1T MAD- "'M WEEP.

But He Gave H. -.-~....er with q Clear
Conscience.
Delaney Wallingford hesitated with
the hand upon the knob of the door to
the private Office, says the Cleveland
Leader. He was about to ask Henry
Faversham for the hand of his beauti-
ful daughter. For a moment the young
man was inclined to procrastinate, but
he drew himself together at last and
walked in. The rich man received him
kindly and asked him to sit down. Be-
fore Wallingford had begun upon the
subject that was nearest his heart,
however, the voice of Mrs. Faversham
was heard in the outer office and her
husband requested his visitor to step
into an adjoining room until the lady
had got through with him. Look
here" said the mother of the only girl
that Delaney Wallingford had ever
loved, as she rushed into her husbands
presence, Il want you to give an ac-
count of yourself! You didn't get
home until long alter the hour set
for you last night, and you have a
guilty look. Who's that young woman
out there in the front off1ce-that
brazen thing with clothes that are too
rich for any working girl to wear?
Where do you intend to take your
lunch today? I'm going to 90 along
with you! Here, I need $3.50. Indorse
this check. Let me see those letters
In that pigeon-hole! You're up to
something, Henry Faversham, and I'm
going to find out what it is! Discharge
that girl out there and get homely
one! I'll be down here again tomor-
row to see whether you have obeyed
my orders or not. When you get home
tonight-and see that you're on time
I'll have some more to say to you. Re-
member, expect you to come to MUIR
kle's for lunch. I haven't time to talk
to you this morning. Give me those
letters you have in your pocket!'
One Of her lady friends was waiting
for her outside in the carriage, so she
had to leave him long before she had
finished her remarks.
When Mr.. Faversham was alone
again Delaney Wallingford returned
and sat down in front Of the benevo-
lent-looking old gentleman who asked
him to proceed with the business in
hand. your daughter, Gladys" the
young man said-"we love each other.
have come to ask you for her." There
was deep pity in the look that Henry
Faversham bestowed upon his visitor,
and, after long silence. he said: "I've
always had "a sort Of liking for you
I've thought you were pretty sensible
sort of chap. You heard what was said
in here few minutes. ago, didn't you?
Delaney confessed that he had heard
it all. well. all right, then. Ny
conscience is clear. Take her, and
may the Lord have mercy on your
soul Her mother was sweet and timid
once!' When they shook hands De-.
lancey Wallingford saw tears in TN
old mans eyes.

a RUSTIC FOURTH.

O Fourth July's the finest day of any in the

At least that's how it allus seems to me,
You swell your chest an take breath, and
find you're breathin' freer,
Ez though the air wuz full of liberty.
Ehe crackin' O. the crackers goln' off by
packs and packs.
The cannon boomin' at the break O. day,
les sort O sends a joyous little shiyer NJ
backs,
The big men of the country give US Patrick
Henry's speech,
An then recite the Declaration too,
An the crowd throw up their hats an cheer
with ardor, after each
Patriotic orator is through.
An then the silver cornet band (the town
ships JOY and pride)
Inspirin' airs appropriately play,
An the bangin' an the poppin' start agar
on every side,
An the only thing to holler Is "hooray."
An after bit when darkness comes, the
fireworks fiZZ an spout
An Chinese lanterns twinkle midst the
trees,
An In the shadders pretty girls are saun
term about
With rounded waists an dimpled hands
to squeeze.
An then wunst more there's music from
the silver cornet band,
An down the floor the dancers all sashay
Eyerybody's wantin' pardners-eyery fel

An the only thing to holer is MORAY.

1865 and 1876, prices of fireworks had
gone down, and the estimate of money
spent in the same reached up to a phe-
nomenally high figure. A Centennial ex-
position added to the excitement of the
period, and the Fourth of July, 1876, is
perhaps the best remembered by many
people over reach Of quarter Of a
century.
The younger group Of patriots may,
therefore, be INDUCED in their efforts
reaching out to make Independence Day,
1898, 4 notable Fourth. The Cuban fer
yor has invaded every home, every work
shop, every schoolroom. Scarcely a pre-
paration but the "Cuba Libre!' idea has
infused and influenced it. With patriot
ism at high tide, pride and glory in a
martial way displayed at close range, for
the boys and girls Of America for the first
time, the present Fourth of July will
probably be, in years to come, as cherish
ed as was the Centennial to the children
OF veterans, and the close of the war cele-
bration to their veteran sires.

Foreign Flags in America.

The first flag to float over American soil
was the royal standard of Isabella, en-
blazoned with the arms of CASTLE and
Leon. A white flag with a green Cross
was its companion. Some years after
Columbus landed at San Salvador the
Cabots planted the banner of England
and of st. Mark Of Venice on the eastern
shore of North America. In the 400 years
that have interviewed since variety Of
national flags have waved where now
only the Stars and Stripes is the accept
ed emblem. Over Texas have foated the
French. Spanish, English, American and
Confederate; in Louisiana, the lilies oS
France, the Spanish flag, the tri-color, the
American and Confederate flags; in Cali
fornia, Spanish, Mexican, Russian and
American.

Evidences that July 4, 1898, Will Live
Long in History.
There have been two celebrations of the
Fourth of July within the ken of those or
abe past generate that have been quite
notable.
All along the line since the Mexican
war, political. anniversary or national
events that were timely have made hide
sendence Day more or less conspicuous,
bpt in no sense commemoratiyely so. The
Two occasions referred to were the Fourth
of July signalling the close of the war
Of the rebellion, and that of the Centen-
NAL year, 1876.
The issues of the civil war had been
very great and solemn, and the sad and
she practical cut some figure in making 1t
yather day Of heartfelt gratitude and
Aappy reunions to these who had taken
nart in the conflict. However, the sons
of veterans gave the occasion due eclat
70 far as noisy jolli6cat;on was concerned.
That day will be remembered by many
now lust crossing the slope CT life. A
great deal OF powder was burned up, some
magnificent orations, and notable gath
erinss formed part of the general event,
and Independence Day that year marked
cutie an epoch and milestone in the his
tory of the same.
The Centennial year, 1876, came in nois-
by, with guns. bells and whistles, en-
Dloyed to their full demonstratiye capac-
Sty, and New Years day was reproduced

The 100000 which we burn up In

Triple Crime by Burglars.

The family Of Thomas Seldom, a farmer
living two miles northeast of Pepin, went
into town the other day to attend the re-
union of the G. A R, leaving their daugh-
ter Mary, 1G years old, at home. About
3 o'clock word came that the house had
been burned. The family at once hurried
home and found the house a smoldering
ruin, and investigation disclosed the char
red remains Of the girl in the cellar. There
was $500 in the house, 1886 in gold and
the rest in silver and paper. No trace
of this money can be found. It is believ-
ed the girl was murdered and the house
robbed and burned to cover the crime.

Body in q Lake.

The body of Thomas Fitzgerald, who
was drowned in Delavan lake June 5, was
found by some fishermen floating in q
little cove near Lanfels, s. south shore
resort. Fitzgerald had gone to the lake
with Michael Whalen and the two went
from place to place up and down the lake
drinking and carousing all day. At one
place they had an alteration. The last
time Fitzgerald was seen alive was when
he left Hoag's saloon to row across the
lake with Whalen. Whalen was found
on a hotel piazza asleep. He said when
aroused that Fitzgerald was at the bot
tom Of the lake. Whalen's stories were
SO contradictory that he was held in the
county jail. The medical examination Of
the remains disclosed number of gashes
on the head.

the design consisting of alternating red

stars on background of blue was shown
to her by the commander-in-chief, who
asked if she could make such a flag. Betsy
replied by suggesting that nve-pointed
