His wife's Letter.

II wish you would mail this let
ter as you go down town, JIM"
said Mrs. Bloobumper to her hus-
band as he arose from the break
fast table. | am very anxious for
mamma to get it early tomorrow.
"All right" replied Bloobumper.
II should not be surprised if |
forget to mail this. Mary has been
talking for week about inviting
her mother to come down for a
months visit, but / don't know
that | am anxious to aid in for

did you mail that letter gave
you this morning?" asked Mrs.
bloobumper, when her husband
came home that night.
Certainly" replied the unblush-
ing prevaricator.
When he returned home an even-
ing later his wife confronted him.
"You told me last night you had
mailed that letter to mamma"
"Well?"
"Well, you didn't"
"Oh, yes, i"
Don't tell me any more of your
untruths. If you had mailed that
letter mamma would not be in this
house now"
"Here now2'
"Yes, here now"
"Why, thought it was an invi-
tatlon to her to come and stay q
month. You know you were talk
ing of inviting her"
Exactly, and / did invite her.
| mailed that letter myself. The
one l asked you to mail was one
requesting her to postpone her visit,
and if you had done as l asked you
she would have received it before
it was time for her to leave home.
Now come in and tell her she's
welcome, and that you can't think
of letting her leave under six
weeks" And so Bloobumper went
in.-Harper's Bazaar.

Shoe Superstitions

When a pair of new shoes are
brought home never place them on
a shelf higher than your head, il
you would have good luck while
wearing them, and never blacken
them until you have had on both
shoes, or else you may meet an ac-
cident, and perhaps, sudden death.
1t is said that the old maids be-
lieve that when their shoes become
united and keep coming united, it
is true their sweethearts are talking
and thinking about them.
The sweetheart, when OH the

A Cunning Fox.


Of the coast of Ireland is a small
island where rabbits abound, and
when the tide is out the place can
be reached by wading, the water be-
ing then only a few inches deep.
Two fishermen one day rowed to
the island for bait, it being high
tide, and, on landing, saw fox ly-
ing on the beach. The fur of the
animal was all bedraggled and he
seemed to have been drowned. One
of the men, remarking that the
skin was worth something, pitched
the fox into the boat. Procuring
their bait, they returned to the
mainland, and the man who had
possessed himself of the fox seized
him by the tail and flung him on
the shore. AS soon as the animal
struck the beach he picked himself
up with considerable agility for a
dead fox, and shot off like a flash
up among the cliffs, while the men
stood staring at each other in mute
establishment.
The men concluded that the fox
had crossed over to the island dur
ing the night, when the tide was
low, in search of rabbits, and find
ing in the morning that he was cut
off from the mainland, counterfeited
death with the expectation of there
by procuring q passage to the shore
in a boat, an expectation which
was fully realized.

THE MEYER MURDER TRIAL.


pert, on the stanu.
NEW YoRK, Dec. l4.-The trial of DIR.
Henry G. II. Meyer, for poisoning and de-
frauding life insurance companies, was
resumed, and the day was given up to
chemical and medical exports and law
yeis, of course, in examining or cross ex-
amining them, displaying their study of
toNicology, pathology. anatomy, chemis-
try and kindred sciences now grouped in
medical Jurisprudence
Charles A. Doremus, professor of chem
istry and toxicology at Bellevue Medical
college, and well known to all New York
ers and to the world as an expert witness
in the trials of Carlyle W. Harris and DR..
Buchanan, was the principal witness OF
the day. He found, he said, both arsenic
and antimony in the stomach of Brandt.
there being n few grains of the latter and
small quantity of the former. Judging
from what he had found in the few por
tions of Brandt's anatomy analysis, the
witness believed that the man was simply
saturated with arsenic.
The cross examination by Mr.. O'Sulli-
van did not change the testimony of DR.
DoTemus, although the defense managed
to extract the following valuable admis-
sions from him: That DIR. Minden told
him he had prescribed arsenite of copper
and he hnd found both arsenic and copper
in the body, and that he could not tell
whether he arsenic was administered be-
fore death or through an embalmlng pro-
cess after
Professor George l.. Peabody testified
that he believed that tho death OF the
man Baum had beon caused by the poi5ons
found in his organs; that the symptoms
displayed during the mans illness were
such as would be caused by mineral polls

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-The bill for the
admission Of Utah to statehood was passed
without division by the house yesterday
at the conclusion of the debate, the only
amendments of Importance incorporated
In the enabling act being one prohibiting
polygamy forever and another reducing
half the land granted for the state for
school purposes. Then, before adjourn.
ment the resolution of or. 6itt calling
for the correspondence in the Hawaiian
affair, amended 10 MS to include IN extern
sion of the period to be covered by the
correspondence to March. 1899, the begin
ming of the Harrison administration was
taken up and passed. 1t was expected
that lively debate would occur when
this resolution was reported back to the
house, but Mr.. Hit. the author. refrained
from criticism and there was no explosion.
Mr.. Boutellc, of Maine, who manifested
disposition to speak, was taken off his feet
by the motion to order the previous ques-
tion. The resolution for the appointment
Of a Joint committee to investigate the
rank, pay and other questions relating to
the personnel of the navy, which has been
filibustered against for several days was

report was characterized as containing

that while he was opposed to the annexa-
tion OF the islands, the restoration of the
queen by force would be "au act Of war"
The resolution offered on Monday by Mr..

legitimately or otherwise. Altogether,
1t was most substantial and well to do
looking document.
To the true genealogy of Sir Archi-
bald johnson was added the name q my
great-grandfather, Walter johnson, as
only son Of Sir Archibald and Lady
Eleanor Johnson who migrated to
America few years before the death of
his father, and there the record ended,
to be taken up by my family In the United
States.
AS Mr.. Roberts and his assistants were
experts at such work, / had them get up
magnificent genealogical tree, adding
the Johnsons in the United States to
date, and devoting a corner to the fani-
ly arms, all in colors, and the whole
work on the finest vellum. Thus had
the tree-a beautifully constructed gen.
ealogical table-and appended to that
long and very interesting family history.
We managed to take into our genealog-
ical table-at my suggestion--from his
tory a certain Lady Arbella johnson,
daughter of Thomas, fourteenth earl of
Lincoln, wife of Isaac johnson. This
lady, it appeared from the account ex-
humed by Mr.. Roberts, accompanied her
husband to New England on board the
Eagle, whose name was changed in her
honor to the Arbella. She died in Sa-
lem, Mass, in 1850, about two months
after her arrival in America. .-
While my genealogists were at work
upon the pedigree of Sir Archibald and
Lady Eleanor. ] had their coffin plates
polished up and retouched in spots Also
l caused to be made for my sisters and
mother u few gold ornaments set with
handsome gems and bearing the family
crest, bracelets and all else being of an
cient patterns. They were the best coun-
terfeits of ancient family jewels that
could be turned out in London by an ex-
pert at such work, an artist immensely
patronized on tho sly. .. ...5
| next invented very pleasing and
romantic fiction of these jewels having
been deposited by Sir Archibald with
certain barrister-his lawyer-as secret
trust, TO be delivered to the heirs of his
son Walter when personally applied for
and under certain conditions, one of
which was that the person applying
must remove his remains to America, in
accordance with his dying wish. This
trust bound not only the counselor at
hw, but also his heirs, with much more
that put into the story to make it
plausible.
