According to one of these stories,

One night, rather late, they passed
a farm whose gatepost bore the sign,

Young Iselin said: We'll have some

The milkman dressed and hurriedly

pump spout. With an oath he drew

How Irishman Planned to Save Part Of
Reward.
Gen.A II. Chaffee, who commanded
In the war game off Maine, was talk
ing one afternoon to some reporters in
Portland. The hypothetical loss of the
fleet had been discussed, and this sub
ject reminded Gen. Chaffee Of a story.
He said:
Speaking of losses, there was an
Ohio Irishman once who lost a gold
watch. He told one of his friends
about 1t.
Its a fine Swiss watch he said,
full jeweled, adjusted to three posi-.
tons, and to heat and cold. It's worth
$685.
"'Well,' says his friend, 4 hope you
get it back
"'Oh, I'm likely to get 1t back said
he Irishman, for I've advertised it in
the lost and found columns of eleven
papers,
What reward have you offered"'
-Four dollars
-Four dollars! Why, man, that's
not a fair reward for a gold watch

Political economists have told us

the handspring of industry. 1t is love
for the home and the wife and the
children that keeps all the busy wheels

She Could Have Her Way,

James Lane Allen tells the story OF
an old bachelor living in Kentucky,
who, having determined to get mar.
ried, sought the advice Of a married
friend on this serious step. He spoke
of his farm and money and the m
terial advantages Of a union with the
lady of his choice, but sentiment
seemed to have no place In his cor.
sideration. After listening carefully
to what he had to say on the subject,
the married friend asked:
"Wha II your tastes differed great.
ly? Suppose, for instance, that she
liked Tennyson, and you didn't?"
WELL" responded the bachelor, "un.

Not Contrary to Fact.

George AIDE attended recently a
dinner of theatrical people in Boston.
The stage folks sang songs and told
stories. but Mr.. AIDE, who is very
quiet and retiring, would neither
sing nor speak. He was. he said, no
good at anything of that kind.
Finally, though, the calls for Mr..
AIDE became too vehement. The young
man had to yield. He rose and said:
Il will tell you of an excellent
trick in parlor magic. You take a

quietly, and she did not question it,
scarcely heard the more kindly name,
though the horror somehow fell away
from her heart and a silence and full
despair mingled with an indefinite
hope rested upon her.
Not another word was uttered until
they were standing at the door of the
hospital. Dolores asked brokenly as
she chung to his arm, unable to stand
alone for the moment:
"You are sure-sure we are-in
timer"
YES" said the young man gravely.
and with steady assurance in his voice.
Yes, Dolores. BE brave as you al,
ways are, and all will be well"
And as DR.. Dunwiddie held her
hand for a moment, putting new
strength into her fingers from his
steady clasp, he said, checrily:
II am glad you are here, Miss John
on. We will need you in the morn.
Ing, but you a do nothing Low and
would only tire yourself to no use.
We will call you when it is neces-
sary."

him?"
mo. I must say no, Miss Johnson.
Your father is quiet and in a half
doze; should you see him 10Y he
would be too weak to talk to you, and
it would be worse than useless"
Dolores did not think of resting or
sleeping with the great weight of her
injustice to her father upon her mind,
but the woman who entered with
them at the orders OF the doctor to
see that the girl should rest quietly,
removed her things and induced her
to lie down for a moment any way,
and she slept until a light tapping on
her door awoke her.
She answered the rap, a tremor in
her voice, her thoughts confused md
unable at first to comprehend where
she was or why she was there. until
the voice on the other side of the door
told her to go to room 81 as soon as
she was ready, and she realized what
had come.
When she entered No. 81. DR.. Dun
widdie turned to her, as she approach

She leaned over the bed with won

among the pillows was pallid with the
dews of death upon it.; the coarse,
scant hair, strayed OF the pillow. In.

Yesterday S sales of cotton in Ameri-

and thus made it the heaviest single

recent advance was accelerated yester-
day morning when the market opened
with another gair of dozen points,
and Immediately the warehouseme n

and as they knew exactly to bale the
stock here there was lively competition
for the staple, Mr.. L G. Council sold
one lot of 400 bales at the round price
of 81 cents and probably 100 or $50
bales at prices under that figure, &C.
cording to grades. At the Johnson &
Harold warehouse lot of $50 bales
brought 81 cents, while sales of $50
bales additional were made at a less
figure. Holders thought 81 cents q
very good point at which to get ou',
and while cotton will eventually go
higher they are satisfied at thus obtain
ing the top price of the entire season.

BIG BATCH OF CASES
ARE TRIED IN COURT,
Busy Session of City Court
Yesterday.
MANY TIckETED TO CHANGING
Judge Crisp Reaches Misdemeanor
Docket In City Court of Americas
And Quite a BUNCH Stand With the
Convicted

Unless fines imposed by Judge G r.
Crisp in the City Court of Americas
yesterday are paid, quite dusky con-
tineent OF citizens will spend the sum
mer down at the gang.
The mlsdemeanor docket was taken
up Yesterday morning.
Eighteen jurors were drawn tor ser
vice, and the first days session on the
criminal side was very busy one, as
expected
Will Harris, larceny from the house,
will pay a fine of s35 or serve, six
months.
Bill Jefferson, for a quiet little
game, will ant $50 or pass for a six
months term.
1t was the same dose for Paul Ton
dee. Paul had sat in game of stud
poker or something else quite as Sc
ductive. Six months or $50.
Cupid Tondee was likewise called on
a royal flush. Six months or $50
squared Cupid, which amount was far
in excess of the jackpot wherein he
cast his shekels.
Dennis Austin was charged with
larceny from the house to the extent of
six months or $40
Cora Co'quitt, the lone queen Of
spades in this greasy deck, was charg-
ed with the crime of larceny from the
house. Eight months or $40 is now
written after Cora's name.
Charlie Mack will put in an even year
10 the gang unless he can dig up the
price. Mack is the negro who at
tempted to burgIarize Mr.. Summer
ford's store at Leslie recently.
Hedid'nt break in there, but he has
broken into the changing all right.
Robert Tyson had assaulted and
battered somebody, and Judge Crisp
thought the sport worth $40 or eight
months of Tyson's time.
Thus a whole batch of cases were
marked off on the first round, and the
end is not yet. One or two indict.
ments for selling whiskey were tried
and the defendants dismissed.
Judge Crisp will have another round
with the boys this morning.
