VOL. 58. How She Managed Him. It was at a Leap Year ball in tbe city of Kimball. The largo hotel was crowded to the utmost with nil the bells and beaux of ilu> place,and it was noticed that there were a gioat many strangers present ; but they seemed to lie of a well-bred class, and although the host had endeavored to be very se lect in his company, they had received tickets some liow ; and as it was a pub lic house he could have nothing to say, unless there was something out of the way upon which to base bis opposition to their presence. It was one of the most novel enter tainments that had ever been given in the place. Many of the usual customs were reversed, even as far as dress was concerned, the ladies wearing postilion coats over their daintilyltriinmed skirts. Beside these coats they wore high stan ding collars, men's neckties, aud as much expanse of white shirt front as possible : while every girlish head had the hair parted on the side. Nor were the men behind in their toilets, for nearly every one blossomed out in a brightly-colored sash, a fan, and a lovely bouquet of flowers, while their hair was parted in the middle and arranged in innumerable little frizzes, or bangs, upon their foreheads. The ladies enjoyed themselves fa mously, escorting the men from their residences, inviting them to dance, and taking them to supper. Among the lookers on were some of the mo9t aristocratic people in the city, who were laughing at the performances of the young people, and joking with the young ladies, who, with their meu's right, were lounging in all parts of the rooms. These married people enjoyed themselves most laughing at the almost invariable mistakes that the girls made in their attempts to do the agreeable to their favorite gentlemen. Georgie Webb was standing looking on, with her sister Jennie and her hus band, Albert Ayers; but every moment her pretty head was turned toward the door, and any one could have told that she was looking for some one. Her husband. Willis Webb, was a very wealthy man, and his wife was the most beautiful woman in the city. Under her influence he had given np the almost unquenchable desire for driuk which once held him, and had not drank a drop for over two years. But to-night she feared for him, for she had not seen him for over two hours, and they had arranged to return home at twelve, and it was now nearly two o'clock in the morning. "Jennie," she whispered, "what do you suppose keeps Willis ?" Jennie looked at the anxious little face of her sister, and knowing just what her thoughts were, replied,— "I will ask Albert to go down and tell him that we are waiting for him to return home." The relieved look in Georgie's eyes told how welcome were the words, and Jennie whispered in her husband's ear, and casting a smiling glance at Geor gie, he arose and began pushing his way toward the door, encountering many dashing belles in his progress. "What dreadful manners, Mr. Ay ers," said one of the girls,"to be going about with out any escort!" Albert laughed, but continued his course, and soon was lost among the jesting maidens. Georgie's little golden head "was still frequently turned toward the doorway, and at length she saw Albert coming, but, as she had feared, alone, and his face wore a compassionate look as he glanced at her. "Did you find Willis ?" she inquired half fearfully. "Yes," answered Albert, "but—" than be paused. "I know what you would tell me," she said sadly. "He has been drink ing." "Yes," answered her brother-in-law, "and I thought it best not to bring him up here among our friends. If you like you can go home with Jennie and me, and then I will come back for Willis." "I think that will be the bettei way," said poor Georgie, wearily. "Come, Jennie, let's go immediately." Willis Webb had not taken a glass of strong drink for two years,but to-uight he had been over-persuaded by one of his old companions into taking just one or two drinks ; but these had as quickly affected liim as more had been wont to do in the olden times. He bad realized his condition instantly, and endeavored to hide it as well as he was able,'and sat down in a dark corner, thinking his brain would clear in a few minutes ; but he was mistaken, for when his brother-iu-law found him his mind was so cloudy that lie only half understood what was going on aronnd him. Still it dimly seemed to haunt him that his wife wanted to go home early, and at length lie arose and stag gered into tbe next room,where a lady. MILLHEIM, PA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25., 1884. one of the strangers of the party, was standing before tbe glass, arranging ber hair. Her dress was a dark blue, like Georgie's and he walked unevenly up to her, saying.— 4 'Come on, old woman, lesh go home." "Very well," quickly answered the lady. "Wait until I get a carriage." "Sought we come foot." "Oh, well, I will take you home in a little better style than I brought you. "Wait right here until I return." "Wash you mean ? Guesh I know nuf to go home without your bossing me." "But, this you know is a Leap Year party, and the ladies wait on the gen tlemen." "Thash so ? By George, I forgot 1 Hurrah for Leap Year 1 Hurry up ! It was but a few moments before the lady returned, and Willis Webb was hurried into a carriage, and sauk in a heap upon the soft cushions. Five minutes later his fair companion was in possession of his pocket-book and cost ly jewelry. Poor Webb's indulgence was costing him heavily. Theu she signalled the driver to stop, and the half unconscious man was assisted to alight, and the cairiage drove away. But it was not a woman who stood beside him now, but a light and slen der man, who ran ligntly over the pavement, leaving him to the tender mercies of auy passer-by. Georgie waited with her sister until Albert should return with herhusbaud, but when he came he said that Willis was nowhere to be found ; no one had seen him, and Mr. Ayers thought he must have gone home alone. Georgie then started for home, with her brother-in-law by her side, and when they had walked about half of the distance they came upon the sleep ing man lying right in their path. "Ob, Albert, I believe that is he !" said Georgie, through her tears. Albert bent overthe recumbent man, and then replied,— "You are right, Georgie." He shook Webb roughly until he got him upon his feet. "Now, Georgie, if you will take one arm I will take the other, and so we will get him home." When morning came Webb was him self again, and it was with a blush of 3hame that he met his little wife at the breakfast table. He told her the whole story ; of his meeting an old friend he bad not seen for years ; of his slight in dulgence ; how after that his memory became indistinct, "But, Georgie, I swear that I will neyer touch it again." Georgie kissed repentant bus band upon the forehead. After a while he asked her, — "You took care of my pocket-book, of course, Georgie ?" "No, Willis, I have not seen your money." "Then, as I live, it is stolen !" And stolen it was. Search not only proyed the fact but revealed another ; his magnificent watch and diamond ring were g:>ne also. Willis Webb was a wealthy man,and was bitterly ashamed of hi 3 excess ; but this was more than he could bear tamely. He had some indistinct remem brance of being brought home in a cab, and he went down town and put tbe whole matter in the hands of a skilled detective. While in his office he learned that this was onlyjone of a dozen bold robberies which had been committed the evening before, and every means was being taken to trace those polite stranger guests. He touched no more drink, although his indulgence had awakened ail his old desire for it. The episode had a roused all his wife's olden fear, and she watched him as a cat watches a mouse. A month or two glided by, and then there came an invitation for Willis Webb to attend a wine supper, to be given by this same old acquaintance, j who had taken rooms at the hotel, j "Oh, Willis,! don't want you to go 1" cried his wife. "Why not ?" he asked. "You need > j not fear that I will drink anything." ,' "Oh 4 but I don't want you to go ! PAPER FOR Tip: HOME CIRCLE Cleveland and Hendricks, Democratic Candidates FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT. Let's go to Jenfiie'B to-night." "But I have sent an acceptance, and Evans would be angry if I went any where else." "Well, then, let's stay at home to gether." "But I really wish to go myself," said Willis, the color rising in his face. "Oh, Willis," she cried out with tears in her eves, 44 1 never can let you go in the world. I should not liaye a minute's peace all the eveuing." "Georgie,don't be a fool ! Don't you suppose I know enough to take care of myself ? Aud I promise you that I will uot drink." "But that is just what, they are get ting together to do," said she, blush ing, "and it's best not to put oneself in the way of temptation." Willis knew this to be good and solid reasoning, but he felt a trifle galled at the careful watch his wife kept over him, and was determined not to be "led around" by any woman ; so he resolved to go at any risk. And then he laughed at his wife's fears,and went off to business, thinking that he would go if only for a few minutes, and re turn before Georgie had begun to look for him. The first man he met was one of the invited guests, and a worldly fellow of somewhat convival habits of life. "Going down to Evans' to-night, Webb ?" "Yes, I think so ; I suppose that you will be there ?" "Of course ; the old lady cuts up a little rough about it, but I let her know lam my own master. Just as if there weie any harm in a little fun 1" Thi9 conversation strengthened Webb's resolution to go also, for he felt an awful fear lest the fellows thought his wife had a little too much to say. And yet he knew that he owed his name to her, and the fortune which was now his would have been squan dered but for her influence. Theu the affair of the Leap Year ball came be fore his vision, and he felt a twinge ; and then he settled the matter by thinking that he would go for a little while only. When he returned home he found Georgie gotten up in a most ravishing style, and with a half dozen pretxts to keep him at home. She said nothing upon the subject, but she had some old songs and duets upon the piano, which she wanted him to practice with her." "You know we used to sing so much together before we were married, dear," she said, "and we are getting fearfully out of practice." Willis smiled furtively, and they practiced together for an hour or more, and then he made a move foi the dress ingroom. "Oh, don't go off, Willis ! I've got some yarn to wind, and I want you to hold the skeins ; and then* if you are go'ng down the street, I want to go with you."i "Now, Georgie," said he, laughing, "why not be honest and say you don't want me to go to Evans' and done with it ?" "Well, I don't," she cried, laughing in turn. "And you won't go, either, will you, darling ?" "Of course I shall go ! I have prom ised, and you would not have me break my promise, would you ?" he replied. "Yes, I would, if it were such a promise as that," she said, kissing him. "Well, I shall not," returned he,tak ing out his shaving utensils. Then Mrs. Georgie snatched away his brush and tossed it out of the open window, and laughed so mischievously that he could not be offended. "Never mind," said he. "lean get, shaved at the barber's." And then the little wife threw her arms about his neck and kissed and coaxed him furiously for ten minutes. His resolution was beginning to wa ver when his eye fell upon a powder that lay upon the dressiug-table ; it was a sleeping potion his wife took when she had neuralgia, and iuto his mind there instantly came an ignoble plot. "Well," said he, as if yielding, 44 if you will go down and get each of us a glass of that lemonade I saw in the pitcher to-night, I will think of it be fore I go." Away ran the happy Georgie, think ing now she was sure of victory, and soon returned with the pitcher and two glasses. "I made this on purpose for you, Willis." "Thank you, dearie. Now run a way a.id fetch my dressing gown and slippers." And while she was gone the unprin cipled fellow dropped the opiate into his wife's glass. "Now for a merry evening 1" lift ing his glass ; and the two together drained the daintily spiced lemonade. "But it shall be at Evans'," said the graceless scump, darting iuto the dress ing closet, as if to avoid his wife. "It shall, eh ?" said his wife, think ing him in jest ; and she closed the door behind him and bolted it firmly. "Oh, Georgia," said he remember ing the narcotic was quick iu its effect, "let me out quick, and I solemnly promise that 1 will remain at home with you." But he was tjo late ; the little golden head sank down slowly until it rested upon the soft plush carpet, and never stirred from its dreamless sleep until the morning sun shone into the open window. Willis shouted and called,but.the ser vants were too far off to bear him, and he had no resource but to stay in the close little dressiug-room until his wife should awaken. Sleep was impossible, and he did somerof the soundest think ing of his life during those long, chill night hours. The thought of his little wife lying outside the door was agony to him. But at last he h'eard her stir, and then she quickly unbolted the door, saying,— "Why, Willis,have you been in there all night, and have I been sleeping on the floor ?" "Yes, dear," he confessed humbly. "I gave you that sleeping powder, thinking I would go for a little while to Evan's party ; but you shut me in here, and then went to sleep." "What a shame 1" said Georgie. "What a blessing !" said her hus band. "And I will here give you a sol emn promise never to take another drink,or ever attend another wine sup per again." "What's the matter with you. peo ple ?" said Jennie, putting her head iu at the chamber door. "Bridget told me you hadn't come down yet." "Nothing—only we are a little lazy," said Wiilis, quickly. "Theu you haven't heard the news ? They've found out the thieves at last, and that Evans at the hotel is the leader of the gang." Georgie looked at her husband, and Jennie went on, — "Thev have found your watch and ling, too. They] were in Evans' trunk." "Of all things ! His party must have been a failure." "Yes, the officeis came in when they were at the table. Albert was there,aud he said he never was so ashamed in his life." And Willis Webb, after that had great respect for his little wife's wish es, aud kept his promise religiously. The First Saw-Mills. The old practice of making boards was to split up the logs with wedges, and, inconvenient as the practice was, it was no easy matter to persuade the world that the thing could be done in any better way. Saw-mills were first used in Europe in the fifteenth century, but so late as 1655, an English embass ador,having seen a saw-mill in France thought it a novelty which deserved particular discription. It is amusing to note how the aversion to labor sav ing machinery has always agitated England. * The first saw-mill was es tablished by a Dutchman, in 1663; but the public outcry against the new fan gled machine was so violent that the proprietor was forced to decamp with greater expedition than ever did a Dutchman before. The evil was thus kept out of England for many years, or rather generations. Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. An Ideal Pastoral Sketch. The Maid Who Would a Milking Go all in a Silken Gown. [Front Peek's Sun.] It bus remained for a wealthy gon.le inan in Connecticut to assert positively that 'There is nothing like a Jersey cow andji pea-fowl for the ornamenta tion of a lawn.' It is now more than likely that in a short time the passer by may see in nearly every front yaid one of these aristocratic kind quietly rumi nating anent the flower bed, beneath the umbrageous foliage of a syringa bush,while the pea-fowl, with its many hued tail spread out like a Chinese fan, promenades slowly to and fro, ever and anon lifting its voice in song, which said song, as is well kuown, rivals the notes of;the nightingale or the melliflu ous calliope. And the daughter of the house—the pretty chi'd of fashion—will trip down the front steps just before the gloam ing, clad iu picturesque attire, with a fourteen quart medieval milk-pail on her arm, and the latest 'agony' on her lower limbs, which the abbreviated gown does not conceal, but on the con trary seems to have a sort of law-low for-black-ducks appearance. She will approach the gentle Jersey aud call her pet names; 'lolanthe, you dear, you perfectly charming creature, you too utterly lovely bossie.. you will kindly oblige me by elevatiug ?' And if the cow don't respond she will continue, 'Hoist,please, dear!' and gently push a gainst the north-east quarter of the west half of the south-west section and seat herself* on the hand-painted and embroidered milk-stool, on the wrong side of the cow. And right here it might be well to ask why custom has decreed that cows should be milked from the off side. There seems to be no good reason, and the milk-maids of Milwaukee should manipulate from one side as well as de udder, and settle the seuseless custom at defiance. Haying got fairly seated, she will take off her six-button kids, spit on her hands, aud commence extracting the lacteal fluid, aud may go through the operation successfully—if lolanthe has a sweet temper and the flies don't bite-r --to the admiration of the family,visiting friends, and such gentlemen as have stopped outside the fence to gaze on tue charming idylic scene; but the chances are that about the time the flrst tiny stream of milk [warranted eight per cent, pure cream] strikes the bottom of the pail a horse-fly will sting lolanthe amidships, the pretty tail or namented with a knot of gay ribbons will switch suddenly to the left, and knock the pompadour nat of the m. m. off. Undismayed, but a little agitated, she willtpick it up, put it on wrong side before, and proceed with the operation, saying: 'So, you naughty bossie ; so, lolanthe, pet, so, so! Do the horrid flies bite your delicate cuticle In the excitement of the moment, she will squeeze too hard, and her eighteen corat diamond ring will hurt the sensi tive animal, who will suddenly elevate the left posterior limb and knock her silly, and she will be carried into the house,and the doctor will be telephoned for and there will be His Satanic Maj esty to pay generally. The hired man will fluish the job that evening, and un less the petted child of fortune is a girl of more than ordinary nerve, she will not repeat the experiment, but confine her studies in natural history to pug dogs, bugs, dudes and similar curiosi ties. Dead Men Don't Advertise. It can be safely laid down as a rule that in these days of universal advertis ing the man who don't advertise either has nothing for sale which will bear talking about or he is so old fogyish in his methods of business that he has got so far behind the times that he will nev er catch up. There is no surer evidence of snap and energy in a business man or firm than liberal advertising. In the store or warerooms of a large advertiser the purchaser finds the latest styles,the best material, the most approved pat terns, the most reliab'e goods and the most advanced business methods.. Ad yertising pays, not only in the matter of attracting customers, which is the legitimate aim of all adyertisements, but it enables the reader to see who are the really liye and energetic men in any line of business, and by keeping them constantly in mind the reader of the pa per can ayoid the old fogy tradesman whose greatest mistake in life lies been in not getting buried twenty-five years ago. Dead men don't advertise. .■. Black lace dresses retain their popu larity.—Paris letter in Peterson's Mag azine.
