EDITH'S FORTUNE.
By MABEL ELLIOTT.

Edith Williams lived in a little
country village with her uncle who
pretended that he was very poor,
but in reality he Was a miscr, and
had about two hundred thousand
dollars stored up in tie garnet for
her when she was grown up.
Edieth kept house for her uncle,
and he liked her 50 much that when
she asked if she could have 9 birth
day party he said yes.
When the day came end she had
all things ready for the party and
put on her best dress, her uncle
said che thought he would
go out" Edith begged him
to stay, but he said che would be
back in a few hours, and she would
have to let him CO." which she did
with a heavy heart.
Her uncle went straight to a law
yer he knew, and finding him in
said, 81 want to get life insur-
ance," so if anything happened to
me Edith would be all right.
The lawyer recommend cer-
tain Insurance Company, and said
he better have a two hundred
thousand dollar insurance, and Mr..
Williams (for that was his nance
said that would do, and paid cash
down.
1t was showing fearfully when
he cot out of the door, and he had
walked about two blocks when he
slipped on a stone, striking ms
head against stone, and he knew
no more.

Edith was entertaining her
guests, when there came a loud
ring at the door. Edith cried out
something has happened to my
uncle" some of the boys rushed to
the door and opened it, two men
were there carrying a figure be-
tween them.
"Don't let the little girl know
till afterwards" they said in a
whisper; they carried him into a
bedroom and threw water into bis
face, and after a while he opened
his eyes, he moved his lips, one of
the men bent his ear SO he could
hear what he said-Edith = my
niece-rich, and that was all, and
he was dead. Edith was called in
and told of his having met his
death.
Just then the lawyer came IN the
room. and going up to Edith said,
"My girl, YOU are rich, you have
four hundred thousand dollars; two
hundred thousand by insurance.
/ and he had the rest saved up for
you, and l will telephone to the
Insurance Company.
Edith got her money next day.

Trotters for Buenos Ayres.

Nothing has been heard of late con-
corning the scheme into which Secre-
tary Fasig, of the Cleveland track, and
Pennsylvania capitalist have entered,
and which contemplateS the shipment
to Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic.
OF ship load of American trotters, If
the plan is ever carried out it will be an
illustration of American enterprise. if
nothing else, for the idea is to take
along besides the horses complete out
fit in the way of sulkieS,- harness, ETC.,
and to have three or four drivers Oh
hand, so that races, whereby the actual
merits of the horses can be shown,
may be trotted after the animals
have recovered from the effects of
the sea voyage. There is a pretty fair
track at BuenoS .Ayres, and as the peo-
pie are passionately fond of all kinds of
sport it is not unlikely that good trade
in roadsters and trotterS with this coun-
try could be built up. The South Ameri-
cans are said to be far more inclined to
the trotter than the runner, although
there are several good specimens of the
thoroughbred in the country, and it will
be remembered that last year couple
that were cracks in England-St. Mirin
and Gay Hermit-were taken there
for racing purposes. For some
reason or other they have not
turned out well, and the latest heard
from them was that they had been
beaten by Cormeilles, French colt,
that was not much thought of last year,
although, of course, he was above the
average little. Probably the English
horses have gone back on their form
from climatic reasons, or are suffering
from want of proper training. because
it is certain that when St. Mirin is at
himself, he can give Cormeilles ten
pounds and beating over any distance
of ground.

Chamnion Medium,

The stallion Champion Medium by
Happy Medium, dam by Almont, that
made a record not long ago of 2:36
and Tapped Iona out at Minneapolis in
2::22 last September, has been purchased
by Gen. w. T. Withers, Of Lexington,
KY, who bred him. 1t is understood
that Withers bought the stallion for
breeding purposes, as he combines the
blood of the two famous sires that died
the property Of that gentleman. There
was no really high-class son
of Happy Medium owned at Fair
lawn to take his place, and as
this one is nicely bred and has shown
the ability TO trOt mile close to 2:20 it
was decided to secure him. The only
one of.the old-time stations left at Fair
lawn LOW is Aberdeen, and in the
nature of things he is not likely to live
great many years, and so the scheme
of getting in some young stations is a
wise one. In purchasing Champion
Medium Gen. Withers shows that he
has been obliged: in spite of his aver
sion TO doing so, to cater to the popular
demand for stallion that can show
speed, and in order to get good one of
this class he was obliged to go into the
open market and buy q horse that he
himself had bred and sold.

GRANT ON GUARD.
A True Story Of Between the
States.
Hartford Post.

Hartford Post.
1t was driZzly day, only short time
before Gen. Grant drove the enemy
from Petersburg and moved toward Five
Forks and Appomattox. A chill NORTH
east gale made oyercoats comfortable
even there, and more men who could
wore them than left them off.
A sentinel down toward the river,
near some storehouSes, shivered as he
strobe to and fro Oh his post, his gum
lock under his arm to keep off the wet.
He was a raw recruit from ''DOwn
East" sent out to fill the ranks Of a
regiment which had lost one-half its
men since the campaign began.
He saw man in a regulation over
coat and with SLOUGH hat, but with the
steady carriage of veteran, passing
along a few rods away, and he called
out to him:
''say. friend, have you any terbacker

"An' l chaw, and dasn't smoke on post.
Say, couldn't you stand post a
minute till run over to the suffers
yonder?''
Il could" said the other, with grim
smile on his face, and then he. added:
81 will. Give me your gun and orders"
'sThere isn't no order only to hail any
body going anigh them stores, and to
stop 'em as has no business there"
So the sentry, relieved of his post,
hurried 20 the suffers for his desired
tobacco. Returning promptly, he took
his gun and quietly said:
eff L get chance I'll do as much for
you, friend. What regiment be you
in?''

"What, to the generals guard?
What's your name?"
The quiet-looking man puffed out a
cloud of smoke and said: my name is
Grant"
''Great Jerusalem!'' gasped the
sentinel. Il have been relieved by
General Grant himself, and didn't
know him."
How could he, when not a mark of
the generals rank was in sight, and
the poor fellow was yet too green in
service to know what fault he had
committed in yielding post and gun to
any but his regular rellefT'

PLEASURE.

Pleasure IS but an idle word,
With nothing stable in it;
In many tones its voice is heard.
Still changing every minute.
In many strange and motley shapes
IL shows its laughing faces:
With artful power it aptly apes
The features of the GraceS!
We love each winsome. tempting face;
The forms, full of seduction.
We strive to clasp i'll our embrace,
Unwilling of destruction.
Each form we see we think is true,
But when our hands it touches,
Itoften fades like morning dew,
And leaves us empty clutches!
And though ne clasp it TO our side,
And safe ourselves with kissing,
1t leaves us still unsatished,
With sense of something missing!
