Good Uncle Bc i\ c » LEWIS Copyright. IMU, by ('. B. Lewis Sarah Jane Williams, daughter of Farmer John Williams, was character ized by her parents as a pigheaded girl. They said she had been pigheaded even In her babyhood days and had grown worse as she grew older. When asked by her In reply to furnish a bill of particulars, about all they could bring forward was the fact that at seventeen she had refused to marry a lightning rod man twice her age, that at eighteen she had scorned a patent hayfork agent who had fallen in love with her at first sight, at nineteen she had refused to receive the attentions of an old widower who owned the only windmill for ten miles around and at twenty she was "taken up" with Har ry Seymour, son of a nearby farmer in moderate circumstances. The girl did not dent that she meant to marry Harry. But the old folks had other plans in view. They wanted her to look higher, even as high as the com mission man who came through the country every fall buying up thou sands of bushels of apples. They first began objecting to Harry In a gen eral way, but In the course of a few months lie had been as good as forbid den the house. The lovers' difficulties simply in- j creased their love. They had about de termlned on an elopement when Uncle Ben Churchill arrived on a visit and with him a distant relative. Uncle Ben was Mrs. Williams' brother, and the distant relative was a second cousin to both and a young man of twenty-two. The first thing that Uncle Ben did was to discover that Sarah wanted to mar ry and that her parents were opposed to the match. The first thing that the second cousin did was to fall in love with Sarah Jane. That made throe complications on hand at once, and Uncle Ben was in his element. If there was one thing he liked better than an other It was complications. When he *%W~- ~ I "I*X|Z> HELI TOU I'I.A.V AS ELOPEMENT " j hud seen that the second cousin was : smitten he took his part against the field. "Look a-here, Sarah," he began one day us he got the girl to sit down be side him In the orchard, "you believe I know folks better'n you do, don't you?" "Yes, of course." "I orter, Sarah-I orter. I've been Ufc New York and Boston and all aroun™ and I can spot a pickpocket as far as I can see him That feller Harry ain't no feller for you to marry. I didn't have to look at him twice to see that he'll never make a hustler." "I don't see why," protested Sarah. "Natur* didn't make him that way. You'd never have a second dress to your back if yuu married him. Better give him right up now, aud lcmiue p'lnt you out a feller who'll make a crackln' good husband." "Who is It?" "Your Cousin Walter. He's fell In love with you and can't sleep o' nights, j He's a feller who's goin' to rip up the ground all around some day." "But I know I never could love him." "One can do a heap of things, my «tri. If she sets out to. You jest go around thlnkln' about Walter from mornln' till night, and you'll be lovln' him Inside of a week." "I don't believe father and mother would like it." "Say, now, that's the fun of the hull thing," laughed Uncle Ben as he rub bed his hands together. "I've kinder sounded your dad and mam, and they ain't stuck on Walter. They can't cot ton to a feller who parts his hair In the middle and lins a gold filled tooth. They might be opposed to a marriage, but that marriage could come off Jest the same." "How?" asked Sarah, with consider able interest. "Lean your head down till I whisper one word In your ear elopement. If you and Walter make np to each other, I'll help you plan an elopement and put SIOO in your hand for a bridal dow er. I'd jest like to show your dad and mam that there's other folks who know a thing or two." An idea was trying to work Itself out in Sarah's mind, and she asked for half a day to think things over. At the end of that time she accepted Un cle Ben's proposition. "Good girl!" he exclaimed as he kiss ed her and smiled like a June morning. "Yuu just go right ahead lovln' Walter, and when the time comes I'll be on band." Sarah and Walter went ahead. As •je was no great favorite of her par ■nts she was not put to any great -wither. The most she had to do was :o hear him sigh and recite poetry and ijsistrophlze the rising and setting sun. Backed and urged on by Uncle Ben, le finally propped and was luferen ially accepted. This was no sooner >ver with than there was a further ."Oufab In the orchard. "Now, then, for the elopement'." •buckled Uncle Ben. "And here's the 5100. I'll give Walter another hun- Ired before the thing conies off.'' "Dear old Uncle Ben, but what a food man you arc!' Sarah said grute 'ully. "Yes, all wool and a yard wide," he •eplled as he pinched her cheek. Three nights later at 11 o'clock at light Sarah Jane Williams tiptoed loftly downstairs and left the house. There were a horse and buggy waiting H iki' road which had been ordered by A young man followed loße on her libels and took the lines md drove away.

It was Wal ter, the distant relative. 11 9 had been locked in his room for the last half hour. "By gum. but let us flgger on this;' exclaimed Uncle Ben as his smile van ished. It needed uo Sherlock Holmes to un ravel the mystery Sarah had locked Walter In.and Walter was out of It. The man who had driven off with her to get married before the waiting min ister in the nearest village must be Harry Seymour. They would see Nl agara falls and other wondens of the world on that SIOO, and then come back for forgiveness. Walter, my boy," said good Uncle Ben when through witk Ms "flgger ing.

"Uncle Ben," replied the chagrined and dejected distant relative, "you conspire a'vl plan and chuckle and are an hllot." USE OF PERSONAL PRONOUN Why Tltv I ncaldvmrd Appear Al vtn>« to He Talking of Self. AH the uncultivated appear almost al ways to be talking about themselves, but It is easy for a superficial observer to exaggerate the extent to which this Is the case. For instance. If you dis cuss with a cultivated man a question of morals or the wisdom or rectitude of any particular line of conduct, he will tell you what he thinks right or what he thinks wrong or what strikes him ns wise or foolish, with very little use of the personal pronoun. He can see the situation from the ootald®. But If you discuss It with an uneducated man he Is incapable of this detached atti tude of mind. The uneducated man can only picture the clrrumfltances to him self by picturing himself In the midst of them. What he thinks right and wlbc Is, no doubt, often o great deal better nnd wiser than what he would actually have done. "Such and such a thing was wrong; I should not have done It,"he says, or: "Such and such was foolish. Now, had It been me, 1 should have done so and so." To the sophisticated listener he gives an Im pression of appalling self righteous ness and even perhaps of hyfcrocrisy, but the impression is a mistaken one. He argues in the vocative caße, because It is the one in which he can most eas ily express himself. Some people. It must be admitted, at tract confidences from those who have uo weakness for making them. We are not alluding to those persons who by a method of deft cross questioning manage to abstract information with which they have uo business. Such Information is not confided hy Its orig inal owner, but stolen from him, or at least wormed out of him. The i*ople we mean have that In their face and bearing which makes all the world at home with them. Whoever meets them may know that they are Incapa ble of giving a snub or a rebuff to any one who claims their sympathy, be he never so silly. They go about the world unarmed and unafral4 aud, to give human nature Its due, unhurt. Uu consciously, it is they who make the first confidence, telling those who see them, even for the first time, that they are sympathetic anil detached, ami as shrewd as they are harmless.— London Spectator. Strantte Fate of an Encltah Karl. "I came across a bit of treasure the other day," writes a Washington au thor who Is down on Cape Cod. "It Is the log book of the schooner Hera, which sailed from Boston on a dry in the seventies. She sailed with a new first mate on board. "He seemed an ambitious man, and he understood navigation. The cap tain suspected him of a desire to be master of a vessel himself some day, but there was little about him to sug gest that he was anything but a sailor. The third day out he was caught by the down haul of the mlzzen and went overboard. Ills body was never recov ered. When the Hera came back from her voyage she was met by two Eng lishmen. They had crossed the wa ter posthaste to find that first mate. Somebody had died In England, and— well, the man who wts lost off that Yankee schooner was the Earl of Aberdeen."—Washington Post. Bore on Too Heavily. "This won't go for only one stamp," said the village postmaster to old Un cle Klah as the latter handed hini a bulky and much sealed missive. "Whuf for? What's de maddah wid dat?" "Too heavy," replied the postmaster, balancing it on his hand. "Uinpb! I tole dat boy so when he was a-wrltln' of it. I tole him he was writin' too heaby a ban", but he kep' on a-bearin' down an' a-bearin' down on de peu, lahk a load o' hay. I'll take It back, sah, an' mek him write wid a pencil. I ain't gwiue spen' no mo' 2 centses jes' fer his plgheadedness." A PECULIAR COMPOUND CryoKlane Thnwn In the raid and Freemen Under Heat. According to a German medical jour nal, very anomalous is the conduct of n peculiar chemical compound known as "cryostase." This consists of a mix ture in equal parts of phenol, saponin and camphor, with a little turpentine oil. This weird substance possesses the remarkable quality of becoming liquid, or we may say of "thawing," In the cold, and again becoming solid, or, as It were, "freezing." when heated It Is true that some other bodies as. for instance, the white of an egg pos sess a similar property of becoming solid, or coagulating, with heat, but In the case of these, when once the solidl fication bus taken place, no decree of cold will restore them to the liquid state, whereas with cryostnee the ex periment can be repeated and the process reversed any number of times. We have thus a substance which ab solutely defies all rule and precedent, but of whose exceptional behavior no satisfactory explanation has as yet been given. Tlie Hreaded Artl»t. The thought of possible cartoons can not well be absent from the minds of men whom all the world knows. Mr. L. A. Tollemache, the author of "Talks With Mr. (Jlndstone," told not In the book a story which presents the statesman in an attitude not familiar In ordinary representations of the great man. One stormy day during one of Mr. Gladstone's visits to Biarritz he walked from bis hotel to call on Mr. Tolle mache, who was amazed to see that Mr Gladstone came without an um brella. Mr. Gladstone laughingly explained that if the higli wind had happened to turn bis umbrella inside out a picture of him in that forlorn plight would have found its way into half the comic papers of Europe. "Set a Thief to Catch a. Thief" [Original.] "I don't like this trip, Archie, at this time especially, so soon after having beeu married. Besides, Carlotta knows no one here. I wish you'd do what you can for Carlotta while I'm gone." "Certainly, Bob. Doesn't she know any one at all?" "A few women and one man—that fellow Reynolds. 1 don't like him, and I should prefer to have you monopolize her time rather than that he should have a chance to do so." "Hut, my dear boy, why not leave it to her to"— "She's young, unsophisticated and a woman. I don't believe in temptation for any one. How do we know that if you or 1" "Hats! We're not women. I'd trust you or myself anywhere. "Hut I'll do my best for you, old man." Robert Young left on a two mouths' journey, and on the evening of his de parture bis bosom friend, Archie May, called on his wife. He had barely been seated when Mrs. Young raised a pair of mild blue eyes to ills and said: "Bob told me before he went away that 1 was to be guided in my associ ates by you. I think you'd better tell me just whom to avoid." "What a child!" thought May. "One Would suppose I was her papa." Then he told her he wouldn't presume to do such a thing. "I'm very anxious," she said, "to so conduct myself that you can conscien tiously make a good report of me to Bob when he returns. If there is any one he would have me avoid I wish to know it." May fenced with her for awhile, but she coaxed and teased till at last she got the secret out of him that Martin Reynolds was the man of all others to be avoided. Now, there was nothing against Mar tin Reynolds except that lie was a very attractive young man and a general fa vorlte. May kept bis promise to his friend to take care of his young wife by calling regularly three times a week. At the end of ten weeks the nights when he didn't call became a bore to him. 11l en one evening he called and found Reynolds in bis place. May looked sternly at Mrs. Young, who cast down her eyes in a self reproach ful manner, but when Reynolds left she explained that circumstances had led to Reynolds' visit and she couldn't have avoided inviting him without ap pearing uncivil. May still appearing dissatisfied, she began to coax him not to blame her, at last begging him to excuse her with tears. That ended May's fatherly sternness, and he for gave her on condition that she discour age any further visits fn-m the objec tionable man. The coolness between May and the lady was followed by a very happy reconciliation. Ten days after tills episode a friend of May's said to him: "Seems to me Mart Reynolds is get ting pretty thick with that little Mrs. Young." "What makes you think so?" "Well, my sister has been into see her two nights during this week, and my cousin lias been there another night. Reynolds has been there all three evenings." May was startled. He had been to see his charge every alternate evening, therefore Reynolds must have l»een to see her on every other alternate even ing. When May went to see Mrs. Young again there was a scene. She admitted everything, but declared that she was a victim of circumstances. May was convinced that she needed protection from Reynolds, and his blood boiled to protect her. Mrs. May begged him not to tell her husband of Reynolds' atten tions and managed to find an opportu nity to bring in an admission that she infinitely preferred him (May) to Reyn olds. This mollified May, and the dan ger from Reynolds seemed less terrify ing. From this time very tender rela tions existed between May and his charge till a day or two before Robert Young's return. Then May and Reyn olds met at Mrs. Young's, and she turned the cold shoulder on May, de voting herself exclusively to Reyn olds. May deliberately insulted Reyn olds by ordering him out of the house. Mrs. Young, after vainly endeavoring to restore peace, begged them both to leave, which they did. The next morning Mrs. Young hired a detective to watch the two men and report every movement. At noon he brought her in a report, and she sent him to a telegraph office with a dls patch for her husband, to which a re ply was received that he would be at home by the midnight train. At 8 o'clock the next morning he was awakened by his wife, and half an hour later they were In a carriage driv ing to the suburbs, the detective on the box. Just before sunrise they turned into a wood and soon came to an open space shut in on all sides by trees. A small party was there, in cluding May, Reynolds, two friends and a surgeon. Mrs. Y'oung held her husband back till May and Reynolds were placed facing each other with pistols in their hands, when she rush ed forward and threw herself dramat Ically between them. "What in thunder does all this mean?" exclaimed her husband, com ing up. "It means, Bobby, dear, that the next time you go away and leave me in care of one of your fascinating friends to keep off one of your fascinating ene mles you'd better put a watch on them to keep them from shooting one an other. Come, gentlemen, this has gone far enough. into your carriage, and we will do the same. I've ordered a sumptuous breakfast to celebrate Bobby's return, and we'll all go aud felt it." ARTHUR C. BRADLEY. WESTMINSTER HALL. Ita ItarKiilii Counter*, Statr Trial* nml Coronation Banquets. Westminster hall, whose old gray walls have seen coronation banquets and state trials, used to echo with the bargains driven at shops or stalls which at one time fringed its walls like a modern bazaar. These were kept by booksellers, toy dealers, sempstresses and milliners. The rents and profits went by right to the warden of the Fleet. An engraving of the busy scene was made by Mosdy and prints taken therefrom by Gravelot before 1773 showing how. In hall of Westminster, Sleek sempstress vends amidst the court* her waie. In "Tom Hrown's Amusements" (1770> we read: "We enter into a great hall where we were surprised to see lu the same place men on one side with baubles mid toys and on tlie other tak en up with fear of judgment.

JAPANESE LACQUER. ?*oin«' of It I* So r.x|H*iiNlve Tlmt It Seldom Roaclifii ('». In the hilly country two Industries ! come to help agriculture namely, silk raising and lacquer. To name only oue district, the villages along the Naka sendo have gained much by modern improvements In silk ralglng. The Ineqner tree may possibly have been imported from China, as so many Other trees and plants were, but It cer tainly was known and used In Japan at a very early period. We are used to thinking of it as ornament only. It Is that and much more besides, for plain lacquer bowls and trays are al most necessities of daily life. They raise most of what is used In certain provinces, hut Tokyo Imports a good deal of Juice to be manufactured there. The tree is a species of rhus, closely allied to our poison ivy and having the same power to produce an Irritating rash on the skin. The workers get over this, however, and do not have It again, hut they say that people some times get It from handling howls or trays which have not been dried long enough. To get the sap the farmer cuts a notch in the side of each tree, and aft er a time a thick Juice oozes out; then the farmer goes around with a wooden spatula gathering the drops into a pall. It will keep for a long while, but must not be allowed to dry up nor to be heated above a certain point, for it contains a peculiar acid which causes the juice to ferment and harden. The pieces that have been varuished must therefore be dried in mild and moist air. Tokyo in August is usually Just right, about 87 degrees. A good piece of lacquer has to be most carefully made, In the first place, and then varnished with layer after layer, each being dried aud polished before the next goes on. Certain pig ments mixed with it give red, black or green. To apply gold a wash of var nish is laid where the design Is to be and the gold powder sprinkled on from a hollow bamboo stick with a fine sieve over the end. When It is dry It must be revarnished and repollshed over all. With all these repeated proc esses a tine piece may be on hand for months, even years. Naturally this is not the kind that is prepared for for eign export, for people abroad will not pay for It. Anna C. Hartsborne In Chautauqua n. A SninßKllnic Srk«m«. Hany are the devices employed by wjugglers both by land and sea. A very smart tri«-k is related of a method by which brandy was conveyed through Paris. Regularly, day after day, a tandem bicyclo made its way through one of the gates into the city and attracted no attention. The same pair of cyclists rode It always and ap peared to be but workmen hastening to their work from their homes In the suburbs. One morning, Just after the machine was through the gates, it went to earth, unseating both the riders. The man who had occupied the front seat Jumped to bis feet, grabbed the machine, vaulted into the saddle and rode for his life, never giving a glance at his stunned companion. As tonished, the customs officers* who had •witnessed the mishap, rushed to the aid of the fallen man, who showed no signs of life. They were still more sur prised when they reached hlru, for he wasn't a man at all, but Just a dummy with movable legs and arms, a false head and face and a hollow body of rubber. He had punctured in the fall and ten gallons of the best brandy was making its exit as quickly as it could. 11l The Home Paper of Danville. I | ! Of course you read . I Mil MI I i ™ p,,,,.
