Two mischievous girls who are members of a church in town not far from Fairmont, recently figured in a} laughable incident which is quite good enough to bear repeating. Tnsome way, known only to them- selves, they became possessed of the subject of the minister’s Sunday ser- mon, and thereupon set about select- ing hymns in harmony with the theme. Sunday morning they were on hand bright and early, looking innocent enough to deceive a brace of Pinkerton detectives. One of them seated herself at the organ and played “Faint yet pur- suing,” which was sung as a volu- tary. Then the minister arose, and consulting the list which had been given him, called for number 395 The choir sang “Almost Persuaded.” The minister arose and announced the theme, ‘“Courtsbip and Marriage” read the lesson and called the next] hymn. The choir sang, “Trium at Last,” and the congregatipebe- gan to look amused. 4 r prayer sing 201” said the minister, and in his petition asked that the spirit of levity, which possessed some of his hearers, be banished, The choir then san “Hasten Lord the Glorious Day” and everybody laughed. Even the minister had difficulty in stifling a smile when the choir struck up “Behold the Bridegroom Cometh” and the congregation became posi- tively hilarious as the organ pealed out the opening notes of “What shull the Harvest Be?” And throughout those wicked girls preserved their expression of saintly innocence and afterwards decided that it was the most peculiar and striking coincident they ever heard of. Since then two hundred years have fled, And, l infer, the calf is dead; But still he left behind his trail, And thereby hangs my mora: tale. The trail was taken up next day By a lone dog that passed that way; And then 8 wise bell-wether sheep Pursued the trail o’er vale and steep; And drew the flock behind him, too, Toiled on beneath the burning sun, And traveled some three miles in one; And for s century and a half They trod the footateps of that calf, ‘The years past on in swiftness fleet, The road became a village street; And this, before men were aware, A city’s crowded thoroughfare, Beyond All Companions, One of the many factors contribut- ing to the remarkably rapid and solid growth of St. Louis is the mar- velous development of the Southwest and other territory tributary to that city in all lines of trade.

Stockton, March 16.—With their journal. The subscription price of $1.00 gives you two papers each week, 104 papers a year. Cuba Won't Permit Dons to Raise the fingers on the trigger of war Sweden and Norway stand to-day a united nation ready at any moment to give combat to Russia, their joint foe. Whether the predicted and long ex- pected combat comes depends on Russia and if that country decides on war, this spring may see the opening of hostilities. That such a war would be along and bitter struggle none willdeny and the twin nations believe they are ready. Hints at secession or civil war be tween the nations under King Oscar are sald here to be only to give an excuse for strengthening the arma- ment of each. Now, with a powerful force ever waiting the call, the two are ready for Russia’s decision. The possible casus belli is that in the win- ter of 1901-02 a Norwegian magis- trate went into Russian territory and examined a Russian subject in connection with a quarrel between Laplanders. In the pastsuch action, although illegal, has been allowed by mutual understanding. In the pres- ent case Russia ‘issued a strong pro- test against it, & practical ultima- tum. \ The line and the first reserve are now re-armed with Mausers and the artillery with Krupp 12-pounders. The ammunition reserve has been raised to 90 million rounds. For- tresses have been re-armed and their garrisonsincreased.

Havana, Maine 20.—The Cuban re- public will not give the Spanish gov- ernment the contract to remove the wreck of the old Maine, from the har- bor of Havana. President Palma, after a conference with the United States minister, Mr. Squiers, caused this information to be transmitted through proper channels to the Spanish consul general and diplo- matic agent. Theinitiative taken by theSpanish minister, Abarzuza, seeking an ap- propriation from the Madrid cortes to enable the crown to bid upon the work and undertake the extraction of the wreck, while it may be appre- ciated by those Spaniards innocent of the charge of complicity in the destruction of the old Maine, is re- garded in Cuban government circles as inopportune aud premature, and calculated to revive a question which could have undesirable results. The president and cabinet are in- disposed to lend encouragement to a position which would contribute to the weakening of their present good relations with one or the other of the governments most interested in the outcome of the new industry which the Spanish minister would have the government of Cuba authorize that of Madrid to undertake. Packers Found Guilty. Jefferson City, March 21.—The su- preme court yesterday morning in an opinion writen;by Judge Marshall decided that there was a beef trust and awarded judgment for the state against the packers on the charge of combing against the trust law of the state, to fix and control the prices of meat. Thepackers were fined $5,000 each together with the costs of the case. The packers against whom this judgment was issued are the Armour Packing company, the Hammond Packing company, the Cudahy Pack- ing company, Swift & Co., and Schwarzschild & Sulzberger. All of these companies have extensive branch houses in St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo. This will net the state $25,000 from these five packing concerns. Charges Against Hawaiian Governor Honolulu, March 20.—Governor Sandford B. Dole has been accused by the legislative committee with having attempted to cover up the robbery of the public funds. Much excitement has been caused by the charge that Charles W. Wil- cox of the board of public works has been found guilty of taking the pub- lie funds. It is this robbery that Governor Dale is charged with hav- ing attempted to conceal. It is prob- able that the governor and ex-presi- Shoots Two of His Generals.

The gypsum ledge was formerly the home of numberless wild creatures, which lived in the crevices of the rocks, using dry cow chips, sticks and otber rubbish for their neste. The whole mountainside was a mass of flames almost immediately when fire was applied, and it burned for days. Only 300 degrees is required to convert gypsum into plaster of paris, and the ledge is being trans- formed into white powder. The Oldest Twios in America. Brockton, Mass., March 21.—Mre, Phoebe Rich and Mrs, Susannah Paine, the oldest twins in America, celebrated their 86th birthday here Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Rich has been three times married, but never had any children, while her sister, Mrs. Paine, bas been married but once and has had nine, of whom four are living.

Lexington, Ky., March 19.—The most remarkable indictment ever re- turned to the Fayette cireuit court was reported when the grand jury indicted Henry Welch, a farmer, for going to church while afflicted with smallpox. A special statute makes the penalty a heavy fine. This is Kentucky's first case, The Baltimore Sun says that now weare “a two billion dollar,” and provides to the taxpayers this hint: “Our statesmen will be extravagant just as long as the people are willing to be taxed to pile up a surplus in the treasury. If taxpayars are indif- ferent to their own interests they may rest assured that congress will place no curb on the reckless expendi- ture of the people’s money,” Omaha Drinking Liquid Mud.

London, March 19.—The heaviest snowfall of the winter was reported from parts of England to-day. Rain and hail fell elsewhere in (reat Brit- ain and Ireland, accompanied by gales. Floods and great damage resulted. Between Londonderry and Colerain thousands of acres of farm lands were submerged several feet by the breaking of the sea walls, and bhun- dreds of families had to flee.
