Although we have lived here twelve years this was the first time we have had the pleasure of the trip and must admit that we were well pleased. There is no place where one cannot run a flat-bottomed row boat easily and the scenery well pays for the trip. One cannot help but wish however that some "places could beso that small steamers could dreaged ply between the junctions as Lakeland and the Bluffs making tbe different camping places on the way, some of which resemble small villages.

THAT ANNUAL PICNIC THE USUAL BIG CROWD ATTENDS THE St. MAPI'S PICNIC. Oyer 500 Fed at the Heavily Laden Tables. T h e " F i t c h " A q u a t i c C r e a m S e p a r a t o r * If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in tempertnre aud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have readv for the next {milking. v Taking it all in all, it saves the women's work, coats lees than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks; cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

Sold on trial and warranted by TEEPLE & CADWELL On Thursday last everyone for miles around came to the annual Picnic of St. Mary's parish and tbe biggest crowd was fed that bad been for years. The excellent program was carried out with the exception that W. C. Maybury of Detroit failed to put in an appearance. The reason for which will be found on this page. The stands were well patronized as well, as the Mcdocks were much sport was se*;n in the skill of some to knock down a modock. However as every three balls counted a nickel to the sorietv, skill did not cut much figure. The ball game was hotly contested, but as the ground was very uneven the score was high as it was impossible to catch "grounders." Stockbridge came off the field with tbe scalp of Iosco to the tune of 28 to 23. While the score was large the game was interesting and everyone got their moneys worth. The dance in the evening was largely attended at the 'opera house and was a source of revenue, and the young people enjoyed the evening. Altogether the picnic was attended with tbe usual success and the church netted about $350. Ed Bow era was borne for tbe picnic Aug. 15. Lucy Cnlbano is visiting in Dexter this week. A.

A dispatch had come oyer the wires aaylng that a special was coming from the east and thai a double-header would be needed to carry It over the grades. Daa Beard's No. 20 could climb a tree, and the big fellow got his orders to make the run. It was getting close to starting time and Johnny Coleman, Dan's fire boy, was growing anxious. Dan bad not shown up all morning, He was not at German Joe's, nor around the station. The dispatcher was standing in the sua looking at his watch and swearing safely to himself. He was Just on the point of putting another man on No. 20, when something white caught his eye on the hill-path that runs above the cut As it came nearer he saw It was Mollle, and right behind was Dan, clumsily picking his way over the stones. At the station Dan called out: "All ready," to 'the dispatcher, looking rather sheepish and strangely happy. "Remember, Dan," spoke Mollie, as No. 20 began to move. "Not another drop, little girl. Not another " and ie waved a brown fist hack at the girl, a the tender bumped over the BWitch to the main track. And not until the big machine dwindled to a mere bug in the distance did Mollie turn her back and disappear in the doorway. That night the special from the east was late. It crept into Lamy with one engine and that engine was not No. 20. The little knot that gathered in curiosity on the platform felt in their hearts something was impending. Johnny Coleman limped up, his head bandaged in white cloth, and looking weak and sick. "Where's Dan?" asked a little woman with a face very white. Johnny Coleman did not answer, but looked uneasily away. They were lifting something very gently from the baggage car to lay it on the platform. Johnny told as briefly as possible the details. "Making up time, we left the track at the culvert," he said. "I jumped clear, but Dan didn't get out in time. When we got him from beneath he was pretty bad. And—r" (someone was crying very softly over where Dan lay.) Johnny continued: "I guess we could ha' pulled 'im through at that But he wouldn't take the whisky we give him. " 'Ain't drinking, Johnny; not another drop,' was all he said, and then he sort o' turned over like a tired little kid and—I 'spose that's when he died." . . NO CHECK RK1N ON HORSES. The Girl of Lamy. ' BY H. A. CALLAHAN. '(Copyright, 19M. by Daily Story Pub. Co.; Just a handful of wooden houses in *fjssny, thrown together as if by tite haphazard hand of a careless God into 'the little pocket of the mountains that 'stand like priests around the city of •Santa Fe. Here it is that the dust «gray coaches which thunder in from .Arizona on the west, meet their brothtars from the east and exchange for a few brief moments the greetings of the way. Of course, the red clap-board eatingbouse and station are the main attractions during these arrivals and present fScenes of unwontod activity to those accustomed to the aching solitude of •the place by day or its blinking dreaminess beneath the stars at night. No one distinctly remembers Just <when or how the Girl became an insti- JL New Face Behind the Counter. Csdon at Lamy. However, they do reinemher that one September morning some years back there was a new face fcehindxthe counter in the eating-house: * face framed in dull gold hair and lighted by two blue-gray eyes, which rgssnod forever on the brink of laughter. The boys who made their home 4n the tittle clap-board affair used to »«alMier Mollie; but it was a name of -^festfr ewm devising and so* accepted *L a*«be did many other little things. with an inscrutable smile that puzzled, yet meant nothing. When the crews would come in from a heavy climb. soaked to the bone with rain and sleet, the Girl was there in a motherly way, with a stiff three fingers of whisky and a supper that lifted them clear of their weariness. Or, if on a Saturday night, the sounds of a brawl would flaunt down on the still air the Girl would walk over to German Joe's in a business- like way and scatter the drunkest of them with a quiet word and an admonnitory jerk of the sleeve that sent them sneaking out like coyotes. Then, perhaps, she would stand and smile In the doorway with her hair blowing in the wind, her eyes speaking more plainly than words that a new era had begun in Lamy. Her sway was absolute. And it was not long before every fireboy and throttle-man on the Division had had his own individual experience, tamed by the graceful slip of a girl with g9lden hair, who seemingly came from nowhere—the Angel of the Grade. This was all before Dan Beard happened in. Dan was from the Colorado hills and no angel. They had put him first on the little bunt line that runs crazily over the hills to Santa Fe. Then he was shifted to the main lins for relay, work and became a fixture at Lamy. Dan was six feet one, brown as leather and as tough, and incidentally iould drink more whisky than any man this side of Phoenix. He spent his mornings against the bar in German Joe's place, cursing out the road, from the president down. Then about ten minutes before his run began be would shuffle over to his machine and get his orders. When these were duly scanned Dan would open up No. 20 gently and sneak out of Lamy like a snake, but before the whistling post was passed he had her galloping over the rails like a frightened thing and bellowing like a bull. He became notorious as the most reckless devil on Jhe road, and everybody said that sooner or later there would be a smash somewhere up in the hills and Dan Beard would get off the line forever. But the smash didn't seem to come, and Dan's mad way continued. Then a change came. It was almost imperceptible. But gradually Dan dropped sway from the whisky and bade fair to quit It altogether. He didn't take the grades so fast and slackened up on the curves almost like the rest. Some said it was "Mollie.'* Some said ihe Division Superintendent Nobody ever really knew." That night was a lonely vigil in Lamy and along in the early dawn they buried Dan Beard. He's up there near the hill-path that runs above the cut, and can hear the 100 tonners climbing up the grade. And sometimes when the boys give the long blast for the Junction they just pull a Bhort one for Dan—the worst man on the Division. If you are ever down that way, drop in on the girl at the eating-house. She's not very stylish, and I guess perhaps her talk is a bit western, but somehow or other they seem to think flftwasflui KQv VU- - "Where's Dan?" pretty well of her in Lamy. And, b> the way, they don't call her "Mollie'; any more. It's just Dan Beard's girl— the Girl at Lamy. A Cosmopolitan Army. The conflict between the Germant and Czechs in Austria-Hungary, which deserves Secretary Seward's appellation of "the irrepressible conflict,' makes interesting a study of the elements composing the army of thai country, which consists of' 428,00( Slavs, 227,000 Allemands, 120,000 Magyars. 48,000 Roumanians and 14,00( Italians. The Slavs are made up oi 174,000 Czechs, 76,000 Poles, 75,00(^ Ruthenians, 75,000 Croatians find Ser vians and 28,000 Slavonians. New York the Sunniest City. New York claims to be the sunnies. of the large cities.

He said that not only were the horses allowed the use of their heads, but they were free from this torture of high reining. There Is much meat for thought in this. The question is naturally asked, Why is it necessary to rein horses up at all? If reining is necessary in order to make the animal more useful, then it is extremely peculiar that horses in Washington do their work so well without it. Surely there is no difference between horses in Roanoke and horses in Washington when it comes to that. In fact, it is against common reason to argue that a horse or any other animal is worth more with hia head doubled back at right angles to its natural position. That being so, the practice of reining must come from a desire to be in style, a desire which is, to say the least, in this case, somewhat inconsistent, as styles change. They have changed in Washington, but the check rein is still answering its fiendish, cruel purpose here in Roanoke. One would think that people who are so zealous in following the fashions In the henght of the collars, the shape of their shoes and the size of the trousers at the knee would pay some attention to the fashion in regard to reining. They appear to believe it to be incumbent upon them to bob their horses' tails. That is purely a fad. Why not take up another as well? Horsemen discourse upon the advantages of high reining on the trotting courses. They perhaps know what they are talking about, but one docs not see them driving their thoroughbreds over the country roads or leaving them standing for hours in the sun with their heads drawn back. If asked they would most likely say that a horse which is worth having will hold its head up without artificial props, and that it is usually the cheap plug that owners are trying to prod into some sort of show that has to be reined in order 10 pass for more than a baggage wagon hack.—Roanoke (Va.)

To melons, which also were valued in ancient days, a new fruit has been added —the orange. This and the grape are now the most important products of Palestine, though the exports of the former have declined considerably in value during the last few years. Jaffa oranges, however, maintain their reputation, so that it may be hoped that the depression is only temporary.. Southern Palestine has always been noted for its vineyards. Of the principal Jewish colonies in the Jaffa district, Richon-le-Slon, Petach-Tikvah, and Ekron, on the supposed/ site of the Philistine city which last received the fatal trophy of the ark, the first is the chief one for grape growing. A fourth colony, Sarona, also near Jaffa, Is German. In all these agriculture, and especially everything connected with wine-making, is conducted on scientific principles, and the first and last have become really important centers in the trade. Richon-le-Slon has excellent works and machinery for the manufacture of wine, and great underground cellars for its storage. These last year contained about 1,100,- 000 gallons, in addition to a considerable quantity which is always kept in depot at Hamburg. Their Huge Alrtlg-ht Compartments Are Always Kept Sealed. For transportation of petroleum over sea steel tank ships are made for both crude and refined oil, says a writer in the Cosmopolitan. Most of the crude oil exported goes to France and Spain, where it is treated in local refineries, the duty imposed on refined oil by those countries being practically prohibitive. For the Oriental trade the oil is shipped in cases—two five-gallon cans crated together constituting a "case"—on sailing vessels, as the voyage around the Horn takes from 116 to 176 days, far too long a course for steam vessels. But the trans-atlantic trade is chiefly carried on in tank steamers, huge steel shells in which almost the entire" space "In the hull is devoted to carrying oil in bulk. There is a small dry compartment in the bows for ordinary freight and the crew's living quarters are put at the extreme stem, with the engines immediately forward of them. The rest of the hull is divided into from twelve to twenty air tight compartments, each of which has a capacity of about 140,- 000 gallons. The largest tank ship carry nearly 2,500,000 gallons and so powerful are the pumps by which they are controlled that such cargo can be taken on board or delivered within six hours. As these airtight compartments are kept hermetically sealed from port to port—Instead of being closed only lu an emergency, as on an ocean liner —the oil tank ships are the stanchest vessels afloat, and many a handsome sum in salvage have they earned for their owners by towing into port a vessel disabled in a storm.

The robber chleitain had been placed in one of the onost gloomy dungeons beneath the royal palace, his legs and arms loaded with chains, and his feet ehacklKd to ii bull In the fluoi.—Howlong he had been there he could not tell. Night and day were the same in the living tomb. iFood and.drink had been brought to him thrice, and a masked urate had been in to remove the tray. He Iliad butione hope of escape, and even t h a t was so feeble that It would not 'bear the entertainment. He thought it hie followers should discover where h s was, they might, possibly dare to attempt his release; but when he came to weigh all the circumstances, he dared not think they would do it. In-short, Julian had made up his mind that death was very near to him. And what hafi Ihe to live for? What, but revenge upon the King .of Damasmus? He had no parents—no relatives— nothing «an earth of his own blood which be could .claim. There might be living hi the city some .human being of tifcs kin; but he did not know of such. He loved his brave fellows; but they could do Without him. They were bold, stout men, and could look for themselves. W h a t else was there? There were -some :poor families in the mountains—some friends upon the plain—and a .few dependent ones near the xiver; but Hobaddan would care i o r litem. What else was there? The youthful chletttatn bowed !his head, and pressed hte heavily laden hands upon his heart. There was one mores—one whom he bad hoped to see again in the coming time^—one who had left an impression in Ibis soul which had warmed and quickened -his whole being. But why think of her? What could the beautiful daughter *ff Aboul Cassem be to him? In a few short days she would be the wife of his bitterest enemy. Thus mused the prisoner, standing erect, with his manacled hands folded upon his boaom, when he was aroused from his reflections by the sound of creaking bolts, and in a few moments more the door of his dungeon was opened, and the rays of a lamp penetrated the placs. Two men entered, closing the door after them; but the eyes of the chieftain were not yet used enough to the light to distinguish either thoir forms or features. Presently, however, as they addressed each other, he recognized the two/ blacks who had so fatally deceived him, and his first impulse was to raise hi* heavy chains and smite them down; but they were not near enough to be thus reached. "Osmir—3€lim," he said, "are you here?" "Yes, my master," replied' Oomir. "Have you come to kill me?" "No." "To bear me to the kin*?." "Yet," "And fee kins fears not to trust mr **Yo« see he doe* trust us." "Aye—as I trtoeted you. 0 , you are t w o ungrateful villains. When you c a m to me i n the forest* I believed your tale of woe, and took pity upon you: and I meant to he kind to you, « u d make your lot a pleasant one. I looked into your faces, and I thought you were honest. I did not trust you from your speech, but from your honest looks. However, it is past. And now what seek ye V "Good master," said Osmir, speaking earnestly, "before I tell you why we are now here, let me say to you that W4 are not without hearts, and that we have some store of honesty. Wfeen we went to your camp, we went in the service of another master, whom we were bound to serve. We had sworn that we would capture you if we could. But, sir, after we had seen you, and known you, we would have recanted had the thing been possible. We asked Judah to free us from the task, but he refused." "Why do you tell me this story now?" "That_y_ou may know the reason of our action." "You action speaks for itself. Look at these chains; and mark the fate to which I am doomed.'* "I meant not the action of the past, good master; I alluded to action that was to come." "Action to come?" "Yes. Selim and I are here to speak of your release from this dungeon. Hold—let our words be few, for the time is short. We have promised that we would lead you forth from Horam's power if the thing wjsre possible.", "Promised whom?" asked Julian. The black hesitated. He knew not that he should use the name of the princess, so he finally answered: "Hobaddan is in the city, and our promise has been sent to him. But— there is something more. If we lead you from this place, we do so in the face of great danger. We have planned for that, and have freely staked our lives In the work. But, if we succeed, and you are free, we can never more return to Damascus. If we go with you from this dungeon, we must go with you from the city, and remain with you." Julian believed that the black was speaking truly and honestly. "Certainly," be said, "If you lead me Tn safety from the bonds that now encompass me, I will give you such return as you may desire. You may remain with me, if you like, or I will give you safe conduct into the land of the Syrians." "Your word is enough, my master; and henceforth Selim and I are your servants. We change our allegiance, and the proof of our fidelity shall be manifest in this first act of our service. We have dangers to meet, sir." "Talk not of dangers," cried the chieftain. "Throw off these chains; give me a sword; and lead me to the upper world; and I ask no more. Once again I trust you, and if you prove true, my gratitude shall be your while I live?" Without further words Osmir proceeded to the work he had come to perform. Selim held the lantern, while he loosed the Irons from Julian's limbs; and very soon the chieftain stepped forth.witn his limbs free. "There is no time to waste," said Osmir, as he cast,the chains upon the floor. We have good swords at hand, and for the rest we must trust to our wit and strength. There is danger enough between this dungeon and the open air; but I am ready to meet it." "By the godc," cried- Julian, as he grasped the sword which Osmir had placed in his hand.' "I can laugh at danger now. Lead on, and let this present hour be the last of Horam's power:t »» (To be continued.) "What, then? You have the watch over mc?" A Ring-Necked Tribe. An officer of native troops was ou outpost duty -at Fort Stedman, in the Shan Highlands. Burmah, and was sent on an expedition to a wild part oif the interior, where presumably foot o f white man had never trod before. Here he came across a tribe called "Paloungs." He observed the women were decorated with curious coils of brass around neck, arms and legs, and , on inquiry found.that it was a canon of unwritten law that all the higher- grade ladies be thus adorned. He was horrified to be an eye witness of the operation, the coils being put on a young girl of 12, who lay shrieking and firmly held to the grourid while the rods were bent and hammered on. The neck coll has the effect of a gigantic spring, elongating the muscles into a curious deformity. Each well-born ringed lady has a child following her with a pannikin of water, when in hot sun, to sprinkle the coil, as the brass gets intolerably hot, and festers * the skiu into horrible sores. This is one of the most curious customs ever heard of and in spite of the pain is willingly adhered to, as showing high rank la the wearer.—London Sunday Magazine.

DISPATCH OFFICE, Detroit's Bicentenlal closes in a Blaze of fcllorj. I n his fondest dreams Monsieur Cadillac thought to leave as an heritage the lands granted him by the King of France ftt tho beautiful city of the straits. But such was not to be, and we read the new popular book "A daughter of New France" perhaps we can find some reason for this in the prophecy given by Father Estienne the grand old missionary priest who gave his life to care for the souls of tho Iudians at Wichilimackinac. One intensely cold stormy evening while Monsier de Cadifiac lived at Mackinaw he received a call from the priest who took him to task for bringing from Montreal the strong waters that steal the tongue and brains and render useless the hands of men. He said to him "formerly when the Iudians returned from t h e chase, t h e fisheries, their louj trapping expeditions they repaired first to the church to render thanks to heaven. Now, look you to-day a large baud came in with haste to outrun the approaching storm. You beheld the goodly showing they made with their peltries and what next Monsieur de Cadilac? The trader took a cask of braudy into their village and proposes a game of bowl. The stakes to be drams of liquor against their furs. Finally all the fuTS have been gambled away; poor as when they went into the woods at the beginning of the win ter. The Indians reel from the lod^e or sink down upon the floor. What have you to say to this Monsieur de Cadilac? What have I to say? I deem it necessary that the strength upon whose labors the prosperity of the settlement largely depends shall be forfieted by a small meRSure of brandy. If the dogs.of Indians drink to excess, surely I am uot tc blame. "Monsieur le Commandant I make no comment upon your theory as far as it concerns the officers and soldiers of the garrison. F o r myself I never touch spirits believing example to be more potent than precept,' answered the missionary. And, at least, the drink that the Indians so aptly name "fire-water" is not necessary for them. Our lake Indians their fathers before them, their grandsires back to their remote ancesters have en dured the rigors the climate, the exposure of trapping expeditions, have broken the ice of the straits to spear fish for food, and yet have managed to exist without the drink wherewith you have taken so much trouble to provide for them. "There is no contingency which justifies the doing of even a little wrong," said Father EBtienne with dignity. "I ask yon is the work of the fouuder of this mission and that of the misionaries who came after him, down to this day, is all this to be undone? Have we opened the way here for your only that you may set in the path of the Indian a temptation that be knew not hitherto, that with your accursed strong waters you should debase him beneath t h e level of the brute creature?" In a towering rage Cadilac sprang to his feet. " I will not brook such speech" he said hotly. "As co this matter understand me your business here is to christianize the red men mid to minister to the spiritual needs of the white settlers of post as best you may. I furnish brandy to t h e Indians because I think best to do so." Father Estienne retained his self control as he replied, "You are the commandment here and I recognize your oivil authority; but as to this beiug the end of the matter I t issue between us, I warn yon that ench is very far from, the case. If, either for the sake of personal gaiu or commercial enterprise, you continue, as now, ever ready ¢0 quench the savage thirst you have aroused with the potion of death, the insidnous fire water—if you permit them to be barter not only fuis but their immortal souls for a dram,—believe me retribution will come, You may grow rich, Sieur Cadilac,—ay you will rich" "ay" h e repeated, in the same clear modulated tones the Indians loved, "you will grow from here you will establish a fine colony; moneys and lands„and honors will be yours; but beware, there will come a day when these honors and possessions will pass from you, your friends will turn against you, you will die in poverty, your children will be friendless and no one of your name will remain in the city you will found." As he uttered these words the hand of the consecrated priest fell to his side, the light of prophecy died out of his eyes and again h e became the humble missionary. "I have said what I came to say" he added quietly. Forthwith he threw his furcoat about his shoulders, drew his capouch over his head, flung open the door and passed out into the darkness and sleet, leaving as uncomfortable a storm behind him.

Some bright young chemist can iiake a wad of money by getting the privilege of working the claim and this privilege can be obtained very cheaply. This mine is located between the Armory and the Savings Bank building, on the property lately acquired by the D., Y., A. A. & J. Ry. for i-s waiting room. The find was made Tuesday. For many years there has been a photograph gallery located in the west store of the Savings Bank block. Lewis, Gibson & Clark and later Berryman have in turn had their studios there. The principal chemical used in makphotographic negatives is silver m^ato. It man expensivechemical by reason of the precise white metal being the base of the combination. For years and years the silver nitrate washings from the developing room have been allowed to pass down through a pipe and into an old unused cistern located ou the vacant lot above referred to, The cister n has cement walls and bottom, so that nothing could get away except by evaporation. The bottom of this cistern U now covered to a considerable thickness with sediment mostly comingfrom the photographer's developing room. This sediment has been examined and has been found to be very rich with silver.

We do l o t believe in deep cultivation for corn after it has grown more than three or four Inches high. By that time it has begun to seed its roots out; bence to work the soil deep after this has begun is to break those roots and to check the growth. There may be a period in the growth of a plant or tree when a root pruning is beneficial, but so little is known about it that we do not care to experiment with It in a haphazard way. But in a year like the present ^deep cultivation is likely to break more corn roots than-ID a rtry and warmer season. The corn root nevus FOR SMALL INVESTORS.

Working the soil as deep as the' manure used, will make it fertile before planting the seed and as thoroughly as possible after the corn begins to grow, but not more than three inches deep between the rows, and in a season like this we would prefer not to go more than two inches deep, says American Cultivator. — B r i n g yotrr—job work t o office.

With the smallest amount of capital one can go into the business, especiallj if there is a suitable place at band foi the work. One can rent a small poul try farm and then learn by experience, even raising fruits and vegetables the first few years,to help pay the expenses ef living. Ultimately.* however, the ambition should be placed on chicken and egg raising for the purpose of mas tering it as a specialty. L e t o n e beginjMtli«M)hegsand find out the first season what can be done with that" number. From this stock he can prepare his next 'season's increase without further callingjupou his capital. By method of exchange of eggs with neighbors near or* distant new blood can b£ introduced, and there will not be much danger of close inbreeding. In many places there is a -regular system of exchange of eggs in this way, and a t very little expense new breeds are constantly being added. From the 50 hens of the first season the flock can be increased to 200 for the second. If you have been successful with the f>0, you are probably prepared the second year to handle 200. especially if proper houses and yards have been prepared in advance. That is very essential, and throughout' the whole development of the business never neglect to increase the quarters of the hens and chickens in proportion to their increase in numbers. "With plenty of accommodations and fair success the second year the beginner might well increase his stock to 500 for the third year. The fourth year he mijjht go up to 700 or 800 and the fifth season round out the business with an even 1,000. When you have reached that number, the plant is a pretty good sized one, and its further increase must be made gradually. There are poultry farms ef 5.000 and 10,000 hens, but the owners have learned by careful experience hew to handle such numbers in the most economical way. Any beginner, of course, can grow up to such proportions if be lias the push and go and the "good business common sense which enables him to raise and sell to the best possible advantage, concludes an American Cultivator correspondent.

Sow Abort the Middle of Jr.ly. I have been sowing tur.nip seed in my cornfield for nearly 50 years. On« year I sowed 30 pounds of seed on 30 acres and harvested about 10,000 bushels of turnips and a good crop of corn, says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer. Plant the conn in straight rows and keep the cultivator going until about the middle of July. Mien'sow the turnip seed directly after the last cultivation. If two or three dashing showers fall in a week or so. no covering is needed. If my ground is ready and showers are in prospect I hasten to sow my seed. If no rain comes, the seed must be lightly covered, much as you would clover seed. Two »r three boards fastened together and drawn between the rows of corn cover__the seed very nicely. A strap leaved turnip ef the best variety will grow almost 'anywhere provided the plant can get a start. I want my tunnips for feeding all the way from September to February, and I want a lot of them. Bushel for bushel they are worth more than mangels during this time.

One federal officeholder recently made an appeal for screens for the building_ where he worked, saying that within a hundred yards were three livery stables, one mule boarding house, one horse sanitarium with operating table, and one fish morgue. He added that his handwriting had been spoiled by the constant endeavor to write and keep off flies at the same time. He had pasted ten sheets of sticky flypaper, and while they carried off thousands of victims they seemed to occasion no vacancies in the ranks of the survivors. The pathetic appeal was in vain.

This point, says a writer in Lippincott's, wa£ urged in a heated discussion between an ardent supporter of Douglas and a German voter who favored Lincoln. Finally the former, thinking to overwhelm his opponent,' said: "Who is this Lincoln, anyhow? Nobody ever heard of him until Senator Douglas brought him into notice by holding a joint debate with him. Senator Douglas, on the other hand, is a great statesman. Why, he has had his eye on the presidential chair for the last ten years!" "Vot is dot you say?" was the reply.

The Strike. The steel workers were rejoicing Saturday over tho fact that the MK- . wnukee workers in the Bay View plant of the Illinois Steel Co. decided to strike. though there were reports that the MeKeosport men might go back to their work, thus adding a weakening of forces in the east. It in , „ said that the plant at Bay View will ^ be shut down indefinitely and about 1,- 400 men will be thrown out of work. Leaders of the Amalgamated association declare the action o f ^ i b e Bay' LVicjvy. men will h a v e a u "important _ _ l»earlng upon the sltuatlbn. They claim that South Chicago will be influenced, in the same direction. Of the 1.400 men who were employed at the Buy View mills, 21!> belong to the Amalgamated association. They are the tonnage nien. Besides the union men, there were 200 other skilled men employed. The engineers and roll turners formerly belonged to the Anialganuited association and are in symp a t i c with them. Employment was given to 1.000 unskilled men. 200 of whom worked In the bldst furnaces. The wages paid the men who have gone out of this plant amounted, to $1)0,000 per month. The news that the Bay View men were to stand by the Amalgamated association was a surprise to the South Chicago workers. Some in the streets declared that at Inst the local workers would be forced to quit. There were others, however,^ who asserted that it was too late now to act. Should they strike now, It was declared, the Amalgamated association would see to it that they were taken back at less pay than when they quit, The now« that the Milwaukee men had decided to cast their fortunes with the strikers, supplemented by the wir ed announcement that the steel men in tho Riverside plant at Wheel lug had voted to strike, awakened new enthusiasm in the ranks of the Amalgamated 'association and It?* followers In Pittsburg. Tliere is a strong possibility that there will be an early break in the ranks of the strikers at McKeesport. Many of the unorganized men have become dissatisfied and make no secret of their threat to go boldly back to the National Tube Co. and ask for their places just'as soon as they gain sufficient following to withstand pressure from the strikers or are given a gunrant< • of personal protection. Several of them, in stating their position, say that they have everything to lose and ncViing to gain by staying out. They are merely out in ah effort to strengthen the. hand of the Amalgamated association. When tlie con-test ends, they say. they can see nothing in it for them but loss of wages and possibly a loss of place. The great western works of th<w American Tin Plate Co. at Joliet never will be reopened. This declaration was made by a representative of the combine located In Joliet. His statement ho said was based on positive information, although he declined to pive his authority. Following the utterance came news of the transfer of the general manager and of the foreman of the plant to other places. The Do^vasrer-EmpreHi'C Hnnlmrul. A story lias reached Paris that Emperor William of Germany has conferred upon Count Von Seekendorff, the alleged husband of tho dowager empress, the grand cordon of the Hohenzollern Family Order. This is regarded as a tactful act of mollification on the part of his majesty. Seckendorfi'. though bitterly protesting, was not permitted to exercise the rights of a husband, to act as chief mourner at the services over the empress' remains. He defied the kaiser and threatened to appeal to the law of Prussia for protection. The kaiser is now fearful of seandnls. He has become unusually j sensitive on this point, and very nut *• urally sees that the biggest scandal of all concerning the royal family of Germany would be in exposures by Count Yon Seckendorff. Hence this decoration, a most unusual one to be conferred on any but a meml>er of royalty. TIJC kaiser has forbidden the Berlin journals to discuss tho matter. A Cleveland Horror. Fire caused by a boiler explosion,, early Wednesday, destroyed a Cleveland temporary water works crib two miles out In Lake Erie, resulting In the death of at least 10 men, while two others were probably fatally Injured. In addition to a large nnmber of workmen, who were In tne crib. I t others were nt work In the tnnnel leading from*It 200 feet below the bottom of the lake. As air which was pumped from the crib to supplyvthe men working In the tunnel was cut off as a result of its destruction, It "was' at first supposed that these had all perished. Subsequently, however, nine "were rescued after heroic work on the part of fellow workmen.

So be acquired the tittla In war. .There to a contingency which might involve the United States in difficulties with foreign countries. Both Ven- •«Stteta*md Colombia have large foreign Jdebts, on most of which interest has'not been paid for years. Bonds /•presenting: this indebtedness are held < chiefly* by England and Holland. If, in order to protect these bondholders from''further loss by a disastrous war, either of these nations should inter- :fere It te probable that the Monroe doctrine would be involved and the United f States would cry "Hands off." l a Use naeantiiae-ii may be. well t o 4 • explain that the popular idea that this tie a mere farce comedy revolution is not altogether well founded. In the .first,place the territory of the Republic Of'Colombia is ten times as large taa that of the State of Illinois, while Its population is only 6,000, against '4,800,000 in Illinois. In the second placetthe attacks on the present government of Colombia have been so 'many during recent years that the Colombian army has been greatly en-. 'larged. It is now said to consist of upward cof 40,000 well-drilled and experienced soldiers, who are under the • command of able generals. The government is conservative, and its 1 friends say that it is devoted to building up the trade and commerce of the ^republic On the other hand, even his bitterest enemies admit that General Urlbe- Unoe, the revolutionist leader (reported/ dead, bAit report is not credited) is ,& man of spotless personal character, mho .'is actuated by the purest motives. over the mountain trails, and to endure the hardships of camp life in the splendid physique and the courage which has enabled him to win no less than forty-six pitched battles, coming off victorious and scatheless in every one he has been engaged in. In the meantime his ambitious parents saw that the boy's education was not neglected. After he had finished at the little mountain school he was sent to the great national university of Bogota, the capital of Colombia, which Is also a mountain city located far in the interior and thousands of feet above the sea level. Here the young man graduated and then went back to his mountain home to practice GENERAL URIBE-URIBE. :He is at the same time one of the most picturesque characters ever developed |>n the isthmus. He is only 40 years <>ld, tall, athletic, and unsmiling. There is nothing of the adventurer or swashbuckler in his appearance. Ho is a man who takes everything seriously and who know3 how to work hard and to dare greatly. He came to the United States last February with a number of his staff, including R. Perez, his private secretary, whose wife is a Chicago girl. Even at that time the revolution was well under way, and General Uribe-Uribe directed its operations for several weeks from his profession as a lawyer. Almost Immediately he was chosen by his fellowtownsmen to represent his native town in the national Chamber of Deputies, corresponding to the lower house of Congress In this country. Uribebribe soon developed great powers as an orator, writer, and leader in the House. The Conservative party was in control of the government, and Urlbe thundered in vain in favor of a free press, free speech, and free education. These reforms were resisted by the government, and finally the people of Urlbe-Uribe's mountain home rose in revolt. Their first revolution was In 1876, and Lribe threw himself at once Into" their cause. He soon won a wide reputation as a brave and able soldier. A second revolt occurred in 1885, and Jn this struggle Uribe won great fame, becoming the leader of the insurgent forces. Time apd time again, at the head of only 300 mountaineers, Uribe won victories over larger numbers of government troops. Once when a few of the men under his command mutinied Uribe shot the leader with his own hand and reduced the other to submission in a few minutes. Finally he was captured and thrown Into prison. When he was brought to trial his defense wa3 so logical and eloquent that he was acquitted without a moment's hesitation. In the latter part of 1899 another insurrection broke out at the head 'of which Uribe promptly placed himself During this struggle, which has been almost continuous ever since, Uribe performed many feats of daring and heroism. On one oecasion the rebel army lay on one side of a stream facing a greater force of tho enemy. A narrow bridge formed the only passage way over the deep river. Uribe finally announced that at a certain hour he personally, with the first ten volunteers, would cross that bridge and lead a charge on the unsuspecting army. The first volunteer was a negro sergeant, whom Uribe took by the hand, and, leading him out before his army, cried out: "Soldiers, this is Sergeant Zuleta. who will cress the bridge, hand in hand with me. I name him Captain for his bravery." Forthwith the whole rebel army volunteered, and when the time came the general and the negro sergeant led what proved to be a successful charge against the rebel army. During his stay in the United States his Broadway hotel. While in, this General Uribe-Uribe was anxious to country he made friends with many ! explain what led, him to take up arms prominent business men. who were j against the government of his native impressed with his plain sincerity and ; ]and. He declared that personal ambihis patriotic fervor. Uribe-Uribe was born up in the mountains of Antochia, in the interior of Colombia and on the crest of the Andes. His mother was famous for her beauty, while his father was an athlete and rancher. Many patriots ^*nd fighters for liberty have been born in the mountains, and the friends of Uribe-Uribe point out that bi3 was the proper birthplace for a man destined t o rescue his country from the hands of "corrupt and tyrannical politicians." While a boy he was taught by his father to break and ride the wild horses of the hills, to .take long tramps tion had nothing to do with it. On the conthary, he declared he was fighting for the oppressed people of Colombia. In answer the friends of the present government enter a general denial. They say that the frequent revolutions have been the cause of the depreciation of the currency, and they declare Uribe to be a fraud and an ally of Dictator Castro of Venezuela, whose idea it is to combine Equador, Venezuela, and Colombia into one government, with himself at the head as Emperor. They say that Uribe is in the pay pf British bondholders. - ftf Bomth Aaawtea* Revolt., Regarding the situation in the Venezuela- Colombia disunite. President Castro has informed President McKlnley: "It is the povernmeat's opinion that the conservatives, of Colombia, probably led by ruinous and wicked paMsloiiH,, have resolved to assist in a revolutionary movement against Venezuela and her government. When the government of Venezuela was surprised by the first and second Invasions of her frontier by 6,000 and 2,000 men, respectively, the invaders were victoriously expelled by the government and the people of Venezuela. Since said events, 10,000 men' have been massed. 011 the frontier for the defense and integrity of Venezuela and its national honor. These are quite apart from her active service troops 0« other parts of the frontier, ng well as national troops scattered over the republic and the reserve militia now under arms. Venezuela has not accepted the invasion as an interontjonal attack by the i>eople of Colombia against the people of Venezuela, but, knowing .to* renl source, recogmlze in It the work of the conservative government of Colombia ajrninst the majesty of the nation of Venezuela." There are Indications that there will bo n considerable gathering of foreign warships at the isthmus, and that American ships will lx» brought into UNITED STATK8 CONSULATE AT COLON. A Schley Surprise. There Is said to be a big surprise In store for the navy department when the court of inquiry meets to Investigate the charges against Schley. Jere Wilson, the noted lawyer of Washington, will be one of Schley's counsel, and It 4s said that former Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy, of New York, will also appear on that side of the case. That is the surprise which may worry Secretary Long. Gen. Tracy is one of the greatest lawyers in the United States, and was Harrison's secretary of the navy, and it is whispered that his part In the cases will be so to handle the witnesses as to reveal political favoritism and petty department scandals which will not only assist to create the impression that Schley is the victim of bureau jealousies, but will also embarrass the administration. It is intimated by Schley's friends that Tracy will so develop the bmeautmtlc methods of the navy department before the court as to create a sensation if not a naval scandal and compel a complete overhauling of the department. Wealthy men in New York and Boston have taken up the cause of Schley and stand ready to contribute all the money needed for the employment of counsel and it Is Intimated that there will be other great lawyers in the case when it comes to a hearinjar.

Nothing has been heard from the country south of Mobile up to the time the last wire to Mobile failed.

The water Is over three feet deep in the room and it is Btill rising. The wind is blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour and we look for worse things tonight. The business district is deserted." Here the wire failed and nothing more couid be heard from hiin. The water at 3 o'clock was reported aS high as in the great flood of 1893, although at that time the wind was not so high. From Mobile to Fort Morgan is thirty-five miles, and on both sides of the bay summer resorts and summer houses are located. These were, it is believed, in the direct path of the storm, {t is feared that there has been some loss of life on the islands in Mississippi Sound, just outside of the bar below Fort Morgan. These islands, inhabited by French fishermen, are only four or five feet above the water under ordinary stage, and were the scene of great loss of llf,e in 1893. Twenty miles of Louisville & Nashville track through Tensas swamp, west of Mobile, is under water. From reports of damage done between New Orleans and Mobile, it is believed several days will elapse before the wires are restored outside. A dispatch received from Mobile early in the afternoon read: "Under a forty-mile gale the river here has overflowed the cotton wharf and Front and Commerce streets. Water street is flooded two feet deep between St. Michael and Congress. Rowboats were employed to bring out members of the Cotton Exchange at noon." New Orleans, La., Aug. 17.—A report from Port Eads says all the people living on the east bank of the river have moved up to "Jump," fifteen miles from the mouth of the river. The house of George Cobden, half a mile above the quarantine station, was swept away and fifteen members of the family, including nine children, drowned. The quarantine buildings were badly damaged, but no one injured. The big towboat Chamberlain was driven high in the marsh. Her crew are safe. The government boat General Reese is believed to have been lost. Captain O'Brien's house was swept away, but ho was on the boat, which was believed to be outside. The pile driver at Port Eads was sunk. Up to midnight everything seemed to be safe at the Mississippi coast P r o b a b l o H a r d c * . Developments in the cos* of Ptrey Oummlngs; whose death resulted frftfc falling or being pushed between the shafts and wheel of a 'wagon in whlc!> he and his brother were riding from Baldwin home, have led to tbe arrestt of James Cummings on a charge of murder. A man named Wright, living near Stearns, between Baldwin anal the Cummings farm, swore to hearing the sound of quarreling at about the time the brothers would have passed* and recognized the voice of James, to whom,the other cried: "Oh, don't!" Another man* named Demaro, heard the dispute, but could not distinguish the words. It waa in this vicinity A billy was found. Justice Gunn ordered the body disinterred, and a second examination revealed bruises upon the head as of some blunt instrument, which the doctors say could not have been inflicted by the spokes of the wheel. James Cummings was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Wright, and Is now in jail. He is married and has two children. A n H o n o r e d J n d t r e G o n e .

Mass., and who has an office h> Xe\V York, speaking of the prospective strike among the operators In New England, is quoted as saying that the mill owners of Fall River had announced fho proposed reduction in wages for the purpose of precipitating a strike which would afford them an opportunity to dispose of a surplus of goods that is at present choking up the mills. communication having lreon j towns—Bay St. Loul3, Pass Christian, resumed from one point, which is central. The general report is that aside \ from damage to wharves and lmthhorscs, sail boats and smacks, tre^s, outhouses and fences, the instances of serious loss are few. There has l>eon no loss of life, as far as is known in Mobile and vicinity. A now Orleans dispatch says: It is learned that while the damage had been severe at all points, wharves and bath houses being swnpt away, there had boon no loss of life except one fisherman missing from Bay St. Louis. IBiloxi, Mississippi City and Ocean Springs—but since then not a word has been heard from them. All wires are down, but no great fear is entertained. Several large factories in New Orleans, notably Carres' lumber plant and j the Crystal ice factory, had to be closed i down on account of the inundation. S t n r v n t l o n I n Runnia.

Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 17.—A report from Mobile received over a railroad wire says that the mill cf the Dixie Lumber company, two miles north of Mobile, was carried away by the storm, and several employes were killed. This is said to be the largest lumber mill in Mobile. District Observer Chaffee of the weather bureau says of the storm conditions: "While the storm is moving slowly northeastward, it has increased its energy, the barometer reading as low as 29.44 inches at New Orleans, and its velocity of revolution around the center is steadily increasing. "There will be no settled weather over this region until the gulf storm moves over to the north, which will probably be by this afternoon or tonight." A stiff southeast wind has been blowing in Montgomery since 6 o'clock last night It was accompauied by a heavy downpour of rain.

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing n*tbt of unnecssary work. | Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change an temperture nud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it ia forced to the top. ' You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from teu to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next .milking. : Taking it all kn all> it saves the womeu's work, costs leas 'than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., beside* saving enough cream in one year tn pay for itself tenfold.

It willbe remembered that last year the town board gave a franchise to a "'company" that proposed building from Mason to Stock bridge and Dexter, b u as beleivd at the time, the company was only on paper.

A Correction, It has been reported that $5 in advertising was s*ved this school district by buying coal without publishing a notice of the letting in the DISPATCH. We jvish to correct the statement as our rates are only 5 cent* per line and theootice seldom contains more than 7 or 8 line* and runs generally 3 weeks. This would mak* it «ost $1 20. We will say further that the board voted to advertise and let the coal to the | a t , o w weeds-to-grow upon vacant lets \TTowesTTnddftr. The director came to | & n d ^£-*viILj)eJ pio>ecuted.

The most of those who become ministers are the sons of those who had terrific struggle to get their everyday bread. The collegiate and theological education of that son took every luxury from the parental table for eight years. The other children were more scantily apparelled. The son at college every little while got a bundle from home. In it were the socks that mother had knit sitting up late at night, her sight not as good as once It was. And there also were some delicacies from the Bister's hand for the voracious appetite of a hungry student, The-father swung the heavy cradle through the wheat, the sweat rolling from his chin bedewing every step of the way, and then sitting down under the cherry tree at noon thinking to himself, "I am fearfully tired, but it will pay if I can once see that boy through college, and if I can know that he will be preaching the gospel after I am dead." The younger children want to know why they can't have this and that, as, others do, aad the mother says, "Be patient, my children, until your brother graduates, and then you shall have more luxuries, but we must see that boy through." The years go by, and the son has been ordained and is preaching the glorious gospel, a n d a great revival comes, and souls by scores and hundreds accept the gospel from the lips of that young preacher, and father and mother, quite old now, are visiting the son at the village parsonage, and at the close of a Sabbath of mighty blessing father and mother retire to their room, the son lighting the way and asking them if he can do anything to make them more comfortable, saying if they want anything in the night just to knock on the wall, and then, all alone, father and mother talk over the gracious influences of the day and say: "Well, it was worth all we went •WcpclWsff"f?i iffiiwr^^ times carry i* guns looking through rfttlumr s ^ t f t f l h ^ the porthofce *eady to open tottfe, but the tiny avail on the Kile aeemt to he armed with aft the guns of thunder that bombarded «Jlnai at the lawgiving.

They have positive evidence that he is in the house of one • of the Christians, the balcony of whose home reaches over the wall. "Here he Is! Here he is!" The vociferation and blasphemy and howling of the pur- -4mers are at the front door. They break in. "Fetch out that gospelizer -- and let us hang his head on the city • gate. Where Is he?" The emergency eras terrible. Providentially there was • a good stout basket in the house. Paul's friends fasten a rope to the lfcasket. Paul steps Into it. The basket tts lifted to the edge of the balcony on V i e wall, and then while Paul holds the rope with both hands his friends lower away, carefully and cautiously, slowly but surely, farther down and farther down, until the basket strikes the searfh and the apostle steps out and ;afoot and alone starts on that famous •missionary tour the story of which has ; astonished earth and heaven. Approp r i a t e entry in Paul's diary of travels: "Through a window in a basket was I ,-let down by the wall." * observe first on what a slender ten- 'wre great results hang. The rope-maker w h o twisted that cord fastened to t h a t lowering basket never knew how Eauch would depend upon the strength -of it. How if it had been broken and t h e apostle's life had been dashed out? "What would have become of the Chris- 'tlan church? All that magnificent "missionary work in Pamphylla. Cappadocia, Galatia, Macedonia would never ''have been accomplished. All his writi n g s that make up so indispensable and enchanting a part of the New 'Testament would never have been •vrritten.

It was a hard pull, but we held on till the work was done. The world may not know it, but, mother, we held the rope, didn't we?" And the voice, tremulous with joyful emotion, responds: "Yes, father, we held the rope. I feel my work is done. Now, Lord, Iettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation." "Pshaw!" says the father. "I never felt so much like living in my life as now. I want to see what that fellow Is going to do, he has begun so well."1 Something occurs to me quite personal. I was the youngest of a large family of children. My parents were neither rich nor poor.* Four of the sons wauled a college education, and four obtained It, but not without great home struggle. We never heard the old p*jople say once that they were denying tl-emselves to effect this, but I remember now. that my parents always looked tired. I don't think they ever got rested until they lay down in the Soraerville cemetery. Mother would sit down in the evening and say, "Well, I don't know what makes me feel S3 tired." Father would fall Immediately to sleep, seated by the evening stand. overcome with the day's fatigues. About 35 years ago the one and about 37 years ago the other put down the burdens cf this life, but they still hold the rope. Recognition of Blessing*. 0 men and women, you brag sometimes how you have fought your way irv the world, but I think there have been helpful influences that you have never fully acknowledged. Has there not been some influence in your early or present home that the world cannot see? Does there not reach you from among the New England hills or from the western prairie or from southern plantation or from English or Scottish or Irish home a cord of influence that has kept you right when you would have gone astray and which, after you had made a crooked track, recalled you? The rope may be as long as 30 years or 500 miles long or 3,000 miles long, but hands that went out of mortal sight long ago still hold the rope. You want a very swift h o n e , and you need to rowel him with sharpest spurs and to let the reins lie loose upon the neck anc to give a shout to the racer if you are going to ride out of reach of your mother's prayers. Why, a ship crcr&ftjp the Atlantic In six days can't sail away from that. A sailor -finds them on the lookout as he takes h's place and finds them on the mast as he climbs the ratlines to disentangle a rope in the tempest and finds them swinging on the hammock when he turns in. Why not be frank and acknowledge it?

Charles O. Finney said to a dying Christian, "Give my love t o S t Paul when you meet him." When you and I meet him, as we will, I shall ask him to introduce me to those who got him out of the Damascene peril. We go into long sermons to prove that we will be able to recognise people ir heaven, when there is one reason we fail to present, and that is bettor than all—God will introduce us. We shall have them all pointed o u t You would not be guilty of the impoliteness of having friends in your parlor not introduced, and celestial politeness will demand that we be made acquainted with all the heavenly household. What rehearsal of old times and recital of stirring reminiscences! If others fail to give introduction, God will take us through, and before our first 24 hours In heaven—if it were calculated by earthly timepieces—have passed we shall meet and talk with more heavenly celebrities than in our entire mortal state we met with earthly celebrities. Many who made great noise of usefulness will sit on the last seat by the front door of the heavenly temple, while right up within arm's reach of the heavenly throne will bs many who, though they could not reach themselves or do great exploits for God, nevertheless held the rope. Patient, Uncomplaining Service. Come, let us go right up and accost those on the circle of heavenly thrones. Surely they must have killed rn battle a million men. Surely they must have been buried with all the cathedrals sounding a dirge and all the towers of all the cities tolling the national grief. Who art thou, mighty one 6f heaven?

Take, for Instance, Maecheroni'8 exquisite ballad, 'For All Eternity.' 1 should not like to say what weight of gold that song has yielded, but not very long ago the copyright in it was considered to be worth £2,240, a sum for which it was sold b^ Messrs. Puttlck & Simpson, the auctioneers. And yet I believe that very song was offered to a London publisher for a £ 1 0 note, and refused by him. Think of refusing a thousand sovereigns for every one laid down! But then, of course, one must remember the risk we publishers run. It is a fact that, of every hundred songs offered to me, barely one is worth the cost of printing and publishing; and a song that will yield a few hundreds of profits is literally one in a thousand. Among songs that have produced more than £10,000 in profit I should place first Sullivan's world famous 'Lost Chord.' This song was substantially composed in less than an hour, and for that hour's work the composer received in royalties quite £10,000—probably the largest sum any man has ever earned in an hour by his brain. Then, again, that ever gree,n song, 'In Old Madrid/ must have brought its publisher a profit of nearly £20,000 by this time, for its popularity was at the flood for many years. Among other gold mines I should place 'The Better Land,' 'The River of Years,' 'Forever and Forever,' 'Goodby,' 'The Devout Lover,' 'Nancy Lee'—to mention only half a dozen, the aggregate profjts from which cannot have been a penny less, than £fift,ft00.

"I was for 30 years a Christian invalid and suffered all the while, occasionally writing a note of sympathy for those worse off than I, and was general confidant of all those who had trouble, and once In awhile I was strong enough to make a garment for that poor family in the back lane."

"I was the mother who raised a whole family of children for God, and they are out in the world Christian mer* chants, Christian mechanics, Christian1 wives, and I have had full reward for all my toil." Let us pass on in the circle of thrones. "I had a Sabbath school class and they were always on my heart, and they all entered the kingdom of God, and I am waiting for their arrival." But.who are thou, the mighty one of heaven on this other throne? "In time of bitter persecution I owned a house in Damascus,, a house on the wall. A man who preached Christ was hounded from street to street and I hid him from the assissins, and when I found them breaking into my house and I could no longer keep him safely I advised him to flee for his life, and a basket was let down over the wall with the maltreated man In it, and I was one who helped hold the rope." And I said: "Is that all?" And he answered: "That is all." And while I was lost in amazement I heard a sfrong voice that sounded as though it might once have been hoarse from many exposures, and triumphant as though it might have belonged to one of the martyrs, and it said: "Not many mighty, not many noble are called, but God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not to bring to naught things which are. that no flesh should glory in his presence.** And I looked to see from whence the voice came, and lo! It was t h e very one who had said, "Through a window in a basket was I let down by tha wall." Nothing unimportant In your life or mine.

Of course, if a song has anything in it, it is a fatal thing to sell it outright to a publisher, as so many composers have done, to their lasting regret.. It is old history that 'Katnleen Mavoumeen,' which never seems t o ' lose Ua charm for the public, was sold for £ 5 i 1 scarcely dare speculate how much the unhappy composer must have • lost by this bargain. Some of Mr. Milton Welllng's best songs changed hands for absurd prices, the composer scarcely receiving a pound for every j thousand made by his publishers.

At this juncture Selim, who had opened a door, and gone on a few steps in advance, came hurriedly back, with a look of alarm in his face. "I bear footsteps in the passage overhead," he said, in a whisper. "Are you sure?" "Yes. I heard them very plainly." "What Is the passage of which you apeak?" asked Julian. "It is one through which we must pass," replied Osmir, "and one in which we had expected to find no obstacle." 'It may be," suggested Selim, "thai '\-i fr •••» a new guard has been set there." "That cannot be," asserted Osmir. "I came through there only a short time since, and the place was empty. Hark —I hear the steps from here—and I think? they are coming this way. Hold, a moment Remain where you are, and I will find what this means." % Thus speaking, Osmir glided away into the darkness, towards the point Where the stairs led down from the upper passage. After an absence of a few minutes he returned, and his first exclamation told that he was excited. "The king is coming!" "The king!" repeated Julian, in a quick, deep whisper. "Yes—and two . of his guards are with him. Borne one else came as far as the uead of the stairs with them, but I think only the king and the guards are descending." "He must be coming to see me," said Julian. "it must be so/' answered Osmir; "for there is nothing else here for him to see, save uare damp walls and toads." "Hark! Here they come. I hear their, voices, and can see where the rays of their lantern breaks in the gloom." It was Selim who said this, and as he spoke he drew back, and hid his own lantern beneath the skirt of his tunic. Our adventurers, from where they stood, could see the foot of the steps at the far end of the passage; and presently they saw two men descend, the foremost one bearing a lantern, and wearing the robes of the king, while the other seemed to be an officer of the household. "I see now," said Osmir, as he gained a view of the approaching men. "I wis mistaken. The guards have been left behind, and this is Benoni, one of the captains of the guard, who comes with the king." The robber chieftain was for a moment undecided as to the course he should pursue. Once his sword was half drawn from its scabbard; but Osmir, who heard the movement, seemed to have a better idea. "My master," he whispered, touching Julian upon the arm, "let us draw' back out of sight, and allow them to pass. They will certainly keep on to the dungeon we have left, and we win follow them thither." "You are right," replied the chieftain. "They,will be completely in our power when they have passed us." Just back of where our trio -stood was the door by which they had last pasted, and^poa one side-was a deep to the hiding place, with bis lantern held carefully before him, and his head •bowed, as though he ^ was fearful that he might make a misstep. He walked *lowty« and his frame shook with a pet'oeptlble tremor. When he reached the door he stopped, and turned toward* hfs companions. "Benoni," he said, "I think you may remain here. This is the last passage, and t will go the rest of the way alone." "I had better accompany you to the end, sire." "No—1 prefer to go alone." "But," urged the captain, "the way is Tough and dubious, and you. may miss your step." # "Out upon thee for an ass!" cried the Xing, indignantly. "Do you think_my step is growing feeble? I tell thee it was never stronger. I will go the rest of the way as I have said. I shall find Selim at the door of the dungeon, and he will render me such assistance as I may need there. I must see this prisoner alone. He possesses a secret which I must fathom before he loses his bead." "f beg thee, sire, be careful." "Peace, good Benoni. Don't fret on my account I know what I do. I'll find out the story of this robber's life, and then his head shall come off right quickly. Stay, you here, and await my return." , Thus speaking, the king moved on, and when the sound of his uncertain, stumbling footfall could be no longer heard, Julian reached forth until his hand touched one of his companions. "Who is this?" he asked, in a hushed whisper. It was Selim. "There is no time to lose. The captain must be disposed of quickly. Uncover your lantern, and I will throttle him." Selim did as directed, and as soon as the rays of light fell upon the captain, the latter started to gaze about him. But his 'free-will movements were quickly terminated by a blow from the first of the robber chieftain, which niche la the .wall, which had evidently bem constructed for tot reception, ot rubbish. Into this they quickly glided. Selim SQ effectually, cloaking his. Ian* teife that iWt a ray oT Wgat escaped la a Uttle while the king came near ^ relied mm to the floor, and before be could move or cry out, he was securely bound, and Osmir's sash passed over his mouth. "Now," cried Julian, "for the king. He will be an easy Bubject to dispose of." "And how will you dispose of him?" asked Osmir. For an instant a dark thought struggled through Julian's mind. Here was an opportunity to put his worst enemy out of the way, and, at the same time, free the world from a ruler who had ceased to do justly. But the thought was not long entertained. The soul of the chieftain was above the doing of such a deed. Osmir noticed the hesitation, and tremblingly asked: "Will you kill him?" "No, no," was the quick reply. "That would be too cowardly. He is a poor foolish old man, whose, continued life must be the greatest curse. We will put him where he put me, and let his slaves find him after we are gone. Come—I will lead to this event, and then you shall lead to the next." Without further remark the robber moved on towards the dungeon where he had been confined, Selim going by his side with the lantern. Pretty soon they saw the king ahead of them, whereupon Selim was suffered to go on in advance. Horam had reached the door of the dungeon just as Selim came up. "Ha, Selim, is this you?" "Yes, sire." "I did not see you when I came. Where have you been hiding?" "I have not been hiding, sire; but have been doing my duty." "And the prisoner?" "He is safe." "Open the door. I would speak with him. He is securely chained?" "No mortal man can break the chains wherewith he was bound, sire." "Then open—quick. His arms are bound?" "Like iron, sire." "And he cannot move from his place?" "The chains all center upon the bolt in the floor." "Then you may remain without. Selim. I wish to speak with the prisoner alone." Selim had no particular understanding with his companions touching this movement; but he understood that Julian would act when he saw fit, so he proceeded to unbolt the door and throw it open. "We can shut him in and leave him," whispered' Osmir, when he saw the king about to pass into the dungeon. "No, no," ' quickly returned Julian, "I have another thought. I pay find use for those royal robes which he weara." "By the godar cried Osmir, "the priaa is worth tea thousand times more thaa I had thought.

CHAPTER XIL - A Royal Disguise. Until the present time Julian had thought of overcoming the king without a word—of felling him to the pavement and binding him, and leaving him in ignorance of who bad done it; but a different fancy seised him aa he saw the monarch enter the dungeon. The temptation to face his deadly enemy, and let him know to what ha owed his disgrace, was too strong to be resisted. The thought that he could now place his foot upon the neck of the king of Damascus, and grant the poor life which he had* the power to take, was not to be passed by. And then the robber chieftain had another reason for wishing to speak with the king, since the opportunity had thus unexpectedly offered itself. Horam had come on purpose to see him, to learn some secret. Our hero had a 45uriosity to know what this meant- "Stay a moment where you are," he said,.addressing the blacks; and thus speaking he passed into the dungeon Just as the king had discovered that no prisoner was there. "Ho! Selim!" shouted the monarch, turning his f-?e to the door. "What Is the matter here? Is not this the—" He stopped, for the Hght of his lantern, falling upon the face of the man who had followed him in, revealed another face than that of Selim. "Horam," spoke the chieftain, "you find the Scourge of Damascus not quite as powerless as you had expected." "What ho! Selim! Selim!" "Easy, old man. Selim will not come at your bidding. Let me Inform you that I am master, for the present, of this lower region, and Selim is my slave." "Mercy!" gasped the terrified king. "What ho! Benoni! Benoni!" "Benoni is in my power," said Julian. "He is bound hand and foot, and cannot help you. And, thou base, false man—thou, too, art in my power. Down in this deep dungeon, where the light of day cannot come, and where the noise of the upper world cannot penetrate, here I have thee as thou dld'st hope to have me.

The king's knees smote together, and the lantern dropped from his hand. "Mercy!" he cried. And then, as though remembering that he was king of Damascus, he clenched his hands, and tried to speak with the voice of authority. "Vile miscreant," he said, "let me pass! If you dare to oppose me, you shall be torn limb from limb!" "Easy, old man. I am your master now, and if you give me occasion, I may do you harm." There was that in the look, tone and bearing of the stalwart chieftain which caused Horam to quail. The lantern hart fallpn in pn upright position, and its light revealed quite plainly the features of the twolinen. "You will not kill me?" whispered the king. "No," replied Julian. "I should scorn the deed; and I should despise myself if I did it. I wish simply to do this. I mus* leave this palace tonight, and you must remain here in my plac*. Some of your slaves will find you in the morning. You must strip off that purple robe, and that golden chain; and I must have the jeweled crown from your head. Come—I have no time to waste." "Ye gods of heaven!" ejaculated Horam. "how can this thing be! Who ever heard of such a thing! Who dares to disrobe the king?" "I dare to do it!" replied the robber, sternly and quickly, at the same time taking a step forward. "Remove the garments instantly, or I shall tear them from you." "No, no; you dare not rob your king." "Peace, poor fool! Hesitate another minute, and I will smite you to the floor! Off with the robe!** The trembling monarch cast one look into the face of the man before him, and then shrank back against the wall. He was as a mere child, and for the time, while unable to do evil, he seemed an object of pity. "If I give yon these things will yon spare my life?" > "I told you once—yes. And once more I beg you to remember that my time is short You will save yourself some trouble if you obey me." This was spoken very slowly, each word dropping from the robber's lips with the weight of a death sentence; and the lowering of the brow, the swelling of the broad bosom, and the nervous working of the hands, told too plainly that the edict- must be obeyed.

What we have done we can do again. Persistence commands success, aud our wheat growers should apply all known [remedies and preventies against the fly and endeavor next year to equal past records in wheat growing The ravages of the fly can be very materially counter acted in Michigan by several methods not difficult of application. 1. By burning the stubble. This is very effective, and is being largely practiced in the west, and is effeciive not only in destroying the Hessian fly in the stubble, but hordes of other injurious insects.

By late sowing, in Michigan from the 1st tbe 10th of October, not before. Even latter sowing is permissible. This is generally very reliable, notwithstanding the experience of 1930 was valuable. Much, of course, depends upon the time of the fall when frosts appear and also the time when freezing weather sets in of sufficient degree to stop the growth of the plant. With winter coming as late as it did last year, even sowing in the first part is to early, while if we had an early setting in of winter it would, of course, be desirable to sow sufficiently early to get a reasonable amount of growth in the plant before winter.

Helen Weeks went to the city treasurers office, paid her taxes, and took a receipt, which she carefully filed away, without reading it however. A few days ago she was. informed that certain parties had a tax title on her poperty. Investigation showed that she had paid the taxes on anpthei womans property while her own had been sold for Ainpaid taxes and it is costing her a nice little sum to get the matter straigthened out.< And it was not her mistake either. —Milford Times.

In this issue two pages are given to the last^of that magazine's prize photo graphs of rural scenes, and the collection is a notable one, interesting alike to the picture-taker and the lover of pictures. Some of the scenes have all the distinguishing qualities of painting, with the added eharm of beins true to Nature. "Do you know," said a citizen, "that there is now, since wire fencing has been in reduced, no trouble to raise turkeys. They do not seem to fly over a wire fence. They always alight on the top rail of a fence when flying over. The wire gives them no such opportunity and they are confined to a field without difficulty. This county is the natural home for turkeys. The first settlers found the woods full of wild turkeys. Tliere is no reason why Washtenaw county should not be celebrat ed.. for its fine turkeys. They would bring a large amount of money to the farmers. They must look after something else than wheat to make money. T h e i r S e c r e t Is o u t .

One of the attractions of the Eaton Rapids street fair was a mysterious receptacle on the top of a step ladder in front of a drug store. "The famous red spider" was advertised, and the chump who was curious enough to cliuib the ladder, cautiously peered over into the dish to behold there an old brokeu handled frying pan, painted redv Then he as cautiously backed down the ladder and slid into the crowd not only to conceal himself, out to find another as big a fool as self, and reflect how easy it is a person to lie and tell the trut in the same words.—Leslie Local.

Of air the young men in the country, only five per cent are members of churches; of college young men, fiftytwo per cent are members of churches, so says Dean Hulbert of 6the University of Chicago. College life has its peculiar temptations, of course, but it abounds in opportunities also. A young man must grow. If he aims to grow upward, his college will help grandly. But he may prefer to grow downward, and that the college cannot always hinder. A fire recently broke out at Hermannsreuth, an Austrian village near the Bavarian frontier, A Bavarian fire brigade, which was stationed only three miles away, hastened to the rescue, but the Austrian customs authorities refused to allow the fire engines to pass the frontier without paying the usual tax on imported machinery. The Bavarian firemen naturally turned back and half the village was burned down before the nearest Austrian fire brigade could reach the scene.

One piece" of gossip of the London clubs is startling and interesting. It tells of seriouslrWbterTrt the -eourt of the cznr of Russia which may have a far-reaching effect. It is well known that the czar is bitterly disappointed because no son has been born to succeed him on the throne, this disappointment being softened only by his devotion to the czarina. It is now declared, according to this club gossip— participated in by well known diplomats— that the czarina is altogether unlikely to give birth to a sou, and if she could do so, such son would certainly be a weakling. This statement is said to have been made by phys'- cians near to the court. It has exclte.d the Russian cabinet, members >of which believe that the czar should adopt one of two alternatives—divorce the czarina and remarry, or declare the present czorewitch heir t o tne throne and hasten his marriage to the Princess Margaret, one of the daughters of the Duke of Connaught.

"Hero comes Mr. Radnor," cried a pretty fair-haired girl in Wue. "Come and have your hand read; we all want to know your future." "Many thanks/' said Radnor, laughingly; "X shall be very glad to accommodate you if Miss Compton is not too tired." As he spoke his eyes met those of the palmist for an instant—his grave and determined; hers sparkling and defiant. What a childish-looking little thing she was! Radnor seeing her now in her short gypsy dress, her heavy braids -of dark hair hanging over her shoulders, could have easily imagined that the seven years since their last meeting had been swept away, so little changed was she. "I am not tired/* sho said quietly, though the pale face and deep purple shadows under her eyes belied her words. She took his hands in her cold, slender ones and the onlookers drew closer about them. "You have a long life, good health, no nerves to speak of, rather cold; yet you. win people easily. Mathematical, logical, argumentative, a free-thinker in religious matters, very ambitious, proud and self-willed, fond of luxury and not afraid, to work for it. Your success in life is assured." "And his marriage," cry half a dozen voices; "has he ever been in love? Is he ever going to be married?" And Adele went on, but a little more Slowly this time. "You have been in love twice, once in your early youth; the trace is almost faded out. The second time when 30 or 31; the line is cut and barred, some obstacle—I (she is breathing quickly) I do not see any more." She drops the hands and is turning away with a half-repressed gesture of relief, but the listeners are clamoring for the end. Adele shakes her head smiling. "That is the end; remember the powers of palmistry are limited." And the crowd moves away, laughing, protesting, leaving Radnor and the cheiromant together. For a moment he i'3 silent. In the great hall the band Is playing a wild fantastic Hungarian dance. In the drawing-room he can hear the murmur of fifty voices, among them Mrs. Mccormick's, silvery, a little too incisive, but highbred withal. Then he moves closer. "Adele," he says soitly, and there is a world of tenderness in his voice, but the girl does not move. "Adele, shall I tell the end that palmistry does not reveal?

Another Cleveland Horror. Six men were drowned Tuesday night as the result of an explosion of gas in the tunnel leading from the Cleveland water works crib No. 3. two miles from crib No. 2, where the fatal accident of last Wednesday occurred. The work of sinking the shaft at crib No. 3, which is three miles from shore, was completed yesterday. Six men were at once put to work digging a tunnel toward crib No. i. These men had hot been working but a short time when a terrific explosion of gas occurred. The casing of the tunnel was crushed and a torrent, of water fromthe lake rushed into the opening. Six men who were in the tunnel had not the slightest opportunity to escape, but perished oefore as sistanee could reae*i them. • ^ • S r ^ ^ ^ •ivMpyh Blorror* o< m J ^ M t l e As/less.

"Just five minutes, then; I am due somewhere else now. What can I do for you?" "Tell me the attraction, Recitation. Spiritualism, Theosophy, Punch and Judy or what?" "Nonsense," says Mrs. McCormick, coioring; "only palmistry." "Only palmistry!" he repeats. "Well?" For a moment there is a silence and the woman is watching him under her long lashes keenly. Most women like John Radnor, and Mrs. McCormick is very much of a woman. Every detail of an old story that had gone the rounds of L just after her coming is clear in her mind, and she is wondering just how much of it is true. John Radnor hardly looks like a man cisappointed in love—blighted—a woman- hater, as some people say he is*. True, he is 38 and unmarried. The halt on his temples is very gray and there are deep lines about the stern mouth that can soften wonderfully at times. Mrs. McCormick has, however, little faith in the one-love theory, still less in village gossip. She is roused by Radnor repeatlrtg his last word and plunge** in without more ado, "Do you remember the Comptons? I thought so," as Radnor makes a gesture of assent. "You know the son got into some trouble, disgraced himself, and the blow killed Professor Compton. The family moved out West somewhere and we all lost sight of them." She paused and again watched, him narrowly. Again Radnor makes the same assenting gesture, his face expresses polite interest, that is all, and she goes on: "Well, to make a long story short 1 heard by the mereat chance that Mrs. Compton and the daughter were back here, supporting themselves by coaching boy* for the Preparatory School > they were always , popular with the -faculty, you know. 1 went to tee them and discovered that Adele was a good assaianr palmist; indeed, she )s a A fire started by nh explosion in the works of the Atlantic Kenning Co. at Point Breeze, near Philadelphia, Monday night, destroyed over six hundred and fifty thousand barrels of oil and benzine by morning, which means a loss of $1,300,000.

Twenty minutes later Mrs. McCormick is holding out a gracious hand to Radnor, who is among the last to go. "Well, did yon find out?" she says, and Just then, the little cheiromant a water-proof drer her bright dress, the hood covering the heavy hair, comes down the stairs. —^- Radnor looks from one woman to the other, and then one of his rare, brilliant smiles softens the gravity of his face.

The "Fitch" Aquatic Cream Separator. If yon're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. Br the old system of milk-selting you lose from ten to twenty per oent. of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in tempertnre and consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. Yon get «11 the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, tke cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The batter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. Yon can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it all in arl, it saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, [jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one ,year to pay for itself tenfold. f Here are our prices: No. 1.

Talmage is full of the breath of hills and fields and is a summer ion; text, Nehemiah viii, 15/ "Go forth unto the mount and fetch olive jbranohee and pine branches and tssjrtle branches and palm branches kxancb.es of thick trees to make I t seems a s If Mount Olivet were un- 4B06>sei. The people have gone into t h e Mountain and have cut off tree hrattcies and put them on their shoulders, and they come forth now into the streets of Jerusalem and on the heuse tops, and they twist these tree branches into arbors or booths. Then the people come forth from their comfortable homes and dwell for seven days in these booths or arbors. Why -do they do that? Well, it is a great festal time. It i s the feast of taberoacles, and these people are going t o celebrate the desert travel of their lathers and their deliverance from their troubles, the experience of their fathers when, traveling in the desert, they lived in booths on their way to the land of Canaan. And s o these booths also became highly suggestive —I will not say they are necessarily typical, but highly suggestive—of our march toward heaven and of the fact th?.t we are only living temporarily here, a s i t were, i n booths'or arbors, <oa our. way to the Canaan of eternal r e s t And what was said to the Jews literally may be said figuratively t o •all this audience. Go forth unto the mountain and fetch olive branches and pine banches and myrtle branches • and palm branches and branches of .thick trees t o make booths. "We Need Olive Branches. » "Now, if we are today going t o succeed i n building this gospel arbor we Beaut go into the mount of God's blessing and fetch the olive branches, one! whatever else we must have we have at least two olive branches, With God ^ n d peace with man. W h e a I say peace with God, I do not to represent God as an angrjr • ctdeftain, having a grudge against us, bat C do mean t o affirm that there is BO more antagonism between a hound and a hare, between a hawk and a pallet, between elephant and swine, efean there is hostility between holiness and sin. And if God is all holiness and we are all sin there must be a treaty, there must be a stretching forth of olive branches. There is a great lawsuit going on BOW, and it is a lawsuit which man is bringing against his Maker. That lawsuit is now on the calendar. It is the haman versus the divine, i t is iniquity versus the imaculate, it is weakness ! versus omnipotence. Man began it. ' God did not begin the lawsuit. We bag s * it. We assaulted our Maker, and the sooner we end this part of the straggle, in which the finite attempts (to overthrow the infinite and omnipotent— the sooner we end it the better. Ifcarelers tell us there is no such place aa Mount Calvary, that it is only a bin, only a n insignificant hill, but I /persist in calling it the mount of God's 'divine mercy and love far grander tfcaa any other place on earth, grander than the Alps or the Himalayas, and there are no other hills as conipared with It. and I have noticed in every sect where the cross of Christ is set forth it is planted with olive branches. Anal all we have to do is to get rid of t h i s srar between God and ourselves, -of which we are all tired. We want 'to back out of the war, we want to gat rid of this hostility. All we have t o do is just to get up on the mount o f God's blessing and pluck these olive branches and wave them before the throne. Peace through our Lord Jesus Cbrist! Health for Mind and Sool. But my text goes further. It says, "Go up. into the mountain and fetch •olive branches and pine branches." N o w , what is suggested by the pine branch? The pine tree i s healthy, i t la aromatic, it is evergreen. H o w often the physician says to his invalid patients: "Go and have a breath of the pines. That will invigorate you." Wfcy do such thousands of people go raouth every year? <Jt is not merely to go to a warmer climate, but to get the JaoMence of the nine. There is health : l a it, aad this pine branch of the text s^soggests t o e helpfulness of our holy tcHgion. I t is full of health—health far ati, health for the mind, health for t h e soul. I knew an aged man who jhad no capital of physical health. He thad had all the diseases you could imagine. H e did not eat enough to keep *a child alive. He lived on a beverage • of hosannas. He lived, high, for he >4iaed every day with the King. He kept alive simply by the force of holy religion. It is a hftalrhy i»a- Hgionr-hcalthy for the eye, healthy for t h e hands, healthy for the feet, h e a l t h y &or:"1fee k«*rt, healthy for the liver, healthy for the spleen, healthy for the whole man. It gives a man such peace, such quietness, such independence of circumstances, such holy equipoise. Oh, that we all possessed it, that w s possessed it now! I mean it is healthy if a man gets enough of it. Now, there are some people who get Just enough religion to bother them, just enough religion t o make them sick, but If a man takes a full, deep, round inhalation of these pine branches of the gospel arbor he will find i t buoyant, exuberant, undying, immortal health. But this evergreen of my text also suggests the simple fact that religion is evergreen. What does the pine branch care for the snow on its brow? It is only a crown of glory. The winter cannot freeze i t out. This evergreen tree branch is a s beautiful in winter as It i s in the summer. And that is the characteristic of our holy religion. In the sharpest, coldest winter of misfortune and disaster It is as good a religion as i t Is in the bright summer sunshine. Well, now, that is a practical truth. For suppose if I should go up and down these aisles I would not find in this house fifty people who had had no trouble. But there are some of you who have especial trouble. God only knows what you go through with. Oh, how many bereavements, how. many poverties, I how many persecutions, how many misrepresentations! And now, my brother, you have tried everything else, why do you not try this evergreen religion? It is just as good for you now as it was in the day of prosperity. It is better for you. Perhaps some of you feel almost like Muckle Backie, the fisherman, who was chided one day because he kept on working, although that very day he burled his child. They came to him and said, "It is indecent for you to be mending that boat when this afternoon you buried your child." And the fisherman looked up and said, "Sir, it i s very easy for you gentlefolks to stay in the house with your handkerchief to your eyes in grief; but, sir, ought I t o let the other five children starve because one of them is drowned? No, sir. We maun work, we maun work, though our hearts beat like this hammer." The Significance of the Palm. But my text takes a step further, and it says, Go into the mountain and fetch olive branches and pine branches ana paim Drancnes. Now, m e palm tree was very much honored by the ancients. It had 360 different uses. The fruit was conserved, the sap was a beverage, the stems were ground up for food for camels, The base of the leaves was turned into hats and mats and baskets, and from the root to the top of the highest leaf there was usefulness. The tree grew 85 feet in height sometimes, and i t spread leaves four and five feet long. It meant usefulness, limrTF~meanr victory—usefulness for what it produced and victory because it was brought into celebrations of triumph. And oh, how much we want the palm branches in the churches of Jesus Christ at this time! A great many Christians do not amount to anything. You have to shove them off the track t o let the Lord's chariots come along. I know the old plan was, the plan now is, in regard to worldly investments— you hear it, merchants tell you —do not put everything into one thing, do not put all your eggs into one basket. But I have to tell you in this matter oiSj religion you had better give your all-^to God and then get in yourself^— On, says some one, "My busln e | | is to sell silks and cloth3." Well, then, my brother, sell silks and cloths to the glory of God. And some one says, "My business is to raise corn and carrots." Then, my brother, raise corn and carrots to the glory of God. And some one says, "My business is to manufacture horseshoe nails." Then manufacture horseshoe nails to the glory of God. Th'erc is nothing for you to do that you ought to do but for the glory of God. The Victory Over Satan. But the palm branch also meant victory. You all know that. In all ages, in all lands, the palm branch means victory. Well, now, we are by nature the servants of satan. He stole us, he has his eye on us, he wants to keep us. But word comes from our Father that if we will try to break loose from this doing of wrong our Father will help us, and some day we rouse up, and we look the black tyrant in the face, and we fly at him, and we wrestle him down, and we put our heel on his neck, and we grind him in the dust, and we say, "Victory, victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ!" Oh what a grand thing it is t o have Bin under foot and a wasted life behind our backs. "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is covered." "Some one "says 'How about the inture?" What, says the man, I feel so sick and worn out with the ailments of life. You are going t o be more than conqueror. But, says the man, I am so tempted, I am s o pursued Th lire. You are going t o be more than conqueror. I, who have so many ailments and heartaches, going to be you a r e , so self conceited that you want to manage all the affairs of y o u r | ' life yourself Instead of letting God manage them. Do you want to drive and have God take a back seat? "Oh no," you say, "I want God t o be my loader." Well, then, you will be mora than conqueror. Your last sickness will come, and the physicians in the next room will be talking about what they will do for you. What difference will i t make what they do for you? You are going to be well, everlastingly well. And when the spirit has fled the body, your friends will be talking as to where they shall bury you. What difference does i t make t o you where they bury you? The angel of the resurrection can pick you out of the dust anywhere, and all the cemeteries of the earth are i n God's care. Oh, you are going to be more than conqueror. Finishing the Arbor. My text brings us one step further. It says, "Go forth into the mount and fetch olive branches and pine branches and myrtle branches and palm branches and branches of thick trees." Now, you know very well—I make this remark under the head of branches of thick trees—that a booth or arbor made of slight branches would not stand. The first blast of the tempest would prostrate it. So then t h e booth or arbor must have four stout poles to hold up the arbor or booth, and hence for the building of the arbor for this world we must have stout branches of thick trees. And so it i s in the gospel arbor. Blessed be God that wc have a brawny Christianity, not one easily upset. The storms of life will come upon us, and we want strong doctrine; not only love, but Justice; not only invitation, but warning. It is a mighty gospel; it is a n omnipotent gospel. These are the stout branches of thick trees. I remember what Mr. Finney said in a schoolhouse. The village was s o bad it was called Sodom, and it was said to have only one good man in all the village, and he was called Lot, and Mr. Finney was preaching in the school house, and he described the destruction of Sodom, how the city was going t o be destroyed, unless they repented and that there would be rain from heaven of sorrow and destruction unless they, too, Repented. And the people in the school house sat and ground their teeth* in anger and clinched their fists in anger, but before he got through with his sermon they got down on their knees and cried for mercy while mercy could be found. Oh, it is a mighty gospel; not only an in SOME FBEAK CASES: J PECULIAR SUITS U. f . HA8 TAKEN INTO COURT. , Has Sued Dumb Animals and Inanimate Object* aad as a Besult Has Greatly Enriched the National Treasury— few elry Found Guilty. vitation, but a warning, an omnipotent truth, stout branches of thick trees. Well, my friends, you see I have omitted one or two points not because I forgot to present them, but because I have not time to present them. I have shown you hero is the olive branch of peace, here is the pine branch of evergreen gospel consolation, here the palm tree branch of usefulness and of victory, and here are the stont branches of-thick trees.—T-he. gospel arbor is done. The air is aromatic of heaven. The leaves rustle with the gladness of God. Come into the arbor. Come into the booth. I went out at different times with a fowler to the mountains to catch pigeons, and we made our booth, and we sat in that booth and watched for the pigeons to come. And w e found flocks in the sky, and after awhile they dropped into the net, and we were successful. So I come now to the door of this gospel booth. I look out. I see flocks of souls flying hither and flying thither. Oh, that they might come like clouds and as doves to the window. Come into the booth. Come into the booth. By following his. rigid rule of forever standing up for his rights, Uncle 3am becomes involved in some peculiar cases. On numerous occasions, for instance, he has sued inanimate objects and dumb animals, and as a result the treasury is greatly benefited. He i s busy, Just now, prosecuting numerous freak suits against inanimate things and animals. These helpless lawbreak breakers are held as defendants, just as though they were human beings. They are imprisoned In the custody of the court, and lawyers eloquently recite their misdeeds, for they are offenders in the unsparing eye of the law. Uncle Sam made a snug fortune by suing fifteen packages of diamonds smuggled last June through Niagara. A few days ago the federal court of the western New York district sentenced them to be sold. Thirty-one thousand dollars were poured Into the treasury as the result of this auction. Uncle Sam lately sued "581 diamonds, cut, etc." suspected of having been smuggled Into Michigan, but the District court dismissed the case, and they were liberated from the custody of the United States marshal. "The United States vs. one diamond and pearl bracelet, one diamond and pearl brooch with pendant, one pair diamond and pearl earrings and one diamond brooch," was the title of a case which lately went against the aforesaid Jewels in the district court of New Jersey. They were held guilty for allowing themselves to be smuggled and were sent down to the auctioneer. Misbehaving cattle have troubled Uncle Sam to a serious degree of late. He has arrested and tried no less than 1,023 within the past two years. They were all accused of coming Into the country in violation of the quarantine laws. In these cases it was deemed impracticable t o commit the defendants to jail, like common human offenders, or to lock them up In the marshal's safe, as the diamond rings were treated. The government had to AWEMCV* HOTTEST "PLACE. t W M e a t oj *tbe i>e»th Valley afeosedf Tha* of Other Spots. The Hottest . place, in &e- United sKateetso f a r a / t h * oflcisi-records go, is in the famous Death Valley, in, southern California, a dead sea gorga without the sea. The valley is narrow, only a few miles in width, but about 130 in length. It lies 40* feet below th* bottom of the sea, and Its bottom i s covered with a sheet of salt, white and glittering in the sun. The Amargosa river, although usually its bed i s dry* traverses a large desert tract in southern Nevada, flows to the south, when it flows at all, and ends in the Valley of Death, the northern portion of which gradually rises to the level of the surrounding deserts, so that the physical geography of the valley closely re- Bembles that of the Dead sea, great Salt lake, and other inland bodies of water having no outlet In 1891 a scientific expedition was sent t o the valley by the government, and for five months a weather station was maintained'in the valley for the purpose of observing the prevailing conditions. What they were may be best understood from the statement that for the entire month of July the average temperature for both day and night was 102 degrees, while an almost uniform record of 122 degrees was maintained during the day- . light hours. .1 ' -,,-,-V more than conqueror? Yea, unless NOTED WOMAN SUFFRAGIST. Gen. Cassias HI. Clay's Daughter Mas Done Mnch for Her Sex in Kentucky. Within the past twelve years Miss Laura Clay, woman suffragist and daughter of the. famous old Whitehall general, Casslus M. Clay, has revolur tionized the position of women in Kentucky. She Is the president and founder of the Equal Rights Association of Kentucky and under her leadership wonders have been accomplished. She is a mild-mannered, blue-eyed, roundfaced little woman Of pleasing address, but in pertinacity and vigorous intellect she is her noted father's daughter. From girlhood Bhe has been a stanch advocate o f the Idea that commercially, legally, professionally and politically, woman is and should be recognized as the equal of man. In 1888 she began the serious battle for this idea. She was ehosen president of the State Equal Rights Association in that year and appeared in Frankfort with certain Mils which the association wished to have passed. At first politicians laughed the matter away, but ere long they found occasion t o review their opinion of the equal rights propaganda. They passed some of the bills and thought that ended the matter, but the next session found the women lobbying a s actively a s ever. Bills were passed going a step further, and now the committee from the Equal Hlghts hire a pen wherein they could be kept under constant strrvelllaucce and out of the way of the enterprising journalistic interviewers. There being no docks in the courts to suitably accommodate them, they were denied an ear in their own trials and had to entrust their cases entirely t o their counsel. The greater number were found guilty and sentenced to pas3 under the hammer. "The United States vs. 1,736 pounds adulterated assafoedda" was a sensational case which lately called forth an eloquent and profound opinion from the circuit court of the eastern division of Michigan. The defendant when produced before the dignified tribunal remonstrated s o loudly that the spectators saw fit to clear the court and take to the fresh air of heaven. The records show that the honorable court sentenced the defendant "to condemnation and destruction." In the federal supreme court i s pending the case of the United States vs. certain vessels painted white," held for violating the law forbidding the importation of firearms into Alaska. A similar case "vs. one certain vessel painted light drab," was lately decided against the defendant, and she wa3 sentenced to "forfeiture and sale." But when Uncle Sam came to carry out the decree of the court he found that she had escaped from the custody of the authorities. The government has sued numerous schooners, tugs, steamboats and, other water craft in recent years. Cases in which a schooner and a tug are held as defendants are pending in the supreme court. Five photographs were recently sued fn California, twenty-one in New Jersey and "one lot" in Porto Rico. An of these pictures are accused of Immorality, and were sentenced t o "destruction by fire." "One gross of immoral articles," recently defendants in a Porto Rican case, suffered like punishment. Areas of land appear a s defendants in many cases before the federal courts. In the circuit court of Rhode Island was recently heard "the United States against certain lands in Jamestown,'* and "Against certain lands In Boetent Neck." These properties were defendants in condemnation proceedings, the government desiring their use.

For over three months the poor little fellow suffered excruciating torture. His father, who had done everything he could think of, saw a new Rheumatism Remedy advertised — Dodd's Kidney Pills. He bought some, and soon his little son showed signs of improvement. Three boxes cured him completely, and he has not a symptom of Rheumatism left. This miraculous cure of a case which had been given up by the physicians has electrified Madison County, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are a much talked of medicine.

Trembling a t every joint the fc^ng proceeded to the work. He pulled off t h e robe of purple silk, and cast i t down; then he took off the crown; and then t h e golden chain. Julian pickad them up, and turning once more tp the king, said: *'—^ "I will grant you one favor before I go. You came hither t o Bee me. II you have any question to ask, I will anawer it." The king started up as though h e had"Teceived promise of some great blessing. "Once I asked you who your j>*r- •ents were," he said. "You would a o t answer me. Will you answer *ne now?" "No, sir," replied Julia*. -"I w i n not speak their narae3 in your presence; nor will I give to you the name <of *he friend whom I love." "Be not too headstrong, air Tobber," urged the king. "Is that all for whidx you sought me?" asked the chlcfta$a, taking a step backward. "I sought thee to n«fl out "who .you are. I have a reason for asking." "What reason?" "There is something in your ftaee which interests me." # "Perhaps it looks Hke Tny father's," said Julian, bitterly. '<©, If you were not a poor, decrepit old man, I should smite thee; and I will take myself away a s speedily a s possible, lest my resolution fail me. Stand back—I will have no more to say unto thee. Thy slaves will find thee bece .<n the morning." The king would have followed Julian to the door, tent tthe robber put him forcibly back, and then, having picked up the lantern f*om the floor, he hastened c u t from the dungeon, after which Selim closed the door and bolted i t "His cries for help cannot be heard?" suggested Julian. "No," answered Osmir. "These solid walls will driific up the sound of his voice before it reaches the end of this first passage." — . "Then we have " nothing more to wait for. One lantern will suffice, so I will leave this one behind." Julian extinguished, the light, and then proceeded to aTray himself in the royal apparel; a»d when he had donned it and stood with his form bent and trembling, h i s companions assured him that he would pass for the monarch well enough. His face alone could betray him, and that could be easily concealed. — And now for the \ipper world. They stopped when they reached the place where the captain lay, and when they had assured themsehvee that he could not move until he had received help, they passed on. Up they went, Selim going ahead with the lantern, while Osmir followed close behind the disguised robber. Thus they passed on to the upper chambers, where sentinels were posted; but no one molested them. The seeming king walked with his head bent, and his arms folded upon his besom, and none dared to approach him. Osmir and Selim were known to be two of the most favored of the monarch's slaves, so their presence seemed all proper. On they went, as freely a s though moving over a desert plain, until they stood without the gate of the garden wall, a t which point Julian stopped and threw off the royal robe. "This chain of gold I shall "keep," he said; "not for its value a s a trinket, but that I may have a memento of this night's adventure with the king of Damascus. And now, good Osmir, let us hasten to the place where my faithful Hobaddan waits for me." • In the darkness of the night, by well known ways, the blacks led the robber chieftain towards the dwelling at the prime minister, being stlH ready to serve him in the face of any danger. CHAPTER XIII. From One Danger Into Another. Ulin would not retire until she had heard from Osmir, who had gone out in behalf of the robber chieftain. She sat i n her chamber, with a single lamp dimly burning, and her faithful bondmalden kept her company. "I feel," said Albia, breaking in upon a long silence, "that we have done no more than our duty in lending our aid to t h e cause of the imprisoned chieftain." "We have done our duty to the city," returned Ulin, hesitatingly. "If Julian is set free it will save much trouble to our king." "Or" cried the bondmalden, impul* •ively, "I ^on't care for the king. When he la-your huihand, then I may I Shubal. respect him, but I do not care for him oow. I care more for the noble, generous, handsome Julian. I cannot forget how kindly h e treated us, and now like a brother he bore himself. And, one thing more, I cannot forget how sad h e looked when he left us i n the Palace of the Valley. As (true as I live, I think 1 almost love him. He i s the best looking man I ever saw." "Albla, 7 0 « must not talk i n that manner fe&Sore me." "Par-ton, m y lady. I meant no harm."" "I do not chide you—I do not blame you. But—the name of the daring robber is not one that should be used i n my presence." "Dear lady," plead Albia, "had° I regarded Julian as a real criminal, I should not have used his name a s I 'did. "But I looked upon him as a man more honorable and true than—" "Enough, Albia. Let us drop that subject now. What is the hour?" "Jt is past midnight—I should think an hour past." "Then go down into the garden and see if Osmir has returned." Albia departed without speaking further, and when the princess was left alone she arose from her seat and walked across the floor. "I do not think I have done wrong," she said t o herself, "in lending my aid to this robber. I shall never s e e him again. I do not wish t o see him any more. And I do not suppose he would care to see me. I hope he will escape—I hope he will prosper i n the years to come." She ceased speaking aloud, and pressed her hand upon her heart as though the other feellng3 must not come forth. In half an hour Albia came back. Her step was light and quick, and a look of satisfaction beamed on her handsome face. "0, my dear mistress," she cried, as soon as she had closed the door behind her, "Julian is saved!" "Thank heaven!" ejaculated the princess, devoutly. "He is saved, and has now started to leave the city." "Hnw WAR It Ann*?" .' "Ocmir and Selim came with him; and I only know that they led him forth from his prison. Hobaddan was in our garden, and when h e saw his noble young master he fell upon his neck and kissed him, and wep.t for joy. They did not stop long, for they had not the time to spare. Hobaddan came to me and blessed me, and bade me assure my gentle mistress that he would pray for her while h e had life and reason. I saw them depast, and then T turned back." "I hope they will meet with no more danger," said Ulin half to herself. "They will not be long in finding a place of safety," returned Albia. "And now, my mistress, what of ourselves?" The princess started, and clasped her hands. "It is now almost two hours past midnight, and in three more hours the light of day will be upon us." "0, Albia. I must flee from Damascus. I dare not remain here." "Of course we are to flee," said the bondmalden. "We had promised that before Hobaddan carae. You told me ycu would flee this very night." "And I will keep my word if I can," responded Ulin, resolutely. "You were to plan for our departure." "It is all arranged, my mistress. Shubal will accompany us. I have talked with him, and he is ready. He says ho can procure horses just without t h e gates of the city; and he knows the way to the cave of Bon Hadad. Once with the kind old hermit, and you are safe." Ulin had no need for further thought upon t h e subject, for she had firmly resolved that she- .would flee. The more she thought of union with the king t h e more terrible appeared the fate. At times she blamed herself for having admitted the idea of marriage with Horam; but she did not feel that she had willingly done wrong. When she gave herself to the royal acceptance she knew nothing of the w o r l d - knew nothing of the trials she would have to endure—and knew little of the character of the* man who wore the crown. Since that time she had gained knowledge, and her eyes had been opened. The case dwelt in her mind now as one of life or death, and she felt that she must save herself. "I must write a few words to my father," she said. "But you will not tell him where you have gone?" "No. I will only tell him w h y I have g o n e I must do that. Oet me the writing materials, Albia; and while I am writing you may go and find parehment, a sharpened reed, and a small pot W Ink; and when she had arranged them upon the table she left the apartment Ulin t a t down t o the work without further hesitation, and wrote to her father the reason of her flight When she had written all that she deemed necessary, s h e placed t h e parchment where he would be likely t o find it, and then proceeded to gather up the few articles she meant t o take with her. She moved steadily about the work, and If she trembled, it was more from anxiety than from fear of what s h e was doing. She took her jewels, of which she possessed a rich store, and also packed up a few articles of clothing. She had just accomplished this when Albla returned. Shubal was a stout, kind-hearted slave, who had been many years in the family, and his attachment for his young" mistress was strong and true. When she called upon him to serve her, he had no questions t o ask, save how he should please her best. "Shubal," said the princess, "do ypu know what you have to do?" "Yes.my lady, I have t o serve you." "But do you know why I have called for you now?" "Yes. I am t o go with you from the city." "And you are willing?" "Yes, lady—I am willing and I am glad." "Then we have nothing more to detain us. Albia, are you ready" "Yes, my mistress." Ulin stepped back to her dressingtable and picked up her jewels, and for a moment she bowed her head upon her folded hands. When she looked up her fair brow was serene, and the tremulousnes3 had gone, from her lip. Shubal took the bundle of clothing, and then the party moved out from the chamber. They gained the garden, and passed out by the small gate; and when they had reached the street they led off with a quick step. There was a sentinel at the city gate, but he did not trouble those who passed o u t As Shubal had promised, he found horses at a small stable beyond the wall, and in less than an hour from the time of leaving her chamber the princess was safely In the saddle, with her face turned toward the northern mountains. At the distance of two leagues from t h e city they came to a small strip of wood, through which their path lay. where they stopped to let their horse3 drink from a living spring. Shubal had dismounted to hand some water up to the females, and was just 3=2 PE-RU-NA 0" DANGER In That Critical Time When a Girl Becomesa Woman. ;niiHii»»»iiinnn»i)niiiitiiii»iiiiiiuinmi; possible."

It was too dark t3 distinguish features, but Shubal could see that the stranger was tall and stout, and that his garb was not of Damascus. "Ha! Who is this" demanded Shubal moving back a pace. "I am a man, and have sought the spring for fresh water," was the a n - swer. "And now, who are you?" Shubal recognized the voice of an Arab; and as he gazed more sharply on the fellow, he was able to see that the garb was wild and filthy. "I have sought this spring as you have, Sir Arab." "Ah, you recognize my tongue and nation, do you?" "Yes, and it would seem that you are even with me." "I know you are a slave, but that does not tell me whence you come." "I come from Damascus." "Ah—from Damascus! And you have ladies« with you. Perhaps they have money with them. Perhaps they have jewels. Damascus is a wealthy city, and her people seldom travel with empty purses." Shubal started up, and laid his hand upon the hilt of h i s sword. "Your words give token of a curious disposition, Sir Arab." "Words are nothing. With a simple contracting of the lips I can produce a sound that has power to call up spirits from the earth. Hark!" (To be continued.) MISS BESSIE KELLOG. Miss Bessie Kellog, President of the Young Woman's Club, of Valley City, North Dakota, writes the following from First street, South, Valley City, North Dakota: "Ever since I matured I suffered with severe Monthly pains. The doctor did not seem to understand what the trouble was and the medicine he pre* scribed from time to time did not help me. He finally suggested that I have an operation. One of my Mends who had been cured of a similar affliction through the use of Peruna, advised me to give It a trial first, and so I used It for three weeks faithfully.

They are good air, good food, suitable Nothing, cleanliness and exercise and /est. The first two requirements affect the blood, and as the blood circulates all over the body, including the brain, every part is affected. Fre3h air affects the purity of the blood. The freshest air is out of doors, and it is the duty or every one wno wishes to be in good health to spend a certain amount of time in the open air. Good food is not necessarily expensive food. Exercise and rest should alternate and balance each other. It is quite possible to take too much exercise, and this side of the question must be guarded against as carefully as the other.

An evening contemporary has been informing its readers that they can use the same calendars every twenty years—when the dates of the month fall on the same days of -the week—- thereby avoiding the expense of five almanacs for the present century, But here i s something better than that. Persons who have the double advantage of ancient family and careful forefathers, by turning up the calendars— unfortunately they are - not printed ones, for the twelfth century, by Solomon Jarchus, will find the days and dates coincident with the present century. Such persons can save the expense of buying for 100 years. Again those with a frugal mind, who have preseved the almanacs of the nineteenth century, will avoid an outlay for calendars of the century commencing Jan. 1, 2201. as the dates foi the 100 yeara following will be coin- I am sure Piso's Cure for Consumpton saved my life three years airo,—Mrs. THOS.

Milk, cream and batter are of exceeding perishable natures, and, like nil quick decaying.articles of food, they are hotbeds for breeding all kinds of destructive bacteria. The only way to fight this enemy is by celerity of action. Hurry the milk from the cow and out of the stable. Hurry the cream from the milk and spare as little time as possible In getting the cream into the churn and the butter to the customer. To carry out this idea clean the stable, clean the cow, milk Into covered pails, use a separator, use a cream starter, use a swing churn and start the butter to the customer the night of the day it Is made. This, says L. S. Hardin in Home and Farm, is a strict business principle and should be pushed for all It is worth, and that means large profits for the trouble taken, for it may be safely stated that you will lose 2 to 3 cents a pound on your butter for every day you linger past the SO hours necessary to carry out the plan outlined above. • « * » • _ _ . . •:re much more brilliant 'j coming than at other Stop t b e Couffb ttn<1 t v o r k a o f f t b e Coltl.

It is not very hard work on the men, nothing like so hard as 4to cut either by hand or with a'sled cutter, and it is evident to my mind tha* we will be compelled to adept the binder as the system of corn eutting, for it is almost impossible'to hire men to go into the tornfield and cut corn by hand at any price, and we have had to pay more for cutting the fodder than the feed was worth after it was cut. With the harvester tae work is much easier and faster. One can commenco several days earlier, as the shock;* stand'moro open and will dry owt better than when putvup without binding, and one can make the shocks much larger if desired, and tliey will st:ind up bettvr than when loose.

Tile-pickle worm is destructive mainly to the-fruit of the cantaloupe, squash aivi cucumber by eating cavities or channels in the rind or by boring quite to the interior. The first crop of cucurbits, as a rule, escapes its ravages, but late cucurbits are usually badly'infested. In the north the pickle worm may be Injurious only during occasional years, hat in'the south, particularly the Caro- CA>TALOUPE AND PICKLE WOBitS. linas, Georgia and Florida, cucurbit fields are rarely free from it during late summer and fall. The pickle worm feeds ou most varieties of cucurbits, but it has a decided preference for tke squash; therefore trap plants of summer squash are used as a protection, and as the trap crop must be kept growing as long as protection Is necessary seed is planted ever?' two weeks or so.

Experiments In cheese curing which have been conducted for two years at the Geneva (X. Y.) experiment station have results of the highest importance from the commercial standpoint Cheeses have been cured at temperatures varying from 55 degrees F. to 80 degrees F.. the higher temperatures representing the common factory conditions. ** Of the cheeses made^Jn 1889 those eared at 60 degrees - F. and below scored on the average almost five points higher on flavor and 2.5 points higher on texture than those cured at 65 degrees F. and above. In 1900 the average difference in flavor of tfee lower temperature was 5.3 points on flavor and 2.7 points on texture. This is a matter well worth the attention of all cheese factory managers, because these differences in commercial quality are sufficient to cause important differences in the selling price. iitff.4.,."l C p w y e f t s .

Those who have outlived the awful vicissitudes of their campaigns, however, and have enjoyed the calm of industrial and business life since their campaigns closed, will be there in surprising numbers.

Depleted numbers, the advanced age . and accumulating infirmities of those who survive, tb.3 disappearances of | readers of history fully comprehend the magnitude of the civil war, the wonderful courage it revealed and the intensity of thejeeling which gave thousands of men year after year to the battlefield. The veterans alone perfectlug a veterans' organization. The first pest, was formed at Decatur, 111., on the evening of April *6, 1866, and this, with two pests established at Springfield, adopted the principles which have been the cardinal doctrines of the organization. Ever since the first national conyention in 1866—the annual gatherings were not officially styled "encampments" until the following year—the Grand Army has played an important role in the history of the nation. It has done much for the relief of its own members. It has done much for charity, and it should not be forgotten that in several instances this charity—notably during the times of the Mississippi valley yellow fever outbreaks and the Charlestown earthquake— was directed to the relief of former enemies. But most of all it has been a beneficial factor in keeping alive the sentiments of loyalty and patriotism. Such an organization is' without parallel among the societies of war tient courage and endurance were necessary to live through the years of the rebellion. Considering the nature of that experience it is not surprising that the bond among the veterans should be strong. Their reunions commemorate events which loom large in the world's history.

A Splendid Selection. Cleveland has been making ample PERRY STATUE. posts by the death of members, will end in the not distant future the history of the grand army—an organization that has had a career that stamps it as unique in itself, without reference to the exceptional nature of the great events from which it took Its rise. Held together entirely by community of sentiment and a spirit of mutual helpfulness, its existence has been a perpetual reminder of the strength of the bonds and the intensity of the patriotic spirit which united the men engaged in the war. F i r s t O. A. B. P o t t . The Grand Army of the Republic has had a life of about thirty-five years. The war was over and the re-unlted nation was just beginning to take up the work of peace when the first pest was formed. The origin of the order is traced to a meeting of veterans at Springfield, 111., during the winter of 1865-66, when Dr. F. B. Stephenson who was a surgeon in the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry, tcok the initiative in S a n p n o n I'nMonnd M e n t a l l y . The attorneys for Admiral Schley have been privately informed by the "riends of Admiral Sampson that his jealth is such that he will not be able to appear as a witness before the court )f inquiry. A news dispatch from Adniral Sampson's home guardedly intimated the real situation. It said: "He is gaining in physical strength, but his mental health continues to steadily fail." In other words, it is suggested that Ills mental state is such that he is not •ompetent to give testimony. For more than a year rumors have been ?oming from Boston concerning SanTpson's mental indisposition. Recent reports seem to give substantial corroboration: for instance, friends are now raying that he cannot remember in the ifternoon what he said or did hi the morning. Schley's attorneys, discussing this levelopment. say they will insist upon the certificates of naval surgeons to the effect that he is unable to come to Washington.

It Is feared In official circlet of Washington that the withdrawal of the French ambassador from Constantinople marks the dissolution of the concert of European powers under which the intergrity of Turkey wat guaranteed. J By the Treaty of Berlin all the great powers of Europe subscribed to' an agreement to refrain from any act that would tend to the destruction of~the Ottoman empire. This action was taken to forestall what were conceived to be the designs of Russia to seize on Turkish territory, and Russia was led to subscribe to the agreement by force of circumstances. Although several times severely strained, notably by such events as the last war between Turkey and Greece, amendment, but it is apprehended that if the action of France is carried out to the extreme indicated in dispatches, each of the other signatory powers will feel obliged in self-protection to disregard the agreement and press on Turkey vast financial and other claims that have accumulated in the last quarter of a century, with a result of disrupting the present Turkish government.

Free quarters have been provided for from 25,000 to 30,000 veterans In school houses and halls, similar to the plan adopted by Chicago, and which worked so successfully last year. The Forest City is a place of armories and monuments, and has many points of historic interest. Foremost among these is the tomb of the late President Garfield, whose home was In Mentor, only twenty-four miles from Cleveland. The mausoleum Is located in Lake View cemetery, on a high piece of ground, and is the Mecca o' many visitors to the city. The statue of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812, was dedicated September 10, 1860, the anniversary of Perry's great victory. Some years ago it was removed from the public square, where it had been originally placed, and taken to a beautiful spot in Wade park, where it now stands. In the very heart of the business section of the city stands one of the grandest soldiers' monuments in the United States. Within its walls are relics of wars and the names of departed heroes chiseled in the marble surroundings. This monument will no doubt be one of the greatest attractions at the encampment and will doubtles3 be visited by every veteran in-attendance. Located but two blocks from the public square Is the Central armory, a large and magnificent building, where campftres by the veterans will be held.

Dark Varieties the Money Mmhtfi, 'With Wlndiur In the Lead. The best sweet cherries I have men south of central New York are, along the fences where the cultivator has not disturbed them. In northern Delaware there ore several famous sweet cherries in the fence rows and corners, bat neatly all of the orchards that I have seen la wW<* joadern cultivation Methods are attempted have been failures. In central and eastern New York the sweet cherry has to be kept on medium thin land. My father has a young, orchard that is booming on land that would be considered poor for foftni&g purposes, but the trees respond there to j tillage. The sour cherries will probably do best under high culture. While they grow well along the fences, they need more moisture than the sweet varieties and pay well under the best treatment. The dark^kiads are the money makers. Black Tartarian, Black Eagle, "Windsor and Dikemaa are the leading sorts at home. There is big moneg in Windsor, and if Dikeman turns out as we expect it there ought to be more in it. Sometimes the sweet cherry needs Ikne and dies for waut of it. Some kinds need it more than others. Tartarian, I believe, is one of them. Thus writes Professor G. H. Powell to Rural New Yorker. .< ft a r S a l e .

Black The Blacksmith, Anderson, Mich. The "Fitch" A qua tie Cream Separator* If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedendfi upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperture aud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the oream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and olean, and requires lees than half the time formerly required to chum it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans, needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. Yon can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it ail in all, it tares the women's work, costs lees than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saying enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

We have our doubts about its being a very acceptable proposition to the many cottagers and tourists unless a wonderful change takes place in the general state of things at these annual encampments. Here is another puzzle. A man with seventy-tive cents in his pocket was cooipeled to raise $1.00. So he pawned his seventy-tive cents for titty cents and then sold his pawn ticket to a friend for titty cents, thus securing the dollar needed. Who lost t.e money by the transaction? The weather bureau is short of me*- engers. The position pays $360 a year, and applicants with a grammar school education can pass the civil service examination, whicu will be held in October. In specter Conger says it is a good opening for young men who wish to enter the weather service as advancements to assistant observers are generally made from messengers. The rural delivery department of the postofflce at Washington is making inquiries in regard to the condition ot the roads over which the free delivery service extends. The depart* meats want to know not the preeent conditions of the roads, but what it was during the winter as well. Inquiry is also made as to how many trips were lost on account of anow drift and just exactly who was responsible tor lot impassable condition ot the roads, if such was the case.

On Friday Sept. 6,1901, in the aboye building at Buffalo, N. Y., a most dastardly attempt was made on the iite of President McKinley. when one, Czolgosz a young anarchist at 20 years of aae, shot him twice while in the act of shaking his band at an informal reception. The fiend was overpowered and is languishing in a cell awaiting the outcome of his fiendish act. it it a wonder, also a pity, that Czolgosz was not killed on the spot and an example made of one who would even tna«e an attempt on the life ot the Chief Executive of the U. S. If McKinley Uves, ten years would be the extent of the penalty which could be reduced to seven by good behavior. At las? reports Pres. McKinley was on the wav to recovery and unless something sets in to complicate the wounds he will be able to attend his duties in a few months. In the meantime Vice Pres. Rossefelt has assumed the duties encumbent upon him in a case of this kind, and although not a coward duty to the people deraandsjthat be be protected by a body guard. It is thought that Czolgosz belongs to a fyand of anarchists and every art is being used to make him implicate others in the plot. v$9 : • ( * : W. W. Barnard was in Howell first of the wees. the W.

Talmage shows the folly of allowing forebodings to Influence us and how expectation of evil weakens aaddeetroys; text, Matthew vl, 34, ^SaHeieai unto the day is the evil •thereof." The life el every man, woman and •ehtld is as closely under the divine 4jara as though such person were the •only man, woman or child. There are no accidents. As there is a law of ti^ldiiff oji MW-raMons or„e aaiior en short allowance; that a man should stand neck; deep In harvests looking forward* to famine;, that one should feel the strong pulses of health inarch* Ing with regular tread through all the avenues of life and yet tremble at the expected assault of sickness; that a man should sit in bis pleasant home fearful that ruthless want will some day rattle the broken , window sash with tempest and sweep the coals from the hearth and pour hunger into the bread tray; that a man fed by him who own* all the harvests should expect to starve; that one whom JBod loves and surrounds with benediction and attends with angelic escort and hovers over with more than motherly fondnests should be looking for a heritage of tears! Has God been hard with thee that thou shouldst be foreboding? Has he stinted thy board? Has he covered thee with rags? Has he spread traps for thy feet, and galled in the natural world, so there thy cup, and rasped thy soul, and ft a law of trouble, a law of disaster, a wrecked thee with storm, and thunderlaw of misfortune; but the majority en upon thee with, a life full of caot the troubles of life are imaginary, 4amity? ^ . ^ _ . _* ^, *,-, * - J «-»_ Work of 8elf-Ex»mlo»tloa. Many Christians think it a bad sign to be jubilant, and their work of selfexamination is a hewing down of their brighter experiences. Like a boy with a new jockknife, hacking everything he comes across, so their self-examination is a religious cutting to pieces of the greenest things they can lay their hands on. They imagine they are doing God's service when they are going about borrowing trouble, and borrowing it at 30 per cent, which is always a sure precursor of bankruptcy. Again, the habit of borrowing trouble is wrong because the present is sufficiently taxed with trial. God sees that we all need a certain amount of trouble, and so he apportions it for all the days and years of our life. Alas for the policy of gathering it all up for one day or year! Cruel thing to put upon the back of one camel all the cargo intended for the entire caravan. I never look at my memorandum book to see what engagements and duties are far ahead. Let every week bear its own burdens. The shadows of today are thick enough. Why implore the presence of other shadows? The -cup is already distasteful. Why halloo to disasters far distant to come and wring out more gall in the bitterness? Are we such champions that, having won the best the mttt of those anticipated nev cr come. At any rate, there is no cause of complaint against God. See how much he has done to make you nappy, bis sunshine filling the earth with glory, making rainbow for the storm and halo for the mountain, greenness for the moss, saffron for the caaud and crystal for the billow and procession of bannered flame through the opening gates of the morning, chaffinches to sing, rivers to glitter, none to chant and springs to blossom, and overpowering all otyrer sounds with its song and overarching all •other splendor with its triumph, covering up all other beauty with its garlands and tutflashing all thrones with its dominion—deliverance for a lost world through the Great Redeemer. Borrowing' Trouble. I discourse of the sin of borrowing trouble. First, such a habit of mind and heart la wrong, because it puts one into a •despondency that ill fits him for duty. I planted two rosebushes in my garden; the one thrived beautifully, the other perished. I found the dead one on the shady side of the house. Our •dispositions, like our plants, need sunshine. Expectancy of repulse is the cause of many secular and religious failures. Fear of the bankruptcy has nntorn -many a line business and sent the man dodging among the note shavers. Fear of slander and abuse often invited all the long-beaked "I do not think I If he gives, he BSiwfff? wr vultures of scorn and backbiting. Many of the misfortunes of life, like hy- «nas, flee if you courageously meet them. How poorly prepared for religious duty ia a man who sits down under the gloom of expected misfortune! If he prays, he says, shall be answered." says, 'T expect they will steal the money." Helen Chalmers told me that her father, Thomas Chalmers, in the darkest hour of the history of the Free Church of Scotland and when the woes of the land seemed to weigh open his heart said to his children. "Come, let us go out and play ball or fly kite," and the only difficulty in the piay was that the children could not keep tip with their father. The HfcCheynes and the Summerfields of the church Who did the most good tolled in the sunlight. Away with the horrors! They distill poison; they dig graves, and if they could climb so high they would drown the rejoicings of heaven with sobs and wailing. Watching for Misfortune. "You will have nothing but misfortune In the future if you sedulously watch for i t How shall a man catch the right kind of fish if he arranges 'his fine and hook and bait to catch lizards and water serpents? Hunt Cor bats and hawks, and bats and hawks you will find. Hunt for robin redbreasts, and you will find robin redbreasts. One night an eagle and an owl got Into fierce battle. The eagle, unused to the night, was no match for ^he owl, which is most at home in the darkness, and the king of the air fell helpless. But the morning rose, and with it rose the eagle, and the owls and the night hawks and . the bats came a second time to the combat. Now, the eagle in the sunlight, with a stroke of his talons and a great cry cleared the air, and his enemies, with torn feathers and splashed with blood, tumbled into the thickets. Ye are the 'Children of light. In the night of despondency yon will have no chanco -against your enemies that flock up from beneath; but, trusting in God -and *rt*nd*f in the sunshine of the • promises, yon than "renew your youth Utke the eagle." Again, the habit of borrowing trou- We Is wrong because it has a tendency to make as overlook present blessing. ;To slake man's thirst the rock is cleft, m&6 cool waters leap into his brim- *adng eup. To feed his hunger the .Holds bow down with bending wheat, sand the cattle come down from the *• stover pastures to give him milk, and the orchards yellow and ripen, casting their jntay traits into *1* Up. Alas, that amid such exuberance of blessing jean should growl as though he were in former encounters, we can go forth to challenge all the future? Do Not Worry. Here are business men just able to manage affairs as they now are. They can pay their rent and meet their notes and manage affair3 as they now are, but how if a panic should come and my investments should fail? Go tomorrow and write on your daybook or on your ledger, on your money safe, "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Do not worry about notes that are far from due. Do not pile up on your counting desk the financial anxieties of the next 20 years. The God who has taken care of your worldly occupation, guarding your store from the torch of the incendiary and the key of the burglar, will be as faithful in 1910 as in 1901. God's hand is mightier than the machinations of stock gamblers or the plots of political demagogues or the red right arm of revolution, and the darkness will fly and the storm faH dead at his feet. So there are persons in feeble health, and they are worried about the future. They make out very well now, but they are bothering themselves about future pleurisies and rheumatisms and neuralgias and fevers. Their eyesight is feeble, and they are worried lest they entirely lose it. The*r hearing Is indistinct, and they are alarmed lest they become entirely deaf. They felt chilly today and are expecting an attack of typhoid. They have been troubled for weeks with some perplexing malady and dread becoming lifelong invalids. Take care of your health now and trust God for the future. Be not guilty of the blasphemy of asking him to take care of you while you sleep with your windows tight down or eat chicken salad at 11 o'clock at night or sit down on a cake of ice to cool off. Be prudent, and then be confident. Some of the sickest people have been the most useful. It was so with Payson, who died deaths daily, and Robert Hall, who used to stop in the midst of his sermon and lie down on the pulpit sofa to rest and then go on again. Theodore Frelinghuysen had a great horror of dying till the time came and then went peacefully. Take care of the present, and let the future look out for itself. "Sufficient unto the day Is the evil thereof." Borrowing Mlsfortose. Again, the habit of borrowing misfortune is wrong because it unfits us for it when it actually does come. We cannot always have smooth sailing. Life's path will sometimes tumble among declivities and mount a steep and be thorn pierced. Judas will kiss our cheek and then sell us for 80 pieces of silver. Human scorn will try to crucify us between two thieves. We will hear the iron gate of the eepulchtr creak and grind as it shuts in tor these things br fwshedtngai They who light imaginary woes will comi out of breath into conflict with tb4 armed disasters of the future. They ammunition will have been wastes' long before they come under the gum of real misfortune. Boys in attempt* ting to jump a wall sometimes go so 'far back in order to get impetus that when they come up. they are exhausted, and these long races in order to get spring enough to vault trouble bring us up at last to the dreadful realisation with our strength gone. Finally, the habit of borrowing trouble is wrong because it is unbelief. God has promised to take care of us. The Bible blooms with assurances. Tour hunger will be fed; your sickness wilt be alleviated; your sorrows will be healed. God will sandal your feet and smooth your path, and along by frowning crag and opening grave sound the voices of victory and good cheer. The summer clouds that seem thunder charged really carry in their bosom harvests of wheat and shocks of corn and vineyards purpling for the winepress. The wrathful wave Will klBs the feet of the great Storm Walker. Our great Joshua will command, and above your soul the sun of prosperity will stand still. Bleak and wave struck Patmos shall have apocalyptic vision, and you shall hear the cry of elders and the sweep of wings and trumpets of salvation and the voice of hallelujah unto God forever. Dangerous Bridle Paths. Your way may wind along dangerous bridle paths and amid wolf's howl and the scream of the vulture, but the way still winds upward till angels guard it, and trees of life overarch it, and thrones line it, and crystalline fountains leap on it, and the pathway ends at gates that are pearl and streets that are gold and temples that are always open and hills that quake with perpetual song and a city mingling forever Sabbath and jubilee and triumph and coronation. Let pleasure chant her siren song; 'Tis not the song for me. To weeping it will turn ere long. For this is heaven's decree. But there's a song the ransomed sing To Jesus, their exalted King, With joyful heart and tongue. Oh, that's the song for me! Courage, my brother! The father does not give to his son at school enough money to last him several years, but, as the bills for tuition and board and clothing and books come in, pays them. So God will not give you; grace all at once for the future, but will meet all your exigencies as they come. Through earnest prayer trust him. People ascribe the success of a certain line of steamers to business skill and know not the fact that when that line of steamers started the wife of the proprietor passed the whole of each day when a steamer started in prayer to God for Its safety and the success of the line. Put everything In Gous hands and leave it there. Large interest money to pay will soon eat up a iarm, a store, an estate, and the interest on borrowed troubles will swamp anybody. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." LANG ON AMERICAN HrSTORTHe 8ay» It H i » Little. If Anr, of the "OMnrro" Element. American history, as far as I know it, has not mystery enough for a really exciting romance. Nobody of the highest importance ever vanished away, disappeared; nobody except a certain regicide, and he was of English importation. The amiable and beautiful wife of none of your Presidents was ever accused of plotting, with an Admiral of your fleet, to blow up the President in the White House, the question of her guilt remaining deliciously obscure. Not one of your Presidents, after fighting his way to within a lance's length of a hostile general, ever vanished away, leaving public opinion uncertain as to whether he had gone, literally, to Jericho, or been put down a well. No occupant of the White House ever had two nephews who disappeared from the state prison, nor did any sane citizen ever torn up who claimed to be one of these missing children. Finally, your republic never kept a captive in a black velvet mask, concerning whom it was disputed whether he was a European diplomatist, a valet, s royal duke, a distinguished actor, a member of the Bonaparte family, a high-class Irish patriot or—the rightful President, whose place was being occupied by an impostor. The chronicles of Europe, especially of France, Scotland, and England, are rich in this kind of Rembrandtlike effects.

Sanitarium, C o l u m b i a CARNEGIE PAYS OLD DEBT. Gives Gencroaa Interest on • Small Loan of Loo*. Ago. Who would not be a creditor of Mr. Andrew Carnegie? An American firm doing business in London recently asked Its patrons to suggest ideas for the distribution of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's wealth. Mr. Henry D. Lennox of Glasgow advised that the millionaire repay a loan of 11 shillings made by his aunt to aid the Carnegies to emigrate from Dunfermline in 1847. Mr. Lennox computed that at compound interest £$ was due. Mr. Carnegie has investigated the matter and found that Mr. Lennox was quite right in bis claim. The debt will not only-be paid, but the children of Mrs. Lennox will be endowed with a sum sufficient to keep them in comfort as long as they live. Mr. Lennox said in his letter: "When the Carnegies left Dunfermline they were so poor that the mother had to borrow money to take them to the United States. My aunt, though a poor woman herself, helped them-out to the extent of 11 shillings, but the promise to return the loan evidently escaped the memory of the beneficiaries, because they never repaid the sum borrowed. My aunt is dead, but she left two daughters, one of whom is the wife of a humble joiner in Dunfermline, while the other is a maiden lady engaged in a small drapery business In Edinburgh. Don't you think that if Mr. Carnegie knew this he would be willing to do handsomely by his mother's friends?" Mr. Carnegie called in person on the children of his benefactor, and thanked them for tho generosity of their mother. Prom minus 11 shillings to plus £70,000,000 is a financial transformation that would have stagered the good genie of Aladdin's lamp, but Mr. Carnegie found it not overhard.—London Express. Reasons WOMEN AS READERS, 'Bead' Vja* It is one thing to wish to have truth on our side, and another thing to wish to be on the side of truth,— Archbishop Whateley, "Mission Style" Furniture. The very newest thing in the way of furniture is called the "mission style," and was first suggested to the inventor by seeing an old Spanish mission chair brought from California in 1894. Its quaint outlines and interesting construction indicate the possibility of a scheme of handmade furniture built on the old early English architectural lines. Its name, "mission furniture," is aptly applied. There ia a restfulness to the eye and hand in the different pieces, and, though generally straight in line, there is nothing angular in effect Persons accustomed to Icvlshly carved framework might not approve of its unconventional and simple structure. Built of native ash, stained in browns, grays and greens; it Is guiltless of ornament, and no carving, not even a molding, diverts attention from the severely straight lines. There are solid-looking chain* for the dining-room with rush and leather bottoms, quaintly shaped writing tables for the library, cabinets for china, and all sorts of comfortable rockers in which to indulge in an af> ternoon siesta. Why They Do Not on Polities*. Vij The criticism often has been made* f that in railroad trains, waiting, rooms* dining rooms, street cars, everywhere, men are absorbed in the daily papers while women either do not read-them or merely skim the fashion and society columns. Women, it 1B said,, take no. interest in current events; and. hence are not fitted to participate in public affairs. A philosophical explanation may be found in the old adage; 'They have no need of keys who have no doors to unlock." Men of all classes scan the dally paper to learn the latest develop* ment in politics with as much, avidity as the average school girl seizes upon the next chapter in the serial story. They observe the political situation in other countries, because, in a measure^ it is interwoven with their own. They feel the keen interest because they themselves can help in the making of this history. It is natural that men should be deeply Interested ih. matters which they themselves have power to shape and control. Why should women give that close attention to public af- . fairs? Who cares for their opinion after it is formed? For how much does it Count in influencing government? It is said that the next year after the women of Colorado were en> franchised more works on political eeo^sj; nomy were sold than In ail Its previous, history. The women of that state are today as careful readers of. the newspapers as are the men. Give women everywhere the same incentive and they will become as well, informed; IX id true that the masses of' women do not keep so closely in touch srith current events as do the masses of men, and yet thousands of thi» generation have an Intelligent understanding: off them where ten of the past had' no> knowledge whatever. There is not one of the vital questions crowding upon us so closely and rapidly at the present time which affects women as deeply as it does men.—Susan R, Anthony/ in Chicago Chronicle.

"You have no occasion for fear, lady. But tell me—who are you?" "I am the daughter of Aboul Cassem, the prime minister of Damascus." Could .'Albia have moved quickly enough, she would have prevented her mistress from answering this question, but the story had b?en told. Ulin innocently thought that the name of her father would strike the marauders with awe, and that they would fear to molest her further, but In this she was somewhat mistaken,- as subsequent eventvpfoved. — " ''By my life, comrades," cried he, who seemed to be the leader of the party, "we have found a rich prize. Hold still, noble lady. We will'not harm you. Let us look to this unruly slave of yours, and then you shall be properly cared for. You might have fallen into wor»e hands than ours." When Ulin had collected her senses, so that she could observe and compre- . hend things about her, she looked to see her real situation. She counted eight of the Arabs, and she had no doubt that they were robbers. Four of them were securing the slave, while the other four were watching the horses. Shubal was very soon pinioned, and restored to his feet, after which she and Albia were lifted from • their saddles. "Don't be alarmed," said the leader, as the princess cried out for mercy. "You shall be restored to your horses very soon. We have horses close at hand, and when they are brought, you shall be on your way again." "You will set Shubal free?" "He shall be free soon enough. Rest easy a few moments, lady. One of my men has gene after our animals. We left them upon the other side of the wood.** "But why have you taken us from our horses?" asked our heroine. **You will see that anon, fair lady. Ah—here comes my man. Now, my fair damsels, you shall understand the whole matter. These horses of yours are not such ones as I would have you ride. I have some here much better." "What does' he mean?" asked Ulin, speaking In a low tone to her bondmaiden. "Wait," replied Albia. trying td conceal her real suspicions. "They may inform us." Before Ulin could ask another question the Arab leader came forward with two horses, upon which he directed his companion to fix the ladies' saddles; and when this had been done he turned to the princess, and informed her that she might take her seat again. She would have opposed the movement, but a strong hand was laid upon her, and, almost before she knew it,: she was once more upon her saddle. "You will excuse me," the fellow said, "but as this horse will not carry you quite so easily as your own, I will secure yon in your place." As he spoke he passad a strong cord about Ulin's body, and fastened it to the girth upon either side. The same thing was done for Albia, and then Attention was directed to Shubal, who was seated upon another strange horse, and likewise hound in his place, "Whit can they mean?" asked the princess* gaining Another opportunity to speak to her atteadant "I daft aot gue.s," said Albia. "JUja Apt speak in, that way," urged Win.:*Tell me wheiydtt"tnink^r command yon." > • ' "Mir, dear, mistress,", replied the trcnd^aldeny reluctantly, 'their meaning is # l # * t Aftoulb; • Th^s*v-hors«3 will followthehr maStl*!*^ *- '/Ha^Tj^Bd aj» we t. prisoners?" yL'^&\;pfc:to4&]wpf:tor the b«t,. s.We m»y not be harmed." At this juncrure the Arabs had mounted 'their horses, three of them taking the animals which belonged to their prisoners, and at a word from the leader they tfcere^on the move. Ulin instinctively clung to the rein to hold herself steady, but her horse noticed not the guiding of her hand. The leader of the Farty rode ia advance; then followed two more of the gang; then came two females; and behind them followed the others, with the slaves under charge. Through the wood they rode at an easy pace, and when they had gained the open plain beyond they struck into a swift gallop. Ulin had discovered to her satisfaction that the strange horse paid no attention to the rein, so she only sought to keep an easy seat. She was weak with fear and alarm, and all sorts of dreadful pictures arose to her Imagination as she sped on. She could not speak with Albia, for the clattering of hoafs drowned her voice. What did it mean? Where would it end? " On they sped, straight over the plain —on, on, on—without halting or turning— on through the darkness of the night—on, league after league—until the gray streaks of morning appeared In the eastern horizon. Another wood was before them, and when it was reached, the party stopped. Not far distant, where a clump of noble palms reared aloft their plaited foliage, a crystal spring burst forth from the green earth, and the Arabs held their panting horses back from the tempting beverage. "Now, lady, you may find repose," said the leader, as he .came and lifted Ulin from her seat. "We shall remain here a few hours. ~X-wiU h?. with you again presently." He turned and handed Albia to the ground, and then went to where his followers were taking care of Shubal. "Albia, what will they do with us?" cried the princess, clasping her hands in terror. But the bondmaiden could not answer. If she held suspicions, she dared not speak them. "O. I wish I had not taken this false step! It Is a punishment for my sin!" "Hush, dear mistress. It is our fate. It is no punishment. Wait until we know what this Arab means to do with us." "What can he mean?" It must be something dreadful. Why has he taken us away so far? 0, Albia, I am frightened." "No, no, sweet lady. They will not kill us." "Ah," murmured the princess, with folded hands, "there may be a fate from which death would be a happy escape!" The bondmaiden shuddered, and from her thoughts at thai moment she 'could frame no reply which she dared to speak .aloud. CHAPTER~XV. The Arab's Purpose. As Ulin sat upon the greansward with her back against a palm tree, and one hand resting upon Albia's arm, she could take a clear view of hsr captors. The sun was Just tinging the distant mountain tops with its golden light, and the last shadow of the night had gone. The Arabs had watered the horses and left them where they could crop the green grass, and were now gathered together, listening to the words of their chief. They were rough, dark looking men, these Arabs. Their clothing was sparse and poor, and their skin swart and dirty: but their weapons were bright and keen and their horses in most perfect condition, both as to health and cleanliness. A little while they conversed together, and then one of them brought forth the bundle which had been taken from Shubal. It was opened by the leader, and the articles of clothing which it contained were spread out upon the ground. Folded up in a silken scarf was found a purse, from which fell a score or more of broad gold piece3; whereupon the marauders gave utterance to various exclamations of satisfaction. "They are robbers," said Ulin, as she saw them dividing the gold. "Certainly." responded Atbia. "I have suspected that from the first" "Can they belong to Julian's band?" "Why should you ask such a question, my mistress? Yon know that Julian would - never have such men . about him." J As she spoke, the Arab leader cams ^^^ Have a hops. t 0 * a r d f t j f t * ^ ^ A , £ ^ them fey » tew moments, he paid, ad* ^JT*. d r e s j t M ^ ittinc***: :'% -V. .< **•*• "I hope yon tod yourself none the worse for this little deviation frost your* original course; for, let me assure you, the meeting has AJtorded me much pleasure Doss the princess Ulin know who is speaking to her?" "No, sir." replied UHn. "Then she shall know into whose protecting hand she has had the fortune of falling. I am Al Abbas, Does the name sound familiar?'" "No, sir," '.'It is familiar enough to me," said Albia. • "Ah, pretty one—and what know you of it?" "I have heard the name, sir, when speech has been made touching a cer- ]4A4B Arab robber,' whose deeds had caused* him to be feared by honest travelers." The rascal seemed pleased with this remark, and smilingly returned: "You have hit the truth, my fair damsel. I am the robber, Al Abbas; and I am a terror to those who fear to lose their money. But, my dear lady," he continued, turning to the princess, "you cannot have any such fears. We have found some little money belonging to you, and I take the liberty of asking you if you have any Jewels about you." He approached nearer as he spoke, and held out his hand. Ulin knew not how to refuse, and she furthermore saw that refusal would be useless; so she drew forth from, her bosom a casket of chamois skin, bound with bands of gold, and handed it over. The robber took it, and opened it; and as his eyes rested upon the sparkling Jewelspearl, diamond, emerald, topaz and opal—he gave utterance to an exclamation of delight "By my life, lady, you came -well provided. I will take care of these gemB for you. They will be much safer in my custody." "I understand you," said the princess, as she saw the fellow close the casket and place it in his own bosom. "You mean to keep those jewels, as you do the gold which you have found." "You are shrewd at guessing, lady." "I think I have good grounds for my opinion, sir. Take them if you want them; and in return I only ask that you let us go free. You are welcome to all that you have if you will give us our liberty." j " Y n n w?ll rrnt Ytntnrn y n n g o " "I do not wish to rest long." "Nor would I have you. But for the present you had better lie down upon this soft grass, and find some slight repose. I will- call you when we move." And as be thus spoke, he turned away and joined bis companions. "Will they let us go?" murmured Ulin, letting her head fall upon hei companion's shoulder. "I hope so, my mistress. But come —we cannot learn their intent until they plesse to tell us; and In the meantime you bad better seek some rest You are tired and worn. Lay youi head upon my lap—so. And we wilJ hope for the best." Albia drew the head of her mistresgently down, and in a little while the weary princess was asleep. And the bondmaiden did not long remain upon the watch. Her own lids were heavy and very soon her senses were locked In slumber. Al Abbas moved noiselessly to the spot where the worn maidens slept, and presently others of his band joined him. "By the blood of Cu3h," muttered the robber chief, "they are beautiful enough! The lady Ulin is the fairest maiden I ever saw." "They are both of them far too beautiful to be roaming at large," said another of the gang. "They are worth more than jewels,* added a third. "You are right," responded the leader. "This princess would sell for a diadem, beyond the Syrian desert But let them sleep, and when they arc rested we will call them. If wc would turn the prize Into gold, wc must not suffer it to fade from neglect." After this the robbers sat down tc their morning's meal; and when they had done eating some of them went tc sleep upon the grass. At the expiration of two hours Ulin awoke with a sharp cry, and caugh! her companion convulsively by the arm, and cried: "O!—and it was only a dream. How frightful it was." "Only a dream, dear mistress. Wc are safe and well." "Thank heaven!" Al Abbas, as soon as he saw thai the girls were awake, gave a shrili whistle, such as he had sounded on a previous occasion, and in an instant his men were upon their feet The horses, also, noticed the signal, foi they lifted their heads and moved ur together, as though ready to serve their masters.

They were scooped top by the hundreds and carted away for fertilizing parposes and to avoid the stench. *Wi. sV Pickerel weighing Tiveand six pounds and bass weighing 5 and 6 pounds,alflo fine perch and blue gills were among them. Over 800 fine pickeral and bass which were not dead were taken to Sweezey'e lake near by, where they revived. The mill pond is a large one but it was not supposed it containedso many rand such fine fish. The cause of the epidemic is attributed to the poisoning of the water by dead and rotting weeds. The water was drawn down to enable a new bridge to be builtand when it was again rais ed, this was the result.—Stockbridge Brief. Question Answered.

Twenty years ago twenty per cent of the employes of the New York Central railroad were discharged yearly for drinking. Now only about one per cent, yearly are so dismissed. This registers a decided advance in public opinon on the temperence question, at least where it comes to th* em? ploy meat of men in responsible engeering or commercial positions. The distinguising feature of the eighth international temperance congress, recently held in Vienna was the general aggreement that the use of alcohol could be dispensed with in medicine and wise ly omicted from ordinary life. The congress was composed of representatives of all the leading countries of Europe, including officials from France and Busia. Celebrated phsicians and directors of inebriate institutions and insane asylums made addresses agreeing that the results of their experiments and experience showed that alcohol was neither a food, a source of strength, nor even the best of stimulants, from a medical standpoint. They declared that instead of alcohol diminishing the dangers from infectious diseases, it reduced considerably the power of resistance to them. A distinguished Vienna doctor, Professer Max Kassowitz, who is regarded as the leading authority on children's diseases, warned parents against the extremly injurious effects of even the smallests quantity of alcohol .upon children, saying it led frequently to the severest functional derangement and sowed the * * * • mm **V •"> •wams mamm mmm* ortland Prats has erally to eoal consumers.

Iter tbe celrrj ar Iwrow wa* opened with tfc* ope horse plow, and tbe plants, which, bad been grown in a feed bed. were set in the bottom of the furraw. A few days after tbe plants were set a heavy rain washed the dirt into tbe furrow and nearly burled them. The earth bad to be loosened around eaeb plant by means of a knife. Not many days later another Jjeavy, rain necessitated a repetition of the operation. As tbe celery grew tbe furrow was gradually filled up by means of the cultivator and boe. When the plants were about a foot high, they were "bandied" and earthed up fpr blanching. Tbe stalks of each plant were drawn close together and held with one hand while earth was packed about the base of tbe plant with tbe other hand. Then earth was flrntgn lip in rh« plant w i t h p. fope nntfl "i^fjj^^wpr^ 3¾ only tbe tops of tbe leaves were left exposed. Two weeks later it was nee* essary te again bank up the plants, since tbey bad grown considerably in that time. It was then past the middle of October, and no further banking was necessaryto blanch the stalks. The spinach and lettuce planted July 23 failed to grow. The turnips did well until about the 1st of September, when the hot weather caused tbe leaves to turn yellow at the tips and finally die. The crop was almost an entire failure. A few peas planted Aug. 18 on the land previously occupied by early cabbage made a very dwarf but healthy growth and. produced a small crep early in October. Of the late planted vegetables tbe celery, winter radishes, beans and cucumbers produced satisfactory crops, so that, although some of the crops failed, the late planting as a whole was not unprofitable.

A Mysterious Death Excites the People of Saginaw, K COUNTY AGENT'S TROUBLE. riM Qovrnot Isaus* More- Pardons — An *Knsiae*r*a r a t a l Mistake-Krsata s a d Gossip From All Parte of the State Staved Oowa'for Beady Readlatf. The day of the week to be selected for the coronation of Edward VII, in the coming year, is a subject of speculation. No sovereign of that realm has been crowned on Sunday since the time of Queen Elizabeth, and only one coronation in English history took place on Friday^ It is safe, therefore, to exclude those two days from any prediction concerning the stately ceremonial. "The Paris Messenger" says that an attempt to resuscitate the old Roman amphitheater near the Jardln des Plantes, Paris, is about to be made. This ancient arena, which is now used partly as a playground for poor children and partly for omnibus stables, has a remarkable history. It is one of the largest known Roman arenas, and dates back to the first century. There is evidence that the Emperor Julian held sports there. Woo-Tong, a Chinese merchant of New York, left New York the other day for the Pan-American^ Exposition. Soon after the train started he saw Grace Bradshaw, of New York, a pretty American girl, paid her some slight attention,- rapidly became acquainted and finally asked her to be his wife, and after two hours of argument won her consent. They alighted at Wilkesbarre, Pa., to be married, but being unable to obtain a license went to New York state and were wedded. The sword, which has had so long and so distinguished a military record, has been placed nn thp rpHrpd Mat. British army authorities have decided that in the future unmounted officers ehall carry carbines instead of swords during manoeuvers and in active service. The decision is the result of experience gained in the war in South Africa. The sword is not only useless as a weapon, except in close quarters, but it serves as a mark to distinguish the officer from his men. He thus becomes a target for the enemy's sharpshooters, and when • the private soldiers have small power of Initiative, as is the case in most European armies, the^ loss of a large number of officers may mean^disaBter. The passing of the sword is one of the signs of the changed conditions of war. An automobile savings- bank is the latestyFrench novelty. The authorities of Mezieres, wishing to encourage thrift among the peasants, have had it built to specifications. It is an electric motor-car containing four seats, "one"T6r""the~ driver"and "three""in" the rear arranged arouna a small table. Folding shelves make a convenient desk for a person standing beside the vehicle. Under the table is a small safe. The passengers are two clerks from the local treasury department and a cashier. The car travels about the country, making short stops in the villages on prearranged days, and receiving such sums as the citizens or farmers of the neighborhood may wish to deposit. So far, however, the innovation uas met little encouragement The peasants seem distrustful of the agility of the bank, and disinclined to draw out the old Btocking from its hiding- place under the hearthstone. Cash B—l» B « « * M a « t l o » . Attorney-General Oren has given an opinion ou the powers and duties of the state board of equalization in the matter of equalizing the valuations of the various counties of the stare, l i e holds that anything short of an equalization on the basis of cash valuations would be unconstitutional, the board having no authority to depart from what they believe to be actual cash values. This means that no percentage less than cash value can legally be made the basis of the equalization, but, of course, leaves the board to determine what sucli cash value Is. The opinion disposes of ex-Couiniisslrnior Campbell's proposition that the board determine what the cash value is, and then equalize on a basis of 75 per cent of such valuation in order to keep the local assessors in line and not unduly Increase tho annual revenue of thu Michigan university.

John Kunert left Plymouth Ang. 20 for Saginaw, intend mm ing to stop at Coleman. Relatives at Coleman report that he left there for Saginaw to secure employment on the Perc Marquette as a fireman. His name is not ou the books of the company either as an employe* or applicant, and no one has been found who remembers seeing him in Saginaw. D e a d l y D y n a m i t e . John Elchman, engineer at the Ajax dynamite works of Henry H. Thomas on the Kawkawlin road, near Bay City met with a shocking death in a peculiar manner Friday morning. Between the nltro-glycerlne factory and the dynamite packing house there was nn old iron pipe through which the nitro-fflycerine was conveyed from the former to the latter prior to the explosion last season. This pipe has not been in use since. Elchman went to remove it and in making the uncoupling of a joint used hammer and chisel. While he was at work the pipe exploded, crashing the top of his head, tearing off all his clothing and blowing hJs body 15 feet. There must hav« been some nitre-glycerine in the pipe. The explosion tore the side off the nltro-glycerlne factory, but otherwise did not disturb it. In the factory was 1,200 pounds of the explosive. of the fact that he was to have been married this month to Mamie Burr.s, a pretty and attractive young lady whose home is at Mt. Morris, Mich. He had gone v to the roller-coastsr a little after 8 o'clock and was seen to rise In his seat when the car reached the top round. He was whirled out and fell to the inclined plane below, striking in such a position that he lay across the tracks. An ascending car struck him there, and he doubled up, falling between the tracks to the ground fifteen feet below. The injured man was taken to a hospital, where he died early next morning.

The women were furious^ at a scurrilous newspaper article which they attribute to Grover, and they used their rawhides with telling effect. People who noticed the set determination in the faces of the ladies as they Trassed" through the streets on their way to the Sun office, followed them, and the crowd cheered them as they rained blow after blow upon Grover's coatless form. The ladies were accompanied also by their brothers, who looked on until the former had exhausted their strength. The police then put in an appearance but no arrests were made.

There is a reverse side to the semblance of luxury expressed by the mirrors, the gilding, the velvet carpets of many apartment and boarding houses. The head of the lace department in a great store recently spent her two weeks' vacation 'in a hospital. She laughed at the idea of being ill or even nervous; but she was tired, and for ten yea,rs had not slept in a real bed. fn one apartment house, in order to keep her room fitted to receive callers, she slept on a sofa that opened in the middle, and had neither sides nor foothoard. Six out of seven nights the covers pulled off her feet. At another place her folding bed fell on her and nearly killed her, so she traded it for * narrow divan, from which pillows and blankets slipped off nightly. At the hospital she finally found a bed wide enough to sleep in crosswise, a bed by day as well as by night, a bod tuckable, with a bolster and counterpane; and she stayed in it for two ^eekt.—Iacountlesa cases the makt» believe bed ibol of a sham and comfortless existence for which apartment life is largely responsible.

The Sheeting Was Done on the Pan American Exposition Grounds—-The World Stands Aghast at the Horrible and Cowardly Crime. T h e Buffalo V i s i t . "President McKinley left Washington for the Pan-American exposition on Wednesday, arriving at Buffalo the same evening, where he was received j with n grand ovation. He was taken to the residence of President John G. Milhurn, who entertained Mr. and Mrs. MeKinley as his personal guests. The\ president visited the exposition Thursday And there delivered the address upon the future of the nation that has i already excited world-wide interest as; the declaration of a new policy for his j country. Friday morning he visited! Niagara Falls, and had returned to the | 4~ exposition grounds at 3:30 o'clock.! where he was receiving visitors, when' the assassin took advantage of the occasion to tire the shots that put the president's life in jeopardy. ' T h e A s s a s s i n a t i o n . He went to the grounds to attend a pwblle reception In his honor in the Temple of Music. A long line of people had passed, each receiving a smile and a hearty hand clasp. When Assassin C«olgos» approached, he grasped the president's hand nnd as quick as thought fired twice from n revolver -which was In his free hand, concealed from view by a large white handkerchief. The stricken man was given *• fcnajMhite assistance and the assassin w*» trtnioned and disarmed after quite n struggle, being removed to a city police gtntion under a heavy guard. T h e C o w a r d l y A s s a s s i n . The birthplace of Cxolgosa was at first given as Detroit, then ns Clevcs f land, Ohio, and finally Alpena, Mich.,* k from which place the family removed to Cleveland nine years ago.

Everybody .knew he had no courage. He was afraid of his shadow. A boy could scare him by threatening him. Truly. Leon would not. dare to do tilings other boys did, so timid was ho. Ho was backward when other people were around, and I don't see how he found courage to go in- the great crowd." E m m a G o l d m n n IIin I n s p i r a t i o n . The assassin lias signed a confession covering six pages of foolscap, which states that lie is an anarchist, and that ho became an enthusiastic memln> r of I hat body through the influence of Emma Coidman. whose writings he had read and whoso lectures he had listened to. He denies having any confederate and says he decided on the act three days before and bought the revolver with which the act was committed in Buffalo. He professes no regrets, says he is an anarchist and did his duty. He sleeps and eats well and under the process of '*s wen ting" to secure information as to his accomplices, if he had any, he remains cool and collected. -* T h e P r e s i d e n t ' s W o v s f d a . The attending physicians/give this description of thfc president's wounds: "One bullet struck on the upper portion of the breast bone, glancing and not penetrating; fae second bullet penetrated the abdomen five Inches below the left nipple and OIM? and a half inches to the left of the median line. The abdomen was opened through the line of the bullet wound. It was found that the bullet had penetrated the stomach. The opening In the front of the stomach was carefully closed with silk stitches, after which a search was made for a hole in the back wall of the stomach. This was found and closed In the same way. The further course of the bullet conM not be discovered, although careful search was made. The abdominal wound, was closed without drainage. No Injury to the intestines or other abdominal organs was discovered. The patlent stood the operation well." R e m o v e d F r o m t h e G r o a n d n . An automobile ambulance conveyed, under strong guard, the wounded president to the home of Mr. Milburn on Delaware avenue, where he and Mrs. McKinley were being entertained, and where she was resting during her husband's reception on the grounds. Here watched over by the best physicians and trained nurses the couutry can produce, the chief executive of the United Stales is battling for his life, which is at this time of more importance to the country and the world than human foresight can determine. Mm. M c K i n l e y A n x i o u s . Director-General W. I. Buchanan prevented the news of the crime reaching Mrs. McKinley until the physicians had operated on her husband and dressed the wounds. The Niagara Falhs trip had tired Mrs. McKinley. and 011 returning to the Milburn residence she took leave of her nieces, the Misses Barber, and the president's niece, Miss Duncan, as well as their hostess. Mrs. Milburn, and went to her room to rest. Mr. Buchanan broke'the j news as gehtlyas"p6SSibto to the nieces j and consulted with them and Mrs. Milj burn as to the best course to pursue in i hreakiiigTtho news to Mrs. McKinley. j Ir was finally decided that on her 1 awakening, or shortly thereafter. Mr. ] Buchanan should break the news to ! li#r. it", in the meantime her physician., I Dr. Hixey. approved. Mrs. McKinley I awoke from her sleep at Kbout- r»:30 I o'clock. She was reeling splendidly, j she said, and at once took up her j crocheting, which is one of her favorj ite diversions. Whije the light of day j remained she continued with her j crocheting, keeping to her room. When it became dusk, and the president had not arrived, she began to feel anxious concerning him. "I ponder why he does not come," she asfced one of her nieces. H o w She R e c e i v e d t h e Nevr». Dr. Rixey visited Mrs. McKinley just before 7 o'clock and shortly after told her the news in the most gentle manner. She stood it bravely, though considerably affected. With the exception of (he physicians ami attendants, Mrs. McKinley was the only persou who crossed the threshold. The president asked to see her, and his physicians did not have the heart to refuse his request. She was there but a few minutes, seated at his bedside, as he in his devotion to her in her illness has so often been at hers. Mrs, McKinley had been warned not to talk, and the president and his wife exchanged only a few words. It was only when lie asked her to be brave for both their sakes that she faltered- and almost broke dowu. With choking throat and brimmius eyes she promised with a bow of her head. Almost Immediately thereafter she was led from the room by Pi*. Rlxey.

Risteen says in Rod and Gun: "The beaver is really a sort of portable pnlp mill, grinding up most any kind of wood that comes his way. I once measured a white birch tree, 22 inches through, cut down by a beaver. A single beaver generally, if not always, amputates the tree, and when it comes down the whole family fall to and have a regular frolic with the bark and branches. A big beaver will bring down a fair sized snpling, say three Inches through; in about two minutes and a large tree in about an hour. "One of the queerest facts about tbe beaver is tbe rapidity with which his long, chisel shaped teeth Tin recover from an Injury. I have known beavers to break their teeth in biting a trap, and when I caught them again ten days afterward yon couldn't see a sign of the break. Tbe teeth bad grown out One Year For Only fVolfce.

KEARNEY Has Traveled Over 10,000 Miles this Season for Pleasure. The "Fitch" Aquatic Cream Separator. If you're running a dairy,—be there one .cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting ajl the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty iper cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperture nud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because ot' the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. Yon get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. Tbe butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. Yon can wash it in twoUainutes and have ready for the next {milking. i Taking it all in all, il saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

They brought back many enrious mementoes including 125 photographs taken by Mr. Kearney. This summer was a fine time to visit the coast, a first-class ticket covering tbis route and allowing stopovers at any point, costing but $62 50. All in all it was a delightful journey, the weather being from 56 to 72 degree* at noon along the coast. A picture of about 100 pounds of ocean rish attests Mr, K$ skill w th tbe rod.

T h o p e you hate rested well," said th* chief; approaching the princess. ml have slept, sir," she replied, trembling as she looked Into his dark T h e n you are ready to resume •addle. We will ride before the heat of the noonday sun 13 upon us." **Tou will not claim us for compaa- Iona further, I trust." **Only while our roads lay together, lady. Surely you cannot object to ethat" "But I wish to go to the bank of the Pharaphar." ^Just as I expected; so I shall not 'be disappointed. Your horses are ready. I will have them brought this The guard had already been placed upon a horse, and Ulin saw them binding him to a saddle. What did this mean? Hardly knowing what sin did, Ulin suffered herself to be lifted into the •addle; and In a few moments more Albia was by her side. **Why have you bound Shubal to his seat?" she asked. •That he may ride safely. He is a bungling fellow, and might tumble off If he were not secured. But don't let that worry you." CHAPTER XVI. The Strange Horseman. At this moment the guard came near to the place where his mistress «at, bis horse having moved of his own accord, and as she turned towards him lie spoke to her: "My dear good lady, they lie to you When they tell you tbat they mean you no harm. I have heard them talk and . I know their plans. We are all to be _ sold into slavery in the kingdom bejFOnd the Syrian desert!" "Mercy!" cried Ulin, turning pale a3 'death and clasping her hands in agony. "O, my dream! my dream!" "Easy, fair lady," said Al Abbas. "This black rascal knows not wliat he says. I allowed him to speak so ~~Ihat T~mIgEt see now~Eis mind ran." "It is false," exclaimed Shubal. "I heard them lay the plan. You, my mistress, are to be sold for a—" The guard's speech was stopped by two of the robbers, who threw him back upon his horse, and stopped his mouth with their hands. "Sir robber," cried Ulin, stretching her hands out towards him, "deceive me no more. I think my poor slave has told me the truth." "'A pest upon the slave, lady! His tongue shall come out by the root3 if he speaks again without my leave. 3Uck to your saddle, and keep up yonr courage." As the Arab spoke he leaped upon the back of his horse, and ere the prin- - cess could ask another question, the party was upon the move, the order of arrangements being the same as before. J'We are not going towards the Pharphar," said Ulin, "No," replied Albia. "We are gotnythe- other-way." — "Then Shubal told us the truth." "Alas, dear mistress, I dare not say." "But you think so?" \ "I cannot deny It" -"And you thought so before you heard Shubal speak?" "I feared something of the kind." Al Abbas overheard the girls as they thus conversed, and he was presently by their side. "'Lady Ulin," he siid, and he spoke sternly and sharply; "you^are now on the move, and when you stop again it will be far away from Damascus. I owe something to the officers of that city, and I will repay a part of the debt by taking you away from them. You are to go just as far as I please to take you; and the more quieLly you go the better it will be for you;, so you had better begin to accommodate yourself to the circumstances." He rode back to his place and Ulin grasped the bow of her saddle for sup- • port. "Courage," said Albia, riding as near a s she could. "There may ba some way to escape. The good spirits will not desert us." T h e pri&ceca heard the words, and they had a marked effect upon her. «be had naturally a strong resolution, laad when she was once resolved to \bear up, her strength was not long 1» coming to her assistance. On the present occasion she knew that she had heard the worst, In fact, she had -reason to believe that her captor radiant for her the most dreadful fate rto which one in her station, eould be tskrbject For a while she was completely stunned by the fearful blow; toft at she came to reason with herself, she saw that her only hope wa? y, AM escape. . Th« Arabs ware tow, brutal and sordid, and would sell her for gold. She could read in their evil faces that they were not to be touched by sympathy. What then could she do? She must get away from them. And if this was to be done she must summon all her energies to the work. But, alas! the case looked hopeless enough; what could two weak girls do against such odds? Only some interposition beyond their own efforts could save them. So, after all. if help was to come, it must come from some unknown source. And could such help be found? If fervent prayers could be answered, and if the most holy need could be met, it might be hoped for. At the end of eome two or three hours the party came to a thick grove of palms; near which was a spring, and here they stopped just long enough to water the horses. They had started on again, and were at some little distance from the grove, when one of the Arabs who rode in the rear, came forward and Informed his leader that a horseman was following them. Al Abbas looked back and saw that the stranger wac a black, and that he rode f. swift and powerful horse. J "He wishes to overtake us," said the fellow /who had come from the rear. "Then he must ride for it," returned the chief. "I cannot stop. I wonder where he came from." "When I first saw him, he seemed to have just emerged from the grove." In a short time the strange horseman had come so near that the light of his eyes could be seen, and Al Abbas saw that he must soon overtake them; so he concluded to drop behind and find out what was wanted, evidently desiring that the men should not see what manner of prizes he had in charge, at least until his character was known. The robbers were directed to slacken their speed a little, but to keep on their course, and having given this order, the chief turned his horse's head and rode back; and ere long he was within speaking distance of the stranger, who proved to be a stout, well-made man, with a face as black as night. "Hallo!" cried Al Abbas, reining in his horse. "Who are you?" "I am king of this plain," replied the African, at the same time reining in his own horse; "and I have come out to see who thus trespasses upon my domain. Who are you " The Arab hesitated in his answer, as he supposed the black must be crazy. "Who are you, and what sort of company do you lead?" cried the African. "I lead my own company; and if you want anything, come and get it," answered the Arab. "I want nothing but to know who you are; and the next time you come this way, be sure and stop again at the grove of the date-palms. I will have a banquet prepared for you." Thus speaking, the .stranger wheeled his horjse in" a broad circlerancTparted back towards the place whence he had come. Al Abbas rode back to his party, and when they asked him what manner of man he had met, he replied that it was only a poor crazy fool, who imagined that he owned the broad plain upon which they were traveling. "He is worth capturing," suggested one of the robbers. "We could not capture him if we would," said the chief. "He rides a better horse than we own." While the Arabs were gazing back after the retiring horseman Albia drew close to the side of her mistress and spoke, quickly and excitedly: "Did you recognize him?" -"Whom?" "The crazy man who followed us." "No." "It was Osmir!" "Osmir!" "Hush! Not a word. As sure as I live it was Osmir; and be assured we have help at hand." / "But he has gone." "Aye, for he only came out to see who we were. Be sure he has recognized us." Ulin felt her heart bound up with springing hope; and her next prayer was uttered with returning faith in heaven's protecting power. CHAPTER XVIT. By the Banks of the Pharphar. Half an hour after Al Abbas had resumed his place at the head of his troop, the same robber who had be* fore come from the rear, again rode to the front, this time bringing intelligence that a number of horsemen) were pursuing them.., The chief drew ,h> hosse aside and looked back, ana a*w fo»£ ft** coniuj*., The* - w t n | waU mrw'WB'wdiwww'-wf.1 Mm'ft'idHHu1 •!,<»» H** ar * • » What mounted, andaeemed to be in *>t*qn> aulC ' '„•?•> "•' V * v* * • • ' W "There if something mere than fte**f ***••**••• * cident in this," said Al Abbas. "The fellow is with them who followed n# before." "Two of those men are white," nv. marked the robber who had ridden up from the rear. "What can they want of us?" "Never mind/' returned the chief. "If they want us, let them catch us. And if, beyond that, they want mora, let them make, their wants known." Thus speaking, the Arab leader resumed his place, and urged his horses forward with increasing speed. Brer and anon he cast his eyes behind him, and it was ere long evident that the strangers were rapidly gaining upon him. - "We may as well stop now as at any time," said Al Abbas, addressing the man who rode by his side. "I will halt and ascertain what these fellows want. It is about time our horses had a breathing spell." At a simple order from their chief, the Arabs wheeled their horses in a circle, bringing up In line, facing their pursuers, with their prisoners in the rear. "Who are you that thus pursues and stops me?" demanded Al Abbas. "I am Julian, the Scourge of Damascus!" replied the foremost of the opposite party. At the sound of that name the Arab trembled, for he knew that no king's officer had been more persistent in driving petty robbers from the plains of Damascus than had Julian. But presently he recovered himself, seeming to think that, were the man's assertion true, the opposing force was not strong enough to be feared. "If you be Julian," he cried, "you have come forth with a small retinue. But what seek you?" "I have come to take from you those prisoners that you hold. Deliver them up to me, and I will trouble you no more." "And suppose that I should refuse to do any such thing?" "Then I should be forced to take them from you. As I address you, I recognize who you are. If I am not greatly mistaken, you are Al. Abbas, the Arab—a villain who lives by robbing women and old men." "Now, by the blood of Cush!" exclaimed Al Abbas, drawing his sword and urging his horse forward, "I'll make you feel another thing the Arab robber can^-do4—Whaty ho, my ^ne&j- Down with these rascals!" In a moment the Arabs were ready for action, and hurried forward to strike-with their leader. As Soon as Shubal found his guard gone, he called to Albia to come and set him free. "Cut these cords," he cried, "and I may be of some help in this affair. Merciful heaven, is not this the work of a good spirit!" The bondmaiden was not long in setting him free from his saddle, and as soon as he was clear he sprang forward to where the ring of clashing steel had already broke upon the air. With something like a smile of disdain upon his handsome features did Julian behold the approach of the Arabs, while Hobaddan, who sat close by his side, looked grim and stern. Osmir and Selim drew to the front as the token of battle was given, and their cool, determined bearing, plainly showed that they were foemen not to be despised. Al Abbas rode directly for the youthful chieftain, with his sword ready for the stroke; but he had mistaken his man, if he thought to touch any vulnerable point. Julian knocked his weapon up, and quickly drove him from his horse; and then, seeking to make quick work of it, and feeling no great sympathy for womanstealers, he simply rode the Arab leader down, cleaving open his head as he fell. Shubal was close at hand when Al Abbas dropped, and quickly as possible he possessed himself of the fallen man's sword, and was just in season to join In the conflict as three of the Arabs had attacked Julian. The young chieftain struck down one of them by a winding blow across the bare neck, but he might have had severe work with the other two had not help arrived; for the rascals were strong, and the death of their leader had given them new infpulse to conquer. It was not the impulse of revenge. No, no. The death of At Abbas left more gold for those who survived. But tlie unexpected arrival of the freed slave upon the scene gave a new turn to the tide. One of the Arabs he struck down from behind, and the other one alone proved no match for the stalwart chieftain. In the meantime Hobaddan, with Osmir and Selim, had disposed of the others. Two they had slain, and two had taken to flight. (To be continued.)

To My Many Friends—I am pleased to make a report to you of the pleasant visit my wife and I had in Western Canada. We visited tho territorties of Alberta, Assinlboia, and Saskatchewan, and found them far surpassing our Imagination, but little did 1 expect to And such rich, loamy soil, so much of it, and so uniform in its level prairie lay. I ao think the soil of Canada as a rulo equals if not excels the finest prairie farm lands of Indiana. These lands are Immense in their richness, nnd when once the sod ts rotted and pulverized, it is as pliable and na easily cultivated as Indiana sandy soil. "I have played a desperate game and I have lost," remarked4he stage villain just before his final disappearance. "But you are a darn sight better off than we are," murmured a tired looking man In the front row; "wis jjajd money to get In." ^ Western Canada, from" my poiBf~cT view, offers as tine opportunities for mixed farming as any place in my knowledge. The long, sunshiny days, together with the rich soil, produce very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and other cereal products. There is scarcely any attempt to raise corn, except early varieties for table use. The season is too short to depend upon maturing field corn. From the standpoint of getting this land ready for the plow, I must say that I never saw such a vast extent, practically all ready so all that one has to do la to hitch up the plow and go to work. This is not the case with all the Canadian land, however; some of it has quite a bit or timber, much of it may be called brush land, and some of It has lovely forest groves, dotted here JAPAN'S TRIBUTE TO PERRY. Memorial to the M»n Who Opened Up the Japan ClvUUatlon. " T h e amity existing oetween Japan and the United States was recently emphasized at Kurlhama, whero a monument, erected to Commodore Perry, the American naval officer who first opened Japan to the civilization of the western world, was unveiled. The memorial marks the place where Commodore Perry landed, in 1853, preparatory to signing the treaty which has resulted in the phenomenal progress made by Japan since that time. /The monument is a simple though enduring one. The shaft is a solid block of stone weighing 19 tons and the whole monument, the face of which is suitably inscribed, is 33 feet high. At the dedicatory exercises the officialdom of Japan was generously represented. The United States vessels the New York, New Orleans and Yorktown, were represented. One of those taking part in the ceremonies was Rear Admiral Beardslee who served under Commodore Perry at the time of the landing. and there, thereby covering a hundred, and aiaity aerea* I have no doubt but that this country excels as a gracing or ranchinf country, because they have such rich grass, having an abundance of rain t o keep it fresh. They also have plenty of water streams, and,as a rulo watar may hfr reached at a depth of from » to 10 feet. From this you can sao there can be plenty of hay mown for winter feeding, and I have had reliable farmers to tell me that their stock will feed on hay alone, and bo ready for market in the spring. Upoa Inquiring about the expense of raising a steer, a farmer "replied that he did not consider it would cost any more/ than $4 or $6 to develop a three-yearold steer. I truly think Canada offers a fine opening for a young man or a man who Is renting land in Indiana. One hundred and sixty acres of good black land will cost you on.y 910 at the time you enter it, and by plowing and cultivating five acres each year for threo years, gives you one hundred and sixty acres of good land for 110. This land can be bought from the railroad companies, private corporations or the government for | 3 to S4 per acre. From a financial standpoint, I believe that for a series of years (five) a young man can make $10 in Canada, whereas he would only make $1 hero, and I feel sure that I spent more money to get my eighty acre farm in White county, Indiana, cultivated than it would cost me to cultivate eight hundred acres in Canada. This may seem a strong view to take of tho matter, but when you take into consideration the clearing, ditching, fencing and the expensive breaking In of the stumps, and then compare the expense to that of land needing only the breaking, you will conclude that it is not such a wild or exaggerated statement as you might at first think. I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmosphere, which was bracing and refresh- " ing, and the cool nights which made it ao pleasant for sleep. A NARROW ESCAPE. Bath, N. Yu Sept. 10th.—There is now at the Soldiers' and Sailors* Home here an old soidie- who hasteon nearer death than anyone who has livod to tell the story. ^ i s name is A: K. Ayers, For many years he lived in Minneapolis, Minn, where he is well known. Four physicians of that city once told Mr. Ayers that he could not live four days. l i e had Bright*' disease. As a last resort h~ tried Dodd**'Kidney Pills. He is strong and well today. He says: "I was in the very presence of death, but Dodd's Kidney PllUaaved me. They are the greatest medicine in tha world." Tho new Mink is purely a money making ache* e* . On making inquiries regarding the winters in this country, I learned that the people never suffer from the cold, as the weather is dry and invigorating, and in a great many places farmers and herders allow their stock to rem outside the year round. One great advantage to the settlers in Western Canada is the free creameries established by the government and run exclusively in the interest of the farmer. I visited Thomas Daley, a farmer near Edmonton, Alberta, who showed r_e oats he had raised, some of which took the first prize at the Paris Exposition last year. The same yielded 110 bushels to the acre in 1899. Yours truly, FRANK FTSHER, Mexico, Ind. A good many people quote the golden rule as if they were the author. DonX't ache, use Hamlin's \VizarjLQU.

His father was Theodore was the investigation of the city government, and particularly the, police department, in the winter of 1884.

Educate* * t Home. Young Roosevelt was primarily educated at home under private teachers, after which he entered Harvard, graduating in 1880. Those qualities of aggressiveness which have marked his more recent years of public life were present with him In college, and he was a conspicuous figure among his fellows. It was an interesting period in the history of the party and the nation, and young Roosevelt entered upon the political field with eagerness and energy. The purification of political and -official 4ife had been for some time an. MRS. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. ideal with him, and with this came the belief in the efficacy of the application of civil-service rules to executive conduct. So strongly did he impress himself upon,.his political associates that in 188¾ he was nominated for the state assembly and elected. In the State Assembly. He served for'inree years and soon came to be recognised as an able and fearless advocate of the people's rights and he succeeded in securing the passafe of several measures of great benefit The abolition, of fees in the office of the county clerk and the abolition of the Joint power of the board rof aldermen in the mayor's appointments were among those of special benefit to the eity of New York. Another Hanortaat work d a w by aim publican convention. He had been among those who did not regard Mr. Blaine as the most available candidate of the party, but after the latter's nomination Mr. Roosevelt gave him his hearty support, and in the face of the remarkable defection in New York at that time. In the National Civil Service. In May, 1899, President Harrison appointed him civil service commissioner, and he served as president of the board until May, 1896. During his incumbency he was untiring In his efforts to apply the civil service principles of merit and capacity to all executive departments. As a result of this zeal the country was shown the first practical application of the rules to civil government. Civil Service Reformer. He proved that unflinching civilservice reform was not only consistent with party loyalty, but in the highest degree was necessary to party service. None doubted the reformer's Republicanism, but it was not an easy task. Judgment, tact, honesty, energy, and a certain sturdy pugnacity were necessary to the accomplishment of his purpose. Every detail of the system was opened to carping criticism and to hostile attack. The administration itself was only friendly to the movement. Not only had politicians to be kept out of places, but competent servitors had to be provided. In .the Police Commission. As president of the clvll-servlce commission Mr. Roosevelt resigned in May, 1803, to become president of the New York board of police commissioners. Legislative investigation had shown the corruption in that body, and to this field he turned with a new zest. An uncompromising enforcement of law was his policy. It brought criticism and vituperation upon him, but he persisted. Honest methods in the .police department were forced, and civil-service principles were embodied into the system of appointments and promotions. Sunday closing of saloons became a fact, and a seemly observance of the day was insisted upon. Navy's Asslstaat Secretary. In April, 1897, Mr. Rooeevelt was nominated by President McXinley to be assistant secretary of the navy. He pushed repairs on the ships and worked with might and stain, foraetlng a tUctwith 8pain> He toft nothing undone to secure the highest efficiency in the navy.. On May 6, 1888, Mr. Rooeevelt resigned this place to muster in a cavalry regiment for the Spanish war. Life in tha west had made this a fitting ambition. As a hunter of big game, used to the saddle and the camp and an unerring shot with rifle and revolver, the country recognised in film the making of a dashing cavalry leader. He had experienced. military duty in the New York National Guard in the '80s. Col. Wood was put in command of the Rough Riders; Mr, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel On June 15 the regiment sailed to join Gen. Shafter in Cuba* With the Bougn Riders. From the time of landing until the fall of Santiago the Rough Riders were giant figures in ths campaign. Their work reached a climax on July 1, when Lieut.-Col. Roosevelt led the regimen^ in the desperate charge up San Juan hill. He had shared all the hardships of his men, and when he broke the red tape of discipline to complain of Oen. Shatter's camp and its dangers from disease the army was with him and the war department listened to his judgment. On July 11 be was commissioned a colonel of volunteers. Elected Governor of N e w York. Scarcely two months later the new military hero was nominated for governor of New York. In, the convention he received 753 votes, against the 218 cast for Gov. Frank S. Black. Col. Roosevelt entered into the campaign with characteristic energy. Men of all parties supported him and he was elected by a plurality of more than 18,000. His administration was very satisfactory to his state. As reformer, official, military leader and state executive, he has carried his earnest dashing personality into it all. As a Writer. As a writer of outing papers his varied experiences on the trail have served him well. In biography, his life of Thomas H. Benton and of Gouvernour Morris have been praised. Essays and papers dealing with political life have added to this reputation. Of his latest work. "The Rough Riders" has been pointed to as ''one of the most thrilling pieces of military history produced in recent years." —When his name was first proposed for the vice presidency, Mr. Roosevelt declined the honor, preferring to re^ main governor. He finally consented, after much pressure. Mr. Roosevelt's Family. Mr. Roosevelt has been married twice. His first wife was Miss Alice Lee of Boston; the second, Miss Edith Carow of New York-. He is the fathei of six children, ranging from 16 to 3 years of age. His domestic life Is Ideal. Whethei ensconced in winter quarters at Albany or New York, or at the famouu Roosevelt home at Oyster Bay on Long Island, he Is an indulgent father and romps with his children with as much zest SB the youngest of them. The youngsters are known as the Roosevelt half-dozen, and all reflect in some manner the paternal characteristic. All Bright Children. The oldest girl is Alice, tall, dark and serious looking. She rides her father's Cuban campaign horse with fearlessness and grace. The next olive ALICE ROOSEVELT. branch is Theodore, Jr., or "young Teddy," the idol of his father's heart and a genuine chip of the old block. Young "Teddy" owns a shot gun and dreams of some day shooting bigger game than his father ever did. He also rides a pony of his own. Alice, the eldest girl, is nearly 16. She is the only child by the first Mrs. Roosevelt "Young Teddy," the present Mrs. Roosevelt's oldest child, is IS.

As a rule, influential men in eveiy community prefer social quiet to tumult, and would rather let the saloon like a mad wolf go free than to undertake to corral it or destroy it. Moreover, the law is such that extraordinary methods are absolutely necessary in order to detect the saloon in its crimes and bring the responsible parties to justice. These methods are always expensive, and these also involve local citizens unpleasantly with strange detectives who must be employed to discover the crimes and the evidence which will convict the criminals. It is a shame that an institution permcious as the saloon has been allowed to entrench itself iu the general mechanism of our laws, customs, financial interests and social forces. The saloon at best is intolerable to many citizens, and the day will never come when all commuities will be acquiescent in the presence of its nefarious work. Now here, now there, as at Owosso last week, a gallant mayor, a brave preacher and loyal citizen will grapple with the of. fender, and the result will be agitation, excitement, arrests, mobs, trials, acquitals or convictions, heart burnings, life-long animosities, and peahaps maimings and assassinations. Just as long as the state sanctions the traffic, and for a price' practically protects it, so long will temperance people find themselves at a tremendous disadvantage in trying to protect themselves, their children ancl homes from the ruthless ravages of the defient rum fiend. far as birds are concerned, the old law holds and partridge, quail, spruce hen, woodcock are protected until October 20, the open season being, in the lower peuinsula, from October 20 to November 30 both inclusive.

The final estimate for wheat will be made in October. The average estimated yield per acre in the southern counties is 10 bushels, in the central counties 14 bushels, in the northern coun.tiea 13 bushels, and in the state 11 bushels. So much wheat was plowed up and so many other fields cut for bay that it is difficult to fix the amount actually harvested. The season this year has not been foyorable for oats. The cold backward spring seems to have retarded their growth for the season. The average yield is about three-quarters of what it was last year and the quality is uot as good. In most parts of the State com has made a good growth during the month. In a few counties, on light soU, it has not eared well. This is only true in thoBe portions ol the state where there has been practically, no rainfall. If frosts do not prevail prior to the middle of September the corn crop will be safe and fairly up to the average. The bean crop is very uneven this year. In a few localities~no growth was made so that the crop is practically a failure. In other sections there has been an excessive growth of vines.

As a result the yield will be variable some very good and some very poor. Potatoes, like corn and beans, vary much throughout the state. Where it naer not been too dry they have done fairly well. One exception to this is where the bugs have done much damage. Had farmers, in some cases, prevented these ravages potatoes would be good where corn is good. The crop of clover seed ha» baen injured some by insects. Iu other cases it has made a rank growth but did not fill well. Some farmers are cutting this second crop for hay. A Card.

Lansing, Sept. 13.—The state tax commissioners have made up the?r figures for all the counties of the state. There still remain 10 counties for which the figures are uncompleted. These are Dickinson, Oogeblc, Houghton, Ingham, Iron, KeAveenaw, Marquette, Ontonngon, Roscommon and Wayne. So far n? completed the tax commission's figures show a total actual value of $1.107.591,920, and it is estimated that the completed figures will show the total actual value of the state -to ho a trifle less than $1,700,000,000. The equalized value of the state as fixed in 189t? Is $1.105.100.000/ The estimates for the uncompleted counties which are not those of the commission, arc ns follows: Dickinson, $12,000,000: rtogpbie, $12,000,000: Houghton, $175,- 000.000: Ingham. $33.000.00(): Iron. $0.- As soon as the weather will permit and proper locations can be selected, there will be pitched near Boston the first of a number of camps for consumptives. This camp (and each succeeding camp will be like it) will consist of ten piano-box tents, arranged in a circle, with an open-air fire in the center, and surrounded by a duck wall eight feet high. Each of these tents will be a consumptive's home; a consumptive will sleep there, even through the coldest weather, with no other protection than plenty of felt blankets, felt sleeping boots, and a two-inch gallon jug of hot water. 000.000: Keweenaw, $4,ooo,000; Marqifette. $30,000,000; Ontonagon, $5,000,- ono: Roscommon. $50().000; Wavne, $.100,000,000. This added to the total as fnr as completed by the tax commission would make a total valuation of $1,085,501,929. As a result of a tangle in the steering gear of his automobile, Arthur Masker of Philadelphia met with a peculiar accident. He started to take a spin down to Baltimore recently, but turned aside from the high road when a few miles out from the city. He was coursing at a speed of eleven miles w^on suddenly, without apparent { cause, the machine spurted and veered j to one side. It was going at the rate \ of seventy-five miles an hour when it I jumped a fence and struck a tree. Fortunately, instead of being an upright tree, it was leaning, and instead of being crushed by the impact the machine slid up the tree and lodged in the branches, forty-five feet from the ground. . Mr. Fasker was unhurt. He climbed out of the seat and slid down the tree and walked to a farm house, where he hired a farmer to bring him to town. Accident or Murder? Tue body of William D. Hollister, the American express agent at Oxford, was found on the Michigan Central railroad tracks at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The body had been cut in two by a passing train. There was a huge gash in one side of the unfortunate man's head, audthis had led to talk of foul play. Hollister was last seen alive about 8:.°>5 o'clock. He had been very ill all day, and the symptoms became aggravated in the evening. He had a money package to deliver to the express messenger on the 8:30 train for Detroit. Although he was suffering greatly he made the trip to the station and delivered the package, which contained $750. Whether he received any money or valuable packages from thjj messenger is not known. None were found on his person or near where he was found. Neither was. his receipt hook in evidence. The authorities are of the opinion that his death was an accident. According to the Medical Record, a j ,gang of swindlers has been playing a despicable trick on numerous pharmacists in Brooklyn. A man goes to a drug store with a simple prescription, has it made up, and takes the mixture away with him. In an hour or two, or the following day, the purchaser returns with the medicine, which he says he gave to his wife or child, as the case may be, and that the patient was nearly killed by poison which was there through the blunder of the compounder. He says his physician has analyzed the mixture and demonstrated the presence of poison, and he allows the druggist to test it then and there. The poison is, of course, found, as the swindler has added it himself, and he thereupon announces his determination to sue the druggist for damages to atone for the results of his alleged blunder. If the pharmacist becomes frightened at the idea of a suit for damages, and thinks St may be possible that a mistake has beam mad*, he may accept the suggestion of the blackmailer to settle the C M * out of court The amount of sot- ~ t M * s t fc Witt 71» vary from 150 to More Pnrdonn Granted.

He had produced beforehand a round dozen of excellent invention^ whlen still bear his name, including the modern revolving chimney cowl; and, having made a large fortune, he developed himself t o harnessing the ordinary heat of a fire and making a new power of it. The idea was laughed at by all his friends, but, after four years of study and experimenting, he produced a stationary engine that gave double the power of any steam-driven mechanism at about a third the cost, and also a small model heat locomotive, large enough to draw a truck .i^ith a man in it. He invited a committee of scientists and engineers, inciudlng Profs. Huxley and Forbes Brown, and showed them that his two machines worked t o perfection. The-a8*ir made a great stir, and it proved that a great power of unlimited scope had been discovered. Waymouth was flooded with offers of huge sums for his invention, but, for no apparent reason, except, perhaps, the alleged madness of genius, he absolutely refused to. either bring it out himself or sell the secret He announced himself satisfied with the triumph of the invention and before his death, a year later, he destroyed all the papers and plans explaining the system, and removed the essential parts of the two engines. These engines are still possessed by his heirs, but nobody has been able to make anything of them. Still stranger was the famous loss of the recipe for the manufacture of diamonds, some fifteen years ago. Herbert. Warner, who alone discovered and held the secret of diamond making, did not live to wreck the diamond industry, as people thought he would, and the circumstances of the loss were mysterious and tragic. Inferior dlamond3 can still be produced artificially, but only at a cost of about ten times their value. Warner, after years of experimenting, was able to turn out a genuine diamond of large size and of the first water, at the cost of a small fraction of the complete stone's worth. He, like Waymouth, of heat power fame, manufactured his diamonds before an audience of scientists, and produced three fine stones, which were tested and pronounced faultless. Two of them are still in existence and are the greatest curiosities the jewel world has ever seen. But within a fortnight of this triumph, before any of the new stones vere put on the market, Warner utterly disappeared from his house in Harley street, London, leaving no trace whatever. So complete was his disappearance that from that day to this not the smallest explanation has been hit upon. Then there is the lost secret of the wonderful new meta. called "talium," which would certainly have been worth many millions sterling to the nation and the inventor. G-rantley Adams discovered it just eight years ago, and during its short life it was one of the greatest wonders of the "science and commerce" world. It was sheer vanity that kept Grant Finlay from giving to the world the benefit of his invention for the total abolition of smoke. He evolved a simple system by which any fire or light could be made to consume its own carbon, and though he demonstrated the usefulness of the invention many times, he obstinately refused to put it on the market or sell the secret of i t His own house, just outside Glasgow, was fitted with the system, which did not cost him thirty shillings for the entire building, and no Jot of smoke was ever emitted there. All his fire* consumed their own smoke, and he was fond of showing the efficiency ot his invention to guests, but never would he explain the working of i t and he died two years ago, earryina bis secret with him' to the grave.

AND DIED SATURDAY MORNING. SEPT. 14. PRESIDENT'S LAST FAREWELL. President McKinley died at 2:15 Saturday morning. His last conscious hour on earth was "spent with the wife to whom he devoted a lifetime of care. He died unattended by a minister of the gospel but his last words were a humble submission to God in whom he believed. He was reconciled to the fate to which a cruel assassin's bullet had condemned him and faced death in the same spirit of calmness which has marked his long and honorable career. His last conscious words, reduced to writing by Dr. Mann, who stood by his bedside when they were uttered, were as follows: "Goodbye. Ail good-bye. It is God's way. His will be done." His relatives and members of his official family were at the Milburn house, except Secretary Wilson. His friends came to the door took a parting look at him and turned tearfully away. He was practically unconscious during this time, but powerful stimuiauts, including oxygen, were employed to restore him to consciousness for the final par ting, with his wife. He asked for her and she sat at his side and held his hand. He consoled her and bade her good-bye. She went through the heart-trying scene with the same bravery and fortitude with which she has borne the grief of the tragedy that ended his life. President McKinley began to sink shortly after 2 o'clock Friday morning, after a critical period of 12 hours, in which alarm and hope mingled in the emotions of" those who surrounded him. Trouble began on the preceding afternoon through the failure of digestive organs to perform their functions. The necessity for nourishment had been pressing for several days and the partial failure of artificial means had* led to the adoption of natural means. The rectum, through which nourishment had been injected previously to Wednesday, became Irritated and rejected the enemas. This forced the physicians to try 4o feed him through the mouth, probably before the stomach was prepared.. The first administration of beef Juice through the mouth, however, seemed to agree with the patient, and tbe physicians were highly gratified at thejcay the stomach seemed to receive the food* The breakfast of chicken broth, toast and coffee, given Thursday morning, was *poken of by all the physicians as 'strong evidence of the president's marked Improvement. It was only when 1% became apparent late in the 'morning that this food had not agreed with the president that the first genuine anxiety appeared. \ % D o c t o r * W e r e A l a r w e d . Fresideiit McKinley, already weak from the ordeal of the tragedy, and suffering, complained of an increasing feeling of fatigue. He had heretofore been so buoyant and cheerful that his complaints were regarded seriously. The pulse was then also abnormally high, 120 beats to the minute. With n~ temperature of 100.2 it should have been 30 beats lower. The weakness of the heart began to arouse serious concern. Instead of growing better the president's conditio* after that grew steadily worse. At 8:30 Thursday night tike physicians announced o*cl*Uy that the president's condition was net so good. The problem of disposing of the foot: In the stomach woe Deceasing a serl ous one and the dagger.of aeart failure increased. As lattnlaJsV approached the situation was growls* critical. Calomel and oil were gtraf to flush the bowek} and digitalis ta^jutet his heart. However, just befete midnight thr president had two aaerntlona of tht, bowels, whltsk veltafajl him very much and the maMghtvolletin was more favorable. J £ staesjf that all tbe c©hdltlons nam faagJired since the last bulletin. • It w a i M t a M p ths* that tb* open- I™ last resort saline solution was injected into the veins. A general alarm went speeding to the consulting physicians and trained nurses as fast as messengers, the telegraph and telephone could carry it. The restoratives did not at once prove effective- and it was realised that the president was in an extremely critical coadltlon. The realization, with the shadow of death behind it, led to another call and that a summons to the cabinet, relatives^ and close personal friends of the president. A n Affecting* F a r e w e l l . Before G o'clock It was clear to those at the president's bedside that he was dying and preparations were made for the last sad offices of farewell from those who were nearest and dearest to him. Oxygen had been administered steadily, but with little effect in keeping, back the approach of death. The president came out of one period unconscious only to relapse into another. But in this period when his mind was partially clear, occurred a series of events of profcnindly touching character. Down stairs, with strained and tear-stained faces, members of the cabinet were grouped In anxious waiting. They knew the end was near, and that the time had come when they must see him for the last time on earth. This was about 0 o'clock. One by one they ascended the stairway—Secretary Root, Secretary Hitchcock and Atty.- Gen. Knox. Svcretnry Wilson also was there, but he held back, hot wish- 1 ug to <Kee. xhe presideuLJii his last^ agony. There was only a momentary stay of Hie -cabinet officers at the threshold **t the death chamber. Then they withdrew, the tears streaming down their faces and the words of intense grief choking their throats. After they left the sick room the physicians rallied him to consciousness and the president asked almost immediately "that his wife he brought to him. The doctors fell back into the shadows of the room as Mrs. McKinley came through the doorway. The strong face of the dying man lighted up with a faint smile as their hands were clasped. She sat beside him and held his hand and heard from him his last words of encouragement and comfort. Then she was led away, and not again during his living hours did she see him. Despite her physical weak ness she bore up bravely under the ordeal. The president himself fully realized that his hour had come and his mind turned to his Maker. He whispered feebly: "Nearer, my flod, to Thee." The words of the hymn were always dear to his heart. Then in faint accents he murmured: "Good-bye. all; good-bye. It is God'j* way. His will be done, not ours." With this sublime display of Christian fortitude the president soon after lapsed into unconsciousness. ills 11 Ce was prolonged for hours by the adoilnistra^en of «*#gen> and the* pretident flaalfr iexprewad a deelre to fee allowed to die* About 850 Friday night the administration of oxygen ceased and tbe pulse grew fainter and fainter. He was sinking gradually, tike a child Into the eternal wumber. 4 Midnight came, and still the tremendous vitality of the president was battling against dissolution. Another hour passed on, and still another. At 2 o'clock DnJUxey was the only physician in tfce death chamber. The others were • in' j§»- adjoining room, wbJj^ the relatives, cabinet efilcers and nearest friends were gathered in silent groups in the apartments below. As he watched and waited. Dr. Rixey observed a slight convulsive tremor. The president had entered the valley of tbe shadow of death. Word was at. once taken to the immediate relatives who were not present to hasten for the last took upon the president In life. They came lb groups, tbe women weeping and the; men bowed and sobsfteaes i*P»**i H»»'W»»w»'"t»*»""rr blng in their intense grief. Grouped about the bedside at this final moment were the only brother of the president, Abner McKinley and bis wife; Miss Helen McKinley and Mrs. Sarah Duncan, sisters of the president; Miss Mary Barber,- niece; Miss Sarah Duncan, niece; Lieut.. James F. Mc- Kinley. Wni. M. Duncan and John Barber, nephews; F. M. Osborne, a cousin; Secretary George B. Cortelyou, Hon. Charles C. Dawes, comptroller of the currency; Ool. Webb C. Hayes and Col. Wm. C. Brown. • , i The minutes were now flying and it was 2:15 o'clock. Silent and motionless, tbe circle of loving friends stood about the bedside. Dr. Rixey leaned forward and placed his ear close to the breast of the expiring president. Then he straightened up and made an effort to speak. "The president Is dead," he said. The president had passed away peacefully, without the convulsive struggle of death. It was as though he had fallen asleep. GANGRENE CAUSED D E A T H . MBS.

The angry spirit of the people at Buffalo had reached an intense pitch. Foreseeing the danger of pea* sible riot, the poiico headquarters, where Czolgoss Is confined, was roped off and the menacing thousands held at bay. If the president's death bad come before midnight it would hare- been difficult to avoMt a coaftict; but the srojEds,^gradjial^ broke up as tbe new Official A n n o u n c e m e n t of R e s n l t of A u t o p s y . The official announcement of the physicians as a result of their autopsy on the president's body that death resulted from gangrene of the wounds, led to much discussion of the causes leading up to this gangrenous condition. The_^Ttttut^rli^h--«tr4uai_^^^r^h^ breast bone did not pass through the skin and did little harm. TheWher bullet passed through both walls o^Jhe stomach near its lower border. Both holes were found to be perfectly closed by the stitches, but the tissue around each hole had become gangrenous. After passing through the stomach the bullet passed into the back walls of the abdomen, hitting and tearing the upper end of the kidney. This portion of the bullet track was also gangrenous, the gangrene involving the pancreas. The bullet has not yet been found. There was no sign of peritonitis or disease of other organs. The heart walls were very thin. There was no evidence of any attempt at repair on the part of nature and death resulted from the gangrene which affected the stomach around the bullet wounds as well as the tissuM, around tlie further course of the bulttt. Death was unavoidable by any surgical or medical treatment, and was the direct result oi the bullet wound. All the tissues through which the bullet passed were dead. This is very remarkable Indeed. The area of the dead flesh in the stomach was perhaps •is great ns a silver dollar in circumference. Dr. Wasdin, the marine hospital expert,, was strongly inclined to rhe opinion that the bullet had been poisoned. day came on, ana ny 2:io a. m., wneu the death announcement came, the down-town thoroughfares were deserted. For the moment the anger of the outraged people is forgotten in their poignant grief, and this will doubtless consign Czolgosz to the swift and inevitable punishment provided by law. T b e U n s p e a k a b l e T n r k . Fifty Armenian retiattrt|pnists, according to Turkish repHK recently set fire to the Mussulman quarters at M,ush, Turkish Armenia, where fighting afterward occurred, the Armenians retiring toward Sassoun. Massacres by Koords have already taken place in the Daiuizra district of Armena; 12 villages were destroyed and only the young girls were spared. History does not record a persecution more cruel that that which the Koords have mad* upon the Armenians. In two years, between the fall of 1SI>4 and the spring of 1S0«, it has been estimated that 80,- 000 were killed. The sultan makes no pretense of giving the Armenians as agreed when a commission of the powers was sent to investigate the massa ere of 1894. To make up fov the 80,- U00 Armenians whe had boen killed, he pardoned some 24 people of that country serving sentences, and com-i muted the sentences off 54, who were to have been executed, to life imprisonment. Also he agreed to appropriate a certain proportion of the state's taxes to them for the construction of churches and schools. This last part -of. the agreement was partly carried out in 1897, but it is claimed that the sultan has made no attempt to protect the Armenians by sending into their country the armed force necessary to prevent the Koords from attacking them.

If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, iyou're losing just that much money. I By the old system of milk-setting you lose-from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of uunecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperturc aud consistency causes, the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The hutter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty iper cent, more of it. No pans, crocks.or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it all in all, it saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay&r itself tenfold.

This island, w h i c h has always been an important commercial center, belonging at different times to Phoenicia, to Greece, -to Rome, to Arabia, to Spain, to France, s e w belongs to England. The of the island is about 100 square It is la the Mediterranean sea of such clarity of atmosphere that Mount Aetna, 130 miles away, can be -distinctly seen. The island is glorio u s l y memorable because the Knights « ( Malta for a long while ruled there, tat moee famous because of the apostolic shipwreck. The bestormed vess e l o n which Paul sailed had "laid to** on the starboard tack, and the wind was blowing east-northeast, and, t h e vessel drifting probably a mile and a half an hour, she struck at what is n o w called St. Paul's bay. Practical sailors have taken up the Bible account and decided beyond controversy t h e place of the shipwreck. But the island, which has so rough a coast, Is for the most part a garden. Richest fruits and a profusion of honey characterized it in Paul's time as well as s o w . The finest oranges, figs and olives grow there. When Paul and his comrades crawled o p on the beach, saturated and hungry from long abstinence from food and chilled to the bone, the islanders, though called barbarians bethey could not • speak Greek, their doors to the shipwrecked anXortnnates. Everything had gone t o the bottom of the fteep, and the barefooted, bareheaded apostle and ship's crew were in a condition to appreciate hospitality. About twentyflve such men a few years ago I found In the life station near East Hampton, l o n g Island. They had got ashore in t h e night from the sea, and not a hat o r shoe had they left. They found ont, as Paul and his fellow voyagers found out, that the sea is the roughest *& all robbers. My text finds the ship's crew ashore on Malta and around a hot Are drying themselves and with the best provision the islanders can offer them. And they go into government quarters for three days to recuperate, Publlus, the ruler, inviting them, although he had severe sickness i n the house at that time, his father down with a dangerous Illness. Yea, for three months they staid on the Island watching for a ship and putting the hospitalities of the islanders to a severe t e s t But it endured the test satisfactorily,and it is recorded for all the ages of time and eternity to read and hear in regard to the inhabitants *of Malta, **The barbarous people tahewed ns no little kindness." A Magnificent Word. Kindness! What a great word that i s ! It would take a reed as long a s that which the apocalpytic angel TOied to measure heaven to tell the length, the breadth, the height of that munificent word. It is a favorite Bible word, and it is early launched in tha book of Genesis, caught up in the hook of Joshua, embraced in the book •of Ruth, sworn by in the book of Samuel, crowned in the book of Psalms and enthroned in many places i n the New Testament. Kindness! A word no more gentle than mighty. I -expect it will wrestle me down before I g e t through with it. It i3 strong enough to throw an archangel. But it wHt he well for us to stand around i t and warm ourselves by its glow as Pant and his fellow voyagers stood around the fire on the island of Malta, where the Maltese made themselves immortal in my text by the way they treated their victims of the sea. "The barharoas people showed us no little Madness." The Grace of Forgiveness. B u t are you waiting and hoping for ^sorae one to be bankrupted or exposed o r discomfited or in some way overthrown then kindness has not taken nosseaslon of your nature. You are 'wrecked o n a Malta where there are oranges. You are entertaining a so unlike kindness that kindaril! not come and dwell under t h e same roof. The most exhausting unhealthy and ruinous spirit on is a revengeful spirit or retaliatrtag spirit, as I know by experience, l o r f have tried it for five or ten mlnat a time. When some mean has been done me or said about he*, t hare felt: "I will pay him in I d s ' o w n coin. I will show him up. Ingratet The traitor! The liar! i-villainV But five or ten minutes of the feeling has bean so unnerving and exhausting I have abandoned it, and I cannot understand how people can go about torturing themselves five or ten or twenty years, trying to get even with somebody. The only way you will ever triumph over your enemies is by forgiving them and wishing them all good and no evil. As malevolence is the most uneasy and profitless and dangerous feeling, kindness is the most healthful and delightful. And this is not an abstraction. As I have tried a little of the retaliatory feeling, so I have tried a little of the forgiving. I do not want to leave this world until I have taken vengeance upon every man that ever did me a wrong by doing him a kindness. In most of such cases' I have already succeeded, but there are a few malignants whom I a m y< suing, and I shall not be content until I have in some wise helped them or benefited them or blessed them., Rare Flower from Royal Garden. The king of Prussia had presented to him by the empress of Russia the root of a rare flower, and it was put in the royal gardens on an island, and the head gardener, Herr Fintleman, was told to watch it. And one day it pu{ forth its glory. Three days of every week the people were admitted to these gardens, and a young man, probably not realizing what a wrong thing he was doing, plucked this flower and put it in his buttonhole, and the gardener arrested him as \e was crossing at the ferry and asked the king to throw open no more his gardens to the public. The king replied: "Shall I deny to the thousands of good people of my country the privilege of seeing this garden because one visitor has done wrong? No; let them come and see the beautiful grounds." And when the gardener wished to give the king the name of the offender who had taken the royal flower he said, "No, my memory is very tenacious, and I do not want to have in my mind the name of the offender lest it should hinder me granting him a favor some other time." Now, I want you to know that kindness is a royal flower, and blessed be God, the king 6f mercy and grace, that by a divine gift, and not by purloining, we may pluck this royal flower and not wear it on the outside of our nature, but wear it on our soul and wear it forever, its radiance and aroma not more wonderful for time than wonderful for eternity. Hopeful and Cordial Wards. Oh, say the cordial thing! Say the useful thing. Say the hospitable thing. Say the helpful thing. Say the Christlike thing. Say the kind thing. I admit that it is easier for some temperaments than for others. Some are born pessimists, and some are born optimists, and that demonstrates itself all through everything. It is a cloudy morning. You meet a pessimist and you say, "What weather today?" He answers, "It's going to storm," and umbrella under arm and waterproof coat show that he is honest in that utterance. On the same block, a minute after, you Ineet an optimist, and you say, "What do you think of the commercial prospects?" and he says, "Glorious. Crops not so good as usual, but foreign demand will make big prices. We are going to have such an autumn and winter of prosperity as we have never seen." On your way back to your store you "meet~a~ pessimist merchant. "What do you think of the commercial prospects?" you ask, and he answers, "Well, I don't know. Wheat and corn crop blasted in Kansas and Missouri, and the grain gamblers will get their fist in, and the hay crop i3 short in some places, and in the southern part of Wisconsin they had a hailstorm and our business is as dull as it ever was." You will find the same difference in judgment of character. A man of good reputation is assailed and charged with some evil deed. At the first story the pessimist will believe in guilt. "The papers said so, and that's enough. Down with him!" The optimist will say: "I don't believe a word of it. I don't think that a man that has been as useful and seemingly honest for twenty years, could have got off track like that. There are two sides to this story, and* I will wait to hear the other side before I condemn him." My hearer, if you are by nature a pessimist, make a special effort by the grace of God to extirpate the dolorous and the hypercritical from your disposition. Believe nothing against anybody until the wrong is established by at least two witnesses of integrity. And, if guilt is proved, find out the extenuating; circumstances, if there are any. Kindness! Let us, morning, noon and night, pray for it until, w e get it. Kindness of Aotton. Furthermore, there is kindness of action. That Is what Joseph showed to his outrageous brothers. That is what David showed to Mephibosheth for his father Jonathan's sake. That is what "Qneslphoni8 showed to Paul in the Roman penitentiary. That is what William Cowptr recognized when he said he would not trust a m a n , w h o would with his foot needlessly crush a worm. That is what our assassinated President Lincoln demonstrated when his private' secretary found' him In the capitol grounds trying to get a bird back to the nest from which 1* had fallen, and which quality the illustrious man exhibited years before when, having with some lawyers in the carriage on the way to court passed on the road a swine fast In the mire, after awhile cried to his horses, "Ho" and said to the gentlemen, "I must go back and help that hog out of the mire." And he did go back and put on solid ground that most unintereit* ing Quadruped. That was the spirit that was manifested by my departed friend, Hon. Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia—and lovelier man never exchanged earth for heaven—when at Washington. A senator's wife, who told us of the circumstances, said t o him, "Mr. Stephens, come and see my dead canary bird." And he answered, or I could not look at the poor thing without crying." That is the spirit which last night ten thousand mothers showed to their sick children coming to give the drink at the tenth call as cheerfully and as tenderly as at the first call. Suppose all this assemblage and all to whom these words shall come by printer's type should resolve to make kindness an overarching, underglrding and all-pervading principle of their life and then carry out the resolution. Why In six months the whole earth would feel it. People would say, "What is the matter? It seems to me that the world is getting to be a better place to live in. Why, life after all is worth' living. Why, there is Shylock, my neighbor, has withdrawn his lawsuit of foreclosure against that man, and because he has had so much sickness in his family he is going to have the house for one year rent free. There is an old lawyer in that young lawyer's office, and do you know what he has gone in there for? Why, he is helping to fix up a case which is too big for the young man to handle, and the white-haired attorney is hunting up previous decisions and making out a brief for the boy. Do you know that a strange thing has taken place in the pulpit, and all the old ministers are helping the young ministers, and all the old doctors are helping the young doctors, and the farmers are assisting each other in gathering the harvest, and for that farmer who is sick the neighbors have made a 'bee,' as they call it, and they have all turned in to help him-get his crops into the garner? And they tell me that the older and more skillful reporters who have permanent positions on papers are helping the young fellows who are just beginning to try and do not know exactly how to do it. And after a few erasures and interpolations on the reporter's pad thejrvsay, 'Now, here is a readable account of the tragedy; hand it in, and I am sure the managing editor will take it.' " . Sew Dispensation of Conlullty. My hearers, you know ana I know we are far from that state of things. But why not inaugurate a new dispensation of geniality. If we cannot have a millennium on a large scale, let us have it on a small scale and under our own vestments. Kindness! If this world is ever brought to God, that is the thing that will do it. You cannot fret the world up, although you may fret the world down. You cannot scold it into excellence or reformation or godliness. The cast wind and the west wind were one day talking with each other, and- ^he—east wind said to -the—west wind: "Don't you wish you had my power? Why, when I start they hail me by storm signals all along the coast. 1 can twist off a ship's mast as easily as a cow's hoof cracks an alder.

Under my breath the nations crouch into sepulchers. Don't you wish you had my power?" said the east wind. The west wind made no answer, but started on its mission, coming somewhere out of the rosy bowers of the sky, and all the rivers and lakes and seas smiled at its coming. The gardens bloomed, and the orchards ripened, and the wheatflelds turned their silver into gold, and health clapped its hands, and joy shouted from the hilltops, and the nations lifted their foreheads into the light, and the earth had a doxology for the sky, and the sky an anthem for the earth, and the warmth and sparkle and the gladness, and the foliage, and the flowers, and the fruits, and the beauty, and the life were the only an* swer the west wind made t o the insolence of the east wind*s interrogation.

On Oraveotteaa' Memorial! the Figure* Are Placed Ufofcie Down to Denote ' Death and Betura to BartU— Work of Primitive Artist*. The study of the sign language oi the red man is a fascinating one. Perhaps the simplest form of their picture writing is that on the grave-head memorials of their chiefs. These are boards or posts, set up and inscribed with certain symbols. The depleting of figures upside down denotes death and return to earth, and figures thus inscribed are often seen in Indian epitaphs. In other esses—the idea of death is indicated by a cross with two spaces filled in, making a figure somewhat of the hourglass shape. On a post set up about 100 years ago a unique inscription Is to be read. A reindeer at the top Is the totem mark, of the deceased and his family, and is depicted upside down for the reason explained, t o the left of this figure are seven transverse marks, meaning that the dead chief had led seven war parties. Three vertical marks below mean three wounds received in battle. A moose's head tells of a desperate struggle with an infuriated animal of that sort, and a hatchet and pipe indicate great influence in peace and war. Another post, simply inscribed with the figure of a bear with three horizontal lines below it, shows that the departed hunter was of the Bear clan or family, and that he had» attended three war parties. An interesting example~ of Indian picture writing was found 6ome time ago in the Comanche country In Texas. The inscription, which dates back to the time when Spain was still engaged in American conquest, is upon the shoulder blade of a buffalo. A mounted Indian is depicted killing with a spear a Spaniard armed with a gun, the tragedy being enacted in the presence of the disputed buffalo Itself, who, in a piebald or semi-skinned condition, is contemplating the contest from a lower part of the picture. An elegant scroll line by the side of-the evidently doomed Spaniard expresses the circuitous route by which the Indian followed his enemy. The length of body and shortness of legs of the horse would seem to denote that it belonged to a dachshund variety of equines, while, to the uninitiated observer the buffalo somewhat resembles a cockroach. Several examples of what appear to be the artistic efforts of a very juvenile scholar in the absence cf his teacher's observation have been Interpreted by an expert. One picture contains two figures remotely in the likeness of humanity. One holds, or is supposed to hold—for the members of that body capable of that operation are represented by two straight lines—something not accurately defined. The purpose of the remaining actor in the scene represented is rather clearer. He is depicted in the act of "letting off" an antique firelock aimed direct at the other. By the side of the individual with the firelock are a bundle and a tree. Tho whole is a trespass notice, and a very strong hint to the passerby of what he may expect from the property owner should he attempt to filch.any of the latter's goods!

Yet many such instrument*, while apparently most'' 'eotnpttcatsd, are really based on very simple principle*. Of these the thermometer and the barometer are, of course, now generally understood, although this w a s not always true. Another meteorological instrument, however, which i» much used, but which is more or lose mysterious to the public, is that b y which the amount of moisture in t h e air Is , determined. While delicately constructed and balanced by means of fine springs, the chief reliance is placed in a few horse hairs, which are exceedingly responsive to the influence of dampness. When the air becomes moist they relax, and a pivoted bar, one end of which forms an indicator, Is drawn along a scale, which shows just to what extent the air is saturated with water. When the air is dry the horse hairs become tense and the indicator is returned to its appropriate place on the scale. It is in this way that track is kept of General Humid* ity, whose damp forces so effectually conspire to keep humanity in misery during warm weather. An Incomplete Home. We run wild over the furnishings of a house; its furniture, carpets, hangings, pictures and music, and always forget or neglect the most important requisite. Something there should bo always on the shelf to provide against sudden casualties or attacks of pain. Such come like a thief in the night; a sprain, strain, sudden backache, toothache or neuralgic attack. There is nothing easier to get than a bottle of St. Jacob's Oil, and nothing surer to cure quickly any form of pain, The house is Incomplete without i t Complete it with a good supply. The Light Care. Arc lights are now in use for t h e cure of skin diseases, especially of lupus. They have cured, it is said, 311 cases in 462 in Denmark, and in Lond o n the applicants for treatment number 100 a day. The rays destroy certain bacilli, it is said, and stimulate, circulation as well a s increase the nutritive activity. It is even alleged that cancer has been successfully treated. The patient bathes in a flood of 4,000,- candle-power light, lying on a cot in u cabinet, his eyes protected by colored glasses, and after this treatment he arises, free from rheumatism, asthma, consumption, ache, and many other things. Such at least is the report.

CHAPTBK XVn.-(ConUn«ed.) And thus was tae work accomplished; and with a wsult not to be won4«r«d a t The Arabs had bean brave enough > over their rich prises, but they had lacked the sinew and force of the attacking party. In fact, upon foot, hand to hand, and front to front, either Julian or his lieutenant might have been a match for half of them. "Those two rascals are not worth pursuing,'' said our hero, ^ s he noticed that Hobaddan was looking after the fleeing Arabs. "Let them go. We have gained all we sought." After this Julian turned towards the females. Ulin saw him coming, and, with no thought save that of tenderest gratitude, she moved forward to meet him. "Heaven bless you, kind sir!" she said, as she extended to him her hand. "8weet lady," returned the chieftain, fervently, "talk not of blessings to me. Let me be the one to call down blessings. I know to whom I owe my life and my liberty. Hobaddan has told me all. Oh, let me bear ever with me the blessed privilege of remembering thee in my prayers to God!" Tears gathered in the eyes of the maiden, and her lips trembled; and when she spoke her voice betrayed the deep emotion that stirred her soul. "Indeed, fair sir," she said, with her hand still rating in ale, "you should not deny to me the privilege which you claim for yourself. If you can feel pleasure in cherishing a holy gratitude, I can feel the same. When I reinsurer the dreadful fate to which the Arabs had doomed me, I cannot forget the blessings which are due to the kind power that delivered me." "As you please, lady," replied Julian, letting go her hand. "The thought that thou art blessing me will be a blessing Indeed. And here is our fair Albia," he continued, turning to the bondmalden—and a close observer might have seen that he thus turned in order to subdue emotions that were rising to trouble him. "J do not forget that some blessing belongs to you." "I have served my mistress," said Albia, modestly. And then, perceiving that a change of subject would be a relief to both parties, she added, "We owe you so much, sir, that you will be forced to accept my grateful blessings with those of my lady. And now, if I may dare to interrupt you, will you tell us how you chanced to discover us?" "It was very simple, lady." replied Julian, directing his answer to the princess; "and though seemingly an accident, still I cannot help thinking that some kind spirit must have superintended the work. When we left Damascus we took a course slightly different from this; but on the way we met a poor traveler who informed us that he had been robbed. He did not tell us that the robbers were Arabs, and I fancied that they might be some of my own people. Fearing this, I "aeTeTmlued to—follow—them.—Their course was a crooked one, and vhen I finally reached the grove of datepalms, I had made up my mind to search no more. We were asleep in the grove, and Osmir awoke just as a party of horsemen were leaving the spring. He ran out and discovered that the strangers were Arabs, and that they had two females with them." • • • * * • The chieftain directed ^he slaves to drag the bodies of the dead Arabs together, and take from them the gold and jewels which had been taken from the princess, and then to cover them up in the sand; after which he requested Hobaddan to examine his wound. It seemed to be but a slight puncture, just below the collar bone, upon the left side, and as it was bleeding but slightly, Julian concluded not to have it probed. A simple compress staunched the blood, and it was thought that there could be no danger. When the slaves had done their work, the chieftain approached our heroine, and asked her whither she wished to go. "I will see you safe to your journey's end," he said, "even though it be to the gates' of Damascus." "I go not that way, sir," she replied. "I wish to And the cave of an old hermit named Ben Hadad." Julian started as* he heard this; but he quickly recovered himself. "Do you know that old man?" he asked. "No, sir—I never saw him; but he was a friend to my mother and I think he will be a friend to me." "Ah—do you go out from Damascus to find a friend?" "I pray you, sir, ask me no questions. If yon know where Ben Hadad lives, and it would not trouble you too much, I freely'accept your escort" "Noble lady, I not only know his place of abode, but my own course lies directly that way. If we start at once and meet with no further obstacle, we may reach it by the rising of another sun." "The sooner we start tte better," said Ulin; "and I can ride a long time without resting." "We will ride as fast and as far as *ur horses are willing," added Julian, as he truned to prepare for the move. In a few minutes they were mounted, Ulin and Albia once more taking the horses that had brought them from Damascus; and when all was ready, the chieftain and his lieutenant led off, leaving Shubal to ride with the females, while Osmir and Selim brought up the rear. A few hours past noon they stopped in a pleasant grove, where pure fresh water bubbled forth from a basin of whit* saad, and here they made a dinner of bread and fruit while the horses rested. Julian spoke with the princess and asked her how she bore the fatigue of t-7ie Journey; but his manner was free from any shade of familiarity. She in turn asked concerning his wound, and expressed the hope that it might not prove serious. When he had gone, Albia remarked: "The more I see of that man, the more do I love and honor him. He is no common man, my lady." "I shall always remember him with gratitude," returned Ulin, gazing down as she spoke. "And I," added the bondmalden, earnestly, "should like to remain with him, and serve him always." "You are generous, Albia." "Because I am but a poor slave, and can only pay such debts with grateful service.*' "No, no, Albia—a slave no more. When we left my father's house you stepped forth free. You are my companion— not my slave." The girl caught the hand of her mistress, and bathed it with tears. "Free!" she murmured. "Aye—free to serve you now and evermore! Still, dear lady, there is a holy satisfaction in feeling that the servile badge is stricken off. Your poor slave loved you truly, and you may be assured that Bhe will love you none the less now that she is a slave no more." Shortly after this, and while yet Albia was drying her eyes, Julian called up the horses, and made ready for another start. Late in the evening they reached the bank of the Pharphar, and once more stopped to rest. The cave of the hermit was only a few leagues distant, and could be easily reached by midnight. For himself the chieftain did not care. He wished the princess to act her own pleasure. • » * • The cave of Ben Hadad was in a deep valley, where the river wound oetween two long, high hms; and thick woods shut it out from the heat of the noonday sun and from the gaze of the stranger. A good path led tu it from the plain, thoush a person needed acquaintance with the way in order safely to follow it. Julian was surely used to the path, for' he threaded its various windings without any hesitation, and at length drew up before a bold face of rock, beneath an overhanging shelf on which was the entrance to Ben Hadad's cave. It was too dark now to fee all this plainly, but those who had been there before knew very well where they were. A loud call from Hobaddan soon brought a lighted torch from the cave, borne by a black slave. "What ho, Ortok; where is your master?" demanded the lieutenant "Ho, ho—it is Hobaddan." "Yes. you grinning rascal, it is I; and it is also Julian; and, furthermore, others are with us. Where is Ben Hadad " "He is in his bed, sir, sound asleep." "And where is my—where is Ezabel?" "She is also asleep, sir." "Then call them at onee. But hold —lead" us into the cave first." The negro came out with his torch, and while Hobaddan stopped a few moments with the slaves to look after the horses, Julian letf Ulin and Albia into the cave. It was a broad, high chamber in the solid rock, and the light of the torch revealed the fact that there must be other chambers beyond. In a little while a tall, broad-shouldered old man, with hair and beard as white as the breast of a swan, came forth from a distant passage, and almost at the same time an aged woman came from another direction. Julin quickly approached them, and spoke a few words in private and then said, aloud: "These ladies, good father and Brother/ seek your *Jd~juut protection. Aik them BO questions tonight, tor they are worn and weary, and need repots. On the morrow they will tell you their story." He then approached7 the princess. The old woman, when she saw Albia's face, recognised her at once; and as she gazed upon the beautiful features of the princess, the latter said: tures of the princess, she said": "Good mother." replied Ulin, "I shall tell you the whole truth and then you will know just how much protection' we need," And thereupon she went on, and related all that had transpired to the present She told how she had consented to be the wife of the king-r-she told of the death of her mother—and then ahe told how, in her bereavement, she bgean to dread and fear the man she had promised to marry. The woman took Ulln's nandr and pressed it warmly between her own. "Dear child," she said, with much emotion, for she had been deeply moved during the recital—"you could not have told your story to one who could have better understood it. I not only sympathize with you, but I will protect you, if need be, with all the power I possess; and I assure you that our good Ben Hadad will join me with all his heart. You did right in fleeing from the wicked king. I know him well, lady; and I believe you have not only saved yourself from an unhappy fate, but you have saved Horam from committing more crime. Thus much we understand," and now, my dear Ulin, if I may venture upon the inquiry, what do you propose to do in the future?" "My thoughts in that direction have been vague and troublesome,". replied the princess. She spoke frankly, for Ezabel had won her entire confidence. "I have reflected upon the subject, and my mind has found but one resting place. I must remain away from Damascus until the king is dead. I can think nothing more. Where I abide I care not, so long as I am safe from harm." The princess fell upon the woman's neck and blessed her; and after a little time sne became calm, and wiped the grateful tears from her face. Her next question was of Julian. Had he yet left the cave?" "No," replied Ezabel; "nor will he leave it at present! He is wounded in the breast, and " "Wounded!" repeated Ulin, catching suddenly—at the word, and turning pale. "Is it dangerous?" "No, not dangerous, lady; but he must have rest and nursing. It is more serious than he at first thought; but if he is careful, there will be no danger." "Oh," cried the maiden, in a tone of relief, "I am glad it is not dangerous. If he had suffered on my account, the joy of my escape Crom Horam would have been sadly darkened." CHAPTER XVIII. Ezabel bowed her head, and pressed her hands upon her brow. There was certainly some aeep and sudden emotion moving within her, for her frame trembled, and incoherent whisperings fell from her lips. "Julian will not suffer," she said, when she at length raised her head. "Ben Hadad has examined his wound, and it can be easily healed." "You have known Julian for some time," pursued Ulin, musingly. "Yes. I have known him from childhood, and mv son has been his conttetta WIS* Ball S<s*ft*a» Mow a*4 with OHMS' Moftsra XssptwisssMts. "If," said a dealer in such things, "anybody had told our grandfathers that the time would come when we should have ball-bearing grindstones X suppose they would have thought he was crazy; but we have them now and they are not very costly, either. If the grindstone is one that is worked with a treadle there are ball bearings on the crank, where the treadle rod is connected, as well as on the shaft on which the grindstone turns. Really, it is a pleasure to see that homely old tool, the grindstone, mounted on ball bearings, and it is a positive delight to see how easily such a grindstone turns. But the ball bearings are not the only modern improvement in grindstone equipment. There are nowadays grindstone frames and attachments that are patented. The old, old way of turning a grindstone "was-with-a^crankr or * single treadle; but nowadays we have single, treadles, one for each foot, aud the frame that supports the grindstone has upon one end of It a seat like you see pn a mowing machine or anything of that sort, this being by no means a device for a lazy man.^but a convenient means of enabling the man using the grindstone to get at it to the best advantage. If you, knowing the grindstone of ancient times, will picture to yourself a man sitting in a comfortable seat so placed on the end of the frame that he can get square at the face of the stone, which he turns by means of two treadles, one under each foot, the stone itself turning on ball bearings throughout, a grindstone yet distinctly modernized, you will get some idea of the difference between the old grindstone and the new.—Detroit Free Press.

Mr. Thompson spent many years of his long and useful life as a missionary among the Indians of the West The great exposure rnd the drinking of so much bad water brought on Dia^tes, and at Wagoner, Indian Territory, he was struck down while preaching. Physicians, one of them a Chicago specialist, pronounced his case hopeless Dodd'8 Kidney Pills were recommended,- and—as-a^last-resort be tried them.

He was a strong youth, with the stature of manhood, while yet Julian was an infant; and from those early years the two have been always together.

Julian is much feared in Damascus/' said Ulin. "The king fears him," returned Ezabel, quickly; "and he has occasion for fear; but no poor man fears him. However. I will not take it upon myseif to excuse Julian's faults. He may have sinned; he may have pursued his revenge too far. Let those who have suffered what he has suffered condemn him if they can." "He has suffered much, good mother?" "More than I can tell, my child," "He Is of Damascus born?" Yes." "And—perhaps—of honored family?" "The blood which runs in his veins is as pure and noble as ever supported a human life. The king himself cannot boast a nobler origin; aye," continued Esabel, with startling earnestness, "and even now, with the whole story of his life up to this present hour, stamped upon his brow, he is nobler, and better, and purer, than the lords of Damascus.

The light house and life-saving station are also points ot interest and it. is well worth ones time to try and be present on drilling days when tjie civ-w come out.

When General QMif^irifr in China. fays a contributor t o p t u y t Stories, lie Journeyed by water from Tien-tsin to Peking. One morning there was no wind, and the .coolies, walking along the river bank, pulled the houseboat. They made little progress, and finally the general called his Chinese servant and said: "Boy, why for these coolies no can walkee more fast?" "Must talhee lowder," the boy replied. The general, thinking the boy's meaning was that Lie should speak fn a tone the coolies could overhear, raised bjs voiee and repeated: "Why for these coolies no can walkee more fast?" To, which tiie boy Imperturbably answered as before, "Must talkee lowder." Several times this dialogue was repeated, and General Grant did talkee louder, until he fairly shouted. At last the boy slightly varied his response: "No 'casion speak so high," he said. "More better talkee lowder." Our hero was just beginning to feel like Alice in Wonderlaud when-a ray of light seemed to flash across the mind of the boy, and he rushed to the end of the boat, seized fhe captain's arm and, dragging him to General Grant, exclaimed: ' "This man belong [pidgin English for 'is'J lowder; just now can talkee he." General Grant saw the joke. On Chinese boats the captain is called "lowd e r r H e r D o u b t . Mabel—What do you think of the Rev. Dr. Leach's idea that there will be few if any men in heaven?

While Mr. Lincoln was living in Springfield a judge of the city, who was one of the leading and most influential citizens of the place, had occasion to call upon him. Mr. Lincoln was not overparticular ia his matter of dress and was also careless in his manners. The judge was ushered into the parlor, where he found Mr. Lincoln sprawled out across a couple of chairs, reclining at his ease. The judge was asked to be seated and, without chang 4ng his position in the least, Mr. Lincoln entered Into conversation with his visitor. While the two men were talking Mrs. Lincoln entered the room. She was of course greatly embarrassed at Mr. Lincoln's offhand manner of entertaining his caller, and, stepping up behind her husband, she grasped him hy the halr~and rwttcbed- his bead -abotitr-a-t the same time looking at him reprovingly. * o n c e .

Reunion of ta« Seventh Mtahljraa Infantry at Detroit— Michigan Pensions—Event* and Gossip Prom All Fart* of tfre State Stewed Down for Beady Readlas* Forty years ago President Lincoln appointed John Jap Jackson of Parkersburg, W. Va., Judge of the United States circuit court and he still holds the position. During all these years he has never failed but once to hold court at the appointed time. That was when confederate troopSpUnder Gen. Loring were in possessioiPof Charlestown, where the sessions were held, and the session assigned for that date had to be postponed. It is announced from Constantinople that the Sultan has had to be bled. For some time he has manifested a somnolent tendency. Recently he slept continuously for fifteen hours, and after awaking for about an hour he went to sleep again. He was only roused by his Arab body physician applying ice to his temples. The physician then intimated to the Sultan that his condi* f.fati tfifHofttpd excess of blood, and that bleeding was necessary in order to obviate danger to the brain. After making the doctor swear on the Koran that no injurious results need be apprehended, the Sultan let himself be bled, and his quick-witted servitors gathered the blood into tiny phials, which can be sold to the faithful at 1<M> piastres each. ~~ i Dr. L. 0. Howard, entomologist of the department of agriculture, has Just made public some startling statements of the property losses caused by insects. He believes they aggregate over $300,000,000 a year. The Rocky Mountain locust or western grasshopper in 1874, ate up $100,000,000 worth of growing crops. The chinch-bug alone has eaten $300,000,000 worth of 'corn and wheat in the western states since 1850. As for the mosquito, apart from the losses believed to be due to its pernicious activity in the spread of yellow fever and malaria, It is an immense depredator of real estate values. A New Jersey newspaper recently estimated that its extermination in that one state alone would add to its real estate valuation not less than $100,000,000. The Flint Fair Accident. An accident that will result in the death of two of the victims, and which caused the serious Injury of several others, occurred on the Flint fair 1 grounds into Thursday afternoon. One of the, guy ropes of, a TtuTts wheel, operated by a man ndined. Crell, got loose, the stake to which It was fastened pulling out, and the structure fell. The cars were filled at the time. Joseph Pear, of Chicago, aged 30, while trying to save his sister and niece, was' taught and had his jaw broken. His skull was also fractured and be will die. Fred Borden, of Ionia, who was taking tickets, was struck and received injuries that will cause his death. Miss Bessie Weeks, aged 18, had her cheek bone crushed in; John, aged i), and Auabel. aged 8, children of liev. C. A. Llpplneott, were badly injured, but will recover. Miss Bertha Rock liad her shoulder cut, was badly bruised and was picked up in an unconscious condition. Fern Smith, aged 12,'was rendered unconscious, hut was not badly injured. Miss Alice Knight, daughter of M. A. Knight, had an arm broken. >M. \V. Hortou. who was selling tickets, was bruised on the wrist and leg. W i l l Serve 1*1 fe Sentence. Lucius A.

Lea Bourdon as their queen of the coal carnival. This young woman is in the coal trade in the capacity of a sifter, and although *her work is so grimy she has a beautiful complexion, which, no doubt, added to her good character, gave her the necessary number of votes, although the competition was keen, her fellow-candidates being drawn from the cleaner walks of life. The car which carried the queen and her maids of honor was decorated with flowers, picks, lanterns, etc. Mile. Bourdon is only 17, and the coronation In the center of the town made a very beautiful tableau. To be coal queen entitles her to a small annuity from the treasury of the town, and with her French thrift she will save this for her dot. oner to Jackson for life at hard labor. The murder was a cold-blooded affair. Weeks was jealous of the woman and shot her because she received at tentions from a rival. Weeks is a married man. He broke down when sentenced.

As the steamer Sheffield was leaving the river Scheldt one evening recently the captain and passengers observed the unusual phenomenon (in these latitudes) of a large waterspout. The steamer was a few miles off West Capple, and from a heavy thunder cloud lying due west of this point, and computed to be about ten miles distant, a dense black column was formed, which appeared to fall by a sinuous course Into the sea. At this distance the surface of the sea—where the waterspout touched its surfacewas at once surrounded by a smokelike obscurity. Hundreds of tons of water must have dropped heavily into the sea. The black line of communication between the oloud and the sea fell precipitately at nrst, then for some distance appeared to encounter a fresh current of air and was borne along laterally, after which it dropped into the sea. Thw phenomenon continued dashing up the surface of the sea tor about four minutes.

All day Thursday mulled drums heat their reoulemB. brasses walled out < » th3 strains of marches of the deadTP11*3^4^**"1-113^ great men of the nation followed a funeral car in grief and tears. Through solid banks of bareheaded men and weeping women and children, fringed by a wall of soldiers, marching military and civilians passed with the mourners of the distinguished dead. First among those who followed the dead during the Journey from the homo to the tomb was the man who is now at the head of the government. Mrs. McKinley Near* Collapse. Mrs. McKinley was unable to attend the funeral. While the last rites were being said she remained in a room of the family home, dazed, not realizing that death had come to her husband, almost paralyzed mentally. During the morning, at her urgent request., she sat alone for a time beside the coffin as it lay in the south parlor of the house. No one seeks to lift the veil that is drawn over this scene about the bier of the last earthly sleep. The casket was not opened. But she was near the one who ever had cared for and protected her; near tne dead for whom grief has burned fr into the soul of a country the lessons of manliness and beneficence taught by his life. Flnnl Ceremonlet Impressive. The last ceremonies for the late president were marked with a dignity that struck dumbness to the tens of thousands who watched the funeral column make the journey from the home to the cemetery. From the south parlor of the frame house which had so long been the family home the But the men, of the war days of forty years ago, with whom the martyred president had marched in his youth, passed up this road before the funeral car approached. They caught up the1 ilowers as they passed, pressing them to their lips. Just ahead of the hearse marched the handful of survivors at the late president's own regiment. They, too, gathered up the bloom* as tSlooms Taken as Mementos. So it happened that when the men of the army and of the navy carried the black casket within the, shadow of the vault the flower carpet had disappeared, its blooms, however, to be guarded for years as mementos of this day of sorrow. ' Just without the entrance to this mausoleum stood the new president of the United States. The colfln rested on supports only a hand's reach from him. Then the members of the cabinet formed an open line with him, and members of the family—all save the lone woman who was in the home under the close watch of Dr. Rixcy— gathered near. "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust," came the benediction from the lips of the venerable Bishop Joyce. The roar of the cannon echoed from the hilltop just above. It came as a mighty "amen." Again the white- .haired minister spoke. Again came the crashing roar of the salute, its rever berations beating on and on over the hills about the city. "Taps" Sounded by Bugler. "Taps," the saddest call the bugle language of the army knows, came from eight bugles. The last notes were held until the breath of the wind seemed to rob them of life. Away down the bread street, two miles away, the marching columns were 3till coming. The music of the bands, muted, it seemed, by some giant hand came floating to the group about th-3 vault— "Nearer, My God, to Thee, Nearer to FUNERAL TRAIN EN ROUTE FROM WASHINGTON SCENE AT A WAY STATION. TO CANTON casket was borne to the First Metho- j Thee." Once again came the crash dist church at Canton, with statesmen, j from the guns' above. diplomats, great men of nation, representatives of the world, gathered with the surrounding members of the family. Ministers of five religious denominations said .the simple services. Great Throng Joins In H y m n . Troops banked the streets about, but the thousands who had gathered near and stood in places for five h,ours held weir ground, catching up the broken drains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The silence of calm had come; jthe silence of supreme excitement had passed. "It was not at him," said the minister of the church, all but hidden from sight by the mountains of blooms and floral pieces that bound in the pulpit and choir loft, "that the fatal shot was fired, but at the heart of our government." Then he added: "In all Door Is Closed Upon Martyr. Then the casket was carried within the vault. Five infantrymen marched behind it. A moment passed ar.d the outer doors were closed. The last ceremony was over; the third martyred president of the United States. had been committed to God and eternity. Slowly the marching column treaded about the crescent road to the left of the temporary tomb. Then darkness threw its veil over all, tb.3 sileni guards took their stations, tho cejaetery gatoj were closed. Nevvr Mourning More Sincere. That is the bare outline of one of the most imposing and impressive funerals ever seen in the United States. To fill in all its details would lake the coming years men will seek, but [ Pages, while to convey an adequate will seek in vain, to fathom the enormity and the wickedness of that crime." New President in Tears. These words brought home with crushing force the warning that the last scenes were being enacted. Among those who sat with bowed heads was President Roosevelt The tears welled into his eyes as he heard the petitions that God might guide his hands aright. Then camo the last stage of this Journey to the city of the dead. Members of the United States senate, -those who sit in the house 6f representatives, officials and citizens from practically every state In the union, soldiers, military organisations—a column of more than 6,000 men followed the funeral car on this last journey. Path Is Carpeted In Flowers. The skies were hidden by cloud3 of gray, but not a drop of rain fell. The path of flagging Ifedtng to the iron-gated vault was burled beneath 1\ covering of blooms. This carpet of flowers came as an/offering frua. the school cfeildnea of Nashville, lean. idea of the feature of it all which was most conspicuous—the depth and silence of the grief displayed—is beyond words. In that respect it was tho scenes of Wednesday enacted over again with increased intensity. All along through the great black lane of people that stretched from the Mc- Kinley hone to the cemetery—quite two miles—were men and women weeping as though their dearest friend was being !»oine to the grave. Every Eye Dim With Tears. About the tomb Itself the outburst of grief wMstlll more striking. As the casket Wffs borne into the vault there was not a member of the cabinet who was hot vTsTbTy" affected, while several were in tears, with their handkerchiefs to their eyes. Secretary Root, although controlling himself to #ome degree of outward calm, was deeply moved, while President Roosevelt repeatedly pressed his handkerchief to his eyes. Scenes at the Church. It was 1:50 o'clock when the procession reached the stately stone ediflco where the funaral services wore to be held. At the church entrance were drawn up deep, flies of soldiers, with bayonets advanced, keeping a clear area for the advancing casket and the. long train of mourners. The hearse halted while President Roosevelt and members of the cabinet aiighted. Again they grouped themselves at either side of the entrance, and with uncovered heads awaited the passing of the casket Then the flower- coverea coffin was brought from the »hearse and as it passed within the, black-draped entrance the president and his cabinet followed within the edifice. Members o f Congress Enter. At tho rear of each or tne tour aisles stood a soldier at attention, cap in hand, musket held straight in front. The members of the senate entered.

GZ oblivion and Its defeats X speak 'today. There is an old monster that •wallows down everything. ' It crunches individuals, families, communities, toamisphe « p of yea etjdes, of •aonster 1: w • nations, continents, worlds. Its diet is made of centuries, of ages, of kiUenniums. of eons. That Called by Noah Webster sad all other dictionaries "Oblivion." It Is a steep down which everything tolls. It is a conflagration in which everything is consumed. It is a dirge which all orchestras play and a period sit which everything* stops. It is the cemetery of the human race. It is the domain of forgetfulness. Oblivion! At times it throws a shadow over all of us, and I would not pronounce it today if I did not come armed in the strength of the eternal Ood on your behalf to attack it, to route it, to demolish it. Why, just look at the way the families of the earth disappear. For awhile they are together, inseparable, and to oach other indispensable, and then they part, some by marriage going to establish other homes, and some leave this life, and a century is long enough to plant a family, develop It, prosper it and obliterate it. So the generations -vanish. Walk up Pennsylvania avenue, Washington; Broadway, New York; State street, Boston; Chestnut Btreet, Philadelphia; the Strand, London; Princess street, Edinburgh; GbAmps Elysees, Paris; Unter den Linden, Berlin, and you will meet in this year, 1901 not one person who wanted there in the year 1801. What -emgalfment! All the ordinary • efforts at perpetuation art dead failures. Walter Scott's Old Mortality may go round with his chisel to recut the faded epitaphs on tombstones, but Old Oblivion has a quicker chisel with which he can cut out a thousand epitaphs while Old Mortality is cutting one epitaph. Whole libraries of biographies devour- «d of bookworms or unread of the rising generations. All the signs of the stores and warehouses of great firms have changed, unless the grandsons think that it is an advantage to keep the old sign up because the name of the ancestor was more commendatory than the name of the descendant. The city of Rome stands today, but dig ' down deep enough, and you come to another Rome, buried, and go down still farther, and you will find a third Some. Jerusalem stands today, but *Jttg down deep enough and yon will land a Jerusalem underneath and go on and deeper down a third Jerusalem. Alexandria, Egypt, on top of an Alexandria, and the second on top of t^e third. Many of the ancient cities are buried thirty feet deep or fifty feet deep or 100 feet deep. What was the matter? Any special calamity? No The wind and waves and sands and 'flying dust are all undertakers and rgravediggers, and if the world stands long enough the present Washington and New York and London will have top of them other Washingtons New Yorks and Londons, and only after digging and boring and blasting will the archaeologists of far distant centuries come down as far as the ihighest spires and domes and turrets >ot our present American and European ^cities. Th* Boll of Armies. Call the roll of the armies of Baldwin I. or of Charles Martel or of Marlborough or of Mlthridates or of Prince iFrjederick or of Cortes, and not one answer will you hear. Stand them in tine and call the roll of the 1,000,000 in the army of Thebes. Not one Stand them in line, the 1,704,690 infantry and the 200,000 cavalry of the Assyrian army under Ninas, and call the roll. Not one an- .«wor. Stand in line the 1,000,000 men •of Sesostris, the 1,200,000 men of Attaxorxes at Cunaxa, the 2,641,000 >man under Xerxes at Thermopylae and -eon the long roll. Not one answer. the opening of our civil war the of the northern and southern were told that if they fell in their names would never be sfatfotten by their country. Out of million men who fell in battle or in military hospitals yon cannot »oaH the names of a thousand, nor the mvoja* of 680 nor the names of 100. moraine names o* fifty. Oblivion! Are too'feet of the dancers who at the < of the Duchess of Richmond at the night before Waterloo all sttil? heard dealt AU deaf, Ars too eyes that ^ w the coronation of George U. all claeedt All closed. Oblivion! A hundred years from now there will not bo a being on' this earth thai knew we ever iited. In some old family record a descendant studying up the ancestral line may spell out our name and from the faded Ink with great effort find that some person by our name wan born somewhere in the nineteenth century, but they will know no more about us than we know about the color of a child's eyes born last night in a village in Patagonia. Tell me something about your great-grandfather. What were his features? What did he do? What year was he born? What year did he die? And yoitf great-grandmother? Will you describe the.style of the hat she wore, and how did she and your great-grandfather get on in each other's companionship? Was it March weather or June? Oblivion! That mountain surge rolls over everything. Even the pyramids are dying. Not a day passes but there is chiseled off a chip of that granite. The sea Is triumphing over the land, t and what is going on at our Atlantic coast Is going on all around the world, and the continents are crumbling into the waves, and while this is transpiring on the outside of the world, the hot chisel of the internal fire is digging under the foundations of the earth and cutting its way out toward the surface. It surprises me to hear the people say they do not think the world will flnallly be burned up when all the scientists will tell you that it has for ages been on fire. Why, there is only a crust between us and the furnaces inside raging to get out Oblivion! The world itself will roll into it as easily as a schoolboy's India rubber ball rolls down a hill, and when our world goes It is so interlocked by the law of gravitation with other worlds that they will go too, and so far from having our memory perpetuated by a monument of Aberdeen granite in this world there is no world in sight of our strongest telescope that will be a sure pediment for any slab of commemoration of the fact that we ever lived or died at all. Our earth is struck with death. The axletree of the constellations will break and let down the populations of other worlds. Stellar, lunar, solar, mortality. Oblivion! It can swallow and will swallow whole galaxies of worlds as easily as a crocodile takes down a frog. Yet oblivion does not remove or swallow everything that had better not be removed or swallowed. The old monster is welcome to his meal. This world would long ago have been overcrowded if not for the merciful removal of nations and generatipns. What if all the books had lived that were ever written and printed and published? The libraries would by their immensity have obstructed intelligence and made all research impossible. The fatal epidemic of books was a merciful epidemic. Many of the state and national libraries today are only morgues, in which dead books are waiting for some one to come and recognize them. What if all the people that had been born were still alive? We would have been elbowed by our ancestors of ten centuries ago, and people who ought to have said their last word 3,000 years ago would snarl at u&', saying, "What xare you doing here?" There would have been no' room to turn around. Some of the past generations of mankind were not worth remembering. The first useful thing that many people did was to die, their cradle a misfortune and their grave a boon. This world was hardly a comfortable place to live In before the middle of the eighteenth century. 60 many things have come into the world that were not fit to stay in we ought to be glad they were put out The waters of Lethe, the fountain of forgetfulness, are a healthful draft The history we have of the world in ages past is always one sided and cannot be depended on. History is fiction illustrated by a few straggling facts. * * • ' Wby We Should Be Bem«mbered. Now, I have told you that thlsobll-r vion of which I have spoken has its defeats and that there is no more reason why we should not be distinctly and vividly and gloriously remembered five hundred million billion trillion quadrillion qulntilllon years from now than that we should be remembered six weeks. I am going to tell you how the thing can be done and will be done. We may build this "everlasting remembrance," as my text styles it, into the supernal existence of those to whom we do kindness in this world. You must remember that this infirm and treacherous faculty which we now call memory is in the future state to be complete and perfect. "Everlasting remembrance!" Nothing will slip the stoat grip of that celestial faculty. Old you help a widow pay her rent? Did yon find for that man released from prison a place to get honest work? Did you pick up a child fallen on the curbstone and by a stick of candy put his hand stop tot hurt on hit acratched kneefBid yew assure a business mail owamped by the stringeney of the money markot that times would afterawhile ho, battett DWyoaleada Magdalen of the street into a mjdftit** mtstion, where the Lord said to bet, ^Neither do I condemn thee. Qo ond sin no more?" Did you teli>* man clear discouraged in his waywardness and hopeless and plotting suicide that for him was near by a lover in which he might wash and a coronet of eternal blensednesa he might wear? What are epitaphs in graveyards, what are eulogiums in presence of those whose breath Is in their nostrils, what are unread biographies in the alcoves of .' city library, compared with the imper* ishable records you have made in the illumined memories of those to whom you did such kindnesses? Forget them? They cannot forget them. Not* withstanding all their might and splendor there are some things the glorified of heaven cannot do, and this is one of them. They cannot forget an earthly kindness done. They have no cutlass to part that cable. They have no strength to hurl into oblivion that benefaction. Has Paul forgotten the inhabitants of Malta, who extended the island hospitality when he and others with him had felt, added to a shipwreck, the drenching rain and the sharp cold? Has the victim of the highwayman on the road to Jericho forgotten the good Samaritan with a medicament of oil and wine and a free ride to the hostelry? Have the English soldiers who went up to God from the Crimean battlefields forgotten Florence Nightingale? Through all eternity will the northern and southern soldiers forget the northern and southern women who administered to the dying boys in blue and gray after the awful fights In Tennessee and Pennsylvania and Virginia and Georgia, which turned every house and barn and shed into an hospital and incarnadined the Susquehanna and the James and the Chattahoochee and the Savannah with brave blood? The kindnesses you do to others will stand as long in the appreciation of others as the gates of heaven will stand, as the "house of many mansions" will stand, as long as the throne of God will stand. Defeat of Oblivion. Another defeat of oblivion will be found in the character of those whom we rescue, uplift or save. Character ia eternal. Suppose by a right influence we aid in transforming a bad man into a good man, a dolorous man into a happy man, a disheartened man into a courageous man, every stroke of that work done will be immortalized. There may never be so much as one line in a newspaper regarding it or no mortal tongue may ever whisper it into human ear, but wherever that soul shall go your work upon it shall go, wherever that soul rises your work on it will rise, and so long as that soul will last your work on it will last. Do you suppose there will ever come isuch an idiotic lapse In the history of that soul in heaven that it shall forget that you invited him to Christ; that you, by prayer or gospel word, turned him round from the wrong way to the right way? No such insanity will ever smite a heavenly citizen. It is not half as well on earth known that Christopher Wren planned and built St. Paul's as it will be known in all heaven that you were the Instrumentality of building a temple for the sky. We teach a Sabbath class or put a Christian tract in the hand of a passerby or testify for Christ in a prayer meeting or preach a sermon and go home discouraged; as though nothing had been accomplished, when we had been character building with a material that no frost or earthquake or rolling of the centuries can damage or bring down. There is no sublimer art on earth than architecture. With pencil and rule and compass the architect sits down alone and in silence and evolves from his own brain a cathedral or a national capitol or a massive home before he leaves that table, and then he goes out and unrolls his plans and calls carpenters and mason and artisans of all sorts to execute his design, and when it is finished he walks around the vast structure and Bees the completion of the work with high satisfaction, and on a stone at some corner of the building the architect's name may be chiseled. But the storms do their work, and time, that takes down everything, will yet take down that structure-until there shall not be one stone left upon another. But there is a soul in heaven. 88 m 353 /*i m+» LMB!& A YOUNO OHIOAJ HMfclftVl Brooklyn. IC T„ iapt. misinform*-. received regarding tho wc~ it taer Qi |l* ovei the !'€annptOof!>ff»' She XlgbA (&mi.

Leaking gas lets will be a thing of the past The disagreeable duty of cleaning keroaeue lamps will be only a memory and a tradition. Every family will have a supply of porcelain or glass globes, each one of them a tiny sun, throwing out a strong, beautiful white light from within. The globe will be something of a mystery, for it will have no connection with any wires, and it will require no refilling or attention. It will be sealed hermetically, and its contents will probably be concealed from sight, but by shaking it one may be able to ascertain that there is a liquid inside. Cannot Govern the Light. There will be no way of turning the light down or of turning it off. It may be put in a closet in the daytime or hidden under a hood, but It will go right along putting in 24 hours' work every day. The inventor says it will continue to do its very best so long as the globe remains sealed perfectly, even though that should be for years. The secret of the perpetual light is a combination of chemicals in a vacuum. The chemicals are four or five In number, but Mr. Magrady declines to give further information as to their identity until the patent office has passed on his application for a patent. They are less than an ounce in bulk. When brought into contact in the globe, they dissolve and give off strong fumes. When these fill the receptacle the globe is sealed so perfectly as to keep out all air. The gas :tMJM ^ i ^ M s f c . ^ W apt ;to aott^ tho GEORGE P. MAGRADY. formed by the chemical combination glows with dazzling intensity, the inventor says. A test has shown a strength of 36 candle power. The light is white and is as steady as an incandescent electric light, there being no flicker. Mr. Magrady is a photographer and made his discovery by accident. While engaged in photographic work he noticed a bottle give forth a small but bright light, and on investigation learned that it happened to contain a mixture of several chemicals. He at once saw the possibility of a new illuminant and began a series of experiments to determine its quality and to discover the conditions under which it might be made of practical use. He was successful in his experiments and now declares that a lamp can be made at a cost of about 75 cents. Shocking Turkish Superstition. Hanan, a village on the borders of Anatolia, in Turkey, was the scene of a horrible tragedy a few days ago. There had been an epidemic In the district for some weeks, and, as its ravages ever became greater, the villagers finally felt satisfied that ft was the work of sorcerers, and, after a thorough Investigation, they arrested a man named Asian, and his sister and openly charged them with being the direct cause of the disease. The two prisoners avowed their innocence, but the mob insisted that they had been using incantations and other evil spells, and that their sole object in doing so was to invoke an epidemic. Without delay sentence was pronounced. Asian was burned alive on an improvised scaffold, and his sister was mercilessly tortured with red hot irons. News of the shocking crime was at once taken to the local authorities and in a few hours the principal instigators were arrested. It is not believed, however, that this step will aid much toward the extirpation of superstitious •Jsas In Kannn. t..M* oi* 1 ,''f ip" "" V*. fcOa-V, A *#>A :222£& tVwJtt Trees grow out 61 'doors and doors are made out of trees.'

(Copyright, 18C1, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Conductor Shaffer of No. 5 let himself down from the rear end of his train aa it'came to a standstill. He cast an inspecting glance along the line of cars and at first hardly noticed the white-haired man who came creeping out from under the car near which he has standing. It was evident that the stranger had been stealing a ride, and he was dirty and begrimed; but in spite of the unattractive appearance of the man there was something unusual in his appearance that would cause anyone to look at him a second time. The skin had the pink tint and smoothness of youth, yet the hair above the face waa aa white as winter •now. The men looked at each other a moment and then the Btranger turned quickly as if about to move •way; 8aid Conductor Shaffer; "Joe Jordon, by thunder!" "Hoped you wouldn't know me, Shaft." "I'd k9ow you in the kingdom come, Joe. But, Lord, how you have changed!" Joe appeared a bit uneasy and moved from one foot to the other restlessly. "What you doing under that train?" "Riding the rods." "From where?" "Other end of the division/' "Where were you going?" "Didn't know and didn't care. Just got out because I was getting cramped." "You are a regular bum, then?" "Yep, pretty much." "Just you get right in the smoker there and after I work the train I will come in and talk 4o you." After Conductor Shaffer had done "Joe Jordon, by thunder!** bit work be went forward and ant down by the side of the queer looking tramp, "Kind of getting up in the world gome, ain't yon, Shaft r ••How?" v N "Kind of elevated from a freight run to this." "Yep, made up my mind three years ago that the old man on the I. N. and W. would tfeyer give me a chance, so I took the first offer and transferred over here. Had not been here six months until I got this passenger run. You seem~fo"beFTsHir on the slow freights In your line, Joe. What on earth has happened to your hair?" "It's a pretty long story, Shaft, unless you have got time to listen." "Twenty miles to the next stop." "Well, you see, it is like this. Shaft. It's five years since I dropped out Not one single person that I knew or that knew me in the old days has ever seen me or spoken to me since then until I ran across you this morning. There was no one dependent upon me, and no one that cared, I guess. You know that I was running pretty strong with Mary Parr then for a time, and although she is married now " "What's that?" "Well; I ain't ashamed to say that I . thought a lot of her and if things had gone differently may be I would have had a passenger run by this time. One evening Mary and I had a little spat— didn't amount to much, but we thought it did—and that settled it. Then I heard that she was going with Henry Weber, a machinist at the shops, and so I kind of dropped out. Left the road and worked all over for a time. Then I got to traveling about a bit, and soon I was on the bum. You don't know how easily a fellow can drop into that, especially a fellow that knows railroading as I do. I have traveled all over these United States without a cent It's hard lines some times, but I don't know but it ia aa good aa any other if a fellow don't care what becomes of him. "About my white head? Did you ever hear that a man's hair could turn gray in a night I never took much stock in that, but here before you is a sample of what can be done by tear. It was in this way. I had been wandering down through the eastern states some three years ago, and one night 1 landed at Lancaster, Pa. There waa a young fellow hanging around the Pennsylvania road's water tank and we decided to travel together. It waa warm even if it was late winter and we began nosing around the cars. The young fellow found a car door unsealed and called re-me. We climbed in and found ourselves in a car loaded with bananas. It was pleasant enough and we found straw on top of the crates and made it a good place for sleeping. Before I went to sleep a brakexnan came along and I heard him swearing because the banana car had not been teaied before it left Newa X and then ? uearu him closing Pi* door. It Jld not seem that I had been alseep very long when I waa awakened by my companion. Said he: 11 'There is something inOhi* car/ "'Of course there ia/ said I, and about to fall asleep again. "'It's something crawling. Dont you feet them ?' "I knew that he was telling the truth and felt that I also had the same to tear. Our warm bodies probably attracted the creatures, because they be- ' gan to crawl over us, and to this day I have only to close my eyes and I can see and feel those hairy legs and little claws creeping on my flesh. Suddenly my companion gave a scream and began beating the air and fighting the tarantulas. We were pressed so clo*e to the roof of the car that we could scarcely move, and as I lay there not daring to even turn a hand or foot it was fearful. The odor from the insects that he had crushed and from the ripe fruit was in itself overpowering, and It is not surprising that I soon became unconscious. And that no doubt saved my life and reason. "It was some time the next day when I awoke, and there was daylight in the car. I looked about and there was not a tarantula in sight I called to my companion, but there was no answer, and 1 was too weak to get over to him. After a time I heard people moving outside and made an outcry that attracted attention. At last the car was opened and I was released. I won't trouble you with all those details, but they found the body of my companion. It was swollen to horrible size and a fearful thing to see. I lay in a hospital three weeks and when I came out my hair waa like it is now, although you know, Shaft, 1 am less than thirty." "I have had some darned queer stories told me, Joe Jordan, but that takes the calie. Who told you that Mary Parr was married?" "Nobody; just knew it was all." m*^wmmfi*i ft t* t e e ' Qs&esst :'.MH , ^Be.

Her steam pressure was 12 pounds per inch. She was 207 feet long, about 2,000 tons displacement her engines developed about 750-horse power, and her coal consumption was about 40 tons a day, or about five pounds of coal per indicated horse power per day.

Benton. 111., Sept 30th.—Much comment has been caused by the action of Dr. R. H. Dunaway, a physician here, who for over a year past has been recommending Dodd's Kidney Pills to those of his pauents who suffered from Rheumatism, Bright's Disease, Diabetes or other Kidney Troubles. Dr. Dunaway also published an open letter last May stating positively that he himself had been cured of Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that, after he had concluded be was going to die. He is a well man today and says he feels It his duty to do as he has done and is doing because Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his life. their friends.

This town is reached only by pack animals, and everything Is carried into the place on the backs of the patient beasts. On the day before I left a leading citizen invited me to his house, where he said a reception would be given in my honor. I found about thirty people present We sat down to a bountiful feast, at the close of which the cigars were brought out, and we enjoyed ourselves until daylight, according to the customs of the country. A fine variety of wine was served during the night The next day I learned that the party consumed 180 bottles of champagne. This wine had been shipped 10,000 miles by water, 260 miles by railway train, and had been packed 110 miles into the town. The cost of transportation was appalling to an American, but the natives seemed to think it a mere bagatelle. The wine for the feast probably cost 81.500.

Mrs. Brown made the foolish suggestions of burglars, croup, and neuralgia, but he was fixed in his purpose. Brown is the best and most reliable sleeper in town. The storm came with its deluge. The swaying hollyhocks banged him in the face, and the swinging branches of the big maple tried to bat him out of the hammock. But they only rocked him, and the rain cooled him. His visions were a charm until he dreamed that he was Cadillac, standing at the prow of his bateau and going for the foot of Randolph street as though pursued by a sea serpent of the New York yell journal breed.

These people have opened their pleasant homes for* the season of tbe Exposition in order to pay an indebtednes> on their church. They are very kind to quests making them feel like Irtends and not strangers. Their bouses are easy of access, as we found on the eve of our arrival. The pastor came to the train but in the crowd we missed each other so we followed the directions given us before leaving home, viz: go one block to Main st. take a Main st. car to Niagara st. transfer to Niagara car fiO north on Niagara st. to Farmer, as you get off at Farmer you are on the right side ot tbe track, take left side of the st. and g o two bLcks to East st. as you turn to the left you will see the house close by the corner with a Sag out to guide you. This is tbe home of the pastor. If their rooms are filled yon can be accomodated near by. On leaving the Exposition grounds you can take a car at tbe north gate, avoiding the crowd that congregates at the other entrances and soon be at your boarding place.

The following suggestions, if you please, are not from an artist nor even from a connoisseur, the writer being nothing more than an ordinary picture lover. In general the principle to be followed is to get as much in an atmosphere of pictures as possible. Always go to the museums when you are traveling, and if you live near enough make occasional picture visits to Boston, Chicago or New York. Do not make the mistake of staying too long in a gallery. You only tire yourself. Half an hour is quite long enough. But do not endeavor to look at every picture in the gallery in that time. Look long at a few good ones and let those you look at be those you like or at least those which you prefer above the others. Also ask yourself w h y you prefer them. Always get :t catalogue. Sometimes the pictures are not marked, and yon as a student want always to know the painter of your picture.-Frederic H Smith in Woman's Home Companion* «. - • - - • ••' ....--.-»•-—..- . , .

The old gentleman had returned to the home of his boyhood for the first time in ten years or more and, as on the last occasions, he had written "and wife" after his name on the hotel register. Of course the keeper of the hotel was glad to see him,and grasped him warmly by the hand, "Ain't grown a day older than when you w a s here last," he said. "No?" said the old gentleman half inquiringly. "Not a day," returned the tavern keeper emphatically. "Your wife seems to have changed more'u you." "Yes?" "Oh, yes. Leastways she does to me. Looks thinner than when you w a s here last." "Indeed?" "Yes. She ain't near so fleshy as she was, accordin to my recollection.

A horseman had an amusing experience near the speedway a few days *gOT He called to an idle newsboy to hold his horse while he made a call on a client. On leaving the house he was surprised to see another boy in charge of the horse. So he asked: "How's this? You are not the boy I left my horse with." "No, sir. I jist spekilated and bought him of the other boy for 10 cents. He said as how y o u were only worth a nickel, and I says you were good for a quarter. See?' . The boy got the quarter and went around the corner, where the first boy was waiting under an open window in the home of the horseman's friend. "That's the way ter work the swells," said the young speculator to his companion. "Ef you had staid, he woulder coughed up a dime. The bluff made him ershamed to hand over less than the two bits.

"Into no department in life," says Yuan Mei, a Chinese authority on cooking, "should indifference be allowed to creep; into none less than into the domain of cookery. Cooks are but mean fellows, and if a day is passed without either rewarding or punishing tbem that day is surely marked by negligence or carelessness on their part If badly cooked food is swallowed In silence, such neglect will speedily become a habit. Still, mere rewards and punishments are of no use. If a dish is good, attention should be called to the why and the wherefore. If bad, an effort should be made to discover the cause of the failure," A R e t l a r y . A retlary was the name of a Roman gladiator armed in a peculiar way. H e was furnished with a trident and net, with no more covering than a short tunic, and with these implements he endeavored to entangle and dispatch his adversary, who was called a secutor (from sequi, to follow) and w a s armed with a helmet a shield and a sword.

Among some intensely amusing college scrapes told by "A Graduate" in The Ladies' Home Journal is the story of a certain professor not much liked by his pupils who was to be married. The lady lived in Cleyeland. And the students that loved (?) him were not of course invited. But they determined that in some way he should hear from them. And he did. On the day appointed the professor took the train at 10 a. in,', due to arrive at Cleveland at 12:30 p. m. About 11 o'clock Jim Townsend rushed, to the telegraph office and sent off this dispatch: "Chief of Police, Cleveland: Man coming on train No. 6, tall, well dressed, frock coat, silk hat, side whiskers.

Dana of the New York Sun was a man of extensive learning and attached great importance to college training, but was quick to recognize the value of the practical education that a man of good pa its may pick up in this workaday world outside of university walls. A young man went to The Sun office one day and asked to see the editor In chief. He would not be rebuffed by the subordinates and after some delay was admitted. He stated bis business without a moment's loss of time. "Mr. Dana." he said, "I believe 1 coqld be of some use on this paper, and I want you to give me a trial. If 3-ou don't find me of any use, you needn't pay me any salary, and if you do I shall want a good salary. If I don't find my proper groove in a month, you can drop me out." Mr. Dana looked him over. "Young man," he said, "I like your looks. Have you ever attended any institution of learning?" "Yes, sir. I am a graduate of two newspaper offices, one a country weekly and the other a daily paper in a city of 100,000 inhabitants." "I'll take you. Go and report to the managing editor."

Just before the Franco-German war a traveling quack iu France4 employed as his clown, after the fashion of the day, a man named Tore, who testified to the excellence of his master's cure for indigestion by swallowing corks and pebbles. After leaving the quack he enlisted and in the presence of Dr. Lorentz tore open a live cat, sucked Its blood and devoured it. He also ate in the fcame y,-ay living snakes, grinding their heads between his teeth. During the war he conveyed secret information for the French army by swallowing a small box with a written paper inside it,- but he was at last detected by the Prussians and punished as a spy. The' welt' known brown pigment callii sepia 1» obtained fro* a ten armed octopus found principally to the Mediterranean and more especially, at the bead of the Adriatic sea, where it is caught,, by the natives for food; The sepia is contained in a bag and la really the black fluid of. which we have all read as being discharged by the creature to cover its-escape. Some natnra^sta say that the fluid Is brows* ish, # c h becomes more credible when we know that this is the source of sepia.; / The pigment is really a powder which dissolves in water; its strength may be estimated by the fact that it will color 1,000 times its own bulk. When the octopus has been killed, the sack or ^ 1 . . 1 , 1 1 ^ , . Jbm >*»*. s e a * •wbag is removed and dried to prevent putrefaction. The sepia is treated with ammonia or caustic soda, washed and dried. It is one of the most durable of paints, except when fully exposed to the fierce rays of the sun, and an even surface can be obtained with it more easily than with most paints. Sepia has been obtained from a fossil cuttlefish thousands of years old and found to be quite good for paint. T h e P o w e r o f S u p e r s t i t i o n .

"What aro you afraid of about i t - bleeding to death?" "No, no; it's Just bad luck to have a mole taken off.

"I don't know why it,is bad luck, but my black mammy used to say, 'Chile, don't yo' nebber let 'em try to take dat mole off'n your nose." " 'What'll happen, Aunt Sarah, If I do?' I used to ask her.

But death from evens the moat painful mortal diseases is, usually preceded by a period of cessation from Buffering and partial or complete insensibility resembling falling asleep or the pleasant gradual unconsciousness caused by an ansesthetic. The common phrase "death agony'' is not warranted by what occurs in natural death, which is a complete relief from all pain. When death is owing to heart failure or syncope, it is sudden and painless—perhaps pleasant. Death by hanging, there is reason to believe, is attended by a voluptuous spasm. Death by decapitation or electricity is paly a'momentary shock, hardly felt. Death by porsontag varies in painful ness according to the poison employed. Opium and other narcotics probably give a painless, perhaps a pleasant, dreamful death. Hemlock, as we know from the account of the death of Socrates, causes gradual insensibility from below upward. On the other hand, arsenic, strychnine, carbolic and mineral acids, corrosive sublimate, tartar emetic and other metallic poisons inflict slow and torturing death. Prussic acid and cyanide of potassium cause quick and painful death.—Humanitarian. W i l l i n g t o O b l i g e . The young man was from town and was spending a Sunday in the suburbs.

"Perhaps you have a. spider or a Brewster buggy, or on second thought I might prefer a rubber tired hansom. You can accommodate me?" "Yes; all kinds cheerfully furnished." "Can you give me a lash whip?" "Yes; with a fancy tassel." "Oh, well, what kind of a horse can you turn out—a short tailed one?" "I think so," came gently from the wearied proprietor; then in stentorian tones to his man: "Jake, can you give this gentleman a short tailed horse?

It shakes up the diaphragm, sets the pulses beating to a lively measure, stimulates the blood corpuscles, enlivens the brain and sometimes produces dislocation of the Jaw when Indulged in too heartily by a man with a large mouth. Tsed with discretion, laughter is as inspiring as a sea breeze, as refreshing as an August shower. Its moral effect is beyond computation. It has killed more ridiculous superstitions by its rollicking roars of unbelief than any other agency. What can be more derisive than a laugh? The man who laughs never kills himself.

Wisdom i s not the same as understanding; nor is it talent, or capacity, ability, sagacity, sense, or prudence; neither will all these together make it up. It i s that exercise of the reason into which the heart enters—a structure of the understanding rising out oi the moral and spiritual nature. It la for this cause that a high order of wisdom —tnat is, a nighTIy Intellectual wisdom —is still more rare than a high order of genius. When they reach the very highest order they are one; for each includes the others, and intellectual greatness is matched with moral strength. In n Serious Position. Rosa P.

The hotel proprietor, upon her non-appearance for breakf.isT^broke into her room and found the Infant in a satchel. Investigation by the coroner's jury showed that it had been born alive and that the child had bled to death. The jury'e verdict held that the woman was responsible for its death. No wan-ant has been issued for her as yet, but she is kept under surveillance. Rosa P. Smith is a prominent-young woman of Howell, a graduate of the high school, active in church circles, and has been In the employ of the Livingston Republican for seveu years. A prominent young man of the village is said to be the father of her child. According to advices from Kiel, Germany, the new high school there for the teaching of shipbuilding and construction of machinery will be opened in 1903. The school will be wholly in the hands of the state, but the cost will only in part be borne by the state, the town of Kiel contributing £3.000. There will be one department for the learning of shipbuilding, each course lasting one year, and another department for machinery, the course of instruction being divided into four quarters of the year, classes being held in the evenings and on Sundays for shipwrights, locksmiths and smiths, The Krupp German!a wharf has al« ready promised as much a s £250 annually for the next ten years towards the expense.

A Jackson jury, in the case of Frank R.. Blery, returned a verdict of not guilty. Biery w a s remarried last spring and, a s it was a second marriage" of both parties, the event occasioned excitement in the quiet village of Minard. On the night following the wedding a crowd of neighbors originated an old-fashioned charivari party, with the usual accompaniments of horseplay and unearthly racket. Biery ordered them to desist, and upon their failure to do so. opened a promiscuous fire with a horse-pistol. Archie Whltehouse, a cbarivarist, was struck and killed by one of the bullets *ired. No attempt was made to disprove the facts of the shooting. In many of the western and midland counties of England t h e nineteenth century closed with the most terrible J o o d s within living memory. Happily few lives were lost, but hundreds ol folk—mostly poor—were washed out oi hearth and home. Farmers, small and great, lost cattle, sheep and poultry, and immense damage was done to all kinds of property. One comic incident was remarked at Alcester in Worcestershire. When the water fell the rector took his walks abroad t o see what loss b e had suffered. As h e passed through a n orchard h e was greeted with t h e piercing squeals of a perplexed pig, which had got mixed up In the boughs of a damson tree. Probably it had been borne into the branches by the rising flood. When the waters went down it was left high, and possibly dry, but terrified out of its wits. Less than one hundred dollars, spent by the Improvement League of Montclair, New Jersey, has done more t o cleanse and beautify the place, gays the town council, than the thousands of dollars the town has expended in conventional ways. The league began by offering prizes for clean and orderly back yards and alleys, and wen* on t o give prizes for the best vine-covered fence, the finest vegetable plot and the most beautiful flowering plant. Then it organized the children to pick up waste paper from the streets, keep the school yards neat, and "tidy up'r the vacant lots. In six months Montclalr became a noticeably attractive place, and a wholesome one, too, for the death rate had perceptibly lessened.

Valuable Hor»e« Killed. A peculiar and serioiw accident occurred on the Pere Marquette Railroad at Plymouth Friday morning. A freight train was backing to the siding just west of the station, when one of the ears suddenly tipped over. The ear contained a lot of valuable race horses and a pnrty consisting of two women, two girls and eight men and boys. The women and girls escaped without injury, but the men and boys received severe cuts and bruises. The horses did not fare so well. T w o of them are dead, two ofhers cannot live, and the remainder are twidly cut up. One of the horses killed is said to have been worth $10,000.

J l u anticipation of the arrival of the murderer at Auburn, a crowd numbering nearly 1,500 people surrounded the prison Thursday n i g h t At the time of the prisoner's arrival, however, shortly before 3 o'clock, only about 300 men and boys remained. Pale and trembling, Czolgosa w a s dragged from t h e train by- the brawny guards. He was handcuffed between two deputies. Twenty local policemen attempted to keep back the crowd which surged about the assassin, clamoring for his life. The onslaught was s o sudden *thut the police scarcely had time to draw their clubs and revolvers. The prison gates swung open and the assassin was pushed! through, but not before some of the crowd bad rained blows on the officers and their prisoner. The distance between the gate and prison steps was quickly covered. Aa the assassin reached the steps his legs gave way, aud, moaning and shrieking. he was drugged Into t h e office aud placed upon a settee, the most miserable wretch In the world. Scant ceremony was accorded him. The handcuffs were quickly removed and he w a s dragged into Warden rf Mead's office. H e was in a state of absolute collapse. Dr. John Gauln, the prison physician, was summoned. He arrived in ft few minutes and gave the < assassin a drink of brandy. This revived him s o m e w h a f and two keepers told him to stand up. He tried to rise, but fell to the floor. He w a s up In a moment, however/ and t w o keepers stripped him of his clothing, replacing It with a suit of prison stripes. Five keepers then hustled him t o his cell, where he will remain until marched to the death chair. Upon reaching his cell, the prisoner partially recovered "fro~nr~hiH fright and by morning had — *.<, assumed h i s manner of stolid indifference. On his w a y from Buffalo to Auburn, Caolgosz is said to have expressed regrot for his deed. He still maintained, however, that he was alone .In the plot To B e Electrocuted Oct. 28. Leon F. Czolgosz was brought Into court Thursday afternoon for sentence. In answering the formal questions the assassin stated that h e was ..born in Detroit. His replies were s o low that they were scarcely audible. "Have you any legal excuse why sentence should not be pronounced against you?" Czolgosz could not or pretended he could not hear the question put by the clerk. It was repeated to him twice, and then he said something in an inaudible tone. The judge Intervened and explained what was meant by the question. • "First, you may claim you are insane. The next is have you good cause to offer against sentence being pronounced against you?" The judge also stated legal reasons the prisoner might have against sen-v tence being pronounced. "I have nothing to say about that,*' was the reply. Justice Titus then asked that the prisoner be allowed to say something In exculpation of his crime. The prisoner began to speak. H i s ,voice was so low that he could scarcely be heard. Judge Titus w a s obliged to repeat it sentence by sentence, so that the court might hear. "I have nothing to say,'* whispered Czolgosz. According to the law of this state, Oct. 28 i s the earliest date that could be fixed for the execution of Czolgosz. Accordingly Judge White sentenced Czolgosz to lie electrocuted during the week beginning October 29, 1901.

"And," added Ezabel, "if you eould know him better you would nnd your impressions strengthened. But-he will not be here long. As soon as he recovers from his wound he will leave us,»* "If I am not mistaken," ventured our heroine, "Julian is at home in this place." "Most certainly he is, my daughter. From his earliest childhood he knew no other home but this." "And he was on bis way hither when he overtook me in the hands of the Arabs " "Yes." "And will my presence cause him to leave you?*' "I think not, lady. But you will give yourself no uneasiness on that account If Julian feels that he had better be away from you, be will go for his- own sake. And, remember—the truly noble soul finds joy in the generous sacrifices which it may be called upon to make. I hear Ben Hadad's voice. He is calling me." She arose and left the chamber; and when she returned sne was followed by Ben Hadad. Now that Ulin saw the hermit by the light of the day she was awe-struck by his venerable appearance. All that could be noble and honorable and lovable in old age xed in him; and as he and t!ft white brow offered a strange contract to the waving mases of golden hair. The maiden's smile faded away when she met the earnest gas* that was fixed upon her, and her hand trebled before she withdrew i t He spoke to her a few words of cheer, expressed his gratitude' that she. had found a place- of safety; and hoped that the future might have no more clouds for her. , bent bis gaze upon her and extended his hand in welcome, she felt her heart go to him with all its trust and confidence. "My child,'" he said in tones of tenderest solicitude, "Ezabel has told me your story and I have come to bid you an affectionate welcome to my cave. Rest here- and feel that you are at home. Your mother paid me for this long ago. Come—follow me to where the air is fresher, and where the sunbeams can greet you." The maiden thanked Ben Hadad as well as Bhe was able and then rose to follow him. He led her to the main cave, where she found Hobaddan and the slaves. "This is my home," said the old man, as he led the maiden to a seat; "and here have I lived more years than go to fill up the allotted age of man. All these trees and shrubs I have trained up from the tender sprout, and these vines I have taught to clothe the gray old recks. And I.have been most fortunate in my life. I have been able to protect many who needed protection and my days have been lengthened out to protect more." Ulin was touched by the deep pathos of the hermit's words, and for a whole hour she sat and listened to his conversation. At the end of that time he led her back to the cave where Ortok, the black slave, had prepared dinner. -She did not feel hungry, but she sat down with Ben Hadad and Hobadden and Ezabel—she and Albla—and partook with them. Thus passed three days; and Ulin had become so used to the place that it already seemed like home. She had learned to love the hermit; and she had learned to love Ezabel; and she had learned to respect and esteem the stout-hearted Hobaddan and to converse with him freely. Once she asked the lieutenant what had become of Julian's band. Would they not be seeking him? And he explained to her that he had communicated with them—that they knew of their chieftain's safety and had gone away into the mountains of Lebanon, where comfortable abiding places for them were plenty. When UHn retired to her own apartment she sat by herself, with her head bowed upon her hands, taking no notice of her serving-maid. At an early hour she retired; but it was a long time ere she slept; and when she did sleep she was troubled with strange dreams. She dreamed of the unfortunate Helena, and awoke with a cry of pain. And then she dreamed a more pleasant dream—a dream of something that had haunted her waking thoughts —a dream of the Scourge and Damascus. "Or my mistress," cried Albla, when she and Ulin were alone, "how noble a man he is!" "Who?" asked the princess, Btarting out from a deep reverie. "Julian^ I mean," returned the maid, quickly and with enthusiasm. "Does he not look handsomer than ever?" Ulin bowed her head and made no reply. "Is he -not beautiful to gaze upon?" pursued Albia, without seeming to notice her lady's abstracted mood. "Hush, Albia, say no more now. I am busy with my own thoughts." "Pardon, sweet mistress. I meant no wrong. I thought—we owed him so much—and he has suffered in our behalf—that you might—" "Albla, say no more. I know you meant well. You mistake me if you think I am not grateful. There—say no more. I love you, and would not hurt your feelings. Go out into the grove and walk awhile." Ulin bowed her head again as she spoke, with her,hand upon her brow— upon her brow for a moment—and then pressed upon her bosonf. And thuB Albia left her. When the freed girl reached -the grove in front of the cave she found Julian and Osmir in close conversation and before they noticed her she had heard enough to excite her curiosity; and with a freedom that was natural to her, she asked them what had happened. "Osmir thinks," said Julian, with a smile, "that one of the Arab robbers has followed us and tracked us to this place; but I laugh at him." "I may be mistaken," rejoined the other,**"but still I think I am right. I have seen the fellow twice; once by *, At noon Julian did not appear whet the resT'iW'thefir ttftttffr.

"Yes; so he told me only an hour since," , "When will he go?'' "Early jra the morning:" "But he will shortly return?" "I fear not. I asked him that and he only shook his head." "Does he give any reason for his going away?" "None that you need to knew, my child. In fact, he gives me no reason directly. I am left to draw my conclusions from accidental remarks." 9 iMTTgiiiSi CHAPTER XVni. Something More Than a Dream. On the following morning, when Ulin entered the main cave, Julian was there to greet her. She extended her hand to him and smiled as she spoke. The youthful chieftain waa somewhat pale, hut his large, lustrous exes burned with a deeped intensity the river atthe entrance of the wood, and once further away. It was one of the rascals wao escaped us." "And if it is the Arab, what can he want?" asked Albia. "If it be one of those fellowa," returned Julian, "he may wish to join our ranks." "Oh," added Osmir, "he may hope to steal something." "Very likely," assented the chieftain. "However," he concluded, after a brief pause, "we may as well keep a sharp lookout." "Sellm and I are on the watch," said Osmir; "and if we catch the rascal, we'll secure him." Albia fancied that Julian had t h o u g h t s Which >>*> waa nnt w i l l i n g to expresa in her presence, but she did not mean to fret herself; and before she rejoined her mistress she had almost forgotten the circumstances. At noon, and again in the evening, did Ulin meet Julian; but they did not converse freely together. She could not meet the gaze of those lustrous eyes without tremb.ing, and she sought to avoid that which so much moved her. If he had approached her and spoken freely with her on some subject of general interest she would have joined him rendily; but he did not do so. Morning came again, and again the maiden met the man who had saved her from the Arabs. This time he greeted her in few words, and soon turned away to speak with Hobaddan. He did not seem well. He looked paler than on the day before, and there was an expression of pain about the mouth and eyes. Ulin was unoasy. Perhaps his wound was giving him new trouble. \As soon as the morulng's meal had been eaten, she nought Ezabel and asked her If Julian w:is suffering from his wound. "No," replied the old woman. "I do not think it is his wound. I bave noticed his appearance and have asked him what it meant; but he puts me off with a smile and a blessing and tries to assure me that all is well I do not like to see him suffer. He is like a child to me and I love him tenderly. Ah, the world -^httle knows what a noole, generous soul dwells within that manly form." "If I thought he was suffering from my account" said Ulin, VI should be most unhappy." , "How on your account?" said Ezabel. quickly. "I mean in consequence of the wound he received while flghtns; for my deliverance." "I hardly thtnk it is that. Something beside the wound troubles him. It may be that the short captivity in Damascus worries him. He may have heard something there that gives him unpleasant thought" When Ulin retired to her chamber she was in a frame of mind not easily analyzed. She spoke to Albia concerning the chieftain'8 unexpected departure and the girl expressed the opinion that he felt himself to be ia the way. "What do you mean by that?" asked Ulin. "Well," replied Albia, "I think Julian feels that there are enough dwellers in the hermit's cave without him. I may be mistaken; but his manner, for a day or two past, has seemed to indicate that he was not perfectly at ease here," The princess asked no more questions, but busied herself with her own thoughts. As the sun was sinking from its daily course, Ulin wandered out into the grove alone, and as she approached the spot where she sometimes sat with the hermit, she saw Julian, seated upon a bench beneath an orange tree. At first she thought of turning back, and retracing her steps; but an impulse which was no result of her will, hut rather an instinctive emotion, as \ though some secret force, led her on; and almost before she was aware of it she came so near that the youth heard her stop and looked up. He started when he saw her and a flash of joy, like a quick passage of sunlight, wa3 upon his face. In a moment, however, the look Was gone, and a shade of sadness succeeded. The maiden could not now have withdrawn even had she been so disposed in the first place. Following the strong impulse, Bhe aavanced to the shadow of the orange tree and'placed her hand upon Julian's shoulder; and it thrilled the youth like an electric shock. lAne*%n>» CmmUt 09«a**V Despite the protest ef^hteonJy Ilvinfl[ cWJd, Jthe cottteet of Abraham Ltoeoln was opened Thursday in the presence of a small assemblage* headed by state officers in their capacity of trustees, and was then reseated and eonsigned to what ta.intended to be its last resting place in a bed of iron and mortar below the shaft of the Springfield, 111., national monument Fourteen years ago, the last previous time when the body was exposed to mortal gasse, the face of the first martyred president was black. It was white Thursday. ^Tlie transformation was so unexpected and the fumes so overpowering that the casket was quickly shut. All of those present, sixteen in number, were pledged to secrecy, but it is known that the proposition to open the casket was vigorously opposed by several, and now the act is denounced as sacrilegious and due only to a de* sire to satisfy morbid curiosity. Col. Robert T. Lincoln was not present, or his protest would probably have been respected. C o l o m b i a W i n * F l r « t R a c e . In the closest and most soul stirring race ever sailed for the old America's cup, the white flyer Columbia beat the British challenger over a windward and leeward course of 30 nautical miles by the narrow margin of 39 seconds.

As a spectacle the contest was superb. From the time the two sky-scraping racers croFtf- *»d the starting line until they fled across the finish line four and a half hours later the result was in doubt, and the excitement aboard the excuraion fleet increased until the men became frenzied and women almost hysterical. ^T" The miners' strike t t -Madlsonvili% Ky., ha* beeoiae.scriom etat* troop* are ordered out, and bloodshed may re/- suit The union camp) Is situated in sight of the mines and from territory / adjoining this camp there baa been directed a desultory, but harassing rffl* Are at the deputies guarding the Beinecke property Almost daily.

"Kind sir," she said, scarcely able to speak above a whisper wlien she commenced, "Ezabel tells me you are going away." "Yes, lady," Julian replied, rising as he spoke; "I have so determined." "And you go soon?" "In the morning." "This is sudden, sir." "No, lady; no more so than my movements are apt to be." CHAPTER XIX. Ulin and Julian. Ulin hesitated and trembled, and finally sat down upon the bench from which the chieftain had arisen. In a few moments she had recovered herself so that she could speak without faltering. "Good sir, I have one question to ask you." She went on hurriedly, as though the old impulse still led her; "You had not planned to leave the cave so soon?" "I had planned nothing about it, iady." "But—if I had not been here, with my servant, you would have remained longer?" "Lady, do not ask me such questions." "I must ask them, sir, for I want to know. If I thought that my presence here had caused you to leave your old home, I should be most unhappy. When I came here I did not know how near and dear this place was to you. If one of us must go, let me find some other resting place." Julian started and trembled like an aspen. A moment it was so, and then he turned upon the maiden a look so earnest and so deep and so full of tumultuous feeling, that she shook beneath i t "Lady," he said, speaking almost in a whisper, "you shall know the secret which I had purposed never to reveal to mortal being. The words are forced from me. Let me speak them now; and then let them be forgotten. When I heard that the king of Damascus had shut up a fair maiden within the Palace of Lycanlus, and that he meant to make that maiden his wife, I felt my heart grow sick within me and I resolved, if the fair one was held against her will, that I would set her -free. I led my brave men to the palace and overcame the guard which the king had set Heaven was opened, but in the blessed realm I was offered no abiding place. I saw the loved spirit cf light within the cave which had been the home of my childhood; but my love I dared not speak. How could I. the enemy of Damascus, and the branded robber, tell my love to the daughter of the king's prime mlnlater. Lady, I dare not trouble yon more." (To be continued.)

Only two days after the funeral services for the president had been held at Canton, and while the whole nation was in mounting, there was a dar.ee at Fort Sheridan. It was the regular weekly dance at the fort, and Col. Vau llJrne permitted it. apparently without any feeling of its- Impropriety. Army officials were shocked at'the disrespect, not ouly of the soldiers who danced while their tlag was'at half-staff, but still more at the attitude of the officer who permitted it.

In other words, If tbe horse succeeds in rolling over at the first try, well and good—that satisfies him; but If tbe first attempt Is a failure, the second one always Is. Then he either rolls -quite over at the third or gives It up. 'He never makes a fourth. If horses are rolling on sloping ground, tbey usually roll up hill.

Wood be fore the state board of equalization had the effect of changing our stats taxes three-tenths per cent. This county has formerly been paying one and three-tenths per cent of the entire state taxes and now we only pay one per cent. This is certainly a victory for Mr. Wood and the county.

One of the paradoxes of waste Is that the persons most addicted to it are not men and women of independent means who can support themselves In spite of their extravagant expenditure, but tbe poorer classes. There is hardly an ablebodied laborer who might not become financially Independent If he would but carefully husband his receipts and guard against the little leaks of needless expense. But unfortunately this is the one thing which tbe workingman finds it the hardest to do. There are a hundred laborers who are willing to work hard to every half dozen who are willing properly to husband their earnings. Instead of hoarding a small percentage of their, receipts so as to provide against sickness or want of employment they eat and drink up their earnings as they go, and thus In the first financial crash, when mills and factories, "shut down" and capitalists lock up their cash instead of using it In great enterprises, they are ruined. Men who thus live "from hand to mouth." never keeping more than a day's march ahead of actual want, are little better off than slaves.—Success. Why the Boy W u Sure.

"The cry- *el cannot equal i t - Many of the nreeJeoa stoaes of the Bible have come to BruasBt recognition. But for the press** I take up the leas valuable crystal. JOB, ia my text, compares savins; wisdom with a specimen of topas. An. fafldel chemist or mineralogist would pronounce the latter worth more than las former,, but Job makes an intelligent compari-! •cm, looks at religion and t i e * looks «t the crystal and araavcnacea tho former as of far superior value to the ; latter, exclaiming, in the words of my text, "The crystal cannot e*oal it." New, it is not a part of say sermonic design to depreciate the crystal, whether it be found im Cornish mine or Harz mountain or Msmseoth cave or tinkling among the pendants of the -chandeliers of a palace. The crystal 4a the star of the mowatata; it is the queen of the cave; it ia the eardrop of the hills; it finds its heaves ia the diamond. Among all the pages* of natural history there ia ao page more interesting to me than the pass crystallography. But I waat to show you • that Job was right when, taking religion in one hand and the crystal in -the others, he declared that the former is of far more value aad beauty than the latter, receaameadteg It to all people and to all the acta* declaring "The crystal cannot equal ft** God's I m m t e M * Earn*.

Whea the eye salve cures par o!indnees, theft WJ find that religion la transparent Harmony and Symmetry, tlglon is superior to the cryatai fa-ex—I—Beautiful In its symmetry. Win • actness. That shapelesa flaass of crystal against which you accidentally dashed your foot ia laid oat with more exactness than any earthly city There are s x styles of crystal 1 nation and all of them divinely ordained. Bverv crystal haa laatheaaatteal precision. God'sgeometryreaches tnrougb It and it is a square, or U is a rectangle, or it is a rhomboid, or in some way it has a mathematical figure. Now, religion beats that in the simple fact that spiritual accuracy ia more baautiful than material accuracy. God's attributes are exact God's Iaw3 exact, •God's decrees exact, God's management •of the world exact. Never counting wrong, though he counts the grass blades and the stars aad the sands and the cycles. His providenc«3 never dealing with us perpendicularly when those provinces aught to he oblique, nor laterally when they onght to be vertical. Everything ia oar life arranged without any posBftHtty of mistake. Each'life a six-hearted prism. Bern at the right time; dying at the xfgfct time. There are n» "happen ao's" in our theology. If I thought this was a slipshod narrfrae; I would tie in despair. God is not an anarchist. Law, order, symmetry, precision, a perfect square, a perfect rectangle, a perfect rhomboid, a perfect circle. The edge of God's robe of government never frays out There are no loose screws in the world's machinery. It did not just happen that Napoleon was attacked with indigeation at Borodino ao that he became incompetent for the day. It did not Just happen that John Thomas, the missionary, ox a heathen island, waiting for an outfit and orders for another missionary tear, received that outfit and those orde.a in a box that floated ashore, while the ship and .the crew that carried the box were 'never heard of. I believe In a particular providence. I betters God's geometry may be seen la att onr lite more beautifully than In- crystallography. Job was. right "The crystal cannot equal it." Mora Trmm***nm4 Tama Ctyatal. Again I remark that religion is superior to the crystal ha taasparency. We know not when or by whom glass waa first discovered.

Now yon find God is not trying to put you down. Now you understand why you . lost that child and why you lost yaw property. It waa to piepare you for eternal treasures. • And why sicUam came, it being the precursor of immortal juvenescence. And now you understand why they lied about you and tried to drive you hither and thither. It was to put you in the glorious company of such a man as Igiatius, who, when he went out to be destroyed by the lions, said, "I am the wheat, and the teeth of the wild beasts must first grind me before I can becoxnd pure bread for Jesus Chr s:." Or the company of such m^n as "that ancient Christian martyr" who, when standing in the midst of the amphitheater waiting for the lions to come out of their cave and destroy him and the people la the gallerisa jeiring and shouting, "The liont!" replied, ' ^st them come on!" and then, stooping down toward the cave, "where the wild* basts ware roaring to get out, again cried, "Let them come on!" Ah, yes, it is persecution to put you ;n glorious company, and while there are many things' you will have to postpone to the future world for explanation I tell you that it Is the whole tendency of your religion to unravel and explain and Interpret and Illuminated and Iradiate. Job was right It is a gorious trasparency. "Tho crystal cannot equal it." ,\ !"

These souls are ajl crystaUlaationa of present him as having love like a great protuberance on one side of his nature, but makes that love in harmony with his justice—a love that will accept all those who come to him, and a justice that will by no means clear the guilty. Beautiful religion in the sentiment it Implants! Beautiful religion In the hope it kindles! Beautiful religion in thp fact that it proposes to garland and entnrone and emparadise an immortal spirit. Solomon says it is a lily. Paul says it i3 a crown. The Apocalypse says it is a fountain kissed by the sun. Ezekiel says it is a follaged cedar. Christ says it is a bridegroom come to fetch home a bride. While Job in the text takes up a whole vase of precious stones—the topax and the sapphire and the chrysoprasus— he holds o\*t of this beautiful vase Just one crystal and holds it up until it gleams in tho warm light of the eastern sky, and he exclaims, "The crystal cannot equal it." Oh, it is not a stale religion; it is not a stupid religion; it is not a toothless hag. as some seem to have represented it; it is not a Meg Merrilies with shriveled arm come to scare the world; it is the fairest daughter of God, heiress of all his wealth; her cheek tne morning sky. her voice the music of the south wind, her step the dance of the sea. Come and woo her. The Spirit and the Bride say come, and whosoever will, let him come. Do you agree with Solomon and say it is, a lily? Then pluck it and wear it over your heart. Do you agree with Paul and say it is a crown? Then let this hour be your coronation. Do you agree with the Apocalypse and say it is a springing fountain? Then come and slake the thirst of your soul. Do you believe with Ezekiel and say it is a follaged cedar? Then come under its shadow. Do you believe with Christ and _say it is a bridegroom come to fetch homo a bride? Then strike hands with your Lord and King while I pronounce you everlastingly one. Or if you think with Job that it 1B a jewel, then put it on vour hand like a ring, on your neck like a bead, on your forehead like a star, while looking into the mirror of God's word you acknowledge, "The crystal cannot equal it." 8npotior to Crystal. Again, religion is supuerior to the crystal in its transformations. The diamond is only a crystallization. Carbonate of lime rises till it becomes calcite or aragonite. Red oxide of copper crystallizes into cubes and octahedrons. Those crystals which adorn our persons and our homes and our museums have only been resurrected from forms that were far from lustrous. Scientists for ages have been examining these wondenul transformations. But I tell you in the gospel of tho Son of God there is a more wonderful transformation.

Now, I have no lHting for those people who are always enlarging in Christian meetings about their early disiipatioiL Do not go into the particulars, my brothers. Simply say you were sick, but make no display of your ulcers. The chief stock In trade of some ministers and Christian workera seem to be their early crimes and dissipations. The number of pockets you picked and the number of chickens you stole make very poor prayer meeting rhetoric. Besides that, it discourages other Christian people who never got drunk or stole anything. But it is pleasant to know that those who were farthest down have been brought highest up.

When that light falls upon the soul, then you will see the crystals. What a magnificent setting for these jewels of eternity! I sometimes hear people representing heaven in a way that is far from attractive to me. It seems almost a vulgar heaven as they represent it, with great blotches of color and bands of music making a deafening racket.

In another place he says, "I saw a pure river from under the throne, clear as crystal." In another place he says, "Before the throne there was a sea of glass clear as crystal." Three crystals! John says crystal atmosphere. That means health. Balm of the eternal June. What weather after the world's east wind! No rack of stormclouds. One breath of that air will cure the worst tubercle. Crystal light on all the leaves, crystal light shimmering on the topaz of the temples. Crystal light tossing in the plumes of the equestriaus of heaven on white horses. But "the crystal cannot equal it." John says crystal river. That means joy. Deep and ever rolling. Not one drop of the Potomac or the Hudson or the Rhine to soil It. No one tear of human sorrow to imbitter it. Crystal, the rain out of which it was made. Crystal, the bed over which it shall roll and ripple. Crystal, its infinite surface. But "the crystal cannot equal it." John oayo crystal sea. That means multitudinousiy vast. Vast in rapture. Rapture vast as the sea, deep as the sea, strong as the sea, ever changing as the sea.

But "the crystal cannot equal it." Open the Door to ChrUt. "Oh," says some one, "it is just the doctrine I want. God is to do everything, and I am to do nothing." My brother, it is not the doctrine you want. The coal makes no resistance. It hears the resurrection voice in the mountain and it comes to crystallization; but your heart resists. The trouble with you, my brother, is the coal wants to stay coal. I do not ask you to throw open the door and let Christ in. I only ask that you stop bolting it and barring it. My friends, we will have to get rid of our sins. I will have to get rid of my sins, and you win have to get rid of your sins. What will we do with our sins among the three crystals? The crystal atmosphere would display our pollution. The crystal river would be befouled with our touch. Transformation must take place now or no transformation at all. Give sin full chance in your heart and the transformation will be downward.instead of upward. Instead of crystal it will be a cinder. What Secretary Boot Said. "Senator, you seem to forget thai war itself is a hard, a dreadful thing; yet our old men clamor for it and our young men rush into it as if it were a holiday amusement The executive does not declare war.

By tho year. ^ 0 the capital scf "Son of Heaven." The Emperor had,been reduced to aT83$,O0O,G&O and of Japan has a most curious title, bo- the corresponding /annual charge to ins styled the Mikado, or "Honorable Gate/' Thebaw of Bur man, the wicked old fehow~ who was overthrown by the British, used modestly to call himself "His Most Glorious, Excellent Majesty; Lord of the Ishaddan; King of Elephants; Master of Many White Elephants; Lord of the Mines of Gold, Silver, Rubies, Amber and the Noble Serpentine; * Sovereign of the Empire of Thunaparantha and Tampadipa and other Great Empires and Countries, and of the Umbrella Wearing Chiefs; Arbiter of Life, the Great Righteousness, the Sun-Descended Monarch, King of Kings, and Possessor Of Boundless Dominions and Supreme Wisdom." For obvious reasons the modest Thebaw had no visiting cards. The Amir of Afghanistan calls himself "The Light of Union and Religion." The Emperor of Austria is "His Apostolic Majesty"; the King of Spain, "Hi* Most Catholic Majesty," and the Bourbon kings of France were "Most Christian Majesties"—at least in title, thtough they were sometimes quite the other way in reality. But King Edit comes to religious titles, for is not that pious man "Defender of the Faith"? The King of Portugal is also possessed of a religious title, being "His Very Faithful Majesty." King Oscar of Sweden calls himself "King of the Goths and the Wends," and the German "War Lord" calls himself "Duke of the Wends." The King of Denmark, like his royal cousin of Sweden, calls himself "King of the Goths and the Wends." This i3 very confusing to an amateur in the king business and their majesties of Denmark and Sweden ought to toes up to see who keeps the title. It must make the Sultan of Turkey smile to see how many monarchs, reigning and dethroned, pall themselves "King of Jerusalem." This title is borne by the King of Spain and the Emperor of Austria, by the Bourbon claimant of the throne of "Naples and the two Sicilies," as well as by Don Carlos, the claimant of the Spanish throne. The Sultan calls himself "Servant of Jerusalem," which is more modest, and as he has the city the other fellows can quarrel over who IS "king" thereof. The King of Portugal has a set of titles for "private circulation," as it were, in which he especially delights, calling himself, when he feels particularly "cocky," "King of the African Sea, Lord of Guinea and of the navigation and commerce ot Ethopia, Arabia, Persia and India." Little King Alphonso of Spain, not to be outdone by his neighbor, calls himself "King of the East and West Indies, of India and the Ocean Continents." The President of the United States came very near having a title. When they were fixing up the Constitution it waB proposed to insert the clause, "The President shall be called His Excellency." Benjamin Franklin offered an. amendment which read, "And the Vice President shall be called His Most Superfluous Highness." Jn the latter which followed the title clause was lost. PlS In Trees Branch**. In many of the western and midland counties of England the nineteenth century closed with the most terrible floods within living memory. Happily few lives were lost but hundreds of folk—mostly poor—were washed out of hearth and home. Fanners, small and great lost cattle, sheep and poultry, and immense damage was done to all kinds of property. One comic Incident was remarked at Alcester, ia Worcestershire. When the water fell the rector took his walks abroad to see what loss he had suffered. As he passed through an orchard he was greeted with the piercing squeals of a perplexed pig, which had got mixed up in the boughs of a damson tree. Probably it had been borne into the branches by the rising flood. When the waters went down It waa left high, and possibly dry, but terrified out of its wlta.

The son sank to its evening rest, and the shades of twilight deepened brer the' fiver and over the grove. The stars came out, one by one, in their celestial stations, and anon the silver moon, lifting its face above the hills of Hobah, cast its soft light into the valeT 8till the lovers sat beneath the orange tree; and there they might have sat late into the night, had not Osmir come to interrupt them. What'did the guard want at that hour and In that place. He sought his master. "Julian arose and went to him *nd they whispered hurriedly together; and then Ulin was sure that she heard the Arabs mentioned. ' "Ulin," said the chieftain, coming back and faking her hand, "you might gaudth_JOft_to_^e cave. I am called in another direction.*' "What, is it? Yon tremble. Ah, Julian—there is danger." "No, no, sweet love; harbor not that fear. I go to ward off danger. 0, I have something more than life to care for now." At this point Selim came running up, all oat of breath; 'but~betOT8 ~he could «$eak his master stopped him. "I understand, good 3elim. Osmir has told me—" "But—my master—" "1M a , moment. Wait till I come back." And thus speaking Julian led the maiden to the cave. "Excuse me now," he said, raising her hand to his lips. "I will be back shortly. You will not fear?" «? CHAPTER XX. A Ktng's Story. The first person whom Ulin met after entering the cave was Ezabel, who stood by a table upon which a lamp was burning. "My dear child, I was just coming in search of you. We were anxious. What—have you. been in tears? Ulin, what is it? What has happened?" The maiden, in memory of the great event of the evening, forgot the cause of fear that had been with her. It was a secret she could not keep—a secret she had no wish to keep; and resting her head upon Bsabel's shoulder, she told tae story of her love. "Dearest Ulin," said the aged matron, kissing the maiden upon the brow, "he is worthy of the trust you have reposed in him!" At that moment Albla come in from the grove wnere she had been in search of her mistress; and very soon see, too, had heard the story. She gased into Ulln's face a moment, and then, with a tear glistening in her eye, she murmured: "I shall be very happy now, for henceforth I can serve and love you both!" As Albla spoke, and before any reply could be made, Julian came hurrying Into the cave. He was much excited and Ben Hadad saw a fear upon his lace such as had never been seen there before; ' "My son," spoke the hermit, "what means this? Your manner betokens danger." "And there is danger," cried the young chieftain, moving instinctively to Uhn's side. "I fear that I have been much to blame. I should have been warned by the words of Osmir and Bellm. Those two Arabs have evidently discovered onr.abjdjnt. place." "Well—end what then?- asaed Ben H a d a d , • • «'«•>> ^ >'•--" "I think tuey have brought a large force against us." "What—pf Arabs?

He kissed her upon the brow and bade Her be of good eomrags; aad then he said to the others, in anawtr to what had been rvfti J .

Wtf were not looking for such a thing, and so da not guard against, i t They knew that the maiden who bad been snatched from them was the daughter of the king's prime minister; and may they not have known that she was the king's affianced? At all events, It is not unreasonable to suppose that they may have anticipated some gain of reward by carrying intelligence to Aboul Cassem. if they have done this, then they must also have revealed the whereabout of the Scourge of Damascus." A low cry of pain from Ulin told how directly the fear had touched her; and again her lover sought to calm her. "We must leave this place," he said, "and seek shelter in the wood. You and I and Albia will go, and the guards will join us outside. I know where there is safety, so have no fear. Should the rascals come they will hot harm these old people; they will not dare to do it" Ulin had drawn a mantle about her shoulders, and Julian had turned to speak apart with Ben Hadad, when Qsmlr came rushing into the cave, with terror depicted most painfully upon his ebon features. "They are coming!" he cried. "They have sprung upon us from a hidden cover." Who. are coming?" "They are the king's soldiers, led by the captain, Benonl!" On the next instant the clash of +arms^was iteard_ai^lhe_entrance. "Back, back, sweet love," said Julian, gently pushing the maiden towards her chamber. "There may yet be hope." He grasped a sword as he spoke, and leaped toward the entrance; but he was too late. Already a score of armed meu^weTe~n[sh"tgg7tn7s: number or them bearing flaming torches in their hands. "Come, gcod Osmir," the chieftain cried, bracing himself for the work. "Capture for us is certain death. We can do no better than to sell our liveshero." One—two—three—four of the royal soldiers fell beneath the lightning-like strokes of Julian's trenchant blade; and in the same time Osmir had slain two; but it was net in the roll of fate that two were to overcome the force that came pouring into the cave. A flaming torch was hurled upon the chieftain, and while he staggered beneath the blinding 6troke he was drawn over backward* and his arms Quickly pinioned. The next movement was to , secure Ulin and Albla. after which Ben Hadad and Ezabel were taken. "Will you lay violent hands upon me T demanded the hermit. •*1 am ordered to bring you all before the king," replied Benonl; "all whom I might find in this cave. I mean to offer you no harm, so if you have complaint to make, save it for those who command me." While the captain was searching other apartments, to see if more prisoners were to be found, Julian felt a hand laid upon his shoulder, and on looking up he beheld Judah. "So, my noble chieftain, you are fast once more. The guard played us false. It seems, and I came near losing my head in consequence; but my royal master will pardon me when he sees yon again." CHAPTER XXI. Innocence of Helen. The king of Damascus had grown very old and very sour, within those last few days. Rage and chagrin had so shaken his frame that he seemed stricken with palsy; and his voice, from its bowlings and moanings, had t>ecome hoarse and cracked. But he -had promise of sweet revenge. His soldiers were upon the track of the fugitive*, and he believed they would bring them back. 0, hew he would gloat over the sufferings of his victims when they came within his power! 1 tell thee. Aboul Cassem," he said, addressing his minister, "the fair, frail Ulin must suffer for this. She is no longer your child; I shall not regard her as such. Aboul bowed hit need, and answered that he was content. Omar could not help noticing that his friend was in trouble, aad he took the liberty to ask' what had gone wrong. "Alas!", cried Horam, "everything goes wrong." And he told how hxJiad by St. *»•*•*• oo. Gentlemen: A short time ago I then, he tm now he had o*cs caofar* severely wienched my foot and emkle.

I have,' grown old since we las* met—very old. ft years I am. but the passing of two harvests ahead of you; but in trial and trouble I have left you far behind. The last time you were in Damascus the first great trial of my life came upon me. You remember it" "Of what do you speak;?" "Why—of my wife—of the first wife I ever had—of her whom I made my queen." "Do you mean the Lady Helena?" "To be sure I do. Mercy! have you forgotten?" "No," said Omar, shaking his head, "I remember Helena very well. She was the most bautlful woman I ever saw." "And as false as she was beautiful," added Horam. "Is it possible? r did not think she would come to that" "How!" exclaimed the king of Damascus. "Does your memory fail you?" "What mean you, Horam? My memory is good." "Then why do you wonder when I speak of the faithlessness of my first queen? Was it not yourself that gava to me the proofs of her infidelity? Did you not show to me that she had fallen?" ."You speak in riddles," said' the king of Aleppo. "I remember that we once suspected the young queen of bestowing her love upon a captain of your guard—I think hfs name was Jaruai^ — The injwy wa* •sry pnisdal, and toe ceaseqeemt inconvenience * (beta* obHgsd to keep to business), was very trying.

It r as your evidence that convicted both him and Helena." "And was the queen guilty after that?" —^-Guilty-after tha^^-r reper.ted ram, slowly and irresolutely. "What mean you? Do you imagine that I allowed her to live to commit more crime?" "In mercy's' name," cried Omar, "what do you mean by this speech? Do you remember Sanballad and Ben Huram?" "Yes," replied Horam. "They were two of my chamberlains, who accompanied you to Aleppo at the time of which we have spoken." "No," said Omar, "they did not quite go to Aleppo. I sent them back before I reached, my capital. They brought to you my message?" "I never saw them again after they went away with you," returned Horam. "Never—saw—them. Good spirits of morcy! Are you in earnest, Horam?" "Aye. If they started oh their return, they must have been robbed and killed, for I never saw them after they left in your retinue." The king of Aleppo clasped his hands In agony. "O, Horam! Horam!" he exclaimed, "what a fearful mistake was that! Bear with me—forgive me!" "What is it. Omar?" "Your beautiful queen was innocent!" "Innocent!" gasped Horam, starting to his feet and then sinking back again. "Yes, my brother," replied Omar, in trembling tones, "she was as innocent as in that natal hour when first she rested upon her mother's bosom. At Balbec we found a woman whom some of my officers brought before me supposing her to be the queen of Damascus. She was very beautiful, and so nearly did &he resemble the queen, Helens, thst even I was at first deceived. Her name was Jasmin, and she told me that she had just fled from Damascus and was waiting for her lover to join her. She said that Jabal was her lover, and that he was a captain of Horam's guard. The truth flashed upon me in a moment I conversed with her until I had gained her whole story; and then I knew that yonr queen was innocent .It waa all proved to me, as clear as the sun at noonday. At first I had a thought of returning myself, and hearing to you the joyful tidings-; but business urged me on, and I sent Sanballad and Ben Huram." "And they did not come!" uttered Horam, with hia hands working nervously in his bosom. "They did not come—and my queen died." "God forgive me!" ejaculated Omar. "I woukThave given my own life— Horam!"

The mine has been in veiy serious litigation siuce that time and i t was only this week that the heirs received $25,000 purchase price. This amount will hardly pay for the expense that they have been to in the litigation^afte? the attorneyB receive their share. The mine is a first class one—in fact one of the best in Montana. They are taking out 16,000 a day. : A Fiendish Attach: —- An attack was lately made on C. F Collier of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved fatal. It came through his kidneys.

The following order has been issued by the treasury department "There shall not be admitted on board vessels of the revenueoutter service any distilled spirits, except upon the order of the commanding officer, aud then for medical purposes only; and all such so ordered shall be placed in charge of the medical officer attached, or. if there be no medical officer, it will be placed in charge of an officer to be selected by the commanding officer, who shall be responsible to him for its use aud safekeeping." Professor W. S. Hall, of the Northwestern university medical schocl of Chicago, in an address before the Chicago academy of sciences on foods and foodstuffs, gave a very striking series of reasons f o m o t regarding alcohol -a» a true food, as Prof. Al water tried to argue. As to alcohol, Prof. Hull says: "More and *more required to produce a given effect on a person. Its habitual use is Will He Chancre the Line? There is a report comiurf from Dexter that the latest plan of the Boland people is to leave Ann Arbor in the cold aud run the electric railroad from Dexter via Whit more Lake to Salem aud Plymouth. This, it i9 claimed, would greatly shorten the distance between Jackson and Detroit. A prominet citizen of Dexter was in the city yesterday. When asked about this report he said that it was true there would be a lot o r kicking iu Dexter. The people there wanted to come to Ann Arbor. They did not care about reaching Chelsea or Wbitmore lake. He also said there was much objection made by Dexter citizens to the proposed grading of main street by Boland.

I s a poisonous secretion, which may be beneficial in certain phases of disease, but is never beneficial to the healthy body. Phyaidans advise healthy persons to avoid it altogether. Everyone advises people to avoid taking alcohol into the empty stomach. The young developing individual is always advised to abstain from alcohol. The use of alcohol, as with narcotics in general, i s followed by a reaction. The use of alcohol is followed by a decrease in the activity of the muscles and brain cells. As to food, on the contrary: The same quanity always produces the same effect. Its habitual use does not induce a desire for more in ever-increasing amounts. Sudden abstainene from food never deranges the central nervous system. All foods are oxidized slowly. All foods are stored in the body. All foods are products of constructive activity of protoplasms in the presence of abundant oxygen. A l l foods are wholesome aud benefical to the healthy body; and they may injure the body in certain phases of disease. Physicians never advise healthy persons to avoid food altogether. People are invariably advised to take*food into the empty stomach. T h e young are advised to take bountifully of food. The use of food is not followed by reaction.

The prospect for future prices is much canvassed at present among buyers and/ far* mere. '^Potatoes" the buyer, said, "certain to go down to 90 and 25 cents per bushel before many weeks, and the tendency will be downward from now until the close of the buying season." This opinion, whatever value i t may have, is based upon reports t h e buyer claimed to have received relative to the potatoe yield i n western and eastern states. One Michigan buyer who recently made a trip through many of the countys of Michigan, estimates the potatoe yield in this state at 23,875,000 bushels. Wexford county, according to his estimate, will market 230,000 bushels, Manistee county 170,000 bushels and Grand Traverse county a half million bushels. Of course, the Cadillac buyer's opinion may be biased, and yet the farmer who has potatoes to sell will be justified in making a thorough investigation relative to market and price prospects.

The manufacturer and the doctor wore having a Qqiet-lttfle^aEoXe^Aj middle aged man sauntered in, spoke' Aa Baa?lUa Coaatry BaaJc Rural customers attach great Importance to the hank'8 outward appearance. A thrifty tradesman, having opened a deposit account with a bank distant some 30-miles from his home, the cashier had the curiosity to ask why he traveled so far when there was a branch of the same bank almost at his door. The depositor smiled knowingly and replied, "I lodged opposite here all the time while this bank was being built, so I know it's safe." Balance sheets to the rustic are a meaningless and arbitrary arrangement of figures. Iron bars he understands. In a northern city there is a bank widely known for the artistic merit of Its doors. Designed by an eminent sculptor, they are executed in relief in copper or bronze and appear to represent tableaux from ".SSsop's Fables" and Greek history. About a week after they were unveiled an old man who had been a depositor for many years thdrew his balance and took it to a rival bank almost opposite. Questioned as to his reason for changing, he replied: "I don't hold wi' them doors of theirs. Punched tin ain't businesslike, and it ain't safe."—Longman's. genially to both gentlemen and passed on. "Doc, who was that?' "Why, that was James Brown of— "Do you know," the manufacturer said by way of reply, "I meet men, scores of them, Just like that every day whose names I can't recall?" With just a shade of superior ability the doctor replied, "Well now, among all the men and women I know I call most all by name as I greet them. Itell you it's a trick of the profession." "That may be, doc—but I doubt If you can write down in fifteen minutes 100 names of people you know personally." The doctor jumped to his feet and said, scornfully, "Jingoes! I can." "All right. I'll bet a box of cigars on it." The doctor, pencil in hand, was soon hard at work. "Time!" The manufacturer's watch snapped shut, and as he looked over the doctor's shoulder he counted 63. They finished their cigars in silencebut the next morning the manufacturers friends chuckled audibly over the doctor's professional knowledge of applied psychology.—Milwaukee SentineL A Dlekeaa Letter. Fenn is the possessor of a sheet of old fashioned blue wire woven note paper, which had its habitation for years upon the bill file of tbe tradesman to whom it was sent. It tells its own tale: "Mr. Charles Dickens is much obliged to Mr. Claridge for the offer of Lord Byron's flute. But, as Mr. Dickens cannot play that Instrument himself and has nobody in his house who can, he begs to decline the purchase, with thanks. Devonshire Terrace, twentieth June, 1848." There is no visible mark of a smile upon the paper, says Mr. Fenn, but there seems to be one playing among the words, and one cannot help thinking that when Dickens wrote that he could not play the flute he must have recalled a certain flute serenade played at "Mrs. Todgers' Commercial Boarding House," written by him in, 1844.— New York Tribune. The Sin* of Nutrition. To overload the stomach with food is not less unhealthy than to indulge It with beverages. The more nutritious the food the more hazardous are the consequences when excess is habitual. Of all the sins of nutrition, the Immoderate use of meat is certainly tbe most grievous. It gives to the body in a form that is favorable for easy assimilation the albumen that is absolutely necessary to life, and hence tbe earliest effect of its excessive use must be to surcharge the body with nutrients. The chief point here Is the critical examination of what is called hunger. Many persons believe that any and every sensation of hunger must be satisfled immediately, but this Is a great mistake. An equally great If not worse mistake is the opinion that one must eat until a sense of satiety arises. Excessive nutrition injures the mental capabilities also. Of the particular consequences of excessive nutrition, such as hypochondria* (the very name of which refers the reader to the region of the abdomen) and -the gout. It is hardly necessary to speak.—Blatter Fur yolksgesundbeltspnege. Stepped Into Lire Coals. "When a child I burned my loot rriffhtfnlly." writwj W. B. Bads, of .lon*8vit|n.

It was then the custom when giving a large entertainment for the hostess to Inform her guests what particular odor she would use for perfuming her rooms, and each guest would use that odor in making her toilet. At court a different perfume was used for each day of the week. Much more attention was paid to the use of the perfume than to soap and water, and cleanliness was not numbered among the virtues of that age. How P e a r l s Are Sorted. The average diver ihinks it a fair day's work to secure 100 pearl oysters in 50 feet of water. After being taken ashore the inollusks are allowed to die-, when their shells open of their own accord.

Superstition* About Saeeilac Xenopbon, Promotheus, Themistocles and Cicero regarded a sneeze as a favorable omen. Among the Hindoos and Persians, however, sneezing aud yawntog were ascribed to demoniacal possession. The Hindoo snaps his tbnmb and finger and repeats the name ot-one of his gods. The Moslems .believe that the devil may leap Into a gaping mouth, and hence when he yawns he draws the back of his band over his month and mutters this prayer, "I seek refuge With Allah from satan, the accursed."

The Pan-American is one of the greatest flower shows that ever was. but there are so many other things in which it~is great that the rarity and beauty of its floral features are perhaps apt to be overlooked. If people would take more time to allow the artistic and beautiful features of the Exposition to Impress their senses and permeate their inmost being instead of racing from one part of the grounds to another, trying to see every exhibit and every show on the Midway, they would go home feeling greater benefit from their siay In the Rainbow City.- The Pan-American is full of gardens which tempt the visitor to rest awhile and drink in the beauties of nature. It may seem surprising that in the month of October there are flowers worth looking at, but such is the fact The rains of the past few weeks have kept the landscape as fresh and beautiful as In May and June, and as one flower goes out of the scene another takes its place. On opening day the hyacinths filled the air with their dainty fragrance, in June tulips lifted their proud beads, later In the month of brides and sweet girl graduates came roses, with their rich perfume, and as the summer passed the other flowers in their season sprang up as if by magic to take the place of those which had done their blossoming and served their turn in the entertainment of the visitors to the City of Light And now one sees the tall canna. the gay geranium and such old fashioned flowers as grandmother's garden had—the phlox, the pink, the begonia, the petunia and other posies which are no less beautiful because they do not happen to be noveK In entering the grounds by the Elm • wood gate visitors pass two tall and i curious looking trees, which perhaps few in their anxiety to reach the heart J of the Exposition stop to notice, it they realized that they were century plants Just budding, a thing which, as all know, century plants only do once In a long, long time, they would doubtloss stop and look with open mouths' and wondering gaze. It is a sight which one cannot see very of ten. anywhere else. One of these century plants | is nearly forty feet in height, The Rose Gardens around the Woman's building, having for their background the outlines of the Spanish renaissance buildings about the main court and the Electric Tower looming up at its north end, with the Mirror Lakes and the Triumphal Bridge and the groups of statuary abounding, form a scene whose artistic aspect must appeal to even the least aesthetic visitor. The cannas are very effective decorative plants, with their tall leaves in green and red and brown. A rich canna one sees here is named Governor Roosevelt It would seem appropriate now to change Its name to President Roosevelt ** W Jk.

It is one of .the new things* This small garden is very beautiful, by day, and at night electric lights of different colors have been hidden among the flowers and planks, so. that one sees the surface of the ground dotted with these little spots of light bringing out the beauty of the flowers, and all forming a scene Impossible to describe, but very charming indeed to witness. It is quite a,pretty surprise even to old Pan-American visitors. Did you ever notice In crossing the Court of Lilies, sooth of the Machinery building, a heavy vapor arising from the basin in the center of that court? Sometimes it has so much the appearance of smoke that, people think something must be afire In the garden, but it is only the steam or vapor created by the beating of the water In that basin for the benefit of the tropical lilies which grow therein. These lilies, which are known as the Victoria Regia, have enormous leaves, some of them three feet in diameter. Other gardens where there are flowerVln bloom during this month of October are those In front of the United States Government building and the Horticulture group, where the gay geraniums and sweet petunias contrast their colors with the green flags growing In the basin and with the white statuary disposed along their slopes. There was a floral fete at the Exposition during the first week of October, and this in tts way. of course, was an affair of much beauty and magnificence; but. as a matter of fact there have been floral fetes at the Pan-American since opening day.

The furniture factory of FOX & Martin was totally destroyed, the, fire being first discovered in the varnish room, possibly caused by spontaneous combustion. The blaze had twenty minutes' start of the fire department. An explosion while the firemen were fighting the flames resulted in the injury of Chief Charles Wilcox. He will probably die. George Brands and William 8. Eveleth were seriously injured. The men were on a ladder throwing a stream into the second story window when the wall suddenly flow into a thousand pieces from an explosion within. Wilcox was buried beneath tons of brick, and was taken out bleeding and unconscious. Doctors give but little hope for his recovery. Brands was badly cut on the head by flying brick, and Eveleth was cut and brained. The senior member of the firm, S. C. Fox. is in England, where the firm conducts a wholesale busluess. Geo. D.

Dr. Colmette, head of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and discoverer of the anti-venomous serum which bears his name, has just had a narrow escape from death, which he owes to his own Invention. Dr. Colmette was collecting some serpents' venom, when one-of the reptiles bit him severely on the finger. A moment's hesitation would have been fatal, for the poison was a deadly one, whose action is immediate. Fortunately one of Dr. Colmette's colleagues at once injected a strong dose of the anti-venomous serum, and the worst result so far has been a high fever and a swelling of. the hand and wrist tier that the trust might have no op position. "If they can succeed in the Missouri Valley," said he. "they will then turn their attention to the beet sugar factories'in Michigan and other sections, and by the power of concentrated capital crush out successively and Individually the beet sugar producers. The trust tries to deceive the Trnbrtc-bx-riaimlTTj: that the lfeeT~iW3r ,ducers can still make money nt the low price it is trying to establish. This is false, and if It had been true, thou the trust would have tried to establish still a lower price. They are not sacrificing one-half per cent in the Mis xonii riv^r markets to make a price that will still be profitable to the l:eet sugar men. Among the villagers on the Volga In the Russian province of Samara a curious sect of women has made its appearance. It was originated by an elderly peasant woman in Soznavo, called the "Blessed Mother." These women have fled from the villages around into a remote district, where they live singly in holes dug out of me face of the hill. They lead a life of fasting and prayer, and believe themselves called from the world, which they think is shortly about to perish in a general conflagration. The "Blessed Mother" has "ten wise virgins" as a. sort of bodyguard, and the sect believes that these eleven women are possessed of miraculous power. George Arnold, 82 years of age, who had been missing from the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. F. J. Warne, Syracuse, N. Y., was discovered in a field three miles from the Warne homestead. He was sitting under a tree and had nothing to eat but some green leaves and not a drop of water had passed his lips. Although' very weak he is expected to live. The old man had lived in Toronto, Ont., up to a short time ago, when his wife died. He frequently said that he wanted to go nome and had been acting in a peculiar manner. One mile from the place where the man was found his wooden leg was discovered. He had unstrapped it and crawled on his hands and knees over stone and barbed wire fences. During the funeral of David Lindshog in Chicago, a few days ago, what threatened to be a panic, in which many would have lost their lives, was prevented by the prompt action of the pastor, Herman Lindskog. Jt occurred in the S t Ansgarius Swedish church. The church was crowded, and hundreds of people were outside awaiting an opportunity to view the remains of the pastor's son, who was shot by Policeman James P. Wiley during a scuffle. Just as the burial service was concluded^,a loud report and crashes as of splintering beams sounded in front of the edifice. The flooring bent several inches, and a number of persons started a rush for the entrance.

COLSON. jCCopjrright.lSM, by Pally Story Pub. Co.) If there was one particular characteristic or quality for which the Rev. €barle* BilHnjsa was especially distintfuiBhed it wa& that of truthfulness. Be was." truthful, moreover, for reasons quite apart and side from his calling. As a slim and pallid youth •t hoarding school he had been famous —and popular—-because of hla exceed- • lag candour. Later, as tbe devoted and conscientious rector of tbe Angelican Catholic Church of the Atonement, he was popular and beloved in raptte-of-K,- i a d Hrever tbe^aeek aadtowly~ minded clergyman knew a SUBpicion of spiritual pride it was because of tbe absolutely spotless and unstained condition, of his life-record in tbe matter of truth-telling. To have expected the Rev. Charles Billings, therefore, to have deliberately— albeit unwillingly—yielded to tbe temptation to give utterance to an unequivocal He would have been manifestly outrageous. And yet-^— The door of the church -study opened, one evening, to admit a woman—a woman tall, slender, of good figure, and expressive face, mirroring just then numerous unpleasant emotions. The Rev. Charles Billings knew her sol^d John Brewster, merchant of the old-time Chicago, and a man who was popularly suspected of being a better business man than husband. Certain It Is, tne fine eyea of his wife had long since acquired a look of weary and patient resignation. Straight up to the table at which the priest'jsat hurried the woman, in her eagerness and agitation she never saw the surprised but soothing gesture which beckoned her to a chair. But as she sank into it mechanically it became evident that she had been crying. "Oh Father Billings!" she exclaimed, wildly—the gentle little priest being so designated by his High Church congregation— MOh Father Billings do help me! If you do not—" but it was some minutes before she could go on. "I met an—an old friend this afternoon,", *he explained, subsequently, "and we—we had an ice together, Just to talk of—of old times. There wasn't a shadow of harm In it, although we used—we used to love each other. Perhaps," with a sudden accession of recklessness, "I love him still.

She will be ready to accompany you home so soon as this la tin* tehed." Fcr this lie Father Charles Billings presently—and xong—repented, and be will never cease to be anxious concerning its moral effect upon Mrs. Brewster—now slowly acquiring the habit of a negative happiness by utter self-forgetting. Also, the recurrent torture of his wretched inability to solve the problem of 'whether or not he did right in telling the lie will always serve the purpose* of an exquisitely painful hair-shirt to the .man who told i t But there are rare moments, now and then, when the problem and the repentance alike cease to trouble him—when he is glad in the conviction that tbe lie saved not only a woman's body from perdition, but also tbe woman's soul. "No, sir," he heard himself saying. in the world, with the exception of yourself, Father Billings, if you_don'l help me, I'm—I'm afraid I'm lost forever!" "What do you want me to do, my child?" asked the priest, quietly. For answer, she sank on her knees beside him, catching at his hand with small, beseeching fingers that burned like lire. "Tell him that I have been making charity calls," she said, hoarsely. "He won't believe me, but he'll believe you, if you tell him. Everybody knows," without a suspicion of grim humor, "how invariably truthful you are." "But, my child," said the priest, gravely, "that would be a lie, a Bin." "I know it would be a lie," she made ^or one of his parishoneifl,-the wife ©f-| answer^but. would lL.be a sin if you did it to save another? And there are worse sins than lying, Father, and some of them are hard to avoid, i don't know how to tell you, but—I've no money, Father, I've no friends or relatives, and if ray husband throws me aside there's only one person to whom I can turn'for assistance—and— and—I do not want to go to—him." The face of the priest was pale and puzzled. As a clergyman he knew lying to be sinful. As a man and a gentleman he hated lying on general principles. Ho was firmly convinced of the wickedness of doing evil that good may corao. And yet— It was all so clear before him. if this woman did not still love the— the other man—she would not so fear and dread being thrown aside by her unloving, unloved husband. And, if so thrown aside, to whom else could she turn? That she was speatting the truth in regard to her husband's harshness and her own penniless condition the clergyman knew well. He knew more about solid John Brewster than most people, and for a hard man and exceeding close with, his money all men knew him. That he would refuse to believe the meeting between his wife and the lover from whom he bad parted her, by unfair means, solitary and a* innocent as accidental was also tolerably certain. Then, certainly, the problem lay between this woman's soul and his own —the priestly soul which had never yet been stained by lying. Heavy steps sounded along the passageway leading from the street The woman, springing to a chair on the other side of the table, looked at the priest beseechingly and bent hurriedly over some papers. A moment later and solid John Brewster himself strode into the room. At sight of his wife the hard face changed, the expression faltered. Tbe priest, rising to confront him, caw in his eyea both doubt and hesitation. MI see my wife is with you," tbe man said, sullenly. "May I inquire if she has been with you all day?** For a moment the priest struggled 'Oh, Father BUMng*!" against a moat human impulse, the Tolce and face all concentrated bit-[mad, natural, all but uncontrollable ternesa, "plotted and cams between us.

The people cf Flushing, which has become famous for the beautiful shade trees which line its streets, have noticed recently that many big, sturdy trees have withered and become lifeless without apparent cause or injury. These trees were not confined to any one variety nor was any single locality alone affected. Horticultural experts examined the dead trees to see if they had become affected by insects or rust, but nothing of the kind was found. Then Samuel B.

The ladies arn attending tbe state meeting of tbe WEN Superintendent Converse promised' a better aeries of live stock sbowa at tbe Pan-American Exposition than was ever before attempted, tbe statement was accepted as an ordinary pleasant and pardonable exaggeration. Tbe complete success of tbe dog and tbe swine shows, however, proved to be the first steps toward redeeming bis promise. The cattle show was an agreeable surprise to every stocfcma#n who saw it and at once established a new standard of excellence that will not be equaled for years to come and possibly never surpassed as regards quality. The sheep show, now fully under way and lasting to Oct. 26, is in every way a worthy successor to the dog, the swiue and the cattle shows. The best flocks in the United States and Canada are represented, together with their recent additions of imported stock, consisting of about twenty fine animals now shown in this country for the first time. The sheep show, taken as a whole, is one of the most complete ever brought together. Every important breed has a strong representation, while every breed known has an exhibit of some kind. The Island Black Face, of whicb there are but three or four flocks in tbe United Stutes, are well represented, and tbey are creating a great deal of interest among the exhibitors and visitors. > All classes in tbe middle wools are pnrticr.JsM-ly _strong.,_nuioiis whlcli :tre tTon" visitors their" practical^worlfaf, twenty sheep are brought from the East Buffalo stockyards every morning. One machine is set In motion each half hour during tbe day, and one of the men in charge removes a fleece with it One of the operators claims a speed of one and one-half minutes to a neece. Raa*« Sk**p. In a pen outside of the regular sheep exhibit is a carload of range sheep direct from the Canadian northwest These are sent as an advertisement of the rich pasture lands and an illustration of what may be produced there without additional feed and without artificial shelter. The Pan-Amerlearn Horse Show. Dame Fashion may have withdrawn her smile of approval and tbe different styles of autos turn their backs in derision, but tbe borse still holds favor with the great majority of mankind. The borse show at the Exposition which holds the boards for two weeks, from Oct 7 to Oct. 19, will be no exception. Five hundred horses are coming which are carefully selected to faithfully represent the best of every breed found in the United States and Canada. Vermont is again courting prominence by sending a fine lot of Morgan horses, a breed that should receive more attention than it does. Draft horses, especially the Clydesdale and Percheron breeds; are well represented. These are principally from -Canada and the western states. German coach horses attract a great deal.of attention.

Tbe strongest representation of all is from the Merinos. Vermont, tbe home of the Merino, where tbe only distinctive American breed of sheep originated, is represented by many of her best breeders. This fact deserves more than a passing notice, as our domestic animals of American origin are not numerous. We have borrowed almost everything of this nature from other countries. The only otlier exception Is possibly tbe American trotting borse Ansorm Goat a. In connection witb the sbeep sbow is an exhibit of 240 Angora goats. These interesting animals fill one of the iive stock pavilions. Tbe growing of Angora goats is a comparatively new business in this country, and very little Is known about it in the east Their adaptability to rough, rocky pasture lands, where they graze and grow contentedly, has brought them prominently into consideration where such lands have proved useless or nearly so. Wool Exhibit. As another feature of the sheep shew Superintendent Converse has arranged an exhibition of wool. This is International in scope, having fleeces from tbe different states, Canada and several South American countries. Argentina alone contributes more than 200 sample fleeces. Chile. Costa Rica, Bolivia, Salvador and other Central and South American countries are also represented. Such an international wool exhibit was never before attempted. It cannot fall to produce lasting benefits that will be shared by growers of sbeep, mannfacturers of woolen goods and through tbem tbe general public* Shoarta* Naafclaory. Still another accessory to tbe sbeep lndnetry is elaborately illustrated. In one of tbe stock buddings a platform was erected about three feet above the floor, upon which is installed tbe latest and beet shearing nnd clipping machinery. Some of tbe nincuiues are operated by electricity, while others are mn£|i& bjLhnnjL Ta_fifcaaJtQ-Elotion of these horses will bVbrought direct to the Exposition. French-Canadian horses from Quebec are entered more as a special feature of the horse show. Tbey are little known in the United States, but their style and endurance will commend them as superior coach horses and those that will command favor in any market Instead of enumerating the different breeds it is only necessary to select any kind of horse wanted, with tbe assurance that it will be on exhibition. The finest stables on tbe continent are contributing to tbe show witb sufficient enthusiasm to Insure the finest representation possible. place In the Stadium on tbe 9th and 10th of October, when this immense structure will be none too large to accommodate those who will want to see this crowning climax to sucb an elaborate series of live stock shows. Pomltrr aad Pet Stock. From Oct. 21 to the close of tbe fair tbe stock,pavilions will be once more filled witb life, though In a very different form. Poultry of high degree from all parts of the United States and many places in Canada will fraternise without regard to politics or tariffs. As near neighbors tbe poultry will have mice, rabbits, cats, cavies, prairie dogs, squirrels, ferrets, rats and Belgian hares, besides a great assortment of pigeons, owls, magpies and a great many cage birds. Eight thousand animals and birds are being gathered together to form this complete cosmopolitan assemblage of birds and animals. > If you want your piano tuned right, drop a card to F. N.

Owing to the bad weather the Anderson farmers club was not very well attended at Fred Hemmingway's last Saturday. However they held an interesting and profitable meeting. The main subject discussed was the sugar beet business and while many thought it was the most profitable thing to do where a factory was near they thought it would require to large an amount of the profits to haul tbe beets as far a Howell. It a factory was nearer they thought it would be a ffood thing and would go into it heartily. The next meeting will be held at the home of J as. Livermore.

TEEPLE & CftDWELL WHY NOT PENCKNETf Best Location In County for Beet Sugar Factory. Howell and 4'owlerville are both after a beet sugar factory and both claim tbe best advantages. We rise to say that right here in Fincknej and vicinity we have every advantage of either town and some better. , In the first place the land about the village is especially adapted to raising the sugar beet that has the sugar in it. There are hundreds of acres within a few miles of the village that are easily cultivated and contains the properties of sugar. Low black soil may raise tbe beets but the sand loam is what makes the sugar. In the second place considerable hrne stone is needed in the sugar making process and that could be se onred without going as far as some may think. In the third place w£ are situated so far from the milk factory that the best profiits are spent in getting the milk to market ana with a beet factory farmers could draw their beets in and a load of pulp back for fuel and manure. We understand that.«U the acreage-I required to start a factory conld be' secured here and a site given etc. We think it wocud pay to founders of the factories to visit our village before jumping at any conclusions.

Lovers of art, catalogue in hand, stroll through the -galleries and discuss the pictures. The ballroom Is resplendent with the rich apparel of those who, on either side of the white, glistening boards, await the signal from the orchestra. Concert halls are lifted into enchantment with the war- Me of one songstress or swept out on a sea of tumultuous feeling by the Mast of brazen Instruments. Drawing rooms are filled with all gracefulness «f apparel, with all sweetness of sound, with all splendor of manner; mirrors catching up and multiplying the until it seems as If in Infinite corridors there were garlanded troops advancing and retreating.

Mirth, revelry, heanty, fashion, magnificence, mingle -tm the great metropolitan picture until •the thinking man goes home to think snore seriously, and the praying man -to pray more earnestly. A beautiful and overwhelming thing Is the city in the 'first and second watches of the atght Tturd Watch of the Night. Bat the clock strikes 12 and the third watch has begun. The thunder of the city has rolled out of the air. The ellgfatec^ sounds cut the night with •aaea distinctness as to attract your attention. The "tinkling of the boll of the street car in the distance and the haying or the dog. The stamp of a in the next street The slamof a saloon door. The hiccough the drunkard. The shriek3 of the thistle five miles away.

Childhood, wtth its dimpled hands thrown cut on the pillow, and with every breath taking in a new store of fun and frolic. Third watch of the night! God's slumberless eye will look. Let one great wave of refreshing slumber roll over the heart of the great town, cubmeiglng cars and anxiety and worriment and pain,- Let the city sleej>. Those Who Sleep Not. But my friends, be not deceived. There will be toni&ht thousands who will not sleep si alL Go up that dark alley, and be cautious where you tread lest you fall over the prostrate form of a drunkard lying on his own doorstep. Look about you, lest you feel the garroter's hug. Look through the broken window pane and see what ycu can see. You cay, "Nothing." Then listen. What is it? "God help us!" No footlights, but tragedy ghastlier and mightier than Rlstori or Edwin Booth ever enacted. No light, no fire, no bread, no hope. Shivering in the cold, they have had no fcod for twenty-four hours. You say, "Why don't they beg?" They do, but they gat nothing. You say, "Why don't they deliver themselves over to the almshouse?" Ah, you would not ask that if you ever heard the bitter cry of a man or child when told he must go to the almshouse! "Oh," you say, "they are vicious poor, and there!ore they do not deserve our sympathy." Are they vicio u s ? S o much more need they your pity. The ChrlElian pocr, God helps them. Through their . night there twinkles the round, merry star of hope and through the broken window they see the crystals of heaven, but the vicious poor, they are more to be pitied. Their last light hai gone out. You excuse yourself from helping them by saying that they are sd bad they brought this trouble on themselves. I reply, Where I give tea prayers for the innocent who arc suffering I will give twenty for the guiliy who are suffering. T h e Open Door. Pass on tlTOUih the aley. Open the door. "Oh," you say, 'it is locked." No, it Is net lecked. It has never been locked. No burglar would be tempted to go in there to steal anything. The dcor is never locked. Only a broken chair stands against the door. Shove it back. Go in. Strike a matcM. Now, look. Beastliness and r?g3. See those glaring eyeballs. Be careful now what ycu say. Do not utter any insult do not utter ary suspicion, if ycu walue your life. What is that red mark on the wall? It is the mark of a murderer's hand! Lock at those two eyes rising up out of the dukne&s and out from the straw in the corner, coming toward you, and as they come near you your light go as out. Strike another match. Ah, this is a babe, not like thess beaut'ful childr:n pr3&ented In baptism. This little one never smiled; it never will smile. A flower flung on an awfully barren beach. 0 Heavenly Shepherd, fold that little one in tby arms! Wiap around you your shawl or your coat tlghtsr, for the co!d wind sweeps through. , , . , Strike another match. Ah, !s it possible that the scarred and bruised face cf that young woman wats ever looked into by maternal tend?rn:s3? Utter no scorn. Utter no harsh word. No ray of hope has dawned on that brow for many a year. No ray of hope ever will dawn on that brow. But .the light has gone out Do not strike another light It would be a' mockery to kindle another light in such'a place as that. Pass out and pass djcosa.lhe street. Our cities are full «f such hemes, and the wotst time the third watch of the night. The Criminal'* Hoar. Do you know that it is in this third watqh of the night that criminals do their worst work?

Strewn through the drinking saloons of the city, fathers, husbands, sons as good as you are by nature, perhaps better. My friends, you see all around about you the need that something radical be done. You do not see the worst In the midnight meetings in London a great multlude have been saved. We want a few hundred Christian men and women to comedown from the highest circles of society ,to toil amid these wandering and destitute ones and kindle up a light in the dark alley, even the gladness of heaven. Do not go wrapped in your fine furs and from your well filled tables with the Idea that pious talk is going to stop the gnawing of an empty stomach or to warm stockingless feet. Take bread, take raiment, tako medicine, as well as take prayer.

A great deal of what is called Christian work goes for nothing for the simple reason that it was no*; practical, as after the battle of Antietam a man got out of an ambulance with a bag of tracts, and he went distributing the tracts, and George Stuart, one of the best Christian men in this country, said to him: "What ace you distributing tracts for now? There are three thousand men bleeding to death. Bind up their wounds and then distribute the tracts." We want more common sense in Christian work, taking the bread of this life in one hand and the bread of the next life In the other hand. No such inapt wor': as that done by the Christian man who during our civil war went to a hospital with tracts and, coming to the bed of a man whose legs had been amputated, gave him a tract on the sin of dancing! 1 rejoice before God that never are sympathetic words uttered, never a prayei offered, never a Christian almsgiving indulged in, but it is blessed. There is a place in Switzerland, I am told, where the utterance of one word will bring back a score of echoes, and 1 have to tell you that a sympathetic word, a kind word, a generous word, a helpful word, uttered In the dark places of the town will bring back ten thousand echoes from heaven. Are Jo ere in this assemblage those whe know by experience the tragedies in the third watch of the night? I am not here to thrust you back with one hard word. Take the bandage .from your bruised soul and put on it the soothing salve of Christ's gospel and ol God's compassion. I tell you there is more delight in heaven over one man that gets reformed by the grace of God than over ninety and nine that nevez got off the track. Bin. MadUon** Case.

NtGRO SUPERSTITION. • People Who Est Coal. Earth-eating savages are known tc anthropologists, but the statement that therfvare people in civilized England Who habitually swallow lumps of ordlnaryhousehold coal appears somewhat surprising. To this practice Alary Ann Poy^jt housemaid lately employed at 46 Gloucester gardens, Hyde Park owed her death. Som* of the pieces, stated Dr. Harper at the Inquest, had stuck in the windpipe and caused suffocation. It was a fact, added the witness, that some persons did eat small portions of coal. The coroner asked with what object A juror said that persons suffering from severe attack! of heartburn did so. The coroner said that be.had heard, of persons eating charcoal, but not coal. There was 14 the present case; however, no doubt about the' fact "Death from misadventure" was the verdict.-*London Eg* jress. S o m e o f T h e m A r e J o a t L i k e t h e Q*ea H e t d by T h e i r W h i t e B r e t h r e n . Many of the negro superstitions in Kentucky are quite interesting. An bid philosopher told me With great gravity:. "If you want poppers to grow, you must git mad. My old 'oman an' me had a spat, an* I went right, dut an' planted my peppers, an' they :came right up." Still another saying is that peppers, to prosper, must be planted by a red-headed or by a high-tempered person. The negro also says that one never sees a jailbird on Friday, for the bird visits his satanlc majesty to "pack kindling" on that day. The three signs in which the negroes place implicit trust are tho well-- known ones of the ground hog appearing above ground on the 2d of February; that a hoe must not, be carried through a house or a death will follow, and that potatoes must be planted in the dark of the moon, as well as -all vegetables that ripen in the ground ana-that com most be planted *1n tie light of the moon. Feed gunpowder to dogs and It will make them fierce. A negro will not burn the wood of a tree that has been struck by lightning, for fear that his house will burn or be struck by lightning. If a bird files into a house it brings luck. If a crawfish or a turtle catches your toes It will hold on till it thunders. When a child I was told by a black nurse that If a bat alights on one's head rl wER stay there till it thunders. This was so terrifying that even now I have an unnecessary fear of being clutehed by a bat. To make soap, stir it with a sassafras stick in the dark cf the moon. J It Is better to be able* to suffer* Ion? and be kind, than to be able to talk like an angel.

If you have any inducements to offer that will keep trade at home don't k*»ep a good thing to yourself, tell your customers about i t If you can well goods as cheaply or cheaper than the mail order houses, your money drawer won't show it, if nobody outside of your self knows it. Now here's a straightforward question; what are you doing to keep trade at home? Are you talking interestingly in your newspapers about the new goods that just came in, how good they are, how little they cost, what a good store you have, about your bright, clean stock, and how well you can serve your trade? How often do you go down into your pocket and pay the printer for producing a handsome little booklet? Does your trade know as much about your store a s it does about the inside of- the big mail-order house catalogues? Answer these questions satisfactorily, and there won't be so much talk about the "ruinoqs competition" of the mail order houses. Fight them with their own weapons— good advertising, Bave a well kept mailing list, just as they do. Buy as much newspaper space as you can a$ord, and fill it with good business talk—store news. Take hnlf a dozen articles frcm the catalogues, quote the catalogue prices and put your own prices beside them. Show your trade the folly of ordering goods by mail, paying freight charges, etc., wnen they cau buy them just as cheaply of you, have the actual goods to select from, and keep their money at home.

After leaving home Sept. 30 we wen* to Detroit and spent the afternoon about the city and visited the beautiful Belle Isle, where we spent about 3 hours very pleasantly. Taking the train at 8:40 we went by the way of F t Huron through the S t Claire Tunnel and arrived in Hamilton, Ont. at 3:10 in the morning. Of course it was dark when we left Detroit so we did not see any of the sosnery along the way. After arriving in Hamilton we took a hack to a hotel where we MS CALLS YEAR mfciJiMwhtiUTiSi vletion, «te. T& •orib* tosUy, or, Mod jjo. for litest CMf. ' U l r «*«aaw*«^d.

H & B. depot we took the train for Smithville. This road runs east of the city and for about 15 miles is a steady up-grade and gives a good view of the country. Below the mountain, away to the north could be seen the beautifull Hamilton bay; beyond that is another range of mountains which was plainly seen in the morning sun and lake Ontario, stretched its broad expanse of green waters to the northeast. Arriviug at our destination we found a sister there waiting forus. From there we enjoyed a drive of ttbout six miles to our mothers where it is needless to say, we were' made welcome. Here we spent • a few days visiting old friends and neighbors and enjoying the fat of the land, then we took up ov.r journey and drove about 25 miles through a nice country, well wooded with a mixed timber which presented to the eye an ever changing scene. VVe passed through the old .town of Mount Albion with its decaying walls and crumbly chimneys and on down the Albion mountian drive. This is a very beautiful drive, the road for about half a mile is down grade and some places quite steep, skirted on both sides with trees of different kinds, the maples showing the effects of jack frost with the varying hues contrasting with the deep green of the pine folage which makes a picture .fit for the brush of any artist Emerging from this we came upon more level country which is given up entirely to the culture of fruit which is raised in great abundance, the most of which is harvested except grapes.

Yours Bespectf ully, G. W. BLACK. W o n by Hie Wit. A story is told of an English clergyman who owed bis appointment to a rich living to a lucky pun. He was tutor to the son of a nobleman and had not long taken orders when he attended the funeral of the rector of the parish in which the nobleman's seat was situated. The father of his pupil was patron ot the living and was also present at the funeral of the deceased rector. There was a young clergyman present also whose grief was so demonstrative that the noble patron was much affected by the sight and asked If the young man was,a son of the deceased gentleman. "Oh, dear, no, my ldrd—no relation at all," said the tutor. "No relation!" exclaimed the nobleman in a surprised tone. "None, my lord; he Is the curate, and I think he is not weeping for the dead, but for the living." His lordship, who was something of a wit and a cynic himself, was so delighted with the bonmot that he conferred the living upon the ready punster. <S&£ This eiffnatttre is on every box . lihe genniae Laxative BroaKHQuimae Tibi* the remedy thai career » coM to MM *aw Subscribe for Dispatch. *%****+****t^*^***%J*u****i*»**k&*0l POeTAL 4 MOMV, FROPftirrone. •fcfetiy SrtV claee.

The otter used by Scottish poachers is one of the most deadly fishing instruments known. Iu some waters is is far more effective than a net. It may be described as a water kite, which serves to take out over the water a line bearing 50 or more flies. The otter itself Is a floating piece of board leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poacher walks along the side of loch or river, letting out the fly decorated line as he goes, the otter board gradually working out toward the center. An enormous area of water is fished at one time and numbers of fish are killed. • • « • » .

Director General Buchanan says the only problem now confronting the Exposition is how to find days enough within the closing weeks to adequately take care of the many attractions and features now being planned. He predicts a great attendance during the month of October and one far inwexcess of the highest estimates that have been made by the most sanguine. In answer to the inquiry as to whether or not Buffalo could take care of the crowds, he said there was no difficulty whatever in this regard; that Buffalo could easily care for 250,000 strangers every day comfortably and at reasonable prices.

Here is a story told by Professor Barrett Wendell about Dr. William Everett: The latter was going out to Brockton one night to deliver an address and ran across Mr. Wendell in the Old Park square station. "Come along. Wendell," he said. "I am going out to Brockton to speak, and I want some one respectable to sit on the platform with me." So the professor went along. When Everett arose to speak, the hall, which was a large one, was only passably well filled, and even the comparatively small number present began to grow smaller as one by one people slipped away. Mr. Wendell began to think that Brockton must be a singularly cold hearted place when* suddenly he noticed people coming in by twos and threes and silently taking seats wherever they could find them. Soon the hall was full, with standing room only, but still they came till the aisles and walla were lined with interested listeners. The supposed deserters had simply gone eat and told the* people of Brock* ton that fcere was the greatest mail they'd e w heard and gathered them IB by the ecore.-^Bostoo Herald, I f NIGHTS OF MACCABEES.

"Or* groaned Horam, clasping hie thin fcandjrr together,—'what would I give to call Helena'back to life! But It cannot be. She is gone—and she Was innocent!" He started .up from his seat, and walked several times across the floor; and when he next approached hl9 royal guest, he had grown calmer, and his Up had ceased its quivering. "Omar, I have no blame for you. . Henceforth let the book be sealed." He had taken, one or two more turns up and down the apartment, when a messenger entered with intelligence that Bononl had arrived, and desired 'audience. "Send him in at once. Good brother, you will remain with me," This last was spoken to Omar, who had turned to leave. In a little walla Benoni made his appearance, and Horam was sure he could see the flush of victory upon his brow. "Now, my captain, what word do you bring?" "Good word, sire. We have captured those whom you desired to see, and have also brought an old man and old woman who resided in the eavc." "Have you brought the Lady Ulin— and the robber chieftain—and Osrnlr and Selim?" "Yes, Eire." "And tbese others are the old hermit, Ben Hadad, and the woman who lives with him?" "Yes, sire." "By the crown I wear!", cried the monarch, leaping up, and clapping his hands, "thlB Is enough to make me forget the wrongs I have suffered. Let the robber •« chieftain and the two treacherous guards be brought before me. But—hold. There was one other epoken of by the Arab—the lieutenant — Hobaddan his name was." "He was'not in the bave, sire; nor was he about tne place." "Very well. Let the chieftain bs brought in." The captain retired, and presently returned, followed by Julian and the two guards. They were heavily ironed, and six stout soldiers walked behind them. The youthful chieftain had schooled himself for the ordeal, and no sign of fear was manifest. Osmir and Selim stood like two deaf mutes, seeming to care nothing for the fate that surely awaited them. "That is all," said Horam, after he had looked at the prisoners. "Take them out, and.guard'them well. Place twenty of your most trusty men over them, and remember that tnose twenty heads shall answer for the safety c' the charge." "Shall I conduct them to a dungeon, Bire?" "No,—there is no need of it. Thsy will not live to behold the setting of this day's sun!" Ben Hadad did not tremble when he stood before the kins; nor did Ezabel seem much frightened. "Old man." said Horam, "I understand that you have harbored and protected the notorious Scourge, Julian." "He hath found shelter with me, as have all' who ever sought it," replied the hermit; v "And you also harbored the lady Ulin. You knew who* she was, and that she had fled from her home." " Y e s . " -.'• <- . • • • • "And perhaps you knew why she .fled?" She told me Tier story, sire." "It is enough,*.' cried the king, impatiently. "I wish to- hear no more.

I asked you what you discovered." » * "I discovered," returned the minister, in tones of deepest dread, "that her love had been turned from you." "Aye—and upon whom?" "Upon Julian, sire." "That is it, Aboul." cried the king, again starting* up. "That is the thing that enters most deeply into my soul. And now I will tell you what the girl's punishment shall be. She shall witness the death of her robber lover; she shall see his head severed from his body—and then the shall be shut up, to lead a solitary life, through the rest of her days! None of her own sex shall attend upon her; but black guards shall be her sole companions. What say you to that?" Tho executioners were not long In obeying the order. A large mat was brought in and spread upon the floor, and three stout'baskets of palm-leaf were placed Upon it. The mat and the baskets were darkly stained, and even Omar, used as he was to such scenes, shuddered wnen he beheld the preparations. When all wa3 ready, Horam turned to his captain and ordered that all the prisoners should be brought in. At length they came. Julian and Osmir and Selim came first. Then followed Ben Hadad and Ezabel, with Shubal and Ortok. And lastly came Ulin and Albia. The robber chieftain was led up to the block. His arms were folded upon his broad bosom, with the heavy chains hanging almost to his feet, and hi3 head was; borne erect. There was a deep pain-mark in hi3 face, but it was not of fear for himself. "Outlaw!" spoko Horam, through his shut teeth, and with his thin hands clenched, "the hour has come in which you are to clo3e your career of rapine. and robbery; and these people who have been friends to you, and who have civen you protection in your crime, are to see your head fall. Perhaps you would ask for mercy." "No!" said the chieftain. "I ask no mercy at the hand of Horam of Damascus:. Let the work be finished as quickly as possible, and thus shall one more be added to the list of thy bloody deeds. I could wish to live that I might taka more vengeance on thee." "And is there not one thing for which you would live?" asked the king, bending a searching, burning glance upon him. . . . Julian started, and struggled; but made no reply. And "in a moment more Horam turned to his chief executioner. "Bel Dara, go now to your work. Lot this man's head fall first. Your arm is strong, and your hand is sure. Bend him upon his knees, and watch , for my signal." There was a low, wild cry breaking upon the air; and as Julian turned his head, he saw Ulin, white and faint, in the arms of her attendant. Eeforo the grim executioners could bend the robber chieftain to his knee3 there was an Interruption in the proceedings. The .voice of Ben Hadad, stern and authoritative, sounded above all else: "Kitfg. of Damascus, ere you stain your hands with that man's blood, 1 must reveal to you a secret which it is fitting you should know." "Old man," ha said, "you speak a secret. Do you think to trifle with me?" "I have to causa a simple story to be unfolded to your majesty," replied Ben Hadad; "and if you will grant this woman speech, she will give you light." The king looked hard into the face of F.zabel, and for the first time he seemed to be struck by something familiar in her features. A moment ho sat as if irresolute, and then he said, starting up 03 though his mind were fixed: "Let the woman approach." Ezabel came nsar to the throne, Ben Kadad walking close behind her.. "Woman, what is it that you have .to tall? Speak, and let not the words lag upon your lips." "I speak by the request of Ben Hadad; r replied.

M Simla it is believed that Habib Oullah Kuan, who was regarded by his father as his successor and bad Ions had a share in the government of the country, will assume the succession peaceably. , and as I had formed a strong attachment for her, and as she had ajsp conceived the same for me, 1 was retained to attend upon her. Her parent^ were ot the wealthiest of Damascus, and while they made it very pleasant for me to remain with their daughter, they also provided a good place for my son, Hobaddan. My charge grew up to be a beautiful maiden, and became my mistress; and I terved her with joy, for she was good and kind and generous; and I knew that she loved me. In time my mistress became a wife, and I went with her to her new home. For a few months all went pleasantly under this new relation; but finally a dark eloud arose to obscure the heaven, of my lady'3 joy. Her husband became jealous of her—became so jealous that his soul was fraught with deadly vengeance. He fancied that his wife's guilt had been prove 1, and he resolved to put her away from him forever. Her protestations availed nothing. He would not listen to her—he would not even allow her to approach him; but he gave her into the hands of his executioners, and bade them drown her in the waters of the Pharphar. I discovered what was to be done, and slipped away from the home of the cruel husband, and sought my son, who had then become a stout youth. Hobaddan and I hid ourselves near the gates of the city, and when the executioners came out, we followed them. They had with them a large sack, and I knew that my mlstrera was in i t We saw them sink that sack in the river—they sank it where the water was dark and deep—sank it in the middle of the night—and then went away. As soon as they were gone we hurried to the 3hore, and my son plunged into the stream, and succeeded in bringing the sack to the land. We opened it, and my sweet mistress was taken forth, cold and senseless; but she was not dead. Her heart still had motion, and after much labor we, succeeded in bringing her back to consciousness. The next need waa to find a safe shelter for her. We dared not take her back to the city. I thought of the hermit, Ben Hadad. I had heard that ho was a benevolent man, and I reiolvcd to seek him. We found his cave; and when he had heard my story, he promised to give us shelter, and to protect the unfortunate lady. "My mistres3 so far recovered as to be able to sit up; but 3hc could not get well. Her system had received too great a shock, and her poor heart was broken. In two weeks from the time when she entered the cave^. she gave birth to a son, and shortly afterwards she died. She died as pure and true as heaven itself, and her child was the offspring of an honor which no temptation could have tarnished. She died; but the child lived and thrived—lived, and grew strong, and noble, and bold. We told him how his mother had been wronged; but we did not tell him all. We did not tell him who I1L3 father was; only we told him that he owed his orphanage to the king of Damascus. When he grew up he resolved that tho king should suffer for the deed he had done, and subsequent events have proved that his resolution wa3 not vain. "This, sire, is the son of the woman who was my mlstreas. Julian, tho Scourge of Damascus is the child 1 have reared. Would you know more?" Horam sat in his great chair, with his hands clutched tightly upon the golden armi-, and his whole frame quivering. "O," he gasped, "the secret is nigh to the surface! What shall I ask?" The king of Aleppo moved to Horam's side, and whispered in his ear. "Aye," exclaimed the quaking monarch, when he had listened to the words of his brother, "?t shall be so. What ho! Benoni—clear this chamber of all save this old man and woman, and this—this—Julian! Lead them out quickly, and remain w'th them to watch them." In a few moments tho two king* were alone with the three prisoners who had been designated. "Now—now—speak!" . "King of Damascusp^sald the aged hermit, taking a sjep forward, "allow me to tell you Vis rest The suns of almost a hundred years have rolled over my head, and not yet have I willingly deceived a fellow creature to his Injury. What this woman has told you is truo. The lady who was brought to my cave three-and-twenty years ago-^who gave birth to a child there—and who died in Ezabel*s arms-, was Helena, Queen of Damascus!

On Saturday last we made a hurried visit to the above factoiy and found everyone at work trying to catch up with orders. Chas. G. Smith the genial manager showed us through the institution and although at present only four men are employed be informed me that they turned out over twenty complete bed springs per day. If orders continue to come in as fast as tbey have witbin the past two weeks tbey will have to put in more bands. The factory is a two story building 20x64 thus giving about 2,600 square feet o'f floor. The machinery is driven by a 6-horse power gasoline engine which furnishes power enough to keep 20 or SO^men at work if needed. All sizes of springs are made from a sofa spring to the largest made and tention to the spring given from a loose easy one for a light person to a very stiff one for a heavy person, They even make them heavy on one side and light on the other just as ordered. In fact one can order a spring to suit himself. The Surprise Spring is sold upon a positive guarantee to give perfect satisfaction or money refunded whitbin ten days. We snrely think that every opto-date furniture dealers must carry them in stock to supply the demand tor wben people once find out their good qualities tbey will have no other.

Tho Pinckn*/ Kilt Own Rat*. Ruined Again by About 9:90 Tuesday it was noticed that rats had caused a break in the dam. Immediate steps were taken by Mr. Peters to arrest the progress of the water, butow-ing to the looseness of the soil this was impossible and in a very few momenrs^tbe water was rushing through in torrents and the east end of the dam was in ruins. The break occured at the same placeas it did about a year and a half ago. A goouHsEare of tlFcTtuehT of the village got to the scene in time to see the torrents of water and some were lucky enough to secure some of the tine fish, and the pond was well stocked and was just begining to furnish sport to the nimrods. Thousands of small bass, pickerel, sunfish etc. were left on the weeds to die and unless something 1¾ dune the smell of decay* ing weeds and fish will be terrible in a week. The loss falls heavily on Mr. Peters who has purchased the will and was getting a trade that caused him to run the mill almost continually to keep Up and fill foreign orders. He has however quite a little flour on hand and can supply most of his home customers, A bee will be made by the* citizens aud farmei patrons on Monday and Tuesday of next week, to help in the work of reparing the break and getting the mill running again before cold weather. This will benefit all and ovoryone should turn out. Bring your team, wagon and scraper it you have one, if not come prepared to shovel. Dinner will be served both days by Mr. Peters for all who come.

If in this city thero are twenty thoaaand who are down in moral character, then twenty thousand fell uader the power of the word I was reading of a wife husband had been overthrown few strong drink, and she went to the sjaloom where he was ruined, and she amid, "Give me back my husband." And the bartender, pointing to a maudlin battered man drowsing in the corof the barroom, said: "Th:re he Jim, wake up; here's your wife for yon." And the woman said: -**B0 you call that my hu3band? What imve you been doing with him? I? tint the manly brow, is that the clear eye. Is that the noble heart, that I married? What vile drug have you given him that his turned h m into a Bend?

Through the Christ who died to emve yon, come! What is the use of waiting? The longer you wait the further off you are and the deeper you ore down. Strike out for heaven! Tea remember that a few years ago a steamer called the Princess Alice, with e> crowd of exaroionisia ab:ard, sank in the Thames, and there was an awful ameriSce of life. A boatman from the shore pat out for the rescue, and he had evbiff boat, and he got It so full It would not hold another parson, and as he b>id hold of the oars to pull for ithe shore, leaving hundreds helpless mem drowning; he cried out, "Oh, that I had a bigger bout!"

'• ~r " :~ • Solaoa of Christian Faith. What w e a l l need, whether u p o r down in life or half w a y between, i s the indefinite solace of t h e Christian religion. And so w e employ t h e word "Come!" It will take all eternity to find out t h e number of business-men who have been strengthened b y t h e promises of God, and the people w h o have been fed by the ravens when other resources gave out, and t h e m e n and women who, going into this battle armed only with needle or saw or a x or yardstick or pen or type or shovel or shoe last, have gained a victory that made the heavens resound. With all the resources of God promises for every exigency, no one need be left i n the lurch.? - - - I like the faith displayed years a g o iu Drury Lane, London, in a humble home when every particle of food had given cut, and a kindly soul entered with tea and other table supplies and found a kettle on the fire ready for tea. The benevolent lady said, "How i s it that you have the kettle ready for the tea when you had no tea in the house?" And the daughter of t h e home said: ''Mother would have me put t h e kettle on the fire, and when I said, 'What is the use of doing so when we have nothing in the house?' she said, 'My child, God will provide; thirty years h e has already provided l o r me through "all my pain and helplessness, and h e will not leave me t o starve a t last. H e will send us help though w e do not y e t see how.' We have been waiting all day for something to come, but until w e saw you w e knew not how It w a s to come." Such things the world m a y call coincidences, but I call them Almighty deliverances, and though y o u do not hear of them they are occurring every hour of every day and i n all parts of Christendom. The "»Vorlrt'» Dismal Consolation^ Wnat dismal work of condolence the world makes when it attempts to condole! The plaster they spread does not stick. The broken bones under theii bandage do not knit. A farmer was lost in a snowstorm on a prairie of the far west. Night coming on, and after he was almost frantic from not knowing which way to go his sleigh struck the run of another sleigh, and he said, "I will follow this rut, and it will take me out to safety." He hastened on until he heard the bells of the preceding horses; but, coming up, he found that that man was also lost, and* as the tendency of those who are confused in the forest or on the moors, they were both moving ir. a circle, and the runner of the one lost sleigh was following the runner of the other lOBt sleigh round and round. At last it occurred to them to look at the north star, which was peering through the night, and by the direction of that star they got home again. Those who follow the advice of this world in time of perplexity are in a fearful round, for ii is one bewildered soul following another bewildered soul, and. only those who have In such time got their eye on the morning star of our Christian faith can find their way out or be strong enough to lead others with an all persuasive invitation. "But," says some one, "you Christian people, keep telling us to 'come/ yet you do not tell us how to come." That charge shall not be true on this occasion. Come believing! Come repenting! Come praying! After all that God has been doing for six thousand years, sometimes through patriarchs and sometimes through prophets and at last through the culmination of all the tragedies OS CT^oth^ can an^ pae : Two Things to BeU - *ftdt," you say, "there are so many' things I have to believe and so many things in the shape of a creed that I have to adopt that I am kept back;** No, no! You need believe but two things—-namely, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, and thai you,are one of them. "But," you say, "I do believe both of these thihglT""Do"you" really believe them with all your heart? "Yes." Why, then, you 1mve passed from death into life. Why, then, you are a son or a daughter of the Lord Almighty. Why, then, you are an heir or an heiress oi an inheritance that will declare dividends from now until long after the stars are dead. Hallelujah! Prince ol God, why do you not come and take your coronet? Princess of the Lord Ainrtghtyrwhy do you-not^BountTOui throne? Pass up into the light Youi boat IS anchored, why do you not go ashore? Just plant your feet down hard, and you will feel under them the Rock of Ages. I challenge the universe for one instance in which a man in the. right spirit appealed for the salvation of the gospel and did not get it. Man alive, you are going to let all the years of your life go iw*y with you without your having this great peace, this glorious hope, this bright expectancy? Are you going to let the pearl of great price lie in the dust at your feet because you are too indolent or too proud to stoop down and pick it up? Will you wear the chain of evil habit when near by you is the hammer j:hat could with one stroke snap the shackle? Will you stay in the prison of sin when here Is a gospel key that could unlock your incarceration? No, no! Maglo of a Word. As tho one word "Come" h a s some* times brought many souls t o Christ, 1 will try the experiment of piling up into a mountain and then send down in an avalanche of power many of these gospel "Comes." "Come thou and all thy house into t h e ark." "Come untc me all y e w h o labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." "Come, for all things are now ready." "Come with us, and w e will do y o u good." "Come and see." "The Spirit and the bride say 'Come,' and let h i m that is a thirst come." T h e stroke of o n e bell in' a tower may be sweet, but a score of bells well tuned and rightly lifted and skillfully swung i n o n e great chime fill the heavens with music almost celestial. A n d n o o n e w h o has heard the mighty chimes in t h e towers of Amsterdam or Ghent or Copenhagen can forget them. N o w , i t seems t o me that i n this Sabbath hour a l l heaven is chirring, and t h e voices of departed friends and kindred ring down the sky' saying, "Come!" The angels w h o never fell, bending from sapphire thrones, are chanting "Come!" Yea, all the towers of heaven, tower of martyrs; tower of prophets, tower of apostles, tower of evangelists, tower o f the temple of tho Lord God and the Lamb, are chiming, "Come! Come!" Pardon foi all and peace for all and heaven for all who will come.

On good authority soldiers like best to be officered by gentlemen, but they have their choice of the type. Of the right kind was Gen.' Crawford, of the Light Division. An incident in his career during one of the Wellington wars shows him to have been rich in that justice which commands respect from equals and loyalty from Inferiors; in a word, he kept discipline without regard to rank. His division was crossing a ford on one of the Spanish marches and an officer, to keep hit breeches dry. rode through on a soldier's back. Crawford observed the thing with disgust, and in a minute was splashing through the water after them.both. "Put him down, sir!" he shouted. "Put him down! I desire you to put that officer down instantly!" Tho soldier dropped him and went on. "Return back, sir!" Crawford said to the officer, "and go through the water like the otfetxiv I will not allow my officers to ride upon the men's backs through the rivers; all must take their share alike hereof-?-.

As the sugar beet business i s a growing one in this state everything about it that can be learned by the farmer should be studied careiully.

The design, as explained by Acting Postmaster-General Madden, includes the year of birth and year of death immediately at the left and right respectively of t b e name "McKiuley," which will be directly under the head. Above the head will he the words "Series of 1901," aud above that "One Cent." The inscription "United States of America," now appearing on the postal cards, will be abandoned aud replaced.at a point lower down so as to leave the space at the upper part of the card, about one-third of the width of tbe card, clear for postmarks.

Speculators bought up the pine lands and capitalists developed the'salt industry; the salt trusts took possession of the market and the coal trust bids fair to take the larger share of the profit into its hands and dictate prices for the public. Thus the owner of these sources of wealth are pushed aside and others reap the profits.

Farming is free t o all, and any man can build a factory who has the necessary cash. Muoh of the sugar that comes from abroadlneeds refining.before it is fit to be placed on the tawket* The sugar refinersin eastern cities for a time had a monopoly of this business, selling the refined sugar at their own price, and thus fixing the price for refining to shit ^hemselves. The fact that the price of "common stock in American Sugar Befinig Co.,*1 Septembei 3 0 was mare than 121 is evidence that it is a paying concern. Having a monopoly of refined sugar they fixed the price for any locality and season. The practice of putting up the price of SJ2gar„_acerrt a pound during t h e canning Season, and then allowing i t to sink to its normal level when the canning flurry passed by was an illustration of the tactics of the sugar trust.

Here the farmer is the first party to consult and conciliate. I f for any reason he refuses to raise the sugar beets, the beet sugar industry comes to a full stop. The farmer c a rum and 8 the situation. The result is that a fair division of the profits of this industry is made and.the farmer receives a proportion that is satisfactory. Not only is this so, but this is the only i n - dustry where his equitable proportion of the profits comes directly into the pocket of the farmer in cash. The price does not depend upon quotations in Chicago, New York or Liverpool, but is determined by conditions at home. The sugar produced in our state is of such high quality that it dees not require refining but it is ready for use just as it comes from the factory. I n this respect the beet sugar m*de in .Michigan differs from most commercial sugars. AmericRu machinery and skill have brought the process to such perfection that no refiniug is here required, the sugar as it comes from our factories is fit for immediate use granulated sugar of high quality. Baw sugar requiring refining is not made in our state. I'he process is thus removed from any posibility of a monopoly. Any farmer can raise the beets, and capitalists can put up a iactory for making the sugar. Competition is absolutely free on both sides* No trust i s possible under such conditions; t h e only trust required *s that the farmer ;and manufacturer should trust each other. T o class the beet sugar industry with the sugar trust is absurd. Take these two facts ( 1 ) that the American method enables the manufacturer to turn out refined RU«ar, the only kind sent tint famrour sugar factories, and ( 2 ) beet sugar factories are possible ouly by Vie co-op. gar by the American method, fit tor immediate use as it leaves the factory and needs no refining. This production of sugar for consumption is a fatal blow to the monopoly of the sugar trust. I f we can produce in the factory refined sugar i n sufficient quanity to supply our people, the refiners' occupation is gone. That a natural manufacturing process should thus supplant a grinding monopoly should be a matter of congratulation for our people. The sugar trust recognizes the dangerrand within the- week h a s When Frances Willard was conducting a great campaign in one of the states on the issue of licens e or no-license, a' liquor dealex •Aa*d? t ofowrn !,* o«r •b.y' 8aa«tUl b>o mM orfr T H S MoCAlI.

This reduction of more than 31 per cent in the price of granulated sugar is surprising, but it is a blow at an innocent rival, and not a concession to the general consumer. If the rival i s crushed the old prices will be again imposed. This industry should prosper because: 1. I t is the means by which the people can subve rt a huge monopoly. 2. I t is a legitimate industry, brought to marvelous degree of perfection by American skill and ingenuity, and the people have a right to its full benefits. 3. The large.amount of capital invested which deserves protection Thirteen sugar factories have been erected in our state at a cost of $7,000,000. Next year the number of factories will be increased to twenty. There are now growing 60,000 acres of beets in our state. 4. I t is the money getting crop for our farmers. Last year there were paid to Michigan farmers $1 600,000 for sugai beets. I n Bay county in 1900 the mortgages on fifty-one farms were paid off by money received for sugar beets. The price of farm lauds,, near sugar factories has increased by 15 to $10 an acre. 5. I t is a borne industry, and tne benefits abide with our people. 6. I t is the natural antagonist of monopoly, and by i t s very nature is incapable of formiug a trust of any kind. • 7. • I t is the only great manufacturing industry in which the farmer must secure his share of profits.

Dodo is tbe Portuguese name for simpleton, and It is given to the silliest bird that ever lived; Three hundred years ago, when the Portuguese first visited the island of Mauritius, they found a large number of these birds. They were about the size of a large swan, blackish gray in color and having only a bunch of feathers in place of a tall and little, useless wings. More stupid and foolish birds could not be imagined. They ran about making a silly, hissing noise like a goose, rnd the sailors easily knocked them over with their paddles. They couldn't fly, they couldn't swim, they couldn't run at any great speed, and, as for fighting, they were the greatest cowards In the world. They were much too stupid to build a nest and so they dropped an egg and went off to let it hatch as best it could. A Pattl Satire. During one of Adelina Pattl's last tours in tbe United States, the following preliminary notice was published by a western editor: Mme.

All those who expect to die before the year after next will do well to hear the human nightingale on this trip, for Patti never says goodby twice In the same year, and to die without hearing her strike her high two thousand dollar note is to seek the hereafter in woeful ignorance of tbe heights to which a woman with good lungs, a castle in Wales and who only uses one kind of soap can* soar when she tries."

"I am to blame In this matter; or, at least, I was the innocent cause," continued the King of Aleppo, addressing Ben Hadad and Ezabel. "It was I who gave to Horam the evidence upon which he condemned his wife. I supposed the guilt of the lady Helena was positive, as I had the Information from officers who would not lie; and I felt it my duty to acquaint the husband with the circumstances. On my way back to my capital, while stopping in Balbcc, I gained information which assured me that the Queen of Damascus was innocent; and immediately I sent back two of iny officers to convey intelligence thereof to Horam. But those, messengers never, reached their destination. They must have I pursued my course homeward, and amid the duties of my realm, the thing passed from my mind. Yesterday I aaw Horam for the first time in threennd- twenty years; and last evening I revealed to him the fact that his first and best beloved wife, Helena, was wrongfully accused—that she was pure and true^ When t^4s-tguth-bursLupQBhlm, his grief overcame him, and I feared that the shock would kill him." VAye," cried Horam, starting up again, "it did almost kill me; for Helena was my first love, and her place was never refilled. O, my brother what can I do?" •Do wh*t is right," replied Omar, taking Horam'S outstretched hand. "Be a man, and let the heart assert its sway. Remember that you did the first great deed of wrong; and that all tho other evil has flowed out from that one unfortunate act." The king of Damascus stood for a moment with his head bowed upon Omar's shoulder, and his hand still in Omar's grasps Then he started up< and his countenance had changed, "By the blood of my heart," he exclaimed, "the wrong shall not grow deeper against me! What, ho! Without, there! Slaves!—attend me!" The executioners chanced to be nearest, and they answered the call. v "Bel-Dara, strike those irons from that man's limbs! Strike off every bond, and set him free! If you harm him as much as the prick of a rosethorn, your life shall answer Tor it!" . The executioner stopped to ask no questions—he did not even stop to wonder at tho order; but he proceeded to the work, and in a very few minutes the prisoner was free. Then the king started down fftm the throne, and advanced to where the freed man stood. "My son," he said, extending both his hands, "the truth has come so naked and so plain, that there is no room for doubt; • and I now see that you bear upon your face the features of your noble mother—God pardon me for the wrong I was led to do her!

Julian had no power to resist the appeal; and as the old king tottered forward the son supported him upon his boBom, and sustained him in the embrace of his stout arms. And yet Julian was not content. Hla face wore etfH a cloud; and there was trouble in his heart What could it mean?" Horam feared that His son could not quite love him.

By A m y Randolph. ojojoo<^jo;o;ojo;o^^ Bentley Grange was a pretty place at all times of the year, but loveliest of all when the reapers were at work in the harvest fields and the yellow light of the October sun turned the woodland paths to enchanted aisles. A long, low structure of warmly tinted red brick, with mullioned windows, velvet-smooth sweeps of lawn and box borders, which gtood-up-Hke-waHs of solid emerald on each side of the path, it had a savor of the antique about it, which one seldom sees in an American houtse. And old Brande Bentley, walking up and down in the mellow sunshine, between the walls of black-green box, with his eyes bent on the ground, and -his-hands clasped behind—his- track," corresponded well with the Grange. Suddenly a cheerful footstep rang on the stone terrace steps—tho sound of a clear, flute-like whistle rose above the click of the distant mowing machine, and Harry Wade, the old man's nephew, stood like an incarnation of youth and sunshine before him. "Uncle," he cried merrily, "you've got the prettiest place in the world here." Mr. Bentley took out his bis, oldfashioned silver watch. "Two o'clock," said he, "and tho bank don't close until four. Humph! It appears to ine, young man, that you don't stick very close to business hours!" "Like a limpet, uncle," said Harry, "and juet for today. Will Caryl has come to act as a substitute, for I really wanted to see you, uncle." "Hunph!" again commented Mr. Bentley. "You're very fond of me— just of late!" "I'm always fend of ycu. Uncle Brande," said Harry, gravely, "but I've something to tell you." "Some scrape you've got into," said Mr. Bentley. "Nothing of the sort, sir!" "Want to borrow money, perhaps!" "Upon my word, no!" "You've fallen in love with some girl, then!" . "You are right this time, uncle," paid Harry, laughing and coloring; "and, of course, I have come directly to you to tell you of my good fortune. It ia little Bessie Bird!" "A milliner's apprentice!" snarled the old bachelor. "If she choos€3 to help her mother along oy trimming hats in her ar.nt'3 millinery rooms, I see nothing derogatory in that," said H-irry, valiantly. "A mere child of seventeen!" "But I don't want an' old lady of forty-seven!" "HumphJ" growled Mr. Bentley. <cWhat do either of you know of life?" "Not much, to.be sure, uncle, as yet,' admitted the young lover, "but we think we can easily learn—together." "And where do you think the napkins and tcbkcloths and bread and butter and rent and water taxes are to come from?" sardonically Inquired Brande Bentley. "I have my salary, IJncle Brando,' said Harry, "and Beasie has been educated to bo very economical." "I'll have nothing to say to such "But, Uncle Brando, all we wart i s — " • .

"And to lose all that money, j u s t — " . "Just for love and you," archly interrupted Harry.

"Ycsi-sir," *aid Bessie. "It will be of no use," said he, curtly. "My opinions on the subject of his marriage remain unchanged." "But mine do not," said Bessie.

And the doctor told me, as kindly as he could, that these are but the precursors of total blindness. So, of course, all is at an end between Harry and me. Will you please tell him this?

"Have you been endeavoring^to persuade her to throw me over?" "No, boy—no," said the old man, and he told him all. "I am bound to say that the girl has behaved very well," said he. "Shall you give her up?" "No! Never!" shouted Harry, with pale face and tightly clenched hand. "Never! If she was dear to me before, she shall be doubly treasured and sacred now—my little smitten lamb—my drooping, white lily-bud! I will never give her up while we both live!"
