The Everlasting Nuisance Gets IN

One OF Major Stofah's best girls
he has a dozen or so-has q small
brother who hasn't any use for the
major whatever. Several evenings
ago the Major went to call and it hap
pened that the boy was standing in
the doorway and let the Major in
without ringing the bell.
"Is your ster at homer" inquired
the Major, politely.
"Oh, yes, sir, responded the boy, so
pleasantly that the Major began to
have hopes. "Will you step into the
parlor and wait until she comes down
stairs?"
The Major smiling all over, assured
the boy he would and passed into the
parlor, where he found comfortable
chair. The boy went upstairs, three
at jump, and the Major was tickled
more than ever.
The Major waited 10 minutes and
began to look over book ofpictures.
This required fifteen minutes. Then
he took straight rnoecupied wait
of 3 minutes longer. But this time
he was nervous and he looked around
to find a servant. The house was
dead still and dark everywhere except
in the parlor and hall. The Major
was afraid to act and remained quiet
another half hour. 1t was now near
ly 10 o'clock and the Major heard a
football on the stairs. He waited
most anxionsly. 1t was the small
boy and he skun past and opened the
front door. Then he came back to
the parlor door.
"Sister'll be down in a minute" he
said, grinning at the stupefed Maj er.

said you would wait till she came

The story is that in this mine,

Quickly the young lady recognized
the gravity of the situation. She
thought ofthe family horse, valuable
animal, and one to which she was
much attached, standing in his stall
with fright while the smoke and
flames were nearly enveloping him.
Giving the alarm to her friends, the
brave little lady broke the window
with her umbrella and climbed in re,
gardless of wounded or bleeding

barred. Then stripping off her jacket,
she blindfolded the frightened horse
and led him to the open air. BY this
time the screams of the young ladies
had brought crowd to the scene,
and some one had turned in the
alarm. The fire department quickly
responded, and the flames were sub
dued before the building was wholly
destroyed although the damage, which
included the destruction of two costly
buggies, amounted to from $4,000 to
