A TOWN in New Jersey is excited
over the coming marriage of well-to-
do man of 20 with young lady of %,
whose sister is already married to the
old mans son. Such wedding. it is
true, will mix the families up little,
but there is no trace of intermarriage
about it. and as for the rest, weddings
are, or should be, affairs not at all the
business of the public.

The electricians Of to-day are study

The day is probably far distant when

problem may be more difficult than
those solved in the past.

OF age had occasion to shoot friend
with whom he had a personal difficulty.
He was arrested and brought to Austin
for trial. AS he had no money to hire q
lawyer, the court appointed member
of the Austin bar to defend him. As
the jury was being selected, the lawyer
asked his client if he knew of any cause
why any of them should be challenged.
''Not yet" was the whispered reply;
''but if they find me guilty, I've got a

out on his way to the mountain. He easilv
found the rocky cave leading to the buried
castle, and passing through the dark cavern,
he came to a large garden, beautifully
lighted with many colored lights.
and where flowers of every variety
bloomed in endless profussion. Sparkling
fountains played on the broad lawns, and
birds sang merrily in the trees. At the
gate lay huge dragon, which roared furi-
ously, and opened its mouth so wide that if
Clarence had been q boy of the ordinary
size he would have been swallowed at one
gulp. When the great animal was about to
spring at him, the young giant seized it with
his powerful hands, and after fierce strug-
gle the dragon lay dead. Clarence was so
fatigued by the combat that he returned to
the hut to rest till the next day. When the
old witch saw him enter the house she
said:
Did you see the dregons, and were you
afraid to go near them?"
81 have killed one," answered Clarence,
and shall slay another to- morrow"
The old witch was greatly astonished at
these words, and wondered at the strength
of the giant. The next day Clarence went
again to the castle under the mountain.

REscU1NG THE PRETTY PRINCESS.

For several hours he wandered through the
beautiful gardens; but when he atte 11pted
to enter the castle, there at the door lay the
second dragon, larger and fercer than the
first. When Clarence at last slew him he
was so weary that he lay down. on the floor,
and slept until nearly night. When the
boy related his adventures to the old witch,
she begged that he would not try to kill the
third dragon.
For she said, eff vou do so all nv
power will be gone, and 1 shall surely die"
But Clarence thought that the life of the
Princess was of more value than that of the
old witch, and, after resting two days, he
went in quest of the Dragon, whose death
was to free the beautiful prisoner. The boy
passed unmolested through the gardens and
into the castle. He wandered through wide
halls and ascended broad stairways Finally,
on the top floor of the building, he found a
door guarded by dragon more fierce than
the others had been. Its eyes burned like
live Goals, and its tongue resembled flames
of fire. After long struggle Clarence sue
ceeded in Staying the monster. He then
sank on the floor and slept heavily. When
he awoke the beautiful Princess was stand
ing over him.
SIT is you who have rescued me, I know"
she said ''Come, L shall lead you to my
fathers palace, where you shall be rewarded
for your kindness to me-
The King was so overjoyed over the re-
turn of his daughter that he gave Clarence
rich gifts and made him commander of his
army. The buried castle and its gardens
rose to the top of the mountain, and the
King gave this to the rescuer of his daugh-
ter for home for his mother and himself.
AS Clarence was on his way to old Lisbeth's
house, he stopped at the little hut where he
had found shelter There the old witch lay
dead. She had died Just as Clarence had
killed the last dragon. PASTE.

HER WATCH IN HER NECK.
The Latest Phase of the Evolution of
Habits About the Time Piece.

The Latest Phase of the Evolution of
Habits About the Time Piece.
New York Press.l
If you see woman suddenly clutch at her
chest, and look as if she were going to die at
once, you may guess that her chatelaine
watch has slipped. Women have taken to
wearing their watches down their necks.
The popular woman's watch is attached now
to short chain, which ends in ball or
other ornament. No one knows why, but
such watch is called a chatelaine. She
wore it in her belt sometime ago, but the
watch being heavier than the ball, was
likely to slip through. Besides, she always
dropped the watch when she took off the
belt. Then, too, she does not always wear
belt. She can put the watch down her
neck though, even if the collar is high.
You have doubtless observed ball and
chain hanging from many collar these
days. She used to put her watch in her
dress. That is, she used to open two or
three buttons about half way down her
bodice, and tuck the watch in, but buttons
were bother, or perhaps, if it was tailor
made, she could not get them rebuttoned.
Then, too, that little ribbon she has taken
to wearing in the top of her corset cover
would get caught in the stem of the watch,
and come out when she looked for the time
of day. People did say she meant it, too,
and her feelings were hurt, and now she
wears her watch down her neck Some
times when she sighs, and gets quite full of
breath, and then, of a sudden very empty,
you see the ball disappear as a float does
when there is fish at the hook. The watch
has gone down. She will have to undress
to get it. Meanwhile she feels as if-weI,
you just look at her and you can see how
she feels

DOROTHY,

That was all; but he took those two names
and wove around them story of tender
possibility and humanity. He put in the
high lights of happiness and the shadows OF
sorrow as they must come, dear Asterisk- to
all of us. He wrote on as the sun went
down, and thought not of the hunger and
the homeless, pitiless, scadless night that
was coming on. He wrote while the shad-
ows heightened in the churchyard and the
roar of business along Broadway died down
to sort of mercantile purr.
NOW HE HAS MISTER ON HIS CARDS
Then he took his "copy" and went up the
Bowery to where one may abide all night
for 10 cents. There he abode the night.
But he did not care. He was happy. He
did not have TO sleep there any more. The
editor read his little story aloud till his
voice got husky aud then he read it to him.

editor, and has engraved visiting cards with

UP IN TRINITY's SPIRE.

Ambrose knew that this was only polite
way of getting rid of him, but he asked a
policeman to show him Trinity Church, and
he went up in the spire alone. He cried a
little up there, for, as he looked out over
the big, smoky city, he thought that in that
great, swarming "human hive, as he called
it at home in The AdOaree, he had no friend
Here, even under the golden cross of the
church, he was alone. 1t was pitiful
thought, and Ambrose hungered for his
his throat he sharpened his pencil and
looked about him, for he had akeen sense
for the unusual.
Cut with a knife on the little window
frame by his side he read:
