NO ORDINARY PASSION.
Besides, He Had BusinessIike Way with Him
 That Was Sure to Win.

For nearly an hour Horatio Dexter had Johnson, pouring out his love- His was no ordinary passion. He had worshipped the beautiful girl from the moment that his eyes had first looked into hers.
 "Flavia," he implored have marcy! Can't you see that if you will not be- come my wife there will be no hope for me?"
 "No, don't say that" she returned in low, sweet accents; you will get over it. Three years ago Titus Henderson told me the same thing. Now he is married to another, and the father of twins I know that he is happy. You will forget me as he has forgotten me. You will meet some one else and love her, and then, in good time, be happy with your twi-I mean your family as he is"
 "Ah," he bitterly replied, "others may be happy with their twins. I don't care for them. You-you, Flavia, are what 1 want. You are the pole star of my existence. Say that you can learn to love me Say that.I may at least hope me!'
 Poor boy!" she said, stroking his curls, T am sorry for you. I wish were not so lovely. It is terrible, this thing of driving people mad for love of me. I will give you little lock of my hair which you can wear next to your heart. Perhaps that will help you to get over it."
 NO! No?' he sobbed, q don't think a lock of hair on my heart would do bit of good lit would only tickle me I am very ticklish Flavia. Keep your hair. You may need it some day. Now I'm going to give you just one more chance. Will you or will you not be minc?"
 She bent and pressed her rich, ripe lips against his forehead, and then replied:
 Alas! I cannot; am promised to an- other, who makes more money in a day than you earn in a week. It nearly breaks my heart to have to tell you this, but you have forced me to do SO. Were things arranged differently, I could be happy with you, for love is knocking, at the door of my heart''
 Horatio Dexter got up, looked to see if his trousers were badly bagged at the knees or not and then, in 'ceid, harsh tones said:
 money transaction with you I suppose fought lto pay you Something for the time that you have wasted in hearing my story. How much do I owe you?"
 You insult me, sir! Go. before I call my father, who stands feet in his socks and weighs 197 pounds"
 So he departed, sayirg:

BETTER PAY FOR JUDGES
But There Will Be Fewer Judges in the Old
 Dominion in Future

Richmond, Va, July 31.--(Special)- The Virginia State Bar associatio in the summer of 1894 appointed a committee of distinguished lawyers to inquire what reforms were needed in the judicial sys- tenn of that commonwealth. The com mittee delayed action for several years, In the expectation that a constitutional convention would be held which could deal more satisfactorily with all ques- tions concerning the judiciary. The proposition to have such a convention, however, has been voted down by the people, and the committee has made a report prepared by MT. J. c. Parker rec ommending cha nges which he believes will secure speedier justice to litigants, greater efficiency in the courts, and re- duction of the expenditure in the judi ciary branch of the state government. It is proposed to provide better pay for the judges than they now receive, but to decrease the number of judges. Vir- ginia now pays the judges and clerks of her courts of record and her prosecuting attorneys an aggregate of SPAS, ,500 per annum. The changes advocated by Mir. Parker in his report would reduce these figures to $143,500 thus saving $1050 a year. and giving the people, as he con tends, a better service with better paid officers.

met and piloted to the bosses den" just as have been pictured in the 10-cent nov els. The $5,000 was put in a valise for them and they hinted that they were ready to depart. The game of the swindlers was to exchange a worthless valise for the one containing the booty and, of course, they protested against such nasty departure. Jim and his pal insisted and a general row ensued, dur ing which Jim backed himself cut of the room with drawn revolver and before many hours was speeding back to Ala bama.
 "The other fellow fared worse and was taken in tow by the police on a charge of carrying concealed weapors. He got off, however, and soon joined Jim. Short ly afterwards he was cut to pieces in d fight at country dance from the effects of which he died.
 Jim for several years before his end lived peaceful life, managing the farm affairs of Hon. John M. Hundley, near Moors's mill in Limestone county. In race MT. Hundley made for the legis- lature, Jim managed the ballot boxes in the Black Belt" portion of the county and did it well.
 He was finally brutally murdered by esveral of his enemies who were never punished for the crime"

LOOKS BRIGHT.

Nashville, Tenp, July 31.-(speeial)-- Col. Jerome HiE, of Hill Fountain & O., Memphis, was here yesterday on his re- turn from a trip through Alabama and Georgia. In an interview with the Ban her he said:
 Tn the coal and iron districts of Ala bama affairs are looking up, and there is renewed activity ard l believe firmly that Birmingham will yet become the coal and iron center of America. The pr01uc ion of steai there settles the future of that city and will largely result in the re- moval of this great industry, at least in part, to the south, and it is the fourda- tion of great achievements and mate ial wealth for Alabama. Take it all in all the future of the south looks bright to me and I found that the business men of the sections l visited look upon the nat ter in the same light as I do.'

my life" remarked a gentleman at the Morris the other night but the mo:t unique undertaking that has yet engaged my attention occurred last week.
 T was down at my plantation to see about the outlook for a crop and. incl dentally, to do a little fishing While I was there, thunder cloud came up one afternoon and a negro boy, who cut across the cotton field in haste to escape the coming shower, ran against a light ning bolt that sent him to kingdom come aiong with one of the finest mules on tha place.
 That night the negroes gathered from far and near and held such a rouSlng wake for the benefit of the sorrowing friends of the diseease that I could plainly hear the rumpus they kicked up at the house, a mile away.
 'l expected, of course, there would be big funeral the next day and my sur- prise may be imagined when l found out that the negroes positively refused to have anything to do with his burial, other than to dig the grave; and the up- shot of the matter was, that my planta- ton manager, his son and myself had to put the poor fellow in the ground as best We could.
 Feeling sure that there was some su- perstition connected with circum- stance so irregular, I sent that evening for an old preacher that lived in the neighborhood, and whom the darl1ies re- vered as something of a witch doctor and attempted to bribe him with whisky and tobacco to ravel the matter out. I found, however, after talking with him awhile that the occurrence was simpler than I thought, a.li had it's foundation in a happening on the plantation that ehanoed when I was boy and that had escaped my memory:
 ! sAt that time the negrogs were for the most part, filed with religious fervor E and, upon the whole place, there was but one adult that was sinner This man, however, was so entirely given over Ito the wicked that he seemed to possess a fiasciration for his gOdly brethren, and his popularity was unbounded One day while chopping cotton, and he was, as usual, entertaining his companions with railery at ali holy things and with stories of his own delightful shortcomings, sud- denly there came directly over nm a SlOuu ibOl ldISeI tHdil lHe udiHd Ol d HEAL, the negroes say, and out of the cloud a lightning flash that killed him with a ribald jest upon his lips.
 "This, itself, was considered as warning for the wicked direct from heav- en, and the next day, when they came to lower his body into the grave, and there was again a bolt of lightning that tore the coffin to atoms and severely shocked many of the bystanders, the negroes were terrorized, and no power could in- duce them to finish the interment, or, since that time, to have anything to do with the burial of anyone, as they say, that God kills.'''

The world, says Woodrow Wilson in
The Atlantic, is apt to esteem that man
most human who has his qualities in a
certain exaggeration, whose courage is
passionate, whose generosity is without
deliberation, whose just action is with
out premeditation, whose spirit runs
toward its favorite objects with an in
fcctious aud reckless ardor, whose wis
dom is no child Of slow prudence. We
love Achilles more than Diomedes, and
Ulysses not at all. But these are stand
ards left over from ruder state Of So

time the homoric stage of mind--should
have heroes suited to our age. Nay, we
