Parcel la Mrs. Miranda Bilks was a widow that is to say, Mr. Bilks had suffered demise from the effects of a too hearty meal on peach cobbler, thus ; leaving his ki>ou*c, Miranda, and his daughter, little Miranda, to live as best they might oft his none too generous estate, which same was comprised of an ax, a hoe, a spade, a pair of soieless shoes ami a pair of trousers, with sun dry repairiugs fore and aft. Mrs. Bilks therefore did not desert her calling, but continued to bend over the washtub and rub and scrub from morning until night. And so the years slipped away, bringing Mrs. Miranda to middle ago and crowning Miss Mi randa with the dower of sweet sixteen. I use the word "dower" advisedly, for it was about this time that Miss Miranda was thinking seriously of matrimony, and nothing under the sun had she but—Just sweet sixteen. The real cause of her cogitations on so Im portant a matter was to Ik? found in the person of one Zeke Sharp, a mild mannered, easy going widower with six children. Zeke was not burdened with "YOU SHORK WOULD FILIi THE CONTINUED ZLKE. Intellect. It was even supposed by his neighbors that he was entirely innocent of having any of that great force hid den about his anatomy. This, however, mattered not, for he paid court to Miss Miranda with an assiduity that was marvelous. Indeed it was often only after clear and em phatic Intimations from Mrs. Bilks, who looked upon his attentions to her daughter with extreme scorn, that he took himself off. Far was it, though, from Mr. Sharp's intentions to be discarded and forgot ten in such a manner, for he invariably returned the next day to renew his wooings with increased fervor. This state of affairs continued for some time. At last Mrs. Bilks grew suspicious. There was a lurking fear In her mind that the association of Zeke and Miss Miranda was more congenial than she had believed, or, for that matter, more than they had cared to reveal. To A erify these suspicions Mrs. Bilks ensconced herself behind a door near where the couple sat in order that she might the better cateli the drift of their conversation. What she heard satisfied her beyond question that she had sur mised correctly. With much dispatch, therefore, she set aside the washtub, doused the Are under the kettle with water and, donning her best frock, hur ried to the office of the county clerk, where, with a long pointed linger, she warned that gentleman not to be "glv ln' of any licenses to Miranda Bilks an' that rapscallion Zeke Sharp." Then she returned home In a very complacent humor with herself for hav ing forestalled the elopers. She was hardly prepared, though, for the conse quent developments, and it was with much surprise that she herself received a visit from Zeke Sharp. Zeke tapped lightly on the front door. Mrs. Bilks answered the knock •and coldly iuformed him that "Mirun ilV wasn't to home." "It be you I wuz a-waiitln' to see, anyways," responded Zeke in a feeble voice. At this piece of news Mrs. Bilks' eyes widened perceptibly as she re garded her caller for a moment. It wasn't necessary, however, for her to Invite him in, for Zeke was already In and seated. "I shore wuz sorry, Mlz Bilks, 'cause you wouldn't let me an* Mi randy have them licenses." And Zeke sighed wearily. "Licenses be fudged!" snapped Mrs. Bilks. "Things air a-comin' to a purty pass when a man wants to lope off with a gal 'tain't more'n sixteen an' ain't never baked bread ner stitched a stitch, much less tended to a house Jam' full o* chillern, like you already got. Seems to me you'd a-plcked a wo man a little nigher yer own age an' one what knows how ter do somethin'." Here Mrs. Bilks smoothed out a gar ment on the ironing board, took up an iron and worked Industriously as she waited for Zeke to reply. "That's Jes* what I come to see you about," replied the meek man. "You know if our heads wuz set me an' Ml randy could go down to Ilornetville an' fjit the licenses. Mirandy's a good gal, an' 1 think a heap of her, but she's so young an' delicate-like I'm afeard she'd not set much store by the chillern, an* you know I want somebody that'll be a mother to 'em. I thought o' you lots o' times, Miss Bilks, 'cause you're so chip per an' handy 'bout the house, but I didn't s'pose you'd care to take the •sponslblllty." "I guess you never axed me," retort ed Mrs. Bilks. "You shore would till the place," con tinued Zeke. "You're not more'n thirty five"— "Jes' thirty-four, an' I guess they Hn't many wimmen that can git aroun' as spry an' do as much work as me nei ther," flashed Mrs. Bilks proudly. ! "If you wouldn't tnlnd," went on Zeke, "we might as well hitch up an' try double harness awhile anyways." I "Now you're a-talkin' sense," declar ed the widow, "an' they ain't no use n-wastin' time If we're goin' to git mar ried. I reckon that house an' them chil lern air a-needln' attention bad 'nough now. I guess Mirandy 'll ride a high boss when she finds we're spliced." I Mrs. Bilks Hushed to the roots of her hair. r . ha— ■pi All August Prices Are Bargains. Tne Most Economical Time. Best Values.

Again the work was put nshle, again (ho best frock was donned, and again the widow visited the county clerk's office, this time accompanied by Mr. J Zeke Sharp. It was the latter who ap- ' plied for the license for "Ezekial Sharp an' Miz Mirandy liilks." The clerk glanced at Mrs. Bilks and smiled. That lady blushed and hung her head, by ! which he Inferred that she had with drawn her former objections, and he wrote out the license in which the la- , dy's name appeared # as Miss Miranda Bilks. If Mrs. Bilks had high hopes of be- 1 ing married a second time they were soon to be dashed to the ground, for on I emerging from the office who should the couple encounter but Miss Miranda. ' "Here's them licenses!" shouted Zeke, I as he caught the girl by the arm. Mrs. Bilks stared at them in surprise. ! A moment later she came near fainting | with amazement when the two sud- j denly vanished around a corner. She j wheeled about and dashed into the i clerk's office again, where a stormy In- | tervlew took place. "I'll have the law on you, sir!" she railed. "I told you not to be a-glvln' ; them licenses to Mirandy an' that seal- j a wag! He told you mlz, an' you writ 1 'em fer her, yuu tarnal scoundrel, you!" i "He said Miss Miranda," protested j the clerk as he dodged behind a table, j Not fur away the decamping parties were standing before a minister, who had commaikHml them to "Join right i hands." "You lie!" screamed the widow. "He eaid miz!" And she made a dive after the retreating official. Not far away the minister said, "I , pronounce you man and wife." 1 As Zeke and his bride descended the front steps of the pnvsohage they must have heard sounds, which same em- ! ' ana ted from the office, where the Irate j Mrs. Bilks was strenuously endeavor ing to lay her hands on the clerk who made a mistake. | = - YOUTH IS CONTAGIOUS. ▲n«l Young Wlve«, It Is Calmed, R*> Jnvennte Old Hnabands. "Strange statistics," said an Insur ance agent, "are collected In my busi ness. | "I have fouud that the more times a man marries the younger In comparison 1 with himself he wants his wife to be. For instance, his tirst wife on the aver age is four years younger than he. Ills second Is ten. His third Is twenty or , thirty. I "What do these statistics prove? Do they prove that as a man gains in years and experience he finds that It Is best, for many reasons, to be almost as old as his wife's father, or do they only prove that as men approach old ; age they are more foolish than they I were in youth? "Old X., aged seventy, with a third I wife of twenty-three, said on tills head , the other day: ■ " 'You can't marry a girl too young, i The younger she is the longer she'll keep her health and strength and i beaut}*. Furthermore, the older you aro j the more respect she'll have for you. She'll reverence you and obey you as she would her own father or grand father.' "Young wives rejuvonate old hus bands," the Insurance agent ended. "They make these old fellows dress younger, talk younger, act younger and ' feel younger. Youtli Is contagious.

Everything is now ill readiness for the Wiike-s-Barre fair, which is to he conducted in that city during the week of August 27, and which gives every indication of being not only the larg est but the most successful county fair ever conducted in northeastern Penn sylvania. The sum of 520.000, which has I been offered in premiums, lias caused exhibitors of prize cat tle, sheep and swine from fifteen states to enter their stock and it now looks as if their would lie hardly enough room for these exhibits. Upwards of 8,000 birds have been entered in the poultry show and there have been several hundred horses entered for the horse show. The fair will be open both morning, afternoon and night. There will be harness races each afternoon and run ning races each night by electric light. The grounds will be illuminated each night with several hundred arc lights and 5,000 incandescent lights. Every thing will be wide open just as during the day. This distinctive feature should prove to be a great attraction. There will be a Midway in conjunc tion with the fair. This will be (500 feet long and 100 feet wide and it will be lined from end to end with a suc cession of high class shows. Among them will be an elaborate scenic pro duction entitled "She," which is bas ed upon Kicler Haggard's famous novel of that name. Then there will be "The Tragedy at Sea," in which the wreck of a great liner in mid ocean is shown with marvelous real ism. Buckskin Ben's Wild West show will also have a place 011 the Midway. 011 a great platform erected in the center of the ground and directly in front of the grandstand a splendid free show will be given twice daily. This will comprise a dozen high class acts, many of them imported. Among these might be mentioned the Imper ial Japanese troupe of eleven perform- erg, who will appear in a series of sensational acrobatic and juggling specialties. The race track at the fair grounds is deemed to be one of the fastest in the country and over 200 horses have been entered in the various races. Among these are many grand circuit horses. The starting judge will be Frank Walker, of New York city, the best known harness race official in the United States. The admission to the grounds has been fixed at 25 cents and arrange incuts have been made with all of the large railroads for special excursion rates during the week of the fair. DR.
