slight either, on his dying bed he asked that his
remains be buried by the side OF his faithful old

The request granted.
The death OF Uncle Bob recalls an incident In
his life that Is decidedly out of the ordinary. Dur

Bob to go TO the woodward and gather some wood
with which to rekndle the fire. Uncle Bob,

to Mississippi and Joined the Army and for four
long years fought for the cause OF the Confederacy

ONE EFFECT OF BICTCLTNG.
ASSESSMENT ACCIDENT COMPANIES WANT HIGH
Err RATES


How much of a factor the bicycle has become in
the business world is indicated movement
which has started among assessment accident in
surance companies 10 advance the rates all
wheelmen's policies So great has been the increase
in the last few months in the number of bicycle
risks assumed by the various companies that 1t has
been deemed advisable by several of them TO ad-
vance the rates for self-Drotection.
The assessment companies interested in this
movement agtating two propositions. the adop-
ton of either of which would be satisfactory to
them. one plan that has been proposed is an agree
nent to pay two-;hirds OF the benefit of policy to
a bicyclist instead OF the whole amount as at
present. The other proposition is TO increase the
rates fol- wheelmen.
1t Is said by the assessment insurance representa-
tvcs that the existing rates. ranging from 81 to
SIS a year policies paying 5000 In case OF death
and approximate sums for disability too low
for accident policies. and such companies report
that they are losing money under these rates.
A call for a meeting has been discussed. and the
assessment companies that favor a change VIII
take action before long.
As an indication of the rush OF business IN nsur-
circles accompanying the growing popularity
bicycling, several concerns report That they had
three times many applications last month as Tor
April 1895.

dent department OF the Aetna Tor Greater New

Lovers Who Parted in Anger Twenty
Years Ago.
They Accidentally Meet Again and
the Old Love is Revived A
Wedding Ends a Romance in
Which Death Appeared Three
Times.

New York, April 13-The marriage
Of Louis d. Ryno, Of Brooklyn, to Miss
Armenia Stevenson, of Hoboken, is the
climax to a romance which began %
years ago. Miss Stevenson was a mere
girl when Ryno became acquainted
with her in 1874 The young man court
cd her assidUoGsly and completely won
her heart
The couple had little lovers spats"
from time to time, but a gushing letter
or a soft word renewed their friendly
relations. One night 20 years ago, the
pair had a more serious quarrel. They
ceased 10 meet any more, and drifted
apart. Each was as fond of the other
as ever but pride prevented a reconcil-
iatiOn. Ia the course of time Ryno be-
came letter carrier, and he is at pres
ent attached to the Flatbush poStoffice.
He finally married a loveable woman.
Time passed on and two children bless
ed the union.
Miss Stevenson learned of her old
sweetheart's marriage, which she re-
GREETED, but she took the matter philo-
sOphically, declaring that fate had des-
tined her for some one else. Other ad-
mirers came and paid court to the
young woman. Twice in succession
she became engaged to worthy young
men, but both of them died before the
days for which the wedding was fixed.
Miss Stevenson finally came to the
conclusion that she was marked out by
fate 10 journey through life single, but
two years ago RynO's wife died Two
months ago Ryno stood on a street cor
ner waiting for a car. A rather attrac-
tive woman, who was neither young nor
old. came along. Her eyes opened as
il she were surprised; then a smile OF
semi-recCgnitiOn frightened upon her
face With some doubt and trepidation
she walked I'D 10 the letter carrier, and
in a timid manner asked him if he was
Louis Ryno.
Il am he answered.
Il suppose You don't remember me"
the woman said.
RynO said he did not. Then the wo-
man said: Il am your old friend ard
neighbOr. Armenia Stevenson"
Tears Of joy streamed down Ryno's
cheeks as he grasped the hands of his
first love. Ryno accompanied Miss
Stevenson to her Hoboken home Be
fore they separated their old engage
ment was renewed and two weeks later
Miss Stevenson was wearing a solitaire
ring on the third finger of her left hand
and receiving the congratulations of
her friends, who are numerous

was FASTENED at the request of the

After the road agent got the seven of
us out of the stage and in line across
the road he quit cussing and threaten
ing. and seemed to fully enjoy the sit
uation. Among our number was a
young man who was going down to
Custer City TO open a law office The
agent asked each man his occupation
and each answered as he pleased. The
young man felt the dignity of his pro-
fessiOn, and when asked what he did
for living. he replied:
Il am a lawyer, sir, and I warn you
that sooner or later you will be
brought to the bar Of Justice and con-
yicted OF your crimes
Lawyer. eh?' Queried the rObber
"Well. now. We'll have some fun. Wen
suppose I'm a prisoner and these six
men will act as a jury. You are the
lawyer who is prosecuting the case. and
now let's hear what you have to say"
Under the circumstances. | shall beg
to refuse" said the young man.
Then under the circumstances. I
get up on that rock and talk TO the jury
or YOU won't never do no law business
in this country"
IT'S bad enough to be robbed" pro-
tested the young man. but to be in
suited and degraded is more"
Cit up thar yelled the robber.
The young man got up. He removed
his hat. cleared his throat and began
a speech TO the jury. His soul wasn't
in 1t, as a matter Of course, but he was
Mt an orator anyhow. He stumbled
and suffered and made a very lame ar
gument. and at the end Of ten minutes
closed the case.
And now the jury will return their
verdict" said the robber. 'YOu haven't
heard the other side. but we'll suppose
it's about the same"
We returned a verdict of Not gull
ty' without leaving our seats. and the
agent said 10 us as a body:
Gentlemen. business is business. I'll
allow each Of you 50 jury feees, but you
must hand over the balance"
We We're a poor crowd and he only
got about 500 over and above fees :"
When through with the Jury" he said
TO the lawyer:
Il want every blamed cent YOU have
with your hat and shoes to boot Yon
are such poor one-horse lawyer that
my object is to discourage YOU from
going any further in that line. Shell
OUT
The young man shelled. He shed
tears Of rage as he did so. and the rob
her took his coat. He Indignantly pro-
tested. and the result was that he con-
tinued the journey with 4 horse blanket
wrapped around him. He had PANIED
out $3.50 and a good suit of clothes. and
as we drove off the rcbber called after
him:
ANY time you make up your mind
to go ranching. prospecting. ro5bing. or
something at which YOU can make a
success I'll return you everything I've
taken. but I'll be hanged if I'm going
TO encourage any such empty-headed
cuSs as YOU 10 go down TO Custer City
