twenty-five Years without speak
ing 10 Each Other

An event of ofconsiderable importance
has occurred in a little farm house a
few miles from Canton,O o., within few
days. Mrs. Devices spoke to her hus-
band. This is what she said:
william, believe | am dying"
However, she did not die, and she Is
now nearly well again. But the fact
that she spoke at all to her husband
has greatly excited those who are ac-
quainted with the old couple They
are past threescore. This is the first
time either has spoken 10 the other for
nearly quarter Of a century, though
each has spoken to other persons daily
all the while
Nearly twenty-five years ago Mrs.
Devices desired her husband 10 do a
triiiing thing which he regarded as
either impossible or unwise, and he
refused. She, becoming petulant with
disappointment, exclaimed:
"lfyou dou't III never speak to you
again as long as live
Il not only will not do it. he said,
aroused to anger, but VIII not
speak to you until you speak first to
me"
The issue thus Joined lasted longer
than either imagined 1t would. Until
the recent night spoken Of neither Mr.
nor Mrs. Devices ever uttered word
to the other The quarrel was soon
over. and the best Ct feeling wa re
sumed between them. They nave
lived together ever since, contcnted
and harmonious, the only cloud upon
their happiness being their silence
toward each other But even that has
It's advantage. When Mr.. Devices
wanted to say anything to his wife he
would say. for example, to one Of the
children: Jennie, tell your mother /
wish she weuld sew another button on
pay oyeralls Or the mother would
say 'John, tell your father to bring
some sugar oil. pepper and a spool Of
thread. so. sc. from town to-day.
At first it was difficult for them to re-
press the impulse to speak to each
other. but being persons Of strong
Will, they stuck doggedly to their res
olutioas until h;bit made it easy to
do so.
YES" said Mr. Devices 10 4 neigh
bor one day. 1--WE have not spoken for
pretty near twenty-five years. 1t has
sometimes been q little inconvenient
and. OF course. it seems silly 10 most
people, but it has been a blessing To
US in some wavs That one quarrel
was our last. | know from my dispo-
sition and hers that + we had kept on
talking. we should also have kept on
quarreling more or less. Possibly
we'd have got worse, because We are
bath pretty highstrung, and Ii might
have gone 50 far that we'd have been
divorced.
On the night when the silence was
broken Mrs. Devices had beea Ill fer
some days. and about one O'Clock IN
the morning she awoke il great pam.
and thought her end had come. In
her agony she called out 10 lrer hus-
band
William, believe am DYING
The old couple have been talking TO
each other ever since

SEA WALLS OF GREEN GRASS.
How the Government IL Adding Firmncss
TO Terra Firma.


F. p. Hennessy, United States Govern.
ment engineer, is fighting back the sea at
the mouth Of the Columbia river. In order
to learn how to fight the shifting sands he
went to Giuseppe recently and there picked
up some good points. In Holland he found
where immense tracts of dunes had been re-
claimed from the sea by means Of deftly
lacing grasses, whose interlocking roots
reached out and hold firm the thin md
shaky crust of soil that the ocean beat
against. On the shores of the Mediterran-
can he found where the inhabitants had
narrowed in the seeds of the pine, hardy
sea fir variety that throve ON the edge of the
ocean, md, as 1t grew, held the soil together
and by its resin. fagots ETC.. was a source
of revenue 10 the people. Coming back to
San Francisco he found that the European
growths were of too slow a character TO suit
Americans, and collecting lupine seed he
sowed that broadcast, finding that to be Just
the thing required, except that it would
have TO be renewed every three years.
He then went to Sandwich Islands and
knot grass, which he had used at the Gold
en- Gate Park with the hapricst results. This
grass sends down root which will run
along for six or eight feet through the sand
at distance of six inches from the surface
and then send up stalk, SO that in a short
time the whole Area is SO firmly held by the
myrinds of clinging roots as to defy the
wrathiest surge that ever Numbered along
the shore. 49,. 49,

FOR the murder of the station agent ut Col

doubt OF his guilt, or at least, of guilty in
tention in the homicide He was tried and
convicted under the nam1 of Harry HUFF.
but 1t has since TRANSFERRED that his name is
John Henry Williams that he is a native of
Southwestern Kentucky and of highly re-
spected family. His antecedents are that
when he first appeared in Golconda he was
a lively, light hearted young man, bent on
having good time. He became dissipated

dead and circumstances pointed to him. He
was known to have been with the agent that
night and to have been drinking. He had
lapsed into drunken stupor and when be
recovered from IL found himself In Jail
lie disclaimed all knowledge of the kill
ing, but could give no account of his whore
abouts on the night of the murder. Finding
circumstances so strong against him he
neither disclosed his real name nor appealed
to his relatives for assistance. His where
abouts were discovered by accident some
time ago by his family and steps were ct
once taken to secure his pardon The petit
ton before the Board of Pnrdons was signed
by the present Governor Of Kentucky, the
Ex-Governor, Chief Justice and all the
prominent attorneys Of Southwestern Ken

nor of Kentucky stated that from his knowl-
edge of the young man and his family he
felt confident That there was some mitigating
circumstance, and If tho Board of Pardons
found such to be the case he asked that
Williams be set at liberty. The Board ex-
amined tho testimony and released VIII
liams. He had served about eight years
and is now about twenty seven years of are.

WHAT O'CLOCK IS TIT


The Judges house was over in the French
quarter of New Orleans, unattractive out
side, but as soon as you got into the broad
hall cool breeze struck you, laden, with
out exaggeration, with the balm OF thou
sand flowers. The hall led right through
the house and opened into regular fairy
land Of flowers, garden tho like OF which
had never dreamed Of. 1t was surrounded
by high wall and had plants in it from
every country under the sun. The white
haired old gentleman and group OF grand
children hanging about him took US about,
and the first thing We stopped at was alarge
oval pot, set out with small plants around
tho edge. This" said the Judge, " is my
clock. What time is it, Clara 2" he asked
OF one of the children. The girl ran around
the plot and said 1t was about four o'clock,
and so it was. The four-o'clock, was in
bloom. I'm fact" said the story-teller,
"the clock was made up of flowers" In
tho centre was pair Of hands, of wood,
covered with some beautiful vine, but they
had nothing, however, to do with the time
telling. 4...
The plan was this; Tho Judge had
noticed that almost every hour In tho day
some plant bloomed and working on this
principle he had selected plants of different
hours and placed them in circle, twenty
four in number, ono for every hour. For
example, at the top OF the earthen clock, at
IL o'clock, was planted tho portulaoca, and
he told me that it would bloom within ten
minutes OF IL, aud rarely miss At the
hours of /, and 3 he had different varie-
ties Of this same plant, oil OF which bloomed
at the hour opposite to which it was
planted. At o'clock he had our common
plant of that name, and you oil know how
you can depend on that. AT 5 the garden
nictago came ont, at tho goranium triste
and at tho evening primrose. Opposite
o'clock he had the bona nox and at 8 the
silence noctihora-all these blooming at or
near the time given. At 10 o'clock, II re-
membered rightly, he had cactus, at IL
another kind and at ~ the night-blooming
cereus.
Half of the year some Of the plants donr
bloom at all. The plant, opposite and 2
in the morning were cacti that bloomed
about that time, and at was planted the

SAVING A CHILD,s LIFE.
A Courageous Girps Bravery aud EnSur.
nncc.

Miss Ella Mccall, young lady of this
city, has suddenly become heroine, hay
ing performed o feat requiring such bravery
and endurance as few men possess. She
lives at No. 220 Longworth street. near
Smith. Saturday afternoon, as she sat at
her sewing, she was startled by piercing
screams coming from the side yard. Rush.
ing to the window she was in time to see
frankie Aarr, the four year-old child of the
servant employed in the family, disappear
down the cistcrn, the cap of which had in
advertently beon removed. It took her but
an instant to reach the opening, where she
,ould see the little follow laundering about
eight feet below In four feet of water. I'm
fortunately, she was alone in the house ct
the time. The little boy sank below the
surface and there was no help at hand to
summon.
1t was time to act rather than to think,
and without taking into consideration what
might be the consequences to herself, Miss
Mccall, without moments hesitation,
grasped the rim of the cistern and lowered
herself through the ori6ce. Hanging sus-
pended at arms length for n second she
| dropped into the water, barely missing the
struggling and almost exhausted child. In
| striking the bottom she lost her footing and
was herself submerged in the chilling water.
She managed to get the boy into her arms
in time to save his life. She cried for as
sistance, but no ono being ut homo no one
came. She tried 10 attract tho attention OF
passers-by on the street, but failed. Cour.
| ageously she stood in the water, which
reached above her waist, and held up the
boy, who was much too heavy load for
her. She stood there for fully half an hour.
She was almost fainting away and was
chilled to the bone when help finally came
in the person of her mother, who had been
away on an errand.
Help was quickly brought and ladder
was lowered into the cistern. Miss Mccall
scarcely had strength left to hand up her
charge end lad to be assisted to the dry
ground. Restoratives were at once applied
and yesterday she was as we'll as usual and
able to receive the many congratulatory
calls from her admiring neighbors.- Gin
