They Were Kind to the Widow.

Detroit Free Press.
The three of us had been tramping
over the battle field of Malvern Hill all
day long, and as night came on there
was every evidence of a steady, soaking
rain storm. We had to get shelter right
away, and we found it in small farm
house owned by widow. She was
willing enough to furnish us supper, but
when it came to lodgings she seemed
greatly embarrassed.
''You see, my house IS very small. In
deed, have only this room with bed
room off" she said.
'But can't we sleep in the barn!"
asked the colonel
Il have no barn"
''But you can go to bed and let us
sleep on the floor in this room, can't
you?"
"Y-e-s, but-but-"
''Oh, you needn't have any fear Of Us,
madam, protested the colonel.
''It isn't that, sir, but"
She blushed like rose, but none of
us could understand till she said:
''Well, to tell the truth my beau will
he here tonight"
''In this storm?"
"Oh, yes. He would come if it rained
pitchforks.
''Well, we won't hurt William
''No, sir, but we-that is, he will ex-
pect to spark me, and-and-"
Exactly" said the colonel. II see
the situation. You don't want to disap-
point William"
''No, sir, and don't want to turn you
gentlemen out either. You see, sir, it's
probably my only chance to get married
and it won't do to offend William. This
is his sparkling night and he's got tc

''Well, we won't stard in the way: we
will hunt some other place"
"No, sir, you shall stay; but you see
how it is. l think can fix it. I'll take
this room, and you three can have the

What! Deprive yen of sleep:'
"Oh, no, sir. William and l alway'

We did. After supper we locked cur
selves into the bed room, and, taking th'
pillows from the bed, lay down on tn
floor md slept like bricks until called t,
breakfast. When we went out the colo
mel asked:

Nv. J. iTompkins is the pioneer in a
new branch of industry in the Little
Missouri valley. He outftted here Mon
day morning with the necessary imple-
ments tostart hay, ranch which will be
located about 10 miles from town. About
one hundred acres will be broken and
seeded this year. Experiments will be
made with alfalfa, red clover, timothy,
millet, &c. This new enterprise will
without doubt be successful and will be
of great advantage to our stockmen. It
is q well known fact that the native
grasses will yield a crop Of hay only
once in about every two or three years,
and III addition to this, the country is
filling up 50 rapidly with stock that even
this supply will be entirely cut of
within the next two or three years. The
Refrigerator company expects to feed
cattle here through the winter and must
look for their supplies, to some other
source than the native meadows. It is
claimed that cattle fed on alfalfa will
not only retain their flesh, but will take
on more. This hay business Is matter
that should be looked into BY stocknen
as there Is q possibility that they will
need hay when there is none to b
obtained.

The alarm Of HIRE from the water works

blaze in the yard back Of May Bros
crockery store, Second avenue and Nine
teenth street. There was general clang-
ing Of bells and dashin9 of hose carts in
various directions, while Mr. LOUIS May
and the employees of the store tore down
the burning building and put the fire out
before the arrival of hose apparatus. An
employee of the house had put a small
oil stove in an out house. which exploded
and set fire to the structure, and hut for
the timely action on the part of Mr., May
aid his clerks, the barn adjoining would
have burned with several tons Of hay,
and probably other buildings before the
department could have located the fire.
The hook and ladder truck came dashing
up Second avenue ten minutes after the
trouble was over.

he says the Louisiana, Texas and Mississip-

support it on condition that their
claims are aided by oar congress
men. He says there may be some oppo-
siIion to the bill from Pennsylvania on
the ground of reducing expenditures, but
he thinks if the west will unite with the
south the Hennepin will pass. When
ask ed as to the general opinion in Wash

sound document, the only objection being
as to its length, and that by the re pubs
