' Herbert had that evening brousht a new number from town. It was cpille true that Aunt Drusilln in nil her life hud never hud a lover, never received the ntteiitions nnd the pretty speeches that cause n woman to virtue herself happily. She hail always been plain, self-sufllcliiK. even forbid iIIiik. Hut she had one moment of vanity. Some years before. the'Avnsron of an itinerant photographer had broken down on the toy of the hill in front of her house. It took hours to mend it; and at noon the man nskeil Miss rirockurfy if she would Rive him Home dinner. In return he would make net' it hologruih. cabinet sl'e and icely finished. She set a meal before hlin; afterwards lie sighted her with the camera, put atvuy the negative and promised to send the picture in a few days. "I fciiess 1 ain't likely to see my own face, without 'tis In the looking . jtlass," she suid. cynically, as he drove away. I'.ul the vagabond artist kept his w'ord nnd sent her the photograph. "I ain't got nobody to give it to, an' I'll keep it myself. 'TIs wuth too much money to throw away." she told Airs. Dunn. Nobody Imagined how greatly Miss Prusillu p! I .! I that picture; in which nil the wrinkles and seams not the auiitogrnphs of genlleund mellowed experience, but of hard and suspicious ill -humor had lie n smoothed out of her face.

V i Aunt point of the credible; she was aware that she possessed no beauties, but this likeness softly persuaded her that she was not so bad looking, nfter all. She fume to take Its testimony rather than thut of the undent mirror in its tar nished gilt frame which, indeed, gave u greenish hue to her countenance, and perhaps elongated it a trltle. It may be that the photograph wan so dear to her because, like a true friend, it look her at her best possibilities instead of her unlovely actuality. She was apt to frown at the mirror uml came us near us she ever did to a smile in look ing1 nt the photon uph. The portrait, un framed, always stood In the same place, near to the corner of the mantel piece, next to the side window of Miss li uslllu's chamber. The wan birch tree, looking in, must have witnessed some oddly kind glances pass from her face to its likeness. The bit of paste board was the sole object of the ten derness of the old woman, were this) from egotism or from u dim recognition of her belter self. "Miss Drusllly's turrible proud of her plcter. It don't handsome much, fur's 1 can see; but I'm glad if she lakes comfort In any thing." Mr. Dunn said to his wife. Corinna and Herbert did their best not to offend the old woman again by sight or healing of them. The girl had noticed that evening when, after the crisis of nerves, she curried out the aunt's small teapot, that the decoction hud been of extra strength: and she took heed that In future it should be of u milder brew. Hut Aunt Drusillu was immitigable; slm would hear nothing; In favor of young Jetinlson; his grand father had eaten of the sour grapes of litigation, and she would set the grand son's teeth on edge with all Sorts of hldeoun oddities. She would summon the family in huste. pounding' with hei st ick; as soon as the door was opened she would screeni disagreeable remarks at the lovers, order .lennisoll out of the hoii.se, cull them ill names, nnd always contrive to make some dark allusion to her thieut thut she, ul'ler death, would haunt them. It was unbearable, but what could be done? There was no dis ciplining a poor, Imlf-f raxed, helpless creature like that. They came to take her chldings like the bluster and shriek of the wind around the house. She grew gradually weaker, and ns her forces lessened, her temper ap pealed soniewhut milder. She some times thanked Holman Mrockway when he llfti-d her. "You've been real good to me, for one that ain't a blood rela tion," she said to Sarah one day. Hut although she seldom railed ut the lovers as indeed she rarely had the oppor tunityshe never spoke a kind word to Corinna. For all that the girl In her timid way tried to please the nunt. An hour before the old womuil died, she spoke ugain of the marriage with Her bert Jetinlson. but only to repent her uncanny threat: "I'm going to die, and I'll haunt you." It could only he felt as a relief when at last. Aunt Drusillu was laid away In the village burying ground, under the fir trees. "Now she can rest and give other folks a rest too," commented Mr. Dunn, returning' from the grave. The strfin hnd been long upon Sarah and Corinna: they felt depressed nnd nervous, nfter the fashion of weary women. It iVas time to plant early peas; ho that for Holmnn Hrockway there was work In the open air, which Is the universal solvent for all Imag inary and some renl troubles. The young people were to marry the next October; they would live with the parents of Corinna. and had decided to use Aunt Drusillu's room as their own parlor. Herbert thought that the fur nishing of It would be a wholesome and cheerful occupation for Corinna: "First, it cuu be well scrubbed and aired to drive out the blue devils." said this iiractic.il lover, "then Corinna and her mother must come in town and we will go to choose the furniture and the carpet. We may as well get the room ready now. ami have some good times evenings in It. I declare. I feel next door to married when Corinna sits by the lamp sewing while t roud aloud." So the room was freshly painted and papered; white mslin curtains were hung at he windows; a three-ply car pet of modest colors and pattern, and a sofa nnd chairs covered with Idue plush "I'm ininit to Die and I'll Haunt lun." very cheap njul stylish, the dealer had culled them mude up n little parlor w hich. If not artistic, was cozy and the pride of the heart of a good little girl. When her father was ushered Into the trunslornied room he admired it great ly. Then he began to look vaguely about him as if missing something. "I km to want to see Aunt Drusll ly's plcter In its place ngaln." he said. "Oh. no. father. It is our parlor now." Corinna protested. "I know that, daughter, on you've made it real pretty. Hut I guess we hev to remember that 'twas Aunt Drusilln's room liefore that, an' that we owe the house an' farm nn' all to her. K.he was aggravntln.' 1 know; hut she's gone where she sees things different. I expect she looks some like her photo graph now, nil kind of smoothed nut and pleasant. It would npear to rue like rememberin' of her at her best nn' gratefully, tn set her pitcher up where she always kept It. An' It can't hurt you and Herbert none. Corinny. I should roll It a just an' right act on your port." Holman Brock way had a streak of firm will, a mild form perhaps of that tn p HI ! 4,. l& of his litigious father and his rrabhod aunt. He fiike gentl but Corinna knew that tlrere was no opposing liim. "I shall simply die, to have Aunt Drus illu always) before my eyes," the girl complained. But her lover persuaded her that it was better to content her father. "We may get to be quite fond of the old girl, she looks so pleasant; and then he can't talk, which is an advantage." he said. Jestingly. During the daytime Corinna did not care to stay In the newly-furnished room; she had a tender little instinct that she would enjoy only in company with Herbert. She dusted it carefully every morning; then went out, closing the door behind her, not reentering' there until the evening brought her lover. He came by the electric cars now, a new suburban line had lately been completed. At 7:55 she could see the headlight at the turn of the road, in two minutes more she heard the hoarse hum of the wheels', at 7:68 Herbert would swing: himself off the car. which proceeded Just as if It were not deprived of its own valuable freight. At eight precisely. Corlnna's parents having greeted her lover, the young pair would tind themselves In their own little par lor. They were not sure whether they enjoyed that room most in the present or in anticipation. It wus very cozy for engaged people: they divined that It would appear still cozier when they should be married. (To be concluded.) ' INDUSTRIAL. A Chicago despatch says: The offi cials of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa KV deny the reports thut the company hus entered into a contract with the Wugner Palace Cur company to -put their sleepers on the entire system, ve plucing the Ptilhnun cars. No agree ment or contract of any kind has been made with the Wagner company nor are negotiations pending in thut direc tion. The contract with the Pullman company which was cancelled when the company was reorganised, has been temporarily renewed. It Is, however, subject to abrogation by the road on giving sixty days' notice. No such notice has been given and there is no immediate intention of giving it. ii II II Railway construction In Japan, which wus temporarily Interrupted during the late war, is) again becoming uctive. A sum of $i'2.tKW.0OO hus been voted for the construction of a double line. H76 miles long, between Toklo and Kobe, passing through the prlncipul commer cial and industrial centers of Japan, viz.: Yokohama. Kiota and Osaka. Numerous other lines have been pro jected In different yarts of the empire. itllciul figures state thut In March, 185, there were in Japan twenty-nine rail way companies, with 2.1D3 miles of line.

PhlladelphlaPress: The Reading Cool and Iron company has decided to shut down Its mines on Friday night for an indefinite period. This action i In view of the sentiment expressed at the meet ing of the presidents of the coal com panies last Thursday, when. It was deemed advisable to restrict the ton nage of various companies. At the Heading office nothing definite could be ascertained In regard as to how long the mines would be closed, but it Is un derstood that no work will be done for several days at least. While nothing was said about any of the other com panies closing their .mines it Is more than likely that similar action will be taken throughout the coal regions. Owing to the unseasonable weather there is very little demand for coal, and as the production continues to be very large the stock on hand Is fast accumu lating, so much so that some of the companies are having trouble to store it. and many of them are using their curs as storage yards. All the com panies are in favor of restricting the output, but upon the manner In which it Is to be done they have not decided. Some of the officers are Inclined to shut down their mines three days a week.. This scheme does not meet the approval of all the companies, as some of them would rather have the working hours reduced, and in this way operate their mines part- of every day. At the meet ing tomorrow in all probability this question will be decided. It is also ru mored that it has been agreed to charge the full circular price on all sizes of coal on ami after February 1. For some time past these prices have not been lived up to. and stove coal has been sold as low us $:i.25 per ton In New York, when the tcg-ulur price Is $4.15. During the week ending January 5 the Heading Kailroad company, transported ovef its system 2!i.0J5 tons, an increase over the corresponding week of 1895 of 72.4.1S tons. And for the year to date 2.1H5.S53 tons have lieen carried, as ajalnst I. 82.SS'.i last year, an increuse of 366.065 tons. , The advance In the price of Reading shures and securities since the plan of rtorgunlzutktii was accepted by the se curityholder has been marked. The ad vance In the stock ut yesterday's high est price was equivalent to 5 per cent., from the lowest price some weeks ago. The improvement in the bonds has been nearly as great. The movement Is said to be bused on the prospect of a settle ment between the 'oal companies, but the Morgan influence would in any event be exerted In the direction In the Improvement in the prices of Heading securities while the payment of the as sessments are pending. The Reading IVcetnber report the first month of the fiscal year was favorable. The rail road company shows a surplus in protits of $.17.jMS as compared with a deficit of $188.5X4 In ls4. The Coal and Iron com pany's loss on mining for the month wus $82,420. u decrease of $105,007, and the deficit In inciting charges for the month was $177,420. as compared with $2WJ.42S. Tho result for both companies shows an improvement of $:!42,5I7 as compared with the month of December, I MM. The Delaware and Hudson Canal company reports for the year ISM gross receipts from coal, $7..1t!l. :;; frotn rail roads. $IO,129.0S2. and from mlscellene ous sources. $1.2-1.157. making total gross receipts of $18,819,618, an Increase of $751,398; operating expenses. $1.1.176. 7.12. an Increase of $847,185; net earn ings of $.1.442J86. decrease $93,786; and balance after Interest, taxes and rent als, of $2.34.393, Increase $145,SO. PROLIFIC IX STATESMEN: Ohio lias Not Lost Iter Proud Precedence lo tha Nstlon-Tb Wonderful Oiiota of Ohio-Born Men in tha Senate and lions. Harry Hall, In Pittsburg Times. In the republic's later years Ohio has gone far toward wrestling from Vir ginia, the distinguished appellation of the "Mother of Presidents." Seven presidents were born on the sacred soil of the Old Dominion, four of whom, Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, were elected from their native state. William Henry Harrison was elected from Ohio, and Zachary Tay lor from Louisiana and John Tyler succeeded to the presidency from the vice presidency. It was not until 1840 that Ohio gave the nation a president, William Henry Harrison, and he was not born within her borders. In 1868 I'lysses 8. Grant, born at Point Pleasant. O., in 1822, but a citizen of Illinois, was elected and served two terms. He was succeeded by Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio, and four years later another Ohloan, James A. Garfield, became chief magistrate. In 1888 Henjamln Harrison, of Indiana, but born at North Rend, O.. succeeded flrover Cleveland In the white house. Thus Ohio had, In the period of 4S years.four native-born citizens and one by adoption In the presidential ottlce. and ranks next to Virginia as the state of presidents. Two of her sons. Wil liam McKlnley and William B. Allison are now named for that high office, and the present prospect Is that it will go to one of them. The "Ohio man" is also very much In evidence in the present congress. In the senate Ohio hus John Sherman and Calvin S. Brlce. her own two repre sentatives, and such distinguished senators front other states us William B. Allison, of Iowa, born at Perry. Wayne county. O.: Stephen B. Klkins, of West Virginia, born In Perry coun ty; Thomas H. Carter, of Montana, born In Scioto county, and I.ucien Bak er, of Kansas, these all Republicans: Daniel W. Voorhees. of Indiana, Dem ocrat, born In Butler county, and those two shining lights of Western Populism. William V. Allison, of Nebraska, born in Madison county, and James 11. Kyle, of South Dakota, born near Xeniii. Thus Ohio has more sons in the senate than any other state, those ranking next being New York, with Senutors IIIII and Murphy. Democruts: Gear, of Iowa; Teller, of Colorado, and Clark, of Wyoming, Republicans, and Stewurt. of Nevada, Populist and general blath erskite; Kentucky with Blackburn; Call, of Florida: Vest, of Missouri; Mills, of Texas; Palmer, of Illinois, Democrats, and Cullom. of Illinois, Re publican; and Pennsylvania, with Senators Quuy and Cameron; Burrows, of Michigan: Shoup, of Idaho; Mitchell, of Oregon. Republicans, und Peffer. of Kansas, Populist. In the house, too, Ohio comes In for no inconsiderable share of the mem bers. Of her own delegation of twenty-one members, all are Ohluns by birth except Sorg, born In Wheeling. W, Va.: DeWltt, In Indiana: Grosvenor, In Connecticut, and Northwny, in New York. Then she has. besides. R. R. llltt. Illinois, chairman of the important for eign affairs committee, born at I'rbana: Oeorge W. Smith. Illinois, a native of Putnam county; J. A. T. Hull. Iowa, of Clinton county: W. P. Hepburn, Iowa, of Wellsville, Columbiana county; W. H. Calderwood, Kunsus. of Perry coun ty; J. K. Cowen, Maryland, of Millers burg. Holmes county: J. A. Tracy. Mis souri, of Wayne county; C. G. Burton. Missouri, of Cleveland: J. E. Reyburn. Pennsylvania, of Clark county, and Warren Miller. West Virginia, of Meigs county. These give Ohio a totul mem bership in the house and senate of thirty-five, not including her four repre sentatives who were born in other states, or 9 out of the 87 senators and 26 out of 357 representatives. AN ANECDOTE OF IIKNHV W. GHAPY. The late Henry W. Grady, who was one of the best humorists, once related to a friend the following anecdote of his childhood: "It was shortly after the close of the war," said he. "and Georgia was flood ed with circulars of wild-cat lottery companies. I was then about fourteen years old. nnd walking In home late one afternoon I saw on the center-table in the drawing room one of those ster eotyped lottery circulars addressed to my mother. It' came from a lottery company In the north, purporting to be operated In the Interest of confederate widows, notifying my mother that they had been informed of thf death of her husband In the war and holding out to her the flattering offer of a $5,000 prize, provided she would buy a ticket at a cost of $5 and give the lottery a cer tificate that she had drawn a prize of $5,000. "I asked my mother if I could reply to that c ircular," said Grady, "and she cheerfully gave her consent. I at once Indited a communication as follows: " 'Gentlemen: Your favor received. I herewith accept wour proposition and request that you send by return mull A Startling Admission. In New York City, for five con secutive years, the proportion of Deaths from Consumption has been three in every Twenty Persons. Epidemics of Cholera, Yellow Fever and other dieae of similar character, so ter rible in their results, occasion wide spread alarm and receive the most careful consid eration for their prevention and cure, while consumption receives scarcely a thought, vet the number of their victims sinks into insignificance when compared with those of consumption. Comparatively few people know what to do for their loved ones when they see them gradually lose strength, lose color, manifest feeble vitality and emacia tion, or develop a cough, with difficult breathing, or hemorrhage. Cod liver oil was for a long time given in all such cases, but the poor success attending its use coupled with its nauseating taste lias led many practitioners, as well as the public at large, to place their main reliance in Dr. Pierce's (..olden Medical Discovery, ltde. nerves early attention and will prove effect ual not in every case but in a large percentage of cases, nnd we believe that fully 9$ per cent, of all cases of consumption can. if taken in the early stages of the disease, be cured with the "Discovery."
