A GALLOPING HORSE.

The curate sat in old Mr.. Robson's
chintz-covered armchair. nodding now
and then as the mistress of the farm
paused in her outburst of excited
speech. He was married and the faith
er Of ten children, but bourgeois youth
full affections still hung thick about
him, for, instead Of leaving his cup
and saucer on the tray, he held them
In his lean white hands, crooking his
little fingers daintily, while his speech
was usually punctuated with many
"sweetly pretties" and "passionately
fonds." Withal a good man, accord
ing to his lights, and endowed with a
certain liking of the dutiful in his fell
low creatures.
He had come up by the widows re-
quest, for her daughter was dying, and
she was too proud to speak Of her wild
trouble to kinsfolk who had never
viewed her with any courtesy since
her marriage to a man aged enough
to have been her father.
She was slightly incoherent in her
request for advice, but the curate
thought he understood.
Really, Mrs. Robson" he said gent
ly at last, st is a most painful case.
Yes, thank you, another cup OF tea
three Jumps, yes; have a sweet tooth.
OF course, think that you should have
consulted me before, when Hannah
was in better health, and then / could
have admonished her. Now we can
only pray. But none the less it is our
bounden duty to tell her that she
should wrest her affections from all
unworthy worldliness and look up to
the skies, whence comfort"
Mrs. Robson's face had grown cold
and hard; a heavy perspiration shone
on her forehead.

twain. An only today has hoo told
me all what hoo's suffered"
you we're much to blame" said the
curate sententiously, balancing his
spoon on the rim of the tea-cup, very
much to blame"
She clasped her hands and wrung
them painfully, so that she might not
burst into hysterical laughter. "Mr
Fryston," she said hoarsely, I'm a
clean-minded woman, an Hannah

the curate.

KNOWING HOW PAYS.
The Moral of This Old, Old Aneodote
VIII Save Heap of Trouble a.
and a Pile of Money.

Something had gone wrong with
some simple part of a stationary engine
and the stoker could not fix il. After
spending a day or two on il he was,
forced to ask the aid of more compe- ,
tent workman. He failed also, and
someone suggested the employment of
local celebrity, sort of tinker at any
mechanical job. There is generally
one in every locality. He gave two or.
three raps with his hammer and
touched up n rod or two, when the
pounding, or whatever allied the ma
chine, ceased. When asked to make
out his bill, it read as follows:

Buncoed Again.

The Manchester News tells OF q
farmer living near Talmage who gave
two lightning rod agents their dinner.
They proposed to put rods on his
house free and be signed receipt
therefor. Two men were to come
later and do the work. The two men
and team did not show up, but the
farmer thought little Of the transac'
ton until few days later, when he
was notified that note held by an
Abilene bank would be due on GER
tain date. He fastened to Abilene
and found that the innocent looking
piece Of paper he had signed for the
agent had been transformed into a
note payable a few days after date.
The farmer is well-to.do and the
agent had no trouble in discountine
the note at the bank. We did mol
think Dickinson farmers could be bun
coed but they seem to be caught some
times.

10 SETTLE THE CUBAN WAR
The President Coasldsriag How Bsst -
Deal with the Question without In
tervsntion b. Force

WASHINGTON, March l7.-No inter
vention with force will take place
this spring or summer. The president
has taken much counsel On the ques-
ton Of q Cuban campaign at this sea-
son Of the year. He Is impressed with
the belief that the government should
not attempt to land troops or to block
ade Cuban ports now. II the Cuban
war cannot be brought TO On end with.
out demonstration in force BY this
country against the island, then such
aggressive action must be postponed
until October or November. This is
the conclusion reached after much con-
ferring Spain may do something to
provoke hostilitiea In that event the
president will not hesitate. But in the
event that . campaign against the
island must be undertaken and the
president can choose his own time the
movement will not be ordered until
late fall or early winter.
How best to deal with Cuba short of
Intervention by force is the question
to which the president Is devoting
most serious consideration. He has
taken the counsel of those best versed
In international law. The manner in
which Spain shall regard the action 10
Of secondary Importance. II Spain
shall seek an opportunity for war she
will not miss it. That Is what this
hurry Of preparation means. But in
all that he does to hasten the settle-
ment Of the Cuban trouble the presi.
dent desires to keep within the bounds
Of approval by the rest Of the world.
