HONEST ABE. e. S. Nj.
Despairing Lovers Turn to Hin for
Hope.

Abe said the good wife # Farm

the other morning on my rounds.
I've got a peck of trouble on nv
out "
I'm surely do it What's the mat
Lucy is out there under the cherry
tree. Go out and talk to her"
found Lucy with red eyes and
pale face. and at sight of me she be-
gan TO weeping. 1t took me ten min
utes to learn the particulars, and then
FOUND that the young man who was
engaged to her was letting his thoughts
stray towards another. She felt hu-
initiated, and yet too proud to write
to him. but after a little argument I
made her understand that there was
hoth1ng like f1rSt-class poem to make
recreant lover sit W and take notice.
then went into the house and wrote
the following on the kitchen table and
placed it in her hands to copy and
Forward. and 1 may say right here
that Enoch didn't wait till Friday ev
ening to put in an appearance but call
ed at once and asked forgiveness and
was taken back:
have loved thee. Enoch Davis
nave loved thee well and true:
have loved when thunder Numbered
1 have loved when cyclones blew
Other fellers came a-wooing.
But they got no smiles from me;
some We're worth a thousand dollars
But turned from them to thee.
Now they tell me thou art smitten
With the charms of Nancy Lane;
And you'll shake your little Lucy
As we shake counterpane.
Pause a moment Enoch Davis,
Pause a moment. ere to late;
70 r 7
Ere YOU take a final skate.
With two hundred of your letters,
Each one breathing warmest love;
Each one begging me to wed you
And become your turtle dove.
L can go unto a lawyer
Who will start a suit for me;
And the verdict of the jury
1t will find you UP a tree.
Bewarei Beware. Oh. Enoch Davis,
How you rouse a woman's hate;
III expect you Friday evening,
And Ill meet you at the gate.
1t was another case of love and des-
pair when I reached Farmer Haz-
Yards. but in this instance it was a
sunburned hired man instead of a
pale-faced girl. Jim Scott, the farm
er's hired man. had knocked off work
that day, claiming to be i'll and was
lying on the grass in the front yard.
Mrs Hazard. who came out for the
letter. gave me the wink, and 1 went
over to Jim and said 1 hoped it was
nothing serious.
But it is. Abe" he replied with
solemn shakes of his head. Its so
serious that 1 may not be on earth two
days hence
'where do you feel it the most?"

PEACE is DECLARED.
War Between Board of Trade and
Elevator Men Ends.

Chicago, Sept. IA treaty of peace
has been declared between the Chicago
board of trade and the allied elevator
interests. ending the war which for sew
eraI months has been a disturbing ele-
ment in the grain trade. The owners of
the elevators, it is said, have acceded
to the demands of the exchange as to
the conduct of important features of
their business. All the big concerns
made application to the board of trade
directors to have their respective ware
houses declared regular under the rules
of the exchange. These applications
will be considered at a special meeting
of the directors and it is generally ex-
pected they will be favorably acted on.
All of the elevators agreed last July
not to renew their state licenses which
are necessary to the operating of pub
tic houses.
This threat was serious menace to
the status of contracts made in the pit,
and the board in order to protect itself
made application for an injunction re-
straining the elevator interests from
going out of business as public ware
house men.
The injunction was granted and on
rehearing was sustained by Judge Car
ter of the Illinois supreme court and
still remains In effect

asked him to tell me all about it and

stopped at Farmer Andrews and
told Betty she ought to have her ears
boxed, and two days later I heard that
things were all serene and the goose
hung high:
sit by my winder assigning
I sit by my winder and grieve;
The 10y of my life has departed
And this world am ready to leave.
I loved the fair Betty Andrews
The dearest and sweetest Of all;
I worshiped her tracks on the
meadow
Her name in my sleep did call
She captured my heart. the dear Betty,
And I thought in return 1 was loved;
But it seems. that like an old basket,
Way back on the shelf am showed.
1 sit by my winder a-thinking,
And there's nothing that bids me to
hope;
And so in the smoke-house tomorrow
I'll tie me moose in rope.
I'll utter the name of my Betty,
And I'll murmur a prayer and
From a world where a tickle young
Can bust up a fond. bleeding heart.
Then mebbe she'll wish that she
And mebbe some tears she will shed
And mebbe some day she will wander
And gaze at the spot where I'm
dead.

another hired man case. He sat on
the back steps with his head in his
hands and shivers going over him,
and it took-me a quarter of an hour TO
get his story. Then 1 wrote him the
verses given below. and / am happy
to say that as soon as they were
copied and sent to the girl in the case
she gave the windmill man the shake

oh, let appendicitis come!
oh, let typhoid surround me!
OH let the germs of fell disease
One every side abound me!
Oh. let bull give me a toss!
oh, let a cyclone bounce me!
Oh let a cloud-burst come alongl
oh, let the earthquake jounce me!
A week ago NV heart did funk
With happiness unfettered;
My soul it sang from morn till night, |
And things could not be bettered.
But when the windmill man he came, |
Came like some skulking shadow;
Came like a serpent creeping through |
The grass of some old meadow.
In one brief week he won the heart
Of her on whom I dotted;
The heart of fairy Susan Brown
Which in her bosom f1oated.
I'm left alone my grief to bear
I'm left her name to cherish;
But tits a burden far too great,
And SO 1 quickly perish.
some paris green I'll swaller down
Ny juglar vein I'll sever;
md with the ak I'll cut my throat
And jump into the river.

Paris, Feb. 4-Only the presence
of the police prevented a riot at the

in which the French Apostolic Cath
Ole church was inaugurated Sunday.
The announcement of the attempt to
organize a schisIn has stirred up the
militant Catholics, who organized
hostile reception, with the intention of
breaking up the services. Handbills
were distributed, containing the words
of popular air, describing Archbish-
OPP Vilatte, head of the Independent
Catholic movement in America, as an
American monkey, whom M. BRAND,
minister of public instruction and
worship, desired to make a French
pope.
Several thousand persons were out
side the church and scores of others
penetrated the already crowded
church. Interruptions commenced as
soon as Father Roussin, pastor of the
church, began his sermon, welcoming
the representatives of Catholic. indie
pendents and the dawning of the day
when the church of Jesus Christ will
unite in Christian charity
He thanked Archbishop Vilatte for
aiding the French Catholics in estab-
fishing the first church, saying he
was consecrated by the patriarch of
Antioch, the successor of st. Peter.
A shout in the rear of the edifice,
HE is an communicated" was the
signal for general tumult, and Faith
Ell Roussin finally was compelled to
ask that the police be summoned.
About so persons were expelled from
the church and quiet was practically
maintained until Archbishop Vilatte
| appeared on the altar in the robe and
mitre of an archbishop. Instantly the
din began again, with redoubled force,
almost drowning his words.
Nevertheless he calmly continued,
saying he had been a missionary for

ing: Even to those who interrupt
and revile me, l say l will not ex-
communicate. l wish you no i'll. God
be with you. Amen"
A score or more of persons were
then elected before Archbishop Vilatte
proceeded with the celebration OF
pontifcial mass, in which he observed
the Catholic rites. During the eleva
ton Of the host, the militant Cath
clics, instead of kneeling, climbed into
their chairs. In the meantime the
police had cleared the streets outside
the church and there were no demon
