(From IUc Covinjton, A";/., Post.)
Thrt Hon. Jo'ui M. Uloe, of Louisa, Lawroil
jo County, K mtujkv, has for tho p ist
two years ret I r oil from active lifo its CritnI
inilnnl Circuit Ju lgo of tho Sixteonth Ju|

was n noted figure In polltijal an I
Ju lioinl circles. Tho Judge is woll known
throughout tho state nu I po<s.i3sos tho host
qualities which go to make a Kontusky gentlonmn
honored wherever ho is known.
About six years ago tho bo.lily troubles
which llunlly cause I his retirement nt a time
when his m "nt.nl faculties wore in the zenith
of their strength, began their oncro lohmant
upon his naturally strong const it ill ion. A
few days ago a Kentucky Po*' reporter
called upon Judge Kicc, who In tho following
words related tho history of the causes
tlint led to his retirement "It Is just about
six years sineo I hat an attack of rheumatism,
slight nt tlrst, hut soon developing into
Sciatic rheumatism, which began tlrst witli
acute shooting pains in tho hips, gradually
extending downward to my feet.
"My condition became so bad that I eventually
lost all power of my legs, an 1 then tho
liver, kidneys and bladder and, in fact, my
whole system became deranged. Ilried tho
treatment of many physicians, but rccolving
no lasting benetlt from them, I had recourse
to patent remedies, trying one kind after another
until I believe there were nono I had
not sampled.
"In 1H88. attended tiv mv Hon .Tolin 1 m?nl
to Hot Spring**, \rk. I was not much benefited
by some months' stay thero when I returned
homo. My liver was actually
and a dull, | ersistent pain in its region kept
nie on the rack all the time. In 1890 I was
reappointed Circuit Judge, but it was imnr??sitilo
for mo to give attention to my duties.
In 1891 I went to the Silurian Springs, Wakesbaw,
Wis. 1 stayed there some time but
without improvement.
"A^ain I returned home, this time fooling
no hopes of recovery. The muscles of my
limbs were now reduced by atrophy to inoro
string?. Sciatic pains tortured mo terribly,
but it was the disordered condition of my
liver thnt was, I felt, gradually wearing ray
life away. Doctors gave mo tip, all kinds of
remedies had been tried without avail, and
there was nothing more for me to do but resign
myself to fate.
"I lingered on in this condition sustained
almost entirely by stimulants until April,
1893. One day John saw an account of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pill* for Palo People tn the
Kentucto J'ost. This was something new.
and as one after so many others
"mild not do so much lint-ill. mSfSP'prevailed
upon mo to try tlio Pink Pills. It whs, I
think, in the Itrst week in May the pills arrived.
I remember was not expected to
live for morn than tlirt four days at the
tiino. The elTeet of th * rover, was
marvelous, and I eouli jartily, a
thing I had not done f fho liver
began almost instantaneously to perform Its
functions, and lias done so ever since.
Without doubt, the pills saved my life, and,
while I do not crave notoriety, 1 cannot refuse
to testify to their worth."
The reporter called upon Mr. Hughes, the
I.ouisa druggist, who iuformod him that Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have been \ory popular
since Judge Itico used them with such benellt.
He mentioned several who have found
relief in their use.

trip ended.
_?T~snrTiiWv often noticed i?.
fnrm-honse. This morning I saw a
young girl come out of the green side
door with a basket of clothes.
"Hard pull that for a young one," (
nays 1 to myself, and took another
look at her.
She had on aouie kind of a blue
froek, with the sleeves rolled up, aud
her hair was brown, shining gold like
in the sun as she bent to the basket
now on the ground, aud drew out a
sheet and began to ]?ut it on the liue.
Well, p'raps you wouldn't believe it,
sir, but I kept, thinking about the girl
nil dny, and when I inn do my return
trip 1 stared with nil roy might at the
clothes hanging there.
But they just ltappod back, kind ol
disdainful, and I didn't cntch aglinipso
of what 1 wanted to see.
I was making then a round trip and
a half a day, so I stayed every other
night in Chewboro, the town next that
where my girl in blue lived. i
Well, that being my Chewboro evening,
I walked six miles and hock to
pass the old gray farmhouse.
I saw her, too, for, as I was sittU)? '.
on the stone wall opposite the house,
resting and speculating as to yho she
~"\vas,~ T*lut?window uud
looked out at the moon.
All the next day I kept thinking
how pretty she looked with her arinc
raised to hang the sheet, and how the
light glistened 011 her hair, an I hov
eho had leaned forward to look up at
the moon, and that night?that was
my Boston night?I spent in retelling
her from the coils of a boa constrictor.
only to llnd her tlio next minute in
danger of being crushed by a freight
cur. The heroic acts I performed that
night would make n volume.
The next day, on my socoud trip, I
thought 1 caught a glimpse of that
blue gown dying around the corner.
Says I to mysolf:
"This thing must stop, Sam, or you'll
tie getting into trouble some day.
You'll be forgetting to slow up over
that trestle, aud thero'll bo big head*
lines in the paper, 'Owing to the carelessness
of the engineer n sooro of

"No," says f, "this won't do. Kithor
the girl's worth fretting about or slu
ain't aud the best thing for you to do,
Saiu, is to 11 ud out which right oft. "
So that evening at supper 1 oponod
kinder gently with the landlady.
"Good farming country round
here." savs 1. You goo. I hadn't boon
on that branch very long, mo the roninrk
seemed natural enough.
"I'm," say* Mrn. (Irubb, hard at
work on a piece of beefst-oak to sot a
good example to the boarders.
"1 notice some line treoa along by
Chewboro," Hays J, mentioning tho
town where my hluw girl lived.
"Hm," from tho landlady, again
hard at work.
"There's one especially handsome
ono in front of an old house beyond the
trestle, on tho right; over noticed it?"
bays I nH enroloHs as 1 could, hut waiting
quite broatUlcsrt for her answer.

"O, yOH," Hft JS I, qtlltO CrtlolCHR,
"Seems to mo I've seen i\ littlo girl

"I<ittlo girl," shouted Mr?. (iruiilt,
forgetting lior beefsteak in her eagerness,
"she's seventeen if h1io'k a day,
nun a good lull girl for hor ngc, itnii

tell you."
At which for Homo unknown reason
I felt much pleased.
"And slio's all-rtrod pretty," added
Jim Stokes, the engineer on 111), nt
which I felt an equally strango and
sudden desire to kick him.
i |iim on my owior huh nnti n new

to do uoinntliing more thftn sit
on the stono well thfit ovoning.
There wan a light in tho sitting room
when 1 cuiiiO in Might of tho house, and
I pluokod up courugo nnd kuoakod at
tho door.
I don't mind telling you that while
I w?h waiting for somebody to oome I
felt kind of weak about tho kuoea and

>
f
when the doc* uuonea end thoro stood I
Mollpr holding tlio lamp up high end 1
looking out into the darkness, with
her oheoks as prettj as a pouch, well
then I was clean gouc.
I managed to stsmmor ont tho
speech I'd made about being out walk
ing and oeing tired, and might I rent
and hare a drink of water. Ooodneai
knows I needed both, for I was Uat
shakj I was fit to drop.
Molly toid me to walk in, and
cnlle-T her grandfather. I told him
who I was, Sam Thorpe, engineer on
47, the best engine on tho road. too.
?ir?and he made me weleomo and
:rented me hearty.
This in my wife," says ho, "and
[bin in my granddaughter, Molly," ,
lie added, an nlio came in carrying a (
[litcher of water and some glasses, and ,
with a pretty flush on her cheeks.
I sat down nnd had a real pleasant <
aveuing, and it wasn't the last I spebt
there, either, for in course of time
whenever I spent the night in Ohewboro,
which was every other night you
remember, I spent the cveuiug with
Molly.
One evening wo got talking about
names, and says I:
"Your name's a queer one?Stack- (
pole?1 never met with it before ex- 1
rept when I was a boy.* Down in Maine j
where I lived there were two boys i
who had been loft on the poorhouso
steps one night, nnd who were brought i
up there. ^-X^m and 'fiije their names
were, I remember, and we boys used
to call them 'haystack' for fun."
Molly had given a little ory of
sympat liy for the orphans, I Bup-i
posed, but ceased abruptly as her
grandfather glanced at. her sevorely.
Ho was a stern man and disliked all
display of softheartedness.
"The name isn't uncommon in some
parts," said he, and that was all. Do
you know, after that evening, the old
man would hardly speak to me, and
gave mo to understand by his manner
1 I t T . U _ 1 _ ? J a *
vuin i wnsu t as weicomo as i iisea 10
It made mo mad. So at last I
/r to Molly:
f'l toll you, Molly, T can't stand
. jis. [ must boo you hh much as I
have done, and I can't do it with
your grandfather acting ns if he owed
me money. Now I don't want to do
anything underhand, and I know your
honest little heart wouldn't let yon,
oilherv so the.only thing for us to do
in to get married right off, and I'll go
and ask your grandfather now."
You hoc, we'd made it all up between
us some time before, but we'd agreed
to wait a year, because Molly was eo
young.
Alolly said "Yes," and o!T I went to
interview the old man. I didn't expect
a very cordial reception, but 1
didn't expect anything nearly bo watm
as I got.
I was consigned to a spot not fit to
be mentioned before ladies th?j minute
I 11.ado my proposition, and tho old
gentium ?n used language ;that certainly
didn't belong to 4- deacon.
Then I got mad, an 1, s\ys I;
"Have you anything against my
character. Deacon Stackpoje," Bays I,
"or my prospects?" (
- iWYfr-ht^l'I've lockedthomup
pretty carefully! wina - I^gu eased what
you were hangVj^i vain for."
"Then what is your\ objeotiou?"
savs I.
But he wouldn't have anything to
Bay to mo but "no, no, no," and
wouldn't listen to nnythiug I said, sol I
went oft to find Molly crying under an |
apple tree, for Bho'd heard our angry
voices.
I didn't see her tho noxt evening
but one, for I found at my boarding
house a long Jotter from her, in whioo
she said:
Hrn, doar, gran lfat'aor is vary determine
1. an I you'd better not come over this

It's all about those two llttlo boys you
know la Maine, In tho piorhouse. You see,
I lift t an Uncle To:n, who was grandfather's
oldest son. Ho turned oat to bo very wild,
an I n great trial to graudfathor, and ho
nearly broke grandfather's heart. After
awhile he married an actress, and they went
away an 1 never were heard of for years.
Ortndfnther Is an awfully proud man. and
ho was mortified to death at the way Unole
To:n ha l aetod. Ho had been expelled from
the church, aud triat was a groat blow, and,
finally, whoa ho brought home his wife, that
w is the Ualshing touch.
She was blaok-halred nad she roddoned

Grandmother trlod to b?:*r with hor, but
oao day sho was impudent, and Unolo Tom

Ocnadmothor not'tally didn't daro to toll
grandfather, though her heart ached for hor

her minute directions us to her pnrt
in it. This I dUoutched bv n mcwuu
peer whom I oould trust, with dircokions
to giro it to Molly hersolf.
Thou I traveled all oror towu to got
leave of absence for the next day. I
was going to take the day o!T anyway,
but I thought I'd rather got it honestly
if 1 oould.
I got jicrmisaion for Joo McDonald
to run his engine on my troin and that
suited mo i I needed a locomotive b
oarrying out my plan and of oourso j
know my own best.
The rest of the night I spent iu soiuo
nocossary carpenter work.
A long day tho next was. I obtained
a marriage license, and with that iu
my pookot 1 felt that I oould dofy any
cross grainod grandfather.
Early iu tho afternoon I got up
steam in forty-seven, and it sooincd
as if tho minutes were hours until 6
o'clock. I'd had to toll tho sohome to
iny firomon?I'd got leave for him
too.
1 was gutting pretty nervous wlion
wo started out a little before ft o'clock.
Wo ran slowly up tho road, and
then got on to a aido track that ox*
touda alongside tho main road about
tou miles and wtuj just thon froo from
cars, luokily.
At last wo heard tho rumble of tho
express in the distance. Then T pulled
tho throttle and wo began to make
good speed, so that our gait just
equaled that of tho express, and we
ran side by side, first, second, third
car.
Thot was the one I had told Molly
to be in, and on the farther side, ho
that her grandfather should not boo
my engine.
We fell bnck a little and ran oven
with tho rear platform of the car.
Would she have the courage to do it?
Such a slight little thing as alio was,
and it would need such pluck.
Could she escape the old man's vigilance?
V.va cl?. llw. '
Quick now. There was the result of
my niglit'B carpenter work?a plank
long enongh to roach from the cab of
my locomotive to fh? platform of thi
car, provicloil with a rail, so that th ;
perlious walk might be made as safe
as possible.
It was fitted in place an I she stopped
upon it bravely, though her checks
were deathly pale.
How auxiously I watchod every step,
keeping one hand on the throttle lest
cither engine increase or slacken its
speed and the plank be shaken or bent
from the straight line.
Ilalf way across! A littlo faltering
as she glanced down at the flying
gravel.
"Coiiiage, my darling," I cried.
People were beginning to crowd to
the windows, and out upon the platform
rushed the brakenmn and a half
dozen passengers, and among them
grandfather Stackpole.
No one dared to speak for fear that
Molly would lose litr balance. The
brakenmn steadied that end of the
the bridge and the deacon wruug his
hands in misery.
Almost over, two steps more, and
tlinn T milled hrr in ami mnut herml
her with kisses, while the fireman
slackened our speed and played engineer
for awhile.
The plank, Molly's dangerous bridge,
fell to the ground as the express pulled
ahead, and we notieed that the feat
had been accomplished just in time,
for I looked out and saw only a threequarter
niile stretch of tho sido track
before us.
We reversed the engine?dear old
forty-seven that had won me a wifeami
within an hour I was the husband
of the sweetest little woman that man
ever loved - -my Molly, here.
"What became of grandfather?"
Ho soon forgave Molly, and has always
been kind to us, but his hoart
is still darkened to Tom's sons,
whom Molly insisted on hunting up
in Maine.
We found them both prosporous
farmers, who had no need of grandfather's
help, and this fact Boemed to
eontlrm his determination to have
nothing to do with them.

Porcelain Troth.
Artificial teeth are made of porcelain.
Porcelain in, as everyone known,
of many degrees of hardness, and the
greater or less hardness of a particular
kind of porcelain depends mainly
upon the degree of heat required to
fuse the ingredients of which it is
composed. The porcelain used for
artificial teeth consists chiefly of a
very fine kaolin, such as that used by
the Cliitiese ceramic artists, with felspar
for the enamel. The teeth,
with platinum j ins inserted in them,
are .exposed to a degree of heat so
high as to melt any nntal less fusible
than platinum, and this bakiiur brines
them to ft state of hardness sulheient
to resist the wear and tear incident to
the work they b?vo to perform.Courier-Journal.

Tlan Without Steam.
A marvelous race, up grade and
down, in which momentum was the
motive power, took place on the Consolidated
road Saturday. Five miles
below Stamford the cylinder head of
the big engine, No. "47, blew out
while tho train was making express
time. Instead of stopping and getting
stalled, Engineer Scofield let the machine
have its head and pullcil in
Stamford station on time, and not
even the conductor knew that anything
was the matter until the engineer called
for another engine, and No. 141 was
put on and pulled the train to this
city. The live miles was run without
a pound of steam aud solely on the
momentum the train was under when
the minhr.p took place.?New iiuvcu *
