In the valley of the Lyn, near Lyn.
mouth, North Devon. there is a quaint
little hamlet called Midlothian, where
for three months in the year the sun
is not seen.
The cluster of houses forming the
hamlet is surrounded on all sides by
hills so steep and high that from No
vember until February the sun does
not rise high enough to be seen over
their tops.
The first appearance of the sun is
eagerly looked for, and it is first seen
on February IA, the inhabitants call 1t
their valentine
If the day should be foggy or cloudy
so that it cannot be seen, there is
great disappointment, especially
among the children. For the first few
days after the fourteenth the sun is
only seen for a very short time, but
as the sun rises higher in the heavens
the time it is in sight increases daily
until its height Is reached, when it
gradually begins to fade from view
again until in November it entirely
vanishes from sight for another three
months.

RE LISTENED WHEN TOO LATE
Short-Tempered Old Gentleman In
sisted on Silence, and Result In
creased lrritability.

At a recent literary gathering
Charles Garvice, the well known nov
elist, told story Of an irritable old
man who hurried into barber shop
one afternoon.
Addressing the man he found in
charge, he snapped: Il want you to
cut my hair, and do It without talk
ing | can't bear TO have barber
talking to me while he's cutting my
hair
Yes, sir" was the reply, but you
See"
There you are," broke in the old
gentleman. you want to start at
once, and you'll cackle.cackle all the
time. | know YOU and your tribe.
You cut my hair and hold your
tongue
Yes, sir; but l should like to tell
you"
And don't want to listen," rotort,
ed the old gentleman; Just you cut
my hair, and don't talk"
"But surely, sir, you'll allow me
to say"
Il won't allow you to say anything
snapped the other | don't want to
listen to you. | don't suppose you've
got anything to say that | don't know
already. Your business is to cut my
hair and hold your tongue, and I'll be
obliged if you'll make a start"
The old gentleman glared defiantly,
pumped into the chair and shut his
eyes as sign that he wouldn't hear
another word. The badgered man, with
an air of desperation, grabbed a pair
OF scissors and set to work with
them. When the operation was finish.
ed the old gentleman grunted, opened
his eyes and stared at himself in the
glass. Every remaining hair on his
head quivered with indignation and
horror.
Call that hair cuttng!" he shout
ed. "Why, it's disgracefully done!
1t looks as If 1t had been gnawed
by a rat! Do you call yourself a
barber? You're no more a barber
than ami"
No, sir; you're right at last, sir!"
roared the man in reply. I'm a pork
butcher from round the corner, and
I'm only taking care Of the shop while
the barber has gone out for his tea"

HIS ONLY SOLUTION.

Senator Golf Of West Vidginia, who
has been transferred from the bench
to the senate by the Legislature as

of a telephone call from friend at
the state house informing him of his
election. The friend paid the five
cents.

Young Answered

The answer Of Hon. Fl. q. Young "a
the claim of VIM. J, Macdonald in the
contest for the seat In congress fiom
this district now held by Mr.. oung.
was flied during the week.
Mr. Young admits the principal al.
legations made by Macdonald but de-
nies his right to the seat for number
of reasons. among them being the fact
that Mr. MacDonalds name couldn't
legally be printed on the ballot at elec.
tIon for the reason that Mr. MacDon.
alb was enrolled as republican and
that Rev. Rogers Of Ishpeming who
was nominated for the Office by the
prugressives at the primary and resign.
ed was himself enrolled as republican
and was thus ineligible for the nomin.
alton and so Mr.. Macdonald couldn I
be selected 10 fiji vacancy that didn I
exist
Mr.. Young admits having sent word
10 the different boards of election com-
missioners requesting that Mr. Mac
Donald's name be left on the ballot but
adds that he was robbed Of just as
many votes bysan interview which Mr..
Macdonald gave out 10 the press as
Mr.. Macdonald claims to have lost in
the Ontonagon mixup. Macdonald,
after the Groesbeck telegram. issued a
letter TO the press iu which it was in
timatsd that the Groesbeok telegram
was sprung TO keep him off the ballot
with Mr.. Young's cognizance.
