HOPE DEFERRED.

Out He Doesn't Propose to BE Put %
That Way if the Law VIII Help Him.
Serious consequences are threatened
as a result of practical joke played on
William Hope. an impressionable youth
Of Weston. On New Years eve Hope
accompanied two young ladies home
from church and on the way proposed
marriage to one of them, Miss Nora
Corcoran.
Miss Corcoran. considering the oppor-
tunity for joke irresistible, slyly wink
ed at her friend and professed to be
quite willing to accept the proposal
But she called attention to very serious
difficulty arising from the fact that she
is a Catholic and her lover a Protestant.
Under these conditions. she said, they
could not very well marry unless he
espoused her faith. This Hope very glad
ly promised to do.
To have a lark Miss Corcoran permit
ted him to go into the house and sent for
several OF Ter friends to witness the
l,,ort. Among the 1umber was ex-Bur.

ing the Young man into an adjoining
room. a confession was got from him Of
all his past sins. some of which were of a
very startling nature. He was then bap-
tized with water and anointed with vase
line and declared ready for the ordeal.
Hope then went into the kitchen, where
Miss Corcoran's father sat calmly smok.
ing pipe. and getting down on his knees
gained the old gentleman's consent 70

mony WAS performed and was followed
by a wedding march and a feast. The
couple were wished all kinds of happi-

Negro Superstitions.

Among the superstitions of southern
negroes are thos,s which make it a mos,
unfavorabi" thing to see black ca

without making a cross" in the street.
road or path. The belief in witches
is perhaps more general tnan any other,
and an x-congressman tells of case in
this section within the past 80 years in
which witch was killed in a ver-
strange fashion. A negro called on a
itch doctor, very old woman. ann
was told that the cause of the trouble
vas a witch and that she must be kill
ed; that the only way possible to thW
put her out of the way was to go into
the woods and cut the figure of per.
son on the bark of big pine tree, mark
a cross on the body and shoot this with
q silver bullet, the cross representing
the witch's heart. The shooting was
duly done in the presence of quite a
number of persons. This Occurred IN
the northern part of this county. Ce-
lar balls are carried in the pockets az
a protection against witches. The ne

Many explanations have been given ~.
the origin of the eSprC SSion raining

version of the French catadoupc ID

or cataracts. Another explanation },
that the male blossoms Of the willow
tree. which are used on Palm Sunday 60
represent the branches of palm, were
called ''cats and dogs in some parts
of England, where they increase rapidly
after few warm April showers. and
the belief prevailed that the rain brought
them.
Others trace the saying to northern
mythology, in which the cat is said to
have great influence on the weather,
and sailors still have a saying, THE cat
has a gale Of wind in her tail. when
she is unusually frisky. Witches that
rode upon the storms were said to a.
sumo the form of cats, and the stormy
H9thwest wind is called the cat =

have greatly excited the people in that
vicinity. The following resolutions were
adopted:
eve, as citizens OF Kansas and citizens
OF the United States, do hereby beg the
privilege OF presenting this earnest wish
to your eXcellency, Grover Cleveland,

as there has been granted to every citizen
OF the United States the constitutional
rights OF life. liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness, and inasmuch as there has
been granted by natures laws the divine
right of being we'll born, and inasmuch as
we see the rich armed against the poor
and the poor driven to selling their bodies
and souls, man selling his manhood and
woman her virtue for food and raiment
therefore, we the undersigned, do hum
bly, beg pray and entreat, nay demand,
that you take off your crown, vacate your
throne, lay down your scepter and take
yourself away from the sight OF human
