them TO dinner. Mr.. Thompson could
not flnd words enough to express hla
regret and sympathy for the sorrow
overhangng the household, but he
saw no reason why he should not have
a comfortable meal on that account.
lie thought 1t perfectly natural that
Edward should excuse himself and re-
main In the drawlng-room, No one
could feel offended with the grief
stricken nephew, but he himself dis
cussed all the more eagerly the good
things set before him, and was ably
supported by his clerk.
The old gentleman only regretted
Doctor Backwood's absence, and ad-
mired the sense Of duty which would
not permit him even to appear at din
ner He was Just giving his factotum
discourse concerning this dlstln-
gulshed physician, at the same time
helping himself to a large piece OF
roast meat. His factotum listened
most dutifllly and took a still larger
slice, when the subject OF the con.
versation suddenly entered
"Ah, there you are, Doctor Black
wood!" cried the Judge, "Slt down.
Unfortunately you have come a little
late. We have had the roast serv-

The doctor bowed in the most
charming manner, and signed to the
servant, who had just brought In the
dishes, to leave the room.

turb you, but there Is business mat

Mr. Thompson dropped his knife
and fork and stared at the speaker In
the utmost astonlshment.
"The ceremony Is put Off. Mr. Har-

compelled to defer 1t for the present" ,"

the spirits OF those olden rites are not
to be flppantly consigned to oblivion
On every hand the Valentine Sprite
uprises, an avenger for any slight,
however small, which is offered to her
patron saint.
In the midst OF your soothing you
hear whisper at your heart. You
blush and sigh and frown, but you lis

arrow point.
Love, love, be wholly mine;
Come and be my valentine!"
How did the music of It get into your
brain? From that time forth you sigh

the Valentine Sprite exacts. In the
end you are left wailing in the soli-

Love, love, be wholly mine;
Come and be my Valentlne!"
But II may not be.
While for you, spirit of manly love,

The Democrats have selected July 18th
as the date Of Their national convention.
This is two months later than the Popu-

nominate Bryan the Populists will have
some ground for claiming that the

preferred to have the situation reversed,
but the Popuiists chose SO early a date
that It was practically impossible for

There Is good ground for snspeotir g

work 10 now going actively on to that
end. The club holds meetings every
S unday In Its hall on Main street. and ID
being addressed by well know clergym men
and Others. It aims to work for new
