he shall be free. suffer long term in
prison walls, or take leap into the
great unknown, depends on the erdict,
and he waits for it in such alternate
hope and fear as cannot be described.

AN OLD LOVE-WAGER UNCLAIMED.

Samuel Conds, of Christian
Hook, L. l., seventy years old, has
in his possession $50 deposited
with him as stakeholder. Twenty
five years ago two young men
were both suitors for girls hand.
One was rich and the other poor.
The poor man said he would bet
all the money he had in the world
that he would win the girl. The
total amount of his wealth was
$40, and this he put up. The rich
man accepted the wager and
covered the $40 with another $40,
the stakes being placed in the
hands of Mr.. Conds. The poor
man won the girl, but disds ired to
claim the stakes. Mr.. Conds has
held them for twenty-five years.
He says he will keep the money
until he dies unless it is claimed
by the winner.-N. Y. Tribune.

Not at all. There will be no more
need Of his learning to write than
of his learning to spin. Writing
will have become one of the lost
arts and a wholly unnecessary art
by the time the coming man ap-
pears. His writing will be done
by the phonograph, which will be
placed Oh his desk as pens and ink
are now; and whenever he has a
story, a poem, an essay or a private
letter to indite he will simply talk
into the phonograph and send on
the plate which has recorded his
words. The teaching of penman.

SHE PASSED AWAY.

The following true story is full
of pathos, but it reveals such an
odd ignorance of the conventional
meaning Of customary phrase
that it will provoke a smile upon
the lips OF those who most sincere
ly feel the sadness of it.
Last winter the wife of a Yer
mont farmer came to California,
broken down with consumption,
in search of health. She came too
late, and though she rallied for
a while, never grew strong again
and died a few months ago. The
people with whom she had been
staying, telegraphed to the hus-
band the fatefui news, IN these
words: "Your wife patsed away
quietly this morning" A little
more than two weeks after. came
telegram from the husband say
ing: "My wife has not yet arrived
at home; do you know anythin G
OF herr" The answer was sent
back at once: ave telegraphed
at the time of the event that your
wife had passed away on the 10th
of June" A month after this a
gentleman came to San Jose and
sought out the sender of the tele-
gram. 1t was the husband of the
lady who had passed away. He
made inquiries about his wife, and
not until it was explained to him
in straight Saxon speech did he
understand the significance of the
phrase and know that his wife was
dead.
