What Love l..

POTTSVILEE. PA, Jan. 29.-The S,Wu
breach Of promise suit which MISS Emma
seldle. Of Frackvile, Instituted against
engineer Stuart Morgan, OF Mahonoy
pane. in court here, has created a zeal
of amusement. The letters in which the
defendant is alleged to have mailed "a
kiss for every word were more than
discounted by an acceptable and appar-
entity legal definition of love which was
given in connection with testimony before
Judge Lyon and the Jury.
Eugene Mengle publisher Of the Track
willie star was called. He said he saw
Morgan occasionally at Miss Seidle
home his Office being opposite. His
visits became more frequent shortly be-
fore she went west Re judged they were
more than friends and saw them walking
ike lovers, he having his arm around
her. once.
I'm answer to n question by lawyer
Wadinger as TO whether that was any
thing unusual in F'rackville, editor Men
gle answered:
Every few even Of the married men
in Frackvile ever put their arms around
their wives
lie admitted that the altitude OF Track
Vile was very high, and the winds were
strong. but he didn't think Morgan had
his arm around Miss Seidle's waist 10
prevent her from being blown away.
He couldn't say whether they were on
terms of friendship or love unless the
examiner Wadlinger would define the
terms.
Mr.. Wadinger said he could define the
latter but not the former, and pro-
ceeded TO give definition as follows:
Love is an inward. outward, mex
pressible all-overness."
Judge Lyon remarked: That is a very
comprehensive definition"
Editor Mengle then said: 81 do not
know whether they were friends OF
lovers"

Buying "Gums" In America.

for the same object A we'll known art
ist camo to an American city from Lon
don, and after becoming settled went
out to buy some artists materials. He
went to a stationery store, and after
purchasing several things said:
"By the way, do you keep gums?''
The saleswoman smiled
"No, indeed" said she, "but think
you can get them next door,"
The artist thought it was peculiar
that he could not get what no wanted
at stationer's, but thought perhaps il
was American. So he went next door
and found it was shoe store.
IA funny place to keep gums, "quoth
he, but in he walked and asked for
gums.
"What size do you wear?' said the
woman who met him.
That floored him.
"What on earth has that got to do
with it," thought he, but no discovered
that he wore sevens.
Soon the woman appeared, carrying a
pair of overshoes
"Will these suit your" said she to
the surprised Englishman.
II don't want those. I want gums,
something to stick with. 1t comes in a

ooh, you mean mucilage," said the

The English Patent Office Library.

If the poor inventor is not entirely
ignorant of patent procedure, be knows
that the patent office makes no search to
test the validity of his invention, and
so he comes to undertake it himself. If
he finds that his invention appears in
no previous patent, he is confirmed IA
his belief that he will at last see his
dreams realized and that he will in q
short time possess great wealth. If, on
the other hand, he finds his ideas have
been anticipated, his dreams of fortune
fade away like mist before a morning
sun, and life, as he has known it for SO
many weary years-hard, toilsome, pit
Hess to those who, like himself, lack
money-lies painfully clear before his
view.
A short three hours-or even less
spent in this library may plunge the
man who entered it hopeful and bright
into deepest despair, and it is certain
that within it's walls many silent TRACE
dies of this kind are enacted week by
week and noticed by only few if any of
those around. But inventors are a hope
full race, and though some who suffer
such IL disappointment of all their hopes
may never recover from it there is no
doubt many recommence their expert
ments and elaborate other inventions
from which they expect tho same, or
even greater, realities of wealth and
happiness. -Chambers Journal.

The Austrian Empress.

The old adage that Christmas eve
child is borf, to sorrow is illustrated in
the case of the empress of Austria, who
was born on the oath of December, 1887.
The Duchess Elizabeth of Bavaria was
married to Francis Joseph Of Austria It
the early age of 16, and was then con-
sidered the loveliest woman in Europe.
She was not we'll received by the great
families of Austria, who thought that
the emperor should have chosen bride
from more famous house than q ctl-
lateral branch of the Wittelsbachs of
Bavaria. The Hungarians, however,
went mad with cnthusi" SIN over their
beautiful queen and throughout her
reign have remained her devoted slaves.
She was passionately fond of riding and
for long spent portion of each year in
the hunting fields of England and Ire
land The breakdown of her health
compelled her first to forego this pleas
ure, and then she was debarred from
fencing and even from her mountaineer-
ing excursions. The unhappy marriage
of her only son and the refusal of the
pope and the emperor to consent to his
divorce preyed upon her mind, and since
his tragic death years ago at Mayerling
she has led the life of recluse. San

Mr.. Grow related story about Lin.
coin which illustrated two phases of the
martyr presidents character. Mr..
Grow, then speaker of the house, had
gone to the president to ask the appoint
ment of friend as judge in one of
the territories. The president made q
note of the request. A few days later,
when Mr.. Grow called at the White
House not about the judgeship, but
upon another matter, Mr.. Lincoln at
once began to apologize. "Mr. Speak

friend to that judgeship, but woman
came in here with nine small children
and one at the breast and pleaded the

"While we were talking, however,
Mr.. Lincoln said that he would still at.
tend to my matter and started to put
down my friends name. He went to his
hat, which was filled with papers, and
after remarking that he had queer way
of doing things began fumbling until no

Graceless.

A tiny girl of or thereabout gave a
dinner party the other day for which IL
covers were laid, and that number of
small maidens sat down to dine. It was
real little girls dinner, and the little
hostess herself presided, sitting at the
head of the table. But she was anxious,
in looking forward to it, to do every
thing as it should be done.
"Mamma, she asked, "shall we say
grace?"
"No," said mamma, cit will be q
very informal dinner, and I think you
need not do that"
That meant one less ceremony to be
como through and was relief, but the
little lady was anxious to have all her
small guests understand it. So as they
were gathered about the table she ox-
planned:
Mamma says this is such al Internal
dinner that we need not have grace to-.

Not Quito Certain.

A case was being tried in court, and
the particular question at issue was the
number of persons present when GER

pie minded German was in the witness
box.
He had never taken an oath before
