dearly loves to tease Gladys about the
way Herman won his wife.
Ealing For a HnAhnnd.

When the parents Of q young man
in Russia decide that certain young
lady would make a suitable mate for
him they say nothing about the mat
ter to any one, but on some evening
they will drop around unexpectedly
to the prospective brides home and
will stay for supper. During the meal
they will keep a close watch on the
young lady. If she eats fast she will
perform her work speedily; if she
goes neatly and cleanly about her
plate she will perform her work
neatly and cleanly; if she does not
talk much, she will work and not talk
and prove faithful and obedient wife
to her husband; if she prefers rye
bread to white, she will be satisfied
with her lot; if she does not gaze and
stare at the visitors, she will be a wife
that will not continually pry into her
husbands business, and if she i'm
mediately proceeds to clean up the
dishes after the meal, she will bring
prosperity to her husband, and will be
economical with his money.
A most peculiar thing about the
marriage ceremony is the fact that
when the couple enter the church both
groom and bride make a dash for the
platform on which is the pulpit. 1t is
believed that the one whose foot
touches the platform first will live
the longer and that the children will
take after that one in size, health and
beauty.

A Case Of Hard Luck.

That is a good story they are tell
ing of fond father of this town and
a young man who was graduated at
Harvard last year. When this young
man was about to enter college four
years earlier his father gave him some
good parental advice as to how he
ought to conduct himself during his
college career, and, in order TO en-
courage him to avoid the vices that
beset college undergraduates, the
father promised his son that if he
would neither smoke nor drink during
his four years at Cambridge he would
make him a present of $4,000 on the
day Of his graduation. The young
man lived up to the lofty stand
ard set for him by his father, and
along with his de gree of bachelor of
arts he received $4,000 in Globe Bank
stock, then quoted at par. Shortly
afterward the bank was wrecked, and
now the young man is called upon
to pay an assessment of $4,000 on his
stock. Thus he has had his goodness
for his pains.

THE MAIDEN ANo THE wAlF.

He was just little Arab
In the street,
He had neither shoes nor stockings
On HIS feet;
She was rich and young and pretty,
And she murmured: "What pity,
He would starye here in the cltyl"
so she took him home and fed him,
Which was sweet.
Her father had villa
Far away,
Where the transparent waters
OF the bay
Gently beat against the strand,
Where the shells cleaned on the sand,
Where the birds sang sweetly, and
Where cares were never present,
Night or day.
She washed him and she dressed him
Up In style
Nearly every word he uttered
Made her smile
Then she took the little stranger
From the city's dirt and danger,
Thinking that she'd make granger
OF the urchin In a precious -,
Little while.
He had sojOurned in the country
Just about
Twenty minutes when he boldly
Started out
On a raft that he had found
And in veering II around
Got upset and would have drowned
II a neighbor hadn't chancedto
Hear him shout.
oh, he chased the frightened cattle
Here and there,
And he kent the chickens flying
Through the afr;
The horses got to shylng,
The neighbors got to signing,
The ducklings got to dying,
And 1t seemed that there was havoc
Everywhere.
He threw the maiden's kitten
In the we'll;
What he might do next no one could
The wheel came of the carriage
Ah, you should have heard her pa rage
And vehemently disparage
His daughters good intentions.
When 1t fell
He tumbled from the hayloit
And they thought
For a while that he was gone, but
He was notl
He had been there seven days
When they found the house ablaze
Aud her ma, IN skirt and stays,
Had to leap down stairs to keep from
Being caught.
He's once more a little Arab
In the street,
And he's full OF recollections
That are sweet;
She is rich and young and pretty,
But she's lost the gracious pity
For the homeless in the city
That she had before he took her
on her feet.

"But, putting that aside, what fault

Fault? L could not find a fault if

GRAYS WON IN A FIGHTING
fRSM The N N HAVEN TEAM.

Abusive talk to Referee Lynch by one
OF the Blues was practically the cause
Of New Havens defeat Saturday night.
The conteption started by Cunningham
scoring a goal before the other team
was ready. AS they had been given
proper warning of the referees inten-
tion TO blow his whistle for the next
rush, il was a good legitimate goal. as
usual every one OF the New HaVens
kicked like a steer, and Bone began to
use abusive language against The re-
ferls. which ultimately resulted in his
dismissal from the floor. Then Mooney
entered the game and made some foul
plays. which were noticed by Henry
Lynch and finally he was ordered
off the floor but was allowed to return
on consideration that he would be more
careful

TRIES TO FIND DAUGHTER.
Mrs. McCahsy Secures Trunk Be-
longing to TsSSie Howard.
Promptly Returns Il When She Finds II Is
Not Her Daughters.

A few days ago news OF the alleged
attempt Of young woman, named
Tessie Howard, TO commit suicide. was
published, and this caused Bridget Nc
Cahey OF Pawtucket. TO believe that
the young woman was her long lost
daughter. She called upon Lieut.. Hor-
ton at the Central police station, and
told him that her daughter Tessie had
run away with a man named Howard.
For some time she had not heard OF the
girl but her age would be the same as
that of the woman who attempted sui
eide.
Mrs. McCahey appeared to be so sure
that Lieut. Horton gave her the ad-
dress Of Tessie Howard, but Tessie was
not at home. Moved by Mrs. McCahey's
recital. her landlady became sympa-
thetic and an expressman was called,
and Tessie's trunk was carried to Mrs.
McCahey's home in Pawtucket. In the
meantime Tessie had again called on
Lieut.. Horton, and was told the story
of her mother. She appeared much sur
prised, ard told the lieutenant that her
mother died when she was child, ana
these other details were all strange and
In no way connected with her
affairs. The lieutenant sent for
the mother, but she had already gone.
Mrs McCahey, on her part, soon dis
covered from the contents of the trunk
that the woman was not her daughter,
and without any delay she returned the
property intact, and sent her son to ex-
pain matters.

SOFT COAL SCARCE.
Only Two Days Supply on Hand
Among Local Dealers.
Several CaTgoss Are Now Afloat and May
Arrive al Any Moment

Soft coal is so scarce in this city that
none Of il can be purchased here, ex-
cept by a few regular customers OF one
or two dealers. The other dealers have
none and there is said to be less than
two days supply in the city. Several of
the big mills are already burning hard
coal and the power house of the Nara
gansett Electric Lighting company Fri
day began the use OF broken hard coal.
The power house OF the Union Railroad
company is being supplied by regu-
lar dealer but the quantity In sisht
wall last very few days. The mills or
the American Wooden company, In Oh
NEVILLE, are burning bituminous coal,
SIMPLY because the mill managers
bought two cargoes of soft coal al the
wharves in this city last week. ana had
IL carted TO their yards ANA there
dumped in a large pile.
The facts of the case as already
stated in the News some weeks ago, are
thar the railroads have not cars
enough 10 carry the orders they receive.
The miners cannot bring the coal 10 the
surface fast enough. The mills cannot
get enough. Nearly all the dealers IN
this city have some soft coal on the
water now. aCd cargoes are eNpecIeu
by several firms at any minute. The
vessels are fog and storm bound, anu
have been for some days. The poorest
quality OF solft coal. sold ordinarily
