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.

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.

btopped off at Niagara Falls.
A man, seemingly about sixty years
of age, was telling the people in the
waiting rooms at the Third street depot
yesterday that he had been East to old
Massachusetts to see his sisters, and
that on the way back he stopped off at
Niagara Falls.
'That'B a place I never saw,' remark
ed a woman with a poke bonnet on.
'You didn't 1 Well, you've missed
theawfullest sight on earth! I was
jest stunned.'
'What is it like V' she asked.
'Well, there's a river, and the falls,
and lots of hotels, and several Injuns,
and the bridle veil,and land only knows
what else. If my old woman bad been
along she'd have wilted right down;'

as Niagara Falls ! Let him stand thar
and see that 'ere water tumbling oyer

You've fallen out o' bed, haven't you?'
'No, sir.'
'Well, It's about the same thing, you
wake up and find yourself on the floor,
and you feel as if yeu had been stealin*

'What part of the falls you most
admire ?' she asked.
'The water, mum,' he promptly re
plied. 'lf you'd put 10,000 kegs of beer

them all running, they couldn't begin

and the other crying. * 'Naturally," he
said, "1 dreaded this strange doable
face, with its one side smooth, plump,
comely, like a girl's cheek ; while the
other was all scarred by the smallpox.
This side of the face denoted churlish
ness, and while the other bore * smile,
this boded mischief."
The same authority is also responsi
ble for the following story: "I was
once sitting in a cool underground sa
loon at Leipsic, while without people
were ready to die from the heat,when a
new guest entered and took a seat oppo
site to me. The sweat rolled in great
drops down his face, and he was kept
busy with his handkerchief, until at
last he found relief in the exclamation,
'Fearfully hot!' I watched him atten
tively as he called for a cool drink, for
I expected every moment he would fall
from his chair in a fit of apoplexy. The
man must have noticed that I was ob
serving him, for he turned toward me
suddenly, saying: 'I am a curious sort
of a person, am I not ?' 'Why?' I ask
ed. 'Because I perspire only on my
right side,' he responded. And so it
was. His right cheek and his right
half of his forehead were as hot as fire,
while the left side of his face bore not
a trace of perspiration. I had never
seeAthejlike, and in my astonishment
was about; to enter into conversation
with him regarding this physiological
phenomenon, wheu his neighbor on the
left broke in with the remark : •Then
we are opposites and counterparts of
each other, for I perspire only on the
leftside.' This, too, was the feet. So
the pair took seats opposite each other,
and shook hands like two men who had
just found each his other half.
Fashionable ladies now wear the
watch in a small pocket set upon the
left breast. A slendev chain is attach*
ed to the watch, one end being fastened
to one of the lower buttonholes Jof the
corsage. These chains are the latest
novelty in jewelrv.—Parts letter (nPe*
