I’d been a widow four years before I even thought of a successor to poor Jackson, and a father for my only daughter, Louvina. I might have gone on much longer without thinking of it if Joel Smitherson, agent for a nurs- ery firm up North, hadn’t come our way, selling fruit trees, berry bushes and grape-vines. He was the prettiest man I ever saw in my life. And he had such a way of agreeing to all I said that I thought he had more sense and better judgment than any of my former acquaintances. So I always made him welcome and brought out the sweetest cider, with bread or cakes, to make him stay as long as I could. He didn’t go on about the mountains and clifis as other stran- gers did; like me he was thankful for the valley, and used oftén to wish he could level the hills, and when on Sun- day he went with me to meeting, while Lon walked beside us dressed like a doll, he agreed with me that no pret- tier little girl walked the sands of Poor Valley. As fair time was near at hand, Mr. Smitherson decided to stay in the neighborhood to attend it. To make it more entertaining I concluded to finish, a nice web of jeans I had in the loom and offer it for a premium. I usually took something; last year it had been a cake of home-made soap; but now I aspired higher, and as no woman in the country could beat me on jeans, I felt pretty certain of gaining a pre- Inium. The, fair was to open on Tuesday, and as the web lacked several yards of be- -- ing done, and I had a good deal to do beside, I told Lou she might finish it and have the premium if it took one. She was only sixteen, and had never done much weaving, but I thought if she did make a few slips in the warp or filling, that end might be folded in the other and not be noticed. For, in ad- dition to all I had to do, Mr. Smither- son now called every morning, and the pleasure I took in his company over- balanced everything else. But even aside of this . I could not have refused to see the man, for he seemed to have something on his mind which was hard to get off. I felt sorry fer him, and wished I could be faster and help him speak his sentiments; but I couldn’t change my nature, and as it wasn’t leap year, our long talks pand walks never amounted to more than friendly expressions set off with sighs and fervent hand-shakes. He was very modest, and never told me how pretty I was, but I could see his admiration in each glance .of his eyes. He often asked me how the cloth was getting on, and Seemed real glad when one day ‘I told him it would be done in an hour or two. “I’ll have a look at it,” he said, as he told me good-by and turned from the porch toward the old loom house. I would have gone with him, but at the moment my nearest neighbor, the widow Farmer, stepped in to see about getting a seat in our wagon to go next day to the fair. “All right,” I said.. “Lou and the Malicoat girls will be; in the wagon,. and there’ll ‘be a chair to spare for you." “Ain’t you a year?” she asked. “Of Course,” I answered. “But me and Mr. Smitherson intend to travel on horseback.” Looking sly at me she said,— “Well, Lizzy, I never would thought it!” 7, “Thought what?” “That you’d marry ag’in.” “th0 said anything about marry- ing?” I asked, my face burning. “Oh, nobody, to be sho’, but the signs p’int that way! Well, I hope he’ll make you as good a man as the other one you lost was.” goin’ yourself this ’a left. .Next morning the ox wagon full of girls, with Miss Farmer and my web of jeans, together with a big basket full of bread, cakes, pies and elder, rolled off down the valley at an early hour. Mr. Smitherson came early too, but there was no need to hurry, as we on horses could be in ample time. As We rode down the valley, with the ' bright October sun lighting it up splen- did, I thought the grass had neVer looked so fresh and green before, while on either side of us the timber on the mountains looked like great webs of pretty calico. And glancing at my companion, elegant in his best Sun— ‘ day suit, and looking, like Hercules, so pretty and proud, I wished for no hap- . pier lot than to travel the rest of life’s journey by his side. , But I thought he was not as lively as common, and that his eyes had a weary look as be avoided my gaze and ldoked at a peak on the distant moun- tain. All at once the suspicion darted . through my mind that he might have a wife and family'somewhcrc in the l I silently echoed the wish and She \ world, "and may be this was what troubled him- But a glance into the true blue eyes put the unjust suspicion to flight. Sad and common quiet he was, but he was no impostor, of this I felt certain. tell me of his love and ask me tovbe his wife, and not knowing how I felt toward him he was afraid. I must en- courage him, and to this end I present- ly said,— “Wouldn't it be a blessing to always have fall?” I thought he’d say “Yes, though any season would suit me with you al- ways by my side.” But he didn’t seem to catch on, for with a sad smile he only said he preferred spring. And this so upset me that I gave up trying to help him; he must work out his own will in his own way. And if his heart broke through his own awkwardness, I couldn‘t charge my conscience with it. ‘ \V'c rode into the fair grounds just behind the wagon. After assisting me to ’light, Mr. Smitherson turned to help Mis’ Farmer and the girls from the vehicle. And Mis’ Farmer, turning to me, said we might as well go in, it would take him so long to put up the stock. So we went into the first house we came to, which happened to be the Floral Hall, we found more pretty things than you could shake a stick at. I stopped to look at Flora in a field of flowers encased in glass, and I stood there so long that Mis’ Farmer and the girls left me, and went on looking at first one pretty thing, then another. I Was glad they were gone, and set down on a velvety lounge to wait for Mr. Smitherson. . Just before where I sat was a small house, complete, with windows, oors and everything like a fine mansion, only it wasn’t larger than a parlor. It was neatly painted and finished inside and out, and was furnished with the prettiest little chairs, table, settee, car- pet and curtains, while the broken bricks on the mantel was painted and fixed up as if they’d been brought from some holy land. The house had bum] built by the wife of a master car- penter. and I think it ought to be kept l'ol'm'r-l' to prove that a. woman is the equal of any man—in point of work and good judgment, I mean. In every- .1214.»- vlse she is already acknowledged to be his superior. l I‘lct‘ci'lltillt‘ll to wait there for Mr. Smithersmi. and when he came I wmsid show him into the little house, and it“ he wanted to propose, why, he‘d never find a, better place. But I waited and waited till I got uneasy. ‘v'lmt if he had taken both the horses and made off? At the thought great drops of cold sweat started on my forehead; but I soon shook 01f my fear by reflecting that he might have had considerable difficulty in obtaining stalls for the horses and oxen. Just as I reached this conclusion I saw him enter the hall door. My heart fluttered at the sight of his tail figure and beaming face, for it was beaming now as he laughed and talked to some one at his side—some one with a lot of laces and red ribbons on her hat. Who could it be? Ah, I saw now; it was only little Lou, and I was glad to have them so friendly. It was right that she should be civil to her future step- father, and that he should love her as I did. Coming into the hall they first en- tered the little'cot, with loud exclama- tions on its beauty and completeness. I made a movement to rise and join them when be, leading Lou to the set- tee, drew her to a place beside him as he said in a low tone,— “My darling is tired!" She blushed like a rose, and he, tak- ing her hand, said something so low that I could not understand; but I felt my heart sink like indigestion as I thought this was fatherly kindness overdone. Presently he asked,— “What does your mother say? Have you told her yet?” “No,” she replied with a troubled look. “I tried, but I couldn’t do it.” He smiled. . “I’ve been end'eavoring for a week past to tell her. But I can’t. So I guess I’ll have to Write the news to her when I go away.” “You will not stay long?” said Lou, with a troubled look. “No, darling. I’ll be back in a week. never to leave you again.” My jeans took the premium, which Lou stoutly refused to claim, saying it belonged to me. The grass and things didn’t look so bright to me as we went home, but I was thankful ”it wasn’t leap year, as in that case I might have betrayed my- self past concealment. Since then I‘ve decided I’m too old to have beans. Accomplishments of Royalty. It would be hard to find a present- for that matter—who has not an artis- tic Or an intellectual fad.

Break or a Dislocation. ‘ Dr. Charles Sweet was known throughout New England as a natural bone setter. He is said to have oper- ated in more than 100,000 cases of bone setting. He came of a family which for three generations has ac- ;uired renown for natural bone-setting Dram SPANISH ability, although no member has had , more than common School education. The. founder of it, who died some years ago, was born in Lebanon, and before he was fifteen years old had become famous on account of his heaven born ability to set. broken bones. When he was still a boy he used to amuse his neighbors by dislocating the bones of domestic farm animals—hens, geese, cats, dogs and calves—and then put- ting them in place again.- Ile did the. trick with wonderful dex— terity. A few years later he was the most famous bone setter in New Eng- land, and his practice extended into all parts of the Eastern and Middle States. Often on being introduced to a man, in shaking hands with him he gave the stranger’ hand an odd, quick twist. The wrist was immediately dis- located, or a finger or two, or the thumb was unjointed. and sometimes everyfinger on the hand was out of joint. Dr. Sweet, although a small man, had great physical strength, and as the fame of his singular doings spread, persons became so much afraid of him that they hesitated to take his hand. It was imagined that the Doctor's pc— culiar natural gift wuuld pass away with the death of its possessor, but it was manifested in an equal degree 'by every one of his great family of chil- dren, and in turn by his grand—chil- ilren. Both generations also inherited his powerful physique and giant strength. Each one at an early ago. im- itated his practice of dislocating the bones of farm animals and then set- ting them, and nearly all his male de- scendants followed the calling of natural bone setters. The women were equally expert in the art of unjointing the human frame and rcjointing it, and in half a dozen Connecticut towns they practice, usually taking no fee for their services. The regular surgeons profess to de- ride the popular belief that the Sweets possess a marvelous natural and sec-rot aptitude for bone setting. It is said that not one of the family aver studied even a book of anatomy. ——.\'ew York Tribune. A Diamond Fingernail. When the Comtesse was a very little girl she fed sugar to a pet pon ' and had the tip of her right forefinger crushed by the pony’s teeth. The nail was split and in time dropped off. When the new nail formed it was of egregious thickness, but lacking a bit in area. The thickness of the nail made it amount to a disfigurement, and the Comtesse was heart broken, until in St. Petersburg she made the acquaintanbe of a jeweler who had been employed to do work for the fam— ily of the Czar, and who knew a thing or two. This accomplished artisan persuaded the Comtesse to let him try the ex- periment of inserting a' diamond in :he troublesome nail. With delicate in- struments he bored a hole in the bony substance, put in a diamond rather flatter than the usual run of such gems and carefully cemented the pre- zious ornament in place. It was a very delicate job. Had it failed the Comtesse would have had to go gloved for the rest of her natural :ifc. But it didn’t fall, and now the Bomtesse has the proud distinction of being the only woman in the world who wears a diamond thus oddly. Speaks \Vell for Boston.

'l‘he lleal Significance of the Alleged Reforms For Cuba. A CLUMSILY BAITED TRAP.» Good \Vork of an American Captain In Insurgent Army—Train Blown Up, Supplies Captured and a Sarcas- tic Note Sent to “’eyler. LONDON, Feb. 2.——The Madrid corre- spondent of The Standard states that the contemplated Cuban programme will do nothing more than assert the willingness of the government to entertain suggestions for the reform of. the West Indian tariff and the subsequent improvement of com- mercial relations with the United States, a question which it is intimated the govern— ment and the cortes must approach can- tiously, both measures being likely to clash with the Spanish agricultural and manu- facturing interests as well as the interests of the powers in matters growing out of the situation in Cuba and Puerto Rico. The correspondent announces that it is premature to suppose that colonial reforms in the present condition of the colonies can be so shaped as to resemble the Canadian or the Australian systems of self govern- ment. Cubans Dynamite a Train. KEY WEST, Feb. 2.-—One of General Weyler’s supply trains was dynamited near Cieze, north of Cienfuegos, Cuba. Two bombs were exploded under the engine and fonrundcr the train by electricity as the train was crossing a trestle. The engine Was blown apart and all the cars were splintered. They rolled into the ditch, and of the guard of 100 soldiers 45 were instantly killed or terribly injured. The others surrendered, as 200 Cubans appear- ed. The train was looted of a small field- piece that Weyler had just ordered from Havana and of provisions and ammuni- tion. The cars were burned. The prisoners were released, and the Cu- ban captain sent Weyler a box of sweet bread with a polite note. The captain was an American named Burke, from Indiana. The furnished condjtion of 1311' people in Pinar dcl Bio, especially at Artemisa, San Cristobal and Pinar del Rio city' is well known.

A Fearful Story or spanish Atrocities In' Stricken Cuba. KEY WEST, Feb. i.-—A horrible story, comes from Remedies. Near Placetas the insurgents had a large hospital, where were quartered sick and wounded-soldiers. Near tie insurgent camp was also located the well known leper hospital of C'ardosa, in which were about 20 unfortunates. Guarding the insurgent hospital was a company of Cuban amazons, numbering about 70, under command of Senorita Inez Alvarez, whose father and brothers had been butchered by Spaniards and who had taken up arms for revenge. , The hospital was a solitary location and was thought to be safe from Spanish mo- lestation. But a' colonel of the Spanish regiment Dc Bourbona, operating in that district, learned of the hospital’s location and sent 500 men to destroy it. The Span- iards attacked at night and fired the build-' ings. The inmates and amazon guards awoke to find flames roaring about them. The sick and wounded soldiers could not escape, but the amagons rushed out, only to be greeted by a murderous fire. i’ The amazons.fought bravely, but they were soon shotdown. Many of them were only woundeu, but even these were butch- ered, except eight, whose peculiar beauty led the Spanish commander to order them saved for a fate worse than death. . In the hospital there were more than 70 sick and wounded soldiers, six surgeons and ten nurses. Not one of these escaped, and, including the amazons, nearly 150 people fell victims to Spanish thirst for slaughter. Returning._ the Spaniards passed the leper hospital, which they set on fire, and nearly all the. inmates perished in the flames. LOUISVILLE’S SCANDAL. The Grand Jury Says the City Is Honey- combed \Vith Official Corruption. LOUIvaLLE, Feb. 1.——The report of the January grand jury was hardly less sensa- tional than had been promised. Such a. shaking up as has resulted from its inves- tigation of municipal affairs has never be- fore been known in the history of the city government, including among the accused alderman, police officials, patrolinen, con- tractors and several minor offenders. The charges 115 so from neglect of duty in fail- ing to prosecute gamblers to conspiracy to extort money. The disclosures made in these indictment-s are principally due to a falling out of the factions in the city gov- ernment. . The persons inflicted are: R. E. King, president of the. i .il‘d of aldermcn and ex officio member (;. the Sinking fund com- mission; Aldcrmain J. E. Leather-man, R. O. Breucr, C. J. Jenne and John De Gar- mo, Night Chief of Police Major Sebastian Gucnther, Patrolmen Nicholas Varilla and Steve Condley, Contractor Drake, Charles Kremer, Jr., secretary of the board of pub- lic safety: i’at Ahoarn, saloon keepcl '; Harry in b ., fireman, and William Kim- ball, Martin Donohue and John Gill. The grand jury in its report says many cases brought before it could not be inves- tigated for lack of time. It continues: “That some persons holding high official positions have not been indicted does not indicate that those indicted are the only guilty ones in official positions. That the city is honeycombed with official corri 'i- tion is the firm conviction of this jury, yet not enough evidencce could be procured ) secure convictions in many cases to which the attention of the jury was called.” May Destroy the Mine.

The reasons for this are many. The chief one is that Bushnell wants the seat in the senate him- self. “Third.-—When the resignation Of Senv ator Sherman is received, Governor Asa; S.

CANTON, 0., Feb. 1.—-General Collis of' New York had a conference with Major McKinley yesterday. When seen by an Associated Press representative, General Collis said that his interview with the president elect was a. decidedly pleasant one.
