FER0BIA'S FAILURE.
1t Was One of the Successful
Kind, Anyhow.

you're a stannin' in yer own light,
Teroby."
Timothy Filbert shook his head sol
.emnly as he spoke. He was large
man, with small, light blue eyes,
and chronic stoop in the shoulders,
suggestive of too steady application
to the plow.
You're n stannin in yer own light" +"
he repeated, impressively.
''Mebbe you're right, Timothy" ad-
mitted his sister, meelsly. She was not
naturally of a meek disposition, but
there are times when the most spirited
person feels crushed by circumstances,
and such moment had come to Miss
Ferobia. Timothy felt somewhat pla-
Gated by the unexpected admission.
"'Tain't too late yet" he suggested,
brislSly, taking his seat ut the break
fast table where his sister was already
pouring the coffee. "You just say the
word, Fcroby, an I'll give Jason Small
weed hint that you've changed yer
mind"
His pale blue eyes glanced inquiring-
ly at his sister, but Miss Ferobia's mo-
mentary meekness seemed to have van
ished as unaccountably as it had APP
peared.
II hareat changed my mind she re-
torted, with much asperity. 81 won't
marry Jason Smallweed, nor nobuddy
else. I'll stay right here an keep
house for you the balance Of my days" +"
Timothy wriggled uneasily. He had
his own reasons for not appreciating
the generous offer. TO fortify himself
for the disclosure which must be made
he swallowed half his coffee at gulp
"I-l-the truth is, Feroby," he STAN
mered, with crimson eountenance, II
felt 80 Sartin | was a-goin' TO lose you,
IL asked Nancy Garget, an she said
shed hare me-"
The cat was out of the bag now, and
Timothy mopped his face with his
handkerchief and breathed u sigh of re-
lief.
But Miss Ferobia, like = sensible
woman, bore the shock bravely.
And how soon am / to give up my
asituation?" she asked.
Timothy grew uncomfortable again.
Hey? ohl-why--you needn't to be
in hurry. 1t won't come off fur a
week yet" he hastened to explain.
"An', of course, you know wouldn't
hev nothin' agin yer stayin' right along,
same AS ever, only Nancy, She"
"You couldn't hire me to stay" was
the reassuring answer, and Timothy
congratulated himself on having the
matter so easily settled.
at puzzled me considerable to know
why Timothy was so sot on me chang
in my mind" reflected Miss Ferobia,
as she washed up the breakfast dishes
and polished the knives and forks. "But
it's plain as pikestaf now. might
% knowed he was sayin one word fur
me an two fur hisself."
Miss Ferobia was as unlike her
brother in appearance as she was in
disposition.

was straight as an arrow. And though,

"Emolumenrs OF Carbon County officials" ="
Under the above caption the follow
ing has appeared in the Mauch Chunk
Times, Gazette and Democrat, giving
what they claim as the amounts realized
by each official for his services per
annum;
Prothonotary and Clerk of the sever
al Courts, $4,000 per year.
Register and Recorder, from S2500 to
$1,000 per year.
High Sheriff, from $1,000 to $1,000 per
year.
County Treasurer, from $500 to
$1,000 per year,
County Commissioners (estimato),
$1,000 per year.
Associate Judge, from $500 to s40O
per year.
Commissioners Clerk, 5000 per year.
District Attorney, from 5000 to S70C
per year.
Now it is very evident that the
Mauch Chunk Daily Times, Mauch
Chunk Coal Gazette and Mauch Chunk
Democrat are getting very sensational
on the county officials salaries. They
must be ignorant of the fact that an
auditor is appointed every year, either
by the Court or State, to audit the
accounts of the Register and Recorder
and Prothonotary, and ascertain their
salaries, &c. The following auditors
have been appointed since 1880, viz:
e. r. SEWERS, j. S. Fisher, Harry
Graffin, (state), Fred Bertolette
Michael Cassidy and S. R. Gillian
some serving 2 years, and in no case
did the salaries of the Prothonotary
and Register exceed s1915 and some
times as low as s14OO. The people
would now like to know where the
Mauch Chunk papers got their figures
This wilful misrepresentation of facts
must be intentional, and have for its
object some sinister motives
