A Daughter Sold for 90. 500.

In village in Russia not long ago
lived poor family named Meaks and a
rich man named Lapeu, whose son was
infatuated with the poor mans daugh-
ter. He wanted to marry her, and as
her father would not consent to the
match unless the young man brought
him money, young Lapeu stole $500
from his father and gave it to Meaks as
the price of his daughter
An early wedding was promised. The
Meaks family, however, quietly packed
up their goods, came to this country,
settled in Meriden, Conn, and with the
money obtained from Lapeu purchased
a house. Lapeu followed and traced
his tiancee to Meriden a few weeks ago
He found where his sweetheart was liv-
ing and called on her, but the girl soon
convinced him that she was far from
glad to see him and that she wouldn't
marry him.
Lapeu then demanded his money
back. When it was not forthcoming he
attached the house to recover his So, 500.
One of Meaks' sons, who has been living
at White Plains Junction, Vt. was tele-
graphed for. He came and had an inter-
view with Lapeu, who insisted on the
return of the money, but the brother
persuaded him that he had better take
the girl instead The brother induced
him to withdraw the suit by telling him
that he would arrange the marriage
shortly. He got Lapeu to go with him
to White Plains Junction, saying he
would set him up in business by giving
him goods to sell on commission.
At White Plains Meaks gave the
young man a lot of goods and compelled
him to sign a paper in which he agreed
to return the goods in certain time OF
/ pay for them. Then he left Lapeu in a
desolate place in Vermont and thought
he had seen the last of him. The young
fellow tramped back, however, and
made another demand for the girl or his
| money. The son in Vermont was again
telegraphed for and when he arrived he
had Lapeu arrested for alleged embez

Lapeu's case sent to New Haven for At.

dismissal of the charge and will at once

A Horses Long Swim.

A pair OF horses attached to heavy
truck belonging to Smedley Brothers, and
driven by Louis Woods, became fright
ened near the head of Long Wharf, In
New Haven, Conn, and ran away. In
his efforts to control the animals Woods
broke the bit in the mouth of the off
horse and they sped down the wharf at
a breakneck pace. Just before reaching
the end Woods jumped, seeing that the
horses would go over into the harbor.
Inns they did moment later, horses
and truck disappearing in water ten feet
deep. For a moment the team was out
OF sight. Then one horse appeared on
the surface and struck out for the East
Haven shore, a mile and a half across
the harbor. Some men followed in a
rowboat.
About a quarter of mile from the
wharf the horse struck mud and floun-
dered. He was helped up by the men in
the rowboat and again started for the
shore. A short distance further on he
again struck a mud bank and rolled over
on his back, but once more he was as
sisted to his feet, and working his way
through the mud reached deep water.
He swan as straight as an arrow, and
did not need further assistance until
within a short distance of the shore.
when he struck reef of fine stone and
disappeared under the water. The
spectators on shore held their breath in
expectancy that he had gone down for
good, but the next instant he came to
the surface, and clearing the reef found
a firm foothold and walked ashore
through water about three feet deep.
He was in an exhausted condition after
his mile and half swim, and did not
manifest any disposition to run further.
The other horse was drowned. With the
assistance Of derrick the truck was
raised to the wharf.-Cor New York

THREE TALL MEN.
How An English Lecturer Was Discounted

HOW An English Lecturer Was Discounted
by DIR. Phillips Brooks.
recalled Sle incident few DAYS ago,
as l sat in Trinity listening to Phillips
| Brooks noOn-time talks. 1t happened
in the spring of 1888. The four of us had
gone to Europe tOgether-Dr. McVickar,
of Philadelphia, Phillips Brooks and
/ Mr.. Robinson, the builder of Boston
Trinity Church. Robinson stands feet
inches in his stockings, DR.. McVickar
measures 6 feet inches, and Brooks ex-
| ceeds 6 feet in height. Robinson is SEN
| sitive about His length, and suggested
that in order to avoid comment the three
tall men avoid being seen together
They humorously called themselves
Brown, Jones and Robinson" A1riv-
ing in England they went direct to
Leeds, where they learned that lectur-
er would address the working classes on
america and Americans" Anxious to
hear what Englishmen thought of the
great Republic they went to the hall.
They entered separately and took seats
as far apart as possible. The lecturer,
after some uninteresting remarks, said
GidG AHSI1CdIo NCICs do d RUE, S1OEU,
and seldom, if ever, rose to the height
of five feet ten inches. In fact, they
were race of pigmies. He did not
know to what cause he could attribute
this fact, but he wished he could present
examples.
Phillips Brooks rose to his feet and
stretched his six-foot frame to the utter
most as he said: Il am an American,
and am, as you see, about six feet in
height. l do not exceed the average
American in stature or weight-though
l turn the scales at two hundred pounds
and l sincerely hope that if there be
any other representative of my country
present he will vouch for the truthful
ness of my remarks"
After moments interval Mr.. Robin
son rose and, in stentorian voice, CRIED
Il am from America, in which country
my diminutive height-six feet two
is the subject of no remark, as l am just
e. little below the average. If there
lie any other American here l hope
that he will corroborate my testi-
Inony."
The house was in a jolly humor.
Waiting until the excitement could
abate in some degree and the poor lee
turer regain control of his shattered
nerves. DIR. McVickar slowly drew his
majestic form to his full height and ex-
claimed: 81 am an" But he got no
further. The audience roared. The
lecturer ran down the aisle into the
street, and the people crowded about the
three giants.
All! The board closes in fifteen min
