HER SILVER SPOONS. THEY REMAINED HER PROPERTY, BUT WERE VERY COSTLY. After Buylnc TUcm TUrcc Tluira Sho Ke fuaed to KUlc Them Any More A Utile Story Hearing on the Question of tho Wlfc'a Property Klchta. Tho following story was told iu a pa per read by Mrs. M. J. Coggcshall at n meeting of tho Woman's Snffrago so ciety of Dos Moinas and published in Tho Saturday lloviow of that city: Today, when wo womou havo not out grown tho pretty fad of collecting sou venir spoons, tho great varioty and beauty of which wero unknown to our grandmothers, allow :no to recall tho story of a great aunt of ours who also loved spoons, but whoso plain enpboard drawer contained no sets of dainty after dinner coffees liko those from which wo lovo to sip as wo sit in our clubs and talk of culture. This aunt when a young woman was a teacher in a country school until sho bad saved enough money to iudulgo her great desire for a set of silver spoons. Sho was married soon after to tho young man of her choice. Six years passed by years of hard work and economy for both, happy years, though no children had come to bless their union when by a sudden illness tho husband was taken away. Tho day after tho funeral tho grieved wifo was surprised by tho en trance to her homo of tho two brothers of her husband, bringing with them tho village lawyer. They told her they had como to set a valuo upon thoir brother' property, in order that sho might know what part of it was hers. She held her peace as they set down the worth of each articlo of furniraro in the littlo home, nntil they finally camo to tho box of spoons. Then she spoke and said: "These are mine. I bought them with my own money before I was married." "Yes, ma'am," said tho lawyer, "but you know, ma'am, that after a la dy is married everything belongs in law to her husband." So all tho littlo property was divided, the brothers taking half, and shu took the spoons with the rest at tho price that had been set upon them. But it obliged her to give up tho home, and she, with her few effects, went into rented rooms on i N?gan life anew. Oc casionally teaching a school and always sewing when possible, she supported herself very comfortably for about threo years, when a lifelong friend of her hesband, an excellent man, offered her his hand in marriage. She liked him well, and her friends told her it was the best thing to do, and sbe thought with pleasure of again be ing mistress of a home. So they were married. In a few years her husband's health decline!, and for many months she gavo him most tender and unceasing care. Sho had a few times spoken to him about making a will, but a it seeined an unpleasant subject she bad ceased to mention it. Finally the end came. There had come to attend the funeral his nearest relative, a nephew from Xew England, whom she had never seen be fere. In a day or two he brought two men to the cottage to appraise the prop erty, and again was there a price set upon the well preserved spoons. On tho evening of that day as she was prepar ing supper the nephew entered the kitchen and said: "Aunt Liza, I am disposed to be very easy with yen. Tho worth cf all of uncle's property has been carefully estimated, and I will al low you to include in your half of it any article of furnituro you m: cheese." And again she paid the price of her first darling purchase of silverware, but there was no; enough left after tho half was taken for her to keep the hocso and lot, so they went into tho hands cf strangers, and with her cat Aunt Liza again went into cozy, but hired rooms. She was a pattern of thrift and tidiness. as a smart widower of the neighborhood was well aware, and in less than a year he made a call upon the comely matron. He was wise enough to rsako his first visit short, but lingered a moment in the door and suggested that in tho near future they become better acquainted. She answered, "I am living here verv comfortably, and I think, Mr. Johnson, that it will not be worth while for you to call, "and closing the door hastily sne turned to her cat and said: "No, Tommy, I bavo bought thoso spoons three times, and I den't intend to risk them any more. " Bought the ShJp That Ilrooht Him. An interestins anf-cdntn i tnlrl of the late Captain Theodore Julius. Some umo ago captain juuus went over to a hipyard in Camden to take a look at the old packetship Tonawanda, which was being converted into a coal barge. The captain took a particular interest in the old ship, because of his having terved as mate aboard her in the early cixtiea. While he stood watching tbo old vessel, a tall stranger approached him end asked, "Isn't your name Julius;" The captain replied in the affirmative. "You were a mate on that ship in tho rammer of 1863?" "Yes," said thocap tain. "You don't remember me," con tinued the stranger, "but I remember you very well. I was a steerage passen ger on tho Tonawanda at that time, bo lus on my way to this country. I'vo lx i p-etty prosperous, and I'vo just ban . the old ship and am going to m -t a ca-l Large of her. Strange, isn't it, tnat I shcicld come to own tho f-hip that brought me. practically penniless, to this country?" Philadelphia Htcord. A MUapprehentlon. "Oly think," exclaimed Feuderson, "of tho saany uses to which paper is cow put!" "I know, " replied Bass. "I was at tho theater tho other night, and I was told it was all paper, and it was a fine, substantial looking structuro too." Boitun Transcript.
