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.

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

"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."
