The Water Valley (Mo.) Itemizer,
and its former editor, the Rev. It. r.
Gibbs, a Methodist clergyman, now
dead, have been the cause of odd libel
and newspaper litigation. In the se
vere winter of 189S the Itemizer pub
lished articles written by its minister
editor, alleging that there was con
siderable suffering among the men and
women employes of cortaiu cotton
mills in Water Valley, due to the ex
cessive severity of the season, and re
flecting on the treatment of the em
ployes. The company got an iujuno
tion restraining the further publica
tion of such articles. SubaequeuUto
the granting of the injunction the
minister-editor died. The injunction,
when heard on its merits, was dis
solved; bnt the widow, who by that
time became a party to the snit, for
tome reason appealed. The supreme
court affirmed the dissolution of the
injunction ou tha grounds that an in
juni Hon could not be made perpetual
against a man deceased, that a pub
lisher conld not be restrained from
publishing; such a man's articles, and
finally that the articles were not libel
loun anyway. Now the widow has
brought damage suit against the
president of the company, alleging
that her husbaud, the editor, came by
bis death from injuries inflicted ou
him by the defendant in a street en
counter, and from the humiliation and
wo:iy consequent on thnt enco"uuter,
which was brought about by tha arti
cles published in tha Iteinizor.

"And I swear it

lo bin son's wordn, and continued:
"In In tlio most outrngooua thing I

"lint you do not boliovo money to

do you?" said Andro, striving to bo
calm. "It noemfl to mo that happi
ness enters in somewhere, nml if I
can bo happy with no ono but Noo

M. Delvnlloy burst into a loud, ex
asperating laugh.
"Thnt is too good I lie can bo
happy with no ono bnt Nocmio; a
porson of whose existence ho was
ignoraut mouth bofore lust I"
"Hut father "
"Enough!"
The tone in wlnoii thin word was
pronounced oonviucod Andre that bis
father's daoisiou was inflexible. lio
was aoonstomod to bow to tho will of
a despotic father, just as he had scoii
his mother yield until her death. In
his childhood ho and bis mother bad
been companions, and ofton togother
they had bent their heads to tho fury
of a storm aroused by sorao alight or
irregular domostio occurrence. Not
that M. Dolvalloy was a bud man.
He was quiok-temperod, but usually
reponted his outbursts and tried to
make nmonds when he saw the effect
of his harsh words. Before ho was
very old Andro had seon that the
family life of his father and mother
was not a happy one, though he did
not know to what to attribnte the
state of affairs. Since bis mother's
death be had simply given in to his
father wheu any question of disagree
ment had come between them, and un
til now they had lived comfortably
together.
The next day Andre returned to the
charge.
"I believe if you know what an un
happy night I passed, father "
"Enough, I say!" cried tho old
mau, not allowing him to complete
his aentenoe. I tell you I will never
give my consent to the marriage. A
girl without a penny!"
"I would not ask for your consent
at all if she had not refused to marry
me without it!" exclaimed Andre,
hotly.
"Ob, you would notl" M. Delvalley
laughed. "And pray, where would
you live and what would you do to
support your wife?"
"I could find something," replied
the young man, in a tone which made
bis father say, more gently than he
had yet spoken:
"I am oonvinoed that this girl and
her relatione are after your fortune.
You met them at summer hotel.
They found out who you were and
thought you would be a good 'catch,'
and have proceeded to catch you."
"If you would only listeu to me,
father, I could oonvince you of Noe
juie's sincerity."
Without replying to his son 51. Del
valley went on: "As you can't take
euro of yourself, I must take care of
you. Where do these Darauds live?"
"No. 27 Hue Nollet."
"Rue Nollet! And you say they
are not after your money!" M. Del
valley said, as be left his sou. He re
turned in a few raomeuts, a paper in
his hand, from which he read iu a
loud voice:
"Mine, Durand, 27 Rue Nollet: I
formally refuse my consent to the
marriage of my sou Audre and your
daughter, nud inform you that iWhe
event takes place I shall absolutely
disinherit my ton. Delvalhy."
Ito rung tho bell and a sorvant ap
peared, "Send thia tologrnm nt onoo," ha

Andrn made a move to follow tha
servant from thn room, but nftnr n

self. Tha old man wnitnd until tlio
sorvant hnd bad timn to Inavo the
house nnd then rntirod to his study,
leaving Andro alone.
Thn nnhniipy jonna man sat think

words of Noomio spoked thn niuht bo

so full of poiilldcnco, whiloba was
doubtful enough of his father's ap
proval.
"Whnn he knows how much we
love each other he will cousont," slio
unn said.
"Hut if be refuses?" Andro bad
asked.
"Then it must bo good by for ns,
lipcnuso I can never lot you ruin your
self for mo." And in spite of plnnd
ings and arguments bIio had romnitiod
f 1 r in.
"Poor N'omnio," lie thought. "How

All attoruoon tho two young noonlo

for tho telegram ami for Aunt itoso.
What had becomo of bis father's dis

Inst, long after tho time it should havo
como, tho maid entered with tho for
midublo envelope Noomio took it
and was about to opou it when Andre
said:
"Tonr it up without reading it. Wo
know what it says."
"I want to aco how it looks." re
plied Noemio.
As she read a wave of color swont
across her face.
"Andre," sho cried, "thore is aome

"Is it possiblo that Aunt Rose was
successful?" oriod Audre, beside him
self with joy.
"It must be that. Rut what means
did she employ? What is her secret?"
It was a long time before thevfouud
out, and thon Andre overheard a con
versation not meaut for her ears.
"I was right, was I not. to keeomv
faith in your good heart, and to inter
cept that fitst dispatch before I went
to see you?" asked Aunt Rose, in a
voice that Andre had never heard ber
make so tender and soft in tone.
"Ah, Rose!" responded M. Delval
ley in a voioe stranger still to the
listener, "how could I know that the
girl of Andre's choiee was yonr nieoe?
To tuinK that I was about to separate
them, as your father separated us, be
cause I was thon poor that they
would have suflered all that I suffered
in giving you up, and in thinking of
you all these years! And now that
we are united at last, you will not re

that he was listening and crept softly
away.

It will be remembered that shortly
before the outbreak of the Boer war
Sir George White met with an aocldent
to hia leg. He had by no means re
covered when hostilities were in sight,
and Lord Wolseley told him that he
feared that his temporary lameness
must be a reason for keeping him at
home.
But Sir George White, who was
lunching with bia chief at the United
Service Club, had an answer ready
which clinched the matter. "I beg
