The Story Of a Girl.
m the Eagle Grove Iowa) Times,

From the Eagle Grove Iowa) lines.
An amusing incident occurred this
week which may well be used as a good
moral story for girls. It is of a young
lady whose lover, man of some 38 years,
becoming impatient for the arrival Of
her 18th birthday, which was set as date
for their marriage, induced her, with the
aid of friends, to leave her home and
sojourn until that time at farmers
house few miles distant from town.
Reluctantaly she consented, and was
safely lodged with the good lady of the
house, who, learning the girls story,
used all the influence she could in point
ing out to her the misery she had caus-
ed her parents and friends and the error
of the step she had taken. The girls
mother sought her out and in few
moments gained her consent to return
home. Her lover entered the room, and
finding his plans interrupted, used such
language that she now declares she will
not marry him. Being young and unus.
ed to society, the girl was easily led
astray, but che is now at home, and hap
piness is again rest ored. The lesson is
plain, and one which may we'll be taken
to heart BY every girl. Father and mo-
Their know best. They have seen more
of the world than you. Do not imagine
that other than they can or should de"
eide things for you. Their whole hearts
are wrapped up III you, and there is nc
one more considerate Of your happiness
and welfare than they. E...~. .. a. ....>.

A Tribute to the Value Of Ira
.~2' dition.

It seems at first sight incredible that
an occurance of 215 years ago could be
reported with but one link between the
person who tells you and the actual
witness. Such, however, is the fact.
The narrator III question was the ven
cradle rector Of Bushy Crew. ". Fal-
coner) just deceased at the age of
eighty-four. lie had heard his grand
father (the celebrated DR.. Falconer Of
Bath say that he had been told by his
grandmother that she could remember
being held up TO the window to see
Hallsy's comet, which appeared in 1869.
She was then six years old. DIR. Fal-
coner, the interviewer, was born in l744,
and died III 1924. Assuming him to
have been at least six years of
age when this story was told
him, his grandmother " must
have been ninety. But the wonder
might be increased; for If DR.. Falconer
told the story in the last year Of his life
|. (lS24} to.a child of six years, it might
be passed on to the next century with
only one link between the witness and
the narrator. After all, we are not SO
dependent on writing as we sometimes
assume ourselves to be.-Pall Mall

The New Mistress of the White
House.

Albany Letter.
She Miss r. E. Cleveland) has been
an earnest and industrious woman, and
never contemplated life of luxury,
much less one of conspicuous position
before the country. She IS as unique
in her vay as her brother is in his,
though they are apparently not at all
alike in general character, nor does she
physically resemble him. She is of
medium stature and build, with shape
ly and highly intellectual face. She is
good looking, but not pretty She
dresses neatly, but plainly, and wears
few ornaments. She has for long time
been lecturer by profession, her spe-
cialty being educational subjects, and
her audience usually pupils Of girls
schools. She has, for example, just
Iectured at the Elmlra Seminary on
"Joan of Arc" She speaks several lam
guages, is exceptionally we'll informed
in history and the arts, and has that de-
gree of confidence in herself and the
knowledge she possesses to be able to
firmly take the lead in conversation,
and to hold it against the bright men
and women who have come in contact
with her. Yet in some respects she is
notably shy, and always SO modest and
amiable as to win friends easily and
quickly why, she's q perfect die
tionary," said ex-Gov. Cornell, when
he returned from visit to Miss Cleve-
land, recently. ''She's one of the
brightest women ever met"

Lydia, the Oldest, is married to James
Emery, of Salisbury; Harriet is the
esteemed wife Of Levan Wenger, Of
Dareville; Emma, the youngest, and
the subject of this sketch, has lived
with her mother. She is about thirty
years old, and during this time never
spoke to anyone but her mother and
two sisters until few days since, when
her mother fell over dead in her pres
ence She afterward related the circum-
stance to several ladies, and has since
spoken to many others.
She went to school, but refused tt
recite any lessons. and seemed as mute
as if she was unable to speak. Never
theless, she acquired very fair educa-
ton. She attended church regularly,
and was a consistent member at Bridge
vile. She went into society, seeming
ly enjoying it very much, and when
spoken to the only answer the speaker
would receive was a smile. She has a
special horror of men. Many a one
thought that she must talk, and made
vain efforts to get reply. It is said
that when quite small her fathe,
tempted her with gold-pieces if she
would onl speak one word to him, but
it was useless. -Four years ago hel
father died after a lingering illness, and
she constantly attended him with the
kindest care, but not one word would
she speak to him to console him. The
case is at present the talk of the entire
eastern end of the county.

He says: "The most interesting form Of

wilds,is the famous palo de vaca or cow
tree.' From it is obtained, by incision.
made in the trunk, milky juice, sweet
and agreeable to the taste and which is
considerably used as food by the natives,
Tt furnishes an exceedingly nutritious
food.
"The tree attains q great height, the
coriaceous leaves being from six to ten
inches in length. The wood is red,
very hard and durable. The fluid is
put at Para upon the Amazon to var
ious uses. When applied fresh from
the tree as a glue, the milky sap har.
dens and holds with greater durability
than the ordinary cabinet-maker's glue.
It also makes good custard."
"Amia the great number Of curious
phenomena" says Humboldt, (which ]
have observed in the course Of my trav-
els, I confess there are few that have
made. so powerful an impression on me
as the cow-tree."

The words echoed from the walls OF

dark. She thought she would crawl

walk, 30 doubt, and lie had been about

| door of his home he forgot it all. In
| less than minute he had made kind

another one or two brisk fire was
roaring on the earth, and MI. Grace, in
terrible fear, was rubbing Chart VS.
hands and forcing some brandy from
the little flask he carried down her
throat. She opened her eyes presently,
and looked up into the kind face above
her in bewildered way.
"Emmy--Dean -Joe--are-"
"All right-all right" yelled Mr..
Grace, nearly beside himself with de-

knees before Charly and cried, Were

came, a few days later, with the well
come news that grandmamma was bet

ready heard from Joe and Emmy and
Dean: how the story was told through
out the settlement over and over, and
how Charly WAS praised on all sides;
nor how the people Of Grand Fork,

up fair for Charly's benefit, which
gave her enough to take her to DR.. Les

in the bank-for Charly.
"She will want to go to school in

must study art"
"Why, what makes every one so good

tears; II didn't do anything"
