NET Al rHx COUNTER.
Society Belle and Farmer Exchange Parcels
With Startling Results.

She is a pretty society belle and he
a horny-handed disciple of Cincinatus.
They happened to meet before the
same counter and each had a package
within the others reach. Not a look
or a word passed between them, yet,
the Detroit Free Press says, the cur
rent of their lives had touched. She
went home, and this occurred as she
met her sisters and two visiting
friends: "Oh, girlsl l have the lowell
est combination undersuit you ever
saw. / vas so fortunate, for there
was just one left, and l no sooner saw
it than it was mine"
"Do let us see, came in chorus from
the others, and they gathered about
her with eager looks and bated breath.
liz her hurry to show the new treasure
she broke the string and tumbled the
contents of the parcel upon the table.
the girls screamed, roared, shouted,
held their sides and finally rolled on
the floor, while the society belle stood
transfixed as she held aIoft a pair OF
common 4O-cent overalls. Her lips
were compressed, her eyes flashed fire,
and to herself she vowed a terrible re-
venge upon a clerk who was as inno-
cent as a child.
The farmer drove home, and when
the good wife asked him what was in
the bundle he never took his eyes from
the paper he vas reading, as he an
swered ''Overalls." 'Overalls," ech-
oed his better half shrieking, "overalls.
Look at them, Henry Humpert, vino
are these things for? Who ever
thought l would live to see the like OF
this? l want the whole truth, Henry,
and I'll have it, too. Mind that"
"Jehosephatl" shouted the farmer,
and he let go in a way that was simply
scandalous for a good moral citizen.
The next morning he was off for the
city before the birds were awake.
There vas a good deal of loud talk,
and it was all Strengthened out when
the farmer and the belle had both
spoken their pieces. They had simply
changed packages.

his fortunes with Evan Pugh. There
are many miners in Butte. They have
Il hall in which their meetings are held.
In that hall in letters OF gold, placed
in some conspicuous place, should be
written the name OF Evan Pugh.
Nothing more. His name will never
die while men nave tongues to speak
and hearts to feel. His name is its
own epitah.

John Paul Jones.

New York Press: II is indeed the
irony OF history that the great naval
demonstration in which several of the
finest vessels in Great Britain's navy
are taking part should begin with a
salute I % the flag of John Paul Jones.
A Scotchman endowed with Scottish
intrepidity and love OF adventure,
John Paul Jones became a navalcom-
American colonies. The flag saluted
Yesterday was not the first that he
hoisted, for that bore, it is believed,
the device of a pine tree. with a rattle
snake coiled at the root. Jones,
whose name was originally John Paul,
was a bold and desperate fighter.
His battle with the Scraps was one
Of the bravest ever fought at sea.
And besides he was "a skIllful sailor.
IL should not be supposed that John
Paul Jones was n mercenary in mis-
service to the American cause. AL
though he was born IN Scotland, and
spent his early boyhood there, he was
not much beyond II years OF age
when he first visited Virginia, where
his brother vas settled as a planter,
and, although he roved the sea for
years ufterward, before the breaking
out OF the American Revolution, he
probably regarded Virginia as his
home, and entertained Il genuine affec-
tion for the Old Dominion. At the
time the Revolutionary agitation be-
gan John Paul Jones was an actual
resident OF Virginia, and doubtless
shared deeply an sincerely in the
feelings OF his fellow Americans. The
impression, therefore, conveyed by
some writer's that he was Il mercenary
adventurer is incorrect.
The name of John Paul Jones will
always he dear to Americans, because
he was the first to compel the lowering
OF the British flag in an open contest
of strength with one OF England's
most powerful vessels oil war. His
achievement electrified the world OF
that dav. 1t infused new courage into
the breasts of the struggling patriots
at a time when some other events were
calculated to cause discouragement.
IL evoked the admiration of France
and earned the approval of Washing
ton. 10 the British the capture OF
the Scraps was most eXasperating.
They denounced Jones as a pirate and
would probably have treated him rs
n pirate had they been able to capture
him. But Jones survived to witness
the triumph OF the cause which he
supported, and although his restless
spirit led HIM to other fields OF ad-
venture lac died a little more than 100
years ago not u prey to want and
neglect, as some ave stated, but sur
rounded by kind friends and attended
by the physician of Mnrie Antoinette.
Incidents such as the saluting OF the
John Paul Jones flag are OF far reach.
ing value in stimulating a spirit oil
patriotism, in promoting the young
to make inquiry concerning the hero
ism and the sacrifices OF the men oi
the Revolution, and in arousing in the
more mature a keener sense of graft
tude to those now living who risked
their lives on land and sea that the
nation Tor whose independence the
fathers struggled so devotedly should
not perish from the earth.
