He Held Fast to a Good Thing.

"Yes," said the conductor on the Hi
nois Central, I'm married at last, boys,
and am mighty glad of it. But the
strangest part of the story is how / came
to meet my wife. 1t was about a year
ago. One day we stopped at one of the
stations down the line where the track
is doubled, when there was freight
train approaching on the track west OF
the station. The freight slowed up SO
that passengers would have time to
cross, and then put on steam and came
along after l had given the signal to my
engineer to start. But / stood on the
ground looking out for passengers who
might jump off and get hurt, as l al
ways do under similar circumstances
On this occasion it was well that / did,
because a young woman came running g
out of one of the coaches of my train
and excitedly made jump to get off
She landed right in my arms, and if
hadn't been there she'd have fallen be-
fore the freight engine and been crushed
to death. Well, boys, just held onto
her until those two trains had passed,
and they weren't very short trains
either. She was SO excited 1 didn't
dare put her down, and felt quite com
Portable the way was, anyhow, with
her heart beating against mine. Well,
in that minute and half lost my
heart, and we were married week be-
fore Christmas. She says she always
did like man who had sense enough
to hold fast to good thing when he
had chance. ~ Chicago Herald

Cute Boston Girls.

Arle Bates thinks that Boston girls
are quick at repartee, and gives the fol-
lowing as specimens: A gentleman
who was apparently rather deeply tinged
with the prevalent Anglomania was at
a watering-place descanting upon the
superiority of English over American
scenery.
There really is no finished scenery in
this country" he was pleased to OBJ
serve. ''Of course the Palisades on
the Hudson are very well made, but
"Yes," crisply and dryly nterpolated
the clever Boston girl whom he was fav-
oring with his conversation, II think
they are-considering who made them" !"
Another Boston girl was at a New
York reception. $50 you are from Bos-
ton?" said young gentleman to her.
.Oh, DEAR" she responded, with an
accent of despair, chow did you knowi
I'm sure tried hard enough to conceal
it"
ITO conceal it." he repeated, with a
puzzled air. ''Surely you are not ashamed
of itp''
''Oh, no." replied she, with engaging
candor, '.but thought everybody would
be afraid to talk with me if they knew ]
was from Boston. IN. ?. Tribune.

An Arab Horse Trade.

An Arab who wishes to sell horse
will never consent to be the first to
name price. Someone comes up and
says: 'Sell, thou wilt gain"
The vender replies: Buy, thou wilt
gain.'
Speak thou first"
"No, speak thou"
"Was he purchased or reared?"
'Reared in my tent, Ike one of my
own children"
What hast thou been offered for
him?"
Il have been offered 100 douros."
''soeu him to me at that price-thou
wilt gain. Tell me, then, what thou
askest."
''See what is written with Allah"
''Come, let us drive away the previous
bidder, and do thou take 10 douros over
and above his offerp'
81 accept. Take thy horse, and Allah
grant thou mayst be successful upon his
back as many times as he has hairs
upon it.
Should the seller be desirous to avoid
all risk of future annoyance on the sub
ject OF warranty, he adds, in the pres
ence of witnesses:
''The separation between us is from
this very moment. Thou dost not know
me, and have never seen thee.'

things. I must wake them." and she
flashed her regal splendor full into the
old barn upon the sleeping man and
child. ''Let them rest, they are weary"
said the frost, and he spun curtain of
rarest design over the often-patched
window-panes. When the sun saw
them in the morning still asleep, he
thought, '.Not yet at your labors, my
friends / must despoil your home Of
this pretty curtain the frost has wrought
across your window"
And the stars, the moon, the frost,
and sunlight all did what they could for
those who had loved them But the
father and child did not stir; and the
rats and the mice danced about them,
and ate of the bread she had brought,
and tore bits of his and her hair away
to build them new nests for their young,
and ate of their flesh. And the vermin
lived all through the cruel winter, and
in the Spring-time they scampered over
the fields and enjoyed the sunlight, but
at evening always returned to the old
barn, at nightfall, and wrought new
nests for their young of black and white
hair and bits of old cloth, and fed their
young on human flesh.
But one day stray match got ignited,
and burned full many a nest built of
black and white threads, soft and warm,
like the finest silk, and the old barn for
half an hour was sight of idle passers-
by. The fire department was called,
but it was registered as a false alarm,
for it was an empty barn that had taken
fire just outside of the city limits.
And the stars, the moon, the frost,
and the sunlight have looked upon a
few white scattered bones, and the
heavens have wept upon them; and as
they crumble to dust the earth absorbs
them. And the stars, the moon, the
frost, and sun still gaze on strange am
bitions, strange misfortunes, strange sad
endings.-L. E. Sonanaers in Inter-
Ocean.

The Farmer of Tippecanoe.

Oh. know ye the Farmer of Tippecanoe,
The gallant old Farmer of Tippecanoe?
With an arm that is strong and q heart that fs
true,
The man of the people is Tippecanoe.
Away in the West, the fair river beside
That waters North Bend in it's beauty and
pride,
And shows in its mirror the summer sky blue,
Oh, there dwells the Farmer of Tippecanoe.
When the clear eastern sky in the mornings
light CLEANS.
And the hills of Ohio grow warm in its beams,
When the fresh-springing grass is bent down
With his plow in the furrow stands Tippe-
canoe.
Hurrah! for the Farmer of Tippecanoe,
The honest old Farmer of Tippecanoe;
With an arm that is strong and heart that
is true.
The man of the people is Tppecanoe.
And when far in the west the warm sunlight
And the woods of Ohio look dusky and brown,
In his snug, quiet home he the past will re-
view,
And think of his comrades at Tppecanoe.
For warm are his feelings, and strong is his
To the suffering poor man he ever is kind;
With a hand that is open, q heart that is true,
The poor find friend in Old Tppecanoe.
Hurrah for the Farmer of Tppecanoe,
The fearless old Farmer Of Tippecanoe,
With an arm that is strong and hand that
is true,
The choice of the people is Tppecanoe.

Chinese ideas of discipline are pecu-
liar. A short time since the land-offiee
at Fussu Hong was attacked by thirty
bandits disguised as regular troops.
The officer in charge defended the place
bravely, and did not yield until one of
his men had been Killed and himself
and five others wounded. The robbers
plundered the treasury, set fire to the
office, and rode off. In any other coun-
try the officer would have been COM
mended for his courage; but the Chinese
authorities looked at the matter differ
entity, and he was pronounced severely
to blame for not having taken measures
to acquaint himself with the advance of
the robbers, and for having failed to
beat them of. He was therefore cash
tered, while the officer in special charge
OF the treasury was adjudged to have
had larger sum deposited than he
should have kept by him, and was called
upon to make good the loss to the pub
Gc out of his own funds.

BERLIN, October 3O.-Reports of the
inspectors of factories, which have just

With overtime, the WOrkmen in some

eleven. Cotton spin qers in Pots1am

and her little son lived. After supper

severed from his body. Prewitt and
Jones then went TO the house and

the alarm. A posse pursued and cap
tured PreWitt, who confessed the
crime and said he had been hired to do

the horse and the object was robbery.
Three men are under arrest and there
is great excitement over the affair.
