I am greatly disappointed, for I wanted" a new trial before an uninfluenced court. "Now that a new trial is impossible in Cuba I ask the operation of all my friends i« the United States to try to get me a trial there. I will present .myself to answer any charges that may he brought against me through any legal constituted authority, growing •out of the-postal cases. It a new trial is not possible, 1 shall insist upon a •congressional investigation into all my acts in Cuba, and request the assistance • of oil my -friends to that end." / ... :—: : M a e Live* Lout.

Church bells were rung and the streets tilled with shouting and rejoicing people. The rejoicing In Canada was of the most widespread character, and reports from all the English colonies are of the same tenor. Monthly afternoon, the government leader in the house of commons announced the terms of peace to be as follows: The burgher forces lay down their arms and hand over all their rifles, guns and ammunition of war in their possession, or under their control. All prisoners are to be brought back as soon as possible to South Africa, without loss «f liberty or property.

General Wood's Salary A letter from the secretary of war appears in the report submitted by Chairman Hull, of (he house military committee, adverse to the resolution of Mr. Bartlett. of Georgia, asking for information as to the compensation paid Cen. Leonard Wood while governor- general of Cuba. Secretary Root states that Secretary Alger made an allowance to (Jen. Wood, out of the revenues of Cuba, of $7,500 a year, and continues: '"There has l>een no change since that time, except that when (Jen. Wood's commission as major-general of volunteers expired I made an order for further allowance, equal to the difference iH'tweefl: .the salary of major-general and brigadier-general, so as to keep his total compensation -at the same figure, the combined compensation received as au olflccr of the army and as governor of Cuba being always $1.",- (XK) per annum.

Miss Lulu Nelson of Osage, N. Y., • - pretty and- athletic achool-Heacher-of the "Hooper's Valley school, has demonstrated her ability to care for herself by thrashing several pupils who attempted to assault her, and has been acquitted by a jury of flogging one jit her assailants with a horsewhip. Several pupils of the school, led by Ira Hillegas, had organized a plot to oust the teacher. Miss Nelson ordered young Hillegas to replenish the fire. He refused and she threatened him with a whip. He attempted to strike her with a coal scuttle, and the other boys in the plot came to his aid, but she was equal to the occasion and placed her would-be assailants hors de combat. Then with a large horsewhip she administered a thrashing to Hillegas, raising fourteen ridges on his arms and back and drawing blood in three places. He swore out a warrant for her arrest and she was tried before Judge Smith. When, at the close of the evidence, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty, there was a dramatic demonstration in the court room. JV Chicago Strike Over. The packing teamsters' strike, which lias disturbed the peace of Chicago for nearly two weeks, and which Wednesd a y caused the most serious rioting that has occurred since the American Hallway Union strike in 1804. came to an end at 4:15 o'clock Thursday morning by an agreement, as a result of n secret conference between representatives of the packers and the teamsters a t the Grand Pacific hotel, which had been in session since 8 o'clock Wednesday night. The agreement reached at the conitrencc. is a partial victory for the *eatast#rs, iu, tlrat the-packers; have declared that they will not discriminate agpiust members of the union. The. «cale agreed upon is 2 cents lower than <tlwtjdeutauded.by the men. The men are to be pnid full time from time of . leaving barn imtiL return, with a de- •4iM#on of half a n bour for lunch. Thev '^Jrriot be required to work on Labor hills, and all on vhlgh. ground. Seen from the river they present the* finest view* of themselves, something the cities of the flat country farther dow» never do. It is a swift water that rushes past these cities. At low water, which i* usually in summer and fail, the current drops to three inches an hour or Jess. But at high water, when i t stands thirty or forty feet higher on its banks, it sweeps along at nine miles an hour with irresistible impetus.

In the city libraries, ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 volumes exist, and one of t h e most valuable collections of "Americana," hooks relating to the discovery and early settlement of Latin America, is that of Don Jose Maria de Agreda, an erudite gentleman descended from an ancient and noble Spanish family, who is the librarian of the national museum. Senor Agreda's collection is noted for its many priceless volumes, for he has been collecting hooks in this city since he was a lad.

One of the oldest cases of the kind is that of the English gamekeeper who was kflled by his son.

I will undertake, at short notice for a small sum and with great expections, to prepare victims for the asylums, poor-housesj prisons and gallows. I will furnish an article which will increase the amount of fatal accidents, multiply the number of distressing diseases and render those which are harmless incurable. I will deal in drugs which will deprive some of life, many of reason most of property and all of peace—which will cause the fathers to become fiends; wives, widows; Children, orphans and all mendicants. I will cause many of the rising generation tn grow up in ignorance and piove a burden and mi is ance to the nation. I will cause mothers to forget their offspring, and cruelty to take the place of love. * I will sometimes even corrupt the ministers of religion; obstruct the progress of the gospel: defilo the purity of the church, and cause temporal, spiritual and eternal death; and if any should be so impertinent as to ask why I have the audacity to bring such accumalated misery upon a comparitivly happy people, my honest reply is: "Money!"

"During" tbe season of Lent," says the London "Chronicle, "it was anciently the custom of the watchmen to crow the hour of the night instead of shouting it, the intention being doubtless ta remind sleepless sinners of the effect the third crowing of the cock had on St. Teter. served at This custom, too, was ol> the royal court, an officei known as 'the king's cock crower' performing the duty within the precinct* of the palace. "On the first Ash Wednesday after th» accession of* the house of Hanover, ai the then Prince of Wales, afterward George 11., was at supper, this officei entered and crowed 'past 10 o'clock.* The astonished prince mistook the crow for an insult and rose to resent it, but was made to understand with somt difficulty that the custom wag In accordance with court etiquette.

As Mary MacLane's book Is to be dramatized it seems to be about time to turn in a general alarm. Tte servant problem is being solved in New York. The society women are taking lessons in housework. Fort de France can hardly take its place among the world's celebrated health resorts for a few days yet. The excitement of dodging taxes does' a great deal to prevent New York's society suffering from ennui. man? The cyclones in Kansas and Oklahoma are selecting routes where they can use the fast trains for pacing purposes. The meanest man has just been discovered in Chicago. He pawned his wife's false teeth to raise money for a can of beer. Ragtime music has been prohibited on the recreation piers in New York. This is another of the horrible acts of the reformers.

The compluints have been under preparation ever since that testimony was given. The one against Sutton is tUgned by Attorney-(ienernl Oren, the others' being sworn to by Prosecutiiic Attorney Tuttle. It is alleged that Sutton swore falsely when on the stand hi his o w n defense dtrrinjf the trial which one year ago resulted hi his nc«julrtjil hi tlie military fraud.

Philadelphia has a baby that drinks five gallons of milk at a meal. O, yes, of course you knew right away that it is a baby elephant.

The culmination of the. deadlock be tween the.tux- commission and J. L. Board, of Port Huron, came to a showdown Friday, and Mr. Board w a s arrested, charped with the misdemeanor of refusing to iippear. before the commission and testify as to his property kolditnm. Board appeared in Police Court aiid refused to plead, the court entering a plea of not guilty. He was allowed to go on his own reoojrnlz ttnee, to appear for examination June 17. The arrest of Mr. Board lias caused a sensation, as it w a s not thought the commission-would go thai far. The arrest was .made under a statute which aids the board of tax commissioners to carry out their duties, and makes it a misdemeanor for any citizen who, when subpenned to appear before the board to testify us to property, refuses to come. Board will tight the case. The commission will have the auditor- general l>egin mandamus proceedings against the Commercial bank to have it disclose Board's deposits. They claim the bank should disclose the same as they would do in a garnishee case. «Tk* WUiU Ill»«*a.* Papers from Colorado Springs, Col., ha ve: baea received i n Battle Creek, giving long accounts of the experiences of Holla Cuskiug P w i n e t t formerly of that city, whose death in t h e Philippine* on the. e v e of his .marriage to a belle of the Choctaw Nattou w a s told in .the daily papers Thursday.

Some of the special correspondents who have been writing industriously about tbe Martinique calamity will soon arrive at tbe scene of the disaster. Now that a prize fighter has been killed in the ring at Boston, it may be discovered that Massachusetts h a s laws intended to prohibit public slugging matches. How will King Alfonso's subjects like his admission that he does not like bull fighting himself, and that he would like to introduce horse racing as a substitute? Queen Wilhelmina has contributed $800 for the benefit of the Martinique sufferers. This will cause her husband's creditors to express another large batch of disgust.

Millions of what are reported as the 17-yeor locusts were found on tbe Townr farm just north of Ann Arbor Thursday night. They swarmed In a large orchard and made a peculiar noise that was heard for about half a mile. Dispatches from Toledo state that the swarm is also appearing in that locality, and advices from Illinois are to the same effect. The mere fact that the locust is in the neighborhood is enough to cause the greatest alarm and the most serious speculation. No greater devastation of all that is green In vegetation is known. They are said to appear once in 17 years, and there are many authentic stories of the destruction they have brought to various parts of the country. Michigan, however, has escaped in a very large measure. Aa*« One Hundred fc«rt Eleven. Daniel Smith died suddenly Saturday morning at :1:80 o'clock at the residence of K. M.

He had no last Illness to distress himself or his friends, and in fact In all his life he w a s never ill. This fact necessitated the calling of a coroner to determine tlie cause of death before burial can take place. Deceased war the oldest man in Michigan and one of the oldest Iu the country.

The nett thing on the program was to find a chance for a quiet talk, where the captain could not Intrude. So he asked again for Lady Arllne, and she presently came down to the same bliou parlor, rosy and smiling. Charlie had bea*d the voice Of Capt. Brand somewhere about the hotel, and he was more or less concerned lest that worthy come in upon them ere he could make his arrangements. Hence he speedily opened the subject. > * "I have much of importance to tell you, and we must be where Capt. Brand may not intrude. Suppose I get a nice vehicle with a quiet animal and we can go to take a look at the suburbs of Antwerp." Arline did not hesitate. She knew that she could trust this frank-faced."gentleman with her Very life if need be. So she quickly agreed-- to his plan, •in fifteen mrmitee, then; and be sure you wrap.up well," said Charlie, hastening away to secure just the outfit that would suit his idea as to the right thing. True to his promise, he was back In good time. Near the'parlor CharMe ran across Brand, who greeted him rather effusively, he thought, and would have detained nimV only that the y6ung man refused to be held up, and laughinglypleaded an engagement with he w^ihed to keep a secret a nttle l longet The story was .done. ArUne had hung on his words eagefa, and hia assurance that Baron Peterhoff would take care of Capt. Brand, discovering the truth with regard to his claims, and relieve her of his presence—if, as Charlie suspected, the other proved to be an_arrant imposter— was comforting to her ^troubled heart. StlU Lady Arline showed no signs of nervousness. " "perhaps I may shock you, Mr. Stuart-r-perhaps you have such strict npjions_of honesty and a name upon which there has never been a stain, that you will hardly be as pleased to look upon me in the light of a sister when I confess that I have a relative in wnom I am deeply concerned, and who has broken the law of his native land—who took what was not his own and fted. In plain language, Mr. Stuart, my cousin betrayed a trust and stole money." She was scarlet with shame as she turned her blue eyes appealingly toward him. vLet me tell you as briefly as I can. I knew him quite well. He was younger, and a son of my father's only brother, now long Since dead. We were good friends up to the time he took this false step, and I was the last one he saw before he fled from England. Poor boy, if he had only confided in me, I could have easily settled the matter, which I did aoon afterward, at any rate. "I have been searching since last October; at times the trail would grow warm, and then I lost sight of him completely. "By mere accident a friend wrote me* that she believed she had seen him in Antwerp; though he had not answered her smile 4hd nod. I could very well understand why. since he. believed the officers from London were looking for him. "That is way I came here—to find this boy, to reclaim and make a man "Well, she has seldom missed her game—the most wonderful woman outside of Thackeray's Becky Sharpe I ever hear4 of.

He diitrtWited meat gratuitously to the poor population. In his propaganda he interviewed the prefect and ministers and even had audience of U * emperor. He opened the first hfepopbegoftS butchery, In the Place dltalia. ia 18*6. It was the siege of Paris that caused the flesh of horses to be regarded as a positive delicacy. That was thirty-two years ago. How has the notion progressed since? Paris has now 290 shops where they sell the meat; all are prospering, l a s t year 30,000 horses were, slaughtered and eaten. Rouen, Toulouse, Lille, Orleans, have all taken to horse eating. The meat is cheaper than beef.

Thus it came about that, after running the gauntlet fn this way, Charlie was at length given the proud.pleasure of driving away with the fair gtrl. Charlie knew it was only proper for him to open the ball with an account of the strange things that had befallen him since last he said Rood night. One thing he Intended keeping to himself for the present, and this was the name of the young fellow who had been his companion in the dungeon. At least there was no necessity of bringing it forward until he had heard what she wished to tell him, and discovered if his suspicions were confirmed. "Now that there is no longer a chance of our being overheard, I'm going to make an awful confession to you, Lady Arline," he said. She turned a startled face toward him, and, immediately seeing the quizzical smile, felt relieved. "I shall fortify myself to hear it. Pray proceed." "Where do you think I passed the nightr She believed she could account for a fair portion of it, but confessed her ignorance ^as ^o the remainder.

OIL him." ~ " "And 1 shall endeavor to assist you in your search for this Alexander Brand," said Charlie eagerly. "As it chanced I have some knowledge of the young chap. In truth, I have seen him face to face." "Here—in Antwerp?" eagerly. "In this city." "And you can take me to him? You will, Mr. Stuart?" laying a hand upon his arm. "If you so desire; but that will necessitate a long journey—across the sea, in fact." "Then he has returned to England?" "No; to America—New York.** "How very strangely it all came about!" she mused. "Almost incredible! Indeed, 1 should have been loth to believe such things could be possible if I had not gone through the experience myself." Everything had now been told, so that there was no more secrets. The rest of the ride was occupied in enjoying the features of the scenery, in so far as these points could be discovered from a vehicle. And CHarne's mind was made up ere they returned to the Hotel de la Paix that, God willing, he would, serve and win this peerless girl. The curiosity of Artemus had been whetted to a degree that demanded satisfaction, else his peace of mind was forever gone. He asked many questions regarding .Aleck. Evidently the young fellow had aroused the strongest interest In his mind, for he saw in him-the elements of a strong character that.must atern and one glance from her bewitching eyes charms them even as the rattlesnake does its prey." "Your advice is good. I had intended depending on my own ability to checkmate this old reprobate; and, on the whole, it may be best for me to keep my hand at the plow." "And HI stand-by; ready to give what aid I may. Don't hesitate to call on Artemus Barnaby if you are bent upon Borne dark and desperate business that stands for the right. You know I have some sort of a claim upon this affair, seeing that only for my pertinacity in dragging you on that wild goose chase in search of the new Man in the Iron Mask, of whom old wives in Antwerp gossip, you would never have gone there to the dungeons of the Steen, and ergo, would never have had the pleasure ol saving Lady Arline from her distressing position." The words of his companion aroused within Charlie a sense of the great debt he owed Artemus, who bad., been an instrument in the bands of Fate to bring about the result upon which his whole future now seemed to hinge. So he seized his hand and squeezed it with fraternal zeal—squeezed it until the owner was fain to appeal for mercy. "Yes, I owe you everything, my dear fellow; and if I can at any tm*e do you a favor, try me. There are few things I could refuse you." After that there was the fullest confidence between these two. Charlie . confided to Artemus his plans for routing the enemy, and was glad to adopt some very bright and sagacious ideas advanced by the latter. Everything seemed as usual. Yet fillet of beef, it only coats a franc if you take horse. The animal that was eaten the other day with such eclat had a singular history. It won several steeplechases At Auteuil and Boia-Colombes.

Keen-eyed man of the world that this great traveler was, he read the writing on the wall, and it plainly declared his reign had neared its end. Hence he detested Charlie with a venom such as could only be compared with the enraged cobra, seeking to bury its poisoned fangs in the object of its hatred. In brief, this* fine old plotter began to cast about him for some method by means of which he could get rid of Mr. Charlie Stuart, either temporarily or for all time. He was not alone in his scheming. Other harpies there were who hoped to share in the glorious plunder—men whose past lives no doubt could possibly show almost as great a variety of adventure and bold schemes as his own. Accordingly these precious worthies laid their heads together in order to devise some brilliant scheme whereby the obnoxious interloper—this young Lochinvar who had come out of the west—might be defeated ere he could carry the girl oft on his fleet steed. And when the conference was adjourned, it had all been arranged just how Charlie was to be dropped out of sight. However, these worthies in planning so neat a campaign failed to take into consideration several elements which had a positive bearing upon the ultimate outcome. There was the baron, for example. Besides—there was Artemus.

To apply water In small quantities through the drouthy season la to cause the roots in the ground to turn toward the surface and grow in that direction. Then when the watering is discontinued for any reason the roots dry out much more quickly than if they had not been watered at all. When water is applied to trees It should be in sufficient abundance to soak the ground to a depth of several feet The roots will then not turn up to get moisture. If it is necessary to apply but little water at a tlmo it should not be put on the surface of the ground. Dig a hole and put in a large piece of drain pipe so that the water being thrown into this pipe will soak deep into the ground. In case of not having a drain pipe or piece of tile, a hole can be made sufficiently deep to act as a reservoir. Let the water soak into the ground from this hole. The idea is to get the water to the roots from 3ome otter direction rather than from the surface of the ground. was large and 1 have put so many improvements on it since that I cannot dispose of it save rJ: a considerable ldvance—and even then should be unwilling to part with it except to a responsible person warranted to treat it with care."

From the Farmers' Review: I would say that according to my observation the house, or English, sparrow is increasing not only-tabu^ also-outsideof— the towns. It has become established in large colonies along the neighborhood in which I now live, and I have also made similar observations near Elmhurst, HI. It seems to limit its nestlhg to the neighborhood of ^rms, or at least to roadsides. I have not observed it in the fields or woods. It» food being chiefly derived from the road, it naturally prefers to keep near !t. A3 to its harmfulness to agriculture I should say that it is more indirect than direct It drives away more useful species of birds, not so much by direct opposition as by preoccupying the ground. Its food is composed of insects to but a snail degree. It 13 therefore virtually a useless bird to man. To eradicate It, however, seems to me to be an almost impossible feat. Bounties have proven worse than useless, as much money was expended by the state, and many of our useful sparrows were destroyed by mistake.—Ellen Drummond well, Lake county, Illinois.

Recently the entomologists of Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon met to formulate plans for suppressing the injurious insects that infest those states. It is probably the beginning of much co-operation in this matter. \ s It has been, the authorities in each state have been doing what they could under considerable difficulties. Thl* conference was called to enable the entomologists *to talk over their" various problems together. Doubtless this, nlone added nfuch to their ability to take effective measures against the insects. This is especially necessary in the case of such insect* a* the Codling moth, which has not yet got a firm foothold in the states earned. Without doubt all of our state* could ftnA much in common for suefcjjonferences.

S a c n r Lo«;is!«Uo».— The president has removed uncertalnty as to'his attitude on the Cuban ret me proposition by frankly telling the friends of reciprocity that he will veto any rebate bill that way bo passed. Wni. Aiden Smith, speaking for house Republican Insurgents, notified Senator Spooner to-duy that tr he's counting on his 20 per cent reciprocity bill passing the house without a provision for reducing the duty on refined sugar, he will be disappointed. He ussured Spooner that Republican house insurgents and Democrats are united as determinedly ns when they defeated tho ways and means- proposition. "Let the senate puss the house bill, snld Wm. Alden, "which makes reeiprocity contingent upon Cuba adoptlug our immigration aud coutract labor hfws. Cuba probably would not accept these laws, but in that case responsibility for there being no reciprocity would<be with tb^.jCuliaiisJheiuselves. That's the way we insurgents now view the matter." T b u r b e r ' s T e s t i m o n y . Beet sugar members of both branches of congress are in high glee over tho testimony of F. B. Thurber before the senate committee on Cuban affairs Wednesday, which they are sure establishes the fact that not only the sugar trust, but the^ Cuban government, by the authority of Gen. Wood, put up money to create a sentiment throughout the country in favor of reciprocity. There Is a saying that Thurber's unwilling testimony, as they call it, resulted in positively scandalous things. It would be the essence x>f gall,—so—they arc pimJ_aiin_Iu_si_J[or_ the administration to press reciprocity in the face of the showing. None are more jubilant than the Michigan delegation. Thurber is known as an agent of the sugar trust, and though several times notified to come to Washington and appear before the committee he did so only when threatened with arrest. BASE BALL.

The logic of this explanation appealed to the local vetefiharles7 s a d they agreed as to the cause of the jag Undoubtedly this explanation is the correct one, as the cows have been all right ever since.—New York Sun. —Fifteen fine Jersey cows—utr Whitney Point Stock Farm went on a disgraceful spree last Monday and almost frightened the men in charge of them out of their wits. For a long time no one knew just what was the matter with the cows, They went reeling across the fields like a lot of drunken soldiers, rolling their eyes, and every once in a while giving vent to the most hideous howls. Wben_ they got tired they either leaned against one another or against' the fences, and that was the way the men found them when they screwed up enough courage to go out in the field and~ investigate-; A hurpy call was sent1 to Binghamton for a veterinary, because there was such unmistakable signs of suffering on the part of the cows that the men thought they were poisoned. When the veterinary took a look at the cows he was puzzled. They were glassy-eyed aud tired. Those that had fallen asleep, were, sleeping so soundly that they couldn't be waked up even with a pitchfork. The local veterinaries were called in to assist the man from Binghamton, and th3 three sat up with the cows all night long. The next morning the cows appeared to be all right. True, most of them looked a trifle ashamed, but on the whole they seemed in fair shape and quite ready to go back to eating grass and making milk.

BEAT REDSKIN GAMBLER ? / t H o w «L W h i t e M a n ' s L u c k y D r a w La.id O u t C h a m p i o n A ^ Indiein P l a y e r . ^ "There may be citizens in Deadwood who remember Buck Joseph," said the man with the taper Augers as he permitted a smile to lurk around the corners of his mouth. "Buck was a fullfledged Sioux Indian, but he had learned a thing or two in his time. One of 'em was how to play poker, and another was how to hold the best hand. He was early on the ground at Deadwood and he was a winner from the start. "There were some pretty slick gamblers hanging out there in the old day3. They believed a good deal in luck, but a good deal more in fingering the card3. None of them had Buck Joseph's sleight-'Of-hand, however. They tried him on time and again, and they worked all the arts known to the profession, but he was still ahead of the game. As a last resort they sent over to Abilene, Kan. for me. I'm not going to say what I was doing over there, but the boys who knew me best were ready to bet 2 to 1 that I downed Buck at his own game. "When I reached Deadwood," continued the narrator, "I Lad $800 in cash with me. Old Lo came up smiling with an equal amount and we sat down for an all-day tea party. I started out as square as a dot, depending on luck alone, and I had lost $500 before I made a change. Then I went in for nothing less than flushes, and inside of an hour I got my money back. Buck knew I was beating him at his own game, and he laid for me. On one of his deals he got four aces and I knew it. I got king, queen and jack of diamonds, and it was $20 to come in. "I drew a long breath and chipped and drew two cards to his one. My heart thumped as I found a ten and nine of diamonds in my hand—a straight flush. Of course, Buck knew there was only one hand higher than his, and he came for me with bets of $50. He had friends to borrow from and so had I, and when he finally called me we had $4,000 in cash on the table, and he had three ponies two squaws and five papooses up against my watch and pin. He was getting ready to yell when I showed my hand. His yell died away, and he sat there like a stone man for five long minutes. Then he slowly rose up, gathered his blanket around him, and as he walked out of the place he said: "'Humph! Heap smart white man! Heap ass Injun!' " Beautiful St. Pierre ilk SOME IMPRESSIONS OF AN OBSERVING VISITOR. MADE A B E F O R E THE RECENT CATACLYSM. t i %¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥* tic. All through the city there seemed to be an air of gayety and abandon. "St. Pierre was located in a small indenture in the shore line and its houses were queer affairs which seemed like a lot of fancy blocks piled up against the side of the mountain. Many of the houses were whitewashed or painted some very light color. They were all short buildings of quaint French architecture. Nobody worked in St. Pierro any more than was .necessary. There were music and dancing everywhere, and the immorality of the city will probably lead many people to suggest that judgment haa been brought down upon the ill-fated city." —Washington P o s t "St. Pierre was one of the most picturesque little cities in the world. I spent a few hours there once and shall never forget the gay appearance it presented," said Capt. John A. Hassell of New York yesterday at the St. Jame3 Hotel. "The women of St. Pierre dressed more gayly than in any other part of the world I ever visited. They wore many colors, and, strangely enough, combined them quite harmoniously. "There was practically no harbor at St. Pierre, and the ships anchored a short distance out at sea. As soon as our vessel came within hailing distance of St. Pierre a number of small boats would set out from shore. They were filled with women dressed in gaudy colors and carrying fruits, which they offered to the passengers. I remember that many of the women had cocoanuts from which the ends had been removed. Part of the milk had been poureu from the fruit and replaced by rum. Cocoanuts prepared in that way are quite delicious and in great demand with travelers. "Few of the people in St. Pierre were pure black. The negroes who were originally in the island, the Malays who were brought there to serve as slaves, and the French and other white people who located there, intermarried so freely that most of the inhabitants showed only a trace of the negro blood. The women "were quite dark, but had good features, and many of them were quite handsome. Their cTothlttg wafc *tery trnUsual. On their heads they wore scarfs of bright colors and their gowns were very fanUs- P»n»m« Bats to B« Popular. The Panama hat is to be the thing, and a man who wears a rough straw hat cannot hope for recognition. Moreover, colored hat bands are no longer In favor. An exception in favor of college men wearing colored, hat bauds is made. The cut of clothes has not changed much from the styles of last summer. Tan and russet shoes will not be popular because they are too cheap. They may be tolerated in the country, but not in the city. The black boot is the thing,—New York Sua. Purity opens.the way to a world of gladness. Marriage is often a failure because neither of the interested parties has sense enough to take an occasional vacation. «*? ^MtitoiUm+m i iiiikL i i i ^ y ^ ^ ^ i ' ^ j ' i t o i i j j i !

Charlie bowed politely. The count e t s gave him a look of curiosity and one .of her ravishing smiles. So she passed out of his life—lucky man,' The sight of Charlie recalled to the baron's mind the promise he had made with regard to Capt. Brand. Accordingly ha took advantage of his £ r s t hour off to set the wlrea in motion, and learn certain facts ragarding the worthy- captain: Charlie, relying on the baron to corral the captain, had made arrangements for sailing upon the next trans- Atlahtic steamer. He had engaged passage for Arline, her companion, Artemus and himself. The captain, having patd^a- nran"ta keep upen Stuart's track, found out what was in the wind. He teamed that the crisis had arrived. Whatever he proposed doing must be put through with all possible speed, since* ere, many hours elapseji, t h o s i against whcitf his so%e$aefc v^sre directed would be upon the sea, and, mayhap, beyenfrhrs reach'.* f ' «•' Artemus had heard enouih to know the three schemers were planning to do his friend an evil turn, but, strain his cars a3 he*would, he had netbe3u ablp to catch the* particulars of the gained owing to certain sounds in the hotel that muffled even the held voices of Captain Brand's champagne-bibbing friends. All he could do was to warn Stuart en general principles, and it can be set down as an assured fact that he carried cut this dramatic little episode quits to the queen's ta3te. It would not have been Artemus otherwise. Charlie promised to keei) his wor.ther eye open for squalls. He hoped his early departure from Antwerp would serve to entirely disconceit the beggarly plans of his enemies, and leave the fellow in th* lurch. About this time there was considerable hustling being done among the various forces circling around Arline 13rand, just as the planets whirl about their central sun. The baron tried to drive from his mind the startling phantoms that had been conjured into being by the mysterious power -of Isolde, Countess of Brabant, and, as this could only be done by means -of work, he gave himself up t o t h e mission of the hour with redoubled zeal. It was really a question what the scramble would result in—whether Charlie or t h e redoubtable captain would come out of it in creditable shape, and how Artemus mi-ghi fare in the shuffle. Lady Arline "had an interview with lier alleged papa, during which she announced her determination of crossing the Atlantic on business, and that she had provided liberally for him during her absence, as he would find upon applying in person t o her "banker in London. The 'interview was possibly net devoid of dramatic features. Artemus was on guard near by, and heard the old sea dog blustering more or less in his usual way. But he had evidently lost much of the power he formerly possessed over "Lady Arline. He came forth from the rooms looking Uka? an « 1 raged hyena, because 'diplomacy bad forced him l o bottle up ;hta wrath. TO Artemus Charlie delegated the ta6k of seeing Lady Arline and her xnaid aboard t h e ocean greyhound, where ho would jofrn theao later. It' was urgfet again. Time and tide watt for no man, and ocean steamers fcav« t o putt out very frequently a t unreasonable hours, in order to cross t h e bar on the flood. The baron and Csfrtain Brand played a s a m e of cros*-Tmrpx>se8, as lit were, tor, while the ex-sailor shadowed Charlie with' intensions that were both dark a a c desperate, he was, at the same Una, under the surveillance of Peterboff* s emissary—the baron himself being too busily employed catering to the comfort of his fair prisoner—In reality his captor-—to personally Inject bis Individuality into the game. Captain Brand knew he was followed; and perhaps could give a rough ( n e t s a s to the why and wherefore. But it w u not his nature to be despondent He believed in utlirlng whatever came in h i t way a* one of t h e forces Caat might bring ssjecass. , Wften a man can thus twist threatening diaaatert Into fafpring factors placency—for at his side would be Lady Arline; and left behind as a memory of the dead past, such persons as the professor and his wife, Baron Peterhoff, Isolde, Countess Brabant, and Captain Brand of the Hespasia. He Intended giving Capt. Brand the full worth of his money^ and then, by a fluke, dropping him in some section of old Antwerp, while he himself took a fly and drove to the landing stage in time to catch the steamer. Perhaps this might have been carried out had circumstances not united to arrange events in the captain's favor. Charlie had his fun. He dragged his persistent pursuer ever a good part of Antwerp—now they were on foot and anon chasing in vehicles at a pace to set the staid old burghers agog with surprise and consternation. Outside a dsslre to have a little spcrt with his friend, the captain, his sole purpose in leading Brand this wild-geese chase was to keep his attention upon himself, while Lady Arline and Arteniu3 left the hotel; for somehow Charlie had a vague fear lest the resourceful ex-sailor might use L.force to prevent his supposed daughter frcm departing, advancing some daring pica that har mind was affected and having hired experts, who would perhaps decree that she should be incarcerated in an asylum. These things might appsar ridicu- 4 loii3, but such happenings have coma to pass ere new, and he chanced to | have p?"*Gsal knowledge cf at least ere similar case. Whether or not Charlie were foolisli i in thug1 conjuring up phantoms that cculd net e:;ist, was a question that should net be decided hastily. He believed Brand to be a desperate man. against whom he could as yet hardly appeal to the law, since Arline would net give her consent. He was convinced that Brand did net desire the heiress to get beyond his reach, and would hardly hesitate at any end in order to hold her until his sinister plans could b2 worked out. Hence it was. after all, in a spirit of self-sacrifice that Charlie undertook to have a little fun with Capt. Brand, and led him this fine chase up and down the crook ad streets of Antwerp All would have been well but lor two cronies of Brand. They chanced to be standing at a dark corner where the ether had agreed to meet th?m. and. hearing bis signals, sprang upon Charlie ere he comprehended his danger. As a result he was struck senseless by a blow from some blunt weapon. When Capt. Brand arrived en the scene his first act was to sprinkle a powdery white pigment in the young man's hair, to give him the appear ance of age, and to smear his face with a little street dirt in order to disguise his features. Then, for the benefit of the man whem he knew hovered near by, a little one-act drama was carried out, the two men chasing Brand hither and yen—then, ae the baron's spy came in sight, two men running away, while a form lay on the street. It worked like" a charm. The emissary of Barcn Peterhoff hastened up as people began to open the windows of houses to learn what the disturbance mifrht mean. There he found one who appeared to be the eld fellow he had been set to watch. The man called a vehicle, placed the limp figure in its interior, entered himself, and then started to report t h e ' astonishing result of his espionage to Baron Peterhoff himself. While Capt. Brand, rejoining his confreres down the shady street. se( off in hot haste to get aboard the steamer, which, in another hour or so. would be moving down the River Sheldt, bound for the far-off distant shores of America. Artemus stood on the hurricane deck of the great Red D ocsan liner and looked back in the morning sunlight to the distant and fast-receding coast of Belgium. Homeward bound! There is always a pleasure In this thought and Artemus experienced it with enthusiasm. So far as he knew, Charlie's plans had progressed all right, the ogre was left behind, lamenting in the land of the Belgians, and clear sailing seemed ahead. Then his thoughts ran back to the events of the previous night He chuckled to remember the adroitness with which he had seen Lady Arline, her companion and their luggage on board the waiting steamer, while Charlie was leading the ogre a wild-goose chase around Antwerp, partly to amuse himself and a t the same time keep Brand occupied up to near the sailing time. By t h e way, where was Charlie? It was strange that he failed to show up in time to see ths test of Belgium's shores. Lady Arline and he? companion ware.walking- thfl dark with jersey and golf cape to keep oft the stinging chill. "Ill go and arouse t h e sluggard," said Artemus to himself. "His little jaunt about town must have worn him out—not the first case of its kind, I rather guess/' with a sinister lear at his w i t —So he went below. The door of Charlie's stateroom was just opposite his own—a single step across the little passage. As he approached he heard tin sounds of loud snoring from within. On the spur of the moment he decided to arouse his friend with a sudden shout, or by the advent of a convenient shoe tossed across the little room. Artemus had never wholly outgrown his college days, .when he gained the reputation of being the champion practical joker of his class So he quietly opened the door, which was conveniently unlocked. Through the bull's-eye windows enough of the morning light crept to allow a fair survey of the miniature apartment. One.of ths first things Artemus saw was a shoe that had been tossed aside. As he seized upon it eagerly, he failed to note its generous proportions as contrasted with the neat footgear which Charlie Stuart affected—such trifles do not impress themselves upon the mind when weightier things arc demanding recognition. Now for a center shot. He turned his attention to the lower berth, which was occupied by a human form. Just then the nasal sounds came tp a sudden step with a savage snort, and the sleeper whirled over on his side. Th3 act brought his face directly within range of the morning light that struggled thrcugh the small openings bey cud. No wender Artemus crouched there ~.s if frozen. • - Talk about the magic touch of the geni! . When had such a wonderful transformation ever taken place before? For cue to retire as Prince Charlie Stuart, gay, handsome and debonair, to awaken in the guise of grim and grizzled eld Captain Brand was a mystery that almost paralyzed the seeker after sensations. Artemus took cne last fearsome look at the smooth and red physiognomy of the sleeper, passed out, and then softly closed the door. Only when safe within his own room did he give vent to his over-wrought feelings in a whistle. "Great Jupiter! That beats everything I ever saw. Instead of Charlie —the ogre! What does it mean? There is treachery afloat. I seem to detect it in th? very air around. But the question arises, where is Charlie? And shall I have to take his place as her warrior bold, and will it be necessary for me to give up my liberty?'' Poor fellow! He did net know whether to look on it as a huge joke oV a grim reality. He thought of warning Arline; she ought to know her dear papa was oh beard, and that he had refused to break the paternal bonds that had be come so very strong since his return frcm exile. Artemus buckled on his armor. If he was to be pitted against the old ogre, it would be a pretty fight. Capt. Brand might have succeeded in outwitting Charlie, who was tco frank for deep diplomacy, but he would find it quite ancther thing when he ran up against the new knight who had shied his caster into the ring. ... Ah! A sentle tap at the dcor. Artemus almost fell over himself in his eagerness to open a satchel and clutch a little affair cf steel and nickel which he carried there, and armec* with which he called: , "Ccrae!" f The door opened and a figure whisked in, immadiately closing the same again. Artemus gave a cry—the half-raised arm fell useless at his side. There was more witchery. He had expected the old ogre, armed with a shoe, and bent upon turning the tables upon him. Instead he saw—why, Charlie, of course, though at first Artemus reckoned it his ghost! Charlie, with a finger pressed mysteriously on his lips, a la Artemus' favorite style of' communicating a secret, and his face wreathed in what appeared to be a broad grin. At any rate, Barnaby was delighted to see him in the flesh, and as soon as he could get his wits into thinking order he dropped the weapon and held oat an eager band. "This is a treat, my dear boy—after seeing that grim old Trojan in your bunk. What have ycu done? Brought him aboard a prisoner. I reckon? Ah! I didn't give you enough credit, I fear. You see, my first impression was he had outwitted you and turned the tables on you." Artemus was boiling over with curiosity regarding what had taken place ashore* especially when his friend declared, with a wry face, that Capt Brand had indeed come near proving too much for him. The story was seen told. (To be continued.) \ Fot the' Bleb Oaly. ~~TJmU" and "Aunt Melcfcer wi town $o Iny, a .new clock.

First, a Boston school teacher going each day from home in one of the beautiful suburbs to her school in the heart of the ciy, felt a longing to carry some of the tfeauty and freshness of the green world into the stifled lives about her, so she passed through the streets with her arms filled with flowers which she gave to those about her.

A poor man is tempted to borrow money from funds he is bandling, belonging to another, feeling sure he can repay tbe loan next pay day, but he is found out, arrested, convicted, sentenced, in a few short weeks, all because be has no money back of him, or moneyed friends. His wife and children are left to secure the necessities of life in any way she is able. Perhaps she is competed to separate her family that she may be free to clothe and feed herself and clothe her little ones. Many times she must Leglect her children when disease enters her home and she must bear the burden of both sorrow and poverty alone. Then, too, how black are the pages of our dailies in lengthy articles of printed mattei of the rich borrower. For a short time his mental nature is disturbed, because he has been found out, then he comes forth from the darkness which for a few days has, surrounded him, a free being and the journals are proud to slap him on the back and call him a shrewd man. H e g o e s about a m o n g h i s friends ( w h o perhaps have not been found out y e t ) as a lion i n broad cloth and $25.00 hats. H e has n o n e e d to g o hungry a s h e has thousands of dollars income^ H i s wife and ch ildren are clothed in th e best silks and satins to be procured, and are cradled in the lap of luxury.

' Stcry of AUfl, Instrumental In Breaking Up "Knights of the Q16oKld en— C ircle."- 1 t++++~+++++++j+f+++±+- %*AAi • ^ • • - ^ For a third of a century an exile *from his hodfe In Kentucky, through fear of an avenging hand, Felix G. Stidger found mercy at the hands of Judge Kohlsaat at Chicago because of the part he took in breaking up the famous "Knlgftta of the Golden Circle" during the ctVir-war, tntis ; doing the country ah tnvalufcble service. The defendant had pleaded guilty to indictment for writing improper letters to persona in CvawforAsville and Goshen, Ind., and was awaiting son* tence. "This man rendered good service to the cause of the union at a critical time," said District Attorney Bethea, and on this recommendation th8 court suspended a fine which he had imposed. Stidger's service in the war of the rebellion is a part of history. His name is enrolled among the government secret service agents who were detailed in 1864 to learn the plans of this notable organization of southern sympathizers. Stidger says he was followed for two years by a hired assassin, Bob Spruce, and that his life would be in peril if he were to go to Kentucky, his former home, aB surviving members of the "Golden Circle" would kill him. " I served in the United States army from.Oct. 8, 1862, to Feb. 14, 1864," said Stidger, "when I was honorably discharged on a surgeon's certificate of disability, having taken part in the battles of Chaplin Hills, Ky., Stone River and Chickamauga, Lookout; Mountain and Missionary Ridge. May 6, 1864, I was employed by the provost = EMBARRASSED Trt£- CLERGYMAN marshal general of the district of Kentucky, United States army, to learn the designs of the 'Knights of the Golden Circle,' of which Clement Vallan* digham of Ohio, then residing in Canada, was supreme head. \ became grand secretary of the order for the state of Kentucky. The officials revealed to me the exact details of the proposed assembling of members of the order Aug. 16, 1364, for the^purpose of liberating rebel prisoners at Indianapolis, Chicago, Rock Island, Johnson's Island and Louisville. "The plan was also to seize the government arsenals, arm the rebel prisoners, and, together with the members of this organization, put forward a force of 75,000 armed and drilled men for the rebel army in August, 1864. Your own Judgment will tell you that this would have prolonged the civil war at least two years, and added to the cost in treasure and lives. *'I was the Only man to whom the active head of the order in ths United States revealed the plans in detail. To others he gave the detailed instructions in regard to their individual parts. Every move contemplated by the traitors I reported fully to the commandingofficer ofthe UnitedStates force? in Louisville and to Gen. Carrington and Gov. Morton in Indianapolis daily—often hourly. In this service Secretary of War Stanton in an official communication stated that my help had been worth as much to him as any battle that had bean fought during the war." J»i»Ut»r»i MakMhiri AH Btght Cutll ta« Maid Appa»f#4, A distir?guisnpd .Episcopal clergyman was oace called on to* officiate at a fashionable summer resort church, and, finding only a short surplice and no cassock in the vestry, was very much disturbed at tho thought of faav* j= 3NAKE B&OKE UP PICNIC I ing to appear in a vesture that to tho frivolous would look like, a white shirt and trousers. But a happy inspiration came to him. Why not wear one of his wife's black petticoats? The portion that would show below the surplice would look exactly like the regulation cassock, and no one. would ever be the wiser* So he hurriedly sent one of the ushers with an explanatory note to his wife in the hotel, and in the nick of time the petticoat arrived. The makeshift turned out to be a per* feet success, and no one at a distance could tell that he was not wearing a cassock. After the close of the service he decided to go out to the body of the church without taking off his robes, in order to greet some friends. And he was soon the center of a group of fashionable women, when a green Irish maid from the hotel came up, and in a loud voice said to him: "Yer Riverence, the missus slnt me afther her petticoat that ye do be wearln', an' I wus to wait till ye take l#t off.'*—New York Tribune. tier L»v«| B*a4V / MQt W9r*9," he ss 14 to an offhand way, "it goea without saying that a beautiful girl like you must have- had many pffer* of marriage.* ] v tShe blpshed (prettily, and her eyes seemed' to tay "Of course," but she did not answer otherwise.

Mo., Girls. A horrid snako broke up a picnic that was given near Macon, Mo., a few days ago by the Bachelor Maidens' club of Macon county. It was not a real snake either. That was the worst part of it. The reptile was one of the mechanical kind that qsulrm and twist in a manner that would put a real snake to shame. The bachelor maidens might have overlooked th% Jotte and even laughed at it, but for one terrible circumstance —the whole thing was a.plot put up by a photographer. This same came: a artist is charged with having, with malice prepense^ arranged the toy snake so that it would scare tre maidens in order that he might get a snap shot of them while they were having hysterics. . _.v It was during one of the sqsby days of last week that the bachelornialdens decided to execute a long cherished ambition. The director general Issued a call for a spring picnic, and fifteen members of the club responded. Eacn member brought a basket of provisions or something needful. While the women were unpacking luncheons near a stream they discovered something that caused them to shiver with horror. Across the creek was a big, rude man in a flannel shirt and with a disgusting pipe in his mouth. He had a package under his arm. They told him to "scat" and he grinned and moved on. Then the work of unpacking was resumed. The Bachelorissimo labored earnestly with a huge jar which was supposed to contain ginger. Finally she loosened the lid, but just as she was removing it a big snake jumped out and ffopped out among the viands, sizzling and hissing like an engine. The bachelor maidens tore off yard upon yard of agonizing shrieks, and their cries brought the rude man upon the scene. He picked up the snake and then guffawed. "Why, it ain't real, at all," he said. "Very well, then," snapped the Bachelorissimo, "you may go about your business." The man left, but after he had departed one of the maidens found a card bearing the name of a photographer, and they are positive he had the snake put in the jar and took a picture of them when it jumped out. They are now looking with nervous apprehension for a picture illustrating the clubs first outing. > — — 1 — 9 — % 9 — • DOQS LIKE THEIR MASTERS 1 Association Causes the Brute to Imitate the Human Being 9 Who Owns It. One of the most curious traits to be found in the animal nature, said an observant citizen, is that which grows out of tho unconscious imitativenc :s of creatures of * the lower order. I have observed many instances of where the creatures of a lower order have taken on the; characteristics in some noticeable degree of members of the human faintly. "One might know, foMsPtance, 'Are- beggar's Tiog, just from the look of. the^dog^ from the droopjp* flie eyerie t # ; paretic hang, of tSre Mpi and I certalrJi-general air nOfc. despondency and hopelessness which seem to speak in the very nature of the animal. 1 mention the beggar's dog because it is a familiar example. The beggar* dog never IOOKS cheerful, never smiles, nor frolics, but simply aits 'l$r »hif master and. broods, and begs f » | j 4 ^ y e r . chadtft may give. I have seen the dog character molded under happier Influences and the dog become more cheerful. He was a light-hearted, free-and-easy sort of creature and seemed to get something of toe sunnier side of things. I am almost te4»fitedJto .say that if you will show mo a man's dog I will ieU~ you what manner of•man'the owner if, with particular reference to temperament and his moods. The melancholy man, the man who grovels mentally along the gloomier grooves; the pessimistic man, who Is always looking at the dark tide of the picture, all the men who come within these unhappy classifications rarely own a cheerful dog. The dog unconsciously takes to the ways of his master, and in his moods Imitates the master's way of thinking. But turn to the dog of the jolly, cheerful fellow. Watch him show his teeth in laughter when the master approaches. He is darting across the yard ana dancing and frisking around the master's feet in the happiest way imaginable, but he 13 up to all kinds of pranks and does all kinds of little things to indicate the good nature that is in him. He does as his master does and seems to take the same general view of life. These are small things, I guess, but they snow just how important one's actions are in life. Even one's way of thinking may influence one's dog and change his whole view of life. Couldn't Straighten Up. Breed, Wis., June 16th.—Charles F. Peterson of this place, Justice of the Peace for OcontoCounty, tells the following story: "For years I had an aching pain In my back which troubled me very much especially in the morning. "I was almost unable to straighten ray back and the pain was unbearable. "I did not know what it was, but seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills I concluded to try a box. "I can only say that that one box alone has done me more good than anything else ever did. "I feel as well now as^ever I was. "I have recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to several others, who are using them with good results." Mr. Peterson is a highly respected man and one who would not so positively make a statement unless it was absolutely true. Ifapolaon Bonaparte** Wealth. Napoleon Bonaparte's will, among those of great men, affords the nearest parallel to that of Cecil Rhodes in the fortune it bequeathed. He was surely the richest exile since the world began. From his lonely home at St Helena he bequeathed to his relatives and friends $40,000,000. He had been rich, in gold as in power, beyond the dreams of avarice, and there must have passed through his hands a private fortune such as mortal man has rarely dreamed of. His exactions set down at nearly $375,000,000, which is, after all, but six times multiplying the gift he secured for himself from the Austrian treasury after Austerlitz. He died forty times a millionaire. 335^, •**._: C0M8RESSMAH IffffXTWO. sss. "»'Hf. Says Pe-rwri It a SpIeidM ftiurbal Tonic. . ^ A M * * * * * * a *<fc*a»\ i- Congressman T. T. Fitzpatriek. Hon.

With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor aud strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every objectionable quality or substance.

The expansionists carried everything wanted at the big Maccabee in Marquette the past The Barometer Trees of Chileo. One of the most remarkable productions of the Isles of Chileo Is the celebrated "bnrometer tree," which grows In great profusion In all of the salt marshes. It belongs to the naturrl order euphorbiaceee, and is believed to b<- a near relative of SIphonia elastica, tbr» India rubber tree of Brazil. The wonderful traits of this tree were first made known to white men in 1881, the natives informing the De Young company that both the leaves and the bark of the trees were never failing weather prognostiuators.. In dry weather thtr%arte of this natural barometer is as smooth and white as that of a sycamore, but with the near approach of storms these characteristics vanish like magic. Twenty-four hours before a storm breaks over the little Island the trunk of every tree of the species turns ns black as ebony, save a few scattered patches of carmine, these latter markings being supposed to foretell great electrical disturbance. The leaves, too, which in their normal state hang laterally (as they do on all American trees), drop edgewise and tremble like things endowed with animal life and reason. A Queer Animal of Maiavucar. One of the most peculiar members of the great family of the mammals Is the aye-aye of Madagascar. In form it much resembles a squirrel, in size it is equal to a large cat, and it is so shy, stealthy and ghostlilefe in its movements that the natives think it is a kind of spirit and regard it w-ith superstitious dread. It is related to the lemurs, but it differs from them in many points. Its most remarkable peculiarity consists in the middle finger of its hands, which, instead of resembling the others, is, as Mr. Richard Lydekker says, "extremely thin and spiderlike." Living in the silent forests, the aye-aye possesses extraordinary acuteness of hearing and apparently can locate by" the sounds It makes in the trunks of trees the wood boring larva) on~whicn it feeds; ChTs^~ eling away the wood with Its teeth, the aye-aye inserts its remarkable middle finger to fork out its victims. week.

We know that in Shakespenre,'s day, say A. D. 1GQ0,. sixpence a day was a fortune for nny workingman, say the equivalent of £10 per annum. A century earlier, boforo the access to America was open to English explorers, one of th» Arck'iis of Warwickshire left an annuity of 40 shillings per annum to a younger son, probably the poet's greatgrandunclo. Then if sixpence a day would now be the equivalent of 20: shillings a week then 40 shillings per) annum would equate to £120 of present values.—Notes and Queries. ^WkenrYourWm 4 4 * 4 Is Ready Your Feet Are Light."

A SOLOMON ON T H E BENCH. Novel Reasons a Philadelphia Judge Has for Extending Clemency. Magistrate Cuningham of the central police court of Philadelphia is sometimes a little eccentric in the punishment of those hauled before him for misdemeanors. The other day Bill Jones, who had been found upon the public highway minus the faculty of navigation, was arraigned before him. "Married or single?" asked the magistrate. "Single, sir," replied the shaking culprit. "You ought to get married. If you had a wife and family to occupy your attention you would have no desire to drink," said the magistrate. "I'll discharge you, but I hope you'll give to matrimony more thought than you have to liquor." John Smith, who had also been arrested for being intoxicated, was next called. "Married or single, John?" queried the magistrate. "Married, your honor," was the prisoner's reply. "Then you have no business getting drunk. Drinking should be done by single men who have no family to require their attention and cash. You all this talk about the need of free art In the United States?

It may be the hobo doesn't know whether it is four nails or four tent stakes he is to drive, but he confidently answers, "Sure thing! Had a job driving four last month at —," (any one of the ten thousand places he has been to, so he can answer questions if the boss is inclined to put them), and the next morning, finding the "four" he is to drive are horses, he confidentially approaches a fellow-employe with, "Say, Bud, show me how to put the harness on the plugs, will you?" Asked If he knew how to make watches or dynamite cartridges he would doubtless say he did; he might fail at either, but he would not weakly deny himself an opportunity to try.

Ryan, the capitalist, when engaged in any engrossing conversation, has a habit of tearing sheets of paper Into small pieces. A few days ago a reporter noticed Mr. Ryan slow ly covering the floor with scraps of paper from a pad on his desk, while he talked on financial affairs. Secretly the reporter removed the pad, and, when Mr. Ryan had dropped the last scrap out oi his hand, there was a sudden break in the thread of his conversation. His hand had begun to search for the pad, much to the detriment of his wits. He halted continually in making his statement, and was not able to finish the interview to his satisfaction until the reporter slipped tte paper back to its usual place. It was immediately pounced upon by Mr. Ryan's wandering fingers, says the New York Times, and the halting conversation went on uninterruptedly to a successful ending. Knew What Chaos Meant.

(Copyright, 19Q2, by Daily Slots rub. Co.) Paul Marnok, who loved Claudia Vanaleter, was a young lawyer of Bmlthrflle, Smith county, Iowa. Liko other young lawyers, he wore bis hair something longer than fashion demanded, brushed it straight back to •sow his forehead, practiced oraiory_&_ good deal and had dreams of the United States Congress, Ho was of good habits and in good practice, though with an inborn tendency to be erratic, and felt himself well at 1^ to marry. James Bowen, who loved Claudia Vanalster, was commonly called* "Jim," which is to say that he was freckled, sturdy, straightforward and good-humored. He^owned his lather's farm, ran It on too diversified cropn system, loved animal^ drove a good horse and had money in the bask. Very open and unwtly was "Jim." Ho did not-expect to T;ln_thc girl, toat .wcood btrin hit own earnest fashion and if .she preferred another he was prepared to wish her joy and get over his trouble in the best way he could. Claudia Vanalster, who loved neither of them—or, if she did, knew nothing about it—was daughter of aTmerchant, gray-eyed, peach-cheeked: plump, graceful, pretty, good, and fond of admiration. She was a graduate of the Bnosvllle Young Ladies' Seminary, played the piano a little, painted a little, knew a little needlework, spoke French with the Enosville accent and was quite the county belle. So "Jim" Bowen asked her bashfully if be might drive her to the Fourth of July speechmaking and picnic in Jack- Bon's grove, and she said no, while Marrock. who was chief orator of tho day, girded up his loins and strove mightily, being determined to shake down the stars. The elders of Smith county celebrated the Fourth of July in the old-fashioned way. Patriotism was as ram- --paat-out thero as it_hadbeen in the older sections of the country fifty years before. They had no use for new-fangled methods of rejoicing. What their fathers had believed was good enough for them. They appointed a regular committee to see that the thing was properly done. Thus It happened that in Jackson's grove a large lumber s..and was erected on which the elders might sit, the county trustees, the village trustees, the school trustees, the county judge, the clerk of the court, the schoolmaster and so forth. Item—there was a smaller stand for the Smlthville band, which was strong and earnest, though a little crude. Item—an open space in the front of the big stand reserved for the readers and speakers. Item—a larger stand to the right, reserved for t i e young ladies who should impersonate the States. Item—a large space on the ground to one side reserved for the fire-crr.ckers.catharine wheels and what not. Long rough beards laid on trestles served as tables for the diners. There was any quantity of spring vvater, ginger pop and coffee as potables, but no whisky nor beer. Smithvlllc was a moral community. It was a eIoudles3 nay. A thousand people were In the grove. From far down the dirt road came the oompah, oom-pah.of. the laboring band. As it grew nearer an occasional bar of "The Star-Spangled Baunor" became audible. Behind it rode the dignitaries in open carriages, most of them with grizzled whiskers,. ..showing the yellowish stains of tobacco-juice. Back of them came the principal feature of the procession, three farm wagons metamorphosed into triumphal chariots by the aid of red, whke and blue calico aud flowers and filled with forty-four gaily dressed.young women Impersonating the commonwealths of this glorious Union. They were flushed with the ride arid in more than one instance their rtiadems nad been jarred crooked, but were happy and proud. In their front was Claudia in a gown cut a la Greek, holding a sceptre and wearing a pasteboard crown golden gilt and bearirg a papier-mache shield. She was "Columbia." Behind the wagons at a slow pace came the faithful James in his buggy. The grove reeched, the band climbed to its stand, tao dignitaries to the center platform, the girls to their platform. Tho band's leader puffed out his chest, faced the gaping crowd, swung his baton and the instruments crashed into "My Country, *Tis of Thee," half a tone flat.' The people plunged into the tune haif a tone sharp. Tne trees trembled, but did not fall. The folks liked their singing so much that-lhev. encored, tue. band and T rf-n^Jiat.

EJlphalet Absolorn Rawlins, county judge, rose to introduce the orator of the day, and spoke for three-quarters of an hour, touching xrpon Bunker H..I and the state ol the crops, tossing a handful of bouquets tto Geo ego Washington and Thojna* Jefferson, devoting five minutes of thunderous denunciation to Benedict Arnold and winding up with a glorious burst over tho result of the Spanish war. Marrok rau his fingers through his hair and glared at him. Finally he got his chance. Now this young man in the seclusion of his law office had been reading a lot of cheap literature and worrying himself by thinking that he was thinking. The result was that his skull had become filled with a lot of thlrge that he thought were ideas and he felt called upon to express <hem. Once started he did not reek ct unpopularity and forgot all about the girl. His talk was fiery, fluent, occasionally eloquent. When he got out of breath be ran his hand through his hair and took a drink of water from a small white pitcher that stood near. ' He said that they had sold their birthright for a mess of pottage; that the Money Devil had them by the throats; that the rich were getting richer .and the poor poorer; that their legislators were bought; that discontent gnawed at the vitals of the land; that a conscienceless aristocracy of wealth had grown tip; that republican simplicity was at a discount; whither were they drifting? They were drifting to revolution. What would be its end? Possibly a king; possibly anarchy; certainly bloodshed, death and woe. There was a large amount of this.- The talk would not have been out of place tn some obscure beer hall in a big d t y . Out there in the country, with green leaves waving, the scent of flowers on the air and an honest country population listening, it sounded horribly incongruous. The people heard it quietly. Probably they did not understand more than half of it, Marrok sat down. 4n dead silence, sweaty, pale and gasping. Claudia sat with hands clasped in her lap, looking down, heartily ashamed. "Jim" Bowen, near the stand, his face white with passion, followed the sentences carefully. He, too, had forgotten the girl. He knew that tils every sentiment had been outraged. Next to his belief in God was his belief in the flag which floated over him. Scarce knowing what he did, he rah to the platform steps, mounted them in leaps and showeu before the people, his wide white hat in his ri^ht hand. He did not know until he faced them what he should say, but was determined to say something. He said, 'vithout heat and clearly, almost wltU solemity: "My friends—You know me. I'm just one of you. I want to sj)eak for you more than for myself. I want to say for you that this man here is a liar, or crazy. I think he is crazy. We are seventy-five millions of people. We believe in our past, present and future. We honor our lathers for what they have done; we stand ready to do the san:c if occasion should arise. In pestilence, privation, war and death we have erected the greatest government under the sun, in the best land under the sun, and that government shall stand as an example to mankind for ages. That flag," and he raised his hat high, "for more than a hundred years nas been tho symbol of all that is great and good; it is so to-day. Look at it while we sing that it shall forever wave o'er the land of ihc free and the home of the brave." The tnousand voices crashed out in the true national hymn. Marrok slunk away crushed and wondering. Tho county judge rose to make another speech, but they would not listen to him. They sang It all over again. "Columbia," her eyes and nose red from tears and a damp handkerchief in her haiul, came to "Jim" and looked at him timidly. "Oh, j'ira!" che said. "That was brave; that was noble! Oh,' Jim!" Thus "Jim" Bowen, farmer and American, knew that he had done well. Roosevelt and the Detectives. "Secretary Cortelyou and the secret service officials arrange all kindt of plans to prevent President Roosevelt exposing himself in public too much." said a White House policeman, "but he knocks ail their plans in the head when they least expect it. When he is about to start away on a trip the White House landau is always brought up to the door, closed. President Mc- Kinley generally preferred to ride In a closed vehicle. President Roosevelt won't have it that way on a fine, clear England ha*.'a*sthool for the education of hangmen.

One of the pupils acto_:.§JM the subject the attendant* taking turns playing the role of the condemned. Hanging consists not merely in placing a man over a trap door and launching him into space by releasing a bolt. There are various nice preliminaries to be gone through. First the condemned must be artistically pinioned. Then he must be supported on his way to the scaffold in order to avoid painful scenes. After that there is the rope- to be adjusted quickly and without fumbling, In order that the agony may not be prolonged on the scaffold. The rope must be strong enough to bear the weight of the condemned, but not so thick as to slowly choke the condemned to death. Particularly Oat. The old colored man had grown gray in service. He had almost become the custodian of the family secrets, as he was of the family silver. The married daughter, who lived in a distant town, had come home for a visit. Callers were coming all day Jong, and old Pompey was kept busy opening the door and receiving the visitors. One bright morning the ladies of the family went out for a drive. Just after they left the bell rang, and Pompey recognized in the caller a former dear girl friend of his young married mistress. "Are the ladies in, Pompey?" said the young lady. "No, ma'am, they'se all out, ma'am," responded the old retainer. "I am so sorry I missed them," replied the visitor, handing in her card. "I particularly wanted to see Mrs. Bell." "Yes, ma'am, thank ye ma'am. They'se all out, ma'am and Mrs. Bell is particularly out, ma'am," was the reply that greeted her hearing as the visitor opened the gate and the front door closed. The Secret of Health In Old Age. Shepherd, 111., June 23d.—Sarah B. Rowe of this place is now 72 years of age and just at the present time is enjoying much better health than she has for over 20 years. Her explanation of this is as follows; "For many years past I have been troubled constantly with severe Kidney Trouble, my urine would scald and burn when passing, and I was very miserable. "I am 72 years of age and never expected to get anything to cure me, but I heard_of_JPodd's Kidney Pills and thought it would do me no harm to try them. "I am very glad I did so, for they cured me of the Kidney Disease and stopped all the scalding sensations when passing the urine. "I feel better how than I have for twenty years." day. and every time he walks out on the portico and sees the landau closed he gives orders to have it opened. He waits until that is done and then gets in and rides down the avenue, or wherever he is going, without any obstruction whatever to his view. He often outwits the detectives by getting away for walks or drives without their being any, the wiser or without their being able to follow him. He doesn't tell anybody that he is going out, and the first the secret service man around the White House knows is when he sees the president swinging off down the walks on-his—way outof the grounds." Not Ready to Make Up. They had been having a discussion concerning the necessity or otherwise of purchasing a new silk dress in order to be on a level with the De Moneys next door. Banks had vetoed the purchase on the ground of extravagance and want of funds, and his wife was much put out. "Dinner ready, my dear?" he asked, in his most conciliatory manner. Her *face had been like a stale thunderstorm ever since the disagreement, and Banks wanted to change it. "Yes," answered Mrs. B—, shortly. "Must try again," said Banks to himself. Then aloud: "Ab, I am glad of that, my love. I have what the poets would call 'an aching void,' Sarah." "You often suffer from headache," she returned in a cutting tone. Banks drew his chair up to the table with unnecessary noise, and retrained from further attempts at conciliation ior the rest of the day.— Stray Stories. Mad Dog Scare at Kenosha.

Cadogan Morgan was the first elec trlclan to experiment with electric light in solid bodies. This was in 17S5. He first inserted two wires into a stick of wood and caused the spark to pass between them. This had the effect of il luminating the stick a beautiful blood red. An ivory ball, an orange or an apple may be lighted in the same manner. Some experimenters prefer the lemon for this purpose, it being very susceptible to the electric discharge, flashing forth at every spark as a spheroid of i brilliant golden light. The wires used for this purpose should be brought within about half an inch of each othor inside the lemon. '.. 4. Spring Fever. Spring fever is another name for biliousness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels mean a poi?onep system. If neglected, serious illness may follow such symptoms.

He would alv/ays have a lingering suspicion Peterboff was glad to gat rid of him, as though he thought Charlie end his affairs took up too much of iiiaprecicus $me, which should be devoted to matters of~more serious consequence. ,.,' ' He managed to get aboard Ju3t as ths order to*i draw in the last gangplank v*-as given. This sailing at night was something quite out of the U3ual run, but thsre; was a special reason fcr It, quite satisfactory to the officials of the line', and all intended passengers had been warned to be on board in'time. It happened that Charlie discovered Capt. Brand jja. the smoking saloon in time to keep beyond the range of his vision. To Charlie's astonlshr.ient, when Brand tcck a ncticn to retire, he blundered into the wrong statsrocm. which chanced to bo the one that had been assigned to Stuart. This might.have besn deep deaign; but, after carefully considering it from all cides, Charlie folt disposed to call it an accident. He fcund rest in another room which the steward cpened for him. And now here they were, with an elephant en their hands, so to speak, bound to ccme into daily and hourly contact with the strange man whom •they 3trongly suspected, and with good reason, cf bcins a most stup2ndous fraud. CIIAI'TKT: xr. Off Fire Island Light. Charlie had written from Antwerp to certain quarters in London, from which he might expect to receive positive information regarding Captain Draad. He had done this to satisfy Arline. So far as he himself was concerned his mind was already made up most positively. ' If Brand was surprised to see Charlie en board, he gave no evidence of it. He concocted some affecting story, which ho spun in Arline's ears, and with such success that he actually gained a little of his former ascendency in her mind, since she was haunted by doubts wnich it seemed impossible to dispel. Artemus amused himself studying the old mariner. He even played a few games with him in the smokingrocm, where men of all degrees are socially inclined. Captain Brand was the same as of yore. The tales he spun of his wonderful adventures in the African deserts were weird enough to take one's breath away. Artemus listened, almost charmed; and his interest grew apace until one day it struck him that the personal adventures which the captain so modestly ascribed to himself had a somewhat musty flavor, as became ancient chestnuts. This aroused suspicion. Artemus set about an investigation. Lo and behold, upon secretly looking into the captain's Btateroom, while the gentleman was holding forth among his cronies above, Artemus discovered a well-thumbed volume of "Adventures and Explorations in the Dark Contin- The captain^ secret was out. For once he had carelessly omitted to keep the source of his knowledge under lock and key. Artemus borrowed the volume Aand took copious notes, intending to have a little fun a«. Brand's expense from time to time. He took occasion to relate all this to Charlie, who, in turn, told Lady Arline. Strange that even this new and blackening evidence could not wholly convince her. Filial love must have had a strong hold indeed upon the ten- 4er heart of tat* girl who had from **~ 2 cbffdhoed Jtaow* oo UttleJoi parental affection. Hn« even invented excuses for him —a deaire to »*• in print the map of the country where he had so long been a prtaoner, and to have his recollection or names revived. The voyage was on the whole, a storm/ one, but to Charlie it ended all too soon. A a fhoy ngaraA »hA ahnfftfl of America the old captain seemed to lose a goodly portion of his loquacity, and became unusually reserved. Artemus flattered himself that he was the main cause of this collapse but Charlie was rather inclined to be* Ueve Capt. Brand had' Started in to work up some new scheme looking to the acquisition and sequestration of his daughter's gold. Charlie hoped to discover how this fellow—whom he believed he had known as Capt Kledge, and Artemus pretended was a third-rate actor named Frederick Davenport Macauley —had ever come into possession of the facts connected with Capt. Brand of the lost ship Hespasia. The fog hung about them exasperat- Ingly, and the monotonous hoarsethroated whistle kept up its warning notes until they were close to Fire Island Light, when suddenly the vapor gave way and the shore of Long Island ajjpeared^ln_vlew, already showing the first signs of spring. Charlie had perfected what few arrangements remained. They would all go direct to the old Windsor, and there await the coming of Aleck, when an interview between him and Arline must result in happiness all around. = m <~- It seemed simple_enoiighT~yeT^one of them for an instant suspected what tremendous things awaited them in this magnificent capital of the New World, or the forces which might yet be arrayed against thsm through the energy and scheming of the man who wculd net accept defeat. Here, then, the last dramatic scene was to be placed. Hare Charlie was to win his bride, or lose her forever— in this city of restless energy, of wonderful buildings and unequaled magnificence, Charlie and his enemy would come face to face for the last time. Heaven be on the side of the right and strengthen the arm of this warrior bold who dared all in defense cf what was innocent and true. Capt. Brand had almost reached the end of his rope, and would doubtless husband the remainder of his resources lor one last desperate, masterful stroke by which he would win or lose all. r As usual, there was the customs trial to be passed through, but when the gantlet had been successfully run they were free. The great and wonderful city stretched before them. To Arline it was all new, and the sights that were strange to her eyes sho found to be numerous, from the lofty buildings to the electric cars that dashed along at an apparently reckless speed. Capt. Brand accepted everything philosophically. He had seen the world; his checkered career had embraced every clime, and the startling events that had fallen to his share would have laid the foundation for a very fair second edition of Munchausen or the'Arabian Nights. Arline was deeply concerned about wayward Aleck,' whom she had not seen in so long a time. His whole future was at stake. If she missed him now, all might be lest. Yes. this had been wearing upon her mind so long now that it affected her nerves. There may have been something more, which neither of them suspected— a premonition of the startling events destined to take place in their experience; for some minds seem gifted with an almost supernatural power to anticipate coming changes, even as the mercury in the barometer's tube indicates a change in the weather hours before it occurs. Taking a carriage, they were all speedily located at the reliable old Windsor. Upon inquiry Charlie learned that seme one had called for him only the day before, and he was constrained to believe it must be the young fellow who had been his companion in the, Antwerp jail, and whose escape had rivaled that of Monte Cristo. This was good news. He had left word he would call again, so that all they had to do was to leave . a message for him at the desk, and await developments. Arline was not recovered from the effect of the voyage; at least, she was in no humor for sight-seeing until this long-anticipated interview with her half-brother were over. So she kept hfer room much of the time. When the so-called Capt. Brand set foot again in New York, he faced new dangers. There were those upon the Rialto, actors of greater or lesser degree, who must have had dealings with Frederick Davenport Macauley during the palmy days of yore, when he played his little part in the drama, and manfully plod his way, footsore and weary, over the railway ties back to New York after an unsuccessful tour of the provinces. - " ' Sonne of these worthies could he depended on to recognize their old-cornrade of those halcyon flays, despite the" ra<Ve**< change jree*erity might have m*de in his personal appearance and bearing. . . . ..- - ; Thus evening Vouad tbWn.? : Charlie had the pleasure of dining with Lady Arline. •iHe^xerted himself *o cneerlier up. Several time's she seemed to temporarily threw off the strange stupor that had settled upon her spirits, and for a short period appeared to be her old self, when, by degrees, the melancholy crept hack again. "To-morrow," said Charlie, when she was leaving hjm to go to her rooms, "I hope we will have Aleck here with us, and then all must be well. Tou can dismiss doubts and fears, to be happy once more." "Yob will forgive my fooliah fancies. You are always so cheerful and kind," she murmured, while be was holding and ardently squeezing her hand, perhaps quite unconsciously. "Until to-morrow, then," "Shall I see you at breakfast?" he asked, eagerly. "If I am feeling quite will; surely at dinner." He was forced to be content. So he watched her, his soul in his eyes, as she walked to the elevator. Was there ever a more queenly girl than Lady Arline; one with a greater share of beauty concentrated in face, figure and mind? Ere the elevator car shot toward the upper realms she waved her hand to irim-andgave-him-a-ravlshing-smile And that smile haunted him a long time, for it was the last time he was fated to look upon her face until— destiny had been utterly fulfilled, the drama carried to its concluding scene, most terrible of all. Sauntering into the rotunda of the hotel Charlie lighted a weed and then began to remember there were others in the world besides himself and Arline Brand. Where was Artemus for instance? And Capt. Brand? Who had now been ashore long enough to get his bearings and figure on some desperate move. Perhaps it wculd be best, as his good sense suggested, to seek assistance in outwitting the great schemer. f Clever minds could be controlled for money, detectives who were able to cope with even such a remarkable scoundrel as he conceived this man to be, and who would speedily put him on his back in the first round. And yet the wretched result of his arrangement with the great Baron Peterhoff aror sed serious doubts in his mind. If the fascinating presence of a woman could so upset a sagacious master of finesse and diplomacy, who could be trusted? There was apparently time. Brand would hardly get his columns in motion under a day or two. Charlie could be governed by circumstances and the trend of events. Besides, there was Artemus, whose wits were of the brightest, and who might be depended on, to accomplish more than a little, looking toward the exposure of the great fraud. These soothing reflections came in some degree through the influence of the magic weed, for to its devoted votaries tobacco seems to be an incense which creates optimists where only pessimism had previously reigned. And of course our Charlie contemplated with more or less complacency the high degree of happiness that would be his portion when the blessed time arrived for him to claim Arline Brand as his own darling wife, with no one, not even a haunting memory of the buried past, to say him nay. He had figured it all out. and decided that -he would make full and free confession regarding his one forlorn e-xperienc? in Cupid's realms. No doubt Charlie took considerable pleasure in speculating upon the various ways in which he might bring these important matters to a focus, but never once did he dream of the wonderful and fearful event by means of which the desired end would be swiftly attained. Again and again he looked toward the Fifth avenue entrance as the door swung behind new comers, but Artemus remained only conspicuous by his absence. Could anything have happened: would the bold and reckless Capt. Brand .begin operations by lopping off the limbs of the tree he meant to fell? It made him deucedly uncomfortable to even consider such a calamity. s Surely some tremendous catastrophe was brooding over himself and his fortunes, or could it be he was partaking of Arlines' slow spirits? Was his cigar to blame? Ah! a change was on the tapis, for ther* came Artemus bustling in from th# outside night air. (To be continued.) [MISTAKES MAOE_BY^ BRJEPDER8 OF CATTL&r We have been wondering what would happen in the vegetable kingdom were farmers and horticulturists U> habitually use immature seed and stock or, in other words, whether degeneration would to any degree follow such practice. In the animal world it is at least certain that this kind of thing cannot be done yea? after year In a general way without weakening stock. If each year in a herd of swine or flock of sheep the immature females are mated with Immature males it must be that after a few years the entire stock is reduced in point of size and strength and productiveness to the average or composite characteristics of the breeding stock used. It would seem reasonable to expect that where immature heifers are bred to yearling bulls that the size of the dairy animals upon the farm will decrease and that their productiveness may also be reduced to that of the average heifer. In swine the common plan of breeding seems to be to use as breeding stock the new crop of females from the spring litters just as soon as they can be bred, and when we remember that these-females In many Instances-are . We must be as careful to koe; friends as to make them. The affections should not be mere "tents of a night." Friendship gives no privilege to make ourselves disagreeable. —Lord Avebury. not fed nitrogenous foods It is the easier understood that the results in the way of pigs can hardly be satisfactory. The breeding stock employed is unfinished—not fully grown, not properly nourished to produce bone and muscle and constitutional vigor. Can we reasonably expect perfect results from such mating? Will not all be brought to the level of the quality, constitution and characteristics of the stock mated? We think that this surely will be the effect in time—that it has been the effect already and that the effect has not been desirabfe. Why turn away the young ewe ov sow after she has bred once or twice and before she is really mature? Her progeny 13 as good as one can expect from such an animal and will unquestionably improve as she matures. Why not let her mature then and retain her as a breeder just as long as she remains healthy and fertile? Wc have seen a Clydesdale mare at thirtyone years of age with a fine colt at foot and were told that she had rarely missed a season since first bred, and had produced fully as good colts after she had become fully matured. W« remember also that the famous Clydesdale stallion Prince of Wales (673) made his greatest success as a breeder after he had become somewhat aged. It may be that he had then better mares as mates, but it is also' probable at least that his own breeding qualities had improved. We have seen many instances where the old brcof? sow was away ahead of the young sows of even better blood when it came to a comparison of numbers of pigs produced in a litter and quality of pigs produced. Such animals should by all means be retained as breeders just as long as possible and receive at all times an abundance 0 nitrogenous food to maintain them perfectly and enable them to nourish their progeny perfectly before an-3 after birth. The best females should be bred yearly and immature stock should not preponderate in the herd or flock, nor should immature males be habitually used. At the same time it Is a plain error to continue using a bull when he has become slow and decrepit. When his powers are waning his progeny may lack constitutional strength and if such progeny be employed for breeding purposes their progeny in turn may show degeneracy. !Like produces like" and good individual character and constitution are absolutely necessary as well as pedigree Mere pedigree without corresponding merit, as indicated, is useless in out opinion, and where poor Individual, sood-pedigreed males are also immature and mated to females of the same sort we can only expect further de- ;eneracy In the progeny. The moral of what we have been pointing out is plain, that it is important to fully grow animals by complete feeding upon an abundance of nitrogenous, natural foods and then to breed only such animals as are worthy representatives of their family and have arrived at a fully mature age in the best of health and vigor. It would be especially good for the swine industry were this plan of breeding more generally followed hand in hand with the method of feeding indicated. A CHAWOf TO * A * l HOITCV.

The.banquet given by the Juniors and Sophomores to the Seniors, last Friday evening was one bright spot in the history of commencement week of 1902, There were about 175 people present and all spoke praises for the young people who had spared no pains in decoration and arrangement of program for the pleasure of the guests, One might have thought that Geo. McQuade of Brighton was a profession al acrobat a couple of Sundays ago. In alighting from a moving train he made several somersaults, receiving some very bad bcuises and a severe scalp wound, which required a number of stitches to close.

Paguip, the leading man milliner of Paris, was a clerk on the bouree a / e w years ago, with no Knowledge of dressmaking. He Is a tery handsome p a n 1 As long as the American Derby ex* Ists as the feature of western turf sport, breeding and racing interests in this country, representing millions of dollars in investments, will be certain Of popular favor. There are other Derbies, but they lose in comparison with the great June event in Chicago, which rises far above the everyday possibilities of the ordinary "hoss Tace," to the dignity of the two great events abroad— the Grand Prix of Paris and the English Derby on Epsom Downs—which it so closely resembles. The American Derby is a race for glory. The course at Washington tary aristocratic resident streets, pre* sent a scene on Derby day morning unrivaled In America. Like a gorgeous braid of color toe vehicles, loaded with those who have all that wealth can buy**nd art bestow, move out over these streets to Join the boulevard pageant as it passes on with music of horn and bugle to the racing scene. Then the boulevard closely resembles Rotten Row or the Champs Elysees, when royalty is abroad, for the day. All is bright and beautiful, and the spirit of the occasion is as thoroughly enjoyed by those in the chaises as others who tread amid the daisies. It is the Ualoidoscoplc vision of ball park, when the score is tied and and when he met a pretty dressmaker none out ft takes two* preliminary races to give the crowd opportunity to size up itself and to whet the appetite for the real thing. Then comes the pre* limlnary "warming up" of the Derby horses by the exercise boys. The starter crosses the field to the halfmile post and soon after the saddling call by the bugler, the parade of the horses past the grandstand and to the starting post follows. Every vantage spot is now taken. There are the usual false breaks, the scolding and pleading of the starter with tricky and over-anxious jockeys, and finally at the swish of the lilSiis ;...'?|rtVf;W::-;, •:' •••S • ' " K • ••:: ;K i: :—•; I I .

Park, made famous by the speed contests of American and imported thoroughbreds, is that upon which resound t%? hoof beats of the very beet from noted dams and sires. Here the horses that may have run and won elsewhere come to show that they are the real thing as Derby candidates. It is the best horse to win, and naught -could tempt owner, trainer or jockey from the strictest line of honesty. Bven royalty has been represented among the owners who prefer to win the Derby than any other turf event. Multimillionaires from all sections of this country, who willingly pay fabulous prices for horses with which they hope to secure this coveted turf bonor, have seen their favorites defeated by the horses'of owners who Heeded the money to pay their feed tills. Gen. Phil Sheridan, the first president of the Washington Park club, rarely given to newspaper interviews, paid when the track was first opened: "The races here are to be purely for the sport that is in them. Derby day i s to be an event for the pleasure of all. It is also intended as a summer flashing colors that makes Derby day a success. The bright and fashionable equipages drawn by prancing horses whose coats are groomed to a silken sheen, and with gold and silver mountings of the harnesses flashing in the sun, the coachmen and footmen in bright blue coats, white doeskins and highly polished leathers with tan tops, the autos that this year played an important part as the Chicago Automobile Club, turned out in 150 machines, the color effects of the stylish dresses, sunshades and millinery all combine to make it seem as though the boulevard had caught the end of a rainbow and rolled it out along the thoroughfare. And, as this symphony of colors is carried through the gates and onto the infield, as carefully kept as any lawn, for it contains a magnificent golf course, the scene from the clubhouse and double decked grandstand, seating 30,000 people, makes Derby day just different from the ordinary "hoss race." Then to those on the infield where the vehicles are ten deep along the quarter of a mile of home stretch of the track, the animated scene about the club house flag the great crowd takes up the cry "They're off!" and the horses come thundering down the stretch on the first turn past the grandstand, horses and riders equally determined to win the check for $20,000, which the presiding judge will place in trembling hands in the fractional part of three minutes. But those hands do not shake now. Straight and true, they guide the bundle of nerves and muscular force towards the goal of ambitious effort for each little knight of the pigskin. Cheered by the frantic cries from 50,000 throats, each for its particular favorite, horses and riders round the quarter-mile post and from this point the race is really on. Glasses are now in hand of eager spectators, and it seems but a flash of color along the back stretch until the contestants are in the home stretch. Now the hoofbeats keep time to the heartbeats; a brief interval as they pass under the wire, and then as the number of the winner goes up on the judges' stand a tremendous burst of applause breaks from the crowd. Men swarm out upon the track; the immense floral horseshoe is brought who had * small shop he married her. Gradually the two extended their establishment until to-day they are the joint aristocrats of fashion, standing easily at the head of all dressmaker* in the French capital Once thorough* ly established in a prominent way, the clever and ornamental young couple inaugurated a new regime.

Madame waa met at the door by monsieur himself, and to be met by Pequin waa a treat The moaf beautiful of Parisian elegantes and the homeliest old dowager received the same flattering welcome* the same tender interest The charming woman, the handsome man, both so deeply interested, both so deferential, both so intelligent.

Crider describes very graphically how he was overtaken by an enemy and his narrow escape, he says: "For years I have been troubled with Kidney Disease which came on me so gradually that I did not know what it was until the pains in my back warned me that it was Kidney Trouble. "I began treatment at once and used one medicine after another, but without help, till at last I was just about to give up in despair. "Just then I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills and bought a few boxes and began to take them. They helped me from the flrpt and now I am completely cured.

Hot S h o t One look "told Charlie that hie friend had good news. Artomus was fairly bubbling over with the* intelligence he had picked Such a' smile upon the face of Barnaby looked bad for Capt. Brand and his great game; the foundations of his Spanish castle were getting shaky, and possibly the whole tremendous structure must come crashing down, engulfing him in the ruins. "What's the word?" asked Artemus. "AH goes on serenely, so far as I know." Artemus shut one eye. "There's some high old fun in prospect." "Well, yes, I suppose so; St. Patrick's day is always ..Dooming with good cheer in New York." "Ah! I mean for us; for our friend the captain." "That strikes closer home. Now, I knew you were the bearer of good news when I saw you enter." "I always said-4-was horn under a Since I have found another way of ensnaring the wonderful, Capt Brind in a net which must render him utterly helpless. When the Rial to prospects grew dim, I had in my mind another alternative, by which I meant m e , you lucky star, and this settles it beyond peradventure." "Well, tell me your adventures, and how good fortune attended you. All of which shall be to the glory of our cause, the vindication of truth and right, and the utter demoralization of Capt. Brand." "Come over here, where comfort and velvet chairs await us, and prepare yourself for a surprise that will, I guess, surpass anything you ever heard." So they settled down. Charlie endeavored to retain his composure and possess his soul in patience. He knew Artemus of old and that a ceremony had to be gone through with ere he would disgorge the secrets he possessed, such as would not disgrace the cross-questioning In one of the higher courts. "Wella>»ow, you know what hopes I had with regard to the fellows on the Rlalto; how I built up air-castles concerning the finding of one or more among them who knew Macauley by heart, and would, for a proper consideration, take pleasure in denouncing him to his face. "I only ran across one man who had played upon the boards with the great Macauley; he declared he would know him under any disguise; that his mannerisms must always betray his individuality even though he represented— an—Arab or a. heamen Chinee," ''Ah; that's the man we. want, " s a i d Charlie. "And that's the man we wont get. You see, he had one experience wiui Macauley, and to this day he declares the mention of the man always sends a chill up and downthis spinal column. In a word, he fears him worse than the devil fears holy water, and neither bribes nor pleading could induce him to say he would open his batteries on Brand. The most I could get him to promise was to see the other from a safe hiding-place and then secretly give us his opinion, with the iron-bound proviso that his name would never appear In the matter." Charlie elevated his eyebrows. "I should say that man was a little bashful." "He admitted the soft impeachment, and confessed to a ghastly fear. No Macauley for him, thank you. A burnt child dreads the Are, you know." "It might be some satisfaction to us If he added the weight of his Becret testimony to our own strong convictions in the matter; that is, it would perhaps influence Lady Arline." "No doubt, no doubt" "„Win it nav to summon him, then?" know. It was suggested by something you said a long time back, In case business took us to London. "First of all, 1 began to make diligent inquiries among the various shipping houses down in the region about Fulton market, and soon struck oil. "One man remembered the Hespasia and her sad fate perfectly. He had sailed a voy&6o on her, and was later on connected in some clerical way with the American branch of the house in whose interests she was Bailed up to the time of her loss. "That branch house is still in existence and only a block away from where we stood talking at the moment; if interested in the Hespasia or her gallant captain, I could not do better than to turn in and make inquiries there. "When I opened my business with a little gray-headed chap, who was resident agent,I wish you could have seen him jump about six Inches off the floor, while the look of astonishment on his face was quite killing. For, as he presently informed me, as luck would have it, I had come asking about a vessel lost many years ago, about which no vestige had ever been the most stupondou* thing on record — coincidence without a parallel. But see here," a s he defected a quizzical gleam in t h e other's fun-loving eyes, "this is too serious a thing to joko about, you know, my dear fellow." "You J>et i t Ia£ "And you are in dead earnest?" "Never more so in all my life— cross mv heart if it jsn't so." discovered, in the very hour that~tSe~ sole survivor of the luckless Hespasia had been sitting there in the same chair I occupied, and telling the most thrilling tales of his adventures in the deserts of Africa—the most exciting that ever fell from the lips of mortal man." "That was quite a unique situation —to sit in the same chair and this survivor of the Hespasia wreck had occupied within the hour. How it must have stirred your blood and set your nerves tingling! And then, just to think what rollicking adventures he had to tell of his life in Africa. By the way, haven't we heard something in that line before? I have an indistinct recollection of listening to some very entertaining reminiscences that rivaled the feats of old Munchausen. Perhaps, after all, it was only a dream." "Plainly, then, you think the old boy has been up to his tricks, and spinning his yarns to a fresh audience," Artemus remarked. "I confess that thought came to -at to me." "Well, it struck me that wayfirst." "Ah! then you found occasion change your mind?'' "I did," .. "And it wasn't the ogre?" breathlessly. "Not a bit of it." _ Then Charlie gave vent to a This direct method of questioning was the best way of assisting Artemus along. It compelled an answer, and thus necessitated the unmasking of his strong batteries. "I hardly think so." "You know best, but 1 should like to hear your reasons for refusing what small favors the gods throw in our way." "And you shall, Charlie, my boy. In the first place, it would hardly pay us to depend at all upon such secret testimony. If we couid Inject some alcoholic fluid into this low comedian, to give him backbone, so that h e , would face Brand and finish the game In a blaze of glory, it would do very well; but I fear the only thing that would give the poor devil artificial courage, would at the same tim,e steal away his senses, so that our cause would hardly make much progress. Don't you agree with me?" - Charlie nodded' In the afflrniatyvi, i "That is one reasoa, you see. It wouldn't pay to bother with §ueh a witness; tlnw «n* tabor , w&djfood whistle. There were two Rlchmonds in the field. The man they knew as Capt Brand had a rival for the honorsit was growing decidedly interesting, and Charlie Stuart realized that his friend had certainly stumbled upon news of importance. Here, then, was Mate Ben Hazen, come to the surface after his long exile. Yes, it was a grand stroke of luck. They could doubtless easily prevail upon the mate to meet the imposter face to face, and tear away the mask with which he had all this time concealed his identity. Surely he would be willing to do this for the Fake of his old captain's daughter. No wonder Charlie felt pleased. "Well," he said, at length, "it begins to look like business, I declare." "Very much so,' remarked Artemus. **I can readily see there is some great fun in prospect if we can bring these two wonderful African travelers into contact." "Oh! glorious!" "And if we can get the mate to denounce this old ogre, our end is gained." "Who is to denounce him?" "Why, Ben Hazen, the mate, of course." "Ah! where will you find him?" "I thought—that is. I understood, or, at least. I took It for granted, you had found him." Artemus slowly shook his head in the most tantalizing manner. "I never said so." "The4n I jumped at conclusions, and was wrong?" "You were." "If Ben Hazen is out of the question, I suppose this is one of the crew who has turned up?" Artemus lay back in his chair, with thumbs in the armholes of his vest His attitude was consequential and triumphant; it plainly gave warning that he was about to fire a volley. "Guess again." "I am at. my wits' ends." "How^ about the genuine Simon Pure c a p t a ^ " Charlie caught his breath, "Gooi Heavens! that wc;ild be Then Charlie realized that he could believe him. "Tell me," he said, eagerly, "were you incredulous at first?" "Rather." "And how did you set about proving matters?" "I saw only one way—that was to look up this new claimant for the honors." "You did i t ? " "I had to. You see, I couldn't rid myself of the idea that it might after all be Macauley, our ogre, spinning his spider web." "That would have struck me the first thing." "Well, with me it was somewhat different, for the case stood out so clearly. You see, he came to the agency in company with the captain of the English steamer that picked him up in a small boat off the coast of Africa—he having at last escaped from the Arabs who held him prisoner so many years. "This steamer was bound from Cape Town to New York, and had been thrown out of her regular course by a series of terrible southern storms. "They wanted to put him aboard DURING SUMMER MONTHS Sm mmm- Dr. Hartman dives Free Advice to Suffering Women. some vessenBound for Londonr—butr strange to say, spoke none during their subsequent voyage, so that ho has been landed here." "Most remarkable. What a surprise for Arline! I truly hope this papa will prove more acceptable than the ogre Has* been," said Stuart, re flectively. ' "I think he will," remarked Artemus, calmly. "What grounds have you for believing so?" "The evidence of my judgment as brought to bear upon the matter by eyes and ears that are at least equal to the average." "Then you have seen him?" "Oh, ay." "And talked with him?" "Spent three hours in his company and he was very loth to have me break away, then." Really, that should settle it. In three hours Artemus could learn scores of things that would go to prove matters were as the new claimant declared. "And the captain—what of him? Is he anything like—well, our ogre?" "Not a whit in manner, and very little in appearance. These long years on the desert have darkened his skin and whitened his hair, but they could not destroy his noble nature. It shows in the determined and kindly glow of his eyes, in the almost heavenly smile, and warm clasp of the hand." "H*m!—Weirrf-hope he'll be-friendly," said Charlie. "Oh, he's wild to see you—to thank you for all that has been done. Don't worry a bit about that part of it—I've fixed matters," significantly. Charlie blushed a little. "Hope you haven't overdone it and made me out a heroic sort of figure. By the way, what did he think of the other?" "You mean—the ogre?" "Yes. Capt. Brand Number One we may say." "Well. I wouldn't care to stand in his boots when those two meet. There's going to be war to the knife, I can tell you." "Just as I thought." "AH these years he has lived oa the hope of seeing his dear ones again, and to find an usurper in his place makes him furious." "Could he cone with the rascal?" "His wild life among the Arabs has hardened his constitution like iron. Besides, he isn't an old man, although his hair is white. God help the ogre if once he falls into the avenger's hafids." "Then we must see that this happens as soon as possible. There is need of haste. Such a romantic story as the captivity and escape of Capt. Brand can't long be hidden under a bushel. Some enterprising reporter will gret hold of it, and the affair can be spread out over a whole page*of a yellow journal." "Correct. And for that reason I thought you had better see my captain at once, so I took the liberty of fetching him along, and if you will kindly take a little walk with me, I'll introduce you to—papa!"

Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, EO prevalent, t h a t they accept it as almost inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness.

I prefer drilling alfalfa seed with small grain for the reason that it_can_ be put into the ground about two inches deep and thus find sufficient moisture to bring it up. So far I have had much better results than from broadcasting. For timothy, redtop and brome grass I prefer broadcasting, as I know of no drill that will handle these seeds properly. I use a wheelbarrow seeder, costing about $8, with which I can sow twenty acres a day. I always sow these grasses in early spring, writes a correspondent to Orange Judd Farmer. For alfalfa I plow the ground in summer or fall, grade it well and irrigate before seeding. The seeding is delayed until all danger from frost is past, say from May 10 to June 1. I always see that every inch of land has been irrigated. Then when the ground lias dried just enough to work well I go on the land with a hoe drill. I put the alfalfa seed in the grainbox and let it run down through the pipes. Set the drill to cover about two inches. Use sixteen to twenty pounds of seed per acre. When the ground is dry enough not to pack, go over the land with a roller or a planker. Seeded in this manner every alfalfa seed will come up. I get better results from ten pounds by this mode of drilling than those who put in twenty pounds of seed broadcast.

This is an arid section, and all seeds lying on or near the surface of the ground either sprout and then die for want of moisture or do not sprout at all.

In China theft is so common that nobody notices it ' A young Chinaman once slipped three oranges up his sleeve at a party. While making his bow at parting the oranges slipped out and rotted on to the floor. He-accormted for the awkward event by saying that his mother was very fond of oranges. His fault was straightway overlooked, and he was afterward held up as an instance of filial piety. There aro Beveral proverbs which go to show that the folk think lightly of stealing. One •ays that "when tailors cease to pilfer cloth their children will have to go without food," and another declares, "When silversmiths do not steal, they Will certainly starve."

The license of every man running such a place was held up by the committee until every stall was torn out and the partitions hiding the secret bars were taken down. Some licenses have been refused entirely and the police authorized to close them up. The common council is compose d of twenty-four men. Twelve are elected every year and hold office two years. Twelve of the council men who were under Mayor Perry are now in office. A few of these men stand for decency and law and order.

THE BONDSMAN MAKES THE'SALOON POSSIBLE. In Michigan no saloon can run its business legally without two. bondsmen. If he could not find men of his own sort with property enough to justify on the bond, he could not run his business. Hence the bondsmen are in a certain sense, partners in the business. They are usually paid for signing the bond one hundred or two hundred dollars. If any church member signs such a bond he ought to be dealt with by the church just as though he had opened a saloon. He has opened it by his bond. Society ought to treat the bondsman as it does the saloon- keeper. He is no better. If society ostracis es the saloon-keeper it should o stracise the bondsman. - — 1 E i g h t large-towns in Ohio have gone dry under their new local option law, passed two months ago and over 100 more towns are either circulating their petitions for a vote or have gotten their vote granted.

James M. Barkley, pastor of the Forest Avenue Presbyterian church. After prayer the temporary chairman of the convention, William Alden Smith, congressman from the fifth district, de- -Hvered-an address that called for frequent applause. Gov. A. T. Bliss, candidate for a re-. nomination, was an interested spectator in the gallery. Candidate Stearns was not present during the morning or afternoon, but his Wayne county manager, Homer Warren, sat in the gallery a few yards to the left of the governor. The Bliss men were very nearly accurate in their estimate of 800 votes for their candidate, the Saginaw colonel rollinjr up 811 on the first ballot, against 214 for Stearns, 40 for Horton, and 22 for Patton. The hardest worked lot of men in the convention were those on the committee on resolutions. The cause of their troubles was the disagreement over the question of primary elections. The State League of Republican Clubs had declared for primary reform, and Charles E. Townsend. representing the league, appeared before the committee j to urge the adoption of the plank pre p.-u'ed by the league committee. He was backed by Charles D. Joslyn, of Detroit. The members from the interior, however, objected to any plank which would positively demand the passage j of & primary bill next winter, holding that the voters in the less populous counties do not want to drop the con-! vention sytem.

Homer Warren, chairman of the primary election committee of the state league of Republican club*, after reading the piank of the platform on election reform, said: "The convention declaration is not as" strong as we would have made it, but 1 fee' satisfied with what has been done, and we shall keep on with our campaign to brinir about the passage of a general primary election bill in the next legislature." Fred R. Fenton. president of the league, also expressed his satisfaction with the platform and his belief that a primary bill will be passed next winter.

"In common with th* citizens of all the s t a t e s of our union and the members of all parties, we mourn the great loss which ca-ne to our country through the tragic death of President William McKlnley. His puhiic life was dominated by !h'e highest patriotism and honesty and his private life was p u r e and gentle, The addition of his name to the list of departed heroes who pave up to our country and our n a r t v high and noble service, adds incentive for continued efforts In behalf «of the principles and the po'ltics he so worfhilv represented. " W e mourn in common with all the people of the s t a t e th^ untimely death of the Hon. Hazen S. Pingree, whose public career will long live in the history of our state. We extend to his bereaved widow and family our sineere expression of s y m p a t h y and sorrow." Count Tolstoi has written a vigorous letter to the Czar demanding a constitution for Russia, Count Tolstoi evidently does not take his recent death seriously. Senator Hanna has given his new son-in-law $50,000. This should help to make life during the stay in the bride's cottage on Lake Superior one grand sweet song. When a lawyer is appointed to a political office he always gives up a practice that was worth at least $25,- 000 a year. Yet some people think there are no miracles. The news that the automobile fad will be responsible for thirty per cent rise in the price of furs is particularly depressing when one needs earmuffs and sealskin gloves In June. Mark Twain is unconcerned about the report that the German translations of his work are barred out of Russia. Perhaps he has noticed the translations of German jokes in American newspapers.

Tin- 17-year-old son of Jim Henry an Indian residing three miles w'est of Vnionville, was shot and lulled Saturday afternoon by Al Adams, a farmer. The story as told by the excited father of the boy is that Adams came to the Henry home and while there attempted to assault .Mrs. Henry. The hoy rushed to bis mother's assistance •and in the fight which ensued Adams drew a revolver and fired three shots at the boy, all three taking effect in the head. The story told by Adams varies somewhat from the one told by Henry. He states that the boy and his father assailed him and that in self-defense he fired the fatal shot at young Henry. The fact that Adams is considerably battered would seem to substantiate bis story to a certain extent. He 1ms always borne a gootl reputation. Heir Rnral Route*.

Hailstones an inch in diameter fell iu Benton Harbor, destroying fruits and vines and in some instances trees. The streets were flooded. The wind, rain and hail storm also did serious damage to fruits In Quinc>y-Coldwater» Mendon and Kalamazoo. Michigan gave the Detroit & Mackinac railroad 1,327,047 acres, which were put up as security for bonds to construct the road. The annual report of Commissioner Cottrell shows that last year 3.140 acres were sold at au average of $3.95 per acre. The Supreme Court has granted a stay of sentence in the case of ex-Representative Arthur L, Rich, of Newaygo, found guilty of assault and sentenced to two and one-half years' imprisonment. The case will be appealed, and Rich admitted to bail. Stephen Corvau, secretary of the Michigan district. 1'nited Mine Workers, has evidently given up hope of an immediate settlement of the strike. Ho has purchased ten acres of garden land iu Bangor township and is now devoting himself to tilling the soil. Local Hawkshaws of Kalamazoo, have captured a man who gave his name as Charles Ritchie, by first knocking him insensible with a stick of wood. He had a revolver, skeleton keys and a flash lantern on his person. They think he's a bank robber. The railway companies of the state are beginning to pay their specific taxes to the state, which are due during the month of July. Saturday the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad paid $01,805 21; the Wabash, $48.805 22; Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste, Marie, $24,518.

Admiral Dewey, In hiM testlffionrlJe^ fore the Philippine commission, told his opinion of ^.gulnaldo very concise* y}< - • " 1 f \ . . „ . '•Since yon have asked my opinion," said Dewey, in answer to a question, *I \rtll asfy I believe Agiiirfaldo was there for gain, for loot for nioa#y and that independence never eutered his. head." Senator Carmack asked bim why h e furnished such a man arms and helped to organize his army, to which the admiral replied that "all was fair in war" and that there were no American troops in tlie islands to oppose the Spaniards. When he assisted Aguinaldo he did pot call him n robber and plunderer, but the "insurgent leader.'* "I say I think he was there for loot and money," he continued. "Do you think he was there for anvthing else?'" he asked, turning to Senator Carmack. "I <tt>," responded the senator. ' ^ e i l , I swear I dou't." said the admiral emphatically. Answering several ouestlons the admiral said he thought he knew Aguinaldo better than Gen. Otis. Gen. Bell or any other officer, as h» saw more of him. He had not been "In Manila 4S hours before I saw h* was there for loot, for he was then taking everything he could lay his hands on from everybody and I expect he £ot the lion's share." The inquiry ended rather abruptly at 10 o'clock. Senator Carmack asked: "You don't know of a single dishonest act on the part of Agulnaldo, yet you regard him us a thief?" Admiral TJewey said: K r think—I shan't answer that question." and taking his hat and bowing, left the room. I t a t h b o n e A g a i n . In the Senate Saturday Mr. Teller (Col.) presented a petition from Estes G. Rathbone praying for a full investigation Into his performance of duties as 'director of posts of Cuba during United States occupation.

Vegetable Caterpillar. Among tbe many strange growths, apparently freaks of nature, which are to be found in New Zealand the vegetable caterpillar readily ranks among the foremost. This caterpillar is several Inches In length. Is hairless and •does not differ essentially in appearance from some of the caterpillars of our own land. Its claim to distinction lies In the fact that when it gets ready to die It digs a bole for itself In the earth and completely buries itself. Later a slender green shoot springs from the spot This bears two or more leaves near its top. Upon Investigation it is found that the green shoot springs from the head of the dead caterpillar, and further investigation develops the fact that the body of the caterpillar is filled with roots. The form is retained without change, and the roots do not pierce through the skin or enter the ground. When dug up. this dead yet living freak presents a most odd uppearaace, for the head and even the eyes of the caterpillar are distinctly seen, yet from the head is growing Use green sprout, with Its leaves. t Bard to Tell Chinaman'* Ave. How old Is n Chinaman? Can you give a good guess? It is harder to tell than tbe age of a negro. Tbe Chinaman has no beard, and his hair Is of a jet and glossy blackness, which turns gray only at an extreme age, when a Caucasian head would be either snow white or bald. Then again the Chinese have the most perfect nervous system of any people in the world and do not wrinkle up with age. They can stand any amount of opium smoking without material injury that would send a white man to his grave or an insane asylum. So you have little to go by. A Chinaman will look thirty when he is twenty and when be is fifty. If yonv ask him his age, he will place it at* least ten years ahead, for he holds old age to be honorable, and among his people he will be respected and looked up to by all his Juniors."-Washington Post •AAAAAAAAAAaaaAAAaaaAaaaaS Fo Set vice.

Nov. 11 1871 and in the fall of 1876 she was adopted in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Plummer of- Marion where she lived till she became the wife of Geo. Collins in Jan. 1888.

How she came there or the real cause of her death seems to be wrapped in deep mystery. She was ever of a gentle and loving disposition and all who knew her loved her. She leaves to mourn their loss, a mother as well as her adopted parents, with three sisters, two brothers, a husband and seven small children, the oldest child being a girl of near 13 years old and the youngest \ twins of only 13 months, who all need j a mothers tender care.

W o m p n of t h e F l o w e r y K i n g d o m W h o R a l e T h e i r | R C o r t f u j e J P a r t n e r s S "Chinese humorous literature .abounds with reference to henpecked husbands," said Prof. Herbert Allen Giles, of the University of Cambridge, In the closing lecture of his course at Columbia University. Then he went on to tell a sample story culled from this branch of Chinese literature. "Ten henpecked husbands resolved to form a society to resist the impositions of their wives," he said. "The ten wives heard of the plan, and while the meeting for organization was in progress entered in a body. Nine of the rebellious husbands incontinently bolted, but the tenth one retained his place, quite unmoved by the frightful apparition. The ten ladies, merely smiling contemptuously on the one man left behind, returned to their homes satisfied with the success of their raid. The nine husbands thereupon returned and resolved to make the heroic tenth the president of the society. When they went, however, to inform him of the honor it was found that he had died of fright. "Women have a few privileges that men have not," continued Prof. Giles. "They are exempt from the bamboo punishment; no woman can be bambooed. And a woman is a source of anxiety and misgiving to magistrate and counsel in any case in which she may be a party, for no Chinaman will enter into an argument with a woman —not from any feeling of chivalry at all, but from a rooted conviction that he will get the worst of it." Prof. Giles continued to reveal masculine secrets by describing something which he said really took place at a dinner at which a number of highclass natives and important foreigners were present. The host, addressing himself to the latter, Inquired: "Do you fear the inner ones?" Upon inquiry he explained that he meant their wives, and added, with unconscious pathos, that many Chinamen stood in constant fear of their wives. "Now, for example, he does," said the host, naively, pointing to a solemn and rotund magistrate, who had impressed everyone as filled with a sense of his own importance. At this all the Europeans present burst into uncontrollable laughter, which rather surprised the Chinaman, who had been seeking to acquire information on what they thought were serious matters.—New York Tribune. C Depravity of the Young j C of the Human Race 9 A fond father Bays that nowhere is there to be found as well-developed a brand of natural depravity as that which animates a 6-months-old infant, and he tells this story in confirmation of his opinion: The other evening he was left alone •with his tiny son and heir. The youngster's mother went to the theater. His aunt went out also, and so did his •nurse, and the man was left in full possession of the field. About 7 o'clock, with sublime disregard for modern rules, which say babeg must be put upon a bed and left \o go to sleep by themselves, the father began to rock his child to sleep. And he rocked and crooned and walked .•steadily from that time until 9. Then, the infant having finally succumbed to "nature's sweet restorer," lie arose, and, as if walking on eggs, •carried his burden steadily to the bed- Toom, put it down as gently as possible, and withdrew. Alas! however, i n closing the door it squeaked a bit, *p<t Mr. Baby was as wide awake as ' ever, and he remained as chirpy as a 17-year locust until his mother came home at. 11. Next evening—and here's where the depravity comes in—mother was home and aunty and all the rest of the family; so Mr. Baby went off ?o sleep at G o'clock as usual. At 8 he leii'out of bed with a dull thud that went to the maternal heart like a dagger. But he didn't even stir. His fond parents picked him up and carried him to the light, fearing all sorts of things, and then, and not until then, did the youngster open his eyes<and smile a cherubic smile into the anxious faces bending over him. Then he went off to Sieey again, none the worse for his accident. "But why," asked the bewildered man, "why will a baby who is aroused by the slightest creaking of a door one night, when his mother isn't home fail to even wake when he falls out of bed the next?" And it is a problem, now, isn't it?— Baltimore News. Noted by a Traveller During a Recent Trip Through the 8outh. J A great peculiarity of the black race everywhere is its love of gossip and its madness to spread news. You do ' not have to advertise for a servant ia tho South. You mention that you need one and servants begin to call and apply within an hour after you have expressed your wish. The news spreads because no two negroes ever pass in the streets without speaking to each other. Even though they are total strangers they Invariably halt and gossip. Everything that happens in a town over night is known in every kitchen early In the morning, and every servant burns to tell it to her employers. A fire, a robbery, a quarrel between man and wife, a case of illness, the arrival of a visitor, perhaps the mere contents of a letter concerning matters unintelligible to the servant who hears it read—all these things fly from mouth to mouth and kitchen to kitchen. You -may watch your kitchen and think that you have made sure that no negro has called upon your cook, or maid3 between breakfast and lunch, and yet at lunch the waitress will let fall tho gossip of "the place since breakfast. It is just the same in Africa. There they call the process "the Kaffir telegraph." When I was there many a battle was heard of "in the air" at Cape Town, Kimberly and Port Elizabeth a day or even 36 hours before the news came by electric telegraph. The negroes brought the news, and it was considered sufficiently reliable to affect the values of African securities. The news was carried hundreds, even a 1,000 miles, by the Kaffirs. They shouted it from man to man, they signalled it from kopje to kopje and kopje to velt, they ran 100 miles with it for no pay, for the love of gossip.

LOOK FOR PRECIOUS STONES D i a m o n d M e r c h a n t s to S e n d a n E x p e d L i o n to the West Indies The latest London mail advices convey the information that De Beers are about to send an expedition to the scene of the recent volcanic disturbances in the West Indies to look for diamonds. It is recalled that a few years ago, some large octahedron crystals were found in Barbados which were later identified as white spinels, which are frequently unearthed where diamonds are, although by themselves, and even when colored, are often very valuable. The French crown jewels contain a spinel ruby of 56¾ carats, and another which was valued at 50,000f. in 1791, one of 4 2-5 carats and another of 3¾ carats, being each valued at 300f. Small spinels fetch from 6f. to 13f. per carat; specimen stones fetch WHY THEY AR08E EARLY. even more. A stone that a New Guiana gold prospector recently exchanged for I a bottle of saccharine pellets was sold in Sydney, N. S, W... for $300. I A peculiarity of the spinel is that, no matter what be the color of the stone, the light which is reflected from the depth of the gem is always a pale I yellow. A blue spinel has been con' f signed as a sapphire, and was returned' to the consignor, who had it cut and received more for it than it would have made had it really been a sap phire. A spinel collected by Dr. Heron is said to weigh forty-nine pounds,' When spinel crystals are very fine they j are considered gems, and De Beers think, having been found in large quantities in St. Lucia, it is not unlikely that they will be found in Martinique and St. Vincent. • Unitarian Minister Somewhat Mystified His Clerical~Brother. The number of Panama or alleged Panama hats to be seen everywhere this season reminded an old gentleman from Boston of a story the other day, which he proceeded to tell to another man in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, holding his own genuine Panama in his hand. "I suppose you have never heard of old Dr. Ellis down here," he said. "But a generation or two ago he was a well-known figure in Boston, being one of the famous Unitarian ministers, a friend of many of the Transcendentallists. He used always to wear a white Panama hat, which at that time was much more of a luxury than I judge it is to-day. The same hat did him season after season, yet it never seemed to lose any of its fresh whiteness. "One day a minister of the old persuasion, and very pronounced in his orthodoxy, asked Dr. Ellis how he kept j his hat so white. " 'That is easy,* said the doctor, 'for it has been Calvinized.' *' 'What?' said the other minister. 'How do you galvanize a hat?' " 'I said Calvinized,' replied the Unitarian. " 'But what do you mean by that?' " 'Dipped in brimstone,' said Dr. Ellis."— New York Tribune, his wife is. GOT THE QUILT AT LAST. '#**- Explanation of the Action of a Brace of College Presidents. Something more than a year ago (be last meeting was held in Washing- Ion of the committee on national university, a project which found its conclusion in the Carnegie institution. It so happened that quite a number of membeers of that committee left this city on the same train. Among these were President Eliot of Harvard, President Draper of the State University of Illinois, Prof, (now president) Butler of Columbia, and Dr. Can field, now librarian of Columbia, and one-time president of the State University of Nebraska. - - In the morning President Draper and Dr. Canfleld were the first of the j party to rise.

Presently Eliot raised his face from the bowl and with his eyes shut and the water running down, protested : "You ought not to find fault with Draper and Canfield for their early rising, Butler.

The clink of the ice in the pitcher as the boy came down the hall had no charms for this guest, who stopped at one of Detroit's hotels last week. It was a cold night and, finding that there was not sufficient bed clothing, he_piished the bell. Shortly afterward a colored boy appeared with a pitcher of ice water. "I want a quilt for my bed," said the guest, and he shivered and whacked himself with his arms to get up a circulation. "All right, sah," said the bell boy, but he insisted on leaving the pitcher of ice water. The quilt failed to materalize, and again he pushed the button, and again the humorous bell boy came with another pitcher of ice water and placed It on the dresser. The guest swore softly to himself, and explained that he did not want ice water, but a quilt. "I'm cold, not thirsty," he said. Still no quilt, and he jabbed the button viciously, says the Detroit Free Press. Another pitcher of ice water appeared, and the temperature in the room rose 10 degrees. "Get out of here, you imp of Satan and get me a quilt. No sir, you can't leave that ice water in my room."

It had no bearing on Cuban reciprocity nmljvvas^ not intended to have any. It simply voiced in concrete form his judgment that Cuba ought to be annexed to the I'nited States, and the sooner the better for both countries. The resolution did not suggest annexation of Cuba in an oftensive way. It provided that the Cubans must take the Initiative and only after they had asked lor annexation could tho United States act. For nearly a century, he said, the annexation of Cuba to the I'nited States had been the ambition of American statesmanship. He pointed out that many distinguished and patriotic American statesmen, from Jefferson to McKinloy, had favored annexation, and he thought the present an opportune time to carry into effect the well-defined wishes of a majority of the people of Cuba and the United States. It is in the interest of both countries. I'nele Sam'u Finance*. June 'SO was 1he last day of the fiscal yo.tr, and tho treasury figures show a surplus tor the twelve months of S90,- 000,000. Notwithstanding the large appropriations by Congress and the heavy expense of the war in the Philippines, the receipts during the year show almost that great sum in excess of expenditures. Last year's surplus was about $75,000,000. Notwithstanding the reduction of war taxes made by the last Congress, the total receipts of tho Government during the year iust closed have been only $20,000,000 less than during the preceding year. Internal revenue receipts fell from $304,000,000 to $271.- 000.000, but customs receipts increased* from $238,000,000 to $255,000,000. The expenditures of the Government have materially decreased.

The Texas Senator was dragged away and separated from his opponent by some of those about the Senate. He wag very angry and threatened severe harm to the Indiana Senator. The episode was the result of a Seated controversy which the two Senators had (hiring tin* afternoon, when Senajtor Heveridge had said that Senator Kailey has made "an unwarranted attack" on Solicitor Pentield, of the State Department. When tho Sonnt# adjourned. Senator Hailey crossed the aisle and walked through the seats until ho was facing Senator Bevoridge. "lleveridge." ho said, "I don't want to have any trouble with you, but I want you to withdraw those words, which charge me with making an unwarranted attack upon Pentield." "I didn't intend to insult you." replied Senator Heveridgo, "and there is nothing in my language that you could consider offensive." 'T don't allow any one to say that I libel a man, and that is what you do in making the charge. A'ow, if you won't withdraw the words when I ask you I'm going to make you withdraw them." Senator Bailey had been getting more and more angry and excited as ho talked. Beveridge. in reply to Senator Bailey's last remark, still remaining in his chair, said: "I repeat that 1 did not intend to insult yon, and that I have nothing to retract. As these words were uttered Senator Bailey' threw himself upon Senator Beveridge, who is a man hardly up to the average in physique, and seized him by the .throat with both hands. The rush was so sudden and tierce thaf the chair In which Mr. Beveridge was sitting was tilted back against a desk and the desk was toppled over. Comt of the Strike.

Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau, has invented a machine for cooling buildings in hot weather. It promises to be a great boon to sweltering humanity, and is not an expensive apparatus. The air enters through a tube or pipe, owhich extends from a room to the exterior of the building and begins to freeze when it reaches the center of the cylinder <E). From E to G the air becomes steadily colder, and is coldest when it is discharged. The cylinder is eight feet high and two and one-half feet in diameter. K is capable of taking and discharging 200 cubic feet of air a minute. The air which It descharges is free from dust and moisture and is at a temperature of 28 to 30 degrees. This machine has a capacity of cooling about 20,000 cubic feet of space during the hottest weather. It is filled with an ingredient and needs to be charged only once a day. The machine will keep the temperature at 60 degrees when the ther* morneter marks up to loO. The ap* paratus works automatically, and operates on the principle of gravity.

The loose jaw is limited in Its movement by the length of the slot in the top of the bar which carries the jaw, and by slipping the pivot pin from its seat the two Jaws and controlling lever can be separated. As will be seen, the inner end of the lever is provided with a series of teeth, which engage the teeth of a rack in the bottom of the slotted arm of the loose jaw. By tilting the lever upward and over toward the front end of the slot the loose jaw is free to slide back and forth, and when adjusted in position to fit any nut the reverse movement of the lever tightens the jaw, by the engagement of the teeth with the rack. As soon as the lever is seated in the slotted arm it affords a firm handle for turning the nut. As the faces of the jaws are corrugated they afford a strong clamp such as is essential in a pipe wrench. William J. Quinn, of Caranac. N.

Two years later he added to this the jrassrv^ element, nitrogen, and the two main constituents of the invisible air became captives of science. To these new elements the oid idea clung for a time. Oxygen was named f by its discoverer dephligisticated air. It lacked phlogiston the fancied fire element, and sought it with <eager appetite in wliatever Jt touched. Nit» rogen was called phlogtsticaled air. It was believe* to be saturated with phlogiston and, therefore, fatal to flame.

A doctor was summoned but she got no better. He said she had Kidney Trouble in the worst form. Two other doctors were called in and they agreed that there was very little, if any, hope. She was bloated all over, her eye9 being completely closed and her abdomen bloated until it was purple. They bought six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and she commenced to improve at once. She had used nine boxes before the Dropsy was all gone. The treatment was continued and now she is as well as ever. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved the little one's life. Practical Philanthropy.

In hot weather the canine's distress was often noticed by this Samaritan, and she has adopted this measure for alleviating some poor fellow's thirst, because, as she says, "There are no drinking fountains for dogs in this neighborhood."

A milky opalescence, permeating the entire sea for immense distances bounded only by tbe horizon, is a yomewhat rare phenomenon. It .appears quite suddenly, lasts perhaps for several hours and passes away as rapidly as it came, and this without apparent cause. M midnight we had the singular whiteness enveloping the sea, while the more brilliant kinds of phosphorescence shone in the midst of Hashing green, yellow or bluish lights, as the case might be—a gorgeous nocturnal disp l a j \ During these hours my surface trawl net drifted astern of the ship. The water was alive with countless myriads of little gelatinous sacs measuring onesixth of an inch in leugth— delicate tunicate organisms which required the aid of a microscope to reveal their perfect structure. A few specimens placed in an empty meat tin in a darkened cabin could be seen indeed with the naked eyes careening madly around in the salt water, each one glowing with that peculiar opalescent light which saturated the entire sea for so many miles. It was a small species of salpa, nearly related to a much larger kind on the side of which the late Professor Moseley wrote his name with his ringer, the signature being visible on the dead body throughout the night, glowing with the brightest phosphorescent light.—Cornhill Magazine.

They do all the light work of farming, raising flowers, vegatable and chicken. T h e glass houses are managed entirely by women, and the produce sold in the London market. T h e movement is meeting with great success, many women begging t o stay after they are cured. They acquire a love for outdoor work, and country homes are found for them so far as possible. Good food, pure air, a certain amount of physical labor and cheerfull surrounding have worked gieat changes in liquor soaked women. | The first W C T U in Austria has just been organized in Vienna, with the baroness Langenau as president and Frau Dr. Rassinitz as vise president The baroness is well known at the Vienna court and is much loved by all classes of society. I n England several years ago she greatly endeared herself to British Methodists by the support she gave to the West London mission and to its leader, Rev. Hugh Price Hughes. Her precious gift in the collection box at one of the Sunday evening services of valuable pearl necklace aroused a renewed spirit of generosity in many. Miss Witlard chose the baroness as the one woman most likely to secure a foothold for temperance work in Austria, and now her1 choice has been justified. Worse than 300 "Mines."

On account of prejudice, Capt. Dreyfus is unable to rent a flat in Paris. This is carrying ostracism to its most extreme limit. Senator Depew is said to bo the most popular American in London Even an Englishman can see the point of a Depew joke.

Between Oxford and Flint most of tit*, farms are under water, and unless Russell Sage indignantly denies the truth of the report that he isn't going back to Wall street to try to get more. lire is inevitable. The great volume of water damaged or swept away a'number of culverts and bridges along the Michigan Central and the Detroit-Flint electric line, and service on l»oth roads between Oxford and Rochester was completely suspended during the day. Train service was also suspended between Detroit and Port Huron, a washout near Lenox putting the Grand Trunk out of business temporarily, and a washout near Chesterfield stopping the Detroit-Port Huron electric service.

New Yoxfe CHAPTER XII. Waylaid By the Ogre, This spirited way of doing things struck Charlie as just about right. It suited his own aggressive nature, always bent upon carrying the war —i&tp the enemy's country and striking quick blows. -" • — "That's kind of you, Artemus," he said, immediately, "and I shall be only too pleased to meet the captain." Fate decreed that they should meet Capt. Brand as they sauntered toward the exit. Both gave him a cold bow. It was no more nor less than he was accustomed to from these friends of Arline, and yet he looked after them suspiciously. Ah! had he but dreamed of whither they_ were bound, and for what pur who sauntered fato Vm Windsor -M*e4—"Ah, thanks, awfully.^ that nighf, and ran upon his bote noir at the v e r y f i r s t turn. Clflrrtte-~T5elieved Brand had been waiting for him; his manner seemed to declare it. What .could he want? - -There_was somothing so exceeding TeTTOw^B game pose, the ogre would have considered that the case called for something beyond suspicion. "Keep an eye on him, Artemus," said Charlie. "Well, rather. It would precipitate matters if he chanced to see us meet the original ghost, of we may so term Capt. Brand." But apparently the ogre had awakened to the fact that he was assailed by a thirst which would not be denied, for the last they saw of him he was heading in a bee line for the •barroom. Once clear of the hotel, the two friends turned along the avenue. Artemus knew where he was going; this was his old stamping ground, over which he had ranged for years, always searching for that will-o'-thewisp which until now had eluded his grasp—a sensation that would take the theater-going public by storm, and make his reputation at a bound. So he led Charlie at length into a public house, where many men came and went, where silver and cut glass gleamed upon the buffet back of the bar, and tables invited a social chat. Before they reached a distant table, Charlie had located his man; it was easy enough after he had points given to him. Nor was Artemus an iota out of the way in his rough-and-ready diagnosis of the man's character. Charlie saw he had been a bluff, genial sailor, and these years of wild life on the Sahara, with the wandering tribes of nomads into whose hands he had fallen, had not eradicated these predominant traits. Warmly he shook the hand of the wanderer. Eye looked Into eye and read there the nature of the man back of it. And Capt. Brand was thanking heaven mentally that his child had been beloved by one whom he recognized in his soul to be nature's nobleman. Long they sat there and conversed. The hours passed unheeded, Caarlie was enthralled by what he heard. There was no braggadocio about this man, as in the case of the ogre, and yet he had evidently passed through adventures beside which even the imaginary ones of the other, paled into insignificance. He asked eager questions about his child, and it could be seen how anxious the father was to enfold her in his arms. Taken in all, they passed a most pleasant time of it, and were finally astonished when one of the waiters came with the information that midnight had arrived—it was time to close the house, and would the gentlemen have the kindness to vacate? Which, of course, they did. Arrangements were made for another meeting. ~ Capt.—Brand—also—yearnedLlo e_nv brace his wayward boy, whom he felt sure he could easily lead into the right path. Charlie walked on air as he returned alone to the hotel, Artemus pleading private business elsewhere. Possibly his study of dramatic art included also the stars of the stage, and he thought it his duty to see some divine Casino girl to her home. There were many reflections to Iceep Charlie's poor mind in trouble, -and ward off sleep. This appearance of the real Brand on the scene was a remarkable event —so opportune that he could not but look upon it as providential. Indeed, had the affair been left entirely in his hands, the chances were he would never have conceived so brilliant a climax as to raise Brand, from the grave he was supposed to occupy in Africa, and bring him upon the scene to confound the ogre. Little did this latter individual dream of what was in store for him, or that he stood upon a volcano that was ready to explode. It was a m m very well satisfied with the way the world treated him, audacious about~th~e that Charlie was forced to admire his nerve, even though he felt angry with him at the same time because he had deceived Arline. Capt Brand—as we may still call the old rogue, through courtesy, though well aware that this was not his right name—Capt. Brand had evidently made up bis mind that the time had come for a plain understanding with this, young-fellow who courted Arline. He had fortified himself for the Interview with various potations calculated, according to his way of thinking, to put courage into a man. So he had kept watch, waiting for Stuart to appear. And doubtless his particular thirst needed attention at frequent intervals. Charlie saw at a glance the man was hardly himself, as usual, when the liquor was in the wit went out. "'""HlTnilgKt have preferred avoiding the interview if given his choice, since no good could come of it save to let this man understand they were deadly foes; but Brand intercepted him, and appeared to be decidedly in earnest. Charlie knew no reason why he should run away. He believed he could give the fellow as good as he sent, a Roland for an Oliver, and perhaps find a chance to pick up some information. It occurred to Caarlie at that moment how much of truth there might be in the old saying to the effect that "whom the gods would destroy they first make road." Capt. Brand exhibited a fair sample of it; he was not only mad, but slightly inebriated; not enough to interfere with his utterance, but to muddle his wits a bit, and render him incautious. Of a truth, whisky has ere this, played the deuce with the most wonderful plans that were ever conceived in the minds of men. Charlie could not refuse the horny palm offered to him. It had served its owner many a good turn, and also brought him into much trouble. "I want to see you, Stuart—very important—couldn't wait till morning. Come this way, if you please. Know it's late, but won't detain you long. Must get it off my mind." So Charlie, obliging always, went with him. Brand had his eye on a couple of chairs in a corner where they would be isolated. What he"had to say. was of a private nature, and admitted of no eavesdropper, nor would it have been safe for any curious person to have loitered near while he was in this chaotic condition of mind. Prudence does not ally itself with the indulgence in strong drink. "Ah," said the ether, dropping into a seat, with the air of a weary man, fairly well loaded, "this is something like comfort, Stuart. I've learned, in my long and wearisome exile, the value of taking it easy while you may. Trouble flies fast enough as it is. By the way, excuse me, but I quite neglected to ask you to join me in having something." "Thanks. I should have declined anyway." "Then no harm done. Now, of course, you wonder what I've buttonholed you for." "Naturally so." "Can't you guess?" "Too tired to mane the effort tonight; besides, I'm not good at conundrums." "Ha! ha! this is a conundrum sure enough—I consider all girls' puzzles." "Then it is about—h'm—your daughter?" 'About sweet Arline, sure enough. As a foud parent I am, of course, solicitous concerning her future, and j-especially since she will in due time wish to give up the obedience she has so willingly shown toward my authority, and assume the sacred relation of wife toward some bright young man. That solicitude, my dear Stuart, brings me to a critical moment in my career—brings me in contact with you." Charlie pretended to be dense; he even assumed surprise and perplexity. "How can your future concern me^ Capt. Brand?" he asked. "Ah, you are- disposed to be humorous, my lad. Or perhaps you wish to conceal your confusion under a brave exterior. Very good; every man to his taste, and I am ready to meet you fairly. Now let us reach an understanding." "I am quite agreeable," cheerfully. The returned exile rubbed his hands together, and new hope forced a smile upon his face. "I will say this. Stuart, that of all the beaux who have come courting my sweet girlee I don't know of-anyone I would rather have for a son-inlaw than yourself," remarked the astute captain, soberly. "Of course, I'm concerned about her welfare, h e r futuije happiness. What fond papa would;not be interested?* I h a r e : been toUdying you, young man, when you little dreamed your fate was being decided, held .in the hollow of my hand, so to speak." '^What conclusions. jUA_yojL reach ?" asked Charlie, calmly lighting a fresh weed from the old cigar. ' "I made up my mind that you were a very clever, clear-sighted, reasonable fellow; that my child could be safe in your hands, and would never regret having transferred her liberty." "That was very good of you," smiling. "And I finally concluded that the time had arrived, subject to a condition, when I might give over my charge forever—when Arline would no longer be subject to my parental authority, for you know she has been a very dutiful daughter." "You mention a condition, sir?" "Yes, only one." "May I ask what it concerns?" Capt. Brand smiled broadly. "Myself and my future support," he said. The cat was out of the bag. Capt Braml_desired^ to make terms with the man wliom~dest.lny had appointed to be his successor. Charlie felt the deepest disgust for so base a wretch, and determined to bait him as the toreador does the maddened bull. "Let me see, do I understand just what you mean? You. now receive a certain allowance from your daughter, which she has willingly given you as a pledge of her affection.

The cyclone is by far the worst form of disaster that visits this country, coming at unexpected times and dealing death and destruction in widespread manner. When the summer days bring waves of heat across the stretches of hot sod, then the residents of the prairie West begin to cast their eyes to the windward. They are watching the formation of the clouds, and he who could not distinguish a cyclone bank from any other Is indeed a tenderfoot. Then the cry of warning is carried across the plains, and the. members j of every family makes for their cyclone cellars. These cellars differ in various communities. The popular cyclone cellar on the plains of Western Kansas, where cyclones a few years ago were almost^ a daily occurrence, are ordinarily sod'hoiises, built low and strong. In the Russian communities of Kansas these cyclone houses serve as the family residence the year around. They are about seven feet high, and ry 9 " "Yes, yes; you have it down pat.' very built exceptionally strong. The roofs a r e ~ s l a ^ T h ^ a n d r ^ i e houses a r e set to the wind, that is, the ends are faced toward the east and west. In Oklahoma every farmhouse is backed up by a calre, a hole dug into the ground, and covered by an earthen roof. Some farmers have gone so far in protecting themselves against cyclones that they have a small cannon loaded with salt and buckshot, which is fired into the whirling clouds as they approach. This has been known to turn the course of a storm. It is a common event to dismiss school on the plains of Oklahoma when a bank of clouds begin to arise in the southwest. These wind and rain storms are becoming more uncommon every day, and it is believed that the planting of trees and the settlement of the barren sod has had much to do with it.* Before Oklahoma was thoroughly settled dozens of cyclones were reported every day in the hot months. The writer was in Newklrk one day in the early period of that town's exist* ence, and saw seven cyclones form in the afternoon. All of them followed the course of the Arkansas river, and "struck" in the Osage Indian reservation, far to the westward. *9* WON AND LOST & T r a g e d y of L o v e ' e Y o u n g D r e a m a n d a n A u t o m o b i l e % m % a f a " T t o ' s f c u L T e r ™ t j * * * * * * * * * * * * * ^ * * * * * * * * * * * * to be my wife, you are desirous of j oh, she was the belle of her tony entering into some specific arrangement with me whereby this allowance may be continued during your lifetime." "That Is it, exactly; you could not have hit it better had you thought the whole thing out." Charlie's manner gave him great hopes that he had found a ready dupe. "Now, be perfectly frank, captain— are you fully satisfied with the amount?" "Well, there's a point I wanted to put before you. There are times when, truth to tell, I have thought the dear child, of course, unconsciously, was treating me shabbily. Twice the amount would put me on Easy street, and I'm sure she wouldn't miss it at all." The glow of avarice was In his face —his eyes snapped eagerly, and Charlie could see his fingers working as though in imagination they already clutched the golden prize. "Ah! s twice the amount would satisfy you, then, captain?" Charlie queried, softly. "I am sure of it. And on my part, I would agree to use all the influence I possess in order to make her yours forever. Think of it, my hearty— that sweet girl is worth any sacrifice. There are men, doubtless, who would quadruple the annuity if they could secure'so rich a prize; but, sir, my conscientious scruples stand in the way. Above aM things, I must see her happy." Charlie was secretly amused—it was as good as a play to him. "A laudable ambition for a fond parent, I am sure. And the curiosity I entertained regarding the limit of your desires has been most amply satisfied." "Curiosity! Do I understand you aright, sir? Do you mean to—er— imply that you had no other motive in making such rigid and searching inquiries' into the sacred feelings of a parent's heart? Curiosity, the devil!" he snorted. "It is a cool word, but—it covers the case, so let it pass." "Perhaps—er—my terms have been a little bit too high, and it might be possible for us to affect a compromise." ~ "Oh, no—not a bit too high! Indeed, five times as much would not be considered excessive if you could deliver the goods." "You doubt my ability?" eagerly, "I know it for an actual certainty," as he looked squarely into the captain's bold eyes, that now fell before his gaze set, a winsome and ravishing young brunette, with a pair of eyes that could read your thoughts and tie your affections all into knots. There wasn't a fellow on Big Bug street but had laid. his heart at her shapely feet, and she kept them guessing, those hearts athump, which way the kitten would some day jump. But one there was, he a scheming chap, and he set for his game an enticing trap in the shape of an auto, a rig sans horse that skimmed o'er the ground by electric force, and his rivals were wallowing in dismay when they saw the couple one balmy day spin forth like a streaK for a country ride, on her face a picture of new-born pride, and his rivals muttered in worst of moods: "Our name is Dennis! He's got the goods!" And on o'er country roads they went In high-grade rapture spinning, Both in a dream of sweet content Spasmodically grinning. They talked of this and they talked of that, she through her bonnet, he through his hat, he whispered lies of the genus white, she swallowed them in her new delight. Upon the lever her hand he placed to guide the auto, and round her waist his arm like a noiseless serpent crawled and closer. to him her form he hauled. He breathed in her ears the usual words that lovers toss to the dickey birds, and ghe responded in tones so sweet each sugared sentence seemed good to eat. He'd won the prize, and his soul was filled with joy till the foam o'er the edges spilled, and she was happy to think she'd caught a handsome fellow who owned an auto; and the jaybirds chattered and rustic cows bawled hoarse hooraws to their fresh-sealed vows. And on they sped cf their sense bereft, So tightly did Cupid bind 'em, . That ere they knew it the town was left Some seventeen miles behind 'em. Then the clouds came up and* the rain came down and sprinkled it3 tears on her new spring gown, then changed from a drizzle to falling flood, and the road was a channel of slush and mud. and the auto stopped in rebellious mood—like a balky mule in the roadway stood. And there they sat in that worst of storms with no umbrella to shield their forms, and they got as soaked on their auto perch as a new convert in the Baptist church, and their love was chilled by the rainy slush till it grew impassive as cold fried mush. 'Twas full t » j miles to a railway town, and with scowling features he helped her down and off they trudged through the muddy lane in the pitiless pour of the blawsted rain, her eyes all chafed with the tears she shed, his* lips calcined with the things he said, and they learned at the station with souls aghast that the last dummed train for the day had passed. , And his rivals chattered with merry lip, And approached her with new endeavor, For the language used, on that soggy trip Queered him with her forever! —Denver Post.

Convicted Man Returns Thanks. A curious scene took place in a court at Emporia, Kan., one day last week, when a convicted murderer, who had been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary, delivered an address of thanks, as follows: , "I am entirely satisfied with the verdict and the sentence, and I am confident that not one Jury in ten would havo been so lenient with me. I desire to thank sincerely the court for its just and courteous manner of conducting this trial, and I hope that the blessing o< God will remain with you ail." •: 7 •IIJI .

F. A. SIGLER. We clip tho following -from the Hillboro, Wis., Sentry-Enterprise: The ball game on the Fourth was a hotly contested game, but the Ontario pitcher was not equal to the club swinging ot the Hillsborp boys. Brown came first to bat for Hillsboro and started with a drive that cleared the rielders and disappeared behind the fence like the setting sun, and before the ball was returned he had galloped in a bome-run.-- The game waa. base ball from the first to the eighth, when with the score 8 to 8 and two out and two on bas)s Carl Sykes landed the ball against the right fence for the second tour sacker. Kucha made slippery steals and kept the Ontario second baseman busy try* ing to adjust the ball to him. The Ontario boys played well but were not able to solve the mystery Archie Durfee placed in the pig skin. Our ball players always show.up good in a game.

Th* feet that pressed that yielding turf Had charged the rampart's slippery verge,— Bronzed brows, the morning sunlight kissed, Had faced the battle's storm and surge. And the old banner fluttering free, To greet the welcoming breeses fain, Was stained through all its field of stars, And rent by showers of fiery rain. "Halt!" Swift and sharp along the line They heard the ringing order pass,— "A lark's neat!" I..o! the mother bird Rose atartled from the trembling grass! "March!" Moved as by a single will. The Column parts.

(Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) The Rev. Philetus Carson of the diocese of New York had at last secured a parish whose Income made him feel warranted in asking some one to share his lot. It had been a long time coming, this parish with a comfortable salary, twenty-two years, and Carson was now forty-four. There was no time to be lost. "In fact," said Carson to his friend, the prebendary, "I already feel the habits of a bachelor .growing on me and fear that if I do not marry soon they will so far have fastened themselves on me as not to •be shaken off." "Yes, I think they will begin to /grow on you quite soon, now," said ithe prebendary, who had been married twenty years. Almost coincidentally with Carson's investiture in his new parish, came a -diocesan convention at Saratoga, which in those ante-bellum days was .vthe summer social capital of the country, and the unnumbered rivals that have arisen since were unknown. Carson came to this scene of gaiety with ills heart fluttering like a girl's, -dreaming of meeting his fate there among the throngs of women from all over the land. It was on the second <day that he met Miss Miriam Manigauit of South Carolina, who attended all the sessions of the convention, a devout churchwoman, whom the bish- •op, apparently divining the matrimonial aspirations of his now eligible .subordinate and resolved to further ithem, had taken particular pains to "introduce to Carson, Carson fell in love at once. Not -quite at once, but after not over five minutes debating with himself whether a native of anti-slavery Vermont ought to marry a South Carolinian and thereby lend countenance to the continuance of black bondage. Why did it devolve upon him, one person, to endeavor to put down the peculiar institution? Answer, Miss Manigauit was perfectly charming. Was the North right, or the South? "I reckon I'll be going soon." Answer, Miss Manigauit was a lady to her finger tips. Might not all the trouble be due to Northern ignorance of Southern conditions? Answer, Miss Manigauit dressed with a daintiness that was exquisite. Furthermore, Bishop Hopkins of his own Vermont 'had but lately published a book provi n g that the institution of slavery postaesaed Divine sanction, and to com- *pl«te the chain of argument Miss Manigauit was apparently thirty-six or f*tya;JV*t suttttl to him in age. By the time the minute hand had moved five' spaces after the bishop had uttered the words of introduction the Rev. Philetus Carson was in love with Miss Miriam Manigauit The convention was over, and still Carson lingered and sat on the broad piazzas with Miss Manigauit and talked day after day. There came the afternoon of the last day of his stay. It was now or never, if he was to learn the state of Miss Manigault's affections. He talked of his approaching departure and studied her bending over her sewing, to observe the effect of his words. "I reckon I'll be going soon, too," said Miss Manigauit. "My people will want to see me again. My boy Ike will be awful anxious to see me." Carson almost fell from his chair. More to cover his confusion, his agitation, than anything else, he blurted out, "You have a boy Ike?" and he heard himself add, "Mrs. Manigauit?" Was she wife or widow? The bishop had surely not said "Mrs." "Miss Manigauit, if you please. I have always been Miss Manigauit. Yes. I have five boys. There's Ike, and Jim, and Joe, and Ed down there on my place, and I have another of my boys with Cousin George for awhile. But that is all right, for he's George's boy." If the fact that Miss Manigauit might be or might have been married had struck a cold chill to Carson's heart, what was his horror to hear her confess herself the mother of five boys and cut off all palliating speculations by saying she had always been Mls3 Manigauit. Why, it was monstrous, this terrible, this awful, horrible thing. She, so dainty, so sweet, still a girl, despite her years, a soft pink still in her cheeks, her fine skin marked by a few gracious wrinkles, the record of smiles and sweet sympathy, none of her virgin slenderness gone over into matronly plumpness, none of it passed into old maid slimness. To see this woman, lovely embodiment of delicate purity in her outward seeming, and then to hear brazen declaration of shame! Tears gathered in Carson's eyes and only by a supreme effort did he keep them from bursting forth in a flood. He had never loved before, he had never allowed himself to love before. He knew he should never love again, but drag out the rest of a barren existence, with his dreams tenanted by the ideal being which he had once imagined Miss Manigauit to be. He would have fled at once, but though his connection with M.'ss Manigauit as a man was over, there remained his duty aa a clergyman and he rallied to it. In his capacity as a spiritual pastor and master he addressed her. In a voice whose hardness astonished him, he said: "Did your Cousin George ever ask you to marry him?" "Why how frank you Northern people are. No. He's twenty years older than I am." "Did the father of Ike ever ask you to marry him?" "Ike!" cried Miss Manigauit, springing to her feet. "Do you think I would marry a nigger, degrade myself —Oh, how could you!" "Far better, madame," said Carson, rising to his feet, "to have married this negro and in honorable wedlock borne him your son Ike than to have brought Ike and the other four into the world aa you did." Miss Manigauit shrieked, hut it was as much a shriek of laughter as of rage or injury. There were tears, but they, too, might have been tears of laughter. The man before her was suffering as she had never seen a man suffer before, and It was for love of her. Whatever she might have said or done in anger, whatever she might have said and done in perversity, though plainly perceiving hhs mistake and his sincerity, was profoundly modified by this. "Sir, Ike and the reBt are my negro slaves, mine all except the one at Cousin George's, whom I haven't completely paid for yet. Boys, we call them, and I see you have never heard them called so. What have you to say in regard to the terrible insult you have offered me as a man, to the reproof you were starting out to give me aa a clergyman?" and again there was a ring of merriment mixed with the anger in her voice and the eyes she tried to make stern twinkled. "I have offered you most grievous insult and I cannot think of proper amends. I have heard it said that to offer love is the greatest honor a man can do a woman. To atone for my outrageous offense, may I in deepest humility offer you my hand in marriage? But what right have I to call that an atonement, to ask the unspeakable happiness of union with you and call it balm for my affront? Oh, such is the agony of my self-reproach that I could throw myself under the feet of yonder approaching horses if it would be an atonement." "Wrould you do it?" asked Miss Manigauit, clasping her hands. "Yes, gladly—except for the fact that such an act by one of my cloth might create a scandal and be used by the enemies of sound religion. Oh, I could throw myself down from the roof of the hotel to atone—if my cloth only permitted." "But, tell me, how could you believe It of me?" "Because you yourself said it. All this time I have so builded love and admiration and trust In you that even when I thought I heard you declaring yourself utterly abandoned, I believed, I believed you. Had anyone else, my dearest friend, my brother, whispered aught against you, 1« would not have believed." "You would have fought him, you would have called him out?" "I would gladly have fought him, leaving the arbitrament to whatever deadly weapons he might choose, however unskilled I might be in their use —if my cloth had only permitted." "You are a true South Carolinian, if you are a Vermonter," after the utterance of which paradox Miss Mani- Low«Headed Trtes. The tornado of last week preached a sermon on the low heading of apple trees. The writer was In the orchards of the University of Illinois the next morning alter the storm and found a large part of the apple crop on the ground. He said to himself: "The Dunlap orchards at 8avoy will be a profitless Investment this year, aa, without doubt, the 8,000 trees there have shaken off moat of their apples." Great was. his surprise, however, to find that in the orchard of winter apples at Savoy (5,000 trees), the lost was slight. Here and there a tree had been uprooted on the edge of the orchard, but in the main the trees were not only standing, but were holding their apples. The cause for this immunity was apparent. The trees were all of them headed low, so very low that many of the branches touched the ground. The wind could not get under the trees, but was thrown upward wherever it touched this fruiting forest. The umbrella-shaped tops did not present good material for the work of the tempest. Evidently little whipping was done by most of the branches, compared to what would have resulted to high-topped trees. Riding through this orchard, Senator Dunlap said: "There are four distinct advantages in low heading of apple trees. First, the wind cannot so well whip the apples from the trigs. Second, the branches protect the trunk against sunscald. Third, it is easier to spray the trees. Fourth, it is easier to harvest the fruit. The only objection to low heading is that we cannot so well get under the limbs to cultivate, but that is not a great matter, as weeds and grass do not grow very well in the shade anyway. The objection does not by any means offset the advantages I have named. After harvest is over we will send a man through here with a scythe and he will mow the few weeds that are found under the trees." 8upreme Court Sustains the Foot-East Traa>Mark. Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court, Buffalo, has ordered a permanent injunction, wjth costs, and a full accounting of sales, to issue against Paul B.

Still Agriculture is a Very Old Science in the Land. Although Japanese methods of farming appear crude enough to Am* erlcans and Europeans, it is well to remember that agriculture is a very old science in the land of the Mikado. It was Introduced there 2,700 years , before Christ by an emperor who was afterward deified as god of the crops, in recognition of hia great services to the people. The soil had been cultivated In an Inferior way before that tinse, but this enterprising ruler saw tfce needs of better methods* He'taugttttho peasants by his own example,^ plowing a small plot of ground and sowing it with five most important cereals.

" 'Politicians' Barracks,' is the name which Senator Hanna laughingly conferred upon the new dormitory at Kenyon college at Gambler, Ohio, of which the cornerstone will be laid on June 25," said Mr. Jacob Ehrhardt of Cincinnati at the Arlington the ether night. "It will stand a monument to his spontaneous generosityt which was demonstrated to be of a quality possessed by few men. The dormitory will be built with a check for $60,000 given by Senator Hanna, who attended an alumni luncheon at the college in 1901. He made a little speech which followed that, of a man who had pointed out the great need for a dormitory. "Without any preliminary intimation of his intention, Senator Hanna quietly remarked that he would be glad to write a check for $60,000 for a new dormitory to be called 'Politicians' Barracks.' His offer dumfounded the alumni present for a moment, and then they burst into applause. "The hall will be called Hanna hall, in honor of lts-6onor, who, however, in his modesty, would prefer that it be known by the title he Jocosely conferred upon it."—Washington Times. Hard Wheats Made Millable. F. D. Coburn: Kansas is virtually the only portion of America producing the famous hard red wheat in considerable quantities, in which as in many other things, the state Is unique. The seed was first experimented with in some of the central counties nearly thirty years ago, being brought by Mennonlte Immigrants from southern Russia, near the Black Sea, who apparently understood much better than Americans its*, hardy productiveness and real value. For years following its Introduction it was disparaged by American millers and grain-buyers, who claimed that its flinty character made it so difficult to grind as to: m F terlally leaven rti market value. Tne farmers, however, persevered in sowing it and the production steadily increased, although they ^ere- compelled to accept in the markets from ten to fifteen cents per bushel below what buyers and millers were willing to pay for the softer and much better known varieties yielding considerably fewer bushels per acre. They persistently argued that It was more profitable to raise a wheat that would reliably yield them, one year with another, from eighteen to forty bushels per acre, even though selling for but 75 cents per bushel, than to raise a crop selling for 80 or 85 cents per bushel and yielding- perhaps only twelve to fifteen bushels. This, in the course of a few years, compelled milers to devise ways and means for more successfully and economically converting this hard wheat into flour, and there were brought into use de« vices and processes for softening the grain by steaming and moistening before grinding. Worms in Turkeys. From the Farmers' Review: I have raised turkeys for a great many years, but have never been bothered with worms. I find that it is advisable to raise turkeys with as little artificial feed as possible. I give some extract of logwood in the drinking water. The logwood is added till the water is the color of wine. I get more turkeys raised in this way than any other, but do not recommend this as a cure for worms. I have given areca nut for other purposes and always had stunted turkeyB.— Mrs. Henry Gaiser, Coles County, Illinois.

Tha rftrpnt H«ath of Lord Wantage in Washington Streets : . (Special Letter.) |(E9JCA'S history might ajaost be~ told In the trees of Washington City; not In the long lines of rustling maples, nor the clusters of vivid oaks that clothe the capital In beauty lor nine months out of,"the twelve; but in a few gnarled old. trees whose fame has reached down through years and which -stand as monuments to the men who have made the country. First among ;tbeae is- Washington's elm, aptly termed "America's greatest monument" and planted by America's greatest man. With graceful branches that each year are as young with green as though their parent were not as old as the land, it stands bright against the historic houses about it, a worthy rival for that other The Wishing Tree. monument, the magnificent obelisk back of the White House. Beneath its ancient branches Washington seems to step out of the vague pages of history into breathing reality. It fs the only tree of the many that he had planted that survives to-day; a touch of nature that makes the modern Washingtonlan feel truly akin to the "Father of His Country." The "Barbecue" trees are two remarkably beautiful circular groves just south of the Washington elm. They were planted during President Jackson's administration for the barbecue celebrations, one grove for the use of the Democrats, the other for the Whigs. Their quaint history does not affect the children who play under their shade nor the nurse maids who roll their little charges beneath them. The tree planting fashion set by Washington has been so generally followed by his successors that the White House grounds are as green as a forest with historic oaks and elms. Cleveland represents an exception. He once said something very blunt about the nonsense of tree planting for "the name of the thing," though his wife when a bride added to the mansion grounds a blood leaf Japanese maple. A graceful American elm in the south of the grounds is treasured by the gardeners because the hands ot { John Qulncy Adams planted it there. It grows no less beautiful with the years and its story, like all stories of history, grows richer each season. President Harrison took double chances of living forever in the hearts of his countrymen by planting two trees. His once famous grandchildren, Baby McKee and his smaller sister, also dug holes and put in elm saplings that are now tall and graceful young trees. The "Bulletin" tree, a tall sylvan sentinel that guards the White House gate, has a trsjttnsjftpry. When Garfield was shot a4s\j|£>city was in a ferment of anxiety to" receive reports of his condition more continuously than the press could furnish them, the doctors in attendance decided to issue hourly bulletins, which were tacked high on the body of this especial tree. There was always a crowd about it, and as the clerks of the various Government departments passed on their way to and from the offices the crowd became a living ging the big tree never fails to come true. The park guard tells a story of a colored woman who used to drag hei tired way through the grounds every every night after a hard day's work at her place of service in the First ward, One evening she heard about the wonderful virtues of the old chestnut, and putting her weary arms around its trunk begged for a bicycle. She had hardly got out of the grounds when she picked up a fine bicycle lamp, and she plodded along her homeward way, firmly convinced that if she had only wished a little harder she would have found her bicycle. In the Botanical gardens there grows a young oak whose gracefully outstretched branches are a-quiver with shiny green leaves. An American traveler, who was paying his respects at the tomb of the great philospher who lived five hundred years before Christ and who wrote the six sacred books of the Chinese, picked an acorn from the grave and brought it as a souvenir to Charles A. Dana. Mr. Dana in turn gave it to Representative Amos J. Cummings, who was a personal friend of Superintendent Smith of the Botanical gardens. Together they planted the acorn, and now the sturdy little Chinese tree may serve also to keep green the memory of Mr. Cummings, whose death his colleagues in Congress lamented a few weeks ago. Among the interesting trees in the National .gardens are the two "Peace Oaks." They were planted in 1863 from acorns brought from Kentucky lyy John J. Crittenden and Robert Malloy of that state, both of whom strove so particularly in the interest of peace at the beginning of the civil war. From the acqrns of these historic trees Superintendent Smith raised 300 young shoots, which were recently planted on the battle of Chickamauga, Georgia. Perhaps the most apparently wonderful tree in the city is the great redwood in the Agricultural grounds —which, after all, is not a tree, but a house. The monster trunk was hewed into sections and shipped to Washington, where it was set up in the shape of a house. There is a affords a curious example of how peer* ages die oat. He was the first and last of the line, though the title was not conferred upon him in 1885 with any idea of its being only a life peerage, for he was a very wealthy.man. Lord Wantage bad no children. There has been a great deal of talk lately about model saloons that are run by peers, but it was not generally known that Lord-Wantage was the first peer to run an establishment of this kind. He started a model inn in Arlington long before the rise of the Gothenburg system, and gave the profits to local charities.

Last year there were circulated in Japan alone over 188,000 copies. No Petrified 8engs There.

Robinson interrupted him. "May I ask/' said the Indiana representative, "if this is the forest where the petrified birds sing petrified songs as they pereh on the petrified branches of petrified trees—the one where the petrified fish are swimming in petrified streams; where the petrified buffalo is seen suspended in the petrified atmosphere having tried to jump across the canon, and having been petrified in transit and still hangs there because the force of gravitation is petrified, too?" "O, no," replied Mr. Lacey, "that is in the Yellowstone. There are no petrified songs in this forest; all the songs are up to date."—Washington Times. ULMfllHEHU Krs. J. JL Haakteg, of Chieafdv 111..

From the center of this a stairway winds to a story above. The upper room has a peaked roof and large windows that look out in all directions on the grounds. The bark is over a foot thick, and in one place is charred from the effects of some camp fire built by Indians, or perhaps seme pioneer in the early days of emigration. Standing in tie rear grounds of the capitol is a tree whic'i contradicts the theory that lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Superintendent Wood declares that he has seen the dome of the capitol struck several times, and on each occasion a tiny fork has darted off at a tangent and struck the tree. However, this arboreal Ajax vigorously defies electric bolts. Though its bark is stripped off and its sturdy old trunk burnt and seared by the lightning's play, it stands like a grave sentinel silently guarding the House end of the capitol. Within the walled garden of the famous old Octagon house a lilac tree was cut down not long ago whose history is one of romance. It was called the Aaron Burr lilac, and Its death was due to old age. The lilac was made famous during the temporary residence of President Madison in the Octagon house at the time directly after the British fired the White House. The story goes that Burr was enamored of the beautiful Mistress Dolly, who promptly forbade him the house. One morning in early spring the infatuated Aaron climbed over the wall and hid in the lilac hush until he saw the President's wife, as was her custom, come into the garden to read. No sooner was she seated than he threw himself at her feet. Mrs. Madison sent him off— through the front door—and from that time on she never would have lilacs an the breakfast table, though they had always been her favorite blooms. Health will come with all Its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of right-living, with all tho term implies, bat the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should bo of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with tho beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every objectionable quality or substance.

Darrow, H o w O r i e n t a l P e o p l e W a a k . "European tourists in the east," said a traveler, ''have before now remarked on the various degrees of dirtiness manifested by the oriental races. But their dirtiness is not only to be differentiated in degree, but also in kind. Your only partially civilized man is clean in spots. Civilization might be measured by the size and number of the spots until, in the perfect civilization, I suppose, it will be all clean spot But different races put the spots in different places; so, observing this, there has grown up a saying among the Europeans in the east that the Chinese wash their clothes, but not themselves; the Japanese wash themselves, but not their clothes, and the Koreans wash neither. Were there nothing else to Judge by, it might be a pretty question whether the Chinese or the Japanese are the more civilized." r T h e E a r t h t o B e L i k e t h e Moon, The water of the earth Is all destined to disappear from the surface of the globe by being absorbed by subterranean rocks, with which it will form chemlcalcombinations. Tbe heavenly spheres exhibit sufficiently striking examples of such an evolution. The planet Mars shows what will become of the earth in some thousands of centuries. Its seas are only shallow Mediterraneans of less surface than the continents, and these do not appear to be very high, and in the appearance of the moon, all cracked and dried up, we have a view of the final state of the earth, for the absorption of the water by the solid nucleus will be followed by that of the atmosphere. _ , -- Mother always keeps it Handy. "My mother suffered a long time distressing pains and general ill health due primarily to indigestion,'' says L. W. Spaulding, Verona, Mo. "Two years ago I got her to try Kodol. She grew better at once and now, at the age of 76 eats anything she wants remarking that she fears no bad effects as she has her bottle of Kodol handy." Don't waste time doctoring symptoms. Go after the cause. If your stomach is sound your health will be good. Kodol rests the stomach and strengthens the body by digesting your food. It is natures' own tonic. At W. B. Harrow's.

T V, 'nt Pirckney V « a ^ « a - * ^ e ^ o a ^ O O ^ « 0 ^ 0 0 Linthouse district, which was lately annexed to the burgh of Govan, in the county of Benfrew, Scotland, can fairly lay claim to being a vertable "Garden of Eden." It has a population of about 7,000, and there is not a public house in the district, not even a primitive "lockup." Efforts have been made year after year to secure a pnblic house license, but fortunately without success. The parish council have vigorously opposed all these applications. The Messrs. Stephens, who are extensive shipbuilders in the district, have, in the interests of their employes, used their utmost endeavors to prevent a public house being planted in the local- { ity. But, most important of all, the people themselves, who are composed of the well-to-do artisan class, have offered a determined resistance to all attempts to plant liquor shops in their midst In respect to peace and good order, the district is a model one. The cheif constable for the county stated that the district is in the happy position of being free from the crime and disorder which is the legitimate outcome of the presence of public houses. Poisoning the System. It is through the bowels that the body is cleansed of impurities. Constipation keeps these poisons in the system, causing headache, dulness, and melancholia at first then unsightly eruptions and finally serious illness unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's Little Early Risers prevent this trouble by stimulating the liver and pro mote easy, healthy, action of the bowels. These little pills do not act violently bat by strengthening the bowel enable them to perform their own work. Never gripe or distress. At W. B, Darrow's.

FREMONT, OtOO Among the bills passed by the House during the past week was an amendment to the pension la w which provides that the widows of soldiers who have again been widowed, either by death or divorce where they are blameless, shall be restored to the pension rolls. Another amendment increases the pension of those soldiers who have lost one or more limbs and another raises from $12 to *30 per month the pensions of soldiers who are pensioned under the Dependent act of 1890 when they require regular or occasional attendance. Slight injuries often disable and cause several days when blood poison develops, sometimes result in the loss of a hand or limb. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is an antiseptic liniment. When applied to cuts, braises and burns it causes them to heal qaiekly and without maturation, and prevents any danger of blood poison. For sale by F. A. Sigler.

The images of the gods in India are not made by a separate caste, but the carpenter* and masons respectively make tho large wooden and stone Idols set up In the temples, the potters the clay idols consumed in daily worship and the braziers, coppersmiths and goldsmiths the little images in brass, copper, mixed metal and gold and silver that are always kept In private homes. The East Indians regard an alloy of brass with five other metals— goW, silver, Iron, tin and lead, making, with the oopper and sine of the brass, a mixture of light metals—as a perfect alloy, and this Is highly prised as a material for sacred images.. -IT- - i nm»«*me^mmammmTm • **• .

In New Y o r k s t a t e they electrocute for murder, and it's a worse fate t h a n hangi n g , which you know h a s t e r r o r s ^enough never to be forgotten." Charlie, acting upon t i e spur of t h e •moment, could not help giving him t h i s little thrust. It w a s a keen one. T h e other's jaw dropped, his eyes m o m e n t a r i l y rolled in a spasm of agony, and the sweat seemed to break out upon his brow. Charlie saw and was satisfied. H e had given t h e conscienceless wretch a body-blow in r e t u r n for his vile t h r e a t s . Capt. Brand's spasm lasted but a brief space of time, raid then he recovered his self-possession. T h e r e was a peculiarity about t h e captain t h a t seemed very marked--- when in a rage his eyes became quite bloodshot, and glowed like the orbs of a hyena upon the d e s e r t s of which he loved to talk. And just now they were fiery, indeed. T h e look he gave S t u a r t had murder in it, though Charlie showed no sign of alarm. Here, in this public place, the m a n would never d a r e assault him. Besides, Charlie possessed the idea t h a t be could hold his own at any time against the fellow. True, he was smaller than the captain, but a life devoted to occasional dissipation m u s t have sapped some of the astonishing powers which a generous nature had originally bestowed upon t h e worthy man of m a n y faces. But Capt. Brand restrained himself —reason had not quite deserted him. He smiled grimly, and t h e r e w a s a world of meaning in his sardonic look. "Very good, my h e a r t y ! You h a v e chosen to throw down the glove, and from this hour it's war to the knife between us. You may live to rue the day you made a n enemy out of one who held out t h e olive branch.

Charlie looked after t h e r e t r e a t i n g figure of Capt. Brand, ar.d was in doubt whether t o t a k e him seriously or consider his t h r e a t a huge joke. H e soon resolved t o dismiss from his mind Capt. Brand and all h e typified, and seek repose. He gained the sanctity of his room, -find, Itfi^^rT t h o gafl, pat down to h a v e a last deliberation ere retiring. All seemed capable of running in a smooth groove, but " t h e best laid s c h e m e s of mice and men gang aft agley," Bobby B u r n s tells us, and who h a s not found it t r u e in h i s own experience? Charlie retired. W h e t h e r h e slept soundly or not c o n c e r n s us little, b u t u n d e r t h e circumstances it is hardly probable that h i s slumber was very refreshing. T h e r e was too g r e a t a load on h i s •rind. H e felt very m u c h a s a m a n might A?ho stands upon t h e brink of a precipice. Success or failure—his whole fut u r e depended upon one little word— w a s balanced in t h e hollow of a girl's h a n d . Charlie's previous b i t t e r experience h a d caused him to feel m o r e or less caution, with a s h a d e of d i s t r u s t tow a r d t h e gentle sex, and against this h e had to fight, Could he h a v e known w h a t lay before him, under w h a t fearful condit i o n s h e was fated to win his sweetheart, even M i bold warrior m i g h t h a v e quailed a little. Tl Is J i m as well p e i b a p s , tfe&fc i l w a * t h i n g s a r e mercifully hidden from our view—just as well t h a t we need only grapple with each difficulty a s it app e a r s in view, instead of crossing bridges before we come to them. T h e day dawned. T h e r e was more or less of a bustle in t h e air. New Yonc c o n t a i n s m o r e sons of Errn t h a n probably a n y Irish city outs i d e of Dublin. And t h e s e patriotic exiles never neglect to fittingly celebrate S t Patrick's day, no m a t t e r w h a t t h e w e a t h e r may be. Charlie felt he m u s t h a v e something to distract h i s attention. Art emus was not in sight, t h e dally paper had b e e n exhausted, a a d a& a . J a s t _ r e s o r t [ he sauntered out to w a t c h the crowds. Never once did h e wander far from t h e hotel, which fact, l a t e r on, he was inclined to believe was a special dispensation of Providence. T h e magnet was t h e r e t h a t held him. Ho smoked and walked, and so t h e time dragged by until the hour of fate arrived. Charlie, the better to see and be out of the anticipated jam, had mounted a convenient carriage-stone s t a n d i n g in front of a dwelling house half a block from the hotel. Great as was t h e excitement around him, it seemed to be doubly intensified further along t h e line of m a r c h , especially in front of t h e hotel. He saw the procession break at t h i s point—melt away a& i t were. Men r a n toward t h e hotel in squads, waving their a r m s wildly. W a s it an opportunity to quench t h e thirst t h a t frequently burns Irish t h r o a t s on this glorious holiday? Charlie knew of yore all about the b a t t l e of the Boyne, and how an o r a n g e flag a r o u s e s t h e hatred of a St. P a t r i c k ' s day p a r a d e r even as t h e red flag stirs t h e maddened bull to frenzy. Had some bold and incautious soul dared to invite immolation by t h u s flaunting in their faces the color they despised? He supposed this m u s t be the case. To his surprise, however, the excitement s p r e a d — t h e crowd pressed madly forward, mounted officers came galloping back, shouting out something that at first he could, not catch. Never to his dying day would Charlie S t u a r t forget the intense anxiety of t h a t m o m e n t when he seemed to -feeLasjthough t h e fate of empires was at stake—and'OTeli^e-heaTd-distinctlj' above the roar t h e stentorian voice of a leathern-lunged officer: " T u r n out! T h e avenue is impassable! The W i n d s o r hotel is on fire! Turn o u t ! " Doubtless t h a t stentorian shout sent a shuddering ch^ll to many a h e a r t when those who heard it glanced up at the m a s s i v e pile and comprehended the h u n d r e d s of precious lives t h a t were endangered. To none could it appeal with m o r e irresistible force than to Charlie Stuart. All his hopes and ambitions on e a r t h were centered t h e r e — t h e girl he loved with heart and soul was far up in the doomed structure, p e r h a p s asleep, under the influence of an opiate, after a wakeful night with an aching brow. At first his blood seemed congealed into ice. Then it leaped through his veins like boiling lava, fresh from the throat of Vesuvius. Charlie did not w a s t e time in reflection. Time was worth m o r e than money now, worth all t h e world to him. He had leaped to the pavement like a deerhound, and dashed toward t h e hotel in g r e a t bounds. Some men would have lost tho»lr wits, but it seemed that the g r e a t e r t h e emergency t h e keener b e c a m e his mind. Even as h e ran and elbowed his way through t h e excited crowd with irresistible force, he was m a p p i n g out a- plan of campaign. Really t h e r e seems no limit to the h u m a n mind—its capacity is astonish- |~Ing~-^r^rlses~t0- nae©t-the_ emergency regardless of w h a t is needed. Now, even when- t h u s fighting his way through t h e crowd, Charlie saw t h e hopelessness of a t t e m p t i n g t o reach t h e m a i n e n t r a n c e on t h e avenue, The space for half a block was densely packed with a whooping m a s s of humanity, partly imbued with t h e eager curiosity t h a t always distinguishes crowds t h e world over, and a t t h e s a m e t i m e a chivalrous desire to be of use somehow. If ho desired t o reach t h a t door h e .'must perforce walk over t h e h e a d s of the packed crowd. A better plan suggested itself. He r e m e m b e r e d a side e n t r a n c e which would admit him much more easily. • s Now he was at the corner. * He took one look up and around. T h e picture was impressed upon t h e tablets of his memory forever. No longer w e r e handkerchiefs and green ribbons waving from t h e n u m e r o u s windows of t h e hotel— instead, panic-stricken girls t h r e w out their arnw appealing!/ a a d 6hrl2!:o4 in terror. The- JKAjoiLjsf. a i _ « v | l magician h a d touched t h e scene, and transformed it in a twinkling.

In 1815 he bought a farm in the northwest part of the town of Hamburg, and by dint of industry and economy made for himself and family a fine home with convenient surroundings. In 1S7S he. gave up farming and moved to Pinckney where he has since resided. He was mariied iu IS56 to Miss Sarah C. Myer, who with tour children, Bert C.

Some of the most frantic horered at the windows, as though ready to plunge through space If the worst came. They were crazed for the time being and could not be blamed. . Many a preeiou* Ufa went out thai fatal day, that might have been saved by the exercise of a little judgment rand coolness; for of all the attributes which mortal man inherits or acquires these prove the richest legacy in such a time of actual panic. Having taken his bearings, and discovered which way the numbers ran, Charlie started upon what he believed was the last leg of his course. Now he must speedily realize the worst; if he came upon Arline's rooms and found them empty, he would Know she was somewhere intricate passages, lost and facing death, as when he first found her. What a travesty of fate such a thing would be. Tragedies were being enacted within those walls, that had many times echoed with the sounds of gayety, and now rang with shrieks; already the greedy fire fiend had cut off many from escape, and yearned to encompass their destruction. Some doors were closed, but the majority stood <gaping wide open, whence the terrified occupants had fled Just as they were. In passing one of these Charlie had a glimpse of a lady, richly attired, bending over an open trunk, evidently *eeking to lay hold of her precious Jewel boxes ere flyirg. Mayhap they cost her what all the jewels from Cleopatra's day to this could not replace—life. Once a woman had seized upon him —crazed by fear, she clutched him as a. drowning man might a straw. Charlie could not have his mission jeopardized by such detention—he was compelled to break away, shouting at the same time for her to go to the stairs and descend while the chance remained. God only knew bow long this golden opportunity might be held out to them, for the greedy flames were making hideous headway and presently the entire fcutlding would be a charnal house. > Xil obstacles had thus far been overcome by his iron will—determined to reach and save Arline, he had swept them aside as the March wind whirls the dust out of its path. . But the end was not. Ono barrier remained. Charlie suspected it not until the *tfrlng burst upon him, sudden and un- •erpected as lightning from the clear csky overhead. Again a detaining hand. t I'his time it brought his forward movement to a complete stop, and she realized there was something more various in the detention than when the poor groveling chambermaid had clutched his knees. ( It was a man; through the haze he had seen his presence without paying the least attention to him, and now the fellow, pro I: ably as terrified as the women, frantically clung to him. j "To the stairs or the fire escape! —let go!" shouted Charlie, and when the other laughed with devilish glee in his ear Stuart turned his head to see close to his own the face of the bogus Capt. Brand, transformed by passion into the countenance of a fiend. Was It accident or deep design that brought Macauley to this floor of the hotel at such a tragical moment? Wben Charlie felt that grip on his arm and looked into the maddened orbs of the ogre, be seemed to realize that a great crisis in his life had arrived. The stake was Arline's love. This man might be innocent or guilty ot murderous design, but appearances were mightily against him. His manner indicated as plainly as words: "This far shall you come and tio farther." Instinct warned Charlie to prepare tor the worst, to throw himself into a position that was aggressive even while defensive. It was a wise precaution, for the •other, even while he continued to .glare malevolently into his face, suddenly threw himself, upon Stuart. As he expected, Charlie found Macauley a man gifted with tremendous muscular power. Like trained athletes, the two men whirled around, each seeking the downfall of the other. To Charlie each second meant a closer approach of doom, while with the other the passage of time brought savage satisfaction, aa his base plans .grew Mirer realisation. Xftarlia rttractad a step muttering *r«!7 atott of powtr la nit muscular ft* tip flora widen ha meant art \ to spring upon the already gloating enemyr~"r ~ "t" • T ^ v 7": "" Macauley was drunk with the success that had teemed to be already ...within his grasp. He thus could ha taken off his guard, and once in retreat, complete rout must follow. So sudden was the attack, so overwhelming in its resistless energy that the ogre fell back in confusion, hardly knowing Just how to meet so strange a rally. And Stuart followed it up—he knew full well that what was worth doing at all was worth doing well. He waa bent on ending the struggle then, and there—in order to do so most effectively he let out still another kink, and surprised his enemy with a succession of tricks that com* pleted his utter demoralisation. It was the work of a gladiator. Charlie, having stunned the ogre with a multiplicity of shorVarm blows, hurled him In a shuddering heap aside, and found himself once more free to go forward. CHAPTER XV. When Charlie Kissed Her. The flames had been making hideous progress while this mad encounter took place, and already their -the | red .tongues ieaped—into-vlew at the further end of the corridor. Charlie was panting like a hunted stag, hardly able to catch his breath in that smoke-burdened atmdsphere^— yet, no sooner had he hurled his enemy to the floor, and found the coast clear, than he started along the hallway. The numbers on the doors now stood out plainly enough, thanks to the illumination afforded by tho flames, and he knew he was close to where Arline might be found. He saw the door was closed. It gave him a shock—then she had not escaped with the first—she must still be within her room. , He pounced upon the knob and turned it. Horrors! There was no response —the door utterly refused to give way, being locked within. Charlie pounded with his fist upou the panel. "Open the door, Arline! Open, for God's sake! The hotel is on Are!" Apparently he shouted loud enough to arouse the dead, yet no answer came from beyond. Stuart knew of but one resource left—it was a desperate case, and required a desperate remedy. He raised his foot. One mighty blow shivered the lock as completely as though a battering ram had been brought to bear against it. The door flew open Nothing barred his progress now, and with a bound the Briton was in the room. Arline lay upon a Turkish lounge —the crash of the door had done what all else had failed to accomplish, for she had just raised her head and was staring at him with eyes dilating in horror as they discovered the whirling clouds of smoke that curled lu' after him. Charlie ran to assist the girl to her feet, at the same time calling: "The hotel is on fire, but be brave, and 1 will save you, If possible!" His .manner calmed her more than all else. She looked into his face, and although her voice trembled, she kept a brave front as she said: thpugh the man wtofr«< » • great love that wat - UNDER TH0 HUNCH CAPITAL the •«ii".'i 'i, w-fr —it was as ^er^tb know in hit heart before they faced the dreadful ordeal which might be their destruction. As though he tnlgh* thus *JJJ ' - » • £u 1?mJrTTTLJ^J seal his claim upon the woman he i b r { « n t . * * « W t a t t a f , *• W f r M adored, even though together they were doomed to Journey toward an* other world. "Come!'Have courage, my darling/' he said. Probably few men on earth have been given so strange an opportunity to declare their love, and under such conditions who could envy Charlie Stuart the brief spasm of delight which he experienced, for the first time he passed his arm about Arline'3 waist with a sense of proprietorship. Love is a strong factor in the race —the girt might have been rendered frantic with fear had she found herself alone face to face with t h e threatening destruction, but with his strong arm to lean upon, and the knowledge of his declared passion to sustain her, she could meet the dread 4ssue with courage. And it required all the nerve she possessed to keep from screaming when once in the hall she saw the avalanche of roaring fire at the farther end. Charlie led her directly toward it, yet she trusted him implicitly—it waB a glorious symbol of the power he was to exercise in all time to come, if so be they escaped with their lives. The stairs at last Another minute and it might have been too hazardous to attempt, a descent— but that small space of time has won kingdoms ere now. Down one flight—that much was saved them at any rate, even should the worst happen. When they started upon the second descent, it was like running the gauntlet; fingers of fire stretched out yearningly toward them, and one even came so close that Arline involuntarily uttered a scr.eam, thinking Charlie, who had thrust his body on that side, was doomed. This narrow escape told him that it would be utterly impossible to make any further use of the stairway in advancing their cause, since below it was wreathed in flames. Their only course was to retreat from the fire as far as possible, and there await rescue or provide for it through their own ingenuity. Still they heard the shrieks of fear- U M t V U t l t : ' * * HOTW DAM1, - H«tn» ft^mt, Indiana. _ _ ^ Dark and Damp Cave* Below Paris Pavements. The Paris of the pavement, 'gay, miliar to u» all, tut aadergroand Parlay dark, solitary and damp, extending for miles, is comparatively unknown. A part of this area is devoted to the catacombs—a valley of dry bones, a garden ot the dead; the rest a garden still more vast, provides for the wants, or rather the luxurias, of the l i v i n g - it i t devoted to mushroom culture. These subterranean passages extend for some twenty miles under the gay capital and are from twenty feat to 160 feet beneath thew surface. i t la very difficult to obtain permission to visit them* and when permit' tlon is obtained it requires some courage to avail oneself of it, for the only entrance la a circular opening like the mouth of a well, out of which a long pole stands. Through ' this pole, fastened at the top only, at fairly long intervals, sticks are thrust. This primitive ladder, the base of which swings like a pendulum in the impenetrable darkness below, is the only means of reaching the caves. "Here," again cried our guide, with a burst of cheerfulness, "see this door! On the other side are the catacombs —as full rooms." We smiled.

Sonoma, Mich., July 21st,—Mr. Deles Hutchins of this place says: "If I could have had Dodd'a Kidney Pills 25 years ago I would not now be crippled as I am." Mr. Hutchins spent from 1861 to 1864 In the swamps of Louisiana as a northern soldier and with the result that he contracted Rheumatism which gave him much pain till Mr. Fred Parker, tbe local druggist, advised him to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first two boxes did not seem to help him very much, but Mr. Parker, knowing that Dodd's Kidney Pills would * eventually cure hi to, pressed Mr. Hutchins to continue and by the time four boxes were used the short, sharp, shooting pains which had- tor- I tured his back, hip, and legs were | entirely gone.

Such a scene of horror must haunt one while life lasts, so fraught with human suffering and the utter inability to render aid. He had not calculated wrongly; while the smoke remained more dense than ever, the danger of immediate fire was not so great, although he saw it pushing toward them from three separate and distinct quarters, as though closing in upon its victims. An open window at the end of the hall was Charlie's objective point. He had hopes of discovering there the iron ladder that would enable those who had the nerve to grasp its rounds to drop to safety below. Alas! disappointment awaited him, keen and cutting, since there was no such avenue of escape provided in this quarter. It was a dizzy distance down to the street, and only a maddened brain could conceive the idea of leaping out Into space. "I trust_yini with—my life, Charliat-I—Charlie-leaned out to survey the . . i • • « * , . , Tell me what to do, and God help us both!" Brave little woman! That was what he thought her then and there—he had believed it on that former occasion, when she wandered in the dark Steen dungeons and passages, and now it was made doubly sure. It would have been worth something to Stuart at this critical juncture, could he have become possessed of the valuable information which the fallen ogre had held regarding the ways and means of reaching a fire escape. As it was, he found himself cast upon his own resources and compelled to make a virtue of necessity. One thing was absolutely certain-- he could not count on assistance, and if they escaped it must be through his persistent and determined work. Then, again, he kept before his mind the fact that escape must be downward—that flight to the roof would only render their immolation the more certain. Each story they could descend would take them nearer the street and increase their chances of being assisted through the medium of the fire ladders. Charlie had taken his bearingshe knew the fire had not as yet spread over the entire building, though the smoke must have done so ere now. The stairs he had ascended were still free from flames, though this could not long be said, as they were in jeopardy. Snatching up a cloak which ha found, he pressed It about Arllno. Some craze must have been running riot in his veins at the time, for as her sweet face came close to his own he deliberately kissed her; nor did she by look or word protest—there was something almost holy in the act situation. Immediately a roar of warning arose from thousands of throats below, while arms waved him back, doubtless under the belief that he meant to take the mad plunge. He was not quite reduced to such an insane policy—his resources had not yet been exhausted. Charlie had his bearings now—he remembered the lay of the land— surely there must be a better chance of escape in the rear. Turning into another corridor.which led In the desired quarter, he pushed on. Arline clung to his arm with I whitened face and eyes that reflected the horror of her soul, but, thank Heaven! as yet her steps did not falter, nor did ahe give any Blgns of collapse, while his great courage remained to buoy her soul up. The situation grew more intense with every passing second, and Charlie knew all too well that unless fortune speedily gave them an opening it would be too late, since the fire waa now sweeping with remorseless fury over the main portion of the doomed structure. Charlie Stuart knew he had to solve the proble-mof his existence, as well as that of the gentle being who clung so eagerly to his arm. No man was ever better equipped for the fray. He had everything to urge him on to superhuman efforts -r abounding life, with all that means to a healthy young man, and, besides, the knowledge that he was beloved by the girl to whom bis heart had gone out.

He is the uncreated Creator, but the words convey no meaning whatever to our minds. If you Toc*^ through the Lick telescope at Arcturus you see very little more than with the naked eye, and if the profoundest lopks at the Almighty he sees very little more than the unlettered peasant Still Arcturus is in the sky, whether you can peer into bis secret or not, and God is in your life, though your most searching thought returns to you empty handed. The very words omnipotent and omnipresent have an unthinkable signification, and when the man of science tells us that space i s absolutely limitless, that it consists of horizons which are simply endless in number, we accept the fact, but have no more conception of it than the microbe in a watch has of the delicate machinery whose ticks are a continuous roll of thunder in its ears. What, then, you ask, is the basis of a religion which demands such self-controt and self-sacrifice? If these problems will a*lways remain insoluble, and if you can know so little of the Being who demands your soul's allegiance, why may not religion itself be a mistake? Many a heart has been engloomed by these thoughts and many a mind befogged by them. True religion is independent of any purely intellectual theory of the universe, and Is founded on facts proven true by the universal experience of mankind. This statement is easily illustrated by childhood. The little one does not understand its mother, has no comprehension whatever of a mother's love or of the significance of a mother's discipline. If the baby were gifted with speech and could describe its relations to that mother it would make as many misstatements as we do in describing our relations to God. The mother's providence Is wholly misunderatood: even her watchful care looks like interference with the child's rights, and the child might say, as Calvin did of the Almighty, that "of her own good pleasure" she pets at one moment and punishes at another. The knowledge that punishment and love are entirely consistent with each other, or that mother is Extract from Sermon by the Lsvto George H. Hepwerth still mother even when the child's prayer is sternly denied, is beyond the reach, of that narrow intellect, and will be for many a year to come. Mothers and children sometimes get at odds for this reason, and in like manner we a^at-^>dda_withJhe_4^ But when we come to be men our minds are large enough to settle certain matters of practical Importance. It Is needleas to theorize, for harsh experience tells us truths which cannot be gainsaid. The microbe In the watch has learned his lesson and knows that some journeys are dangerous, while others are safe, and from that moment he has a plan of life. He constructs a decalogue for himself, and the "Thou Bhaltnof" lathe voice of imperial law, not forbidding him through caprice, but because an infraction of the law is followed by loss and remorse. Every man knows that there is a right and a wrong; has been taught this by many tears and failures; that love brings sunshine, and hatred the tempest; that filial relations with the Infinite result in Berenity of soul, a resignation to harsh events which changes them from a curse to a blessing by some necromancy whose secret he cannot fathom, while hostile relations end In loneliness and desperation; that Integrity of character is worth all its costs to acquire and defend it. Add to all this the prophetic longing for another life, which no argument can suppress, a longing that, like the spring on the mountain side, will have its way, and a curious conviction, which seems to be a component part of his nature, that !n ways unexplained the dear ones in heaven can find a path to earth, drawn by a love which was sacred and strong before the funeral bells tolled, and is equally strong and sacred now. and you have an array of facts, corroborated by every human life in every clime and every age. That is the basis of the kind of religion which Christ taught. He gave us no explanation of mysterious problems, but simple truth Instead—truth most needful and altogether practical. Build your faith on that foundation and the gates of hell shall not prevail against It. Earth will become the primary school for God's University, and God Himself the Teacher, whose love is no more loving than is His discipline.—George H. Hepworth. 7TIM WtLLINQ TO APOLOGIZE. Wakened. Hotel Quest to Express Regret for Noisy Argument Tim Donahue, the baseball catcher, wife'died recently at Taunton, Mass., figured in more food stories than any other player before the public. One of Tina's characteristic lUberjiicisms was perpetrated at Hot Springs- Both the Chicago and Minneapolis teams were training there and one night there was a fanning match In "Billy" Moran** room. Ryan, Kittridge, "Noisy Pete" Cassldy, and some others were arguing. The argument grew so noisy that a traveling man in the next room beat on the door and said: "For heaven's sake you fellows keep quiet. TVe got to catctran early-train and want some sleep." After that the argument was less uproarious, and an hour later when all was subdued, Moran, an inveterate joker, said to Tim: "Tim, It's an infernal shame the way you treated that traveling man." "The way I treated him?" said Donahue indignantly. "Why, you fellows were making all the noise." Of course the entire crowd supported Moran and Tim lost the argument Finally he said: ••Weil, if I didn't"treat him right I'm ready to apologize," and straightway he went into the hall, beat on the traveling man's door, waked him and apologized. What the traveling man said cannot be printed. OAU8K9 Palpitation of the Heart, Cold Haste ass Feet, Sinttaf FeeUn{»—Pe-ni-aa Cores Catarrh Wherever Located.

What a miserable lot would be ours* if we could only have access to Him on the Sabbath. But thank God it is not so. He is just as near us in the midst of our humble dally toil as He is when we are worshipping Him in the sanctuary. K is when we are vexed with the cares and anxieties of daily life, that we need Him the most, and just here is rw«here, *f we will, He becomes the most precious to us. Have you ever stopped for a moment when almost overcome by some perplexing dally duty, and sent up a word of prayer to your lord for wisdom to properly perform your task? If not, then you have missed one of the most blessed privileges that the Christian may enjoy. Every child of God knows there la such a thing as "grace to help in time of need," but we can only begin to comprehend the wonderful power of His grace, when we strive to realize every moment of every day that He is close beside us every step we take, and is "a very present help" in every duty that we may be called upon to perform.—George D. Gelwicks. Cannot Be Touched by Wiles of Women, It Is Said. A coronation visitor to London from South Africa tells an Interesting story, which Is going the rounds of the clubs, which serves to illustrate the prevailing impression that Lord Kitchener is proof against the beauty and blandishments of all women. When the new commander arrived at Cape Town, a beautiful Boer spy, who was suspected of using her fascinations on susceptible officers as a means of obtaining military intelligence, tried her wiles on the grim warrior. She secured an audience from which, however, she retreated presently in great haste and confusion, saying to a companion who had waited outside: "I'll try any other man, but not that living death's head. No wonder he conquered in Egypt. I think he;d conquer in Hades."

"Yes," said he, and pulled some of them out of his pocket -Well," said the captain, "haven't yon a church certificate?" "Oh, yes, but I didn't suppose yon wanted to look at that" "Yes," said this seasoned .sailor, "I want to see that" Then the old, captain, with a Jpod deal of earnestness, added: "As noon «a you get to the city prevent that to eome atttftaiT fturtti 11 W&Jfld tailor aad have been up and dowl in tew world, and it to my rule, as toon as I get into port, to fasten my ship fore and aft to the wharf, although It may cost a Utile wharfage, rather than have her out in the stream float* ing hither and thither in the tide."

Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis, the well-known Philadelphia novelist, tells this anecdote in the Congregationalism "I am reminded of some of the whimsical doings of the late George W. Childs, who put so much humor and keen perception of character into his kindness as to make charity a fine art For example, a pretty, hardworking student won a prize at the academy which entitled her to a year's study in Paris. Mr. Childs sent for her and eyed her critically. "Been inquiring about you, Miss Blank. Only chftd of your mother and she a widow. Have just sent her a check which will give her a year in Paris, too. Too many pretty art students over there already trotting up and down the Latin quarter alone. Mother goes with you. That's all. Good-day." He had an innumerable acquaintance among poor ministers and clerks and young "girls^of-good-birth,but withno-monex —the people who can just pay their way, but to whom the extra dollar is a luxury. He took a keen delight in startling them with undreamed of comforts and pleasures known only to the rich. The half-starved clergyman had his three months in Europe, the clerk received a paid-up life Insurance for his children, the penniless bride was made happier for life by a pretty trousseau, a good stock of napery and silver to carry into her new home.

Bailey, managing editor of the Philadelphia Record, had a large fund of stories and anecdotes concerning typesetters' mistakes. As Is generally known, his career on the Record began in the composing room, from the foremanship of which he was raised into the executive editorial position he held until the time of his recent death. One evening when a member of the Record staff was looking through his proofs and grumbling at the arbitrary divisions of words made by the typesetters, Mr. Bailey told of a "comp" who once divided the word "horses," making a syllable of "nor" and driving "ses" into the next line. The proof reader, of course, marked "horses" to be put undivided into one line. When the marked proof reached the typesetter he waxed indignant, called the attention of his fellows to what he termed the proof reader's ignorance, and, after explaining the circumstances, declared himself as follows: "If that ain't the way to divide •horses,' how in the devil should it be divided r Only a mean man enjoys seeing another man's wife smoke a cigarette.

I will always be your debtor* I have already jnecommended Perunm to my friends and neighbors and they all praise It I wish that all suffering women would try It. I testify this according to the truth."—Mrs. X. Schneider. Over, half the women have catarrh in some form or another. And yet, probably, not a tenth of the women know that their disease is catarrh. To distinguish catarrh of various organs it has been named very differently. One woman haa dyspepsia, another bronchitis, another Blight's another liver complaint, another consumption, another female complaint. These women would be very much surprised to hear that' they are all suffering with chronic catarrh. Bat it ia sov nevertheless. Each one of these troubles and a great? many more are simply catarrh—thai lay chronic inflammation of the mucous, lining of whichever organ to affected. Any internal remedy that will core catarrh in one location will cure it in aay other. This is why Pernna has become so justly famous in the care of female diseases. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its cures remain* Peruna does not palliate—it cures, Hon. Joseph B. Crowley,Cong 1 ussinils' from Illinois, writes from Robinson, l i t , the following praise for the great catarrhal tonic Peruna.

The report that the Henderson-Ames Co. dlrectora, complained against for perjury, wilj make a full confession of the affair at the examination thit week is doubtless due to au incomplete understanding of the affair.

Marsh, told a story of the military supplies' transaction which Prosecuting Attorney Tuttle believes to be true. They can do no more. Attorney R. C. Ostrander- is not prepared to outline his defense of the accused directors, but it is not believed that unless Col. Sutton is brought to trial the cases against the director* will be pushed as hard as they would otherwise be. The Henderson-Ames directors have, beside aiding the grand jury in unearthing the plot, reimbursed the Ptate for the loss on the military supplies' deal without any assistance from the other conspirators, and they have suffered Injury to their business, beside a great "deat ofunxtcty;—Their-- legal expenses, in addition to the money paid to the state, has not been a trifling sum. reported she is getting along as well as could be expected, and her recovery is not improbable, although the bullet passed entirely through her body.

Reports from correspondents show that the storm Monday noon was quite | general through the lower part of the state, and did considerable damage to crops. At Lapeer hail fell with tho rain. Crops on some farms were laid flat on the ground as though cut by a machine. Corn was twisted out by the roots. Fruit trees were also con slderably damaged. One farmer reports a total loss of his season's crop except hay. At Lansing 'nearly an inch of hail fell In an hour. Crops In the. country were more or less damaged. At Durand, where previous rains this month did a good deal of damage, Monday's storm has well nigh discouraged farmers.

Two lives were blotted out in the waters of Cass lake Sunday afternoon through the sinking of a rowboat contain ins three members of a picnic party from Petvoit.

At the Hotel Maltby, Lansing, late Thursday afternoon Mrs. Nellie Messier, a Ki-year-old woman, was shot by Lee Harton, a 16-yenr-old boy. All the indications point to accident as the solution of whut mystery there is surrounding the case. Mrs. Messier's husband, who is but 19 years old, is an employe of the Olds Motor Works. The couple were married In Jackson about a year ago. The girl, whose maiden name was Nellie Dietrich, came from Clark's Lake. They came to Lansing, and her husband secured employment, tho couple living with the Ilartous, who conduct a boarding bouse. Here the boy, Lee. made the acquaintance of the young wife, and as shown by his statements after the shooting, the acquaintance became intimate. Messier removed from the Harton place recently, and took his wife to the Maltby. Young Harton had been a frequent caller at the rooms occupied by the couple at the hotel. The woman had been shot with a oS-cMlibor, bulldog revolver, the bullet striking her over the heart and lodging in her right shoulder. When she was borne from the hotel to the hospital she was faint from loss of blood. She made a statement, that the shooting was accidental. This the boy also claims. He explains that he had procured the revolver to shoot mud turtles, and was exhibiting it to the woman, when it was accidentally discharged P i n c h e d t h e G a n g . What Is alleged to be a gang of pickpockets struck Durand Saturday evening, but before they had time to mature plans' for action Deputy Sheriff Hovey with his deputies swept down upon then* and placed them in the cooler.

Now that the Supreme Court has sustained the constitutionality of the anti-coiored oleomargarine law. the dairy an iood department proposes to see that the law is enforced to the letter. Numerous prosecutions have been commenced in various counties, samples taken and analyzed in other counties with a view to commencing prosecutions. Tho accused were bound over to the Circuit Courts, and proceedings have there been stalled pending the decision of the Supreme Court in the case appealed to that tribunal. The department is placing a copy of the Supreme Court decision in the lmnds of every dealer In the state, with the information that the law will be strictly enforced. Dealers who now sell the prohibited article will be deemed to do so wilfully. It costs $31.62 per capita to govern the city of New York, and, considering the sort of government the people of the metropolis get, and considering other facts, also, the price is infernally steep.

This day had finished the loading of the vessel for her trip across the ocean, an4 now, as the sun was sinking behind the shrouds of the ship to .the west, the.stevedores filed in front of the officer who was checking off and paying for the hours they had worked. As they received their money the stevedores passed across to the wharf or stopped for a few minutes' conversation with each other, or with some of the sailors who chanced to be near. One of them dropped unnoticed through a hatchway and slipped back into the hold, where the freight had been stowed. Then he made his way among the boxes and bales until he came to a narrow space which had evidently been left by design, for it was long enough for a man to stretch at full length in it and contained water and crackers enough to keep off starvation for a week or ten days. After the young stevedore had crowded into it, he drew a case in front of the opening to prevent discovery *uy a possible prowler or inspector of the freight Then he made himself as comfortable aa he_could in the narrow space and chuckled at the prospect of reaching the other side without cost. He thought exultantly of what he would do when he got there, and of the other strange lands he would visit before returning home. There was no sense in people spending money to travel when a little shrewdness and a bold face would answer just as well. He had $3 in his pocket, the sum paid him on deck a half hour before, but that was as much as he usually had ahead these days. He had given up work, except in case of necessity; and even the $3 would not have bee I * • Slipped back Into the hold, earned had not this trip across the ocean been planned as part of the fain. For an hour he remained awake listening to the sound* on deck and exulting in his own shrewdness; then, weary with, tbe day's labor, his head leaned forward, and be sank into a sound sleep, Late the nelterejrinf jha vessel was to begin n W r o y a t e , and\ during the early part of the day his attention was occupied by the sounds of pas* sengers coming on board and of baggage and the last consignments of freight being stowed away. But at length, listening became monotonous, and even his own thoughts, exultant though they were, grew wearisome. He was not accustomed to being alone or to self-communion. During the past few years, when not asleep, he had generally been with boon companions on a street corner, or with them he had been in some mischief. He tried to keep up his interest in the sounds on deck, and think of the fun ahead of him, rather than of the past. But Drew himself up onto wharves. he could not; it all kept surging over him, again and again, and when he would thrust it away, it returned only more strongly and persistently. Yet he was not leaving much, after all, he told himself, grimly; he had not had a home for three years; he had no position, no friends, no prospects; even the boon companions would scarcely inquire after or regret him. Of all the world there was only just one who believed in and trusted him, and he had not seen her for three years. There had been months when he had not even thought of her or of the little rocky farm which he had left because it was too slow. She had never doubted him for a momont, or coaoodto—think-of-tae^a spear point, time when he was to provide lovingly Down here in the depth of the hold, alone^ witfcltrtrythiag ft* h g r Known about to he left behind, all heart bid suddenly grown tender and sore. It ht be' years fcfforev he f would see gjsnU* oJd*fffie again, and *.t-tbt ion*at'We'Angers reacted fcf the litter and drew I r o n * sofGrand tenderly. Bat it-was already dark in the hold and he could not see. J'or a moment he stroked it re* morsefully, then he pushed the case aside and groped his way out among the boxes and bales. He would seek the hatchway or some place where there was light enough to read the letter. He must And out what the old mother had to say; and he would return— he would—and do everything that he had promised. He would go back to the-little farm and take care of the mother In her old age. He could make a living there, and that was more than he was sure of in a city. For an hour there had been the final sounds of departure overhead, but he had not noticed this. As he went forward, however, he was conscious of a peculiar sensation of rising and falling, which told him that the ship was under way. The hatchway was not closed, but even there it would have been too dark.but for a light somewhere above, which sent a dull shaft into the hold. In this he opened the letter and read: "Dear Sammy: "I'm down with the rheumatics, an' the doctor says' 't will be a long time 'fore I'm out. The nabors are good, but they can't leave their own work an' do mine. I'm 'feared, Sammy, if you don't come, the farm will have to be sold. 'Tain't wuth much, but I can't look out for it any more. But don't feel bad, dear boy, if you can't come. It's only rheumatics I've got. "Ever your loving mother." The young man choked; there was an unmistakable sob. In a moment he had clambered up the hatchway. A few passengers were standing near the rail or lounging about; but no officers were in sight. It was nearly dark. Slipping back to the stern of the vessel, which was almost deserted, the young man glanced about wearily. The wharves were a mile away and were shadowy outlines; but he did not mind that, for he was a strong swimmer and a bold one. What he feared was the frustration of a plan which had suddenly formed in his mind. No one was watching him, however, and presently grasping a rope, he swung himself over the side and from the end of the rope he dropped into the water. Two hours later he drew himself up on one of the wharves, nearly exhausted, but with a look on his face that had not been there for years. "Now for home," he said aloud; "straight for home." Then he disappeared in the shadow of the great warehouses. THE RAGIKG FLOODS. DorsMta-tifra of Crops la Iowa, n - llmoj* MMA Missouri pa—eg Sufferis*. The flood conditions are much, worse, and the Mississippi river 1» from two to ten miles wide for seventy-five miles below Keokuk, la., and rising rapidly. The flood- Is reaohing far outlying farms hitherto missed and farmers in the lowlands on the Missouri side have lost everything but their citadels on high knolls and a few fields behind the highest levees. Damage is also oceurrlisg^ Qn the. Illinois side* between Keokuk and Quincy, where there are mnny thousands of acres on the riverside levees, and the levees themselves not being entirely efficient, water 1» working through at the site of the flood gates. The greatest damage is on the Missouri side of the Mississippi river, between Keokuk and Hannibal, territory covering 300 square miles, and on vvhlch the corn was estimated at *H) bushels to the acre a few days ago. Hundreds of farmers are tenants, who lost crops by last year's drought in the uplands, and moved to the lowlands this year. They are now penniless ami are hunting work in towns and cities, The damage done up the Mississippi river is greater than was expected or at first reported. One township. Green Bay, is six or seven feet under water. It contains more than 11,000 acres of crops. Families there were driven out hurriedly and some cattle were drowned. Corn was the very finest in this section of the country last week. The levee, eight miles north of Burlington, broke, inundating three square miles that had been considered safe. The Skunk river, the most damaging tributary of the Mississippi, is roaring down a flood approached but twice tn the history of the state, in 18T>1 and 1892. The water topped the record of 1892 and touched the highest record of 1S51. This river rises in the center of Iowa and empties into the Mississippi, twenty-five miles north of Keokuk, and greatly increases the flood at points below. Thousands of acres are submerged In Appanooz county, Iowa, and them 1-3 much small grain caught in the fields. The crop in other places is chiefly corn. A new element which has appeared all over the submerged section of Iowa is disease among stock from the condition of pasturage after the temporary subsistence of the waters.

When some of his worst escapades had been reported she had smiled wistfully, butJiopefully. "Sammy's young," she had said, "an' doesn't realize. He's a good boy an' will do better when he's older. Him an' me's goin* to live together ag'ln some time; he'll be lay In' by for it pretty soon." ? Something swelled in the young man's throat as he remembered how many times he had heard her say that and how many times he had declared, in moments of boyish repentancer-that he was going to take care of her when he was a man. Even after he left he had once written home that he was "goin' to git some money laid by pretty soon." All through these three years she had written regularly and lovingly, and though he had answered only briefly and at long interval her faith in him had not for an instant wavered. Even now be had a letter in his pocket, received three day* before, and not yet open** Southwestern Vegetation Either Armed or Armored. Writing in The Century of the Southwest (Arizona and New Mexico particularly), Ray Stannard Baker has this to say of the self-protected plants of the desert spaces: "In the green hills one loves lo lie on the grass, to brush against the trees, to pick a twig here and there and taste the tart sap, but the desert allows no such familiarity. Everything that lives within its confines is either armed or armored. Every cactus stalk is covered with a myriad of spikes and hooks as sharp as needles, that warn one to keep his distance. Thread not on the cactus with your heavy shoes even, for the barbed spines will often pierce thick leather; every rider of the plains has had the experience of picking cactus spines from his bare flesh. The mesquit tree, which is a near relative to the honey locust, is covered with thorns, so that you trespass at your peril; the cat's claw strikes at you as you pass, tearing your clothing and lacerating your skin. Even the agaves and the yuccas, the green foliage of which looks soft enough in the distance, are armed with leaves each of which is a double-edged sword with The leave* of the The M«rffan Ship Trnnt. Whitelaw Reid, speaking at a banquet in his honor by the American chamber of commerce in Ix>ndon said: "If you have sustained the threatened dangers of recent years you can surely face with equanimity the terrors of the Pierpont Morgan venture. I suggest that the apprehension aroused by the recent change in shipping with which his name is identified is somewhat exaggerated. "The monopoly In this case is fanciful. None has been created. 1 think ' none is desired, and I know none can ' be successful." j Mr. Reid maintained that the Morgan combine obviated violent fluetua- | tions in rates and insured to Great i Britain a neutral fleet in which its j food could be borne in spite of any : possible enemy. | "I do not for a moment admit j possibility of war between our ' nations." said Reid.

Two powder magazines at the 1.200- foot level of the Daly-West mine, one of the largest silver producers in Utah, exploded about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning, causing a loss of life that at present cannot be estimated nor even guessed at. At 4 o'clock ?>o men had been taken out of the mine dead and several others had been removed in a halfdazed condition. These were all brought out through the Ontario mine shaft, which is a mile distant from the Daly-West, in which the explosion occurred. The 1,200 level of the Daly-West corresponds to and is connected by tunnel with the 000 level of the Ontario.. In the Daly-West mine between 10/) and l.!K) men were at work. In the Ontario were nearly 100, it is believed. It is not known how many of these are dead, but the disaster extends to the Ontario, as the noxious gases that Lave beeu freed are known to be the cause of several of the deaths. The presence of these gases loads many miners to believe that the powder was burned and that the explosion was not the chief cause of the disaster. the two re- A Ghastly Slsht. A Creek Indian boy, Charles Mingo, of Tulsa, I. T., was found dead securely fixed on the horns of a wild Texas steer. He had evidently been there all night. When found the steer was trying to dislodge the boy by rubbing against tb* banks of a small ravin* in which the animal was standing, completely tired out from an all night's* ruu. The other cattle were standing about him, greatly excited. The steer was immediately shot and the body taken from its horns. The | boy was terribly mangled and bruised I by the bt>rns, one of which ran clear i through the body. j The boy was seeu playing on Coal creek in tbe^orsyrhe-pa^tUTr;-and~iT Boer n Act Inn- Ugly. The settlement of the annexed territories is causing considerable friction. This is especially noticeable in the bitter hatred and persecution on the part of the Boers who stayed in the field to the end of the war. It is said some of these national scouts have been shot or beaten. So intense is the feeling that many of the burghers who fought consistently to the end distinguish themselves from those who surrendered during the war by wearing a green badge. — Many burghers declare they were induced to surrender by the false representations of their leaders, who painted the terms too rosily. The majority of the Boers have apparently in no way abandoned their independent ideas, and some of them preach the advisability of opening Dutch schools so as to keep alive their nationality. The whole situation so bristles with difficulties that there are not lacking those who doubt if the document signed May ,'U was really the final settlement of the trouble. Gen.

Swindlers carrying several thousand dollar's worth of notes and contracts are working the farmers of Central Michigan. Eighteen years ago agents of a hedge fence company of southern Michigan sold thousands of dollars worth of hedge fence through Michigan for $1 a rod, agreeing to cultivate the fence at four regular periods and plant it in a way to make it stock proof, taking the purchase price in four installments. They made two visits as per agreement then the company failed. The fences were not kept up and many of them were pulled out. The notes and contracts now turn up in the hands of speculators, who are traveling over the country threatening the fanners with court proceedings unless they settle, notwithstanding; the fact that the deal was outlawed years ago. —Free Press. Too Hilarious. It is seldom that the people of this village are treated to such an exhibition of drunken rowdvism as took place on our streets Friday night. Three men by the names of Frazer, Pond and Jacobs came to town and proceeded to load up with firewater. It is said that they were somewhat under the influence of liquor when they came to town but of that we cannot say. Thev soon became to noisv for even the saloon and the marsh all was called upon and the place was closed up. They then took possession of the street in front of the hotel and for an honr or more people living in that vicinity were forced to hear their vile talk. The man Frazer was the most offensive and the people of this village will demand the severest punishment that can be enacted out for such an offense. The sheriff has the matter in hand.

It was one of the best games seen in this- part of the county this season and with Frank Barnnm in the box it was almost impossible for the Iosco boys to connect with his twisters. - A Urge crowd of young people en joyed the evening at a social hop in the Maccabee ball in the evening.

The association met at the court house in Howell Tuesday July 29 and was largely attended notwithstanding the very busy season for farmers. * The meeting was opened by singing and prayer followed by an earnest debate on the question "Should farmers organise?" led by Mr. Backus who thought they should, but there was one drawback, each farmer is always trying to cut each others throat. Mr. Smith said the farmer was too busy but they should organise. They are the producers and should try and benefit themselves. Mr. H. Reed—Farmers are a mutual and one need not neglect the crops and I weeds if we spend a short time in attending Farmer's clubs. Organized farmers need not be a trust. W. P. Johnson—I am not afraid of these trusts as much as I am the money power back of the government. The beef and corn trust has been a great benefit to the farmer in that it has raised the prices of beef and corn. C. E. Dunston—Clubs should organize as it is a great uplift in a social way. I cannot see why the intelligent farmer does not organize. Mrs. R. R. Smith—I am in great favor of farmers organizing as we are in closer touch with each other. Mrs. H. Reed—The farmers clubs has been a great benefit to all farmers in a social way and has helped in so many ways of work, but do we AS farmers want to be led by a leader here and there as he wishes. The Curtis orchestra composed of violin horn, trombone and organ then treated the audience to some fine mnsiev— The telephone committee reported that as far as can be learned those who have telephones would not do without them. It is not a diffcult thing to operate a rural telephone. Where a telephone is iu t, farm home the value of property is raised The Waterloo»telephone line was the one mentioned by the committee and all the shares they ask for has been raised and few over. The connection with phones in Howell was all favorable but the company will not go any further north thin Howell and the people in that direction desired one that did and they wanted a rural cooperative telephone that would reach all over Livingston to benefit its farmers. Mr, Dunston said he was not aa enthusiastic over telephones as some others. Mrs. R. R. Smith was just the opposite and was very enthusiastic. A motion was made that all who were in favor of a Livingston county co-operative telephone in the county was carried. The paper "Direct Legislation" presented by W. P. Johnson gave in a clear way the many pros and cons of the legislative law and summing up all the farmers should desire a government of the<people for the people and by the people. In discussion some were in favor of direct legislation and some were not. Mr. Horton thought that until we can find something better we had not better change to some untried reform ; that there would be as much deversified oppinions then as now.

He was asked to disclose something of his secret. His reply, In essence, was that it lay, as far as he knew, in the sense of profound contentment with his Blessed Master, in which his soul was kept through 'grace. Jesus Christ irradiated him . within and for himself. He was, at the very center of his soul's consciousness, deeply happy to belong to "his king who had saved him," and to be used by that great and holy Professor as should seem best to him. And this took friction and anxiety out of his life in a very wonderful way, while it kept that life, so to speak, always directed, peacefully and unwearily, toward the thought of service, toward the idea and the expectation of being used. And the service was all the happier because it was not the source of the man's happiness. The source 'and secret was Jesus Christ; and that secret acted equally whether marked success attended action and speech, or apparently no success at all; whether the servant was put by the Master into the front rank of active reapers in the harvest field, or told to "sit down in a corner and sharpen the sickles of others;** whether he was called to speak in spiritual power to a multitude, or to lie still on a sick bed. That heaven-given spirit, in a blessed paradox, was for him the source at once of workfulness and repose. And in a very marked degree it preserved the worker from the infection of the Bin of envy, of jealousy, of selfishness. Ah! in the air of a life SQjaid with Christ in God, do we not feel instinctively that ~ suchTsTn could not breathe? "The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace;" in the peace of God. It is one of the deepest and most sacred laws of the life of the children of God, that thefr activity has its roots in passivity; their strength has profoundly much to do with weakness; their rising up and going on with giving way and sinking down; with that oppositive of positive effort which is yet so fruitful of work—"Yield yourselves unto God." —Rt.

That evening they dined together, and then went to see "The Show Girl." Yesterday afternoon the prosperous looking man went to the West Thirtieth street police station and told the story of the meeting and the evening. He said that while in the theater the woman he was with deftly abstracted from his vest pocket two twenty-dollar bills and one ten-dollar bill. In their place she left a slip of paper upon which this was written: Here's to the girl that is strictly in It, Who doesn't lose her head even for a minute, Plays well the game and knows the limit, And still gets all the fun there is in : It.". The prosperous looking Washingtonian refused to give his name.rrNew York Times. Cleansing from Sin The remarkable experience of Isaiah when he saw the Lord, as he relates in Isaiah vi., has a suggestion of great import. The realization of God's holiness made the prophet deeply conscious of his sin and of the sin of his people. "Woe is me," he cried, "for I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Ijord of hosts." Immediately follow- .ing this hearty confession of sin came the application of a live coal to the prophet's lips. The coal had come from off the altar and was laid upon the lips of the penitent by "one of the seraphims." The cleansing away oi the soul's uncleanness is not without suffering on the part of him who Is cleansed. Isaiah must endure thr blistering caused by the burning coal «re he is ready for service, the service to which he was presently to devote himself. "Lo, this hath touched my lips," the seraph spirit said to him, "and thine iniquity is taken away and thy oin purged." Then fol- Purifyfng of the Soul C a n Not Bd Without Suffering lowed the call for an ambassador. Isaiah no sooner received the assurance that his sin was cleansed than he heard the call for service and made an immediate response; "Also, I Giving the Game Away. A sad story is told of a sportsman who-rented-a-big shoot near-London on which the head qf game did not coincide with the advertisement. It was felt that something desperate must be done, for royalty itself— though of a minor sort—was going tu attend. A wire was dispatched to London, and on the morning of the shoot a large number of baskets, containing aggrieved and somewhat compressed pheasants, arrived at the mansion. These were subtly conveyed to a small cover on a rising ground, it being intended that just before luncheon the noble sportsmen should be daxzled by the cloud of birds let loose upon them. The day wore, on, with indifferent sport; but at length, placing his guns round the little cover, the host smilingly promised them something above the common. The beaters entered, led by the head keeper who wore a knowing look. Only four pheasants were flushed. To obtain a certificate permitting Mm to mine coal a man must have worked lu the mines at least two years ind ps*K flu examination before a ward provided by the state.

Then said I, Here am I, send me." How marked the contrast of the prophet's condition before and after the cleansing touch. Sin seen in the searchlight of God's pure presence, filled him with dismay, but the cleansing application of the coal from off the altar made him bold and ready to accept a commission from his God. Concern, confession, cleansing and consecration, followed in short order. Surely they who would serve God by carrying his message to their fellowmen, learn here the deep need of cleansing from personal iniquity before usefulness can be anticipated. God has no commission for the uncleansed soul. Moderate drinkers belong to the same class as moderate stealers. M\isic in Churches E p i s c o p a l Minister D e p r e c a t e s P r o m i n e n c e G i v e n to S o n g At the convention of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York, held in St. Paul's church, Syracuse, Bishop Huntington spoke at some length of church music as often a detriment to worship, declaring that "most of the offertory anthems, coming as they commonly do near the end of a service, are, for devotion, too long. In secular newspapers, without number, in comments, critiques and advertisements, the music, wholly as music, is made a principal motive for church attendance in God's sanctuary and before God's altar, singers and players being advertised by came. The law of the church, as to the authority and direction of the minister, is grossly violated and his control is wrested from him on peril of his popu* larity or position. In this diocese repeated instances have occurred where disastrous embarrassment has been averted only by a check upon extravagance and ostentation. It is the correctness or skill of the artistic exercise that is regarded, but an insult is offered him who can be worshiped only in spirit and in truth. • * * ing which the host wiped the perspiration from his brow. Then suddenly the head keeper broke from the undergrowth, with an expression of despair stamped on his bibulous features. "Oh, sir," he cried to his furious master, "them baskets Is all wired down and we've forgotten the nippers!" She Protected Her Chaperon. The chaperon is not so much of an Institution in the breezy west as she is in the east, and in some quarters there are rather hazy id«as as to her duties and responsibilities. One western girl, the freedom of whose life had made her exceptionally independent and self-reliant, gave an excellent illustration of this at an eastern summer resort. She was under the protecting wing of an eastern patron with very strict ideas of propriety. The matron found her charge one day sitting on the hotel veranda with a strange man, and naturally she was perturbed. She took a chair reasonably near them, to give the girl a chance to present the young man, but the girl Ignored her. Finally, in desperation, the matron tried to instruct the girl by signals what to do, but the latter only smiled and shook her head. When the young man left the matron asked who he was. "Oh, he's from Denver," answered the girl. "It is a chaperon's duty to decide Nothing can be properly said or sung w n o a r e p r o p e r a CqU a in tances for a young girl, explained the matron. "You should have presented him to me." , ' i suppose so," answered the girl, ways to recite to the congregation, nowrhalantly, "but, you see, he hasn't before an anthem is sung, the scrip- a v e r y g 0 0 ( j reputation, and so I tural words to be pronounced, as the thought it better you should not meet common practice is in England."

The idea which he had conceived to the effect ttfat the chaaeea might be better i s the rear of the hotel as compared wttji Jthe ajuu* facing upon the thoroughtarea waa at ieaat reason- He heitered eememweea nand.gulded him, and t h e n was a certain bold confidence fn' his intrepid heart that all would yet be well—all must be well, since Arllne loved him. Heaven could npt be so cruel as to give him thla fleeting ' glimpse into paradise, just as Moses w^as allowed to look over into the Promised Land, and then snatch him away forever. It was this positive belief In ultimate escape that bore him up so well, that kept his brain as clear as a bell, and prevented a confusion of ideas such as must have proven fatal to his chances* The two-*jg1tive» ran the gauntlet in safety, although there was a time when Charlie began to fear their progress would be cut off, so fiercely did the savage flames roll along. Luckily an opening occurred, through which he rushed, half bearing Arllne, To retreat meant destruction, a3 he well knew, and their only hope now was, to push grimly on. One thing favored them—close to the fire the smoke was not so suffocating— in some of the corridors it was so dense that many poor, bewildered, wandering souls must have been asphyxiated long before the fire reached them. Charlie's first hope was to find some stairway designed for the help, if such existed, through which the fiery streamers had not been drawn. He saw many roofs'here and there, some towering buildings, and a thousand heads in places of vantage, where the whole dread spectacle could be observed. . He saw where a chance offered, If one could but reach the next lower floor, but it was not open to them here. Quick as a flash he darted into an adjoining room; it had two beds in it, and from these he whipped the sheets. The sheets, torn lengthwise and knotted together, would serve the purpose he had in view. Even while he was ripping them in broad strips and knotting them together, Stuart kept watch and ward over the flames. Again he looked down; everything appeared favorable-^-at least, there was as yet no sign of flames bursting out below him. How furiouslyneworked!—how with clinched teeth he tested each knot! That rude rope was to bear a burden that was very precious to him, and he did not mean It should betray him. It was all done in an incredibly short time, though doubtless under such a fearful strain it seemed hours to those whose lives and future happiness hung by a thread, as it were. Charlie knotted one end around Arllne, while her eyes looked into his with a bravery he would never, never forget She knew this desperate move of his was the only hope they had. So she shut her teeth hard together and crushed down the wail that fluttered in her throat—the womanly fear of facing peril, such as men can hardly appreciate. While he worked in this way Charlie was busy explaining to Arline, as simply as words could do, what her part was to be. Never to his dying day would Charlieforget. how she looked into his eyes as she crouched there on the broad sill of *tfcfc window, and. gave him even a piteous smile meant to be encouraging. Then she was gone! He thought his heart had broken, such was the wrench It received when she passed from his sight, and he realized that she hung there in midair with only a frail sheeted rope between herself and eternity. Then elapsed a few seconds that seemed years. ** Never had he experienced a more radical sensation of extreme joy than when there came threo quick tugs at the rope, the signal she was to give when she had secured a lodgment on the window sill below, and desired more line in order to enter. Quickly he allowed it to slip through his fingers so that she might release herself from the-noose ere he made the attempt to descend. The flames were now driving alonfc the corridor, and it seemed as though they would reach the open window ere another minute had elapsed m »iMi» a •» niHK*r ht 4rftpp*rt ttftwi> and -toagfwl thf' ftlmogt- »att«fti<>*a **#*_ .>» ved opposite the window; pair of arms shot out and seized him; Arline was on the watch a*d ^ mt/clf distressed lest something should happen to him. And.Charlie was thankful enough to crawl in through that blessed window; his first act was to take her to his heart and exclaim: "<*a<L bless you for a. brave girl! Keep up your spirits and we will cheat the old monster yet!" She answered him with a rare look of confidence and trust that made him stronger than ever in the resolution to dare all for her sake. Wnftt advantage had been gained? They were one flight nearer the earthy but the danger still menaced; this floor, like all others, was given over to the riotous flames, and to halt here meant the same inevitable end. Charlie did not mean to stay. Given time, he might have found or constructed a rope by means of which lie would have lowered Arline to the ground. That would have been glorious, but the seconds were too few; and, besides, on looking down he saw the old enemy bursting out from the windows near the basement. Some other plan, then, was needed. CHAPTER XVI. At Last. Charlie had conceived a plan which, while it offered certain chances of success, at the same time entailed continued risk. ' , There was a wing where the fire did not as yet appear to have secured a foothold. If they could but reach that section, which would be the last to feed the flames, apparently, their. escape was almost a certainty. Accordingly Charlie's first action, after taking Arline in his arms, was to ascertain whether his surmise were correct, or if he had deceived himself. There was. great relief when he found that a passage led off directly toward the quarter where relief seemed to hold out hope. The. smoke filled it almost to suffocation, and his heart misgave him as he caught a fleeting glimpse of a lurid glow through the haze, that warned him the fire demon was working even in this quarter, sparing nothing. The smoke grew more dense—it seemed to almost paralyse his very brain; his eyes smarted and burned as though seared with red-hot irons; his senses reeled, yet, with the indomitable pluck of a true soldier, he pressed grimly on, sheltering Arline as well as he could with the cloak she wore, and which proved a blessing in more ways than had entered into his reasoning at the time he first clasped it about her. Every yard which they covered brought them closer to their goal, where doubtless friendly hands waited to bear them down to safety. This was the hope that sustained Charlie in the midst of all this desperate ordeal—that an oasis lay beyond, the pure air of heaven awaited them, once they passed the barrier. He was weak and tottering himself. from the effect of his exertions and the pungent smoke, that many times overcomes daring fire laddies as they venture a trifle too far—and yet he thought only of Arline, thought she must be in a condition of collapse. Nothing else could have possessed him to suddenly snatch her up in his arms and stagger on through the blinding, choking smoke. At first she struggled, but when he pressed her more fiercely to his heart she lay passive. Staggering atone like a drunken man, Charlie endeavored to pass the Rubicon—that si)ot where the sullen glow was now continuous, and in whch he was presently to be engulfed. Just at the critical spot, where the flames were bearing down along another passage, he sank heavily to the floor. Was this the end? Had his brave fight come to naught? In that dread moment, when defeat stared him in the face, his heart almost broke. Arline had meanwhile struggled out of his arms, for she had gone down with him. "Oh, Charlie, what shall I do?M she cried, in her wild alarm and distress, for the sea of flame, appeared so very close that it seemed as though the dread crisis were upon them. "Fly! fly! Yonder lies safety!" he cried, trying to get upon his knees, only to fall back. He had sheltered her at the expense of his own strength, and now must pay the penalty. "But you—I can't leave you here!" she sobbed, bending down to put her arms about his neck. "You must! There is no hope for me! If I can I will crawl on; but you —must—go! God forbid we should both perish here! Kiss me, Arline, and go!" "No, no—I could not! Do not ask xne!" "It is my desire; make haste or ,0h. Heaven! it is even now too late!" To a man of 8tuart*s build and ath> | as a tongue of flame shot across the as VXi'.'J" letic qualities it was a mere bagatelle to accomplish this feat; his only dan* gar seemed to Ue in a fracture of ths /opa, passage beyond. Arline gave a shriek. She tightened her hold; upon him; desperation gave her strength, lor aha along toward safety. Guardian angels must have held back those cruel tangs until they had passed tho fatal place, for hardly were they beyond than, with a rash and a roar, the abyss, of fire swallowed «p the spot where Charlie had been over* v v t U V r - • • - Still she dragged him along. Love gave her a power she had never known before; under its magical influence weaklings beeome strong as lions and perform prodigies of valor. Through the smoke, almost overpowered by its awful fumes, she went Ah! were these shouts just ahead? She shrieked aloud, and beard answering cries, cheery cries that gave her new hope, new ambition. Then gigantic figures loomed-up beyond, and Arline swooned at the feet of the firemen, who picked both of them up in kindly arms and bore them into the fresh air. Two hours later Charlie, sadly demoralized so far as looks went, with bloodshot eyes, singed mustache, sans a portion of his eyebrows, and with sundry burns upon face and hands, yet bearing a grim look of happiness upon his countenance, knocked at the door of a room in a neighboring hotel, and was admitted by Arline's companion, whose temporary absence from the Windsor hotel at the time of the fire had possibly saved her life. Arline lay upon a lounge. She, too, had suffered somewhat from the terrible experience, although not so severely as her lover, but to Charlie's ravished eyes she had never looked so charming as when she held out both bands to him, while blushes chased each other over face and neck. "God was indeed good to us, Charlie,' she said, after he had bent down and deliberately kissed her with the air of one who holds a proprietary right. "I echo your words, my darling; and I venture to say I am the only man in New York to whom that fearful fire brought good luck." "Ah! but you richly earned all that and more—you who fought so desperately to save me. Where would I be now only for you? Oh, Charlie!" bursting Into a flood of tears, as she remembered how he had swept into her room and taken possession of her, leading her through devious ways at last to safety and life. "And who was it dragged me away from the hungry maw of the flames when they seemed sure of their prey? Ah, my dear girl, the honors are pretty nearly even, It seems to me! We belong to each other, and Heaven give me the power to make your life happy!" "Oh, Charlie! doubt can never enter Into my soul. After what has occurred I could not live without your love! I am only contented with you." They spent a happy half hour. Then Charlie remembered that he bore a message. "Aleck and your father are below. They met In the strangest way during the fire; it certainly looks as though the hand of fate was in it. At any rate, they are both anxious to see you," he said. Capt. Brand claimed his daughter, and this time there could be no mistaking the genuine thrill that awoke in Arline's heart when she saw his genial face and heard his voice, which at once aroused memories of long ago. While the great metropolis was wrapped in mourning on that sad St. Patrick's evening, a happy group dined in the other hotel. Capt. Brand related many of his adventures In a modest way, entirely dif-1 ferent from the braggadocio of the im- j postor. I Again and again his eyes rested j tenderly and proudly on his lovely! daughter; she had been in his thoughts i for years while he scoured the deserts j with the wild Arab tribe with whom j he had been associated; and he had hard work indeed to believe it was not a dream. Aleck, too, seemed to grow more manly, and Charlie felt sure he had a grand future before him. The follies of the past would serve as guideposts, directing him to the straight and narrow road that leads to happiness. As for Charlie, a peace had come upon him such as only the mariner knows when at last his storm-tossed barque slips into, a safe harbor, where love and home await his coming. He looked into her beautiful face, where the lovelight and glow of happiness dwelt forever more, and thanked Heaven for the bountiful mercies that had carried them through the perils of fire to such peace and hope. No cloud dimmed their joy on this night of thanksgiving, save the pity they felt for those who had lost loved ones in the awful calamity. The shock must for a long time hang upon them—it could hardly be otherwise; but young hearts recover from such things by and by, and at length it would only be a sad memory, to arouse a sigh or a pitying tear. Through Arline's ready hand a num- J her of those who suffered in the fire found temporary relief; her purse was open to any reasonable demand; and when, some months later, she sailed fox England with her husband, many a grateful heart breathed prayers for her safety upon the deep.

"About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and severe attack of' Diarrhoea,1* says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again; and for six long years I bave suffered more misery and agony than 1 can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians, prescriptions and treatment without avjtol. Finally we moved to liopque vCjpftty, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertisem e j t of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera »|ro Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar t<r iry own that I concluded to try the remedy. Tbe result r a s wonderfull. I cool^*B»rdly realize that I was well tgaii^rer believe it could be so after having suffered *o long, but that one bottle of medicine, costidg but a few cents, cured me." For sate by *'. A. Bigkr. .

The.sale brought a large number of prominent lumbermen and land speculators to the city, but the bidding was not lively, and only a small proportion of the lands were mid at auction. The law provides that all public lands, after being offered at public auction, may be sold at private sale, and it is the experience of Laud buyers that better terms can be secured by waiting until after the bidding Is over and then securing the lands for jkrliat they have been appraised. The public offering was not concluded until 5 o'clock this afternoon, and land* will now be purchased at private sale. During the auction sale to-day luuds sold as low as twenty-five cents an Acre acid as high as $17 50 an acre. The latter were particularly desirable tracts for which there Mere several bidders. Hon.

Mlc*l««a Miners Say Ito. local uulona, b^ve voted jigjiiost a get tlemeut .of the present strike on the proposition submitted at the recent Joint conference. Of this there is'now no doubt' In Saginaw county the sentiment was overwhelmingly opposed to acceptance of the proposition submitted by the operators, although it had the Slttchen Bay City favoring Charles voted against accepting the wage scale submitted. It is generally believed that the operators will now import non-union labor and try to carry on work In the mines. The main objection to the scale submitted by the operators is that by the terms of it the miners push out their own coal. Alpena'a Smallpox Cases.

Prosecutor Tuttle is not inclined to take any stock in Mrs. Messier's change-of heart, thinking it due to her desire to keep peace with several members of her family who have been persistent in their efforts to have her take this view of the case She is improving at the city hospital, and will probably recover.

The > old -dance hall at Manila, which "Unete Sam's" soldier boys had rechristened "Volunteers' Rest," was ablaze to-night with gaily colored lights and lanterns and profusely decorated with the "Stars and ,strip«s." The '*boys*f were giving a "blowout"— a*' sort: of farewell one ;to the officers and men of the Fifteenth Kansas, who were to sail for the States in a few days. The Filipino maidens with their flashing eyes, swarthy skin and fantastic garments, as they were whirled to and fro in the mazes of the civilized dance by the "boys" made an attractive picture one would not soon forget. While the revelry was at its height a stalwart officer, with a handsome native maiden clinging to his arm, made his way to one of the refreshment booths in the.rear. No one paid special attention to their movements, and if they were, indeed, noticed at all, it was with a shrug of the shoulders and a 3mile, as all the "boys" bad long known of the attachment existing between Capt. Dick Johnston and pretty Anita Amarido, a daughter of one of Agulnaldo's ex-cabinet members. "Nita"—"Dick'' was bending low over her chair—"what you ask is impossible. 1 could not live the balance of my llfo in this place, besides my native land holds all that is dear to me. "And I, my Dick, am I nothing to you? Hare you not oft said to me, 'My Nita, you are the flower of this land and I love you so much that I shall never part from you?' Ah, my Dick, did you not teach me to love a3 the fair-skinned ladies of your land love?" "Yes, yes, Nita, but"—a frown of annoyance flitted over his countenance —"things in the States are far different to what they are over here." "My Dick, you are always right; you must not stay here; you must go home on the big ship when she comes bills'. Np, the States would not. suit you—you had better remain here," , "You will leave me here, Dick—you tffll cast me off—what when my child comes—no father to see its dimpled cheeks—no, no; it must' not be; rather death than that. You swore you loved your Nita—you promised you would wed me in the church as your people do," and her form was shaken by a passionate outbreak of grief. "Come, come, Nita, don't take lt.&o hard; you are something fierce. 1 will provide for you and see to it that when trouble comes you will not want for anything; but, of course, you can't go with me." "Dick, you made me love you. I was a good girl till your lying tongue led me astray. God help me. I believed all you said—believed you loved me. Now you throw me aside; curse your white American skin; you have played with me, ruined me, and 1 swear by my mother, go and leave me in my disgrace, and my spirit shall follow you till my wrongs have been avenged," and with the air of an out* raged princess, Nita left him to ponder over what she had said. He never beheld her. alive again. The day the transport Freedom left Manila for home Capt. Dick Johnston identified the remains of a female, which had been fished from the bay by a patrol boat, as all.that was mortal of "Nita." * » • Six months had passed, and to-day old St. John's church of Topeka wai thronged with a fashionable assemblage, it being close to the hour set for the marriage of Miss Nettie Colburn, daughter of the Hon.

As Jack looked on that countenance he could not but remember the proverb, "The wage of sin is death." Bending over the prostrate form he took from the clenched, cold hand several long strands of jetty-black hair. The daily papers dwelt on the affair as follows:— "Capt. Richard Johnston, U. S. "It is like the movements of 157f, 18*3 and 1887 in it* intensity, hut unlike them in almost every other respect.

Heart failure was the cause of his sudden demise. His death is more thau sad and pathetic, as he was to have been married this morning to Miss Nettie Colburn, who is prostrated with grief." Among "Dick's" papers was a letter addressed to "Jack," written after Jack had left him the night before the day set for his wedding, which ran thus: "My Dear Jack: Nita has troubled me again—ten minutes after you left; her oath rings still in my ears, and, old comrade, I have a presentiment that it will be fulfilled. If anything the total for 1802 promises to surpass the number of settlers from Europe that poured in any one year into this section during the period of greatest foreign immigration. "Besides the settlers attracted by wild lands there is a notable movement of fanners who are purchasing lands already under cultivation. Both classes of settlers, however, are com* ing mainly from the middle states—r Iowa, northern Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

Richard Johnston of the Kansas volunteers, who had lately returned from the Philippines. Carriage upon carriage was depositing its brightly arrayed occupants at the door of the old edifice; the grayhaired priest was standing at the chancel rail; the appointed hour had arrived and passed: ten, twenty and now the half hour was here, and still no bridal couple. The wedding guests sat in feverist expectancy; the reverend father, eyeing the entrance impatiently; when the doors were thrown open to admit an officer in full uniform, who hastened to the altar and spoke to tho priest in a low tone. There was a look of sorrow on his kindly old face as he dismissed the assemblage with the startling announcement that "there would be no wedding to-day." The evening prior to his wedding day Capt. Dick Johnston was passing quietly at his bachelor apartments with his friend and comrade. Jack Dunn, captain In the Fifteenth U. S. Regulars. "As I was saying, Jack, to-morrow should see me the happiest of men; and yet the recollection ot that affair with Nita I can't get off my mind—it almost drives me frantic at times." "Jack"—Dick's voice was solemn and tremulous—"I swear to you I have seen her—Nita— three times this week, and right here in this room." "Oh, the devil, Dick." laughed Jack, "you have been tippling too much; late hours and loss of sleep will make s healthy imagination, you know. "Damn it, man. how could you have seen her when she has been dead six months or more? Did I not see her buried in the old Jesuits' ground at Manila? Cheer up, old man; I almost believe the nearness of your wedding day Is making you nervous." "Ugh, Jack, I will never forget her threat that night—'I will never forgive you, and if you leave me, my spirit shall follow you and avenge my wrongs.' See, I hear it now, Dick; it has been ringing in my ears all day." "Poor little Nita." he continued, meditatively, "I did treat her shabby; but, Jack, I could never have married her, though I wish now I had not wronged her so**' ," ^ stock are moving to the northwest and buying better lands at from 82 to 815 an acre; or, if already under cultivation, at from |15 to 830 an acre.

"Jack" reads the letter, and, as he looks at the strands of hair he had taken from "Dick's" hand that fateful morning, he knows the truth; whatever passed between Dick and Nita— spirit or what (?)—is locked into his loyal heart to remain. His Sympathy. A Chicago lady who had a birthday recently received as a present from one of her friends a 810 bill. Accompanying the money was a note in which the writer, after explaining that she couldn't think of anything tasteful to buy and had therefore sent the cash, made some tender references to bygone days and dear old scenes. While the recipient was sittears to drip down upon both, her little son went up to her and, putting his arms around her neck, tenderly asked: "What's the matter, mamma? Isn't the money good?" Profit-Sharing Creamery. The Continental Crear ery of Kansas, one of the l a t e s t i 3titutions of its kind In the world, has adopted what it calls the profit-sharing plan. To a newspaper. man that interviewed the president of the company he said: Our profit-sharing plan inaugurated since Jan. 1 Is rapidly proving itself an unqualified success. The more generally it is understood the more popular It becomes. The plan is very simple. The prices we pay for butter-fat are absolutely out- of our hands. We have arranged matters so we cannot control the price. We base the price every day upon the New York market, paying always two and one-naif cents less than the quoted price. Then we ask the patron to pay the actual running expenses of the skimming station. This expense runs from one-half cent to five cents per pound, according to the amount of milk received at the station.""It takes about; the same labor and expense to manufacture 20,000 pounds of butter as it does to make 100,000 pounds, if we receive 20,000 pounds of milk per day at a station it takes little more labor and expense to handle it than if we were receiving 1,000. So the running expense of the rtation is in the hands ol the patrons They get all the profit gained by the greater quantity of milk received; there is a corresponding decrease In the cost per round for handling and the patron gets all the saving. Where a permanent hog pasture is not to be had a good substitute may be had by sowing a field of rape. A Foolish Lift Stratford, Wis., July 28th.—William Junemann was working with a farmer near this place last summer and one day they got stuck with a load of grain. Mr. Junemann says: "We had to lift like fools and my back cracked and started to hurt me so that 1 couldn't stand it any longer. The man I was working with took me home and I went to bed. I saw on advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills In the paper and I sent and got one fifty cent box. Before I had this box used up I began to feel better and I kept on and very soon my back was well again. "I can't say enough for Dodd's Kidney Pills and I cannot understand why anyone should continue to suffer with backache when Dodd's Kianey pills will cure it so quickly." Approved of the Distinction. A certain American writer of international reputation who died recently was, like so many other geniuses, strangely incapable of managing his own domestic affairs. The small boy of the family T \S his father's pet, but the terror of the rest of the household. Now It happened that under this some roof with this small boy lived to maiden aunts, sisters of his mother. That they were thorns in his flesh he made no pretense of concealing.

If a farmer believes he can not afford to grow and select his own seed, he surely can determine its value before seeding. If he will fake an ordinary dinner plate, put a little sand In it and moisten the same, count out 100 or 150. seeds of the various grasses and clovers, put in separate plates and invert other plates over the ones containing the sand and let them stand at the temperature of the living room for several days being sure that ting with the bill In one hand and the j the »*nd is kept moist, he can readily letter in the other, and permlttedptetormine how much of this seed will Oriental Logic. A man bought three pounds of meat and brought it home to his wife to cook for dinner, and then went his way to his place of business in the bazaars. The wife was hungry and ate the meat. In the evening the man came home and asked for his dinner. "There is no meat," said the wife, "for the cat ate it" "Bring the cat," said the man, "aa* a pair of scales."

It is the lack of vitality that should be guarded against as it causes an appalling waste of money, not t o speak of the annoyance which could be prevented by making a germination test of the seed before they are purchased or only buying them on the guarantee that they show a certain germination test—Seed Testing.

She was strikingly pretty and strikingly conscious of the fact, if one might judge from her make-up and manner. It was evident that she vras bound for the nearest letter-box. Hardly, however had the little kid slippers of this pleasing damsel tripped along the pavement a dozen yards when, with the exasperating unexpectedness which nature sometimes displays in her most perverse moods, it began to rain. The attractive figure stopped short, wavered a moment and then turned back—just in time to meet young Marsh, struggling to raise his umbrella over his $26 overcoat. With a silvery laugh and, apparently the most perfect unconsciousness of any impropriety in thus accosting a stranger, the girl exclaimed: ."How sudden!" E. Wilbert Marsh smiled, and raised his hat with a gratified blush. "Would you have the kindness to drop my letter in the first box you pass?" asked the girl, putting the little square missive into the young man's hand, and gathering her skirts preparatory to flight. The next instant she fled, rustling and laughing, back to the shelter of the brown stone front, and E. Wilbert Marsh found himself saying "With pleasure!" to the empty air. The young lady looked back as she was vanishing and nodded. "I wo-der if she would rec ognlze me, if she met me again?" mused Marsh. Then he walked briskly on. The rattle of an approaching train fell on his ear. He had just time to reach the station and catch it There would not be another train for five minutes, and it happened that he was somewhat late that morning. With an Inward vow that he would mail the poung lady's letter immediately on leaving tho car, he made a wild dash for the stairway and rushed upon the platform of the nearest car just as the guard was closing the gate. Then "How sudden!" he slipped the letter into his overcoat pocket and straightway did what all men do under such circumstances —forgot i t Presently another young man left all teat, came up the aislo, and stood milling down upon Marsh. "Golzz to the ball game, this afternoon?" he asked. "Why, hello!" replied Marth^recbgatglng a chum in whose company he had aforetime done his part toward hoarsely eulogising the n a t i o n ! game. "Yes, I want to go. Shall, if I can get away. You going?" "Not much chanco of i t Two hundred and fifty pieces in last night's mail! Don't know how much larger this morning's mail will be. But say, Will, if you can go, you want to. It's going to be great ball. Hutchins will pitch for our fellov s. The champions play us, and are only just a notch ahead, you know." By the time E. Wilbert Marsh left the car his head was completely full of the great game which was to come off that afternoon. He was planning bow he could get away. He kept planning all the morning. In the early afternoon he got away. He just. went. It was a glorious day and a glorious dutifully ing when Miss Ollie dropped it from the bridge stairs. But instead of returning, he buttoned his coat raised his umbrella against the drizzling rain which had begun to fall, and walked away to a street car. Of course, Miss Ollie found no "dearest Sam" awaiting her at the head of the stairs, since he had never received her letter. She rushed frantically about, got into a jam, had her opera hat crushed out of shape, her purse stolen, and the better part of her indignant wind squeezed into gasping protests. Finally, she got free, but having neither umbrella nor money, had to walk home unsheltered from the rain. She arrived in a drenched, Renovated Butter.

The rain had let up. Everybody was there. The grand stand was jammed. The bleachers groaned. The entire field was shut in by black parentheses of humanity. The visitors began to score briskly in the first inning. They made four runs in succession, with out a man out. At the end of the fifth inning the score stood six to two in favor of the champions. Then it was that an eager face was upturned to E. Wilbert Marsh from the tier of seats below. "Three to one that the Caicagos win!" "I'll take you," replied Marsh, with a fierce, desperate thrill of pride and confidence in the home team. They would win yet! Anyway, it would be cowardly to go back on them in their extremity. He would try to turn their luck by betting beyond his usual figure. "Let it be X's!" he exclaimed. "All right!" responded the eager voice below. The Chicagos won. "I'll trouble you for that X," said the young man sittinc at Marsh's feet, as the bleachers rose with a howl, at the completion of the last inning. The champion of the home team began to search in his pockets in a dazed way. He finally gathered together a handful of coins and two bills. "I'm stuck at $4.75," he said, ruefully. "Didn't suppose I was so short Ought not to have bet But— say." He looked desperately at the resplendent overcoat lying across his arm. "You'll take this coat in pledge, won't you? I'll meet you here to-morrow afternoon—right here on the bleachers—with the cash to redeem it" The other young man hesitated. Vhen he took the garment which E. V/ilbert Marsh tragically handed to him, and disappeared in the crowd. A few hours later, the temporary owner of the new overcoat pulled a letter out of a pocket of the garment, and stared at the envelope with startled and flashing eyes. "I'd know her writing anywhere!" he muttered. "And addressed to my rival. Sam Niebaum. Confound it! I'll open it!" He impetuously tore open the envelope and read: ' Dearest Sam—What a shame that your invitation to the theater, to- -night came just after I had accepted as a dersifr reason, one from *fcat $5,000 guaranteeing that he will com- minute, o^f^ LhSiUs VfaZc tory.

After the game he found precisely the same sum in the pocket of that garment, together witt six of the choicest fifty-cent cigars ever swaddled in tin-foil. No wonder he thought the world must be growing better! He had totally forgotten that he did not mail a certain letter that was handed to him by a young lady.

CHINESE AND HIS PEN. tittle Anecdote that Shows Deftness of the Oriental. A certain newspaper man, who was induced to "try" a stylographic pen, got it out of order by reckless treatment, and took it to a pen-shop for repair. The man there soon showed him that there was nothing serious the matter with it, the only trouble being that he had neglected to do some little thing in using it. Then he began to take the pen apart for the newspaper man's instruction, so that he might see how very simple a thing it is. "Simple!" cried the indignant owner of the instrument, "it is as complicated as a Chinese puzzle! I don't wonder that I can't make it 'go' when I want it to!" The penman laughed. "You remind me," he said, "that there is a Chinese in this town who used a stylographic regularly. He came here to buy one several months ago, and when I showed it to him he began to take it all apart. I hurriedly stopped him, supposing^that he would do it an injury, but he at once put down the value of the pen, saying that it was his, and then continued his dissection of it. I give you my I word that he handled that pen more i deftly than the man who made it, j and in five minutes he had it put to-! gether again, so that it worked better i than it did at first.

For him to attempt to raise a crop of anything that requires constant attention and the keeping down of weeds is a little out of his line. Sugar beets demand a great deal of labor and prompt at- j tention. It does not do to neglect ! them for some weeks, while cheap help is being waited for. Not only ! must the weeds be kept down, but' the beets themselves must be thinned as soon as they reach the size de-' manding it.

Sick stock or poultry should not eat cheap stock food any more than sick persons should expect to be cored oy food. When your stock and poultry a n sick give them medicine. Don't stuff them with worthlees stock foods. Unload the bowels ! and stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possible to cure it. Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine unloads the bowels and stirs up the torpid liver. It cures every malady o f stock if . taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine and it will pay for itself ten times over. Horses work better. Cows give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. And hens lay more eggs.

The real story of the discovery of gold on the Klondyke is not generally known, and to unravel that mystery is the purpose of this story. On a certain night, about three years ago last May, five men were seated about a camp fire, built under the south side of a cliff, among some pine trees, near the banks of the Yukon river, fifteen miles above Dawson City. As some of this party have become well known by the development of the Klondyke gold fields, it will be t& well to introduce them to the reader before we proceed with our story. That large man dressed in moose-skin coat and trousers, with a bear skin thrown over his shoulders, was once well known in the great northwest as the most daring hunter, miner and adventurer in all Alaska. He was as honorable as he was brave, and as kind hearted as he was sullen. His _ . name was Jack Ralston, but along the A man has started to ride a horse !

It was a hard winter, and I have often wondered why we didn't all die, but all but two pulled through, and when spring came on, an* the captain hadn't hove to in sight, the first mate said he was going back with the ship. They tried to make me go, but I'd promised the captain I'd stay until he came back. "Our ship sailed a way, an' I stayed around the town for a while, an' taen went on a cruise with some hunters. We branched off into the woods. I didn't tell the story of my captain 4U^.thA-lniun_jahlfif .witb.fcbg gold beads for a good many years. Then I went into the interior to try to find him. I got in with some moose hunters and traveled one whole summer and part of a winter and nearly starved an' froze a hundred times, but not a word could I hear of him, so I suppose I am doomed to make my last voyage from this port. When I meet my captain on that unknown sea to which we are all steer in', I'll tell him I kept my promise." When the ex-sailor had finished his story a silence fell on the group. No one spoke for several minutes. . The youth, known only by the sobriquet of "Crack Lash," sat gazing abstractedly into the fire. He had heard no part of the story, for his mind was still on his far-away home, where dwelt mother and the fair being who had promised to be his wife, for whom he had braved the dangers of the wilderness. At early morn the little camp on the Yukon was astir. Paul was the last to awake. Youth is healthful and innocent, so sleep lingers longer about its eyelids than those whose bodies are freighted with disease or minds burdened with cares. "Where's George?" asked Gid, as he toasted steaks. "Been gone these two hours," Big Port answered. "Alone?" "Yes." "That's strange." Breakfast was disposed of, the dogs fed and harnessed and the party prepared for their journey up the river to Dawson City, then an insignificant village, and yet lucky George had not retun.ed. As t i e sun rose higher the mud and snow made travel more uncomfortable. yet Paul trudged on, uncomplainingly. He could bear any burden or hardship without a^ murmur when he reflected that it was for Laura. Her presence gave strength to his arm and keenness to his eye, spurring him on to efforts more than superhuman. When they halted at noon they were compelled to ret to leeward of the smoke to protect themselves from the mosquitoes.

For a moment he gated upon it in doubt, and then, touching Qid Myers, who sat near, on the arm, he whispered; "Look off there, Old, In the direction I am pointing. Don't you see anything suspicious?"

Glum Ralston., who had not expressed an opinion on the subject for some time, at last said: "Boys, I heard him say somethin' one day 'bout goin' up the Klondyke." "What for?" asked Gid.

It was a strange and unexpected sight that met their view. A great fire was blazing, to which was added the light of pine knot torches stuck In the ground. Two men were at work with picks, shovels and pans. Late as it was, dark as it was and tired and hungry as they were, they toiled on and on. "Crack Lash," Gid gasped in a hoarse whisper, "it's Lucky George and the squaw man, Lattimer." "Yes.' ."What are they doin'?" "Digging! Great heaven, look at the shining ore! See! the buckets and pans are full of nuggets and dust. Oh, Gid! Gid! It's a bonanza!" "Hush, they will hear you." , "I am going to make myself knowA to them." "And be shot?" "Way should they shoot me when we are friends? If they are like savage dogs over a bone, then we can shoot first." Gid consented to go to them, and, advancing to within a hundred paces, they called to the diggers. At first they were a" little confused, but Lucky George, who was a shrewd fellow, saw it was best to admit to the discovery. "Come down, boys; come down," he cried, cheerfully. "I tell you we have made the greatest strike in the world. Look at the work of a few hours."

"Because George is allers in luck. Every time he draws from the deck it's a trump. If a feller holds a straight George has a flush. I'll gamble my dogs an' packs that he makes a ten strick right now." There was a silence, and the men sat and smoked and steamed, to drive away the mosquitoes. At last Paul broke the silence by saying: "If there is gold on the Klondyke let us go and find it ourselves." j "Now yer shoutin'," cried the prosi pectors. "Why not go to the Klondyke ourselves?" / ,ftruth is, boys," said Glum, "I've never-had any very exalted opinion o' Lucky George's honesty. If he makes a big strike we can, o' course, come in for a claim, but he'll strike out the best an' work on the others without us a-knowin' it." They decided to set out at once for the Klondyke. It was a journey attended from beginning to end with great danger and hardship. Glum Ralston was the only member of their party who had been on the stream, and he acted as guide. Again night came on, and they went into camp and prepared their suppers. Paul was a little disheartened work, stake out the best and get the very cream before the world finds it out. Lattimer here put me onto this; he got it from the Indians." Thjis was the discovery of the great gold fields in the Klondyke. Lucky George got the tip from Lattimer, the white man with an Indian wife, and had determined to work it alone if he could do so, but now that his friends had found him, he decided to make the most of It and divide. The others were sent for, and claims for all staked out. Next morning with the dawn of flay Pfl.nl hag&n—to., w o r k H a r l a i r n . From the first shoverful of earth, he began to take out gold. His pick seemed attracted to the largest 'nug-. fjets, and his pan was always rich in ore. He washed out a thousand dollars' worth of dust and nuggets to the pan. He forgot breakfast, lunch or dinner, but toiled on. The small moose-skin bags were quickly filled, and then he poured the renewed accumulation into a water bucket. His eyes gleamed with the fire of the insane, and in his mind he saw only the faces of sweetheart and mother and took no thought of rest, health or the danger which his accumulation brought him. There was danger hovering over the happy youth. His claim was some distance up the stream from the others, and one day, as he was toiling and heaping up the golden treasure, two pairs of fierce, avaricious eyes glared at him from the dense foliage of pines. They watched him a long time as he toiled, and then exchanged knowing looks, winks and smile3, which said: "Let the fool toil on. When he has taken his thousands from the earth we will have it." After the first few days he stopped long enough to eat and sleep a few hours at a time, dreaming of home and of making loved ones there happy. Little did he dream that a storm cloud was gathering over the loved ones at home and another over his own head, threatening to ruin himself and all most dear to his heart. (To be continued.) "Don't worry," he said to the mother. "I have two of these at my own home, and I know something about handling 'em. Let me have her. She needs some clothes." After giving the baby a warm bath in the lavatory, he looked through the linen closet for some thine soft to wrap, her in, but everything there was starched. Eight or ten commercial travelers were in the car. "Here, boys," he called out, "we've got the Erie's baby to feed and clothe and name. Open your grips and shell out the softest garments you've got." In an instant the .entire car was a-bustle with interest in Miss Mahoney. One drummer had a fine silk handkerchief, another a camel's hair muffler, another a suit of flaccid merino underwear, while the rest had cambric nightshirts that had been laundered until they were as flocculent as fleece. These articles were eagerly contributed. The night shirts were torn into strips a foot wide and tenderly the little form was enveloped. A petticoat was made of the underwear, a. dress of the muffler and a shirtwaist of the handkerchief. Thus clothed and In a really Jovial frame of mind, Miss Mahoney was delivered over tj her mother. The next duty was bestowing a name suited to the occasion, and "Dr." Godfather Mosher proved equal to the emergency. The mother's name was Nora, the grandmothers Camellia, the car In which the child was born the Cisco, the town through which the train passed atthe birth Judson, and th 3 family name Mahoney. So the young lady was named Nora Camellia Cisco Judson Mahoney, and that name shebears to-day. At Buffalo a handsome young man entered the forward, Pullman and asked the conductor if he bad among his passengers a woman of the name of Mahoney. "Two of 'em," replied Mosher; "they're in the rear car> the- Cisco." "Two?" said the stranger. "I'm looking for only one, my wife, Mrs. Charles Mahoney." "Well, I've two of 'em back here, and both of 7 emareyours."''f w ft a t~do~ y"OlTffieaTi;;r man?" "What I say. If you don't believe it, come back and look." Leading the way to the berth occupied by Mrs. and Miss Mahoney he drew asidethe curtain. The husband staggered back, gasping: "My God, how did that happen!" IRISHMAN HAD ONE, TOO. His Story Soon Turned the Laugh oh the Other Fellow. A story of Mjteslan co^orinE is told by a Philadelphia citizen,, wpo says, he heard it while watching the excavating for conduits by the laborers of the Keystone Telephone company. Working side by side were an Irishman and a negro. The latter, pausing to light his pipe, winked at the spectators, and, his eyes dancing with mischief, asked: "Dennis, did you ever hear de story of de two holes in the ground?" "No—I nivvlr did," was the reply. "Well! Well!" was the black's response, as he resumed shoveling. The roar of laughter that followed from the other workmen angered the Irishman for a minute. Another minute was devoted, patiently, to ascertaining the point of the retort. Then, stopping as though to hitch up his overalls, he too, winked knowingly at the spectators and some of his fellows, and asked: "Talkin' uv wells, naygur, did yea ever hear how we dig thlm in 01 reland?" "Doan' think I ever did, Dennis," said the negro.

A great crack suddenly appeared in the corner of the wall and extended across the structure, splitting two of the openings which served in lieu of windows.

The vestibule on the east aide of the campanile, however, and the royal library were carried away. The lofty bell tower dominating all the surrounding buildings did not so much break and fall as collapse and crumble. That is why the. surrounding ancient structures escaped. The campanile was 325 feet high and 42 feet equare at the base. It wa3 built of brick and the belfry that topped it of marble. Upon the belfry 3tood an angel, clad in golden plates, taid on a core of wood.

In the early part of the fourteenth century Floren* tine influence rapidly gained ground, and many sculptors from Florence came to work on the richly carved capitals of the ducal palace and other places, and especially produced ton • 5.65: mfi a large number of very beautiful tombs, with recumbent effigies. One very graceful type, the general motive of which was first used by Arnolfo del Cambio, was frequently repeated; at the head and foot of the effigy an angel is represented drawing a cur* tain so as to expose the figure of the dead man. The sarcophagus, on which the effigy lies, has reliefs of the Virgin and the Angel of the Annunciation, with the Crucifixion or some other sacred subject between. In lftter times these subjects were usually replaced* by allegorical figures of the virtues, and the simple curtain, drawn by angels, gradually became a large teut-like canopy, of rather clumsy and tasteless form. In most churches the sculptured decoration, apart frpm that on the tombs, was concentrated on the west facade, the tympanum of the central doorway being often filled with a very fine relief, such as that from the church of tho guild Delia Misericordia, now In the South Kensington museum. In domestic architecture sculpture was but little used after the Byzantine period, the splendor of the facades do* periling mostly on their rich-colored marbles and on, molded tracery and string-courses. !

Stir It well together, with fresh cheese, yolks of eggs and brains. Wrap it in a fragrant fig leaf and boll In the gravy of a chicken 0" a kid. When taken out, remove the leaf and souse it in a potful of boiling honey. The name of this comestible is derived from the flg leaf, but the mixture consists of equal parts of each, but rather more eggs, because this gives It consistency. This appears to have been a popular dish among the Greeks. To us It seems about as nice as an oyster eaten with brown sugar. Aristophanes mentions a thlrum of salt fish and a thirum of fat. In the "Frogs" there is a dismal joke in the form of a reasonable objection made t& leaping from a high tower, "I would lose two flg leaves of brain." The word occurs no less than twelve times In the fragments of the comic poets. The Cobweb. A story was told tbe other day of a little girl who discovered a cobweb and then, seeing a spider emerge from it, called out: "See the cob run! How fast the cob runs!" As a matter of fact she bullded better than she knew, for cob, or cop, is, according to the dictionaries, tbe name sometimes given to a spider; whence the word cobweb, which Is, strictly speaking, eopweb. Cop in this sense is probably an abbreviation of the Anglo-Saxon attercoppe, a spider. Odd Record*. Records are kept with knotted cords In Polynesia.

Labor saving devices are always in demand and the man who thought of rubber stamping outfits bad a head that should have made him secretary of the U. S. treasury. However, rubber stamps have their places and occasions for use. If a business man se s tit to daub his letter bead.* and envelopes with a rubber stamp, thus leading strangers to think there are no printers in this town, he ought to be ostracised. Such a man. when he comes to die ought to have his funeral notice and the usual resolutions of his fraternity printed on a fence board with a rubber stamp. And when be has a baby at his house, or a party, or a son or daughter gets married, or when tbe neighbors hring in a wedding anniversary donation, a full account of the important events might OR printed on packing paper and tacked on the tront door. And when he is a candidate for office he might stamp a label to that effect and paste it on the bosom of bis trousers. If be has an important advertisment ot set before the people be could stamp ap a display on some manila paper which would read, "I have for sale at cheaper rates the very same things other folks are advertising in the DISPATCH.

Nearly 7,000 members of the nobility, the clersry and the gentry had gathered, with foreign princes, ambassadors, co-" Ionia 1 rulers, Indian potentates and leaders from the farthest quarters of the globe where the union jack flies, to do honor to the king. Two incidents In the service in the abbey will live in the memory of all who witnessed them. The first of these, which almost developed into a dramatic contretemps, centered around the aged archbishop of Canterbury. From the commencement of the service the archbishop had the greatest difficulty in reading or remembering tho prayers. The book from which his Almost blind eyes endeavored to read <ih'*>k In his hands, and when he came to place the crown upon King Edward's head, his huge frame, towering ibove the seated king, swayed so violently that the bishop of Winchester had to support him. while the dean of Westminster put a guarding hand unlet' tho crown.

There was a cloud hanging over the -distant mountain peak, and occasionally the low muttering of far-off thunder could be heard, but it did not disturb the young pleasure seekers, who had come out from Fresno, California, to have a good time. One tall, gracef u l girl whose golden hair and deep blue eyes would have attracted aay beholder, waa standing in the shadow of a tree, whither she had wandered alone. She took very little Interest in the sports of her youthful companions, no more youthful, however, than herself. As she strolled under the shades of the pines her pale blue parasol half concealed a face that was exquisite in Us loveliness. *"Oh, Laura, why are you alone?" asked a pretty, dark-eyed girl leaning on the arm of her lover as she passed. -""There- are plenty of young fellows ^who would be glad to take Paul's -^piac&__ShAnjLtelHhjem they can?" "Thank you, Nellie; I dai net want them," while a faint smile flitted over her face. At thi3 moment another couple passed where the three stood, their face3 half hidden behind a pink erabrella. Nellie, smiling, said: "There goes Clarence and Nellie Bush. People say they are to be married in the spring and start for the Klondike." Laura sighed and her little friend went on. Th3 gaze of Laura Kean was now riveted on Clarence Berry and Ethel Bush. The rumor that they were going to that strange, far-off northern country awakened in hor mind a new interest in them. Ethel Bush was one cf her dearest friends, and Clarence and Paul had been boys together. As Clarence and Ethel sat in the shade of a tree, they built anew their air castles amid the glaciers and icebergs of the frozen north. "I hope I don't intrude,'' sa|d a iwoet, silver-like voice, and, looking up, they beheld their friend Laura Kean standing near, a smile on her pretty face. "My excuse for coming ia to discuss your intended journey to the Klondike. I have heard you are going in the early spring." "We have so decided," Clarence Berry answered. "And if agreeable I have decided to accompany you." Ethel Bush was delighted, and declared if they could find a preacher in Alaska the wedding would be celebrated in the frozen north. The three sat on the green and planned and talked with increasing enthusiasm, and Laura, with her pretty face beaming with happiness, arose, left the lovers to themselves, while she strollad down the grove, that her mind might conjure up her lover's joy and surprise a t meeting her In those faraway regions. Unconsciously she strolled deep into the wood and was lost to the sight of her. friends, when a footstep near caused her to start in surprise if not alarm. Before her stood a young man of twenty-eight, with a pale cast of countenance and keen blue eye. He wTas of a figure that might have been called handsome, but to Laura Kean he was repulsive. She gav« him a glance and gasped: "Mr. Lackland!" Theodore Lackland had followed Laura to this picnic and into this wood with a set pin pose in his heart- He was wealthy, a young man of good family and reputed ability, but a man of firm and fixed purposes. To accomplish an end he would go to almost any limit He h*1 known. Paul Miller long before he set oh' for the Klondike and hated him because lis loved Laura Kean. Why should this beautiful girl, the only woman whom he had ever loved, prefer this rude, peanUess country boy to himself? Mr. Lackland tailed to realize what so many have in this life—that it is the soul that attracts and net the face and figure. There Is no freemasonry so subtle'a3 the freemasonry of the scul. "I am pleased to set*4 you happy, Mis3 Kean," he said. "There has always been something wrong with mo, ar.d ^fhile others are happy I am sad." "Surely it is a morbid fancy," said La>:ra. The light was dying out in ker eyes. She made one quick downward look at the path, as if wishing to pass him. He observed her glance f.nd said: "No, no, Laura, wait a moment; I have something of great importance to say to you, which I must say now. "I have just been told that you have decided to go to Alaska in the spring." He looked earnestly into the girl's glowing face, and added, with deliberation: "Laura, there a r * reasons why you •houJd not undertake *ucb a Journey." **U Ethel Bush can go, why not If* He ra not anawer immediately, but stood af the side of the path carelessly kicking the leaves with the toe of hie boot. At last he answered: "Laura, if your love had been a great love, you must have read my secret, just as I have read yours." In a low tone he continued: "Long ago I knew that you loved", or thought you loved Paul Miller. I saw it before he did—even T>efore you realized it" . The rod glow covered her cheeks more deeply than before. She was silent, and he was tramping nervously backward and forward. Then he went on rapidly in a tone of irritation. "Laura, I understand you. It is not for a rude man like this Alaskan miner to do so," Then in an eager voice he raid?" "Dearest^~i- hr-tng y4w~a--laxe~ undreamed of among such low creatures.'* "Low creatures!" she bissed,ialmost breathlessly. His cheeks quivered; his lips trembled; his voice swelled, while his nervous fingers were riveted to his palm. He approached her and took her hand. She seemed benumbed by the feeling. She stood as one transfixed, a slow paralysis of surprise taking hold of her faculties. But at his touch her senses regained their mast e r y . S h e flung away his hand. Her breast heaved. In a voice charged with Indignationshesaid^ - "So this is what you mean! I understand you at last!" Theodore Lackland fell back a pace. "Laura, hear me—hear me again." But she had found her voice at last. "Sir, you have outraged my feelings as much as if I was at this moment Paul Miller's wife!" Theodore Lackland felt his self-contrcl rapidly slipping away, and in th? height of his passion said: "You shall never marry Paul Miller, Laura Kean! I swear it! I hold your fate and his in my hand, and have mere ways of crushing you than you imagine. Ee sensible; recall your insulting words, and do not throw yourself away on that impecunious ne'erdo- well—a hulking brute, made for a pick-ax and shovel •" "Enough!" she cried. "I would rather marry a plow-boy than such a 'gentleman' as you!" • Face to face, eye to eye, with panting breath and scornful looks, there they stood for one moment; then Laura, without a word, swung about and walked away to where her friends were preparing to return to town. The features of Theodore Lackland underwent a frightful change. The* gathering thunder cloud was not more black than his face. He raised his clenched fist to heaven and cursed his rival, heedless of the rolling thunder and on-coming storm. "It is a long way to the Klondike," he finally muttered, while the smile of a devil flitted over his face; "but. great as the distance is, he will feel my power, and so shall she." A heavy peal of thunder and the falling of rain roused him to the fact that the little excursion had all gone, leaving him alone in the wood and storm. He hurried to where his horse and buggy were, and, leaping in, drove furiously tn town. He took the train that night to San Francisco and spent a whole day in consultation with two ill-favored looking men. In a few weeks Laura had forgotten ths unpleasant scene with the wealthy Mr. Lackland. She was busy preparing for the journey in the spring. It was the last of February, and on the next day Laura was to draw her money from the savings bank and put it in the hands of a friend to secure hor a passage and outfit for the Klondike. Late in the afternoon she saw a great crowd of men on the street talking in an excited manner, and a moment later Mr. O'Bourne, the butcher, came running toward her, wringing his hands. "What is the matter, Mr. O'Bcurne?" she asked. "We are ruined, Miss Kean; we are ruined. The. savings bank has failed; can't pay a cent!" She grew dizzy and clutched at the door for support. Quickly all her bright dreams of • urprising hor li'ver vanished. Mrs. Miller consoled her with the assurance that the loss would be mads up by ihe great fortune Paul was taking from the. Klondike. A few days Inter she learned that the bank had been wrecked by Mr. Tom Harris, th? cashier, speculating on San Francisco Beard of Trade. Later came the whisper that Harris had fled to avoid arrest, but before going had confessed his crime, and said that "he was induced by .Sir. Lackland to speculate. He went on the wrong side of the market and was ruined. The evening post brought Laura a letter. It was addressed in the wellbeloved hand of Paul Miller. Brt there was something in the chirography to alarm her. It was in a scrawling, feeble hand, and with many misgivings she broke the seal and glanced at the contents. Then, with face ashen white, she shrieked: "Wounded, robbed, ruined!" and fell senselMss to the fl^cr. Ethel Bush, Warning of hor frtend't] TB3B SJ?I€J5 O f L I F trouble, hastened to see Laura, who sank iq rapid)? under the double.blow that she was confined to her bed. flthfil trtft* to y—wdf *** "Don't worry, dear.

"Will you take a message to him from me, Ethel?" "Yes, dear, a thousand." "Warn him, Ethel; warn him!" "Of whom or what shall I warn him, dear?" "Of Theodore Lackland, He is our evil genius." "I fear you wrong Mr. Lackland." "No, no; he threatened me last autumn when we were up the valley to the picnic. I forgot it at the time, but it is all very fresh and vivid to my -mind now." .. 39= mm- EFFORTS OF THB FVNNY*IEK TO OfUVe AWAY DULL CARi.

On the 15th they were married" al"t' sn^eY.--JvYatuli--*«akes4 the pretty little church in Fresno, and \ co'se, impossible!" their friends in great numbers gathered about them to congratulate them and bid them a tearful adieu. Next day the bride and groom took their departure tor San Francisco. Laura imprinted a kiss on the young bride's lips and whispered: "Give it to him! Oh, I wish I could go with you!" They went to San Francisco, where they met the remainder of their party bound for the Klondike. Among the party was a tall young fellow named Dick Ronald, from Seattle, who from his height soon acquired the soubriquet of Long Dick. There were half a dozen other men, some young and some middle-aged, but Ethel was the only lady in the party bound for the frozen north. The voyage and journey to Juneau was made withput any unusual discomfort, but from that on it became perilous and every mile marked with danger. They engaged some Indians as guides and an Esquimaux with the euphonious name of Umstich, which Long Dick translated for convenience into "Hemstitch." Umstitch was engaged as a sort of general superintendent of the dogs and sleds, of which they had several to convey themselves and packs across the bleak, white deserts, the dog being the only animal capable of making those journeys in all weather. The accommodations for the young bride were poor, but Clarence did the very best he could for her. They carried a stove and tent, and every night the latter was pitched in some spot where the snbw was hard. Beds of boughs were made, and Ethel was wrapped in furs until there was little chance for her to suffer from cold. She rode all the way from Juneau to the mining camp well muffled in bearskin robes and furs, strapped on a sled or boat as the case might be. and while this method of travel was much better than walking, the uncertainty of her position made it anything but comfortable.

As usual after making a trip of any extent we shall endeavor to give our readers a glimpae of "what we saw and how w e saw it" or in other words how we weie j j _ impressed by w h a t we aaw.. l u t h e s e d a j s of rapid transit and palace cars with cheap excursions and home-seekers rates to the western states, a trip to Chicago and further is taken by a good many of o u r readers each year, b u t there are probably those like ourselves who have never been west of Chicago and who will be as interested in what we saw and perhaps as surprised at s o m e th i c gs a s w e were. With this thought in view we will t r y and make our article as plain as possible to convey our meaning and will give you first CHICAGO AS WE SAW IT. When people visit a great city some will be impressed with one thing and others with another. The one thing that impressed us about Chicago was t h e fact that the second greatest city of t h e United States is builded upon a soft foundation or where t h e civil engineers have to use all their power of ingenuity to build a solid foundation. New York's foundation is solid rock, and except to blast this out, builders have had few foundation problems to face. Consequently their wits and ingenuity have not been exercised in this direction, and their contributions to this phase of building science have been few. I n Chicago t h e city's foundation is just as safe as tnat of New York, once the blue clay bed is penetrated, b u t getting to that bed and utilizing it has required the highest degree of skill. Caissons have been sunk, foundation wells and o t h . r inventions, b u t the steel or wood pile driven one upon the other deep into the earth and then grouted or left as they are, appear to provide a supporti n g base not equaled by anything else, even rock. T h e serious objection to a polid rock basis is t h e enormous cost of blasting it out. J u s t because originally Chicago as to soil foundation was not the most favorable spot in t h e world for a large city, their engineers have defied every obstacle of nature and conquered. They have not only conquered but we find in Chicago some of the largest and finest feats of engineering in t h e world. If we stand on the crest of the dome of the Masonic Temple and look o u t over the city, at Taylor street we see the largest bascule bridge in t h e world; a t Halstead street the largest tower hoist bridge i n existence; at Campbell avenue the largest eight-track railroad bridge ever built; at Kobey street the beg i n n i n g of t h e longest, deepest and most effective drainage channel man has ever made; at Rush street the largest shipping and receiving port of any city; at South Chicago the greatest grain elevators known; at Randolph street the first steel sheathing coffer dam ev«r sunk in water; at Sixteenth street t h e most difficult track elevation problem yet solved by man. L a n d is so expensive in Chicago that many buildings a r e being raised higher and other stories added to the structure. T h e Masonic Temple i s proving too small and another story is to be added to t h e 21 a k e a d y completed. A man took t h e elevator j o u r - ney to tfie dome of t h e Temple t h e other day and s a t down under t h e time ball. ' H e h a d a pencil and a pad in his h a n d and h e was quite unconcerned a s to the probtem before him. A little man who was with h im walked around nervously and talked. "Now," said he to the man with t h e pad, "another story is needed up here. You just find o u t how we can get it. W e wish to d r o p •the floor beneath t h e d o m e j p t h e Railroad Time Foldors. The average person who picks up a railroacl time folder does not realise the enormous amount of work which the-preparation of such a publication Involves. The "Dig" ttUTttiigton system, for instance, has a geiu'i'ui time folder made up from sixteen different division time tables. The folder contains 2,000 names of towus, gives the schedules of over 500 trains, and whenever there is a change in time (W.000 figures have to be carefully cheekod and corrected.

German Syrup. Hold by nil drn»/gists in the civilized w< rid. G. G. GiiFKX. VY' odbury, N. •' he yawned, f "»r fear h e would seem too interested in t h e subject. " I believe," h e said, "we can do the j o b in a mouth or six weeks and n o t disturb anyone. The letting down of t h e floor is comparatively an easy matter. I guess a little compressed air will raise t h e roof. We can uncover t h e skeleton construction of t h e dome, place jacks beneath it, and by t h e application of a i r raise t h e whole roof a t one time. We can hold it u p on the air, too, until we have the new supports underneath a n d permanently fixed. T h e interior finishing will be an easy matter." H e and the little man h a d a few words and t h e matter was settled. Next October t h e builders will come with yards of cable and chains, tackle and jackscrews, a n d as unconcernedly as though merely moving a frame shanty will hoist u p the largest dome roof in t h e West, lower a floor and create t h e new story desired. And this is Chicago as we saw i t T h e charm, the life, the greatness of Chicago lies in t h e fact that it is a city of doing; that it knows no impossibilities; t h a t while it is yet crude, u n finished, smoky and soiled, it "gets there."

THE VILLAGH DIRECTORY, Edited by the W.? 0. |T .F.^otiPlnokney T h e German government proposes t o t a k e definite &tef>& in t h e direction of controlling t h e sale of intoxicants in Prussia. Count Douglas has introduced a measure into t h e deit which is supposed t o represent t h e eniperoi's views. I t prohibits t h e sale of spirits containing fusil oil or other injurioue e l e m e n t s ; their sale in t h e early morning hours before work"" begins, o r to intoxicated persons, or persons under sixteen, or those designated b y t h e police a s habitual drunkards. Dr. T. D. Crothers, editor of t h e American Q a a r t e r ' y J o u r n a l of I n e b r i e t y , says o n this subject: " I n a report which I made before the American Society for t h e S t u d y of Iuebriety where t h e hist o r i e s o f 1,744 -inebriates-- were studied, 1,080 had a distinct history of heredity. Many of these cases were direct heredities, t h e impulse to drink passing down from father to child with great exactness. Usually the transmission of a drink impulse ends in extinction of t h e race after t h e second generation, UDt always b y inebriety or d r u g raking, b u t b y other diseases which a r e encouraged by t h e low vitality of t h e victim." u U u t o t h e third a n d fourth generation," says Holy Writ. W h e n t h e rural free delivery system was first advocated, few urged its adoption as a means of increasing temperance, Y e t if th© following conversation with a village saloonkeeper, reported b y an eastern daily, be true, t h e a d - vent of the system should be hailed with delight by all enemies of the nefarious traffic: " W h y " said Mr. Saloonkeeper, "when m e n came into town every day for t h e j . acd;0op. ui., vespers and benediction at 7: mail they were sure to drop into | _ my place while they waited; every body drauk, everybody treated everybody e h e and it made trade lively. Now the farmers come into town b u t two or three times a week and more often b u t once, and the worst of i t is they don't happen to come in together, for they only come in for groceries o r some other s«tipp iet«, anil no t w o men's- supplies are apt to give at exactly the same time. T h i s , you see, does away with the matter of treating and reduces trade tremendously, I t ' s ruining business, I tell you." VILLAGE OFFICERS. PRESIDENT . . . _ . ^ . , . . . , . . . o . L.

In the great business world no man now thinks of succeeding with inferior machines. The farmer that keeps cows should take the lesson to heart and discard all dairy machines— cows—that a r e not up t o modern requirements. No matter what a machine costs, it is better t o throw it out on the dump than use it at a constant loss. Only good dairy Lost, perct. j machines can be profitably used. The good cows make butter at a profit. The ordinary dairy cows make butter without profit or loss, and the poor cows make butter at a loss. Now i t is evident that no matter how much a cow costs, it is best to send her t o the butcher if she either loses money , or makes butter with no profit. There ' are in the hands of farmers many , cows that have cost a good deal of money once and were perhaps good cows at one time, but have outlived their usefulness. These should be fattened up at once and sent to the \ butcher. Some men say they will fat- | ten and dispose of their cows a few j months hence, when they have dried ] up. But what is the use of keeping J cows at all if they are losing money j for their owners every day. T h e ^'i 4;i M 48 51 53 6-' .761 M\ I .543 .ft-'8 ! .467 !

One of the officers of the state dairy commission declares that the time is near a t hand when the co-operative creameries will have to fight for existence.

I In the meantime some of the big j packing firms of Chicago are taking { steps to secure control of the output of a good many creameries in the state, paying, a n advance over t h e market price for the goods. The firms are evidently planning to spend a good deal of'money in the development of this new line of interest. The near future will see tremendous changes in t h e butter trade. The event to be feared is the formation of an immense butter trust that can control the price paid the producers and also the price to be paid for buttei I" the consumer. per bu.

Our advice is, therefore, not to wait for the fungus, but to organize a campaign at once for the immediate relief of the crop, depending upon the fungus to finish the work by destroylng the bugs which would otherwise live over winter to menace the crops of next year. The chinch bug, though able to fly, prefers to travel on the ground, and it* migration from wheatL to oats or corn may be intercepted by making a V-shaped trench, as with the corner of a hoe or the outside tooth of a cultivator, and pouring in a little coal tar. A line of tar an inch across will be sufficient. When a crust forms over the tar It must be freshened with a new supply. As the bugs enter the cornfield their progress may be impeded by frequent cultivation of the outside rows of corn, thus burying many of the bugs. When they cluster on the stalks of corn they may be killed by sprinkling with kerosene emulsion, made as follows, and thrown with sufficient force to wash them off the corn: Kerosene Emulsion—Dissolve half a pound of eoap in one gallon of water and heat to boiling; remcvo from the P.re and while hot add two gallons of coal oil, churnirq the mixture with a force pump for fifteen minutes or until it resembles buttermilk. To each quart of this emulsion add fifteen quarts of water and apply with spray pump or sprinkling pot.—Chas. E.

"One thing that lmprpmnw the stranger is the houses without fences around them," remarked an English* man at the Waldorf-Astoria to a New \ork Herald reporter. "In England, when we build our houses, we put wails around them, and build the walls so high that no one can look over. "Not that we are ashamed to be seen, but because every man's houso Every Facility. The testing of cows as to their milk quality and production may seem something that takes a good deal of time. This is not so, if every facility be provided. Scales should be arranged in the stable and near the cows, so as soon as a man has milked his cow he can step to the hook, hanii his pail on.it for a second, record the weight, register it on the chart hanging on the wall and go his way. This takes but a moment's time. But every facility should be provided. The scales should not be sitting on a table or bench where it will take a dozen unnecessary steps to reach them, Uut should be on the nearest wall. The milk sheets also should be tacked to the wall and a pencil should be hanging near it. If the record Is kept in a book it takes a minute or so to find the book, open to the page and make the record. This Is too much time to have to devote to this work at the milking of each cow. If the sheet is placed on the wall the work is almost Jnstahtly dope. The arrangements for "testing should be also comploto^ If composite samples are to be taken the spoon for stirring the milk should be ready and the bottles into whica to pour the samples. No extra steps should be necessary and no extra manual labor. Every facility being present will make the work popular and lead to its continuance. Lack of facilities will cause the work to be neglected in the case of emergencies on the farm and this in turn will render the tests and weighings of less value than they would otherwise be. Nurse Crops. It appears from our results that nurse crops, as a rule, are inadvisable. Barley is the best, as it is more open and does not shade the young clover and grass plants so much, and as it comes off the ground earlier than other cereals, it does not extract so much moisture and leave it in such a dry condition. Oa;s, wucat and rye are not considered successful nurse crops, and in fact our experiments indicate that It would be much better to discard the nurse crop altogether and devote the land exclusively to seeding to clover and grass. The attempt to "kill two birds with one stone" in that it Is hoped to get a crop of wheat and also a crop oi grass anu clover from the soil during tno same year has been c~own to be a failure so repeatedly that further discussion is unnecessary.—Andrew M. Soule. Fruit that the farmer picks from his own vines, bushes or trees, is far superior Jor home use to that that is purchased in the market. Market fruit must be picked before it is at its best, while the fruit for the farmer's table can be picked *t its best as it is needed.

No one could remember, although Just why a waiter should not be seen with glasses as well as any other man was not apparent •It's just like the wearing of beards," iwent on the inquisitor "The proprietors of our important hotels, restaurants and cafes will not permit either beards or glasses to be worn by their waiters. It Is possible that in some old fashioned fumily or commercial hotel the servitors may be found with their noses straddled by optical helps, but you won't find 'em along Broadway. "Now, this is a fact worthy of note because In every other calling In life the number of persons wearing glasses is on the increase, and even in our schools a considerable percentage of very small children will be found wearing glasses, and while, as I say, hotel, restaurant and cafe proprietors are opposed to the glasses, still 1 have seldom found a waiter whose eyes In* dlcated that he waa in the slightest need of them. "You may argue that restaurant waiters are generally young men. Grant you that instantly, but all the tame thousands of men of similar age have to wenr them In almost every other occupation. "The majority of those servitors tommence in boyhood, and the demand of their vocation causes no strain on the eyesight Consequently that may account In a measure for the absence of any necessity for the use of specs. Moreover, the steam from hot viands would render them useless probably."— New York Telegram. A Stmyle Hatter.
