IN A DILEMMA.
Hark Itatusoy and Job Trotter were
often scon at tlio house of old Squlro Fll-
pot. Tlieso viaits were not duo to any
regard Mark and Job may have had for
the squire, but were clearly traceable to
the love which they bore his daughter
Judy. Tho two young men woro so
much nllko physically that they might
have been taken for twins. They were
tall, strong and well built; they were
black eyed and long haired, sunburned
and hardened by exposure to all sorts of
hardships. Tho resemblance even ex
tended to mental peculiarities. Mark
did not know long division from short
comings; neither did Job. ' Mark, given
the freest exercise of his arm, could not
with n charred chunk have written his
naino on the gable, end of the barn;
neither could Job, .Being so much alike
both physically and mentally, it was
small wonder that they loved Judy, Who,
by the way, was the handsomest girl in
the neighborhood.
She was more than merely handsome;
she was bright, quick to learn, and, Bat
tering gossip declared, could knit a pair
of yarn socks or snatch tbe feathers oftn
chicken as tjuiokly and ns effectually as
any girl iir tho community, regardless
of educational advantages. Judy loved
Mark and Job, but she could not decide
which ono she preferred. This Inability
gave her great concern, and often at
night, while patching her father's brown
jeans, or at evening when crouched in the
slowly darkening gold of a dying day,
milking tho muly cow, she would shut
her eyes, bring up tho faces of her two
lovers, nnd attempt to force herself into
a decision, hut in vain, for when the gold
of evening had darkened into the char
coal of night, when old muly stood pa
tiently with one foot in the pail of milk,
Judy's love, remained in equal division,
Uld rilpot liked the boys, but, to have
saved his life, ho could not have told
which one was his favorite. He was
willing she should marry one of them, it
mnuo no Uillerence which, and he Be,
crctly wisKed that ono of them, still no
matter which, would die, so that the re
tnaining one could make his daughter
happy.
Neither one of tho young men was ever
able to see tho girl alone, for they kept
so close a watch upon each other's move
ments that one making his appearance at
the squire s house, was sure to be followed
immediately by the other.
Ono morning, just as the squire and
Judy had arisen from the breakfast table,
voices in the sitting room announced to
well accustomed cars the arrival ot the
lovers, Tho old man and his daughter
went in, aud, following a long and worn
liabit, cordially shook hands with the visi
tors and bade them feel perfectly at home,
"We havo come," said Mark, "to see If
we can't sorter make somo arrangements."
"That s what wo have. Job put in.
"I want Judy," Mark added.
"So do I," said Job.
"I love her powerful," Mark observed.
"I lovo her just about the same," Job
declared.
"Qentleinen," said the squire, perplex
edly stroking his whiskers, "I don't see
how we aro going to manage this affair,
Judy, don't you, arter all, love one just
a littlo better than you do the other "
"I believe I do, pap," Bhe answered.
"Thar, we are 'gittin at it. Now,
which one is itr
"That's what I kain't tell, pap."
"Thar it goes again, an' we ore just as
fur oil as ever. Mark, am t you got
nothin' to suggest?
"Don't believe I have. Job mout have."
"No, I hain't, lessen it is that she mar
ry mo an' be done with it."
"Yos, and I reckon I can make slch a
suggestion in favor of myse'f," Mark re
plied, and then half musingly added
"I do wish this thing was over with, fur
I am behind with my crap on my farm's
runnin' down, for I have to watch Job
bo close that"
"Jest the same with me," Jobbrokoin,
"Wall, now," said tho old squire.
"suthin has got to be did, and did at
once, fur I ia tired of this here feverish
condition, ns the feller says. I have
liearn my gran daddy talk about cases
like this that took place In the old times,
aud they never failed to git at a settle
ment somehow ruther. It mout have
been by a match of somo sort foot race,
rasalin , or shootin . I don t know ex.
actly how, but near as I can ricolleck
the way gran'daddy told it they alius
left it to be decided by some s periority
that one her over the other."
"I'm mor'u willin'," Job declared.
"What do you say, Judy?"
"Suits me," the girl answered.
"All right," said the old man. "We
ken now begin to see our way c'lar j shall
it be rasslinV
They agreed that It should be wrestling
and gobig out into the yard, gave them.
selves up to tho contest, but the fatal
similarity again asserted itself, for the
young men were of equal strength and
aglhty. Then they tried foot racing-
thoy were of equal speed; rifle shooting
they were of equal skill,
"Wall, thts do beat, antl beat it peart.
too, anything I ever seed," the old squire
declared. "Spozen you fling up a chip
wet or dry?"
"Don't believo I like that Idea, fur it
only shows luck without s'periority,"
Mark answered. "How Is yo' pulse
beatln' on that p int, Job?"
"Beatln' low down in tho shads, fur I
don't like the IJee."
"Wall," said the old man, "let's go tn
the house and set down; .might as well
bo restin' while we re thinkin' up suthin'
elo. Helloa! yonder comes Parson
Uriddle. 'Light, parson, and examine
yo' saddle," ho added, as the preacher
urew up at tne gate.
The parson dismounted, and, with the
old man, followed the lovers Into the
house.
"Is It possible," said the preacher, in
response to a declaration made by the
old squire, "that you cannot, even by
the most persuasive appeal to sentiment,
seme mis extremely eccentric court
ship?"
"Can't do it, ono way nor tuther," the
old man rejoined; and then, nuicklv
turning to the girl, he added, "Judy, I've
got an idee."
"What is it, pap?"
"Well, it's this: Parson Briddle, here,
has seed a good deal of the world w'y,
you've been 'way down In Robinson
county, haven't you, parson?"
"Yes," the parson answered proudly.
"Thar, now," continued the old man,
"he has even been 'way down In Robin
son county, and Is, from the faok that
he has seen a good deal of the world, a
fair jedgeof the good pi'nts In man; so
now, Judy, air you willin' to leave it to
the parson nnd take the one he picks
out?'
"Yes, I'm willin'," the girl answered.
"I'm willin' too," Mark quickly spoke
"but I want to UU the rmxaou riant
how ef he decides agin an IH whup him
till the I oiks win think he lias been
chawed up and spit up by n threshln'
machine."
And as fur me," mid Job, "I'm mo'n
delighted with the Idee, but jest let me
say that ef he decides agin me I'll wallop
mm tin you u uavo to get him together
with a hay rake."
"Gentlemen," the parson remarked,
'I shall render no decision. I am vorr
well satisfied with my position in life,
my circuit is comparatively smooth, and
I have a pretty good horse; my salary is
lagging, but the Bisters havo niven me
ninety-eight Unsey shirts, and calico
handkerchiefs enough to cover the Rock
of Ages; so, taking it all into considera
tion, I do not care to be food for a dys
peptio thrashing machine, or to clog the
teeth of a hay rake."
Ah, Lawd," Blghed tho old man. "tho
end ain't no nearer in sight than it was
at fust. Judy, fetch out tho jug," he
added, as tho preacher said, something
in on undertone. "Now, boys," ho con
tinued, when tho jug had been brought,
"no p yo selves."
Tho boys being mighty partial toward
liquor, began to help themselves. The
old mac took a few pulls and tho parson
dampened his pucker, but the boys drank
recklessly, nnd after a while they were
generously intoxicated.
"Job," said Mark, "I'm tho best friend
you ever had. You may have Judy."
"Stark," Job responded, "you ain't no
better friend to mo than I am to you, so
you take her."
"Won't do It; you've got to take her."
"No;' you've got to."
"Now, we can call On the parson to
decide," the old man delightfully ex
claimed. 'That's what wo can," said Mark. "Par
son, you pick out one of us to be the hus
band of Judy, here, an' I want to pay
right here that Job's my friend, an' that
If you decide agin him I'll larrun vou till
you'd ruu through a sifter."
"Parson, I'm In favor of your makin' n
decision," Job declared; "and I am wil
lin' to leave it to your jedgment; but let
me tell you right now, parson, if you de
cide agin' Mark I'll whale you till all that
is left of you would ooze through a tow
sack."
"Gentlemen," said the preacher, "as I
just now remarked, I am not at all dis
pleased with my circuit. I am attached
to my ninety-eight Unsey shirts, and have
become smitten with my calico handker
chiefs. I shall make nd decision."
Mark and Job began to stretch them
selves on tho floor. "Let them sleep,"
said the old man. "Ho, me," he sighed.
I don't see no way outen this trouble."
"I do," the preacher answered; "step
outdoors with me."
When they returned tho old man said
"Judy, a decision has been made. You
must marry the preacher. Hold on, now
don't fly off. He'd do better by you than
any one of the boys. Why, jest ttiink,
he's got calico handkerchiefs enough to
make more bedquilts than you could
Btuff into a hired man's appetite, and
every woman in the community would
be"
"Petrified with envy," the parson sug,
rested.
An expression of delighted resignation
shone on tho eirl's face;
"I will make out the license and do
the marrvin mvself." said the old man.
"O don't he skeered ,now; I'll Ox the
boys all right.
Mark awoke, and getting up, aroused
Job. "Squire," said Mark, "we got a
little too much of your licker. Where
did you, get it?4
"That preacher that was here Bent It
to me tho other day,"
"Wall, ho knows what strong licker
is;. don t he, Job?'
"That's whut he do, Mark," Job added;
"I don't know how we air goln' to tlx up
tms love business."
- "Neither do l. Where's Judy?"
"It's well you may ask whar sho is,
when you drly' her olf in that way," an
swered the did man.
"Who driv' her off?" Job exclaimed.
"Why, you and Mark thar, when I beg
ged you not to drink bo much, nut you
didn't pay no attention to ,me. You swore
both of you that ef 1 tjidn't stand up
here and marry Judy to the preacher
you'd kill all of us, and I jest had to do
it, and then you driv' the bride and groom
away, and you ought to" be ashamed of
yoselves."
Mark and Job remained silent, sitting
over the Are for an hour at least, and
then Mart, looking up, Bald:
"Job, I don't believe there's but one
bigger fool than I am.
"Who's that, Mark?"
"Both of us together."
"You are right, Mark. Spozen we

The Buatleu rooeu fur Kettles.
The rustless process, which has been
until lately an experiment, has now
demonstrated that great economy can be
used, not only In Iron pipes, but in every
article where iron ia nmvl. Ov fi.OAO..
000 kettles have been subjected to this
process in Pittsburg. The method is
very peculiar. After tho urticle is made
It is put into a furnace made in an oval
shape, air tight. After the iron has at
tained almost a white heat, the air that
comes through the regenerators and air
valves Is shut securely off, and the fur
nace is made air tight. After the air
has been shut oil tho superheater, which
is located in the combination chamber at
the rear of the furnace, and at right an
gles from the air valves, is opened, and
the furnace is filled with steam and kept
In that condition for eight hours. At
short Intervals a small valve is opened,
so as to allow tbe exodus of steam in the
furnace, allowing fresh steam to be put
into It. When the articles have been
about ten' hours In the furnace there
lias been accomplished the formation of
magnetic oxide upon the Iron surface.
They are then put Into an acid well,
which Is the lost treatment. -Exchange.
Anecdote of Rubtnitaln.
La Starina, a Russian paper, tells how
in Rubinstein's earlier days he narrowly
escaped being sent to Siberia. He played
before the Czar Nicholas In the house of
Count Wielhorsky, and on returning
home lost his passport. A day or two
afterwards he was arrested and brought
before Gen. Galahoff, then chief of
police, who informed the prisoner that
tie declined to believe anybody's evid
ence of his identity, evefn that of the
count. Rubinstein persisted that he was
a mere musician, and as one of the sub
ordinate police officers knew something
.about musla tho two were sent to try
matters over on a dilapidated piano.
The test proved satisfactory, and the
general, remarking that '"the prisoner
was apparently a musician," gave him a
permit for throo weeks.
The Demand for Cut Glass.
The popularity of cut glass for table
decoration is not a fad, buf a growing
taste, tho outcome of Its increased beauty
in manufacture and design.
When you see a fashionable woman
peering over the cut glass counter, In
quiring for something In Parisian or
Henrietta or discussing (he merits of
"strawberry," "fan" or "djamoud," vou
may know she Is after American glass
andp refers a particular cut.
While the Inexperienced chopper sees
little difference in the slmll&rlj shaped
and decorated wares, It Is yet true that a
man In Pennsylvania Is roh as a king
