A woNIAN's SUIT.
And With What Success She Sues a
Poor Man.

A well-roundad and petite figure, al
ways clad in black, with large, brown
eyes, clear-cut and regular features, and
small and and well-shaped hands, help
to make Mrs. Maria A. Harm, of Brad
ford, Pa, attractive. She has achieved
a reputation as speculator in petro-
leum. She went in too deep, and to ex-
tricate has called in the aid of the law.
She is widow and the mother of two
bright and interesting boys. She en-
gagged as her broker Col. N. d. Preston,
and delivered to him duly certificates of
deposit to the amount of about $4,000.
The broker held these certif-
Gates, he pretends, for security, and put
up the margins himself. For a time for
tune smiled on the woman speculator.
On the first deal she cleared $500, and
on the second 81 ,34S. The broker gave
his checks for these amounts and re-
turned one of the certificates of depos-
it. Mrs. Harm then wanted to buy
| 100000 barrels of oil. Col. Preston's
hair began to stand on end He would
not undertake to handle such bundle.
rs, 900 barrels and failing in this, plead
ed for so 900 barrel lot. The broker
was not to be moved from his purpose.
At that time the oil country was on the
verge of the great Cherry Grove excite
| ment. which. when it came, ruined
thousands and sent the price from eight
ty-six cents to forty-nine cents a barrel.
| Col. Preston, after much persuasion,
consented to and did purchase 25, ,0CO
barrels of oil for her, and subsequently
5000. parrels were added. Without
warning well No. GAG, the pioneer of the
Cherry Grove excitement, was brought
| in gushing out thousands of barrels OF
| crude a day. The market went to
| pieces. Mrs. Harm hung on to the oil.
Col. Preston became alarmed. Margins
| were daily swallowed up and the mark
ct was fairly sinking out ofsight. Every
day for two weeks the broker, accord
ing. to his statement, called upon her
and appealed to her TO take the oil out
of his hands, and one day he served a
written notice on her that if the oil was
not taken out of his hands by certain
day it would be sold by public sale. The
day came, but Mrs. Harm was absent
The oil was sold. For time the case
was allowed forrest. A few days ago
Mrs. Harm sued Col. Preston for S, 400
damages. The case was heard before
she had advanced $4,000 for margins,
that other parties were ready to carry
the oil. and that the broker sold her out
before he had right to. Col. Preston
offered no defence.
The arbitrators rendered an award in
favor of the women for $24 600, the sum
sued for being only So 400, Mrs. Harms
attorneys having insisted that she was
entitled to the difference between what
the oil cost and the highest market
price ruling between the day of sale and
the time of trial. The case will be
appealed.-New York Sun.

A BASEBALL BALLAD.

]. Smith is dead. That fine 20 ung man
We ne'er shall see him more;
He was member of our club,
Since 1864.
His private virtues were immense,
His manner free and bluff;
He wore paper collar, and
Was never known to muf,
He rarely took'a drink more strong
Than lemonade or pop;
He hated drunkards, and was
Magnificent short-stop.
His nose was Roman and his eyes
Continually were peeled;
He made splendid umpire, and
A beautiful left field.
His hair was red and shingled close,
Much sunburned was his face;
He never showed with more effect
Than on the second base.
Being q man he had his faults,
As likewise have we all;
He felt q preference for the New
York regulation ball.
Though not matrimonial man,
He dearly loved match,
And, like his sisters, had but few
Superiors on the catch.
He had noble mind, as exc
A very supple wrist;
And when he pitched he gave the ball
:. His own peculiar twist.
OF politics and church affairs
He held restricted views;
His feet were usually incased
In canvas, hob-nailed shoes.
But he is gone. With ins and outs
Forever he is done;
He broke his heart and hurt his spleen
In making home run.
His body we have planted now,
Hls soul is in the sky;
The angels reached from heaven down
And took him on the fly.

une BY distinguished pnyslclan,- recenrly,
Chloral 10 resorted TO for an ordinary at.
tack OF sleeplessness, and perhaps small
doses are taken for few days, the result
being sound, refreshing sleep, with none Of
the evil results common to other narcotics.
When the period of sleeplessness is past, ali
goes we'll for time.
Sooner or later, however, sleeplessness
returns, chloral Is resorted to, kept up for q
long time and taken in larger doses. It is
again abandoned, only to resume its sway,
and thus the habit is formed that renders
sleep impossible without chloral, which,
like all narcotics, must be increased in
quantity as the system becomes habituated
to its poisonous effects.
Tho larger class of victims Of the chloral
habit are men who lead sedentary lives,
and those who from Temperament and the
nature of their work Is peculiarly liable to
suffer from sleeplessness.
One Of the most notable examples of the
bnneful effects Of the chloral habit was the
lrtist-poet, Dante Gabriel Rnssstti who,
during the latter years Of his lite, was ac-
customed to take enormous doses, reaching
total Of nearly lsO grains daily.
For many years he took chloral regular
ly, at first in small quantities. but he grad
resistance was gone. His life was dark
ened by power he fought against in
vain. His latter days were spent IN soli-
tude. He becarae recluse and Q hypo-
chondriac, filed with groundless fears for
himself, cherishing unfounded suspicious
against his best friends and admirers.
Unlike opium, there are, as rule, no
unpleasant effects, no reaction on following
the use of chloral. Itsimply produces per.
feet sleep, or the best possible imitation Of
dreamless rest, with no headache or sick
ness as reminder that the slumber has
been purchased and the debt must be paid
for. The debt is paid later, and the inter
est demanded is health, hope, and often
life.-Youth's Companion.

From hfs Autobiography.

l = , Iss
On the 26th Of April. 1878, I was mars
ried at Cooperstown, Otsego county, To
Miss Catherine Ostrander, of that place.
The engagement was entered into in
1914, when we were both, in the jndg-
ment Of her relatives, too young TO corn-
prehend the responsibilities Of snch 9
step. In fact, they doubted, not without
reason. the propriety of confidin9 tho
welfare and happiness Of their daughter
to a comparative stranger, with unset
lied and rowing habits. We communed
together on the subject, and mu-
notually agreed to hold no intercourse
either by word or letter for two or
three years, when, if her mind was un-
changed, she was to write to me. I inn
medihtely left Coorerstown, and neither
saw nor heard from her for more than
three years, when letter came inform
ing me that time had made no change in
her affections, to which j replied in sim-
| liar terms. 81 #
We married without regard to any Of
the prudential nsideratfons which re-
strained many then, and which re-
strains many more now, from CONTRACT
ing similar tie. had, when the .ere-
mOny was over. just money enough to
take my young wife to Albany, whore.
with good health, strong hands and
hopeful hearts, we both went earnestly
to work to earn living. The value or
our household goods did notexceed 500.
10 this fortunate marriage j am indebt-
ed for as much happiness as usually
falls to the lot of man, and very, largely
for whatever OF personal succe5s and pe-
cuniary prosperity / have since en-
joyed. She more than divided our
labors cares and responsibilities. But

management | must have been ship

After a severe illness Of several
months, just.as the sum. was rising one
morning, and / stood watching BY hers
bedside, she reminded me that e was
the fortieth anniversary Of onr mar-l

ring which had placed ON it forty yes7s,

without biting it off, it must have proved

Mr.. and Mrs Widgeon do not live in

fight more or less every day in the
week, and we infer from the following
that Mrs. Widgeon is not entirely to
blame, as her husband causes her to be-
come angry every once in while. They
attended church last Sunday, and after
the service was over he asked her: Mrs.
Widgeon, you know why the preacher
