 Polly, poor child. don't take things so desperately hard. Try to loosen up ito relax. Stop fighting life and just let things go their own way. You wear yourself out with your fierce out breaks of feeling. It is not wise. Yet. will say, if you had been of the calm. emotionless sort. unmovable and unloving like myself, I should never have given you second thought. As 1t is, you are the only woman who has penetrated the crust of my reserve.
 have weighed carefully from ev- cry standpoint, your contemplated re- lation with this man. He seems, from your description, to be altogether worthy. everything that could be de- sired from worldly point of view every respect. But even so, Polly Child. I say in all frankness, that it I would not do, think it would kill you. You are so easily wearied (not bored--I never saw you bored) and your restlessness under the bond would grow into a disease that you'd eat the spirit out of you. You have a strange soul. Child. I am of the earth earthly: you might be of the ashes of dead roses and the perfume, faint and eIu- sive, of their blossoming still clings to your nature. realize all this and appreciate 1t.
 Pauline. ask you to marry me. l do not paint things Tn other than their true colors. I know I shall disappoint you. I warn you that you must not expect me to be any different. I shall be as kind to you as it lies in my pow CT to be if you accept these conditions. I shall endeavor to be at all times. your friend in the truest sense and rh A1I foundation for marriage as the con- ventional love. l have told you that l was glad that you loved me, and will say now, that I am more than glad. have my hours of dissatisfac- tion (hardly loneliness) and I want g. change. I have been considering this for some time. In fact two years ago. started to you to ask you to be my wife. You say you will take my ad- vice whatever 1t be. but, Dear Child. that is only the woman of it---you do not mean that fUi an instant, But. when you confront me with the altern- ative, which is nothing short of sacri- lege at least in my eyes, I venture to hope that you will become my wife at once. l am sure of your love--you have made it impossible for me to be otherwise, but because of that very feeling and the intensity of your long Ing TOT me, l feel some way that the issue is very uncertain. You are so utterly q creature of contraditions. l want you, Child. I will assure you of that. Life will seem much bright CT to me with the assurance of your presence, your quick sympathy, your womanhness, but I must not deceive you in the slightest degree. That adoring look in your eyes that I could never understand because I Inspired it. hard-headed. practical as I am, must not change into despair as I have so | often seen it change in the past.
 Weigh this carefully, Pauline, and remember that l shall endeavor not to disappoint you if you give yourself to me. l wish, with all my heart. that ! could fulfill your every hope.
 Wire me at once if I may come to you. If not, Child I-never mind. Yours,
 Jimmy.

MONTGOMERY NEGRO ROBBED.
~---e-~ William Carr Had an Experience in
 Washington. The Washington Times of February

"oSAAh8 c tpu lAliSS OL y 4 says:
 Glad only in thin suit of under wear, ragged coat, and pair of worm out low shoes. William Carr, a negro from Montgomery County, Ala, walked into the Sixth Precinct Station yes terday afternoon and declared he had been drugged and robbed of $320 by an unknown negro, a new overcoat, suit, hat and shoes.
 Carr. in telling his story, said that he reached Washington Thursday night on his way home in Montgomery. Ala, Deciding to remain in the city over night, and not knowing where to ob- tain a room, he asked a negro whom he met at the station to be directed to hotel. Except for faint rememb- rance of being persuaded to snuff a white powder the negro's memory is from this time on a blank.
 Disheartened and shivering with the cold, Carr hurried to the Sixth Pre- clnet, where he told his story. The matter was then turned over to Detee- tive Headquarters, where every effort is being made to apprehend the thief.'

 New York, Feb. Ion the allegation that he had been fieeced out of S50,O ,OO0 by a pretended wire tapping scheme, John F. Felix has caused the arrest of Lawson Crane and the police are searching for two other men whom Felix charges with being concerned in the scheme.
 Felix is a German and a dealer In musical instruments. He says that since he came from Germany last June he has lost $36.0OO by playing roulette. Lately, he said, a stranger who pre- tended to have met him in a gambling establishment came to him with an q Affer to enable him to recoup his losses by a tip on the New Orleans horse races, to be secured by wire-tapping. With two others, one of whom Felix alleges was Crane, the stranger took Felix to the offices of a reputable firm of bankers in a hotel after business hours, when the firm leaves its ofice open for the convenience of patrons and induced Felix to bet $50. .O00 on Old

 January 25 was notable in New York and other Eastern States for a snow storm of such severity as completely to suspend traffic on portions of the railways for many hours, says an ex- change. The New York Central line along the Hudson was especially af- feeted, the wind blowing across the ice covered river piling the snow in high drifts upon the tracks faster than it could be removed by an army of men, The biggest locomotives, drawing the fastest trains, were rendered as help less as handcars, and numerous trains on the Central and also on the roads upon the opposite side of the river and on Long Island were tied up all night at way stations or on the road. The Twentieth Century limited, leaving New York at 2:45 p. m. Wednesday, ran into drift near Irvington and was stalled there until near s o'clock Thurs day morning. The passengers, how ever. had all the comforts of home, with warmth, light, abundant food and luxurious beds, and enjoyed their ex- perience. The train reached Chicago on Friday morning about twenty hours behind time and the passengers receiv- ed a refund of $4 each under the agree ment of the company to repay a dollar for. each hour that the train arrived late up to four hours. The suburban service around New York in all direc- tions was completely demoralized, and great numbers of commuters spent the night on the roads. About the same time violent snow storms prevailed in parts of the West, and in Iowa, Kan sas, Nebraska and to the north block aded trains were numerous. It was time of severe toll, exposure, anxiety and sleeplessness for thousands of rail- way officials and employees, but the snow-bound passengers ,r were kept warm and well fed and had no occasion to grumble about the railroads, how ever much they might condemn the ac- tion of the elements.
 At a meeting of the New YoYrk Transportation Club Senator Depew, acting as toastmaster, said it was wrong to accuse railway men of being opposed to the Panama Canal the Erie $101, 100000 bargeway or canals in gen. eral. He said: "It has been charged by some newspapers that this club was prejudiced on the subject of transpor- tation. We are as liberal as we can be. It makes no difference whether transportation is in the air, on the sur- face or under ground. We are for anything that kills distance. We have encouraged the bicycle and the trolley. We have encouraged the electric loco- motive, though we love the railroad engineer Much as we love him, how ever. l predict that ten years from to- night the steam locomotive will be in the museums, while we will be carried along, clipping the seconds off seventy five miles an hour, by electric locomo- tiyes. It has been charged against ] railroad men that they are opposed to 1 the Isthmian Canal and to the enlarge ment of the Erie. So far as l know, intelligent railroad men believe that in- creased facilities for transportation en- large and stimulate production and that every method of transportation shares | in the benefits"

VOLUME XIV.
Jailer Judy a Hero.

Jailer George w. Judy stopped a
runaway horse hitched to buggy
Wednesday afternoon, and at the
risk of his own life he probably saved
the life of Mrs. Lena Mcdonald, of
Riddles Mills, who was in the vehi-
Gle. The horse became unmanage-
able in front of the Court House, be-
coming frightened at the street roller,
and dashed down the street. Mr..
Judy hearing the lady scream looked
around and saw the horse coming at
full speed in front of Windsor Hotel.
He was on his way to Jail with two
prisoners, but nevertheless he made
a dash for the frightened animal and
succeeded in securing firm hold up
on the lines. He bravely swung to
them and after almost being dragged
to the bridge managed to stop the
horse, just in time to save collision
with two horse wagon. The lady
did not seem to be much frightened,
but was profused in her thanks to Mr..
Judy, who modestly retired to his
home near by as if nothing unusual
had happened, little thinking that he
had become hero and was entitled
to Carnegie hero medal.

resented by Hon. @. j. Bronston, of
