en mom than her fatherland, and that
sceaks volumes, for she was an ardent
Hungarian. She had borne her husband
0 children, and through her teaching
tbev were growing up with a fervent love
of heme ami fatherland.
The storms of February swept over Paris
and the feverish Maroh days in Vienna
itn followed ly the Hungarian rising,
while ht r character was developing from
tavtodavin strength and energy. But
when in October the revolution brought
the Huncarian anil before Vienna, her
teal for the national cause at length took
a tangible form.
One morning at breakfast, having scan-

the newspaper, sne oommencea:
"Adolf, every one is msing up arms ior
the fatherland old men, boys, and even
women. Why do you hold back?"
"Arevnu mad?" cried Sonnenfeld, half
irritated', half frightened. "What is Hun
garian liberty to me? I am a Jew. Even
if I wanted to go to the war they would
only laugh at me. I don't know how to
bold a gun."
'You can learn"
"I shan't think of it 1" cried Sonnen
feld, cutting her short. "We have soldiers
trough. I am po hero I"
The truth cams homo to Egla that her
husband was r hero very shortly. Hub
bus mine into the village, and then all
who had hitherto held back cante forward
mil joined the colors. Sonnenfeld alone
was not to be seen. He seemed to have
disappeared, nnii only came in sight again
after the last horseman had quitted Nagy
pgmetby. Egla found out afterward that
be had been hidden in the cellar and
supplied with food and drink by the cook.
Her first impulse was to take away her
children and leave the husband whom she
despised foT his cowardice. Sonnenfeld
fell on his knees and begged her to stay.
He raised his hands to heaven and im
plored her with tears in his eyes not to
leave him. and when at last the children
interceded she remained.
From that daV she treated him with si
lent disdain. That proved .more galling
than open hostility or reproaches. Hither
to he had taken no interest whatever in
the struggles of the fatherland, but now
be began to interest himself more and
more. But his sympathies were all with
the anti-Magyar party, fle hated the agi
tators who bad robbed him of his wife's
love and the patriots whose heroic courage
bended him as a coward. He could bare

grew ever paler, ever quieter. ' When the
Hungarian capital fell-and the national

To the Associated Press:
The returns are so incomplete that t
Is impossible to ditcass yesterday's elec
lions in detail. The Republicans every
where endorsed the Republican adminis
tration and in view of the losses sus
taiced by them in aimoic tverv State, it
wonld seem that Republican politics are
not being endorsed at the polls. The
sentiment in (avor of the Chicago plat
form shows a h a!f y growth throughout
the country. Perhaps our opponents
will now admit tbat silver is not dead.
The attempt to secure interna
tional b metaliism has proved a fail
ure, and it is now more apparent
than ever tbat the people of the United
States must legislate for themselves on
the financial question Free and un
limited coinage at IS to 1 is neater now
than it was a year ago. High tariff up n
a gold basis has disappointed th'ose Re
publicans who looked to it for relief.
Taken as a whole, the returns are very
encouragiog. I think I voice the senti
ments of Democrats, Populists and Sil
ver Republicans when I say the fight
will be continued with even more earn
estness until the gold monopoly is
broken and the money trust is over
thrown. The fusion forces increase tbeir per

Egln put in her room like one in a trance.
Her thoughts stood still. The time passed
away, but she was heedless of it till sud
denly she started at the sound of voices in
the next room. Her husband had re
turned, and with him How well she
knew those plenr, commanding tones as
she listened to the words of praise and the
promise of a great reward to her husband.
The Imperialists did not remain long,
and her husband went away in their train.
Egla obtained a conveyance, and, wrap
ping her children up warmly, drove away
with them to her father's bouse. Having
placed them In safety, she returned borne
on the third day and awaited her hus
band's return.
On the fourth evening after her return
she heard her husband enter the house
softly, like a thief, and like a thief he
started when his wife, candle in hand,
stepped out of her room before him. Plac
ing the light upon the table she seated
herself, and coldly and sternly, like a
judge, she commenced her examination.
"Where were you?"
"I have done a good bit of business. "
"I know if
i "I have delivered a contract for bread
and bacon to"
"You have delivered up your brethren?
You spy 1" shrieked the Jewess, flaming
with indignation.
"What do you mean?" Sonnenfeld was
pale as a ghost.
"I overheard your conversation with the
general."
"Anything furtherr" And the husband
tried to laugh.
The beautiful Jewess stood up and gazed
steadily into his face. "This further you
are a traitor and deserve to die, but I have
loved you and would not have the name
that I have borne and the name of my
children dishonored before the world. You
shall not therefore swing from the gallows,
as you deserve, for I will let yon kill your
self here upon the spot."
"I believe you have lost your reason,"
cried her husband.
For answer she glided quietly into her
room and fetched a loaded pistol. "You
must die," cried Egla, "and if you have
sunk so low that you do not understand
how great is the enormity of the crime you
have committed, or if your cowardice be so
great you dare not kill yourself, then will
I be your executioner in the name of the
fatherland."
She placed the muzzle of the pistol
against bis breast, when the wretch fell
upon his knees begging and entreating her
to spare his life.
The tragic figure stood superbly above
mm, gazed at him for a moment with un
utterable contempt and then uncooked the
pistol.
"No, truly, you are not worth powder
and shot."
She turned from him and went into her
own room, when be feverishly sprang to
tne noor and fastened it behind her.
Egla listened, and when she felt certain
her husband had gone to bed she wrapped
herself in a fur cloak and stepped out
through the long window into the nlscht.
As day broke the tread of horses sound
ed in front of Sonnenfeld 's house, and a
few blows from the butt end of a musket
soon broke open the door. Hnssars, with
his wife at their head, burst into the room
where he was sleeping.
"There is the spy," cried she coldly.
"He Is my husband, but I would see him
hanged."
Sonnenfeld, whining vainly, pleaded for
pardon as the hussars bound his bands be
hind him and dragged him forth. His
wife looked on in silence. When the rope
was placed round his neck and the end
slung over the lime tree, she swung herself
into the saddle of a horse tbat the hussars
had prepared for her and. galloped away,
followed in a few minutes by the soldiers.

TAKEN AT HIS WORD.
A Story About Joseph B. MeCnHach a
a Rival Editor.
. When William Hyde, who afterward be
came Dostmaster of St. Louis during Cleve
land's first term, was managing editor of
The Republican in that city, he threw
down the gantlet in an editorial on some
Question of local importance. It was im
mediately accepted by Editor McCullagh
of The Globe-Democrat, and a warm de
bate was precipitated between the two able
editors. The intensity of feeling grew
anace. and. as often happens in controver
sies of that kind, drifted into one of scath
intr abuse between the editors. It was fun
for the readers of the rival papers, but dls
atrreeable to the friends of the participants,
who expected that serious trouble would
result, both men beine courageous and
daring.
Finally the vitriolic paragraphs of Edi
tor McCullagh stung the other editor with
such force that he dispatched a personal
communication to McCullagh, telling the
latter that the city of St. Louis was not
large enough for both of them to live in
at the same time, and that one or the oth
er had to leave the city Immediately, and
since he himself did not contemplate an
early departure McCullagh should govern
himself accordingly.
The cool and calculating editor of The
Globe-Democrat replied by the same mes
Hentrer that he would answer the commu
nication the next morning in the editorial
columns of his paper. And, true to his
word, the editorial appeared over the sig
nature of Mack, his war nom de plume.
The editorial, which was double leaded,
declared that he had received a communi
cation from Mr. Hyde the day previous,
in which the latter had stated that the city
was not large enough to hold them both at
the same time, and that Hyde or McCul
lagh must leave town. Following this
came a lavish expression of deep regret on
the part of The Globe-Democrat in having
to announce the sudden and untimely de
parture of Editor Hyde of The Republican,
that Mr. Hyde was a man who in his long
residence in St. Louis had earned the
esteem and respect of all who knew him,
and that in his leave taking the oity would
suffer a distinct and irreparable loss. The
editorial then concluded with a long bio
graphical sketch of Editor Hyde, as if he
had died on the previous day. The satire
was even more pungent than had been the
editorial paragraphs previously puDiisnea
Tt was effective, too, for it ended the con
troversy, and both editors pursued the even
tenni' of their way within a stone's throw
of each other without further trouble.

OLD TIME CUSTOMS.
That of Keeping Warm In Unhealed
Chnrehes Was One of Them.
Nowadays, with steam radiators,
registers, double doors and screens
to guard the aisles from drafts, a
minister is still not surprised to find
his congregation smaller than usual
upon a Sunday of intense cold or
winter storm. Doubtless in the old
times, too, the weather made a dif
ference, though in all likelihood, in
that era of severe dutifulness. a
less rather than a greater one than
today. Yet, what hardships our an
cestors had to endure in winter in
their bare, bleak, bitter cold old
meeting houses I
"Ye sacramental bread was frozen
hard and rattled sadly in ye plates,"
wrote Judge Sewall in his diarv
after a Sunday in the church at
Newbury, with the thermometer
near zero. And it was not uncom
mon, not only-in the days of the
grand old justice, but many years
later, for women to faint from sim
ply cold or to become so chilled as
to be unable to rise or move when
it came to hymn time and to have
to be carried out of church and
thawed at the nearest neighbor's,
little wonder, poor things 1
We have only to imagine how a
girl of today would feel if after get
ting her feet thoroughly wet and
half frozen she wrapped herself in
a neavy cloak omitting, however,
her warm flannels and her close fit
ting outside jacket and, retiring to
an unhealed barn, sat up straight
on a hard board for three hours,
with drafts from every crack and
knothole playing freely about her.
We should exoect consumption or
pneumonia as the natural result,
and they were the natural result,
and carried many of our shivering
ancestresses to an untimely grave.
Yet; with all that they had to en
dure, women sometimes voluntarily
increased their misery at the de
mand of fashion at least, the win
ter brides did so. It was long the
custom for brides on first attending
church after marriage to wear no
outside garment, whether merely
to let the folks see their new gowns
or as a relic of traditional ceremony
akin to unveiling is not known, but
m the depths of January or Decem
ber they would come to meeting,
with a heroism worthy of a better
cause, in all the unconcealed finery
of a glossy silk or satin, with not so
much as a scarf across the shoulders
for warmth.
A characteristic story of the re
venge or a i-untan suitor upon a
fair maid who had married his rival,
relates that he being the sexton of
the church and she a December
bride he purposely managed so
that a bitter wind should blow upon
her from a deftly unstopped chink
when she arrived the Sunday after
the wedding in the customary inad
equate array.
He would " bring down the saucy
hussy's pride, ' ' he declared. Though
whether he intended to do so ludi
crously through influenza and a red
nose or tragically by means of lung
fever and an early death, the story
does not relate. But in either case
she survived the ordeal.
There were often among the
tougher and . more rigid members
of the church a few who believed all
this hardship to be a good thing
and who opposed even the popular
little foot stoves as a luxury, while
when stoves were introduced whioh
attempted to heat the whole church
they fought them with disgust and
bitterness.
One old woman, Aunt Judy Jones,
made a point of sitting near the new
stove for several successive Sun
days, throwing off or flinging open
one layer of wraps after another and
finally lying back in a state of con
spicuous exhaustion, gasping faintly
and fanning herself with an im
mense turkey feather fan. But the
stove continued to glow and the
congregation to be comfortable, and
before the season ended it was quiet
ly observed that Aunt Judy did not
seem to feel the heat more than oth
er people and had even been known
to ero up and warm her feet at the
unwelcome redhot thing itself be

The Most Ancient Books.
The most ancient books are the
writings of Moses and the poems of
Homer and Hesiod. The earliest sa
cred writings of the Chinese are call
ed the Five Kings, king meaning
web of cloth, or the warp that keeps
the threads in their place. They
contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the ethics political duties
of life. These sayings cannot be
traced to a period higher than the
eleventh century B. C. ; The "Three
Vedas" are the most ancient books
of the Hindoos, and it is the opinion
of MaxMuller, Wilson, Johnson and
Whitney that they are not oldei-
than 11 centuries B. C. The Zenda-
vesta of the Persians is the grand
est of all the sacred books next to
our Bible. Zoroaster, whose sayings
it contains, was born in the twelfth
century B. C. Moses wTote his Pen

should be his first care. For a time the
medico fairly divided his time and atten
tion between his lady love and his pa
tients.
Latterly, however, the patients have felt
themselves neglected, the lady love, who
lives in the neighborhood, monopolizing
the doctor's attentions, and when a call
was made at the sureerv the young man
was trenerallv to be found at the home of
hia inamorata. 1
So in the dead of night some waggish
folk removed the name plate from the sur
gery door and screwed it on to the front
gate of the lady's-residence.
It is not said whether the doctor relished
the little joke, but there is a marked Im
provement In his attendance to patients
since the occurrence. Scottish Nights.
One Exception.
"I am wholly a self made man," said
the gentleman with the air of money to
incinerate.
They who heard him laughed softly. It
was common report that the bald area on
the , ton of his head was the work of his
wife. Cincinnati Enquirer.

All good housemaids know that matting
should be sweut with a soft matting Drusn,

catch thsTflylnir dust that makes a mat-

sween clean, a newspaper, wet and crush

New York. November 3 The cotton
market opened weak at a loss of 5 to 9
points, ruled feverish and very unsettled
early in the session with the tendency
steadily downward and at 11 o'clock was
irregular at a net loss of 10 to 11 points.
Sales up to that time were 70.000 bales.
The principal influencing factors were
weak cables and a failure of Monday's
predictions for killing (roots over the
cotton belt to materialize. A feature of
trading was local liquidation and active
Southern selling. About the only sup
pott of the market was covering by
timid aborts who were driven in bv the
comparatively smail receipts, to day's
being estimated at 54,000 bales, and for
the week 840 000 against early estimate
of 400.000 bales.
