Long Names His Adherence,

Rev. Charles Dalmer, pastor of Holy
Cross Catholic church at Baltimore, is
a man of peculiarities in many Things,
but his notions that strike some people
as odd are generally based upon sound
common sense. One of his pet aver.
sions is the bestowal of long names
upon children.
II don't believe in them,' he says.
''They make me tired. Sometimes peo-
pie come here with baby to be chris,
tened. l take it in my arms and ask:
What is her name to be?'
"'Amelia Ella Martha Washington
Jones', they answer.
''Then I look at them in a way they
don't understand and ask: What are
you going to call her when you want
her to stop playing with the matches
and go to bed?'
Ella they answer.
and I go on with the service and
christen the child Ella. I wouldn't load
the little things down with any such

christened that, and if it's any comfort
to them I'm satisfied. It's their fault

of New York yesterday at the St.
James Hotel. 1.-THE women of St.
Pierre dressed more gayly than in any
other part of the world I ever visited.
They wore many colors, and, strangely
enough, combined them quite harmon
iously.
There was practically no harbor at
st. Pierre, and the ships anchored a
short distance out at sea. AS soon as
our vessel came within hailing dis

boats would set out from shore They

had cocoanuts from which the ends
had been removed. Part of the milk
had been poured from the fruit and
replaced by rum. Cocoanuts prepared
in that way are quite delicious and in
great demand with travellers.

to be an air of gayety and abandon.
$$St- Pierre was located in a small in
denture in the shore line and it's
houses were queer affairs which
seemed like a lot of fancy blocks piled
up against the side of the mountain.
Many of the houses were whitewashed
or painted some very light color. They
were all short buildings of quaint
French architecture. Nobody worked
in st. Pierre any more than was neces-
sary. There were music and dancing
everywhere, and the immortality of
the city will probably lead many peo-
pie to suggest that Judgment has been
brought down upon the Inflated city,

learned thing or two in his time.
One of 'em was how to play poker,
and another was how to hold the best
hand. He was early on the ground at
Deadwood and he was winner from

There were some pretty slick
gamblers hanging out there in the old
days. They believed a good deal in
luck, but good deal more in lingering

"TO tell you the truth, her name is
= Lindon; but when Mrs. Tanner told
me about her I pointed out it might
not be pleasing to you that a name
sake of yours should fill such an hum
Bile position, and the young person
agreed to change the second letter Of
her name, and be Miss Lendon to the
world at large"
1T was very considerate of you,"
said the rich man coldly, "but you
have done me an incalculable injury.
My only child left her home on April
80, and though have offered a reward
for her recovery, and spent money law
ishly on the search, have never
found trace of her. The girl I saw
in the distance today is my daughter,
Beryl Lindon, and your protegee will
have to dispense with her services,
for of course I shall take her home
with me-
"Of course" echoed Mrs. Wilmot
suavely. And if Mrs. Tanner had
only known the truth she would have
communicated you with before"
Mr.. Lindon saw his advantage.
For reasons you will understand, I
do not care to seek my daughter at
Uplands. Perhaps, as her employer is
a protegee of yours, you can write in
her name requesting Miss Lindon to
return to Woodlands at once I will
meet her there, and no doubt every
thing can be amicably arranged. Nat
urally I do not want my private con-
Germs discussed all over Easthill, and
your advantage to assist me"
Mrs. Wilmot was only too willing;
but one difficulty lay in her way
how was she to word her letter? The
imperious commands she would have
laid on her sisters governess could
hardly be addressed to Mr.. Lindon's
heiress. The master of the Manor saw
her hesitation.
"You need not enter into particu-
lars" he explained. Just write that
Mrs Tanner Linden, Misunderstanding
to Woodlands tomorrow at 3 o'clock"
He slept soundly that night, for it
seemed to him that within, twenty
four hours his rebellious would feel
obliged by Miss Lendon-not daughter
would be safely in his hands. He lit
tie guessed the thrilling events even
then taking place at Uplands, or how,
after many days, his sin had found
him out. Very soon he would have to
admit the truth of the poets words:
Though the mills of God grind
slowly,
Yet they grind exceeding small.

Ferrnened Apples Work Of
x :IExG% Nt #H&% Cattle. =


Fifteen fine Jersey cows on the
Whitney Point Stock Farm went on a
disgraceful spree last Monday and al
most frightened the men in charge of
them out of their wits.
For a long time no one knew lust
what was the matter with the cows.
They went 'reeling across the fields
like lot of drunken soldiers, rolling
their eyes, and every once in while
giving vent to the most hideous bowls.
When they got tired they either
leaned against one another or against
the fences, and that was the way the
men found them when they screwed
up enough courage to go out in the
field and investigate.
A hurry call was sent to Bingham
ton for a veterinary, because there
was such unmistakable signs of suf-
fering on the part of the COWS that the
men thought they were poisoned.
When the veterinary took look at
the COWS he was puzzled. They were
glassy-eyed and tired. Those that had
fallen asleep were sleeping so soundly
that they couldn't be walked up even
with a pitchfork. The local veterin-
aries were called in to assist the man
from Binghamton, and the. three sat
up with the COWS all night long.
The next morning the COWS ap-
peared to be all right. True, most of
them looked a trife ashamed, but on
the whole they seemed in fair shape
and quite ready to go back to eating
grass and making milk. It wasn't un-
til the COWS were turned out for their

week is wagon-load of apples that

well, I'm clear dinged," said the
Blnghamton man. Il hearn tell on a
thing like this happenin' once afore
but never see it myself. Say, dyer
know what was the matter of them
COWS? Well, they was drunk from
them apples.
Now, see here. Them COWS has
two stomachs, and when you gave 'em
them apples they just loaded up the
second stomach, where they stores
things, like all ruminants does, with
apples. They kept them there till
they fermented and then they all got
drunk. That's just what was the mat
ter of them cows"
The logic of this explanation ap
pealed to the local veterinaries, and
they agreed as to the cause of the jag
Undoubtedly this explanation is the
correct one, as the COWS have been al
right ever since.-New York Sun.

CHAPTER XII.

While the girls were at the Manor,
and Harold was out on the farm, Mrs.
Dynevor had visitor. That was
nothing remarkable, for the gentle
mistress of the Uplands was popular
both with rich and poor. The 'coun-
ty'' visited her as frequently as if she
had been peeress, and her humber
neighbors liked to come and tell her
their joys and sorrows, sure that if she
could give little help in money her
sympathy was never missing. But this
particular visitor was utterly unex-
pected, seeing it was eight years since
Mrs. Dynevor had seen her, and nearly
seven since she had heard of her.

som would like to see you. She says
