HOW BETTY WON A LOVER.

John Kennedy had done a dreadful
thing in his mothers estimation. He
had quietly and deliberately taken
unto himself Il wife without consult
ing her or even conf;ling to her any
thing about it, and had brought her
home expecting IL cordial welcome for
himself and Il girl nobody had ever
seen before. Well, perhaps they had
seen her. as she had been born and
raised in Grandville, fifty miles away,
but at any rate she was IL stranger.
She Was altogether Il very objection
able sort of person, for she was slight
and delicate in appearance, the very
sort of woman that is always COM

Mrs. Kennedy with her own eyes seen
in that barn of n trunk of hers whole
piles of dainty underwear, half Il
dozen new dresses, three bonnets run
ming over with daisies, roses and Glow

all. four pairs of boots and shoes, and
these of the finest kid, too, like a
baby's.
Why, | never in my life had more
than two pairs, one for everyday wear
and one for Sundays. And the only
excuse John can make for slipping Off

4 HENS COSTLY NEST
The rival to the goose that laid the
golden eggs has been found 1t is a
hen-and a townbird to boot-for
it roosts in a little backyard in the
Belleville quarter. One morning
when the mistress of the fowl-run
paid her matutinal visit to the nests,
she came across, to her amazement, q
bundle of papers under one staid old
hen. She could scarcely believe her
eyes at this strange find, especially
when on examination, it was found to
contain securities valued at 81 900.
Inc men TOO, seemed equally perpleXed,
and blinked stupidity at the metamor-
phosis. The bird felt sure it had laid
eggs, and yet the papers disputed the
fact.
The lady who found the fortune
said not a word to her friends, but
quietly converted the bonds into
ready money and changed her mode
of life considerably. But this sudden
show of wealth aroused the suspicious
and jealousy of the neighbors who
had not been visited by "a windfall of
unexpected riches. Rumors spread
and the police were called upon to in
vestigate the matter. Then the story
came out, and romantic fabric,
which had smacked of an oriental fa-
bic crumbled away to vulgar robbery.
The securities had been stolen about
eight years ago by some individual,
who had passed them on to a third
person. This latter, unable to get rid
of them in profitable manner, had
popped them under hen one night.
The owner of the innocent bird,
together with several other persons
connected with the case, has been
taken into custody.

They had grown up to think as she
thought, to believe as she believed,
for, from early childhood, she had been
father and mother both, and with a
really fine head for business had man
aged the property her husband had
left to be shared equally between
them. Not even when John came of
age had she offered to relinquish the
reins of government and seeing that it
pleased her to hold them the young
man had resigned all thought of as
suming them. And the girls, too, rose
at her command, performed such du-
| ties as she gave them and retired
when she ordered ii.
1t was because she had always re-
ceived such unquestioning obedience
| that her surprise and displeasure at
Johns daring to act for himself were
so great and lasting. Amanda and
Jane wondered with shocked and hor-
rified hearts at such a desperate deed;
| but, like women will, all three could
| find many excuses for the man. but
| none for the woman who had enticed
him into error. Upon poor Mrs. John
| fell the weight of blame and they made
| her conscious that it did.
They don't like me, john" the
poor little bride said to her liege lord,
when the first evening at home had
| come to an end. She was folding up
with careful hands the pretty bow of
ribbon she had worn, and her face
was very wistful and homesick.

ST. LOUIS AGAIN LOOKS UP.

Its Terrible Disaster.
Affairs In the storm-ridden district
of the two cities are taking on q more
cheerful aspect. The first rush for re-
lief is over and there is evidence
cfgeneral improvement in the condition
OF the storm sufferers at the district re-
lief stations. 4
There is noticeable decrease in the
number of applicants for aid and it il:
the expressed belief that the stations in
st. Louis will be closed soon. With
the abandonment of the district sta
tions, however, the relief work will be-
far from finished. Whatever remains
OF the general fund will be left in the
keeping of the merchants exchange
committee, which will continue the
work wherever necessary.
The relief fund continues to grow un-
til it has reached S1s3,5s1. In all parts
OF the tornado district houses are being
made habitable once more and de-
molished buildings are being rapidly res
built.
In East st. Louis the work on restora-
tlon goes on steadily and there is no
abatement of the relief committees
work. Many people who are COM
PEELED to live in tents until their demoi-
ished homes ore repaired are becoming
accustomed to their new environments.
In some places tenants live in box cars.

The spectacle of 80 naked BOYS flying

most unusual the other day.
For some time complaints have been
filed with the chief of police that.boys
were in the habit of bathing at certain
spot in White Clay creek in full view of
those who live in the adjacent dwell
ings. An officer was detailed to abate
the nuisance. Going to the swimming
place he discovered go boys in the water.
They made dash for liberty, leaving
their clothes behind them. The boys
scattered in every direction and went
flying up and down the streets and
through the yards-anywhere to escape
the policeman.
The ladies of the community who
were on the porches or the lawns also
scattered. The officer caught one boy,
but he was wet and slippery and slipped
out OF the arms of the representative of
the law. Unfortunately, the boy ran
into barbed wire fence few moments
later and received painful enshes.

Creamery Burned.

Saturday, about three o'clock fire
was discovered issuing from the roof
of the creamery of w. II. Owen, in the
west part of the city, and in less than
an hour thereafter it was in ashes.
with but little saved. Tne fire when
discovered was near the cupola. Ii
not only destroyed the creamery build
ing but beside burned the ice house.

ing over the ice on Sunday to protect
and preserve it for use. The loss over
and above insurance is about $4,000,
about $3.50 worth of butter being de-
Slroyed.
The loss to the farmers will be
greater in the aggregate, in a short
time than the loss to Mr.. Owen. They
are without facilities for using their
cream or milk and to them it means
nearly the loss Of the use of their cows,
as during the season for putting up
their hay they will not be able TO pro
vide for its manufacture into either
butter or cheese. We understand that
what of milk can be used at the cheese
factory will be turned in there and
that of the western portion of the
route perhaps will be sent to Chester
and the other creameries most con-
venicnt to the various routes. Not to
do so means to throw out Of employ
lnent all the persons engaged in gath
ering cream, the cooperS making tubs
and the butter, makers. We understand
that Mr.. Owen is contemplating re-
building as Immediately as possible.
But, if this is true, it will be some
weeks before the necessary machinery
can be procured and put in place. We
hope the report OF an intention to i'm
mcdiately rebuild is true.

TALKS THOUGH roNeuELEss,
curious Case of u Physician Who Defles
the Law of Scicnce. /,


the Law of Science. /,
A remarkable case OF special interest
to the medical world exists at Brad
ford, Pa., says the Philadelphia Ledger.
The case is that of DR.. A. NJ. Williams,
who, although he recently had his
tongue removed. is able to talk. He is
unable to tell the nature of his disease,
which, he says, was undoubtedly malig-
nant. 1t Is sort of cancerous growth,
and in order to save his life he went to
Buffalo, N. Y, and entered hospital,
where he had his entire tongue, left
tonsil, left submaSillary and sublingual
glands and some cervical Emphatic
glands removed.
With these gone, according to general
belief. speech would be impossible. Yet
DR.. Williams can speak, and speak quite
well. He began to study out the sub
ject of speech and discovered that per-
sons We're fright" and left in the use
OF the organs of their mouth and
throat, just as they are right and
cleft" IN the use of their hands.
In this case he was left in the use of
his mouth and throat muscles, cir
cumstance that made his condition still
more desperate, because some of the or
gans of the left side had been removed
with the tongue. He is inclined to the
theory that, while the preferred use Of
the right instead of the left hand is gen
orally n case of education or choice. the
involuntary discrimination that leads
one to use a set of mouth or throat mus
cles or refrain from using both sets is,
In most cases, the result of heredity
@ Examination of the peculiarities in
their pronunciation of certain letters,
wherein DR.. Williams and several of his
descendants agreed, butwere at variance
with most other people, and which PEE
culiarities were in no wise due to de-
fects of vocal organs, led him to form
the conclusion above stated.
He has finally succeeded in being able
to talk. In conversation he never re-
sorts to the pencil. He has been out of
the hospital five weeks, and can speak
50 as to be fairly well understood. The
doctor is confident that within. a short
time his speech will greatly improve.

Arie owns saloon in that town, oper-

saloons within 300 feet of any church or

Methodist Episcopal church has been
eommencedwithin 800 feet of the saloon,
and Arie claims that either the saloon or
church must be outside that limit. AS
the saloon was there first, the claim is
made that the same law that prescribes
the rule for the saloon operates as bar
to church being erected within saloon
territory, and threatens injunction pro-
ceedings. The courts will settle the
matter In somo shape, either through
the proposed injunction or proceedings
to close the saloon after the church is
