Drifting Apart.

In many families one member, of ten the most intelligent and lovablc stands alone separate from the others as though an invisible wall of ice rose between them.
 Usually, this diversion is caused not by lack of love or good will, bu, by some difference or manner or taste-in word, they cannot keep step with the prevailing habit of thought of their companions.
 Il knew before 1 married, said q young wife, that Ben made his liv- ing by raising cattle. But 1 did no, suppose that he took any special in. terest in them as cattle. When he talks every day of Alderneys and Holstems, of marks and pcdigrees he bores me unspeakably, and I tell him so.'
 This lack of sympathy, and indif ference to what makes an essential part of her husbands life-in other words the failure to fall in step witt her husband-will probably ensu, to this wife and husband an unhapp, domestic future.
 Young people are often unwilling to fall in step. It is not easy fol them to perceive that they and tho friend who differs from them car both be right. Besides, some mind. are apt to feel that there is a certain distinction in belonging to tho minority.
 Either as wife, sister, husband ol brother, if you would have happy family life, remember two rules:
 In matters of principle, stand lik, rock.
 In matters of taste, swim with th, current. - Ex.

A Brave Baby.

Aplucky four-year old baby lives in Oskaloosa, Iowa. It is a child of Mrs. Wilson, and, while playing about the mouth of deep well GOV cred hy loose boards, fell in. The well is thirty feet deep, and con tained ten feet of water at the time. The mother saw the child fall, and frantically gral ped clothes line, and lowered 1t into the well. The child grasped the line, but of course could not hold on tight enough to be drawn out, so the mother tied her end above.
 "Will pet hold on tight tlll mamma runs for papa?" tremblingly cried the mother to the little one. "Ess, came brave little sob from below.
 Tho mother hurried away, and soon returned with the father and several other men, who after much difficulty, rescued the child from it's chilly bath. The little one was al- most unconscious from cold when taken out, hut had hravely olung to the clothcs-line all the time, holding its head above the water. The hap py mother huggeG her rescued one, and wept for joy, while the assem- bled crowd threw up their hats and cheered in acknowledgment of the baby's grit.-[N. Y. World.

What the Washington Post Thinks OF Its

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-The Post
says: Senators Aldrich and Stew

total variance with each other, left
Washington on the Congressional Linn
tied at 5 o'clock for New York to see
Senator Stanford, who is at the Wind

shall ask the Senate to resume its con-
sideration Immediately. Of course if he
is against it the opposition has the adj
vantage"
The Post says also that the general
belief at the capital is that the closure
resolution and the elections bill have
received their death blow, although the
Senators favorable to both measures
will not leave stone unturned to again
seek their reconsideration. Indeed,
Senator Spooner began yesterday after
noon to see if he could muster sufficient
strength to bring up the elections bill
again, but his labors are likely to be in
vain. Senator Hiscock said that he re-
garded the bill as virtually dead

PLUcKY PEDAeOeUE.

A Subdued School Takes Up the Regular
Programme After an Interruption.
ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 2S.-A number
of the older boys in the Mount Hope
school in the suburbs of Anderson had
been guilty of obscene conduct toward
the young ladies of the school and the
facts coming to the knowledge of the
teacher, Edward Farmer, he resolved to
punish the guilty parties.
Yesterday Farmer called out Charles
DELPHI, who is nearly grown, for the
purpose of thrashing him. AS DELPHI
left his seat he was joined by four of
his schoolmates, when they all assaulted
the teacher at once.
Farmer knocked his assailants right
and left, locked the door and, pulling
off his coat, fought the entire party
single handed and succeeded in
thoroughly subduing the refractory pu-
pills, but not until he had given each
one pair of black eyes and bloody
nose as mementoes of his pugilistic skill.
After the dust had settled the regular
school programme was resumed as
though nothing had occurred, and Mr..
Farmer is master of the situation.

Indians upon the ranch Of Noah New

night. Newbanks, his family and three
men who were in his employ had Just
finished their suppers, when a crash of
glass was heard, followed by the report
of a rifle. Selling their arms New
banks and his men rushed out
of doors only to meet another
volley from party of Indians
about 100 yards from the house. For
tunately none of the whites were
injured by the fire. They Immediately
returned the fire and the Indians re-
treated across the Cheyenne. A vigilant
lookout was kept at the ranch all night
but the Indians did not return to the
attack. The next morning the ground
was closely examined and in several
places the grass was found to be stained
with blood and from this evidence some
Indians were wounded

A SURPRISING voIE.
The Shelving of the Closure Rule Some
what of a Surprise.

what OF Surprise.
WASHINGTON, Jan est is an unde-
niable fact that Senator Aldrich and the
Republican Senators were completely
taken by surprise by the action of the
Senate in laying aside the closure reso-
luton and taking up the apportionment
bill. There were no expectations on
their part that any important vote would
be reached, and at least one Republican
Senator who was in the city was told
that he might safely leave the Capitol
to attend to some departmental bust
ness. Consequently he was not pres
ent when the decisive votes were
taken and it was with difficulty
that pair could be arranged for him.
Senator Stanford is the only Republic
an recorded as absent and impaired
His vote for the motion to table Sena-
tor Wolcott's motion to take up the ap-
portionment bill would have defeated
the motion, as the resulting tie would
have called forth the casting vote of
the Vice-President, without doubt in
favor of the continued consideration of
the closure rule. The same result would
have followed the arrangement Of pair
by Senator Stanford with Democratic
Senator. The move made by Senator
Wolcott was thoroughly timed from his
point of view, for it was expected that
in the course of forty-eight hours at
most several Republican Senators, in
addition to Senator Stanford, who are
now absent from the city, would
return, and if they declined to pair
the result might have been differ
ent. The future course of events, ac-
cording to Mr.. Aldrich, will depend
largely upon Senator Stanf ord, whose
position in regard to the closure rule it
is expected will be definitely ascer-
tanned as soon as he returns. Mr.. AL
drich says that if Senator Stanford
agrees to support the rule he will ask
the Senate to resume its consideration
Immediately.
1t is probable that the opposing
forces in the Senate will maintain the
fullest possible Attendance of all their
members from this time forward, in
order to be prepared to take advantage
of any changes In the situation that ac-
cidental or other causes may bring
about
