SHE SPOKE AT LAST.

| A SchOolteaCher who Was Pestered by q
Washer" Turned on Him.
1t was one of those frosty, nippy morn
ings when the pavements were icy and
winds piercing. A small, plump damsel
(by profession a schoolteacher) with rosy
cheeks, might have been seen tripping
along the slippery sidewalks of Ken
wood. 1t was very early, not yet 8
o'clock, and the little schoolmarm hur
ried, followed by a middle aged man
who had got off the car obviously to fol-
low her.
Its very slippery, isn't it," he pulled
as he overlook her.
The young woman's eyes flashed, but
she only gave little tug at her scrap of
dotted face veil, thrust her hands de-
terminedly into her muff and sped on.
A calling card, one Of her own, was
sticking out of her little jacket pocket,
with only the first two words, Miss
Elizabeth" just visible and the last
name obscured.
The stout man saw it.
"Your names Elizabeth, isn't it," he
said cheerfully. DO you know you re-
mind me so much of Lena Morris? She
was an old sweetheart of mine, and was
awfully fond of her"
No answer from the young woman ex-
cept quickening of her already Nancy
Hanks gait.
Don't go so fast" said her tormenter.
"You might slip and fall. really Won
der that you are not afraid to venture
out such bad day"
Miss Buckeyes said nothing. She had
about reached the drug store where she
was to wait for her car.
AS she went into the store with glow
ing cheeks, the dapper young clerk said,
Don't you want to come over by the
stove and get warm?"
81 want to know why am target for
every insolent man in town this morn
ing" she snapped as she glanced through
the door and saw the short, stout man
patrolling the sidewalk and evidently
still intent on pursuit. The drug clerk
subsidized, the car came, and on she got,
with the man at her heels. He sat down
beside her. When she arrived at her
street corner, he arose and followed her
out of the car. She had almost reached
her school and was getting brave. Again
he walked beside her and asked her if
she wouldn't SAY something to him."
Her voice had not a tremor, but was
deliciously clear and steady as she spoke
for the first time.
Certainly" she said. DO you know,
| was just wondering if man ever lived
to be your age before-let me see, you
must be 80 at least-who was capable of
acting SO perfectly idiotic. Now, for my
part, can tolerate young, empty
headed masher, but as for an old fool
like YOU but the middle aged, short
stout man had fied.-Chicago News.

mittee dissenting.
In presenting concurrent resolutions
| of the legislature of North Dakota for
constitutional amendment to have United
States senators elected by the people,
Mr.. Pettigrew said that in view OF the
fact that the legislature had been for
several weeks endeavoring to elect a
United States senator. and failed to do
so, he was heartily in favor of the new
plan.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was then taken up, being open to gen
eral amendment
During a discussion of the bill MI
German, in some remarks which be
made in opposition to the appropriations
for public buildings, spoke of the serlou:
and alarming condition which confront
ed the conntry; he expressed the beliet
that only the boarders of the trouble hao
been touched, and said that extraordlna
~ action would have to be taken by the
treasury department, or else Congres
would have to reassembie be
fore next July to meet the condition
His warning did not prevent the Senate
from agreeing to all the amendment
that were offered, making appropriation

all the republican Senators, except MI

Five.Year Government Bonds.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-The senate
adopted the Sherman amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation bill, which
gives the secretary of the treasury the
right to issue hereafter, at discretion,
five year per cent. bonds for the re-
demption of the greenback currency,
under the terms of the resumption act OF
1895. Dir. Brice, of Ohio, sought to en-
large somewhat the scope of the amend
msnt by declaring the object OF such
bond issues to be the maintenance OF the
parity between all kinds of UnitedState;
notes-silver notes, gold certificates,
greenbacks and treasury notes. But
this proposition brought on fierce dis
cussion. Mr. Brice finally withdrew HI;
amendment in order to embarrass til
success of Mr.. Sherman's plan modltca

Rev. Broughton Creates \
Sensation.

WESTON. n. c., Feb 0-Special.-
4 sad misfortune befell Miss Annie, a
l5 year old daughter of Thomas Peltis,
farmer of Middle Fork township SAtuT-
day. While standing in front Of tie
fire with her back to the fl fireplace, her
clothing became iguited and were in
blaze before she discovered II. Her
screams quickly brought her father To
her rescue, who endeavorcd to smother
the flames by enfolding his daughter in
quilts and blankets, but she was 80 ex
cited, and kept moving about so rapidly
that the flames could not be eif-ctusl.y
extinguished. Three buckets OF water
were also thrown upon the youag lady,
but before the fire could he put out she
was so badly bnrned that she died al
o'clock Sunday, suff ring excrucia
tingly until death relieved her sufT rings
Mrs. Pettis, the girls mother. was con
| fined to her bed, and was unable 10 ren-
| der any assistance. The death of the
| daughter caused her mother to become
seriously i'll. 1t is feared she will not
recover from the shock.
| The bondsmen OF ex postmaster Fagg.
of Madison, are trying to learn Of his
whereabouts Off cial Investigation re
veals the fact that Fagg is $3.50 short in
the money order business, while under
his guardianship. The postoffice depart
ment informed his bondsmen that they
would have to make the amount good.
Rev l. G.. Broughion, pastor of
Broad Street Baptist church, preached a
rather sensational sermon on the Sixth
comm sndment last night Ia the course
Of his remarks he referred u the recent
trial of J. T. Clark for the murder of
Rev Mr. Moffitt, at DAnville, Va. de
claring that the action of the courtin
placing SO light a sentence upon the
murderer was disgrace to the court OF
jury and crying shame upon the Sal,
of Virginia. DIR. Broughton discussed
murder under a number of heads. among
which were infanticide, attributable Il
the carelessness of mothers, and self
murder in modern social circles. HI
was especially hard on the excessive us'
of whale bone and steel by ladies, show
ing that it c4ueed premature deaths
which in such case was in itself a form o
self murder.
