Before anybody knew what was hap
pening Powell drew his knife and made
n terrible lunge directly at Cloud's
throat; so say those who saw it; with
the glistening blade. Cloud dodged the
least bit and that probably saved Ids
life, for just as he did so the knife blade
entered the left side of his scalp, just
back of the temple and directly above
bit ear and he felt the warm blood run
down his face and neck.
The gash was a terrible one. It was yesterday perfecting the details of the

He and Kute Married Because They Found
Themselves so Old aud Poor.
Half a dozen men were discussing the
problem of marriage in the cafe of the
Southern society one evening.
“These yonng New Yorkers make me
very weary," said a Kentucky colonel.
“I mean these yonng fellows who, though
in receipt of good incomes, spend ail
their money in tomfoolery, and then say
they can't afford to marry.”
“I agreo with you, colonel,” said a
Maryland gentleman from Princess Anne
county. “If a man wants to marry he
never reckons the cost. I am reminded
of a story of our two old house servants.
They had both been in our family for
years. When the emancipation procla
mation was signed we told them that
they were free. We sympathized with
the north during the war, yon know.
“We could scarcely drive them away
with a club, however. They had been
born and reared on the place. Sam had
loet his wife. He was eighty years of
age. Old Kate was onr -matnmy.’ She
was sixty or seventy. Her husband was
killed dock shooting a dozen years be
fore the war. It was a great blow to the
old people when we told them they would
have to go. They did not want to leave
ns and hustle for themselves, but we
could ill afford to keep them at that
time. It was particularly hard for the
old ‘mammy." She thought we children
all belonged to her.
“Finally we compromised the matter
and let old Kate have the use of one of
the cabins and work on the place. Sam
went to live in a little shanty in the town
a mile or two away. Kate did washing
and - Sum did washing too, whenever he
could get a job—whitewashing I mean.
“We were astonished one day at bear
ing that- these old creatures, each with
one foot in the grave, had married. My
father sent me to Sam to learn if the re-
port was true. I found him whitewash
ing the wooden fence aronnd his shanty,
-'Sum,” I said, “what in the world
have yon anil old Kate been up to, mar
rying at your age? What did you do
fori"
“ ‘Why, Massa Will,’ be replied, ‘yo’
see it war this way. Ole Kate an’ I were
n talkin' an* I say to ole Kate, “Kate, we
IK)’ fool niggers. I's done live 'bout's
long's I ker to.”
“ ‘An Kate,’ she say, “I dnnno 'bout
dat, Sam, but guess yo' is tellin’ de
truff."
“ So Kate, she say os how she's ole
too, an' can't grow mnch ol’cr, ah' bow
she po’ an' can’t be no poo’er. An’ so
we 'elude to get married, kase we can'
be no ol'er, no' poo’er when we's mar
ried, den when Kate is jnss Kate an'
Sam's jnss Sam.'
“And so those two old darkies were
married,” said the Princess Anno man
“because they were old and could not
live mnch longer, and because they were
poor and could not bo any poorer, wheth
er they were single or married.”—New
York Herald.

Ton Don't Tire of Them.
There are people of whom one never
tires, no matter how often one sees them
nor how intimate the associations may
be. There is abont them that air of per-
petnal' charm and variety that makes
tbefn delightful companions. They are
sure to be good tempered. There is never
any fear of finding them in a pet, nor
prey to some ill hnmor wholly unreason
uble and unexplainable.
They are pleased when yon are pleased
and interested in what yon have to say.
They are so sympathetic that yonrills
and troubles become their own, and your
friends become so dear to them that not
for the world would they do anything to
rob you of them. Sometimes with these
bright, sweet natnres yon find the added
charm of originality, and when you come
across ancli a one treasure it and preserve
it os one of the pearls of yonr life, for
seldom indeed are tulent, originality and
good nature found combined in one mor
tal frame. A nature that is so richly
endowed is threefold talented. It lias
the talent of magnetism, the taleut of
keeping good uutured and the priceless
talent of originality, which, as Rudyard
Kipling says, is not the discover}- of any
thing uew, bat is rather a new way oI
looking at old things. And that makes
it ail the more delightful.—New York
World.
Th# First Woman.
By the way, speaking of Eve, why is
not her name, in its English and Bible
form, bestowed upon wore little girls’
Eva is common enough; it is simply the
Latin form of the name. No doubt
parents often bestow it in this form
without thinking that they are tunning
a daughter for the nanglity mother of
and all our woe. But this is an age of
tabiUtation, and Eve ha*-h%en pretty
thoroughly rehabilitated in character
herself. A great many really good wo
men ore net so sure but they wonld have
done just the same as she did wider the
same circumstances. Bnt whether or
not Eve lias been vindicated or needs
vindication she had a very pretty name.
Bestowed upcih girl or woman, and
without any final a—just plain Eve—no
name could be more charming.—Boston
