it is said that most of the old gran
MES who draw salaries as supreme
judges live up TO the limit of their

saving is the only way a supreme

my for four years and earned the right
to wear badge of the Grand Army Of
the Republic, aud his service in the ar
my makes him peculiarly fitted for his
position of editor Of the Grand Army
organ Of the department Of Nebraska.
A few days ago Dr. Britt was telling
of one Of his ministerial experiences. II
occurred years ago in Illinois.

1878 DR.. Britt retired to bed in well

girl has steadily refused him up till
three hours ago an as he's got to start

Dr.. Britt had been married just long
enough TO appreciate the situation, and
finally consented to go. He wrapped
himself up as warmly as possible and
took his place Oh the spring seat Of tbs

thawed out he performed the marriage
ceremony.
The next morning the bride and
groom started for South America and
rode to the railroad station in lumber
wagon with DR.. Britt. The doctor went
to the station with them, and just be-
fore the train departed the groom called
him to one side and thrust sealed en-

FINANCES OF WEST VIRGINIA.
The State Treasurer's Reports Shows
Fine Balance.

/ CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 70
The balances made up in the State
Treasury on December 81 show bal
ances covered as follows: State fund.
$l56, 697. 40; general school fund. $50.
647.36; school fund, s232, 73s. A.
making a total OF 1894, 0s0.3 The
income Of the State treasury will be
large this month, due to the collec-
ton OF railroad taxes, licenses, etc.
These will probably amount to more
than $500, 900, making the balance on
the first of February more than ST.
900, 900.
The 1892, 1885, AZ reported as the
school fund balance is only cash
portion of that fund, the total in
GLIDING Understanding securities now
exceeds 800, 200 which yields for the
support of the public schools for the
State from $40, 900 to $45, 900 yearly.
The general 10 per cent levy is in adj
dition TO this, and yields about the
same amount, so that West Virginia
receives each year about $50, 900 for
the support of its free schools.
