A VILLAGE ROMANCE.
How m Father Obstinacy XT mm Over
me by a Simple Shepherd Couple.
Paris Morning News.
A little shepherd of the forests of Pal
eca loved a young girl of Santo-Pietro,
the cool mountain village where the
fashionable ladle of Ajaccio go to spend
the summer. The young girl also loved
the youth. At the first word of mar-riage-ttre
father of the young girl flew
into a terrible passion, so terrible that
for several days after the flocks of P;U
neoa did not dare to wander near the
hillsides of Santo-Pietro. But on the
fifth day the young girl fell ill, and at
last the father relented.
"We will see about that," ho said,
"after he has drawn his conscript's num
ber and has served his time. 1 do not
want you to have a husband who will be
compelled to leave you as soou as you
are married.
How came it that in this country,
where there is no telegraph, the shepherd
in an hour afterward knew what had
been saidt The fact is that on entering
the village he had only one idea upper
most in his head escape from his term
of military service.
The next day, while cutting wood in
the forest, he, as if by accident, gave his
right hand a smart blow with his hatchet
and fevered three fingers. Now let the
military examination take place! He
went home and tended his hurt as well
as be was able: and when the wound j
was healed, and he had been rightly and
duly exempted, he went to Santo-Pietro
and bravely repeated his offer.
"I am not going to serve in the army."
he said, "for 1 am sure they never will
take me. You can marry us now."
But the father stopped him by a word.
"Never," he cried, "will I give my
daughter to oue who is maimed."
And it was apparent by his tone of
voice that he meant what he hail said.
In spite of his daughter's illness, he re
mained inexorable. It was- clear that
this old man did not like a maimed son-in-law.
lie made but one reply to the
prayers and tears of this young girl.
"Never, you thoroughly understand,
never! And don't let him come hanging
around here any more. Cripples ought
to marry cripples. Let him marry the
little blind girl of Palneca, or the hunch
back of Sant' "Andrea."
The young girl did not reply, and not
once during her illness did she speak of
her shepherd. When she was convales
cent she was seized with a longing for
the forest and the open air, and every
day took long walks by the hillside of
PaJneoa by the road that her flocks
knew so welL One morning, after a long
search, she again came across the little
fchepherd, pale and haggard, like a shep
herd tired of the world.
"Show me your wounded hand," she
said.
He showed it to her bashfully, and
piously she pressed it to her lips.
Show me," she said to luin again,
"the hatchet which wounded you." He
took it and showed it to her. Then,
raising it and placing her hand on a
etone:
"This is how vou did it, isn't it? This
is how the accident happened?"
And before the shepherd was able to
reply the hatchet had fallen, the stone
waa reddened, and beside it lay the three
fingers of the pretty maid of Santo-Pietro.
"Now, shepherd," she said, "show me
haw you healed your wound."
And together they returned to Santro
Pietro, he with tears in his eyes and she
radiant. What could the father do?
i Had ho not imprudently saitf'thit crip-
pies ought to marry cripples? He cursed
them and married thorn. The wedding
was celebrated two months ago.

The proprietors of a French shoe store
are publishing in continental newspapers
an ingenious advertisement bused on the
public interest in duels and dyuamite ex
plosions. Capt. Cracson and Engineer
itetrokins were to fight a duel, and the
Latter, having the choice of arms, de
cided on a dynamite combat. At the
appointed time the combatants arrived,
each having five cartridges. The sec
onds mounted on the highest trees, and
the duel began. The first two cartridges
produced no effect, but the third re
sulted in a fearful explosion. he sec
onds dropped from their tree tops to
find that Crakson had been torn to
pieces, and that Metrokins had disap
peared from view. Nothing but the
Loots remained. These, on examination,
were found to have come from the well
known shop of Y. & Co.

HOW TO GET MONEY
Oat of the roeket or Thowe Who
Have It loKiMnd.
Professor David Swing.
All this in a vorld where tliero are
tasks to be done of all sizes and quali
ties from the tending of flocks in the
field to the making of a garden out of
the Sahara. It is will-power and faith
the most need. A common Oernian
barber said recently: "I have
never been a day without work
in fifteen years; have always
had good wages; have now my
home and live well and happy. I never
wish to change my business; I too it
for life." Thus speaks many a carpen
ter and blacksmith. Machines affect
their tasks but not their skill. More
wood-work and iron-work are done
than formerly. The bold farmer faces
uncertainty as the general or captain
faces it. The battle may be lost, but it
may be won. "God is on the side of the
strongest battalions," and it is often
will-power that creates the greatest
strength.
The presence in the world of great
capitalists need not discourage the
poor man, for it is a poor nation alone
that should offer any alarm. The fact
that the wealthy surround each poor
young man should be to him as though
there was a mine of gold under foot,
because that money is gathered to be
spent. ' The youth sees a group of citi
zens who have money to spend. How
honorably to get some of that accumu
lated gold is the simple inquiry. It is
perfectly certain that wood-work and
iron -work and fabrics in wool and silk
or in precious stones or of clay or brass
or marble will. open these full pock
ets. All the people with mouej will
always give it for meat or bread or Turuit
or for inventions or luxuries. One man
attacks these pocket-books with
"building blocks" for the children,
another comes along with a music box
and with the tune ou a strip of paper,
another comes with books, with Christ
mas and Valentine and Easter
cards, a little girl makes bunches
of paper roses, some other hands
are painting china, other are
making door-mats or baskets, while
elsewhere an Edison or a (J ray is touch
ing the gold heap with the telephone
and electric light.
Thus the wealth of a community lies
open to the attacks from boy or girl,
white man or negro. The money of
the rich is all to be spent. A bright,
colored man of Alabama, bought a few
years ago a lot of silk-worm eggs. He
and his wife begin in a small way to
work up a trade in raw silk. Now he
employs a whole neighborhood in his
hhops ami the publishers of an illus
trated wtvnlv Lure sent tlieir artist to
make drawings of th?s luteif stu. silk
trade at Huutwille. The energy or the
little African family has at last found
the edge of the general cold heap.
An Indiana roan had by accident read
an article on the culture of the cran
berry. Soon afterward he happened
to see sune gronu 1 that met the condi
tions of that chapter he had read. He
secured the land at about $10 an acre
and in about four years he found his
profits to be about S:J00 au acre, and
the same bushes or vines will bear fruit
for twenty years. This story is repeated
often by the strawberry-man and by
the wheat-man and the stock-rnau, but
it never occurs in the life of any one
who is afraid to touch the earth at any
point. Heroes in war are no more
needed than heroes in peace.
Muliltinc On the City Dump.
I Indianapolis News.)
Down near the mouth of Kentucky
avenue, on the river bank, is the city
dumping ground. A low marsh has
been gradually filled up with trash
and refuse matter until several acres
are covered with a glittering heap of
tin cans, broken crockery, glass, brush,
hoops (barrels and other sort), and de
caying vegetables and animal matter.
Nothing goes there except what is no
longer worth storing away in old bar
rels, or has become an ugly spot on the
landscape of the back yard. Yet from
this pile of thrice picked over rubbish
several families rake out their entire
living. Upon this rubbish made
earth there are three families of
squatters. Each has built a small
house of rough boards. Stoves were
rigged out from the sheet-tin and iron
and other metal 6craped from the
"dump ;" the roofs are made of the tin
gathered from the daily deposits, and
the "bank" has otherwise been heavily
drawn upon.
Living upon the pnblic domain, of
course they jay uo rent, no taxes, nor,
seemingly, for anything they subsist
upon. About meal time (the squatter
is orthodox about meal hours) you will
see some of the numerous children of
this citizen (?) digging iuto the recently
deposited dumps. Grocers' wagons
have been there with wagon-loads of
frozen potatoes or beets or cabbage;
with a barrel of spoiled bread and
canned corn or tomatoes or oysters.
Little care the squatters if the potatoes
are soggy and the corn tainted. They
are cheap, and right at the door. Close
by, also, is the river, its abundance of
water, made nutritious by the deposits
from the pork-houses. For fuel there
is no want. Boards and barrels from
the dump, and the new fence around
the cemetery grounds feed the fires
during the winter days. Besides find
ing food these gentry turn an honest
penny by melting the lead and solder
from the tin in the dumps and collect
ing the scraps of iron and rags that may
have run the gauntlet of the city
"picks." Much more pains and time
are thus consumed in eking out a pre
carious existence than would be re
quisite for acquiring a competence in
some trade or dailv labor.

' Olav-F.atera In the South.
Bey"111' the Lines.)
In some (sections of the southern
states, as in certain other parts of the
world, a peculiar buttery kind of clay
abounds, which the lower classes of
whites learn to eat, and the eating be
comes a confinred habit. Capt. Geer,
of Ohio, givtjs a graphic description of
the "clay-outers," as he saw them while
a prisoner in Macon, Ga., during the
war: Or e morning as I stood gazing
at the guards about our prison, 1 was
forcibly struck with their appearance.
Thev were a new set of men, who had

ing been sent to Kichniond. They were
all tall and ungainly, and in speaking
always s dd "har," "sar," "whar" and
"dar" Their favorite exclamations were
"tamed Jerusalem," and "I golly." As
I uas thus surveying these men i heard
one of them sty, "Tom. what d'you
alius go to old Sanders' mill for ? W hy
don't you g to Mike Adams' mill?''
"Why," w.i-i the reply, "don't you know
there's a great deal better clay up at
old Sanders' than there is at Mike
Adams'?" As we were at this time
under the i harge of Capt. Collins, who
was more indulgent than any of our
previous keepers, we were allowed t
converse w.th the guards. I resolved
to settle this matter of clay-eating; so
I asked one of the fellows to whom I
have just referred, what his comrade
wanted with the clay he got at the mill.
"Why!" he shouted "don't you know
nothing? Ue wanted it to eat!" It
would be impossible to describe the
personal appearance of these wretched
t lay-eaters better than by the remark
of an Ohio lady, made on seeing them
in all their glory ia lieorgia. Said she,
"They do not look like fiesh dead men,
but men who have been dead some
