Mrs. Mark Hanna has love story,
though 1t happened many years ago
before her hair was silvered and be.
fore the senator tipped the scales al
quite his present figure, Though he
was always sturdy chap" Mrs.
Hanna will tell you.
This Is the tale, as 1t is told by a
Cleveland woman:
Mrs. H;fnna. then the young and
lovely heiress, Miss Rhoades, was des.
tined to marry man of wealth, pos.
sibly a title, for nothing was too good
for her.
Her brother, the historian, had his
place in the field Of letters. and the
family boasted no less than five ce.
lebrities in the world of art literature
and science, not to mention social
prestige.
"A course in a New York finishing
school was decided upon for her; and
upon her return she was to be launch.
ed into society to enjoy its brilliancy
free TO taste the cup of belledom to
it's sweetest drop.
But parents propose-and Mr.. Han.
na disposed. The senator, whose early
struggles and history are now well
known, fell in love with the young girl
in her first season, when the touch of
the finishing school was fresh upon
her and undimmed by the world. He
vowed he would wed no other.
I'm vain the parents pleaded. They
had other missions for their daughter
and one of these was year of social
life abroad.

'The mother consented. and / be.

But day and night the girl wept and
pleaded-just to he allowed to remain
at home. And the mother relented.
"Finally the hearts of both parents
were touched, and the father, too.
consented. And then came the mar
riage, when the young business man.
Mr.. Hanna, with nothing but love
and ambition. got he girl of his choice.
THAT was long time ago. and in
sickness and sorrow, and in the whirl
of political life, many changes have
come. Success has touched the career
of the man, and the wife has had a
chance to go into society, greater than
would have been her privilege had she

Wise Forethought of an Elephant.

One winter, at st. Louis, two ele-
plants We're stabbed in an clubhouse
near the writer's rooms. One warm,
bright day early in the spring one of
these creatures was brought out into
the alley behind the stable, in order
that it might be given bath. A
horse attached to a loaded coal cart
became frightened and ran at full
speed down the alley toward the ele-
phant. The latter heard the noiseand
saw the horse rushing toward him.
He seemed to take in the situation at
once; for, dropping to his knees, he
drew in his trunk beneath his body,
drew in his legs, and bowed his head.
The horse, in his mad rush, ran com
pletely over the elephant, dragging
the heavy cart with him. Beyond a
few slight scratches and bruises the
elephant was uninjured. Had it not
been for his wise foresight and his eff.
cient method of self-protection, he
might have been severely injured per-
haps killed by impact of the madden
ed horse and heavy cart. In this in
stance there was an undoubted mani
festation of correlative ideation. The
immediate adoption of the only eff
cient means Of avoiding injury clearly
demonstrates the truthfulness of this
assertion, especially so since There
was nothing instructive in the action
Of the elephant. In state Of nature.
elephants are not confined in narrow
alleys, neither are they charged by
runaway horses.

New 81 Notes Appear.

The 81 silver certificates of the new
uniform design that Secretary Gage
has arranged shall apply to each de-
nomination of bill, whether silver GER
tlfcate, Treasury note or United States
note, is being put into circulation and
are being quickly distributed to indi-
vduals and banks. The new notes on
both the face and back, show great
deal of white paper. On the face, the
central design is an American eagle
with outstretched wings guarding the
flag, background being view of the
Capital. Below are small portraits of
Lincoln and Grant. Each note has
printed in blue upon its face large
figure 81" and the treasury department
seal. The other figures denoting. the
denomination of the note are all large
and bold. Treasury notes and United
States notes are each to have their
denomination and seals printed IN a
distinctive color. Experts say the new
notes will be more difficult to count
erfeit than the last issue, which was
filled up with engraved work.

THE CAREFUL SERVANT,

General Wheeler Was Like All Other Men
to Him.
One of the Michigan officers who
was at the front during the brief war
had with him colored attendant who
was as proud of his place as though
he were commander-in-thief, and
whose ideas of military discipline were
rs rigid as those of the veriest mar
tinet. Owing especially to the thiev.
ing proclivities of some of the Cuban
hangers-on, he was under strict com.
mand not to let anything go from the
officers tent without a personal order
from him.
One evening as the officer and Gen.
eral Wheeler met some distance from
the camp, the general said, with n
smack of his lipe, II hear. sir, that
you received some very fine branded
peaches from home"
"Yes, general, they're prime, and
I'm going to send you some. Mean
time you had better stop at my tent
on the way in and have my man give
you can"
When the officer reached his quar-
ters he was approached by his at
tendant with an elaborate salute. and:
"Did you tell dat Gen'l Wheeler, sab,
dat he could call heah, sab, and pro-
Gu can oh dem branded peaches,

"Yes. OF course you gave them to
him?"

Chicago student who Mastered the Mys-
tery of the "J."
One Of the students Of the Univer-
sity of Chicago went to restaurant
on Jackson street with two friends
who had fought with the First regi-
ment at Santiago. Naturally they
talked of the war, and although the
student showed considerable knowl.
edge Of the campaign, his pronunci-
alton Of Spanish proper names was
bad. Invariably he gave the Spanish
'J' its English sound.
His companions who were better
posted on the Castilian tongue, stood
1t as long al they could, and finally
one Of them said: "See here, II you
want to talk war with us you must
pronounce those Spanish words as
they should be. Say San Huan' and
'Monteho, and remember that 'Hunta'
Is proper. Don't give the words the
u sound. There is no T. It's pro.
nounced 'H'-always."
"Oh. is It," returned the student
with n sneer of sarcasm, for he was
getting angry. "Then suppose your
name is Holm, not John as it used
to be before you went to Cuba; and
perhaps you want me to tell you that
this restaurant is on 'Hackson street
The derisive laugh that followed so
angered the student that he leaped to
his feet.

IFrom the Brockton Times, Oct. %

TFrom the Brockton Times, Oct. 10. '99.1
Brockton's prosperity is so closely
allied to the prosperity OF the shoe IN
dustry that it will, no doubt, prove
matter of interest to a large NUMBER OF
people to learn the actual average earn
ing capacity of each individual en-
pIoyed in the making Of the world
famed Brockton shoe For illustration:
At the factory of the w. Il.
Douglass Shoe company the pay
roll for the week ending September ~,
excluding superintendent. foreman,
statesmen and all clerical help,
shows the average earnings OF the EN-
ployes. large and small, to be $l5.54 per
week. This was not an extraordinary
week. 1t was the customary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, how
ever. does not always tell the story OF
prosperity. The number OF weeks en-
ployed each year Is the determining
factor in the wage earners' prosperity.
The Douglass factory has been closed
but one week this year, and that
for the usual summer stock taking. and
1t will be closed but three days the lat
ter part of December. This would make
but nine days out of the year that the
factory is closed, which Is surely as
steady work as the most industrious
shoemaker could desire.
Owing to increased business, another
addition Is to be made to the Douglass
factory. 1t will be 100 feet long, 40
feet wide, and five stories high. 1t
will be ready for occupancy early in De-
cember. This addition increases the
capacity 25 per cent. The w. L. Doug
lass Shoe Company has the largest fac
tory in the world, producing an adver-
tised line. $3.50 and $500 shoes.
Mr.. Douglass says that the prospect
for successful business for Brockton
manufacturers was never so good as
now, and that collections are better
than for years.
