camp, a veteran OF
the war of 1912, and who lacks six months
and 81 days Of being 100 years old, and the
bride was Mrs. Rich, a widow, aged u. The
bridegroom is a man of wealth but in his
dotage, and his relatives had been looking
around for some one capable of caring for the
old warrior for the balance of his life. They
selected Mrs Rich, and the widow of ~
agreed to take the old gentleman, old enough
to be her father, for better or for worse, the
consideration being that the Colonel should
leave her well. fixed. The couple were
brought face to face as soon as the arrange
ments had reached the stage of sending for
the parson, and it is said they took very
kindly to the plan for their mutual benefit.
