hood that they would be married soon.
The mother, however, would not give
her consent to the match, but she did
not object to the young widower's calls.
He pleaded with the widow for the
hand of her daughter all to no purpose,
and the young people decided on an
elopement.
All the arrangements were made for
the clandestine leave taking, but the
watchful mother discovered what was
on foot, and on Friday night, the time
set for the elopement, she went to her
daughters room shortly after dark and
bound the girl hand and foot She
also tied gag in her mouth and took
her to her own room and tied her to the
bed. She then returned to the daugh-
ter's room, and when Whitley came to
steal away his lady love the widow
answered the summons, and, without
speaking word, joined the young man
in the yard. He assisted her into his
buggy and drove with her to Gray
son, the county seat of Carter County,
where he had arranged with Judge
Morris to perform the ceremony.
Whitley was struck by the silence Of
his companion, but as she leaned con-
fidingly on his arm and appeared to be
sobbing all the time, he could do moth
ing more than caress her now and then
and cheer her up by telling her that
her mother would forgive her. He had
no idea that he was carrying off the
mother instead of the daughter and it
was not until after the ceremony was
performed on the Judges front porch
and they had repaired to a hotel that
the deception was discovered by Whit
ley. He was dumbfounded but realiz-
ing that he was the husband of his
Sweetheart's mother he concluded to
make the best of what appeared to be
a bad bargain. He took his peculiarly
welded wife home, and to a neighbor
he said that although he thought he
was dead in love with Matilda, he al
ways did think a great deal of her
handsome mother.
Matilda was discovered bound in her
mothers room by neighbor the next
morning, and when she learned of the
trick her mother had played her she
took the matter philosophically, and
said that while she thought she loved
Mr. Whitley she is now satisfied that
she did not. She promises to be a du-
tiful daughter to him.-Greenup (Ky)
correspondent Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal.

TRUST IN THEIR CHILDREN.
Financial Arrangements Made fo1
Two Young Persons Abroad.

There is q very charming family in
New York where the subject of an in
come for the son and daughter is ar
ranged most satisfactorily for all con-
cerned. The two young people have in
herited, or have acquired from their en-
vironment, many delightful characters
tics, and perhaps may be called unusu-
ally clever and well-bred specimens of
young womanhood. That is what the
parents consider them, at any rate
The two are now abroad together
completing their education and cultivat-
ing their respective talents. AS far as
finances are concerned, they are abso-
lutely independent, and this is how it is
managed. AT the beginning of their
financial year the father in New York
goes to his banker and deposits a certain
sum of money, which is to last them the
entire year. 1t is a comfortable sum,
but not extravagant, when it is consid-
cred that they must pay their tuition,
board and for their clothes from it dur
ing that time. 1t is possible that they
might be called upon to economize with
it. At all events, whichever way it may
be, it is all the money they viii have
for the entire twelve months.
DO you mean to say that this money
is 10 be subject to the order of your son
and daughter" asked the astonished
cashier at the bank when the first de-
pcsit was made. why, 1 know young
people who would have a grand time and
spend all that money in three days"
We'll" returned pater familias COM
placently, ''if my children do that, they
know what they will have to expect;
they will support themselves the re-
mainder of the year"
But Notwithstanding his apparent
complaisance. if the money should be
used unwisely, the hearts of these ex-
ceptional parents would be sadly wrung.
An incident emphasizing this fact oc-
CURED during the college days of the
young people, when a similar arrange
ment was made. The money for the son
was placed in a bank, in a town to
which the college was adjacent, sub
ject to his order In the bank was a
relative of the family, who for some rea-
sen, perhaps from suggestions of the
green-eyed monster, was not amicably
inclined to the young man.
| At any rate, the mother at home was
| filled with horror and dismay one day
at receiving a note from the relative
which read curtly: Blank has over
drawn his account. have made it good
this time, but do not let it occur again. -
In great haste she telegraphed money
| on to the bank, and then waited in
agony to hear from her son. What had
| he done? What was the cause of it?
He was only human like other boys, and
there We're so many temptations that
might beset him; but her boyi 1t seemed
ages before a letter came. Then there
was an explanation.
| 1t was not temptation which had
| led him astray; it was bad arithmetic.
He had miscalculated. He had over
drawn his account to the amount Of
1 cents.-New York Times.

Await the rheumatic sufferer who resorts
to HoStetter's Stomach BitterS. That
this benignant cordial and depurent is a
lar more reliable remedy than colchicum
and other poiSons used to expel the rheu-
matte virus from the blood is a fact that
experience has satisfactorily demon
strated. It also enjoys the advantage of
being-unlike them-perfectly safe. With
many persons certain predisposition to
rheumatism exists, which renders them
liable to its attacks after exposure in wet
weather, to currents of air, changes of
temperature, or to cold when the body is
hot. Such persons should take a, wine
glass or two of the Bitters as soon as pos
sible after incurring risk from the above
causes, as this superb protective effectu-
ally nuHifies the hurtful influence For
the functional arrangements which ac-
company rheumatism, such as collie,
spasms in the stomach, palpitation of the
heart, imperfect digestion, etc, the Bit
terS is also most useful remedy. 1t is
only necessary in obstinate cases to use it
with perSiStency.
