United States the sum Of seventy thousand
million dollars was annually stolen from the
producers Amid all that wealth he said,
misery increases so fast that the land of the
brave. the home Of the free Is in reality a
hell

banjo that Sam held in his hand when

| asked him where Sam was Helooked
at me with tears in his eyes, and said in
a voice filled with emotion, Come,

Silently followed him through the
open door, out upon the smooth grassy
yard, toward the large oak tree, under
which Sam had so often sat, playing
upon his banjo. Silently Mr. Delon

given him a reputation not bounded by
the confines Of this country, is about
forty five years old IN personal ap

hair on bis head and face is not abun

extremes Of character, aud in nothing
is this shown moro plainly than in his

He has made many enemies, his tempta-

lie Repented Before Marriage,


The proverbial saying about the
"slip 'twixt cup and lip" was excel
lently illustrated not long since in Paris
Under rather curious circumstances. a
wedding party had reached the mayor
Of the district in which the bride re-
sided, and all the usual preparations
had been made for the festivities which
we're to mark the suspicious occasion.
The bride was duly handed out OF
the carriage, and leaning on her fathers
arm, began to go up the steps of the
building wherein the mayor was wait
ing to perform the ceremony The
bridegroom walked close behind her,
and was clumsy enough to put his foot
on the white satin train of her wedding
dress.
The stuff gave way, the dress was
torn, and the fair wearer, greatly an
noyed at the mishap, turned around
upon her future husband, exclailning
angrily, 1mbecilel" The young man,
after remarking aloud, "If it be Ike
this before marriage what will it be af
terward" turned his back on the bride
and the assembled company and fed,
leaving dismay and CONSERVATION be.

Captain Fred Ostman, of Stonington,
caught in one of his fish pounds Satur-
day species of fish never before seen
by any of the local fishermen The fish
was not over one inch through in the
thickest part, and in shape somewhat
resembled the variety known as skate
1t was twenty inches wide, and but
twelve inches from its head to the end
of It's body, and iCs eyes wefe wide
apart and nearly in the center of the
body, while it's mouth was very broad
and underneath the body. Nearly all
the old fishermen viewed the fish, but
none of them ever saw the like before

Mrs Cyrenas Slack, of Lambertville,
N, j., had an experience Monday even
ing which she is not likely to forget
soon. She and her children were tax
ing a stroll in the country, and sat
down in the grass along the roadside.
The children began to play, and Mrs.
Slack was watching them, when sud
denly the younger screamed and said,
ooh, mamma, look in your lap" She
turned her head quickly, and there,
curled up and head erect, was black
snake about five feet in length. In
terror she jumped to her feet, when the
snake fell to the ground and quickly
crawled away. Philadelphia Ledger

SAM,
Aug. q, 49,

Mr.. Delon had approached and now
stood at my side. In voice trembling
with emotion he said
Sam was right. He gave his life to
save mine" Together we went back to
the house, end here Mr. Delon told me
the story Of Sans death The house
had been entered by thieves and the
noise awakened Mr.. Delon. Springing
out of bed and seeing a man in the
room he rushed at the thief and at
tempted to seize him. The man eluded
his grasp and drawing knife attempt
ed to stab Mr.. Delon. The blade was
swiftly descending when another form
thrust itself between the men and re
ceived the blow intended for Mr. Delon
The robber leaped from the window
and escaped, and then Mr.. Delon found
Sam-true to the last-lying upon the
floor with dagger in his heart. He
never spoke again, but his eyes, made
even more weird by the approach of
death, looked again at the master he
had loved so well and whom he had
saved with his own life, and then Sam
was dead. -Noslenod Yendis in New

judge, why he ever put such a thing

or close friendship with anybody OF
