The interior of the plain building
wore an air OF strange simplicity in
these days, when cushioned pews and
elegant carpets are seen in nearly all
churches The pine floor was white
and clean. A dozen straight-backed
seats were on either side of a narrow
aisle, and fronting these were four
others on a raised platform. A com
mon bOX-stOVe stood in the corner, and
also small walnut table on which was
lying roll of paper which proved to
be the marriage certificate. The slid
ing partition, which was open on this
occasion, showed US that the mems side
of the house was similarly furnished
with the exception of the table.
The male portion of the audience
sat with their hats on, and both men
and women had their heads b. Mt
slightly forward with eyes half closed,
as if engaged IN silent devotion. No
fresh arrival caused one face to turn
toward the door to see who the new
conner was. Even little children,
whose mischievOus pranks sOrely tried
my patience in the schoolrOOm, now sat
demure and silent, and there was no
air OF expectancy on any countenance.
At last the wedding party entered,
but not to the sound of wedding march,
for no music, either vocal or Instru-
mental, is ever heard In a Quaker
Westinghouse. They passed on to the
platform and seated themselves facing
the little assemblage gathered there to
witness the ceremony. Ten minutes
more Of silence, when they rose, and
the couple to be married Joined their
right hands, and the gentleman said in
rather low but distinct tones:
"In the presence of the Lord take
thee, Ruth Stiles, to be my welded
wife, promising with divine assistance
to be unto the5 a loving and faithful
husband until death shall separate us. "
In IsmulOus tones the bride then
repeated the same words, merely sub
stituting @David Hill" and husband"
for "wife.
They sat down again, and after an
other short period of silence one old
gentleman arose and shook hands with
another, and the meeting had closed.
Many friends signed the certificate
as witnesses of the important ceremony
which had transformed an Indian
mission schooI-teacher into the wife of
a well-tO-dO farmer. - Detroit Free

delight and profit Of his employers and

Not long after they CHANGED to meet
and Mr.. Aston enquirsd:

Baby Ba Terror.

Everybody has seen a new papa try
ing to manage his primal offspring In a
street-car. The more primal it happens
70 be the harder it is to manage.
If papa is the sort Of a man he ought
to lie his chief ambition is to prevent
his fellOw-passengers from getting on
to the fact that he Is new in the bust
ness. He particularly desires to pass
for a veteran.
Baby, however. sever for a moment
overlOOks the fact that he is only an
amateur.
Its first move is to turn a summer
sault OF the papa's uuaccustOmed knees
and stand on its little intellect in the
aisle, thus bothering people about get
ing of and on the car and effectually
preventing the sad-eyed conductor from
collecting the fares. Then, when papa
dares to disagree with this original and
startling flight of fancy and move the
previous question, the delights OF baby
farming suddenly materialize and be-
come distinctly visible to the naked
eye.
With an intellectual whoop that
caused the sad-lOOking passenger on
the rear platform to drop the cigar
from between his lips, baby throws

out like "a telescope. Its dear little
head plays the great battering-ram act
on a dyspeptic-loOking passenger on
papa's right, and its cute little tOOtsies
get all tangled mp in the real point
lace worn by a superciliOus young
lady on papa's left. Its darling little
hands are, of course, tangled up in
papa's whiskers. And all the time baby
is wailing a high and heartless air from
the latest opera
OF course, every eye in the car is
fixed upon papa, and ne suddenly be-
comes aware Of the fact that he is max
ing history.
So is baby.
By the time the little darling has
kicked a hundred dollars worth of lace
OF of the aristOcratic dress, and
loosened most of the digestive appara-
tus OF the victim of dyspepsia, papa has
succeeded IN once more getting hold OF
the thread Of the argument
He seems TO hesitate between tossing
his burden out of the car window and
stuthng 1t under the seat His face is
about the color of a healthy lobster,
and a wild yearning to go of some
whore and die and become a glorious,
care-free angel has laid violent hands
on him. But through it all he never for
a moment loses sight of the fact that he
Is a parent
The baby won't let him.
At last he rises IN a broken-hearted
way, stumbIes over the feet of every
body in the car, and in sheer despera-
ton stops the car and conducts the
remainder of his kindergarten on foot.
But through it all he is, of course, de-
hriously happy.
He certainly looks it. - RebOJOth

Two Hungarian peasants were one
night driving home to Makad from
market at kecskemet. The road leads
over wide puszta district, through
Scent AiiklOs, and Just outside the lat
ter place, past the fatal hill on which
some years ago a gallows used to stand
1t was twilight, between dog and wolf
as the saying Is IN South Germany.
The keen-eyed peasant saw soon
enough that the hangman had been st
work and dispatched a dark man of
honor into the next world. Filled with
curiosity, they left their vehicle and
walked toward the gallows. The cul-
prit was gypsy, against whose being
hanged the peasants would hardly have
objected; but to their astonishment they
found that he not only was quite warm,
but that his heart was still slowly beat
ing. After holding a little conference
the peasants cut the man down, put
him into their cart, and drove off Be
fore long the gypsy. began to return to
consciousness, the color came back into
his face, and nothing remained of his
late experience but certain feeling of
discomfort AT the next public house
the peasants stopped to take a drink
after their success in doing Justice out
Of one of her sacrifices. The innkeeper,
who was we'll known to be always on the
side of thieves, shook with loud laugh
ter as the men told of their adventure.
But the thick end Of the wedge appeared
when the two Samaritans, after a deep
draught, came back to their cart, for
the ungrateful brigand had driven away
in spite of the certain feeling of dis
comfort. He had, however, not quite
counted the cost. The peasants Dor
roWed the innkespers two fresh horses
and soon the gypsy was Overtaken, to
be driven back and once more hanged
on the same gallows. To tell the
truth, adds the writer, the dilettanti
were cleverer IN this case than the pro
fessional hangman, for the brigand was
this time quite dead After a short
time the story became public the peas
ants were imprisoned, and their case
kept the cleyerest lawyer of the day for
a long time hard at Work.-Berlin

- Mines hi MIssonrI.

Tradition tells of the existence of
rich silver miues south of the Dent
County line, in Shannon. These mines
were worked in the last century by
Spaniards or Frenchmen, according to
tradition, and the silver bars were
shipped down the Current River in
little fatboats. But with all the
searching, later explorers have not
been able to discover the old workings.
The best information locates the rich
lodes In the wild, mountainous country
between the Dent County line and En-
inence, the county seat of Shannon.
One of the strongest believers in the
tradition is DR.. Terrell He lives IN
the northern part of Shannon, Prac-
tees his profession among the noun
taineers, and occupies all his leisure
days hunting for the lost silver mines.
He has been doing this for years. He
carries giant powder, and prospects
wherever he finds good indications, all
