Some fourteen or more years ago
Charles A. Burr secured for one of the
children at the Town Home a place in
the family of Henry Hanford at Wilton,
on Chestnut Hill so called. '
The little fellow was named Fred
Hope, and he was at the time perhaps
eight years of age, He remained with
the Hanford family until he 'reached
his majority, and has ever since been a
resident of Wilton, and has married.
Some time ago the Selectmen of Nor-
walk received a bill from a Wilton phy-
sician, asking for the payment of $13
for medical attendance on account of
Mr. Hope, it being stated that the se-
lectmen of Wilton had refused to honor
the same on the ground that Norwalk
was responsible for the same.
This bill selectman Selleck refused
to honor, and he is looking into the
legal status of the matter, which at
_ first seems to be decidedly complicated.
As to whether N orwalk or Wilton
will pay the bill is a mooted question.
Neither believes that they ought to
pay and it may be that the courts will
be called upon to settle the matter if
the physician insists on the payment of
his bill.

George H. Scofield of Ponus street,
New Canaan, himself in his 85th year
owned a horse which for the best part
of his twenty-eight years of life had
done him good and faithful service. So
much was the owner impressed with
this fact that, when at last it became
only'too evident that the horse would
be happier under the grass of the Mead-
ow than upon it, Mr. Scofield, like an-
other Hagar, unwilling to see the
death of a creature dear to him, ar-
ranged to give the animal to Samuel
Dibble of North Stamford, upon the
condition that after a few days’ easy
work he should be quietly assigned to
a comfortable grave under the daisies,
but, in the meantime, he was not to be
sold, lent, bartered, traded, or in any
other way disposed of, except that
which was agreed upon.
Mr. Dibble appears to have misun-
derstood or entirely forgotten the con-
ditions. At all events, the venerable
bestower of the horse heard with sur-
prise and chagrin that the animal for
Whose happy release from care and la-
bor he had, as he supposed, provided
for, was sold to Smith Cox for the sum
of $7, cash in hand paid. It was at
once rightly supposed that Mr. Cox did
not pay his seven dollars for the animal
for the privilege of burying it, but had
probably in view a sufficient amount of
horse-labor to repay the investment
and incidental expenses This devel-
opment of the case so greatly worried
the former venerable owner of the
horse that he offered Cox the seven
dollars to buy it back. To this pro“-
position Mr. Cox, being made aware of
the circumstances, very kindly con-
sented, an so the horse was brought
home-and—won’t be sold, lent, or bor-
rowed again, never again. But Mr.
Scofleld naturally complains that his,
benevolent intentions did not work out
exactly as he had planned them. In-
stead of getting rid of a disagreeable
job, he has had to do it, and is out
seven dollars besides,unless Mr. Dibble
shall be convinced that he forgot all
about the conditions.

HE MARRIED (THE MOTHER.
How a. Kentucky Maiden Acquired a Ste
father Instead of a Husband.
In the White Oak neighborhood, in
the eastern end of the county, lived a
comely widow, Mrs. Martha Berry,
aged about forty, and her pretty daugh-
ter, Matilda, who had just entered her
eighteenth year. 'In the same neigh-
borhood lived Johnson Whitley, a pros-
perous farmer, of thirty and a widower.
Whitley had been paying attention to
Mrs. Berry’s daughter for the last six
months, and it was‘generally supposed
throughout the neighborhood that they
would be married soon. The mother,
however, would not give her consent
to the match, but she did not object
to the young widower’s calls. He
pleaded with the widow for the hand
of her daughter, and the young .couple
decided on an elopement says the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
All the arrangements ‘were made for
the clandestine leave taking, but the
watchful mother discovered what was
on foot, and on Friday night, the time
set for the elopement, she went to her
daughter’s room shortly after dark and
bound the girl hand and foot. She
also tied a gag in her mouth and took
her to her own room and tied her to
the bed. She then returned to the
daughter’s room and when Whitley
came to steal away his lady love the
widow answered the summons, and
without speaking a word, joined the
young man in the yard. He assisted
her into his buggyand drove with her
to Grayson, the county seat of Carter
county, where he had arranged with
Judge Morris to perform the ceremony.
Whitley was struck by the silence of
his companion, but as she leaned con-
fidently on his arm and appeared to be
sobbing all the time, he could do noth-
ing more than caress her now and then
and cheer her up by telling her that
her mother would forgive her. He
had no idea that he was carrying off
the mother insteld of the daughter; and
it was not until after the ceremony was
performed on the Judge‘s front porch
and they had repaired to a hotel that
the deception was discovered by VVhit-
1ey.—New York Herald.
THE NATURAL BRIDGE OF TO-DAY.
One of the Notable Place of Interest 150
Years Ago.
The Natural Bridge is 215 feet in
height, 100 feet in width, with a span of
90 feet. Under the arch might be
placed the Washington monument at
Baltimore. Cedar Creek, the stream
over which it stretches its arch, is clear
as- crystal. No photograph or painting
can impress the mind with its immen-
sity or grandeur, or geometrical pro-
portions, or the rich coloring, or the
picturesque surroundings. One must
feast his eyes upon the mighty arch
to realize its vastness. Under the arch
are the outlines of an American eagle,
formed by moSs an‘d lichens. Upon
one side iswhere George »Washington,
when a surveyor for Lord Fairfax, 150
years ago, carved his name in the rock.
The ravagesOf time and exposure of el-
ements have nearly obliterated the
name, but some of the letters are quite
distinct. In the years gone by Henry
Clay, Daniel Webster and many promi
nent statesmen, before railroads were
built, spent days of inconvenient trav
el to look upon this—one of the won-
ders of the world. Now' the iron horse
speeds over its steel roadway, and in
a. feW‘hours one can reach this destin—
ation without fatigue—Baltimore Sun.
A PROPOSAL IN THE TYROL.
If a Girl Accepts 13 Glass of Wine from the
Lower, She Consents to Marry,
In the Tyrol the first time a young
man pays a visit as avowed lover he
takes with him a bottle of win-e. and,
pouring out a glass, presents it to the
object of his affections. If she ac.
cepts it the whole afiair is settled and
his proposal of marriage (unspoken)
has been accepted. Sometimes she is
not prepared to surrender at once, and
then she will make excuses as to wine
disagreeing with her, or that her
priest had forbidden her to takerany,
or, in fact, any subterfuge that occurs
to her at the moment. The purport of
the excuses is that the proposal made
by the offer of the wine is premature.
Not a word need be spoken, as the act
of “bringing the wine,” as it is called,
is synonymous with the act of pro‘
posing, and the custom dates back to
the ninth century. If any of the wine
is spilled it is considered an unlucky
omen, and there is a saying for an un-
happy marriage: “They have spilled
the wine between them.”——Philadel-
phia Ledger. '
A Rebuke to the Christians.
For a heathen and a gentleman out-
side the civilizing influences of Euro-
pean manners, religious and customs,
the King of Siam makes an exceeding-
ly good showing. He has on several
occasions administered stinging and
well-deserved rebukes to his enter—
tainers, to which they were unable to
make adequate reply. Nothing neater
or more merited in the way of a crit-.
icism of the religion and the customs
of his would be civilizers could be de-
vised than his comment upon the col-
lection of the stuffed animals, once
the property of Crown Prince Rudolph
and now in the Natural History Mus-
On being told, in re-

ly; but I do not kill them. I keep
them.” Thus spake the heather to a

A PRACTICAL TEST.
The Invention Proved That It Was Equal
to All That Was Claimed for It.
Dom Pedro, the last Emperor of
Brazil, was a man of a practical turn
of mind, as the following story told
of him by a Spanish newspaper well
illustrates:
He once gave an audience to a
young engineer who came to show him
a new appliance for stopping railway,
engines. The Emperor was pleased
with the idea, but wished to put it to
a. practical test. _
“Day after to-morrow,” said he,
“have your engine ready. We will
have it coupled to my saloon-carriage
and start. When going at full speed I
will give the signal to stop, and then
we shall see how your invention
works.”
At the appointed time all was in
readiness. The Emperor entered his
carriage, the young inventor mounted
his engine, and on they sped for sev-
eral miles as fast as they could go.
There came no signal, and the en-
gineer began to fear that the Emperor
had fallen asleep. Suddenly the en-
gine came to avsharp curve around the
edge of a cliff, when, to his horror the
the track directly ahead of them the
engineer saw a huge boulder.
He had just sufficient presence of
mind to turn the crank of his brake
and pull the engine up within a couple
of yards of the fatal block.
Here the Emperor put his head out
of his car window and demanded to
know the cause of the sudden stop-
page. The engineer pointed to the
rock, and. much to his surprise, Dom
Pedro began to laugh.
“Push it to one side and go on,” he
said, calmly.
The engineer obeyed, and kicking
the stone. was still further astonished
to see it crumble into dust before him.
It was nothing more nor less than a
block of starch which the Emperor had
had made and placed on the rails the
night before.—-Harper’s Round Table. ..

CHORUS 0F WHIPS.
Curious Whip-Cracking Contest in France
with Interesting Exhibitions of Skill.
Nogeant, the thrifty little town on
the river Marne, in France, seems des-
tined to become famous for the oldest
contests enacted in modern times. Not
long ago the town was treated to the
unique spectacle of a whip-cracking
contest, with about fifty contestants,
The whips were, in class A, the usual
driver’s whips, and in class B, the so-
called perpignan, much resembling the
long whips used by the lumbermen in
Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin
on their log sleighs.
At least thirty different kinds of
cracking sounds can be made by these
whips in the hands of an expert, and
the prizes were distributed to‘ those
who produced the most of these sounds
in rapid succession. The judges laid
considerable emphasis in this odd con-
test on the kind of crackings which
would stir a horse most without in-
juring him. In conclusion, all the
drivers cracked their whips in chorus,
which had the effect of an ear-deafen-
ing cannonade.
A driver by the name of Lermission
received the first prize. This man can
handle the whip in so masterly a man-
her that he is able to crack the “Mar-
seilaise” and, familiar French songs
out of it.—New York Journal.

The Cause of. the Change.-
“They have moved our choir to the

“What’s that for?”
“Our clergyman is delicate, and he
said he couldn’t stand to have twelve
girls fanning his bald spot all at

A $3,000 SADDLE.
Much Silver Used In Its Adornment and
More Added Each Year.
The finest and most costly saddle in
America is owned in California, where
it was manufactured. It is owned and
was designed by Dixie W. Thompson,
a wealthy rancher of Ventura county,
whose home is in Santa. Barbara. The:
saddle is of typical Mexican pattern, ,
with a. high pommel, well hollowed-
seat, and the most elaborate trappings.
The work was done in Santa. Barbara
under Mr. Thompson's supervision, and
is such as only the Spanish could pro-
duce. The saddle is of fine embossed
leather, set thick with silver buttons
and rosettes, the pummel incased with
silver, the corners‘of the apron tipped
with it, the stirrups faced and edged
with silver half an inch thick, elabor-
ately chased and carved. The saddle-
tree is hung with silver rings to answer
the vaquero’s requirements. The girth
is woven from horses’ manes by na-
tive artisans, and is full eight inches
broad. The reins, martingales, and
whips, are composed of solid silver in
woven strands. The bridle, reins, and
accessories, weighing about twelve
pounds, are worth about $250 in the
value of coin silver used. Each year
Mr. Thompson adds something to the
beauty and value of the saddle, and it
has already cost about $3,000.
JUSTICE IN ALASKA.
An Appeal to Congress for a Court in Cir-
cle City, in the Yukon Valley.
A cry for justice comes to Congress
from Alaska, says the New York Sun.
Away up in the Yukon Valley is a
place called Circle City, where there is
1 population of 5,000 loyal citizens of
:he United States. Sitka, the capital of
Alaska, where the federal court is
1eld, is so remote that the peOple in
and about Circle City can not go so
:‘ar to obtain judicial assistance or pro-
.ection; and they want Congress to
give them a court in their own region.
in a letter addressed to the Governor
)t‘ Alaska, by Mr. George W. Morgan,
who describes himself as the chair-
man oi‘ the grand jury at Circle City,
:he firiter says that “it would take one
year for a witness to leave here and
ttmnt‘. court in Sitka, thereby causing
an only a great loss of time, but great
expense to himself, as he would not be
this to return here until the next
year]? It appears from a petition ac-
aompanying this letter that the grand
iury of which Mr. Morgan was chair-
man was a select body of citizens ap-
pointed at a meeting of the residents
of the mining district “to inquire into
the causes whch led to a recent hom-
Lcide in our midst,” and that in fact
there is no justice whatever there ex-
cept wholly outside the law through
the agency of miners’ meetings. This
is an evil which ought promptly to be
remedied by congressional action.
