William Kenrlck, a Berkshire gen tleman of 100 years ago, left his prop erty, which was considerable, to an only daughter. This young lady had a mind of her own and, fludlng none of her suitors to her liking, simply deter mined to wait until the right gentle man should come along. , It so happened that one day she at tended a wedding at Reading, where she met a young gentleman named Benjamin Child. Be was a poor at torney. With this handsome young man the young lady fell violently in lore, but still she was cautious. She reasoned with herself for several days, trying to shake herself free of the sud den passion, but all In rain. Then, feeling that something must be done; hut unable from confusion of mind to devise a proper course, she took the extraordinary step of sending the young man a letter demanding sat isfaction for alleged Injuries. She ap pointed a time and place for the hostile meeting. Mr. Child was much surprised and quite at a loss to conceive who the challenger could be. By the advice of a friend be decided to go to the duel ing place. Here he was met by the young woman, who, much to his sur prise, told him he would have to fight her or marry her. lie naturally chose the latter, and, as the saying goes, they lived happily ever afterward. WHEN MEN GROW OLD. On Sura Sign Is Said to Be an In creasing Waistline. When does a man get old 7 What are the signs? Some will say Instantly gray hair, baldness, stiff knees, short ness of breath, and so on. An eastern authority rejects all of these as proofs of age and cites doctors to prove that there are two invariable signs an In creasing waist line and a decrease of physical agility. These Indications may not show themselves until a man Is forty or fifty, but they may manifest themselves at twenty-live. Whatever the time, the man is old. This is rather nn arbitrary ruling, but It has a sane basis no doubt. There are many men, of course; who by force of nature rather than any care of their own, retain a sparcuess of figure until they are far nlong In life, and usually with this slimncss Is activity of move ment. But the average man not en gaged in active physical labor that keeps superfluous flesh down Is ex tremely likely to develop increased girth In comparatively early years, and. whether or not it classes him among the old or even elderly, II docs take hlra out of the realm of youth. However youthful a man may feel, 110 one longer mistakes him for n boy when that big waist line comes. Indianapolis Star. Fama and Shyness. In his book, "A Soldier's Memories.'' Sir George Younghusliand tells a typi cal story of Itudyurd Kipling and Cecil Rhodes. It was during the Boer war, when they cam to camp and Introduced themselves unconventionally. As they were leaving the soldiers gathered to see mid cheer them. Sold Cecil Rhodes hastily: "Take off your cap; they are cheer ing you." Said Rudyard Kipling: "No, they are not. They are cheering you. Take off your cap." Then some one at their elbow sug gested: "I think they are cheering you both." Whereupon both, clinging close to gether for support, shyly took off their caps. The Handy Man. The "Jack of all trades," known fa miliarly as the handy nun, Is a seri ous drawback to the Industries of the United States, because his knowledge and training nrc not based on the funda mental rules of any craft. Such men arc the bane of any industry, and more especially of high grade machine shops, for their work cannot be relied upon. Doubtless It Is n good thing to know something about everything, but the perfect mechanic ami high grade fore man Is the man who knows everything about KOrafthltiir - .

Known In Nearly All Lands, It Hat Famous Family Tree. The name John is one of onr best also one of our oldest It U found in nearly all languages, and no matter how disguised, from Juan to Johannes, It is almost certain to be identified. Tbo Johns hare a magnificent family tree. There was on apostle named John and also a John the Baptist Thero have been twenty-two popes and one anti-pope by the name of John. Three kings of Aragon and Castile, one at least of Bohemia and several of Portu gal, France and England have borne the name of John. There was John SobleskL the "great est of the Toles." There wai John, stir named Lackland, who was forced to sign the Magna Charta. There was John the Good. Ilunnlng down the fa mous list, we find also John the Fortu nate, John the Perfect, John the Fear less, John the Constant. Then there was Jack of the Bean Stalk, also Little John, who was not little, but who, on the contrary, was tall and strong, and who was one of the most Impudent followers of Robin Hood. If old King John gave England the Magna Charta John Hancock helped to give us our Declaration of Independ ence, if the historical and symbolical Johns seem too numerous we might add John Rockefeller and John Doe.

George W. dross, Administrator. Weather and th Spitler'e Web. One of the simplest of nature'! ba rometers Is a spider's web. When there is a prospect of wind or rain the spider shortens the filaments by which Its web Is sustained and leaves it In this state as long as the weather Is vari able. If it elongates Its threads it Is a sign of fine, calm weather, the dura tion of which may be judged by the length to which the threads are let out If the spider remains Inactive it la a sign of rain; If It keeps at work dur ing rain the downpour will not last long and will be followed by fine weather. Observation has taught that the spider makes changes In Its web every twenty-four hours and that If such changes arc made In the evening Just before sunset the ulght will be clear and beautiful. "Mamma," said a five-year-old bo the other day, "aren't there any other senses 'cept hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting and smelling?" "No, my child," answered the mother.

"I s'pose talking would be called a sense If there wasn't so much nonsense about It" The Churches. At the Baptist Church. The social event last Thursday even ing was a grand success, Rev. E. It.
