Downing the Drummer.

The drummer had finished one of
his wonderful stories ; his auditors in
the smoking compartment were dumb
with amazement. That is, they were
dumb for, say two minutes, when Il
very old man, who had NANTES d

throat and looked around on tie

permission, the facts in my case. l

young man, with all youth's ambition
and daring, was a member OF the i'm

Emperor daily, and often sat at his
table. One day, | never knew just
how, | did something that excited the
fiery temper Of the COrsican and in

wrath upon me. For an instant l

torrent of abuse, bit recovering my
self by the time he had finished his

and, approaching him closely, shook
my fist under his nose.

Her Night in a Vault with the Dead.

Mrs. Mary Slach, living on Gallup
street, Cleveland, Ohio, attended
neighbours funeral Tuesday and dur
ing the final ceremony, which took
place i'm a vault in Woodland Gene
terry, she dropped asleep. She was
sitting on a camp chair in an obscure
corner of the vault, and when at 4.3O
o'clock the mourners departed she
did not awake. The door changed
and the lock slipped into place, but
sill she slept.
At 3 o'clock the next morning she
awoke, shlvering. Her cries aroused
the guard, who instead of opening
the vault door at once, telephoned to
Raus Bros, undertakers, begging
them to come quick because their
last subject" had come to life and
wanted to get out OF her coffin. Two
collins had been deposited in the
vault on that day, so the guard tele-
phoned another undertaken Two
policemen were also summoned in
hot haste.
During all this delay Mrs. Slach had
been rending the air with her cries
for assistance, but the guard waited
for the undertakers. Finally under
takers, policemen and guard eau
tiously unlocked the door and the
woman tumbled out, nearly exhaust
ed from fright and exertion. The wo-
Mail was sent home in an undertake
er's wagon, and is quite i'll.

He Didn't Forget Her.

Gratitude that lives through half
century must be sincere, indeed. 1t
is as rare as it is sincere.
Fifty years ago, while North
Georgia was wilderness-peopled
only by few adventurous pioneers,
there lived in Campbellton young
Hebrew named Moses Loeb. He was
a peddler, carrying his pack through
a range of country which it took him
about one month to cover. During
one of these trips he fell sick at the
home of DIR. Glover, whose house was
one of the stations on his way. His
illness developed into q severe attack
of typhoid fever. Only the most care
full nursing brought him back to
health. when he departed, profuse in
his thanks to Mrs. Glover for her at
tention to him. That was his last APP
pearance. He wandered away, and
the Glovers gradually forgot all about
him.
One month ago a letter with New
York postmark was received at the
little postofIice in CampbeIlton. Its
superscription was in foreign, con
tracted hand. The letter was ad-
dressed TO the mayor Of Campbellton.
As that town does not rejoice in the
possession of D mayor, the letter was
opened by several prominent citizens,
who, it was agreed, could represent
the interests of the community III an
swering the strange missive. The
letter was signed Moses Loeb, aud in
uuired for the address of Mrs. Glover.
Il understand that she is u widow,
and in needy circumstances, the let
ter went on. ''and | want to know the
facts
The answer was sent that Mrs. Clio
ver was, as stated, widow, and poor,
and that she lived at present in Doug
lasville, where any letter would reach
her.
The other day Mrs. Glover received
letter which she could not ut first
understand. 1t contained certified
draft for $500. The writer said
"Forty-eight years ago lived Il

point of death in your house for six

Mrs. Glover has lively remem-
brance of the young Hebrew, and is
carried away by his remembrance of
her kindness so long ago.

excitement in the church, put stop
to the wedding.
Some weeks ago Miles and his wife
met at a masquerade ball. Neither
knew the other. Miles, while dancing
with his wife, said he would like to
correspond with her. She asked him
his object, and he replied 'matri-
mony.'
'And you love me enough to marry
me?" she asked. Il do, | do" was
the answer. Mrs. Miles then threw
off her mask. The former husband
was astounded. but he was as good as
his word. Rev. c. H. Hays united

An Italian laborer, of Detroit, Mich,
was paid some money the other day,
twenty-three dollars in all, and took
it home to his wife. After counting
tie money over together they laid it
on the table for moment while they
adjourned to the corner grocery to
celebrate their wealth. Returning in
a few minutes, they found the money
gone. There was nobody in the house
but "a NANCY yellow cur, and after
looking high and low for the funds,
they concluded that he must have
stolen them, especially as on eXami-
nation they found bit of green pa
per adhering to his teeth. Accord
ingly the dog was sacrificed, and a
post-mortem held on his remains,
with the result that all the money
was found in his stomach. 1t was
torn to pieces, but these were careful
ly fitted together, and forwarded
through a bank to the treasury for
redemption.

record shows, than one-half of all the
other ministers there combined. He
never took fee in his long, useful
and exemplary life. Mr.. Stricken is
a Dunkard, known all over the
country for his worth. He marries
couples at any and all times and
places-in the fields, at the stores, at
his home, on the road and even in
the saw-mill. He does pretty much
the bulk of his-business, and couples
60 to him at Their pleasure, knowing
