. must mention curious resemblance
between the wooing of Chanler and the
strange relationship which existed between
Barbara and Jock While at Castle Hill,
and while Mr. Chanler was In New York
awaiting the decision of his fate, Miss
Rives did read in newspaper paragraph
about an Archie Chandler being hurt in a
runaway accident In the streets of New
York. She did ride several miles across
country, in a pelting rainstorm, through
mud and over bitches and fences, to get to
q telegraph office and place herself in com
munication with Mr.. Chanler. This incl
dent was afterward worked In the story Of
Barbara and Jock. It turned out to be q
Chandler and not Chanler who was hurt,
and the wild ride was in vain; no, not in
vain, for it had its influence In opening the
eyes of Miss Rives to the hold her affection
tor Mr. Chanler had upon her heart, and it
strengthened Chanler's courage, which had
begun to droop. and led him to think he
might after all win the prize which he was
seeking A month or two later he re.
turned to Castle Hill, and before he left
this time Miss Rives had put her hand In

rho f,nest,on Askfne Habi,.

Like most other things, curiosity may be
either virtue or a vice. With its proper
use we have no present concern. We are
only to consider one of its most disagreeable
manifestations.
The English have an old proverb to the
effect that those who ask no questions will
be told no lies 1t would be well to bear
this surly old proverb ever in mind when
tempted to make idle inquiries. There are
SO many reasons why reticence is wise and
right, and the knowledge OF the truth
might be harmful, that the temptation to
syade or deny the truth is very strong to
those whose politeness makes 1t difficult
for them to refuse to answer even an imper'
tinent question.
We may have no bad motives when ask
ing Mrs A. how she became acquainted
with Mrs. B.; we may not, In fact, care
much about the matter; but it has occur
red to us to wonder how, why and where
lady of such elegance and fashion as Mrs.
A. should have become so intimate with
the humble and unattractive Mrs B. that
the one can rarely be met without the
other. '-'t
So far no harm has been done. As we
have asked no questions, no mischievous
surmises have been set afioat and no rude
ness has been committed. 1t may be that
neither woman would object to making
known the origin of their friendship; but
It may also be that to tell it would be to
unfold long story of sorrow or misfor
tune

Diogenes in Paris.

imitator in wealthy citizen of Paris who
died recently Having fortune of hun.
dred thousand dollars and no heirs, this
man resolved to bequeath his money to
some person who had proved to be perfect

He had retired from business, and spent
his time in riding up and down Paris in
omnibuses He always stationed himself
near the front part of the interior of the
omnibus, where he would have an oppor-
tunity to pass up to the driver the fares of
passengers and hand back the change
frequently, when the change was of a
Aaracter to admit it, he quietly slipped
into it, after the driver had put it into his

of about dime-and awaited the result.

Fish Commissioner e. B. Hodge, of
Plymouth, says there are now more
salmon in the Merrimack river than at
any time since the Lawrence dam was
built, forty years ago, and he thinks
even further back than that. In one
day he caught twenty-five fine ones at
Plymouth They are, however, being
mercilessly slaughtered by the dozen at
Garvin's Falls, at the mouths of the
Suncook and Soucook rivers. and at
other points
Speaking of the agreement existing
between this state and Massachusetts,,
Colonel Hodge said it was generally
thought that its provisions cost New
Hampshire considerable money, while
the fact is that the matter has been SO
arranged that the general government
has footed the bills and it has not cost
this state cent, Moreover, it was this
agreement with Massachusetts which
alone made possible the establishment
of the first h hatchery in this state.--

1t has been known for some time past
that Mr.. rving's elder son. Henry, is
about to go upon the stage. A similar
resolution has now been taken by his
second son, Lawrence, so named in honor
of Mr.. Irving's old friend, John Law
renee Toole. Lawrence Irving was
destined for the diplomatic service, as
his elder brother was for the bar, and
with that view was sent to St. Peters
burg some time ago to learn languages.
But the bent in his case also for the stage
has proved so strong that Mr. Irving,
remembering what desirable profes-
sion" it has been for himself, has not
felt justified in opposing his wishes. 1t
has been arranged that Lawrence Irving
shall join F. r. Bensons touring COM
pany in the autumn. Meanwhile, as an
amateur, he is to take part next week in
some fashionable theatricals now being
organized at Wimbledon by Mrs. Leo
Schuster. Henry Irving, Jr., it will be
remembered, joins Mr.. Hare's company

A Bear Story from Massachusetts.


Lyman Gallup, of Clarksburg, sixteen
years old, went to Stamford pond last week
with party of companions for few days
of camping. He was not long in getting
all he wanted of camp life, and Thursday
he bade adieu to the party and started for
home. Stamford pond is very wild re-
gion, far from the nearest settlement, and
one of the party more familiar with the
wilds than young Gallup accompanied him
through the forest to point from which,
it was thought, he would have no difficulty
in finding his way home. Shortly after
separating Gallup lost his way and wan
dered for long distance through the
mountain solitude, SO deep it seemed as If
It might lever before have been visited by

He had with him a shotgun, also a bas-
ket, In which he had carried provisions to
camp. AS he hurried on through the un-
broken forest, filed with alarm lest night
should overtake him before he should find
his way to the settlement, his attention
was attracted by black, shaggy animal,
closely resembling Newfoundland pup.
He knew at once that 1t was cub, and,
leveling his gun, he brought him down.
The cub was placed in the basket and the
homeward tramp was resumed, young
Gallup rejoicing over the proud trophy he
was bringing from the wood
Suddenly there was a great commotion
In his rear The thrashing of brush and
swapping of twigs convinced him that the
mother bear was on his track. The situa-
tion was decidedly uncomfortable. Gallup
broke into run, and tore down ths noun
tain at prize winning pace. but the tor
nado in the rear drew nearer, The boy
soon came to the conclusion that the

thrown into the bushes. Very soon after
