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

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

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.

RAILROAD NOTES.
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

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." Dr. Pierce does not
ask people to believe until they have in
vestigated for themselves. A pamphlet lias
been published having the names, addresses
and photographs of a latge number of those
cured of consumption. In oncliitis. lingerine

"You outwitted them cleverly,", said
th friend to whom the story was told.
"Yes." replied Grady, with n twinkle
of merriment in his eyes, "and it's the
first time 1 ever found out that I had
any sense!" Stanton, in Times-Herald.
THAT SETTLED IT,
The esteem In which the sailor's call
ing is held In Massachusetts coast
towns is indicated by a story that
comes from Martha's Vineyard. A
teacher was wanted and a sailor ap
plied for the position. He had to pass
an examination by the committee and
trembled at the ordeal, being Eadly un
learned In book-lore. The chairman
began the examination: "Mr. ,
what Is the shape of the earth?" "It is
round, sir," the candidate answered.
"How do you know?" "necauae I
have sailed around It three tinier."
"That will do, sir!" He received his
"certificate" ns a teacher without an
other question being asked.

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pate
rons thut they will this year hold to their usual custoaa
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
Is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion thut H is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will ta'ie
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding. ,
This careful attention to every detail of milling hot
5 laced WaihburuCrtsby Co.'s flour far above other
rands.
