The Indian now, with a savage grasp on DoaJs throat, had pinioned him •.against the gunwale, and Don, unable to utter a sound, was fighting desperately With his hand for dear life. Then, as through a thick mist, he saw Utile's s.weet face near him, convulsed with anguish, and terrified officers rushing forward. A great lurch of the vessel, blotted. oxA the rest Locked in his antagonist's ruthless embrace, he felt jhimqelf. whirling* backwards into the boiling sea and the waters closing over him. Instantly the captain's voice came ringing Hut inqnlck command': "Senttys let £> the littfeM'oy! Bosun's -matej catf^waj the lifeboat tnyw!'?1 "**tshe Tealtzed The depth- ofTfiat love; Quick as the order, it was obeyed. The ^reat ship was swiftly hove to. But What «i£ony 0f..heart was every second of delay tb the paralyzed young bride! Officers and men had now gathered on the scene, scanning the choppy sea with telescopes and speaking in tense',' awed' tones as they watched the gallant cutter straining might and main tb reach those black specks which rose so often to the surface only to disappear. Lillle stood apart, speechless, almost sightless, in that wild endeavor to peer through the- gloom—of night, while the remorseless deep, was lit up with a spectral terror by the lurid light with which the lifebuoy was charged. Once the ship's surgeon went to her side and begged to take her below. She only shook her head. She was past speaking now. At la3t! at last! A thrill of excitement passed from lip to lip. The lookout man on the mizen-mast had descried the rescue of both the drowning men—alive or dead, who could tell? Impatience to know the worst was checked as the boat came alongside, in deference to the young wife, who stood in their midst waiting—waiting for what? She followed blindly as they bore Don's prostrate form to his cabin and laid him on his couch. The seaman was dead. Had Don, too, passed away across the -mystic ocean, whence the voynger no more returns? In the weird lamplight that still, unconscious face looked indeed as If it already bore the stamp of death; and, with a despair terrible in its calmness. Bhe turned from doctor to steward while they unfastened coat and vest and laid bare the ghastly wound and its streaming blod. "Tell me," she said, "is he dead?" Oh, what a whole history of pain and pathos,lay in that brief question! The doctor looked the sympathy he felt. He was a bluff, stoic Scotchman, inured to scenes of sorrow and suffering, but there was something in that pathetic picture of the strong young man struck down in his prime, and the lovely girl wife in her uncomplaining strength of endurance that touched him infinitely. "He is not dead," he answered. "Be assured I will do everything that is possible to save him," he added cheerily, as his busy fingers sped at his work. She stood aside in breathless excitement. "This is a nasty wound," he spoke at last;, "but fortunately the salt water has stanched the-bleeding. It is after effects I am more afraid of. I should like to get two trained nurses, who happen to be on board, to undertake the case.' 'They are'very -clever. • I could thoroughly rely on them." For an Instance there was tense silence. •>'• ••• "Could you not rely on'myself for one?" was the answer which faltered through her parched lips. "Are you strong enough?" he queried kindly. "If it is a matter of expense, I think you will find I will arrange——" She interrupted him with a little gesture almost of scorn. All her life she had Known nothing of the bitter-, ness fcof;^ovtrty, and now it seemed like a mockery to her to mention expense in conjunction with her love And DOB'S tyfe. "Spare nothing—nothing* that money can buy!" she spoke breathlessly. The doctor paused to take her slim wrist between his finger and thumb and calmly count her throbbing pulse. "We'll make a compromise," said he soothingly. "You shall relieve my nurses from duty now and then; but9 you must remember his life depends on constant care night and day. That settled the question definitely, and Lillla allowed herself to be led away to partake of a strong cup of tea and some refreshment to fit her for the long hours of watching which lay bofore her, for she insisted on the nurse not being summoned at least till morning, as the doctor himself meant* to be in close attendance on his patient at night. In his heart he deeply pitied the fair young bride, who evidently loved so deeply the stalwart bridegroom stricken down to the very gates of death. Yes, Lillie loved Don, even as she had never loved him till now. It was not until he lay before her thus, in the extremity of helplessness, till, pride and pity both forgotten, and nothing but infinite tenderness filling her soul, "strong as death," which, could forgive, even as Christ forgave, and rest on the atonement of the Redeemer alone. She watched by his pillow while the long night dragged on, and he still lay unconscious, motionless, almost breathless. She shed no tears, but now and then she prayed—prayed as perhaps she had never prayed before. Sometimes she put her fingers on his pulse to feel if it still beat; and so she waited, waited, while the doctor came in and out, expecting every moment that change which did not come, but which must come at last. ( It came when the wild night was waning towards daybreak, with a quickening of the languid pulse aisd the faintest tinge of color to the pallid cheek. She stooped over him, believing, with all a novice's delightful hope, that these signs were signs of improvement; but the color mounted to a hectic flush, the pulse throbbed faster and faster, and suddenly he started up and looked at her with strange wildness in his eyes. "I will go! I will go!" he cried. "But you will believe me?" She sprang up and threw her arms about his neck, uttering incoherent words of lov$ and passion; but he had fallen back on his pillow, painfully flushed- now, and his breath came in hot gasps.* "Bhe will not kiss me! My darling Will not kiss me! Never again!" he moaned. "What was it she said? 'All that is over now. How can I ever forget what has broken my heart?'" The words died away in a sobbing whisper, and the doctor, coming back at that moment, found him thus, tossing restlessly from side to side, unconscious- still, but actively, unconscious, with the frenzy racking his brain. j CHAPTER X. Days, many days, went by, and still Don lay in the same state. Sometimes shivering, sometimes burning "With fiery heat, sometimes slumbering in the deepest torpor; often wakefully -alert with the activity of a distraught mind, wandering back to scenes and times of which his watchers knew nothing—even back to days of early boyhood, when he and Roddy had fished together in Gadie's silvery stream, and never dreamed of jealousy or severance in years to come. By and by, as the days lengthened into weeks, there came lucid intervals, and when he awoke weak and wellnigh speechless, but perfectly conscious of his surroundings. And if at those times Lillie chanced to be his nurse he would lie and gaze tfpon her with a look of dog-like devotion in his great brown eyes, often even try to ut- "ter some feeble words of gratitude or contrition for her being there. Whilst even as he strove to speak that deadly oblivion would return and "blot out past and present alike. And meanwhile Lillie watched by him-and waited upon him with a jealous steadfastness, that scarce could brook to share her vigils.with his other nurses—they who could minister to the sufferer's wants perhaps more efficiently than Lillie's self, but could experience none of the young wife's bitter joy which made every little duty an act of devotion. . '.- For she saw his strength ebbing hour by hour as the fever Worked out Its course. She saw his wanderings become more frequent, those fatal torpors more prolonged, and those moments of weak consciousness grow fewer and fewer. And gradually, but all too surely, the awful fear began-to dawn upon her that Don and .she were to be called upon to part by a decree more relentless than hers. Yet, oh, it could not be that he should die—die and leave her thus, without knowing she had come to reallae her Jlfe was" bound up in his for time and for eternity! That his sin must be her tin, and Its atonement hers also aa well as his! Who shall gauge the bitterness of those pleadings, which burst from her aching heart through those long vigils of waiting? For it was known to her God alone. There came a night at last, as they neared the white cliffs of England, that after continuous hours of fitful slumber Don opened his eyes and fixed them upon her face. It waa approaching the hour when she usually relinquished her post to the nurse, and she was kneeling by his side in silent prayer, her cheek resting upon his pili low, her locked hands leaning gently on his breast. A strange reluctance to leave him had fallen upon her, and more than once she had passionately pressed her lips to the short, silky brown curls about his temples. "Lillie," he spoke wistfully. It was barely above a whisper, but she heard it with a great bound of her beating heart, for she knew this was real consciousness at last. "Lillie," he repeated faintly, so faintly that she had to stoop close to his lips to catch the words, "where are we now?" "We are very nearly home. In a few hours we shall be in the Solent." She was astonished that he manifested no surprise. It was as if his active brain had been speeding onward with the ship's throbbing engines; as if he, too, while his fragile barque drifted towards the unknown shore, had been dimly conscious of the great sea of time and space. "Lillie," he spoke again, with labored difficulty, "when we reach Southampton will you wire to Roddy and Di to come to me?" Hot tears welled up Into her eyes and fell upon the wasted hand he strove to lift and lay on hers. "We will go over to the Isle of Wight to them. Wouldn't that be better, Don?" "If you will not mind the trouble," he said, with all the trustful dependence of a little child. And then suddenly, with fluttering breath, he spoke again, so faintly she could scarcely hear. "I dreamt just now you kissed me. Lillie, would you promise not to leave till the end?" She broke down then, and flung herself upon his breast. "Oh, Don! Don! Don't you understand? I will ne"ver leave you—never, never!" she cried. His fingers closed upon hers with a feeble pressure and a look almost of rapture swept his face. Then, still holding her hand, he fell asleep. (To" be continued.) ~ RICH IN MFMORIES. The Long-Neglected Harrison llaasion Finds a New Owner. The long-neglected Harrison mansion at North Bend, 0., has been purchased recently by Mrs. 0. H. Hall of Cincinnati, for the sum of 115,000, and is to be preserved in commemoration of the illustrious men who have been sheltered within its walls. It was built in 1814 by Gen. William Henry Harrison, who presented it to his bride. There he dwelt until he went to the White House, and where his nine children and his illustrious grandson, Benjamin Harrison, were born. At the time the house was built Harrison was governor of the Northwestren Territoy, and as the conqueror of Tecumseh was a national hero. Those were exciting days, times of great personal danger, and no conveniences, and the Harrison mansion, simple as it was, was regarded then as aristocratic and stately. The hospitality of its halls was famous. Not a day passed that it did not afford entertainment for many guests. It is said that on occasions no less than sixty guests sat down together at the long mahogany tables in the great sun-lit dining hall. It is said that the bride was not content unless her cook served three kinds of meat on the festive board at times when cattle were scarce, when settlements were hundreds of miles apart. But wild duck and the fish in the rivers were plentiful, and no group of strangers or guests ever passed the gate in their day's journey who were not begged to remain and share the prodigal generosity of their host and hostess. In those days the estate, now sadly dwindled to seven acres, was composed of 600 acres. From Gen. Harrison the estate passed to his son, John Scott Harrison, a gentle, amiable man, with no financial ability. He lived there until his death in 1878, his property gradually diminishing until at his death he was actually a dependent- Benjamin Harrison was born there and it was his home until his marriage, when he moved to Indianapolis. For years the old house has been vacant The gardens have been overrun with wild, insolent weeds, the fields deserted, the great rooms and halls lonely and dead. Not even the ghost of former laughter and hospitality has echoed for years along its spiral staircases. The spider, pitiful tenant, has swung his tent ropes from rafter to rafter. The lofty headsof the old oaks sigh among their lofty crests at the saddened picture. STATS o» OHIO, CSTT OT TOLano, i . . * seFnrioarn kpa Jr.t nCehre nofe yth me aakrmes 'oofa Fth.

Americans May <>ct Chance to Make Som* hale* There. If the American manufacturer of automobiles looks sharp he m a y have a chance to earn an honest penny In Sweden by selling his surplus stock. It turns out that the cabbies of Stockholm and Copenhagen recently met together in solemn conclave to consider the advisability of purchasing motor carriages. They consulted sundry catalogues from the factories of Berlin, profusely illustrated with automobiles of all sizes and shapes, hunting wagons, motor cycles, delivery wagons, cabs, h a n s o m s and victorias. The cabs, h a n s o m s and victorias alone interested the cabbies; they w e r e elegant of design, rich and s i m - ple, and calculated to invite t h e patronage of the guileless and m o n e y spending elite. Experts were forthw i t h dispatched to Berlin with a view to immediate purchase, while the cab horses in Copenhagen and Stockholm w e r e kept upon small ration's in view of their approaching uselessness. T h e experts returned h o m e , in a m o n t h , victims ef t h e delusive catalogues. The motor cabs of Berlin were as unlike the elegant photographs as a western t o w n Is unlike'the wily auctioneer's flower description. German autos were a s ugly and cumbersome as beer kegs, and they refused to turn corners w i t h o u t big. sweeping curves. The experts next journeyed to France and again returned with s p a s m s of disgust and another tale of woe. The Parisian auto, they reported, was pleasing to the eye, but w h e n it got on a road with a layer of sand a n inch thick it stopped short and would inch thick it stopper short and would not go again. N o w the cabbies of Sweden are turning longing eyes toword the American catalogue, and are feeding their horses on oats. cne entnusiasm ot patriotism checkec.

Do An mala Commit Suicide ? ~~' The question as to whether animals ever commit suicide seems to have been answered at last. T w o cases of as deliberate self-destruction as was ever accomplished by man h a v e j u s t come to light and leave no other possibility of explanation than that of premeditated death. The first of these cases was furnisned by a m o n k e y belonging to the R<n>d family, of State street, Philadelphia. The monkey, whose name was iryp. had been in the possession of the Reeds for some years and had grown up to be considered quite one of ihr> family. Then it w a s noticed that Gyp w a s not quite himself; he refused food and began to pine away. \ veterinary surgeon was called in, and upon, exa m i n i n g Gyp he declared the case hopeless, and said that the most hum a n e course was to h a v e the monkey killed. To the regret of the whole family the monkey was handed over• to a soldier friend to be shot. The soldier took Gyp home, placed him in a garrot, and, leaving him, went down stairs to get his pistol. In t h e . garret was a horizontal pole to which was attached a piece of string. It requirod quite a muscular effort to reach the pole and to catch hold of the suspended twine. What, then, was the surprise of the soldier w h e n he returned with his pistol to find Gyp suspended from the pole, w i t h the piece of string tied Into a loop twisted around his neck! N o other action than that of a deliberate intention to commit suicide could have brought the m o n k e y Into t h a t position, and no doubt remains in the mind of the soldier that Gyp perceived the fate that was in store for him, and in order to avert it preferred dying by his own hands. T h e other case that s h o w s that animals are capable of t a k i n g their o w n lives occurred in the village of N e w Durham. Nero, the big Newfoundland dog that used to race with every train that swept through the tiny station, was the victim. Nero had been beaten for tearing his mistress' dress, and l i s heart broke under the disgrace. T h e n he w a s awakened out of his reverie, or whatever he might h a v e been plunged Into, by the familiar sight of the^rrgine coming at full speed down the track. Nero quietly trotted down to the track, upon which he laid h i n v self, to be crushed to death. All the children of the village followed Nero to his grave. They m a y live to be old men and w o m e n , but they will always believe t h a t Nero ended his life because he co?!*d not bear disgrace. The board of officers of the League of American Sportsmen has drawn up resolutions petitioning the Legislatures of the states of Montana, W y o m i n g , Idaho, Colorado and Utah to pass law.: prohibiting, for ten years, the killing of the prong-horned antelope. The resolutions state that if t h e present slaughter of the antelopes is continued the animal will be exterminated.

Rainy days are particularly despised by the telephone girls, because more people stay Indoors, and, as a consequence the work is almost doubled.

A Dutch auction at Cape Town is frequently exciting. If a house is to be sold the auctioneer offers 'Fifty golden severeigns for the man who first bids £5,000." Nobody bids. A pause, and then, "Fifty golden sovereigns for j t h e man who first bids £4,900." This is kept up until a bid is secured. But it b y - n o means follows that the house is sold to this bidder. No, the auctioneer is then at it again. Say that £4,400 is the first bid. The auctioneer cries: "There are twenty-five golden sovereigns for the first man who has the courage to bid £4.600." Perhaps n o one has it. Then £ 2 5 is offered for a £4,500. If there is eventually ho bid above "£4,400, t h e man w h o made t h a t bid is saddled with t h e . house. Otherwise he pockets his bonus and gets off free of it all. The authorities of Valley Stream, h.

At Subscribe for the DISPATCH I'atriotlc Student* Rebelled. "A certain college announced one year that its students were no longer to be granted Washington's Birthday as a holiday," tells an alumnus in "College Girls' Larks and Pranks" In the March Ladles' Home Journal. "Outraged and rebellious as the students were, the edict was final. The morning of Washington's Birthday the faculty came into the dining-room only to find it draped in flags and tricolor bunting. At the entrance they were obliged to pass by a bust of the Father of His Country, with the ignominious sign, 'Not running," Jtiimg about his neck. A largb portrait of the same slighted person, facing the dining-room door, received a royal salute from each student as she marched In soberly to the strains of 'America.' Every girl went to her classes that day in holiday attire—white gloves, dressy gowns and feathered hats— "and joined lustily in*the patriotic -chor uses which preceded every recitation, while the entire Senior class, impersonating Washington, wore placards explaining to the apparently Ignorant faculty who that neglected gentleman was.

That tbe sun never sets on the British empire is an axiom which suggests rather than defines the truth which inspired it. This, of course, is by no means of scientific- or even literal exactness. .But we all recognize the meaning of the phrase; which, like many another rhetorical gem of historic Interest, is very much older than the setting in which it has from time to time appeared. It has been- attributed to Pitt; and it no doubt received from him a splendid send-off on its introduction to the nineteenth century. In allusion to British ministers used the then little known expression, "The king of England, on whose dominions the sun never sets." That it made a great impression may well be imagined. Nor was this felt the least strongly in America; for in addressing the senate some years afterward, the eloquent Daniel Webster reminded his hearers that England was a power which had "dotted the surface of the entire globe with her possions and military posts, whose morning drum beat, following the sun and keeping company'JsltU the hours, encircled the earth daily with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial air of England." This graphic and picturesque enrichment raises the figure to a high poetic level, in itself suggestive of the inspiration of a former age, , This is best shown by the fact*ttsa*4-erea the phrase has been a sometime possession of several nations. We unexpectedly encounter it in the works of the quaint Thomas Fuller, who, in his sketch of the like of Sir. Francis Drake, says, that "though a poor private man, the admiral hereafter undertook to avenge himself upon so mighty a monarch, who, as not content as the sun riseth and setteth in his_ dominions, may Teem" to"desire to ma&e~~Htt his own where he shineth."

When the ambassador Gondomar was combining business and pleasure at the English court he bade a Spanish grandee who was returning to his own country "remember him to the sun," which he had not seen since his residence in England and which he would be sure to find in Spain. The Spaniards, however, had long been conscious that the sun—was not always shining on some of their territories. In one of Howell's well known collections of letters, published in 1623, occurs this passage: "In Philip II.'a time this crown came to his grandeur, and truly, to give the Spaniard his due, he is a mighty monarch, who hath dominions in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. SO the sun shines all the four and twenty hours of the natural day upon some part or other of his country, for part of the" antipodes are subject to Mm." And in his account of "Historic Phrases" Buchanan quotes the following sentence of a Dutch author in 1660: "The king of Spain is a great potentate, who stands with one foot In the east and the o t h - er—in the west, and the sun never sets that it does not shine on some of his dominions." The same idea also finds expression in Guarini's "Pastor Fido." some seventy years earlier, in which Catherine of Austria is spoken of as the illustrious daughter of the monarch on whose empire the sun never sets. But Portugal had also put forward her claim to an ever present sun, and certainly not without some show of reason. Even now in proportion to the importance of the mother country the Portuguese dependencies are of considerable extent. No doubt she was surpassed by Spain in the great burst "of maritime discovery: But"wHEIh71 hecentury preceding the birth of Camoens the Cape of Good Hope was doubled by Vasco da Gama. and Brazil was discovered by Cabral in 1500. H e r e was expansion east and west". more than enough for a poet to build upon; and, In the Lusiad." Camoens says of the Portuguese empire that* "the sun looks upon it when it rises, it still beholds it at mid-day. and when it sets it sets behind it." In whatever form the figure ts presented, there can be no doubt that it is entirely poetic in its origin, though politic*! foresight may have hastened to adopt it. Its cosmopolitan virtues have endowed It with all the more force p.nd vitality. Schiller uses it with effect in "Don Carlos." and in the course of the Peninsular war Napoleon deemed it politic to remind his army that "the sun never sets on the immense empire bequeathed by Charles V." The phrase seems at some time or other to have been in tne njouth of every nation that had the smallest pretentions to employ it, thou h it no doubt obtained its widest currency after the discovery of the new world. The Romans adapted it to their state of geographical and astronomical knowledge. Tibullus expressed It in poetry, and Rutilius in prose,. And two thousand years afterward their descendants, are speaking of the contemplated visit of the queen to their shores as that of a queen and empress on whose dominion the sun never seta.

The senators of the University of Bdinhurg have decided to confer the decree of doctor of laws on Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod, who has won world-wide fame as an economic entomologist and has spent twenty-three years in the study of Insect pests. Miss Ormerod will be the first woman to receive such an honor from the University of Bdinburg. Sir Alfred Milner, speaking of the outcome of the present war, says that dissimilar and antagonistic political sys'toms must no longer be tolerated *'in the country which nature and history have declared to be one." In tho main the Boers also agree with this statement. The point which is now being argued by "Oom" Paul and Lord Roberts with considerable earnestness is a$ fb which that one shall be. Philadelphia has raised $82,000 of the 1100,000 it promised for the national republican convention. Mayor A&hfcrldge is not without hopes the re- .J&ainder may_be. secured, hut has given Mr. Hanna to understand that he is fortunate to get that much. Philadelphia has been a third of a century building its new city hall and its business men properly object to being hurJ rled for any kind'of an enterprise. Following the "lean years" of the panic hundreds of those who had sought homes in America returned to their native land, some comparatively wealthy, and others not. This was a most unusual condition and probably will hot soon occur again. From prese n t prospects there will be a great rush •from: Europe to Americathie-season; One agent of a .steamship and immigration company estimates the number of those probably new-home seekers^ at 750,000, distributed in nationality as- follows: Irish, 300,000; Swedes, Danes and Norwegians, 200,000; Germane. 100,000; Italians, 60,000; French, 60,0*0; Poles, 10,000r English, 7,000; Scotch, 4,000; Greeks, 2,000; Turks, 1,000; Swiss. 1,500.

But one day Lazarus got sick. The sisters were in consternation. Father gone, and mother gone, they feel very nervous lest they lose their brother also. Disease did its quick work. How the girls hung over his pillow! Not much sleep about that house—no sleep at all. From the characteristics otherwise developed, I judge that Martha prepared the medicines and made, tempting dishes of food for the poor appetite of, the sufferer, but Mary prayed It has been proposed in New York to prohibit by law the publication of scandalous matter found on the persons or in the possession of suicldes~or of those who have attempted suicide. This would be a good thing to do. Persons who take their own lives are often insane. If not actually deranged, their minds are in so morbid a condition as to unfit them far calm and accurate statement. It often happens that, with the intention of explaining their act, they leave a letter or scrap of paper which reflects cruelly upon' the character of one or more living persons. The sensational newspapers print the letter under glaring headlineerxand the injured person has no redress. A mere denial counts for little, and there is no defense against the calumnies of the dead. After all, the failure of the American Students' League of Chicago was quite worth while. The organizitien proposed to send teachers and students to the Paris fair at an expense of 5200 apiece. It collected considerable money and spent a good deal on preliminaries. "Then, through ho dtfeeffault of the promoters, conditions changed so that the contract could not be carried out. This has happened to other projects— and in about nine cases out of ten the sponsors of the project have charged the expenses against the collections. But Supt. Andrews and Profs. Rogers, French and Howland, who lent their names to the Students' League project, propose to pay the expenses themselves and return all of the collections to the subscribers. The case is rare enough to deserve honorable mention. "Polite highwaymen" who have been Tobbing right and left in Chicago for the last few days have apparently takeft t h e niche in local criminology formerly occupied by "the long and short men.". All of the Chesterfleldian couple's victims speak highly of their polished courtesy and their careful avoidance of the knock-down and drag-out methods adopted by too many rude, coarse and uncultured sandbaggera— declaring, in fact, that it is almost a pleasure to be robbed by such courtly highwaymen. Theosophists and students of the Hindoo cults will probably assert that these Chicago robbers are the veritable reincanation of Dick Turpin and Jack Sheppard, but the average citizen, ignoring the romance and the transmigration ^theories will probably rejoice exceedingly when the walls of Joltet finally yawn for the daring footpads and their reign of terror la abruptly ended. that he can do no more. The shriek that went up from that household when the last breath had been drawn and the two sisters, were being led by sympathizers into the adjoining room all thoeo of us can imagine who have had our own hearts broken. But why was not Jesus there as he so often had been? Far away in the country districts, preaehlng, healing other sick, how unfortunate that this omnipotent Doctor had not been at that domestic crisis in Bethany. When at last Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazaru3 had been buried four days and dissolution had taken place. In that climate the breathless body disintegrates more rapidly than in ours. If, immediately after decease, the body had been awakened into life, unbelievers might have said he was only in a comatose state or in a' sort of trance and by some vigoraus manipulation or powerful stimulant vitality had been renewed. No! Four days dead. Tho Sepatcker of Christ. At the door of the sepulcher is a crowd of people, but the three most memorable are Jesus, who was the family friend, and the two bereft sisters. Wo went into the traditional torrtb one December day, and it is deep down and dark, and with torches we explored it. We found it all quiet that afternoon of our visit, but tho day spoken of in the Bible there was present an excited multitude. I wonder what Jesus will do? He orders the door of the grave removed, and then he begins to descend the steps, Mary and that bound his hands so that he could stretch out his anna In salutation and the tearing off of the bandage, from arouhfi his j a w i «o that he could speak. Wh*t would l^mrrootyt Mft hava b e e * t o Lazarus If he had not been freed from all those crlpplementi of his body? I am glad that Christ commanded his complete emancipation, saying, "Loose him, and let him go."**? OoJy Half Liberated. The unfortunate thing BOW is that so many Christians are only half liberated. They have been raised from the death and burial of aia into aplriUul life, but they yet have the tfraveclothes on them. They are, like Lazarus, hobbling up the stairs of the tomb bound hand and foot, and the object of this sermon is to help free their body and free their souls, and I shall try to obey the Master's command that comes to me and comes to every minister of religion, "Loose him, and let him go!" Many are bound hand and foot by religious creeds. Let no man misinterpret me as antagonizing creeds. I have eight or ten of them—a creed about religion, a creed about art, a creed about social life, a creed about government, and so on. A creed is something that a man believes, whether it be written or unwritten. The Presbyterian chuT^fcris—no w agitated "about i ta creed. Some good men in H are for keeping it because it was framed from tho belief of John Calvin. Other good men in it want revision. I am with neither party. Instead of- revision I want substitution. I was sorry to [Copyright, 1900, by Louis Ktopech.] Text is John xi, 44: "Loose him and let him go." My Bible is at the place of this text written all over with lead pencil marks made at Bethany on the ruins of the house of Mary and Martha and Lazarus. We dismounted from our horses on the way up from Jordan to the Dead sea. Bethany was the summer evening retreat of Jesus. After spending the day in the hot city of Jerusalem he would ccme out there almost every evening to the house of his three friends. I think the occupants of that house were orphans, for the father and mother are not mentioned. But the son and two daughters must have inherited property, for it must have been, judging from what I saw of the foundations and the size of the rooms, an opulent, horn^. Lazarus, the brother, was now at the head of the household, and his sisters^ depended on him and were proud of nim, for he was very popular, and everybody liked him, and these girls were splendid girls—Martha a first rate housekeeper and Mary s a spirituelle, somewhat dreamy,—buT affectionate"tlrevethe '(i(UestT0n~d^BTuThed1sl~aIir'.T&s' creed did not hinder us from offering the pardon and the comfort of tho gospel to all men, and the Westminster Confession has not interfered with me one minute. But now that the electric lights have been turned on the imperfections of that creed—and everything that man fashions is imperfect— let us put the old creed respectfully aside and get a brand new one. It is impossible that people who lived hundreds of years ago should fashion an appropriate creed for our a n d - s o b b e d . - Worse and worse-gets- ^ ¾ ^ j o ^ f t - C a l v T n w _ s ^ ^ - - ^ Lazarus until the doctor announces Try Gr»ln-o!

Deeper down into the shadowa and deeper!—The hut tears of Jesus roll over his cheeks and splash upon the back of his hands. Were ever so maay sorrows comp r e s s e d i n t o so small a space as in good man, but he died 336 years ago. The best centuries of Bible study have come since then, and. explorers have done their work, and you might as well have the world go back and stick to what Robert Fulton knew about steamboats and reject the subsequent improvements in navigation, and go back to John Gutenberg, the inventor of th« art of printing, and reject all modern newspaper presses, and go back to the time when telegraphy was the elevating of signals or the burning of "bonfires-on~the hilltops-and reject, the magnetic wire whlch-is the tongue of nations as to ignore all the exeg'etes and the- philologists and the theologians of the last 336 years and put your head under the sleeve of the gown of a sixteenth century doctor. I could call the names of twenty living Presbyterian ministers of religion who could make a better creed than John Calvin. The nineteenth century ought not to be called to sit at the feet of the sixteenth. Chnnco Jn Conditions. "But," you say, "it is the same old Bible, and John Calvin had that as well ag the present student of the Scriptures." Yes; so it is the same old sun in the heavens,, but in our time it has gone to making daguerreotypes and photographs. It is the same old water; but in our century it has gone to running steam engines. It is tho same old electricity; but in our time it has become a lightning footed errand boy. So it is the old Bible, but new applications, new uses, new interpretations. You must remember that during the la°t 300 voars wnrd<z that group pressing on down after [ Christ, all the time bemoaning that he ' had not come before? Now all the whispering and all the crying and all the sounds of sliuffling feet are stopped. It is the silence of expectancy. Death had conquered, but now the vanquisher of death confronted the scene. Amid the awful hu3h ot the tomb, the familiar name which Christ had often had upon his lips in the hospitalities of tho village home came back to his tongue, and with a pathos and an almightiness of which the resurrection of the last day shall only bo an echo he crie3, "Lazarus, come forth!" The eyes of the slumberer open, and he rises and comes to the foot of the steps and with great difficulty begins to ascend, for the cerements of the tomb are yet on him, and his feet are fast and his hands are fast and the impediments to all his movements are so great that Jesus commands: "Take off theso /cerements! < Remove these hindrances! Unfasten these gravcclothes! Loose htm, and let him go!" Oh, l a m so glad that after the Lord raised Lazarus he went on and commanded the loosening of tfce cords*That bound his feet so that he could walk and the breaking off of the cerement have changed their meaning, and some of them now mean more and some less. I do not think that John Calvin believed, as some say he did, in the damnation of fhfan'tsTaTthough some of the recent "not disputes would seem to imply that there is such a thing as the damnation of infants. A man who believes in the damnation of infants himself deserves to lose heaven. I do not think any good man could admit such a possibility. What Christ will do with all the babies in the next world I conclude from what he did with the babies in Palestine when he hugged them and kissed them. When some of •you grown people go out of this world, your doubtful destiny will be an embarrassment to ministers officiating at your obsequies, who will have to be cautious so as not to hurt surviving friends. But when the darling children go there are no "ifs" or "buts" or guesses. t We must remember that good John } „ Calvin was a logician and a metaphysi clan, and by the proclivities of his B*J ture put some things in an unfortunate way. Logic has its use and metaphysics has its use, but they are not good at making creeds. A gardener hands you a blooming rose, dewy, fresh, but a severe botanist comes to you with a rose and says, "I will show you the structure of this rose," and he proceeds to take it apart and pulls off the leaves and he says, "There are the petals/' and ho takes out the anthers, and he says, "Just look at the wonderful structure of these floral pillars!" and then he cuts the stem to show you the juices of-the plant Do logic or metaphysics takes the aromatic rose of the Christian religion and says, "I will just show you how t h i s rose of religion was fashioned," and It pulls off of it a piece and says, "That is the human will," and another piece and says, "This is God's will," and another piece and says, "This is sovereignity," and another piece and says, "This is free agency," this is this, and that is •that. And while I,stand looking at the fragments of the rose pulled apart, one whom the Marys took for a gardener comes in and presents me with a crimson, rose, reS as blood, and says, "Inhale the sweetness of this; wear it on your heart, and wear it forever." I must confess that I prefer the rose in full bloom to the rose pulled apart • « * Our* Not tho Only VF«rlrt. Backed up by the teachings of your Bible, just look through the telescope some bright night and see how many worlds there are and reflect that all you have seen, compared with the number of worlds in existence, are less than the fingers of your right hand as compared with all the fingers of the human race. How foolish, than, for us to think that ours is the only world fit for us to stay in. I think that all the stars are inhabited and by beings like the human race in feelings and sentiments, and 4he differences inlung respiration and heart beat and physical conformation, their physical confora¥tI6h^t~for the climate- of their world and our physical conformation fit for the climate of our world* So we shall feel at home in any of the stellar neighborhoods, our physical limitations having ceased. r Gottlo* Into tho Light. "But," you say, "I fear to go because the future is so full of mystery." Well, I will tell you hefw to treat the mysteries.

As many mothora will be Interested In reading the full letter, we will send it to anyone who sends request of us on a postal card. Mention this paper. the arguments in the case and they say, "I will take these papers and give you my decision nest week." So I have heard all the arguments in regard to the next world, and some things .are uncertain and full of mystery, and so I fold up the papers and reserve until the next world my decision about them. I can there study all the mysteries to better advantage, for the light will be better and my faculties stronger, and I will ask the Christian philosophers, who have had all the advantages of -heaven for centuries, to help me, and I may be permitted myself humbly to ask the Lord, and I think there will be only one mystery left; that will be how one so unworthy as myself got into such an enraptured place. Come up out of the sepulchral shadows. If you are not Christians by faith in Christ, come np into the light; and if you are already like Lazarus, reanimated, but still have your grave clothes on, get rid of them. The command is, "Loose him, and let him so." The only part of the journey I made years ago to Palestine that I really dreaded was the landing at Joppa. That is the port of entrance for the Holy Land, and there are many rocks and in rough weather people cannot land at all. The boats taking the people from the steamer to the docks must run between reef3 that looked to me to be about 50 feet apart, and one mistroke of an oarsman or an unexpected wave has sometimes been fatal and hundreds have perished along those reefs.

The Paris exposition was formally opened to the public on the 15th, but many of 'the exhibits-were still-con" tained in their original packing cases. Probably more than half of the exhibits are French and the balance are foreign. Eight years have been spent in the preliminary preparations and in the actual construction of the buildings. The total cost o f the exhibition was 827,000,000, and about 110~,000,000 has been invested in side shows and amusement enterprises outside the grounds, AH the buildings, including the Paris "Midway," occupy an area of 300 acres. The total number of buildings, including pavilions of foreign states, is 65. The duration of the exposition- will be 3©4 days—April 15 to Nov. 5, and the general admission to the grounds has been placed at 20 cents between the hours of 10 a. m. and 0 p. ra. At other hours the price will be 40 cents, or two francs. 10 Indictments Returned.

One hundred escap-rerd Spanish prison* ers from the province at Tayabas, South Luzon, have arrived at Manila, ^"he insurgents have 400 more Spaniard^ in trhat district. Recently the Filipinos destroyed several rods of t h e railway line s e a r Paniquo, in an unsuccessful attempt to wreck a train. The insurgents have been aggressive in almost every province of Luzon. Gen. Pio del Pilar'* band, numbering 300, which was out of sight for three months, the leader being reported killed, has reappcarod in its old field about San Miguel, Pilar is supposed to be again in command. He gave the American garrison at San Miguel, consisting of -three companies of the 35th infantry, with aGatling gun, a three hours' fight, during a night attack. The loss of the insurgents in this engagement is not included in the foregoing total, as they removed their dead and wounded, but presumably it was considerable. Twelve hundred Tagalos recently attacked Case's battalion headquarters of the 40th regiment at Cagayan, island of Mindanao, The Americans had 15 casualties, while of the attacking force 50 were killed and 30 wounded or taken prisoners. The enemy, numbering 150 riflemen, the remainder being bolomen, archers and mounted spearmen, swooped down in a howling mass at daylight, surprising and killing three of the sentries. TJ*ey swarmed the streets in small parties, some bearing scaling ladders, by means of which they attempted to enter the houses. The Americans tumbled out of barracks and formed in the plaza and companies began sweeping the town. The subsequent street fighting lasted 20 minutes. Twelve of the wounded Americans are now on boai'd the hospital ship Relief. The enemy withdrew to t h e mountains in great confusion. Last week w a s one of the bloodiest, of the war since the first day's fighting- around Manila. Authentic reports, mostly official, show a total of 378 Filipinos killed, 12 officers and 244 men captured and many more wounded. The number wounded is hardly guessable. Considering that the Filipinos entirely lack hospital facilities a great majority of the wounded will die. Probably the week's work finished 1,000 insurgents. The Americans'total loss was 9 killed and 16 wounded; two sergeants and one private were killed in ambushes while ^escorting provision trains. Col. Smith, of the 17th infantry, who captured Gen. Montenegro and took him to Manila, is in the isolated hospital suffering from smallpox, presumable caught from the Filipinos. Col. Smith's command captured 180 officers and men with Montenegro. The officers were taken to Manila. Montenegro, who was formerly dnc of the most -dapper officers-in the- Filipino army, looks worn and haggard. He says he had led a terrible life for months, and he has offered to return to t h e / n o r t h with Col. Smith to endeavor to persuade his former comrades of the uselessness of opposing the Americans. Gen. Moatenegro, one of the insurgents' best fighters, has surrendered to Col. Smith, in the mountains, near Camaling, in the province inan, where, with Gen. Macabulos, he had been trying to reorganize the Filipino army. Col. Smith, with, five companies of the 17th regiment, nearly surrounded the force of Montenegro, who, discouraged by the impossibility of making his men stand against the Americans, surrendered. Macabulos escaped. Twenty Filipinos in the province of Batangas attacked Lieut. Wonde, who with 80 men was scouting near San Jose. The lieutenant and five men were injured and one private was killed. Sergt. Ledoins, of the 35th infantry, was badly injured in an ambush near Baliuag. Lieut. Balch, of the 37th infantry, with 70 men, had a five hours' fight with 500 insurgents in the Nueva Caceras district. Twenty of the insurgents were killed. The military commission which tried three Filipinos at Leallamba for guerrilla warfare, has found all three guilty and sentenced two of them to life imprisonment and one to 30 years' imprisonment. Maj.-Gen. Otis has approved the findings, but has reduced the sentences to 15 years. Two Ladrones, convicted of murder, have-been sentenced to be hanged at Odonnel. Filipinos attacked the American garrison in Batoc, North I locos province, Philippines, on the 15th. They were repulsed with a loss of 106 men. No American casualties.

Women at a bargain rush behave no worse than men at a railway lunch counter. It!s a good sign when her sex thinks well of a woman. It is a great deal better for a man to wear boots too big for him than that he should be too big for his boots. They say love is hirnd, irot a woman can see a thousand qualities in a man he never possesses. ' It is the money you save, not the money you make, that helps you to independence and comfort. The heart that has passed through the deep waters of tribulation is , the most tender; the voice that has itself cried with pain is the most gentle; the hand that has suffered is the most Boothing ministrant in the chamber of sorrow. The best sympathizer is one who has been a partaker.in the same sufferings. The prosperous man counts his enemies; the man of adversity his friends. Anger is best conquered by kindness. It does not take long for beautiful snow to become beautiful slush. Money always goes-farther in theory than in practice. in- making tea, if the "kettle should have boiled, pour a cup of cold water in and let it boil up again before making, and you will find the tea will be as nice again. Few married women appreciate useful gifts from outsiders—they think their husbands should provide these. It sometimes happens that when a man lospr. his mind he doesn't miss it much. An egotist is a man who thinks himself better than his neighbors. People arp no longer lazy; they are only taking the rest cure. As far as comfort goes there isn't any difference between marrying for money without love and marrying for love without money. It is better to be disagreeable in a Bort. of way than altogether insipid. Sometimes you hear of a perfect man. He is thn fellow your wife could have married MORE LOCAL. 3.

Did not Succeed in Opening the fault Door* Complete line ot Buggies, Wagons and Heating Stoves, Ranges, Wood Stoves _ _ Wood and Coal. On Thursday night last between the hours of 1 and 2, an attempt was made to rob the Pinckney Exchange Bank. An entrance was made at the front door with tools stolen, from Bernard Lynch's blacksmith shop. The knob of the lock of the vault door was broken off, nitro glycerine put in and an attempt made to blow off tbe door, but it was unsuccessful. Tbe front door of the vault is a wreuk. The explosion was heard by several persons, who thought some one was tiring a gun. The vault is one of tbe best in tbe state and it and contents were fully insured in the Bankers' Mutual Casualty Company. Hon. Geo. W. feeple opened the bank at tbe regular hour and .transacted business as usual. The vault door is probably stronger than most vault doors throughout tbe state as it was reinforced by a large steel plate for the protection of tbe lock and sliding bolts locked it on all fous sides instead of only the front as in most cases. Had the robbers gained entrance to the vault ihey would still have bad the safe door to have blown off and the money was even then being several inches of steel locked in an air-tight chamber with a time lock. When the explosion took place which wrecked tbe vault doors, several h«Hs, burrs, etc tlew around tbe room and one large bolt went directly through tbe stove pipe, plate glass window arid out into the street. Another also struck the window breaking quite a hole nearly in the center. The glass was covered by insurance so that tbe entire damage to tbe bank was covered. The insurance adjuster was here Saturday and congratulated Mr,Teeple also set about rapairs immediately. Tbe frame ot the vault door will have to be sent to Detroit where it w.ll be fitted with a door. In the meantime the bank will do business just tbe same and all money will he oared for with all safety. » i ^ ^ — — » JLOCAL N E W S . Wanted—a good rain. Lots of local on page four.

Toe TMftt of Col> SMtoa was Commenced at Lansing oa April »5—The Vroaeentloa la Scheming to Sara aa Blaeta Tints M Voealble. Although the prosecution expects to make more rapid progress in the Sutton case than was made in the trial of Qfltt. Marsh, the chances' are that the trial commenced on the 25th will not be finished before May 10. Should the defense have many witnesses, it will be nearer May 15 when the end is reached. It is expected that time will be made at the commencement of the trial, Judge Wiest having already considered and passed upon most of the motions and objections. These motions include all those made in bettalf of Marsh. The prosecution hopes to gain further time by offering in bulk many of the exhibits, consisting of vouchers, etc., which had to be read into the ..Marsh record, this consuming much time. There are other portions of the testimony that can be treated simi- K. iariy if the defense would consent. The entire first day was spent in a strenuous effort on the part of the defense to secure a continuance, claiming that Tom L. Johnson, the street car magnate who is taking a trip to Europe, was a material witness, and the challenging of jurors by the defense. Judge Wiest denied the motion fOTircon this made-Capt.- Atkinson warm under the collar and he challenged the entire array of jurors. Second Day. The Sutton case carafe to an abrupt close on the 26th, Judge Wiest sustaining the challenge of the defense to both the special and extra jury panels owing to irregularities in drawing them. This throws the case over until an extra panel of 30 jurors can be summoned. The whole trouble seems to have been with the county officials, who for years have been drawning panels without closely following the provisions of the statute and their methods were only discovered when Capt.

She told recently of the beauty of the island, a n d -sald^it-coulU Teally be called the "Emerald Isle," en account of the luxuriance of its tropical vegetation; Orchids g r o w there like buttercups and daisies in an E n g - lish m e a d o w , S t e v e n s o n b a d a great love for t h e place, and he considered it restful and full of inspiration. The natives looked upon h i m w i t h venevntlon, and his mother, w h o a l w a y s wore a w h i t e cap, they called an exiled princess, confusing the cap and the crown as s y m b o l i c of royalty. Mr. Stevenson became friendly with m a n y of the nat i v e s and one of his pleasures was to see the effect u p o n t h e m of h i g h l y civilized c u s t o m s , a s for instance, inviting t w e l v e or more of the waflfiors-to a course dinner, served w i t h great formality. T h e warriors would come in n a t i v e costume and never appeared ill at ease, a l w a y s w a i t i n g for Mr. Stev e n s o n to begin a course and then irai t a t i n g exactly. Contrary to the life of m o s t s a v a g e people, the w o m e n of S a m o a do not do the heavy work, an.1 finder the teaching of Mr. Stevenson they became still more e x e m p t from unnecessary burdens, and lived much the s a m e domestic life a s civilized w o m e n . In their dress t h e y still retained, however, many s a v a g e traits, and it w a s not an unusual t h i n g to see the children g o i n g to church attired o n l y in a hat and a wreath of smilax. W h e n Mr. S t e v e n s o n died, the n a t i v e s built a coral road from his home to his grave, and t h i s t h e y call "the road of l o v i n g hearts." They have also built a hospital in h i s m e m - ory, and Mrs. S t e v e n s o n partly supports it, s e n d i n g a yearly contribution.

H e found t h a t the E n g l i s h letters would not express the s o u n d s of that tongue, nor would his fellow Cherokees take up the white man's letters. To o v e r c o m e this difficulty he decided to i n v e n t a new a l p h a b e t e a s y to learn and at the s a m e time expressive of the sounds of the Cherokee language. The Indian eye will n o t easily c o m e down to mere lines, s o he used pictures of t h i n g s to indicate the letters or sounds of letters. H e succeeded a t last in forming an alphabet of s i x t y - e i g h t s i g n s by w h i c h he could e x p r e s s all of the s o u n d s of his native tongue. A t the s a m e t i m e the letters are s o large and distinct from each o t h e r a s not to be e a s i l y confused. H e first tried his n e w a l p h a b e t on h i s wife, and found that she could easily remember the s o u n d s and learn t o read. T h e n he called in half a dosen of t h e Cherokee warriors and tried his letters 'on them. H e r e again he succeeded. H e wrote a f e w sentences in Cherokee, and t h e y read t h e m after a little training. C O N G R E S S I O N A L N 0 T C 9 .

A paper was well read by Mrs. S. Barton, written by her uucle, Mr. Chapman, and furnished us many good thoughts. T h e association topic, "The duty of the people in the conventions," was discussed at some length, and the question box brought forth some lively discussion of profit to farmers. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions on the death of the late C. M. Wood, and the club adjourned to meet in May at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. Gilchrist.

[Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopcch.] Text, Philippians iv., 12: "I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound." Happy Paul! Could you really accommodate yourself to. all circumstances in life? Could you go up without pride, and could you come down without exasperation? We are at a season of the year when vast populations in all our cities are changing residence. Having been born In a house, and having all our lives lived in a house, we do not have full appreciation of what a house is. It is the growth of thousands of years. The human race first lived in clefts of rocks, beasts of the field moving out of the caverns to let the human race | move in. The shepherds and the robbers still live in caverns of the earth. The troglodytes are a race which to this day prefer the caverns to a house. They are warm, they are large, they are very comfortable, they are less subject jbo violent changes of heat and cold; We come on along down in the history of the race, and we come to the lodge, which was a home built out of twisted tree branches. We come further on down in the history of the race, and we come to the tent, which was a home buiU with a round pole in "'Discussions of the war and the twentieth century," reads a notice on the wall of a hotel in Glasgow, Scotland, "will not be allowed until the close of both." So far as this generation is concerned that seems to be a prohibition until "the day after never." Thrift can almost live on what extravagance throws away. The dust from blast furnaces^ is apparently worthless material, but in France successful experiments have been made with it for fertilizing purposes. The land responded satisfactorily. The dust contains ingredients which the earth finds to be stimulating. After all, there is little on this world of ours that is —Without value; The horrors of war in South Africa have been softened by many acts of magnanimity on both sides, and fierce foes in combat have forgotten animosity when moved by the appeal of human needs. Before the relief of Ladysmith a message went from the camp of the Boers to that of the British, requesting, for the relief of men in hospitals, a certain kind of medicine, Which the Boers' medical department Jacked. __The request wan imtantly granted. The Boers' confidence in the 'humanity of-their foes was as touching as it was creditable to the British who inspired i t The state of Massachusetts has a holiday which, althougifit is but seven years old, has attained great popular success. It is called Patriots' day, and i s celebrated on April 19th, in commemoration of the battles of Concord and Lexington. In Massachusetts this holiday has a special reason for its existence, aside from the fact that Concord and Lexington are within the limits of the state. It takes the place of the old Fast day, which fell by custom on the first Thursday i n April. The transformation of Fast day into a day for baseball, fishing and merrymaking was a perversion of what was Intended t o be "a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer." The people were not willing to give up the vernal hoiiday, and the celebration of the anniversary of Concord fight gave an opportunity for retaining it. A bill has been introduced in Congress to make April 19th a n?.tional holiday. Arrangements arc i n progress for the assembly at the City of Mexico next year of a general congress of all the independent governments on the American continent. The ^ gathering will be similar to the "Pan-American conference" which met at Washington In 1389. One result of that conference was the formation of an International Union of American Republics, with a "bureau" of general information. The bureau, which includes in its membership all of the republics, is taking up the preliminary work of the proposed congress. The replies which Secretary Hay has received to his letter suggesting the new conference indicate that all tne American republics will be represented. The conference will have no political aims. It will consider questions of trade, facilities for transportation by rail and sea, banking systems and customs methods, and perhaps it will discuss the feasibility of a permanent tribunal of arbitration t o settle disputes a m o u r the republics without recourse to war. the center, and skins of animals reaching out in all directions, mats on the floor for the people to sit oh. Time passed on, and ttie world, after much invention, came to build a house, which was a space surrounded by broad stones, against Which the earth was heaped from the outside. The-roofwas made of chalk and gypsum, and coals and stones and ashes pounded together. After awhile the porch was born, after awhile the gate. Then hundreds of years passed on, and in the fourteenth century the modern chimney was constructed. The old Hebrews had openings in their houses from which the smoke might escape if it preferred, but there was no inducement offered for it to leave until the modern chimney. Wooden keys opened the door, or the keyhole was large enough to allow the finger t o be inserted for the lifting of the latch or the sliding of it. There being no windows, the people were dependent for light upon latticework, over which a thin veil was drawn down in time of winter to keep out the elements. Window glass was, so late a s two or three hundred years ago, in England ana Scotland, s o great a luxury that only the very wealthiest could afford it. A hand mill and an oven and ajfew leathern bottles and some rude pitchers and plates made up the entire equipment of the culinary department. \ But the -home planted in the old cave'or at the foot of a-tent pole has grown and enlarged and spread abroad until we have the modern house with its branches and roots and vast girth and height and depth of comfort and accommodation. Goorl Hon*** to T.ire In. Architecture in other days busied itself chiefly in planning and building triumphal arches and basilicas and hippodromes and mausoleums and columns, while they allowed the people for residences to burrow like muskrats in the earth. St. Sophia's of Constantinople, St. Mark's of Venice, St. Peter's of Rome are only the Raphaeled walls against which lean the squalor and the pauperism of many nations. I rejoice that, while our modern architects give us grand capitols in which to legislate and grand courthouses in which to administer justice and grand churches in which to worship God.they also give much of their time to the planning of comfortable abodes for our tired population. I have not so much interest in the arch of Traian an Beneventum as I have in the wish that all the people may have a comfortable shelter, nor have I so much interest in the temple of Jupiter Olympus at Athens as I have in the hope that every maji may have an altar for the worship of the true God in his own house. And I have not so much interest in the science of ceramics, which goes crasy over a twisted vase, or a queer handled jug in use 3,000 years ago, or a pitcher out of which the ancient pharaohs poured their drunken debauch, as I have that every man have on his table a plate with plenty of healthful food and an appetite to attack i t Thank God for your home—not merely the house you live in now, but the house you were born in and the many houses you have resided in since you began your earthly residence. When you g o home today, count over the number of these houses in which you have resided, and you will be surprised. Once in awhile you will find a man who lives in the house where he was born and where his father was born and his grandfather was born and his great-grandfather was born, but that is s o t one out <tf A thousand cases. I h»Y» n o t ' b e t a more perambulatory than moat people, t u t I was amazed on the SIM of the house we IIv» fn7 I when I came to count up the number is, there Is in this world no such thing as permanent residence. In a private vehicle and not in a rail car, from which you can see but little, I rode from New York to Yonkers and Tarrytown, on tne banks of the Hudson—the finest ride on the planet for a man who wants to see palatial residences in fascinating scenery* It was in the early sprint* and before the gentlemen of New York had gone out to their country residences. I rode into the grounds t o a d - mire the gardens, and the overseer of the place told me—and they all told me that all the houses had been sold or that they wanted t o sell them, and there was literally no exception, although I called a t many places, just admiring the gardens and the grounds and the palatial residences. Some wanted to sell or had «sold because their wives did not want t o reside in the summer time In those places while their husbands tarried in town in the night, always having some business on hand keeping them away. Change of KetHeaer, From some houses the people had been shaken out by chills and fever, from some houses they had gone because death or misfortune had occurred, and all those palaces and mansions had either changed occupants or wanted to change. Take up the directory of any city of England or America and see how few people live where they lived 15 years ago. There is no such thing as permanent residence. I saw Monticello, in Virginia, President Jefferson's residence, and I saw on the same day Montpelier, which was either Madison's or Monroe's residence, and I saw also the white house, which was President Taylor's residence, and President Lincoln's residence,and President Garfield's residence. Was it a perman e n t residence-in any caseJ?—I-tell you that the race is nomadic and no sooner gets in one place than it wants to that our happiness i s not dependent have known people enjoy a small heavof residences I have occupied. The fact f en in two rooms and other suffer a pandemonium in twenty. There is a s much happiness In a small house a s in a largo house. There is a s much satisfaction under the light of a tallow candle as under the glare of a chandelier, all the burners at full blase. W h o was the happier J o h n Bunyan in Bedford jail or Belshaszar in the saturnalia? Contentment i s something you can neither rent nor purchase.- It i s not extrinsic; i t i s intrinsic. A r e there*fewer rooms in the house to which you move? You will have-leas to take care of. I s it t o be stove i n - stead of furnace? All the doctors say the modern modes of warming buildings are unhealthy. Is it less pier mirrors? Less temptation t o your vanity. Is it old-fashioned toilet i n - stead of water pipes all through the house? Less to freeze and burst when you cannot get a plumber. Is it less carriage? More room for robust e x - ercise.

Is it less money for marketing? Less temptation t o ruin the health of your family wkh pineapples and indigestible salads. Is it a little deaf? Not hearing so many disagreeables. I meet you this springtime a t t h e door of* your new home, and while I help you lift t h e clothesbasket over ,the banisters and the carman i s getting red in the face in trying to transport that article of furniture t o some new destination X congratulate y o u . You are going t o have a better time this year, some of you, than you ever had. You take God and the Christian religion in your home, and you will be grandly happy. God in the parlor— that will sanctify your sociabilities. God in the nursery—that will protect grour ^children. God in the-dining hall —that will make the plainest meal an imperial banquet. God in the morning— that will launch the day brightly from the drydockrs. God in the evening— that will sail the day sweetly into the harbor. And get joy, one and all of you, whether you move or do not move. Get joy out of the thought that we are soon all going to have a grand moving day. Do you want a picture of the new house into which you will move? Here it is, wrought with the hand of a master, "We know that, if our earthly house- of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." How much rent will we have to pay for it? We are going to own it. How much must we pay for it? How much cash down, and how much left on mortgage? Our Father is going to give it a s a free gift. When are we going to move into it? We are moving now. On moving day heads of families are very apt to stay in the o'd house until they have seen "everything off. They send ahead the chlldren.a:id change for another place or is compelled to change for another place,, and so the race Invented the railroau and the steamboat in order more rapidly to get into some other place than that in which It was then. Aye, instead of being nomadic, it is Immoral, moving on and moving on. We whip up our horses and hasten on until the hub of the front wheel shivers on the tombstone and tips us headlong into the grave, the anly permanent earthly residence. But. bless God, even that stay is limited, for we shall have a resurrection. A day this spring the streets will be filled with the furniture carts and the drays and the trucks. I t will be a hard day for horses, because they will be overloaded. It will be a hard day for laborers, for they will overlift before they get the family furniture from one house to another. It will be a hard day for housekeepers to see their furniture scratched, and the crockery broken, and their carpets misfit, and their furniture dashed of the sudden showers. It wHI be a hard day for landlords. It will be a hard day for tenants. Especial grace is needed for moving day. Many a man's religion has suffered a fearful strain between the hour on the morning of the first of May, when he took his immature breakfast, and the hour at night when he rolled into his extemporized couch. The furniture broken sometimes will result in the breaking of the Ten Commandments. There is no more fearful pass than the hall of a house where two families meet, one moving out and the other moving in. The salutation Is apt to be more vehement than complimentary. The grace that will be sufficient for the first of January and the first of February and the first of March and the first of April will not be sufficient for the first of May. Say your prayers that •morning if you find nothing better to kneel down by than a coal scuttle, and say your prayers a t night though your knee comes down on a paper of carpet tacks. You x.'ill want supernatural help if any of you move. Help in the morning to start out aright on the day's work. Help at night to repent. There will be enough of annoyance to make a Xantippe out of a Frances Ridley Havergal. I have again and again been in crises of moving day, and I have stood appalled and amazed and helpless in the shipwreck, taking as well as I could those things that floated ashore from the breakers, and I know how to comfort and how to warn, and how to encourage t h e people, so I preach this practical May day sermon. All these troubles- will soon be gone, and the bruises will heal, and the stiffened joints will become supple, and your ruffled temper will be smoothed of its wrinkles, and order will take the place of disorder, and you will sit down in your new home seriously to contemplate. t ReveriMM of Fortntic. But there are others who will move out of large residences into smaller through the reversal of fortune. The property must be sold or the bailiff you cannot pay the house rent. First of a l l sue* persons should understand they send ahead the treasures and the valuables. Then, after awhile, they will come themselves. I remember very well in the country that in boyhood moving day was a jubilation. Going- to th« Father's Honms On almost the first load we, the children, were sent on ahead to the new house, and we arrived with shout and laughter, and in an hour we had ranged through every room in the house, the barn and the granary. Toward night, and perhaps in t h e last wagon, father and mother would come, looking very tired, and we would come down to the foot of the lane to meet them and tell them of all the wonders we discovered in t h e new place, and then, the last wagon unloaded, the candles lighted, our neighbors who had helped us to move—for in those times neighbors helped,each other—sat down with us at a table on which there was every luxury they could think of. Well, my dear Lord knows that some of us have been moving a good while. We have sent our children ahead, we have sent many of our valuables ahead, seut many treasures ahead. We cannot go yet. There is work for us to do, but after awhile it will be toward night, and we will be very tired, and then we will start for our new home, and those who have gone ahead of us they will see our approach, and they will come down the lane to meet us, and they will have much to tell us of what they have discovered In the "house of many mansions," and of how large the rooms are and of how bright t h e fountains. And then, the last load unloaded, the table will be spread and ouFcelestial neighbors will come in to sit down with our reunited families, and the chalices will be full, not with the wine that sweats in the vat of earthly intoxication, but with "the new wine of the kingdom." And there for the first time we will realize what fools we were on earth when we feared to die, since death has turned out only to- b e t h e moving from a smaller house into a larger one, and the exchange of a pauper's hut for a prince's castle, and the going up stairs DAN.'

In his boyhood aad early manhood, ^before marrying and settling downs4pr',ttlKng the>* apO,'> ae lived much"ln^the^'woods, ,hin>bering, hunting, surveying Umber and gathering sprite* gum. On his recent visit to ^the^Boaton^ sportsman's show, he •was lookin|r at th^ big stuffed panther In one cf the Canadian exhibits when he was asked if such beasts are now to be found In Maine. The animal in -question was a big wildcat whose weight, when alive, must have been 150 pounds, lithe and slender in body, hut with enormously developed quarters and wide paws armed with ugly looking claws, the whole making a "critter" not to be despised even by a well-armed man. "Whether there are such cats as that fellow in the Maine woods now or not, I can't say," replied Johnson, "but I do know mighty well that there was one of them in Perham. way up beyond Madrid Mills, in the spring of 1883, for George Hood and I killed htm there, af£er a terrible fracas that took most all night and spoiled a day's work. "It was the same sort of a beast as this one, and not to be. mistaken for those little bobcats, with their stub tails and tufted ears, nor for the blackcats, or fishers, alBO sometimes regarded as wildcats. This is a regular American panther, known in our region as an "Indian devil," because they were the only beasts of which the Indians used to bo afraid. "That spring George and I were clearing up a 'cutdown' in Perham, working for George's^brotlrer, who was getting ready to settle ^ut^ there, Jour miles from the nearest road and as far again from any sort of a house. We had a good big clearing and, slept nights in a Utile Ueanto' oholtor made of poles and brush. "One night, after we had munche-1 our bread and bacon, wanned over the open fire before the little camp, and were getting ready to crawl under the blankets j for a night's sleep, there came, from away over the side hill toward the northeast, a peculiar cry, or yell, that immediately seized the attention of both of us. " 'S'pose it was a bear?' said George. 'You know they can make a mighty mean noise sometimes, and it is about the time they come out of their dens, good and hungry, and plotting cussedness.' "Then, as the yells, gradually changing the position from which they came, seemed to be drawing nearer, we hustled about to replenish the fire and collect a good quantity of wood to last through, the night For, though we were both of ua perfectly accustomed to sleeping in the woods.and had never in all our lives, up to that time, either seen or heard anything alarming in the wild animals that lived in the Franklin county woods, yet there was something In that yell that frightened us both.though of course neither would acknowledge it. "It is 17 years ago, but I can remember Just how I felt aa the darkness fell, the little clearing lost its outlines, aa the light faded, and those miserable, indescribable shrieks kepi coming nearer and nearer, every new one full of a keener horror than the one before: ' There^was a suggestion of something tajftejgy*. pain and hunger, an «xpr^jg&!tf fccpefcaa longing that w e n t V tt* ifery bottom of one's feelings,, and mixed oddly with the growing certainty that the noises came from a griat jpajataer which waa app r o a ^ ^ ^ ' / * "Our argiamen^ was not extensive, consisting <•* j W axes, and ,<ay> ola* double bajxefefr rt»tg»b. There were no bullets, of course, nothing but the fela8rfj?^^ an1 tfusHroT small consequence in dealing with a large animtJ. .. / ^ - •- < "The noise stoppetfand I suggested that Qeorge . turn in while I kept watch.. George went to sleep and I sat / thisw ' .on a log near the fjre and.watched,tas moon slowly sinking, the sparks from the Are drifting away in a light breeze, and heard the purr and trickle of a little brook a few rods in front of the camp, and the rustle of the leaves on the. trees that came close up behind' our 'shack/ for we were on the very' edge of the clearing. It had been more than two hours since the beast had stopped his noice, and I was getting drowsy and' about ready to turn in myself, when close behind us, so near and sharp that it fairly, made my ..hair bristle, came that rasping screech again. This time it seemed as If I could hear a gurgling sort of a gasp after the yell was finished, as the animal took a quick breath. The moon had set and George was quite in the dark till he came out into the circle of light, roused instantly from his sleep. I was struck by the ghastly pallor of his face, as he no doubt was by mine if he took time to notice it. He ran to get his axe, stuck In a log close by, and I took up the gun and we both stood in front of the fire and waited for something to happen. "A few more of those yells, each one seemingly a little nearer, and I could endure it no longer. Plucking up a little courage, I stepped around behind the leanto and fired both barrels of the shotgun up into the air, thinking in that way to frighten away our tormentor. It seemed to have a contrary effect. Almost simultaneously with the discharge of the seconl barrel, with a short but awfully piercing yell, the brute jumped toward the place where I stood from his standing place, thirty or forty feet back in the bushes, and landed so near me that I only very dimly by the light of the fire actually felt on my face some of the dirt he kicked up when he-landed. The leap was so sudden and unexpected that I was, for the moment, paralyzed with fright and stood like a dummy, waiting for him to seize me, as I fully expected he would. I could see him behind me, for you know how one is bothered when going away from a light and looking at once into the darkness beyond. Within a few seconds my wits returned, and I made a break for the protection of tho Are. leaving the cat crouched In the shadow back of our camp. "A sudden inspiration led rap to think of a little bundle of nails we had brought to help build the shelter with. Hastily turning a big charge of powder into the right barrel, wadding it with a piece of lining from my jacketTJ_ then charged it with a good sized handful of those nails, rammed home another bit of cotton to hold them in place, and felt ready for a fight. The way that brute had jumped right up' into our camp had made me mad, a* soon as I recovered from the flrsL shock of it. and I thirsted for his blood, fully determined to put an end to his howling for good and all if he gave me. a chance. "Telling George to back me with his axe, I crept round the corner of the camp and, after looking for two 0* OUE BUDGET OF PUN three minutes, was able to make out the animal still crouching in the partial shadow of a maple tree. It was, df course, a foolish thing to do, for a miss would have brought a wounded panther right on top of us in a jiffy, but my blood was up and I could not wait another second, so drawing up the gun, I took a good aim at the outline^ in the shadow and pulled the trigger. "The recoil of the heavy charge almost knocked me over backward, and at first I could not tell what had happened. But the beast was "still lying in the same place when I looked, and. taking a burning stick from the fire, we both approached him with axes, ready. He was quite dead and that handful of nails had torn an ugly hole in his neck. "So I know, as I said before, that there have been panthers in Maine. That one was over seven feet from the tip of his tail to his nose, and his jump, when we came to look things over by daylight, must have been over 30 feet. "We. were too much excited to sleep any more that night, and the next, after skinning the panther, we had to go out to Madrid to tell the story and send the hide to a taxidermist. It came out in the discussion that followed our adventure that no panthers had been seen in that vicinity for more than 15 years, with the exception of one big one which had been caught in a trap the preceding spring by the farmer who lived the nearest to the /scene of our night combat."

VELDT 5 * A STORY OF THE BOER CAMPAIGN IN NATALXX^ Ey H. E Macaeozie I* J * CHAPTER I.' It was evening—a glorious evening, .such ftB only tropical countries know. The hot wind that had blown all day had now died down, and there was a great stillness; but a pleasant coolness in the air made it delightful after the sweltering heat. There had been no rain for a long time, and the ground was parehed and dry. Outside the pretty homestead the red sand of the veldt lay thick"and fine in the dry graas which covered the wagon track. But inside the grass looked green enough. Perhaps it had received, an artificial shower. All round the grassy lawn were flower beds, mostly of tropical flowers, among which the succulent blue lily raised its long, trumpet-shaped flowers; but there were a fov/ English flowers, too —stately hollyhocks, sweet-scented roses, queenly -dahlias. Beyond the lawn an avenue of bluegum and black nettle led to the veldt withemt. Behind the. house, which was built of stone, and looked quaint and pretiy with a veranda running round it, rose some of the highest peaks of the Drakensberg. A little to the left ran the river Klip. On this evening the sunf too ©ear its setting to be hot now, was shining right into the" sleepy brown eyes of a girl who lay full length in the shade of a gum-tree, a book on the grass beside her. Her head was supported by a plump little brown hand, and she was smiling a very happy, contented' smile, as if seme happy thought passed through her mind. * It was a pretty face, too, with its warmth and healthiness of coloring, u s softly-rounded, girlish contour, its smiling, half-open, red lips, its clear, open, chiimshly smooth forehead, over >vhich little curls of the brown haiT shot with ruddy gold came straying. The half-shut, smiling eyes were very soft and happy just now; but who could- say whether they might not some day be filled with burning passion, with blinding tears, or with the cold, set expression of despair? "Bluebell,, Bluebell! where are you, child?" ' • • ' . - The voice came across the little lawn, clear and distinct on the evening air; and the girl, rising up from her comfortable position, shook herself, very much as a wet spaniel n i g h t do after coming out of the water, and started at a quick run for the house. A tall, angular, spinster lady stood upon the doorstep. "What a head, child!" was the salutation. "Have you forgotten we arc to have company tonight?" —-n^etiv I do believe I had/'-retorted Scotland, who had emigrated to South Africa 10'years ago, was a man of middle age, heavily built, stout, and redfaced, with a heavy chin, a stubborn mouth, and a pair of rather cold gray eyes. But just now, his face was redder than UBual and there was a slight want of certainty in his gait as ho sprang from his horse that Bluebell colored to see. His companion, the "millionaire," was not at all what Bluebell had pictured him. He was an old man; he looked straight-backed and alert, and sat on his. horse with an air of negligence that showed him a true horseman. For the rest, Bluebell could see that he was somewhat dark in complexion, wearing a short little peaked beard; but she could not see his face distinctly. ' She went downstairs presently. Her sitting room was a pleasant apartment, with -skins of springbok and other wild animals covering the floor. A lamp burned on the table, on which a sumptuous supper was spread. The two men stood by the fireplace talking. As HraebeU entered her father turned. "Well, my girl, I'm back again, you see. Come and kiss me, Bluebell." The girl approached, and the other/f man on the hearthrug stared at the dainty white figure as Adam Leslie gave her & sounding kiss on the cheek. "Yen see I've brought a friend with me, Bluebell. Mr. Moore—my daughter; Bluebell.*" Mr. Moore bowed lo>^, Bluebell did the same. She did not offer her hand, as her frank custom would naturally have led her to do; she hardly knew why. "You wiTl remember your native country every time you address Miss Leslie," snid the millionaire, turning to his "host. Adam, Leslie laughed uproariously. Bluebell felt now quite sure that he had been drinking. He was usually a reserved, even taciturn man, 'stern enough towards his household'; but alcohol unloosed his tongue arid gave him a certain coarse frankness." "Quite right, quite right, Mr. Moore! It was her mother gave her the name— a romantic freak; but it serves its purpose here, and makes us remember the poor old 'mither' country." Miss Elizabeth came in presently, and they all sat down to the abundant supper. During the meal the two men talked, Mr. Moore quietly and gravely, in a somewhat rich, sonorous voice; Mr. Leslie with loud hilarity. Miss Elizabeth and Bluebell said very little, and the latter had a strange, uncomfortahle consciousness during the meal the girl. "Don't be angry with me, will you, auntie? Really I couldn't help-it. I'll never, never do it again. Now dad's going to bring. some one from Maritzburg, is he? Who i s it, auntie? Not anyone very great, I hope —Mr. Rhodes, for instance?" "Don't talk nonsense, childl*" returned Miss Elizabeth Leslie. "No., JIO! it's no one so great as that, only .same very rich man, I bolieve, who has made his money. at Kimberley or somewhere. Bat run away and dress yourself, child. I have a good supper ready, so I hope your father won't keep us waiting. He wished us to have dinner; but why should I? We don't call it dinner when we are alone, and why should we change our customs for strangers?" "Quite light, auntie dear." Bluebell patted her aunt's bony shoulder with a gentle hand. "Besides, lively enough he's some coarse, horrid man! They are always the kind that become millionaires. Ofi, rauirtte,* I hop"? rathe? won't make a great friend of him if he is!" "We shall soon see hfm, dearie, so there's no use thinking beforehand what his ways are," said Miss Elizabeth— she was always called Miss Elizabeth—soothingly. Bluebell ran upstairs t o her own room. It was a pretty", little room, not containing much furniture, but as dainty as feminine fingers could make i t Bluebell did.not spend all her time tying dreamily under, t&e gum-tree. She had just donned hei4 pretty>hite muslin frock, drawn in at the waist by a bine band—it was rather strange that Bluebell shottld smile and blush a little to- herself as she fastened the blue band—when the sound of horses' that the dark, slow-moving eyes of the millionaire turned again and again to her face. She knew not why the look made her shiver suddenly every time she met it all through her warm, Joyous heart and body. The two men talked politics, discussing the likelihood of Kruger's yielding to Britain's demands. "Give in? Not he!" cried Leslie loudly. "Well, the British know what to do next, that's one good thing. We'll sweep the whole race of them from the earth before we've done with them, or I'm mistaken, and it's what they deserve!" "If it comes to war, of course there can be no doubt as to which side will win," said "Miv- Moore, more quietly. "I suppose you have no friends among the Boers or Afrikanders, Mr. Leslie?" "Friends among such people?" cried TOr. Leslie. "Not very likely! I would not admit one of them into my house!" Bluebell spoke almost for the first time. Her -voice was just a little unsteady, as II emotion of some kind was stirring it, "Yon don't always speak like that, father. I am sure we. have never received anything but kindness from any of the Dutch with whom we came in contact And. besides, there's a good deal to be said for their desire to rule their own republic in their own way. How would we like oyer in the old country if foreigners came and settled down among ns—Frenchmen or Germans— and compelled us to conform to their customs? They are only like their brave focefathers la the time of William the Sileat." Her father interrupted her with a loud laugh. hoofs galloping mp the avenue drew "Doctor Rothes has provided you her attention. She- ran to the window,) **th Qui*e * number of arguments. hiding behind the window-curtains. . Presently two. riders emerged from the avenue, and rode up the graveled path to the house. Bluebell could see them-dlitlnctly. The first was her father. Bluebell knew him well enough not to require did take a second look. t Adam Leslie, Etefc; <tf TinJaverstoclc, Elizabeth's Die. "who Doctor Rothes is?" "A young Englishman over at Ladysmith," replied Mr. Leslie carelessly. "We have him here sometimes. A very clever young fellow—quite exceptionally clever; but Just,a little quixotic, you know, as young fellows are apt to be." "Just so; I understand," said Mr. Moore quietly. He glanced at Bluebell without appearing to do so, and saw that the healthy rose in her cheeks had deepened almost imperceptibly in tint, and that her long lashes drooped over and demurely hid her eyes. The millionaire was to stay at New Kelso—thus Mr. Leslie had named his farm in memory of the Scottish town near which he had lived—ali night. Bluebell did not feel nearly as hospitable as usual. Now Kelso was a lonely enough place, being about twelve miles from La.dysmith, the. nearest village, and the womenfolk sometimes saw no outsider for the space of many months; they were, therefore, all the more disposed to make the most of any stray one who did appear. But Blubell did not feel that Gerald Moore was going to be any acquisition She had a vague, groundless dread of him, as if his presence denoted danger. "I don't like him," she said to herself. "And yet why should 1« not? He has done nothing to make me dislike or distrust him." Down-stairs the two men were sitting together at the table, a decanter of Scotch whisky and two glasses between them. They had been speaking In low tones; but how, .as the whisky began to take effect, Leslie raised his. "You are a generous man, Moore!" he cried. "And you are in earnest when you tell me that this is the sole return you ask for your extraordinary generosity?" , "The sole return," Moore replied. He raised his hands to his lips, and kept it there for a moment; then, dropping it to his glass, which had stood full beside him all the time, though Leslie had replenished his several times, he added slowly: "But I must have that return, Mr. Leslje—that and no other. I have set my*mind, upon it."- Bluebell. But politics are quite outside a woman's'sphere, my girl, so I advise you not to take them up. Eh, Mr. Moore, isn't that so?" "I think Miss Leslie would even make a convert of me," said the millionaire, bowing gallantly. Again CHAPTER II. It was a week later. Bluebell had gone to Ladysmith, riding across the dry, open veldt by the wagon-path on her sure-footed little horse Rover. She was a capital horse-woman, and" nothing daunted her when in the saddle. It was a very hot day, and there were signs of coming rain, which made Bluebell hurry.... Her path lay across the dry veldt. Coarse, parched grass and withered shrubs made it look like a desert. The road was a bad and nanrow one. It swelled and undulated like an ocean, now dipping down into a hollow, now rising to the height of a little green-covered kopje. Sometimes she rode close to the river, which seemed almost dry now, so long had been the drought; and always she --kept-m sight of-the great—frowning peaks of Drakensberg, above which eagles and vultures circled in their sky-piercing flight. Bluebell had messages at Ladysmith, but it was not of her messages she was thinking as she neared her destination. She was close to it at last. She saw the little town nestling, as it seemed in the distance, almost at the bottom of Bulwaan, though in truth separated from ft by wide stretches of meadow lands, with the Klip winding Its course through them. Now she passed numerous kopjes of red earth, interspersed with shrubs, between which grew abundance of flowers, white jasmine and climbing convolvulus, and the rich glory of red and yellow bloom clustered thickly on the low, dwarf shrubs which covered the kopjes. Bluebell had acquaintances in Ladysmith. The. Leslies were pretty well known in the cquntry. She was just t u r n i n g - i n t o the town when some one emerging from behind a sudden curve came towards her. Bluebell started a little and stooped over Rover, a richer color than exercise had brought there coming into her cheeki. In a few seconds the new comer was close to her, and lifting his big gray hat from his head, paused by her horse. He was a young man, perhaps nearing thirty, attired in gray khaki, and with a sunburnt face which showed that he was exposed to all weather. For the rest, he had been originally a fair-complexloned man, with good features and &n open, frank expression. His dark gray eyes were clear and steady, but could look wonderingly soft and tender* They did so now, though his expression was one of much anxiety as he held out his hand, into which Bluebell put. hers without a word.

It is curious to note how many of the men who are now at.the war are better known by their nicknames than by the names to which they were born, says the London Mail. All the world over Lord Roberts is well known as "Bobs," chiefly so through Rudyard Kipling; while Lord Kitchener of Khartoum is seldom among his intimates known as anything but "K. of EC." Col. Baden-Powell, who has been popular all his life, was known at Eton as "old Bathing Towel;" Col. Byron, who is A. D. C. to Lord Roberts, is known as "the Strong Man;" Maj. Orr- Ewing, who commands the Warwickshire Yeomanry, and who married a sister of. the Duke of Rosburg, is called "the Weasel;" Capt. Peel is known ,as^ "Monkey;" Capt. Milligan, one of the smartest young men, as the "Canary;" Capt. Seymour Fortescue as "the Commodore;" while Mr. Schomberg Mc-j Donnell, who was Lord Salisbury's sec- I retary, but gave up the position on go- \ ing to the war, is known to every ono as "Pom." Mr. Hugo de Bathe is best known as "Sugar;" Capt. Lawson and Capt. Eagot Chester, who are often to- \ gether, are known as "Bubble and Squeal:;" and Sir Cloud de Crespigny | is known as Creepy." Even the Duke of Marlborough, great man as he is, is called "Sonny" by those who know him well, and the Duke of Westminster is known as "Ben d'Or." Last, but not least, the Duke of Cambridge, who was at one time head of the war office, on account of his connection with the public parks, is known as "George Ranser." —— y -- -- Ar» To* tfetoe; It is the only cure for Swollen, 8martini.

A party of palu fishers are ready to set out from the little island of Nanomaga, the smallest, but most thickly populated of the Ellice group, saya Chamber's Journal. The night must be windless and moonless, tfce latter condition being absolutely indispensable, although, curiously enough, the fish will take the hook on an ordinary starlight night. Time after time have I tried my luck with either a growing or a waning mcon, much to the amusement of the natives, and never once did I get a palu, although other nocturnal feeding fish bit freely enough, notably a monstrous species of sea perch, called Iaheu. The tackle used by the natives is made of cocoanut sennit, four or eight stranded, of great strength, and capable of holding a fifteen- foot shark, should one of these prowlers seize the bait The hook is made of wood—in fact, the same as is used for shark fishing—about one inch and a half in diameter, fourteen inches in the shank, with a natural curve, the barb, or rather that which answers the purpose of a barb, being supplied by a small piece lashed horizontally across the top of tne end of the curve.

Sylvester Gilbert Noble was one of a distinguished family, whoso m«m bers have been conspicuous in civil, military and cdmm«rcial life. He was the son of Elnatban Noble, who was a native of New Haven, Conn where he occupied a position of influence and honor and posessed .at one time considerable wealth His eldest brother was Butler G. Nohle an officer in the U. S. Custom House tor 30 years and Governor of Wiscon in during the civil war and then Harbour master at N. Y. for sevaral years His youngest brother Herman C. Noble was a member of State Legislature in 1848 Sylvester was born on March 12, 1819, in Geneva N Y where his fathers memory is revered as the founder of Hobart College. In 1831 when 12 years old he uame with his father and the rest of the family to Michigan and settled in this township which his father named Unadilla, after a pretty village of that name on the Susquehanna River N. Y. On their settlement here the county presented a very different a p - pearance from what it does at present. There was but one family in the. township Ajaos Williams and no neighbors near. Indians still roamed through the woods, and bears, wolves, and deer abounded and the only roads were Indian trails. Mr, Nobles life has been one of interesting adventure many incidents in it having a tinge of the romatic about them. At the age of 17 he starfed in life for himself without means and without friends except those he made. He went to Clevland Ohio, and engaged for thr*e years in the building of thn Stale Aqueducts. After visiting Chiliicotb, Cincinnati and St. Louis he returned home and settled on the farm. He could not content himself Jbovvever with the routine of farm work, but ere long was. engaged in the structure of the Mich. Central railroad from Dexter to Jackson. The spirit . of adventure stirred strong within him. He left home on March 10, 1849 for California by the overland route being one of the cornpany known as the "Wolverine Rangers' 1 numbering 67 men with 18 wagons 54 yoke of oxen and many cows and horses. ., The march over land was very diferent from the pleasant rapid railroad journey. It was tediousome, occupying 6 months. Mr, Noble -left—tto company and with one companion took ponies, provisions and started on in advance, the first night the Indians stole their ponies leaving them with their heavy packs to pursue the journey on foot; their suffering during that toilsome march wa? something,terri1 le; the desire for water was so great as to cause perfect agony. After a weary march of 500 miles on the 10 of Oct. the eyes of the starving travelers were gladdened with the sight of the SacraraenfvValley. On arriving in the Golden State they went into the mines and Mr. Noble had the good fortune to open one of the richest veins discovered by his party. After en ?aging for a time in mining he went to San Francisco orrfoot and engaged in various sorts of work, then be came home by way of the Isthmus and during the journey spent 3 weeks on the water in a dead calm, Coleridge PO beatifully describes iu the Ancient Matiner. Landing in Central America he camo thence to New Orleans and from there to Mich, and settled on the old homestead. He^hus passed through aseries of stirring adventures which it is given to few 10 experience. In 1841 Mr, Noble was united in Marriage Oct. 14 to Charlotte Eleanor Montague born in Catskill N. Y. Mar. 28. 1820 daughter of Luke and Eunice Montague, to whoiu were boin 2 children who both died in infancy. On his return from Cal. Mr. Noble devoted himself to farm work in this town ship and spent a long lahoi'ous and active life. He was possessed of many excellences of character and took an interest in all that concerned the welfare of the community, fle was held in high esteem by aH who fcnew him -and now God- in bis Providence bas 8ent JiidSPfi81, t 0 c&li<*fcim away i V o f f r W p M n ill I In n-lvlnced * • * Buffalo, N. Y., March —. The Service Building of the Pan- American Exposition, to be held a t Buffalo, N. Y., on the Niagara Frontier, from May 1st to November 1st, 1901, was the first building of the Exposition to be erected and is used by the corps of officials and employees having direct charge of the constructive work of the Exposition. The bulldingT^wnlch is situated on the west side of the grounds, is 95x145. It is in the form of a hollow square, having two stories on Its exterior facades and three stories on the court side. The entrance, which is in the form of a driveway, faces the north and communicates directly with the Inner court. Part way down this entrance, and(from each side, extend the main corridors. That on the right leads to offices and apartments to be used for police headquarters and hospital service, including the rooms lor the use of the Commandant of Polico Station, the Chief of the Fire Department, medical waiting room, drug supplies, offices for a surgeon and his assistants and an operating room. The hospital has a porte cochere entrance for ambulance and emergency purposes. The other portions of the first floor are taken up by a large room for the officers and clerks who have charge of the admissions and collections, and the auditing of accounts; these rooms [being fitted with flre-prpof vaults. The working office of the Director of Wqrks, with his private office and •tenographer's room, offices for the landscape Architect, the Superintendent of Building Construction, Purchasing Agent, Chief Engineer, Mechanical and Electrical Engineer, and accommodations for the officers having charge of Transportation and Installation, Exhibits and Concessions, are arranged to carry on the business efithese Departments. On the second floor Is the largo idraughtfng room; used by the force of architectural draughtsmen. This Department has separate offices and draughting rooms, with a large vault for valuable drawings. On this floor are the sleeping apartments of the Director of Works and the Chiefs of tho various Bureaus, comprising the Department of Works. Here also are numerous apartments for such of the employees as the nature of their duties requires to Be continuously at the Exposition grounds. A kitchen and dining room, apartments for the janitor ^ and-hospital nurses, and several guest chambers are provided on this floor. The top floor of the building has additional apartments, a large blueprinting room for the use of the Architects and Engineers Departments,.and the operating rooms for the " Official Photographer of the Exposition. The building has a cellar. Frame construction has been used throughout. The studs are covered on the inside with composition board and sheathed on the outside with hemlock planks, which are covered with cement plaster, tne final finish having the appearance of stucco. ' The ornamental work. Including the flag standards, flnials, festoons, etc., are of staff. The roof Is covered with Spanish tile of iron. The building is in its architecture a free adaptation of the Spanish Renaissance, such as .is shown In old Californian and Mexican missions and churches. This stylo was followed as closely as the requirements and exigencies of arrangement for light and space necessary in a first class working office allowed. / • The building was erected ready for occupancy in 32 working days. age of 91 jeeftYafrfi 6 weeks.

The most nauseous physic may be given to children without trouble by letting them such a pepper-mint lozenge, a piece of alum, or a bit of orange peel. Many people make the mistake of giving a sweet afterward to take away the disagreeable taste; it is far better to- destroy it -in the -first instance. Muslin dresses very often become creased before they are. really dirty enough to require washing. In this case they should be treated as follows: Spread the dress^out on a wooden table or ironingboard, and damp* It thoroughly all over with starch applied with a piece of sponge. This should be perfectly clean. Then iron it carefully, taking care the iron is not too hot, and when finished, hang it before the fire to dry. It should not on any account be folded The best way is to damp one part of the dress with the starch, iron it, and then go on to another piece.

I received a letter from Canada saying, "Is the elder son of the parable so unsympathetic and so cold that he is not worthy.of recognition?" The fact is thalL-'we' a s S did not appreciate the home blessings which he had •• all those years. He was disobedient, for. when the father told htm to come in he staid out He was a liar,for he said that the recreant son had devoured his father's living, when the father, so far from being reduced to penary, had a homestead left, had instruments of music, had jewels, had a mansion, and instead of being a pauper, was »< prince. This senior brother, with eo many faults of his own, was merciless in hie criticism of the younger brother. The only perfect people that r have ever known were utterly obnoxious. I was never so badly cheated in my life as by a perfect man. He got so far up in his devotions that he was clear up abpve. all the rules of common honesty. These men that go about prowling among prayer meetings and in places of business, telling how good they are The war is now costing England $750 per minute. Diamond and gold mines come hi£h. Tho trouble with most men is that they have to die before they are fully e\4&r son of the parable. I could not ministers pursue the younger son., Yqu — - can hear the napping of his rags InT-i-look out for themj keep your hand m a n y * sermonic freeze and t h a ' o h your pocketbook! I have noticed cranching of the pods for which he- that just in proportion as a man gets was an unsuccessful contestant. I confess that it has been difficult for ine to train the camera obscura upon the appreciated. The Louisiana election was too onesided to make an inspection of the returns interesting. It is such an easy matter for the average woman to cry that there is no danger of her having water on the brain. Love is the wond,rous angel of life that rolls away all the stones of sorrow and suffering from the pathway of duty. Of things that are in our power are our opinions, impulses, pursuits, avoidances, and, in brief, all that is of our own doing. get a negative of the photograph. There was not enough light in the gallery, or the chemicals were too poor, or the sitter mov°<l in the picture. But now I think I have him, not a side face or a three-quarters or the mere, bust, but a full length portrait as he appears to me. The father in the parable of the prodigal had nothing to brag of • in his two sons. The one was a rake •and the other a churl. I find nothing admirable in the dissoluteness of the one, and I find nothing attractive In the acrid sobriety of the otber. The one goes down over the larboard side, and the other goes down over the starboard side, but they both go down. From all the windows of the old homestead bursts th2 minstrelsy. The floor quakes with the feet of "the rusgood he'gets humble. The deep Mississippi does not make so much noise as the brawling mountain, rivulet. There has been many a store that had more goods in the show window than inside on the shelves. -There- is-no wnsatd to be a a Irish" craze in England, but it probably goes no deeper than the buttonhole in which the shamrock is worn. The R « l N B l ? h t e o n » Mark This self-righteous*man of the test stood at tho corner of the house hugging himself in admiration. We hear a great deal in our day about the higher life. Now, there are two kinds\jf higher life men. The one is admirable, and tho other is most repulsive. The qne kind of higher life man. Is very lenient in his criticism of others, does not bore prayer meetings to death with long harangues, does not talk a great deal about himself, but much about Christ and heaven, gets kindlier and more gentle and more useful until one day his soul spreads a-wing, and he flies away to eternal rest, and everybody mourns whose dance.-Is alwa^-JdgorcuiaJ.-jl^s--ciep3rtUTe; T n c other --Wgher-Hfe A St. Louis undertaker advertises that he can furnish everything requisite for a first-class funeral. He is evidently a doctor as well as an undertaker. A pair that is without precedent in the memory of this generation of legislators was made on the vote for the Porto Rican bill in the senate. It is a venerable joke that a constituent once wrote to his member of congress that he was grieved to observe by the Record that he had been pairing with some one- of the opposite party. "If , y«» must pair," wnto^he-eonstftuerit,j and I suppose you cannot always be present to vote, can't you do it with some good man in our own party?" That kind of pair is cast in the shade by the arrangement whi<?h/ Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and Senator McEnery of Louisiana made. One is a Republican, the other is a gold Democrat. Each left his party on this issue. Republicans generally voted for and Democrats against the bill. Hoar was paired against the bill with Mc- Enery, who would, otherwise, have voted for the bill. Each was paired against his party. The membership of one of the colored churches of Pittsburg is composed chiefly of the Joneses. Until recently they have held all the offices, because when it came to a vote the Joneses all stuck together. The temporal affairs of the church are tinder control of a board of ei^ht trustees, *H-of^wbem were-Joneses. At the annual congregational meeting for the election of trustees the Jones' slate threatened to. cause a division la the church. The minority wanted a representation on the board. When the time for voting came one indignant member arose and said: "Fo's long's Ah can 'membah we'se —2laJi_nllffln, but Joneses in office en Ah link hits time fo* a change. Ah move dat we drop some ob de Joneses en •lect a layman." In the interest of peace one of the Joneses withdrew. A man of the name of Smith was fleeted and the minority was mollified. and resounding. The neighbors have heard of the return of the younger son from his wanderings, and they have gathered together. The house is full of congratulators. I suppose the, tables are loaded with luxuries, not only the one kind of meat mentioned, but its concomitants. "Clap!" go the cymbals, "thrum!" go the harps, "click!" go the chalices, up and down go the feet inside, while outside is a most sorry spectacle. Th« Senior 8<»n*K Anger. The senior son stands at the corner of the house, a frigid phlegmatic. He has just come in "from the fields in very substantial apparel. Seeing some wild exhilarations around the old mansion,he asks of a servant Vfe*3' Tn^By"^wTffili"glo^^kIn^r^l^oh_TiiIs_ shoulder what all the fuss is about. One would have thought that, on hearing that his younger brother had got back, he would have gone into the house and rejoiced, and. if he were not conscientiously opposed to dancing, that he would have joined the Oriental schottlsh. No.ethere he stands. His brow lowers; his face darkens; his lip curls with contempt. He stamps the ground with Indignation; he sees nothing at all to attract. The odors of the feast, coming out on the air, do not sharpen his appetite. The lively music does not put any spring into hfs step. He is in a terrible pout. He criticiseb the expense, the Injustice and the morals of the entertainment. The father rushes out bareheaded and coaxes him to come in. He will not go in. He scolds the father. He goes into a pasquinade against the younger brother, and he makes the most uncomely scene. He says, "Father, you I man goes around with a Bible conspicuously under his arm, goes from church to church, a sort of general evangelist, is a nuisance ito his own pastor when he is at home and a nuisance to other pastors when he is away from home, runs up to some man who is counting out a roll o*f bank bills or running up a difficult line of figures and asks him how his soul~4s,-makes religion a dose of ipec acuanha. Standing in a religious meeting making an address, he has a patronizing way, as though ordinary . Christians were clear_away down below him, so he had to talk at the top of his voice in order to make him hear; but at the same time encouraging them to hope on that by climbing many years they may after awhile" come up withTh sight of the place where-he now stands. I tell you plainly that a roaring, roistering, bouncing sinner is not-so repulsive to me as that higher life malformation. The former may repent; the latter-1 not droppod oo low in wassail, the pro- Students of municipal government had expected much of the proposed joint investigation of the municipal and private electric light industries •which was to be undertaken by the League of American Municipalities and the National Electric Light association. The league is, however, backward in doing its share of the work and the private Interests intimate it 18 because the advocates of the municipal ownership are afraid of the result. The facta, as stated by the Western Electrician, are that according to the agreement made at Syracuse last September each was.to pay one-half of the cost of the investigation. The lea, -e stipulated that its acceptance of V>e offer should be conditional upon it raising ita half of the necessary ft ''3 by special donation. The electn 'ight association has $2,600 ready, be ? its share of the money, but the W< >rn Electrician says the league put a premium on vagabondism, staid at home and worked on the farm. You never made a party for me; you didn't so much as kill a kid. That wouldn't have cost half as much as a calf; but this scapegrace went off in fine clothes, and he comes back not fit to be seen, and what a time you make over him! He breaks your heart and you pay him for it. That calf, to which we have been giving extra feed during all these weeks, wouldn't be so fat and sleek if I had known to what use you were going to put It. That vagabond deserves to be cowhided instead of banqueted. Veal is too good for him." That evening, while the younger son sat telling his father about bis adventures and asking about what had occurred on the place since, his departure, the senior brother goes to bed disgusted and slams the door after him. That senior brother still lives. Tou can sec him any Sunday, any day of the week. At a meeting of ministers in Germany some one asked the question, "Who is that elder son?" and Krummacher answered, "I know him; I saw him yesterday." And when they insisted upon knowing whom he meant he said, "Myself! when I saw the account of tne conversion of a most obnoxious man I was irritated." First, the senior brother of the text stands for the self-congratulatory .selfsatisfied, self-worshipful man. With the same breath in which he vituperates against his younger brother he utters a panegyric for himself. The self •righteous man of the taxt, like every other self-righteous. nta#, was full never getB over his Pharisaism. The younger brother of the parable came back, but the senior brother stands outeide entirely oblivious of his own delinquencies and deficlts.pronouncing his own eulogium. Oh, how much easier it is to blame others than to blame ourselves! Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent, the senior brother blamed the younger brother, and none of them blamed themselves. Again, the senior brother of my text stands for all those who are faithless about the reformation of the dissipated and the dissolute. In the very tones of his voice you can hear the fact that he has no faith that the reformation of the younger son is genuine. His entire manner seem&_to_say_: "That !>oy has come back for more money. He got a third of the property; now he has come back for another third. He will never be contented to stay on the farm. He will fall away. I would go in too and rejoice with the others if I thought this thing were genuine; but it is a sham. That boy is a confirmed inebriate and debauchee." Alas, my friends, for the incredulity in the church of Christ in regard to the reclamation of the recreant! You say a man has been a strong drinker. I say, "Yes, but he has reformed." "Oh," you say, with a lugubrious face, "I hope you are not mistaken; I hope you are not mistaken." You say: "Don't rejoice too much over his conversion, for soon he will be unconverted^ fear. Don't make too big a party for that returned prodigal or strike the timbrel too loud; and, if you kill a calf, kill the offe~thaTTs" on" the commons and not the one that has been luxuriating in the paddock." That is the reason why more prodigals do not come home to their father's house. It Is the rank Infidelity of the church of God on this subject. There is not a house on the streets of heave* that has not in it a prodigal ~ that returned and staid home. There could be unrolled before you a scroll of a hundred thousand names—the names of prodigals who came back forever reformed. Who was John Bunyan? A returned prodigal. Who was Richard Baxter? A returned prodigal. Who was George Whltefield, the thunderer? A returned prodigal. And I could go oat in all the aisles of this church today and tad tray for many years, have been faithful, and their eternal salvation is as sure as though they had been ten years in heaven. And yet tome of you have not enough faith l a their return. Greeting,th« Pro<H**L You do not know how to shake bands with a prodigal. You do not know how to pray for him. You do not know how to greet him. He wants to sail into the warm gulf stream of Christian sympathy. You are the ice« berg against which he strikes and shivers. You say he has been a prodigal. I know it, but you are the sour, unresponsive, censorious, saturnine, cranky elder brother, and if you are going to heaven one would think some people would be tempted to go to perdition to get away from you. The hunters say that if a deer be shot the other deer shove him out of their company, and the general rule is—away with a man that has been wounded with sin. Now, I say, the more bones a man has broken the raore^need ho has of an hospital, and the more a man has been bruised and cut with sin the more need he has to be carried into human and divine sympathy. But lor such men there is not much room come back after wandering. Plenty of room for elegant sinners, for sinners in velvet and satin and lace, for sinners high salaried, for • kidgloved and patent-leathered sinners, for sinners fixed up by hairdresser, pomatumed and lavendered and cologned and frizzled and crimped and "banged" sinners—plenty of room! Such we meet elegantly at the door of our churches and we invite them into the best seats with Chesterfleldian gallantries; we usher them into the house of God and put soft ottomans under their feet and put a gilt edged prayer book in their hands and pass the contribution box before them with an air cf apology, while thc?y, the generous souls,—tak© out—the exquisite porte- j monnaie and open it,and with diamond I finger push down beyond the $10 gold f pieces and delicately pick out as an I expression of gratitude their offering | td the Lord—of one cent! For such j sinners plenty of roam.plenty of room, i But for the man who has been drink- j ing until his coat is threadbare, and his face Is erysipelased. and his wife's wedding dress is in the pawnbroker's shop, and his children, instead of being in school, arc out begging broken bread at the basement doors—of the city—the man, body, mind and soul on fire with the flames that have leaped from the scathing, scorching, blasting, blistering, consuming cup which the drunkard takes, trembling and agonized and affrighted, and presses to his parched lips, ami—his cracked tongue and his shrieking yet Immoral spiritno room.

Be not so hard in your criticism of the fallen lest thou thyself also be tempted. Do you know who that man was who Sabbath before last staggered up and down the aisle in a church, disturbing the service until the service had to stop until he was taken from the room? He was a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in a sister denomination! That man had preached the gospel, that man had broken the bread of the holy communion for the people. From what a height to what a depihL Ohr-I- was glad-there was no smiling in the room when that man was taken out, his poor wife following him, with his hat in her hand and his coat on her arm! It was as solemn to me as two funerals—the funeral of the body and the funeral of the soul. Beware, lest tlwu also be tempted! An invalid went to South America for his health and one day sat sunning himself on the beach when he saw something crawling up the beach, wriggling toward him, and he was affrighted. He thought it was a wild beast or a reptile, and he took his pistol from his pocket. Then he saw it was not a wild beast. It was a man, an immortal man, a man made in God's own image, and the poor wretch crawled up to the feet of the invalid and asked for strong drink, and the invalid took his wine flask from his pocket and gave the poor wretch something to drink, and then under the stimulus he rose up and gave his history, lie had been a merchant in Glasgow, Scotland. He had gone down under the power of strong drink until he was so reduced Sn poverty that he was living in a boat just off the beach. "Why," said the Invalid, "I knew a merchant in Glasgow once, a merchant of such and such a name." And the poor wretch straightened himself and said, "1 am that man."

Half a dozen distinct tornadoes occurred in central Kansas on the afternoon of the 6th, following a day of ex- P ceedingly high temperature. Two people are known to have been killed and three injured. Wires were blown down in the different districts, making it impossible to accurately sum up the damage done. The tornado formed a few miles south of Ellinwood and passed over the west portion of the city. At the Cheyenne bottoms, six miles north, it divided in- siardrffeTcrit directions and destroyed a great amount of property.

The war department has just issued a complete table of casualties in the 5th army corps in the operations against Santiago, from June 22 to July 17, 1898. The losses are: Killed, 21 officers, 222 enlisted men;' wounded, 101 officers, 1,344 enlisted men; total, 1,688. The 7th regular infantry lost the greatest number of men, i t s killed and wounded numbering 132. Gen. Funston has discovered a rebel warehouse near Cabanutan, province of New Egjja, containing all the archives of t h e Malolos government, Aguinaldo's correspondence up to the time of his, flight much valuable historical matter. The belief i s growing that Aguinaldo was killed by the Igorottes. There is no proof that he has been alive since Maj. Peyton C. March of the 33d srjegiment abandoned the chase after the Filipino leader in the Benquet mountains. An insurgent officer who recently surrendered to Gen. Young says that t h e insurgent general, Tinio, believes Auginaldo dead. Tinio held regular communication -with Aguinaldo until Dec. 28, since when he has heard nothing from him and Tinio thinks Aguinaldo would find means to communicate with him if alive. The insurgent archives discovered by Gen. Funston include papers implicating prominent foreign firms at Manila in unlawful dealings. I t is reported that evidence has been obtained that some of them^"furnished munitions of war to the rebels and it i s also said that the American authorities are in possession from this source of a detailed plan for attacking the American forces, written by Aguinaldo, in the Tagalog language, January D, 1809, and traiislated into Spanish by Buencamino. No correspondence from the so-called antiimperialist party of the United States was found.

CONGRESSIONAL N O T E S . ) • • President Mclyinley is said to have forced an agreement between the house and senate conferees on t h e amendment to the Puerto Rican bill on April 30. Senator Foraker had previously refused point blank to accept the Cooper amendments, which were designed to prevent the exploitation of the island by mortgage syndicates and franchise grabbers. The conference was easily the most earnest and animated meeting which the house and senate conferees had held. Puerto Rico will have to get along for some months to come with her present military rulers, but the island is reasonably safe from the schemes of exploitation that were formed while the Foraker civil government bill was being framed.

Sutton and the" latter*s attorney,u Elliott G. SteveDSCn, no mention of which was made in the Marsh trial, because of a desire to keep them in the background for thia-trial»-o* because ahey wouldnot have been admissible as against Marsh. The conversation with Sutton related in part t o an effort to get Smith to leave the city so as to escape the gratifi Jury, a n * in part to the alleged plan af sailing a npecial session of the Legislature for t h e purpose of impeaching {Judge Person and Prosecutor Tuttle and theseay patting an end to the grand jury. CoL Smith started in with a continuation of his story as to the sale of the military stores on hand and the purchase of others. The defense early objected t o his telling of conversations w i t h ^fhite in the absence of Sutton, and Judge Wiest stated to the jury that this evidence was admitted on the understanding that the prosecutor was t o show a conspiracy with which Sutton w a s eonaected before completing the case; otherwise all this testimony was to be excluded and not considered by the jury. It was in August that White told Smith that Sutton and Marsh were connected with him In'the military deal, and the "wTtness told of b i s visit t o White's office on Sept. 12, a couple of hours before he was married, a n d h o w White called him back a a h e w a s tearing t h e office and handed him a check for $600, saying that i t was a wedding gift from Marsh, Sutton and himself, each sharing equally.

The weekly crop bulletin of the Michigan weather service says that generally the week has been frosty and dry. Very light showershaveoeeurred in scattered localities and a wet snow in some others. Cold drying winds prevailed during most days and heavy frosts on the last three nights of the week. Fortunately vegetation was not far enough advanced so that much damage would result. In a few cases damage t o strawberries is reported, but so far as known at present-no damage was done to fruit. It has been too dry for rye and clover to make much progress, although some improvement is noticable. Wheat continues in very poor condition and many farmers.are plowing it up. The dry weather has been favorable_ta the spread_of forest fires, which have prevailed extensively and done considerable damage during the past 10 days. Field work has progressed steadily. Oat seeding is Bearing completion in most counties of the lower peninsula and is quite generally begun in the upper peninsula. In the extreme southern couuties oats have germinated nicely, but generally -the weather is too cold for much growth. Pastures have improved so that considerable stock has been turned out. Detroit Track Drivers Strike. The trouble between the truck drivers and the Detroit Cartage association, comprising all the cartage companies in Detroit, was brought to a head on the 8th, wnen the 33 teamsters employed by the Ferguson company quit work. As soon as this was made known to the other companies their men were ordered to take out trucks to assist the Ferguson people in delivering freight. The men refused to obey and all the companies brderedlthe trucks back to the barns, locked the barns and the men were temporarily out of a job. This was in accordance with the association's program, of which the employes had received due notice. The strikers immediately notified the merchants that they wohld move everything from the freight house with their own teams. The cartage companies- saythatTIT wilT be~impos8ible for the strikers to handle freight of any bulk, whatever, as the trucks they have are mostly single and light ones. All other goods will be obliged to remain in the depot, and according t o an agreement signed by all the railroad companies last January after 24 hours' storage rates will be charged. • School Land for Sale. Sixty-five hundred acres of re-examination and re-appraised,primary school land were restored to market on the 10th by being offered at public auction at the state land affiee.

IThe Automatic Carpet Sweeper Co., which was established at Marine City a little over a year ago, will remove to Detroit. Farmers in the vicinity of Berrien Springs say that wheat will only be one-fourth of a crop this season. Many are plowing it up. A long, slender fly with yellow stripes across its back is doing much damage to buds in peach orchards in the vicinity of Benton Harbor. Fruit in Alcona county, if indications do not disappoint, will be the best crop in years. Wheat looks fair; much bet ter than last spring at this time. Miss Lottie Fetterhoff, of Reed City, had her hands and arms terribly burned by the igniting of gasoline by friction while she was cleaning a pair of gloves. The difference between the coal miners and operators in the Bay district are all settled and the men have gone to work. The compromise rate is 93 cents a ton. At a special election in Capac it was decided to purchase a chemical engine and accessories, at an expense of $2,- 300. At present the town has no fire protection. - Wheat and clover fields are looking very poorly in Jackson county. Wheat has mostly been killed by insects and clover was badly heaved by the early thawing and freexing.

Clarence M. Wolfe and Geo. W. Piggott* employes in the water office, are under arrest charged with participating in the conspiracy which i t is said has been going am for over five years. It i s alleged that Wolfe and Piggott were caught in the act of changing the dial of a water meter i n the Ranier hotel The detectives say the alteration was part of the scheme by which the fraud was operated, During the past two months t w o city detectives have stood in a room seven feet square in the basement of the Ranier hotel, looking through narrow peep holes in a 14-inch brick wall and watching for evidence.

"Rumors? I haven't heard any," she sajd. "What are they. Doctor Rothes?' "You haven't heard?" He had not released her hand, and was holding it very closely now. "They say that the Boers are marching into Natal." "Oh!" Bluebell uttered a little cry, and the rosy color faded out of her face. "Is it war, then?' "I suppose so," Rothes answered gravoly. "It seems Kruger has as good as declared war by sending a message to England demanding, that our troops should be Immediately recalled from South Africa." Bluebell sat very still on her horse, her hands clasped; Rothes had at last withdrawn his.. "Will thev come to Ladysmith?" she whispered at last. Rothes nodded. "That is what is expected. We shall be besieged.- The inhabitants are beginning to fly already, and I expect-in a few days Ladysmith will be deserted except by | the garrison," "And you, what will you do?" Bluebell asked. There was a little quiver in her voice, which seemed to send a swift thrill of mingled joy and pain to Rothes* very soul. "I shall remain here, of course," he answered, trying to speak Jn his usual tone. "Unless there is fighting outside. If there is I shall go with the army." , Bluebell was silent for a moment, and then she said: "You will be on our side, of course?" "I will be with the British army," Rothes answered quietly, "but, thank heaven, a doctor's business is not to fight on any particular side, or to slay _ his brother, but to do what he can for those who are wounded and dying on either side. But you are going into the town, Miss Leslie? I must not keep_you." "I have messages," salcTBtuebell; "but I will not wait long, as I am going back alone.'.' "May I go a bit of the way with ymi?A Rothaa asked eagerly. "I do not like the idea of you riding those twelve miles alone with the country in this unsettled state." Her- soft eyes fell suddenly. Bluebell would hardly 'acknowledge to herself how her heart beat and her vein* thrilled at the proposal. "Thank you," she said the next moment. "It is kind of you. I shall leave^ the town about three, I think." "Then I shall be here at that time," he answered. "Good-bye, just now." And he moved away. ( Bluebell rode on into the town. The terrible tidings had shocked and horrified her, but she was not frightened. There was little fear in'Bluebell Leslie's nature, small and childish and fragile as she looked. And she was a woman; and-the4ook in Adair, Rothes' eyes, the close, warm clasp of his hand, occupied her thoughts almost more than this terrible picture of war. She found Ladysmith In a state of confusion. Many of the shops were shut. But Bluebell managed to get her business done, and then went to see one of her acquaintances. She found her busy preparing for departure. "I suppose it's safer to go," said Mrs. Lloyd, a pretty little English woman, whose husband was an engineer. "Ted insists on my going; but I don't feel as if I could leave him here alone." "You are going and Mr. Lloyd Is startled eyes, and then: "Oh, Nellie, how can you?" "I would .not, of course, if I had only myself ft oqnsider," said -Mrs. Lloyd, the ^ars,.springing .to her eyes; "bnt there is my poor Utile baby, Bluebell." "What of-that?" said Bluebell. "A wlfe/a .place. ,la. besida her, husband, surely? Better you should both die together, if the worst comes, than that you should be separated. Nellie, how would you feel if anything happened, to your husband and yon so far away?" Nellie burst into tears. "Yes, you are quite right, Bluebell. . I held out against Ted ever so long, arid, now that ^ypusneaj like that, I feel that I have been very cowardly to gif e in to him. No, I won* golV' was thoroughly made up, after a little, and the two friends kissed each other, with the feeling that they might never meet again on earth. Bluebell kept back her own tears, and answered the little woman as bravely as she could, but as she rode out of the town her path was all blurred by the blinding tears that came to her eyes now. Doctor Rothes was waiting for her, mounted on a fine cnesnut horse of Ills own, and together they rode on itf silence until they were out of sight of the town. "You saw one of your friends?" Rothes said at last. "Yes. I saw Mrs. Lloyd. She is going to stay at Ladysmith even if it Is besieged." "Brave little woman!" said Rothes, a tone of emotion in-his voice. "I always thought her rather a butterfly, and I beg her pardon mentally for that." "In fact, you thought she and I were very much alike?" said Bluebell, with a little tone of coquetry. "Confess now you think me that, too, don't you, Doctor Rothes?" "I never thought you anything but—" , He was speaking with a sudden passion, bnt he suddenly checked himself and paused. "You know you are not justified in speaking like that," he said at last gravely. "Did I ever give you reason to do so?" Bluebell laughed a little. "Do you remember the bail at Maritzburg last spring, Doctor Rothes? Ah, you didn't approve of me at all then!" He remembered it quite well. It was the first time he had met the Leslies, for he had been practicing in Maritzburg himself then. Bluebell's wild, childishly high spirits had carried her away that night, and she had flirted indiscriminately with all the officers then stationed at Maritzburg. Bluebell remembered it, too. "Who is that grave-looking young man gazing so strangely at me?" she asked her partner, a gay young lieutenant. "Do you think he wants an introduction, or is he only trying to wither me with a glance of his eye?'' "The latter, I think," the lieutenant had answered, more truthfully than CHAPTBRni; He rode forward And lifted his hat, putting his horse in Bluebell's way so that she could not pass. Bluebell tancifid his face was paler than usual; but his deep, slowly-moving eyes did not move from her face. "Your father has sent me to meet you, Miss Leslie," he said in his rich, deep tone. "We. have heard that the Boer army has crossed into Natal, and is marching straight on Ladysmith. It is not safe for you to be alone on the veldt" "I am not alone, thank you, Mr. Moore," said the girl, a touch of defiance In her tones. "Doctor Rothes"— she turned towards Adair—"has kindly been seeing me home. He had heard the news you refer to." She was struck by the look on Gerald Moore's face as he turned to Rothes. There was.an almost diabolical expression upon it; but it passed away so quickly that she could not have sworn to it. "I presume that Dr. Rothes will not object to handing you over to my charge now that you are within three miles of New Kelso?" he said. It seemed to Bluebell there was an undercurrent of either menace or defiance in his voice. She glanced Into Rothes' face. He sat very stiff and very erect on his horse, his face turned towards the other man. Bluebell had never—not even that night of the Maritzburg ball —seen so stern and cold a look upon his face as that which froze it at this moment The expression startled her still more now. Was it possible these two men knew each other?" "I leave the matter entirely in Miss Leslie's hands,' he said gravely. "If she thinks I have come far enough, I am quite prepared to return to Ladysmith. Moore looked at Bluebell. "You had better come with me, MiS3 Leslie, and allow Dr. Rothes to re- ] turn home," he said; then added in a lower tone: "Your father is not quite himself today. Perhaps you would not care to have a stranger at New Kelso under the circumstances." Not quite himself! That decided Bluebell. Not for worlds would she have Adair Rothes, whose good opinion she felt so strangely reluctant to lose, see her own father in a halfintoxicated condition, and that was evidently what Moore's words implied. Adam Leslie had always been a little apt to exceed, but it was only of late—within the last six months—that his daughter had noticed i t And it seemed to her, since the coming of Gerald Moore that her father had CHltfACROUfc MAN Woald Hot A Columbus avenue car was bowling merrily up Broadway the ofcner night when a fat elderly lady rose and signalledrto. the conductor. He rang the bell, and the woman proceeded to exe-, cnte a masterly, Cakewalk down the car. Just as she bad covered half the distance to the door an exceptional bit of playfulness on the part of the gripman gave a -phenomenal corkscrew', movement to the ear'and brought the woman's triumphal progress to a sudden halt She stood staying and tottering\ \~' tm~^ before a red-cheeked, pleasant-faced man who was absorbed in an evening paper. As he paused in his reading to refold his paper, he caught sight of the wabbling figure that loomed up above him, and wadding his paper into a hopeless state, he sprang hastily to his feet "Take this seat, madam," he said. "Oh, no, thank you," said the woman, reeling and clutching at the strap. "But I insist." "Really, sir, you are very kind, but " "I couldn't think of allowing a lady to, stand." "But I " she began feebly. The man was losing his temper. "Sit down," he said, still polite, but now stern. "But, sir, I " He took her by the shoulders and firmly, though gently, put her in his vacant place. [ The other passengers laughed. The conductor grinned and rang the bell. The gripman started the car, which had stopped at the crossing. The polite and "magerfui" man expanded his chest and beamed self-approval. "But, please, sir, I wanted to get out," walled the fat woman in helpless protest As the car stopped again she struggled to her feet and made for the door, looking apprehensively at the chivalrous man, who dived' into his old seat and went into eclipse behind his paper.— New York Sun.

Takes life like a funeral, and believes one should go to church twice on Sundays. That kind of thing, don't you know." Rothes' sunburned face had deepened just a little in tint. "It Is toor bad to bring back those old foolishnesses to one's memory," he said. "I did not know you then, Miss Leslie^ I had not seen you Jn your home. I did not know you earned the love and devotion of the poor natives on your father's place. I did not know you taught them, as far as was possible, not the mere profession of Christianity, but its practice." Bluebell bent a little over her horse's head. "1 am afraid I ought to teach myself that first, Doctor Rothes. Charity begins at home. But let us. not speak of this. We can't be anything but friends, can we^adth this terrible danger facing us? Surely it will draw all European people out here closer together if anything could?" "Yes," said Rothes quietly, " we cant be anything but friends." Bluebell felt vaguely hurt at the cold words. They rode on, the horses* necks quite close together, and Rothes talked of the coming ordeal. ~ Bluebell felt somehow strangely disappointed. The last time she had met Adair Rothes he had held her hand long, and looked into her eyes with a look that had made every vein in her body thrill; and now he was so_cool and indifferent—a friend, as he had said, and nothing more; It was not that Bluebell was in remaining?" «claimeo\ Bluebell,'wlth|love with h im; She told.herself about a dozen times a day that she liked Adair Rothes very much, but could never ix»agine him as a lover; yet now, why this sinking of her heart? It was drawing towards sunset—a glorious sunset The whole Of the sky died in crimson and gold, the very veldt reflected the crimson, so that it looked a* if it were bathed In blood. Bluebell shuddered as she thought that very soon ft might be. A kopje was before them, one oi those little hills rising steeply from the one side, sloping from the other, so common on the Natal veldt Suddenly, as Bluebell looked towards i t a figure on horseback emerged from behind it, afid came riding straight towards them. Bluebell felt a thrill of annoyance Bluebell left her friend, whose mind-f and aversion run through her, for she recognised the rider at once. It the millionaire, Gerald Moore. weakness. "Perhaps you had better not come any further, Doctor Rothes," she said, in a low voice. "If Mr. Moore is going to New Kelso, of course he may as well ride with me; but I would just as soon go by myself. I am not a bit afraid." Rothes took off his hat and held out his hand. For one minute, only one, their horses were close together, and Moore's was so far apart as to render him out of earshot at leasts of a whisper. -— "Good-by," said Rothes, hurriedly and a little hoarsely. "I don't know when I may see you again. God only knows I pray that He may guard and keepjjpu from danger!" He bent a little nearer, and added in a whisper: "As you value your safety and happiness, beware of that man. I entreat of you to do so. He is a dangerous man. I cannot say more. Good-by— good-by." The clasp of his fingers on her hand was to remain there for many days. He rode off, raising his hat, and a strange sense of desolation and loneliness fell upon Bluebell., She turned Rover's head and rode on, not glancing at Moore. Adair's words still rang in her ears. "So that is Doctor Rothes?" said Moore, giving his horse a little cut of the whip that sent him springing on beside Bluebell/ •*Yes," she said, looking straight into his face. "Do you know him?" "I had the pleasure of meeting him once in Maritzburg," said the millionaire dryly; "but, Miss Leslie, I wish to talk of something else just now. Your father has given me leave to do so. What do you think has kept me all this time lingering about this district?" Bluebell shook her ruddy brown head. A feeling of vague discomfort and uneasiness shot through her at the question; but not in her wildest guesses could she have arrived within a mile of the truth. Gerald Moore went on slowly: "The country will soon be in a ferment; existence in it will be dangerous, unsafe. For men this does not matter so much; for women, especially those"—he paused and added impressively—" whom we love, it is terrible not to be thought of. Your father wishes you to go put of the country while yet there is time." (To be continued.) TYPEWRITER EXPERTS. Doubt as to tbe UteTalnMS of Their Testimony. While it is generally admitted that in some cases of a simple nature the opinion of a typewriter expert may be of advantage in settling a question of doubt, there is an impression among many members of the "typewriting fraternity" that the ability of such experts is grossly overestimated. In as much, they argue, as typewriting consists merely of depressing keys which on a given machine strike-type of uniform shape and size, there can, as a rule, be found no trustworthy characteristics of the writer. "For any one," avers a veteran operator in this city, "however familiar he may be with typewriters and typewritingr to pick out the identical machine on which a certain document was written is abBOIntely Impossibly.. One might as well expect an all-round sewing-machine man to tell which of a hundred machines of the same make did a given piece of sewing. The work of a cheap, toy typewriter is, of course, easily distinguishable from that of a high-class I one, and the work of any one of the three or four models of typewriters in most common use also has characteristics. By a simple adjustment of the tension of a typewriter it is possible to disguise the work of a machine that even the most •"ywHm^ttg nrtngrvgr Shut not thy purse strings always against painted distress.—Lamb, would be unable to identify i t Much is due to the typewriter's adjustment and to the operator's fingering of the keyboard. No two persons typewrite exactly alike, yet it is a fact that the work of one operator, executed on a given machine at different times and under changed circumstances, often varies in appearance.—New York Sun.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom herd of Appedicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ?clion of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches.

England, sixty years ago introduced the new system of prepaying letter postage, and it was adopted by the U. S. about a year later. The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Anyone who has has an attack of sciatic or inflamatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement.

A famous artist is said to have replied to an inquiring visitor, when asked with what he mixed his colors, "With brains, sir!" A good rule for deciding the -height of a workbench is as follows:—Hang one arm naturally by your side, bend your wrist so as to cause your hand to be at right angles with your body. When standing thus the hand should pass Just underneath, the two-inch sjboard forming the top of the bench. The Victoria cross measures one inch and two-thirds square. The actual weight of the metal is 434 grains, Just three and one-half grains less than an ounce. Its instrinsic value is a penny, and it is illegaHn Great Britain for a pawnbroker to accept it as a pledge-under any circumstances. Henry W. Fisher, a New York author, has brought suit against George Barrie & Son. of Philadelphia, for refusing to publish, after agreeing to do so, a book entitled "The Private Lives of William II and His Consort," in which he gave some sensational details, said to be taken from diaries. Mr. Fisher indirectly accuses the Emperor of Germany of having caused the suppression of the book. r The attitude of the United States government in suggesting - mediation to England seems to resemble the hint of Jeremy Diddler in "Raising the Wind." "Have you such a thing as a shilling in your pocket?" he timidly asked his friend. "Yes, I have, and it will stay there, too." "I only wanted to know," said Jeremy, hastily. The United State's "only wanted to know," and found out quickly. Speaking of the late Maud S., it is said that every evening at about 10 o'clock, Mrs. Maud Carey, of New York, calls up her father, Captain George S. Stone, of Cincinnati, on the long-distance telephone, and bids him good night. Each message costs $3.50, but Captain Stone thinks it cheap enough at the price. He is the street car magnate of Cincinnati, and years ago, when his daughter was still Maud Stone, he named after her the animal that became the queen of the turf.— Boston Herald. y&\ ••'<£ ,»vl The secret of making one's self tiresome is not to know when to stop. Straws show which way the wind of millinery fashion blow. The Lenten gossip party is the latest fashionable diversion. They say it is highly entertaining. The tucked skirt is going to prevail amorlg the new thin gowns. A man never throws himself away until he is worthless. A dimple may win lovers, but a dot secures a husband. Every woman likes to talk of the "gray monotony" of her life. Cheerfulness is more a matter of circumstance than character.

Honesty is the best policy, but there are few young men nowadays who would hesitate to steal a kiss. Some people's idea of a good education is to be able to use big words. When you get sleepy after dinner you may make up your mind that you are getting old. 'Tis love that makes the world go round, but money is generally the motive power of love. If we love our neighbors as we love ourselves they would be more conceited than we are. A woman never admits that her shoes are tight; they are only a trifle Snug. When a man says "I love you," he means just that; when a woman says "I love you," she simply means that she does not love 'anyone else just then.

Klopech.] Text, ICorinthrttniil, 9, "Kye hath not seen nor ear heard/neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." The city of Corinth has been called "the Paris of antiquity.w Indeed, for splendor the world holds no such wonder today. It stood on an isthmus washed by two seas, the one sea bringing the commerce of Europe, the other sea bringing the commerce of Asia. From her wharfs, in the construction of which whole...kingdoms had been absorbed.war galleys with three banks of oars pushed out and confounded the navy yards of all the world. Huge handed,machinery, such as modern invention cannot equal, lifted ships from the sea on one *side and transported them on trucks across the isthmus and set them down in the sea on the other side. The revenue officers of the city went down through the olive groves that lined the beach to collect a tariff from all nations. The mirth of all people sported in her isthmian games, and the beauty of all lands sat in her theaters, walked her porticoes and threw itself on the altar of her stupendous dissipations. Column and statue and temple bewildered the beholder. There were white marble fountains Into which from apertures at the side there rushed waters everywhere known for health-giving qualities. Around these basins, twisted into wreaths of stone, there were all the beauties of sculpture and architecture, while standing, as if to guard the costly display, was a statue of Hercules of burnished Corinthian brass. Vases—of terra cotta adorned the cemeteries of the dead— ogy. aad the rustMng leaves wero tho rustling of the robes of u. treat crowd rising up t o praise the Lord. You thought that you knew what i t w a s to be well, but there is no perfect health on earth. The diseases of past generations came down to us. The airs that now float upon the earth are not like those which floated above paradise. They are charged with impurities and distempers. The moat elastic aiLdLrobust health of earth, compared with that which those experience before whom the gates have been opened, is nothing but sickness and amaclation. Look at that soul standing before the throne. On earth she was a life-long invalid. See her step now and hear her voice now. Catch, if you can, one breath of that celestial air. Health in all the pulses—health of vision, health of spirits, Immortal health. No racking cough, n o sharp pleurisies, no consuming fevers, no exhausting pains, n o hospitals of wounded men. Health swing in the air* health flowing in a l l the streams, health blooming o n the banks. No headaches, n o side aches, no back aches. That child that died in the agonies of croup, hear her voice now ringing in the anthem. That old man that went bowed down with the infirmities of age, see him walk now with the step of a n immortal athlete —forever young again. That night when the needlewoman Tainted away in the garret, a. wave of the heavenly air resuscitated her forever. For everlasting years to have neither ache, nor pain, nor weakness, nor fatigue. "Eye hath not seen it, car hath not ^ heard it'- No Separation Th+re. In this world we only meet to part. It is good-by, good-by. Farewells floating In the air. We hear it at the rail car windows and at the steamboat wharf—good-by. Children lisp it, and old age answers it. Sometimes we say it in a light way—"good-by"—and sometimes with anguish in which the soul breaks down—good-by! Ah, that is the word that ends the thanksgiving vases so costly that Julius Caesar was ^ ^ t h ^ iB n^\ w o r d '**»* * ° m f in to close the Christmas chant. Goodby, good-by. But not so in heaven. Welcomes in the stir, welcomes at the not satisfied until he had captured them for Rome. Armed officials, the Corintharii, paced up and down to see that no statue was defaced, no pedestal overthrown, no bas relief touched. From the edge of the city a hill arose, with its magnificent burden of columns, towers and temples (1,000 slaves waiting at one shrine), and a citadel so thoroughly impregnable that Gibraltar is a heap of sand compared with it. Amid all that strength and magnificence Corinth stood and defied the world. Oh, it was not to rustics, who had never seen anything grand, that Paul uttered this text. They had heard the best music that had come from the best instruments In all the world; they had heard songs floating from morning porticoes and melting in evening groves; they had passed their whole brass, which had been molded and shaped until there was no chariot | m e n t e d - wheel in which it had not sped, and no tower in which it had not glittered, and no gateway that it had not adorned. Ah, it was a bold thing for,Paul to. stand there amid all that and say: "All this is nothing. These sounds that come from the temple of Neptune are not music compared with the harmonies of which I speak. These waters rushing 1^. the basin of Pyrene are not pure. These statues of Bacchus and Mercury are not exquisite. Your citadel of Acrocorinthus Is not strong compared with that which I offer to the poorest slave that puts down his burden at that .brazen gate. You Corinthians think: this is a splendid city. Yon think yotf have heard all sweet gate's, welcomes at the house of many mansions, but no good-by. That group is constantly being augmented. They are going up from our circles of earth to join in—little voices to join the anthem, little hands to take hold in the great home circle, little feet to dance in the eternal glee, little crowns to be cast down before the feet of Jesus. Our friends are in two groups—a group this side-of the river and a group on the other side of the river. Now there goes one from this to that and another from this to that.and soon we will all be gone over. How many of your loved ones have already entered upon that blessed place? If I should take paper and pencil, do you think I could put them all down? Ah, my lives among pictures and sculp friends, the waves of Jordan roar so ture and architecture and Corinthian" hoarsely—we cannot hear the joy on the other side when that group Is augeounds and sean all beautiful sights, but I tell you 'eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.~ fltftad Our Conception. You, see my text sets forth^ the idea that, hoWever exalted our * ideas of heaven, they come far short of the reality. Some wise men have been calculating how many furlongs long and wide is the new Jerusalem, and they have calculated how many inhabitants there are on the earth, how long the earth will probably stand, and then they come to this estimate: That after all the nations have been gathering to heaven there -will be roen^ for each soul, a room 1« feet long and 11 feet wide. It would not be large enough for_you. It would not be large enough for me. I am glad t o know that no human estimate is sufficient to take the dimensions. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard," nor arithmeticians calculated. I first remark that We can get no idea of the health of heaven. When you were a child, and you went out in the morning, how you bounded along the road or street—you had never felt eorrow or sickness. Perhaps lates you felt a glow la your cheek and a spring in your step and an exuberance of spirits and a clearness of eye that made yon thank Ood you wcro permit- Bwmlon H*vnart the Urn**. Unbelief says, "They are dead, and they are annihilated," but blessed be- God we have a Bible that tells us different! We open it, and we find they are neither dead nor annihilated—that they never were so much alive as now —that they are only waiting for our coming and that we shall join them on the other side of the river. Oh, glorious reunion, we cannot grasp it now! "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." What a place of explanation it will be! I see every day profound mysteries of providence. There is no question we ask oftener than Why? There are hundreds of graves in Greenwood and Laurel Hill that need to be explained. Hospitals for the blind and lame, asylums for the idiotic and insane, almshouses for the destitute and a world of pain and misfortune that demand more than human solution. God will clear It all up. In the light that pours from the throne no dark mystery can live. Things now utterly Inscrutable will be illumined as plainly as though the answer was written on the jasper wall or sounded in the temple anthem. Bartimeus will thank God that he was blind,and Joseph that he was cast Into the pit, and Daniel that he denned with the lions, and Paul that he was humpbacked, and David that he was driven from Jerusalem, and that invalid, that for twenty years he could not lift his head from the pillow, and that widow, that she had such hard work to earn bread for her children. The song Will be all the grander for earth's weeping eyes and aching heads and exhausted hands and scourged backs and martyred agonies. But we can get no idea of that anthem here. We appreciate the power of secular music, but do we appreciate the power of sacred song? There is nothing more inspiring to me than a whole congregation lifted on the wave of holy melody. When we sing some of those dear old P s a l m g a c d timet, they rouie all the memories of the p a s t Why, some of them were cradle songs I n our father's house! They, are all sparking with the morning dew of a thousand Christian Sabbaths. They were sung by brothers and sisters gone now, by voices that were aged and broken in the mufti c, voices none the lest sweet because they did tremble and break. The Mvale of Heaven* ~ When I hear these old songs sung, It seems as if all the old country maetr ing houses joined in the chorus and city church arid sailor's bethel a n d western cabins until the whole continent lifts the doxology and the scepters of eternity beat time in the music. Away, then, with your starveling tunes that chill the devotions of the sanctuary and make the people sit silent when Jesus is inarching on to victory. When generals come back from victorious wars, do we not cheer them and shout, "Huzza, huzza?" And when Jesus passes along in the conquest of the earth, shall we not have for him one loud, ringing cheer? "All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall, Bring forth the royal diadem And crown him Lord of all." But, my-friends, if music on eaTth Is so sweet, what will it be In heaven? They all know the tune there. A l l the best singers of all the ages will join it—choirs of white robed children, choirs of patriarchs, choirs of apos-" ties. Morning stars clapping their cymbals. Harpers with their harps. Great anthems of God roll on! roll on!—other empires joining t h e harmony till the thrones-are all full and the nations all saved. Anthem shall touch anthem, chorus join chorus, and all the sweet Bounds of earth and heaven be poured into the ear of Christ. David of the harp will be there/ Gabriel of the trumpet will be there. Germany redeemed will pour its deep bass voice into the song, and Africa will add to the music with her matchless voices. I wish in our closing hymn today we might catch an echo that ellps from the gates. Who knows but that when the heavenly door opens today to let some soul through there may come forth the strain of the jubilant voices until we catch it? Oh, that as the song drops down from heaven it might meet half way a song coming up from earth. They rise for the doxology, all the multitude of the blest! Let us rise with them, and so at this hour the joys of the church on earth and the joyB of the church in heaven will mingle their chalices, and the dark apparel of our _mourning will seem to whiten into the spotless raiment of the skies. God grant that through the mercy of our Lord Jesus we may all get there! M O N K E Y S OP MAURITIUS. .

Nothing can be more beautiful than the view from the back veranda at "Reduit," as the fine country government house built by the Chevalier de la Brillane for the governors of Mauritius more than a century ago is called. Before you spreads an expanse of Eng-_ lish lawn only broken by clumps of gay follaged shrubs or beds of flowers, and behind that again is the wooded edge of t h e strep ravine, where the mischievous "jackos" hide, w h o come up at night to play havoc with the sugar canes on its opposite side. The only day of the week on which they ventured up was Sunday afternoon, when all the world w a s silent and sleepy. It used to be my delight to watch from an upper bed-room window the stealthy appearance of the old sentinel monkeys w h o first peered cautiously up and evidently reconnoitered the ground thoroughly. After a few moments of careful scouting a sort of chirrup would be heard, which seemed the signal for the rest of the colony to tumble t u m u l t o u s l y up the bank. Such games as then started among the young ories, such antics and tumblings and i'ompings! but all the time the sentinels never relaxed their vigilance. They spread like a cordon round the gamboling young ones and kept turning their horribly wise human-looking heads from side to side Incessantly, only picking and chewing a blade of grass how and then. The mothers seemed to keep together, and doubtless gossiped, but let my old and perfectly harmless skye terrier toddle round the corner of the veranda, and each female would dart into the group of playing monkeyB, seize her property by the nearest leg, toss It over her shoulder and quicker than the eye could follow should would have disappeared down the ravine. The sentinels had uttered their warning cry directly, h u t they always remained until the very last and retreated In good order, though there was no cause for alarm, as "Boxer's" thoughts were on the peacocks, apt to trespass at those silent and unguarded hours, and not on the monkeys at all.—CornhllL Purpose give deflnlteness and dignity to life, the man with a noble purpose, grow* to the level of his purpose.— Rev.

True, he had brought her a beautiful bracelet and had, seemed affectionate and loving; yet somehow Mildred felt that there was something lacking in his caresses, and that the fact that he did not broach the subject which she had •hoped he would settle on this visit vaguely alarmed her. For she loved Carl deeply and was unhappy in the home of a relative upon she was partly dependent and longed to have a liomeofherowxu— Carl had said, the last time he had visited her, that; they would arrange their plans for the future when he next came, but when Mildred had made the remark that she did not believe he reafiy Ycnr£d her he was on the verge of departure, and still had not asked her to name the day which would mako them husband and wife. He must have known what the Question was she wished to ask, yet he did not help her out, and so the question died unasked upon her lips, Instead he turned suddenly to. the clock,- "I'll have just time to make my train," he said, hurriedly, "so goodby, my sweetheart. Give me a kiss, and tako good care of yourself, for my sake," so tenderly that for a time all doubts as to his fidelity were dismissed from Mildred's heart. Only for a time, however, for while bis farewell kiss was still warm on her lips the question returned to her mind: "Why does rfOt Garl,if he really loves me and wants me to be his wife, claim me for his iwn±_JEerhaps he is growing to love some one else. I believe I am strong enough to bear it if it is true—better to know now than when it is too late—and uncertainty is to bear. I must find out, and if it is true that he no longer loves me as he did I will release him. ButJf I have wronged him by my doubts, I will atone by giving him added love and affection." Carl's mother had often sent her kind messages, and had also sent by Carl pome very beautiful table linen for Mildred to embroider for use after her marriage. She knew that Mrs. Langlols was her friend, although they had never met, and determined to go to se^ her and discover whether Carl had cpn- <4 fided in her any change In his djsire to marry Mildred. She shrank from the trial, yet felt it must be made for the sake of her future happiness. Accordingly a few days after Carl's visit she took a trip to hia/home, arriving there, as she had planned, when Carl was absent at his business. When she introduced herself to Mrs. Langlols she was warmly greeted, but when she told the object of her visit ner host was visibly surprised and disconcerted. "My dear child." she exclaimed, "there must be a mistake somewhere. Carl assured me only yesterday that you kept putting him off whenever he mentioned your marriage. I cannot understand it." "I can, Mrs. Langlols," said Mildred, proudly. "Tour son has grown tired of me and is seeking in some way to free lilmself. But, thank, heaven, his fetters are not yet riveted, and are easily broken. I will release him from an engagement which Is no longer a pleasure to him." "My dear, dear Mildred," begged his mother, "do not speak so bitterly. I am sure there is •some misunderstanding." Mildred had turned very pale, and an overwhelming conviction that Carl was false to her cave «poa her, mUa.«osh- IW tyXVv;;fyX;itoa*-mumoBB& up courage to face the truth. "We must find out,' 'sjhe said, very gently, for the mother's distress was also very great, "whether he is attentive to some one else. Have you ever noticed his taking pleasure in the society of any girl here?" "Oh, no," Mrs. Langlols replied, hastily; but suddenly her face changed. "Surely," she said, as if to herself, "he cannot care for Marion Reed? And yet, now that my mind Is drawn to it, I have noticed him often with her. But Marios is such a gay little flirt.and then she knew of Carl's engagem e n t — " "Ah!" Mildred said quickly, "that is not enough to keep some girls from trying to win away a man's love. It may be that she has drawn him away from me. But we must make sure, my dear friend—for I feel that you are my friend—and if it is true I will willingly give him up to her if it is for his happiness." » They arranged it that Mildred's presence in the house should be kept a secret from Carl and that his mother at mealtime should question him in a way not to arouse his suspicions; so, as the two sat alone at dinner, Mrs. Langlols carelessly said: "What a charming girl Marion Reed is, Carl!" "Isn't she, mother?" he cried enthusiastically. "Do you know she quite fascinates me?" ^ "Carl," his niother said gravely, "that is not the way for a man soon to t e married to another woman " "Pshaw, mother!" Carl exclaimed, impatiently, "you know I tojd you Mildred would never set the day, and we may never be married at all." "You are right, Mr. Langlols," said Mildred, who had been unable to resist the temptation of listening unseen; "yau are right. We~neverwltt~ be married. You are quite welcome to ask the fascinating Miss Reed to be your wife, for I am henceforth a stranger to you." Before Carl could recover from his astonishment she was gone, and as her train was just ready to depart she was out of his reach, and the passionate protests of affection which he was .prepared to make, the promises of future fidelity, were never uttered. Now that he had lost her. Mildred appeared to Carl as a precious treasure which1 he would give anything to possess. The attractions of Marion Reed paled into insignificance and he took the next train in pursuit of Mildred, hoping that he could win her back. But once assured of the flaws of her idol Mildred had cast him out of her heart, and though it was sore it was not broken, because she realized his iinworthiness. She refused to see Carl and returned his letters unread. Within a weeX mortified at his rejection, he had offered himself to Marion Reed. "Why, you're going to marry some girl in Lawrence," she replied, opening her blue eyes wide. "No, I am not," he said, shortlyT "J am going* to marry you if you will have-me^' — —^ "Well, I won't," replied the pretty flirt, decidedly. "I wa3 only amusing myself with you, my dear boy. I hope your heart is not broken." she added, mockingly, for rumors of the true state of affairs had reached her ears. "Flirting is sometimes a dangerous game, my friend, especially if there is a jealous sweetheart at tlfe other end nrltne/*" sheannounced_laTigliingly. And with her mocking laughter ringing in his ears Carl Langlols walked away to repent of his folly, by which he had jost that greatest of gifts—a woman's love.—The Columbian. Shrewd Strategy of an Eagle. A strange story comes from Susquehanna county, Pa. According to a Veracious correspondent three wildcats at Fiddle Lake attacked a big eagle, which is wintering among the trees in a„ hemlock grove near the lake. Although attacked from three point3, the bird gallantly held its own and slew two of the wildcats. ~ This is the way he did it: Singling out one of the cats the eagle grasped it tightly by the neck, burying his talons deep in the flesh; then, rising almost perpendicularly fo.* about 100 feet, allowed his prisoner to drop on a ledge of rocks. Two falls killed the first victim, but three were required to get away with the second. The survivor, seeing the fate of his companions, l e w down the mountain side.—Pittsburg Dispatch. THS 4rBT*FBfl-WA* OENU1NS And ftoataiaed S**«j»HkA • IGNrsMr l«fttt Settled la Wester* Canada • FJoodad with l a q a l r U * < A short time since a letter appeared in these columns signed by Mr. W. H. Kiekade of Alameda, Asslniboia, Western Canada, which caused that gentleman to receive a great many inquiries, most of them anxious to know if the letter was genuine. To a large number of the inquiries answers were sent, but it was Impossible to reply to all. We take pleasure in submitting to our readers a "specimen of replies sent by Mr. Kinkade: "Yes, the letter dated December 22, 1899, supposed to have been written by me, which you saw in your local papers, was genuine aud contained facts. I will say of the information received from the Canadian Government Agents prior to coming here, I did not find a single untrue statement. The Canadian Government is honorable and its Agents dare not misrepresent this country or they would lose their jobs. There is quite a bit of land for homeateading yet, a very little close to market, but mainly from 6 to 20 miles from stations. The country, hereabouts is a prairie, nearly level, slightly rolling, not a rough country by any means. Homestead entries cost $10: on land that haa been cancelled there is a $5 cancellation fee extra and in some cases an inspection fee of $5 and where the former occupant has made any substantial improvements there are small amounts to pay Tor improvements. This is a poor,place for a poor man unless he has brains and muscle and 'git and grit,' but with these requisites he can succeed. The population of this part of Asslniaboia has doubled during the past two years. There has been as much prairie broken the past two years as was already broken previoua to 1898. C. P. R. land (odd sections) joining homestead land sells at |3 per acre. Improved quarters within four to five miles of town sell at $1,000 this spring. This is not a Garden of Eden at all, no man need think he can come here and get,rich in a short time without much labor, but if he will work and be saving he can soon be an independent farmer tilling hl3 own soil and getting good returns for his labor. "We burn coal, which costs us $1.85 per load at the mines, which are 20 miles southwest of us. "People with stock and machinery should come in May so as to have all June to break in. Those who expect to work for wages for the first year or two should come by the end of July to work through harvest and threshing and then go to the coal fields and work all winter and by spring he could be ready to improve homestead. "A quarter section of railway land sells at $3 per acre. The interest is all figured up and a man has about $71 to pay cash, and If he breaks at least 10 acres first breaking season his $21 interest for the first year is thrown off and the second fall following purchase he has $69 to pay and then $60 to; pay for S more falls, which makes a total of $611 the quarter coats him, including all Interest Paying for a quarter of land that way is like keeping a life insurance policy paid, only it does not take so long to do i t By a man homesteading one quarter and buying another quarter gives him a chance to have a 320-acre farm all his own and have it paid for in ten years, and after that he is sure of an easy living if he is any good at all.

For dispensation new the world hath need Of peace on earth and God's good will to men, Where Love shall make new war—on lust of greed, And old war steel shall thirst for blood in vara. And what have ye to gain of arms ye bear, Ye nation's army—mad, in fevered strife; What measure shall we mete for blood ye spare, For wasieof treasure, and.for sunken life?

When at the close of the fighting our forces retreated to the boats on the Mississippi, the general on reaching4 the landing place found thai ho was the only representative of "his.; army- between the the Confederates and the Union transports and war vessels. From one of the former a plank was run but and from ft high bank the intelligent horse took in the situation, sliding down the difficult slope on his haunches to the gang-plank, and with his rider was soon safely aboard the steamer. Grant's groom was captijrod. Belmont, and a colored cook belonging to a Confederate colonel escaped with the Northern troops. An exchange was proposed by Bishop Polk, the Confederate commander at Columbus, Grant replying that he had no authority to exchange a black man, but the cook could return to the colonel if he so desired. The slave did not, but Grant's groom was nevertheless courteously sent back by the Confederate prelate-general. For men implore that in more human mood, The wide'world o'er, the century be begun. Mark not with stain of blood that sacred hour— At turn of century tide. This threshold cross With lowered lance. Show ye a mightier power That counteth war, and spoils of war, all loss. O ye, who are the hope of this our day, Who dominate world-thought—ye of our tongue, Defy not, but ally that ye may say On Century Morn no battle hymn be sung. —William Henry Lynch. GRANT'S CHARGES. From his earliest boyhood General Grant wa3 an expert rider, and like Washington, he possessed a mysterious power over horses. He ridiculed the idea that he could be thrown, so long as the horse,kept on his feet. He asked but one thing of a steed, and that was that he should-go. No Mexican vaquero, Bedouin sheik or American cowboy had a firmer seat, or more resembled a centaur. Early In the Mexican war Grant purchased a superb stallion that had just been captured from a herd of wild Texas horses. He was blindfolded and then saddled for the first time. The young lieutenant, springing lightly Into the saddle, ordered the blindfold removed, when the untamed steed bounded like a bull, reared, leaped, threw his head almost to the ground, sprang first to the right and then to the left in his efforts to unseat his rider; but finding all his efforts futile, he dashed away at a terrific rate of speed, soon disappearing in the distant chaparral. General Longstreet, who after more than' half a ceptury recalls the incident, in a letter to the present writer, states that no anxiety was felt concerning Grant's safety, who was then, as well as previously while a cadet at the Military Academy, universally recognized a3 an accomplished and fearless horseman. Of Cortez, as Lieutenant Grants named his wild charger, he wrote in his Personal Memoirs: '"'I had, however, but little difficulty in breaking him, although the first day there were frequent disagreements between us as to which way we should go, and sometimes as to whether we should go at all. A t n o time during the day could I choose exactly the Tmrt of the column I would march with, but after that I had as tractable a horse as any in the army." —Pnr^e the occupation of the capital by General Scott's forces, a Mexican gentleman, with whom Grant was on terms of intimacy, requested the loan of Cortez for an afternoon. His owner said afterward: "I was afraid he could not. ride „the horse, and yet I knew if I said a word to that effect the suspicious Spanish nature would think I was unwilling to lend him." The result was the Mexican mounted the spirited stallion, was thrown before he had gone three blocks and instantly killed! A few days before the American army evacuated the city of Mexico, Grant mounted Cortez and rode out to make a morning call on the colonel in command of the Castle of Chapultepec. The officers' quarters were inside of the fortress, which was surrounded with a high, broad earthwork. Riding up_ the outside slope and around the castle without observing any hitching post, Grant spurred his steed down the broad but long, steep, stone stairs that led into the fort. When the colonel appeared and saw Cortez tied at the door, where no horse had ever been seen before, he exclaimed in astonishment: "Lieutenant, how in heaven's name did you get your horse down here?" "Rode him down, sir," calmly answered Grant. "And bow do you expect to get him out?" • "Ride him up, instead of down," replied the lieutenant, which he accordingly did on his departure, the intelligent Cortez climbing like a cat to the top, when. Grant, waving his chapeau In adieu to the colonel far below, disappeared over the breastworks. With the single exception of Captain Charles May's Black Tom, a magnificent and powerful coal black gelding, such a steed as Theodore Wfnthrop introduces in his best sicry under the name of Don Fulano, or the Forest King in Ouida's novel of "Under Two Flags," Cortez was the grandest war V ~ "" ' - horse In General Scott's army with which he conquered Mexico. Five year3 latej, when Captain Grant was stationed with the Fourth Infantry at Columbia Barracks, now Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia River in what was then Washington Territory, he purchased the most valuable horse in that part of the country, calling him Garland, in honor of his brigade commander during the Mexican war. In April, 1853, Lieutenant George B. MeClellan, of the Engineer Corps, reached Columbia Barracks, and for three months, while on duty there, was Grant's guest. The day of his arrival, while seated with several comrades in front of the officers' quarters, they saw the captain returning from a ride on his superb charger and approaching a six-gun battery which was parked some 300 yards distant. As he drew near the guns and they were observing the graceful movements of Garland and his perfect rider, the group of officers saw Grant pull down his hat more firmly and seat himself squarely and securely in the saddle. "He is going to leap the battery!" they exclaimed, when' Me- Clellan and the others^including General Rufus Ingalls, Grant's West Point classmate, who told the story—all stood up to see the interesting performance. Running his horse at good speed toward the pieces, Grant put Garland over the six guns, one after another, as easily and gracefully as Charies Lever's world-famous Charlie Anecdotes of Lincoln. Lincoln was wont to relate with sweat gusto a story of his familiar career as captain of the Sangamon company raised for the Black Hawk war. There was absolutely no discipline in the company at first, and Lincoln was as innocent of" military tactjes as the greenest recruit in the lot, and his blunders were many. He used to tell how his ready wit extricated him from a dilemma in drilling. Although the expedient would hardly be approved by military authorities and has not been adopted in the course of instruction at .West Foin t, it was-a characterstic bit of LincoThia. Lincoln was •cquired to march a squad of men icross a field in company front and chen take them through a gateway. He snid in telling the story: "I could not for the life of ,me remember the word of command for getting my company endwise, so that it could get hrongh the gate; so, as we came near he gate'I shouted: ' 'This company iS' lisruissed for two minutes, when it will fall in again on the other side of. the gate." During his Indian campaign he once saved the life of an Indian who took refuge in the camp. The soldiers were determined to kill the Indian, ind as they were lawless and desperate fellows, to oppose their will was to risk death. But Lincoln was always the champion cf the distressed and helpless. He stood by the refugee and hy force of eloquence and character compelled the men to forego their designs. His authority as an officer was not regarded, but his strength of will and personal influence prevailed. A Pnlite Stranger. A big, fine-looking man eat in the cqrner of a Brooklyn car reading his newspaper. Next to him sat a little woman In an up-to-date frock. She had a box of candy in one hand and an opera libretto in the other, says the New York Telegraph. She tried to get a newspaper from a newsboy who came through the car, but the conductor broke up the transaction, and, seizing the small newsdealer, put him down on the pavement. Then the pretty woman in the up-to-date frock paid her fare in pennies and smiled. The big man's newspaper was spread outbeforc her eyes, and she glanced at the headlines. Then she read half a column about a thrilling rescue of a typewriter g4rl by a gallant fireman. She "glanced sideways at the big man. Apparently he was taking no notice. She began on a story of burglars in a south side flat, how they bound and gagged a woman, stole her sealskin sacque a n d - — "Oh, the horrid things!" she exclaimed excitedly. Tne big man looked around inquiringly, and then, quite as a matter of course, he said: "Have you finished this page, madam? If so, let us turn to the stock reports and the society news." REBESSO'S STATUE OF GRANT. O'Malley could have executed the clever act of horsemanship. Early in June, 1861, Governor Richard Yates appointed Grant colonel of an Illinois regiment, and borrowing 9400 from his father's Galena partner, with which to equip himself for the position, he paid about one-half of the amount for his famous Claybank, or Old Jack. This showy war horse Grant used for several years, and he was well known to the Army of the Tennessee as "Old Yellow." At the bat- Doreri by Andrew La tiff. Even the shrewdest persons may at times be deceived. No matter how much people may differ upon the genius of Andrew Lang, they are unanimous in regard to his quick Intelligence and his talent for playing .golf. Not long ago he was a guest at a very distinguished dinner, which he is said to have described as an extraordinary survival* of savage mysteries, but Mr. Lang's enjoyment was utterly ruined by having, as he put it, "a budding funny man on the one hand and a diabolically deaf socialist on the other." "I could not/' added the famous critic, "tell which of the two was the more mournful companion." Two weeks afterward It got out that the socialist was not deaf; that he had come to the banquet prepared to be bored by less learned guests; that he had been seated alongside "an Idiotic middle-aged gentleman, who did nothing but talk golf," and that to protect himself ho had simulated deafness which kept his neighbor bawling.—Philadelphia Press.

"And to leave him behind? No, that I could never do!" cried Bluebell. She turned and looked straight Into his faco. "If that was what you wished to say to me, Mr. Moore, let'me tell you at ones you need say no more. As long •as my father is in New Kelso I will stay with him. I am not in the least afraid. Why should a woman necessarily be a cowr>rd?" '"A coward? No! No one wc-.ild accuse you -of bsing that!" cried Moore. He turned his horse's head toward hers, so close that he was able to lay his hand on hers. Bluebell started and instantly withdrew her • hand. Moore went on in a lower toue: "But you aro one of those women to save whom from danger or hurt men would give up their lives. Bluebell, listen to me. I am £oing out of the country, and have only been waiting here until I should dare to ask you to accompany me. Your father is anxious you should consent." She was still uncomprehending. "You may leave the country," she answered coldly; "You are not of it; I am. I have been brought up in it, and I love it. Am I going to run away because wo are gtflng to be invaded by the Boers from the Transvaal? Do you think I have so little confidence in our British relations as that? Besides, where should I go? I have no relations In the world, so far as I know, but my father." "You will not understand me," said Moore. His brow began to darken, but Bluebell did not notice that. "Miss Leslie—Bluebell, I love you with all my soul! I wish you to be my wife." If the kopje they wore ascendirig had suddenly been cleft asunder, and swallowed up rider and horse before her eyes, Bluebell could not have been more astonished! Bluebell looked at the man for a minute, to see if he were really In earnest; then, a3 once more he tried to lay his hand on hers, she shook it oft and drew her horse aside. "Mr. Moore, you have taken me by surprise. I never for a moment dreamt of suoh_a_ thing. Why, you've only seen me two or three times! But though we had known each other for a lifetime it would be all the same. Thank you for the honor you have done me, but it is quite out of the question. I do not love you, and could never be your wife." It was as well she did not see the expression of his face now. He did not speak for a few minutes. Perhaps he was trying to conquer himself. "I will not take that as my answer, Miss Leslie," he said at last, in the same tone as before. "I have spoken too suddenly; you were not prepared for it I will wait until you have seen your father, until he has spoken to you. Perhaps your answer then will be different." "It cannot be different!" the girl retorted. "What could my father say to change my feelings? You may asf well take your answer now, Mr. Moore; and pjjease don't think it is because I did not expect what you have just said that I have made such an answer. I am very sorry if I have hurt your feelings, but I can't help it. Now I am going to put Rover to a gallop; we are getting near home." She put the words Into action, and the next moment the gallant little veldt pony was flying over the level plain, the girl keeping her seat like one to the n^anner born, her slight figure erect, her reins held with the negligent yet firm hand of a thorough horsewoman. It was a pretty sight to eee horse and rider lit up by the red blaze of sunset, the girl's whole figure simply outlined in the crimson light. her ruddy hair touched with the gold of the setting sun. Moore followed. There was a look on his face that would have given Bluebell a. thrill of indefinite fear and vague foreboding had she seen it. Once his lips moved, as if he were mattering t o himself; but no articulate sotind came from them. Bluebell did not pause until they were close to the avenue of blue-gum and xiettle; then she half turned her head to say: ¥ "Are you coming up, Mr. Moore?" "If you have no objection, Miss Leslie,", he answered in his usual tones. Bluebell made no response, and a few seconds brought them to the door of the house. The gaunt figure of Miss Elizabeth appeared at the entrance, brought thither by the sound of horses' hoofs. Her thin, high-cheek-boned face was grey with anxious fear. "Thank God; you're safe home, my bairn!" she exclaimed, using the familiar Scotch word, as the was apt to do in moments of excitement. "I have not been able to do a stroke of wpxk for over-afnxiety about you. They say the Boers have entered the country." "I didn't aec them, anyway, auntie; and I ve turned up all safe and sound, ycu see," said the girl with a little laugh, as she laid an affectionate arm round Miss Elizabeth's scraggy shoulders. "Here, Sam" to the Zulu boy who appeared from the stables—"take the horses, Boy." "Yah, missie," answered" the Zulu, showing his teeth in a grin. He was an intelligent, looking specimen of his race, with a frank and pleasant expression on his brown visage. As Bluebell and her aunt disappeared, Moore dismounted, but somehow his foot caught awkwardly in the stirrup, and he fell. As he rose, he ^ a w / a broad grin on the f^ce of Sam. His rage, long a t the smoldering point, burst forth, and, lifting his riding whip, he struck the boy severely across the face with it. "Take that, you black nigger!" he said, with an oath, "and learn not to laugh at your betters!" A great weal rose on the boy's brown face, as he uttered an involuntary exclamation. It reached Bluebell's ears, and she ran out quickly. A glance at the two revealed everything, and she turned on Moore white with scorn and anger. "You struck my boy? How dared you, coward?" she cried, her~voice full of ringing scorn and indignation. "And you dared to say to me what you did a few minutes ago! If I were my father, I would, never let you cross New Kelso again! Don't touch the boy again! I dare you!" She lurned from him with Inexpressible contempt, and walked -with Sam to the stables. Gerald Moore looked after her, an ugly line of anger along his lips. ' " D a r e d ? " ' h~e"repeated to himself. "You shafl pay'for this yet, my lady! Oh, ypu shall pay for it with your very heart blood!" He smiled a smile that had something fiendish in it. Moore remained to supper. It was rather a gloomy meal. Mr. Leslie looked downcast, perhaps sulky. Miss Elizabeth was agitated and anxious. Only Moore talked and jested rather more than usual. As for Bluebell, she never once looked at or spoke to him. She went to her own room after supper and did not know when Moore left. About nine_o^lock—M4ss-iSttzar befh knocked~ar her door. "Your father wants to speak to you downstairs, Bluebell." "Now for it," thought the girl. She opened the door. "Well, auntie, I'll go down. I suppose Mr. Mcore is away?" "Yes." said Miss Elizabeth. "I wonder why he comes so much to New Kelso, Bluebell? I don't like him, lassie." "Nor I," Bluebell answered; "but he's a millionaire, auntie, and that goes a long way with seme. Well, I'll go down anyhow, and see what dad has .to say." (MlP TER IV. Adam Leslie was standing by the fireplace when Bluebell entered, a heavy frown on his forehead, his face looking dark and determined. Bluebell did not like this mood in her father; but she had inherited her father's determination^ and was quite rcady^to oppose her will to his. "Take a seat, Bluebell," he said in a tone of hoarseness In his voice. She did so, and he went on: "Mr. Moore has been speaking about you to me." "Indeed," said the girl coldly. "Yes. He asks for you as his wife, and I have given him his answer. "Indeed!" said Bluebell again. "1 suppose you didn't think, then, that I had a say in the matter, dad?" "A say in it?" retorted her father, breaking suddenly into a fury. "What say could you have but that you would do as I wanted? You shall marry Gerald Moore this day week, and be safely out of the country before the troub! e begins. The man is a millionaire, rolling in money! You will go to England, where money is able to do anything, and be introduced into the highest society in the land, where you have a better right than many that are there. If all had their rights I should be Laird of Tinlaverstock, as you know. You will wear a diamond tiara, and drive in your carriage and be presented to her Majesty. What more should a girl want?" His fury had blazed, up and gone out the next moment, like a lucifer match, and his tone now was that of one who summons all the persuasion and argument he is master of to bring about a desire he is previously anxious for yet tries to conceal; ' "And leave you and Aunt Elizebeth at New Kelso, to be attacked perhaps by the Boers?" said the girl indignantly. "No, indeed, dad, I shall do n o | tuch thing. Do you think the things yon speak of are any temptation . to me? What can a girl like me, who has beea brought up among buffalo** and ostriches, with all the freedom of the veldt and the 'mountains about her, care" Tor~a~IHded cagf^ln anTihglish city, even with a diamond tiara and a carriage? But, at any rate, even if that were a temptation, I wouldn't marry Mr.. Moore, not for anything he could give. I don't like him nor trust him." "But I tell you you shah marry him, girl! You must!" exclaimed her father again furiously. He started from his position and faced her, his face almost purple with passion and excitement, his veins standing out' like knotted cords, his lips uaateady. "There's no choice in the matter— you've got to do it! I have sworn to Moore, you will be his wife this day week, and you shall!" "You had no right to promise such a thing!" retorted the girl indignant^ ly. Bluebell Leslie was no milk^and^ w^ter, weak-willed girl, to bo bullied into such a course by her father or any one else. She had been brought up in too hardy and independent a life for that. "I shall not marry him, father, that is certain. You don't need to try to urge me. You are my father, and I owe you affection and obedience; but not in such a matter as that of selling myself to a man I despise and distrust. Yes, that is what I do. I didn't think why you brought him to New Kelso. If you had seen him strike Sam today— But there, what is the use of speaking?' she added quickly. "I have given you my answer, dad, as I gave it to Mr. Moore himself today. Did he not tell you?" Instead of answering directly," her father strode to her side, seized her arm and, holding it in such a grasp of iron that it almost wrung a cry from her lips, whispered in her ear: "You'll have to marry him, or see your father ruined and disgraced! Bluebell, I tell you I'm in Gerald Moore's power. At any moment he can sell me up, take every stick I've got, and turn us out on the veldt homeless and penniless." Bluebell turned her face toward him. It had grown very pale, and her eyes glowed. Words of Adair Rothes kept ringing in her ears: "Beware of thai man, he is dangerous!" "You mean," she said, slowly, in a changed voice, all the girlish defiance and brightness gone out of it, "that ybu are in that man's power." "I—I've been foolish lately, Bluebell, I confess it. I've been speculating and lost. I got into Moore's power up at Maritzburg. There's worse than I've told you. Moore holds a biTF^-a^ bill that would disgrace me forever, would"—his voice sank—"put me in prison." SEE TO THE WALLS. A DMffe* 1» a*fcoolrooaM M * BOW to Vr«r«mt I t .

"It was—I was not quite accountable for it," saidMr. Leslie in a hoarsewhisper. "I—I had been taking too much. But it's done, Bluebell, and can't be undone. You must save me. On the day that you marry him Gerald Mcore will give that paper over into my hands to be destroyed. Bluebell's hands dropped from her face and she looked up at him. "So, to save you from the consequences of your crime," she said slowly, "you would make me give myself .up to—-this tt^serupulous villian— a villian even according to your own showing! You will be saved, but what of me? I am to be sacrificed to a life worse than death, life with a man I fear and despise and dishonor, who—yes, I am sure of it—does not love me, but wishes for some purpose to get me, as well as you, into his clutches. Did it never strike you as being rather a cowardly thing'1 to do, dad?" There was a strange bitterness in her voice—a bitterness that had never been heard in Bluebell Leslie's blithe, clear young voice In all her life before. The wretched man felt it and winced; but the next moment he seized her arm again. "I am your father, and I have a right j to demand this of you!" he exclaimed j hoarsely. "Will you see your father! dragged to prison and your aunt and ; yourself turned out on the veldt, ruin-1 ed and disgraced, to be shot by the j Boers, or to die of starvation? Answer i me that!" j "I cannot answer you new. Let me : go to my room," safd Bluebell in a low j voice. "I beg your pardon, dad, for; having spoken to you as I did just now. 1 should not have done it. But { I do not think anything would Justify J me in marrying him." ^ Before he could stop her she had slipped from the room and gone up to | her own. Miss Elizabeth had been j waiting for her, and now came to the; door. (To be Continued.) $ 2 0 . 0 0 A . W E C K A N D E X P E N S E S to agents selling our J^ouschold ?oods. Sell on Bight. Write C.

Y., on the Niagara Frontier, during the summer months of the year 1901, presents an interest Ing treatment of cloister w Machinery & Transportation itself forms a hollow square, Court in its center. It is 200 feet long and 100 feet Wide, the east and west ends opening respectively to the great entrances from the Grand Canal and the Court of the fountains, while the great exhibiting rooms of the Mall side of the building, and the two exhibition rooms and great entrance court from the Court of the Fountains side of the building, lie on either side. Along each side of this Court, and extending the entire length, are roofcovered arcades under which the visitor may find rest on the comfortable benches. The pool itself is 175 feet long and 27 feet wide. It is placed in the center of the Court. The bank is sodded and planted on all sides, forming a pleasing'frame or border effect; the water is low so as to receive the reflection of the growth around the pool. The fountain is an • important feature, placed in the center of the pool, and giving life to the scene and freshness- to the atmosphere. Throughout the Court are pleasant walks and paths; bordered with low-growing shrubbery and plants, and at intervals at axis-points with the arcades,rare plants.are placed in great vases, making a truly architectural landscape effect. The entire scheme gives the effect of an admirable enclosure of .a mission cloister, and is planned as one of the many little oases for the refreshment of the weary sightseer.

In that case send About twenty-flve years ago, just after finishing my course at an eastern college, I bad a violent attack of western fever, in fact, it became quite an epidemic in the community where I then resided. Many of the people who were foot-loose, or who could sell their j belongings at anything near a fair price, followed the star of destiny which shone so brillantly in the western sky. I prescribed,for my own case and took the medicine. 1 went west and, for ten years thereafter, sought my fortune on the plains of Nebraska. Government land, of good .quality, could then be secured and thousands of settlers were crossing the Missouri river In search of a free homestead, the gift of Uncle Samuel. I selected a quarter section of good tillable land near the Platte river in Central Nej braska. I built a sod house and set up bachelor quarters, a mile from my nearest neighbor. As far as the eye could reach, not a mountain nor hill to break the horizon, but here and there, long distances apart, sod or log houses loomed up like punctuation marks on the face of the landscape. My nearest neighbor'was an Englishman by the name__o.f Martin, wio with his wife and family of five, had come out from England some years before, and settled in the valley of the Platte. Martin's idea in going so far from any civilized community was to embark in the cattle business, unhampered by contingent farmors, bur an incident occurred in the history of the Martin family that came near costing the lives of at least two of their number, if not of the whole family.

I have walked lover the ground where It occurred; ! have seen the aruow that did the mischief and witnessed the scars on the , bodies of the boys, now full grown men, so I can vouch for the,truth of the narrative in every particular. Mr. Martin had a high stockade of logs on j end, surrounding his house and barn. j Gates of heavy plank swung open in J ihe morning to let the cattle out to graze, and swung to again at night after the boys had gathered in the herd. A gable window in the attic of the log house overlooked the gate, and the range beyond where the cattle were wont.to graze. Just inside,the window was a rack stocked with a battery of riflts. shotguns, and revolvers, representing over thirty successive shots'without reloading. Thus equipped and ever ready for attack, the Martins lived for years, being frequently- threatened with attack from Indians, but really never having been called on to fire a single shot in defence. However, one day in August, I860, they had good use for their weapons. The boys. Nat and Rob, then eight and ten years of age, respectively had taken the cattle out to graze as usual, both boys riding one pony. Several times during the dnv th^ir mother, climb-([ the M.UIS TITRI took a look at the boys tending the cattle almost a mile away in the direction of the sand hills.

J, UOl.'will be the Ethnology building. It will contain an exhibit of unusual interest to all Americana. Ethnology is the science which treats of the division of mankind into races, their origin, distribution and relations and the peculiarities which characterise them. At Buffalo the Ethnology building will be a veritable mine of information concerning the countries of North and South America. This will !*e peculiarly appropriate for the reason that the Exposition is a Pan-American, or All-American, event, and everything of interest concerning the various nations inhabiting the new world discovered by Columbus will be represented by an interesting exhibit in Buffalo when the Exposition's gates open on May 1, 1901. Strange to relate, the most interesting exhibits concerning several countries in South America are already in this country. Peru, for example, will send many interesting exhibits to the Pan-American Exposition and will . use her Influence to have exhibited in her section the remarkable collection of Peruvian antiquities now owned by various American museums. / Jll i/.-iitert fc: ^ • t -;; >ii..ttX':>. stock raising.

Sixteen hundred clerks are constaengtffed filling out-of-town orders. V r--, ^ave stockade, while still farther behind, coming out of the sand hills was a band of twenty mounted lnu*uns- in hot pursuit, intent upon heading oh The boys and stampeding the cattle. Mrs. Martin, with true motherly courage, snatched from the rack a shotgun and a rifle, and hurriedly descended the stairs calling loudly, the while, for Martin, who was in the back yard. They met near the door and through the open gate lieheld the ra<.:e for life. The Martins were used to frontier lite: for years they had anticipated just such a charge; they acted accordingly. Mr. Martin took both guns and stationed himse'f outside the gate where he could get, first a rine shot at long range, then as they came nearer, two charges ironi the shotgun, and then be in position to grab hold of the g.i'ie and swing it too, if happily the buya aud cattle should get safely in. in "meantime, Mrs. Martin hall taken" her stand at the upper window, musket in hand, ready tq pour hot shot down on the redskins, if they came within range. The boys were not within a few rods of. the gate; the Indians about forty rods behind in hot pursuit. A rifle ball, with Martinis, compliments, dropped one of the foremost Indians from the saddle. A musket shot from the upper window further gave evidence of the hoi reci ption that'awaited them, so without further urging the Indians whirled rapidly about and were on, not neglecting to reach down and pick up their fallen comrade in their retreat. The cattle came galloping into the stockade followed by the two boys on the gray pony. The gates were quickly closed and bolted, then turning to look after the boys, 'Mr. Martin beheld them both lying un conscious on the ground, pierced and pinned together by an arrow. Gently did the mother's hand, try to remove the arrow: the barbed head would not retreat so the shaft was ) carefully drawn forward, and the j I bC'.vs carried separately into the nal-?e. , ! An examination of their wounds show- j | ed that the arrow had passcu through the fleshy part of the side about the ; hip and had not severed any vital or- ; gan in either boy. Good care and ; nursing soon had the desired effect of restoring Nat and Bob to their normal j conditions, but they did not again j wander so far from the stockade. Next 1 day after this encounter with the In- 1 dians, the Martins cautiously retraced | the tracks of the Indians for some distance from the house. At a point near where the Indian fell from his horse. one of the boys picked up a scalping knife with a.crue bone handle, and ;v part of a necklace of shell beads. which had evidently dropped from tho person of the fallen Indian. Whether he was killed or only badly wounded. , the Martins never knew, but old j George Martin used to wink rather significantly whon showing.these relics tQ friends, aud remark that "he was saving them frr him if he ever came back to claim thciu.".

When the Marsh letter w a s first introduced the defense admitted that it w a s die* tated by Col. Sutton at Marsh's request ttfid~wrttteirin tfae-corporatioa eonnsel's office. When the governor's order was introduced Mr. Stevenson's crossexamination indicated that the defense would claim that the governor's signature was forced by Col. Smith and that the letter was also written by him on a typewriter in the quarterinaster-gen* eraa's office, in order to disprove the theory of the prosecution that the order w a s obtained from the governor fey Sutton. 3953 Procceatton Nc*rl«r the End. With the prosecution nearing the end of. its case in the Sutton trial, the complexion of the people in the court room is changing. The friends and relatives of the respondent are beginning to appear and t h e faces of banker* and others concerned with those engaged in t h e conspiracy are passing from view. The diamoud salesman and bookkeeper for Wright, Kay «fc Co. were on the stand on the 22d. Q. J. McMechan, of the Union Trust Co., w a s there, and Israel T. Cowles returned to explain something iurther in connection with the high Thailand the chicken sandwich. The trial is now in its fourth week. The prosecution has already called 42 witnesses, and there are still 10 or 12 to testify if all are'called. Of the wit- JIesses called, nioe were from Lansing, -eight from Grand Rapids, ten from Kalamazoo, nine from Detroit, one from Cold water and five from Allegan. 'The expense in witness fees and traveling expenses has exceeded 8300, or -about $7 each. . Governor Pingree and Major Stone furnished the entertainment for the spectators at the afternoon session. T h e former says he believes that the signature to the military order was s o t signed by, him; says he did not see flutton in New York ..when.,Sutton is said to have got S7.00O. When Stone took the stand in the afternoon he asked leave to correct the testimony he gave in the morning relative to the two conferences during the Week preceding the convening of the leglUlaturB in special session. He emphatically declared that the impeachment message gras not discussed at these conferences, and that no one. reminded him of his mistake in his testimony in the morning, but that it all came back t o him while on his way to dinner. Sutton on tbe Stand. More interest was shown in the Sutton trial on the 23d than since it began, owing to the fact that the defense began to put in its case and the respondent was on the stand nearly all day. He was not able to get through his direct examination as his testimony necessarily had to cover a lot of ground and Mr. Stevenson did not allow a sing l e point to g o unnoticed. In general Sutton testified that he never knew anything about the military deal or that White w a s going t o make any money out of the sale of the military supplies. He said that Gen. Marsh called on him Jnne 2^1 and asked for an opinion relative to the power of the military board to sell some second-hand supplies left over from Camp Eaton, and that the only information he had came from White and Marsh. His bank accounts he explained at great length, explaining the source of the various moneys he deposited on the days that the prosecution claimed the military swag was divided. In support of his testimony that he loaned White $2,500 for 30 days and received $250 interest, he produced a letter he had written to his wife at Sodus, N. Y., i n which he explained to her that White had been seeking a loan from him and discussed the advisability of advancing the $2,500 to him. He also produced a copy of the telegram he sent to "her the next day in reference t o the same matter. Sutton also related the circumstances of his getting $5,000 from Tom L+ Johneon on September 10 in connection with the expenses incurred bjr t h e street railway commission and t h e final disposition he made of the money. He aaiA that Johnson wanted t o pay the expenses of the commission, amounting to $4,000, that he contributed $2,009 to a fund that w a s to be used in case GOT. Pingree decided to run for mayor and &&ve Sutton $1,000 for his own expenses. He stated that on January 4, 1900, h e returned $9,000 t o Johnson by s> certificate of deposit and that when fee took a cheek for $2,300 to him on January Sft^Johnsontolvi him to keep it t o rJw ffe hl&3t*MBtt s a d pay i t back w%en able. The first important testimony t h a t developed in t h e e*^j»-e^ta»inatibn of Sutton related td1 Uls alleged loan t o Gen, White.' Ira a letter inteoduoed by the defense, which was written by a«rtton t o h U w » s - l s * t fall, when t h e alleged loan w a s ttftdnr oomslderation, Sutton, i * explaining his reluctance t o lite the money,—id. he»yVwould do nothing u n l e s s the aeeqrity was gilt-edged.'' l a his cross-examination on the above date he Admitted that he realiy had n o security a t all except White's word, as iie. did not record t h e deed of the Detroit property and the stock of the knitting company, that White U alleged to have given h i m , as security. Regarding his trip to N e w York to. get money from Tom L. Johnson with which t o pay the expenses of the street railway commission, Sutton told Prosecutor Tuttle that he did not remain in New York over night for t w o reasons —because he did not wish to g o about with so much money on his person and because h e w a s anxious toyreportc-to the commission. When questioned more closely, he admitted that he did not report to the commission immediately on his return, and finally denied that h e returned home for that particular purpose. Sutton's Grand Jury Story. Prosecuting Attorney Tuttle continued his cross-examination of Col. Sutton on the 25th, going over various portions of his testimony in detail. Judge Wiest allowed t h e prosecution more latitude in questioning Sutton as to what he testified to before the grand jury and how he explained his bank accounts before that jury. Sutton adwitted that he did not show t h e grand ^ury his"saTiQgs'depos1t containing the $5,B0O item* b u t maintained that he was not asked directly about it, and the prosecutor tried to show that Sutton misled the grand jury. Other questions indicated that the prosecution will claim that Sutton made an entirely different statement regai-ding his bank accounts to the grand jury. Sutton admitted that he gave a different explanation of some of the items, but said that he believed he w a s telling the truth at the time. Two of the grand jurors were in the court room listening to his Jestimony and the prosecution probably intends to call them on rebuttal for impeachment purpose?. State Oil Inspector Judson and Corporation Counsel Flowers both testified positively that they were with Sutton at Gov. Pingree's residence on the night of Sept 11. and Frank A. Rasch testified that he atevLunch with Sutton on that day. Thisptestimony is to contradict the theory or the defense thai Sutton went to Grand Rapids on the 1:10 train, and the testimony of I. Tv Gowles^who testified that_he_met Sutton and Marsh on that train. From the present outlook the trial will take up nearly two weeks longer.

The coroner's jury, after a short deliberation, rendered the following verdict on the 24th, in the case of Miss Cobean, who died two weeks previous a t Mrs. Annie Smith's place, Fort street west, Detroit: "We, the jury, find that Clara M. Cobean came to her death from septicaemia resulting from an abortion produced by persons whose identity has not been disclosed to this jury by the evidence submitted." •m Bewsre of Swindlers.

Jln-e*eienoe remarkaWe lor H s s i x e , sympathy and enthusiasm greeted the Boer envoys a t the reception given in their honor a t the Grand opera house, Washington, on t h e 20th, under the auspices of the congressional and citisena' committee. Long before the time for the meeting to open the house w a s crowded to suffocation and many were turned away, unable to gain admittance. The interior was. appropriately decorated with the nations! tri-colors of both the U. S. and the Transvaal While official Washington1 w^sa not represented in any manner there were probably 30 members of the senate and the house occupying seats i n the auditorium and on the stage. Uncle S*ns Declines to Infer fere. The state department has met tbe issue raised by the coming to Washington of the Boer delegation by declining t o interfere in behalf of the South African republics in the present struggle. In view of this announced decision all questions a s to the character of the recognition t o bo extended to the delegates and the sufficiency of their credentials dropped at once into the background. It was, after ail, of little moment whether or not the Boers were received as diplomatic agents or ministers, so long as they Were powerless tar-promote the- prime object ^of their mission, namely, cause the U. S. government to intervene to bring about peace. The President sympathises heartily in the sincere desire of all the people of the U. S. that the war which is now afflicting South Africa may. for the sake of both parties engaged, come to a speedy close; but, having done his full duty in preserving a strictly neutral position between them and in seizing the first opportunity that presented itself for tendering his good offices in the interests of peace, he feels that, in the present circumstances, no course is onen to him except tov persist in the policy of impartial neutrality. To deviate from this would be contrary to all our traditions and all our national interests, and would lead to consequences which neither the President nor the people of the U. S. could regard with favor. Muskegon voted i n favor o f bonding the trftor for $84,000 for better streets. ' TheMaocabees of Detroit haVe dei otdeU t o build a new temple, whioh will ooet $160,000.

Fischer, Wessels and Wolmarans, w h o are representing the South African republics in this country, have received many pressing invitations from most of the large cities of the United^ States to visit them, but owing to the short time they have to spend in this country, it will not be possible to accept all* of the invitations received. It is their intention to return as soon as circumcarry out their instructions, but before leaving they have concluded to yield to the great demand on the part of the American people to spend a few more days in America and they have concluded first of all to visit Baltimore, Philadelphia, Providence and Boston during next week. After visiting these cities they are in hopes of being able to spare the time to extend their visit to several other cities in the middle states. Kentucky's Governorship C»*fl Settled. The U.

The British, he, declared, would be masters of the Free State and Transvaal; might would be right; the capitalists would dominate; the poor would be the sufferers and the Hollanders would have no chance. In accordance with an understanding w i t h Gen.

I could, give the information myself, but I wish you to have the chance of a little glory, and also of a pecuniary reward. You do not need to sail ttys information Under several hundred pounds." The eyes of Adam Leslie glistened. Avarice was one of the man's besetting sfns. It was the haste to be rich which had landed him in the net of the billionaire Gerald Moore. He-grasped Moore's arm. ""And you can give me this information— I? For pity's sake, let me know all. Moore." The other man bent hferfiead, and for a few minutes spoke <m Ik low but deliberate and distinct voice. Leslie drank in every word. His hatred of the Boers was only equaled by his lust for gold, and the two passions, seeing a way to be satisfied here, rendered nla rubicund face agitated" and convulsed with emotion*, "You are willing to inform? Then go, and at once!" exclaimed Moore. "Not a moment is to be lost! It is utterly impossible that the information can be carried to Ladyamlth in any other way. I solemnly assure you that no one else knows it but myself. You can reach Ladysmith by 9 o'clock. So then, without more ado, got" As Adam Leslie, full of the design that was to deliver the very leaders of the Boer army into the hands of the enemy, hurried within his steading, the 'other man looked after him with a smile. "So you have worked into my hands, friend Leslie," he muttered. And he rubbe'd thes-3 useful members together as If Leslie were literally between them. "Now my path will be easy. Ye3, my charming Bluebell, you will find Gerald Moore is capable of revenge as well as love!" And he laughed^ "And -rf-you: witt-not yield to persuasion, my dear young lady, why, then, we must needs try force!" V'7 \ CHAW?a^I^^<CflaWaned,) ••• ••Was tt -anything, dearie?" She ut" tered an acclamation ,aa ehe saw Bluebell's waits fwe. "The Boers—they're going t*-attack ns, Bluebell?

Goo* night Mies Elizabeth was all of mother she had ever known. ^ "Good nigh*. God keep you, dearie, the elder woman whispered. Her words remained with Bluebell after she had shut herself into her room.' God keep fcerf There, was One to whom she should turn now for help in this most terrible crisis at her young life. Bluebell threw herself on her knees, fcurylng her face to her hands. Oh, God, show her what was 4hB right thing to do. Help her, oh, «3od, for .there was no other who could tell her what she must del Save her father from the 'consequences of a deliberate <erlme by selling herself to this scoundrel! ift was a tfearful sacrifice! Did God demand It •of her? Nay, would .she be doing* right in making it? Bluebell was a good, «weet, true-hearted girl. She nad always shown respect and affection .for the most unlovable man who was her father, *ven when ho was least-worthy •or respect; but she had an unusual amount of common ^ense for a young girl, and was not likely to be betrayed into any sentimental and maudlin course of action. As she knelt there a 'sudden thought came to Bluebell, bringing the warm , bloqd in a palpitating wave over the -pallor of her white face, and quickening the throbs of her heart that had been beating so low and despairingly. It was the thought of Adair Rothes. 'in he were only here," Bluebell said to herself, "I think he -would help me. He said he was my friend." Her -thoughts ^wandered from the terrible crisis Of the moment to the brief time of happiness in the afternoon when Rothes had first met her. It had not lasted long, that was true;^ but 'somehow the memory_of Rothes' <*lasp other hand, (ft his long look into her eyes,- brought A "'kind- of'_ brief sweetness into Bluebell's heart, which even the-pife and sorrbir of the present could not quite blot out. When she rose from her knees her mind was quite made up. "I shall not mavry.tbat^an,;; she J said, and her eyes' were full of a strange,-deep determination. "It would not make dad's sin the less If I did so. It would be a sin" on my part to marry a man like that. It would be .adding sin to shi. Dad must escape, but it will be in some other way. I will help him to do so. He must escape to England, and auntie and I will carry on the farm here." This determination brought a certain restfulness to Bluebell. She undressed, got Into bed, and presently went -to sleep, though it was a sleep disturbed by troubled dreams of Boers attacking "New Kelso, setting fire to ft, and tying up all its occupants to stakes in -order that they might be burnt also. __^„. Adam Leslie had a worse night than his daughter. He was up at daybreak and riding over his farm. As he was returning^bout 7 o'clock he saw a tall, dark figure approaching him on horset> aclc.

"News, Iweslie—great -news'''* Tie exclaimed, as "be came close to the other man, and €ung himself off his horse. "Listen, man; but first*'—he dropped his voice—"what of my love affair.

Of course you must allow for a little reluctance at first; but there Isn't the slightest fear but she will give In. But you'll give us a day or two more of grace, will you not?" His tone of abjec* entreaty told mote than his words did to the keen ear of Gerald Moorei .who turned aside for a moment, and passed his hand over his lips as if to conceal their expression. "Yes, I will give you a day or two more." he saidJ presently/ "for there's some work before you, Mr. Leslie, if, as I think, you feel inclined to tell something which the British general at Ladysmith would give his ears to knowv In a few days some of the biggest men on the Boers' side may he made prisoners.

He had been glaring at her with a look that vaguely terrified Bluebell up to this moment Now he interrupted her in a hoarse, sullen tone., "You are mad, child!* Yon don't know what yon are talking about! I am not going to escape, or to do any such thing, in. the meantime. As for you, you will have to make up your mind sooner or later to marry Gerald Moore; but he is not going to Insist at once. You will have a week or two in which to accustom yourself to the idea that seems so disagreeable to rbu.", He turned without another word, and walked out of the room. Bluebell looked after him, with mingled agony and humiliation in her heart. Heuhad not always been like this. Bluebell could remember her early years of childhood in far-off Scotland, when a sweet-faced, brownhaired woman ruled the house, and Adam Leslie had been afl different from what he was now as day is from night. Then the sweet mother had died, and Leslie had been turned out of the inheritance he had thought would be his, by a cousin, long supposed to be dead, turning up; and, in a sullenv de THE ST. LOUIS RIOTS. -**m*mim s CHAPTER V. ' Bluebell had come down prepared to give her father her answer, and- to make her proposal to him, in the morning; but to her surprise and consternation, she learned that he had f~goue~ off^on horseback, no one knew whither, not saying when he should f return. "It was Sam who saw him go," said Miss Elisabeth, In a frightened tone, "and he says he went In the direction of Ladysmith; but of course he may be going much farther than that—he may be going by train. Do you know nothing about It, Bluebell?" Bluebell shook her head. She was more put about even than her aunt by this new move. What could it mean?" "Dqar auntie, you,'re not afraid of the Boers, are you? They have never done us any~Eann, "why should they now? Though they are fighting with Britons, it is with British soldiers armed themselves, not with helpless, unarmed people, especially women." The day passed, the women going about their usual, avocations; -but4 Adam Leslie did not return. It was not till late in the evening that he rode at a hard pace up the avenue and into the steading, right up underneath the stoop or veranda. Bluebell went down to meet him, then turned.,away with a shudder, for she could see he was deeply flushed and his eyes blazing, while he staggered slightly as he got off his horse. . "Sam!" cried Bluebell to the Zulu servant who had apppeared at the sound of the horse's hoofs, "take my father's "horse. Father, take my arm," she said, in a low voice.. But "he flung her off with an oath. "Away Into the house! You are a disobedient creature, and I will have nothing to do with you!" he snarled. He himself staggered into the sitting room, where he lay down on a couch and fell asleeep. without even removing his great riding boots. BTncbell could not speak to him that night She (cnept away, bitterly humiliated and distressed; and Miss Elisabeth came In and endeavored to comfort her; but it was such comfort as one who is ignorant of the real nature or depth of a wound can give. By the morning her father had slept off his drunken fit Bluebell managed to get a few minutes alone with him after breakfast, during which he was sullen and silent, not exchanging a word with the women. , Bad as Adam Leslie was, he had still a few -instincts of a gentleman, and one of these told him that he had been guilty of a base and dishonorable act in sellling the Information which was to betray the Boer leaders into the hands of an enemy. "Father, I must epeak to you for a fiant mood, the man had set off for South Africa, taking n i8 sister withrj Meramec street three persons were in him. The passion for making money had entered his heart, which seemed to have no longer any sweet home affection to soften it since his wife died; and he had become harder and more sullen and more immersed in money making until this fearful end had come. A day or two passed, ^Gerald Moore seemed to have disappeared, and Bluebell began to * breathe more freeely. Perhaps, after all, he was not so bad as she had thought; perhaps her evident aversion to the idea of marrying him had offended him, and decided him to act a more merciful part than he had at first intended. Meantime, too, they had heard no further news of the invading Boers. One night Bluebell had gone to her own room rather earlier than usual. She had had a headache—an uncommon ailment with her—and, saying to her aunt thaT she fett sure that-there was a thunderstorm coming, she bade her good-night pnrt ""Art Kn hod; but; for a lohg time she could not sleep. The night was very hot*-an unusual thing at that season, when, though the days are swelteringly warm, the nights are correspondingly cold—and there was the strange stillness in the air which precedes "a-thunderstorm. Bluebell lay waiting for the first audden clap of thunder, the first dazzling blaze of lightning, all her nerves unstrung, not by fear, but by the overcharged electricity In the air, and her own throbbing temples. At last Bluebell's ears, strained to catch any noise, detected a strange throbbing1-sound; but it seemed to be very far-away. It was certainly not the rumbling of thunder. Was It a real sound, or did it exist only in her fancy, in the throbbing tympanum of her ear? Bluebell lay still and listened. No, it was no fancy! She heard it again, and this time more distinct. It was the sound of horses' hoofs—of many horses' hoofs—Bluebell well knew, though the noise produced was not that of several distinct sounds, but of one galloping along the wagonpath of the veldt. Bluebell-started up in bed, a-sudden trembling seizing her. The Boers! Of course It was the Boers! She did not have a doubt on the subject. But In what direction were they going. Ah! they were coming towards New Kelso! She could hear their horses approaching every moment Almost mechanically Bluebell threw herself out of bed and dressed herself quickly, then thrust her" feet into her slippers. All the house was silent. It was about 1 o'clock in the morning, and every one was in bed. Should she go to wake them? Bluebell hesitated. Perhaps the horsemen would pass right on; they must be going towards Ladysmith. Was it not better that her father should sleep on in ignorance that the hated Boers were so near. If he knew of their proximity, who could tell what bad step his hatred of them might Induce him to take? Bluebell determined to remain where she was and watch. She stood behind the muslin curtains, which alone protected the unshuttered window, watching. Her heart beat fast and unevenly, and nervous little shoots of pain ran through the palms of her hands.

Anyone who has has an attack of sciatic or inflamatory rheumatism will agree that the ihlfictTon is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, an1 hundreds hsar testimony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by P. A. Sipler, druggist.

Several bi> excursions will g o from this vicinity and the popularity of the show will insure an enormous crowd. People from this locality should make an especial eflort to arrive in time to see the new street carnival which p/eceeds, the exhibition every morning at 10 ' o'clock. The procession is divided in thirty enurmdns seottonl, each of which is a complete parade, and presents in its entirety a bewitdaring-magnifioent two-mile carnival of pageantry, such as the world has never seen. In this gorgeous display are shown over 100 beautiful dens and cages of wild a n i - mals, 500 horses, 2 5 elephants 'and nearly a thousand people, and the costumes throughout are of > the finest silks, satins, and cloth of gold. The performance that Follows is the most magnifinanoe arenio display ever presented by any circus in America. . i • • •• • • Few housekeepers know what a good dish for supper, is made by scalloping potatoes with Parmesan cheese. The bottom of a baking dish Is covered with the sliced boiled potatoes, then pepper and salt are added, and a very little white sayge. A liberal amount of cheese is scattered over, and then another layer of potatoes. The eheese Bhould form the top layer, and the Whole should have a thorough cooking the cheese browning well at the last. "God bless all good women. To their soft hands and pitying hearts we must all come at last.

You talk of the fire of genius.

In replying with considerable asperity to the Invitation to be present at the Chicago celebration of the anniversary of Dewey's victory at Manila, Duke D'Arcos, the Spanish Minister, was following the general lines of diplomatic usage. At the tinle of Dewey's arrival in this country, invitations to his New York reoeption were sent to all members of the diplomatic corps in Washington. After a little conference they decided that it wcula be improper that they, as representatives of nations friendly alike to Spain and the -ITnited States, should manifest Interest in a victory of one nation over the other. Some of the diplomatic representatives, it is said, did not even reply to the invitations. It is everywhere recognized vh<vt a soldier is best paid for doing his duty by a strip of ribbon or a pecuniarily valueless medal. Cn the other hand, a badge in itself ofUn spurs on its owner to deeds of valor and; honor. Harry von Trott, a "young graduate of the Agricultural College of the UniversitvpX Wisconsin, was among the passengers on a vessel recently wrecked off the coast of Mexico. The little Christian Endeavor pin was on his coat. He threw off his outer garments, mn^^fasteTifn'g t h e ^ i n in "his underclothes, swam through the shark-infested water and over surf-beat en rocks to'bring relief to the im-parilled passengers. A _great_crisis calls for energy, skill and self-sacrifice, and fortunately for the credit of this age, it does not often call in vain. the sick man had described, brought it to him, and the- wound was healed. Well, the human race 'had been hurt with the ghastliest of all wounds— that of sin. It was the business of Christ to bring a balm for that wound —the balm of divine restoration. In carrying this business to a successful issue the difQculties were stupsndous. The Spiritual Upbuilding-. In many of our plans we have our friends to help us; some to draw a sketch of the plan, others to help us in the execution. But Christ fought every inch of 'his way against bitter hostility and amid circumstances all calculated to depress and defeat. In his father's shop no more intercourse was necessary than is ordinarily necessary in bargaining with men that have work to do; yeL Christ, with hands hard from use of tools of trade, was called forth to become a public speaker, to -preach in the face of mobs, while some wept and some shook their fists and some gnashed upon him with thair teeth and many wanted him out of the way. To address orderly aud respectful assemblages is not so easy as it may seem, but it requires more energy and more force and more concentration to address an exasperated mob. The villagers of Nazareth heard the pounding of his hammer, but all the wide reaches of eternity were tcr hear,the stroke of his epiritual upbuMding. hlmaelf sp t So ahw the brevity of (Ml* life WM against Wm.

Lay it on my warm heart Of such is the kingdom of heaven." , ; U HUlfl lEIBOBlty IAMB; After a lapse of over thirty years, Rear Admiral Hichborn, the chief constructor of the United States navy, returns to California, the etate from Which he was appointed in the navy as an assistant naval constructor in 1869." In California he spent the early days of manhood and served as a journeyman shipwright, master shipwright and assistant naval constructor, and those California days are full of reminiscences of the early time in the history of the Golden state. Notwithstanding his continued employment so far from the west coast. Admiral Hichborn has been ever in touch with its interests and has done much to foster and promote the welfare of the shipbuilding interests, both at the navy yards and private shipyards on the Pacific coast.- So also the habits of drc?s and diet •vrere against him. Tho mighty men of Christ's time did not appear in appare without trinkets and adornments. None of the Caesars would have appeared in citizen's apparel. Yet here was a man, here was a professed king, who always wore the same coat., Indeed, it was far from shabby, for after he had worn it a long while the gamblers thought it worth raffling about, but still it was far from being an Imperial robe. It was a coat that any ordinary man might have worn on an ordinary occasion. Neither was there any p-etension in his diet. No cupbearer with golden chalice brought him win-% to drink On the seashore he ate fish, first having broiled it himself. No one fetched him water to drink; but, bending over the well in Samaria, he begged a drink. He sat at only one banquet, and that not at all sumptuous, for to relieve the awkwardness of the host one of the guests had to prepare wine for the company. "Blwied Are tho Focr." Popular opinion declared in those days, "Blessed is the merchant who has a castle down on the hanks, of Lake Tiberias." This young man said, "Blessed are the poor." Popular opinion said in those days, "Blessed are those who live amid statuary and fountains and gardens and congratulations and all kinds of festivity." This young man responded, "Blessed are they that mourn.*' Public opinion in tho3© days said, "Blessed Is the Roman eagle, the flap of whose wing startles nations and the plunge of whose iron -beak inflicts cruelty upon its enemies." This young man responded, 'Blessed arc the merciful." Popular opinion said, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." In other words, if a man knocks your-eye out knock his out. If a man breaks your tooth break his. Retort for retort, sarcasm for sarcasm, irony for irony, persecution for persecution, wound for wound. Christ said, ."Pray for them that de3pitefully usa you." They looked at his eye. It was like any other man's eye, except perhaps more speaking. They felt his hand, made of bono and muscle and nerves and flesh, just like any other hand. Yet what bold treatment of subjects.what supernatural demands, what strange doctrine! They felt the solid earth under them, and yet Christ said, "I bear up the pillars of this world." They looked at the moon. He said, "I will turn it into blood." They looked at the sea. He said, "I will hush R.V They lookod at the stars. He said, "I will shake them down like untimely figs." Did ever one so young say things so bold? It was all against him. After the battle of Antietam, when a general rode along the lines, although the soldiers were lying down exhausted, they rose with great enthusiasm and huzzaed. As Napoleon returned-from his captivity his —flflst step on the wharf shook all the kingdome, and 250,000 men flocked to his standard. It took 3,000 troops to watch him in his exile. So there have been men of wonderful magnetism of person. But hear me while I tell you of a poor young man who came up Man Without n Diploma. All this was against Christ. So the The proverbial foible of many per- faot that he was not regularly gradu- «ons for concealing or misrepresenting Ated was against him. If a man come their ages is proved by the census to W itn the diplomas of colleges and be a reality. Careful scrutiny of the- schools and theological seminaries, returns of population according to ages and he has been through foreign tFavin successive census years shows that there Is a widespread tendency among "hoys and girls to report ^themselves older than they really are, as if to anticipate manhood and womanhood. Among those who are approaching middle age.the tendency is in the'Opposlte direction, namely, to report them, selves younger than they are. Finally in the case of the very old, there is an inclination to add to their years. They seem to take pride in every year they have lived since they could boast that they were octogenarians. It is a el, the world Is disposed to listen. But here was a man who had graduated at no osllege/ had not in any academy by ordinary means learned the alphabet of the language he spoke,and yet he proposed to talk, to instruct in subjects which had confounded the mightiest intellects. John says: "Tho Jews marveled, saying, Hony ha,th this man letters, having never learned V We, in our day, have found out that a man without a diploma may know as much as a man with one and that a college can not transform a sluglittle strange that this weakness of gard into a philosopher or a theologhuman nature should be so widespread ical seminary teach a fool to preach, and that both men and women should | An empty head* after the Hying on of be so sensitive upon the subject of hands of the presbytery is empty etui. their ages, seeing that there is no. But it shocked all esfctlng prejudices eondltlpn or circumstance of life for in those olden times for a man with -from Nazareth to produce a thrill which has never been excised by any other. Napoleon had around him tho • {-memories of Marengo and Austorlitz and Jena, but hero was a men who had fought no battles, who wore no epaulets, who brandished no sword. He had probably never geen a prince or shaken hands with,a nob-Ieman. The only extraordinary person we know .of as being in his company was his own mother, and she was so poor that in the most delicate and solemn hour that comes to a woman'3 soul she was obliged to lie down. among drivers grooming the beasts of burden. The.Qvention of Lineage. I imagine Christ one day standing in the streets of Jerusalem. A man descended from high lineage is standing beside him, and says: "My father was a merchant prince. He had a castle on, the beach in Galilee. Who was youir father?" Christ answers, "Joseph,/the carpenter." A man from Athens is standing there unrolling his/parchment of graduation and says to Christ, "Where did you go to school?" Christ answers, "I never graduated." Aha, the idea of such an unheralded young man attempting to command the attention of the world/ As well some little fishing village on Long Island shore attempt tc^arraign New York. Yet no sooner does he set foot in the towns or cities of Judaea than everything is in commotion. The people go out on a picnic, taking only food enough for a day, yet are so .fascinated with Christ that at the risk of sitarvins they follow him out into the wilderness. A nobleman falls down flat before him and say3, "My daughter is dead." A beggar tries to rub the dimness from his eyes and says, "Lord, that my. eyes may be opened." "A poor, sick, panting woman presses through the crowd and says, "I must touch tho hem of his garment." Children who love their mother better than any one else struggle to get into his arms, and to kiss his cheek, and to run their fingers through his hair, and for all time putting Jesus so in love with the little ones that there is hardly a nursery In Christendom from . /, which the todWdual is less responsible j no scholastic pretensions and no grad- which he does not take one, saying, than his aft, u»tlon from a JemraiTittriHutJoa to set "I must have them.

It swallowed the Central' American, the President and the Spanish armada as easily as any fly that ever floated on it. The inland lakes are fully as terrible in their wrath. Some of us Who have sailed on it know that Lake Galilee, when aroused in a storm, is overwhelming, and yet that sea crouched in his presence, and licked his feet He knew all the waves and the wind. When he beckoned they came.- When he frowned, they fled. The heel of his foot made no indentation on tho solidified water. Medical science has wrought great changes in rheumatic limbs and diseased blood, but when the muscles are entirely withered no human power can restore them, and when a limb is once dead it is dead. But, here is a paralytic—his hand lifeless. Christ says to him, "Stretch forth thy hand." and ho stretches it forth. In the eye infirmary how many diseases of that delicate organ have been cured? But Jesus says to one blind, "Be .open!" and the light-of heaven rushes through gates that have never before been opened. The frost or an ax may kill a tree, but Jesus smites one dead with a word. Chemistry, may do many wonderful. things, but what chemist at a wedding when the wine gave out could change a pall of water into a cask of wine? What human voice could command a school of fish? Yet here is a voice that marshals the scaly tribes, until in a place whero they had let down the net.,and pulled it up with no fish in it they let it down again, and the disciples lay hold and began to pull, when by reason of the multitude of fish the net broke. Na-^ ture is his servant. The flowers—he twisted them into his, sermons; the winds—they were his lullaby when he slept in the boat; the rain—It hung glitterlngly on the thick foliage of the parables; the star of Bethlehem—it sang a Christmas carol over his birth; the rocks—they beat a dirge at his death. Behold his victory over the grave! The hinges of the family vault become very rusty because they are never opened except to take another in. There is a knob on. the outside of the door of the sepuleher, but none on the inside. Here comes the conqueror of death.' He enters that realm and says, "Daughter of Jairus, sit up!" and she sits up. To "Lazarus, "Come forth!" and he came forth. To the widow's son he said, "Get up from that bier!" and he goes home with his mother. Then Jesus snatched up the keys of death and hung them to his girdle and cried until all the. graveyards of the earth heard him, "O Death, I will, be thy plague! O Grave, I will be thy-destruction!" The Supernatural &atnro. No man could go through all the obstacles I have described, you say, without havlhg a nature supernatural. In that arm, /amid its muscle.! and* nerves and bones, were intertwisted the energies of omnipotence. In the syllables of that voice there was the emphasis of the eternal God. That footthat walked the deck of the ship/ in Gennesaret shall stamp kingdoms of darkness into demolition. This poverty struck Christ owned Augustus, owned the sanhedrin, o^ned Tiberias, owned all the castles on its beach and all the skies Pthat looked down into its water, ownedail the earth and all the heavens. %6 him of the plain coat belonged tho robes of celestial royalty. He who walked the road to Emmaus the lightnings were the fire shod steeds of his chariot. Yet there are those who look on and see. Christ turn water into wine, and t h e r say, "It was sleight of hand!" And they see Christ raise the dead to life, and they say, "Easily explained; not really dead; playing dead." And they see Christ giving sight t a the blind man, and they say, "Clairvoyant doctor.'' Oh what shall, they do on the day when Christ rises up in judgment and the i hills shall rock and the trumpets shall call, peal cn peal? ChrUt • Sympathizer. My subject also reassurete us of the fact that in all our struggles we have a sympathizer. You cannot tell Christ anything new about hardship. I do not t/think that wide ages of eternity will take'the scars from his punctured side and his lacerated temples and his sore hands. Yop will never have a burden weighing so many pounds as that burden Christ carried up the bloody hill. You will never have any suffering worse than he endured, when with tongue hot and cracked and inflamed and swollen, he moaned, 'T thirst" YOU will never be surrounded by worse hostility than that which stood around Christ's feet, foaming, reviling, livid with rage, howling down his prayers, and snuffing up the smell of blood. O ye faint hearted, O ys troubled, O ye persecuted one, here is A heart that can sympathise with you! J BY A. 1 4 . .

Simeon Ford, a plain, ordinary, ,*ver^day hotel-ksap*!!. H* is inQ^soujhi after - in New Yoj* Joday ttyuv Mr. Depew himself, in «n|t0.«of the fact,that thisnew star in tjie,g>'atoricVKsVy..waspractically unknown six months ago. It is possible that Mr, Ford's lifework has molded, him into an afterdinner speak«r at the first water, tor* hotels are frequently the scene*, of ^dinner parties. Or is It possible that hiaV business has had nothing to do with the polishing up of bis auiUJty to thepolnt where is gleams like a .diamond. No one is quite able to say-Just how it all came about But coma about it has, and New York is proud of the occurrence. Mr. Ford is in charge of the Gran<l Union hotel, and became interested in. that hostelry first in 1SS3, when he SIMEON FORD, married Miss Julia Shaw, daughter of the Grand Union's proprietor. In appearance Simeon Ford is tall and thin, with a solemn face, which he knows full well how to keep under perfect control. He is 43 years of ago, and was born in Lafayette, Ind. He studied law for awhile, but his sucess was poor, and he didn't bother with legal quip3 and quirks very long. Mr. Ford is the saddest when he Is saying the*,4 ftunnlest things, and, ttnang* to say:, bJs conversation is just as aroua^g-tjis^his^prepaid speeches. He is * great deal' like Mark TwaiiL in that he e&ceHs in the art of,humorous anti-cTRflkX, fpd- also -a great deal like Artemus Waif*!. . The" nasal drawl Which Is thtsiPVkl-I^Trade oTe'very American humorist Is his, and lie knows how to use it to the very best advantage. Speaking of himself tho other day, Mr. Fora said: "I am very nervous for two week3 before making an after-dinner speech. It is a very serious matter with me. You have to study the question about which you are to speak from every side, and it keeps you awake nights thinking of good things to say. "The idea prevails that all an afterdinner speaker has to do is to assume a full-dress suit and slowly rise up when called upon and .captivate the audience with wit and eloquence. "If the after-dinner speaker told the truth, he would acknowledge, that for two long, sickening weeks his wife and children have been made wretched by listening to recitals, and that he has had suspicions aroused as to his sanity, by muttering it in public, places. "It is awful to think that after-dinner speakers are to be brought into competition with living pictures, skirt dancers and Little Egypts. This is a- serious matter, and I tell you tho people who arrange thesQ programs for after-dinner speeches should not place Chauncey M. Depew in competition with the Barrison sisters. Let a man in a moment of temporary aberration ol the mind make a sueessful afterdinner speech and his peace of mind as well as his digestive organs are irretrievably ruined. Years ago I made a speech, which, surprising as it may seem, was regarded as a model. Up. to that t i m e ! had been a merry, laughter-loving youth, and carking care rested but little upos'my'clustering curls. Now look at me^—'slcklled o'er with a pale cast of thought.'" Jeweled Parses. The oblong square purses, which open with an ordinary clasp, are more popular now than the envelope-shaped purses, which have jewe&d buttons. These purses are studded with jewels In gold ring settings, in some the jew* els outlininig the edges of the purses, and in others dotting the whole of th side. One, for instance, has the entire side covered With amethysts, cut diamond- shape, set at regular intervals.

J. W. Nash, and he is feeling pretty proud and wondering how o d he will be when he holds another such hand. It happened this way: He received on the deal, which was by his partner, the five of diamonds, hearts and clubs, Jack of spades and a seven, the latter card being discarded into the crib. The turn-up waa the five of spades. His hand then counted 15, 16, four of a kind, and his nob, or 29, which is the largest number possible. A druggist in Santiago, Chile, receivedixom_ a New-Orleansr house-some toothache drops which were guaranteed by an advertisement on the label, to cure aching teeth in ten minutes. A sufferer bought a bottle, tried the drops, and held his watch while he waited for relief. At the end of ten minutes his tooth uched as badly as ever. He had the druggist arrested, and he had to pay a fine of $1,000 and was sentenced to three months in jail.—New Orleans Picayune. The credit man of one of the large department stores in New York was asked what class of customers were most ^trustworthy. "Army and navy people can have all the credit they wish, and no questions asked," was the reply.

The story that a painted advertisement of a liver remedy on the side of an Iowa barn cauaed a span of mules to run away, resulting in the death of one mule and the driver, causes Gomer Davies to remark that nobody but a fool mule would stop to read an advertisement painted on a building or a fence, anyhow,—Topeka Capital.

It is* said that a new industry is that of lullaby singers.

There are twenty-six rice mills in Bangkok, and, although the first one in the country was started by an American, of these mills to-day four are European and all the rest art owned or managed by Chinese. ^jrattempt to K^ "uob a lino* Tomorrow, C. ••.

She stepped behind him just in time to catch the end of tbe scythe. Dr. Sigler bound the wound and she will soon be all right. It ie needless to say that if this town bad the most meager appliance to extinguish fire, Mr. Teeples barn could have been saved without damage.

Mackenzie M M M A II** * i M M M ) k M M M M M M N M M M n M M M H M M ^ ^ K CHAPTER V—(Continued.) It was a bright moonlight night, and the pale silvery light fell on the long rows of gum treees and netttles, giving a strange white sheen on their leaves, and tracing a curious checkered pattern on the path below. Suddenly, as Bluebell looked, a horseman shot Into view—a horse riding straight up towards the house. Even as Bluebell, with a sudden little gasping cry drew back, she saw the rider pause; He turned his horse round and waved something—it loooked like a p i s t o l - in the air, as if to some* one behind him; .then, turning again, rode straight up the avenue. Bluebell only wal*?d to see another and yet another horseman shoot into view, then, turning quickly to her door, she opened it and flew along the passage to her father's room. She knocked furiously. In a moment her father's voice demanded sleepily., "Who is there?" "Father, father!" she cried, her voice ringing out clear and strong, though hfir heart seemed almost bursting and her tongue parched and dry. "Rise quickly and get your revolver! The Boers, they are coming up the avenue! They tire almost on us'!"" She could hear her father mutter a wild oath. At that moment it sent a shudder through her. There were only women in the house. Besides her aunt and herself there was Marie, t h e girl they • had had as servant for two years, and two half-casto Zulu girls, who slept downstairs. The native "boy3" slept in an outside shed. Adam Leslie and Bluebell herself were_ the only two who could defend themselves against an attacking party, for Bluebell had long since learned to-use firearms,- "I am ready!" cried her father in a moment. "'Let the villains come on! I'm more than a match for a score of Boer dogs!" "Father, father, oh, don't speak like that!" cried the girl as "Leslie flung open the room door. "Let us speak pleasantly to them. Perhaps, after all, they have no unfriendly intentions. Why should they? We have never clone them any harm. We have always " "Hist!" exclaimed her father. A horrible spasm had passed over his face; but at that moment the scuffle cf ~w'haT"seemed a score of horses' hoofs aounded under the stcop outside, and p. loud exclamation was uttered. "Keecp back, girl! I shall go to the window myself," said Leslie, in a low voice. _ Bluebell stood back a little. At the same-moment a sound of shrieks behind told her that the servants had •been roused from their slumbers. She turned and saw Miss Elizabeth,, pale and horror-stricken, in her blue duffle dressing-gown, heT head covered with the ugly white cap which she always wore during the night, hurrying towards her, followed by the shriek* ing Marie and the howling native girls. "Keep them quiet, it Will be all right, auntie. They can't mean us harm. It is the Boers," Bluebell said, in short whispers, for she was listening at the same time to what went on at the window. Her father had flung it open. A voice from below called out: "Open the door to ns, Adam Leslie, and surrender yourself as our prisoner, or we shall burn yoirr house about your ears!" Bluebell did not recognize the voice, which, though Dutch in accent, spoke excellent English. Her father answered, in a voice that trembled with passion: "I will not open the door t o you, you Boer dogs! What do you want with me?" "Better'speak civily, for the sake of your own life!" retorted t h e voice *in answer. "You're a base informer, and, but for the kindness of Almigthy God, we should Ijave been without our leaders through you! Surrender yourself prisoner, or we'll hang you to the nearest treee and burn your hoase and all it contains! That's the best course with villains like you!" "I refuse to surrender!" shouted Leslie, be3ido himself with rage. He turned to Bluebell. "Bring me my revolver—loaded!" he cried, between his teeth. But, instead of obeying, Bluebell sprang forward, and, pushing her jfalher aside, interposed herself between him and the window. With eyes that hardly seemed to see she looked down on the men below—an army they seemed to her excited mind —tall, stalwart fellows in khaki and wide Boer hats, each man armed, and each with stern and relentless gaze on the window. In front, on a fine, highstepping horse, sat the man who was evidently the leader—a young man, dressed like the others; but with a face—not unhandsome though it was— whose merciless determination struck a cold chill through Bluebell. "You make a mistake," she said, and her voice rang out clear and sweet after the men's hoarse, angry voices. "My father is no informer. Some one has been telling you a wicked lie. We were always friendly with any Boers that we knew." The young man looked behind him. The next instant a horseman in the background rode forward and came alongside the Boer leader. Bluebell gave a faint cry, almost staggering backward, and she heard a fearful oath burst from her father as he, too, recogni2ed the man. It was Gerald Mooro. CHAPTER VI. In the moonlight his mocking, dark face had a look upon it that seemed to Bluebell's eyes as malevolent and wicked as that of any fiend could be. He was looking straigth up at the window. "There is no necessity for undeceiving your daughter, Mr. Leslie," he said; "but, you see, there's absolutely no use in resistance—all is known now. If you don't surrender yourself && prisoner it will be worse for yourself. The commando have orders to shoot you if you resist." A shriek broke from Miss Elizabeth's lips behind Bluebell; but the girl uttered neither word nor cry as her horrified eyes, looking dark and large in the midst of her ghastly white face, strained themselves to catch a glance from her father. He gave her none., His own face was-contorted and convulsed with some terrible emotion, the veins in his forehead were swelling to bursting. Ferr a moment or two he could not speak, though his lip3 twitched convulsively. Then suddenly his voice broke from him, low and hoarse—a voice that made Bluebell shudder. "You traitor!" he said, and his tone was terrible to hear, so that even the Boer~ leader shrank away a little, glancing at Moore doubtingly. "I see your game now! You urged me 10 give information, and then you yourseiriumed and informed on me! You are a Judas Iscariot! And I would have sold my child into your hands for gold! May God Almighty forgive me! My -" The words were strangled in his throat. He made a wild movement, as if he would have leaped out of the window upon Moore; then a sudden, strange convulsion shook him from head to foot, and he fell back against Bluebell, rolled from her grasp, and, falling to the floor, lay there, after one or two convulsive motions, per^ fectly still. Miss Elizabeth gave another cry, and moving forward, bent over him. He lay on his side, his face still a deep, almost a purple, red TTTliue, his eyes half open but glazed and unseeing, his jaw dropped. Bluebell, stricken dumb-and motionless, stood beside him, unable to make any attempt to raise him from the ground. Meantime a rapid consultation was going on be-, tween the leader of the commando and Gerald Moore. "You can set fire to the house and do as you like with the old man!"said Moore, savagely. "I have something else to do. The girl is my property and I claim her." "Do as you like," replied the young leader coldly. He eyed Moore with cold contempt. Notwithstanding the use that they had made of Moore, his was not a character which commended itself to the Boer leaders, who knew -more about him than did most Englishmen. J'I have nothing to do with any dirty private work. My duty is to take Adam Leslie, dead or alive, and I mean to confine myself to that." In a few minutes the word of command had been given to the commando, who proceeded to break down the door, and also to force their way into the house by means of the glass door of a bedroom which opened onto the stoop. The women upstairs heard the noise, and Miss Elizabeth uttered a terrified exclamation, while the frightened servants howled and shrieked in concert "I shall go to them and demand their right to force themselves into any one's house like,this!" said Blusbell, suddenly starting as if from a horrible dream. Before Miss Elizabeth could prevent her she had moved from the room and out to the head of the stairs. All was dark below, only she could see that the outer door had been opened, and a flood of moonlight streamed in upon tho floor. In its light she saw the. Boer3, i n their sandycolored clothes, striding through that beam of light But she had no time to speak, no time even to think. Before she knew what was about to happen she was seized in a strong, almost vice-like grip, something dark, close and stifling was fastened tightly around her face, so that, she could not utter a sound save a low, stifled moan, and she felt herself lifted off her feet and carried as easily as it she was a child downstairs. She struggled violently, making wild efforts to free her hands and arms/ which were bound to her side by a cloth; but it was useless. As well might a fly have struggled to escape from an imprisoning web. She could not feel the change from the warmth of the air inside to the chilly atmosphere without; but she guessed that her captor had immediately passed outside with her, and in a few minutes she could feel the jolting of his steps as* he passed over tho rough and uneven path outside the homestcading. A deadly despair succeeded the first wild revolt of Bluebell's senses. She could have no doubt as to who her captor was. She had been carried off as truly as was ever maid of the eighteenth century by the man who, for some-reason of his own—Bluebell had never thought it love—wished to make her his v/ife. She was in the snare of the fowler, as powerless to free herself as any r/bor, fluttering, brokenwinged bird. The thought of what she was leaving behind was terrible to her as her unknown fate. Her father had seemed dead as she looked upon him. Was he really so? It almost seemed to Bluebell's shuddering heart that it would be better for him if he were. ^ She had been stupefied at first by the fearful accusation made against her father, but in the moments that elapsed between his seizure by the visitation of God and her seizure* by man's villainy Bluebell had slowly been coming out of her stupor, to realize that it might bo true. If it were so—if her father, tempted by the traitorous villainy oi the man whom he had called a Judas Iscariot, had -committed this, base .d^edj-theush. Bluebell could not find it in her heart to call it a crime, then the punishment meted out to him might be so terrible that natural death would be a thousand times preferable. And then poor Miss Elizabeth, left to face those terrible men, with, perhaps, the dead body of her brother in the house! Bluebell felt her heart torn with anguish and anxiety as she thought of ft. Again she made violent struggles to free herself. Alas! they were worse than useless. The strong arms held her as in a vice. At this time no word had been uttered. Suddenly Bluebell's captor paused; the next moment Bluenell heard a long, peculiar call rising on the night air. It was like the "vooee!" of the Australian bush. After-a momentary pause it was answered. Then Bluebell's captor continued his walk,"jolting and stumbling at every step. Presently there was another pause. rThen Bluebell fancied she heard the sound of horse's hoofs, but her hearing was so deafened by the thick cloth that she could not be sure.

But the men were too intent on the grim work'hefore them, so, in the hail of lead, when Private Cory dropped to the ground it was generally understood that a bullet had knocked him over. Such, however, was not the case, as the ambulance corps, following in the rear, soon discovered. He had merely fainted from fright. The doctor turned over the shivering bit of humanity to look for the wound, found none, and smiled. Cases of this kind were not unknown to him. "Poor fellow," h e ' murmured. "Let him remain with the rest." "No, he is not hurt at all," he said to one of his assistants. "His wound will come afterwards when he recovers from that faint, and God help him, then. There is no bullet wound that will give him the agony that is before him." "Shall I throw a bucket of water over him, sir?" asked a man with a blood-stained bandage around his head, but sufficient of his face left uncovered to show his intense disgast at his comrade. "No, you must not disturb him," was the curt answer, and he turned to give his attention to the burdens which the stretchers were now quickly depositing in the improvised hospital. "Poor lad," he mused, a3 he be"nT over his work, "I must give him a word of encouragement when he comes round." But when, later on, Private Cory staggered to his feet, the kindly doctor was too busy to notice him. He looked wonderingly around the tent. Then the remembrance of what he had T minutes, however, she knew she Hadbeen, correct She felt herseiTTilted" up and placed on the sjde-saddle of some animal, which she guessed,, from the height and from the use of the side-saddle, to be a horse. Then a voice spoke close to her ear —the voice that was so hateful to Bluebell, and with such good reason. "There is no use in resistance; you are wholly in my power, and I am determined you shall not escape me now. You are on horseback. I am going to release your arms so that you may hold on with all your might, for we are going over a bad bit of ground. If you don't make any resistance 1 will take off that head-dress presently, but the more resistance you make the worse you will be treated. And let me tell you it is perfectly useless; nothing but death can save you from me." Of course Bluebell could make no attempt at moving. Her hands were released from the cloth that had pinioned them to her side, reins were placed in her hand, a whip was flicked in the air, and the animal beneath moved forward. For the next hour Bluebell found thinking impossible. The horse jolted, stumbled and bumped at every step, sometimes putting his fore-feet into holes from which he had to beextricated by main force, then plunging over loose clumps of grass or shrubs with such suddenness as almost to unseat her% Bluebell was accustomed to the difficulties of riding on the veldt, but now, disabled by the want of sight, suffocated as she was by the cloth over her head and mouth, she was utterly unable to keep steady, and several times her guide had to seize her as she was falling from the horst. (To be continued.) A MOMENT OF TERROR, done seemed to_rise_ up and strike h im full in the face. He sank down again with a choking sob. He clutched the earth with his hands, as men do when struck klown in battle with a mortal wound. It was a burning hot day— the wounded were suffering terribly fram4he intense heat—but he shivered with cold. Outside the shells were screaming, while now and again came the subdued but harsh growl of the smaller arms. It seemed as if a thousand voices were shouting at him and reproaching him for his cowardice. Then a human voice joined in the wild orchestra. '"" ~~ "You bloomin' cur. Call yourself a man?" It was the stern sergeant of his company, who had been brought in woundfd in Lhiee places before he had given ~apr Tns^Taice was gray wtthrthe pain he was enduring, but he must needs give vent to his disgust at such pusillanimity. A contemptuous smile played about his bloodless lips. "I call it gettin' money under false pretenses. You're clothed and stuffed with the best o' everythink the country can send out, includin' a briar pipe and baccy, and then yer go and—Pah!" and he broke off. "I couldn't hev believed it o' any man in the whole bloomin* company." He 6topped because the pain of his -we4»ds-became so great, and he bic hard the piece of Cavendish he had in his mouth to stifle a groan, but other men took up the cue. No agony of the battlefield could equal what Private Cory was now enduring. He quivered as if acted upon by some powerful electric current, but he made no answer to their taunts, and continued to lie with his face turned to the ground. He tried to reconstruct the wreck of his manhood, but his brain was still in a whirl, and those shrieking sheila outside still seemed to be telling the world that he was a miserable coward. > A man was handing round some broth. He had been hours without food, and the savory odor caused a craving hunger to take possession of -him. A pannikin full was being passed, from which men took a drink, their expectant comrades looking on with eager, wistful eyes. Cory raised his head, hoping his turn had come, but he was immediately greeted with a storm of curses that caused htm to drop k again. Fool that he <vas to expect it. He might have known. At that moment the doctor came up. "Give Cory some of that soup. Hold op, my lad," he said, not unkindly; "you may make a soldier yet. Drink this," and he handed him the tin ves- •ai. "Ha IB a broth of a boy,** shouted a roan, and, this poor Joke /was greeted* with laughter even by those who knew they had but a few hours to live. Cory cat up. The soup teemed to put life into him, and he ceased t o shiver. He was barely out of, his teens, but his face, in its ashy grayness, looked more like that of a man who Had passed his prime. "Feelin* a bit better now?" began the sergeant "He'll run for it as soon as he's able," remarked . the ether. "Whew! listen!" he broke off, as a shell exploded just outside. "They seem tons ve got the range of us now. Nice Christians, these Boers, firing on t h e Red Cross." For a few seconds there was silence as the men realized their danger. /The angry growl of t h e quick-firers was every now and theft punctuated by the long, deep-mouthed baying of the Boers' Long Tom. "They are aiming at us, by God!" shouted a man, running into the tent with his right a rm hanging helpless by his side. Immediately there was a violent concussion; the air was filled with dust, smoke, and a pungent smell, a n * the end of the tent lit up with a tongue of flame. In an instant three or four men sprang forward and the flre was extinguished. "The devils a r e firing a t us," cried the sergeant. 'The next shot will count a bit if I am not mistaken." Scarcely were the words out of h i s mouth when a bug© rent suddenly opened in the canvas, and a shell dropped right in the middle of the . The wounded^ ducked tmder their covering, as if they would bury themselves beneath the ground. The doer tor, with another, rushed forward; b u t Private Cory was before them. "Not you, doctor!" he shouted, a s he seized the bomb. "Quick, my man! Into the bucket with it!' said the doctor. "No! There'3 no water! My God—" But Cory had dashed through the opening and was running like a hare. They were all dumfounded for a moment. Then a cheer broke from them when they realized what he was doing —a cheer in which dying; men joined. "Throw it away! Now! Throw it!"" yelled the doctor after him. Still he~Tan~ The music of what h e knew was their applause rang In his ears. Nothing had ever sounded no sweet to him. He smiled. It reminded him faintly of hia achievements in t h e football field, when the crowd roared their approval. The ball he carried now was heavier, but the applause— only he knew what it meant to him, and he clutched the destructive missile like a child hugging a doll. He felt inclined to kiss .It. If he lived he would be a man-and a comrade again. If not—but he r a n on. Some one has wisely said that it requires often but the turn of-a straw to make a coward a hero, or a hero & coward. Cory was now a man again. The paralysis of panic that had seized him a few hours ago and had frozen his heart existed now only as a hideous dream. Another ten yards—he was quite fifty from t h e tent. He heard them urging him to throw it. A few yards more, then with a tremendous effort he hurled it from* him. Instantly there was an explosion, and Cory fell on his face. "Poor chap! He is done for, I doubt," said the doctor, as several raced forward, followed by a number cf wounded, who limped in pain. They knelt by hisr poor shattered body. The sergeant, his old tormentor, regardless of his own wounds, had been among t h e first who rushed to his assistance. Cory raised t h e only hand left him, which the N. C. O. clasped murmuring something about forgiveness. A smile of exultation played about his comrade's face for a moment, then the film of death gathered over his eyes. He tried to speak, but no words came in obedience to the moving of his lips, for his soul had taken its flight to that land where brave spirits are at rest.— Mainly About People. R a i n Scarce.

During the year before when the lights were abolished, Pinckney was known as a sleepy town oy nearly everyone that visited it. If a little ress money was used on some street work and put into the lighting the majority would be better pleased. PORTAGE LAKE BOOMING.

London's old underground railway is to be revolutionized by the use of electric motors.

The Supreme court of Massachusetts has recently decided that the drug- j gists of Boston must not sell cigars or tobacco on Sunday. This is the outcome of a long contest wagged against them by the retail cigar dealers who are not allowed to sell their goods on that day. When they were debarred from selling they naturally protested against the_right of druggists to sell, and the fight which has been going en for years has resulted in their victory. After two years of investigation in ( nearly all the principal cities of the union the United States industrial commission has completed a report en general labor laws which, it is understood, will recommend that labor laws be made uniform throughout the states. A digest of national and state labor legislation will be of great value to the industrial and political interests of the country, but when it comes to specific recommendations in favor of extending the labor laws of certain northern states, put upon the statute books for political purposes, to all the states of the union, the commission will be skating upon thin ic*. It is more than haif a century since the Mexican war closed, and this may seem to be a rather Lite day to be delimiting the boundary between the two countries. The western half of the frontier iz noi "a"natural Boundary, such as the Rio Grande supplies, and it was surveyed and marked oy monuments between- 1819 and I<S5d,--but the monuments were few in number and not of permanent materials. The present international boundary commission, appointed in 1891, resurveyed this part of the boundary and marked it with many monuments consisting of hollow iron posts filled with concrete. Soon the work along the Rio Grande "writ be completed and therc~^rtrfr3~ho~ further cause for dispute as to the frontier of the two countries. r 1 ' ; — Bow to Grow the FUwt AttersC Asters naturally succeed best In rich, loamy soils and the cool temperature of the northern states, notably northern New York and the New England states, and in similar locations in the west, but with proper attention to the season of planting equally fine flowers can be had In almost ev.ery section of the country. In our own locality, where seed is planted early in May in the open ground, the flower-buds are apt to blight during the very hot, dry weather of midsummer, or else, if the weather is more favorable, the flowers are frequently destroyed by the black beetles,, which appear in great numbers when they commence to flower. Both of these difficulties are easily avoided, however, by sowing the seed in shallow drills in a cold frame or lu boxes of soil in the warm, sunny windows of the living-room in the hous8 early in March. The young plants are transplanted to stand threa inches apart, or else planted In small flowerpots as soon a3 they are one or two inches in height,''and then planted in the flower-beds when the three are coming out in leaf. Treated in this manner they make very fine plants, coming in flower much earlier than from seed sown in the open ground, and avoid both the blight and the periodic attacks of the blaok beetles. Naturally, the fine flowers raised by this method create a desire for a longer period of bloom, and we have discovered in our atrial grounds that by sowing the seed during the latter part of May and early in June the plants grow finely during the summer months and commence flowering__early__ in the fall, after the period durins which the blight and the beetles -make tbeir attacks, and furnish us fine blooms until the plants are cut down by the heavy frosts late in the fall. Thus, by adapting our season of planting to the climate, we are enabled to have two periods of fine bloom against the single •flowering season of more favorable locations. Not only is this double period of bloom most satisfactory for our heavy, loamy soil, but it is also equally adapted for light, sandysoils, whore equally fine blooms may be grown in the same manner if. care is taken to make the soil rich with well-rotted manure; in such locationit will also be of great service to pine:- a mulch of line hay or grass on th.' soii in which the plants are growing This will not only help to preserve the moisture in the soil, but will alse greatly assist the fine growth of tile plants by keeping the soil cool during the heat of mid-day. The seed should be sown thinly in shallow drills, three inches apart and c'o.Vfire.d__Qne-half-inch deep,..either in the hot-bed or in a finely prepare'1. seed-bed, carefully dug and raked into a fine, loose condition, as early in t h / spring as the soil will break up in a fine, loose condition. The 'aster is quite hardy, and seed may be sown in the open ground about the time the earliest trees are starting out in leaf, SB or when the peach trees are in blos- What is known as the Grand Army bill in pension . legislation, provides that pensions shall not be refused to widows whose income does not exceed $250 a year. The limit hitherto has been $90 a year. Naturally a considerable increase-iB-the-rotlers would take place at once. It is to be noted, too, that pensions to widows last longest. There was, for example, last June one survivor of the war of 1812 on the pension rolls, but there are 2,000 widows of veterans of that war "still drawing pensions. The Spanish war and the war in the Philippines are likely to furnish a goodly number of claims for pensions, the number now being estimated at 25,000. With this increase and the extension of the j scope of legislation, it does not appear that we have reached "bottom" In the pension business. oom. Plants which have been grown in cold frames and hardened off,'by thorough ventilation may be planted out at this time, as they will stahd light frcsrs without injury. Telegrams tp London papers continue to show the remarkable spread of the bubonic plague in at least a dozen parts of the ~world. Here is a summary: At Mauritius, two deaths, two fresh cases. In Bombay the epidemlo has become serious and is spreading. In Calcutta the same condition exists. At Port Said there have been two deaths and the plague is spreading. At Teheran, Persia, since the outbreak of the plague, there have been 200 deaths, but the violence of the epidemic has been modified recently. In Manila from twenty to thirty deaths .daily are reported. At Hongkong there have been fifty-two fresh cases in a fortnight, and ninety-eight deaths since the beginning of the year. At Melbourne two new cases are reported. ,At Sidney 188 cases and fifty-four , deaths have been reported. The mayor Is paying 12 cents a head for rats, which are believed to cause the spread of the disease. In. Noume, New Caledonia, the plague is raging, and there have been 23$ deaths. At Brisbane there have been'three cases; at Perth one death; Auckland the same. In Buenos Ayres the plague has been-raging gince the middle of March; and t h e n have been forty deaths in two Puro Seed. Lew priced seed, especially of grasses and clovers, is to be avoided unless the buyer knows for a certainty that It Contains no inferior seed and noWeeds of injurious and objectionable plants Clover and grass seed containing1 weed seeds is not worth the sowing and should not be taken as a gift. Just now this warning may be of value, as it is reported that there is a strong tendency of the market to advance. In such cases 'the farmers may be led to purchase seed at the same price they formerly paid, which in this case will mean a cheaper seed. When prices for seeds advance and the purchasers make a fuss about it, the seller is tempted-to even up matters by taking old seed and mixing with the new or else taking seed that is impure with weed seeds and mixing it with the nest; this makes a grade that is very deceptive. A man will sometimes save a dollar on a bushel of seed and afterward pay 525 in the work of eradicar^ <ng the weeds from his land. Corn for Fodder. Corn that is to be grown for fodder should not be planted too close. The old idea used to be to sow it very jlo.se under the impression that the closer it was planted the more would be produced on an acre. The opposite Is the fact to a certain limit. it should be planted far enough apart to permit each stalk to get a good growth. This well developed stalk will be able to make strong roots and draw jxoiiriahment from soil further down. When the corn is sown close each stalk makes a very meager growth and the roots are small. The feeding depth is curtailed at the expense of the total yield. The thickness of planting cannot be fixed by an arbitrary rule, but must depend on the strength of the soil and the variety of corn gjown. But the fact enuuld not be lost sight of that the stalks should be permitted to get about their full development to be good fodder. \ . jay. **V i 55 < \** You're not feeling just right this spring, are you ?

Almost positive confirmation has now reached the American authorities from England in regard to the expect* ed international lawn tennis match for th«*-,»ew Davis International Challenge Cup, and there seems little doubt that the match will be held at Hoboken, beginning on July 31. Persistent rumors declare that the famous Doherty brothers and H. S. Mahony, who was here three years ago, will make. up the challenging team, and they are expected to arrive in New York late in July. If the British team is made up as expected, the Doherty brothers will represent England in the doubles, and the older brother, Champion R. F. Doherty, and Mahony in the singles. This team would be the strongest that Great Britain could possibly produce, and the American experts would find it a difficult task to keep their new international trophy at home. A recent issue of the official organ of the lawn tennis players announces that unless some new man upsets all present calculations between now and thn middle. of July, or one of the old veterans shows unexpected form, the American team will be composed of Champion M. D. Whitman and D. F. D'avis, the donor of the new cup, in the singles and Davis and Ward, the national champions, in the doubles. If this should prove to be the composition of the home team it will be curiously like that of the challenging visitors, as it will include the national champions of both countries in both singles and doubles, and the next best players in singles to help out the champion in that section of the contest. Neither side will be able to offer any excuse for defeat if the teams are made up in this way.—Cincinnati. Enquirer. G e t t i n g Rid of H i m .

He was not a favorite among the several hundred of hands whom he employed, so the terra "doubtful" might have been appropriately used in defining his chance of gaining their votes. Consequently, his opponent was smiling up his sleeve at the idea of a certain "walk over." Eut on the result of the poll becoming known the countenance of the latter can be better imagined than described, for the employer of labor had beaten him by a majority of nearly 800. Anxious to know if theTe had been any bribery in the affair, he employed an agent to sift the matter out. The agent's first move was to the manufacturer's foundry works, and tfcere"ih* foilowlnfe conversation took place: Agent—How was it that yon voted for your master, when you all have such a bad opinion of him? One of^tfce. workmen blurted out: 'Weel, yer see, mon, we voted fer 1m so as he cud put hisself away in the house. We don't want him here!"—Londnn Tit-Bits. Freah Wood*, t . "What's become of all the dfeTcct writers?*' "Oh, they are tyisy getting up historical novels"—-Chicago Record. Hon. W. V. SUlllvan, U. 8. Senator from Mississippi." Hon. W. V. Sullivan, United States Senator from Mississippi, in a letter recently written to Dr. Hai«tman from Oxford, Miss., says the following: "For some time I have been a sufferer from catarrh in its most incipient stage, so much so that I became alarmed as to my general health. But, hearing of Pe-ru-na as a good remedy, I gave it a fair trial and soon began to improve. Its effects were distinctly beneficial, removing the annoying symptoms, and was particularly good as a tonic. "I take pleasure in recommending your great national catarrh cure, Peru- na, as the best I have ever tried." "W. V. Sullivan." • Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

The conversation had not been animated, and there came a lull, as the night was too hot for small talk. The major of the regiment, a clean-cut man of 56, turned toward his next neighbor at the table, a young subaltern, who was leaning back in his chair, with his hands clasped behind his head, staring through the cigar smoke a t the celling. The major ,fm» slowly looking the man over, from his handsome face down, when with a sadden alertness and in a quiet, steady voice, hejsaid: "Don't move, please, Mr. Cajfrutiaers. I want to try an experiment with you. Don't move a muscle.'*., "All right, major," replied the subaltern, without-even- turning his eyes. "Hadn't the slightest idea of moving, I assure you! What's the game?" By this time all the others were listening in a lazily, expectant way. "Do you think," continued the major—and his voice trembled just a little—"that you can keep absolutely Btill for, say, tv/o minutes—to save your life?" "Are you joking?" "On the contrary, move a muscle and you are a dead man. Can you stand the strain"?" -^"he subaltern barely whispered, "Yes," and his face paled slightly. "Burke," said the major, addressing an officer across the table, "pour some of that milk into a saucer and set in on the floor here just at the back of me. Gently, man! Quiet!" Not "a word was spoken as the officer filled the saucer, walked with it carefully around the table and set it down where the major had indicated on the floor. Like a marble statue sat the young subaltern in his white linen clothes, while a cobra di copello, which had been crawling up the leg of his trousers, slowly raised its head, then turned, descended to the floor and glided toward the milk. Suddenly the silence was broken by the report of the major's revolver, and the snake lay dead on the floor. "Thank you, major," said the subaltern, as the two men shook hands warmly. "You have saved my life!" "You're welcome, my boy," replied the senior, "but you did your share."—Scottish American.

To keep a horse in a dark stable Is cruel to the animal and dangerous to its owner. When led out'the sudden change from darkness to daylight is very trying to the horse's eyes. The retina becomes deadened and more or less useless, and after a time the sight is seriously impaired. The horse starts and shies at objects it sees imperfectly, and many a dangerous accident has been caused by this rather than any vicious habit of the animal. Japanese servants are more and more in demand every year in New York. They are looked upon as more capable than any other kinds of domestic help. There is one serious objection to them.

From two to five cents a day will save a life. There is not a moment to be lost. \* A meeting of the citizens ot Pinckney and vicinity will be held at the opera house Saturday evening of this week to see what can be done for the famine sufferers.

As Mrs. Frank Waechter was in the back yard of her home, 479 Wilkins street, Detroit, on the afternoon of the Gth, there was a sudden, explosion, and her one-story house was torn to pieces. The next instant Frank Blezinski. who was engaged in making some gas connection:-., with his clothing on fire, crawled through a hole in the floor and dashed into the street and shut off the gas. The floor was ripped up as thoroughly as if the work had been done with a battering ram, and the heavy roof was thrown 25 feet away into the .street The walls were toppling over when the fire department arrived a few minutes later, and it was neces- ; sary to pull the front portion down. The Detroit City Gas Co. had been putting in a 4-inch main in Wilkins street and about 50 connections were being made within a few blocks. The gas had been shut off and how an explo- . sion could occur is a mystery to the . gas men. • * • .Body P o u n d B e t w e e n L u m b e r Filet. Robert Black, of Black &. Fox, Bay 'City, made a startling discovery on the morning of the 4th in their lumber yard. The body of a man was lying between two piles of lumber The police and coroner were notified and the Ajody-^emoved-to the morgue. _No_one_ in the crowd that congregated could identify the deceased. A timebook found in one of the pockets indicated that he had once been employed in the Estey organ factory at Owosso. A letter directed to , Thomas O'Connor, Owosso, was taken to belong to thede- •ceased. It was written by Miss Maggie Curtin from St. John's January 25, lUOfl.—It wan uuiicluded frum the uimtents of the letter that the deceased lived in the vicinity of St. Johns. The body is that of a man probably 40years of age. With no evidence to the contrary, it is supposed that O'Connor climbed upon a lumber pile on the night of the 2d or 3d and roiled off between two piles and broke his neck.

Naval Constructor Hob son, the hero of the Merrimao, now at Manila, has been found unfit for duty because of his physical condition. He will be given a leave of absence and another constructor will be eietailed to fill his position temporarily. Constructor Hobson has been at Manila for some time engaged in superintending, the raising of the sunken Spanish, warships. His disability is not believed to be at all serious, but simply the result of a close application to his duties in a tropical climate. A short rest in all probability will restore him to health. Maj. Johnson, with two companios of the 29th infantry and 25 men of the 18th infantry, sailed from Romblon to the neighboring island of Tabias, where they disembarked simultaneously in four columns, converging' upon a central point.

Young Cobb had both legs broken above the knees, besides receiving other serious injuries about the head and body. He was still alive at last accounts, but the chances for his recovery were considered slim. The rig was completely demolished, the horse being carried about 30 rods and run over and horribly mangled. It is supposed the boys had fallen asleep, as approaching trains, where the accident occurred, can be plainly seen. P l r e Still R u g l n g .

Sunday, the 10th, was one of the most eventful and bloody days since tlie great strike on the St. Louis Transit lines began more than one month ago. There were numerous encounters between strikers and other individuals and, the constituted authorities; resulted in three deaths and the wounding of five or more persons, mostly strikers. One of the latter will die. The day was quiet until the afternoon, when the police were taken oft* a number of street ear lines for the purpose of giving them a rest and to test the ability of the Transit Co. to operate without further friction. . During the day several hundred striking street ear men had went to East St. Louis to attend a picnic given for their benefit. Towards evening they began returning home. No serious trouble occurred until a company of nearly LT>0 street car men in uniform and headed by a drum corps marched into the city carrying banners bearing the words: l"Union or nothing; liberty or death."' When they reached the barracks occupied by the /Sheriff's posse, they became somewhat hilarious, and the sheriff *s men rushed out into the street and tJrdered the men to immediately disperse. Some one in the crowd fired a shot, and the deputies then turned loose their repeating shotguns loaded with buckshot. As far as could be learned only four in the strikera' ranks were hit, and not even one of the deputies was wounded. As soon as the firing ceased 20 of the strikers Were arrested. Trade With Oar Mew Poueitloas. Facts that are figures for commercial ists appear in the latest output of statistics form the treasury bureau devoted to that art. In the collation of figures relating to exports from the U. S. to Cuba,.- Puerto Rico and the Hawaiian and Philippine islands, it developes that the sum total for the fiscal year ending with the present month will reach 845,000,000. This will be more than three times as great as in 1890 and more than twice as much as in any year of American commerce with those islands, except 1892-3-4, when reciprocity greatly increased exports to Cuba and Puerto Rico. To Cuba the total for the fiscal year seems likely to be fully 825,000,000, against 87,530,000 in the fiscal year 1H96 and 824,157,000 in the great reciprocity year l$lM, when exports to that island were more than double those of five years earlier. To Puerto Rico, the exports of the year will be in round terms 82,000,000, against an average of 82,750,0()0 in the reciprocity years 1892, 1S93 and 18LM, when exports to that island were double those of earlier years. To the Hawaiian islands the total for the year will be about 815,000,000, or live times as much as in 1S93, nearly four times as much as In 1S90. and more than double the total for 1S9S. To the Philippines the total for 1900 will be about 82,.500,00(), or more than in the entire five years-since 1SS5, the date of which the first record of our exports to the Philippines was made by the treasury bureau of statistics. To the Samoan islands> the exports of the year will be about 8125,- 000, or'nearly as much as in all the years since 1S90. at which date the official records of our exports to those islands began. On the import side, Cuba begin* to show something of her old-time strength as an exporting island, as the total imports into the U. S. from Cuba for the full year will show a total of 831,000,000, against ?M5,000,000 in 1*98 and SIS.500,0()0 in 1897, though they still are less than half the average for the reciprocity years 1892. 1893 and 1894, when our imports from that island averaged over S75,000,000 per annum. From Puerto Uico the imports of the year will be 81,350,000, which is less than the total for any preceding year since 1880, and is presumably due to the destruction by last year's tornado of the crops which supply Puerto Rico's chief articles of export. From the Hawaiian islands the imports, for the full fiscal year will be 821.000^000; or double the average annual importation for the period prior to 1890, and 20 per cent higher than in any preceding year, while from the Philippines, dt»*pit.f> H u r \v.i.r e n n d i f m t i K \vhw»K r»> ...

A severe wind storm swept over a portion of Kansas on the 7th, doing much damage to buildings, fences, trees and growing crops. The clock tower of the M., K. & T. station was damaged and" the elevator at St. Paul, Kan., 12 miles north of Parsons, was destroyed. At. Empori^, Kas., the Crown Point Milling plant was badly damaged by wind and lightning. Many elevators and smokestaks of crushing mills blown down. The storm also struck Miami, I.

A representative of the Associated Press visited Huang Tsun, on the Pekin- Tientsin railway on the 5th, and. found that the station had been burned and two bridges damaged. The officer commanding the Chinese troops on-duty there said 200 of his men had boated and only 50 remained. These fought well, killing a number of the Boxers. The bolting troops were badly cut up in the adjacent broken country. It is stated that 00 were killed or wounded. Some of their bodies were recovered frightfully mutilated. All the Chinese railway employes are deserting their posts and the troops sent to guard the stations appear to be worse than useless.

No details are given, but it is indicated that the Boxers' aciivitv is extending very closely to the Chinese capital. The state department still finds itself unable to do more than it has already ordered respecting the protection of American interests in China, Troops are not available, and even if they were the V.

"Yea, I am innocent," he returns, In a dull sort of way. "My poor'mother, you'll stand to her, doctor?" "Gteorge! oh, my sbnt" His mother's arms are round him. She has heard every word. Her voice Is full of . agony—ac agony that is like a sword in her heart. "Mother, my poor mother!" The man's face works as he holds her to him tight. ' "God bless my soul!" shouts the doctor, "what are we coming to when a man like Saville can act on a trumped-up pack of rubbish? My dear Sirs. Bouverie, don't let this worry you, it is all a wretched mistake! George, man, say you can- s e t i t right!" There was no shame in the eyes of George Bouverie. A kind of prond light leaps into them for a moment; then he puts his mother gently into the .^doctor's arms, saying softly: "Whatever happens, believe I am innocent.

He gets up on t h e car, with white lips and a stony face. H i s eyes are fixed and shew no T*avcTmg. And, before night falls, all Portraven stands at Its doors discussing the bank robbery and the arrest of Mr. Bouverie:; while the cashier lies in his lodgings, and turns his face to the wall, a Mmp heap of shuddering, humanity.

' * • ~• "rie never did 11," soba the mid man; "but it looks very black against .him. Poor lad! He wouldn't say wnere -he got the money he w a s wiring off to that scoundrel, the bookmaker, a n d that went dead against him- and that fellow Grey stuck to his story. He swore it was George who attacked Taim —he swore it through thick and lain. On the face of evidence like that t h e magistrates had nothing to do ©nt send the case for trial; but I can't believe it of George—I can't indeed!" Yet the doctor is wavering. Facts are stubborn v„.ngs and honorable men have become thieves and criminals before now. Mrs. Bouverie lies worn out with grief and anxiety. "Would I had died for thee, my son!" she moans, as David did, and can take no comfort. Her boy, her idol, sent to prison, condemned already In the eyes of] the world. Yet her faith has never wavered. George said he was innocent, and God in His own good time will make that innocence clear. "Then there w a s that awkward bit of evidence about the chloroform," the <doctor goes on, examining and sifting .every bit of evidence. "Dale, that ^chemist, swore that George had nought that chloroform for the destruction of a diseased c a t " "ThaTwas true." Mrs. Bouverie lifts her heavy, tear-wet eyes for a second. "Yes; but George couldn't say he had used the chloroform, and that told against him. Saville jumped at that p o i n t " "My poor cat died. She was a pet, and she was caught in a trap. To spare my feelings, George said he would give her chloroform. She was dead before he got back from Port* raven, and afterwards he said he had thrown the bottle away. Oh, Doctor Carter, yon know my boy is innocent! These hideous doubts must be dissolved ! I feel s o weak, so heartbroken, s o friendless!" sobs the poor lady; "and my poor George was so happy Just before this. happened—engaed t o JSarbara Saville, and looking forward t o going out to Tasmania." The doctor draws a long whistle. , "That accounts for the milk in the coeoanut—that eour-visaged Saville to marry the girl himself. It is a s plain a s daylight now. That is why he i s s o dead against George!" Mrs. Bouverie clasps her trembling hands and bows her grief-stained face, "George in prisosi! Doctor Carter, God only knows my agunyi My poor, poor boy, weak as he may have been, but criminal never!" Doctor Carter -tries to comfort and console her. 4*There, there, let it come to a trial; I have secured Jarvis for George. If any -man can lerret out the truth he can, and we've not long to wait: The assizes are in a week or two. By the by-t did you hear that Philip Saville is dead in Tasmania? He was killed— kicked by a horse; and that poor girl Barbara will only have to turn round and come home again. I met Sebastian on h i s way to send her a telegram." ""Poor child, poor Barbara! and she w a s to have married George!" sighs Mrs. Bouverie. "So she will, s o she will," Doctor Canter :says abruptly.

'The assizes are going on, and the 'county town is full of barristers and attorneys; and all interest is centered on the Portraven bank robbery cas3, for the man to be tried is a gentleman, a member of cue of the oldest families : i n t h e county. Mrs. Bouverie is staying In the same 'hotel as the judge who is to try her son. She will stay near GeoTge to the last; and Doctor'Carter, fuming and fussy, has taken up his quarters at the Royal Arms too. He is beginning to lose heart. The evidence is so dead against George, and the great counsel engaged can wring nothing from the silent lips of the prisoner. With a sad, stern face of George confronts him, but refuses to speak—refuses to account for the money that had been in his possession that day. He will make no defense whatever,-beyond declaring h i s - - innocence. Hie counsel is in despair. Without doubt the jury will bring^in a verdict of guilty. Worn out with great anxiety, Mrs. Bouverie lies on a sofa- i n z private room of the hotel. In the garden below t h e windows great bunches of .lilacs scent the air, and the light breeze Mr. Grey; be sticks to h i s statement without wavering. Limp and ghastly looking he Ms, but Arm; and y e t h e never once looks a t the pale, set face of the man in the dock, w h o holds his golden head up bravely.

"Then only the wltaoas 'r-^ks for a second l&io the eteady eyes, of George Bouverie—eyes that look true a s steel. "That i s the man," he says,with such conviction that George Bouverie's counsel groans. Mrs. Bouverie sits immovable, her hands In her lap, a small, pitiful figure crushed t o the earth with a sorrow •that is s o terrible and so strange. Mr. Saville, with an assumed air of reluctance, steps into the witness box, but every word he utters tells dead against t h s prisoner. It is he who brings to light George Bouverie's financial difficulties and racing proclivities, and the jury prick their ears, and into their twelve intelligent faces comes a look that shows they have found out the reason way. There is not one o f the 12 good men and true whso has the faintest doubts of their verdict when Mr. Sebastian Saville, still with the manner of one having done an unpleasant duty, steps down from the witness table. •fieorge gives him one look—a look of deep and bitter'anger and contempt. Mr. Dale, the chemist, adds his quota to t h e mass of evidence, and the chloroform is accounted for. The crowd of persons listening to the case come to the conclusion that George Bouverie must be a very wicked young man indeed, in spite of his noble figure and kingly head. He is nothing better than a common thief. And public sympathy goes with the •bank clerk, whose nervous system has been shattered. Truly it had been a.bold robbery indeed, and an example should be made! To walk boldly into the bank, choosing a moment when_there was no one present but the cashier, and to immediately chloroform him and make off with a hundred pounds was the ,ac.t_jof a villain! Dr. Carter's face grew longer and longer as the case proceeds. Mr. Jarvis makes but a lame defense. Mrs. Bouverie turns an agonizsd face on "rustles the golden sprays of laburnum; but the mother's eyes see tutsan not. She can only think of her boy within the cold, gray walls of the jail waiting for his trial. Mr. Saville is in the town too, with a look of satisfaction on his face; also Mr. Grey, the cashier, who, they say, has never recovered from the shock of the assault on him. He starts at every shadow, and looks a miserable, haunted Individual. — T O CHECK T H E N O S E B L E E D . Useful Hlsjts That May Be Valuable km mm Emergency. Nosebleed la so common in childhood that little account is ordinarily made of it. Where it occurs repeatedly without apparent provocation, however, effort should be made, not only to check the immediate attack, but to ascertain the cause of the trouble. It is well known that heart disease, congestion of the liver and other conditions affected by, or affecting the circulation of, the hlood predispose t o nosebleed, and considerable anxiety is frequently felt lest the nosebleed of childhood may be the result of serious constitutional causes. Most commonly the cause is local. The best means of checking the immediate attack Is pressure with the finger on the upper lip, just beneath the nostrils. A small pad of absorbent cotton or a piece of handkerchief may be placed inside th3 lip and tightly pressed against the gum from without, thus compressing the two small arteries of the upper lip that supply the nose. These can ordinarily be felt pulsating in this locality. If the bleeding is profuse or prolonged the child should be placed in a restful position, but with the head elevated, while ice may be held t o the forehead or the back of the neck. To decrease still further the blood pressure within the vessels of the nose a mustard footbath is of service. In the meantime blowing the nose must be avoided. Plugging the nostrils both in front and back is a last resort to keep the sufferer from actual peril. If the trouble is* due to systematic weakness attention is to be especially directed to an Improvement of the general condition «| while if the lungs are themselves weak repeated attacks of nosebleed are sometimes indications of the need of a change of climate or of proper physical exercises at home, The^formation of scabs or crusts, often attended in childhood with picking of the nose, must not be overlooked as a cause of nosebleed. Watchfulness may be required to prevent the formation of an unfortunate habit, but the affected spots must also be treated with ointment or other simple means of healing. —Medical Jour'n?.!. the doctor, and whispers, with white lips: "It is going against him, and yet ho is innocent."

"Dr. Carter, yoa mean well, but I must go. I will be Tery brave," Mrs. Bouverie says, looking at the doctor's kindly face with eyes that are dim with tears and want of sleep.

Burton-on-Trent is the beeropolis of England, and the railway yards of that place is the scene of prodigious activity at all times, but especially at the Easter holidays. A network of railways connects all the breweries to the main lines of the different trunk lines, and each brewery has a big staff of shunters. These men compete every Easter for a prize called the "shunters' trophy." There are several events but they are all more or less alike. A certain number of trucks are stipulated to be moved from one fixed point to another by the shunters, and the men who do the work in the quickest time get t h e prizes. A great deal depends upon the coupling, and the yardmen do their duty fearlessly, conacientiously before God, and faithfully between the Crown and the prisoner at the bar. Sebastian Saville dTaws a long breath as the judge sits down. George Bouverie i s as good as condemned; there is not a chance of an acquittal now. The jury file out of the box. (To be continued.) SSreaklng Horses In South Africa. The way in which horses are broken to saddle in South Africa is one which I have never seen practiced in any other country, says a writer. It is charmingly simple, and has Its good points as well a s its bad ones. It consists ol tying the head of the neophyte close np to that of a steady horse by means .of a cord connecting the respective headstalls worn by these animals. After they have both been saddled and bridled, the 'schoolmaster" is first mounted, and then another man gets on the young one. who is powerless to buck, rear, or run away, on account of his head being fixed. Besides this, the fact of his being alongside another horse gives him confidence, and, no matter how wild he may be, he will learn in a short time to carry his burden and regulate his pace according to' that of his companion. As he settles down quietly to work, the connecting cord may be gradually loosened out until at last It can be taken off altogether. who can join the trucks to the engine with the greatest expedition have the best chance of success. Several judges are chosen from the various firms to insure impartial decisions. The excitement runs high, for often a score of firms are represented, and their partisans among the onlookers cheer loudly wherua smart piece of work is xfone. Some of the trials take several minutes, hut when the times are compared It i s generally only a matter of a few seconds between the best three or-fonr of the competitors. The "shunter** who obtains the chief prize is the hero of the year, and possesses a notoriety in the town second to none among the thousands who are employed in the Burton breweries.

"Potatoes contain a poison known as solanln," says the Sanitary Home, Fargo, N. D. "New potatoes contain comparatively little of this poison unless they grow about the surface of the ground and have a green skin, when they are generally known t o t * poisonous. It is not, however, generally known that old potatoes contain much more of this poisonous principle —solanln—and many cases of serious poisoning have occurred in late summer, when old potatoes are used. In 1S92 and 1S93, there was almost wholerale poisoning among t h e troops of me German army. The symptoms were frontal headache, coHcdiarrhoea. vomiting, weakness, and alight stupor, and i n soma cases dilatation of the pupils. Meyer investigated the ca3e and found i n old potatoes, kept in a damp place, and beginning to sprout, twenty-four times as much solanln as in new potatoes. When using old potatoes In June and July, j t will be well to keep this fact in mind." Straight Romd To HotUthfr Is by the way of purify ing tin Meed.

ANDREWS EDITOR. THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1900. ANDERSON FARMERS' COJB. On Saturday last the Anderson club met the home of D. B. Smith and held their June meeting. Iu the absence of the president R. G. Webb called the club to order and proceeded to listen to the Program. I t was moved to hold the next meeting in August and then have a picnic which was carried. The first was a recitation by Miss Eva Wellman. R. G. Webb then read a paper "Farm Management. The sucessful man is the one who watches the management closly. Different soil requires different tilling and the farmer must learn to use his own judgement. A man must have system—he must plan and then execute those plans. There is no reason to work 12 or 18 hours per day in order to bring about results but it is necessary to study, use judgement and watch the small leaks. I t is a mistake to think that the farmer does not need papers, books and music in his home— they are almost as essential as the tools to work with as they serve to lighten labor. The company then listened to a recitation by Edna Webb and music by Misses Hoff and Gardner also little Alice Smith. This closed the program after which all partook of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and cake, and adjourned until the August picnic. A G o o d C o n f f h . M e d i c i n e .

Why I Wear a White Ribbon. All the golden glory of a southern sun was darkness to a tender mother's heart, for baby had disappeared. Two hours of most thorough searching had failed to find him in house or grounds, and hope had given place to agony of fear. We were hurrying through the crowded street, bent on errands for the King, when our progress was suddenly stopped by such a tiny speck of manhood. Baby feet, little first pants, halo of golden hair—this was the vision that flung itself upon us to arrest our attention, and then, with great tears making mud furrows down the rounded cheeks, and many sobs choking the little voice, he said, "I'm all—all losted, please. My mamma wears that? little white fing"—pointing a chubby finger at our white ribbon. "Will—will 'oo find me to her?"

Sept. 4, 1897. 10:30 A. M.—Just now, when I took dad to his cup of coffee, I found him poring over a bill, and looking worried to the verge of distraction. At last I drew from him that the "Weekly Wag" is wagging all the wrong way, and is bound to go to the wall unless he can secure a few articles from some comic writer of note. But, though he has written to several with that object, nothing has come of it. In a word the paper has turned out a ruinous investment for me," he concluded, bitterly. Aa I earn* upstairs, feelings utterly miserable and depressed, a happy thought darted into my mind. Men don't like refusing a .request when framed by feminine lip's, so perhaps I may succeed where poor dad has failed. At any rate, "without a trial, there's n© denial," and a recent incident opens the way for me to make the trial. A few days ago, while aunt and I were whiling away a n hour in the British Museum, she bowed to a librarian. He responded to her recognition with a courtly bow, and a polite smile relaxed for the moment his clean-shaver^ inscrutable face. "That was the celebrated Mr. Rutland, the writer of those clever articles, mj dear. I met him last week at Mrs Pelham's," she explained, as we passed on into another room. Seeing that she had turned as red as a peony, I concluded that he was a celibate as well as a celebrity. But he certainly did not look a bit like ;I imagined him. for. strange to say, dad had been speaking of him to me that same morning, when he had enviously pointed out an attractive announcement in a rival weekly to the effect that a series of brilliant sketches from the pen of the widely known humorist, Holf Rutland, would sfrortiy-appear- in its columns. I am very glad now that we chanced to see him. since it paves* the way for me to call on him and explain in confidence the sad straits of the Weekly Wag "and beg of him to contribute something to its pages. Aunt mentioned that he lives a t Forest Gate, in a beautiful residence known as Clive Lodge.- So to-morrow morning I shall take heart of grace and start on this forlorn hope. Sept. 5, 1897. 11:20 P. M.—What a day of days this has been! i really ought to have dated it in red ink. This morning, directly the dear unsuspecting dad had started for the city, I put on my sailor hat and sallied forth on my secret mission. About two tours later I mounted a broad, flight of steps to the threshold of CliyeLodge,and.Lmust-eoafess-that while I waited admittance my courage seemed to ooze out of my fingertips. Yoif are a little simpleton. Rose Harvey, quaking and shaking as though you were going to face an ogre instead of a wit," I said angrily to myself as a boy in buttons ushered me into a large drawing room, very handsomely furnished, but lacking in pretty trifles. Giving the boy my card. I subsided into an easy, chair. As I did I caught sight of myself in a pier glass and was relieved to ace thai I looked' in ribbori because "mamma" wore it. \ Dear hearts, perhaps some* other mother's grown-up boy may be lost to-night, and_the J^ht^of that little blood, washed life-line may bring him safely into port.

The next minute the curtained door swung open, and the celebrated Mr. Rutland" entered the room. Unless I was much mistaken a gleam of relief flashed from his steel-gray eyes as they alighted on me. Possibly, since my aunt and I bear the same names, he had expected to see her. and of "two evils" would rather deal with the lesser! Producing the current number of the Weekly Wag, I explained— rather abruptly, I'm afraid—the nature of my visit. While he listened his gaze of polite attention became a stare of unbounded amazement, and instead of accepting the proffered paper, lie sprang to his feet with aji exasperated gesture. "This is a most preposterous request young lady. I t is utterly out of the question that any article from my pen should appear through the medium of the Weekly Wag!" \ The slighting emphasis with wnich hV r.nrvrt the poor little weekly, and thc\ withering glances he cast on it. rr.r.iV ute tingle with rage and mortificaiiori. "Then there is nothing more to be said, except to apologize. for having troubled Vou with this 'preposterous rrnvist." Psairt. nsing to my foot. And 1 iniNn stilt" lit Je bow I moved ;\o dV>r.

Hav ing ascertained that my train was not due for fifteen minutes. I fell to pacing the platform, where the flaunting posters of many a prosperous compeer of the luckless little weekly I still grasped gave a yet keener edge to my disappointment. Turning to my preambulatlpn I was surprised to see the flannel-clad figure of my tear-blurred vision hurrying toward m . _"Tne old bigwig had repented of his Insulting refusal!" I. Hi::..:":r tcv.y.rd no.*-s ••! T ' l ' -.- f- : iy, wltte X bowed i n response to the young fellow's doff of the cap. "Excuse me, Miss Harvey, but there has been tome unfortunate mistake, and I have followed you here in the hope of straightening matters," he said, his quick breathing and heightened color testifying to the hot haste he had made. "I am the Rolf Rutland wh6 scribbles non-sense, my uncle is a savant and only writes for the scientific journals." "A savant! No.wonder he was so annoyed at my request!" I exclaimed, blushing painfully. "But, really, knowing you write humor, he might have guessed I had made some such mistake." • "Ah. but he did not know i t until ten miputee ago. I have 'great expectations' in that quarter, and have kept my frivolous talent a dead secret from him," he replied with a whimsical smile. "Then I hope you will have no reason to rue this stupid blunder of mine," I said, impulsively. I should certainly have rued it greatly if I had never discovered it—which is a rank Hibernicism, I suppose." And a mutual laugh set us both at our ease. "And now, Miss Harvey, with regard to the Weekly Wag, I shall be most please to contributeJo its columns," h said, as eagerly as though he were a struggling aspirant, anxious to see his effusions in print. In the midst"of my delighted thanks, the train dashed in, and all was confusion. When he had handed me into a carriage he told me that directly the cricket match was over he should run into the city and see my father. Then the train moved on and as our eyes met in a last glance, I saw a look in his that made my heart dance as it had never danced before. About 5 o'clock there came a telegram from dad, to the effect that Mr. Rutland would dine with us at 7. In a flutter of delight I helped aunt to improve our m«nu and then hastened to make my dinned toilet. When, half an hour later, dad and Mr. Hutland-entered tire drawing room. I was surprised to see how much older and more distinguished'he looked in evening dress than in his flannels, and for the minute I felt quite shy. But his genial frankness of manner soon brought us "in touch" again and I have passed the most charming evening I can remember. Septr-5, 1898, 10:45 p.'m.—My wedding eve, and exactly a year since the day I made that absurd blunder. And now, thanks to the spur given it by Rolf's pen, the Weekly Wag is the foremost of its class and its editor his cheery old self again. "But I shall never forget," he said to me this morning, "that it owes its success not to the editor, but-to the editor's daughter!*'—Chicago News.

TALMAGE'S SEBMON. In this country placing the thumb to the nose and extending the fingers is a sign of derision. Among certain hill tribes in India it is the most expressive manner of showing respect. Pekin, China, has a tower in which is hung a large bell, cast in the fifteenth century, and another tower containing a huge drum, which is intended to bo beaten in case a great danger should threaten, the city. No one is allowed to enter these towers. The revelations made at the ecumenical conference on foreign missions concerning the services of missionaries in extending education, trade and civilization, as well as the doctrines of the Christian religion, are a strong reminder that civilization does often move forward in other ways than "on a powder-cart." The people of Porto Rico were astonished to see their first American governor come among them in plain clothes, and with no pomp and circumstance. They had been accustomed to' bad government with endless "fuss and feathers." They ought easily to be reconciled to the change, so long as the quiet man in plain clothes gives them good government. Must the Japanese "go," too? Ten thousand oflfchsm are s;i;d to have landed on our Pacific coast during the first three weeks of April, and for seve r a l m o n t h s they haye Jr?c:i arriving at the rate of a hundred "tHb^usand-a" year, ten timc3 the normal immigration. Some are known to be contract laborers and will bo deported; others, later on, may wish they, too, had been sent back. It is suggested that many of them flee to this country because they fear war. India is a country not half so larga as the United States, with four times its population. These 300,000,000 people must be fed from their own crops, as there is, relatively, no manufacturing resource to buy food with, Bays the Review of Reviews. There are parts of India with a population of 1,000 people to the square mile, and there are millions upon millions of farm laborers, vagrants, gypsies and nondescript classes, whose means of living, even in times of plenty, arc inscrutable. Near Ayuthia, formerly the capital of Siam, is a curious, labyrinth in whidi elephants .^are captured alive. The labyrinth is formed by a double row of immense tree-trunks set firmly in tho ground, the'space between them gradually narrowing. Where it begins, at the edge of the forest, the opening of the labyrinth is more than 3 mile broad, but as it approaches Ayuthia it becomes so narrow that the elephants cannot turn around. Tame elephants are employed to lure wild ones into the trap. Having reached the inner end of the labyrinth, the tame elephants are allowed to pass through a gate, while men lying in wait slip shackles over the feet of the captives. The sport is a dangerous one, as the enraged elephants sometimes crush their would-be captors under their feet. AN INCIDENT IN T H E LIFE OF OUR SAVIOR. The r a t h of Leaat Resistant* I s the Bast One in Which to Perform 'Good Work* — Rough. Place* In Life'* Journey. The Indian girls of the Chickasaw nation seem to be, "up-to-date."

In view of this a law was enacted by the Indian legislature establishing the marriage- fee in such cases at $1,000. As a remedial measure, much was expected of the law. It has just come into effect, and at Artmore, Indian Territory, recently, some thousand.or more Indian girls, in meeting assembled, indignantly "resolved" that the law and the instigators thereof ware intolerable interferes with woman's inalienable right to marry whom she would And the end is not yll (Copyright, leoo, by Louis KLopach.) Text, Mark 39. "And He arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea,, Peace, be still." Here in Capernaum, the seashore village, was the temporary home of that Christ who for the most of his life was homeless. On the site of this village, now in ruins, and all around this lake, what scenes of kindness and power and glory and pathos when our Lord lived here! I can understand the feeling of the immortal Scotchman, Robert McCheyne, when, sitting on tbo banks of this lake, ho wrote: "It is not that the wi'.d gazelle Comes down to drink thy tide, But he that was pierced to save from hell ' Oft' wandered by thy side. f "Graceful around thee the mountains meet, Thou calm, reposing sea. But, ah, far more the beautiful feet Of Jesus walked o'er thee." I can easily understand from the contour of the country that bounds this lake that storms were easily tempted to make these waters their playground. This lake, in Christ's time, lay in a scene of great luxuriance; the surrounding hills, terraces, sloped, groved; so many hanging gardens of beauty. On the shore were castles, varracd tower?, Roman baths. everything attractive and beautiful— nil ; styles of vegetation in smaller space than i n almost any other spaos in the world, from the palm tree of the forest to the trees of rigorous climate. It secmd as if the Lord ha'fl launched one wave of .beauty on ail the scene and it liung and swung from rock and hill and oleander. Roman gentlemen in pleasure boats sail'ng this lake and countrymen in tishin-? smacks coming down to drop th^ir nets pass each other with nod nn-1 shout and laughter or swinging idly at their moorings. Oh. what a beautiful scene! It seems as if v;c shall have a quio'. night. Not a leaf quivered in the air. not--a—ripple—disturbed—the__ face of Gennesaret. But there seems to be a little excitement up the beach, and we hasten to see what it is. and wo find it an embarkation. From the western shore a flotilla pushing out: not a squadron of deadly armament, nor clipper with valuable merchc-n^ dise, nor piratic vessels ready to destroy everything they could selso, but a flotilia, bearing messengers of light and life and peace. Christ is in the stern of the boaj. His disciples are in the bow and amidships. Jesus, weary with much speaking to largs multitudes, is put into somnolence by the rocking of the waves. If there wa3 any motion at all, the ship was tisily righted: if the wind passed from starboard to larboard, or from larboard to starboard, the boat would rock and, by the gentleness of the motion, putting the Master asleep. And they extemporized a I'lllow made out of a fisherman's coat. I think no sooner is Christ prostrate and his head touched the pillow than he is sound asleep. The breezes of the lake run their fingers through the locks of the worn sleeper, and th* boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom of a sleeping mother. CmniiiK of t h e Storm. Calm iiight: starry night, beautiful night! Run up all the sails, ply all the oars, and let the large boat and the small boat glide over gentle Gennesaret. But the sailors say there is going to be a change of weather. And even the -passengers can hear the moaning of the storm PS it comes on with great stride and all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The large boat trembles like a deer at bay among the clangor of the hounds: great patches of foam are flung into the air; the sails of the vessel loosen and in the strong wind crack like pistols; the smaller boats, like petrels, poistf on the cliffs of the wave3 and then and masts, and the drenched disciple3 rush into the back part of the boat and lay hold of Christ and say unto him, "Master, carest thou not that wo perish?" That great personage lifts his head from the pillow of the fisherman's coat, walks to the front of the vessel and looks o'.n into the storm. All around him are the smaller boats.driven in the tempest, and through It comes the cry of drowning men. By the flash of the lightning I see the calm brow of Christ as the spray dropped from his beard. He has one word for the sky and another for the waves. Looking upward, he cries, "Peace!" Looking downward, he eays,"Be still!" The wp.vea fall flat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stars relight their torcheB. .The tempest faHs dead, and Christ stands with his foot on the neck of the storm. And while the sailors are baling out the boats and while they are trying to untangle the cordage the disciples stand in amazement, now looking into the calm sea, then into the calm sky, then into the calm Savior's countenance, and they cry out, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey hlin?" The subject, in the flrst place, impresses me with the fact that,it is very important to have Christ in the ship; for all these boats would have gone to the bottom of Gennesaret if Christ had not been present. Oh, what a lessen for you and for me to learn! Whatever voyage we undertake, into whatever enterprise we start, let us have Christ in the ship. All you can do with utmost tension of body, mind and soul you are bound to do; but, oh, have Christ in every enterprise! Seokllig tind's Help. There ;ne men who ask God's help at the beginning of great enterprises. He h?.s been with them in the past; no trouble can overthrow them; the storms might come down from the top of Mount Hermon and lash Gennesaret into foam and into agony, but it could not hurt them. But here is another man who starts out in worldly enterprise, and he depends upon the uncertainties of this life. He has no God to help him. After awhile the storm comes, tosses off the masts of the ship; he puts out his life-boat and the long boat; the sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him off; they can't help him off; he must go down; no Christ in the ship. Your life will be made up of sunshine and shadows. There may be in it arctic blasts or tropical tornadoes; I know not what is before you, but I know if you have Christ with you all shall be well. You may seem to pet along without the religion, cf Christ whitef everything gc-es smoothly, but after awhile, when sorrow hovers ever tho soul, when the waves of trial dash .clear over the hurricane e'eck. and the decks are crowded with piratic:1.1, disasters—oh. what would you do then - without .Christ in the ship? Take God for your portion. God for your guide, Cod for your help; then all is wall; all is v,-cll _for a tirr.e; all nhall be well forever. Blccscd is t f r t man who puts in the Lord his trust. He shall never be confounded. But my subject also impresses me with the fact tint when people utart to follow Christ they must not ex- _p_ect smooth sailing. Xhcse_ disciples got into the small boits. and I have no doubt they said: "What a beautiful day this is! How delightful is sailing in this beat! And as for the waves under the keel of the boat. why. they only mako the motion of our little boat the more delightful." But when the winds swept down" and the sea was tossed into wrath, when they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing. So you have found it; so I have fo"nd it. Did you ever notice the end of the life- of the apostles of Jesus Christ? You would say if ever men ought to have had ~ smooth life, a smooth departure, th?n these men, the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and such a life. St. James lost his head. St. Philip was hung to death on a pillar. St. Matthew bad his life dashed out with a halbert. St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets._ J3t .Tampa the Les3 we3 beaten to death with a fuller's club. St. Thomas was struck through with a spear. They did not find following Christ smooth sailing. Oh; how thev were all tossed in the tempest! John Huss in a fire; Hugh McKail in the hour 's* martyrdom; the Albigenses, the Waildenses, the Scotch Covenanters—did they find it smooth sailing? Eut why go into history when we can draw from our own memory illustrations of the truth of v.-hat I say? Not Always Smooth FaHin?. A young man in a store trying to serve God, while his employer scoffs at Christianity! the young men in the same store, antagonistic to the Christian religion, teasing him, tormenting him about his religion, trying to get him mad. They succeed in getting him mad and say. "You're a pretty Christian!" Does that young man find it smooth sailing when fie trle3 to folldw "Christ? Or you remember a Christian girl. Her father despises tlu> Christian religion; her—mother ite^ splses the Christian religion; her brothers and sisters scoff at the Christian religion ' she can hardly find a quiet place in which to say her prayers. Did she find it smooth sailing when she tried to follow Jesus Chriat? Oh. no! All who would live the life of the Christian religion •must suffer persecution. If, you do not find it in one way, you will get it in "another way. But be not disheartened! Tiko courage! You are in a glorious companionship.' God will see you through all trials, and he will deliver you. My subject also impresses me with the fact that good people sometimes get frightened. In the tones of these disciples as they, rushed into the bach part of the boat I find they are fr'ghtvened almost to death. They say, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" They had no reason to he frightened, for Christ was in tho b o a t I suppose if we bad been there we would have been just as much affrighted. Per* haps more. In all ages very good people get very much affrighted. H i e often so in our day, and* men say: "Why, look at the bad lectures. Look at the various errors going over th« church of God.

But there are v. great many good people who g?t affrighted in other respects. They are affrighted about revivals. They say. "Oh, this is a strong religious gale! We are afraid the church of Cod is going to be upset and there are going to be a great t i a n y people brought into the church that are going to be or no use to it." And they are affrighted whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churches. As though a ship captain, with 5,000 bushels of wheat for a cargo, should say seme day, coming upon deck, "Threw overboard all th? cargo!" and the sailors should say: "Why, captain, what do you mean? Throw- over all the cargo?" "Oh," says the captain, "we have a peck of chaff that has got into thic 5,000 bushels of wheat, and the only way to- get rrd—of-^the-ehrtftis to throw all the wheat overboard!" Now, that is a great deal wiser than the talk of many Christians who want to throw overboard all the thousands and tens of thousands of souls who are the subjects of revivals. Throw all overboard because they are brought into the kingdom of God through great revivals, because there is a pecK of chaff, a quart of chaff, a pint of chaff! I eay, let them stay until the last day. The Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat. ' There is one storm into which we will all have to run. The moment when we let go of this world and try to take hold of the next, we will want all thfi_gracp posgthle. Yonder I see a ..Christian soul rocking on the surges of death. All the"powers of darknes3 seem let out against that soul—tho swirling wave, the thunder of the sky, the shriek of the wind, all seem to unite together. But that soul is not troubled. There is no sighing.there are no tears; plenty of tears in the room at the departure, but he weeps no tears—calm, satisfied and peaceful; all is well. By the flash of the storm you see the harbor just ahead, and you are making for that harbor. All shall be well, Jesu3 being our pilot. "Into the harbor of heaven now wo glide; We're home at Vvst. home at last. Softly we drift OA the bright, silv'ry tide; We're home at last. Glory to God, all our dangers are o'er; We stand EV.cure on the glorified shore! Glory to God, we viV. shout evermore, We're home at last." Model of the Maine. Rear-Admiral John W.

This model is to be "presented to Mls^tfefen-Gould. The model of the Maine will cost about $2,000. Considerable money has already been raised. The plan is to collect 10 cents from every sailor and marine in the navy. As there* are about 25,000 enlisted men, the amount ia practically assured.

And Phyllis invariably Eat in t h e big Morris chair just in front of t h e head of Apollo when s h e w a s entertaining company. T h e big Morri3 chair formed a beautiful frame for the adorable little Phyllis. Perhaps that w a s w h y she KO often sat in it. although A n g u s Macneil didn't think so. He believed that s h e was fond of occupying t h e b i g chair because she fancied her insignificant height and extreme slenderness were less noticeable than when s h e s a t up straight. — ~ ~ Angus himself almost always s a t upon the Turkish stool just opposite the big chair. Sitting on this stool gave him an opportunity of l e a n i n g forward, a u d thus bringing his. Byes a few inches nearer Phyllis. H e often found himself dreaming a s he sat there of the longed-for time when He should dare to lean still a little farther forward and clasp t h e little hand which rested so idly in Phyllis' lap. P h y l l i s never embroidered or did fancy work as other girls do, at least n o t in t h e evening. Her companions in t h e apartment declared that this w a s so be- K O i > < k X l cause P h y l l i s w a s t o o idle. P h y l l i s herself declared that her hands were not pretty enough to bring t h e m Into prominence by contrasting them with bits of dainty needlework, w h e r e a i the other girl?, laughed scornfully. A n - gus Mncneil thought her hands adorable anyway, and rather preferred that they should be idle. The chances of by and by taking them prisoner seemed somehow increased s o long a s she did not work. Scale* t h u s Phyllis naturally took frequent note of t h e E a s t Wind. S o m e - t i m e s when she found it advisable to become u n c o n s c i o u s of the adoring gaze of her lover, s h e studied t h e cast with much earnestness. A t s u c h - t i m e s she w a s almost ready to declare that the plaster face w a s smiling at something or somebody. Angus, for h i s part, had strong suspicions that, t h e plaster Apollo winked n o w and again. One evening he mentioned these suspicions t o P h y l l i s , a n d after that— well, the plaster casts fared beautifully. There w a s n o light in t h e room but that of t h e open fire and t h e East Wind and t h e Apollo wefe flirting openly and undisguisedly. Angus looked up suddenly and caught them a t it. T h a t fellow I s very fond of winking," h e remarked, smiling a t Phyllis. P h y l l i s smiled almost a s sympathetically a s t h e E a s t Wind s h e w a s looking at. ^^- -~ ~*1 "And do y o u know, I have been thinking t h a t t h e Bast Wind 1B smiling," s h e returned. Angus s w u n g around and looked at t h e pretty feminine head, w i t h i t s long hair flying lorward, a n d with deep, unfathomable eyes. Then h e looked back again at the pretty feminine head w i t h w a v y hair caught u p neatly, and w i t h e y e s w h i c h were also unfathomable. H e smiled as though a pleasant thoughthad struck h i m . "Perhaps she's smiling at Apollo. P e r h a p s t h e y love each other," n V s u g - gested, w h i l e the B a s t Wind blushed In t h e firelight t o jiave t h e secrets of hor plaster heart thus disclosed. Phyllis blushed also, from mere sympathy, of course. Then t h e East Wind, torn between maidenly shyness and a desire to prove to Apollo that t h e words^ Of These'"mortal Tovers" "were true, swayed on the wire which suspended her so eagerly that the wire gave w a y and s h e fell violently forward. H a d not P h y l l i s sprung up quickly and caught her s h e would have been dashed to pieces on the floor. A s it w a s she l a y m o t i o n l e s s in t h e kind arms which had saved her, no longer blushing, but quite white and still. Apollo, ou top of the. piano, flushed more vividly than e v e r . a s Macneil took his beloved away from Phyllis. And he fairly beamed down o n the human lover a s his idol w a s placed by h i s side, leaning right against him. "Old* fellow looks pretty happy," ventured Angus, calling t h e . attention of, Phyllis to t h e satisfied air which dwelt in t h e attitude and expression of both casts. Phyllis nodded sweetly, but said nothing. Macneil drew a little nearer and looked down a t her s i - lently—for s o long that Phyllis became nervous. "1 wonder w h a t y o u are thinking of," s h e blurted out suddenly. Macneil swept the Turkish stool over the "carpet with a movement full of haste and determination. Once more Apollo winked at the beautiful face beside him, n o longer -coldly boauUXul with,. the icy loveliness of plaster, but g l o w i n g and warmly radiant in the light cf t h e .( lire—and love. Apollo knew w h a t w a s going on far better than t h e mortals themselves. A n d lovemaking in the rocm below him seemed quite in keeping with the oldnew thrills of passionate admiration and worship which were pulsating through h i s brenst of tinted plaster. He even went s o far as to smite kindly and in knowing fashion when the h u - man lover seated himself on the Turkish stool and made bold to take possession oi h i s sweetheart's hand. "Phyllis," said tho human lover s-oftly, "Phyllis, dear, I w a s thinking hov/ very much~I"love you. "It—•doesn't displease you—that I should be thinking such things, mv darling?" "No," signaled Apolio and the East Wind together from their station on top of t h e piano. Phyllis was silent and her lover drew both t h o little hands into his own. "What are y o u thinking of, my dearest?" he asked, as the girl remained speechless. . . "I a m thinking that—that—I love you, too," w a s t h e answer which he divined rather than heard, and the East W i n d and Apollo craned their heads so far forward to see wnat w a s happening that they nearly came to an untimely end by dashing themselves down to destruction upon t h e keys of the piano. And alter that—well, when next morning came and the other pretty bachelor maidens would nave separated the plaster lovers and put the distance of t h e room between them again P h y l l i s wouldn't hear of it.

The state board.QfJtax^ojRmiuioners has now been in existence about one year, and its ^ works has stirred up many comments, favorable and otherwise. Much TTas been printed about the added amount ot property that would be placed upon the rolls through the work of the new state board, and it has generally been estimated in an offhand way by the commissioners that the increase in the amount of taxable property on the rolls would be about 8100,000,000. Accurate official figures, however, show that the amount of increase in valuation will be more than 9200,000,000, and at the average Michigan rate of taxation, which is over 2 per cent, the additional taxes brought to the state will be over $4,000,000, which is more than twice as much as the entire railroad tax of the state under the present specific tax system. Under the law which created the tax commission, that body would be largely what the men composing it made the new state department If they felt inclined to, they could have overlooked the fact that assessments all over the state were woo-fully uneven and inequitable. They could have gone on drawing their $2,500 a year from the state and have returned meaningless reports, or they could have gone into the work in the wajT the public expected them to do, which was to see that the law was enforced, so that all might share ns equitably as possible the burden of the state, and so that if the law is wrong the fact may become clear and the legislature may correct it.

In part it is as follows: His majesty is convinced, through ample trustworthy sources, that the loyal support of many scores of millions of the Chinese will be accorded to his proposals for putting an end to the state of "anarchy brought by the action of the Empress Hsi Tsi. The government of China being virtually non-existent, the emperor proposes that - the foreign powers, whose troops dominate the capital, shall remove his imperial person from the palace in which his majesty i% confined a prisoner, shall declare Empress Hsi Tsi and her present ministers to be usurpers, and shall bring Emperor Kwang Hsu to Nankin, Wuchang or Shanghai, whichever the said foreign powers deem to be the most suitable situation for tlie—new- capital of the Chinese empire, under the new conditions. It is proposed by his majesty and his advisers that the foreign powers should declare a joint protectorate and undertake the task of governing the country through his majesty. The message suggests that the protectorate should abolish certain boards in Pekin; appoint new ministers; abolish the existing so-called armies; establl& h gendarmerie under foreign ofneers; take eontrol of the customs, posts and telegraphs and work them through Chinese officials; establish a nniferm currency; readjust taxation and insure the freedom of religion. ttreet ffajftbifl* fa* tae % 9 1***7' The navy is to build wcttships ag-} g r e ^ n g oVW o ^ 6 ^ ; W f o itf eost as! soon a s builders are-prepared to mnder- i , U k e this, gtfffr program^, which callsj for 11 armored ships, practically doub-j ling the Ameiicasra>es> power in. this, class, and forWh*#S §ignly improved!

The royal mail steamer Don* Capt.; Davis, which arrived at Kingston, Ja., on the 17th from Colon. Colombia,, brought news of an important battle fought on the 15th about 10 miles out^ side of Panama. According to this information the insurgent forces were victorious and some 200 government troops were killed. It is inferred that Panama may already be in possession of the rebels. The latter are strongly intrenched at San Joaquin, near Santa Marta, and all the government troops at Baranquilla had been dispatched to Sant Marta when the Don left Colon. Gets Bia Prize Money. The United States court of claims has passed upon the s u i t - o f - A d m i r a l — W. T. Sampson and others under his command at Santiago for prize money on account of the destruction of the Spanish fleet. The court declares that Admiral Sampson was the commander- in-chief, and that Schley was t h e commanding officer of a division of squadron thereof, on duty under the orders of Admiral Sampson. The total amount of bounty money allowed is 810(^700, of which amount Admi r a l— Sampson will receive 88,335 and Admiral Schley about 83,000. Situation Still Very Critical. Secretary Hay on the 12th laid before the cabinet dispatches from Minister Conger, which indicated that the situation in China is very critical. It w a s decided to stand by the policy which had been entered upon of pushir* g_soeasures for the protection of the lives and property of American citizens and of acting independently as far as possible. It may be that in the accomplishment of this result the forces of the powers will have to act in unison fpr the protection of all foreign residents ia the disturbed districts, but this is to be the extent of the American activity. From all political schemes in which any of the powers may become involved, the U. S. is to hold aloof. This is the general policy heretofore outlined and it will be adhered* to. Frightened Into Spasm*. Fay Carrol ton is the name given by a youDg woman suffering from , convulsions in a Cleveland hospital. A "jack the peeper" frightened her into spasms. The girl is 17 and a mystery to the of^ ficials. She went to a uleveland boards ing house a week ago and asked for, work. She was given a place. T h e boarders noted her refined manners and retiring disposition. She was r e - ticent about her identity, only sayings that she w a s from Toledo. In her raj*' ings, she recites Latin and Greek.

It was in the early dawn t h a t t h e y •came t o a narrow spruit ( s t r e a m ) , w h o s e banks w e r e different from t h e dry, sandy veldt, soft and muddy. Here they dismounted, and H e n r i c h , t h e little Zulu, e x a m i n e d t h * mud a t - tentively, uttered a little cry. " B a a h ! horses and of m e n ! One, t w o man's large footmarks, and one s m a l l w o m - an'a-or-xhild's. W e h a v e tracked t h e m and t h e y are n o t before u s ; I a m sure of that." R o t h e s sprang to his srfle' and soon convinced himself that Henrich w a s right. H i s excitement could hardly he kept in check. "We must press on, H e n r i c h ! " he exclaimed. "It is hard on t h e poor beasts, I know, but there is no t i m e to b e lost. H a v e a drink of water, boy, a n d you can e a t your biscuits riding." Once more they pressed forward. T h e m a r k s continued a bit 'along t h e d o n - ga, or ^ a t e r course, t h e n they rose up again to the plain, anfl Of course wore lost there. T h e y were now close to s o m e of the wildest a n d most precipitous of t h e rocky range of m o u n t a i n s , and as they approached the pass R o t h e s felt in doubt as to whether he should ' g o through It or continue in the direction he had been pursuing. Suddenly Henrich, g i v i n g a low, h i s s i n g soifnd between h i s teeth, turned to his master, his round, wild eyes blazing. "Baas, baas, look! Straight before u s ! There is a horse standing beside the rock! Do y o u see him? There! There must be a m a n there,, also." Rothes' e y e s w e r e not so keen, but a s t h e y approached nearer he distinctly saw the animal standing m o t i o n l e s s by the rock. A s t h e y pressed their h o r s e s on h e s a w , t o o . what Henrich first pointed out—-a m a n ' s figure, l y i n g prostrate o n a tuft of short grass u n - derneath- t h e rock. - H e did not T a o v e until t h e y w e r e close to him. T h e n R o t h e s s a w he w a s a native, and was ndt dead, as he had at first thought, "but somftl asleep.

With a yell t h e m a n started—&P7 choked her. W h a t if her c h a n c e were c o m i n g n o w ? Moore rode d o w n t h e grassy s l o p e of t h e river v e r y cautiously, but evidently before he w a s aware h i s horse's forefeet had plunged into the stream. H e tnrned and called: "Come on, Chipanga; it U all r i g h t ; " Bluebell's guide urged forward her horse, w h i c h , however, seemed loth to take t h e plunge. Her eyes w e r e fixed on Moore, w h o s e horso was now w a d - ing in comparatively shallow water before them. A wild thought rushed through her mind. Should s h e spring off her horse in midstream, t r u s t i n g to t h e swift current to carry her a w a y before her pursuers could reach her? She m i g h t be drowned. Although she could s w i m , her clothes would be a n a l m o s t insuperable obstacle. But death by such gentle m e a n s would be preferable to t h e fate before her. They were Just about to plunge i n t o the water when Chipanga g a v e a sudden cry. Bluebell's startled e y e s , foll o w i n g Moore, s a w h i s horse suddenly stumble in the water. Moore m a d e a desperate effort to keep himself u p ; but as the horse, endeavoring t o regain its footing, made another blundering step, his rider w a s t h r o w n clean over his head and disappeared. "He is drowning! Run, run! Help h i m ! " cried Bluebell. She hardly knew afterwards what wrung t h e cry from her, whether it was real horror at t h e accident that had happened to 'her persecutor or the sudden wild conviction th?.t the chance had c o m e to her. Ih a m o m e n t Chipanga had plunged into the river. He was h o l d i n g the reins of Bluebell's horse, and endeavoring to draw him after h i m ; but the animal resisted, lifting up h i s forelegs, and Bluebell breathed a n agonized "Yhank God!" The next instant she had slipped from the horse's back and w a s runn i n g with incredible speed up t h e bank. The grass was so l o n g that it stood above her head, but once she got out o f it s h e w a s in a short, stubbly u n - dergrowth of grass. W i t h o u t l o o k i n g back, hardly breathing, s h e flew onr struggling violently, h u t the lithe Zulu had bound h i s h a n d s firmly, and Rothes' revolver pointed straight at his head. "Ask h i m w h o h e is, Henrich, and if he has seen a m a n and w o m a n pass t h i s way," said Rothes. "Tell h i m I shall shoot him if he does not a n s w e r -at-once and tell t h e t r u t h / ' — But the crafty native, w h o w a s n o o t h e r than Gerald Moore's "boy," w a s readier w i t h h i s a n s w e r than R o t h e s had hoped. "Give m e gold piece—one, t w o three —and I tell you all y o u w a n t to k n o w , baas," he said. R o t h e s produced the -gold. "I will give you that ff you can tell m e a n y t h i n g about a m a n and a w o m - a n o n horseback w h o c a m e f r o m N e w K e l s o , near Ladysmith,*' said he.

Bluebell w.is hardly able to draw breath. It came i n s o b - bing gasps from her dry and parched lips. Her ears were strained t o catrh the sound of her pursuer's horse's hoofs, or at least a shout. N o sound came, and presently s h e ventured to slacken her speed. What had happened? Could the m a n have been drowned? B u t s h e had to think of herself. She must find s o m e hiding place for the night at least. Though s h e was warm, p a r t i n g and perspiring w i t h her breathless run, she k n e w that presently it would be intensely cold. S h e had loosened the heavy clonk which covered her a l m o s t to the heels as she ran, and carried it on her arm. She dared not drop it. though it impeded her flight, for that would give her pursuers a clue. She was on t h e sandy plain ;it last, where w a l k i n g was at least l e s s u n - even than on the dry grass. Suddenly she saw before her a little hillock; it m i g h t have been an a n t hill from its size and appearance. Bluebell w a s s o o n at i t It was not an ant hill, but the deserted hole of an ant bear, a s s h e discovered. She crawled into it. It w a s dry and warm. "They will not find me here," s h e thought. "Even if t h e y followed on my tracks, t h e y could .not see the bear hole in the dark." She threw herself on the ground— she could hardly sit upright, s o small waa the hole—and for the first t i m e faced her position. She had n o food, n o n e o t h e r t o w h o m I can go. H e l p me, help m e , for T o y Son's s a k e ! " S t r a n g e t o say, sleep c a m e t o h e r presently; a n d i n t h a t deserted b e a r hole, in t h e m i d s t of a lonely a n d d e s - olate veldt, a l o n e In the world, aa i t seemed, Bluebell Leslie slept s o u n d l y . She a w a k e n e d suddenly. It w a s a t e r - rible sound l i k e that of d i s t a n t t h u n - der that broke her slumber. Bluebell sat up, s h i v e r i n g w i t h a n uncontrollable terror, for s h e had heard t h a t sound once before, and k n e w w h a t i t was. It was the distant roar of a lion. She crouched down in her h i d i n g place, s h a k i n g , from head t o foot. W h a t if t h e terrible k i n g of b e a s t s should discover her "spoor" and trace her to her shelter? T h e thought of the horrible death, t h a t would t h e n be Inevitable m a d e Bluebell's flesh creep and her blood turn cold. There was n o more sleep for h e r that night. She lay, with s h a k i n g l i m b s and loudly-beating heart, o n her bed of stubble grass, her ears strained to catch the sudden, blood-curdling roar of the lion before the grassy e n - trance t o her shelter. But it did not come. T h e distant rumbling died away, and w h e n morning came Bluebell fell on her knees and thanked the protecting A r m that had shielded her from the terrors ot t h e night. She crawled out of her h i d i n g place and looked around her. A great flat plain stretched on every side; o n e or t w o small kopjes, covered w i t h t a w n y bushes, broke t h e m o n o t o n y ; but n o river or hill could she see a n y w h e r e . There w a s n o t h i n g to guide her a s t o t h e direction in which she was to go. She w a s absolutely lost o n the terrible veldt! Bluebell k n e w w h a t that m e a n t , j h e remembered t h e t e r r i b b cases of which s h e had heard of people—in o n e case it w a s a child—being lost on the: plain, and never heard of again. S h e pictured to herself t h e agony of a l i v - ing death by starvation., and s h u d - dered before the u n k n o w n horrors of it. "But at least she had escaped f r o m what was frtr worse th?.n death—unless her dreaded persecutor found h e r again. If he were alive he would be hunting her now. There was no time to lose. S h e must set off at once, and trust t o Providence to guide her in the r i g h t direction. ~ Bluebell looked up at the sun, t h e only indication of the direction in which s h e should set her face. S h e k n e w t h a t Moore had been g o i n g w e s t - ward; she would turn southward. She took off her l o n g cloak, for it w a s n o w g r o w i n g very warm, h u n g it over her shoulder by the straps, and began that terrible journey. She could make n o toilet, and her fast s h e could not break. Already s h e w a s b e g i n n i n g to feel desperately hungry.

It speaks well for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy w h e n d r u g g i s t s use it in their o w n families in preference t o a n y other. "I h a v e sold Chamberlain's Cough R e m e d y for the past five y«ars with c o m p l e t e satisfaction to m y s e l f and c u s t o m e r s / ' says D r u g g i s t J , Goldsmith, V a n E t t e n , N .

S i g l e r d r u g g i s t . A talent of gold was thirteen thousand eight hundred and nine dollars. A piece of silver, or a penny, was thirteen cents. A mite was less than a quarter of a cent. A n ephah, or hath, contained seven gallons and five pints. A 41rkln w a s about eight and sevene i e h t h s gallons. A cab was three pints.—The Bible- Reader. The June of the above club was held at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Griffin Palmer, south of Unadilla village on Saturday afternoon last. Owing to the republican caucus at Gregory, there was not as large a crowd present as usual but a good meeting was held. The meeting was called to order by president Howlett and opened by singing and a prayer by Rev. Palmer. By request F. L. Andrews repeated his paper "Farm Drains" which was read at Howell in February. The paper was much appreciated and discussed. Mi*. Howlett said that we must watch the little drains as they amounted to considerable in the end. Thought the drains of credit are going, into debt. . Rev. Palmer suggested that the farmer present take up the question "Resolved that the farmer give more attention to politics." Mr. Howlett thought there was certainly right and wrong in all politics and we should study to find out what was right. I believe that the man who puts a lot of money into politics to be elected is one who intends to get that money out of that office and is generally a man to be looked out for. G. Palmer, we see men in the township working for office for the same purpose. And today, men who we would not trust out of our sight, are controlling the politics of the country. Mr. Sales—the first thing we need is direct legislation. Rev. Palmer—we must not think that we can vote to benefit the farmer the first thing. We • must watch the drains and do the best we can with what we have. Mrs. Rev. Whitfield^sl5iHerjTre—said something about a man controling politics who they would not trust. The voter has that in his hand, it seems to me, if he is doing such voters should put him out of the office. The question of weeds, brush and brusli growing on the roadside drew out an interesting discussion. G. Palmer and ^ JJT Mr. Glenn thought that we should return to the lunch in order to get out the number. Mr. Howlett— We always get a thought fr idea out of the olub and who can tell the value of a single thought Should we train a dog to growl or bark at strangers. Mr. Ives— I try to train my dog not to growl at anyone. What is the best food for young turkeys? W. H. Say lea thought grasshoppers was if they could be got. Mrs. G. Palmer gives onion tops mixed with the feed. Mrs. Fred Stowe gave cooked feed— two-thirds cornmeal and one of bran. Mrs. Hartsuff drove her turkeys to a field where there were plenty of grasshoppers. What do you think of direct legislation? G. Palmer—thought it a very desireable way. I know of no other way to avoid the abuses we have in government today. Mr. Howlett—I would like to see it tried at any rate. How would you destroy potato bugs. Thought nothing was effective as paris green, put on with a sprayer. i t was decided to continue the club and the next meeting will be held at the home of Otto Arnold the third Saturday in July. It was voted that in place of the August meeting the club hold a picnic. You may as well expect to run a steam engine without water as to find an active energetic man with a torpid liver and you may know that his liver is torpid when he does not relish bis his food1 or feels dull and languii after eating, often has headache and sometimes dizziness.

Whedon, Cashier of the First National Bank of Winterset, Iowa, in a recent letter gives some experience with a carpenter in his employ, that will be of value to other mechanics. He says: u l had a carpenter working for me who was obliged to stop work for several days on account of being troubled with diarrhoea.

Homer Ives, did not believe in pasturing—did not like to watch other peoples or his own stock. Thought he should plow and plant potatoes on the side of the .road. Emory Glenn did not believe our roads were worked as they should be. Believed that the work should be done by a man hired to superintend the work and not have it' done as it is today, A. J. May—my opinion is we never will have good roads until we have a commissioner appointed and a direct tax raised. Mrs. Fred Stowe said that in Colorado they had a direct tax and never had bad roads. The roads were all under a commissioner. Recitation, Miss»Florence Anddrews. The question box was opened and the following found: Should we buy books of the average book agent? Mrs. Z. Hartsuff thought not. W. Sayles thought best to buy from the catalogue. After one year's experience, ^6¾ we feel that the farmers club pays? G. Palmer thought it certainly did pay as he had been benefited; Mr. Glenn also thought it paid as we certainly learned many things by meeting together. Many h a j ^ not time to attend the club once a m e *He ronnfji but can go fishing every week. W. H. Sales—if we wait for the work to be done we would never go to the club.—we should let the wbrk go at least half a day once a month and Attend the club.

It often, is a good plan to fill in three or four inches of dirt in t h e poultry house in order t o make sure that the quarters will be dry. Late hatched pullets will nearly alw a y s m a k e small hens as they do n o t grow after cold weather sets in; better send them to market. Millet, Hungarian, sorghum, b r o o m - corn seed, w h e a t screenings and milk enn all be used to advantage in m a k i n g up a variety for t h e fowls. While board floors are more e x p e n - sive, w i t h them it is easier to secure dry quarters The m o s t serious objection is that they are difficult to keep clean. The hens can be made to do greater service as egg producers by being given the privilege of h u n t i n g and i\-a'c1 i:\g *han by any other m o d e ; with proper exercise there is little danger of the hens g e t t i n g oyerfat.

Rotation and manures must be resor ed to as a m e a n s of keeping up the fertility. If meadow or stubble land is t o be used I would strongly advocate fall plowing. It can be done usually at a time when work is not rushing; it gives a better chance for the rubbish to decay and for the frost to a c t o n the sod."thus facilitating its ready pulverization in the spring; it will destroy many insect enemies that are liberating in the pupa state, by exposing them to the elements; and it m a y enable us to plant at a more s u i t a b l e time. The rougher the fall plowed surface the better. The rough surface presents a larger area to be repeatedly frozen and thawed than the level one; it presents a larger area from w h i c h water may evaporate a n d a better one for the absorption of the sun's heat.

A now top will soon grow out .in is warm weather, and you will Jiave a late (.-:op but an enormous burden of fruit. .Jack Frost taught me this trick, bu" the lesson cost me about $250. W h e n the final preparation of the seed bed Is made it will not only contain a larger amount of frost-prepared soil, but it will be distributed at a depth more suitable for the young plants than if the surface had been level during the winter. As to the depth of plowing, I would advocate under most circumstances six to seven inches for fall plowing and four to five inches for spring plowing. The increase in yield for deeper plowing, if there is an increase, will not be Sufficient t o pay the extra cost. Just before plantingr-make the seed^ bed level and well pulverized b y / t h e use of harrow or whatever other i m - plements will enable you to accomplish the cheapest. I say just before because this process will destroy all weeds that are beginning to grow, and before others will have had time to grow the young corn plant will probably have appeared. T h i s leveling and pulverizing procejas Is essential; first, because It enables us to plant at a uniform depth, thus facilitating an equal and uniform germination of the seed and 'growth of the young plant; and second, because small corn is much rjopre Quickly and perfectly cultivaf ed o n a level, well-prepared surface than o n a rough and cloddy one. A s to depth of planting w e find at the experiment station that better results are obtained by planting o n e inch deep rather t h a n at any greater depth.

Chrifltrian citizenship has a direct relation to the purity reform, because in order to be a true Christian or a good citizen one mast live a life of personal purity. But personal purity means more than propriety of conduct and cleanliness of body. "Purity means freedom from anything that polutes. It means cleanliness of thought and imagination, of piivate conversation and public speech; it means purity in wedlock as well as out of it, in men as well as in women, in youth as in old age." Purity means strength. "Aly strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure," says the Bible, and we know from observation that no man, however gifted, can escape the penalty of impurity. It debilitates the body, debases the thought, debauches the character and destroys the soul. It makes a man less a man and unfits him for citzenship. Personal purity is the beginning of all training for citiznship o r other work. Christian citizenship can do much for the purity reform by assisting to make and execute good laws against immoral literature and pictures which are being placed upon bill boards, distributed from saloons and surreptitiously given to school children. Mr. Anthony Cometock's noble work along this line but needs the hearty cooperation of every Christian citizen. — Christian citizenship also can help make and execute better laws for the punishment of crimes against women and the protection of innocent girlhood. The great "power behind the throne" that enforces law in this country and makes/it posible for justice to live among us in sprtte of fraud and wrong, is public sentiment. Much as woman suffers from man's injustice and lust, yet she would suffer far more if public sentiment did not protect her. To thispower we must ever appeal and the Christian citizen can help to build up a healthy, normal, public sentiment on all phrases of the purity reform.

JHATE school!" The speaker, a good-looking, dark-haired' boy, snapped his book shut aa he spoke and leaned pensively upon the desk. "So do I." came a pretty little voice, and looking across the aisle, Roland Havens saw Mamie Gray, the prettiest and sauciest girl in school, smiling and nodding at him. "I heard what you said," eaid Mamie, "and 1 agree with you. School is a hateful old thing." "Let's play truant to-morrow." The words were out of Roland's mouth before he thought, but once having said them, he was not going to take them back. "I'm afraid," said Mamie, looking at him but of the corner of her blue eyes. "Pshaw! you needn't be," said Roland. "We can say we went visiting. 1 will tell the teacher to-morrow that I went to see Sister Sue and you can tell her you well? to> spend the day with your grandmother." Mamie's eyes flashed. "We can go and gather violets," said Roland. "I know where there's a whole bank of them, blue as indigo and as big as—as—wild roses." "Is it far?" "No; only in Hatfield's woods, where we had our picnic last summer. We can start in the morning before 9 and get back by 4 o'clock. They won't say anything to us at home when we bring them all the violets." The next morning saw a guilty little pair scudding along , the paths which led out of the village and trying to avoid observation.by climbing the tall fences and walking the other side of the bare hedges, It seemed so good to be out in. the air once more. Roland enjoyed it thoroughly and Mamie liked it as well as her guilty conscience would permit. They were the leaders in all the pranks in school, these two children, and when anything went wrong the question was always asked, "Did Roland do-it?" or "Was it Mamie Grey's fault?" Yet neither meant to be naughty, and you may be sure that neither would have gone out that day had* they known what trouble the day would bring forth. "I guess this is where we turned off last fall," said Roland, pointing to two large trees which formed the beginning of a dense woods. In the summer the woods hung thick with green leaves, and a carpet of green lay upon the ground, but now it was bare, and in spots there were muddy pools and bits of marsh. "Oh, Roland, look! look!" cried Mamie, bending down, and pushing back the carpet of dried leaves. '"Here is a violet'" And sure enough, there it lay, half buried in the ground, yet peeping forth blue and lovely. "And here are others, oh dear! oh dear!" "Here," said Roland, "put them in my muffler; we will make a bag out of it, so. Then we will fill it with violets." Deeper and deeper into the woods they went, picking ever one "•more violet and ever venturing a little deeper into the blackness: "What makes it so dark?" asked Ro^ land once, stopping and looking up at the sky through the trees. 'Oh, dear!" he exclaimed, "it's going to rain." "Well, I'm hungry," said Mamie, "and 1 am going to stop and eat my lunch if it does rain." So with the drops falling gently around them, they sat upon the cold wet earth and ate their lunch. fast asleep. The next day Roland went back to school a changed boy. He realized how much trouble he had made his father and all his friends and determined to do better. Mamie took her share of the blame, too, and for a while at least no one would have recognized the studious boy who stood at the head of his class as the careless RoHnd of a short time before.—Columbus Dispatch.

Some Heavy is the burden of poetic ancestors which weighs on the little son recently born to the Hon. Neville Lytton, heir-presumptive to the earldom of Lytton. Through his father he is grandson cf Owen Meredith and greatgrandson of Bulwer Lytton, and through his mother great-grandson of Cord Byron and grandson of Wilfrid Blunt. The establishment of international telegraphs and telephones has made possibly direct dialogues between the foreign olflces of different governments. A writer i n t l i e National Review sees herein^a lightening of the duties of diplomatic functionaries and a pos~slbTe~|3mTnTltion of their importance. The world is becoming one neighborhood, / )uring the past winter, which has / b e e n marked by uncommonly high temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere, a similar elevation of temperature appears to have occurred in the Southern Hemisphere, which, of course, has its summer when we have our winter. In South America, South Africa and Austrlia exceedingly hot weather was experienced while our part of the world was enjoying a mild winter. The studies of the zodiacal light made at sea lead Mr. F. J. Bayidon, formerly of the British navy, to remark that the air over the Pacific Ocean appears clearer and better adapted for celestial observation than that lying over the Atlantic Ocean. Honolulu is admirably situated for clearness of air, and it may become an important outpost in astronomy. It has already baeii selected as one of the chief points for the s:udy o! the vibrations of the earth. A very large attendance has characterized the Paris exposition ever since the formal opening. The American attendance is much larger than was anticipated. President Loubet of the French republic, attends every •dedication made necessary by the delayed completion"Tnd-throwing open- to the public of the various buildings. The two palaces of fine arts were opened, with pictures by several hundred Ameriean artists prominently displayed. American sculptors have a fine display, while architects, engravers, and miniature painters have a separate section. It is claimed that America excels in all the arts except sculpture. It Is well known that Mrs. Emmons Blaine has made munificent provision for establishing the Chicago Institute, with-the twofold—object- ol^providing ideal educational conditions from kindergarten to college and offering to teachers the best advantages for professional training. One feature of the enterprise which is not often mentioned is of much importance. After the staff of instruction was appointed, the twenty-six men and women who comprise the staff were, placed under salaries and were allowed a year for maturing their own qualifications before being called to their respective chairs. Most of them are now pursuing special studies at universities. ('. C'VIn a little western town, originally settled by Quakers, stands a church in which the practice of seating men and women apart still prevails. A few years ago, a newcomer mustered courage to cross, the aisle and sit beside his bride.. The second Sunday another man committed the same offence, and the third Sunday saw a generous sprinkling of bared heads alongside spring bonnets. *The aged minister, with outraged sense of propriety, chose'for his text: "Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let hi8.net that he hath hid catch himself;" and minced no words In exposition. .The men who had dared to stray from established custom rebelled at being eternally doomed for sitting beside their wives, and left the church in a body. The result is that today in that little town stands- two church buildings, side by side, counterparts In size and paint and outlook; but in one the sexes are divided by ^ middle isle, while in the- other "promiscuous sitting" prevails. The trivialities which hinder Christian comity may travel far fdr an apter illustration, one came up to Bluebell, and, to her immense relief, she felt the horrid cloth being untied. The next moment it was drawn from her head, and then light, blessed light, albeit it was only a faint gray dawn as yet, flooded her eyes. Bluebell uttered a half-sobbing cry and looked around at her companions, then at herself. They were in the midst of a great stretch of arid "karoo"—nothing but red sand, unrelieved by bush, grass or sign of water, stretched about them. Around, however, ross great black cragsy rocks, with what seemed like a sandy ravine between, but the light was so dim Bluebell could not be sure. She was sure of one thing: That she had never been there before. She could only guess that they were about to enter a pass in tha mountain which separated Natal from the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. She looked at her companions. A native "boy," short-statured and attired almost in rags, with a villainous expression, walked beside her. On the other side;'"'mounted ona large bay hon?e, his dark, evil tacc turned towards her, was Gerald Moore. Then her eyes came back to herself. She had on the dark gown which she had thrown on when she had been aroused by the approach of the commando; a heavy tweed cloak covered it down to her feet. On the latter she had only the house slippers she had put on when she left her room. A little twoed cap covered her disheveled hair. That and the cloak, sho concluded, had been supplied.by Moore. She turned to him, her face like that of one who had passed through a frightful vigil, and come out of it pale and worn, hollow-eyed and heartbroken. A momentary flash of her old courage came to her as she saw the evil look in Moore's eyes. "Where are you taking me to?" she esclaimed. "Are you a man at all, that you can drag me from my home at such a time as this, when my father lies dead or dying, killed by your treachery?" "I took you for your own safety," he replied with a cold smile. "Oh, you are quite safe with me, Miss Bluebell; don't be afraid. We are within a day and a night's Journey of our destination. Once we are safely on Dutch soil you shall become my wife, and then we shall cross over to England as soon as may be." "You are the worst man that God has left upon earihilL&aid the girl deliberately. "But do you think you will frighten me Into what you wish, Gerald Moore. I am not afraid to die, and I will die rather than marry you. You have done your worst when you tempted and betrayed my poor father; you cannot do me'any harm how. God will help me against you." He laughed insultingly. "If it pleases you :o think so, my dear lady, 1 have no objections. As for dying—well, we _shall see about that. There are different ways of dying." All the morning hours they jolted, stumbled and bumped their way over the rutty and uneven plain. The full dawn broke, and the sun rose in all the glorious majesty of day. Then, as they entered the pass between the reeky hills, the full heat of the sun began to beat down upon them. It beat on Bluebell's unsheltered head and gave her a racking headache. Soon she became intensely thirsty, but no water was to be seen; but the pain and weariness of her body was as nothing compared to the anxiety, the fear, the anguish that racked her mind. "God, God, help me! There is none but Thou!" she prayed again and again. Then there came to her mind the remembrance of Adair Rothes' quiet, brave, strong face, and her heart bounded. Oh, if he only knew what had happened, would he not try to save her from this awful fate? About midday Moore called a halt. He came forward to help Bluebell off her horse, but she scornfully waved him aside and slipped off hersel.f. "You can easily catch me if I attempt to run away," she said; Even as the words passed her lips her heart beat high, Run away! Why should she not make a bold attempt? They could not be very far distant from some town, when- Moore had spoken of a day and' a night's journey..^And even if she lost herself on that terrible trackless plain, among those rocky mountains, better that fate than the one with which she was threatened. Leslie's house burned to the ground, and he himself shot by the commando! it is too terrible for belief!" The news had just been related to him by a messenger, who had managed to make his way into Ladysmlth; for by this time the war had commenced, and the battle of Glencoe been fought and won. Doctor Rothes had not as yet left the town, where he had been very busy, along with one or two others, in attending to the wounded and dying who had been brought into the town and conveyed to the house which had been converted into a hospital. No news of the outside world, save of the army that had ventured out to do battle with the enemy, had reached the little town until now. The messenger, a yoUng Dutch farmer, who had come to ask if he could be enrolled In the British army, was surprised and frightened when he saw the look of alarm and horror which overspread the young man's face. "It is what I have been told, Herr Doctor," said the young Dutchman stolidl)', "and I can tell you no more; j but it is certain Herr Leslie is dead, for he is to be buried today." Rothes was almost stupefied by the suddenness of the blow. "If the commando has done this without provocation we shall not let the matter rest there," he said. "And what of Miss Lcsiie and Miss Elisabeth, his daughter and sister?" The young man shook his head. He had given ail his Information. Rothes could not rest until he heard more. He arranged with the other medical men; and, escaping from the town, though under a heavy fire from the enemy, he rode at as mad a pace as he had ever indulged in, towards New Kelso, It was late in the afternoon when ha reached it, and, long ere he did so, he saw a ma33 of black ruins through rhe gum trees, which confirmed the story he had heard. He drew his breath in sharply, a feeling of almost overwhelming fear and foreboding seized upon him. Then he' rode up the avenue towards the black ruins that had once been so firm and sweet a home, and that had held the dearest thins to him on tarth— Bluebell, Bluebell! Where was she now? The outhouse in which the native ccrvants had slept .wcs, strangely enough, untouched by lire. Rothes rode up towards it, his heart beating v/ith dull han:mer-like throbs. As he neared it a figure emerged from the low, mud doorway. The building was merely a mud housa daubed over with clay. The figure wai that of Mis3 Elizabeth. She came quickly forward, and Rothes saw how shockingly changed she was. Her hair seemed to have grown grey, her face was like that of a very eld woman, drawn and wrinkled; her cheeks and eyes hollow and sunken, and the latter looked as if all the ters had been wrung out of them. But they had not. A dry sob burst from her as she recognized Rothes, and, as he clasped her hand, the tears Her chance was to come sooner than the expected. ' CHAPTER *VII. "It is impossible! I cannot believe [ # ! " exclaimed Adair Rothes. "Mr. rushed forth.""Thank: God! 'OnTTEahk God! It is a wonder to myself I have not gone mad during these long days! Never a white face that I knew to appeal to. But now— Oh, you will, for charity's dear sake, for the sake of the kind Lord above, you will seek for my lost child, Doctor Rothes?" He paled suddenly, holding the thin, hard-working hand in an unconsciously painful grasp. "Loot! What do you mean, Miss Elizabeth? Is It Bluebell who is lost?" "Yes, my bairn, my little Bluebell!" She Ipurst into the painful, bitter tears of old age. "Now my brother is gone -and God alone knows whether the awful charge they brought against him was true or not—I can think of nothing, of no one but my lost darling. Where is she? Is she still alive? Has death overtaken her, or something worse? Oh, if I but knew the truth, even If It were death, it would not be so awful! But this uncertainty—the Almighty above^nojys how I bear it and still keoffsane!" "Explain all to me, Miss Elisabeth." Rothes led her to an iron garden seat that the fire had been compelled to spare, and sat down beside her, his own face pale and set. "Tell me the whole affair as briefly as possible, and then I shall know what to do." She did so, with wonderful brevity and exactness. Whon she mentioned the name of Gerald Moore, Rothes started from his seat, his eyes blazing; then, with a gesture, asked her to go on. "I did not see where Bluebell was for a fong time. The leader of the Boers examined my brother for himself. '.He is dead; there is no doubt of i t It was an apoplectic stroke,' lit •aid. Then ho said he must take my brother's body with him. His orders wtre^to bring him dead or alive. J prayed. I besought Then suddenly the eerrants came running to say the house was on fire. It had been set fir* to by some of the Boers, misunderstanding an order of their leader—at least so they said. It was then I learned Bluebell was gone. Sam told mo he had seen Baas Moore carrying her off, with a cloth over her head; and when Sam had run after him, Moore covered him with a pistol." "You mean," said Rothes hoarsely, interrupting her, a look in his face that terrified the poor woman, "that it is that villain in whose hands she Is now?" "I tell you all I know," said Miss Elizabeth, sobbing. "Doctor Rothes, do you know anything? But let ine finish first. When the Boers saw the terrible conflagration they consulted hastily among themselves, and finally made off, leaving me with my dead and half-crazed servants. Well, we carried my brother's body outside and, without trying to save anything, I sent Sam and Monti in search of Bluebell. They did not return till night, and then without having found any trace of her. That all happened three days ago. We had to bury my brother ourselves." Miss Elizabeth's vclce choked. "The boys managed a kind of wooden shell to lay him in, and they, buried him under the kopje nearest the river. What else could we do?" Miss Elizabeth wrung her hands. "Doctor Rothes, there was no minister to say a prayer; I had to do it myself. Oh, my poor brother!" The tone of anguish In the poor lady's voice would have touched a far more callouB heart than Adair Rothes'. His whole mind was taken up with Bluebell's fate, and ho had far more reason than Miss Elizabeth to mistrust Moore. Yet he laid his hand for a moment consolingly on that if the poor woman. "Miss Elizabeth, you are a Christian, and you know and believe that God's hand guides all the events of our lives.. Your brother is in His hands, and we know that they arc hands of infinite wisdom and mercy. We have the living to think of now. Tell me, have you done anything more to find •your niece?" "I have sent Sam again in search of her. He knew the country better than anyone else, and he hftB taken Kaiser, my brother's horse. He went away yesterday morning, and I gave him food and drink enough to last several days." "Which direction did he take?" Rothe3 asked. He had gone southwards, toward the Tugcla river, she said. "Then I shall take the other direction," said Rothes, standing up. "I am certain if Gerald Moore, as he calls himself, has carried her off, he has takefi her beyond British territory. I know that man, Miss Elizabeth. He is a scoundrel of the deepest dye!" "What do you know of him?" she gasped, seizing his arm. "Oh, God forbid that my darling Bhould be in the hands of such a man, if he is what you say!" "I knew him in Marltzburg," said Rothes briefly. "I learned by ehance what he was, and he knew It, and hates me for it. He robbed a dead man at Kimberley. That Is how he obtained his wealth. "And, almost worse than that, ne has beeri a vile spy in the pay of the Boers. The Boers despise him; but he has been of use to them. Now I must wait no longer, Miss Elizabeth. I must hurry back to Ladyamith. I cannot leave my duties there without warning. But tonight I shall be on Moore's track* and, please God, I shall find him yet." She Clasped his hand, weeping. "You are going to seek for my darling? Oh, may God bless you and givo you success! It is He who has put it Into your heart to help me!" He looked at her for a moment, Words seemed trembling on his lipe; but he checked them and wrung her hand instead. "Good-by, Miss Elizabeth. Take care of yourself, and make yourself as comfortable as you can. I can't ask you to go to a place where you would be safer than here, for I wish to find you when I come back. And I shall not come back until I have found her, with God's help. Good-by, good-by!" He was gone, and Miss Elizabeth was left alone with her fear and anxiety, and only her native servants as companions. It was late that night when Rothes was able to set out. He struck across country from Ladysmlth, following the Tugela for some time, then skirting the mountains. He had brought with him his native boy, a lithe and hardy little Zulu, who was as clever at following a "spoor" as a red Indian. His own horse was a hardy and sure-footed animal; the Zulu rode an equally sturdy though smaller beast, barebacked.

There is probably no w o m a n in t h e United States for w h o m there is felt so universally an affectionate respect and regard as for that simple, s w e e t and m o d e s t - y o u n g student, Helen Keller; nor does the public ever weary of l i s t e n i n g to new anecdotes of others afflicted as she is—especially of their progress on the thorny road to knowledge. One of these unfortunates is Elizabeth Robin, now a student at the Perkins Institution for t h e Blind, in Boston. Klngsley's "Greek H e r o e s " formed the basis of the reading l e s s o n s c f her class at the beginning of the year. In the discussion of the book, Elizabeth g a v e prompt a n s w e r s to questions. S h e declared the difference between a hero and a god to be this: "A hero is half-powerful, whereas a god is all-powerful." A s k e d if she had ever s e e n a hero, j?he responded quickly: "Edith (a companion afflicted like herself) is a hero because she i s not afraid of anything. After a m o m e n t ' s reflection,,she added: "We m i g h t call her a heroess, but s h e isn't really a hero." The story of Elizabeth's work in arithmetic is one of alternate victory and defeat. Her m o s t serious deficiency lies in the lack of power to analyze problems. She spent a long time over one difficult example, and when a s k M how s h e was progressing, replied: "He is a Spaniard, but I hope to conquer him." Later she said: "I have been a s k i n g the Spaniard all sorts of questions, but he will not answer me. My brains are heavy." Returning to the task on the following morning w i t h renewed zest, she gained the victory. In the solution of one l o n g problem, requiring the use of m a n y ciphers, Elizabeth used all the ciphers on her type-slate, and t h e n substituted units. T T n r a g i n e d the ones were ciphers," she explained, "and it w a s hard, and I w a s almost mixed." S h e had,"' however, arrived at the correct conclusion. She shares in g y m - nasium work and games, and e n j o y s them heartily. She is also a good dancer. She runs w i t h great speed, and preferably alone. At one time she hurt herself severely by running into a wall, but her Spartan c o m m e n t w a s only: "I would rather be bumped than not run." T h a t is the spirit of a real heroess."—Youths' Companion.

The summer's heat kills babies and little children because their little insides are not in good, clean, strong condition. Winter has filled the system with bile. Belching, vomiting up of sour food, rash, flushed, skin, colic, restlessness, diarrhoea or constipation, all testify that the bowels are out of order. If you want the little ones to face the coming: dang^rs_with^_ out anxious fear for their lives* see that the baby's bowels are gently, soothingly, but positively cleaned out in the spring time, ind made strong And healthy before hot lueather sets in* The only safe laxative for children, pleasant to take (they fisk for more) is CASCARETS* Nursing mothers make their milk mildly purgative for the baby by eating a CASCARET now and then. Mama eats a CASCARET, baby gets the benefit. Try it!

It w a s t h i t h e r he carried Bluehall, not knowing' w h e t h e r uhe would live or die. T h e farmer, Mr. Dalziel, learning t h e f a c t s of t h e case—he h a d a l - ready heard of t h e tragedy of N e w Kelso—insisted on s e n d i n g h i s "spider" at o n c e for Miss E l l t a b e t h , n o t - w i t h s t a n d i n g t h e unsettled state of t h e country. Bluebell wafc laid in a pretty 'White bed in t h e little bedroom, which opened, l i k e m a n y South African bedrooms, o u t into t h e garden; a n d there. s h e lay for m a n y hours like o n e dead, with hardly a pulse t o respond t o Rothes' touch.

My throat, It's like a red-hot coal!" Then she would imagine herself in Moore'.; power. "No, n o ! - i , shall die before I marry you—die a thousand times rather! G God, is there no help for m e ? H e l p me, merciful, kind God!" T h e n - h e r voice sank to a whisner. "If Adair were here—ah, he would help me! Ho is good a'nd brave. But he will never k n o w n o w that I loved him." T h e voice trembled a little, and then silence— blessed silence—came. And Adair Rothes, with trembling hands, and eyes full of passionate, l o n g i n g tenderness, bent over t h e u n - conscious girl with a n agonized prayer. ~ "Merciful God, spare her t o m e . if it be T h y w i l l ! My darling—my o w n darling! A n d s h e cried t o -me in her extremity, and I did not k n o w of it! Bluebell, B l u e b e l l ! " Miss Elizabeth arrived in the spider twenty-four hours aftar, and could only w r i n g Rothes' hand in silence, her thin, sallow, unlovely face worki n g convulsively. "God will spare her, Miss Elizabeth," R o t h e s said huskily, "We both owe a debt we can never repay to t h e young fellow w h o found her, for you k n o w it w a s not I w h o did so. W e might never have seen her again but for Lieutenant Preston." Rothes knew his duty lay in Ladysmith, y e t he could not tear himself from Bluebell's side until h e k n e w whether it was to be life or death.

"I have loved you ever since I first met you at Maritzburg, Bluebell; but I never dared to hope. Bluebell, it s e e m s w r o n g to speak of it at this terrible t i m e : but you do care a little, after all, about me?—do y o u ? " The little, wasted hand stroked his cheek. "I love you with all m y heart, Adair. I k n e w it that awful night w h e n the Boers"—she paused, shuddering. "Yon'll t a k e care of me. and n o t let t h a t dreadful m a n come n e a r mo?"'. H e folded t h e hand t o h i s breast, and, bending; kissed again and again the pale little face, cheeks, and eyes and lips. R o t h e s went back to Ladysmith next day. T h e battle of E l a n d s l a a g t e had taken place, and t h e hospital in t h e little t o w n was full.

B u t there w a s s o m e t h i n g in h i s face w h i c h made Bluebell's heart fret with mingled fear and anxiety. "You have s o m e n e w s ? W h a t i s it? Tell m e quickly, A d a i r ! " s h e breathed, lifting her face from its hiding place. "Yes, m y darling," R o t h e s answered slowly; "I have strange n e w s for you. I do not k n o w h o w y o u will take it, Bluebell; s o m e t h i n g very terrible happened at t h e battle o n Monday. Some one w a s killed there—some one w h o m you k n e w ! " "It w a s Gerald Moore!" said Bluebell quickly. She turned very pale, a n d shivered a little. "I went up to him, w h e n t h e battle was nearly over, hearing h i m groaning.

As I turned he uttered a strange sound, the gun dropped from his hand, and he fell back on the grassy knoll. W h e n I reached him he w a s dead!" W i t h a little cry Bluebell folded her arms about her lover's neck. "Oh, Adair, thank God! thank God, you were saved.'" "For a few m i n u t e s R o t h e s did not speak. IIis strong m o u t h quivered a little.. A t last he said: "Now comes t h e strange n e w s I have for you, Bluebell.

Those papars affect y o u , and you only." "Adair, what can y o u m e a n ? " she asked, in startled surprise. Adair took her hand in his. and held it for a m o m e n t without speaking. "A barrier h a s risen up between you a n d ' m e , Bluebell—a barrier such as I never dre?.mt of. I am a poor man— you are an heiress." She uttered an incredulous exclamation. "It is true, Bluebell.

She uttered a little cry, her face deathly white. "Adair! You wish to g e t rid of me, then? Oh, and I thought—I thought —you loved m e ! " He clasped her close, covering t h e sweet face w i t h passionate kisses. "My o w n darling"!

The imported elm leaf beetle (Galerucella luteola). a, foliage of European elm showing method of work of beetle and larva—natural size; b, adult beetle; c, egg mass; d, young larvae; e, full-grown larva; g, pupa—all greatly enlarged; f, mouth parts of full-grown larva— still more enlarged (original). may be recognized on his appearance. It feeds on the elm tree and Is not known to attack any other. The adult beetles attack the tender leaves in the spring and lay eggs. The slugs from tbe worms continue the attack on the leaves till l a t e in June, and in the South there is sometimes a late brood that begins feeding on the leaves in August. The beetles, after flying around for some time, go into win.er quarters. The entomologist of the Department of Agriculture at Washington— recommends spraying-4he tree* once just after the buds have opened, and this will kill the beetle. The spraying of large elm trees requires special apparatus, but the attack many times will be on smal trees that can be covered by the usual apparatus. K o a d s i d e F r u i t - t r e e s . in France, Germany and other European countries a large percentage of the fruit consumed is grown on trees planted along the roadsides. These trees are a source of considerable revenue to the local authorities, town or city governments who planted them, and sell the fruit on tbe trees to the highest bidder. I see it stated that in Belgium there are three quarters of a million roadside fruit-tiees, which in one year produced $2,000,000 worth of fruit. I am sure that the sour cherries alone that are grown along the roadsides in Germany figure up many million dollars in value. The sour cherry there is the most commonly found roadside fruit-tree. The sweat cherry is also frequently seen, and .BO is the prune and plum, the pear, the apple, the walnut and the chestnut. Our European brethren are too practical to plant trees along the roadsides that are merely ornamental. I believe that In many cases here, especially in back settlements where the depredations of the small boy are less to be feared than near the big cities, we might profitably select fruit-trees in place of t h e usual elms, maples and other mere shade trees when planting roadsides. Basswood or lindens, however, may be planted with profit where bees are kept. A large tree i s apt to. yield dollars' worth of honey in a good year. Besides, it is a stately tree and good to provide shade. Last summer I noticed that my European linden bloomed quite a little later than did the American basswood around me. I do not know whether this is a general observation or whether there is some difference n the blooming season of all lindens. Should the European species be a confirmed, tardy bloomer, it would bo advisable for bee-keepers to set trees of both kinds in order to prolong the season of the basswood honey flow. Whatever trees we plant on the roadside, however, should be trimmed up rather high. Lola "Moran Mary Love h'iH. fPgesssj aad occupy th* taltsst mtfcant.lt building in tne world.

' • t«80 .... Wilt B. Darrow. I t t l l z i n g Fr*Mh M a n u r e . 1 have tried quite a number of plana of handling manure on my farm by, which tc economize labor and at the sair.r tinio get all possible benefits from -the manure, and as a result of these trials on the field I have the manure hauled direct from the stables and sheds, scattering as freely as possible on plowed land and then at the firs: opportune;y harrow or cultivate :n:o' th.> surface. I ;-:-.\y only ,1 small farm—fifty acres —r.r.tl I must make it produce as much a* p^s>ibi<\ and it always was an item with me to make and save all the manure possible and apply to the land to the l e s t advantage, always taking into consideration the cost; and while theorists might adopt % tttfttfSfct plan of management, practieaaty I like it.— N.

Among tae many romantic careers of prominent Americans few stand *»ioro conspicuous tnan that of Congressman William Lorimer of the second Illinois district. He is the recognized leader of the republican party in Cook county, a power in state and national politics and one of the strongest men In the house of representatives. When a mere child ho was thrown upon his own resources amid the toilers of Chicago. With perseverance seldom equaled he has fought his way t o the front. William Lorimer was born In England iri 1861. When 5 years old he came with his parents to this country. Attcr being in a number of places", the CHEAP RATES T O COLORADO. CONGRESSMAN WM, LORIMER. . elder Lorimer, who was a Presbyterian minister, moved with his iamily to Chicago in 1870. The following year ho ciied, and his family was left In almost destitute circumstances. The present congressman was then a boy of 10 years old, and he was anxious to aidin supporting his mother, brother and four sls-ters. The family lived in a neighborhood where all the people were comparatively poor and many of the boys sold newspapers. They told young "Billy" Lorimer that lie could make money if he would start out and hustle in selling newspapers. He heeded tha advice*, and the first day made $1 dear profit. This was the first money that he had ever earned, and hp took it home and gave it to his mother. Later he secured a bootblacking kit and soon did a rthjfiving business among the sporting men of Clark street. Aid. . Michael Kerma, known as "Hinky Dink," remembers him as a bootblack. When he was 15 -he gave up the bootblacking business and worked as clerk in different places, including Armour & Co. and Nelson Morris. While in these last two places he learned all branches of the packing business and became an expert in each. While with Morris Ms health commenced to fail, and he secured a position as street car . conductor and worked on the different car lines tor rive years. While in this position he showed his ability as a leader and organizer, tor he was the moving spirit in forming the Street Railway Employes' Benevolent association: In every1 position that he has held and in any business* rn-wibich he has been engaged, he has been an indefatigable worker, or as his friends say, a hustler. He was successful as a real estate dealer and as a coal merchant. He is now successfully engaged in the manufacture of bric)t, and for the past few years has made many profitable investment^'in stocks. In congress he has disttngtifelreid- himself and has secured the passage of many measures of great importance to Chicago and Illinois, and has been prominent in debating some of the great national questions. He does not use tobacco in any form and is an absolute teetotaler. He never uses profane language and no one has ever heard him utter a vulgar word. , He has a remarkably even tem- , per, and if he does get mad i*o one ever knows it, for he shows no sign of anger. He is always for conciliation and harmony if possible, but If they cannot be secured, then he is for war to the knife. He never went to school a day in his life, but is, nevertheless, a fine scholar— He has a large and well-selected library and is a great reader. His favorite books are those written by Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo, and he nas~TeTead them many times. He likes these authors because they portray the phases of humble life with -which he was, acquainted in his youth. He is devoted to his family, and his leisure time is spent in the company of his wife and two boys and six girls. He still takes care of his mother, and every comfort that his means will allow is afforded her. His most prominent characteristic Is his devotion to bis friends. He never forgets a favo<, or a kind, honest word. rado and Utah will be on sate via all lines from Chicago, S t Louis and potato east of the Missouri river, Juno 20, July 9, 17, And* August 1, and from Missouri river posits. a n 4 points in Kansas and Nebraska,'^une 21, July 7. 8, 9, 10 and 18 and August 2, at a ratio of one fare plus $1,-for the round trip. To enable touristy and pleasure seekers who take advantage of these special excursions to visit the many points of interest in the Rocky Mountain region, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, 'The Scenic Line of the World" will make very low rates for the round trip from Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo to all principal resorts and scenic points of interest in Colorado and to Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah. A TRIP "AROUND THE CIRCLE." The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad,, with its numerous branches penetrating the great fetate of Colorado, has some 37 different "Circle" tours through the mountains, one of which in particular is the famous 1,000 mile tour, passing the following, points of interest: La Veta,. Poncha Pass, Toltec Gorge, Durango-Dolores Canon, Rico, Lizard Head Pass or Las Animas Canon, Silverton, Ouray-Cimarron Canon, Black Canon, Marshall Pass and the Royal Gorge. This trip can be comfortably made in four days, but at least ten days ought to be devoted to it so-as one may leisurely inspect the principal sights and occasionally gain rest from fatigue incident to railroad travel. ANOTHER NOTED TRIP is the trip from Denver to firand Junction and return going via the narrow gauge line climbing Marshall Pass and winding through the Black Canon of the Gunnison,. returning over^ the broad gauge through Glenwood Springs and the Grand River Canon, over Tennessee Pass, through Lea-dviTle and the Royal Gorge. This trip is most conveniently made by leaving Denver, Colorado Springs or Pueblo on the night train which arrives at Salida the next morning for breakfast, continuing from there over Marshall Pass and arriving at Grand Junction in the afternoon. Here close-connections are made with trains for Glenwood Springs, ?The KIsslngen of America," arriving there in the evening; at this point travelers should at least remain over night. When leaving Glenwood Springs it is most'desirable to take a_mornin& train* as this completes the arrangement to pass all of the scenery on the trip by daylight. * A TRIP TO SALT LAKE CITY. Tickets reading to Salt Lake City via the "Scenic Line" in connection with the Rio Grande Western Ry., are available over the Denver and Rio Grande, either via its main line through Leadville and Glenwood Springs, or via the line over Marshall Pass and through tbe Black Canon, thus enabling the traveler to use one of the above routes going and the other returning.

MAN OjF IXPERlENf sbatf*ant n i y land, va/B What He Found in Western the climate to «<*nentw » wC an™a& tVtSf-tMt^UnMd» u»c»e Hw wunl w u Prince Albert is * flourirtini little " I f f ! Sftult Ste. M«rie, M b * . , Feb. 2 0 ^ , -1900. To W n o l M t MfrfcC&toeern:—Especially to those who are desirous of obtaining health and wealth for themjMlves and families, X 4»ish .to; state a few facta in regard to the Canadian North-west, where I went, leaving Sault Ste. Marie on May 2nd, 18*0, for the purpose of seeking a better home for my family in the future. I got a special rate ticket J e r F t McLeod, Alberta,- Through Manitoba and part of Assinlbola the farmers were busy employed ploughing and seeding. I found the farmers very kind and friendly, willing to talk and assist in giving me the particulars of the country. At McLeod I spent a few days looking over some ranchers' stock, which I waft surprised to see looking so well; they were in better condition than any stock I ever saw in Michigan, even those that had been stabled, and most of these had never seen the i n - side of a shed or received any feed from the hands of man. But as I was also looking for mixed farm land I found McLeod no place for me, it is only fit for ranching purposes. Retracing my way back to Winni- *peg, I stopped off at Lethbridge, where I found some of the greatest horse ranches J/ever Had the pleasure of looking~at. It is a fine level country, and lots of water and good grazing. At Medicine Hat, which is located in a valley, there were lots of sheep, cattle and horses in the surrounding country and all looking well. On July 14th I went to Regina, there I began to see mixed farming lands in abundance, and the crops looking remarkably well, and as long as daylight lasted I saw the same all along the line and JOJI the15th_day of July I arrived in Winnipeg, ju3t in time for the exhibition. There I met with one of the most beautiful pictures of the world's records, for aa soon as I entered the grounds my eyes met with all kinds of machinery, all in motion, and the cattle, grain and produce of the country was far beyond my expectation, in fact it was beyond any industrial exhibition or agricultural fair I ever visited and I have seen a good many. From Regina to Prince Albert, a distance of 250 miles, it is all good for mixed farming, and well settled, with some thriving little towns. In some places the grain, just coming into head, would take a man to the waist, and the wild fruit along the line was good, rich and in great quantities, from Saskatoon on the south branch of the Saskatchewan river, to Prince Albert on the north branch of the same river, is one of the best farming districts without any doubt that ever laid face to the sun, and everything to be found there, that is necessary to make life comfortable, all that is required is labor. There is lots of wood, good water, a n d * place, situated on the north Saskatchewan fiver, having a population of about l . W with good street and sidewalks ant! ' churches of nearly every denomination, three school houses, and another one to be built a t once, also a brewery and a creamery; Here I stayed lor about four months,1 working at my trade of bricklaying, and met witn farmers and ranchers with whom I made It my special business to talk in regard to the prospects. I also visited several farmers for some distance out in the country while crops were in full bloom, and I may say that I never saw better crops in all my travels than X saw along the valley towards Stoney Creek and Carrot River. In the market garden there is grown currants, both red and black, and aa fine a sample of roots and vegetables as ever went on a market. The soil in and around this district cannot be beaten for anything you may wish t o grow, and besides the season is long, giving time for everything to mature. The cattle were looking'as good as I saw anywhere, good pasture and hay land, and plenty of water wherever you go. The country is dotted all around like islands with timber fit for fuel and building purposes and within a day's walk of lumbering wood3t where lumbering and tie making 13 carried on in winter. Both large and small game is plentiful. There are two good saw mills in this district, with a good supply of all grades of lumber all the year round and also two good brickyards with an excellent quality of brick. There is no scarcity of building material and at a reasonable price. Clothing and living are no higher than I find in Michigan, and furthermore I wish to say that there i3 a great demand for laboring men all the year round and good wage3 ranging from_J1.75 to ¢2-.00 per day, and from $25.00 to $35.00'per month with^ board. I wish to say that I am perfectly sat»" isfled with the country and I intend to return to Prince Albert early in tho spring of 1900. Any reasonable man can g o there and in from five to ten years make a good and comfortable home for himself and family, and if any person into whose hand this letter should fall, desires more information, please write t o m e and I will freely give them my beat opinion. I am, writing this for the benefit of those who may want to make a better home for themselves and families or friends. Trusting that this statement may be useful to you in the publication of your next pamphlet and be the means of guiding at least some of those who are in search of a home, I remain Your humble servant, (Signed) - WILLIAM PAYNE.
