Never Loved q Woman.

Mr.. Ingersoll Lockwood delivered
a lecture in Mott Memorial Hall,
64 Madison avenue, Wednesday af-
ternoon, on "Washington in Love-
washington never had any YOUTH
said the lecturer, and went out into
the world without the slightest con-
ception of a woman's love. His
life was regulated by a code of max
inns of duty in which woman was
not mentioned. He could use pet
terms, but when he said: "Let me
put my arm around yoor soft neck
and Law my cheek against yours
it was to his horse he spoke, and
"Sweet Sips' was pet name for
one of his dogs. lie never wrote
"Dear mother in his.life. He ad-
dressed his mother as Respected
madam" Nowhere is there any
evidence that Washington's love
for his wife was Of the tender nature
of first love" The lecturer be-
lieved that the passion for the
"Lowland maid" when he was not
quite 16, which is recorded in his
journal, Was the first and enly love
Washington ever had.

this sport. He carried a large knife
in his belt. He stationed an Indi-
an thirty or forty feet away on the
ice, and the two monopolized the
sport of propelling San-we-nah to
and fro between them.
The boy made no resistance, but
he had noticed the knife in the
chiefs belt and determined to make
a bold stroke for liberty. Nerving
himself for the effort, he snatched
the knife from the Indians belt as
he stopped to shove him across the
ice, and timed himself so we'll that
the Indian had given the shove
without noticing the abstracting of
his knife. AS the boy shot over the
smooth surface he cut the thongs
that held his feet together and quick
as flash sprang to his feet and the
next instant was dexterously dodg-
ing in and out among the assembled
and now excited throng Of Indians,
brandishing the knife and maneu-
vering for an avenue of escape from
the now bowling Nanticokes. At
last with one bold dash he flew on
bis skates straight toward the chief,
who moved out to stop his way.
The boy drove the knife to the hilt
in the chiefs breast, and with a
quick sweep to the right sped away
up the river, followed by a shower
of arrows and bullets, from all of
which he escaped uninjured. He
soon disappeared from the sight of
the enraged Nanticokes.
Two days later he reached the
village of his own tribe, who had
long given him up for lost. The
Senecas at once declared war against
the Nanticokes, and for two years
fierce and bloody contest was
waged, hundreds of both tribes be-
ing slain. The Nanticokes at last
sued for peace, and were ever after
ward subservient to the Senecas.
The skates which were the cause of
all the bloodshed fell into the hands
of Benjamin Frailey, an Indian
trader, about the time the Revolu-
tionary War began, and they and
their tradition have been the prop
erty of his descendants ever since.

Assure Nothing.

A tall Missourian called at the
district school, and, eyeing the
teacher, said:
"My son Harry tells me you
whipped him last night"
"Yes, assentcd the teacher, edg-
ing toward the door, "but he desrved
it, / assure YOU"
"And he says you used rawhide

FLIRTING WITH A PICKPOCKET

About ten days ago three young
Middletown ladies were riding or
the elevated Railroad in Brooklyn
on their way to New York, where
one of the party was to purchase
silk dress. They were a lively
vivacious party, and when they
caught sight of charming speci'
men of the "dude species sitting
opposite, and who sported an ele-
CANT diamond ring, they proceeded
straight way to mash" him. He
accepted the challenge, and before
the bridge was reached the firta,
ton had progressed SO far that the
dude had seated himself beside the
party and they were having jolly
time. The bridge being reached the
dude arose, reg:etting his inability
to accompany them, and they sep
arated amid much merriment.
On reaching the store in the city
where the young lady was to make
her purchase, a selection was made,
the goods cut off, ond she put her
hand in her pocket for the pur.
chase money, $50, which she had
been carefully saving for some
time, when, to her horror and NOR
tification, it was gone, she we'll
knew where. She took everything
that her pockets contained carefully
out, and with tears streaming down
her face, she told of her loss, affirm.
ing that that young fellow that we
hirted with has stolen my pocket
book" when, to her amazement.
she drew from her pocket dia-
mond ring. 1t was at once recog-
nized by the party as the ring the
"dude-pick-up" had worn. and
which he lost from his finger as he
was extracting her pocketbook. 1t
was evidently very valuable gem,
and brought with its beautiful rays
a ray of hope to the poor girls
heart, who felt she was being pun
ished quite severely enough for her
indiscretion. The clerk examined
the stone and offered to let her
have the dress for it.
Her companions advised her to
sell it, however, feeling that it was
worth more than $50. She said,
amid the smiles of her friends,
"I'm afraid he'll have nae arrested
| if | sell it," mo fear" said the
clerk, she'll have another one, prob
ably, before night, in the same way
he got this, which accounts for the
poor fit" The party then left the
store for an uptown jewelers.
where they sold the ring for $500.
They then went back to the store
bought the dress and went home
$12O ahead for the days adventure,
which they were only too happy to
have end as it did; but firmly re-
solved not to do any more flirting,
althoughit it had ended 80 fortunately
| in this case.-Middletown Argus.

FIVE GHOST STORIES.

]. H. Cook of Springfield, Mass,
relates an instance that came under
his observation, where a house was
violently shaken and doors and
windows made to rattle, while a
spiritualistic medium was sitting at
table awaiting communication
with the unseen world.
A Boston woman, the wife of ma
val officer, was taken sick at Callao,
South America, and remained un-
conscious for several hours. When
she recovered she said that she had
visited new, strange land, and
seen a number of people whom she
had known years before, all OF
whom had long been dead.
Gilroy, CAL, has a lively ghost.
It appears in a house where wo-
man died last December, makes
mysterious noises, upsets chairs
and displaces things generally. The
little dog, which was favorite OF
the deceased, is so terrified by the
supernatural manifestations that he
cannot be induced to enter the
room where his mistress died.
A New York woman was sur
prised recently by a visit from the
ghost of her husband, who informed
her that his brother had died that
day in Ireland, and who, not know
ing that his New York relative was
dead, had willed him $1,000. The
ghost directed the widow to go to 7
certain office on Broadway and
show his naturalization papers, as
lit would assist in getting the money.
