DAYS.
A Emporium girl found package OF
love letters that had been written to
her mother by her father before they
were married. The daughter read
them to her mother, substituting her
own name for that of her mother and
a fine young man for that other father.
The mother jumped up and down III
the chair, shifted her feet, seemed ter
ribly disgusted and forbade her daugh-
ter having anything to do with a young
man who would write such sickening
and nonsensical stuff to a girl. When
the young lady handed the letter to
her mother to read the house became
so still chat one could hear grass grow
ing in the back yard
The rumor that Hon. 9. w. Stone
will be appointed ASST. Sec. of the
Treasury, in case of vacancy in that
Office, is very gratifying to his friends
in the 9th district. 1t is said that
Asst Sec. Howell is slated for an ap
pointment on the Board of General
| Appraisers at New York. A cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Press says
that IN case of Howelrs appointment
his successor in the department may be
! Representative G. w. Stone of Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Stone could not be seen
tonight, and the Pennsylvania mem
! bers who were seen declared that the
appointment would be an ideal one, al.
though they had heard nothing about
it. 1t is agreed that if the selection
is made it will be personal choice OF
President Mckinley.
