the following amusing incident that
happened few Sabbaths ago Ill we'll
known church, and caused no little mer-
riment among the teachers. The super
intendent was telling the wee small
folks of the custom in certain countries
of claiming the prisoners hands and
feet together and" she asked, don t
you suppose that if some one came and
released them they would be very happy
and GRATEFUL"
1t was unanimously agreed that they
would.

Her Ideal Shattered.

Miss Clara Louise Kellogg tells the
following story of her introduction to
one of the British aristocracy. She was
very young at the time of her first trip
abroad. A gentleman who felt an inter
est in the talented young American took
her to call on the dowager Duchess OF
Somerset. Miss Kellogg says that she
had never before seen duchess, and
that she fully expected the lady to come
into the room attired in velvet and er-
mine and wearing a coronet on her
head. She was quite bereft of speech
when very ordinary looking person,
wearing a black bombazine gown and
prunella shoes, appeared on the scene
The gentleman who had brought Miss
kellogg told the duchess that she would
be glad to sing for her, to which her
grace responded:
"But | have no piano.
This was the finishing touch to the
Young singers childish ideals regarding
persons of high degree. A duchess who
wore prunella shoes and did not own
piano!
Later a musicale was given by hen
grace at which Miss kellogg sang-t(
the accompaniment of hired piano
choosing for one of her songs an ar
rangement of Tennyson's clears, Idl'
Tears" The verses were quite new t.
the duchess, who had heard OF Tenny
son, but had never read anything tina
he had written. " The next day the gen
tleman who had introduced Miss KEEL
logg, and who by the way, was al
American, bought a copy of the poem
and sent it to her grace.

IN THE SMOKING CAR.
Thp New Young Woman Seemed to Know

This New Young Woman Seemed to Know
Where She Belonged.
A woman, perfectly dressed, entered
the smoking car of suburban tram
bound for New York the other morning.
The man who saw her supposed that she
intended to pass through. Half way
down the aisle, however, she dropped
into seat. The gentleman who occu-
pied the seat behind her leaned forward
and touched her on the shoulder.
81 beg your pardon" he said, "but
this is the smoking Car.
"Thank you, she replied. Il thought
SO.
Then calmly she produced. a dainty
cigarette case, distracted a cigarette and
q wax match, and in moment more
was smoking with all the calm enjoy
ment of a man. There was a f1utter OF
amusement through the car-smiles,
grins. soto voce remarks and curious
chances in her direction-but she seemed
SO serenely self possessed that she was
soon forgotten for the morning papers.
When the conductor came through, he
was almost overcome.
Madam, said he, "this is no place
for ladies. "
"Indeed % she replied. "Is not this
the smoking carr"
eyes, ma am. "
"Well, am smoking-that is why
am here. :"
Nevertheless, madam, must re
quest you to 90 into another Car. "
ga request with which must retus
to comply, and which l do not think /
would be policy for you to attempt t.
enforce she returned calmly, and sh
settled back in the seat with an air
such offended dignity and positivenes
that the conductor, after thinking YER
hard for a moment, sighed and passed on
The woman did not wear bloome1
and was not mannish in any particular
She seemed as refined as woman coul
be. New York Journal.

Pres. OF sheriff's Convention.

A report has originated, and
the circulation commenced of a
story by a friend of Judge G.
C. Blakeley that when he as
sumed the Office of county judge of
Wasco county he found the county
$4,000 in debt, and that he has
reduced this amount to such an ex-
tent that should he be reelected, in
another year he will wipe out the
debt entirely. 1t is needless to say
that this silly fable will not be cir
culated among that class of men who
! read THE CHRONICLE, or any other
publication. 1t is meant for the ig-
norant and uninformed, and the man
who started it says the story will be
circulated widely the coming week.
Any reader of The CHRONICLE
knows that the county debt is a few
hundred dollars greater than when
Mr.. Blakeley assumed the office.
But this story will have its effect.
There are those in every community
who cannot, or do not, read. and
they will believe it, and believing it,
will vote for BIakeley.

President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio,

section. He has lived in Clinton Co.
IS years, and has been president Of
the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly

attention. All brain workers find
Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted
to their needs. It makes pure, rich,
red blood, and from this comes nerve,
mental, bodily and digestive strength.

rilla is a very good medicine, especially
as a blood purifier. It has done me good
many times. For several years I suffered
