After Twenty Years.

He a asking the old man for his
daughter in marriage. He was talk,
ing tremblingly. hesitatingly, as the
heroes do in story books. Now came
the old mans turn to speak, and as
he began his face was white with pas,

ment.

said the father. "Ah! Twenty years
ago your father crippled me in q stock
deal, and l swore to be revenged
And now my time has come"
He paused for breath, and the as.
pirant for the maiden's hand was

face of supposed defeat wher the IA
her broke forth again:

and Ill strike the father through the

take her, and may she prove as ex
pensive to you as she has to me-"

worn out with the excitement of biz
plot, and the young man tainted.

Charleston.-A joint meeting of the
debt commission appointed by Virginia
and West Virginia to consider the pay
ment of the s13,000.000 judgment
which recently was rendered against
the state of West Virginia by the su-
preme court of the United States, was
suggested by the West Virginia com

The suggestion of the West Virginia
officials is made in a letter by Cover
nor Hatfield to Chairman Downing, of
the Virginia commission, in reply to
the letter of the Virginia authorities
that unreasonable delay would ensue
unless the Panhandle legislature is
assembled in extra session. The Hat
field letter follows: Upon receipts
of your very courteous letter relative
to the payment of the judgment of the
commonwealth of Virginia the state OF
West Virginia, recently rendered by
the supreme court of the United

debt commission, and, in conjunction
with them, have reached the concur
sion that it would be to the advantage
of both states to have a joint confer

GAVE A TOUCH OF REALISM
Member of Congregation Helped Out
Minister Who Was Discoursins on
the Theme of Hades.

Gov James F. Fielder of New Jer
sey smiled when reference was made
to realism. He said he recalled an in
cident that happened in a little coun
try church.
One Sunday night the good parson
of the aforesaid church chose Hades
for his theme, and even as he elo-
quently discoursed an absent-minded
member of the congregation began TO
toy with a nickel-plated match safe.
Finally the matches caught fire and
the same was necessarily dropped to
the floor and covered with large
foot.
1T is wonderful, Mary" whispered
an elderly woman to a friend in the
seat ahead of the manipulating par
ishioner. TT is simply wonderful!

remarks, Sarah" responded the other
in a subdued voice.
Yes answered the first, gently
shifting the sulphur-scented air, Il

When Napoleon invaded Russia, AMI

fed Laptieff's family. hiding in the
recesses of a forest But curiosity
drew him, and he hid in a tree to

guide to the vanguard of the army.
This he did for SO hours and then es-
capped. He fought against both of his
country's present allies, against the
French at Borodino, and against the
English in the Crimea. Tired of max
ing history, he took to making bricks.
