Blanche Willis Howard.

Blanche Willis Howard has written in all
nine books since she stepped before the pub
lie as story maker in 1874, some of them
stronger and more elaborate than her first
but none probably quite so affectionately
welcomed and delightedly read as that
same initial one, "One Summer" Shewrote
it to earn money to go abroad, and the only
reason her American readers are sorry they
bought it so generously is that she did &c
abroad on the receipts and has staid there
pretty much all the time since. She has
lived for years at Stuttgart, where she edits
magazine, writes books, and being now a
married woman conducts the education OF
several pupils at her home. Miss Howard
has written some verse, not much, how
ever, as she has wisely recognized that her
prose faculty is many times greater than
her metrical power.-New York Times.

A Bright Abilene Boy.

The Salina Republican relates the
following interesting history Of the
good work Of the son OF Charles
Young, Abilene's well known nursery
man, in Wesleyan college in that city
IA young man about twenty years Of
age by the name Of Arthur Young
came to the college last year in May
last, taking commercial course,
short hand, physics and German. Al
the end Of twelve weeks he had com.
pleted the whole course in the com.
mercial department and was able to
write 100 words in short hand, passed
o creditable examination In physics
and German, at the same time doing
janitor work enough to pay his tut
ton. Prof. Roach says the story Of
the young mans attainments seem al
most incredible, and during his
thirty years Of school work he has
never seen the young mans equal for
study. Mr.. Young is now teaching
near Abilene"
Mr.. Young is to be congratulated
on his success. He is one Of Abilene's
brightest young men and will succeed.

How Gen. Grant Was Held Up by Old

the other day by resident OF Wash

how old Bic Oliver, who kept the toll
gate at Washington on the old Wheel
Ing pike, held up Gen. Grant for TOLL"
he said. Bic was annoyed a great
deal by the college boys who drove
over the pike. They worked upon his
credulity, promising to pay toll on
their way back. Many a nickel has
been lost to the old tollkccper, for he
Is kind-hearted fellow, and often in
the face Of better judgment RENTED
the toll until they returned But the
boys, like that letter, never came; they
took another route home, thus GLIDING
old Bite. Upon one Of Grants visits
to Washington, during his administra-
ton, young Mr.. Smith, who was then
in college, took him out one day for
drive. As they came near the toll
gate on the Wheeling pike old Bile
caught sight Of them. He went out to
his house, took hold Of the rope and
pulled the pole down, obstructing the
road. Smith greeted Bic in familiar
way, and said; Look here, Bile, we

have to pay toll or you can't get along

PAssIONIsT FATHERS.
Their New Monastery Opened at
Usage Mission.

Rev. Father Bononcini returned
from Usage Mission where he went to
be present at the dedication and open
ing Of the passionist Fathers monas-
terry. Last Sunday was a red letter
day at the mission. Father Bononcini
had invited the order to that place, his
former charge, which he had vacated
in their favor, on account Of the large
buildings left behind by the Jesuts
when they moved away in 1892. These
buildings were well adapted for Il
religious community; they only need
ed repairs. The Passionist Fathers
have expended nearly $4,000 to
repair and lit them for their purpose
and have built a steam and gas plant
to heat and illuminate all the build
ings, and also the church.
Last Sunday the formal opening
and blessing Of this monastery was
performed by the RI. Rev. Bishop
Fink, assisted by the Very Rev. John
Baptist, Provincial Of the order, and
Father Bononcini, in the presence OF
about n dozen Fathers from their sew
era houses in the United States and
many scholastics.
The spacious church was throngcd
with eager listeners when the Father
Provincial publicly thanked the
Bishop for having so kindly received
them in his diocese, to whom the
Bishop responded in 4 very touching
speech. Due reference was made to
Father Bononcini for the part he had
taken In the transaction from its very
beginning.

Can't Make Them Paw,

Strange it Is that enough orders
can be taken in towns the size Of abb
lene for rugs, clocks, ETC., at exorbit-
ant prices to make 1t profitable for
agents. Yet It is so and many orders
are taken right here in this city for
goods that are sold by our own
merchants Of better quality and for
less money, simply because u glib
tongued stranger offers the goods on
the installmcnt plan with small
payment down. An agent last week
sold 80 clocks this way. These fel-
lows ought to pay an occupation tax
but they cannot be reached because Of
the interstate commerce law and be-
cause they only take orders for goods
The proper proceeding in their case
is for people to refuse to deal with
them. Stand up for your home bust
ness houses every time.
