tainly, if a man is forgiven for catawal-
ing under a lady's window in the dead
of night, he should be able at the next
opportunity to approach the subject of
matrimony with sustaining confidence.
1 grasped the first convenient missile
and crept toward the window. If the
midnight visitor proved to be Sydney
and l inflicted serious injury upon him,
I could swear the next day that 1
thought it was somebody else and thus
restore the entente cordiale My first
glance from the window showed me
that 1 had grievously wronged my
neighbor. There was not so much noon
light in the back yard as the minstrel
had led me to expect, but there was
enough to show me the state of affairs.
I perceived that our maid servant
(called Nancy by those who did not feel
well enough acquainted with her to
make it Nance) was the provocation
for this nocturnal burst of melody and
that she was enjoying it at very close
range. l replaced my missile on the
floor. Nancy and the midnight musi-
clan were sitting on too small a section
of the back doorsteps to permit my talk
ing a shot at him without endangering
her; and / am too much of gentleman

cert proceed.
This is only one of series of Incl
dents which have convinced me that
the servant girl problem is even more
darllly insoluble in the country than in
the city. We attempted to induce our
girl to come up with us from New York
but she refused to go to place which
had no police force and very few social
advantages of any kind. Our first
country-bred servant quarreled with
Maude over a question of saleratus, aud
went home to her mother The next
one was the eldest of eleven sisters,
nine of whom had scarlet fever, and as
she refused to submit to such process
of fumigation as my wife thought nee
essary, we were forced to part with her.
After she was gone, Maude burned
birthstone in such quantities that
could hardly have had more of it if
had caught the fever and died of it.
Nancy was the fourth venture. She
was young woman possessed of large
personal attractions which she aggra-
waited by alarming eccentricities of

Methought I heard a voice say: For,
oh, there's moo-oo-oo-oo-oonligh on the
la-a-a-a-alIe." They talk everlastingly
about the weather, in the country, and
1 suppose it is only natural that they
should sing about it, but I personally
have never shown interest enough in
the subject to warrant anybody in walk
ing me at midnight for the purpose of
imparting information which belongs TO
Uncle Jerry Rusli and his signal bureau.
Neither is my backyard a proper place
for discussing meteorological condi-
tions with a concertina accompaniment.
My first idea on being aroused from
slumber by this unmelodious weather
bulletin was that my neighbor, Sidney
Drew in fit of mental alteration was
serenading Cousin Nina. 1 had heard
that this method of testing a young
woman's affection was still employed
in rural districts, and on general prin-

A Political Dodge.

AS there is already a committee OF

ing the conduct of these officials, and
coming as it does just on the eve of the
state election, this proclamation looks
like sharp political dodge to make
capital for his party 1t must not be
forgotten that all the developments thus
far brought out in the Bardsley matter
and the state officials has been the work
of Il Republican district attorney, and
now at this late hour, moment before

The extra session will fail in every
thing except great expense to the tax
payers. 1t is the price they pay, how
ever, for putting into the executive
chair a man who is playing the state for
presidential stakes; for voting into
power party that has no principles
which can win voters and must play
for political capital of cheap variety

those who are too apt to be caught by

The owner Claims His Team

About two weeks ago a couple of
suspicious characters came to H. C.
Cummings' livery stable of this town
with q horse and carriage which they
were anxious to sell cheap. Cummings
suspected they had stolen the horse or
come in possession of the animal and
carriage by ways that were dark and
managed to detain them until they be-.
gan to be alarmed for their own safety
and skipped the town. On Tuesday
night gentleman from Mt. Holly. N,
j., arrived in town, who described the
horse and carriage so infinitely as to
learn no DOUBT of his ownership. The
gentleman's name was Even. He paid
charges for the horses keep and went
on his way rejoicing on Wednesday
morning.
The man who stole the horse was
named Jones who had been in Mr..
Ewen's employ for some time previous,
and had served term in the peniten.
tiary. The other party was named
West who lived in the neighborhuod
and was rather "weak minded" After
losing the horse and carriage Jones
skipped away from his friend West,
and the latter returned to his old
neighborhood and told Mr.. Even
where they had left his team. West
was clapped inloj Jail and search is being
made for Jones who If found will be
sent back to his old quarters.
