WILLING TO FORGIVE.

| Atlanta Constitution.
Judge Andy's matinee was enliv-
ened yesterday afternoon with a case
which was rich in genuine humor.
A case against Lille Buford. a
negro woman, was called, and there
arose in the audience a negro youth
who bore upon the exact centre of his
forehead round wound, over which
there was a circular piece of court
plaster.
The youth was the witness against
the woman and as he walked forward
he said:

"a centre shot," remarked the re-
corder.

In this country was pretty face She
was voluble Of speech and slow of COM
prehension, and many a housekeeper
would have given her marching orders
at the end Of the first week; but Mrs.
c. thought there were the max
lngs of good servant in her. and so
kept her.
After the girl had been with her a
month, and had learned how to serve
soup without spilling it down the backs
OF the diners, Mrs. G. gave a din
ner, to which were invited two very
dignified people, in whose home every
thing ran with the smoothness of a
chronometer, and she was naturally
anxious to approximate that smooth
ness in the service of her dinner.
For two courses everything went as
heart could wish. Bridget refrained
from speech, spilled not a thing. was

Irish girl can, which is saying a great

But when she removed the fish and
attempted to take it down stairs to the
kitchen. she tripped on the top step.
and with scream and series of bumps
and crashes she and the fish accomplish
the descent.
Mrs. C and her family vainly
tried to keep from laughter. There
was such a cheerful, bumpyj sound
in her downgoing. The two digniied
guests were as adamant They evil
IDENTIFY heard nothing. But even their
risibles were not proof against what
followed. Mrs. R sat irresolute for
moment. hoping that the girl would

LIKE A BORDER NOVEL.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
The Boston Globe fills three or four
Columns with story which is worth
condensing. Two years ago a young
man and his sweetheart were married
in the little village of Vanceburg, Me-,
on the borders of a wilderness which
extends hundreds of miles.
A few persons were present at the
wedding, but in the midst of the fes-
tivities a rejected lover of the bride
walked in and fired several shots, scat
tering the guests. In the confusion
the desperate escaped, dragging his
old sweetheart with him. He was pur-
sued, but succeeded in disappearing
with his captive, and nothing more
was heard from them.
The other day hunter from Vance
burg penetrated a great distance into
the forest, and found the rufflan who
had kidnapped the girl. He spoke to
him and soon discovered that he was
a driveling idiot. The hunter followed
him to a cabin, and there in rags he
found the missing bride.
The woman told a horrible story Of
her journey with her captor. He had
lieu her uduuS anu uTOVe OI uTdSSSu
her through the forest. He treated
her brutally, and beat her after her
frequent attempts to escape. Finally
she struck him on the head with an
AK, and from that day he had been
an idiot, without spark of reason.
There were wolves and bears in the
forest, and she dared not risk a trip
of hundreds of miles on foot, without
knowing which direction to take. So
she waited, hoping for her release for
two years.
The hunter carried her back to
Vanceburg, leaving the idiot in his
cabin. The Globe states that the wo-
mans husband was away on a long
nefghbsors say ne e 'i fas been loyal to
her, and has always said that if she
would be found, no matter what
might have befallen her, he would re-
ceive her and treat her as his wife
This sounds like a wild Western yarn
of the old-fashioned days, but it is
vouched for as true chapter of New
England life in our day and genera
ton.

A STRANGE PHENOMENA

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Here is a little story that is vouch-
ed for by the narrator, and the mar
rator is a person of high standing in
local society:
Mrs. Blank, lady in somewhat
Strengthened circumstances, was sit
ting with book in her hand in her
humble home on the West Side one
day few weeks ago. Suddenly a
blank shadow fell across the page she
was reading. She looked up hastily
and was astonished to find that there
was no cause for the sudden shade.
1t still laid across the page as she look
ed back, but almost Immediately be-
gan to fade. 1t faded slowly, and sew
eral times Mrs. Blank looked I'D and
tried to discover it's origin The day
was cloudy and there certainly wasn't
enough sunlight to throw shadow
The dark tint continued to grow dim
and presently it was gone. Mrs. Blank
rubbed her eyes. She thought her
vision was affected.
Then, just as suddenly as came the
shadow, a broad ray of sunlight
streamed across the self-same page.
1t was so bright that Mrs. Blank
could almost pick out the colors of the
spectrum.
Again she looked up. The sun was
hidden. The sky was gray and cold.
The dazzling CLEAN faded just as the
shadow did. Darker and darker it
grew. Then it was gone.
Mrs. Blank was again inclined to
blame her eyes for this peculiar Wis
ion. She laid down her book and
bathed her forehead with sold water.
Not for a moment did she ascribe her
singular experience to an occult source.
She couldn't forget the circumstance.
however. 1t haunted her all that day
and through the night.
The next morning she received a
telegram announcing the death of an
uncle, an uncle Of whom, when a
young girl, she had been very fond.
He had died in far Western town. a
fact which greatly surprised Mrs.
Blank, because when she had last
heard of him, dozen years before,
he was in Australia.
Five days later she received a let
ter from a firm of San Francisco law
yers notifying her that she had fallen
heir to her uncle's wealth and asking
instructions.
And this is the reason why Mrs.
Blank has looked upon that strange

Special to the Register.
Fairmont, w. Va, October "a
About o'clock this afternoon, at
Pritchards mine. about twenty miles
from here, James Cruise, colored,
was shot and instantly killed by an
unknown colored man, in a quarrel
over a woman. The murderer was
armed with shotgun, and was about
twenty feet from Cruise when he fired.
He then started away, and when two
or three men attempted to stop him
he pulled out two revolvers and drove
them off. He then fed across the river.
Both men are strangers, having come
here during the recent mining trouble.
The name of the murderer is not known
here.

A REGULAR HOO-DOO.
New York Telegram.

New York Telegram.
A small cross-eyed boy, who an
swered to the name of Mike and who
ran errands on. the stage, helped the
scene-shifter and did other things that
came his way, is no longer connected
with the Bijou Theater. Everybody
who came in contact with Mike called
him bad luck. AS Mr.. Rudolph Aron-
son remarked: "He appears to have
been $50 pounds Of bad luck, and
would make man lose everything he
ever possessed, including his mother
in-law."
Mike is said to have been response
BILE for about every accident that has
happened in the Bijou Theater for the
last six months-the whole period of
his engagement in that house. In fact,
SO many cases of bad luck were attrib-
uted to Mike that acters, actresses,
stage hands, managers, and even the
press agent used to wait until they
thought there was no chance of Mike
getting his baleful eye upon them be-
fore they entered the theater. He
looked at Miss Katharine Osterman,
and that night the lady dropped a val
liable watch down flight of stairs
and smashed it beyond repair. The
next evening he cast a pleasant glance
at Manager Jake" Rosenthal and half
an hour afterward Jake" fell down
stairs, narrowly escaping breaking his
neck. Mr.. Rudolph Aronson WIS read
ing a score of a new waltz he had
just written, when Mike came along
and looked at him. A bottle of ink
turned over on the waltz and that
settled it.
Mike patted the bulldog Cepheus
yesterday, and last night Cepheus lost
his voice, making it necessary to cut
his part out of the play. Mr.. Henry
Sire got in the line of Mikes vision
and about an hour afterward he got
a telegram announcing the death OF
a valuable horse. Mr. George Boni-
face, Jr., inadvertently left his dressing
room door open and Mike walked in
to hand him telegram. Mr.. Boni-
face caught the boys eye and that set
tied it. He had a bad headache all
night. Miss Anna Belmont met Mike
in the passageway, and before he had
gotten out of sight she caught the
skirt Of new gown she was wearing
for the first time on nail and ruined
1t.
Finally the company and the en-
ployes of the theater refused to stand
it any longer. A delegation went to
Mr.. Aronson and asked that he, in the
name of humanity, would try and lose
the cross-eyed call-boy. Mr. Aronson,
who is more or less brave in some re-
spects, feared to face the cross-eyed
gaze, SO he folded up two weeks sal
airy in an envelope, which he gave to
the colored footman, Theodore, who
in turn got rid of Mike. And now
Theodore saws that hot sixth avenue
ks.sanl- who carries razor in each
POCKET, has got away with his best
girl. And this is What Happened to
Mike"

THE BOY IN THE BUNDLE.

IF1E Buy In The bUNDLE.
Chicago Record.
An Iowa boy recently passed
through an experience which he will
not forget if he lives to be 100 years
old. He is only years old, and one
day when his father went to the
wheat field to drive the harvester he
took him along and perched him on
the high seat at his side.
For time all this was very inter-
esting, but presently the little fellow
grew tired and began to squirm and
complain. And then, just as his father
was leaning over to look more closely
at some of the machinery, off tumbled
the little fellow to the conveyOr. He
shrieked just once and his father tried
vainly to stop the horses. But before
he could even slacken the speed the
boy had been driven up through the
elevator canvas with half bundle Of
wheat, the binding Irvine had twisted
swiftly around his neck and legs and
he was rolled out on the wide carrier
securely bound in wheat bundle. He
was almost choked and there was a
tiny bit of skin torn from his Shout
der, but otherwise he was unhurt when
his father cut the string and helped
him UP again. But a worse frighten-
ed boy would have been hard to find.
