One of schley's Ancestors.

A great-granddaughter of Mr..
Thomas Schley writes to the Sun as
follows: "From the Key, an old paper
published in Fredericktown in 1913, l
extracted the following from sketch
of Frederick County: The first house
was built by Mr.. Thomas Schley in
1746. This gentleman died in the
year 1890, aged seventy-eight, after
having had the satisfaction OF seeing
a dreary wood, late the habitation OF
bears, wolves, deer, ETC., and the oc-
easional hunting ground Of the gloomy
savage, converted into a fourishing
town, surrounded by fertile coun-
try, smiling with yellow harvests and
comfortable farmhouses, lnterspersed
with handsome seats, the happy re-
ward of enterprising, persevering in
dustry.' Now Commodore Schley has
no need to blush at the origin OF his
great great grandfather. Mr.. Thomas
Schley full name, John Thomas
Schley), for he was scholar and
Christian gentleman, amember OF the
German Reformed Church, and to
society of that denomination there was
usually attached schoolmaster, who
in the minister's absence read the ser
vice and instructed the children.
Many of the children of the early in.
habitants of the town owed theil
education to him giving freely and
without compensation, for the good Of
the place. He was a wealthy man
and large landowner. = Baltimore

A cable from Madrid says: The cabinet
council held two meetings discussing the
Ieace terms. A dispatch was then sent to
Washington for further explanation of

was an awkward pause, during which War

PRESENCE OF MIND.
He was Keen Boy and Was Equal
to the Occasion When Caught
at Mischief.

The farmer crept stealthily along behind
the fence. Step by step he advanced, always
with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree,
in the distance.
"Gol durn them town boys, anyway" he
muttered to himself, as he took irmer grip
upon the ugly-looking switch that he had
cut from the hickory back of the barn, "Ill
show 'em!"
Nearer and nearer he drew to the spot
where the engagement was to occur. Softly,
like tiger advancing upon its prey, he
edged along through the weeds, from one
fence corner to another
Meanwhile the boy in the tree kept crook
ing his elbow at a 32-knot clip. The cherries
were large and fat and red, and he had a
wonderful tonnage. Ever and anon he would
smack his lips, and eject handful of stones
from his mouth. 1t was glorious.
Suddenly rugged form seemed to rise up
out of the ground, and somebody bawled in
tones that were husky with emotion:
Here, drat your hide, what are you doin'
up there"
1t was one of those moments when word
may win all or cause all to be lost
The boy dropped the biggest, reddest,
juiciest cherry that he had been able to
reach, pulled himself together, drew his bare,
brown legs up under him, and replied:
'sI'm rememberin' the Maine"
When he could speak again the farmer
said
eff they amt enough here fer you, there's
another nice tree full of 'em, up yonder in
the orchard. "-Cleveland Leader.

READY TO TAKE HIS GALL.
The Surprising Offer of n Bankrupt's
Soulless Creditor at an As
signment Meeting.

Not long ago a substantial looking New
Yorker came to Chicago to engage in the re-
tail cigar business. He had seemingly good
credentials and rented an attractive little
store on the North side, buying his fixtures
on credit. On the same terms he laid in quite
a large stock of goods and opened his doors
for patronage. He seemed to be doing quite
a good business and none of his numerous
creditors manifested the least alarm as to
the safety of their accounts. Suddenly he
made an assignment. His creditors were
notified and full meeting was held in the
office of his attorney, the sorrowful bank
rupt not being present with them.
The attorney made polite and pacific
speech. An eastern creditor, who had Sc
cured judgment on fraudulent claim had
attached and carried away everything ex-
cept 270 cigars and $3.50 in money. The un-
fortunate debtor owed over So 900 to the men
present, which he would liquidate at the
earliest possible moment.
"My client suffers far more acutely than
any of you," continued the lawyer Gle

not much, it is true, but | trust it will serve

whats that?" asked somewhat deaf
old man, supplementing his right ear with
his broad palm.
my client is willing to divide his very
body among you," repeated the attorney.
"All right" responded the old man, I'll
take his gall!"-Chjcago Chronicle.
