big, black fellow known as Frebah,
who enjoyed something OF reputation
as an elephant hunter. Visiting the
orchard that had been destroyed the

A MODERN ROMANCE.

simplicity has been exiled by the railway
and the telegraph? From away down on
Ground Hog Greek in West ViIginia,
there comes a tale of love and devotion
that stirs the blood of the sluggard and
carries the mind back to the wooing of
John Allen and Priscilla.
Miss Caroline Coats was the belle of
Ground Hog Creek. She nd a host of
suitors, but she fell in love, after the
accepted fashion Of romantic damsels,
with the one poor young man whom both
her parents frowned upon. An elope
ment was planned forthwith, but how
should it be carried out? Anything
in tho gay aud glorious style OF Loch

poor young man, Sandy johnson, v as SO
poor that he possessed not even mule
But he mad an abundance OF grit also

calf and trained to the saddle
Whether these West Virginia lovers
had read OF Priscilla's bridal ride upon
an animal OF the same sort, with John
Alden pacing sedately along by the side
of his sweetheart, the narrative saith
not. But with real lover like ingenuity
| they proceeded TO put the idea into
| execution. The fair Miss Caroline s. ole
from her obdurato fathers home after
! nightfall, mounted the patient steer,
which Sandy held in an adjacent grove,
and She two set out Tor the town of

OF all the 10 appointments under the
Sergeant alarms OF the United States
Senate, those of the pages only can be
said to be non political. With the be-
ginning of the extra session several
of the pages will 60 out of Office owing
to the fact that they have reached

is not 12 years of age, and no boy
can continue as page who is 16
years of age at the beginning of session
of Congress. 1t is a lucrative position
aud few of the boys are not sorry when
their term has ended. Usually four of
