A Happy Evening Spent.

A party, numbering four, of Dickin-
sons young people drove out to the
school of Miss Anna Ennis, nine miles
northwest of town, Wednesday evening,
where Miss Alice Campbell, who has
charge of a school about seven miles
from Dickinson, and Miss Ennis are
boarding. They have very cosy quar-
tiers neatly furnished in the school room,
where they do light housekeeping, and
seem to be enjoying life quite content
eddy. The young ladies treated their
guests to a dainty lunch, consisting of
coffee, cake, fruit and other good things,
which was very much enjoyed by the
visitors, and after two hours pleasantly
spent in social chatting, songs, etc., the
friends departed for their homes, feeling
that the evening had indeed been most
agreeably spent, and with one opinion
that the charming hostesses were ac-
complished entertainers, and A. No. /
cooks. Miss Campbell has a school of
20 pupils and is doing good work, while
Miss Ennis scholars number from 10
to IL, who are under her careful training.

The blood ON the Knife.

"For the last ten years." said a Gu
rio dealer in the Old Quarter, "a broad
bladed dagger with an imitation bronze
handle has been lying among a lot of
odds and ends in that corner showcase.
l don't know where 1t came from, but
l probably got it when buying some
collection. At any rate. the other day,
while looking owe my dead stock, it
occurred to me it might be FURNISHED
up and used as a paper knife. took
it out, scraped the handle a little to see
what it was made of and then laid it
on my desk to attend to q customer.
"When I picked it up again, ] was as
founded to find the blade dripping with
blood. 1t seems a childish thing to tell,
but the incident was so grewsome and
apparently inexplicable that it set me
trembling like q leaf. In a moment,
however, my common ems came to
the rescue, and what proved to be the
correct explanation flashed into my
mind.
ut was a trick dagger, for use either
on the stage or in some secret society
mummery, and the hilt contained q
hidden reservoir for artificial blood.
In scraping the side l had pressed q
spring which opened a little valve, and
out. came the gore, still fluid, after all
these years. I afterward found that
the top unscrewed for replenishing the
supply."-New Orleans Times-Demo-
crlt.

Peculiar Coincidence.

A very peculiar coincidence, to say the
least, is noted in the report Of the deaths
of three members of Modern Woodmen
Camp. No. 1886, Watson, Kan, which &C
CURED on May 5. The men were Frank
r. Cox, Sherman B Cox and VIM. !.
Whitlow and their certificates of men,
bership in the Woodmen were respec.
lively numbered l6l.524, i61,s25 and
I6I,532, in the amounts respectively of
$1,000. $4,000 and $1,000. All three
joined the Woodmen society at the same
time, their certificates issuing on Novem-
Der 20, 1894, making their duration in the
society 5 years, 5 months and is days.
AT the time of becoming members all
three made their certificates payable to
mother" Later all three got married
and changed their certificates from
"mother' TO "wife." According to the
report of their deaths received at the
Office Of the society in Rock Island, ILL.,,
the men were out fishing in Wakarusa
creek on the 5th day of May. The boat
was upset, and all were drowned. To
round out the incident all three were
buried at the same time from the same
church.

Accommodating diseases.

Perhaps the record for school attend.
ance belongs to a Walworth lad named
Thomas Ward, who was never absent
or late during his II years Of school
life, beginning with his fourth year.
The local member of the school board
for London tells the story that when
the proud boy received the attendance
medal for the eleventh year, which
had to be specially struck to meet his
case, the mother was questioned as to
how her boy had been able to make
so remarkable q record.
"Has he had the usual children's
complaintsY she was asked.

"The measles"

"Whooping coughY

Mr.. Morss wanted 10 have him there
he must have suspected, unless
his mental perceptions are exceed
ingly dull. Certainly IL was not because
Mr.. Morse loved him and wished TO help
him to a good thing. Hard headed bust
ness men don't help strangers TO get into
a good thing on the ground floor in con-
sideration Of love and affection. They
get them In because they are worth some.
thing to them. Sometimes 1t is for theii
business ability, their shrewdness or their
command Of big capital. There Is nc
reason for attributing any Of these
motives In this case. Van wyck has
never been distinguished for business
ability or for shrewdness Of any kind
nor is he in possession OF very large CAPT
tai. But while he had none OF
these things, he did have one thing that
would be of great value to the trust, and
this was power, not personal power, but
official power, power that was his because
he was at the head of the great munich
pality Of Greater New York. The trust
hoped to do q good business with
this municipality and its people.
What more natural than to make
itself solid with the head OF II
by making him partner. Van wyok
with an air Of innocence testified In
effect that he had no suspicion that the
interest of the trust magnates In him
was dictated by any sinister motive In
short he pleaded the baby act-but Of
cours no human being would believe
for n moment that man who had trav
eled all his life with the hooters and black
mailers of Tammary hall could be Sd in
nocent as that. Not man In New York
but believes that the Mayor knew perfect
ly well what he was wanted for, and that
he went into the thing with his eyes wide
open What he did not anticipate wa,
getting caught--especially getting caught
at so unfortunate time, for Mr.. Van Wyck
is not only still in office with his expos
ure coming while he Is in place where
every body can see him, but he Is booked
to go as a delegate to Democratic con
convention at st. Louis and there join
with the others In denouncing trusts.
One can scarcely conceive of worse
punishment than to BIZ compelled to stand
up before an assembled multitude every
one of whom knows your pockets are
stuffed with stolen goods, and deliver n
lecture ON honesty and indulge In a stir
ing denunciation of stealing. Van wyck's
condition is analogous to this. With
his pockets stuffed with stock-certificates
