HOWELL., M I C H . OBITUARY. ALPH0U8E CRANE Alphonse Crane was a Michigan man from birth to death. He was born in Pitts fie Id, Washtenaw county, Oct. 6,1848. He was the oldest child of William W. and Rachel Crane, who lived by farming. The family soon after moved to Argentine, Genesee county, and in '54 to Pine River township, in Gratiot county, and in '59 returned to Pitts field to make no futher changes. It is after this last move that Mr. Crane, then 12 years old, first crossed the threshold of a public or district school. Up to that time his father had been his tutor, from necessity, no school being in his part of Gratiot county. This district school formed all the advantages he ever had of a specific nature for education. Besides that he used books by himself and took lessons in the great school of life. So well did he guide himself that he became a very close reasoner, and as readily followed, a very careful and accurate speaker. At the age of 19 he was converted and in 1875 he united with the M. E. church and in 1876 joined the Detroit conference and has been a faithful expounder of the word up to his death, which orcured at St. Luke's hospital Marquette, Saturday morning, May 16, where he had been taken for treatment. He had suffered for years from diabetes, from which he died, blood poisoning having intervened. He was buried not tef from his childhood home and birt&place in Anderson, Livingston county, funeral services having been held at Newberry, on Monday and at Anderson on Wednesday. The funeral services at Anderson were especially impressive there being several ministers present of the M. E., Cong'l and Baptist denominations and each bore testimony in regard to the work of tho deceased brother and when the time came six ot them bore his remains to the last resting place in the Sprout cemetery. He was married March 6, 1877, to Miss Eunice E^> Sprout of Anderson. The children are Charles Herman, born July, 1878, now a teacher at Carlsand, Marquette county, Ella May, now Mrs. Cruffman, of the Soo and George a lad of 14 all of whom are left to mourn their loss with a large Hored-attd—re^- Shoes for Ladles Shoes for Men Shoes for Misses Shoes fop Boys' Shoes for Children A beautiful Glass Medallion with every pair of Shoes from $2.00 and over.

Whitneys show, greater, better, more complete than ever will give an exhibition in Pinckney, tomorrow. Lots of fun, good wholesome laughter —do not miss it. A couple Pinckney ladies were seen one day last week, wending their way to the pond with fishing .tackle and bait. After sitting on the bank all the afternoon they were again seen making their way home by the back street with a small .'tang of minnows. . - - , An Ashtabula (Ohio) minister who has doubled the average attendance at his churcli by advertising every day in the newspapers denies that that method is sensational. "The newspaper" he declares, "is the proper instrument throasjb. whioh to address the people on any worthy subject, whether it be business or religion." He thinks that he would be lemiss if he should fail to use the immense influence of newspaper advertising. • « * The advance a^ent for the old reliable Whitney Family was in town Friday last billing the place for an exhibition to be given here Friday evening ot this week, May 29.

"I have been thoughtless, Cornelia, selfish, I dare say, but I do not with to be so. Tell me, my dear, what has happened. Did you quarrel with George Hyde? And pray what was it about?" "We never had one word of any kind, but words of affection. He wrote and asked roe if he could come and see my father about our marriage, on a certain night. I answered his letter with all the love that was in my heart for him, and told him to come and see my father that very night. He never came. He never sent me the least explanation. He never wrote to me, or spoke to me again." "If what you have told me be so— and I believe it is—then I say Lord George Hyde is an intolerable scoundrel." "I would rdther not hear him spoken of in that way." "Very well! I would rather have a man 'intolerably rude' like ray nephew Rem, than one like' Lord Hyde who speaks well of everybody. Upon my word, I think that^^a the. worst kind of slander!" "1 think not." "It is, for it takes away the reputation of' good men by making all men alike. But this, that, or the other, I saw Lord Hyde In devoted attendance on Lady Annie. Give him up totally." "I have done so," answered Cornelia. And then she felt a sudden anger at herself, so much so, that as Bhe walked home, she kept assuring her heart with an almost passionate insistence, "I have not given him up! I will not give him up!

Then she laughed a little, and added, "I must take care and not make the mistake an American girl made, under much the same circumstances." "What was It?" Inquired Annie languidly. "She misdirected her letters and thus sent 'No' to the man whom of all others, she wished to marry." Aa Mary spoke a soft brightness seemed to pervade Annie's brain cells, and she could hardly restrain the exclamation of sudden enlightenment that rose to her lips. "Mary," she said, "what a strange incident! Did you know the girl?" . "I saw her once in Philadelphia. Mr. Van Ariens told me about her. She is the friend of his Bister the Marquise do Tounnerre."

Late summer on the Norfolk Broads! And where on earth can the lover of boats find a more charming resort? Close to the Manor of Hyde, the country home of Earl Hyde in Norfolk, there was one of these delightful Broads—flat as a billiard table, and hidden by the tall reeds which bordered it. But Annie Hyde lying at the open window of her room in the Manor House could see its silvery waters, and the black-sailed wherry floating on them, and the young man sitting at the prow fishing, and Idling, among the lilies and languors of these hot summer days. An aged man sat silently by her, a man of noble beauty, whose soul was in every part of his body, expressive and impressive—a fiery particle not always at its window, but when there, infecting and going through observers, whether they would or not. There had been silence for some time between them, and he did not appear disposed to break it, but Annie longed for him to do 'so. because she had a mystical appetite for sacred jthjngs_and_was never so happy and so much at IpesiTas when he was talking to her of them. "Dear father," she said finally, "I have been thinking of the past years, in which you have taught rco so much." It is better to lcok torward, Annie," he answered, "The traveler to Eternity must not continually turn back to count his steps, for if God be leading him. no matter how dangerous or lonely the road. 'He will pluck thy feet out of the net; " As he spoke these woi'os Mary Darner entered, and she laid her hand on his shoulder and said, "My dear Doctor Roslyn, after death what then? we are not all good—what then?" " He Jodked at her wistfully snd answered, "I win give you one thought, Mary, to ponder—the blessedness of heaven, is it not an eternity older than the misery of hell! Let your soul "Fearlessly follow where this fact leads it; for there is no limit to God's mercy." Then he rose and went away, and Mary sat down in his place, and Annie gradually came back to the material pjane of everyday life and duty. In- "Your servant, ladles." Her name is Cornelia Moran; and her father is a famous physician in New York." "And this beauty had two lovert?" "Yes; an Englishman of noble birth; and an American. They both loved her, ad she loved the Englishman. They must have both asked her hand on the same day, and she must have answered both letters In the same hour; and the letter she intended for the man she loved, went to the man she did not love. Presumably, the man she loved got the refusal she intended for the other, for he never sought her society again; and Mr. Van Ariens told me she nearly died in consequence." "And what became of the two lovers, Mary?" "The Englishman went back to England; and the American found another girl more kind to him." "I wonder what made Mr. Van Ariens tell you this story?" "He talked much of his sister, and this young lady was her chief friend and confidante." "When did it happen?" "A few days after his sister's marriage."

Alston, Mich., May 25pi.—Houghton County has never witnessed a more striking medical case than that of Mr. James Culet of this place. Mr. Culet had spent a small fortune with the best physicians in the coun* ty and in addition to this he has tried every medicine he could hear of.

He has no Rheumatism now and explains it thus: "One day I happened to see an advertisement of Dodd'a Kidney Pills and decided to try them. "I made up my mind to give them a good fair trial, as my case was a very bad one and was of over twenty years' standing. "I used altogether 42 boxes and X can truthfully say that they have driven out every trace of the Rheumatism.

Ottawa, Kan., May 28,1903. Editor DISPATCHj In order to let my friends know where I am I will drop you a few lines. We left Anderson Monday May 18, and arrived in Ottawa Tuesday night making good connections straight through. We got in Chicago at 9:50 p. m. and left at ten; that took through 111. in the night. We crossed the Missouri river at Ft. Madison, Iowa at daylight, run across the corner of Iowa into Missoua crossed the Mississippi into Kansas city at eleven aud left 2:35 arriving at Ottawa at four. What we saw of Mo. was not very good country. It was very hilly, with quite a growth of small timber in the eastern part and looks as though it would be bard work to farm it. The middle part of the state is perfectly level—the western is hilly again. On the whole I took it for a poor state. The soil is a heavy black clay and very sticky. They have had lots of rain and the roads are bad I noticed a wagon with the wheels solid with mud half way to the hubs. They use little scrubby mules instead of horses and it made me feel glad I dident shoe them. The buildings are poor material one story, and it looks as if they had set them in the ground like a fence post instead of putting them on a wall, some were sdt up a foot or so on posts or blocks and open underneath. I like Kansas better than Mo. There is more of an air industry about it, the farms and buildings are better. I rode out in the country yesterday about eight miles with a friend and I never saw any nicer farms in my life. The ground is rolling enough to give good natural drainage and of a good quality.

Miss Charteris walked down the prim gravel walk between the low green barberry hedge. She held daintily aside the skirt of her crisp, white wrapper, lest it be touched by the ' wet twigs on either side. Her spirited gold 'brown head turned to left and right as she mentally calculated the floral wealth of her little garden. None would have dreamed that over that same radiant head thirty summers had passed, so girlishly slender was the erect ami graceful figure, so smooth the white brow, so luminous the long, pansy-purple eyes under the slim black brows. She had swung the basket from her arm and wassnipping from the great snowball bush at the end of the path its first contribution, when a voice came piping to her from over the gate. "Mis' Chart'ris, you got ma's dress done?" "Just finished it at 12 last night, Billy!" She Bmiled at the freckled faced boy as she moved to go back to the house. She returned, carrying a bundle wrapped in newspapers. "There —don't crush it, laddie!" The boy-lingered, shamefacedly. He was not a bad lconJng boy, barring the freckles. He kept casting furtive glances at a second-story window in the little cream-colored cnttage, where the blinds were still drawv. "Is—is she " a jerkiog thumb indicating the house, "goin' with you to the cem'try?" • "Rosine?" Miss Charteris was ruthlessly snipping off every robin which had presumed to show its blue head in the long bed border. "O, she will go! Her mother is buried there, you know. Rosine will go with me." "I'm goin', too!" blurted Billie. Then, as though overwhelmed by the magnitude of the admission, he skipped away, his mother's dress crushed recklessly against his throbbing heart, and his bare feet, as yet guiltless of tan, kicking up a dust which hid his fiery blushes. "An' I'll wear my new clothes," chanted Billie. 'Til wear my best clothes—an' a collar!" It was a royal burden Jean- Charteris had gathered when at last she laid the shears in the basket brimful of blooms. There were trailing sprays of white and gold springa stars, peonies, pink and crimson, and white; honeysuckle, amber and rose, and carmine; blush roses, pale, and velvety; sweetbriar, delicately, yet intensely fragrant, and many a single flower which, courierlike, had blossomed in prophetic beauty. Back of the glittering window glass of the little home she approached were the glowing house plants which were soon to be transferred to the garden. These, rising tier on tier, glowing geraniums, fragrant heliotrope, brilliant hibiscus, golden mignonette, were destined with their hardier brethren to yield tribute to death. "Aunt Jean—Auntie Jean!" rang a fresh young voice. "I'm dressed— Nora dressed me! O, may I help you fix the flowers? And how soon may we go oh the hill?" Jean laid her basket on a hall chair Just in time to catch in her outflung arms the slim little white figure flying down the stairs. "You shall help me, my precious!" she promised. And she touseled the clustering curls on the dark little head and pressed with her ow# the rosy lips that were ripe for kisses. Breakfast over, the two settled to work, for Rosine had decided views of her own as to the relative merits of set designs in contradiction to the preference of Mi3s Charteris for less formal symbols. And all the time the hazel eyes sparkled and the restless little tongue talked trippingly on. "You have to work awful hard, don't | you, Auntie Jean? Did you get Billie's mother's dress done? Did Billie come for it? I'd like Billie—if he wasn't j freckled. Nora says you used to be rich. She says you lived in that big stone house with the fountain in the yard. She says my mamma was rich, too, until after my papa went away and left her. And then she came to live in this little weeny house with you. And then God wanted her. What made you and my mamma get poor? And why doesn't my papa come back? And why wouldn't God let my mamma stay here? And does she know when we put all these pretty flowers on her grave?" So for the two in the bright little room, plain to severity save for its books and "green things growing" and air of indefinable refinement, the perfect day wore on. If now and then Jean's sweet face paled and her sensitive lips quivered, these the absorbed little maiden did not notice at all. How should a prattling child, busy with a wreath, dream that her words might wound? They stood at the gate to see the procession wind by—the hobbling veterans, the women of the Relief Corps, the townspeople in vehicles and afoot, the uniformed band, the excited children running at either side. But the sun had gone down in a splendor of scarlet and gold, the streets were being fast deserted, and all the air was still steeped in amber brilliance, when Jean Charteris and the little girl carried their treasures between them up the green velvet sward of that sloping hill, sacred to silence and to sweet, safe slumber. The grave yard knew now no presence save their own. On several graves were flags—on the greater number flowers. But some were bare of bloom. And from one to another of these the late-comers moved, leaving some sprays on each. Then they fymght a certain corner, where a simple stone recorded briefly a young wife's death. "You shall place them all," said Jean Charteris. She gave Rosine the basket, and stood leaning against the marble shaft, her black, trailing gown outlining her slender form, her head drooping as though in weariness. With unconscious elation the child went about her task. And afar in the road Billie watched her. Billie. stiff in hls~ FesT^unffay-suit, tortured by new shoes, agonized by an unaccustomed collar. So absorbed was he in following every movement of his idol he did not hear the step approaching. He turned with a hasty exclamation at a touch on his shoulder—turned to confront a man who was decidedly a stranger. : The latter pointed to the dark figure by the stone. "Who," he asked, "is that?" "That's Miss Charteris. She lives in the little old Chilton cottage now. She makes dresses." "My God!" the man murmured. "Has It come to this with Jean?" Conscious of the boy's sharp scrutiny the man took from his pocket two pieces of metal—one brass, one silver. "Here take these down to the agent. Give him the check and tell him to send my trunk to the hotel. You may keep the dollar!" Billie grabbed the money and siniultaneuously uttered a yell. "Ro-sine!" He was valiant enough in this plutocratic hour. "Ro-sine! Come on! I'm goin* to buy candy!" A final placing of the last wreath, an eager question, an answering nod from the bowed head—then the child was, flying toward the road through the mellowing radiance of the fading light, shouting questions to Billie as she came. Something in the skimming flight of the agile little body, in her voice, in the shape of the curl-clustered head, caused the stranger to put out a detaining hand. "What," he cried, "is your name, little one?" "Rosine!" She wrested herself free. "Let me go with Billie. My name's Rosine—Rosine Raymond!" Then she was dashing down the hill after the fortunate Billie. The man, tall, straight, and soldierly, with prematurely silvered hair and .dark mustache, went striding across the green space that intervened between him and that quiet woman by the white shaft. "Jean!" he cried hoarsely. "Jean Charteris!" A low, shivering cry broke from the woman. She stiffened erect— stood as if frozen. "Tell me," he begged, "about that— that child! She says her name is Jean, is she " The shock of his coming had left her weak and shaking. It was with an effort she spoke. "Yes—she is your child. Do you learn it now for the first time?" "God help me—yes. I did not dream there might be a child. When a few months after our marriage I learned how Rose had deceived me I was furious. I had confided in her. I told her how I loved you. And she—she spoke of your engagement to Will Clement. Her sympathy was sweet. There was no question of a heart befhg caught in the rebound. Never save for one woman has my heart beaten a pulse the faster. She knew this when we were married. But she hoped—until the day some months after our marriage when a chance word during a chance meeting with Clement, brought the whole truth out. You had refused him. And this Rose knew when she told me the contrary. I settled everything I possessed on her and went away, vowing never to look upon her faoe again!" The weary, bitter voice ceased. "We shall speak-of-tirts now," said Jean Charteris. slowly, "and then— never again! The bank in which you had deposited was the same which controlled my father's business. When the defalcation came Rose's money and ours was sucked down in the whirlpool. Father did not long survive the blow. Rose could do nothing. She had been brought up in idleness— In luxury, Besides she was ill—and miserably unhappy. So—I was always clever as a seamstress—she came to me, and we were comfortable—quite comfortable together. Two years ago a sharp attack of pneumonia ended— all! Rosine was then 4." "Yon took her into your home and your life," said the man in a voice that —though low—shook with passion. "You supported her and her child! It | you had known her treachery "Hush!" The soft word was imperious. She pointed to the flowerstrewn mound below. "Hush! She is here! Besides—I did know!" "You knew it? When—how?" "The day you went away. Rose came to me. . She told me—the truth." The last gleam of sunset had faded. Amethystine shadows crept up the draws. But in the clear afterglow they saw each other quite distinctly— the two who stood in silence there. When he spoke it was in a voice that thrilled her—the voice of the lover of her youth. "Jean—will you'come to me—now?" She answered: "First say to her, I j forgive you, dear!" For an instant ho stood irresolute. Then slowly he sank on one k n e e - bowed his bared head over the masses of perfumed bloom. When he rose and held out his hand she laid her own within it, and thus they walked to the gate and down the road toward the] village, where the lights were beginning to gleam. "You are tired," he said, and slipped his arm around her. "I have made a new fortune in a new world, Jean. You shall work no more." Rosine and Billie were feasting merrily in the cottage when the two turned in at the garden gate. "To think,' said Jean, as they went up betwixt the low barberry borders dew-silvered in the moonlight, "that it was only this morning I walked here —alone—and so sad—save for the child!" "Ah. the child:" he said, softly— hungrily. "Much may happen in a day, my Jean!" "Somewhere." she said, lifting a face j still glowing from his kisses, "I read— this: "Between Calvary day and Easter day—earth's saddest day and gladdest day—lay but one day!" "My beloved!" he murmured. Then as Billie fled laughing by them they passed into the purple gloom of the porch, toward the open door, from which the lamplight streamed, making a path cf white loveliness for their feet!

A recent bulletin of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture Quotes O. W. Waters as follows: "We will now state two proposition* beating on economy of production. First, while the pig is not considered primarily a grazing animal, from the fact that he cannot be expected to make gains and grow fat if turned onto common pasture grass like cattle, Bheep or mules, yet, as a matter of fact the pig will make better returns for the amount of grass eaten than any other farm animal. More* over, the pasture will increase the efficiency and value of the grain fed in connection with i t The second proposition Is this: The pig is a grass feeder and will eat too much of rich feeds, as grain, more tnan he can use economically, more than he can digest well, consequently greater gains from a given amount of corn are obtained if the pig is fed less than be can or will eat. This statement applies with especial force in cases of a long feeding period. The two propositions just announced, are brought out in thj following report of tests made at the Wisconsin station, six lots of pigs being used: "Lot 1, full fed, in a dry lot, gained 1.15 pounds per day and used 537 pounds of corn in making 100 pounds of gain. "Lot 2, full fed, on clover pasture, gained 1.30 pounds per day, and used 417 pounds of corn in making 100 pounds of gain. "Lot 3, three-fourths full, on clover pasture, gained 1.20 per day and used 377 pounds of corn in making 100 pounds of gain. "Lot 4, one-half full, clover pasture, gained .87 pounds per day and required 352 pounds of corn to make 100 pounds of gain. "Lot 5, one-fourth full, clover pasture, gained .64 pounds per day, and required 243 pounds of corn to make 100 pounds of gain. "Lot 5, no gain, clover pasture, gained .36 pounds per day. "In lot 2 there is a sudden drop over lot 1 in the amount of corn required. But in lot 3 there is a still larger drop. Nearly three bushels less of corn is required to produce 100 pounds of gain over dry lot feeding. For growing hogs a still larger reduction of corn is advisable. The rate of gain is slower, but it is vastly cheaper. It is however wise practice to full feed for the last 30 days before marketing." A Requisite in Poultry Raising. All classes of people may go into the raising of poultry and do it successfully. Sex* is no bar to success. In fact very many of our most successful poultry raisers are women. Some are semi-invalids who have given up the great lines of business and have been told by their family physician to get into something where they can be out of doors a great deal, but where the amount of manual labor will not be large. These and others'may succeed, but there is one requisite for all and that is interest in the business. The writer has known of people intending to go into the poultry business, when they hated the sight of a. live hen. Asked as to their reason for making the venture they replied that they had been told there was money in i t The Invariable advice given by the writer in such cases Is for the would-be investor to keep out of the business. Longfellow says "the heart giveth grace unto every arL" The person that has a deep interest in poultry can make a success of raising any kind of fowls, for he will not be stopped by the obstacles that are certain to be discovered in the way. The number of people tnat dislike to have poultry around is very large. But there are those that find great pleasure in caring for fowls. Sometimes it is one breed that strikes their fancy and sometimes another, but whatever it be, they can see beauty in it. The man that nas a real jLnterest in fowls will make a success of raising them, if conditions be at all favorable, but the fowl-hater is about sure to fail. Warm Shoes. From the Farmers' Review: Women suffering from cold feet could make for themselves warm and comfortable footwear by getting boy's felt boots and then purchasing broad soled slippers to fit over them. Usually It is necessary to split the slipper down to the toe, then make holes with an awl and lace with a shoe string. The slipper should be 1½ size larger than the shoe. For wear away from home, get an arctic one-half size larger than the shoe. Warm feet are essential to health and happiness and would lengthen the lives of many women who suffer from cold, especially those afflicted with lung troubles.—Mrs,' A * tell. ;** '^*Mi * ' ElJv *S '£J-*W3i4 ••v*1";- ii-'M. *?£ frfr^'VC 'W' ^ .«**,: >M *:A x;; !RM« Bfl i .4Sf&.' a.: i < * • ' - . • $ •» •-."•}>MN IOSCO Mrs. Herman Peters is still very low.

Tennyson's famous poem, * "Crossing the Bar," was written, says the present Lord Tennyson, in the poefB eightyfirst year, "on a day In October when we came from Aldworth to Farring* ford. Before reaching Farringford he had had the 'moaning of the bar' in his mind, and after dinner he showed me the poem written out." "That is the crown of your life's work," said his son, who was the first man after the poet to read "Crossing the Bar," and who passed the first criticism upon it in such fitting and generous language. "It came In a moment," said the poet, and he explained the pilot as the Divine and Unseen who is always guiding us. A day or two before he died the poet, calling his son to his bedside, said, "Mind you put 'Crossing the Bar* at the end of all editions of my poems." Rice Paper Not Made From RLoe. Rice paper is not made from rice nor from rice stalks, nor has it any connection whajtever with rice. It Is of Chinese "manufacture and is made from the-pith of a certain tree resembling toe elder.

This is pressed and other sheets added until the required thickness is secured. The papa* Is then rudely •Iced and is ready to use. It was called rice paper under the supposition that when it was first introduced into Europe it was made from rice stalks, and the name has never been changed.

Whales In the Thames, In former times tli' appearance of a whale In the river Thames was considered ominous. One was caught off Greenwich three months prior to the death of Oliver Cromwell, and the common opinion was expressed by Hoath In his "Flnsellum." "It pleased God," he remarks, "to usher in his end with a great whale three months before, June 2, that came up as far as Greenwich and there was killed.M Evelyn, In his "Diary," under the date of June 3, 1G58, mentions that a whale was killed off Greenwich and that It drew an "infinite concourse to see it by water, horse, coach and on foot from London and all parts." According to Robert Hubert, in his "Catalogue of Natural Rarities," the tongue of this whale was exhibited dally for some time at the "Miter, near <the west end of St. Paul's church." In February, 1887, another whale was caught In the Thames, and in the Times of that month appeared an advertisement for a piece of ground, some 40 feet by 60 feet, "on which to exhibit a whale." The piece of ground advertised for was found in the Mile End road, and the whale was exhibited'until March 14. In the same month— namely, on March 21 — expired the house of commons, which had been elected in 1852. ed." If you are in business and don't advertise you are in danger. This Is a warning. See your mistake In time and avert it. A poor publisher, the proprietor of a struggling magazine, sent a half Inch advertisement to the New York Herald. Tha ad man made it a half page. The bill was bigger than the publisher's entire possessions. He thought he was ruined. It was the turning point. The magazine sold. It was geod and people liked It. Other half page ads followed.

Ann Burgess WAS bom in Genesee county, New York, August 17,th. 1824, and came with her parents in early childhood to Loch Washtenaw county, Mich., and lived there' until her marriage with Levi Annie, in April 1840. when they settled in the township of Putnam and lived there and in Pinckney, until his death which occurred December, 19,1860. She wai married a second time to Stephen S. Westcott, of Iosco, February 17, 1867, and lived there and in Howell several years. About 13 years ago they moved to Jasper, Midland county, where her decease occurred May 28, 1903, from general debility and old age. She united with the Methodist church in Pinckney, previous to 1857, and was an active member until her removal after her second marriage, but she retained her membership here and maintained her love for and loyalty to her Saviour until He called her home. Mr. Westcott bad four small children by a former marriage, and she took them into her heart, and was all a mother could be to them, and they with her sorrowing companion cherish her memory with grateful affection and deeply mourn their loss. Her amiability of character naturally end ear 6¾ her to all who knew her, and she wu: highly esteemed as a kind neighbor"! and faithful friend. Her remains were accompanied to Pinckney by ber husband and oldest daughter, Mrs. C. G. Orjiikshank, of San Marcial, New Mejagft, and the funeral services were held $£ the home oi her niece, Mrs. Oria Jackson, last Sunday morning, conducted hjr Bev. H. W. Hicks, and she was tends* ly laid to rest in the Pinckney cemetery. j -i '^m :M •WX ••«a - ! . ' • • y& * * * ported.

We are pleased to show to ou» patrons, this week, a cut of the Pinckney Sanitarium. For a long time Drs. H. F. & C. L. Sigler have felt the need of a suitable place where patients from a distance, as well as those requiring the convenience of a well appointed hospital, could be cared for. This desire has at last culminated in the purchase of the Thompson Grimes homestead, one of the finest, and in many respects, the finest residence property in Pinckney. We are informed that it will be fitted up in a suitable manner with modem appliances fer the treatment of cases that cannot properly be oared t u except in a place of this kind It speaks well for the professional reputation of these gentlemen thai their practice demands such a placej and it will be a credit to our pretty little village, as but few places of this size can boast of a like establishment Mrs. Nettie Vaughn^ will be in charge of the establishment, and trained nurses will be in readiness as required. Mrs. Flora Grimes who has occupied the place for several years, will give posession July 1st. We have not been informed of her future intentions, but join in the wish of her many friends that she will conclude to still make Pinckney her home. m Richard May having sold his place retnrned with his nephew to Ireland last week.

I have heard you say nothing that floats on fresh water, can beat a Norfolk wherry." Then Hyde and Mary had a game of battledore, and Bhe watched* them tees* ing the gayly painted corks, until amid their light laughter and merry talk she fell asleep. And when she awakened It w i s sunset, and there was no one in her ropm but her maid! She had slept 6000 Dongi but in spite o f j t s refreshment, — j — *feu *—* f 8he had a sense of iomething uneasy. Then she recalled- the story Mary Darner had told her, and because she comprehended the truth, she was instantly at rest. The "Whole secret' was clear as daylight to her. She was positive Rem Van Ariens was himself the thief of her cousin's love and happiness, and the brlnger of grief—almost of death—to Cornelia. She said to herself, "I shall not be long here, and before I go away I must put right love's wrong." She would write to Cornelia. Her word would be Indisputable. Then she would dismiss the subject from her conversations with Mary, until Cornelia's answer arrived; nor until that time would she say a word of her suspicions to Hyde. In pursuance of these resolutions the following letter to Cornelia left Hyde Manor for New York .the next, mail: "To Mils Cornelia Mdran: "Because you are very dear to one of my dear kindred, and because I feel that you are worthy of his great lote, I also love you. Will you trust me now? There has been a sad mistake. I believe I can put it right. You meat recollect the day on which Geoage Hyde wrote asking you & fi* an hour when he could call 'on Doctor Mo ran about your marriage. Did any other lover ask you on that day to marry him? Was that other lover Mr. van Ariens? Did you write to both about the same time? If so, you misdirected yeer letters, and the one: intend** 'for Lord Hyde went to Mr. Van Ariens, and Jthe one intended.for Mr. Van Ariens went to /Lord Hyde. Now- "you will understand many things. "Can you send to me, for Lord Hyde, a copy of the letter you intended for htm. When 1 receive it, you may con* tent your heart. Delay not to answer this;, why Bhould you delay your happiness? I send you as love gifts my thoughts, desires, prayers, all that is best in me, all that I give to one high in my esteem, and whom I wish to place high in my affection. This to your hand and heart, with all sincerity. Annie Hyde." She calculated her letter would reach Cornelia about the end of September, and ehe thought how pleasantly the hope tt brought would- brighten her lite.

In such a mood how easy it was to answer Annie's letter. She recollected every word she had written to Hyde that fateful day, and she wrote them again with a tenfold joy. I'_L_ CHAPTER Xltl.- The Return of Joy. Now it Is very noticeable that when unusual events begin to happen in any life; there- is a succession of such events, and not unfrequently they arrive in similar ways. At any rate, about ten days after the receipt of Annie's letter, Cornelia was - almost equally amazed by the receipt of another letter—a piece of paper twisted qarelessly but containing these few pregnant words: "Cornelia, dear, come to me. Bring me something to wear. I have just arrived, saved by the skin of my teeth, and I have not a decent garment of any kind to put on. Arenta." A thunderbolt from a ctear sky could hardly have caused such surprise, but Cornelia did not wait to talk about the wonder. She loaded a maid with clothing of every description, and ran across the street to'Hfr friend. Arenta saw her coming, 'and met her with a cry of joy, and as Van Ariens was sick and trembling with the sight of his daughter, and the tale of her sufferings, Cornelia persuaded him to go to sleep, and leave Arenta to her care. Poor Arenta, she was ill with the privations she had suffered, she was half-starved, and nearly without clothing, but she did not complain much until she had been fed, and bathed, and "dressed," as she said, "like a New York woman ought to be." "You. know what trunks and trunks full of beautiful* things 1 t**A > w y ^witlr'me, Cornelia,'' she complained; "well, I nave not a rag left. I have nothing left at all." "Yqur husband, Arenta?" "He was guillotined." "Oh, my dear Arenta!" "Guillotined. I told him to be quiet I begged him to go over to Marat* byl no! his nobility obliged him to stand-- by his order and his king: So^tor them he died. Poor Athanase! tijjHeri expected me to follow him, but I could tiful, and well They not make up my mind to the kfclfa; ?aekie^het name; and my Lysbet, th\|nk Oh, how terrible it was!"

Hyde was always willing to talk on this subject, and thus she learned so. much about Arenta, and Madame Jacobus, and Rem Van Ariens, that the people became her familiars. Certainly the letter sent to Cornelia Bped on Its way all the move rapidly and joyfully for the good Wishes and unselfish prayers, accompanying it. The very sJrtp^rfgbt havekeowri it w i s the * bearer-of good tidings, for if there her talk of her sufferings until fell into a sleep—a sleep, easy fc still hunted by the furies and te through which she had passed.

In the center of the city are the mighty falls, from which it takes its name. The swift flowing river plunges down rocky inclines anb narrow ravines, and in a distance of one-half mile, falls 130 feet. At Spokane the Gt. Nor. Ry. have one of the finest passenger depot west of Ohi? cago. The building is 720 ft in length with a tower in the center 160 ft. high. West of Spokane the timber grows more scattered until we reach the prairies of eastern Washington in the famous Big Bend Country. The next stop of importace is at Wenatchee. This is a great fruit' country and is about half way between Spokane and Seattle where they attach another engine and start west for the Cascade limit, and for twenty miles the route is through Tumivatee canyon which has no rival for senic grandure. This is in the heart of the Cascade mountains. At last we reach the Cascade tunnel two and one-half miles long. Here you can see the liae of the old "Livitchback," now ouc of use. The tunnel ceases at Millington about retiring when the train sud-' on the western slope of the Cas For many miles west of Glasgow Mont, we passed small stations where ranchers bring their stock for shipment Many new settlers are coming in this section. The first mountains seen are the Little Bookies, that do not appear to be very far away, yet the real distance is about fifty miles. After a ride of four hours we reached Havre, Mont., where a branch of the Great Northern goes sonth to the Great Falls of the Mo. Helena, Butte. Here Norman and I got off the train to look over the city, but this was almost impossible, as we got our shoes covered with a black sticky mud. After changing engines we started on westward, and at Galta, Mont, the snow capped peaks of the mighty Rockies suddenly came into view—yet they are still many miles away. Far to the south we see the Sweet Grass hills. It was about seven o'clock when we reached the Rockies so we could not see them very well; but it was a grand signt for two eastern boys who never Baw mountains before. It was so cold while there that we had to put on overcoats. The snow was about two feet deep on the level, and six in some places.

" On the adoption of the wort "jolly" into the English it had the meaning of beautiful, as it has among the French today. The English dramatist Beaumont of the sixteenth century speaks of our first mother as "the Jolly five." In time, however, it came to mean hilarious, regardless of physical beauty. But this latter meaning is probably the right one after all, as the word .doubtless comes from Yule (Tn-le), the pagan Christmas, so to speak, for be it known that what we now observe as Christmas day was a heathen holiday called Yule, and the Yule festival was one of noisy demonstration. Yule indeed means noise or outcry, praising in loud voice, chanting, singing, making outcry in honor of their god. From yule, then, to jolly the step is short and easy, both meaning revelry, rejoicing. Ours,is a risen Lord, theirs the same. The words are identical. So, too, in large degree the Christmas Jollities, praises and those of heathen Yule. Into such close relation do simple words sometimes connect the present with the past. Worst of all Experiences.

Nearly every one is familiar with the traditional stage fall, where the victim of a supposed death shot strikes an attitude, clasps his hand to his heart, stiffens every joint and muscle, breathes hysterically and goes down like a log toppled over from the end. AiK>fhfi» popular yet erroneous notion Is^that men shot through the vitals leap into the air and go down in a dramatic attitude. Sometimes men are found on the field in striking positions, but often an examination shows that the position was taken after the fall As a wile a man who ialiit above the hips sinks down. The slighter the wound the more commotion, for the body Instinctively resists, Just as it does when one slips or Is pushed or collides with some object But a wound in a vital spot weakens the resistance and men sink at once or reel and tumble .with very little self control.

In his book on "China and the Chinese" Dr. Giles gives a- specimen of Chinese humor which, If the source were not known, might well be mistaken for American humor. There is a Chinese story which tells how a very stingy man took a paltry sum of money to an artist—payment is always exacted in advance—and asked him to paint his portrait. The artist at once complied with the request, but when the portrait was finished nothing was visible save the back of the aittar's head. "What does this mean?' cried the sitter Indignantly. "Well," replied the artist "I thought a man who paid so little as you paid wouldn't care to show his face." MJtrHUDlST UPibUUFAL CiiUKCii. Key. U. W .

"I remember one occasion many years ago while I was investigating some pllferfnga in the mail service. 1 was a passenger on an t>hio river steamer on my way from Pittsburg to Cincinnati, and while the boat was lying at one of the small towns on the Kentucky, aide of the river I stepped ttpon thaj wharfboat and, stood Jdly watching tie deckhands loading a shipment of tobacco. "While I waa thus engaged a negro staggered past me, bending under the weight of a box upon his shoulder, and aa our eyes met for a brief inatant! heard him say: *OolIy, dis am de hebblest terbacker I eber tackled!' "Instantly there swept through me a gtranga sensation, as though I had found a clue for which I bad long been searching. 'Impulsively I followed the darkey aboard the boat and noted where the box.waa stored. Later, when I had an opportunity, I casually inspected the ~box and found that It was marked 'M' and consigned to Cincinnati. "I waa about to lift one end of the box In order to test its weight when 1 noticed a small, dark-eyed man, who atood but a few feet away watching me keenly. The caution which I had developed from years of training in my profession prompted me to promptly turn my attention t o other packages lying near, Co idly examine them, and to leisurely ascend the stairs to the cabin of the boat "That the box concealed some mystery I now entertained no doubt But I waa batted and knew not how best not escape my attention, and had the effect cr increasing my suspicions. But I could get nothing tangible upon which to base a theory; "From the clerk of the boat, I learned that the shipper and consignee of the, 'box of tobacco,' as it had been billed, were the same—probably the dark-eyed stranger.

After much arduous labor a swaying ponteon. bridge was stretched between a permanent bridge and ihe doomed town, •With the result that a great many persons were rescued who would otherwise have perished. Fifty distinct fires wero counted at one time and the prospect was that the entire town would be wiped out. Some people sought safety in the branche* of trees and agonised crieafor assistance could be heard a mile away. In Topeka proper, thousands have been driven from their homes by the flood and the scenes of suffering and confusion stagger the imagination. The floods are general in Kansas and neighboring states and the ruin is widespread. The greatest loss find suffering is in central and eastern Kansas, northwestern Missouri eastern Nebraska and. southwestern Iowa, the result of 10 days' almost continuous rainfall.

The man, so the clerk informed me, was a stranger to him, al&ough he made occasional trips to Cincinnati, always taking a box of tobacco with him. "As the steamer neared Cincinnati my anxiety to fathom the mystery of the box naturally increased. For some reason I felt that I was upon the very threshold of an Important revelation, but what this was to be I had not the power to even guess. "When I finally reached the end of my Journey you may be sure 1 kept watch of that box. 1 saw it carried aboard the wharfboat and expected to see the dark-eyed man hovering near. But in that I was disappointed, for, disembarking with the other passengers, he took a 'bus and was driven away. "When the confusion Incident to the •rrlval of the boat had somewhat subsided I revealed my identity to the wharfmaster and requested that the box be opened. My request was granted, and when the lid was pried off I found, to my astonishment, that tho box was full of counterfeit stiver coin—dollars and half-dollars. ^"Then, and. tjot till then, it occurred to me that for *a year past there had heen reports of an abundance of counterfeit money along the Ohio Valley.

Mow It Feels to Be Sucked Under Water by a Foundered Steamer. In the Edinburgh Medical Journal James A. Lawson gives an interesting description of his thrilling experience when he was dragged under water by a sinking ship. When he was far down in the swirling waters he struck out for the surface, but only went further down. This exertion was a serious waste of breath, and after-what appeared—to-be ten or fifteen seconds the effort of inspiration could no longer be restrained, and pressure of the chest began to develo#> The most striking thing he remembered was the great pain in the chest, which increased at every effort to expiration and inspiration. It seemed as if he were in a vise, which was gardually being screwed up, until it felt the sternum and spinal column must break. The ^'gulping" process became more frequent for about ten efforts and hope was then extinguished. The pressure after these gulps seemed unbearable, but gradually the pain seemed to ease up, as the carbonic acid was accumulating in the blood. At the same time the efforts at inspiration, with their accompanying gulps of water, occurred at longer and longer intervals. The writer's mental condition was then such that he appeared to be in a pleasant dream, but still had enough will power to think of friends at home, etc. Before finally losing consciousness the chest pain had completely disappeared, and sensation was actually pleasant. When concciousr#as, returned he found himself on the surface of the water (probably from the action of the life belt), and Anally managed to reach shore. Got Near to South Pole. Capt.

"FOR THE LITTLE ONES, A mm That BuffiTa Houeo and Keep* Up a Garden and Lawn. There is a little bird in England called the garden bird. The little husband and wife not anly build a house for themselves, but they alao make a garden around After having made up their minds to build the first thing they do is to find a nice spot of ground, with some kind of shrub growing near the oenter of it. Then they pile green grass moss on the ground all around the shrub. Next the birds &ring long green twigs, which they have broken from off the branches of trees and stick them into the Sound so that they will lean against e top of the shrub like the framework of a small tent. One side is left open for a door. .When the little house is built, the birds at once set to work to make their garden. The husband bird does the heavier work, and all around the house he clears off a space for a lawn, carrying away every stone and stick and every bit of straw that is in the way. He then covers the space with the finest green moss that he can find, and upon the velvety lawn he lays many Pretty berries and pink flowers, and as often as the flowers fade he takes them away and brings fresh ones. This house, which is three feet long and a foot high, is very large for two little birds. Indeed, the house is ample enough to accommodate a family of twenty. The garden, too, is large in proportion and is sometimes six feet long and even longer. It is said that the people think so much of these birds that they never harm them. And now you may wish to know how this little warbler is dressed. The top of his head, his back, his wings and his tail are brown, and his breast is a greenish red. In size he is about as large as a robin. HftTin* F a n "With a T r a g e d i a n .

Taking up Yorick's skull he spoke the words of the text: "Now, here's a skull that Imth lain in the earth three and twenty years. Whose do you think it THIS?" "Nay, 1 know not," replied Sullivan as Hamlet. "This skull, air," said Hoskins, "was Diavolo Antonio's, whom Booth fought In this d t y r The house roared with laughter, while Sullivan stamped and fumed, exclaiming: "Yorick's, sir! Yorick's!"

A big dose was given him while he was rolling about o the ground in great agony and in a few minutes the dose was repeated.

BAB£ (Copyright 1900» by AmttU B. Barr) X Si CHAPTER XIII—(Continued.) "That Is,so, but I think her life W M worth a few words. And Thomas Jefferson says she was ten thousand tines welcome to the protection his name gave tier. I thank my God I have never bad such temptation. Overrighteous we must not be, Lysbet." "I am astonished, also. I thought Arenta would cry out and that only." "What a man or a woman will do and suffer, and how they will do and suffer, no one knows till comes some great occasion. All the human heart wants is the chance/' "As men and women have in Paris to live, I wonder me, that they can wish to Hve at all! Welcome to them must be death." "So wrong arc you, Lysbet. Trouble and hardship make us love life. A sest they give to it. It was not from the Jews in exile and captivity, but from the Jews of Solomon's glory came the only dissatisfied, hopeless words in the Bible." "To-morrow, Joris, I will go and see Arenta. She is fair, and she knows it; witty, and she knows it; of good courage, and she knows it; the fashion, and she knows it. To Aurelia Van Zandt she said, my heart will ache forever for my beloved Athanase, and Aurelia says that her old lover Willie Nicholls is at her feet sitting all the day long—yet for all these things she is a brave woman and I will go and see her." "Willie Nicholls is a good young man, and he is rich also; but of him I saw nothing at all. Cornelia Moran was there and no flower of Paradise is so sweet, so fair!" "A very proud girl! I am glad she said *no' to my Joris." "Come, my Lysbet, we will now pray and sleep. There is so much not to say."' "Cornelia has made all other women so indifferent to me, that if I eannot marry her, my father may dispose of me as he chooses." "Cannot you forget eornella?" "It is Impossible.; Her very name moves me beyond words." Then they were silent, and Hyde drew his dog closer and watched the blaze among some lighter branches, which a servant had just brought in. At his entrance he had also given Annie a letter, which she was eagerly reading. Hyde had no speculation C H A P T E R X I V . The New Days Come. One afternoon in the late autumn Annie was sitting watching Hyde lriaying with bis dog, a big mastiff of noble birth and character. The creature sat erect with his head leaning against Hyde, and Hyde's arm was thrown around his neck as he talked to him of their adventures on the Broad that day. Outside there was in the air that November feeling which chills like the passing breath of death. But in the house~Knnle and Hyde and the dog sat within the circle of warmth and light made by the blazing ash logs, and in that circle there was at least an atmosphere of sweet content. Suddenly George looked up and his eyes caught those of Annie watching him. "What have you been reading, Annie?" he asked, as he stooped forward and took a thin volume from her lap. "Why!" he cried, "'tis Paul and Virginia. Do you read love stories?" i "Yes. The mystery of a love affair pleases every one, and I think we shall not tire of love stories till we tire of the mystery of spring, or of primroses and daffodils." "Love has been cruel to me. It •baa made a cloud on my life that will help to cover me in my grave." "You still love Cornelia?" . "I cannot cure myself of a passion so. hopeless. However, as I see no end "It ft from Cornelia/' to my unhappiness, I try to submit to what I cannot avoid." "My unrte grows anxious for you to marry. He would be glad to see the succession of Hyde assured." - "Oh, indeed, I have no mind to take a -wife. I hear every day that some of my acquaintance have married; I near of none that nave done worse." * -^You believe nothing of what you •ay. My uncle was much pleased wlUfcSe^Oe^V^vfW*** ton think of the beauty?" His eyes ran over the sweet words. about it; and even when he found Annie regarding him with her whole soul in her face, he failed to understand, as he always had done, the noble love which had been so long and so faithfully his—a love holding itself above endearments; self-repressed, self-sacrificing, kepS down in the inmost heart-chamber a dignified prisoner behind very real bars. Yet he was conscious that the letter was of more than usual interest, and when the servant had closed the door behind him, he asked, "Whom is your letter from, Annie? It seems to please you very much." She leaned forward to him, with the paper in her little trembling hand, and paid: 'it is from Cornelia." "My God!" he ejaculated, and the words were fraught with such feeling, as could have found no other vehicle of expression. "She has sent you, dear George, a copy of the letter you ought to have received more than two years ago. Read it." His eyes ran rapidly over the sweet words, his face flamed, his hands trembled, he cried out impetuously: "But what does It mean? Am I quite in my senses? How has this letter been delayed? Why do I get only * copy?" "Because Mr. Van Ariens has the original." "It is all incredible. What do you mean, Annie? Do not keep me in such torturing suspense." "It means that Mr. Van Ariens asked Cornelia to marry him on the same day that you wrote to her about your marriage. She answered both letters in the same hour, and misdirected them." "God's death! How can I punish so mean a scoundrel? I will have my letter from him. if I follow him round the world for it." "You have your letter now. 1 asked Cornelia to write it again for you; and you Bee she has done it gladly." "Angel of goodness! But I will have my first letter." "It has been in that man's keeping for more than two years. I would not touch it. Twould infect a gentleman and make of him a rascal just as base." "He shall write me then an apology in his own blood. I will make him do it, at the point of my sword. Remember, Annie, what this darling girl suffered. For his treachery she nearly died. I speak not of my own wrong—it is as nothing to hers." "However, she might have been more careful." "Annie, she was in the happy hour of love. Your calm soul knows not what a confusing thing that is—she made a mistake, and that sneaking villain turned her mistake into a crime. By a God's mercy, it is found out—but how? Annie{ Annie, bow much I owe you! What can I' say? What cp.n I do?" "Be reasonable. Mary Darner really though to be sure, he put the wrong on people he did not name. But I.

Bui tkls news throws me into a*- tiespeatanble condition. You see that I must leave for America at once." "No. I do not see that, Gtorge." "But if you consider—" "I have been considering for two months. Let me decide for you now, for you are not able to do so wisely. Write at once to Cornelia; that is your duty as well as your pleasure. But before you go to her there are things indispensable to be done. Will you ask Doctor Moran for his child, and not be able to show him that you can care for her as she deserves to be cared for? Lawyers will not be hurried, there will be consultations, and e n g r o s s e s , and signiegs. and love— in your case—will have to wait upon law." "Tis hard for love, and harder perhaps for anger to wait. For I am in a passion of wrath at Van Ariens. I long to be near him. Oh, what suffering his envy and hatred have caused others!" "And himself also." "The man is hateful to me." "He has done a thing that makes h^m hateful. I hear your father coming. I am sure you will have his sympathy in all things." She left the room as the Earl entered it. He was in unusually high spirits. Some political news had delighted him, and without noticing his son's excitement he said: "The Commons have taken things in thair own hands, George. I said they would. They listen to the king and the Lords very respectfully, and then obey themselves. Most of the men in the Lower House are unfit to enter it." "Well, sir, the Lords as a rule send them there—you have sent three of them yourself. But the government is not interesting. I have something else, father, to think about. I have very important news from America. Will you listen to it?" "Yes, if you will tell it to me straight, and not blunder about your meaning." "Sir, I have just discovered that a letter sent to mc more than two years ago has been Knowingly and purposely detained from me." "Did the letter contain means of identifying it as belonging to you?"

A Chance for the Thick Skinned. As skin-grafting on a large scale comes into more extensive use in surgery, it becomes more difficult to procure the best material for the purpose. In fact, a medical man well known in this city says the difficulty can only be met by treating the skin as an article of commerce and buying the amount required. He recently paid $5 for sufficient cuticle to put on the limb of a little boy who had been scalded, and the individual who "gave up" part of his bone covering declared he was "tickled to death" by the operation. He calls on the doctor every now and then to ask if "any more hide" is needed. 8aved His Life. Whitehall, 111., June 8th.—Mr. Lon Mauley had Brlght's Disease and after his home doctor had treated him for some time he finally told him that he could do nothing more for him and that he would surely die. A friend who had heard of what Dodd's Kidney Pills had done in cases of Kidney Trouble, advised Mr. Man ley to try a treatment of this remedy. He did so and everyone was surprised and delighted to see an improvement In a very short time. This improvement gradually kept on as the treatment proceeded, till now Mr. Manley Is well. He says: "The doctor said he had done all he could for me. He gave me up. A friend advised me to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and in a few weeks I was nearly all right again. "I am not dead, and can truthfully say that I feel better to-day than I have for years. Dodd's Kidney Pills are a wonderful remedy and I will always praise them and recommend them to everyone suffering as I did." Mr. Manley's recovery has caused a profound sensation, as no one ever thought he would recover. Could Not Retain Ufa. After having been pronounced dead by the local physician, a well-known lady, who with her family had long resided in the village of Woo re, North Staffordshire, was recently laid ready for interment. All preparations for the funeral had been made and friends and relatives assembled to take a final farewell. As the mourners watched, the eyes of the lady were seen to open and her lips to move. Life had returned to the supposed corpse. The news of the strange event spread throughout the village and district and produced the greatest excitement. To the grief of all, however, there came a relapse, and life was declared to be definitely extinct. Effect of a Craze. This breakfast food and coffee craze has got to stop. A man out in Atchison, Kan., has a wife who Is a victim of the sawdust habit and feeds him on all sorts of queer things.

In the first four months x*tWsViear the doors of the Itomiptagt oaefjftd to 40,672 persona, according^ to a report prepared by tae> ~ committee on agriculture and colonization of the Canadian parliament. This is almost twice as large as the •> immigration in the corresponding months last year, and fully three times as large as in 1901, the respective figures being 22,482 and 13,393. "Most Of these newcomers have , been attracted by the wheat lands of the Northwest territories. They have moved direct to Winnipeg and they have turned that city into a great camp, in which they have been fitting themselves out for the last stage of their adventure for new homes. "Of the immigration of this spring a little over a third has come froifi Great Britain, the figure being 16,457. This is three times as large as the British Immigration of the corresponding months of the preceding year, and it is within 2,500 of the number of immigrants that the United States attracted from Great Britain and Ireland in the aame period this spring. As to the remainder of the immigration into Canaua 13,7V 0 settlers came from the United States, a 50 per cent increase over the preceding year, and 10,445 from Continental Europe, a 40 per cent increase. "These 40,672 immigrants into Canada may appear trifling in comparison with 297,070 persons who entered the United States in the same period, but they are proportionately more important to the country. Canada's population is one-fifteenth of ours, but ' her immigration Is now two-fifteenths as large as ours. It is worth remembering also that Canada's immigrants are almost entirely Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic races, while our immigration is now two-thirds made up of Romance and Elav elements." "Speculation is natural as to the future of Canada in her relations to the United States when her Northwest territories are filled up, but the one absolutely certain fact of the near future is that the United States is to have a great competitor in the grain markets of the world." The above editorial article taken from the columns of the Chicago Record- Herald of May 26th, shows the condition of the Canadian immigration, which as pointed out, has had a constant growth—a marvellously Increasing growth—for the past six or seven years, until this year, it is confidently assumed the increase to Canada's population, by way of immigration, will exceed 100,000. This is accounted for by the great agricultural1 resources which abound there.

A stage manager, for-Instance, may interpolate some speeches in order to work up to the introduction of a song or specialty, or lie may strengthen the climax by putting in some new and strong lines. Often these interpolated lines prove to be the most striking in the play and make decided hits. If they are left in when the manuscript goes back to its owner, they become his property absolutely and may not be used by the man who wrote them in any other production; therefore shrewd managers, before they return a play to its owner, always take great pains to erase every scrap of correction or interlineation.

In Brittaj^* when a housewife begins to knead dough she makes a cross with her right hand, the left being placed in the trough. If a cat enters the room, it is believed the bread will not rise. It is supposed that certain women can cause the dough to multiply itself. On the coast of the channel the dough is adjured to imitate the leaven, the miller and the baker and to rise. The oven is a sacred object and connected with crowds of superstitions. The oven is dedicated, with ceremonies. In certain places in l.rittauy thy wood is watered ^vith blessed water.

The jurv in the Uerritt Albers case I in tirand Rapids, brought in a verdict.] of not guiltv Tuesday. The case has been pending since June. 1900. It was charged on Oct. '2'2. 1891). Albers tendered Aid. .Joseph Kenihan a bribe of $3,000 to gain his vote and Influence for the Lake Michigan water supply scheme in the common council. This is the first of the famous water scandal cases in which Prosecutor Ward has failed to secure a conviction. The Albers case, however, was much different from the others, in that Albers admitted the existence of a conspiracy and the fact that he had approached Kenlhan with the offer, but he.denied that he did it with any corrupt motive, or that he was concerned in the water deal. His tender of the money was merely to rest his friend's honesty, he said, and this was his only defense. The tattooed man as an attraction is out of date, but the girl with the open-work stockings is Just as lovely as ever this spring. a Maxim Gorky's remarks lead one 1 to believe that a ''smart set" is about as much of a social incumbrance in Russia as anywhere else. Enforce Sunday Lawa. . The sports of Benton Harbor and St. Joseph have prepared a monster petition making a demand upon Sheriff Collins to stop all business in the twin cities, including that done by the proprietors of cigar stands, drug stores, news stands, livery stables, soda fountains and street cars. This is an outgrowth of the closing of Sunday saloons and the stopping of Sunday baseball by the Municipal League. The sheriff will close all the places of business that the law requires him to close. He anticipates trouVJo in stopping the street cars, however. According to the last census, the Indian population of the United States Increased 16,713 between 1890 and 1900. That doesn't look like race suicide. The New York American declares that Joaquin Miller is the best poet we have. This will please Mr. Miller much more than it will our other poets.

Grablll, publisher of the Greenville Independent, arrested on a criniiual warrant on complaint of T. T. I'helps, was dismissed from court. The prosecuting attorney stated at the close of the hearing that the complaint was insufficient and the justice concurred in {he opinion. The crimo alleged was thnt the accused had done printing for the city of Greenville. The ease had much local interest because the suit is believed to be petty persecution for the reason GvahiU's paper strongly advocated local option. With Patti at $10,000 a night the audiences will be limited to Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie. Russell Sage may dissipate to the extent of a balcony ticket. The people of Canada may not value the Dorekhokors highly as Immigrants, but in light of recent events in Russia they can hardly blame them for wanting to go somewhere. Chicago ought to be particularly Interested In the new Scotch process for tanning hogskins so as to make them a substitute for rubber in all kinds of cushion tires. A spelling match between college presidents would draw a tremendous audience. We should all like to know what word President Eliot, for instance, would go down on. The Chicago Tribune finds-it "Tittle short of profanation" that Boston common should be planted in rye. The editor is evidently from Kentucky where everybody favors com -Mquor; v- The bride who refused to go through the ceremony till the bridegroom had made his will in her favor apparently overlooked the possibility that he may make another will now that he is safely wedded. Now that Prof. Goodspeed has taken photographs by the light of the human body, perhaps people will stop laughing at the ardent lover who talks poetically about the light of his lady's eyes.

Green Bus Kills Fish. The probable cause of the death of fto many tish in the surrounding lakes near Qulney has been discovered. Visitors at the resorts have been annoyed by a small green bug, which collects in the air around the cottages so thick that they darken the sun, They are short lived, as in a few hours they die and drop into the lake. In early morning the water is covered with thousands of dead bugs. The tish feed on them and soon die. This specie of bug was never seen here before. Wreck on Ann Arbor Road. An obstinate cow was the cause of a serious wreck on the Ann Arbor railroad about three miles north of Milan, Wednesday morning. As a result, D. J. Gepson, of Toledo, conductor on the extra Xo. 45. was seriously injured, and Jack Scott, engineer, and Edward Everett, both of Dnrand. were slightly hurt.

MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE. : i — i Primary reform w a s shunted to the side track by the senate Thursday, and the so-called tuachjne men won out. The question was whether the senate would accede to the request of the house that the Balrd bill be returned' to the house, the intention being to it mend It by putting in members of the legislature and county ofneers. The house members had learned that the senators intended to appoint a conference committee, In accord with the request made last week, the senator's expecting to let themselves out in this way,, realising that with the short time left In woi^h to do business, no bill could bo agreed upon. Accordingly the house withdrew its request for a new conference committee, havings b&-. fore the senate the request. that the Baird bill be returned.' T.he^lpng debate did not change'a'vote. Ou the roll oall the matter w a s referred t o , the committee on elections l>y the following vote: Binder twine will not be made in the Jackson prison as the bill to establish the plant w a s killed by the house on Thursday, so an appropriation of $400,- 000 will not come Into the tax l€|vy at present. The bill evohed a warm debate. It was noticeable that nearly all the farmers were in favor of the bill, ami Representative Shea declared, in a strong speech, that organised labor also favored It. The roll w a s called and the bllj defeated. 40 to 42. The imys were: C. S. Adams, Ashley, Austin, Bolton, Brown, Campbell, Colby, Dellsle, Dennis, Ferry, Fisher, Greusel, Hallenbeck, Hurley, Henians, Hlggins, Holmes, Hunt, William Kirk, John Lane, O. B. Lane, Lovell, McCarthy, Mortice, Newberry, Nottingham, Osbom, Paddock, Pettit, Gardner, Powell, Reynolds, Richards, L. C. Robinson, Rodgers, Sanderson, Sheldon, Slggiiw, Vandercook, Wade, Walker, and tho speakei?—42. The Paddock bill to tax sleeping cars is laid to rest and a careful examination of it shows that it would really have accomplished little if anything had it been passed. The tax commissioners have estimated that if the sleeping car companies would pay taxes on their cars according to car mileage in Michigan, the amount of their annual tax would be about $40,- 000. Since 18S7 practically nothing has been paid to the state on this class of property, the legislature steadily refusing to put through any measure that would be effective. Ou the basis of computation given above, the amount that the state has lost in sixteen years since 188T is about $640,000. The senate Tuesday afternoon passed the Moriarty bill establishing a binder twine plant at Jackson prison by a vote of 26 to 8. Senators Glasgow, Scrlpps and Vaugban, voted nay, while Barnes, Fuller and Lockerby did not vote. The bill makes an appropriation of $400,000 for the establishing of the plant, of which sum $125,000 is to be used for the plant and machinery and $275,000 for a "revolving fund" for the purchase of raw material. Representative Dunn's bill providing that liquor dealers on the St. Clair Flats might escape with a $250 license fee and be permitted to do business six months in the year, failed to pass In the house. Members figure that if any deviation from the regular $500 rule is made, it will create a precedent that may result In special legislation for liquor men all over the state wno want to do business only part of the year. Early in the session there was a contest of the seat of Representative Werline, the Menominee Democrat. It is customary in such cases for the legislature to order the expenses of the contestants paid. Werllne did not put in his bill until recently, wheo-be-pre^ sented an account of $300. Representative Colby's committee on elections cut this down to $150, and at that amount it was allowed by the house. Among the bills passed was the one. providing for four additional oil Inspectors, for which Inspector Judson has been lobbying, though it was introduced by Senator Glazier, and which was defeated a few days ago. Rodgers, of Muskegon, opposed It. saying, "It is an outrage that any state employe or head of department should lobby here for such a measure, and we ought not to permit it." The bill to reduce the number ot members of the pardon board and in [.crease their pay has been passed by both houses, the houses having put it through on third reading this morning.

If one were looking for a cure for bashfulness, carbon paper would seem -an unlikely thing to select. But it was a piece of this paper which, If It did not exactly cure John Kendall, at least •overcame the effects of bis shyness. John's bashfulness was most pernicious, and while it had not retarded his career as a successful manufacturer, in the flourishing town of Schuylerville, it proved a very embarrassing possession when he was smitten with the tender passion. In the first place, Margaret Little was "an authoress," and that alone was an awe-inspiring circumstance. To be able to write stories which met 1 with occasional acceptance; to have the postman sometimes bring her thin letters containing checks, and not to be the grinning bearer of bulky packages of rejected manuscripts, placed her on a plane above other women— In John's eyes. Not that she needed such placing, for it would be futile to •chronicle the angelic qualities with whica he endowed her. The trouble with this endowment process was that it was not disclosed to Margaret. John could write, and •did write, letters teeming with sentiment. Of course, it was unfortunate that these letters were never sent. It was more unfortunate that he found himself unable to express in her presence the feelings which agitated his six feet of manhood. He had made three attempts at a proposal, each of which had ended in stammering confusion and dire failure, and it is probable that the number would have been extended indefinitely, had not a rival appeared on the field. Anyone who showed Margaret the slightest attention was a rival in John's view, and it seemed impossible that the editor of a New York magazine would come fifty miles to Schuy. lerville for the sole purpose of consulting Margaret about a series of stories for his periodical. If this innocent purpose brought the editor, something emotionally attractive in Margaret's pretty face must have induced his reappearance within a month, and it was during this second visit that John spurred himself to action. On a June afternoon he deserted his desk and determinedly strode toward the Little homestead. His courage usually lasted until he passed the front gate, but on this occasion he was surprised to find it upholding him even after he had reached the veranda. It evaporated when he rang the bell. A maid told him that Miss Little had and he sat a t Margaret's little desk and dashed off a few glowing periods en a sheet of her manuscript paper. When t h e effusion was finished it proved satisfactory, being, in fact, a condensation .of the others which he' had left unsent. He folded it neatly, and was reaching into a pigeonhole in Glanced Jjhyly down at Margaret, the desk for an envelope, when he happened to glance out of the window. Dashed off a few glowing periods, gone for a walk with a gentleman from New York. This Information, coming as a respite, at first relieved John, Then jealousy renewed his courage, and he boldly said he wished to leave a note for Margaret. In the matter of impassioned missives John Kendall was no coward, blonde, handsome man—was. walking close beside his contributor, and looking smilingly into her beautiful eyes. After viewing the scene John was seized with panic at the thought of Margaret's reading his note immediately. The next Instant he was striding away from the house, scattering bits of white paper to the June breezes. He did "pot see Margaret for a week, and during that time deep despair held him for its own. Then an urgent business affair led him to call on her father, who was suffering from a slight illness, and was unable to leave the house. When the Interview with Mr. Little was at an end, and John reached the front door he found Margaret sitting on the veranda. He thought to pass her with a formal greeting, but his intentions usually went astray where she was concerned, and he was soon seated near her in a wide-armed veranda chair. "I am sorry I missed you when you called last week," said Margaret after her father's illness had been discussed. "I'm sorry, too," John replied, mentally condemning the memory of the maid, whom he hoped had forgotten the incident. "The girl said something about you leaving a note," continued Margaret. "Yes—er—an Invitation to a picnic," John said weakly, "but the affair was postponed." "Before you could write the note?" "No; I thought it would be postponed, so I changed my mind." Margaret was looking demurely at a rose bush. "It has been postponed before," she murmured softly, but her companion did not hear the remark. "John," she said, in a louder tone, "I suppose it is only in an invitation to a~ptenic that you would-address me as your dearest Margaret." John Kendall turned slowly, and regarded the object of his affections with bewilderment He wondered if any of the torn bits of paper had been picked up and pieced.together by Margaret, but he had scattered them so widely that that seemed impossible. Miss Little, who had transferred her gaze from the rose bush to her lover's face, seemed to enjoy its expression. Then John rocked violently in the veranda chair in the hope that the .action would induce mental stimulation, but it did not. "Will you come with me for a moment?" Margaret asked, rising and entering the house. John followed her to Iter study. Thore, on the little desk, was the pile of fj*an*tt|fjs* f*MvM»cg»f«t look a note Irons t i e bosom of bar dress, unfolded It slowly, and handed it to John. "Thar* was a pises of carbon paper among the top sheets." she said, "and* this was under it/' and John read an exact copy of the effusion he had addressed to Margaret the week before. For a moment he looked helplessly at the note, then he glanced shyly down at Margaret, and the expression he saw in her eyes was entirely unlike that with which she had regarded the editor. It seemed to say, "Speak for your* self, John," .and had the stolid typewriter which stood on the desk risen to the occasion it would have added another love scene to its long list. In the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Kendall, in Schuylerville, is a den, and on one of its walls hangs a bit of black paper in a gilt frame. When the curlouB question John about this paper he tells them its story, if they are worthy, and if they are unworthy he merely says that it is an impressionistic picture of the darkest hour before dawn.—Bennett Musson in Los Angeles Times. YOUTHS WERE WELi. TAUGHT Destined to Govern, They Knew Need of Self-government. A number of years ago Commodore Perry, speaking to the students of Antloch college, Ohio, told tfte following anecdote, illustrating the perfect discipline maintained among the naval cadets of his time: "Some twenty-five years ago I was carelessly walking on the levee of a city of the Adriatic. A short distance from the shore lay a man-of-war at anchor. I called an oarsman, and told him to return for me in an hour. "I wandered over the beautiful ship, admiring its guns, its keeping, its admirable appointments and its excellent management, shown by its condition. At the end of my hour I began to look for my oarsman. Just then I discovered a door on my right. I opened it, and in that room sat thirty-two boys. I had been there an-bour and had not heard a stir enough to show that so much as a bird was alive on that boat. "The youngest cadet came to the door and welcomed me with his cordial .military salute. 'Boy, where is your teacher?' 'Gone ashore, sir.' 'Do you keep absolute order while he is gone?' 'Certainly, sir.' "Then passing to the front, I said to one of the older boys: 'Young man, why Jio yon.-act so differently from other boys? Are you.afraid of being punished?' "The cadet rose to his feet. 'Sir,' said he. 'you see before you thirtytwo cadets. We all expect to govern Across the orchard came Margaret others in our future work. The first and the editor; The latter—a smallM element of a good governor is self government; sir, we are practicing that.'»' The commodore added: "That was twenty-five years ago. In the providence of God none of these young men have been callea* to eternity. I will now read you their names." And the audience recognized in each man a name famous in the navy of Great Britain, Germany, Prance or America. —From "Washington: Its Sights and Insigtfls." Owl Saved Him. King Robert the Bruce, according to the well-known story, once owed bis safety to a spider. Among the Tartars of Central Asia there is a belief that one of their khans or chiefs was preserved, long years ago, by the great horned owl. He had hidden in a thicket to avoid capture by some enemies. JBy jand by his pursuers came to this spot. The first thing they saw was an owl sitting on a. bush. What did this mean? It signified, in their eyes, that this bird would not rest quietly there if any man were lying concealed close by. Therefore they argued that the khan could not be there, and so they hurried on to search for him elsewhere. At nightfall the khan made his way to the camp of his men and told them how he had been saved from certain death. His story caused them ever afterward to look upon the owl with reverence and love. They wore its feathers in their caps as a pledge of victory. Judge Siebecker's Unique Decision. Judge Siebecker of Wisconsin has displayed Solomon-like wisdom in some of his decisions. Two men appeared before him. One was a butcher, who claimed that the defendant owed him 110 for a meat Wtlr~The~defendant. a strikingly thin and gaunt figure, denied the bill. Statements and counter- statements followed each other with great rapidity. The lie was passed, but the constable intervened. "When was thia meat - purchased which you sold the defendant?" asked the judge. v "During the past four weeks, your honor," declared the butcher. "Then I decide this case in favor of the defendant," remarked the Judge, deliberately, as he scrutininzed the emaciated figure before him. "His appearance indicates that he has not eaten $10 Korth of meat in his lifetime."— Boston Post. Music—The unlocking of a door ta heaven.

A big dose was given him while he was rollin?about o the ground in great agony and in a few minutes the do;e was . epeated.

X II - Heard Both Sides - 11 The three gentlemen In the smoking room of the Pullman on the Chicago, flyer were intimate business acquaintances. After wearing the market and kindred subjects threadbare they sat back silently and looked at one another. Bach knew the habits of the •other so well that it required no word on any one's part to explain that one and all yearned for a fourth man to make up a game of "draw." The broker made a move. He punched the button by his side, and wiien a porter ^appeared he took from h'Js case a business card, wrote a few words in pencil on the back of it and banded it to the darky. "Deliver that to the gentleman in 3 A, will you, Sammy? And wait to see if there is an answer," he said. So it happened that a few minutes later, with the luxurious train bowling smoothly over the road-bed, and only fifty out of the nine hundred odd milea between New York and Chicago covered, a quiet game of poker was in progress. The newcomer differed slightly from the other three in that his clothes were somewhat noticeable, any his Jewelry shiny, as if all purchased in a lamp, and recently. Yet he was a corker at the game of draw. None of the four observed that each time the conductor passed through the car he would gaze with a serious air at this fourth man, whose profile greeted him as he sat facing the engine. The steely blue eyes of the conductor would rest for several seconds on the face of the stranger, as if busy with reminiscence, and then he would continue his passage, seemingly puzzled. A. curious thing about poker is the almost uncanny facilities it affords for establishing an intimacy. To an expect, the stranger who sits opposite him playing his hand, taking up the cards, arranging them, betting, pulling in the pot, is at the same time laying •bare cardinal features of his mental nake-np, so that ten minutes' play does more to create an environment <tf friendship than hours of conversation indulged in on a first meeting. therefore it seemed perfectly natural when the broker, after scanning the stranger, allowed his glance to rest on 4L-> latter's head. He looked at the you blankety-blank ton of Satan." yelled the bad man. parting In a mass of fine black hair. M& fifBt glance there was nothing anvassal aboiii u , Jmt-a few moments' mhmij stowed that it was wider than natural, and1 finally the Jobdiscerned that the thin straight Ha* was aa white as chalk, as smooth as satin, and in reality was as straight as a rule^jvhereon no nair grew,Qb_* serving his steady glance, the stranger leaned back in his chair and remarked: "I see, sir, that you are more observant thau the majority of mankind." The broker hastened to murmur an apology, but the other cut.him short with a good-natured laugh and a deprecatory wave 0- his hand whilo he said: "That line of parting is really a scar, as pernaps you have perceived. It is rarely that I relate the incident I could neither choke him nor secure possession of the weapon, that resulted in my receiving it, yet if you care to listen I will tell the story." The other three drew their chairs up in an attitude of expectant interest, and after pausing a moment, as if for reflection, the stranger went on: "It happened fifteen years ago," h« said, "when I was ranching out West. I went West because I drank myself nearly crazy at college, and, being ashamed to go home, I resolved to lose myself on the plains, at least until I could return decently. I became a cowboy. I learned to do many things not considered essential in the East, and the pure air and hard work, and a minimum 01 whisky, soon set me up again. But, try as I would, I could never make boon companions of my comrades, and they, realizing that I was not of their class, did not take me entirely inta their fellowship. "Well, one evening Jake Bellalr rode to town on his broncho. He was known as 'Bad' Jake. The news spread, and every one kept his eyes skinned for first sight of him. Suddenly there was a whoop outside the saloon where the boys were gathered, drinking and playing, and Jake appeared in the doorway. In a trice I found myself standing alone beside the bar. The bartender had disappeared, and every cowboy had sunk softly into a seat Jake's eyes lighted on me, and next instant he stood In front of me, and I looked down the throat of a Colt 45. , - " 'Dance, you blankety-blank son of Satan!' yelled the bad man. 'You bloomln' Eastern pickpocket, or trainrobber, or whatever you are, dance, or I'll fill you full of holes.* "I never before had looked into tho menacing barrel of a revolver, and my gaze remained glued to the little rond blackened circle; from which death might spurt at any moment, Although I never for an instant took my eyes from the hole, I could feel the glanet of every one i s the room Axed on us. I did not wast to dance. If I did, I would be ridiculed, maybe forced to leave town, or have fifty fights on my hands in as many days. If I did not "The next instant I bounded like a panther at the bad man. My left hand closed about the pistol, my right hand seized his throat, with no gentle grasp. The action was so quick he hadn't time to draw the trigger. I could feel the baffled rage sizzle within him as I wrenched the pistol barrel toward the roof, being unable, though I exerted all my strength, to tear the weapon entirely from his grasp. * was an athlete and a bit of a boxer at college, and I meditated suddenly releasing his throat and smashing him on the jaw. But he read my thoughts, and his left hand closed on my right wrist with a grasp of iron. So, locked in that grip, we struggled, amid a hubbub now, for every cne in the room was on his feet, exclaiming, at the audacity of my action. "I felt I was weakening. Little by little the muzzle of the revolver described a downward arc. and we were both covered with perspiration and panting like prize fighters. Strain as I would, I could neither choke htm nor secure possession of the weapon. And then, as a dizzy feeling began to creep over me. the shot came. At the same instant I felt with the instinct that serves a man in place of wits at such a time that he had not hit me, although 1 could feel the biting powder sink into my scalp and face. As 1 started back I wrenched the pistol from his hand, and the next moment had him covered before his left hand could drop to his hip, where another gun was strapped. "'Hands up!' I cried. Jake threw them up. I stepped up to him, unloosenedhis belt, which dropped to the floor, and then, regaining my former position, I exclaimed: " 'I never saw you before, and I never want to again. I will give you till midnight to shake this town. If 1 ever set eyes on you again one of us dies. Go!' "He backed to the door, and wo could hear his horse's hoofs strike the clay in a gallop. "Then I raised my hand to my head and brought it back covered with blood. The bullet, intended for my brain, had run along my skull, tearing a clean, straight furrow that healed in a weak, but left this scar, which will be there as long as I live." The other three gentlemen were expressing their interest in the narrative, when once more the conductor appeared. The narrator looked him full in the face: "Damned if it isn't O'Dell," said the official, heartily. "Say, I knew we'd meet before, and it's worried me for the last two hours to place you straight. It's only this minute that I saw that scar on your head, and then I had you for sure. Why, it must be ten years ago you got that. Do you remember? You were braking In the Olean yards, and when Tench decided for a flying switch one night you went in to cut loose the 'box.' And you missed your hold and went down. We thought you were a dead one sure, and you escaped with that rip on your head. Well, how are you, anyway. Given up the road long ago, I suppose?"— New York Press. NOT A SHREWD CUSTOMER. Man Thought He Was Beating the Bar, but Lost His Own Money. When a man drinks alone it is 15 cents straight in most respectable groggeries. The other day a genius stepped jauntily into a Pine street posada and ordered "two whiskies." The natural supposition of the barman was that a friend was expected, therefore he set out two empty glasses, two glassfuls of water from the tub and a bottle of something, then bit off a check for 25 cents, cast it upon the bar and remarked: "Please pay the cashier." The customer poured an ounce of liquor into each empty glass and passed back the bottle. After swallowing one drink he ate a cracker, then gulped down the other, paid his quarter and went out. "Wise guy." said the barman, impressed. "Fool guy," said the owner. "He paid a quarter for two ounces of whisky in two glasses."—New York Press. His Task Too Hard.

At a recent meeting of the National Agricultural Society of France If.

"I have seen," said he, "a eucalyptus whose roots had penetrated into the pipes of a sink. Tho fountain that supplied the bouse had been destroyed by the roots of neighboring eucalyptus trees, which it was necessary to cut down. At the forestry station ot St. Ferdk nand, built near a spring that issues from a natural grotto, the roots of the eucalyptus trees planted above have penetrated the fissures in the rock and have completely covered the Interior of the grotto with a thick velvety layer formed by ah innumerable quantity of tiny rootlets, short and tufted, similar to those by which the ivy clings to walls, Owning to their energetic absorptive power.these root' lets, greedy for water, had also in*, vadedand choked the conduits so that the outflow from the spring was greatly reduced. We may say, then, that although certain species of eucalyptus are valuable aids in drying marshy land it is prudent to keep from plant* Ing them in the neighborhood of springs used for domestic purposes or irrigation." vA Maryland Wonder.

Catarrh of the pelvic organs produces such a variety of disagreeable and irritating symptoms that many people—in fact, the majority of people—have no idea that they are caused by catarrh. If all the women w h o are suffering with any form of female weakness would write to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, and give him a complete description of their symptoms and the peculiarities of their troubles, he will immediately reply with complete directions for treatment, free of charge. Mrs. Eva Bartho, 133 East 12th street', N. Y. City, N. Y., writes : " / suffered for three years with leucorrhea and ulceration of the womb. The doctor advocated an operation which I dreaded very much, and strongly objected to go under it. Now I am a changed woman. - Peruna cured me; it took nine bottles, but I felt so much improved I kept taking it, as I dreaded an operation so much. J am today in perfect health and have not felt so well for fifteen years."—Mrs. Eva Bartho. Miss Maud Steinbach, 1399 12th Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: " Last winter I felt sick most of the time, was irregular and suffered from nervous exhaustion and severe bearing down pains. I had s o frequently heard of P e m n a and what wonderful cures it performed so I sent for a bottle and in four weeks my health and strength were entirely restored to m e . " —Miss Maud Steinbach. Everywhere the women are using Peruna and praising it. Peruna is not a palliative simply; it cures by removing the cause of female disease. Dr. Hartman has probably cured more women of female ailments than any other living physician. H e makes these cures simply by using and recommending Peruna. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from theuse of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full, of your case and he wiil be pleased to give you his valuable gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium^ Columbus, Ohio. MORPHINE Milk Exposed to Foul Odors.

At O^clen where we had just arrived at the close of our last letter, we were treated to a sight not down on the bill of fare. We were lucky enough to catch Pressident Roosevelt and got a look at him on the rear platform as his train pulled out. We are laid over here and from four p. m. until three a. m. we took the town in, pronouced it O. K., saw more drunks than you could shake a stick at and crawled into our berth and got some sleep but the minute the engine was hitched on, it was all off but we stood it O. K.. and when old 'Sol' again made his apperance we saw the saiie waste of country, hardly a green thing except sage brush, until we cross the Wahstch range, pass through Castle Gate on the Price river, also a long row of coke ovens where hundreds of tons of coal are made into coke every day. The mountains here are 7,404 feet above sea level. We strike another waste of country, until we reach Utah Valley. This is a beautiful valley extending for miles North and South and not more than four miles wide. We got a look at Utah lake and also Salt Lake and Salt Lake City. AYe change roads again at Pocotellie Idaho, and have to wait some hours. Resuming our Journey we continue in the bad lauds though an endless waste of sage brush, but this country seems to raise sheep to some profit aud there are some nice looking towns along the way. We again pass another night in the cars but this time it was so hot I failed to turn in. We crossed the state line into Oregon shortly after daylight- This is a much better state than any except Kansas, we have seen. We bid good-bye to the pullman and the friends we found on the journey at Pendeltoii and wait four hours here, then take a day coach crowded to its full capacity and start on the finish. We were unlucky enough to be caught in a western hot wind on this end of our journey and had to keep the car windows down with the themomitor at 105 and the air full of sand, smoke and cinders and ai rived at Spokane at 7:30 twenty-six hours late, throughly tired out hungry and dirty; got some supper took a bath pnd got into some clean clothes, went to bed and slept the sleep of the weary.

As the immediate result of the closing of the saloons in Santa Monica, Cal., which was accomplished last year her bank deposits have increased $4(5,000 during a period of three mouths, as against the same tnree months under license, and her arrests for drunkeness have fallen off 80 per cent. Ill the town of Kewanee, 111., the manufacturing concerns pay out each week as wages $36,000. The town has only 8,000 people so that the operatives must coustitue the great bulk of the breadwinners of the place. It is all so stated that in the banks of Kewanee the weekly deposits of the saloonkeepers amount to $24,000. Does this.indicate that somewhere about half of the wages paid out by the factories goes into the till of the saloons. r n r r To Lovers of rncc GeOoo o MUSIC A book called "An Introduction to the Latest Piano Mmic."

[Original.] Edward Holmes was packing to go to his wedding, which was to take place the next day, when he received the following telegram from his betrothed's mother: <. Come at once. Lillian Is very ill. Snatching his handbag, which waa ready, he hurried to the depot and took the first train. It was 6 o'clock in the evening in June, that month chosen by so many lovers in which to consummate their happiness, and the foliage along the route had in it the first freshness of summer. Bu£ Edward Holmes did not notice it. He was far away, fearing, hoping. On reaching N., a large summer resort, he was inexpressibly distressed to find that the train went no farther. He must wait for one that passed at 11 o'clock. It was still twilight, and he walked to a hotel not half a mile from the station. The house was brilliantly lighted, while the guests were flitting about in picturesque costumes preparatory to a fancy dress ball. This was no place for one in anxiety, but Holmes, not relishing waiting at the station, took a wicker cha,ir in a dark corner of the piazza. There he spent the evening. When a dance was finished, coupl<s would promenade on the piazza. Holmes found it a relief to watch them, and the time passed more quiekly for his mind being distracted till half past 10. Then, impatient to be again in motion, ho. was about to rise and return to the station when, glancing aside and slightly behind him, he saw what at first he took for a sheaf of light coming through a window. Then he noticed that it was a woman. Her dress was of white, though of what mateiinl he could not tell. Looking up at her face, he saw that it w;i.s masked, also wii.Ii white. He would have risen, but at the moment he felt a hand rest lightly on his shoulder. A great deal passed through Edward Holmes' mind in a very few moments. Who wns this girl, for she had the appearance of a young person, and what was her interest in him? It did not occur to him that she could be a stranger to him. She must be one of the guests, some friend of his who had seen him when he first reached the hotel and had sought him out. Doubtless she would amuse herself with his efforts to discover her identity. For a moment he sat still. Then, notwithstanding the hand on his shoulder, he" rose and faced his visitor. "You are"— He paused. The form seemed familiar, but there was too little light for him to identify it She did not answer his ouestion, but slipped her hand within his arm and led him for a walk, not toward the entrance, brilliantly lighted, but to a dark end of the piazza. She did not speak, and Holmes, who was in no mood for such an adventure, could think of nothing to say to her. lie thought-of confiding bin anxiety to her; but, after all, she might be a stranger. One thing made him start. On passing a chink in a window blind he noticed orange blossoms on her head. His own wedding, set for the ; morrow—would it be a wedding or a , funeral? Would the tlowers be orange blossoms or tube roses? If it had been j difficult for him to speak to his coni- ! panion before, it,was well nigh impos- 1 sible now. A strange dread came over ! him. Then during a momentary breeze ' from behind a light substance touched , his hand. It must be a bridal veil. j Was the costume of a bride an unj usual or a common one for such ocea- ! sions? He could not recall in all his soj cial experience having seen one. A strange Influence seemed to be passing 1 from the girl to him. It came in waves, ; now happiness, now grief. Whatever it ' was, lie did not wish it to end. He took no thought of time, forgetting that he was waiting for a train to take him to Lillian. She spoke no word, nor did he wish her to speak. His senses seemed to become gradually benumbed. There was a mystical mingling of chat, music and laughter, besides the dripping of a fountain in the center of a lawn before the hotel. Then the sounds all melted away together. Suddenly he was awakened as from a dream by a clock striking. He was still sitting in the dark corner, and his companion was not with him. He looked Up and down the piazza, but she was not to be seen. Had he fallen asleep and dreamed? No; it was all too real. He arose and strode back and forth to ake sure be was awake. TY\M\ he heard a train approach the station and knew that he had not time to reach it before it should start on. Hurrying to the hotel office, he inquired the hour of leaving for the next train and was shocked to hear that he could not get *way from the place till morning. Who was this girl who had kept him away from his beloved, lying on A sick bed and doubtless listening every moment to catch the sound of his step? How could be have been so effected by her presence as lo forget the passing time? There was nothing now for him to do but take a room and go to bed. This he did, but not to sleep. He rose early and went to the station. The time came for the train, but no train came. Locomotives hurried by. Subscribe for the DISPATCH same carrying box cart, and one bore wrecking apparatus. "What?a the matter?" he asked of the station-master. "The train that left here last night at 11 o'clock went down a hundred feet with a bridge. Every passenger was When Edward Holmes reached his destination, Lillian was dead. She/oad passed away the night before soon after he reached the hotel. When he tells of the girl in orange blossoms and bridal veil, biB friends say he was [dreaming. He knows that Lillian saved i him from the wreck. F. A. MITCHEL. Startling Evidence.

Prosecutor Ernest C. Smith gave out the following statement: "Over-burdened by the horrible crime with which she was suspected Mrs. Mary MeKuight sent for me Monday and Tuesday evenings and finally confessed voluntarily that she had administered poison to her brother, to his wife and to the baby. Her arrest and confinement and the burden of her guilt had overcome even her strong will, until she felt that she could not longer withhold her terrible •.secret from the world.

Their open, violent quarrels hecamp the scandal of the capital, and indeed, of the whole country. The language they used to each other would better have befitted peasants. It was the queen's moral character which aroused th& animosity of the people. She had been living opeiily with the king for years before they were, married, and when the engagement was announced the ministry resigned in a body by way of protest, declaring the proposed marriage to be a menace to the state.

It is claimed that they are afraid to testify and there is a general impression that jurors are also apprehensive for the future. Many reasons are advanced for the current opinion that there is not likely to be a conviction in the case. The examination of Isaac S.

A HOVE STORY BY AMELIA E. BARR (CopyrieUt. 1900, by Amelia E. Barr) — XHAPT1R_XIV. •(Continued.) "My dear father! hind you a r e ! " "It is my desire to bo so, Oeorge. You cannot, after this unfortunate delay, go to Doctor Moran without the proofs of your ability to take care of his daughter's future." "How soon can this business be Accomplished." "In about three weeks, I should think. But wait your full time, and do not go without the credentials of your position. This three cr four weeks Is necessary to bring to perfection the waiting of two yearii." "I will take your advice, sir. 1 thank you for your generosity." "All that I have is yours, George. And you can write to this dear girl every day in the interim. Go now and tell her what I Bay. I had other dreams for you, as you know—they are over now—I have awakened." "Dear Annie!" ejaculated George. "Dear Annie!" replied the Earl with A sigh. "She is one of the daughters of God, I am not worthtfTo call her mine, but I have sat at^her feet, and learned how to love, and how to forgive, and how to bear disappointment. I will tell you, that when Col. Saye insulted me last year aud I felt for my sword and would have sent him a letter on Its point—Annie stepped before him. 'Forget, and go on, dear uncle/ she said, and I did so with a proud, sore heart at first, but quite cheerfully in a week or two; and at the last Hunt dinner he came to me with open hand and we ate and drank together, and are now firm friends. Yet, but for Annie, one of us might be dead, and the other flying like Cain exiled and miserable. Think of these things, George. The good of being a son is to be able to profit from your father's mistakes." They parted with a handclasp that went to both hearts and a3 Hyde passed his mothers room, he went in, and told her all that happened to him. She listened with a smile and a heartache. She knew now that the time had come to say "farewell" to the boy who had made her lite for twenty-seven years. "He must marry like the rest of the world, and go away from her," and only mothers know what supreme self-sacrifice a pleasant acquiescence in this event implies. But she brarely put down all the clamoring selfishness of her long, sweet care and affection, and said cheerfully: "Very much to my liking Is Cornelia Moran. A loving wife and noble mother she will make, and it I must lose thee, my Joris, there is no girl in America that I like better to have thee." "Never will you lose me, mother." "All then! that is what all sons say. The common lot; I look for nothing better. But see now, I give thee up cheerfully. If God please, I shall see thy sons and daughters; and thy father has been anxious about the Hydes. He would not have a share of It* and comes into c o n t a c t - How wise; and | not-only with - Iho _happines3—but with the other partakers of that happiness— a divine kind of interest for generous deeds, which we may all appropriate. \ The next morning Mary Darner called. She knew that a letter from Cornelia was possible, and she knew also that it would really be as fateful to herself a3 to Hyde. If, as she suspected, it was Rem Van Ariens who had detained the misdirected letter, there was only one conceivable result as regarded herself. She, an upright, honorable English girl, loving truth with all her heart, and despising whatever wa3 underhand and disloyal, had Dut one course to t a k e - she must break off her engagement with a man so far below her standard of simple morality. So she looked anxiously at Annie as she entered, and Annie would not keep her in suspense. "There was a letter from Miss Moran last night," she said. "She loves George yet. She re-wrote the unfortunate letter, and this time it found its owner. I think he has it next his heart at this very moment." "I am glad of that, Annie. But who has the first letter?" "I think you know, Mary*" "You mean Mr. Van Ariens?" "Yes." "Then there Is no more to be said. I shall write to him as soon as possible." "I am sorry " "No, no! Be content, Annie. The right must always come right. Neither you nor I could desire any other end, even to our own love story." "But you must suffer." "Not much. None of us weep if we lose what is of no value. And I have noticed that the happiness of any one Is always conditioned by the unhappiness of some one else. Your cousin and Cornelia will be happy, but there are others that roust suffer, that they may be so. I will go now, Annie, because until I have written to Mr. Van Ariens I shall not feel free. And also, I do not wish him to come here, and in his last letter he spoke of such an intention." So the two letters—that of Hyde to Cornelia, and that of. Mary Darner to Van Ariens, left England for America in the same packet. The tone of the Manor House was now-set to a key of the highest joy and expectation. Hyde unconsciously struck the note, for he was happily busy from morning to night about affairs relating either to his marriage or to his future as the head of a great household. All his old exigent, extravagant liking for rich clothing returned to him. He had constant visits from his London tailor, who brought with him 'a profusion of rich cloth, silk and satin, and who firmly believed that the tailor made the man. There were also endless interviews with the family lawyer, endless readings of law papers, and endless stranger here—nor would I. Our hope consultations about rights and ^ sucis in thee and thy sweet wife, and very glad am I that thy wife is to_be Cornelia Moran.' —fath-er^s "wisdom and goneroslty__ And even after Joris had left her she smiled, though the tears dropped down upon her work. She thought jof the presents she would send her cessions, which Hyde was glad and grateful to leave very much to his Visits from his London tailor, daughter, and she told herself that Cornelia was an American, and that she had made for her, with her own hand8 and brain, a lovely home wherein her memory must always dwell. Indeed she let her thoughts go far forward to Bee, and to listet to the happy boys and girls who might run and shout gleefully through the fair large rooms, and the sweet shady gardens her skill and taste had ordered and planted. Thus her generosity made her a partaker of her children's happiness, and whoever partakes of a pleasure has his Some of the last days were occupied in selecting jewels for Cornelia, with webs of gold and silver tissues, and Spitalflelds silks so rich and heavy, that no mortal woman might hope to outwear them. To these Annie added from her own store of lace, many very valuable pieces, and the happy bridegroom was proud to see that love was going to send him away with both arms full for the beloved. The best gift, however, came last, and it was from the Earl. It was not gold or land, though he gave generously of both these, but one. which Hyde felt made his way straight before him, and which he knew must have cost his father much self-abnegation. It was the following letter to Dr. John Moran: "My Dear Sir: "It seems then, that our dear children love each other so well, that it is beyond our right, even as parents, to forbid their marriage. I ask from you, for my son, who is an humble and ardent suitor for Miss Moran's hand, all the favor his sincere d evotion—to-her— oleserves^ _We_have "Have you noticed, father, how •mail and fragile^ooklng site is? Cap she really be slowly d y i a g r - "No, she is sot dying; she is only going a little further away—a little further away, every .hour. Some hour she will be called, and she will answer, and we shall see her no more— here. But 1 do not call that dying, and if it be dying, Annie will go as calmly and simply, as if she were fulflllirg some religious rite or duty. She, loves God, and she will go to Him." The next morning Hydo left, his father's home forever. It was impossible that such a parting should be happy. No hopes, no dreams of future joy, could make him forget the wealth of love he was leaving. Nor did he wish to forget. And woe to the man cr woman who wculd buy composure and contentment by forgetting —by really forfeiting a portion of their existence—by being a suicide of their own moirl nature. The day was a black winter day, with a monotonous rain and a dark Hyde had knelt by her sofa, sky troubled by a ghostly wind. Inside the house the silence fell on the heart like a weight. The Earl and Countess watched their son's carriage turn from the door, and then looked silently into each other's face. The Earl's lips were firmly set, and his eyes full of tears; the Countess was weeping bitterly. He went with her to her roOm, and with all his old charm and tenderness comforted her. At that moment Annie was forgotten, yet no one was suffering more than she was. Hyde had knelt by her sofa, and taken her in his arms, and covered her face with tears and kisses, and she had not been able to oppose a parting so heart-breaking and so final! The last tears she was ever to shed dropped from her closed eyes, as she listened to his departing steps; and the roll of the carriage carrying him away forever, seemed to roll over her shrinking heart. She cried out feebly—a pitiful little shrill cry, that she hushed with a sob still more full of anguish. Then she began to cast over her suffering soul the balm of prayer," and prostrate with closed eyes, and hands feebly hanging down, Doctor Roslyn found her. He did not need to ask a question, he had long known the brave self-sacrifice that was consecrating the child-heart suffering so sharply that day; and he said only— "We are made perfect through suffering, Annie." "This is the last sorrow that can come to me, father.'' "And my dear Annie, you would have been a loser without it. Every grieJL has, its meaning, and the web both been young, we have both loved, accept then his affection as some atonement for any grievance or injustice you remember against myself. Had we known each other better, we should doubtless have loved each other better; but now that marriage will make us kin, I offer you my hand, with all it implies of regret for the past, and of respect for the future. Your servant to command. "RICHARD HYDE." "It is the greatest proof of my love I can give you, George," said the Earl. when the letter had been read; "and it is Annie you must thank for it." of life could not be better woven, if only love touched It." "I have been praying, father." "Nay, but God Himself prayed in you, while your soul waited in deep resignation.- God -gave- you—both the resignation and the answer." "My heart failed me at the last— then I prayed as well as I could." "And then, visited by the not yourself in you, your head was lifted up. Do not be frightened at what you want. Strive for it little by little. All that is bitter in outward things, or in interior things, all that befalls you in the course of a day, is your daily bread if you will take it from His hand." Then she was silent and quite still, and he sat and watched the gradual lifting of the spirit's cloud—watched, until the pallor of her face grew lumiuo »s with the inner light, and her wide open eyes saw, as in a vision, things invisible to mortal sight; but open to the spirit on that dazzling line where mortal and immortal verge. And as he went home, stepping slowly through the misty world, he himself hardly knew whether he was in the body or out of it. He felt not the dripping rain, he was not conscious of the encompassing earthly vapors, he had passed within the veil. And his feet stumbled not, nor was he aware of anything around, until the Earl met him at the park gates and touching him said reverently— "Father, you are close to the highway. Have you seen Annie?" "I have just left her." / , l S h e is further from us than ever." "Richard Hyde," he answered, "aha is on her way to God, and she rest nothing short of that." (To be continued.)

Clerk Marr, of the committee on state affairs, and Clerk Crampton, of the judiciary committee, were each awarded $2 a day extra from the beginning of the session. Miss Harbour, general stenographer for the senate, was also voted an additional $2 a day. Another little snap, that went through was in the shape of a concurrent resolution permitting all state officers whose official residence Is not designated at Lansing under the law to have their hotel bills In the city audited and allowed. This, if constitutional, would permit officers like the tax commissioners to collect their Lansing hotel expenses. Mr. Fuller, president pro tern of the senate, was presented with a cut glass punch bowl, with gold ladle and a gold-hended cane. Speaker Carton was presented by the members of the house with a silver punch bowl. Mr. Denby. in making the presentation, said: "The play is almost over. On the morrow our case goes to the Jury of the people to judge us by our acts. We have tried to do our best I believe that seldom, if ever, has a more honest or better-intentioned lot of representatives lalrored for the people than those that have composed this house." Mr. Carton, In reply, said: "If mistakes have been made they were mistakes of judgment." With the usual horse play at the end of the session the legislature adjousn* ed at a few minutes past 12 o'clock on Wednesday. This finale of the session was exclusive in the house.

His Last Hope Realized From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont. In the rirst opening of Oaklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the matiy seekers after fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. Uming his traveling and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, togather with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossble check, and along in June the case became so bad that he expected to die One day one of hi3 neighbors thought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrbcea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about o the ground in great agony and in a few minutes the dose was . epeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within and hour the pa- 24-27 WM. LAVEROCK. 9 F a r m t a r S a l e .

Jackson flour is being sold to grocers for 15 cents per barrel less than we can sell our Spring Wheat Blend. Both flours are sold at the same price at retail, and unless you insist on having the bent you are yery apt to get that which yields the most profit. We do not say that all merchants deal in this way. Some are fair minded enough to recognize merit regardless of a tew cents difference in price. PINCKNEY FLOURING MILLS Notice !

Love !• Here!" On the morning that Hyde sailed for America, Cornelia received the letter he had written her on the discovery of Rem's dishonorable conduct So much love, so much joy, sent to her in the secret foldings of a sheet of paper! In a hurry of delight and expectation she opened it, and her beaming eyes ran all over the joy- /al words it brought her—sweet fluttering pages, that his breath had moved, and his face been aware of. How he would have rejoiced to see nor pressing them to her bosom, at some word of fonder memory or desire. In the afternoon, when the shopping for the day had been accomplished, Cornelia went to Capt. Jacobus, to play with him the game of backgammon which had become an almost daily duty, and to which the captain attached a great importance. "I owe your daughter as much as I owe you, sir," he would say to Doctor Moran, 4,and I owe both of you a bigger debt than I can clear myself of." This afternoon he looked at his vicitor with a wondering speculation. There was something in her face and manner and voice he had never before seen or- heard, and madame—wno watched every expression of her husband— was easily led to the same observation. She observed Cornelia •closely, and her gay laugh especially revealed some change. It was like the burst of bird song in early spring and she followed the happy girl to the front door and called her back when .she had gone down the steps, and said, as she looked earnestly in her face: "You have heard from Joris Hyde? I know you have!" and Cornelia nodded her head, and blushed and smiled. • and ran away from further question. When she reached home she found Madame Van\Heemskirk sitting with her mother, and the sweet old lady •rose to meet her, and said before Cornelia could utter a word: "Come to me, Cornelia. This morning a letter we have had trom my Joris, and sorry am I that I did thee so much wrong." 1 "Madame, I have long forgotten it, and there was a mistake all rcund," answered Cornelia cheerfully. "That is so—and thy mistake first of all. Hurry is misfortune; even to be happy, it is not wise to hurry. Listen now! Joris has written to his -grandfather, and also to me, and very busy will he keep us both. His grandfather is to look after the stables, and to buy more horses, and to hire serving men of all kinds. And a long letter also I have from my daughter Katherine, and she tells me to make her duty to thee my duty, That is my .pleasure also, and I have been talking with thy mother about the house. -Now I shall go there, and a very pleas- »nt home I shall make it." ' Then Cornelia kissed madame, and afterwards removed her bonnet, and imadame looked at her smiling. • For nearly a week Cornelia was too —/busy—t©—take—Arpntn. [JI\Q her con« ^ideration. She did not care to tell her about Item's cruel and dishonor- •••^^•^va ilVJ~.-JL, TO. • * < She seized and read it arte conduct, and she was afraid the shrewd little Marquise would divine some change, and get the secret out tot her. 1 After a week had elapsed Cornelia went over one morning to see her ^friend. But by this time Arenta knew everything. Her brother Rem had ,been with her and confessed all to his •fisher. She heard the story with indignation, but contrived to feel that •somehow that Rem was not so much' ite/rblame as Cornelia, and other people. f ."XPO. art right served," she said to her brother, "for meddling with foreigners, and especially tor -mixing */ Joye affairs up with an English *' jfrouoV haughty creatures all of them! And you are a very fool to tell any woman such a—crime. Yes, it is a crime. I won't say less. That girl over the way nearly died, and you would have let her die. It was a shame. I don't love Cornelia—but it was a shame." "The letter was addressed to me, Arenta?" "Fiddlesticks! You knew it was not yours: You knew it was Hyde's. Where is it now?" She asked the question in her usual dominant way, and Rem did not feel able to resist it. He opened his pocketbook and frcm a receptacle in it, took the fateful letter. She seized and read it, and then without a word, or a moment's hesitation threw it into the fire. Rem blustered and fumed, and she stood smiling defiantly at him. "You are like all criminals," sue said, "you must keep something to accuse yourself with. I love you too well to permit you to carry that bit of paper about you. It has worked you harm enough. What are you going to do? Is Miss Darner's refusal quite final?" "Quite. It was even scornful." "Plenty of nice girls in Bostcn." ".I cannot go back to Boston." "Why then?" , "Because Mary's cousin has told the whole affair." "Nonsense!" "She has. I know it. Men, whom I had been friendly with, got out of my way; women excused themselves at their homes, and did not see me on the streets. I have no doubt all Boston is talking of the affair." "Go away as soon as you can. 1 don't want to knqw^ where you go just yet. New York Is impossible, and Boston is impossible. Father says go to the frontier, I say go South. And I would let women alone—they are beyond you—go in for politics." That day Rem lingered with his sister, seeing no one else; and in the evening shadows he slipped quietly away. He felt that his business efforts for two years were forfeited, and, that he had the world to begin ov£r again. Without a friend to wish him a Godspeed the wretched man went on board the Southern' packet, and in her dim lonely cabin sat silent and despondent, while she fought her way through swaying curtains of rain to the open sea. This sudden destruction of all her hopes for her orother distressed Arenta. Her own marriage had been a most unfortunate one, but its misfortunes had the importance of national tragedy. Rem's matrimonial failure had not one redeeming quality; it was altogether a shameful and welldeserved retribution. But the heart of her anger was Cornelia—" but for that girl," Rem would have married Mary Darner, and his home in Boston might have been full of opportunities for her, as well as a desirable change when she wearicW of New York. When Cornelia entered the Van Ariens parlor Arenta was already there. She looked offended, and hardly spoke to uer old friend, but Cornelia was prepared for some exhibilion. oi anger. She bail not been see Arenta for a whole week, and she did not doubt she had been well aware of scmething unusual in progress. But that Rem had accused himself did not occur to her; therefore she was hardly prepared for the passionate accussations with which Arenta assailed her. "I think," she .said, "you have behaved disgracefully to poor Rem! You would not have him yourself, and yet you prevent another girl—whom he love3 far better than he ever loved you—from marrying him. He has gone away 'out of the world,' he says, and indeed I should not wonder if he kills himself. It is most certain you have done all you can to drive him to it." "Arenta! I have no idea what you mean. I have not seen Rem, nor written to Rem, for more than two years." "Very likely, but you have written about him. You wrote to Miss Damer and told her Rem purposely kept, a letter, '%hich you had sent to Lord Hyde." "I did not write to Miss Damer. I do not know the lady. But Rem did keep a letter that belonged to Loru Hyde." Then anger gave falsehood the bit and she answered, "Rem did not keep any letter that belonged to Lord Hyde. Prove that he did so, before you accuse him. You cannot." "I unfortunately directed Lord Hyde's letter to Rem, and Rem's letter to Lord Hyde.

I have given you an opportunity to be rude and unkind. You cannot expect me to do that again." Arenta watched Cornelia across the street, and then turned to the mirror and wound her ringlets over her fingers. "I don't care," she muttered. "It was her fault to begin with. She tempted Rem, and he fell. Men always fall when women tempt them; it is their nature to. I am going to stand by Rem, right or wrong." To such thoughts she was raging when Peter Van Ariens came home to dinner, and she could not restrain them. He listened for a minute or two, and then struck the table no gentle blow. "in my house, Arenta," he Baid, "1 will have no such words. What you think, you think; but such thoughts must be shut close in your mind. In keeping that letter, I say Rem be haved like a scoundrel; he was cruel, and he was a coward. Because he is my son I witt not excuse him. No indeed! For that very season, the more angry am I at such a deed. Now then, he shall acknowledge to George Hyde and Cornelia Moran the wrong he did them, ere in my home and my heart he rights nimself." "Is Cornelia going to be married?" "That is what I hear." *o-fcerd HydcJ^ ___ Grain Ration for Metre. In the heart of the corn belt where feeding operations are conducted on a much larger scale than In this state., the steer is usually supplied corn ad libitum, says Professor W. A. Henry. Often this grain is thrown to him in such quantities that all of it is not even swallowed, some falling to the ground to be trampled under foot in the filth, possibly to be picked up by pigs running in the feed lot. In many of our middle western states from twenty to thirty pounds, In a few cases as much as thirty-five pounds, of corn are fed to the steer daily for weeks at a time. Then, too, there is little variety to the feed given. Sometimes corn constitutes the sole con* centrate and straw, hay, or more often cornstalks, constitute the only roughage. It is true that as a rule we in Wisconsin do not place quite so much grain before our steers as do the feeders farther south, but still the allowance is heavy, and there is often no though^ of attempting to reduce it in any way. When corn was cheaponly a few dollars a ton—it did not matter much whether the steer ate a few pounds more or less, especially in seasons when cattle sold well. The cost of corn/ however, is steadily rising, and this Increase is not altogether met by an equal rise In the price of fat cattle. The burning question, then, is, Is it possible to fatten our steers on a smaller allowance of grain than has been customary In the past? In helping answer this question let me first call the attention to feeding operations in Great Britain. No one can say that the beeves of Scotland and England when sent to market are not well fattened. What is the practice of the English and Scotch farmer in regard to the amount of grain which he allows his bullocks? I have spent considerable time in going through the literature on the subject, and am surprised to find that the British feeder gives to his fattening beeves but a small grain allowance. Searching authentic sources of information, I find that the usual grain allowance for the fattening steer in England and Scotland ranges from six to eight pounds a head daily. In a few cases it reached ten pounds, and in only one case out of a score or more of reports have I found it stated that so much as twelve pounds of grain was fed to a steer in a single day, and this amount only at the close of the feeding period. The grains used in Britain consist usually of barley, cornmeal, cottonseed meal, and linseed meal. You all know that the 'turnip or rutabaga, as >we call it is extensively used in feeding operations In Great Britain. With the small grain ration is fed from 50 to 100 pounds of sliced turnips, four or five pounds of cut straw, and from five to ten pounds of hay, either cut or long. On thiB ration the steer in England and Scotland makes a gain of between^one and three-quarters and two pounds daily, or say, from fifty to sixty pounds per month. There is no need of saying that the English stockman does not fatten his bullocks or that they are inferior to ours when they are sold for the block. The English stockman, as a rule, has good cattle, and he usually puts them on the market in a finished condition. f ^ V ' : 4 s W ' T d BM TRUST** •••* Why ^endnote* ^ w * « M Warns* tfceu* N*t1*avft Ballet Ian* ago **!tf»<$av*'tlie conductor of Qh«a.ao«ar bm.

"If always you had thought thus, a great deal of sorrow we had both been spared." "Well, then, a girl cannot get her share of wisdom till she comes to it. After all, I am now sorry I have quarreled with Cornelia. In New York and Philadelphia she will be a great woman. "To take offense is a great folly, and to give offense is a great folly—I know not which is the greater, Arenta." "Oh, indeed, father ," she answered, "if I am hurt and angry, I shall take the liberty to say so. Anger that is hidden cannot be gratified, and if people use me badly, it is my way to tell them I am aware of it. One may be obliged to eat brown bread, but I, for one, will say it is brown bread, and not white." (To be continued.) Cost of a Pound ef Beef.— One who has fo]lowed carefully the feeding experiments cannot but be impressed with the great variation iu fthe amount of feed required to produce a pound of beef, says Professor Frederick B. Mumford. I have given this somewhat careful study, and I have found that the number of pounds of grain required to produce a pound of gain at the different stations has varied from two pounds to fifteen pounds. Even when the same grain ration is used the variations in the amount of grain required to produce a pound of gain are very great. In one experiment at the Xfcraouri experiment station, where corn was the principal grain ration, three pounds of corn were sufficient to produce one pound of gain, while at the Kansas station, where corn was the principal grain ration, it required fourteen pounds of corn to produce one pound of gain. Now, if the profit is largely dependent upon the amount of grain required to produce a pound of beef, then a knowledge of the conditions which make it possible to produce a pound of beef with one-half the quantity of grain will be of the greatest possible assistance in determining upon the methods employed in'profitable cattle feeding. 1 am sure PIso's Cure for Consumpt'on saved my life three years a^o —Mrs. Tuos.

"I have been through Beveral grasshopper epidemics," he said, "but I never saw any such thing. But I did encounter an exodus of prairie dogs once, on what was then a prairie in Nebraska, that held up a long emigrant train for a day and night. "It was during the rush for Pike's Peak. It was no unusual sight to see miles and miles of covered wagons wending their way like an army toward what was supposed to be the better land. "We had been out about two weeks from Omaha when one of ihe advance guard hurried back along the line, with the information that a drove of prairie dogs was crossing the road a mile or so ahead, and that they were so numerous that the vanguard of the prairie schooners had been stopped. A temporary halt was made. "No one supposed it would be of long duration, but, darkness coming on, we rounded up-for the night. The next morning the line did not move forward, nor did it gain an inch ail day. "Then a few of us mounted our horses and rode forward to reconnoiter. When we got within a quarter of a mile of the head of the line we looked forward. The face of the earth was in motion. "As far as the vision extended, north and south, it was the same.

When they were flrst seen we turned the dogs in the train loose upon them, but the dogs soon gave out. Maybe there is • some sort of affinity between domestic dogs and pairie dogs which prompted the former to strike when it came to exterminating their species. "Anyway, the domestic dogs just gave up the job. As for shooting the little brown rascals, that would have been folly. We hadn't the ammunition. '"The last night of the great exodus everybody, tired out with watching it, gave up the job and sought rest Vv'herever it could be found. The next day there wasn't .a prairie dog in sight. We resumed our journey. As we neared our destination and the long lice of prairie schooners began to disintegrate, men had something else to think about, and the sight was forgotten, I suppose. "But I never forgot it, and now and then occasionally I have met some one who also saw the sight, and as I knew they were men who never drank or dreamed. I satisfied myself that I v/as not mistaken in what I saw. I reckon it was the grand army of prairie dogs looking for places to burrow.

It is a pastime as expensive as it is dangerous, yet there is a fascination about it that is seldom satisfied. As a rule the real hunters of big game are modest about their exploits. In fact, they seldom mention them except to each other. One man, whoso specialty has always been elephants, met a fellow whose supreme joy in life is to send the leaden burden of an express rille into the shining coats of man-eating tigers. "I hear you had a narrow escape from a mad tusker," said the tiger hunter. "Tell me about it." "Nothing much to tell." returned the other modestly. "It was not the fault of the.gun and I aimed true enough, but there is no teiling how to kill a mad elephant for sure. This one would not kill and came at me like an express train. Well, I owe my life to a black man, but it's the last time." "You've had enough of elephant hunting, then?" "Not on account of my narrow escape, however," said the other hunter. "It was something that happened when I was coming over on tbo steamer.

"Early one morning I. was waked from a most terrible nightmare by a noise on deck. I turned out of my bunk to investigate.

It was quite loo much for my dream-strained nerves and I keeled over. I'm afraid my elephant-hunting days are over, for I've quite lost my nerve." "And the elephant alongside?" questioned the tiger'hunter. "Was that just part of your nightmare?" "No. Strange as it may seem, the elephant v/as real, as we learned afterward. ' It was the decomposing carinas of Jingo, the pet of the London 7.00. They were shipping him to New York on the Georgic. you remember when he died from a broken heart, and they buried him at sea.

Still, the fact remains that by calculating from the size of the dividends he receives from the corporations in which he is interested it is possible to arrive at an approximately correct estimate of his fortune. A business man closely associated with Mr. Rockefeller and said to be in a position to know is quoted as asserting that Mr. Rockefeller is now by far the richest man in the world, worth more than twice as much as any other American citizen. His Standard OH stock, at the market rates, is worth $500,000,000, from which alone, for several years he has received dividends of $40,000,- 000 per annum, or a little less than $1,000,000 a week. Besides this he the enormous fortune left by William H. Vanderbilt to his sons. In ten years Mr. Rockefeller's - wealth will be nearly $1,000,000,000 from his annual income alone. At that moment, it is said, he can lay his hand on more ready cash than any ten men in New York, including Russell Sage and the Vanderbilts and Goulds. There are, of course, a dozen sermons in the flood of gold pouring into Rockefeller's coffers. How long will it be before he has a corner on the wealth of the United States? Is such enormous power concentrated in the hands of one man a good thing for the public interests? Dp not such aggregations of capital cause discontent in the masses?

Hi tbe wilds of South America many rope bridges exist, and In writing of them a traveler, who published through Messrs. Longmans "The Great Mountains and Forests of South America," says: "There being no trees here, such bridges as were necessary were usually constructed of a couple of ropes stretched across a chasm, upon which was spread a rough kind of matting made of pliant brushwood or a sort of rush. Such bridges swung about fearfully and cracked under the foot 'as if about to give way. Often I held my breath while passing such a bridge, momentarily expecting the rotten contrivance to part in the middle. There was plenty of evidence in the skeletons of horses and mules on the rocks below that accidents not infrequently occurred, but I was assured that not many men were lost, which, of course, was an exceedingly comforting assurance, especially as I noticed that tbe guides were careful to see that either I or George was the first to cross these confounded structures. At one of these places we saw on tlie rocks 800 feet below the skull and bones of two men who hefd been lost about eight years before."

Reserve Fvada Net Taxable. In a unanimous opinion written by Justice Moore the supreme court affirms the judgment of the Wayne circuit court in the case of the Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Oo. vs. Detroit common council nnd board of assessors. This means that the reserve funds of a life insurance company are not taxable in Michigan and that the ; council and assessors must strike from the tax rolls an item of $6,931.829.82 assessed against the Michigan Mutual.

Mix* HJmbnnr'n Face. Thi'e days have passed and Minnie Hlmberg has not made another "oonfession'' as to who marked her pretty face with carbolic acid. With each day the impression grows stronger that Miss Himberg put the acid on herself to annoy her successful rival, Mrs. Eli Wilkinson, who is now under arrest charged with tho crime. This theory seems to be supported by the fact that the stains on Miss Himburg's face are turning from a dark to a pink, making it evident that something else than carbolic acid had been used to create the big sensation.

Silence was broken only by the ticking of the f"C: t -clock. Suddenly Carroll heafd tho .•*'•...'. faint pk-a-pat of a gallopiifg horse on : ^ the frozen turnpike. He walked to the window overlooking the road, and the sharp air bore the sound more .:".." clearly to him. "I wonder who that can be, riding so wildly a t this time of night?" he : asked. "Some drunken fellow going home, I suppose," said Mr. Rankin, indifferent- * l y , but with a significant look at his wife. "He rides like a wild man!" ex- "-claimed Carroll. "Come here! Look at him! One would think both man and beast were hunted—were fleeing from the deviL,himselfr" , Martha" ran to the window and .gazed for a moment at the fast-disappearing horseman. "Papa, maybe it's tfur ghost—'Rob the rider'—and Aunt Dinah once m e t " The mournful bay of foxhounds dist u r b e d by the hoof beats and the suggestion of a chase gave her remark a tinge of color. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rankin had kept their seats while the rider passed, and now tried in vain to Jift the gloom his appearance had left in passing. Carroll noticed this and half laughingly inquired if Martha's ^.ghost was a reality. "Not a t all; simply a stupid old story of the negroes," said Mr. Rankin. He spoke in an unconvincing manner, however, and the fireside ,group relapsed into a moody silence. Carroll slept little that night in the great room assigned to him. Among the old pictures on the walls, which he casually looked over as he un- * dressed, he was struck by a tarnished portrait of a girl whe closely resem- * "bled Martha. No name was writter on tho worn gilt frame, but on the dustcovered back he found scrawled, "'Martha Rankin, 1830."

Looking dreamily into Martha's eyes as t a e carriage rolled homeward; the question, which be had a s yet put to [, himself only vaguely, came to him, "Does she like me?" He dared not trust himself to ask as to love. While he was turning about this, to him, startling suggestion, a young farmer of the neighborhood whom Carroll had often imagined to be covertly fond of Martha cantered down the road toward them. He pulled up sharply, bowed to Carroll, and directed to Martha a few commonplace inquiries about her family, the crops and t h e next party to be given. Carroll thought he saw a blush steal over her cheek as the young man talked, and after h e bad ridden on, half in jest, but a bit in earnest, he asked if that were her sweetheart. The blush mounted higher as she denied it. Carroll unreasoningly and jealously insisted that he was, and finally Martha poutingly suggested that in any event it was a matter that did not concern him. The clouds had fallen. Carroll had had his question answered. At.supper he announced to his host that his health was -now fully regained and that an urgent letter from home would take him away the foltowing morning. Mr. and Mrs. Rankin expressed regret. Martha coldly said she was sorry, and continued the meal in silence. That night Carroll retired early to his room, but not to sleep. His pride was deeply hurt, and he was indignant. He called himself "Idiot!" and other pleasant things. "She didn't have the heart to say she was sorry: Love! Bosh!" Finally, putting on a light overcoat, he started for a walk upon the pike. It was near midnight when he turned again into the little valley. The full light of the moon was obscured by a mist which rose from the river and spread over the valley. The brooding silence of the night was broken now and then by the distant cry of a fox nound, the low neigh of a horse, or the tinkle of a sheep bell. "Clackety - clack! clackety - clack! There was borne in on Carroll's ears the distant sound of a galloping horse upon the turnpike. Could it be the phantom of Aunt Dinah's story? "Clackety-clack!" The horse was coming nearer. The forgotten tale sprang vividly into Carroll's mind, and he felt the chill of the unearthly creep over him. Sweethearts had quarreled! The phafitom rider was due! Bang! Crash! Crash! and Carroll saw a wildly speeding horseman flash across the bridge and come up the road toward him with uncontrolled gait. Carroll, forgetting all of the improbability of the tale, ran to the roadside and tried to scale the stone fence. But it was too high for him to scale in his nervous condition, and he crouched against it, his eyes glued upon the ever-advancing figure. It thundered along. Now it was almost upon him. A vision of a horse of thoroughbred build, with foam flying from its mouth, with flanks heaving, and of a darkly clad rider with gaze fixed ahead, a cloud of dust, a sound of distant hoofbeats, and Carroll, completely cowed, fled toward the house. On the veranda he met Martha, strangely pale. He clasped her in his arms and whispered: "I won't go home to-morrow."— Walter S. Hiatt in New York Times.

Anyway, folks doan't come dls away nights no moah." And so Aunt Dinah rambled on, eager to tell other stories of the past. Carroll kept the incident In his mind for a while, and then let it drop as a darky superstition. He devoted himself to the task of building up his health, going* hunting, riding to neighborhood fox meets, driving Martha to dances and parties, and In other ways filling out the routine of life in the country. In following this social round he found that the cbase after health can sometimes be made a cheerful occupation, especially with a girl like Martha to help one.

The doctor hears some curious noises when he places his stethoscope against your chest. .When the lungs are in a healthy condition, the medicul gentleman hears a pleusnut, breezy souud, soft in tone, as you draw in the breath and expel it. Should the instrument conrey to his ear a gurgling or bubbling sound he makes a mental note of the fact that you are in what is known as the moist stage of bronchitis. In the dry stage of the same complaint the sound is a whistling, wheezy one. One of the signs of pneumonia is the crackling note that comes through the stethoscope. It is not unlike the sound that can be heard when your fingers and thumb have touched a sticky substance and you first place them together and then part them, holding them close to your ear. Doctors occasionally hear a dripping sound, and that indicates that air and water hare got into some part of the chest where they have no right to be. Blow across a bottle and you will produce a sound which is actually to bo heard in your chest. It is caused: in the same way—that is, by air passing over a cavity. ! rl"l"M"i"l"M"l"M"l"l"I"l"M"M"t'l»M-l" Notice To TRX Payers To villagn tax roll is now in my hands and I am ready at any time to received taxes, according to the order of the village council.

The quite erroneous idea that Welsh is a language of consonants probably arises from the number of w's it contains, according to a Welshman in the London News. "W" In Welsh is generally— and always between two consonants— a pure vowel, sounded like "oo" in English. Thus "cwm" is pronounced "kootn," rhyming with "boom." What is really one of the most remarkable features about the Welsh language is the number of vowels which can come together. In English three vowels in succession are not often met with. In Welsh it is not uncommon to find four or five4—e. g., in "llywiawdwr" (governor). Here each of the five vowels "ywitiw" is pronounced separately In rapid succession. Herei are four linos, consisting entirely of vowels, made by Goromvy Oweu in the eighteenth century: O'i whv wy a wouae, Ieuau o ia, ai e ly?

Judson, ^Benjamin and the governor then went W e r the list of deputies and reviewed t h e districts.

A number of Saginaw citizens have lately received letters stating that property upon which they had paid taxes, and which they believed their own, had been sold to tax title buyers, and ordering them to vacate. In the books returned to the county treasurer of tnxes collected in 1S99, a large number of erasures have been found, descriptions originally marked paid having later had "returned" stamped upon them.

Sajre furnished affidavits to the railyoads against the interests of the state tu the taxation cases, iu which the railroads are seeking to Invalidate the assessment made by the taxing commission aud to overthrow the decision of the state supreme court, which held that the tax commission must use tba actual figure a t which general properties of the state are assessed instead of the figure at which the commission* ers estimated the value of the general properties of the state. In fact, the commissioners In question, furnished" affidavits setting forth that the general properties of the state are assessed at $1,418,251,000, or only about 82 per cent of Us real cash value, which the commissioners say is $1,715,000,000. The railroad men filed these affidavits in the court at Grand Rapids, and they are likely to be among the strongest evidence that will be presented by the railroad men In their case against Auditor-General Powers, otherwise the state of Michigan. It is said that the railroad men asked all of the commissioners to make such affidavits, but that Freeman and Say re were the only ones tu comply with this request. The act of the tax commissioners. Mr. Blair says, is unprecedented in the history of the state. The opposition of Important officials has naturally tangled matters. He is startled to find' state tax officials arrayed against the state. Their statements are surprising, he says, aud are largely based on hearsay. If true, they show neglect on the part of the commissioners. He thought it strange that they should give the figures they did when the valuation is so much higher. He cannot understand why, if the sworn statements are true, the supervisors charged with having knowingly violated the tax laws have not been prosecuted. Furthermore, Mr. Blair says iu his communication to the governor, Commissioners McLaughlin and Dust were approached by a Michigan Central at t'orney and solicited to do. the thins that Freeman and Sayre had done, bul they recognized the impropriety ol turning against the-state, and advised the others not to. When asked what he thought of the action of Freeman and Sayre, Gov. Bliss said. "I was greatly surprised and deeply humiliated to learn of this act. I do not know us yet what I will do. I had but very few minutes',, conversation with the attorney-general." S5B5S55S5W; am ***** W * b • • • • • * « • KIDNEY DOCTORS If* the p e o p l e •XL WW* i *qM*»g backs are ww*.

The Inquest into the cause of the death of Warren Thorpe, the Blackman township farmer, who w a s shot In his own house Sunday, June - 14, brought ought some things which look queer. At the time, it w a s reported that he shot himself, a n d the-reportwas generally believed, but certain things pointed to the death bein;? caused by some interested party who must have tired the fatal shot. There were no powder marks on the face of the dead man, mnd other circumstances supported the theory that he w a s murdered. The verdict the jury rendered is that the person who held the pistol which killed Thorpe is unknown to them. The theory of the verdict ;s that there is much mystery In connection with the death, but the officers do not believe Mrs. Thorpe Is an object of suspicion. If Thorpe did not kill himself it is generally a'dmitted that it was some one else than Mrs. Thorpe. The Tank Exploded. Herman List, of Bay City, was terribly burned about the face and hands, and William Deno aud Ell Blum slightly burned Friday night at the Two-Mile house on the Midland road. -The house is iighleAwith_gagoline, the tank of which is kept in the basement.

The midshipmen on board stood their, watch forward, and every hour it was their duty to come aft and write up the weather columns of the ship's log, showing the reaainjp of the barometer and thermometer and to heave the ship's log to ascertain her speed. The captain, in company with the officer of the deck, was walking the weather side of the deck conversing when Midshipman Walters came aft to write up the log. The barometer, a mercurial one; was hung In the captain's cabin,and Walters, after having read it, helped himself liberally lo the captain's sherry on the cabin sideboard. In walking the deck the captain happened to glance down the cabin skylight and saw the midshipman's proceedings. When Walters came up on deck to heave the log the captain addressed him as follows: "How is the barometer, sir?" Walters saluted and said: "Steadily rising, sir; steadily rising." The captain then asked: "And how i s the decantar, sir?" Walters was taken aback, but with a steady voice replied: "Steadily falling, sir; steadily falling." This reply was too much for the captain, and, bursting out laughing, he said: "Young man, your bright reply has saved you from punishment; but it is a long way to Frisco, so hereafter I beg of you not to consult the decanter as often as you do the barometer."

Dublin, Mich., June 2Sth.—To the many women who suffer with weak back and pains and tired feelings in the small of the back, the experience of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this place will be interesting and profitable. Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very great deal with these back pains and although she had tried many things, she could find nothing tnat would re- Here her. The pain kept on in spite of all sneeould^do; At last she chanced to read the story of another lady who had suffered with the backache, and said she haM been cured by a remedy called Pond's Kidney Pills, and Mrs. Chalker thought she would try the same thing. After the first two boxes had been taken according to directions, she began to f e e l some better, and she kept on till at last she was cured. .Her pains are all gone, and she is *ery grateful. She says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me greatly, and I will always recommend them as a cure for Pain in the Back." In Jail foe 8neazing.

I suffered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that I had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable. In my distress I was advised to use L.ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took the first dose, for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed woman, perfectly well in every respect. I felt so elated and happy that I want all women who suffer to get well as I did."—Miss tsruiLA GANNON, 369 Jones Sk, Detroit* Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association. * It Is clearly shown In tills young lady's letter that Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Compound will certainly cure the sufferings . of wom&n; and when on© considers that Miss Gannon's letter is only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually publishing in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine must be admitted by all; and for the absolute cure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear this important fact m mind when they go into a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that is claimed to be " just as good " as Lydia £ . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female ills has made so many actual cures. How Another Young Sufferer Was Cured. M DEAR MRS.

Lewis Rose, of Grand Rapids, was probably fatally injured by the Grand Rapids and Indiana northbound flyer Thursday. He jumped from tbe train and rolled under it. On account ot a great 'deal of paving and other public improvements, taxes in Monroe will he very large, and assessments on property all over the city have been raised. John H. (Jroff, a traveling man from Anderson, I ml., is under arrest. Lulu Munday, a Benton Harbor dining-room girl having eharjered him with borrowing A $ir>0 diamond ring and returning It with a false setting. Fred Elliott, of Saginaw, who sued the Rapid Railway for $10,000 damages, -claiming to have been ejected from a ear :ifter having paid his fare, was given a wrdict of 25 cents in the circuit court at Port Huron. The body of Harry . Evnrr. of Mt. Pleasant, was found on the track ot the (J. R. & I. railroad with the head and right foot severed'. He was a young man, unnurried, and had been working in Smith's enmp. Fines ranging from $*2.J to $150 were imposed upon 11 Grand Rapids saloonkeepers. They had persisted In continuing business after the council had refused" them licenses. Besides the tines, the judge rebuked them severely. David T. Wyatt. the negro who was recently lvnehed in Belleville, 111., was a graduate of the Centreville high school, in the class of 'S3. Wyatt was lynched for shooting a schooMeaeherwho had refused to grant him a certificate. Traverse City merchants-won't close their stores on the Fourth because it comes on Saturday and to close for two days in succession, they say, would be bad for business.

T. Willard of tbe Kansas experiment station that tbe most profitable combina* tions^of western feeds for western conditions are not yet known and that a promising ueld is here presented for tbe execution of varied and repeated feeding tests with fattening cattle, dairy cows, swine, horses and sheep. What u Balanced Ration 1«. Considerable misapprehension exists, says l'rofessor Willard, as to the meaning of the term "balanced ration/' the idea being prevalent that the balanced ration is a certain combination Of feeds and always the same. In point of fact a combination of feeds that is best adapted—that is, balanced— for one purpose, with one species of animal of u given age and condition, might bo unbalanced if the purpose, the species, the age or condition were different Thus a ration balanced for a growing calf is unbalanced for a fattening steer. A balanced ration for a dairy cow is still different, and even the best ration for a cow giving a .large yield of milk is not the best for the same cow at a later period when the milk flow has become small. A balanced ration is simply one in which the feeds are mixed in such proportions as to provide constituents in such relative quantities as experience has shown to give the best results under the give** set of conditions. H o w to Balance t h e Ration. Many farmers realize the importance of a properly balanced ration, but do not know how to compound one. The methods hitherto in use tend to discourage making the necessary calculations,' as they involve guesswork on unfamiliar ground, followed by tedious calculations, to be followed by another guess and the succeeding calculations and so on, until approximately the correct quantities have been arrived at by this cut and try process. In bulletin 115 Professor Willard explains and illustrates n method of his own by which, he claims, it 1« possible to calculate a ration exactly if the composition of the feeds is known. He has endeavored to so simplify the calculation of a ration that any infeJllgont. farmer may-undertakeand accomplish it with but little labor. The process is designed to meet oidimlry' requirements, to be within the mathematical range of all and to demand slight expenditure of time. This bulletin combats the statements of textbooks on computing rations and is designed to show that rations of any degree of perplexity may be balanced with absolute exactness by simple arithmetical processes if feeds a-re available of *b*> necessary composition, FREE:; Uvtrttf A took aated " Aa Introduction to the Latttt frioo Music."

The most potent factor of good breeding, the prime element, the first principle, is nothing more or less than a condensation of the Golden Rule—unselfishness, kindness of heart. Nothing else can ever gain superiority over this great and noble trait of character, and without this no person can possess real refinement, perfect dignity and truly good brooding. Nothing can supply its loss, and nothing can buy its possession. Unselfishness is inherent, innate and inborn. It is-a mysterious something that cannot well be defined and yet may be found in the poorest and humblest as well as in the loftiest and noblest of all God's creatvres. Good breeding is plainly a matter of Instinct an inborn possession that Is one of the greatest of-treasures. Many possess it, but a great many more fall to attain it through lack of the necessary qualities essential to its acquisition.— Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten Y w s ot Suffering. J wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, says Mrs. Mattie Dage, ot Marainsville, Va. I suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried various medicines without obtaining permanent relief. Last summer one of my children was taken with! cholera morbus, and I procured aj bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire re- \ lief. I then decided to try the medi-j cine myself, and did not use one bottle | before I was well and I have never I since been troubled with tha^ .iom> j plaint. One cannot say to much in favor of that wonderful medicine, | This remedy is lor sale by F. A. Sisrler. »1*0* TluM Msvke 4 « M T Vetoes. ' The bellbird, or campanere, which 10 found In South Ameriea and, alto in Africa, cjtn be heard at a distance of three miles. Its note is like the tailing of a distant church bell and Is uttered during the heat of the day, .whten every other bird has ceased to sing and nature is hushed and silent. How the bellblrd utters this deep, loud note is not known, though it is supposed that a fleshy protuberance on its head, which when inflated with air v stands up like a horn, is in some way the cause of i t The hornbill, a bird which is widely distributed in India, the Malay archipelago and'Africa, has also a very loud note. Its call has been described as between the shriek of a locomotive and the bray of a donkey and can be heard a distance of about a couple of miles. The barking bird also utters a very loud note; indeed, it is impossible to distinguish it from the bark of a dog. Its English name, says Darwin, is well given, for I defy any one at first to feel certain that a small dog is not yelping somewhere in the forest. The toucan has also the same peculiarity.

Buddha's tooth is preserved in an Indian temple, the Cingalese worship the tooth of a monkey, while the elephant's and shark's teeth serve a similar purpose among the Malabar and Tonga islanders respectively. The Siamese were formerly the possessors' of the tooth of a sacred monkey, which they valued very highly, but in a war with the Portuguese they lost the holy grinder and had to p a r $3,500,000 to get it back again. It is now kept in a small gold box, inclosed in six other boxes, in o-ne of the many temples of the Siamese capital. A Card.

She looked for some nothing more for her to do but to wait fer her affinity and be married. This was ndt to her taste, and she proposed to her father to study —well, something, anything, so that if she should be left without— "Nonsense:" said the father. "I'll not permit anything of the kind." Then Nellie considered matrimony. The only man who wanted her, so far as she knew, was Fred Langley. But Fred was too matter, of fact. He was a plodder. He had plodded at college, at the law school and was now plodding in his profession. She thought over a number of others, but they all had something about them unsuited to her taste. She gave up the matrimonial problem, but one day, on reading a matrimonial advertisement, just for fun she thought she would advertise for a husband and see what kind of answers one receives in such cases. Sitting down at the mahogany writing desk in the library, she wrote in a large hand (her own was very delicate) with a stub pen and very black ink a communication in the usual form. Then lest some one should find out that she was so absurdly engaged she took the precaution to carry it to the newspaper office herself. It would require a large rolume to fill in the body of this story, for a correspondence sprang up between Nellie and an unknown gentleman who called himself Alonzo Courtney, Nellie writing as Clarissa Varlan, the letters growing in length tili near the end an average letter covered'twenty-four pages. Neljie had expected to have a good laugh at her replies. She was mistaken. The first was so delicate and deferential that no one but a thoroughbred could have written it. All denoted extreme refinement. Then the original and attractive ideas the man had! And how these ir'eas appealed to her! It was marvelous that one who had^ never seen her should ha*e such an insight into her most hidden feelings. His letters became more and more impassioned till at last be begged'for a meeting. Had not Nellie Blake fallen In love with a soul she had seen expressed on paper she would not have granted such an interview. As it was, taking advantage of an evening when her parents would be out, she wrote Mr. Courtney that she would receive him at 8 j o'clock. When the hour arrived, she was in the drawing room in her most becoming costume, pink sirk, her hair done high and no jewels. The lamps were dimmed with artistic porcelain shades, and she had arranged when her correspondent arrived to be standing with a scre6n and a large palm for a background. When the doorbell sounded, her heart went up in her throa*. Then came the card of Mr. Alonzo Courtney, and while he wan getting off his coat and hat in the hall she thought she should faint. .The drawing room door was pushed open, and in walked the matter of fact Fred Langley. To say that Nellie was angry gives no idea of her condition. She was too enraged to say anything for a few moments. Then she hissed: "Impostor!" "Is it an Imposture for a man transcribe his inner self in words one he loves?" "How did you know that I advertised?" "One morning, doubtless soon after you wrote your advertisement, I called on you when you were not at home. The maid, who did not know that you were out, showed me into the library and went upstairs to deliver a message from me. While waiting for her return I noticed some large black letters in reverse on the blotter on the desk; I. ainused myself deciphering what made an excellent puzzle a*nd had nearly finished before it occurred to me that I was reading a secret. For this I must apologize. Will you forgive me?" "And then?" "It occurred to me that you had written the duplicate. I wanted to discover under cover what of strength or weakness, good or evil, there might be in you. I watched for your advertisement and auswercd it." "Had you a right to do so?" "No. One has never the right to lie In concealment for a friend. Yet had I not, been your friend 1 should have had a perfect rigljt. A girl who advertises for a husband is open to all the world. Would you deny me the right you had given millions of strangers?" Nellie winced. "Nevertheless." he went on, "the indiscretion has brought n revelation to i me. I had no idea of the depth of feel- i ing there is In your nature, your no- j ble conceptions and especially your de- ! sire to be something more than a drone. .

One result of the Mississippi flood of •303 1B that the famous high-water mark of 1844 is now a back number. Some bachelor scientist will soon be working day and night to discover a destroyer of the June wedding microbe. A work has appeared entitled "Advice to Plain Girls." As yet there Is no great rush for it at the book counters. The international yachting cup is worth only $500, but it is the hardest bunch of money Sir Thomas ever worked for. His mother was one of those married lid maids who abound even Mx the beat toclety. He was the child of her middle age; and because she resented his .oming, as a check upon her social jayetles, she had compromised with aer Puritanical conscience by calling ilm Welcome., after the colonial ancestor of her mother. So, as Welcome Nye, he was sent forth to create disturbance in the fvorld; which he did in inverse ratio to ills size and vitality. His mother did not long survive his birth, and he was left, the incarnation Since the advent of the scorching auto, the machines might be numbered with, big figures, that he who's run down may read. The man who is so thoughtful as to avoid making a fcol of himself about a woman will find the job taken off his hands by her. Austria now has the fastest battleship afloat.

Whether or net a college education unfits a young man for business, it is sure that business unfits a young man for a college education. Gcv. Pennypacker has discontinued his subscription to the press clipping bureaus. The comments were so onesided thct they ceased to be interesting. The mariner who tempted the terrors of the deep in a dory and turned back because he had rheumatism should thank fortune for his creaking joints. The story that a Los Angeles newspaper man's house has been entered r.nd robbed of "a number of valuables" looks like a sarcastic dig at the profession. A chorus girl has refused to either be married or adopted by a man who has a fortune of $10,000,000. Of course she,is beautiful and cultured and expects to Ptar. • It is all right for King Peter to enjoy bis new honors, but the way in j which he secured them is causing some of the other crowned heads to do a lot of thinking. That Illinois woman who made a jrief farewell speech to the remains of her husoand after the coffin had been lowered was determined to have the last word with him. President Schwab has bought new uniforms for the village band, probably with the understanding that there shall be no tooting within heading distance of his residence. The latest news from Colombia is to the effect that if necessary a new republic will be formed to ratify the Panama canal treaty. This would be a mere pastime down there. A good many people will sympathize with the man who put a bullet into a practical joker. There may be some world where practical Jokers are not a nuisance, but this isn't the one. A New Jersey man has found a $400 pearl in an oyster. Still, it will not be advisable for any man who has a good, steady job at something else to give it up for the purpose of hunting pearls. M,. Jules Huret says the things that Impressed him most in America were | the steel works at Pittsburg, and the American chorus girl. Huret for Jules—but why mention the steel works at all? An esteemed Philadelphia contemporary is discussing learnedly the reasons why popcorn pops. This Is something to which Gov. Pennypacker, as a reasonable man, cannot possibly lake exception. It Is not exactly flattering to the ranlty of man to notice that the June bride it generally rated the most important member of the. combination tad that the bridegroom is dragged in 9xAy a* * sort of accessary eviL "The divvle be your welcome." of her nervousness, her restless activity, to perplex and mystify his grave and dignified father. All legends which he had ever read of elfin children and changeling3 came back to Adelbert Nye's memory during the confused years which followed — years in which his son was the wonder as well as the despair of physicians and nurses; when the period of his teething became an epoch, when the violence with which he took, one after another, and survived the various diseases of babyhood furnished the subject matter for learned papers at countless medical conventions; when the fabled nine lives of the domestic cat became too insignificant for notice by comparison with the falls and bumps and fractures, the maladies external and internal of Welcome Nye, which went to prove what could be endured with the minimum of vitality in the frail and emaciated form of a boy who was destined to live for the trial and long-suffering of his kind. So the child continued to grow, and to become the terror as well as the despair of nurses and teachers. The house servants, who had a perfect horror ot him, referred to him affectionately among themselves as "The Divvle,'' a memory of a night when one of the maids, in the enjoyment of a twilight interview with her favorite policeman, lcoked up to shriek with dismay, as the elfin child, astride the lofty garden wall, laughed In ghoulish glee at their tender farewell! "May the divvle be your welcome!" had growled the disconcerted guardian of the peace, as his eyes followed hers; and since that time the appropriateness of the epithet has grown upon^the household. While his distracted father could reconcile himself to the boy's physical weakness and defects, it was a heavy cross to bear the knowledge of the absolute lack of what the world deems education on the part of his son. His son! And he htmsel ,_ counted a scholar, an ornament • > feis profession; might be elevated to the bench if he so chose; was a marked man in his set as the author of certain deep and thoughtful papers upon historic and scientific topics; had, In fact, all the points of the cultured gentleman and modest scholar. Oh, why, why had Pate punished him by making him the father of such a son, who managed to elude all obligations to study, because, forsooth, the doctors declared that he must not be urged, or worried, or excited! t He was 9 now, was Welcome, but spindling and undersized, and wizened, his sharp features and diminutive hands and feet causing his unhappy father to sigh whenever he noted them. Surely there were Darwinian suggestions about the uncanny and repulsive form of the boy, whose defects were never so apparent as when Adelbert Nye contrasted hit offspring with the beautiful children of hit neighbor, the fascinating Widow Carleton. It was strange that they should have met again, after her tag absence in England. Adelbert'Nye and the beautiful woman, who, aa Leila Deland, had been friends is youth—and more. Ho thought of It an as he wallm* alewly homeward in the moonlight, after his first call at the villa where she was established for the season, oh, shade* of love and poesy! with her twin daughters! Twins! Adelbert Nye deprecated the slang of the day; yet had he put his thoughts into words, and these words Into the vernacular, he must have murmured something about the fact of twins in connection with the Bweetheart of one's youth being calculated to jar even a dignified member of the bar! And, more horrible still, one of the twins had married; ' and Leila—his Leila—was eked a youthful grandmother! "And she Is 10,000 times more fascinating now than she was then! That sweet September day when we gathered the gentians by the pasture ditch —genltians no bluer than her own dear eyes!" he murmured, with a strange accession of sentimentality. "Ah! after all. age is but a relative term! And the fountain of perpetual youth is not so fabled as one might dream! Yet lovely as Leila is, she is no whit lovlier than is that sweet child, her'daughter, the pretty Louise! How fortunate that chance should have made UB neighbors!" Meantime, in the seclusion of her own bed chamber, Leila Carleton was standing before the mirror, removing the jewels which had flashed upon the filmy laces of her handsome dinner gown. "Oh, who would ever, ever expect a man to be faithful?" she asked herself, with bitterness, forgetting that she, too, had been somewhat inconstant during the long lapse of years. As the days went on, it was a sweet consolation to Adelbert Nye to have the sympathy of such a neighbor in his affliction—for so he regarded the possession of such a son, in spite of his effort to love the uncanny child and his care and Eolicltude for the boy's physical welfare. Leila understood, and had pity for him. But it was a source of regret that the child had conceived an instant antipathy toward the beautiful Louise, who found a rare pleasure in teasing the boy, amazing the young tyrant by declaring that what he needed for both physical and mental health was an unlimited dose of Solomon's prescription. To Welcome, who had never been thwarted or disciplined during his capricious life, this was the signal for hatred of the most malevolent sort; and the two waged warfare ac persistent as it was the nation's birthday approached, the early cottagers at the Pier joined with the townspeople in preparations to celebrate the day with fitting evidences of patriotism. There was to be an early morning parade of antiques and horribles, folio wed by a military demonstration, a parade of automobiles at noon and an old-fashioned afternoon picnic, with reading of the Declaration and pt>.riotic addresses, ending with an evening of fireworks. Such a busy season as it became for Welcome Nye! His father was to lead the automobile parade in his fine French racing machine and deep was Welcome's disgust and violent his ire when refused the privilege of accompanying him, more especially since that honor was to be accorded his arch-enemy, Louise Carleton. The Corsair, looking like a fairy vehicle in its floral adornment, stood In the open doorway of the Nye stables, only waiting the coming of its owner to start upon its triumphal progress. The household was busily engaged, for it was the lunch hour; all were anticipating the rare pleasure of the afternoon. Suddenly there was a dash, a bang, a warning'toot! toot! the odor and puff of gasolene, and out of the stable doorway and down the drive madly dashed a ewnibersome floral bulk. There was a cry of alarm, a rush from stable and household, hoarse warnings hurled after an adventurous and unheeding chauffeur. "The divvle! He's run away with the auto!" one groom called to another, and that one to the house servants. In truth it might have been his satanic majesty himself, the way that elfish child dashed down the drive and into the street. The anxious group followed him in mad haste, but not for long. They held their breath in horror as they saw the machine zig zag, then essay to climb the grassy terrace at the Carleton villa, inglorlously dropping back; and then, puffing and snorting, with whirring of wheels, dash backward across the road and over the offset, down-upon the rough cobb' «}s of the ^each. ki1ie child lay very still aa they rescued him, seeming to take his mishap as a matter of course. When they picked him up his left arm hung limp and there were sundry smudges and burned places upon his face; for the Corsair had taken fire, "The divvle! He's run away with the auto I" regrettable to their elders. It was natural that the sedate and dignified Lawyer Nye should find it both pleasant and convenient to be neighborly, and that he shculd make calls both frequent and regular at the Carleton villa. Particularly distasteful to one youth was the gallantry of Neighbor Nye; to the bank clerk with small salary, who devotedly came down from Boston each Saturday, to pay court to Louise. He did not appear well, this disappointed Archie Irwin, as he was presented to the dignified caller, whom he regarded with sudden hatred and dismay. What chance had he. he asked himself bitterly, against a man with Nye's money, and profession and position? Worst of all, Louise seemed pleased with the attentions of the middle- aged suitor. Another watched the growing interest of Adelbert Nye In the fair young girl, and tried in vain to ignore the heart-burnings Which it caused. And yet, ttfcy? Leila Carleton asked herself. Why should she expect the lover of her girlhood to remain the lover of her middle age? 8*» ta* la«e June, dayi l t d ; •** •*> and was no longer the dainty floral thing which it had been left as the triumph of womanly artistry. "Any other child would have beerf* killed!" was the verdict of the physician who had been summoned in hot haste—a familiar verdict enough to all' who knew Welcome Nye and his escapades. It was Archie Irwin who had tenderly lifted the little figure from under the wrecked machine, and to whom the child haM clung with passionate affection; but after the?Lhad taken him to the veranda of the villa lie had suddenly stretched out his uninjured arm to Mrs. Carleton, and had begun to sob and cry in a paroxysm which amazed them all, since repentance and Welcome were wont to be as bitter strangers. Leila Carleton tenderly folded the hapless child in her arms, his be* smudged face and tousled head nestling against the dainty whiteness of her gown, at she endeavored to soothe him, and to stilt the strange outburst which was ao distressing and so disconcerting to his unhappy father. .

"I'll be good," the child astonished them by declaring, "if only I get a new mamma!" Their eyes met In confusion. "I'm the only boy 'round here that ain't got no mamma," announced the' child, with cheerful impudence ajid disregard of grammar, "and I want one!" he persisted. "I want Mrs. Carleton!" "My boy, this Is the first good turn you have done your unfertunate father since your birth!" blurted out Adelbert Nye, with surprising alacrity. "You have but anticipated my own request!" and he smiled upon the boy most genially. "Now if only Mrs. Carleton consents " "But I thought " that lady began, in confusion. "Oh, I want you! I want you!" the elfin child persisted, tightening his arm desperately about her neck. "I'll be a good boy! I truly will!" The doctor was arranging his splints at the end of the veranda. Archie and Louise had joined the curious group on the opposite side of the street. It was an opportunity afforded them by Fate! "Leila," the dignified barrister began in a tender whisper, "the-child has but voiced my own thoughts! You know what you were to me once! For your dear sake I have learned to love your daughter as my own. She cares for young Irwin; I am in a way to help the boy along. For all our sakes, then, will you not consent?" "It seems but fair/' she responded slowly a^d calmly, although she felt that he must be aware of the mad beating of- her heart, "tcTexchange my daughter for your son!"

"Now let's Bee what a hero you're going to be!" ; But the child pushed him rudely - away, at the same time inquiring, in the imperious tone of one who had never known what it was to have hi* wishes gainsaid: "Is It all right, papa?" "That is for Mrs. Carleton to decide, my son! Is it all right, Mrs. Carleton?" he inquired lightly, yet. with unmistakable anxiety in his tone. Two little spots of red burned upon her cheeks, and she hesitated. 8u rely, never was so strange a proposal!

She would aowUAhorns, though she had to walk unshod; and her father's advice • moved ,her no more than a" breath moves a mountain. In the same after- *noon she saw Madame Jacobus* going to Doctor Moran'B, and the hour she remained there, was full of misery to her impetuous self-adoring heart. She was sure they were talking of Rem «nd herself; and as she had all their •conversation to imagine, she came to •conclusions in accord with her suspicions. But she met her aunt at the door *nd brought her eagerly into the parlor. She had no visitors that day, and was bored and restless and lopging for •conversation. "I saw you go to the Doctor's an hour ago, aunt," she said. -•"I hope the Captain is well." "Jacobus is quite well, thank God /and Doctor Moran—and Cornelia. I have been looking at some of her wedding gowns. A girl so happy, and who deserves to be so happy, I never saw. What a darling she is!" "It is now the fashion to rave about her. I suppose they found time enough to abuse poor Rem. And you could listen to them! I would not have done so! No! not if listening had meant salvation for the whole Moran family." "You are a remarkably foolish young woman. They never named Rem. people so happy do not remember the bringer of sorrow. He has been shut out—in the darkness and cold. I am ashamed of Rem. I can never forfgive him. He is a disgrace to the family. And that is why I came here to-day. I wish you to make Rem understand that he must not come near his Uncle Jacobus. When •Jacobus is angry he will call heaven and earth and hell to help him speak his mind, and I have nearly cured him o f a habit which is so distressing to 'me, and Buch a great wrong .to his own soul. The very sight of Rem would break every barrier down, and let a flood of words loose, that would make him suffer afterward. I will not have Jacobds led into such temptation. I have not heard an oath from him in six months." "I suppose you would never forgive Jacobus, if you 4id hear one?" "That is another matter. I hope I "Right wrongs no man." h»ve a heart to forgive whatever Jacobus does, or says—he is my hustxind." "It is then less wicked to blaspheme Almighty God than to keep one of Lord Hyde's love letters. One fault may be forgiven, the other is unpardonable.

"You look extremely handsome when you are scornful, Arenta; but It la not wor^h, while wasting your cJiarma on me* I am doing what T etv* to holy Jacobus to keep his tongue clean, and I will not have Rem lead hkn into temptation. As for Rem, he is guilty.of a great wrong, and he must now do what his father told him to do—work day and-nlgfctr as men wojrte wben^a bridge i«4«oken 4OWB. The ruin must be got out of the way, and the bridge rebuilt, then it wUl be possible to open some pleasant and profitable traffic with human beings again—not to speak of heaven." "You are right—not to speak of heaven. I think heaven would be more charitable. Rem will not trouble C&ptain Jacobus. For my part I think a man that cannot bear temptation Is very .poorly reformed. If my uncle could see Rem, and yet keep his big and little oaths under bonds, I should believe in his clean tongue." "Arenta, you are tormenting your- Belf with anger and ill-will, and above all with jealousy. In this way you are going to miss a great deal of pleasure. I advise you not to quarrel with Cornelia. She will be a great resource. This afternoon something Is vexing you. I shall take no offense. You will regret your bad temper to-morrow." To-morrow Arenta did regret; but people do not always say they are sorry, when they feel so. She sat in the shadow of her window curtains and watched almost constant streams of visitors, and messengers, and tradespeople at Doctor Moran's house, and she longed to have her hands among the lovely things and to give her opinion about the delightful events sure to make the next few weeks full of interest and pleasure. And after she had received a letter from Rem, she resolved to humble herself that she might be exalted. "Rem is already fortunate, and I can't help him by fighting his battle. Forgetfulness is the word. For this wrong can have no victory, and to be forgotten is the only hope for it. Beside Cornelia had her full share in my happiness, and I will not let myself be defrauded of my share in her happiness— cot for a few words—no! certainly not." This reflection a few times reiterated resulted in the following note: "My Dear Cornelia—I want to say so much, that I cannot say anything but—forgive me. I am shaken to pieces by my dreadful sufferings and sometimes I do not 'know what 1 say, even to those I love. Blame my sad fortune for my bad words, and tell me you long to forgive me, as I long to be forgiven. "Your "ARENTA." "That will be sufficient," she reflected, "and, after all, Cornelia is a sweet girl. I am her first and dearest friend, and I am determined to keep my place. Well, then, if I have to eat humble pie, I have had my say, and that takes the bitter taste out of my mouth—and a sensible woman must look to her future. I dare warrant Cornelia is now answering my letter. I dare warrant she will forgive me very sweetly." She spent half an hour in such reflections, and then Cornelia entered with a smiling face. She would not permit Arenta to say another word of regret; she stifled all her sfilfand Fihe turw of expectant pleasure' ati not t#o exh»uf ting- f or ani Coroalla, knowing h»r lo? e* was •very day coming nearer; and nearer. waejust M hafor as a girl taring and well beloved ought to be. Htr beauty had increased wonderfulfj; hope had more than renewed her youth, and confident love had given to her fate and form a splendor of color and expression, that captivate d everybody; though why, or how, they niver asked—she charmed, because she charmed. - One day the little bevy of feminine councillors looked at their work, and pronounced all beautiful, and all finished, and then there was a Kill in the busy household, and then every one was conscious of being a little weary, and every one also felt that it would be well to let heart, and brain, and lingers and feet rest. .In a few daya there would likely be another English letter, and they could then form some Idea as to when Lord Hyde would arrive. The last letter received from him had been written in London, and the ship in which he was to sail, was taking on her cargo, while he impatiently waited at his hotel for notice of her being ready to lift her anchor. The door flew open. The doctor thought it highly probable Hyde would follow this letter iif a week or perhaps less. During this restful interval Docto and Mrs. Moran drove out one afternoon to Hyde Manor House. A message from Madame Van Heemskirk asked this favor from them; she wished naturally that they should see how exquisitely beautiful and comfortable was the home which her Joris had trusted her to prepare for his bride. But she did not wish Cornelia to see it until the bridegroom himself took her across its threshold. "An old woman's fancy it is," she said to Mrs. Moran, "but no harm is there in it, and not much do I like women who bustle about their houses, and have ho fancies. at all." "Nor I," answered Mrs. Moran with a merry little laugh. "Do you know, that I told John to buy my wedding ring too wide, because I often heard my mother say that a tight wedding ring was unlucky." Then both women smiled, and began delightedly to look over together the stores of fine linen and damask, which the mother of Joris had laid up for her son's use. It was a charming visit and the sweet pause in the vivid life of the past few weeks was equally charming to Cornelia. She rested in her room till the short daylight ended; then she went to the parlor and drank a cup of tea, and closed thft_curtalns_and took her back with her to her own home. And no further repentance embarrassed Arenta. She put her ready wit and her clever hands to a score of belated things, and snubbed and contradicted the Van Dien and Sherman girls into a respectful obedience to her earlier friendship, and wider experience. Everything that •Bhe directed or took charge of, went with an unmistakable vigor to completion, ard even Madame Van Heemskirk was delighted with her ability and grateful for her assistance. "The poor Arenta!" she saW to Mrs. Moran; "very helpful she is to us, and for her brother's fault,she is not to blame. Wrong it would bi to visit it on her." And Arenta not only felt this gra* clous justice for herself, she looked much further forward, for she said to her father, "It is really for Rem's sake I am so obliging. By and by people will say 'there is no truth in that letter story. The Marquise is the friend of Lady Hyde; they are like clasped hands, and that could not be so, if Rem Van Aliens had done such a dreadful thing. It is all nonsense.' And if I hear a word about it, I shall know how to smile, and lift my shoulders and kill suspicion with contempt. Yes, for Rem's sake I have done the best thing." So happily the time went on, that it appeared wonderful when Christmas was close at hand. Every preparation was then complete. It was a very joy to go Into the. Moran house. The mother, with a happy light upon her. face, went to and fro with that habitual serenity, which kept the temperasat down by the hearth to wait for her father and mother. So still was the house, so still was the little street, that she easily went to the land of reverie and lost herself there. She thought over again all her life with her lover; recalled his sweet spirit, his loyal affection, his handsome face and enchanting manner. "Heaven has made me so fortunate," she thought, "and now my fortune has arrived at my wishes. Even his delay is sweet. I desire to think of him, until all other thoughts are forgotten! Oh. what lover could be loved as I love him!" Then with a soft but quick movement the door flew open, she lifted her eyes, to fill Jhem with love's very image and vesture, and with a cry of joy flew to meet the bliss so long afar, but now so near. "0 lovely and beloved! O my love!" Hyde cried, and then there was a twofold silence; the very ecstasy that no mortal words can utter. The sacred hour for which all their lives had longed, was at last dropped down to them from heaven. Between their kisses they spoke of things remembered and of things to be, leaning to each other in visible sweetness, while "Love breathed In slRhs nml silences Through two blent »ou1», one rupturouj undersong." (The End.) Tfc* R1«*r of President Roosevelt had sent a letter to Atty^Qen. Knox regarding the postal investigation, In which he says: "As a result of this investigation, a number of indictments have already been had and it is probable that other indictments will hereafter be asked for. There can be no greater offense against the government than a breach of trust on the part of a public official, or t h e dishonest management of his office, and, of course, every effort must be -exerted to bring such offenders to punishment by the utmost rigor of the law. > )*-i<«-'# "The district attorney's office of the Dtstrict of Columbia has faithfully and zealously seconded uxe efforts of the postofflcc department in this matter, but the amount of work in the office is such as to make it difficult, without neglecting other important public duties, to devote all the time necessary to the prosecution of these cases. I suggest, therefore, that if you cannot detail some of your present staff, you appoint special assistants in these postoffice cases, not only to take up the cases in which indictments have been found or hereafter may be found, but to examine into all charges that have been made against officials in the postal service, with a view to the removal and prosecution of guilty men whether in the service or not, where the cases are not barred by the statute of limitations." Carrying out the president's suggestion, Atty.-Gen. Knox has appointed Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, a special attorney to assist in these prosecutions, and upon his return here this afternoon Holmes Conrad, former solicitor-general, will be tendered a like appointment. Twenty-One Indicted. Twenty-one men have thus far been Indicted for participation in the crime of peonage in Alabama. Twenty of this number have been arrested and released on bail. District Attorney Reese has subdivided the Indicted men according to the parts they played in eonncctiou with the enslaving of negrofjk. Five of them are land owners Feel toe Uam*m F< In the United States court in Montgomery, Ala., J. W. Pace, a prominent planter of Tallahooea county, was arraigned for trial on eleven Indictmeats charging him with peonage. Demurrers were filed in all the cases which were Overruled andf Pace then pleaded guilty in all the cases and appealed to the circuit court of appeals at New Orleans, giving bond la the sum of $5,000. The sentence of the court was five years' imprisonment In each case, to be served concurrently. In the United States court in Macon, Ga., Judge Emory Speer imposed a fine of $1,000 each on three young men, William Shy, Arthur Clawson and Robert Turner, for holding a Negro iu involuntary servitude. He suspended the fine under conditions, and in so doing he said: "In view of the fact that it is the first crime of the kind which has ever occurred in Georgia, sad because of the frank confession of the young men, sentence is imposed In order to con-i vlnce the public that the purpose of the court is to warn and deter others from like crime. During good behavior the fine i.s suspended upon payment of $100 by each." The offense was that the young men, who are prominent farmers, caught a Negro who was in debt to them, gave him a whipping and umde him go to work for them. Bnrned at the Stake. Urged to the horrible deed by a mlnister of the gospel and angered by the refusal of a judge to hold a specl.il session of court to try George White, a negro, for the ravishment and murder of 17-year-old Helen Bishop, a mob of 5,000 people, after being twice repulsed, broke into the Wilmington.

The little degenerate, who seemingly has no conception of right or wrong, stated without a sigh of regret, that she. expected them to die. She had no reason for wishing the death of her benefactors other than to see then suffer. The child has none of the features of a degenerate other than a low, retreating fcivluwd.

A serpent will go for weeks, sometimes even for months, without feeding. Then it may take three rabbits^r ducks, euc after the other, at n single meal* and afterward become torpid while digestion proceeds. When, aftor a sufficient period of fasting, it gets* disposed t* eat and a rabbit happans*to be introduced into its ca£e, it ' may plainly be--seen that j&e rabbits presenee is quickly noticed by it. The snake will begin to move slowly about till it has brought its snout opposite the rabbit's muzzle.' Then, in an instant, it will seize the rabbit's head in itg mouth, simultaneously colling its powerful body around it and crushing it to death at once. The action is so instantaneous that it Is impossible for the rabbit to suffer. Certainly it, can suffer no more than when killed by a poulterer.,-The snake does not immediately uncoil its folds, but continues for a time to hold its victim tightly embraced, sometimes rocking itself gently to and fro. Then it slowly unwinds its huge body and once more takes the rabbit's head in Its mouth and swallows it. Died at her home in the village of Pinckney Jane 23rd. Mrs. R. C. Jefferys aged 78yrs.

It was one Tuesday in the city of London, in the early part of the last 'Celittiry,' and the large dining-room of the Mitre tavern was full of hungry men sitting in boxes and giving hoarse nsjtas to. their wants. The beet-pet foamed at their elbows as they ate with a will. They bore the true aspect *of the children of the deep; you would bave known them when%they hove in sight a mile off by their clothes and •cut. Jenkinson went about nodding to this man and to that, calling deep pitched answers in response to friendly greetings. He stopped at a box at whose table sat one figure only. This was a captain in the merchant service named Pope, a fine, tail man of very coble build. He had a merry eye with something careless and cruel in its glance and light; an Irish eye blue and area. But tc-day the face that overhung his plate, chewing steadily, with Jenkinson staring at him, was a long cme. "Well, Captain," said Jenkinson, "have you got a ship yet?" "Don't talk of it," cried Captain Pope with passion. "The pavements are full of helpless idlers. They wander -starving and forlorn." Jenkinson smiled sarcastically. • ''Don't tell me," he said. "There are always plenty, of ships, ancrSarhere there are ships there is demand anc room for good men." The other shrugged his shoulders and bit his food with anger. Just then a middle-sized man came to the entrance of the box, and Jenkinson stood up. "How d'ye do, Captain Crystal? What are your commands?" Crystal named his joint, and seated himself •opposite Captain Pope, and Jenkinson -went away. This Crystal was a very rugged- "I he-:d it. Piracy!'' said Captain Cry ati \ "He ^ot men under the pretense that he was bound out on some liberal undertaking—it was a story of treasure, I fancy—and went away •. down Channel. His game was suspected and he was followed.out of one of the reaches by a government cutter. They exchanged shots, and the pirate brought the cutter's mast down. Jackman in the Channel brings his men aft and tells them the truth. He is going for a pirate, he says. The men heard him. In time they came abreast of some caves which Jackman had purchased down on the extreme west ccast, and he and his father-in-law and Mrs. Jackman went ashore. When Jackman returned to his ship, the men seized him, swearing they were not going to be hanged for pirates, ana they locked this Jackman up in his cabin, and carried the brig to the Thames and handed her over* Jackmac sprang through the cabin window and was drowned. He did well. He was a ruined man and a felon." 'The biggest fool," said Captain -Crystal, "that ever took charge of men. Only think of shipping a crew on representations of honesty, to tell them, before thev were out of sight of Execution Dock, that the brig's colors were the black flag. "I have a mind to view this brig," said Pope. "We require a permit from the owner, and that is one reason why I am calling on him. Come with me and view the brig, Crystal. "Right." said the square-shaped seaman; "and if you have the cash for the purchase of her stowed away in some old stocking in an inshore chimney, I'm your man as first mate." They entered the shop of a nautical instrument maker. Mr. Staunton, the owner of the brig, dwelt over this shop. "This is your notice, I suppose?" said Captain Pope, pulling out the " I heard it. Piracy!" looking man of about forty-five years >aC age. He showed a cutlass scar over iiis nose, and it fixed the expression of a surly frown upon his face. He was very broad, as powerfully built as Pope, dressed in sailor's worn clothes; but as in Pope, so in this man, there was wickedness in his looks. Captain Pope closed his knife and fork and watched the other for some minutes in silence. Then he got up and looked over into the box on either hand, then sat a little closer opposite Crystal, and said, "This is the advertisement I was telling you about." He read in a low voice as follows: "Brig Gypsy—This beautiful and admirable clipper ship having been condemned by the Admiralty, has been purchased by a private gentleman, who has laid out a considerable sum of money in completing her equipment. She is now for sale, and may be had at a very great bargain. Parties disposed to purchase her will apply to ftfr. Staunton in the MInories." "It's the strangest matter that ever I heard of," said Captain Pope, speaking with a cautious face. "A man had .a father who left him a brig and a trifle in cash. Jackman was his name. He got command, but it was plain the »ea didn't satisfy him. He came ashore with a bag of fifteen hundred pounds, and pretended to have been Knocked down and robbed. There is no doubt he stole the money. The vowners did not seem able to prove anything, and the next traverse this tnan Jackmaf set cut to work was the painting and equipping of his brig, Sm*d the preparing her for1 Boa as a— mbat d'yer eay?' paper, and putting his hand upon the advertisement. "What's your price?" "Not a penny less than six hundred pounds," replied the money-lender. "Have you seen her?" "No," answered Pope, with a gloomy grin, "we're here to ask for leave to"look at her." Mr. Staunton quickly and eagerly began to write, talking meanwhile. His writing was soon ended. "Show this, gentlemen," said he, "to my shipkeeper, and I hope you'll lose no time in taking the vessel off my hands." "We'll view her," said Pope, pocketing the permit. The two sailors went toward London Bridge. . A hoy was proceeding from London Bridge down the river, and tfie two captains bonrded her for Deptford. There they landed, and took oars, as the expression then vjas, for a brig with the topgallant mast housed, lying In the stream within a convenient pull. "She appears in »erygood condition," said Pope, directing searching looks about him, and letting his eyes rest aloft. I'll give her royal stun'sails and by the saints, there shaJi be nothing afloat she shan't be able to overhaul." "Oh, ho!" muttered Crystal. "So that's the lay." "* He looked at Pope and burst inta a horse laugh. "Tis a pity, though," says he, "that there should be a difficulty of six hundred pounds in the way." "How am I to get this ship?" said Captain Pope, standing on stretched legs. He spoko in soliloquy. His companion seemed not to heed, merely eyed him askant, and then ' after1 whistling softly for a bit while he reflected, he esti: '*! rarer ward of a stip stolen cut of the river Thames la. my lite." "There' WEB the Dorothy," said Pope swiftly; "axd there was the Arethusa, a small West-Indiaman; in each case a company of men entered, gagged and pinioned the ship-keeper, softly'let go toe fasts and slipped away on the stream without a bail from shore or water. Both those vessels were lost to their owners; what became of them I don't know." "It was a midnight job" said,"Crystal, And then both men trent on deck and entered the forecastle, examined the caboose, lifted, the main hatch and looked at the guns in tjhe hold; next, hailing their boat, the two captains went ashore. : Pope had asked Crystal to sup with bjm, and the rugged seaman bad consented. It was a dismal street. The Captain seemed struck. He paused grasping Crystal's arm. "What sort of lite can that be?" said he, "that lands a man in this sort of thing? Yet, so help me f*od," he cried with Irish emphasis, "a£ter using the sea since I wrs a lad of fifteen, I can do no better than this first floor at seven shillings a week." "It's a dirty part of London," said Crystal, scowling up and down the street. "Why didn't you keep near the docks. Five shillings hires me a room and a clean turn-up bedstead just out of the Commercial Road." Captain Pope pulled the bell of the house. The door was opened after a considerable passage of waiting—during which Pope continued to curse the sea as the most poverty-stricken of callings—by a dirty little servant whoseemed a compound of flue and blacklead. The Captain pushed in. They refreshed themselves in a dingy little bedroom, adjoining the parlor. There was a handsome sea-chest here, and a sparkling long telescope. "That's what it's come to," said Pope, pointing to these things. "I, Captain Pope, and as good and careful a mariner as any as sails out of the ports of this kingdom, cannot get a ship." "There are scores of us," said Crystal, drying his face. "My money sinks and the ships depart, and I return to my dirty little lodging sick with cursing the times t have fallen on.' "And disappointment and poverty don't raise hell and the pirate in your heart, hey?" cried Pope, staring with a wild stormy look into the other's dark face. "How do you know that it don't?" answered Crystal, picking up a hair brush. "I'd rob a church. I bave no honesty left. I .mean to set up as a villain, #nd you shall help me make a fortune for us both, Crystal." "You're not thinking of the highway are ye, Pope?" "Ay, the highway that reflects the canvas of rich keel;. But step into the next room." He pulled out a gold watch. "I'll tell you what's in my mind, and we can debate it ove* a pipe after we've supped." < • * * • GHOST turr m a w * * * .

"I'll be beforehand with thee the; far; it's piracy or you shall choke me." Captain Pope's <»ss gleamed. "Piracy it is; the most gallant of trades. If I had my way I would not choose a brig. She should be the swiftest schooner that ever sailed out of an American port, coppered to the bends, with buttons of trucks melting to the stars^- _.__ _ , ^ He laughed, rubbing his hands in a glowing way. Crystal said, "High enough. But you are a broken man. How, unless you run away with her, are you to come at a brig or a schooner, swift or slow?" "If you want to go upstairs," exclaimed Pope, "you take one step at a time. Some take two, and those are the fools. How much money have you got, Crystal?" "So help me as I sit," cried the square, rugged seaman, half starting out of his chair, with his eyes all in a heat at once, "I cannot muster four guineas in this accursed world of toll and want." He tore a few coins out of his pocket and dashed them in a small handful upon the table. Pope, folding his arms, leaned back on the sofa and eyed the money with mingled, sorrow and disdain; then after a pause he exclaimed: "Put that coin up, Crystal, and cease ter fret. I can muster eighty pounds and a gold watch, and trifles"—here he heaved a deep sigh—"which might be worth thirty pounds more to me. With this capital I mean to go to work." (To be continued.)

We have learned in the past few years to regard Minister de Wltte of Russia as one of the greatest financial administrators in the world. Yet every book on Russia gives fresh evidence of mismanagement on the part of the government in the details of business. Wirt Gerrare's "Greater Russia, the Continental Empire of the World," .illustrates the Russian way of doing things by this account of the postoffice service : At the chief postoflBces in St. Petersburg and in Moscow there is only one clerk selling stamps. He closes his office at 2 o'clock. He cannot reckon charge without a countiBG board. There are about half a dozen branch oiTlces in these capitals, but stamps are as rare as a postal order in a country store in an American village. At one branch postoffice in Moscow the letter box was full to overflowing when Mr. Gerrare called. He took his letters inside, but the clerk in charge declined to accept them. "But the letter box is full." 'Find a letter box which Is not full." replied the clerk. "That will be difficult."

"I tried many things with no auccess, till I saw one of Dodd's Almanacs, and read of what Dodu's Kidney Pills were doing for old people. "I bought two boxes from our druggist and began to use them at once. In a very short time I was well. This is over a year ago, and my trouble has not returned, so that I know my cure was a good, genuine, permanent one. "I believe Dodd's Kidney Pills are a splendid medicine for old people or anyone suffering with Kidney and urinary troubles, for although I am 84 years of age, they have made me well."

How little is knowledge, how limited thought! How helpless and puny a w we! We think what we hear and believe as we're taught, But learning and science seem little or naught In the solving of life's mystery, Confronted by marvels on sea and on plain, And In words that above us revolve, Our much-vaunted reason mny try to explain, But only to find all our efforts in vail Creation's great problems to eolve. We study the planets and think we are wise, We measure the orSITsTtrey-traeei— We weigh the bright stars and can reckon their size, But none can determine the height of the skies Or measure the Infinite space. All things that arc born in their grave are soon laJd; Time seems to the living a foe; We wonder why anything ever was made If only to bud, and to blossom, and fade Or vanish like fast-melting snow. There are those who live long with honor and fame And some in their infancy die, And some have to struggle with sorrow and shame— We wonder why all of us are not the same: .The wisest can never tell why. We turn to our reason to settle a rloubt, Yet know not what reason my be; Its substance and form we know nothing about, The cause of Its being we cannot And out, bo dull and so foolish are we. There seems no foundation where reason may stand In realms where no mortal has trod; Infinity mocks us on every hand, Our learning and logic are ropes made of sand; There's nothing to rest in but God. —Frank Beard in Ram's Horn.

Of the various places used by the ancients in which to deposit their dead V'the rude stone chamber known as a :cromlech was probably the most often adopted for any burial other than the very common ones. The picture shown is an accurate one of a cromlech which was discovered in a barrow near Paradis, on the Island of Guernsey. On digging into the mound the large flat top, 'or cap-stone, of the tomb was discovered, and when this was removed the upper part of two human skulls was exposed to view. The chamber was filled up with earth, and as'this was gradually removed. exposing the bones of the entire figures, the. latter were found to be in a good state of preservation. The teeth and jaws denoted that they were the skeletons of adults, but not of old men. A singular feature in connection, and one unexplained, is the fact that the bodies had been so placed at burial that one faced north and the other south. Possibly they were prisoners or slaves, wjio were slain—perhaps buried alive—at the funeral of 'some great tribal chieftain or great person whose body was placed in the large chamber near by. House Over Two Centuries Old. Workmen have been kept busy throughout the spring months on the Wingohocking meadow, surrounding the "Rock house," the "Shoemaker house," or the "Hendrick's house," as the historic building is variously called, which is built on the huge rock at Wingohocking station, near Philadelphia. This rock is famous for being the pulpit, or the "preacher's rock** used by William Penn in prerevolntionary days. In the famous old meadow through which, untH recent years, the, beautiful Wingohocking creek flowed, and in which during the revolutionary war some of the BritiBh cavalry had their encamp; lent, there are now huge flower beds atfd clumps of hardy flowering shrubbery, all underbrush has been cut from the stretch of woods on the hillside above the meadow and the trees are triram *d 2»T QLAXXXfOGE to let in the sunlight, mailing it possible to grow a smooth, rich slope of velvety grass. There is renewed interest in the historic house Since Oermantown residents, have been attracted to the spot because of the improvements.

It is not known exactly when the house was built, although it Is stated on go/jd authority that ft was previous to 1691, Some historians declare that it was built by Shoemaker in, 1690, others are equally confident that it was built by Gerhard Hendricks Ju 1681 King Invites Americans.

The physician, however, who has not had experience may fall into the error of diagnosing grave diseases of the female system when they do not exist* because disorders of the bowels may be neglected until they give many of the appearances of female disease. The bowels have been known to become so clogged with hardened contents as to produce a condition closely resembling uterine displacement, uterine prolapse (falling of the womb) and the sick headache which is often attributed to female diseases is most often actually due to" some" trouble in the digestive machinery involving the liver, stomach, bowels or the great "Solar Plexus, " which is the central telegraph station from which nervous messages are transmitted to and from all the organs in the abdominal cavity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin (A Laxative) quickly corrects the congested conditions referred to above, headache, constipation, sallow complexions disappear and the glow of health is upon you. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has done more to relieve suffering women than any preparation ever sold in the same length of time it has been sold—about ten years.

E D I T O U D I S P A T C H : As we decided that we had seen the most interesting parts of t h e Great N o r t h West, we concluded to c h a n g e our coarse southward to t h e land of fruit, flowers a n d suushiue—California. Leaving Seattle at 2 p. m. J u n e 17th. Via the Pacific Coast steam ship Co's. magnifioient ship, "Valencia," we arrived at P o r t Townsend after a few hours view of the most magniticint scenery along the shores of the pugit sound. After half an hours stop over, we again set sail for the beautiful city of Victoria, which is located on the island of Vancover. Shortly after leaving P o r t Towusend all passengers were examined by a British quarrentine Officer before entering their possessions. Ariving at Victoria at 10 p. ni. and leaving a t 12:15 gave us a grand opportunity to view this beautiful city of 22,000 inhabitants. After leaving Victoria we turned westward through the strait of J u a n De Fuca and when we rose t h e next morning we see cape Flattery, the most northerly point in the state of Washington. After passing cape Flattery the long swells of tfte Pacific became violent aud all passengers turned toward the rail ourselves included. And we were up a^ains the reft1 thing for t h e next twenty-four hours. On Friday morning the people began to enjoy their meals and became very sociable. Sitting on the the deck Friday p. m. we saw and counted over 50 whales in a short distance from t h e boat. Land after leaving Flattery, was nowhere in sight until we passed Cape Blanco, t h e most western point of Oregon. Our first sight of the California shore was point Reyes on which there was located a beautiful Government L i g h t house. Three hours after passing this point we came in sight of t h e Cliff House and Sial Rocks which are located on t h e shores of the Golden Gate, the entrance of San Francisco Bay. T h e shores of the Golden Gate contain t h e strongest fortifications of the U. S. T h e electrical effects of Oakland and San Francisco as we entered t h e bay were beautiful and sightly. 10 p. m. Sunday we left the steamer aud in five minutes were landed at t h e Palace Hotel. Hoping these few lines will be of interest to t h e readers who have never witnessed the same we will close for this time, aud when in the near future give you an interesting sketch of what we saw in our trip through China Town. •i'. ;. - v i I. .: ;i uiii. ..:.v *',,.

Foley's Honey and T&t cures coMs, prevents pneumonia* <« A Tale of Two Cities" Leaving Detroit at 4 in the afternoon, aboard the palatial steamer "Eastern States" or "Western States" of the famous Detroit k Buffalo Line, passengers are afforded an interesting and panoramic view of Detroit's harbor, teeming with the commerce ol the Great Lakes, and bordered with its countless evidence- of manufacturing wealth and activity. Passing down the river, Fott Wayne appears, bristling with its war like aspects, and crowned with "old glory" gently curling in the breeze, seemingly waving adieus to passing travelers. Again, we are among scenes of simple country life—beautiful farms and artistic rural homes dotting the banks on either »ide and the ve*dant islands raid-stream—aad, as we float peacefully out upon the bosom of "old Erie" one feels that the cares of life have lagged behind. Now the varying course of the ship from time to time brings to view the silvery moon and its rippling reflections in the vessel's wake, while'the strains of some dre imy waltz enchantingly rendered, soothes the ear, and cool, invigorating breezes fan the brow as the traveler is borne along, almost regretting that nature demands its •sweet repose. ft is sunrise and we are soon to end oar journey. As we pass the breakwaiter the harbor seems stretching out to welcome our noble vessel, and the tourist, to Buffalo'* Inspitable environs. Once again we are among scaneg of activity, but so refreshed that our journey seems like a fairy's legend. Bring your Job Work to this office.

CO. 17* FAJtt STWIT MAWON, IND A Trfoon Tragedy [Copyright, 1908. by C. B. Lewis.] One of the many prisoners received a t the Alton penitentiary when I was deputy warden was a man named Horton. He was editor and proprietor of a weekly paper. He 'was a pretty ttrong writer and made many enemies. The article which led to its author's imprisonment was a live line squib rldicuHng a local doctor. The doctor called to demand a retraatlon,* a fight ensued, and the editor had the misfortune to kill his man. He was sentenced to be hanged, but the governor commute* it to imprisonment for life. When Horton reached the prison, he was made librarian to the prison library. After a year or, so Horton's wife got a divorce, his friends ceased to call, and he was virtually,dead to*the world. There was living in the town in which the prison was situated a young lady named Calhoan. She used to come in every Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with papers or other things for the prisoners, and sometimes she bad company and sometimes not Saturday afternoon "was a holiday with, the prisoners—that is, all were locked up in thoir cells after the noonday meal and could read, -tfrtte or sleep. This order did not include the librarian and pertain other "trustiea" One Saturday afternoon Miss Calhoun was an hour late. It was. in April, and the day **s dark and foggy. The order was to pass her in and out without question.) At' 7 o'clock in the evening some of her friends called at the prison to say'that she had not returned kome. The country areund ftbe prison was searched' all night- long, and soon' after daylight the mystery was solved. fcThe de%d body of the girl was fo.ur/d in the prison yapd^ On the second floor' dt a storehouse lay the half naked'body, while hat, dress, skirts and' wrap 'were in a heap beside it. About eight months after the murder, when Horton had been with us for three years and fouE months, he made his escape by means of a« tubriel which he had been over two yeara digging. It be'gan in a clothes closet oCf the library and ended ninety-three feet away outside the prison, walls. ^VJhat wa^s done had to be accomplished between 7 a. m.- and 6 p. m. Horton couTd not bar any one out of the library, nor* could he tell what minute some one would enter. No convict ever worked for sllberty with such odds ^gainst Kihi: He simply took the one chance 1» a thousand. You will want-to know how I learned of certain things. A year after, Horton's escape we heard of him ra Montana. He had joinod a smaM band of trappers and hunters and was living among ttie mounta-ins. After he had been located it was decided that I should be sent out to -attempt his capture. When I reached Granatin, I learned that Horton's party was in the mountains to the north and enlisted two men in the search for him. We were on the trail of the hunters for^a month before we found theon. One evening we rode into their camp prepared to capture or kill the fugitive murderer, but he was not there. I w o days before he had started, out alone to inspect* some traps and had not rer turned. The rest,of the party, numbering six, had been out lookin'g for h[m on the day of our arrival, but had ; found no trace. The search was resumed next day, and along in the afternoon we found him. He had fallen over a cliff and landed on a shelf about forty feet below. His fall had been broken b,y a bush, but he had been severely injured and was a-lmost dead ! when we got him up. He had broken a leg and ai/arru. and as there was no show to get a doctor we knew that death must soon end his sufferings. During the last day of his life Horton was not only conscious, but talkative ; and free from pain. He insisted on telling me all about the tunnel business, and of course I was interested in. the details. I plainly told him that I had suspected him from the hour of finding Miss Calhoun's body and that, figure it out as I might no one else had the opportunity that he had. He did not answer me for several minutes and then quietly said: j "I will give yon, my idea of that af- ' fair, though- of course it may be all ; wroug. When Miss Calhoun and I 1 separated, she started for the exit^and I for the library. There were several i 'trusties' about, and no doubt Qne of them spoke to her, and she may have turned aside. It was a dark, foggy day, you remember, and the man might have clutched her by the throat'to prevent an alarm and carried her to the storehouse. He took great risks, but was not discovered. I have always felt much grieved over the fate of that poor girl." • ••» • i g f l g ^ ^ 4 ^ .-:-¾ , 1 • " ^ k a t S ^ t . l v e d o y011 think-the murderer had ?" I asked.

THE VILLAGE DIRECTORY, The NewV st 1B Ctlistsit sttcMfc From the aiusii Tiade Review, J o n * * 18,1908. v The Colombia Phonograph Co. have just iss ued a new list ol tdditione to their catalogue of records, both cylindrical and disc. It- contains all the latest '•bite1' in the instrumental music and vocal field. They are also calling attention to a new series of high class records, which will include classical selections of vocal and instrumental music and talking records I y artists of reputation. They have ready solos and duets in german by iiia Weber and Sigmund Kunsfadt. In these reproductions. Franlein Werber's pare soprano tones are heard to great advantage, and all the wonderful sympathy of Herr Kunstadts voice is faithfully preserved. They also have several violin solos by J. Kocian, the celebrated virtuoso. The sustained tones of a stringed instnrment aie peculiarly suitable for Graphophone reproductions and the beautiful singing quality ot Mr. Kocian'a records in characteristic. The French songs by Maurice Declery, of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, are fine examples of artistic interpretation and show3tbe results of long operatic training. Kobert Vanni, in his Italian songs, appeals to lovers of the old school who appreciate melodic ornamentation, and his clear tenor voice is reproduced with scrupulous fidelity. The talking records include reprouctions of some ot the lines ot Rip Van Winkle, by Joseph Jefferson, senior. The humors scene in the mountains, where Rip encounters one of Heinrich Hudson's men is constrasted with the patchetic meeting with daughter after twenty years absence. These records, aside from their dramatic merit, are valuable as souvenirs of this great "actor, and doabtless' will be in great demand. tee Minute Cough Gm»a * « * Caught), Cold* aad Croup* VILLAGE OFFICERS.

The exact date and exact circumstances of such things are always of vital interest to an agricultural community. It was a match that pleased both families, as Tom was a fine young farmer, and Bessie a smart girl of nineteen, who' could have hed the pick of half a dozen. The marriage was not to takeplaco for a year, and the course of true love ran smooth until December. Then Bessie T*yk>r suddenly exercised the prerogative of her sex. Tom v/as too snre of her, and he must be made to understand that his bird was not yet caged. There was to be a spelling bee at t h e red school house. He and Bessie would go, of course. As both of fhem were accounted among the best spellers in the community, it was probable that they might be asked to choose sides. It was unfortunate for Tom that he forgot to say that he would drive up to Taylor's at a certain hour for Bessie. He meant to, and ho had no •doubt that she would be ready, but the matter slipped his mind, and when the evening finally arrived, he got out •of his cutter at the door, only to be told that Bessie had been gone half an hour. More than that, she had gone with a windmill man who was canvassing the neighborhood and stopping at her father's house. Tom Dixon was stunned. Here was coquetry, treachery, deceit. It didn't occur to him that Bessie felt piqued over his neglect and wanted to "get even" in the only way open to her. Neither could he know that she had told the windmill man that her old l>eau would probably escort her home. He gasped—he muttered—he swore. T h e n he got into his cutter and put t h e whip to his horse and sent the animal over two miles of smooth road on .» dead run. His first idea was to kill that windmill man on sight, his second was to kill the pair of deceivers, his third was to blow his own brains out and •die the death of a martyr. Then he happened to get a fourth idea, and he adopted it and stuck to it. He entered the schoolhouse with his jaw set and a firm resolve to make a Tommie walked straight up to the , heme I lest girt. certain person repent in sackcloth and ashes. Bessie Tayjpr was there, but he taw her not. The windmill man waa there, but he was too insignificant for a second glance. T h e homliest girl for six miles around was there, having hired her brother to bring her, and Tom walked straight, up to her, and began to laugh and giggle and natter. Worse was soon to come. It happened tnat he was chosen to lead one side, wtifle Bessie was not. Everyone looked to see him call her name as first on his side, but he overlooked her entirely. It was the homeliest girl who was called, although It was known that she would eo down and out on the first three-syllabled word. When only he and Bessie remained on their feet the climax of his mean* ness came. When they got among the hard words he stood and glared across at her as If he had never seen her "Oh, T o m ! " she exclaimed. before, and, in her confusion, she blundered and left him victor. Next day it was known far and wide that Tom Dixon and Bessie Taylor were "out" and, though several parties volunteered their services as peacemakers, the gulf could not be bridged. The couple were brought together at a candy-pull and apple-bee and a second spelling school, but they held aloof from each other and resorted to sarcasm. The old folks on both sides tried their hands, but the result was the same, and it finally came to be understood that the match was off for good. Time wore on and the month of March came in. Mr. Dixon had 200 sugar maples in his woods, and there was sugar making every spring. On the night of the fifth he gave a "sugar-off" party to half a dozen young fellows and their girls, and, of course, Bessie heard of it. Tom heard that she heard of it, and also that she said she never could see any romance in trailing about the wet woods and eating maple wax off a chip, and so he repeated the performance a week later. This time she had r o remarKs to make, and he felicitated himself that he had made her feel real bad. Three or four days after his second party Mrs. Taylor said to her daughter: "Bessie, I've got a great yearning for a taste of new maple sugar, and if it wasn't for my sore heel, I'd go over to Dixon's bush and ask Tom for some." "And what a goose you'd make of yourself," snapped Bessie. "Weil, I durino. There's worse fellers than Tom Dixon. I've never been mad at him." "But you ought to be. You should not stand up for any one who has acted as mean as he has." "No, mebbe not, but perhaps you were a little bit to blame. I'd like some new maple sugar, as I was saying, and next to that I'd like two or three leeks to eat with bread and butter. The leeks must be coming up in the woods now, and I can fairly taste 'em. If father wasn't so busy to-day, I'd have him go down in the woods and look for some." Bessie made no reply, but an hour later, when the mother happened to look out of the kitchen window and •saw her climbing the pasture fence and making for the woods, she sa\d to herself: ^ "Our woods and the Dixon's woods Join and if leeks and maple sugar* doa'tjg* ^tofwMret » wo»t be my fmatitr ••<>>•' ' » - » >' * ». •* Betele reached the home woods and began to look for leeks. Hera sad there one was beginning to sprout, but she passed them by and went further. t Bafcand by she came to the Us* feaee dividing the farms. The leeks on the other side looked bigger, and, after a long look between the rail*, she climbed over. Yes, the leeks were bigger. She had pulled three or four and. was still wandering along, when she passed a brush heap and a rabbit ran out with a great rustle. Naturally, she screamed. The rustle of the rabbit was follow* ed by the hoot of a n owl, and naturally the girl screamed again. She beard the sound of footsteps near at hand, and was about to scream for the third time, when she heard the words: "Miss Taylor, do not be afraid." It was Tom Dixon, with two pails of sap suspended from the neck-yoke on his shoulders. In her hunt for leeks she had wandered into the Dixon sugar bush. "Oh, Tom!" she exclaimed, as* she turned to face him. "You mean the windmill man." "I do not—I mean—I mean—well, you ought to have asked me to go to spelling school with you." "But you had better company." "So did you." "Miss Taylor!" "Mr. Dixon J" It was just growing dusk when Tom and Bessie reached Taylor's. Tom had a handful of leeks and Bessie had a big maple chip, with a big lump of sugar wax on it. •Why, Tom, is this you?" exclaimed Mrs. Taylor, as the pair walked in. "Yes, aunt Sal," he replied, "and here's the leeks and maple sugar and Beasie, and—and—" "Well, I never, never did see," she remarked, as she turned from her work of peeling potatoes to give Tom a hug and Bessie a kiss.—Cyrus J ?rickson in Boston Globe.

Marcel Provost. M. Prevost had made free use of Mdlle. Thouret's private letters in one of his romances. "Why shoot at him, my deaf?" wrote Mme. Tinayre. "You did not hit him and Paris now laughs at you. Now If you had printed his letters Paris would have laughed at him." Two Lawyers' Tales. Justice Gaynor of the Supreme court of New York has a reputation for dry sayings not altogether devoid of humor, and two which are going the rounds among lawyers are these: A petition for an injunction, based upon somewhat doubtful assertions of fact, recently came before the justice. After considering the affidavit of the petitioner, he remarked: "In this case an injunction will not lie, even if the relator does." Under circumstances somewhat similar, an attorney sought to discredit statements contained in an affidavit. "But counsel should remember," observed Judge Gaynor, "that the truth sometimes will out, even in an affidavit."— New York Times. Land of Feuds.

IOWA REPUBLICAJIS. Stat* Cmmrrmttqm KeaotataatM C mtM—AUIUoa** T a r t * Plaak. The Iowa Republican State Convention assembled in Des Moines. la., Tuesday and completed its work Wednesday. The ticket nomiuated follows: A. B. Cmumlns, of Polk, for governor; John HerrlotL of Adair, for lieutenant-governor; .Chaples A. Bishop, of Folk, for judge of the supreme court; D. Jv Palmer, of Washington, for railroad commissioner, alt of whom are at present serving their first term. The platform congratulates the nation on the present1 era of prosperity, commends the administration of Gov. Cummins, rejoices in Iowa's leaderwhip in national affairs, favors good roads legislation, indorses the Louisiaua Purchase commission, and says: "We commend entirely and without reservation the administration of President Roosevelt. Called as he was to the office of chief executive under ths most trying circumstances, his fidelity to *he public welfare, the wisdom and moderation of his utterances and counsel, and the painstaking zeal which he brings to the performance or all his duties, command our respect and admiration. "Iowa Republicans, In common with the Republicans of the entire nation, expect and desire hi* unanimous nomination as his own successor." Senator Allison's tariff-trust plank is as follows: We reiterate our faith in the historicprinciple of protection. Under its lnfluence our country, foremost in the bounties of nature, has become foremost in production. It has enabled the laborer to successfully insist upon good wages and has induced capital to engage in production with a' reasonable hope of a fair reward. Its vindication is found in the history of its success and the rapidity with which our national resources have been developed and our industrial Independence secured, and we heartily renew our pledge to maintain it. Tariff rates enacted to carry this policy into effect should be just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to soctlonnl discrimination and individual favoritism and must from time to time be changed to meet the varying conditions incident to the product of our industries and their changing relations to our foreign and domestic commerce. Duties that are too low should li are too high should be reduced. Raaad tfce W«*«4 The last connection in the Commercial Pacific Co.'s cable was made at Honolulu Saturday night at 10:30 p. in., eastern time, and a,cablegram was flashed around the world in nine and one-half minutes.

It. was as follows: The conise of President Roosevelt's message around the world was by the Postal Telegraph Co., land iroe from Oyster Bay to San Francisco, theuee by the Commercial Pacific cabUf* to Honolulu, to* Midway, to Guam, and to Manila. From Manila to Hong Kong the message passed by the cable which was lifted and cut by Admiral Dewey in 180S. From Hong Kong ft went to Saigon, to Siuapore, to, Penang, to Madras, to Bombay, to Aden: to Suez, to Alexandria, to Malta, to Gllnltnr, to Lisbon, and to the, Azores. Eetween Hong Kong and the; Azores it had passed by foreign; tables. At the Azores it was' taken up again by the Commercial' cables, and sent to Canso, to New York, and to Oyster Bay. A message^ starting around the world at 5 a. n\., today would arrive at Honolulu at 11; p. m. yesterday, at Midway at 10 p.j m. yesterday, at Guam, at 7 p. m. today, aud at Manila at 0 p. m. today.

Here the conversation was interrupted by the arrival of supper, and the t w o men talked of trivial things until the conclusion of*the meal, when Pope produced a bottle of brandy, filled a glass, and passing the bottle to the leveled arm of his guest, began in sober earnest: i "The idea of trying for my fortune 4a a pirato came into my head on hearing of Jackman's adventure. You have the spirit of the buccaneer and know something of the life of the pirate. Why should not a shrewd, resolute and fearless man easily fill his hoid?" • "Given a ship, given a crew, there ie-pienty to be done, n o doubt," said Crystal. "But it's perilous work; it's short shift if you're nabbed. But why won't you give me your scheme?" . Captain Pope considered a little, ''if I satisfy you that it may be done, w/Ul you join me as second in command?"" '"5fies," answered Crystal like an echo. "See here," said Pope, in a low, cold, emphatic voice. "I want money to fit out this expedition. Now there was a deal of valuable plate in my family and it all went, in ways there 4« no need to describe, into the hands of an aunt of mine, a woman who lives on a small income in a little *house called Updown, hard by Marg a t e . A large portion of that plate ^s mine by right of my being my ^father's son. I choose to think it so, •and I mean to have it." He clenched bis fist and let it fall. "The value?" said Crystal coolly. "AJ1 fifteen hundred pounds." "That'll buy you the ship. Where's t h e <"ash to come from to victual her?" "Staunton will take three hundred down and a bill for the remainder. 'I'll help y e to find some stiff 'una. How many of a crew?" "A hundred and eighty tons," mused Pope. "Allow for ten men to be sent adrift. WJiat s a y to a company of forty?" "Oh, plenty," echoed Captain Crystal swiftly, "but plenty if you please, Pope, for sharp work. This sort of cruise is not a thing a man extends." "No, by heaven," answered Pope. "But I shall want ten thousand pounds out of it." "A man muBt live," said Crystal. "I've fought for this country a s a privateersman, and as God is our saviour I don't mean to starve for her. I'm with ye4 Pope." They sat drinking acd talking until about the hour of eleven. Pope found the ideas, and Crystal the objections; and in this fashion they trimmed the sail of their ordinary project, till, with a strange hearty cry, Pope struck a powerful hand into his friend's, saying, "You see now how it may be done? To-morrow we'll dine together at the Mitre, and thence to Rotherhithe." * Mr. William Crossman w a s a wellknown character a t ' Rotherhithe in the early years of this century. His public house was after the regular pattern of low taverns. It had a bar behind which stcod sometimes Mrs. and sometimes Miss Crossman; and it had a parlor which was very comfortably fitted. The place smelled foully of acid ale, and was commonly full of seafaring men, some of them of a rather peculiar type. Now, after dining at the Mitre, as had been prearranged, Captain Pope and Captain Crystal arrived at the Camperdown public houso, and entered. "This is Captain Pope, a friend of "mine, Miss Angelica," says Crystal, and Pope flourished his hat to the Pope Flourished His Hat Curse him! if h e didn't give me that •chance, he'll find his ship gone. For I've made up my mind. I'm a desperate man. The black flag flies Aboard the Gypsy already, and I see plunder enough in our hold to maintain us as gentlemen for life." "How dy'e mean to fetch this plate?" asked Captain Crystal. ."There be two ways," responded Captain Pope; "you may take it by road, or you may take it by water. 'My. idea, Crystal, is to hire a ten or twelve-ton cutter, and sail to Margate, land, tci/e tlio plate, march with it aboard, and sail away across to Hamburg, where I know a merchant who would take the stuff off my hands at a good price. We should then return" and there will have been no risk." '•It may be done," said Crystal, "but what with the burglary, and what with the bringing of the plate across country, and what with its shipment on a coast where the blockaders get the sight of lynxes and the smell of bloodhounds from the jobs the smugglers put 'em to, it'll prove as dangerous an. undertaking as could ever make the stoutest heart pause." "Do you pause?" cried Pope, wildly leaning forward and staring with desperate glowing eyes at the other. Crystal tapped here and there with his square foot. « "I don't pause," said he. "I raise objections to grease your keels with. It may be done, I say. Where do you look to And seamen?" "I may profess a respectable voyage, and they'll sign for an honorable run. When w e are at sea, I'll cftjl them aft, and those who object , r a send adrift" • "that's it," Uaid Crystal grinning. lady, who bowed and simpered as she sank in a curtsey. Pope was about to order two glasses of brandy, when Crystal stopped him by saying they would drink with Crossman, and as he spoke Crossman himself stood in his parlor door taking a view of the company with his one eye. He saw Crystal and nodded, and the two captains immediately made for him. /'We've come to have a yarn with you," says Crystal, taking Crossman's great fiBt. "This is my particular friend, Captain Pope. Shut the door, William, for we want to be private." "But first, sir," says Captain Pope, "will you ask your lovely daughter to, bring us something to drink." Miss Crossman placed a bottle of brandy upon the table and went out, languishing at Pope, who had a very good knowledge of the use of his own eyes. "Crossman," says Crystal, opening fire at once, "I'll tell you what we've come here to talk to you about. My friend Captain Pope is the son of a gentleman who owned a quantity of plate. This fine silver plate found its way into t h e possession of an old lady, Captain Pope's aunt, but it don't belong to her, it belongs to Pope. He was at s e a when the lawyers got fingering the property, and, like all sailors h e was robbed. My friend wants to recover his own." "Very natural and proper," exclaimed Crossman. "What might be the value of this 'ere plate, sir?" "From twelve to fifteen hundred pounds," answered Pope. "But it'll fetch, I allow, no more than from six to eight hundred." > Crossman nodded as though' he" should l a y , "Fire away, I 4 o » * •*% yoor meaning." Pope then told him that the* plate was stowed s w a y In a lonely house, near Margate, o c c u p i e d by t h e old lady, and maybe others—he could not yet tell; that h e bad once had a n idea of fetching his property by road; but was hindered by the troubles and perils he foresaw when be and h i s companions left the b o u s e , with the plate. "In fact," he said, "we should be chased and captured." "And hanged," said the ex-pruefighter. T o r possessing myself of my own?" cried Pope, with his eyes full of cruelty and temper, as he bridled and tnrew his strong arm dramatically on to the table. "They'd hang us, Pope," grunted Crystal. "Any way," continued Pope, flashing into cheerfulness and cordiality, "the road being cut of the question, Mr. Crossman, nothing but the water remains; and we propose to proceed for our property by sea." "How can I help you?" said Crossman, looking uneasily at Crystal. "You may put me in the way of hiring a sloop of ten to twenty tons," Pope said; "but that's the least part" "William.." exclaimed Crystal, "the long and short of it's this—we want you to give us the names and the hemes of three men who may not be wholly unused t o jobs of this sort, and who, for a handsome consideration, will be willing to ship as our crew." "Oh, that's your want," said Crossman thoughtfully. He put his finger to his nostrils, and striding to the door cpened it, and stood looking forth upon the bar with its crowd of drinkers. On a sudden the ex-prizeBghter whistled and beckoned, and after draining a pewter pot, there approached him, WHY T W t HAwl i t « 0 «ALT, - 5=535=¾ Packers Compelled «• ft* * * e * * t i as PrsssrvaiWs. - "We are having many complaints about t h e unusual saltiness jof bam, bacon, and canaed goods this summer/' **ioy* butchery who does a large fan* ily tftde.

Here's one man for your purpose, Ceptaln Pope," he said; but he remained in the doorway. "What's your name?1' said Captain Pope to the man the prizefighter had summoned. "Robert Bobbin," answered the fellow, in a rough, raw voice, with his head stooped, twirling his hat. his greasy black hair tumbling about his face, on which the devil had written the word rogue in eye, nose, and mouth. Captain Pope began to talk to him in a very low voice, and Captain Crystal drew close, pipe in hand, and listened. Crossman. in the doorway, seeing this, directed his one eye at Captain Pope, to whom he said: "There must be no arrangements made in this 'ere house. master.-J'm willing to oblige my friend Crystal, but 1 can't allow myself to be involved." Then looking at the fellows in the bar, all of whom were eagerly staring in the direction of the parlor, thirstily wondering why Bobbin had been called in, he called out the names of two men, who instantly came tumbling toward him and lurched into the parlor. Pope loofted them up and down; one was a haggard man, of a broken and dangerous appearance; he waa very dark, with a savage squint, and rolled on his legs as he stood, as though the floor of the parlor had been a heaving deck. The other w a s a little man, very thickset, pale, with brown hair that sat upon his head like a wig, and moist blue protruding eyes. He looked as harmless as the other seemed terrifying. But they were three men, and very fit for the errand Pope and Crystal designed to carry them on. Beyond a few questions, however, and the taking down of a note or two, Crossman would not permit any conversation; "No, you must settle your business out of my house," said h e ; whereupon the three men agreed to present themselves at Captain Pope's lodging next morning. Pope gave each man a guinea, shut the door upon them und the silence was charming. "Can you put me in the way of hiring a little vessel, something fit to cross the Channel in?" said Captain Pope. Crossman pondered; there was nothing sinister in this request. After a considerable pause h e said: "There's Jem Marling; you'll find him in Rock street, Greenwich. I know he has a little vessel in which he goes a-coasting. and I believe she's suit your purpose. Tell yer what I'll do; I'll find out if she's in the river, and if you'll send here to-morrow afternoon I may b e able to give you some particulars." Nothing could b e more satisfactory. Pope thanked the prizefighter heartily, and he and Crystal departed. "Here you'll find your crew for the Gypsy," said Crystal to Pope, as they stepped into t h e street. And Pope assented in loud laugh of satisfaction. (T6 be coatlnUed.)- volume and character of t h e testimoare usually termed "notions."—Typo- tfhe newspapers can leave n o room for graphical Journal.

The other fellow's name was Gridley. Ellsworth did not know Gridley, but he'bated him. and felt that nothing would make him quite so hap* py as to show him up in his true light. He did not know what Oridley'a true light was, but he was confident It must be a bad one, and he wanted to shine by contrast. He began the disillusioning process by making Grid ley's acquaintance. Incidentally he inquired secretly into his pedigree, social and financial. This investigation, however, resulted in nothing discreditable to Gridley, with ths exception of his having been in love with Mrs. Ellsworth, and that was a crime for which not even Ellsworth, when reflecting on the matter in his saner moments, could consistently blame him. But the budget of testimony eliciteJ in Grtdlcy's favor did not alter Ellsworth's conviction that he was a rascal. "All evidence to the contrary," Ellsworth declared, "I still think the fellow has a yellow streak somewhere in his make-up, and I am going to find It If it takes ten years." It did not ^ake ten years to get track of the saffron-tinted streak. One day in the latlt-r part of April Ellsworth and Gridley happened to be in Philadelphia on business. They met in the Broad Street station and came over to New York together. On the way Gridley got confidential, and before they crossed Cortlandt Street ferry Ellsworth had found the yellow sreak. After dinner he told his wife about it "I saw a friend of yours to-day/' he said. "Who?" she asked. "Ed Gridley. He asked about you.' Mrs. Ellsworth flashed him an inquiring glance out of the corner of her eye. She-had never told Ellsworth that she had been engaged to Gridley, and she wondered how much he knew of that arrested romance. "Oh, yes," she said. "Mr. Gridley and I are old friends. But I did not know you were acquainted with him. How do you like him!" "Not very well," said Ellsworth. "I think he is a cad." "That is strange," she said. "Ho never impressed me so." "That is because you do not know him as men know him. Just wait till you hear what he told me this afternoon, and you will change your mind. He laid me a funny thing that happened three years ago, when ho was courting some girl up in the country somewhere. He did not mention the exact locality, and I forgot to ask, but Got confidential. It doesn't matter. Anyway, he and the girl wore pretty sweet on each other, and one evening when they were out driving they made up their minds to get married. They were then seveial mites from the bote! where the party was staying: Abosjt halfway between the village and the point in the road * h e r a i W happen*) to be .whet the metTittdnia! Bcmoa .struck young Baptist peacher, and they decided to Btop there on their way back to the bote* and get him to perform the ceremony. "They were in a hired rig.

"What 1 blame him tor is the fact that when bo was trying to persuade that .girl to marry him on the, siy he was. engaged to some one eJHe," ' Mrs. Ellsworth's eyes opened wide, then narrowed ominously. "He wasV she cried. "How do you know that?" "It is easily figured o u t That took place in the late summer of 1900." "Well," she said, "what does that prove?" Ellsworth stood up and looked at her fixedly. "Prove?" he echoed, "it proves everything. H proves that Grid* ley's got that yellow streak I always credited him with. I've never said anything to you about It, but—I knowlots of things you think I don't know. I know Gridley was iond of you. In short, I know you were engaged to him at that very time, and I—oh, hang it all, can't you see what I mean? 1 don't, so much mind your having been engaged to him—a fellow expects a girl to figure in two or three littlo affairs of that kind befcre she finally settles down with the right one nowadays. It is the fact tnaf he was about to play you a mean trick and go off and make love to some other girl and marry her while you were down here in New York or some place else believing him steadfast as Gibraltar all that time that makes me hot You were a million times too good for him, and when I think of the way he was about to play you false I could wring his neck with real pleasure." Mrs. Ellsworth spread her hands before her face and peeped at her husband between "her fingers. "Oh, Tom," she said, "what a great big goose you are. And what a good fellow into the bargain. When you began that story I thought you knew what you were talking about, but it seems you didn't I never meant to tell you, but I can't help myself now. Mr. Gridley wasn't engaged to anybody else at all—at least, I don't think he was. I was the girl he tried to marry, and if it hadn't been for that horse—" The revelations took Ellsworth's breath away for a few minutes. "Well," he said, when he finally got it back, "he came nearer getting you than I thought. I must say that under the circumstances the feHow had gall to tell me about it, and I am more firmly convinced now than ever that he has a yellow streak."—Emma M. Wise, in New York Times. "i am more firmly convinced now than ever, that he hac a yellow streak." Gridley and the big *oay had been on several jaunts together they had never got very well acquainted, so when Gridley in his anxiety to reach the parsonage in good time on that particular evening, touched the whip lightly to the big bay's back, the bay re- Bented the familiarity. He quickened his pace, which was what Gridley wanted him to dp, but he quickened it too much for comfort and safety. He did not actually run away, he just cantered alcng p.t a lively gait, and no amount of whoaing zrC lurking at the reins could induce him to slow up a bit "By and by they drew near the par sonage. Gridley sawed on the lines with all his might so as to pull the bay to a dead stop by the time they reached the front gate. But the big bay's temper was up. He had been insulted by the application of the whip, and while he was very careful about where he went and gave Gridley and the girl to understand that he did not mean to break their necks, he was also caro ful to let them know that he intended to keep on going till he got ready to stop, and they might as well make the best of it. He carried them right past the parsonage and never let up trotting at his dead level gait till he reached the hotel, and then he turned in at the driveway and stopped in front of the porch as unconcernedly as if that was where Gridley had headed him for at the start. "Gridley was hopping mad. He wanted to thrash the big bay and then hire another horse that was not prejudiced against matrimony and go back to the parsonage and get married after all. But the girl wouldn't do it. She was Inclined to be superstitious, and she argued that Fate had directed the maneuvres and that the bay torse had been inspired by Providence to break off the proposed marriage. Gridley didn't agree with her. He gave the the devil the credit for the performance rather than the opposing power, but the girt was set in her opinion and wouldn't give in, so they never got married." Ellsworth paused and looked at hia wife curiously. Her face was flushed, and its expressions ran the gamut of emotions from suprised indignation to hysteriral mirth. "But I don't see," she said presently, "why you should dislike Mr. Gridley on that account. Perhaps it was not exactly honorable to propose a sudden marriage as he did, but the girt seemed willing/and I don't see why you should put all the blame on him. Many other men—indeed, I may say most other men—would have done the same thing.** "Oh, I'm cot filing fault with him >'h/ "'<^i BRAVERY OF AMERICAN SAILOR. Hero of One of Most Notable Deeds Ever Performed. What threatened to be one of the worst disasters in the history of shipping was the burning of the Ocean Monarch. The fire was discovered in her fore hold an hour or two only after she left the Mersey. There was a strong breeze and she was headed for the Welsh coast. By some unlucky accident an anchor was dropped and the big ship was brought up all standing, head to the wind. The flames came roaring aft, where 600 passengers and crew were crowded. A Brazilian frigate, a yacht and a pilot boat were near, but they only attempted to pick up those who jumped and swam. Suddenly up came an American clipper, and rounded into the wind barely 200 yards away. In her first boat was Frederick Jerome, only an able seaman, but one of the bravest seamen that ever lived. In a flash his boat was alongside the burning ship and he climbed on deck amid the scorch and smother. There he stayed until the last soul of 600 was saved. His clothes were on fire seven separate times, and he was scorched almost beyond recognition.—Exchange. Down On the Farm. When fiercely smites the braxen sky, And pavements parched, and scorch In* lie, 'Tis then the countryside invokes Its pilgrimage of "city folks."

It Is claimed that the first flag raised on a schoolhouse in this country was hoisted, on Catamount Hill, Colerain, Franklin county, Mass., in May, 1812. Recently a party of patriotic citizens of the town placed a stone slab on the site of the old log schoolhouse, and it is to be suitably inscribed and "unveiled" with appropriate ceremonies. The flag raised in 1812 was made by Mr. and Mrs, Amasa Shippee, Mrs. Alden Willis and Mrs. Stephen Hale, from material spun and woven in the different homes of the neighborhood AMERICA is the land of nervous women. The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease* Mrs. Emma Mitchell, 520 Louisiana street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "Peruna has certainly been a blessing in disguise to me, for when I first began taking it for troubles peculiar to the sex and a generally worn out system, I had little faith. "For the past five years I have rarely been without pain, but Pc runa baa changed all this, and in a very short time* I think I had only taken two bottles before I began to recuperate very quickly, and seven bottles made me well. I do not have headache or back' ache any more, and have some Interest in life. I give all credit where it is due, and, that is to Pe» runa.—Emma Mitchell. By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh. M M M A A A M W W W W W W W M W W W W I 1 hey are catarrh of the organ which is affected. These women despair of re-, covery. Female trouble b so common, so prevalent, that 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 thesoeroeof their illness. In female complaint, ninety-nine . cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Chronic invalids who have languished for years on sick beds with some form of female disease begin to improve at once after beginning Dr. Hartman's treatment Among the many prominent women who recommend Peruna are:—Belva LockwoodV of Washington, D. C ; Mrs. CoL Hamilton, of Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. F. E. Waran,wifeof U. S. Senator Warren, of Wyoming. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving aJultefatement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratia .

The late Paul du Chillu was on one occasion asked why he had never married. "Well, once upon a time," he answered, without a smile, "an old African king who was very fond of me offered me my choice of 863 women as a wife. 'Your majesty/ I replied, 'if I should marry one of these beauties of yours there would be 852 Jealous women here.' 'Well,' replied the king, 'that is easily settled. Take them all.' That was a little too strong for me, however, and, as I have never had such a field to choose from since* I am still a bachelor." Harcourt Deceived Gladstone. Gladstone hated tobacco in every form, and while premier of England said once reproachfully to a close personal friend, "You have been smoking this morning." The reply was, "I have been sitting for half an hour in the room of Sir William Harcourt, who is a great smoker." Mr. Gladstone said, with surprise, "I never knew he smoked. He must be always very careful in changing his clothes before he comes up to me." Harcourt being a member of the Gladstone cabinet. A Good Story. Frederika, la., July 13th.—- Mr. A. S. Graver of this place tells an interesting story showing how sick people may regain their health if they will only be guided by the experience of others. He says: "I had a very bad case of Kidney Trouble, which affected my urinary organs so that I had to get up every hour of the night. I could not retain my urine and my feet and limbs began to bloat up. My weight was quickly running down. "After I had tried many things in vain, I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, a medicine which had cured some other very bad cases. "This remedy has done wonders for me. I have gained eight pounds in two months. The bloat has all gone from my feet and legs, and I don't have to get up at night. I took in all about ten boxes before I was all sound." Those who suffer as did Mr. Grover can make no mistake in taking Dodd's Kidney Pills, for they are a sure, safe and permanent cure for all Kidney urinary disorders. Nothing pleases a busy man more than to set two chronic, bores to boring each other. DO YOC* 0LOTBS8 LOOK TKAOWf If so, o—Bed Cross Ball Bine Itwittmake them white as snow. s.os. package 5 cents.

Eyery available mechanical device tor producing a perfect record has been utilized, and the master records were made at the laboratory of the company \ti New^^oanVein after we've beaten'em." York by artists of international reputation. Among the celebrated singers whose voices have already been recorded is Ma reel J a Sembricb, the wonderful coloratura soprano, and queen of the lyric stage, of whom Mr. W. J. Henderson, the musical critic of the New York Sun says: "When I am listening to Marcella Sembricb singing Brahm's 'Wie Melodien,' or Schubert's lDu Bist Die Rub, I think she must be tbe greatest singer that evwr liyed." And the Graphophone has preserved not only for us, bm for all time, the magnificent vibrant tones of Edouard De Reszke, the foremost Jiving basso, whose name is a synonym for all that is noble and excellent in his art: and of Madam Schumann- Heink, the most prominent contralto of modern times. Rarely has such dramatic powers combined with such wonderful quality of tone. It seems impossible that a voice can be so trained as to express with equal sureness the tragic and the pathetic, the humorous and burlesque, butScbumann- Heink combines all these qualities in a voice which is a marvel of purity and excellence. Records have also been m\de at the voices of Campanari, the leading Italian baritone of the times; of Suzanna Adams, the youngest of all the great prima donnas; and of Antonio Scotti, and Charles Gilibert, who have a per* sonal following equaling that of Campanari himself. These Grand Opera Records axe approved and siuned by the singers making them, and are endorsed by musical peoplfe generally. Signor F. Mancinelli, the musical director of tbe Metropol itan Opera House says: "1 have just listened with great pleas ure to the remarkable reproduction of the voices of the artists_p_f the Metropolitan Opera House. They are true to lite and clear and J cat only express my satisfaction with them." Those who have not the opportunity to hear grand opera singers will be interested and instructed by the reproductions ot the voices cf these great artists, and those who frequent tbe opera will find it a pleasure to recall the presents and the actions of the original. But these Giand Opera Records will be of special educational value to the student. Those who are striving to work out theories of the production of tone, or are endeavoring to acquire a particular style, know that one of tbe greatest incentives to success h some concrete example of what they are striving for, some embodiment of the result which they hope to attain. It is not the instruction of the teacher which spurs tbe student to his greatest tftort; it is the voice of t t e artist who has attained the goal; and that voice must be studied, and studied with care. With these Grand Opera Records, tbe studeot will have an opportunity to observe minute details of phrasing and enunciation which have hitherto been beyond his grasp.

CO. tTtt P A1X STsfBT MAJUON.INO GRIMSHAW'S PLAN [Original.] In the days of slavery in the southern states a young negro was one evening, after a hard day's hoeing, enjoying the recreation of practicing with an old pistol that he had found and polished. Gumbo, as he was called, had a passion for shooting aud was au expert Within a circle of admiring darkies be was tossing up chips and putting bullets through them while in the ajrs, Ambrose Grimshaw, the overseer, hearing the shots, went to see what it meant. From behind one of the cabins he witnessed Gumbo's skill without being himself seen. Then, advancing, he ordered that the boy receive fifty lashes for having firearms in his possession. Gumbo bore his punishment with patient endurance. It was a common occurrence on that especial plantation ©wing to the cruel nature of the overseer. The negro showed no vindictiveness and was always afterward obedient, even to servility. Prochet, the owner of the plantation, was an easy going man, with no head for business, while Grimshaw was as avaricious as he was cruel. One day Prochet discovered that all he possessed was about to pass to his overseer. Grimshaw was above his class in Breeding and. education. Indeed he was fairly well born. Prochet conceived the idea of marrying his daughter to Grimshaw on condition that the property be settled on him. Miss Prochet objected, especially since while on a visit to St. Augustine she had met a young oflicer of the United States army at Fort Marion, with whom she had fallen in love and who had asked her h r i d . But when her father told her that a marriage with Grimshaw wac the only way to save the plantation she resolved to sacrifice herself for ber father, w^hom she loved devotedly. The war came on; and while Prochet became poorer Grimshaw grew richer, being interested in a blockade runner that had made several successful trips from Southampton to Charleston. It was at this time that Miss Prochet consented to marry him. The -war had separated ber from, her northern lover, and she had' heard nothing from him smce the firing on Sumter. But one morning about sunrise, when no one suspected there was a Yankee within fifty miles, 10,000 of them came hurrying»down the turnpike past the plantation, having made a forced march during the night They went into camp near by, and during, the day a young captain of artillery rode up to the Prochet -manor house to call upon Miss Prophet He was Edgar Pennington, the man who had asked be* hand. His co«iing caused a commotion. Mr. Prochet was in great distress about the matter. Carey's resolution was put to a severe test, while Grimshaw ground his teeth and vowed that she should never wed the young oSTcer. One night an oflicer was pieked off by a bushwhacker who was never dis- | covered. This suggested to Grimshaw . a means of getting rid of his rival. He sent for Gumbo to come to his rooms. I "Gumbo," he said, "would you like your freedom?" "Yes, rnassa." "And $5,000 besides?" ' "Yes, massa." The darky's eyes were as big as saucers. "Very well. Tonight Captain Pennington will leave the plantation to ride to camp. I will join and rtde with him. You follow and when I take off my hat shoot him through the head." "Why don't yo' do dat yo'self, massa?" ' "I wish to marry Miss Prochet. If I killed Captain Pennington even in a fair'fight, it would prevent this marriage." "But wha* fo' d'yo' go 'long with him when he git shot?" "To prove that I did not shoet him myself. r\ shall give you a signal when some one is near to be a witness in my favor. You must shoot from a distance, but you are a good shot and can hit your mark easily." Gumbo lowered his eyes to the ground anil thought while Grimshaw watbhed him eagerly. Presently the negffr looked up and said: "Reckon I want dat freedom and de five thousau' dollars." "Very well; lurk near the plantation gate from 10 o'clock till you see the man come out. If you succeed, come here tomorrow. I will keep my word." At 11 o'clock Pennington, who had finally secured Miss Prochet's consent to break with Grimshaw, rode out of the plantation gate feeling very hanpy. lie had not gone far before he overtook a horseman whom he recognized as his rival. "Good evening, captain," said tbe latter. "Riding to camp?" "Yes," said the captain shortly. "With your permission I'll ride with you." "As you like." Grimshaw made passing remarks at intervals till an army courier, with a dispatch in bis belt met them, when (re raised his bat.v Pennington was astonished to see the overseer pitch forward in his saddle and fall to t h e ground. It was fortunate for_Pennington that » , - . , J • Subscribe ion the DISPATOB there w a s a witness to prove" he was lanoeent of QrUnabaw'e death, which was never explained, though it was believed that a bushwhacker had intended to kill the officer and bad made a mistake. Grimshaw left no heir, and It was found } that ^nls hold on the Prochet properiy had been acquired by fraudulent means and was void. After the war Captain Edgar Pennington returned to the south and took back with him Miss Carey Prochet Gumbo became the captain's body servant, but if be told his master how Grimshaw met his death Pennington sept the secret MARY ALICE BERESPORD.

What angers the flea beyond endurance, is that when he bites the elephant, the latter does not roar with pain. A Kansas congressman is evolving a scheme for straightening the Kaw river. What the Kaw river needs is desiccating. Considering that J. Pierpont Morgan was not on hand, King- Edward's birthday celebration seems to have been quite a success. Isn't it lucky that the trees have the longest and most pliable shoots just at the season when the children are at home for Idle holidays. Some reformers mean well, but wear themselves out butting a stone wall before they find out that this is not that kind of a world. The Moors can lose more men in tattle and get fewer lines about the event in the dispatches than any nation now before the public.

Atlanta Constitution: The question is asked, "Will the gymnasium replace the corset?" Not necessarily, but it may make necessary an ampler corset. King Edward Is alarmed at the physical degeneration of the soldiers that make up the British army. He has nothing but featherweights and bantams left. Now if Sir Thomas will fird a horseshoe and a four-leaf clover to go with his rabbit's foot, all that he will have to do to get the cup will be to win the races. The actress who isn't in an automobile accident or engaged to a lord within the next two months is not doing the fair thing by her next season's press agent. It is rumored that Alfred Austin is at work upon a poem on the late Servian horror, but it is hoped the rumor is without foundation. The affair is bad enough as it is. The movement for the disarmament of the great nations doesn't seem to make any more progress than the movement for the disarmament of the small boys on the Fourth of July. Every dollar in the United States treasury is to be counted. No doubt the result will beat a naval or military display when It comes to convincing other countries of our power. Science predicts that it will ultimately discover a single element which is the basis of all matter and force. We hope not. Some one would be sure to corner it and form a trust. The city health officer of Louisville declares that the open-work waist is rushing hundreds of Kentucky young women to their graves.

The dia. mpjj4vfceJ*aya, can be of coamic origin only, having fallen as a meteorite at a late period of the earth's formation. The localities where diamonds are found contain the residues of not very compact meteoric masses which may have fallen in historic ages and penetrated more or leas deeply according to the more or less resistant character of the surface where they fell. The most striking confirmation of the theory comes from Arizona. Here on a broad plain over an area about five miles in diameter were scattered 1.000 to 2,000 masses of metallic Iron, the fragments weighing from half a ton to a fraction of an ounce. There is little doubt these masses formed part of a meteoric shower, although no record exists as to when the fall took place. Curiously enough, near the center where most of the meteorites have been found is a crater with ragged edges, three-quarters of a nfile in diameter and about 600 feet deep, bearing exactly the appearance which would be produced had a mighty mass of iron or fallen star struck the ground, scattering in all directions, and buried itself under the surface. Dr. Foote in cutting a section of this meteorite, found the tools were injured by something vastly harder than metallic iron. He examined the specimen chemically and soon after announced to the scientific world that the Arizona meteorite-contained black and transparent diamond. This discovery was verified by Professors Frledel and Noissan, who found that It contained three varieties of carbon, diamond, graphite and amorphous carbon. •fi liniri !

' T w a s the day when with Jameson, fierce Berry, and Birney, Against twenty thousand he rallied the field. Where the red volleys poured, wr-ere the clamor rose highest, Where the dead lay in clumps through the dwarf oak and pine, W h e i e the aim from the thicket was surest and nighest— No charge like Phil Kearney's along the whole line. When the battle went ill. rind the bravest were solemn. Near the dark Seven Pines, whore we still held our ground. He rode down the length of the withering column. And his heart nt our wc.r-cry leapt u p a t a bound.

No Resurrection of the Body. At a Methodist preachers' meeting held in New York recently addresses were made in memory of the late Bishop R. S. Foster and the late Eishop John F. Hurst. Dr. J. M. Buckley made quite a stir among the ministers by his address, in the course ot which he said that In the life to come he expected to meet and to know Bishop Foster and Bishop Hurst, but he did not expect to see any bodily form which he could recognize. "How do you know?" quickly asked a member, while the others looked expectant. "From the New Testament." responded Dr. Buckley. "I shall recognize some manifestation of soul, but 1 Bhatl not see their physical bodies resurrected." A Fine Discretion. Samuel Ellsworth Klser. the poethumorist of the Chicago Record-Herald, recently visited Baltimore in connection with a gathering of humorists in that city. During his visit he was asked by one of the local newsj^per humorists to write a piece of verse for his department. Kiser turned to his friend with a bland air and asked: "Poetry, or for publication?"—New York Times. Back in the" good old days when nerves and railroads were little known an old stage road ran from Lake Champlain to Ogdensburg, N. Y., passing through the little town of Sodom. This village nestled in a valley between two great hills, over which the white ribbon of the road wound eteeply. Upon one of the trips of the stage the regular driver, who Lad been at home for some weeks recovering from an illness, was riding inside while the red-haired, mild-featured, big-boned Irishman acting as his substitute occupied the driver's seat upon the bo*. The day was a beautiful one and the passengers were enjoying their drive keenly, their appetites increasing as the distance lessened between them and the town of Sodom with its promised pause for refreshment. Suddenly, as the heavy stage lumbered over the brow of the hill, down which the road plunged at a sharp angle, running through the little town at its foot and ascending the hill beyond, the passengers became conscious that their pace had' been recklessly increased. Faster and faster they went, dashing down the hill at a rate rapidly becoming a furious one. Trees and bushes at last became but a dizzying blur along the road. All clung to the reeling stage and held their breata in terror, while on the stage raced, down the hill with ever-inereasins speed, into the town, past the hostelry with the.waiting hosi left standing in amaze at the door, past the postofflce withotrt pause, and out upon the road leading up the face of the hill b'eyond. There the pace slackened, and as the incline grew more steep at last the smoking horses came to a standstill. With one accord the dazed passengers tumbled out and surrounded the driver, who now stood at the Lead of his reeking leaders. "What is it, Pat? What is It? Did they get away from ycu?" came tha breathless questions. "Nope," replied Pat with a sot face, "it wor that,' pointing grimly before Mm. There lay the stage torgue dragging uselessly en the ground at the heels of the horses, and completely severed from the ccach. At a glance the regular driver comprehended the meaning of the danger to which the passengers of that stage, deprived ot its sole means ot guidance, had been exposed, and, realizing the miracle of their escape, he turned eick and fainted where he stood. Later, back at the inn, when the excitement hi&«£qmewhat subsided and fresh horses were belrg put to the repaired coach, someone turned to Pat and asked: "Pat, what was your first thought when the pole dropped?" "Well, sor," he answered, settling the quid ttoro comfortably in his cheek, "me furst thought wor, "Lord, ha' mercy on our sowls!' Thin thinks I to meself, 'Damn a horse that can't outrun n wagon!" and I licked the poor divils- til th' way down the hill!"— Llppincott's Magazine. ONE TIME WHERE TWENS WOULD HAVE BEEN WELCOME It was their first baby. The young mother was in a perfect rapture. It was, without doubt, an ugly baby, but she did not know it Happy young mother. All of them are like her. But the father had dark misgivings. His salary was only $20 per week, and babies are expensive luxuries. Her father was rich, but had frowned upon their union, and had heterodox and heretical notions as to supporting a son-in-law. Cruel old man. One day, when' the baby was a month old. the father tame home from his office and found his wife radiant. She was even happy when the baby %vas out of her sight. "What is it, Jeannie?" asked her husband, gloomily, for he was yet uncertain as to the blessing conferred by the baby. He was also sleepy. "Oh, Charlie," she chirruped, "I heard from papa to-day." Charlie looked gloomier than ever. "Don't say anything, dear," she pleaded, for she knew her husband's opinion of her father. "He has heard of our baby, and, though he has not yet determined to forgive us, he sent us $1,000 for dear baby's sake." At first the young huoband's face showed a gleam of pleasure, then it shadowed again. "Aren't you glad, Charlie?" she asked, with a quivering lip. Then he smiled joyfully. "Yes, ilarling," he whispered; "but we should have had twins." -•"% LOVE IN TRIUMPH OVER THE PRECEPTS OF WISDOM Though Wu'Ting Fang is no longer a resident of the United States, memories of him still continue to augment the gayety of the nation. At a dinner party the other night a guest recounted a speech of Mr. Wu's. "He was discoursing," said the guest, "upon love. He -spoke poetically. It was delightful to hear him. "He told hc"^ a certain mandarin once determined to bring up his son in perfect Ignorance of women. Accordingly, he took the boy to a hut upon a mountain top and dwelt with him there alone, teaching him to love the gods and to fear those evil spirits and devils that molest mankind. "In this manner the boy grew into early manhood. He was not aware that women existed. He knew nothing but the precepts of the philoso- He Was Bald, IndeedT He was evidently a countryman, for when he took a seat in the cheap restaurant he looked around with rustic curiosity. His wondering gaze fell on the head of the man that was fearfully and wonderfully bald. "Look, mother," he said excitedly to his wife. "Thar ain't hair enough on that man's head to spile a pound of butter."— New York Press. phers of old time. He reverenced all ! the gods; he hated all the devils. "Then, one day, his father took him part way down the mountain and by ill chance three maidens appeared in the distance. They drew nearer. They passed close by. The youth regarded them with profoundest interest, " What are they, father?' he asked. " 'They are devils, my son. Hate them,' the father replied. "From that moment the boy became melancholy. He sat for long hours motionless, gazing far away. He would eat little. He sighed often. He grew thin and pale. " 'My son,' his father asked him, finally, 'what is the matter with you?' "Sighing, the youth said only this: "'Oh, father, that tallest devil! that tallest devil!"' Rebellion in Pittsburg. They have organized a Straphangers' league in Pittsburg, some of the most prominent men of the smeky city being among the members. H. S. Rand, superintendent of a life insurance company, is president and new members are being enrolled by scores daily. The object is to demand a scat for every passenger in a street car.

Yale university will equip its gymnasium, and $1,000 is being raised at" Princeton for its billiard room. Harvard and Pennsylvania will furnish the living rooms of the club. Comes of Patriotic Family. Ira Condit, Bon of a revolutionary soldier, celebrated his 95th birthday at Roseland, N. J. He is the youngest of eleven children, all born in the same house where he lives to-day. His father enlisted when 16 and his grandfather also was a coIdler in the continental army. Finished as He Started. "I began life poor and in hard luck," said a panhandler to Spencer Edy, Secretary of tne American Legation at Constantinople, who has been home on a furlough. "Don't say anything more, my man," was the reply. "It's worth money to see how you have maintained your own o valiantly." Back to the Padded Cell. ""Why," asked the man with the ingrown conundrum habit, "is the body of a fish such a great puzzle?" "Not guilty," said the party of the second part. 'The answer Is up to you."

We are always very liberal in the matter of publishing obituary notices, etc, and never make any charge for them if they are of people who ever resided here or are known here. This being the case, we ought to get tbe probate printing that naturally comes from this part of the county. It is ah the same price wbereever it is done. Wouldn't you just as soon send it to us as to give it to the other paper? A request to the Judge of Probate is all that is necessary. If your house aeeds painting, paint it now—this fall—with THE SHERWINWILLI A US PAIMT. Here are some of the reasons why you should do so. The weather is settled and you dew't have to contend with the spring rains. You will protect it against the winter's snows and storms. You will avoid the annoyance of gnats, flies, and other insects sticking to the surface. There is likely to be less moisture in it now than any other time; moisture is what often causes blistering, cracking, and like troables. S. W. P. costs less by the job than any other paint because it wears longest, covers most, looks best, and is most economical. S. W. P. is best because it's made from best materials-—pure lead, pure tine, and pure linseed oil. It always satisfies; never goes wrong if righry used. • O L D »V • * .

Copyright by McClure. Phillip* A Co. rr "Be brave, girl! inglj, though his own voice shook. ^'You hare got to make seventy-five miles an hour, or better; but you've got the machine to do it with. Give her her head on all the grades except Four Mile Creek—don't be afraid—and give her a little sand ou Beechtree Hill. Goodby—and God keep you!" As Sylvia stood beneath the great •black hulk of iron and steel which drew the "Overland" and glanced down the long line of mall, express and Bleeping cars, her heart almost failed ber again. Tho mighty holler towered lilgh above her in tho -larknesa and the steam rushed angrily from the done, as though the groat animal were fretting under tho unaccountable de* Jay. . "You are a brave little woman," she heard the superintendent saying at the cab-step. "Don't lose your nerve—but make time whatever else you do. Every minute you make up is raor^ in the company's pocket, and th:T won't forget it. Besides," he added, familiarly, "we've got a big gun aboard, and I want to show him that a little thing like this don't flustrate us any. If you draw into Stockton •on time, I'll add $50 to that check!" And he lifted her up to the cab. The fireman, a young Irishman, sUfred at Sylvia as she steppod into the cab, but she made no explanations, and, a glance at the stoans and the water gauges, climbed up to tho engineer's high seat. The hand she laid ttpon the throttle lever trembled slightly— as well it might; the huge iron Aorse quiffered and stiffened, as if bracing itself for its task; noiselessly and Imperceptibly it moved ahead, expelled one mighty breath, then another and another, quicker and quicker, shorter and shorter, until its respirations were lost in one continuous flow of steam. The Overland £as once more under way. v The locomotive' responded to Sylvia's touch with an alacrity which ^4^Ued-h«^'-^foug^-aBd~4h{,e«g^---She-'' glanced at the time table. They were twelve minutes behind time. The twenty miles between the Junction and (Grafton lay in a straight, level line. Sylvia determined to use it to good purpose, sad to harden herself at once to the dizzy speed required by the inexorable schedule. She threw the throttle wide open, andnsushed the reverse lever into the lost notch.

The headlight—so dazzling from in front, so insufficient frois behind—danced feebly ahead upon the driving cloud of Bnow.' But that was all. The track was iliumnight yawned beyond like some engulfing abyss, Sylvia worked with the fireman with a fine intelligence which only the initiated could understand; for an engine Is a steed whose speed depends upon its driver. She opened or closed the injector, to economize beat and water and eased the steam when it Seemed suddenly animated with a demoniac energy. oculcl bo spared. Thus together they coaxed, cajoled, threatened, and goaded the wheeled monster until, like a veritable thing of life, it seemed to strain every nerve to do their bidding, and whirled them faster and faster. Yet, as they flashed through Grafton they were still te:; minutes behind time. Sylvia shut her lips tightly, It it was necessary to defy death on the curves and grades ahead, defy death .she would. The sticky snow on her glass now cut off Sylvia's vision ahead. Another train ahead, an open switch, a fallen rock or tree—one awful crash, and the eTrgtne wrjTTftr~berome a™grtdtrrjir"for her tender flesh, while the palatial CATS behind, now so full of warmth and light and comfort, would suddenly be turned into mere shapeless heaps of death. Yet Sylvia cautiously opened her door a little, and held it firmly against the hurricane while she brushed off the snow. At the same time she noticed that the headlight was burning dim. "The headlight is covered with snow!" she called to the fireman. The young fellow instantly drew his cap tigher, braced himself and swung open his door. At the first cruel blast, the speed of which was that of the gale, added to that of the train, he closed his eye3 and held his breath; then, taking his life in his hands, he slipped out upon the wet. treacherous running beard of the pitching locomotive, made his way forward. and cleared the glass. Sylvia waited with bated breath until his head appeared in the door again. "Fire up. please!" she exclaimed, nervously, for the steam had fallen off a pound. As the twinkling street lamps of Nancyville came into view, Sylvia blew a long blast. But the wind, like some ferocious beast of prey, pounced upon the sound and throttled it in the teeth of the whistle. One-third of one hundred and forty-nine miles, was now gone and still the Overland was ten minutes behind and it seemed as if no human power could make up the time. They were winding through the Tallahula Hills, where the road was as crooked as a serpent's trail. The engine jerked viciously from side to side, and twice Sylvia was nearly thrown from her seat. The wheels savagely ground tho rails at every curve, and made them shriek in agony. One side of the engine first mounted upward, like a ship upon a wave, then suddenly sank, as if engulfed. Vet she dared not slacken speed. T i e cry of "Time! Time! Time!" was dinned into ber earn with every stroke cf the pisom. Her train was but one cog on oi.e wheel in the vast and complicated machine of transportation. One slip of that cog would rudely jar the whole delicate mechanism from coast to coast. The train dashed into Carbondale, and Sylvia made out ahead the glowing headlight of the eastbound train, side-tracked and waiting for the belated "overland." Suppose that the switch were open! She knew that it must be closed, but the sickening possibility presented itself over aad over again, with its train of horrors, in the brief space of a few seconds. She held her breath and half closed her eyes as they thundered down upon the other train; and when the engine lurched a little as it struck the switch her heart leaped into her mouth. The suspense was mercifully short, though, for in an instant, they were past tne danger, :\nd once more scouring the open country. In spite cf the half pipe of sand which she let run as they climbed Beechtroe Hill -the last of tho Tallahulas— it seemed to Sylvia as if the locomotive had lost all its vim. Yet the speed was slow, only by contrast, and in reality was terrific. At last, though, the big level of the Barren Plains waa gained, and for forty miles—which were reeled off in less than thirty minutes—they swept along like an albatross on the crest of; a gale, Bmoothly and almost noiselessly in the deadening snow. Sylvia suspected that the engine was doing no better right here than it did every night of the year. Yet, when she glanced from the time table to the clock, as they clicked over the switch points of Melrose she was chagrined to d scover that they were still eight minutes behind. They were now approaching the long twelve mile descent of Four Mile Creek, with a beautiful level stretch at the bottom through the Spirit River Valley. Sylvia came to a grim determination. Half a do/en times previously she had wondered, in her unfamiliarity with heavy trains, if she were falling short of or exceeding the safety limit; and half a dozen times she had been on the point of appealing to the fireman, But her pride, even in that momentous crisis, had restrained her. But just before they struck the grade the responsibility of her determination— contrary, too, to her husband's advice—seemed too much to bear alone. (To be continued.) f f PE-RU-INA Says , vr DP.

To Pasteuriza Milk. Any housewife can ''pasteurize" milk, making it sterile, if she cares to go to a little trouble. Place a pan of cold water on the stove and put the vessel containing the milk into this pan. Just as soon as the water comes to a boll take it off. Add a pinch of baking soda to the hot milk, the proportion being a little less than half a teaspoonful to the quart. If the milk is sweet it will remain so for twenty four hours even in the hottest weather if put in a stoppered bottle, Physicians recommend this method of treating milk for the use of babies in summer.

Caddo, Ky„ July 20th.—"I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath" is the way William Ball of this place describes how he is feeling. As Mr. Ball has been on the sick list for a long time, this declaration from him comes as quite a surprise. When asked to explain how he had become so strong in such a short time, he says: "I did have Kidney Trouble very bad, In fact I had to get up four or five times every night to urinate. I had shortness of breath which distressed me terribly. I was badly used up, and was really of no account for anything. "I used three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that's what has made me well. I can sleep all night without having to get up. I feel splendid and as I said before, I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath. Dodd's Kidney Pills did. It all."

HAT AS A TULIP THIEF. There are more than-90/)00 Italians In PbiladBlphfa, which is considerably more than tflV average good gueseer would put It' afc and the "quarter," as some person's like to call It, extends north to Bainbridge (Street from about Washington avenue, and west to Eleventh street from Sixth or Seventh. On the northern boundary the Hue H sharp and well defined, because immediately beyond it, and cloae enough to touch It, is another thickly peopled cclony of another race. Yet except for its growth, the Ital« ian colony seems the same place, the same transplantation of a bit of Italy, that it always has been. One cannot tell in a cursory glance whether these are the same people or new adventurers into the golden West; but the aspect gives the idea that as a race they are more clannish than many others that come to our shores; the costumes of the fatherland are more tenaciously clung to, the street habits are more nearly the same, and despite the practical and prosaic surroundings of a "bustling nation, the background is nearly as picturesque as in their native land. The same heavily bearded and fierce looking men may be seen, the same sun-kissed daughters of the mountains and plains of Italy, with their rapidly fading tropical beauty, and with the same love of color, generally any color, "so it's red," or green or yellow. The men may have lost some of their picturesqueness of their native dress in * concession to the demands of their employment, but the women are generally in. their native adornment, with the Inevitable short shoulder shawl and the bare head; and some of the beads are blonde, from Lombardy. One soon learns in Little Italy that the occupations of its inhabitants are of every conceivable kind, and if there Is a preponderance of any particular business It is, queerly enough, that of banking. The prevalent notion that most Italians are either organ grinders or fruit peddlers or bootblacks, with a fair sprinkling of restaurant waiters, is due to the fact that these occupations are such as take their followers away from the colony and out into other parts of the city, but in /i-yj/iGJr- \3£Z£/r/9 tgpecial Correspondence.) in a great while you are brought back to a realization of the American city by coming suddenly upon a bakery shop which bears some such 8ign as "Rudolph Bumpcrnickel," or upon another which reads: "Dennis O'Flaunagan, Fine Old Whiskies." But there are many Italian bakeries, too, in which you see the black bread of Italy, and some Italian saloons, v->?ere you can buy the real Italian w.hes. Many of the well-to-do residents, however, make their own wine from grapes which they buy for the purpose. There is very little of anything in Little Italy to detract from the. sense of being in the streets of. a genuine A Young Citizen. We colony their callings are as various as the need* of the city itself, and although all those who fellow trades learned them in Italy yet every trad© Is represented. Little. Italy has six or seven newspapers, three churches, innumerable news stands—which are also book stores and sometimes libraries—two theaters, beaks without-©umber and the usual proportion of shops of all kinds. Perhaps the vegetable stores are rather numerous, but to make up for it the meat shops are rather few. Everywhere the names are Italian, and generally the setting forth of the bust* nete it in the same language. Ones Youthful Belle of the Colony. Italian city, with all of its atmosphere and color. Even the smells are recognizable. Perhaps the most curious, as they are certainly the most mysterious, thing to be seen are the banks, and these are also the most foreign to the environment. These banks, it will be explained to you, if you ask, are "not real banks," but that is just what they are, and a great deal more besides. They are not real banks in the sense that they are not chartered and not generally governed by ordinary banking rules; but they are places where money may be deposited and drawn out. sometimes, subject to check. In addition, they do a large business in exchange and general money brokerage. They act as general agents in attending to all the business of the newcomer, who would, indeed, be at a great loss without them. Not infrequently the emigrating Italian picks out one American city above another, because he knows there some fellow countryman who is a banker, and in whose probity he has faith. The patron of such a bank is compelled to trust it more completely than in the usual case, where legal safeguards are more numerous, and where he is familiar with the country and its language, and so he chooses it with more fare and, wherever possible with some personal knowledge of the man behind it. Another function of these banks, or most of them, is that of the employment agency. It would take a closer study of detail than is possible to an outsider to say whether, Jn Little Itarv? domestic servants are hired tnrouglremployment offices, but these banke are agents for such employment of labor on a large scale. Little Italy has three churches, two of which—Santa Maria Maddalena and Our Lady of Good Counsel—are Roman Catholic, and one—L'Emmanuello— the oldest Italian Protestant Episcopal in this country. All of these have parochial schools attached to them, and both English and Italian are taught there. One of the theaters is devoted to the acting of plays by real actors, and is generally known to the students of Italian throughout the city. The other is a marionette theater, where are given plays based upon the Italian classics, such as "Orlando Furioso," or drawn from similar sources. It sometimes takes as much as a week to act a single one of these ttortee, and the Improvisation Is g«n> •rally a very clever performance. Had Carefully Stored Bulb* for Future Contingencies. M. de Parville, a well-known French naturalist, tells a remarkable story about a rat In the Journal des Debats. A gardener planted one afternoon 250 tulip bulbs on a terrace, and next morning he noticed that the ground had been disturbed and that they had all been taken away. * He was confident that rats had done the work, and, taking a spade, he began to dig, in the hope of discovering their nest. Soon he unearthed a large female rat, which he killed, and after digging a few more minutes he discovered an underground chamber, lined with hay and leaves and connected by a corridor with two holes, which were evidently used as storehouses, for in them he found the 250 tulip bulbs. This was remarkable, but more remarkable was the fact that they were neatly arranged in two rows and that not one of them had been gnawed or otherwise injured. A Twenty-third Street Miracle. A beggar crouched on the curbstone at the corner of 8ixth avenue and Twenty-third street one afternoon last week. A placard around his neck bore the words "Born Dumb." He held out a battered hat to the never-ending stream of shoppers, and begged in urgent, if speechless, fashion. But somehow there was scant response. Only an odd penny was dropped into the hat, and he commenced to look angry. Suddenly an old lady stopped.) before him, and began to ply him with questions in loud, shrill tones about his age, nationality and habits. H«s wagged his head for a while, and then, apparently driven to desperation, said explosively: "You needn't shout like that; even if I am dumb, I'm not deaf 1"—New York Press. Free Medical Advice to Women. lettav Reckless Skirted Gamblers. People who have made the matter a study contend that when the getrich- quick microbe attacks women it is not easily exterminated or made harmless. The phantom pictures which rise and fall with the click of the ticker fascinates them and they play the game of chance with the recklessness of veteran gamblers. Hundreds of women give their orders j clandestinely, and the fact that they have an interest in the stock market, that their daily examination of the market reports is prompted by anything beyond a desire to be informed, is not known to anyone save theii brokers.

Women Laborers In England. One woman in the English census figures is returned as a dock laborer and another as a pavior. There are also five female farm servants returned as in charge of horses, while four women are working as bricklayers, four as boilermakers, two as locksmiths and one as a coppersmith. In some other trades the number of women is surprising. Women brewers num ber nearly 100 and women builders 177, while the lightermen, bargemen, seamen, boatmen and pilots who, belying Itheir name, belong to the fair sex, run into several hundreds.

For 15 • a r t y Political F l a t t e n It Is In the seventeenth century that the first beginnings of the platform must be sought, but these early traces of its use are very slight That there must have been some little employment of it in a demagogic way may be Inferred from the "Characters1' of Butler, the author orthe ever memorable "Hudlbraa." He describes "a leader of a faction" as one who "sets the psalm, and all his party sing after him. He is like a figure in arithmetic—the more ciphers he stands before the more his value amounts to. He is a great haranguer, talks-himself into authority, and, like a parrot, climbs with his beak." It te probable, moreover, that the first form of the platform was the conventicle or meeting house of the Puritan or Dissenter, for Butler, in his character of "The Seditious Man," says that "if he be a preacher he has the advantage of all others of his tribe, for he has a way to vent sedition by wholesale." But the platform at this time was of no practical account Such attempts as there were outside parliament to influence opinion wese made by means of the press, partly by the boo%, partly by the pamphlet and partly by the journal.—C.

Sau Fraucisco, Cal., 7-7, '03. Chiua Town wjiicli is the largest ohinese quarters in the U. 8. covers an area of about 12 blocks bounded by California. Stoctoo, Broadway and Kearney Sts. The population of this interesting section is about 30,000. At night is the best time to visit this section, when the streets are lighted by Ohinese lanterns which present a really interesting spectacle. There are theaters, restnrants, baker shops, opium joints, gambling dens, josh houses and many other places of interest The first place of interest we visited was Sing Flat & Co. who are supposed to be worth several Millions of dollars. Their store contains the finest of Chinese and Japanese art and is very beautiful. JVe next visited a Chinese church or josh house where they worship twelve Idols in the following order: 5 kings, 4 queens and 3 Doctors. It also contains some of the fineBt wood carvings on the Pacific coast. Our attention was turned to the barber shops, whero they shave eye-brows, also the inside of the nose end ears. We needed a shave but did not desire to have their lances placed on us. After passing through several underground passagewayswe came to one of the famous opium joints of San Francisco, which was very dirty, n'lithy and sufficatiug. The opium in its raw state is black and odorous and after it is cooked it is soft and has a, smell like a raw peanut. Our attention was called to a Chinamen 85 years of age who has become poisoned by the use of raw opium and is known as the opium cat. We took one glimpse of this barbous skeleton and flew for the alley as the whole of Chinatown is one mass of alleys and dungeons. Over 800 Chinamen live in one building, the average size of a Chiniese room being 4 by 6ft. and 4ft. in height. They are great gamblers and are always fighting amongst themselves, their principal weapon being a hatchet. You never hear of a Chinamen being shot as they don't believe in shooting. Reliable guides can be obtained at any of the leading hotels who will for a small sum take parties to all places of interest. We were guided through under the able managment of J. W.

It is startling to think that while almost any tradesman's shop that might be burned down is covered by insurance the British museum, if it were burned down tomorrow, would not cost the insurance companies one halfpenny. Neither would the houses of parliament. They stand for £3,000,000, but not one single sovereign of this vast sum is covered by insurance. Three thousand pounds a year is spent on a force of.police and firemen to protect the houses of parliament by day and night, and the British museum pays the rent of a fireman's house in Coram street, but that is the full cost of the precautions against fire in these places. • The British museum, believing that prevention is better than cure, has no artificial light on its innermost recesses.— St James Gazette. 3 E •ma "i'v-i * tu Oi-the C.>ua:tujK ";-.; In the old day* of tm:>o?uous waifuw K cantiou >vus not reg;»ni«l us.

Pope rushed to the cupboard. It was locked, of course; they pried the door open in a minuate, and there on three shelvees was arranged a quantity of handsome, massive plate, mostly of old pattern. They found tableclbthes and quilts and very rapidly they made up the plate into three weighty loads, none, however, too heavy for a stout fellow to carry with ease, and Pope took care not to leave a mustard-spoon' behind him.

There Iwaa no light in the night to flow in 'through the doorway, and the passage was in pitch darkness. Pope, though inot a professional burglar, had pro- JTided for this. He pulled out of his pocket a little engine whose, invention belonged 36 that age. It consisted of * trigger and a flint, and whan the trigger leaped a clear flame sprang. At this flame the Captain lighted a piece-of candle. - He then apTang up a narrow stair- <oase. Pope could nor err in deciding which of tha tsia doors that stood belore him belonged to his aunt's room; lie entered, and by. his jandlelight taw the figure Of ^the poor old lady atretched in a lit upon her back on the floor. - Alas, poor old Mine Horntoy! her seventy-one years coald not support the ahock of a burglary, and aha lay at dead in a swoon, in her nightgown and nightcap.

They got into the road, every man with a heavy bundle of plate over his shoulder, and started at a walk that came near to a trot, By-and-by they came to a narrow taming which they took, and skirting the little town of Broadstaira, they entered some undulating] fields, sinking and rising over which went a tape-like path. "Look," says Steve, coming to a stand, "ain't those two men ahead yonder lookouts?" Captain Pope, after a prolonged stare at the shapes which were growing in the gloom and therefore approaching, cried out with one of those oaths he was so free with, ,"I believe I aee their muskets. Are they armed? If so they are Uockaders and we must cut them down or J * taken." "Not by two," says Maddiaon, and he struck the pistol in Ms breast The line of path rose and fell. There was not a bush behind which the three could conceal themselves. But since the approaching men were plain in view, the three also must hare been seen by them. It was use* less to turn aside. "Shove right \m," says Pope, "and leave me to do the talking. They may not be what I think." He set his teeth and they trudged on, grotesque in bulk with their bundles.

They left the man-of- wars man lying dead, stretched across the narrow pathway.' The figure of the running seaman had disappeared in the gloom upon the fields. They shouldered their heavy loads and went away at a rapid trot for Dumpton Gap, which, in about ten minutes' time they turned into and descended. -' > As they neared the bottom* where they might see the faint yellow shadow of the sanda stretching into the white line of earf. It was ajiuarter to four. " "Daybreak!" shouted Pope, "and as I live, there's the boat." Captain Pope had no need to hail the boat; Bobbin instantly saw them and stood up, simply lifting his arm, then, with incredible activity, he drew In his fishing line and, springing over the thwarts into the bows, dragged the anchor into the boat, and all in a minute, the little fabric came sculling toward that part of the sand where the three men were standing. Pope directed hi-, eyes to the right and to the left of the range of cliffs; not a human soul looked down. But the flying' man-of-warsman must hare already gained Broadstairs, and by this time the alarm would be raised. "Has the blockade a station at Broadstairs?" said Pope, hoarse with fatigue and the passions which were plowing up his soul. The others, not knowing, made no answer. It was-blowing a small air of wind out of the West. Three vessels, lying abreast about a mile sgtd a half distant, were getting under way. There was no life of shipping visible to the men, save those three vessels. "Got it all right?" said Bobbin, as he sculled the stem of the boat through the racings of thin surf on to the sand. "Ay." was the answer. "In with you swiftly. A man's been killed!" The three heavy bundles were thrown into the-boat and the captain and his man tumbled in after them. "Where's the sloop?" aaked Pope*. "Round the corner," answered Bob* bin, poling off. "They'll be running from Broadstaira to trap us here," said Captain Pope. "Lie low in the bottom of the boat, that only the man who's been fishing may be seen." Bobbin kept a lookout and reported as he sculled. The boat went slowly. "Hare you opened Broadstairs yet?"

An American firm recently introduced a pencil which is rapidly revolved by a •mall electromotor, so that the point of the pencil spins, and Is rubbed onto any spot by simply moving the pout gently over it in any d^sirvd direction, thus doing away with the necessity of the tiresome, confined motion of the operator's hand. Another method, lately Introduced from Germany, consists In fixing the negative of a photograph in a frame, which is vibrated rapidly by an electro-magnejic apparatus. The latest electric pencil for the use of photographers Is of English origin, and hi it the pencil point is very rapidly vibrated through an exceedingly small stroke by a simple electro-magnetio contact breaker, so that the pencil haa only to be guided by the operator while the electro-magnet performs the necssary rubbing at an exceedingly rapid rate, about 2,000 strokes per minute. It is claimed that this form is simpler and leee liable to derangement than the rotating form. For working purposes two large Leclanche cells suffice. In retouching the defective lines or spots on a negative, the stroke of the pencil requires in many cases, in fact, in almost every case, to be minutely small, and therefore to obtain the de- ,_s_lred effectjt U a very tedious process, the strokes having to be made wtthr great care. It is thus easy to realize* the advantage of nn instrument thai gives 2,000 n minute over the most rapid and skillful work possible b* hand.

MRS. BERTHA POOLS. BertL a £., only daughter of J. A. and Olive Donaldson, was born August 16,1870, and died July 28.1903. At an early age she gave evidence of possessing an unusually bright mind and retentative memory. Her greatest joy was found* in acquiring knowledge. She mastered all dimcutties in obtaining )$K education; attending high school afPiccsney and Howell also the State Normal at Ypeilanti. Her studious and scholarly habits and amiable disposition won for her the favor and esteem of her instructors. She could carry seven studies with as much ease as the majority of her classmates could four. Always obliging and helpfui, she devoted the hours that should have been spent in rest in assisting her lea* studious friends. This undermined her already delicate constitution rendering her liable to disease. While exercising in the gymnasium she contracted pleurisy from which she never fully recovered. At the age of thirteen she was convetted and united wiih the Pinckney M. E. charch and was a happy conscientious christian. November 2fltt99, she was united in marriage to Titer Poole of Anderson. Two children blessed their union. During the weary months r6f her last sickness she often spoke of death. She was not afraid, to die, but it seemed hard, just ansa* was starting on life's journey to be called home, to leave her dear ones. But her abiding trust in her Saviour finally reconciled her to go, feeling secure in the faith that "He doeth all things well." Her husband and children,, father and mother, foster sister and a host of relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the M. E. chureh the large crowd attesting to the esteem in which she was held. NEED of a LECTURE COURSE ************************** For some time there has been talk ot a lecture course for the next season and one or two enterprising citizens have started out several times to try and arouse enough interest in the subject to effect an organization of a committee. Their efforts have been entirely futile until a few days ago the organization was effected with the fo.lowing officers: President, Rev. Comerford. Vice Pres., Rev. Mylne. Sec. and Treas., F. 6 . Jackson. Executive Committee, F. L. Andrews. E. R. Brown. H. W. Crofoot. G. F. Green. This is a good combination and is so far well, but it is hardly likely that the committee will feel disposed to do anything in the matter unless the profound apathy at present existing with reference to the matter is expelled and the citizens come to the front and assure the committee of of their interest and hearty co-operation. It seems like a misfortune to go without a lecture and entertainment course next winter but unless the committee get some sympathy and support from the citizens that will happen. CONTRIBUTED. Later:—The committee met Tuesniffht and purchased a course that for real entertainment to please everyone is ahead of any ever put on here. It comprises lectures, concerts, comedy, and opera—six numbers which will be given for $1.00 for the season. The list ot attractions will be published next week and the committee will soon be ready to arrange for tte sale of tickets.

R i p e lifted his head, and a minute the little fabric was alongside, hoJl of the sloop putting her out off bight of land. The bundles were banded up; tUe men sprang aboard after them. T i » « t y my hearts!" shouted Pope, make sail." H e sprang to the tiller, and Crystal *t tan weight with the others, upon peak and other halyards. The sloping sail fluttered languidly rounded silent as the big jib the little vessel's head off. They under way and the ripple from stem glanced like a needle into tfca wake. Downs now lay plain, but very But one large blue shadow formidably—the Ramillies— as Pope looked a puff of white ;, tiny in the far-off sheen, broke her starboard broadside; which s e t Crystal swearing horribly. I t is her signal," he shouted. "The news has reached her; we are suspacted and shall be chased." •"The breeze means to freshen," exclaimed Pope coolly; "see the dark of it yonder; let me get behind Sands and I shall be happy. I designed to go Margate way. W e l l hng the South Sand Head clear af the Ramillies, and go straight for t b e French coast, and then for a shift cC helm for Hamburg." " T h e Captain's right," said Bobbin. T a e whole line of coast was now 'visible from Sandwich to the South VtsrelancL The ripples flashed, white fled in feathers from the weathbow and Pope looked astern at the well pleased. T H tell you the whole story in a of the Downs. There was a spirit in the freshening of the wind, and the Oak snored as she drove through it. An along the horizon to port were the Goodwin Sands. They were brilliant now with creaming lines of yeast, and the yellow shoal showed a firm surface upon which you could have played football. "They're bound to give up; that pace'll break their hearts," exclaimed Crystal, after a few minutes of silence during which he had been watching the chasing boat astern. "If they don't mind," said Steve, "they'll be foul of that there Dutchman." "By heavens! Steve's right," cried Pope, flushing up with sudden excitement and wresting the glass out of Crystal's hand. "What does the idiot mean by holding on?" He applied the glass to his eye. The Dutch frigate, under a full press was sweeping through It grandly. Could it be Imagined that the pursuing boat would attempt to pass under those thunderous bows! The naval officer steering the boat might have been insane with resolution not to deviate from the path of pursuit. The rowers had their backs upon the danger; the others were not there to deliver commands; so that all in a second it was too late. The six Oars sparkled as they rose in tragic arrest under the bows of the sweeping ship. On board the Oak they saw a number of men running on the frigate's forecastle Through the glass Pope spied her pco pie struggling for life in the frigate's wake. "That," he cried, pointing with the telescope to the white water astern of the frigate, "was her reason for bringing up in Margate Roads last night." "Ay," said Crystal, "hang me If there isn't even a Providence for pirates." and he and Pope laughed with al their might. The Dutchman measured a score of her own lengths before she backed "Look!"' said he, in his hoarse notes. a u n u t e . Crystal," said he, and he was proceeding when Crystal interrupted Mm. "Look!" said he, in his hoarse note, pointing. T h e Dutch frigate of last night." «xc!a3zned Pope, after turning his Head. She was coming down Channel on a taut bow-line, and made a fine figure a s she drew clear of the Foreland. "•What's that?" suddenly exclaimed Crystal, and Maddison, who had come o n deck, cried out, "They're a-chasing of us! ' Both he and Crystal looked toward Xtroadstairs, and thither Pope directed b i s eyes, where, without aid of a glass ite might see what should prove a six-oared galley sweeping from the tittle pier-end. Her oars sparkled swiftly. T h e glass!" he roared. Maddison grasped the tiller while t h e Captain looked. There were others 2a that boat than those who pulled Her. She seemed full of men. Pope caught sight of the glint of bayonets. S h e was coming along as steadily swift as the rapid determined pulse of the long and bending lines of flashash could drive her. The brine like frost at her bows, and the fm*m rushed aft as though she had owes driven by a propeller. "*A revenue boat," says Pope, with woe of his oaths, handing the^glass to Crystal, "and shfl's after us." <CloadB, white and swift with the Ugh* of the sun and the life of the wind, were overspreading the western seaboard, and they mingled with many Ismslng shafts of canvass heading out her topsail and lowered boats. Five men only were picked up, and they were too exhausted to explain the errand they had been upon. In fact, it was doubtful if the Dutchman would have understood them, The frigate remained hove-to, while one of the boats put the English seamen ashore at Broadstairs; by which time the Oak, unnoticed by the seventy-four, had fetched the southern limb of the Goodwin Sands, when, easing off her sheets, she went away for the French coast. CHAPTER V. The Crew of the Gypsy. At Hamburg the three hired men were discharged with their handkerchiefs liberally tasseled; and they left consenting to meet Captain Pope in London on such and such a date at the sign of the Camperdown. When Pope had settled his affairs in Hamburg, he manned the Oak with four Dutch seamen and sailed to the Thames. I am not able to give further particulars of the Hamburg expedition than these, because I never could get to hear who' had taken the plate off Pope's hands; how it had been got ashore without detection; the sum of money it had fetched, and the like. 'But this part, though it was doubtless full of excitement, is not material to the interest of the story, which may be said to begin with this: September the 30th, some time before 1820.—-It was blowing a fresh breeze of wind in the English channel; dark clouds, spitting rain as they sped, gave a look of flying wildness to the few dim spaces of dusty blue; they produced the effect of flying scud, and all on high seemed to reive as the.peeping* shadows poured away Into the horizon on the breath or the shouting- wind. In the midst of this scene a little bitg was sailing. She was the Gypsy? The captain was Richard Pope, her chief mate was Jonathan Crystal, her second mate and boatswain was Mafr thew Grindal, and in her forecastle and about her decks were thirty seamen, countlrg several idlers, such as the gunner, tbe earpontor, took, cabin servant, and the like. She was bound to the Bay of Campeachy to load with logwood, ar.d to trade with the West Indies. To the Bay of Campeac-hyl So it was said. So her papers showed. She had sailed down the river armed with four carronades of a side, a long gun on her forecastle, and a stern chaser, a twelve pourder. She was therefore a little formidable with artillery. But the pirate men continued as fixed a condition of the ocean life as the gilded and galleried West Indiaman she plundered. There were other risks, moreover, which made the cannon a necessary feature of a ship's deck. They had dined irj the cabin. Captain Pope had come on deck. It was Crystal's watch, and the two men stumped the planks together. Pope came to a stand at the little skylight to survey the scene of his ship, and Crystal, on wide legs, rocked beside him. "She lifts with splendid buoyancy," said the commander, "I never could have believed that she possessed these heels. Look how she throws the seas away to leeward! That fine Dutch frigate which saved our llve3 would not leap in loftier graces. Certainly the litlte craft just then was a heroic picture for a commander who was also her owner, to contemplate. Her four black dogs of war at a side crouched in the scuppers; and her tarpaulined forecastle gun looked like a dead giant stitched up awaiting burial. The twelve-pcunder aft was brass; a sullen glint broke in it when the sun shone. It made a formidable show on that little quarter-deck clear of tho wheel, then grasped by two seamen, one a colored man, the other as black as a gypsy with hair like srakes crawling out of his hat down his back. They lookea a pair of beauties, but were indeed in perfect keeping with the rest of tho crew now visible. It was they who gave the little flying ship her wild and savage aspect. The most formidable of them for ugliness and bulk was Matuiew-Grindall the boatswain, who had likewise agreed to serve as second mate. Though an Englishman, he had been a pirate aboard a Frenchman, had also served as able seaman in a scoundrel Spanish pkcaroon, and scarce 'a memory of this man's for year after year but was red and dreadful. He \va3 ovcrseeirg some work a cluster of seamen were upon in the waist, and Captain Pope watched him. Assuredly the Camperdown had been shelled to some purpose. Those of the crew who were at odd jobs about the deck, or who were gathered into groups about the galley and longboat, were as completely piratic in face and garb, in the sound of their desperate laughs, in their ceaseles oaths, in their postures, and motions charged with the brutalest spirit of defiance and recklessness, as the heart of man or boy could yearn to read about, and thirst to attend to the gallows. "Crossman has done our purpose justice," said Pope with a smile, with his eyes fixed on Grindal. "I expect tnat most of these men have seen their turn as pirates." "They're here as privateersmen," exclaimed Crystal. "They shall be undeceived," said Pope, turning suddenly and beginning to walk the short deck, Crystal beside him. "And what's the difference?" "The hangman knows," answered Crystal. "Was never a privateersman hanged?" cried Pope. "A letter of marque is as good as a pennon," said Crystal. Then seeing irritation in the commander's face, he said, "Has Mr. Staunton any suspicion, d'ye think, of the nature of this voyage?" "None. Four hundred pounds in cash, and the remainder in bills; that sufficiently appeased the curiosity of a man who had a ship which was rotting her bottom out in the Thames. Crossman acted well; he held as mute as a skull!" "Crossman is a man you may depend on," exclaimed Crystal. "When do you reckon upon taking the crew into your confidence?" "This afternoon, Jonathan," said Pope sternly, Crystal looked away to sea. There was now too much wind for the royals; they were clewed up to the shrill measures of the bo'sun'c pipe; the flying jib was hauled down, and the taut weather shrouds shook as some seamen ran aloft. "Sail ho!" shqurfed one of them out of the fore-top. "Where away?" roared Pope. (To be continued. KIDNEY 'Aching; back*1 ais. eaied. Up, back, and tola point overcome.

Just before he left the British capital the other day for Paris with Charles Frohman, to be present at the Paris performance, under Mr. Fr oh man's direction of his play, "Tho Admirable Crlchton," he Invited the Anglo-American theatrical magnate to accompany him on his first ride In hia new "devil wagon."

Some years ago Wier worked out a rule for calculating the absolute temperature of a heated body from the wave length of Its most energetic radiations. From this rule, which gives very probable results, the sun's temperature is found to range from 4850 degrees to 5450 degrees F.; that of Sirius, from 5700 degrees to 6400 degrees; Vega, 5700 degrees to 6400 degrees; Arcturus, 2450 degrees to 2700 degrees; Aldebaran, 2550 degrees to 2850 degrees, and the electric light, 8150 degrees to 3600 degrees.

Danville, 111., is in the throes of a race war. One negro, J. D. Mayflekl, of Bvansville, Ind., who shot and killed Henry Gatterman, white, has been lynched by a mob of GOO men. who were later fired upon bjr-the sheriff, three men belnjg wounded. The mob were clamoring for the life of another negro named James Wilson, who has confessed to a brutal assault on Mrs. Thomas Burgess, wife of a farmer at Atvon, 111. After securing Mayfield he was struck with sledges, knocked down, jumped upon and stamped to death. A rope was placed around his neck and his lifeless body was dragged three blocks through the stre?ts to th,e scene of the shooting. An efforl was made to hang the body to a telegraph pole, but the rope broke. The mob, which by this time, numbered 5,000, then dragged the body to the jail and burned it. While Mayfleld's body was burning the ears were chopped off and the feet which protruded from the flames, were hacked to pieces. P l a c e d ID t h e T o m b . The body of Pope Leo was interred in St. Peter's Saturday night. The strokes of the hammer which resounded through the immense dome of the cathedral announced to the earnest gathering in the nave that Leo XIII. had been laid to rest. At sundown tho most important and most solemn of all the obsequies took place. The front doors of the basilica were closed,.and the vast church, except for a row of lights at the shrine of St. Peter, the candles about the bier and those persons who had quietly and with the utanost reverence gathered there, appeared desertul. About 1,000 persons had received invitations to attend the corcnionios. The cardinals, who met earlier in t h j Vatican, entered the chapel ch^ir waiting there for the arrival of the procession.

T h e C s a r Feel* the P o w e r . Though the Russian government refused to entertain the American petition protesting against the outrages upon the Jews in Russia, the fact that official action was taken with a view to presenting it has accomplished its purpose. It has sufficed to bring the authorities high and low to a sense of their responsibilities. Talk of the petition caused the caar to order a second, thorough, unbiased-investigation. It made himpose faith in the previous misleading statements of his ministers —no more was needed to put a stop to .race persecution under official protection.

He says: "It is true that Mr. Hay called on; me June 28; but it was a friendly1 visit and entirely unofficial. The Manchuria n ports were mentioned during1 our conversation, but no definite arrangement was completed. The conversation was unite cordial, courteous; and friendly, but it did not go beyond that. I expect, however, that a mutually satisfactory understanding regarding -Manchuria n questions will1 eventually be reached between the two governments. "Regarding the Israelite petition, the United States government already knew that such a petition would not be received. No such petition would be received by any independent state. The United States, first of all. would not consent to any foreign interference in its domestic affairs. F r i g h t e n e d t h e Jury.

"I never heard of any one's coming across a wild dead bear or deer or wildcat or fox that had died from natural causes..

There had evidently been a fl£ht to t i e death between the reptile and the beast. "Another time I followed the trail of a bear from a clearing where it had stolen a half-grown lamb. I came upon the headless body of the lamb a mile or so cut on the trail, and a half mile further on, near the edge of a swamp, I was surprised to find the body of the bear. "Its Jaws were cpen, and Its glassy eyes were pushed far out of its head. I held a post-morten examination of the dead bear and found the lamb's head lodged in its throat. How or why the bear ever permitted It to get there I am unable to explain, "I have many times found other dead animals In the woods, but never one that did not show unquestionable evidence of having died from violence of some kind.

DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED Pe-ru-na Creating a National Sensation in the Care of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys. Major T. H. Mars, of the First Wisconsin Cavriry regiment, writes from 1425 Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the following letter : "For years 1 suffered with catarrh ot the kidneys contracted la the army. Medicine did not help me any until a comrade who bad been helped by Pe» runa advised me to try It I bought some at once, and soon found blessed relief. I kept taking It tour months, and am now well and strong and feel better than I have done for the patt twenty years, thanks to Peruna."— T> ft. Mars. At the appearance of the first symptom of kidney trouble, Peruna should be taken. This remedy strikes at once the very root of the disease. It at once relieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stagnant blood, preventing the escape of serum from the blood. Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumulating poison, and thus prevents the convulsions w h i c h a r e sure to follow if the poisons a r e allowed to remain. It gives g r e a t vigor to the heart's action and digestive system, both of which are apt to f a i l r a p i d l y in this disease.

Higby, the celebrated snake artist, has stimulated one of his personal friends and ardent admirers to tell a reporter sonetbing about him, The narrator says: "Some ten years ago I met Higby under conditions that were rather amusing. A friend desiring to get a decorative cover made, and being attracted by Mr. Higby's work, noting his name m the majority ot the popular theatre programs, requested me to call on him in reference to a sketch submitted by him. " Arriving at the address given, I started to climb to the top of the building and reaching tbe skylight floor noticed one corner draped in a black bamboo portiere, forming a vestibule within which was a large crated box. Approaching the inner door and knocking, a great rattling of chains caused me to look back at the box and wonder if it contained some wild animal, for I had known of artists who kept all sorts of peculiar pets. The door being open 1 found the noise bad been caused by a makeshift chain bolt and introducing myself, was ushered into the studio past the grinning skull of an ox and other wierd relics. Before I was hardly able to make my business known, Higby asked me if 1 was fond of snakes and without waiting for a reply stepped to the series of boxes at the side of the room and pulled out a large snake, six or seven feet in length and said: u Is not he a beauty?" "My surprise and fear silencing my tongue, he produced another, still larger; in t i e meantime haying hung the first one carelessly orv t ie back of a chair, and keeping this up until I was surrounded by six or more ot these large boa constrictors, in what was not at all a large room. "I expressed my admiration of course, and hoped as my time was limited he would permit me to examine them more closely at a later date for I really was very busy and could not stop there longer. I was about scared to death. He replaced them in the boxes and I finally succeeded in completing the object of my call. "Such was my first introduction to Higby. 1 thought him a crank, but later, having occasion to call, and overcome my tear, 1 became quite well . acquainted with him and his work, which was always characteristic of his ideas, never losing an opportunity of introducing either women or snakes in his productions. His paintings were always most artistic and beautiful in their color effects, and were much sought after. Many prominent hotels in New York have specimens ot his work displayed in their collections and rich connoisseurs have at least one or two of his works amona: the things they value most highly. He received his early training, as near as I can tell, in the art department of a Boston lithographer where the necessary commercial side of drawing was too confining to such a roving and fanciful disposition as his. At one time, having received a commission from a gentleman for a painting with a large female figure in the nude, he took his model and a snake and went off into the country where he was able to pose his model with a natural setting of the woods for a background, with the snake lcoped over the limb of a tree. I mention this incident to illustrate his devotien to art and nature. Of course there are only certain times of the year-when there is much demand for paintings such as be makes. The balance of his time he devotes to the commercial side of art in creating decorative designs and illustrations for commercial purposes. Not only is he a very artistic man but a good all round fellow and much sought in Bohemian circles, he being a true Bohemian himself.1' A F o l M f o f ( l i e ( t r e a t R a c o e i .

The Eskimos and the fishing Finns seldom shed tears, but when they do chemists say they are exceedingly salty. The chemical elements in the Caucasian tear arrange themselves into partides that look like fish bones, those from a negro's tear form a rude cross, while the same process of evaporation leaves the chemicals in an Eskimo's tear in the shape of a bow.

The Detroit Free Press has the following to say regarding Pain's "Ancient Rome'-' and fireworks which is being displayed at Jefferson Ave* and Waterworks, Detroit, for tljree weeks, Nero, Petronius, Seneca, Poppea and a score of historic forms last night appeared in all their dignity before a crowd of 7,000 people at Jefferson Ave. nnd Waterworks park who assembled to witness Pains spectacle of Ancient Home and the burning of the city. That the scenic and spectacular effects differed but little from those of the old time favorite, The last days of Pompeii, mattered not. There was enough of freshness in the iireworks display to catch the interest and ihe pantomime that preceded was sufficiently realistic to be truly instructive. The first thing to meet the glance of the spectator upon entering the enclosure is a panoramic view of a goodly portion of the eternal city with the aprthenon and the capitol rising in the background. There is the sound of music and the crowd composed of citizens, soldiers and lictore appear in the street. A little later comes Nero, monster of wickedness, and his wife. They with their companions join in an orgie and in the midst of it Nero, ascending the platform of a temple, sings a song. The sound of a trumpet is heard and a great procession cornea insight from he left. In front marches the lictors, the guards then the senators, then the imperial party followed by a line of soldiers. at the rear is seen a baud of Christians foll o w i n g the cross held in the hands of their loader. A series of games in the space before the temple follows and some really fine tumbling, acrobatic work aud parallel bar exhibits. A featjce of tins part of the performance is, however a tire ballet performed by six, women. The Emperor is then about to sacrifice the Christians and hag them brought before him, when the city is discovered to be on fire. Then follows the catastrophy which is sufficiently realistic. The fireworks which end the exhibition are fully up to anything ever presented before by Pain. in mm HE B, MeCktre The Great Germ and Insect Destroyer It the only germicide thrt will ps*M through the stomtch Into the intestines »nd from there InVfl the blood, perme»llD< tb« entire system fcnd still rctsJa Its germicidal properties.

Thirty-two lawyers in Chicago died last year. Where are those lawyers now? That long-advertised cloudburst in the Balkans is momentarily expected once more. Men who do not secretly take pride In well dressed wives have no business to have any. Falling from an airship is quite as exciting and far less dangerous than riding in a devil wagon. When a man is too busy to go fishing, he may not know it, but he is in a condition of slavery. The news that King Alfonso is betrothed to his cousin must be welcome to the republicans of Spain. A writer inquires: "Are the magazines declining?" We understand that they are, especially poetry. Every man who carries a watch is naturally behind time. That is, unless he carries it in his hip pocket It is easier to save a soul than to keep it saved, says Rev. Mr. Crandall, and most of UB will agree witL him King Peter is getting so used to it that they don't have to revive him with cold A'ater any more when a door slams. The future queen of Denmark is over six feet tall, and will, therefore, properly be addressed as "jour royal highness." The sufferer from dyspepsia should cheer up when he considers how much more he would suffer if his wife had dyspepsia. Port Xturoai Fire. The Bast Quay tstreet district In Port Huron was the aceno of a disastrous fire Saturday night, almost completely destroying the Jenk.8, Taylor, Howard & Co. lumber plant and planing mill and Dunford's upper dry dock, as well ua the tug Sigginson, entailing a loss close to $76,000. Fortunately the wind was blowing toward* the river and kept the flames from crossing the railroad tracks. Had it been blowing from the opposite way the destruction would haveb been far greater, as it.would have spread over a greater area and attacked a residence section and also placed ,the electric light plant on the south side of Black river in jeopardy. Flying embers were carried clear across St. Clair river and the Sarnia fire department was called out lo protect t h a t town's river frontage. The Jenks yard was well stocked with lumber, containing upwards of 2,000,000 feet of mixed grades, and with the exception of a small quantity west of the railroad all was swept away. The plant was located on the old Howard mill site, the buildings being owned by the Henry Howard estate and valued r.t about $3,000 with no insurance. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. A H o l d u p (.nnjc'M W o r k . Thursday night Rev. S. A. Wood, pastor of the Friends' church in Raisin Valley, was held up while driving his daughter to Adrian. The two assailants were enemies of the preacher simply bent on giving him a sound beating. He was hit over the head but not seriously hurt. C. (J. Knapp states that as he and his wife, who were driving home about 11 o'clock Friday night, near the western limits of the city a couple of fellows walked out into the road. They separated, one getting on each side of the buggy. Mr. Knapp whipped up his horse and they were unable to stop him, but as he passed them one of the fellows hit him on the back of the head" with what he belioves was a sandbag. A young man giving the name of Beaman a s - ' serts that he was held up about raidnight while driving with a lady. A fellow grabbed his horse's bit and attempted to tip the bugyy over near the corner of Main and Beecher streets. Beaman used the butt end of his whip with such good effect that the fellow finally desisted Lrom his efforts. Probably the trouble heretofore has been that everybody has been giving the mosquito the low d instead of the high one. Mrs. James Lovely, of Knoxville, Tenn., who is accused of poisoning her husband, pcarcely deserves the prefix "perfectly."

In quitting America to become an Englishman, Boufke Cockran knows very well that >n intends to re.nain every inch an Irishman. Slowly but surely the yellow brother is embracing civilization. The Chinese Iaundrymen organized and struck, and now there is a chop sucy trust. At a recent wedding in Ixmdon King Edward appeared wearing a red cravat with a frock coat, thus pulverizing the old tradition that the king can do no wrong. There is no use trying to drawmorals from Fourth of July accidents. Those who were hurt need no mentor, and those who escaped have no desire for one. Lou Dillon is within two seconds of the trotting record, now held by Cresceus, the great Toledo stallion. Who says that the ladies are not asserting their rights? An expert has discovered that the extraction of teeth causes blindness. The experience of humanity has seemed to be the other way, if seeing stars counts for anything. A Boston laborer has fallen heir to ¢2,000,000. Before enrying him think of the trouble he will have in getting away from the people who want to show him how to invest it. A Philadelphia millionaire in his will left $50 to each of his three children. It must be a sad thing to work hard all his life for a fortune and have only $150 worth of children to leave it to. Life insurance companies have warned policy holders in Milwaukee's county jail that the building is uasafe and that they must leave or have their policies canceled. And yet some of them may not leave. A Waterbury (Conn.) man named Harris fell asleep during the performance at Barnum & Bailey's' circus, and was robbed of his gold watch.

Often the wildest colt turns out to be the most valuable horse. Some spinsters envy wives and some wives envy spinsters. When a man buys a porous plaster he general sticks to his bargain. In the race of life it doesn't take poverty long to overtake lazinesc. The average man likes to head a public parade of his own good works. Sometimes what is regarded as a pious life is merely a contemplative one. There are women who wouldn't enjoy a mai'slon in heaven unless they could clean house every six weeks.

Regarding the removal of State Tax Oomrulssloncrs F r ^ u m u and Sayren, who furnlNhod the railroad* with utttduvita, which will bo vojuable in the t*uit against the atute, Gov> Bliss ttays: "While 1 do not uphold their action in signing the affidavits at the instance of the railroad companies, w h o are contesting taxes levied upon their property under the ad valorem law, nothing has been made to appear t h a t it constitutes legal cause for removal. In a hearing with these gentlemen I made it plain to them that they had offended against propriety and if they had consulted me I do not think t h e eoi /lulKKloiuTd would have signed auy uttidnvllt*. I do not believe that the railroads will profit auy by the i'uet tlmt these affidavits have twen obtained. I^t me say right here that nothing will be left undone on the part of the state in the line of securing equal and exact .justice in the railroad cases, and the interests of the state will be protected at every stage of the contest to determine what is right. It is for the courts to determine whether the state or the railroads have the correct position and Attorney-General Blair will IK? given every possible assistance lie may need. No application on his part has been denied except the request for the removal of Commissioners Freeman and Sayre, and had it developed t h a t there wss anything approaching • malfesance or misfeasance their removal would have been .speedllv accomplished. T h e Attorney Oeneral'M View. Regarding the governor's deoislou us to the removal of State Tux' Commissioners Freeman and Sayre, Attorney- General Blair says: "The final decision is witli the governor." ho said, "and I shall take no further steps in the matter, in my judgment there was sufficient eause for removal; the governor holds a different opinion, and it is for the governor to decide. Ever since I got in the C a s e s it has seemed that Freeman and Say re were at all time-* solicitous for the railroads. They had a great deal to say about injustice to the companies, but they did not talk much alioul: the interests of the people. 1 consider the affidavits simply :i« a public showing of the sentiments .which ihey had entertained all along. If 1 could have looked upon their action as an indiscretion. I would have] been disposed to have overlooked it. ! But in ni\ judgment there is e v i d e n c •sufficient: for their removal from ollice. I Their eont.imianeo in ollice will h a v e ! no bearing upon the case, They h a v e ' done ail the harm that it is in t h e i r ' power to do, and of course 1 ?hall pro- : cent independently of lb in." i No State 10nr:nii|mn*nt.

That the scenic and spectacular effects differed but little from those of the old time favorite, The last days of Pompeii, mattered net. There was enough of freshness in the fireworks display to catch the interest and the pantomime that preceded waa sufficiently realistic to be truly instructive. THE SWEEP RAKE. A Ueefnl Aypllau«'« In t h e F i r l d l i a u - diUttf Ut Hlijr. The llluaSBntlon show* H sweep rake used by a Country Gontjeman correspondent He stiy*: The rake or one similar to it I hava used for years. Two 1101*868 pull It and draw two cocks at once, Each cock contains about two rake loads as raked into the windrow. I thought to rake the hay from the swath to the derrick at the rick. I found this would not do, as the double aarpoon fork wouhd not lift dry, short olover hay to any advantage, and, more than this, the rake wasted too much hay by rubbintf'it on the ground from the swath to the rick. I thought trt tute a Bllng, but found I could not on account of the work mentioned. Hence the most practical way to handle the clover hay was to cock it and allow rt to settle at least overnight before stacking. I have in the main, except for stacking purposes, in the past used a revolving rake In the field. I prefer it to the spring tooth because I can slip over trash on the ground that the spring tooth would gather up. For cocking up for the derrick 1 found by force of circumstances that the revolving rake would not make the windrows large enough to build cocks the size desired without carrying the hay too far when cocking. A neighbor borrowed my revolving rake for two hours' use and returned It wrecked beyond useful repair. This mishap forced me to use the sweep rake for making the windrows. I would pull the rake as far as the horses could pull it, then turn the horses and pull the rake backward to the starting point and then pull up again. I found that two rake loads would make a large cock; that when drawn to the stack it would make oftentimes two horse fork loads for the derrick to put on the stack. Cocks made from the windrows of the revolving rake would only make one small horse fork. load. I found it impossible with these small cocks, to keep the stacking force going. The large cocks made from the windrows of the sweep rake, pulled two at a time to the stack with the sweep rake, made it easy to keep the force in hay, and I SWEEP OR TWO HOBSB KAKOB. found them no trouble to handle wKh the fork after they had been standing overnight. The bill of lumber and expense of the long rake Is as follows: Headpiece pine, 1 Inches by 18 feet=22 1 %et. at $2.80 $0.60 I plank 1 by 8 inches by 18 feet=l£ feet, at 11.80 20 12 teeth 1¼ by 3 inches, at 6c. e»ch 60 II H by 4 Inch bolts, at 4 l-6c SO I H b y S Inch bolU, at 6c 10 Carpenter work 1.50 Total $3.50 Three upright stakes are set in the headpiece to keep the hay from slipping over. The long plank is to put over the ends of teeth and bolts put through at teeth and headpiece. The teeth are notched into the headpiece, the notch being deeper toward the point of the teeth. The ends of the teeth should sharp and slope on the under side toward the point. This prevents tlieir catching In the ground as they are weighted with the load. The teeth should not be made to fit in the headpiece too tight, us if allowed to play a litt-ie up and down when at work they will follow the surface better and not be so apt to catch in the ground or run over the hay. The horses are attached one at each end by a light chain, which should be at least seven and a half feet long, The horses should not be allowed to get in front of the teeth. When drawing empty the rake should be pulled backward. The rapidity with which it can be worked depends very much on the skill of the boys who ride the horses. The land should be smooth and free of stones and stumps. Raaty Spot In Cheese. As soon as an outbreak of "rusty spot" Is noticed in cheese It is well, according to the Geneva (N. Y.) experiment station, to use cheese color quite freely, as the spots if small can usually be concealed by the use of annotto and the cheese marketed without loss. This Is in no sense an injury to the consumer, since neither flavor nor texture of the cheese is affoctod by either the Spots or color. N e w * a n d Mote*.

Peaches, pears and plums should be thinned tor fine fruit and a vigorous tree. The angumois grain moth appeared last season for the first time in the wheat fields and granaries of Michigan. The percentage of abandoned acreage in all the important winter wheat growing states is unusually small, the abandonment, including the area to be' cut for hay, reaching 100,000 acres only In Kansas, Texas and California.

They enter the general market solely in the kiln dried form. They ure small, comma shaped, light yellow brown particles of an agreeable nutty odor and crisp texture. ' When fed dry they are frequently refused by cows. If soaked some hours before feeding they are often better relished.
