We meet many peculiar characters in

he was a man of intelligence and a man Of
splendid family, wealthy n all that
who lost his wife, and who. in telling me
Of his bereavement, said:
well, ! will save something out of the
wreck. / can wear her stockings. See

ings OF fine texture and reaching away
above the knee. He proceeded to explain
that he had bought her several pairs at So
each just a week before she died, but she
had never had n use OF them, and he
would have TO wear them out, though he
was sorry he had bought them.
The idea was so funny that it was all !
could do to keep from laughing right out,
as the saying is. but the man was so very
serious that repressed the inclination to
do so. | told him it was sad, but as long
as he could save something out Of the
wreck by wearing his dead wife's hosiery
he was not in sueh a bad fix, but still he
could not see the ludicrous sid of his mar

1t is said that a general outline of a de-
Tense to the actions brought by a legion
of plaintiffs against Frederick Weyer-
hauser and his corporations for flood
damages occurring in 1884 has been
agreed upon, and hat one of the main
points thereof will be hat the great in
undation was not due to the insufficient
construction of the dams on the Chip
pewa nor to negligent management, but
to "the act of God" otherwise, in this
case, the bursting of a gigantic water
spout between Jump river and Fisher
creek, two tributaries of the Chippewa.
1t is claimed that scores of woodsmen
car be produced to prove the appearance
and bursting of the waterspout in the
locality named, and that it raised the
Chippewa 80 rapidly hat the men in
charge of Little Falls dam, above Chip
pewa falls, did not have time to raise
the gates, the flood coming down so
rapidly as to carry out the dam before
anything could be done to let the water
through. If this can be proved it will
be worth several hundred thousand dol
lars to the defendants. = Eau Claire

The doctor has this to say about tradition,
history and fact before beginning the real
work of the book
Are the places that | sec in Palestine
and Syria and the Mediterranean isles the
genuine places OF Christly, patriarchal
and apostolic association Many of them
are not, and many OF them are. We have
no sympathy with the bedwardng of
tradition. There are traditions contra
dicted by their a%bsurdity, but II for
several generations a sensible tradition
goes on In regard to events connected with
certain places, / am as certain of the local..
ties as though pen and document had Fixed
them. Indeed, sometimes tradition Is more
to be depended on than written commune
cation. A writer may, for bad purposes,
misrepresent, misconstrue, misstate; but
reasonable traditions concerning places
connected with great events are apt to be
true. / have no more doubt concerning
the place on which Christ was crucihed
or in which Christ was buried than l have
about the fact that our Lord was slain and
intombed. But suppose traditions contra
dict each otherf Then try them, test them,
compare them as you do documents, It is
no more difficult to separate traditions,
true and false, than apocryphal books from
inspired books. Do not use the word ira

A New Hampshire physician sends me
the following cat story. for which he
vouches:

One OF the best reasons why London
business houses become so ancient Is be
cause 1t Is so hard to wind up their affairs.
Hundreds Of pounds must go out in credit
before the first shilling can be said to be
earned AS long as the business lasts new
credits take the place OF old ones, and the
Importance of a concern is determined by
the humber OF people able to pay when
they get good and ready whose names ap-

A British tradesman will fail with triple
the assets in outstanding accounts re-
quired to hberate his indebtedness, because
he considers it little short Of a crime to
bother Sir Clarence or to dun Lord
Charles. Accounts Of this kind are sought
after and encouraged. while those who run
them up know full well that the fact Of
their patronage is being laid great stress
on in dazzling plebeian patrons with the
Importance OF their co-customers. The
one saving feature of the system is that
the aristocratic patron never deserts his
appointed tradesman except for good
cause, and never fails to recommend hin

The scarcity of gas continues to play
the main part in at least a dozen of the
leading iron works. The falling off in
supply and the loss of time are now SO
discouraging in some mills that the men
threaten to quit work if the change back
to coal is not soon made. There are
nearly 5000 iron workers on both sides
of the Monongahela river who lave av-
eraged little more thar half time in the
last three weeks. In about ten mills
the restriction on the output of muck
iron alone is at least 200 tons a day.
There are a number of firms now which
will commence to prepare for coal to be
used in case gas should give out when
the weather gets colder. The change is
made in the furnaces as they are being
repaired from time to time. So far rs
possible all the mills are run to their
utmost, but the average is about two
thirds capacity. -Pittsburg Chronicle

A touching scene was enacted in Gov
Gordon's office at Atlanta, Satur-
day. He had just issued a pardon to
Columbus Pless, who has been in the
county chain gang for one month fol-
carrying concealed weapons. Mrs. Pless,
a typical Georgia cracker, who engi-
neered the pardon, dealt with Judge Mes
bit, the governors private secretary, and
when the pardon was given her she
called Gods blessing down upon him.
About this time Governor Gordon en-
tered the room, and Mrs. Pless was told
that he had issued the pardon. Whats
his nameY" she asked. That's Governor
Gordon" "oh, yes, he's the Teller that
| heard tell of that's about to lose his
job" The woman with streaming eyes
then shook hands with the governor, and
turning to Judge Nesbit, said; 81 heard
tell about his losin' his job and I'm pow
erful sorry bout it, but good man
hope he'll soon get ernuther an a better

man will never get ernuther hand as

Summer has gone, yet splendor hovers sfin
Der the wood and dale, each wood and fen;
horns purple mist en1olds each distant hll.
While nightly moonht shadows food each glen
Each autumn flower, while clad in richest hue,
Floats royal pennants on each passing gale;
The cardinal glows in red, gentiAn in blue,
While gold. from golden rod, gilds hill and vale
Rare sunset views enrich the glowing sky,
Amber and opal clouds pile In the west,
While weird like mOoubeams floating idly by
Proclaim a twilight Allied with royal rest
All things look rich, from apples red and bright
To purple grapes that cluster on the vine.
From fields of corn that rustic, crisp and light
To tuft Of thistle and 10 cone Of pine.
Rich Rlories find we in nutumnal hours,
A sense OF fullness and completeness, too;
A chant OF praise broods over fruits and flowers
For beauties added ere they fade from view.
