ONLY MAGGIE.
But She Was the Gom of the
f Household.
The two words, “only Maggie," were
s sort of by-vrord in the Clements fam
ily, where the young Indy rejoicing In
the baptismal appellation of Margaret
waa considered somewhat inferior In
all respects to the three elder slaters.
Miss Nora Clements was artistic.
Miss Georgina Clements was musical,
snd her hours were spent executing in
trloaclesupon tho piano. Miss Cordelia
Clements wss a beauty.
Maggie, the youngest, was simply a
cheerful, good-tempered, industrious
girl, who aimed at no special display of
either besuty or talent, but waa quite
content to be handmaiden for the
others
Howard, the only brother, and the
eldest of the family, was a physician
nd the head of the household, the
father snd mother being dead. There
was wealth enough to make a pleasant
home when the separate incomes were
combined, and Howard would have
been most unwilling to see his sisters
leave him for any but a homo and hus
band of their own.
“We can all live comfortably to
gether." he would say, “but you have
not enough to live upon without work
if you leave the house we own among
us."
At first tho two older girls were quite
anxious to figure as a great artist and
musician, but finally they allowed their
brother to have his own way.
The youug doctor was very proud of
his sisters and their various attractions,
and when his warm friend and fellow
student, Paul Goddard, appeared to
make him a short visit, he lead him from
the office into tho house adjoining it,
delighted at the prospect of showing
off the girls to a city gentleman.
A tour of inspection in the drawing
room prereded the actual introduction.
Thus:
"This scene upon the Catskill moun
tains was painted by my eldest sister.
Paul. We spent tho summer there for
* the express purpose of allowing Nora
to make sketches. ”
“Very fine," murmured Paul, trying
his best to admire the mountains.
“And the music is Georgina’s.
Georgina is Slg. Skwallinni's best
pupil.”
"A great . talent,” Paul murmured
again.
"And this,” continued Howard, open
ing the photograph album, “is Cor
delia."
He added no more, and truly the
face was sufficiently beautiful to need
no comment. Paul spoke cordially:
"What a beautiful face! Who Is this
opposite your sister. Howard?"
'That is Maggie. She is my young
est sister."
“And does she paint or sing?"
"Oh, no. Maggie has no talent and
no beauty. She is a good little thing.
But come to your room. . Dinner will
be ready at six." ' •
"So Maggie is housekeeper," thought
Paul, a-s he looked around the tasteful
apartment assigned to him. “1 think
Miss Maggie certainly has something
of her sister’s artistic eye. How ex
quisitely those flowers are arranged
and how cool and fresh It is here, after
a hot, dusty ride."
Seeking the drawing-room again, Paul
found tho artistic sister contemplating
the scene from the back windows with
eapt enthusiasm.
Mr. Goddard,” she said, advancing
to meet him.
Paul made the necessary speech of
gratification, wondering if it was the
brown of the Cat-skill mountains that
waa daubed so extensively upon tho
wlrtof Miss Nora’s blue dress,and if it
was artistic meditation that had made
cr pin her collar crooked, and forget
er cuffs altogether. She launched at
cnee into a bewildering sea of techni
calities, and called upon Paul to admire
* eels of cloud and shadow, light and
fVf. from the back window, tili ho
f like a reprieved prisoner upon the
entrance of another sister, who was in
troduced as “my sister Cordelia."

deserved the most pity. He had ad
mired Cordelia in eeery variety of cos
tume, in every effective attitude; had
seen her eyes raised, and the Ion?
lashes of the drooping lids; and mar
veled at the wlyteness of her hands, at
the profusion of her curling hair; had
considered her a beauty, a weariness,
and a burden of spirit
But he could find but little time to
speak to Maggie. He saw the evidences
industry and taste in every de
tall of housekeeping; knew whose skill
directed the servants, whose fingers
filled the flower vases, whoso eyes
were everywhere. But the very per
fectlon of all these arrangements kept
the little woman too busy for many
idle moments, and in the evenings the
older sisters were ail-engrossing.
Two months had passed and instead
of June roses early fall fruits and flow
ers were abundant at Mossvale when
I’aul Goddard passed again through
the village and called at Dr. Clements'
office.
"I am so sorry," said Howard, as he
cordially shook his friend by the hand.
"All the girls are away. Uncle James
invited them to pass a month at the
White mountains, and they deserted
me."
"Then you are alone?”
"Oh, not entirely. Maggie stays to
keep house for me,"
"Oh, Miss Maggie is here. Shall I in
trude if I stay a day or two, Howard?"
"Intrude, Paul! Par from it. 1 am
not busy, and Maggie was telling me
to-day that time actually hangs heavy
upon her hands. Von know she wes
always running for the others. So now
the little damsel has time to enjoy her
self, and we have had some lovely rides
and drives. Maggie does ride beauti
fully and her horse is very fond of her."
It was true that Maggie was finding
many leisure hours while her sisters
were away, and Paul found that the re
tiring, modest girl was one of the pleas
antest companions it had ever been his
good fortune to meet
t 1 1 was an amusement the young physi
cian enjoyed to draw out the accom
plishments that had been overshadowed
by her sisters’ loudly proclaimed talents
and attractions. He found that Mag
gie could sing, with a sweet bird-like
voice, though she never attempted the
difficult songs In which Georgina was
supposed to excel. She could play sim
ple pieces with feeling and expression,
and her fingfrs would fairly dance over
the keys in livelier music, that required
no wonderful talent or elaborate exe
cution.
And it was wonderful how pretty the
child-like face became in Paul God
dard's eyes. There was a charm in the
constant cheerfulness that kept the
rosy month ever smiling and sweet;
there was a beauty of expression in
the brown eyes that mere form and
color can never give; there was an at
traction always in the exquisite neat
ness of dress that was never stiff and
prim, though so carefully arranged.
Howard Clements, who loved his
friend, and had hoped to secure him as
a brother during his former visit,
opened his eyes wide in amazement
as the days wore away and Paul lin
gered in Mossynle. During his first
visit Howard had hoped to sec him
yield to the fascinations of the elder
Misses Clements, and no maneuvering
mother ever took more pains than this
brother to display the talents and beau
ties of his sisters. That anyone would
look twice at Maggie when in the com
pany of the others had never occurred
to Howard.
But in the light of Paul’s evident ad
miration the brother began to contem
plate with different emotions the pos
sibility of losing his little sister. He
had borne with perfect composure the
prospect of parting with the others. It
seemed no great hardship, oven when
the separation involved the disappear
ance of Nora's masterpieces and
Georgina's music rack. But to lose
Maggie was quite another matter.
“Who,” Howard asked himself, in
dismay—"who would superintend the
servants and keep the house in order?
Who would wait with cheerful smiles
upon him when the duties of his pro
fession obliged him to ask for meals at
all sorts of irregular hours?"
Visions of Nora in paint-bedaubed
dresses, Georgina with frowsy hair
and Cordelia in inert beauty presiding
over the household filled Howard's
brain; and, while ho lamented, he ad
mitted that "Paul's head was level" in
his apparent choice.
Maggie could scarcely believe she
heard aright when Paul Goddard
pleaded for the gift of her love ami
promised all loyalty and devotion if she
would come to preside over his home.
"But,” she said, "you cannot really
love me."
"I really can and do,” was the reply.
"But I'm so piain and so stupid.
Howard said—” She paused and
blushed.
"Well, what did Howard say?"
"Never mind.”
"Tell me. That's a darling."
‘‘He said, then, that f was sure to be
an old maid, and after the others were
all married 1 was to stay here and help
him keep up a bachelor’s hall. I really
don’t see," she added, earnestly, “how
Howard will get along."
“He must do as I do.”
"How?"
"Seek a darling little housekeeper
for a wife.”
So, to the amazement of all con
cerned, the' first Miss Clements who
was married was not the artist, not the
musician, not the beauty, but only
M aggie. - N. Y. News.
No Matrimony for Them.
It is a remarkable fact that the
greater number of most distinguished
painters have lived and died free from
the thralldom of Hymen. Take, for
example, the presidents of the Boyal
academy. Sir Joshua Reynolds was a
bachelor; Benjamin West, his suc
cessor, was a bachelor; so was Sir
Thomas Lawrence; so, too, Sir Edwin
Landseer, for he, be itremembered, was
elected president, and his refusal did
not take effect until thirteen days af
terward; so, also, Sir Francis Grant,
and. as everybody knows. Sir Fred
erick Leighton. Maclise. too, who
was offered the presidency and a
knighthood and refused both, was no
more amenable to the idea of mar
riage. Then‘Turner, Etty, Sir David
Wilkie. Sir William Boxall, Sir W. Gor
don and Sir W. C. Ross, all of them re
garded matrimony with the same aver
sion as Reynolds, who. when he heard
of Flaxman’s engagement, exclaimed:
"Then he's ruined for an artist. '
The celibacy of Raphael and Miohaol
angclo was to him a sacred example,
as sacred as it is to the priei||iood,

Thr® Wt* No Chance of HU
Injured.
A man who seemed thoroughly down
on his luck walked into the
Valley station the other afternoon and
lookqji around curiously. ' ■
After peering into every corner of the
place, he strolled over to the ticket
window and asked;
"Is this here the Lehigh Valley de
pot?” J
“Yes, sir," answered the ticket
agent.
"Strike on the road, I hear?"
“Yes."
"Suppose I can’t get a ticket down to
IVilkcsbarrc, can 1?”
"Yes."
But the trains ain't going to run,
are they?”
“Oh, yes, they are."
“Strike all along the liner’
"Somthing of a strike, yes."
Then hotv’re you going to run
trains?"
The agent raised bis voice. "Now,
sec here," he said, "I told you that you
could get a train to Wilkosbarrc. Do
you want to go?”
The man counted out loose change
and laid it down on the window ledge.
"Guess i will," ho said,
lie was given a ticket and walked
over and sat down on a bench. Ho ex
amined his ticket carefully and shifted
around in his seat uneasily, says the
Buffalo Express. After ten minutes
he went to the window again. "Say,”
he said, "that train's likely to run off
the track ain't it?”
"No," said the agent shortly.
"Strikers probably will put rails
on the track, or somethin', won't
they?"
“I should say not."
"But I mean they may he some dan
ger in ridin’ down there to Wilkes
barre; will, won't they?"
"Not a bit."
"Moro'n likely somethin' will hap
pen. though, don’t you think?"
"No, 1 don't think. There will be
no more danger than on an ordinary
occasion, and that is just none at
all."
The man went over and sat down
again He was evidently bothered,
for, after another ten-minute wait,
he walked over to the window again.
"Sure I won't get hurl?" he asked,
anxiously.
"Now, see here!'' said the ticket
agent warmly. "I want you to under
stand that there is not the remotest
danger of your getting hurt. The trip
will bo absolutely safq. You needn't
be nervous about it at all."
The man walked slowly toward the
door. "Just my durn luck,'’ he said,
as he passed out. "Here, I’ve gone
and pul all my money in a ticket,
Glinkin’ the train might be run off the
track an’ me get hurt, so's I could get
a case for dumagos, an' there's no morn
danger than if I was to stay here. I’m

NOTHING FROM HOWELL.
The Hear Old l.arty Who Had No Cause
to Worry.
There was a motherly-looking old
lady sitting in the midst of her bundles
at the depot the other day, when a man
with a grip aat down beside her and
began to read a newspaper. She eyed
him pretty sharply for a few minutes
and then inquired:
"Any great nows in the papers, to
day?"
"Nothing very extraordinary," he
replied.
"See anything from Howell?"
"Not yet."
"I’m from Howell, or party near
there. Ilin down hero visitin' my sis
ter. Haven't bin hero but two weeks,
but it seems a hull year. Gnly got one
letter from Joseph, and about all he
said in that was that ho took his pen in
hand to inform me that he was well,
and hoped these few lines would find
mo the same, which they did. I'm a
little worried. Don’t find any item
there about a house or barn burnin’ up
near Howell?”
“No, ma'am.”
"Joseph was breaking a colt when I
came away. Don't sec anything about
a farmer giltin’ his neck broke or bein’
kicked to death?"
“Nothing of the sort, ma'am "
“Anything about any one falling
down a well or off a haymow?"
"No, ma'am."
"Joseph is awful reckless, but mobhe
he's got through all right. Anything
about a mad dog biting anybody, or a
gun bustin' and blowin' a man’s head
off while he was shootin' at a hawk?”
"Nothing whatever. I think you
will got home and find everything all
right.”
“1 hope so, but two weeks is a long
time to bo away, and I’m naturally
given to worry more or less. I expect
the pigs bad pot out of the pen two or
three times, and I’sposc the colts have
broke out again and Joseph has left
the cellar door open every night, but if
it's no worse I shall be a thankful
woman.”
"Here's an item about a farmer run
ning away with the hired girl while
his wife was absent," said the man as
he turned the paper.
"Do tell! Wall, that don't skeer me
any. I didn't leave no hired girl there,
and Joseph is so awful homely that
even the sheep dodge him. Much
oblceged to you, I expect to find
things a little topsy-turvy, but I guess
there ain't no call to worry.”- Detroit

it was in a large department store
that a gilded youth drifted up to the
candy counter.
“Do you know,” he said to the pretty

"Why?” she asked indignantly.
"In order to give the candy a chance,"
he answered.

[Auburn, N Y„ Rulletln.!
U la on record that upon a chilly April
flay, a few year* ago, an eight-year-old boy
fell Into the East river nt the foot of East
Eighth street. New York, and when all ef
fort* to rescue him had failed, Edward Don
nelly, at risk of his own life, plunged into
the water and, when himself nearly ex
hanslad, saved the boy from drowning, it
was a humane and self-sacrificing deed, and
received deserved commendation In all the
newspapers.
There is a sequel to this accident, how
ever. which thus far Ims notbeen published
It is to the effect that Donnelly was para
lyzed aa a result of the cold plungoand came
near dying. Auburn people have known
the family since hiswlfowas AmandaOrant
man and his sister Mrs. K. n. ferry, of 31
Moravia street. Donnelly himself describes
the rescue and the result;—
"I was general foreman of the V. A. Mnl
grew Haw Mills, foot of Eighth street, N. Y,
on the East river. It was on the 30th of
April, 189, that the boy fell into the river
nnd 1 rescued him from drowning. At, that
timo I was in the water so long that I was
taken with a deathly chill, nnd soon became
so stiffened up and weak that I could neither
work nor walk For aomo timo T was un

said I had locomotor Ataxia Ho finally
gave mo up, and on the Ist of Juno, 1893, my
wife nnd I came up to Auburn.
“When the disease llrsl came upon mo
the numbness began in my heels, and soon
the whole of botti my feet became affected.
There was a cold feeling across ttio small of
my back nnd downwards, and a sense of
soreness and a tight pressure on the chest.
The numbness gradually extended up hoth
legs and into the lower part, of my body. I
felt that death waa creeping up to my vilala.
I waa still Inking the medicine V‘lt was

“I sent to the Clma. H Hngar Company,
the popular Auburn druggists and chemists,
