is 10 Do OlIoT0Q DIS dill excuse IOr per-
son making a fool of ones self, then
what legitimate excuse is to be given
for drinking the whisky when its effect
is previously known?
Humorous papers may continue to
poke fun at the agriculturist, and
"city' men may persist in laughing at
"brother hayseed'' as they condescend-
ingly term him; but it still remains an
uncontroverted fact that the farmer
is the only really independent man in
this world. He is practically the king
among men as he rules over his mod
est domain from the tilling of whose
fertile soil-the only true source of
material wealth-he reaps health
strength and happiness. Let the
farmers of this country take it into
their heads to go on lengthy strike,
during seed or harvest time, as do
other aggregations of workers, and
then the people would be placed in the
position where they would have to
recognize the power placed in the
hands of the class we now so fippantly
jeer at.
Upon invitation of the Hennepin co.
Prison Association Warden Wolfer de-
livered an address at the Church
of the Redeemer, Minneapolis, on
Prison Sunday. The subject he treated
was "The Prisoner-His Rights, Past
and Present" The church was filled
to its utmost capacity, more than 1000
people being present, according to the
Minneapolis papers of Monday. 1t is
very gratifying, especially so to intel
ligent prisoners, to know that the
public takes such keen interest in
prison matters, for the earlier the
people become better acquainted with
the prisoner as man, the sooner will
decided decrease in crime become
noticeable. Fully so per cent of pris-
oners are criminals by chance or
through individual carelessness rather
than by intent. If this number can be
returned to their proper position in So
ciety and further accessiOns to these
ranks be minimiZed, it will be COM
paratively easy to take care of the 20
per cent representing the professional
criminal population.

daughters clothes and waited for the
lover at the window. Promptly at the
moment appointed Whitley came to
steal away his lady love, and the widow
answered the summons. He assisted
her into the buggy and drove with her to
Grayson, the county seat of Carter coun-
tS, where he had arranged with Judge
Morris to perform the ceremony.
Whitley was surprised at the silence
of his companion, but as he had never
eloped before he thought it might be the
proper behavior. So he held the sob
bling figure in his arms and snuggled the
yelled face down on his shoulder, telling
her not to be afraid because he was sure
her mother would forgive her.

the marriage ceremony was performed
in the dusk of the front veranda. Then
the young man turned to kiss his bride
and discovered that he had married the
widow. For a moment or so he was

The girl was found next morning by a

mothers room, and when she learned of
the trick her mother had played she,
too, determined to make the best of it.
She says she thought she loved Mr..
Whitley, but she is now sure that she
did not. Anyway, she is content to be
a daughter to him.

paid for ride from his bedroom to his
parlor the other day, and the short
journey gave the capitalist so much sat

not excessive. OF course Mr.. Cummingr
anticipates many trips to and from his

pretty figure.
Mr.. Cummings has been confined to
the upper story of his Indiana avenue
residence since the first of the year with
dropsy. He has been able to move about
n little, but has been under the strictest
of injunctions from his physician not
to attempt to go downstairs even with
assistance.
Mr.. Cummings bethought him of a
plan whereby he could overcome OBJ
iections. He sent for a representative
of an elevator firm and the next day
workmen were busy tearing out part
of the kitchen, bathroom and one of
the upper dressing-rooms to make
room for shaft just back of the broad
stairway. An elevator,~sai to be the
most beautiful and costly of its size ever
built, was constructed to fit in the shaft,
and an electric motor was introduced
which successfully operates it.

A KENTUCKY ROMANCE.
How Mr.. Whitley Found Both
VIE and Daughter.
Widow Berry Bound and Imprisoned
Her LOve-Sick Daughter and
Eloped I'm Her Place with
Mystifed Lover.

Kentucky has furnished another ro-
nance for the world, and this time the
White Oak neighborhood has flashed
into sudden prominence on account
If it.
Mrs. Martha Berry, pretty widow
not beyond her 40th year, and her
daughter Matilda, who is we'll in her
teens, have lived for several years in
their vine-covered cottage near Green
up, greatly respected by their neigh
bors, and favorably known to the people
Of the township.
johnson Whitley, prosperous young
farmer, whose acres joined the Berry
land, had been for long time visitor
10 the cottage, and rumor coupled his
name with Matilda, and looked for the
marriage of the young people to COM
plete the pretty love story. 1t was gen.
orally supposed that they would be mar
ried soon; but for some reason or other
the widow withheld her consent, and
all the pleadings of the lover and the
csaxings of her daughter fell upon un-
hearing ears.
There was no objection to the young
man as far as anyone could see. In
fact, when some one went to Mrs. Berry
and asked her if she disliked her daugh-
ter's lover personally, she flushed rosily
and answered with most emphatic
mo" She even allowed him to con-
tinue his visits, and quite often staid
to visit with him herself when he came.
Matters went along in this way for
some time, and then the watchful
mother discovered that Matilda and
Whitley had made arrangements to
elope. Friday night was the time set
for the fight, and when it grew dark
the widow went to her daughters room.
Lie down and rest little while,
dear, and I'll sit by you," she said; and
as the girl complied she slipped gag
in her mouth before she could utter a
sound. Then binding her hands and
feet, she carried her into her own room
and tied her fast to the bed. This done,

George Anderson, the Portland (Me.)

The change in his opinion is due to an

derson was looking after traps he had
set for mink and marten, and his only
weapon was 22-caliber rife. He was
