Are you in earnest, Mr.. Hankinson?'
The lovely girl who asked this question of
Marcelus Hankinson sat behind the center ia BILE
with her hands in her lap and regarded the
young man lntently.
In earnest, Irene?" he exclaimed, pale with
emotion and chronic dyspepsia, the whole hap
piness of my life is wrapped up in your answer

your future in my hands, my life shall be de-
voted to the task of making you happy. 1t will
be my sole aim to shield you from the rude
blasts of all adversely, to smooth your pathway
through the world, to interpose my right arm
between you and every danger that threatens to
disturb your peace. and"

MY angel, never would want to spend them

You would never break my heart by joining
a club or becoming drinking man."
Hear me, Irene 1 promise never to do

Gov. Robert Taylor, of Tennessee, was
elected to the office with flying colors. He
distanced his brother, who was the Repub-
hcan candidate. The fact is he was a very
popular mar in Tennessee, and the people
of the Eastern portion of the State were
particularly gratified at his nomination
over one of the strongest politicians of the
State. He is not so popular now as he was
when elected. During the campaign he
announced his position on certain questions
and has since failed to live up to it, In
fact, it is charged that he has faced about
on these questions. 1t is not probable that
he will find the Governorship stepping
stone to the United states Senate.

Congressman Allen, of Mississippi, is
somewhat of a wit. In reply to question
concerning his tariff views he said: You
must excuse me. Before l make up my
mind on the tariff | shall have to hear my
self speak on the subject" That is very
good for wit, but does Mr.. Allen realize
that the tariff is very important question
just now, and that if he doesn't hurry up
and diffuse some light for himself on the
subject, some fellow who has decided views
may capture the Congressional nomination
in his district

Chicago seems to be angry because she

One of the papers of that city says ST.
Louis people are now wearing spring over
coats; in March they will put on spring
underwear; in April they will discard their
collars and wear linen dusters in May they
will begin to simmer, and by June l they
will be par-boiled. Those who have sur
vived up to this time will probably be able
TO exist until the convention meets. Chi
cago should not be hoggish, if she is a
Western city. Two conventions in 1884 and
one in-1SSS ought 10 satisfy her.

Statistics which have lately been prepared

Statistics which have lately been prepared
regarding church-going in Maine are ex-
citing much interest in religious circles. 1t
is shown that out of a population of about
100000 the average church attendance is
only 1000. There are !, 1892 pastorates in
the State, and All of them are vacant, while
others have bare existence. Maine seems
to be very good missionary ground 1t
might not be bad idea to give missionaries
little experience there before sending them
to foreign fields.

CURED in Fond d'Lac, Wis, the other day. A
farmer named Mertise drove into town with a
load of wheat and stopped at a street corner to
await buyers. None appearing and the street
seeming unusually quiet, he made INQUIRIES
and learned for the first time that il was sun
day, and, Of course, all the good wheat buyers
were at church. The best part of the story is
that MIR Mertlse Is a churchgoer.

ON TRIAL FOR HER LIFE.

THE TELLER MURDER CASE OPENED,
The district court is occupied with
the trial of Mrs. Teller for the murder
of her husband, and interest in the
case as the trial proceeds is increas-
ing. A jury has been secured and
the case for the prosecution was pre-
sented to the jury by Mr.. Jones
yesterday, and when he finished
his address to the jury w. l..
Major, the first witness, was put
on the stand. He testified 70

on the morning of the 3lst Of May
1887 in iron, of the dcceased's resi-
, dcnce. On the myrning following the
murder he returned TO whore he
discovered the body and found the
coroner and jury there the skull OF
the dead man appeared to have been
broken by u blunt instrument. On
cross examination Mr.. Major admitted
having deep interest in the prose-
cution of the case. after considerable
discussion as to the admissability OF II
question of Mr.. Forster, the witness
was excused.
A letter presumed to have been
written by Mrs. Teller the day after
the murder to her brother, describing
how the murder was committed, was
offered in evidence. In the letter she
stated that her husband drew pistol
on her and she shot him twice, and
after emptying the contents oil her
pistol on him she pounded him with
a club An objection was offered to
the reading OF this letter on the ground
that it was written in cipher, but the
objection was overruled. John Dugan
was next placed on the stand, but hi'
testimony was of no special interest
