A Pathetic Incident.

Just across from the little depot
was the town graveyard, and sitting
on baggage-truck on the platform
was a ragged, lonesome man, whom
anyone would have spotted at once
for tramp. There were a dozen of
us walking up and down as we waited
for the train, but for quarter of an
hour the tramp sat with his head in
his hands and had nothing to say to
anyone. Then passenger. who was
evidently on good terms with him
self, walked up to the man and said:
Dead broke, of course, old man p
Yes, dead broke replied the
man on the truck, as he looked up.

man. Perhaps you are also worry

and climbed the graveyard fence.
Half q dozen of us followed him,
and as We reached the fence and
looked over. he pointed to three
graves, which were so new that the
grass had not taken root, and said:

FOR THE LAUNDRY.

With the advent of warm weather,
the laundering of lawns and muSlins
becomes of interest, and here is a
good starch recipe: To make thick
starch use eight times rs much water
as starch, and quarter of a teas
poonfull of paraffin wax, boraX or
spcrmaceti to one quart of water,
adding salt if the goods are likely
to fade or the colors to run. All
these ingredients should be added
when the starch begins to cook. Thin
starch should have twice rs much
water rs thick starch, but thick
starch may readily be thined to suit,
using hot water. Starch to prevent
sticking. should be thoroughly cook
ed, and clear in color. Make q thin
paste by blending the starch with
sufficient cold water to prevent its
Jumping when boiling water is add
edit should be about the consis-
tency of good cream, and the water
to be added should be boiling when
poured into it, stirring the mixture
fast as it thickens, beating out any
Jumps that may form. as it is apt to
do if the cold starch is not thinned
sufficiently. When all the boiling
water is added, cook over heat, or
set into a kettle of boiling water,
stirring, and let cook about five min
uteS. Keep covered and hot until
ready for use.
Keep all laundry vessels and ma
chinery clean, and when done using
on wash day, clean thoroughly before
setting them away The clothes
pins and the lines and clothes sticks
should be kept in calico, or clotl
bags, and the kettles should be dry
and hung up.

HEART-RENDING CALAMITY
A Beautiful Girl Found HanGinf

just rs the STANDARD goes to press
we are startled with the following
details of a sad event which will cast
Il shade of gloom over this commun-
ity. For the present, out of respect
for the suffering parents of the lady,
we refrain publishing the names Of
the drunatis prrso"" in the scene
described below:
For the last ten years there has
been in Olympia an eminently re-
spectacle family. the pride of whose
household was Il charming daughter
of seventeen. She was as beautiful
as the ideal of the poet, and rs re-
markable for Intelligence as fOr sur
passing loveliness. Her eyes were
like stars on q Summer night, and
her form, warmed by youthful. vigor-
Gus womanhOod, was as graceful as
that of a Grecian goddess. Her hair
hung in graceful ringlets over her
lovely shoulders like mOulten gold,
and her cherry cheeks, as soft as
velvet, looked like roses mingled with
snow. AS q natural result one would
expect that a creature possessed OF
such charms of mind and form and
feature would awaken the grand pas
sion in some mans bosom; such was
the case. For several months past,
a fascinating young gentleman. well
known on Main street, has been pay
ing her the most devoted attention.
He, too, was handsome and intelll-
gent. Her young lady friends would
occasionally tease her about him, and
o flood of conscious bushes would
irradiate her beautiful face at the
very mention of his name. Every
thing seemed to pass along smoothly
for a while, when all of sudden she
lost her spirits and wore a look OF
melancholy. Her musical laughter
was hushed, and she seemed like
lily that had been made to fade by
burning rays of Summers sun
Her parents became anxious abou
her condition and watched over hel
with tender solicitude. Although
frequently questioned as to TIT
cause of her depression and sadness
she made no reply except in an equiv
ocal kind of style that rendered con
fusion worse cOnfOunded. Last even
ing. about 8 O'Clock, she was missed
from her home, and the worst fear
of her parents were excited. The.
sought high and low, but she was no
where to be found. At length he
father remembered that of late sh
had been in the habit of sitting, sad
weeping and distracted in a vine
covered arbOr situated in the garden
He rushed to the arbOr, and as tha
distracted father gazed upon tn
scene that met his view, rendered
more dismal by the dim, glimmerin'
starlight, his blood curdled in hi
veins, his cheeks turned pale, ant
the heaving of his bosom plainly toll
that it was filled with deepest emo
ton. There before him was hi
beautiful daughter, her tall ant
graceful form arrayed in spotles
white, her long, golden hair stream
ing like food of light down to he
waist, hanging-oh think of it yOun'
men and maidens and parents-hang
ing with her arms around her lOv
er's neck and her head pillowed ol
! his manly breast.

COLD GRAY DAWN
TURNS TO DARK
AS STORM BURSTS
Nearly Nights Blackness as ALI
Day Rain Begins Steady
DOwnp0ur.

A heavy rainstorm from the West,
twelve hours overdue, reached Newark
early today and proceeded to make up
for lost time The storm was announced
from Washington for the late afternoon
or early evening of yesterday, but on
account of faulty aerial connections and
because it was forced several times to
schedule time.
About a. m. 1t grew so dark that a
man waiting at the Four Corners to
make touch" let his friend and in
tended victim pass within few feet Of
him and get away. So anyone who was
asleep at that hour can understand Just
how dark it was. 1t seemed as though
the pale gray day, disgusted with the
prospect, had crawled back for a few
hours more sleep. This condition had
endured twenty minutes. when the
gentle rain began to descend-not fran
tically, as though it had several other
dates to keep before nightfall, but at a
steady, logged, good for -all-day and
all-night. Marathon gait. And Professor
Wiener, of the local weather bureau.
unlike DIR. Munyon, holds out no hope.
Professor Wiener said that 1t would
probably rain all day. and nothing has
happened since that time to cause him
TO want to amend that statement.
1t may afford a little consolation to
some to know that there is nothing un-
usuaul about the weather of today for
this time of year. The darkness in
jected little novelty into the situation.
and it is easily explained by the fact
that 1t was too warm for all the mois-
ture in the air to be precipitated.
To the man who has not yet pur-
chased a new straw hat. weather con-
ditions come as q godsend, enabling
him easily to stave the purchase off
until tomorrow, and to appear conde-
scending and sympathetic with the man
who bought his when the barrier for
the straw hat season went up.
