WINNING A WIDOW.

"Jotlmra!" quoth Mr. Wiggle ton, to his chief farmhand. "Well, what's wantin'?" lazily responded Jotham Hardcastle, with a half masticated straw between his teeth, as he looked up from the bit of harness he was mending. "Tho Widow Palmleaf has taken the cottage at the foot of the lane." "Tell me something I didn't knowafore," said Jotham, with more freedom than reverence in his manner. "And if she sends up to rrow the rake, or the hoo, or the spade"-— "Well, what then?"

Tell her she can't have 'em. Women are always borrowing. I knew Hobart Palmleaf when he was alive ho was a chronic borrower. I don't want anything to do with his widow." "All right," observed Jotham, philosophically, and his master resumed the perusal of his newspaper once more. "Jotham?" said Mr. Wiggleton, about ten days afterward, as he came in heated and out of breath from a walk. (Mr. Wiggleton wasn't as spry as he had been before his five-and-fortieth birthday, and the Locust Hill was a pretty steep ascent.) "Well, -what now?" "I wonder if that was the Widow Palmleaf I saw gathering blackberries into a basket by the south wall of the cottage garden?" "Kind o' slim and tall?" "Yes." "Blue eyes and hair as shiny as satin?" "Yes." '!And a little white parasol, lined with pink?" "Yes." "Reckon likely it was," said Jotham. "But," persisted the puzzled land owner, "she doesn't look at all like a widow." "There's as much difference in widows as thero is in other folks," observed Jotham, diyly.

Mr. Wiggleton was silent for a momentor two. "Jothjim!" he finally said. "Well?" "Has she scat to borrow anything?" "Sent yesterday forenoon—asked if we had a screw driver to lend—the hinge was comin' loose on the garden gate." "And what did you tell her?' "Said my order was contrary wise to lendin' or borrowin'." "Jotham, you area fool." 'Tain't tho first time you ve said so, and 'tain't the first time you've been wrong," said Jotham, with a calmness of demeanor that was beautiful to behold. "Hard words is considered in the wages, and I ain't the man to find fault. I only did as you told me." "Yes, but, Jotham, never mind tho next time she sends let her have whatever sho wants." "Said sometliin' about wantin' a man to como and hoo them early potatoes. Be I to go?" "Certainly of course. Neighbors should act like neighbors, especially in the country."

And Mr. Wiggleton sighed, and wished that ho was not too corpulent and unused to labor to hoe tho Widow Palmleaf early potatoes himself.

But he did tho next best thing ho went over to look at tho field after Jotham had hoed it, and gave the widow good advice concerning certain rocky, up hill bit of sheep pasture that belongei to the cottage. "I'd lay that down in winter rye if I were you, ma'am," said Mr. Wiggleton. "I am so much obliged to you," said the widow, sweetly. "Since poor, dear Hobart was taken away I have no ono to advise me on these subjects."

And Mr. Wiggleton thought how soft and pretty her blue eyes looked as she spoke. "Oh, pshaw!" said Jotham, leaning on tho handlo of his hoe, "winter ryo ain't tho sort o' crop for that spot. Spring wheat's the only thing to grow there." "Hold your tongue, Jotham!" cried his employer, testily. "Yes, sir, I will," said Jotham, with a broad grin over Mr. Wiggleton's shining bald head. "And about these hyacinth beds, ma'am," said the latter, recovering his equanimity, "I'll como over this evening, if you will allow me" "I shall be delighted," interrupted the widow, with a gmilo that showed a set of teeth as white and regular as pearls. "This evening, ma'am," repeated Mr. Wiggleton, with a bow, "and we'll sketch out a diagram. Hyacinths have to be humored, Mrs. Palmleaf." "So I have always heard," said the widow.

That evening, after Mr. Wiggleton had returned from discussing the momentous question of sandy soil, bulbous roots and crescents and circles, ho found Jotham on the front porch contentedly breathing the flower scented air. "A very pretty, woman, that Mrs.

talked to the gate posts if Jotlwm hadn't happened to be there. "Well, nobody doubts that, as ever I heerd on." said Jotham, with his elbows on his knees and his face complacently turned toward the full moon. "And she can't be over thirty." "So I should a-said myself," assented Jotham. "I'm glad she has taken the cottage on along lease, Jotli&m," pursued Mr. Wiggleton. "I like good neighbors." "Most folks does," observed Jotham.

And he got up, shaking himself like a great Newfoundland dog, and went into the house, leaving Mr. Wiggleton to the companionship of his own cogitations. There are times in which solitude is said to be the best company perhaps this was one of these special occasions, in tho estimation of Jotham Hardcastle.

The summer went by the great maple in front of the Wiggleton mansion began to glow as if its leaves had been dipped in blood and melted gold the asters reared their purple torches along the stone wall by the cottage under the hill, and any acute observer might have perceived that Mrs. Palmleaf had laid down the rocky bit of up hill ground in spring wheat instead of winter rye. "Jotham!" said Mr. Wiggleton to his farm hand one evening it was the first time they had had a fire on the wide, old fashioned hearth. "Well?" "I—have concluded it isn't best for you to live here at the house any longer." "What's goin to happen?' said Jotham. "You ain't goin to hire another hand, be you?" "No to bo sure not. You suit me admirably, Jotnum, ouiy"—and Mr. Wiggleton shot the words out with an effort —"I am thinking of getting married." "Oh!" "It's rather late in life, to be sure," said Mr. Wiggleton, conscious of looking extremely sheepish, "but you know, Jotham, it's never too late to do a good thing." "Certainly not." "You ought to get married, Jotham," added his employer, speaking in a rather rapid and embarrassed manner. "Think so?" "Certainly. You might live in the little house beyond the peach orchard it wouldn't take much to fit it nicely, now that paint and paper are so cheap."

Jotham stared reflectively at the fire. "And your wife could take care of the cream and butter, and all that sort of tiling, for us. It isn't likely Mrs. P.— ahem!—it isn't likely, I mean, that my wife will care for such things." "Humph!" "I'd adviso you to turn the thing all over in your mind, Jotham," said Mr. Wiggleton. "Yes, I will," said Jotham, with a little cough.

The next morning Mr. Wiggleton attired himself in his best suit and went to the cottage.

Mrs. Palmleaf received him in a charming wrapper with ribbon to match. Mr. Wiggleton wasted no time in viseless preliminary chitchat. "Mrs. Palmleaf, ma'am," he began, a little nervously, "I have concluded to change my condition." "Indeed!" said the widow, smiling like an open rose. "I am so glad to hear it." "And I am here this morning to ask you to be my wife!" pursued our hero, boldly. "You are kind, sir," said Mrs. Palmleaf, blushing, and looking prettier tlian ever, "but I—I really couldn't." "And why not?" demanded Mr. Wiggleton, fairly taken aback by this unexpected answer. "I am engaged!" owned up tho charming widow, playing with the ribbons at her belt. "Might I dare to ask—that is" "Oh, certainly. It's Jotham Hardcastle."

Mr. Wiggleton stammered out a sentence or two of congratulation and took his leave.

And when the "spring wheat" reared its green tassels on the hillside Jotham married the pretty young widow, and Mr. Wiggleton is single yet. He always ielt as if ho had been ill treated, but he never could tell exactly how.—True Flag. r.|g

A Youthful Courtier*

One very charming little incident on tho queen's arrival at Biarritz is told by a correspondent of a French contemporary. After the queen had received the golden key of the Villa Rochefoucauld, and while the band behind the arbutus bushes were playing "God Save the Queen," tho little son of tho Comtesso de la Rochefoucauld walked up to her majesty and presented her with an enormous bouquet in tho shape of a sunshado, composed entirely of Neapolitan violets, roses and camellias. "Long live the queen!" shouted the boy, enthusiastically, as he withdrew, and then liis little sister, black eyed and beautiful, came forward and presented to Princess Beatrice a bouquet of white and dark red flowers, for which she was rewarded with a kiss from the royal lady.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Pliilatelomaniu.

Tho times are hard and nobody has any money, yet £50 has just been paid in a London auction room for an unused example of tho rare 4 cent blue stamp of British Guiana, issued in 1856, and £37 was given by the same enthusiast for a used specimen of that issue. The philatelist is a strange product of civilization, and his divagations have never been quite understanded of commoner mortals. But perhaps he has worldly wisdom on his side after all. The £50 stamp may very possibly be worth £100 in ten years' time, and it may not be more imprudent to lock up one's money in rare stamps than in choice wines.—St. James' Gazette

THE CRAW FORDS VILLE WEEKLY EE VIEW

GOOD BILLS FOR SCRAPS.

NOVEL WORK OF THE GOVERNMENT REDEMPTION BUREAU.

Singular Ways In Which Money Has Been Destroyed—Fire, the Iiaby und the Pet Dog Among the Chief Agents of Destrnctiou—No Chance to Defraud.

When a small portion of a United States note is returned to the treasury with sufficient proof that the remainder of it has gone out of existence, the treasury will give the full value of the original note. Naturally the greatest destruction of money is wrought by lire, and bits of bills with charred edges are constantly coming in for redemption.

But several instances have occurred where men, in their desperation at their loss, have simply boxed up a lot of ashes, in which there was not the slightest trace of the original material, and demanded hundreds and thousands of dollars for them. Such requests are, of course, refused, and the senders are informed that their only recourse is to ask congress by special act to indemnify them.

MICE WITH EXPENSIVE NESTS

Next to fire tho young baby is put down in the department as the most destructive agent. Innumerable affidavits are received in which John Jones, or whatever his name may be, "being duly sworn, deposes and says," that his infant son did chew up and swallow the missing portions of certain $5 bills, and that the said missing portions were thereby wholly destroyed and are now no longer in existence.

The fashion of keeping small pet dogs has also been the cause of many solemn affidavits being sent to the department Your pug and your poodle seem to take especial delight in masticating the fruit and reward of the many days of severe toil of the head of the house.

The fancy of mice for $10 bills as lining for luxurious nests has been impressed upon the redemption bureau by along series of examples. Only a few days ago several hundred dollars' worth of nest lining was redeemed for a southern man who had for many years given up all idea of finding his missing treasure. There was $700 of it in the first place, notes of almost the first issue made by the government early in war times. It had been hidden away in a place supposed to be secure, and had disappeared. A quarter of a century later, in repairing the porch of the old house, the nest of the wealthy mouse had been discovered, and enough of tho fragments recovered to secure more than half of the original deposit.

Also from the south camo most of the moldy, worm eaten bills which have been hidden in bottles or buried in the earth for years. There aro not so many savings banks in the south as in thrifty New England, and hiding places are used.

But tho habit of using the parlor or kitchen stove as a safety deposit vault is not confined to any one section of the country. Neither is the custom of burn ing up this treasure by some other member of the family who is all unaware of its value. Years ago the clerks in the re demption bureau ceased to declaim upon the stupidity of such people. It has be come a matter of course with them, and they expect about so many letters every week from people who havo warmed two pair of hands with $1,000 worth of silver certificates.

FROM THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE.

There aro not many attempts to defraud the government through tho redemption bureau, and none have been successful. The sending of the two halves of a note of large denomination by different people, each ono swearing that the other half is destroyed, and asking for the full value of the note, frequently looks like an attempt to defraud, but the officials think that in most cases the senders believe they are telling the truth.

Counterfeit money comes from every part of the country, mutilated, probably by design, with requests for its redemption. It is always indelibly stamped "counterfeit" and returned to the sender. The redemption bureau is not a good place for "shoving the queer," even in a fragmentary condition.

A

There is in the treasury vault a brown wooden box eighteen inches long, afoot wide and eight inches deep, which contains paper money of tho nominal value of several hundred thousand dollars. It is not worth a dollar. Tho queer thing about it is tho manner in which it was collected. Every bit of it camo from the dead letter offico of the postoffice department. Some portion of it is counterfeit, but tho most of it was genuino money many years ago. Tho banks which issued it and the officers who signed it are gone and forgotten. It was all sent over to tho treasury department some years ago, and Assistant Treasurer Whelpley undertook to trace up the various banks and get as much as possible of it redeemed. Occasionally lie found descendants ot theso old bank officials, themselves bankers, who w«re willing to redeem some of the notes for the sake of tho signatures of their fathers, and in this way he succeeded in getting several hundred dollars' worth of it redeemed.

But of that, remaining, not a bill can be redeemed. A little of it is Confederate money, but most of it is of banks, state and private, that went out of existence many years ago. The oldest notes are dated back as far as 1812. One package contained §54,000 and another $9,000. The mystery is how so much money eould have been lost in the mail. Neither the men who sent it nor the ones to whom it was sent could be found by tho postoffice department, nor could Mr. Whelpley find any trace of them-or their descendants. The $9,000 package was sent from Brandon, Miss., to Jackson, Miss., in 1840, and the letter accompanying it shows that it was sent in conse-

Siligentofsearch

uenco repeated demands. The most fails to discover the slightest trace of any such banking company as that at Brandon, Miss., which issued tho notes, most of which aro of the $1,000 denomination. Tho notes are handsomely executed, as aro a large majority of those in the box.—Washington Post.

In a Struggle to Capture a Lunatic at Iowa Sheriff I« Killed and the Madnsas Mortally Wonaded.

DES MOINES, la., June 29.—A special t« the Leader from Chariton Bays: Frldaj morning at 4 o'clock a tragedy occurred near Chariton which resulted in the death of Sheriff Ramsey, of Lucas County, and an Insane man namod John McGlnnis. McGlnnls had been the terror of the neighborhood, but had been sent to the In, sane asylum and had come back apparently cured. He -ivas given employment on a farm at haying, but on Thursday showed signs of aberration, and about 11 o'clock Thursday night a farmer appoared In Charltou and swore to an information and a warrant was placed in Sheriff Ramsey's hands. Accompanied by Constables Nafus and Myers the sheriff went out to serve it. McGlnnis was sleeviug in the barn where ho was at work and several other farm hands were with him. It was 4 a m. when the officers reached the spot. With the acute sense of his malady, McGlnnis heard their approach. The man sleeping with him, being awakened, said: "I am the one they want I will go down and see." McGinnls replied: "No, they are after me." Both came down together. When they came in sight of the sheriff the latter spoke in a pleasant voice. "How do you do, John? My name is Ramsey. I am the sheriff." Instantly McGlnnis drew a revolver and fired, killing Ramsey. Constable

Nafus tired at the maniac, the bullet penetrating his throat, but not seriously Injuring him. He was about to return the fire when Farmer Blouse shot him just above the left eye, inflicting a mortal wound. Sheriff Ramsey was widely known and generally liked, and his death has cast a gloom over the entire county.
