A Delicate Compliment.
Many delicate compliments have

In speech, but here is one straight
from the heart of an illiterate negro
that is difficult to excel:
It is recalled by the Rev. C. P.
Smith of Kansas City, In telling the
story of a marriage fee.
"When I was preaching at Walla
Walla, Wash.," he says, "there was no
negro preacher in town, and I was
often called upon to perform a cere
mony between negroes. Ono after
noon, after I had married a young
negro couple, the groom asked the
price of the service."
" 'Oh, well,' said I, 'you can pay me
whatever you think it is worth to you.
"The negro turned and silently look
ed his bride over from head to foot,
then slowly rolling up the whites of
his eyes to me, said:
"'Lawd, sah. you has done ruined
me for life; you has, fur sure.'"

C. K. Sober was showing a group
of Pennsylvania statesmen over his
famous chestnut farm near Bhamo-'

"I have been told," said an insur

"That Is impossible," said Mr. (So

reminds me of life in the west.
"A friend of mine sat one cold night
before the red-hot stove In a western
saloon.
"At the bar a number of tall stor

an illustration to present of his own
bravery or generosity or Lotharlo

crossing a long, high, one-track rail
road bridge on the ties when I seen
a train coming toward me. Tho
bridge was too narrow for me to draw

I concentrated all my nerve and mus

up in the air. The terrible loco shot
under me and I came down safe and;
sound on the bridge, preserved from
death, but seriously shaken by the
descent.'
"At the conclusion of this tale a
groan went up from the assemblage
and an old miner with a white beard
said bitterly:
" 'What's the use of presence of

on the outside benches. One middle
aged, quietly dressed and obviously
respectable woman sat alone. Pres

skirts and drew a small box from out
of her stocking. She opened the box
rnd took therefrom a pinch of snuff.
This done, she replaced the box in
her stocking and fastened her garter.
The pungent odor of snuff pervaded
the air, but the woman appeared un

Love for the Old Home.
Mankind Is nomadic, find while the
sweetest poetry In the language Is In
spired by the old homo, the monu
mental work In the world has been ac
complished in the main by thos? who
left the parental roof to pursue else
where the quest for fortune, fame and
high success. Nevertheless, the love
for the old home abides. The re
union of those who remain and those
who have departed Is an occasion
that will stir the pulse of any com
munity in which such a soulful event
takes place. The pretty announce
ment was made by a newspaper in a
little New England town which was
about to celebrate Its old home week
that "the Jones boys have arrived
and Charles will preach In the Pres
byterian church on Sunday." A little
waif of news like that revives old
times and pays for all the prepara

Story of a Medfard Warrior.
Capt. James C. D. Clark of the
Lawrence Light Guards of Medford,
Mass., wuh a Rpeaker at a recent
camp fire of civil and Spanish war
veterans, end related the following
story:
A Medford man, a quaint chaiacter
of Irish birth, returned from tho civil
war with an undisputed record of
hard and meritorious service in the
army,
The younger generation, hearing ot
his bravery, tried unsuccessfully to get
bis own version of his part in the
bloody struggle.
One day. flndlnc himself bpslppprl
by a number of persistent questioners,
tho modest warrior consented to
rpcak.
"We'd get up in tho morntn' at
6 o'clock," he began, "an' have break
fast. Begin flghtin' at 6, knock off at
12. Begin shootin' Hgln at 1, knock off
at 6 an' ate supper, iin' turn in to
sleep. Every day tho same old thins:
that's all."
Under Arrest, but Unguarded.
While Gen. Brugere, corurrander of
the French army, wss under fifteen
days' arrest In Paris ho was not per
mitted to leave his quarters on any
pretext except to transact official busi
ness at the war office, might not wear
his sword and could receive no visi
tors. But In consideration of his
high rank no sentry was placed over
hlra.
beeu but few cases of its kind be
fore, and tli cy have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach bus never
used either, but has been a great cof
fee drinker, and the specialists hove
decided that the case has beru caused
by this. Leach slated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
of coffee for breakfast, two at noon
and oue at night. According to the
records of the specialist of t'Us coun
try this is tho first case ever caused
by the use of coffso.
The nerve Is ruined beyond aid and
his cas !s incurable. The fact that
makva the case a queer ono Is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has ben retained. Accord
ing to the doctor's statement the young
wan will have to glvo up coffee or the
rest of his sight will follow and the
entire nerve, be ruined.-Keg titer Qa-tctto.
