Claim of Contestants.
The waterworks contention in Jo

tion, as set forLh by accredited
3abemeato from both the CH7 and

t follows: The Joseph Waterworks
i a -.y has for some years operate(
municipal Plant at Joseph
ough a fronchlso Issued some
years ago. The F, D. McCully com
pany claim this franchise to be per
petual. '
The city of Joseph offers the
counterant claim that the franchise
under which the McCully company
hag. operated, Is not perpetual, but
that Its life of flfteea years is under
stood, and that this life has now ex
pired. The city further declares the
desire tto operate Its o(wn, water
works plant, and has voted a bond
Issue of $30,000 to that end.
The Immediate cause precipitating
the present crisis Is the pursuit) of
the McCully company la its opera
tion, Involving the relaying of cer
tain mains. Declaring this compan)

An elderly darky Id Georgia was
charged with the theft of some chick
ens. The negro bad the misfortune to
be defended by a young and Inexpe
"tenced attorney, although It is doubt
ful whetbor any one could have se
cured bis acquittal, the commission of
the crime baring been proved beyond
ail doubt :
The darky received pretty severe
sentence. "Thank you, sah," said be
cheerfully, addressing the Judge when
the sentence had beeu announced
"Dat's mighty bard, sah, but it ain't
anywhere near what I 'spected. 1
thought, sah, dat between ray charac
ter and dat speech of mab lawyer dat
you'd hang me shore!" '
A Consolation. ' .'
A young woman who was in the
habit of visiting lu a New England vil
lage encountered a rural neighbor in n
city store.
"How's your wife, Mr. Green?" in
quired the young womun graciously.
"Why, don't you kuow." suld Mr
Green, "1 lost her three months ago?"
"Ob." said the shocked young wo--nan,
"1 didn't know! I beg your par
ion. Mr. Gren. for my inquiry." ,
Well." mild the disconsolate wld
ower soutblugly. "it alu't as bad as li
might bare been. I've got good help "
Exchange. .
THE KISS.
Continued from pace three
briefest, but from that day to this the
dream of a young girl has been with
me. I have not seen blm for years. 1
may never see him again. It was the
part of a girl just coming to woman
hood so suddenly and uninvited to sur
render to a mun; but, having done so,
I have never since been able to break
the bonds that have held me to blm.
I will not deceive you. It would be
dishonorable In me to marry you with
this dream still In my heart"
"Your keen sense of honor only
makes me more desirous of possessing
you. I have heard of cases where a
young girl has given her heart In that
way, and there are such cases among
men. I, too, once met a girl of whom
I dreamed till I met you. Now that
dream has vanished before mature
love." :
"That Is the difference between the
loves of the sexes," she replied, smil
ing. "A woman's love Is more endur
ing.". "These heart flushes of youth, I ad
mit, are refreshing. Would you mind
telling me about this young lover who
caught your young fancy so suddenly
and has held It so long?"
"When I was very young," she said,
"we lived In a bouse close beside the
ramparts. One day while I was sitting
by a window a young man I bad never
seen before tapped upon the pane. I
raised the sash and listened to what
be said. Pointing to two young men
on the ramparts, be told me that they
would furnish blm with the weans to
enable blm to make a mark in the
world if I would give hint a kiss,"
She paused a moment,, then contin
ued: "I shall never forget that young and
enthusiastic face, full of eagerness; the
Intellectual cast of bead, the"
'Tom hare forgotten!" exclaimed the
general, starting up. "It is I who
have been true to my dream. Yours
has passed Into mockery. It is the
man who Is true, the woman who wor
ships a fancy that has faded."
"You are"
"The man you kissed. Thank heav
en, who bus guided me to yon, to
thank you for that favor. To it, to
you, is due all that I am today. With
out it I should have remained here,
thankful for an occasional crumb drop
ped by some patronising noble. By it
I have received the confidence of a
king.".
He was standing when he said this,
and she, too, arose, peering into bis
face o if to recall an image she had
long held in memory.
"Yes," she said presently. "It la the
bead, but the features are ranch
changed. . I did not recognise in the
ftinn of today the youth of yesterday.
But I, too, have changed. After all
your boasted constancy you bare not
recognised me."
The next day it wai announced that
General Tonl Vendelbo Lorenorn was
to marry Ingcborg Vlndlng, and the
wedding ceremonies were graced by
the presence of the king and queen.
'i Society at the capital from that day
welcomed the wife of the distinguished
general The story is often repeated
In Denmark, though different versions
of it are given. But In the matter of
Poul Loveaorn get tins: the klsa and
attaining by It his marked success all
versions agree.
