LEMONS.
A Slang Expression Leads to a
Serious Blunder.
By CLARISSA MACKIC
(Copyright. WW. by Amwli-ui lYeaa Asso
ciation.) Amy Winfiold reread the telegram
with a ptualed frown, and this second
perusal was lift enlightening:
Sending tmone by expresa tnday. Oomt
by: TfcU
Why should hor lover send an offer
log of tlila citrous fruit Aud why
should he say "Goodby," and where
wast lie fcolugf
Ail these questions Amy asked of
the emit,v air. aud the empty air wade
no response. She aqucvstnl the message
luto a tln.v bull aud tossed it Into the
waste paper basket Just ns her ycuujX
brother entered the library.
Short and thickset and snub nosed
and grubby was little Bert Winfleld.
but he fairly seethed with the desire t
Impart knowledge of every description,
and his fountain of wisdom was r
pctoally supplied from the varum
forms of literature that found their
source in the discarded books and
magar.lncs that he Oslied from the li
brary waste paper basket.
Amy looked up now with her pleas
ant smile. "Going anywhere near the
station today, Bert?"
"Nope." returned the seeker after
knowledge. '"1 may go tomorrow,
though. WhyT" He dropped on his
knees beside the table and groped in
the waste pnper basket.
"I'm expecting a bos or a crate or
something. 1 don't Just know what."
"AVbat's in ltr demanded Bert, with
a brother's privilege.
"Lemons. returned Amy.
"Lemons 7" repeated Bert. ,rWtmf
are you going to do with lemons?
Somebody been handing you a lemon?"
he asked, reverting to common slang.
"I don't know what you mean," re
plied his sister with dignity. "But
some ono has sent me a bos of lemons
ond''-
"It wss Teddy Newton." declared
Bert, sprending out the crumpled tele
gram on his knee. "Ain't be the
limit?"
"Say 1 ho not instead of 'ain't,"
corrected Amy. "and how do you know
Teddy s-nt them?"
"Is he not?" repeated Bert obedient
ly. "And I'm reading the telegram, and
'.-J, A
CALLED TBX DOO BY NAME.
that's how I know. Bay, he's fierce.
Amy, ain't he Is be not I mean?"
"I think it Is very thoughtful in Ted
to send down lemons," said Amy cold
ly, '"lie knows we are all fond of
lemonade."
"Ah-hl" snorted Bert scornfully.
"Don't you see any other meaning In
that message. Amy? Why. he's giving
you the shake don't you see?"
"Bert Winfleld. what do you mean?
1 shall tell father what you have said!"
cried Amy indignantly.
"Tell him." retorted Bert gloomily.
"What did you mean about the lem
ons, Bert?" Insisted his sister uneasily.
"I must explain about what 'handing
the lemod' means." returned Bert di
dactically. "It's a quiet way of telling
a feller you have no use for him. You
see. Teddy says he's sending lemons
by express that means he's shaking
you at once, right away In a hurry
and don't he say goodby? You're
slow."
Slowly Amy gathered the conviction
that her little brother was right. Her
doubting heart told her that Ted must
be tired of her. Tbey had quarreled a
little the last time he had called, aud
she had not heard from him since. lie
was tired of her. and this cool, con
temptuous way of dismissing their
beautiful romance turned all her ten
der love to bitterness.
The next day Bert returned from the
express office with, the cheerful an
nouncement that there were no lemons
awaiting his sister.
'Several days a week passed, and
no lemons arrived for Amy Winfleld.
and so the dread conviction that she
bad been Jilted came to be an estab
lished fact.
Then it was that Amy went around
looking very pnlo and wnn and. gath
ering one by one the treasures that
she bad cherished as gifts from her
lover, bundled them together and sent
them back to Teddy . Newton, with a
telegram as brief as bis own and pa
thetically Imitative:
Bending lemon by express. AMY.
About this time little Bert Winfleld
came Into poaweMNion of s dog. the
tnuid-hiiittNt lilt of fHiilne blood aud
Bosh Unit one might see- nit Irish bull,
purr white, with cllow spots and a
kindly, ugly fnew and protruding eyee
uf lalihrul brown.
"Isn't he Ihe dearest?" murmured
Amy, kneeling before the dog and sub
tnlniuit to the cm ream of his velvet
pluk tongue, "Where did .vou get htm,

Tmjuiore. lie's my birthday present.
I did wiiut a collie, you know. Amy,
hut I suppose Uncle Abe did the best
he could. I 'crimps this little feller
wit all he could afford." said Bert
kindly. "I heard hliu tell dad that the
lust panic put a crimp In his pocket
book." "A crimp?" repeated gentle Amy re
provingly. "What Is that, Bert more
slang, dear?".
"Vm huh!" returned Bert "What
shall 1 iinine the dog. Amy? I thought
some of calling til in Toddy. What do
you think?"
Teddy! WhyT gasped Miss Win
fleld Indignantly. "I forbid you to
name him rter Teddy Newtou!"
"All-h!" groaned Bert disgustedly.
"I meant after Teddy Roosevelt.
"Who'd want to name a dog after
Teddy Newton?"
"Perhaps he tins a name, dear." sug
gested Amy. "Have you tried calling
him by some names?"
"Sure! I've called him Fldo and
Llou aud Rex and Bruno and I'eto
and even Old log Tray, and he won't
come until he gets ready. He must
have a name of some kind. I'm going
to begin to call him Teddy-if you
don't mind too much, sis." he added
mngnnnltnmisly.
fall him anything you like, dear,"
said Amy sadly, aud something In her
tone roused Bert to Indignation.
"I won't call him Teddy after any
body, I guess, sis anybotly that will
send lemons to a girl and do I by tele
gram. Well down, sir; down, I say!
Look at him. sis!"
The dog cliniled playfully over his
little master, enromted him with paws
and tongue and loved him with soft
brown eye. "I'll call him Iup for
awhile." said Bert, and so the matter
was settled.
A week Inter Amy received another
disquieting telegram from her erst
while lover:
Why return l.monaT Thourht to rle
you. TK1.
To which Miss Winfleld gave much
thought, irnny bitter tears and the fol
lowing lucid reply:
Returnril my own lemons to you. Am
much plt-uni'd. AMY.
And In due time came the following
message:
Lemons not received to date. Chungs
your mind und keep. TED.
Its reply. "Decision Irrevocable;
goodby Amy." brought forth one more
telegram from Mr. Newton, and It be
spoke that gentleman's masterful dis
position: No declalon Irrevocable whers we are
concerned. Walt till I see you. TED.
"The Impertinence!" gasped Amy In
dlgnautly. "I shall not see him If he
comes! After Jilting me In that heart
less manner, to endeavor to Ignore the
matter and make It up never, never
never."
That same day Miss Winfleld re
celved an express package containing
the objects she hud mnlled to Mr.
Newton all the books and music and
the engagement ring und even the
love letters, which any man might
have lieen excused from retrieving
when the opportunity offered. But
Teddy was square In some things.
Amy grudgingly agreed, and so she
put the treasures away with a llttlo
degree of comfort, for these latter
weeks had been full of storm and
stress and very different from those
earlier, happier weeks of her engage
ment. Then one evening when the first
frost lay tiparkling on the garden Amy.
wrapped In shawls, stood nt the gate
entranced with tho witchery of the
moonlight. She was there when Mr.
Ttddy Newton strode up to the gate
aud lu his masterful way took her In
his urms and kissed away her pro
tests. "What is tho matter with you, dear
est? You've had me half crasy. I
Just stole the time to run down and
try to square our mlsuiiderstuuding.
Surely you don't burbor anger over
that little quarrel"
"Whut made you hand me the lem
ons?" sobbed Amy lu his bosom, while
Mr. Newtou cast his eyes aloft in
amazement.
"Hand you the lemons? Explain.
Tell me all about it. There is some
mistake," ho soothed her. And' so she
told the story of the telegrams and
the elucidation of that wiseacre, Bert
and when she had concluded Mr. New
ton burst Into such a roar of luughter
that once more his sweetheart was In
dignant. "I't nio expiuln there. After our
quarrel I wanted to send n peace offer
ing, and so I bought you the best dog
I could find Lemons by name, if you
please. Sent him down by express
and by a series of accidents huvo dis
covered that he went nstruy tug gone
from crate and fetched up at Tray

sented htm to Bert the little rascal!
He'll lose the' pup. Amy, for he la
yours. I.ildn't you get the letter I sent
before the first telegram?"
"Never." said Amy.
"It's elided all right, anyway," com
mented Mr. Newton philosophically.
"Just t'i prove that his name Is Lem
ons" fie whisl led sharply and called
the dog by name.
There was n scurrying of little feet
on the gravel path, and the bull pup
flashed upon them and Into their mu
tual embrace.
MILLIONS OF VOTES
FOR PRESIDENT
That more than 15 million persons In
the United States will record their
votes for President In the campaign of
the present year Is evident from the
olTlclsl statist lo of presidential vote
published In the Statistical Abstract
of the United States, which has 'just
been Issued bv the Bureau of Statistics.

Prior to 1KXM no governments! official
record of the votes cast for I'resident
existed, but an Art passed by Congress
on Fobrusry S, 1887. made It the
duty of the Executive of each State to
report to the Secretary of State the
names of the electors and the number
of votes given or east for each person
voted for, and these reports, made lo
the Secrctsry of State in 1HHS and In
esch subsequent Dresidentisl election,
form tho bssis of the official record of
presidential elections In the United
States. This record, which has been
published for several vosrs in the Sta
tistical Abstract of the United States,
suggests that the total number of
votes in the presidential election
of this year will for the first time ex
ceed 15 millions. The total number In
190S was 14,887.000: in 19. 13.W5.000:
in IHMI. 2.044,000, and 1K88. ll.3Sl.000.
Dividing the vote thus officially re
corded Into the population named by
official counts or estimates for the
years in question, this shows the aver
age population for each vote esst, ai
follows : In I'JOH, 6.9H persons for each
vote csst; in BM)4, 6.10; in l!KH), 6.44:
In 181W, 2.64: snd in 1HK8. 5.27. The
statements published in the Abstrset,
show the vote was in esch Stats for
the various candidates In each presi
dential election from 1K88 to l'J08, and
the electoral vote by principal political
parties, Stste ;by Stste, during the
ssme period.
The above statement, ihowl.-.g the
official record of presidential elections
during the last qusrter of a century, il-
lustrstes the vsriety of Interesting and
ollklal Information (presented by the
Statistical Abstrsct issued annually by

Klamath Kails Northwestern: The
new mining town of High tirade is at

Word comes from High Grade that
Its possibilities of rivaling the famous
gold excitement of (Joldfleld are very
bright. It la stated that although the
snow Is severs) feet deep where the
town Is now located soveral hundred
people are camped there and new pros
pectors and people drawn by the lure of
gold are arriving wvery day. Sunday
or Monday a sfieclal train Is exoerted
from Denver with 200 mining men
who are said tn Intend to buy up all
the property possible If the projects

New Pine Creek, sis miles from the
gold find, I said to contain several
thousand people where no more than
to work three months ago there were
but three or four hundred souls. t
Kxcitement Is intense all through
that part of the country and a stam
pede la being made by city folks' and
farmers from all over Lake county and
as soon as the snow has disspsred

the territory around the new find will
be taken fur miles In every direction.

mentions a party of five that are al
ready on their way to the now famous
camp, while from Oakland, San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and Denver large
parties are preparing for the rush just
as soon as the snow will permit of pros
pecting. There Is lots of rotsn for all.
The district Is six and a half miles by
three miles snd rich prospects are found
in every pert. And msny expert min
