Not the One She Expected.

At the hotel she was said to be a
rich young widow; at any rate, she
was charming, and the third day of
her stay she had the most eligible
and handsomest young man of the
contingent at her feet.
About sunset they were sitting on
the beach under the same umbrella,
and the conversation, though on the
most ordinary subjects and not the
least sentimental, was punctuated
by chances and voice tones of the
kind that act as advance agents of
tlirtatiOnS or more serious matters.
The young mans head was almost
gone and he began to consider
whether he should propose at once
or wait until the end of the week
What her sentiments were he could
not tell, but she seemed to thorough
ly enjoy his company.
She was expecting her sister down
from the city in a day or so, and
also telegram at any hour, stating
when she would arrive.
you will like Edith very much, y
she said. "She is considered very
pretty and fascinating"
"She is like you, then" said the
young man, gazing softly into her
eyes.
She blushed and gazed at the
white breakers rolling upon the
beach.
A boy came up with a telegram.
For Mrs. Gayley," he said.
From Edith, she said, smilingly
open it, Mr.. Sapleigh, and see
when she will arrive"
He tore off the end of the buff en-
velope, drew out the telegram and
read aloud:
Dear Liz.-Where the duce did
you put my shirts and socks wher
you left home? TOM"
And as the sea continued to break
on its cold, grey stones, according
to its we'll known habit, the tender
grace of the day turned up its toe:
and died right away quick.

Gossip has made many Il home I'M

from wives. Gossip has blackened
and suliied the characters Of many
poor girls. Gossip has parted lovers
who would have been happy if it
had not been for it. One little mis-
step or one little indiscretion will
cause gossip to rise with full strength
and start on its mission. Her, did
we say? We ought not to, for we

The young postmaster of village
was hard at work in his office when
a gentle tap was heard upon the
door and in stepped a blushing
maiden of Is, with a money order
which she wished cashed. She
handed it, with a bashful smile, to
the official, who, after closely eX-
amining it, gave her the money it
called for. At the same time he
asked her if she had read what was
written on the margin of the order.
mo, / have not" she replied
"for 1 cannot make it out. Will
you please read it for me?"
The young postmaster read as fol-
lows: II send you $40 and dozen
Kisses
CHANGING at the bashful girl he
said: Now, [ have paid the money
and suppose you want the kisses?'
YES" she said, IF he sent me
any kisses 1 want them, too"
1t is hardly necessary to say that
the balance of the order was prompt
ly paid and in a scientific manner.
On reaching home the delighted
maiden said TO her mother:
Mother, this pOstotfice system OF
ours is a great thing, developing
more and more every year, and each
new feature seems to be the best.
Jimmy sent me a dozen kisses
along with the money order, and the
postmaster gave me 20. 1t beats the
special delivery system all hollow"

highways, has compiled a great
amount Of data relative to the con
struction of the public roads in vari-
on, parts of the country. Under his
direction, during the past year,
there lave been sent out several
thousand circulars to various county
and state officials, asking for iufor-
nation as to the cost and mainte-
nance Of various forms of specially
constructed highways. The an
swers and the conclusions reached
have been sent out to the county Of
iicials over the country. In GER
tain sense they are among the most
important documents issued from
the Department, since they will I'M
dGubtedly have a great influence in
the building up and improvement
of the public highways. These re-
ports may be had by application to
the Department of Agriculture.
The latest reports from Hanover,
Germany, to the Agricultural De-
partment is that American horses
have recently advanced in Ger
many, and are selling at prices
ranging from 1925 to $500 per head.
The freight on each animal is 500,
and the man attending is taken over
and returned free Of charge. The
accommodations are so perfect on
the ships that the hors as arrive there
in such fine condition that they are
permitted to land without quarau-
tine. The Department of Agricul-
ture will furnish any further infor-
nation on application through the
mail.
Mai. Moses p. Handy has been APP
pointed by President Mckinley as
Special Commissioner to the Paris
Exposition of 1900 to report on the
amount necessary to be appropria-
ted by Congress for the Government
exhibit. He is allowed $4,000 for
his junketing excursion and reti-
nue. of secretaries, clerks, experts,
etc. How is this as an unnecessary
expense, when all such arrange
ments could have been consumated
through our Ambassador to France?
The Hanna administration bids fair
to rival the billion dollar Congress of
Tom Reed if such junketing trips
as these are to continue.
All the information from Mary
land cOncurs in the opinion that the
State will be triumphantly brought
back into the line of its ancient and
time-honored faith of sound De-
mocracy as soon as the will of the

A conservative estimate of the

Infantry at its organization in 1861, and
remained with it until its surrender in
1865. He witnessed the Bonn bardment
and participated in battle on the snow
covered field at Ft. Donaldson. He
served months in prison on the icey
shore of Lake Michigan. He witnessed
the deadly effect Of his regiments fire
at Chickasaw Bayou; he heard the
thunder of the enemy's fleet at Port
Hudson; he witnessed the great loss OF
his regiment in the dreadful carnage

awful heat and dust on Big Black; he
heard and witnessed the downpour OF

our Camp and Bivouac, but that We
bow in humble submission to the will
of Him who doeth all things we'll, and
that we sympathize with his family in

MR.. BRYAN EXPLAINS.
Silver Leader Talks About the "Return
of Prosperity"

Silver Leader Talks About the "Return
of Prosperity"
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-The St. Louis
Post-Di5patch tomorrow will print
letter from William j. Bryan, the
first utterauce after three months Of
travel and observation during the
return of prosperity. Among other
things he says:
wheat has risen because the
foreign crop has been exceedingly
short"
1.-The fact thai silver and wheat
have parted company will cause no
dismay to those who understand
that the law of supply and demand
regulates the price of both"
Nothing can better disclose the
weakness of the Republican party
than the JOY manifested by the
Republicans over events for which
their men and policies are in no
wise responsible"
IF the Republicans desire to
claim credit for the high price of
wheat they must assume the re-
sponsibility for the famine in India"
"A general rise in prices should
be followed by rise in wages"
Mr.. Bryan says that the joy over
the increase of money from wheat is
evidence that we have too little
money; that if the farmers are bene-
flied by the rise in one of their pro-
ducts, how much better would it be
if the rise was universal; that the
price of wheat will fall when the
foreign demand becomes normal
and that the present spasmodic rise
will aid rather than injure the cause
of bimetallism,
