A Good Run.

An Atchison railroad man was in
reminiscent mood the other night and
said: 1.-The best job I ever had was
on little branch forty miles long.
There was only one train day, and
| ran it. Most of the fares were paid
in cash. There were three or four sta
ton agents, and occasionally they
sold ticket, but I always got even
with them; the paymaster never went
over the branch, sending the pay
checks down to the agents with me and
when one of the agents sold ticket
you bet [ took it out of his check the
next month.-Achison Globe.

hardened both OF them.
But Richard had begun the interview
badly, and the Dysart pride, which was
fully as bad as the Dysart temper,
would not let him descend from his
lofty perch. And although he knew he
was wronging his brother grievously
by the suspicion, the fiend within COM
PEELED him to continue
And so you wash your hands of
me, and can go to the devil with your
two thousand pounds!"
Sir Arthur's patience was exhausted,
and even his affection could not with
stand this last thrust, coupled with
what had gone before. Still, as Rick
waxed hot, he grew cool.
1T is a matter of complete indiffer-
ence to me what you do or where you
CO., he retorted Jelly. II have done my

morning and better temper!"
With these words he turned away,
and was for stepping out on the lawn
But in a couple of strides Richard was
by his side, strong hand on his
shoulder, so as to swing him round,
and they stood face to face, one as hot
as molten iron, the other as cool as
chilled steel.
'All very fne!" Rick sneered. t3Now
that you've got the title, 1 suppose you
think you'll capture the lady besides.
But don't be too sure!" -
The caddish. thrust told. The baro-
net quivered, and then steadied
himself as does good fencer when his
enemy's foil touches a vital spot. His
eyes blazed, yet still he kept admirable
outward control of his temper. With
cool and cutting irony he rejoined:
IF the lady gets you, shall be the
first to congratulate her on her ex-
ceedingly wise choice. She might do
worse!'
Then he passed out to the grass,
paused, and again turned to where
Richard stood, speechless with rage and
chagrin, saying as though to a mere
caller:
IT will order the gig round in an
hour. There is a train at 12:40. I
would not hurry you, or hint that I am
the master here, but doubtless you will
be glad to leave Denecroft"
And with a slight bow he passed
round turret angle, and Richard saw
him no more. Thus the brothers
parted.

\ Wedding Au Naturel.

There was wedding yesterday in
GracelesS church.
Lord Baldknob of Kiltshire, Eng
land, married Miss Sallie Panhandle
of East Pittsburg.
The bridal party, including the at
torneys for both sides, formed in the
alcove promptly at ll:3O.
At ll:45 the real estate in the brides
name was transferred to his lordship.
At l1:5O a million dollars in legal
tender changed hands.
At high noon all the railroad first
mortgage bonds known to be the
brides possession were handed over.
A vote of thanks was then passed to
his lordship for leaving the brides
father enough to live on comfortably
until the next rise in Wall street, which
is predicted for next spring.
At 12:15 two bishops, four clergy
men: two real estate lawyers, and a
barrister, representing the plaintiff,
pronounced the benediction.
The groom will pass the next three
weeks with his bride at his estates in
England, after the roof has been re-
paired.
After this, it is understood, they
will separate and enter society.-Life.

UNITED STATES PROTESTS.
Refuses to Recognize Blockade of
Dominican Ports,

New York, Nov. 1S-The United
States government has refused to
recognize the blockade of San Domini-
can ports, made two days ago, and
has protested against it. This was
confirmed Tuesday by Nevada N.
Stranahan, collector of the port of
New York The collector received
telegraphic advices from the treasury
department advising him that the
state department does not consider
the blockade effective and has enter
ed vigorous protest against it. The
collector, in conformity with his in
structions and the protest, has notified
masters Of vessels sailing to San Do
minican ports that clearance papers
will be issued for any ports in San
Domingo, thus officially refuting the
effectiveness of the blockade.
At the offices of the Clyde line, it
was said that the Cherokee will clear
today for her usual trip, calling at the
ports which the local Dominican con-
sui says are "closed."

DIETRlcH-FlsHER CASE.
No Developments Of Any Importance
Occur.

Omaha, Nov. 1s.-Few develop
velopments in the Dietrich Fisher
postoffice case in which. indictments
were returned Monday against United
States Senator Charles H. Dietrich
and Jacob Fisher, postmaster at
Hastings, Neb., occurred during the
day, The case has not been without
interest, however, and during the
whole day the halls at the federal
building were filled with a busy, eager
throng, many of them friends of the
indicted, others politicians who were
looking for news of what might be ex-
pected to happen next. Although four
other cases in which postmasters and
their appointments are said to be I'M
der investigation are expected to be
presented to the grand jury for action,
none OF them came up Tuesday, the
jury being engaged in hearing Indian
cases.
These additional cases, it is said,
are to be taken up at once and it was
said at the district attorneys office
that large number of witnesses have
been called to testify before the grand
jury.
Some criticisms of the composition
OF the grand jury have brought forth
a statement from Clerk Hoyt of the
United States district court showing
how the jury was drawn. Mr.. Hoyt
said the jury list was made up from
list recommended by bankers through
ont the state and the names of the
present jurymen were drawn from a
very large list by a man who knew
none of them
District Attorney Sommers took oc-
casion Tuesday to emphatically deny
that witnesses had been treated I'M
Justly or inundated in any way, add
ing that his action in bringing the
postmastership transaction before the
grand jury was incidental to the gen.
eral policy he has pursued during his
lncumbency in Office
Postmaster Fisher appeared in court
early in the day and furnished bonds
in the sum Of $1,000 on each indict-
ment against him.. He was downcast
over the result of the investigation by
the grand jury, but denied that he had
any transactions with Senator Diet
rich of compromising character.

a Fortified Apple,

When the workmen were tearing
down the old chimney in the gentle
mems waiting room of the Northern
Pacific depot in this city Wednesday
a curiosity was found which will be
highly valued by some of the old time
railroad men who have worked with
the Northern Pacific for twenty five
years or more. It was a petrifed ap-
pie which must have fallen into the
fume over thirty years ago, or about
the time the depot was built. At that
time this building was the most pre-
tentious on the entire Northern Pacific
system and was the general office of
the company. The apple is as hard
as a rock, and it was so we'll pre-
served that the color of the apple is
easily distinguished. It was russell.
Even the stem was we'll preserved. AS
creosote has recently been discovered
to contain wonderful preserving pow
ers, it is thought that the apple was
kept from rotting by this chemical

NET AND THE POOR BARRISTER"
into his bag, left directions for the gig
to bring it after him, and then started
to walk to the station.
Long before he reached London his
better self regained the ascendancy,
and bitterly he rued the wrong he had
done his brother and the mess he had
made Of things. Pride forbade him to
10 back and apologize as he ought.
Not a penny Of that cursed money
would he touch. He would leave Eng
land and carve out an independent
fortune for himself.
But at first he must see Marcia and
find out if she too were among the
things he had that day lost
Fortunately he found her *'at home"
and alone. 1t was the first time they
had met since his fathers death, and as
she rose and came forward with out
stretched hands to welcome him she
said
Il knew you would come to me first
upon your return"
Her words and her manner fell like
balm on his storm-tossed and angry
spirit, and something like a sob had
to be gulped down before he could
speak, and even then his eyes were
suspiciously moist.
YES he said, leading her to
seat, land even now I am come to
say good-by. I am leaving England"
he continued in answer to the mute
and appealing inquiry in her eyes.
Leaving England" she replied in
deep contralto tones; "and why?"
"To make my fortune" he answered
as jauntily as he could.
But surely" she began, when he
took the words out of her mouth.
''Oh, yes, Sir Arthur has done the
handsome thing so far as money is
concerned, but we've had beastly
row, and I can't touch a penny So
I'm going away"
"A quarrel with Sir Arthur-going
away!" she repeated DULY, with dilated
eyes.
He nodded. But it was all my fault:
l acted like cad. I was mad with
doubt and uncertainty. Arthur be-
haved like Dysart-practically
ordered me off the premises, just as I'd
have done if he had checked me. I've
only myself to thank he concluded
gloomily.
Richard was very, very young, or
he would have known that one of the
surest ways to a woman's heart is self
depreciation, especially when that

sian Plan of Reform.
London, Nov. 18.-The Constantine

that the sultan of Turkex has ac-

form in Macedonia.
The news given by the correspond
ent is not confirmed in other quarters,
although it is known that the other
powers, including Germany, have been
pressing the sultan to accept the
scheme.
According to the Standards Constan-
tinople correspondent it would be a
mistake to interpret any acceptance
of the reform scheme as other than a
subterfuge to escape more trouble.

The Crow .

There is 10 mention of crowns before
the eighth century after Christ. The
crown really did not become the head
covering of kings until thea times Of the
Christian rulers after the might and
power of pagan Rome were broken.
Before those days the browning was
done with helmet. This change in the
method of browning the rulers is typ
zeal of the changes that occurred In
the spirit that animated nations and
races in the selection of their kings.
The first kings and chiefs, after the
world had emerged from the patri-
archal forms of government, were Sc
lected almost altogether for their
prominence as leaders in war. Thus,
gradually, the chief of the army be
came the chief of the nation. Almost
all the ancient kings were military
despots. Then, with the prevalence of
Christianity and the overthrow of the
old governments, came the new rulers
who claimed TO rule by divine right
They, too, were almost all military
despots, especially in the beginning
but the world had progressed far
enough to demand more proof of au-
thority to rule than mere brute power.

The ancient custom at Lanark, Scot

and meaning of which are lost Is cele-
brated annually and watched by a
crowd of grown ups. The town bell is

six months. On the first night of the

Desperate attempts have been made to
diseredit Gen. Wood, largely because Of
the rapid promotion he received at the
hands of President Mckinley and the
important trusts committed to him by
both Presidents Mckinley and President
Roosevelt. The Boston Herald contains
the following succinct statement relat-
ing to fhs case: "After all, it is charac-
ter that tells 10 the long run. The out
come of all these bitter attacks on Gen,
Leonard Wood serves to emphasize this
fact. They have injured only those who
have made them. 1t is generally so
when efforts are made to discredit per-
sons of high character and distinguished
achievement. 1t will be well if this
lesson is needed by those who find them
selves awkwardly placed by this
episode"
