THE LAMP OF LOVE.
BY CHARLES EUGENE BANKS.

A(VpSA4ShNB A"VS' 'S
 fishing Co.)
 It may have been because she was fond of being wooed-fond of having a big, sturdy man like Sam Daily blush ing and stammering in her presence, and looking whole volumes of unutter- able things whenever she was by-it might have been that she did not really know her own mind, but whatever the cause of her indecision, there it was plain enough, and Sam was wretchedly nervous lest he should never win her consent to be Mrs Daily.
 But when a good, healthy young man like Sam Daily really loves pretty girl you may be sure he is not going to let anything stand in the way of his winning her. if she is to be won. And when he sees a rival in the field, his en- ergies are suddenly multiplied.
 Millicent Osborne's father had been a great contractor and the wealthiest man in the particular suburb of the great city wherein he carried forward his business ventures. But the panic of '93 had caught him with a number of big contracts on hand. and after heroic efforts to stem the tide of mis- fortune, he was forced to surrender to the inevitable and most of his fortune went to pay his creditors. Defeated, Respondent, but not broken hearted, he moved hIS family lnto small cottage, and became himself an employe of one of those whom he had before employed now risen to the responsibilities of a contractor. But poverty does not rob an American family of It's standing in a community where it has held a po- sition of note unto the second gener- ation, and the Osbornes still moved in social circles of unquestioned respect ability and refinement
 So 1t happened that while Sam Daily, the sturdy foreman of the great con- tracting firm of Blodget & Blodget, was a welcome visitor at the Osborne home, he was not without a formidable rival. Chester FiarwQod, only heir to the millions of his father was a nat ural admirer of MiIicent Osborne, and paid court to her on every possible occasion.
 It was once held to be true that at the Christmas time when the world is attuned to the spirit of the Master, he who was worthy might, if he listened with the faith of a child, hear the voice of Nature and learn therefrom the secret that he most desired to know .. whether this be so or not. certain is it that Sam Daily. on the Christmas Eve. ae which ! write. had most strange

one in his room, and called up the Os- borne cottage.
 'Is that you. Miss Osborne? Thank you, this is MT. Daily. Yes: Are you alone? We'll, want you to do me a Iavor-a very great favor, Milicent- Miss Osborne"
 He waited a moment for the answer and then spoke again.
 No, nothing serious has happened am quite well. My voice sounds strange? l didn't notice it. Now, please don't misunderstood me. but want you to assist me in a very inn rortant matter. Something that in- terests us both very nearly, and-and, you will keep whatever grows out of 1t a profound secret. Thank you. know I shouldn't have asked such a question, but it means so much to me just now"
 Again he listened for a reply. Was she offended? Had she misunderstood, and-no. she was speaking again.
 Yes" he answered. Good. Close all the doors to the room you are in. Have you the patent lamp burning? All right. Turn off all the other lights. Then stand near and turn it slowly off and on--very slowly. Keep still and listen. Then call me up and tell me if you hear anything." Now 1t happened that the Osborne cottage had an American copy of the Belgian patent lamp in the sitting room. Sam hung up the receiver, and talk ing up the violin began softly hunting for the mysterious note. It was not easy to strike somehow, although he could hear 1t in hls very soul. But at last the light responded but in a differ ent way. With the satisfaction he | began to feel those other thoughts come back. Now 1t moved slowly up and down. as if someone had fingers on the wick button and were moving 1t gently up and down. The hand that held the bow trembled with suppressed excite ment; but the gaze in the big grey eyes were steady and noted every change in the flame with careful accuracy. But would the telephone bell never ring? It seemed to him that years had passed since he took up the instrument! There | 1t was at last. He, laid the violin ten- derly in its case. What messenger of light it had been to him. Then. pale and trembling, he listened for the words that meant so much to him-so much to the world.
 Yes" his voice was husky. He could hardly speak
 Did you? Thank Godl What note was it? Mellow and soft! You thought it was c? No, it is not that. Do you know. Milicent. that we have solved tho problem of vibration? struck the note here on my violin. You heard it there. The sound trav- eled on the waves of light made by the flame. When they are tuned to- gether and the instrument sounds the keynote of their harmony they are one. Do you undarstAndf ThA Aiscov-

 Not Matters of Contract. Philadelphia Record.
 Gentlemen who guaranteed to MT. NIedringhaus three-fourths of the S25,- GOO he needed-he making himself re- sponsible for the other quarter-have assured the Investigating Committee that they exacted no pledges of legisla- tion. They did not need to. Does any one suppose that the Legislature would enact laws adverse to the interest of the men who gave them the money that secured the election of its majority members? There are sales of votes. of nominations, of appointments and of legislation that are not matters of con tract. The beneficiary recognizes his obligation without putting his sigma ture to it in writing or even stating it in precise term

New Uses for Electricity.


 It is French engineer who seriously announces his inventio nof a suit of electric clothing, with fine wire woven In the goods and a storage battery. By means of this invention he afirms that the body can be kept at a comfortable temperature in the coldest weather. There is no apparent reason why we should stop with this. Little if any more current would be needed to pro duce light such as persons on the vaudeville stage display. Thus every pedestrian at night would become Q walking lamp post, with electric force enough to shock an inebriate whc might wish to sling to him. It would be practicable. too. for an American inventor to connect the current with roller skates. thus allowing every man to be his own trolley car.

zeaA New Phone Line.

From what we have been able
to gather, it appears that residents
along the road from Summit to
Kings Valley are preparing TO in
stall telephone system. It is
proposed, according to under
standing. to establish this line
and incorporate.
1t is proposed to start on the
construction Of the line at once.
At given point in Kings Valley
the line will connect, we are in
formed, with the line of the In
dependent Telephone Co., of this
city. This will give Summit
residents, and people along the
route from from Kings Valley to
Summit, direct com munication
with this city, convenience
that will no doubt be greatly ap-
|preciated.
Mr.. Frantz, proprietor of the
store at Hoskins, isl, oking after
affairs in Kings Valley in the in.
terest Of the proposed line; T.
Ranney,- the Summit merchant,
is doing similar duty in Summit
and T. 7. Vincent is handling
matters in this city. It looks a:
though the proposition is a SURE
go.

They Have Troubles.

Trouble seems to be the 1egiti-
mate inheritance Of man. What
reioices one is a thorn in the
flesh of another. First one thing
and then another arises to irri-
tate people. Just now there is
dissatisfaction on the part OF at
least some Lincoln county citi-
zens over their exhibit at the Fair.
On account OF Lincoln county
having at one time been a part
| of Benton their troubles over
there have almost a localinterest.
In the last issue OF the Yaquina
Bay News considerable space is
devoted to ''roast" OF the coun-
ty court; the following commun-
ication, signed by Taxpayer, "
appeared:
| While in Portland, a few days
ago visited the Lewis and Clark
Fair. The exhibit in the Agri-
cultural building was fine, with
the exception Of one county, and
that was a disgrace to the county
that got it up. This exhibit is
designated as s'Lincoln County,"
and the name is conspicuously
placed so that every one can see
lit, but the exhibit is a disgrace
to the county. The gentleman
in charge, is County Judge
Brown, of Toledo, and he seems
to be ashamed of himself. There
he is with a stuffed cougar skin,
a pair of elk horns, wild cat ano
aud bear skin, and few oysters
(which was all that could be seen
No minerals, fruits, vegetables,
butter, wool, mohair, lumber O.
fish were in evidence. This in thu
midst of the fine display of othe
, counties made the Judge lool
! small indeed and if he had hat
r anything large enough l thinl
he would have hidden behind it
What has become of the com
mittee that was to collect an
+ send in specimens of the pre-
| ducts of the county? What ha
: become of the county's apprc
priation? Who is to blame?
