In strange land. The fact was

TO him at every opportunity by
the good people OF Oreville.
He was sweet tempered fellow, and
IL disturbed him nightly when his ef-

the works and that my predecessor

Maria shifted. She had her opinion
OF people who failed In appreciation OF
her young master. Had she not come

But Maria did not know that most OF

Marion cried. Here II was only two
days 10 Thanksgiving dinner aud her
fathers long expected visit. and there
was dearth OF turkeys Ia Oreyille.
She was ut an upper window gazing
disconsolately toward the empty poul-
try house when her glance happened
TO stray TO the yard OF her ncighbor.
She saw the turkey tcthered to the
post. Instantly she thought she recog-
nized II as her favorite gobbler. II was
a case OF mistaken Identity. but there
Is much OF sameness In turkeys.
All. so he was the thief But where
were the othersl Doubtless he had
made way with them. Here her tears
flowed again. II was melancholy sat

had diagnosed the strangers character

before. but II was not material COM

Meanwhile there was equal distress
in the house OF Peyton. Maria's sister
was i'll, aud she must come at once.
She had departed with many tears and
lamentations
Jasper after seeing her of had re-
turned home In melancholy frame OF
mind. No Thanksgiving dinner for him
now. He must eat at the hotel And

just then n most brilliant idea came
to him. lie had heard OF Miss Carl

But very astonlshed face met him
next door. Was his conscience already

scarlet with anger ms the unconscious
young man presented the turkey In his
most polite manner.
He had scarcely finished when the
avalanche fell. His turkey For how
long had II been his turkeyi Since last
night II was adding insult TO injury
to return as gift what he had previ-
ously stolen.
Jaspcr's bcwllderment had changed
to anger
"You accuse me-mef" he exclaimed
incredulously. "But Il is only on par
with your previous actions. Permit me,
madam. TO inform you that the turkey
arrived by express last night. You cnn

long lashes hid the dark eyes and the
scornful mouth trembled. Only the
nose still tilted aggrayatingly. II have

Jasper was silent. IL was undoubt-

much.
The girl went on braveiy. though
there was n choke In her voice: And

Jasper saw tears shining behind the
long lashes. His heart beat strangely
as he took her outstretched hand. II

tent of the Disaster.

Connellsville, Pa, Dec. 24-With the
completion of the work of clearing
away the wreck the full extent Of the
catastrophe was apparent and some
idea OF the awful force of the shock
could be obtained.
The ties which were the cause of the
accident We're strung along the track
for nearly 800 feet. These ties are
what are known as Switch ties" being
much larger and heavier than the or
binary cross tie. The first of them was
lying some distance east of the trestle
over Laurel run and the marks showed
that the engine left the track at that
point ard that the force carried it to
the place where it buried itself in the
bank.
The last body taken out was found
between the roofs of the two day
coaches. 1t was crushed beyond rec
ignition.
Three of the injured are still alive
1T the Cottage State hospital. OF the
score of writing patients that We're
taken there are all dead but four.
Twenty or more other persons were cut
and bruised and few passengers on the
train escaped the effects of the shock,
out With little or no medical aid they
were able to resume their journey. 1t
is remarkable that the number of dead
is so great and that so few were inJur-
ed. Notwithstanding that the coaches
were thrown high'in the air they were
not broken and had the steam dome
of the boiler remained infect few fatal
tiles would have occurred.

and Mrs. Cortez Smith, was married,
Wednesday evening, at 7.30, at the
home of her parents. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. H. NJ. Ives,
pastor of the Baptist church, the single
ring service being used. The bride was
attired in white, and the bride and
groom were attended by Harry Smith,
brother of the bride, and Miss Ida
Bell, sister of the groom. They stood
under an arch, made of white and
trimmed here there with holly. The
room was also prettily decorated with
green. The wdding march was played
by Mrs. Bert Bakery. The wedding
was private, only the immediate fam
lilies of the bride and groom being pres
ent. After the ceremony a reception
was rendered to Mr.. and Mrs Bell,
which was attended by few of their
most intimate friends. Miss Smith has
been employed as clerk for f. r. Files
for several years, and has made many
friends. Mr.. Bell has always lived
here. He is employed by the F. H.
Brown Clothing Co, as pressmen. They
received a number of useful and val
liable presents. Mr.. and Mrs. Bell went
to their home on Kelley
street, where they are to reside. Many
friends extend congratulations ana
good wishes.

A Son Of the Anti.Prodigal Kind.
(New York Press.)


Used to be an old man I knew up in
Albany" said State Excise Commits
sioner Timothy M. Cullinan, whose
son hardly was an imitator of the prod
igal of oden times. The old man was
rich and his tastes were riotous, but his
years were too many to permit him to
roll as high as his wealth would allow.
1t laid with the boy to spend the money,
but he wouldn't. Wouldn't dress up to
top notch, nor go to wine parties, nor
play poker, but was frugal and saw
ing; and so the old mans heart was
heavy within him.
"One lady the old man wrote to a
business friend in New York, who had
couple of sons and told him he was
going to send Billy down there on a
trip; that he wanted his friends sons
to show his kid the elephant-in short,
TO give him the benefit of the whole
menagerie. He gave Billy $500 and told
MIN to skip out and. enjoy himself.
The old man thought the boy was
irescoing the town, particularly as he
didn't hear from him, and he was hap
py for two months. Then Billy re-
turned and broke his heart with the
truth.
What do you suppose the kid had
been doing? He'd.struck a job setting
up pins in a bowling alley as soon as he
got there and he took $3.50. home with
him." =.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 24.-When seen,
Thursday, after he had received full
report of the Dawson ccident William

"While the accident was deplorable
in the extreme, yet it is a consolation
to me, speaking as an official of the
company, to know that it cannot be at
tributed to negligence of any of our
employees. A wreck of this character is
liable to happen on any railroad having
4 double track. While it was lumber
that fell from a westbound freight train
that caused the accident, yet any OBJ
