Inside, in the only apartment safe
from intrusion, lay the unfortunate
man, sufficiently convalescent torealize
that all his gains had been taken from

Loungers in Broadway had an oppor-
tunity to see rather novel and unique
sight the other afternoon. A we'll
dressed woman in silks. satin and
camels hair stepped out of her coupe
just above Union square and passed
into well-known store. The coachinan
dressed in fashionable livery through
out, held his whip in the usually es-
thetic manner of coachmen, and kept
his eyes fixed immovably on the horses
ears. Neither the horse, nor the cab,
nor the driver moved a muscle. Pres
emily the well-dressed woman came
out of the store bearing in her hand a
goblet of ice-cream soda and made her
way through the crowd of pedestrians
always in Broadway late in the after
noon, and Stepping up to the coachman
handed him the glass and a teaspoon
with which to eat the contents thereof.
Then the woman returned to the store.
and having secured duplicate for her
self, calmly and heroically ate it.
Meantime the coachman, holding the
whip reins and spoon in one hand and
the glass in the other, ate his ice-cream
soda as though he liked it, and people
walking by looked, stared, seemed
amazed, and turning around walked by
the cab again to see if their eyes had
not deceived them. The woman, hav-
ing slaked her thirst, came out, took
the coachman's empty glass, returned
it, and paying for both, came out, and
getting into her cab was driven away.

An Aggrayating Little Wretch.

Some of the city stores are constant
ly annoyed by children coming to the
door and asking for cards, empty boxes
and that sort of thing. The clerks
are, of course, down on the youngsters,
and the warfare never ends. The
other day little girl opened a store
door, and sticking her head in, called
out:
"Say, mister, have you got any
empty boxes?"
"No!" said the clerk, not very polite
ly.
"Got any cards?"
Nor
Got any almanacs? 2"
"Now
"Got any empty bottles2'
'No!
Got any pictures2 ?"
"Nor
"Got any sense?'
"No-yes-no-yes-you miserable
little wretch" and the clerk flew out
of the door; but the youngster was in
the next alley making faces at him,
and he came back madder than he had
been since his salary was reduced.

English gentlemen of Queen Eliza
beth's time were accustomed to wear
handkerchiefs in their hats as favors
from young ladies. These articles
when wrought and edged with gold
were worth from five pence to twelve
pence each, their value was not great
even in good Queen Bess's time, when
a penny was a penny.

The World is Growing Better.

The world is growing better!
Though It takes wider sweep.
Tho hand Of sturdy labor
With a friendly hand we greetj
We will not drink the bitter
When so little makes il sweet.
The world is growing richer,
In wealth brought from the earth
But, better far, with treasures found
In mines OF sterling worth.
For noble deed are honored more
Than simple claims Of birth.
The world is growing betterl
With fewer musty creeds,
With more of human striviugs
To answer human needs.
With precious harvest garnered
As the growth of precious seeds.

little gasp of anguish; "he will send

And yet, if you would not blame me,

After time papa might relent, and

The mother sighed, but she clasped
the pretty pleader more closely to her
tender heart, and fondly kissed the
sweet bright face

with much earnestness. always

may be, shall trust my daughter to
do the right. If you choose to go
rather than become Mr.. Talbot's un-
loving wife, shall not Judge you too
harshly; and it may be that sometime
the storm will pass over, and that this
trial will end happily for us all"
After such a concession the mother
could scarcely refuse to acquiesce to
anything her child might decide to be
best. And so Kate took her last re-
gretful look of the dear familiar rooms;
with quivering lips she kissed her
weeping mother; and then in the
early, quiet morning she left the
pleasant house, the doors of which, as
it might be, had been closed upon her
forever.
"She has made her choice" her
father said briefly in grim anger; land
henceforth she is dead to me.
From his home, his heart, his lips,
he had banished her; and he forbade
the mention of her name in his pres
ence.
And for Percy Talbot he began to
manifest singular partiality-a special
liking that was frequently shown by
considerable monetary favors Per
haps he fancied that he owed some
sort of reparation to the luckless indi-
vidual who had been so signally dis
dained by his handsome and refractory
daughter!

A SCHEMER FOILED.

Papa is not like himself. He never
was harsh to me before" murmured
poor Kate.
"Yet you must not be unmindful
that your father believes he is acting
for your best interests" was the rather
doubtful remonstrance of Mrs. Scott.
Papa is acting entirely under the
influence Of Percy Talbot" the girl
asserted excitedly; "if he were not, he
would understand how grievoCs it
would be should l marry a man whom
l detest-how utterly impossi-
ble it is when my whole heart is given
to another Oh, mamma, surely you
cannot blame me?'
What could the gentle wife, the
troubled mother, say? She loved her
husband, unreasonable as he might be,
she idolized her only child, and she
shrank from holding either blamable.
So she remained silent, while two big
tears rolled slowly down her fair,
faded cheeks

crossing the room and throwing her
self on her knees beside her mother.

The recent rains have almost entirely
restored the corn crop from the effect
of the hot winds. A few of the earlier
pieces of corn that were in tassel were
injured to some extent. All the later
corn and even some of the earlier, now
shows no signs of being damaged by
the hot winds, and this country will
have pretty good crop of corn after
all and ye ''tenderfoots' who got up
during the few hours of ''Texas remind
esq to go east and sit down in the shade

now where you left the most promising
home you ever had, why you would be
ashamed of yourselves, and instead of
cursing the country you would be OBJ
hged to speak its praised.-Nearly all
the small grain is in the stack, but some
remains in the field on account of the
wet weather, and some of our farmers
have cut their millet part of which is
damaged by rain.-Prairie Dog has
been on a high and washed out a part
of Mischke's mill dam. 1t makes the
old gentleman say ''confound it" but
then he goes right ahead to rebuild it.
Smith Bros dam just below town
stood the freshet all right witout any
damage. We understand they have or
dered a large cane mill for the purpose
of manufacturing sorghum. Treas
urer d. L. Smith and family were Wis
ting friends on the Island Saturday and
Sunday.-N. Polling and Mr.. Cole
of the Burg were showing up the Is
land one day last week to some friends
from the east.-Dr. G.. S. Martin, of
Bull City, was at the Island prospecting
one day last week.-Take a look at
the new sign on E. NJ. Weeds store.
John Bryant is the boss sign painter.
H. Cozad has enlarged his facilities
for manufacturing sorghum this season.
Mr.. Haley, our village blacksmith
is still i'll which makes it rather incon-
venient for our farmers during harvest.
