I had been a telegraphic operator at Brandon some six or eight months and bad held communication of a purely business rharacter only with the opera tor at Danwood, when there came a change.. A message spun along the line one morning in this wise: Good morning, Brandon." I responded, "Good morning, Dan- wood." The former operator died last night and I have taken his place." What is your name?" I asked. "Nellie Merton. What Is yours?" A spirit of mischief prompted my reply. Harry Clayboxn." Then a message in real earnest came along the line, and we were obliged to attend to business. Every day I bid my unseen acquaint ance "Uooa morning, ana never cioseu up at night without a farewell mes sage. A tinge of conscience racked me at times, and a still, small voice whis pered its warning, but the temptation was too great and it was not long be fore I was sending sly messages to the unseen Nellie. It was no end of fun. She told me her history. She had run away from home because her parents insisted up on marrying her to a man she detested and the last word came clicking vi ciously from my end of the line. She Well, the outcome of It all was that I asked the unseen Nellie to be my wife, and even described the little home that was lonesomely awaiting her coming. I was floundering in deep water and could but trust to a merci ful Providence to pull me out My fun was becoming dead earnest. That virtue was almost exhausted when the well-known call fell on my ear; I flew to the instrument. It was concise, but not very complimen tary. "Rather than marry that brute, I will risk it" I was in for it now. I, Delia Browne, was engaged to be married to a young lady I had never seen. This was forc ing the question of woman's rights. I carried the fun on for over three months, and every day it grew less funny, until I began to brood over the predicament into which I had led my feet. The time was rapidly approach- Mg when I would have to claim my bride. At last I could bear It no longer, and ne day, Just three weeks before I was to travel to Danwood and claim my bride, I got into the train with al together another motive. It was to kiss and make up, after I had begged her with tears to forgive me, etc. I found the telegraph office. It was occupied by a young man reading a paper. I looked at him without speaking, and he returned the compli ment In kind. "I wish to see Miss Nellie Merton" I said, and as he did not speak, I went on to explain. "I am an operator at Brandon, and desire to see her on im portant business. A moment's delay means" So you are the operator at Brandon, and wish to see Miss Merton. I am sorry -to disappoint you, but you see Miss Merton is at home at the present time, while I take her place. The-fact is, she Is going to be married, and Is preparing for the great event She cannot be seen personally, but, If you will intrust the message to me, I will deliver it immediately, if you will take my place while I run around to the house." "I must see her," I said excitedly, "But you cannot" he said coolly. "I have orders not to let anyone know her whereabouts for a day of two, un til these preparations are well under way, Don't say another word. You will set me wild. If you won't tell me where to find her," I went on, in des peration, "will you please tell her this: I have been a wicked girl and and there is no such person as Harry Clay- born. It started in fun, and and please let me go to her. She will un derstand me much better than you can explain it. "No such person as Harry Clayborn! My dear young lady, I must beg to dif fer with you. That is the name of the young" gentleman, who, in three short weeks, Is to marry Miss Merton. Surely he is not dead," he added in consterna tion. "Oh! will you not understand? It was all a joke at first I thought it would be great fun, and so I well, I am Harry Clayborn, and after a time we became engaged all in fun, too. I tried to stop, but I was so wicked I could not and now poor Nellie will break her heart. AnA-and- Here I broke down and began to cry In a miserable way. Unlike most men, my companion was not in the least dis concerted at the sight of my tears, but simply laughed loud and long. Presently the laughter ceased. Then I heard uneasy movements in the chair occupied by my companion. Then he got up and paced about rest lessly. Pretty soon a gentle touch fell upon my arm, and bis voice, very kind, aald: .,j u ; J,,-. ... "Nellie is here to receive your con fession and forgiveness." I dried my tears and looked up, but saw no one but the tall, handsome young man, who was looking at me very earnestly. "Where is she? I asked, ready to cry again. Here," he said, holding out his hand. Instinctively I put mine into It and It closed over It firmly. 1 also have a confession to make," he said, earnestly. "I thought you were another young fellow like my self, and wishing to relieve the tedium of these long, monotonous days, struck up a flirtation. In short," he added abruptly, "I am Nellie Merton, and you are Harry Clayborn. Come, dry your tears, Harry; your Nellie is not heartbroken at the turn of affairs." "You are a contemptible fellow," I cried. He did not reply, but stood looking- flown at me from his superior height It was very mean of you, because your object was a woman. I will never forgive you, If I live to be a thousand," I cried. Is not that rather paradoxical, con sidering the fact that you thought I was a woman, and you were enacting the role of the sterner sex?" he asked. You might have known," I an swered severely. But I did not," he said. Here Is my train," I replied short ly. "Good-bye," he said, assisting me on the train, despite my independence, and lifting his hat as the train steamed out One morning about a year later I was arranging and copy ing some night messages when a long shadow fell across my paper. A glance upward told me who it was. Standing with his hat in his hand, and without preface of any kind, he said: Over a year ago you asked me to marry you and I consented. I have come to-day to ask will you come or shall I enter an action for breach of promise?" What could I say or do? The Ostrich as a Fighter. To be overtaken all on a sudden, without time for preparation, by a cheeky ostrich, is one of the greatest ills flesh is heir to, and might result disastrously to the uninitiated, but old hands are always all there on an emer gency. Undoubtedly the best weapon, barr ing a wire fence, is a good stout stick or blunt pitchfork. As a rule, if a bird means to have your life or die in the attempt he -charges from about thirty yards, when you receive him at the bayonet's point He rushes at you with flashing eye, looking the very embodi ment of fury. Drawing himself up to a height of ten feet or more, with wings outstretched and hissing like a cobra, he makes four or five strikes. You retreat a pace of two, so as to avoid the fork piercing through his neck, and hold him off at arm's length till he learns that his efforts are use less. Drawing the fork sharply away you strike him a blow on the neck, rendering him Insensible and taking away his breath. This quiets him for a while, till he recovers from his be wilderment and makes a fresh charge, when the fork is again presented. Strand Magazine. Bicycles and Dress Clothes. Cycling is exercising a tremendous influence, far as men's trade is con cerned. What is the point? Why, the men in town are dressing as they did last summer, In tweeds and flannels, instead of black morning coats, frock coats, summer chesterfields, silk hats, fancy gloves, patent leather boots, etc, These have practically vanished. This kind of dress is donned in the morning that a man may cycle to his club, to pay a call, to go to church, for which. by the way, he used to dress up, and in many cases he has changed to flannel and to colored shirts instead of the costly and elaborate dress white ones. To-day he sallies forth, whether town or a country gentleman, in a soft tweed Knickerbocker suit till he has to doff It for dinner, or as likely as not he does not take it off at all. We are not to expect the old days to return. Men are going largely to wear tweed, and the fetters once broken in England they will follow on the Conti nent and in America. London Tailor. Johnny Wasn't Quite Up On America. The teachers in the kindergarten find a perpetual fund of amusement in the funny little people committed to their charge. One of them one of the teachers is responsible for this story of a mite of a lad, who possesses high, shrill voice, and uses it on every possible occasion. She had been teach ing the class to sing "America," a slow and somewhat painful operation. Over the verse. "Land where our fathers died, land of the pilgrims' pride," she labored long and earnestly, and when at last they seemed famil iar with the words they picked up the air amazingly quick her attention was particularly drawn to the shrill-voiced youngster just mentioned. He was certainly introducing a variation on the text but just what it was she couldn't make out. High rose the thin voice above the chorus, the little fel low singing with the utmost confidence something which certainly wasn't in the original version. "Now, scholars," said the teacher, "we'll all stop and let Johnnie sing his Terse aione. jonnnie is such a nice singer. Now, Johnnie." So Johnnie, with an amazing grin, lifted up nis razor-edged soprano af ter this fashion: Land where ow f azers dies. Land of the pills and pies. And It took Johnnie a great deal lon ger to unlearn this extraordinary com bination of nonsense than it did foi I him to pick up the entire song origi- naiiy. ueiroit r ree lYess. A LUMINOUS LIFELINE. nfflcient Luminosity to be Visible foe A Long Distance. In spite of the magnificent work of the Life Saving Corps of the Govern ment, and regardless of the apparatus for the rendering of aid to the ship wrecked which is at their command, many a life has been lost by the ina bility of the persons who are clinging a wreck to see the line shot at them from the shore, or, if it reaches the rigging to tell just where it might be seized upon. As, in such cases, min utes mean lives, the Inability to see and grasp the lifeline without the de lay of a second, has lessened the pop ulation of the earth by several in many, many instances. The idea evolved is to provide a life line which emits a phosphorescent light of sufficient luminosity to be vis ible for a long distance immediately It leaves the mortar's mouth and is shot through the gale aud across the waves to the wreck. In the past if it hap pened to be daylight when the life-savers were at work, they could by means their glasses tell whether or not they had landed a lifeline aboard the wreck. It unfortunately happens, though, that the majority of wrecks occur at night and, therefore, a lu minous lifeline becomes an Invention of the first importance! By its use the life-savers can tell exactly what has happened to the line. There need be no more uncertainty. It is estimated that the luminous line will be visible with as much distinct ness as if the light were emitted from 56-candle power electric bulb. In that way, unless the storm were too dense, the line would be visible Its en tire length from shore to wreck, and the watchers on the beach could tell just what progress toward safety was being made by those whose lives they were trying to save, Austin States man. A QUEER SHAH. He Threw His Crown on the Floor and Declined to ttehead Some Bobbers. The new Shah of Persia has some qualities which make him a very pic turesque character, and perhaps he may prove a modern Haroun-al-RaB-chid. J. Foster Fraser, an Englishman who has 'spent some time with His Maj esty, says that the coronation cere mony took place on a very hot day, and as soon as His Majesty could es cape he hastened off to his private rooms. Some one found him ten min utes afterward, sitting in a draught and in his shirt sleeves, on some steps in the corridor, the crown still on his head, though pushed somewhat awry. Your Majesty will be ill If you sit there," was said. "Oh, I am so warm, and this thing," he answered, taking off the crown and pitching it on one side, "is so heavy; I hope I shall never have to put it on again." The Shah's predecessor, so it used to be said, had a summary way of get ting rid of disgraced Ministers, but the inflicting of pain, or the exercise of despotic power to Injure any one bod ily, is antagonistic to the present Shah's desires. Indeed, Mr. Fraser thinks he might almost go so far as to say he is something of a Socialist Some time ago a gang of bill robbers was captured and taken before him to receive sentence that their heads be chopped off. He Inquired Into their case, and found they had been leading a hard and perilous life. "Poor men," he observed, "I suppose they robbed because they wanted something to eat" and then he ordered their re lease. New York JournaL CURRENT WIT AND HUMOR.

American How They Fought Santiago. at Hassam Enver Psha, an attache of the Turkish army, sent to observe military operations in the American Spanish war, has given his views to the New York World, and from the World's account we Rive the following extract showing his opinion of the American soldier?: The conditions under which the Amer icana fought were very trying. The at moFpheric conditions, the thick tropical jnngle, the intense heat and the showers of rain, creating a ho; vapor, were most difficult and enervating in themselves. They tf quire the utmost endurance. If the Americans had been any less than what they are, coming as they did from a northern or cooler climate, it would have been impossible for them to have endured what they went through I should say that cavalry might be very effective, in portiors of Cuba, in the American army. It Is a fact, however easily seen, that in this campaign, at least so far, the infantry has proved iteeli by the far most effective. Artillery held the balance of effectiveness in the Tur-ko- Greek war. If it had been necessary to assault Santiago the balance might nave been restored to the artillery, which bad been well planted before Santiago capitulated. There were, apparently, few intricate military maneuvers, bnt an extended imoant of skirmishing and advances by mail bodies of men, to whose endurance there was no limit With little food, and that of a kind which to me, accustomed to the nourishing rations of the Turkish jrmy, seemed utterly inadequate and un suitable to their needs. The men seem- d to know no such word as halt No charge was too difficult for them, nothing dampened their enthusiasm or could restrain them. Between., the volunteers and reenlare there was a marked difference. There was a unity among the regulars that told of the Beaeoned fighter. I understand that many of the troops at Santiago have wen long and hard service fighting yonr Indians and have won their spurs in that way. They showed plainly that they were seasoned soldiers. Yet the volunteers at all times showed their determination to do their beet, and for men coming, as many of them did, straight from their desks, they did won derful service. They were always willing and anxious to get a chance at the Spaniards. The Rough Riders were a peculiar body of men and were splendidly equipped, They were soldiers of pride, and would recognize that they had a fighting power whose only limit was death. Considering all the conditions, I regard the American troops as wonders, and the small loss cannot be accounted for by any military theories. As the soldiers went to the real work cut out for them they struck me as full of an immense reserve power, that they did not need any battlecries to call forth, They seemed to me quite capable of fighting without urging, and I did not hear a Bingle instance where the offi cers fonnd any need for urging their commands forward, or to any duty or attack. The American soldier does not put his enthusiasm into words. He went along, and fought as he went. The colored soldiers whom I saw show ed great bravery. I was struck with the strong constitu tions with which all the men seemed en dowed. They were a robust, not a weak lot of men. In fact they seemed par ticularly healthy, and healthy men are always better fighters. Yonr examiners must have been very strict in their re quirements, as the volunteers were of the finest class of men physically. I was particularly interested by the cheerfulness and resolution the Ameri can forces displayed as they went into battle. And when these same men came back wonnded they still showed that same disposition. "I saw many wounded at Siboney where they mixed the wounded with the sick in a manner I have never seen in Enrope and do not believe would be done there. The arrangements for car- ng for the wonnded were utterly inade quate, even when it is considered that the percentage of the wounded was far below the established percentage. The wounds received by the American sol diers were not to be compared with those the Turkish soldiers received from the Greeks. The Mauser invariably made the small, clean wound, while onr sol diers received big wounds very big ones from the Grass guns of the Greek. The Manser is a far more civilized weapon, for while it disables it does not kill. I consider the Mauser the superior rifle in every respect. The American marksmanship is super ior, remarkable, and I heard of many in stances of wonde.ful shooting. Consider ing the disposition of the American forces and the manner in which the ad vances were made, the percentage of killed is very smalled compared with the usual percentage of slain. And yet some of the shooting done by the Span iards was good. It was better than the artillery work of the Spaniards. . The volunteer forces are a quantity in war with which no comparison can be made with any European body of sol diers. Since military service is obliga tory in European countries, a volunteer force such as has been gathered in Amer ica at the call of the president is a re markable army. I have been asked al ready if I think this war will bring about any change in American ideas on the subject of compulsory military service. I have seen nothing that would make ma think your country would find any' change. All the officers have shown exception bravery. It needs no evidence to prove that, beyond the fact that so many of tbem were wonnded. The American soldier does keep on hinking all the time, whether fighting or getting ready for it. AN OPEN LETTER o Hon, William Mckinley, President of the United States. Daar Sir: It seems to be cruel to add another missive to the 2,500 letters yon ' daily receive, bnt as it is the prerogative of the humblest citiz ins to petition the government, it ia not presumption. According to a statement of the American IsBue," a temperance paper, Carroll D. Wright, a reliable statistican and government tffioial, asserts "that for every $1 00 collected by the liquor tax license, it costs $21 in other ex penses." Assuming this to be true, there must be a leak somewhere. If we farmers were compelled to pay a toll of bushels for every single bushel we put 'n to the granary, somebody would be hurt Good seDse dictates that any scheme for collecting revenue that costs more than it comes to, ought to be peedily abolished. What does it meaii? Is it a specimen of Wall street banking, a move on the chess board of the Rothschilds? Whatever it may be, it is perfectly ridiculous, aad rotten to tta verycort! If it be claimed that the revenue is die- ipated by the salaries of officials, extra police court fees, extra cost of pooi- houses, lunatic asylums, divorces, etc., it does not alter the case. The whole includes all its parts, and when the gen eral government suffers, all its parts. states, counties, corporations, down to individuals, suffer. Then back of all this, the murders, riots, indecencies, immoralities, and gen eral demorlizations, cannot be deput ed in dollars and cents. Woe worth the day when the liquoritea gain the ascen dency! Well sir, what do yon want? 1 irst, the revocation of the offensive clause ot army orders, No. 46, which allows a saloon to every regiment. The testimony of Gen. Miles is, "Sol diers should be ancontaminated by any indulgences that shall dim, stultify, weaken or impair their faculties or strength in any particular." Gen O. O. Howard, whose empty sleeve reveals bis loyalty to his country in the firece battles of Gettysburg, says, The better the Christian, the braver the soldier." This is not religious cant, bnt the experience of old war,' worn vet erans. Second, the t xclnsion of all intoxica ting liquors from the presidential man sion, especially at state dinners. Oar worthy President should set the bibu lous representatives of foreign nations, an example of Republican simplicity and sobriety. Dare to do right! Third, the recommendation in a strong message to Congress of the entire aboli tion of the liquor license. The govern ment license is the strongest proof of the great abomination, Knock that away and allow it to stand upon its own merits, and then the whole rotten fabric will tumble to the ground. A nation that gloats over the corrup tion and damnation of its citizens for the sake of revenue ought not to exist, no, not for an hour. Surely the United wis dom of Cocgress can devise a more de cent and economical plan to pay onr na tional expenses. To be a drunkard means a mere cipher. He is not wanted in the army, nor in the navy, nor in the harvest, nor as a clerk, nor as a railroad employee, nor even as a bar-tender in a saloon. And here let me say with abat ed breath, the devil bimeelf does not want a poor outcast. He prefers sena tors, representative!, diplomatea and nice gentlemen, and the sons of million aires to give respectability to his dirty work. Oh, the blockheadt! A great man once said, "Peace hath its victories as well as war." You, as commander in-chief have given us a treat war victory. Do not stop at that, bnt give us a still greater victory, a peace victory. To redeem our country from its present intemperance would be a greater achievement than our deliver ance from BritiBh tyranny by Washing ton, or the freedom of three million of slaves by Lincoln. All this could be done by a few strokes of the pen. Obi my brother, it is worth a martyr's crown ? That prlxe with peerless glories bright, Which shall new lustre bosst. When victor's wreaths, and monarch gems Shall blend in common dust." Most respectfully Yours, J. G. HARRIS, Sr., Bellefontaine, O. V !; t-i I' ll E t I U
