She Said IT.

The difficulties which people who are
unaccustomed to contact with titled
persons have in using the "handles"
to the names of lords and dukes are
immense. An English paper tells of the
way in which one young woman solved
a problem of the sort. She was an un-
sophisticated country girl, and had
been engaged as housemaid in the serv-
ice of the duke of Rutland at Belvoir.
When she came she was thus instructed
by the housekeeper: Whenever you
meet the duke, Alice, be sure to say:
Your grace" The very next day, as
the maid was going down the pas
sage, the duke CHANGED to meet her.
Immediately the girl drew herself close
to the wall, closed her eyes and, as
Stunning a reverential attitude, said:
Lord, supply the wants of others and
make us thankful. Amen!"-Youth's
Companion.

POVERTY AND RICHES.
The, supreme Court Delivers q Most
Beautiful Little Essay.


A fine essay on poverty and riches
was delivered by the supreme court in
one of its last opinions of the term.
Mr.. McNair, of Wapello county, bough,
a diamond stud at jewelers. and
failed to pay for it. The jeweler held
Mr.. McNair's wife responsible for the
goods, but Mrs. McNair pleaded she
should not pay the bill because the dia-
mond was not family expense. The
court says:
IF the diamond stud was worn by the
defendants husband. as is alleged. for per-
sonal use as well as adornment II is an
expense such as is contemplated by the
statute. Nor does such holding involve
unnecessary hardship 1t is said in the
petition that the McNairs are family OF
large fortune, high social rank and lux
urious habits. If this be true, then jewelry
may well be deemed appropriate to their
situation in life and n source of no inconsid-
cradle outlay in maintaining the family
according to their station and in harmony
with their associations.
THE price of diamond shirt stud will
not in all cases be family expense, but
where procured for personal use and &C
tually used and worn by the husband, II
becomes such. The same rule must be APP
piled to the diamond and the pearl, to the
rich and the poor.
MANY families would have no use for
silks and satins or Smyrna rugs or costly
Jewelry and, In such cases, neither hus-
band nor wife would be liable for the in
debtedness incurred by the other therefor.
But IL these are purchased and used In
the family 1t is not perceived on what
ground they may not be deemed a family

Tietro has grown thinner. He does
not seem to care so much for dada
mics stories now. He sits for hours
quietly looking at the snowy scene; yet
he seems contented. He has habit
of smiling to himself-a little, slow
smile that plays around his baby lips,
then steals into his clear blue eyes, to
fade away with serious wonderment.
The cold air affects Tietro badly; he
breaths in short, painful gasps, and
eats but little.
falling. Sunday morning Diadamie
arose early, and built fire in the fire
place which blazed and cracked cheer
fully. Then she carried in more logs,
swept the snow from them, and built
| them up close to the fireplace
enough to last all day, so that she
might not have to bring in snowy wood
to chill the air for the suffering child.
The day dragged by. Diadamie felt a
| weight upon her heart from which
| there was no relief, for it was plain
| that Tietro was not so well. The still
| ness of that snow-entombed mountain
| was awful. She could not interest
Tietro in any way. Before it was quite
dark he wished to go to bed; Diadamie
laid him down tenderly, tucked him in
and kissed him many times, but he only
smiled in answer to her goodnight and
soon fell asleep. Diadamie piled the
| logs on the fire and the blaze filled the
room with a bright glow. Tietro slept
on and breathed more easily now; and
after one more look at his wasted face,
she threw herself down on a rude couch
az the foot of his bed and fell asleep.
When she awakened the fire was low,
and she seemed to have been dreaming.
She surely heard Tietro laugh. She
opened her eyes slowly, and when con-
seriousness had fully returned she was
| too terrified to move; for the room was
| filled with light-a moving, billowy,
cloudy light, Opaque like a mist, yet
brilliant. This only for minute-ther

BEARS IN IOWA.
A Duck Hunter Finds a Mother and
Cub I'm Emmett County.

i. T.. Dale, of the Dale-Goodwin
Pressed Brick company, killed a bear in
North Iowa few days ago while on a
hunting trip. He has the bear to show
for it, and half dozen witnesses who
will testify he shot it in Emmett coun-
ty, near the Minnesota line, while on n
duck-shooting trip. While beating
about clump of timber bordering a
small lake he was surprised to come
suddenly on a she bear and her cub.
With his shotgun Dale killed the cub,
brought the animal to Des Moines, and
feast will be served to the members
of the Des Moines Gun club. When he
left for Des Moines the farmers had
taken up the hunt and were surround
ing the oak timber with the intention
of running the old bear to earth. They

The grand jury in Dubuque has again
indicted ex-Mayor Olinger for taking
salary in excess of the legal limit, and
Aldermen Halpin, Cullen, Shea, Schultz,
Vogler, Crawford, Bauer and Kaufman,
of the council of 1895, for raising their
own salaries. Judge Waterman sus-
tanned demurrers to the original in
dictments, but the supreme court last
month overruled him. The city charter
prohibits aldermen from voting on
questions in which they are interested,
and the law limits the mayors salary to
$500 per year. Olinger took $4,000.

"Stormy" Jordan Again.


1t is announced that STORMY" Jor-
dan is again in the saloon business in
Ottumwa. Jordan became famous fight
ing the prohibitory law. He ran a
place that was known the country over
as "The Road to He'll" Above the place
in flaming red letters was printed this
sign: "Road to He'll" Inside were nu-
merous other signs, such as "Nose Paint
for Sale Here" and the eccentric pro-
proprietor dealt out from behind the
bar such sentiments as those embodied
in the signs. When a customer asked
for the best in the house he always
set glass of water before him.
When the prohibitory law was passed
Jordan refused to abide by it and spent
fortune fighting it in the courts. At
last, when the court of last resort de-
cided against him, he had 25 years in
the penitentiary and 100000 fine hang
ing over him. The execution of these
were suspended by Gov. Larrabee on
condition that he leave the state. He
went to Missouri, but when the original
package decision was made he returned
and reopened his saloon, declaring there
was no prohibitory law in Iowa. The
sentence which Gov. Larrabee RENTED
was brought to bear upon him and he
was forced to close his saloon again. A
few days ago he bought the fixtures and
stock back again and leased the build

$500 have been bound and distributed,
although the work has been going on
since September a. the day the first

binding has been hindered by delay in

umes being very large the progress has
been much slower than anticipated.
