Once upon time an Austin druggist
secured a new clerk who was suffering
either from too much candor in his or
ganization, or had contracted the repre-
hensible habit of thinking out loud.
He didn't last long. He wore himself
out quite rapidly. One day Mrs. Ebene-
ger Blyleighton, who happened to be
the most fashionable scandal monger in
town, having easily beaten all previous
records, dispatched her colored servant
to the drug store after bottle of vase
line
what does she want it forP' asked
the clerk.
81 dunno"
"Well, she doesn't want to take it
three times day as tonic, does she?"
81 dunno, Pears ter me she wants
de vassilment to put onter her chapped
lips"
''Well, why couldn't you have come
right out at once. and said SOP So she
has got to lubricate and grease up her
gossipy old mouthpiece to keep it run.
ming easily, has she? Her mouth be-
gins to creak, does it, like a gate with o
rusty hinge?'
1t isn't known to certainty that the
servant delivered his unintended mes
sage verbatim, but enough of it leaked
into the ears of Mrs. Blyleighton to en-
able her to translate portion of it to
the Austin drug dealer. And this it
was which caused the clerk to 'ssever
his connection" The druggist, as he
pushed the candid clerk out of the
back door, remarked that it made him
sick to have that kind of boy in the
establishment -IerGs SittipoS.

Clara Louise Kellorg's First SONG

There will soon be a biography of
Miss Kellogg written by Mrs. Kellogg.
The circumstances attending the sing
ing OF her first song by Miss Kellogg are
thus narrated by the mother:
Louise was but nine months old.
We had just buried little one in the
south, and had fled northward to escape
the infection of disease there prevail
ing, very fatal among the children. We
brought with us servant girl that had
care of the child. and was always sing
ing certain favorite song, couched in
the quaint and queer music of the plan
tation. One day little Louise was sit
ting upon the floor when, to my utter
astonishment, she commenced singing
in perfect time and tune the song al
luded to, which SO frightened me that /
called out to my mother, The baby will
die! Oh, my God, the baby will dier'
Mother hastened into the room, ex-
pecting to find the child in the agonies
of death, only to exclaim, Nonsense!
What ails you daughter? There is moth
ing the matter with the child. See, it
is Growing at you now But, mother
L exclaimed, ''that nine month babe
has just been singing wonderfully the
nurses song, and it is going to die; l
know it is!' and went almost wild in
my alarm. But the baby did not die,
and thank God that it didn't, for it was
born to bless-as only music can bless
the hearts of world. This story of our
daughters first song" said Mrs. Kel-
logg, "however improbable, judged
from ordinary events, is nevertheless
true. l could not account for it at the
time; l cannot fully do so now. 1 did
not then know how to interpret so un-
usual happening, except as a warning.
In the light of subsequent events l may
now perhaps guess at more possible
solution. "-AnSonia Comm Sentinel

A New Hampshire farmer who heard
of a New Yorker stopping at one of the
mountain hotels drove thirteen miles
one day last week to ask him if he
thought the prospective shortage of
crops would bring about another tinan-

several hours, and finally ascertained
that the man lie wanted to see was ap-

A Ghostly Visitant,

Castle Haven, in Dorchester, on the
Choptank, is fine old estate and man
or house, commanding one of the
most conspicuous sites in all Maryland.
The tall and imposing house and the
stately Lombardy poplars on the lawn
can be seen for miles from up and down
the river and they loom up as conspicu-
Gus objects from the opposite Talbot
shore. Castle Haven, as an estate and
residence, goes away back into colonial
times, and, like some other old places,
has hanging about it some weird and
fascinating stories. Mr.. Phillip Le-
compte is the occupant of Castle Hav-
en-. He is a practical man interested
in farming the estate, and thinking in
finitely more of crops and stock than
of ghosts and spirits. But the ghost
has again been about it, all the same,
and has given an indubitable manifes-
tation of his presence. One day last
week Mrs. Lecompte was having din
ner prepared in the kitchen, using a
heavy No. 9 cook stove. While the
dinner was preparing and the stove
was covered with boiling pots and ket-
ties and other cooking utensils, Mrs.
Lecompte went out, leaving no one in
the kitchen. When she went back a
few minutes afterward she found that
the stove had been turned over and was
then with its legs in the air, while the
pots and kettles and other cooking
utensils were in their proper places on
the stove, but were resting on the floor.
The fire in the stove was burning as US
ual, the boiling water in the pots and
kettles staid in and kept on boiling,
nothing had fallen from the stove or
was disarranged while it was turned
over, and there sat the stove, complete
ly reversed, with its feet uppermost.
The stove-pipe remained in its place on
the stove and in the chimney and was
drawing as usual, but it had to be taken
off before the stove could be righted.
This strange occurrence is the wonder
Of Castle Haven and the whole neigh
borhood around. d.-Easton (Md. Ledger.

one or the New yersey Firms Signs the
IE Scale. ...


Scale. ..
PIT1sBUReH, January 15.-Intelligence
was received at the Window Glass Work
ers' headquarters this morning that the
firm of Hires & Co., operating the two
window glass factories at Quinton, Salem
county. n. j., had signed the scale pre-
sentedby their employees and that fire had
been started in the furnaces. The two fac,
tories operated by the firm manufacture
considerable glass, and give employment
to fttyskilled workmen and fifty unskilled
worknen. Both have been idle since June
30, 1889, and Notwithstanding the firm at
first refused to sign the scale advancing
their employees wages ten per cent. over
the amDunt paid them in 1881, and within
ten per cent. of the amount paid Western
glass workers. they have made no effort TO
import foreign laborers.
There are sixteen furnaces in the Eastern
glass district, and this makes the fifth fac
tory being operated by Union workmen
and Under Union prices in the district.
The window glass workers are jubilant
over the starting up Of the two facter:e
and claim that il is an important victory
for them, being in the face OF the importa-
tion by some manufacturers OF foreign glass
workers. They claim that the lockout is
fast auproaching an end. The firm opera.
ting Ia two factories is composed of
George Hires, Charles Hires and William
Plunmer, Jr. The former is State Senator
from Salem county. Glass will not likely
be made in the factories before next week,

Mr.. ARTHUR AND THE PORTER BILL
IL May be vetoed for Political Reasons
a It Reach the President.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE President
and Cabinet have supplemented the de-
bate in the Senate on the bill to permit the
President to restore Fitz John Porter to
the army with several discussions in Cabi'
net meeting. 1t can be said on Tery high
authority that the result of these discus
siOnS is that the President will veto the
bill ii il reaches him. 1t is undoubted-
ly true that the astute Mr.. Chandler has
pointed out to the President certain polit'
lCai advantages to be gained by such a veto,
while the Attorney General has fortified
the proposed act by one OF his remarkable
opinions. II is learned that the subject
was brought up in Cabinet meeting early
IN the winter. 1t was suggested that there
was a fair chance that the bill would
reach the President and that it
