Carving Out Instructions.

There was a young man whose social
education had been somewhat neglect
ed, and it chanced that he received an
invitation to a church wedding.
The morning of the ceremony found
him quite excited, and he started for
the church some time before, as he
would have said, "the show was billed
to come off"
Under his arm he carried a small
bundle, and before he had proceeded
far he met a friend.
"Hello!" said the friend, land where
are you going all dressed up at this
time in the morning."
Wedding" answered the young man,
briefly and proudly.
Indeed? Going to do some errands
on the way?"
Certainly not"
but you are not going to a wedding
with a bundle under your arm?"
"Of course l am. That's my pres
emit"
Present! But you don't take your
present with you, man. You send it
beforehand"
That's all you know about it. I've
got a card right here in my pocket, and
the card says. Present at the church. I"

She Wns prppared.

A certain minister always felt 1t to
be his duty to give each young couple a
little serious advice before he per-
formed the marriage ceremony, and for
this purpose he usually took them aside,
one at a time and talked very soberly
to each of them regarding the great i'm
portance of the step they were to take,
and the new responsibilities they were
to assume. One day he talked in his
most earnest manner for several min
utes to a young woman, who had come
to be married to a bright-looking young
man.
"And now" he said in closing, "I
hope you will fully realize the extreme
importance of the step you are taking,
and that you are prepared for it."
Prepared" she said, | nnocently,
"Well If I amt prepared | don't know
who is. I've got four common quilts,
and two nice ones, and four brand new
feather beds, ten sheets and IL pairs of
pillow slips, four all-linen table cloths,
dozen spoons and a good siX-quart
tea Kettle. If / amt prepared no girl
i'm this country ever was."-Dundee

" hat He Did.

One of the leading banking firms in
Paris, on the recommendation of a
London correspondent, engaged an
English clerk Of the name of S..

tuality was altogether unprecedented.

the whole time he never asked for a
holiday.
One fine morning. however to the
great sunrise of his superior, S.

Next day at l. he left the office 1t
was observed that a carriage stood
waiting for him at the door. At |
o'clock he drove up again in the same
carriage, and resumed his calcula-
tions, as cool and self-possessed as if
nothing had happened.
This short absence puzzled the brains
of all the employees in the bank. The
principal himself, eager to obtain the
solution Of the enigma, invited his
paragon of clerks to dinner. Between
two glasses of claret the banker said:
You will not think me indiscreet if

piled for last Tuesday,"

THE PRESIDENTS ANCESTORS.
Some of McKinIey's Progenitors
Were Natives of York County.

Some of President McKinley's an
cestorS We're Pennsylvanians, accord
ing to the York correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun. The president was in
vited to visit the fair now being held
at York, but pressing business engage
mentS prevented his attending, though
he expressed a desire to be present,
especially as some of his ancestors
We're natives of York county. He
promised, however, that he would visit
York at some future time. In l743
David Mckinley, an ancestor of the
president, entered the latitude of Low
er Hallam and selected for his home
stead 3l6 acres on the very highest
land in all that wilderness, the summit
of which oVerlookS Chanceford and
Lower Chanceford townships, with
their grand succession of ridges lying
east and west, jutting on the deep
grooved Susquehanna Valley. David
Mckinley was a weaver. Like all who
came with him to the Barrens of York
county, he had to struggle courage
ously against the stern opposition of
natural disadvantage. The sictle was
his champion reaper, and the fail his
steam thresher and the palms of his
hands his patent corn shelter. He was
a man of energy and public spirit, and
the necessity for big roads" at once
claimed his attention. Even before the
organization Of York county he was
engaged in this important movement.
lie died in the year 1860. John Nc
Kinley, was the great grandfather Of
President Mckinley. He was WELL
known throughout the lower end of
York county. He was also a weaver,
and to this he added blacksmithing
and distilling. He made frequent eX-
cursions to Baltimore, Lancaster and
York. John Mckinley died in 1879,
leaving one son, David Mckinley. Da-
vd was born on the ancestral home
stead, on otter Creek, Chanceford
township, York county. James Nc
Kinley, grandfather Of the president,
was a son of John Mckinley. DIR. Will

Of York, Pa, is a relative of Presi-

"You see, 1t wasn't the dog entirely, 1t
was the principle I was thinking Of"
Nonsense" said the old lady, "you
thought Of nothing but having your
own way: and. from my point of view,
you will be a very lucky young person
IL that fine-looking, manly Philip Will
take you back at any price. Think of
weighing a miserable little dog i'm the
balance against the love of such q man!
why. my dear, could shake you"
But" faltered Edith, "do you think
a woman should give up everything to
her husband?"
Certainly not" said the old lady,
"and no true man will ask her to. You
give up much, of course. and you ought
to. Sacrifice is the essence of true love,
and 1t is the essence of selhshness as
well, because you are far happier in
sacrificing to one you love than you
are in Withholding. Now, my advice
is, make II up with your Philip as soon
as ever you can, and live happy ever
after and always remember how near
your happiness came to going to the
dogs. AMI now, do you realize that IT
is dusk? Let us go to dinner together
AS they We're coming out of the din
ing car they passed tall, dark man
at one of the tables: the little lady,
leading the way, passed him with her
eyes straight ahead, but as the very
dear old lady reached him she paused
for moment, as she whispered:
do not worry, it is coming out all
right"
Philip looked his thanks, then turned
to his dinner with more hopefulness
than he had felt in many days.
a little later Edith and her new
friend still say side by side. talking,
and the wheels were singing and hum
ming in merry metre, for the train was
making up time.
I'VE shall soon be in Chicago now"
said the very dear old lady; will you
speak to him before you leave the
train"
"Oh, think not" said Edith; and
then added. with little return of the
naughty manner. 'he must come to
me-"
The old lady looked at Edith a mo-
ment, indulgently, and said, Don't
wait too long"
Soon they were gathering up their
small traps. and the train was running
into the city. The wheels seemed now
to have ended their song, and to he
saying, well. if you've not had a Mer-
rY Christmas it's not our fault; we've
sung to you all day long"
Just as Edith was pulling down her
veil and drawing on her gloves Philip
hurried in, threw his coat over his arm,
picked UP his satchel, and without a
glance at her left the car. Edith looked
startled, then turned towards the old
lady who, having made a shrewd guess
as to Philips plans, said, well, my
dear good-by, and God bless you! 1
think you may have a Merry Christmas
after all: now run along and get your
cab" and the very dear old lady watch
ed her tenderly as she hurried out into
the busy station. Just as Edith found
a misunderstanding cab, she noticed
Philip almost at her side, and in her
agitation she got into the cab without
giving any orders to the driver. Philip
stepped quickly up, handed his satchel
to the man, saying, Drive to the Audi
tOrium Hotel" and turned towards the
cab.
Put, Philip, my trunks" gasped
Edith.
You darling" said Philip. as he
jumped in and slammed the door. And
the cab rolled away into the night.

LOVE AND MARRIAGE.
She Could Not Speak.

Marie" said the young man in
pleading tones. II love you"
She could not speak.
Marie" he continued, you know
am one of the Stypsters. I have
standing, wealth, everything to make
you happy. Will you be mne?"
She could not speak, but looked at
him with a frightened fawn look.
Marie, why this strange silence?
You have led me to hope. Has your
love grown cold?"
She could not speak.
"Once more / ask you, will you be
mine? Give me one little ray of hope
anything but this heart breaking si-
lence."
She could not speak. and Clarence,
with a farewell forever" on his lips,
dashed madly from the room.
The trouble with Marie was this:
She liked Clarence all right-in fact,
had been trying to capture him all
season, but just before he called she
had been taking her afternoon nap
and had fallen asleep with her lips
partly open. AS a result of this the
spruce gum which she had in her
mouth had hardened and held her teeth
together with a Vice-like grip.
She could not speak,-New York

A NEW TYPE OF STREET CAR.
Many New aud Desirable Features OF
Convenience and Comfort.

From the Springfield Republican.
The new car for use on the green line
to Chicopee, which the Wason Manu-
featuring company is making for the
street railway company, is nearly
done, and will probably be finished the
goth, when It will be turned over 10
the street railway, who will fit 1t out
with its electrical equipment. The car
represents about the latest and best
IDEAS in the construction for purposes
of street TRANSFORMATION. II departs,
from older styles in two important
points, in its length, and in the deep
windows. which If opened with make
the car a very pleasant means of sum-
mer travel, The body is thirty feet
long, and each vestibule is five feet
in addition, making a total ength of
forty feet. The body is five feet long
er than that of the last green cars
which were built by the company for
the Chicopee line, and the vestibults
are each one foot longer The doors
are at one side of the vestibule, in
stead of at the center, as is generally
the case, and these doors are thirty
six inches wide, instead of twenty
two inches, a more ordinary width.
The seats are of the reversible type.
There are on each side eight seats
running lengthwise of the car, two of
these seats to accommodate three peo-
pie each, and two to accommodate two
each. There are two seats in each
vestibule, made of Stats like those of
an open car. Thus the total seating
capacity of the car will be fortysix.
The car will give a better accommo-
| dalton for smokers with it's bigger YES
| tibules with seats. The seats inside
! Will be covered with crimson plush.
| The interior of the car will be hand
somely finished The ceiling will be
| decorated a dark brown on a hand
| some selection of white birch The
| windows are eight inches deeper than
was the case on the new green cars
above referred to- This will make
them very light and airy in summer
| The ceiling will have five panels. in
the middle one will be a group of five
| electric lights, in the two next groups
! of three, and in the end panels groups
Of two. Each lamp is sixteen candle
| power, and thus the lighting capacity
| of the car will be 240 candle power
| The exterior will be PAINTED, the low
er part green and the posts and the
! upper part old ivory, shade of cream
| and there will be gold decorations
! There will be no lettering, and the des-
tination will be indicated by signs. The
| car will be numbered 202. Inere will
| be four thirty-horse power motors,
which will give twenty more horse
| power than the new green cars re-
| ferred to above. There will be hand
and air brakes, and the car will be
! heated by the consolidated system of
electric heat, the heaters attached to
| the truss plank at the bottom and
grated so that there will be no danger
| Of burning clothing. The lights will
| be of 1916 plate and in two sashes
| The deck lights will be of embossed
green. This car is made as a sample,
and If it is satisfactory to the COM
| pany others will be ordered like it.

"What is the most curious transact
ton / ever had?" said a well known
postage stamp dealer,
Some years ago an old lady called
upon me- asking whether l could give
her anything for few old stamps she
had had by her since she was pustmis-
tress i'm a certain small country town
about half century ago.
On examination they proved to be
some of the very rarest of the old un-
used British stamps, and as | had a
customer for them. l told her that
would gladly give her so pounds for
them.
but what am TO do with all that
money? quieried the old lady in appar-
ent dismay at the sudden possibility Of
so much wealth.
If you like to send for it, shall be
glad TO hand IT over to any one whom
you care TO provide with written au-
thorlty for the payment said /, and to
this she agreed with evident relief.

that held the creese fell helpless by
his side, through his hand still clutcher
the weapon. He clung to the stay by
one and and his feet and kept on down
1t almost as fast as before. A fifth
and sixth shot, and at the last the
Malay stopped still, then fell like a
lump of putty to the deck, full forty
feet below. Whether he was dead
when he struck tha deck do not know,
but the mate, who must have been
watching from his room. ran out from
the cabin to where the Malay was
with a handspke and made sure work
of the fellow before he could rise. TIL n
the LasCars came running from the
fOrecastle and down the rigging, and
with capStan bars, Delaying pins, and
knives struck and thrust at the dead
Malay until if he had had a dozen
lives in him they would have been
hammered out of his body before the
officers could restrain the excited soil
ors.
Our captain got the full story Of
the affair from the captain o. the
Mahratta the next day. The Malay
had been brooding and sullen for days
before, though no one knew what his
grievance was. on this day as the
men were piped to dinner he had gone
into the forecastle, got the crease from
some place where he had it concealed,
and had furiously attacked his mates
without a word. They raised the cry
Amuck! Amuck' and scattered, but
not until three of them had been killed
or mortally wounded, and two more of
them seriously cut by the creese. Run
ming forward, he had encountered the
second mate. and the rest of the affair
l saw Five men dead and two badly
hurt by the Malay, and himself killed
at the end, was the record of ten min
utes' business in running amuck Ma
lays in mine after this? No, thank
you"
