Diedriect and Maggie.

A faded green market wagon was
down Littlefield Street, and on
oneside appeared, in faded gilt letters,
the world ''Diedriect & Maggie" 1t was
drawn by a sorrowful roam horse, be-
splashed with mud, and contained on
IT'S high front seat the two individuals
who made up the firm in question. and
were joint owners of it's assets and
prospects. Maggie Il know not Of what
extraction, but American bOrn,) though
Junior partner walls the elder Of the
two; he had a long, bOny, but not I'LL
intelligent face, of "a distinctly equine
cast; DfedGect, who sat on his left,
was slighter, blonde in type, and pos
sessed some pretensions to good looks.
Diedriect had a family; Maggie was a
bachelor; for which reason, perhaps
''You can unload, and load up, and
collect that bill, while I'm doing my
errands,'' said Diedriect.
''To be sure" responded Maggie, good
humoredly. The most Obliging and the
steadiest of men was Maggie.
Their destination was Brick Flats, a
manufac turing town seven miles out.
It was raw March day, the sun
breaking over the landscape in pale,
brassy CLEANS from under banks Of
plum colO1'ed cloud. AS they travelled
ON very slowly, they talked business
profit and loss, markets., the outlook
for trade, the merits of this and that
wholesale house, the ques ton of clerk
hire, the standing of certain custom
ems, and the prices of nails and picked
tripe. Evidently Maggie was the bust
headed, persistent, not without a
shreWd humOr of his own, or enjoy
ment of the humOrs of Others; while
his partner was far Quicker-witted,
sanguine, of a ready, well-whetted
tongue, and full of schemes for enlarg-
ing their operations, which made old
Maggie laugh.
So they travelled ON, arguing, weigh
ing, interrogating, throwing in one a
word here, and one a word there, set
ting off and off-setting each others lit
tie peculiarities, and looking to a fu-
tUre as well as a past fund of common
experience; while the wheels grew
heavier and the yellow splasles more
plentiful ON the horse, the wagon, and
the worn buffalo-robe drawn over their
knees.
II hope twill be better going when
we get ON the old turnpike,'' said Died
RECT at last
Il don't know ais to that" respond
ed Maggie, I'M a subdued voice, 1.-The
turnpike's apt to be kind O. bad when
it breaks up
And now they entered with due SOL
emnity upon the stretch of highway so
designated. Deep, but uns table, snow
drifts ON either side, whose whiteuess
mad given place to a nondescript uln-
Der tint, were oozing into rivers of icy
water under the force of the spring
wind. Whether the earth was freezing
or thawing it would have been hard to
say; George, the sorroWful horse, sink
ing over his fetlocks in a granite ten
inches deep, brought up his hoofs with
"a hollow gurgling from mudjuts he
meath, and, as they churned their way

on him like ropes, only his ears and
tail moved-his hoofs were stationary.
''We'd better light" observed Maggie.
He lighted accordingly; then, lifting
his companion over the wheel, buried
almost to it's hub, he set her gently
down on the nearest promontory that
seememd-to offer a foOthold; for the
Acute reader may have detected al
ready that Diedriect was a woman.
A woman of too adventurous spir-
it was Sally Diedriect ito be alarmed or
discomposed by the present emergency
She accepted the situation with the
ready philosophy with which she &C.
copied bad debts, or the fluctuations of
trade. Holding up her dress, she call
ed out suggestion or two ais to the
Tightening of Georges cargo, and did
not even protest when Maggie made use
of the hOrsewhip- he was as
kind-hearted "a man as ever breathed.
BY dint of much urging, persuasion,
and friendly encouragement, and
helping shoulder behind, the team was
started at last, but it STARTED with SO
desperate final heave-ho, ais of some
ter-logged mass dragged up from
the sea, THAT, alas, the whiff1e-tree
snapped short in the middle, and with
the Whiffie- tree the harness magically
flew apart to such an extent that any
horse but George, ON any road but the
Clay Turnpike, in amy month but
March, would have been the hero of
thrilling runaway.
George, however, paused; and Died
riect and Maggie stood and looked at
each other.

way, and Veil have to get help" OBJ

KIPLING LIKES AMERICA.
A Change In the Authors Mind Since
His Sickness.

New York, June 19-''The American
public" said an intimate friend of Rud-
yard Kipling today, undoubtedly knows
that Mr.. Kipling left this country with
a more favorable opinion of America
and Americans than was the case when
he sailed from New York three years
ago for his English home. But only
Kipling's intimate friends have even
moderate realization of the change in
his attitude toward America since that
first homeward trip.
"Kipling might not have voiced the
great difference in his feelings as he
said good by on the dock, but in the
period of his cOnValeScence from his
recent illness, and while he was win
ming back his strength in New Jersey
and on Long Island, his changed atti-
tude, unconsciously, perhaps, was mani

his thoughts. He entertains a more
kindly view of the world in general, he
sees in his friends and in his attend
ants admirable traits which he had not
fully appreciated before.
That was Kipling's case. He became
disposed to look upon the Americans,
whom he disliked when he left New
York three years ago, in a kind1ier
light. The opportunity to scratch the
skin and see what was beneath it had
been given to him his sick bed, and
he had not let the opportunity slip by.
He had felt the warm heart beats of the
Americans whom he had so pitilessly
held up to criticism, and had found that
at the bottom of his own honest Anglo
Saxon heart he liked them

VICTIM OF A MOB.
Colored Man With Story of Frightful
Outrages Reaches Topeka

William Wright, a colored man of
Wilmington, N C., is in Topeka today
on his way to Denver. He claims to
have suffered severely at the hands
of a white mob in Wilmington, as the
result of election troubles, and he has
documents signed by ministers and
physicians who knew him to substan-
tiate his statements.
Mr.. Wright's story is that a mob of
white men went to his house in Will
Inington on March 81, supposing that he
was there, but not finding him at home
they killed his wife, child and brother
On his way home an acquaintance met
him told him what had happened, and
warned him to flee, but instead of do
ing so he went on to find the bodies of
his wife and child. He found the mob
was still after him and fed into the
woods, but was discovered by six white
men who beat him with clubs and left
him for dead He afterwards recovered
consciousness and escaped to Washing
ton, where his injuries, the most serious
of which was a broken jaw, was healed.
He left there a short time ago to make
his way to Denver, where he has rela-
tiVeS.
The Topeka Ministerial union, which
met today, assisted him materially, and
also passed a resolution recommending
that others also help him

A PURPLE HUE
Cast Over st. Louis by Visiting
Elks.

ST. Louis, June 19.-This city is taking
on a purple aspect in honor Of the thir-
ty-first annual convention and reunion
of the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks, which begins here tomorrow.
That color, with the red, white and blue
of the national flag is to be seen every
where in the decorations on business
buildings and residences.
All the grand lodge officers have ar
rived and are making the Southern
hotel their headquarters. Every train
that comes into the city brings its quota
of visiting Elks and at noon it was
estimated that fully 1900 had already
arrived. After leaving union station,
the visitors are shown to the Lindell
hotel, the headquarters of the local re-
ception and registration committees,
where they register. From there they
are shown to their respective hotels. 1t
is expected that at least six thousand
Elks will be here tomorrow.
The sessions of the grand lodge which
will be held in the Olympic theater will
be secret. Several matters will come up
for action, the most important being the
constitution that was favorably acted
on at the last annual meeting in New
Orleans but rejected by the subordinate
lodges. 1t will be presented again to
the grand lodge and if favorabIy acted
on will be resubmitted to the Subor-
dinate lodges

SHERIFF WAS WARNED.
Prevented From Attending Church
by Mysterious Messages.

Sheriff Cook was hunting fight Sun
day but he was unsuccessful in his
quest He was uncertain concerning
the exact nature of the fight he want
ed, but he is certain if there had been
one to find he would have found it.
Saturday afternoon and Sunday
morning he received eight or ten mes
sages, sent to him by boys, stating that
there was to be a prize fight and a, cock
fight on Sunday at VineWood Park. Not
one of the MESA geS was signed, and
the messengers would escape before
Sheriff Cook could find out who had
sent them. Sunday morning he was
called up several times by telephone
and was given the same information,
but each time the informant refused to
reveal his identity, but would say,
Now don't claim that you didn't
have any warning about this business.
because you have had
Sheriff Cook finally concluded to drive
out TO Vinewood and see what there
was in the report. When he got there
he found about twenty men and boys.
They had some beer in a wagon, but it
hadn't been tapped and there had evil
IDENTIFY been no effort made to sell any
of it. He stayed with them for awhile,
and the beer was finally hauled back
to the city
Sheriff Cook also searched the local
ity for the reported fight, but could find
nothing that looked anything like
pugilist, and there wasn't a chicken of
any description in the neighborhood.
Finally, after the beer had been taken
back to the city, the few who were
there dispersed in disgust.

BRYAN WILL RUN.
Whether Democrats: Nominate Him
or Not

Chicago, June ia special to the
Tribune from Bath, Me, says:
George Fred Williams of Massachus-
etts. and State Committee Chairman
William s. McNary, have been in con-
ference here with Arthur Sewall, who
ran with William J. Bryan on the pres
idential ticket of the silver wing of the
Democracy.
They declined to be interviewed re-
garding their deliberations but Mr..
Williams, when asked concerning Sena-
tor Germans prospects for the presj-
dental nomination, said:
Mr.. German cannot have the Mas
sachusetts delegation. He can't have
single man of it, and he stands not
ghost of a show in getting the Demo-
cratic nomination
DO you feel confident that Mr. Bryan
viii get the nomination at the conven-
tion?" was asked.
I think Mckinley will be renomina-
ted and feel more sure that Mr.. Bryan
Will be, for, as I said before, il he and
the Chicago platform should be thrown
over. which is not in the least likely,
he would be nominated upon another
ticket
