It takes a lot of space for the aewsjmjiers to tell the people notning nag nappenea in jcihwiui. Times must be pretty hard with gome people when they can't afford ( to subscribe for their home paper. The citizens of Lebanon didn't know how to appreciate the electric lights until they bad to do witiiout them for a couple of nights. A London hop factor says: "I think Oregon hops will beat the world." This is certainly encourag ing, coming from one of the world's leading hop buyers. Ban Bernardino (Cal.) papers pro s' pose to publish lists of dead-beats, ena - tabling the names of all persons who subscribe for or advertise in - their i papers, but never pay. The cBances for "Lilioukaleve laml" being reinstated on her throne, do not seem quite so much injberjavor as before the latest dis pateliesVrom Hawaii were received. Another newspaper is to be start eti Independence. It will be call ed jtflic Enterprise, to be run by F. G. Kertson, formerly of the Med ,food Mail, and J. B. Murin, of the Kafrisliurg Courier. Mason and B. P. Watson, convicted of criminal libel, have iieeu sentenced to one year each In lite penitentiary. These were the Mercury editors. Men who will poison the tuiud in the manner they haw done for years cer tamlr deserve to be made an example of. . The police authorites in Pitts burg have declared against football under the present rules, and say that in future no such brutal and degrading exhibitions will be per- rWtied there. It is also stated that the authorities in other cities will take similar action. This will be quitf a wit-hack to the growing popularity of this game. Work on The ld. Having an extremely iiidustrinus disposition, and desirous.of being kept busy all the time, I will use my spare moments from the watch bench in re tiring sewing machines, and I assure you I can repair any make of machine as well as can be done anywhere In the state, and at reasonable prices.

"Dors er gen'man in de hall, Marse Jack, an-er he say he wants ter see yer," said Uncle Neil, as he approached Mr. Lund, who was enjoying bis mid day meal. " "Well, what does he want, Ned?" "I dunuo, sab. Here's a keard he gi' me; an' he Is jes as perlite as er nig ger at er barbaku. He parts his ha'r in der middle, an' his moustache sticks sut like er horned owl. Oolly! but he's flxt up fit ter kill. He got nn a King Albert coat an' bis hat is sho' silk, Hishandslsaswhlteas'er " "Let me see the card," demanded Mr. Lund, cutting short Uncle Ned's description of the gentleman. " 'Aaron Humphrey, tutor, professor of lan guages, muslo and etiquette.' Well, pretty well posted, but we wanted a lady teacher for our girls. Show the gentleman into the parlor and tell him that I will see him presently. I would not think ot placing the girls under the care of a gentleman," continued Mr. Lund. "I cau't quite agree with you, Brother," said Mrs. Young. "If he Is a true gentleman the girls would soon become acquainted and would feel as easy In the presence of a gentleman as they would in the presence of a lady, and more, as a rule. Ladies add great ly to one's household duties, while gentlemen are comparatively no trouble; and again, you must remem ber that you did not specify a prefer ence for ladies in your advertisement and It would not be right to let the gentleman gn without considering his application." "You are right about that, my Bister, as you are In all things, and If he proves to be competent and can furnish satisfactory references, I can't see how I can get around employing him; and I hope that the omission In my adver tisement will prove to be a fortunate blunder." As Mr. Lund entered the parlor, a medium-sized, bandsome man, with deep blue eyes and a complexion that most any woman would envy, arose and bowed respectfully. "You are Mr. Humphrey?" inquired Mr. Lund. "At your service, sir," answered the gentleman, in u deep, mellow voice, and in a manner whieh showed that he was at perfect ease. "I came In an swer to your advertisement." "You have taught before?" "I have been a teacher for more than eight years," answered Mr. Hum phrey, with a smile, self-satisfied in its nature. 'Yoo arc well posted, I presume?" inquired Mr. Lund, somewhat doubt fully, as the stranger did not seem more than twenty-two years old, and Mr. Lund had mentally subtracted 8 from 22, thus placing the applicant at the tender age of 14, when he coo meneed teaching. "In several branches, I am, sir. In English literature, French, geom etry, astronomy, and vucal and instru mental music." You seen, to be quite young, sir, to have mastered all these studies and have been teaching the same for the past eight years. May I ask how old you were when you commenced leach ing?" "I commenced teaching in just one month after I bad gaiued my majority. I am now twenty-nine years old. I see," continued Mr. Humphrey, "that you doubt my ability on account of my youthful apjiearance. I will," hesald, "state for your information that from childhood I have been confined in doors, and greatly, too, against my own Inclinations; but tate so decreed and I was compelled to submit. While," continued be, "my calling Ib a high aud honorable one, it is neither a lucrative nor a pleasant one. I tell you, sir, the truth, when I say that I have never seen the beauties of nature except from a car window, My mother was born and reared on a farm, and my great desire for a country life was doubtless Inherited, aud it was this desire that prompted me to answer your advertisement in person. I pray, Mr. Lund, that you consider my appli cation. I am able to furnish the . best of references, and I think I can give you satisfaction, sir." Mr. Lund was, by this time, favora bly Impressed. The gentleman's affable manner, his open, honest aud frank countenance had completely won Mr. Lund over, and be has never, until this day, had cause to regret his answer to the gentleman's earliest en treaties. He said, "I do not ask you for references. I am perfectly satUfled as to your ability, and as to your hon esty and integrity, excuse me it Is plainly written on your countenance, As to terms, we will talk that over lateh Yon can consider yourself ei. gaged. As It la our custom," said he, li. teed the 'stranger within our gates,' dinner has been ; prepared for you. Com.? uow, and I will Introduce you to my sisier wlm Is also my housekeeper aud yoor pupils. Next I will Intro duce you to a mid-day country meal, which we call dinner." "Well, don' dat beat yer?" solilo quised Uncle Ned, who had stood all the time near the open door, hat In hand. "Dat man looks like er Juok-er-dlmuus, but he's alio' made outer de right kind uv stuff." , We will now leave little Emma Luud aud Edna Latimer lu the care of the competent and trustworthy Jpro fessor, Aaron Humphrey, where they remained for a period of six years, or until Cupid usurped the place between the accomplishments they had attained and further advancement.
