A young woman of Washington birth and rearing, who has made her home for these three years past in a small Indiana town, says that for tact and diplomacy she knows nobody to equal her neighbors out there. She nad scarcely settled herself in her new home when one day she heard a hen proudly cackling in her back yard. She went out to see what could have brought a strange hen into her yard, and found that the fowl had just laid an egg in the woodbox outside, the kitchen door. While she was still wondering where on earth the creature had come from, the shock head of a thin and tall girl of 12, rose over the fence which divided the yard from the ygrd of the house next door. "Hello," said the girl. "Good morning." answered theWashingtonian. "We got plenty of eggs." remarked the girl. "Maw says you kin have that one our hen jes' laid in that woodbox of yourn." "Thank you, very much," said the Washingtonian. The girl still hung on the fence. "We ain't goin to charge you nothin' fer it," she went on. "That's very kind, indeed," answered the new neighbor. "It's a gift," remarked the girl. Then there was silence for a few moments. The girl still clung to her side of the fence. "Say," she said finally, "maw says now you're acquainted with us folks she'd like to borrow a tack hammer." AN AWE STRICKEN WITNESS. "I well remember," said a veteran lawyer, "the trial of a case In which Judge Henry T. Backus was doing cross examining. Now, the Judge was noted for his lavish use of six footed words, and he used frequently to astound if not confuse an unprepared witness with a plethora of high sounding phrases. The case I speak of was tried in Sault Ste. Marie, and there was a simple, inoffensive Frenchman on the witness stand. He understood little o{ the attorney's profound interrogatories and gave his answers in a confused and stammering way calculated to ruffle the sweetest temper. Finally the attorney paused in the middle of his cross examination and objected because the answers of the witness were not responsive. He was advised by the court to couch his questions in simpler language. Then Judge Backus, pointing his finger at the meek looking witness and looking him straight in the eye, thundered: ' 'Sir, I desire you to respond to my Interrogatories categorically and without prevarication or take the consequences!' "'Oh!' exclaimed the Frenchman rising from his chair in fear. 'Oh! What dat?' "Of course the incident convulsed the spectators and the court, and it was sometime before order was restored and the case could proceed."?Detroit Free Press. "Nosed Him Ous."?In the "Argonauts of California," Mr. C. W. Haskins tells a good story of sauerkraut. In one of the mining districts near Sacramento a storekeeper received a barrel of provisions which seemed to be spoiled, to judge by the smell. Instead of throwing it away, he thrust it into one corner of a shed, where waste and rubbish were piled upon it. # One day a burly, dust covered Dutchman entered the store. "I vants me some dot," pointing toward the shed. "What is dot?" inquired the storekeeper. "I shows you," said the miner. You shust come mit me." And to the shed they went, where, pointing to the rubbish heap, the Dutchman explained, "Some of dot in dere vas vat I wants." Boxes and barrels were removed, and the condemned barrel was exposed. But when the miner eagerly pointed to it the trader told him it was spoiled meat, not fit to eat. "I knows better as dot," said the i^UlVJIillKXlt. 1UU UUOl lillll ill U11U 1 shows you." "An axe was brought and the barrel "busted in," when, instead of spoiled meat, there was revealed some good, old fashioned sauerkraut, made in Holland and shipped around Cape Horn. "I knows it," said the delighted miner. "I nose him out!" The sauerkraut sold readily at a dollar a pound and was in great demand. The Dutch miners heard of it and walked 10 and 15 miles to get a taste of the dainty. An Apt Answer.?The dangers associated with the fishing industry on the Newfoundland banks are many and grave. Foremost among them is that the dories may be upset while fishing which involves the almost inevitable loss of their occupants. Callous captains, secure themselves from thenecescity of going, frequently order their men out when the weather does not warrant it, and disasters are the result. One of these brutal skippers was aptly answered last year by a bankman, of whose courage or capacity there was no question. "Out with you," shouted the captain. "Hurry up, there. It's a fine fishing day." "On, no, skipper," replied the doryman. "It's too stormy today for a boat to nsn." "Nonsense, man," replied the skipper. "If my old grandmother from Provincetown was here today she'd get her dory out." "Then, skipper." said the man, "if her grandson will come out with me now I'll haul my trawl." It is needless to say that no dories were launched from that schooner on that date.?Philadelphia Ledger. - ? t trT "Am dis here de place whah you gets de mah'ge licenses?" asked the colored gentleman in the city hall.

The aisles have been packed before; but the windows and doors were never considered avail able room. The bridal party presented a fairyland appearance, and the background was a rich tropical scene. The bride was charming, the groom was handsome, all the maids were beautiful, the attending gentlemen were at their best, and the little flower girl, Mina Love, was "too sweet for anything." The Rev. J. S. Molfatt's ceremony, compiled chiefly from the sayings of Paul, was exceedingly appropriate. The prayer of the Rev. D. N. McLauchlin was brief, earnest and very suitable Mr. Andrew J.

Huffstetler iaptured Bob Wilson, colored, at Crowder's Creek and turned him over to Mr. Charles Hambright, who carried him to Shelby yesterday. Wilson broke into Mr. Hambright's store at Grover, about the first of October, and supplied himself with pants, shoes, jewelry etc., and had been hiding since then The most important social event of the season was the marriage of Dr. Frank Wilson and Miss Mary Bradley, in the Presbyterian church, Thursday afternooon at 5 o'clock. Great crowds began to gather long before the hour, and when the bridal party arrived a few minutes before five, the church and galleries were filled with friends of the popular young couple. The church decorations consisted of two large vases of ferns on either side of the puipit, and other smaller flowers with an opening between the fern pots for the minister to stand facing the congregation. To the strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march, by Mrs. J. Lee Robinson, three couples of young men marched down the aisles to the pulpit, Messrs. James Page and Chas. H. Cavis in the center. Fred L. Smyre and Sam A. Robinson in the right, and Robert C. Adams and Lamar C. Pegram in the left. Then came down the centre aisle Dr. P. R. Falls and J. White Ware, Jas. L. Bryan and J. Flem Johnson, followed by the bridesmaids singly?Misses Iia Pursley, Mamie Love, Bessie Wilson and Lillie Harris. The groom entered at the right aisle on the arm of Dr. Fred Williams, of Yorkville, S.

The ceremony was performed in an impressive manner by the graceful pastor of the church, Rev. Mr. McG. Shields. Tho vmintr mon wprp all dressed in black suits. Grocer's Daughter Became a Princess.?Field Marshall Count von Waldersee undoubtedly owes his selection to the leadership of the international forces in China to the friendship of the German emperor which he has enjoyed for many years, and to the influence of his wife, who has been popular with the royal household of Germany since the presegt emperor ascended the throne. She is the daughter of a New York grocer who came to the metropolis from Connecticut. When he died his widow and daughter, Mary Esther Lee, went to live in Stuttgart. The daughter was an attractive young woman and gained access to the best society there. In Stuttgart she met Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein, who renounced hi^ title to marry her. This was in 1864. The prince was over 70 years old, and his bride was 26. They made a trip to the Holy Land, and there, six months after the marriage, the Prince died, leaving a fortune to the young widow of about $4,000,000. Soon after the death of Prince Frederick, the emperor of Austria made his widow a princess in her own right under the title of Princess Von Noer. From that time she became a conspicuous figure in Europe, but in a political rather than social circles. She is credited with having brought about the marriage between the German Eipperor, who was then Prince William of Prussia, with the Princess Augusta Victoria, her grandniece by her first marriage, in the face of the protestations of the young prince's mother.

From railroads on down to country merchants, they are going to increase the population of the South by immigration and by bringing the people from the North. It is population that makes wealth in a country like this. The South has a superabundance of natural wealth, and it only needs the labor of man to bring it out. It is easier and more certain | to secure wealth by bringing in people to develop it than by hunting around for capital that does little good to a j community if it has to be begged to come in, for then it wants the earth. Let the people of the South show their j wealth to those who with the labor of meir nanus can ueveiup n anu mc insult will soon be such an improvement that capital will come in seeking for something to develop, and will then become a real help. The "capitalist" who buys for a thousand dollars a property having in it possibilities of a hundred thousand, then sits down and waits for some one to pay him $5,000 for his chances, is of no help to the country. The man who can show better results from tilling the soil, who can get money out of his timber, or his minerals, or utilize a water power and start a settlement, is worth a dozen of the so-called "capitalists" who are sitting down on the chances of making a fortune out of somebody else instead of the ground. The South is rich in opportunities for settlers. It was the settlers who made the West. And th< chances for them In the South an greater and opportunities more varle< than they were in the West in the ear ly days.?Exchange. S3" The 'Galveston relief fund hai reached 51,140,368.
