MY LITTLE LADY.

'My little lady" used to call her.
and the diminutive incensed her great
ly. "It is such an absurd name," she
would say, land besides. you know how
much l dislike any remarks about my
personal appearance. 1t is quite mis-
fortune enough to be SO ridlculously
small! without being reminded OF 1t con-
stantly."
"Ah. but one of these days you will
be great" would say, and she would
laugh happily at the prophecy-how
that happy child laugh Of hers rings In
my ears even now-and would accuse
me of blind Partially, which is" she
would remind me, quoting favorite
saying of mine. which was prone to
recur often in our many literary dis
cussions. "only another form of partial
blindness"
How shall I describe her. I wonder.
how put upon paper all the incongru-
Gus charm which made her what she
was.
To tell you of her appearance is to
belle her character, for the outward
being and the inner self had no sister
hood. save when now and again, at
some chance word that inspired a no.
BILE thought in her. the woman's glo-
rious soul peeped shoy out through her
blue eyes till they grew dark and deep.
and the warm glow of her divine in

poetry as I have!
At such moments she was beautiful

that bright angel face and listen
breathlessly for the words as they fell

And so was l until my little lady came

How we'll remember the first time
I met her!
i A silly woman who thought might

KEYSTONE WONDERS.
ODD THINGS AMONG MAN AND
BEAST.
Snake with Ono Body. Two Heads md
Two Tsiis-Thcn There's Bear That
Lugs ON a Big Pork Barrel. and u
Negro Who's Turning White.

One Darlington. a New Milford (Pa)
farmer, recently succeeded in capturing
a snake, or pair of snakes. hitched TO-
gether like the Siamese twins. The
reptile has two heads and two tails.
All the rest Of the body is like that OF
single snake. with the exception OF
a slight depression above and below
extending the entire length. The bod
les Join about six inches from the head.
Each tail is almost a foot long. Tho
length of the Joined body is two feet
nine inches. The twins were discov-
cred last summer by little son, OF
Darlington. who told his father about
them and showed him the track across
the road. Darlington ran across 1t a
few days ago when blasting a rock
and succeeded in taking it alive. The
twin snakes are jet black. with yell
low ring just behind the head. Both
mouths take food.
A Callicoon (Pa.) farmer bought a
barrel to pack some beef in. and left it
in the barnyard. one night recently.
Next morning 1t was gone. to his great
vexation, as pork barrels are not plen-
tiful in that neighborhood. There was
no one In the neighborhood whom! the
farmer suspected OF stealing It. and the
disappearance was a mystery that he
tried to solve for long time In vain.
The other day the secret came out.
Passing along scrub-oak ridge near
a brook he saw his missing barrel in
hollow. He went to the barrel. and as
he laid his hand on 1t there was grea.
rumbling inside and out popped bear.
which gave startled look and shut
fed away rapidly into the bush. There
was no explanation Of the presence OF
the barrel in that spot except on the
theory that the bear had stolen 1t In
the night and rolled it all the way to
the ridge. where the barrel had lodged.
for a snug resting place for himself.

Wayne counties had many stations OF

escaping from the South to Canada.
Among the slaves to escape was Tom
Harris. who was owned by Col. Harris
OF Culpepper. Va. AS soon as war was
declared. Tom returned from canada
to Wayne county. where he has since
lived. doing odd Jobs on farms. When
Tom came to Wayne county he was
as black as the ACE OF spades" but
for the last three years white spots
have appeared upon his person. and
today he is more than two-thirds white.
Each succeeding white spot is larger
and whittier than the one preceding. and
their coming is accompanied by in
tense pain and itching. Toms hair.

The people of Mohave county depend mostly on the
mines for subsistence although cattle raising is car
ried on to considerable extent. From the efforts
of "chloriders alone vast sums of money have been
taken from the mines and recent official statements
place our output of gold and silver at considerably
more than forty million dollars Since the advent of
capital attention has been called to vast placer fields
on the Colorado river, and companies have been or
ganized and work prosecuted to degree proving be-

Mail to be Weighed,

Postmaster Patterson has received
orders to weigh all mail matters origi-
mating or mailed in this office between
the dates of October 3rd and Novem-
Der. In the United States are $4,000
post offices, and all the mail taken
originally at each Office will be weighed
for the period of thirty five days.
The mail has not been weighed in
this manner and the purpose for
which it is now being weighed for the
past 20 years, October 1879, and the
government does not know whether
the railroads and other transportation
companies are receiving too much or
too little for. their services.
In 1879 the mail routes aggregated
a total of 10000 miles, while the
increase of the past 20 years gives the
country 174,777 miles. The cost of
handling the mails in 1879 was 81 $780,
600 while last year it was over s35, ,OO0,-
900. In the last 20 years the popula-
tion has increased wonderfully and
has become so unreliable and unsatis-
factory that new one will be es-
tablished.
The post masters are required to
make a report every twenty four hours
which is to be sent to the department
at Washington. Railroad, foreign
and domestic mail is to be kept separ-
ate, also the first, second and third
classes. The mail, sacks and locks
are to undergo thorough inspection.
Whether the railroads and transpor-
tation companies are getting too much
or too little for their services there
can be no question but the government
when it pays for the use OF mail car
which will last 20 years, as much for
its use one year as it's entire cost, that
that branch of the service needs
reforming, and the true and economic
reform is in government ownership Of
mail cars.
