The plank, Molly's dangerous bridge.
fell to the ground as the express pulled
ahead, and we noticed that the feat
had been accomplished just in time,
for l looked out and saw only tbfee-
quarter mile stretch of the side track
before us.
We reversed the engine-dear old
forty seven that had won me a wife
and within an hour was the husband
of the sweetest little woman that man
ever loved--my Molly, here.
"What became of grandfather"
He soon forgave Molly, and has al
ways been kind to us, but his heart
is still darkened to Toms sons,
whom Molly insisted on hunting up
in Maine.
We found them both prosperous
farmers, who had no need of grand
fathers help, and this fact seemed to-
confirm his determination to have
nothing to do with them.
Grandmother has visited them, and
she is the same kind-hearted old lady,
devotedly fond of Molly, and attached
to our two boys, Sam and Abiiah. -

The Hun Miner.

The Hun miner is an undersized,
squatty man possessed of great physi-
cal strength and endurance. He does
not appear to know what fatigue
means. He can abstain from food and
drink an incredible time if necessity
demands it, as it often does. Sleep is
his greatest Joy, but he can renounce
that, too, if there is a feud TO- be
stirred up or revenge to be gratifed.
When it comes to combat the Hun of
the mines becomes a wild animal. Like,
the bulldog, he neither asks for quar-.
ter nor gives it, and will light most
cruelty until his foe is vanquished or
he is overcome himself, and then he
dies with snarl. This applies to sim
gle encounters In masses the HUI
is subject to the same collective fea4
that is found in any other nationality,
that curious psychological fact that
has never been fully and satisfactorily
explained-the panic that something
seizes body of brave men in til
presence of q foe inferior in numbers.
A thousand of them could be con-
trolled by company of well-disci"
plined militia, but if the thousand had
a courageous and able leader at their
head and man in whom they had
confidence, they would fight like
demons. 1t would seem with all this
that the laborer Hun was brave man,
but as a rule he isn't. His faculties
OF destructiveness and combativeness
are largely developed. The exercise
of these finds expression in ferocity
and cruelty, and the women are as bad,
if not worse than the men. They, too,
are capable of extraordinary endur-
ance and in the discharge of the
duties of motherhood are as near the
primitive as can be imagined. Their
children are hardy and strong, and
seem proof against the usual infantile
ills. When the husbands are fighting
the wives stand ready to assist and
aid them with food, weapons or what
ever may be needed. Woe betide the
unlucky man who may excite their
suspicious. They have no more idea
of mercy than so many tigresses, as
they proved when they fell upon the
unfortunate miner Militia and beat him
to death with stones. New York Mail
and Express.

A Haverhill Mass. man, in OF

A Haverhill Mass. man, in order
to impress business methods on his
son early in life, told the youngster
that if he would see that the gas bill
was paid before certain date each
month he could have the discount for
himself. The Haverhill youngster
took very kindly to the idea and cap
tured the discount each time the bill
came in. Tohis father ssurprise, how
ever, the gas bill began to increase at
a remarkable rate. He found one night
that his was burning gas all over the
top of the house from 10 o'clock until
the next morning. The youngster had
become a Napoleon of finance and had
discovered the fact that the bigger the
bill the bigger the discount.

MY CONSCIENCE,

know n little maiden,
With beauty fondly blest;
Her worth is famed throughout the land
By every lip confessed.
The secret of her beauty lies
Within the deeps of two blue eyes
Those bonnie eyes of blue,
Whose depths are pure and true,
BY day and night
They still shine bright
Those bonnie eyes of blue.
There's laughing mischief in those eyes
That one can scarce resist
They seem to say "What don't you know
My lips are to be kissed2,'
But woe to him who seeks the prize,
He's met by two stern, angry eyes
Those wicked eyes Of blue
They often tempt me too;
But l take heed
From others greed,
Those wicked eyes of blue.
But when temptations round me press
And seek to whelm me DER,
A strength is mine-I conquer then,
Though hot the fight and sore.
For who with sin would temporize
Can scarcely dare to meet those eyes
Those blessed eyes of blue,
That search me through and through,
But WI ut careI,
Till death draw nigh
I'll bless those eyes Of blue.

farmhouse. This morning saw
young girl come out of the green side
door with basket of clothes.
"aard pull that for a young one,"
says I to myself, and took another
look at her.
She had on some kind of blue
frock, with the sleeves rolled up, and
her hair was brown, shining gold like
in the sun as she bent to the basket
now on the ground, and drew out a
sheet and began to put it on the line.
Well, p'raps you wouldn't believeit,
sir, but kept thinking about the girl
all day, and when 1 made my return
trip l stared with all my might at the
clothes hanging there.
But they just tapped back, kind of
disdainful, and I didn't catch glimpse
of what wanted to see.

saw her, too, for, as l was sitting
on the stone wall opposite the house,
resting and specializing as to who she
was, she came to the window and
looked out at the moon.
All the next day kept thinking
how pretty she looked with her arms
raised to hang the sheet, and how the
light glistened on her hair, and how
she had leaned forward to look up at
the moon, and that night-that was
my Boston night spent in rescuing
her from the coils of boa constructor,
only to find her the next minute in
danger of being crushed by freight
car. The heroic acts performed that
night would make a volume.
The next day, on my second trip, I
thought l caught glimpse of that
blue gown flying around the corner.
Says I to myself;
"This thing must stop, Sam, oryou'll
be getting iuto trouble some day.
You'll be forgetting to slow up over

During Mr.. Cleveland's former adj
ministration Judge Holman, of In
diana, escorted to the White House an
aged but vivacious maiden lady of
seventy, a niece of John Quincy
Adams, who had spent her childhood
there. She entered the East Room.
Looking round in bewilderment she
exclaimed: ''What, is this really the
Same old room? Why, there used to
stand meal barrel, and in yonder
corner we're the washtubs, and from

her parasol, ga clothes line was
