of her great happiness. "You can never marry that boy," said the father, and he had the support of his wife in the declaration. There followed many tearful weeks for Alice, and weeks of worry and battle against injured pride for young Toney. The young people were kept apart as much as possible, and as the result they were in one another's company but seldom. One day the lad, not yet eighteen, became imbued with the determination to go out into the world and battle against the almost unconquerable odds which confronted him; make his fortune and then return to Alice and make her his wife. He told his brother of his determination and whispered his resolve into the ear of his sweetheart at their next meeting. Proud of her big lover, Alice yet a little girl, looked up into his face, and whispered, "I will wait for you." Young Toney left her side filled with the determination to do or die for' her sake. The world seemed as a play-

thing to the young man as he left the girl that day. Two weeks ago, twenty-five years had passed, since the lovers had met, but Alice's father who still Tesides south of Richmond, on the Straight Line pike, noticed that his daughter who, for recent years has been his constant companion, was going about her dally duties with lighter step. Her smile was sweeter, her voice more pleasant. Yes, she was happy, for she had received word from her lover that he would soon arrive in Richmond. She came to Richmond with her father a little more than a week ago, and while in a large uptown grocery, slipped from her father's side and went to her lover, William Toney, who had ar
rived in the city. The two took the first train to Newport, Ky., where they' were married and telegraphed the news to this city. The father extended to them his forgiveness, saying: "It is all so strange." Mr. and Mrs. Toney who have been visiting their school day friends for the past several days left for their home yesterday, where Mr. Toney has emassed a small fortune, not considering the large farm of which he is sole owner. Their friends not constrained, murmer: "It is all so strange."

Something will be expected in return
on election day. The saloon tout will be in his glory.
All he will need to do will be to amble
past the swinging doors and say:
"I'm for Tom Marshall.' Promptly he will be handed a glass of "suds" and he will quaff it down and move on to the next saloon. He will not need to search about the empty kegs In the back yards or cellars of the saloons
and drain the dregs into an old toma
to can. His vote will be as good as that of the man who pays ten cents
for a "short," and he will endeavor to
get its full worth la the amber fluid
and the tonic of joy.
The campaign in Indiana is rapidly resolving itself into one of the saloons against the republicans. The saloon men of Richmond say the county local
option is an infringement on the rights of men's perscaal liberty. The law in reality recognizes the right of
the individual to say whether or not
he wants saloons.
There is another phase of the ques
tion Richmond saloonlsts appear to be overlooking. If it comes to a ques
tion of vote in Wayne county the sa
loon element will have to depend up
on the republicans for votes. There
are not enough democrats to vote the
county dry. The republican voter, therefore, asks, if you are fighting our candidates in their attempt to gain office in the state, why should we not turn you down and vote to kill your business in the county? The question is fair and will provide fruit for consideration by ' the liquor forces.

This Is His Chief Cars WhiU Delving In the Debris of Sunken Wrecks. Tragie Debut of John Day, a Clever but Ignorant Old Timer.
A great deal of water has run under
tbe bridge since, in the month of June.
1774. John Day made his fatal debut as a diver In Plymouth sound. Day. a clever but Ignorant millwright, had laid nunienus wagers that, confined In
a water tight box and provided with a
candle, food and drink, he would remain submerged at any depth for twelve hours. His plan was that the box should be fastened by screws
from within to a vessel subsequently sunk and that when tbe allotted time had elapsed he should withdraw the screws and rise to the surface. His mad scheme was actually put into execution on June 22, and Day, as might
have been expected, lost his life. Not the least extraordinary part of the affair is that while he was warned bow the pressure of the water would affect bis box and greatly Increased its strength in consequence, no one seems to have so much as hinted at the danger of his death from want of air. The diver who goes down today to salve the contents of a sunken wreck, recover a dropped torpedo or execute some submarine erection or repairs has
better knowledge of the necessary risks he runs and the precautions by which he may avoid all needless danger at his work than had poor Day. Science, mindful of the great increase of pressure brought about by every foot that he descends beneath the surface of the sea, warns him to go slowly down the stepladder that hangs from the ship's side or the dock wall and to pause frequently as he does so, that he may grow accustomed to the Increase by degrees. By this means a man fit for tbe work, sound of heart and free from apopletic tendencies passes with little Inconvenience from the moderate pressure of eight pounds per square Inch, which surrounds him at a depth of twenty feet, to that of sixty-five pounds, which he must sustain after descending 150 feet the greatest depth at which his work can be considered safe. Once landed' at the bottom of the sea the dit'er has a host of things to bear in mind. Weighted as he is with brass soled boots, copper helmet and often a treble set of underclothing below his diving suit of twill and rubber, the tendency to rise is yet so great that his powers of action are very limited. He can lift a comparatively heavy weight with case; the attempt to pull down some trifling piece of wreckage from overhead will probably take blm off his feet Readers of Robert Louis Stevenson will remember how when, dressed In full deep sea costume, be accompanied a diver to bis work tbe novelist was able to hop with ease upon the summit of a rock some six feet high. But descend again he could not. His companion hauled him off head downward and propped him on his feet "like an Intoxicated sparrow." Even for such an apparently simple piece of work as drilling a hole In a rock or portion of a wreck the diver will perhaps need to prop himself against a stone or make himself secure by lashings to the object upon which he works. The great danger against which the diver must be ever on his guard is that of getting his air tube entangled. In the debris of a wreck no difficult matter as he creeps in and out of cabin, engine room and hold, among a broken and distorted mass of wood and iron. He may have been moving In one direction, all unconscious . that he is being helped by a strong current, until be presently attempts to turn and finds it vain. It is not the deep sea diver only
who runs this risk. Some years since a diver was at work in twenty feet of water repairing some dock gates. His job finished, he gave the signal to tbe boat above to close the gates that he might see if all worked well. The rush of many tons of water as the heavy gates swung to swept him between and through them. In a flash he realized that his air pipe would be caught between the massive doors and at the same moment saw his only chance for life. He thrust his heavy hammer head between the closing gates, and this kept his pipe free till he could signal for them to be reopened. The old method of communication between the diver and his helpers at the surface was by means of tugs upon the line, but nowadays the telephone or perhaps a speaking tube accompanies the air pipe at his side. And, though many divers still work in the comparative darkness, . both oil and electricity will shed their light upon tbe seene if need arise. Sharks are visitors with whom In certain waters the deep sea diver has to count. But the shark- Is not always so dangerous a morning caller as might bo thought. A dhrer at work in the cabin of a sunken ship saw, to bis dismay, a shark swim slowly In. Tbe diver had no suitable weapon of defence at hand, and flight seemed the only chance for life and a poor one at that. Meanwhile the shark

It looks pretty good when you buy it, but after using it a short time the defects begin to show up, the wood warps, the joints open, the drawers will not work, the roaches gather and the cabinet instead of being a help and a labor saver becomes a burden and a total loss to you.
