Selection Will Keep the Alabama i Assembly Busy for a Time. MONTGOMERY. Ala., Nov. B.— The general assembly of Alabama will con • vene on next Tuesday. The first two weeks will be devoted chiefly to the election of a senator to succeed Sen- j ator Pugh. Governor Oates, Congress man Bankhead and Gen. E. W. Pet- ' tvs are the candidates and they are ) rhowing about equal strength. Four fifths of the legislature were elected as Democrats and more than two-thirds cf them are silver advocates. Pugh's successor will therefore probably be a silver man. Oates entertains moderate silver views; the other candidates are enthusiasts. LOSES A LEG IN AN ELECTION BET.

PLEASING INDICATION OF THE GENERAL RENEWAL OF BUSI NESS ACTIVITY. Y. M. O. A. WEEK OF PRAYER. Notable Observance in Minneapolis — Johnson Inqnest Began-News ot Mill City. The slumbering echoes of the early. Sabbath morning were rudely awak ened yesterday by three revolver shots near Third avenue south and Third street. Immediately two men were seen careering along Third avenue south and turned north on Second street with an officer in close pursuit. In an alley off Second avenue he cap tured one of the men and the other made good his escape. It was a slick "con" man he was after, but he cor ralled the wrong one. The officer was John Long. In near ing Second avenue south and Third street he was called by a man standing at the corner. "See these two men standing at the next corner?" he inquired, pointing to two at Third avenue. The officer's eye sight was good. "Well," resumed his interrogate^ "one of those fellows robbed me of $45 in the Guaranty Loan building five weeks ago. I know him. There can be no doubt. Come to think of it you are the officer I told the story to at the time. Long recalled the circumstances. The fellow had made a chance ac quaintance with two men. One owed the other money. The amount was borrowed from their new found ac quaintance and the borrower went into the Guaranty building to "get a $1,000 check cashed." He did not return. Long and the complainant started after the two men. The latter saw them coming and took to their heels. Wishing to attract the attention of other officers he fired three shots, but at random. The fugitives turned into an alley where abound questionable re sorts with Afro-Americans habitues. Long collared the fellow he thought was wanted and turned about to await th~ complainant who had dropped be hii. in the chase. "That's not the feller. It was the other one," said he on his arrival after a careful scrutiny. But the "other fel ler 1 * was not then to be found. KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP. Another Criterion as to the Revival of Business. One resul6t of the recent election, and which may well be taken as a criterion as to the confidence in the immediate revival of business, is the great influx of traveling men already at this early date. From Wednesday up to last evening the hotel registers show a gradual increase of guests. Yesterday was about the heaviest day the hotels have known since the carnival. It was stated by one of the traveling men that 20,000 knights of the grip had left New York Wednesday, and Chi cago has had her population greatly diminished. During the last three days more commercial men have left the Eastern cities than ever before for the same period. The result of this is now being felt here. Minneapolis has always been considered a good field for the men. and many from New- York came direct here without making any stops. It is a regular thing for the clerks at the hotels to have some one come rush ing through the door, hurry up to the desk, and slap a grip down and gia.b him by the hand and joyfully exclaim: "Well, old boy, I'm with you r<jain. Have been somewhat under the weather for some time past, but I guess I'll stay with you for a while now." So it goes the livelong day. Travel ing men that the clerks had nearly for gotten appear as if resurrec' d, and strut about as if in their rue.ive ele ment, and as if it not had been months and in some instances years since they had been around. The local jobbers may well expect an elephant on their hands for pome time to come. The men come from far away, where the recent election has left confidence, and the men are filled to the brim with it, and w'"l give the buyers a hard flght before they accept a final "No." APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN. The Y. M. C. A. Recognises the Week of Prayer. This week will be an important one in Y. M. C. A. annals, and especially in the history of the Minneapolis as sociation. The national committee has appointed this as a week of prayer for young men, and special efforts will be made in Minneapolis for the as sociation and the building here. The first meeting was a mass one, held yesterday afternoon. The speaker was Rev. Dr. David N. Beach, and he de livered a manly address to the young men. The interest rf the meeting was increased by instrumental and vocal music, and President Seeley, who pre sided, made an appeal to the young men to exert special efforts this week to save the association building, and in so doing to save ihe association here, as well as the 5J.000 young men in Minneapolis. Dr. Beach's address was one espe cially appropriate lor young men. He said that in their sin Jesus could for give them; in temptation He would be their helper; in practical business He would show them the way, and in their ambitions and ideals He would fur nish them the highest and best ex* ample. He showed how manly a man Jesus was, and exhorted the young men to take Him as their living, every* day example and guide. The speaker said it was a j art of a young man's life to be tempted; even Christ was tempted, but He didn't yield. Thus it was necessary to have Him all the time as a helper. The meetings d the week of prayer will be held at the association rooms every night this week, excepting Thurs day and Saturday evenings. Thursday night, however. Westminster church will hold its regular prayer meeting in the association building, and at all the prayer meetings throughout the city, on that evening, the work for young men will be the topic. Special prayers will be offered for its success, and special appeals will be made for the saving of the Minneapolis building The leaders for the other nights, be ginning thi3 e-\ ening, will be as fol lows: Monday. Rev. It. O. Waldron, First Free Baptist church. Tuesday, Rer. J. Herman Randall, Chicago Avenue Baptist « !;urch. Wednesday, Dr. Ira P. Patch, Redfleld col lege. Rcdfleld. S. D. Friday, Rev. Peter Clare, Lake Street Methodkt C__N_. The meetings each evening will be for men, ex. opting Tuesday night, which will include women. The board of directors of the asso ciation will mcc at 5 o'clock this after noon, at which, it is expected, a call will be extended to a new secre tary. JOHNSON INQUEST BEGUN. Wrons Sig-nal Given Was the Cause of His Death. All Inquest was begun yesterday on the remains of Otto X. Johnson, who THE SAINT PAUI, GLOBE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1898. was crushed to death beneath a pile of lumber at Elevator "A 2" while at work Saturday evening. The inquiry was adjourned until this morning in or der to secure the testimony of the en gineers and signal men. From the evidence adduced either the wrong signal was given by the signal men or misunderstood by the engineer. It is alleged that the load of lumber which was being elevated to the top of the new structure was improperly fastened, and slid from the chains binding It, crushing the unfortunate man as he stood beneath it. An autopsy was held over the re mains of Johnson by Dr. C. M. Kistler. Death resulted from internal injuries. All the ribs were broken, and a num ber of other bones fractured. Johnson was married, and resided in North Minneapolis. His widow alone survives him. YANKEES IN RUSSIA. Building; Up the Country's Railways and Industries. LONDON, Nov. 9.— A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Times with refer ence to the recent visit to the United States by Prince Khilkoff, Russian minister of communications, dwells upon the great Increase of American trade with Russia. "American locomotives are being im ported, "says the dispatch, "Americans are building a locomotive works on the Volga, and are laying naphtha pipe lines in the south, while armor plates for the Russian admiralty are being made in the United States. "It is the belief that the object ot Prince Khilkoff's tour was to give the czar a report on American rail ways, which will be useful and in- j structive in the present active devel opment of Russian railways."

TURNED TO IRON. A Curious Geological Specimen Found in a Quarry. New York Herald. While William Teas was removing sand [from a sandstone quarry on his farm, near ["Three Tuns, Montgomery county Pennsyl ; vania, he came across what he at first ; thought was rich vein of iron ore. The find was ten feet below the .surface, sur ; rounded by sand, and only a few inches ! above the solid rock. Further examination ! disclosed a cylindrical mass of ore from six j to ten inches in diameter and about fifteen ! feet long. It had the exact outlines of a : tree In a horizontal position though the roots • and branches were missing. I Unfortunately, in taking the trung from i the crumbling sandstone, it was broken into : many pieces. | Mr. Teas reported his discovery to Prof ; Oscar C. S. Carter, of the Academy of Nat i ural Sciences, Philadelphia, who visited the ; quarry and found the mysterious mass was ! a ferruginized tree. The rough outside bark ; could be clearly distinguished, and on one , p'.ece was observed a knot which was en j tirely conveyed into iron ore. I One fact that convinced Prof. Carter that the shaft was part of a tree was that some i portions had not entirely lost their identity i but showed the woody texture. They were | partially carbonized, he said, resembling I charcoal. In fact, they formed an imperfect ! coal known as lignite, which is found In ; some of the Western states, and there used ; for fuel. The main mass, however, had be come brown hemltite ore. "The soil and rock of the Teas quarry " Prof. Carter explained, "once contained enough iron to give them a distinct red color. As the rain water gradually drained through the soil it finally removed the iron ' in the form of a carbonate, and the color cf the sandstone changed from red to light yc' low. "It is well known that if a fragment of wood or charcoal be placed In a chalybeate water the iron will be precipitated as In hydrate. Therefore, when the water charged with iron came Into contact with the tree an interchange of particles took place. "The sands-.one in which the tree was found was of the mescozoic age, but the outlines of the trunk were not perfect enough to determine its time. It might have been a modern tree blown down years ago and then covered by sand deposited by wind or water, as the trunk was found ten feet below the surface, and the coloring matter would come from the rocks beyond, carried by the rain. Then, too, the remains may be those of a fossil tree of great age." VERGE OF A GRISIS WHAT COMMON SENSE OF AMERI CAN VOTERS .SAVED THE WORLD ; FROM. BRYAN'S DEFEAT FORTUNATE, IN THE ESTIMATION OF NOTED AD VOCATES OF INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT. SILVER WOULD lIKIX E GOLD OIT. It Meant the Division of the World Into Two Great Camps, Indus trially. LONDON, Nov. 9.— The Vienna cor respondent of the Times says: "Prof. Suesz, the greatest of European au thorities on currency questions, writes a letter to the Neves Wiener Tageblatt, entitled 'A Word of Warning to Eu rope's Diplomats.' Prof. Suesz agrees with the English Bimetallic league that Mr. McKinley's election involves a tri umph for international bimetallism over national bimetallism, but he re gards Mr. Bryan's defeat as fortunate for the United States and for the in tercourse of the world in general. Free silver, he thinks, would have driven all gold out of America, and the in troduction of an exclusively silver cur rency in the United States would have been inevitable for an indefinite period. This would have divided the world into two camps, one the groat silver field, comprising the whole of America and the whole of Asia, and the other the gold area, including Europe, portions of Africa and Australia. "Prof. Suesz says that it is puerile to consider such questions in the light of gains and losses of mine owners, and that it is equally puerile to con sider that the election has solved the silver question either for America or for the rest of the world. Recent events, on the contrary, he thinks, have proved the existence of a general feel ing that the injustice by which cred itors benefit, and which proceeds from existing conditions of the coinage, is ever assuming larger proportions. " 'The bimetallic movement in Europe is extending,' says Prof. Suesz. 'Gold coinage has twice brought us in recent years to the verge of universal crisis. First, seven years ago. when gold production was stagnant till the dis covery of the South African gold, and second, the Bryan agitation.' "Prof. Suesz concludes with the ex pression of his opinion that Europe's hailing Mr. McKinley, whose tariff so injured foreign interests, is not very dignified and that they should rather earnestly consider whether it is not their duty to relieve the world of a state of affairs so full of dangers." An editorial in the Times based on a dispatch from New York warns Europe not to expect Mr. McKinley to allow his protectionist views to fall into abey ance, but it considers that the passage of a new tariff bill is uncertain and re mote and thinks there is likely enough to be renewed attempts on the part of the United States government to push forward a scheme of international bi metallism, "because," says the Times, "it is obviously America's interest to do something for silver." The Times also says with reference to the assertions of Prof. Suesz, the Austrian expert: "Prof. Suesz's as sumptions about the injustice of the maintenance of the gold standard have been already refuted many times." HE WAS A SMART BOY. Managed to Recover a Quarter j From a Difflenlt Spot. New York Mail and Express. "He had deposited his ticket in the box ; on the down-town station of the Sixth avenue "L" road at Fiftieth stree* j farly this morning, and was counting j his change in a search for plugged j dimes and nirkles. A quartei | fell from his hands and rolled along ! the pliuform until it lodged under the j raised step 3 which form the edge of the platform. There it lay in plain j view, but as unobtainable as the golden \ apples of Hesperides. The loser was I the picture of rage. "I don't care about the blame coin," he wailed. "I've got 'em to burn; but it just makes me mad to see that quar- ' ter there, and I can't get it." "Gimme a dime, mister," said a mes senger boy, "and five cents for ex penses, and I'll get your mun." The man regarded the boy for a mo- | ment and said, "Go ahead." He returned in a few minutes with j his form working convulsively. In his i hand he had a piece! of Scantling. The j crowd watched him curiously. From I his mouth the boy took a well masti cated wad of chewing gum. He stuck tliis on the end of the scantling and, thrusting the stick through the narrow space, pressed the soft and sticky gum firmly on the lost coin. Then he deftlj drew it out and presented the money to its owner. "Keep the whole outfit." said th? man. "Boy, you're a peach. We live and learn." and he boarded a train, his face wreathed in smiles. The face of the boy was similarly decorated. TALKING OF SNAKES. In the Wilds of Nicaragua. They Twist Themselves Into a Rope. New Orleans Times-Denio<rat. "Talking of snakes," said the man who had recently armed from the wilds of Nicaragua ; "reminds me of a little incident I witnessed ; while I was in the interior cf the little repub- j lie. It was in the section where the hills ap- I rroaeh the rivers. I happened to bs paddling | down the stream, and halted to escape the j sun just under a cl.ft' which was some thirty ! feet above the low ground,, forming an ab ropt declivity. "While I was leaning against the trunk of ft large trumpet tree near the bank of the i river, I happened to glance up at the edge of ' the ciiff and noticed a snake hanging head downward and swinging in the open space. I While I was wondering. I was more surprised ftt see'.ng another reptile climb down the body J of the first and coil its taii about it neck. ! Then there came ano'.her and anotfo r, all doirg ! the same thing, until there was a rope Oi i snakes reaching within about three feet of the j ground. Then I realized that the things were i trying to reach bottom in this original man- i ner. They did not reach low enough, and ' directly the lower ones crawled to the top and shortly reappeared, each with a small bit of twig in its mouth. When the first one with the twig reached the end of the rope the hang ing one grasped the twig in its mouth and the other hung tail down. Then a second dropped down the rope, coiled his tail about the tail of the other, and hung head down with the stick in his mouth, and a third, climbing the living coil, in his turn grasped the other piece of twig, and was suspended tall down by the first. By *he aid of the i pieces of twig they lengthened the coll until i the bottom snake touched the ground — " "Say," queried one of the interested Us- ' teners, "what became of the snakes at the top; did they drop?" f "That was just the thing, \v_en the bot tom snake was about to let go he seemed to i realize that the ones at the top would be DO nearer terra firma than before, changed ; h's mind, and, crawling up slowly, apperently j informed the others, and the' link shortened ' -:i the snakes crawled up, for the last I saw of the lot they were hunting for a piece of twist vine to make a rope ladder." PROFESSIONAL HOST. A Man Who Is Paid a Handsome Salary to Entertain People. New York Home Journal. In the employ of a large wholesale mercantile house of Philadelphia is a man whose official title is "entertain er," and he is down on the pay-roll as such. His connection with the firm is not generally known. If it were much of his usefulness would be gone. His salary Is large, he lives at one of the big hotels, he knows everybody, he has a variety of accomplishments and he is one of the pleasantest men to meet. He poses as c. friend of the several members of the firm, and when a prospective placer of a large order ap pears, he drops Into the office, and an introduction follows. The merchant asks if it would be too much trouble to show Mr. So and So about, and the entertainer replies that it would be a great pleasure. Then follow a dinner at the club, introductions to genial and prominent men of the town, and, after the theater, perhaps the visitor is given a glimpse of behind the scenes. A wine supper follows, and, after it is over, the visitor thinks Philadelphia is the only city in the world, and he subsequently comes over to place or ders, with the avowed purpose of spending the evening with his enter taining friend. RECIPROCITY TALK. Canadians Think: New Treaties Will Be Made. NEW YORK, Nov. B.— The Morning Advertiser tomorrow will say: Three members of the new Canadian cabinet were so interested in the outcome of the recent presidential election that they came to New York to study the methods by which it was conducted and to Jearn the result at the earliest possible moment. They are Wm. S. Fielding, minister of finance; Wm. Pet terson, minister of customs, and An ! drew J. Blair, minister of railways. The trio arrived a few days before the election, and left for home last evening, apparently well satisfied with the result. They do not seem to share the opinion expressed by a large sec tion of the Canadian press that Presi dent McKinley will be unduly hostile to them on the reciprocity, fisheries, bonding regulation and other questions at issue between this country and Can ada. Finance Minister Fielding, who acted as spokesman for the party, when seen said: "No; I do not see any reason why Cana dians should be alarmed at the election of Mr. McKinley. I think the chances of arriv ing' at an amicable arrangement regarding a number of questions over which Canada and the United States are at variance will be quite as good, if not better, after his inauguration than at any time in the last four years." "Then you do not believe that the fact that Mr. McKinley Is a pronounced protec tionist will mitigate against Canadian chances of obtaining a reciprocity treaty?" "I do not see why it should, for the Re publican platform declares for both protec tion and reciprocity." "The Canadian government will be pleased to open negotiations for reciprocity?" "Certainly; and will, unlike our prede cessors In office, be in earnest about it. We will send representatives to Washington at as early a day after McKinley's inaugura tion as is expedient to ascertain whether ne gotiations can be opened on the subject of reciprocity. One of the first items to be discussed will be the quarantine regulations. The feeling exists that there Is no further need for the ninety days' quarantine against cattle. Mr. Fisher, the minister of agricul ture, will go to Washington at an early date to discuss this matter. ECKELS EXPECTS PROSPERITY Recent Liquidation Has Prepared the Way for Renewed Activity. CHICAGO, Nov. B.— James H. Eckels, comptroller of the currency, today wired the editor of the Times-Herald frcm Washington the following state ment: "The liquidation of the last three years has prepared the way for a re vival of business in this country upon a basis which ought to insure stability and continuance. The immediate effect of the defeat of the free coinage propa ganda and the isms connected with it is seen in the suggestions everywhere made of preparation for new undertak ings and a restarting of old ones. Un doubtedly some of these will fall off, but the general tone of hopefulness will continue and investors will invest in those things which already promise a return of profit on the Investment. "I do not believe speculative enter prises will succeed for a long time to come. A great amount of money will come out of hoarding, but it will be used cautiously. The amount which has been secreted in safety vaults and elsewhere is larger than ever in the country's history. Much of it is In gold coin, but not a little is in the form of credit currency, such as bank notes, silver certificates and legal tenders. "I believe the national banks should issue all the paper currency of the country, and with this power given them they should be obliged to redeem the same in gold. This they could readily do if the legal tenders were re moved and they were completely freed from further silver agitation. I have no doubt that under such circum stances they would be willing to under take it." ORDERED PIE, And the Foundation for a Yonng Van's Future Was Thereby Laid. I made my first successful start in a business career with just 65 cents in my pocket," says the Detroit Free Press. The speaker was a prosperous mer chant, and naturally the company wanted to hear his experience. It was told in a few convincing words. "I had approached the junior partner of a paying business with a scheme which I had broached in desperation, not knowing whether I had the ability to carry it out if permitted a chance. I was surprised at the readiness with which it was received, and my project was accepted without hesitation. I needed money for immediate expenses, and the firm readily agreed to furnish it. At this point the junior partner suggested that we go out to lunch and finish the contract on our return. I agreed, and then foolishly invited him to go with me, forgetting the amount in my pocket. We went to an oyster house, and I ordered two stews. That took 50 cents, and the guest ordered a cup of coffee — 10 cents more. When he had finished the oysters he asked me what I was going to have for dessert. " 'I never eat dessert,' I said, and the cold perspiration started at the fear that he would see something he liked. Then a happy thought struck me. " 'They have all kinds of pie here.' Pie was rated on the bill of fare at five cents a cut. " 'I never eat pie,' said the heartless junior partner, 'but here are baked ap ples and cream.' "I looked. Baked apples and cream were rated at 15 cents — just 10 cents more than I owned In the world. " 'I never eat them,' I said shameless ly, wondering if I would kill the man or let him discover the state of my finances. " 'I will take the pie,' he said, and his life was saved. "I paid out my last cent for that lunch, went back with him to the store, signed a contract and received a check of $200 for expense money. But I have /lever forgotten in the day of my pros perity the vicissitudes of that crippled lunch." m Coal Miners Strike. JACKSON, 0.. Nov. B.— All the coal mines here are idle, the men going out yeiterday. President Ratchford, of the Ohio miners, is here holding conferences, and there was a mass meeting today, but no settlement has been reached. The miners are resisting the forty-five-cent rate, saying they can barely live in that region at the s>lxty-one-cent rate. The men have been having less than half time for months, and are suffering now. The trouble is over the differentials of differ ent districts in the state, and it is feared that the controversy will cause a general strike of many thousands of miners In Ohio.

A writer in the last number of the Amerioan Field started a very interest ing story on "Fishing in the Fox Lakes," but before he had progressed very far he seems to have suddenly recalled an equally interesting story anent the discovery of the process of making Limberger cheese. According to his interesting narrative, away back in those extremely primeval times be fore the Dutch nation first commenced to keep history, there lived in an old antiquated castle on the banks of the Rhine one Klotz Himmell by name; an individual who owned the best part of the surrounding country, kept a host of clamorous fighting retainers, observed no laws or religion except those of his own making, and passed his time in eating, drinking and carousing when he felt good and merry, and in kicking his retainers when he happened to be mo rose and mean. After many years spent in this manner, old Klotz's ap petite began to fail him; his palate re fused to recognize the piquant flavor or those former delicacies of which previously he had been so fond. Just about this time things began to get extremely unpleasant; for, owing to his fretfulness and irritability, Klotz was a misery to himself, and a holy terror to all around him. He was stone deaf, partially blind, HIS SENSE OF SMELL was all but gone. Things had come to such a pass that instead of eating four square meals a day in his spac ious banqueting hall he scarcely ate four meals a month, and then only a little bowl of mush and milk in his daughter's private boudoir, situated in a tiny turret stuck away up on a re mote point of the castle. This daugh ter's name was Mary Anne, at least that is the nearest approach to Ameri canism that I can translate from the old manuscript before me. Now, Mary Anne was an extremely good and pretty girl, doting on her old father, and distractedly fond of a good looking young serf, who used occasion ally to call at the back door of the castle to peddle fish and bananas- his name was Lym. The maidenly curves of pretty little Mary Anne, when she had some three months previously ap peared at the back door of the castle in her morning wrapper with the inten tion of cheapening a big carp, had set tled Lym's hash at first sight, although both of them were aware their mutual appreciation was hopeless, owing to the fact that society— which was just as severe and hard in those primeval times as now— forbade a maid of high degree to wed any suitor below the RANK OF A BURGHER. The old man grew rapidly worse dozen of physicians attended him night and day, and one afternoon— after a consultation of six hours' duration— they announced to the weeping Mary Anne that unless some delicacy of mar velous epicurean choiceness could be found with which to tempt the old man s appetite he would certainly starve to death. Now Lym was a youth of quick pa its and ingenious faculties; so, bidding Mary Anne cheer up, he made her promise to meet him at the same spot the next evening. Lym went home, and, while restlessly tossing on his had pallet that night, his mind tor tured by the sorrows of his sweet little mistress, his big toe struck against something hard at the fot of the bed Getting up he struck a light and dis covered a small parcel lying on the floor of his hut, which evidently had been dislodged by his toe a few mo ments before. He picked it up, and after unwrapping it, found a small piece of cheese, which he recognized as the contents of a small package he had hooked up when fishing for carp in the adjoining lake some five years pre viously, had tucked it into the foot of j his bed for safe-keeping and then had forgotten all about it. Lym took it up carlessly and commenced to turn it in his warm hands. The cheese began to emit A FAINT, CHEESY ODOR, which gradually increased in strength until Lym was obliged to open the win dow. The longer Lym handled the cheese the stronger it became, until at ] last, through sheer inability to stand ' its pungent odor any longer, he clapped i his fingers to his nose and held it tieht. j Suddenly an idea struck him: Surely, i this would be the very thing to recuper- i ate old Klotz's worn-out palate. Lym wrapped the cheese in at least twenty : covers of cloth and delivered it to Mary ! Anne the next night, with directions to open it only in the presence of her ! father. That night the old man had been taken down into the big banqueting hall, to bid his old retainers and hench- i men good-by, and thither Mary Anne hurried. Pushing everybody on one side she hurried to her father's couch, and placing the package on the smali table by his side, commenced to tear off the wrappings. With the removal of each successive layer the retainers edged nearer to the doors and windows, while the glassy look in old Klotz's eyes gradually gave way to one of in terest, followed by his presntly sitting up and sniffing the air with inquisitive curiosity such as he had not shown for months past. With the removal of the last wrapper the cheese stood dis covered, and simultaneously with its appearance an odor so weirdly un earthly and DIABOLICALLY PUNGENT AROSE that it could be seen like a pale wreath of blue smoke to circulate slowly until It filled the room, its fumes becoming so overpowering that everybody except ing old Klotz and Mary Anne inconti nently fled by the nearest exit they could find. The odor apparently inspired old Klotz with new life, for, starting up from his couch, he seized the cheese ar.d devoured it with an avidity and relish tc which he had been long a stranger, begged for more, kicked off the bed clothes, oomsnenced to dress himself, and assured his daughter that the indi vidual who had discovered such a mar velously savory compound could have anything he wanted for the asking. Mary Anne, who was a sharp-witted girl, immediately beckoned to her lover —who had been watching the whole proceedings through the crack of the door— and together the young couple plumped upon their knees before the old man, asking him to ennoble Lvm with the title of burgher, and allowing them to start housekeeping without further loss of time. The old man, tweaking Lym's nose twice (the usual method of conferring the patent of no bility in those days), addressed him a* Lym, the burgher, thus forever emanci pating him fom his serfdom and raising him to the rank of a burgher. Lvm the burgher, aa he was now called. started a cheese factory as soon as he was comfortably married; the cheese was named after him and called Lym the-Burgher cheese, which after many years was shortened into the present method of pronouncing it, and called. Limburger cheese. THE GARDENER Thought It an Orlgrinul Speech. Hut the Old Man Wanted It Amended* American Field. She was a demure little schoolma'an\. as pretty as a peach, just seventeao years old, and the eldest of a family of 16 brothers and sisters, all of whom had come into the world with unfailing annual regularity. Her ma and pa. were great people for fried chicken, and it was their practice to let the seven or eight younger*members of the family lie around the floor, gnav*in<r a greasy drumstick or dirty wing lx>ne to keep them quiet until their turn came at the table. Whenever I visited my charmer these kids were the ti rror of my life, for It is needless to st.tte I I always wore my best Sunday clothes, I and it can be imagined what an arrount I of Machiavelian dip omacy was r. q liied j to keep my trousers unspotted and pet j the youngsters at the same time. Tbe j children were of an affectionate dispo sition, very fond of me, and used to j select my knees as the vantage g.xmnd j on which to discover hidden mors >ls of gristly sweetness. I confided my troubles to a particular chum of mine, one Toby Snuffles by name, and he generously offered to keep me company, wearing a suit for the oc casion, and to amuse the kids while I talked sweet nothings to my inamor ata. He was a chuckle-headed, pan faced and most uninteresting ir.divld j ual, entirely lacking in the refined dls ! position and intellectual attainments which I possessed; yet, strange to say, on his first appearance the young lady treated my further attentions with cold disdain, and before the evening was fairly over had unblushingly apix>lnted my rival as her future daily esco.-t from the schoolhouse to her home. Toby eventually married her. He was a gardener by occupation, working at Squire Brown's. The squire was a noted horticulturist, and most of Toby's work was on the squire's flower beds. When Toby asked the old man's con sent to marry his daughter h« made up his mind to attempt a neat little figurative speech of his own, md? get ting the old man into a merry mood one evening, took the little school ma'am by the hand, and steppi f bold ly up to the old gentleman a? ;td Bis permission to transfer his daughter from the parental bed into his own. The old man surveyed the embarrassed couple for a few moments in thought ful silence, and then said: "Well, young man, I have no objec tion provided you marry her fivst.' 1 ««_, As the New Woman Wonld lave It.
