rate, be found il easy to make excuses for
its detention in the correspondents which
passed between the original and himself, and
which he found so pleasant that he continued
it long after the close of the war.
Finally Mai Estes wrote that he bad been
appointed consul &c one of the cities Of Eng
gland and that be would take an early OPP
portunity to restore the portrait in person.
When the portiere that covered the en-
trance to one Of the handsomest houses in
Cheltenham, had been pushed aside and Helen
Conygham magnificent IN her beauty, en-
tered, Maj Estes heal beat 50 hard that he
could scarcely speak, and, indeed, he never
knew what be did say. What his heart was
saying was, MY queen For it fell down
and worshiped her then and there and never
swerved afterwards from its allegiance
They were soon well acquainted-these two
and though the major fell in love at once, or
rather recognized at once the fact that he had
been in love ever since he opened the locket,
it was long before he dared think that he was
specially favored by her and longer still be-
fore he dared speak.
1t was the dead soldier who gave the major
his wife. They often spoke Of him. The
English maiden loved to hear him tell Of his
battles and campaigning, and fancied that 1t
was not because the major was hero in her
eyes, while he, modest man, never dreamed
Of exalting his own deeds.
One evening they wandered in the old Eng
lish garden at the back Of the mansion in
Cheltenham, and there, as they stood for .
few moments under the shade of n great oak,
Maj Estes recounted the whole scene.
When he had finished both of her hands were
in his and she was weeping.
Ho drew her towards him, and to his
amazement she made no resistance. The next
moment she was in his arms, and before q
word had been spoken by either he had kissed
her as man kisses woman but once in o life
time.
When people ask Maj. Estes what was the
most remarkable incident he met with in the
war he always says: THE good fortune that
gave me my wife" And the golden haired
matron who is the crown and glory Of his
household, and who is the most loyal Of
American wives, is never weary Of talking
and hearing Of the days of the war.-Col

Never Tired.

When this country was first settled, thre
was an impression among tho colonists that
the Indians bad no intelligence nor craft in
their relations with the white men The
latter soon found, however, that this was not
tn CASE
Some Of the farmers attempted 10 make
farm servants Of the Indians, but discovered
that they had a propensity to get tired" %
soon after they began work that their ssr-
vices were Of little value. Ono day . farmer
was visited by stalwsrt Indian, who saids

"No,r said the farmer, ''you will get tirekF
"No, no." said the Indian, "me never get

The farmer, taking his word for it, set the
Indian at work and went away about some
other business. Toward noon he returned to
the place and found the Indian sound asleep
under a tree.
.Lock here, look here, shouted the farmer,
shaking the Indian violently, You told me
that you never got tired, and yet here you

Few persons have any idea of the speed Of
an elevator An ordinary guess wouldn't
probably come within half mile minute
Of being right. Some elevators run as slowly
as eighty feet minute. You always ask the
conductor about elevators Of this kind, and
be tells you apologetically that the old thing
is worn out, and that they're soon going to
get in new one that will take the cake.
The average speed of elevators is about rs
feet minute. This includes ordinary stop
pages. The elevators in the Equitable build
ing have a run OF lS5 feet from basement
to top of building, and it takes twenty seconds
to make that run without stops. In day Of
nine hours these elevators run over ten miles.
The elevators in the Western Union Tele-
graph building and in Aldrich court are ex-
ceedingly lively. They have developed u
speed OF 500 feet a minute That is going
pretty fast A person with a weak stomach
would be unwise to ride down in an elevator
making that SPEED. 1t would upset his calcu-
lation.-New York Press.

Hopkins Turney, of Tennessee, was re
markable man. His career was in most re
spects similar to that of Andy johnson Like

young, and only learned to read after he was
Of age. At the time of his election to the
United States senate, somewhere in the For,
ties, his brother, Tom Turney, man OF linn
tied education but of fine abilities, was
speaker of the popular branch of the legsla-
ture, and voted for his brother. This, in
Tennessee ut that time, was thought to DO a
breach Of propriety, and some members Of
the body over which Tom presided took him
to task for it. He bore their structures for
some time III silence, and then arose to de-
fend himself, saying that there was great
mistake about the matter, that he did not
vote for Hop because he was his brother, at
all, bat he voted for him because he was

The Milkman,s Mishans

The average young milkman is very gal

with his feats as an agile athlete and an ex-
pert reinsinan and he embraces every offered
opportunity Of SO doing, but once in a while
he comes to grief He did over on the North
Side yesterday morning. About 0 a. m
his horse dashed up in front of Clark street
dwelling and was brought back on his
launches by a sharp twist of the bit and
stentorian "Whoal" from the CAV Young
driver. The latter grabbed his can of cream
in one hand, his can of milk in the other
jumped lightly from the wagon and took two
steps at jump to the front door The steps
were of stone, and there was ice on them
The galius young milkman was not aware of
this until his feet touched the top step. There
they struck sheet of ice and went up In the
air. He toboSganed down to tho sidewalk
on the back of his neck amid a spectacular
shower of white cream and blue IuiIk.
The lady of the house stood In the front
window and witnessed the disaster She was
tempted to laugh at the man. but she wisely
refrained, knowing that il she did So and be

short weight in the future. The man gathered
up his empty cans, walked slowly and eau
tiously up the slippery steps with another

steps to the wagon and drove of without a
word The lady called the colored janitor of

State Board of Agriculture.

A bill to relieve the State Board of Agri-
culture of its oppressive Indebtedness
passed the Senate yesterday. AS originally
drawn, the bill provided for an annual ap-
preparation of $4,000 for an indefinite time,
but it was amended so as to limit the ap-
preparation to five years, making the
amount appropriated $4,000 1t is provided
in the bill that at least 5000 of each years
appropriation shall be applied toward the
liquidation of the boards debts. The board
is S51, 900 in debt, incurred mostly by the
purchase of the forty acres of additional
fair grounds a year ago. A similar bill
came up in the House. on second reading,
during the afternoon. and after being very
thoroughly discussed was passed to en-
grossment. Many of the Representa-
tives opposed the appropriation. MIR.
Cullen felt confident the legislators would
set a bad precedent if it paid the indebted
ness. He was opposed to appropriating the
money because he did not think the board
should have purchased the land untilit had
the money to pay for it. Besides. he thought
the people of the State were not generally
interested in the State fair. He charged
that the fair and few fat offices of the
State board had been kept up by the State
when only indianapolis was benefited. Mr..
Work disagreed with Mr.. Cullen. He said
he lived in the extreme southern part of
the State, and he knew the people there
were interested in seeing the State fair
prosper. He thought every citizen of the
State should feel an interest in the success
of the fair, and that the Legislature should
not hesitate to come to the relief of the
board. The bill will probably become a law
this week.
