Association for the Development of Rich

interests OF the city Or the business OF the
country stores and places of business In
the smaller cities and towns. A prominent
gentleman from Farmville, one Of the ex-
curslonists. said to a Dispatch man. that
he did not think the excursions from that
place would affect the trade Of his city
at all They would in a measure educate
the people OF that vicinity by bringing
some of them out who would not come
out uhder other circumstances, and would
infuse new life into trade all around
They would also catch some of the spe-
cial purchases which now are made In
the cities OF Baltimore. Philadelphia, and
New York

HE CALLED ON MRS. RUSSELL

notes, they spell according to their own
original methods. ! once took a sweet
sixteen girl solely because she wasa good
speller, but she was not a good stenog-
rapher, and so 1 gave her up. Whenever
I gave her my manuscript she repro
duced it on the machine without an err
ror. 1 am little precise in my dicta-
ton, and she could follow me without
difficulty, though she was clearly not
an expert. All she wanted, she assured
me, was practice. thought, now here
is little jewel; Ill mold her to my
work. Well, sir, that girl was the most
literal, matter-of-fact child ever saw.
She took the most apparent jokes in
earnest. She took every word written
or uttered in earnest, too, and in copy
ing would reproduce even bad spelling
with the most startling accuracy"
Thus they talked about typewriters
until their cigars had gone up in smoke,
and then John Doe turned his attention
to business, while Richard Roe went to
his Office and-thought about Miss Rus
sell. 1t was a clear case of love at first
sight, so far as Dick Roe was con-
cerned; but Miss Russell seemed to be
too busy 20 love or be loved. Her head
and hanES were full of business; and
her heart was full of love for her
r-aathe-.

Richard Roe became greatly interest
ed in his friend, John Doe. He man
aged to meet him at luncheon every
day. He walked to Does office with
him, spoke to Miss Russell, of course.
and finally entered into conversation
with her. In an almost incredibly
short time he secured her consent to
call and become acquainted with her
mother" On the third Sunday evening
he accompanied Mrs. Russell and Miss
Russell to church. On the following
Tuesday they went to the opera with
him. On the following Thursday after
noon he called on Mrs. Russell and in
formed her that he was hopelessly in
love with her daughter, and obtained
her consent TO lay the case before Miss
Russell herself. On the following Sun
day afternoon, while out driving, he
told her his story of passion and love
in an eloquent manner. What do you
think that typewriter girl did? She
laid her hand upon his and sweetly
said:
Il am not surprised at all. l knew it
from the moment laid my eyes upon
you. 1 could see by your expression
that you were pleased with me, and 1
felt by the humping of my own heart
that if you ever asked me to marry you
l must say yes without coquetting or
delay"
Thus it happened that John Doe lost
his perfect typewriter and Richard Roe
found q perfect wife. If John Doe ever
finds another perfect typewriter, he
will not give introductions to his I'M
married friends. SMITH d. FRY.

George L. Wellington Elected Senator by
the Maryland Legislature.

George L. Wellington, who has just
been elected TO succeed Senator Glib
son in the United States senate, is
known throughout Maryland as one of
the most eloquent orators of any party.
He was born in Cumberland in 1852,
and from the age of 10 has had to rely
upon his own resources. He first found
employment in Chesapeake and Ohio
canal store. When IS years old he Sc
cured position in the Second national
bank of Cumberland. This proved to
be stepping stone TO his success, for
he rose steadily until he became paying
teller, the position which he resigned
in 1882 when appointed to position
in the United States subtreaSury. Sub
