The WHY Heather.

An Englishman who was appointed
to an important post in China got mar
ried soon after. Among the recipients
of the usual little cardboard boxes con-
tanning n piece of wedding cake was a
Chinese merchant with whom the
bridegroom had an outstanding ac-
count for goods supplied After the
honeymoon one of the first persons
the newly welded husband met was
his Celestial creditor.
And how did you like the cakeY
said the Englishman laughingly after
the usual congratulations.
"Ah. har' returned the Chinaman,

CHRONICLES: From the Milwaukee
Sentinel we learn that John w.
Hughes, mail clerk on the North
western road between Milwaukee
and Lancaster, has been arrested and
ordered to give bonds in the sum of
eral grand jury in the eastern dis
trict Of this state, to answer to a
charge of secreting registered letter
which came into his hands on his
route. Mr.. Hughes is a citizen of
Barneveld, in this county, and has
always borne such an excellent rep
utation that the people here cannot
resist the belief that some mistake
has been made that he will be fully
able to explain.
The Eau Claire Leader discourses
as follows on the subject of damage
to the potato crop: 1t is now per-
fectly clear that there will only be
halt IA crop of potatoes in Wisconsin
this year owing to the rot. This is
great loss. The yield in this state is
about 100000 bushels. This year it
will not be more than 100000. AT
fifty cents bushel that means loss
of seven and half million dollars.
This loss is attributed to the excess
of moisture, but it can also be attri-
buted to the fact that farmers here
are very negligent about changing
their seed. They keep on planting
the same potatoes year after year and
this inbreeding Invariably brings on
disease. 1t was this which caused
the destruction of the potato crop in
Ireland in 1886 The people had been
planting the same potatoes over and
over again and they had been grad
ually getting worse and worse every
year, until they were completely de-
stroyed. After the famine seed pota-
toes were brought from distant
counties and the island has had good
potatoes ever since. There is one
man in Eau Claire county who
changes his seed every year. That
man has not had a rotten potato in
forty years. This matter is worthy of
the closest investigation.
The happiest couple in the world
should be a deaf husband and blind
wife, both taking Rocky Mountain
Tea. Keeps peace in the family. So
cents. j. A. Meserole.

Half q century ago a young English
man while travelling met beautiful
girl and promptly fell in love with her.
A few days later he returned home,
and his first act was TO write her love
letter. In ii he told her that he could
not be happy without her and that If
she regarded his proposal favorably
he would expect reply by the next
mail
To this letter he received no answer,
and so disappointed was he that from
that time until his death, which &C
Cured recentlT, he shut himself up In
his home aud lived like a hermit. Most
of his time was spent in reading, and
the day after his funeral the heirs be-
gan to search the books in his library,
for they thought It quite possible that
the eccentric old man might have hid
den some bank notes in them.
They found none, but in n tnttered
old pamphlet they found another kind
of note the love letter which was writ
ten fifty years ago and which the writ
er had forgotten TO mail.

The Fatal Rusty Nail.

Ed. Regor, a young man about Il
years of age, who left here for Chi
cage less than a month ago for the
purpose of learning the plumbing
trade, returned encased in coffin
last Thursday evening. A short
time previously he accidentally
stepped on a rusty nail the same
penetrating through his shoe and in
to his foot. Lockjaw set in and death
soon followed. Deceased was we'll
liked by all acquaintance, and many
hearts have been saddened by his
untimely death. He was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Peter L.. Roger, Of this
city, whose affiiction is heavy to
bear. The funeral Saturday was
largely attended.

But all was quiet until one day the

But she rode on beside him fearless

frightened groups of what sheep were
left, and halted beside the smoking
ruins of the herders wagon. 1t was
she who found him first, lying uncon-
scious a dozen yards from the wagon.
There was a wound in his forehead.
While Sammie stood with wide, scared
eyes, she told him to run to the creek
and bring water, then to ride on to the
ranch for help
With the water Sammie had brought
her she bathed the wound and kept
his parched lips moist, and the black
and white pony moved up and down
like restless shadow between her and
the charred wagon.
Once he opened his eyes and stared
up at her in wonder, and she laid her
