A Matrimonial Campaign.
by HELEN FORREST GRAVES.

The old village clock was striking
eight in its mufiled, asthmatic way,
when Mr.. Blidgefeld came up the
garden path with paper Of moist,
brown sugar under one arm, and half
a pound Of paraf1ine candles under the
other.
On each side Of him rose up plump
heads of cabbages, and blue-green
swamps of onions. A thrifty hop
vine was waving its tassels against the
porch pillars, and a bed of parsley
was growing rankly by the gate. For
Mr.. Bidgefeld was a firm believer in
the beauty of utility.
In the days of his deceased wife
there had been faint attempt at
morning-glory vines, clove-pinks and
Johnny-jumpers around the house,
but Mr.. Blidgefeld soon settled that
matter.
"Fudgel" he had ruthlessly cried.
''They amt good to neither stew for
eough-mixtures, nor to boil up for
greens. Looks? What do 1 care for
looks? Amt a squash bloom every
bit as pretty as a marigold, I'd like to
know? Ny daughter must be brought
up not to care for empty showl"
And SO all the wild, fantastic beauty
of nature had been narrowed down
into vegetable borders aud potato
patches, and the souls of the Blidge-
field children had been narrowed &C
cordingly.
Money money money! That was
the god of Mr.. Blidgefelds idolatry.
He went to church on Sunday, and
sat out the service in his hard and
cushionless pew, but to him all that
the choir sang and the preacher
preached was-money!
He attended the prayer meetings
punctually, for he was member of
the church, but he never put more
than copper penny in the plate.
''If every man takes care of number
one" he said, with hard compress
sion of his ignum-vit@ lips, "the
whole world will be took care OIL"
He rose up early to economic the
sunshine, and lay down late for fear
of wasting time. He kept whole al
manac full of proverbs on the tip Of
his tongue, and denounced "shiftless-
hess as if it were one Of the seven
cardinal sins. Dancing was an instru-
ment of the Evil One; novel reading
was the opening wedge to Dante'a
Purgatorio. Anything in the shape
of innocent recreation was q direct fly
ing in tho face of Providence. And
the Blidgefeld children grew up gaunt,
careworn and prematur ely old under
the system Of training.
Mr. Blidgefeld's first wife had
dropped quietly and obscurely into
her grave before anyone fairly com,
pretended that she was not in high
health. Hard work and relentless
taskmaster had fairly worried her out
Of the world. Aud all the neighbor.

ward, Nancy Bloom married the wild
over.
Nancy was the village school-teach
era bright eyed, buxom young
woman Of twenty-eight or thirty
She had taken fancy to the littl
Blidgefelds, and she was tired o
teaching, and wanted home.

with impotent rage. Mrs. Blidgeheld
smiled superior.

tie child, "don't be a fooll You

"Welll" shouted Mr.. Blidgefeld,
still Juggling at his oravat folds. "Well,
madam, and what then?"
"Why, then, said Nancy oompos-
edly, "you eau 60 about your BUSH
ness.
Mr.. Blidgofeld remained to contest
the matter no longer. He strobe out
of the house, banging the door be-
hind him, by way Of parting benedic-
| ton.
"rll consult lawyer" said he. 81
never, never was so treated before in
the whole course of my lifel"
He consulted a lawyer, but the YER
dict was not favorable to his side of
the matter. He remained outside the
fortress for week, vainly hoping that
Mrs. Blidgefsld and the garrison
would capiiulate.
But they didn't. And then he
lowered his own colors Nancy had
been too much for him.
But she never twitted him with his
lack of success. She only smiled a
gracious welcome.
"And I must confess, he afterward
added, "that never was SO comfort
able afore as Nancy makes me.
The children-poor souls said the
same thing. Their stepmother had
brought a new sunshine in the dreary
old farmhouse. She had even civil
lied their father, in some degree.
And the neighbors all wonder ed
how it was that Nancy Bloom got
along SO nicely with that old crab of 0
husband of hers. Saturday Night.

An Atchison woman is writing a love
story in which the cathode ray plays a
prominent part. The heroine turns
the cathode ray on a yonng mans
pocketbook and finds it full, and his
heart empty. She at once makes adj
vances, and the young man follows
her lead. He takes trick after trick
by his skilful plays in the game and
is about to ask for her hand, when a
friend suggests that the girl has an
other lover on the string. He turns
the cathode rays on her heart and
finds that he occupies a very small
space in it. Discouraged, he commits
suicide. Atchison, (Kan.,) Globe.

WILL 1T BE FRISCO?
The Knights AppIauded When the Name of

Cleveland, o., Aug. 2S.-The supreme

fore taking action. Representative
Crowley introduced resolution to hold
the next biennial conclave at San Fran
cisco. The name was received with APP
plause and referred to the committee of
three having the matter in charge.
While San Francisco Is the favorite city
thus far, there is a feeling that the SUI

incidental to holding the conelave so far

oils seems to have the call among the
members outside of the committee.

EDITOR BULLETIN: 1t was dis
gustingly amusing to watch the
Senate snarling and swapping like
a set Of hungry CANNES after the
petty meannesses Of the License
Bill. The same tactics still follow
in the House. The lawyers, doc
tors, dentists are allowed to slip
through and the poor little devils
are held fast. Comparisons are
odious, but I'll give you story.
There are degrees in every thing
even in vice and crime. Among
burglars, craftsmen, ETC., there is
one class at the bottom named
"Kinchin Grabbers;" their lay Is
to Turk about and pick up chill
dren going out on errands from
home for groceries, bread, meat,
etc, usually with a quarter or a
half dollar in the grubby little
hand. The work is easy and safe;
rough oath, a startled cry, the
child is roL5cd and the thief hap
by. Two of the kind, for like cow
ards they always work in pairs and
misery likes company,were watch
ing their chance on wet and
gloomy night in Frisco when a
reasonable sized man came along
with watch chain showing, but he
passed on unmolested. A little
girl with big basket followed.
Quick as a flash the sneak thief
had her and wrenching the quar-
ter from her trembling grasp, he
scooted. Say Gully" said his
pal, "why didn't you collar the

Insulted over tho Wire.

A telegraph operator OH one of the
morning papers recently told me good
story of how he got rid Of too frequent
visitor, whose nightly calls during bust
ness hours had come to be nuisance.
The intruder was also an operator, but
was temporarily out Of job. One even-
ing he came in as usual and planted
himself in a chair. Receiving no an
swers to his questions, he lapsed into
silence and listened to the steady click
OF the instrument. Suddenly look Of
disgust crossed his face. He arose, glared
at the operator, who kept on writing,
turned on his heel and walked out. This
happened a week ago, and he has not
called since. What was the cause of his
sudden departure? That is easily an
swered. IN response to previous re-
quest, the operator at the other end Of
the line sent this message, Is that idiot
