That is q remarkable story which an esteemed
cotemporary prints about the effect produced on
. paralytic by receiving a trifling gift from the
President. For ten years Mrs Martin, OF Richie
county, West Virginia, has been bed-r1dden
cripple, and without the power OF speech. The
composition OF crazy quilt, from bits OF various
fabrics sent her by distinguished persons, has
been almost her only occupation. Her Joy the
other day at receiving patch from Mr.. Cleveland
was 80 great that She jumped up In bed suddenly,
the motion causing loaded pistol which lay near
1Ar TO fall to the floor and discharge itself. The
ballet entered her paralyzed leg and restored it to
1ts normal state, at the time setting free her
long silent tongue

severity. They viii besiege the President for

magistrate with their appeals they NAV be
tempted 70 Try the effect OF accidental marksrnan-

ton in accordance with the law of
love, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind and
thy neighbOr as thyself." There must
be agitation and education. The terri
BILE nature of the rum traffic is to be
kept constantly before the people and
its true character unmasked, so that
instead of appearing as an angel of
light, like its transformed father, the
Devil, it shall stand exposed in all its
ugliness and crime. So that instead of
being regarded as a panacea for the ills
of life, it shall be known as it is, the
murderer Ofall that is fairest and best in
our Christian civilization. Instead of
being regarded as a source of revenue,
thus enriching the nation, it must be
shown to be the great promoter of
poverty and crime, and that whereas
it puts one dollar in the treasury of
the Nations wealth it takes ten out.
There must be organization. The
trafi has grOn to such enormous pro-
portions and wields such a mighty
power that nothing short of the most
complete organization can succeed.
Temperance workers must under
stand each other. 1t will not do for
one to say am of Paul, and another,
l am of ApOllOs," &c.
They must stand eye to eye and work
shoulder to shoulder in this tremen-
dOus achievement-th destruction of
the rum power.
In short, it is my firm conviction
that not until good men of all shades
and grades of political opinion shall
unite and cast a concentrated ballot
shall this cause succeed.

" Gyped " by Gypsies.

The gypsies that were located near
Dover short time ago were a hard
lot One of the women connected with
them duped several parties around
town. One woman in Lewisville, who
believed in her charm working and
fortune telling, at the gypsy's solicita-
tiOn, placed $24 at three different times
with her. She told her to let her wrap
up her money for her and she would
guarantee her two dollars for one.
The first lot she wrapped up was 50,
the next IS and the last 81, making $24
in all. After the gypsy had wrapped
the cash up securely, she told the inno-
cent banker to let it alone and not un-
wrap it until the charm had time to
complete the doubling-up process.
Two weeks afterward, or on February
1st, she concluded to take peep and
see how much her capital had increased.
The wrappings We're taken of, but to
her surprise, there was not only no in
crease, but the investment had de-
creased to such an extent that there
was absolutely nothing left-in fact, as
might have been expected, her money
was gone. The gypsy was gone also,
but armed with warrant and accom-
panied by an officer Mrs. Hayes, the
victim, started out to hunt both. The
gypsies were found near Brenford, but
though thorough search of the camp
was made the swindler could not be
found, and Mrs. Hayes returned home
a wiser if sadder woman.
Another young woman was swindled
out of a new flannel skirt by the same
woman. She was just finishing the
skirt when the gypsy came in and
wanted to sit on it for luok.n When
she departed the skirt went with her.
This was had luck for the young girl,
but then people who will allow such
cattle as gypsies to come around them
must expect nothing but bad luck.

The Locomotive in Winter,

In Winter there is vast difference
between riding in the comfortable train
coaches, and in the cab of a lOcOmO-
tive, especially when a furious
norther" piles the snow up in
drifts along the track. The engine
caws like crow, haugh, haugh, as it
takes header into huge drift, throw
ing the binding spray far over in the
rear. Once through, the locomotive
lurches and staggers, like drunken
man, because the frost has disturbed
the track and made it lumpy. The
wind bites and stings as it finds its
way into the cab through crevices.
The headlight is covered up in snow,
and were it not, it would show nothing
ahead through the driving storm. In
the daytime it is no better, for at few
feet ahead the rails run straight up
into the air, while beyond all is blank.
The fireman says nothing to his
lngee," as the locomotive means and
creaks, but mutual glances say plainly,
Is she stripping ?n Under the sense
OF this danger a locomotive cab is a
dreary place indeed on a Winters
night, for to the unknown troubles of
the track ahead comes the added one
OF connecting reds being broken and
forced through into the cab by strip
ping on the sides. To an observer the
locomotive appears at this time the
very incarnation of power, equalled by
few more impressive sights in the
world. In the rapid expansion and
condensation of steam in the cylinders,
which serve as the outer covering to
muscles that strike out terrific blows.

comes from miles away, on the breath

Some men are never satisfied. Here
with the thermometer below zero, at
home we have Engineer Melville talk
ing of getting up another expedition
to the North Pole. He actually ad-
dressed the United States Service
Club at Philadelphia Thursday even
ing On this project, and had the eff
frOntery to tell his shivering auditors
that it was worth a year Of a mans
life to see a real Arctic iceberg. Heas-
serted his belief that the pole could be
reached by way of Franz Josef land,
provided the land held out 10 $50 north
latitude. AT al events, now is the
time to continue the effort" he cheer
ingly added; 1.-THE pole is attainaole
and the scientific world will not be sat
isfed until the problem is solved" All
the same, Mr. Melville, the unsolentific
world would rather ses the equator
than either or both poles just now
