 Down in Dixie is d war play in which the subject is treated in fair and unprejudiced manner The hero is from the North. the heroine from the South. and both are splendid types of trae-hearted Americans A Southern william and Northern seoundrel each figure prominently in the story, and the latter is much the worst of the two We dislike Bradley and are glad to see him feiled. but we thoroughly despise Sniffins, and when. at the last, he is threathen- ed with coat of tar and feathers We hope he will receive it.

John Roberts of Watkins, Schuyler
county, a well driller, recently pur-
chased Of Angelo Dupree, junk deal
er, an old pump for 10 cents. 1t was
apparently Of no value, but he thought
there might be some parts that he
could use in his business. When Mr..
Roberts and his assistant took the
pump to one of the wells they were
drilling and started breaking it up,
they were greatly surprised to see gold
coins drop out Of the holes they made.
They at once faished the job and
found $4,000. nearly all in twenty dol
lar gold pieces. Whom the pump be-
longed to at the time the money was
hidden or how long it had been there
Is a mystery. The latest date Of any
Of the coins was 1883. Mr.. Roberts
at once deposited his find in the Farm
ers and Merchants bank at Watkins

An inspired Sculptures.

As a mere girl Miss Winnie Ream, the
sculptress, visited Rome, her soul filed
with enthusiasm for music and art.
On one occasion she was taken to one
Of Liszt's concerts and was fortunate
enough to obtain a seat near enough
to have touched him with her hand.
As the great master played she lis
tened rapturously to the wonderful
music, entranced and forgetful OF ev-
erything save the glorious sounds pro-
duced by his inspired touch.
At pause Liszt turned and looked
at her. and quietly, without word, he
leaned and overlaid one hand over
hers and gently pressed it In silent
recognition Of the appreciation which
glowed in her large black eyes and
filed her whole being. At the close OF
the concert he turned to her and said,
my child, we need no introduction"
At her earnest request that be would
sit for her he readily consented, and
she modelled the bust from life, putting
in the work the true artists inspiration
and power, which alone can give to 1t
the touch Of strength and life.-Balt-

A kjno In 4 Hurry,

Before leaving for France, after his
recent visit to England. King Alfonso
made a call on a well known firm of
jewelers. in Regent street. London
After a cursory glance around the
showrooms he looked at his watch and
exclaimed:
II wish to buy q few things, but am
in great hurry"
He purchased a number of sets OF
game bird menu holders in silver and
enamel. a gold elephant charm, some
handsome diamond ornaments and 9th
er pieces OF jewelry, then, remarking
that he had only ten minutes In which
to catch his train, suddenly swept up
all the articles from the counter and,
without waiting for them to be put in
paper, thrust them into his pockets
and was gone, the visit occupying Just
three minutes.

Af<.r , South African Storm.

Af<or 4 South African Storm.
With the breaking Of the day went
outside. The country was unrecogntsa-
bic. The land and the scenery which
had known for years were entirely al
tered. The very hills, piled high With
white hailstones, were a different
shape, and torrents of muddy water
Toured down from all sides. And when
the red sun rose into clear bright
sky the scene Of ruin and desolation
was awful to look at. Buildings had
been hurled to the ground and were
nothing more than hills Of hailstones.
A large dam I had spent two years IN
making had been completely swept
away. In another dam which had re-
NAMED unbroken the hailstones had
accumulated and piled themselves up
over twenty feet in height. There was
not sign Of water in this huge dam,
just huge pile Of frozen hailstones'-

A THRIFTY TOWN.
Athors Old Financial Contract With
Lyman jennings.

Athors Old Financial Contract With
Lyman Jennings.
By the terms Of contract entered
into thirty-one years ago between Ly-
man jennings, then ffty-nine years
old, and the town Of Athol, in Massa-
chusetts, he gave the town $4,000 out
right on its agreement to pay him In
terest on it at 6 per cent as long as he
lived-$54O a year-and then to con-
tinue after his death to pay to his
widow $50 a year and to each of his
three children $12O a year, an amount
equal to that which Jennings would
receive yearly during his lifetime, as
long as each of these four heirs might
live. The results Of the contract are
being widely commented upon as a
ruinously reckless deal by that thrifty
New England town. The selectmen
decided to take up with Jennings Of
fer after applying the figures Of life
insurance mortuary table to the five
proposed benedciaries. Jennings lived
thirty years instead Of the fourteen
and a half years that they had credit
ed him with. The town meantime had
paid out to him $16,2O0. His wife and
one daughter now survive him, and
the town is paying them together $500
a year ana must continue to pay one
$3.50 a year and the other $120 so long
as each lives. In other words, it is
now getting the use Of $1,000 for only
about 1-3 per cent interest. II it in
vested the principal properly there
ought to be a good profit in this. But,
supposing Jennings had put that $4,000
In a good savings bank back In 1877,
he would have drawn $40 a year on
it for at least fifteen years or SO and
after that only per cent or 4 per cent
or perhaps as low as 81 per cent at
times, but on an average interest of
AZ per cent for the full period he
would have drawn $12,5O0 in all, and
his widow and daughter would now be
drawing per cent on 1t, or $500 a
year instead Of $500, and, besides this.
they, not the town, would own the
$1,000. Lyman Jennings wasn't near
~ as good "fggerer'' as the town Of
Athol was, after all.-New York Com

BY the Name Of "x."

~ the Name OF "%.
In France, where great care is taken
that men shall have no other name
than that to which they are lawfully
entitled and where every citizens
name, profession, social condition and
history are carefully recorded and his
goings and comings are officially kept
track Of, some very curious incidents
take place.
On one occasion young man was
arrested in Constantine, Algeria, on 4
charge of stealing money belonging to
his employer. When it was sought to
make a record of bis name, it was
found that he had no lawful name at
all.
He had been 'inscribed" at Bordeaux
at the date of his birth, but his father
and mother were not known, and the
name Of I.afonde, under which he had
been inscribed without authority he
had since been forbidden by court Of
justice to bear because it was not
rightfully his. After having been for
hidden the name of LafOnde he took
that of Bruyton and was refused per-
mission to bear that.
Nevertheless he managed to exist IN
some way without any name at all,
but when, having been accused OF tax
ing some money that had disappeared,
the law was obliged to take cogn1zance
of him in some way he was entered on
the lists of the court as one tx" And
it was as TX" that he was sent to
prison.-New York Tribune.
