He-Why, it was one of the best things

After Twenty Years.

He was asking the old man for his
daughter in marriage. He was talking
tremblingly, he~sitatingly, as you read Of
in story books, and the scene was full of
color, SO far as an irate father and nerve
less young man could make 1t.
1t came the old mans turn to speak,
and as he began his face was white with
passion, and HIS voice shook with excite
ment. "You to marry my daugh-
teri" he said. All, now is the time for
my revenge! Twenty years ago your ia
thcr crippled me in a stock deal, and /
swore to be %revenged! And now my time
has come"
He paused for breath, and the aspirant
for the maiden's hand was about to peat n
hasty retreat In the face of supposed de-
feat when the father broke forth again:
Yes, sir, l swore to be revenged, and
III now strike the father through the sou.
Want my daughter, eh? Well, take her,
and may she prove as expensive to you as
she has to me-"
The old man dropped into his chair,
worn out with the excitement of his plot,
and the young man tainted Springfield

hat Empty Barrel.

Il got my furniture out of storage tho
other day." said a New Yorker, land my
wife and l thought we would unpack the
china and bric-a- brac ourselves, instead OF
paying 80 cents ar hour to the storage
men to do 1t. The stuff was packed in
five barrels, one OF which we noticed was
lighter han the rest.
when we began to unpack that one, we
concluded that it must contain our most
fragile articles of vertu, for we first came
across a layer of excelsior and soft paper,
q foot In thickness. Below this was an
other layer, equally thick, and when we
had half unpacked the barrel and found
nothing but excelsior and soft paper we
knew not what to think.
I'VE were still more 1abbergasted on
finding no china on removing the packing.
We, OF course, concluded that our things
had been stolen and reproached ourselves
for our false economy in doing the unpack-
Ing ourselves, for it is a rule of the storage
concern we patronized not to pay for any
articles broken or missing unless its men
do the unpacking.
LAS we missed nothing when the other
barrels had been unpacked, my wife cudg-
eled Her brains to explain the mystery.
She finally remembered that when we gave
up housekeeping, ~ years ago, there was
a lot of excelsior left over when the china
had been packed. In a fit of economy she
poked 1t all in a superfiuous barrel, which
was duly headed up and carted to the no.
tel where we spent the winter 1t was
stored in the garrett without being I'M
packed and last spring was sent to the
storage warehouse.
1--WE accordingly have paid not only
for the storage for nine months of an
empty barrel, but for it's carriage on three
different occasions-from the house to the
hotel, from the hotel to the storage ware
house and from the warehouse to where
we now live!'-New York Sun.

Bills as follows were ordered paid:

Report of the secretary of the fire de-
partment showing newly elected officers
was read and ordered filed. Election of
Crawford as chief and of E~llenberger as
assistant chief on motion was duly con.
frmed.
Crawford, chairman of council COM
mittee on fire and water rendered a re-
port which appears on our front page,
and is full Of suggestion. 1t was order
ed filed.
This report offered substance for a
lively discussion, which was all onesidcd.
Healey stated that he visited the reser.
voir of the Neihart water company at I
o'clock a. m, March 3, and that he found
there was not sufficient water in the res
ervoir for any extra demand. and he
urged at some length that the council
take action to have the trouble %invcsti-
gated.
Kyle stated that he also visited the
reservoir on the morning named, finding
it practically empty, there being not
enough water on hand to insure protec-
ton against fire. He reported that the
reservoir is almost full of ice, and insist
ed upon the council taking immediate
steps to remedy the trouble.
Ladd, Graham and Roehl each took a
hand in the discussion agreeing exactly
and emphatically with the above.
Crawford explained at some length the
careful name in which he had made
tests of the mains and hydranis. He al
so dwelt upon the fact that the failure of
water supply at this particular season is
a very serious matter in its relation to
property interests.
Kyle moved that the council meet as Il
whole at Wilson's livery stable, Monday
morning, March II, at 6 o'clock, for the
purpose of visiting the reservoir and that
the superintendent OF the electric hight
plant be requested to run the machines
on said morning until the hour of 7 on
that morning. The motion prevailed.
Mayor Shaw appointed j. j. Schwcrdt
as registry agent, which action was duly
confirmed. The judges and clerks to
serve at the coming election were named
and confirmed as follows:
First ward: Judges, Chas. McCibbon,
VIM. Tierney, w. H.. Metcalfe; clerks.

that there is large amount outstand-

the necessity of calling attention to it
is forced upon us. The times are hard,
and for that reason we have been just
as lenient as possible, but expenses
are heavy, and when money does not
come in fast enough to pay them, we
must ask for what is due. All sub

Husbands want to be very careful
how their wives talk, since a Min
nesota judge has recently decided that
husband is responsible for the Sian
ders his wife utters. That judge is
evidently under the conviction that in
marriage there are "two minds with
but single thought and two hearts
that beat as one." However, we have
known cases outside of Minnesota
where that kind Of poetry will not
stand the test of experience.

And now, March 9th, 1895, the ex-
ceptions to the confirmation of the
report of the Grand Jury are dismiss
ed and their report certifying that it
is expedient that the village of Benton
would be Incorporated into a Borough
by the name, style and title of the
Borough of Benton is confirmed. And

named persons and clerks to be ap-
pointed by them according to law:
ID. E. keeler, Judge; F. K. Seely

the place for the holding of the said
Township general and special election
at the Public House of J. B. Nc
