WORKS The machinery in the plant of the American Seating Co. is being shipped to Buffalo. This means that Bloomsburg is to lose one of its industries. The change would have been made some years ago, but the plant could not be dismantled ns it was covered by a mortgage and the machinery could not be removed.

HULL Away out in the state of Wash ington lived Robert Brown and Marion Chase, who with their par ents were the only white settlers for a circuit of about five miles. Bob, as he was called for short, and Marion, or Macy, as he called her, were fast friends, and as neither had auy brothers or sisters of their own, were almost constantly to gether. One day, as they v ere as usual playing in a barn not far from cither house, they began to talk of tkeir future. Macy said "I am going to be a queen like mamma read me about and make everyone do as I want them to." "No, you won't either," he quickly said, "You're going to marry me and I'm going to be a big preacher like Mr. Myers." "I shan't marry you, Bob Brown, so there," she said. "You will, I'll make you," Whereupon he thrust her into an empty meal bin, closed the lid, and deliberately sat upon it, saying, "Now, Macy Chase you've got to promise you'll marry me before I'll let you out." Her tears were of no avail until in humility she promised and he. very forgiving now, lead her to the house saying, "Now don't you forget !" Before she could answer they heard a rush of horse's feet und a big Indian swooped down from his saddle, grabbed Bob, and galloped away before Marion could get her breath. Bob s mother, hearing the horse, rushed out followed by Mrs. Chase; both women were aloue with no horses and before they could notify their nearest neighbors, the Indians had had a good start. And altho a very extended search was made, nothing was ever heard from him and deep sorrow reigned upper most in the loving hearts he had left behind for many years. Marion, altho but four years old at the time had had this scene so impressed upon her mind that she never forgot her friend Bob nor her promise, and used to tell her mother that she would never forget it or break it. Years passed Marion was now a young lady, and her parents sent her east to a fashionable school in Boston. Here sir; met Victor Bently, a young Western fellow of wealth and iufluence who on the eve of her graduation told her the old, old story of love. And she must have forgotten her promise to Hob for she said, "Yes." After commencement, she in company with Victor Bently start ed for her home. On the way he related to her something of his life. How he had been found when about nine or ten years old iu New Mexico by Uncle Ben Bently, as he learned to call him, Uncle Ben had cared for him until his death when he had left a vast fortune to him. He had then come East to complete his education. "And did you never find a clue as to whom your parents were?" she asked. "No, but Uncle Ben advertised as best he could and he said the only thing I seemed to remember of my former home besides the Indians was the one word Macy which" "Bob ! you are Bob ! I know it, she cried, "because that is what you used to call me. Don t you remember how you shut me up in a meal bin?" Yes, I remember that, but I thought 'twas only a dream." More ex planations followed. When they reached her hoine the happiness of all these reunited peo ple was indescribable and a great thanksgiving arose from the lipsot these parents who had waited and mourned so long for their son. COST OF TRIALS. Few oeoole who read the news paper reports of the great court trials, such as the Thaw case, have any idea of the great cost of such a trial. It is stated on good authori ty that the Thaw trial will cost the city of New York $250,000,' while the defense is spendiug a million dollars. Each lawyer on the side of the defeuse is the very best to be had. From the publicity that will be gained, these lawyers are liable to suffer in their professional repu tations if they do not succeed in freeing their client, and they de mand immense fees before they will associate themselves with that side. It is rumored that Delphin Michael Delmas. the creat California law- ver who has been imported to take charge of the case, is to get $250, 000 for his services, and if he suc ceeds in getting Thaw free his fee will be iust twice that. On the side of the state eminent special counsel has beeu secured for the District Attorney, and costly expert testi mony introduced by the defeuse will have to be met with costly expert testimony iu rebuttal.
