"You are sure you put It out Alice?" : **l am quite sure of that It was lying first in the case, and—" "Yes, It was," interrupted Hughes. "That was its place." "And consequently the first that I took out," continued Alice. "I put It e a the table; and the others around a\ near to me. Why, as a proof that is lay there " What was Alice going to add? Was aha going to adduce as a proof that Gerard Hope had taken it up, and it had been a subject of conversation between them? If so, recollection came to her in time, and she faltered and abruptly broke off. But a faint, horrible dread, to which she would not give shape, came stealing over her, and her face turn d w h t \ and, she on a chair trembling visibly. "Now look a t Alice!" uttered Fran- Chenevix; "she is going into one of her agitation fits." "Don't allcw ycu s>lf to b3 agitated, Alice," cried Lady Sarah; "that will do no good. Besides, I feel sure the bracelet is all safe in the case; where else can it be? Fetch the case, Hughes, and I will look for it myself." Hughes whisked out of the room, inwardly resenting the doubt cast upon her eyesight "It is so strange," mused Alice, "that you did net sae the bracelet when you came up." "It was certainly not there," resumed Lady Sarah. "Perhaps you will look for yourself now, my lady,'' cried Hughes, returning with the jewel box in her hands. The box was well searched. The .bracelet was not there. "This is very strange, Hughes," ut- ?fered Lady Sarah. *It*s very ugly, as well, my lady " ...answered Hughes, in a lofty tone, "and I'm thankful to the presiding -geniuses which rule, such things that I was not in charge when it never wou*4 have taken place, for I can give tunate Gerard Hope had bracelet Do as she would aha conld not put it from her; she kept reseat* ing that he was a gentleman, that ha was honorable, that he would place her in so painful a posittcn, mon sense replied that the was laid before him, and he had fessed his pecuniary difficulties to ha great; nay, had he not wished for thai very bracelet—that he might money "f J"» 'i* ?&Ms&&j&mti^ * .-- ^ T h e y were in ray charge, and onse t them has been abstracted.

I locked the box last night in Lady Sarah's presence, and the key was not out of Tny pocket afterwards until you took i t from thence this morning." •"The key seems to have had nothing to do with it," interposed Frances Chenevix. "Alice says she put the dla- • o n d bracelet on the table with the treat; Lady Sarah says when she went t o the table after dinner It was not there; so it must have been in the intervening period that the—the—disappearance took place."

"Was it really forgetfulness, Alice, or did yon contrive to telegraph him to he silent?" "Thomas only spoke the truth.

Her sister acknowledged that she was In need of "a hundred pounds or so," and had seen her coming from the room where the jewels lay. take a bracelet! It was Preposterous or not, Alice's was doubled.

Not only was the denial of her sister fervent and calm but her manner and countenance conveyed the impression of truth. Alice left her inexpressibly relieved, but the conviction that it must have been Gerard returned to her in full force. "I wish I could see him!" was her mental exclamation. And for once fortune favored her wish. As she was dragging her weary limbs along he came right upon her at the corner of a street. In her eagerness she clasped* his arms with both her hands.

Labor's scheme for an organization to fight the Injunctions of judges and courts against strikers has been realised by the founding of the Chicago Anti-Injunction League at a special meeting of the officials of the Chicago Federation of Labor. Provision for starting a vast sinking fund to wage legal battle in court against the Imprisonment of any strikers or pickets under the injunction processes is a notable feature of the new body. A Celebrated Cn«e. "When wo have told all we know to support the charges we have made against Miss Jane Toppnn, the Robineon poisoning case, the most famous, that has ever been heard in a Massachusetts court, will sink Into insignificance." , This statement was made Sunday by Gen. Whitney, of the state police, who renohed borne in Medford Sunday morning from New Hampshire. AMUSEH«NTS IX DKTROIT. WUK SKDING MOV. Id.

Day* set apart # r thanksgiving were known in Europe before the Reforj& atlon. and were in frequent use by Protestants afterward. But the • w t New England Thanksgiving was not a. day of religious observance, but . a day of recreation. Edward TV.nslow writing December 11, 1621, to a friend 4* England, says: "Our harvest s bein* gotten In, our governor seat four men out fowling so that we might, after a spa h i S A n r, rejo ce together after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. The four killed as jaiicb fowl, as with a little help beside, served the company about a week. ~ At which times among our recreations we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king, Masaasoyt, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer which they brought and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captains and others." As Governor Bradford recorded that during; that autunn "beside water fowl* ther was great store of wild turkies," the Pilgrims fared better at their Thanksgiving than their English cousins, for turkeys were not plentiful in England at that date. The Indian visitors Joined In the games. These recreations were doubtless competitions in cunning, leap nj, Jumping [and perhaps* stool-box. Frpbsnly the women of $fae colony had Itttte time to Join in the recreations as the four women,' with the help of one servant, and a few young maids, had to prepare and cook food for 120 hungry men. There is no record of any special religious service during this week of feasting. On February 22, in 1680. the first public thanksgiving was hed in Boston by the Bay staTeTcolonv-itr gratitude for the safe arrival of ships bearing food and friends. On November 4, 1631, Thanksgiving day was kept again in Boston. From that time till 1684 there were i t least 12 public thanksgiving days appointed i n Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut People do not stem to have celebrated Thanksgiving in the early days. In Connecticut the festival was not regularly observed until 1716. Thanksgiving was not always appointed in early days for the same token of God's beneficence, nor was It always set upon Thursday or for. any special aeason, but the frequent appointment in gratitude for bountiful harvests finally made the autumn the customary time. When the festival of Thanks became annual i t assumed many features of the old English Christinas. In the year 1677 the first regular Thanksgiving proclamation was printed. Neither ebiiiaware nor earthenware was plentiful. in early days, although earthenware Is mentioned in early inventories. The table furnishings consisted largely of wood* en trenchers. The time when America was settled was the era when pewterware and a set of "garnish" of pewter was a source of great pride to every colonial housekeeper. A universal table furnishing was the porringer, which was usually of pewter. When not in use these were hung by their handles on the edge cf the dress* er shelf. *-wr 3 mmm As interesting discovery has Jag* been made by a Portugal savant, jg, fcattovdo VaaconceHos hat found la a lorgotteft WM»u*rtpt a T«nr'aaateat poem, the existence' of which was known, but which was thought to has* been Jost The poem, compeoea la honor of Salute-Fay d'Agon* contains S»8 stsosaa.

Larroque, in Comtes Rendus, states that, being attracted by the peculiar effect thunder storms at a distance, of many miles often have upon persons afflicted with certain nervous diseases long before any Instrument now in use indicates any atmospheric disturbance. It occurred to him that Hertzian waves emitted by thunder storms might possibly be transmitted over enormous distances through the middle and higher atmospher by some means analogous to relays. In order to test his idea he constructed a receiver made of a horizontal plate of zinc 40 cm. in diameter, earthed by a thin copper wire containing a spark gap located in a dark cellar. With this device, in June, 1901, he made several series of nocturnal observations. In one of them the manifestations coincided with the blizzard in the Grampians, and in another with the thunder storm which on the night of June 18 was visible over Corsica, the sky being serene in both cases where the observations were made. M. Larroque points out the importance of this character of meteorological observation, but ventures no explanation of the cause of the transmission of Hertzian waves over such-enormous distances. —Philadelphia Times.

The two most remarkable are the chairs of Ivan the Terrible and the one io St George's Hall of the Winter Palace at St. Petersburg. The former is oi turquoises. In the back alone there are 10,000 of these gems. The other chair is of costly woods, with ivory and gold, richly jeweled, and embossed with the imperial eagle. Tne seat is bf ermine, and the arms are ivory tusks. Further east, in Teheran, the Shah displays himself on a white marble throne, looted from Delhi in 1739.

There is a small kitchen for cooking food, racks to the white enameled bowls and plates used at feeding time, and a large book wherein is inscribed the family history of members of the establishment By many men cats are regarded as a nuisance, if nothing worse, but by a specially fortunate circumstance Lord Bereeford is deeply interested in felines himself, and is in thorough sympathy with his wife's hobby.

To a Journal reporter Mr. Smith said: "One of my main objects in coming here is to agitate the matter of a suitable rural delivery; aUo looking into the matter of good roads. The better the roads the quicker the delivery. I would like very much to inaugerate a system which is now in use in Marylaud cf delivering by automobile. There a horse can go 27 to 30 miles a day, an automobile can go 100 miles, and, of course, can reach just that many more farmers. But that is all in the air yet The farmers along the line of the trolley road, between Ann Arbor and Detroit, with few exceptions, have placed their names in large letters on boards in front of their" homes. It is proving of great convience to the conductors and passengers of the trolley cars. It is hoped the farmers between Friends of the canteen are not aliitle taken by General Miles' advanced position concerning liquor in the army. While the General was conserative in his statement at the time the law was passed, he has watched its beaeficient results during the ten months of its operation, and now openly declares that desertions in the army have decreased and that drunkenness and general disord* erliness have not prevailed to any such extent as they did when the canteen existed. If the measure comes up before our next Congress, as it undoubtedly will, General Allies will give his strong testimony to the value of the law, as it now stands. The Reform Bureau urges temperance people submit to their congressmen or to President Roosevelt a brief note, with their signatures to the words 'I agree with General Miles when he says: *I don't believe the present law should be repealed until it has been given a fair trial.'

Significant glances - were exchanged by the potato pIcKers during 11 few days, and Bill's operations at the sorting machine and his brief conferences with the sack sewer kept the gang Interested. "I'm gittln' kinder anxious 'bout the ole man's seed spuds, fur, if you'll notice, the sacks with the biggest bulges runnin' down the sides are decorated with a bowknot of manila twine," said one of the digger drivers, as he started out on one of the endless rows, turning up the mellow earth and the great, smooth potato which only Colorado can produce. Behind him came a score of pickers, who gathered the potatoes In baskets and poured them into the sorting machine run bj BUI. The sack sewer, armed with a huge needle and a ball of manila twine, brought up the rear of the procession. '•An' If you'll notice," continued the digger driver, as be came back half an hour later to begin another row, as tf his mind had dwelt upon the one thought during the interval, "them same bowknotted sacks are disappearin' in the direction of the cull cellar.

We might hev ter take a punch at some of them Juseks ter help Bill carry out his plans." The job was finally concluded and the potato gang prepared, to move to the next ranch.

The complications in the harness of the cookhouse teams and in the machinery of the diggers adjusted themselves as if by magic and the procession moved off merrily. .

When we say that a person la "as fast aa a porpoise," we hardly associate a quick rate of swimming' with that individual, yet he and everybody else would like to be able to get through the water as rapidly. Porpoises have been seen to dart round and round a steamer traveling seventeen mUes an hour, thus proving their capacity to swim at a greater rate than that. The dolphin may be placed on a level with the porpoise, bat the bonito has occasionally been known to approach forty miles for short distances. Herrings, in shoals, move steadily at a rate between ten and twelve miles; mackerel swim much faster, and both trout and salmon go at a rapid pace when migrating up a stream for spawning. Whales are not fish In the scientific sense, but it is interesting to note that these monsters swim at a rate of sixteen miles an hour when excited, although their ordinary speed is estimated at between four and five miles. who porcbaaea of us, two 25c botea of Baxter's Jfcadrake pittera T{ if it fails to cure aoaati pation, b|Kooenesa, siok-headacbe, jaiMKHaa, loss of appetite, soar stomach^ dyapepstf liver complaint, or any ot the diseases for which it is recommeaded. .

Sculptors de- Ught in folds and looseness, and what care they that the coat buttons on the left side or the pocket flaps on one side are half as large again as on the other. Buttons and seams are often beneath their notice, and so they perpetuate monstrosities such as no man would or could wear, let alone any tailor make— London Tailor and Cutter. H e r Chef Froia^PsWilr. "An American woman," says the Boston Journal, "who lived In Paris was famous for her cook. Her dinners were popular and celebrated, and the conversation was largely a tribute to the chef. The day came when she should return to the United States. Could the cook be persuaded to go with her? 'What! Leave Paris? Neverr But she offered him a salary that was incredibly, preposterously high, and he went with her. "She had hardly settled her house when she gave a dinner party that she hoped would be sensational. Not one dish was fit to be eaten. The hostess, almost hysterical, after the gloomy meal was over rushed to the kitchen to find out whether the cook's art was a matter of Parisian atmosphere, and then, and only then, she discovered that her famous chef had never cooked a dinner for her In Paris; that he bad got it all from a world famous boulevard restaurant" d u r a * * t o C h a n c e a d o m r t e r .

Juliet's "What's in a name?" might be asked regarding the vessels of the British navy which have borne the names of reptiles. It is said that four Vipers have been wrecked, the last of the name but recently, and a Cobra t'town: still more lately has broken in two and gone to the bottom with officers and men. Also four Serpents, three Lizards, two Snakes, one Alligator, one Crocodile, one Rattlesnake, one Basilisk, and two Dragons—which are not reptiles—have at various times met with disaster. British tars, it is said, have a superstitious feeling of dislike against sailing in vessels bearing such names. Lucky or unlucky, the names are needlessly disagreeable. Italy and Austria have just agreed to take a step unprecedented in modern history. At the end of August the pope promulgated a Bull transferring from the administration of the Dalmatians to that of the Croatlans the charitable institutions known as St Jerome's, which has a capital of £80,- 000. The institution had belonged to the Dalmatians for five centuries. Much bitterness was created, and several serious conflicts occurred bstween people of the two nationalities. The question has now, happily, been solved, the two governments having agreed, after cordial negotiations, to establish the brevious condition of affairs and consider the papal bull as non-existent. President Harper, of the University of Chicago, recently received the following letter from a prospective girl student at Pecaton'ica, 111.: "Dear Mr. Harper—I know you will be pleased to learn that I have decided to attend the university "School of education this fall. 'I am going to Chicago next Saturday on the morning train, and as I have never been in the city before I would be glad if you would meet me at the station. I am five feet four inches tall, have light hair and eyes and a pleasing appearance. I shall wear a dark brown traveling skirt and a blue waist, with white yoke. I think I shall know you from your pictures, but for fear I make a mistake will you please wear youi card in your hat?" OWOMO Shocked. Owpsso citizens were shocked Saturday by a ease of depravity worthy of the slum of n great city, the discovery being uvide by a police officer who stumbled on It by mistake. Iu a Cass street flat one room was found to contain a dead baV, whose mother was doing her best .o attend to the care of a sick man, who lay on a squalid bed Iu another corner. The woman gave her name as Mary C. Johnson, and the man said he was John Reynolds. The woman does not claim to be married, but stoutly asserts that Reynolds was not the father of the child. The babe wiU be burled by tho id Reynotdtr and the woman will both receive competent core. Both the people are young and the girl strikingly handsome. They are not kuown here, although they have been living together in the flat for several mouths. Ex-Speaker Adami* Trial. Judge- Wiest has ruledthat the Cir* cult Court practice will not i>ennlt hin-j to summon a special jury at thU time for the trial of ex-Speaker Adams, which Is set for one week from Monday, as requested by the attorneys for the respondent. It Is prouable, however, that all the jurors on the present panel may be excused for cause when they are called to the jury box, all having been present during some portion of the rratt trial. This will necessitate tue summoning of talesmen, and will result practically iu the drawing.of a new jury.

Mr. Chamberlain ebiuplnlned of pains in the stomach and chest while oh the train, and upon his arrival in Chicago went immediately to the hotel. Dr. Bills feared, that -something serious might happen, so he arranged to sleep in the same room. The warden,was, still feeling badly and the doctor sent for some whisky for him. Mf. Chamberlain gasped and died a few minutes after taking It. The Wiseman Trial. The Pontlac court room was crowded Saturday nt the opening of Henry Wiseman's trial for the murder of Mrs. Ellen Huss. The most noticeable feature of the case Is the demeanor of Wiseman. He appears to bo on the verge of a breakdown In health, and viewed the witnesses, especially Robert Hale, with an air of wild fear. His attorney. William North. Is taking advantage of every possible, point to B»4«tord Elevator Buraetf. The Botsford grain elevator in Port Huron burned Monday night. During the progress of the Are, Chief Thorns of the • fire department had a leg broken while trying to save the office building of the elevator. It is thought he is internally injured. In the elevator were 270,000 bushels of groin, and for hours to come the fire will be smoldering. The elevator plant was valued at ¢110,000, and the entire loss is estimated at $250,000.

Recently Principal E. C. Mead had occasion' to whip a pupil and was informed by the school board that he had exceeded his rights. He appealed to County School Commissioner* Yost and was fully sustained In the action he had taken. The United States of America, the United States of Brazil, the United States of Mexico and the United Setates of Venezuela appear among the names of the countries represented at the Pan-American congress in Mexico. This shows how widely our federal plan of government as well as our style of naming it has been adopted in the New World. The use of the word "state" in this way has often been regarded as slightly inaccurate. The word state originally signified a body of people united under one government, whereas we use the term to describe one of the divisions of our country; but whatever rhetorical inaccuracy we may have committed has evidently been overwelghed, in the minds of our imitators, by the success of our "great experiment." Perhaps now that Eng!and has designated as "states'* the several parts of the .-ustralian commonwealth, the "Americanism" has become good English. Xevr V«e for Efrjr*. Mrs. Mary Miller, of-Fremont, and Adolph F. Roller figure la a romantic which will culminate in a wedding celebration.

Roller wrote and a mutual attachment was formed, which resulted in a proposal of marriage. Victim* of a Corn Hanker.

In Mayor Hart's inaugural address of January, 1900, "the most important requirement for the Boston public schools was pronounced to be that of "additional school accommodations." Since that time a special "Boston school house commission" has been created, with authority to spend $1,- 000,000 for new school houses the present year and $3,000,000 more within the next few years. The commission proposes to spend this money for "the best sanitary buildings that skill can devise," but as a means of providing temporary relief it has built fortythree* portable school houses of a type experimented with last year. These buildings are of wood and can be taken to pieces easily and moved. They are properly warmed, well lighted, and are often located in the yards of crowded school buildings, the sanitary arrange* menta of which are then available. They have not entirely-jjiaplaced rented room*, but they are regarded as generally eoperior to the latter both from the standpoint .of .economy and of tocommodellone. Mra.

"My ideal river la dim and deep and client," she said., "I have small love rfor gurgling, splashy streams." "Why. I don't know," he objected with wide tolerance, "the little fellows jnay nnt accomplish much.' but they work hard." "That is why I object to them. They •create such an atmosphere of wasted energies. As long as they are in sight •One has to keep thinking of every foolish fad she ever followed." "GOOD Lord!" he commented. "You •ought not to take nature so seriously. Rest assured she will never return the compliment." "No, that is true. She makes a joke •of us from the cradle to the grave." "I've often wondered," he said lazily, "what your ideal man is like. H*f must be a bird." "I-believe H was Plato who declared that the only difference between men «nd fowls lay in the cut Of their clothes, she remarked loftily. "Yes, Plato," he assented. "Rum old -chap, that. No end of sand. Wasn't it Thoreau who made the other distinction— about the way the knees bent?" "No, not Thoreau. Some friend of Ills made the distinction and he chronicled it," she corrected. "That so? I do remember something •about it now. How do you like Thoreau?" "Why, werK enough.

"Should think a thing like that would knock a pretty big hole in a man's life." He turned on his side and looked at her. "Queer thing, love, isn't it? All sorts of fashions, but the same thing." She nodded assent and quoted ab- Bently: " *As be Is the whole world over, was this Cupid in the clover/ " Then coming back to earth with a rush: "I've a picture of a river over my desk that this one reminds me of. It is a girl drifting out to sea In an old boat; the river is dim and deep with sedgy banks and the way the moon looks down on the desolate girl and the forsaken river is wonderfully suggestive. AU dead things together." "Oh, I say," he exclaimed, eittlng up, "don't say things like that. You make me wretched." "How absurd," she commented. "I dare say," he agreed, getting up and brushing off the clinging straws. "If this strikes you as so lugubrious, let's go elsewhere." "Not at all. I find this delightful." "A lot of dead things together?" "Oh, well, you will find that everywhere. Among the haunts of men it is dead hopes, impulses and energies, and in the by-ways of nature " "It's dead bug3 and beetles. I wish you wouldn't talk that way, I tell you it troubles me. People do not see death with their eyes unless there is sorrow in their hearts. It would hurt me more than I can tell you to think that you were unhappy." She locked at him for a moment with clear eyes. "Don't trouble yourself," she said, and smiled. "I'm not a stricken deer, yet" He sat down beside her. "I hope you never will be," he said after a long pause, "but you are bound to fall in love some day. You wouldn't have been given such glorious eyes unless It was intended that they should be lighted up. "Now, I wonder," she murmured thoughtfully, "it that could be called a compliment. "I object to ideals," he said; "they narrow one." "I wager you have lots of them," she ventured shrewdly. "Well, and if I have?" "You at least don't bore other peoplo with them, and I do." "You never bore me " "Now that is a compliment Do you know It it the first you have paid me In ten years?" "Would your ideal man pay compliments?" "Yea, I think to.

"Have you?" he questioned gently. She nodded slowly. "I hope you will be very happy," he said presently, then after waiting a moment for her to apeak, arose and walked away to the bank. The'girl watched him wistfully as he stood with his hands in his pockets staring down at the dim, deep water. Her lips parted once or twice but closed again in silence. "Well," he said, turning around with a smile, "we must not keep the ideal waiting. I had better take you home. Someday," he continued, extending a hand for uer assistance, "someday you will introduce him to me, will you not?" The girl put her hand into his and arose deliberately. "I think," she said carefully, "that you know him." "Do I?" "I think so. You are such a grave man I could scarcely believe that you would neglect the excellent advice that Cicero gives. Wasn't it Cicero who enlarged so upon the desirability of knowing one's self?" "Do you know what you are saying?" The flush leaped from the tips of her ears to spread over face and neck. She turned back and made an uncertain step toward the river only to find him in front of her. "Did you mean it?" "I wanted to have another look at the river," she explained with engaging frankness. "Perhaps you did. But you are going to tell me something first " "No; I'm not. Not a thing. I have told you too much already." "Very well, wo will have a look at the river; but first " "Please," she pleaded, drawing back against his detaining arm. He paused with his eyes close to hers.

The result continues the republican power In the state, making an epoch of 12 years In succession, and it ensures the re-election of Senator Foraker.

The republicans elect the auditor, sheriff, tax collector, treasurer, county clerk, public administrator and six supervisors. The democrats will have the balance of the city offices. The union labor party elected three supervisors. P e n n s y l v a n i a . The result in Pennsylvania is that Frank C. Harris, republican, has been elected treasurer over Elisha A. Corny.

The army has recently been completely reorganized and provided with new equipments. The Russian* unloaded 1,000,000 rifles of obsolete pattern upon the 'Chinese government and substituted new one* of long range, high power and small caliber. Those were Russian guns which the Boxers fired at the British embassy in Peldn during the recent siege. Russia has 22 first-class battleships, 12 armored cruisers, 11 first-class cruisers, and 196 torpedo boats. The lowest estimate of the peace strength of the.

This with Mr. Merrill's portrait were published in thousands of papers all over the United States. On the train returning home from Springfield one day last winter were the Honorable Mr. Merrill and several other members. After a time one of them said: "Merrill, what time do you get to Chillicothe?" Thi3 attracted the attention of an old man who had been apparently awaiting some identification of Mr. Merrill and as soon as he heard the name he rushed up to his seat and extending his hand said: "You are Alva Merrill and you saved my life. I was most dead with Lumbago and in an advertisement I saw your picture and your recommendation of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I knew your father, and I knew his son would not lie. and therefore I decided to try the Pills. "I am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney Pills and nothing else have saved my life and I have been waiting this opportunity to thank you personally, for had I not seen your recommendation I might never have been led to use this remedy, but, thanks to God, through your honest name and the honest medicine which you so heartily recommended I am still alive. "I have been watching you since you got on the train at Springfield and thought I recognized your face as the one I had seen in the advertisement, and at soon as this gentleman called you by name, I knew you were the man I had to thank." 1 1 1 1 i Cigar Trast Invades Oalov The American Cigar company, a trust organised under the laws of New Jersey, was qualified by Secretary of 8tate Laylin at Columbus, 0., to do business In Ohio.

At the extreme pitch of the cape a stupendous cliff rises sheer from the fretting waves for about a hundred feet. Then comes an Irregular plateau or shelf, of perhaps; two acres In area, the mountain rising again abruptly behind It to'a height of about 2,000 feet This plateau is apparently Inaccessible, and yet, perched upon a huge bowlder in its center, a mass of rock detached from the mountain ages ago, is a house. It if rudely built of wooden fragments ingeniously fitted together, but its outlines convey st once the Idea of its designer having been an Anglo-Saxon. About twenty-five years ago there was a young sailor who, by dint of hard work, integrity of character and firmness of will, reached at the age of - twenty-five, the summit of his ambition— becoming master of what would then be called a good sised steamship, some 000 tons register. Upon this accession to good fortune he married the girl of his choice, who had patiently waited for him since as boy and girl sweethearts they parted on his first going to sea. And with rare complacency his owners gave him the inestimable privilege of carrying his young bride to sea with him. How happy he wasl How deep and all embracing his pride, as, steaming down the grimy Thames, he explained to the light of his eyes all the wonders that she was now witnessing for the first time, but which he bad made familiar to her mind by his oft repeated sea stories during the few bright days between voyages that he had been able to devote to courtship!

One day In a London tobacconist's •hop Sandow, the strong man, was handed some change, and In the middle of it he saw something that looked like a bad shilling. He pushed it back across the counter. "I think that one is bad," he said. "Nonsense," said .the shopkeeper, with an incredulous air. He took np the shilling and tried it in the little brass coin tester that was screwed to the side of the counter. Then he tendered it again. "It's quite good," he said. "I can't bend It"" Sandow smiled and took it between his finger and thumb. "You can't bend Itl May I try?" be asked. "Certainly," said the man, with a grin. The strong man pressed the tip of hit forefinger toward the tip; ©t his thumb and the spurious com bent like tissue paper. "Well," said the tobacconist duro~ founded.

Then at Venice came orders to proceed to Galatz and load wheat for home. Great was the glee of the girl wife. She would see Constantinople and the Danube. Life would hardly be long enough to recount all the wonders of this most wonderful of wedding trips. And they sailed, with hearts overbrimming with joy as the blue sky above them seemed welling over with sunlight. Wind and weather favored them; nothing occurred to cast a shadow over their happiness until, nearing Cape Malea at that fatal hour of the morning, just before dawn, when more eolllsioos occur than at any other time, they were run Into by a blundering Greek steamer coming the other way, and cut down amidships to the water's edge. To their peaceful sleep or quiet appreciation of the night's silver splendors succeeded the overwhelming floed, the hiss and roar of escaping steam, the suffocating embrace of death. In that dread fight for life all perished but one—he so lately the happiest of men—the skipper. Instinctively clinging to a piece of wreckage, he had been washed ashore under Cape Malea at the ebbing of the scanty tide, and his strong physique, reasserting Itself, enabled him to climb those rugged battlements and reach the plateau. Here he was found gazing seaward by some goatherds, who. In nimble footed flecks, had wandered Cad wells, down the precipitous side of the moun-! tain. They endeavored to persuade! ^ " " ^ ^ him to coiue with them back to the world, but in vain. He would live, gratefully accepting some of their poor propJslon, but from that watching place he would not go. And those rude peasants, understanding something of his woe, sympathized with him so deeply that without payment or hope of any they helped him to build his hut and kept blm supplied with such poor morsels of food and drink as sufficed for his stunted needs. And there, with his gaze fixed during nil his waking hours upon that inscrutable depth wherein all his bright bop<* had been quenched, he lived until quite recent years, "the world fo*» getting, by tug'world forgot,* a living monument of constancy and patient, uncomplaining grief.

When he arrived on the ground again he was between the horses. Those who saw the affair thought he wonld be killed in the mix np but he came out with hardly a bruise and drove home.

I left the room when you did, but I only lingered on the stairs watching—if I may tell the truth—whether you go out safely, and then I returned to i t Tet, when 'Lady Sarah came up from dinner it was gone." "And did no one else go into the iroom?" he repeated. "I met a lady at >the door who asked for you; I sent her upstairs." { "She went in for a minute. It was my sister, Gerard." i "Oh, Indeed, wag that your sister? ,Then she counts as we do for nobody in this.. It is strange. The bracelet was in the room when I left It •* i "You are sure of it?" interrupted Alice drawing a long breath of suspense. "I am. When I reached the door I turned round to take a last look at you, and the diamonds of that particular bracelet gleamed at me from its place on the table." j "Oh, Gerard! is this the truth?!' I "It is the trnth, on my sacred word of honor," he replied, looking at her agitated face and wondering at her words. "Why else should I any it? Good-by, Alice, I can't "stay another" moment, for here's somebody coming I don't care to meet" . ' He was off like a shot, but his words and manner, like her sister's, had conreyed their conviction of innocence t o the mind of Alice. She stood atill, looking after him in her dreamy 'wonderment, and was Jostled by the 3>aa*er8-by. Which of the two was the -real delinquent? One of them must have been. leads—as did all the row of houses. The officer seemed to t a h a j n the points of the double room at a glance; the door of communication, its ttwo doors opening to the corridor outside* and its window*. He looked at t h a ^ latches of the two entrance doors, and he leaned from the front windows, and he leaned from the one at the back, He next requested to see Miss Seaton, and Lady* Sarah fetched her—a. deli* cate girl with transparent akin* end looking,almost too weak to walk. She was in a Visible tremor, and shook ae she stood before the stranger. He was a man of pleasant manners and speech, and he hastened to assure her: "There's nothing to be afraid of. young lady," said he, with a broad smile. "I'm not an ogre; though I do believe some timid folks look upon us as such. Just please to compose your* self and tell me as much a s you can' recollect of this." "I put the bracelets out here," began Alice Seaton, laying hold of the table underneath the window, not more to indicate it than to steady herself, for she was almost incapable of standing. "The diamond.bracelet, the one lost, I placed here," she added, touching the middle of the table %t the back, "and the rest I laid out round, and and before It." i*i)*<mS O* **** nmi'mm+limfrm'+m 11»fromdinner, how long vaf:i|f?

A little man was striding about his library with impatient steps. He wore a faded dressing gown, handsome once, but remarkably shabby now, and he wrapped it closely around him though the heat of the weather • • < . • • w a s intense. But Colonel Hope, large as were li& coirers, never spentupon { fet, and, not soolng it, I supposed Miss himself a superfluous farthing, especially in the way of personal adornment; and Colonel Hope would not 'have felt too warm, cased in sheepskins, for he had spent the best part of his life in India, and was of a chilly nature. The Colonel had that afternoon been made acquainted with an. unpleasant transaction which had occurred }n his house. The household termed it a mystery; he, a scandalous robbery; and he had written forthwith to the nearest chief police station, demanding that an officer might be dispatched heck with the messenger to investigate i t So there he was, waiting for his return in impatient expectation, and occasionally halting before the window to look out on the busy London world. The officer at length came and was introduced. The Colonel's wife, Lady Sarah, Joined him then, and they proceeded to give him the outlines of the case. A valuable diamond bracelet, recently presented to Lady Sarah by her husband, had disappeared in a singular manner. Miss Seaton, the companion to Lady Sarah, had temporary charge of the jewel box, and had brought it down the previous -evening, Thursday, this being Friday, to the back of the drawing room, and laid several pairs of bracelets out on the table ready for*Lady Sarah, who was going to the opera, to choose which she would wear when she came up from dinner. Lady Sarah chose a pair, and put herself, the rest back into the box, which Miss Seaton then locked and carried to its place upstairs. In the few minutes that the bracelets lay on the table the most valuable one, a diamond, disappeared from i t "I did not want this to be officially Investigated; at least, not so quickly," observed Lady Sarah to the officer. "The Colonel wrote for you quite against my wish." "And so have let the thief get clear off, and put up with the loss!" cried the Colonel. "Very fine, my lady." "You see," added her ladyship, explaining to the officer "Miss Seaton is a young lady of good family, not a common companion; a friend of mine, I may say. She is of feeble constitution, and this affair has so completely upset her that I fear she will be laid on a sick bed." "It won't be my fault if she is," reported the Colonel, "The loss of a •diamond bracelet, worth two or three hundred guineas, is not to be hushed tip. They are not to be bought every -day, Lady Sarah!" The officer was taken to the room -Whence the bracelet disappeared. It was a back drawing room, the folding doors between it and the front standing open|*ftd the back window, a Jarg* e n v i s a g i n g out upon some flat "It was worth more than any of the others, I believe/' interrupted the official. "Much more/' growled the Colonel. The officer nodded to himself, and Alice resumed: "I left the bracelets and went and sat down at one of the front windows " "With the intervening doors open, I presume." "Wide open, as they are now," said Alice, "and the other two doors shut Lady Sarah came up from dinner almost directly, and then the bracelet was not there." "Indeed! You are quite certain of that" "I am quite certain," lnterpohed Lady Sarah, "I looked for that brace- Seaton had not laid it out I put on the pair I wished to wear and placed the others in the box and saw Miss Seaton lock i t " "Then you did not miss the bracelet at that time?" questioned the officer. "I did not miss it in one sense, because I did not know it had been put out," returned her ladyship. "I saw it was not there." "But did you not miss It?" he asked. "I only reached the table as Lady Sarah was closing the lid of the box," she answered. "Lady Frances Chenevix had detained me in the front room." "My sister," explained Lady Sarah. "She is on a visit to me, and had come with me up from dinner." "You say you went and sat in the front room," resumed the officer to Alice, in a quicker tone than he had used previously. "Will you show where?" Alice did not stir; she only turned her head towards the front room, and pointed to a chair a little drawn away from the window. "In that chair," she said. "It stood as it stands now." The officer looked baffled. "You must have had the back room full in view from thence; both the door and the window." "Quite so," replied Alice. "If you will sit down in it, you will perceive that I had an uninterrupted view, and~ faced the doors of both rooms." "I perceive so from here. And you saw no one enter?" "No one did enter. It was impossible they could do so without my observing i t Had either of the doors been only quietly unlatched, I must have seen." "And* yet the bracelet vanished!" interposed Colonel Hope. "They must have been confounded deep whoever did it; but thieves are said to possess slight of hand." "They are clever enough for it, some of them," observed the officer. "Rascally villains. I should like to know how they accomplished this." "So should I," significantly returned the officer. "At present it appears to me incomprehensible." There was a pause. The officer seemed to muse; and Alice, happening to look up, saw his eyes stealthily studying her face. It did not tend to reassure her. Your servants are trustworthy; they have lived with you some time?" resumed the. officer, not apparently attaching much importance to what the answer might be. "Were they all escaped convicts, I don't see that it would throw light on this," retorted Colonel Hope. "If they came,into the room to steal the bracelet, Miss 8eaton must have seen them." •"Prom the time you put out the bracelets to t-at of the ladies coming' a magistrate and teatify {hat ah* her aelf, was the guilty person, it ceadd /scarcely have affected her more. Her cheeks grew white, her lips parted, and her eyes assumed a beseeching look of terror, l a d y Hope hastily pushed a chair behind her, and drew her down upon it. "Really, Alice, you are very foolish to allow yourself to be excited about nothing" she remonstrated; "you would have fallen on the floor in another minute. What harm is there in taking an oath—and in a private room? You are not a Chartist, or a Mormon—or whatever the people call themselves, who profess to, object to oaths, oh principle:" The officer's eyes were still keenly fixed on Alice Seaton's, and she cowered visibly beneath his gate. "Will you assure me, on your sacred word, that no person did enter the room?" he repeated, in a low, firm tone, -which-somehow carried her to the terrible belief that he believed that Bhe was trifling with him. She looked at him, gasped, and looked again; and then she raised her handkerchief in her hand and wiped her damp and ashy face. "I think some one did come in," whispered the officer in her ear; "try and recollect." And Alice fell back in hysterics. Lady Sarah led her from the room, herself speedily returning to it. "You see how weak and nervous Miss Seaton is," was her remark to the officer, but glancing at her husband. "She has been an invalid for years, and Is not strong like other people, I felt sure we should have a scene of some kind; that is why I wished the investigation not to be gone into hurriedly." "Don't you think there are-good grounds for an investigatlon,-sir?^-tes- •MOTMHit>*MlM*Nttf(jB BP 4*e«fcf Oifr for Oaert-CefcM, -*A| o«*ward vePUiQ»i|en^oty J| ehiijdtiou^ # m*w*i more effective than syrups, cough mixture, tw«?#jrt m , timj^ because It ^ pe^tr^ei^ «$ro^h ^ the >.**•<* cause, which 1*. u a rule, an accumn* lation, ft master ^growth tighter adhered to the broAjohiAl tubes. ."; : St 'Jacobs Oil possessing as it does those wonderful / penetrating powers, enables it to loosen, these adhesions and to induce, tree expectoration.

"I must confess I do think so," was the reply. "Of course, you hear, my lady. The difficulty is, how can we obtain the first clue to the mystery." "I do not suppose there will be an insurmountable difficulty," observed the officer. "I believe I have obtained one." "You are a clever fellow, then," cried the Colonel, "if you have obtained it here. What is it?" "Will Lady Sarah allow me to mention It-^-whatever it may be—without taking offense?" continued the officer, looking at her ladyship. She bowed her head, wondering much. "What's the good of standing upon ceremony?" peevishly put in Colonel Hope. "Her ladyship will be as glad as we shall be to get back her bracelet; more glad, one would think. A clue to the thief! Who can it have been?" The detective smiled. When men are as high in the police force as he, they have learned to give every word its due significance. "I did not say a clue to the thief, Colonel; I said a clue to the mystery." "Where's the difference?" * "Pardon me, it is indisputably perceptible. That the bracelet 1B gone, is a papable fact; but by whose hands it went, is as yet a mystery." "What do you suspect?" "I suspect," returned the officer, lowering his voice, "that Miss Seaton knows how it went" There was a silence of surprise; on Lady Sarah's part, of indignation. "Is it possible that you Buspect her?" uttered Colonel Hope. "No," said the officer, "I do not suspect herself; she appears not to be a suspicious person in any way; but I believe she knows who the delinquent Is, and that fear, or some other motive, keeps her silent Is she on familiar terms with any of the servants?" "But you cannot know what you are saying!" interrupted Lady Sarah. "Familiar with the servants! Miss Seaton is a gentlewoman, and has always moved in high society. Her family is little Inferior to mine, and betterbetter than the Colonel's," concluded her ladyship, determined to speak out (To be continued.)

MaJ. William L. Pitcher, of the Eighth Regiment of Infantry, commanding the Miud^ro expedition, reports that the garrison of Abra de Ilog was attacked Sunday by a force of insurgents commanded by Leuocos. The Filipinos apparently attempted to repeat the Samar tactics, but the Americans, who were breakfasting fully arm. ed, completely routed the insurgents, who left five men dead on the. field, each having a rifle and ammunition. One American was seriously wounded, l.'apt. Xoyes, of the Thirtieth Infantry, commanding a detachment of fifty men, has captured a. deserter named Richter^ of the Sixth Artillery, wearlug the* uniform of an insurgent lieutenant. • Maj.

What really happened was an onslaught' upon' Sir Michael Hicks- Beach,, the chancellor of the .exchequer, by nearly all his associates. Hal four joined Chamberlain and l^ord Salisbury, while L#ord Devonshire supiwi'ted both in condemning the speech of the chancellor which had sent d.Twn the price of consols with a rush. The Hicks-Beach financial administration and general proposals for carrying the additional burdens of the Boer wav were harshly criticised, and he was left almost alone, with all the strongest, men against him. Lord Londen- ' derry, Hicks-Beach's closest friend, intervened as a peacemaker over night, and a truce was arranged by him. T h e Shtntujr J e w e l * .

" A dollar!" exclaimed Mr. Bildad, pausing in his work of carving off the choicest b i t of porterhouse for himself.. " A dollar! W h a t on earth do yon want with a dollar? I gave you 75c day before yesterday. "What did yon do with t h a t ? " "Spent it," replied Mrs. Bildad. "Of coarse you spent it! You can't keep money. I wager yon spent it foolishly, too." "Perhaps I did, dear. I bought 6 yards Of 3c calico to make me a wrapper, and 2 pairs of 10c stookings for little Hen-y, and a ball of darning * twine and a spool of thread, aud a paper of needles, and a postage stamp to write to mother, and 5c handkerchief for Susan, and a pad of note paper to write letters on, and a bunch of envelopes. I t took 10c for car fare and I dropped a penny in the box of a poor blind man on the corner." "Um-m-m! Well I guess that's all right, but it seems to me that one pair of stockings would have been enough for H e n r y . " "But what would h e do while I was washing that—?" "Please'don't argue, Mrs1. Bildad. What do you want with a dollar?" " W e received notice today that our subscription to the Pinckney D I S P A T C H has expired, and I do so waut to keep it. I t is—" "Well we'll have to Jet it drop. Times are too hard to pay out a dollar a year for a paper." "But it, is such a good paper. I t keeps us posted on all the events of the town and county, and the children read it with pleasure." "Let 'em learn the news from me. I cau't afford to speud a dollar for newspapers now. Times are too hard. I don't take auy stock in teaching the children to read the village gossip and all that sort of things." " B u t the D I S P A T C H is such a clean paper and it is so newsy t h a t 1 do^want t h e children to read it. Besides I enjoy it BO much and so full of news that—" "There ain't no use talking, Mrs. Bildad. I can't afford it. We'll have to let it drop. That's the end of the matter now." Mrs. Bildad sighed and remained silent during the rest of the evening repast. Presently Mr. Bildad folded his napkin, shoved his chair back from the table and arose. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a 10c cigar and calmly lighted it. I t was his sixth for the day. Then he reiched for his hat, ".Where are you going, dear?" asked Mrs. Bildad. "Down town a little while. I'll be back early. D o n ' t bit u p for me." Then Mr. Bildad rode down town aud spent 5 hours and $1.75 playing billards. But, really, times were so hard he could not afford t o take a paper that was interesting and a benefit to his family. w. & T. y, Edited by **• W. 0. T U.ftf Pii*kM? i , * « H HE TEE qCIUT 8TEANGE1.

Back along the quiet streets to the old church-yard he went with rapid strides. At last he paused beside a newly-made grave—that John LedyarS wandered slowly of Nancy. His and disconsolately in *he s3m<>st^ete be bof«# 7¾¾ TXueovered deserted street. It was all over. Nancy, his long suffering wife, had passed beyond the reach of earthly trials and afflictions. How: getber wity their first l?orn. Uncle Sam will within a few weeks put a new coin in circulation, which will b e a departure from all rules and usages in American coin&ge.

I t ' hnt fl>vv r e m a i n e d has been nicknamed the "dough- John Ledynrd sat as if stunned vividly the past came back to him now. Nancy and he had been schoolmates in t h e old days. T h e youthful love had ripened when he led blushing Nancy to t h e alter. W h a t a glorious future had seemed to open before him. I t was t h e old story. T h e temptations; the first glass: the growing appetite; and finally the drunkard's curse. * O n e b y o n e o £ their three children had died through the workings of this same dread curse. Still the faithful wife clung to turn; ever laboring and ever hopeful: but now, she, too, was gone. 'With the feejing of despair came the desire t o drown ic all in drink. Quickening his pace be soon entered a saloon. Several glasses were drained, but such was the nervous excitement he was laboring n n d e r that the pain in his heart would not be stilled. While t h u s engaged, all eyes were attracted to a plainly dressed stranger who entered the room. Tall and erect was his bearing, and on his face an expression so kind, so mild, as scarcely to be mortal. B u t why was he h e r e ? Interfering with no one, he sat down quietly in a chair at one of the tables. I n answer to the waiter's inquiry,, he shook his head quietly, but firmly, and continued to sit there as lost in thought. Many were the strange speculations of the men as to whom he was, whence he came, and what was his mission. But still he s a t there, seemingly unconscious of the attention he was attracting. Men ceased their carousing to stare at him. At last, when there was a momentary hush in the room, he arose and mounting a table stood forfc moment looking upon his surroundings. Immediately every eye was fixed on him. Then with his face looking down upon the men like some messenger frotn the Omnipotent, he commenced the old song^ "Long, Long Ago." His voice was singularly rich and clear and as the mellow notes rose and fell, the crowd seemed to rise and fall with them. "Where are the friends that to me were so dear, Long, loug a«o, Ion?, long ago: Where are the hop s that my heart used to cheer, Long,long ago, loug ago. Friends that T loved in the grave are laid low. Hopes that I cherished t\ave fled from me now. I am degraded, for rum was my foe, Long, long ago, long ago. "Sadly my wife bowed her beautiful head, Long, long ago, long, long ago; Oh! how I wept when 1 found she was dead, Lonu', long ago, long ago. She was an angel, my love ant1 my pride, Vainly to save me from, ruin she tried. Podr, broken hearted, 'twas well that she died, Long,long ago, long ago. "Let me look bad. on the days of ray youth, Long, long ago, long, long ago; I was no stranger to vlrtuo and truth, Lcng, long ago, lorng ago, Ob, for the hopes that were pnre as the day, Oh, for the love that was purer than they, Oh, tor the hours that I've squandered away, Long, long *&o, long ago. When the last word died away, the stranger bent his head for a" moment in silent prayer. Tears stood in the eyes of many of the men as tney bowed their heads. Then, as quietly and unostentatiously as he had come, t h e Strang er glanced slowly around, stepped down and passed out. . One by one the men followed him until bead in long and'fervent .prayer, the first thai had escaped his lips since Nancy and he had knelt to- It was not easy to keep the vow he made that night. Many and long were the struggle's against temptation! and often when he was almost yielding came back the remembrance of the quiet stranger, and the words of the old song, which gave him new strength and courage. M Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, man—that is th«» order of a Woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, healtfh, is often ruined in the strenous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them.

Sitting up in bed, Rhe saw a rat eating the candle which stood In the chimney place. She aroused lier husband, who said sleepily: "My dear, there is no rat; It is conceit." "Very well, Mr. Beech, then it is con. ceit with four legs and a tall." Sleepy as be was, this witty speech drew my grandfather from his bed, and the rat's doom was sealed.

PIKOKKBY, • • MICHIGAN. x Wr After a woman succeeds In setting the wedding ring where she wants it she begins to Bay what she means. A bachelor says that love is a com* binatlon of diseases—an affection of the heart and an inflammation of the brain. There was a remarkable gathering at the funeral of Dr. J. S. Trexler, at KuUtown, Fa. Before his death he provided that every man attending his funeral should have a free dinner, and ~QraHs1^d¥sand persons ^valtedthemgelves of his offer at the two leading hotels, where arrangements had been made to feed the multitude. Harry Mangum and Jim Robinson, two colored men, disputed over a game of craps in Jackson, Tenn. Mangum drew a pistol and Robinson fled, pursued by the other. After Mangum had fired two shots he fell dead, from heartJjgere ou" the best of terms, she think disease. The intended victim is regarded with awe, and it 1B believed he was saved by a providential miracle. "Don't watch the clock," was Mr. Edison's advice to a young man who recently asked him how to succeed. Profoundly significant is that old joke about the laborer who left his pickax hanging in the air at the stroke of noon. A hanging pickax is the fittest emblem for a confirmed clock-watcher —and the pickax hangs always in the air, never digs out a path for him to advance upon. Earl Fitzwiliiam of England, who began his 87th year a few days ago, has sat forty-four years In the house of lords and received his training as a parliamentarian in the house of commons, which he entered sixty-five years ago as.a young man of 22. The earl, who is active in spite of his great age, has been for some years the oldest of the Knights of the Garter, which decoration he received from Lord Palmerston early in the '60s, and he is also in years the oldest knight companion, although he has not held that decoration as long as the Duke of Cambridge, who received his blue ribbon from William IV. When is a cigarette not a cigarette? When it is a pipe. The answer to the conundrum was given by English magistrates., The taking of a tobacco pipe into a certain mine was prohibited. A partly smoked cigarette was found in a workman's pocket. The man was arraigned and fined. The judges held that a paper charged with tobacco was a pipe within the meaning of the rule.. It was an instance of applied common sense. Human life is of more value than literal construction. The petty court was merely iU lustrating a working principle observed In tribunals of a more august organization and a larger jurisdiction. The American boy is ahead of the English boy, in the judgment of Sir Thomas Llpton, because he gets a better chance to show what is in him. In America the managers of large concerns are often very youthful. In England their youth would be a disqualification, since there a man must look old before he is thought to look wise. Sir Thomas believes that to be "a great error of policy in the affairs of a nation, a business firm or a family." He himself came to this country when he was fifteen years old. He declares his experience here "the best commercial training I ever had," and holds that "it would be a good thing to send every English boy to America when he is seventeen, and to keep him there for a couple of years." This is generous and even flattering to us, but Sir Thomas' countrymen may find a flaw in the argument, reasoning from their point of view—that after the English boy had been here two years they might not be able to get him back.

A party of placer miners just returned found very rich dirt Many claims have been staked out, but numerous parties art outfitting, and there will be a rush to locate all available ground In the district outlined and prospect for new placer ground. The gold discovery was made by a sheep herder employed by George Vandewalker, who picked up nuggets In a wash and filled a beer bottle with coarse gold* The Mexican continued herding sheep, meanwhile enrithlng himslef daily with gold.

When she returned her daugb> ter was awakened thy the shutting of the door. She awoke her husband and whispered to him: "Some one Is in the house." Przybysz reached under his pillow for his revolver, and when he saw a shadowy figure enter the bedroom door, he called out: "Who's there? Who's there?" The mother didn't answer Immediately aud Przybysz tired. The bullet struck the mother riaht under the left arm. an<i she dropped dead at the foot of the young couple's bed. * • * • Michigan** Ji*w cult***.

He learned the printer's trade in my office, when I owned the Petoskey Independent-Democrat. 1 can scarcely uelievo that lie is> in this serious trouble.

The report of the Tutted States lake survey engineers of the meim depth of the great lakes for the month of October shows that Lake Superior has gone down in one year almost half a foot; Lakes Michigan and Huron, about a little over one-tenth of a foot, and the two latter lakes have pained but a very small fraction over the deplh of 189«"), when tho water was very low over these lakes. Lake Eri« has also j?one down almost half a foot in a year, but has jrnined over half a foot from the low stajre of 185)5. The figures show that the lake levels am slowly but surely falling. The Chicago drainage canal is said to be partly responsible for the conditions of the lake levels, "and r.n investigation of this may be made. D e a r b o r n Postofllce R o b b e d . Early Saturday morning burglars blow up the safe in the Dearborn posrotttce and got away with something over ¢100 in money besides a considerable amount of stamps. It is supposed that entrance was obtained by lorcing the transom. The safe was given a heavy charge of dynamite or some other high explosive and, after the blasting had been done, the burglars hurried back, secured the valuables and disappeared. A number of roomers were sleeping over the postoffice, but none of them appeared on the scene In time to catch the safe blowers. « ' • V e r y Cold.

It was to be a grand secret; not a soul but members ... „_ _ _ , _ _ _ , _ . . of the society should know a word of m a ,M YirasF- * •ff^Sw zXT"9 m w " W I U ' ' At the close of the business meetffitNKSGMNG The good people of the church at Elmville had decided that something must be done, and at once. The treasurer, a young man, who had recently come to the village, had made a financial statement that October Sunday morning, upon which certain persons felt very much scandalized. Such a thing had never been done before— not even thought of; then it revealed the fact that the Reverend Wesley Norwood had received but $51.75 for six mor-ths of faithful service. "I don't believe in bringing up such matter in the religious services of tbe church," growled Brother Cook, who always protested that it was a waste of money to pay the minister so much salary. "I quite agree with you," responded Mr. Barnes. He was not a member of the church, but attended because it was a respectable thing to dc~-gave you standing. "If these things most come up every Sunday, I shall attend church elsewhere." Notwithstanding this, it was generally agreed that it was a shame, and something must be done. But when things had gone in a haphazard way so long it was no easy matter to face right about. After several weeks of deliberation, the necessary something seemed as far from accomplishment as ever. "It is too bad that they do not collect the pastor's salary," remarked Mrs. Hunter at the Ladies' Aid meeting. Who she meant by "they" was * "WHAT SHALL WE DO?" Hot entirely clear, inasmuch as she was one of the officers. - v "If no one else will do anything, we mutt," rejoined Mrs, Allen; the various members nodded approval. It was soon planned. The pastor had received |51.73; they would pay him $98.25—make, ft even $U0—and have enough left in the treasury for IncJdenUl matters. ... On Thursday evening of next week, which was Thanksgiving.they would Invite, tbemV selves to the parsonage, and havo a tag of the Toung People's League, the president made a close scrutiny to assure himself that all present were members; he then proposed that, as V.Th.^y would not do anything," the League take up the matter. "I understand that we have nearly slxt7 dollars iu the treasury; we could pay the pastor $48.50—bring the salary up to $100—and have enough left to pay all bills and begin the new year out of debt If we do this I suggest that we observe the utmost secrecy and make it a complete surprise." All readily agreed to the plan and pledged the proper reticence in the matter. Four of the most faithful met after prayer meeting to discuss the situation, and decided that they must at once collect $248.25, the balance necessary to- pay the six months' salary due. This they proceeded to do so quietly that no one surmised a general canvass was being made. Before Sunday the entire amount was secured. Friday, after school, the Junior Leaguers met and decided that inasmuch as the grown up folks would not help in the matter, they would do what they could; so they voted to pay over every bit there was in the treasury. Upon counting $23.25 was found to be the correct amount. "Oh, girls!" cried Lottie Newman, as she made some figures in the treasurer's book, "It will make just even $75 and I hope we can get enough to make it a hundred." After the choir had run over the Sunday hymns, someone proposed that they pay the proceeds of the Ian concert on the salary. Tha sum of $30.23; after referring to the margin of his anthem book, the chorister reported that it would make $82 all told. On Thanksgiving morning they would call at the parsonage and surprise the pastor with a check for this amount. Perhaps it would somewhat atone for the sin of whispering during the sermon. Thanksgiving day was a trying time for the Norwoods. The baby was sick the night before and kept them awake; and when they did get to rest, they overslept. What with rushing to get breakfast over and make ready for the service at church, prayers were shortened and the chapter omitted altogether. "Oh. Wesley. I am so tired! Everything has gone wrong today," said Mrs. Norwood that afternoon. "The children nsver were so naughty before. What will people say about Robbie fighting? The flour-barrel is empty, the potatoes are all gone, and we have not a thing in the house for breakfast, only bread and butter; and the grocer sent us word yesterday that we could not have another thing until we paid him. What shall we do?" After which lengthy and somewhat incoherent speech, she laid her head on his shoulder and found refuge in tears. "Never mind, Dear; the Lord will provide"; then he slowly added, as if la an afterthought "some way." A few minutes ?ater Pastor Norwood was bowing to the organist, who slipped a check in h a band and said properly, "With the compliments of the choir." Just as they were seated, the door bell rang a?ain, and this time the Junior League marched en masse and the astonished minister stood speechless with a check in either hand. Then the older League came, and presently the Ladies' Aid, and last of all the trustees, all adding their offerings and crowding the small rooms. Bach party looked ; stiffly askance at the others, wondering by what trickery their secret had become known. After an hour of discourse and song, the treasurer arose amd said: 4,A few c*3» ftiace our pastor had receiar**Htat* mere ptttaW* for many raontlfcs «t ftUibroi MM',^Whl!o he had wrought earnestly for the church and its societies, so that, for the first time in years, all were In a prosperous condition, he unselfishly forgot his own needs. No, no! Brother Norwood, you must permit me to finish. Then one society and anotber,by some strange coincidence, conceived the thought of giving the pastor a pleas* ant Thanksgiving surprise. It is needless to say that we have surprised each other quite as well. But best of mil, I find that in the few days of unconscious co-operation, we have increased the amount paid en salary to just five hundred dollars. This shows what we can do if we all work together. I move you as a congregation, that we increase our pastor's salary from six hundred to eight hundred dollars a year. It was carried with a rush, even Brother Cook assenting. Pastor Norwood arose, and with tears of Joy trickling down his cheeks, thanked * ttr^ fiHtea beti* fy jVtntftt* told *»* 4 Reformed ehurch inf New York that *tb* danger oif Mormontom t» underrated, not overrated. Wfce* the/ put* tic realties that then are two Kormon Churches In Brooklyn, one in Manhattan, one in Philadelphia, $ strong and growing Mormon settlement on tbe borders of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and that the strongest church in n section ofLmtte* from Jersey City Is Mormon, It may be understood that the situation Is menacing. It was predicted that in 00 years the Mormons' would control a belt of states cutting the country in two from northoast to southwest. The prediction has been verified In 20 years instead of 90. They own land from the Rocky Mountains to the, Sierras and are spreading east, as I 'have told you. They control four western states and at their present rate of progression in a number of others will soon have supremacy in them." p —mil ——^p^i „ • m»,<mm» Krttger'i 0*14^.

After .the war the general was sent to South America. He left the old horse at the farm, with orders that he should be kindly cared for. Returning after an absence of several years, the general reached home near night, and was for some time occupied in exchanging greetings with his family and friends. He did not, however, long neglect to inquire after the old horse. Learning that Spot was at pasture in a distant field, the general sent for him, and a little later was told that his favorite stood tied to a post at the - entrance of the grounds some distance away. The general hastened out onto the piasxa, whence, peering through, the evening, he saw the form of the old veteran who stood demurely gnawing at the post Just one word, Spot! rang out over the lawn. Like an echo came hack the answering neigh. With a snort and a bound the old charger snapped the halter, cleared the fence at a leap, and with arched neck and ears proudly erect he stood by the piasxa, where with Joyful whinny he laid his head on his master's breast Added the general: "We hugged and caressed each other like lovers, and I am not ashamed to say that no welcome I received that day warmed my heart more than that of old Bpot" ' *3 Bhsumatlsm and tbo Wym, x Chicago, 111., Nov. 18th.—Mr. R.

No modern architect would think of building a city upon so frail a foundation as a sponge seems to he, and yet the greatest city in tbe world, London, has no more secure a base. It is true the sponges are petrified and as hard as flint, but the fact remains just the same. The statement of course, requires a little explanation. The flint that forms the substratum of London soil is nothing but petrified sponges; if you examine the fossil sponge, or flint, with a glass you can see the structure of the animal. They are in layers. In the southeast of England the flint is found under the chalk beds, but in the Thames valley the water has gradually washed away the chalk and left the flint "As hard as flint" although perfectly correct sounds rather strange in the light o f the above facts.

Bland Jr. and wife spent Sunday with Mrs. B's parents. After giving up his work his decline was rapid and he soon was confined to his bed.

He was a faithful member and deacon of the Baptist church at Owosso, and the society will miss him in their social and religous worship. He knew for several months that there was no help for him and he was resigned to the will of God. Bis only thought seemed to be of others and their trials. He leaves a wife, father, mother brother and sister besides a host of friends to mourn the loss of a pleasant, loving companion. The flowers that were presented by the different societies from Owosso were the most beautiful ever seen in our village and spoke of the esteem in which he was held by those who knew him best About twenty of his friends came from Owosso to pay their last respects to him they loved so well, the Baptist church, the Ladies Aid, the factory, the lodge of Foresters to which he belonged all were represented at his funeral.

It is queer how ironclad Is the hold of convention and conventional considerations. They have a tighter grip and a wider influence than law, reason, sentiment or ethics itself. A woman whose marriage may be termed mediumly successful admitted candidly not long ago that at the very last moment never, never would she have marrka ber husband bad it not been for the thought of all the conventional considerations Involved. "On the way to our wedding," said the woman, "we had the most awful kind of a row that made me vow inwardly never, never to marry him.

To Dwarf To dwarf trees as the Chinese do yon most follow their methods. They take a young plant, say a seedling or a cotting of cedar when two or three Inches high, cot off Its taproot as soon as it has enough other rootlets to live upon and replant it in a shallow pot or pan, allowing the end of the taproot to rest upon the bottom of the pan. Alluvial clay molded to the size of beans and ]UBt sufficient in quantity to furnish a scanty nourishment is then put Into the pot Water, heat and light are permitted on the same basis. The Chinese also ose various mechanical contrivances to promote symmetry of growth. As, owing to. the shallow pots, both top and roots are easily accessible, the gardener uses the pruning knife and the searing Iron freely, so that the little tree, hemmed on every side, eventually gives up the unequal struggle and, contenting itself with the little life left, grows just enough to live and look welL Great Memories.

The ca-^e was a hotly contested one Eminent attorneys were employed on either side and all the resources of the law called into effect by tbe defense to avert the verdict that seemed inevitable in the minds of the people. ^a<^4ay-ibj^courtj:oojn_was densely packed by people from all parts of the county and the most intense interest manifested. It has probably been years since a case has attra cted such universal interest. Prosecutor Shields and Sheriff Finley have been indefatigable in their efforts in the case and deserve great praise at the hands of the people. Their work on the case in this locality was devoid of any bitterness of spirit toward the accused and was simply in the line of duty. The witnesses on ooth sides generally manifested a spirit of fairness which was both noti ceable and commendable. Great efforts were made By tbe defense to throw discredit on the work of Drs. Sigler and Swartz but it fell on dull ears and was a disastrous thing to attempt in a community where these gentlemen are so well known and enjoy an enviable reputation for professional skill and integrity of character. The advent of medical lawyers or "experts," J^aj^ an innovation to court attendants~ln 1MB county. Capable men can easily lose character and professional standing unless tbwy exercise great care and caution in giving this kind of evidence. The verdict of the Jury gives universal satisfaction in this locality where the deceased was so w^ll known and while much indignation is felt at th« effort made by tbe defense to besmirch bis character for, sobriety; nearly all join in tbe wish tbat this terrible lesson may have a good efiect in shaping the future career of the defendent and tbat the Judical mind may be tempered with mercy.

"Maiam." said the officer 'Von must «0 aware that in an investigation of tUs nature, we are compelled to put ejHstions which we do not expect to fee answered in the affirmative. Colonel will understand what I mean I amy that we call them 'feelers.' I did not expect to hear that Miss flsnrrm had been on familiar terms with your servants (though it might Jtave been), but that question, being disposed of, wfll lead me to another. I inspect that some one did enter the 900m and make free with the bracelet, and that Mies* Seaton must have been <*gsJs*nt of i t If a common thief, or ma. absolute stranger, she would have the first to give the alarm; if on toe familiar terms with the servants she would be as little likely to screen them. So we come to the question—who could it have been?" "May I inquire why you suspect Miss Seaton?" coldly demanded Lady Sarah. "Entirely from her manner; from the agitation she displays." "Most young ladles, particularly in oar class of life, would betray agitation at being brought face to face with a police officer," urged Lady Sarah. "My lady," he returned, "we are keen, experienced men; and we should not be fit for the office we hold if we were not We generally do find lady witnesses betray uneasiness, when first exposed to our questions, but in a very short time; often in a few moments, ft wears off, and they grow gradually easy. It was not so with Miss Seaton. Her agitation excessive at first, increased visibly, and it ended as you saw. I did not think it agitation of «nllt, but I did think it that of conscious fear. And look at the related facte; that she laid the bracelets there, never left them, no one came in, and yet the most valuable one vanished. We have many extraordinary tales brought before us, but not quite so • extraordinary as that." CHAPTER VIII. The Colonel nodded approbation; Lady Sarah began to feel uncomfortable. —"I should Tike to know whether any called whilst you were at dinner," the officer. "Can I see the man attends to the hall door?" "Thomas attends to that," said the Cotoeel, ringing the bell. "There is a side door, bat that is only for the servants and tradespeople." "I heard Thomas say that Sir George Dan vers called while you were at dinobserved Lady Sarah. "No one And Sir George did not go upstairs." The detective smiled. **If he.had, my lady, it would have made the case no clearer." "Hie," laughed Lady Sarah, "poor •eld Sir George would be pussled what •to do with a diamond bracelet." '"Will you tell me," said the officer, -wheeling sharply around upon Thomas wrhen he entered, "who it was that called here yesterday evening while year master was at dinner? I do not mean Sir George Dan vers; the other one." Thomas visibly hesitated; and that was sufficient for the lynx-eyed officer. the the Alice came back leaning on arm of Lady Frances Cbenevlx; latter having been dying with curiosity to come in beiore. "So the mystery is out, ma'am," began the Colonel to Miss Seaton; "it appears this gentleman was right and that somebody did come in; and that somebody the rebellious Mr. Gerard Hope." Alice was prepared for, this, for Thomas had told her Mr. Gerard's visit was known; and She was not so agitated as before. It was the fear of its being found out, the having to conceal it, which had troubled her. "It is not possible that Gerard can have taken the bracelet," uttered Lady Sarah. "No^ it is not possible," replied Alice. "And that is why I was unwilling to mention his having come up." "What did he come for?" thundered the Colonel. ifrii.niiHiiijin.rnn.^ nu. .1111111 11'HI ;i;j,Mi»| «*nd ru go with you and prefer the ^ T m e t * i * ^ ; e o ^ T e i that I do;-answerea Gerard, forwhatever pttfatta I nay have got into in the way of debt and carelessness, I have not gone Into crime," "You are accused, sir/' said the officer, "of stealing a diamond bracelet" "Hey! "s uttered Gerard, a flash , of intelligence rising to his face as he glanced at Alice. "I might have guessed it was the bracelet affair, if I had had my recollection aboutme." "Oh, oh," triumphed the colonel tn sneering Jocularity, "so yon expected it was the bracelet, did you? w*e shall have it all out presently" "I heard of the bracelet's disappearance," said Mr. Hope. "I met Miss Seaton when she was out this morning and she told me it was gone." "Better make no admissions," whispered the officer in his ear. "They may be used against you." "Whatever admissions I may make, you are at liberty to use them, for they are truth," haughtily returned Gerard. "Is It possible that you do suspect me of taking the bracelet, or la this a joker' "Allow me to explain/' panted Alice, stepping forward. "I—I—did not accuse you, Mr. Hope; I would not have mentioned your name in connection "Nobodycalled but Sir George, sir," Ihe presently said. The detective stood before the man staring him full in the face with a look of amusement. "Think again, my man," quoth he. *Tak6 your time. There was some one -else." The Colonel fell into an explosion; reproaching the unfortunate Tbomas with having eaten his bread for five years, to turn around upon the house and its master at last, and act the part of a deceitful, conniving wretch, and let in that swindler- "He's not a swindler, sir," interrupted Thomas. "Oh, no, not a swindler." roared the Colonel, "'he only steals diamond Bracelets." "No more than I steal 'em, sir," again spoke Thomas. "He's not capable, sir. It was Mr. Gerard." The Colonel was struck speechless; his rage vanished and down he sat in a chair, staring at Thomas. Lady Sarah colored with surprise. "Now, my man," cried the officer, why could you not have said it was Mr. Gerard V "Because Mr. Gerard asked me not to say he had been, sir; he is not friendly here just now, and I promised him I Would not. And I'm sorry to have had to break my word." "Who is Mr. Gerard, pray?" "He is my nephew," interposed the ^checkmated Colonel. "Gerard Hope." "But as Thomas says, he is no swindler," remarked Lady Sarah; "he is no thief. You may go. Thomas." *No, sir," stormed the. Colonel. "fetch Miss Seaton here first. I'll came to the bottom of this. If he has done it Lady Sarah. I will bring htm »lo trial, though he is Oerard Mope." "It was net an intentional visit. I believe he only followed the impulse of the moment He saw me at the front window, and Thomas, it appears was at the door, and he ran up." "I think you might have said so, Alice," observed Lady Sarah, in a stiff tone. "Knowing he had been forbidden the house, I did not wish to bring him under the Colonel's displeasure," was all the excuse Alice could offer. "It was not my place to inform against him.1' "I presume he approached sufficiently near the bracelets to touch them, had he wished?" observed the officer, who, of course, had now made up his mind upon the business—and upon the thief. "Ye—s," returned Alice, wiBhing she could have said no. "Did you notice the bracelet there after he was gone?" "I cannot say I did. I followed him from the room when he left, and then I went into the front room, so that I had no opportunity of observing." "The doubt is solved," was the mental comment of the detective officer. —Tne-eotonelrlroT" and~ Tiasty, sent several servants various ways in search of Gerard Hope, and he -was speedily found and brought. A tall and powerful young man. very goodlooking. "Take him into custody, officer!" was the Colonel's impetuous command. "Hands off, Mr. Officer—if you are an officer!" cried Gerard, in the first shock of surprise, as he glanced at the gentlemanly appearance of the other, who wore plain clothes, "you shall not touch me unless you can show legal authority. This is a shameful trick. Colonel—excuse me—but as I owe nothing to you, I do not see that you have any such power over me." The group would have made a fine study; especially Gerard; his head thrown back in defiance, and looking angrily at everybody. "Did you hear me?" cried the Colonel. "I must do my duty," said the police officer, approaching Gerard; "and for authority—you need not suppose I should act, If without it." "Allow me to understand, first/' rewith it, because I am sure you are innocent; but when it was discovered that you had been here I could not deny it." "The charging me with having-taken it is absurdly preposterous"' exclaimed Gerard, looking first at his uncle and then at the officer. "Who accuses me?" ' "I do," said the colonel. "Then I am very sorry it is not somebody else instead of you, sir/' "Explain. Why?" "Because they would get a kindly horsewhipping. "Gerard,' interrupted Lady Sarah, "do not treat it in that light way. If you did take it say so and) you shall be forgiven. I am sure you must have been put to it terribly hard; only confess it and the matter shall be hushed up/' "No, it sha'n't, my lady!" cried the colonel. "I will not have him encouraged— I mean felony compounded." "It shall," returned Lady Sarah, "It shall indeed. The bracelet was mine, and I have a right to do as I please. Believe me, Gerard, I will put up with the loss without a murmur, only confess, and let the worry be done with." marked Gerard, haughtily, eluding the officer. "What is it for? What is the sum total?" "Two hundred and fifty pounds!" growled the colonel. "But if you are thinking to compromise It in that way, young sir, you will find yourself mistaken." "Oh, no fear," retorted Gerard. "I have not two hundred and fifty pence. Let me see; it must be Dobbs. A hun.- dred and sixty—how on earth do they slide the express up? I did it, sir, to oblige a friend." "The duece you did!" exchoed the colonel, who but little understood the speech, -except the last sentence. "If ever I saw such a cool villain in all my experience!" "He was awful hard up," went on Gerard, "as bad as I am now. and I din it. I don't deny having done such things on my own account, but from this particular one I did not benefit a shilling." CHAPTER IX. His cool assurance and his words struck them with consternation. "Dobbs said he'd take care I should be put to no inconvenienve—and this comes of it! That's trusting your friend. He vowed to me, this very week, that he had provided for the bill." "He thinks it only an affair of debt," screamed Lady Prances Chenevix. "Oh, Gerard! what a relief! We thought you were confessing." "You are not arrested for debt, sir," cried the officer, "but for felony." "For felony!" uttered Gerard Hope. "Oh, indeed. Could you not make it murder?" he added, sarcastically. "Off with him to. Marlborough street, otflccr!" cried the exasperated colonel, Gerard Hope looked at her; little trace of shame was there in his countenance. "Lady Sarah," he asked, in a deep tone, "can you indeed deem me capable of taking your bracelet?" "The bracelet was there, sir, and it went, and you can't deny it!" uttered the colonel. "It was there, fast enough," answered Gerard. "I, held it in my hand for two or three minutes, and was talking to Miss Seaton about it. I was wishing it was mine, and saying what I should do with it." "Oh, Mr. Hope, pray say no more," involuntarily interrupted Alice. "You will make appearances worse." "What do you want to screen him for?" impetuously broke out the colonel, turning upon Alice. "Let him say what he was going to say." "I do not know why I should not say it," Gerard Hope answered, in, it must be thought, a spirit of bravado or recklessness, which he disdained to check. 'I said I should spout It." "You'll send off to every pawnshop in the metropolis, before the night's over, Mr. Officer!" cried the choking colonel, breathless with rage. "This beats brass." "But I did not take it any more for having said that," put in Gerard, in a graver tone. "The remark might have been made by any one, from a duke downwards, if reduced to his last shifts, as I am. I said if it were mine; I did not say I would steal to do it. Nor did I." "I saw him put it down again," said Alice Seaton, in a calm, steady voice. "Allow me to speak a word, colonel," resumed Lady Sarah, interrupting something her husband was about to say. "Gerard, I cannot believe you guilty; but consider the circumstances. The bracelet was there; you acknowledge it; Miss Seaton left the apartment when you did, and went into the front room; yet when I came up from dinner, it was there no longer." The colonel would speak. "3o it lies between you and Miss Seaton," he put in. "Perhaps you would like to make believe she appropriated it." "No," answered Gerard, with flashing eye. "She cannot be doubted. I would rather take the guilt upon myself than allow her to be suspected. Believe me, Lady Sarah, we are both innocent."

These two little communities never exchanged calls., but lived and prospered in happy exclusion. The going out of the ice from the lake last spring, was followed by an almost unprecedented rise of water, and the two marshes in Spencer hay. the larger one and the little one, were completely covered. Now, the muskrats did not mind the flood a bit. Driven from one bote, they sought another further back, and when there weren't any more holes these, happy-go-iucky vagrants set up housekeeping in huge piles of driftwood, never, losing a meal 6^ a wink of 8leep7 But with the beaver it was different. These industrious property owners suffered severely, and When the waters of Moosenead lake at last receded the ruins of the beaver's lodges went with them. /The beavers did not sit and sulk, neither did they for a- moment think of building again on the same old site. They'sought higher ground, where the floods of another spring could not reach them, and so it came about one fine morning when ,tue tauskra.ts came down onto the marsh to play they found the beaver there before them. It was a large marsh, as has been stated before, but it was not large enougn for both muskrat and beaver. War was at once declared, and *fee war ended in the breaking up of the muskrat colony and the scat* Spencer bay. Two miles from the marsh and on the. farther side of the hay was a clump of poplar trass, which the heaver selected ss the heat material available for their new hymes. All day and all night they sawed, until fluaHy they had floating in the lake and compactly rafted several buiulred logs Jost the right length and thickness for up-to-date beaver houses. And then the troubles of these/ busy but unscrupulous little builders began. They could not even stir the raft of logs from shore, to say nothing of towing It two miles across Spencer bay to the marsh. Every: beaver in the colony was summoned to the task. Young and old, big and little, weak and strong, tbey pushed and pulled, but they could not budge that raft of timber. Then the" head" of^tnerbeaver colony called the other beavers together on the raft and laid before them this remarkable proposition: If the muskrats would lend a helping hand and tow that raft up Spencer bay they (the beaver) would permit them, to return t o t h e big marsh, yrhere they might live without fear of molestation. The rest of the beavers agreed, and the muskrats,. when appealed to, also agreed. And the following morning, before the waters of the bay roughed up, the deer and the squirrels and the gulls beheld with amazement, beavers and muskrats, shoulder to shoulder, pushing a raft of logs.before them up Spencer bay. The houses are built, and the beaver are in them. And all about are muskrat holes, and muskrats in them, too. And beaver and rat, who are at war. everywhere else in Northern Maine, are living together in peace on the big marsh at the'head of Spencer bay.—Boston Herald. A T5ah of J+ ftfcft "Some peculiar conditions prevail at the twin cities of Nogales. Mex., and Nogalee, Ariz.," said a Detroiter who recently returned from a visit to Mexico. "The international boundary line is formed by a street that divides the two towns, and the boundary stakes are set out with a very nice regard for technicalities. There is a saloon there which has more than a local reputation, and the proprietor is certainly an enterprising individual. His saloon is located on the street that divides the two countries, and at a point where the dividing line 1B not clearly defined. The patron of this saloon buys his drink in America, and, stepping aoroes the hall, he buys his oigar in Mexleo. In this way the proprietor avoids the duty on imported cigars, and can provide his customers, with the best make at lower prices than most of his competitors. "They tell an amusing story about an American who imbibed too much fighting whisky at this saloon. When he arrived at a certain stage he allowed his prejudices to get the better of him, and, standing near the boundary line of his own country, he heaped anathemas and hurled defiance at the people across the border. A couple of Mexican officers stood across the street,, almost within reach of the pugnacious American, hoping that he would stroll across into Mexico. He did get over there after a while, although the trip was wholly unpremeditated. During a harangue against Mexican institutions in general and the police in particular, he happened to lurch too far over to starboard and felLinto Mexico, The alert cops promptly grabbed him, and, though he didn't get a chance to take in the sights,.he paid quite an extended visit to the country he had so eloquently maligned." A Story ef Danae. Danae was a character in Greek mythology, the daughter of , Acrisius, King of Argos, one of the kingdoms of Greece in the days of Homer. An oracle had announced that she would one day give.birth to a son who should kill his grandfather. Acrisius for safety's sake shut her up in a dungeon, where nevertheless she was visited by (he god Jupiter, in a shower of gold, and became the mother of Perseus. Acrisius next put both the mother and child into a chest and exposed them to the sea. The chest, however, drifted ashore on the island of Seriphos, and Danae and her child were saved. She remained on the* island until Perseus had grown up and became a hero, famous for his exploits; afterwards she accompanied him to Argos. On his arrival, Acrisius .fled, but was subsequently slain accidentally by Perseua at Larissa.—Montreal Herald and Star.

During the last ten or twelve years cotton mills, woolen mills, silk mills and factories of all kinds have sprung up in Russia. There is* one cotton -mill near Moscow at which 16.000 people are employed. It is run by electricity and is said to have one of the most perfect plants ever set up. A party of Massachusetts manufacturers have been over this summer to Inspect It, and they say it surpasses anything they hare ever seen. There are other mills of large extent, for when a Russian goes in for anything he likes to be expansive. At one time the people of Russia used nothing hut prints and sheetings from Mancdesfcr. ,.Then cheaper Oarman goods came in for awhile, and, with the careful pains which the German- manufacturers ajwaya take to please their* cus&meri, they" were mare .closely adapted( to Russian tastes and requirements, and heace they soon supplanted the English fabrics entirely.

The government encouraged him to undertake manufacturing enterprises. Men and machinery were brought from England. At first all the foremen and engineers were English, but the Germans, who will work for lower wages, gradually elbowed them out and the government started technical schools for the education of its own people to handle machinery and engines. This work of training is going on very rapidly.

We once knew a farmer, s a y s a western exchange, who was in a general way, a man of more than average intelligence, who laughed at the folly of h i s neighbors in raising potatoes for home use. H e had no time to fool away raisi n g potatoes. H e raised 5,000 or 10,000 busliels of wheat a year and bought his potatoes, etc., from those whose time was not as valuable as his. I n fact about the only thing which grew on his 640 sere farm, aside from wheat, was a mortgage, and the mortgage finally got the best of him, while his neighbors, who sold him potatoes, eggs, butter, etc., almost without exception got rid of mo:tgages. Alabama's Capitals. When Alabama was a territory Its capital was at St Stephens. In Washington county. The convention that framed the constitution under which it was admitted into the Union was held In Huntsville, where the first legislature met in October. 1819. and the first governor was inaugurated. Cahaba became the seat of government in 1820. In 1S23 the capital was removed to Tuscaloosa, and in 1846 It was again removed, this time to Montgomery.

Bed tie, or red In combination with yellow, blue and green, are the best Blue by Itself Is quits valueless,* tnd the green opal ia not of great value unless the color is very vivid and the pattern very good. The color must be Jrue—that is to say, it must not run to streaks or patches, alternating with a colorless or inferior quality. Pattern is described as being an important factor, the several varieties beknown as "pin. Are" when the grain is very small, "harlequin" when the color Is all in small squares, the more regular the better, an<J the "flash fire" or "flash opal" when the color shows as a single flash or in very large pattern. Harlequin Is the most common and is also popularly considered the most beautiful. When the squares of color are regular and show as distinct, minute checks of red, yellow, blue and green, it is considered magnificent. Some stones show better on edge than on top. AM Object Lesson to Grant. This story Is told of the first time Grant ever had charge of a large body of men sent out to give battle. He was colonel In the early part of 1862» detailed to go to the relief of an Illinois regiment, supposed to be surrounded by Confederates at Palmyra, Mo., but when be arrived the regiment had relieved itself by retiring. Grant then went out to Florida, in the same state, and as the regiment tolled over the hill beyond which the enemy was supposed to be in waiting Grant says be would have "given anything to be back again in Illinois." At the top of the hill, instead of troops drawn up in battle array, Grant saw a deserted camp. "It occurred to me at once that Harris had been as much afraid of me as I had been of him," said Grant "From that event to the close of the war I never experienced trepidation upon confrontlng^an enemy, though I always felt more or less anxiety. I never forgot that he had as much reason to fear my forces as 1 had his."—Syracuse Post-Standard. At S e c o n d H a n d .

"What will soften it?" asked the anxious laird. "Ocli. just whusky!" said Donald. A tumbler of whisky was at once brought, which Douald Immediately drank. "You rascal!" said the laird.

A member of a party who made an ascent of Finsterrehorn some years ago thus described a novel sight which delighted the tired climbers: The day we mounted the Finsterrehorn we were treated to the rare sight of a circular rainbow, the phenomenon lasting nearly half an hour nd forming a complete circle.

Koanjgsvlias printed a sketch of a general theory of mechanisms. Every machine consist* of annmber of material bodies, resistances, Joined together reciprocally, upon which.natural forces act to produce a desired effect and the effect may be either a state of rest or one of motto*. The reflating bodies and their connections are the mechanism. Its effect Is not known until we define the acting forces. The same machine will produce different effects according as different forces play upon it Machines are subject to three effects— static when the forces produce equilibrium; kinetic when the result is motion, and. finally, dissociative when the connections of the machine are changed. The latter effect, is usually not considered, but it is essential to take it into account A machine could not be built, in the Urst place, unless it was capable of dissociation. In some machines—locks, for instance—tUe parts are • dissociated every time the apparatus operates. It is desirable to design most machines, however, so that the dissociative effects do not come Into play during their operation. Beware of the_Cold Bath.

He captured 18 miles of new trout nets belonging to the A. Booth Co., of Chicago, and valued at $10,000. He has thus antagonized the fish trust, and big legal events are expected to follow. The nets were found, in Michigan water, the trust having set them there contrary to Michigan law, and in direct defiance of the game warden and his cruiser, Dornbos. The tug Harrow, belonging to the Booth company, was American Girl* Sold. A London cable dispatch says: English detectives acknowledge their inability to stop the wholesale traffic in young girls carried on by agents in again sighted, but the expected battle did not materialize. Brewster will cruise with a big force of deputies fully armed in case Booth decides to have his trigs and crews interfere. Thursday, 5,000 pounds of fish were Confiscated and stored in the hold of the boat. The tug Edwards, which was surrendered, is .now the property of the warden; The tug Ferry, which surrendered Monday, returned to St. Joe for the first time Thursday. Deputy Brewster was informed by Game Warden Morse by wire that Illinois has a closed season on. all excepting rough fish, from Oct. 15 until Nov. 30.

He was asked If he bad eie* paid bis bondsmen. He replied that he bad paid a portion of the $16,000. He was asked if he wasn't at present building a new house, He said be was. Then Ward fired the question as to why he didn't pay back his bondsmen instead of building a house. He replied that he bought the house1 through a building and loan association. The mayor then went on bitterly to say that he would get square with Gariuan and Cameron when they got to New York, and that the federal authorities would look after them. Few thought that Prosecutor Ward would drag aside the veil from the mayor's dark past, but he did it coldly and deliberately, If not with a degree of refined brutality. While the mayor, previous to the ripping aside of the veil, had been flippant and caustic and 4uelmed to be ironical and sarcastk; in hla remarks, when the veil fell ho wilted. An Ex el aatve Party.

The Increase in the number of cases of smallpox among the Indians on the northwest reservations is becoming alarming, as the disease# is rapidly spreading among the whites. Secretary Hitchcock has received a telegram froui (Jov.

The Indians refuse to obey the quarantine regulations, and a great many of them refused to submit to vaccination. The death rate among the afflicted has been 00 per cent. This same condition exists in a simller degree at all of the northwestern reservations. The Indians even refuse medicine from white men. The Yukon Fairy Ttile. This comes from Vancouver, B.

(Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story gub. Co.) Wun Sock leaned oyer the hearth and drew with his bow a melancholy tune out of an old violin. Again and again he drew the bow across the instrument, holding a particularly deep note, bending forward slightly and looking IntenUy at ft »P"t on the_ most indiscernlbly, first its head, then hearth. The room was dimly lighted by a tallow dip. Weird enough were the surroundings—the figures of dragons on the walls, Joss perched on a shelf, the giant shadows cast by the flickering light—without the accompaniment of unearthly music. Twenty minutes, half an hour, forty minutes, and then, with an exclamation of Chinese disgust, he laid the violin down, took up a large cork from the shelf, fitted it in a hole in the hearth and blew out the tallow dip, and, after a few puffs at the resistless pipe, threw himself on his cot and slept A few minutes later Chip In opened the door of the little Joint and tiptoed ' softly in. Lighting the tallow dip and seeing the violin lying there, he began ' where Wun Sock left off, first taking the cork out of the hole in the hearth. From the hole emerged an object— • Chip In drew forth the same monotonous tune, even more dismally than his predecessor. Twenty minutes, half - and hour, forty minutes, and then, with an execration, he repeated Wun Book's actions, throwing himself on the cot next to his worthy contemporary, while that gentleman emitted a snort which may have signified groin displeasure at the confusion aroused by Chip In, or intense confusion at some hallucination superinduced by the pipe. While Wun Sock wag muttering incoherent monosyllables to himself, in •talkel Sip Gin, and, Judging from his v wavering gait and the .reverse position of hit hat, he had been a partaker of $ the cup that inebriate* but does not inevitably cheer.' He made hit w*y unsteadily over the hearth by the light of the street lamp, and looked about t» a bleared sort of way, accidentally ' touching the violin with his hand^ lahe drew the bow across the strings and long he held the monotonous tone with the tenacious bow, playing, however, with somewhat more feeling than the others. The light from the street lamps shone dimly through the little square panes of glass to the hole in the hearth. Sip watched closely with only the aid of this. The violin continued to wail and moan. Then from the hole emerged an object, moving alneck, and finally writhing its whole form out upon the hearth, standing erect and almost touching Sip Gin with Its nose—a cobra of immense size. Sip continued to draw the bow as imperceptibly as possible. Suddenly, with a movement as quick as the flash of a sabre, he dropped both bow and violin and grabbed the reptile just behind the head. With a shriek he awoke Wun Sock and Chip In, while the struggles of the infuriated monster, together with Sip's already too unsteady head, nearly carried that gentleman off his balance. A light being produced, he regained, his equilibrium, while his compartlots uttered exclamations of intense gratification at the victorious although somewhat inebriated Sip. In his rage the serpent's head was flattened out, resembling a hood, on the back of which were the spectaclelike marks, and the brownish-olive form wriggled in'a desperate'effort to escape. Quickly it was thrust into a box, and while it was venting its rage on the interior Sip pulled himself together and adjusted his disheveled raiment. The rest of the night they sat up to discuss a conspiracy. Wun Sock conducted a prosperous laundry near the barracks, his business having increased with the influx of the Americans. Sip Gin was an all-around sport, who spent most of his time and money in the gambling joint which js at present the scene of this narrative, and of which Chip In was said to be the sole proprietor. Wun Sock had by artful competition forced Hop Hi, a rival laundry man, to.the v/all, for which piece of mercantile courtesy he incurred that Celestial's unmitigated enmity. Hop having migrated to Bombay, returned the compliment in the form of this cobra, neatly ensconced in a box, which Wun Sock, in delight and ignorance of Its contents, took around- to Chip In's to open before that heathen's usually admiring eyes. Upon forcing the lid the serpent made a pass at him, and but for the tool with which he opened the box, and which he still held in his hand, the result would surely have been fatal to Wun Sock. In the excitement, during which they all retreated, the cobra made good his escape, taking refuge in the hole in the hearth, which they promptly stopped up with a cork. Knowing the power or music to charm these reptiles, a violin was procured, and for si* nights they met at the joint and vainly extended an invitation to the cobra to emerge from the hearth and be again immured «tfhln the walla of his box. It regained, however, for Sip Gin, inspired j p sentiments of tenderness by the intuitively reoalling a forgotten tofettt* fuence of e. toothing liquid, to draw ttos, he took up the instrument, t * M the bow with sufficient witchery to charm the otherwise indomltabft cyeature and coax him f rojn his lair.

Wun Sock, with five enemies, Chip In with seven. Sip Gin with three, while he. Lam Chop, had only one—an enemy who had spoken evil of him to all .his race—Chin Lip, the barber. "But be; not vindictive," said Lam Chop, as he rubbed hto sleeve across hto face to hide a smile. "Let your enemies live and list to the chance of a lifetime. The government of Uncle Sam will give $5,000 for Aguinaldo, dead or alive." Lam Chop knew his hiding place and his disguise. "Think of 5,000 of Uncle Sam's big dollars, that buy ten times as much as our brass money! Back to China we can go and live like Li Hung Chang." Great was the idea, but how was it to be executed? Lam Chop would tell them. On the night of the full moon Wun Sock was to carry his venomous burden, boxed neatly, with the^lidmerely latched, to a deserted but on the outskirts of Manila. There Aguinaldo took refuge after nightfall and slipped out early every morning disguisedas a coolie. He would see the box and naturally open it; death would result and the reward be sure to follow. Wun Sock on the day appointed hastened to do the bidding of Lam Chop.

Next morning three Chinamen could be seen walking along the road leading to the outskirts. Lam Chop did not appear at the hour appointed to bring the body of Aguinaldo to the government of Uncle Sam; so, after waiting half an hour, the three decided to go without him. As they approached the hut their countenances beamed with anticipation. Wun Sock pushed open the door slowly and peeped in. There Aggy lay stretched out on the floor. The box open and empty. Sip Gin then took a peep, siuLi&s- •L • *> TIE • lastly Chip In. Making sure the cobra had escaped, they filed in and turned the body over, when all fell back aghast. It was Chin Lip, the barber! After their consternation subsided they rifled his pockets and filed out A nice trick Lam Chop had played on them! He, who had said "Be not vindictive and let your enemies live," had used their weapon for his own ends. It galled their Chinese souls. However, they would make Lam Chop pay for his little trick. They looked for him, but he was not to be found. He had vanished. The accumulated wealth of Wun Sock, Chip In and Sip Gin had been detached from its hiding places and had gone along, too. He had sold his restaurant the day previous to a mutual friend, who reported that Lam Chop laughed so loud and ants include hto faithful valetLOen"H Twentieth street, and •very day stnet its recent opening crowds of colored folk gather on the pavement to admire its gandy front On the first day of taurines* nearly $1,000- was received in deposits, yet the average deposit was considerably under |6.

Never Was There 8uek Kxeltement^- Pbyslelans' Association Trying to Kxplaln. Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25th.—This city is stirred up as never before. Some seven years ago the local papers published an account of a man named George H. Kent of 408 Gilmour street, who was dying of Bright's Disease and who at the very last moment after several of our best physicians had declared he couldn't live twelve hours, was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills. People who know how low Mr. Kent was refused to believe that he was cured permanently and the other day in order to clinch the matter the papers published the whole case over again and backed up their story by svorn statements made by Mr. Kent,' in which he declares most positively that in 1S94 he was given up by the doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills and nothing else saved him, and further that since the day that Dodd's Kidney Pills sent him back to work seven years ago, he has not lost a single minute from his work. (He is a printer in the American Bank Note Printing Company.) Mr. Kent is kept quite busy during his spare hours answering inquiries personally and by letter, but he is so grateful that he counts the time well spent Indeed he and his wife have shown their gratitude to Dodd'a Kidney Pills in a very striking -way by having their little girl—born in 1896— christened by the name of "Dodds." Altogether it is the most sensational case that has ever occurred in the history of medicine in Canada and the perfect substantiation of every detail leaves no room to doubt either the completeness or the permanency ot the cure. The local physicians have made the case of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills the subject of discussion at several of the private meetings of their association. A Wall tfm the City.

The slow absorption of many poisons changes in some more or less modified form the complexion, but nrsonic and ammonia show their effect about as quickly as any. The popular belie! that arsenic clears the complexion has led many silly women to kill themselves with it In small, continued doses. It produces a waxy, ivorylike appearance of the skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after effects have become too well known to make it of common use as a cosmetic. The effects of ammonia upon the complexion are directly opposite from that of arsenic. The first symptoms of ammonia poisoning which appears among those wlio work In ammonia factories is a discoloration of the skin of the nose and forehead. This gradually extends over the face until the complexion has a stained, blotched and unsightly appearance. With people Who take ammonia into their systems In small doses, as with their water and food, these striking symptoms do not appear so soon. The only effect of the poison that Is visible for a time is a general unwholesomeness and sallowuess of the complexion. JobnMon on Poverty. Poverty, my dear friend.

"I haven't quite decided," answered the American heiress. "I am not sure I can support him in tbe style to which his ancestors were accustomed."—Exchange. Undigested Pood. The recurrence of the flavor of food for some time after eating is always an indication, writes a physician in a medical journal, that the food is not being properly digested. "I can taste it," we say after eating canned fruits and vegetables preserved by adding salicylic acid or formaldehyde, substances that embalm food against the digestive julees as completely as they protect It from the microbes of the outer air. And "I can taste It" would probably be the report of one who had made a hearty meal on a turkey kept several months In cold, storage. "A man trying to live on such meat would simply starve to death or die of blood poisoning," adds the physician. He does not fail to remind us that the storage warehouse Is generally a convenience and a benefit and only when misused a source of tlanger. But neither he nor any one else could find a good word to say for manufacturers who put slow poison Into a food" product. The fitting punishment for them would be to give them nothing to eat but their own canned stuff. The Bird That Files Longe»t. Mr. J. Lancaster, naturalist, who spent five years on the west coast of Florida studying birds there, came to the conclusion that of all the feathered tenants of the air the frigate bird can fly the lougest without resting. He has seen one flying for a whole week night and day without repose. The frigate bird can feed, collect materials for its nest and even sleep on the wing. Apparently its wings can be controlled automatically, without the power of its will, and It probably adapts Itself to take advantage of the upward or bearing force of the wind. The spread of the frigate bird's wing is great, and It can fly at a speed of ninety-six miles an hour, without seeming to flap its wings much. The albatross—that "king of tbe high seas." ns It has been called—Is •larger than the frigate bird, but If It follows a vessel for-four or five days It has to rest on a rock or on the ship Itself. v First, tbe boy of eight or ten la teal lo tbe breaker to pick t l » slate and oth er impurities from the coal which has been brought up from the mine.

As be grows older and stronger be la advanced to the position and given the pay of a laborer. experience which secures bin a place as a miner's helper, and at be acquires •kill and strength he becomes, when in tbe height of bis manhood and vigor, a full fledged miner. ' . , If he is fortunate, enough to escape the falls of rock and coal, he may ^retain this position as a miner for a' number of years. But as age creeps on and he is attacked by some of the man; diseases incident to work in the mines be makes way for those younger and more vigorous following him up the ladder whose summit he has reached. He then starts on the descent, going back to become a miner's helper", then a mine laborer, now a door boy, and when old and decrepit be finally returns to the breaker where he started as a child, earning the same wages as are received by the little urchins who work at hia side. There is no incentive for ambition in the average miner's life. He cannot rise to places of eminence and wealth.

In furtherance of this plan he was removing his goods to temporary quarters In another building. The goods were nearly all out of the old structure when from some unknown cause It caught fire. The department was promptly on hand and soon had a stream playing on the flames, but the merchant was wild with excitement. Running up to the chief, he urged him to greater haste. "Never mind the goods!" he shouted. "Save the building! I'll give the boys a check for $500 for their pension fund if they don't let the fire spread beyond that floor!" "Why, you're going to tear the old building down anyway, aren't you?" asked the chief. "Yes," he said, "but do you suppose I want the insurance companies or anybodyonT earth to think that's tbe son why It caught fire?" By great exertion the flre was extinguished with little loss so far as tbe building was concerned, and the merchant was as good as his word.- Youth's Companion. Queer Creature*. There are microscopic creatures which live in roof gutters and on the bark of trees and are known as water bears and wheel animalculoe. If allowed to dry up under the microscope, they can be seen to shrivel Into shapeless masses, which may be kept for years uninjured in the dried state. On being placed after this long interval In water they gradually plump up, resume their proper shape and move about in search of food just as if nothing had happened. Much the same is true for the minute worms which from the substances in which they live are known as paste and vinegar eels. Well known Is the famous case of the desert snail, which, retracted into Its shell, was fastened to a. tablet in the British museum and showed no sign of life for seven years, when one morning it was found crawling hungrily about the glass case that formed its prison. Up HIH Sleeve. At the battle of Omdurman a soldier belonging to a Scotch regiment was nearly killed by a bullet which struck the ground just in front of him while he was firing In a reclining position. On rising to move a few feet forward, something came down his sleeve. It was the bullet. How it got up his sleeve without Inflicting damage can only be accounted for by the fact that It must have been spent by the time It struck the ground in front of him and the course of its flight up his sleeve was Its last billet.

Smith intends to arouse the interest of the farmers by introducing a bill early in the session providing that the post office department shall maintain mail boxes in connection with the rural free delivery service.

CAST SUNDAYS DISBURSE SIQNIflOANOE OF DREAMS. ON IL, as—BsTSlatloa* of tha All-8afflcl«at — W a k i n g B a r e Their Echo In tlMplng —8OBM Notable Conversions. fOoBjrUfat, U*X, by Louis Klopsch, N . Y.) Wnahington, Dec. 1.-In this dlacourae Dr. Talmage discusses a much talked of subject, and one In which all ara Interested. The text is Joel 11., 28, •~I will pour out my spirit upon ail flash; your old men shall dream sJreains, your young mea shall see aiatona." I* this photograph of the millennium the dream is lifted into great -coasBlcuily. We all admit that God in .ancient times and under Bible dispensation addressed the people through •dreams. The question now Is, does God appear in our day and reveal himself through dreams? You ask me if I believe in dreams. My answer is, 1 <tof but all I have to say will be under Ave heads. Beniark the i-irst—The Scriptures are so full of revelations from Ood that If we get ao communication from him in dreams we ought, nevertheless, to be satisfied. With twenty guidebooks to tell you now to get to New York or Pittsburg or London or Glasgow or Manchester, do you want a night vision to tell you how to make the journey? We have in this Scripture full direction in regard to the journey of this life and how to get to the celestial city, and with this grand guidebook, this magnificent directory, we ought to be satisfied. I have more faith in a decision to which I come when I am wide awake than *rhen I am sound asleep. I have nor. ttaed that those who give a great deal -of their time to studying dreams get their brains addled. They are very : anxious to remember what they dreamed about the first night they .slept in a new house. If in their dream they take the hand of a corpse, they are aoing to die. If they dream of a garden, it means a sepulcher. If something turns out according to a night vision they say: "Well, I am not surprised. I dreamed it." If it turns out "TtMterent ~frora~ttre ntght vision, they r, "Well, dreams go by contraries." la their efforts to put their drams into rhythm they put their waking thoughts iato discord. Now the Bible is so full of revelation that we ought to be satisfied if we get no further revelation. Sound sleep received great honor when Adam slept so extraordinarily that the surgical incision which gave him Eve did not wake him, but there la no such need for extraordinary slumber now. No need of a dream like that which encouraged Gideon, for all through Christendom it is announced nmd acknowledged and demonstrated -that righteousness, sooner or later, will get the victory. If there should come about a crisis ia your life upon which the Bible does not seem to be sufficiently specific, go to Ood in prayer and you will get especial direction. I have more faith, aiaety-nine times out of a hundred, in directions given you with the Bible in j&ar lap and your thoughts uplifted in prayer to God, than in all the information you will get unconscious on your pillow. Remark the Second.—All dreams feave an important meaning. They jprove that the soul is comparatively independent of the body. Every dream, whether agreeable or harassing, wheth- •er sunshiny or tempestuous, means so ranch that, rising from your couch, you ought to kneel down and say: "0 God, am I immortal? When*e? Whither? Two natures. My soul caged now—what when the door of the cage Is opened ? If my soul can fly so far In the few hours ia which my body is asleep in the night, how far can it fly when my body sleeps the long sleep of the grave?" Oh, this power to dream, how startling, how overwhelming! 1m- .mortal, immortal! Remark the Third.—The vast majority of dreams are merely the result of disturbed physical condition and are a supernatural message. Anything you see while under the influence • of chloral or brandy or hasheesh or laudanum is not a revelation from God. The learned Do Quincey did not ascribe to divine communication what he saw in sleep, opium saturated. Do not mistake narcotic disturbance for divine revelation. But I have to tell you that the majority of the dreams are merely the penalty of outraged digestive organs, and you have no right 'to mistake the nightmare for heavenly revelation. Late suppers are a warranty deed for bad dreams. The world -will not be evangelized until we get •ifd of a dyspeptic Christianity. 'HseHhy people want a religion that 'Sew* regularly by day and sleeps somlly by night. If through trouble of owning on of old age or exhaustion of Christian service you cannot sl**ep I, then rou may expvet from God "songs fn the nighV but thsra are no blessed communications to those who willingly surrender to! iadigastibjea. Another remark I make is that our dreams are apt to be merely the echo of our daytime thoughts. I will glye you a recipe for pleasant dreams. Fill your days with elevated thought and unselfish action, and your dreams will be set to music. If all day you are gouging and grasping and avaricious in your dreams you will see gold that you cannot clutch and bargains in which you were out-Shylocked. If during the day you are irascible and pugnacious and gunpowdery of disposition, you will at night have battle with enemies in which they will get the best of you. If you are all day long in a hurry, at night you will dream of rail trains that you want to catch, while you cannot: move one inch toward the depot. If you are always oversusplcious and expectant of assault, you will have at night hallucinations of assassins with daggers drawn. The scholar's dream is a philosophic echo. The poet's dream is a rhythmic echo. Coleridge composed bis "Kubia Khan" asleep in a narcotic dream and, waking up, wrote down 300 lines of it. Tartinia, the violin player, composed his most wonderful sonata while asleep in a dream so vivid that, waking, he easily transferred it to paper. Waking thoughts have their echo in sleeping thoughts. . If a man spend his life in trying to make others happy and is heavily minded, around his pillow he will see cripples who have got over their crutch and processions of celestial imperials and hear the grand march roll down from drums of heaven over jasper parapets. You are very apt to hear in dreams what you hear when you are wide awake. Now, having shown you that, having a Bible, we ought to be satisfied not getting any further communication from God, and having shown you that all dreams have an important mission since they show the comparative independence of the soul from the body, and having shown you that a majority of dreams are the result of disturbed physical conditions, and having shown you that our sleeping thoughts are apt to be an echo of our waking thoughts, I come now to my fifth and most important remark, and that is to say that it is capable of proof that God does sometimes in our day and has often since the close ot the Bible dispensation appeared to people in dreams. All dreams that make you better are from God. How do r know It? Is not God the source of all good? It does not take a very logical mind to argue that out. Tertullian and Martin Luther believed in dreams. The dreams of John Huss are immortal. St. Augustine, the Christian father, gives us the fact that a Carthaginian physician was persuaded of the immortality of the soul by an argument which he heard in a dream. The night before his assassination the wife of Julius Caesar dreamed that her husband fell dead across her lap. It is possible to prove that God dpes appear in dreams to warn, to convert and to save men. My friend, a retired sea captain and a Christian, tells me that one night while on the sea he dreamed that a ship's crew were in great suffering. Waking from his dream, he put about the ship, tacked in different directions, surprised everybody on his vessel—they thought he was going crazy—sailed on in another direction hour after hour and for many hours until he came to the perishing crew and rescued them and brought them to New York. Who conducted that dream? The God of the sea. The Rev. Dr. Bushnell in his marvelous book entitled "Nature and the Supernatural" gives the following fact that he got from Captain Yount in California, a fact confirmed by many families: Captain Yount dreamed twice one night that 150 miles away there was a company of travelers fast in the snow. He al30 saw in the dream rocks of a peculiar formation, and, telling this dream to an old hunter, the hunter said: "Why, I remember those rocks. Those rocks are in the Carson valley pass, 150 miles away. Captain Yount, Impelled by this dream, although laughed at by his neighbors, gathered men together took mules and blankets and started out on the expedition, traveled 150 miles, saw those very rocks which he had described in his dream, found the suffering ones at the foot of those rocks and brought them back to confirm the story of Captain Yount. Who conducted that dream? The God of the snow, the God of the Sierra Nevadas. • God has often appeared in resource and comfort You have known people —perhaps ft is something t state in your own experience—yott have seen people go to sleep with bereavements inconsolabk, and they awakened in perfect rer^gnation because of what they had seen in slumber. Dr. Cranage, one of the most remarkable men I ever met—remarkable for benevolence and great philanthropies—st Wellington, England, showed me a house vhere the Lord had appeared in a wonderful dream to a poor woman. The woman was rheumatic, sick, •.•'.J, , 'JR poor to,the last point of destitution.] She,was waited on and cared for by] another poor woman, her only attendant. Word came to her, one day that this poor woman had died, and the invalid of whom I am speaking lay helpless upon the couch, wondering what would become of her. In that mood she fell asleep. In her dreams she said the angel of the Lord appeared and took her into the open air and pointed In one direction, and there were mountains of bread, and pointed In another direction, and there were mountains of butter, and pointed in another direction, and there were mountains of all kinds of worldly supply. The angel of the Lord said to her, "Woman, all these mountains belong to your Father, and do you think he will let you, his child, hunger and die?'* Dr. Cranage told me by some divine impulse he went into that destitute home, and saw the suffering there and administered unto it, caring for her all the way through. Do you tell me that that dream was woven out of earthly anodynes? Was that the phantasmagoria of a diseased brain? No. It was an all' sympathetic God addressing a poor woman through a dream. Furthermore I have to say that there are people who were converted to God through a dream. The Rev. John Newton, the fame of whose piety fills all Christendom, while a profligate sailor on shipboard in his dream thought that a' being approached him and gave him a very beautiful ring and put it upon his finger and said to him: "As long as you wear that ring you will be prospered; if you lose that right, you will be ruined." In the same dream another personage appeared and by a strange infatuation persuaded John Newton to throw overboard that ring, and it sank into the sea. Then the mountains in sight were full of fire, and the air was lurid with consuming wrath. While John Newton was repenting of his folly of having thrown overboard the treasure another personage came through the dream and told John Newton he would plunge into the sea and bring that ring up if he desired i t He plunged into the sea and brought it up and said to John Newton, "Here is that gem, but I think I will keep it for you lest you lose it again." And John Newton consented, and all the fire went out from the mountains, and all the signs of lurid wrath disappeared from the air, and John _Newton_said that he saw in his " T - A Atr»n*e saloldsv, « dream that that valuable- gem was his soul and that the being who persuaded him to throw it overboard was Satan and that the one who plunged in and restored that gem, keeping it for him, was Christ. And that dream makes one of the most wonderful chapters in the life of that most wonderful man. John Hardonk while on shipboard dreamed one night that the day of judgment had come and that the roll of the ship's crew was called except his own name, and that these people, this crew, were all banished, and in his dream he asked the reader why his own name was omitted, and he was told it was to give him more opportunity for repentance. He woke up a different man. He became illustrious for Christian attainment. If you do not believe these things, then you must discard all testimony and refuse to' accept any kind of authoritative witness. God in a dream! Rev. Herbert Mendes was converted to God through a dream of the last judgment, and many of us have had some dream of that great day of judgment which shall be the winding up of the world's history. If you have not dreamed of it, perhaps tonight you may dream of that day. There are enough materials to make a dream— enough voices, for there shall be the roaring.of the elements and the great earthquake; enough light for the dream, for the world shall blaze; enou&u excitement, for the mountains shall fall; enough water, for the ocean shall rear; enough astronomical phenomena, for the stars shall go out; enough populations, for all the races of all ages will fall into line of one of two processions, the one ascending and the other descending, the one led by the rider on the white horse of eternal victory, the other led on by Apollyon on the black charger of eternal defeat. The dream comes on me now, and I see the lightnings from above answering the volcanic disturbances from beneath, and I hear the long reverberating thunders that shall wake up the dead, and all the seas, lifting up their crystal voices, cry, "Come to Judgment!" and all the voices of heaven cry, "Come to judgment!" and crumbling mausoleum and Westminster abbeys and pyramids of the deed with marble voices cry, "Come to judgment!" And the archangel seizes an instrument of music which has never yet been sounded—an instrument of music that was made only for one sound, and, thrusting that mighty trumpet through the clouds and turning it this way, he shall put it to his Up and blow the long, loud blast that shall make the solid earth quiver, crying, "Come to judgment!" "Then from this earthly grossness quit, AWred in stars, we shall forever sit" He > was engaged to be married on Thanksgiving, day to,»Miss Julia .Wilson, whose home Is in Chicago. On the night before his death Smith Visited his fiancee and- appeared to be in a very perturbed state of mind. He asked her to commit suicide with him and his actions greatly alarmed her. The next morning he was found dead In his room. Smith had sent word to one of his friends in Coopersville that he dreaded the marriage, but intended to perform his part, in spite of his disinclination. It is generally thought that he committed suicide rather than marry Miss Wilson. This at least is the opinion of his friends who investigated the matter in Chicago. Miss Wilson has gone insane over the death of her lover, for whom she cherished a sincere affection, in spite of the fact that it is believed that he tried once to poison her. This state* ment is made by the girl's brother. F l e e c e d t h e Farmer*. Samuel M. Tucker, tbe first of a large number of 'Detroit commission merchants indicted by the United States grand Jury on the charge of misusing the malls, was arrested by the police on a United States- warrant* ami he will have to answer before Judge Swan.

Paul, date* SeffcUAA U&, Prof. Thomas Sh«w of the Minnesota State University has the following to say, after having made a trip'through- Western Canada: "The capabilities of the immenso area known as Western Canada are but little understood on tWa «ide> of the line. Our people are apt,to look upon it as a region of frost and snow, a country in which but a small portion of the land relatively will aver be till* able, because of the rigors «4 the ellmate. True,-the climate Is cold in wintar, but Western Canada has, nevertheless, just that sort of climate which makes It the most reliable wheat producing country in all the continent* An XmoMmss Ar***, Western Canada ia not only an Immense area, but the same description will apply to. those portions of thecountry that are capable of being successfully tilled or grazed, pearly all of the prairie Province of. Manitoba can be brought under cultivation, although probably not one-third of its surface has been laid open by the plow. As8lniboia to the west is a grain and stock country. Saskatchewan to the north of Assiniboia has high adaptation for the same. This also may be said of Alberta to the west. Here lies what may be termed a gralrl-growing and stock producing empire, the resources of which have been but little drawn upon comparatively, viewed from the standpoint of the agriculturalist. When it is called to mind that even in the Peace River country in Athabasca, and several hnndreds of miles north of the Canadian boundary, wheat was grown which won a premium at the World's Fair In 1893, the capabilities of this country in wheat production loom up more brightly than even the brilliant northern lights of the land that lies toward the pole. Adapted to Stock and Grain Production, The region under consideration is, however, mainly adapted to growing grain and grazing stock. Much of it is adapted to growing both grain and stock, but certain areas, especially towards the mountains, are only adapted to ranching, except where irrigation will yet be introduced. This, of course, can be done successfully along the many streams that flow down from the Rockies and"waterthe country^"towards the east and north. The adaptation of the country for wheat production is of a high character. The cool nights that usually characterize the ripening season are eminently favorable to the filling of the grain, and to the securing of a plump berry, and consequently large yields. The crop this year is a magnificent one. In Manitoba and the territories it should certainly give an average of more than 20 bushels per acre. But should the yield be not more than 20 bushels, the crop will be a most handsome one, owing to the large area sown to wheat. Many farmers only grow grain. But those who do succeed as 'Well in growing oats and barley as in growing wheat, hence these foods for stock should always be abundant Some grow cattle mainly, and others combine the two. The last named, of course, is doubtless the safest of the three during a long course of years, that Is to say, where much farming is practicable. Quality of tb« lArm Stock. It waa a pleasurable surprise to note the high quality of the stock. The average of quality in cattle is higher than the average of cattle in our state, unless in the dairy classes. This opinion is not reached rashly or without ample opportunity for investigation. I spent three long days in the show ring at Winnipeg making the awarda in the beef classes. I question if any of our states, single handed, could make such a showing in cattle. It was my privilege to make the awards at several shows and at all of their fairs were evidences that much attention is given to the improvement of the stock. I noted carefully thecharacter of the herds that grazed along the railroad and everywhere the high average of the quality of the stock was in evidence. Reasons for Quality In Stockv The quality of the grass is good. Many of the settlers came from Ontario and had been schooled as to the) value of good stock before- going west The railroads and the- government have taken a deep interest In making it less difficult and costly to the farmers to secure good males. Those who are anxious of changing their residence shoald bear in mind that the lands in Western Canada ara many of them free and others reasonably cheap. Information will gladly be given by any agent of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere. asaa who hates the Gospel does it fee ta* same reason that an elephant strikes at the water which reflects his taee. •«K Vl TT*e ws*.e C I J O T H I Iting BIIH ••achiAntg a lBl gluoeo da gnrdo cmerask. e UMS* Mfcf jWiia^fcMSVattLtti ^ . . ^ pfog.

" H o * etae do you «ceomnt for it* dUappearance?" ««IP-I beitev* there must be aome mlaapprehention, some great alatake in the affair altogether. Lady Sarah. It apears incomprehensible now, hut it will be unraveled." "Ay, and' In double-quick time," wrathfullc; exclaimed the Colonel. "You must think you are talking to a pack of Idiots, Master Garard. Here the bracelets was spread temptingly «xrt <on a' table, you went into the room, being hard tip for money, fingered It, wished tor tt, and both you and She bracelet disappeared. Sir"— turning sharply to IJhe officer—"did a •clearer case ever go before a Jury?" Gerard Hope bit Ms lip. "Be more imtt, Colonel," said he. "Your own lbBOiher's son steal* bracelet!" ".And I am happy my brother is not altaice to know it," rejoined the Colonel In an obstinate tone. "Take him in Jand, Mr. Officer; we'll go to Marlborough street. I'll just change my •coat, and——-" "No, no, you'Will not!" cried Lady 'Sarah, laying hold of the dressing gown and the Colonel In it; "you shall mat go nor Gerard either. Whether lhe is guilty TJr-not, it must not be brought against him publicly. He (bears your name, Colonel, and so do I, and it would reflect disgrace on us alh" "Perhaps you are made of money, my lady. If so, you may put up with the loss of a £250 bracelet. I don't choose to do so." "Then, Colonel, you will, and you must. -Sir;" added Lady Sarah to the detective, "we are obliged to you for your attendance and advice, but it turns out to be a family affair as you iperceive, and we must decline to prosecute. Besides, Mr. Hope may not be guilty." Alice rose and stood before Colonel Hope. "Sir, if this charge were preierred against your nephew, if it came to trial, I think it would kill me. You know:myunfortunatestateofhealth; the agitation, the excitement of appearance to give evidence, would be— I—I cannot continue; I cannot speak of it without terror; I pray you, for my sake, do not prosecujte Mr. Hope." The Colonel was about to storm forth an answer, but her white face, ner heaving throat, had some effect even on him. "He is so doggedly obstinate. Miss Sea ton. If he would but confess and tell where it is, perhaps I'd let him off." Alice thought somebody else was obstinate. "I do not believe he has anything to confess," she deliberately said; "I truly believe that he has not. He could, not have taken it, unseen by me; and when we quitted the room, I feel sure the bracelet was left in It" "It was left in it, so help me heaven!" uttered Gerard. "And now I've got to speak," added Frances Chenevix. "Colonel, if you were to press the charge against Gerard, I would go before the magistrates and proclaim myself the thief. I vow and protest I would, Just to save him, and you and Lady Sarah could not prosecute me, you know." "You do well to stand up for him!" retorted the Colonel. "You would not be quite so ready to do it, though, my lady Fanny, if you knew something I could tell you." "Oh, yes, 1 should," returned the young lady with a vivid blush. The Colonel, beset on all sides, had no choice-hut .tosubmit; but he did so with an ill grace, and dashed out of ' the room with the officer, as fiercely AS if he had >been charging an enemy at full tilt "The seatfbnenitai -apes these women make of themselves!" cried he in his polite way, wrbtm he had got him in private. "Is it not a dear case of guiltr "In my private opinion, It certainly is," was the reply: "though he carries it off with a high hand. I suppose. Colonel, you still wish the bracelet to be searched for?" "Search in aad oat aad Ugh and low; search everywhere. The rascal! to dare even to eater my house in secret V* "May I inquire if the previous breach with your nephew had' to do with money affairs?" <. H "No," said the Colonel, turning more crusty at the thoughts called up. "I fixed up a wife for him and he wouldn't have her; so I turned him out of doors and stopped his allowance.** "Oh," was the only comment of the police officer. CHAPTER X. - It wae in the following wasdr, and Saturday j4ght . Thomas, without his Jtat, was standing at Cattail Hopes door, chatting to an acquaintance when he perceived. Gerard come tearing up the street Thomas' friend backed against the rails and the spikes, and Thomas himself stood with the door in his hand, ready to touch his hair to Mr. Gerard' as he passed. Instead of passing, however, Gerard cleared the steps at a bound, pulled Thomas with himself inside, shut the door and double locked i t Thomas was surprised in all ways. Not only at Mr. Hope's coming in at all, for the Colonel had again harshly forbidden the house to him, and the servants to admit him, but at the suddenness and strangeness of the action. "Cleverly done," quoth Gerard, when he could get his breath. "I saw a shark after me, Thomas, and had to make a bolt for it Your having been at the door saved me." Thomas turned pale. "Mr. Gerard, you have locked -it^-and I'll put up the chain, if you order me, but I'm afeared it's going agin the law to keep out them detectives by force of arm 8." "What's the man's head running on now?" returned Gerard. "There are no detectives after me; it was only a seedy sheriff's officer. Pshaw, Thomas! there's no worse crime attached to me than a slight suspicion of debt." "I'm sure I trust not, sir; only master will have his own way." "Is he at home?" "He's gone to the opera with my lady. The young ladies are upstairs alone. Miss Seaton has been 111, sir, ever since the bother, and Lady Frances is staying at home with her." "I'll go up and see them. If they are at the opera, we shall be snug and safe." "Oh, Mr. Gerard, had you better go up, do you think?" the man ventured to remark. "If the Colonel should come to hear of it " "How can he? You are not going to tell him, and I am sure they will not. Besides, there's no help for it; I can't go out again for hours. And, Thomas, if any demon should knock and ask for me,_L_am gone to—to_an evening party up at Putney; went'out you know by the side door." Thomas watched him run up the stairs, and shook his head. "One can't help liking him, with it all; though where could the bracelet have gone to if he did not take it?" The drawing rooms were empty, and Gerard made his way to a small room that Lady Sarah called her "boudoir." There they were—Alice buried in the pillows of an invalid's chair, and Lady Frances careening about the room, apparently practicing some new dancing step. She did not see him; Gerard danced up to her, and took her hand, and joined in it "When the cat's away the mice can play," cried Gerard, treating them to a step. "Mr. Hope," remonstrated Alice, lifting her feeble voice, "how can you indulge these spirits while things are so miserable?" "Sighing and groaning won't make them light," he answered, sitting down on a sofa near to Alice. "Here's a seat for you, Fanny, come-along," he added, pulling Frances to his side. "First and foremost, has anything come to light about that mysterious bracelet?" "Not yet," sighed Alice. "But I have no rest; I am in hourly fear of It." "Fear!" uttered Gerard in astonishment Alice winced and leaned her head upon her hand; she spoke in a low tone. "You must understand what I mean, Mr. Hope. The affair has been productive of so much pain and annoyance to me, that I wish it could be ignored forever." "Though it left me under a cloud," said Gerard. "You must pardon me if I cannot agree with you. My constant hope is that it may all come to daylight; I assure you I have specially mentioned it in my prayers." "Pray don't, Mr. Hope," reproved Alice. "I'm sure I have cause to mention it, for it is sending me into exile; that and other things." "It is guilty only who flee, not the innocent," said Frances. "You don't mean what you say, Gerard." "Don't I! There's a certain boat advertised to steam from London bridge wharf tomorrow, wind and weather permitting, and it steams me with i t I am compelled to fly my country." "Be serious and say what you mean." "Seriously, then, I am over head and ears in debt You know my uncle stopped my allowance in the spring and sent me—metaphorically—to the dogs. I had a few liabilities, and they have all come down upon me. But for this confounded bracelet affair, there's no doubt the Colonel would have settled them; rather than let the. name of Hope be dubiously bandied by the pttbUe; be would have expended big Ire in growls and hive gone and done' it But that is ovar now, and I go to take tip my abode in soma renowned colony for desolate English, beyond the pale of English lock-ups. Boulogne or Calais, or Dieppe or Brussels I may see; and there X may be kept for years." Neither of the young ladies answered immediately; they saw the facto were serious, and that Gerard was only making light of it before them, "How shall you live?" questioned Alice. "You must live there as well as here; you cannot-starve." "I shall just escape the starving. I have got a trifle, enough to swear by, and keep me on potatoes and salt. Don't you envy me my prospects?" "When do you suppose you may return?" inquired Lady Frances, 1 ask it seriously, Gerard." "I know no more than you, Fanny. I have no expectations but from the Colonel. Should he never relent, I am caged there for good." "And so you ventured here to tell us this, and bid us good-by?" "No; I never thought of venturing here; how could I tell that the bashaw would be at the opera? A shark set on me in the street, and I had to run for my life. Thomas happened to be conveniently at the door, and I rushed In, and saved myself." "A shark!" uttered Alice, in dismay, who in her inexperience had taken his words literally—"a shark in the street. Lady Frances Chenevix laughed. "One with sharp eyes and a hooked nose, Alice, speeding after me on two legs, with a polite invitation from one of the law lords. He is watching on the opposite side now." "How shall you get away?" exclaimed Frances. "If the bashaw comes home before 12 Thomas must dispose of me somewhere in the lower regions; Sunday is free for us, thank goodness. So please make the most of me, both of you, for it is the last time you will have the privilege. By the way, Fanny, will you do me a favor? There used to be a little book of mine in the glass bookcase in the library; my name in it and a mottled cover; I wish you would go and find it for me."

She'll be half an hour rummaging, for I have not seen the book there for ages. Alice, one word before we part. You must know that it was for your sake I refused the marriage proposed to me by my uncle; you will not let me go into banishment without a word of hope, a promise of your love to lighten it." "Oh, Gerard," she eagerly said, "I am so glad you have spoken; I almost think I should have spoken myself, if you had not. Just look at me." "I am looking at you," he fondly answered. "Then look at my hectic face, my constantly tired limbs, my sickly hands; do they not plainly tell you that the topics you would speak of must be barred topics to me?" "Why should they be? You will get stronger." "Never. There is no hope of it. Many years ago, when the illness first came on mc, the doctors said I might get better with time; but the time has come, and come, and come, and—gone, and only left me a more confirmed invalid. To an old age I cannot live; most probably but a few years; ask yourself, Gerard, if I am one who ought to marry and leave behind a husband to regret me; perhaps children. No, no." "You are cruel, Alice." "The cruelty would be, if I selfishly allowed you to talk of love to me; or, still more selfish to let you cherish hopes that I would marry. When you hinted at this the other evening when than wretched bracelet was lost, I reproached myself with cowardice in not answering more plainly than you had spoken. I should have told you, Gerard, as I tell you now. that nothing, no persuasion from the dearest person on earth shall ever induce me to marry." "You dislike me, I see that" "I did not say so," answered Alice, with a glowing cheek. "I think it very possible that—if I could ever allow myself to dwell on such things—I should like you very much, perhaps better than I could like any one." "And why will you not?" her persuasively uttered. "Gerard, I have told you. I am too weak and sickly to be other than I am. It would only be deceiving myself and you. No, Gerard, my love and hopes must lie cite where." "Where?' he eagerly asked. Alice pointed upwards. "I am learning to look upon it as m* home," she whispered, "and I must not suffer hindrances to obscure the way. It will be a better home than eve* your love, Gerard." Gerard Hope smiled.

Antl-Smoklng Society. _, With the inspiring title of the Red Brotherhood, a league has been founded to band together boys who are open to promise that they will not commence smoking until they are at least sixteen years of age. There can be no question as to the harm inflicted upon th rising generation by indulgence in the smoking habit. Taking its title from the watchwords, Real Example and Determined, the Red Brotherhood has been formed that boys themselves may meet the evil without calling in the assistance of state legislation, as has been found necessary in other countries. The organization aims at extreme simplicity in its working, and boys of every class and creed are invited to become members. There are no fees, and there will be no public appeal for money. To join the Red Brothers boys must visit or write to the warden of the society, St Hugh's, Penzance, simply making the promise: "I will not smoke until I am sixteen years old."

Before him stood a young man who had Just down early, and,he managed t o have finished making a complaint t h a t ; business with every one about the essounded most unwelcome in Mr. Lyon's ears. "Yon are pot the first one who has spoken to me of this, Johnson," said Mr. Lyon a'ftera moment's pause. "A dozen others have reported the loss of money from the change pockets of their coats in that closet." "Do you suspect any one?" "TCo, 1 have no suspicions and not the slightest evidence," replied Mr. L y o n . , • , " f'T don't like to mention suspicions without something to support them," suggested Johnson hesitatingly, "but I have seen William the porter around that coat closet a good deal more than seemed necessary to me," "1 have no fear of William," replied the employer stoutly. "I don't believe he is a thief, and I won't till it has been proved against him. However, I am determined to find out who has made everybody suspicious of everybody else in this office, and I shall examine William along with the rest." William was the porter. H e had been In the employ of the firm for, years and had the absolute confidence of most of the people about the place. As soon as Johnson had made his accusation and left the ofilce William was called in and examined and told to keep away from the coatroom altogether. For several days Mr. Lyon diligently tabllshment. He visited oue desk after another, a n d as lie talked watched every movement of the hands of the man with whom he was conversing. For half an hour he saw nothing out of the usual, but as he approached one desk he noticed that the young man sitting there was holding his pen in a peculiar fashion and bad stains on his fingers. Mr. Lyon looked carefully to make pure, aud tlien hurried into his private office and sent for the fellow who had attracted his attention. The door opened a moment later and in walked young Johnson, who a few days earlier had accused William, the porter, of being the thief. He had a confused and guilty -expression aud .seemed so ijl at ease that Mr. Lyon's suspicions were confirmed at once. "Did I notice that you were holding your pen In a peculiar way. Mr. Johnson/" asked the employer. • "Yes. sir," stammered the young fellow, growing very red: "I cut my hand I: trifle Inst night—that is"— "That is, you know why I sent for you to come in here. Isn't that what you mean, sir?" interrupted Mr. Lyon. "I'm sorry to confess that 1 do, sir, but r - "Dou't make any excuses," ordered Mr. Lyon, "but just follow me back into the outer office."

Then he took a book, lighted his pipe and sat down to wait for daylight. In the morning the chief appeared with anxiety written all over his face. "Any accidents, Johnny?" asked t h * chief. "Not an accident I've, got 'em all on the sidetrack, snowed in and waiting for orders, and you will have to get 'em out. I am going to blow this job."

False tails are extensively made for horses, old favorites especially, whose caudal appendages present a woruout and moth*eathen appearance, like Petrucbio's "old mothy saddle," a*nd his prodigiously mothy get up ("Taming of the Shrew," iii, 2). They are also worn by funeral horses, and by other horses of exquisite outline selected for a particular kind of work, but which are somewhat spoiled in appearance by the possession of a rat tail (bald, like a rat's). These useful appliances, however, are not constructed exclusively for harness horses. I have seen rows of bogus tails, artistically joined on to the crupper, hanging up in a cavalry barracks ready for Instant service, being slipped on just like a finger stall. The "fine__ends" or false tails ..used by nobody but "horse copers" or low swindlers are most ingeniously fastened on the animal's bare back by invisible means.. A dealer in horses never looks at a horse with a bad tail, and he always goes to the best market only.— Chambers' Journal. lite ftufkBcy giapatcli.

One morning a well known naturalist was greatly surprised to see a robin lying on his back evidently dead, being rapidly pulled round and round by another bird of the same species. The naturalist at once came to the conclusion that he had come iu time to witness the end of a deadly encounter, and that the live robin was indulging in the cruel triumph of dragging his victim's lifeless body over the stones. But he was mistaken, for suddenly the live bird went down upon his* back, his wings and legs were stiffened, and he gave ev^ry appearance of being dead, while the other robin who had been shamming, death hopped oti his legs and proceeded to serve his companion in the same way as ho had done him. Finally the two birds flew away together to a neighboring tree. VILLAGE OFFICERS. PBBBIDBNT . ^ . c. L, Sigler T*U8TJJKS R. Baker, K. H. Krwin, IP. O. JacksoD, Geo. KeasouJr. Chaa.

TWO WABASH TRAINS COLLIDE NEAR SENEGA CAUSING A TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE, Friends, thought absent, are still present; though In poverty they arc rich; though weak yet in the enjoyment of health; and what is still more difficult to assert, though dead they are alive. A man in Alpine, Col., is at least willing to sell his body for money. His name is W. S. Cobnrn, a prospector. He owns a lot of mining property that is valuable, but his credit is exhausted and he cannot get money to further work i t Hence he thus advertises in a local paper: "If I have a right to sell my body when it becomes a corpse I am in the market for anybody desiring such investment. My body will make a good skeleton." A fault In the New Zealand submarine cable, which recently caused much trouble to And and repair, is stated to have been caused by the bite of a fish. U was almost bitten through, a broken tooth, half an inch long and apparently belonging to a fish of lare size, being found embedded in the strands, which rested 330 fathoms below the surface. The accident is of a very unusual nature, as large fish do not usually descend to such great depths. MAM CREMATED UNDER BURNING CARS. It Is Stated that About One Hundred People, Mostly Italians* were Burned to Death in the Wrecks After the Collision- Engineer Strong; Blamed for the Accident—Was Ordered to Stop at Seneca Siding but Disobeyed. An effort will be made at the coming session of congress to have the census office made a permanent bureau of the government. The proposal has the support of common sense. To assemble all the experts necessary to carry ©n—tbis great undertaking* as well as to train the thousands of clerks, is too large a task to undertake "from the ground up" on each decennial year. Much statistical work, moreover, might be distributed to advantage through the decade. Before the Deputy Magistrate of AHpore (Bengal), one Shalk Ozer, of Baslatolla, was recently charged with having brutally branded his girl wife. The girl used to run away from her husband's house to her father's, and on the last occasion she was brought by the accused, who, after subjecting her to various tortures, branded her with a pair of redthot tongs, and thereby disfigured her permanently. The accused was sentenced to one year's rigorous Imprisonment. The wreck on the Wabash main lino, just east of Seneca at 0:4."» Wednesday evening, ranks as the most frightful in tiie history of Michigan railroads, and arose from negligence or. misinterpreting orders by which train No. 13 from Detroit and No. 4 from Chicago coll i d e ! The scone of the wreck beggars description, so horrible are the details. No. 13. which was pulled by two engines, had several cars loaded with Iralian immigrants, some of whom were crushed and killed, others maimed and then burned as the wreck took tire. Those who escaped death and Injury saw the horrible sight of these unfortunates being burned to ashes without being able to render assistance. The trains were running at least 50 miles an hour. The shock was terrific, telescoping every ear of No. 13, the cars immediately behind the engine being so badly smashed that three of them occupied a space little more than eight feet In length. After the first shock of the collision there was a moment's silence, followed by the shrieks of the wounded, who l)umbered over 100. Fire broke out immediately and the scene of the wreck became as bright us day. Farmers for miles around were attracted to the scene to aid in the work of rescue. Inside the immigrant car men were fighting each other to get out and away from the flames, which made rapid progress, no means being at baud to combat the fire. No. I train was also telescoped, but the loss of life was oh lefty confined to one day car, an accommodation car which ••foHowert" the engine, standing the'main ' shock without-giving way. In the day car, which followed, were about ."»0 first-class passengers. Of these there are probably :u> killed. This car also caught fire ami burned. When the fire broke out in the immigrant cars the screams of agony were appalling, and before any rescues could i>e made the flames had grown so tierce that no one could get near the wreck and strong men had to stop their ears and turn their faceft away from the horrible scene, knowing that they were powerless to do a thing. The tire simply had to burn itself out until nothing was left of these immigrant cars but the wheels and other metal parts. Thursday morning after the fire died out the horrors of the scene were sickening. Bodies charred until they redoubled logs left after a forest fire, were lying about on all sides. People stumbled over corpses while they were rushing frantically about trying to aid others or seeking aid for themselves. Some blankets were secured from neighboring farm houses to cover a few of these frightful objects from sight, but other bodies lay strewn along the track like cast-away railroad ties. Three trams from Detroit brought to the scene more than a score of doctors with railroad employes to work upon the wreckage and attempt to relieve the suffering. Hundreds of people from the country side and neighboring towns flocked thither to offer assistance In their humble way and opened their homes for the reception of bodies of the dead and writhing forms of tho liviug. The Wabash railroad made every effort to get trains to the scene from all directions in order to transport the injured quickly to the nearest hospitals. Parties of Injured were taken to Adrian. Peru, Ind.; Alvordton and Montpelier, 0., and some of the slightly injured to Detroit. ' The loss of life m a y never be fully known unless the ticket collector or his* record is found. Of the Italians, 4() and possibly GO were killed—half of them, at leiLst. being burned like hogs in a pen.

Burns claims that Engineer Strong, of No. 4. is responsible, but Strong denies it, saying his orders were to pass No, 13 at Sand Lake and not at Seneca, as the train dispatchers orders show. MINOR MICHIGAN MATTERS. A portion of a hatpin, about three inches long, was found in the intestines of Alfred Phillips, a four-year-old boy of No. 733 Wythe avenue, Brooklyn, who was operated on for appendicitis. The pin was badly rusted, and evidently had been in the boy's body for some time. The child had suffered from severe pains for several months, but it was not until recently that an operation was decided upon. It is feared that the boy cannot live, as the intestines were perforated several times by the pin. The common notion that Germans are the heaviest beer drinkers is refuted by statistics published by the Britisn Board of Trade. Last year every German, on the average, drank twentyseven gallons, while the average Englishman drank thirty-two gallons. The consumption in the United States was less than half as much, per capita, as In Germany. With the exceptions of the Belgians, the British are the largest beer-drinkers in the world, and the consumption has grown rapidly during the last fifteen years. A sharp change toward total abstinence would compel a recasting of budgets, for last year 36 per cent of the net revenue of Great Britain was derived from the taxation of beer, wine and spirits. An Ohio Horror. Three miles north of Beverly, Washington county, Robert Wilkin, a prosperous farmer, spent Sunday drinking hard cider. His little son came into the house and was seized by the drunken man, who beat him terribly with a board. The wife and mother protested at such treatment and Wilkin threatened to kill her if she did not go away and keep quiet. With a rush the mother caught her little one in her arms and started for the home of her father, Jacob Stokes, who lived but a short distance down the road. Wilkin caught up a gun and followed the fleeing woman, shooting after her as she ran. Mr. and Mrs. Stokes heard the noise and came out to the front porch to see what the trouble was. Wilkin saw them, and pointing the gun at them fired. The charge struck Mr. Stokes in the side of the head and he staggered to the side of the porch. Mrs. Stokes was shot in the face and her nose and ears were shot off. Stokes managed to stagger through the door, close and lock it. Wilkin then shot the lock aff and rushed into the house, screaming like a madman. He was met by an 18-year-old son of Stokes and aimed his gun at the lad with murderous Intent. Young Stokes secured a gun •from another room and , fired the charge into Wilkin's head, blowing out his brains and killing him Instantly. The Bonine Trlnl. The prosecution In the Bonine trial rested Saturday afternoon, and Attorney Keeue outlined the position of the defeuse. fronii which it is evident that a number of witnesses who have already testified will be recalled. He laid stress on the fact that no motive could have inspired Mrs. Bonine to kill Ayres, that nothing improper had been shown in their relations, and that reputable physicians would testify that the wounds received by Ayres could have been inflicted as rotated by Mrs. Bonine In her confession. The defense will also assail the dead man's habits, claiming that he had been fast growing intemperate, and that lie w a s a member of a drunken party on the night of May 14. shortly before he met his death. The ownership of the pistol will bo uaide a strong point, as the defense will endeavor to prove, at least by inference, that it belonged to Ayres. Attorney Keene asserted that it would be shown that Ayres showed the same Identical revolver to a man last December, that in February he loaned a loaded pistol similar to it. and that a few days before his death he procured some oil with which to clean a revolver. Ten thousand dollars is the price which Andrew Foy, a stonemason, thinks the city of New York should pay him for three of his front teeth. On the night of Sept. 17 Foy stepped oft a new cement sidewalk in the vicinity of Kedzie avenue and West Taylor street, and, losing his balance, fell against an upright piece of scantling. Three of his front teeth were driven far into the scantling by the force of the fall, and Foy could not release them. He took the scantling along and sought a dentist, but the teeth came out when the dentist tried to pull the scantling off. The scantling, with the three teeth sticking J n It, will be exhibited when the damage auit comet to trial. V. 9. Marines Landed. Transit across the isthmus has been stopped again. Marines from the United States battleship Iowa at Panama have been landed to protect the railroad and are now on the ilne where the fighting is going on. The action taken by the United States in landing marines and protecting the line across the isthmus is hi conformity with the wishes of the Colombian government. The Colombian authorities are fully aware that If they retake Colon \t must bo through their own efforts and without the hope of any assistance from the American forces on the ground, as this government is scrupulously holding aloof from the political contest between the government and the Liberals. A more careful survey of the storm that swept the coast of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut indicates that the aggregate damage will be over $1,000,000. Gustav Helnrlch. a wealthy furrier of New York, was assaulted and robbed of diamonds..valued at $350 while o;i his way to his hotel in Cleveland, after calling on friends. The Brooklyn Explosion. The boiler room and Masonic hall In Brooklyn present a scene of wreck and ruin as a result of the boiler explosion in the electric light plant Monday afternoon. The big iron cylinder, weighing tons, was hurled over 100 feet outward and upward, striking the second story of the Masonic hall and bursting in the wall and roof as though it had been hit by one of the battering rams of ancient warfare. Down stairs in this building a number of women and children were trimming the stage in the hall under the lodge room, and when the 60-horse power boiler struck the building and plaster came raining down upon them they fled, shrieking. None of them was injured. tOSS Of LIFE, WR3C&MD RUIN Aa Old VitMM'i Q«»A .JFpejta«»-A N»r*ow K*cac»-The Slaughter-otj&fr-A Bw> Midland has four cases of smallpox Owoaeo is assured of a b e e t «ttf<K factory now. ; *' Port Huron has hope's of n glass'factory to eojjpjoy 2 0 0 , t o 8 0 0 men.

(Copyright, 1901, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) "Indeed, Bertie, I just think I'm one of the luckiest girls In the world," and Ethel Trent leaned back on the lounge and folded her pretty hands complacently^ so that her diamond and sapphire ring showed to the best advantage. "Mr. Wilson simply adores me, and I shall have everything that money can buy. Think of spending a whole year abroad. I have always longed to travel and to be able to buy no end of beautiful things for our new house on the boulevard. And then Mr. Wilson is a man any girl might be proud of. He doesn't look a day over 40, and is really distinguished looking. I tell you I'm in luck. "But what will Rob say?' asked her sister, far less impressed by the glowing picture than Ethel had expected her to be. The girl shrugged her shoulders Impatiently. "Congratulate me, I suppose. He has no right to say anything else, and it would make no difference if he did." "Oh, Ethel." "Bertha, you make me tired," exclaimed Ethel, sitting erect in her vehemence of speech. "I never could see why you always insisted that Rob Hillis and I were sweethearts. I am not engaged to him. He never asked me to marry him, and supposing he was in love with me what would it matter? I can't marry all the men who admire me, so I choose to please myself. Rob "But what will Rob say?'* i s as poor as a church mouse, and you know it." "But, Ethel, don't you know his uncle has made him his assistant, and he will surely ask you now that he A can afford to marry." Ethel interrupted her disdainfully. , "On $1,200 a year, excuse me If you please. My dear child, don't you know that Mr. Wilson has twice as many thousands?.. Really, Bertha, you ought t o have more sense. But then you Jiave spent your life here in the country, and you don't know what life is. I • / bay a r-; more reason to think t h a t that hoy is in love with me than with you; he is Joe's chum, that 13 all. But if he does mind, what then? He has no right to complain and he will get over it, never fear. Anybody would really think you thought more about him than me. Novel reading has turned your brain. I don't believe in romantic passion myself and am quite willing that most of the love shall be on the man's side so long as I have a high respect for my husband and he has plenty of money. I never was in love in my life and I never expect to be, but I shall do my best to satisfy Mr. Wilson, and I have no fears for the future. Besides, I am older than you are, and you hare no business to lecture me." The summer previous Mrs. Trent's only si9ter, well-to-do, childless, living in a fashionable apartment house in a large city, and "quite in the swim" had been ordered absolute rest and quiet from her social duties and her charities. Seeking such repose she had come to visit her sister in the country township of Kaowoc, and found the experiment a success. When she returned to town she had taken her eldest niece with her. Ethel was a beauty and Mrs. Morton had announced to her husband ber intention to give the girl a chance. Mr. Morton never denied his wife anything; moreover, he, too, had taken a fancy to the girl and the chance was given with no niggard hand. It would be hard to tell whether Mr. or Mrs. Morton was most pleased at the sensation which Ethel made, most delighted when the head of the firm of Wilson & Co., of which Mr. Morton was a junior member, asked Ethel to marry him. Neither of them imagined the possibility of a refusal, although the suitor was twice her age. The old chronicle tells us that when Alcides, having gone through all the fatigues of life, took a bride in Olympus, he ought to have selected Minerva, but ho chose Hebe. Other men since then have done tho same thing, and no one, not even the brideelect, thought of the difference of age as an objection. Ethel did not say "yes, and thank you," but she felt it, and her behavior on the occasion was generously rewarded by her aunt and her uncle-in-law. Ethel had the satisfaction of knowing that her trousseau would be all that could be desired. As for Rob Hillis, Ethel never took him into consideration; as she said, why should she? Half the young men in Kaowoc were more or less in love with her. Rob was her brother's special friend, and so, oftener at the house than any of the others, but much more was taken for granted than had ever been said. Bertha Trent, four years younger than her sister, admired Ethel beyond measure. She herself was barely good looking, and accustomed to be overshadowed by her brilliant sister upon all occasions, she was content with reflected glory and never thought to be Jealous. Only now was she disappointed when everyone else was praising Ethel for that she had done so woll to herself. Bertha was Intensely loyal, and she loved Rob bettor than she even knew. Ahe <*had atoajw-*taken*H for*gr*$tc3 ' that" her - two. /swan* * piust mate, -and bar air castles bad all been built with that end in view. There waa nobody good enough in ber eyes tor Ethel but Rob) and how could .anyone whom &»b.4ovta fail to aay him yea? •'«»' So when Ethel came, honv .after ajx months' absence, bringing her sheaves with her, Bertha, unimpressed by their golden glory, asked herself and ber sister, "What will Rob say?" T h e year before1 Rob Hillis hadj graduated with high honors at one of the first medical colleges in the country, and coming home, .hung out his shingle. But country towns are apt to distrust young men, most of all when they have grown up in their midst, and it was only the very few who appreciated the great advances which medicine and surgery have made in recent years, who dared to employ him. Thus it was a godsend when the young doctor's uncle, having no son to inherit his practice and feeling the need of an assistant, wrote to Rob to come and fill the post. This, during Ethel's absence, but before the news of her engagement had reached Kaowoc. Rob had talked the offer over with Joe and Bertha, although there was but one opinion as to its acceptance, a fairly good income for a young man. Rob had answered, "Yes, a fellow might get married on that with the right kind of a wife," and had smiled at Bertha, who, thinking of Ethel, had choked down a lump, which, to her shame and confusion, rose in her throat, and bravely smiled back. Now that Ethel had unhesitatingly thrown Rob over, Bertha felt that further protest was useless; nay, more, she felt that she was on the verge of tears and that if she remained in the room with her sister she would do or say something to be sorry for. She left the room and the house; she felt that she wanted to be alone in order to recover her composure. Almost unconsciously she took the path to a favorite spot with the young peo-, pie of both households, a clump of willows half way between the Trent and Hillis homesteads, where the boys years ago had built a rustic s e a t There she sat thinking, her eyes full of tears, her heart aching. "Oh, Rob, Rob," she 3ighed at last r.loud, "If I could only help you." "Well," exclaimed a merry voice, not at all that of a despairing lover'. "That's good news, because you can more than anyone else in the world. "That's good news." I was just on my way to tell you that I can't get along without you, and to ask you if you think you can be happy as a poor man's wife?" Chinamen Emigrating. The Englishman writing about Chinamen immigrating to Calcutta from the Canton districts, and then finding wives among the lower classes of the Eurasian community, makes the remark "that the children of these marriages are generally educated on western lines, that is to say, they are taught to speak, read and write English, and are given a grounding in arithmetic and accounts. They are then apprenticed to their fathers' trades. This fact may partly account for the rapidity with which Chinamen are ousting natives of India in the business of shoemaking and carpentry, which they have made their own in Calcutta." Burmah opens out a good field for Chinese immigration, says the Mandalay Herald, 'and the only wonder is that the government does not sufficiently encourage Chinamen immigrating hither. Down at Australasia Chinamen have flocked in shoals, some contracting marriages with European women, and from past experience have been found to be good factors and formidable rivals not only in commerce, but in the several handicrafts of trade, so much so that their Immigration into the colonies has been made prohibitive by taxes and other heavy obligations.—Lahore Tribune. Could Anybody Afford Her? "If ten men should ask you to marry them, what would that be?" "What would it be?" "A tender." "And tf one should ask you, what would that be?" "I don't know: what?" "A wonder."— Life. Tb* matter ot graalmr stock j m gorernment forest reserves has tor some time been the cause of considerable friction between ajtock growera and government pn>cia0a... Until within the past two years the Department ot i n - terior has prohibited the grating of herds, especially sheep, upon these reservations, but upon representations made by the officials of the National Live Stock Association this order was modified so as to permit grating, under certain restrictions. Gilford Pinchot, forester for the government, has submitted to the Association his ideas, subject to modifications. They are as follows: The Government, through its forest officers, after consultation with the representatives of the various interests involved, to decide on the number of head to be grated in each forest reserve, or each subdivision of a reserve, and to establish the boundaries between cattle range and sheep range. 2. The local associations to assign ranges to owners within the limits thus laid down, subject to official approval. 3. Both owners and local associations to be held'responsible tor the observance of the terms of permits and the prevention of fire and overgrazing. 4. Each sheep owner to have the exclusive right to his range, and the same to apply within reasonable limits to groups of cattle owners. 5. Permits to run for five years. 6. Residents to have precedence in all cases over tramp owners and owners from other states. 7. Local questions to be decided on local grounds and on their own merits in each separate case. 8. Since the forest reserves are usually summer ranges, provision to be made for necessary routes of transit 8. T B e policy of the Government to be based on regulation rather than prohibition, except in special cases, it being understood that the avoidance of overgrazing is equally in the interest of atl parties. Supply of Horae*. S. A. French, Franklin County, la.: Most of the stallions used here are either Norman or Clyde. The mares are mostly grades or some mixed breed. Probably fifty per cent of the farmers raise horses and they find the drafts the most profitable. A few raise carriage horses, but they are not as salable as the heavier horses. The supply of colts is about what it was before horses got so cheap. The present supply of marketable horses is considerably short of former years; for when the prices of horses fell so low, fewer colts were raised for two or three years and that has shortened the present supply. Except a few cases of distemper, no disease prevails and the condition of horses is good. John W. Brucker, Calumet County, Wis.: About one-fourth of our farmers raise colts, but not every year; perhaps one-half of that quarter raise colts every other year; still we have more 2- year-old colts than we had in 1894. We also have some three-year-olds— possibly half as many as our stock of two-year-olds. They are mostly roadsters weighing about 1,100 pounds on the average. Draft horses are most in demand and we have now some heavy Percherons and Clydes. The supply of horses that are ready for market is not as large as in previous years, though there are always some horses for sale. Horses are generally healthy and in good condition. J. E. Gray, Louisa County, Iowa: Relative to the supply of horses in our neighborhood, would say almost every farmer raises colts of some kind, mostly draft colts, say about threefourths of them. There are also some roadsters and a small number of coach horses. Horses of marketable condition are scarce and command good prices—$150 to $200 a head at home. A light attack of distemper and pink eye is affecting the horses on some farms; otherwise condition of horses is good.—Farmers' Review. • 1 « « The Fig »a«i the Dairy. Today the pig is considered almost an essential part of the dairy. There was a time when the by-product was ignored in every branch of farming, but that day has gone. The pig is the most successful utilizer of the dairy by-products and represents profits very largely. The dairyman can give the pig just what he n e e d s - clover and milk. This, with a little corn for finishing, is a diet on which the pig thrives. One dairyman says that his greatest obstacle in successful dairying is the finding of a market for his skimmilk. To a man so situated the pig is the natural means ot marketing the skimmilk. Enough pigs should be kept to use up all of this product, unless there is a profitable market for part of i t We have seen skimmilk sell at 20 cents per gallon, and then again we have seen it sell at one cent a gallon. The pig will pay at least five cents a gallon for it, and when pork is high in price will pay even more. Besides, he buys it without requiring the seller to pay any cost of marketing. Oar Farm Animal*. The total value ot all farm animals and live stock in the United States is more than $3,000,000,000. More than half that value (f 1,200,000,- 000) is in cews, oxen and other cattle. B t e c e v s * The following, is a moat interesting and, in one respect, pathetia talei— Mr. J. Pope, 42 Ferrar Road, Streataam, England, said: "Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead-- horse bolted, thrown off his seat o n his cab he was driving and killed— poor chap, and a good sort, too, mat*. It was him, you see, who gave me the half-bottle of S t Jacobs Oil that made a new man of me. 'Twas like this: me and Bowman were great friends. Some gentleman had given him a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which bad done him a lot of good; be only used half the bottle, and remembering that I had been a martyr t o rheumatism and sciatica for years, that I had literally tried everything, had doctors, and all without benefit, I became discouraged, and looked upon it that there was no help for me. Well," said Pope, "You may not believe me, for it is a miracle, but before I had used the contents of the balf-bottle of S t Jacobs Oil which poor Bowman gave me, I was a well man. There it is, you see, after years of pain, after using remedies, oils, embrocations, horse liniments, and spent money on doctors without getting any better, I was completely cured in a few days. I bought another bottle) thinking the pain might come back, but it did n o t so I gave the bottle away to a friend who had a lame back. I can't speak too highly of this wonderful painkiller." . _ Xankea la ROMI*. An American company has received a franchise to construct a street railway line in St. Petersburg which involves building an enormous bridge over the River Neva. The whole cost of the enterprise is estimated at 150,- 000.000 rubles. The franchise has already received the sanction of M. Witte, the minister of finance. In financial circles it is believed that this will have a powerful political and economical effect on the future of Russia and the United States. M. Witte certainly is anxious to develop a connection between the two countries and will have no hesitation in doing so even at the expense of France, though two strings to his bow will be better. Train Robber Plead* Gollty. Washington dispatch: Postoffice Inspector Houk has telegraphed that Walter Strattan, alias Ben Starne, one of the highwaymen who held up an M.

"He was leader of the gang," wires the inspector, "and is an escaped convict from the penitentiary in Tennessee." A Clergyman'* Dlscovarj. Fredericksburg, lnd., Dec. 2.—According to the positive declaration of Rev. E. P. Stevens of this place, that gentleman has found a remedy for all diseases of the kidneys and urinary orj».ns. For years he suffered severely with these complaints, incontinence of the urine, making life a burden to him, but he never ceased experimenting in the hope that some day he would dis- ! cover a remedy. After many failures he has at last succeeded and is today perfectly cured and a well man, and explains that his recovery is due to the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This remedy has been successfully applied to many cases of Lame Back, Rheumatism, Bright's Disease, Diabetes and other Kidney Diseases and there seems ' to be no case of the kind that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure. This is the only remedy that has, ever cured Bright's Disease. There is probably a time in the life of every man when his hand almost toifches the philosopher's stone.

The pacing habit is cpmmon among animals, says a writer in Scrtbuer's Magazine. Many animals pace—cattle, for instance; and. among dogs, setters. I believe pacing to be a rather more natural gait than trotting. Trotting, as it exists in our fast horses, is scarcely a natural gait, but is rather the result of breeding aud education.

Their friends lolt that they could not allow tbe sixty-fifth anniversary of their marriage to pass without some snita'.'le recognition of the event, so they quietly planned to visit the aged couple last Tuesday, and invited their pastor and wife to call early in the forenoon, as a sort of advance- guard, and while they were enjoying the visit, about sixty of their neighbors, including their son James A., from Oceana county, and their graudson and wife of Detroit, came in and offered then- congratulations and quietly proceeded to make themselves at home generally. The ladies had provided a generous supply of chicken pies and other eatables, and about one o'clock tbe seltinvited guests and hosts sat down to the loaded tables, and did ample justice to the occasion, after which Rev. Mr. Hicks called the company to order and in a brief address congratulated the bride and groom on their long matrimonial journey, and voiced the wishes of their many friends that they, might at least live to celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary. Mr. Chas. G. Smith made some addi- TiOEal remarks, retrospeeti^ery then all joined in singing, "God be with you till we meet again.,, The pastor then offered prayer, and the long to be remembered visit was over, and t!ie guests dispeised as quietly as they (ame. Out of respect for the feelings ot the old couple oo tangible expression of es teem in the way of suitable gifts were allowed, but the gentlemen present insisted that "Uncle John" shonld accept a Morris chair, which was provided for. Mr. and Mrs, Van Fleet are remarkably well preserved for their years, being 87 and 84 years of age. Six children have come to bless their home, of whom three survive, James A., John D., and Mary, living at home, and were all present Tuesday, and there are four grand children and one great grand child. During their whole married life they have never been separated over Sunday, and for over fifty years have been honored members ot the Methodist chuich on the Pinckney charge. They have experienced the hardships and privations incident upon pioneer life, and are now enjoying their well earned rest after years of faithful toil, and are looking toward life's golden sunset with a strong taith and buoyant hope of a blessed home "in the sweet bye and bye." • ONE WHO WAS THERE.

On the sixth of September. President McKlnley was shot by an anarchist while attending the Pan- American Exposition at Buffalo, and died la thai city on the fourteenth of that month. **Of the last seven elected Presidents, he is *"~ third who has been murdered, and the •» recital of this fact Is sufficient to jusgrave alarm among all loyal American •as. Moreover, the circumstances of this, third assassination of an American Preslit, have a peculiarly sinister significance. "". President Lincoln and President Garwere killed by assassins of types unfortunately not uncommon In history, President Aiacoln falling a victim to the terrible pas- .leteus aroused by' four years of civil war, •float President Garfield to the revengeful vanity of a disappointed office-seeker. President "meKlnley was killed by an utterly depraved - criminal belonging to that body of criminals who object to all governments, good and bad .<allke, who are agatnat any form of popular liberty if it la guaranteed by even the most «*t and literal laws,, and who are as hostile the uprrght exponent of a free people's sober will as to the tyrannical and lrresponsi- vhle despot The .President speaks In the highest terms of the personal and public virtues of Mr. Mc- Klnley. Describing the. nature of the assas- »n and the motive that Inspired it, the ige continues: Motive of t h o Assassin. "The blow was aimed not at this President, but at all Presidents at every symbol of government. The anarchist, and especially , „ tho anarchist in the United States, is merely ?? on* type of criminal, more dangerous than | *,. any other because he represents the same •depravity in a greater degree. The man who advocates anarchy directly or Indirectly, in « a y shape or fashion, or the man who apologises for anarchists and their deeds, makes himself morally accessory to murder before the fact. "The anarchist is a criminal whose perverted instincts lead him to prefer confusion and chaos to the most beneficent form of social order. His protest of concern for worklngmen Is outrageous In its impudent falaltT; for If the political institutions of this country do not afford opportunity to every honest and Intelligent son of toll, then tho door of hope is forever closed against him. 'The anarchist is everywhere not merely tho «a«my of system and progress, but the deadly foe of liberty. If ever anarchy Is triumphant Its triumph will last for but one red moment, to be succeeded for ages by the gloomy night of despotism. i Would Exclude Anarchists. ' *"1 earnestly recommend to tho Congress that in the exercise of its wise discretion it should take into consideration the coming to this country of anarchists or persons professing principles hostile to all government and Justifying the murder of those placed In authority. No matter calls more urgently for the wisest thought of the Congress. T h o Federal courts should be given ju^sdUottoa over any man who kills or attempts he fcUt tho President or any man who by the Os—tltutlon or by-law is in line of succession tor the Presidency, while the punishment for an unsuccessful attempt should be proportioned to the enormity of the offense • ogetnst our institutions. "Anarchy is a crime against the whole Stomas race; and all mankind should band against the anarchist. His crime should be -made an offense against the law of nations, *llke piracy and that form of manstealing ^kaewn as the slave trade for it is of far ttUeker infamy than either. It should be no declared by treaties among all civilized pow- Tho Trust Problem. "•'The creation of great corporate fortunes Jaas not been due to the tariff nor to any •other governmental action, but i) natural •causes in the business world,. operating in 'Other countries as they operate in our own. "It IS not true that as the rich have grown •richer the poor have grown poorer. On tho -«oatrary, never before has the average man, the wage-worker, the farmer, the small trader, been so well off as in this country an<l at the present time. There have been abuses connected with the accumulation of wealth; St ft remains true that a fortune accumujed only on condition of conferring immense incidental benefits upon others. Suceeasful enterprise, of the type which benefits All mankind, can only exist If the conditions *re such as to offer great prizes as the rewards of success. "The gaptains of industry who have driven -the railway systems across this continent, who have built up our commerce, who have •developed our manufactures, have on the whole done great good to our people. Without them the" material development of which wo are so Justly proud could never have taken place. Moreover, we should recognize tho immense importance to this material -development of leaving as unhampered oa ts compatible with the public good the strong •jnd forceful men upon whom the success gf business operations Inevitably rests. Caution Is Urged* "An additional reason for caution In dealrag with corporations is to be found in the International commercial conditions of today. The same business conditions which have produced the great aggregations of cor- . novate and individual wealth have made them vary potent factors in international commerota! competition. America has only just begun to assume that commanding position fa th* International business world which we VilttTt will more and more be hers. It is of tho utmost importance that this position -ho not jeoparded, especially at a time when 'tho overflowing abundanco of our own natural resources and the skill, business energy, • cad mechanical aptitude of our people make forotgn markets essential. Under such con- < CJtfoni It would be most unwise to cramp -or to fett* the youthful strength of our Station. "Disaster to great business enterprises can sever have its effects limited to the men at -tho top. It spreads throughout, and while it la bad for everybody, it is worst for those farthest down. The capitalist may be shorn • of his luxuries; but the wage-worker may <he deprived of even bare necessities. " "In facing new industrial conditions, tho '•hot* history of the world shows that legls- > lotion will generally be both unwise and in- ~e*Tecttve unless undertaken after calm inquiry •ssmd with sober self-restraint. Much of th* legislation directed at the trusts would have wsen exceedingly mischievous had it not also hoon entirely ineffective. In dealing with . hemreen interests, for th* government to un- «4ertak* by cruae ana ut-cousidcrod legislation to do want may turn out to be bad, would ho to incur the risk of such fer-reacbin* national disaster that it would be preferable to undertake nothing at an. "AH this is true; and yet it is also true that there are roal and grave evils, one of tho ohl*f being over-capitalisation because of its many beletjil consequences; and a resolut* and practical effort must b* mad* to correct thee* evils. Government SapervUloa, "It la no limitation upon property rights or freedom of contract to require that when men receive from government the privilege of doing business under corporate form, which frees them from individual responsibility, and enables them to call into their enterprises the .capital of the public, they shall do so upon absolutely truthful representations as to the value of the property in which the capital is to be invested. Corporations engaged in interstate commerce should be regulated if they are found to exercise s license working to the public injury. It should <he as much the aim of those who seek for social betterment to rid the business world of crimes of cunning as to rid th* entire body Silitlc of crimes of violence. Great corporaons exist only because they are created and safeguarded by our institutions and it Is therefore our right and our duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions. '• Publicity Bemody for Trusts* ''The first essential in det* mining how to deal with the great industrial combinations is knowledge of the facts—publicity. In the Interest of the public, the government should have the right to Inspect and examine the workings of the great corporations engaged In interstate business. Publicity is the only sure remedy which we can now Invoke. What further remedies are needed in th* way of governmental regulation, or taxation, can only be determined after publicity has been obtained, by process of law. and In the course, of administration. The first requisite is knowledge, full and complete—knowledge which may be made public to the world. "Artificial bodies, such as corporations and Joint stock or other associations, depending upon any statutory law for their existence or privileges, should be subject to proper governmental supervision, and full and accurst* Information as to their operations should bo made public regularly at reasonable intervals. "The large corporations, commonly called trusts, though organised in one state, always to business in many states, often doing very tittle business in the state where they are Incorporated. There is utter lack of uniformity in the state laws about them; and as ho state has any exclusive Interest in or power over their acts, it has in practice proved impossible to get adequate regulation through state action. Therefore, In the interest of the whole people, the Nation should, without Interfering with the power of the states in the matter Itself, also assume power of supervision and regulation over all corporations doing an interstate business. Thli is especially true where the corporation derives a portion of its wealth from the existence of some monopolistic element or tendency in its business. There would be no hardship in such supervision banks are subject to it, and in their case it is now accepted as a simple matter of course.' Indeed, It Is probable that supervision of corporations by the National government need not go so far as is now the case with the supervision exercised over them by so conservative a state as Massachusetts, in order to produce excellent results. "I believe that a law can be framed which will enable the Natlenal government to exercise control along the lines above indicated; profiting by the experience gained through the passage and administration of the Interstate- Commerce Act. If. however, the judgment of the Congress Is that It lacks tho constitutional power to pass such an ace, - en a constitutional amendment should be submitted to confer the power. "There should be created a Cabinet officer, to be known as Secretary of Commerce and Industries, as provided In the bill Introduced at the last session of the Congress. It should bo his province to deal with commerce in Its a broadest sense~in~ctueUBjT_ among- m * a v , other-J-of the country BhouTd be maQT"relponslve~| things whatever concerns labor and all ma; ters affecting the great business corporations and our merchant marine. Restriction on Immigration. "With the sole exception of the farming interest, no one matter is of such vital moment to our whole people as the welfare of the wage-workers. If the farmer and the wage-worker are well off, it is absolutely certain that all others will be well off, too. It is therefore a matter for hearty congratulation that on the whole wages are higher to-day in the United States than ever before In our history, and far higher than in any other country. The standard of living is also higher than ever before. Every effort of legislator and administrator should be bent to secure the permanency, of this condition -of things and its Improvement wherever possible. Not only must our labor be protected by the tariff, but It should also be protected so far as it Is possible from the presence in this country of any laborers brought over by contract, or of those who. coming freely, yet represent a standard of living so depressed that they can undersell our men in the labor market and drag them to_a^lower | cardinal provisions of that act were that level. I regard it as necessary, with this end in view, to re-enact immediately the law excluding Chinese laborers and to strengthen It wherever necessary In order to make ite enforcement entirely effective. "Our present immigration laws are unsatisfactory. We need every honest and efficient Immigrant fitted to become an American citizen, every Immigrant who comes here to stay, who brings here a strong body, a stout heart, a good head, and a resolute purpose to do his duty well in every way and to bring up his children as law-abiding and God-fearing members of the community. But there should be a comprehensive law enact' ed with the object of working a threefold improvement over our present 6ystem. First, we should aim to exclude absolutely not only all persons who are known to be believers In anarchistic principles or members of anarchistic societies, but also all persons who are of a low moral tendency or of unsavory reputation. This means that we should require a mere thorough system of inspection abroad and a more rigid system of examination at our Immigration porta, the former being especially necessary. 'The second object of a proper immigration law ought to be to secure by a careful and not merely pcr'unctcry educational test some intelligent capacity to appreciate American Institutions and act sanely as American citizens. This would not keep put all anarchists, for many of them belong to the Intelligent criminal class. But it would to wu.U is also In point, that is, tend to decrease the sum of ignorance, GO potent in producing the envy, suspicion, malignant passion; and hatred of order, out of which anarchistic sentiment inevitably springs. Finally, all persona shoutd be 'excluded who arc below a certain standard of economic fitness to enter our Industrial field as competitors with American labor. There should be proper proof of personal capacity to earn an American living and enough money to insure a decent start under American conditions. This would stop the influx of cheap labor, and the resulting competition which gives rise to so much of bitterness in American industrial life; and it would dry up the springs of the pestilential social conditions iff our groat cities, where anarchistic organizations have thair greatest possibility of growth. Question of Reciprocity. "There is general acquiesence in our present tariff system as a,national policy. The first requisite to our prosperity is the continuity and stability of this economic policy. Nothing could be more unwise than to disturb tho business interests of the country by any general tarifl change at this time. Doubt, apprehension, uncertainty are exactly what we wish to avoid In the interest of our commercial and material well-being. Our experience In the past b a * shown that sweeping revisions of tho tariff aro apt to produce conditions closely approaching panic in th* business world. Yet it is not only possible, but eminently desirable, to combine with the stability of our. economic system a supplementary system of reciprocal benefit and obll- !;ation with other nations. Such reciprocity s an Incident and result of the firm establishment a s l preservation of our present economic policy. It was specially provided for In the present tariff law. "Our first duty Is to see that the protection granted by the tariff in every case where it is needed Is maintained, and that reciprocity be sought for so far as It can safely be done without iniury to our home Industries. Just how far this Is must be determined according to itto luU.vidual laje, t*eu?mber.ng always that sv*ry application of our tariff nor- , TT duties must never be reduce* waftew thspolat^ heartica* g m t s * t » aw»^*W^WssaV ft that win cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad.

The phenomenal growth of our export trade emphasises the* urgency of the need > for wider markets and tor a liberal policy in dealing with foreigp nations. Whatever ii merely petty and vexatious in the way of trade* restriction* should be avoided. The customers to whom we dispose of our surplus products la* the long run, directly or indirectly, purchase those surplus products by giving us something in return. Their ability to purchase our product* should as far as possible be secured by so arranging our tariff as to enable us to take from them those products which w* can us* without harm to our own industries and labor, or th* use of which will be of marked benefit to us. "We have now reached the point in th* development of our Interests where we are not only able to supply our «own markets but to produce a constantly growing surplus for which we must find markets abroad. To secure these markets we can utilise existing duties in any case where they are no longer needed, for the purpose of protction. or in spy esse where the article 13 not produced here and the duty ts no longer necessary for revenue, £4 giving us something to offer In exchange for what we ask. The cordial relations with other nations which are so desirable will naturally be promoted by the course thus required by our own interests. "The natural line of development for a policy of reciprocity will be in connection with those of our productions which no longer require all of the support once needed *3 establish them upon a sound basis, and with those others where either because of natural or of economic causes we are beyond the reach of successful competition. "I ask the attention of the Senate to the reciprocity treaties laid before It by my predecessor. Our Xorohant Marine. "The condition of the American merchant marine is such as to call for immediate remedial action by the Congress. It is discreditable to us as a Nation that our merchant marine should be utterly insignificant in comparison to that of other nations which we overtop in other forms of business. "American shipping is under certain great disadvantages when put in competition with the shipping of foreign countries. Many of the fast foreign steamships, at a speed of fourteen knots or above, are subsidized; and all our ships, sailing vessels and steamers alike, cargo carriers of slow speed and mail carriers of high speed, have to meet the fsct that the original cost of building American ships is greater than is the case abroad: that the wages paid American officers end seamen are very much higher than those paid the officers and seamen of foreign competing countries; and that the standard of living on our ships is fsr superior to the standard of living on the ships of our commercial rivals. "Our government should take such action as will remedy these inequalities. The American merchant marine should be restored to ( the ocean. "The Act of March 14, 1900. intended unequivocally to establish gold as the standard money and to maintain at a parity therewith all forms of money medium in use with us, has been shown to be timely and judicious. The price of our government bonds In the world's market, when compared with the price of similar obligations issued by other nations, is a flattering tribute to our public credit. This condition it is eminently desliable to maintain. "In many respects the National Banking Law furnishes sufficient liberty for the proper exercise of the banking function but there seems to be need of better safeguards against the deranging influence of commercial crises and financial panics.

The Philippine Problem* "la the Philippines'our problem is larger. Th*y *r* very rich tropical islands, inhabited by^-many varying tribes, representing widely different stages of progress toward civilisation. Our earnest effort is to help these people upward along the stony and difficult path that tesds to self-government. We hope to make our administration of the islands honorable to our nation by making it of the highest benefit to the Filipinos themselves; and s i »0 earnest of what we Intend to do, we point to what we have done. Already a greater measure of material prosperity and of governmental honesty and efficiency has been attained in the Philippines than ever before in their history* "In dealing with the Philippine people w* must show both patience and strength, forbearance and etesdfast resolution. Our aim Is high. We do not desire to do for the islanders merely what has elsewhere been done for tropic peoples by even the best foreign governments. W hop* to do for them what has never before been done for any people of the* tropics—to make them fit for selfgovernment after the fashion of the really free nsttons. !bfj££fte^l4rs?ttW? fcsa hand la hand, "* lifteditogesSrTV trial or polHlcaf chaps, .wLfc.not wish to toe any old woOTrmrtft4w,powar grow up 0» this continent* .or to bq cojggeJled to heehaw ; i . . . • . - s ailltsry ptf#*r ourse'lv * peoples "To leave the islands at this time would comes as of right to the just man lean that they would fall into a welter of ] not the peace granted on terms cf h to the demands of our domestic trade and commerce. Redaction of Revenues. "The collections from duties on imports and internal taxes continue to exceed the ordinary expenditures. The utmost care should be taken not to reduce the revenues so that thre will be any possibility of a deficit; but, after providing against any such contingency, means should be adopted which will bring the revenues more nearly within the limit of our actual needs. "I call special attention to the need of strict economy in expenditures. The fact that our national needs forbid us to be niggardly in providing whatever Is actually necessary to our well-being, should make us doubly careful to husband our national resources, as each of us husbands his private resources, by scrupulous avoidance of anything like wasteful or reckless expenditure. Regulation of Railroads. In 1*87 a measure was enacted for the regulation of interstate railways, commonly known as the Interstate Commerce Act. Tho railway rates should be just and reasonable and that all shippers, localities, and commodities should be accorded equal treatment. A commission was created and endowed with what were supposed to be the necessary powers to execute the provisions of this act. "That law was largely an experiment. Experience has sb'.wn the wisdom of its purposes, but has also shown, possibly that some of its requirements are wrong, certainly that the means devised for the enforcement of its provisions are defective. "The set should be amended. The railway is a public servant. Its rates should be Just to and open to all shippers alike. The government should see to it that within its jurlsdictionthls is so and should provide a speedy,' Inexpensive, and effective remedy to that end. At the same time it must not be forgotten t\%t our railways are the arteries through wh/ch the commercial lifeblood of this nation flows. Nothing could be more foolish than the enactment of legislation which would unnecessarily interfere with the development and operation of these commercial agencies. The subject Is one of great Importance and calls for the earnest attention of the Congress. The message points out the value of the American forests and the necessity for their conservation, and urges the construction and maintenance of reservoirs and irrigating systems for the reclamation of the arid lands of the West. Of the water rights it says: "In the arid states the only right to water which should be recognised is that of use. In irrigation this right should attach to the land reclaimed and ba Inseparable therefrom. Gra&ttng perpetual water rights to others thau user*], without compensation to the public, is open to all the objections which apply to giving away perpetual franchises to the public utilities of cities. A few of the Western states have already recognized this and have incorporated in their constitutions the doctrine of perpetual state ownership of water. Development of Hawaii* "In Hawaii our aim must be to develop the territory on the traditional American lines. We do not wish a region of large cities tilled by cheap labor; we wish a healthy American community of men who themselves till 4he farms they own. All our legislation for the Islands should be shaped with this end in view; the well-being of the average homemaker must afford the true test of the healthy development of the islands. The land policy should as nearly as possible be modeled on our homestead system. "It Is a pleasure to say that It is hardly more necessary to report as to Porto Rico than as to any state or territory within our continental limits. The Island is thriving as nover before, and It Is being administered efficiently and honestly. Its people are now enjoying liberty and order under the protection of the United States, and upon this fact wo congratulate them and ourselves. Their material welfare must be as carefully and Jealously considered as th* welfare of any other portion of our country. Wo have given them the great gift of fr«e access for their products to the markets of the United States. I ask the attention of the Congress to the need of legislation concerning the public lands of Porto Rico. Progress In Cuba. "In Cubs such progress has been maAe toward putting the Independent government of the Island upon 0 firm footing tost before the present sr«ilon of the Congress closes this will be so accomplished fact, Cuba will then mean murderous anarchy. Such desertion of duty oh our part would be a crime against humanity. The character of Governor Taft and of his associates snd subordinates is a proof, If such be needed, of the sincerity of our effort to give the Islanders a constantly increasing measure of self-government, exactly as fast as they show themselves fit to exercise it. Since the civil government was established not an appointment has been made in the Islands with any reference to considerations of political Influence, or to aught else save the fitness of the man snd the needs of the service. "There mrt still troubles shead in the islands. The insurrection has become an affair of local banditti and*marauders, who deserve no higher regard than the brigands of portions of the old world. Encouragement, direct or indirect, to these insurrecto* stands on the same footing as encouragement to hostile Indians in the days when we still had Indian wars. As we will do everything in our power for the Filipino who is peaceful, we will take the sternest measures with the Filipinos who fellow the path of the Insurrecto and the ladrone. "The time hew come when there should be additional legislation for the Philippines. Nothing better can he done for the islands than to introduce industrial enterprises. Nothing would benefit' them so much as throwing them open to Industrial development. It is therefore necessary that the Congress should pass laws by which the resources of the Islands can be developed; so that franchises (for limited terms of years) can be granted to companies doing business in them, and every encouragement be given to the incoming of business men of every kind. "I call your attention ntost earnestly to the crying need of a cable to Hawaii and the Philippines, to be continued from the Philippines to points in Asia. We should not defer a day longer than necessary the construction of such a cable. It is demanded not merely for commercial but for political and military considerations. "Either the Congress should Immediately provide for the construction of a government cable, or else an arrangement should be made by which like advantages to those accruing from a government cable may be secured to the government by contract with a private cable company. Recommends Nicaragua* Canal. "No single great material work which remains to be undertaken on this continent Is of such consequence to the American people as the building of a canal across the Isthmus connecting North and Sduth America. While Its beneficial effects would perhaps be most marked upon the Pacific coast and the gulf and South Atlantic states, It would also greatly benefit other sections. It is emphatically a work which-It Is for the Interest of the entire country to begin and complete as soon as possible; it is one of those great works which only a great nation can undertake' with prospects of success, and which when done are not only permanent assets in the nation's material interests, but standing monuments to Its constructive ability. "I am glad to be able to announce to you that eur negotiations on this subject with Oreat Britain, conducted on both sides in a spirit of friendliness and mutual good will and respect, have resulted In my being able to lay before the Senate a treaty which If ratified will enable us to begin preparations for an Isthmian canal at any time, and which guarantees to this nation every right that it has ever asked in connection with the canal. In this treaty, the old Clayton-Buiwer treaty, so long recognised as Inadequate to supply the base for the construction and maintenance of a necessarily American ship canal, is abrogated. It specifically provides that the United States alone shall do the work of building and assume the responsibility of safeguarding the canal and shall regulate Its neuti f: use by all nations on terms of equality without the guaranty or interference of any outside- nation from any quarter. The signed treaty will at once be laid before the Senate, and if approved the Congress can then proceed to give effect to the advantages it secures us by providing for tho building of the canal. "The true end of every great and free people should be self-respecting peace; and this nation most earnestly dsslres sincere and cordial friendship with aJt others. Over the entire world, of recent yeera, wars between the greet civilized powers have become less and less frequent. Wars with barbarous or ami-barbarous peoples uome In an entirely different category, being merely a most regrettable but necescary international police duty which must be performed for the sake of the welfare of mankind. Peace can only be kept with certainty where both sides wish to keep it; but more aud more tho civilized peoples are realizing the wicked folly of war and are attaining that condition of just and intelligent regard far the rights of others which will la the eod, as we hope and believe, make weriaVwide peace possible. The peace conference at The Hague gave definite expression to this hope and belief and marked a stride toward their attainment. Tho Monroe Doctrine. "This same pesce conference acquiesced in our statement of the Monroe doctrine as compatible with the purposes and alms of the conference. "The Monroe doctrine should be the cardinal feature of the foreign policy of all the nations of the two Americas, as it is of the United States. The doctrine is a declaration that there must be no territorial aggranditeir »nt by any non-American power at tho expend* of any American power en American soil. It is in no wise intended ss hostile to any nation in the old world. Still l e u is it intended to give cover to any aggression by on* new world power at the expense of any other. It is simply s step, and a long step, toward assuring the universal peace of the world by securing the possibility of permanent peace on this hemisphere. "This doctrine has nothing to do with the commercial relations of any American powsr, save that it In truth allows each of them to form such a* it desires. In other words, it is realty a guaranty of the commercial independence of the Americas. We do not ask under this doctrine for any exclusive commercial dealings with any other Americas state. W* do not guarantee any state against punishment if it misconducts Itself; provided that punishment does not take the form of t h e acquisition of territory by any non-American power, "Our attitude in Cuba Is a sufficient guaranty of eur owv good faith. We hav* not th* Americas can prosper best if left to work our their own salvatichtn their own way. >owerful:'lftiew- 'fJegped* "The work of u^buUeW-th* nSvy must h* steadily continued. Whether wedeslre It m not; we must henceforth recognise th«t we> have intsrnatlonsl duties no less than International rights. Even- If our nag-were hauled down in the Philippines and Forte Rioo, even if we decided not to build the Isthmian canal, we should need *> thoroughly trained navy of adequate sine, or else he prepared definitely and for sll time 4» abandon th* idea that our nation Is among thoMjrtuo* sqns go down to th* nea Hi ships. Unless our oommeroe is always to he carried in foreign bottoms, we must have way craft to protect it. "Probably no other great nation In tho world is so anxious for peace as we are. There |s not a single civilised power which has anything whatever to fear from aggressiveness on our part. All we want w peace; and toward this end we wish to ho able to secure th* same respect for our rights in return, to insure fair treatment to us commercially, and to guarantee the safety of the American people. "Our people intend to abide by the Monro* doctrine and to insist upon it as the one sure means of securing the peace of the Western hemisphere. The .navy offers as tho only means of making our insistence upon the Monroe doctrine anything but a subject of derision to whatever nation chooses) to disregard it. We desire the peace which armed; ignominy to the craven and the weakling. "It is not possible to improvise a navy after war breaks out. The ships must ho built and the men trained long- in advance. In the late war with Spain the ships that dealt the decisive blows st Manila and Santiago had been launched from two to fourteen years, and they were able to do as they did because the men in the conning towers, the gun turrets and the engine-rooms had through long years of practice at sea learned* bow to do their duty. "It was forethought and preparation which secured us the overwhelming triumph of ISM. If we fail to show forethought ana preparation now. these may come a time when disaster will befall u s instead Of triumph; and should this tisse come, the fault will rest' primarily, net upon these whom the accident of events; puts iw supreme command at the moment, hut upon thee* who hav* failed* to prepare in advance. "There should be no cessation in the work of completing our navy. It Is unsafe and unwise not to provide this year for severs I additional battleships an* heavy armored cruisers, with auxiliary and! lighter craft In proportion; for the exact numbers and character I refer you to the report of th* Secretary of the Navy. But there ie something we> need even more than additions! ships, snd this is additional officers and! men. To provide battleships and cruisers sad then lay them up, with the expectation of leaving them unmanned until they are needed In actual war, would be worse than folly; it would be a crime against the nation. "To send any warship against a competent enemy unless those aboard It have been trained by years of actual sea service, including Incessant gunnery practice, would beto Invite not merely disaster, but the bitterest shame and humiliation. Four thousand additional seamen and one thousand additional marines should be provided; and an Increase In the officers should' be provided by making a large addition to the classes at Annapolis. ' Our Present Naval Forco. "We now have seventeen battleships- appropriated for, of which nine are complete* and have been Commissioned for- actual service. The remaining eight will, be ready in from two to four years, but It will take at least that time to recruit and train the men to fight them. It is of vast concern that wo have trained crews ready for the vessels by the tlm# they are commissioned. Good- ships and good guns are simply good weapons, and the best weapons are useless save In the hands of men who know how to fight with them. The men must be trained and drilled; under a thorough and well-planned system of progressive instruction, while the recruiting must be carried on with still greater vigor. "The naval militia forces are state organ!- atlons, snd are trained for coast service, and1 in event of war they will constitute the inner line of defense. They should receive hearty encouragement from the general government. "But in addition we should at once provide for a National Naval Reserve, organised. and trained under the direction of the Navy Department, and subject to the call of the Chief Executive whenever war becomes Imminent. It should be a real auxiliary to the naval seagoing peace establishment, and offer material to be drawn on at once for manning our ships in time of war. It should, be composed of graduates of the Naval Academy, graduates of the Naval Militia, officers and crews of coast-line steamers, longshore' schooners, fishing vessels and steam yachts, together with the coast population about such centers as life-saving stations and. lighthouses. Need for Powerful Nevoy* "The American people must either build and maintain an adequate navy or else make up their minds definitely., to acoept a secondary position in International affairs, not merely in political, but in commercial, matters. It has been well said: that there Ie no* surer way of courting national disaster than to be 'opulent, aggressive, and. unarmed.' "It is not necessary to increase our army beyond its present size at this. time. But it is necessary to keep it at the highest point. of efficiency. '"Every effort should be made- to. bring the> army to a constantly increasing state of efficiency. When on actual service no work save that directly in the line of such serv-iee should be required. The paper work In tho army, as In the navy, should be greatly reduced. What ia~ needed is proved power of command and capacity to work well In the field. Constant care is necessary to> prevent dry rot in the transportation and commissary departments. "The Congress should provide mease whereby it will be possible to have field exercises by at least a division of regulars, and it possible also a division of national guardsmen, once & year. "Only actual handling and proTidlag for men in masses while they are marching, camping, embarking, and disembarking, will It be possible to train the higher officers to perform their duties well and smoothly. MUltla Laws Obsolete, "Actioa should be taken, in reference to th* militia and to the raising ef volunteer forces. Our militia law is obsolete and worthless. The organisation and armament of the National Guard of the several states, which sre treated as militia In t*e appropriations by the Congress, should be made, identical with those provided for th* regular foroea. The obligations and duties ot the Guard tn time of war should be carefully defined, and a system established by law under which the method of procedure of raising volunteer fore** should be prescribed in advance. It is utterly impossible in the excitement and haste of impending war to do this satisfactorily If the arrangements have not been mad* long beforehand, Provision should be made for utilising in the first volunteer organisations called out the training of those citizens who have already had experience under arms, a'«A especially for the selection in advance of tho officers of any force which may be raised; for careful selection of the kind necessary is Impossible after the outbreak ef war.

"Oh, not yet!" he cried in aa imploring tone, as if it were as she willed. "Not just yet; I hope to see you return from exile. Let us say farewell while we are alone " She spoke the last words hurriedly, for footsteps were heard. Gerard snatched her to him, and laid his face upon hers." "What cover did you say the book had?" demanded Frances Chenevix of Gerard, who was then leaning back on the sofa, apparently waiting for her. "A mottled? I cannot see anything like it." "No? I am sorry to have given you the trouble, Fanny. It has gone, perhaps, amongst the 'has beens.'" "Listen7" said AIice~~removing her hand from before her face, "that was a carriage Btopped.

"I am sorry things go so cross just now, with you, Gerard," whispered Lady Frances. "You will be very dull over there." "Ay; fit to hang myself, if you knew all. And the bracelet may turn up, and Lady Sarah be sporting it on her arm again and I never know that the cloud is off for me. No chance that any of you will be at the trouble of writing to a fellow." "I will," said Lady Frances. "Whether the bracelet turns up or not, I will write you sometimes, if you like, Gerard, and give you all the news." "You are a good girl, Fanny," returned he, in a brighter accent, "and I will send you my address as soon as I have got one.

Walt* House, December 3, UOL CHAPTER XII. I . The stately rooms of one of the finest houses in London were open for the reception of evening guests. Wax lights, looking innumerable when reflected from the mirrors, shed-their rays on the gilded decorations, on the fine paintings, and on the gorgeous dresses of the ladies; the enlivening strains of the band invited to the dance and the rare exotics emitted a sweet perfume. It was the West Bud residence of a famed and wealthy city merchant of lofty standing; his young wife was an earl's daughter and the admission to the house of Mr. and Mrs. Lady Adela Netherleigh was coveted by the gay world. "There's a mishap!"almost screamed a pretty looking girl. She had dropped her handkerchief and stooped for it, and her partner stooped also; in his hurry he put his foot upon her t&in, white dress, she rose at the same moment and the bottom of her skirt was torn half off. "Quite impossible that I can finish the quadrille," quoth she to htm, half in amusement, half provoked at the misfortune. "You must find another partner, and I will go and get this repaired." She went upstairs; by some neglect, the lady's maid was not in attendance, and too Impatient to ring and wait for her, down she flew to the housekeeper's parlor. She was Quite at home In the house, for she was the sister of Its mistress. She had gathered the damaged dress up in her arms, hut her white petticoat fell in rich folds around her. "Just look, what an object that stupid " And there stopped the young lady; for instead of the housekeeper and lady's maid, whom she expected to meet, nobody was in the room but a gentleman—a tall handsome man. She looked thunderstruck; and then slowly advancing and staring at him as if not believing her own eyes. "My goodness, Gerard! Well, I should just as soon have expected to meet the dead here." "How are you, Lady Frances?" ho said, holding out his hand with hesitation. "Lady Frances! I am much obliged to you for your formality. Lady Frances returns her thanks to Mr. Hope for his polite inquiries," continued she in a tone of pique, and honoring him with a swimming ceremony of courtesy. He caught her hand. "Forgive me, Fanny, but our positions are altered— at least mine us; and how did I know that you were not?" "You are an ungrateful—raven," cried she. "to croak like that After getting me to write you no end of letters and all the news about everybody, beginning 'My dear Gerard,' and ending *Your affectionate Fanny,' and being as good to you as a sister, you meet me with 'My Lady Frances!' Now, don't squeeze my hand to atoms. What on earth have you come to England for?" "I could not stop there," he returned with emotion; "I was fretting away my heartstrings. So I took my resolution and came back; guess in what way, Frances, and what to do." "How should I know? To call me 'Lady Frances,', perhaps." "As a clerk; a clerk to earn my bread. That's what I am now. Very consistent, is it not, for one in my position to address familiarly Lady Frances Chenevix?" "YouTnever spoke a grain of sense in your live, Gerard," she exclaimed, peevishly. "What do you mean?" "Mr". Netherleigh has taken me into his counting house." "Mr. Netherleigh!" she echoed in surprise. "What, with that—that " "That crime hanging over me. Speak up, Frances." "No; I was going to say that doubt. I don't believe you guilty; you know that, Gerard." "I am in his house, Frances, and I came up here tonight from the city to bring a note from his partner. I declined any of the reception rooms, not caring to meet old acquaintances, and the servants put me into this." "But you had a mountain of debts in England, Gerard, and were afraid of arrest." "I have managed that; they are going to let me square up by installments. Has the bracelet never been heard of?" "Oh, that's gone for good; melted down in a caldron, as the Colonel calls it, and the diamonds reset. It remains a mystery of the past, and is never expected to be solved." "And they will suspect me! What is the matter with your dress?" "Matter enough," answered she. letting it down, and turning round for his inspection. "I came here to get it repaired. My great booby of a partner did it for me." "Fanny, how is Alice Seaton?" "You have cause to ask for her. She is dying." "Dying!" repeated Mr. Hope in a hushed, shocked tone. "I do not mean actually dying this night, or going to die tomorrow; but she is dying by slow degrees, there is no doubt. It way be weeks oft yet; I cannot tell." "Where is'she?" "Curious to say, she is where you left her—at Lady Sarah Hope's. Alice could not bear the house after the loss of the bracelet, for she was so obstinate and foolish as to persist that the servants must suspect her even if Lady Sarah did not. She felt, and this spring Lady Sarah saw her, and was so shocked at the change in her, the extent to which she had wasted away, that she brought- her to town by main force, and we and the doctors are trying to nurse her up. It seems of no use." - "Are you also . staying at Colonel Hope's again?" "I invited myself there a week or two ago to be with Alice. It is pleasahter, too, than being at home." "I suppose the Hopes are her tonight?" "My sister is. I do not think your uncle has come yet" "Does he ever speak of me. leas resentfully?" "Not he; I think his storming over a it has only made his suspicions stronger. Not, a weak panes but ha begins again afcont that dateatabla bracelet, He i* unalterably persfuad«L thai yon took it, and nobody must dare put in a word in your defease." ' "And does your sister honor mo with the same belief?" demanded Mr. Hope bitterly. "Lady Sarah is silent on the point to me; 1 think she scarcely knows what i<y belieye. You see I tell you all freely, Gerard." CHAPTER XIII. Before another word could be apok« en Mr. Netherleigh entered. An aristocratic man, with a noble countenance. He bore a sealed note for Mr. Hope to deliver in the city. "Why, Fanny!" he exclaimed to his sister-in-law, "you here?" "Yes; look at the sight they have made me," replied she, shaking down her dress for his benefit, as she had previously done for Mr. Hope. "I am waiting for some one of the damsels to mend it for me. I suppose . Mr. Hope's presence has scared them away. Won't mamma be in a fit of rage when she sees it, for it was new tonight." Gerard Hope shook hands with Lady Frances, and, Mr. Netherleigh, who had a word of direction to give him, walked with him into the hall. As they stood there, who should enter but Colonel Hope, Gerard's uncle. He started back when he saw Gerard. . "C—a—can I believe my senses?" stuttered he. "Mr. Netherleigh, is he one of your guests?" "He is here on business," was the merchant's reply. "Pass on, Colonel." "No, sir, I will not pass oiC cried the enraged Colonel, who had not rightly caught the word business. "Or if I do pass on, it will only be to warn your guests to take care of their jewelry. "No, sir," he added, turning to his nephew, "you can come back, can you, when the proceeds of your theft is spent! You have been starring it in Calais, I hear; how long did the bracelet last you to live upon?" "Sir," answered Gerard, with a pale face, "it has been starving rather than starring. I asserted my innocence at the time, Colonel Hope, and I repeat it now." "Innocence!" ironically repeated the Colonel, turning to all sides of the hall, as if he took delight in parading the details of the unfortunate past "The trinkets were spread on- a table in Lady Sarah's own house. You came stealthily into it—after being forbidden it for another fault—went stealthily into the room, and the next minute the diamond bracelet was missing. It was owing to my confounded folly in listening to a parcel of women that I did not bring you to trial at the time; I have only once regretted not doing it, and that has been ever sinee. A little wholesome correction at the penitentiary might have made an honest man of you. Good-night, Mr. Netherleigh! If you encourage him in your house, you don't have me." Now another gentleman had entered and heard this; some servants also heard it. Colonel Hope, who firmly believed in his nephew's guilt, turned off peppery and indignant; and Gerard, giving vent to sundry unnephewlike expletives, strode after him. The Colonel made a dash into a street cab and Gerard walked towards the city. Lady Frances Chenevix, her dress right again, at least to appearance, was sitting to get her breath after a whirling waltz. Next to her sat a lady who had also been whirling. Frances did not know her. "You are quite exhausted; we kept it up too long," said the cavalier in attendance on the stranger. "What can I get for you?" 'My fan; there it is. Thank you. Nothing else." "What an old creature to dance herself down!" thought Frances. "She's 40. if she's a day." The lady opened her fan and proceeded to use it, the diamonds of her rich bracelet gleamed right in the eyes of Lady Frances Chenevix. Frances looked at it and started, she strained her eyes and looked again; she bent nearer to it and became agitated with her emotion. If her recollection did not play her false, that was the lost bracelet. She discerned her sister. Lady Adela Netherleigh. and glided up to her. "Adela, who is that lady?" she asked pointing to the stranger. "I don't know who she 1B," replied Lady Adela, carelessly. "I did not catch the name. They came with the Cadogans." "The idea of your having people in your house that you don't know!" indignantly spoke Frances, who was working herself into a fever. "Where's Sarah, do you know that?"

Subscribe for the DISPATCH united even those that had voted against local option, in praise of law. All of the leading nien of the county are strongly in favor of non-license because of the improvement in business since the saloons were abolished. One of the leading bankers told him that before they got local option there was but one bank in theu town and it doing a small business. Now there are two and each one doing twice the business the former one did. This indicates that the business of the town is 4 times what it was under license. The jail record shows the following: Drunks and disorderlies confined during the license years of 1882-3-4, 116; during the local option years 1892-3-4, 47. A decrease of more than half. An effort is being made in Liv. Co. to have the local option law submitted to the people for vote next spring at the election. It is a great mystery to many as to how the vote of the men in the various parties can%e unified without the creation of a new party. It is very simple. Right here the local. option laws come in- to h«lp in the very work which the anti-saloon league advocates. The law provides tnat the ballot shall be printed separate from any party ballot, thus: Are you in favor of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in Livingston County? • Are you in favor of prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating 9 liquors iu Livingston County? • Now when a man goes to the polls what is to hinder him from voting his party tioket and voting this slip against the saloon? Nothing! What will happen when this takes place? What is to hinder its taking? Nothing to hinder it because it provides a perfect ground of unification by the elimination of party politics entirely from the question and appeals to every mau ou moral grounds alone in the interests of his boy and girl his wife and neighbors. When can we do it? Now, this very minute you can get at i t No waiting for party campaigns; the object and work is before you now. In the name of God stop party quarreling and take hold of this intensely practical Work. Petitions are being circulated asking the" supervisors to submit this question to the people next spring.

On one occasion, in trying an abduction case, Lord Morris, once chief justice of Ireland, addressed the jury as follows: "I am compelled to direct you to find a verdict of guilty in this 'case, but you will easily see that I think it Is a trifling thing, which I regard as quite unfit to occupy my time. It Is more valuable than yours. At any rate, it is much better paid for. Find, therefore, the prisoner guilty of abduction,, which rests, mind ye, on four points— the father was not averse, the mother was not opposed, the girl was willing and the boy was convaynient." The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the judge sentenced him to remain in the dock till the rising of the court. Hardly had he delivered sentence than, turning to the sheriff, Lord Morris said: "Let us go," and, looking at the prisoner, he called across the court, "Marry the girl at once, and God bless you both."

After the visit of Mr. Brownell who was looking the matter up Mr. Birkett was waiting lor a letter which arrived Dec. 2, part of which is published below :^ "As to the electric road project: I was very favorably impressed with he route frdm your place (Dover) to Pinckney, Mason and Lansing, and so reported. From your residence the J line could run east via of Hudson and I tbe old state r « d to Plymouth and Detroit or to t>%ter to connect with the Boland or Ha^kes-Angus line, or both ae tbere would probably be business sufncMdt^om Dexter and that territory to warrant building the four miles from H melton to Dexter, if the main line should be built via of Plymouth.

"It's a dead body. What I want is old Ephraim, and I'll giv« you $20 if you'll help me get him." "An' if we git caught?" said John Henry dubiously. "Oh, we'll be hanged, of course," said ISmsUe cheerfully. "Are you willing to take the chances for $20?" John Henry said he thought he was, "Very well, then," said Emslie. "Meet me iit 12 tonight at the colored graveyard and bring a spade with you." John Henry promised to do so, and Emslie returned to Bloodgood and the rest to report. "The black rascal!" said Bloodgood in disgust. "Didn't I tell you he'd rob the dead?" The night was without a moon, and everything favored the iniquitous proceeding. At 12 Emslie met John Henry at the designated place, which was not a cheerful one, to say the least, for an appointment "Well, you're here, I see," he said. "Have you brought a spade with you? Now show me old Ephraim's grave." John Henry led the way through a tangle of blackberry vines and creepers. His knees were beginning to knock under him. "Now dig," commanded Emslie when the other paused before a freshly made mound. "Let's get through with this business as soon as we can." | John Henry took off his coat preparatory to begiuning tus ghastly work.

Gentlemen, go outride and have your guns ready. As the prisoner runs blaze away at him as many times as you like, and If he gets off with his life well and good." John Henry started, and for awhile it sounded \lke bellum times. Once he fell, and a gun was placed very close to the seat of his breeches; but. oddly enough, he was upon his feet again after the discharge. He never knew that the guns were all loaded with blank cartridges, and as he got oat of gunshot It seemed to him that he was wounded in a hundred places. From that time John Henry waa an exemplary negro. aenger recently brought a not© to an English official and the latter observed soinethiDg resembling a boy's popgun hanging by the messenger's aide.' .Curiosity prompted him to ask the native what it was. and he was surprised to find that it was a machine for making fire. v- The native exhibited the apparatus and explained tbe working,- concluding with a practical demonstration. It was a tube, closed ^t one end ami fitted with a piston. t U the end of the piston was a groove or cavity, smeared with was, which was used for making thread or inflammable material adhere to It The tinder, to keep the old name, is pressed on the wax when a light is required and is not kept there always. Placing tbe wisp qf cotton on the wax, the native inserted the tightly fitting piston in the tube, then forced it along the latterby giving it a sharp blow. On withdrawing the piston the cotton was found to be alight, having been Ignited by tbe concussion with the compressed air.—Pearson's Weekly.

Few Americans are aware of the fact that the name of their continent Is due to a German scholar. In 1507 Martro. Waldseemuller, also known as Hylacomylus, of St. Die, in the Vosges, edited a book called "Cosinographiae Introductio," in which he gave a translation of Amerigo Vespucci's description of his voyages. That was just the time when Amerigo's fame filled the world, while Columbus' disgrace overshadowed hifc merit, and evidently his name had never reached the quiet village in the Vosges •when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that, since the new continent was, after all, not a part of the Indies, no name would suit it better than that of his famous explorer, Amerigo., The book was read far Rnd wide, and so quickly was the proposition accepted that, when later on the true discoverer was known, the name was already rooted too deeply in general use to be abolished, and was even extended to the north part of the continent, while Hylacomylus had only meant it for the present South America.—National Geographic Magazine.

E * * t L y n n * , E t a CHAPTER XIII.—(Continued.) * I t looks exactly the same—gold l i n k s , interspersed with diamonds, and t h e clasp is the same—three stars. A tall, ugly woman has got it on, her black hair strained off her face." "The hair strained off her face Is •enough to make any woman look ugly," remarked Lady Sarah. "Where is she?" "There; she is standing up now; let « 8 get close to her. Her dress is that teaiitiful maize color with blonde lace." Lady Sarah Hope drew near and obtained a sight of the bracelet The color flew into her face. "It's mine, Fanny," she whispered. But the lady at that moment, took a gentleman's arm and moved away. Lady Sarah followed her, with the view of obtaining another look. Frances Chenevix went to Mr. Netherleigh and told him. He was hard of belief. "You cannot be sure at this distance of time, Fanny. And besides more bracelets than one may have been made of that pattern. "I am so certain that I feel as if I could swear to the bracelet," eagerly replied Lady Frances. "Hush, hush, Fanny." "I recollect it perfectly; it struck me t h e moment I saw it. How singular that I should have been talking to Gerard Hope about it this night. Mr. Netherleigh smiled. "Imagination is very deceptive, Frances, and your having spoken to Jfr. Hope of it brought it to your thoughts. "But it could not have been brought t o my eyes," returned Frances. "Stuff raod nonsense about imagination, Mr. Netherleigh. I am positive it is the bracelet. Her comes Lady Sarah", "I suppose Frances has been telling you," observed Lady Sarah Hope to hex brother-in-law. "I feel convinced i t is my ewn bracelet." "But—as I have just remarked to Frances—other bracelets than yours w a y have been made precisely simllar," he urged. "If it is rn^ne the letters 4S. H.' are scratched on the back of the middle Etar. I did it one cUy with a penknife." '"You never mentioned the fact before. Lady Sarah," hastily responded • the merchant. • "No. I was determined to give no d u e . I was always afraid of the affair being traced home to Gerard, and it would have been such a disgrace to m y husband's name." "Did you speak to her? Did you ask where she got the bracelet?" interrupted Frances. "'How could I?" retorted Lady Sarah. "J did not know her." T will," cried Frances in a resolute time, "My dear Frances," remonstrated Mr. Netherleigh. "I vow I will," persisted Frances, ias she moved away. l A d y Frances kept her word. She found the strange lady in the refreshments, and locating herself by her side, entered upon a few trifling remarks, which were civilly received. Suddenly she dashed at once to her .subject. "What a beautiful bracelet!" *'I think it is," was the stranger's reply, holding out her arm for its inspection, without any reservation. "Where did you buy it?1' pursued Frances. "Garrards are my jewelers." CHAPTER XIV. "This very nearly did for Frances; t o r it was at Garrards' that the Colon e l originally purchased it, and it «eemed to give a coloring to Mr. Netherleigh's view of more bracelets havi n g been made of the same pattern. B n t she was too anxious and determine d to stand upon ceremony—for Gerard's sake; and he.was, dearer.to her than the world suspected. "We—one of my family—lost a bracelet exactly like this, some time back. When I saw it on your arm, I thought it was the same; [ hoped it was." The lady froze directly and laid • down her arm. "Arc you—pardon me. there are. painful interests involved—are you sure you purchased this at Garrard's?" "I have said that Mes3rs. Garrard are my jewelers," replied the stranger 1¾ a repelling voice; and the words sounded evasive to Frances. "More I cannot ray; neither am I aware by what lav.' cf courtesy you thus question in?•, ov who you may be." The ycv.n? lady drew herself up, proudly s u u i c in her rank.' *'I pn: Lady Frances Chenevix," and t h e other, bowed and turncxl to the refrr.: hr..cr:t table. Away wcr.t Lady Frances to find the 'CadbrdriS, and inquire after the : stranger. It was a Lsdy Livingstons. The hussomething, had been knighted, and now they were launching out into high society, Frances' nose went into the air. O law! a city knight and his wife! that was it, was it? How could Mrs. Cadogan have taken up with them? The Honorable Mrs. Cadogan did not choose to say beyond the assertion that they were extremely worthy, good, kind people. She could have said that her spendthrift of a husband had contrived to borrow money from Sir Jasper Livingstone, and to prevent being bothered for it, and keep them in humor, they introduced the Livingstones where they could. Frances Chenevix went home—that is, to Colonel Hope's—and told her strange tale to Alice Seaton; not only about Gerard being in England, but about the bracelet.. "Alice, it is the bracelet. I am more certain than ever. Garrard's people say they have sold articles of jewelry to Lady Livingstone, but not a diamond bracelet, and, moreover, that they never had one of that precise pattern, but the bracelet Colonel Hope bought." "What is to be done?" exclaimed Alice. "I know. I shall go to those Livingstone's. Gerard shall not stay under this cloud if I can help him out of i t Mr. Netherleigh won't act, and we dare not tell the Colonel; he is so obstinate and wrong-headed, he would be for arresting Gerard, pending the investigation." "Frances—" "Now don't you preach, Alice. When I will a thing, I will. I am like my lady mother for that. Lady Sarah says she scratched her initials inside the bracelet, and I shall demand to see it; if these Livingstones refuse, I'll put detectives on the scent. I will, as sure as my name is Frances Chenevix." "And if the investigation should brkig the guilt home to—to—Gerard?" whispered Alice, in a hollow tone. "And if it should bring it home to "I am worse than I look. I am going into the grave' rapidly. Other, less sensitive, or with stronger bodily health, might have battled' successfully with the distress and annoyance; I could n o t I shall die in greater peace if this Unhappy affair can be cleared. Should it prove to be the same bracelet, we might be able to trace out how it was lost" mm m i m you! and if it shoulcrbring it home to~ b o U g h t ; - ^ ^ did not consider myself" m p ' " a n n u a tna e v o c n o r a t o H F V n n n o s . . . . . , *.%_*. M *. *. called upon to proclaim that fact to a 1 f •* * fl *•»•* o Qiicy at me!" spoke the exasperated Frances. "For shame, Alice; it cannot bring it home to Gerard, for he was never guilty." Alice Seaton sighed; she saw there was no help for it, for Lady Frances was resolute. "I have a deeper stake in this than you," she said, aft'er a pause of consideration; "let me go to the Livingstones. You must not refuse me; I have an urgent motive for wishing it." "You, you weak mite of a thing! you would faint before you got half through the interview," uttered Lady Frances, In a tone between jest and vexation. Alice persisted. She had, indeed, a powerful reason for urging it, and Lady Frances allowed the point, though with much grumbling. The carriage was still at the door, for Lady Frances had desired that it should wait, and Alice hastily dressed herself and went down to it, without speaking to Lady Sarah. The footman was closing the door upon her, when out flew Frances. "Alice, I have made up my mind to go with you, for I cannot guard my patience until you are back again. ' I can sit in the carriage while you go in. Lady Livingstone will be two feet higher from today—that the world should have been amazed with the spectacle of Lady Frances Chenevix waiting humbly at her door." Frances talked incessantly on the road, but Alice was silent; she was deliberating what she should say, and was nerving herself to the task. Lady Livingstone was at home, and Alice sending in her card, was conducted to her presence, leaving Lady Frances in her carriage. Lady Frances had thus described her; a woman as thin as a whipping post, with a red nose; and Alice found Lady Livingstone answer to it very well. Sir Jasper, who was also present, was much older than his wife, and short and thick; a good-natured looking man with a bald head. Alice, refined and sensitive, scarcely knew how she opened her subject, but she was met in a different manner from what she had expected. The knight and his wlfo were really worthy people, as Mrs. Cadogan had said, only she had a mania for getting into "high life and high-lived company," a thing she would never accomplish. She listened to Allcs's talc with courtesy, and at length with interest. "You will readily conceive the nightmare t.hl3 has been to me," panted Alice, for her emotion was great. "The bracelet was under my charge and it disappeared in this extraordinary way. All the trouble it has been productive of to me, I am not at liberty to tell you, but It has certainly shortened my life." "You look ill," observed Lady Liv- Vi-stoae, with sympathy. CHAPTER XV. Lady Livingstone left the room and returned- with a diamond bracelet She held it out to Miss Seaton, and the color rushed into Alice's poor, wan face at the gleam of the diamonds. She believed she recognized them. "But, stay," she said, drawing back her hand, as she was about to touch it, "do not give it me Just yet. Tf it be the one we lost, the letters S. H. are scratched irregularly on the back of the middle clasp. Perhaps you will first look if they are there, Lady Livingstone." Lady Livingstone turned the bracelet, glanced at the spot indicated, and then silently handed it to Sir Jasper. The latter smiled. "Sure enough, here's something—I can't see It distinctly without my glasses. What is it, Lady Livingstone?" "The letters S. H. as Miss Seaton describes; I cannot deny it." "Deny it! No, my lady, what for should we deny it? If we are in the possession of another's bracelet lost by fraud, and if the discovery will set this young lady's mind at ease, I don't think either you or I will be the one to deny it. Examine it for yourself, ma'am," added he, giving it to Alice. She turned it about, she put it on her arm, her eyes lighted with the eagerness of conviction. "It 13 certainly the same bracelet," ahe affirmed. "It Is not beyond the range of possibility that Initials may have been scratched on this bracelet without its being the same," observed Lady Livingstone. "I think it must be the same," mused Sir Jasper. "It looks suspicious." "Lady Frances Chenevix understood you to say you bought this of Messrs. Garrard," resumed Miss Seaton. Lady Livingstone felt rather foolish. "What I said was that Messrs. Garrard were my Jewelers. The fact is I do not know exactly where this was young lady who was a stranger to me, and in answer to questions I thought verging on impertinence." "Her anxiety, scarcely less than my own, may have rendered her abrupt," replied Alice, by way of apology for Lady Frances. "Our hope is not so much to regain the bracelet as to penetrate the mystery of its disappearance. Can you not let me know where you did buy it?" "I can," interposed Sir Jasper; "there's no disgrace in having bought it where I did. I got it at a pawnbroker's." Alice's heart beat violently. A pawnbroker's! what dreaded discovery was at hand? "I was one day at the east end of London walking past, when I saw a topaz and amethyst cross in a pawnbroker's window. I thought it would be a pretty ornament for my wife, and I went in and asked to look at it. In talking about jewelry with the master, he reached out this diamond bracelet, and told me that would be a present worth making. Now, I know my lady's head had been running on a diamond bracelet, and I was tempted to ask what was the lowest figure he would put it at. He said it was the most valuable article of the sort he had had for a long while, the diamonds of the first water, worth £400 of anybody's money, but that being second-hand he could part with it for £250. And I bought it. That's where I got the bracelet, ma'am." "That was just the money Colonel Hope gave for it new at Garrard's," said Alice. "Two hundred and fifty guineas." Sir Jasper stared at her; and then broke forth with a comical attempt at rage, for he was one of the best tempered men in the world. "The old wretch of a Jew! Sold It to me at a second-hand price, as he called it,-for the identical sum it cost new! Why, he ought to be prosecuted for usury." "It was just what I told you, Sir Jasper," groaned the lady, "you will go to these low, second-hand dealers, who always cheat where they can. Instead of a regular jeweler; and nine times out of ten you are taken in." "But your having bought it of this pawnbroker does not bring me any nearer the knowing how he procured it." observed Miss Seaton. "I shall go to him this very day and ascertain," returned Sir Jasper. "Tradespeople may not sell stolen bracelets with impunity." Easier said than done. The dealer protested his ignorance and innocence, and declared he. had bought it in the regular course of business, at one of the pawnbroker's periodical sales. And the man spoke the truth, and the detectives were again applied to. (To be continued.) ~ J > ure of the FOMTUKE HI THE M t m e V O m N Oeorgia there is * & n £ demoted to mlatletoejknd.

She realized in the great city, as she never could have in her rural southern home, that talent for art la too general to leave much hope for special distinction, and wisely con. eluded to turn to something that would bring more speedy results. Being an observant young woman, Miss Cartledge noticed that holly and mistletoe brought extremely high prices and bethought her that on the 500 acres at home in Georgia both grew in wild abundance. She returned home and she and her sister began to pre* pare for making the neglected luxuriance of marketable value. In the months of .January and February following they set out ten acres of young holly trees with their own hands. Their colored farm hands would not plant a holly tree for worlds, as they believe that if they did they would die as soon as the tree became tall enough to cast a shadow the measure of their graves. Last Christmas the sisters found the trees so grown that they required thinning out and the trees that were removed were sent north fot Christmas trees and brought high prices, as they were symmetrical and covered with large, rich berries.

The essentials are to offer what people want, at fair prices, and'to offer it in a way that will make/readers know they want it. The art in writing an advertisement is to speak aa.tht interested and well-informed merchant would speak to a prospective customer. The mere appearance of a business, man's name and address in every issue of a leading newspaper will do work t o increase his trade. Every business man, however, is able to give facta about his establishment which will encourage people to deal with him. To state such ** facts clearly in a newspaper fa the principal secret of successful advertising. The Idea that it takes a number of impressions to make the average advertisement effective is not new. Forty years ago an English advertiser said to the publisher of the Cornhill Magazine: "We don't consider that an advertisement seen for the first time by a reader is worth much.. The second time it counts for something. The third time the reader's attention la arrested; the fourth time he reads it through and thinks about it; the fifth makes a purchaser of him.

He seemed painfully conscious of the sharp contrast between his old working clothes and the stylish dresses of the ladies who jostled him on either hand.

Octave Iteanne be a true prophet, evolution in things feminine wiH move, not by degrees, by by remarkable bounds between the present year and 1920. The long dresses of today will appear far more Quaint to the girls of that period than do the flounced skirts of the 80s to the modem woman. In 1920, says M. Octave Uzanne, the "feminine prejudice," which causes ladles, except of course In ballets, "to object to displaying the calves of their legs," will have become entirely extinct. "Rational dress," as advocated by extremists, will not, however, prevail. The Knickerbocker will not oust the petticoat, but the latter will never fall below the knee. On the other hand, the present clinging skirt will be abolished, and dresses will grow fuller in width as they decrease in length. M. Uzanne believes that these revolutions in costume will be promoted by hygienic considerations. He is a violent opponent of the long skirt, on the score of its being a microbe collecting and distributing agent In the name of the laws of health, he likewise is persuaded that the corset has but a few years to live, and will in 1920 be preserved, if at all, In museums of discarded instruments of torture. Finally, veils will also be tabooed for hygienic reasons, as they act as nets for microbes, which are gathered in their meshes and thence are conveyed to the mouth and eyes. Suddenly breaking away from health considerations, M. Octave Uzanne indulges in flights of far more fanciful prophecy. In 1920, it seems, occult arts, necromancy and astrology will flourish as they never did before, except among the Alexandrine Greeks at the commencement of the Christian era.

But, alas, t h e crafty wind, like a thief, had card e d the clothes a w a y on his w)£g, and Madelette searched for them lu vain She w a s a n g r y w h e n she heard t h e de ceitful breeze rustling t h e branches overhead, h a p p y to see her so beautiful and w h i t e and laughing mockingly a s If to a p p l a u d t h e success of i t s trick. B u t her a u g e r did not bring Back the elothes, and it w a s cruel for t h e gentle b a t h e r to h a v e to go through t h e fields a s little dressed as a lily. T r u l y , she w a s very m u c h ashamed, and she felt a g r e a t chagrin also as she t h o u g h t ol ^fche daaee.-for—it i s - p o t custom a ry f o i young girls to go to a dance without any robe. B u t happily along t h e p a t h she came to an old tree with large smooth leaves on it. ' " T a k e one of my branches, poor little girl," said t h e tree, "and m a k e yourself a dress of m y foliage." Madelette chose t h e branch thickest with leaves, but try as she would she could not m a k e t h e m stay on her skin, They fell to t h e earth, although they would gladly have remained attached t o so pretty snowy white a body. Madelette in despair continued her walk, carrying t h e b r a n c h with her. At a t u r n of t h e lane she s a w a thornbush, which seemed to realize a t once the trouble she w a s In. "My sister," said t h e kind shrub, " t a k e some of my thorns, and they will serve you as pins t o fasten your gown." T h e lingers of Madelette seized upon t h e s h a r p points and tried to force one of them in her soft skin so as to hold t h e fickle leaves. But at t h e first trial a drop of blood rose on the thorn, and she gave a cry of pain. And then the Virgiii Mary, not wishing t h a t the young girl should go about like that, let fall from her celestial distaff some t h r e a d s of cotton right at t h e feet of the distressed little one. Madelette picked them up eagerly, seated herself on t h e bank of a s t r e a m and in less time than it would t a k e the wind to strip the leaves off a trembling rose she had m a d e herself a robe brilliant as t h e corselet of a beetle. The t h o r n s w e r e good needles, t h e thread of the Virgin hold delightfully the leaves together, and what better thimble could one wish t h a n the egg of a little bird? Madelette. now w e n t on entirely happy and very proud of her n e w to!lot. "Fie. lie."

"Oh, Madelette!" cried some shining glowworms. "You would go t o t h e dance with no jewels in y o u r e a r s . " "Come here, t h e n , " cried Madelette, and she h u n g from each of her e a r s a beautiful living ruby. j T h u s gayly attired Madelette went to ; the ball of Tltnnia. T h e little fairies j danced under t h e s h a d e of t h e great j trees, and Madelette was so pretty in j her splendid costume t h a t the king of the gnomes, who had been invited t o the fete, fell in love with her. H e invited her to dance. "Refuse," said the serpent, moved by jealousy and putting Its bead of green and gold close to- t h e ear of the child. But t h e blushing young girl paid no heed to this remark. " S w e e t one," sighed t h e king during the waltz, "it is late", a n d if you only say it I will go and a w a i t you down there, and we shall be m a r r i e d . " "1 should like it well, m y lord," said Madelette. "Do not go," c a m e t h e piercing w h i s per of t h e serpent when t h e waltz w a s finislied. B u t Madelette p r e t e n d e d not to have heard, and seeing t h a t t h e king now started out she w e n t below a n d found him a w a i t i n g her. "Take—eare^1—eried t h e serpentr-andopening his little mouth bis fangs darted threateningly in the a i r . Madelette felt her living collar tighten, but so joyous w a s she at t h e thought of being married to the king of the gnomes t h a t she did not realize w h a t it nieaut. "My lord," said she to t h e king, "speak to me of love, a n d I will give you my little linger to kiss." At t h a t instant they heard a keen hiss. Madelette turned pale, and suddenly with a moan dull and brief she fell down there at the feet of the king, strangled —dead. The serpent stole away through the• j:r:iss and the king of the gnomes returned to the hall to search for another -liride. —From the French, Lenfl 11 « - ."• '. 1 ' ' i ,' ' ewA Troe*i.

In German West Africa they get three years in the penitentiary for roasting a negro; in this country they get a three days' roast in the newspapers. Neither punishment seems to discourage the habit. It might expedite matters considerably if the various powers made it a practice to keep their cruisers in the Dardanelles all the time, the sultan being simply invited to observe their presence every time a bill falls due. When, as Prince of Wales, King Edward visited the United States a great many years ago, he heard our great national air on several occasions. A few days ago when Sousa's band played it in his presence he recognized it at once and removed his hat. Many things have transpired in forty years to impress him with the belief that "The Star Spangled Banner" is a much greater tune than he once believed it to be. There have been greater crowds at footballl games this season than that which witnessed the contest between the elevens of the army and of the navy at Philadelphia, but there have been none more distinguished, Including, as it did, the president of the United States, the veteran heroes of the army and of the navy, not to mention a vast array of statesmen, diplomats and other eminent representatives of military, naval and civil life. The occasion marked the climax of a notable football season, in which, the general public lias taken an extraordinary Interest, not without ample compensation. A Sad Story. Two Italians, Shu Ommerman, of St. Louis,au(i Daniel Buyar, of Kansas City, Mo., have been consulting with the prosecuting attorney of Adrian. Jennie Ommerman, it appeared, a sister of one of the Italians, in company with her betrothed, had set out from New York city for Kansas, going on ihe Ill-fated Wabash train No. 13 from Detroit. Since then nothing has been heard from them, and beyond a doubt they were among the human beings burned to death. The story of their lives iis lovers is a beautiful one. When Michael Supero met Miss Ommerman their love was instant, but reason prevailed, and an agreement was made in which they concluded not to marry until enough money had been saved between them to make a suitable provision for their future. This was nearly two years ago, and at the time of their starting out the sum they had agreed on had been saved from their small earnings. Mr. Buyar has asked permission of the authorities to have the graves opened and an investigation made, and in all probability this will be allowed. If it is done it will also afford an opportunity for experts to examine the bones and judge of the exact number of the dead there buried, as reports vary to a considerable degree. •> ""'JII. ; ii .• ": i i " ' i ' , i •. . • •'•' - 1 MINOR MICHIGAN MATTERS. State Grange Reports. The State Grange sessions in Lansing were largely attended and the discussion full of interest. The report of the executive committee was long, strong, and interesting. It declared that the grange will champion no class legislation, no class political party, but will boldly sustain the rights of every citizen to the uutrammeled use of the ballot, for the protection of the home and dearest rights of every citizen. The report stated that complaint is still heard from farmers all over the state of unequal taxation, no system yet devised seeming to fairly distribute the onerous burden. The opinion was. however, expressed that the princliwl trouble lies in the lax enforcement of the law. "Farmers must use the power which organization gives to enforce such legislation and such execution of the laws we have as to prevent the dishonest from shirking." The report of the legislative committee simply reviewed the work before the last legislature which | resulted in the enactment of pure food and anti-colored oleomargarine laws, securing increased appropriations for farmers' institutes and a permanent income for the agricultural college.

The findings of the Schley court of Inquiry were handed to the secretary of the navy Friday. Two reports were submitted, the majority opluion drawn up by Hear-Admirals Ben ham und Itamsey, holding Schley at fault on 11 points; and the minority report presented by Admiral Dewey, sustaining Schley in nearly every particular, and emphatically asserting that to him was due all the credit of the victory at Santiago. The court recommends that the whole case be now considered closed. Wlien the conclusions of Admiral Dewey were read to him , Ad-1 miral Schley showed his pleasure, and it was evident from his manner that he regarded the statement from Admiral Dewey as a vindication of his cause. He declined to make any statement concerning the court's findings, and excusing himself from the little company which had gathered about him went to his apartments, where Mrs, Schley had been anxiously awaiting to hear the court's decision.

'Hi1 m i w r ^ ^ ^ y ^ t The Dominie used to complain sometimes about the character of the stories the rest of us told. He said they were too economical in their use of the element of truth. And truth was so cheap, and also so interesting, he would say. We were always ready to admit that it was interesting, but were not so free to acknowledge its cheapness. Like ether exotics it seemed to us expensive. Fiction, being so much more easily produced, appeared to be the true mental provender in the Corn Cob Club, a social institution where we decided questions of great pith and moment by the aid of the civilizing and ennobling influence of tobacco incinerated in cob-pipes. The Dominie had quit smoking when he entered the ministry, but he always said the cobs smelt good, so we had hopes of his reclamation; besides, the air was usually so thick that he absorbed enough to bring him up, in a large measure, to the high philosophic plane occupied by the rest of us. It happened on Christmas Eve that somebody told a story appropriate enough to the season so far as the subject went, but palpably impossible considered as a happening. At least the Dominie said it was, and threatened to tell a Christmas story himself; and being counseled by the Professor, who was classical in his language, to "blaze away," the good man complied as follows: There used to be a young man named Stanwix who was rector of a 'WHY DON'T YOU GET MARRIED?" church at a little town in New Jersey railed Appleburg. Very amiable young man, not long in the ministry, and unmarried. Nice-looking chap, too, and a bright fellow, but he had his trials at Appleburg. Mainly it was the women— they thought he ought to marry, and of course they were right. But thinking so wasn't enough for those dear Appleburg ladies; with the true feminine desire to help they resolved to see that he did marry. But here again they showed a universal feminine trait by refusing to combine and work together. They all labored hard enough, but Independently, and each with a view to inducing the minister to marry a different woman. It had been going on thus for some months when Christmas approached. Now of course there isn't much you can give any man for Christmas—slippers and pipes and shot-guns and slippers. And in the- case of a parson it's still worse—you've got to drop off the pipes-and1 sfcotguns, leaving only slippers— and slippers. Of course there are book-marks and easy chairs, but the first are "trivial and the latter expensive; besides, if be is unmarried" ana you are of the opposite sex, and la the same state, you will see that you ought to give him something made with your own fair hands, and you can't make an easy chair. So slippers it had to be for the Rev. M. Stanwix, especially after his landlady had been sounded on the subject and reported that the poor man didn't have a slipper to his name. Well, the result was, of course, that the whole hundred and thirty-six marriageable ladies at Appleburg went to work on slippers; and a few of the flock who already had husbands also began slippers, out of the goodness of their hearts, probably, or maybe thinking that they might be widows some day and might as well have a pair to their credit. The slaughter of plush and embroidery materials was something cyclonic, and the local shoemaker had to sit up nights pegging on soles. Even unfortunate little Jane Wilkinson went at a pair hammer and tongs, though everybody said she hadn't a.ghoat of a show. In the first place Jane was too young—her older sister Katharine was conceded to have a right to enter for the contest, but it was universally held that Jane had no right to compete at all. Besides being too young—she was really nineteen or twenty—she was also plain. She might have a certain girlish prettiness, but not the beauty which the wife of so handsome a shepherd as the Rev. Mr. Stanwix should have. Furthermore, Jane was in no other way adapted for the position—sh9 had been a good deal of a tomboy, and was yet, for that matter; she was frivolous and careless, and was always putting her foot in it. The first time the pastor had called at the Wilkinson house, and while Katherine was entertaining him in the parlor in the most approved and circumspect manner, Jane had blundered in, and inside of five minutes asked him why he didn't get married—all the girls said he ought to. Jane had explained to everybody that she meant it as a joke, but it haa generally been pronounced ill-timed and in bad taste. But poor Jane kept working away on her slippers regardless of the talk Everybody said that Jane's slippers wouldn't fit, or that they would both be for one foot, or that she would get the heels sewed on the toe end, o\ something. Jane finally put on the finishing touches and then packed them in a pasteboard box and tied It with pink ribbon. Then she got her other Christmas presents ready. She had a lot of handkerchiefs for an aunt, and a shopping bag for a married sister, and a little knit shawl for her grandmother, and a pair of skates for a boy cousin, and various other things for divers other persons, including a fine meerschaum pipe and a pound of his favorite smoking tobacco for her brother who was at. college, and who wouldn't be home till New Year's. Each thing she carefully put up in a box or bundle and laid it away. The day before Christmas was a never-to-be-forgotten time for the Rev. Mr. Stanwix. Slippers just came down on him like an Egyptian plague. Along about four o'clock Stanwix got crowded out of his room—slippers piled half way to the ceiling—and had to put a chair out in the hall and sit thete with an a;1 as of the world lb his lap writing his Christmas sermon on it Mighty tough sermon it was, too, and got tougher as the slippers continued to arrive. Fact is, he was getting pretty mad; and every new pair sent his temperature up five degrees. Con' sequeatiy, at ten o'clock he was just boiling. Of course he couldn't swear, but the way he tramped up and down that hail and ground his teeth really amounted to tba same thing. The arriving slippers now began to fall off. For ten minutes nothing came, and he was just starting down to ask the landlady if she couldn't put a cot in the hall so he could go to bed, when in came another box. It was from Jane—just her luck, of course, to b* late and strike him when he was all worked up to the bursting point. But let us draw a veil over the scene right here and leave the poor man alone as he opens Jane's box. It was not more than half-past nine the next morning when the Rev. Mr. Stanwix mounted the Wilkinson steps and tugged at the door bell. He asked for Jane. It seemed rather queer, but they ushered him Into the parlor and sent Jane in. Well, to make a long story short, it wasn't ten minutes until he had the thing all fixed up. He had his chair drawn close up beside her end of the sofa. "Jane," he was saying, "I've loved you ever since the first day I saw you, but I never knew it until I opened your box." "Then you liked them, did you? I'm so glad," murmured Jane. "I should say I did! Why, it's one of the finest meerschaums I ever saw, and that tobacco used to be my favorite brand at college. But, Jane, how did you know I used to smoke, and was dying to begin again?" Jane had stopped breathing, at the word meerschaum. Now she caught her breath, and for once in her life rose to the occasion and didn't put her foot in it. She simply looked up at him and smiled demurely. "Oh, I guessed it," she said. "It was the best guess you ever made. I should have died last night amidst that awful landslide of slippers if I hadn't smoked abput half of that tobacco. I mean to keep on .smoking <* "MOVED INTO THE HALL." now—that is, if you don't object, dear?" Jane scored again. "I rather like the smell of good tobacco," she said.—Saturday Evening Post. •' "&; :<J**iaY Bi»fc."'

It transpires that the gift of $10,- 000.000 which Andrew Carnegie tendered to President Roosevelt for the founding of a great institution for higher education was not an offer of $10,000,000 In cash, but the par value of that amount in bonds of the United States Steel Corporation. The offer of these bonds is embarrassing to the administration owing to the complications which might arise if the governemnt accepted them, and the president is now in correspondence with Mr. Carnegie, with a view of having him convert the bonds into cash.

In consequence of the Presbyterian form of church government, as constituted by John Knox and his coadjutors on the model of the ecclesiastical polity of Calvin, having taken such firm root in Scotland the festival of Christmas, with other commemorative celebrations retained from the Roman calendar by the Anglicans and Lutherans, is comparatively unknown in that country, at least in the lowlands. The tendency to mirth and jollity at the close of the year, which seems almost inherent in human nature, haa in north Britain been for the most part transferred from Christmas and Christmas Eve to New Year's day and the preceding evening, known by the appellation of Hogmenay. In many parta of the highlands of Scotland, however, and also in the county of Forfar, and one or two other districts, the day for general merry-making is Christmas, G r a i n , Kte.

Car*4 by S t Ja««b» OH. (Fqom the Cardiff Times.) Among, the thousands of voluntary endorsements of the great value of St Jacob's Oil for sprains, stiffness and soreness, is that of Mrs. O. Thomas, 4 Alexandra Road, Gelli, Tsbrod, near Pontypridd, South Wales, who says: "It is wtth great pleasure that I add my wiling testimony to the invaluable excellence of your celebrated St. Jacobs Oil, as experienced in my own case. I sprained both my ankles in walking down some steps so severely that I was unable to stand for several months. The pain I suffered was most severe and nothing that I used helped me until I applied St Jacobs Oil, when they Immediately became better daily, and in a short time I was able to go about, and soon after I was quite cured. I am now determined to advise all persons suffering from pains to use this wonderful remedy, which did sc much for me." Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us as to what treatment she pursued during the months she was unable to stand, and during which time she was suffering so much, but we venture to suggest that had she called in any well-known medical man he would have at once prescribed St. Jacobs Oil, for it has conquered pain upwards of fifty years, and doctors know there is nothing so good. The proprietors of St Jacob's oil have been awarded twelve gold medals by different international exhibitions as the premier pain-killing remedy of the world. Th« committees who made the awards were In each instance composed largely of the most eminent medical men obtainable. Mrs, Thomas evidently did not know the high opinion in which St Jacobs Oil is held by almost every progressive medical man. Pen jabs and Germans Fight. A sentry belonging to an Indian regiment stationed at Tien-Tain, China, ran amuck and killed two of his comrades. A company of Punjab infantry was at once ordered out to secure him. In the meantime the sentry had been shot by German troops, who then opened fire on the Punjabs. A free fight ensued, as a result of which three German privates were killed and a German officer mortally wounded, while three of the Indian troops were killed and several were wounded. The German troops have been confined to their barracks until further orders. English Hotel Is Destroyed. The Queen's hotel at Southsea, England, was burned Sunday. Forty of the guests escaped in their night clothing onty. Two chambermaids were suffocated and several firemen injured. The Queen's hotel was a fashionable resort. Among those rescued from the building were the Rev. Thomas Teignmouth Shore, canon of Worcester and chaplain in ordinary to King Edward, and his wife; Major General Francis William Collis and Colonel and Mrs. Charles E. Stewart, retired, and Colonel and Mrs. Ruxton. unusual to light interest Ellenor New Care for Rheumatism.. Hester, Mo., Dec. 16.—An case which has recently come here is exciting the keenest among medical men. Mrs. Guardhouse suffered for over forty years with Sciatic Rheumatism so severely and so constantly that her case has been regarded as chronic and absolutely incurable. At times the pain was almost unbearable and she could not rest day or night. Some months ago she v/as induced to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy recently introduced in this neighborhood. The immediate results were magical and she continued till she had taken eight boxes, and now she declares she has not an ache or pain left. She believes that she is completely and permanently cured and as she has not used tbe pills for some months and is to-day in the best of health the doctors who were at first skeptical are amazed.

Prof. Osborn's explanations of the wherefores were excellent and very instructive of the Junior class. to tbe students Whatthe U. of M. costs You. The University of Michigan is supported largely by one-quarter mill tax on the assessed valuation of tbe state. A man whose property is assessed at $500. pays for the support of the University 1 2 | cents a year—a cent a month. If a citizen owns a farm assessed at $2,000, he pays fifty cents a year to the University. This payment of fifty cents is all it costs him to have at his command for his and his neighbor's children, an education ) been unaole to learn any other place Vol. XIX No. 52.

Nothing is nicer for a present to wefe or mother than a set ot silverwear, and ^we've got 'em. TEEPLE & CADWELL With this issue the DISPATCH passes another mile-stone in its career and as we look back over the past twelve months we are well pleased, While we could have done more work and our advertising patronage couUi have been better we will not complain tor we have enough to-live on and if we hold out health will meat our payments as they come due with the help of our many friends in paying up the small amounts due us. During the year that has passed we have purchased and moved into a home of our own and now are able to meet all of our friends on tbe ground floor. (Do not forget this when you come to settle your subscription.) While our advertising patronage has not been any greater than last year, our job department never was so busy as during the year that is just closing, We cannot help but attribute this to our continued reaching out after more work by a liberal use of printers ink in the form of special advertising. We always believed that advertising paid and have proven it true. Some people may say that it is easy for us to advertise as it does not cost us anything, but we actually pay as much or more in cash for our advertising as any merchant in town, and we are not doing it for fun either—it pays or we would not continue. While we would be glad for a large increase in this line for tbe coming year we are thankful for the support given us and wish all of our patrons a Merry Xraa9 and a Happy, prosper* ous New Year. THE PUBLISHEBS. of meeting we presume it will be post poned for a month. Lyle W.

Tliey have a host of friends whose best whishes are extended to them in the important step which they have taken.—Journal Miner, Prescott Arizona. @^r Why Should Calamity Be Full of Words r The mere saying of-words is easy, and some men devote their whole lives to it. They talk rather than act. The calamity howlers in any community are of this kind. While the unsuccessful business man is talking the successful man is acting. When he speaks he uses words, but he tells facts. He seldom, however, depends upon his own voice. He brings to his aid the trumpet tangoed voice of the press. * He purchases space in the advertising columns of his local paper, and he uses it to good advantage. This is your local paperT There is space in these columns for use. Are you adding its strength to your voice? 4 Properly used it will aid you. • Brokaw I Wilkinson, ' 1 ^ Are showing the finest line of Fancy China Glass Ware and Furniture ever brought into Livingston countv.

In high accord replying. —Frank Leslie's Magaiine. 1 ^ New Years Ball "But merciful goodness!" the man cried out, driven to half-crazed desperation, *'Don't you understand? Can't yon understand? It is ruin! It is complete ruin!" She stood before him like one of the antique Greek statutes that look calmly out from Jeweled eyes. Her cold mouth curved a little. "I suppose you mean that our expenditure has been too heavy; that we must retrench. You are dramatic about it—as you are about everything." She shrugged her shoulders. "And you know that I detest the dramatic." As he saw that still she did not understand* the moisture came out on his forehead. "No, I do not mean that we must retrench, as you conceive the word, Rose. I mean that everything Is gone." "Everything!" "You will not starve. You wilt have A house over your head. But—" • "Thank you." She smiled ironically. "That is much. Yes, I think I understand now." She turned to the door. "Rose!" He called her back. His eyes strained out of his ashen face. **tt you knew—if you knew—how I ."have struggled against it! For months it has been coming. But I always hoped that I would retrieve all. One unfortunate investment followed another. Still I would not tell you; I could not—could not! But now I will explain everything." ""Oh, pray spare me!" She drew aside the folds of her houserobe, as if his outstretched hand might seize and detain her. "I wish for no explanation of disagreeable events. After our New Tear's eve ball I will hear as much of -what yotr may "have to" say as I care to know—though speech is useless enough now." "'After the ball?" he repeated. "You do not mean—it is not possible—that you think of still giving this New Year's ball?" "Certainly." She gated at him coldly. "This ball shall be given. My invitations went out today." "But it is monstrous!" cried Edwin Thompson. "Do :«ou realize what will be said of us? In a fortnight more the whole world will know that I am a bankrupt. My honor—-" "Your honor!" she interrupted, laughing a little. "A man who marries . a girl above him socially, but of impoverished family, under the claim of being: wealthy, and who, five years later, announces to her that he is bankrupt, need talk little of his honor!" She turned away again and finally, as she uttered the words. They had neen spoken in her even, clear, cruel voice. Surely in the five years of their married life Edwin Thompson had .learned to know thoso tones we"l. They liad never warmed with love or melted ^wfth tenderness. They had remained what they had been when he, a selfmade man, a man who had arrived at great riches, despite his youth, had ipaid his addresses to the daughter of the old Viokas, and had been willing that she should marry him without, as she confessed with explicit calmness, loving him in the least. • * * • * * Mrs. Edwin Thompson had given her ball and it marked the summit of the holiday season. The early morning hours wore on towards the dawn. The fault carriage rolled away. Mrs. Thomps o n would fall; but it would be a fall •enwrapped in splendor. 8he was about to move past her hus- 'band without a word. He checked her. "I have been waiting to see you un- ~tll the last guest had gone. There has happened one thing of which I wish to speak to you—very briefly. I shall not keep you long. I had a relative—an uncle of my mother. He was an unmarried man, and rich. For years we held no communication with each other. It came to me that I would appeal to him—not for myself—for you." He paused. She stood, her head half •verted, reluctantly waiting. He looked at her. She did not see the glance. He resumed. • "I wrote three days ago. Today I re- • wived this letter." He took out a folded sheet. "It is from the. old man's lawyer. My mother's uncle died a week ago, and I am heir-at-law of all his property. The silence that fell upon the great room,could almost be heard. Not a -muscle ef Rose's body moved. Her head was still averted. "**!. tell you thia, because It is you— not I—-who hereafter will own this fortune. That la all.". . . . . . . When she turaoA.j&8£ply he was gone. The blood surged to her cheeks, and left them again deadly pale. Was it true? Yet; she .knew that it was. fine m2«ht taun* hlni with having won her by false claims, but she knew, in her soul, that falsity and he could not together be mentioned. His word was never doubted. What did he mean, then, by saying that his fortune, which had fallen to him in the hour of di? rect need, like rain from the clouds, was to be hers, not his? Gathering up the long, rustling train of her balldress, she mounted the stairs, pushed open the door of his dressing room— "Edwln-my God!" The cry broke from the lips that had grown stiff and still.. She crept forward. Her white arm' and wrist struck against his uplifted hand. "Edwin! Why did you do this? You were about to take your life! Why? Why?" Her hands closed upon his wrist. The vice-like pressure recalled him from the trance in which he had stood until then. "Why not?" He spoke hoarsely. "Can you love me? Can anything recall the words you uttered two week3 ago?" "Edwin! Forget them! Forget!" , "I thought I knew you," he went on as before. "I thought I knew you as cold—but not—not as you revealed yourself that day. I always hoped, hoped for your heart some time. That afternoon I saw you and your heart as they were. You have what you wish— a fortune. Me you will not need." "I do!" she cried. "You must listen to me. You must understand me, though I scarcely understand myself. My heart was cruel and cold because it had never been awakened. I never knew you as you are—as the man you are!" • * • • * * Edwin Thompson and his wife have been abroad two years. Theirs is a harmonious household. Their fortune generously expended draws society about them. But Mrs. Thompson has ceased to be a "society woman." "Since when have you so changed, Rose?" asks her friends. She smiles in a sad yet happy way and replies: "Since my last New Year's ball." How t h e Boys View it. "Say," said one small boy the othei afternoon, "has your mother begun t' hurl th' Santa Claus gag into you yet?" "Aw, sure.-" was the reply. *T bin gittln' that fr a couple o' months now. Ev'ry time I make a break she points her finger at me and tells me Santa Claus ain't a-goin' t' bring me nothin' 'fl don't get next f m'self." "What d'ye do then?" "Aw, what else would I do but let her go on thinkln' that I b'lleve in Santa Claus?" "That's right, all right." said the other boy. "Y' might Jes' as well let 'em keep on thinkln' you believe In th' old fake. It makes 'em feel god, an* you get more w'en they think you b'lleve in Santy, too." "Sure thing. An', say, it's a good game t' write down on a piece o' paper what you want th* old dub t' chuck in your stockin', an' nan' th' list t' your mother. She wants you t' keep right on b'lievin' in his old whiskerlets, an* she don't want t' disappoint you, an' she's li'ble t' put mos' o' th' things you ask fr in your sockin'." "Oh, I always work that old one," said the other boy, and then they went on playing shinny. And a man who had overheard the conversation strolled away with a feeling that the world is growing a bit hoar and sad.—Chicago Chronicle. In Tennessee Mountains. The residents of the East Tennessee mountains celebrate Christmas day with a barbecue. An ox or steer is prepared for roasting, the interior is filled with chickens, ducks, wild turkeys and birds, and the whole is suspended over a huge wood fire which 13 built in some convenient outdoor locality. The guests come from adjacent counties in great wagons covered with cornstalks, from beneath which black jugs are drawn and their contents sampled. There are side-issues in the shape of small fires at which the boys roast the fat coons captured in their coon hunts, and there Is a fiddler who no sooner starts up "The Arkansaw Traveler" than old and young begin to dance. Ice cream there is none and bonbons are unknown, but cider and gingerbread abound. Often girls, escorted by their admirers, will walk seven miles to attend. For this remarkable feast of Christmas of the olden time a favorite English dish was plum porridge. The Englishmen of the early centuries ate his plum porride with a zest he might well have saved for the more elaborate dishes. After such a bowl of porridge as he considered his portion there Is erason to wonder where he found place for his after-courses. In the centuries Iong~gctae plum pottage was always served with, the first course of tbo Christmas dl^nsr.

In an obscure room of a lo**7 and dilapidated -lodging house; in-a levatahd dilapidated ndgfrborhood, there- set a man one evening In the coming twilight; a towering, gaunt skeleton, whose remarkably long arms and legs looked little more than skin and bone. The arms were fully exposed to view, since their owner, though he possessed and wore a waistcoat, dispensed with the use of a shirt. An.article, once a coat, lay on the floor, to be donned at will—if it could be got into for the holes. The man sat on the floor in a corner, his head finding a resting place against the wall, and he had dropped into a light sleep, but if ever famine was depicted in a face, it was in his. Unwashed, unshaven, with matted hair and feverish lips; the cheeks were hollow, the nostrils white and pinched, and the skin around the mouth had a blue tinge. Some one tried and shook the door; it aroused him, and he started up, but only to cower in a bending attitude and listen. "I hear you," cried a voice. "How are you tonight, Joe? Open the door." The voice was not one he knew; not one that might be responded to. "Do you call, this politeness, Joe Nicholls? If you don't open the door, I shall take the liberty of opening it for myself, which will put you to the trouble of mending the fastenings afterwards." "Who are you?" cried Nicholls, reading determination in the voice. "I'm gone to bed, and can't admit folks tonight." "Gone to bed at 8 o'clock?" "Yes; I'm ill." "I will give you one minute, and then I come in. You will open it if you want to save trouble." Nicholls yielded to his fate and opened the door.' The gentleman—he looked like one —cast his keen eyes around the room. There was not a vestige of furniture in it; nothing but the bare, dirty walls, from which the mortar crumbled, and the bare, dirty boards. "What did you mean by saying you were gone to bed, eh.Zl' "So 1 was. I was asleep there," pointing to the corner, "and there's my bed. What do you want?" added Nicholls, peering at the stranger's face in the gloom of the evening, but seeing it imperfectly, for his hat was drawn low over it. "A little talk with you. The last sweepstake you got into—" The man lifted his face and burst forth with such eagerness that the stranger could only arrest his own words and listen. "It was a swindle from beginning to end. I had scraped together the ten shillings to put in it, and I drew the right horse and was shuffled out of the gains and I have never had my dues, not a farthing of 'em. Since then I have been ill, and I can't get about to better myself. Are you come, sir, to make it right?" "Some"—the stranger coughed— "friends of mine were in it, also," said he; "and they lost their money." "Everybody lost it; the getters-up bolted with all they had drawn into their fingers. Have they been took, do you know?" "All in good time; they have left their trail. So you have been ill, have you?" "111! Just take a sight of me! There's an arm for a big man." He stretched out his naked arm for inspection; it appeared as if a touch would snap it. The stranger laid his hand upon its fingers, and his other hand appeared to be stealing furtively toward his own pocket. "I should say this looks like starvation, Joe." "Some'at nigh akin to it." A pause of unsusplcion and the handcuffs were clapped on the astonished man. He started up with an oath. "No need to make a noise, Nicholls," said the detective with a careless air. "I have got two men waiting outside." "I swear I wasn't In the plate robberv." oassionatelv uttered the man. "I knew of it, but I didn't join 'em, and I never had the worth of a salt spoon after it was melted down. And they call me a coward, and they leave me here to starve and die! I swear I wasn't in it." "Well, we'll talk about the plate robbery another time," said the officer, as he raised his hat; "you have got those bracelets on, my man, for another sort of bracelet. A diamond one. Don't you remember me?" The prisoner's mouth fell. "I thought that was over and done with all this time—I don't know what you mean," he added, correcting himeelfc "No," said the officer, "it's Just heginning. The bracelet is found and has been traced to you. You were a clever fellow, and I had my doubts of ~ *you at the time; I thought you were too clever to go on long.""" "I-sheuld* W ashamed tdj play the sneak and eatdya fellow Imthis way. Why couldn't you come openly in your proper clothes?.not come playing the spy in the garb Of a fridndly civilian." "My men are in their 'proper clothes,'" returned the equable officer, "and you will have the honor of their escort presently. I came because they did not know you, and I did." "Three officers to a single man, and he a skeleton!" uttered Nicholls, with a vast show of indignation. "Ay! but you were powerful once and ferocious, too. The skeleton aspect is a recent one." "And all for nothing. I don't know about any bracelets." "Don't trouble yourself with inventions, Nicholls. Your friend is safe in our hands, and has made a full confession." "What friend?" asked Nicholls, too eagerly. 'The lady you got to dispose of it for you to the Jew." , Nicholls was startled to^lncaution. "She hasn't split, has she;?" "Every particular she jknew or guessed at. Split to save herself." "Then there's no faith in woman." "There never was yet," returned the officer, "if they are not at the top and bottom of every mischief, Joe, they are sure to be in the middle. Is this your coat?" touching it gingerly. "She's a disgrace to the female sex, she is," raved Nicholls, disregarding the question as to the coat. "But it's a relief now I'm took, it's a weight off my mind; I was always expecting of it, and I shall get food in the Old Bailey at any rate." "Ah," said the officer, "you were in good service as a respectable servant; you had better have stuck to your duties." "The temptation was so great," observed the man, who had evidently abandoned all idea of denial; and now that he had done so, was ready to be voluble with remembrance and particulars. "Don't say anything to me," said -the-officer. "It will be used against you." "It came along of my long legs," cried Nicholls, ignoring the friendly injunction, and proceeding to enlarge on the feat he had performed. "I have never had a~"happy hour since; I was second footman there, and a good place I had; and I had wished, thousands of times, that the bracelet had been in a sea of molten fire. Our folks had taken a house in the neighborhood of Ascot for the race week, and they had left me at home to take care of the kitchen maid, and another inferior or two, taking the rest of the servants with them. I had to clean the winders afore they returned, and I had druv it off till the Thursday evening, and out I got on the balqueny, to begin with the back drawing room." "What did you say you got out on?" "The balqueny. The thing with the green rails around it, what encloses the windows. While I was leaning over the rails afore I begun, I heard somehing like click—click agoing on in the fellow room at the next door, which was Colonel Hope's. It was like as if something light was being laid on the table, and presently I heard two voices beginning to talk, a lady's and a gentleman's, and I listened—" "No good ever comes of listening, Joe!" Interrupted the officer. 'T didn't listen for the sake of listening, but it was awful hot, a standing outside there in the sun, and listening was better than working. I didn't want to hear neither, for I was thinking of my own concerns, and what a fool I was to have idled away my time all day till the sun came on to the back winders. Bit by bit I heerd what they were talking about— that it was jewels they had got there, and that one was worth 200 guineas. Thinks I, if that was mine, I'd do no more work. After awhile I heerd them go out of the room, and T thought I'd have a look at the rich things, and I stepped over slanting ways on to the little ledge running along the houses, holding on by our balqueny, and then I passed my hands along the wall till I got hold of the balqueny—but one with ordinary legs and arms couldn't have done it. You couldn't, sir!" "Perhaps not," remarked the officer. "There wasn't fur to fall if I had fell, only on to the kitchen leads under; but I didn't fall, and I raised myself on to their balqueny, and looked in. My! what a show it was! stunning jewels, all laid out there; so close that if I had put my hand inside It must have struck all among 'em; and the fiend prompted me to take one. r didn't stop t*'look; I didn't sttfp to think; the one that twinkled the brightest, and had the most stones in it was the nearest to me, and I r <¥* clutched It and flipped it into my \ • / footman's undress jacket, and ste,ppe4 „ back again." "And g^^rtfer^fato four own baU ;. cony." • ' *;Yes;, but { <Udn/t clean the windei tnat nighl' i ipaVumwUlke by what I had done, and I think; it I could have put it back agath, I should; but there was no bpiibi'tiifllty. I wrapped It up in my winder leather, and then in a sheet of paper, and then I put it, up the chimbley in one of the spare bedrooms. I was up the next morning afore 5, and I .cleaned,,my winders; I'd no trouble to awake myself, for I had never slept. The same day toy wards evening you called sir, and asked me some questions—whether we had seen any one on the leads at the back, and such like. I said, as master was just come home from Ascot, would you be pleased to speak to him." "Ah," again remarked the officer, "you were a clever, fellow that day. But if my suspicions had not been strongly directed to another quarter, I might have looked you up more sharply." " , . , . , "I kep* it by me for a month or two, and then I gave warning to leave. I thought I'd have my fling, and I became acquainted witi her—that laay— and somehow she wormed out of me that I had got it, and let her dispose of It for me, for she said, she knew how to do it without danger." "What* did you get for it??' The skeleton shook his,head. Thirtyfour jponnd, and .^ had counted on a hundred and fifty.' She took an oath she bad not helped herself to a sixpence." , , "Oaths are plentiful with the genus," remarked the detective. "She stood to it she hadn't, and she stopped and helped me to spend it. After that was done, she went over to somebody else who was in luck; and I have tried to go on, and I can't honestly or dishonestly; it seems all one; nothing prospers, and I'm naked and famishing—and I wish I was dying." • / "Evil courses never do prosper, * Nicholls," said the officer, as he called In the policemen, and consigned the prisoner to their care. So Gerard was innocent! "But how was it you skillful detectives could not be on this man's scent?" asked Colonel Hope of the officer, when ho heard the tale. "Colonel? I was thrown off. Your positive belief In your nephew's guilt infected me, and appearances were very strong against him. Miss Seaton also helped to throw me off; she said, If you remember, that she did nofT leave the room; but it now appears she did leave it when your nephew did, though only for a few moments. Those few moments sufficed to do the job." "It's strange she could not tell the exact truth," growled the colonel. "She probably thought she was exact enough since she only remained outside the door and could answer for it that no one had entered by it. She forgot the window. 1 thought of the window the instant the loss was mentioned to me, but Miss Seaton's assertion that she never had the window out of her view prevented my dwelling on it. I did go to the next door, and saw the very fellow who committed the robbery, but his manner was sufficiently satisfactory. He. talked too freely; I did not like that; but I found he had been in the same service 15 months, and, as I must repeat, I laid the guilt to another." "It is a confoundedly unpleasant affair for me," cried the colonel; "I have published my nephew's disgrace and guilt all over London." "It is more unpleasant for him, colonel," was the rejoinder of the officer. "And I have kept him short of money, and suffered him to be sued for debt, and I have let him go and live amongst the runaway scamps over the water, and not hindered his engaging himself as a merchant's clerk; and, in short, I have played the very deuce with him." "But reparation is, doubtless, in your heart and hands, colonel." "I don't know that, sir," testily concluded the colonel. (To be continued.) Automobile Poach9M. A Paris correspondent tel)a of some wholesale poaching of automobilists, who used their "car" as a trap for the game and made off with enormous "bags" of plunder while. the gamekeeper slept. The trick was so clever that, barring- the feelings of the birds who failed of being "preserved" for the guns of sporting owners, , the automobile poachers must be congratulated on accomplishing their purpose. They pretended to have broken down while driving along the high road, and told the peasants and the gamekeeper, with many lamentations, they would be forced to remain all night in the field adjacent. The gamekeeper, though he says it was against his will, aided the men in moving the car to , a place of safety until certain, repairs could be effected. These "repalra** were made rn the dead of night by robbing the preserves of nearly every partridge and quail they contained and making off— with the booty.

The peasants bury a small cask of brandy, and raise a mound with a cross on it having this inscription: "To remind us for all time that we have promised to drink no more brandy,'* Prof. Huxley, one of the ablest and most profound thinkers of the last century, in a letter dated April 9, 1899, states his opiuion in regard to the use of alcohol in brain work. In answer to the inquiry of a gentleman he w r i t e s : "Speaking for myself, I can say' without hesitation that I would just as soon take a dose of arsenic as I would alcohol, under such circumstances. Indeed, on the whole, 1 should think the arsenic safer, less likely to lead to physical and moral degradation. It would be better to die outright than to be alcoholized before death." The Russian government is encouraging temperance societies, having appropriated large amount to aid in the prosecution of their work. The appropriation for 1900 was $1,290,719. It is expected that by the end of 1902 every one of the 78 provinces of Russia, including Siberia, will have been included in the sphere of activity of these societies. The leading newspaper of Russia has repeatedly stated that the most important impediment in the way of Russia's rapid progrrss 1 i es in those " tw i u relics of .barbarism"—illiteracy and intemperance among the peasant classes, which comprise 75 per cent, of the population.

When Richard Wagner was conductor of the Royal Opera in Dresden, the orchestra of that institution, though one of the best in Germany, was far from being as good as it Is now, and Wagner had a good deal ,of trouble iu making it follow his intentions. Some years later, when he was living as oil exile in Zurich, he undertook to train the local .orchestra. After a few attempts he exclaimed, "Gentlemen, you have just given me a great pleasure; you have played exactly as badly as the Dresden orchestra." The Zurich players laughed, and the Idea that they might play better than the royal musicians in Dresden so fired their zeal that they actually succeeded in doing it. <SWA Pawnee, O. T. Deo. 11, 1901. Dear Sir: As a great many of your readers are acquainted with the trip to Chicago 1 will not say anything about that part of the journey. I arrived in Chicago on Tuesday morning at about eight o'clock and as I could not leave until six p. m. I had a good chance to visit interesting parts of the city, which I did. Chicago was a very interesting city to me as I had never been there before. Some places of interest were the stock show and yards, the grand and large bui ldings on State St., the docks, train, yards, and another interest were the pickpockets which were numerous. I believe had I not been warned by a gentleman who knew the ways of them I should have been in the city without a cent, before night. They will do anything, you will think they are going to be a very accomodating friend and will show you all around the city but before you are aware of it you are among 15 or 20 rogues who are going to have what valuables you have. My journey the remaining distance was very pleasant. I left Chicago on Tuesday at six p. m. on the Santa Fe R. R. The train I came on contained three baggage, two smokers, eight day coaches and five sleepers. Each car was full as could be. The first sight in the morning was the Mississippi River at Ft. Madison. The river at this place is, I was told, one mile in breadth and the railroad bridge which spans it is a little more than a mile long. The river is very deep, aud the water is quite dark and muddy. Through the state of Missouri to the Missouri river the country is about the same all th e way, it is rather rolling with low hills. The crops are rather poor cornbeing the princip le crop, very little of it is cut nearly all picked. There were many fields, I could safely say, contained 100 acres of corn; the rows go as far as the eye could see, and as straight as a line could be draw%. Most of the fields were level, the rough land not being worked at all. There is but little timber, the largest being about 18 to 30 inches in diameter. The Missouri river was one of the greatest of sights I have seen. I t is-ciossed six times by the railroad before reaching Kansas City Kan. The river bed is from 40 to 160 rods in width and at this time of the year, the part I saw contains very little water. I have seen as high as six streams in the river bed, the remainder of the bed is clean white sand and is used by many as a wagon road this time of the year. , The railroad alone the river is very crooked and in some of the curves you can look nearly directly down and see water. This is in western Missouri the river bottom—as it is called—is a level valley sometimes only three or four miles in breadth, others as far as the eye can see and on each side is a bank from 20 to 200 feet high, in places very steep, nearly straight up and often rocky. The Sante Fe railroad most of the way is south of the river and on the river bottom. The river is very crooked and runs first on one side then oa the other of this river bottom. Nothing grows in here except what farmers raise— except a very few weeds and very seldom a tree, On the north side of the river in the bottom is another railroad and yon can see it sometimes. When I come there was a train on the road and it was in sight all the time sometimes very far off. Kansas City Mo. is a very interesting city, it contains very large buildings and is very hilly. The city centre being about 600 feet higher than the tra^n yards. I n the outskirts of town I saw hundreds of cattle penned up and a great many train loads on their way to market. I reachod Lawerence Kan, at 11:20 Wednesday a. m. This town is about the size of Ann Arand has the U. of K., Haskell Institute and Indian school. A very interesting place. CHAS. POOLE.

An Xnold«nt Ihovrinw the MiHtiarr Courage Of the Montenegrin. In military courage the Montenegrin probably stands at the head of European races. The best wish for a baby boy Is, "May you not die in your bed I" and to face death Is, to man or boy, only a joyous game, Says W. J. Stillman in his "Autobiography:" I have seen a man under a heavy Turkish Are deliberately leave the trenches and climb tho breastwork, only to expose himself from sheer bravado. While lying at headquarters at Oreabuk, awaiting the opening of the campaign in 1S77, 1 was walking one day with the prince, when a boy of 16 or 18 approached us, cap in baud. "Now," said the prince, "I'll show you an interesting thin^. This boy is the last of a good family. His father and brothers were all killed in the last battle, and 1 ordered him to go home and stay with his mother and sisters, that the family might not become extinct." The boy drew near and stopped before us, his bead down, his cap in hand. "What do you want?" asked the prince. "1 want to go back to my battalion." "But," said the prince, "you are the last of your line, and I cannot allow a good family to be lost. You must go home and take care of your mother." The boy began to cry bitterly. "Will you go home quietly and stay there," said the prince, "or will you take a flogging aud be allowed to fight?" Tho boy thought for a moment. A flogsiug. he knew well, is the deepest disgrace that can befall a Montenegrin. "Well." he broke out, "since it isn't for stealing, I'll bo flogged." "No," said the prince, "you must go home." Then the boy broke down utterly. "But," ho cried, "I wnut to avenge my father and brothel's!" lie went away still crying, and the prince said: "Iu spitt of all this he will be iu the next battle?'

Mr. Lang are four L roads equipped with electric traction and all Joined by a loop they all appear to be filled. The steam roads are elevating their tracks too, and in time there will be no more grade crossings. I presume, when I was in Chicago last there was but one L road in operation and only the J.

"To take an example from the level at the foot of Parnassus, I once read, says: "Scott did not care; no, not when , . , he found that he had unwittingly taken | the everlasting, miserable, sticky a line from a poem by the valet of a , black mud, then a visitor would friend.

But what does that motto mean? Speaking; of statues, I missed two in Chicago, that of Columbus, on the lake front and the Policemens monument in the Haymarket.

But Hay, remembering that Miss Croker must have heard her say she wished she would go home, wanted to hide herself. However, she came out from behind the curtain and seated herself close to Estelle. Miss Croker then gave them each a crochet needle. "This blue ball Is for you," she said, placing the wool in Estelle's lap. 'The mauve for you," and she dropped another ball in Maude's hands, "and the pink for little Rosy Ray/' The children laughed merrily, but at the lady's last words their faces grew very long. "Now, girls," "I want three mats for my dressing case at home andxI know you will be delighted to make me a present before I go, which will be very soon now." She looked at Ray while she spoke and then left the room. "Horrid thing!" said Ray, as the door close.!. "I< won't knit a mat for her. I thought she meant to give us the wool." "It just serves us right for talking about mamma's friend as we did," replied Estelle. "We will have to knit them. Come, Ray, I'll begin yours, and Maude, don't you remember? Make a chain of three stitches and the next row plain." They were all three fond of this kind of work and presently forgot their disappointment. The sun was just setting when Estelle said: "There, that's the last of the wool and my mat's done. But just see what a big wad of paper Miss Croker rolled her wool upon." She tossed the paper under the grate and fastened off her knitting neatly. "And mine's finished," said Maude, and here is another great roll of paper, and there is something hard in it. Maude opened it slowly, laughing as she did so. A bright five dollar gold piece. "Oh, look! Just look! I wonder ii Miss Croker meant to put it there!" "I am sure I don't know," answered Estelle, but wait until Ray has finished her mat then we will go and ask her." "It is done," said Ray, "and here is another five dollar gold piece. Estelle, you'd better get a poker and pull out that paper you threw under the grate." Estelle soon had the paper in her hand, and sure enough, there was a third gold piece hidden away in it. "She must really intend them for us," said Ray. "I feel so. ashamed because she heard me say, 'I wish she would go home.' " While the three girls with the money in their hand3 and the mats in their laps were wondering what they ought to do, Mi£s Croker walked in. "So I see my mats are finished," sh« said. "They are very pretty and I will keep them always in remembrance of my three little friends."' Estelle held up the shining coin. "I found this in my ball," she said. "I put it there as a little surprise for you," replied Miss Croker, "and now I hope you can buy some small gift for your mamma and papa. Then she added, "Come, children, hurry on your wraps and I will take you down town to choose your presents." Never did three little girls dress in such short time. Miss Croker took them to such wonderful stores and was so pleasant and kind that the three little girls never forgot that New Year's Eve. The gifts that they carried home to their parents, which were selected under Miss Croker's advice, were really very pretty. . » Estelle, Maude and May Robbins stood in the window with their heads close together. "I am so sorry," whispered Estelle. "I do so want to make mamma and papa n New Year's present and I have spent all my money—every cent." "So have I," said Rosy, "and I have not kept even a piece of ribbon or an ounce of worsted." "It is too dreadful," Maude whispered. "If that horrid Miss Croker had not insisted upon our buying those little books at the fair we would all have had plenty of money. I wonder now long she is going to stay. She is so fussy," said Maude. "Nothing suits her. Sometimes she says: 'This egg is too soft, Lizzie; take it away and bring mc another.' Then Lizzie makes up a face and I have to laugh." "Well, but Maude," said Estelle, who was the eldest, "that is wrong. The girl who is hired to wait on the table should never make faces, no matter what happens; and you must never laugh at her again. I am sure Miss Croker saw you this morning." "But she is fussy," said Ray, "and I wish she would go home." "Mamma likes her," replied Estelle. "You know she was mamma's teacher once and some one left her a big fortune and so she stopped teaching." "And mamma says, too, that she is very charitable and gives heaps and neaps to the poor people," put in Ray. "Then I wish she had bought those books herself instead of making us spend all our money," grumbled Maude. "If we had been honest and said right out, 'I want all my money for "AND THE PINK FOR ROSY RAY." myself,' perhaps she would," said Estelle. "Tomorrow is New Year's day. It Is too late to get anything now," sighed Ray. "If we only had some of that lovely wool Miss Croker has been winding for the last three days, we could knit mamma some beautiful mats lor her dressing case. I could knit one before dark," said Estelle, mournfully. "Could you, my dear?" said a voice close behind them. The three children turned and saw Miss Croker sitting in a rocking chair Just behind them. They did not know how long she had been there or how much she had heard, but she had three large balls of brilliant colored wool in her lap. "Are yon sure, Estelle, that you could make a mat before dark?" said Miss Croker, looking over her spectacles at the three blushing faces before her. Maude and Ray answered "Yes." very shyly. "Then," said ,: the lady, "sit down there on the isafa and \ will give you* each one of these balls of wool." "You are very kind," said Estelle. Brace up! .Acquit yourselves like men; Swear off! And don't swear on again. —L, A. W. Bulletin (Copyright, 1901, Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, Dec. 22.—This discourse of Dr. Talmage is full of the nativity and appropriate for the holidays; text, Luke ii., 16, "And they came with haste and found Mary and Josoph, and the babe lying in a manger." The black window shutters of a December night were thrown open and some of the best singers of a world where they all sing stood there, and putting back the drapery of cloud chanted a peace anthem until all the echoes of hill and valley applauded and encored the halleluiah chorus. Come, let us go into that Christmas scene as though we had never before worshiped at the manger. Here is a Madonna worth looking at. I wonder not that the most frequent name in all lands and in all Christian centuries is Mary., And tlnre are Marys in palaces and Marys in cabins, and, though German and French ami Italian and Spanish and English pronounce it differently, they are all namesakes of the one whom we find on a bed of straw, with her pale face against the soft cheek of Christ in the night of the nativity. All the great painters have tried, on canvas, to present Mary and her child and the incidents of that most famous night in the world's history. Raphael, in three different masterpieces, celebrated them. Tintoretto and Ghirlandajo surpassed themselves In the adoration of the magi. Correggio needed to do no more than his Madonna to become immortal. The "Madonna of the Lily," by Leonardo da Vinci, will kindle the admiration of all ages. But all the galleries of Dresden are forgotten when I think of the small room of that gallery containing the "Sistine Madonna." Yet all of them were copies of St. Matthew's Madonna and Luke's Madonna, the inspired Madonna of the old book, which we had put into our hands when we were infants and that we hope to have under our heads when we die. Behold, in tiie first place, that on the night of Christ's life God honored the brute creation. You cannot go into that Bethlehem barn without going past the camels, the mules, the dogs, the oxen. The brutes of that 3table heard the first cry of the ir.fant Lord. Some of the old painters represent the oxen and camels kneeling that night before the new-born babe. And well might they kneel! Have you ever thought that Christ came, among other 'Mugs, to alleviate the sufferings of the brute creation? Was it not appropriate that he should, during the first few days and nights of his life on earth, be surrounded by the dumb beasts, whose moan and plaint and bellowing have for age3 been a prayer to God for the arresting of their tortures and the righting of their wrongs? Not a kennel in all the centuries, not a bird's nest, not a worn-out horse on towpath, not a herd freezing In the poorly built cowpen, not a freight car in summer time bring the beeves to market without water through a thour sand miles of agony, not a surgeon's room witnessing the struggles of fox or rabbit or pigeon or dog in the horrors of vivisection, but has an interest in the fact that Christ was born in a stable surrounded by brutes. Standing then, as I imagine now I do, in that Bethlehem night with an infant Christ on one side and the speechless creatures of God on the other, I cry: Look out how you strike the rowel into that horse's side; take off that curbed bit from that bleeding mouth; remove that saddle from that raw back; shoot not for fun that bird that is too small for food; forget not to put water into the cage of that canary; throw out some crumbs to those birds caught too far north in the winter's inclemency; arrest that man who is making that one horse draw a load heavy enough for three; rush In upon that scene where boys are torturing a cat or transfixing a butterfly and grasshopper; drive not off that old robin, for her nest is a mother's cradle and under her wing there may be three or four musicians of the sky in training. In your families and in your schools teach the coming generation more mercy than the present generation has ever shown and in this marvelous Bible picture of the nativity, while you point out to them the angel, show them also the camel, and while they hear the celestial chant let them also hear the cow's moan. Behold also in this Bible scene how on that Christmas nisrht God honored childhood. Childhood was to be honored by that advent. He must have a child's light limbs and a child's dimpled hand and a child's beaming eye and a child's flaxen hair, and babyhood was to be honored for all time to come, and a cradle was to mean more than a grave. Mighty God, may the reflec- Enough have a41 these fathers and mothers on hand if they have a child scernter• a S g ^ W , ' t t a d e r i charge.;] Be1 careful now you strike him across the head, Jarring the brain. What you say to him will be centennial and millennial, and a hundred years and a thousand years will not stop the echo and re-echo. Do not say, "It is only a child." Rath*? say, "It is only an immortal." It is only a masterpiece of Jehovah. It is only a being that shall outlive sun and moon and star and ages, quadriennial. God has infinite resources, and he can give presents of great value, but when he wants to give the richest possible gift to a household he looks around all the worlds and all the universe and then gives a child. Yea, in all ages God has honored childhood. He makes almost every picture a failure unless there be a child either playing on the floor or looking through the window or seated on the lap gazing into the face of the mother. It was a child in Naaman's kitchen that told the great Syrian warrior where he might go and get cured of the leprosy, which at his seventh plunge in the Jordan was left at the bottom of the river. It was to the cradle of leaves in which a child was laid, rocked by the Nile, that God called the attention of history, It was a sick child that evoked Christ's curative sympathies. It was a child that Christ set in the midst of the squabbling disciples to teach the lesson of humility. A child decided Waterloo, showing the army of Blucher how they could take a short cut through the fields when if the old road had been followed the Prussian general would have come up too late to save the destinies of Europe. It was a child that decided Gettysburg, he having overheard two Confederate generals in a conversation in which they decided to march for Gettysburg Instead of Harrisburg. and. this reported to Governor Curtin, the Federai forces started to meet their opponents at Gettysburg. And to-day the child is to decide all the great battles, make all the laws, settle all the destinies and usher in the world's salvation or destruction. Men, women, nations, all earth and all heaven, behold the child! Notice also that In this Bible night scene God honored science. Who are the three wise men kneeling before the Divine Infant? Not boor, not ignoramuses, but Caspar, Balthasar and Melchior, men who knew ail that was to be known. They were the Isaac Newtons and Herschels and Faradays of their time. Their alchemy was the forerunner of our sublime chemistry, their astrology the mother of our magnificent astronomy. And when I see these scientists bowing before the beautiful babe I see the prophecy of the time when all the telesopes and microscopes and all the Leyden jars and all the electric batteries and all the observatories ani all the universities shall bow to Jesus. It is much that way already. Where is the college that does not have morning prayers, thus bowing at the manger? Who have been the greatest physicians? Omitting the names of the living lest we should be invidious, have we not had among them Christian men like James Y. Simpson and Ru3h and Valentine Mott and Abercrombie and Abernethy? Who have been our greatest scientists? Joseph Henry, who lived and died in the faith of the gospels, and Agassiz. who, standing with his students among the hills, took off his hat and said, "Young gentlemen, before we study these rocks let us pray for wisdom to the God who made the rocks." All geology will yet bow before the Rock of Ages. All botany will yet worship the Rose of Sharon. All astronomy will yet recognise the Star of Bethlehem. Behold also that on th?t Christmas night God honored motherhood. Two angels on their wings might have b:ought an infant Savior to Bethlehem without Mary's being there at all. When the villagers on the morning of December 26 awoke, by divine arrangement and in some unexpected way the child Jesus might have been found in some comfortable cradle of the village. But no. no! Motherhood for ail time was to be consecrated, and one of the tenderest relations was to be the maternal relation and one of the sweetest words "mother." In all ages God has honored good motherhood. John Wesley had a good mother. St. Bernard had a good mother, Samuel Budgett a good mother, Walter Scott a good mother, Benjimin West a good mother. In a great audience, most of whom were Christians. I asked that all those who had been blessed of Christian mothers arise, and almost tho entire assembly stood up. Do you not see how important it is that all motherhood be consecrated? Why did Titian, the Italian artist, when he sketched the Madonna make it an Italian lace? Why did Rubens, the German artist, in his Madonna make it a German face? Why did Joshua Reynolds, the English artist, In his Madonna make it an English face? Wny did Murillo, the Spanish artist, in his Madonna make U a ftpanlafe tftcvf I never heard, bat I think they took their own mothers as _th<a,t»e l«f Mary, the mother of CKHsi " * Tne 'first wort a cl#d Utter* * apt t o U e "Mother!".and tft* old man Jn his dying dream calls, "Mother, mother!" It matters not whether aha was brought up j n the surroundings of a city and irf an affluent home and was dressed appropriately with reference to the demands of modem lite or whether she wore the old time cap and great round spectacles and apron of her own make and knit your socks with her own needles seated by the broad fireplace, with great backlog ablaze, on a winter's night; it mat' ters not how many wrinkles crossed and reerossed her face or how much her shoulders stooped with the burdens of a long life, if you painted a Madonna hers would be the face. What a gentle hand she had when we were sick and what a voice to soothe pain, and was there any one who could so fill up a room with peace and purity and light? And what a sad day that was when we came home and she could greet us not, for her lips were forever still. Come back, mother, in these Christmas times and take your old place and as ten or twenty or fifty years ago come and open the old Bible as you used to, read and kneel in the same place where you used to pray and look upon us as of old when you wished us a merry Christmas or a happy New Year. But no! That would not be fair to call you back. You had troubles enough and aches enough and bereavements enough while you were here. Tarry by the throne, mother, till we join you there, prayers all answered, and in the eternal homestead of our God we shall again keep Christmas jubilee together. But speak from your thrones, all you glorified mothers, and say to all these, your sons and daughters, words of love, words of warning, words of cheer. They need your voice, for they have traveled far and with many a heartbreak since you left them, and yon do well to call from the heights of heaven to the valleys of earth. Hail, enthroned ancestry! We are coming. Keep a place right beside you at the banquet. Slow footed years! More swiftly run Into the gold of that unsetting s'-n. Homesick we are for thee, Calm land beyond the sea. Behold aLso in that first Chistmas night that God honored the fields. Come in, shepherd boys, to Bethlehem, and see the child. "No," they say; "we are not dressed good enough to come in." "Yes, you are. Come in." Sure enough, the storms and the night dew and the brambles have made rough work with their apparel, but none has a better right to come in. They were the first to hear the music of that Christmas night. The first announcement of a Savior's birth was made to those men in the fields. There were wiseacres that night in Bethlehem and Jerusalem snoring in deep sleep, and there were salaried officers of government who, nearing of it afterward, may have thought that they ought to have had the first news of such a great event, some one dismounting from a swift oamel at their door and knocking till at some sentinel's question, "Who conies there?" the great ones of the palace might have been told of the celestial arrival. No; the shepherds heard the first two bars of the music: the first in the major key and the last in the subdued minor, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will to men.' Ah, yes, the fields were honored. The old shepherds, with plaid and crook, have for the most part vanished, but we have grazing on our United States pasture fields and prairie about 42,000,000 sheep, nnd all their keepers ought to follow the shepherds of my text and ali those who toil in fields—all vine dressers, all orchardists, all husbandmen. Not only that Christmas night, but all up and down the world's history, God has been honoring the fields. Nearly all the messiahs of reform and literature and eloquence and law and benevolence have come from the fields. Washington from the fields. Jefferson from the fields. The presidential martyrs, Garfield and Lincoln and McKinley, from the fields. Henry Clay from the fields. Daniel Webster from the fields. Martin Luther from the fields. Before this world 13 right the overflowing populations ol our crowded cities will have to take to the fields. Instead of, ten merchants in rivalry as to who shall sell that one apple we want at least eight of them to go out and raise apples. Instead of ten merchants desiring to sell that one bushel of wheat we want at least eight of them to go out and raise wheat. The world wants now mors hard hands, more bronzed cheeks, more muscular arms. To the fields! God honored them when he woke up the shepherds by the midnight anthem, and he will while the world lasts continue to honor the fields. When Jhe shepherd's crook was that famous night stood against-the wall of the Bethlehem khan, it was a prophecy of the time when thrasher's flail and farmer's plow and woodman's ax and ox's yoke and sheaf binder's rake shall surrender to the God who made the country as man made the town. ; • ! • * ^ *., m T . *?V: •/* p • * " J » .

Elliot the miller in taking it off discharged it, the charge struck him in the side killing him instantly. Funeral mon* day at 1 o'clock. Greek and Roman Stovei. Warm as Greece and Borne and Egypt are, stoves were made there In the dim and misty vistas of the past. It was not just the pattern used at present, but was a metal basin in which charcoal was burned. It sat In the middle of the room, and as the resulting smoke was of the slightest no opening in the roof or elsewhere was necessary, ^ h e same implement, still called by Hs old Greek name of brazier, is now employed in many portions of continental Europe, where it is utilized for heating as well as cooldug. But the progressive Romans improved on that and made a hypocaust. It was the germ of the present furnace. It was made under the house in a little cellar prepared for it, and the heat was conducted to the rooms and baths through crevices left in the floor and lower portions of the wall. Later flues were provided, conducting heat to any portion of the house. In some of the old Roman villas in England the remains of these old time furnaces are still found. Origin of the Clearing Honne. In 1775 the bankers of London rented a house in Lombard street and fitted it with tables and desks for the use of their clerks as a place where bills, notes, drafts and other commercial paper might be exchanged without the trouble of personal visits of employees to all the metropolitan banks. Transfer tickets were used, and by means of this simple plan transactions involving many millions were settled without, a penny changing hands. The Bank of England and every other important bank in London are members of the Clearing House association. The first clearing house in the United States was established by the associated banks of New York In 1853. Her Reference*. Mrs. Hiram—And have you any references? Applicant—No, mum; Oi tored 'em up!

There is a belief prevalent in India that if a man be Bleeping, no matter where, and a Sheth Nag come and sit beside htm, with* a hood spread over the sleeper's face, the latter is sure to be a son of fortune. Popular traditionassigns the same reason to the rise of rinrfda AJ! of Mysore from a common loldter. "Mr. Wlngrov* yoo haven't asked about Claire.

Of course I had a great deal of—respect for. your daughter, rod «o on, bnt she threw me over for that other fellow, and I went to the Cape. I tried not only to forget my trouble, but to forget her us well. That was the only thing to do. W a s n t It?" "Did you succeed?" No answer. "Have you quite forgotten,; Mrr^WTngroveV" "Well—of course—that Is—yes 1" "Then why have you come to see me?' "Surely we are old friends. Remember how kind you were to me when 1 was a student at Heidelberg. Your house was a home to me at a time when I most needed good Influences, and when she joined you and I began to love her I don't know whether you saw how things were going, but you were so kind and helpful that my time there was the best and happiest I have ever known. And then, when It all turned out wrong and everything seemed going round, your gentle sympathy steadied me. and I got through somehow." "I was so sorry for you, poor boy!" "You have always been good to me, and, though goodness knows I'm nothing to boast of, if it hadn't been for you I don't know where I should have landed. A fellow doesn't forget these things, Mrs. Kingston, though at the time he may not qnite understand them." "By the way, Mr. Wingrove, do you still care for; Claire?" "Mrs. Kingston, what a question!" "Do you?" "Really—but. bang it all—you must not ask me t h a t It isn't right—indeed it isn't." "Don't you know? Didn't they ever tell you? She's a widow, Mr. Wingrove." "Claire a widow! But how? When?" "He died more than a year ago; Influenza— quite unexpected. It was so sad!" "And I have been away all this time without knowing a word about It! Heavens! I don't care who hears it now. 1 may speak. I love her just as much as ever, an(L by Jove, she must marry me! Claire free"— "Hush, Mr. Wingrove. I am very sorry 1 spoke about it, but I thought— I hoped—you had really forgotten her. Oh, why did you come back just at this moment? Claire is not free." "I—don't—understand." "She is going to marry John Mearsdale. He was one of your rivals, you will remember, and, though 1 don't think she ever liked him in the way she did you, he pleaded so hard and was so devoted that at last she took him. You know what an extraordinary fascination she has over men. Ever since I can remember, even when she was the merest schoolgirl, they have come round her and liked to look at her and hear her talk. There is something magnetic about her. I suppose, but where she gets it from"— "Who knows better than I how hopelessly irresistible she is? But never mind that now. What I want to kno«7 is why didn't you or somebody let me know what had happened a_nd give me another chance. I know she liked me better than Mearsdale. She often told me so. After ail that there was between us, was it fair or kind to leave me sticking out there while he had everything his own way here?" "But. my dear boy, how could we write to,you-after that vow you took?" "Vow! In heaven's name, what vow?" "Can you have forgotten?" (Opens an escritoire and produces a manuscript.)

"Mrs. Kingston, you don't mean to say that that absurd Jingle prevented you from writing to me?" "You sigued it, Mr. Wingrove." "Signed It! I've signed a thousand idiotic things that ought never to be made binding on me. Why, 1 was about nineteen when I wrote it—a mere irresponsible boy, Look at i t Wretched stuff, such as all boys write when they're in love for the first time, which ought to be swept together and burned by the common hangman.

Our types as they are put together each week will chronicle the events as they come and go and in the end will he a history of the events as they have taken place in our village. The past year has been one of general suecess and moderate prosperity anjd while nature has a great deal to do with success and failure still our own individual efforts have the most to .do with our success. W^-eamae-k sit down and wait for business to come to us but the man who succeds the coming year must brush off the cobwebs and "get afte^ 'em." The aim of the DESPATCH will be the same (with and endeavor to do better) to get all the news that is fit to publish. We shall try and show no favor out treat all alike. If you do not see your name in print as often as you do someone else's, please remember that we can not get all of the news without some help from you. If you know any news please be kind enough to hand it to us or send it in and this will help us make the DISPATCH better in 1902 than in the previous year. Wishing all a happy New Year and success in business, we remain Your Humble Servants, F. L. ANDREWS & Co. To Our Patrons- We wish to advise all our patrons and friends who have un-settled accounts and past due notes, to come and settle as soon as possible as we must balance our books at time of inventory. Thanking all for past favors and wishing you a Happy New Year, we are* ^ Very truly yours, .-? WELL A Complete Success. The Columbian Dramatic Club of St. Mary's church made essay in the values of drama seldom attempted by amateur companies. The play "Held by the Enemy" by Wm. Gillette gives or^portuniiy for every line of passion from the deeply sentimental to the liveliest kind of Comedy. To mention each detail would require too innch 3pace, but the character protrayal of the leading parts demands recognition. The tender loving nature of Rachel was admirably acted by Mrs. James A. Greene showing forth the highest form of the heroic in her plea for her cousin's life in the 2nd act. James A. Greene in that intense strife between love for Rachel and duty to his country, made a decided hit. Lincoln Smith often has proven to be a deep student of the Histrionic art, and his ringing speech at the close of the 2nd act made a deep impression. Rill Monks as the Special for Leslie's proved his ability in comic lines. His brilliant sallies kept the audience in good humor. The part of Susan was not acted but Susan lived, moved and talked in the person of Mae Moran. Lela Monks' clear enunciation of her lines was thoroughly enjoyed. The personification of Surgeon Fielding by Dr. J. W. Monks was a creation of art John Tiplady, James FiUsinimons, Casper Culhane and Bert Roche gave evidence in their minor parts of great skill, proving that no part is small that is weil performed. When Rufus made the ofler to sacrifice himself for his master, the silence of the audience was the greatest tribute to the acting of Guy Haney. The guards were ever alert and always in the proper place. The pleasing, singing of Miss Emma Reason and Mae Moran Will Kennedy and L. E. Smith, the duets of Frank Bowers and Mabel Sigler and of Kate Ruen and Henry Isham rendered the evening of the play one to b» long remembered by large and appreciative audience. We thank the dob for their efforts and hope they will oome again. Proceeds 990. There are Five Boys How. Hanging .onder the mantle of Bey, and Mrs. O. 13.

Y.) Washington, Dec 29.—While this discourse of Dr. Talmage rebukes arrogance, it encourages humanity and sfcowe howthe evening of Ufa may be brightened. The text is I Kings « , IXt "Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth It off." The text makes a comparison between a man enlisting for some war and a veteran returning, the one putting on the armor and the other puttins it off. Benhadad, the king of Syria, thought be could easily overcome the king of iaraeL Indeed, the Syrian was so sure •of the victory that he spread an antetellum banquet There were in ail thirty-three kings at the carousal, and their condition is described in the Bible not as convivial or stimulated exaltation, but drunk. Benhadad sends oficers over to. the king of Israel demanding the surrender of the city, saytag, "Thou shalt deHvernme-thynrtt^ > < * * • >v- *: ft*:- IT**' '. y< • id' - A.- i •¥• I and thy gold and thy wives and 'flay children," and afterward sends ' Jltbyer officers, saying that the palace •f thekisg wiii he searched and everything Benhadad wants he will take without /asking. Then the king of Israel called a council of war, and word is sent hack to Benhadad that his unreasonable demand will be resisted. Then Benhadad sends another message fta the king of Israel, a message full /-of arrogance and bravado. Then the .king of Israel replied to Benhadad, < jyractically saying: "Let me see you do what you say. Tou huzza too soon. 'Let not hint that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it An avalanche of courage and rlght- •eousness, the Israelltish army came on Benhadad and his host. It a hand to hand fight, each Israel- r tte hewing down a Syrian. Benhadad, > on horseback, gets away with some of ' t h e cavalry, but is only saved for a worse defeat, in which 100,000 Syrian Infantry were slaughtered in one day. How we see the sarcasm and the epiivfrrammatic power of the message of say text sent by the king of Israel to . Benhadad, "Let not him that girdeth • «n his harness boast himself as he that v putteth it off." First, I find encouragement in this • subject for the aged who have got >through the work and struggle of 'earthly life. With more or less fortitude yon passed through the crises of pain and sadness and disappointment and fatigue and still live to recount the divine help that sustained you. At i twenty or thirty years of your age at -the tap of the drum you put on the harness. Now, at sixty or seventy or -eighty, yon are peacefully putting it ••«•. Ton would not want to try the battle of life over again. So let all of -the aged in peace with God, through -the blessed Christ, cultivate contentment and thank the Lord their Sedan ftas been fought and the war is over. **Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off." There are old farmers who cannot do one more'day's work. What harvests they raised in 1S70! What droughts, ?what freshets, what insectile invasion, -they remember! To clothe and feed j^and educate the household they went through toils and self sacrifices that tte world knew but little about. Rest, aged man! Let the boys do the shdveiing and thrashing and cutting and sweating. Ton have put the harness «n% and do not try to put it on again. There are old mechanics that can no more shove the plane or pound with the hammer or bore with the bit or nm np the ladder to the scaffolding. You have a right to quit. Tou have inished your task. Be thankful that yoor work is done. Then there are aged physicians. What tragedies of pain and accident they have witnessed! How much suffering they have assuaged! How many brave battles they have fought with lancet and cataclysm! How many fevers they cooled! How many broken '• hones they set. God comfort and bless the old doctors, allopathic, homeopathic, hydropathic and eclectic, and nmke them willing to be out of prac- 'tlee! Before long they will hear the 'henedlotkm of him who said, "I was nick, and ye visited me." And there.are the old ministers, •<0*ce they were foremost in general as- /.seniblies and conferences and associaftlons. Now they have stopped prsachiofc, for their breath is short, or their ' nerves are a-jangle, or they loss their thread ot discourse or suffer from conclusion of ideas. Cheer up, aged domrinies ahtf doctors S The-Bible says God rfbrgete our sins when we repent ot tthetn, but he never forgets faithful services rendered. Be cogent to stop. -"Let not hta that gtadeth on his hardness bnnnt IflsfcSeJf as h# that putteth Again, I isarn from Benhadad's bebavior the unwiidom or boasting of what ons is going to do.. Bstter not teU boastingly what you are going to do. Walt until it Is done, tou do well to lay out your plans, but there are so many mistakes and disappointments In life that you may not be able to carry out your plans, and there is no need of invoking the world's derision and caricature. Napoleon was so sure of conquering England, Scotland and Ireland that he had a medal struck; celebrating the conquest, which he never made, On that medal was represented his own crowned head. Wilberforce did not tell what he was going to do with the slave trade, but how much he accomplished is suggested by Lord Brougham's remark concerning Wilberforce after his decease, "He went to heaven with 800,000 broken fetters in his hand." The only kind of boasting that prospers was that of Paul, who cried out, "r glory in the cross of Christ!" and that of John Newton, who declared, "I am not what I ought to be; I am not what « wish to be; I am not what I hope to be, but, by the grace of Gcd, r am not what I was." My subject is also a refutation of the famous sentiment that God is on the side of the heaviest artillery. God is not on the side of the most swords or the most war chariots or the most cannon if they be in t?ie wrong, but oirthe~side of the-right The Southwestern his place of employment On ^ 4 ^ / - ^ ^ ^ 1 ^ Thif i f * s - t h r * e s ^ 5 ^ . m WU^ shire of Landsdowh Terrace, Cains. Wis., who during this time suffered ths preposterous sentiment as I have mentioned should have gained sway I know not when all history proclaims the opposite. How insignificant. were the unarmed Israelites, half starved and unorganized, compared with Pharaoh's host on foot, on horseback and charioted! But the waves of the Red sea took part in the conflict, parting to let the pursued pass, but coming together to destroy the pursuers. The Midianltes and Amalekltes were like grasshoppers for multitudes, but 300 men under Gideon came down, their ownly weapons pitchers and' lamps and trumpets, and as they held up the lamps and threw down the pitchers and blew' the trumpets the flash of the lights and the blare of the instruments and the crash ot the crockery made their enemy fall back in wild terror. Notice also that my text takes it for granted that you must put on the, harness, else how can you take It off? Life is a battle—a thirty years', a forty years' or a sixty years' war. Every possible effort will be made to make you think wrong. The young man who gets his head filled with wrong notions about God, about Christ, about the soul, about the great beyond, is already captured. Think right, and you will act right. Keep the heart pure, and the life will be pure. Have the heart corrupt, and your actions will be corrupt. We hold our breath in horror as once in awhile we hear of someone, either by accident or suicide, going over Niagara Falls, but the tides, the depths, the awful surges of intemperance, are every hour of every day rushing scores of immortals down into unfathomed abysm. Suicides by the hundreds of thousands! Suicides by the million! Beware of the cup out of which Benhadad drank personal and national demolition. Yes, you must have full armor. There are temptations to an impure life all the time multiplying and intensifying. Read in private and discussed afterward by the refined and elegant in parlors are books poisoned from lid to lid with impurities. Loose characters in the novel applauded by rhetorical pens and proprieties of life caricatured as prudery and infidelity of behavior put in a way to excite sympathy and half approval. My wonder Is not that so many go astray, but my wonder is that ten times as many are not debauched. There are influences at work which, if unarrested, will turn our cities into Sodoms and Gomorrahs ready for the hail and fire and brimstone of God's indignation. Yes, you must have full armor, for there are all the temptations to gaming practices, either in gambling halls or in the money markets, buying what they never paid, for and selling what they can never deliver, first borrowing w&at they cannot return and stealing what they cannot borrow. All hours of the day and all hours of the night are vast sums of money passing fraudulently, for gambling in all cases is fraud, whether it be a twenty-five cent prize package or a crash in Northern Pacific, which made Lombard street and the bourse aghast and shook the nations with financial earthquake. Oh, yes, you need the harness on until God tells you to take It off. In olden time It was leathern armor or chain armor or ribbed armor, fashioned in ancient foundry, but no one can give you the outfit you need except God, who is master of this world and the infernal world, from which'ascend the mightiest hostilities. Lay hold of God. Nothing but the arm of Omnipotence is strong enough for the tempted. Young man, put on the entire gospel outfit If you have eome from the country to live in the city, imitate the example of a young man who arrived in New York on Saturday night, inmoming, carryings out the good ad vies before leaving his country home he went to church. Standing at tb< door* he was abashed as the-beauty. an<! fashion and wealth swept through th« doors, of the sanctuary, and he>dare<j not go In. As. he was about turning tc go away a gentleman said, "Have you a seat, young man.?" "No, sir." "D« you belong to ths city?": - "No, sir/ "Where is your home?!' "In the country." "How long have you been in the city?" "I came in last night" "What are you going to do here?" "I hope to go into business to-morrow." "That Is right You have begun well, young man. Nevsr forsake the Ood of your fathers. Come, I will give you a seat in my pew." The next morning the young man presented his letter in business circles. "What do you want, young man?" said the Scotch merchant "I want to get credit on some leather, upper and sole." "Have you references?" "I think I can get references. My father has friends here." "Young man, did I not see you yesterday in Mr. Lenox's pew?" "I do not know, sir. I was at church, and a kind gentleman asked me to sit in his pew." "Yes, young man, that was Robert Lenox. I will trust anyone that Mr. Lenox Invites into his pew. You need not trouble yourself about references. When these goods are gone, come and get more."

"I have recommended St Jacob'a Oil and shall conUnue to do so by every means in my power, as I consider you deserving of every support." trlbuted all his success to that first Sabbath in the city. Young man just arrived, put yourself under good influencesyour first day In town. There hangs your helmet. Take it down. There is your breastplate. Adjust it. There is all the harness for safety and triumph. Put it on. Also see in my subject the folly of underestimating the enemy. That was Benhadad's fatal mistake. He wanted less than half a day to capture Samaria and make the king of Israel capitulate. But what he thought was so easy turned out to be the impossible. Better overestimate than underestimate the other side. We who are trying to make the world what it ought to be contend not with horaunculi. We wrestle not with striplings. We have a whole army of antagonists trying to halt the King of God and overthrow the cause of righteousness. If we secure the victory, it will be a struggle as^fierce as when the Greek* and Persians met at Marathon, as when Darius and Alexander grappled each other at Arbela, as when Joan of Arc rode triumphant at Orleans, as when the Russians met the Swedes at Poltava, as when Marlborough commanded the allied armies at Blenheim. Those were fights for earthly crowns and dominions, but the fight that now goes on between all the allied armies of hell is to settle whether God or Satan is to have possession of this planet. I congratulate all those who are now In the thickest of life's battle that the time Is coming when the struggle will end and you will put the harness off, helmet and greaves and breastplate having fulfilled their mission. You cannot in one visit to London Tower see all. You must go again and again. You will see the crowns of kings and queens, the robe worn by the Black Prince, and silver baptismal fonts from which royal infants were christened, and the block on which Lord Lovat was beheaded. But no part of London Tower will more interest you than the armory, in which is skillfully and impressively arranged a collection of all styles of armor worn between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries, suggesting 500 years of conflict—cuirass and neck guard and chin piece and lance rest and gauntlet and girdle and mailed apron. You see just how from head to heel those old time warriors were defended against sharp weapons that would cut or thrust or bruise and allowing them to come out of battle unhurt when otherwise they would have been slain. O ye soldiers of Jesus Christ, when the war of life is over and the victors rest in the soldiers' home on the heavenly heights, perhaps there may be fn the city of the sun a tower of spiritual armor such as incased the warriors for Christ in earthly combat. Some day we may be in that armory and hear the heroes talk of how they fought the good fight of faith and see them with the scars of wounds forever healed and look at the weapons of offense and defense with which they became more than conquerors. In that tower of heaven, as the weapons of the spiritual conflict are examined, St. Paul may point out to us the armor with which he advised tne Epheslans to equip themselves and say: "That is the shield of faith. That is the helmet ol salvation. That is the girdle of truth. That is the breastplate of righteousness. Those are the mailed shoes in which they were shod with the preparation Of the gospel." There and tnaiy miles an hour. Coming down a grade near Adiu Saber's stock fared; the eu- •Hioeer saw-a herd of 209 cattle being driven, over ,tb,e track. It was too late to stop.

Two toys named Seybertn and Bonell « aged 13 and 15 years respectively, who had been out in the country to cut Corfctums trees, reached home, in Eau Claire, Wis., Sunday evenkig almost exhausted from the effects of an assault by a hfguwayman. The boys state that they were attacked by a man who strapped them together and put gags in their nvouths. He then took from them what money they had and dragged them to an abandoned summer house. He fastened the door nnd set tiie house on fire. The boys managed to free themselves after a desperate struggle* and escaped from the burning building. Both were qulto severely, injured by thglr experience. The cottage in which they were confined was totally destroyed. E x » P r e a i d e n t C l e v e l a n d .

The sultan of Turkey's-imperial as* trologer, a Greek named Kumbaris, if a worthy xepiresentative of the prevalent blend of superstition and abysmal ignorance which characterises Abdul Hamld's court This worthy had on one occasion the brilliant idea of erecting a modern astronomical observatory in Yildit Kiosk. When the work was finished and the instruments in place he found he could neither work nor understand them, and consequently a professional astronomer had to be summoned from Naples. This, however, did not diminish the influence of, Kumbaris, who succeeded in preventing the distribution of Mauser rifles among the imperial troops in in Constantinople in 1895 at the first news of Armenian disturbances by-the sage reminder that the previous change in the succession took place immediately after a distribution of new guns. The sincerity of this wonderful piece of advice cannot be doubted, as the self-sacrificing genius who offered it to his worthy master rose from his sick bed to do so. Tablet at AndenonvUla PrUoa.

Wright City, Ma, Dec. 30.—Medical men are still wondering over the Syoies cose, which has aroused such a widespread interest in this neighborhood. Mr. Joseph G. Symes had suffered very severely from Inflammatory Rheumatism, enduring pains which were something terrible and which made It altogether impossible for him to work by day or rest or sleep at night. In spite of all treatments he grew worse and his case seemed to defy all the usual remedies. He began a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills and very soon noticed a marked improvement, which increased as he kept on till six boxes were used, when he found himself without a trace of pain or ache. He 13 now able to work all day and sleep all night, and his rapid and complete recovery is regarded by the doctors as little short of a miracle. End of Stntng-e Romance. The marriage of John M.

HENRY WOOD, Author «f E*«t VyiUM, Ete. » • • • - , . # Rjft&o- Sf-v^j CHAFTBR XVII. - Once qtore Gerard Hop* entered histtncle's^ house; < not a* as laterlopor stealing tat© It t* secret, hut as an honored faest to whom reparation was due, and must be made. Alice Seaton leaned batk-in her invalid chair, a joy- ^oui aush* ori her wasted cheek, and a Joyous happinese iti her eye. Still the shadow tff coming death wus there, and Mr. Hdpe was shocked to see her —more shocked and startled than he had expected, or chose to express. "Oh, AHctf! What has done this?" "That,** she answered, pointing to the bracelet, which, returned to its true owner, lay on the table. "I should not have lived many years, of that I am convinced; hut I might have lived a little longer than 1 now shall. It has been the cause of misery to many, and Lady Sarah says she shall never regard It but as an ill-starred trinket, or wear it with any pleasure." "But, Alice, why should you have suffered it, thus to affect you," he remonstrated.- "You knew your own innocence, and. you say you believed and trusted in mine; what did you fear?" "I will tell you, Gerard," she resumed, a deeper hectic rising in her cheeks. "I could not have confessed my fear, even in dying; it was too distressing, too terrible; but now that it is all clear, I will tell i t I believed my eister had taken the bracelet." He uttered an exclamation of amazement. "I have believed it all along. She had called to see me that night, and was for a minute or two in the room alone with the bracelets; I knew she, at that time, was short of money, and I feared she had been tempted to take it—just as this unfortunate servant man was tempted. Oh, Gerard, the dread of it has been upon me night and day. preying upon my fears, weighing down my spirits, wearing away my health and my life. And I had to bear it all in silence—that dreadful silence that has killed me." "Alice, this must have been a morbidfear." "Not so-—if you knew all. But now that I have told you let us not revert to it again; it is at an end, and I am very thankful. That it should so end has been my prayer and hope; not quite the only hope," she added, looking up at him with a sunny smile; "I have had another." "What is it? You look as if it were connected with me." "So it is. Ah, Gerard! Can you not guess it?" "No," he answered, in a stifled voice. "I can only guess that you arc lost to me." "Lost to all here. Have you forgotten our brief conversation the night you went into exile? I told you then there was one far more worthy of you than I could ever have been." "None will ever be half so worthy; or—I will say it, Alice, in spite of your warning hand—half so loved." "Gerard," she continued, sinking her voice, "she has waited for you." "Nonsense," he rejoined. "She has. I have watched and seen, and I know it; and I tell it you under secrecy; when she is your wife, not before, you may tell her that I saw it and said it. - She is a lovable and attractive girl, and she does not and will not marry; you are the cause." ''My darling-—" "Stay, Gerard," she gravely interrupted; "those words of endearment are not for me. Give them to her; can you deny that you love her?" "Perhaps I do—in a degree. Next to yourself " "Put me out of your thoughts while we speak. If I were—where I BO soon shall be, would she not be dearer to you than any one on earth? Would you not be well pleased to make her your, wife?" "Yes, I might be." "That is enough, Gerard, Frances, come hither." The conversation had been carried on in a whisper, and Lady Francis Cbenevix came towards them from a distant window. Alice took her hand; she also held Gerard's. "I thought you were talking secrets," said Lady Frances, "so I kept away." "As we were," answered Alice. "Frances, what can we do to keep him among us? Do you know what Col. Hope has told him?" "No. What?" "That though he shall be reinstated in favor as to money matters, he shall not be in his affection, or in the house, unless he prove sorry for his rebellion by retracting i t The rebellion, you know, at the first outbreak, when Gerard was expelled from the house before that unlucky bracelet was ever bought; I think he is sorry for it; you must help him to be more so." "Fanny," said Gerard, while her eyelids drooped, and the damask mantled in ber cheek, deeper than Alice's hectic, "will you help me?" "As if I could make head or tail out of what you two are discussing!" cried she by way of helping her out of her confusion, so sbe attempted to turn away; but Gerard caught her to his side and detained her." "Fanny—will you drive me again from the house?" _'. Sheulifted her ey_es_twinkling_wilh a little spice of mischief. "I did not drive you before." "In a manner, yes," he laughed. "Do you know what did drive me?" She had known it at the time, and Gerard read it in her conscious face. "I see it all," he murmured, drawing her closer to him; "you have been far kinder to me than I deserved. Fanny, let me try and repay you for it." Frances endeavored to look dignified, but it would not do, and she was obliged to brush away the tears of happiness that struggled to her eyes. Alice caught their hands together and held them between her own, with a mental aspiration for their life's future happiness. Some time bank she could not have breathed it in so fervent a spirit; but—as she had said—the present world and its hopes had closed to her. "But you know, Gerard," cried Lady Frances, in a Baucy tone, "if,you ever do help yourself to a bracelet in reality, you must not expect me to go to prison with you." "YeB, 1.shall," answered he, far more saucily; "a wife must follow the fortunes of her husband." THE END. W W M N A ^ / y ^ S A < \ A A K Morley Roberts, Mr. Smith, who ran a sailors* boarding- bouse in that part of San Francisco known as the Barbary Coast, was absolutely eui generis. Every breeze0 that blew, trade-wind or monsoon, had heard of his iniquities. He got the best of everyone. "All but one," said Smith, one night, In a moment of weakness, when a dozen men who owed so much money that they crawled to him as a Chinaman does to a joss w<ire hanging on his lips; "all but one.** "Oh, we don't take that in," said one of the most indebted; "we can't 'ardly believe that, Mr. Smith. "Yep, I was done brown and never got the best of one beast," said the boardlng-hotiM • keeper.- -. He looked them over malignantly. "I kin lick any of you here with one hand," he went on, "but the man as belted me could htfve taken on three of yon with both hands. I run against him on the pier,at.Sandridge when I was In Australia fifteen years ago.' He was a naval officer, captain of the Warrior, and dressed up to kill, though he had a face like a figurehead out of mahogany with a broad axe. And r was a feelln* good and in need of a scrap. So when he bumped ag'In me I shoved him over. Prompt X shoved bin. Down he went, ami the in The Strand. > girls that knowed me laughed. And two pt>liccmen came along quick. I didn't care much, but this naval josser picks himself up and goes to 'em. Would you believe it, but when he'd spoke a bit I seed him donate em about a dollar each, and they walked off round a heap of dunnage on the wharf, and the captain buttoned up his coat and came for me. "I never seen the likes of it. He comes up dancln' and smilin', and he kind of give me half a bow, polite as you like, and inside of ten seconds I knew Fd struck a cyclone, right In the spot where they breed. I fought good (you know me) and I got in half a dozen on his face. But I never fazed him none, and he wouldn't bruise mor'n hittln' a boiler. And every time he got back on me I felt as if I'd been kicked. "He scarred me something cruel, I could see It by the blood on his hands. Twarn't bis by a long sight, for his fists were made of teak, I should say. And in the end, when I seemed to see a ship's company of naval officers around me, one of them hit me under the ear and lifted me up. And another hit me whilst I waa in the air. and a third landed me as I fell. And that was the end of it so far'* I remember. They told me afterward ^mmmfmm «»«W»i«iiP"*" be- was^tbe topside fighter m tin ^aU Britftk Nayy/and I'm here to say he M rt "And you never got evenr asked the bartender, seeing that no one took up the challenge. ' • '• ' "Never set eyes on him from that day to this/' said his boss, regvetfnlly. "And if you did?" Smith paused—took a drink. > "So help me I'd Shanghai him if he was King of England!" •.- And one of the crowd who had put down the San. Francisco Chronicle in order to hear this yarn picked it up again. "S'elp me," he said, in breathless excitement, "'ere's a funny coincidence. 'Ere's a telegram from 'Squimault, sayin' as how the flagship Triumphant, Hadmiral Sir Richard Dunn, K. C. B., is comin' down to San Francisco!" . "By Jove, let's look," said Shanghai Smith. He read, and a heavenly smile overspread his hard countenance. He almost looked good, such joy was his. "Tom," he said to the bartender, "set up drinks for the crowd. This is my man, for sure. And him an admiral, too! Holy sailor, ain't this luck?" He went out into the street and walked to and fro, rubbing his hands, while the men inside took their drink. "Was there ever such, luck? Was there ever such luck?" murmured Mr. Shanghai Smith. "To think of him turnin' up all of his own accord on my particular stampin' ground! Holy sailor! was there ever such luck?" The morning of the following day Her Majesty's ship Triumphant lay at her anchors off Saucelito, in San Francisco Bay. Though the admiral did not know it, one of the very first to greet him when he set his foot on dry land at the bottom of Market street was the man he had licked so thoroughly fifteen years before in Melbourne. "Oh, it's the same," said Smith to his chief runner, who was about the "hardest case" in California. "He ain't changed none. Just so old he was when he set about me. I'm goin' to have thishyer admiral shipped before the stick on the toughest ship that's about ready to go to sea. Now what's in the harbor with officers that can lick me?" "Well, I always allowed (as you know, sir) that Simpson of the California was your match. And the California will sail In three days." "~ ''RightoT^said Smith; "Simpson Is" a good, tough man. Bill, the California will do." "But how'll you corral the admiral, sir?" asked Bill. "You leave that to me," replied his boss. "I've got a very fruitful notion as will fetch him, if he's half the man he was." Mr. "Say-it-and-mean-it" Smith laid for Admiral Sir Richard Dunn. K. C. B., etc., etc., from ten o'clock till halfpast eleven, and he was the only man in the crowd that did not hope the victim would come down with too many friends to be tackled. The admiral came at last; it was about a quarter to twelve, and the whole water-front was remarkably quiet. And the admiral was only accompanied by his flag-lieutenant. The two were promptly sandbagged, the lieutenant left on the street and the admiral carried to the house in the Barbary Coast. When he showed signs of coming to he was promptly dosed, and his clothes were taken off him. As he slept the sleep of the drugged they put on a complete suit of rough serge toggery and he became Tom Deane, able-bodied seaman. By four o'clock in the morning Tom Deane lay fast asleep in a forward bunk of the California's fo'c's'le as she waa being towed through the Golden Gate. And his flag-lieutenant was Inquiring in hospital what had become of the admiral. And nobody could tell him more than he himself knew. Flaring headlines announced the disappearance of a British admiral, and the wires and cables fairly hummed to England and the world generally. (To be continued.) , FnuUtJ.

Monumental B r u M * . At the beginning of the thirteenth century it occurred to Some one to preserve the likeness of his departed friend, as well as the symbols of his rank and station, says the Gentleman's Magasine. So effigies were introduced upon the surface of the slibs, and were carved fiat, but ere fifty years had passed away, the art of the sculptor produced magnificent monumental effigies. Knights and nobles lie clad in armor with their ladies by their sides; bishops and abbots bless the spectators with uplifted right hands; judges He in their official garb; and merchants with the emblem of their trade. At their feet lie animals, usually having some heraldic connection with the deceased, or symbolical of his work; e. g., a dragon is trodden down beneath the feet of a bishop, signifying the defeat of sin as the result of his ministry. The heads of effigies usually rest on cushion! which are sometimes supported by two angels. ^ SHOES V - ^ ° UNION auoc. Notki uureott efmkt OT tatit Mom i tSt>MUa.foa rmlw.

Superintendents and delegates were present from about 20 states. Among the distant states represented were Washington and California. In Texas a good work is going on, but was not reported. Michigan was represented by Eev. A. F. Ferris, superintendent of Grand Rapids district, and State superintendent Dr. Hubbard. The reports that were made from the states as to the work in progress and results being reached were enough to convince the most skeptical that the greatest temperance organization in the, United States is the Anti-Saloon League. It has more men in the, field, is holding more public meet-j ings, is publishing more literature! is working along more practical i lines, is interesting more of the , solid business men in its work, securing more present results, with a better outlook for future accomplishments, than any other organization in the United States if iudeed it is not doing more than all others.

One of the pretty Sunday school teachers has a class of little girls, and it Is her custom to tell them each Sunday of some little Incident that has happened In the week and request ibe children to quote a verse of Scripture to Illustrate the story. In^this way she hopes to Impress the usefulness of Biblical knowledge upon the little ones. Last Sunday she told her class of a cruel boy who would catch cats and cut their tails off. "Now, can any little girl tell me of an appropriate verse?' she asked. There was a pause for a few moments.

T h e president, Dr. Wilson, spoke of t h e anarchy which is "more deadly tnan that which killed our beloved P r e s i d e n t Mckinley:" " T h e fact that the anarchists of Chicago hatched their c o n s p i r a - cy of 1885 in t h e North Side saloons h a s been forgotten. B u t when t h e nation understands that President McKinley's assassin was the son of a former saloonkeeper; that i n a room back of his father's saloon in Cleveland he learned the first lesson in anarchy; that he boarded in a saloon in Buffalo and went therefrom to fire t h e fatal shot, and that tho murderer was toasted a n d praised by t h e anarchists of Paterson and Newark i n the saloons of those cities, the patriotic indignation of t h e people will have been aroused to such a degree against t h e saloon as the meeting place and personification of anarchy as will iiasteu the fulfillment of t h e prediction that within ten years t h e paramount question in America will be t h e abolition of t h e A m e r i c m saloon. I n this work t h e American Anti-Saloon League must play a great part." " T h e saloon breeds anarchy, as we have been shown," said t h e speaker. " W e know what anarchy has done for this country. I n the contemplation of t h e awful crime at Buffalo it seems that anarchy has reached its utmost limits, it has done its worst.

A traveler for a diamond house was talking shop the other evening and, speaking of gems, said: "The most overworked expression used by the unsophisticated and deeply impressed diamond purchaser Is, 'It actually looks as If It glows of Itself/ Now. it is not generally known that sucn is actually the case, although not, 7)T course. In the way~tbe public intends. The beauty of the gem In light Is, of course, In its remarkable refractive power, but under certain conditions the diamond has more, for it may gleam oven in the night with a pale but extremely beautiful light. In short, It becomes phosphorescent. Heated to a certain temperature the internal fire shows Itself, and under pressure the same Is true. "Some years ago I went to Amsterdam to purchase some special stones for a California millionaire who had ordered them through our New York house, and while there I was shown the inside workings of the famous diamond cutting establishments of that city. Of all that I saw, however, the 'self flame' of tbe stones under pressure most surprised me. Tbe manager placed a large rose cut gem between the Jaws of a vise and carefully applied a certain amount of pressure. He then extinguished all tbe light in the shop, and as soon as my eyes had become accustomed to the darkness I saw the diamond emitting a soft radiance of Its own like a very pale glowworm. As I remember it, he said that the yellower diamonds were slightly more phosphorescent than the first water stones. "By the way, you would be really astonished to know the number of jewels which also possess 'self flame' to a more or less extent, ami 1 have often wondered if the alchemists who performed such apparently well authenticated wonders in the middle, ages did not* knovf something of phosphorescence and its oddities."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. _ stooped C C Cr Vera sold in Ms. Bfwsre of tbs dealer who tries to Sftfl W h a t t h e E y e T e l l e . Eyes are very treacherous, and those who meddle in amorous matters should know all ubout them. When the upper lid covers half or more of the pupil, the Indication is of cool deliberation. An eye the upper lid of which passes horizontally across the pupil indicates mental ability. Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from side to side, are frequently indicative of an unsettled mind. It Is said that the prevailing color of eyes among the patients of lunatic asylums are brown and black. Kyes of any color with weak brows and long, concave lashes are Indicative of a weak constitution. Eyes that are wide apart are said to Indicate great Intelligence and a tenacious memory. Eyes of which the whole Iris Is visible belong to erratic persons, even with a'tendency toward insanity. Wide open, staring eyes in weak countenances Indicate jealousy, bigotry, intolerance and pertinacity Without firmness. H i e F a v o r i t e Dteh.

You don't think anybody would pay money for all that skittles. What they pay for in these interviews is the real stuff, and the real stuff ain't you; it's me." "You forget that I also record my own remarks and observations." "You do! I dare say you do a bit too mtJch of that. But you wouldn't get along without me. If I wasn't there, you couldn't do an interview with me. And if you tiid-^ell, I believe the law comes down pretty sharp on that kind of thing. It wouldn't be worth while to risk It. Now, suppose I've got a lot of apple trees and you've got a shop, ought you to take my apples and sell them In your shop and keep all the money yourself? That's how I put It. That's common sense." "Suppose, also, that the apples are of no use to you and that you are quite unable to sell them yourself. I've no objection to the argument from analogy, supposing that the analogy Is complete." "I'm not going to be scared off by your talking like Euclid. You're making so much money that you don't even know how much it Is. You owned up to that, you know, and I'm in a pretty bad way. First I put up a dollar on a raffle for a revolver. Then I put up my watch in the swimming bath, and the man at the shop says"— "Hold on," said the interviewer. "Why did you put your watch In the swimming bath?" "That's pretty simple. I wanted something to dive for, and another chap said he'd put his watch In If I put in mine. His Is going as well as ever, which doesn't seem .fair, since he proposed It. Things don't happen In a fair way as a general rule, and I like fairness when I can get it. That's what led me on to speak about these Interviews. Now, suppose you tell me what you think my share ought to be." "1 don't think." the Interviewer said, "that it's a good thing for a small boy like you to have a lot of money to waste.

I don't. What worries me Is not having any money in my clothes now." After some further discussion an arrangement was made which was regarded as satisfactory by James Robinson and relieved the immediate financial pressure. "And look here," he said.

Few, however, exceed in wonder a valley at Stansfleld in Essex, England. The rector of this parish In giving a careful account of his own experiences states that his house stands on a hill 288 feet above sea level, rising In rear to 300 feet, while in front the ground slopes away to a stream 100 feet below and again rises 180 feet on the opposite side. From the rectory the bells of 14 or 15 villages may be distinguished, while across the valley footsteps and voices in conversational tone may be heard at half a mile. ummmlm ISH um A •>*' 'h A Utter From Cuba.

I think it depends a good deal on how the election comes off this February. If every thing goes off and stays smooth I believe we will go, if not we stay. The U. S. is organizing companies of native artillery here now. They have one company of whites organized and are now organizing one of blacks. The companies are in Cabana Fortress and are under the command of Cap't Aultman of the U. S. army and are under drill instructions of non-commissioned officers of the XT. S. army. They are a fine lot of men and I believe they will make fine soldiers. They are very bright and learn very fast. The Cuban people are as a general rule a bright people and are learning fast, and will in a short time be an up-to-date nation. They are very accomodating. If one keeps on the right side of them and uses them half way decent they will divide the last crumb with him, but if you tross their path and go against them, look out. But they are very enduring and will stand a great deal of cuffing and kicking before they revolt. Most of the native born Cubans are in favor of being annexed to the U. S. the same as Porto Rico, but the naturlized Spanish don't want it but wants a government of their own. This is one reason why I believe there will be another revolution here before many years because the native born will not be ruled by the Spaniards any longer even if they are naturalized citizens of Cuba. The natives have tasted of a better government during the U. S. rule.

V. hadn't dragged.me,into it whether I liked It or not; then I wouldn't be worried as 1 am- this minute, by a specter In the distance of a red headed sister-in-law who is a regular Nobody from Nowhere. I didn't care to make her acquaintance 1A the first place, when you wanted me to take her up. My wretched mistake came about that day I met you and you suggested that I invite her to go with us on our camp* Ing out excursion, because she w a s having a bad time of it at home, with her stepfather^ * G. V. dropped in that evening and took tea with us, and I foolishly mentioned what you had said, and he and Tom were just daffy enough to fall right in with the plan. They said if she never had any good times it would be a nice thing to help her have one for once. I said I didn't see bow we could take a girl like her; we were ail paired off comfortably, two and two, she never had an admirer of her own, as far as I knew; she would just have to tag around after Uncle John and Aunt Alice, who were to chaperone our party. • G. V. said why hadn't she any admirers I - s a l d s h e was so__a_wfully_ plain, and her folks weren't anybody; her stepfather was a cranky old exranchman and hadn't got rich at the business, either, and her very name was a freak—Penelope Dusenberry. Tom said, "Oh, well, ask her anyway, and I'll keep a friendly eye on her now and then." And G. V. said, "Yes, ask her, and I'll relieve Tom occasionally if he finds the job too much for him." , So I couldn't get out of it, and there we are. But she wouldn't have gone half an inch of the way if I had had as much sense as a red a n t I'll tell you why in my next letter. Disgustedly yours, Floretta. Glen Alder, August 6th. Dear Jen:—That Dusenberry girl of yours is repaying my kindness by getting around poor Tom as fast as she knows how—sly red-headed thing; and always so excruciatingly amiable t o me, and so grateful to me for giving "her this little bit of fresh air and streak of sunshine—gush! Tom says she is not so bad looking, now that she is having a good time, blundering old moth he is; she'll have him in a wink. I'm disappointed in everybody —yes, everybody. The country air or something else has turned the whole set into driveling idiots. Here were Tom and Zellle Waters as good aa engaged before they came here, and I asked Zellie Just onpurpose for Tom's benefit, so they would settle it definitely, and now here's Tom blundering into that red-headed minx's web, and as for Zellle, I used to consider her amiable and artless, if she didn't have much of a brain in her silly head, but I believe now, she's a3 deep and wily as an old sea serpent, and has had her eye on G. V. all the time, although she knew I had settled it long ago that he and I were kindred spirits. She's just been fooling Tom and watching for a chance to snap G. V. up, and Tom, like the exasperating old mole he is, is letting her spin her webs while he goes around trying to make that Dusenberry fright have a good time. I wish there weren't any men. Flo.

Tve heard that <4^ii*¾\ ¾ )•*»•*, Weeping alone on a log. duty performed made a rainbow in the soul, and I reckon It does, but the performance of it, or rather the over-performance of it like to have got me into an elegant mess tor a little while. Flo has repented of her good deed forty timet a minute, but then Flo's good deed wasn't performed very cheerfully in the first place. I'm afraid I might have effaced my rainbow at one time, by mauling O. V., if X hadn't reflected that that wasn't the most approved manner of settling a rival in these days, and besides I might get licked, myself. But I didnt even have to call him out, as it happen**, .TIM* original scheme waa t*a* 0., V. and J wejta to take turns Keeping time; and the little girl Isn't bad company, at all, if she is freckled; she can say more original things with lees talk than any,girl 1^ know; so I put in my best licks for her entertainment— me just aa innocent as an amiable oyster, when all of a- sudden* I found Flo going demented with rage, and G. V. and Zellie (my Zettiet) strolling about together and getting entirely too spoony and moony. That's when I wanted to mart George. A n d oh, how my sweet Z. snubbed me, and acted like a bad tempered spitfire of a kitten; fortunately, she overdid the business a little, and it let in a glimmer light to my old brain. She wouldn't have been so spunky to me, just on G. V.'s account. So when I found her weeping all by her lone, on a log in the edge of the camping ground. I sailed into the consolation business like a duck. She said she was crying because a great woolly spider frightened her, and I diplomatically swallowed the spider fiction, and put my arm around her to protect her from any more spiders. And I give you my word, I haven't had a lucid interval Penelope. since. And she had been jealous of Pen. Dusenberry! As for G. V., the shoe may be on the other foot now, and he may a t this minute* be laying for me, ready to do some mauling himself. Poor old boy, I hope he won't be desperatee enough to wind up his earthly career because I've got Zellie back. Of course it's tough on him, but he ought to bear up, and reflect that he can still be a useful citizen and do some little good in the world, if he can't have the onlygirl any fellow could want. Yes, the camping's a humming success. Tom. Glen Alder, August 20th. Dear Old Dick:—Congratulate me, but don't ever ask me what I saw in her to admire, etc.; I don't know where the charm is, and I don't try to fathom it. All I know is that the other girls are to me like faded out dimity beside some quaint, rich, oriental silk compared with this Penelope, the girl with red hair and yellow specks in her gray eyes. Floretta says she doesn't know how to dress. I don't know how that may be; she had on a thin black dres3 today, mull or calico, or swiss—I don't know what stuff it was made of, but it made her hair look like twisted copper with gold in the curves, and her complexion (between the freckles) like the petal of a rose. She has freckles. I always liked best those crisp looking speckled apples that were a little tart but sweet and flavored like the very breath of an orchard in the fullness of blossom time. I was a bit afraid Tom was about to lose his head, just at first, and I found my anxiety was shared by Zellie Waters; poor, dear little girl. She always reminds me of a nice, plump, sweet, insipid little seed cooky. It was clearly my duty under the circumstances, to chase after her for a while, and get old Tom jealous, if he really loved cookies as much as he had professed to me to do. And it brought him after us with a scowl on that round, blooming face of his, that made him look as much like the Wild Man of the Woods as he could, with that cherubic countenance. Well, I was willing enough to play quits, and he's got her now, and I've got Pen, and all the world is a big, sweet flower. Our fair Floretta doesn't seem to take much interest in our affairs- Tom's and mine. If we try to tell her anything about them, she says her feet hurt her, and goes in the house. T used to think she was a mighty nice girl, until she seemed somehow to have gone into a pickling process. I may like a very little bit of tartness, but I want a heap of good, wholesome sweetness akrng with i t Our outing Is drawing towards a close. I must go and take Pen for a walk to Silver Spring, so this is the finis for now. ,_ G. V. Glen Alder, August 29th.

Several weeks ago there was a fall in temperature in the Simplon tunnel, now in process of excavation through the Alps. The part of the tunnel reached was exactly under a mountain lake, and It was wondered if this fact had anything to do with the reduced temperature. The workmen are now in the central portion of the tunnel, about 107000 feet below the mountain peaks, the usual temperature being about 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which, of course, is too hot for comfortable working. By means, however, of water sprays, and the most thorough ventilation t^e heat is considerably reduced. A few days after the fall in temperature had been observed the workmen struck a vein of water that began to flood the south gallery. The work was stopped and a part of the men had to run at a lively rate to escape an uncomfortable wetting. N o serious embarrassment resulted, however, for the flood was overcome in a few days. Such delays have not occurred as often as it was thought might be the case. They occasion no anxiety for the reason that the work, now more than half completed, is considerably ahead of schedule time. A s compared with the earlier tunnels cut through the Alps, the rapid progress in the Simplon tunnel is regarded as extraordinary. It is due to the fact that the machinery in use is much more effective than that employed in the St. Gotthard and Arlberg tunnels. The present enterprise has the benefit, also, of the large progress made in engineering science in the past decade. —New York Sun. nEFORM foMEyrpp&. • * * & • ; KV--..1 '(,•'•'.

While the members of the German Male* Dress Reform club do not favor the ruffles and laces of Louis XIV. they would compromise between that mode of dress and the twentieth century fashion.

The American experts sent to Japan in 1897 spent six months in an Investigation of the oil regions. It was said that they returned to America convinced that the oil was not sufficiently plentiful to warrant being treated with expansive machinery. Reports of a different nature are now coming from Japan. The British Board of Trade Journal prints a report by Mr. Reutiers of the British Consular service, in which he .says that the petroleum industry has reached considerable dimensions. Nearly the entire " supply comes from the Province of Echigo, on the west coast about 200 miles nearly north of Y o - kohama. Pipe lines transport the oil from the wells to refineries at the seaport towns of Nagoaka,, Nilgata, and other places. These refineries, though small, will, it is asserted, bring the oil up to the American standard. It is proposed to construct a pipe line through the mountain valleys about 200 miles to Tokio for the purpose of starting the refining industry there on a large scale. Petroleum is also found in Yezo. the northern island, but though the supply there is said to be abundant nearly all the production, which now amounts to about 19,000,000 gallons a year, comes from Echigo. you for i t he cares HO much for all 'old times' and for anything that concerns Palmyra. •'Th<> wording of your letter shows that living in the west has not blinded your eyes to the truth concerning recent event**.

W e d d e d Life In S u m a t r a . The women of Sumatra have little to complain of. Before the nuptials are celebrated the husband is compelled to settle a marriage portion on his wife, and in case he is legally separated from her he can neither alienate this portion nor touch any of the property she may have brought into the marriage contract. Married people live in separate houses, the husband visiting the wife in the evening. The boys live with their mother until their fourth birthday, when they take up their residence with their father. Girls remait with their mother until they marry, which they do at an early age. When a woman, becomes a widow she plants a flagstaff at her door, from which a flag flies. That flag is of importance to the widow's fate, for so long as it remains untorn by the winds she is compelled by etiquette to remain unmarried. When the first little rent in the flag appears—and it may be the most minute—she is free to accept the first suitor who offers,— Detroit Free Press. Eastern Farm Lands. In the eastern states prices of agricultural land have generally fallen in recent years, in some cases about 50 per cent of the figures asked during the time of high prices. One of the . chief causes for the decline to the value of land in the east appears to be a loss of fertility, in the land itself. due, perhaps, to careless farming. In the central and western atatea there appears to be no such marked decline In farm values aa In the east. In the northwest land seems to have been increasing in value, and in some localities to a very marked degree. Fans laborers aeem to nave profited more in the past few years thaa their employers, or, slmee the fan in the prices of farm producta, even bitter off than some of the farmers who esaploy them.

S*cfc fine cabbage beds, bordered with crisp green lettuce, and all so carefully weeded, raked and swept! Tbey were watered morning and evening before sunrise and after sunset from an old sandstone fountain, green with mosses and water cress, from which escaped by a thousand Uttle holes threads of crystal and tiny singing rivulets. Sarrasln, the gravedigger, held the office of gardener. At first this idea was offensive to my childish mind. Tbe grass seemed to smell of death and the currant bushes to taste of the cemetery. But in a short time I forgot about this, as there was rarely a death in the village. Sarrasln often remarked that his title of gravedigger was more a joke than anything else. At the top of tbe garden, back of tbe old fountain, was a narrow strip of land, rather a lonely sort of place, where M. le Cure used to pass every moment not occupied with the duties of his sacred office. From a distance I could watch him in company with the gravedigger, always moving about in an excited manner and making the most remarkable gestures. They forbade my approach. "M. le Cure does not want you." Sarrasln said. "There are only beehives there." In truth these mysterious hives filled the garden with buzzing bees, darting here and there the livelong day, Intoxicated apparently with pollen from the heart of the hollyhocks. But why was I forbidden to look at the hives? At what strange work were the bees engaged (n the company of a priest and a gravedigger? One afternoon M. le Cure and Sarrasln were called quite a distance away to bury an old woman. Thus left alone, I could not control my curiosity another moment With a beating heart I went straight to the forbidden ground back of tbe fountain. There I found a plot of dry, sandy soil, planted with rosemary, lavender and every variety of herb, all giving a grayish tint and giving forth a delicious odor as they crackled underfoot A thick cloud of bees, shining like gold In the sunlight. Indicated the corner where the hives were located, for Sarrasln had not lied to me—hives there were indeed, but what hives! Picture to yourself an odd array of boxes, propped up one against another and only held In their places by a miracle of equilibrium; long boxes, arched boxes, boxes locking like fabulous monsters with arms and beaks! They were all pierced with holes through which the bees went in and out as tranquilly as though their homes were ordinary hives, but this fact did not reassure me, and. terrified by the unnatural appearance of it all. I fled back to the peaceful vegetable garden. Ten years later a chance walk took me again to tbe village. I found tbe cure broken in health and much older In appearance. The gravedigger wa9 dead. The little garden was almost a wilderness of herbs, but in the distance I heard, as in former days, the hum of bees. This recalled my adventure, and I resolved to make a clean breast of It. On questioning the old cure he began to laush and Insisted upon showing me his hives. There they were In the same lonely little strip of land behind tbe fountain, nlrVhavlng the same odd shapes which had startled my childlsb eyes years before. "It Is an idea of mine." said the cure. "I have worked over it for twenty years. It has cost me quite a sum of money and a great deal of time, but I still hope for success." Can you guess what the old man was working for and what had turned bis hair prematurely white? I will bot ten to one that you must give it up. Fie was determined to make his bees write in tatters of honey. "Vive I'empereur!" It was for this end they had sipped flip dew of morning, darting hither and thither in tbe green valley, gorging themselves with pollen and gathering liquid amber. Ah, If the bees had known! Rut tbe bees did not know. In his office of cure the old priest had always had a certain amount of ambition and In the evolution of what he called his Idea had nourished the most chimerical hopes. The thirteen letters once completed, he Intended to nail them, yellow as tbe sunshine and embroidered in the fine hexagonal cells, on a board, th;» front of which should be carved to represent tbe Arc de Trlomphe.

We speak English, but we have built up our forms of English ezpresslon upon the English of a few shires of the old country as It was spoked between two and three centuries ago, while they have been blending and changing the speech of all their home peoples during the same period. The result is that an American can hardly utter a sentence In England without calling attention to the difference between his speech and that of the people about him. Only yesterday, after 18 months^ residence in England, I rushed up to a conductor in Charing Cross station apd asked, "Which car for Bromley?" He stared at me, and I knew I had spoken a foreign tongue to him, because street vehicles like omnibuses and horse cars are called road cars and tram cars, and there are no other cars in England. If you ask a guest at your home in England whether he likes his meat rare, he asks what you said because be does not understand you. He calls meat underdone when it Is not thoroughly cooked. If you tell blm you fear the asparagus is canned, he is at a loss aga}n, because he would have said it was tinned. To ask him to pass tbe powdered sugar will again set blm to wondering, for be calls it icing sugar generally, though he knows that It is sometimes called caster or sifted sugar. And if you have candy on the table you may not call it so without betraying your foreign origin, for he calls candy "sweets," abbreviated from "sweetmeats," and used to designate all preserves, puddings, pies, candles and jams. To go further along the eccentricities of English at the dining table most persons know, I suppose, that the beet Is called beet root, cornstarch is corn flour, corned beef (or a particular cut* of it) is called "silver sides of beef" and napkins are serviettes,—Julian Ralph In Harper's JSIagaaJpe, Business Pointers.

Comerfordhas noticed with" regret that the village for the past two years has been without a lecture course, Bealizi ng the necessity of some literary entertainment for tbe benefit of the people he has prepared a lecture on the life and labor of St. Paul, which be will deliver at the Pinckney opera bouse, Thursday evening Jan. 23 1902, at 8 o'clock sharp. The lecture is in the nature of an historical review of the life of the apostle of the Gentiies. Tbe idea of the lecture is to present before the people in a more vivid light the details of a man of whom so little is known by tbe commonality. There is no attempt on tbe speakers part to developthe Pauline view of the dogmas of Christianity, but simply to take St- Paul from the number of historical characters whom we know simply as having lived and died and to cause him to stand before us as a living sen tieot being, still teaching tbe same eternal truths taaght two thousand years ago, still ever new, ever breathing tbe same spirit of the Master. A sleighload of Young people from Pinckney and vicinity spent an enjoy* able evening with Wm. Steptoe and family of Webster New Years evening. « Card of Thanks.

The last month of the old year has out of sight, and the first of the new year has arrived. The midnight gate last Wednesday 1, and January entered. The year will, I think, he one of greatest years of all time. It will with blessing and disaster. National and international controversies of momentous import will- be settled. of coronation and dethronement, that will settle Cuban and Porto ttftcan and Philippine and South Af- *k&B. and Chinese destinies.

The front door of a stupendous year 9tas opened. Before many of you there will be twelve months of opportunity Cor making the world better or worse, feappier or more miserable.

Would to God that this «sdgkt Be the year in which the three sereai instruments now chiefly used for Hssonlar purposes might be put to their vansgMtest use in the world's evangel!- satoa—the telegraph, the telephone, the phonograph! Electricity has such psftent tongue, such strong arm, such swift wing, such lightning foot, that It occurs to me that It may be the angel that 8L John saw and heard in apocatyptic vision when he started back cried out, "I saw another angel in the midst of heaven having -*tke everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people." They were tongues of sire that sat on the heads of the disciples at the Pentecost, and why not the world called to God by tongue of , electric fire? Prepare your batteries, sad make ready to put upon the wires the world-wide message of "whomsoever wiH." Furthermore, I notice that January %as been honored with the nativity of of the greatest among the na- Bdmund Burke was born this the marvel and glory of the legal world; Penelon of the religious world; Benjamin Franklin of the phileBopbtc world; William H.

In this month at Hampton court, 1604, a new translation of the Holy Bote was ordered. King James apfteiated a commission of fifty-four men, Afterward reduced to forty-seven. Those men presented the world with a Bsbfe that held mighty sway among the cations for more than 250 years, the revision of the Bible thirty years ago being founded on that revision, which began under King James of 1604. The old translation, made more than two and a half 'centuries ago, sustained the martyrs in the fire, illumined the homesteads of many generations, was the book that was read aloud at the embarkation of the forefathers from Delft Haven, cheered the weary voyagers on the Mayflower, comforted them in the wilds of America, was the book on which the first American concress, as well as the last, took the oath oad with which all the presidents of the United States have solemnized their entrance into office, is the book that has advanced the world's civilization as no other influence ever could, mmA which now lies on the table of -snore homes than any book that was wvec printed since Johann Gutenberg Jwrrowed money of Martin Brother and John Faust to complete the art of •rintlng. What a January in the wttrM'e history—the January that gave 4h* ages a book like that! According to my text, "This month ariaali be unto yon the beginning of sBOnths; It shall be the first month of the year to yon." Through it make ^separation for- the other eleven jsontfcs. What you an* in January SB you will probably be in all the other months of the year. Prepare for them neither by apprehension no* too sanguine anticipation. Apprehension of misfortune will only deplete your body and gloom your soul and unfit ydu for any' trouble that may; , cdme. On the^ other hand, if yob^apect too much, disappointment will be y a m . Cultivate faith in God and the feeling that be will do for you that which is best, and you will be ready for either sunshine or shadow. The other eleven months of the year 1902 will not all be made up of gladness or of grief. The cup that is all made up of sweetness 'is insipid. Start right, and you will be 'apt to keep right Before the ship captain gets out of the New York Narrows he makes up his mind what sea route he will take. While you are in the Narrows of this month make up your mind which way you will sail and unroll your chart and set your compass and have the lifeboats well placed on the davits and be ready for smooth voyage all the way across or the swoop of a Caribbean whirlwind. Behold also in this January month the increasing daylight. Last month the sun went down at 4:30, but in this month the . days are getting longer. The sunrise and the sunset are farther apart. Sunlight instead of artificial light, and there is for our dear old battered earth growing light. "The day-springs from vn &igh- hath visltod us." We uhall have more light for the home, mom light for the church, more light for the nation, more light for tae worlds-light of intelligence, light of comfort, light of rescue, light of evangelisation, light from the face of God, light from the throne. The day enlarges very little, and the reign of sunlight is not much increased, but do not despise the minute of increasing light each day of this January, and do not despise the fact that more light is coming for the church and world, though it come slowly. As we are now In this season gradually going toward the longest day of next summer, so our world is moving forward toward the long day of emancipation and Christly dominion. It may now in the state and the church and the world be January cold, but we are on the way to July harvests and September orchards. Do not read your almanac backward. Do not go out and ask the trees hung_ with__icicles by January storm whether they will ever again blossom in May and leaf in June. We are moving toward the world's redemption. The frozen tears will melt, the river of gladness will resume Its flow, the crocus will come up at the edge of the snowbank, the morning star will open the door for the day, and the armies of the world will "ground arms" all around the world. The January of frost will be abolished, and the balm and radiance of a divine atmosphere will fill the nations. If you do not see it and hear it for yourself, I think at the utmost your grandchildren will see and hear it. The heavens will take part in the conflict between righteousness and sin, and that will settle It, and settle it aright, and settle it forever. In this very month of January, 1643, two months after a great battle had been fought between the army of the king and the army of parliament, shepherds and travelers between 12 and 1 o'clock at night heard the battle repeated in the skies—the sound of drums, the clash of arms, the groans of dying men, and then the withdrawal of the scene into complete silence. These shepherds and travelers repeated in the neighboring towns what they heard, and large numbers of people, expecting that all was a deception, went out on the following night, when they heard the same uproar and tumult in the heavens—the two armies in battle. The king, hearing of this seeming combat in the heavens, sent embassadors to inquire into the mystery. In the night they also heard the contlict and came back to the king and took solemn oath as to this mysterious occurrence. Whether these shepherds and travelers and embassadors of the king were in delu&lon I cannot say, but this I know—that the forces of God and the forces of Satan are now in combat, the heavens as well as the earth in struggle as to who shall win this world for blessedness or woe, and, as the armies of God are mightier than the ymies diabolic, we know who will triumph, and we have a right to shout the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ The King of Kings, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Joshua and Have lock, leads In the conflict. I have no fear about the tremendous issue. My only fear is that we will not be found in the ranks and fully armed to do our part in this campaign of the eternities. Again, I remark that the month of January has seen many of the most stupendous events in the world's history and a rocking of cradles and the digging of graves that have affected nations. In this month American independence was declared, followed by Lexlngtou and Bunker Hill and Monmouth and Valley Forge and Yorktown. January saw the proclamation that abolished American slavery. Though at the time there were tw* mighty opinions and they were exact-, ly onposedrrthoag who. liked the doeuv ment and those who diaBkf^itr-thert is but one opinion now, tndttf It wen put to vote in all the stale* of th4 south, **«hall slavery be r#©stated r< ib&4 would be an overwhelming vote of "No." The pen with whlph.the document was signed and the inkstand that contained the Ink are relies as sacred and valuable as the original Declaration of Independence, «w&a all its erasures and interlineations.' ^The institution which for seventy or eighty years i e p t the nation in angry controversy- has disappeared, and nothing Is left to fight about The north and the south today are in as complete accord as over were flute and cornet In the same orchestra. The north has built its factories on the banks of the Chattahoochee and the Roanoke, and the south has sent many of its ablest attorneys into our northern courthouses, its most skillful physicians; into our sick rooms, Its wisest bankers into our exchanges, its most consecrated ministers into our pulpits—all this the result of the proclamation of Jan. 1, 1863. Rev. Solomon Spaulding was for some time in poor health, and to while away the time he wrote a preposterous religious romance. One Joseph Smith somehow got hold of that book before it was printed and published it as a revelation of heaven, calling it the "Book of Mormon," and from that publication came Mormonism,the monster abomination of the earth. Rev. Solomon Spaulding might have been better I engaged than writing that book of' falsehood*—However much - time we have, we never have time to do wrong. Harness January for usefulness, and it will take the following months in its train. Oh, how much you may do for God between now and the 31st of next December I The beautiful "weeping willow" tree was. Introduced by Alexander Pope into England from a twig which the poet found in a Turkish basket of figs. He planted that twig, and from it came all the weeping willows of England and America; and your smallest planting of good may under God become an Influence continental and international. Now that the train of months has started, let it pass, January followed by February, with longer days, and March, with its fierce winds; and April with its sudden showers; and May, with its blossoming orchards; and JuneT with its carnival of_flowersL andj July, with its harvests; and August, with its sweltering heats; and September, with its drifting leaves; and October, with its frosts; and November, with its Thanksgiving scenes; and December, with its Christian hilarities. March on, O battalion of the months, in the regiments of the years and the brigades of the centuries! March on and join the months and years and centuries already paused until all the rivers of time have emptied into the ocean of eternity, but none of all the host ought to render higher thanks tc God or take larger comfort or mak€ more magnificent resolve than this the flrst month of the new year. But what fleet foot hath the months and years! People lightly talk about how they kill time. Alas, it dies soon enough without killing. And the longer we live the swifter it goes. William C. Bryant said an old friend of his declared that the going of time is like the drumming of the partridge or muffled grouse In the woods, falling slow and distinct at flrst and then follow* Ing each other more and more rapidly till they end at last in a whirring sound. But Dr. Young, speaking ol the value of time, startingly exclaimed, "Ask deathbeds!" wiqwiiiiTjYiwiHiiTi; r* *oloatl*t's alwpto ExplaoaUom of Caeses * aaA affocto of mates. , j -- -• • The pbigve of/p-day is the linaajte-- ecendant of that which. was cWarebT away from London by the great fire";:¾]posBsss a distinct individuality represents one of many , epidemic* which history teaches us devastated Europe **m:iMMM *fcfc itislttsabolished by the disappearance of the dirt which forms their soil and' breeding place. We know the germ, of the plague. It was discovered by Kitasato In 1894, and independently in the same year by Yerslp, whose protective serum is Used as a preventive. The germ is a somewhat shortened and rounded bacillus, that flourishes a,t a temperature approaching that of the blood. Apparently the germ does not multiply by giving off "spores" or seedlike bodies, but by simple division of the parent germs iuto others. It is easily killed. A temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit destroys it quickly, and acids also act efficiently in this direc- ] tion. Yersin found the plague germ living in the soil in affected places. In the earth it appears to be non-virulent, but placed In another environment, say the animal body, it speedily develops into disease-producing powers. Cows, sheep, pigs, cats, and, of course, rats, are affected by it, but the dog is said to enjoy an immunity from the attention? of this bacillus. Gaining access to the body, through the skin for the most part, and probably through some abrasioiL or wound* the bacilli make for the glands, and as these swell an enlarge, constituting what doctors ca)l "buboes," the disease has become known as the "bubonic plague." The fleas which infest the rat are also credited with a share in the diffusion of the ailment, for, charged with the microbes, these parasites will infect other rats, or may possibly inoculate man. Hence the crusade against rats which has been ordered and advised. It may be added that in one form of the plague the lungs are liable to be specially involved, and the coughed-up matter in that case is highly infectious.— London Chronicle. \ attchlttr try/' tiid an old railroad man, "la the* .different inacarnes^l.builtjen exactly same site and ol the s a a r material; Take locomotives, for instance.

Cox, Wis., Jan. 6.—With Kidney disease so bad that he could hardly walk across the room for pain, Frank M. Russell of this place was a man greatly to be pitied. He tired out with tSie slightest exertion and in spite of all the doctors could do for him be was growing gradually worse. He had tried many medicines and treatments without benefit, but recently he read in a newspaper abont Dddd's Kidney Pills, and these helped him from the very flrst dose. He took several boxes before he was completely cured, but now he is well and strong as ever he was, and feels very grateful to Dodd's Kidney Pills for his restoration to good hearth. Lavlah Young VandorblU. Young Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt spends money with a hand almost as lavish as that of the nobJ.es of the Roman decadence. On a recent recordbreaking coaching trip that he made from New York to this city he had his own photographer—a youth in an odd gray hat—along with him, and he and his equipage were photographed besides by newspaper men at every stop that was made along, the line. Immediately after the trip Mr. Vanderbilt requested a firm of advertising solicitors in New York to ascertain the names of all the newspaper men who had photographed him, to obtain from these men prints of all the negatives which they had made, and then to order three dozen mounted pictures from each negative that was good. A photographer of this city who had made three negatives got an order from the firm of solicitors for nine dozen pictures at $6 a dozen. One day's work filled the order, and he earned that day $54. He says there were at least seventy- five pictures made of Mr. Vanderbile on his trip, and at least fifty of these were good. Therefore he estimates that, what with the bill of the advertising solicitors, this great ordering of photographs by the young millionaire has coat him fully $1,000.— Philadelphia Record.

The remarkable discovery of a full grown duck In the stomach of a halibut Is reported by Captain Kilgore ot the United States revenue cutter Rush, now stationed at Sitka. The fish, an unusually large one, was caught by one of the quartermasters of the cutter Nov. 13. In a letter dated Nov. 14,.Capt. Kilgore describes the landing of the fish and the discovery of the bird as follows: "It has been the habit of the crew when the cutter comes into the harbor to set a troll near the vessel for halibut, which are found in these waters weighing from 50 to 76 pounds. When Quartermaster Pedersen, an enthusiastic fisherman, hauled In his line yesterday morning, he was rewarded with a fine halibut weighing 170 pounds. The landing naturally produced quite a commotion on board. But the surprising feature occurred when the halibut was opened in process of distribution to the messes. A blue bill duck as large as a mallard was found tn his stomach in a perfect state of preservation, its flat bill, feet and feathers all in place as in life, The; fish, evidently, not satisfied with his meal, feathers not being very digestible, came along, took the hook baited with salt herring, which resulted in his capture. I have seen thousands ol fish openedVfrom Bmelt to shark, and knew that sea birds caught ash, but this is the flrst instance in my ex* perience when the order was reversed/ and a duck was found in a fish." [ Country Boy Squelches City Uncle. He was a typical small boy, who lived in a well-to-do town in the western part of the state, with pride in his native home, and a vague idea that city people considered, all outsiders as small potatoes, and few in a hill at that. Now, when his mother, brought him to Milwaukee to visit her brother, he held his head proudly and intended to convey the idea that he and his were of some importance. His uncle took him to see the different big buildings, including the Pabst theater, the library, postofflce and the various churches. One Sunday they were seated in St. Pauls*. The mother turned her head to take in the beauty of the pictured windows with their pretty colorings, and secretly wished her lot had fallen in the city, but the boy sat bolt upright as though such surroundings were very common to him. When they reached home his uncle remarked, "Well, Tommy, the church is something grand compared with your buildings in C—." With an impatient toss of his head, Mr. Impertinence announced: "It wouldn't make a woodbox for our Baptist church."—Milwaukee Sentinel.

"If it ts-a ifair question, what were those troublesome'thoughts?" "I don't Imagine I could manage more than one. I never venture into the plural with thought. I was thinking what sharp ^contrasts our reals strike with • our ideals. We are never what we-Imagine we are or would like to toe." "Wiiy, il<don't know," he studied the outliae iof> her rhead with satisfied eyes. "Aran'.t ..you-what you would like to be?" he questioned dreamily. "I? I .was.not thinking of myself."

"But I <dtanU mean »' He emitted encouragingly. "Go on." "I didn't mean that you fell short of my—1 meant that you probably fell lar short of yonr.own ideals." He paoaed a:moment to enjoy her delicious confusion. "What do you fancy my ideal .would.be liked?" he asked. "Oh. bi^ and .strong and sensible and perfumery, you know." "But I do not use perfume." "But you do." She paused to pall /her pluck together, "You do use scented soap that is outlandish. It smells to heaven." The big man's targe composure wilted. ' He started up and looked around tor his hat. "I," he began mlaerably—"I had no idea that it was noticeable?" The girl with the thin voice got between him and the door. "You muin't go," she pleaded with distressed eyes. "You musn't go like this; we've—we've been friends too long." His composure came back in part. "I am only going to rinse my hands at the first fountain.n "Don't go/* she Insisted. "I—I like scented soap." "But I do not," Ike returned briskly. "Good heavens, why didn't you tell me about it sooner. •' Think of the horrible half-hours I have inflicted upon you." "I did not *»d them particularly had," she said Absently as she moved away to bend over the flowering plants. The big man -looked at her longingly and hesitated.

The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means {or its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance,^ is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful condition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.

Then with a plucky resolve not to give over the game, answered: "At any rate, you don't meaa to bo foppish— it you really appear to be." "If I am?"

A letter which contains an account of the trip from Lawrence Kan., to Pawnee O. T. Pawnee, O. T., Dec. 16,1901. On Dec. 8th at 11:06 p. m. I left Lawrence, Kan. for Pawnee City O. T. This was a very pleasant interesting ride as there was so much to see. At daybreak the train was running along the Arkansas river. This was much like the Missouri river only considerable smaller, about one half of the river bed being clean sand. The country south of Winfield (Kan.) is very level, except for a creek without water once in six or eight miles, otherwise it is very level. In places there is a good growth of timber about 12 to 24 inches in diameter and about 25 feet long. This is called first class timber, is known as Blackjack oak. In Michigan it would hardly mak e fire wood. I t is very crooked and about half dead. The timber when you get in Pawnee is much different, although little larger, it is about all oak timber and 1 have been told that Oklahoma contains 17 kinds of oak timber. I have seen a great mauy different ones here. I'll say something about the crops in southern Kansas, and northern Oklahoma. The wheat was the greatest I have ever seen. In some sections it was, easily ten inches high aud as thick as it could stand. I never saw wheat in Michigan to equal it this time of the year. Some fields will be nearly as far as the eye can see and nearly every field had from 25 to 200 head of cattle, horses or hogs on it grazing. This seemed v e r y s t r a n g e t o m e a s T l i a d n e v e r seen wheat pastured before. There was also a great corn crop here. Great fields of corn stalks standing; many were picking corn as I cam through. Some of the finest scenes I have ever witnessed was just north of tho Oklahoma line. There is a strip of country here that is as level as a aouse floor and a wagon road along the railroad was hard as rock and of a reddish color. In the distance is au Indian school called the Chilocco Indian school. The sun was about two hours high and I come along here and I was told the school was about two miles from the railroad and was one of the prettiest sights I ever saw. The reason why is because they are built of sand stone and are very large. Each one containing a great number of windows, then the red rays of the rising sun made it very picturesque. Next of interest was the largest ranch I saw. This was on the west of the railroad and contained 10,000 acres of land without fences. G. W. Miller is manager and owner aud his employees residences make a town of their own. I think 250 mules and horses is a safe estimation I saw along the road pasturing and I counted in one yard 14 McCormick binders. The ranch was quite a sight to me. I had to lay over in Guthrie about two hours and a half. Gu - thrie is a city of 10,000 inhabitant and a business city. It is one of the largest cities in Oklahoma. This was the roughest town I have struck so far. You often hear of rough towns out there, but they are not in it with the towns out here. "There are rough towns" I can say. My next and last trip is from Guthrie to Pawnee a ride of 75 miles and is a very picturesque one. The rocks were the greatest sight to me. Bart o f the way railroad is along the foot of the river bluff and on these bluffs are rocks—sandstone—as general they vary from two to five feet in'thickness and often contain five or six hundred square feet of surface. There are seven curves in the river which come right to the railroad track. There is another kind of rock which is very red, this varies in height f rom 20 to 60 feet and you always see this in cuts where the bluffs have to be cut through. I t is sometimes nearly perpendicular and within three feet of the car on one side and on the other side you can see the river. The rock is never more than two or three hundred feet thick and will be a projection from the bluffs. These are the principal sights. The next is the city of Pawnee which is built on the side of a small mountain—the mountain being covered with sandstone rocks. The square contains the Courthouse and there are places of business on three sides of it, going south from the square you go up the mountain and standing on the first raise looking south you can see nearly all the residences in the southern part of the city. This part of the city never gets very muddy-on account of the rocks in the road. The top of the mountain is about 300 feei. high, level and the water works tower is up there. You can imagine the water pressure in the rest of the city. Pawnee is situated on the Black Bear Creek, has 400 voters 500 school children, about 2,000 inhabitants and is the county seat of Pawnee county. My next letter will be about tne Indian Schools at Lawrence, Kan. ^and^Pa wneeT CHAS. POOLE. A Card.

Jonathan was in love and used to advise me to fail in -love too. "I tell you; old man," he would say when opening a letter of familiar blue, "when you are not feel' ing well and the world grates on you like a camel's hair shirt, there Is nothing so good as an old fashioned love letter." They must have been tender and dympathetlc, but withal a dash of ambition and inspiration in them. No tale of village gossip could have brought that light into Jonathan's' eyes or that flash of color to his cheek. At their conclusion he would dream awhile perhaps and then fall at his books and work like mad. B e showed me her picture one night. She was dark, with a high forehead and shadowy eyes. The mouth and chin were both well formed, but rather masculine. It was a beautiful face, though not pretty. Although Harrod had loved the girl all his life—and she him, if there be aught in the signs of the zodiac—they bad a misunderstanding of some sort or other during the summer that followed his graduation. When he returned east the following autumn, he was quieter than ever before and, if possible, more gentle and sympathetic. He and I had rooms together, where, in lieu of other inexpensive pastimes, we were wont to spend the evenings working and reading. I saw from the first that something ailed" him, and as he no longer received the blue envelopes or counseled me to lose my heart I guessed the reason and asked no questions. He did not become apathetic, Jonathan didn't. His old habit of work was stronger than ever. And now his stories began to appear occasionally in the magazines and the dear public to recognize bis name and to read what went with i t Two years had passed away before1 Jonathan bad mode even the slightest reference to this love atfith* of his, and that was when he came.into my room one cheerless, gray November afternoon the picture of abject melancholy. In his hand was a crumpled piece of paper. -This.he placed.before me on the table; then he went and seated himself before the fireplace, where 1 could not see his face. The paper was a clipping from some inland Journal describing in florid terms the wedding of Miss Winifred Conover to one Amos Scheneck. Only half the article had been clipped evidently, and this had been pasted on a half sheet of note paper. I read the tawdry effusion through; then 1 twisted it to pieces and dropped it into the wastebasket. "Jonathan, my boy," I said, going over and seating myself on the arm of his chair, "who sent you this thing?" "I do not know." And there was a world of sadness in his voice. "The envelope was addressed in a strange hand, and not a word accompanied it." We were both silent for a moment Tho logs were burning cheerily; outside the wind was blowing a gale. Jonathan sat with his face in his hands. "When I came here to you just now," he said. "I was chilled and lonely— the clay is sso somber—and 1 had been tramping all over the country, and— well, I came to say goodby. I wanted to leave this life and wait for Winifred in the next, for"—his voice went straight to my heart—"ah. Billy, I love her so!" "You lie down here on the lounge before the fire." I commanded him, "and stop this brooding." I pushed forward the couch as I spoke, and he dropped on it like an obedient child. He gave me one grateful look and then, under the influence of the genial warmth and the fatigue of many vigils, fell fast asleep. Whether or not I dozed 1 cannot say. but suddenly I was a ware that some other than Jonathan was in the room. I raised my eyes, and there, to my infinite surprise and astonishment. I saw standing opposite me. across the table., a stylishly gowned young woman. I started to my feet with an apology on my lips, but as I glanced at her face my tongue was tied, and I remained silent She was dart* and with a high forehead and shadowy eyes. The mouth and chin were both well formed, but rather masculine, and she was beautiful, though not pretty. "Miss Conover!" I exclaimed. "Yes," she answered, with a voice that was low and vibrant, "it Is I." Then, with the color mantling her cheek, she continued: "I have just arrived in the city. Yesterday 1 learned that an ancient enemy of Jonathan's sent him a paragraph from an account of cousin's wedding, and"—the color Incre'asod, then quickly subsided—"knowing Jonathan so well, I wished, if possible, to Bee him before the clipping reached him. And. you see. I knew you also knew him well." Her lips closed tightly for a second, then curved into a smile. Two great tears started from beneath the drooping lashes, hut were quickly intercepted. T looked toward tbo ptaoo wbor* Jonathan lay. A lereon waa between Urn and th*.visitor, and oniy fala eofi r«»pu*ation betrayed Jtla „ fCMMMt. l turned to Miss Conover. "Jonathan love* you,** I aald. MDo you love him?" Her eyes flashed with a womanly* luster, but again her lipa were firm. "For tf you do," I exclaimed, polling aside tne screen with a single awlft movement "he is here." ••Jonathan!" Then as I left the room I looked back and saw her kneeling at bis tide. —Brooklyn Standard-Union. The Koreans as a people are better developed physically than the Japanese.

Aubrey's Ride Wan t h e Greatest Physical Achievement Ever Aeeom* pliihed In This C o u a t r y ^ F r o n t t e r e - man J i m Moore's) Hard Ride. JTbe greatest physical achievement ever accomplished lu this country was the ride cf F. X. Aubrey from the plaza of Santa Fe, N. M.. to tbe r u b - lie square at Independence, Mo., a dis* tance of nearly 800 miles, through a country 'inhabited by warlike Indians, a large part of which was then a sandy desert. It was about the year 1851 that Aubrey gave his wouderful test of human endurance, before which all other attempts of the kind pale into .insignificance. He was a short heavy set umn, J>8 years of age, in the prime of manhood and strength. His 'business for ten years as a Santa Fe trader had made him perfectly familiar with the trail and all the stopping places. H e was a perfect horseman, and, although there were great riders in those days, none of them cared to dispute the palm with Aubrey. On a wager of $1,000 be undertook to ride alone from Santa Fe to Independence inside of six days. It was Without a thought of fear that he undertook the terrible feat. It was to be the supreme effort of his life, and he sent half a dozen of the swiftest horses ahead, to be stationed at different ' points for use in the ride. He left Santa Fe iu a sweeping gallop, and that was the pace kept up during nearly every hour of the time until be fell fainting from his foam covered horse in the square at Independence. No man could keep up with the rider, and he would have killed every horse in the west rather than have failed in the undertaking. I t took him just 5 days and 19 hours to perform the feat, and it cost the lives of several of his best horses. After being carried into a room in the old hotel at Independence Aubrey lay for 48 hours in a dead stupor before he came to his senses. He would never have recovered from the shock had it not been for his wonderful constitution. The feat was unanimously regarded by western men as the greatest exhibition of strength and endurance ever known on the plains. The ride of Jim Moore, a noted frontiersman of the pioneer days, Is also worthy of mention. Moore was a man of almost perfect physique. In fact, by military standards he was a model. He weighed 100 pounds, stood 5 feet 10 inches, straight as an arrow, with good neck well set on his shoulders, small waist, but good loins, and had the limbs of a thoroughbred. No finer looking man physically ever rode a broncho than Jim Moore. He could run like an . Indian, was as active as a panther, the best natured man in the world, but as courageous as a Hon. In the early sixties Moore was a pony express rider. His route was from Midway station, half way between Fort Kearney and Cottonwood Springs, to Julesburg, a distance of 140 miles. Moore rode the round trip of 280 miles gnce a week. Th:> smfions were from This i s t h e Month To Pay Your Subscription, 10 to l-f mile* apart, and a fre»h horse of Spanish blood was obtained a t each station. There was little delay in these changes of horses, as the rider gave the "coyote yell" half a mile away, and, day or night, the station men had the pony ready, so that the rider had only to dismount from one horse and mount the other, and with a dig of the spurs be was on a run again. This ride of 140 miles usually was made in 12 hours. On each route there were two express riders, one going each way. As easy as it may.seem to some for a man to bestride fresh horse after horse for 140 miles, there were few men able to stand up to it. Upon the occasion of which I am to speak Moore's route partner had been j ailing, and Moore was anticipating and J dreading that he might have to double the route. In this anticipation he realized that there is a time limit to endurj ance, and therefore he gave the bron- 1 chos a little more of the steel than 'usual and made the trip to Julesburg ! in 11 hours. Arriving at Julesburg, he i had his fears confirmed. His partner ' was in bed. He had hoped that be j might hiive a few hours for rest, but ! before he had time to dismount and j stretch his cramped and tired muscles ' the "coyote yell" of the east going rldj er was heard. j He drank some cold coffee, filled his ; pocket with cold meat and was In the ' saddle again for another 140 mile ride. j In order to be able to,live the route out he sent them for all there was in them, with the result that he arrived a t Midway, after having ridden 280 miles, in 22 hours from the time he had left there. Ben Holliday gave him a gold watch and a certificate of his remarkable performance. Many of the old frontiersmen now living knew Moore, knew of his 280 mile ride in 22 hours and have seen the watch and certifieate.— Spirit of the Times. THE WARDEN'S KIDS By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis.] Convict Renfew arrived at the state prison in company with a* bad record. When arrested for robbery, he had stabbed an officer; while waiting trial he had broken jail; when sentenced he had tried to assault the judge; us the irons were fastened on his wrists and ankles preliminary to his journey he had sworn to kill any official of the prison who attempted to "rush" him. In addition to his record, which would count against him on the prison books. he had the look and bearing of an obstinate, dangerous man. If any proofs were needed that be meant to make trouble, he furnished them himself as be stood in the warden's office during the recording Of his pedigree. After sulkily answering a few questions he burst out with: "Look bore, now, but they got the wrong man. I am not guilty, and 1 don't propose to creep and crawl to no one. If you start in to be rough with me, you'll find me a bad man." "And let me say to you," replied the warden, "that if you give me any trouble I'll have the hide flogged off your back!" Renfew had been sentenced for fifteen years. With never a day of "good time" to his credit—with only black marks showing against his name—with a punishment more or less severe two or three times per week, he earned the reputation Qf being the bad man of the prison. In the course of a year, as shown by the prison records, he had K K c * K K . K K * K K £ i * K BLOOD DISEASE CURED.

H e bad passed fully half the time to tfie dark cells, and n i l outbreaks and wfeipplngf ran up to thirty or more. I t w a s after looking over tbls record that the ward' en went to t h e convict's cell and said: "Renfew. I am tired of the way things are going. I am here to run tbls prison according to rules, and you have either got to come to time or I'll make a jabbering Idiot of you. You give me more trouble than all the other men put together." "Listen to me," calmly replied the ronvlct. "I was.not guilty of the robbery, i my arrest and conviction werp a blunder. I told you so the day I entered here, but you sneered a t me. 1 bate you, and you bate me. I l l do all I can to keep you in hot water. And as for your threats and punishments, I defy you." A week later Renfew beaded a mutiny that was quickly suppressed, and then It was whispered about the prison that he was dead—yielding up his life under punishment. This was not true, however, though he was close to death's door when tbe warden's hand was stayed. He was sent to the hospital with a spark of life left, and It was three long months before he could limp about. His ugliness and obstinacy came back as be grew better, but the doctor shielded him and carried him along until one day there was such a flagrant breach of discipline that it had to be officially reported. That meant a new punishment on top of the half healed scars, but when the guards came to take him from the room _Ren-_ few was not.to be found. He had in some manner passed out of the prison with a crowd of visitors. There was a hue and cry at once, and the warden was among those who took up the chase. The convict had only half an hour's start, but luck was with him. They beat up the town and its suburbs in vain. Fifty men covered the roads and traversed the fields, but the fugitive seemed to have taken wings. A fortnight before the escape the f> warden had sent his two motherless children to pass a few weeks in the country with an aunt. On the morning of the second day of the search he drove out on this road and at high noon was within a mile of his little ones. His horse had fallen lame, and he was proceeding slowly and missing no opportunity to make inquiries when a great dog overtook and passed him with a growl. The animal was flinging Tts head about and foaming at the mouth, and there was no doubt of it being a case of hydrophobia m f c r i i * i i 1.8.¾ 1 tattrtstlng Items.

X k,yv (Morley Roberts, In The Strand:) ,*:*. k (Continue* fronrlast week,). •I When the admiral woke, which he did after &•%?& no.urXjhaltfB*, adminlatered in turns by three of the California's crew, who were anxious to know wbereVhe-. had stowed his bottle of ruflju he was, stiU confused by the "dope" given him ashore. And then he rose^and rested on his elbow. "Where**m if1-' " '"' "' "On board the California, to be sure.** "I'm dreaming," 3ald the admiral, "that's wh>t it is. To be sure, I'm dreaming." The admiral sat up suddenly, and by so doing brought his head into violent contact with the deck above him. This woke him thoroughly just in time to receive Mr. Simpson, mate of the California, whq came in like a cyclone to inquire after his health. "Did you ship as a dead man?" asked Mr. Simpson, "for if you did I'll undeceive you." And with that he yanked the admiral from his bunk and dragged him by the collar but upon the deck at a run. He roee at the end of his undignified progress and stared at the mate. "Who—who are your' he said. Mr. Simpson gasped. "Who am I—oh, who am I. Well, I'll oblige you by statin' once for all that I'm mate of this ship, and you're my dog. Now, you lunatic, take this here ball of twine and go overhaul the gear on the main. And if you open your mouth to say another word I'll murder you." And though he could not believe he was doing it, Sir Richard Dunn crawled aloft and did what he was told. He was stunned. "I—I must be mad," thought the admiral. "Now, then, look alive there, you dead crawling cat," said Mr. Simpson, "or I'll come up and boot you off the ya»w Do you hear me?" "Yes, sir," said the admiral, meekly, and he murmured, "I suppose I never was an admiral after all; I dcn't seem to know what I am." And the hardest nut among the admirals of the active list wiped a tear with the sleeve of his coat and came down as he was bid. When the crew were at breakfast next morning trouble began. "Say, are you an admiral?" asked Knight, the biggest tough on board except Simpson and Wiggins. "Mind your own business," he said. And Knight hove a full pannikin of tea at him. This compliment was received very quietly, and the admiral rope and went on deck. "Takes water at once," said Knight; "he ain't got the pluck of a mouse." But the admiral went aft and interviewed Mr. Simpson. "I wish to have your permission to knock the head off a man called Knight, for'ard. He hove a pannikin of tea over me just now, and I think a thrashing would do him good and conduce to the peace and order of the fo'c's'le." "Oh, you think so?" said Simpson. "Very well, you have my permission to introduce peace there." "I thank you, sir," said the Admiral. He touched his hat and went forward. He put his head inside the fo'o's'le and addressed Knight: "Come outside, you bully, and let me knock your head off. Mr. Simpson has been kind enough to overlook the breach of discipline involved." And Knight, nothing loth, came out on deck, while Simpson and Wiggins stood a little way off to enjoy the battle. And in five minutes his mates carried Knight into the fo'c's'le, "I don't know when I enjoyed myself more," said Simpson, with a sigh. After that the Admiral had peace and learnt something every day, and not least from Knight, who proved by no means a bad sort of man when he had once met his match. The Admiral and Simpson never had a cross word till they were south of the Horn. Then by chance the mate and the captain had a few words which ended in Simpson getting much the worst of it. As luck would have it the Admiral was the handiest to vent his spite on* and Simpson caught him a smack on the side of his head that made him see Btars. And when the Admiral picked himself off the deck Simpson made a rush for him. The Admiral dodged him and shot up the poop-ladder. At any other time Blaker, the captain, would have gone for the seaman who dared to escape a thrashing for the moment by desecrating the poop, but now he was willing to annoy Simpson. "Well, what do you want?" ho roared. "Well, sir, I wanted to know whether Western Ocean custom goes here. I've been told that if I thrash jjour mate I shall have his job. They say forward that that's your rule, and if so, sir, I should like your permission to »«***#*»*"«* Send'Mr. Simpson forward and take hta place.". Capt. Blaker laughed. He went to the break of the poop and addressed the mate. "Do you hear, Mr. Simpson?" he inquired, genially. "Send him down, sir," said Simpson. "Are you sure you can pound him?" Simpson gritted his teeth and foamed at the mouth. "Kick him off the poop, sir." "Are you willing to stake everything on your fightin* abilities, Mr. Simpson?" And when Simpson said "Aye" through his teeth, the Admiral jumped down on the main deck. Now, according to all precedents, the fight should have been long and arduous, with varying fortunes. But the admiral never regarded precedents, and insfde of ten seconds Mr. Simpson was lying totally Insensible under the spare topmast - To encounter the admiral's right fist was to escape death by a hair's breadth, and it took Charles Simpson, able seaman (vice Mr. Simpson, chief officer), two hours and a Quarter to come to. M A«M^::tt^^e::coiild: fight," said the disgusted skipper; "come right up, Mr. What's-your-name, you're the man for me. There ain't no reason for you to trouble about my second mate, for Simpson could lay him out easy. All I ask of you is to work the whole crowd up good. And I don't care if you are an admiral, you are the right Bort all the same. I guesB that Simpson must have reckoned he struck a cyclone." And Blaker rubbed his hands. Like Simpson at the fight between the admiral and Knight, he did not know when he had enjoyed himself more. He improved the occasion by going below and getting far too much to drink, as was his custom, and the promoted admiral took charge of the deck. "Ability tells everywhere," said Sir Richard Dunn. "I didn't rise in the service for nothing. Ship me where you like, and I'll come to the top. If I didn't take this hooker Into New York as captain and master I'll die in the attempt." He had quite come to himself, and was beginning to enjoy himself. His natural and acquired authority blossomed wonderfully when he took on the new job, and, as Blaker never swore, the admiral's ?ift of language was a great vicarious satisfaction to him. Wiggins accepted the situation without a murmur. Even Simpson himself bore no malice when his supplanter not only showed none, but after knocking the bo'sun's head against a bollard gave his place to the former mate. Though he kept the men working, and got the last ounce out of them, none of them were down on him. "I tell you he's an admiral, sure," they said. "He's got all the ways of one. I own," said Bill, an old man-o'-war's man. "I spoke to an admiral myself, once; or, rather, he spoke to me." "What did he say?" asked the rest of his watch. "He said," replied Bill, proudly, "he upped and said, 'You cross-eyed son of a dog, if you don't jump, I'll bash the ugly head of you!' And you bet I jumped. Oh, he's all the ways of some admirals, he has!" "Well, admiral or none," said the rest • of the crowd, "things goes on pleasanter than they done when you was mate, Simpson." And Simpson grunted. "And he gets more work out of us than you done, either, Simpson, for all yer hammerin' of us." "I'll likely be hammerin' some of you again shortly," said Simpson. And as he was cock of the walk In the fo'c's'le, whatever he was in the ship, the others dried up. Nothing of great interest happened till they were well east of the Horn and hauled up for the northward run. And then Blaker took to religion (or what he called religion) and rum in equally undiluted doses. "I'm a miserable sinner, I am," he said to the Admiral; "but, all the same, I'll do my duty to the crowd." He called them aft and preached to them for two hours. And when one man,, yawned he laid him out with a well-directed belaylng-pin. The next day, when it breezed up heavily and they were shortening sail, he called all hands down from aloft, on the ground that their souls were of more importance than the work in hand. "Come down on deck, you miserable sinners," said Blaker, through a speaking- trumpet. His voice rose triumphantly above the roar of the gale, "Come down on deck and listen to me. For though I'm a miserable sinner, too, there's some hopes for me, and for you there's none unless you menda your ways in accordance with what I'm tellin* you." Even with tne speaking trumpet he could hardly make himself heard over roar of the increasing gale a»5"t£t thunderous slatting of the t»«ree topf sails in the spiUing-lines. Dorit you think, sir, that they'd better make the topsails fast before you, speak to them?" said the Admiral I 'No, I don't," replisd Blaker, "not much, I don't not by a jugful. For if one of 'em went overboard I'd be responsible before the Throne. And dont you forget i t " "He's mad," said Sir Richard, "mad as a March hare. Shell be shaking the | sticks out of her soon." He leant ever the break of the poop and called up Wiggins. "Mr. Wiggins, one word with you." Wiggins came up, as Blaker roared his text through the trumpet. "Will you stand by me, Mr. Wiggins, if I knock him down and take command?" "I will, but mind his gun," said Wiggins. "When he's very bad he'll shoot" It was not any fear of Blaker's sixshooter that made the Admiral hesitate. To take the command even from a madman at sea is a ticklish task, and may land a man in gaol for all his being a Shanghaied admiral. "I tell you, Mr. Wiggins, that Simpson is a good man. I'll bring him aft again." And Wiggins made no objection when Simpson was called up by the Admiral. "Mr. Simpson," said the mate, "this is getting past a joke. Have you any objection to taking on your old job if I secure this preaching madman and take command?" Simpson was "full up" of Jie fo'c's'le, and as he had a very wholesome admiration for the admiral he was by no means loth to return to his old quarters. "I'm with you, sir. In another quarter of an hour we shall have the sticks out of her." And still Blaker bellowed Scripture down the wind. He was still bellowing, though what he believed was not Scripture, when Simpson and Wiggins took him down below after five minutes of a row, in which the deposed captain showed something of his ancient form as the terror of the Western Ocean. As they went the admiral, how promoted to being captain of a Cape Horner, picked up the battered speaking trumpet and wiped some blood from his face which had been in collision. "Up aloft with you,, and make those topsails fast," he roared. "Look alive, men, look alive!" And they did look alive. For 'Dickey Dunn" never needed a speakingtrumpet in any wind that ever blew. When things were snugged down and the California was walking north at an easy but tremendous gait he felt like a man again. He turned to Simpson and Wiggins with a happy smile. "Now we're comfortable, and things are as they should be, Mr. Simpson, let the men have a tot of grog. And how's Mr. Blaker?" "Waal," said Simpson, cheerfully, "when we left him he wasn't exactly what you would call religious nor resigned." But if Blaker was not happy the Admiral was thoroughly delighted. "Now you see what I said was true," he declared at dinner that night. "If I hadn't been an admiral and a man born to rise, how could I have been shipped on board this ship as a foremast hand and come to be captain in six weeks? I'll be bound you never heard of a similar case, Mr. Simpson." And Simpson never had. "Was it Shanghai Smith; do you think, as put you here?" he asked. The admiral had never heard of Shanghai Smith. "When I get back I'll find out," he said. "And if it was I'll not trouble the law, Mr. Simpson. I never allow any man to handle me without getting more than even." "You don't," said Simpson. If his manner was dry it was sincere. "But I don't bear malice afterwards. Your health, Mr. Simpson. This kind of trade breeds good seamen after all. But you are all a trifle rough." Simpson explained that they had to be. "When the owner's scheme Is to have one man do three men's work, they have to get men who will make 'em do it. And when the owners get a bad name, and their ships a worse, then men like Shanghai Smith have to find us crews. If you could get back to San Francisco and hammer an owner some of us would be obliged to you, sir.' "Ah! when I get back," said the Admiral. "This will be a remarkable yarn for me to tell, Mr. Simpson. I still feel VOX BASKS'YAK* CHARGE. ^M*i!Bi5 S ar& Tfcv J^#Wt-M«^-Yr»4taM#' Pro*- .••>.' erttm. The aggregate interests of the EverettTMoore syndicate were thrown upon the Cleveland bankers Thursday. 'Financial embarrassment forced the syndicate to surrender, and a committee of bankers, pending consent of all creditors, assumed .control of the vast properties/ Including the Detroit United Railway and the People's Telephone Co. . The dliileulty way be temporary, but Cleveland financial circles are in a swirl of excitement. Failure to float $35,001),000 bonds in the New York market is ascribed as the cause of the embarrassment by local bankers. Perfect confidence is felt In the security of the guaranteed bonds of, the Detroit United Railway, in which Detroit men have invested, and the local holders of People's Telephone etock are not alarmed over possible complications.

Doe* Germany Seek Troublet Nine out of ten naval officers on duty in Washington believe that, if Germany ever raises her flag in Venezuela the emperor will never leave until his soldiers and Bailors are driven out. On account of rijjld instructions against interviews, it is impossible to got any expressions, but. this represents the sentiment. There is more than a little j suppressed excitement in army and navy circles on account of the prospect of Germany landing sailors to collect the money "due the emperor. There, is a conviction nmonjr many in the navy that Germany has a chip on her shoulder and is waiting for the I'nSW States to knock it off. This impression undoubtedly is gained from the intercourse of American-officers with the Germans and with the naval officers of other nations who meet the.Germans on sea and land. j"- '.in" i r • I i naiiijmniisa Agnes Marcy, of Washiiiftcm, B . C„ «rf*«b have, been the s*eetfc**A j*f James Seymour Ayr©*, of Port Auatfc, Mich., for whose sensational shooting Mr*. Lola Bonine vrtm acquitted * few weeks ago, on the plea of self-defens#, tried to commit suicide Tuesday by throwing herself on the tsack in frost of aa electric car. Miss Marcy is 34 years old, and Is housekeeper for her father. Succeeding the sensational shooting the young woman had frequent spells of depression, which her friends think affected her reason. She and Ayres used to attend dances together, and *he had an engagement with her the night last May when he had an encounter with Mrs. Bonine that resulted in his death. The young woman is not dangerously hurt. She declares that she will try again to kill herself. A MIsslngr MAB, Frederick Hannaman, 80 years of age, a farmer In Lakefleld township, near Merrill, has been missing from his home three months, and John Hannaman, the old man's son, with John Johnson, a junk peddler who has associated with him, is at the connty jail in Saginaw, the former for kidnaping his fatner and the latter as an accomplice. On Sept. 2 the father and son came.to Saginaw, it Is said, and secured ft loan of $700 on the old man's farm. On Sept. 7 the old man cashed the $700 check at Merrill. He was not seen after the 15th. The son told very conflicting stories of his father's absence. It is said that Hannaman's wife showed more anxiety to g*t Johnson out of the difficulty than she did to save her husband. "Knocking" the Naval Re»erre. The naval ring has been knocking the Michigan Naval Reserves who served on the Yosemite in the Spanish war, and who feel they are entitled to share in the distribution of service medals, and the ring's motive is now declared to be quite apparent. The regular naval force, like the regular army force. has something akin to contempt for volunteer forces. The naval ring, which comprises regulars only, doea not want even a little bit of the glory the navy achieved in the war to go to the naval reserves. The ring. It is asserted, will continue to exert its inriuence to prevent Michigan men from jrertmg medals. As a part of their tactics they are insinuating that the Yosenilte's crew didn't do anything to entitle thein to medals. The Alaxkan Boundary. It is admitted that the Alaskan iKMtulary question is the most difficult problem that faces Hay and Pauneo- 1'ote. Canada is believed to be less disposed to compromise than the imperial authorities would be if 'not pressed by colonial opinion, .but hope is expressed that the present moment, when England's relations with America are on a favorable looting, will not bo allowed to pass without a general settling up.

It started in the bazar of Mills & Pitch, and soon spread to the stores of Milner Bros., furniture and undertakers, and the agricultural store of Reason & Ives. All the buildings were destroyed. Mrs. West tall occupied rooms and had a millinery store in one of the stores destroyed, and the KOTM and LOTM lost everything in the hall. Mr. Mills and wife lived in the rear of the store, and they were awakened by their dog jumping on to their bed and barking. Mr. Mills arose and they had just time to make their escape.

" FreaolMd from th« tVord* off K*t«r: ''Be CoorUoui"—The Valte of PmlM-Givlnf — ThoaghtfoluMt for 4Mhors a Spirit to Bo Coltlvatod. IflOopyrtgnt, 1902, by Louts Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, Jan. 12.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage urges thoughtful- • e s s for others and shows how such * benignant spirit may be fostered; -text, I Peter 11, 8, "Be courteous." In an age when bluntness has been -canonized as a virtue it may be usetul to extol one of the most beautiful at all the royal family of graces— -courtesy, it is graclousness, deference t o the wishes of others, good manners, affability, willingness to deny ourselves somewhat for the advantage of others, urbanity. Mark you, it cannot be put on or dramatized successfully for a long while. We may tie full of bows and genuflections, and smiles and complimentary phrase, and have nothing of genuine courtesy cither in our makeup or In bur demeanor. A backwoodsman who never -saw a drawing room or a dancing master or a caterer or a fold of drapery may with his big soul and hard hand and awkward salutation exercise the _„JE?*9J wMi ( 3Lon e D O r n under richest opholstery and "educated" In foreign schools, and bothered to know which of ten garments he will take from a voyal wardrobe, may be as barren of ~"*he spirit of~courtesy as-4he great 6asfaara desert is of green meadows and tossing fountains. Now, you know as well as I do that some of the most undesirable people have been seeming incarnations of courtesy. In our early American history there arose a man of wonderful talent, an impersonation of all that can charm drawing rooms and cultivated circles. He became vice presirdaot of the United States and within vomc vote of being president. Men * threw away their fortunes to help him in his political aspirations and to forward him in a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States, he trying to do jn America what Napoleon at that very time was trying to do in Europe—establish a Jthrone for himself. But he was immoral and corrupt. He was the ser- * pent that wound its way into many a domestic paradise. He shot to death one of the greatest of Americans— Alexander Hamilton. The world found • out long before he left it that the offender I speak of was an embodiment -of dissoluteness and base ambition. He mas the best illustration that I know of of the fact that a man may have the appearance of courtesy while within he is all wrong. Absalom, a Bible character, was a specimen of a man of polish outside and of rottenness inside. He captured all who came near him. But, oh, what a heart he had, full of treachery .and unfilial spirit and baseness! He -was as bad as he was alluring and charming. I like what John Wesley said to a : man when their carriages met on the road. The ruffian, knowing Mr. Wes- - ley and disliking him, did not turn out, bat kept the middle of the road. Mr. Wesley cheerfully gave the man all the road, himself riding into the ditch. Aa they passed each other the ruffian said, "I never turn out for fools," and Mr. Wesley said, "I always do." I like the reproof which a Chinaman in ."San Francisco gave an American. The American pushed him off the sidewalk until he fell into the mud. The -•Chinaman on rising began to brush off t h e mud and said to the American: *You Christian; me heathen. Goodby." A stranger entered a church in one of the cities and was allowed to «tand a long while, although there was plenty of room. No one offered a scat. The stranger after awhile said to one of the brethren, "What church i s this?" The answer was, "Christ's church, sir." "Is he in?" said the etranger. The. officer of the church txaderstood what was meant and gave •Mm a seat. We want more courtesy In the churches, more courtesy in places of business, more courtesy in ocr homes. Let us all cultivate this grace of • Christian courtesy by indulging in the habit of praise instead of the habit of blame. There are evils in the world that we must denounce, and there are men and women who ought to be chastised, but never let us allow the -opportunity of applauding good deeds pass unimproved. The old theory was ' that you must never praise people lest - we make them vain. No danger of t h a t Before any of us get through -with life we will have enough mean and ignoble and depreciating and lyi n g things said about ui to keep us humble. God approvingly recognizes a system of rewards as well as of puntshments. ^When you hear a good sermon, stop after the benediction and tell the pastor, though you never saw him before that day, "Tour sermon 4W me good." | W h e n . m mechanic does a good piece / o f work teU him it is well dons. When .*jrty»i«Un bring* #«u out 4£ a perllous illneea, stop XM m In the street and say, "Doctor, yon saved my life." When you hear of a business man in some heavy .stress of financial weather helping frailer craft into the harbor, go Into his counting room and say, "1 hear you have been helping your fellow business man to outride the tempest of a panic, and I came in to thank you for the good advice you gave and to let you know that all good citizens appreciate what you have been doing." Go down the street tomorrow and thank somebody. There are hundreds of people who never get thanked at all. Plenty of severe criticism, plenty of faultfinding, plenty of misinterpretation, plenty of depreciation, but as to gratitude—that is a market in which the supply does not equal the demand. In the cultivation of this habit of Christian courtesy lot us abstain from joining in the work of defamation. It is a bad streak in human nature that there are so many people who prefer to believe evil instead of good concerning any one under discussion. The more faults a man has of his own the more wiling is he to ascribe faults to others. What a curse of cynics and pessimists afflicts our time, afflicts all time! There are those who praise no one until he is dead. Now that he is clear under ground and a heavy stone is on top of him there is no possibility of his ever coming up again as a rival. Some of the epitaphs on tombstones are so ""fulsome that ou resurrectkmr day a man rising may, if he reads the epitaph, for the moment think he got into the wrong grave. There are two sides to every man's: character—a good side and an evil side. The good see only the good and the evil only the evil, and the probability is that a medium opinion is the right opinion. Most of the people whom I know are doing about as well as they can under the circumstances. The work of reform is the most important work, but many of the reformers, dwelling on one evil, see nothing but evil, and they get so used to anathema they forget the usefulness once in awhile of a benediction. They get so accustomed to excoriating public men that they do not realize that never since John Hancock in boldest chlrography signed the Declaration of Independence, never since Columbus picked up the floating land flowers that showed him he was coming near some hew country, have there been so many noble and splendid and Christian men in high places in this country as" now. You could go into the president's cabinet or the United States senate or the house of representatives in this city and find plenty of men capable of holding an old fashioned Methodist prayer meeting, plenty of senators and representatives and cabinet officers to start the tune and kneel with the penitents at the altar. In all these places there are men who could, without looking at the book, recite the sublime words, as did Gladstone during vacation at Hawarden, "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ," and from the senate and house of representatives and the presidential cabinet and from the surrounding offices and committee rooms, if they could hear, would come many voices responding "Amen and amen!" Christian courtesy I especially commend to those who have subordinates. Almost every person has some one under him. How do you treat that clerk, that servant, that assistant, that employe? Do you accost him In brusque terms and roughly command him to do that which you might kindly ask him to do? The last words that the Duke of Wellington uttered were, "If you please." That conqueror in what was in some respects the greatest battle ever fought, in his last hours, asked by his servant If he would take some tea, replied, "If you please," his last words an expression of courtesy. Beautiful characteristic in any class. There is no excuse for boorishness in any circle^ As complete a gentleman as ever lived was the man who was unhorsed on the road to Damascus and beheaded on the road to Ostia—Paul, the apostle. I know that he might be so characterized by the way he apoligized to Ananias, the high priest. I know it from the way he complimented Felix as a judge and from the way he greets the king, "I thank myself, King Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews, especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews." And then see those words of advice which he gives: "Bear ye one another's burdens;" "In honor preferring one another;" "honor all men." What a mighty means of usefulness is courtesy! The lack of it brings to many a dead failure, while before those who possess it In large quantity all the doors of opportunity are open. You can tell that urbanity does not come from study of books of etiquette, although such books have their use, but from & mind full of thoughtfulnesa for others and a heart in sympathy with the conditions of others.

More thoughtfulness for others—let us all cultivate i t Many years ago two men entered the largest locomotive workshops in Philadelphia, They were treated in a very indifferent way and were allowed to depart without any show of courtesy. They went into other shops, and no especial attention was given them. After awhile the two men entered a smaller shop, and the overseer took great pains in showing them everything and how they wrought and on what plan the shops were run. The two visitors were agents of the Czar of Russia, and those shops were transferred to S t Petersburg, and that polite man that bestowed such attention was called to build the locomotives for all the railroads of Russia and had tortune after fortune roH in upon him. Courtesy is a mighty force in temporal things-as w e l l a s in spiritual things. Let us start each year, each month, each day, with the question, What can I do to make others happy? On our way to office^ or store or shop or rail train let us be alert for heaven descended opportunities. The time must come when the world will acknowledge international courtesy. Now courtesy between nations is chiefly made of rhetorical greeting, but as soon as there is a difference of interest their ministers plenipotentiary are called home, and the guns of the forts are put in position, and the army and navy get ready. Why not a courtesy between nations that will defer to each other and surrender a little rather than have prolonged acrimony, ending In great slaughter? Room for all nations of the earth and all styles of government What the world wants is less armament and more courtesy, less of the spirit of destruction and more of the spirit of amity.

Lent was a delegate §ent from the farmers of Allegan County* port on the prospects lor successful settlement His report Is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country in that vicinity a rich, black .loam, varying from 12 Inches to «8 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing five feet in helghj. Z have been a farmer for forty years* and consider myself a fair judge of tho yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone, but a good many.* As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes;the nights being too cool for theBe to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some fine locations, namely, Wetasklwin, Lacombe and other points. From McLeod I went to Reglna, thence t& Prince Albert,-241 jalies north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon, Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americana from Minnesota buying land for themselves— one party buying 12 sections, and the other 20 sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. I have traveled over twenty-three different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as fine a stock country* .

There is nothing worthy in the thought that the earth will get too crowded with population if vast multitudes are not destroyed by war. When our old world is full of inhabitants, it will have fulfilled Its mission, and it will be put aside like an old ship turned into a navy yard and dismantled and the world's inhabitants transferred to some other constellation. The angels in the song celebrated this coming international courtesy when in the Bethlehem starlight they chanted, "Good will to men." If others lack courtesy, that is no reason why you should lack it. Respond to rudeness by utmost affability. Because some one else is a boor is no reason why you should be a boor. So I applaud Christian courtesy. I would put it upon the throne of every heart in all the world. The beauty of it is that you may extend it to others and have just as much of it—yea, more of it—left in your own heart and life. It is like the miracle of the loaves and fishes, which, by being divided, were multiplied until twelve baskets were filled with the remnants. It is like a torch, with which fifty lamps may be lighted and yet the torch remain-as bright as before it lighted the first lamp. But this grace will not come to its coronal until it reaches the heavenly sphere. What a world that must be where selfishness and jealousy and pride and ascerbites of temper have never entered and never will enter! No struggle for precedence. No rivalry between cherubim and seraphim. No ambition as to who shall have tho front seats in the temple of God and the Lamb. No controversy about the place the guest may take at the banquet. No rivalry of robe or coronet No racing of chariots. No throne looking askance upon other thrones, but all the inhabitants perfectly happy and rejoicing in the perfect happiness of others. It I never get to any other delightful place, I want to get to that place. What a realm to live in forever! All worshiping the same God, all saved by the same Christ, all experiencing the same emotions, all ascending the same heights of love and exultation, all celebrating the victories. Courtesy there easy, because there will be no faults to overlook, no apologies to make, no mistakes to correct, no disagreeableness to overcome, no wrongs to right. In all the ages to come not a detraction or a subterfuge. A perfect soul in a perfect heaven. In that realm, world without end, It will never be necessary to repeat the words of my text, words that now need oft repetition, "Be courteous." zatlon of a, permanent census bureau to include also a provision to place the present employes under the civil service.

This it a bit of plain history, and the reader whose mental appetite i whatever that may be In the human craves adventures flavored with the essence of heroism and self-sacrifice will save himself disappointment by pass- harps in motion. And she sniffed in ing it by. U is, it may be said, the plainest of plain history. John Delwin, the hero, Is a man who sellb groceries. Formerly he was an ordinary boy of liumerow freckles, then a delivery clerk in the village - +UX& of which he was later part owner. His life, so far as his acquaintances can judge, has been a psalm from the beginning. When he married Emma Mlnkler he wore the customary black, and the bride was attired In the customary white, and congratulations upon the happy event were many and sincere, just as the village newspaper said. So far as is known no hearts were broken or even bruised in the case. John had no rivals. Nor had Emma. He wanted a good sensible wife. She wanted a good sensible husband. They were married. Everybody was satisfled. Theirs was the most commonplace of courtlngs. He escorted her home trom churcir-^me—nl*bi. and they stood for a time at the front gate while the little god of love performed his duty. Th*y did not realize the solemnity of the occasion, otherwise be would have talked less fluently of butter and eggs, and she would have «ubdued her references to the starching and ironing of shirts. It was fate. John said to himself that there was a girl who wa* practical, a girl well calculated to comfort a man who worked for his- daily bread. Emma said to herself (mark the coincidence) that here was a man who was practical, a man who wasted his brain tissue with no trivial subjects of thought. And from that moment the compact between them was virtually sealed. A year passed before he asked her to snare his fortunes. Scarcely an instant passed before he received his answer. He kissed her then, and they were very happy. "John," said she, as they parted that —nighty-Engaged couples arc different from unengaged ones. Come and see me often, John, for I shall be lonesome without you. Come Monday, Tuesday and the other days." Til do it," said John, trying to remember a couplet he had laboriously committed to memory; "I'll—I'll do it." "Do," said she. "0, I will," said he. Thus it came about that whenever business was a bit slack in the store John girded up his apron, which bore a saleratus brand upon its bib, and went forth to call briefly upon Emma. And he never failed to find her busy with household work, her round white arms bared to the elbows, her fingers often bedecked with dabs of dough, her face flushed by the heat of the kitchen fire. And he said to himself fervently, in much the same spirit that characterizes the stock burst of gratitude in the more thrilling of love tales, "What a prize I've won! What a girl she is! 0 my!M And he walked upon air in his leaden deliberate way straight to the wedding day. Emma was not beautiful. She was "What a prize Fve won!" not witty. She possessed not those qualities which throughout the pages of a questionable literature have made woman-at once the despair and joy of the masculine heart. John understood this and gloried In it. He himself had not been a success at holding up one end of even a five minutes' conversation with the more dashing of the girls who attended the church socials. He rather (eared these girls. He was never able to quite free himself from the suspicion that they were making fun of him. He pitied the brilliant young chape whom they married. And it was to alto with Emma. The brilliant young eaan f«djMtg*a gated In the purely complimentary tease] voted her dead eall wlthevt a eietentiag voice. They saU she was a cheese, form. $be was utterly without power to set the strings of the gilded male her sensible solid way, declaring that she hoped the Lord would have mercy on the poor creatures that married them—with the emphasis strongly on the pronoun. So sbc was married to John, and John was married to her, and, as has been state; 1, everybody was satisfied. Another year passed, during which John builded a square dwelling with no nonsense about it, and set a row of hard niaples along the front walk, and purchased a cow. Then he bought a simple wicker perambulator and opened a ledger account with the leading doctor. Life for the blissful couple was on In •'What! You say that!" real earnest, and life in real earnest is a pretty serious matter. Ti was then that the covering of the ideals began to loosen in places and fall off. By the end of one more year the process was complete. John growled at the cost of living. Emma neglected-her back—bale He discovered with a shock that the cooking was tadly done and th.it the houss was badly kept. He uttered a hoarse note of complaint, and was momentarily paralyzed by the sight o* Emma shedding great soaking tears. He had thought her superior to such petty weakness. Matters did not Improve during the nest year. They unimproved. John's business affairs went wrong. It was the year of panic, and collections were dilhcult to make. Instinct prevented him from groaning in the market place, hence he brought his groans home and discharged them in an avalanche at his wife. Then John failed. He came home one night, and sat for a long time beneath a cobweb in a corner of the sitting room, staring with wide unseeing eyes at the picture of Garfield upon the wall, saying nothing, heedless of the food upon the table. Emm?, sat in the kitchen, rocking ceaselessly, their child ixsleep in her arms. She knew what had happened. A glance at John had told her all she cared to he told! So the minutes became hours, and the fire died out, and a chill came into the air. The clock struck nine. Johu spoke. "Km," said he, "'it's all over." "I know it," she returned. "What are you going to do about it?" "I don't know," he replied. T m clean discouraged—beat. I'm a poor stick." "Yon are," she agreed promptly. He started violently. "What!" he cried. "You say that? I reckon, madari, r;n as much of a success as you— you that deceived me—that lured me to marry you imder false pretenses! You that made out to be helping your ma so good with the housework! You that run whenever you saw me coming and put on your apron and rolled up your sleeves and dabbled your hands with flour or grabbed up a flatiron! You—O. I know all about it! I should think you'd have been ashamed of yourself, letting your ma do all the work while you just lazed round! I should think you'd be ashamed of yourself this minute sitting there on that floor tha4. hain't been swept for a week! Did you think I wouldn*t find yon out? 0, you deceiver you!" He arose to bis feet, excitedly pacing from one room to the other; then paused, an expression of surprise and bewilderment In his eyes, for Emma was smiling at him through tears. "John," she demanded, quietly, "who told you that?" "I overheard your pa telling Squire Wlgham," he said, "and they seemed to think 'twas the best joke ever was. But it hurt me fearful and roiled me up. You've no idea how it roiled me up, Km!" "Tea, I have, John." said she, "Mercy! Do yon think I'm blind and w M m—***tri**m deaf? But It wasn't to bad at pa made it out to be, honest, it waaa't Jutt once I run and pat on an apron and rolled up. my sleeves to deceive you, and that time 'twas because I'd torn a big hole in the front of my dress and the tleevet were all stained up with raspberry juice. Pa was always teasing me about it afterwards. He thinks he's an awful rich joker, pa does. And at for my failing to keep house good for you, John, there wasn't any trouble till baby came, and then I didn't have time nor strength to do it, and you couldn't afford to hire help, and you wouldn't tell me why, and— and—<X John'." She placed the child in its cradle, and with deliberate impulsiveness threw her arms about John's neck. His arm slowly wound itself about her waist "We're Just as foolish as—as the fools, John," she sobbed. "Fooler," declared he, decidedly. "I hain't given you a fair shake, Em. I'm going to be different." They were silent for an interval— an Interval of close, wordless communion such as in the popular love tales precedes the marital state, but never accompanies it Emma broke the silence at last with a whisper. "John, I'm awful sorry about the store." "Don't you worry about that," said John. "I'm no worse off than lots of others, It don't fret me a mite—not a mite, Em." Then he turned up the lamp and rekindled the fire and drew the curtains, and, they sat down comfortably with beaming faces to tea and muffins just as the clock struck ten. —mif-m— i n * iM""»i>i.r;i"in»> .'t"..'

The Greek Catholic monks, who are In possession of the chief portion of the church of the Holy Sepulcher, are now going to build a bazaar opposite It, where pilgrims may purchase souvenirs of their visit to Jerusalem. During the process of clearing the site the foundations of an old medieval church, forty meters long and thirty wide, with £hree apses, were discovered. A number of fine capitals, fragments of basalt pillars and bas-reliefs, with symbolic animals, were found, all these remains having, doubtless, belonged to the choir of the church. Last year a valuable silver shrine, containing a piece of the holy cross and relics of the Apostles Peter and Paul—according, at least, to the inscrlptlons on them—was discovered at the same place. The patriarch of Jerusalem, it is said, is keeping other discoveries secret, owing to his dislike of the Roman Catholic church. Those mentioned above are all the more important as it can be ascertained to what church they belonged. According to the statement of a medieval traveler, the hospice and the monastery, which the citizens of Amalft founded about the year 640,- as a refuge for Western pilgrims, was situated due south of the Holy Sepulcher, about a stone's throw away. The first church was built in honor of St. Mary de Latins, and the secphd, the ruins of which have now been found, in honor of St John the Baptist. The French monk Bernard, who lived there in 870, highly praised the hospitality and the large library of the hospice. A Mohammedan historian says it was destroyed by the Kl^alif Hakem and rebuilt shortly afterward; while, according to another account, it prospered down to the time j of King Baldwin of Jerusalem, from J 1J00 to 1118, when the two communities of St. Mary and S t John adopted the latter as their joint protector. This was the origin of the Knights of St. ] John. The remains now discovered, therefore, are the ruins of the cradle 1 of this order.

British service papers have noted that the Prince of Wales is the first heir apparent to the British crown to hold an actual commission in the navy, the senior service on their side of the water. Hitherto the heir apparent has been put into the army, and any naval rank he may have held has been purely honorary. The same rule was followed in the case of the sons of the present king; Prince Edward was made a soldier, and died while major in a hussar regiment; Prince George was made a sailor, and has commanded his own ship on a regular cruise. Now, by the death of his elder brother, he becomes Prince of Wales, the first of the line to be a sailor. Hitherto he has been promoted rapidly, but with a decent period of service in each rank, until he now holds the commission of a captain. Hereafter his promotion will be honorary, as it will no longer bo advisable for the heir to the crown to go to sea In command of a fleet or to take the risks of a naval officer.— New York Sun.

THURSDAY, JAN. 16,1902. Some Changes in The School Laws. " Several important changes were made in the school laws at the last session of the legislature. The county school commissioner's term is made four years instead of two. The compulsory school age is in the ungraded districts from 8 to 15. The February examination is abolished. Teachers must be at least 18 years of age. The director must provide the teacher with a copy of the school census, for the district and pach month tne teacher must report the names of sucu pupils of school age in the district as do not attend school. (This would probably mean those between the ages 8 and 15 years.) The truant officer is required to give but one notice to pareut9 whose children are not in school if at any time thereafter the same^ children are not in school, he may at once proceed against said parents or guardians. Holders of slate certificates must file a copy of the same with the commissioner of the county in which they expect to teach. Rural high schools may be established in certain townships, which contain no village or city high schools. Any person who is a graduate of any kindergarten training —school-approved by the snperin tendent of public instruction and who holds a teacher'b certificate or diploma from any high school having a four year's course shall be legally qualified to teach in kindergarten departments and to draw public money. The district board shall provide water supply for pupils. TO C n r e a Cold i n One D a y T a k e Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All d r u g g u t s refund the money if it fails to cur9. E W. Grove's sign a t u r e is on each box. 25c. There are many citizens who have relatives in Germany who do not know that th« United States have a parcel post arrangement with that country. Parcels of merchandise to the weight of 11 pounds can be sent at the rate of 12 cents a pound. No fractions of pounds are considered, any fraction being charged as a full pound. The package must not be sealed. I t would be well for every one who sends a package to get specific directions at trie postoffice before doing it up. By thi3 rate a package can be sent to Germany cheaper than to Ypsilanti. This parcel post will give many an opportunity to send their friends Christmas preseuts.

"This is Elmer Winston, en route from Jackson, Mich., to Denver, Colo. His mother will meet him at the Denver depot. Her name is Mrs. Chas. Winston. Conductors will please care for him." With this note pinned to the lapel of his coat and with twenty pennies tied up in a handkerchief, a five-year-old boy arrived at the Bock Island depot in Chicago Saturday, night. Policen a n Nicholas Martin took charge of the lad ujrtil his .train arrived, and then gave him. iuta the case of the conductor for a thousand miietrip. Those Big Lumber Hills* While in Cadillac, business called u& to. Cummer <fe Diggings "big mill," and finding much there that was new and interesting to us thought it might prove interesting to our readers. Inquiring the shortest way to "big mill" we were told to go fco the small mill, take first tram-way and follow it up which we did for nearly one-half mile, when we came to a big mill and found it nothing but a plaining mill but on a big scale as here they make all the mouldings, beaded lumber etc. and drew all lumber. Much of the lumber goes from the plainer to ,the car never leaving the shelter of the building as it is big enough to accomodate, on one side, 8 or 10 .cars at a time. However a great deal is stored in sheds but all under one ioof. Here we'showed our ignorance of such matters by asking if this was the "big mill' but were informed that it was not but to go right through the plaining mill and follow the tram-way. After another half-mile walk we began to hear the harsh noise of the saw and on reaching the building were surprised to find that at present the mill is running full force, full time, making chiefly— wood. Lumber is only a minor production at the mill as timber for lumber purposes is getting scarce in these parts of Michigan as elsewhere. Being interested in following a log through the mill we went to where the lo^s were being dumped from the cars into the water to be floated to the carriers or slide. Here the old saying: "Basswood, Tnrch, 5enc"iran"d hiapTe, all begins with a," came to us, for not only does the man of the "big mill" consume all of the above but, pine hemlock, ash and nearly every kind of known wool is taken in at one end and discharged at the other in nearly every conceivable ' shape from 16-inch wood at 80 cents a cord to 10-foot boards at $35 per thousand, and before we j had time to watch our log from j the water through the mill more than a thousand feet of lumber had been cut trimmed and sorted and 200 cords of wood cut and loaded into cars or on trucks, and no one touched a hand to it until it came to piling—all logs, lumber and wood being handled entirely by machinery even to putting the wood into the car and the lumber onto trucks. All saws used for sawing of logs are band saws, part of them cutting both ways so that the saw cuts when the carriage is coming back as well as going forward, thus saving time, and time is certainly money here. Of course these saws need sharpening and one man assisted by three others looks after this and all is done by machinery—an emery wheel being usedAand when started the saw goes automatically until sharpened. It is then placed upon another machine which sets the teeth in the same manner. We cau not explain the machine they call the "nigger" which ro]ls and handles the log on the carrier —it has to be seen to be appreciated. More than once we laughed to see the almost human action of the machine even to appearing out of patience because tbe log would not go right. We presume the man who had hold of the lever had something to do about the impatient actions of the "nigger." Of course we made inquiry about the cutting of so , much wood and found that the company owns large tracts of lend ;from which,-the best, timber has been taken and which is covered with a lot of trash which, good, bad and indifferent they *re having shipped to their mill where they claim that they xjan make it into wood at a cost of ten cents per cord. We thought of the people in our vicinity who were offering 50 and 60 cents per cord and then could not get it cut. Our next inquiry was "what do you do with the wood?" We found that the best of it—several car-loads per day—was shipped to citizens and. sold while a great deal was worked up in a new plant they have recently established for the manufacture of wood alcohol and we will give a shortaccount of that enterprise in another letter.

"How long has the minister been preaching?" whispered the stranger who had wandered into the church and sat down a w a y back. "About thirty years. I believe," replied- the'other occupant of the pew. "That beiUK the case." rejoined the stranger. "I guess I'll stay. He must be nearly done."—Chicagj News. "I fell in love with my husband," one lady recently declared, "because he w a s the only man about whom no one w a s ever heard to say an unkind word. Even the women, although he paid them no special attention, wore agreed t h a t he was 'a darling;' and, although he was plain, almost to ugliness, and old enough almost to be my father, I loved him and determined to marry him long before he had any such thought of me." Not loug ago a Yorkshire lady ol wealth and beauty shocked her friends by marrying a poor cripple. It had come to her ears that he had long loved her in siience and had counted each day happy if he only caught a distant glimpse of her. She discovered that he w a s a devoted son and brother and a m a n of unusual gifts and, culture for his humble position, and, moved by one of those sudden, generous impulses to which some women are liable, she sought an interview with him, told him t h a t she had learned his secret and offered him her hand and fortune. This may appear a strange and Improbable thing, but t h o u s a n d s know that it is literally true. Another lady whose marriage resulted from a similar impulse gives this explanation of it. Among tbe friends of her family w a s an old bachelor with a reputation for crustiness who had known her from a child and had often nursed her In early days. To her he had always been gentle and kind, and she had loved him "in a w a y " as long as she could remember. One day she said, " W h y have you never married, Mr. ?" "Marry, my dear? Why, no one would ever marry a g r u m p y old man like me!" "Of course they would!" she answered indignantly. "Why. I would marry you myself!" "Thank you. my dear!" came the unexpected answer. "Then we'll consider the matter ended." In spite of her surprise and misgivings the girl loyally kept her promise, and she has never had reason to regret her "moment's indiscretion." A iady friend of the writer married her husband for the very illogical reason that he was an avowed woman hater. He made no secret of his aversion to the fair sex and declared it so constantly that, as she says. "I vowed I would convert him and make him change his mind, at least so far as one of my sex was concerned." He was not difficult to convert, for within 12 months he had forsworn his creed so far as to conduct one of the "hated sex" to the altar, and now he declares that he "loves them a l l .

The other keepers tried to take him out of the cage, but to have done so would have meant a bitter and bloody flght with the three Rtriped ones. ^They -guarded him all night in his drunken slumber.

At the moment a train from a long distance pulled up at the station, and the three men scrambled in. In the carriage was seated one other passenger. As soon as they had regained their breath one said: "Pat, have you got th' tickets?" "What tickets? I've got me loife! I thought I'd have lost that gettin' in th' thraln. Have you got 'em, Moike?" "01? Begorrah, I haven't!" "Oh, we're all done for, thin!" said the third. "They'll charge us rolght from th' other soide of Oireland." The old gentleman looked over his newspaper and said: "You are quite safe, gintlemen. Wait till w e get to th' next station." As soon as the train pulled up the little gentleman Jumped out and came back with three first class tickets. Handing them to the astonished strangers, he said: "Whist, I'll tell you how I did it!

A German professor who ii given to treat deliber&tlob Of speech And has never been known to increase Its speed under the most compelling circumstances had an amusing experience in a restaurant hot long ago. • The waiter had .brought htm raw oysters, and, to bis dismay, he saw that the professor had apparently no intention of tasting them. "I cannot eat these oysters," said the German slowly, without raising his eyes to the anxious waiter. The mar seized the plate and bore it out of sight in an instant. He was a new waiter, and it was with much trepidation that he laid the second supply of oysters before this discriminating patron. "I cannot eat these oysters," said the professor after one glance at the plate which had been set before him. " I - I think you'd find them all right, sir," faltered the waiter. "I don't think there's anything wrong about them, sir." He looked miserable, hav ing been told that the German w a s a frequent and valued patron of the restaurant and must be well and quickly served. "I cannot eat these oysters," announced the professor for the third time, with the calmness of chorus in a tragedy, "because as yet you have furnished me no fork."—Youth'? Companion.

An inventor, having produced a wonderful hair invigorating (luid, sent a case of bottles to a bald editor, with a request for a testimonial. He got it in these terms: "A little applied to the inkstand has given it a coat of bristles, making a splendid penwiper at a small cost. Wo applied the lather to a twopenny nail, and the nail is now the handsomest shaving brush you ever saw, with beautiful, soft hair growing from the end of it some five or sis inches io length. "Applied to doorsteps, it does away with the use of a mat; applied to the floor, it will cause to grow therefrom hair sufficient for a brussels carpet. A little weak lather sprinkled over a shed makes it impervious to the wind, rain or cold. It is good to put inside children's cradles, sprinkle on the roadside or anywhere that luxurious grass is wanted for use or ornament. It produces .the effect in ten minutes."—Collier's Weekly.

The other day Miller and a would be customer all but came to blows over a pound or so of pork chops, and the discussion finally culminated in Miller irately demanding: " 'Well, why don't you go to Smith (a rival butcher) if you can get them cheaper?' " 'Because,' explained the customer, 'Smith hasn't got any.' "'Oh!' said Miller, I s that so? Well, when I haven't got any my price will be 4 cents, too, but while I have they cost 7 cents. See?'

The winter is of eight months' duration, dry and, excepting certain restricted localities, entirely free from wind. ~Ttre~ temperature descends low as 80 degrees, with a mean of perhaps 40 degrees. Ice forms in the rivers and lakes to a thickness of eight feet and more. Summer extends over four months. During its earliest month high winds prevail. The balance of this short season is mild and the temperature pleasant, rarely exceeding SG degrees. The snow and rain annually precipitated is about 12.9 inches.—Era. Africans Wa*h, hot Never "Wipe. Great attention is given in most of the African tribes to the care of the body. The teeth are cleansed with a stick which has been chewed into a kiud of brush. The hands are washed frequently, not by turning and twisting and rubbing them together one within the other, as with us, but by a straight up and down rubbing, such as is given to the other limbs. This manner of washing Is so characteristic that an African might be distinguished by it from a European without reference to the color.

T h e report that the Michigan Conti* ftl Railway Company will commence suit against t h e stttte^-^a^XJO^OM d a m a n s for the repeal of its charter in the TTnited States courts causes some surprise, inasmuch as the law passed preliminary to the repealing statute giving the railroad companies whose charters might be repealed the right to sue the state provides t h a t such suits shall be commenced either in the Circuit Courts of Wayne, Ingham or Kent comities. If the Michigan Central Company intends to begin the trial of tbe case in the United States courts it evidently intends to disregard the provisions of t h e Michigan statute if not to assail its legality, and there is said to . be a very nice question wrapped up in this proposition. The state will, of course, be prepared to contest the right of the -company, to n-vall_ltseJf_oI the TTnited States courts in the trial of the case, and it will be contended that the railroad company has no right to commence «mit against the state except uni'ier the- conditions which the legislature has provided. Lawyers are looking forward to one of the greatest legal battles of the age whei' the questions at issue a r e tried out In tbe courts, and the question of jurisdiction is one that will probably first be considered.

From tbe present indications the old shaft m a y go altogether, causing great loss to the corporation. All the extra pumps necessary to free the workings of surplus water are not yet in operation.

'I To said: "Xo. Ry May I fear we shall have c;x-h a smallpox scare and epidemic that London will be quarantined when King E d w a r d Is crowned." T h a t this is by no means a pessimistic forecast is evidenced by the {act that the line referred to began thl« week to have tbe crews of its ships vaccinated prior to leaving Louden for New York. Other lines are following its example, fearing that, any day, the American authorities may place London- shipping under an embargo on account of smallpox. The vaccinatum of tlie crews is only a preliminary to the same operation in the cast> of passengers. l*J»c C o r o n a t i o n Renreii.cnlfttlvt'. President Roosevelt is considering the advi.-ability of sending his brother- in-law. Commander William S. Oowles. TT. S. X., as the representative of tlie I'nited States at the coronation. This is evidently put forward as ii feeler of public sentiment. It is suggested that one reason for this selection is tlie fact that C'owles has u personal acquaintance with Kim; Ed- < ward. There would be m a n y heart- V burnings in the naval circle if ail the officers of higher grades were passed over and one who has not reached a captain's rank selected. Oowles and the president are very intimate, and their families are often seen together. Schley t o Appeal.

JACK,/PROM BOHEMIA. Famous old Big Ben had boomed out the hour of 3 one afternoon in May, when Jack Overton, who had recently shaken off the dust of the Bohemian Latin quarter in Paris, debouched from one of the numerous courts branching out from the Strand, London, and strolled along this great thoroughfare. Overton was a man of possibly twenty-five. His form was well built and athletic, bis countenance, while not whplly handsome, worthy of deep study—an expert at physiognomy would have gloried in reading the potential features BO- plainly marked, and his verdict must have 'been that while the young man had not yet awakened to the resistless and dominant power that slumbered within his grasp, the force of circumstances would sooner or later bring it to the fore. For some time he had drifted along ___in_Ms__sJtu^ies-—iattaint gleam of success had begun to brighten the~east:ei skies—there was a promise of his latest picture being accepted for the Salon, when his future could be looked up^n as assured. It was at this critical juncture in his affairs when a little more resolute work would have landed him well on the road to success, that fortune, and a woman, brought about a crisis which threatened his bark with disaster. This accounted for the eagerness with which he scrutinized the inmates of the various vehicles moving hither and thither along the Strand. Finally his kindling gaze was glued upon a dashing equipage, evidently headed toward Rotten Row, and particularly upon the beautiful woman who sat there nonchalantly holding a lacetrimmed parasol above her dainty head, and occasionally addressing some word to her elderly gentleman companion, whose bronzed face and air of distinction marked him as a traveler or man of note in Her Majesty's colonial empire. Jack held his breath and gritted his teeth as he looked. He loved, aye, worshiped this radiant creature. He, srpoor, unknown artist, dared to raise his eyes to such a beautiful bird of fashion. Why not—who had a right one-half so strong? Time was when he knew Fedora as a modest little English girl with a passionate desire to study art, when he had given innumerable opportunities to stand between her and insult, to soften the rough places for her dainty feet, to assist her in the work she had chosen while his own lay neglected in his garret studio. Yes, they had become such great friends in Bohemia that it ripened into love, though on Jack's part he fairly adored the girl from the hour they first met. Thus vows were exchanged, and for months they drifted along in a fool's paradise. Then Jack, poor fellow, insisted on endeavoring to open communications between Fedora and the grim -old English grandfather who had exiled his daughter for marrying against his august will. The negotiations succeeded all too well, and one day there came a dolorous scene when Jack and his betrothed separated, she to go to her new English home, he to work feverishly on the great picture that was to make tuch a sensation in the Salon—the face of Fedora, created by a hand inspire* by the divine passion—and bring him the fame and fortune which he longed to lay at her feet. At last it was finished, all but a few touches. He had for some time been on the verge of distraction. Stray rumors that Fedora had forgotten him. He, faithful to death himself^ believed steadfastly in the woma^ a he loved, and indignantly chased all satanic doubts headlong from his mind. Still, they crept back in spite of him, and when existence finally became unendurable away from the atmosphere she breathed, he had brought his treasured canvas to Lon?. don. Never had he suspected the full extent of her radiant beauty and her Queenly manner until the moment his eyes fell upon her in the vehicle that rolled toward Rotton Row. Could such a prize be for him? Then came a revulsion of feeling. She belonged to him—she had again and again vowed no power on earth but death could take her from him. More than that, did he not owe her hie life? There had bean a fire, and Jack, overcome in his sleep by smoke, might have perished but that .some girl dared death to run in and. drag him to the open air. t They told him *ra—the-bH-of it was Fedora, and although she had always in her modesty, appeared confused when he spoke of the subject, yet he never doubted. At this day Overton had not learned what a mighty influence Moloch had upon the average human heart, nor the winning power of Gold. The time was coming when he would discover these things through bitter experience that would warp his nature and change his disposition. It was his desire to notice what effect bis presence might have upon the beautiful girl in the landau. When her wandering gaze suddenly fell upon him she gave a perceptible start, and the color left her cheeks only to immediately return, and as the vehicle passed he was quick to discover the card, which she had dextrously tossed out apparently unseen by her escort, flutter to the asphalt. CHAPTER II. THE MEETING ON THE STRAND. Jack lost not a second in capturing pa*teboar4L—It--waa-5impiy a carte de visite, and gave the address of her grandfather's city house. Overton made up his mind that come what would that night should see him at the address she had given, to hear from her own lips his doom. Until that had been pronounced he could not and would not believe that she meant to cast him aside. As he swung down the crowded Strand he was suddenly aware of a gentle pull at his sleeve, a modest little jerk, entirely lacking the assurances that might suggest a bold seeker after alms. "Oh, Mr. Jack!" said a quick voice in accents of eagerness. An when Overton looked down from his six feet, and saw the girl's rosy face half shrouded in a blue hood, he experienced such genuine pleasure that the haunted, devil-may-care expression gave way to a glow of sincere satisfaction as he caught the hand she had laid on his own and squeezed it in his own broad palm. If he hurt her the girl gave no sign. "Bless me, Mazette, this is a pleasure now. Fancy our meeting in the crowded streets of London. How do you__get on? Has fortune looked your way? I hope and trustrthose~~dtvtmr little miniature portraits on ivory bring you in a fair income among these people of your blood." Thus he chattered on. Mazette looked up to the longrlegged, bighearted American as a prince of men. Secretly she adored him, but no one ever knew that his face was the shrine at which the modest child of nature worshipped, for, like most girls of the present day, Mazette refused to wear her heart upon her sleeve for daws to peck at. "What brings you here, Mr. Jack?" she asked. Overton winced as he remembered the nature of his hasty jump from Paris. Then he made up hia mind to unburden his soul, and having resolved to make the plunge, he started in with an impetuosity that startled his demure little companion. If Jack had been able to look under that blue hood while he poured out his passionate story ho might have received something of a shock. Most, certainly poor Mazette was experiencing one, "It is hard to give advice, Mr. Jack. She has not thrown you over yet," she said. "You know Fedora so well, you should be able to judge what she will do—whether or not the glitter of gold would tempt her to give up the man to whom she swore deathless fealty. Tell me truly, little friend, although I would bless you for words of comfort, still I only desire to know what you believe*— the truth, even if it kill me." "You must be calm, Mr. Jack. Even though you lost Fedora, there are other things in the world worth living for," she began, slowly, painfully. He uttered a hollow groan. "Ah, money is very powerful, Mr. Jack. It .makes the strongest weak. You must not think too harsfily^oTfier if the temptation proves irresistible." "Already you fear the worst." he exclaimed. "God help me if it proves to be so. You wou]d never condemn the man you loved, Mazette; sell him for filthy lucre." "Thanks for your good opinion. No one may ever know how strong they are until the temptation has come," she replied, steadily, but deep down in her heart the little artist girl was saying over and over again: "Not for all the gold in the world, nor for precious stones, would I sell his lore if It were only mine." j Mazette adroitly, changed the conversation/ and endeavored to cheer him 4tp. i. , . "You must be sure to drop in to see us very soon, and take *ea with aunty,"'she said at length, as they were about to separate. "I promise you,** he replied oulclriy. God bless you for a true-hearted comrade, and may you in the years to come never know the agony of mind and heart that threatens me now." "I shall endeavor to avoid that by never allowing myself to fall In love," she replied, a little hysterically, offering him her hand. "What, your left hand, Mazette. Pardon me, did I hurt the other, brute that I am? No, then surely you have been in -an accident since last I saw you, else why should your arm hang so helplessly at your side? Tell me, is it not so?" with anxious solicitude that was not at all affected. The girl looked either vexed or frightened. "It is nothing. Long ago I had an accident, and when I use the arm steadily I feel it. Of late X have been unusually industrious. That is all, believe -me, Mr. Jack. You will come —soon?" as she moved off. "Surely," was his reply. As Mazette hurried on, her heart throbbing with conflicting emotions, she was saying to herself, almost hysterically: "He must never, never know what a weak little fool I am, or why this poor arm sometimes hangs useless at my side. That is my secret, and it shall die with me. But I fear Fedora ia lost to him forever—that go_ld_has won her heart." CHAPTER III. DECLINED, WITH THANKS. Somehow Overton felt better after this little chat with the miniature painter. True, in her candor and knowledge of Fedora's weakness she had not been able to give him much encouragement. In fact, she seemed to accept it as a settled fact that the girl he loved would sacrifice him on the altar of Mammon, but the very contact with such a cheery nature as that of Mazette was bound to exert.a helpful Influence upon him. He was standing at the corner of Chancery Lane, debating the momentous question as to where he should bestow the favor of his patronage for supper, when he was given something of a staggering shock, for there, within ten feet of him, seated in a hansom, and evidently trying to attract his attention, was the identical bronzed and bearded gentleman whom he had seen some hours before at Fedora's side in the handsome turnout, bound for Rotten Row. In this distinguished personage Overton at once and instinctively recognized the rival whom he had to meet on ^Tmeven- terms. — The gentleman had now a fair look at his face, and immediately jumped out of his cab. "Pardon me," said he, in a deep voice that somehow grated on Jack's ears, perhaps because he had already conceived a deadly feeling of enmity toward the other. "Pardon me, but I believe I have the honor of addressing Mr. John Overton, late of the Latin Quartier, Paris?" Overton answered stiffly: "That happens to be my name, sir." "Allow me to introduce myself." Overton looked at the card and deiberately looked at the inscription. "Captain Maurice Stanton Livermore," The Horseguards." It was a name known far and wide —a name that had been carried to remote places in the Dark Continent—a name mentioned with especial honor in descriptions of English operations on the borders of India, where only valor counts, and men carve oue reputations with the sword in a desperate duel with savage tribes. Jack knew it well. 'The name is not unfamiliar to me. In what way can I be of service to you, sir?" he said with an effort at diffidence, not?" "You are an artist, if I mistake "Yes, I aim to be." "I am greatly interested in art, and desire to have some commissions executed. Having heard you favorably mentioned I would like you to join me at dinner where we can doubtless find an opportunity to reach an agreement." It was on the tip of Jack's tongue to coldly decline the invitation. Prul dence—policy if you will—checked his disdainful tongue in time. "I accept your invitation, sir, without in any way committing myself to any policy you may suggest, or compromising myself in the least." he said quietly. The other looked grimly pleased. They walked along together as well as the crowded condition of the street would permit, until finally they reached a notable restaurant, into which the strangely matched couple plunged. As Overton sat there in the *v«y room, vis-a-vis with Captain Livermore, somehow he was reminded of a man whom the irony of fortune had seated above a volcano or a powder magazine liable to explode at any moment (To be continued.) A disastrous Are occurred at StockhrWz^ e^rly Friday morning. It started In the, bazaar of,MMtr & Fitch, add soon spread to toe stores of Mftnei Bros., furniture and undertakers, and the agricultural store of Reason & Ives. AH the buildings were destroyed, Mrs. WestfflH occuplod rooms and bad a millinery store in one of the buildings. T-be Maccabee hall was over one of the stores destroyed, and the K. O. T. M. and L. O. T. M. lost everything in the hall. Mr. Mills and wife lived in the rear of the store, and they Were 'awakened by-the dog jamping on to their bed and barking, trying to arouse them from the danger that was «o near. Mr. Mills arose and made the discovery, and they h«d just time to make their escape. Nothing was saved from this store, but a large amount of goods was saved from the other stores. The loss is estimated at from $15,000 to $30,000, partially covered by insurance. For Michigan Office Holders.

ANOTHER REMARKABLE CAM Which the Doefors Failed to Care,«* A Medieal man as a rale dislike* t o acknowledge the value of a proprietary medicine—in fact, professional etiquette debars him from doing so. Yet there art many eminent physician.;, those most advanced In their professions, who give full credit to the great curative properties of Vogeler's Curative Compound, from the fact that it Is manufactured by an old and reliable company, proprietors of St. Jacob's Oil, from the formula of a brother physician, who to-day stands in the front ranks of the most eminent medical men in London, and oh account of its Intrinsic merit, it is largely prescribed by the medical profession; but, in the case which we are about to relate, the attending physician called -it "rubbish," but, as it turned out, Mrs. Nettleton tells the doctor that "rubbish or not, it saved her life." Mrs. Nettleton graphically relates the particulars of her own case, which will doubtless be of interest to many of our lady readers: "I had been an intense sufferer for many years from dyspepsia, liver and kidney troubles, when a little pamphlet was placed In my hands, and, although at that time I had been bedridden for more than six months, I determined, after reading some of the wonderful testimonials therein of cases similar to mine, which had been completely cured by the timely use of Vogeler's Curative Compound, to try some, especially as my doctors failed to even benefit me, and 1 had almost given up all hope of ever being well Secretary Smith, of the Michigan Pan-American commission, expects that the commission will be able to return $11,000 to the state treasury. The secretary of the navy has prepared for submission to congress a bill providing for the establishment of a naval training station on the great lakes. ; An elfort is being made to have tin* sentence of Morris Gnrnsey, of Battle Creek, who was gem.to tho state prison at Jackson by 'Jiul-ge WIsner on :i charge i)f lnm-ny, commuted from four to two years. Kalamazoo is aftor an appropriation to dredge the river there, and the river and harbor committee of the house has promised to give a few citizens of the Celery City a hearing. Monroe also desires a similar appropriation. Mrs. F>urt Farringtou. wife of tho man who killed Jesse Hooker, still remains at the .Hooker home in Adrian, 'mid seen is to be entirely welcome there.

It was not long before I was able to get up and about; three months from taking the first dOBe I was enjoying better health than I had been for fourteen years. I continued well until a few months back, when 1 was taken ill again, my troubles being dyspepsia and constipation. I had a doctor attending me for a month, but continued to grow worse, until I again found myself bedridden, when I bethought myself of my old medicine, Vogeler's Curative Compound, which I immediately sent for and took in place of the doctor's medicine; at that time I had not had a movement of the bowels for five days, out Vogeler's Curative Compound soon put me on my feet again—in fact, completely cured me a second time, but, ot course, this attack was not as bad as tho first, yet I fully believe I should not have been alive today had it not • been for Vogeler's Curative Compound. i If I had only thought to have taken it when my last Illness took place, I ! should not only have been saved much I suffering, but a $75 doctor's bill." I Mrs. Nettleton said: "I have recomi mended Vogeler's Curative Compound | for indigestion and ecrema/and in evory case it has proved a cure beyond a doubt. Mr. Swinbank, our chemist, has sent me the names of no end of people who have been cured by Vogeler's Curative Compound. By the way, the proprietors have so much confidence* in this great London physician's discovery, that they will send a sample free to any person sending name and address and naming this paper." St. Jacob's Oil Co, 205 Clay Street, Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Nettleton is a confectioner, in the Brighton Road, where she has been established many years, and is honored and respected by all classes. Her statements as regards Vogeler's Curative Compound may, therefore, be regarded as reliable evidence of its great value. The public, however, may look upon this remarkable statement as one of the many which we are constantly receiving from grateful people all over the world, who have been cured of various maladies by the use of this wonderful remedy, which Is the result of an eminent physician's life-long experience. These people are nearly always representative and well-known citizens. G r a i n , E t c . Detroit.—Wheat: Cash No 2 red. 93c; May. 92Vjc; July.

All the men iwho were engaged in it have left col* lege long ago, but the matter has been handed down to the undergraduates and serves for a subject of perpetual wrangling. The trouble w a s that in those days they played the game too late in the day, and before it could be finished it w a s so dark one could scarcely distinguish one side from the other. The dispute in question could not have arisen except for this cause. The game was played on Thanksgiving day, very nearly the shortest In the year;'~Tfcis partlcuiar--Thankflgiving w a s cloudy; consequentlyHhe darkness came on earlier than usua The way of it was this: Bannard w a s the center rush for Yale, and it wasn't known till the game began that he w a s suffering from some heart complication, probably brought on at practice the day before, when he suddenly fainted after a hard scrimmage. His doctor forbade his going into the Thanksgiving game, but he w a s loyal to his college/ and he knew it would lose without him. At any rate, there w a s a consultation on Thanksgiving eve, and when the boys appeared from behind locked doors it w a s announced that there had been a mistake about Bannard's heart trouble and he w< take his place in the team next da They will L Everything went straight enoughVtlU 1 near the end of the first half. B a n n e d shouldered the principal work, as he had always done, and Yale had scored more points than Harvard, but toward the end of the half Bannard began to look queer and let Sampson of Harvard right past him with the ball, thereby losing a touchdown.

It is announced that after Jan. 1 no round trip tickets will be sold in the territory of the Michigan passenger association. All persons traveling in this state will be able to purchase one way tickets only. This action was brought about by the fact that on that date the passenger fares on t i e Michigan Central, Lake Shore and the Wabash railroads are to be reduced from three to two cents per mile to conform to the conditions of the law recently passed by the Michigan legislature. All Michigan roads are affected by this action at competitive points and therefore the agreement to do away with the round trip ticket was made. The Scale* on the Hair. If you look at a human hair under the microscope, you will find that Its surface is formed of successive overlapping scales. The bristles of the hog bear much resemblance to the human hair, though their diameter is greater and the tilelike scales are much finer. Sheep's hair has much coarser scales. It Is owing to the existence of these scales that a schoolboy is able by a peculiar process to tell which is the tip and which the othter end of a hair rolling It between his finger and thumb.

Great guns, how he did play! l i e w a s at the front, at the flank, in every scrimmage. In short, he was carrying the game far ( better than he had ever done before. Then came that celebrated run in which he dodged six men and, unguarded, carried the ball over the line twenty yards in front of his nearest follower for a touchdown. I watched to see him kick his goal, and what was my surprise to see another man do it for him. I asked what it meant and was told that he had gone under again. The game now was tied. When the men lined up again, I watched for Bannard. Sure enough, he w a s there, and after the kickoff did the same astonishing work as before. He scored t w o touchdowns, but by this time it was so dark that I could not see whp kicked them. However, they both failed, on account of the darkness. I suppose, leaving Yale ahead in the game.

Whenever the signature r.f an Eii^- li.sh king or ijueen !s required in a visitor's booh or elsewhere it is customary to provide a new pen. which is not used by the hosts or the o4her guests unless It he handed them by the royal visitor. Another point of etiquette connected with pens and paper is that a letter to a sovereign is written on thick white paper, on one side only, nnd Is placed In an envelope large onaugh to contain the letter unfolded.
