$ A MATRIMONIAL sANDBAR.


When the good wife of Deacon Sam
ueI Bradshaw departed this life and its
trials and tribulations, it was Miss
Mary Jones. spinster, who came over
and took charge of things for three or
four days. She had known the deacon
and his wife for several years, and it
was reported that when the wife found
herself dying she said to Mary:
Il am going to that better land. I
am glad on my own account that / am
going. but sorry on SarnueFs.- He will
be left all alone, and how he will get
his shirts washed, his cooking done and
his bed made, 1 don't know. You must
be kind to him, Mary, and year or
SO after 1 am gone. should he ask you
should he ask you---'4s
But she got no further. After the
funeral, and as the weeks went by,
some folks interpreted this to mean that
Miss. Jones was to marry the deacon
If he asked her. and others that she was
only to oversee his house and help to
make him as comfortable as possible
For ten months the deacon himself
gave no sign of how he personally in
terpreted it. Then it was noticed that
he began to walk home with Mary from
church and prayer meeting, and pay her
other little attentions. She was living
with a brother who was married. and
by and by the deacon became a fire.
quent caller Some folks would have
it that he went there to see the old
maid, and others that his talk was with
the brother. and all about hogs, the
crops and the state of the roads. When
a full year had gone by Uncle Joe
Tracy, who was known to be a pillar
of goodness, as well as the biggest gos-
sip in the country, stopped the deacon
on the village street one day to say:
t'Look-a-here, Samuel, I'm a-heaFing
that you are sorter shinin' up to Mary
JONES'. 1'
''Wen. it's my business if I am was
the blunt reply. r.
80 it is, Samuel-so tt is: but don't
you make no mistake on Mary Jones'
She lived with us for four years when
she was a gal, and I'm teiIir' you she's
got a worse temper than; a sore-footed
cat
81 hain't seen no signs of it,
f.And mebbe you won't till you are
married, but it's there, just the same.
She's expectin' to marry, you, and she's
as soft and smooth as slaSses, but when
you are married it will be a different
thing She'll let herstemper loose and
make your hair stand up"
81 don't believe a word of it. and
don't thank We for your gossip" OBJ
served the deacon, as he broke away
fsAll right. Samuel,-all right. You
jest continer to believe that Mary
Jones is an angel, and you'll come out
all right. Don't blame me If you get
the fiip-fop, though. When she gets
mad she yeils so you can hear her a
mile away
of course. the deacon didn't believe
it, If her own brother had said SO he
wouldn't have believed it. He had
been watching Mary for months to see
what he could find to scriticise, and
each time he had seen her he had re-
marked her gentle disposition. He had
seen her fail soff the fence into a patch

HoCH is INDICATED.
Another Proof That Water Was Used
on the Kansas.

Governor Hoeh is vindicated. The
cork in the champagne bottle used in
christening the battleship Kansas has
been pulled, which goes far to cor
roborate the governors story about
the use of water instead of wine at
the christening ceremony s-s1,s5 1-s -.
Today the governor received. from
De Coursey May, president of the
New York Shipbuilding company, a
handsome mahogany tablet, to the
face of which was fastened the frag-
ments of the champagne bottle, en-
closed in the net which held it when
it crashed against the ships prov.
The tablet is appropriately inscribed
with the name of the ship. date of the
launching and name of the sponsor.
But the interesting feature is the
cork of the bottle. AS is we'll known
in certain quarters, champagne cork
has the habit of swelling up to ex-
IRENE size as soon as the wires are
cut and it is released from its place
in the neck of the bottle. The bottle
used in the christening has had the
wires cut, the cork has been removed,
and swelled, and has been pushed
back about half way into the bottle
neck Evidently somebody tempered
with the bottle, and it is natural to
give the governor the benefit of the
doubt and say that the champagne
had been emptied out and water sub
Stituted.

COIN, TO THE CIRCUS.

Coming home from the village one
afternoon with his horse and buggy, with

Two miles from home and on a barn
by the roadside, two men were at work
FASTING up circus posters. They had the

they finished their work as Jabez sat and

Meeting of the Lower House of Aus
TRAN Parliament.

Vienna, Sept 26.-zWhen the lower
house reassembled today the opening
moments were marked by a tumultuous
socialist democratic demonstration
against the premier, Baron Gautsch
Won Frankenthurn, who has incurred
the wrath of the social democrats by
his attitude on the question of elector-
al reform, he having advised the en-
peror to refuse to consent to the in
PRODUCTION of universal suffrage in
Hungary. The uproar lasted for some
time, shouts of -Wundraw," and Re
sign,' being heard above the general
din.
The premier ultimately succeeded in
obtaining d hearing and reminded the
house of the governments promise
faithfully to execute its agreement with
Hungary provided the latter full
filed his part, especially the continu
ance and completion within stated time
of the commercial treaty negotiations.
Should Hungary not agree on this
point the government would take steps
for the presentation of an Austrian
treaty.
He claimed he had not exercised al
legged decisive influence in the matter
aned said he made a principle of not
infringing on the affairs of Hungary.
