One ofcleveland's Little Stores. !,

Washington Dispatch to Boston Herald
President Cleveland is developing as
story teller. He has diminished the
value of petitions for Office good deal
by story which he told an ofice-seek-
ing senator. He said that when he was
mayor of Buffalo there was sharp
contest for the position of chief of po-
lice. One candidate in particular was
indorsed by such very large number
of citizens that when he saw the petition
the mayor felt that probably he was Il 9
man who ought to be appointed. He
stated this conclusion to two of his
friends who called to see him, but they
informed him that in their opinion the
appointment would not be a good
one, and should not be made. He,
thereupon, showed them the pa
pers signed by such large num-
Der OF leading citizens, and said he did
not see how he could ignore it. Thev
thereupon asked him to delay action for
two days in order that they might pre-
sent a paper to him, and went away.
At the end of the time they returned,
bringing another petition signed by a
long list of Buffalo people. some of
them prominent in the city, and num-
Der of them his friends. It was not a
petition for the place of chief of police,
but was addressed to the Governor Of
New York, and stated that Grover
Cleveland, mayor of Buffalo, had been
guilty of embezzlement of the public
funds, was unfit to hold the Office, and
ought to be removed. It simply show
ed how easily reputable people could
be got to sign petition without read
ing it. Since that time Mr.. Cleveland
says he has not had high opinion of
signatures to petitions relative to the
Offices.

The Style of Courtship in Green.
land,

When the Danish missionaries had
secured the confidence of the Green
landers, marriage was made religious
ceremony. Formerly the man married
the woman by force. One of the mis-
sionaries, writing to his journal, de-
scribes the present style Of courtship as
follows: The sutton, coming to mis-
sionary, says:
II should like to nave wife"
Whom ?" asks the missionary. The
man names the woman. "Hast thou
spoken to herr"
Sometimes the man will answer:
"Yes, she is not unwilling; but thou
knowest womankind!"
More frequently the answer is, ''No.'
''Why not?"
cit is difficult. Girls are prudish.
Thou must speak to her" The mis-
sionary summons the girl, and after a
little conversation, says:
ried."
81 won't marry"
"What pity! I have sutton for
thee"
''Whom?" The missionary names
the man who has sought his aid.
HE is good for nothing! I won't
have him!"
. But" replies the missionary, Chefs
good provider. He throws his mar
poon with skill, and he loves thee"
Though listening to his praise with
evident pleasure, the girl answers:
II won't have him."
s'Well, I won't force thee. I shall
soon find wife for such clever fellow"
The missionary remains silent, as
though he understood that "No"to have
ended the matter. At last, with sigh,
she whispers:
Gust as thou wilt have it,"
s'No," answers the clergyman, "as
thou wilt; I'll not persuade thee"
Then, with deep groan, comes eyes, T"
spoken somewhat quickly, and the mat
ter is settled.

it. How happy we would have been
after that, except for poor, erring Joe.
Uncle went to the city the next morn
ing and did not return for two DAYS.
His face was dark and solemn when
he came into the old house again, but no
one dared to question him. It was late in
the evening. and we had waited sup
per for his coming. Very quickly we
gathered around the table and bowed
our heads, while Uncle asked bles-
sing. Suddenly a shadow fell across
the doorway, and when we raised our
heads imagine what surprise we felt
there stood the truant boy Joe. Aunt
Margaret sprang to her feet.
Don't come to meet me yet, moth
en-" he said, until I show you that
have not forfeited all claim to your
respect and love; that everything was
not so bad as you have thought. I
didn't steal that money, OR ever meant
to steal it. l am willing to acknowl-
edge my share of the wrong; it was
getting into bad company and drinking
to much whisky, but I have not
been guilty of stealing anything
they have proven. After 1 had been
drinking freely and made fool of my
self, as liquor always makes me do, the
boys dragged me into the plan they had
already fixed upon, and until I was too
drunk to know anything, they hurried
me away with them: but they have been
found. It is all cleared up now, and
father shan't lose anything by me.
'"Ihank the blessed Lord for that"
Aunt Margaret said, and, pntting both
arms around him, she drew him into the
room. You may be sure a great
burdens weight was lifted from our
hearts when we heard Joe's story
through, and how thankful we were that
he had been saved, and that Nellie was
saved. I shudder yet to think how near
they were to the precipice beneath
which yawned the dark, dreadful sea
IN Aunt Margaret's dream. But the
angels wing has turned the darkness
into light, our sorrow into joy.

You may be sure the sorrowful faces
of few minutes ago frightened up at
this strange turn of affairs, and joyful
" enough we all repaired to the parlor,
where Nellie and John were united in
marriage. You should have seen dear
Aunt Margaret's face when she kissed
the bride. Didn't we all kiss her,
though not all. Mr.. Wells-I
mean never to call him miserly old
wretch or say other ugly names again.
However, I don't think he had anything
to do with this piece of mercy. I re.
gard it as a special interference of
Providence. But am getting away
from the subject. Did he kiss her?
No. But this is the reason why. Nell
lie went straight up, and, putting both
arms around him, kissed him right
heartily. l am sure, had he been the
bridegroom, she would never have
kissed him like that.
