Lena Hartman, the bankers daughter,
was one of those matter of fact maidens
who seem to have been created as use-
full foil to the sentimental gushfulness
of the romantic damsel.
Miss Hartman was more than deli
cately plump. Her appearance suggest
ed an intense regard for meals. Like
the German fraulein, who is not at all
disinclined to talk love over steaming
dish of Frankfurter sausages, supple
mented by sauerkraut, Miss Hartman
was eminently healthy.
As for her amiability, it was simply
without limit. Miss Hartman was i'm
pervious to the petty worries of life.
One of her friends always declared that
nothing less than an earthquake would
ever cause her the least agitation.
Henry Henshau called upon this portly
maiden in due time, and her appearance
filled him with a vague alright.
His artistic instincts told him at once
that he need never expect from her either
sympathy or even interest in his plans
and his aspirations.
But his promise to his father dwelt in
his mind sacredly intact. He would be a
martyr and he must feel some consolation
in that. Most men do.
It is well to reflect that one is martyr,
even though too late to be included in
Fox's book.
The face of his unknown ideal blotted
from his mind the large, immobile feat

sacrifice he could at least indulge in the
luxury of thinking of this strangely met,
strangely lost woman.
Lena Hartman was motherless, and had
recently engaged as companion woman
whom Henshall regarded with underlined
mistrust. she was a light haired, blue
eyed woman, who years ago must have
been extremely handsome, but her feat
ures were now hvid with care. Her
movements were furtive and catlike, and
she seemed to regard the life she was
living as unreal.
'fWhat induced you to engage her,
Lena?" asked HenshaQ one day, with the
privilege of newly made fiancee. He
had gGded into this position in such an
unutterably commonplace manner that
the chains so easily forged were hardly
CALLING.
because she interests me-" declared
Miss Hartman. ''I feel that she has a
history. You always tell me, Harry,
that I am the most unromantic being on
earth. know it. I can, however, APP
preciate romance in others, though l am
aware that you think even that impossi-
| hle."
Mr.. Henshall sighed. He wondered
stupidity if Lena would feel interested in
his own brief, pointless romance.
He dimly saw the jealous demon rap
| ping for admittance at the smooth doors
of Miss Hartman's placidity. He saw
the baffied retreat of this demon. He
declined to admit even the possibility Of
Miss Hartman's jealousy.
His acquaintance with women was
very slight. He imagined that the pas

The Democratic doctrine Of tariff
reform is daily gaining ground and
the Radicals are growing uneasy
Even the Presidential head that is
swallowed up in its grandfather's
hat is uneasy about the next election,
and an effort, of which members of

Connecticut and Indiana in order to
make theE. safely Republican. Porta-

claimed Herr Steinnetz as he laid his
great hand on the shoulder of man
walking rapidly past him on lower
Broadway. We're haf you pin all dis

The doctor was in anything but an
amiable frame of mind when his medi-

inopportune recognition by an old ac-
quaintance With deep frown on his
brow he lifted his piercing eyes to Stein
metz's face and curtly returned the
greeting.
The German pulled him out of the
way of the crowd to the edge Of the
curbstone and piled him with questions.
Was he still lecturing? What was he
doing IN New York: Where had he been
buried ont OF sight for so long?
He replied that he had settled down
to practice his profession in New Or
leans, and had had no opportunity to
meet his former acquaintances. He was
spending few days in the city to trans
act business of the utmost importance,
and he was then on his way to keep an
appointment that he cold not delay, as
it was already Gettiil.ss late.

Rev. r.. f. Peele, of Wilmington,
sizes up the Rev. Sam Jones in the
following terms:
"Sam Jones is religious cyclone,
the only one in existence, and the
one needed and never needed until
now. He is Il second flood to the
moral rottenness of the nineteenth h
century, and there will never be an
other of the sort. He is not vulgar
or unrefined but simply talks what
the people DO; neither irreverent
nor profane, he tD'y expo: es both.

The New York Herald saws !:

'If a Democratic Congress is cho-
sen this autumn it will confront,
when it meets in December, 1891, a
Treasury nearly depleted, as the re-
suit of Republican extravaganza.
The total apDro priations for the fis-
cal year, which began July 1, are
1861, ,311 ,5O3, exclusive of the perma.
nent annual appropriations for the
sinking fund, interest ON the public
debt and other small items. The
only things which can save the Trea-
sury from bankruptcy are the appro-
priation to Government uses Of the
S55, 100000 deposited with the Trea-
sury in trust as security for the re-
demption of the national bank notes
and the hope that all Of the money
appropriated at the session just pass
ed will not be spent within the year.
Nearly all the appropriations show
an enormous advance over those for
the year which has just closed.
Radicalism will bankrupt the
country if not rebuked, and at the
next election is the time to admins
ter the rebuke.

DIED.

DALy.-At Ipswich, S. D., March 81, 1890,
Luna May, wife of John DAILY, aged 81
years.
A little over a year ago, her many
friends, in Joy and glee, witnessed a mar
riage ceremony, to-day how different.
Joy changed to sadness, life to death.
So sad an occasion, coming so unex-
pectedly, aroused the sympathy of the
community and large concourse gath
cred to pay their respects to the deceased
and to mingle their tears with the be-
reaved husband and relatives.
Attractive in person, graceful in man
ner, atfectionate TO her friends and court
eous to all, she was from childhood a
general favorite, and as she advanced to
maturity her character deepened to true
christian wOmanhood.
The husband of the deceased is 3
brother of Mrs A. e. Michael of this city {.
He was born and grew to manhood IN
Pierce county. His father and two sIs-
tiers still reside here, and together with a
large circle of acquaintance extend
their heartfelt sympathy in his sad be-
reavement.
WooDs.-At his home in New Center
yille March %, 1890, after lingering
illness, John Ii. Woods, aged II years,
months and 20 days.
Mr.. Woods was born in Trenton,
Me-, in 1913. At 10 years of age he with
his father moved to Penobscot, where he
lived until he was %. He was married
in August, 1884, and in 1885 he moved
with his wife and child to Carroll, where
he remained IL years. He afterward
lived at a number of other places finally
settling at New Centerville, where he re-
sided until his death.
Father Woods was loved and respected
by all who knew him and his kind man
ner and christian spirit won for him a
host of friends.
Thirteen years ago his jaw was frac-
tured by kick from a horse, shock
from which he never recovered. He did
not complain and no murmurs escaped
his lips during the long years of suffering
and when the end came, passed away IN
peace, being assured by the invisible"
that "all is WE'LL"
He leaves an aged companion, with
whom he has lived 80 years, and
children to mourn his loss. By his death
his companion loses faithful and loving
husband, the children a kind, indulgent
father, and the community an esteemed
and honored citizen.
The funeral was held from the New
Centerville NJ. +. church ON Monday

IN MEMORIAM.
Frank D. Brown.

Frank ID. Brown, the subject of this
sketch. who died at his home i'll the
village of Ellsworth, Wis, on Thurs
day evening, March Goth, 1890, of ty-
phoid pneumonia, was born at Garth
age, New York, September 18th, 1850,
being 20 years, 6 months aud 9 days
of aye at his death. The year follow
ing his birth his parents removed to
the west, settling at Prescott where
they remained till 1867 when they To-
Gated at Ellsworth which has since
been his home and where he grew to
manhood. During his boyhood he at
tended the public school there and as
he approached mans estate he was en-
gagged as copyist in the Office of
Register of Deeds, and afterward en-
ployed as clerk in number of stores,
being for time with r. n. Jensen i'll
this city. Ia 1883 and 1854 he
..roughed it in Dakota for "a few
months. but finally deciding to remain
in Ellsworth he engaged in business
there and June ODD. 1884, was united
in matrimony with Miss Mabel L.
Gould, who, together with two child
rem Floyd A, aged AZ years, and
Clark W., aged 10 months-is left to
mourn his untimely departure in the
vigorous prime that precedes middle
age.
Naturally light-hearted and happy
himself he took pleasure in contribute
ing to the enjoyment of others and
was popular as we'll as prominent in
social circles, where he will be great
ly missed.
For year or two after the organic
alton of Ellsworth he served as viii
lage marshal, position for which he
was well adapted.
A contemplation of the work of the
keen and relentless sickle of Death In
garnering for the realms of the "Un-
known Beyond" those who have lived
to the ripe age of three score and ten
is, under ordinary circumstances, in
deed sad, but this sadness seems far
greater when the one cut down is in
the prime of life, apparently IN the
possession of good health, animated
by the hopes and aspirations that
should be common to all, and sur
rounded by loved ones in a pleasant
and happy home. Bowed beneath the
weight of a great woe the depth OF
which can never be realized by those
not similarly afflicted, the young wife.
fatherless children, widowed mother,
and brothers and sisters of the de-
ceased receive the sincere sympathy
of all, little though that sympathy
can do toward dispelling the dark
cloud of sorrow by which the death
of loved husband, father, son, and
brother has surrounded them.
