Three days aftcrward Mr.. Rivers
entered the Talboys' shop with hlswifo
to buy muslin for some white cravats.
Mrs. Talboys felt little nervous. Was
she about TO be called upon TO justify
herselfP she wondered. But the clergy
man was very cheerful; and his wife,
radiant with good humor, cried out:
"You must miss dear Miss Chauncy
very much, Mrs. Talboys. She was SO
handy"
"lndeed, Thomas Edwards is born
for business" said Mrs. Talboys. "And

find them. Won't thoyPn said Mrs.

"She was so ely" said Mrs. Tai

"Oh, no" said the minister's wife.
"Mr. Charles Dearborn said that they
had only just become engaged. He
told my husband so. As little boy ho
loved her dearly, and he came back in
tending to win her, but she did not
know it. They are 10 be married on
Wednesday. The Dearborns telegraph
their best wishes, and think dear Mrs.
Chnuncy is the happicst woman ever
saw. Such happy ending to her
daughters trials; and Charles has
promised to be son to her. Why,
Mrs. Talboys, how pale you look"
al am not very we'll" said Mrs. Tai
boys. "Malaria, think"
And Mr.. Talboys grinned ghastly
grin, and said:
GLOW very nice for every body"
from his place amongst the red ilanncls,
where he looked as green as n cucum-
ber, for he knew il was not "vcry nice"
for him that his wife had insulted the
woman who was to be Mr.. Charles
Deurborn's wife and an accepted men,
Der OF the Dearborn family; and in the
end indeed it proved his destruction,
for the Dearborns took their custom to
good old Mr.. CrHtchley, who was a
very honest tradesmau, and who was
content with fair profits, and the best
people in the town followed them at
once.
Carriages stood at Crutchley's door,
and even black Sam took his wheel
barrow no more to Talboys' shop for
shoe strings. but left it in the road be-
fore Crutchley's, where you got three
for five cents, and all with good tags;
and to crown all Thomas Edwards ono
morning robbed the till, forged his en-
ployer's namo to n check to large
amount, and escaped to parts un-
known.
Poor things! l am very sorry for
them," said young Mrs. Charles Dear
born, as she one day drove with her
husband past the shop where she had
served and saw the red flag, that told
OF sheriff's sale, floating from its
door,

ling" commented her husband; and
hers was the only word of kindness or
pity that followed the Talboys in their
downfall,-M Y. Ledger.

Ready to Meet His Fate.

One day, during the last part of the
war, Dir. Willis Westmoreland was
dressing the wound of a soldier who
had been shot in the neck, near the
carotid artery. Suddenly the blood
vessel gave way, and just as quickly
the surgeon thrust his finger into the
hole to stop the flow. Doctor" said
he, what does that mean?" at means

these were done, said quietly: "Let it

and the blood rushed out, and soon the
man was dead. Cleveland Leader.

The Costa Rica Coffee Mart.

Not far from this point, just off the
main street and around the nearest
corner, is the market plaza, which the
stranger will find we'll worth n visit.
Here, especially on Sundays, will be
found q busy scene, every booth, store
and stall crowded, and the arcades
which shade three sides of the buzzing.
busy space, all packed with eagerly
vociferating Costa Ricans. Carts pass
continually to and fro, laden with mer-
chandise for the interior or carrying
coffee down to the landing. 1t is not
easy to convey with the pen an accurate
picture of these clumsy structures. A
pole projects from an o5long frame, to
which an axle is bolted underneath.
The ends of the axle protrude through
enormous wheels of solid cedar, the
latter being Mt least four inches across
the tire and five feet in diameter.
Within these ponderous wheels is some
open cane-work, which supports an
awning OF untanned OK hide. Upon n
platform at the bottom of the box thus
formed, lies the load generally coffee,
sewn up in bags OF coarse white cotton.
Each cart will carry from 800 to 1000
pounds of coffee, and the freightage
thereon averages seventy-five cents
per 100 pounds. Over the bags another
OK hide is fastened with thongs of
leather, and dangling outside are the
water-gourd, iron pot and other utensils
for use along the road. PHILADELPHIA

Common-Sense Bonnets.

There is certainly n change for the
better in the shape and size of winter
bonnets. Women who this timo last
year sought n head-covering for the
genuine protection 1t would afford them
were in despair. The old favorite
shapes disappeared like magic, and
they were simply informed in the shops
that they "were not worn," and bon
net any wider of crown than two hands
put together in the shape OF shed roof
it was impossible to procure at any
price. The folly OF fashion was carried
to still more ludicrous and inartistic
extreme by the brimS, which were out
of all proportion to their absurdly high
crowns and face trimmings, This sea-
son all the eXaggerations arc modified;
the bonnets are larger, and shield the
back of tho head almost entirely, which
the horseshoe style OF last winter did
not. The bonnet is now really n bon
net, and not the diminutive toy head
gear that it was.-M T. Post.

JOE TOOLE'S JOKE.
PROPOSES A NEW LAND DISTRICT
FOR NORTHERN MONTANA.
The Delegate Saves People the Trouble
of Selecting the Place for the New
Land Ofice-Other Bills He
Has Introduced.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-Mr. Toole's
bill for an additional land district for
| Montana, to be known as the Fort Benton
district, describes the new district as fol-
lows:
Commencing at 9 point in the middle of
the main channel of the Missouri river
opposite to the mouth of Deep creek,
thence due east to intersect with the 1OSth
meridian Of longitude, thence due north
along the 10Sth meridian to the intersec-
ton of the 49th parallel Of latitude.
thence due west along the 10th parallel
to a point directly north of Medicine
Tree hill, thence due south to the main
range of the Rocky mountains, thence
along the summit of said mountains in a
southerly direction to the head of the
most %northerly branch of the Sun river
that heads in the Rocky mountains thence
in an easterly direction down the middle
of said branch of the Sun river to its
mouth. thence down the middle of the
main channel of the Sun river to the
middle of the main channel of the Mis-
souri, river to the point of beginning.
Mr.. Toole also introduced his bill Of
last session prohibiting the appointment
of any person to a federal office until he
had lived long enough in the territory to
become a qualified ~electcr.
Delegate Toole's bill providing for a
diminished Crow reservation in Montana
authorizes the secretary of the interior
to negotiate with the Crows for a reduc-
ton Of their reserve. Two thousand five
hundred dollars is appropriated to defray
the expenses of these negotiations.
Toole's bill to amend the alien land act
provides that the law shall not be CON
strued as affecting mining property. His
bill for a public building at Helena pro-
vides for an appropriation of $4,000 this
year in place of the $4,000 asked for
last veal.

of over 10000 Reading coal miners and

man of the coal miners organization tel
egraphs Bradstreet's that the miners did
not agree to accept lower wages Or for
mer wages after January /, and an exam
ination OF the agreement between the
miners and the Reading officials seem to
bear out the miners view of it. They
were to receive 8 per cent advance until
January |; now they strike for a continu-
ance of the rate. Leading money mar
kets are easier. The January disburse-
ments at eastern centers a~ggregating

Wolves in Wisconsin.

WINoNA, Minnesota, January 10. -
Farmers from across the river report
wolves very plentiful all through the
n~eighbofing Wisconsin counties. "A day
or two ago five large wolves attacked Mr..
Parmerlee's little children while crossing
the Trempelaeau river in the town of
Dodge and chased them home. One of
the children had his clothing completely
torn off, and the flesh badly lacerated. Mr..
Hdnt had six sheep killed in one night.
As the snow is two feet deep and crusted
the wolves find it very hard to get food,
and are made 50 bold by hunger that they
prowl around the country and bowl in the
daytime. AT Alma, two wolves have been
killed within the city limits, and several
back in the country. In this county wolves
are unusually plentiful and bold, and
quite a number has been killed. In the
towns of Elba and Rollingstone they are
especially numerous.

Another Dakota Move.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-The senate
committee ON territories held a meeting
recently, and practically decided upon d
bill which shall be laid before the senate
for it's action. The Harrison bill was
taken as a basis for consideration, and
the new bill modelled upon that. 1t will
provide for the submission of the state
constitution to the people of South
Dakota on August - next. and upon the
ratification, the south half of the terri
tory, as far north as the seventh standard
parallel, will become a f~ull-hedged state,
able to vote at the next presidential cleo
ton for state officers, congressman and
president. The north half is organized
into a territory to be called North
Dakota. The committee voted that
Dakota's admission should be the first
business brought by it before the senate.
The democrats of the committee made no
opposition to the bill, but simply smiled
at the project of admitting Dakota before
the next presidential election. Senator
Platt introduced a bill for the admission
of North Dakota.

Canada Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-When Mr..
Chamberlain returned from Canada it
was expected from some statements
which he made that the dominion govern
ment had concluded to recede from some
of the demands which had been made at
the former meeting, and that an agree
ment would be made to submit to arbi-
tration the definition of the boundary of
the headlands, and of the rights of Amer
leans in Canadian ports. These state
ments We're based upon the belief that no
further present attempt would be made
by Canada to negotiate a reciprocity
treaty. Well informed persons are conf
dent that the negotiations will be pro-
tracted, and that Canada will renew the
effort to secure some agreement in the
nature of a commercial treaty, and in
both instances the information comes
from the same persons, and they have
derived it from the same sources. The
senate has as yet had nothing to say as to
the fishery conference, Notwithstanding
the somewhat f1amboyant declarations of
senators before congress con
vened. But if, Notwithstanding the poor
reception the first proposal of the Cana
dian government met at the hands Of the
commissioners, a new attempt is to be
made to negotiate a commercial treaty. it
is very probable that the opponents of
such a measure in the senate will EN-
to ascertain whether they can call
upon the executive department to learn
what it is all about.
