Sam Thought He Had Been Kicked to
 Death, But He Hadn't.
 Mir. T. received a message from his wife telling him ito hurry home quick, that the horse had kicked Sam to death," says the Birmingham (Ala.) News. Mir. T. rushed home and found that his horse had kicked sam, the col ored hOstler, in the region of the stom. ach, and he looked like dying man Sam thought he was goingto die and be- gan to unburden his sin-laden soul:
 "Mnrse John, Isc gwine ter die, but befor' I go want ter tell yer whar ycrll find dat bran new bridle yer bought de oder day and what yer thought some nigger had stolen-it's up in de loft xiv cred wid hay. And yer ricollect dat new lap robe dat yer thought fell out Ter de karridCe-dat's under de front do'step. An de ole pistul wat was in de buro' draw, you'll find dat in my trunk"
 And various and sundry other things thCt had been missed at different times were mentioned by Sam and their whereabouts disclosed. When Sam had confessed his misdeeds he seemed to grow better-confession is good for the body as well as the soul lie finally recovered, but now moves about the promises with penitent air.
 Mir T. thinks he has a valuable horse, which can thus kick man in the stomach and make him disgorge a lot of stolen property.

A Neck-and-Neck Contest Between
 Young Woman and Bear.
 A few days ago, says the Seattle Press Times, Miss Jessie Gordon, daughter of rancher who lived about Q mile and half in the woods back of the Appletree Cove in Kitsap county, was returning home from visit to her uncle's house, about mile from her home. She had only got about half way when she suddenly became aware of the presence of a big black bear standing within few feet of the trail and apparently waiting for her to come closer. Womanlile, her first impulse was to scream at the top of her voice; her second to start for home at her fullest speed along the trail.
 The bear, apparently scared by the shrlek, started on q parallel track in the same direction, over fallen logs and through thick brush. The race was a necll-and-neck one, both contestants making good time.
 Finally on arriving at the young la dy's home the bear politely passed around by the back into the woods, while the other contestant passed like a whirlwind into the front room by the open door and fell in heap on the floor She did not go into mysteries or indulge in any such civilized foolish ness, but suggested to her father as soon as she got her second wind that he might as we'll take his gun and look for that bear instead of stand ing there asking foolish questions" Of such metal are the maidens of Wash iuptOn. ..a.

A VANDERBILT LINEN CLOSET.
How Our Four Hundred Compete with
 the EfIote Aristocracy of Europe.

How Our Four Hundred Compete with
 the Enote Aristocracy of Europe.
 Only those who have visited ducal and royal establishments abroad can have any conception of the scale of splendor maintained in the great houses of this country's plutocracy, says the Illus trated American. Every department is a study in itself, and not the least in- teresting feature of Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilts private palace, for in- stance, is the linen closet, where all of her costly damasks and embroidered linens are stored Of course, everyone has heard of the point lace sheets Mrs. Willie K. brought to her pretty sister, in-law from Europe awhile ago. They were decided novelty over here, and naturally created a sensation among millionaire housekeepers. It may have been the acquisition of these very ex- quisite bed coverings that melted Mrs. Vanderbilt to order her linen cupboard with such nicety, Certain it is that no system or detail could improve upon the present arrangement. The closet is in reality a room finished in hardwood and admirably decorated. Every device has been studied to preserve the articles and facilitate the means of getting at them. The tablecloths, each with it's particular set of napkins, are laid away in sets, the napery all being of the very handsomest description, and ar tistic as well as valuable. In place of shelves, or drawers pulling back and forth, succession of magnificent pigeon-holes are built in on one side, with doors that put up and let down. Every set has it's separate compartment, with the name outside, in order that a maid may put her hand on the right thing at once. This system is carried out in disposition of all the linen, which is naturally of the finest quality, and decorated with rich and rare drawn and needlework. Vert-vert, lavender and orris root lend faint and delightful perfume to the sheets, pillow-cases and towels, while mere suggestion of vio- lets, heliotrope or white rose is permit ted in pertaining the napery.

Trial of the Pyx.

The trial of the pyx is an interesting annual ceremony that in one form or another has occurred for centuries in England The pyx is box in which certain numbers of coins of every de- nomination are placed after each days work in the British royal mint for a year The Goldsmiths' company has afforded the jury since it's institution several hundred years ago. When the jury open the pyX they weigh the coins in bulk and several individually, testing them also with fire and chemicals, SO that there can be left no trace of the trae value of British and British made coinage. The loss of weight or remedy" allowed to the master of the mint for loss is 9 of grain, but none such has been recorded for 25O years. Pieces to the number of %, ,804, 045 in all were coined last year for use at home and in the colonies.

general advance in breadstuffs, hogs and
lard, a decline in oil, and no change in cot
ton and coffee. A larger export demand and
reports Of scarcity abroad have lifted wheat
~ cents to 81 1917, with sales Of 46, 900, 900
bushels here; and oats have risen 2 cents to
61H, and corn ~ cents to 82z on small
sales. The actual scarcity of corn and oats
makes an advance easy. but of wheat the re-
ceipts at Western points continue larger
than year ago, and the exports, until very
lately, have been much smaller. It is note
worthy that in all winter wheat sections the
prospect is considered exceptionally good,
and the acreage is reported as largely in
creased.
Raw sugar has yielded shade this week,
but all refined above granulated is shade
higher. With breadstuffs and vegetables
unusually high and wool about the same as
a year ago, cotton is much lower. drugs and
chemicals lower, iron and its products and
the range of manufactured products gener-
ally rather lower, notwithstanding the ex-
pansion of more than 500, ,000,0 900 in the cir
culation during the year.
Excessive Treasury Disbursements.
The Treasury has again paid out this
week more money than it has taken in. The
exports of merchandise are increasing, and
for two weeks at New York exceed last
years by IS per cent. In March the ex-
ports of cotton, breadstuffs, provisions,
cattle and petroleum from all the chief
ports were In value $50, 499, ,637, against $52,-
766, ,262 last year, indicating no increase in
the aggregate of the exports, while the heavy
imports of sugar raised the aggregate about
Sc, 400, 900 at New York alone above that of
the same month last year. Probably i'm
ports began to exceed exports in that month,
and an outward movement of specie may be
expected until new crops come.

DEATH OF ALFRED COREY.
A Noted Man Passes Away at His

A Noted Man Passes Away at His
Daughters, in Dravosburg.
Alfred Corey, father of J. B. Corey, q
noted man in days of yore, died night be.
fore last at the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. William Whitaker, at Dravosburg,
aged 81 years and IL days. Mr.. Corey was
born in New Jersey, but with his parents
moved, when quite young, to New York,
near the headwaters of the Allegheny. He
learned the business of millwright from his
father and built many mills and bridges in
that section. In 1881 he married Rachel
Adams, whose father owned the most of the
land on which the city of Franklin, Venango
county. is now built. Mrs. Corey
died ten years ago. Mr.. Corey and
on II sections of the Beaver and Sandy
Canal in 1889. They built lock and dam
No. 2 at Port Perry on the Monongahela
river, but the company failed and its sue
cessor, the Monongaheia Navigation Com
pany paid Messrs. Corey 20 cents on the 81.
The brothers then dissolved partnership,
and Alfred, after having made several for
tunes, was bankrupted by a man named
Walker, father-in-law of the late General
James Ekin. Some 80 years ago he was
stricken with paralysis and was an invalid
the remainder of his life. He once bought
at Sheriff's sale the Oliver farm and Brad
docks Field, on which Braddock and Du-
quesne are built, but relinquished them as
his brother Moses disapproved of the pur-
chase.
Mr.. Corey was Whig and subsequently
Republican, but when John Sherman
failed of nomination at Chicago he (Corey)
voted for Cleveland, and liked him so we'll
that he voted for him the second time. Mr..
Corey was very determined, enterprising
and self-reliant, but played in hard luck
most of his life.

FUNNY AS A FARCE.

| A Chance for a Dickens in Common Pleas
Court No. 2-The Ayres-Smith Breach OF
Promise Case Up Again-Only $50 for a
Lacerated Heart.
Even without Sam Weller, the breach
of promise suit of Mrs. Sarah Ann Ayres
vs. John Wesley Smith in Common Pleas
No. before Judge Ewing yesterday, was
funnier than that of Bardell VS.. Pickwick.
Sarah Ann and John Wesley are both resi-
dents of Mansfield, and the latter is
English. quite English, you know" and a
coal miner. Both are of mature years,
three score or more, and both had been mar
ried previously.
A lady named Norton was witness for
the plaintiff, and though she did not recollect
hearing Mr.. Smith say anything about ducks
or about the favorite dish of Mrs. Cluppins'
husband, she did profess to know that Mr.
Smith had said he would marry Mrs. Ayres
after her probation as housekeeper if she
suited him. 1t appeared that she didn't
suit and he married another woman.
In answer to the defendants lawyer, Mrs
Norton said she had known evidences of
affection to have been furnished by Mr..
Smith. When asked by his lawyer if she
felt sure she knew symptoms of love when
Sne saw tnem, MIS-. N orion drew herself up
and said contem ptuously: 81 think ought
to. I've been married twice, once to an
1rishman and once to a Dutchman, and 1
think that ought to be ample experience l
guess ought tQ know love symptoms. -
The defendant claimed that Mrs. Avres
had offered him $500 to marry her, and she
admitted that she had offered bonus, but
not that much. She agreed to sell her COW
to raise the necessary funds for housekeep-
ing in comfort. John Wesley Smith init
mated that he might have formed partner
sh p with the widow but for fear of her son
becoming part of the family. He insisted
that he bought the tickets for their trip to
Johnstown to see the food desolation, but
admitted that Mrs Ayres had furnished the
money.
Mr.. Smith was strongly disposed to tell
his story his own way. and Judge Ewing
finally ordered him to answer the oppos-
ing lawyers questions under penalty of be-
ing committed for contempt to which Mr..
Smith replied: Fire away. I'll stay with
vou." This led the Judge to sort OF
size him up, and he allowed the matter to
drop.
In his charge the Judge told The jury
that Mrs. Ayres sought to be allowed enough
to pay for her trousseau, but seemed to in
innate that she was well off in escaping her
affianced. The jury thought $50 would heal
the laceration, and gave verdict for that
amount.
