"That you actually know that the

Certainly I do. I saw him put 1t in

Bell looked at the speaker with
blank surprise. II such was the fact,

exactly opposed to all that she had
said before. She sat opposite to Bell.

"It would have been but for you"
Bell murmured.

so. And perhaps Lord Littimer would
have given you In custody on a charge

SIGNIFICANCE OF A NAME.-A Pnlla-
delphian who has just returned from
an extensive tour through the East,
tells a good story in which he was one
of the principals. He was one OF par
ty at a banquet rendered to the Ma
harajah Of Paiala, at which nearly loo
guests, representing nearly every
branch of Indian life, were present. AS
special guest, he was seated on the left
of the Indian potentate. During the
meal he noticed that the latter partook
of some fine Cumberland ham, ana
knowing that it was contrary to the
Indian caste rules to eat any portion
of a pig, he, without thought, asked
high highness how it was that ne was
eating ham. The Maharajah looked
at his plate, then turning around to
his body servant standing at the back
of his chair, said: What am l eat
ing?"
The servant instantly replied, NUT
ton. Sahib," and without referring to
the incident again the Maharajah con-
tinued his meal.
After the banquet the Philadelphian
related the incident to an Indian judge
and the latter said: "If that servant
had said ham, he would have been
headless before tomorrow morning.

WHALES LEFT HIGH AND DRY.-A
school of eight whales, one large and
the others quite small, entered the har-
Dor Of Port Royal few days ago and
got into trouble near Paris Point.
They were feeding near the shore and
six of the smaller ones entered a
slough at the deepest point.
The big whale came next, and Is SUD-
posed to have touched bottom, for she
made a mighty founder, churned up
water and mud and finally succeeded
in turning around in the narrow chan
mel flanked by mud banks, and went
plunging to sea, accompanied ty one
small whale.
Those enclosed by the mudbanks
were not so fortunate. The tide was
rapidly ebbing and they did not take
the alarm till cut off from retreat.
Their frantic charges oneway and an
other only got them further out Of wa
ter. All perished before low tide.
There are no conveniences in that
section for securing the oil, so what
would have been a very valuable find
in some other quarters has gone to
waste.
These are the first whales that have
appeared in Port Royal for many
years.

New WAY TO MARRY PEoPLE.-An
elderly minister is fond Of telling OF
"break" he once made at double we'd
ding Of two sisters. 1t was arranged
that the two couples should be married
with one ceremony, the two brides re-
spending at the same time and the
two bridgegrooms doing the same.
There had not been any previous re-
hearsal, as the minister had come a
long distance and reached the churcn
but a few minutes before the time FOR
the ceremony.
All went we'll until it came time Tor
the minister to say, And now 1 pro-
nounce you man and Wife"
It suddenly became obvious to the
minister that the usual formula would
not do in the case of two men and two
wives. and he could not think of any
way of making man" and wife" plu-
raj in the sentence. In his despera-
tion and confusion he lifted his hands
and said solemnly:
And now I pronounce you, one and
all, husband wife!"-Lippincott's Mag
azine.

"It's MOrgan's."

The following from the New YORK
Mail and Express, was read by MT.
Clarence Dallam, representative OF the
governor of Kentucky, during the ex-
ercises in the Louisiana purchase
building at the Charleston exposition

AT Speaking of Republicans who are
trying to be protectionists and free
traders at the same time, Representa-
tive Fordney of Michigan tells this
story, according to the Washington
Post:
"They are like an old root doctor
out in my district" he says, who
went to see a man who was i'll with
ague. He fixed up two classes OF
medicine for fever and one for
.chills,' as he said to the mans wife.
But she said, they are both alike.
I saw you scrape the bark off that root
and put the same bark in each glass;
"'But you did not notice how I did
it, replied the doctor. For chills
scraped the bark up the root, and that
makes it high-cockalorum. For fever
I scraped it down the root, and that
makes it low-cockalorum. Don't you
see?'
And with this explanation" says
Mr.. Fordney, 1.-The good woman had to
be satisfied"

A MARK TWAIN SToRY.-Two Eng
lishmen were discussing with Mark
Twain the old topic Of American hu-
NOR as not appreciated by foreign
ers.
But are the English really so OBJ
tuse?" asked one Of them.
"Obtuse! You can't get an idea
into an Englishman's head with sur
gical operation" declared Mark Twain.
The questioner remained In solemn
thought for moment. Then he broke
into a hearty laugh.
Quite delicious joke" he exclaim-
ed. Though Of course If you were to
open the Englishmans skull you
would kill him, would you not?"
Mark Twain turned to the second
Englishman. What did tell you
He wants to know whether it wouldn't
kill him!"
The countenance Of the second Eng
lishman was like blank wall
wouldn't it?" he queried.-New York
Times.

REASONS FOR TARDINEss.-Teachers
who require written excuses for tardi-
ness from parents Of pupils sometimes
receive very amusing notes. Here are
a few specimens from a number re-
ceived sometime ago: Dear Sir, please
forgive Billy for lateness. I kneaded
him after breakfast" A second note
reads: please forgive Billy for tar
diness. I was mending his coat The
third excuse goes more into details:
Mister sir, my Jason had to be late
today. It Is his pizness to milk our
COW. She kicked Jase in the back to-
day when he wasn't looking or thlnkin'
of her actin; so he thot his back was
broke, but it amt. But it is black and
blue, and the pane kept him late. We
would git rid of that cow If we could.
This Is the fourth time she kicked
Jase, but never kicked him late before.
So excuse him for me-"
A girl absent for half day brought
the following excuse: Miss teacher
My dotter's absents yesterday was un-
ayoidable. Her shoes had to be half
soled and she had a sore-throte. Her
konstitushun is delikit and If she IS
absent any more you can knew that 1t
is on account of unavoiabel sickness
or something else" A boy absent for
half a day laid the following explana-
ton on his masters desk: Dear SIR
please excuse Henry. He went to
grandpapa's funeral with me this tore-
noon. I have been promising him for
several weeks that he might if he was
good, and he has been very good, so

HANNA'S FAITH IN RATHBONE.

Honest Friend In Trouble.

Many-sided Mark Hanna turned
new facet for public inspection, says
a Washington dispatch to the New
York World. He deposited 100000 in
government bonds-his own govern
ernment bonds-with n Maryland trust
company to secure the release of his
friend, Major Estes G. Rathbone, from
a Cuban prison.
The senator asked nobody to help
him. He made no show about it. He
simply went to his strong box, took out
100000 worth of United States bonds
and handed them over to this trust
company as a guarantee that Rath-
bone would not leave Cuba while his
appeal for new trial is pending.
There are few instances in the his
tory of politics in this country where
one man mas gone so far for another
man. Very few persons doubt that
Itathhone was mixed in the Cuban
postal frauds, which brought such Il

FRED DAVIS DEAD.
A Respected Pioneer Citizen of Hannah
Passed to His Reward.

Sunday morning at an early hour, at
his home at Hannah, occurred the death
of f. H. Davis. The summons came
after brief and severe illness, immedi-
ately due to rheumatism of the heart, a
weakness to which the deceased has
been subject for some time. Mr.. Davis
has been resident of this county for
nearly seventeen years. First coming
here from Ontario in 1886 to engage in
farming in the western part Of the
county, where he resided until coming to
Langdon a couple of years later to accept
position in the store OF ,. ., Boyd.
When the railroad was built to Hannah.
and branch store established there by
Mf. RayQ, the business at thatpoint was
place under the management OF Mr.
Davis, who since then has figured as one
of the leading and successful merchants
of that town. The deceased is under
stood as being about in his fortieth year
at the time of death and the positions
of responsibility he has filled during
the entire length of time that he has
been a resident of this county have
shown him to be a commendable citizen
of the community in which his lot was
cast. His life in the home circle with
his AGED mother and sister leaves be-
hind many pleasant memories for those
left to mourn and are able more fully to
appreciate his many excellent traits OF
manhood. Here in Langdon where Mr.
Davis and his mother and sister for
number of years made their home, the
event is mourned by large circle OF
! friends,
Tho funeral which occurred TUESDAY
forenoon at ten o'clock at Hannah was
attended by quite large party OF FOR
! mer associates and old friends, fsOm II
Langdon, who in the sad event OF tn:
week sustain the irreparable loss OF
true friend and mourn deeply with the
Immediate family in this hour OF sorrow
and bereavement.
