Mrs. Mary H. Brooks, of Charlotte, the first woman ever convicted of murder in Michigan, has married D. H. Stewart, the complaining witness whose testimony was largely responsible for her spending ~3 years in Jackson prison. Simon Brooks, a wealthy resident of the western portion of Eaton county, died March 15, 1876, under mysterious circumstances. His widow, Mary Brooks, was arrested, charged with the murder on compla' it of D. H.v Stewart, a neighbor. At a special session of the grand jury to investigate the crime Mr. Stewart swore that he purchased a vial of arsenic, properly labeled poison. Mrs. Brooks, who was at his home, inquired as to the contents of the bottle, and he told her it was arsenic. Not having any occasion to use the poison on that day, he put it away. Mr. Brooks died soon afterward, aod it was proved that his death was caused by arsenic poison. The bottle containing the poison was missing from Stewart's house, and he reported his loss to the county officials. After a thorough search the empty vial was found in the Brooks residence. After three days/ deliberation the jury convicted Mrs. Brooks of murder in the first degree and she was sentenced to Jackson for life, but was pardoned after she had served 23 years. Oot 'Kin on the 111 p. ft looks as if the county treasurers and registers of deeds have the state tax commission on the hip. The statute creating the commission is silent regarding compensation for information furnished by these officials, and the law does not compel them to furnish it gratis. Many have already struck, and it seems as though the tax commissions must either have to do without the information or dig it out for themselves. The supreme court has passed upon this question in the case of County Clerk Gardner, of Newaygo vs. the county supervisors. He brought ia a bill of ¢49 against the supervisors for doing work outside of of his official duties for the state tax statistician. The court says there is no law compelling the supervisors to pay for it and that he cannot be compelled to furnish such information to state officials.

'The" weekly crop bulletin of the Michigan weather bureau says that during the early part of the week generally cool, dry weather with hard killing frosts prevailed, frosts of greater or less intensity having occurred in most of the counties of the state. In the southern four tiers of counties, these frosts were generally light and their damage confined to low lands, "b~uTovcr ttre~ remaining—partion_of the • state they were heavy and killing. Late potatoes suffered the most for the reason that they had made such slow progress during the August drouth, that they were far from being mature "~^hen the—frost struck them:—Corn cutting is nearly completed in all sections of the state, so that this crop fcuffered very little damage. In the northern and central counties buckwheat harvest is in progress. The yield is very poor as is the prospect in the southern counties, the drouth having greatly shortened the crop. Fall plowing, preparations for seeding, and the sowing of winter wheat and rye, have been quite general, but such work has been greatly retarded by the dry condition of the soil. Sugar beets have made good progress and indicate a fair crop. Apple picking is in progress, but the fruit has fallen so badly that but little remains upon the trees. The yield is light and of poor quality. . ,» I. O. O. F. at Detroit. The 75th annual communication of the sovereign grand lodge, I. O. O. F., convenes in Detroit this week. There are no officers to elect at this time. The grand sire is elected for two years and the present incumbent came into his Office at Boston last year. By the precedent of many years the deputy grand sire is advanced to the office of grand sire at the conclusion of the superior officer's term. There will be the usual grist of legislation brought before the sovereign grand lodge. There has been in times past considerable question about the admission of women delegates to the sovereign grand lodge. This question came up after the adoption of the Rebekah degree an the formation of the Rebekah lodges. The women wanted representation in the sovereign body, which legislates for them. There was a petition before the order some years ago, about 1692, and representation was re* fused. This question, it is expected, will be decided at this meeting. The parade, which occurred on the afternoon of the 20th, was a magnificent spectacle. The total number taking part in the parade is estimated at-over r»,000 people, audit took a little more than one hour for the it to pass a given point. Eighteen bands furnished the music Teachers' Certificates. The state board of education has new rules about renewal of certificates. Those holding the four-year college certificate for teaching can have them renewed for life, but they must apply 30 days before one of three regular meetings of the board in April or September at Ypsilunti or in December at Lansing, and must appear in person at that meeting with their certificate and testimonials from the county commissioner of schools, the superintendent where they teach and a majority of the school board. They must have taught three years before they get this renewal. The same rule applies to holders of state teachers' certificates and normal school diplomas from other states, where those other states extend the same courtesies to certificates and diplomas from Michigan. Preferred Death to Arrest. Surrounded by officers of the law who were about to arrest him and with the glow of a dark lantern upon his face, young Hans Boedder shot himself at Ann Arbor on the evening of the 21st, seeing no other way to escape from the penalty of broken law. Roedder is wanted in Grand Rapids on the charge of stealing a number of bicycles, estimated as high as 20. When the boy see it was all up with him he deliberately placed the muzzle of a 44- caliber revolver against his right temple and pulled the trigger. The ball seemed to have struck glancing, for it did not penetrate the bone, but tore its way out through the right eye. It is believed the boy has a chance for recovery. Large Grain Shipment Abroad. The McLane. Elevator Co., of Battle Creek, on the 19 th shipped over the C. & (>. T. R. R., direct to Portland, Me., 30 cars loaded with 30,000 bushels of oats and corn. The cereals will be shipped from Portland to England. This is the largest amount every shipped from the city. It was a good advertisement for Battle Creek as each car was placarded with large letters, composing the name of the firm and where it was shipped from. The grain was bought in several adjoining counties. Six Killed In a Kace Klot. Carterville, III., was the scene of a bloody riot about noon on the 17th in which six Negroes were killed and one fatally wounded, while two others received slight wounds. Trouble hasbeen brewing since the militia was recalled by Gov. Tanner a week ago. The white miners of the place has refused to allow the Negro miners to come into town, always meeting them and ordering them back. On the above day, however, 13 Negroes, all armed, inarched into town going to the Illinois Central depot, where they exchanged a few words with the white miners there. Then the Negroes pulled their pistols and opened fire on the whites, who at once returned the fire. A running fight was kept up. The Negroes scattered, some being closely followed by the whites up the main street, while the remainder fled down the railroad track. Here the execution was done, all who went through town escaping. Still In Need of Food. If there are any coiumittees in this state that were formed for the purpose of collecting funds for the relief of the Porto Rican sufferers, they are requested to make themselves known. The governor is in receipt of a letter from Secretary of War Root in which he requests information about all such committees in the state. He wants t h i sTn f or msttotr because—a—new— ceo: tral Porto Rico- relief committee has been formed. Continuing he says: "The urgent necessity of feeding the great numbers of destitute people in Port© Rico-stULconiiaues, and 1 hope the efforts of your state to that end .will not be relaxed. "• Arrested f»- an Old Crime. Abe Truax, of Owosso, was arrested on the 18th charged with the murder of Jack Entwisle, July 28, 1896. Entwisle's mangled body was found neSr the railroad track one mile north of that city on the above date, and it was supposed that he was walking on the track and was run over. Bnt the appearance of the body and the absence of blood near the track led many to believe that he had been killed and the body placed on the track. Truax lived nearby in a hut in the woods with several women, and the two men were known to have had trouble. His trial is set for the 26th inst. Taxpayers ai*e Pleased. The taxpayers of Mussey township, St. Clair county, are jubilant over the fact that the supreme court reversed the verdict given Attorney H. P. Jenney in the S t Clair circuit court. Jenney contended that the township owed him $2,100 for legal services tendered in collecting a drain tax. The circuit court awarded him $950 and ^osts. This sum is considered saved by the taxpayers"by~tlie decision-of-the font eia_pol ice supreme court It cost the township $600 to defend the case. Terrible Crime at Port Huron. As a result of a domestic quarrel at Port Huron, on the morning of the 19th, Judson Herrendeen is at the hospital with three bullets in his body and his wife committed suicide by sending a bullet through her temple. The terrible crime was the act of jealousy and was committed by the woman while her husband was eating breakfast, which she had prepared for him. Although the entire three shots took effect Herrendeen was still alive at last accounts. t V Disease In Michigan, Reports to the state board of health show that diarrhea, rhematism. neuralgia, dysentery and bronchitis, in the order named, caused the most sicknee* in Michigan during the week taoftprnption was reported at 20;i plicsW! typhoid fever at 94; scarlet fever fct 861 diphtheria at 2]; whooping. oougfc at 14; measles at 0; crebro-men- ^k«»«mn4fjaaUpox at 2. Had a Peculiar Taste. Warren Scott, of Beaverton, has been arrested on the charge of stabbing Abe McFaull. Scott called on McFaull about 1 o'clock in the morning on the 19|h. He was intoxicated, and asked McFaull to go to the home of some of his neighbors with him, as Scott said he wanted their hearts for breakfast McFaull tried to reason with him, when, it is alleged, he drew a knife and struck McFaull, the blade striking him in the wrist and cutting a severe gash. • 1 • • m A Golden Wedding Day 8enriee. There was an interesting and impressive service at the Central M. E. church at Lansing recently called the golden wedding day service. Sixteen people, most of whom are more than 80 years old, participated, and told how for 50 years or more they had "walked with Jesus," who, during that time had been the "bridegroom of their souls." One old lady testified "that she had been for 05 years the bride of the Saviour and would never ask for a divorce.'' Via. Eleetrle Route to Mamie City.

Thinks Lincoln's Views Were O. K. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, in reply to questions recently asked him by a New York party on the race problem, says: "To my mind it behooves the government of the United States to carry out the proposition of President Lincoln and provide a home in Central or South America whese the Negro may be induced to emigrate and set up for himself.

"You poor little K i t t y ! " said Meg, sighing," and, coming 'round to where I sat,., she bent over my chair and put her ,chegk. caressingly against mine, then added in a tone" more mocking than compassionate: "To be turned Quite suddenly into a paragoness! Oh, the shock of it! Dora, my dear, let us make her elegy. We may regard her aa having passed away from this life. You poor little thing! Don't cry, Kitty; let us look upon the bright side cf it." "There is no bright side," I interposed, with a little Bob. "Oh, nonsense!" said Dora, reassuringly. "Hundreds of things may happen. He may change his mind—that's not at all Improbable. He may marry you and die during the honeymoon." "1 have always longed to be a widow," reflected Meg, musingly and cheerlngly. "A widow," added Dora, still in a tone of reassurance, "is the happiest, freest, most enviable being in the world! Think of the independent, lovely times she has! Her relations can't tyrannize any longer. She has to be treated with respect, gentleness, deference, and great courtesy. Oh, to be a widow! Cheer up Kitty. Give her a little shake and make her stop crying, Meg." "I think it Is we who should cry," said Meg, with a comical attempt to speak dolorously. "We have no chance of being widows!" And Meg laughed again, her sweet, rippling, light-hearted littfe laugh; and then she kissed me to soften the cruelty of the laughter. Once more there was silence in t i e room. Dora sat opposite, regarding me with an air of grave reflection; Meg etood beside me, bending down to rest one elbow on the table, and looking closely at me with smiling eyes. "When does he mean to speak to you, I wonder?" said Dora at length. "And how will he frame his strange proposal? W h a t days and nights of re-, ':Oh, a thought has struck me!" exclaimed Dora, in a thrilling tone—"a truly appalling thought! Kitty, my dear, you will have to call him 'John!' Kitty, don't go—don't go; we want to talk to you!" I had turned to flee. I had my hand on the open door; but I looked around Sercely before I went. , l I hate you!" I cried. "I detest you!" And I shut the door and ran along the passage to my room. CHAPTER III. Two hours later I was seated, sewing in hand, opposite to Aunt Jane in the drawing-room, listening for the study door to open and for the sound of a footstep on the stairs. My face, as I stooped over my work and tried to escape Aunt Jane's keen scrutiny, was hot and flushed; tears were still very near to my eyes; my heart was beating fast with strangely mingled feelings— irdignation, outraged pride, excited expectation. "Kate, are you listening to me?" demanded Aunt Jane suddenly, In a tone of accusation. I started^ guiltily. I had been listening, not to Aunt Jane, but to certain sounds which ascended from down stairs—the study door's being opened and shut, two deep, grave voices in earnest talk. "I told John Mortimer that he should have opportunities of seeing you frequently," continued Aunt Jane, in her clear, level, decisive tone; "r>o presently I shall go away and leave you aloite to talk to one another. I have onlj cne thing to say to you, Kate—remember that he spoke to me this afternoon in confidence; you were to know nothing of his intentions; you will behave pleasantly but quit* naturally." With a sinking heart I sat and listed to Aunt Jane's impossible advice offered so easily. "Behave naturally!" Could I ever fcgain stand, sit, speak, look or think in John Mortimer's presence except with painful, terrible self- I SEATED MYSELF AND TOOK UP MY SEWING. flection it will cost him! He will look down at you benignly; he " " H e will pat you encouragingly on the head," added Meg, patting me herself to give point to the remark. "Be sure you say 'thank you' prettily, Kitty, my child," tutored Dora. "Fold your hands meekly across your apron and speak prettily." "Her aprons will be no more!" said Meg in a tragic tone. "Pinafores and pigtails are hence^r!'* to be dis- \ carded." "He'll bring you a ring," saM Dora. "Say you have a fancy for diamonds. Kitty. Say you prefer the diamonds to fce big." "He'll bring you tender offerings of flowers," added Meg. "And I shall be able to wear them." "And I suppose," observed Dora, gravely and very doubtfully, with much hesitation—"I suppose new he will feel constrained to say that he loves you, Kitty." My cheeks, already crimson, grew hotter suddenly. I put up iny hands to cover them. I pushed back my chair from the table and turned away with kelpies* anger, which for ,%. moment would not let me speak. consciousness, with a haunting remembrance of all that Aunt J a n e ' h a d told me? Why had she told me? I had liked him—I had liked him so much! He had been so good to me, eo kind! No one else had been so kind! I had said what I liked to him always; I had treated him as a dear elder brother, with whom I need not stop to weigh my words. If I had seen him ahead as I went to school in the morning, I had walked fast to overtake him; when, in the evening, he came to see us, I had always been glad, and had always told him so with a smile that made the words emphatic. I had alwaya been sorry when he went away; and that, too, I had told him, simply, without reserve. "Natural!" I had behaved naturally with him all my life! I could never be natural with him any more. "My d e a r child," said Aunt Jane, looking at me with sharp, attentive scrutiny, "if you wear that tragic air. I shall regret that I told you anything." "I wish—oh, I wish you hadn't!" I cried, reproachfully, with sudden passion that overcame my fear. As steps1 came up the stairs, I turned away toward the window. The window vtfts abut, as Aunt Jane preferred all windows to be. Through the hot, dusty panes I looked out at the tree tops In the square garden, and n^rer turned my head. A minute later John Mortimer crossed the room ta where I stood. "Kitty," he said, quietly. He put out his hand. He was standing beside me, his gray eyes smiling gravely at me. My eyes had no answering emile as I raised them slowly to his. It was a grave, quiet, somewhat rugged face at which I looked—a face at the same time stern and gentle. The 'ay eyes were deeply set, beneath level, thickly penciled brows; they smiled rarely—and, when they smiled, the smile was more grave than merry. He was still a comparatively young man, though Dora and Meg always spoke of him as though he were their father's comtemporary. He was thirty- five—no more; but his dark hair, his short, brown beard were already touched with .gray; and his face, his voice, his manner were alf older than his years. "What is happening down there?" he asked, taking up his stand beside me and following my glance. My eyes were fixed intently on the dusty railings of the square garden. Around the corner of the square came a sad-looking man, with a sunbrowned face, bearing an old organ and a very wizened, mournful little monkey. "Will he stop?" I exclaimed, with sudden well-simulated eagerness. "No —yes! Yes, he is going to stop!" "Kitty, what a child you a r e ! " said John Mortimer, in a quiet, wondering, half-tender tone; and the tone or the words sent the hot blood rushing to my cheeks and eat all my pulses throbbing. "I know I am a child," I said quietly, almost fiercely. "I like being a child. I don't want to grow up. I will be a child as long as ever I can be." He was looking down at me with an observant glance, though I looked so steadily away from him. There was a suspicion of laughter In his voice when,'after a moment, he spoke again. "In spite of yourself, Kitty, age is creeping upon you. In our mothers' and grandmothers' days seventeen, 1 believe, was a very mature age, indeed." "But not now," I said eagerly, with too much earnestness. "Seventeen Is nothing nowadays. You're only eld enough at seventeen to go in for senior Cambridge examinations. If you want to go to college, you can't—they won't have ycu because you're so young. Holloway will take you, but Girton and Newham won't. Do you know how old our sixth form girls are?

T h e Transvaal adheres to the seven years' franchise law, b a t is willing' to consider and if necessary to adopt any suggestions Great Britain may make with regard to the working of the law. In regard to the other points of Mr. Chamberlain's dispatch, the Transvaal boldly stands by the London convention. I t Is said that the reply is coached in polite terms. State Secretary Reitz, in the course of an interview, expressed some doubt as to w h e t h e r any alteration would be made in the existing franchise law, but said he believed a way should and could be found to establish an arbitration court. "As to suzerainty, the least said the soonest mended," remarked the state secretary. In the forecasts of President Kruger's reply there is undoubtedly a large basis of t r u t h which seems to bring the dispute within a measurable distance of war. ft Although my face was turned toward the dusty, vjut-of-door world, and rny ba'frfc' toward the drawing-room, I wa« coh^cTous^t\^at'TJhcTe'"RTchafa hadbeen" sent away fry Aunt Jane, and that Aunt Jane v a s preparing to follow him. In another minute we were left alone. My cheeks * c r e burning, my heart was beating a'fc^rily at the consciousness of why we wer* left alone. "I never realized before the extreme youthfulness of seventeen," said John Mortimer gravely. But, looking around at him, I caught the amused smile with which he was regarding me. "Why have I made you so indignant, Kitty?" he continued, in a different tone. "Why have I brought this severe lecture upon myself? Is it all apropos of the organm a n ? " "It's apropos of nothing."* "I knew an old man of seventy-seven once who could never pass a Punch and Judy in the street. If he came in only for the end of the performance, he would trudge along with the urchins to the next street to hear the beginning. If seventy-seven takes delight in a Punch and Judy, seventeen may surely be allowed an organ-man and a monkey. Did I imply otherwise? If I did. I retract." He opened the window as he spoke and threw out a little silver coin, which the organ-man. smiling suddenly but somewhat sadly, moved hastily to secure. The window, once opened, remained open; the room was a little less stifling than before. A soft evening breeze that was almost cool stole in. Across the square, beyond the houses, the sky was red; indoors the light was beginning to grow dim. Dim light improved Aunt Jane's drawing-room. But even In the grayest twilight it remained an ugly room. Its ugliness was/hopeless, without one redeeming feature. I seated myself at the foot of the twisted little sofa, close to the open window, and too* up my sewing, which I had dropped just now to listen to Aunt Jane. John Mortimer sat down opposite me in Aunt Jane's chair. He leaned his elbow on the arm. &i$ sat in a thoughtful, observant attitude, his head resting against h i t hand. (To Be Continued.)

It's difficult to pose as an optimist when the rent collector calls. If a man can't trust himself he has no right to expect others to trust him.

Says an old bachelor: "Women •ometimea shed tears because they think love, like beef, is best preserved by brin«." Russian policy in China has been viewed with considerable distrust, in its bearing upon the commercial Interests of other powers. A recent decree of the tsar, however, goes far to relieve the fear that Russia would' insist on exclusive privileges. The tsar, addressing the Russian minister of finance, directs that the important part of Ta-lien-wan shall be open to the commerce of all nations as long as the treaty with China holds, which is for S9 years. T h e name of 6-year-old Rudolph Becker of New Brunswick, N. J., belongs in the list of those who have given their lives to save others. The boy was playing in the street with his younger brother and sister one day last month, when a runaway team of horses, attached to a heavy wagon, came around the corner. Rudolph was near the curbing and might have saved himself, but instead he ran out, drew his little sister one side, then darted right in front of the horses, in an effort to save his brother. Both wheels passed over him, and he lived but two hours, the only words he spoke being the question, "Did baby and Nathan get h u r t ? " The other children were both saved. (Copyright 1800 by Louis Klopsch.) So Solomon, by one stroke, set forth the imperial character of a true Christian woman. She is not a slave, not a hireling, uot a subordinate, but a queen. In a former sermon I showed you that crown and courtly attendants, and imperial wardrobe were not necessary to make a queen; but that graces of the heart and li:© will give coronation to auy woman. I showed you at some length that woman's position was higher in the world than man's, and that although she had often been denied the right of suffrage, she always did vote and always would vote by her Influence, and that her chief desire ought to be that she should have grace rightly to rule in the dominion which she has already won. I began an enumeration of some of her rights, and now I resume the subject. In the first place, woman has the special end the superlative right of blessing and comforting the sick. W"hat land, what street, what house, has not felt tho smltings of disease? Te-ns of thousands of sick-beds! W h a t shall we do with them? Shall man, with his rough hand and clumsy foot, go stumbling around the sick-room, trying to soothe the distracted nerves and alleviate the pains of the distressed patient? The young man at college may scoff at the idea of being under maternal influences, but at the first blast of typhoid fever on his cheek he says, "Where is mother?" Walter Scott wrote partly in satire and partly iri compliment: . alio through «11 of our war with Spain —women heroic on the field, braving death and wounds to reach t h e fallen, watching by their fever cots in t h e West Indian hospitals, or on t h e troopships, or in our smitten home-camps. Men did their work with shot and ehell and carbine and howitzer; women Cld their work with socks and slippers and bandtages and warm drinks a n d Script u r e texts and gentle stroking* of t h e hot temples and stories of t h a t land where they never have any pain. Men knelt down over the wounded and said, "On which side did you fight?" Women knelt down over the wounded an,d said, "Where are you hurt? W h a t nice thing cau I make for you to e a t ? What makes you cry?" Tonight while we men are sound asleep in our beds, there will be a light in yonder.loft; there will be groaning down the dark alley; there will be cries of distress In that cellar. Men will sleep, and women will watch. beautiful aouae of her father, fr.o:n which you brought her ten, twenty, o r thirty years ago. Yeai laid: "Well. this is the happiest day of my IKe. I a m glad I have got from undt • my burden. My v/lfo don* care—I don't care." At tho moment you were exhausted God sent you a Deborah to meet the host of Amalekites and scatter them like chaff over the plain. There are sometimes women who sit JOHN C. HUBlNGEPw.

Among the leader* of the progressive* element for which the midle wet-it is fuuious, Mr. John C. llubinger, of Keokuk, lu., reigns without a |**er. As a manufacturer, as an eiitei-prising-capitalist aiul as a philanthropist his fame reading sentimental no.sle, and who ha* spread over many stutr#, and hi* Swimming a river in the face of the foe was one of the most talked-of bits of heroism in the Philippine war. It fully merited the applause given it. But what are we to say to the railroad watchman who swam a raging torrent a t the risk of his life to signal a train and save the lives of j-ts passengers, who refused ^he purse of gold offered then swam back through the angry waters to save another train? There Tras no excitement of battle to nerve him to his task; no glory; no hope of promotion; no mention in the bulletins, nothing but a meagre three-line item in the papers—and his sense of ekrty. Yet who can say the obscure watchman was less of a hero than the soldier? 0 woman, In our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy and hard to please; When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou. I think the most pathetic passage in all the Bible is the description of the lad who went, out to the harvest field of Shunem and got sunstruck—pressing his hands on his.temples and crying out: "Oh, my head! my head!" And they said: "Carry him to his mother." And then the record is: "He sat on her knees till noon, and then died." It is an awful thing to be ill away from home in a strange hotel, once in a while men coming in to look at you, holding their hapd over their mouth Fortear they will Tatch How roughly they turn you in bed. How loudly they talk. How you long Again: woman lias a special right to take care of the poor. There are hundreds and thousands of them all over the land. There Is a kind of work that men cannot do for the poor. Here comes a group of little barefoot children to the door of the Dorcas Society. They need to be clothed and provided for. Which of these directors of banks would know how many yards it would take to make that little girl a dress? WThich of these masculine hands could fit a hat to that little girl's head? Which of the wise men would know how to tie on that new pair of shoes? Man sometimes gives his charity in a rough way, and It falls like the fruit of a tree in the East, which •fruit comes down so heavily that It breaks the skull of the man who is trying to gather it. But woman glides so softly into the house of destitution, and finds out all the sorrows of the place, end puts so quietly the donation on the table, that all the family come out on the front steps as she departs, expecting that from under her shawl she will thrust out two wings and go right up toward heaven, from whence she sterns to have come down. 0, Christian young woman! if you would make yourself happy, and win the blessing of Christ, go out among the destitute. A loaf of bread or a bundle of socks may make a homely load to carry, but the angels of God will come out to watch, and the Lord Almighty will give his messenger hosts a charge^ saying, "Look after that woman; canopy her with your wings, and shelter her from all h a r m ; " and while you are seated in the house of destitution and suffering, the little ones around the room will whisper, "Who is she?" "Ain't she beautiful!" and if you will listen right sharply, you will hear dripping down through the leaky roof, and rolling over the rotten 'Tr.-|-gta1rs7The ""affget-chTnT"~Oiar ©BooTT Bethlehem: *'Glory to God in the wish that they had some grand field In which to display their Christian powers. What grand and glorious things they could do If they only had an opportunity! My sister, you need not wait for any such time. A crisis will come in your affairs. There will be a Thermopylae in your own household where God will tell you to stand. There are scores and hundreds of households today where as much bravery and courage are demanded of women as was exhibited by Grace Darling, or Marie Antoinette, or Joan of Arc. Again, I remark it is woman's right to bring to us the kingdom of heaven. It is easier for a woman to be a Christian than for a man. Why? You say she is weaker. No. Her heart is more responsive to the pleadings of divine love. She Is In vast majority. The fact that she can more easily become a Christian I prove by the statement that three-fourths of the members of churches in all Christendom are wornfinancial enterprises have developed many obscure towns into "progressive, thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr. 11 ubVnger, although' but 47 years of age, can look back upon scores of commercial victories, each one of which has benefited mankind, for hi* liberality is as bountiful us his business sagacity is murvelous.

I know When the Joint, High commission •suspended its sittings at Washington. "ast February, it was with the expectation Of reassembling at Quebec on August 2nd. But the main question at issue, that of the Alaskan boundary, h a s not been brought any-nearer a-settlement by the intervening negotiations, and the meeting of the commission has therefore been postponed to a later date, not yet named. Canada wishes to secure port privileges on the Lynn canal, so a s to obtain access to t h e Pacific; but the American claim, tinder the treaty of 1825, between Russ i a and England, is for a continuous s t r i p of territory following the windings of the coast. Just as the situation seemed hopeless, t h e British governm e n t resumed direct negotiations, on t h e basis of an American proposition, once rejected, which may furnish a way oujpOf t h e difficulty. w _ " Life's pathos and humor are often •commingled, a a d the contrast is not always so violent a s to pain or shock by " i t s incongruity. One of the rules of the •New York Floating hospital prohibits t h e giving of food to ailing infants t h a t is not prescribed by the attending physician. As the vessel beared the city after a i-ecent trip seaward, a watchful nurse came suddenly upon two email girls and their baby brother. A frightened, furtive hiding of something In a paper bag awakened her suspicion. She Investigated, and found t h a t the children had been attempting t o foed the baby with fragments of lobster and cucumber. Stern questioning brought a tearful confession from the frightened children. Baby's too rapid oonvilescence threatened to deprive t h e m of further delightful outings in the hospital, and t - prevent this they concluded to give him a convenient relapee. "But," said the horrified nurse, "baby might have died!" "Oh, no, mi«s," wae the eager reply, "we know- • d he wouldn't die. 'Deed we did, miss —ail our family i t so strong in their instdes," one such who went away from one of the brightest of homes, for several weeks' business absence at the West. A telegram came at midntgltf t h a t he was on his death-bed far away from home. By express t r a i n t h e wife and daughters went westward; but they went too late. He feared, not to die, but he was in an agony to live until his family got there. He tried to bribe the doctor to make him live a little while longer. He said: "I am willing to die, but not alone." But the pulses fluttered, the eyes, closed and the heart stopped. The express trains met in the midnight; wife and daughters going westward-—lifeless remains of husband and father coming eastward, Oh, it was a sad, pitiful, overwhelming spectacle! When we are sick, we want to be sick at home. When the time comes for us to die, we want to die at home. In our Civil War, men cast t'te cannon, men fashioned the musketry, men cried to the hosts, 'Forward, march!" men hurled their battalions on the sharp edges of the enemy, crying, "Charge! charge!" but woman scraped the lint, woman administered the cordials, woman watched by the dying couch, woman wrote the last message to the home circle, woman wept at the solitary burial, attended by herself and four men with a spade. We greeted the generals home with brass bands and triumphal arches and wild huzzas; but the story is too good to be written anywhere, save, in the chronicles of heaven, of Mrs. Brady, who came down among the sick in the swamps of tho Chlckahomlny; of Annie Ross, in the cooper-shop hospital; of Margaret Breckinridge, who came to men who had been for weeks with their wounds undressed—some of them frozen to the ground, and when she turned them over, those t h a t Lad an arm left, waved it andvfllled the air with their "hurrah!"— of Mrs. Hodge, who came from Chicago, with blankets and with pillows, until the men shouted, "Threo cheers for the Christian Commission! God bless the women at h o m e ; " then sitting down to take the last message: "Tell my wife not to fret about me, but to meet me in heaven; tell her to train up the boys whom we have loved so well; tell her we shall meet again In the good land; tell her to bear my loss like the Christian wife of a Christian soldier"—and of Mrs, Shelton, into whose face the convalescent soldier looked and said: "Your grapes and cologne cured me.** And so it va* i highest, and on earth peace, good-will to men." Again, I have to tell you t h a t it is a woman's specific right to comfort under the stress of dire disaster. She is called the weaker vessel; but all profane as well as sacred history attests that when the crisis comes she U better prepared than man to meet the emergency. How often have you seen a woman who seemed to be a disciple of frivolity and indolence, who, under one stroke cf calamity, changed to a heroine? Oh, what a great mistako those business men make who never tell their business troubles to their wives! There comes some great IOBS to their store, or their companions in business play them a sad trick, and they carry the burden all alone. He is asked in the household again and again: "What is the m a t t e r ? " But he believes it a sort of Christian duty to keep all that trouble within his own soul. Oh, sir! your first duty was to tell your wife all about it. She, perhaps, might not have disentangled your finances, or extended your credit, but she would have helped you t o bear misfortune. You have no right t\> carry on one shoulder t h a t which is Intended for two. Business men know what I mean. There came a crisis in your affairs. You struggled bravely and long; but aftei- a while there came a day when you said: "Here I shall have to stop," and you called In your partners, and you called in the most prominent men in your employ, and you said: " W e have got to stop." You left the store suddenly. You could hardly make up your mlad to pass through the street and over on the ferry-boat. Y o u fe\t everybody would be looking at you, and blaming you, and denouncing you. You hastened home. You told your wife all about the affair. What <?Id i h e say? Did she play the butterfly? Did 'she talk about the silks and tho ribbons and the fashions? No. Sl»a came up to the emergency, flho quailed not under the fctroke. She ofTi/fid to go out of the comfortable house Into a smaller one, and wefij* t h o old cloak another winter. 8he was the one who understood your affairs without blaming you. You looked upon what you thought waa a thin, weak woman'a arm holding you up; but while you looked at t h a t arm there cam« into the feeble muscles of It t h e strength of the eternal God. No chiding; no fretting; no telling you about the back to God. I' may stand here and say the soul is immortal. There is a man who will deny it. I may stand here and say we are lost and undone without Christ. There is a man who will contradict It. I may titand here and say there will be a judgment day after a while. Yonder is some one who will dispute it. But a Christian woman in a Christian household, living in the faith and the consistency of Christ's gospel—nobody can refute that. The greatest sermons are not preached on celebrated platforms; they are preached with an audience of two or three, and in private home life. A consistent, consecrated Christian service Is an unanswerable demonstration of God's truth. * * * Lastly, I wish to say t h a t one of the specific rights of woman Is, through the grace of Christ, finally to reach heaven. Oh, what a multitude of women ia heaven! Mary, Christ's mother, in heaven! Elizabeth Fry In heaven! Charlotte Elizabeth in heaven! The mother of Augustine in heaven! The Countess of Huntington—who cold her splendid jewels to build chapels—in heaved! While a great many others, who have never been heard of on earth, or known—but- little, have goneinto the rest and peace of heaven. What a rest! What a change it was from the small room, with no fire and one -window (the- glass broken—out-),, and the aching side, and worn-out • eyes, to the "house of many mansions"!

I want you to realize this morning t h a t he is now making it, and whenever you weep a tear he sets' another gem in that crown; whenever you have a pang of body or soul he puts another gem in that crown, until, after a while in all the tiara there will be no room for another splendor, and Giod will say to his angel: "The crown is done; let her up, that she may wear it." And as the Lord of Righteousness puts the orown upon your brow, angel will cry to angel. "Who is 6he?" and Christ v/ill say, "I made white in the blood of the Lamb." And then God will thread a banquet and ho wHl invite ali the principalities of heaven to sit at the feast, and the tables will blush with the best clusters from the vineyards of God and crimson with the twelve manner of fruits from the Tree of Life, and waters from the fountains of the rock will flash from the golden tankards, and the old harpers of heaven will alt there, making music with their harps, and Chriat will point you out, amid the celebrities of heaven, saying, "Shv Buffered with me on earth; uow we aro going to be glorified together."

THE WIFE AND THE STKANGE WOMAN. Arthur Sanger was head clerk in a dry goods store, Clara Heartly worked In a- tailor's shop. She had a pretty face, winning ways, and a loving, trusting little heart; so, when after .a few weeks' acquaintance, Arthur Sanger asked her to be his wife, she smiled and blushed charmingly, and soon afte;r she became Mrs. Sanger. The first bit of sorrow Clara experienced after' her marriage was one morning when Arthur tenderly Inform? «d her that he should be obliged to go to New York on business for the Arm, and would be absent three whole days. It was a sad, gloomy time to poor Clara, but the three miserable days camo to, an eiul at last, and with a light heart she arrayed herself to go to the depot to meet her husband. He would not expect her. The train came puffing In. Clara was o few steps from the edge of the platform, when she saw Arthur alight and hold out his hand to assist a beautiful, dark-eyed lady down the steps, and what was her dismay, as she pressed her way through the crowd to greet him, to Bee him draw the lady's hand through his arm and hear him say in a low voice: "Pull down your veil, Alice, aud wa.'k deliberately through the depot." For a moment objects swam before Clara's eyes, but, lowering her own reil, she followed the couple out. She managed to keep them in sight until they entered the S.veeney hotel. Then, with a heart she thought was "breaking, she goes home, how, sat/ hardly knew. It was half an hour before Arthur came; and Clara had thought it all over, and resolved not to say one word about her being at the depot, and see if he would make any explanation. He returned her warm greeting in an affectionate, but absent way, not even noticing her pale cheeks and eyes red with weeping. The next- morning, after Arthur had eaten his breakfast, mechanically kissed her abstractedly, and gone to the store, Clara went up to Utr chamber, threw berself upon a lounge, and wished, oh, so fervently, that she might die, for if her husband was really un- CHARUE, MY DEAR BKOTHER! true to her she felt that life would be a burden, and she wanted to die now before any harsh or unkind words had passed between *hem. In the midst of her sad thoughts the bell rang and a moment after Bridget put her head in at the door, saying: "A gintleman to see yez, mum." "To see me? Didn't he say Mr. Sanger?" said Clara, raising her head wearily. "No, indade; he said Miss Sanger, as plain as the nose on my face." "Very well; show him into the par,- lor. I will be down directly." Wondering vaguely who it could be, she bathed her eyes, smoothed her hair and went down. As she entered the parlor a manly form rose and held out his arms toward her. One glance of delighted surprise and she sprang into them, sobbing, "Charlie, my dear, dear brother!" Sure enough, it was Charles Lansing, Clara's half-brother, who ran away from his stepfather four years before and had not been heard from since. . . After many eager questions and answers on both sides Charles took advantage of a slight pause and said; "Sister, something troubles you; you had been weeping when you came down, and your face is pale and sad. Won't you tell me all-about it?" Clara hesitated a moment, then, dropping her head on her brother's shoulder, she sobbed out the whole wretched, story. "Have you ever told him about me?" Charles asked, musingly, after she had finished. "No," answered Clara. "I thought you were dead and I could not bear to talk about you." "Then I have an idea," said Charles, "You introduce me as Mr, Lansing, an old friend. I will secure a room at the Sweeny, so as to watch proceedings there, and then we will have rides, walks, and a good time generally, and get him jealous if we can." Clara looked doubtful and asked, hesitatingly: "Will it be. right?" "Right!" echoed her brother; "of course it will, and when he sees fit to explain, you can. But raind you, I shall watch closely, and if I find he Is really untrue to you, you shan't live wlJi him another day." Mr. Sanger was of rather a jealous disposition, so when Clara at dinner presented Mr. Lansing with such a bright, happy look in her blue eyes, he felt a pang go through his heart, and he bowed quite coldly; and there was a freezing courtesy between the two gentlemen until Mr. Sanger went back to the store. Several days passed, and Charles and Clara took particular pains to go by the etore where Arthur worked whenever they were out together. * In the meantime Arthur grew sullen, ate his meals in savage silence, and several times went to the store without kissing Clara. Charles reported that Mr. Sanger called at the hotel every day and went up to room No. 10; but beyond No. 10 being occupied by a lady booked as Mrs. Alice Austin, he could learn nothing. We know not how maJteTS might have terminated had not the fire department just then given a ball, to bo held In the hall of the Sweeny hotel. • Arthur asked Clara, with something of his old tenderness, if she would like to go. She said "Yes," longing to throw herself into his arms, and dispel the dark cloud from his brow, by telling him that Charles was her brother; but the remembrance of that dark, beautiful face in the depot restrained her. As they entered the hall Clara saw Charles waltzing with a lady, and as they came nearer the dark eyes and lovely face that had haunted her, sleeping or waking, for the past week, looked up at her from her brother's shoulder. Arthur, too, saw the dancers, and with a dark scowl, he muttered: "Imprudent!" and "the rascal!" Clara saw a sign pass between her husband and the unknown fair one as soon as the dance was over, and the lady immediately went out on the piazza through a window, while Arthur excused himself and went out of the door. She knew they were intending to meet on the piazza, and, heartsick, she staggered through; there they stood, but a few feet from her, in the shadow of a trailing vine. "Alice," her husband was saying, "it was very Imprudent for you to come down to-night." "I know It," returned the woman with a sigh. After a pause she added: "How pretty your wife is, Arthur; I wonder you can spare a thought for poor me, when you have such a sweet little blossom at home." "I can love and care for you both," returned Arthur. The lady burst Into tears and leaned her head on Arthur's shoulder. "You are the only friend I have got, dear Arthur," she sobbed. A low, gasping cry burst from Clara's lips, and she sank back insensible into Charles' arms, for he had been standing just behind her. "Good heavens, Clara; what is the matter, darling?" exclaimed Arthur, s p r 1 n g fng~to war d~ht s wife. i4And yo ur villain," addressing Charles, "what right have you with her?" "A much better right than you have, fo« you have forfeited all claim to her," returned Charles, .indignantly, as he bore her to a piazza settee. Clara soon opened her eyes and murmured: "Please take me home, Charlie." "Clara, what does this mean?" asked Arthur, bending over her, almost sternly. "Oh, Arthur, I kagw all," she moaned. "Please go away and let me die." "I see their mistake, Arthur," said the strange lady. "Tell them, dear, that I am your sister whom you discarded several years ago for marrying a dissolute fellow, but-whom you have now taken pity on." "Your sister! Is she your sister, Arthur?" gasped Clara. "Yes, darling," returned Arthur, "I see now, I ought to have told you, but I wanted to wait until I got her a divorce." "Oh, my Heavenly Father, I thank thee!" breathed Clara, raising her beautiful eyes upward. Then turning with a bright smile she said: "And Charles is my brother, my dear halfbrother who I thought was dead." Arthur understood without asking why she did not tell him so before. The next day there was an account in the daily papers of the death of Ralph Austin in a drunken fight. So Alice was free without the aid of the law. A year glices by and'there is a quiet wedding at Arthur Sanger's. Alice Austin is the bride and Charles Lansing the bridegroom,—New York News. OUR BUDGET OP PUN." S O M E G O O D J O K E S .

The entire northwest Is* being ransavked by agents of the war department in quest of horsed suitable for the cavalry and artillery of the army. The horses procured are for the mos! part brought to Chicago, where the> are inspected, and then distributed wherever there is need of them. Among the requirements are the color of the animal, its weight and its height. The owner must stand the expense of having the two front shoes removed, furnish a haiter and have the animal weighed. "It would require the animals to be molded," said a horse trader at the stockyards. "As yet there are few horses that we have received that come up to the requirements of the order, and an owner having a horse that would answer the style that is wanted by the army demands a larger price than the government offers to pay." The local horsemen state that the government will have to make some allowance on the order or it will not get the requisite number from this territory. Horses are being secured that will come up to the requirements in many respects, but it Is feared that they will be turned down by the government buyer the same as they were last year. —Chicago Chronicle.

"What is the matter, Kitty?" he asked, in a grave, kindly- tone, when lie had looked at me for some minutes. "Nothing," I returned quickly. "Do I look as though something was the matter?*' "Yes, very much," he answered Quietly, after a momenta pause. I threw my work away from me, and looked across at him defiantly, desperately, with a sudden passionate impulse to pour out in bitter words all my anger and resentment. "Yes, something i3 the matter I" I exclaimed. "I knew that," he replied, in his quiet, kindly tone. I looked at him quickly, my breath coming and going in little excited, angry gasps. And in a moment, as I looked, my flash of courage vanished. My heart was beating fast still, but beating in a frightened, fluttering way. "I ought to understand your moods by this £ime, Kitty," he continued gently. "I knew in a moment that something had worried you. Tell me all about it." Tell him all about it! I had suddenly realized that nothing could induce me to tell him a word about it. I could only wonder at myself for my own temerity for having said so much. I looked away hastily out of the window at the organ-man and his monkey and the growing troop oX ragged children. "Oh, It was nothing!" I returned hurriedly. "Something vexed me. It •was nothing—not important." It surprised me that he did not urge me any further. He sat regarding me gravely and thoughtfully. There was something of anxiety in his eyes when ing crimson, and that two pairs of eyes were watching me. "Is that true?" he asked. "Mamma says so. For some newly arisen and mysterious reason, Mr. Mortimer, Kitty is to blossom forth at once into a grown-up lady—aren't you, Kitty? She's to turn up her hair and learn how to make jams Instead of Latin prcae, Mamma, you must know, awoke this morning—or, rather, this afternoon—in a mo3t astonishingly domestic mood. She descended upon us in our sitting-room and took our breath away. What do you think she said?" "Meg, don't!" I cried helplessly. "Mr. Mortimer doesn't want to hear." "On the contrary, he's looking most eager," said Meg, provokingly calm. "From all we could gather, Mr. Mortimer, Kitty's to renounce the higher education and take to ladylike accorSplishments— Jam making and the putting of feathers into her hats. Now, what would you say was going to happen? You don't know, of course?" "I wish I did!" "Kitty, you know, was destined for a governess " , "I'm to be a governess still," I interposed. "The plan isn't changed; nothing could change it. I want to be a governess!" "You want to be a governess?" repeated Mr. Mortimer slowly, in a somewhat puzzled tone. Well might he be puzzled! Times beyond number I had confided to him my utter detestation of the post of preceptress—told him I would rather sweep rooms, make match boxes, sell apples at street corners— do anything! Nevertheless—— "I shall love to be a governess!" I declared, with steady decision. , < * - \ ^ * V *» ^/vs>» I BOWED MY HEAD LOWER OVER MY WORK. I turned my head again and surprised his glance. "Oh, Mr. Mortimerr The exclamation came from the doorway. Meg stood there, her hand on the door, and looked in a»d hesitated, evidently trying desperately to think of some excuse for hastily retreating. As John Mortimer rose and went to meet her, she came in reluctantly, looking at lilm with a half-deprecating, halflaughing glance, her blue eyes twinkling even as she mutely apologized. She stood in the middle of the room for a minute, as though hesitating whether to go or stay. She took off her pretty, shady straw hat, and shook her hair free into loose, airy, pretty waves and curls; then suddenly she banished the thought of retreating, sat down beside me on the sofa and gave herself up to the pastime of tormenting us. Bending forward a little, with one elbow on her knee, and her pretty chin on her little pink palm, she could face us both. Now her eyes glanced mischievously into mine, now #uddenly, with a swift smile, into his. And how bewitchlngly pretty she looked all the while! I found myself wondering with a sudden eagerness, and a strange sickness of heart, what John Mortimer thought of her prettinesi. "Kitty's to leave school, Mr. Mortimer," she told him presently, in an admirably simple, natural tone. "Did yon know?" I bowed my head lower over my •Tork.ooMcious that my fact was grtw" Kitty—my dear, dear Kitty! expostulated Meg. "I shall love it!" I repeated, with de fiance. CHAPTER IV. Looking up, I found John Mortimer's eyea still fixed upon me with a steady glance, half puzzled, half troubled. He made a hasty, resolute attempt to change the conversation, and succeeded; in a few minutes Meg was gaily describing our plans for summer holidays in August. She had forgotten me and the pleasure of tormenting me. "We are going to Cornwall." and she sighed. "Cornwall's quiet—that suits father; and Cornwall's cheap—that suits mamma. It doesn't suit us at all. Dora and I hate hills and cliffs; we like promenades and bands and tennis. It's a frivolous thing to confess— we don't care! We detest cheap places, and, if there's one thing worse than a cheap., .place, ilia., a qui«t place1 you also coming to Cornwall, Mr. Mortimer?" "No; I am going to Brittany, if my present plans hold good." "That's where yjnr sister lives?" "Yes." "I don't think I would go to Brittany to see my sister If I were you." "Why not?" "Ob, she don't deserve i t I don't like your als|*r, Mr. Mortlmerr-you don't mind my iWing so, do you?" Mr. Mortimer smiled quickly, yet half reluctantly. j "How did yon come to know my »Jster?" he asked. "I don't know her; I don't want to know her—I don't like her! I read an article of hara once in one of the dull magazines—the magazines that father takes in. It was on 'Girls of the Nineteenth Century.' I dare say it was very clever-^I know it was very horrid, sarcastic, superior, rhatefult She was a 'girl of the nineteenth century' herself once, I suppose, once—or is she nearly ninety?" "She is just thirty-six, Miss Meg." "Poor thing!" We both laughed at the long-drawnout pity of Meg's tone, "At thirty-six I can imagine that on? may feel a hundred!" she said feeling ly. "Still one may feel a hundred without feeling so superior about it. Father gave me the article to read; he thought it would do me good, and it didn't!" "No; you don't seem to have been benefited, I confess." "It only made me rejoice to think that I lived in the nineteenth century. Girls in the last century were much less frivolous, as well as less Independent; they thought less about their hats and dresses—made their things last—• spoke when they were spoken to, and were altogether models of correct deportment. Well, I'm glad I wasn't a last century girl! Besides, I haven't the least bit of a wish in the world to be dead and buried! I'm glad your sister lives in Brittany! Brittany's a good long way off. If she lived in London I suppose we should have to know her?" "You will be sorry to hear, Miss Meg, that I believe she is thinking of coming to London." "Oh! To live?" "Yes—I think so. She went to Brittany ten years ago to live with a very deu* friend of hers, who married and settled there. Her friend, Madame Arnaud, is a widow now; there is nothing to keep them in Brittany any longer. They are coming to England in September—indeed, I am going abroad now to help them to settle their affairs before they leave." Meg was tapping the ground softly with her little pointed shoe, and looking down at it with an absorbed, puzzled air, her brows knit in thought. "Madame Arnaud — Madame Arnaud!" she repeated. "I have heard of Madame Arnaud!" He did not offer to quicken her memory. It seemed to me that an expression of annoyance crossed iiis face. "What is it that I have heard? I can't remember," said Meg, raising her eyes and appealing to him. There was a distinct note of impatience in his grave tone as he answer ed ' h e r . - — - — "I am sure I can not say. Whatever you have heard must have been in her praise—that one may safely affirm!" Meg made a little gesture of disda.A. " "Ttrnr-iioes-Mre—beteag—to~thi& cen^ tury?" she as><<ed, after a pause, her blue eyes looking at him seriously. "Yes—she belongs to this century," he said, smiling. But again, in spite of his smile, it struck me that the conversation vexed him. He was impatient, not at ease. I had not spoken, but now I felt a sudden need to ask one question—the same question which indirectly Meg had asked. "Is she young?" I asked quickly, looking at him. "Not what you would call young, Kitty," he returned gently, in a different tone. "She is 30—perhaps a little more than 30. I have not seen much of her these last ten years, but I saw her for an hour or two last summer; she was as young then as she was at 20. She is one of those wome:i who will never grow old. When she comes to London, Kitty, you must know her. You and she will be good friends—I think so." "I don't envy Kitty," said Meg, la a stage whisper to her pointed toe. "Is she a French woman?" she asked in a different tone, looking up again. "No—English." "And she married a Frenchman," said Meg. "How horrid! Was he like the Frenchman one sees upon the stage—always rubbing his hands and bowing? Why did she marry him?" "Because she loved him, I suppose. I never asked her." "Then why assume that it was love? Very few people marry for love—except in books—or so mamma says. Not that mamma's opinion Is worth much; it's her opinion that our dresses should last two summers, and that the, second summer, if we look guys, we should be contented. All the same, all people don't marry for love—for lnataav^ I hf>nri^ ,tftf1ay^Tf"Trps;Tf>n ^vho thinks of marrying for a very different motive." He showed no enrios'ty, nor did he chow much signs of confusion. Perhaps he had4 not heard what Meg said. He did not seem, indeed, to be heedtog her; he was rising now t o go. "If one wanted to fall in love," said Meg, "one would never choose a Frenchman. Madame Arnaud—Madame Araasd? I wonder where I have beard and what I nave heard of Madame Arnaud." (To be continued.) The Lord baa Advised Knigtr to Fight. A Cape Town correspondent says: Persons enjoying the confidence of the Transvaal government assures tbe Transvaal that a fire-year franchise would secure peace, the other questions being dealt with by the reformed re* public gradually or by arbitration, all existing difficulties will disappear.

The Lord had told him to fight and he was not afraid of Chamberlain. Already to Fight. A committee of squatters on the Maxwell land grant in Colorado on the 26th met the posse of the deputy United States marshals sent from Denver to evict them from the lands they have occupied at the mouth of the Stonewall valley. The "officers were informed that two or three of their number could proceed and serve the writs of ejectment but that the posse must go no further. The settlers are organized and well armed and apparently mean business. The deputies have camped where they were stopped and are waiting instructions from the marshal's office in Denver.

There has been no official verification of these reports, but officials acquainted with affairs there and in possession of the latest information credit the reports and say there are indications that further trouble is brewing.

Joined Together 'Let Not Man Put A*nnder" Few girls practice economy a3 faithfully as they do the piano. Character is the only reliable certificate issued by the school of life. The average man is polite to a lot of other men he wou.d rather kick. The stage prompter might be appropriately termed a theatrical poster. Nickel trimmings on a stove are a source of much heat—to some people. The eagle on the silver dollar is merely to remind us that riches have wings. There is much difference between boasting of sickness and glorying in wounds. , 4 Matt. 19: 0— Skeleton* AU Over Home a» Well a* In the Cioee$. tUe Many a man who would shrink from taking a purse for profit will steal a character for pleasure. One great consolation is peculiarly the humorists—he isn't supposed to laugh at his productions. France lost her head over the Dreyfus case and other nations seem to be doing the same thing, but in a different way. The popularity of summer boat excursions is conclusive proof that men can have a good time on water occasionally. A young man named Quitman has been arrested because he refused to discontinue his unreciprocated atten- That there are hundreds and thousands of infelicitous home In America no one will doubt. If there were only one skeleton in the closet, that might be locked up and abandoned; but in many a home there is a skeleton in the hallway and a skeleton, la ail the apartments. "Unhappily married" are two words descriptive of many ft homestead. It needs no orthodox minister to prove to a badly mated pair thai there is a hell; they are there now. Sometimes a grand and gracious woman will be thus incarcerated, and her life will be a crucifixion, as was the case with Mrs. Sigourney, the great poetess and the great soul. Sometimes a consecrated man will be united to a fury> as was John Wesley, or united to a vixen, as was John Milton. Sometimes, and generally, both parties are to blame, and Thomas Carlyle is an intolerable grumbler, and his wife has a pungent retort always ready, and Froude, the historian, pledged to tell the plain truth, has to pull aside the curtain from the lifelong squabble at Craigenputtock and 5 Cheyne row. Some say that for the alleviation of all these domestic disorders of which we hear, easy divorce is a good prescription. God sometimes authorizes divorce as certainly as he authorizes marriage. I have just as much regard for one lawfully divorced as I have for one lawfully married. But you know and I know that wholesale divorce is one of our national scourges. I am not surprised at this when I think of the influences which have been abroad militating against the marriage relation. For many years the platforms .."Automobile" Is "indeed a mongrel •word, half Greek. haff'T.atin, but having come into general use, it has gained nine points of the law. and may be tions to a fair lady. He failed entirely t ot t h e country rang with talk about to live up to his name. I a free-love millennium. There were meetings of this kind held in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn; Cooper institute, New York; Tremont temple, Boston, and all over the land. Some of the women who were most prominent in looked upon aa a fixture in the Ian- Uhat movement have since been distinguage. It is included in the "Century guished for great promiscuity of affec- Dictionary," which gives examples of I t i o n - Popular themes for such occaits use in "Greer's Dictionary of Elec-; s i o n s w e r e t h e tyranny of man, the optricity" and the Scientific American.^ p r e s s i o n o f **e marriage relation, The disposition to shorten it to "auto" > w o n * » , s rights, and the affinities. is nearly as vulgar as the degradation of bicycle to "bike." A Freuchman once classified Americans in Europe as "millionaires, snobs and tourists. The millionaires spent their money freely, and sometimes sacrificed their daughter* for title. The, snobs were ashamed of their own country and eager to be known as the companions cf princes, dukes and earls. The tourists were a mob of sightseers, out of whom money was to be made at every turn." A satirical grouping, based opon sufficient truth to somewhat disturb national pride! A new international question lias been raised by recent antics of the Rio Grande river in changing its course. The river formerly flowed within a few yards of Fort Ringgold, Texas, but has forsaken its old channel and made a new one a mile southeast, entirely in Mexican territory. A treaty with Mexico, made in 1884, provides that the abandonment of an existing bed by the river and the formation of a new one shall not effect a change of the boundary. But as Fort Ringgold depended entirely on the Rio Grande for j its water supply, and as the United States requires a military post there, the matter has been referred to the international boundary commission for settlement The greatest result of the recent Buffalo conference of social reformers 'was the raising of 514,000 toward the establishment of a school of economics. It-is proposed .to create a committee of well-known gentlemen, who will undertake to secure pledges of $20,000 a year for two years. The first work to be attempted will be the prosecution of researches into price movements as related to money, trusts, tariffs, etc.; changes in wages and the number of the unemployed from time to time; and the result of the varlouE attempts of local and national authorities in this and other countries to regulate and to operate such monopolies as electric light, gas, street railways, telephones, railroads, telegraphs, the express business, etc. The co-operation of public libraries will be sought, and assurances have already been received that press associations reaching millions of readers will be glad to publish any results of these investigations. It is expected to establish a large correspondence department, furnish lecturers, at small charge abore traveling expenses for schools, colleges and eitension centers, conduct a summer school, and later, If funds shall be •ufflcient, instruction will be given during the -winter month*. The headquarters of this school will probably be fa New* York or Boston, tout a branch. at laai i s CaJcata Prominent speakers were women* with *hort curls and short dress and very long tongue, everlastingly at war with God because they were created women; while on the platform sat meek mea with soft accent and cowed demeanor, apologetic for masculinity, and holding the parasols while the termagant orators went on preaching the gospel of free love. That campaign of about twenty years set more devils into the marriage relation than will be exorcised in the next fifty. Men and women went home from such meetings so permanently confused as to who were their wives and husbands that they never got out of the perplexity, and the criminal and the civil courts tried to disentangle the Iliad of woee, and this one got alimony, and that one got a limited divorce, and this mother kept the children on condition that the father could sometimes come and look at tnem, and these went into poorhouses, and those went into insane asylums, and those went into dissolute public life, and all went to destruction. The mightiest war ever made against the marriage institution was that free-love campaign, sometimes under one name and sometimes under another. Another influence that has warred upon the marriage relation has been polygamy in Utah. That is a stereotyped caricature of the marriage relation, and has poisoned the whole land. You might as well think that you can t have an arm m a state of mortification and yet the whole body not be sickened, aa to have any territories or states polygamized and yet the body of the nation not feel the putrefaction. Hear it, good men and women of America, that so long ago as 1862 a law was passed by congress forbidding l n the marriage relation gets dissatispolygrtmy in the territories and in all the places where they had Jurisdiction. Thirty-seven years have passed along and nine administrations. Yet not until the passage ot the Edmunds law in 1882 was any active policy of polygamic suppression adopted. Armed with all the power of government, and having an army at their disposal, the first brick had not till then beea knocked from that fortress of libertinism. Every new president in his inaugural tickled that monster with the straw of condemnation, and every congress stultified itself in proposing some plan that would lot work. Polygamy stood in Utah and in other of the territories, more entrenched, more tinuen, more puissant, more bragart and more Internal than at any time in its history. James Buchanan, a much-abused man of his day, did more for. the extirpation of this villainy than all the subsequent administrations dared to do «u to 1882. Mr. Buchanan send out an army, and although it was halted in its work, still he accomplished more thaa«tke E»en at this lata day, and with the, Edmunds act in force, the evil has not been wholly extirpated. Polygamy ln Utah, though outlawed, is still practiced in secret. It has warred against the marriage relation throughout the land, it is impossible to have such an awful sewer of iniquity sending up its miasma, which is wafted by the winds nqrth, south, eaet, and west, without the whole land being affected by It. Another influence that has warred against the marriage relation in this country has been a pustulous literature, with its millions of sheets every week choked with stories of domestic wrongs, and infidelities, and massacres, and outrages, until It Is a wonder to me that there are any decencies or any common sense left on the subject of marriage. One-half of the news stands of our great cities reek with the filth. "Now," say some, "we admit all these evils, and the only way to clear them out or to correct them is by easy divorce." Well, before we yield to that cry, let us find out how easy it is now. I have looked over the laws of all the states, and I find that while in some states it is easier than in others, in every state a is easy. The state of Illinois, through its legislature, recites a long list of proper causes for divorce, and then closes up by giving to the courts the right to make a decree of divorce in any case where they deem it expeu.ent. After that you are not surprised at the announcement that in one county of the state of Illinois, in one year, there were 833 divorces. If you want to know how easy it is, you have only to look over the records of the states. In Massachusetts, GOO divorces in one year; in Maine, 478 in one year; in Connecticut, 401 divorces in one year; in the city of San Francisco, 333 divorces in one year; in New England, in one year, 2,113 divorces, and in twenty years in New England, 20,000. Is that not easy enough? If the same ratio continue, the ratio of multiplied divorce and multiplied causes of divorce, we are not far from the time when our courts will have to set apart whole days for application, and all you wi'i nave to prove against a man will be that he left his slippers in the middie of the floor, and all you will have to prove against a woman will be that her husband's overcoat was buttonless. Causes of divorce doubled in a few years, doubled in France, doubled in England, and doubled in the United States. To show how very easy it is, I have to tell you that in Western Reserve, Ohio, iue proportion of? divorces to marriages celebrated was in one year one to eleven; in Rhode Island, one to thirteen; in Vermont, one to fourteen. Is not that easy enough? I want you to notice that frequency of divorce always goes along with the dissoluteness of society. Rome for 500 years had not one case of divorce. Those were her days of glory and virtue. Then the reign of vice began, and divorce became "epidermic. If you" want to know how rapidly the empire went down, ask Gibbon. Do you know how the Reign of Terror was Introduced in France? By 20,000 cases of divorce in one year in Paris. What we want in this country, and in all lands, Is that divorce be made more and more difficult. Then people before they enter that relation will be persuaded that there will probably be no escape from it, except through the door of the sepulchre. Then they will pause on the verge of that relation, until they are fully satisfied that it is best, and that it is right, and that it is happiest. Then we shall have no more marriages in fun. Then men and women will not enter the relation with the idea it is only a trial trip, and if they do not like Ir. they can get out at the first landing, i hen this whole question will be taiten out of the frivolous into the tremendous, and there will be no more joking about the blosoms in a bride's hair than about the cypress on a coffin. What we want, is that the congress of the United States move for the changing the national constitution so that a law can be passed which shall be uniform all over the country, and what shall be right in one state shall be right in all the states, and what is wrong in one state will be wrong in all the states. How is it now? If a party Pm.W.epd.tP. D p k e j W 'A.WttVtfA That will send drvorco lawyers Into a decent business. That will set people agitated for many years on the question of how they shall get away from each other to. planning, how tfcey can adjust themselves to the more or lesB unfavorable circumstances. More difficult divorce will put an estoppal to a great extent upon marriage as a financial speculation. Thers are men who go into the relation just as they go into Wall street to purchase shares. The female to be invited into the partnership of wedlock is utterly unattractive, and in disposition a suppressed Vesuvius. Everybody knows it, but this masculine candidate for matrimonial orders, through the commercial agency or through the country records, finds out how much estate is to be inherited, and he calculates i t He thinks out how long it will be before the old man will die, and whether he can stand the refractory temper until he does die, and then he enters the relation; for he says, "If I cannot stand it, then through the divorce law I will back out." That process is going on all the time, and men enter intq the relation without any moral prin* ciple, without any affection, and it is as much a matter of stock speculation as anything that was transacted yesterday in Union Pacific, Wubash, and Delaware and Lackawanna. Now, suppose a man understood, as he ought to understand, that if he goes into that relation there is no possibility of his getting out, or no probability, he would bevmore slow to put his neck in the yoke. He should say to himself, "Rather than a Caribbean whirlwind with a whole fleet of shipping in its arms, give me a zephyr off fields of sunshine and gardens of peace." Rigorous divorce law will also hinder women from the fatal mistake of marrying men to reform them. If a young man, by 25 years of age or 30 years of age, have the habit of strong drink fixed on him, he is as certainly bound for a drunkard's grave as that a train starting out from Grand Central depot at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning is bound for Albany. The train may not reach Albany, for it may be thrown from the track. The young man may not reach a drunkard's grave, for something may throw him off the iron track of evil habit/but the probability is that the train that starts tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock for Albany will get there, and the probability is that the young man who has the habit of strong drink fixed on him before 25 or 30 years of age will arrive at a drunkard's grave. She knows he drinks, although he tries to bide it by chewing cloves. Everybody knows he drinks. Parents warn, neighbors and friends warn. She will marry him; she will reform him. If she is unsuccessful in the experiment, why then the divorce law will emancipate her, because habitual drunkenness is a cause for divorce in" Indiana. Kentucky, Florida. Connecticut and nearly all the states. So the poor thing goes to the altar-of sacrifice. If you will show me the poverty- struck streets in any city, I will show you the homes of the women who married men to reform them. In one case out of ten thousand it may be a successful experiment. I never saw the successful experiment. But have a rigorous divorce law and that woman will say: "If I am affianced to that man it is for life, and if now in the ardor of his young love, and I the prize to be won, he will not give up his cups, when he has won the prize surely he will not give up his cups." And so that woman will say to the man: "No, sir, you are already married to the club, and you are married to that evil habit, and so you are married twice, and you are a bigamist. Go!" HO!

So wo rodu into Pueblo and thence by the Denver and Rio Grande road to Denver, a fair city with all the comforts and handsome buildings of her older sisters ot tho East and lying in an altitude far above the air we breathe in our homes, a gem in an emerald setting of never yielding mountain heights. Continuing our journey over the Denver and Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western roads we started for Salt I^ke City, the capitol of the new slate, which has been aptly termed the "Mountain Walled 1'iea.sury of the Gods.' And thus we are permitted to pass through the most varied and entrancing scenery of the Rocky Mountains and to witness the wonders of the Royal Gorge, where the cunning of man has overcome the difficulties presented by Nature in her efforts at the grotesque and the sublime. These chained out attention and drew breathless expressions, especially when crossing some chasm on an almost fmpossible bridge structure with a roaring brawling stream beneath us. It is Inspiring and grand every foot of the way to Salids and from there many other decided attractions we visited. Perhaps that which will most interest a large number of my fellow carriers is Marshall's Pass, that marvr;lou3 testimonial % to American engineering skill. As the altitude grows greater the view becomes le33 obstructed. Milea of cone-shaped summits are in View. We are in and above the home of th© clouds. We see the snow covered spires of the Sangre dc Chri3to range. To our right is the fire scarred front of Old Ouray. We reach the summit at an altitude of_10,852 feet.

Dr. Somebody a few days or weeks afterward introduced into a new marriage relation a member of the household who went off on a pleasure excurEion to Newport or a business excurt-on to Chicago. Married at the bride's house. No cards. There are states of the union which practically put a premium upon the disintegration of the marriage relation, while there are other states, like the state of New York, which has tha preeminent idiocy of making marriage lawful at 12 and 14 years of age. The congress of the United States needs to move for a change of the national constitution, and then to appoint a committee—not made up of single gentlemen, hut of men of families, and their families in Washington —who shall prepare a good, honest, righteous, comprehensive uniform law that will control everything from Sandy Hook to Ooldtn Data, That will How They Bewarded Madam* 8t«r'Jn* Madame Antoinette Sterling, the contralto singer and evangelist, had an experience in the Bombay presidency, India, which is as quaint as any of Kipling's tales of the hills. She was campaigning with Pundita Ramabai, and through her magnificent voice was drawing thousands of natives to her meetings. They had never seen that kind of a missionery before, and had never heard a voice like hers. They were so pleased wjth her work that they said to themselves: "This lc a foreign womau guru, and for fear of giving offense to us she has omitted to put her begging-bowl outside of her door for us to put ln the customary contributions." In India, every guru or holy person carries a brass, wood or clay begging-bawl into which the devout put some small sum cf monoy. Madame Sterling walked out upon the veranda of her bungalow one morning, and there, to her amazement, found two begging-bowls. One, a little one, with a lew annas in it intended for tho Pundlta, and one, an enormous affair, containing a handsome sum of annas and rupees for herself. The only explanation she could ever Extract from the servant was ^his: '^Little b o w l - little money for the little Pundita with little voice. Big bowl—Wg money for big Mlssahlb with big voice.** Madame Sterling was one of the principal speakers among tho American women at the International council recently held in London. had of the Sangre de Christo ranges The pass is a scenic and scientific wonder; grades of 211 feet to the mile nre frequent.

Ahead of Schedule Time—Plan* Are MajraiUeent —Large Attendance Certain* New York, Sept. 26.—Much to the surprise of everyone in the city the Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived off the Sandy Hook lightship at 5:55 this morning. There was a heavy mist on the sea, and at LADY per month salarf, and. «U *tMB»e«. ZixoxxaCo. TirMoaoa Bldf.C&taoju ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY. first the marine observers were inclined to think the vessel sighted might be Rear Admiral Howison's flagship, the Chicago, hardly believing Admiral Dewey would arrive two days ahead of time. The doubt was soon cleared away, however, and as passing vessels recognized the flagship from Manila bay there was a continuous blowing of whistles in salute. The Olympia sailed from Gibraltar Sept. 10. One of the first large vessels to sight the Olympia was the passenger steamer Sandy Hook of the Sandy Hook line, which left Atlantic Highlands shortly after 7-o'clock for her New York dock. Just as she got well under way a war vessel was seen through the fog, and passengers and crew, headed by the Sandy Hook's captain, gathered at the rail to read the newcomer's name. To get near enough to do this the Sandy Hook changed her course--and headed directly for the 01ympia,H»k>wing, her whistle in, salute as she d^L, so. As soon as the name was made out the Sandy Hook's passengers che/ered with all their might, and in a few moments an answering cheer came over the water from the warship's sailors, many of whom were gathered on deck. The flagship rame up to the lower hay and anchored inside Sandy Hook. As soon as the anchor was dropped an orderly was sent ashore with dispatches from the admiral and other officers. He said the ship had h a d . a pleasant trip across the Atlantic and that all on board were well and glad to be home again. The Olympiads crew was put to work immediately cleaning ship. Many small vessels are sailing around her and their number is being augmented constantly. The admiral's early arrival was a matter of great concern to the city authorities who are arranging for New York's official welcome. Secretary Foster of the reception committee went to the city hall early and at once issued a call fee a special meeting of the committee. Mr. Foster said he could not forecast the committee's action, but he thought it probable the committee would go down to the Olympia at once and meet the admiral. Mayor Van Wyck hurried to his office where he found the following telegram: "Olympia arrived this morning. Will go to Tompkinsville tomorrow. "GEORGE DEWEY." The mayor advised the calling together of all the city's committees, and telegrams were sent out calling on the members of the plan and scope committee and the various sub-committees to meet as quickly as possible at the city hall. St. Clair McKelway. the chairman of the sub-committee of the reception committee, was the first to orrU-e. Mr. MoKelway thought the reception committee would wait on Admiral Dtwejr tomorrow, instead of on Thursday, and that the admiral wojiid remain a t the anchorage 0 f Tompkinsville until Friday. Then tne regular reception would take place Friday and Saturday, according to the city's program. The Sandy Hook steamer Monrr.outh passed the u.ympia early this morning arid those on board of her werV the first to see Admiral Dewey. One of the Monmouth's passengers said: "We saw Admiral Dewey quite plainly. He stood alone on the quarterdeck of the warship. Fifteen feet behind him stood eight of his officers in uniform. The admiral alone of all men on board ship acknowledged the cheers of the passenaers and crew of the Monmouth. He raised his hat continually, bowing and smiling. The snip looked in fine trim, contldering her long voyage, but the exterior of her hull was seamed with rusty streaks." Today for the first time in many years an admiral's salute was fired in New York bay. Fort Hancock saluted with seventeen guns when the Olympia passed, coming in. There was no demonstration of an official character in Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet off Tompkinsville when the news of the Olympia's arrival was received. Signals announcing Dewey's arrival were hoisted, and there was considerable cheering, which, although a violation of the strict rules and regulations of the navy, was not officially noticed by the commanding officers. It had been planned that one of the fleet, probably the Texas, would go down to the Hook and escort the admiral's flagship to her anchorage inside the Hook, but, of course, this plan had to be abandoned. There will be no action taken by Rear Admiral Sampson in the matter of saluting Admiral Dewey until the Olympia reacm.es the upper bay tomorrow. When the Olympia reaches the upper bay Admiral Dewey will find that the quarantine station will be decorated with 1,500 red, white and blue electric lights. On the terrace are letters nine feet hish, spelling "Welcome home." They are set against a natural background of green, and show white in the day time and will be lighted with electricity at night. When the Olympia, on t h e d a y of the Dewey naval parade, rounds the stake boat in North river, the school ship St. Mary's, the boys wearing their white working suits, will man the yards in the saluting custom which obtained when Dewey was a junior officer. This, it is believed, will recall pleasant memories to the admiral and will make a display that is novel in these days of steel ships with masts that are only used for military purposes. Greater New York is rapidly giving up every other consideration save that of Admiral Dewey. From ceuter to circumference the city is bright with flags. The principal thoroughfares are league-long flames lit by myriads of patriotic hands. Fifth avenue, the modern Appian way, along which there pours the city's tide of wealth, flashes with color from end to end. With a patriotism not less true or hearts less loyal the people of the tenej ments flutter their bunting, faded and ! bedraggled though it be, but slgnify- ] ing everything in the way of genuino enthusiasm. Altogether the present week will witness a demonstration of national estsem such as this country never sawbefore. Six times within the memory of living man this city has been draped I in honor of its heroes. Theee six oej casions have been occasions of national mourning. Adams, Monroe, Clay, Lin- | coin, Garfield and Grant form this i galaxy of great dead. On that sad : spring day fourteen years ago, when i the cortege of the hero of Appomatox I rolled up Broadway at the head of his j old regiments, the great thoroughfare was black—deeply and funerally black —like the bed of a Styx gone dry. Here 1 and there were flashes of color, here and there a blending of flags and crape, but the general tone was that of a deep and unutterable woe. How different is this magnificent reception to be tendered to a living hero. In all the ocean of bunting between the Battery and the Bronx there is no hint of sadnes*. The mothers and sisters and sweethearts and wives of the dead men in Cuba and Luzon are among those who will cheer I he returning hero. One million visitors are already here, and every incoming train on every road is crowded with passengers. It is expected that on parade day 2,000,- 000 spectators will be gathered along the line of march. It will be the largest crowd ever gathered together in the i history of the country. Gen. Howard has announced that the following organizations of veteians will be in his division: The Duryea zouaves, the One Hundred and Sixtyfifth New York regiment, the Eleventh regiment. Veteran association, the "Old Fighting Fifth" New York heavy artillery, the First regiment of mounted veterans and 250 members of the New York Sons of Veterans. The reception committee has established the final order of precedence. Admiral Schley will be in a carriage back with the visitors. Admiral Samp* Bon will come well up to the head of the naval officers' section, a great distance ahead of Schley, who is to be pre<iedeU'by" the naval officers, Gen. Miles, Gen. Merritt and others.

Doctor says, try it He might as well tell me to melt lard or butter and try to take them. It is too rich and will upset the stomach. But you can take milk or cream, so you can take Scott's Emulsion It is like cream t but will feed and nourish when cream will not. Babies and children will thrive and grow fat on it when their ordinary food does not nourish them.

A Bold aad l>«rlnff Attempt at Jail De- Uve>ry f t Kalaa**zoo w»» Discovered by OMclala 1* t b * Nick of Time — Wardea Maru'i Heport tor September an Darta* Attempt at Jalt Delivery. A must d a r i n g a t t e m p t at jail delive r y w a s discovered at Kalamazoo on t h e 2d. The prisoners in the cage had literally torn it t o pieces and were a w a i t i n g a chance for a suitable opportunity to escape. By means of wrenches and saws the big iron bar t h a t releases the door to t h e cell and o t h e r bars had been loosened and fastened up with wires. The large steel hinge three inches wide, had been pried and broken by use of one of the b i g steel bars previously loosened. The prisoners had t h e cage so well wrecked t h a t when t h e suitable time arrived they could, by loosening a few small wires, open i b e cage and walk out. Then they would have very quickly made their escape from the interior of t h e jail by means of t h e iron bars. The men in the cage were L i r r y Spellman, awaitiug trial for the Richland bank robbery; Holsinger, sentenced last week to Jackson for burglary; John Thompson, alleged horse thief, and F r a n k Webb, charged with trying to get books c o n t a i n i n g saws and files to Slater and Allison, Richland bank robbers. . ^. Gam* Warden'* Report for September. Game Warden Morse reports that t h e work of his department last month was confined to a general enforcement of the game and fish laws, including a second inspection of t h e commercial fisheries. With very few exceptions t h e commercial fisheries were found to be closely conforming to the law, both as regards the size of the mesh and the retention of immature fish, thy decrease in the number and extent of the seizures proving this. The total number of cases investigated during the month was 1GJ. There were US prosecutions commenced. These resulted in 54 convictions, t w o acquittals, throe dismissals, while 159 cases are pending.-. The total amount of fines and costs imposed was $78:1.05, aud the.value of the fish and nets seized 530J.28. Fortyseven of the cases for violation of the game laws and ~A for violations of the fish laws. flames Responsible far Deficiency. In the opinions filed by the supremo court on the 3d was one of great importance to persons interested in the O. M. Karnes failure in 1893. Mr. Barnes was largely interested in the j Lansing "Lumber company, aud, in the i litigation which followed his failure and the appointment of the Michigan Trust company as a receiver for the lumber company. Mr. Barnes, in the Ingham county circuit, was released from any personal liability on the socalled "A" bonds, issued by the lumber company. T h e supreme court reverses this decision and holds Mr. •ltarnes responsible for aoy deficiency. Something like f400,000 is involved. The trust company, in this opinion, is granted the compensation sued for, which was a very large sum. J*il Delivery at Cadillac. About midnight on the 2J three prisoners broke out of the county jail at Cadillac. They a r e : Charles Stark, awaiting trial for picking pockets; Bert Wickwire, of Mt. Pleasant, serving 90 days for larceny, and Clarence Ilummond Sherman, serving GO days for larceny. T h e y dug through a brick wall a t t h e back of the jail. Sheriff Troy waa awakened by the neighing of a horse, suspected something, and on investigating found the prisoners gone. They were in the barn a t the time preparing to take a horse, but took alarm and fled. Officers are scouring1 the country, b u t no trace lias been found as yet. It is evident that t h e prisoners had outside help, and a r r e s t s may follow. Had Aeted Before Reqaettt was Received. Prestdent McKinley, through Secretary Porter, has replied to the recent communication, inclosing resolutions passed by t h e Holy Name society of Kalamazoo, in regard to the alleged desecration of c h u r c h property in the Philippines. T h e President says t h a t the subject referred to, is now under investigation. T h e letter closes as follows: ''Some time prior to the receipt of this communication, the President had caused, t o be instituted an in* quiry into such matters, and had directed the United States authorities in the Philippine Islands, t h a t special rejspect be paid t o a l l church property."

Sugar beets raised on the river bottom lands at the state house of correction a t . Ionia shows only 111-10 per cent sugar.

Attj. <jeu. Urlcc* Score* Capt. Carter. The opinion of Atty.-G-'U. Griggs in the case of Capt. Oberlin M. Carter of the army, upon which the President approved the finding of the courtmartial, was made public on the 5th. After dismissing certain of the minor charges as unproven the attorney-general, takes up the more serious questions involved, first considering the objection t h a t t h e charges upon which Capt. Carter was found guilty were incongruous. He says that unlike the ordinary criminal procedure t h e military usage and procedure permit of an indefinite number of offenses being charged and adjudicated together in one and the same proceeding. The statement concludes as follows: " I am, therefore, led to t h e conclusion t h a t the courtmartial was justified in its finding of guilty upon the charges and specifications relating to contracts made* by Carter in 1896, ana that the finding and sentence of the court with respect thereto, should be approved." 1,500 Perished in the Etrthquakes. It is now estimated that 1,500 persons perished in the recent e a r t h q u a k e s in Asia Minor, around Aldin. The first shock occurred on the morning of Sept. 20, and lasted 40 seconds. The effects were appalling. Whole villages were completely destroyed. The earthquake was felt as far as Scio, Mity- Jene and Smyrna. The latest advices from the stricken area show t h a t men, women and children were buried in the ruins of their dwelling places before they realized their danger. Numbers of bodies still lie beneath the de bris. About 500 persons were killed at Sarakeni and some ">00 at Denizli, where three-fourths of the buildings were destroyed. A proport'onate loss of life in many smaller villages occurred. Waiting for Kruger to St* Ike Flrit Blow. A London dispatch says: The situation is unchanged. The British reserves are likely to be called out before the end of the week and the Boers are already under rfrras, and are not likely to disband without fighting. Sir Uedvera Bailer's departure is not yet settled, in spite of numerous contradictory rumors. According to dispatches received at midnight on the 2d the burghers and the British regulars were at least ,10 miles distant a t the nearest point and hostilities which President Kruger apparently cannot now avert if he really desires to do so, are not likely to be brought on before the middle of the week. Compromise on Hotmdary Linn. By the decision of the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary arbitration commission, some of Great Britain's claims as to the interior and on the coast are disallowed. Her frontier will start at the Waini river. The award was unanimous. It is considered in the nature of a comp:omise rather than as favoring Venezuela. The award of the tribunal, briefly summarized means that, of the 60.000 square miles claimed by Venezuela, t h a t country obtains only 100 square miles, formed partly of the marsh land near the River Barima. and a portion in the interior, while Great Britain retains all the forest country. OutrHged and Then Murdered. Mrs. .lames Lashbrook, wife of a well-to-do farmer, and a member of one of the oldest families in Mason county, Ky.( was ravished and murdered on the 5th at her home at Clark's Station, six miles from Maysville.

McKinney, Of Stranger, Tex., aged (•">, on the 2d killed Paul Norman, the proprietor of a general store, and then went to a vacant house nearby and blew out his brains. Soon after the shooting it was discovered t h a t Mrs. McKinney. the wife of t h e murderer, had been murdered, her defad body being found at her home. No cause or explanation of the tragedy* is known. Gen. L i w t o n went to Bacoor on tb# morning of the 3d and organized a gen? eral movement to clear up the countrj between Imu* and Bacoor, taking th« personal command. The fight was pract&ally:«nd«d a t 2bVock. Anothei illustration of the insurgent ooiiey ol evading meeting the Americans in force was furnished by the fact thai when our line swept across several miles of country, firing by volley and cheering, t h e Filipinos melted before them, and it was only occasionally that glimpses of the enemy .eouLd b« obtained as they ran from theii trenches and dodged through t h e bushes like rabbits. One body of t h e enemy, under a former mayor of I reus, retreated towards Perez das Marinas and another in t h e direction of San Francisco de Malabon. Lieut. Kuabenshue, with a party of scouts, crossed the river and found 28 dead Filipino* in the trenches, 15 of whom had beet killed by one shell. When the marines marched into Imus the soldiers cheered them and Gen. Lawton complimented them upon their work. Aguinaldo's third attempt to s h i f t his difficulties into the field of diplomacy is a repetition of the other o n e or two, with au impossible endeavor to obtain some sort of recognition of his so-called government. The Filipino envoys had an hour's conference with Gen. OHs on the 1st They brought from Aguinaldo a message t h a t he desired peace and wished t o send a civilian governmental commission to discuss the question. Gen. Otis replied t h a t it was impossible for h i m to recognize Aguinaldo's government in that way. They presented a l e t t e r from Aguinaldo as "president of the> republic," which was largely a repetition of his recent appeals for recognition. Gen, Otis informed them t h a t while he was willing to correspond with Aguinaldo as general of t h e insurgent forces, he must positively decline to recognize hiin as president of the civil government. The President on the 4th directed the immediate dispatch to the Philippines of a number of vessels of t h e navy, including the Brooklyn. N e w Orleans, Nashville and Badger. The action is the result of Admiral Dewev's interview, in which he went over t h e Philippine situation with the President. The orders given are in line with the expressed deterraiuation of the President to furnish t h e army and navy every resource for stamping out the Philippine insurrection at the earliest possible time. The famous cruiser Hartford, flagship of Admiral Farragut in the memorable battle of Mobile bay, has been placed in commission for the second time at Mare island navy yard. Enough of the framework of the old ship is left to preserve historical identity, b u t for all practical purposes she is a n e w , up-to-date cruiser. The Hartford will now be used to train patriotic American* for service in Uncle Sam's navy. Several hundred insurgents have reoccupied Porac, which was captured by Gen. MacArthur on Sept. 28, and evacuated by the Americans the following day. The insurgent forces a r e also reported moving toward Mexico, southeast of Angeles. The object of the double movement, is, apparently, to get behind the American garrison on both sides of the Mu:nla-Dagupan railway. Rear-Admiral Watson announces t h e recovery of the United States g u n b o a t Urdaneta, which was captured and beached by t h e insurgents near Orani on the Orani river, where she had been blockading. The expedition waa entirely successful, the Americans suffering no casualties. The insurgents released 14 of t h e American prisoners on Sept. 30, b u t Lieut, Gilraore and party * were n o t among them. The released men have nothing but praises for the t r e a t m e n t accorded them from t h e Filipinos, w h o gave them t h e best. The insurgents on the 4th made t w o attacks on Calamba, in which the commanding oflicer reportB 60 Filipinos f i l l e d and many wounded. Two companies of t h e 21st regiment repelled each attack, losing two men killed a n d seven wounded. In an engagement on the 4th an American private w a s killed in t h e skirmish a t Santa Ana. The Arayat party learned t h a t Seott and Edwards, of the 25th infantry, who are missing, are prisoners at Magalang. Gen. Otis has informed the war department of the arrival at Manila of the transport St. Paul with seven troops of t h e 3d cavalry. The Garonne* carrying horses and mules, has a l s o reached Manila. Admiral aDewey was formally detached from t h e Olympia on Oct 4. H e can now now do as he pleases for a time, as t h e department will n o t assign him to any naval duties at present.

"Now, smile a little, Kitty, and you'll look almost pretty!"' Meg drew back a pace to survey me critically. I sat looking fixedly before m e into the little cracked toilet glass, and tried to get used to the new beautified version of myself that I saw reflected there. My dark hair was all gathered up high on my head, twisted loosely by Meg's deft fingers to lie in soft, graceful coils. Beneath the mass of dark hair my face looked smaller and paler than I had been used to think it; my eyes had never looked so deeply set— they were too large and too dark for the smallness and paleness of my face, and my lips were too grave and too wistful; and yet, on tho whole, I was, prettier than I had thought myself. For the first time in my life I realized t h a t my head was well set, that my face was delicately shaped, that my chin at least was pretty. Aunt J a n e was giving a party tonight and I was in festal attire—in a white dress of soft muslin t h a t had never been worn by either Meg or Dora—a pretty dress that opened at the throat, that fitted me trimly, and t h a t in some mysterious way made me look slim and tall and not ungraceful. I put my elbows carelessly upon the grimy little dressing-table, bespattered with London smuts, and gazed longingly into tho cracked glass with unblushing eagerness. "I wish I ^\ere pretty!"—and I sighed. "I wonder if I am pretty, rather pretty—am I, Me;?? Oh, Me*,\ I think I would give anything to be beautiful like you!" "I believe some people misht think you prettier," she admitted, with an air of genuine concession. "Not that I can say that I agree with t h e m ! " she added at once with laughing candor. "You are too thin and, too white—but M i w n t m n M U H i i u u t m t m m w I took my elbow from the table and rose hastily, with a sudden sense of irritation and impatience. "One needn't be in lore," I declared, moving away from Dora to the window, "just because one wishes not to be a fright. I'm not in love!" "Well, it would be difficult," eaid Dora, with a yawn—"unless you fell in love with your poor little herr at your music lessons. Besides the herr, whom do you see? Nobody! Poor child—nobody at all! Oh, I forgot—there's John Mortimer; but John Mortimer doesn't count! By the by, Kitty, when is John Mortimer going to propose to you?" "Never," I replied In a clear, steady, tense voice, without turning my head. "Never! Oh, has he repented? Well, I thought he would." I returned no answer. "Suppose ho does propose?" persisted Dora, lazily. "What are you going to say?" It was the question I had been asking myself again and again, morning, noon, and night, for the past fortnight, ever since that afternoon when Aunt Jane had talked to me. I had always given myself the same answer—given it resolutely, emphatically—I should refuse him, and refuse him unhesitatingly, In Euch a way that he should not doubt my firmness, should never think of urging me. And yet, in spite of my decision, again and again the question had come back to me, as though I had never solved it. "Ho will not izlt me," I said. "If 1':*) does " "If he does?" "I shall not accept him," I said, quietly. Dora tilted her chair backward in a perilous positio-i, r.nd sat and watched me. "And what will mamma say?" she asked presently i » a comical tr .e of consternation. *Would yo,i?% I said, dryly. "Well, no," said Dora, laughing, " a a cecond thought I'm not sure that I would. While one is unmarried, life, even as a snubbed governess in •i stuffy schoolroom, has at all events possibilities. John Mortimer Is such a grim, unromantic certainty." "Perhaps he does seem grim to you," I said coldly, "He never seems grim to me.*" "lie's so—so middle-aged," objected Dors, with another little yawn. "He'3 35!" I said, with a sudden feeling of irritation. : f hate young men." "What odd taste! And then, he's so commonplace! Not, by the wides*. stretch -.if imagination, could I fancy John Mortimer doing anything a little wicked." "Nor I. I'm glad!" "Oh, I like a -man to have a dash of wickedness!" "Do you? I prefer a man to be trustworthy, upright and true!" "My dear Kitty, why so snappish?" "I'm not snappish," I said quickly, with a feeling of penitence. "London's so hot!" I explained somewhat illogically. "One's temper can't be perfect in London in the first week of August. I shall be glad when we get away.'" But, even as I expressed the wish, something seemed to tighten about my heart; it ached at the thought of how short a time was left before my wish must be accomplished. When the time came for us to go Cornwall, the timo would come, too, when John Mortimer would go to Brittany, to the sister who thought slightingly of girls, and to her friend, that perfect woman, who was as young at 30 as she had been at 20, who would never be old at heart, of whom it was impossible that any one could have spoken in dispraise. 11UUBIJMI « 8 .

London, Oct. 5 . - T h e most sensational news from South Africa today \ a reiteration cf yesterday's report of the acquisition by the Transvaal authorities cf £500,000 in gold, which was on the way to Cape Town from Johannesburg. The confirmation of the story comes from two sources. The Cape Argus asserts that the Boers made the seizure at Vereenigeng, the amount being the week's shipment of gold on the way from the Rand to Cape Town, and forwarded the treasure to Pretoria. The report is also confirmed by a cablegram received by a mining company '- in London from their representative, which is to the effect that the train upon which he was traveling from Johannesburg to Cape Town was held up and looted by Boers, who secured £300,000 in gold, the amount being considerably less than the original estimate.

" I wish I could be vain! I never used to care about being pretty; I suppose it comes with growing up. I wish my hair curled, Dora!" x , "Curl it, dear.'1 "I wish I were like Meg!"—and I sighed again. "Meg's prettlness won't wear." said Dora, in a judicial tone. "By the time you're 40, Kitty, you'll be much better looking than Meg." "But I'm not 40," I exclaimed, halflaughing, half-petulant. "I don't care bow I look at 40. I care how I look now—not at 40 or 80, but now!"' Dora leant back In her chair, and, with a little smile, surveyed me lazily. "My dear little Kitty," she said, after a minute, "do you know what any one who saw you and heard you «.t this moment would Imagine?" " W h a t ? " "You t o bf» in love, my dear. You have all the symptoms—and more. W h o is It, Kitty? Break It to me "I don't care—I don't care in the very least!" I said, and this time at all events there was a ring of sincerity in my tone. My fear of Aunt J a n e had vanished marvelously in the past two weeks. I seemed to have grown from childhood to womanhood, and Aunt Jane no longer overawed me, no longer held my destiny subject to her frown. My heart sank whenever I told myself anew that I must refuse John Mortimer; but it was not the fear of Aunt J a n e that BO much oppressed ma. "She would never forgive you," Bald Dora with easy conviction. "I krioW that; I should never ask her. Dora," I continued, turning away from the window and coming back to my seat before the table, "I have been thinking about—about things lately, and I've decided what I want to do. I want to go away now, not away from London perhaps, but away from here. I want to be earning a living of my own, not to be dependent any longer on Aunt Jane's bounty. Some one might have me as a governess, as nurssery governess. Do you think that anybody would?" d teach horrid little boys and girls jthelr A B C , and see that their aashei are tied straight and their faces cleanly washed, and t h a t their toes are tucked In a t night! I would rather marry John Mortimer if I were you."! CHAPTER VI. Aunt Jane passed along the passage on her way to her room to dress. She opened my door, which stood ajar, and looked in with her normal air of disapproval. "Do you intend to come downstairs in that costume, Dora?" she asked, severely, looking at Dora's pretty but much-crumpled pink print. "My dear Kate"—with a still sourer glance at me—"will you try to recollect that your dress will cost at least two guineas and has to be paid for yet? If you bear that in mind, you will perhape be careful of it all the evening. If you are ready, you can go downstairs at onoo into the drawing-room." I went downstairs as Aunt Jane had bidden me. The drawing-room, door stood open. I entered, and, busily engrossed in arranging the little nosegay of red geraniums at my waist,'I halfcrossed the room before I was conscious that any one was there. Then, as I raised my eyes, I met John Morti- {- iter's grave, frank nnilo, and I knew W f-ce ligl::^l up at once. Kk, oame forward to meet me, his steady gray eyes still constraining me to look at him. "I a.;ue early, Kitty, to see you," he told me, speaking in a very quiet, serious way. "I asked Mrs. Corfield to let me see you for a little while alone." So Aunt Jane had sent me down to meet htm! Why had she not warned me that he was here? Why had she let him surprise me into that swift, tell-tale glance of greeting? • _ He drew forward the only easy-chair the room contained—a chair sacred to the service of Aunt Jane—and seated himself near me on the green red sofa by the window. He eyed me with a somewhat puzzled glance. "Are you wondering what has h a p - pened to me?" I asked. "You are looking very grown trp," he answered, smiling. "And very pretty," he added, after a moment, in a euiet tone. In spite of myself my eyes smiled into his. I drew a deep, contented breath. He-thought me pretty—all the rest of the world might think me j&lain, and I should not carel I should never bemoan again my paleness, my dark eyes, which would not sparkle as Meg's blue eyes sparkled when they smiled. "I have a new dress," I explained, shyly—"a new dress which is quite my own. Do you like i t ? " "Very much. I always like your dresses, K i t t y ! " I looked at him wonderingly. "What—always!" I echoed. "Not always!" I echoed. "Not always?" "Always!" "The old linsey-woolsey I was wearing last winter, with the sleeves half-, way up my arms, and the skirt above my ankles, and the black braid all turned green and the elbows threadbare! You didn't like that dress?" "Yes, I did." "It was hideous! Meg and Dora were always bantering me about that dress. It was the ugliest dress t h a t was ever seen." "Was It?" "And how it wore!" I said, sighing. "It wouldn't wear out. I thought it would last till doomsday. Do you know, I don't think much of your taste in dresses." H e smiled a t me In his grave way; and let my slighting opinion pass unchallenged. His eyes, even while they smiled, were looking a t m e with a strange earnestness. He bent forward a little, facing me. (To be continued.) S i t u a t i o n R e m a i n ! S t r a i n e d - There is nothing very tangible in today's war news, but the situation remains as strained as ever, unless hope may be derived from the apparent fact that the forces on the frontier are regarded by both sides as wholly defensive for the present, and from the statement that J. H. Hofmeyer, the Afrikander leader in Cape Colony, is still prepared to endeavor to secure the adhesion of the Transvaal government to the "irreducible minimum" proposed at the DIoemfontein conference to President Kruger, by Sir Alfred Milner, the British high commissioner, if the imperial government will stand by the high commissioner's original proposal. The Stock Exchange was influenced during the opening hours today by vague rumors that Queen Victoria had cabled President Kruger and President Steyn, holding out the olive brancn, and by a report that the Boers had been defeated in a small enga-gement. Prices rose, but there was a speedy relapse when both stories were discredited. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the distinguished liberal statesman, member cf parliament for West Monmouthshire, has another slashing attack in today's papers upen the policy of the secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain. He reiterates his original statement, that Mr. Chamberlain's assertion that the Transvaal refused to redress the grievances of the outlandcrs is trie reverse of the case, and insists that Great Britain is responsible for "slamming the door in the face of President Kruger just when arrangements were approaching a settlement."

If there is one thing on which t h e housewife prides herself, it is that of having her laundering done nicely, so that the wearing apparel may be t h e admiration of all.

Yes; j was married to a drunkard. Look at me! I am talking to the girls.'* We all turned and looked afc her. She was a wan woman, with dark, sad eyes and white hair placed smoothly over a brow that denoted intellect. "When I married a drunkard I reached the acme of misery," she continued. " I was young and oh, so happy! I married the man I loved, and who professed to love me. H e was a drunkard; and I knew it—knew it, but did not under stand it. There is not a young girl in this building that does understand it unless she has a drunkard in her family; then, perhaps she knows how deeply the iron enters the soul of a woman when she loves and is allied to a drunkard—whether father, husband, brother or son. Girls, believe me, when I tell you that to marry a drunkard, is the crown of all misery. I have gone through the deep waters, and know. I have gained that fearful knowlege bed, and my heart seemed suddenly to stop beating. There lay my : children, covered with their life- , blood, slain by their own father! For a moment I could not utter a sound. I was literally dumb in the presence of my terrible>sorrow. I scarcely heeded the maniac at my side—fie man who had brought me all the woe. Then I uttered a loud scream, and my wailing filled the air. The servants heard me and hastened to the room, and when my husband saw them he suddenly drew the knife across his own throat. I knew nothing more. I was borne senseless from the room that contained the bodies of my slaughtered children and the body of my husband. T h e next day my hair was white and my mind was so shattered that I knew no one." * * # # "MY BOY IN A DRUNKARD'S GRAVE. She ceased. O u r eyes were rivited upon her wan face. Some of the women sobbed aloud, while there was scarcely a dry eye in that temperance meeting. We saw that she had not done speaking and was only waiting to subdue her emotion to resume her story. "For two years," she continued " I was a mental wreck. Then I recovered from the shock and abosbed myself in the care of my boy. 3 that wrecked my happiness that I have unfolded my history to yon. I am a stranger in this great city. I am merely passing through it; snd I have a message to every girl—never marry a drunkard!" I can see her now, as she stood there amid the hushed audience, her dark eyes glowing, and her frame quivering with emotion; as she uttered her passionate appeal. Then she hurried out, and we never saw her agiin. H e r words "fitly spoken," were not without effect, however, and because of them there is one girl single now. • • I c a n l e E r u p t i o n * Are grand, bat skiu eruptions rob life of joy.

A woman's club is generally unwieldy from a parliamentary standpoint, at least. When some women make up their mind to do a thing they make up their face accordingly. State Senator Emory from Pennsylvania blames the railroads for the trust. It is not apparent that Statesman Emory is off the track. The great fault with which the count r y has to contend may be summed up in the words individual irresponsibility. Could every voter understand t h a t in him and him alone reposes the -welfare of the nation her institutions would be safe. Let every man do what Is right according to his conscience, and regardless of what others believe t o be right, and the greatest good will certainly accrue to the greatest number. The American collegian is fast gaining widespread fame as a digger and a delver. Through the long winter and the balmy spring he digs into his Greek and Latin in class and study room; during the summer season he digs for fossils in the bad lands and the lava fields, and when the crisp autumn breezes blow he digs holes in the football field with his own and his opponents' craniums. The last-mentioned kind of excavation, it may be added, is easily the most popular cf all. The agricultural department at Washington is making elaborate preparations with a view of making that department of the census of 1900 very comprehensive. Advance forms of j census reports are being sent out for > the perusal of farmers so that by June 1. next (the date on which the census taking is to begin) every farmer in the j land will have a clear understanding t of his part of the contract. The de- { partment is to be complimented for the manner in which it has set about its work.- * (Copyright 1885 bjr Loula Klopach.) , Through the mistake of its friends, religion has been chiefly associated with cJck-beds and grave-yards. The whole subject, to many people, is odorous with chlorine and carbolic acid. There are people who cannot pronounce the word religion without hearing in it the clipping chisel of the tombstone cutter. It is high time that this thing were changed, and that religion, Instead of being represented as a hearse to carry out the dead, should be represented as a chariot la which the living are to triumph. Religion, so far from subtracting from one's vitality, is a glorious addition. It is sanative, curative, hygienic. It is good for the eyes, good for the ears, good for tho spleen, good for the digestion, good for the nerves, good for the muscles. When David, in another part of the Psalm, prays that religion may be dominant, he does not speak of it as a mild sickness, or an emaciation, or an attack of moral and spiritual cramp; he speaks of it as "the saving health of all nations"; while God, in the text, promises longevity to the pious, saying: "With long life will I satisfy him." The fact is that men and women die too soon. I t Is high time that religion joined the hand of medical Bclence in attempting to Improve human longevity. Adam lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years. Methuselah lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years. As late in the history of the world as Vespasian, there were, at one time in his empire, forty-five people one hundred and ihirty-five years old. So far down as the sixteenth century. Peter Zartan died at one hundred and eighty-five years of age. I do not say that religion will ever take the race back to antediluvian longevity, but I do nay the length of life will be increased. It is said in Isaiah: "The child shall die a hundred years old." Now, if according to Scripture, the child is to be a h m d r e d years old, may not the men and women reach to three hundred and four hundred and five hundred? The fact is that we are mere dwarfs and skeletons compared with some, cf the generations that are to coaie. Take the African race. They havo been under bondage for centuries. Give them a chance, and they develop a Fredj erick Douglass or a Toussaint L'Ou- 1 vcrture. And if the white race shall j be brought from under the serfdom of soon thmfc of going out on the bridge between New York and Brooklyn, leaping off and then praying to God to keep him from getting hurt. Just as long as you refer this whole subject of physical health to the realm of whimsicality or to the pastry cook, or to the butcher, or to the baker, you are not acting like a Christian. Take care of all your physical forces—nervous, muscular, bone, brain, cellular tissue— for all you must be brought to Judgment. Smoking your nervous system Into fidgets, burning out the coating of your stomach with wine logwooded and Btrychnined, walking with thin shoes to make your feet look delicate, pinched at the waist until you are nigh cut in two, and neither part worth anything, groaning about sick headache and palpitation of the heart, which you thihk came from God, when they came from your own folly! What right has any man or woman to deface the temple of the Holy Ghost? What is the ear? It is the whispering gallery of the soul. What is the eye? It Is the observatory God constructed, its telescope sweeping^the heavens. What is the hand? An instrument so wonderful that when the earl of Brldgewater bequeathed in his will $40,000 for treatises to be written on the wisdom, power and goodness cf God, Sir Charles Bell, the great English anatomist and surgeon, fouud his greatest illustration in the construction of the human hand, devoting his whole book to that subject So wonderful are these bodies that God names his own attributes after different parts of them. His omniscience— '.t is God's eye. His omnipresence— It is God's ear. His omnipotence—it is God's arm. The upholstery of the midnight heavens—it is the work of God's fingers. His life-giving power— it is the breath of the Almighty. His dominion—"the government shall be upon his shoulder." A body so divinely constructed, let us be careful not to abuse it.. When it becomes a Christian duty to take care of our health, is not the whole tendency toward longevity? If I toss my watch about recklessly, and drop it on the pavement, and wind it up any time of day or night I happen to think of it, and often let it run down, while you are careful with year watch, and never abuse it, and wind it up just at the r.arae hour every night, and put it in a place where it will not suffer from \Y violent changes of atmosphere, wmch watch will last the longer? Common sense answers. Now, the human body is Gou s watch. You see the hands'of the watch, yon sec the face of the watch, but the beating of the hea.t is the ticking of the watch. Be careful and do not, let it run down! % Again: I remark that practical religion is a friend of longevity in the fact that it is a protest against dissipations, *--hch injure and destroy the You went to the rizht; h*s went to the leCt. That Is all tho difference between yon. U this religion is a protest against all forms of dissipation, then it la an illustrious friend of longevity. "With long life will I satisfy him." Again: Religion is a friend of longevity in the fact that it takes the worry out of our temporalities. It is not work that kills men, it ia worry. When a man becomes a genuine Christian he makes over to God not only his affections, but his family, his business, his reputation, his body, his mind, his soul—everything. Industrious he will be, but never worrying, because God la managing his affairs. How can he worry about business when in answer to his prayers God tells him when to buy, and when to sell; and if he gain, that is best, and if he lose, that is best. Suppose you had a supernatural neighbor who came in and said: "Sir, I want you to call on me in every exigency; I am your fast friend. I could fall back on $20,000,000; I can foresee a panic fen years; I hold the controlling stock iu thirty of the best monetary institutions of New York; whenever you are in trouble, call on me and I will help you; you can have my money and you can have my influence; here is my hand in pledge for it." How much would you worry about business? Why, you would say: "I'll do the best I can, and then I'll depend on my friend's generosity for the rest." * * * * * * * What do you want In the future world? Tell me and you shall have it. Orchards? Tnere are the trees with twelve manner of fruits, yielding fruit every month. Water scenery? There is the River of Lire from under the throne of God, clear as crystal, and the sea of glass mingled with fire. Do you want music? There is the oratorio of the Creation led on by Adam, and the oratorio of the Red sea led on by Moses, and the oratorio of the Messiah led on by St. Paul, while the archangel with swinging baton controls the one hundred- and forty-four thousand who make up the orchestra. Do you want reunion? There are your children waiting to ki?s you, waiting to embrace you, waiting to twist garlands in your hair. You have been accustomed to open the door on this side the sepulchre. You have been accustomed to walk in the wet grass on the top of the grave. 1 show you the under side of tne grave; the bottom has fallen out,. and the long repei with which tb° pall-bearers let down your dead, j k , them clear through into heaven, j Glory be to God for this robust, healthy reugion. It will have a tendency to make you live long In this world, and in the world to come you will have eternal life. "With long life will I satisfy him." 'REBELS ARE DRIVEN OUT.

T h e Japanese government has dee d e d to recognize Christianity as one of the religious organizations of the country, and to give Christian ministers the same rights a^ are granted to Buddhist and Shinto priests. A new law, however, puts the affairs of all sects, including the building of churches, the holding of meetings, thp settlement of preachers and methods j cf maintenance, under the control of j local governors. Some solicitude is J occasioned by the large powers of these j governors, who will be able, if so dis- I posed, to hinder missionary operations sin, what shall be the body? what ] health. Bad men and women live a Two wonderful fossil specimens have just been discovered in Germany ] and delivered to the museum of the •' University of Tuebingen. One of them, found in a Nusplingen lime quarry in the heights of the Heubergs, is the perfect skeleton of a large, shark-like fish, imbedded in the limestone in such a way as to show accurately its anatomical structure. The other, found in the slate quarries of Halzmaden, near Kirchheim, is the skeleton of a small lcthyosaurus, with every smallest bone in its natural articulation, the dorsal and caudal fins Intact, and the skin covering of the webbed feet plainly distinguishable. T h i s latter specimen la declared to be the most nearly perfect specimen of the lcthyosaurus yet found. The United States government is an extravagant book publisher. About eighteen years ago It began the compilation of the records of the Union and Confederate armies, officially known as the Rebellion Records. More t h a n one hundred and twenty volumes fcave already been printed, as a cost Of nearly three million dollars, and the aeries is not yfet complete. Few persons would question the historical value of this great work, but many might doubt the wisdom of so free a distribution of the volumes at public expense. In country public libraries the books are rarely used enough to pay for the space they fill. In Lisbon, N. H., for example, the librarian relates this Incident: A email boy stood before the hundred massive volumes and said, "My! wouldn't I like to read t h e m ! " The permission was speedily granted. The boy took one of the books from the shelf, but for some reas o n did not carry it away. "Th*t,M concluded the librarian, "is the only 4*11 tor these books that I can remem- * t r l a y e a n t o have h*4 " shall be the soul? Religion has only just touched our world. Give it full power for a few centuries, and who c^n tell what will be the strength of man, and the beauty of woman, and the longevity of all? My design is to show that practical religion is the friend of long life. I prove it, first, from the fact that it makes the care of our health a positive Christian duty. Whether we shall keep early or late horns, whether we shall take food digestible or indigestible, whether there shall be thorough or incomplete mastication, are questions very often deferred to the realm of whimsicality; but the Christian man lifts this whole problem of health into the accountable and the divine. He says: '"God has given me this body, and He has called it the temple of the Holy Ghost, and to deface its altars, or mar its walls, or crumble its pillars, is a God-defying sacrilege." He sees God's callgraphy in every page—anatomical and physiological. He says: "God has given me a wonderful body for noble purposes." That arm with thirty-two curious bones wielded by forty-six curious muscles, and all under the brain's telegraphy; three hundred and fifty pounds of blood rushing through the heart every hour, the heart in twenty-four hours beating 100,000 times, during the twenty-four hours the lungs taking in fifty-seven hogsheads of air, and all this mechanism not more mighty than delicate and easily disturbed and demolished. The Christian man says to himself: 'If I h u r t my nerves, if I h u r t my brain, if I hurt any of my physical faculties, I Insult God and call for dire retribution." Why did Gcd tell the Levites not to offer to him in sacrifice animals imperfect and diseased? He ] meant to tell us In all the ages that j we are to offer to God our very best j physical condition, and a man who through irregular or gluttonous eating ruins his health is not offering to God such a sacrifice. Why did Paul write for his cloak at Troas? Why should such a great man as Paul be inxlous about a thing so insignificant is an overcoat? It was because he icnew that with pneumonia and rheumatism he would not be worth half as nuch to God a n d ' t h e Church ae with respiration easy and f£c\ fr*:. An Intelligent Christian man would consider it an absurdity to kneel down U night and pray and-«6^ God's projection, while At the «a«e time he kept the windows of his bedroom tight shut igsjnat fresh air B* would inst «s very short life. Their sins kill them. I know hundreds of good old men, but I do not know half a dozen bad old men. Why? They do not get old. Lord Byron died at Missolonghi at thirty-six" years of age, himself his own Mazeppa, his unbridled passions the horse that dashed with him into the desert. Edgar A. Pee died at Baltimore at thirty-eight years cf age. The black raven that alighted on the bust above his door was •> delirium tremens— "Only this and nothing rr.are." Napoleon Bonaparte livtd only just beyond mid-life, then died at St. Helena, and one of his doctors said that his disease was induced by excessive snuff; ing. The hero of Austerlitz, the manwho by one step of his foot in the center of Europe shook the earth, killed by a snuff-box! How many people we have known who have not lived out half their days because of their dissipations and indulgences! Now, practical religion is a protest against all dissipations of any kind. "But," you say, "professors of religion have fallen, professors of religion have got druu*.-, professors of religion have misappropriated trust funds, professors of religion have absconded." Yes; but they threw away their religion before they did their morality. If a man on a White Star line steamer bound tor Liverpool, in mid-Atlantic, jumps overboard and is drowned, is that anything against the White Star line's capacity to take the man across the ocean? And if a man jumps over the gunwale of his religion and goes down n*ver to rise, is thai any reason for your believing that religion has no capacity to take the man clear through? In the one case, if lie had kept to the steamer his bouy would have been saved; in the other case, ii he had kept to his religion his morals would have been saved. There are aged people who would have been de?.4 twenty-five years ago but for the defent-.es and the equipoise of religion. You have no more natural resistance than hundred? of people who lie in the cemeteries today, slain by their own vices. The doctors made their case as kind and pleasant as they could, and it was called congestion of the brain, or something else, but the snakes and the blue flies that seemed to crawl over the pillow in the eight of the delirious patient showed what was the matter with Urn. Yon, the aged Christian m a s , walked along by that unhappy one until you came to the golden pillar of a Christina life, W H I T E H O U S E Umlcrfjoe* Alteration'* w i t h I.'ach tievr Presidential Family. During the absence of President and Mrs. McKinley from Washington, Col. Bingham, superintendent ff public buildings and grounds, had a large force of workmen employed in renovating and repairing the executive mansion, and this work is being hurried to completion. It is quite a noticeable and interesting fact that the white house bears in a measure the individuality of every lady who has had the honor to preside there, and by whom the expensive decorations and furnishings have been in a great measure planned. It has been sought to preserve the colonial appearance of the mansion, but through the varying tastes for decorations very little of the colonial atmosphere of the interior remains. The historic traditions of the mansion cculd be as well preserved, perhaps, if the president no longer continued to reside there. There is scarcely any doubt the American people, in view of the interest which has always attached to tbrs white house, would gladly bear the expense of keeping it as it now stands, as Mt. Vernon and Arlington are maintained. More historic traditions clustered around the old capitol than about the white house, but this fact did not prevent congress from altering it to suit its convenience and needs whenever desirable or necessary. If t i e white house had never been altered from the day of its erection to the present time, i except to make necessary repairs, it would be of much more, historical "in-i terest than it Is, or if it had received extensive additions from time to time, '. such as the great castle4 in England, it would then present an Interesting" appearance. Eat, as it !a, no extensive alterations have <>ve/ been made, but one president After another has cnipped off a Lttle here and added a little there. Inside and outside, until the white ~ouse ic neither purely colonial r.or modern, but a patchwork cf both. GREAT BRITAIN GAINS MOST. Venezuela lloanrtury Fixed— The Verdict a Disappointment. Paris telegram: There is considerable disappointment in the award of the arbitration tribunal on the part of friends of Venezuela. Although they are highly satisfied that a definite boundary line has been established, it is felt that Venezuela should have had more of the disputed territory. However, it was one of the chief desires of Venezuela to possess the whole of the mouth of the Orinoco, and tho fact that this has been granted through the drawing of the line from Point Playa. instead of from the mouth of the Amacura river, occasions deep satisfaction. The award of the tribunal briefly summarized means that of the GO.OOO square miles claimed by •Venezuela that country obtains only 100 square miles, formed partly of the marshland near the River Barima and a portion in the interior, while Great Britain retains all the forest country. Mr. Harrison and M. Mallet Provost, who were interviewed jointly, claim that the award gives Point Barima, with a strip of land fifty miles'long, to Venezuela, which thereby obtains entire control of the River Orinoco. Three thousand square mile3 in the interior, they say, are also awarded to Venezuela. One of the counsel for Great Britain made the following statement for the Associated Press: "Great Britain has substantiated almost all her extreme claim. All the valuable plantations and gold fields are now indisputably settled within British territory." Miner* F i g h t at Decatur. 111.

To show how distance Is being overcome by railroad speed Mr. Chas, T. Batelie, a young business man of Seattle, handed the Editor of the Times, a few days ago, an e»velope, postmarked New York City, Aug. 28, 7 p. m., the reverse side containing these words:' "Seattle, Sept. 1, 11 p. m." It takes but a little figuring to demonstrate that these postmarks indicate a lapse of just "100 hours" of time—or four days and four hours. It was only about two jears ago that it took "six continuous days" of riding to cross the continent from New York to Seattle, and when this was reduced VG "five days" the travelers rejoiced. What roust their happiness be when they appreciate the fact that they can step on board a "lightning express" in New York City and step off a "Flyer" in Seattle in exactly "100 hours." and then have "thirty minutes" of leeway, as the Great Northern wis due in Seattle at 10-30 September 1.

Thousands of persons reached the city on the morning trains and joined the vast throng already here. Army and navy veterans of the civil war and those freah from the battlefields of the Spanish war swelled the procession of marchers, and what it lacked in size it made up in sentiment. Lines of spectators stretched down the entire line of march. From, the treasury '.o the capltol the street was black with people. The tops of the buildings were as crowded as the bottoms, and for solid squares spectators hung from windows and fire-escapes, and even the roofs of buildings were crowded almost to overflowing. Headed by the Marine band, the procession moved slowly down the avenue to the capitol, where great throngs had congregated to witness the one great incident, which was the feature of Admiral Dewey's welcome home—the presentation of the sword voted him by congress. ' Admiral Dewey and President McKinley occupied a carriage in the center of the parade, and when they reached the capitol they left the procession and entered the building. It was some time before the admiral and President McKinley made their appearance, and during that interval the veterans of Santiago held an informal reception. When Dewey, accompanied by the chief magistrate, emerged from the capitol and walked slowly down the steps leading to the grand stand the air fairly trembled with the shores and cheers of the assembled thousands. As Secretary Long stepped into the stand a great shout went up. The secretary then read the brief correspondence which took place betwe?n himself and Admiral Dewey leading "p to the battle of Manila. This was tho occasion for universal cheering. Admiral Dewey was painfully nervous. When the remarks of the secretary were not personal he joined in the applause r.nd clapped his hands and waved his bearer. At times he seemed greatly affected by the remarks of Mr. Lon«!, and tears gathered in his eyes. After Secretary Long had made the presentation speech President McKinley took the sword and said: "Admiral Dewey: From your entrance in the harbor of New York, with your gallant crew and valiant ship, the demonstrations which everywhere have greeted you reveal the public esteem of your heroic action, and the fullness of love in which you are held by your country. The voice of the nation is lifted in praise and gratitude for the distinguished and memorable services you have rendered the country, and all the people give you affectionate welcome home, in which I join with all my heart. Your victory exalted American valor and extended American authority. There was no flaw in your victory; there will be no faltering in maintaining it. It gives me extreme pleasure and g*eat honor In behalf of all the people to hand you this sword, the gift of the nation voted by the congress of the United States." The president handed the admiral the sword with a deep bow and there was a roar of applause as Dewey received it. The crowd was hushed as he* turned to reply. Admiral Dewey said: "I thank you. Mr. President, for this great honor you have conferred upon me, I thank the congress for what it has done. I thank the secretary of the navy for his gracious words. I thank my countrymen for this beautiful gifi. which shall be an heirloom in my family forever, as an evidence that republics are not ungrateful, and I thank you. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, for the gracious, cordial and kindly welcome which you have given me to my home." The sword presented to the admiral, except Its steel blade and the body metal of its scabbard, is entirely of 22-carat gold. On the pommel is carved the name of the battleship Olympia and the zodiacal sign for December, in which month Dewey was born. The sword blade is damascened with the inscription: "The Gift of the Nation to •toftiral George Dewey, U. S. N., in Himmrj of the Victory at Manila Hay. Mai i. 1898." The scabbard is of thin gtijsy. damascened in gold. President McKinley, in lienor of A'datlrml Dewey, last night gave UK UlgMt dinner party in the history of tfe* wfeltt house social functions. Covlaid for over eighty persons ts included the cabinet, the of nine states, justices of the coUrt, some of the members oi fetuses of congress, army &ad Mftfr oSclala and others. Mexicans Determined to Eud the War. A telegram from Ortiz, State, of Sonora, Mex., *ays: The Mexican ROVj enttnent is making1 t>trenuou» efforts to • get all its forces in the held at once 1 and bring the Yaqut Indian war to a speedy termination. If they do not do so betore next April when the threemouths rainy season sets in it means that the war will last all through next hummer, which the government wants to prevent, if possible. For that reason they will push the matter as much as possible at present. Jose L. Gonzales, chief of construction of the federal telegraph lines in the state of Sonora, who has been in the mountains for three weeks past tryiug to repair some 200 miles of telegraph wire, laid waste by t>ie Indians, returned accompanied by bis escort ot cavalry and force of linemen. He says his men replaced many miles of broken wire but to little purpose, as the Indians followed them at a safe distance and tore down the wires as rapidly as they were repaired. The Indians seem to be in excellent fighting1 trim and apparently are growing bolder every day. Havana's Exports. . If the volume of business continues for the next four months at the ratio of the past eight months the export trade of Havana for the first year of American occupation will exceed $29,- 000,000. The total exports for eight months were 818,038,570, the United States alone taking 813,423,417 worth, leaviog to be distributed among 20 other counties only 85,535.153 worth. The exports of merchandise to the United States was $12,89&,033, and gold coin 8530,374. Spain took 8875.040 worth of merchandise and 81,803 42.9 in gold coin while France took 8973,960 worth ot merchandise and 8513,950 worth of gold coin. Eventful Voyage of a Whaler. The steam whaler, Mary Hume, arrived at San Francisco on the 1st after a cruise of six years. She had a very eventful voyage from Behring Sea, being caught in a gale which raged for 14 hours. Her seams parted and her joints creaked; the boilers were started out of place and a pipe broken, and the firemen were knee deep in water. The waist boat was swept away and bi<r sea waves staved in the starboard bulwarks. Water was made so fast that all hands were called to use the buckets. They bailed and two siphons aided the steam pump. Night and day they had to work to keep afloat. Andrea Mujr Have Passed t h e North Pol*.

Nearly always these operations become necessary through neglect. If the menses are very painful, or too frequent and excessive, g e t the right advice at once and stop taking chances. It will cost you nothing for advice if you write to Mrs. Pinkhara at Lyon, Mass., for it, and if you let the trouble run along it will surely cost you a great dual of pain and may mean an operation. Miss SARAH J. GRAHAM, Sheridanviile, Pa., writes: " D E A R MRS. P I N K H A M : — I had suffered for seve r a l years with female troubles and A doctored until I was discouraged. I felt wretched and tired of living. I had disease of kidneys, bladder trouble, dropsy and bloating, had womb trouble and a large tumor had formed; in fact all my organs were out of fix. •' Seeinga woman'sletter praising your remedies, I wrote to her and she begged of me to t r y it, telling me all that it had done for her. I bought six bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and now cannot express my gratitude to you. T h e tumor began to come away in pieces and I got better all the time. I believe now that I a m entirely cured. *• My doctors could not believe it at first, as they all had told m e that my case was a hopeless one, and no human power could do me any good. They were astounded. If I can say anything that can heln other women, i shall be glad to." It is not safe to waH until the last moment. Head off trouble b y prompt attention to it.

AVrisley, of Kalamazotv. sued for divorce from her husband, Frank Wrisley, in the Kalamasoo co&nty court. I t was proven t h a t he was negligent and cruel, and J u d g e Bock complied. In this instance, it was t h e d u t y of the solicitor, so J u d g e Hock says, for the complainant, to notify t h e defendant but he never received such notification, although he was living in Charlevoix a t the time. Mra. Wrisley, thinking herself free, married Wm. T. Doyle and had two children by him. Mr. Wrisley recently appeared on the scene and demanded possession of Gladys, a daur;t *er. A squabble ensued and the matter vas again b r o u g h t before the circuit court of Kalamazoo county. After hearing Mr. Wrisley's tale, the court set aside t h e former decree, leaving Mrs. Doyle, t h e '-"gal wife of her first husband, a n d .»\dly entangling their domestic ties.

CHAPTER VI.—(Continued.) "Kitty," he said, "I want you to listen to me for a little while, will you?" I cast one quick, scared, deprecating little glance at him, and let my eyes fall. My heart was beating in such a wild and foolish way that I could not speak, could not prevent him frcm speaking, could not think. "I did not mean to say this to you just yet," he went on gently, in his quiet, steady, earnest tone. "It seemed scarcely fair to you to say it yet. You ar« so young—life is all before you— you have seen eo few people, eeen so little of the world, that I feel I may b e t a k i n g an unfair advantage of you— 4m unfair advantage of your youth. I meant to be patient, Kitty; I meant to be patient and wait. But a week o r two ago I confided to Mrs. Corfleld what I meant ons day to ask you; and i t has struck me since then that she m u s t have told you something of what I said to her. That is why I am speaki n g to you, dear, so soon." There was a moment's p a . o. Though I never raised my eyes, I was conscious of bis gaze, fixed earnestly, Intently on my face all the while he spoke. "Kitty, I think you knorr what I want to tell you," he continued. "I love you, Kitty. I want to ask you, dear, if you will be my wife." He had spoken very quietly, in a very grave and steady way, not as though he were conferring a boon upon me, yet not with excessive humility. My hands, which he held in his, were trembling, my heart was beating fast. I looked across at him, and his eyes seemed to hold mine; I could not look away again. He was so strong, so tender, so ;,rood, so true! And I loved him—oil, I loved him! He read my love in my eyes; 1 let him read it, I could not help it. "Kitty, tell me," he pleaded, gently. "Don't let us blunder—either of us. I J are nice, and Uncle Richard's kind. Don't be sorry for me; I couldn't bear it, I should hate it! It's not that you're sorry, is i t ? " He was locking at me with the same perplexed expression. "I'm afraid, dear, I don't understand," he said. I found it hard to explain. I could not speak with that self-contained calmness that was necessary to make my meaning plain. "Are you sure?" I asked him, eagerly. "Tell me again, I want you to say it again, that you're sure, quite sure." "Sure of what, dear?" "Of what you said. You said you wanted me." His gray eyes looked at me with a gleam of merry yet tender laughter. "I am quite sure of that,'' he answered. "T'lere is nothing else in the world, Kitty, of which I am so sure." A minute later an interruption came. Uncle Richard, paper in hand, strolled into the drawing-room. " W h a t ' s the matter, Kitty—what's the m a t t e r ? " he said, as I rose precipitately to retreat. "Nothing is the matter, sir," John Mortimer replied, quietly. "Kitty has been promising; to be my wife. We hope you will not disapprove." But I fled without hearing Uncle Richard's answer. 1 fled away to the top of the house to a little dusty garret where not even the girls would think of searching for me; and there, with my new musUJii, costly to the extent of two golden guineas, gathered around me, I sat beneath the skylight on an old dusty leather portmanteau of Aunt Jane's, and tried to think calmly of the ordeal that lay .v.'ore me when I should venture forth from my hiding place. I could not face A'uiu Jaiy?, Uncle Richard, the keen, merry eyes of Meg and Dora, until I had thought about this^s a little, grown more sedately happy, until, my cheeks had cooled, my^jeart had begun to beat MEG'3 PRETTY FIGURE STOOD IN THE DOORWAY. love .you, dear, dearly—most dearly. But don't be afraid of hurting me, Kitty. If you tell .me I have no hope, I shall bear It as one bears most things. What I could not bear, dear, ie that you should sacrifice yourself— perhaps regret It. If you feel that you have no love to give me, not enough love, tell me, Kitty; tell me now." "I can't tell you," J cried—"I can't tell you; it is not 'true." My voice w i s unlike any own, tense, suppressed, Tbe words came quieskly, yet in a labored way; and each -word seemed to h u r t me sharply. "I love you," I said. "I c a t ' t h e l p it; it's true." Holding my hands firmly in his, he drew me to the sofa beside him; he put his arm round me and drew me nearer to him and klBsed me. For t. minute all doubts had disappeared; I was supremely, blissfully content. Then the good minute passed. I drew myself away, looked at him doubtfully, end felt m y heart sink. "It's not—not for kindness' s a k e ? " I questioned eagerly. "For kindness' sake, d e a r ? " he repeated, in a puzzled tone. "You don't think I'm unhappy, do you? I'm not. I'm happy enough. I don't mi»d Aunt Jane, and things are not so horrid as they seem—the girls more quietly, and my mind had grown less bewildered with happiness. CHAPTER VII. Perhaps a minute, perhaps an hour, had passed—I do not know how time went by—but long before my cheeks had cooled an interruption came. I had thought myself secure; but the garret door opened, and Meg's pretty, graceful, alert figure stood In the doorway in the twilight. "Kitty, my dear, John is disconsolate," she said. If my cheeks had been cooling, they grew brilliantly red again. My heart beat faster than ever as Meg's merry voice pronounced my lover's name— the name by which I had never called him. by which it seemed to me I should never dare to call him. She stood in the doorway looking in, her blue eyes sparkling with laughter, her pretty lips pretending to be grave, but ngt carrying the pretense so far that it should deceive me. * I was discovered; I rose from my dusty portmanteau, let down my dress about me, and followed Meg out upon the landing. "Come here, under the window, and let me look at you," she said, taking possession of me. "Kitty!" "yes." ^ 'Do you know what a—a peony Is like, dear?" "Oh, Meg, don't tease me, don't laugh at me; let me go!" "Kitty, mamma left off blushing when she left off bibs and pinafores. With the disappearance of your pinafores, the habit seems to have grown upon you. Now, come, Kitty, I'm your earliest confidante; come, confide in me." "I i c n ' t want to confide in you—1 don't want to confide in you at all." "Did he go down upon one knee, Kitty—and—and did the windows rattle very much? Oh, Kitty, my dearest Kitty, I'm dying to know v h a t he said." "I shall never tell you." "Oh, yes, you will!" said Meg with sweet assurance, putting her arm coaxingly around my shoulders, and bending forward to look into my face and laugh at me. "You accepted him; and after your solemn profession to Dora only this evening that nothing on earth would ever make you. His arguments must have been weighty, Kitty; but they were sure to be weighty— John is nothing if not profound." I shook off the arm t h a t was embracing me. But Meg would not be repulsed; she put her pretty little hand beneath my chin, looked at me with mock reproach, then, laughing again, bent forward and kissed me. "One might fancy, Kitty, if one did not know the circumstances of the case, one might fancy Do you know what one might fancy?" "No." "That you were in love with John." "And I am." I declared, my eager tone sounding unconvincing somehow as I caught the amused, incredulous little twinkles in Meg's clear blue eyes. "I am, Meg. You don't believe me— but it's true." "Poor Kitty," said Meg In a tragic tone, still unconvinced. "When did it happen, dear?" I turned away. Meg tripped after me down the dusty garret stairs; and, as we reached the floor below, twined her arm caressingly about my waist again. "What d i , s It feel like to fall in love, dear? *s tbe fall a shock? And what does it 5'oel like when you're there?" "Where?" "In the land of love, the land of lime-light. In the lime-light I suppose even John would look, romantic? 13 ut a romantic figure with a short beard! 01), bear with me. Kitty! Imagination fails m * I can't picture it! Now, u long beard--a long, big, yellow, Teutonic beard, or a long, thin, tapering, pathetic N^ird—I could put up with under protest. But a short beard, speekl.au bx;j\vn and gray, with a serviceable suit of clothes Kitty. I'm so sorry; I'm afraid T. can't fall in love with John." "I don't think he will mind," I said, twith a touch of malice in my tone. Meg sighed profoundly, her eyes atill dancing with merry laughter. "Is his heart all yours? Poor me, poor world, poor rest of us." "Oh, Meg, don't be such a goose!" "I'm trying to be serious, like you. An engagement, Kitty, is a most serious thing. And the first serious consideration is the ring—diamonds, of course—refuse, dear, to have anything to say to anything but diamonds. Now, Kitty, let me offer you a piece of advice. Be exacting; a lover is nothing unless he brings daily gifts of flowers, acd fruit and chocolate creams. Keep that well before his mind. Heliotrope ,.nd maiden-hair fern and chocolate creams daily! My spirits are rising. Now and then you can suggest that chocolate almonds will be welcome to me for a change." "But he isn't engaged to you," I said, laughing. "No. Preserve me! But let's be f a i r — l e t ' s divide things equally— you're welcome to John, but let me have the flowers and sweets. And Dora—well, Dora shall wear the flowers wlien I have done with them. Flowers that I wear always live for a second day. Do you know that that's unlucky? If you're to be lucky in life, and in love, the flowers you wear should wither quickly. Did you e r e r hear of that superstition?" "Never." "Be more sympathetic, Kitty. Don't say 'nerer' in that flat tone. Please to realize my tragedy. No one is coming to woo me—no one is coming to werl. No John will ever say he loves me. By the by, Kitty, did J o h n say he loved you?" I flashed one quick glance at her, and caught the thought in her mind. "Yes," I said in a voice that would not be steady in spite of all my efforts; "and I wanted to tell you—you were all wrong, you and Dora and Aunt Jane. He does care for me. He cares for me for my own sake—for his own sake—not for duty !n the least." Meg looked at me doubtfully for a moment, a little graver than her wont " T h a t ' s very nice," she said, gently; but there was a note of unreality in her tone: and I knew I had not convinced her.

L. ANDREWS CDlTOR. T H U R S D A Y , OCT. 19,1899. Our Country Roads. [cOXTKIHUTED.J Although fanners a r e a proverbially honest class of people, it is not uncommon to see certain human tendences showing in them, as well as amonjj those who have more favorable opportunities of defrauding the public. More particularly is this shown in the payment of taxes, especially road taxes. While if our present laws were obeyed it would take but a few years to p u t our roads into fine condition, most of them in this township are as bad as gross negligence of duty and i g n o r a n t road making can produce- The highway law is plain a n d while reading it one wonders at the deplorable condition of the roads, b u t to those who investigate it becomes . evident that the real fault lies in the officers who have taken oath to execute the laws. The highway commissioner being elected for one year only, dares not enforce the laws for fear he may not be re-elected and from the apparent a p at by of farmers in regard to good roads his fears seem to be justified. There are many funny things in this world and the fact that t h e average farmer will wallow through sand with his produce for fifty years rather t h a n do a lew days road work is one of them. Some of our pathmasters seem to forget that they are liable to a rather heavy fine for neglect of duty and if an example was made of one ot them it might have a wholesome effect upon the rest. They'say that ''Charity should begin at home" but perhaps this is also true of reforms. Q D o n ' t try to reform your legislators, they are too far away, and besides, they have a 'greater opportunity for disobeying'the laws than the highway officers. Its all on the same principle but the other fellows have the better chance, and when the farmer steals a few days work the legislator steals a few thousand dollars. Try your reforms on a small plan at first. Commence a t the foundation and your reform will have something to stand on. A tew rods ot good roads built each year would soon make good roads everywhere. Clay on sand roads, or gravel on low wet spots makes excellent roads. Crushed stone makes a p e r m a n e n t road and is far cheaper in the end than a n y other form of road b u i l d i n g , as is testified to by towns owning crushers and rollers. The first expense is not large in proporti on to the result obtained and it is practically the only way to make permanently good roads in places where good gravel is conveniently obtainable. The good road question is b ing so strongly agitated at present that it is only a question of a year OF two when people will either demand strict obeyance of present laws or vote a money tax for road purposes, a condition which farmers miorht find much more expensive than that which exists u n . d e r the present Jaw.

This paragraph has been floats ing in the papers. I t contains much for young men to think about and it was written by Robert J. Burdette, one of the Ram's Horn's staff contributors, it will possess peculiar interest for our readers. "My homeless friend with the chromatic nose, while you are etiringup the sugar in a ten-cent glass of gin, let me give you a fact to wash down with it. You may eay that you have longed for years for the free independent life of a farmer, but you have never been able to save money enough to buy a farm. But there is where you were mistaken. For some years you have been drinking a good improved farm at the rate of one hundred square feet at a gulp. If you doubt this statement, figure it out for yourself. An acre of land contains 43,560 square feet. Estimating, for convenience, the land at $43.56 per acre, you will gee that it brings the land just one mill per square foot. Now pour down a fiery dose and imagine you are swallowing a strawberry patch. Call in five of your friends and have them help you gulp down that five hundred foot garden. G«"t on a prolonged spree some day ard see how long it will take to swallow a pasture land to feed a cow. Put down that glass of gin; there is dirt in it—three hundred feet of good rich dirt, worth §43.5G per acre. A N A I I K O W E S C A P E T h a n k f u l w o r d y w r i t t e n b y M r i . A d a E .

Lifennoro, Saturday, Oct. 14. A chicken pie dinner was served, after which the meeting was called to order by the president. Prayer was offered by Mr. Frank H i m i e a n d the business of the club transacted. After the singing of America, A. A. Stowe presented a paper upon the subCect "Ditching". l i e said it was the water coming up out of the ground that caused marshes; that there were but few marshes that did not average 40 rods G r e e r , S e c y . ; W i n n i e B u r n e t t , ' iu width; he then made an estimate with regard to the cost of ditching, and said that | 1 2 per acre was placing a high figure upon it; he did not to any great extent recommend public ditching; a ditch should be 5 ft. deep (6 ft. was better) 2 ft. on bottom, and sides at angle of 4"> degrees; at first lie found lie could not raise much on the drained land, but afterwards raised good cro'ps, and'that the application of barnyard manure was beneficial. C. M. Wood opened the discussion. H e said he thought that public drainage was apt to be too expensive; that one reason why the land was not productive was because it was too cold, anil recommended the spreading of manure upon i(, and if the muck was deep a coat of sand was an avantage. Frank Reason said that he had 75 or SO acres of swamp land burned over and on this he raised good crops of timothy and corn, while upon the laud adjoining, which had not been burned, none of these crops could be raised. '/. Hartsuff said that he had burned the muck off about an acre and for two years raised timothy upon the land, but since that time nothing would seem to grow upon it. Mr. Biruie said that marsh land was composed of excess of vegetahle matter, and that fraarsh land varied the same as upland, that dirierent marshes required different treatment, and that he believed great benefit was to be derived from under draining. Wirt Barton then read a paper upon the subject " T h e effect of trusts upon the farmers' interests." Some of the thoughts which he presented are these: Small manufacturing concerns, which at one time gave people work and wages, are now replaced by great manufacturing concerns which are controlled by trusts; the iron trust had caused iron to advance iu price; railroad lines are also owned by a few individuals and as a consequence the. farmer is forced to sell has products at -\ lower price to pay the higher railroad rates; he recommended co-operation as the only remedy for the farmer. The discussion was opened Mr. Hartsuff. His expression was " D e a t h to trusts." Wm. Randolph said: " W e can only judge the future by the past"; so far trusts were for the trusts. but we had no right to say that all trusts which might be organized would be detrimental; the object of trusts so far seemed to be monopolize political men; Vhe effect of-tr\^its upon the farming interests had been to raise the price of everything which the farmer must buy: he spoke in detrimental terms of the last legislature, and said that trusts get the laws made as they want them. Mrs. A. A. Stowe said: " T a r - iff is the mother of trust*" and wanted to know how long we have had tariff. Mr. Randolph's reply was, that we have had tariff since Washington's time. C. M. Wo»d said there was a strong duty on farm products; that all farm products, except ing wheat, brought a good price, that steel and iron advanced because of increase in demand and decrease in supply; he thought co-'oporation, to far as possible, advisable. Mrs. R. R. Smith said that if in heaven they understood what we were doing here on earth, that Lincoln must be overcome with shame when he sees his name at the head of the Republican party; she said that if the farmers would pull together, act together, a n d know no party, they could get whatever they wanted. David Taylor then favored the audience with ah instrumental solo. After this Wm, Savlet gave a paper upon ths subject, " T h e social advantages of the farmers' c l u b . ' ' H e s a i d : this is an age of unity, of an educational standpoint; to the fanner what the schools to the children; he rather thought (if the people could hold their temperl that it was a good idea to diseuss politics at the club; and that every fanner that joins, becomes better liy associating with his fellow-beings. Emory tilenn also thought politics might be disciUNed, but evervbodv should be very careful not to get mail. The program closed with a vocal solo by Miss Nellie Gardner. The next meeting will be held at the home of Silas Barton, Nov. 11. Cor. Sec'y. S T I L L MOKE LOCAL.

Eminent critics in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo and other cities have spoken in high terms. After a first hearing in Chicago arrangements were at once made for a return concert. Wilson G.

On the Other Hand, Consumption is robbed of lis terrors by the fact that the best medical authorities state that it is a curable disease; and one of the happy things about it is, that its victims rarely ever lose hope. You know there are all sorts of secret nostrums advertised to cure consumption. Some make absurd claims. We only say that if taken in time and the laws of health are properly observed, SCOTT'S EMULSION will heal the inflammation of the throat and kings and nourish and strengthen the body so that K can throw off the disease.

For the sake of seeming to sell cheaper we will not under any circumstances sell a quality of Carpet that we do not have faith in. We Must Protect Our Future. Thirty years ago we commenced to sell goods in Jackson. Thirty years from now we want to be selling goods here. We must, for our own protection, sell only reliable merchandise, fcfor if we sell you the other kind we can't keep on doing business with you. Some Carpets are Advertised at Lower Prices than we would advertise them. Why? Because we would not have those Carpets in the store. If we told you the truth about them you would not buy them, and we won't sell Carpets that we can't tell the truth about. ... ,U The Lowest Priced is not always the cheapest. 9ours*respectfaUy, I*ii~F IE LD.

When the body was recovered the pockets were found to contain large stones, which gives rise to a murder theory.. Horner disappeared Oct 9. The MunicinaL League of Republiccan clubs, of Port Huron, one of the most complete local political organizations in the state has perfected arrangements for the largest banquet ever held in the 7th district. November 3 is the date set and 500 plates wilL be laid. A dastardly crime was committed near the village of Cascade, Kent county, on the evening of the l'8th, when the 9-year-old daughter of J. W. Russ was seized on her way from school and assaulted. The child, managed to reach home but was in a petiable condition. Attorney - Genera1 Oren has been asked to assist in the investigation of several apparently flagrant cases of fraudulent assessments in Roscommon county, where it is claimed certain supervisors have been ignoring the law and favoring the lumbering interests to an unusual degree. The state board of auditors vigorously deny that t h e state pledged itself to pay a bounty of ¢7.50 per month to men born in Michigan, who served in Cuba or the Philippines. A paragraph to that effect is going the rounds and many ex-soldiers have applied for blanks so as to obtain the bounty. A farmer living near Alamo recently i dressed a sheep which had been killed by a dog, and he and his family feasted on the meat. Now his 13-year-old daughter is in a precarious condition, her limbs being swollen to twice their natural size, and physicians pronounce it a case of poisoning from eating diseased meat. The new wall being laid at Jackson prison will prohibit tunneling to freedom on the part of convicts. The wall is five feet in thickness and is being made with boulders. At the northeast corner are three " h a r d heads" upon which the corner is laid t h a t weigh respectively 0,570, 0,170 and 6,880 pounds. The schools and churches at Memphis, Macomb county, have been closed on account of the prevalence of scarlet fever at that place. Business is at a standstill, and if the disease is not soon controlled it will be necessary to quarantine the town. Only one death has thus far resulted, and as the disease is of a mild nature the physicians hope soon to get it under control, A special from Mafeking on tho ISth saj'S that after a few shots were tired from the Boers' cannon, the British, who were occupying the town, raised the emblem of surrender. The Volksten, the Boer otficial organ nt Pretoria, says that during the various skirmishes near Mafeking and other points the Boer casualties number between 00 or 70 killed and wounded, but that success attended every battle thus far. The British'loss is unknown. Dispatches from Cape Town on the 16th were very meager, but they include an important message from Glencoe Camp anuouneing t h a t the Boer commandoes which invaded Natal through Laings Nek, and, after occupying Newcastle, advanced to Pannhauses, but retired on I n g a g a n e o n the evening of the loth, their transport service being reported detective. This will delay indefinitely the anticipated and hoped-for assault on t h e strong British position at Glencoe.. The government of Ontario- late on the afternoon of the 16th receiTed a dispatch from the war office,, stating t h a t iu response to tho urgent appeal of the Canadian ministry the-imperial authorities consented to t h e Canadian contingent going to the Transvaal as a distinct brigade. The cost will be about S150.000. It is estimated t h a t from lT,000'~to 13,000 Free State Boers are watching the passes in the Drakonberg range from Oliver's Hook to Collins' Pass* They have pushed a few patriots down the Berg, but hitherto the main force has not debouched from the actuul passage, which is being intrenched. Secretary Chamberlain, in addressing the house of commons on the lUth, used sue!) strong language in defense of bis conduct t h a t the speaker made hrrn withdraw some of it. He was condemned by members of the oppositibu, but the vote showed a big majority for the government. A special dispatch from Cape Town, dated Oct. 17th, says a big battle has been fought at Mafeking and that the Boers were repulsed, losing 300 men against 18 Britishers killed. According to the program of embarkations from Great Britain within the ue^ct few dayw;- -the-yew+U—be—sbrp-- ped a total of IS,000 troops of all ranks and l,fti)0 horses. Word has been received of a b i g slaughter of Boers near Mafeking, when 1,500 were led into a death t r a p and the mines exploded at the hands of t h e British. T h e 21st Essex, Ont., Fusiliers will be entitled to send eight men of the 1.000» t h a t the Canadian government will send to Britain's aid in the Transvaal. It is estimated t h a t there are 10,()00 Boer soldiers at Natal. All non-combatants and women and children have been sent from Dundee. Two Boer spies were arrested at l<adysmith on the 16th and hunded ©*er to the military authorities. Political Assessments Forbidden. The postmaster-general has issued) a formal warning to all postmasters against the levying of political asses*- , ments, and simultaneously the civil service commission has called attention to the law governing the subject, and of the commission's intention t o enforce it. This general warning is similar to that issued heretofore prior to political campaigns, andi, it is understood, follows complaints ol specific violation of the law received from Ohio and other states, where elections are to be held this year. A aotiee has also been promulgated, to be posted in all postoftices, directing employes t h a t they are not obliged to make contributions for political purposes, and will not be molested or discriminated against for failure to so subscribe or contribute. T H E N E W S C O N D E N S E D I t is estimated on reliable authority t h a t Natal has a fighting force of 15,- 000 men. On the 18th 19 insurance companies doing business in Missouri each paid a fine of $1,000. T h e fine was for t h e violation of the anti-trust laws. A Rock Island train struck a wagon containing a party going to a charivari near Seymour, la., on the 18th and killed one person and injured nine others. In a fit of insanity F r a n k E. Babcock, a farmer residing near Redwood Fall, Minn., murdered his wife and three sons and then shot himself in the mouth, dying instantly. Two excursion steamers plying between Chicago and St. Joe, will next season be fitted with stage and scenery, and patrons will be permitted to attend a theatrical performance while en route. The following advices from Honolulu under date of Oct. 8 has, been received: The hospital ship Relief and the transports Tacoina, Sherman und Grant have all departed for Manila. Previous to the departure of the Tac uua the military authorities caused a search to be made for five soldiers of the hospital corps stationed a t Honolulu, who liad stowed themselves away on board the ship in hope of getting to Manila. It is thought t h a t the other two missing men are ou the Taconoa. The 6th artillery batteries, stationed here, have lost between 20 aud 30 men io the last few days by desertion. AL the soldiers here are anxions to be sent to Manila. The men think they can steal aboard a transport and o » arrival report t o the officers of t h e 0th at Manila and escape with slight punishment. The soldiers are willing" to stand 30 days in t h e guard house for the sake of getting to- the scene of t h e war. Director of Posts Vallle at Manila has sent to Postmaster-General Smith at Washington, a letter entering an absolute denial of a published charge of censorship of the mails at Manila. Mr. Vaille says: " I wish to state positively t h a t there has never been a sin* gle letter for the states opened iu this office or bv anyone after it was mailed at this office and before i t s dispatch to« t h e states. It is inexcusable for anyone connected with the army in Manila to make the assertion- t h a t t h e r e was any censorship of the mails," A special from Washington says t h a t t h e combined military and naval forces of the United States in the Philippines, when all the troops and ships now under orders reach their destination, will aggregate more than 70,000 men and 45 war vessels. The last of these forces will arrive in Manila early in December. The strength of t h e navy force will be: Combatants, 03,872; noncombatants, 1.500. Navy: Ships, 43; bluejackets, 4,997; marines, 1,184. Mail advices from lloilo say there is great tension between the Vis-cayans and Tagolas, and the latter are concent r a t i n g troops at Santa Barbara, Panay island, with the purpose of suppressi n g the Viscayans. It is also reported t h a t the insurgents will have 12,000' men at Santa Barbara, and with this force Gen. Magbanna intends to attack Lloilo, carrying the city and slaughter t h e Americans. A special from Washington says t h a t t h e belief at the war department is t h a t the series of promotions and retirements following Shafter's removal from t h e active list, will result in Gen. Lavvton getting the brigadier generalship and that *he next vacancy in t h a t r a n k , in J a n u a r y , 1900, following the retirement of Gen. Anderson will be filled by Gen. Mac Arthur. Major Cheatham, with a scouting party, while proceeding along the west shore of the lake on the 12 th encountered a force of rebels strongly intrenched at Muntinlupa. He reports t h a t he drove the rebels from their position, and t h a t in the engagement three Americans were killed and t w o w e r e wounded. The w a r department has ordered the 42d regiment volunteers to proceedi from Fort Niagara, N. Y., Oct. 30, for San Francisco, there to embark for t h e ' Philippines. The 40th regiment at Fort Riley, Kas., is also ordered to* proceed to San Francisco on the samedate, bound for Manila. Col. Bell's regiment, moving from' a<. position northwest of Bacolor, on themorning of the 17th, drove the enemy o n t of Porac. One American was killed and one wounded. The Filipinos lost a number of killed and wounded, and t h e Americans captured two bullock carts of ammunition. The retirement of Gen. Shaffer a t San Francisco on the 16th did not affect t h a t officer's rank in the volunteer establishment or cause any change in his present command. As the case stands Shafter is a brigadier in t h e regular establishment and a majorgeneral of volunteers. Fears are entertained of the safety of the ste&mer Senator, carrying the 51st Iowa, which left Yokohoma for San Francisco eight hours before the- Empress, whose skipper- announces t h a t he encotintered the worst s t o r m experienced during t h e 4:3. voyages o£ t h e Empress., The insurgents made an attack upon Angeles at 2:30 o'clock in the morning on the 16th. One American was killed and seven were wounded. The Filipinos used artillery,, a few shells exploding. The 17th„ &th and 13th regiments engaged t h e enemy, who retired a t 5:30 a. m. The latest from t h e battle fields i s to the effect t h a t Gen. Rio Del Pilar has offered to surrender his army and deliver Aguinaldo to Gen. Otis for ¢500,000. He also circulates a rumor t h a t if Otis declines to buy him off t h a t he will enter Manila and k i d n a p him. America's new navy which is soon to be completed comprises five battle* ships, one cruiser, one training ship and 25 torpedo boats and destroyers. This number will be addled t o the navy within the next year. On the 16th au American scouting party near Balinate captured 11 Fillpines. Another, near Maycauyan, captured a Filipino major. All were taken to Manila. m « U M « w u m M % M « i w « M m M « KITTY'S HUSBAND • n u t M u m m w n i u u w M m t w By Author of "Hetty," Etc ~*44t CHAPTER VII.—(Continued.) We moved away from the window of t h e staircase and went downstairs together. "You don't mind my laughing, dear?" Meg questioned, still with gentleness. "I didn't mean it. In my heart I like John very much—all except— well, all except the speckled beard. If I laugh at him sometimes, you won't mind, will you? It's my 'Way—I laugh a t everything—when one doesn't laugh one's spirits get so low! Shall I tell you what mamma is doing in the drawing-room? She is secretly whispering the good news to every one. Every one has come, and every o n e is duly impressed by your good fortune, Kitty. Now for the congratulations! Oh, poor dear, I pity you for t h e next few hours!" But the next few hours, had as they •were, were over at length. The piano w a s silent again; the gas in the drawing- room was turned frugally low beh i n d the last of the departing guests. Only John Mortimer remained behind. He drew me close to him where he Btood, and looked at me with a questioning, very gentle glance. . "You do not regret what you promised me this evening?" he queried. "Do you regret what you asked me?" I said. Neither question was answered. But we were looking eagerly at eye another, and presently our eyes smiled, and that seemed all the answer we required. "Good night, Kitty," said John. "Good night," I answered; and he bent and kissed me. John was gone, Aunt Jane was looking round at tfte disorder of the drawing- room, smoothing away the creases in an antimacassar that had suffered In the revelry. "So we're going to lose you, Kitty," Meg's novel unround, my errand, indeed, forgotten. Aunt Jane's words were enigmatical; but they left me with a heartache. CHAPTER VIII. Aunt Jane had her way. When, Indeed, was Aunt Jane ever known to renounce a plan she had set her heart on? She had determined t h a t John and I should be married without delay, and the weightiest reasons weighed as nothing against her resolute desire. The plan for summer holidays in Cornwall was forthwith abandoned; John's visit to Brittany was given up— some one else undertook the business which called him there; and, before September was a fortnight old, John and I were married. Aunt Jane had got rid of me forever—got rid of my hats and gowns and gloves and shoes from all future bills, got rid of the price of my appetite at breakfasts, lunches, teas, and dinners henceforth and for evermore. We were married very quietly. I wore a. little gray bonnet and gown of Aunt Jane's choosing, a bonnet and gown so mature that they seemed to reprove my 17 years. I had no cake, no cards, no wedding breakfast, no wedding favors, no rice, no satin slipperi—" in every way," said the girls, "it was a hole-and-corner, mean, iu>romantic, perfectly dull and detestable sort of wedding!" I never agreed with them. Except for Aunt Jane's presence, I w*ould not have had one circumstance of my wedding- different. Even the grimy, outof- the-way little London church seemed lovely—the only fit church to be married in. Our honeymoon was as prosaic, in the girls' eyes, as our wedding had been. We went away for fvo short weeks to a quiet little country place I KNELT B E F O R E THE F I R E . «aid Uncle Richard, putting his hands kindly upon my shoulders as I stood up to bid him good night. "Kitty is very lucky," said Aunt Jane, raising her hand to turn tbe gas .atill lower. "A home of her own at !her age is more than she could reasonably have hoped for!" "I wish you were a little older," «aid Uncle Richard, regretfully. "I've •been talking to John—he must be patient and wait. We can't let you run a w a y just yet." "Let the child go to bed, Richard," interposed Aunt Jpne. "John's a good fa'.low, Kitty,'" said Uncle Richard, in a hasty but kindly way. "I hope you'll be happy, dear." "Thank you," 1 said hurriedly, and disappeared. Meg had left a novel In the drawing- ,room, and sweetly besought m e to r e - turn and fetch it. I descended, therefore, after a miaute, to the drawingroom again. Aunt Jane was speaking. She did not see me; she was too busy arranging the displaced furniture. "Waiting is nonsense, Richard, and especially in this case. There shall be no waiting in the matter. If we wait until the winter, Madame Arnaud will be in London. If wo wait till t h e * w e may wait forever." I bad stood for a minute In t b e doorw a y ; now I quickly retraced my steps, beside t h e sea—not a fashionable resort, but a little outlying seafaring hamlet where John and I were the only visitors. Before September -was over we were at home iu London—at home for the first time in my life. The words had a sweet meaning for me, We had a small house near Hyde Park, near the larger, much finer house that John had taken for .Madame Arnaud and bfc sister. It had a homelike look. A* we drove up in the gray, misty September evening there was a bright ray of light falling across the pavement from the open door; gaslight shone through the drawn red curtains of one room downstairs; in another room, where no gas was lighted, firelight was dancing gaily. "Are you happy, K i t t y ? " asked John as, a few minutes later, we stood together in the pretty Are-lit room, my drawing-room, and I twined by hands about his arm. "So happy," I answered, " t h a t I am almost afraid." "Afraid of what, my dear?" he questioned with his Blow, grave, tender smile. "I don't know of what—but afraid. I don't want the days to pass, John; I don't want anything to happen. I think I am growing a coward. I am so afraid of changes!" , **We W e one another well enough to trust the future, Kitty." I kneU before the fire and held out my hands *o the welcome blaze. John drew forward a cosy chair and seated himself near me, looking about with an observant glance at all the dainty trappings of the room, and looking still oftener at me. "It's strange to think of!" I said, dreamily, drawing a long, deep breath, and turning my face toward him. "To think of what, dear?" "Of our living hore together for years and years—I wonder how many years?" "Very many, I hope." "Until we're quite old folk, and you wear spectacles, and I wear -caps. John, do you know what I am always wishing now?" "What, dear?'* "That the years were longer. Time goes so quickly now, and I used to Plg-a f h a t «Jo D o w n U e h l i i O . Those pigs that "go down behind'* i r e a puzzle to most swine-breeders, and the common idea is that they have kidney worms. This, however, is a mistake in a majority of cases, for post-mortem examination has failed to disclose a single worm in the kidne/B of such hegs. The fact of the matter is that these paralyzed pigs are but the evidence of improper feeding and management. Experiments at the Wisconsin Experiment Station some years ago proved beyond question that a sole diet of corn fails to produce strong bones in growing pigs, and that on the contrary such young animals require a mixed ration of a highly nitrogenous character in order to develop ail of the organs, tissues and bones in the most perfect manner. When pigs are weaned and the corn crop is coming into use farmers are too apt to use it as a sole ration for pigs. It SWANSON'S " 5 DROPS" is the sun uf thebick room.

Used time to drag is so easy and handy to use, and the with you, too, John, before—before you married rhe?" John's gray eyes were less grave than mine. They twinkled at me. "Sometimes," he said. "Only sometimes? It seems to me, looking back, that time always dragged with me. Do you know, John, that I can't bear to think of my old self. I'm so sorry for her. Poor old self, she was so miserable, so very miserable; but she didn't know." "Don't speak of that old self as dead and gone, Kitty. I won't have it. I have a very tender feeling in my heart for that old self that I fell in love with." "So have I, because you fell in love with her; I won&sr why you fell in love with me—I'm glad you did." I was sitting on the rug now beside his chair. I looked up at him with a happy little smile. He smoothed back my hair slowly with a caressing touch. "Are you glad I fell in love with you?" I asked, still smiling softly. "Do you want me to answer, that question, K i t t y ? " "No; I ask silly questions, don't I? I'm going to ask one more question, John, a serious question: Were you happy, really happy, before you knew me?" "When I knew you first, Kitty, I'm afraid you didn't make much difference to my happiness," he replied, banteringly, and a little evasively. "No, I know. You knew me first so many years ago! You knew me in my perambulator. You've seen me in a high chair eating soup. Oh, John, I can't bear to think that you knew me when I was such a silly little thing! I wonder wi.en you first began to love me. I wonder when I first begin to cr.re f.>:' you. Were ycu happy before I loved you—ever—ever, J o h n ?

The American observers came to the concusion t h a t sheep were not susceptible, but they only report one experiment in which blood waa injected into a lamb. By similar experiments on two sheep in Queensland Dr. Hunt set up fever in both. One recovered and one was killed in a dying .state. Postmortem examination did not reveal the characteristic lesion cf tick fever, and the examination for micro-organisms was indefinite. The blood from one of the sheep injected into a bullock 'produced no well-marked disease.' The evidence is, perhaps, no more than suspicious, but it is possible that tick fever, like tuberculosis, occasionally occurs in sheep. As Dr. Hunt remarks, ihe subject merits further study."

"I suppose you were often happy?" I added, after a moment, resignedly, yet regretfully. "But it was different. You wore never quite as happy, John, as you are now?" "No; not as happy as new, Kitty," he said; but his air was a little abstracted as he spoke, and somehow his assurance did not satisfy me. It was .perhaps an hour later. We had had our first meal in our new home—I Installed in dignity at the head of my table, John facing me at the other end. We had come back into the dainty, pretty little drawing-room to find curtains drawn, the hearth well swept, and shaded lamps casting a soft-co2ored light around the room. I had brought John a newspaper, looking at him beseechingly even as I laifl it down before him, and hoping that he would not read it. He did not see or did not rightly interpret my beseeching glance, and thanked me with a grateful smile. He was soon absorbed in the leading article, and I sat on t h e floor again beside him and made little nrforta every now and then to distract his attention.

Walking should be the first gait j taught a horse, and while training to other gaits he should be brought back to a walk frequently in order that he may not lose the benefit of his first teaching.

First, a s already stated, it is the longest asphalted street in the world; secondly, it is the only street which is of even width for eleven miles, and this width is the greatest ever attained by any street for a course of eleven miles. It is also the straightest street, for from League Island to the county line It does not vary an inch, except where the great city building causes the street to turn around it. Seven miles of the street are asphalted, but the remainder is provided with a roadbed of fine macadam, which 13 continued by the old York road, which extends for about twenty miles farther on. A carriage can drive on this street and ro#J and make only one turn in thirty-one miles. Brosd street is 113 feet wide and measures sixty-nine feet from curb to curb, and thirty-five men can walk abreast of tt patience of his owner.—Texas Stock Journal. Live The Shingle Tick.—The shingle tick is what we commonly call the cattle tick. It is a very easy matter to destroy the cattle tick. The short lifehistory of the tick is as follows: An adult tick will drop on the ground and deposit 2,500 eggs. These eggs hatch, and the young crawl upon the grasses and plants, ready to attach to anything that comes along. It has not the power of selecting its host. It attaches itself to the first thing that comes along, and sheep, upon which the tick cannot live, are frequently pastured with cattle to exterminate it. It is called the shingle tick on account of the peculiar way in which they overlap each other when on a n animal. G u a r t l A g a i n s t D e a d l y C r o u p .

God supplemented their fitness by His own power—the powof the Holy Ghost. It is the same power—the power of the Holy Spirit—that moves the world today. T h e enthusiasm that is needed in t h e christian life today, is the enthusiasm which comes from the Holy Ghost. Deacon Colby Baid, a man may be a good christian and not adapted to bring men into t h e fold of Christ. We must first cultivate the heart and then convince the world that we are honest and sincere for their soul's salvation. The paper, ''Responsibility of the pastor for Service," by Rev. B. F . Aldrich, did not believe that a minister should get out sentimental hodge podge to draw a crowd. H i s must be a hearty, loving, earnest service. One of the main things is to inspire others to good and effectual service. The pastor should lind a duty suited to every member and try and get that member to perform that duty. The pastor should see that the music was a worship; did not believe in hired singers just because their voices were good, as too many times the soprano spent the time of the sermon in eating chocolate benbous behind the screen, the tenor read t h e Sunday paper, and the pro foundo basso went out on the street to smoke a cigarette. Did not believe that kind of music was worship. Would have every member of his choir, if possible, a member of his church, but they should be all right morally at any rate." In discussion, Rev. Win. Ewing said, "what the churches need is to get rid of i t s selfishness—pastor and people should work together unitedly. Rev. J. W. Bradshaw:— The glad and loving service will aim to bring about a service lik^ that found in the business and social life where much is done just to please. The merchant goes out of h i s way to perform some service for a customer—so the christian should not be afraid of helping other-, even though it is not to his liking. C. S. Jones:— Tue pastor should be in the vanguard— it is his duty to poiut out the wrong, stimulate the good work. Warren:—We should have a closer understanding of the exaltation of service. Our Master, came not to be ministered untoj but to minister." Our richest1 blessings comes from serving. I f m*4^^^*K>.

From the Seventh Chapter and Eighth Verie of Deuteronomy as Follow*: "The Lord Thjr God Will Send the Hornet." The gossip delivers many a telling fclow, but they are always foul. No man is a hero to his valet, and ao man wants to be a valet to his hero. The man who is satisfied with himself is usually disappointed with other people. An axiom goes without saying. Would that all earthly bores were axioms. A man isn't necessarily rich when ke is accused of having more money than bra\ns. A man may forget the dollar he borrowed, but he always remembers the one he loaned. A broken heart must be worse than a broken head, no man being compelled to carry the latter around with him. These are the days when no man can safely go away from home without carrying a fall overcoat, a straw hat and an umbrella. The man "who knew Lincoln intimately" will have a whole lot of new ones thought up by the time the Dewey hurrah sobers down. (Copyright 1899 by Louis Klopsch.) It seems as if the iusectile world were determined to extirpate the human race. It bombards the grain fields and the orchards and the vineyards. The Colorado beetle, the Nebraska grasshopper, the New Jersey locust, the universal potato-beetle, seem to carry on the work which was begun ages ago when the insects buzzed out of Noah's Ark as the door was opened. In my text, the hornet flies out on its mission. It is a species of wasp, swift in its motion and violent in its sting. Its touch is torture to man or beast. We have all seen the cattle run bellowing under the cut of its , lancet. In boyhood we used to stand cautiously looking at the globular nest hung from the tree-branch, and while we were looking at the wonderful covering, we were struck with something that sent us shrieking away. The hornet goes in swarms. It has captains over hundreds, and twenty of them alighting on one man will produce certain death, The Persians attempted to conquer a Christian city, but the elephants and the beasts on which the Persians rode were assaulted by the hornet, so that the whole army was broken up, and the besieged city was rescued. This burning and noxious insect stung out the Hittites and the Canaanites from their country. What gleaming sword and chariot cf war could not accomplish was done by the puncture of an insect. "The Lord sent the hornet." My friends, when we are assaulted by great Behemoths of trouble, we become chivalric. and we assault them; we get on the high-mettled steed of our courage, and we make a cavalry charge at them, and, if God be with us, we a number of excellent paper cannon and now proposes to make armor for war vessels out of the same material, Paper armor will be the final blow to the romance of naval battle and the song of the naval poet. The poet, after a hard struggle, was able to forget the towering mast and swelling sail and to write "songs of the ships of steel," but how can he handle rhyme and rhythm to glorify the ships of paper? Now that the European demand for American apples is heavyj it being estimated that it will be this season 1,217,707 barrels in excess of the demand last year, apple-growers in this countiy are looking forward to much higher prices, especially as this year's home crop is from one-half to threequarters less than what is looked upon as a full crop. In New York state farmers are now getting from 75 cents to $1.25 a barrel for apples under the trees. The standard apple for the European market is the Baldwin. Of the 12,437 barrels of this year's crop shipped since Aug. 1 the lowest price netted to the American exporter is $3 per barrel, and the price has kept nearer $4. A year ago the ¢200,000,000 cloth combine would have attracted considerable continent, but coming at this late date it finds the public too familiar j c c m e o u t stronger and better than with such institutions to notice it. when we went in. But, alas for these insectile annoyances of life—these foes Krupp, the gunmaker, has completed ] t 0 ° s m a 1 1 to shoot—these things without any avoirdupois weight—the gnats and the midges and the flies ana the wasps and the hornets.' In other words, it is the small stinging annoyances of our life which drive us out and use us up. In the best-conditioned life, for some grand and glorious purpose God has sent the hornet. I remark, in the first place, that these small stinging annoyances may come in the shape of a nervous organization. People who are prostrated under typhoid fevers or with broken bones get plenty of sympathy; but who pities anybody that is nervous? The doctors say, and the family say, and everybody says, "Oh, she's only a little nervous; that's all!" The sound of a heavy foot, the harsh clear?n$ cf a throat, a discord in music, a vrant of harmony. between the shawl and the glove en the same person, a curt answer, a passing slight, the wind from the east, any one of ten thousand annoyances, opens the door for the hornet. The fact is, that the vast majority of the people in this country are overworked, and their nerves are the first to give out. A great multitude are under the strain of Leyden, who, when he was told by his physician that if he did not stop working while he was in such poor physical health he would die, responded, "Doctor, whether I live or die, the wheel must keep going round." These sensitive persons, of whom I speak, have a bleeding sensitiveness. The flies love to light on anything raw, and these people are like the Canaanites spoken of in the text or in the context—they have a very thin covering, and are vulnerable at all points. "And the Lord sent the hornet." A^ain, the small Insect annoyances may come to us in the shape of friends and acquaintances who are always saying disagreeable things. There are some people you cannot' be with for half an hour but you fee'i cheered and comforted. Then there are other people you cannot be with for five minutes before you feel miserable. They do not mean to disturb you, but they sting you to the bone. They gather up all the yarn which the gossips spin, and retail it. They gather up all the adverse criticisms about your person. about your business, about your home, abou* your church, and they make your ear the funnel into which they pour It. They laugh heartily when they tell you, as though it were a good joke, and you laugh, too—outside. These people are brought to our attention in the Bible, in the book of Ruth. Naomi went forth beautiful and with the finest of worldly prospects, into another land, but after a while she came back widowed and sick and poor. What did her friends do when she came to the city? They all went out, and instead of giving her common-sense consolation, what did ',hey do? Read the Look of Ruth and and out They threw up their hands and said, "Is this Naomi?" a« much as to say, "How awful bad you do look!" When 1 entered the ministry I looked was asked if I had not consumption, and passing through the room I would sometimes hear people sigh and say, "A-ah! not long for this world!" I resolved in those times, that I never, in any conversation, would say anything depressing, and by the help of God I have kept the resolution. These people of whom I speak reap and bind in the great harvest-field of discouragement. Some day you greet them with a hilarious "good-morning," and they come buzzing at you with some depressing information. *%he Lor<2 sent the hornet." * * * * * w * In the village of Hamlin, tradition says, there was an invasion of rats, and these small creatures almost devoured the town, and threatened the lives of the population, and the story Is that a piper came out one day and played a very sweet tunc, and all the vermin followed him—followed him to the banks of the Weser, and then he blew a blast and they dropped in and disappeared forever. Of course, this Is a fable, but I wish I could, on tho sweet flute of the gospel, draw forth all the nibbling and burrowing annoyances of your life, and play them down into the depths forever. How many touches did Mr. Church give to his picture of "Cotopaxi," or his "Heart of the Andes"? I suppose about fifty thousand touches. I hear the canvas saying, • Why do you keep me trembling with that pencil so long? Why don't you put it on in one dash?" "No," says Mr. Church, "I know how to make a painting; it will take fifty thousand of these touches." And I ODE BUDGET OF PUN. SOME GOOD JOKES.

"Consider little things," ' Hla father used to say; "Remember 'tis the mite that bring* The large return your way." The truth his father taught; He heard the precious words indeed,- But very soon forgot, A large return his way! What Did She Mean? "Let a man tell you his story ever? morning and evening." said a famous Englishman, in characterizing the newspaper, "and at the end of a twelvemonth he will have become your master." What if the man is brazenfaced, a chronic liar, one who rejoices In iniquity, and is utterly reckless In principle, who is thus welcomed daily to the home circle? Ought not a newspaper that is indifferent to truth, is self-seeking, and has no regard for individual rightB or for public morals to be treated as you would deal with a scoundrel who seeks admission to your room and company? Let an unprincipled journal tell you its daily story, and by an inexorable moral law you will in due time have an "evil spirit" for your master. Under the terms of his father's will, which have just been made public, Cornelius Vandsrbilt, Jr., has bfeen cut off with the portion of a younger son as punishment for marrying Miss Grace Wilson. According to information given by a person who should know the facts, this is the ultimate division of the $100,000,000 scheduled in the vest-pocket memorandum by which the late Cornelius Vanderbilt always knew how much he owned: To Cornelius Vanderbilt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Reginald Vanderbilt and Gladys Vanderbilt, his children, $10,- 000,000 each. There are large special bequests to relatives, to Yale, Columbia and Vanderbilt Universities, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and to various charities. The remainder of the estate, subject to a life interett beld by his widow, it left to Alfred Gvynne Vanderbilt, his lecond surviving son. William K. Vanderbilt and lite widow of Cornelius are trustee* want you, my, friends, to understand that it is these ten thousand annoyances which, under God, are making up the picture of your life, to be hung at last in the galleries of heaven, fit for angels to look at. God knows how to make a picture. I go into a sculptor's studio and see him shaping a statue. He has a chisel in one hand and a mallet in the other, and he gives a very gentle stroke— click, click, click! I say, "Why don't you strike harder?" "Oh," he replies, "that would shatter the statue. I can't do it that way; I must do it this way." So he works on, and after a while the features come out, and everybody that enters the studio is charmed and fascinated. Well, God has your soul under process of development, and it is the little annoyances and vexations of life that are chiseling out your immortal nature. It is click. click, click! I wonder why some great providence does not come, and with one stroke prepare you for heaven. Ah, no; God says that is not the way. A n d s o h e keeps on by strokes of little vexations, until at last you shall be a glad spectacle for angels and for men. You know that a large fortune may be spent in small change, and a vast amount of moral character may go away in small depletions. It is the little troubles cf life that are having more effect upon you than great ones. A swarm cf locusts will kill a grain field sooner than the incursion of three or four cattle. You say, ••Since I lost my child, since I lest my property. I have been a different man." But you do not recognize the architecture of little annoyances, that are howing, digging, cutting, shaping, splitting and interjoining your moral qualities. Rats may sink a ship. One lue'ifer match may send destruction through a block of store-houses. Catherine de Medicis got her death from smelling a poisonous rose. Columbus, by stopping and asking for a piece of bread and a drink of water at a Franciscan convent, was led to the discovery of a new world. • And there is an intimate connection between trifles and immensities, between nothings and everythlngs. Now, be careful to let none of those annoyances go through your soul unarraigned. Compel them to administer to your spiritual wealth. The scratch of a six-penny nail sometimes produces lockjaw, and the clip of a most Infinitesimal annoyance may damage you forever. Do not let any annoyance or perplexity come across your soul without its making you better. Our national government, when it wanted money, did not think It belittling to put a tax on pins, and a tax on buckles, and a tax on shoes. The individual taxes do not amount to much, but in the aggregate to millions and millions of dollars. And I would have you, O, Christian man, put a high tariff on every annoyance and vexation that cornea through your soul. This might not amount to much, in single cases, but in the aggregate it would be a great revenue of spiritual strength and satisfaction. A bee can suck honey even out of a nettle; and if you have the grace of God in your heart you can get sweetness out of that which would otherwise irritate) and annoy. A returned missionary told me that a company of adventurers rowing up the Ganges were stung to death by flies that infest that region at certain season*. The earth has been strewed with the carcasses of men slain by insect Annoyances. The only way to get prepared for the great troubles of life U to conquer these small trrublei. What would you say of a soldier who refused to load his guti, or to go into the conflict because it was only a skirmish, saying, "I am not going tc expend my ammunition on a skirmish; wait till there comes a general engagement, and then you will see how courageous I am, and what battling J will do!" The general would say to such a man, "If you are not faithful in a skirmish, you would be nothing in a general engagement." And I have to tell you, O, Christian men, if you cannot upply the principles of Christ's religion on a small scale, you will never be able to apply them on a large scale. If I had ray way with you I would have you possess all possible worldly prosperity I would have you each | A h m t l e d i d h e b e c i one a garden-a river flowing through : T h f l t n ] t h h i a f n t h p r it, geraniums and shrubs on the sides, and the grass and flowers as beautiful as though the rainbow had fallen. ] would have you a house a splendid ' D a t l l o n e d h e r o a 5 # mansion, and the beds should be cov- A s | f Q n B p r e a d l n g w i n g 8 _ ered with upholstery dipped in the set- j A w h a d ^ w n o w h e 1 : n o w , ting sun. I would have every hall in i T h e ^ ^ o f m U ( ? t M n your house set with statues and stat- i uettes, and then I would have the four ' A n d s a d I y t h I n k s ^ w h a t quarters of the globe pour in all their) H l a f a t h e r h a d t 0 g a y _ luxuries on your table, and you should I t w a s a m i t e > b u t l t h a d brcu~%> have forks cf silver and knives of gold, inlaid with diamonds and amethysts. Then you should each one of you have the finest horses, and your pick of the equipages of the world. Then I would have you live a hundred and fifty years, and you should not have a pain or ache until the last breath. "Not each one of us?" you say. Yes; each one of you. "Not to your enemies?" Yes; the only difference I would make with them would be that 1 would put a little extra gilt on their walls, and a little extra embroidery on their slippers. But, you say, "Why does not God give us all these things?" Ah! I bethink myself. He is wiser. J It would make fools and sluggards of us if we had our way. No man puts his best picture in the portico or vestibule of his house. God meant this world to be only the vestibule of heaven, that great gallery cf the universe towards which we are aspiring. We must not have it too good in this world or we would want no heaven. Polycarp was condemned to be burned to death. The stake was planted. He was fastened to it. The fagots were placed around him, the fires kindled, but history tells us that the flames bent outward )U\G the canvas of a ship in a stout breeze, so that the (lames, instead of destroying Polycarp, were only a wall between him and his enemies. They had actually.. to destroy him with the poniard; the flames would not touch him. Well, my hearer, I want you to understand that I by God's grace the flames of trial, in- j stead of consuming your soul, are only going to be a wall of defense, and a canopy of blessing. God is going to j fulfill to you the blessings and the ! promises, a^ he did to Polycarp. j "When thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned." Now you do not understand, but you shall know hereafter. In heaven you will bless God even for the hornet. Henri—I hope we shall enjoy our walk to the ruined castle this afternoon? Rose—Oh! I think so; I always like to go out with an object!—Ally Sloper. HONEST PEOPLE Who Sometime* Wrong tho Street Cai Conductors by This l'ecutiaritv. "Here is your Tare, conductor; you overlooked me, I guess." The speakei was a well-dressed man of middle age. His remark was made as he was making his way toward the rear platform of a trolley cai* to gel off, after having ridden ten or twelve squares, and he accompanied it by handing over to the conductor a nickel. "That fellow thinks he is entitled to a gold medal for honesty," growled the conductor, as he pocketed tho coin; "but he ough* to have a leather medal for durned foolishness instead." "How's that?" queried the Saunterer, to whom the conductor's words were evidently addressed. "Don't you admire honesty?' "Certainly—when It comes in at the right time and place. But his didn't I'm paid for collecting a fare from every passenger who rides with me. If I don't get the coin I am likely tc get the bounce. In order to see that I am getting the coin the company has a small army of spotters riding around with their eyes and their ears wide open. Follow me?" The Saunterer irtimated that he caught the drift oi what the conductor was saying "Well," continued the latter, "I overlooked that fellow in the crowd. A1 least he says I did, and he ought tc know. It is impossible to get everybody when the car is jammed from front to back. Now, suppose a spottet is on this car and has overheard whal that fellow said, or saw him hand me the fare after having ridden a mile oi over? Doesn't it' look bad for me': Ain't I likely to get a good calling down, -if not a lay-off or the bounce? Certainly I am. And do you wonder that I feel sore at that fellow? if a passenger manages to get past me for half a dozen squares I would rather he or she keep the fare than to poke it at me as a reminder that I haven't kept my eyes sufficiently wide open. Aud I don't cars if you do print it." Why Ghe Was Anxloa*. He had been out for a day's fishing, and as he proudly displayed the contents of his basket to his w:fo, she exclaimed: "O, John, aren't they beauties! But I've been so anxious for the last hour, dear." "Foolish little cne," said John, caressingly; "why, what could have happened to me?" "O, I didn't worry about you, love, but it grew so late I was afraid that before you got back to town the fish shops would all be shut."—Philadelphia North American. He Spoke -Out. "What I like," she said, "is a person who is frank—one who says just what he means, without beating about the bush." "Well," he replied, "I'll be straightforward. There is something I wanted to tell you for an hour or more, but " "Yes," she urged, with suppressed excitement, seeing that he hesitated; "what Is it?"

Business men have their clubs, circle, and form trusts to advance their interests, and the farmer should do the same ; they could control everything that perlains to their interest* if they <)nly could hold together. C. M. Wood .•—To be a successful farmer requires more than mere muscle—it requires attention, thought, care, Mrs. Wm. Glenn of North Lake, being called upon, told how they fed the people who met with the Webster Farmer's club. They have small tables that will seat six; these, with the dishes which also belong to the club, are takeu from place as wanted; each lady furnishes a napkin for self and gentleman; the eatables are passed and short work made of dinner as all eat at the same time ; this gives more time for papers and discussion. Mrs. W. C. Nichols spoke in favor of the paper; thought success depended much on ones liking for the work. After the discussion Mis« Delia Springstead gave a select reading, Mra. If. A. Fick sang a solo and Mrs. Emory (rlenn and daughter Blanche, p^.iyed an. instrumental duet. Upon request, W. H.

Co., Morgan and Harrison Sts., Chicago. Edited by the W. C. T. U. of Pinckney. The saloon is the recruiting station for the vote buyer. While the saloon door is open every home is in danger. When the saloon dies, the devil will put on deep morning. Why do you vote for saloon licence and then threaten to thrash your boy the very next time you hear of his even going into one. Men don't sit and wait for rabid dogs to die. They kill them. 1$ is worse than idiotic—it is criminal to wait for the saloon to die. We must destroy it! Making groggeries respectable by law with a view to curtailing drink, and removing temptation is like making hell appear a paradise with a view of keeping people away from it. : 'Don't mix religion and politics' This is the form in which the worst elemets of society demand tbat the Chistian manhood of this country shall deliver the government to them. If it is true that only a few fanatics oppose the saloon, why is it that the saloonist fight so hard against local option? Why not give the fanatics what they ask for and let the people rebuke them for their fanaticism. -•••• - : ' V : i i r - Great Move In PALL CARPETS At The Busy Bee Hive.

C. freight at the llelt line crossing, coruer Beaufait and and Gratiot avenues, Detroit, killing one person and injuring the remaining 24 passengers. The accident was the result of a slippery track aud insufficient sand on the electric car. The fact that the freight was going slow a t the time of the accident was doubtless the cause of so few deaths. The trolley car was a complete wreck and t h e engine of t h e freight was quite badly wrecked. Had not the electric car been tipped over on its side, it is said, the escaping steam from the engine would have scalded the passengers inside. . » The Sotj+r Beet Yield.

The analysis of sugar beets sent in from various parts of the state show a much less percentage of sugar than those of 189S, averaging about 2) per cfmt less. Lute reports, however, indicate that there has been an increase of 1) to 15 per cent in sugar during the warm weather of-the past two weeks. The jricld per acre is much less than in 1398. in December. Appointments on aides-de-camp on the stall' of the department commander are announced as follows: II. II. Williams, Bancroft; F. \V.

( Potato digging hos been in progress [ in northern Michigan about two weeks, j and the result is very disappointing to I the farmers. The crop is not averagj ing more than one-third of the yield of former years, and in many instances not more than 20 or 35 bushels to the acre is being obtained. John II. Adams, of Homer, dropped about two spoonsfuls of gasoline into the bunghole of a cider barrel, with a view of burning out the interior. He then touched a match to the vent, and. has been unable to locate the barrel since. Mr. Adams is thankful t h a t his life is spared to tell the story, The building of the board of supervisors of Washtenaw county have decided to adopt five or six rooms in the upper story of the county house for a detention asylum for the insane until the patients can be accommodated at the overcrowded state institutions. The jail has been used heretofore. Black bear are very numerous at present in the neighborhood of Oliver Hill, about six miles from Frankfort. They have become so tame of late t h a t it is not an uncommon sight to see one or more shambling down the highway taking a morning constitutional or in search of breakfast or a late supper. Frankfort has one fruit grower who will make a success of his business if he ke*ps up his present pace. In every ba.-rel of* apples packed for shipment on his place, he drops in his name and address written on a card. Upon the reverse side of the pasteboard is this legend: "I consider this an honest barrel of apples. Men are scarce in Oceana county. Farmers are offering $1.50 and 81.75 per day to dig potatoes and pick apples, and can't get help at these figures. The apple season is drawing to a close, after harvesting a large and profitable crop, b a t the potato digging has just commenced.

After a voyage of 28 days from Capo Nome, during which two men died from starvation and others were half crazed from want of food and water, the schooner Hera arrived in port at Seattle, Wash., on the24th with nearly 200 passengers on board. From the statement of passengers it is learned t h a t the agent of the ship at Nome guaranteed them plenty of good provisions on the way down. They were charged 850 for their passage. When they were a few days out, meat, sugar and butter ran out. The menu consisted of salt pork and canned mutton. There was a little dried fruit, but only enough to supply the table three times with dried peaches and twice with dried prunes. From t h a t time on for nearly 24 days their food consisted of flour and oolfec. There was plenty of flour, but the water was short. Four days before the boat reached Seattle the last of the unpalatable salt horse was consumed. Had it not been for rain storms which fell for a few days they would have beeu without water also.

Twenty-four million dollars is to be demanded through the courts from corporations in Conk county for violations of the Illinois 'statutes. State's Attorney Deneen will make the demand in a icw days by filing 3,(,0) suits, the largest batch ever seen at one time in the cilices of the court clerks of the county. The purpose of these proposed suits is to satisfy the law, which calls on every corporation in Illinois to file a statement with the secretary of state every year. Failure to comply is punishable by a fine of $50 a day. There are 14,000 corporations whose names are on the books of the secretary of state t h a t did not file the required statements in 1898. The number of days elapsed since they became delinquent makes the total of liability to the state of 58,000 for each corporation. Chicago Man has 4 2 Wives. Forty-two wives scattered throughout the world, four of whom are in Chicago, was the confession made on the 24th by Walter L. Farnsworth, a Chicago candy commission man, who was arrested the day before charged with bigamy. He also admitted t h a t he was a man of many aliases. " I cannot tell exactly how many women I have married, said he. " I know of II in Europe, four in China, three in Peru, one in England and over 20 others in different parts of the world, but to save ray soul I could not tell how many. I married them for different reasons. I did not live long with them. They will all tell you I was good to them.1' Another Kentucky Fend. Tom Whitamore and Dan P a r k e r were ambushed on the 23d on Horse creek, en route to Clay county circuit court at Manchester, Ky. The former was killed and the latter injured. Bob Travis was also killed at H a m l e t Circuit Judge Eversole, fearing assassination, did not go to Manchester and the opening of court was delayed. Griffins and Phtlpots are present in large cumbers, heavily armed. Manchester is crowded and the situation looks grave. Wreck on the Wabanh. A bad wreck occurred on the Wabash road about four miles from Wabash, Ind., on t h e night of the 23d by which one man was killed and one fatally injured. Thirteen loaded cars broke loose from a freight train and ran down grade to a point where Uiere is a sharp curve in the track. Another freight was coming west at a lively rate of speed and struck the cars with terrible force. The engine was Ihrown 33 feet from the track and the cars were smashed int » ••>•>[inters. The Boers hoisted the t! tg of the Transvaal over Viyburg on Oct. 18, and are about issuing a proclamation that Beehanalaud now forms part of the Transvaal. This is regarded as a move on the part of the B'-ers to intlu" e the colonial Dutch to join the republic without incurring 1 he risk hereafter of the charge of high treason if the Boers are ultimately defeated. Col. Kckewich, on hearing of it, ia-.- mediately issued a proclamation noti' fying the people t h a t if any British subjects were found assisting her majesty's enemies, either directly or indirectly, such person would be punished summarily as a ba^e rebel. Several arrests of Cape Dutchmen have since been made. Gen. Yulo of t h e British forces made a brilliant stratigical movement on the 24th und effected a junction of his forces with those of Sir George S t e w a r t White, slightly to the north of Ladysmith. The two are now in a p o r t i o n to offer battle. The two sections of the Boer army, which outnumber t h e entire British force three to one, a r e now only 40 miles apart. Hence i t will be necessary for the British forces to make swift and telling action. Before Gen. White's forces were united with Gen. Yule, they were attacked by the Boers who killed 12 and wounded 89 Britishers. Five are missing. The colonial office at London has received a cablegram stating t h a t President Steyn of the Orange Free S t a t e has issued a proclamation a n n e x i n g that part of Cape Colony which is north of the Vaal river. This means Griqualand west and Bcchuanaland and is apparently iu consequence of the Free Slate forces having seized t h e railway aud all stations north of Kiinberly, except Mafeking, unless Mafeking has fallen since the last n e w s from there, which is now more t h a n a week ago. A special cable from London says: London was startled on the 24th by direct charges that the war office had deliberately suppressed news of a crushing British defeat at Glencoe, with heavy loss. The London correspondent of the Paris Temps s«ys t h a t the British Were defeated in the second attack on Glencoe and sustained such losses that the war otliej wishes "to await news of another favorable engagement before announcing' ihem. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, made a statement in the house of commons at London on the 23d ou the question of the expenditure entailed by the Transvaal war. In part he s'lid: "As British colonies had been invaded, lie considered it to be consistent with all t h e laws of war when it was brought to a. successful termination the Transvaal taxpayer should at any rate have to bear part of the cost." After the victory of the 20*h t h e British imagined they were five from further molestation for sonic d;iys, but they soon found that the earlier reports of a sweeping success were exaggerated. The reported capture of all the Boer guns was incorrect. The burghers succeeded in removing some of them before the British carried t h e hill, leaving only the riilemen behind to cover their retreat. A dispatch from Ladysraith on t h e 26th says Gen. Yule's' column marched into t h a t p l a c e ' a t midninght after a very hard march d u r i n g a night of exceptionally heavy rain. It is now apparent t h a t Gen. Symons1 tight at Glencoe was not anything like the decisive victory at 8rst alleged, and Gen. Yule would in all probability have beeu annihilated or have met with the same fate as t h e captured Hussars if he had not retreated. Mrs. Fred Liagham, of Belleville, Ont., has presented a silken flag to t h e Belleville detachment of the Canadian contingent going to the Transvaal and promises the Belleville man who places it on the walls of the Pretoria jail, where her husband was confined by the Boers d u r i n g the Jamieson raid, shall receive the finest gold watch purchasable in Canada. According to returns at the London war office the British have suffered a loss of 579 killed and wounded since the war started. Of this number 18 officers have been killed and 55 wounded; 70 privates killed nnd 435 wounded, and 13 unaccounted for. I'his total, however, does not include the 18th Hussars. The British war department has ordered out eight battleships and five cruisers. It is t h o u g h t their destination is a Spanish or Portugese port, as the vessels have taken out bills of health from the cousuis of those countries. In a second attack on Glencoe on the 22d 300 Burghers were killed and wounded. The Boers were compelled to mnke a disorderly retreat over the plains, many prisoners and horses being captured. The official London dispatch says t h a t the British casualties at the battle of Elandslaagte was 73 killed a'nd 175 wounded; grand total, 247. Ten men are also mUslng. Great Britain will bring her h u g e airship into nso in her war with South Africa. It will be used in m a k i n g observations of the Boer movements. The London war office ou the 2» h issued order* for un additional 5,000 troops for South A'rlc.-v.

David, who must some time have seen a deer hunt, points us here to a hunted stag making for the water. The fascinating animal, called in my text the hart, is the same animal that in sacred and profane literature is called the stag, the roebuck, the hind, the gazelle, the reindeer, hi central Syria, in Bible times, there were whole pasture fields of them, as Solomon suggests when he says: "1 charge you by the hinds of the field." Their antlers jutted from tho long grass as they lay down. No hunter who has been long in "John Brown's track" will w o n d e r that iu the Bible they wore classed a s clean animals, for the dews, the showers, the lal.es, washed them as clean as the sky. When Isaac, the patriarch, longed for venison, Esau shot and brought home a roebuck. Isaiah compares the sprightliiKss of the restored cripple of millennial times to the long and quick jump of the stag, saying: "The lame shall leap as the hart." Solomon expressed his disgust a t a hunter, who, having shot a deer, is too lazy to cook it, saying: "The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting." But one day David, while far from the home from which he had been driven, and sitting near the mouth of a lonely cave where he had lodged, and on the banks of a pond or river, hears a pack of hounds in swift pursuit. Because of the previous silence in the forest the clangor startles him, and he says to himself: "I v.-onder what those degs are after 1' Then there is a crackling in the brushwood, and the loud breathing of some rushing wonder of the wood?, and the antlers of a deer rend the leaves of the thicket, and by an instinct which all hunters recognize, plunge:, into a pond or lake or river to cool its thirst, and a t the same time by its capacity for swifter and longer swimming, to get away from the foaming harriers. David says to himself: "Aha, that ir> myself! San! after me. Absalom after me, enemies without number after rac: I am chased, their bloody muzzles at my heels, barking a t my good name, barking after my body, balking after my sou!. Oh. the hounds, the hounds! But look there." says David, "that hunted dicr has splashed into the water. It puts its hoMip.s ar.d nostrils into t h e cool wave that laches the lathered flank?, and it swims away from the fiery canines, and it is frea \ mm of your <arc at last. Oh. that I rr.isht find in the a cop, ',V ] (1 ke rf inc. t h a n such man lives. the welfare of h .;- According to Colonel Wright's stv, ies of the census, "the rich are fro' ing richer; many more people tlv. a formerly ar the poor off.

This is good a s far as H iroc?. and we can stand some more of it. consolation. (•*< ape from my pursuers! Oh, for the waters r.f lif> and rescue!

Once while there talking with a hunter, I thought I would like to >'oe whether my text v.T.s accurate in i ' s allusion and as I heard the dogs baying a little way off, and supposed they were on the track of shot through, the forest, or turning p.t bay to attack, the bounds, or rearing for its last fall under the buckshot of S U N . the trapper. It is a splendid appearance, that the painter's pencil fails to sketch, and only a hunter's dream on a pillow of hemlock at the foot of St. Rogls is able to picture. When, twenty miles from any settlement, it comes dowi at eventide to the lake's edge to drink the lilypads, and. with its sharp edged hoofs, shatters the crystal of Long Lake, it is very picturesque. But only when, after miles of pursuit, with heaving sides and lolling tongue, and eyes swimming in death, the stag leaps from tho cliff into Upper Saranac, can you realize how much David had suffered from his trouck-s, anl how mu.-h he wanted God when he expressed himself in the words: "As tho hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, 0 God." * * • There FTP whole chains of lakes In the Adirondacks, and from one height you can see thirty lakes; and there are said to be over S'.DO in the great wilderness. So near are they to each other that your mountain guida picks up and carries the boat from lake to lake, the smalt distance between them for that reason called a "carry." And the realm of God's word is one long chain of bright, refreshing lakes; each promise a lake, a very short carry between them, and though for ages the pursued have been drinking o u t of them, they are full up t o the top of the green hanks; and tho same David describes them, and they seem so near together that in three different places he speaks of them as a continuous river, saying: "There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God"; "Thcu shalt make them drink of the rivers of thy pleasures"; "Thou greatly enrichest it with tho river of God, which is full of water." But many of you have turned your back upon that supply, and confront your trouble, and you are soured with your circumstances, and yotl are fighting society, and you arc fighting a pursuing world; and troubles., instead of driving ycu info the cool lake of heavenly comfort, have made you slop and turn round and lowe-* your head, and it is simply antler agaim-'t tooth.

When the Harvard men went rfter their foes the latter fled igncminicusly, and the promptness of the police alone prevented a serious riot. With tradition to back him up and the fierce fighting tyrannical Mood to utge him on, the student, as years ^jass by, does not seem inclined to forego the physical pleasure of exercising !Ms fists..on his natural enemy, the tewn.

He said: "Oh, yes. mister: you sec they are a hot and thirsty animal, and they know where the water is, and when they hear danger In the distance, they lift their antlers and snuff the breeze and start for Racquet o r Loon or Saranac; and we get into our cedarshell boat or stand by the 'runway' with rifle leaded ready to blaze away." •My friends, t h a t is one reason why I like the Bible so much—its allusions are so true t o nature. I t s partridges are real partridges, its ostriches real ostriches, and ita reindeer real reindeer. I do not wonder that this antlered glory of the text makes the hunter's eye sparkle, and his cheek glow, and his respiration quicken. To say nothing of its usefulness, although it is the most useful of all game, its flesh delicious, I t s skin turned into human apparel, its sinews fashioned into bow strings, its antlers putting handles on cutlery, and the shavings of its horns used a s a restorative, its name taken from the hart and called hartshorn— hy putting aside its usefulness, this enchanting creature seems made out of gracefulness and elasticity. VvThat an eye, as if gathered up from a hundred lakes a t sunset! The horns, a coronal branching into every possible curve, and after it Beems done, ascendin* into other projections of exquteiteness, a tree of polished bone, uplifted in pride, or swung down for awful comb a t I t is velocity embodied. Timidity impersonated. The enchantment of the woods. Eye lustrous in life and pathetic in death. The splendid animal a complete rhythm of muscle and bono and color and attitude and locomotion, whether couched in the grass among the .shadows, or a living bolt Ciegant. its proportions, ond io.e more beautiful its hearing, the mere anxious the hunters and, the hounds are to capture it? Had that roebuck a ragged fur, and broken hoofs, and an obliterated eye, and a limping gait, the hunters would have said, "Pshaw! don't let us waste our ammunition on a sick deer." And the hounds would have given a few sniffs at the track, and then darted off in another direction for better game. But when they see a deer with antlers lifted in mighty challenge t o earth and eky. and t h e sleek hide looks as if it had been smoothed by invisible hands, and the fat sides enclose the richest pasture that could be nibbled from the bank of rills so clear they seem to have dropped out of heaven, and the stamp of its foot defies the jack-shooting lantern and the rifle, the horn and t h e hound, that e.cei- they will have if they must needs break their necks in the rapid;;. So if there were no noble stuff in your make-up, if you were a bifurcated nothing, if you were a forlorn failure, you would bo allowed t o go undisturbed; but 'che fact that tho whole pack is in full cry after you is proof positive that ycu are spend id gamo and worth captarlag. Therefore sarcasm draws en you lt3 "finest bead"; therefore the world goes r u n - Ding for you with its best Winchester breoch-loader. Highest* compliment is it t o yoor talent, or your virtus g r your usefulness. You win be assailed in proportion t o your great achievements. The best and the mightiest Being the world ever saw had set after him all the hounds, terrestrial and diabolic, and they lapped his blood after the Calvarean massacre. The world prid n o t h i n g t o its Redeemer but a brambta. four spikes and a cross. dogs, that I would not be chagrined to see in the heavenly city. Some of the grand old watch-dogs that a r e t h e constabulary of the homes in solitary places, and for years have been t h e only protection of wife and child; some of the shepherd dogs that drive back the wolves and bark away t h e flock from going too near the precipice; and some of the dogs whose neck and paw Landseer, the painter, has made immortal, would not find me shutting them out from the gate of shining pearl. Some of those old St. Bernard dogs that have lifted perishing travelers out of the Alpine snow; the dog that John Brown, the Scotch essayist, saw ready to spring a t the surgeon, lest, in removing the cancer, he t o o much hurt the poor woman whom the dog felt uound to protect, and dogs that we caressed in our childhood days, or that in later time laid down ca the rug in seeming sympathy when our hcm.'is were desolated. I say, if some soul entering heaven should happen to leave the pate ajar, and these faithful creatures .should quietly walk in, it tvould not at all disturb my heaven. P.ut all these human or brutal hounds that have chafed and torn ar.d lacerated the world; yea, all that now bite or worry cr tear to pieces, shall be prohibited. "vVithout are do?.sl" No place there for harsh critics or backbiters, or dcspoilers of the reputation of others! Down with you to t h e kennels of darkness ar.d despair! The hart has reached the eternal water brooks, a r d the panting of the long cha.-e is quieted in still pasture.?, ar.d "there shall be nothing to hurt or destroy in all Cod's holy mount." Oh, when sgme cf you get there, it will be like what a hunter tells of when he was pushing h u canoe far up north in tl\e winter, and amid t h e ice-flccs, and a hundred miles, as he thought, from any ether human beings, lie was start'.ed one day as he heard a stepping on the ice, and he cocked the riu'e ready to meet anything that came near. He found a man, bare footed and insane from long exposure, approaching him. Taking him into hits canoe and kindling fires to warm aim, he restored him, found oat where he had lived, and took him to his home, and found all the village in great excitement. A hundred men were searching for this lost man, and his family and friends rushed out to meet him, and as had been agreed a t his first appearance, bells were rung, and guns were discharged, and banquets spread, and the rescuer loaded with presents. Well, when some of you step out of this wilderness, where you have been chilled and torn, and sometimes lost amid the icebergs, into the warm greetings of all the villages of the glorified, and your friends rush out to give you welcoming kiss, the news that there is another soul forever saved will call the caterers of heaven to spread the banquet, and the hellmen to lay hold of t h e rope in t h e tower, and while the chalice* click a t the feast and the bells clang from the turrets, it will be a scene so uplifting I pray Gcd I may be there to take part in the celestial merriment. And now do ycu not think the prayer in Solomon's song, where he compared Christ to a reindeer in the night, would make an exquisitely appropriate peroration to my sermon: 'Until the day break and t h e shadows flee away, be thou like a roe o r a young Jaart upon the mountains of Bether"?

The jiid.Te placed hla hand tenderly on the little, curly head. '"Where has my little daughter teen?" "Oh, I have been up to the hall talking with the housekeeper and wandering through the great rooms, and, oh, papa.' she really took me into the beautiful conservatory, and I saw such lovely, naming passion flowers, and the great, creamy, magnolia blossoms, and, dear me, I can't tell you of all the lovely things." She was suddenly stopped by seeing a gentleman approaching from the opposite side of the road. "Mr. Ray, I believe?" The judge bowed. ' "Agent for the St. L*on place?" "Yes, sir." "I camo to see you in regard to it, and " "And you are Mr. St. Leon's confidential clerk, Mr. Hartley! I believe I received a letter from him today Informing me that you would arrive this week. Yes, yes; como right up to the house and we will talk over the repairs. Shall we begin them immediately?" * * * * * * "Papa, you don't mean to say you have brought him home—a confidential clerk? You know there are the best rooms to be papered and cleaned, and our pink dresses to be made, against Herbert St. Leon's arrival. Well, I shall see that he is put in the little room over the kitchen. He will never know the difference," and Blanche eank back in a studied attitude on the acfa, wondering if handsome Bert St. Leon would fancy her lovely pink morning dress that she had made for his special benefit. The door of the dining-room was njar, and Mr. Hartley, standing before the fire in the little parlor, had heard it all. "Mr. Confidential Clork, you are crying," end Lizzie pushed the white kitten frcin hor lap and'eaine over to his side. "I am sorry you heard them. hut new;- mind, I'll be your friend."

And now Mr. Hartley sat in the same little parlor where Lizzie had first vowed to be aU friend, and awaited the appearance of the judge. "You wiah to see me, Mr. Hartley?" "Yes, sir. I came to ask you for the hand of your daughter—your little Lizzie. I love her more than my life. Judge Ray." "You can not have her! No. sir.

"Papa, forgive us!" "I'll bio you hanged first!" roared the old gentleman. "Begone, both of you! Beg, starve, but never come to me for assistance!" "Oh, papa," pleaded Lizzie, "I want to explain." "I won't hear you." "Be it so," said the clerk; "come, little wife, we have each ether left, you know," and they went from the house^.« Blanche was just coming out. of hysterica when there came a ring at the bell, and a gentleman bearing a foreign- looking carpet-bas w«ia ushered in.

"I think you are mistaken, sir, as I have been Informed he is at this moment in his native village." "Herbert St. Leon at home and not send word to me, his agent? I must go to the hall immediately." The lights glimmered brightly from the gothlc windows of the hall and winked defiance at the blustering storm without as the judge rang the bell at the great front door. "Mr. St. Leon—has he arrived?" The servant bowed and ushered him into a room whose superbly arranged furniture struck Mr. Ray with an indefinite idea of luxury. Lizzie was standing by a tall alabastar vase, that stood in the bay window, arranging the tropic vines that curled around its standard, and the light from the colored lamps shone down on the curly head so dear to the Judge's heart.* The confidential clerk stood near. "I wish to see your master, young man." "I am at your service, sir." "You are! Who the mischief cares whether you are or not? I wi3h to ^e Mr. St. Leon." "Herbert St. Leon is my name, sir." "You?

Many stories are told of the cleverness of the raven, a bird that really seems to have reasoning powers. One of theee stories tells how the raven by a skillful stratagem got a younj bare for its dinner, it had pounced upon the little animal, but the mother hars drove it away. Then the-raven, slowly retreated, encouraging the mother to fellow him, and even pretending that he wai afraid cf her. In this fashion he led her a considerable distance from tlie young O M and then suddenly, before the hare had time to realize tho meaning of the trick, he rose in the air. flew swiftly back, caught the young hare In his beak, and bore it away. A similar plan was adopted by some ravens that wished to steel food from a dog. They teased him till he grew so angry that he chased them from the spot, but the artful birds turned sharply around, easily reached the diah before him, and carried off the choicer bits in triumph. As to the raven's power of speech, the following story, which is given on the authority of Capt. Brown, who vouches for its truth, will show how aptly it can talk. A gentleman while traveling through a wood in the south of England was startled by hearing a shout of "fair play, gentleman; fair play!" uttered in loud tones. The cry being presently repeated, the traveler thought It must proceed from some one in distress and at once began to search for him. He soon discovered two ravens fiercely attacking a third. He was so struck with the appeal of the oppressed bird that he promptly rescued him. It turned out that the victim was a tame raven, belonging to a house in the neighborhood, and the cry that it had used so opportunely was one cf many that it had been taught to utter.—Philadelphia Titles.

A singular Btory is told of a gallant rock whose moral influence at a critical moment during the battle of St. Vincent helped to cave a British manof- war from the hands of the enemy. The fowl in question formed part of the live stock of the Marlborough—a vessel which had suffered so severely that her captain was considering the advisability of striking his flag. The ship was entirely dismasted, while the chief officers had been carried below severely wounded and the crew, without anybody to cheer them up, were beginning to grow sullen under the heavy fire of the enemy, to which they were hardly able to respond. At this emergency a shot struck tho coop in which the fowls were confined. The i only surviving occupant, a cock, find- [ ing himself at liberty, fluttered up and j perched himself on the stump of the ' mainmast and surveyed the scene of carnage around him. Then, flapping \ his wings in defiance, he began to crow vociferously. He was answered by three hearty and exhilarating cheers from the crew, who all had a good laugh, and with spirits thus renewed continued the action with a vigor that lasted until a turn in the battle rescued ; them from their tight position.—London Mr.il.

I told my husband that something must be done, for I was nearly frantic with pain. Having read of t h e wonderful c u r e s Lydia E.

Emma Stohl of Dexter, who has been working for Mis. S. E. Harton the past year, is now employed at Ann Arbor and Grace Gardner is working for Mrs. Barton for a time. A most remarkable incident occured in these parts last week, which may be summed up as follows: Last Wednesday evening as the Messrs. Will Doyle and Will Dundar who are attending school in Pinckney, were returning home on their wheels, they came upon Wm. Gardner, Jr., who was riding his running horse, the cream; right here the sport began. The reader well observe that there were three Bills together, and very naturally a race was proposed. Mr. Gardner having ventured the remarkthat with his fleet-tooted steed he could out strip anything in the form of beast man or wheel that ever struck this vicinity.' Mr. Doyle, whose ability as a cyclist is well known took immediate objection, consequently a small wager was made and Mr. Dunbar, who is ot a more contemplative turn of mind, was made tha stake holder. A flying start was agreed upon and the contestants got away on the first score down. For the first few furlongs the race was a pretty one. The pace was such a terrlic one that it dazzled the riders who evidently did not see a dog that was driving a herd of cattle over the fine race course, and in a shoit time there was a most promiscus mix-up of dogs, men, cattle, horses and old iron. W hen the dust had settled away, it was found that schorcber, Doyle's air pump, which he carried in his pocket (but failed to use) was severely injured. Jockey, Gardner, escaped unhurt but his "cream" was badly demolished. To date, nothing has been seen of dog or cattle. Some scrap iron (once a bicycle) was picked up by a number of the spectators who desired the particles as souvenirs. Race postponed; bets declared off. Upon investigation it was discovered that the stake holder hr.d left for parts unknown. EAST i o I "^ George Fish was in lUnevott over Sunday. Mrs Fred Lake spent, Tuns i iy in Chilson.

The Celebrated Mains' Trial hat lleen Knded, the Supreme Court D b b w - rtuR 111» Prom Practice In TM» State —11« kit Morally Irresponsible Oar State Auditors' Power. A question of very great importance h a s lately arisen relative to the authori t y of the board of state auditors to exeriM*e its I'ecrction in the matter of a l l o w i n g claims ir. certain cases. It lias a l w a y s heretofore been the theory t h a t a s to all claims not expressly and specifically stipulated in the laws, the board was the final arbiter, and it was t o act on its best j u d g m e n t in allow* i n g all I T any portion of such claims or of rejecting them in their entirety. Irately, however, a new idea has been advanced by a number of well informed officials, w h o adhore to it tenaciously. T h i s is that where the law provides t h a t a certain t h i n g shall be done, the board has no choice but to allow whatever expense the persons charged with t h e performance of that duty shall say i s proper. By way of illustration, take t h e rait'er of the law creating the s t a t e tax commission. This law outl i n e s in a general w a y certain worU t h a t the commission shall do, but, as is g e n e r a l l y known, it makes no provision whatever for salaries and other expenses, except those of the members of the commission and its secretary. It is contended by those w h o advocate t h e now theory referred to that if the coratni-sion asks for t*6 H) or SiKIO.OOQ a y e a r fur clerk hire, the auditors are b o u n d to allow it, t h a t being1 the a m o u n t necessary to carry into effect the provisions of the law. Maiun Dlt<l>*rrc«l From Pr*ctic*;. For the tirst time in at least 23 years, and possibly for the first time in the history of the state, the supreme court on the 2 1 entered an order disbarring an attorney from practicing in any of the courts in Michigan. This action is one of the result*1 of the famous Mains-llulburt ' l i t i g a t i o n , the sensational features of which, including prosecutions for perjury, conspiracy to murder, etc., have Iven lull}' detailed from tiimt to time during the past three years,- and which have tended to well-nigh demoralise legal .business in Calhoui count v. The central figure in these proceedings is Charles R. Mains, of R.ittle Creek, w h o m the supreme court holds is morally irresponsible to practice as an attorney in this state. Two Minora lllown to Fragment*. T w o more miners were kil ed at the • Cundy mine, near Iron Mountain, on t h e in iruing of Oct. 3 ). The accident w a s caused by a p r e m i t u r e blast of d y n a m i t e in the Gray shaft. The vie- j t i m s are Richard K n i g h t and John j Pedro. It is supposed that a piece of | g r a n i t e became dislodged and fell into ' t h e h o l c and when the iron was driven j d o w n on the powder a spark was \ struck, causing the explosion. The accident occurred on the same level, and nearly in the same spot where three men were blown to pieces only recently. *** Michigan'* War Claim. I t will be remember that Gov.

Street Fight In an Indiana Town. A desperate street tight between members of a Tennessee colouy. recently located at North Salem, l a d . , aud citizens of the place resulted in the instant death of one man, the fatal w o u n d i n g of another and minor injuries for many o t h e r s o n Oct. 21). Trouble has beeu brewiug for some time and it came to a focus when a number of the Tennesseaus started a row in Ragau's store. The proprietor tried to quell the disturbance, but found himself ir. danger of being trampled and beaten to death. He ran behind the counter, secured t w o revolvers and opened tire. Instantly pistols were d r a w n by everybody and the fight spread out into the street, where it became general.

The recent decision of the supremo court in the suit brought by Archbishop Katzar, of the Milwaukee diocese, for the purposed of securing a return of taxes assessed against property o w n e d by him, which he claimed w a s church property, held in trust, has b r o u g h t about a radical change. According to the decision, property, even w h e n held in trust, bjT the archbishop, is subject to taxation. As it has been the cus'om for nil the property in the diocese to b^ held by the archbishop, who, on his death, w i l l s it to his successor, it is readily seen w h a t the decision would mean, lie has ordered that all the parishes in his diocese be incorporated, after which the property will be deeded to them by the archbishop and the title will hereafter rest with the parish instead of the bishop of the diocese.

She had the gracious ways which a beautiful woman learns by the time she is thirty years of age. If thirty years had taken the first soft, peachlike bloom from her complexion, that •was but a small loss. With her queenly ways, her slow yet radiant smile, she was far more charming than any mere girl could be. In her presence, •Ten Meg's prcttiness seemed inexpressive, 1, who had scarcely any claim to prettiness, was overwhelmed with a sense of my own insignificance. We saw much of Madame Arnaud. She came often, and she generally came in the evening when John was at homc. Ostensibly, her calls were on me; but, when she left the drawingroom, John accompanying her acros3 the little hall, she fell at once into a softer, more fnmiliar tone; sometimes, half an hour after sh9 had bidden «ood-night to mc, che was still talking in a subdued, confidential voice to John in the lu\ll or in his study; and now and then John would go with her the short distance that lay between our houses, and if the evening was 'quiet I could catch the sound of their footsteps as they passed and repassed me and rang the bell for the lamp and tea; then ahe kissed me again and bade me tell her I was glad to see her. When I assured her of my gladness she put htr hands upon my shoulders and snook me a little, because my assurance, she said, R-as too lukewarm: then, repenting, she kissed me again because she had shaken-^me. "Kitty, my dear, whenever I Bee you, I say ,to myself, 'Don't marry,' " she tiaid, divesting herself of her trim Utile sealskin jacket, and looking round for the most softly-cushioned chair. "Poke your Are, Kitty; let us have a blaze." I poked ray fire obediently. The merry blaze shot up and dispersed the shadows. The firelight was so pretty that the lamp, which the maid at that moment brought in, was banished by Meg to the piano in the corner. The little afternoon tea table was wheeled before the fire, and Meg drew her chair opposite to mine and sank back in it with a sigh of luxurious content. ''One question, Kitty," she said. "Will John come in?" "I think net—not yet." "Then I'm happy," she replied; "I breathe freely. Now confess, Kitty— I'll never tell a soul—don't you feel a sense of relief - h e n John goc3 out?" "No, I don't.' "Kitty, 'you're snappish, Your temper was never nice—anu. it'; getting worse." I laughed and began to pour oiit the tea.- Meg leant back in her chair and looked critically at her blue cup, and stirred her tea slowly with the quaint little apostle's, spoo? then removed the spoon to examine it- "I like your silvis ?.nd your china. Kitty. The sisht of your silver and china would almost persuade me to marry, if anyone would marry me. But v w v w v \ "DID YOU NOT KNOW SHE HAD BEEN ENGAGED TO JOHN?" up and down the pavement, until at last she went indoors and John returned alone. A month went by—a chill, gray October, with' raw mornings and misty evening*'and rare glimpses of pale wintry ffnnahine. I grew more than one month older in those four long weeks. I scarcely knew what troubled me; I tried to put the thought of the trouble away—I shrank from facing it. John asked me sometimes if I was bappy; I always assured him "Yes;" and perhaps the assurance was more eager than spontaneous, for he would look at me gently and turn away with a little sigh. He was always gentle. I wished impatiently sometimes that he would be lest patient, less good, less kind. Wore men so invariably patient with wives they were sure-they loved? Again and again his sister's words came back to me—"You love* her because you wished to love her. Is such love trustworthy? Will it wear a lifetime? Husband it with all your energy!" The words seemed to echo in my brain; I could not, strive as I would, put them from me. It was a misty, chilly afternoon tord the end of October. Meg had run i s to see me. She was full of life and spirits; she laughed at me because 1 sitting in the twilight; she kissed the tilgiit of you and John counteracts the rash desire." , "How do John and I look?" "Look at yourself :n the glass, dear; the glass will speak tor one. And John looks worse. Do you keep him on cold mutton chops, Kitty? Nothing but an unvarying diet of mutton chops could account for hi3 profound gloom." "John's not gloomy—you imagine that," I declared, with a little shirp catch in my breath even as I made the decisive assertion. "And you're not gloomy?" questioned Meg, stirring her tea, and putting out her neatly-shod little foct to the welcome blaze. "Is he a tyrant, Kitty? Does he smile deceitfully before the world, and then in private beat you?" "Haye some rnoro tea, Meg, and don't be a goose." "Thank you, Kitty. Turn the handle of the teapot this way, dear, and let me help myself—don't be such an offl- CIOUB hostess. Do you know the first law in the code of a hostess' duties?— Cultivate an air of repose." When your guest politely asks you, 'Does your husband beat you?' don't dash at her with 'Havi some more tea. Take another piece of sugar.' Your guest will naturally conclude that your husband does >eat you." "She would need to be an imaginatwo guest," I returned, laugnlng. "J cannot imagine John's being anything but very good to me." "Don't you find it dull, dear?" asked Meg, with a reflective air. "I couldn't possibly love a man whom I couldn't imagine being anything but good to me. Tastes differ! Talking of tastes, Kitty, my dear, I like cream, not milk, in my tea. Don't be economical so early in life, it's a vice that grows. Behold mamma! I think mamma grows worse than ever; father promised to take tickets for the Haymarket noxt week and we had such a fuss about it. It seems, Kitty, that the expenses of your very quiet wedding were quite ruinous: .ve mustn't dream of the extravagance of the theater for a year to come. Of course, father yielded; so I ran in to see John this morning as I passed the office; I thought I might drop a hint that you were pining for the theater and pining to take me with you. So I strolled ostensibly to ask John if I might tie my snoelace and if a black speck had not dropped upon my cheek." "Meg, what a cheat you are! I shall tell John." "Do, dear. Well, we're going. Madame Arnaud had or will take a box, and she invites us all." CHAPTER XI. The firelight was very bright. I leant back in my chair to escape from it. My heart had suddenly turned cold; I waited for a moment, then asked a question very quietly. "Was Madame Arnaud there—at the office, Meg?" Meg hesitated for a moment She put down her cup, folded her hands in her lap, and looked closely at me. "Kitty, for goodness' sake, be a rational being!" she exclaimed. "If you bad meant to be jealous of Madame Arnaud, you should have been jealous before you married John, and not have married him. For goodness' sake, don't be jealous at this late date." - "I'm not jealous," I replied, in a dull yet protesting tcne. "Why should I be?" For many minutes we sat in silence, the clock on the little chimney-piece ticking audibly in the stillness of the room. Then it was I who broke the silence. I spoke with sudden passion, yet in a low, slow, deliberate tone. "I wish I had never married John," I said. '"I v sh it every day, Meg. I have spoilt uis life. I havo made him wretcLcd." "Kitty!" Meg was as serious now ca I. She came round to where I sat, and seated herself on the elbow of my chair. I put my head against her shoulder and sat in silence, looking perfectly hopelessly before me. "I~>3 loved her," I said at last, still speaking in a quiet tone, still looking before me into the glowing fire. "Some one should have told me! No one told me; I did not know—I did not know!" "And I did not know it until afterwards," said Meg gently. "I had heard of her, but I had only heard half the story. I heard it again the other day more fully." "Tell me." "But John has told you." "No." "How strange! It's a long story; I scarcely know where to begin. Ten or eleven years ago Madame Arnaud—she -was Lucia St. . John. . then—was an actress, a singer—but you know that." "I know nothing." "She sang in opera; they said she was the coming prima donna. She sang for two seasons; then her voico failed her." "Go on, Meg." "She had been engaged to J o h n - how strange it is, Kitty,^that I should know this and not you!—did you know she had been engaged to John?" "No." "John ought to have told you, 3 think. Well, she had been making a big income, and the income dwindled down to nothing suddenly, and John was poor. He was very poor, you know, in those days; he was only a solicitor with a precarious sort of practice, with a reputation yet to be made. Then he was struggling to pay off his father's debt—he was poor, hopelessly. She had made him promise that, after their marriage, she should not give up her career—she was to be allowed to go on singing. She had been singing in Paris; she was coming home. It was midwinter, and she and Miss Mortimer, who was alr^ys with her, chose to remain on deck when sensible people would havo been sleeping in their cabins. She took cold. When she got well again her voice ^ a s gone—gone as far as her profession was concerned. That's her story/ "But not all. Go on." (To be continued.) Triumph mt Realism.

KRAPOTKIN IN THE SOLITARY, Oeacriptlon of th« FrUon B O O B «• Which l i e Wat Confined. From the Atlantic Monthly: Mr first movement was to approach the window, which was placed so high that I could hurdly reach it with my lifted hand. It was a broad, low opening, cut In a wall five feet thick and protected by an iron grating and a double iron window trame, relates Prince Krapotkin. At a distance of a dozen yards from this window I saw the outer wall of the fortress, a piece of masonry of ' Immense thickness, on the roof of • which I could make out a gray sentry box. Only by looking upward could j I perceive a bit of the sky, which was I now faintly illuminated by the last rays of the sun. I made a minute lni spection of the room, where I had now i to spend no one could say how many | years. From the position of the high ! chimney of the mint I guessed that I j was in the southwest corner of the fortress, in a bastion overlooking the Neva. This room cf mine was a casement destined for a big gun and the window was an embrasure. Sun rays might never penetrate it; even in summer they must be lost by the thickness of the wall. It was eleven steps from one corner to the other of the room, which held an iron bed, a little oak table ant an oak stocl. The floor was covered wilh pafrnjed felt and the walls with yeliow papetr. However, in order to deaden the sounds, the paper was not put r-m the wall itself; it was painted over »*nvas and behind the canvas I discovered a,wire grating, hehind which was a layer of felt. Only beyond the felt could I reach the stone wall. At the inner side of the room there was a washstand and a thick oak door, in which I made out a locked opening to pass the food through and a little slit, protected by glass and a shutter from the outside. This was the "Judas" through which the prisoner could be spied upon at every moment. The sentry who stood in the passage frequently lifted the little shutter and looked inside, his boots squeaking as he crept toward the door. I tried to speak to him. Then the eye which I could see through the slit assumed an expression of terror and the shutter was immediately let down, only to be opened furtively a minute or two later. But I could set no word of reply from the sentry. Absolute silence reigned all around; no sounds came from anywhere. I dragged my stool to the window and looked upon the bit of sky 1 could see. I tried to catch any sound from the Neva or from the town on the opposite side of the river, but I could catch none. GEORGIA MARK TAt-LEY. "Duty Feed Man and Steed."

How l i e Circumvented a Desertion •piracy After the Civil War. One striking characteristic of the admiral is the readiness with which he meets every emergency, says Leslie's Weekly. He is resourceful as well a s prompt in action. An illustration of this occurred during a cruise which Dewey took after the civil war, in the Mediterranean, on the old ship Canandaigua. The war fever had died out, and men frequently deserted. On menof- war, boats cannot be lowered without an order, except in case of a man overboard. Several malcontents in t h e crew one night, therefore, raised the- "man overboard" cry, lowered a boat a<nd scuttled off into W*e darkness. Dewey was executive officer of the ship, and w|)6 calltd from his berth. Though even then particular as to dres3, hat didn't cart about uniform whea toere was qultk work to be done, and he appeared cl&d only in his night shirt He rushed us to the quarter-deck in half a gale of wind and promptly took command in spite of hiB curious appearance. He knew his men thoroughly,, ! and acted promptly in spite of the ; darkness. "Come back here, Jim I Brown, Tom Robinson, and the rest of you," he shouted, and punctuated his , remarks with three shots from his re- ' volver. Tht shots, the ghostly figure on the quarter-deck, and the sudden use of theii names startled the men into obedience, and they came sneaking back to the siip, while Dewey and hia novel uniform.retired once more below. The editor has been laid up for a week past, but we are glad to say that he is out again—$50 or $60. The weather is ao hot that we can copk our meals in the sunshine. This is a great saving of firewood, and shows that the Lord will provide.

"Among ths queer things found In; the Philippines are bamboo opals, a vegetable gem »hich is sometimes discovered by the natives in the stem of the bamboo," says a gentleman who has lived for a number of years in Manila. "Not one piece of bamboo ia a thousand, however, contains a specimen, as the bamboo grown there, as elsewhere, ;s usually empty; but accident occasionally brings to light in the bamboo stem a small, flintlike material which presents the appearance of a perfect opal. These nodules are known to the natives as 'tobacur,' and I have from time to time during my long stay on the islands seen several of these vegetable freaks of nature which reproduced the characteristic lines of t h e ' opp,! so faithfully that experts were puzzled to know the difference between the vegetable and the real specimen/* A Charch Carloeltjr. A church in which only two services are held during the year is surelj a curiosity, yet such a one is to be found in the middle of a large field near the village of Towton, In England.

But they are not healthy! The marks left by pain are on the young faces of many of our daughters. Pain that leaves its mark comes from a curable cause. If that cause is not removed i t s influence reaches out and overshadows a whole life. The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound' has been so u n i - formly successful for over a quarter of a century in overcoming the suffering of women, is t h a t it is thorough and goes directly to the cause. It is a woman's remedy for woman's ills. Miss EMILY F. HAAS, of 148 Freeman St., Greenpoint, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: " D E A R MRS. PINKHAM—I wish to state that I used your Vegetable Com pound with the greatest success. I was very sick for nearly a year with hysteria, was down-hearted and nervou*; also suffered with painful menstruation and pain in back and limbs. I often wished for death, thinking nothing would cure me. I had doctors, but their medicines did m e no good. At last, by the advice of a friend, I bt^an to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. and I am happy to say it has entirely cured me. JENNIE SHERMAN, of Fremont, Mich., Box 748, writes: • • D E A R MRS. PINKHAM:—I feel that I must write you and tell you what your medicine has done for me. I had neuralgia of the stomach for two years, so bad that I could not do any work. I had two or three doc* tors, b u t did not seem to get any better. I began taking Lydia E. Pinkh a m ' s Vegetable Compound and Liver Pill* and improved from the first, had better appetite, and after taking three bottles of Compound and one box of Liver Pills, can say that I am cured.

I have shared this belief. and yet we should bear t h e fact in mind that some farriers north of the frrlieth parallel of latitude have success with t h i s clover. The apparent f .fson seems to be that they s o w early in t h e season and cover the seed deeply. T h e seeding is done at the last cultivation of the corn in July, and the seed 1R put into the ground deep enough to get the needed moisture. If corn Is given surface-cultivation fhert is usually moisture at the depth of three Inches, or less rven during the drought. 13y deep seeding a good stand and fall growth of plantB is obtained, end it was in this particular that t h e usual shallow teedlngs have been failures.

These arguments are convincing and clear enough to cause tbe people of «ny comunity to shun the enemy of church, country, home and life. QI'AKKII YALLKY MKO.

AJtTOn, OfelsV tTbe W.rner Contiwnv t* il mueMv TTIIIMC.J—Editor Why does a man wear two buttons on the back of hia coat? This is not a companion riddle to "Joe" Miller's celebrated conundrum, "Why does a hen cross the street?" . But it is a pertinent interrogatory. Habit—that's the answer. Unquestioning, unreasoning custom. Your father wore two buttons In that same position. So did his father. So did your earlier ancestors. So do you. Adam didn't. There wasn't much call for sartorial splendor In the Adam period, and Eve wasn't the author of the "nine tailors to make a man" theory. About the time men began wearing clothes and developing differences of opinion in which the sword was the usual arbitrator the two buttons came to bo in evidence. They held the sword belt :v. place. When the coffee and pistol l'a-1 superseded the rage for rapiers the custom of wearing the two buttons was continued. Ever since then the buttons hnve been worn. No use to any one. No advantage except to the button manufacturers. Yet your tailor and mine had l;et;er not leave those buttons off, or we'll start an account at another tailor's. Look at the hairdresser's shop. This isn't for baldbeaded men or infants. There's a pole that looks like a stationary pousse cafe, or half a hundred rainbow colored serpents all climbing up and down in different directions, according to your condition. In the good old days when the giants were on the earth there wore also barber sur« geons seeking whom they might entice. The varicolored v^p was the sign of their profession. We den't have barber surgeons now. The surgeon lives in a fashionable quarter, and if you planned one of those poles in front of an othce the owner would have you locked up. The barber hangs on to the old custom. The pole means "Plcod letting done here." Come to think of it, the pole is not so appropriate, after all. But if I were a barber T would not advertise my specialty that way. When you write a business letter why do you write the name of the person who is to receive it at the top? Haven't you written the address and name on the envelope? What's the advantage of the double system? When the world was younger the scribes and Pharisnr* were not acquainted with envelopes, and consequently knew nothing of the mys'enp-- of the "envelope game" as it flounces to-day. The address wns therefore written on the letter itsoif. and the sheet was then folded in such a way as to bring the sunp'-pcription or!y to V'PW when the sealing wax was ap-, plied. The window custom Is one which almost every builder knows by heart. These gentlemen are In the habit of putting up houses with windows on all sides, and this is all right where there Is a use for these apertures: But your ordinary builder doesn't confine himself to the utilitarian. When he strikes a corner house where there are not so many windows required as in other localities he does the best he can to give that houBe the appearance of being nothing but windows. Look at all the corner houses you pass. Most of them have "blind" windows. Imagination windows are placed on the side walls, with lintels, ledges and sills, and the builder feels he has done his duty. Ever notice your dog walk around And ronnd in a circle before he lies down? Yes, of coarse. Why does he do that? Know of any reason why he j should go through that unvaryTng i form? No. Well, that dog's fore- I fathers and the forefathers of all the j dogs, big and little, started that prac- : tice. They had to beat out a hole in the snow or grass hefore they could get a comfortable bed. Then, too, your dog sits with his nose on his paws. You d°n't know why. Neither does your dog. But he's simply following instinct. His dog parents away back in the dim dog ages had to keep their noses clean for thp scent, and they never let them touch the dust or snow. There's the cat. Clean beast, thp cat. Always washing herself. That's because cleanliness runs in the cat family. The first cat had to be a mighty immaculate feline, physically, or her prey would have scented her and kitty would have gone hungry. And so it goes throughout. The man and the brute beasts are on an equality in the matter of fo.lowing blind custom. It will not be a surprise to any who are at all familiar with tbe (rood qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy lo know that people everywhere take pir-asurH in relating their experience m the use of that splendid medicine and in telling the benefit they recieved f < n, it. , f l,rtH colds it has cured, of thr.'«tHHMl nHa-ki of pneumonia it has Hv-rted and of the children it has saved from attackn of croup and wlioopinir 'U1 I1 Kor sale by P.

Large chunks of wood, about thirty inches long and six inches in diameter, are thrown into the digester and there boiled and treated with an acid. This process lasts for twelve hours and the wood is reduced to a fluid pulp, in which state it easily felts, or mats to- DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

Brocltton'a prosperity Is no closely allied to the prosperity of the shoe liiduntry that It will, no doubt, prove a matter ' of interest to a large number of people to learn the actual average earning capacity of each individual employed in the making of the world-famed Brockton uhoe. For illustration: At the factory of the I W. L. Douglas Shoe company the pay 1 roll for the week ending Sept. 80, excluding superintendent, foremen, aalesmen, and all clerical help, s h o w s the average earnings of the employes, large and small, to be J15.54 per week. This w a s not an extraordinary week. It w a s the customary pay roll. The amount earned per week, however, does not a l w a y s tell the atory of prosperity. The number of weeks employed each year la the determining factor In the w a g e earners' prosperity. The D o u g l a s j factory has been closed but one week this year, and that for the usual summer stock taking, and It will be closed but three days the latter part of December. Thla would make but nine days out of the year that the factory 1M closed, which Is surely a s steady work as the most industrious shoemaker could desire. It Is believed that the average pay and the number of days worked Is larger at the factory of the W. L. Douglas Shoe company than at any manufacturing Institution in Massachusetts. Owing to Increased business, another addition la to be made to the Douglas factory. It will be 10U feet long, 40 feet wide, and five stories high. It will be ready for occupancy early in December. This addition increases the capacity 25 per cent. The W. L. Douglas Shoe company ha3 the largest factory in the world, producing an advertised line VU>0 and $3.00 shoes. Mr. D o u g l a s say3 that the prospect for successful business for Brockton manufacturers w a s never so good as now, and that collections are better than for years. —The Brockton (Mass.)

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is InOamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness i s the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, heading will t>e destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.

Silas Barton, Saturday, Nov. 11. After a most excellent dinner, the club was called to order by t W , F. W. Allison. P r a y e r was offered by C. M. Wood, after which the audience sang " I n the Sweet Bye and Bye." Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Wilson with Mr. aad Mrs. C. V . V a n Winkle as alternates were elected to attend th e State Club a t Lansing. Lee Barton then favored tbe company with a humorous recitation which was followed by an instrumental solo by Miss Leda Stevenson. Kirk Van Winkle then read, by request, n paper written by Ex-Gov. W. 1). Hoard, of Wis., upon the subject, -'Farmer's .Problems.-" Mr. Hoard said: T h e sentiment of the farming classes is no longer legarded by the political boss with the wholsome dread that ought to exist. Taxation should be. based on the dollar's worth of property, no matter how it is invested. Men who pretend to be men in everything else, coolly perjurers himself to save a few dollars in taxes. T h e trust is not the creation of God, hut the child of legislation; without the corporation, t r u s t never could have been. T h e purpose of legislation, in this line, is to enrich some men without labor, a n d in so doing to impoverish a great many men who do labor. The loaning o( money has become almost as important a branch of the business of the Stock Exchange as the buying and selling ot stocks. If tnere is a l a r g e supply the bidder gets the money for one or two per cent. If tbe supply is small and demand eager, be may have t o pay forty per c e n t The banks do not hesitate to loan money at rates that appear to be a violation of the usury law. C, M. Wood was called upon to open the discussion upon this paper He said that never until recently had money gone begging at tiv3 per c e n t ; that he was not there to defend corporations, but co partnerships had always existed, and that be considered corporations far ahead of co-partnerships. Until recently we had been exporting gold now we were importi n g it, and that he believed this country was on t h e edge of a business boom. Z. Hartsuffin some remarks upon joint meeting with the Marion club at their home N o v . 23, Kirk V a n W i n k l e and 0. M. Wood were appointed as a committee to see about a place of meeting tor a one day institute to be held in this township. An invitation was extended to tbe Unadilla club to join us in this instit t t e . The meeting then closed by a duet by Ohas. and Leda Stevenson.

Americans can have good country roads, if they want them. It is only a matter of taking proper care of them when they are once made, and this must be done with regularity and system. In England the road-mender is always at work. He lives in a cottage on t h e r o a d and takes care of a section which has been assigned to him. With his harrow he fills the worn places with flint and removes the litter from the roadway, keeping it neat and tidy. There is an inspector for every county division, and all the roads are under the charge of a committee of the county council. From beginning to end of the year nearly every mile of English country road is under the charge of a rbad-mcnder, paid to do his work.

This somewhat extraordinary disposition to settle all outstanding disputes with this country is flattering, of course, to America, but it suggests that one or more of the complaisant powers mentioned is likely soon to spring a surprise in some part of the world and that it is thought best to be on friendly terms with Uncle Sam before attempting a coup.

The ItrlUlont Hclngs Hare Mucto to Do with Our Kverytluy Llfo—The Text 1» Judge* 13:10: Aud tue Augel Did YVoiuirouuly. (Copyright ISM by Louis Klopsch.) t i r e LUUI on a. IOCK. Amuoaa and his wife had there kindled the flames for sacrifcee in praise of God, and in honor of a guest whom they supposed to be a man. But, as the flames rose higher and higher, their stranger gut?3t stepped into the flame and by one red icup ascended into the skies. Then they knew that ho was an angel of the Luid. "The raigel did wondrously." Two hundred and forty-eight times Joes the Bible refer to the auyels, yet 1 never heard or read a termon on Angelology. The whole subject is I'ekgated to the realm mythical, weird, spectral and unknown. Such adjournment is unscripturul and wicked. Of their life, their character, their habits, their actions, their velocities, the Bible gives us full-iength portraits, and why this prolonged and absolute silence concerning them? Angelology is my theme. There are two nations of angels, and they are hostile to each other; the nation of good angels and the nation of bad angels. Of the former I chiefly speak today. Their capital, their headquarters, their grand rendezvous, is heaven, but their empire is the universe. They are a distinct race of creatures. No human being can ever join their confraternity. The little child who in the Sabbath school sings, " Iwant to be an angel," will never have her wish gratified. They are superhuman, but they are of different grades and ranks, not all on the same level, or the same height. They have their superiors and Inferiors and equals. I propose no guessing on this subject, but take the Bible for my only authority. Plato, the philosopher, guessed and divided angels into supercelestial, celestial and sub-celestial. Dionysius, the Areopagite, guessed and divided them into three classes— the supreme, the middle and the last— and each of these into three other classes, making nine in all. Philo said that the angels were related to God, as the rays to the sun. Fulge'ntius said that they were composed of body and spirit. Clement said they were incorporeal. Augustine said that they had been in danger of falling, but now are beyond being tempted. But the only authority on this subject, that I respect, says they are divided into Cherubim, Seraphim, Thrones, Dominations, Principalities, Powers. Their commander-in-chief is Michael. Daniel called him Michael, St. John called him Michael, These supernal beings are more thoroughly organized than any army that ever marched. They are swifter than any cyclone that ever swept the sea. They are more radiant than any morning that ever came down the sky. They have more to do with your destiny and mine than any being in the universe except God. May the Angel of the New Covenant, who is the Lord Jesus, open our eyes, aud touch our tongue, and rouse our soul, while we speak of their deathlessness, their intelligence, their numbers, their strength, their achievements. Yes. deathless. They had a cradle, but will never have a grave. The Lord remembers when they were born, but no cne shall ever see their eye extinguished, or their momentum slow up, c r their existence terminate. The oldest cf them has not a wrinkle, or a decrepitude, or a hindrance; as young after six thousand years as at the close of their first hour. Christ said of the g6od in heaven, "Neither can they die any mere, for they are equal unto the angels." Yes, deathless are these wonderful creatures of whom I speak. They will see world after world go out, but there shall be no fading cf their own brilliance. Yea, after the last world has taken its last flight, they will be ready for the widest circuit through immensity, taking a quadrillion of miles in one sweep as easy as a pigeon circles a dovecot. A further characteristic of these radiant folk is intelligence. The woman of Tekoah was right when she spoke to King David of the wisdom of an angel. We mortals take in what little we know through eye and car and nostril and touch; but those beings have no physical encasement and hence they are all senses. A wall five feet thick is not solid to them. Through it they go -without disturbing flake of mortar or crystal of sand. Knowledge? It flashes on then*. They take i\ in a t all points. They absorb it. They gather it up without any hiaderjnent. No need cf literature for them! The letters of their books are stars. The dashes of their books are meteors. The words of their boosts are constellations. T h e paragraphs of their books are galaxies. The pictures of their books are sunrises, and sunsets, and midnight auroras, and the Conqueror on t h e white horse with t h e moon uud* r his feet. Their library is an opvtt universe. :'o need of telescope to BOH AomcthiAf millions of miles away, lor instantly ihey are inert to inspect and explore it. All astronomies, all geologies, all botanies, all philosophies at their feet. What an opportunity for intelligence is theirs! What facilities for knowing everything and knowing it right away! There is only one thing that puts them to their wit's end, and the Bible says they have to study that. They have been studying it all through tne ages, and yet I warrant they have not fully grasped it—the wonders of Redemption. These wonders are so hUh, so deep, so grand, so stupendous, „0 magnificent that even the Intelligence of angelhood ia confounded before- it. The apostle says, "Which things the angels desire to look into." That is a subject that excites inquisttiveness on their part. That is a theme that strains their faculties to the utmost. That is higher than they can climb, deeper than they can dive, They have a desire for something too big for their comprehension. "Which thi lgs the angels desire to look into." Hut that docs not discredit their intelli.ceuce. No one but God himself can fully understand the wonders of Redemption. If all heaven should study it for fifty eternities they would get no further than the A B C of that inexhaustible subject. But nearly all other realms of knowledge they have ransacked and explored and compassed. No one but God can tell them anything, they do r o t know. They have read to the last word of the last line of the last page of the last volume of investigation. And what delights me most is thai all their intelligence is to be a t our disposal, and, coming into their presence they will tell us in five minutes more than we can learn by one hundred years of earthly surmising. Another remark I have to make concerning these illustrious immortals is that they are multitudinous. Their census has never been taken and no one but God knows how many they are, but all the Bible accounts suggest their immense numbers. Companies of them, regiments of them, armies of them, mountain-tops haloed by them, skies populous with them. John speaks of angels and other beings round the throne as ten thousand times ten thousand. Now. according j to my calculation, ten thousand times ten thousand tire one hundred million. But these are only the angels in one place. David counted twenty thousand of them rolling down the sky in chariots. When God came away from the riven rocks of Mount Sinai, the Bible says he had the companionship of ten thousand angels. I think they are in every battle, in every exigency, at every birth, at every pillow, at every hour, at every moment. The earth full of them. The heavens full of them. They outnumber the human race in this world. They outnumber ransomed spirits in glory. When Abraham had his knife uplifted to slay Isaac, it was an angel who arrested the strode, crying, "Abraham!' A b r a h a m ! " it was a stairway of angels that Ja^ob sawwhile pillowed in the wilderness. We are told an ange1 led the hosts of Israelites out of Egyptian serfdom. It was an angel that showed Hagar the fountain where she filled the bottle for the lad. It was an ingel that took Lot out of doomed Sodom. Jt was an angel that shut up the mouth of the hungry monsters when Daniel was thrown into the caverns. It was, an angel-that fed Elijah under the juniper tree. It was an angel that announced to Mary the approaching nativity. They were ar.sels that chanted when Christ was born. It was an angel that strengthened our Savior in his agony. It was an angel that encouraged Paul in the Mediterranean shipwreck. It was an angel that burst open the prison, gate after gate, until Peter was liberated. It was an angel that stirred the Pool cf Siloam where, the sick were healed. I t was an angel that John saw flying through the midst of heaven, and an angel with foot planted on the sea, and. an angel that opened the book, and an angel that thrust in the sickle, and an angel that poured out the vials, and an angel standing in the sun. It will be an angel with uplifted hand, swearing that Time shall be no longer. In the great final harvest of the world, t i e reapers are the angels. Yea, the Lord shall be revealed from heaven with mighty angels. Oh, the numbers and the might and the glory of these supernals! Fleets of them! Squadrons cf them! Host beyond host! Rank above rank! Millions on millions! ,-ri.nd all on our side if we will have ,them. Men and women of all circumstances, only partly appreciated, or not appreciated at all. never feel lonely again or unregarded again! Angels all around; angels to approve, angels to help, angels to remember. Yea, while all the good angels are friends of the good, there is one special angel your bodyguard. This Idea, until this present study of angelology, I supposed to be fanciful, but I find it clearly stated in the Bible. When the disciples were praying for Peter's deliverance fr-m prison, and he appeared a t the door of the prayer meeting, they could not believe it was Peter. They said, "It is his angel." So these disciples, In ipe- «!al nearness to Christ, evidently behoved toot every worthy soul has an jwigel. Jcr-.rj said of his' fjilovwr*: "Their aagel.s shall behold the face of rny Fathor." Elsewhere it is said: "He shall give his angels charge over theo, to keep thee in all thy ways." Angel-shieldod, angel-protected, angelguardod, angel-canopied. a*t thou! No wonder that Charles Wesley hymned these words: "Which of the petty kings of cartl* Can boast a guard like ours, Encircled from our second birth With all the heavenly powers?" Valerius and IUiflnus were put to death for Christ's sake in the year 287 and after the day when their bodies had been whipped and pounded into a jelly, in the night in prison, and before the next day when they were tc be executed, they both thought they saw angels standing with two glittev- . i n s crowns, saying, "Be of good cheer, valiant soldiers of Jesus Christ! a little more of battle, and then these crowns are yours." And I am glad t:. know that before many cf thosp who have passed through great sufferings in this life some angel of God has held a blazing coronet of eternal reward. Yea, we are to have such a guardian angel to take us upward when our work is done. You know, we are told an angel conducted Lazarus to Abraham's bosom. That shows that none shall be so poor in dying he c&nnot afford angelic escort. It would be a long way to go alone, and up paths wo have never trod, and amid blazing worlds swinging in unimaginable momentum, out and on through such dis* tances and across such infinitudes of space, we should shudder at the thought of going alone. But the angelic escort will come to your languishing pillow or t h e place of your fatal accident, and say: "Hail, immortal one! All is well; God hath sent me to take you home." And, without tremor or slightest sense of peril, you will away and upward, f u r t h a / o n and further on, until after a /while heaven heaves in sight, and the rumble of chariot wheels and the roll of mighty harmonies are heard in the distance, and nearer you come, and nearer still, until the brightness is like many mornings suffused into one, and the gates lift, and you are inside the amethystine walls and on the banks of the jasper sea, forever safe, forever fr<^e, forever well, forever rested, forever united, forever happy. Mothers, do not think your little children go alone when they quit this world. Out of your arms into angelic arms; out of sickness into health; out of the cradle into a Saviour's bosom. Not an instant will the darlings be alone between the two kisses—the last kiss of earth and the first kiss of heaven. "Now, angels, do your work!" cried an expiring Christian. Yes, a guardian angel for each one of you. P u t yourself now in accord with him. When he suggests the right, follow it; when he warns against the wrong, shun it. Sent forth from God to help you in this great battle against sin and death, accept his deliverance. When tempted to a feeling of loneliness and disheartenment, appropriate the promise, "The angel of the Lord encampeth around about them that fear him and delivereth them." Oh. I am so glad that the spaces between here and heaven are thronged with these supernaturals, taking tiding3 home, bringing messages here, rolling back obstacles from our path aud giving us defense; for terrific are the forces who dispute our way, and if the nation of the good angels is on our side, the nation of the bad angels is on th3 other. Paul had it right when he said. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." In that awful fight may God send us .mighty angelic re-enforcement! We want all their wings on our side, all their swords on our side, all their chariots on our rdde. Thank God that those who are for us are mightier than those who are against u s ! And t h a t thought makes me jubilant as to the final triumph. Belgium, you know, was the battleground of England and France. Yea, Belgium more than once was the battle- ground of opposing nations. It so happens that this world is the Belgium or battle-ground between the angelic nations, good and bad. Michael, the commander-in-chief on one side; Lucifer, as Byron calls him, or Mephistopheit- s, as Goethe calls him. or Satan, as the Bible calls him, the commander- in-chief on t h e other side. All pure angelhood under the one leadership, and all abandoned angelhood under the other leadership. Many a skirmish have the two armies had, but the great and decisive battle is yet to be fought. Either from our earthly homes or down from our supernal residences, may we come in on the right side; for on that aide are God and heaven and victory. Meanwhile the battle is being set in array, and the forces, celestial and demoniacal, are confronting each other. Hear the boom of the great cannonade already opened; Cherubim, seraphim, thrones, ,10231- nations, principalities and powers are beginning to ride down their foes, and until the work is completed, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, moon, in the vaiiej or AJsioa!"

This was crossed, until recently, by a wooden bridge, 126 feet high, which took over 240.0OO feet of lumoer in the building. Recently this trestle was filled in, and the great undertaking attracted the attention of railroad men all over the country. It took twenty weeks to accomplish the task. It was necessary to haul 2,880,000 cubic feet of earth one and one-half miles up a two per cent grade and unload off the high bridge. This required 1,486 trains of fifteen cars each; 22,000 carloads in all. It was a stupendous undertaking, but now the bridge can't burn, and It doesn't cost a lot of money every year for repairs and watchers. Unquestionable Proof.

Monsieur Arnaud, who had made a colossal fortune in trade, who had bought land in Brittany, had heard her sing and proposed and been refused, and now proposed again and '<vas accepted. She accepted the colossal fortune, and hoped that the jam would compensate for the presence of the pill in the shape of monsieur. I hope monsieur proved a more bitter pill than she expected; I hope devoutly that he proved a brute; but of that history does not speak." The clock ticked on an&in in the Mlent room. Meg and I sat r<till, saying nothing for some minutes; then I asked half absently— "Who told you the story?" "Never mind who told me," said Meg, rising suddenly from the elbow of my chair and wandering away from me to turn over the music on the piano. "I heard it long ago, but had half forgotten it; and it was only the other day that I knew it was John to whom sho had been engaged." "And John thinks her so ^ood!" I said wonderingly, speaking to myself rather than to Meg. "My dear," returned Meg drily, "John is a paragon—as 1 believe we have said before." A soft tap at the drawing-room door, and (he maid announced— "Madame Arnaud." I rose quickly. Madame Arnaud came across the room towards Me. She kissrrl me and shook handp with Meg; and, in another minute, I was offering her tea. and she was sitting talking to us in that soft, low, musical voice of "We want to know you," she continued. "You won't let us know you!" "Madame Arnaud," broke in Meg, irrepressibly, "Kitty Is very dull when known. I've known her for seventeen years, and can speak with authority. I wish you'd want to know me instead! I should be most grateful—I would come to see you frequently, and never wait for formal invitations. I like coming to see people who live in big houses, with plenty of servants, and plenty of easy chairs, and hot-house flowers, and grapes and peaches out of season, and a brougham to drive ia the park in, and a man in livery to open shop doors and wait outside! 1 will come and sec you every day if you like. I'm nicer than Kitty—I am, indeed!" Meg had succeeded. It was impossible to tall: seriously if Meg meant the conversation to be frivolous The conversation remained frivolous until Madame Arnaud rose to gv. "John is not back yet?" she asked, as she rose from her chair. "His slippers arc still in view," said Meg—"on the dining-room fender—or is it in the breakfast-room, Kitty, that they reside when warming?" "No, John is net in yet," I replied coldly. Madame Arnaud opened the fur bagmuff she carried and took out a letter. "I feared I should not see him. Will you give him this?" she said, and there was just a touch of embarrassment in her manner as I took the letter from her. "You won't forget it?" she besought me, with a note of anxiety in her clear, sweet voice. "I am not likely to forget," I said. A minute later Meg and I were alone again, and Meg, too, was rising ir go. pas© to read It through again; h« stood stlil for many minutes, the lette' in his hand, and seemed to be lost 1* thought. The dinner-bell rang v/h/> he wa3 standing there. I put down my book and rose blowly from my seat. Then John sighed, folded his letter, and came towards me. "Kitty, I am going out," he said. I did not reply for a moment; my heart felt dead within me. I could not even feel angry; I was too heart-sick with misery, with helpless, hopeless, aching regret. "To Madame Arnaud's?'*' I asked. And the question was asked in the most level tone, without passion, almost without interest in the answer. "Yes, I am sorry to leave you again, Kitty." But, although he spoke in his habitually gentle way, he spoke abstractedly. "Don't trouble," I said, coldly, "I do not mind." "Have dinner, Kitty. Then go round and see the girl3." "Oh, yes—that is a most exciting plan!" "So exciting that you are almost glad to get rid of me?" I smiled a hard, mirthless litth smile. "The society of one's contemporaries is such a relief, is it not?" I said; and I meant the speech to be biting in Its sarcasm. My voice spoilt the speech a little by faltering. John was looking at me with such a grave glance that my eyes fell. He did not answer me. He drew on his thick gloves slowly, looking thoughtfully away from me down into the fire; then he sighed, kissed me in a grave way, and went. I heard the street door shut, then I sat down in a hopeless attitude upon the rug, buried my face in my hands I and burst into tears. THERE IS A LETTER FOR YOC." hers that made her most commonplace speeches charming, graceful and full of mean ID 5. "I want you and John to come to the theater with me one day next week," she sxid. "Miss CcrC*ld has promised to come too. You must tell me which day will be jnost conveni e n t " "Thank you; any day." I replied coldly. I could not accept the invitation with the graciousness that was befitting. I was grateful to Meg for breaking in and taking upon herself the onus of the conversation. She talked nonsense eloquently for the next ten minutes, And never left a pause. "Do yotruWnow what 1 meakt to say t o you when I came this evening?" cald Madame Arnaud at length, turning away J r o a Meg and smiling at me. *'i meant to scold you. Why do you never come to wee ua?" ••I do come, Madam* Arnaud—very often." "Not ve/f ojten," the returned reproachfully. "Never unless we send a formal invitation to you!" "Kitty has given up the world," interjected Meg. "She devote* .htreelf to planning unexpected mutton chops for John, airing his newspapers, and > putting his slippers down to warm." Madame Arnaud, looking e a ^ e s i l y zX me, paid no heed to l^eg's explanations. "Kitty, do you pride yourself on your manners as a youthful hostess?" she asked. "No, not at all." "That's a good thing," she said. "I dare say I was rude," I admitted unrepentantly. "Oh, don't fesl doubtful about it, dear—you needn't! You were an icicle —an iceberg—the polar regions! I'm going, dear. Good-night." "Gocd-night," I said. Meg was gone/ The Are was now burning low; the lamp, with its big red shade, made a circle of light in the distant corner; all the rest of the room was dim. I sat in my low chair beside the fire and waited for John to come. He came at last. He stopped to hang up his hat and great-coat in the hall, then came briskly toward the drawing- room. "Kitty! All in the dark!" he exclaimed, as he opwaed the door. He came across the room, bent down and kissed me. then stood before the fire, holding out his hands to warm them. "John." I said in my coldest, most steady tone, determined to speak quite carelessly, "there is a letter for you— from Madame Arnaud. Here it is." He took it eagerly. I opened a book and pretended to be deeply absorbed in i t John carried his letter across the room toward the lamp. He read it without making any comment. I heard him turn to the first CHAPTER XII. Seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock struck. The fire had burnt lower, and at last had gone out; the room bad grown cold. Still I sat in the same attitude—my b*«»d bowed down upon my hands—and tried to think calmly of the future that lay before me—tried and failed. I was so young!—I had so many years to live! —that thought was too pitiful; it made me cry anew! And as long as I live, John's life must be a bondage; he had married me for kindness' sake, but perhaps he had new- realized beforehand how little I should have in common with him. how young I was, how fouiish, how dull the constant companionship of a girl of seventeen must b\L And again my tears flowed fast for John's sorrow or for the pathos of my own part therein. I was numb with cold, dazed with weeping, when at last I roce from the floor. Suppose John should return at this moment, and find me in tears! In sudden fear of his return, I ran upstairs to rny room, took my hat and cloak and went out of doors into the cold gray October night. There were few people about. In the park the paths were deserted. If I had been less unhappy, I should have been frightened at the loneliness; I was too wretched to feel fear or to care .about the cold. The clouds parted a little; the moon came out and shone down between t\vi trees upon the rippling water; the water sparkled coldly, the bare branches looked ghostly in the pale silvery light. Then the clouds gathered again and the moon was hidden. I sat down on a seat beside the pathway, with my fur cloak drawn closely about me; and my tears fell fast again beneath my veil. Footsteps came slowly up the lonely path. Two figures were advancing in the darkness; I saw them dimly outlined, but did not heed them. I only awoke to any interest in them when my ear detected a woman's choking sob. "I cannot bear it!" said a voice—a woman's voice, tremulous, broken. "It is too hard—I cannot bear it! For ten years I have hoped for the best. I have borne everything; I have looked forward to brighter times, never allowed myself to despair. And now— now—the ten years are over, and things are as they were te»n years ago. But then I had courage! Now I have no courage. I look forward to the future and see no comfort—none— ncne!" The voic* was so broken, so tearful, that it scarcely struck me as familiar. The man and woman slowly advanced, slowly passed; then, all at once through the parting clouds, the moon shone out again—shone across the retreating figures, and I recognized John and Madame Arnaud.

He will answer, "Cod-liver oil." Nine out of ten will answer the same way. Yet when persons have consumption they loathe all fatty foods, yet rat is neces- , sary for their recovery and they cannot take plain cod- : liver oil. The plain oil disturbs the stomach and takes away the appetite. The disagreeable fishy odor and taste make it almost unendurable. What is to be done? This question was answered when we first made SCOTT'S EMULSION of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. Although that : was nearly twenty-five years : ago, yet it stands alone today the one great remedy : for all affections of the throat and lungs* The bad taste and odor have been taken away, the oil itself has been partly digested and the most sensitive stomach objects to it rarely. Not one in ten can take and dl jest the plain oil Nine out of ten can take SCOTTS EMULSION and digest H. That*s why it cures so many cases of early consumption. Even in advanced cases it brines comfort and greatly prolongs life. Maggie Birnie spent Sunday with Greg* ory friends. Willis Smith and wife spent Thursday with friends here.

They endeavored to make t h e Boers develop their strength by demonstrating w i t h t w o squadrons of t h e 9th Lancers and a field battery on the left wing, w i t h one and one-half companies of mounted Infantry on t h e r i g h t w i n g and w i t h artillery in the middle of the plateau out of the infantry fire. After a demonstration lasting three hours Col. (rough withdrew his force and returned to camp. How many were killed w a s not mentioned in t h e dispatch, but i t is said t h e wounded w e r e immediately sent by rail t o Orange river after t h e engagement. T h e fear of a native uprising w a s referred to as making for peace b e t w e e n Great Britain and the Transvaal. Censuses in South Africa are not as accurate as in some other parts of the world, but the latest figures show that in Cape Colony the population is 376,812 w h i t e and 1,148.920 colored; in Natal, 44,415 w h i t e and 459,288 colored; in Rhodesia, 13,0()0 white and 500,000 colored; i n Bechuanaland, 5,254 w h i t e and 7,471 colored; in Basutoland, 578 w h i t e a n d 218.320 colored; in t h e Transvaal, 300,- 000 w h i t e and 649,5()0 colored; in Swaziland, no w h i t e and 60,000 colored, a n d in t h e Orange Free State, 77,716 w h i t e and 129,787 colored.

A missionary, a native but a reliable man, w h o arrived at Estcourt o n t h e 15th from Lady smith, reports that a b i g light took place there o n Friday, Nov. 10. He says t h a t volunteers w e n t o u t in the early morning and drew t h e e n e m y from their positions onto a flat, where the regular troops, under Gen. Sir George White, outraaneuvered t h e m by outflanking t h e Boers, administering a crushing defeat and inflicting great loss. More than 200 Kaffirs, the missionary says, w e r e employed b y the Boers to bury their dead, and t h e t w o trains, each drawn by t w o engines, carry a w a y the wounded. Misfortune steadfastly pursues British employment of armored trains, t h e fascination for which has given t h e Boers their first and latest victories. On the last occasion t h e British seem to have walked into a deliberate trap, w i t h the result that, according to t h e best accounts. 90 men are either killed, wounded or missing. Of these t h e Fusiliers claim 50 and Durban infantry 40. It is believed t h a t few escaped and that the others are prisoners in t h e hands of the Boers. A special dispatch from Durban, N a - tal, dated Nov. 9, says: Native runners w h o have just arrived here from the Drakemburg district report t h a t the Boers suffered a severe defeat a t Ladysmith this morning. The Boer gxins were silenced after four hours' fighting, during w h i c h the Boer losses were heavy. No details have been received. President Kruger has threatened t o shoot six British officers, w h o m h e holds as prisoners, in event an alleged Boer spy is executed at t h e hands of the British. It is hardly t h o u g h t h e w i l l dare do this, as it w o u l d be a direct violation of t h e elementary rules of civilized warfare. A dispatch from Cape T o w n announces the arrival there of the troopships Armenean and Nubin, w i t h a total of 12,802 reinforcements for the British. Also that t h e troopship Oriental, w i t h 75 officers and 1,218 m e n , has arrived. T h e total British reinforcements t h a t have arrived in South Africa since Nov. 10 are 19,000 men, chiefly infantry, nearly 13,000 horses and mules, three batteries of field artillery, a n d a number of quick firing Maxim guns. T h e British admiralty h a s e n g a g e d the fast steamers Gaul, Norman, D o n n e Castle and Avondale Castle t o embark the greater part of the 5th division of 10,000 troops at Southampton for t h e Cape.

Fashion's Latest Deeree from Perls Caused ay Baldness. From the Pittsburg Dispatch: It is with pain and dismay that we learn from a n alleged scientific comment on the course of the fashions that w e are approaching an era of feminine wigs. The assertion is backed by a report of wigs worn by the s m a r t women of Paris, but the explanation of the coming misfortune In the Hoe of coiffures credits it to a more obvious relation of cause and efTect than can be generally discovered in feminine fashions. The explanation la briefly that in the past fashions crlmpingirons and curling-tongs to produce wavy and romantic locks damaged t h e vitality of the hair. Then the pompadour roll strained It back until nature proceeded to revenge herself by producing nice little bare spots on t h e heads of fashionable women. After which, when the coming fashionable effect requires more hair than t h e feminine head is able to furnish, recourse must be had to the hair of commerce. If fashion calls for wigs, w i g s will be worn. We can set that down as settled by the testimony of the centuries as to feminine fidelity t o ' t h e fashions. Nevertheless, we would urge upon the better half of society to take this scientific fashionable prediction In the light of a warning rather than a chart. Dear ladies, preserve your hair. If you must wear wigs you will still be the mistresses of masculine affections. Catarrh Cannot Be Cored with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

T h e y were w a l k i n g still, but I heard n o more. I rose quickly, and began to m o v e away mechanically toward home. I put back m y veil and bared m y face to t h e keen October air; I felt stifled; the October evening night m i g h t have been a sultry August noonday; there seemed to be no air at all; I could not breathe. T h e y had re-kindled the fire in my absence, and made the room look home-like. I t s home-like air seemed like bitterest satire. I sat in the warm, bright light and waited for John to come. It w a s late before he came. I had not thought h o w I should meet him. I had sat for t w o hours waiting for him, and had thought of nothing. Even when John came toward me and spoke to me, I had no thought in my mind of what I was to say. My heart w a s sick with despair. Out of my passionate despair I should speak presently. And my passionate words were not likely to be wise words. "Why did you wait up for me, K i t t y ? " he said gently, In a tired tone. "I a m late. . You shouldn't have waited for me." I looked at h im without a word, then rose and moved across the room, away from him. Parting the curtains before the window, I stood looking out into t h e dimmer light of the outer world. Still standing so, my face turned away, I spoke to him. My voice •tartled even me—it was s o passionless, so cold and steady. "John, I w a n t to go away from you," I said. John crossed the room without a n - swering a word. He took my t w o cold hands in his, and I let them rest there passively. He looked down at me gravely with a glance that was a t first a little stern, but almost at once gre^w very gentle. "Kitty, you're in earnest!" he excannot be what it might h a v e been; but let us make the best of it, Kitty— by-and-by, dear, love may come." I drew my bands a w a y w i t h . a sharp, sudden gesture. He spoke of love, not as though it had been weak and had failed him, but as though it had never been. "It will n o t come," I cried. "Love does not come with bidding, only weariness." He stood in silence looking gravely at me, with a gravity far more stern than gentle. I knew that h e agreed with me; h e urged no word of protest, n o word'of hope. For o n e long minute we stood silent, facing one another. "What are we to do, Kitty?" h e said at last, coldly y e t patiently. "I leave our future in your hands." "The future m a y be s o long!" I said bitterly. "I shall live for many years. I am s o strong—so strong! N o t h i n g ever happens t o me; I shall live for years and years and years!" "Kitty, child, you break m y heart when you talk like that!" cried John hoarsely. I laughed a hard, sullen little laugh, the sound of which made me shiver, and then suddenly made me wish t o cry. For the first time my voice trembled, grew passionate. "I wish I could break your heart!'* I cried. "I wish it—oh, I wish i t ! You have broken mine and you do not care!" John bore my passionate, pitiless reproaches without a word. He made n o attempt to soothe me or caress me. He stood looking at me sorrowfully, very gravely, with something of anger and something of pity in his glance. "Let me go, John—let me g o ! " I cried. "Go where, Kitty?" he asked forbearingly. "Anywhere." "Anywhere from me?" "Anywhere where I shall not see you, H E T U R N E D WITHOUT ANOTHER WORD A N D LEFT ME. claimed. "My dear, tell me what you mean." My hands still rested In his. I w a s still looking up a t him. B u t for a m o m e n t I could find n o more words at i my command. "I h a v e n o t made y o u happy!" J o h n •aid in a tone of deep, bitter conviction and self-reproach. "I have tried. I have failed." "It w a s my fault," I returned, speaking steadily i n . t h e same dull, passionless, e v e n way. "Perhaps it w a s your fault, too. You shouldn't have married me. You knew—you must have known—that I should be wretched." " K i t t y ! K i t t y ! " "It w a s a mistake. Only a m i s t a k e ! You thought y o u would make me bappy. Y o u did i t for the best W h y did you, John—why did you?" My e y e s were tearless a s they looked up into his. All the tears I had had t o shed I had shed hours a g o . Never, I felt, a s long a s I lived, should I cry again. I felt numb and still. Even m y reproach came In a stony voice that teemed t o have n o emotion in it. "Yet, w e h a v e m a d e a mistake, Kitty," said John, s i f h l n g deeply. *% as y o u s a y , should h a r e known. B u t I did n o t know! Well, w e have faced . tin* mistake; perhaps It w a s wiser faotd. N o w let u s begin anew. Life John; where I m a y try, try hard t o forget you, and t o forget how miserable I am." He waited for a moment that h i s words might b e calm and yet carry force with them. "Kitty, you talk like a child," h e said. "I can't let you g o away from me. We cannot forget one another. For husband and wife, dear, forgetting is not possible!" We stood a little apart, looking straight a t o n e another, our faces resolute, our wills resisting one another. "You will n o t let me go?" I asked. "I will not let y o u go," said John. Then suddenly h e sighed, and h i s tone grew gentle again. "I will not let y o u go, Kitty," h e added, "for your sake, not for mine. You do not know what a young wife, w h o leaves her home, h a s to bear—how s h e is spoken of, w h a t is thought of her. Though our marriage may have been a mistake, the m i s t a k e is made, w e cannot escape from it. I regret it, Kitty, as deeply as y o u do. But, regret a s w e may, you are still my wife. A n d I will not have my wife misjudged, lightly spoken of." Even a t that moment, though I had pleaded to be allowed to go, pleaded passionately to be s e t free, I w a s glad that he refuaed my prayer. E v e n though h e did not love m e , a r t * though it w a s only torture to be w i t h him and t o k n o w that h i s love w a s a o t mine, still I w a s glad that h e kept m* bound. "Everything e k e m a t y o u a s k me," he said slowly and steadily, "I will grant. I will do what you will. You shall live your o w n life; y o u shall be as free a s though you had carried out your o w n wild wish and had escaped from me." I w a s silent. "I will not see you xtore than I can help," he continued in t h e s a m e cold steady tone. "You shall b e free, a s free as I can make you. I promise. Are you satisfied?" "Yes," I said fainUy. And he turned without another word and left me. C H A P T E R XIII. "My dear Kate," said A u n t Jane, u n - tying her bonnet-string a s though s h e meant h e r call t o be a long one, and looking a t me slowly from top to toe disapprovingly, I have n o desire whatever to interfere with you. Your affairs are n o longer any business of mine, and I refrain offering you m y opinion. I only a s k you o n e question —why, whenever I come, i s John always out?" Aunt Jane waited, but I did n o t offer to answer h e r question. "I call In t h e morning," s h e continued—" he is a t h i s office; that, of course, is as it should be. B u t I call about luncheon-time; h e Is lunching a t his club, and perhaps you a r e n o t aware, Kate, that luncheon a t a club is a n expensive luxury. S a v e s time? Nonsense! A 'bus saves time, and i s cheaper. I call in the afternoon—late in t h e afternoon, toward dusk—John is at the office still. I call in t h e evening and J o h n is out again. I have n o wish to pry—John's affairs are h i s o w n —but I know a s a fact that h e h a s n o t spent an evening at home for the past five days. Twice he dined at t h e club. Twice he dined with h i s sister and Madame Arnaud. One night, w h o knows where he dined? N o w , Kate, why i s it?" I had lost my old fear of A u n t Jane, I replied calmly enough. "I don't w a n t to talk about myself and John," I said. "Very naturally not," returned Aunt Jane with severity. "You k n o w a s well as I do that, if John dines o u t o n five consecutive nights, it is y o u w h o are to blame. You drive him a w a y from home. Y o u have a cough, K a t e ; y o u should cure that cough; m e n dislike a cough exceedingly." I smiled; I could not help it. F o r Aunt Jane to preach wifely duties of self-abnegation w a s too humorous. "When John comes in, Kate, do you meet him with a pleasant smile? Do you lay aside your work to attend t o him? Do you try to converse with him on topics of interest to h i m ? " In spite of my heavy spirits, I smiled again. I w a s thinking of the cold welcomes that Uncle Richard w a s wont to receive; she guessed something of my thought perhaps. "Yours is n o t an ordinary marriage," pbe added in her coldest tone. "You hare to remember John's goodness to ycu." "I remember it—constantly." Aunt Jane regarded me with an unfriendly scrutiny. "You have a house of your own," s h e continued, "and servants of your o w n . You dress well—indeed, I m a y say e x - travagantly; you have everything that heart can desire." "Everything," I said, l o o k i n g dully at her with a blank glance. "I am one of the very happiest of people. She still eyed me suspiciously. "If h e had n o t married y o u , what would have become of you? D o y o u ever think of that?" s h e demanded i n an admonishing tone. "I a m thinking of it always. Don't be afraid, Aunt Jane; I realize John's kindness more often and more fully than you can possibly do!" "Kate, y o u are excited—hysterical. And y o u cough constantly. W h a t i s the matter with you?" "Nothing. A little cold." "You have a hectic spot of color i n each cheek. H a v e you seen a doctor?" "No." "I shall advise J o h n t o send for one. One visit m a y set y o u right, and s a v e a heavy bill later on. Your health, Kate, is a most important matter; a n ailing wife wears o u t the patience of the most patient husband. W h a t does J o h n think of that cough of y o u r s ? " "He does n o t know I have it." "Does not k n o w ! " My face grew h o t a* I made m y c o n - fession. "I s e e very little of John," I said, trying t o speak simply. "And I a m n o t always coughing. Don't talk to h i m about it. I won't h a v e a doctor, n o t even if you speak t o John." Aunt Jane let t h e subject drop. I thought I should h a v e had m y w a y — a thought that spoke ill for m y discernment. A u n t Jane m e t J o h n a s h e returned home, bade h i m w a l k back with her and listen t o her. Before a n hour had passed a doctor w a s attending me. It w a s decreed that I s h o u l d go t o bed, a n d that I should s t a y there for a week. Would I have A u n t Jane or o n e of the girls come and nurse m « ? (To be continued.)

"MANY ROOMS IN HEAVEN," S U N D A Y ' S SUBJECT. From John Chapter XIV, T W M 9, a* roUowti—"In My rather'* H o u e Are Many Room***—A BoUXm of MedloUe That U » Care-Ail. *- Men sometimes denounce gossip, but not until they have listened to every word of it. It matters little if you are ignorant, for you will meet people daily who know it all. The average girl never turns up her nose at the man who knows enough to turn down the gas. An elaborate tombstone and a contested will is about the only notoriety wealth brings to some men. The feathers do not make the song bird, but many a man has made a goose of himself with a single quill. An epigram is a lot of words fitted together in such a peculiar manner that their lack of meaning is concealed by the brilliant effect produced. The opening of the school year ha* been atte ided by few reports of hating, the barbarous method of welcoming freshmen that long prevailed in many leading colleges and universities. "Electricity as we know it" is Just a hundred years old. In 1799, the Italian scientist Volta gave definite form to the method of producing the current; and it is from his name that we have the term "volt-meter" to describe the instrument which measures the force of the current, and "volt" as the unit of that measurement. We know several persons who would like to wait around and see what developments along this line may be reached by the end of another century. American commercial alertness seems to have taken away the breath of those BritiBh merchants and commercial bodies that have been watching the progress of the Philadelphia commercial congress. The complete collection of foreign samples gathered for the us* of the home manufacturers has filled their minds with astonishment, and they are now urging the British board of trade to adopt similar measures. The British merchant must exhibit more activity and less indifference than he hitherto has done if he expects to regain any of the business taken away from him by the United States through superior enterprise. According to telegraphic reports from Austin, Tex., at no time in its history has Texas ever had so many drouths as during the past summer and this fall. Every section of the state from the Panhandle to the gulf has been visited by a drouth. The outlook in most of the larger cities of central Texas is anything but promising. Dallas, Port Worth, Waco, Austin and one or two other larger cities of the state are at present in the throes of a water famine. From points along the Missouri, Kansas k. Texas railroad from the Indian Territory down to Bastrop comes the announcement that there is a distressing scarcity of water. Reports from the ranges say that cattle are dying for want of water and as there Is little promise of cny reavy rains before December the situation Is grave. Before the passengers of the strand* ed steamer "Paris" separated, last spring, they presented to the officers and crew resolutions of thanks for the wonderful discipline, courage and unfailing helpfulness they had shown. After this had been voted, Baron Oppenheim, one of the wealthiest Jews • f Europe, rose to his feet The resolutions, he observed, Included the captain, the under-offlcers, the stewards, cooks and crew; but of the one to whom each directly owed his safety— of God—he had heard no mention. They were folk of many beliefs, gathered there. He would not even call Cor a spoken prayer, but he suggested that they bow their heads there in silent thanksgiving to the common Protector of them all. One is forcibly reminded of another shipwreck, nearly *lnf4««w hundred years ago, when a Hebrew of the Hebrews, one Paul by m i t gathered the Gentile soldiers e n d eailore abomt him to give thanks t e tke Batar of the seas. (Copyright 189» by Louis Klopoch.) Here is a bottle of medicine that Is a cure-all. The disciples were sad, and Christ offered heaven as an alterative, a stimulant and a tonic. He shows them that their sorrows are only a dark background of a bright picture of coming felicity. He lets them know that though now they live on the lowlands, they shall yet have a house on the uplands. Nearly all the Bible descriptions of heaven may be figurative. I am not positive that in all heaven there Is a literal crown or harp or pearly gate or throne or chariot. They may be only used to illustrate the glories of the place, but how well they do it! The favorite symbol by which the Bible presents celestial happiness Is a house. Paul, who never owned a house, although he hised one for two years in Italy, speaks of heaven as a "house not made with hands," and Christ in our text, the translation of which is a little changed, BO as to give the more accurate meaning, says: "In my Father's house are many rooms." This divinely authorized comparison of heaven to a great homestead of large accommodations I propose to carry out. In some healthy neighborhood a man builds a very commodious habitation. He must have room for all his children. The rooms come to be called after the different members of the family. That is mother's room; that is George's room; that Is Henry's room; that is Flora's room; that is Mary's room, and the house is all occupied. But time goes by, and the sons go out into the world, and build their own. homes; and the daughters are married, or have talents enough singly to go out and do a good work in the world. After a while the father and mother are almost alone In the big house, and seated by the evening stand, they say: "Well, our family is no larger now than when we started together forty years ago." But time goes still further by, and some of the children are unfortunate, and return to the old homestead to live, and the grandchildren come with them, and perhaps great-grandchildren,and again the house is full. Millennia ago God built on the bills of heaven a great homestead for a family innumerable, yet to be. At first he lived alone in that great house, but after awhile it was occupied by a very large family, cherubic, seraphic, angelic. The eternities passed on, and many of the inhabitants became wayward and left, never to return, and many of the apartments were vacated. I refer to the fallen angels. Now these apartments are filling up again. There are arrivals at the old homestead of God's children every day, and the day will come when there will be no unoccupied room in all the house. As you and I expect to enter it and make there eternal residence, I thought you would like to get some more particulars about the many-roomed homestead. "In my Father's house are many rooms." You see, the place is to be apportioned off into apartments. We shall love all who are in heaven, but there are some very good people whom we would not want to live with in the same room. They may be better than we are, but they are of a divergent temperament We would like to meet with them on the golden streets, and worship with them in the temple, and walk with them on the river banks, but I am glad to say that we shall live in different apartments. "In my Father's house are many rooms." You see, heaven will be so large that if one wants an entire room to himself or herself, it can be afforded. An ingenious statistician, taking the statement made in Revelation, twentyfirst chapter, that the heavenly Jerusalem was measured and found to be twelve thousand furlongs, and that the length and height and breadth of it are equal,says that would make heaven In sire 948 sextlllion, 988 quintillion cubic feet; and then reserving a certain portion for the court of heaven and the streets, and estimating that the world may last a hundred thousand years, he ciphers out that there are over five trillion rooms, each room seventeen feet long, sixteen feet wide, fifteen feet high. But I have no faith in the accuracy ©f that calculation. He makes the rooms too small. From all I can read, the rooms will be palatial, and those who have not had enough room in this world will have plenty of room at the last The fact is, that most people in this world are crowded, and though out on a vast prairie or in a mountain district people may have more room than they want, In most eases it la house built close to house, and the streets are crowded* and the cradle is crowded by other cradles, and the graves crowded in the cemetery by ether graves, and one of the richest U z o i i e s of many people in getting out of this world will be the gaining of unhindered and uncramped room. And I should not wonder if, instead of the room that the statistician ciphered out as only seventeen feet by sixteen, It should be larger than any of the rooms at Berlin, St. James, or Winter Palace. "In my Father's house are many rooms." Carrying out still further the symbolism of the text, let us join hands and go up to this majestic homestead and see for ourselves. As we ascend the golden steps an invisible guardsman swings open the front door, and we are ushered to the right into the reception room of the old homestead. That is the place where we first meet the welcome of heaven. There must be a place where the departed spirit enters and a place in which it confronts the Inhabitants celestial. The reception room of the newly arrived from this world—what scenes it must have witnessed since the first guest arrived, the victim of the first fratricide, pious Abel! In that room Christ lovingly greets all new-comers. He redeemed them, and he has the right to the first embrace on arrival. What a minute when the ascended spirit first sees the Lord! Better than all we ever read about him, or talked about him, or sang about him in all the churches and through all our earthly lifetimes, will it be, just for one second to see him. The most rapturous Idea we ever had of him on sacramental days or at the height of some great revival, or under the uplifted baton of an oratorio are a bankruptcy of thought compared with the first flash of his appearance in that reception room. At that moment when you confront each other, Christ looking upon you, and you looking upon Christ,there will be an ecstatic thrill and surging of emotion that beggars all description. Look! They need no introduction. Long ago Christ chose that repentant sinner, and that repentant sinner chose Christ. Mightiest moment of an immortal history—-the first kiss of heaven? Jesus and the soul. The soul and Jesus. But now into that reception room pour the glorified kinsfolk. Enough of earthly retention to let you know them, but without their wounds or their sickness or their troubles. See what heaven has done for them! So radiant, so gleeful, so transportingly lovely! They call you by name; they greet you with an ardor proportioned to the anguish of your parting and the length of your separation. Father! Mother! That is your child. Sisters! Brothers! Friends! I wish you joy. For years apart, together again in the reception room of the old Homestead. You see, they will know you are coming. There are so many immortals filling all the spaces between here and heaven that news like that files like lightning. They will be there in an instant, though they were in some other world on errand from God, a signal would be thrown that would-fetch them. Though you might at first feel dazed and overawed at their supernal splendor, all that feeling will be gone at their first touch of heavenly salutation, and we will say, "Oh, my lost boy!" "Oh, my lost companion!" "Oh, my lost friend, are we here together?" What scenes in that reception room of the old homestead have been witnessed! There met Joseph and Jacob, finding it a brighter room than anything they saw in Pharaoh's palace; David and the little child for whom he once fasted and wept; Mary and Lazarus after the heartbreak of Bethany; Timothy and grandmother Lois; Isabella Graham and her sailor son; Alfred and George Cookman, the mystery of the sea at last made manifest; Luther and Magdalene, the daughter he bemoaned; John Howard and the prisoners whom he gospelized; and multitudes without number who, once so weary and so sad, parted on earth but gloriously met in heaven. Among all the rooms of that house there is no one that more enraptures my soul ihan that reception room. "In my Father's house are many rooms." Another room in our Father's house is the music room. S t John and other Bible-writers talk so much about the music ol heaven that there must be music there, perhaps not such as on earth was thrummed from trembling string or evoked by touch of ivory key, but if not that, then something better. There are so many Christian harpists and Christian composers and Christian organists and Christian choristers and Christian hymnologists that have gone up from earth, there must be for them some place of especial delectation. Shall we have music in thie world of discords, and no music in the land of complete harmony? I cannot give you the notes of the first bar of the new song that is sung in heaven. I cannot imagine either the solo or the doxology. But heaven means music, and can mean nothing else. Occasionally that muste has escaped the gats. Dr. Fuller, dying at Beaufort, S. C, said: "Do you not hear?" "Hear what?" exclaimed the bystanders. "The music! Lift me up! Open the windows?" In that music room of our Father's house, you will some day meet the old masters, Mosart and Handel and Mendelssohn and Beethoven and Doddridge, whose sacred poetry was as remarkable aa I his sacred prose; and James Montgomery, and William Cowper, at last got rid of his spiritual melancholy; and Bishop Heber, who sang of "Greenland's icy mountains and India's coral strand;" and Dr. Raffles, who wrote of "High in yonder realms of light;" and Isaac Watts, who went to visit Sir Thomas Abney and wife for a week, but proved himself so agreeable a guest that they made him stay thirty-six yeare; and side by side Augustus Toplady, who has got over his dislikes for Methodists, and Charles Wesley, freed from his dislike for Calvintets; and George W. Bethune, as sweet as a song maker as he was great as a preacher and the author of The Village Hymns; and many who wrote In verse or song, in church or by eventide cradle; and many who were passionately fond of music but could make none themselves. The poorest singer there more than any earthly prima donna, and the poorest players there more than any earthly Gottechalk. Oh, that music room, the headquarters of cadence and rhythm, symphony and chant, psalm and antiphon! Another room in our Father's house will be the family room. It may correspond somewhat with the family room on earth. At morning and evening, you know, that Is the place we now meet. Though every member of the household have a separate room, in the family room they all gather, and joys and sorrows and experiences of all styles are there rehearsed. Sacred room in all our dwellings! whether it be luxurious with ottomans and divans, and books in Russian lids standing in mahogany case, or there be only a few plain chairs and a cradle. So the family room on high will be the place where the kins-folk assemble and talk over the family experiences of earth, the weddings the births, the burials, the festal days of Christmas and Thanksgiving reunion. Will the children departed remain children there? Will the aged remain aged there? Oh no; everything is perfect there. The child will go ahead to glorified maturity, and the aged will go back to glorified maturity. The rising sun of the one will rise to menuian, and the descending sun of the other will return to meridian. However much we love our children on earth we would consider it a domestic disaster if they stayed children, and so we rejoice at their growth here. And when we meet in the family room of our Father's house, we will be glad that they have grandly and gloriously matured; while our parents, who were aged and infirm here, we shall be glad to find restored to the most agile and vigorous immortality there. If forty or forty-five or fifty years be the apex of physical and mental life on earth, then the heavenly childhood will advance to that, and the heavenly old age will retreat to that. When we Join them in that family room we shall have much to tell them. We shall want to know of, them, right away, such things as these: Did you see us in this or that or th« other struggle? Did you know when we loBt our property, and sympathize with us? Did you know we had that awful sickness? Were you hovering anywhere around us when we plunged Into that memorable accident? Did you know of our backsliding? Did you know of that moral victory? w^ere you pleased when we started for heaven? Did you celebrate the hour of our conversion? And then, whether they know it or not, we will tell them all. But they will have more to tell us than we to tell them. Ten years on earth may be very eventful, but what must be the biography of ten years in heaven? They will have to tell ue the story of coronations, story of news from all Immensity, story of conquerors and hierarchs, story of wrecked or ransomed planets, story of angelic victory over diabolic revolts, of extinguished suns, of obliterated constellations, of new galaxies kindled and swung, of stranded comets, of worlds on fire, and story of Jehovah's majestic reign. If in that family room of our Father's house we have so much to tell them of what we have passed through since we parted, how much more thrilling and arousing that which they have to tell us of what they have passed through since we parted. Surely that family room will be one of the most favored rooms in all our Father's house. What long lingering there, for we shall never again be in a hurry! 'Let me open a window," said an humble Christian self up in a dark room, and refused of the death ot her child, had shut herservant to Lady Raffles, who, because to see anyone. "You have been many days In this dark room. Are you not ashamed to grieve in this manner, when you ought to be thanking God for having given you the most beautiful child that ever was seen, and instead of leaving him in this world till he should he worn with trouble, has not God taken him to heaven in all his beauty! Leave off weeping, and let me open a window." So today I am trying to open upon the darkness of earthly separation tho windows and doors and rooms o> the heavenly homestead.

RELIABLE AND INTERESTING. Something of the Hardships of War From a Mew Point of View—Philadelphia Oltlaens Protest Against the Liberty Bell Going on Jacketing Trips. Serious News From Japan. Advices received by the- Oriental Steamship St. Irene indicate that the Japanese government is taking a great interest in the South African war. Upon the recommendation of the general staff of the Japanese army, an officer will be sent to the scene of hostilities for the purpose of gaining a practical knowledge of the strength and tactics of the Boer army. This move on the part of the -Japanese, according to the Kobe Chronicle, is indispensable for the reason that Japan may be forced to rely upon the assistance of the British army at a distant date. The Rubin minister hr^ecml has created con* siderable stir in the diplomatic circles of Japan by making a demand to have the spheres ot influence of the respective powers in Korea defined and has made a proposition to this effect to the ministers of various powers, through Germany's representative! Japan strongly opposes the movement and it is claimed in official circles that Russia has evolved a plan to counteract Japan's iufluence in Korea. Legs Bapplled t o »7 Soldiers. The government is engaged in the artificial limb business on a large scale, being under obligation to furnish these helps to every soldier who loses leg or arm in the service. During the last fiscal year there were provided by Surgeon- General Sternberg 27 artifical legs, four arms, one foot and 149 other appliances for disabled soldiers, including the fitting of 1,088 trusses. Providence hospital treated during the year 1,358 soldiers, and the hospital at Hot Springs, Ark., 187. These figures show something of the hardships of war service from a new point of view. The number of medical officers in the army at the breaking out ot the Spanish war was 192. On the 30th ot last June there were 393 assistant surgeons, 95 from civil life. During the Spanish war, and up to July 31, this year, 1,563 female nurses were employed by the government. About 'iOO are now in the service. The Liberty BelL The city of Philadelphia is becoming weary of repeated requests to send the old liberty bell junketing across the country from one point to another, to help in the observance of this, that or the other day, and there are signs that the end is in sight of this kind of performance. The latest request comes from Boston, which thinks it cannot properly observe the 125th anniversity of the battle of Bunker Hill without having the old liberty bell on hand. The liberty bell is by all odds the most precious relic of the republic, and if the practice of sending it hither and thither on the request of cities and program commitees is to be indulged in without restraint, there will come a day when the bell will be destroyed. 3 0 0 Killed or W o u n d e d In Venezuela. Gen. Paredes, a former commander in the army of ex-President Andrade. who had refused the demand made upon him by Gen. Cipriano Castro and the de facto authorities to surrender the town of Porto Cabello, Venezuela, even when this was reinforced by the request of the British, the French, German and Dutch commanders, surrendered on the morning of the 12th. The aspect of the city is one of ruin and devastation and it is estimated that upwards of 300 persons were killed and wounded during the fight. Dr. Braisted, of the United States cruiser Detroit, and the other surgeons of the various warships in the harbor,, are ministering to the wants' of the wounded. Fire on the Ocean. The Hamburg-American steamer Patria, which left New York, Nov. 4, for Hamburg, was destroyed by fire on the 14th while at sea. All the passengers were rescued and taken to Dover. The Russian steamer Ceres sighted the Pa* tria, showing signals of distress and demanding immediate help, about 12 mi lea from North Hinder lightship. Putting on full steam, the Ceres soon reached the Patria and sending a boat learned that Capt. Prohlich was in urgent need of assistance. The boats were got out and with great difficulty all the Patrja's passengers, numbering 150, were transferred to the Ceres, which proceeded for Dover, where she arrived just before midnight. Hawaiian School System. The active encouragement of education in our new colonial possessions is urged, and the present educational system in Hawaii commended in the annual report of the commissioner of education for the fiscal year just closed. The Hawaiian school system is described as remarkable for its completeness, and it is pointed out that out of a w u «* »09,030 in 1896, the WAR NOTES. The landing of American troops at San Fabian recently was the most spectacular- affair of the kind ainos Gen. Shafter's disembarkation at Balqoira. The co-operation of the troops And the navy was complete. The gunboats maintained a terrific bombardment for an hour, while the troops rushed waistdeep through the surf, under a heavy but badly aimed rifle fire from the insurgent trenches, and charged right and left, pouring volley after volley at the fleeing rebels. Forty Filipinos were captured, mostly non-commissioned officers. Several dead and five wounded insurgents were found in a building which had suffered considerably from the bombardment. The town" was well fortified. The sand dunes were riveted with bamboo 20 feet thick, which afforded a fine cover. A special from Washington says that on behalf of Admiral Dewey and his officers and men, Washington attorneys have asked the court of claims to find that the amount of bounty money due them is $382,800. The decision of the court will establish a precedent which will effect the amount of bounty to be distributed among the officers and men of the North Atlantic fleet, which destroyed the squadron of Admiral Cervera. If the finding ot the court is in accordance with the request Admiral Dewey's share of the bounty will be 819,194. Mail advices received at the war department show that the Filipino insurgents have adopted a new method of interference with the military telegraph system. This is done by attaching a fine copper wire to the line, running it down the pole or through the foliage of a tree to the ground, where it is attached to a piece of iron driven into the earth. This effectively cuts off communication and is not easily discovered when once accomplished. The transport Siam, with 400 horses for service in the Philippines, ran into a typhoon on Sept. 17, losing three horses. On Oct. 1 another typhoon was encountered near Guam island which was very severe, the boat being blown 1,000 miles out of her course. The storm lasted four days and 350 horses were killed. Thousands of sharks followed the vessel, being attracted by the stench and the possibilities of a feast. Gens. MacArthur, Lawton and Wheaton, who have been engaged in trying to trap Aguinaldo, were again given the slip, according to the following: Col. Bell's regiment and a small force of cavalry entered Tarlac, the supposed headquarters of Aguinaldo, on the 12th, without opposition. Where he and his army and the so-called government has fled is a mystery. Lieut. Johnson with troop M, 3d cavalry, captured 12 barrels containing the wardrobe of Aguinaldo's wife, some personal effects, the records of the secretary of war and much commissary and medical supplies at San Nicholas on the 15th. Senora Aguinaldo probably escaped over the divide, but the secretary of war is thought to be inside the lines. During the engagement near San Jacinto on Nov. 12, Maj. John A. Logan, while leading his battalion in action, was killed. He was a son of the late Gen. John A. Logan, of Illinois. A widow, two children and his mother survive him. His wife and children are at present residing at Youngstown, 0. " According to the annual report of the paymaster-general, it cost $13,983,- 174 to maintain in commission the ships in active service in the navy last year. For construction of ships and purchase of ready-built ships $9,964,456 was expended, while $6,754,974 was absorbed in repairs to ships. A dispatch from Manila says seven Americans were killed and 15 wounded in Gen. Wheaton's attack on the town of Salinda, on the 14th, which was stubbornly defended. After a heavy fire the Americans charged and stormed the works. Seventy-seven dead Filipinos were counted in the trenches. Aguinaldo's secretary and nearly half a battalion of 400 bolomen, together with a large amount of insurgent property was captured by Col. Hayes in the vicinity of Carranglan on the 13th. The party were engaged in transporting- Aguinaldo's property over the mountains when captured. During Gen. MacArthur's advance on the 12th he overtook a large number of deserters of the enemy, who turned over to him some 30 rifles, and reported that the insurgents in that section were short of provisions The U. S. cruiser Charleston, which had been patrolling the northern coast of Luzon, was wrecked on a reef off the northwest coast on Nov. 7. All on board were saved. The 43d U. S. infantry regiment, 1,350 men, embarked on the Meade at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., on the 14th for Manila. The Logan will sail on the 20th, carrying the 41st infantry. :ee for SaMtara. Christm&^boxes for soldiers in Cuba and PortoyRico must not weigh over 20 pounds apiece and must be delivered to Maj. F. B. Jones, Pier 22, Columbia Stores, Brooklyn, prior to Dec. 15. These boxes will go south oa the government army transports tree and will be delivered to the soldiers through the transportation facilities of the eommis* sariat. A WOMAN HELPS WOMEN THERE are women everywhere who suffer almost stoutly because they cannot bring themselves to toll «11 about their ills to * physiciaa. Such women can surely explaim their sjmptsjfns and their suffering by letter to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for the confidence reposed in her has never been violated. Over a million women have been helped by her advice and medicine. Mrs. Pinkham in attending to her vast correspondence is assisted by women only. II you are ill, don't delay. Her reply will cost you nothing and it will be a practical help as it was to Miss ELLA E. BRENNER, East Rochester, Ohio, who says: "I shrunk from the ordeal of examination by bur physician, yet I knew I must have treatment My troubles were backache, nervous tired feeling, painful menstruation and leucorrhcea. I am so grateful to you now that I am willing to have my name published to help other girls to take their troubles to you. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound used as you wrote me has made me entirely well and very happy. I shall bless you as long as I live." Mrs. Pinkham receives thousands of such letters from grateful women. Miss NELLIE RUSSELL, of 138 Grace St., Pittsburg, Pa., in a letter to Mrs. Pinkham says: «* From childhood I suffered from kidney trouble and as I grew older my troubles increased having intense pain running from my waist to my womb and the menses were very painful. One day, seeing your advertisement in one of our papers, I wrote to you. "When your reply came I began taking your Compound and followed your advice and am now in perfect health, and would advise any lady rich or poor to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which I can praise above all other remedies. It is a wonderful help to women." _ . -A- 2 5 o S-A^g3»X-£J B O T T L E F O R l O e .

No reason is given in the letter why the deed was done. When found, Frank w a s just breathing his last. It is t h o u g h t that insanity was the cause of the tragedy, for Frank had been under a doctor's care for some time for this complaint.

But, long after I was well, Meg continued to stay on with me. "You have nicer dinners than we have at home," she would confess with sweetest candor, "and your chairs are softer. And I feel that I am doing an act of benevolence in staying. I save you and J o h n from eternal tete-a-tete. Now confess, Kitty, t h a t you are duly grateful." I was silent. "Silence means confession," Meg declared. She stayed through almost all November with us. Whenever she spoke of going J o h n gravely Interposed a n d begged h e r to r e m a i n ; a n d she remained willingly. Sometimes I wished ungratefully t h a t s h e would go and leave me alone; but J o h n seemed to have more fear than I of those tete-at e t e talks from wfylch she Baved us. Yet, one day, it struck me that John, too, was growing tired of her long visit. Meg was late in coming down s t a i r s ; he and I were alone for a minute at breakfast. He held his paper, b u t he was not reading it; presently h e put it down. Glancing across at him, I was pained to see how worried and anxious he was looking. "Meg is staying all this week, K i t t y ? " he asked me suddenly as he caught my questioning glance. " Y J u asked her to stay, J o h n . " "Yes, I know," he said; and he took t p his paper again with a little sigh, "I think not," said John. "Tell me whose it is." "I am very sorry. I cannot tell you. It is a private correspondent." Meg said no more. She relinquished the letter meekly, and John took it unopened into his study and did not appear again. C H A P T E R XIV. It was a cold, boisterous day, but 1 had shopping to do, a n d was out alone all the afternoon. I came in to find Meg sitting pensively before the fire, her hair untidy, her morning dress unchanged, her elbows on her knees, her chin on hei hands. She was looking before her into t h e fire with a faraway gaze, and started when I entered the room; she looked round at me, her eyes laughing, and yet with something of mingled melancholy„in their depths. " W h y , what are you doing, Meg?" I asked. "Thinking, dear—an uncommon thing," answered s h e ; and she shook back her fair, rippling, pretty hair, and seemed as though she would shake away her thoughts with t h e same impatient gesture. "I've seen a ghost," she said. " T h e vision has been haunting me all day. Don't I look like it? I've »een the ghost of an old love, Kitty." ShL spoke lightly, scoffrngly, and yet there vvas an undercurrent of deeper meaning in her tone. I knelt down upon t h e rug beside her chair, und she put her elbows once more upon her knees and her chin upon her hands, and again looked musingly into the fire before her. "You didn't know I had an old love?" she said, still in a scoffing tone. "You didn't knov< that I went about the world with tfce smallest possible fraction of a heart, did you, K i t t y ? I DON'T S E E WHY I SHOULDN'T T E L L YOU. a n d it again struck me t h a t he did not read It. Meg came down stairs, gaily h u m - m i n g a s s h e came. As she passed t h r o u g h t h e hall t h e postman arrived, a n d she brought in t h e letters, looking carefully in a perfectly open way a t each one. Suddenly the smile faded from her face; she glanced quickly p.t J o h n with a half-questioning, halfstartled look. J o h n rot;; and p u t out his hand to t a k e t h e letters. H e was more eager t h a n usual t o obtain them. Meg gave t h e m to him slowly, one by one. "Only three;" she said. "One from Madame A m a u d . One from a person w h o ought t o go back to copy-books—" J o h n took t h e letters she held out t o h i m . She bdll retained the third. "Let me haye t h e qther, Meg," h e •aid in a tone of tired forbearan.ee. She p u t t h e letter down upon t h e table, but s h e was stjll holding it. "Whose, writing Is t h a t ? " she asked. J o h n ' s face puttied me. H e was evidently striving against a sharp, imp a t i e n t answer. H e was anxious to obtain possession of t h e letter, a n d a n x i o u s t h a t Meg should not any longer examine it. Meg, too, was g r a v e r t h a n her w o n t a s she stood looking doubtfully, first a t him,, then again a t the handwriting on t h e envelop*. ,, "I know t h a t writing," she said half- 4efiantly. On the whole, I got on very well. One enjoys the world better without a heart than with one, I think. Pretty bonnets are more satisfactory t h a n lovers." "Meg," I said, looking closely and curiously at her, " I don't understand you—I don't understand a bit what you are meaning." "Nor I," said Meg, with an odd little laugh that was half a sigh. "A person who has seen a ghost may be allowed to be half-witted for half a day. I saw a ghost at breakfast-time this morning. I took it in from t h e postman a t the door. It is residing now in John's study, I suppose. And, if it were not for an old-fashioned idea of honor, I would go and rifle J o h n ' s study and try to find it." "Are you talking about the letters, Meg. that you took this morning?" "Oh, wise Kitty! About one of those letters. Yes." I looked at her in perplexity. F o r many minutes sh« did not speak again. "I have a score of love-letters all in t h a t same handwriting," she said, a t last, turning her head to smile a t me— "the only love letters I ever had, or ever shall have. Preserve me from having any more." She clasped her hands behind h e r head.and laughed. "It was such a foolish affair, s o childish, so silly," she added, with a lingering regret in her scornful tone. I thought I ha-1 forgotten all about it** •"fell xh- about It, Meg." "Tell you about it, Kitty? T h a n * you, dear, I would r a t h e r not." I did not urge her any further. W i t h h e r hands clasped behind her head, she s a t looking before her. Presently she turned and looked musingly a t me. "I don't see w h y I shouldn't tell you," she Baid. " I t may amuse you. Poor little Kitty! Life is dull enough for you; you want a glimpse of comedy now and then to make you smile. Well, smile a t this. When I was sixteen, Kitty, I lost my heart. I had a lover—my only lover—laugh, dear.'1 "I don't want to laugh, Meg." "Don't you? Is t h e story so tragic? I assure you it's comic, too. I used to play t r u a n t from school in order to go for walks with him. W a s t h a t coaiic or tragic or only improper?" " W h o was he, Meg?"- "His name doesn't matter, dear. He, a t all events, thought t h a t it didn't matter. He called himself Arthur Leslie. I found out afterwards t h a t t h e rest of the world called h i m A r t h u r St. J o h n . " " T h a t was Madame Arnaud's name," I said vaguely. "He was related in some way, I think, to Madame Arnaud. It was from him that I first heard of her; we were talking about the theater, and he told me her story, though n o t quite as 1 have heard it since. I don't know w h y I am telling you all this. I don't know w h y I a m thinking of it. I ought t o be ashamed to remember such a silly episode. I used t o write letters on pages of my exercise-books a n d leave them for him a t a pastry cook's. H e used to leave his letters for me every day at the same place, and a young lady with golden ringlets would h a n d them to me with an acidulated smile. The same young lady Is at the same pastry cook's still. I never go through t h a t street—" Meg's lips were trembling a little though her eyes were laughing a t me. "How long is thifl a g o ? " I asked. "Oh, a century ago! When I waj sixteen, nearly four years ago." "And no one k n e w ? " " N o one. Onl.v the golden hairert lady who sold ue ,'am-puffs and lemonade and ices." . "And was he as young as you"*"* Meg smiled. "No, not as young a s I," she said drily. He must have left school t e a years before. H e had left college. H e had left tht» bar—I t h i n k perhaps he h a d left hal? a dozen other professions which he never mentioned. Oh, y t s , Kitty, he was in every way a hero, old enough, tall enough, dark enough, wicked enough, I dare s a y ! " 'You were in love with him, Meg?" "I thought I was, dear. One can imagine most things when one is sixteen, or a little over." "How did it end, Meg?" " I t didn't end. He left a note one day with the golden haired lady, asking me to go for a walk with him by the Serpentine. I left a note in answer to say t h a t I would come. I went; but he forgot the appointment. He never wrote to me any more. I have not seen him or heard of him from that time to this. I have often been very glad." It was hard to know what to s a s . I sat looking at her thoughtfully. "The letter t h a t came for John this morning was from h i m ? " I asked. "Yes—I am sure of it," said Meg. She ro£e from her seat, h u m m i n g a scrap of a song. "I shall go and dress now," she said. "When one tells one's love stories one should always tell them in picturesque dishabille. Did I lock sufficiently lovelorn? Did I amuse STOL\ Kitty? Well, I a m tired of looking ugly; I shall go and dress." She went away, still humming, up the stairs, and I sat reflecting on all t h a t she had said. W a s Meg laughing, or was she in earnest. I did not know. So deep was I in thought that J did not hear t h e door open, did nefc hear J o h n enter. " K i t t y , " he said in a quick tone, less calm and steady than was his wont, " I want t o speak to you. Come into the study with me; I w a n t to speak to you alone." "Meg has gone upstairs." I observed, rising obediently, however to follow him. He closed t h e study door behind us, and drew forward a chair toward the fire for me. It was weeks since 2 h a d s a t alone thus in J o h n ' s study with him. I looked around t h e room. It somehow looked more dreary t h a n it h a d been wont t o look. The dust lay thickly on the chimney piece and writing table; there were no flowers anywhere; the hearth looked dirty; the fire burnt dull and low, and John himself had changed since I had sat there with him last. H e looked sadder, older. "Kitty," he said, standing before me, one elbow on t h e chimney-piece, a n d looking down a t me. "I a m going t o entrust you with an important secret." H e waited. I looked gravely a t him, a * 4 414 not answer. **I toel sure that I can t r u s t yon." "Tea," I replied simply, "you can t r u s t m e . " (To fce continued.) I R A N o V A A L WAR I T E M S .

It was the dullest time for tne east-bound cars, and at the moment our friend took his seat he was nor only passenger.

At Stone street a pretty and wellgowned youne woman was the only contribution worn the shopping district As soon as she entered the car oar Van Wyck acquaintance arose, raised his hat with utmost politeness. and said: "Please take my seat, madam." Apparently she did not know whether to be frightened or amused, but, being a sensible young woman, concluded to be amused. "Oh, no, really it isn't necessary." she said, with a bright smile. "But I must insist," said tfae Van Wyck Jag. "I wouldn't think of keeping my seat In the car while a young lady stood." Looking over the shoulder of her polite Interlocutor In some dismay, she caught the eye of the banker, who nodded encouragingly. Thereupon she changed her tone and said: "Oh, yes, thank yon so much; I will take the seat," which she proceeded to do.

Let no one think that a body of roan will band themselves j A large company was welcomed together and invest their money at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Mariou and Anderson Farmers Club Held Oue at the Home of A. A. Stowe, Marlon. ' Large Croud and Profitable Meeting. On Thursday of last week <the Anderson and Marion farmers clubs met in joint meeting at the home of A. A. Stowe, in Marion, and enjoyed a v'ery pleasant and profitable afternoon. The meeting was called to order by the president of Marion club, Walter A. Clark, and singing by the club, followed by prayer by A. G. Blood. Secretary's report was read and approved. Mrs. H. W. Norton and Mrs. F. Backus were elected as delegates to the state convention. The club then listened to a paper "Successful Farmers" by Wirt Barton which was excellent. He said: very few understood or study farming, as they should, and there is no buisness than more careful study; the farmer should study as well as the profeaional man. He once heard a farmer say "that he believed in education unless his children were to be farmers when all such study was wasted." He further said that a successful farmer would be known by his surroundings; his stock, buildings, tools, etc., will be well cared for, and the farmer will be found taking an interest in club meetings and farmer's institutes. Thefcpaper was so well written that no one cared to discuss it. Then the club listened to a fine instrumental solo by Mies Josephine Harris; this was followed by a most interesting and carefully prepared (paper "Extracts from letters from the Klondyke." These letters were written by C. B. Smith of Alaska and arranged by Mrs. W. Carlin, and proved very entertaining, and will be published in the DISPATCH in full begining with the first week in December. "The Object of the Trusts" was an excellent paper by Lucius Wilson in which he said that the trust differ from the trusts of ten years ago, principally in the method of organization. The trusts of the past were pools; the managers, met and arranged a schedule of prices but none were bound to them and in a short time the pool was at an end. The trusts of today have been, and are being built differently. They are incorporated under state and national laws and have met all attempts to dislodge them by means of "anti trust" legislation. There were more trusts formed from '92 to '96 than than during the four years before and from '96 to '99 still more than ever; articles manafactured by trusts have invarably advanced in expressely for the benefit of the public, especially when their actions are so much at variance with their PROFESSED desire for the public good.

Division [The Old Reliable] two new Buffet Parlor Cars. These cars were built at the G. T. Shops at Ft. Gratiot, and for comfort and elegance are unequaled in the state. The entire finish of the inside of the car ia in mahogany; the car has fourteen chairs two sofas with seating capacity of four each. The chairs and sofas are finished in very rich maroor mohair plush; the floor is covered with very heavy rich Wilton Carpet, and the car is lighted with six Acme lamps; on each end of the car are two very large bevelled mirrors. The Lamberquins at the windows are of a heavy green damask. The smoking room is something that will be appreciated by smokers. It has two wicker arm chairs covered with red plush, and a large sofa accommodating four people. This gives six seats to that portion of the car. The Buffet is a marvel the bill of fare generous and the charges moderate; passengers can get anything from a cup of coffee to something more substantial at a moderate charge. The cars are run on train No. 19 leaving Detroit at 7 A. M., and on train No. 17 leaving Detroit at 4.05 P. M. F rom the West these cars leave Grand Rapids on No. 12 6.45 A.

Doctors were scarce, and they seldom herd of Appedicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. Alias Addie Kice then entertained the company with a vocal solo, after which John Chambers read a paper on "Cooperation." which in his judgement was of great importance The millions of agriculturists of the U. S. should cooperate for their own interests both fiancial and social, also for their influence in legislative halls They should be united for free rural mail delivery. He also touched upon the trusts. The discussion was opened by Grover Lambertsou who thought free rural mail delivery would enable the farmer to keep up with the times. H. F. Kice was in sympathy with the paper all but the trust. G. W. Teeple:—bitterly opposed to trusts; as to cooperation it builds a nation up, but trusts destroys. Free rural mail delivery would demand better roads. E. J. McCluskey would like to know how better roads can be made with the material one has to wcrk with and the time allotted. Mi. Teeple:—make every man put in the full time the law requires, Draw gravel from somewhere if it is several miles. Chas. Campbell knew it paid to draw gravel three and four miles; and when you build build good as far as you go. H. G. Briggs said, sandy roads should be clayed then graveled. Road scrapers were n o good when they heaped the roads so high in the center. R. W. Lake thought that road scrapers were all right in their place. 8.

Depew. Once t h e y were friends. To-day Mr. Depew looks upon the Buffalo man with c o n t e m p t The manner of their estrangement is rather interesting. Of course, It happened at a dinner. Dinnera are responsible for nearly all things that happen to Chauncey. Mr. Depew had been called upon for a speech and he responded by telling a story. "Senator Evarts," said the great raconteur, "bought a farm up In Vermont recently and took his family there to spend the summer. Mr. E v - arts managed to visit the folks about once a week, but business made It necessary for him to live in New York. Among the appurtenances appertaining to tbe farm was a donkey, which soon became a great pet with the young folks. "Not long ago Mr. Evarts w a s startled by the receipt of a telegram from home. Tt w a s from his y o u n g e i t daughter. 'Dear papa,' she said, 'something alls the donkey. I'm afraid he la sick. H e keeps h e e - h a w i n g all t h e time and seems to be very lonesome. PleaRe come home.' " After the laughter which followed Mr. Depew's recital had subsided the Buffalo man got up and said: "That, a s Abraham Lincoln used t o nay, reminds me of a story which I heard some years ago. Senator Evarta had bought a farm down in Vermont and took his family there to spend the summer. Among the appurtenance* appertaining to the place was a donkey, which soon became a great pet " The guests smiled broadly as he began, and when he had finished the name story that had been told by Mr. and declared But Chauncey, according to the statement of o n e who related the Incident, felt that he had been insulted, and when he was reminded that the Buffalo man was a s deaf as a post and hadn't heard a word that had been said the pentleman w h o has been chosen to help represent N e w York in the Senate only seemed to feel more aggrieved. The Buffalo man had no business to he deaf, and t h a t Is w h y he and Mr. Depew can never be friends again. Depew they applauded that It w a s * good Joke.

He came near having some military experience once, he says. General Custer and his troops every spring and fall passed by the Western town where he lived. They spent the winters in Louisiana, and their s u m m e r s in the Black Hills. When JyWas thirteen years old, these troops camped about thirteen miles from my home, and word went about that General Custer wanted a boy to enlist as a drummer. I w a s j u s t about the proper age, and I longed t o go. I knew a little bit about beating a drum, so I asked my father to allow me to enlist. "Yes." he said, dryly, "if you want to." . I made some little preparations, such as I thought necessary, and then went to m y father to get him to take me to General Custer. He looked at me a moment, and then said, severely: "When T said you m i g h t etUist, I thought, you had sense enough But since you have not so much, a s I thought, you are not fit to enffat" So 1 did not join the army after all. frOTICK.

Money talks, but it converses wlta only the few. Clam chowder 13 often productive of the deepest melancholy. The sleeping infant should always be placed on the retired list. It sometimes happens that a man's opportunity is his misfortune. Good fortune seldom travels around in an automobile looking for you. A man's mind sometimes runs to the contrary—a woman's always does. It is considered a deadly insult to tell a Bostonian that he doesn't know beans. Some people go through life looking as if they were sorry they had ever started. It is easy enough to be economical •when you have plenty with which to economize. A married man would have more money if his pockets were as hard to find as ara those of his wife. An actress may be wedded to her art, but she usually acquires more than one husband during her career. The average man would be satisfied if he could only get the earth, but Alexander the Great wanted to get up a collection. "Tod" Sloan has now distinguished himself by thrashing two French jock- «ys with his walking stick. At any rate this is more reputable than French pugilism. The Boston Globe says that Laureate Alfred Austin Is struggling hard to earn his salary. It might be added that the public is struggling hard to resign itself to Mr. Austin's method'©' struggling. A recent expose of the brutal treatment of privates in the army of France by their officers gives new emphasis to the danger of arbitrary power. It is also reported that in Austria the custom of boxing the ears of soldiers and recruits has been so common and so violent that thousands o t them have suffered such impairment of their hearing as partly to unfit them for service. The minister of war has recently Issued a prohibitory order. A newspaper correspondent at Indianapolis telegraphs: Secretary Hurty of the state health board predicts that Indiana will have an epidemic of smallpox. "I do not see how it can be averted," said Dr. Hurty, "and it will cost Indiana thousands of dollars as well as many deaths. There is smallpox in the state, and it will spread from the small country to»*ns. The people do not know how to handle suspected cases in these small places. There should be no delay in handling a auspicious case, and if it turns out not to be smallpox no harm is done. This whole state could be vaccinated for less than $30,000, and that would sa\e it from a scourge that is otherwide sure to come." International arbitration is not so new an idea as some suppose. On six different occasions between 1837 and 1858 congress has entertained petitions and memorials on the subject from peace societies and bodies of citizens in New England, New York and Virginia. Even the czar's proposal for £. congress of nations in the interest of peace was anticipated by resolutions adopted by the legislature of Massachusetts, in 1844,. and similar action was taken by the legislature of Vermont in 1853. Dr. Franklin's ardent wish that the nations of the earth might find "some more reasonable method of settling disputes than by cutting each other's throats" must have been cherished by many friends of humanity long before his day. A short time ago two yaks were imported to Gothenburg, and were later teat to Stockholm, Sweden. The secretary of the Gothenburg Touring club recommends that yaks be imported into northern Sweden for use by the pioneer farmers, the long and cold winters being rather severe for ordinary cattle. It is declared that it would not be necessary to stall-feed the yak during winter; that the farmers would get a strong, hardy and tractable beast of burden, which also would supply milk of good quality, and which could find its way even through deep snow. It remains yet to be seen whether or not any one is willing to act upon the •oggestion. Dr. Sven Hedin, who dur- UigWn expeditions In central Asia has ted opportunities for studying the fak la 1U native land, thinks the ex- Mrlmeftt worth trying. UNCLE EZRA'S THANKSGIVING.

'Why, right/ says I. 'and it'll be a bard night for Merrlam.' *' 'Poor old man/ says Mrs. Jenks, a-wipin' of a tear. 'Poor old man, I suppose he'll be playing of his mandolin again.' 'That he will,' says I. "He hasn't missed it, as near as I can judge, for thirty -years. As cure as Thanksgiving night cornea, just so sure he gets out that old mandolin of his and tinkles away. And it's always the same tune. God! Hut it does make my mind go back. I'll nover forget the first time ho played it. You see, me and Merriara havo been together, off and on, so long that I know his story mos* as well as he does himself. Not that he ever talks aiiout it. To-night, after J.he show, that instrument '11 go back *o the bottom of his trunk, and it won't come out again till this time next year." The leading man was all ears. "Thirty years ago I was stage doorkeeper at the old California theater. Now, the stage doorman ain't so unimportant as some folks think. There's mighty little goes on that he don't know something about. He gets the flowers first, and he usually sees the cards. He's a good friend to the actor when the actor's a friend to him. and he can do a favor now and then that's worth the while. "Merriam was just beginning to climb up the ladder in those days. He had come into the stock three years before as utility, but lie was a handsome chap, with brains and ambition to back his good looks, and it wasn't long before he got to playing leads. Say, when Merriam went on as Romeo at the matinees you couldn't see three rows in front of you for the bonnet3. Mrs. JenUs used to live In a regular garden those days, for Merriam wouldn't have none of the flowers the silly girls used to send him. When I'd offer to bring them home to htm he'd laugh, and tell me he reckoned my wife cared more for flowers than he did. "But I often noticed that he came into the theater with a big bunch of violets or roses that he'd bought himself to give to the little woman who played opposite parts to him. I asked, him once why he didn't give her the flowers the girls sent bini, instead ot spending mpney that way. I took a kind of fatherly Interest fn Merriam in those days. Lord bless you, to loote at him now you'd think he was my grandfather. He looks that old. "Well, I seen how things was going with him and Nellie Moore, and everybody else seen it, too. When she was on the stage he stood in the wings, and his eyes followed every move she made. I remember one of the women saying that it was worth while to have a man care for you like that, and certainly Nellie seemed to. like it. She came to me one afternoon—that Thanksgiving I'm telling you about— and said that she was too tired to go home after the matinee. She asked me if I'd run across the way and order dinner for her. Then she whispered in my ear that she wanted It served for two, and asked if I couldn't fix a bunch light on the stago, so she and Merriam could have a cozy Thanksgiving dinner all alone. "Of course I done it for her, and while they were eatin' I went over to my boardin' house. There \va3 to bo showed- him *rhere to place his ftugers and kept humming the tune until he could play It with djity one or two break*. Theu she fyeht to her dressing room to get reader, and Merriam: sat there thrumming until the balX hour was called. "That night there was a good deal of hand-shaking, and the word went around that there was to bo a weddin' at Christmas. "The next night on my way to the theater I noticed a crowd around the stage door, and heard talk of a runaway. I hurried up, and as I did so Morriam came out, his face as white as a ghost's. " 'For God's sake, get a doctor, Jenks!' he cried. "I rushed to the nearest drug store, and, luckily, found one there. When we got back to the stage door Merriam was waiting, and, without a word, ho led us to a sofa in the wings on which Nellie Moore was lying. The doctor bent down over her for a mtriute, shook his head and said he was too late. "An understudy played Juliet that night and Merriam as usual was the Romeo. The audience didn't know the real reason for tho change, but in the tomb scene I don't see how they could help feeling it. "Thoso of us who saw it from the wings will never forget it. The women were in hysterics and the stage hand3 and flymen were nearly as bad. I don't know how Merriam ever lived through it, but this I do know. He was a different man from that night. Ho seemed to lose all his ambition and he withered up so, that when I met him at a rehearsal two years later, I hardly i n * .It ikittuum My Mother Had Consumption "My mother wis troubled with consumption for many years.

A. B. P. HIS THANKSGIVING. Tinkle-tinkle, tinkle-tinkle, tinkletinkle. The leading man engaged in an attempt to remove a black spot from his dress cravat by means of an application of white grease paint, paused and listened. "It's a mandolin," he said. 'That's a new wrinkle. We've had all kinds of fiends in this company since we-started out, everything from cfgarettes 10 bicycles. Who's the musician, I wander? Oh. I say, Jenks! Jenks! Who'* the band wagon?" There was a stelpTirthe narrow passageway that led to the dressing rooms, and Jenks. the property ,man, appeared in the doorway. "Sh!" he said, "not so loud. The old man'11 hear you." The leading man started. "The old man, did you say—not Merriam?" "Yes, Merriam," in a whisper. The leading man sat on his trunk. "That beats me," he caid. "The Ancient Mariner tinkling a mandolin. Now I'm prepared to see Father T'nae playing sentimental ditties on a Jew's harp." Jenks did not laugh, a fact which helped io sober the other man. "It's s o surprise to me," said the property man, gravely. "I says to Mrs. Jenks Just before I left the hotel, say,* L I WANT YOU TO LEARN IT, a change of bill that night, ao I can*5 back early to get my props In snipe, • a s I had them to attend to as well as looking after the door. When I camp back to the theater I heard Nellie Moore playin' a mandolin. The was always fond of music and carried the instrument around with her. " 'Now you try,' ehe said, and Merriam answered that he didn't know a note. " 'I'll teach you.' she said. There's an air I want you to learn and remember.' "'All right,' said Merriam, and he took the mandolin from her. She A CROWD AROUND THE STAGE DOOR. knew hira. He was heat much as you see him now, and was- playing character old men. Every year he dropped down further, until they wouldn't trust him with anything better than bits and servants. Tes, sir, and that old man has played Romeo with the best of them.'' U ) . The story was finished, but the mandolin still tinkled. The leading man's face -was drawn, and Jenks sat thinking. Perhaps the former was thinking ,ot his own high tide of prosperity, and of what tho future had In store ior him. -. But sympathy and curiosity are closely allied, and soon the two men were tiptoeing through the passageway. They paused before the old actor's room. A ray of light filtered through a crack in the thin pine door. Merriam was dressed and made up for a comedy servant. His gr6en livery coat hung on a peg on the wall, p.nd the red wig with which he covered his own white hair lay on the dressing table before him. There, too, was a faded photograph of a pure-faced girl in the dress of Juliet. The actor was bent over his mandolin and the leading man now caught the tune for the first time, broken, but recognizaVe.

" F i r ^ a c t ! All*p-for the first act!" The callboy came tumbling down the passage and the listeners hurried up to the stage. A few minutes later the callboy came up, too, and ho found the stage manager fuming. "Where's Merriam?" he cried. "I can't hold the curtain all night for that doddering old fool. Hurry him up, will you?" ' The boy.disappeared, and reappeared almost instantly. "Mr. Merriam's " The •.cars choked hie voice and he got no further. The stage manager made a rush fob the stairs. Ten minutes later he came up dressed for the comedy servant, but the man whose s a m e was down on the bills for the,, part lay in his dressing room clutching an old mandolin, with his eyes fixed on a faded photograph.

Sometime ago a brakeman on the Baltimore ft Ohio Railroad used his brains and saved a passenger train from running into two derailed ears. The Company sent him a check for $50 and posted a bulletin complimenting him for his quickness of thought A few days later, Engineer John Hagerty was oiling bis engine at Connellsville, while waiting for the passengers to alight He beard another train coming and believed that it was not under proper control He sprang into his cab, opened the throttle and started his train. The .other engine struck the rear car but it was not a hard blow and Hagerty's promptness saved ten or a dozen lives. The Company has ordered a handsome gold watch, suitably inscribed, and a gold chain for Engineer Hagerty, as a reward for his devotion to duty and "u^ing his Draiaa" in time of emergency.
