a LIFELONG LOVE-
The Romance Of william Warren and Miss
Adelaide Phillips.

The Romance Of William Warren and Miss
Adelaide Phillips.
William Warren, the veteran come
dian OF the Boston museum, had a ro-
nance that newspaper writer has just
made public. Few persons" says he,
"are aware that this comedian, theme
riest of the merry. carried "a lifelong
hunger in his heart. In their early
years William Warren and Adelaide
Phillips were lovers. The latter had a
father of the Eccles type. When mar
riage was proposed to her she made this
answer: 4 love you, and because l love
you will not now marry you. This
old man, my father, is helpless--a sore
trial, in truth-and he must look to me
while he lives. ! would not purchase
my own happiness by adding to your bur-
den. Let us wait, and If the good years
to come bring fruition Of our hopes We
will live for each other then. Mean
while | shall not cease to love you,
nor will I marry any other man, let
the end be what it may. The lovers
went their ways. Father Phillips,
though he abated not a jot of his devo-
tion to gin, lived on and on. Young
Adelaide grew to old womanhood, and
the great comedian went on the list Of
honored veterans of whom the world
speaks with respect. Still their love
survived, and when at last their weary
waiting ended, they once more took up
the old question, both found that OPP
portunity had come too late. They had
grown old in singleness; had formed in
eradicable habits; neither had many
wears longer to remain, and well, they
would live out their lives in the way
they had followed for generation, and
trust to the enternal future to bring
them realization Of their early dream.
Adelaide Phillips went first, the strong
base and building Of her love unshalzen
to the last. And now the other, who
like Philip Ray, had waited all his life
has found the meaning there ia II the
august experience Of : change O
worlds. " = Brooklun Ea1le,

wonder q little il stands at all;
You NAV not know, but could tell
OF blthe young faces knew 50 well,
And eager, tripping, buoyant feet
That have climbed this WALL once snug ana

TO gather the fruit BY frost made sweet
You may not know Of the path that led
Out through the orchard, hlushing RED
With Its generous weight OF autumn fruit
All kinds, all hues, all tastes TO suit;
We came the very same old way,
Save that the grass grows thick to-day
Ger paths where tho children used 70 play.
Are they ihere-the grapesf Toss down stem
remember well the taste Of them
Perhaps the frost has lost It's power,
For years ago they were not so sour.
What's that you sayY The taste Of youth
Has gone, and the famed sweet tooth"
OF age is miner 1t may be the truth.
To stand once more in that merry throng,
That beats tho winds back with laugh and song;
To watch with delight the yellow leaves
That drifted slowly across the caves;
To fear no touch OF frost or cold;
To dread no winter that ever rolled
Across the blue OF summer sky,
Or dimmed the autumn's pageantry;
10 Chamber with sure and fearless feet
For the frost-cured grapes-and find them
sweet;
To own the heart Of the careless child,

What that the world calls Joys. OF mine,

some OF the Little Rodents Can Jump and

The chisel-like front teeth OF rats and |
mice pass deeply into the iawbone, and |
they are continually nourished by q |
kind OF pulpy substance from which the
tooth is formed, and. which adds fresh
material in proportion to the daily
waste. The covering enamel Of the
front face Of the incisor teeth is much
harder than that which is laid upon the
back part of the teeth. As the enamel
and dentine of the softer part wears
away much faster than the harder front
surface, the peculiar-chisel edge struct-
ure is continually preserved. The fam
lily 'murida,n to which the mice and
rats belong, has thirty-seyen genera,
with $50 species. They are all found
in parts of the old world, but are not
natives of America. There is small
animal resembling mouse, which Is
exclusively American. This family has
eighty or more species. The little
meadow mouse is an example. Our do
nestle mice are foreigners, introduced
by our forefathers. OF the genus
mus" or mouse, there are one hun
'dred species, all natives Of the old
world. They have three simple molar
teeth in each jaw, their fore feet have
four toes and rudimentary thumb; the
hind feet have five toes; the feet can be
turned outward and the claws
hitched upon any convenient projec-
tion when descending wall.
The common mouse readily colo
nizss every region, arctic, tenn
psrate or tropical. Aristotle is said to
have made the experiment of placing
pregnant female mouse in closed
vessel filled with grain, and found in a
short time 120 mice in the vessel. The
jumping mice, or jerboas, are natives
of the Mediterranean region. Their
usual jump is ten or twelve feet 1t is
interesting to know that when mouse
is frightened and wants to hide with
her children, she takes great leaps with
her babies hanging fast to her sides.
No matter how long her jumps are or how
far she goes, every little mouse holds on
like grim death" till a safe hiding
place is found and she can rest.
l Perhaps the most amusing power the
mouse has is his ability to sing. They
show strong love for music, and a
power of initiating the song of bird.
There has been great deal written on
their singing powers, and it is discussed
whether they really do possess this
faculty, or whether it is merely tho con-
sequence of throat disease. The field
mouse sings like the cricket. / read Of
saucy little mouse who built his home
under sitting hens nest, and nibbled
the feathers off the tail OF the patient
old hen to make feather beds for her
children. San Francisco Chronicle.

Bold-What Shall We Call IT.

On last Thursday evening while Mrs.
Joseph Richards was making call at
Mrs. DR.. Browns, her horse and phaeton
being left at the hitching post, was taken
possession of by two colored girls, the
Oldest only IA years old, the other lead
ing part of the time.
After both girls had become some
what accustomed to the novelty of the
situation, that of possessing nice little
horse and phaeton, they occupied the
seat and in royal style did up the town,
taking observation of all the places Of
interest. After the missing OF the pony
and phaeton diligent and immediate
search was made, resulting in the finding
Of both intact in an alley in Mechanics
burg. The colored misses, with ambitious
desires, were found at the home Of their
mother, Mrs. Williams.

'Seuire Maddox's Court.

The reclining chairs, the upholstered
settees, the saddler's bench, shoemaker's
stool and other articles OF furniture (the
latter not upholstered) were all occupied
last Monday by an eager audience to
hear the case Of the State Of Ohio vs..
johnson Ellis, charged with assault and
battery on Nicholas Blanton. We mem
toned in our last issue that Nick was in
q critical condition, but he was able to
appear in the 'Squire's court as the in
jured party. The case was not sustained
ON the evidence before the court, so Ellis
was discharged. Nick is reported as
having said, "I'll fix it with 'em, which
assertion no one who is at all acquainted
with Mr.. Blanton will doubt. Nick's
path through life has not been strewn
with roses, and he has had to employ
his wits in number OF cases for self
protection. That he has succeeded be-
yond the average mortal can be attested
by Mr.. Fred Schermer and others who
are intimately acquainted with the ex-
Mississippian. While the court has dis
missed the case for the present, it is
quite possible there will be sequel,
and it may be safely said that there will
be other parties than Nick Blanton who
may need the vivifying effect of fish
brine as restorative for head and hair.

The jury in the case OF the State OF
Ohio vs. Ed. Blair failed to agree. The
Jury had the case under consideration
nearly two days, and stood ten to two.
As we said in our last issue, the case
created considerable excitement, and
now that that the jury has failed to
reach verdict, the work will have all
to be gone over again. This condition
Of our system Of jurisprudence shows a
weakness. The trial by jury Is one high.
ly priced, and has been handed down to
US as one Of the achievements OF our
English ancestry. And while it is ven.
cradle with age, IL is not and must not
be considered above criticism. It is ex-
tremely difficult for twelve men to see
case in the same light after carefully
hearing all the facts and honestly trying
to arrive at q just conclusion. How
much more difficult is the case Of find-
ing q verdict when men who are preju.
diced in any way allow themselves to sit
in judgment? We have no reference to
the jury in the case just mentioned, but
It so often occurs that the ends Of justice
ore nerer reached on account OF twelve
men having to be of one mind in refer.
ence to the case. To be brief in con.
clusion. could not the ends Of justice be
reached just as truly II the petit juries
were adjusted in numbers as the grand
juries are, and the verdict arrived at be
on the same basis ? 1t certainly would
be step in the right direction If some
Of our legislators would propose some
such legislation as would simplify the
now complicated methods which are
practiced in our courts OF justice.

Of willing spectators was being enter
tanned to some feats Of horsemanship
given on West Main street. The extra
ordinary effort of the driver, who was
reported to hail from Buford, was to
persuade balky horse to draw load
of coal down Main street. But his per-

crowd both failed, and wagon and coal
were left on the street as proof Of the
failure. We claim this report to be in
strict keeping with the crowd, driver
and team.
