Among many faults of the nineteenth
century is often reckoned haste. The
world, one says, Is full of hurry and
hustle; time is outrageously dear. Yet
in the business Of counting men are
marvels of patience and leisureliness
when compared TO what they were in
the middle ages. They liked then TO
commence a courtship by what is re-
garded now as the next TO the last
word in it, will you marry me?" and
they had little use for preliminaries.
If the gentlewoman was wise and vir-
tuous, she of course knew Immediately
what TO say, for she had previously
been informed of her suitor's fortune,
as he of her dowry, and a few minutes
only were necessary for the young peo-
pie to see whether they were mutually
agreeable or not.-Lippincott's.

THE OLD wAYsIDE INN.
House Made Famous by Longfellow Sold
to a Boston Man.

to Boston Man.
If there is no hitch in the papers the
old wayside inn at Sudbury, Mass,
made famous by Longfellow, will pass
into the ownership Of a Boston gentle
man Of antiquarian tastes, who will
preserve the building and fill it with
articles Of historic interest, says the
New York Times. The name of the
buyer will not be given out until the
papers have passed. This estate passed
into the hands of ex-Mayor S. H. Howe
Of Marlboro and ex-Ald. Homer Rogers
of Boston in 1893. Those two gentle
men have expended considerable money
in renOvating the house and improving
it. such as Singing the roof and retop-
ping the chimneys, which had been
broken in several places. This work in
no way, however, interferes with its
exterior or its historic worth, for Mr..
Rogers told a reporter at his house in
Allison that he would not have thai
happen for thousands, and the work
was done for preservation. When the
deed came into the hands of Mr. Rogers
three years ago it was the first time il
had passed out Of the hands of the
Howe family since the house was orig
inally built, two centuries since. The
building was built shortly after King
Philips war and up TO 1893 it was
known as Howe's tavern. David Howe
built it about the commencement of the
eighteenth century and in 1902 received
from Samuel Howe, his father, a tract
of $50 acres Of land. John Howe. the
grandfather of David, had the lot on
which the tavern stands assigned him
in the apportionment of 1861. In 1746
Col. Ezekiel Howe, who won fame in
the revolution, hung out the red-horse
sign and when, in 1896, the colonel died,
Adam, his son. took the tavern, and for
forty years conducted it as a public
house. Lyman Howe, brother, took
possession when Adam passed away,
and continued to keep an inn until
about 1856 Then its days Of usefulness
in this direction ceased. 1t has. how
ever. been open to the public for sew
eral seasons past. Time and the storms
have dealt lightly with the historic
structure, for the white-oak beams are
in a fine state of preservation.

COYOTES SOMETIMES ADRoIT.

No cutter animal is found in the west

plainsman what fox is TO an eastern

come into about $1,000 a year; added
to this attraction, she was beautiful,
clever and charming. She was bright.

as suitors soon found to their cost.
You'll be an old maid, Isbel,' re-
monstrated the aunt with whom she
lived. You are nearly "a, my dear.

young lady; IAN old maid is as good

than having a husband one doesn't care
for. I'm not in love, dear, and so mean

That was said-snd said truly then
some weeks before she came on this
visit to Halcombe Grange and there
met the artist, Eric Errington; but
could she have said the same as truly
now, when the visit was drawing to a
close? The lips might. perhaps; the
heart was another matter entirely
and she knew it. She was no tyro of
girl in her teens, but a woman who
lived in the world and neither could
nor would deceive herself; she knew
that she loved Errington, and he loved
her, despite his proud reticence and
silence. What woman could not read
between the lines? What man could
possibly at all times completely guard
every look and tone and touch when
thrown so constantly each day with
the loved one? He is unconscious how
or when his secret is betrayed to that
one.
But no one save Isbel Brandon her
self suspected Errington's secret. He
neither held aloof nor markedly sought
her. But there were one or two others
among the party who did so, and one
day Maj. Glyn, the host, said half jest
ingly to Eric:
My dear fellow. why don't you try
your chance with the beautiful heiress
and win a fortune, and Herewith a
speedy rise to fame?"
Thank you, not l." said the artist,
with laugh and shrug to cover the
deeper feelings stirred Il have no in

DISPUTING OVER BONES
More Experts for Luetgert's Defense on

Prof. Plummer Declares That Cele-

CHICAGO, October 4.-Professor Eckley
Of the College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Chicago was recalled today for cross
examination in the Luetgert trial. upon
several matters in connection with his
identification of bones. His testimony was
simply repetition of that OF other wit
nesses along the same line. and he was not
kept upon the witness stand long.
Professor Plummer of the Northwestern
Medical College, the second witness Of the
day, gave evidence much to the liking of
the defense. After brief examination. of
