DEATH IN THE STORM.
BY w. L. FRENCH.

The scene of this little sketch is To-
Gated on what is known as the Middle
River, situated in Northeastern Iowa.
In many parts of its upper course the
river is seventy-tive or a hundred feet
below the level of the surrounding
country, but some few miles above its
mouth its course broadened out into u
narrow valley, the bed Of the river be-
ing only a few feet below the surround
ing surface Of the land. Occasionally,
after a severe storm, it would overflow
the land in the little valley, but never
to an extent sufficient to do any great
amount of damage or endanger life.
John Moxly owned a farm in this
little valley, where he dwelt with his
wife and only daughter, Bessie.
Black-eyed, black-haired, with a we'll
moulded figure and handsome features,
it was no wonder that Bessie Moxly was
the cause Of much pain and
anxiety to several unsuccessful
.suitors, who had vainly sought to win
her hand. At last a successful sutton
came in the person Of Ned Denton, a
handsome young fellow, who, in con-
.nection with his partner, owned and
ran the largest store in a neighboring
village some ten miles away. Tonight
he was just riding out of the village on
his little pony to visit his promised
bride.
1t was a warm June evening. The
sun was just sinking behind a dark,
angry looking bank of clouds, their
black edges tinged fiery red by the se.-
aing sun The evening was intensely
quiet; eve the insects, which usually
can be so plentifully heard on a warm
June night, were not sounding their
evening pipes.
Before Ned Denton had ridden a
fourth of his journey, the black clouds
We're rolling over his head, so rapidly
did they come up, and the
The thunder rolled and rumbled in
the distance. The darkness fell over
the earth like a huge pail. shutting out
the light from above. Before he had
covered half the distance to the farm
house, the storm burst forth in all its
fury, the rain fell in torrents, the wind
hcwled, and the lightning flashing
across the sky left tine blackness so
dense that the traveller could hardly
make his way along the road.
The storm increased in violence and
Ned could see by the lightning, as he
approached tie river, that already it
was running bank full, and in some low
places spreading out over the adjacent
country. 1t was about a mile from the
bridge that spanned the river to where
Moxly lived, and Ned commenced to
congratulate himself that he would soon
be under shelter for the night.
Suddenly the lightning blazed out
e the whole heavens and fora moment

The Doctor and the Beauty.

A fashionable doctor having a house
on Fifth Avenue, New York, prides
himself. says a Boston Herald CORE
spondent, upon the favor with which
he is regarded by women. In this re-
spect he is decidedly unadmirable, but
his skill as a physician enables him to
rank high in the profession despite his
%conceit. The other day he received a
summons to call on a young lady
famed for her beauty. She was a new
patient for him, and, u he arranged his
cravat with extra precision before en-
tering his carriage, he fancied himself
on the brink of an unusual conquest.
Reaching the house, he was shown
into the reception-room, where, o mo-
ment later, he was joined by the beau
attend.
"Ah!" exclaimed he, rising to greet
her, you are not, then, i'll CROUCH to
be in bed"
ooh, 1 am not ill at ALL" cried the
girl.
Some other member of the family %
asked the doctor. disappointed.
"Well," said the young girl, I'VE call
him one of the family. You see, it is
my little fox terrier, Dixie He has a
bonelin his throat, and i thought you
might be able to remove it."
With freezing dignity the doctor got
out of the house as quickly as he could.
HE had expressed a desire to meet
me-" said the beauty, speaking of the
the matter afterward to a friend, "and
he did so in a very insulting way. I was
told of it, and I decided to give him an
opportunity to form my acquaintance"

scholarly bishop OF the Protestant Episco-
pal Church once said that there was a great
mistake made by intelligent and we'll meaning
persons in denouacing Wholesale class of for
eign novels intended to be not immoral pictures
Of life but correctiyes OF immortality. The
study OF life includes from this view poin. the
examination of unwholesome elements of social
phenomena According to those who wish to
indulge philosophy AMI restrain only the
paipably unclean in literatu:s b. a censorship
OF the mails such writer's as Shak5pere, Balzac
and Iols;oi are not to be ciassed with others
whose revelations are real pruriency in inten-
tiOn. The bold philosophical writer uses the
materials that he finds in society, the good to
correct the bad, the bad to bring the good into
prominence or to round of the study OF lie SO
as to present it in the aspects of completeness
and entirety. The important thing is to dis
eliminate so as to put these studies Of social
phenomena into the hands Of those who are
capable Of instruction therein, and to exclude
altogether the merely sensational and prurient
publications.

The people of every section, class and occu-
patton of the city are signing the petition
against the murderous grade-crossings, and
against legaiizing, without compensation to
the public, the illegal railroad occupation of

bill. The railroads cunning misrepresent a-
ton to the effect that the only question at
issue Is the removal of tho station from the

teauty is to be considered at all, and when
the esthetic question does arise in proper order

preserve as far as possible this a:tractiveness

protect human life. The petition states the
purposes OF Just railroad legislation in their
