HOW SENATOR RANSOM STOOD THE
HEAT,

There is Matt. Ransom, the cavalier senator
from North Carolina - the most graceful,
magnificent, and Adisonian statesman in
Congress-who will not say How are you?"
but in a metaphor, nor remark ON the weather
except in an apostrophe. He put up his life
and the hopes of the tar-heel State on the
maintenance of his style and buttoned-up
Prince Albert coat When the thermometer
got to 900 he unbuttoned the top button and
mopped his dome of thought with big
handkerchief, as he sighed aloud and deliv-
cred an ornate apostrophe to the babbling
brooks that flow from the bubbling fountains
in the meadow valleys and mountain peaks
of Vallambrosa (Ashe county, N. C) At 95o
he displayed little more shirt bosom, and
at go fired out the fourth button and meta
phor on the naval appropriation bill. When
the mercury got to 99o the Prince Albert
toga was thrown open, and at 1902 he had
rushed to his room, whence he appeared
directly in striped jump-iaeket saek-coat
that was either cut at high tide or must have
belonged to his yoangest boy. The able
Senator is as popular as he is famous and
wise, and among his great achievements is

from Calhoun, KY, not far from this city, last
evening. There was country dance, which
young girl of the neighborhood named Ida
Parger attended, and rival sweethearts of the
young lady named Hiram Siechrist and Louis
Ragland also were present She was a cause
of contention, each wanting to dance with
her. The girl, who is good-lOoking and
graceful, engaged to dance with both in the
same set in an endeavor to avoid disturbance.
When the music struck up each claimed her
hand resulting in an exchange of blows.
The lookers-on interfered and demonstrated
against breaking up the ball. Both men
were put out of the barn where the ball was
lot For some time both men used their
fists, but Siechrist being the lighter of the
two and appreciating his incompetency to
cope with Ragland, drew a knife, and after
terrible punishment while opening it, he ap-
preached Ragland and inflicted dangerous
wound on the left cheek.
The by-standers dragged Siechrist away
and persuaded him to 60 home. This he
seemed inclined to do, but when loosed
moment he made rush at Ragland, who,
being off his guard and not looking for an
assault, had no protection. Siechrist made
a desperate slash at his throat, but missed
his mark several times, finally, however, sue
ceeding. The fatal knife-blade entered the
neck below the left ear, and passing on its
downward course, severed the carotid artery
and lodged and broke off in the left shoulder.
Ragland died almost instantly. Siechrist
leaped astride horse roaming in the lot,
bare backed and hatless, and jumping the
fence, disappeared in the woods.-EuansuiHe

for Frisco, but tarried in Chicago to attend
club dinners and to meet young ladies. He
began to forget Miss Flood, who is q girl of
spirit. He sauntered along over to California.
At Frisco he found Miss Flood was down to
Menlo Park, their magnificent country seat.
| He Immediately commenced receiving invi-
| tations, and accepting them from other young
ladies' Miss Flood expected him to take the
first train for Menlo Park, Mr.. Flood was
disappointed in the young man. He called
to see him at the Palace Hotel. Young
Grant excused himself by saying he was
sick, but the great banker saw that he had
made mistake The poor, frank boy of
year ago had become inflated. Success had
turned his head. He even kept Mr.. Flood
waiting in his parlor while he finished a con-
versation with some one else. That night
Flood went back to Menlo a disappointed
man. He told his daughter that he believed
they had both made a mistake. Miss Floods
pride was humiliated. She had great fight
with herself She said: What would the
world say? The envious girls in San Fran
cisco are even now talking about me- So
she wrote toyoung Grant, but never sent the
letter. She said: If he can't come straight
to me l don't want him. Finally, when
young Grant called on her at Menlo Park,
she was in San Francisco, and he did not see
her. In Frisco she learned that young Grant
had been flirting with several young ladies,
not particularly her friends. So she wrote
him plain note, saying she would release
him altogether 1T would please him. This
made young Grant mad, and, being half in
love with another young lady, he continued
his firtations till the Floods gave out pub
licly that the engagement was Off"
Did Miss Flood mind it much?"
Not personally. There was never very
much love-" She is still in great demand,
and even since then she has refused mar
quis and count, who were searching around,
Prince-de-B -Bourbon-like, for little wife and
good deal of money.

BUCK GRANT.
How Gen. Grants Son Was Mttened by q Cali
fOrna Heiress.


fOrDia Heiress.
A correspondent of the Charleston Ne,cs
and Courier writes from San Francisco: The
story of how Buck Grant courted Miss Flood
is in every body's mouth in San Francisco.
ave all like Miss Flood, said a San Francisco
lady, "she is so sensible, so democratic, and so
frank and womanly. l tell you, we were all
glad when she mittened Buck Grant" When
Gen. Grant arrived in San Francisco from his
trip around the world he was entertained by
Gov. Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Mr. Flood.
Grant took great fancy to Flood A fine
looking girl, with a prospect of four or five
millions, is an interesting object to any parent
who has poor boy to fit out She is splen-
did girl, without any money. But as L was
saying, Gen. and Mrs Grant liked Miss Flood.
They urged Buck to try and get her. He
was the most devoted lover ever saw. He
was at her side every moment. Well, he
finally proposed, and Miss Flood, without
any especial thought, said: Yes, if father
agrees to it."
Buck hurried back to Frisco, and went to
the rich banker at his Office in the Nevada
Bank Mr.. Flood listened to the young man
respectfully-yes, with pleasure. But still
he turned to Buck and said:
ats Ill very well to talk about getting
married, but you have no money to support
wife with. What are your chances in the
future?
Young Grant said he had no business, but
was willing to do anything.
Every well, )" said the millionaire. "You go
back to New York, buy the stocks I tell you
to, and deal for six months as suggest, and
think we can fix you out"
He bought stocks just as Flood told him
to. Everything Buck Grant bought made
money. Every point Flood gave him the
great millionaire was sure to come out right.
1t was not long before young Grant had
| 100000 ahead. Flood told him to 90 in
again and double it. Grant kept right on,
Flood arranging it so that he should make.
Soon Grant had 100000. 1t began to turn
his head. Everything was talking about
Buck Grants success He didn't think it
was Flood behind him who was making the
| money for him. But it was Flood, and he
was doing it so the world wouldn't say he
marries my daughter for her money!"
what was the result?" asked. "After
young Grant had made 100000 and all the
world was talking about it, the Floods began
to think it time to bring him back to Cali
fornia to complete the nuptial arrangements.
1t was then that Buck Grant began to get
dizzy headed. He was courted and fattered
by other girls then, for the money which
Flood had made for him. He started back
