II am Judge Dalton. I happen to
need clerk to attend to my Office, and
boss around generally when I am on
circuit duties. Edwin Baxter, you will
suit me precisely. I can offer you fair
wages-not enough to turn your head,
at first,-and you can read law in the
meantime"
Edwin was delighted to accept the
Judges terms, and they soon settled
about wages, ETC., as the young man
was requested to enter on his Office
duties that very day.
II had a number of applicants for
the position have just accorded you,
said the Judge, as he prepared to de-
part. "But had heard something of
you through your uncle, and I was de-
sirous to meet you. Still, had it not
been for something / heard yesterday,
I might not have reserved the position
for your refusal. My dear young man,
let me thank you for your kindness to
my wife and daughter yesterday, on
the train coming up to the city,"
Little had Edwin dreamed that the
ladies to whom he had shown courtesy
on the train, the day before, were the
wife and daughter of the great Judge
Dalton.
What would Charles Elder say?
How would he feel?
That elegant young man arrived
three days later, and was driven to
Judge Dalton's stately city residence.
He was shown into the handsomely
furnished drawing-room.
A young lady received him. 1t was
Amy Dalton, still dressed plainly but
most becomingly.
He was haunted by the thought that
he had seen the girls face somewhere.
before.
The affair on the train had quite de-
serted his memory for the present
But when he was presented to Mrs.
Dalton, who soon appeared to welcome
him, he recognized them both.
He had the manliness to stammer out
some kind of an apology, but the Judge
just then entered and relieved him.
"Of course, Mr.. Elder, you could not
know they were my wife and daughter.
Let it pass.
Eve have sometime yet before din
ner. Let us 60 to the Office and look
over your fathers business. Miss Dali
ton will excuse you.
Charles Elder found Edwin busy and
happy in Judge Dalton's Office.
When the old gentleman stepped
out young Elder approached Edwin's
desk, and said:
II did make sad mistake that day,
Ed, and Tn heartily ashamed ofmyself
for it. But they were dressed SO plainly,
hadn't the remotest idea of their being
Mrs. and Miss Dalton"
"Dress does not make the person,
Charles, to quote hackneyed saying"
returned Edwin.
$50 I now believe. And you
have taught me something else, Ed:
To practice courtesy towards all and in
all places"
Charles Elder remained few days
in the city, the guest of Judge Dalton,
then took the cars for B
Edwin Baxter was q faithful clerk and
student. In two years he was admitted
to the bar, and, in due time, he was
taken into partnership with the Judge.
When he visited B again, he did
not 60 alone. Miss Amy Dalton ac-
companied him in the happy relation of

Mount Davidson and cut the large
mineral bearing veins known to ex-

would no doubt have been done

was abandoned. If the effort to be

 An old citizen of the Fourth ward, who had always been democrat. vowed when Stephen A. Douglass was defeated in 1860 never To again cast a ballot while the re- publican party had control of the govern ment. He has strictly kept that resolution ever since. A peculiar circumstance co h. nected with the case is the fact that since he refrained from voting he has never eaten any substantial food in the morning, a cup of coffee being the only nourishment partaken of until noon, although prior to 1860 his appetite in the morning used to be ravenous. Yesterday morning, after drinking his cup of coffee, he went to work but at o'clock he developed vigorou. appetite and going home he ate until his good wife thought it time to interfere. This he thinks is a sure omen of the sue cess of the democratic party next Novem- ber He will vote for Cleveland and Thur man this time and he has four sons who will do the same.-Bridgepor Farmer.
