Eloping Lovers on a Bicycle-Caught by h
Tandem.
The Old man was thoughtful.
“You say Maria has run away?” he
said.
they’ve started for town.”
. “Hossest” inquired the old man.
“No; bicycles,” replied she.
“One or two?”
“Two—one for each.” .
“That settles it,” said the old man;
“we can catch them before they get to
the person’s.
"They‘re both good riders,” suggested
his wife. ' ' '
“That’s so,” admitted the old man,
“and they could beat either one of us
alone, but we’re a powerful team when
we get together, Hannah. Can you
leave your baking for a. while.
“If anything burns I can bake again,”
she said sententiouily, “but if Maria
gits away with Bill Jones she’s gone for
300d.”
“Git on your bloomers in a hurry,
then,” exclaimed the old man. “I’ll be
gittin’ ,the tandem wheel out of the
woodshed meanwhile, and if we don’t
make these two scorchers think there’s
a whirlwind after them it’ll seem very
funny.”
“Do you s’pose they forgot about the
tandem?” ,
“Maybe they thought we’d forgotten
how to ride it,” replied the old man
grimly, as he made his back into the
form of an arc just to satisfy himself
that he had not forgotten how to do’
it. .
And that night, says the Chicago
Post, as Bill Jones looked longingly up
at the window of the room where his
fair one was confined, he bitterly re-
proached himself for his foolishness in
thinking that a single wheel could get
, away from a tandem.
He swore softly to himself that when
next he tried to take the maid away he
' w0uld have a sextuplet, fully manned.
and with an auxiliary gas engine at-
tachment.
THE PRESIDENT’S BROTHER.
He Denies the Charge oflHis Congr. grrtion
That He Preaches Politics.
The Rev. William N. Cleveland,
President Grover Cleveland’s brother,
who for five years has been pastor of
the Chaumont, New York, Presbyter-
ian Church, was ousted from his charge
by the St. Lawrence Presbytery at its
semi-annual meeting.
Members of his congregation say that
he is a stench Democrat, that he allows
politics to influence his religious teach-
ings, and that he is partial to certain
WILLIAM N. CLEVELAND.
members of his congregation. Last fall
the difference was adjusted by a. com-
mittee selected for that purpose, who
went to Chaumont to do so, and pastor
and people agreed to try and live in
peace together.
The Rev. William N. Cleveland was
born in Windham, Conn, 1832. He re-
ceived his collegiate education in Ham-
ilton Seminary, in New York City.
Previous to his installation at Chau-
mont, he filled Presbyterian pulpits in
Southampton, L. I., Eaton, Madison
County, and Forestport, Oneida County
this State.
One of his parishnners said it wasnot
Mr. Cleveland’s politics that caused the
trouble. In a. Fourth of July address
delivered at Chaumont in 1894, he
threw cold water on the pension sys-
tem, and his remarks on that occasion
incensed the majority of his parishoners
against him.
He Was Still Ahead.
We were riding over a plantation
owned and managed by a colored man,
and were inspecting some of the build-
ings, when a. woman came to draw ra-
tions of bacon.
For scales the man had a stick in the
balance, with flat b iards at either end.
He put a. stone on one board and the
meat on the other, and cut from the
meat until he got an even tip.
“How much meat did you give her?”
was asked as she went away.
"Fo’ pounds, sah.”
‘,‘But that stone weighs over four
pounds.” ...
“Reckon not,""“sah. I didn’t dun
weigh it. but I figured on about three
and a half pounds.”
One of the gentlemen had a pocket
balance with him, and when the stone
was held up it pulled down exactly five
pounds.
“Lands 0’ massy, but no wonder dese
yere pussons bin a-gettin’ lazy,” gasped
the man, “I has dun been cheated outer
mo’ dan fc’ hundred pounds 0’ meat by
that ston 9.”
“You‘ll have to charge it up.”
“Dey wouldn’t stand that, boss; but
[shan’t lose anything. I’ze already dun
told my gang dat dere wuz only forty
Sundays and no Fo’th 0’ July in dis
y’ar, and so I’ll get thirteen days’ work
outer ’em. Now I’ll dun heave dat
rock away and work in a. three-pound
one.”—'Detroit Free Press.

NAPOLEON’S GOLDEN SHOWERS.
[I is Generals Received Enormous Incomes
' ' ‘ by His Favor.
The marshals were showered with
gold. Bertier had 1,000,000; Ney, Da—
vout, Soult and Besieres 600,000 each;
Massena, Augereau, Bernadotte, Mor-
tier and Victor 400,000 apiece, and the
rest 200,000. But even this was noth-
ing to what some of them secured later
by holding several 0fii0es at the same
time. . "
At one time Berthier had a yearly in-
come of 1,355,000 francs; Davout 910,—
000; Ney of 728,000; Massena of 683,-
000. The ministers were able to secure
salaries averaging about 200,000 francs,
and ambassadors had incomes corre-
sponding to their dignity. Caulain-
court, the ablest of them all, had 800,-
000 francs at St. Petersburg wherewith
to support the imperial state of France.
It is interesting tonote from Napoleon’s
letters that he had occasionally to ad-
monish some of these gentlemen to make
use of their titles—Century Magazine.
Very Cheap Labor.
Of all countries of the world, save
China, labor is probably cheapest in
India, where the wages of the laboring
classes average . something like three

ful journeyman can earn about twelve
shillings a. month, and a good mechanic
about sixteen shillings, or twice the pay
of a native soldier.
Insurance Against Twins.
befall a poor man’s home than the ad-
vent of twins, unless it be triplets?
That, at least, is the idea upon which
the projectors of the Provident Bounty
Association. organized recently, propose
to bank the prospects of the concern.
As a financial document it is unique.
It bears some respectable names, and
subscriptions to " the capital stock of
$50,000 are invited, with the most
tempting inducements.
“It is notorious,” say these projectors,
“that many people marry in the hope of
improving their fortune; but frequent-
ly disappointment comes with the ad-
vent ~of an unexpectedly large family.
This association provides to some ex-
tent for that contingency by at once
giving a substantial sum in the case of
the birth of twins.”—-Pearson’s Weekly.
