TWO WEDDINGS.

musical laugh of his wife in the parlor
as he sat in the library, he laid aside
his book, tos1ed his cigar from the win
dow and went to THE scene of merri-
ment. Though they had two little tots
that precluded the possibility of gloom
mess in the household, the father wac,
as much lover as in the days of court
ship and would have been irresistibly
attracted by that laugh even though his
business in hand had been much more
serious.
'What is it now, little one ?" he asked,
with sympathetic smile, as he entered.
The diminutive title did not at all fit
the glowing and happy young matron
to whom it was applied, for she was tall,
graceful and possessed of that rare
beauty which is found in expression
rather than in an analysis of features.
Her feelings flashed upon her face with
distinctness that was not to be mis-
taken by those who knew her we'll.
was just going to tell Miss Archley
about the time your father interviewed
NE, brood, and you know that a laugh
is always my prelude to a story. In
itself and in the sequel it will never
cease to be funny to me-"
''Go ahead. I'm going to stretch my-
self in this easy chair and hear it all
over again."
There is only one Of the characters
to be introduced to you, Kate" she
began, addressing the visitor, and you
will soon know him. Up to about the
time brood and / were married his
father was perfect ogre. That's what
he WAS, brood, a perfect ogre. We two
foolish young people became engaged
without consulting his austere majesty.
He lived in a splendid mansion just
outside the town, set well back froul
the road in grove of oaks and naples.
Its location was typical of his exclusive
ness. brood was back from college. and
had been admitted to the bar before he
asked me to become his wife. He is
gifted with eloquerce, you know, and
have no doubt would have made con-
vincing argument in my behalf, but
after he had stated that was o music
teacher without means the father would
hear no more. He threw the case right
out of court. brood must choose be-
tween me and his prospective inherit
ance. OF course, the dear fellow never
hesitated.
"But brood is an only son, and such
a son as it is hard for even the sternest
father to cast out. So he came to the
little cottage where lived with my aunt
to. frighten me out of the field"
Misguided man." laughed Miss Arch
ley.
: IT would have warned him had l
known" chuckled the husband.
Father Harris is large, imposing,
grim-looking man with piercing eyes
and uiasterful way. He came without
a doubt as to the inerrancy of his judg-
ment and without any apparent con-
ception Of the fact that there were
others even more vitality interested than
himself. When seated he went straight
to the subject. We had been talking
for ten minutes when auntie came in.
and could see that she had not come TO
wave the olive branch. Her fighting
qualities never showed at such ad-
vantage - when exerted for my de-
fense.

Bismarck, n. D., July 20. = A relig-
ious controversy has arisen among
two hundred families of Russian set
tiers who were recently located III
Mercer county by the Northern Pa
citic road. There are three denomina-
tons among the settlers-Greek, 10
man Catholic and Protestants. me
latter, desiring to rid themselves or
the presence of the Cathollcs, told
the m that it was the object of the i'm
migration association to settle them
near the Protestants in order that the
Catholics might be converted to the
Protestant faith. The Catholics took
alarm and demanded to be settled IN
some other locality, and will be moved
across the river to Mclean county.
The new settlers are putting up houses
and settling on land preparatory to
putting in late crops.

This announcement had been made
INFORMALLY to the Democratic mem
bers of the conference at noon. and
had formed the subject of general
speculation about the senate during
the afternoon Saturday. 1t appeared
after the informal statement was
mace that there was still much to be
done IN the way Of putting the bill in
shape, and the conferees spent six
hours in close application to the work
In hand. They were for the most
part merely running over the BILL but
there were still some rates to be
agreed upon on articles which had
been passed over until the sugar
schedule should be finally disposed Of
The revision was not even completed
during the afternoon session, and
some of the members returned to re-
new the work at night.
The members of the conference pre-
serve the stricteSt silence and give out
no official confirmation as to the
changes made in the bill. 1t is
learned, however, from an entirely re-
liable source that a very large ma
jOrity of the senate amendments were
accepted. This was rendered neces-
sary by several circumstances. A
number of amendments made by the
senate were verbal, others were
trivial, and still others were made
necessary to secure harmony of con-
struction, and would have been natur-
al in bill under cor sideration as
long as the senate had this. All these
changes were accepted without oppo-
sition by the house cOnferees They
also accepted, almost without excep-
ton, all changes made in the senate
in order to secure the passage of the
bill in that body.
