The Eavorite Girl.

She is the girl who is not too bright
and too good" to be able to find JOY
and pleasure all over the world, says
the Chicago News.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always have the
first choice of everything in the world.
She is the girl who is not aggressive
and does not find joy in melting ag-
gressive people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the very thing that will
cause the skeleton in her friends closet
to rattle his bones.
She is the girl who, whether 1t Is
warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds
no fault with the weather.
She is the girl who when you invite
her to any place compliments you by
looking her best.
She is the girl who makes this world
a pleasant place because she Is 20

Little by little we are coming out
of the chaos of the flood. The East
Main street arch bridge is being re-
paired by Springfield parties; "home
talent" has got the River street bridge
nearly ready for the timbers while a
gang has been shoveling out the old
river bed, and in day or two the
water will be turned back from the
new course iG has made for itself.
The effect of this will be to lower the
water which now sets back in the
west river, and prevents the prosecu-
tion of farther search for property in
the bed of that river, and particularly
that for the body of Mr.. Speeding,
which many believe to be in the chan
mel of that stream or in the cove, de-
spite reports of a body having been
seen to go down the river with the
flood. The failure to find this body
is one of the saddest features left of
y
unfound-that of L. W. Crane, the
contents of which, however, were of
small value, Mr.. @. having removed
his books to his house. The railroad
company have collected and taken
away their broken cars, though seven
car trucks are yet reported missing.
Most of these are supposed to be in
the river bed, and will be found when
that is cleaned out for the stream
again.

An EXCITING Escape,

Prince Kropotkin, the Russian revo-
lutionist, once made an exciting es-
cape from a fortress prison in st.
Petersburg. After two years in the
prison he had been removed to the jail
hospital, where plans were matured
by his friends for his flight. He was
allowed to walk for an hour each after
noon, guarded by armed sentries, in
the grounds. A line Of spies outside

streets should be clear. When all was
well a friend in a kiosk opposite the
gates played upon a violin. After one
or two false starts the violinist burst
into a mad melody, and the prisoner,
dinging off an outer garment, leaped
for it. Sentries tried to stab him with
their bayonets; others hesitated to
shoot, believing that they could catch
him. A carriage with a racing horse
In the shafts was waiting. Into it
he sprang, and they left at a gallop.
His beard was cut off, his clothes
changed, and he spent the first hours

BAMPDEN.

The post office building at Hamp-
den, containing the grocery store and
dwelling apartments of w. S. Hunt,
was burned about 4 p. m. Tuesday,
April Sth. The origin of the fire is
not known, and it was first discovered
in one of the rooms over the store.
occupied by one of Mr.. Hunts clerks
By the time an alarm had been
sounded, and number of citizens had
gathered, the fire had made such head.
way that it would have been impos-
sible to save anything, even if the
efforts in that direction had been we'll
directed. The building was one of
the old landmarks of Hampden and
had always been used as store. 1t
was q STORY wooden frame structure
and was partly insured in the old
Springfield Mutual. The loss, how
ever, will be almost total, and is
estimated by Mr.. Hunt at about
$4,000. The stock of the store was
almost totally destroyed, but the
money, stamps and mail in the post
Office were saved and t entire outfit
of the office was taken across the
street, where temporary quarters
were established and an assistant post
master appointed, who distributed the
5 O'Clock mail while the fire was yet
raging.
The fire was discovered by Mr.. Hunt
while he was at work in the store.
His attention was attracted by the
odor of smoke, and his search for the
cause finally led him to the upper
floor, where he discovered the fire al
ready under considerable Roadway in
the bedroom of one of his clerks. The
alarm, which was Immediately given,
drew the whole village to the scene,
and there was considerable confusion
caused by those who rushed in with
greater eagerness than discretion to
carry out whatever they could find. 1t
was impossible. however, to check the
Roadway of the flames, and the
supreme wisdom of the occasion was
displayed when all efforts were uni
ted in saving the post Office equip
|ment. The mail boxes were taken
out bodily, and also ali of the mail
which was in the Office at the time.
Mr.. Hunt himself took charge of the
government money and stamps, also
the account books A barn on the
same lot and some nearby dwellings
were in danger at one time, but owing
to the stormy weather and the pre-
cautions taken by the people present
they were saved AT the end of two
hours the building and it's contents
had been reduced to ashes. The build.
ing was formerly occupied by W. O.
Spellman, who conducted prosperous
business in it for nearly 40 years. In
1870 he extensively remodeled the
block and brought it into what was
then highly modern condition. Mr..
Hunt purchased the block about five
years ago. and he also has found it a
desirable business site.

way to cure deafness, and thai is by constitu-

the result, and unless the Inflammation can be

Spools of thread of different quail

Of factory or maker. The reason for

She Had Many suitors.

Napoleon Ill, when he was living In
London; the Duke d'Aumale, Lord
Beaconsfield and many other conspic-
uous figures of the nineteenth century
are on record as having been among
the suitors for the hand of Miss Bur
dett- Coutts, who afterward became
baroness, and it is doubtful whether
any woman ever received so large a
number OF matrimonial offers as the
baroness. In fact, they became a posi-
tive nuisance, and in 1847 she was
compelled to bring legal proceedings
against lawyer of the name of Rich
ard Dunn, who, according to the
terms Of the Indictment, had for eight
years prosecuted her with most unwel-
come attentions with a view to matri-
mony. Dunn was sent to prison for
eighteen months, although there is no
doubt that he was, while sane in other
matters, perfectly crazy on the subject
Of Miss Burdett- Coutts, as she was
then, and particularly ON the subject of
her Chicago Tribune.
