WHEN THE DEACON
 DROVE OXEN
[ M. aUAp.

 (Copyright. 1894, by Daily Story Pub Co
 Deacon Shortwell and the Widow Hal ris, whose farms adJoined, were not cx- actly engaged to be married when q cerrafE April morning was ushered Tn with the songs of happy robins and the saueais of hungry pigs, but they had been leaning that way for the last year. They had been widow and widower for upwards of three years. For a year or more the deacon had been in the habit of dropping in two or three times a week and exhibiting something moro than neighborly interest, and 1t was mo- tfceable that the widow used a bit more hair dye than formerly, and was more solicitous about the freckles on her face. The neighbors had 1t that the thing was all settled, but they were a little too pre- rsoNk. The deacon was a man who neV- er fought COW. signed a note. traded oIK horse or got a new pump for the well without careful delIberation, and on her part the widow was willing to walt aud study him a bit. He appeared to be e placid even-tempered man, who feli oyer hog or off the fence without too much language over it. but she remem- bere8 that volcanoes sometimes burst forth and rip and tear without any rca- son&bie excuse.
 Therefore, while there was a tacit and mutual understanding that in due time fhe deacon would boss both farms, and khs fuidow to boot. and that she would darn his socks and make his bread in q hou Wigely way. he hadn't asked her asehtaat from the shoulder fl she woald

 On that certain April morning referred to as a date to start from, the deacon dropped in to borrow a hoe, and the widow incidentally observed that her garden ought 10 be plowed. He agreed.

John F. Brownell in Leslie's Weekly. If the Democratic party. in it's infi- nite wisdom, decides that Mir. German of Maryland of right ought to be President of the United States. and the Republi- can party. in convention assembled de- clares that Mir. Roosevelt should succeed himself, the voters of the country will have before them the most clearly con- trasted candidates in the history of the republic. In every characteristic that helps to make Mir. Roosevelt what he is MT. German is his direct and absolute opposite. In every theory or principle of human action-politica1. governmental and nersonal-that Mir. German has preached by practicing, Mir. Roosevelt sees naught but wrong. It Is as if the sum of mankind's traits and opinions were divided into halves and one-half were given to one man and the other half to another. The two are perfect complements. What the one is, the other ! Is not. Together they constitute that puzzling mixture of contradictions-the Yankee statesman, lord of the earth and the fullness thereof.
 As statesmen go. German is not an old man. Born in 1SS9 he has seen 65 years but they rest upon him lightly His form is still as erect as. ever. and his shoulders as broad.
 Personally, German is a man of few PoelJ NiCeS' ne ls DaSeDaH crank-or was when the national game fiourished- and wastes money raising chickens and vegetables on his farm at Laurel. Md. a few miles from Washington. Unlike some statesmen, he is not given to the amusement known at the capitol as ''opening wine," and neither does he smoke tobacco necessarily. like some of his distinguished colleagues, nor chew it., like certain eminent jurists. His family life has been ideal.
 German is not approachable, in the or dinary sense. He does not wear an air of very marked geniality, and, as a ruIe. he keeps his own counsel and makes con fdants of few. But his manner at all

Attack on Port Arthur.

Toxic, Aug. 16.-Vice Admiral Kan
mura encountered the Russian Vladi-
vostok squadron north of Tsu island in
the stats of Korea, and attacked the
enemy at once. The battle lasted for
five hours and resulted in a complete
Japanese victory. The Russian cruis-

Rossia and Gromobol fed to the north
ward after having sustained serious
damage.
Vice Admiral Kamimura cables the

The Russian squadron which con-

1t was stronger than Admiral Togo's
squadron in battleships and armored
cruisers and had it elected to fight
the result might have altered the for

The raid conducted by the Vlad-

BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
New York Unions Oppose Open Shop
UItimatun1

New York, Aug. 16.-Replying to the
open shop ultimatUm issued by the
Building Trades Employers Associ-
alton, the Tile Layers Union has is
sued a counter ultimatum to the mem
bers of the Tile, Crate and Mantel As
ISOLATION, composed of employers in
which the union says that if the lock
out is not raised on the members of
that union that union will not return
to work at any future time for low
er scale than $3.50 per day. The pres
ent scale is SIS per day.
George w. Whitford, secretary of
the Electrical Workers Union, one
of the unions locked out by the bosses,
said:
1--WE shall pay no attention to the
ultimatum. If the employers attempt
to put nOn-union men to work on Aug
ust % they will find that they have
the biggest fight on their hands they
yet have tackled. The unions not
involved in the lockout will certain
ly refuse to work. The employers
know if the open shops is declared
it will mean the biggest labor strike
in the history of the city.
