Unhappy Gretchen.

Herr Kruegers daughter Gretchen

met on the village street, reports the
Richmond Dispatch.
Well, yoodge," said Kruegel, how

THE BEST AUTHORITY.

They say that worldly goods and
gauds
Are all that's worth the while"
They say romance is out of date,
And love is out of style;
They say bright tiara's gems
Will solace any throe;
But Philip, blue-eyed Philip,
He does not tell me SO.
They say that lovers strongest vows
Have proved but brittle things,
That Love must fly, since Art por-
trays
The .4,cle god with wings;
That youths fond fancies quickly
That men inconstant grow;
But Philip, faithful Philip,
He does not tell me so.
They say that one should only think
OF lofty birth and place;
They say it makes one thrill with
pride
To set the social pace;
1uey say d SotCdSe III Inv 9AC1
Must be forlorn and slow;
But Philip ardent Philip,
He does not tell me so.
[ let them pirate of pride and pelf,
care not what they say,
o heart of mine! tomorrow sun
Shall light our wedding day.
Within our cottage, Love. content,
Shall ever bide. I know;
For Philip dearest Philip,
He says it shall be so.

WANDERING LITTLE FEET,

The pitter-pat of little feet,
Is very nice indeed,
And keeps these grown-up hearts OF
ours
From going quite to seed.
There is no music in the world
That one would rather choose;
But, goodness, how it takes the cash
To buy the darlings shoes.
The pitter-pat of little feet
Is sweet in every way.
But then you know the time is short
They make their music gay.
And if by chance it is a girl.
Some morning you'll awake
She's making music some place else,
And you your own may make.

CHAPTER Xiv.

| Lady Laura Wynyard had shown
her husband one letter. There was
another and more explicit one which
she carefully hid from him. 1t ran
thus:

my beloved mother. and then [ will
explain all what now must seem like
"a cruel mystery to you.
From your loving child,
Angela
Lady Laura wondered even more
when she read that note. What
could it mean? What connection
could there be between the will she
had made and Angela's leaving home?
Fortunately for her, not the faintest
suspicion of the truth occurred TO
her. She was one of those dreamy
creatures who seldom realize a thing
unless it is put before them in start
ling cOlOrs or in emphatic words.
Lady Laura Wynyard thought of the
Will she had made and of Angela's
flight from home, but could not see
how they bore upon each other. If
any one had pointed out to her that
the viii she had made gave her hus-
band the greatest interest in her
daughters death, and that her own
death would make him a rich man.

rested and implicated another man who
thus far has eluded the police.

Court Hears Arguments in Suit In
volving Valuable Lands.

Judge Clabaugh has taken under consider

Ward for the petitioners, and District At
torney Gould. Assistant Attorney Classic
and Special Assistant Attorney John S.
Chapman for the government, the petit
ton of the Riverside Oil Company and the
Cormas Exploration Company for manda-
mus to compel the Secretary of the Interior
to issue patents for some valuable oil lands
in California.
The cases arise under the lieu land
law which permits the owner Of land in
a forest reservation to relinQuish his lands
and select in lieu thereof other vacant land
open to settlement.
The petitioners contend that by vacant
lands is meant vacant of record" and by
the application stating that fact title to
the lands in question vested in them.
The Secretary, on the contrary, says that
the lands must not only be vacant of
record, but non-mineral and unoccupied, as
such lands are not open to settlement. He
accordingly required a non-mineral and
non-occupancy affidavit, which the petition
ers did not furnish. and therefore no title
vested.
At the conclusion of the argument Judge
Clabaugh stated that he would announce
his decision June %.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.
Code of Laws for the Govern
ment of fMunicipalities.

Columbus, o., Aug. 26.-The Ohio leg
islature convened at three p. m. Mon.
day in extraordinary session to enact
laws to provide for the government of
municipalities and TO restore lost jur-
isdiction to the supreme court, these
matters having been rendered chaotic
by the action of that court during the
early summer.
In his message Gov. Nash first calls
attention to the act passed last May,
depriving the supreme court of nearly
all the appellate jurisdiction formerly
possessed by the court. The repeal of
the act is recommended.
The governor then traces briefly the
history of constitutional government
of municipalities in Ohio and advises
that the legislature ignore the re-
quests for a constitutional convention.
He then submits his ideas of the neces-
sity of the situation in the form of a
municipal code bill. the enactment of
which he recommends.
