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

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

Would to God that, before the now opening year has dosed the earth might cease to tremble with the last cannonade and the tteavens cease to be lighted up with •ay more conflagrations of homesteads tntd the foundries that make swords be turned into blacksmith shops for making plowshares. The front door of a stupendous year 9tas opened. Before many of you there will be twelve months of opportunity Cor making the world better or worse, feappier or more miserable. Let us tray that it may be a year that will Indicate the speedy redemption of the hemisphere. Would to God that this «sdgkt Be the year in which the three sereai instruments now chiefly used for Hssonlar purposes might be put to their vansgMtest use in the world's evangel!- satoa—the telegraph, the telephone, the phonograph! Electricity has such psftent tongue, such strong arm, such swift wing, such lightning foot, that It occurs to me that It may be the angel that 8L John saw and heard in apocatyptic vision when he started back cried out, "I saw another angel in the midst of heaven having -*tke everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people." They were tongues of sire that sat on the heads of the disciples at the Pentecost, and why not the world called to God by tongue of , electric fire? Prepare your batteries, sad make ready to put upon the wires the world-wide message of "whomsoever wiH." Furthermore, I notice that January %as been honored with the nativity of of the greatest among the na- Bdmund Burke was born this the marvel and glory of the legal world; Penelon of the religious world; Benjamin Franklin of the phileBopbtc world; William H. Prescott of tike historic world, Sir John Moore of thtn military world; Robert Burns of the jpeetlc world; Polycarp of the martyr ^sjorld; Peter the Great of the kingly -world; Chrysostom of the sacred rhet- «oric world; Daniel Webster of the statesman world. In this month at Hampton court, 1604, a new translation of the Holy Bote was ordered. King James apfteiated a commission of fifty-four men, Afterward reduced to forty-seven. Those men presented the world with a Bsbfe that held mighty sway among the cations for more than 250 years, the revision of the Bible thirty years ago being founded on that revision, which began under King James of 1604. The old translation, made more than two and a half 'centuries ago, sustained the martyrs in the fire, illumined the homesteads of many generations, was the book that was read aloud at the embarkation of the forefathers from Delft Haven, cheered the weary voyagers on the Mayflower, comforted them in the wilds of America, was the book on which the first American concress, as well as the last, took the oath oad with which all the presidents of the United States have solemnized their entrance into office, is the book that has advanced the world's civilization as no other influence ever could, mmA which now lies on the table of -snore homes than any book that was wvec printed since Johann Gutenberg Jwrrowed money of Martin Brother and John Faust to complete the art of •rintlng. What a January in the wttrM'e history—the January that gave 4h* ages a book like that! According to my text, "This month ariaali be unto yon the beginning of sBOnths; It shall be the first month of the year to yon." Through it make ^separation for- the other eleven jsontfcs. What you an* in January SB you will probably be in all the other months of the year. Prepare for them neither by apprehension no* too sanguine anticipation. Apprehension of misfortune will only deplete your body and gloom your soul and unfit ydu for any' trouble that may; , cdme. On the^ other hand, if yob^apect too much, disappointment will be y a m . Cultivate faith in God and the feeling that be will do for you that which is best, and you will be ready for either sunshine or shadow. The other eleven months of the year 1902 will not all be made up of gladness or of grief. The cup that is all made up of sweetness 'is insipid. Start right, and you will be 'apt to keep right Before the ship captain gets out of the New York Narrows he makes up his mind what sea route he will take. While you are in the Narrows of this month make up your mind which way you will sail and unroll your chart and set your compass and have the lifeboats well placed on the davits and be ready for smooth voyage all the way across or the swoop of a Caribbean whirlwind. Behold also in this January month the increasing daylight. Last month the sun went down at 4:30, but in this month the . days are getting longer. The sunrise and the sunset are farther apart. Sunlight instead of artificial light, and there is for our dear old battered earth growing light. "The day-springs from vn &igh- hath visltod us." We uhall have more light for the home, mom light for the church, more light for the nation, more light for tae worlds-light of intelligence, light of comfort, light of rescue, light of evangelisation, light from the face of God, light from the throne. The day enlarges very little, and the reign of sunlight is not much increased, but do not despise the minute of increasing light each day of this January, and do not despise the fact that more light is coming for the church and world, though it come slowly. As we are now In this season gradually going toward the longest day of next summer, so our world is moving forward toward the long day of emancipation and Christly dominion. It may now in the state and the church and the world be January cold, but we are on the way to July harvests and September orchards. Do not read your almanac backward. Do not go out and ask the trees hung_ with__icicles by January storm whether they will ever again blossom in May and leaf in June. We are moving toward the world's redemption. The frozen tears will melt, the river of gladness will resume Its flow, the crocus will come up at the edge of the snowbank, the morning star will open the door for the day, and the armies of the world will "ground arms" all around the world. The January of frost will be abolished, and the balm and radiance of a divine atmosphere will fill the nations. If you do not see it and hear it for yourself, I think at the utmost your grandchildren will see and hear it. The heavens will take part in the conflict between righteousness and sin, and that will settle It, and settle it aright, and settle it forever. In this very month of January, 1643, two months after a great battle had been fought between the army of the king and the army of parliament, shepherds and travelers between 12 and 1 o'clock at night heard the battle repeated in the skies—the sound of drums, the clash of arms, the groans of dying men, and then the withdrawal of the scene into complete silence. These shepherds and travelers repeated in the neighboring towns what they heard, and large numbers of people, expecting that all was a deception, went out on the following night, when they heard the same uproar and tumult in the heavens—the two armies in battle. The king, hearing of this seeming combat in the heavens, sent embassadors to inquire into the mystery. In the night they also heard the contlict and came back to the king and took solemn oath as to this mysterious occurrence. Whether these shepherds and travelers and embassadors of the king were in delu&lon I cannot say, but this I know—that the forces of God and the forces of Satan are now in combat, the heavens as well as the earth in struggle as to who shall win this world for blessedness or woe, and, as the armies of God are mightier than the ymies diabolic, we know who will triumph, and we have a right to shout the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ The King of Kings, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Joshua and Have lock, leads In the conflict. I have no fear about the tremendous issue. My only fear is that we will not be found in the ranks and fully armed to do our part in this campaign of the eternities. Again, I remark that the month of January has seen many of the most stupendous events in the world's history and a rocking of cradles and the digging of graves that have affected nations. In this month American independence was declared, followed by Lexlngtou and Bunker Hill and Monmouth and Valley Forge and Yorktown. January saw the proclamation that abolished American slavery. Though at the time there were tw* mighty opinions and they were exact-, ly onposedrrthoag who. liked the doeuv ment and those who diaBkf^itr-thert is but one opinion now, tndttf It wen put to vote in all the stale* of th4 south, **«hall slavery be r#©stated r< ib&4 would be an overwhelming vote of "No." The pen with whlph.the document was signed and the inkstand that contained the Ink are relies as sacred and valuable as the original Declaration of Independence, «w&a all its erasures and interlineations.' ^The institution which for seventy or eighty years i e p t the nation in angry controversy- has disappeared, and nothing Is left to fight about The north and the south today are in as complete accord as over were flute and cornet In the same orchestra. The north has built its factories on the banks of the Chattahoochee and the Roanoke, and the south has sent many of its ablest attorneys into our northern courthouses, its most skillful physicians; into our sick rooms, Its wisest bankers into our exchanges, its most consecrated ministers into our pulpits—all this the result of the proclamation of Jan. 1, 1863. Rev. Solomon Spaulding was for some time in poor health, and to while away the time he wrote a preposterous religious romance. One Joseph Smith somehow got hold of that book before it was printed and published it as a revelation of heaven, calling it the "Book of Mormon," and from that publication came Mormonism,the monster abomination of the earth. Rev. Solomon Spaulding might have been better I engaged than writing that book of' falsehood*—However much - time we have, we never have time to do wrong. Harness January for usefulness, and it will take the following months in its train. Oh, how much you may do for God between now and the 31st of next December I The beautiful "weeping willow" tree was. Introduced by Alexander Pope into England from a twig which the poet found in a Turkish basket of figs. He planted that twig, and from it came all the weeping willows of England and America; and your smallest planting of good may under God become an Influence continental and international. Now that the train of months has started, let it pass, January followed by February, with longer days, and March, with its fierce winds; and April with its sudden showers; and May, with its blossoming orchards; and JuneT with its carnival of_flowersL andj July, with its harvests; and August, with its sweltering heats; and September, with its drifting leaves; and October, with its frosts; and November, with its Thanksgiving scenes; and December, with its Christian hilarities. March on, O battalion of the months, in the regiments of the years and the brigades of the centuries! March on and join the months and years and centuries already paused until all the rivers of time have emptied into the ocean of eternity, but none of all the host ought to render higher thanks tc God or take larger comfort or mak€ more magnificent resolve than this the flrst month of the new year. But what fleet foot hath the months and years! People lightly talk about how they kill time. Alas, it dies soon enough without killing. And the longer we live the swifter it goes. William C. Bryant said an old friend of his declared that the going of time is like the drumming of the partridge or muffled grouse In the woods, falling slow and distinct at flrst and then follow* Ing each other more and more rapidly till they end at last in a whirring sound. But Dr. Young, speaking ol the value of time, startingly exclaimed, "Ask deathbeds!" wiqwiiiiTjYiwiHiiTi; r* *oloatl*t's alwpto ExplaoaUom of Caeses * aaA affocto of mates. , j -- -• • The pbigve of/p-day is the linaajte-- ecendant of that which. was cWarebT away from London by the great fire";:¾]posBsss a distinct individuality represents one of many , epidemic* which history teaches us devastated Europe **m:iMMM *fcfc itislttsabolished by the disappearance of the dirt which forms their soil and' breeding place. We know the germ, of the plague. It was discovered by Kitasato In 1894, and independently in the same year by Yerslp, whose protective serum is Used as a preventive. The germ is a somewhat shortened and rounded bacillus, that flourishes a,t a temperature approaching that of the blood. Apparently the germ does not multiply by giving off "spores" or seedlike bodies, but by simple division of the parent germs iuto others. It is easily killed. A temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit destroys it quickly, and acids also act efficiently in this direc- ] tion. Yersin found the plague germ living in the soil in affected places. In the earth it appears to be non-virulent, but placed In another environment, say the animal body, it speedily develops into disease-producing powers. Cows, sheep, pigs, cats, and, of course, rats, are affected by it, but the dog is said to enjoy an immunity from the attention? of this bacillus. Gaining access to the body, through the skin for the most part, and probably through some abrasioiL or wound* the bacilli make for the glands, and as these swell an enlarge, constituting what doctors ca)l "buboes," the disease has become known as the "bubonic plague." The fleas which infest the rat are also credited with a share in the diffusion of the ailment, for, charged with the microbes, these parasites will infect other rats, or may possibly inoculate man. Hence the crusade against rats which has been ordered and advised. It may be added that in one form of the plague the lungs are liable to be specially involved, and the coughed-up matter in that case is highly infectious.— London Chronicle. \ attchlttr try/' tiid an old railroad man, "la the* .different inacarnes^l.builtjen exactly same site and ol the s a a r material; Take locomotives, for instance.

Cox, Wis., Jan. 6.—With Kidney disease so bad that he could hardly walk across the room for pain, Frank M. Russell of this place was a man greatly to be pitied. He tired out with tSie slightest exertion and in spite of all the doctors could do for him be was growing gradually worse. He had tried many medicines and treatments without benefit, but recently he read in a newspaper abont Dddd's Kidney Pills, and these helped him from the very flrst dose. He took several boxes before he was completely cured, but now he is well and strong as ever he was, and feels very grateful to Dodd's Kidney Pills for his restoration to good hearth. Lavlah Young VandorblU. Young Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt spends money with a hand almost as lavish as that of the nobJ.es of the Roman decadence. On a recent recordbreaking coaching trip that he made from New York to this city he had his own photographer—a youth in an odd gray hat—along with him, and he and his equipage were photographed besides by newspaper men at every stop that was made along, the line. Immediately after the trip Mr. Vanderbilt requested a firm of advertising solicitors in New York to ascertain the names of all the newspaper men who had photographed him, to obtain from these men prints of all the negatives which they had made, and then to order three dozen mounted pictures from each negative that was good. A photographer of this city who had made three negatives got an order from the firm of solicitors for nine dozen pictures at $6 a dozen. One day's work filled the order, and he earned that day $54. He says there were at least seventy- five pictures made of Mr. Vanderbile on his trip, and at least fifty of these were good. Therefore he estimates that, what with the bill of the advertising solicitors, this great ordering of photographs by the young millionaire has coat him fully $1,000.— Philadelphia Record. Agod Woman Commit* Suleldo. Flint, Mich., dispatch: Mrs. Clarinda Chatfleld, an old resident of the county, ended her life In Flushing by hanging. She went to her bedroom in the house of her son, Daniel Chatfleld, and looped a handkerchief about her neck and over a bedpost, afterward sitting down and slowly choking to death. She was 76 years old. Loss of her property 1B said to have caused her to grow despondent It was learned that she had clandestinely purchased her own casket and stored it In Mundy townsBTnr ~ Brooklyn. N. T., Jan. 6th.—A very timely and practical suggestion comes from a physician of this city. He says, "Take Garfield Tea, the Herb Medicine. It is especially needed at this season when the system is apt to be out of order from eating: rich food. This wonderful remedy cleanses the system and regulates the liver, kidneys, stomach and bowels. It is simple, pure and effective, and Is good for young and old." Found a Duck Inside a risk. The remarkable discovery of a full grown duck In the stomach of a halibut Is reported by Captain Kilgore ot the United States revenue cutter Rush, now stationed at Sitka. The fish, an unusually large one, was caught by one of the quartermasters of the cutter Nov. 13. In a letter dated Nov. 14,.Capt. Kilgore describes the landing of the fish and the discovery of the bird as follows: "It has been the habit of the crew when the cutter comes into the harbor to set a troll near the vessel for halibut, which are found in these waters weighing from 50 to 76 pounds. When Quartermaster Pedersen, an enthusiastic fisherman, hauled In his line yesterday morning, he was rewarded with a fine halibut weighing 170 pounds. The landing naturally produced quite a commotion on board. But the surprising feature occurred when the halibut was opened in process of distribution to the messes. A blue bill duck as large as a mallard was found tn his stomach in a perfect state of preservation, its flat bill, feet and feathers all in place as in life, The; fish, evidently, not satisfied with his meal, feathers not being very digestible, came along, took the hook baited with salt herring, which resulted in his capture. I have seen thousands ol fish openedVfrom Bmelt to shark, and knew that sea birds caught ash, but this is the flrst instance in my ex* perience when the order was reversed/ and a duck was found in a fish." [ Country Boy Squelches City Uncle. He was a typical small boy, who lived in a well-to-do town in the western part of the state, with pride in his native home, and a vague idea that city people considered, all outsiders as small potatoes, and few in a hill at that. Now, when his mother, brought him to Milwaukee to visit her brother, he held his head proudly and intended to convey the idea that he and his were of some importance. His uncle took him to see the different big buildings, including the Pabst theater, the library, postofflce and the various churches. One Sunday they were seated in St. Pauls*. The mother turned her head to take in the beauty of the pictured windows with their pretty colorings, and secretly wished her lot had fallen in the city, but the boy sat bolt upright as though such surroundings were very common to him. When they reached home his uncle remarked, "Well, Tommy, the church is something grand compared with your buildings in C—." With an impatient toss of his head, Mr. Impertinence announced: "It wouldn't make a woodbox for our Baptist church."—Milwaukee Sentinel.

In Austria pawnbroking is in the hands of private persons, except in the capital, where the emperor, since the time of Joseph II., has been the pawnbroker- general.

Against suph arguments even the thin voice hesitated about flinging a missile. Woman-like, she changed her ground aafti a clamor of tongues filled the room.

"If it ts-a ifair question, what were those troublesome'thoughts?" "I don't Imagine I could manage more than one. I never venture into the plural with thought.

"But you do." She paused to pall /her pluck together, "You do use scented soap that is outlandish. It smells to heaven." The big man's targe composure wilted.

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

Nearly four thousand people assembled in the auditorium to hear his address on "Industrial Education at the South." He gave a history of his own life and an account of the growth of his school which now has 1,200 students, 86 instructors, 52 buildings and 2,300 acres of land. The school prepares its students for the various trades and industries in addition to their literary education.

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

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

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

H e bad passed fully half the time to tfie dark cells, and n i l outbreaks and wfeipplngf ran up to thirty or more. I t w a s after looking over tbls record that the ward' en went to t h e convict's cell and said: "Renfew. I am tired of the way things are going. I am here to run tbls prison according to rules, and you have either got to come to time or I'll make a jabbering Idiot of you. You give me more trouble than all the other men put together." "Listen to me," calmly replied the ronvlct. "I was.not guilty of the robbery, i my arrest and conviction werp a blunder. I told you so the day I entered here, but you sneered a t me. 1 bate you, and you bate me. I l l do all I can to keep you in hot water. And as for your threats and punishments, I defy you." A week later Renfew beaded a mutiny that was quickly suppressed, and then It was whispered about the prison that he was dead—yielding up his life under punishment. This was not true, however, though he was close to death's door when tbe warden's hand was stayed. He was sent to the hospital with a spark of life left, and It was three long months before he could limp about. His ugliness and obstinacy came back as be grew better, but the doctor shielded him and carried him along until one day there was such a flagrant breach of discipline that it had to be officially reported. That meant a new punishment on top of the half healed scars, but when the guards came to take him from the room _Ren-_ few was not.to be found. He had in some manner passed out of the prison with a crowd of visitors. There was a hue and cry at once, and the warden was among those who took up the chase. The convict had only half an hour's start, but luck was with him. They beat up the town and its suburbs in vain. Fifty men covered the roads and traversed the fields, but the fugitive seemed to have taken wings. A fortnight before the escape the f> warden had sent his two motherless children to pass a few weeks in the country with an aunt. On the morning of the second day of the search he drove out on this road and at high noon was within a mile of his little ones.

What will the coryphee do then, poor thing? It will require several days and a good deal of figuring to determine which of the multi-millionaires of t h e country made the best Christmas record. When he makes a speech the kaiser trusts to the inspiration of the m o - ment, and nervous German statesmen trust t o the expiration of the m o - ment. Women will soon be writing all t h e novels, and there won't be any love in t h e things. Such is W. L. Alden's prophecy. Nobody will survive to read them.- The Gram* Raplda Bribery. It is announced that Stllson V. Mo- Leod, one of the men indicted by the grand jury in the bribery case in which former City Attorney Laut K. Salsbury figured, has agreed to turn state's evidence. When Salsbury w a s convicted of the charge of receiving $75,- 000 bribe mouey it w a s confidently predicted that there would be a "break." McLeod was indicted with City Attorney Laut K. Salsbury, Thomas E. Mc- (iarry, Henry A. Taylor, of New York, and others for conspiracy in the attempt to foist a $4,000,000 water contract upon tho city. McLeod confessed his share In the affair to the prosecuting attorney last Tuesday, and has now agreed to turn state!* evidence in the trials of Mctinrr-y and Taylor. T h e case against McLeod is to be dropped in consideration of his action. The day seems almost at hand when the capitalist and the laborer, with the assistance of the conspicuous citizen, will be able to settle all their disputes in times of peace. A Minneapolis flour mill broke all records by turning out 12,464 barrels of flour one day this week. The pessimistic foreign manufacturer may loaf and invite his soul over that item. Minneapolis Journal: Mrs. Bradley- Martin has been refused admittance to the coronation. When Mrs. B.-M. has a function, it i s plain to be foreseen that Edward and the queen will not be invited. Ireland continues to hold the European record for low percentage of crimes. The Irish laugh and the Irish joke are great safety valves for impulses which are often dangerous when repressed. French army officers are still insisting that Prance can at any time invade both England and the United States with disastrous results, but, with their usual penchant for bungling, they place the disastrous results on the wrong side. The Grand Raplda Scandal; Following the confession of Stllson V. MacLeod in the water scheme bribery case, came another sensation Saturday when ex^SenatorArthur S, White and Alexander Kennedy, bondsmen for MacLeod and Lant K. Salsbury in the indictment by the federal grand jury for violation of the United States banking laws, surrendered both MacLeod and Salsbury to the court. MacLeod had no trouble in securing new bondsmen and shortly after the surrender. ex-Postmaster Oeo. G. Briggs and Walter € . Winchester, wealthy lumbermen of this city, signed his bond for .$5,000. Salsbury w a s less fortunate and it was several hours before he produced new sureties. John W. McGrnth and David W o l f finally consented to become responsible for his .appearance In the sum of $.~>,000 and signed the bonds. Prosecuting Attorney Brown served notice on Thomas F. MeGarry's attorneys that he will be ready to take up his case for trial Monday. January To. and it is expected the trial will begin on that date. Notice was also served on Senator Ntchols' attorneys that the case of subornation of perjury landing against their client growing out of the Salsbury trial will be taken, up Immediately after the hearing to show cause in the Supreme Court. Wo» He Poisoned t The examination of the coroner's jury thus far into the sudden death of Heldlecka. the Bohemian sewing machine agent of St. Joseph, shows that his death was not a natural ono. The best physicians of tho city are inclined to believe that his death resulted from poison. Further tests are in progress and In the meantime the widow and children ot the man are closely watched. An effort on the part of the widow to leave the city was thwarted. Mrs. Ileidlecka admits that 11 years ago her second husband, his mother and her daughter died, all within one week and all suddenly. She w a s charged with knowing something about the affair and upon her plea of Insanity, was confined'iu the insane asylum at Elgin for a terni. Upon her release from ihat institution she married .Ileidlecka. A French savant who has caught and tried a new microbe has convicted it of the charge of producing baldness. If there i s any other form of turpitude which cannot be traced to the numerous and perniciously active microbe family it is because the scientists have not had time to devote their attention to it. Russia, it i s understood, has a bill against Turkey which it will now take measures to collect. If the Sultan is as obstinate a s he w a s in relation to the French bill, and Russia 1B afforded an excuse for sending a fleet into Turkish waters, then the Franco- Turkish incident will not be a circumstance to be compared with the Russo- Turkish episode. Tlic Dnrnnd Robbery. The robbery of Obcrt Bros.1 store in Durand is still a mystery. May Halpin, one of the three sisters whom the public believed would not have been implicated in the robberies, seems to have the burden to bear, just because the nightwatchman said he saw her enter the bank at a late hour. With a nervous disposition she dreaded the publicity and could not face the newspaper reports. She w a s taken to her heme at Duttield and is being cared for by her father ami mother. She has expressed a desire to enter the convent at Monroe. May Ilalpin is several years the senior of her sisters Anna and Alice, and has tried to he a mother to them since the three lived in Durand alone. It ended by the girls quarreling. it is good t o hear that the Jungle Books will not be dramatized. They would lose by it.

Novy. of the University i of Michigan, has made public the re- , suit of his struggle to Ami a perfect germicide. Ho has, It is claimed, discovered an organic peroxide which is absolutely destructive of organic life, and which can be taken into the system by human beings with perfect impunity. -A number of experiments were described 1>y Prof. Novy to dem onstrate the power of his germicide, which he oalls "benzol." Germs to the multitude of one billion in saliva were immediately killed. The throat of a diphtneretic dog w a s sprayed with it, and the dog w a s cured more speedily than by the anti-toxin treatment. This drug is in the form of volatile crystals, which are soluble in water.

It is known that there were at least five intended vlcthns lu this and neighboring cities who were to have been "plucked,** bTrt~tinv « t - posure in the Raquet case disarranged the plans of the plotters.

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

Doe* Germany Seek Troublet Nine out of ten naval officers on duty in Washington believe that, if Germany ever raises her flag in Venezuela the emperor will never leave until his soldiers and Bailors are driven out. On account of rijjld instructions against interviews, it is impossible to got any expressions, but. this represents the sentiment. There is more than a little j suppressed excitement in army and navy circles on account of the prospect of Germany landing sailors to collect the money "due the emperor. There, is a conviction nmonjr many in the navy that Germany has a chip on her shoulder and is waiting for the I'nSW States to knock it off. This impression undoubtedly is gained from the intercourse of American-officers with the Germans and with the naval officers of other nations who meet the.Germans on sea and land. j"- '.in" i r • I i naiiijmniisa Agnes Marcy, of Washiiiftcm, B .

"Knocking" the Naval Re»erre. The naval ring has been knocking the Michigan Naval Reserves who served on the Yosemite in the Spanish war, and who feel they are entitled to share in the distribution of service medals, and the ring's motive is now declared to be quite apparent. The regular naval force, like the regular army force. has something akin to contempt for volunteer forces. The naval ring, which comprises regulars only, doea not want even a little bit of the glory the navy achieved in the war to go to the naval reserves. The ring. It is asserted, will continue to exert its inriuence to prevent Michigan men from jrertmg medals. As a part of their tactics they are insinuating that the Yosenilte's crew didn't do anything to entitle thein to medals. The Alaxkan Boundary. It is admitted that the Alaskan iKMtulary question is the most difficult problem that faces Hay and Pauneo- 1'ote.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THURSDAY, JAN. 16,1902. Some Changes in The School Laws. " Several important changes were made in the school laws at the last session of the legislature. The county school commissioner's term is made four years instead of two. The compulsory school age is in the ungraded districts from 8 to 15. The February examination is abolished. Teachers must be at least 18 years of age. The director must provide the teacher with a copy of the school census, for the district and pach month tne teacher must report the names of sucu pupils of school age in the district as do not attend school. (This would probably mean those between the ages 8 and 15 years.) The truant officer is required to give but one notice to pareut9 whose children are not in school if at any time thereafter the same^ children are not in school, he may at once proceed against said parents or guardians. Holders of slate certificates must file a copy of the same with the commissioner of the county in which they expect to teach. Rural high schools may be established in certain townships, which contain no village or city high schools. Any person who is a graduate of any kindergarten training —school-approved by the snperin tendent of public instruction and who holds a teacher'b certificate or diploma from any high school having a four year's course shall be legally qualified to teach in kindergarten departments and to draw public money. The district board shall provide water supply for pupils. TO C n r e a Cold i n One D a y T a k e Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All d r u g g u t s refund the money if it fails to cur9. E W.

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

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

I once bad a trainer, an, did Irltbmaiv who liad served in a British regiment in India and who knew the ways of tigers in every detail, He taught' three of them to do more work to the show arena than I have ever seen done by tigers, I have seen him sittingdown between t w o of them at rest times during rehearsals and examining their claws to see if any of them were sore or split. Any one who has ever tried that with even a house cat knows that it strikes the feline nature as an unwarrantable familiarity, but they never did more than show their teeth and whine, and that in half playfulness. One day he got very drunk. I had never known lilm to transgress before. Before he was noticed on his return to the cage he bod" gone In with his tigers and fallen in a heap on the floor. The other keepers tried to take him out of the cage, but to have done so would have meant a bitter and bloody flght with the three Rtriped ones. ^They -guarded him all night in his drunken slumber. The next time he put them Jo work, however, they balked, and he could neither persuade nor drive them.

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

"I cannot eat these oysters," said the German slowly, without raising his eyes to the anxious waiter. The mar seized the plate and bore it out of sight in an instant. He was a new waiter, and it was with much trepidation that he laid the second supply of oysters before this discriminating patron. "I cannot eat these oysters," said the professor after one glance at the plate which had been set before him. " I - I think you'd find them all right, sir," faltered the waiter. "I don't think there's anything wrong about them, sir." He looked miserable, hav ing been told that the German w a s a frequent and valued patron of the restaurant and must be well and quickly served. "I cannot eat these oysters," announced the professor for the third time, with the calmness of chorus in a tragedy, "because as yet you have furnished me no fork."—Youth'? Companion.

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

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

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

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

'I To said: "Xo. Ry May I fear we shall have c;x-h a smallpox scare and epidemic that London will be quarantined when King E d w a r d Is crowned." T h a t this is by no means a pessimistic forecast is evidenced by the {act that the line referred to began thl« week to have tbe crews of its ships vaccinated prior to leaving Louden for New York. Other lines are following its example, fearing that, any day, the American authorities may place London- shipping under an embargo on account of smallpox.

This is evidently put forward as ii feeler of public sentiment. It is suggested that one reason for this selection is tlie fact that C'owles has u personal acquaintance with Kim; Ed- < ward. There would be m a n y heart- V burnings in the naval circle if ail the officers of higher grades were passed over and one who has not reached a captain's rank selected.

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

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

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

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

Well, it began to get dark, but w a s not so dnrk when the men lined up again but that I could see Bannard in I position. But somehow he looked tall-' er thau usual, and there was a peculiar motion about him that I had never noticed before.

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

Great guns, how he did play! l i e w a s at the front, at the flank, in every scrimmage. In short, he was carrying the game far ( better than he had ever done before. Then came that celebrated run in which he dodged six men and, unguarded, carried the ball over the line twenty yards in front of his nearest follower for a touchdown. I watched to see him kick his goal, and what was my surprise to see another man do it for him. I asked what it meant and was told that he had gone under again. The game now was tied. When the men lined up again, I watched for Bannard. Sure enough, he w a s there, and after the kickoff did the same astonishing work as before. He scored t w o touchdowns, but by this time it was so dark that I could not see whp kicked them. However, they both failed, on account of the darkness. I suppose, leaving Yale ahead in the game. Before any more points could be scored Bannard suddenly disappeared from the field, and a substitute appeared in his place, a slow, bungling fellow, who lost for his college enough points to put Harvard again oven with Yale. There remained but live minutes of the three-quarters of an. hour allowed for tho half. At the kick off' Bannard, who 'was in his place, jumped fully ten foot, calight the ball and ran with it untight through the Harvard lines. It has bc.'n said that no human being could have got through that line as i t ' was I'hu-ed. Every gap w a s closed. One Harvard- mau swears that Ban- j Canada'* Banking Business.

TMC AX HEAD VVH10H FUIATO> AT ELISHA'S C O M M A S of to Show tho of Notable M tfce T«xt T h o Did Swisa." t. • • v. ;'•, it, WB, ay Loute Klopsch, N. T.) Washington, Jan. XI—In this dtscoars* Dr. &alnu»ge makes practical sssa, of aa occurrence In the orient walch has seldom attracted particular attention; text, II Kings, vi, 6, "The Iron did swim." A theological seminary in the valley «C palms, near the river Jordan, had feeeome so popular in the time of flUsfea, the prophet, that more accom- •sodations were needed for the stu- 4a«ts. The. classrooms and the dorsaitories must be enlarged or an en- ^tJrely now building constructed. What will they do? Will they send up to Jerusalem and solicit contributions for tads undertaking? Having raised the saoaey, will they send for cedars of tiebanon and marble from the quarries where Ahab got the stone for the pillars and walls of his palace? No; the students propose to build it themselves. All they ask is that Elisha, their professor and prophet, go along jvtth. them to the woods and boss the They start for 4he^woFk, EUshahis students. Plenty of lumber In those regions along the Jordan. The sycamores are attacked by Eliana's students, for they must have lumber for the new theological seminary. Crash $oes one of the trees and another and another. But something now happens so wonderful that the occurrence will tax the credulity i«f the ages, so wonderful that many :>stUI think it never happened at all. One of th£ students, not able to own . aa aat, mad borrows*! one. You must remember that while the ax of the olden time was much like our modern - ux, it differed in the fact that instead of the helve or handle being thrust Into a socket in the iron head the head of the ax was fastened on the handle ' <by a leathern thong, and so it might slip the helve. A student of the seminary was swinging his ax against one of those trees, and the ax head and the handle parted. Being near the riverside, the ax head dropped into the river and sank to the muddy bottom. ' Great was the student's dismay. If it bad been his own ax, it would have been bad enough, but the ax did not belong to him. He had no means to buy another for the kind man who had loaned It to him, but God helps the helpless, and he generally helps through some good and sympathetic soul, and in this case it was Elisha, who was in the woods and on the river bank at the time. He did not see the ax head fly off, and so he asked the student where It dropped. He was shown the place where it went down into the river. Then Elisha broke off a branch of a tree and threw it into ' the water, and the ax head rose from ' the depths of the river and floated to the bank, so that the student had just • to stoop down and take up the restored property. Now you see the meaning of my text, "The iron did swim." ;Suppos>e a hundred years ago some one %ad told people that the time would come when hundreds of thou- —sajHts~of~tons of iron would- float on *he Atlantic and Pacific—iron ships from New York to Southampton, from 'London to Calcutta, from San Francisco to Canton. The man making ^uch a prophecy would have been sent to an asylum or carefully watched as incompetent to go alone. We have all xa our day seen iron swim. Now, if man can make hundreds of tons of metal float, I am disposed to think that the Almighty could make an ax head float '"What," says some one, "would be l i e use of such a miracle?" Of vast, of Infinite, of eternal importance. Those students were preparing for the ministry. They had joined the theologfeal seminary to get all its advantages. They needed to have their faith strengthened; they needed to be persuaded that God can do everything; they needed to learn that God takes notice of little things; that there is no -emergency of life where he is not willing to help. I hear from different sources that there la a great deal of infidelity in souse of the theological seminaries of our day. We think that most of the so-called miracles of the Old and the ' New Testaments were wrought by natural causes. When^hose Infidels graduate from the theological seminary and take the pulpits of America as expounders of the Holy Scriptures, what advocates they will be of that •gospel for the truth of which the martyrs died! Would to God that some ireai revival of religion might sweep chiough all the theological seminaries <>f this land, confirming the faith of *fce coming expounders of an entire itfbte! A Furthermore, in that scene of the text God sanctions borrowing and sets tooth the ? importance of returning. Shore are times -when we have not only a right i» oorrow.-hut tt is * uuty Lord, how manifold a; a thy works! Ii to borrow. There A M times when we ought to lend, for Christ In his sermon on the' mount declared! "From him that would 'borrow of thee/ turn not thou away/' It is right that one borrow the means of getting an education, as the young student of my text borrowed the ax, It Is right to borrow means for the forwarding of commercial ends. We borrow time; we will ^borrow eternity, and'that constant borrowing implies a return. For what we borrow from God we must pay back in hearty thanks and Christian service, in improvement of ourselves and helpfulness for others. For what we borrow in the shape of protection from good government we must pay back in patriotic devotion. For what we borrow from our parents In their good example and their hard work wrought for us in our journey from cradle to manhood or womanhood for all the ages to come we ought to be paying back. The hallelujahs of heaven will be returned for crucifixion agony. Furthermore, let us admire these young men of Elisha's theological seminary for the fact that they were earning their own way. Those are the kind of men who know what education is worth and know how to use it. Those students in the valley of palms by the Jordan had a physical strength and hardihood that would help them in their mental and spiritual achievements.We who are toiling for the world's betterment need brawn as well as brain, strong bodies as well as illumined minds and consecrated souls. Let all those"who~~toil for therf education remember they are especially favored, and if things go against them and the ax head should fly the helve that very hinderment may some time turn out advantageously, as the accident by the river Jordan, which seemed to finish the young student's capacity to help build the new seminary, resulted in a splendid demonstration of the iwwer of Elisha's God to help any one who helps himself. No ax that was ever wielded has wrought so well as that ax, the handle and head of which parted. Notice, also, how God is superior to every law that he ha3 made, eveti the strongest law of nature, the law of gravitation. What a rebuke to those who reject miracles on the ground that they are contrary to nature, as though the law were stronger than the God who made the law! Again and again in Bible times was that law revoked. There Christ stood by his disciples on the Mount of Olives after his coming out of the sepulcher. No ladders let down for his ascension, but his feet lift from the hill, and he goes up until the curtain of cloud drops, and he is invisible. Law of gravitation again unharnessed. Enoch, Methuselah's father, escaping death, went up bodily and will have no need of resurrection. So will all the good who shall be still alive at the end of the world. They will not need wings. Every one of the millions of our planet who loved and served the Lord, if then alive, will "be caught up," as the Bible says, body as well as soul, the law of gravitation paralyzed. God mightier than any law he ever created. Oh, I like the miracles because they show God independent of everything. Notice also the divine power in the backwoods. Wonderful things were done at the cities of Jericho and Jerusalem and Babylon and Nineveh, and the great cities of our time have seen the divine power, but this miracle of my text was in the backwoods, far away from the city, in the lumber districts, where the students had gone to cut timber for the new theological seminary. And if this sermon shall come, as it will come, like my other sermons for the last thirty years, without missing a week, let me say to those far away from the house of God and in the mountain districts that my text shows the divine power in the backwoods. The Lord by every stream as he certainly was by the Jordan, on every mountain as surely as he was on Mount. Zion, on every lake as on Tiberias, oy every rock as by the one whose gushing waters slaked the thirst of the marching Israelites. Do not feel lonely because your nearest neighbor may be miles away, be-, cause the width of the continent may separate you from the place where your cradle was rocked and your father's grave was dug. Take your Bible out under the trees, if the weather will permit, and after you have listened to the solo of a bird in the treetops or the long' meter psalm of the thunder, read those words of the Bible, which must have been written out of doors: "The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted, where the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats and the rocks for the conies. Thou inakest darkness, and It Is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. The young lions roar after their prey and seek £helr mea^ from God. The sun arlsetb, they gather themselves together and lay them down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening. .0 wisdom hast thou made them all. Th« earth is full of thy riches." How d< you like that sublime pastoral? .. My subject also reminds us of tht importance of keeping our chief implement for work In good order. 1 think that young theological student on the banks of Jordan was to blame for not examining the ax before hi lifted it that day against a tree. He could in a moment have found out whether the helve and the head were firmly fastened. The simple fact was the ax was not in good order or the strongest stroke that sent the edge into the hard sycamore would not have left the implement headless. So God has given every one of us an ax with which to hew. Let us keep it in good order, having been sharpened by Bible study and strengthened by prayer. Your ax may be a pen or a type or a yardstick or a scales or a tongue which in legislative hall or business circles or Sabbath class or pulpit is to speak for God and righteousness, but the ax will not be worth much until it has been sharpened on the grindstone of affliction. But I have come to the foot of the Alps, which we must climb before we can see the wide reach of my subject See in all this theme how the impossibilities may be turned into possibilities. That ax head was sunken in the muddiest river that could be found. The alarmed student of Elisha may know where it went down and may dive for it, and perhaps fetch it up, but can the sunken ax head be lifted without a^hand thrust deep into the mud at the bottom 'bTTKei river? ~No, that is impossible. I admit, so far as human power is concerned, it is Impossible, but with God all things are possible. After the tree branch was thrown upon the surface of Jordan "the iron did swim." Some one asks me, "Did you ever see iron swim?" Yes, yes; many a time. I saw a soul hardened until nothing could make it harder. All styles of sin had plied that soul. It was petrified as to all fine feeling. It had been hardening for thirty years. It had gone into the deepest depths. K had been given up as lost. The father had given it up. The mother, the last to do so, had given it up. But one day in answer to some prayer a branch of the disfoliaged tree of Calvary was thrown into the dark and sullen stream, and the sunken soul responded toits pbwer"androse Intothe HghT, and, to the astonishment of the church and the world, "the iron did swim." I have seen hundreds of cases like that, When the dying bandit on the cross beside Christ's cross was converted. When Jerry McAuley, a ruffian graduate of Sing Sing prison, was changed into a great evangelist, so useful in reclamation of wandering meu and women that the merchant princes of New York established for him the Water Street and Cremorne missions and mourned at his burial, amid the lamentations of a city. When Newton, the blaspheming sailor, under the power of the truth was brought to Christ and became one of the mightiest preachers of the gospel that England ever saw. When John Bunyan, whose curses shocked even the profane of the fish market, was so changed in heart and life that he could write that wonderful dream, "The Pilgrim's Progress," in such a way that uncounted thousands have found through it the road from the "city of destruction" to the "celestial city." In all these cases I think iron was made to swim. I worship the God who can do the impossible. You have a wayward boy. Only God knows how you have cried over hlmJ You have tried everything for his reformation. Where is he now—in this city, in the country, or has he crossed the sea?;' "Oh," you say, "I do not know where he is. He went away in the sulks and did not say where he was going." You have about made up your mind that you wilt never hear from him again. Pretty hard pay he gives you for all your kindness and the nights you sat up with him when he was sick. Perhaps he struck you one day when you were trying to persuade him to do better. How different was the feeling of that hard flat against your face from his little hand in infancy patting your cheek! Father! Mother! That is an impossible that I would like to see God take hold of, of the conversion of that boy, for he will never be anything but a boy to you, though you should live to see him fifty years of age. Did you say his heart is hard? How hard? Hard as stone? "Yes," you say, "harder than that. Hard as iron." But here is a God who can lift the soul that has been deepest down. Here Is a God who can raise a soul out of, the blackeat depths of sin and wretchedness. Here is a God who can make Iron swim, the God of Elisha, the God of the young student that stood in dismay on the banks of the Jordan at the time of the lost ax, head. Lay hold ef the Lord in a prayer that will take no denial. CONOHKS*. <• in the senate Monday Nelsoa ef Mia* neaota called up tfae bill providing fer tht establishment of a department ol commerce. . He explained the necessity which, he said, existed for the passage of such a measure, and was piled with questions by several members. Tho bill finally went over, subject to call ] by Mr. Nelson. Mr. Teller insisted that as i s all probability the department would grow to be bigger than any other we now have, the bill should not be put through hurriedly. There was a sharp controversy In the senate executive session over the confirmation of S. G. Sharp as marshal for the new eastern district of Kentucky. The two senators from Kentucky, Deboe, republican, and Blackburn, democrat, took opposing positions. It was stated on behalf of the committee on the judiciary, which reported the nomination, that the committee had discovered nothing derogatory to Mr. Sharp's character. The nomination was confirmed by a vote of 33 to 17. The Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill was received from the house and referred to the committee on interoceanic canals. The house spent the day in general discussion of the pension appropriation bill, the first of the annual budgets. The debate took a wide range. Rixey, of Virginia, causec something of a stir by advancing a proposition to open the doors of national soldiers' homes to ex-confederates and. to furnish federal aid to state confederate homes. Mr. Lever (S. C.) formally announced tho death—of—4he-4at» Repr Stakes of his state, which occurred last summer, and after adopting the customary resolutions of regret, at 4:55 p. m., as a further mark of respect, the house"adjomxied; A liOiulou dispatch says: "Thfl dentil of the pope may be expected any day. as hte holiness can only be said to be just nllvc. He takes little nourishment and is generally half conscious. He suffers HO pnin. trud simply dozes the hours* away without comprehension of what is going on around him." President-elect Palma speaks thus of educating the Cubans: "Besides, the proper instruction afforded to the Cuban children, it is my opinion that moral teachings In a general sense, without descending to a special worship, ought to be a part of the public school system."

When a laxative is needed the remedy which i s given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal o r g a n s on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of F i g s is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses t h e system effectually, without producing that constipated habit W/iich results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so caref uTly guarded. If you would have t h e m grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not g i v e them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. ' Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of t h e laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits.

It is as fertile as an ash heap, which, moreover, it resembles in that it contains scraps of everything which'entered into the making of the world- Iron, copper, coal, gold and all other treasures under the ground. The interior is a soggy, rock strewn barren, an interminably vast waste, where not so much as a shrub Is to be seen and no man chooses to live. Stunted forests fringe coast, a skinny growth of pine and spruce and birch, through which you may walk miles In vain search for a schooner's _spar. The shore line is rock, in some places swept by flood and Are bare of all soil—grim, naked rock. To many a Newfoundlander a sandy beach would be as great a wonder as a horse."

A fire In a pipemaker's shop the other day spoiled the proprietor's stock of meerschaum and incidentally disposed of the idea, common in most smokers' minds, that this commodity is v c y expensive. Meerschaum Itself is not expensive. That used by the manufacturers in this country Is imported as raw material from Austria, but most of it Is obtained in Asia Minor. Usually there are three or four different grades, running from the rough and mixed to the pure and finely grained article. There is no duty upon i t The chunks, not unlike cannel coal in shape, are packed in oblong boxes, about two feet and a half long, a foot wide and a foot high. The raw material is quite brittle and lias to be soaked hi water before it is used for York Post Control V o i r Temper. There are three reasons why one ought to control his temper, and the first is self respect.

Many of the islands of the western Pacific have iu their streams and lakes large numbers of eels of immense size which seldom ar» used as food by the natives, who seem to have a horror of the snakelike creatures. The eels of Strong's island, one of the Caroline group, are peculiar in that they hibernate regularly and seek for their place of hibernation the loftiest places which \hey can find. These eels sometimes will climb mountains 2,000 feet high and select the summit as the place for their winter's rest. They select or make a depression in the soft, moss covered soil and fit themselves into it sprr§ly, remaining for months at a time absolutely motionless and inert. Sometimes the eels are covered with moss or vegetable debris and at other times they are found exposed to view with their broad, flat heads doubled back upon their bodies. After their season of rest upon the mountain tops the eels wriggle their way down to the valleys and, plunging into the rivers and H E W A B B .

As the dinner progressed Captain Livermore exerted himself to interest bis companion. Finally they reached the wine. Livermore prided himself on his as* surance under the moat trying conditions, but he had run across a man well worthy of his steel. "You are naturally curioue t o k n o w the nature of my business with you, Mr. Overton?" he asked. "A • little, I confess," cautiously, carelessly. "Would you accept a commission at almost your own price, to sail for Cape Town and Bombay to spend a year or two painting certain subjects I would list for you?" came the complacent query. Jack felt his blood fairly boil. He realized that the man of wealth was plainly offering him a bribe to take himself out of the country. Why? There could be but one reason. Whetherhfr h a d w o n F e d o r a ' s , nonseht to marry him or not he feared the artist, knowing the girl loved blm. "When would it be necessary to start?" he asked.j "A steamer sails in the morning. X would spend the evening with you, so that all preparations could be made? Do you accept?" eagerly. "On the contrary, I decline the offer." "But—the terms you have not heard—" "Nor do I wish to, since all the wealth of which you may be possessed, through dealings in ivory, and the manipulation of minos, could not . tempt me to leave London before I have Eeen her." The two men looked at each other across the snowy damask. The Captain, seeing no yielding in the pale - face of the artist, assumed a sneering manner. "Come. Overton, don't be a fool. You look like a man of sense, who has read the ways of the world. Surely you cannot blame me for losing my heart to the girl. While she is yet unmarried you hold no mortgage upon her. I am genuinely sorry for you, and would make it as easy as possible, believe me. Athousand pounds a year, an A do what work you please, only never cross my path again. Few men but who would jump at such a glorious chance to see the world." "Then I am not one of them," coldly. "You refuse?" biting his mustache with evident surprise and chagrin. "Positively." "Think it over. You will regret such folly." "Never, while I have the perception left to distinguish between right and wrong, or to resent an insult." "Do you know, I am unable to believe you mean what you say. In cooler moments you will change your mind." "Then, under such conditions, it would be wise for me to settle the matter once for all. You are a man of the world, Captain Livermore, and must understand the full meaning of such a compliment," saying which Jack deliberatelyy dashed the rub ruby contents of his wine glass in in the face of the great African traveler. I "I have nothing more to say." "Sir, I bid you good evening." "And you, sir, the same." Turning on his heel, Jack walked out of the cafe, and was glad once more to inhale the fresh air of the street, for he believed there was poison for him In the same atmosphere that the famous African explorer breathed. Overton really never knew how he passed the time between his parting from Livermore and the later hour when he found himself in front of' the building to which he had been directed by the card tossed from Fedora's carriage as she rolled past him down the Strand. Evidently some social function was In progress within the mansion that overlooked the park, for he could see numerous figures through the long windows, and quite a few vehicles came and went. This fact might have embarrassed some men, but Overton had enough assurance to carry him through, and, "besides, he~knew it would-be utterly impossible for him to live another day in this horrible state of suspense. The worst must be known ere another hour had elspsed, so that he might go forth to meet his adversary at break of day, knowing just what lay before him, and fully committed to the policy that must govern the rest of his life. CHAPTER IV. Just As in the Days of Chivalry. Captain Livermore turned a trifle red in the face at the deliberate nature of the insult, then the color receded, leaving him almost white. He looked across the table to the artist, and there seemed a dancing devil in each of his cold, gray eyes as he said* deliberately: "You are right, Overton. This world is much too small for both of us. Consider yourself challenged. No man not a coward would allow such a base Insult to pass Unnoticed. I will fight, and I give you fair warning, sir, I shall do my level best to kill you on the field. If you can't be induced to emigrate, perhaps there may be another way to get rid of you just as thoroughly," "Ah! you seem particularly anxious vthat I should be gotten out of the way. Possibly, in spite of your bravo • front, you are not quite so certain of your purchase as you might be." The sneer doubtless went home, for Livermore half arose from his chair, only to sink back again upon second thought. As the challenged party, sir, you have the choice of weapons. What shall it be? "We will call it pistols. The time at sunrise tomorrow. That is all, I believe," said Jack, rising t o his feet. "That is all, I believe?" CHAPTER V. Fedora. Overton made up his mind to enter the London mansion of Fedora's paternal ancestors unannounced. He watched his chance to slip in with a party alighting from a carriage, and, strange to relate, was successful in accomplishing his end. A little survey showed him the conservatory, where the perfume, of many exotics filled the air. Here was a place in which he might linger until such time as Fedora proved accessible. While he watched and waited, alternately laughing in a reckless way at the audacity of Ms expectations, and presently sullenly grinding his teeth at seeing Livermore bending over Fedora, with a look of ownership in his manner, Overton found his opportunity. The girl, in playing hostess in her grandfather's house, had occasion to pass into the conservatory in order to pluck a handful of*flowers for some purpose. Fearful lest this one char.ce be snatched from his grasp by the appearance perhaps of the hated African hero, who haunted Fedora's footsteps, Jack summoned his resolution to the fore, and determined to put his fate to the test. When he uttered her name, coupled with a little Italian term of endearment which he had been wont to use so tenderly during those happy days in the paradise of Bohemia, Fedora startled and almost cried out. He was instantly at her side, his eyes fixed upon hers with an eager glow. Fedora knew how to master her own feelings all too well, and in the past had been accustomed to controlling Jack as the electrical engineer with his finger on the button manipulates the massive machinery. "My poor Jack, how did you come here? I hoped to see you quietly tomorrow, but never dreamed of tonight when—the house is so full and we are in danger of interruptions." "To-morrow would have been too late. I have a positive engagement for the morning that may call me out of England suddenly, and it was absolutely necessary that I see you tonight, else you may be certain r should never have gone to the trouble to seek an interview in this absurd manner. "Well?" she said, impatiently, tapping the toe of her dainty boot on the floor. Overton still remained master of himself. * "Are you happy, Fedora?" he asked coldly. "Although there are a few things that give me cause for grief, still I can truthfully answer, yes.' Her eyes were lowered—the sense of shame and guilt was so heavy upon this radiant creature that she could not meet the stern, accusing glance of the orbs that had "wearied themselves many a time in her service, "I am to understand, then, that it is your desire to break your solemn engagement with me—that from this time I pass out of your life forever— for God's sake at least be frank with me, Fedora—have you seriously considered this £tep in all that it m e a n s - bow often I have called you my own wife, and that our vows were ratified in the sight of heaven?" "I have considered every point," slowly. "And your decision?" She looked up at bin*—defiance 'Struggled with the old love that could never be entirely crushed in her heart. "Ob, Jack! be merciful—I could not I ' / e u p all these beautiful things that u woman's heart holds dear, and go back to that life again, even for you!" "Tell me, have you ceased to love me, Fedora?" he demanded in an imperious way she had never known him to show before. "Sometimes I think so, and then I discover it is not true, and that I shall always love you, Jack; but I shrink from poverty—my devotion is pitiful and weak compared with yours —I could never endure that again." "But you need not—all I ask is that you remain faithful and wait—by the power with which my love endows me I swear to wrest honor and wealth from the world, aye, to even your heart's content. Can you not enjoy your present position and still bid me hope?" It was his last appeal—the yearning cry of a soul that stands on the brink. She shook her head sadly. "I have considered all that, my poor Jack, but it would not he dealing honestly with grandpa, who is so very proud, and who loves me so. It would be better for you to forget me. I am not worthy of such love as you have given me, being, after all, only a weak girl. Forgive me, Jack, oh, forgive me, if I have wounded your noble heart. You are angry with me, I know, Jack. Alas! what else can I do—you must forgive me!" He shook her hand from his arm— the flash of diamonds dazzled him. "I shall never do that—all my life was at your feet—you trampled on the holiest emotions a man can feel—you have made mo bitter and cynical toward your sex. I feel as though I stood upon a new made grave, wherein I had laid all my bright hopes and my heart Go back to your guests—to him. I shall quietly leave this house, and you will never again see the Jack Overton you knew. Another will some day take his place and avenge his bitter wrongs. And so, good-bye." Her eyes followed his every step. Ho was going, and forever. He had spoken of a fresh made grave as though it were a funeral—well, the decision she had given him rang the death knell of his hopes. It Is always so solemn to even think of death— perhaps he had some desperate resolution in view—involuntarily, racked by this old and still strong regard, she stretched out her hands after him in a sudden impulse that was dead almost as soon as it was born. "Oh, Jack! forgive—return!" It was but a whisper, and as the music had struck up again, he heard it not. Her arms dropped to her sides, for Jack had passed out of sight. And Fedora, who was after all enly a woman, with woman's weakness, sighed deeply as she said: "Yes, it is best—I could never be happy again away from this bright existence, for which I wa,s fitted by nature. He will perhaps find one more worthy. We must forget—as he says, bury the past forever. Poor old Jack —heaven be kind to you, and heaven bo merciful to such a weak girl as Fedora Thorpe!" CHAPTER VI. Tempting Fate. The birds in the hedges were greeting the first peep of ('awn en that fatal May morning when a four wheeler rolled along an obscura road lying outside of London far beyond the borders of St. John's Wood. In the vehicle were Jack Overton and his dearest friend, Donald McGregor. It had been apparently a rare stroke of luck that threw him in the way of the Scottish ex-soldier within an hour after rushing from the house that sheltered Fedora. When he heard Jack's story his honest heart was all aglow with sympathy and rightsous indignation. Besides the old martial spirit was awakened, and he immediately took the whole matter in hand, so that from the hour when his striking peisonality was injected into the game Overton hardly dared breathe without his august permission. Presently they drew up and the driver announced the fact of their arrival. They alighted, and after a short walk reached a large opening or glade. A more ideal place for the peculiar business about to engross their attention could not very well have been found—Nature seems to supply the opportunity when man desires to encage in any extraordinary feat. Voices announced the arrival of the other party, and presently they j bustled upon the scene, throe in number. Livermore, his second—whom the McGregor seemed to know very well, since ho shook hands heartily with the military looking gentleman—and a ! surgeon. (To be continued.) I^a^ten's l**< Z*ett#T. - Speaking, o% hie resolution calling for a apedal tbnrttMe* t o investigate the w a r In the Philippines, Senator Hoar said he had been taunted by report that Gen. Lawton had written a letter before he w a s killed saying that if people in the United States would hold their tongues there would be no difficulty in handling the islands. Hoar said he had no means of knowing whether the general wrote such a letter or whether it w a s a forgery. Dispatches from Louisville, Ky., say the letter alluded to by Hoar was written Oct. 6, 1899, to John Barrett, ex-minister to Siam, and that a copy given to the Louisville Post by Mrs. Lawton, n o w living In that city, contains these sentences: "t agree that mistakes have been made here, but I would to God that the whole truth of the whole Philippine situation could be known by everyone in America. * • * and if these so-called anti-imperialists of Boston could honestly ascertain the truth on the ground here, they, whom I dislike to believe to be other than honest men, misinformed, would be convinced of the error of their exaggerated statements and conclusions and of the cruel and unfortunate effect of their publications here. * * * If I am shot by a Filipino bullet, it might as well come from one of my own men. These are strong words, and yet I say them because I know by the stories of captured Filipino prisoners, that the continuance of fighting is chiefly due to reports that are sent out from America and circulated among these ignorant natives by the leaders who know better." An Important Surrender. The war department is advised of an important surrender which occurred on the 13th at Taal, Batangas, Philippine islands. The surrender ineluded one colonel, three lieutenantcolonels, one major, five captains, 12 lieutenants, 245 men and 223 riflea. Maraslgan, the colonel, was a leader of importance under the insurgent Gen. Malvnr, operating in the westeru part of Batangas. That section is re ported now to be practically clear of hostile forces. It is stated that the surrender was unconditional and due directly to the excellent service of the American troops. The loyal native*, it is added, believe this surrender will influence hostile bands; in other sections of Batangas to surrender. T h e N a v a l Slioir. Rear Admiral Robley D.

Chicago Out of Money. For the first time in more than 30 years Chicago's night schools are closed temporarily at l e a s t It is also a serious question if the day schools can be kept epen during the regular 10 months. This^-condition is the result of low condition of the city's finances. The average attendance at the night schools has been 4,471, and It was estimated the attendance this year would have been 4,500, and that 200 teachers would have been employed in the 20 schools planned to be opened. The cost would have approximated $50,000 A token o f American Influence in Manila is the adoption of an ordinance prohibiting smoking in theaters during performances Tte-rra t n B r i e f .

KAS3A8 GBOPS, * :The secretary of the Kanaaa, State Board of Agriculture. has just taholated tn comparative form statistics obtained from the U. S. Department of Agriculture year books. The tables are brief and graphic and calculated to surprise those who hare looked oh Kansas as aPsemi-aHd state. Kansas ranks first In the value of wheat and corn raised for, the five years. 1896 to 1900, inclusive, and also for the year 1900 alone; first in the value of wheat alone raised In 1900; fifth in, the value of corn alone for the same period; second, in the value of wheat and corn raised in 1900 per capita. The same authority gives the number of bushels of corn raised in Kansas in 20 years as 2,995,985,308, and the number of bushels of wheat raised in same period as 691,297,613. These are truly wonderful figures. In part they show the solid basis of value on which the securities of the Santa F e railway rest, for the Santa Fe is to Kansas what the Pennsylvania railroad is to Pennsylvania, the chief transportation agency, with lines covering the state more generally than do those of any other company. A new booklet on the resources of Kansas is being prepared by the Santa Fe passenger department and will be ready for distribution early in the year. The booklet will contain statistics for the year 1901. ' • % ' ACTIVE PRINCIPLE OF TEAS. Theine and the 8mall Amount Found In ATeng* Drink. Theine is known to most people as the active principle of tea, or that substance which confers upon the cup its cheering and stimulating properties. Caffeine is the analogous principle of coffee, although this latter substance also occurs in tea. Some investigations Into the development of theine show that it is in the skin or coveting of the leaves of the plant in their young state that the active principle is best developed. I have always been given to understand that the young shoots thus amply provided with theine, and representing the finest of the. crop, are sent to Russia, where they fetch a high price. What we get in this country is presumably the' older leaf, with, I should say, less theine and a good deal more tannin. It would be interesting to know what proportions of theine and tannin exist in some of the cheap teas that are so largely consumed by the British public. Theine itself is a nerve stimulant of undoubted power, but the quantity we get in our cups is, of course, infinitesimal. Sometimes, I should say, it is so microscopic ln-.amount as to_ render it doubtful whether wo can be cheered at all^by the tea tray festivities. These are Flaln Words. Marshfleld, Mo.. Jan. 20th.—Mr. J. F. King of this place makes the following statement: "I have suffered untold agony for twenty years with Lame Back and Acute Kidney Disease, and In that time have never been two days together clear of misery, and for some of the time I could not walk a step or even sit up. "Last spring, after trying many doctors and every remedy that could be thought of, I began a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills. The good results were almost immediate and for the last seven months I have seen more comfort and pleasure than I have for twenty years before. "Any one with Kidney Disease or Lame Back that will not try Dodd's Kidney Pills deserves to suffer." Pasting of Sailing Barks. Not many years ago the East River water front was a "forest of masts." To-day a dozen smokestacks take their place. Poetry has given place to the dullest and driest of prose. An illustration of the sorrowful pass to which sailing vessels in the merchant marine have come was related last week by the son of a once wealthy shipowner, now dead. "I was present in my youth," said he, "at the christening of one of my father's barks, a quarter of a century ago. The vessel cost about 132,000. In its maiden voyage to Australia it cleared a net profit of more than $35,000—more than paid for itself, in fact. Not long since, while settling up my father's estate, $50 was offered to me for an eighth interest In another bark which he had owned. It cost him 14,000. 1 took the offer. It was a question of taking $50 or paying an assessment of $200, and, as I was not empowered to spend money of the estate, and saw BO probable profit if I did, I took the cash."—New York Times.

While he waited for it he walked up and down and was conversing on different subjects when the landlord's daughter, a very pretty girl, made her appearance. The emperor wished her good day and observed to her father that it was high time a flower in full bloom should marry before it faded.

The same is true of a road from Northville via Whitmore Lake, Birkett, Pinckney to Lansing, it would open up as rich a farming community and busy villages as one need to find. •Cta To Our Patrons- We wish to advise all our patrons and friends who have un-settled accounts and past due notes> to come and settle as soon as possible as we must balance our books at time of inventory.

Y.) Jan, 26.—From an unataadnoint Dr. Talmage in this Jooka at the duties and trials vUch belong to the different decades o t hnmaa Hit; text, Psalms ^c, 10, * ! * • 4aya of oar years are threescore y e a n and tea." The seventieth milestone of life is nam planted as at the end of the Journey. A tew go beyond it. Multitudes never reach it Whatever your age, I Will to-day directly address you, and ( shall apeak to those who are in the twenties, the thirties, the forties, the fifties, the sixties, and to those who are In tte seventies and beyond. Fbst, then, I accost those of you who are in the twenties. You are full of expectation. You are ambitious— that is, if you amount to anything—for some kind of success, commercial or merhanirrt) or professional or literary or agricultural or aooial or moral. If I And some one in the twenties without any sort of ambition, I feel like saying. "My friend, you have got on the wrong planet. This is not the world for you. You are going to be in the way. Have you made your choice of poorhouses? You will never be able to pay for your cradle. Who is going to settle for your board? There is a mistake about the fact that you were born at all." Some of the mightiest things for God .mad eternity have been done in the twenties. Aa long as you can put the •gore 2 before the other figure that helps describe your age I have high hopes about you. Look out for that figore 2. Watch its continuance with as much earnestness as you ever watched anything that promised you salvation or threatened you demolition. What A critical time—the twenties! While they continue you decide yonr occupation and the principles by which you will be guided; you make your meat abiding friendships; you arrange your home life; you fix your habits. Lord God Almighty, for Jesus Christ's sake, have mercy on all the men and women in the twenties! ; Next 1 accost those in the thirties. Too are at an age when you find what a tough thing It is to get recognized and established in your occupation or .profession. In some respects the hardest decade of life is the thirties, because the results are generally so far behind the anticipations. Nine-tenths . of the poetry of life has been knocked oat of you since you came into the thirties. Men in the different professions and occupations saw that you rislag, and they must put an esor you might somehow way. They think you mast be suppressed. * Oh, the thirties! Joseph stood before rfcaisnh at thirty; David was thirty yesoa oM whan he began to reign; thw height of Solomon's temple was thirty cnbits; Christ entered upon his active ministry at thirty years of age; Judas sold blm for thirty pieces of silver. Oh, the thirties! What a word suggestive of triumph or disaster! Next I accost the forties. Yours is the decade of discovery. I do not saeaa the discovery of the outside, but the discovery of yourself. No man hnows hiawjelf until he is forty. By that time he has learned what he can oo or what he cannot do. He thought he had commeKcial genius enough to a millionaire, but now he is to make a comfortable liv- He thought he had rhetorical that would bring him Into the United States senate; now he is const he can successfully argue a case before a petit jury. He he had medical skill that him a Mott or a Grosse or a WlBard Parker, or a Sims; now he his sphere is that of a family prescribing for the ordinary ailmeats tkut afflict our race. He is half way through life's journey and be la la a position to look backward or He has more good sense ha ever had. He knows human for he has been cheated often to see the bad side of it, and so many graciou* and splendid souls he also side of it. next accosts the Afties. it looks when in writing yonr ace yon snake the first of the two abjures a 6. This is the decade which shows what the other decades have been. If a young man has sown Wild oats awd be has lived to this time, 3M reaps the harvest of it in the fifties, ,or if by necessity he was compelled .to overtoil in honest directions he is to settle up with exacting naduring the fifties. Scirheumatlsms and neuraland insomnias have hair begins to whiten and. Although he may have worn spectacles before,, now he asks the optician for No. 14 or No. 12 or No. 10. When he gets a cough and is almost cured, he hacks and clears bis throat a good while afterward. O ye who are tn the fifties, think of it! A half century of blessings to be thankful for and a half century subtracted from an existence which, in the most marked cases of longevity, hardly ever reaches a whole century. By this time you ought to be eminent for piety. You have been in so many battles you ought to be a brave soldier. You have made so many voyages you ought to be a good sailor. So long protected and blessed, you ought to have a soul full of doxology. In Bible times in Canaan every fifty years was by God's command a year of jubilee. The people did not work that year. If property had by misfortune gone out of one's possession, on the fiftieth year it came back to him. If he had fooled it away, it was returned without a farthing to pay. If a man had been enslaved, he was in that year emancipated. A trumpet was sounded loud and clear and long, and it was the trumpet of jubilee. They shook hands, they laughed, they congratulated. What a time it was, that fiftieth year! And if under the old dispensation it was such a glad time, under our new and more glorious dispensation let all who have come to the fifties hear the trumpet of jubilee that I now blow. My sermon next accosts the sixties. The beginning of that decade is more startling than any other. In his chronological journey the man rides rather smoothly over the figures 2 and 3 and 4 and 5, but the figure 6 gives him a big jolt. He says: "It cannot be that I am sixty. Let me examine the old family record. I guess they made a mistake. They got my name down wrong in the roll of births." But no, the older brothers or sisters remember the time of his advent, and there is some relative a year older and another relative a year younger, and, sure enough, the fact is established beyond all disputation. . Sixty! Now your great danger is the temptation to fold up your faculties and quit. You will feel a tendency to reminiscence. If you do not look out, you will begin almost everything with the words, "When I was a boy." But you ought to make the sixties more memorable fbr~God ~andr the truth than the fifties or the forties or the thirties. You ought to do more during the next ten years than you did in any thirty years of your life because of all the experience you have had. You have committed enough mistakes in life to make you wise above your juniors. Now, under the accumulated light of your past experimenting, go to work for God as never before. When a man in the sixties folds up his energy and feels he has done enough, it is the devil of Indolence to which he is surrendering, and God generally takes the man at his word and lets him die right away. My subject next accosts those in the seventies and beyond. My word to them is congratulation. You have got nearly if not quite through. You have 3afely crossed the sea of life and are about to enter the harbor. You have fought at Gettysburg, and the war is over—here and there a skirmish with the remaining sin of your own heart and the win of the world, but I guess you are about done. There may be some work for you yet on a small or large scale. Bismarck of Germany vigorous iu the eighties. The prime minister of England strong at seventytwo. Haydn composing his oratorio, "The Creation," at seventy years of age. Noah Webster, after making his world renowned dictionary, hard at work until eighty-five years old. Rev. Daniel Waldo praying in my pulpit at one hundred years of age. Humboldt producing the immortal "Cosmos" at seventy-six years. William Blake at sixty-seven learning Italian so as to read Dante in the original. John Wesley stirring great audiences at eighty-five. William C. Bryant, without spectacles, reading in my house "Thanatopsis" at eighty-three years of age. Christian men and women in all departments serving God after becoming septuagenarians and octogenarians and nonagenarians prove that there are possibilities of work for the aged, but I think you who are passed the seventies are near being through. How do you feel about it? You ought to be jubilant, because life is a tremendous struggle, and if you have got through respectably and usefully you ought to feel like people toward the close of a summer day seated on the rocks watching the sunset at Bar Harbor or Cape May or Lookout Mountain. I am glad to say that most old Christians are cheerful. Daniel Webster visited John Adams a short time before his death and found him in very infirm health. He said to Mr..Adams: "I am glad to see you. I hope you are getting along pretty well." The reply was: 'Ah, sir, quite' the contrary. I find I am a poor tenant, occupying a house much shattered by time, rt sways and trembles with every wind iad T,tat is w^gs, sirt the imoiorct, •—** as near as I can make out, does not intend to make any repairs," , An a^ed, woman .seat to her physician and told hMn of, her ailmanta and tile doctor said: "What would you havo me do, madam? I cannot make you young again." She replied: '7 know that, doctor. What I want you to do is to help me to grow old a little longer." The young have their troubles before them; the old have their troubles behind them. You have got about all out of this earth that there is in it Be glad that you, an aged servant of God, are going to try another life and amid better surroundings. Stop looking back and look ahead. Oh, ye in the seventies and the eighties and the nineties, .your best days are yet to come, your grandest associations are yet to be formed, your best eyesight is yet to be kindled, your best hearing is yet to be awakened, your greatest speed is yet to be traveled, your gladdest song Is yet to be sung. The most of your friends have gone over the border, and you are going to join them very soon. They are waiting for you; they are watching the golden shore to see you land; they are watching the shining gate to see you come through; they are standing by the throne to see you mount. What a glad hour when you drop the staff and take the scepter, when you quit the stiffened joints and become an immortal athlete! But hear, hear; a remark pertinent to all people, whether in the twenties, the thirties, the forties, the fifties, the sixties, the seventies or beyond. What we all need is to take the supernatural into our lives. Do not let us depend on brain and muscle and nerve. We want a mighty supply of the supernatural. We want with us a divine force mightier than the waters and the tempests, and when the Lord took two stops on bestormed Galilee, putting one foot on the winds and the other on toe waves, he proved himself mightier than hurricane and billow. We want with us a divine force greater than the fires, and when the Lord cooled Nebuchadnezzar's furnace until Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego dfd not even have to fan themselves he proved himself mightier than the fire. We want a divine force stronger than the wild beast and when the Lord made Daniel a lion tamer he proved himself stronger than the wrath of the jungles. ^rhere are so many diseases in the afes world we want with us a divine Physl clan capable of combating ailments, and our Lord when on earth showed what, he could do with catalepsy and paralysis and ophthalmia and dementia. Oh, take this supernatural into all your lives! How to get it.' Just as you get anything you want—by application. A man got up in a New York prayer meeting and said: "God is my partner. I did business with him for twenty years and failed every two or three years. I have been doing business with him for twenty years and have not failed once." Oh, take the supernatural into all your affairs! I had such an evidence of the goodness of God in temporal things when I entered life, I must testify. Called to preach at lovely Belleville, in New Jersey, I entered upon my work. But there stood the empty parsonage, and not a cent had I with which to furnish it. After preaching three or four weeks the officers of my church asked me if I did not want to take two or three weeks' vacation. I said, "Yes," for I had preached about all I knew, but I feared they must be getting tired of me. When I returned to the village after the brief vacation, they handed me the key of the parsonage and asked me if I did not want to go and look at it. Not suspecting anything had happened, I put the key into the parsonage door and opened it, and there was the hall completely furnished with carpet and pictures and hatrack, and I turned into the parlors and they were furnished—the softest sofas I ever sat on—and into the study, and I found it furnished with bookcases, and I went into the bedrooms.and they were furnished, and into the pantry, and that was furnished with every culinary article, and the spiceboxes were filled, and a flour barrel stood there ready to be opened, and I went down into the dinlngroom, and the table was set and beautifully furnished, and Into the kitchen, and the stove was full of fuel, and a match lay on the top of the stove, and all I had to do in starting housekeeping was to strike the match. God inspired the whole thing, and if I ever doubt his goodness all up and down the world call me an ingrate. I testify that I have been in many tight places, and God always got me out, snd he will get you out of the tight places. But the most of you will never reach the eighties or the seventies or the sixties or the fifties or the forties. He who passes Into the forties has gone far beyond the average of human life. Amid the uncertainties take God through Jesus Christ as your present and eternal safety. The longest life is only a small fragment of the great there. • - * The highest calls may come from the *csliest circiuastances. PWLiWsw .TBI Mm L :WMfittMA« (From the Pall Mall Oasette. London.) * ^QPiO^'n on returning home lata ,ips a dreary winter's, *igh|/hae* oar symnatbyy gone out to- thaf poor, old ni^t-watphmsn as he sat "huddled up over his cage Are, overlooking the ex? /eavations' which our city council in their wisdom or otherwise, allow the different water companies to make so frequently in our congested streets. In all weathers and under ail cltmatie conditions, the poor old night-watchman Is obliged to keep watch over the companies' property, and to see that the red lights are kept burning. What a life, to be sure; what privations and hardships; no wonder they have aches and pains, which nothing but St Jacob's Oil can alleviate. "Old Joe" is in the employ of the Lambeth Water Works, and is well and favorably known. He has been a night-watchman for many years, in the course of which he has undergone many experiences. What with wet and cold, fc«> contracted rheumatism and sciatica, which fairly doubled him up, and it began to look a serious matter for old Joe whether he would much longer be able to perform his duties, on which his good wife and himself depended for a livelihood; but as it happened, a passerby, who had for some nights noticed Old Joe's painful condition, presented him with a bottle of St Jacob's Oil, and told him to use it. Old Joe followed the advice given; he crawled home the next morning and bade his wife rub his aching back with the St. Jacob's Oil "a gentleman gave him/' and undoubtedly his wife did rub, for when old Joe went on duty at night he met his friend and benefactor, to whom he remarked: "Them Oils you gave me, Guv'nor, did give me a doing; they was like pins and needles for a time, but look at me now," and old Joe began to run and jump about like a young colt AH pain, stiffness and soreness had gone; he had been telling everybody he met what St Jacob's Oil had done for him. Old Joe says now he has but one ambition in life, and that is to always to be able to keep a bottle of St Jacob's OU by him for he-says there is nothing like it in the world. St. Jacob's Oil serves the rich and the poor, high and low the same way. It has conquered pain for fifty years, and it will do the same to the end of tirce. It has no equal, consequently no competitor; it has msny cheap imitations, but simple facts like the above tell an honest tale with- which noth^ fng on earth can compete. raw mmmi^jywtm CANADA. la * letter written from-Prince Ah fbeisj, «|M*a4Qh»wsn, one J f ^ b e ditv .trJatnhjSk western Canada^ by Henry Laughlin to Dr. C.

The teacher of an intermediate grade in a Milwaukee school the other day was "showing off" her pupils before a number of visitors. The spelling class was on the floor and one small, red-headed boy was given the word "introduction." He paused, twisted his lips, stared and then, in a faltering way, spelled it correctly, and then seemed rather surprised that he had done it. "Do you know what the word means?" asked the teacher. "N'm." "What? You don't know what 'introductioa' means? Well, now, I'll explain it to you. Does your mother ever have callers?" "Yes'm." "Well, now, suppose that two women came to call on your mother. Your mother knowB one of the women, but doesn't know the other. She has never seen the.woman and doesn't even know her name. Now, how would she become acquainted with this woman and find out her name?" "She'd send me out for a can of beer." As that was the correct answer, says the New York Tribune, the teacher had nothing further to say. I* Dtobetee C arable T Halo, Ind., Jan. 27th.—In answer, Mrs. L. C.

Copyright, ttCft, Dally Story Publishing Company % , "A most unnatural child—sullen, sluggish, sneaking," the rector affirmed, punctuating the Indictment with, pauses In his effort -to be exact A shadow of protest flitted over hi* wife's face. First, Bill* was motherless. Secondly, under corer Of a garden' hedge one day She had watched' Billy take aiiff at a-crow, and his eyes, eager, sweet and blue as larkspur, had appealed- to her unforgettably. Decidedly, Billy's eyes when they could be seen, counted. It was said of the rector that he knew every man, woman and child in the county; and they, by reason of his sweet cordiality of manner, knew and loved him. The rector owed his.popularity more to a single grace than to the whole big sum of his virtues—a grace of sympathy so rare, so discriminating, BO replete with charity as to make him quite unofficially, of course, but In a very real sense, the confessor of his. people. But with Billy the vector could make no headway. Billy was his thorn In the flesh, an ever-present appeal to his sympathy, but dodging every expression.vof it with the elusiveness of a phantom. His kindliest overtures glanced the armor of the child's reserve. One day the rector took him perforce for a drive, hoping to thaw this stolid unresponsiveness. He told his most thrilling stories; Billy remained utterly aloof. The rector was approaching a state of actual discomfiture when Billy himself snapped the tension by dropping adroitly from the phaeton. He disappeared in the brush like a scared rabbit The rector decided to bide his tlm«. It was in harvest time that Billy's mother breathed her last, swiftly, tranquilly, meekly grateful for her release. Billy's father had bullied her into a stingless grave. Billy's father, a burly, Irascible farmer, had long since tired of his sickly wife; he was doubtless glad of his release. But he felt a fresh displeasure against her; she had died in his busiest season without consulting his convenience. Billy's conception of death was very nebulous. He observed the funeral preparations with "a"'soft o f wonder?- though the unwonted stillness and darkness made his heart flutter. It was not until the rector led him to the bier and tenderly told him to kisB his mother good-bye, and the tall man with black gloves screwed on the lid, that Billy began to apprehend. The chill of desolation came upon him and he sobbed softly, unobtrusively lest his father should hear. He had smarted too often for the offense to take risks. At last the casket was lowered and the rector's voice became more solemn. Billy .sobbed audibly. He drew as near the rector as he dared and increased the distance from MB father. Presently Billy heard a thud. ''Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," and the rector had thrown a clump of dirt at his mother! He moaned aloud in his anguish. To Billy, who knew nothing of symbolism, the act savored only of unfriendliness. He interpreted it in the light of ilia own experience, and in road-side warfare with his kind, Billy had learned the value of pebbly sand as ammunition. Hence the rector's difficulty with his young parishioner. The farmer lost no time in bringing home a buxom widow whose quarrelsome progeny soon crowded' Billy out. A nostalgia for the woods seized him; he became nomadic In his effort at selfeffacement, and his father, who hated He sniffed at Billy. the sight of his under-sized offspring "slinking around like a whipped dog." was not sorry. >Xo wonder Billy passed as "sullen, sluggish, sneaking." Billy exulted in woodcraftr He knew the boggy hollows where the violets and blood-root grew; the songs of the birds were the familiar voices of his friends, and he studied the habits of !|he birds and chipmunks with the fervor of a naturalist. Billy did not miss his mother's kisses to poignantly in the forest , In the course of time a new interest <eame into Billy's life. One dny in passing the rectory he saw a little, yellow pig frisking about the lawn in the most unaccountable fashion. Billy -stopped short in amassment It wasn't a~plg after all, but could it be—yes, It was a dog, a tawny, little rolyboly with a black stripe down his back, *nd a tail that curled like a pig's, and •a face that reminded Billy of old Uncle Ike's bulldog, only it was black and looked less dangerous. Billy sidled up to the fence and whistled softly. The pug frisked over with his nose inquisitively tilted. He sniffed at Billy and then backed off. Evidently he was »ot prepossessed. Billy dived into his pocket for his lunch and held It eoaacingly between the palings, but the pug was not to be baited with coarse bread and ham. He had never eaten so mean a meal in all his petted, well-fed life. Billy did hot consider this a bad beginning, however; he was so accustomed to being snarled at by the surly country dogs. Billy finally broke the Ice in this "How came you to do it?" wise. Having heard of the pug's predilection for candy, he determined to play his trump card. He had long carried in a sale Inner~pocket-a niekel which he kept partly for the lack of a suitable investment and partly because the consciousness of ownership expressed in dollars and cents is so sweet to a boy. Now Billy had so fallen under the spell of the pug's enchantments that he cheerfully spent his nickel penny by penny, for the toothsome commodity which was the price of the dog's good will. And the weeks of joyous fellowship that followed left Billy nothing to regret in his bargain. Billy's new-found happiness came to a sudden end, however, when he saw sinister signs of departure about the rectory. The rector's guests were going, and the impending separation from his dear, canine playfellow filled him with despair. Now, Billy could not know that the dog had been given to the rector's wife. He assumed that as it had arrived with the strangers, it would also depart with them. Billy thought the situation over in bitter rebellion. Gradually he evolved a way out of his trouble. He remembered with a thrill the long-disused shanty in a clearing in the woods, where he kept a rusty, old musket and other valuables safe from the vandal- Ism of his step-brothers. What could be simpler than to secrete the dog in this safe place—yes, Indefinitely? Billy would bring hiB own portions of meat and c^kes for him to eat. and there were a few corn sacks in the barn which would do admirably for his bed. Billy acted upon this alluring plan. A week elapsed and Billy heard rumor of the distress at the rectory which took the edge off his satisfaction. The rector's wife had actually been seen in tears—a state of things poor Billy had not foreseen. His conscience began to work In deadly earne s t and he would hug the dog in a passion of repentance. His mother's griefs were too fresh in his mind for him to be Indifferent to tears. An old formula which she had patiently instilled became luminous with meaning. "Do unto others." Assuredly. Billy's conscience had become sadly over-weighted. Yes, he would take the dog back and make a clean breast of it. He thought of what might happen when the rector told his father, with dark misgivings, but he would know that the rector's wife was not crying. At twilight they started. Billy wished that he felt like frisking, too, but his courage oozed with every step. Billy's rap brought the rector to the door. The pug yelped delightedly. In the noisy welcome that followed Billy would have slipped away, but the rector drew him inside. "Where did you find him. Billy?" "Didn't find him/' said Billy laconically, , "Where has he been?" as "I had him." Billy was dreadfully scared, but he was not ready to tell the whereaboutr of fcla t»is*torh4ns4 • The rtctor took another tackv^Billr; did jw bring aim back because you were sorry you had doss wrong*?" The rector was sounding hit "moral sense * Billy's head dropped lower. "Who required you to bring him back?" "Nobody," Billy muttered. "You brought him because you were sorry for us/' suggested the rector's wife, gently. BUly raised his beautiful eyes to hew in a flash of gratitude. The rector started. It gave the plain, features the effect of an illumination. "My dear," she continued, drawing him to her, "how came you to do it?" Billy burst into tears. "I didn't want him to go away." The lad's life was bared before them In its great frlendlessness. The childless mother clasped the motherless child to her heart. Finally she said, "Billy, how would you like to be our little son—to live with us and have the dog for your very own?" Billy's arms tightened about her neck in an excess of feeling. And so it came to pass. "PIE OR TART"? Don't Say, "Both, If Yon Please"— Learn to Distinguish. "Do you know the difference between a pie and a tart?" How often have you heard this asked at a dinner table when the conversation languishes, and how fruitful of argument the question invariably is! Half a dozen "correct" answers are given in as many minutes. The fact Is, the point is not capable of such an easy explanation as might be supposed. "A pie contains meat, a tart fruit," says some one. Quite so, but who ever would deny the existence of apple pie? The famous Lord Dudley was heard to remark at a sumptuous dinner given by Prince Esterhazy, "God bless my soul! No apple pie." And he should certainly have known what he was talking about, for this was his favorite dish. Further, there exists a volume (dated 1863) entitled "The Compleat Cook," wherein are to be found descriptions of how to make a "partridge tart" and an "olive pye." History may thus be said to veto the "meat-and-fruit" theory. Mrs. Beeton, by the way, who should be the supreme court of appeal In a matter of this: kln^^nglojiously ^escribes her recipe as an "apple tartor pie." Next comes an even more plausible explanation. "A pie is closed; a tart is open"; thus pronounce by far the majority of the oracles on this momentous subject. There is admittedly much to be said in support of this argument. The aforementioned Lord Dudley, who was once questioned as to his correctness in speaking of apple "pie," held to the "closed-and-open" theory, while Lord Alvanley's apricot "tart" was an uprooted structure, although sometimes ornamented with a grille of crosspieces. But the word "pie" as any authority will tell you, is, in its origin, an abbreviation of the word "pastry" And we have yet to meet a self-respecting tart whose basis was other than (more or less indigestible) "pastry." Wherefore any tart may be correctly called a pie, though not every pie, as we shall now demonstrate, can be described as tart. The whole thing turns on the origin of the word tart. The French tourte gives the clue. It leads us to the Latin torta—English "twisted." A "pie" is that which is made of pastry, whatever its form or contents. A "tart" is that which is made of pastry twisted. The merest twiggle of culinary art on the summit of an otherwise unornaraented pork pie confers upon it the proud right to the title of tart. On the other hand, conceive, if possible, a totally plain dish of fruit supported on a slab of bald farinaceous pastry, and, despite all preconceived Ideas to the contrary, you may unhesitatingly label it "pie."— Pall Mall Gazette. £ a s y Enough for Anyone. On a wager a man at. Iola is attempting to eat one quail a day for thirty days. It is inexplicable how the old delusion that a man cannot eat one quail a Say for thirty days holds its own. Any man can eat one quail a day for thirty days. At Lawrence some years ago Will Upton ate two quails a day for more than thirty ioys. For the first week or two he starved himself with the idea that he myst keep up an appetite. After that he sometimes ate three or four of the birds in a day.

The board found that his eyes were not permanently injured. Representative Smith Too Late.

"This is the Yankee lover, is it? Ho, ho!" And he turned his back impudently on the pair. "Aye, and I know your precious plot!" shouted Jaffrey, whipping out his blade. "On guard, sir!" "What!" roared the officer. "Then, indeed, has your time come! Down with him, lads!" In an instant four blades were playing about his head, and the American was in extreme peril.

I think I'll jest run across an' inquire, if you will watch them pies, I am that fierce to know if Olory Ann be really a-goin' to marry that Philetus Antrim." With a startling admonition concerning the pies, Philury started her tour of Investigation. "How be ye, Mis' Carter?" she inquired as she paused before the kitchen door and looked at that lady, who was busy making sweet smelling cakes. Mrs. Carter looked up and, waving her flour covered arm toward a chair, said: "Set, Thllury. I be feelln' fair to middling" "1 seen ye was havin' quite a lot a-goin' on. Be it that Glory Ann is really a-goin' to git married? I heard some talk of it when I was last down to the Holler. Be she, Mrs. Carter?" And Philury repeated her question in an insinuating manner as she put the teacupful of tea on the table. "She be, Philury," said Mrs. Carter laconically. "About when, Mis' Carter?" "About Sunday, Philury, if nothin' don't prevent an' these cakes are pleasin\" A wedding in the community was an event of no small occurrence. It was second only in importance to a funeral, and no right minded person would think of missing "Glory Ann's weddin'." By 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon the road in front of the red farmhouse was full of carriages, hitched to every available.tree and fencepost. The bride elect was proud in the possession of a tableful of presents, which were displayed under the kitchen window, outside of which was hitched to one of the shutters a yearling calf, the gift of her father. The gifts were varied in style, extending all the way from a brass lamp, sent by the city lady, to a paper of gold hairpins, given by Carter's hired girl. The ceremony progressed well. Everything went smoothly until the supper was about half over, when Mrs. Carter said: "Where BIT ye goin' for yer tower. Philetus?" ' ''Waal." he said slowly, "I 'lowed that me an' Glory Ann would tower to Glenham an' back. My sister's busband's child, Alphonso, lives there. I 'lowed 'twould be as good a place to tower to as any." Then Glory Ann looked up quickly, and uor cheeks flowed so that her hair seemed pale in comparison as she said, with withering emphasis: "I 'lowed to tower to King's Holler an' see Uncle Elbetus. I 'lowed 1 should tower there an' to no other place else, 1 did." "Seems to me," said Mr. Carter, speaking up quickly, "that Glory Ann's tower is the best. It only seems, to mo to be jest proper in yer to go an' tower to yer Uncle Elbertus', for 1 hear Mirandy ain't very well." "Well, ye set an' dally till 1 git ready to go on any other tower," said the bride complacently as she passed her plate up. saying casually, "Please give me some more o' them cakes, pa." Hereupon Philetus grew very angry. Rising, he said fiercely: "Glory Ann, I'll take back that salt cellar, an' ye don't come toGlenham." "An' you, Philetus, can take back yer salt an' yerself — both too fresh for me—an' go to Glenham or where ye will, for I'll tower to the Holler or I'll tower, none." And Glory Ann arose and passed majestically up stairs carrying a glass of cider aud "them cakes" with her. After supper Mr. Carter said, turning to his new son-in-law: "Seems to me, Phlle, that if ye ain't goin* to tower none 'twould be as well ~uE TC Z marryra\ Then ,we*aIT went "down to let her pot on her new brown alpadcy.

Jest as she passed out, very majestic like, her purple feather a-streamin' out behind her, she paused an' said, *Ifi King's Holler.' "An' it was too," added Philury. . "WeuV I guess Glory Ann will set off them gilt hairpins If she ain't so everlastiD' fiery that they'll melt'* murmured Rhedy Ann. "Well, she be kalrful," said Philury.

It is called "Kimi Ga Yo," from its first three words, and consists of thirty-two syllables, which count in poetry, however, as thirty-one. The exceeding brevity Is due to the national fondness for conciseness of phrase and for economy of expression In all forms of art. The patriotic song is what the Japaoese call a "tanka," or verse of five lines, the first and third being of five and the others of seven syllables. Below is given the anthem in Japanese, with an English translation: Kiml Ga Yo. Klma ga yo wa Chlyo nl yachlyo nl Sazare lahl no Iwawo to narlte Koke no musu made. TRANSLATION.

McGregor made a proposition to the effect that his principal should he entitled to at least one shot in practice before the affair cam* on the carpet— as Livermore was familiar with the handling of the firearms, he certainly had an advantage, and it would be only fair to give Overton a chance to see how the weapon upon which be was about to stake his life did its work. To this the others readily agreed, and Jack glancing around for some mark, discovered a sparrow upon a branch fully as distant as his antagonist would be when the word came to Are. "Ah!" he remarked, "I have found a mark almost half as large as a human heart." He fired almost instantly, and the mangled bird fell to the ground, while the McGregor whistled a bar or two from "The Campbells Are Coming," . and Livermoro's second looked very serious. Then the conditions of the duel were gone over. The two principals were to be stat i o n e d a t the posts selected, within easy pistol shot, and their backs turned toward each other. At a given signal they were to wheel and advance directly toward each other, the privilege to fire being open from that Instant. One advantage would come to the man who got in his shot first, provided he hit his mark, but if he missed, heaven he;p him, for the other had the privilege of walking up as close as he pleased and delivering a murderous fire. When these arrangements had been made the principals walked to their »stations and received their weapons, together with a last word of advice from their seconds. Then they . were left alone, facing each other. Overton could feel his heart pounding away like a miniature trip hammer, and he held out his arm with some uneasiness, but smiled to find it as firm as a rock—not 8 tremor or quiver of the slightest description— really it looked bad for Livermore, who perhaps had met with the most astonishing perils during his adventurous life, and finally came home to find his Sedan. At McGregor's command the two duelists turned back to back, with the arm holding the pistol dropped down at their sides. "Men, are ye balth ready?" he demanded, as though about to open a sprinting race or some other innocent game,of sport. "Ready!" came from the traveler, quickly. "Ready!" echoed Overton, between his teeth. "Then, gang awa', and the God o' battles decide the day/' roared the exdragoon. Both men whirled around, and the dueling pistols came up to a level. Neither fired at once, but began to advance, while the onlookers—including an almost paralyzed rustic with a pitchfork oyer his shoulder, on the way to some field of labor—held their very breath in suspense. Two, three, four paces for each—the distance had been horribly narrowed, and as yet not a shot. It looked like murder—as though both of them must fall when the final exchange of compliments took place. McGregor would have given all he owned for the privilege of bawling out to his man—he believed Jack was losing his best chance—that he had the other at his mercy, and was a fool not to get in the first shot; but such an act on the part of a second would have been a gross breach of the etiquette governing such affairs, and he discreetly remained silent. Then with stunning abruptness came the sharp report of a pistol, and the McGregor groaned as he saw the smoke oozing from the barrel of the leveled weapon clutched In the rigid hand of Livermore. » » • « • • • • • + • + • » • » • • • + » *&Mxnr.K«v York; came a. man. He had had his chance and lost—the game was in Overton's hands, and there could be no appeal from the stern arbitrament of arms.. And Jack—a whirlwind of fancies played riot in his mind and heart—the man he hated with such bitterness, who had stolen away the girl whom he had almost looked upon as his wife forever and aye—this favorite of fortune was now in his power, and a pressure of the finger alone wa3 needed to end his career. Fedora would then be free and he— but, stop; suppose he killed Livermore. Would that act bridge the abyss between Fedora and himself On the contrary, would it not render it forever impassable? His whole nature revolted at the thought of killing his rival in cold blood—this was not the kind of revenge for which his spirit yearned— and even at this dreadful moment of suspense, when angel and devil seemed to struggle within for the mastery, somehow the gently eqrnpsf: face_ of_ little Mazette, the portrait painter, Hashed before his vision. Then suddenly, without the least warning Overton raised his arm until the pistol covered the upper branches of a tree, and, discharging the weapon, tossed it to the feet of his antagonist whirled on his heel and walked away. The good angel had triumphed—he refused to accept the life the gods had given him. The McGregor, breathing out mutterings of discontent, chased after his principal. To his rather brutal soldier mind Jack was a fool to stand the fire of a man who had wronged him, and then throw away the golden opportunity for revenge which the fickle goddess of -fortune had placed in his hands. McGregor could not comprehend the delicate nature of the affair—he believed that if the doughty captain, who had perhaps bewitched Jack's sweetheart in some mysterious manner, had only been disposed of, so that he might not appear upon the stage again, Overton would have clear sailing in the matter. Alar,' the situation wa3 far mors complicated. Overtoil knew a condition and not a theory confronted him—that Fedora had been dazzled by the evidences of wealth around her—that she loved dress and diamonds and luxurious ease more than she had ever loved him, even in that fool's Paradise when, like a couple of children, they had indulged in beautifully romantic dreams of the future—that evanescent Fata Morgana that appears to all sailors who venture upon the sea of love. But one faint hope remained—would Fedora listen to the still, small voice within and thrust the temptation aside? Strange how we cling desperately to the last straw when our boat sinks under us. They entered the great city and finally pulled up at a chop hotjse, where, having dismissed the chuckling cabby, they had breakfast together. Overton still had little to say, though he kept up a tremendous thinking, and when the meal was over the McGregor shook him solemnly by the hand, saying in parting: "As I taul ye before, laddie, if ye need a braw frien' came to Donald Mc- Gregor. I'm sore afraid ye did wrang to let the glllee off, but ye knaw best. Aweel, aweel, let it gang. Nae doot I'll see ye later, mon. In peace or war, then call on the McGregor." CHAPTER Vir. How the Duel Ended. With his heart In his throat the Mc- Gregor, after discovering that the shot proceeded from the pistol of the veteran traveler, flashed his eyes toward Overton. Jack turned his face for a second toward his friend—it was colorless from the Intense nervous tension, but over it had shot a terrible grim smile, such as could only be born of complete triumph—he knew the life of his hated rival was in his hands. Livermore, of course, had stood in his tracks after his fiasco. His bronzed feature gave no sign of fear, though naturally enough he had set his teeth £0 mu» Ju UisaU »\;.-s~.f.naj u **• CHAPTER VIII. Masette. Overton settled down into a rut, waiting and working by fits and starts upon his picture. During these weeks he lived from hand to mouth, selling an occasional "pot boiler" for a pittance that just managed to keep the wolf from the door. Days glided into weeks. He worked spasmodically, wandered about London, dreamed of mighty things that he could do If invested with the touch of Midas, and sometimes spent an evening with Masette and her aunt. These social events-always had a salutary effect upon Overton, and many times he breathed blessings upon the little miniature painter for her sisterly affection, as he was pleased to consider it, which soothed him in such a wonderful manner. His painting was complete. As he stood In front of it he knew it was a masterpiece that must without a doubt bring him both fortune and glory. Oh! if she would but only wait until the day when all London echoed with' his name, and it would be an honor to know him. But the hero of many an African and Indian, trade? for*}, was ImnatifAt la his wooing, since he had reached an \ age whra<sMnan n s i t ' needs make teste If he expects to shake off the thralldom of bachelorhood and take upon himself the vows and duties of a benedict, since the older be grows the more, difficult it becomes to assume new obligations. When Overton read in the Times that the wedding was to occur on the next Thursday evening at a fashionable church he seemed turned into stone for a time. He became moody, almost sullen. He avoided those friends who had been of late such a comfort to him. Masette chanced to meet him on the street—perhaps the use of that word can hardly be allowed, since she purposely went out of her way to pass near his lodgings in the hope of seeing him, for the article concerning Fedora's coming marriage had caught her eye, too, and she began to fear for Jack again. When she saw him so moody and apparently at cross purposes with the whole world, she felt very bitter toward Fedora, and had it been 'in her power Just then to remedy matters, even at the expense of pain to herself, Masette would have only too gladly done so, for Jack married to Fedora and happy was far better than Jack miserable, despondent and-devoid ol ambition. The fatal evening came. Jack had grimly made up his mind he would by hook or crook witness the ceremony that was to darken MB life and take from him the girl he had so i°-D-S: Jooked:.UP?J& as his inspiration. knowing that a fashionable audience would fill the church, and that admission without a card would be difficult, he made friends with the organistand managed t o g e t a n Invitation to occupy a seat in the loft. Mazette insisted on accompanying him—at first he had been appalled by the thought of another witnessing his mute suffering, but she was so persistent, and her sweet presence always served to arouse his better nature, so finally he gave a reluctant consent When the organ pealed out the wedding march from "Lohengrin," Overton shut his teeth hard and waited the coming of the white procession that started down the aisle, flower girls strewing the way with rare blossoms. Fedora looked like a dream—her appearance would haunt him to his dying day. And Livermore was very handsome in his dress suit—he Appeared very proud, and had eyes for no one but the beautiful woman who knelt before the chancel rail beside him and vowed to "love, honor and obey." When Overton heard this he seemed to feel a change come over him—he knew it was false, for, loving him, how could she, truthfully promise to give to her husband the affection it implied?— his faith in womankind was dead, he believed, forever, and from that hour he could never believe in the sex again. Toward the ciose of the ceremony Fedora raised her hitherto downcast eyes, as if drawn by the subtle power of Jack's stern gaze, and looked into his face. As if an arrow had pierced her heart she turned pale and shuddered, nor did she dare raise her eyes again. Perhaps she even dreaded lest the man whom she had so cruelly jilted, whose devoted heart she had cast away after it was of no further use to her, as one might a worn-out glove, might in his righteous anger do something desperate—such things have been known ere now in high life. Altogether those last few minutes of the ceremony that should have been the proudest and happiest in her whole life were the most miserable, and she endured a small portion of the same suffering her act had brought upon Overton. All was over! The wedding procession was passing down the aisle to renewed strains of joyous music. Perhaps those who were near enough to notice wondered why the happy and envied bride should turn her head and look in a half eager, half frightened way toward the altar—they could not know that remorse was already beginning to goad her heart and that the memory of that white, set, agonized face in the organ loft would come before her with reproaches every day of her life, while the bitter accusations of a murdered conscience must many times drive her to tears when surrounded by all the beautiful things that generally go to make the sum total of a fashionablJ woman's happiness, and to pce.-eas which she had betrayed her own heart When Jack went out of the church, after the butterfly audience had rolled away in their swell turnouts, he was taciturn; but his step had an elasticity Mazette had not noticed for many a day. He accompanied Mazette to her home, but declined entering the humble abode. (To be continued.) 3S55- Gersnany's Modern Scho-is.

Delegate Rodey. of New Mexico, says: "If the house fails to pas* the admission bills you may look •to the delegates of the three territories to advance to the bar of the house together and resign their commissions. Friends of the river and harbor bill are noi^ so sanguine of its pa.-sage as they were two months ago. There are two threatening'dangers ahead. One is that western senators and •congressmen are insisting >A\ making a provision for the irrigation of lands. The other is that the bill will carry such a large appropriation that the president will be forced to veto it. Some of the old partisan lire was Injected into the proceedings of the house Wednesday when the item in tlu1 urgent' deficiency bill appropriating 1500.000 for a military post at Manila, which 1 he Democrats luive l>eeo using as a text for speeches in opposition to the Philipixine policy of the administration for the last three days, was reached. Mr. Gannon, in charge of the bill, confessed that tiie appropria tion was subject to a point of order, and it vrent out. In lieu thereof he offered an amendment to appropriate the same sum for the "shelter and protection'' of the officers and enlisted men of the army on duty in the Philippine*. This the chair held to be in order, ami it at once bevnme the subject of a very spirited debate. Wh?n the vote came to be taken the solid Republican side arose in support of It. and with the Republicans, a solitary Democrat. Cummings. of Xew York, stood up. Turning on his fellow Democrats and shaking his fist in their faces. Cummings shouted: "When 1 refuse to vote to protet-t the life of an American aoldier I hope I may be paralyzed." The amemlment was adopted, 127 to 100. and without completing the bill. th»* house adjourned. The first business in the house Friday was rhe vote upon the urgent deficiency bill. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropriations committee, demanded a separate vote upon the amendment io the bill to appropriate $.V)0.- 000 for "the protection and shelter" of the officers and enlisted men of the army serving in the Philippines. His purpose was to put the other side ou record. Wthen the department of commerce bill was tip in the senate Thursday. Hnuna said the establishment of the new department was in the interest of both capital and labor. He believed the lal»or iuterests of the country would not object to the transfer of the labor department. There was no question before tbe country be said, which demanded «*nvh careful attention as the industrial development of the country and the exj>anslon of our commerce. Mr. Hale said the United States already had captured all the foreign trade worth having. "The record of what has been accomplished by the Dingley law." continued Mr. Hale, *'is tb me the most amazing record ever exhibited to the world in the absorption of foreign trade. We have invaded England. Germany, Austria. Italy and Russia. We do not need additional markets." Mr. Hanna replied that tbe United Slates had not conquered the markets of Europe, and the markets of the world were yet an unexplored field for us,... i i L & s ^ s i i B s ^ t a l l M i i ilisMi .iy^**-jv*iL BMtti Tills Will Imttft Mother Gray's Sweet Powder* f o r cure Fererishnets, Teething Disorders, Stomach Troubles and destroy worms.

Amon^ the numbers on the program was an exceptionally fine recitation by Miss Mabel Fish which deserves special mention. The Association topic for Jan. was discused to some extent.

CROCKERY ; Public Sentiment The fofiovnng article wjw handed us for publication, which shows the general feeling of tbe citizens in this part of the county: Editor dispatch: It i* quite possiole that so far as legal proceedings are concerned the James Ryan and John Denehy Jr. tt ial is ended. TAOS. Fitzsiraraons an booest, hardworking man respected by all'who knew^nim, lies in an untimely grave andvhis widow and little children are left alone to fight lifeV battles. The two noon convicted of this most cruel murder alter paying the sum of nine hundred dollars are free to enjoy life as best they can. To say that the people are not satisfied with this sentence is but a mild interpretation of the state of pnblio sentiment. Conservative men, men not given to extravagant utterances voice the universal sentiment by saying "outrageous ." No one desired the extreme penalty of the law but that a few paltry dollars should indicate the value of this life is too much for human enddrance We cannot wonder at mob law when we are brought face to face with such a travesty on justice. John Denehy Jr. plead guilty to the charge of manslaughter. There is no doubt of bis guilt as he pleads, guilty. -Innocent men do not plead guilty to 8neb crimes. Had Ryan been found not guilty would John Denehy Jr. have then made the same plea? Does any sane man believe that John Dene by Jr. was guilty and James Ryan innocent? If James Ryan was guilty did he not commit perjury when be swore positively against the evidence of a dozen of the i est men in Hamburg? Is this the "peculiar circumstances1' that Judge Smith alludes to in his remarks to Ryan? Do«s the tact that these men denied their guilt to tbe last moment, a denial that cost Livingston county several thousand dollars and diagged tbe widow through the harrowing details ot this terriblw trial, constitute the basis of tbe "mitigating circumstance" alluded to by Judge Smith?

UOt, by touls Klopsch, N. T.) Washington, Feb. 2 . - I n this discourse Dr. Talmage calls attention to causes of thanksgiving that are sel- 4 o m reeognlsod and shows bow to cuittrate a eheerfiil spirit; text, Psalms xxxill, 2, "Bint; unto him wtth a psaltery and an instrument of tsn strings." A musician as well as poet and conqueror and king was David, the aut h o r of my text. He first composed t h e sacred rhythm and then played it <*jpoa a harp, striking and plucking the ^strings with his fingers and thumbs. T h e harp is the oldest of musical instrument*. Jubai Invented it, and he w a s the seventh descendant from Adam. Its music was sugested by t h e t w a n g of the bowstring. Homer refers to the harp in the "Iliad." I t is t h e most consecrated of all instruments, it has a tenderness and sweetness belonging to no other instrument t h a t 1 know of. It enters into the richest symbolism of the Holy Scriptures. The raptures of heaven are represented under the figure of "harpers liarping o n their harps." We learn from coins and medals that in the Maccabean a g e ' t h e harp had only three strings, i n other ages it had eight strings. David's harp had ten •trings, and when his great seal was afire with the theme his sympathetic voice, accompanied by exquisite vibration of the chords-, must have been overpowering. Have yon ever thanked God for delightsome food? What vast multitudes -area-hungered from day to day or are obliged to take food not toothsome or pleasant to the taste? What millions a r e in straggle-for bread! Have you thanked God for eyesight n * originally given to you or, after it was dimmed by age, for the glass that brought the page of the book within the compass of 4he vision? Have you realized the privation those suffer to whom the day is as black as the night and who never see the face of father or mother or wife or child or friend? T h e man of millions of dollars who recently went blind from atrophy of optic nerve would have been willing to give all his millions and become a day laborer if he could have kept off the blindness t&at gradually crept over his vision. Have you ever given thanks for two -«yes—media between the soul inside and the world outside, media that no '•one but the infinite God, could create? The eye, the window of our immortal nature, the gate through which all colors march, the picture gallery of the soul! Without the eye this world is a big dungeon. I fear that many of us 'have never given one hearty expression of gratitude tor treasure of sight, t h e loss of which is the greatest disaster possible unless it be the loss of the mind. • Further, notice how many pass through life ia silence because the earirefuses to do its office. They never Jhear music, vocal or instrumental. T h e thunder that rolls its full diapason through the heavens does not startle t h e prolonged silence. The air that has for us so many melodies has no sweet sound for them. They live in a quietude that will not be broken until faeaven breaks in upon them with its harmonies. The bird voices of the "springtime, the chatter of the children, the sublime chant of the sea, the solo of the cantatrtce and the melody of t h e great worshiping assemblies mean nothing to them. Have we devoutly thanked God for these two wonders of -pur hearing, with which we can now kput ourselves under the charm of sweet -s6und and also carry in our memories the infantile song with which our mothers put us to sleep, and the voices of the great prima donnas like Lind and Pattl and Nellson, and the sound o f instruments like the violin of the ^Swedish performer, or the cornet of Arbuckle, or the mightiest of all instruments, with the hand of Morgan •on the keys and his foot on the pedal, or some Sabbath tune like "Coronat i o n , " in the acclaim of which you -could hear the crowns of heaven coming down at the feet of Jesus? Many vof us have never thanked God for this -hearing apparatus of the souL That is one of the ten strings of gratitude that we ought always to thrum after .'hearing the voice of a loved one or •the last strain of an oratorio, or the ' d a n g of a cathedral tower. Further, there are many who never recognise how much God gives them when he gives them sleep. Insomnia -Is a calamity wider known in our land than in any other. Sleeplessness is an /American disorder. If it has not touched you and yon can rest for seven or -eight, hours without waking-*if for t h a t length of time In every twenty- "four hours yon can be free of all care a n d . worriment and your nerves are returned and roar limbs escape from Ml fatigue and the rising sun finds you a •new man, body, miad and soul—you tion. «, ?be> French nnancis|-, almost slumber to b e bought in any market." He was $ l f n t Sleep i s a tttyuijur from htm 4pho never sleeps. ' 0 & t h e feilc(- ties of slumber! Let all who have th!i real benefaction celebrate it. That is o o ^ Q f t b » sweetest swings lp aU the instrument of ten strings. \ ?urth,er, Jet us gratefully acknow* edge the power of physical locomotion. To be able to go where we wish and all unaided—what a kindness! What multitudes have to call in the aid of cane and crutch and invalid's chair, and their whole life is a hinderment! How hard to get about with lack of strong and healthy and supple limbs! Con* gratulated ought you all to be if you have the usual physical endowment, and sympathised with ought all those to be who can neither walk nor climb nor enter upon any great activities. That is one of the thousands of reasons why I hate war with, a complete hatred. It takes off with bullet or shell or surgeon's knife the capacity of men t o achieve their own livelihood or do the work for which they would otherwise be fully qualified. Brave men, self-sacrificing men, for the rest of their life are put on the limits and strangely suffer in stormy weather from limbs amputated. How much of the human family in every century has been cut up and Shot to pieces and passed into mutilation! American manhood had hardly recovered from the lacerations of the war of the Revolution when it was called to be carved by the swords and stabbed with the bayonets and blackened with the gunpowder of 1812. Hardly recovered was our American manhood from that when the war with Mexico began its butchery. Hardly was American manhood recovered from that before the civil war took hold of it and dug its grave trench through the north and its grave trench through the south. Hardly was our American manhood recovered from that when the Spanish war came, with its malaria and crowded hospitals. Thank God that now four of the greatest nations are allied in good understanding— the United States. England, Germany and Russia—and if they will do the right things they can forever stop national and international strife and put an end to wholesale amputation. Further, on the instrument of ten strings celebrate the possession of our reason. A severe stroke upon the head or a sudden calamity or any one of fifty kinds of accident might dethrone our reason and leave us. worse off than the brute, for the brute has a substitute for reason in what is called instinct, but a man's brain shattered, and he has neither mind nor instinct. The asylums for the insane, though all the time multiplying, are not enough to shelter the demented. Through the cramming system employed in many of the schools of this country there are tens of thousands of children having their brain depleted. Philosophers at ten years of age, astronomers at eleven years of age, geologists at twelve years of age. They will be first on examination day, but last in all matters of useful and successful life. It would be amusing to see how much children are expected to learn and know if it were not connected with the tragedies of damaged intellects which follow. Another string of this instrument 1 now touch—friendships, deep and abiding, by which 1 refer to those people who, when good or bad motive may be ascribed to you, ascribe the good; those concerning whom you do not wonder which side they will take when you are under discussion; those who would more gladly serve you than serve themselves; those to whom you can tell everything without reserve; those who are first in your home by person or by telegram when you have trouble. Oh, what a blessing to have plenty of friends! Aye, if you have only one good friend, you are blessed in that glad possession. With one such friend you can defy the world. If you have been through some great crisis and you have one friend left, thank God and celebrate it on the sweetest harpstring. "While all this is so," says some one, "there are so many things that others have which I have not." I reply, it is not what we get, but what we are. that decides our happiness. With the bare necessities of life many are unspeakably happy, while others wtth all the luxuries are impersonations of misery, your heart right, all Is right; your heart wrong, all is wrong. But we must tighten the cords of our harp and retune it while we celebrate gospel advantages. The highest style of civilisation' the world has ever seen is American civilization, and it Is built out of t b e gospel of pardon and good morals. That gospel rocked our cradle, and it will epitaph our grave. It soothes our sorrows^ brightens our hopes, inspires our courage, forgives our sins and saves our soote. It takes * man who is all wrong^and makes him all right. What that gospel has done for k you and me Is a story that w e cah never fully tell. What it has dona for the world and will ye£ do for the nations it will take the thousand years of the millennium to celebrate. Oh* what a world this w^U be when it rotates to its orbit a redeemed planet, girdled with spontaneous harvests and enriched by orchards whose fruits are sneakiest aadvredundant, and the teat pain will have been banished and the last tear wept and the last sToan uttered, and there shall be nothing to hurt or destroy in all Gods holy mountain! All that and more will come to pass, for "the mouth of the Lord hath spoken 1t/* , So far I have mentioned n i n e of the ten strings of the instrument of gratitude. I now come to the tenth and the last. I mention it 4sst that it may be the more memorable—heavenly anticipation. By the grace of God we are going to move Into, a place so much better than this that on arriving we will wonder that we were for so many years so loath to make the transfer. After we have seen Christ face to face and rejoiced over our departed kindred there are some mighty spirits we will want to meet soon after we pass through the gates. We want to see and will see David, a mightier king in heaven than he ever was on earth, and we will talk with him about psalmody and get from him exactly what he meant when he talked about the instrument of ten strings. We will confront Moses, who will tell of the lawgiving on rocking Sinai and of his mysterious burial, with no one but God present We will see Joshua, and he will tell us of the coming down of the walls of Jericho at the blast of the ram's horn and explain. to us that miracle—how the sun and moon could stand still without demolition of the planetary system. We will see and talk with Daniel, and he will tell us how he saw Belshazzar's banqueting hall turned Into a slaughter house and how the lions greeted him with loving fawn instead of stroke of cruel paw. We will see and talk with Solomon, whose palaces are gone, but whose Inspired epigrams s t a n d o u t stronger and stronger as the centuries pass. We will see Paul and hear from him how Felix trembled before him, and the audience of skeptics on Mars hill were confounded by his sermon on the brotherhood of man,'what he saw at Ephesus and Syracuse and Phillppi and Rome and how dark was the Mamertine dungeon and how sharp the ax that beheaded him on the road to Ostia. What a thrill of excitement for us when we gaze upon the heroes and heroines who save their lives for the truth. We will see the gospel proclaimed Chrysostoru and Bourdaloue and Whitefield and the Wesleys and John Knox. We will see the great Christian poets Milton aqd Dante and Watts and Mrs. Hemans and Frances Havergal. Yea, all the departed Christian men and women of whatever age or nation. But there will be one focus toward which all eyes will be directed.

Put that among your heavenly anticipations. Now take down your harp of ten strings and sweep all the chords, making all of them tremble with a great gladness. I have mentioned just ten— delightsome food, eyesight, hearing, healthful sleep, power of physical locomotion, illumined nights, mental faculties in equipoise," friendships of life, gospel advantages and heavenly anticipations. Let us make less complaint and offer more thanks, render less dirge and more cantata. Take paper and pen and write down in long columns your blessings. I have recited only ten. To express all the mercies Ood has bestowed you would have to use at least three, and I think five, numerals, for surely they would run up into the hundreds and the thousands. "Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he Is good, for his mercy endureth forever." Qet into the habit of rehearsal of the brightnesses of life. Notice how many more fair days there are than foul, how many more good people than bad you meet. Set your misfortunes to mus*ic, as David opened his "dark sayings on a harp." If it has been low tide heretofore, let the surges of mercy that are yet tc roll in upon you reach, high water mark. All things wilt, work together for your good, and heaven is not far ahead. Wake up all the ten strings. Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto him.that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb forever.

When a laxative is neededHhe remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be. such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would hare them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please to remember, the full name of the Company — CALIFORNIA FIG SYR.UP C O . - is printed on the front of every package. In order to get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine only. <r M ^ S ^ -0^ - . ^ ,.. •••• / < : XfeSS* •••••• L - ^ W 3 ^ iMtat; WQ [ c . . -tfo'$SuperiorF&DDER PLANTS] kjALA*'^ VICTORIA RAPE -oJd«£ £ no < about MnUlesabakdof Dwarf Essex Eapeia \bo»bln«a»,ln vlxorandBoonahiagQutuity. it I makes tt pomthletemowawlDe and aLeep taBdeatUealloverAmerteaatlr. a]b.

The department of agriculture has published an instructive pamphlet entitled "Earth Roads," giving valuable suggestion for the betterment of the public highways* Attention is called to various error's in laying out roads, especially the common one of endeavoring to secure routes coverng the shortest distance between fixed points. For this purpose the road is often made to go over a hill, instead of around it. A road half way around a hill or half way through a valley is sometimes no longer than a road over a hill or through a valley. The bulletin contains 20 illustrations and is for free distribution.

The Ann Arbor Railroad Co., by means of an interesting publiccompetition has at last obtained an acceptable name for the magnifficient summer hotel which it has erected at the terminal of th« road at Frankfort, Mich. The hotel will be known as the "Royal Frontenac. Several thousand responces were received and the- management has finally decided the important matter by accepting the parts of two suggestions. Miss Laura Sehm and Miss Ida Jarnac of Cadillac proposed Frontenac. One week later Miss Effie M. Bennett, of Saginaw, proposed the name De Frontenac. Within the last month T. W. McCreary, manager of the Hotel Victory at Putin Bay, proposed several namefi all of which were prefixed with "Koyal," when the company decided upon the name "Royal Frontenac." It was decided to divide the prize money of £50 between' the three ladies and $25 additional was given to Mr. Mc- Creary. The significance of the name selected will be understood when it is known that Frontenac, who was the gOvenor of Quebec for a number of years, provided Pere Marquette w*th the means to explore and to preach the gospel in northern Michigan. Father Mar-1 quette is believed to have died and to have been interred in the plot of ground finally selected as the site of the new hotel. The "Royal Frontenac" is to be opened to the public on June 15. ters. "And I want you to help me to geH them, Sally," 1 said. "Let me get intr Mr. Howard's room and take what be longs to me. And you will, won't you?* ''It's a splendid idea," said Sally "You'll have to wait until lunch is over and Miss Peck and Mrs. Jones go out. Then mother will lie down for a nap and Biddy will be getting things ready for dinner and Sarah rubbing the; forks and glasses. I'll get the pase j key. Of course we have one for every room. Now, do stay for lunch, darling." j And cold shivers ran up my back; when Sully unlocked the door, and W€ j were really in the room—his room. ! "I suppose he keeps his letters in his j desk," said she. "1 know he doesn't J p u t them in his trunk. This key unlocks all the drawers and desks in the house. We keep it to lend the lodgers when they lose their key rings. Now, I shall lock you in-and come for you in an hour." I drew a chair to the desk and Sat down and turned the key in the lock. There was nothing inside but some note paper and a little package of foolscap and pens and an inkstand and a blotting pad. I shut the desk and looked ta the I drawer. Tncre was~a_cigar bos". | "Oh, dear," I thought, "where can 1 , look now?" And I was about to try my ' key on the drawers when I beard the ' street door open and shut and feet l ascend the stairs. Then a key rattled in the lock, and I! did the only possible thing to avoid discovery— at least for a moment. j There was a wardrobe cupboard with curtains before it. I ran toward It and stood bolt upright in the corner as Ben —I mean Mr. Howard—entered, followed by another man. They shut the door and sat down. They lighted their pipes.

You see that photograph on the mantelpiece? We were engaged to each other," said Ben, "and I loved her better than my life, and I thought she was very fond of me. But you know my grandfather cut me out of his will, and then a rich fellow began to call upon her, and she picked a quarrel with me—that's all. She's a mercenary little wretch, but I—I am a fool, Henry. I love her still. I shall keep her photograph all my life and her letters to read and kiss. I would not give them up." "Stuff and nonsense!" said this Mr. Henry—heartless brute! "You'll find a better girl in no time." "There is but one woman in the world for me," said Ben. "There, now, I'm done. You know my trouble. I'll hide it from the world, and you will never speak of it to any one, I know." "You'll not have any trouble in sis months." said the horrible Mr. Henry.

I was puffing quietly when I iwas startled by a farmer sitting on a trunk exclaiming: "No, 1401, by thunder!" The baggageman looked at him inquiringly. "An' you're the baggageman too." "Of cdurse I'm the baggageman." "You was a-runnin' this car when we bed a weddln' an' a weddln'tower all to onct," replied the farmer. "You don't mean it!" "I do mean It, an* I never see any one connected with that little affair that I don't shiver, an' then I want to hug 'em. I have bad some close shaves in my life, an' that was the closest I ever had. If it hadn't been fur that feller that fust helped us out an' then prevented my gettin* a bullet through my head, I'd 'a' been slumberin' all these years in our buryin' grourfd." "You refer to the time when the gun Went off," said the baggageman. "I confess I was as much frightened as you were. To tell the truth, after I heard the report I expected to see you fall and was surprised when you didn't." "My friends," I said, offering both a Havana cigar, "I never can bear to see people enjoying a good thing without sharing in the amusement Tell me the story." "You see, stranger, Ann Eliza Perkins 'n' me, bein' bent on gitten hitched, an' me not bein' acceptable to the ole man, we lighted out one mornln' from her home in her paw's buggy, calculatin'^to ketch tire train fur Quincy that stopped at our station at 5:35. "Waal, we was a-drivin' silentlike outen the gate when up goes a winder, an' ole Perkins' head stuck o u t I give the mare a c u t an' we went lickety split down the road. We hed three miles to make to the station an' twenty minutes to do it in. But it didn't make no difference as to our time. It was the time of the train an' the time the ole man would make a-chasm' us, fer we knowed he'd follow with his gun. We made the station in fifteen minutes, but as we wasn't on a prairie we couldn't see whether the train was a-comln' or not Tact was the track run around the base of a hill, an' we couldn't even hear the engine a-puffln'. "You bet that was a long five minutes, Ann Eliza up on the platform a-lookln' fur her dad, me with my ear down on the rails a-Iistenin' fur the train. " ' H e ' s a-corain'!' cried Ann Eliza, a-turnin' pale. "'So's the train,' said I, a-shakin' with excitement, a-hearin' the rattlin' of the wagon an' the click of the train on the rails. "When the train drawed up, we got inter the baggage car, to be 1'urtherest from the ole man. When we moved on. I put my head outen the door, an' there he was, a-hangin' on to the rail of the last car. " 'Game's upP I said, lugubrus. "'Not a bit,' said a Chicago drum mcr who had folleyed us inter the car 'Wonder cf there's a parson aboard.' "'There's no time to find out.' I said. 'S'poct the ole man's a-comin' through the train mighty fast.' " 'I'll play parson myself.' said the drummer, an', whippin' off his cravat, he tied a white handkerchief around and meet me at the station." Then Henry walked away, and Bee —yes, Ben, my poor Ben—took a bundle of letters from his bosom and kissed them and took down ray photograph and kissed t h a t and then, having pulled a Jbag from the corner, he walked straight to the wardrobe' and drew the curtain back. The next moment he was staring at me and I at him, • "Is it her ghost?" I heard him mutter, and I—well, there I was. It was not a situation to impart dignity. "It is only me in the flesh. Ben," •! said. "I wish I was a ghost so that I could vanish. And now you can boast all your life if you like. And I will say something. Firstly, I did not care about your grandfather's horrid money. Secondly, I—1—only meant to tiff a little—not to break off—only to frighten you.

The inhabitants of the little town of Somersby, in England, where Tennyson was born, are frank in giving their opinion of their distinguished fellow townsman. One old woman thus related her impressions of the poet to a visitor: " 'E was a very quoiet man. 'E seemed as if 'e was 'alf asleep, with 'is oyes 'alf shut an' peepin', an* 'e used to poke at ye, loike i' fun, wi' 'Is stick. 'E 'ad such a lot of 'air an' a long beard, an'," sinking her voice confidentially. " 'e never looked very clean; no, 'e didn't." And this somewhat startling testimony was promptly confirmed by her husband, who added: "If you'd met Mm gooln' along this 4usty rooad, you'd 'a' takken '1m for a tramp gooin' to Brigg for a night's lodgln'." " ' I hain't a-goln' to be married by n bogus pnrson,' said Ann Eliza. 'I want a certiiicate, an' a ginuine one too.' " 'You*don't chtch on to the game,* said the drummer. 'When the ole man conies, he'll think you're married, that he's too late to break off the match, an' he'll .give you his blessin'.

"Am I, indeed, to be left alone for eight days?" "It Is true," replied the priest sadly. "I must go. I am summoned to, report to my superior at San Luis Bey, and the journey will require eight days. But how can I go? The Indians can get along well enough, j&ut wbaVli you, heart of wood, what will become of my cats?' Next day, as Padre Mateo trudged slowly down the road, a sardonic smile came upon the countenance of the wicked sacristan. - It was uearing midday. ^Already Ignatius, the oldest and leanest and hungriest of the cats, bad appeared, sniffing, to learn if dinner was being cooked. "I will teach thee, villain!" muttered the sacristan fiercely, as he busied himself building a fire. "I will teach thee to sit and glower at me* while I work till my body shakes with weariaess!" When the meal was ready, Guadeloupe went to the door. Come, Garlotta, dearest! Come, my PedroJ Come, Carlos!" he called tenderly. "Hasten within, for thy dinner awaits I Be quick, then; all of you!" When the cats were seated, Guadeloupe, after tightly closing the doors, hurried to the chapel. From the altar he selected the largest crucifix, and, bearing this in the left hand and a great whip behind him in his right hand, he returned to the padre's bouse. Holding the crucifix before him, the sacristan entered the room where the cats were assembled. "Now, wretches, brutes, villains!" he shouted, and at each word came a cut from the whip. "Fiends, mousters, ungrateful beasts, receive your punishment!" The astonished creatures leaped from their seats and tore madly about the little rtom, but they could not get beyond the reach of Guadaloupe's whip. He lashed right and left, still holding the crucifix before him, till at last he could no longer wield the whip. Thrice each day a similar scene was enacted, till at the sight of the crucifix the creatures would spring wildly from their seats and seek to escape. Padre Mateo returned at night and was welcomed cordially by the perj fidious sacristan. In the morning Gua- 'daloupe called the padre to the breakfast m^al. "But—where are the cats?" asked Padre Mateo. Guadaloupe shrugged his shoulders, with a look of sadness. "Speak not of fehein, reverend padre!" *!Btit I want my cats."

The arrest of Clint Nelson, of Sumner township, probably the wealtb/iest farmer In Gratiot county, has resulted in the unraveling of a .series of sensational miseries. Some time ago the bain of Mrs. Frank Crakes of Wheeler township was broken into and several articles stolen. A little later a building owned by a Mr. (UUIM, at Pleasant Valley, was entered and a light double harness taken, and a few days ago a school house in Coe was broken open and some articles stolen. Everything Indicated that the same persons did the work. Sheriff Parrlsh picked up some clues that seemed to pro>;e conclusively the existence of a gang directed by a central head, the operations of which covered a scries of years, and he arrested James Hazzard, his sou. Homer, aud William Marble of Coe township and Martin Hakes, of Porter township. Nelson seems to have been the one who received the stolen pi-operty from the gang. 11« owns more than a section otv laud, and is fattcuiug 3U<) head of cattle and 500 sheep this winter, besides feeding 44» horses and about 800 sheep and cattle.

Chuivh, who died in a little hovel near Pine Creek, about three milti* west of Holland, ou January 21, Is cleared up. Chuivh was a close-mouthed, man, according to all accounts, and the young woman with him was not disposed to lie very soc? able. SJie did not fraternize with her neighbors, and the village talk was that there was something in the man's history to account for the secluded life he led, and. as the villagers declared, coniijclleil the young woman to livf with him. She seemed to be contented enough in spite of their poverty, however, and fond of her elderly companion. From Buffalo, N. Y,. it Is learned that Church was a lawyer there and seemed to have a good many cases before the city and county court*, but seldom one that had any money In it for him. About a year ago he disappeared with a woman with whom he had often been seen in company. His disappearance did not raise a social disturbance. Horrible Death*.

This last act of the drama biota the whole thing out of my life. Fedora now belongs to another, and under no conditions oonld ever again be the queen of my heart. I have cast her out, as unworthy, and closed the doors forever—hermetically sealed them, I trust. I could not if I tried tejl you how much good you have done me. When I go hence—for I shall soon leave England behind nuL —I wiH carry the remembrance of your friendship .with me to the end. Mazette, good-night, and heaven bless you, child!" He went straight home to h i s attic studio. One set purpose governed his every move now, and this to put Fedora, fair and false, out of his mind forever. Since through a woman's hand this night had witnessed the sacrifice of his hope8, his alms, it might as well be complete. In this bitter spirit he entered the humble attic that served him as a studio, while a cot i n a corner granted him a bed. Lighting a lamp, he first of all built a little fire upon the hearth, for, strange to say, the upper room was possessed of a fireplace. It was not because the night was cool that he did this, but with, quite another definite object in view. Finally he walked over to the easel and snatched away the cloth that covered it. Long end earnestly Overton surveyed the magical work of his hands—so perfect had been the witchery that guided^hls love:lnspired brush that the very breath of life seemed to have been infused into the* canvas, and ofie could almost expect Fedora to step down from the easel, creature of flesh and Mood, as Galatea, of sculptor fame, had done of old. At length the artist heaved a heavy sigh. It required all the determination of his nature to carry out the desperate resolve he had made, but, though it seemed like slaying his love anew, he did not falter.Human eyes shouM never again behold this work of his genius —conceived in adoration, and worked out through the days when her love hung over him like a benison, it must cease to exist on this black night when the last spark of his affection w a s extinguished and the bonds uniting him to the happy past were severed forever. He took up h i s pallette knife and approached t h e canvas—his hand was firm, though his face appeared very pallid in the flickering light. Suddenly, as the rush of emotion became too great to be longer withstood, he dashed the blade through the canvas, splitting it from top to bottom most ruthlessly. The first stroke seemed to loosen the passion which had been so long restrained, and with savage, almost brutal emphasis, he cut and slashed furiously right and left, up and down. Thus In a very brief space of time all that represented his many months of weary yet loving labor, into which he had put h i s very life, so to speak, was a wooden frame from which dangled dozens of streamers. The masterpiece was as utterly destroyed as his own ambition. Not content, he ground the frame into pieces under his heel and cast the wreck upon the fire that had been purposely started upon t h e hearth to receive it. "Burn," he said, bitterly, a s the flames greedity seized upon the fragments; "burn out as my love has done, leaving nothing but bltetr, cold ashes. Henceforth I live but to seek power and wealth. The past shall be a ghastly blank—the future I will build by the power of brain and brawn, until the hour comes for my revenge. Something tells me it will sooner or later reach me—»-that to him who waits and works everything Is given. And now to begin to live a new existence." Two days later a sailing vessel left London bound for the old Spanish Main, and among those who shipped before the mast, thanks to his early yachting training, was Jack Ovorton, gone to follow the beckoning finger of fortune. CHAPTER IX. In the I*and of Revolution. San Jose, the capital of' that sturdy little republic of Central America which has through its sudden revolutions made Qautarica famous in history— San Jose waa in Its periodical state of eruption. """ Of course, a revolution was in prog* ress. There was probably n o very heavy loss of life during each actual upheaval, though a few men might b e accidentally killed—the Qautaricane, like ail People of miked blood, being partly Spanish a n d Indian halfbreedi, love spectacular display, and while these battles always create a great racket, there w a s little blood actually split, the party that w a s outnumbered usually yielding up the palm a n d retiring to recuperate, while the victors, instead of following up the advantage, calmly settled down to enjoy the fruits of their labor, amid much merriment and feasting. There was one man in San Jose on this particular day, who, while a noncombatant, had' resolved to see the whole business as t a r as possible. So Jack Overton sallied forth, after arming himself and endeavored to gain an idea a s to how much progress the revolution was making. He found the soldiers of Roblado, the president, holding their own well. After moving around from one quarter to another and seeing - that the whole affair was on the guerilla order, Overton w a s forced to sit down and laugh at the ludicrous aspect of the "battle" by means of which the fate of a republic was to be settled; . Evidently Montejo had overrated the strength of h i s backing, for the wearers of the green cockade were outclassed, and already several of their number had been stretched hors de combat. There was something in the clamor and the occasional whistle of a bullet over his head that just suited Overton's present mood. He was even rash on several occasions, and had narrow escapes, but the little cherub that sat up aloft watching over his fortunes seemed to exercise those would-be fatal bullets so that they always just fell a Uttle short and in matetrs of this sort a miss is considered-as good as a mile. The day was near its end, and plainly the laurels of victory rested with the followers of the dynasty already entrenched in authority—their shouts had been more vociferous than the others, and in all probability they haci fired two shots against one from the revolutionists. This inspired them with new confidence, and the red cockade began to grow bolder, even advancing, as though determiner! to chase their enemies out of town ere the sun dropped into the western sea, over whose bosom he hung like a globe oT fire. It was about this time when Montejo and his sympathizers were making their last stand while awaiting the friendly shades of night to cover their hasty retreat, that Overton found himself, somewhat unexpectedly to be sure, drawn into the affair at issue. It chanced that in their eagerness to chase the invaders out beyond the town limits ere dusk set in—by mutual consent this feature seemed to be the manner of deciding which side had won—tne i-.ection of government forces led by General Barrajo rather overdid the matter. At any rate the first, last and only hand-to-hand conflict of the day occurred under Jack's own eyes, when a detachment of the green cockades suddenly appearing, surrounded the valorous general and* demanded his surrender. Although Bavrajo was a most fiercelooking type of a Central American general, with his mustache curled up like two simitars, and his left breast covered with gorgous medals and decorations, Jack had been wont to look upon him pretty much in the light of a modern Bom bastes Furioso. and could hardly believe there was anything of a game spirit back of this assumed ferocity. To his surprise and delight the general proved quite equal to the occasion. He faced h i s enemies, waving his sword like a knight of old, and, launching forth a volley of Spanish expletives that should have paralyzed their craven hearts, but failed to do so. Then came the crash of battle. The general's lone companion was spitted upon a sword after bringing down a couple of the enemy, and Barrajo himself was sorely pressed by those who, recognizing in him the.real head and brains of the present dynasty, were grimly determined to get rid of him, so that the next revolution might prove a success. It was cut and thrust, slash and parry, and machete against sword. As they stood three to one. with little hope of the general's followers reaching the scene m time to take a hand in the tragic affair, it began to look as though -Barrajo had reached the end of his rope, like all men do sooner or later, with weapons in their hands, in Central America. Jack's love of fair play, not to speak of his friendship for the general, urged him to shy his castor into the ring. He Uttle dreamed how fortune was dealing out the cards to him Juat then, and w>at a marrekm* " H e f c r j w t ^ W ft font yyHfffflfljiflt r j n j ^ n t f c l j ^ would eventually sweep In with the re- retimiM ttorn an, expedition into the BttlUvOf this day's good work. Having reaolved- to lend. Barrajo' a helping hand, h e dashed forward with his revolver, aiming to wound rather than slay. Thus beset in the rear, And threatened with the whirling blade of t h e soldier in front; the three wearers of the green cockade became utterly demoralized, and in a panic J e d , t w o of them bearing wounds t o remind them of t h e day's doings. ' When Jack rushed u p to congratulate the general on h i s victor, the noble Gautarican, who had counted himself a s good a s a dead man, threw both arms around h i s deliverer and fell upon h i s breast, swearing i n purest Castilian that h i s life henceforth belonged to the valiant American, and that he would lie awake nights seeking to repay the great debt he owed him. The revolution having ended a t sunset, and the defeated invaders of Gautarican territory being on t h e run for friendly hiding places upon neighboring soil, the capital was given over to a spasm of mad rejoicing, and every one, man, woman and child, seemed to believe it depended wholly upon their individual efforts to make the affair a success. This aspect of the Centra) American character struck Overton even more forcibly than the peculiar tactics' of the day's battle. A s an artist he could appreciate anything that bordered npon the bizarre and remarkable, and hence quickly determined to accept the warm Invitation of h i s friend, General Barrajo, to visit the public hall, in order to see still more of the singular habits and customs of this hot-blooded people, with whom he had, at least for the lime being, cast h i s fortunes. , There are times in t h e lives of all men when they appear to be mere creatures of circumstances, buffeted upon a sea of chance, and yet, upon looking back, one can say that all these events were not links in a chain that boir his fortunes, and the absence of any one would mean the wreck of his ship. Overton believed—indeed, he often swore the fact over and over again to himself—that his heart was dead so far as the fair sex waa concerned—be that as it might, it forced no barrier to the instinct that bade him as nn artist look a second and a third time at the queen of the dance, about whom the attention of the multitude seemed to breathlessly center. She was a magnificent creature, this daughter ot the south, of graceful mien and dazzling loveliness, formed in the most voluptuous mold of Iberian beauty, whose complexion showed every violet vein through its veil of luscious brown. Her hair was "such as Athene herself might have envied" for tint, and mass, and ripple. Her eyes blazed like diamonds from a cavern, while her lips pouted of themselves, by habit, or nature, into a perpetHal kiss. The excitement of the dance had called the carmine into her cheeks until it put to bluah the crimson flowers of the grenadine with which' her black hair waa wreathed. Her eyes blazed with a fire bred of the fierce measures and the ardent passions of the tropics. More than once her dusky orbs met the admiring glance of the artist, and he could see the invitation extended in the impassioned look she gave him, but each time he shook his head and smiled. As the dance went on. the crowd about the estrada resolved itself into two factions, each led by a richly dressed young patrician, both of whom were evidently aspirants for the hand of the bewitching Circe. The women dancing upon the estrada chattered among themselves evidently jealous of the attention paid to Dona Juanita, the beautiful one, who, proud and palpitating, clearly felt the power which made her the beauty queen of the fiesta. The rival lo«ers, from their places on opposite sides of the estrada, scowled ominously, and spoke slightingly of each other's bravery and courage. Thei radherents caught up the refrain until taunts and jeers were freely bandied between them. It was apparent that the storm was about to burst, when suddenly the music stopped and there came a cry of: "Chammara y Machete!" (Sash and sword.) At the sound the men , exchanged looks of evident satisfaction, and the women left the estrada. taking up position*, among the spectators. All left but Circe. That superb, self-contained figure stood upon the hard-stamped floor like a living Venus of flushed bronze, her complexion heightened by the dance, her bright eyes gleaming like a coal. Her tiny feet still kept in motion, though the dance had ceased, seeming to await impatiently the* beginning of the new measure. It soon came. (To be continued.) Biff Ord«r for Wntche*.

The. ants were making t h e most of the aphis juice during the summer days, knowing that the supply would fall off later when the aphides laid their eggs. (Nole here the superior mental equipoise of the ant, which neither betrays surprise nor writes to the newspapers when her cows begin to lay eggs.) These eggs t h e ants would store over winter, tending them with the utmost care until spring, when the young aphides are brought out and placed on the shoots of the daisy to mature and provide food again during the hot weather. This far-sightedness is unexampled in the animal kingdom. Other insects and animals put away stores for the winter, to be sure, but the ant is the only one of them that breeds its own food supply. Having taken her fill of the sweet juice on this particular day, Formica noticed that the aphis which she had been milking was in a position on the leaf which might expose it to observation of some aphldivorous insect. She immediately descended, to the ground, when she obtained a mouthful of earth, and. again climbing up the daisy stalk, built a tiny shed over the cow, going back and forth r-everal times to bring up sufficient material."—Frank Marshall White la Pearson's. *< v ;, • ' & ' . % • ' • * ' • , r . v • * . . v ' ,K . . i' • . y S ' ; v i ' -"">:•.«:-''. ., '.

We had a very rouitn voyage nearly all the way. On the night of Oct. 21 we had the most terrific storm I ever witnessed, It blew us 150 miles off from the scheduled route. I thought every minute tbe ship would go uptide down. It was irapossille to stick to the berth. Nearly all the passengers were terribly sick. I was not sick, but thought some ot my past deeds and future prospects. After leaving 'Frisco we did not get sight of land until Nov. 7 when we passed some of the Ladrone Islands. There we saw four volcanoes, one of which we were quite close to. On Sunday morning Nov 10 when I got up we were in sight of the north coast ol Luzon and got a good view of the city of Aparri, a place of 100,- 000 inhabitants. We did not lose sight of land again. We sailed along the west coast through the China sea until we entered Manila Bay. About 10 o'clock .uonday night we anchored in the bay, three mires out of Manila, On Monday morning tbe health officers came on and examined and vaccinated us all before we could land. They then took us ashore in small launches, I nave not been assigned yet, but think ( will be sent to the province of Leyte 2(0 miles south of here.

Then, too, although she had never met Mr. Van Dyke, he was the one person in the world whom she believed she hated. Had he not seen It ' 3 Copyright, 1902, by Daily S t o r y Publishing Company * 8 h e sat on the top rail of the ram* Trflns-old fence and looked critically at 4he landscape before her. Her hat w a s tipped from her white forehead, releasing a dosen tendril-like yellow curhY, slightly dampened by her walk fa the summer sun* Her short skirt was a trifle higher than her governess — t h e only mother she had ever known —would have sanctioned, revealing a round and pretty ankle dressed in 4 a l n t y black silk hose; and under one •arm she carried a box of paints and -brushes. In her lap a light camp stool vested. "It is pretty," she said, after a time, "'and it is absurd for me to attempt to l>aint it; but what can one do? We must begin ambitious work sometime, •or we will never be classed among the immortals of art. 'Hitch your wagon t o a star,* or Oh! oh!" The quotation was cut short by an ominous cracking of decayed rails and the next moment the pretty girl with t h e yellow curls and the high ambition had sat dowu very hard and very suddenly in a patch of clover on the othsr side of the fence. " you cannot hope to become famous," she added calmly enough, though tears came to the blue eyes as she spoke. Then, before she could recover herself and her equilibrium a calm voice back of her asked, "May I help you up?" Dorothy Mann turned quickly. A : bearded man, with a much worn suit -*of corduroy, and carrying a heavy sake, was holding out a helping hand to her. "'No, thank you," she answered, getting to her feet with all the dignity at her command, while tier cheeks grew becomingly red. "1 • I The fence is not very strong." "No," said he gravely, "it isn't. I hope to get around to it this week, however, and will repair it as well as 1 can." Dorothy took the camp stool he was offering her and looked at the man as •if she had expected the interruption to her noble resolve. < "I suppose you are one of Mr. Van Dyke's workmen?" she said. His sang-froid, with/the evident commonness of attire seemed strangely incongruous to her. - "I am Yes, Miss," he said, touching his hat respectfully. The motion was not awkward, and the hat seemed inclined to come all the way o l in place of being merely disturbed momentarily by his hand. A throb of artistic fervor made itself felt in the litt l e artist's breast. The newcomer was good looking, and she made a quick resolve. * "Are you busy now?" she asked, in Tier most business-like tone. "If you - are n o t I would like to have you pose vfor me to paint you. Half an hour will be long enough. You can do it easily, I am sure, and it would be half a dollar extra for you, without work. Of course Mr. Van Dyke would lose your' time while I have it, but b» is a rich man, I understand, and he would not know anything about It." A brief smile flitted over the laborer's tired face, and Dorothy wondered •quickly if she had been guilty of any h i g h crime in suggesting the matter •to him. Then the man spoke. "Thank you, miss," he said. "I'll be glad to pose for you. Mr. Van Dyke isn't any friend of mine, even if I do work for him, and he wouldn't dare say anything if he found it out Where'U I •stand?" "Right there by the fence," said Dorothy, breathing easier now that • ' / "It is pretty," she said, -she saw the man was inclined to be respectful and glad of the opportunity . t h e found for a •'figure" study. "I'll be ready in a moment. Just lean against the fence and turn your head t h e other way. Yes, hold the rake tha -way you have it now. Don't look at •nw, but just think of what you have >to d o on the place to-morrow. There!" And her small fingers began to fly over -the block of water color paper as she nkntcntd-Jm with a hard pencil, the -rough outline of the well knit figure bafore bar. "If I can only get htm as the really If." afae said to herself. "It After lunch* L W a p s t one arm about Dorothy as they walked through the little orchard. "I wish yeu would' let me ask Mr. Van Dyke to call, Dotly, dear," aha said. "Ha la really very nlee, and as his laborer says he 4 o e * net mean to amy unpleasant things. Yon know I used to know htm quite well. May Z not?" "Perhaps, some day," answered Dor* othy, "but you must never tell him about my model. I want him to discover that next spring." Lida smiled slightly. Then ahe stopped and, turning Dorothy about till she faced her, she said: "I think he knows about that now, Dolly. He's pretty clever even if he does do eccentric things—like wearing old clothes and working about his estate, Just for the love of manual labor." Dorothy gave a little gasp. "What do you mean?" she cried, turning red and white by turns, while her blue eyes grew big with frightened surprise. "Nothing, except that for the past month or so you have been industriously painting pictures of a gentle rustic named Robert Van Dyke," said Lida, laughing softly at her friend's expression. "Poor little painter! Isn't it awful?" • • • The most treasured valuable in a large collection belonging to Robert Van Dyke, Esq., to-day is a watercolor portrait of himself in corduroys —painted by his wife. "Just lean against the fence." one of her pictures at the Spring Exhibit and said, in the hearing of Lida herself, that he had a notion to find the girl who had painted it, and fall in love with her? And, adding insult to injury, he had expressed' himself as believing that he would marry her, too! His impudence had made Dorothy stamp one small foot with anger and resolve to make him sorry for what he had said, some day. "I'll paint him carefully and exhibit the picture next spring," she thought, "background of meadow, and all. Then the self-satisfied Mr. Van Dyke will see that I prefer to use men—even his own workmen—as subjects for art, not as lovers." At the end of a silent half hour— for Dorothy was eminently businesslike when she chose to be-*-she said, "That will do. I hope you are not tired. And here is the money." As she handed it to him, the laborer turned his head quickly away for a moment, and she thought he was going to burst into tears, his shoulders shook so. But she did not say anything more, although she resolved to have him pose again for her. "I have no doubt that little money came as a God-send to him and his little family," she wrote that night. "He told me himself, just before he went to work again, that Mr. Van Dyke was the worst enemy he had. Strange, isn't it, how men of wealth do oppress those under them?" But though several sittings followed this, and Dorothy, in the goodness of her sympathetic little heart, endeavored to secure the poor fellow's confidence with a view to helping him further, he always avoided telling her much about himself. When Lida McCane ran down to spend a week with Dorothy, who was stopping with -n aunt in the tiny country town, she found Dorothy's interest in her model still on the increase. "He is a really lovely model, Lida," she said, "and wears such picturesque corduroys. He doesn't talk much, but he looks at me, in such a strange way at times that I wonder if he isn't going to tell me the story of his life! I hope not, for I don't like such elaborate narratives. Yesterday he did say that Mr. Van Dyke is not as bad as some people think, though he often says things that he does not mean. I want you to come with me tomorrow and tell me what you think of him—the model. He certainly has not always been a laborer, for he shows evidences of gentle blood and good breeding every day." "What a paragon you have fouhd," laughed Lida as she kissed Dorothy again. "I really think I will have to warn Mr. Van Dyke that you are thinking of kidnapping his star laborer, or, at least, trying to make him dissatisfied with his work." "Oh, but I am not," said Dorothy. "And, besides, he seems to work only when he pleases. Did I tell you that he has asked me for a picture ot himself— to give to his wife for Christmas, I suppose. He hinted as much." The following day Lida accompanied Dorothy to the meadow which adjoined that of the Van * Dykes, and qot long after they had settled themselvea the model appeared. As he took off his cap to acknowledge the presence of the newcomer and the introduction, Miss McCane bit her lip sharply; Then she discovered she had left her best brushes at t h e house and insisted on going after them herself. She did not return. - - LIVING EXPENSES IN LONDON. What the Diner Has io T*j In All Restaurant*. An American who, in the classical language of his country, is at present "located" in London wants to know whether any city in the world is quite so niggardly as our own. He has been going the round of the London restaurants, and has encountered in the management of them a spirit which distresses him. "There is, to begin with," he says, "a charge of from 2d to 6d for guarding your hat. and coat in the cloakroom, and a tip in addition is expected. You want to wash your hands— another 2d or anotiher 6d, and another tip. You take up the menu, and behold! there is an intimation that a charge of 3d each person will be made under the guise of 'table money.' This charge varies according to the nature of the place—3d is the lowest, 6d perhaps the average; at a great many restaurants it is Is, and in at least two that I have visited, Is Id. The only difference is that in the lower-priced restaurants it is called 'table money,' and in the higher-priced ones placed under the captivating heading of couvert. To my mind an entrance fee, frankly demanded at the door, would be much less offensive than to find yourself asked at the end of a dinner to pay for the trouble and expense of cleaning up the cutlery you have used." His conclusion of the whole matter is that "London lives by imposing a fixed tariff on the accessories that in every other city I have ever been to are thrown in gratis," and he thinks, that being a gentleman is one of the most expensive professions an Englishman can have. He declares it to be an utter delusion that London is a cheap place to live in.—London Chronicle. Two CrMlclams on Sermon*. The Rev. Dr. W. S. Rainsford, rector of S t George's church, New York, derives much enjoyment from the criticisms ot his sermons which he hears from time to time. He has an artful way of calling forth these expressions, and enjoys telling of some very frank replies he has received. He recently asked a young parishioner, who is an attentive listener: "Well, Dorothy, how did you like my Advent sermon?" "It was very peculiar, doctor," replied the precocious 11-year-old. "You read so many texts from the Bible." The doctor missed from the services a stern-faced but kindly old woman of New England stock, and sought her out. "I have not seen you at church lately," he said. "The fact is, doctor, I have been going to St. . 's." "Don't you like St. George's?" the clergyman asked. "Yes," was the hesitating reply, "but there Is not enough hellflre in your sermons. You are too easy on sinners." Egypt's Veiled Women. The tasmak or veil may be black o\ white, long or short, plain or embellished with rows of drawn work ox tucks, and of any sort of fine, soft material. The women of the middle and lower classes wear for the roost part black veils from one to three feel long; those higher In the social gradt wear white ones, and occasionally they reach to the hem of the dress. These aro held in place by a metal tube that Is fastened over the nose and lower part of the forehead by cords securely tied behind. When worn with this habara, in the orthodox fashion, there is nothing visible but the woman's bright, black eyes, which see everything going on.

The- recent robbery of Paul Gilbert The baud by his valet revealed, that Mr. Tbebaud was one who cultivated this hobby. One of the largest collections of the kind was left some years ago by "Jimraie" Wood, an, eccentric bachelor, well known in New York sooiety, who lived at the old New York hojtel. Mr. Wood left nearly *Q0 pins, which were distributed to various friends. He was a bachelor and a native of Baltimore. His hair and -whiskers were fiery red, and for a long time he dyed them, making them almost supernatural and Mephistophelean in their effect. Suddenly he gave up the deception, and afterward appeared* with snow-white hair and side appendages. He was always in love with the last society beauty, but he would never propose, and he took deepest umbrage If any of them married. To one daughter of a socially prominent family, a famous beauty still, he had left a large sum in his will. On her marriage, however, he managed to change the amount of zeroes and the punctuation point so that her dowry from him fell from thousands to hundreds—not being inclined to further express his dissatisfaction in a legal codicil. William Cutting and Center Hitchcock have collections of the pins almost as extensive as is that of Mr. Thebaud. Many of these were given them at weddings at which they were ushers. POPE AND UNITED ITALY. Catholic Question Block* the Way of a £tK«M«fat Government. Both yoang and old, the holy father said at Christmas, were wanted in the Christian movement for the upraising of the people, and young and old must work hand in hand! These frequent exhortations of the pope to union among Catholics suggests the existence of causes of dissension, says the Tablet. There arc Catholics of the old school, fond of a quiet life, who refuse to take note of the changed conditions of the tiraeii; on the other hand, there are ardent young spirits who forget that there has been a past at all, and who seek to impress their own ideas whole and entire, ai in a new creation, on the Italy of today. To these especially the holy father addresses a former instruction on the social movement, in which he urges that It must be in continuity with the past, must draw its inspiration from religion, and its direction from the pastors of the church. There have been some few who were ready to leave the Roman question and the rights of the holy see In the background in their eagerness to prove the democratic character of the Catholic movement. The Roman question does undoubtedly block the way of the Italian government, whose path will never be smooth until it has solved It to the satisfaction of the pope. Idloayncrseles of Authors. Those who suppose that the work of authorship is easy may be Interested to learn some of the expedients resorted to by distinguished men of letters. With strong and vigorous men like Victor Hugo and Catulle Mendes a walk ia sufficient to stimulate ideas; the weak, on the contrary, like Descartes and Leibnitz, find their inspiration lying down. Cujas usually wrote lying on his stomach. Rossini and Ambroisc Thomas were inspired only when in bed. Chateaubriand used to dictate to his secretary while walking barefooted up and down his chamber. Bossouet wrapped his head in warm linen, Balzac wore a monk's cowl and Gautier a red dressing gawn. It Is said that without his scarlet jacket M. Francois Coppee could not write. Lord Derby when writing filled his mouth with cherry brandy, Fenimore Cooper sucked gum and Pierre Loti has recourse to perfumes. Cot or of Scots* Hair. Curious investigation reported to the British Association traces the origin of complexion by the surnames. It was based according tor a contemporary, on an examination of 14,561 school children of East Aberdeenshire, and a calculation of the pigmentation of the hair and eyes for 59 most frequent surnames. The darkest hair and eyes belong to surnames common in fishing communities, verifying the tradition that the fishing population of east Scotland is of Belgian origin. The pigmentation of Highland surnames corresponds closest with that of their districts of origin. The surnames of Wallace, Pirie; Grant, Park, and Birnie have strong blond tendencies, those of Cordiner, Cruikshank, Stephen. Strae- Jflftn. Buchan. Paterson and Whyte are darkest; and Rennie, Scott, Grant and Thompson show most red hair. Mrs, Flynn—"An* phwat's yer son Molke doln' now. Mrs. Casey?"• Mrs. Casey—"Shure.

The German emperor is always ill when facing a gale at sea. The empress is a much better sailor In this respect. When the two of them went to the holy land the impress was the only person of the- Imperial clssle on board who was not prostrated by seasickness during the trip down the Adriatic. Prince Henry of Prussia likewise confesses to seasickness each time on going to sea after being in port for a while. The duke of Cornwall is afflicted in the same way, and the duchess is such a martyr to seasickness that she hesitated for a long time before consenting to undertake the tour just concluded. She suffered Intensely during the trip from Portsmouth t o Gibraltar, the weather in the Bay of Biscay being very stormy.

With great earnestness he declared that if the president of the United States had properly characterized Aguinaldo nntl his associates as bloodthirsty Apaches then Admiral D e w e y and those who secured Agninaldo's help and assistance could not escape the charge of deliberately violating the laws of civilized warfare, and he hoped the charge against Admiral Dewey would be investigated. "From the beginning,", said Mr. Carmack* "we knew that Aguinaldo w a s fighting not for a change of masters, but for absolute freedom," and he said, Gen. Anderson had assured Aguinaldo that the American people never have established colonies, and he could trust in the honor of the American people. "These facts," he said, "constitute a binding obligation upon us to give them their Independence."

Another bill by Mr. Wilcox fixes the salary of tlk* governor of Hawaii at $8,000.

Nothing gives relief to a sprain more quickly than cold salt water. Here are a few other uses for salt: Mixed in equal proportions with soda, salt makes an admirable dentifrice. In cases of dysentery, salt taken in vinegar and warm water gives great relief. In croup, salt is a reliable and harmless remedy; the dose is a teaspoonful, mixed with a tablespoonful of honey, given freely; and a bag of hot salt is very soothing in neuralgia, toothache, earache aud similar affections. L Brain-Food Nonsense. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled Hie silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a partic ular p'irt of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Greene's August Flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy action, purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. Yon can get Dr. 0 . G. Greene's reliable remedies at F. A.

Rule, we may confidentally look for the "Golden Rule of Man," in 1 the not far distant future. j Let us thank God and take ! courage at all these indications, which look toward the universal brotherhood of man.

'That's w b a t all of 'em says," said bis friend, Nicholas Peckley, who rejoiced to the glaring fact that he was au old bachelor past all redemption. "It's quite surprising what a number of most charming girls there are. Well, Baltic, I wish you joy, I'm sure." Mr. Baltic rubbed his hands compla- -oently, - "You see," said he, "she Is a rose, as one may say, In the full bloorm is my Myrtilla, just twenty-seven." "She looks all of that," said his friend dubiously. "Envious dog!" thought Baltic to himself as he trotted briskly down the street. And thus meditating Mr. Brutus Baltic turned his steps to the casket that contained his heart's jewel—in other words, the house where Miss Myrtilla Hopkiuson lived. The front door was open, a n d Mr. Baltic walked complacently In, with the air of a man who feels himself thoroughly and entirely a t home, and tiptoed up the stairs. "Dear girl. I'll give her a surprise!" said Mr. Baltic to himself.

Miss Hopkiuson looked around with a little shriek. "My goodness gracious!" cried Myrtilla, jumping up. "I have caught you!" cried Mr. Baltic, playfully making a grasp at the note. But Miss Hopkinson evaded his movement and thrust the note under a pile of newspapers. But as she did so Mr. Baltic perceived, to his inexpressible surprise and dismay, that the billet, although in an unmistakably masculine hand, was none of his penning. "Myrtilla!" he exclaimed reproachfully. "Oh. Brutus, dear, how you startled my poor nerves!" cooed Myrtilla, tripping forward with outstretched hands. Before Mr. Baltic; could select appropriate words in which to demand an explanation from ids 'sweetheart the tete-a-tete was unfortunately interrupted by the entrance of Myrtilia's married sister. But as they parted ou the staircase Mr. Baltic said: "Myrtilla. when I came this afternoon"— "Yes, dear," purred the fair enslaver. —"you were reading a letter—a letter from a gentleman." Miss Hopkinson colored. "Brutus, you surely don't doubt me!" "Will you let me see the letter?" "No." Mr. Baltic banged out of the house. Miss Hopkinson dissolved Into tears. "Oh. dear! Oh. dear! Oh, dear!" she bewailed herself. " W h a t shall I doV" Mr. Baltic went home in a towering passion of jealous rage and penned a note which would have done no discredit to any tragedy hero ill the land: Fal.-;e one, 1 Rive yon twenty-four hours for an explanatory If at t!:e expiration of that period you still per>i>t in r. fusing; to show me yuuv ralstug big tearful' betrothed*. «T>f nae whisper you a secret—mine are false too."

The questiou was once put to General Wheeler: "General, what was the most foolhardy thing you ever saw on the field of battle?" ! "I didn't see it on the field of battle," replied General Wheeler. "I saw it one day when a young woman tried to enter a revolving door leading a dog by a very long string. She passed through In safety, but not so the dog. The rushing public came along, aud the dog ! was ground both ways and chopped up as though he were in a sausage machine. Each time he escaped his mistress tugged madly on the string and pulled him into it again. She got him through at last, being a very deter- I mined girl.

"The messes whose turn it is to have vegetables indulge in a 'pot mess,' ai It is styled, perhaps not inappropriately. The messes in their turn receive the shins, scrag ends, neck pteeee and other odds and ends of the meat ration —some sailors aver that every animal has a t least six shins—and this miscellaneous assortment of remnants la thrown into a pot with as many vegetables as can be got.

It is thought by some specialists to be closely allied to epilepsy. But as the attacks resemble healthy sleep— the muscles are relaxed, the heart and respiration are slowed down, the patient on awakeniug is refreshed as after an ordinary nap, and there Is none of the lassitude and sense of exhaustion which follows the epileptic fitit is certainly very different in origin from the latter.

After deliberating for three hours Thursday afternoon the jury fh the case of Bert Farrlngton of Milan, charged with the murder of his wife's paramour, Jesse Hooker of Adrian, brought in a verdict declaring the prisoner guilty of manslaughter.

Kr. John Maloney. of St. Mary's church, called on Latimer Saturday at the hospital. The priest is one of the few people in Jackson' who never believed Latimer killed his another.

"Bert will go to Milan wrth liuv' said Ed;Harrington, "andv of course we are all sanguine that Judge Chester will be lenient In his sentence." The European nations now striving to prove how much they love us would probably be less demonstrative if they knew how determined we are to remain single. If the reports of Prince Henry's good eense are trustworthy the American who attempts to "fawn at the feet of royalty" invites the discouragement of a royal kick in the jaw. A H e r m i t ' * D e a t h . Henry Malone. known as the hermit of the prairie, died at an early hour -Saturday morn4ttg-rtt the Lewis, hospital in Bay City of .pneumonia, after an illness of a week, and thereby ended a unique life. Malone lived in a lean-to sluinty. isolated from the rest of the world, on a forsaken prairie tliat runs aiougsid^ the Saginaw river for many miles, The hermit's scanty is not more than six feet wide by nine or ten feet long. In summer the front and only door is not supposed to close. To enter, one must lirst surmount a pile of ehiiw and shavings and then drop a foot as the threshold is crossed. There is no window to admit light sudicient to afford a good view of the interior. A hole over the door, that is luvarded in winter, admits liglit and air in the wttr.n months of the year. He was one of Lieut.-Col. Pritchard's command of tin? Fourth Michigan Cavalry during the civil war. Seven years ago Malono's brother. John, n ru«h farmer, after consicka- ahle persuasion, succeeded in getting him to his home in Taymouth, but the "old hermit couldn't stay there, preferring Ms shack on the'prairie. He roe jived a pension of $12 a month and had lived alone for twenty vears. As a result of the earthquake at the City of Mexico, Gov. Mora and his family have no home and are now living in a stable. Well, the Savior of mankind was born in one. Anarchists say that Prince Henry never did a useful day's work and that they will ignore him when he visits this country. But do the anarchists want to monopolize the loafing? No sooner does the Kaiser prove that he is friendly to the L'nited States than he is called upon to demonstrate his affection for England. Some of the Kaiser's orators keep him busy. With the Danish West Indies ours. the territory controlled by the Unite;! States will come within 100 miles of reaching half around the globe. Even Benjamin Franklin didn't foresee that. Mr. Marconi's engagement was broken off because he failed to keep up his correspondence.

CHAPTER lX.~«toati»a«4<> As the musicians struck the first low wailing notes a shout ot universal applause greeted the fair dancer. Slow* fr the mandoiina Bounded the meaaures of the dance, and with tranquil, almost hesitating steps, the young girl Interpreted the rhythm and time with her tiny feet Gradually the chords quickened and became livelier, and the slow-moving Circe merged into a radiant Terpsichore. Her eyes, hitherto bent timidly upon the floor, were now proudly raised and swept the crowd with half coquettish, half inquiring glances. They seemed to say: "Are there none brave enough to risk being my partner?" One of the yotmg-iettows thus interpreting the look, and perhaps eager to show his courage, quickly advanced to the estrada, and, uncovering, presented his gay sombrero with its garniture of silver and lace for the acceptance of the bewitching dancer. Receiving it with a smile, without pausing—for an instant in the evolutions in which she was engaged, she placed it coquettishly upon her head. A prolonged viva g * e t t ^ i n U 4 i c t ^ l i i l e _ t t o ^ i e ^ lant, who had thus been conceded the floor, placed himself opposite to her and joined in the dance. It continued for a time, when, at the cry of "Chammara!" by the spectators, the young gallant, bowing gracefully to the girl, retired to give place to the second aspirant. Placing himself opposite Circe, the new partner went through the same series of evolutions as his predecessor, ending by unwinding the crimson China crape sash from his waist, which he fashioned into a rosette and hung from one of the bare shoulders of the girl. This act .constituted a challenge to all comers, "while by permitting it to remain the girl signified her acceptance of him-until such time as another Bhould present a better cairn. It could only be answered in one way—by the knife. From the-crowd arose the cry of "Machete! machete!" and in prompt response the rival lover sprang into the estrade, and, with a graceful bow, presented himself to the girl. A slight nod told him that he, too, was welcome to the honor of bestowing his favors; and, drawing his long, glittering cuchillo from its sheath, he suspended it by its bow of purple ribbons from the right shoulder of the girl, already carrying the sash of his rival upon her left. A new pas de deux now began, carried on as before, though with many extemporized variations. Every now and then a chorus of vivas and Lravos greeted the execution of some more than usually difficult step, or suggestive figure. Suddenly a strident voice in the crowd shouted "Bombs!" and the dance was at an end. The women, now that the dancing was over, took themselves out of harm's way. The two factions, occupying opposite sides of the estrada, clamored for the fight. Dona Juanita, proud and radiant, stood in the center of the estrada awaiting the final ceremony with a tranquillity which went far to prove her indifference to the claim of either aspirant. But the pledges were still to be redeemed, and, with a practical eye to the business features of the play, she waited with extended hand. The usual fee of each pledge is a silver half real, but the two gallants, advancing one after another, filled both her hands with silver coins, amid the murmurs of applause which such prodigality excited. The estrada was now cleared for the fight, which nothing could now avert. The sylvan temple* so lately the scene of gayety and pleasure, was converted into a gladiatorial arena. Into Its midst one of the gallants advanced, and, first tracing a rude circle in the hard-beat sand of the floor, planted his knife in its center. The second promptly followed and placed his long blade close beside that of his rival, while both courteously uncovered.- A polite altercation then ensued as to who should first place his hat upon hia ' head, each claiming an honor which, granted by either, would make him the superior in point of courtesy. The difficulty was, however, decided by both contestants covering at the earn* time. The spectators were then relegated to the outside of the estrada, the combatants placed face to face, and the signal given. The combatants stood each with his long blade grasped in his right hand, and with his left hand and arm wrapped in the folds of his manga by way of shield. At the word the combat began. The Gautaricans know nothing of scientific fencing, and rely wholly upon strength an" agility of body. The blows were furiously given, but were far from dexterous. On both sides it was only a scries of qulc* thrusts and clumsy parries, of sudden lunges and hasty retreatB. Their long knives struck one another with a metallic clang, or cut the air with a mournful sough. But tbe"re wOt a ferocity and determination about the" men which resulted in much bloodshed and mutual hacking of flesh. They swayed to and fro upon the floor, the tumultuous crowd closing abo"ut them as they were successively displaced. Thus it continued for ten minutes, when, wounded and bleeding, both men came to the floor, and were carried off by their more intimate followers. It was when the barbarous duel In the public square had been brought to a termination that Overton, indulging in a little bitter reflection regarding the evil that befalls man through his natural love for woman, felt a linnu plucking his sleeve, and knew from the whiff of villainous tobacco smoke that his new Jonathan, the general, stood at his elbow, his face wreathed in smiles and hla_i^rtJ^Xl!amjB_^wejiing with the importance of the communication he bore. C H A P T E R X. The Maker of Presidents. As soon as his eyes fell upon the smiling countenance of General Barrajo, Jack knew the latter carried a message—he seemed so pleased with himself, so desirous of doing some favor to the brave Senor Overton, who had saved his precious life, and made him overwhelmingly his debtor. When, however, the verbal communication was delivered Jack's face took on a frown and he bit his lip. For the stout general bore a message that Dona Juanita desired to meet the American at once; and he also gave Jack to understand that this summons was to be considered a great honor, about which, however, that worthy had his doubts. He concluded to meet Dona Juanita. He found the senorita not far away, arid—her-manner of receiving him was peculiarly coy for one who had shown herself so bold when the rival young gallants were vleing with each other for the privilege of her smiles. Jack, had _£e known these hot-blooded creatures of Gautarica better, would have taken warning from this very fact and studiously avoided the senorita, for it was quite patent to the astute general she had conceived a sudden and overpowering admiration for the American that was very apt to blossom presently into a passion. Jack carried on a spirited conversation with the belle of San Jose, and could not but note the deep satislaction shown by the general. In the goodness of his heart, no doubt he wanted the man who had saved his life to have all the prizes there were in the lottery, and the senorita, in his mind, came within that category. So he worked the strings. Had Jack suspected hi3 philanthrope ical design, he might have deeply regretted running those three revolutionists off when they had the general cornered. As it was, having in mind a sketch of some mythical godde33, which trie senorita as he had seen her dancing t>o alluringly before her many -HdmtTeis would fill to perfection, ho studied her while thus engaging hoi* in conversation. Doubtless he forgot that in thus exerting himself, with the purpose IU view of drawing her out, he at th« same time accomplished a double 00- ject, and appeared unusually attractive in her eye3. That was where the boomerang caniv in. It chanced that after this night they met frequently—not so much througn his inclination. as an apparent combination of circumstances. The lovely daughter of the tropics had taken a- great fancy for Senor Overton, and his indifference piqued her, since she' wa3 so accustomed to having gallants go mad for an iota ot the favor she bestowed upon Jack. Sometimes It appears as great a crime to be diffident as to show egotism—it may not push one into hot water a* often, but there are occasions when it counts as much. And the wily general looked on. anu behind Jack'3 back rubbed hi3 hands, very much as a miser might over his gold. It was his purpose to devote his lite to showering blessing3 on his noble deliverer—love, power, wealth, ail should be hi3. and he would bless the day when he first met Pedro Alphonso Barrajo—indeed, It would be a red-letter day in the affairs of the little republic as well. Overton had never taken the genetal into his confidence, to tell him the bitter story of hit past and how he had bccoin? a full-fledged wqman hater, pledged to. remain forever a bachelor. He hail found a means ot engaging in bualnasir Such energy as he, I N * tested was a new element in San Juan, and from the way In which he started it wat evident that In due course of time, say. ten years, if nothing happened to overturn matters—somethmg is always occurring in these torrid Utile republics—he bade fair to own tne whole community, which shows what push and enterprise may accomplish when properly applied. Ten years was a long time to w a i t - he had calculated on half that period when he could go back to London and pay up old scores. And then it occurred to Jack to partially take his friend the general into bis confidence, and tell him how necessary it was that he. should roll the ball of fortune faster, in order that the result should be hastened. Brave Barrajo had met danger when it appeared about to overwhelm him with a steady front and a flashing blade. He was equal to the occasion now. Slapping Jack most heartily on the back, he winked his left eye mysteriously, and, looking cautiously around to see that they were alone, whispered hoarsely: "Carramba! Make your mlhlTeasj, senor—it is all arranged—the train is laid and at the proper time tho match will be applied—then comes the explosion, and, pouf! there you are in a jump! One thing tell me, Senor Jack, how long you have been In San Jose— on Gautarican soil?" ~ Jack figured it out. "Just six months to-morrow—how time has flown, and I have only made a start," he said slowly. The general rubbed his hands together in almost delirious joy. "Six months—it is quite enough. You shall be made a citizen to-morrow." "Is it positively necessary?" dubiously. "Undoubtedly so," came the prompt reply. "Then I submit—any sacrifice so that I may attain the end to which I aspire." "Madre do Dios! You will not call it a sacrifice, Senor Jack, when you learn what a feast of good things Is being prepared for you. Never was a man more favored by fortune, I swear." Jack smiled and shook his head. "Ah! you speak in enigmas, general." •. . ttJssV Warns* I*di*Mai* .- • PresGc&nt tfoosWfeft has received the petition from a • thousand indignant women protesting against method* employed by the pffirlals of the Xew York custom house in the matter of luggage inspection, These women say they travel for pleasure and not for business, and on returning from abroad are subjected to a system that amounts to Insult ami (persecution. Their oath aa to the value of their goods, they say, avails nothing. Notwithstanding what they swear to the inspectors turn their trunks inside out. The women even charge that old clothing is frequently assessed for duty. The system In vogue at the New York dock, they declare, leads to falsehoods that are told in self-defense. Admiral tanpMra Dyi»sr. Rear Admiral Sampson was unconscious Thursday night, and physicians fear that his condition to dangerous. If he is living on Sunday, the 9th inst, his more thou two score years of active service in the United States navy will have closed and he will go upon the retired list. He is entirely unconscious of what is going on in the world, nnd never will know whether the appeal to the president honors or blames him. Within the last few days he has suffered relapses, but it is not known that he is n*ar death. The disease is, making steady progress and his death is only a question of a short time. "Soon^soon all will be made plain. Wait, have patience; your loftiest dream of pomp and power could not attain to what awaits the friend and preserver of Pedro Barrajo. I do not forget—I can never forget!" with a gesture of vehemence. "Well, I place myself in your hands, my general," Overton felt compelled to say, having concluded to go the whole thing, once started. "Aha! you are wise—you will bless me to your dying day. Love, power, fortune, all shall be yours. The vow is recorded. One thing I must beg of you, Senor Jack. It is this. If, some night, after tomorrow, you should hear a commotion in San Jose, shots fired and loud cheers from the army, pray do not show yourself upon the street until I call upon you." "Ah! prospects of another revolution, I suppose?" "Hush! Not so loud, please. Roblado's spies may be about—they suspect something is in the wind. No, it is not Montejo this time—he is a dead herring in Gautarican politics now. Ask no more questions, only wait and see; great events are on the eve of transpiring. You promise—good! Go your way, my dear friend, and prepare for a grand surprise. Silence!" and with his finger on his lips the remarkable general bowed, and mounting his horse galloped toward' the barracks, I leaving Overton a badly puzzled man. j After that mysterious warning, from Barrajo, Jack was exceedingly careful how he strayed from his domicile after old Helios dipped his glowing face in the western sea and the black pall of night descended upon gay San Jose. For he placed great confidence in the general, and that worthy's directions had been so very direct and explicit they could not be mistaken. His reward came. It was the fourth night after the flower procession, and San Jose had in a measure calmed down—that is, resumed the normal condition that marked the passing of early evening. The gay crowds still lingered in the plaza near by. as though having some inkling of the tremendous epoch in Gautarica's history that was on the eve of occurring. Overton wondered how it came that the sounds of merriment had long since died away, while the throng still remained abroad. He had not known to strange a thing to happen before, and he had been half a year in San Jose. too. He had just completed his task of writing, and, utterly fagged out. filled his pipe for a comfortable smoke before retiring, when the sound cf a sudden shot electrified him. (To be continued.)

So writes our esteemed friend Mr. Frank Chambers of 9 Bennett street. Chiswiek: "For over two years I suffered agonies from indigestion and became reduced to a mere shadow of my stalwart self. I would return home from my business feeling so faint that I could hardly drag one leg after the other. My dear wife did all she possibly could to tempt me with dainty dishes, and as I entered the house I sniffed and thought: 'Oh, how good; I know I can eat that!' But alas! no sooner had I eaten a few mouthful*, when I felt sick; severe pains shot through my cheat and shoulder blades, my eyes swam and everything seemed black, I became alternately hot and cold, and got up from such a dainty dinner heartily sick of living, and feeling I was a sore trial to everybody. I may mention that I was also very much troubled with scaly skin, and often boils. But one evening I noticed my wife seemed more cheerful than usual. I questioned her and found she had been reading a pamphlet she had received of men afflicted just as I was, and who had been cured by JVogeler'a Compound. Said she, 'What gives me more faith in It is that it is made from the formula of an eminent physician now in active practice in the West End of London, BO I am sure it is no quack thing/ 'All right, dear, let's have a bottle/ Raid I. After taking the con^ tents of the first bottle, I felt very much better, and determined to give this remedy a fair trial, and I can positively assure you that a few bottles made a new man of me. I can slesp well, eat anything, and thoroughly enjjy life. I have told several of my friends whom I knew were suffering the same as myself, and they all wish me to say that they are like new men. I sincerely bless the great physician who gave you the formula of Vogeler's Curative Compound, and also yourselves for making its virtues known to a suffering public."

A great number of delegates have been influenced through the agency of Mr. J. S. Crawford, the Canadian government representative at Kansas City, to visit western Canada, and whether from Missouri or Kansas the story is always the same—they are pleased with the new country being opened up. Isaac H. Levagood writes from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows: "I met three delegates from Kansas yesterday at Didsbury, and took them home with me and took them out in the afternoon and showed them some of the finest land that lays on top of God's green earth. They are more than pleased with this country. They stayed with me last night; this morning I took them to Didsbury, and they went on north. When they come hack they are coming to my place and I am going to help them to run some lines and they are going to locate in sight of my house. There have been over 1,200 ncres of land changed hands here in our neighborhood this spring. When 1 located here last fall I was the furthest back of any of the settlers ; to-day I am In the center of the settlement We have thirty-six children that are of school age in our district, and we will have our school district organized next month, when we will proceed to build our schoolbouse. The longer we stay here the better we like the country; that is the way with everybody here, they all seem to be satisfied and doing well. I have talked with a great many men here and they told me that they had les3 than $50 when they got here, and today they have got 160 acres of good land and five or six hundred dollars' worth of stock. Crops are looking fine b'«re. I think this will be a good winter wheat country. One of my neighbors has a small piece and it looks fine." NeJr—Mr. Stillicns is only an apology for a man.

Fifth, Is i womans intellect capable of grasping the questions of the day? Mrs. R. R. Smith answered emphatically, yes. Six, is it advisable for the farmers of the county to own and equip a rural telephone? Frank Backus answered in favor of the county phone as ha had had several years exp erience. E. C. Reed said he had arranged for a gentleman to attend the meeting on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21 and 22, who would explain the matter at that time. Z. A. Hartsuff had used them and found them great labor savers. Mr. Cook explained a local phone in his county that cost them $12.00 per year that was very effectual. R. R. Smith explained the co-operative spstem of telephone. The question box was followed by music by the Oak Grove male quartette. Seth Rupert gave a talk on sugar beet raising. Said he was a farmer with the rest of them, and interested in anything or any crop that would be of benefit to the farmers of this state, but thought they should be very careful about going into sugar beet raising until they had investigated the cost of growing, harvesting and getting the crop to market. Where beet sugar factories are established the wages are from $1.25 to $1.50 per day, and one must figure on that to make It pay. Thinks Primary Election Laws."

In his talk, Mr. Taziman extended it to the change of of the constitution, and explained the workings of the senate and legislature. His talk was excellent, and opened up a wide range of discussion which was followed by music by G. B. Hogley.

Afternoon session— Board reconvened; minutes of yesterday's session read and approved. On motion of Mr Avery Beard adjourned until after the meeting of the ex-supervisors to be held •in the court room this afternoon. Board reconvened and audited* number of bills in contagious disease cases and then adjourned until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. (Approved, B JWheridan, Chairman. Friday, January 10th, 1901. Board met, roll called, quorum present. Minutes of Thursday's, session read and approved The Clerk laid before the Board two petitions for local option. Mr Wood moved that the petitions from Hartland and Mrighton for submitting local option to a vote of the people of Livingston county be received, and inasmuch as if every voter in the two townships aforesaid had signed the petitions it would not be one-third of the voters of the entire county as required by law, no further action be taken; carried. E C Shields, Prosecuting Attorney, presented the following opiniori, which on motion was ordered spread on the record, the same being as follows: To the Hon Board of Supervisors of Livingston Co; There has been submitted to me by your honor able Board a question for investigation and opinion relating to tbe salary of the Judge of Probate for this county. In reply I will say that the salary of the Judge of Probate of this county is provided for in sections 2551 and 2552 of the Compiled Laws of 1897. I understand that the last census quoted the population of this county to be under twenty thousand aud_not_ less than fifteen thousand. The provisos in section 2662 give the authority to the Hoard of Supervisors by a majority vote of all the members elect td give such additional salary to the ,1 udge of Probate of thei r respective counties as they deem justice. I am also informed that during the October session of this Board in 1900 a resolution was passed by the Board fixing the salary of the Judge of Probate for this county at eleven hundred dollars and two hundred additional was allowed as cL*rk hire If that is true it seems to me that the Board of Supervisors have acted directlv within the proviso of section 2552 of the Compiled Laws of VT. This amount has been paid to the person Incumbent of the office during the period he held the office; it was accepted by him and not questioned by the Board of Supervisors until he assumed the duties of his office and had received pav therefor, it would seem to me that the act of the Board in October, 1900. placed the Board directly within the provisos of the case of Chapman vs the County of Herrien. ">J Michigan, »11. in which, under almost similar conditions, the Court held that the first action of the board was binding. Tiider those conditions it would seem to be unsafe for the Hoard to deny_ its action and claim that, it wa* not bound in this connection. I call the Hoard's attention to section *W9of the Compiled Laws of 1897, which is as follows: "The people of the state of Michigan enact, that annual salaries of all salaried county officers, which are now or may be hereafter by lawfixed by the Board of Supervisors, shall be'fixed by said Board on or before the thirty-first day of October prior to the commencement of the term of such officers, and the sanre shall not be increased or diminished during the term for which such officers shall have been elected or appointed." While it is true that the Judge of Probate has been held to be more in the nature of a state officer than a county officer, yet the spirit of the law would seem to make it applicable to a Judge of Probate as well as to the other county officers. The clerk presented the following report for the J udge of Probate: „ ^m&KtmmSSttBti To the Hon Board of Supervisors of Livingston Co: Gentlemen:—I hereby submit my annual report as required by statute. On January 14, 1901. on petition and application of tbe Superintendents of the Poor Ada M^Bohnet. of Handy, a dependent, was, by order of this court, sent to the Coldwater school. On December 30tb on application of the Superintendents an order was made sending Bertha, Pearl and John Tackebury, of Howell, to the same school, but as yet the Superintendents have not taken them away. The following commitments have been made in cases of insanity and all, except the case of Lawrence £ Smith, who was confined temporarily In the Oak Grove hospital at Flint, Michigan, are charges against the county : February 87 M H Brigham, Cohoctah, Kalamaxoo; April 99th L E Smith, Hartlsnd, Oak Grove hospital, Flint; August 1st Albert Purdy, Howell, Pontiac; December 18th Charlie R Caaady, Oceola, Pontiac; November 8d Bather Williams, Handy, Pontiac; November 23d Gustsv Wendel, Cohoctah, Pontiac. Mr Brigham lived only a short time after being sent to Kalamazoo. Albert Purdy staid only a short time at Pontiac, at least I am so informed by his relatives who made the application. In the<ase of Charlie R Caaady an order was made that his mother should reimburse the county to the amount of forty dollars per annum, he having an interest in some land on which she lived. This would leave as charges against the county only the three rases of ^asady, Williams and Wendel for the- year's work.

The State Farmers Institute for this county will be held at the court house at the above place and date and the committee have spared no pains to make it one of the most interesting ever held. Among the topics discussed will be the sugar beet question from every standpoint, the township unit school system, what kind of au education does the farmer need and where, to get it? Advantages of a canning factory, the outlook for meat production in Michigan, the county telephone system, and other questions ot vital importance to farmers oil .Livingston county^ It is a well known fact that Livingston county's farmers institutes have come to be recognized as one of the leading educational factors in our county. We believe that some of the single addresses given by state speakers have been worth more to the farm ers of this county than the cost of ajl the institutes ever held in the county. Every farmer should make an effort to attend every session. The womans' section will be held at the M. E. church Saturday afternoon at1:30. Why not one for Pineknoy and Vicinity?

He will also answer the following questions asked last Sunday evening: Does the Roman Catholic Church consider Confirmation administered by a Priest valid? How can the Church justify herself in changing from leavened to unleavened bread in the seventh century for use in Holy Communion when the former alone had been used before? Why is Queen Elizabeth called the Virgin Queen? Why is Queen Mary called "Bloody Mary?" Why did Henry VIII. suppress the Monastaries? Did the Puritan fathers introduce religious, liberty in America? Who introduced religious liberty in America? Does the Church forbid the leading of the Bible? Why is the Catholic Church opposed to Divorce and all other churches tolerate it? Is not prejudice against the Catholic church dying out? [s not one church as good as another? Do not Catholic's give too much honor to the Blessed Virgin? Do not Catholic's believe that the Pope cannot~ stn^—What is meant—by the infallibility of the Pope? Can Children who die before they are baptized be saved ? For several years rural telephone lines have been operated in the farming community west of this place and connecting the farm homes with Chelsea, Stock bridge, Dansville, and other villages to the betterment of the business men. While in Dansville the past two weeks we saw those lines in active operation and could not help but notice the amount of business done over the lines. Farmers for several miles oat would order goods sent out by neighbors who had to go to town etc. They were somewhat slow in putting in phoneirbut where one has been in operation a few weeks no one would have them removed. Now the question is shall the citizens of Pinckney stand by and be outdone by sister villages? We have as good a farming community as anywhere in the state surrounding our borders and if we would hold their trade we must be progressive. It would cost something of course to get a rural line in the village, but once here there could be tound many subscribers for phones not only here but along the way. Let us bear what our readers think of the matter. Fine winter weather this. Mrs. Amos Winegar of Howell is the guest of her daughter Mrs. Geo. Green.

A farm of 100 acres in the township of Marion would like to sell ai soon as possible for distribution of estate. LEWIS LOTS, 111 Administrator. A Word of Warning. With so much contagious disease about, great care should be taken in disposal of slop water and other refuse matter. It should not be thrown out near the well from which the family supply of drinking water is obtained, nor should it be thrown in any place where it can possibly drain back towards the well. This a small matter to look after, but care exercised in this particular may be the saving of many lives. Spring will soon be here and with it will come warm weather. See to it that all rubbish and waste is cleaned up before it has time to decompose. LOCAL N E W S . Rev.

The sordid ransom give, and claim The dust of Washington! o e> t I • - e Early Selected for High Honors Although Col. Washington retired to a private station at Mount Vernon at - the close of the frontier warfare, he did not neglect his duties to the public. Still holding the office of adjutant-general of the militia, he circulated orders tor them to assemble at certain times -and places to be exerciaed and reviewed. So much were the inhabitants alarmed at the recent successes of the enemy, that their martial spirit received a new impulse, and volunteer companies began to be organised. 'Their ardor was stimulated from the pulpit and it was in a sermon to one "of these companies that the accomplished and eloquent Samuel Davies "pronounced the celebrated encomium in a single sentence, which has often been quoted as prophetic. After praising the zeal and courage which has .been shown by the Virginia troops, the preacher added: "As a remarkable instance of this, I may point out *o the public that heroic youth, Col. Washington, whom I cannot but hope Providence has hitherto preserved in BO signal a manner for some important service to his country." This was but the echo of the general voice, and it is a proof of the high estimation in -which the character of Washington -was at that time held by his countrymen, and of the hopes it had raised. P a t r i c k Henry's Worthy Tribute Mr. Wirt relates an anecdote of Washington which shows iu what estimation he was held by the members of the first Congress. Soon after Patrick Henry returned home, being asked ""whom he thought the greatest man 1n Congress," he replied, "If you speak of eloquence, Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina is by far the greatest orator; bat, if you speak of solid information .and sound judgment, Colonel Washlng- 'ton is unquestionably the greatest .man on that floor." Tnte opinion was verified by every act of his life. His iknowledge, on the subjects to which he gave his attention, was'most thorough and exact; and ill the world has agreed th3t no other man ha* given such proofs of the soundness of his judgment. whom he was married on the 6th of January, 1759. This lady was three months younger than himself, widow of John Parke Custis, and distinguished alike for her beauty, accomplishments and wealth. She was the daughter of John Dandridge. At the time of her second marriage she had two children, a son and a daughter, the former six years old, the latter four. Mr. Custis had left large landed estates in New Kent County, and forty-five thousands pounds sterling in money. One-third part of this property she held in her own right, the other twothlrdB being equally divided between her children. By this marriage an accession of more than one hundred thousand dollars was made to Col. Washington's fortune, which was already considerable in the estate at Mount Vernon, and other lands which he had selected during his surveying expeditions and obtained at different timee. To the management of his extensive private affairs his thoughts now turned. He also took upon himself the guardianship of Mrs. Washington's two children, and the care of their proper- JMrs. Washington's Noble Character In the course of the year following -the French arid Indian war.

This union was in every respect felicitous. It continued forty years. To her intimate acquaintances and to the nation, the character of Mrs. Washington was ever a theme of praise. Affable and courteous, exemplary in her deportment, remarkable for her deeds of charity and piety, unostentatious and without vanity, she ado«*ncd by her domestic virtues the rphere of private life, and filled with dignity every station in which she waa placed.

The late Sir John Stalner, one of England's most celebrated musicians and composers, was once staying in a small Swiss village, and the KnglLrh clergyman was on the outlook for a musician to assist at the service. Stainer was In the office of the hotel when the clergyman found him, and started the conversation with, "Do you play the harmonium?" "A little," was the reply of the exorganist of St. Paul's cathedral. "Will you then, be good enough to help us out of our difficulty on Sunday? We will read the Psalms, and the hymns shall be the simplest I can select," added the delighted parson. "I will do my best," said Stainer, with a smile. The service proceeded satisfactorily, but the congregation at the close listened to a brilliant recital. When the parson heard the name of his assistant he asked him to dinner. "Do you smoke?" he asked at the close. "I will do my best," responded Stainer, and the ensuing laughter was the prologue of an entertaining erehange of Oxford reminiscences.—Youth's Companies.

Delicately formed and gently reared, wnrocn will find, in all the seasons of their lives, a&maidsor wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions,when the system necd&a laxative—is— Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not eome from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condition of the system, use the true and gentle remedy- Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as ft guarantee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at B0 cents per bottle. v; UMMJ^YRVP(9 • • * > ' v 3 MeidtildaJs M u t i n y 'By Sara Lindsay CoUman COPYRIGHT, 1902, BY DAILY STORY PUBLISHING COMl*ANY Folly Fox, who six months before had gladly left the village's ever increasing sisterhood of spinsters to become the wife of the Reverend Mr. Fox and mother to the little a n d big Foxes, said to her husband, as Matilda, tall and, trim, swung down the village street a t a pace that comes from streiptnt v -"-• r "It's plum scan'lous—she's got on a short sUirt an' her hair down her back. It's her birthday an' she ain't don^e a lick o' wor^to-da^D Jes' left it ajlfor her mar a n ' Mary. Sed she'd been slavin' ten year, sence she come home from college, a n ' she intended havin' a day off. They done a bad thing for her when they sent her to college. She got quare notions an* has flouted every man in the village. I don't reckon she'll flout any more." Matilda, left-the village behind her and plunged into a near wood. She flung herself full length on the ground and lay there motionless. Life had brought her nothing of what she had dreamed. There was a flash of moving color aml-a ^urst of song in-the-silent wood; below, the river roared and tumbled in its eager seaward rush. June lay on the wide, wonderful mountains—June, with its glory of color, its abundant young life; and the June time which lives in the souls of unwed women was in Matilda. The June time! It revolted at life and death in a country village; it scorned the spinsters with their sharp tongues, their sagging shoulders and sagging hips, their dullhued lives of toil. Suddenly Matilda got to her feet and began heaping up the earth into a mound; she worked industriously and when she tossed back the heavy braid of hair that had slipped over her shoulder she laughed—a reckless laugh. "It's almost amusing," she said. "If I were in the secret I am sure I would agree with you." The voice was not far off that had spoken the words. Matilda turned with the air of an insulted princess. The short skirt, the braided hair accentuated the youthful look. "This," she said, haughtily, "is a private wood." "And I am on a fence." was the calm reply, "and beyond is the king's highway." Matilda gave the stranger a grave looking over but he stood unflinchingly. . "The ceremony was about completed," she spoke more graciously, "the song comes next," She threw back her head and sang in a clear, fresh voice, "How tedious and tasteless the hours." Afr the end of the first line she stopped and laughed. "You are putting away the dolls and playthings of life?" the man asked. "I found that the dolls were sawdust and put them away twenty-five year3 ago." This in a disdainful tone. "What an ancient you are," said the man. "Yes," humbly. The man got down from t h e fence and came over to Matilda. "What did you bury there?" he asked, indicating the mound. "My youth," she spoke defiantly. "Ye gods!" the man burst into laughter. Matilda came a little nearer. "You are a southerner and a gentle- "What did you bury there?" man," she said. "I know from your voice and your eyes. I'm celebrating. It's my birthday. At first I wept You should have seen the glances that followed me down the street. I know hew their tongues wagged when they saw my hair down my back; they all know tnat I am thirty." "Well," said the man, "what If you are! I've known women of thirty who were much nicer than whlte-mustlned, blue-ribboned, giggling girls." "Out there." with a comprehensive sweep of. her hand that took^in the world beyond the blue circle of mountains; "here," she pointed to the village church spire that cut t h e blue reach of sky, "a woman's life ends at thirty, if she's unwed. She is a personal grievance to every man and woman in the village, and as long as there's breath in her body they feel responsible for her and try to marry her off. It's bad enough when a new man comes into the community; it's shivery when a man's left a widowerToh, how I hate widowers!" She made a gesture of despair. "You might try suicide," the man suggested. "I've thought of it," said Matilda, darkly. BEAUTIFUL "We have had to-day." They looked at each other. The sun filtering through the tree3 flung coins of gold at their feet. "It's my birthday," the man spoke slowly. "We might celebrate together; we might have one last day of youth." A sudden wistfulness shone in Matilda's eyes, but she shook her head. "It would be the one delicious, isolated impropriety of your life." She looked at him doubtfully. "You've let the band go down the other street all your days?" "Yes," pensively. "You have done the things you hate and left undone the things you'd love to do." "How did you know?" she asked. He trampled the grave she had made —the grave that held her youth and pointed to the water below, where a boat rocked softly. "Come," he said. Matilda moved slowly from him in the direction of the church spire. "The music," murmured the man impressively, "is going down the other street." "Where are we going?" asked Matilda. She had stepped into the boat. "To a land of mutual discovery," he said gayly. "It leads through winding paths; perhaps it returns to the level; pprhaps it goes to the heights " Matilda's heart had leaped to her throat at the look he gave her. It was a strange proceeding for so aged a heart that had put aside all youthful follies. The boat moved slowly; the river swept away into the forest's depths. Their laughter was the spontaneous laughter of two who find content in each other's presence; their silence held no estrangement. A purple mist settled on the blue mountains that belted the distance; from some near hill, a milkmaid's call floated. The knowls above them were massed in bloom. A deep sweet happiness filled the woman's soul. It was but just that life out of its fullness should have given her this one last day of youth. The boat turned homeward. The sun, a ball of fire, was dropping behind a far mountain peak. It was dragging her off to a dream country from which she would wake in a shiver. Alas, that from dreams the dreamers awake. But the boat crept on—in the perfumed gloom the laurel crowned hills were white. It was still a dream. A school girl dream come true. A castle built on lonely evenings when the wind had shivered and the thoughts were long, long thoughts—a castle turned to gleaming marble. The boat touched the landing. For an instant the man felt the pressure of her light weight; then she stood beside him on the river bank. "Good-by." said Matilda. She held out her hand; her eyes had a strange sweetness—the sweetness of a joy relinquished at birth, laid reverently away with her one day of youth. "Good-by," she faltered, "it grows late." "Good-by?" the man said, puzzled. Then he laughed down into her eyes, "Good-by until tomorrow." "We have had to-day," said Matilda. "And will have to-morrow." The man's boat shot out into the stream. Matilda climbed the hill that led to the village—the dreary village. And in the west where the day was fast dying the star that comes first to VM waiting sky glowed.

One of Lord Rosebery's characteristics is a love of exact knowledge. When he first became foreign minister, his familiar acquaintance with the personages and personal history of all the reigning families of Europe, their ministers and other functionaries, was found to be so minute that his associates found him more convenient to consult than the "Almanach de Gotha." There is a story that one of his first acts i n the foreign office was to send for Sir Edward Hertslet, chief of the treaty department, and ask- him bluntly: "What is a protocol?" He knew, of course, what a protocol is, but what he wanted was a scientific account oi it from the highest authority. T h e H a n d s o m e s t Calendar o f t h e Season.

The 5.664.811 passengers carried over Santa F e system lines the last fiscal year traveled in the aggregate 514,037,- 047 miles or a little more than 90 miles per passenger. Considering the fact that so many made long trips to California the percentage of "short-trippers" must have been quite large to bring the average down to less than a hundred. It has been found that editors' journeys average only 50 miles, which fact effectually disposes of the musty joke about newspaper men riding on passes to save board bills. They apparently stay a t home more than other folks do. "To the Shade or the Palm.'* The C. H. <& D.

An Oakland county man was found dead this week with his head in a small stream, and the coroner's jury could notdecide whether he was drowned or suffocated. A post mortem examination showed that his stomach contained a quart of whiskey, and in view of this fact, the jury could well have decided that the man was drowned. W. C • 7. U- \ Edited by the W. C.

Idfo U t r i N l a Character indeed is written plainly enough on the faces one meets in daily life. Some speak of tragedy, some of comedy, and not a few g i v e you a distinct warning. Even a ride in a street car or a short railway journey gives proof of this fact. Look around you* Those twe strangers opposite you never s a w before, yet you know that one is passionate, t h e other mean, and your heart warms to the little oki lady near by. You want no one to assure you she is kind and gentle, while a whole network of wrinkles about t b e eyes t d l s you that the old gentleman in the corner loves his joke. Strange how quick we are to read oui neighbor's face and how slow to realize that our own is open for him to read!. Yet it is. The story is there, and w e are writing it every day of oui lives. Not only do smiles and frowns leave traces, but every passion which s w a y s the heart stamps its record upon the fape. T o m e Mountain Legend.

If a tree is girdled by mice, it usually dios. If, howevT, as soon as the injury is noticed, the wound is cleaned und covered .with grafting wax and wrapped with cloth so that the nir is excluded and the wooii prevented from drying out, the sap which rises through the soft wood will continue to do so. and, returning through the inner bark, growth will be made all around the upper part of tho wound. and if the latter is not too largo there is a chance o:' its healing over. If, however, the wood becomes dry before the bandage is p u t on. it will almost certainly die. When tho wax and bandage are applied, the tree should be headed- baeic considerably to lessen the amount of transpiration of moisture, as there will not be as much sap rise as if the tree wore uninjured. Girdled trees arc sometimes saved by connecting the upper and lower edges of the girdle with scions, which are inserted all around the trunk. Mice may be destroyed iu the orchard by using a mixture of one part by weight of arsenic with three parts, of cornmeal. To use this safely nail two pieces of board each six feet long and six inches wide together so as to make a trough. Invert this near the trees to be protected and place about a tablespoonful of the poison ou a shingle and put it near the middle of the run, renewing the poison as often as is necessary.—W. T.

The Octroi' F.tmueier is >'ow Up Against the Real Thin*—The Grand ItapicU Bribery Case Enlivened by Mrs. Garman' 8 Testimony Frank. C. Andrews reached the oinl 01' his free career Saturday, ami after hours ot . desperate efforts to secure bondsmen on the second warrant issued aginst hliu was lodged in a cell at the county jail shortly before in o'clock Saturday night, at last on a level with the common herd of criminals. For hours after the bank wrecker was leg-all} incarcerated within the four walls of Sheriff Dickson's stone apartment house, enough of his quondam prestige- r^iuuiuwl_to ^ave him from the indignity of a cell. His short sojourn in the luxurious family apartments of Sheriff Dickson, with book* and pictures, savored little of compulsory detention. Inserted In his extremity by many of his former friends, and. left by Hiose-iir-n--position to serve him. to x\w imiuedtiate vengeance of the law. it remained for tiie law's representative, the sheriff, to keep him for a few short hours from the disgrace of a felon's cell. As the result of this consideration the afternoon's fruitless quest for bondsmen was continued throughout the evening, but though ex-Sheriff Hauley was ready to go on the prisoner's bond, another signer was not forthcoming, ami at P;.~5 o'clock the Nuisoleon of finance was placed behind tlie bars. If convicted on the complaint under which vhe is incarcerated. Andrews might be sent to Jackson for 20 years. Itumors on Oris wold street are per sistem that if F. C. Andrews would talk he could make some revelations that would prove most unpleasant to some financial institutions, and the opinion was expressed that some of the banks holding the certified checks with which Andrews took up the collateral last week will have to stand the loss It is even stated that one or two of the institutions knew at the time they held these checks over that there wcrv no funds to Mr. Andrews' credit in the City bank with which to pay them. Cashier Henry li. Andrews, of the City Savings bank, is still confined to his home by illness, although he is said to be much improved. It is probable that the first warrant against him will be returned Monday, and bail fixed. Prosecutor Hunt is. dissatisfied with the .$ltM><H> bail bond arranged by Henry H. Andrews' attorney.

The Schley Cane. The Washington Post says: Concerning the conference of the president with the Republican leaders of the house and senate at the White Houstt to-day that one of the chief topics under discussion was the Schley case-. As the result of the conference, it is said, the president will not undertake to discuss, in his review any of the events which occurred prior to the battle of Santiago, on the ground that if Schely's conduct was reprehensible, it was condoned by the navy department and by President McKinley when fckddey'^-promotion w a s r e t u r n mended. As for the battle of Santiago, the president is inclined to the opinion, according to his visitors, that the victory was won by all the captainn, and that credit cannot, therefore, l>e given exclusively to Schley, although the latter acted courageously and with the Oregon succeeded In preventing the escape/ of the Colon. The president Is anxious that his disposition of the case should not be followed by. action in congress. Speaker Henderson was able to assure the president that legislation could be blocked in the- house, but it was pointed out to him by the senators that the situation In he senate was different.

C D A P T K B X ( C o n t i n u e d . ) Not that shots were uncommon in San Jose by any means, for where men carry arms continually it ia only natural that an occasional explosion occurs. But there was something peculiar about this discharge—it came in the midst of silence, and seemed, as indeed it must be, a signal. Jack struck a match and lit his pipe. It was none of his funeral, a n y way, and if on the morrow the good people of Gautarica woko up under another dynasty, why that was their lookout. The recollection of Barrajo gave Jack something of a shock, for he remenv bered the expressed determination of the general that he should be made a fjijl-fledgedjcitizen of the stormy little republic, with all the rights and privfleges that citizenship Implied. Could that mean duties, too?" Would he be expected to sally forth and join in the game of hide and seek, of shooting at one who wore the rival colors, whether in arms or endeavoring to escape? He guessed not. Still he dared not go to sleep—who would care to do so when a volcano was In eruption all around?—and the night gradually wore away. The clamor died away a dozen times, only to break out afresh. At last, dawn. Jack Overton was jolly glad to see it arrive through the little window. He devoutly prayed he might not pass another such night for a long time to come. Somehow, he could not but speculate as to the complexion of the new dynasty, and what effect, if any, the change might have on his fortunes. Then came a heavy rap on the door —a rap he knew full well could proceed from no other than Barrajo. So Overton, pipe still in hand, stepped over to the door and opened it. He had no sooner done so than a mighty cheer went up from more than two ic.orc of throats. Jack stared in amazement, for he realized that the whole army of the republic was represented in that double line of shouting and gesticulating troops, soirte of them barefooted, others most gorgeously appareled, and all carrying arms. General Barrajo stood there, smiling and bowing. To say that Overton was surprised, would be expressing it mildly—he could not for the life of him understand why the general wanted to marshal his ragtag and bobtail army before his little domicile in order to tell him who was "in" and who was "out" at the palace. To Barrajo he must look for an explanation, and when a wave of that hero's sword again brought silence upon the scene, Jack hastened td ask: "What does this mean, general?" "They want a speech, Senor Overton —it is customary." "Then why don't you give it to them?" "Por Dios! It is not Barrajo they wish to hear. Every day I make them a speech and swear at them in six languages. It is you, senor, you alone, they clamor to hear." "Good heavens! why should I address- your old army?" demanded Jack, aghast, and with growing uneasiness. "Because, Senor Overton, you have been appointed to rule over us—last night you ceased to be a plain citizen and became the President of Gautarica Republic!" C H A P T E R X I . Jack Moves On t h e Palace. You could almost have knocked Jack Overton down with a feather when he heard Barrajo make this astounding declaration—'in fact he was tempted to pinch himself, in order to discover whether he were awake or sleeping. It was not Jack's habit to appear distressed— whether the announcement were a huge canard, or given in dead earnest, he did not mean these men of Gautarica should see him staggered, BO he quickly pulled himself together and, laughing, said: "Ah! indeed! Thank you for the honor, but tell me, how did this little event transpire?" "In the natural course of events, your excellency. The noble army had grown weary of Roblado, whose promises of reform were never kept. They liked Montejo no better, and, as usual, elected me dictator, with the power to choose thoir next President" A wave of the sword brought out another blast of cheers and whistles and vivas—then silence. It was wonderful. ., , "But, see here. I am a n alien!" protested Jack, weakly. . ^ "Not so-^you have boon a full-fledged citin »n of vthe repuhttc for two days. a a \ a3 such, cs eltgJbU t o t h e presidency as any man among us," declared the general, smiling blandly. "Then I can't decline?" dubiously. "It is too late—presidents die and run away, but they never decline." "Well, in that case, I might as well make the best of a bad bargain and go in. Only I warn you, general, I shall really be the president, and the reforms you have heard me speak of must engage our immediate attention." Now, few men could have adapted themselves to the situation in that masterly manner! "Are you ready to take the oath of office?" "At any time," was the nonchalant reply. Some people might have thought such a solemn ceremony necessitated pomp *ndV fuH-drefis—they might even have been horrified at the sight of the new president standing in his shirt sleeves within the doorway of his adobe domicile, with his pipe between his teeth, holding up his right hand and repeating in Spanish the oath of office, which Barrajo uttered for perhaps the thirteenth time in his longheld capacity aa dictator. Thus it was done. The general called for a farewell round of cheers, and they were given with as much good will as the husky and parched throats that had been in positive evidence all night could muster. Then tho rabble betook- itself off, much to Jack's relief, the general not forgetting to give the highly entertaining military salute due to the exalted office his friend and protege now occupied. Having once embarked upon the sea of adventure, Jack had become quite reckless as to what port he brought up at. There was at least a chance that this astonishing change in his fortunes might mean a material advance in the line of his dream, for he had never yet heard of a president of a Central American republic who had not managed by some means or other, fair or foul, to amass wealth by virtue of his position. Book T w o . Thfi M o d e r n A r j j o u n a t * . Two years had flown since Senor Jack was duly installed in office as president of the republic—such a period Gautariea had never seen before, and would hardly witness again in the next decade. It would be impossible to narrate the many successes and failures Jack made during those two years, nor shall I attempt it, since more important events await our attention. About the only cloud in Jack's sky was Dona Juanita, who had become passionately enamored of him. Barlajo, who dearly desired to see him settled down, advised him to m a n y her, and cast his fortunes for all time with the people of his adoption. Whereupon Jack felt compelled to narrate the whole story of his past, and Barrajo was so affected by it that he fell upon his nock and wept tears of sympathy, generous old soul that ho was. But Barrajo was fearful of the revenge Dona Juanita might take if her love were openly repulsed, and finallyconfided to Jack the plan he had for the advancement of their fortunes. Briefly It was this: When Cortez, with fire and sword, scourged the fair land of the Montezumas to the north, and his savage soldiers dealt out death with a lavish hand whenever the people failed to respond to their stern orders for more treasure, a reign of terror had swept over the whole of Mexico. Then it was that thousands fled to the unknown southland, led by their priests, seeking new homes amid the forest-clad wilderness of Central America. Since the object of Cortez's brutal soldiers' decree was to gain possession of what riches the country possessed, these guardians of the temples, before indulging in flight, despoiled them of the golden images and jewel-studded altars, which vast treasures they carried with them, determined that, come what might, these bearded barbarians from over the sea should not succeed in accomplishing their boasted object. History tells of the wonderful booty secured by the Spanish conquistadors; indeed, the imagination is appalled at the extent of the riches they secured. In Peru, the people, hoping to ransom their captive Inca, Atahuallpa, from the cruel hands of Plzarro, had readily filled a room seventeen feet square and as high as a man could reach with gold in the shape of Ingots and statues from the temples and palaces, and history likewise declares that the quantity of treasure conveyed away and concealed forever from the covetous eyes of the Europeans "was said to have Infinitely surpassed that which they had secured." As in Peru, so it was alto In Mexico, richest ot all t h e native countries of the now world-—there fugitive priests carried with them to the new land to the south probably the most astounding collection of treasure ever gathered together since t h e world began. This was the bee that for years had buzzed in the bonnet of old General Barrajo—he had never let it get out of his mind day or night in all that time. "And, Senor Jack," he now declared, triumphantly, slapping the president familiarly on t h e back, "success has crowned my long search. Yes, por Dlos, senor, I believe I have found the treasure." C H A P T E R X I I . A Sentinel of t h e Centuries. When he heard what General Barrajo had to say Jack Overton found some difficulty in restraining his delight. Should this enormous fortune fall into their hands how his sanguine dreams would be realized, and what wonderful things be could accomplish. Barrajo disclosed a rude parchment map, supposed to have been drawn by an Indian many scores of years before. Overton, with that readiness characteristic of the enterprising American, at once made a duplicate copy of the same. mmm* C O * O R IE S S . In t h e house Wednesday aTterflOoir *»«*» T§f of • *bll»<uiphjn Wi Then they talked over the wonderful matter in a most serious way, arranging their plans even down to the most minute details. The crisis was coming none too soon, Jack concluded, for unless something happened to get him out of the country there must presently be an explosion. He had feared It of late, for Dona Juanita was beaming love upon him every time they met, and from more than one quarter he found black looks bent upon him by the jealous-minded young gallants of San Juan. Many a conqueror of kingdoms has met his fate finally through the vengeful hand of a woman whose love he has treated lightly. , Overton cursed the hour when he first saw this dark-eyed houri luring her two rivals to meet in deadly combat so that the public ball might wind up in its usual blaze of glory. Here then came old Barrajo, just in the nick of time, it seemed, with a grand project which, if successful, would open up an avenue of escape. Thus Overton was doubly anxious to make a start, having so much at stake. The general declared two days would be quite sufficient to make all his preparations, for he believed in being adequately armed and equipped for any emergency. It was a moonlight night when they set out, and as usual San Jose was given up to music and merry making. Our two fortune hunters waited UUT til near the noon of night, when the hot time in the old town had in a measure subsided, and then, suitably disguised so as to conceal their exalted personality from curious eyes, quitted the capital, where the electric lights still glowed and announced the presence of modern institutions. When the two men left San Jose and plunged into the interior they did not know their movements had been closely watched, and that immediate pursuit was given, yet such was the case. Evidently others there were who suspected Barrajo's wonderful plans for fortune's favors and meant to take a bid in the same quarter. Perhaps it would grow interesting before the end was reached, especially since the two adventurers carried plenty of arms and were grimly resolved to fight for the prize if it came to that point. Barrajo soon left the main trail, and they were now traversing what had once been a path through the primeval _forest. but was so overgrown with swinging vines that the keen machete of the general was. kept swinging most of the time in order to hack out a passage. Which would naturally make it an easy matter for those who followed to keep upon their trail. Our two adventurers traveled all day, and at sunset camped for very necessary rest and refreshment. After a hasty meal, only carrying their arms and a pick and shovel between them, to be used in emergencies, they advanced in the direction Barraju uad marked out. His reasoning was sound. If Jack doubted it at first, he was presently convinced that the general had built wisely. •Madre de Dlos! Look, Senor Jack!" suddenly exclaimed the dictator, starting back, and pointing to Borne object beyond. The white moonlight sifted through the tangled masses of tropical verdure above, and at that particular moment fell full upon what appeared to be a human form, bent partly over in a devotional attitude, and facing the rising moon. Jack was startled a t first, b u t seeing no motion to the figure, which was partly covered by the wild undergrowth, he realized that it was a rude statue, carved to represent a sun-worshiper and placed there hundreds of years ago by those who fled from the Spanish reign of terror to the-north. They approached closer, and marveled to find this image apparently of silver. „ (To Be Continued.) ^ the motion to recommit the. oleomargarine bill w n s lopt, 117 to 101, and the bill then was passed wluiout division. - , The amendment to the bill providing for the inspection and branding of renovated or process butter was adopted. Under the agreement made last week the remainder of the day was devoted to the consideration of bills from tho committee on war claims. An increase of the salary of the minister to Persia from $5,000 to $7,000 wan recommended by the senate committee on foreign relations. A definite understanding has been reached by the. river and harbor committee that the river and harbor bill now approaching completion shall be kept down to about $00,000,000, the amount carried by the measure framed and defeated last year. Itepresentative Corliss made his first argument on his bill which provides for the laying of a government cable from San Francisco to Manila. Mr. Corliss has divided the different aspects of the situation into six chapters, to be argued upon from dny to day. in the battle he will wage against congress yielding any concessions to cable monopolies, notably t h e Commercial ("able Co.. controlled by t h e Maekay- Bennett torches. The house passed the bill to provide ^T^thp—prtynient of the-etetos-of--con-- federate officers and soldiers, whose horses, side arras and baggage were taken from them by union soldiers contrary to the terms of the surrender of Lee and Johnson's armies. Th« amount to be paid under the bill wa.-» limited to $50,000. H3' a unanimous roll cult no vote beins taken, the house passed Corliss' joint resolution for an amendment to the constitution to have the senators elected by direct vote of the people. Chances are understood to be slim for tho resolution getting through the senate. The diplomatic and consular appropriation bill now completed by the house committee on foreign affairs carries a bout • $1,900,000, a small increase over last year. A new United States legation, building at Pekin is provided, to cost $«0,000. The Indian appropriation bill now completed carries $8.844.500.

Cntehnc M t o * A Philadelphia woman who <H*ttk«* both cats and mice haa» discovered a novel substitute for one as a n exterminator of the other. This substitute Is nothing more nor less than an ordinary land tortoise. Ever since last summer, when t h e tortoise was added to the family circle by the woman's youngest son, aged 9. she has noticed that t h e mice, with which t h e house had previously been overrun, were gradually disappearing. It was not until the other day, however, that she discovered tho cause. She was sitting very quietly with some fancy work, and the tortoise, which has the liberty of the bouse, was apparently asleep i n a corner. Presently a Httle mouse made its appearance, and the tortoise opened its beady eyes. Round and round ran the mouse, getting nearer and nearer the tortoise as though fascinated. Finally it was within striking distance. The tortoise darted out its head, there was a snap of the Jaws, a tiny little squeak, and the mouse was dead. Then the tortoise calmly and deliberately set to work, says the Philadel-- phia Record, to eat its victim. K n l H e r ' s Y a c h t A r r i v e * . The German imperial yacht IToheiizollern. commanded by Admiral Count You Baudissin. arrived unex- I>cctedly at New York Wednesday afternoon, a day ahead of her schedule. When she sailed from ST. Thomas on Saturday last cable advices stated rhat she would proceed to Bermuda. and after a stay of a d-ay or so in that port proceed to the Tinted States. Her non-arrival at Bermuda otvasioued some apprehension that she had met with heavy weather, but it was said that the entire voyage had been smooth witli the extvption that ther.' was a strong westerly gale Tuesday. The project for a magnificent new hotel at Kalamazoo has fallen through. A M U S E M E N T S I X O E T R O I T WEEK KNDINli F E B . 21.

Adelbert Swarthout who'has been spending several weeks with relatives here returned to his home near Harbor Beach, Tuesday. He was accompanied by his cousin, L. A. Hendep, of Dansvihe. Sometime ago an inspector went over the FRD routes goinwr out of Fenton to inspect the mail boxes. He condemned some of the boxes, as they did not comply with the reulations then in force. There was a lively kick by some of the patrons, supported by the local officials. Through Congressman Smith a modification was secured, allowing all 18 inch waterproof boxes. An Interesting Meeting Held at Howell, Feb. 21-22, The State farmers institute for this county was held in the court house on the above dates and It seemed that the weather bureau did its share to make the meeting a success although the going was somewhat against it. The crowd was large from start to finish and much enthusiasm manifested. The meeting was opened by president on the needs of the farmer and how best to accomplish best results. The first paper was by W. H . Gilbert on "My experience in growing and handling sugar beets." The raising of the su- -gax-beethas -weaderf-ttUy increased during the past few years, especially in the State of Michigan. I will tell you something of Putnam Township In It. The Pinckney DISPATCH always be* lieve<? that anything that is worth having at all is worth going after with a vengence, and we generally have succeeded in our object. Next tall will occur the electien for state senators, and as it is conceded by Genesee county that Livingston county is entitled to the nomination this year for senator of the thirteenth district, we thought it high time that PutBam-townahip came to the front with a man for the place. The gentleman whom the DISPATCH would mention is one we have had dealings with for the past twelve years and always found him a true, loyal citizen-, and one who, w4ea—be believes be is right, sticks to it to the finish. • my experience: In the first place it needs thorough cuU H o n - G - W ; T e e P l e n e e d s b u t l i t t l e A Pleasant Surprise. About thirty ot the friends of the Editor and wife pave us a pleasant surprise on Saturday evening last as a uentle reminder that it was the twentieth anniversary of their wedding The evening was spent in games and social chat, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The company left a beautiful nickel bread tray as a reminder ot their visit and token ot good will. To Our Patrons- We wish to advise all our patrons and friends who have un-settled accounts and past due notes, to come and settle as soon as possible as we must balance our books at time oflnventory. Thanking all for past favors and wishing yon a Happy New Year, we are, Very truly yours, TEEPLE & CADWELL ture. Plowing should be at least 8 inches in depth and the top should be thoroughly pulverized, not too deep but tiue, should run over a float, after the float the drill then roll; seed should not be over f inches deep and A inch is better. As soon as you can see the'rows start the cultivator: if ground is crusted it will not do any harm to use the harrow or weeder going crosswise of the row. Use plenty of seed. As soon as the beet puts out four leaves thorough weeding and thinning must be done—do not leave but one beet in the place—rows should be 18 or 20 inches and beets not less than 7 or 8 inches apart in the row. After beet gets up b' or 7 inches would go through with the hoe taking out ail weeds—there should be no weeds or grass in the row—it is easy to kill grass and weeds while smalt. Cultivate shallow until the second or third time then once cultivate deep returning to shallow cultivators after that. ! When harvesting they should not lay on j the ground auy length of time, if I could j not have a c;»r at once would put in pits with not less than a car-load to the pit. If i you have to wait any length of time would ' cover pit with a little earth—about 1 inch —then after the sweating process cover with straw followed by 6" or 7 inches of j earth and they will keep until March, I i prefer waiting until the factory is ready for mv beets than try to get them to the factory too early. It costs about $0 or $7 per acre to get beets topped and put into rows. I would seperate help somewhat as you can get better work. I use wood ashes as fertilizer. Salt is good. Fertilizer should be rich in potash. It costs about 7 or 8 tons per acre to raise beets and all over that amount is profit. I use 7 or 8 tons of leached ashes per acre. Beets will grow and produce sugar on any kind of ground. Much ground must be plowed and rolled time and again until thoroughly packed so that the root will go deep. Never put them on ground with quick.saud bottom. Do uot think that raising beets is as hard on ground us potatoes. When beets are ripe the outside leaves will drop and turn yellow. Would not sow beets more than two years; believe iu rotation of crop. The beet industry goes hand in hand with the dairy. The beet pulp is «u excellent feed for milch cows. Would keep the pulp in silo. The pulp is also a good feed for lambs. I sincerely believe that if legislation — does not intervene to injure the industry inside of 10 years Michigan will have 100 factories instead of 13 as at present. If the factories get to disposing of their bi. proceeds the price of sugar beets will rise or the price of sugar will come down. What kind of a horse does the farmer want and how to get it, was the next paper by Chas. E . Beurman. Farmer does not want the big coach horse, the horse that weighs 1150 ar 1200 is big enough. If necessary use three in heavy work. Let those who wish to raise race horses do so but the farmer better let 'em alone—it is expensive business. Would rather break the colt at one year old, get them use to noise around the stable. AFTERNOON SESSION: The first paper on the afternoon program was Advantages of a Canning factory and steps necessary to obtain one, by Geo. £ . Hilton. The advantages are numerous and I only present a few of them.

The following questions asked on Feb. 23 will be answered on March 2. • "Wbon did Cain marry? Baring the blessing of articles of devotion such as Candles, Ashes etc. should the people kneel or ftand? Was St. Joseph the cousin of the Blessed Virgin? Are Masses ever offered for the repose of the souls of Non-Catholics? Is the Bible an infallible guide? Explain the Spanish Inquisition?"Ts not the church opposed to education? Can we not be saved in any church? Li time permits he will continue bis study of the church of the Middle Ages. The DISPATCH spared neither time or expense in securing a report of the state farmers institute and it looks as though our efforts were appreciated as nearly every mail brings new subscribers and we were obliged to order three extra quires to rill this week's orders. Are you on our list. The Entertainment. The Cosmorama which was given at the opera bouse on Tuesday evening was not so well attended as it should have ueen. Much time had been spent in the training of those who took part and it should have been better patronized, especially by the friends ot the societies baving it in charge. There was much that was new and novel, and the little folks and young people did their parts nicely and are entitled to praise. The only drawback was that there was not help enough to assist in the changes and it took to long between parts, Mrs. Scoville has worked hard to make it a sue ess, and as an entertainment it was certainly a success, In The Justice Court. The hearing of of Floyd Reason vs George Burcb—no cause for action. The trial in justice court last Fn« day, between Homer Reason who sued George Judsou for wa^es due him was decided in favor ot defendant. At the trial of Erastus and Dodson Webster in Justice court last Thursday an the charge of lewd and lascivious cohabitation the parties were discharged, and immediately following, Dodson Webster was re arrested on the charge of assault and battery on his mother. The hearing is called tor Monday, March 3. At St. Marys Church. On last Sunday evening Fr. Comerford unintentionally omitted to answer two questions. He will answer Business Pointers. t o r Sale.

I* th* Bomtn Amphitheater* to Those In Which the Chrls- Wlttastands the Assaults of the .Tempter—Words of PauL ^Copyright, 1502, Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, Feb. 23.—This discourse of Dr. Talmage is full of inspiring thoughts for those who find life a struggle and shows that we have many celestial sympathizers'; texts, Hebrews s i i , 1, "Seeing we also are compassed « b o u t with so great a cloud of witn e s s e s ; " I Corinthians xv, 32, "I have fought with beasts at Ephesus." Crossing the Alps by the Mont Cenis pass or through the Mont Cenis tunnel, you are in a few hours set down At Verona, Italy, and in a few minutes begin examining one of the grandest ruins of the world, the Amphitheater. "The whole building sweeps around you i n a circle. You stand in the arena where the combat was once fought or the race run, and on all sides the seats rise, tier above tier, until you count forty elevations or galleries, as I shall s e e fit to call them, in which sat the senators, the kings and the 25,000 excited spectators. At the sides of the arena and under the galleries are the cages where the lions and tigers are kept without food until, frenzied with atuager and thirst, they are let out up- -on. some poor victim, who, with his - sword and alone, is condemned to meet -them. I think that Paul himself once stood in such a place and that it was not omly figuratively, but literally, that he had "fought with beasts at Ephesus." The gala day has come. From all the world the people are pouring into^ Verona. Every place is filled. Immensity of audience sweeping the great circle. Silence. The time for the contest h a s come. A Roman official leads forth t h e victim into the arena. Let him get h i s sword with firm grip into his right hand. The 25,000 sit breathlessly watching. I hear the door at the side of the arena creak open. Out plunges the half starved lion, his tongue athlrst for Mood, and with a roar that brings all t h e galleries to their feet he rushes against the sword of his combatant. iEk> you know how long a stroke a man will strike when his life depends upon the first thrust of his blade? The wild beast, lame and bleeding, slinks back toward the side of the arena; then rallying his wasted strength he c o m e s up with fiercer eye and more terrible roar than ever, only to be driven back with a fatal wound, while t h e combatant comes in with stroke after stroke until the monster is dead a t his feet, and-the 25,000 clap their 'hands and utter a shout that makes .the city tremble. I T o one of the Roman amphitheatri- •ral audiences of 100,000 people Paul refers when he says, "We are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." The direct reference in t h e last passage is made to a race; but elsewhere having discussed that, I take now Paul's favorite idea of the Christ i a n life as a combat. t "The fact Is that every Christian m a n has a lion to fight. Yours is a bad temper. You have been thrown b y It time and again, but in the strength of God you have arisen to drive it back. I verily believe you will conquer. I think that the temptation is getting weaker and weaker. ~ToaThavengiven it so many wounds t h a t the prospect is that it will die, a n d you shall be the victor, through ^Christ Courage, brother! Do not let t h e sands of the arena drink the blood of your soul! I Your lion is the passion for strong drink. You may have contended against it for twenty years; but it is strong of body and thirsty of tongue. T a k e this weapon, sharp and keen— reach up and get it from Gods armory — t h e sword of the Spirit. With that "thou may est drive him back and conq u e r ! « But why specify when every man 'and woman has a lion to fight? If 'there be one here who has no besetting sin, let him speak out, for him have I offended. If you have not fought the * lion. It is because you have let the lion eat you up. This very moment the contest goes on. The Trajan celebrai, tlon, where 10,000 gladiators fought "and 11,000 wild beasts were slain, was 'for the life of the body; this is for the ;ltfe of the soul. That was with wild beasts from the jungle; this is with . t h e roaring lion of hell. ~* Men think, when they contend -against an evil habit, that they have "H© fight it all alone. No! They stand •in the center of an immense circle of :sympathy. Paul had been reciting the names of Abel Enoch. Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac. Joseph; Gideon and Barak and then says "Being compassed about (With so great a cloud of witnesses." On the first elevation of the ancient raaaph 1theater, on the day of a celebra- ~Uon, sat Tiberius or Augustus or the reigning king. So in the great arena <ot spectators that watch pur struggles —aasVln the first divine gallery, as I shaH caH 4t» sits our King, one Jesus. O n his head are many crowns. The Roman e m W o c g o i t h V . plate $ V cold blooded conquest*) butfc>utjt;ag hath come, tp his place by the broken hearts healed and the tears wiped away and the souls redeemed. The Roman emperor sat, with folded arms, indifferent as to whether the swordsman or the |ion beat, but our King's sympathies are all with us—nay, unheard of condescension! I see him come down from the gallery into the arena to help us in the fight, shouting until all up and down his voice is heard: "Fear not! I will help thee! I will strengthen thee by the right hand of my power!" I look again, and I see the angelic gallery. There they are—the angel that swung the sword at the gate of Eden, the same that Ezekiel saw upholding tile throne of God, and from which I look away, for the splendor is insufferable. Here are the guardian angels. That one watched a patriarch; this one protected a child; that one has been pulling a soul out of temptation! All these are messengers of light! Those drove the Spanish armada on the rocks. This turned Sennacherib's living hosts into a heap of 185,000 corpses. Those yonder chanted the Christmas carol oyer BethTeh~em~until the chant awoke the shepherds. And there, holier and mightier than all, is Michael, the archangel. To command an earthly host gives dignity, but this one is leader of the 20,000 chariots of God and of the ten thousand times ten thousand angels. I think v God gives command to the archangel, and the •archangel to the seraphim, and the seraphim to the cherubim, until all the lower orders of heaven hear the command and go forth on the high behest. Now bring on your lions! Who can fear? All the spectators in the angelic gallery are our friends. Though the arena be crowned with temptations, we shall, with the angelic help, strike them down in the name of our God and leap on their, fallen carcasses! O bending throng of bright angelic faces and swift wings and lightning foot, I hail you to-day from the dust and struggle of the arena! I look again, and I see the gallery of the prophets and apostles. Who are those mighty ones up yonder? Hosea and Jeremiah and Daniel and Isaiah and Paul and Peter and John and James. There sits Noah, waiting for all the world to come into the ark, and Moses, waiting till the last ked sea shall divide, and Jeremiah, waiting for the Jews to return, and John of the apocalypse, waiting for the swearing of the angel that time shall be no longer. Glorious spirits! Ye were howled at, ye were stoned, ye were spit upon! They have been in this fight themselves, and they are all with us. Daniel knows all about lions. Paul fought with beasts at Ephesus. I look again, and I see the gallery or the martyrs. Who is that? Hugh Latimer, sure enough! He would not apologize for the truth he preacned, and so he died, the night before swinging from the bedpost in perfect glee at the thought of emancipation. Who is that army of 6,666? They are the Thebaft legion who died for the faith. Here Is a larger host In magnificent array, 884,000, who perished for Christ in the persecutions of Diocletian. Yonder is a family group, Felicitas of Rome and her children. While they were dying for the faith she stood encouraging them. One son was whipped to death by thorns; auother was flung from a rock; another was beheaded. At last the mother became a martyr. There they are together, a family group in heaven! Yonder is John Bradford, who said in the fire. "We shall have a merry supper with the Lord to-night!" Yonder is Henry Voes. who exclaimed as he died, "If I had ten heads, they should all fall off for Christ!" The great throng of the martyrs! They had hot lead poured down their throats; horses were fastened to their hands and other horses to their feet, and thus they were pulled apart; they had their tongues pulled out by redhot pinchers: they were sewed up in the skins of animals and then thrown to the dogs; they were daubed with combustibles and set on fire! If all the martyrs' stakes that have been kindled could be set at proper distances, they would make the midnight all the world over bright as noonday! And now they sit yonder in the martyrs' gallery. For them the fires of persecution have gone out; the swords are sheathed and the mob hushed. Now they watch us with an all observing sympathy. They know all the pain, all the injustice all the privation. They cry: "Courage! The fire will not consume; the floods cannot drown; the lions cannot devour. Courage down there in the arena!" What? Are they all looking? This hour we answer back the salutation they give, and cry. "Hail, sons and daughters of the Are!" I look again and I see another gallery— that of eminent Christians. What strikes me strangely is the mixing in companionship of those who on earth could not agree. There I s (Albert Barnes and around him the presbytery who tried him for heterodoxy! Y6nder are Lyman Beecher and the church court that denounced-him! Stranger than all, there are John Calvin and James Arminius! Who would * have thought that they would sit so lovingly together? There are Georg9 Whitefield and the ministers who would not let him. come into their pulpits because they thought,him a fanatic. There are the sweet singers , Toplady, Montgomery, Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts and Mrs. Slgourney. If heaven had had no music before they went up, they would have started the singing. And there the band of missionaries—David Abeel, talking of China redeemed; and John Scudder, of India saved; and David Brainerd, of the aborigines evangelized; and Mrs. Adoniram Judson, whose prayers for Burma took heaven by violence! All these Christians are looking into the arena. Our struggle is nothing to theirs! Do we in Christ's cause suffer from the cold? They walked Greenland's icy mountains. Do we suffer from the heat? They sweltered in tropics. Do we get fatigued? They fainted, with none to care for them but cannibals. Are we persecuted? They were anathematized. And as they look from their gallery and see us falter in the presence of the lions I seem to hear Isaac Watts addressing us in his old hymn, only a little changed: Must you be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease While others fought to win the prize Or sailed through bloody seas? Toplady shouts in his old hymn: Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down by the willows take; Loud to the praise of love divine Bid every string awake. While Charles Wesley, the Methodist, breaks forth In words a little varied: A charge to keep you have, A God to glorify, A never dying soul to save 'And fit it for the sky! I look again and I see the gallery of our departed. Many of those in the other galleries we have heard of, but these we knew. Oh, how familiar their faces_!_ They sat at our tables, and we walked to the house of God in company. Have they forgotten us? Those fathers and mothers started us on the road of life. Are they careless as to what becomes of us? And those children— do they look with stolid indifference as to whether we win or lose this battle of life? They remember the day they left us. They remember the agony of the last farewell. Though years In heaven, they know our faces. They remember our sorrows. They speak our names. They watch this fight for heaven. Nay, I .see them rise up and lean over and wave before us their recognition and encouragement. That gallery is not full.. They are keeping places for us. After we have slain the lion they expect the king to call us. saying, "Come up higher!" Between the hot struggles in the arena I wipe the sweat from my brow and stand on tiptoe, reaching up my right hand to clasp theirs in rapturous handshaking, while their voices come ringing down from the gallery, crying, "Be thon faithful unto death, and you shall have a crown!" But here I pause, overwhelmed with the majesty and the joy of the scene! Gallery of the King! Gallery of angels! Gallery of prophets and apostles! Gallery of friends and kindred! O v majestic circles of light and love! Throngs, throngs, throngs! How shall we stand the gaze of the universe? Myriads of eyes beaming on us! Myriads of hearts beating in sympathy for us! How shall we ever dare to sin again? How shall we ever become discouraged again? How shall we ever feel lonely again? With God for us and angels for us and prophets and apostles for us and the great souls of the ages for Us and our glorified kindred for us—shall we give up the fight and die? No, Son of God, who didst die to save us! No, ye angels, whose wings are spread forth to shelter us! No, ye prophets and apostles, whose warnings startle us! No, ye loved ones, whose arms are outstretched to receive us! No, we will never surrender! Sure I must fight if I would reign, Be faithful to my Lord, And bear the cross, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer though they die; They see the triumph from afar And seize it with their eye. When that illustrious day shall rise iAnd all thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. My hearers, shall we die in . the arena or rise to join our friends in the gallery? Through Christ we may come off more than conquerers. A soldier dying in the hospital rose up in bed the last moment and cried, "Here, here!" His attendants put him back on his pillow and asked him why he shouted "Here!" "Oh, I heard the roll call of heaven, and I was only answering to my name!" I wonder whether after this battlrof this life is over our names will be called in the muster roll of the pardoned and glorified and, with the joy of heaven breaking upon our ^ouls, shall cry, "Here, here!"

In the vicinity of Paris a home for old domestic animals was established some time ago, and among the present inmates, axe a mule 72 years old, a oow 36.. and a pig 25 years old. It ia claimed that domestic animals which lead an easy life are likely to live far beyond the average age, if properly cared for. Many birds certainly attain an extraordinary age. Eagles, ravens and parrots frequently live ai hundred years and pelicans probably live- a s long, for it Is recorded that one of these birds was placed in the Amsterdam zoological garden some time before 1192, and was still there in 1870. This pelican, too, was at least four or five years old when it was placed in the garden. Eels are also long lived. Professor Buchner tells of one, which was kept for twenty-six years in a pond at Thiengeu, in which it was placed at the age of' eight years. It attained a length of nearly five feet, and Its favorite haunt was in the current that flowed Into the pond. All authorities agree that domestic animals which are obliged to do a: good deal of work do not live so long as those which lead a placid life. Another Man Altogether. Valley, Mo.. Feb. 24th.—There is a man in this town who has undergone a moat remarkable physical change In the last few months. His name is Perry Nelson and those who knew hlra but a short time ago are amazed at his present condition. He had not been feeling well for some time aad suspecting that the trouble camo from his kidneys, which he knew were not any too strong, he determined to try a kidney medicine. Dodd's Kidfcey Pill3 were highly recommended and Mr. Nelson began a treatment of them. He was rewarded by a complete restoration to vigorous good health. He says: "I used six boxes of Dodd's Kidney. Pills and they have helped me a great deal. I feel like another man and can recommend. Dodd's Kidney Pills very highly.:' arrs, Mitchell Is Dead.

Jack'fl hand trembled as he touched tho halfrbowed and .supplicating sentinel that in alk these decades, while the world was moving on, making wonderful history, had remained here In the dense jungle, guarding well the secret.pt those strange people of Aztec times, j * " Jack estimated the value of the statue at some thousands of pounds in London, even at the present depreciated pTice of silver. But they were after higher game, and could well afford to scornfully cast this base bullion aside. It was not long before the descending pick struck metal, and presently Jack, ahovel in hand, had cleared a blab that had a dull lustre not unlike bronze. Barrajo danced what, in another quarter of the world, might have been termed an Irish jig or a Scottish hornpipe. u Por Dios! It is just as the document relates. The old Indian did not deceive meT~C6me, TTft the trap with me, Senor Jack. See, stone steps lead down to the ruins of the old Aztec temple. Oh! I tell you, my president we are the luckiest men on-the-face~ot the earth, this night, since we have but to stretch out our hands to clutch fortune" The Invitation to descend, given by Barrajo, as the two fortune hunters surveyed the ancient stone steps leading to some mysterious subterranean depository of the Montezumas was a most welcome sound to Overton. They had come upon the expedition fully prepared for all emergencies, and the gloomy depths of the yawning pit below had no terrors for such brave hearts, so, taking pick and spade, they began to descend. At the bottom of the stairway they came to a long slab, forming a lintel over the top of a door. Upon digging the doorway was uncovered and was found to be blocked by a huge metate or native millstone. Carved across its entire surface were inscriptions: in the hieroglyphics of a civilized race. As soon as the doorway had been cut through the two adventurous treasure hunters entered the chamber of the temple-tomb. Mural paintings, representing female figures draped in shrouds and in attitudes of prayer, were on the walls. Niches In the crypt contained a number of skulls. and other bones comprising parts of skeletons were scattered about. These were all painted a bright red. Red. it may be remarked/\vas the mourning color of the Aztecs. There were numbers of idols in tho cave, doubtless looked upon as exceedingly chaste in these olden times, but their supreme ugliness gave Jack a rude shock when his artistic eye first fell upon them. However their faults, while many from this point of view, could be readily condoned when the fact was taken into consideration that each and every one of the little monsters seemed to have been fashioned from crude metal, and even Overton's inexperienced eye was able to tell that it was gold unalloyed. This was glorious—stilt, Tt"^vas~only a beginning. With trembling fingers they picked up many of the less weighty images and vases. By degrees the two men managed to recover their wits and calm down, when they set about a rough estimate of the value of their find. Overton was fain to agree with the general when the latter exultantly exclaimed that in all probability never before in the history of the world, from the days of King Solomon down to the present time, had such a vast treasure been heaped up in one pile. It was like a dream—Overton in his wildest moods, when fancy ran away with reason, had never imagined so marveieos a thing. Finally Barrajo said: "Remember our sacred compact, Senor Jack—an equal division if we both live; should misfortune overtake us while we are in the a c t of removing the treasure, the one who survives\ls entitled to all. after he has settled a few bequests we have *taken the pains to write jointly. Is this act understood?'* "It is In the bond general; and may heaven deal with me as I deal with you." They solemnly shook hands as If to again ratify the bargain. Barrajo and Jack had as yet no suspicion that they were followed from San Juan, and, eager to begin operations, the two comrades had each seized upon several images that were most handy and began to lug the unresisting captives- toward the exit. Barrajo ascended the steps first and Jack handed up the booty, raising the temple Images one by' one, while the general piled them outside on the grass beside the overthrown silver sentry. Jack had handed up the last of their burden, and, still gasping for breath, crawled up the steps himself, anxious to again breathe the pure atmosphere without, after having his eyes and nose and mouth clogged with the fine dust of ages. Just as he reached the top a hand clutched his shoulder, and Barrajo's husky voice whispered into his ear: "Hush! Do not move—caramba! I could swear I saw a figure flit through yonder stretch of bright moonlight" "Ah! that means " "We have been followed." "In spite of our great caution." Barrajo muttered a few pet phrases as though in this opening of the safe- -ty- valve-he—eeuM allow the surplus steam to escape. "There are some very sly dogs in this world, senor, and we have our share of them in San Jose. Yes, despite the care exercised by one whose long experience made him capable of doing everything possible to throw pursuers off the track, we have been followed." "There can be no doubt of their intentions," said Overton between his 9* teeth, as he allowed a hand to steal toward his weapons, for the Anglo- Saxon spirit was aroused within him. "None at all. They want this treasure, and if we hope to win we must fight for it," came the stern reply. BOOK TWO The Modem Argonaut*. CHAPTER XIII. Dearly Won. Evidences that the general had spoken the truth multiplied quickly, for presently they heard Bignals. and even caught a glimpse of dark figures flitting from tree to tree. Perhaps it was the first time on record where white men made a rude breastworks of gold, but lying behind the heap of gold images and vases tnat Barrajo had deposited upon the ground they awaited an opportunity to cut loose among the persistent shadows that had followed from San Juan. It was Barrajo who found the first chance, and right well the old soldier improved it. At least one thing was settled—the imprecations in Spanish that followed the report of his gun announced beyond any possibility of mistake that these dusky, flitting shadows were not tho spirits of ancient Aztec priests, but genuine, bonafide adventurers of to-day. If more evidence were needed they had it when spiteful flashes of fire punctured the dark spaces under the trees, and the rattle of firearms followed. Some of the bullets whistled over their heads, while others flattened against the novel defense behind which they crouched. "Five!" muttered the old soldier when tho scattering volley had come to an end without doing any damage. —They had qu4te a little circus for some time, firing back and forth, guided more by the flash of each other's guns than anything else. When the enemy began to flank their position Jack knew the ca.se was growing desperate, and would require heroic treatment if they hoped to come out at the large end of the horn. "We must move on their woiks, general," be declared, when a leaden messenger had sung past his ear, coming from the rear. They crawled away, keeping almost flat upon the ground and without interruption reached the spot for which they aimed, where at the proper time they could pour a hot and deadly fire into the ranks of the San Jose adventurers as they rushed forward in closing upon their silenced enemies. All this happened just as Barrajo, who knew the habits and temperaments of his fellows full well, expected, and the fusilade which they opened on tho advancing figures sent at least a couple of them to grass before they realized the clever nature of the stratagem played upon them. The fight, being again open, raged along the whole line. It was evidently destined to be a little war of extermination—one side or the other must be wiped out. After further desultory firing Jack heard the awful thud which a bullet makes when it strikes a human being, and caught the husky maledictions that burned hiB comrade's tongue. "You are hit," he exclaimed in dismay. "Yes, and badly, too, I fear. Try to stanch the blood, hombre, as best you can. Your hand trembles—come, bear up; it Is but the luck of a soldier, after all. Many years I have mocked the Grim Reaper and laughed i n his face —perhaps he has me now. At least, hombre, I shall be avenged. See; our three remaining enemies have come together yonder, by the gnarled o a k " you can count the flashes when they fire. It is a glorious opportunity t o try the virtues of these experimental bombs, one that may never come again. The secret must die with them.'* Jack had just turned his head moodily aside, ostensibly to look for enemies in their rear, but In reality to hide his emotion, when a sudden shout electrified him. As he faced about he was horrified to see his sorely wounded companion upon his feet and hurrying with uncertain steps' toward the spot from whence the last volley had come. It was too late to stay him, for already the mad general was a quarter of the way over the intervening ground. His cry had drawn out sj&ts from those in ambush—Jack could see the fire run the gamut of three guns, and at that distance ho tremthd for his devoted comrade. As he turned to look for Barrajo he discovered that his worst fears were realized-^-the old hero had gone down, struckragarirlay a merciless ball. — Then a sudden fury seemed to possess Overton—-such a feeling as may make a giant of a stripling—it was the desire for revenge burning in his soul and tingling to the very tips of his fingers, under the impulse of which a man may do the most—astoundtegfeats, such as might be worthy of old time heroes. In that second of time he had ^sworn- a.n oath t o s l a y t h o s e three desperate adventurers or die himself In the attempt. He had even scrambled to his feet with this stern re&olution on his mind, and was in the act of rushing forward to hurl himself upon the ambushed foe, when he discovered that Barrajo was once more rising. Jack had a pretty good idea as to what was upon Barrajo's mind, so that he was not at all surprised to tee him draw back "his arm and make ready to cast a projectile. Overton unconsciously came to a halt and held his breath when he discovered that the general had actually made the cast. He had no time to speculate upon the result. There was a blinding flash just in the spot where the trio of adventurers had concealed themselves, a most terrific concussion that actually threw Jack from his feet, and then a,deathly silence. Overton, only a trifle bruised, managed to gain his feet and rush forward. Where the San Jose treasure seekers had Iain hidden the utmost havoc had been done, and Jack knew no human being could have been within twenty feet tof that exploding bomb and escaped with his life. It was a< most terrible and overwhelming catastrophe. He remembered poor, brave Barrajo, hero of a score of battles, such as they are in Central American republics. It was no trouble finding him. The general had half raised himself to a sitting position, and was eagerly looking toward the scene of desolation his terrible little hand grenade had wrought. "It is—victory?" he gasped, as Jack bent over him. and there was a tremor to the old soldier's weak voice that told of the ruling passion strong in death. "I have no reason to believe a single man of their number has been left alive," Jack returned. The old warrior feebly waved his arm above his head—Jack wou'd never as long as he lived forget the tragic scene under the whispering gnarled onk. "Then 1 am satisfied. It is sweet for a soldier to die when the field has been won." "But is it so bad as that, my poor friend? May I not be able to save you? I have some rude knowledge of surgery, and Heaven knows I could spare no effort in your behalf." There was real agony in Jack's voice and the dying man was deeply affected by it. "Useless. Senor Jack: quite useless. My sands of life are almost run: my race at its end. I have been wounded many times, but never like this. In less than ten minutes I shall be dead; believe me." "Good heavens! you give me pain, Barrajo. If it were my brother I could not feel more unconsolable." "Ah. I believe you, senor. We.have been good comrades, we two: is it not so?" And we made a sacred compact: you remember it, Senor Jack?" woakl "Yes." (To be continued.) • • » rresbyterlaas In England.

We clip the following from the Agricultural College Record which we think will prove interesting to our farmer friends. The experiment was made by M. B. Stevens who gave the following detailed description before the club at the college on "The Germination of Corn." His aim in the experiment was to answer four questions: 1. Is there any difference in the germinating power of corn from the butts, middles and tips of ears? 2. Does the weight of a kernel have any influence on its germinating power or the future growth of the plant? 3. Will crib stored corn kept from the weather germinate as well as selected corn kept from freezing? i With the crib corn will kernels from hard nubbins germinate as welT aiTf rom the large ears and will growth of stalk and yield of corn be as great from the nubbins? He used the White Dent variety in his endeavors to work out answers to the four questions just stated. To preserve heat and uniformity of moislure,„ he placed a pie tin bottom up in a milk pan containing water, spread a cheese cloth over the pie tin allowing it to dip into the water and placed the corn upon this. Over the corn was spread a second cloth kep wet by the same methods, and STATE FARMERfi INSTITUTE. the whole covered with a milk pan to prevent evaporation. The results which he arrived at were as follows: 1. In every case the middles germinated the most rapidly. 2. In every case as high or a higher per cent of the middles germinated. 3. The butt kernels, in every case, germinated the most slowly and they were lowest in per cent of germination. In nearly all cases they were the heaviest kernels. 4. Tip kernels made a longer and more spindling growth while those from the middles were the strongest with the best color. 5. The corn selected from the crib germinated, practically, as well as the carefully cared for corn tnat was selected from the field and kept from freezing, which seems to indicate that freezing does not lessen the germinating power of dry corn. Our farmers never went into winter quarters in better shape financially than the past fall. In the spring the first comer is the strawberry then the raspberry, the gooseberry, pea, bean, pumpkins, etc. so that the farmer has an income the year round. The factory runs about five months in the year. Not-with-standing the drouth of last Beason our farmers and business men are well pleased with the venture, so much so that steps are being taken already to double the capacity of the factory. The labor in the factory pays the laborer from 60 cents to $3 per day. Moch of the work is done by girls and they are pleased to be able to earn good wages. The Question of a canning factory has been advocated in the vicinity of Howell and W. H . S. Wood was called upon to lead in the discussion. If we want a canning factory in Howell we have got to have 100 farmers say I will take $100 in stock. If you want anything to come to Howell in the factory line you have got to push for it—the thing will not spring up without some assistance. The question is do you want it? Mr. Hilton said that the farmers made 150 to$75 dollars per acre and all within three or four months use of the land. The best pea for canning purposes is the Alaska.. The peas are not picked but mown and put through a thresher at the factory. The plant at Fremont cost $10,000. Mr. Schroder thought it easy enough to build a factory and another thing to run it and make a success of it. The citizens in town cannot do it alone, it requires the united efforts of farmer and townsmen. Mr. Hilton—It would require about $15,000 or $20,000 to run the business the first season. Last year we cleared 50 per cent and had $2,000 left in the treasurery. What protection should we give to the best product of the home aud farm? A paper by Mrs. E. E . Pierce was a plea for the suppression of the liquor traffic wit! its blighting curse. She pointed out where the blame for the traffic lay and gave plenty of evidence to show that with the saloon out of the county, the grain used in its production turned into its legitimate channels, the farmer and county at large would be better financially, morally and spiritually. try the time is coming, nay, is here when more attention must be given to the od ucation. It is not fair that we do not pay as much attention to the district school as we did when the school was composed of 40 or 50 instead of 10 or 12 as the case »s now. Thousands of dollars to-day goes into the city and village schools in tuitions which could and should be expended in the district school and that school made into a high school by hiring good teachers. I think that one trouble is we hire teachers who are too young—they lack judgement. Again the city high school teacher is not always a success as they lack in government and tact. The man who succeeds as a farmer or any other vocation is to do business in a business manner. The farmer should keap a set of books just as much as any other business man and keep an inventory of tools, stock, farm etc., and keep track of everything and balance up at the end of the year just the same—he must pay attention to his own business and let other farmers and people attend to theirs. If the farmer cannot keep his books let his wife do it. The farmer of to-day can only succeed as ire prepares himsetf-for t h e work—bystudy etc. The sciences must he understood so that the farmer can mix his brain and brawn with the soil—must know how to keep up the soil fertility. The farmer must know how best to fertilize his zie of the MAC says, "tillage is manure." One trouble is that farmers read too much of everything else before he reads his agri- -cult-u p a l - p a p e r s - . I t is wrong when the farmer sons and daughters have to go to college to learn their first lessons in botany I think that much that is beneficial to the farmers should be taught in the district school. That in regard to moths, seeds, smut, etc.. and should be taught in these schools and it would not be leng before the parents would be interested in such matters and the next study would be as how to best get rid of such thiugs as are harmful to crops. Now we have some idea of what the farmer ought to know the next thing is how best to get that knowledge. If we lose sight of the money problem for a time and think only of the interesting part. The Farm home reading circle is a good way to get this knowledge and every farm- The eternal fitness of things, Col. L. H. Ives—I am glad that this institute has turned its attention from the Almighty dollar to something different. Time was when the calf and pigs could be housed or cared for in any shape and nothing thought of it, but things are different. I believe in artificial and landscape beauty and by this I do not mean a large outlay of money but just in placing things where they belong and will call the attention to the passerby at any time. The value of my farm and your farm is increased by its surroundings not only in itself but in the beauty of the other farms and buildings adjoining. He thought a great improvement could be made in the cleaning up the road-way —not the road-bed but the sides of the road. It would add very much to the eternal fitness of things to clean up the roads, out a few trees and make it a picture. Such things have a refining influence on the homes in the vicinity of the improvements. This was followed by a recitation by little Viola Howe which was excellent. A question WHS asked Mr. Gilbert, what would be the results if RUgar beets wilt? They would be richer in sugar but would not weigh so much. Would not advise letting them wilt. A question given to Colon C. Lillie, Has the beet industry been of any great financial benefit to the farmers of Michigan thus far? I think that it has been. I find in every community where they raise beets, all are satisfied with results. The farmer who raised potatoes this year made as much as the one who raised beets but he is not sure of such a price for potatoes every year as he if in the beet industry. The farmer who can secure the tonage per acre will always make a good thing. A question for Mr. Ives—Would you advise setting trees along the road where the telephone line would destroy them? Yes, but don't let the companies injure the trees—they have no right. EVKNING SESSION: This session was opened by siuging by the anuTence aruTthefoliowIhg committees were oppointed; KESOIXTIOX. F. W.

Strong. In the first place yours is a noble calling. When God made man he placed him in the garden and gave him dominion over everything. It is an unfortunate fact that many young men and women are looking upon the work of the farm as drudgery. This should not be so, the name mossback and hayseed etc. should not be given to the man who works on the farm. Many of the best and brightest men and women of our nation and state come from the farm. In the business world men have no time but for business. Not so.the county. Here the farmer has time for the enlightenment of the mind. If I can only imj press upon the young people of both sexes the grand opportunities you have in your present high calling. I have done much to answer the question. SATURDAY MORNING: Opened by singing America; and invocation by Rev. Strong. Col. Ives g've a short talk while waiting for the speaker. He spoke of the best thing to raise on the farm was a crop of good boys and girls. We give much attention to raising thoroughbred stock and he goes into the beet business, nay, he can put on more stock than ever before and for dairy purposes no better feed can be found than beet tops and pulp. The pulp is worth much for feed even though it costs $2 or $3 per ton. I raised 10 acres last year 5 on clover sod and 5 on corn stubble. I am going to try and make a success of sugar beets on clover sod. My beets paid me this year $20 per acre and I did not have a good crop. I think the seed did not all germinate owing to too deep cultivation and planting I only got about 12 ton per acre and think I could have have easily got 18 or 20 if seed had all grown, you cannot afford to let weeds grow on a beet field or let a crust form—keep it cultivated. The cow pea by Chas. P . Reed. The cow pea is a native of China and Japan. It was introduced in America about 400 years ago. It takes the place there of the alfalfa clover of the west and the red clover of the north, as a forage it is equal to clover hay. They are very sensative to cold and wet must not be planted in J u n e . Should be sown in drills so that they can be cultivated once or twice to get the best results. The bean puller is the best means of harvesting the cow pe«Talthough---tHey. may be mown. Some farmers sow cow peas among corn thinking it increases the strength of the silage. Small quantities of cow pea seed may be kept from the insect by putting in road dust—large quantities will feel the effects of that insect as well as other peas. R. C. Reed thought that the cow pea was one that should be tried quite extensivelyin this vicinity. Do not believe the cow pea will succeed as well in corn as it will alone as it is a sun plant. Thought that as a fertilizer it should have a thorough trial. Eugene Lansen thought the soy bean was better than the cow pea—had tried the pea and was disgusted. Shubert Wells, would the cow pea or soy bean be good feed as dry feed after threshing? Colon Lillie, Nothing better. As a fertilizer what time to sow and how much seed? Sow the same as for any other thing and plow them under. If you should msss a'crop of wheat or oats, fit again^ and sow cow pea. Mr. Sexton tried the cow pea—planted in rows, They grew 2j feet high.

' Men's thumb rings are* no rarities tc collectors. Some of the Roman specimens must have been cumbrous wearr one in the Montfaucon collection bearing the bust of Trajan's consort, PHotina, measuring over three inches across. Mediaeval churchmen of high degree did not allow "the largest, firsl and shortest of the fingers" to go unadorned. A massive gold ring was found upon the thumb of the supposed skeleton of Hilary, bishop of Chichester, who, died in 1109, and the recumbent efligy of Bishop Oldham in Exeter cathedral is remarkable for the pressed together thumbs being inclosed by a single ring. When the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket was robbed.of its treasures, the famous archbishop's thumb ring, given to him by the king of France, graced with a ruby the size of a hen's egg, found its way to the thumb of blufl King Hal, and as the humor of the king is alwa3rs voted just the thing we may be sure the royal hand was not the only one so decked at court. Mayors and aldermen imitated their betters. "When I was about thy years, Hal," says the fat knight, "1 was uot an eagle's talon in the waist. I could have crept into an alderman's thumb ring." —Ciiambers' "Journal, rejoined Miss Cutting. "Accounts for what?" queried the youth.

She listened tc the harsh creaking of the corn, and. hex face grew set. "Itick had no right to bring me tc such a place," she thought, forgetting how willingly she had come. A man drove into the yard, tied his horse to the wheel of the wagon anc came toward the house. "Don't yoi knew me, Kate?" he called loudly, to be heard above the wind. "Why, George Gilbert, is it you?' she exclaimed. She held out her hand "How did you ever happen to get here! Come right into the house. Itick's gone to town for coal." The man followed her into the mair room of the house, which served the double purpose of parlor and kitchen In one corner stood the stove; above it a~lcmg-«heHr covered with neatly seal loped papers, on which stood the lamps and tinware. A safe with perforated tin doors was in another corner.

She watched it blaze and turn to a white ghost, which i she crumbled with the poker. When the house had taken on Its ordinary look, she put the teakettle ou the stove and set the table for supper.

Solo, Malon Pearce. The County Unit School System, do we want it? 11. E. Reed, I was taught to believe that the school system of "Michigan" was perfect, but as I have studied, and what I have seen has changed my mind somewhat. The system of grading the schools has been a failure; also the unit system. There isjuat as much confusion -m-the graded schools a» ever. There are over 1000 schools in Michigan with an average of eight. Mr. Reed has had a large experience theTurnl schools of tins trotmtyy but what he said was not based upon personal observation. This system was first instituted in New York between two school districts that had not enough scholars in each to maintain the school in a private way. At last the legislature was asked to grant money for carrying the children, which it did. From this it has been taken bv a few other states until at preseut there are three or four states where the privilege is granted. H e thought it worked well where the conditions were favorable. There is at present three propositions upon which the lerfding educators of the state are working but the township unit is not being urged and is virtually dead. Thought some change needed to be made because the schools are not doing what they used to do., Frank R. Crandall followed in this conference. He also said something ought to be done in regard to the rural schools; did not know just what is best. He reail an article written by one of the projectors of the unit system, which proved conclusively that the plan has not been abandoned and that the movement,is not dead, but that it is being pushed by the projectors with all the force and cunning which can be brought to bear. This article showed that it was much cheaper to send a rig around to get the children and maintain the township unit school than is the present method. The carriers were required to give bonds of $200 each, to be men of good moral character, to keep the children orderly, to see that no improper language was used, to furnish teams, enclosed rigs, robes, etc., to make the children comfortable. They were obliged to have the children at the school house at 8:4^ in the morning and be on hand at 3 :15 in ttie afternoon to take | thorn home and see<that they reached home in safety. For this work they were to receive wages varying from <>8 cents to $1.25 j per day. The article claimed that where ] the public schools close to oar homes. Little Leola and Helen Weller rendered a nice duet and and the committee* on resolutions and nominations reported*. The following officers were elected. Pres., Frank Backus Sec. and Treas., Sam Yerlcee Vice. Pre*., as last year Our Homes, by Mrs. T. S. Curdy was a very practical, • entertaining and instruct; paper. It claims that our homes ought to be the dearidt place to us. A room good enough for the family was good enough for company. She would let in the sunlight and cheer and make it as attractive as posaiWe by heart sympathy. Next came a lecture by Prof. Davis of the U. of. M. on forestry, which was to some instructive and profitable but not to the majority of the people. He entered into a hand to hand conyersatiou with several concerning wind breaks, lawn trees, etc. He advocated planting abou 400 pine trees to the acre and it would mature in about 30 years so that the crop could be harvested by the planter provided the conditions were favorable. In the afternoon of the 22nd the M. E . church where the womans section was held and the Court House where the regular session was held both were crowded to their utmost capacity, and many turned away. It was estimated that fully 1,000 persons were in attendance at the two sections". This ended one of the largest and most successful institutes ever held jn this part of the.state. One of the state speakers expressed litniselfasi greatly "surprised" a t t h e throng of people who were in constant attendance. Chance For HeruUm, Adorer (anxiously)—What did yonr father any?

Reed followed and thought tins the most alarming proposition that ever came before the commonwealth of Michigan because it meant a revolution of one of the institutions and principled/that has been the bulwork of the country. The people of Michigan have not asked for this, that it was being crowded upon the state by a ' few individuals who wished to do something regardless whether it would be beneficial or not. That this was another mani-! festntion of the disposition that seems to ' possess eveiy otliein I as soon as he gels a' chance at the public crib. Taxes have in- ' creased in the last score of years at an ! alarming rale. This would be another ' factor for the incsease of taxes for the ' coming years, l i e also said that it was the height of folly to think that you could get men of good moral character who would furnish teams etc., who would work for 08 cents or Si .2") per day when the wages for a man at the present times are from $20 to 5>2-l per month. The people of Michigan are yet competent to do some of their own thinking and to tell th« officials what we want instead of their thinking for and telling us what we MUST have. Mrs. R. R. Smith said in the language of Carleton,''Them's my sentimonts exactly." That we need to give our officials to understand that they are there to do our bidding and are not there to revolutnnize and change principles which have been our strength and safeguards. This is a continuance of the disposition to take from tbe people their institutions and a continuation of the desire for centralis ition of power and influence.

What you do tor them as children you must do quickly or never do at all. My hearers, if we seevre the present and everlasting welfare of our children, most other things belonging to us are of but ltttle comparative importance. Alexander the Great allowed his soldiers to take their families with them to war, and he accounted for the bravery of his men by the fact that many of them were born in camp and were used to warlike scenes from the start Would God that all the children of our day might be born Into the army of the Lord! But we all need the protecting wing. If you had known when you entered upon manhood or womanhood what was ahead of you, wouid you have dared to undertake life? You are not at forty or fifty or sixty or seventy or eighty years of age where you Jthousht you would be. I do not know any one except myself to whom life has been a happy surprise. I never expected anything, and so when anything came in the shape of human favor or comfortable position or widening field of work It was to me a surp r i s e . I was told in the theological seminary by some of my fellow stu-, dents that I never would get anybody , to hear me preach unless I changed my style, so that when I found that some people did come to hear me it was a happy surprise. But most people, according to their own statement, have found life a disappointment. Indeed, we all need shelter from its tempests. The wings of my text suggest warmth, and that is what most folks want The fact is that this is a cold world whether you take it literally or figuratively. We have a big fireplace called the sun, and it has a very hot fire, and the stokers keep the coals well stirred up, but much of tne year we cannot get near enough to the fireplace to get warmed. Tne world's extremities are cold all the time. Forget not that it istolder at the south pole than at the north pole, and that the arctic is not so destructive as the antarctic. Once in a while the arctic will let explorers come back, but the antarctic hardly ever. When at the south pole a ship sails in, the door of ice is almost sure to be shut against its return. So life to many millions of people at the south and many millions of people at the north is a prolonged shiver. But wuen I say that this is a cold world I chiefly mean figuratively. « * ! (OqtHrrtffbt, 1902, Louts Klopsch, >*• Y.) { Washington, March 2.-A. familiar iUuBtwiion from the barnyard is employed in this discourse by Dr. Talt mage to show the comfort and protection that heaven affords to all trustin* souls. The text is Matthew xxiii., <87, "Even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings and ye would moC' Jerusalem was Jn sight as Christ came to the crest of Mount Olivet, a j height of 706 feet Spread out before this eyes are the pomp, the wealth, the wickedness and the coming destruction of Jerusalem, and he bursts into tears at the thought of the obduracy of a {place-that he would gladly have saved, and apostrophises, saying. J*Q Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how often would 1 have (gathered thy children together, even as 'a hen gathereth her chickens under her |wings,,and ye wouid not!" i Why did Christ select hen and chickens as a simile? Next to the appositeness of the comparison, I think it was to help all public teachers in the matter of illustration to get down off their stilts and use comparisons that all can understand. The plainest bird on earth is the barnyard fowl. Musicians have written out in musical scale the song of lark and robin redbreast and nightingale, yet the hen of my text hath nothing that could be taken for a song, jbut only cluck and cackle. Yet Christ Jin the text uttered while looking upon [doomed Jerusalem declares that what he had wished for that city was like •what the hen does for her chickens. There is not much poetry about this winged creature of God mentioned in • my text but she is more practical and 'more motherly and more suggestive of . good things than many that fly higher and wear brighter colors. I am in warm sympathy with the unpretentious old-fashioned hen because, like most of us, she has to scratch for a living. She knows at the start the lesson which most people of good sense are slow td learn—that the gaining of a livelihood implies work and that successes do not lie on the surface, but are to be upturned by positive and continuous effort The reason that society and the church and the world are so full of failures, so full of loafers, so full of deadbeats, is because people are not wise enough to take the lesson which* the hen would teach them, that if they would find for themselves and •ffor those dependent upon them anything worth having they must scratch (for it, Solomon said, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard."" I say, Go to the hen, thou sluggard. In the Old Testament 'God compares himself to an eagle stir- '.ring up her nest, and in the New Testament the Holy Spirit is compared to a ^descending dove, but Christ in a ser- j fmon that began with cutting sarcasm for hypocrites and ends with the paroxi s m of pathos in the text, compares himself to a hen. J One day in the country we saw sudden consternation in the behavior of old Dominick. Why the hen should be so disturbed we could not understand. We could see nothing on the ground that could terrorize, and we could see nothing in the air to ruffle the feathers of the hen, but the loud, wild, affrighted cluck which brought all her brood at full run under her feathers made us look again around and above us, when we saw that high up and far away there was a rapacious bird wheeling round and round and down and down, and, not seeing us as we stood in the shadow, it came nearer and lower until we saw its beak was curved from base to tip and it had two flames of fire for eyes, and it was a hawk. But all the chickens were under old DominlcK's wings, and either ithe bird of prey caught a glimpse of us, 'or not able to find the brood, huddled under wing, darted back into the clouds. So Christ calls with great earnestness to all the young. Why, what is the matter? it is bright sunlight, and there can be no danger. Health is theirs. A good home is theirs. Plenty of food is theirs. Prospect of long life Is theirs. But Christ continues to call, calls with more emphasis and urges haste and says not a second ought to be lost. Oh, do tell us what is the matter. Ah, now I see; there are hawks of temptation In the air, there are vultures wheeling for their prey, there are beaks of death ready to plunge, there are claws of allurement ready to clutch. Now I see the peril. Now 1 understand the urgency. Now Tsee the only safety. Would that Christ might this day take our sons and daughters into his shelter "a* a hen gathereth her chickens, under her wing." The fact is- that the most of them will never mind the shelter unless while they are chickens, rt is a simple matter of inexorable statistics that ^rnost of those who do not come to Christ in youth never come at. all. /Father*, mothers, older brothers and If you want to know what is the meaning of the ordinary term of receiving the "cold shoulder," get out of money and try to *x>rrow. The conversation may have been almost tropical for luxuriance of thought and speech, but suggest your necessities and see the thermometer drop to 50 degrees below zero, and in that which till a moment before had i>een a warm room. Take what is an unpopular position on some public question and see your friends fly as chaff before a windmill, AS far as myself is concerned, I have no word of complaint, but I look off day by day and see communities freezing out men and women of whom the world is not worthy. Now it takes after one and now after another. It becomes popular to depreciate and defame and execrate and lie about some people. This is the best world I ever got into, but it is the meanest world that some people ever got into. The worst thing that ever happened to them was their cradle, and the best thing that will ever happen to them will be their grave. But notice that some one must take the storm for the chickens. Ah. the hen takes the storm. I have watched her under the pelting rain. I have seen her in the pinching frosts. Almost frozen to death or almost strangled in the waters, and what a fight she makes for the young under wing if a dog or a hawk.or a man come too near! And so the brooding Christ takes the storm for us. What flood of anguish and tears that did not dash upon his holy soul? What beak of torture did not pierce his vitals? What barking Cerberus of hell was not let out upon him from the kennels? Yes, the hen takes the storm for the chickens, and Christ takes the storm for us. The wings under which we come for spiritual safety are blood spattered wings, are night shadowed wings, are tempest torn wings. In the Isle of Wight I saw the grave of Princess Elizabeth, who died while a prisoner at Carisbrooke castle, her finger on an open Bible, and pointing to the words, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Oh, come under the wings! But now the summer day is almost past, and the shadows of the house and barn and wagon shed have lengthened. The farmer, with scythe or hoe on shoulder, is returning from the fields. The oxen are unyoked. The horses -are crunching the oats at the full bin. The air is bewitched of honeysuckle and Wild brier. The milkman, pail in. hand, is approaching the barnyard. The fowls, keeping early hours* are collecting their young. "Cluck!" "Cluck!" "Cluck!" And soon all the eyas of thai feathered nursery are closed. Yhi bachelors of the winged tribe* have as oended to their perch, but tM$ens, is a motherhood divinely appointed, t*k« all the risk of^a sluml^.e* the frou5^a and all night long tn^Wngs will stfitt outspread, and the l H r o f M will not' utter a sound. Thus at^nbdown, lovingly, safely, completely, the hen broods her young. So, if we are the Lord's, the evening of our life will come. The heats of the day will have passed. There will he shadows, and we cannot see as far. The work of life will be about ended. The hawks of temptation that hovered in the sky will have gone to the woods and folded their wings. Sweet silences will come. The air will be redolent with the breath of whole arbors of promises sweeter than jasmine or evening primrose. The air may be a little chill, but Christ will call us, and we will know the voice and heed the call, and we will come under the wings for the night, the strong wings, the soft wings, the warm wings, and without fear and in full sense of safety, and then we will rest from sundown to sunrise, "as a hen gathereth her chickens under her -VtegJi _ Dear me! How many souls the Locd hath thus brooded! Mothers, after watching over sick cradles and then watching afterward over wayward sons and daughters, at iast themselves taken care of by a motherly God. Business menr after-a-IIfetfme struggling with the uncertainties of money markets and the change of tariffs and the underselling of men who because of their dishonesties can afford to undersell, and years of disappointment and struggle, at last under wings where nothing can perturb them any more than can a bird of prey which is ten miles off disturb a chick at midnight brooded in a barnyard. My text has its strongest application for people who were oorn in the country, wherever you may now live, and that is the majority of you. You cannot hear my text without having all the rustic scenes of the old farmhouse come back to you. Good old days they were. You knew nothing much of the world, for you had not seen the world. By law of association you cannot recall the brooding hen ana her chickens without seeing also the barn and the haymow and the wagon shed and the house and the room where you played and the fireside with the Dig backlog before wnich you sat and the neighbors and the burial and the wedding and the deep snowbanks and hear the village bell that called you to worship and seeing the horses which, after pulling you to the church, stood around the old clapboard meeting house, and those who sat at either end of the church pew and, indeed, all the scenes of your first fourteen years, and you think oi what you were then, and of what you are now, and all these thoughts are aroused by the sight of the old hencoop. Some of you had better go back and start again. In thought return to that place and hear the cluck and see the outspread feathers and come under the wing and make the Lord your portion and shelter and warmth, preparing for everything that may come and so avoid being classed among those described by the closing words of my text, "as a hen gathereth her chickens under uer wings, and ye would not" Ah, that throws the responsibility upon us. "Ye would not." Alas, for the "would nots!" If the wandering broods of the farm heed not their mother's call and risk the hawk and dare the freshet and expose themselves to the frost and storm, surely their calamities are not the mother's fault. "Ye would not!" God would, but how many would not? When a good man asked a young woman who had abandoned her home and who was deploring her wretchedness why she did not return, the reply was: "I dare not go home. My father is so provoked he would not receive me home." "Then," said tne Christian man, "I will test this." And so hV wrote to the father, and the reply came back, and in a letter marked outside "Immediate" and inside saying. "Let her come at once; all is forgiven."

Under the tempest the vessel was unmanageable, and the only hope was that the tide would change before she struck the rocks and went down, and so the captain stood on the deck, watch in hand. Captain and crew and passengers were pallid with terror. Taking another look at his watch and another look at the sea, he shouted: "Thank God, we are saved! The tide has turned! One minute more and we Would have struck the rocks!" Some of yon who have been a long while drifting in the tempest of sin and sorrow and have been making for the breakers.

The adoption of the resolution of censure probably closes the incident, so far a s Mr. MeLaurln is concerned. Immediately after t h e senate con- •ened 'Mr. Burrows, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, t o which the McLaurln-TlHinau controversy had been referred, reported the reautathja of censure, fnirued b y a maj o r i t y # f t h e committee. Accompanying the resolution w a s a report Betting out the conclusions of the majority. A brief statement w a s presented b y Senatow Bailey, ^lac^burn, PettUH, Foster »jia Dubois, Democratic members of the committee, dissenting from some e€ the conclusions of the majority. They agreed, " h o w e w ; to the resolntjon off-ered. A minority report w a s presented fry Senators McComas, Beverid^efrand Prit;ehitrd„ Eepublicans, who ma^rtaiued that t h e adoption of a resolution of censure -was not sufflcient pnniPhnvent. Practically there w a s no debate on the resolution, although Mr. GalUnger and Mr. Piatt (Oonn.) made it evident by brief ^tat^mentn that the resolution w a s not quite satisfactory to them. The resolution w a s adopted, 5 2 to 12. T h e order adjudging the two senators in contempt is no longer in force. When Mr. Tillman's namo w a s called, h e added a n e w sensatieti to thft .proceedings by rising and saying with ,ill-concealed emotion: "Among gentlemen, an apology for an offense committed under heat of blood, Is usually considered sufficient." The andftors caught their breath a s Mr. Tillman thus entered b i s protest against the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Tillman's words Induced Mr. Kean (S, J.) to rise at the conclusion of the roll call, and s a y : "Having heard the. senator from South Carolina again insult the senate, 1 change my vote from aye to no." At the request of Mr. Burrows, the statement of Mr. Tillman w a s read by the clerk. Instantly the South Carolina senator disclaimed any intention of offense to the senate, and said that if It w a s so considered he would withdraw it. T h e chair (Mr. Frye) said that by unanimous consent it might be withdrawn, but Mr. Dietrich (Neb.) ol>- jected. The incident w a s elosed without further comment. The senate adopted the conference report on the permunent census bill and then began consideration of the irrigation measure. Mr. Clark <Wyo.) delivered a^oarefully prepared speech in its support. For a time later the senate considered the omnibus claims hill, but a*id not dispose of it. T h e r e n n t t y l T a n t a F l o o d .

When a young man of one and twenty, Mr. Clark Russell, the well known novelist, was present at the trial of a dozen seamen who had mutinied because the food provided for them was of the most abominable description. He was disgusted to find that the mutineers were actually sentenced to several weeks' imprisonment for refusing to be poisoned with the provisions dealt out to them. From this sprang the idea of a story of mutiny caused entirely by the shipment of bad food for the crew. The result was "The Wreck of the Grosvenor," by which Mr. Clark Russell made his name.

[Oristael.] John Oldershaw and bis wife, Margaret, liven on the bank of. the Mississippi fiver. They had everything they* de- 0yed except children. Margaret after waiting years for the advent of a little ttoe fell into one of those perversions of the materneTTnstinct, the iavtebfng of her affection on a dumb hrate. She adopted a puppy which she named Spot It grew up to be an ugly little beast, and John hated ! t Margaret gave it a crib to sleep in, the choicest food, a bath daily, and when John waa xxk present even brushed its teeth. "What do you want to make a child of a dog for?" John would ask snappishly. "I love Spotty dearly/* Margaret would reply. One morning John overheard his wife talking to the dog: "Spotty, dear, I want you to go and bring me a baby. You'll find it semewhere—in the wood perhap6> It will be in a silk handkerchief, tied at the corners. There will be a bit of paper pinned to the handkerchief, giving the baby's <nazne and telling why its mother left it in the wood, poor woman"' "Thafs a likely thing to happen," muttered John. "Take the handkerchief in your teeth*" Mar£sret_went on,JVhere the four corners are tied together and bring the child to me." John Went to Memphis to a foundling asylum and applied for a baby to adopt. There was none to be had whose parentage satisfied,him, for be was somewhat particular in that respect, so he Went back to Margaret disappointed and empty handed, arid Margaret went on making a child of Spetty. Soon after this John was reading in the local newspaper a telegraphic dispatch stating that the river was rising rapidly above and fears were entertained that the levee at several weak points would not stand the pressure. His house stood on ground above the highest flood mark, so he did not fear for his and Margaret's safety, but he dreaded the flood for bis neighbors* sake and the destruction of his own and their property. "John," said his wife, "last night I dreamed tliat Spotty had jrone away and come back wrtb u baby-tied up--in^™ a silk handkerchief." John groaned. "Spotty! Spotty! Come, get your breakfast!" she called. Spot didn't respond, and Margaret went out into the yard to look for him. She called, but without reply. She hunted among the rosebushes and under the magnolia trees, in the barn, the woodhouse, everywhere, but there was no Spot. Then she set all the negroes hunting, but when the sun went down that night there was no sign of the child-dog. The flood proved the highest ever known. The levee burst above the Oldershaws', and the country was covered with water. Margaret wrung her hands and gave up Spot for drowned and pleaded with John to take a boat and go in search of his body. John refused until he saw that bis refusal was downright cruelty. Then he got out the oars, unchained the boat and after taking his wife In with him pulled } away into the wood behind the house. | John Oldershaw felt like a fool, but j he is not the first husband who has acted stupidly and wisely at the same time in pleasing his wife. | They were met by everything that j could float, animate and inanimate. ! Furniture, dwellings, sections of fenc- I ing, barns, were floating about in pro- | fusion. A wee kitten on a board mew- ! ed to them plteously. A lamb o» the {roof of an outhouse bleated. Half I dressed people who had escaped in : boats at midnight were pulling for dry i land. John Oldershaw saw the wreck : about him and remembered that he j was looking for a drowned dog. | "See the little arkr Margaret ex- | claimed. j Whoever has not seen one of those > old cradles, now obsolete—as all cradles are, for the matter of that—made of wood, ono end covered with the same material, cannot understand the exclamation. What Margaret saw was one of these cradles, and, what was more wonderful to relate, she heard a bark, and a dog's nose protruded tibove the gunwale of the cradle-boat about where the slits for handles were, "Ifs Spotty!" cried Margaret in ecstasy. "So it is," said John. "Why doesn't he put his paws on the side and show himself?" said Margaret "He's afraid of upsetting his boat,** said John. John pulled for the cradle and was soon alongside of It Margaret seised the tiny craft, and there, lying on soft bedding, was an Infant When it saw Margaret looking down at i t the child's face broke Into a smile.

CHAPTER XIIL^(Ce*tlK«*4.> "If one falla t h e other takes all, binding himself t o carry out those small favors that are on the list. Senor Jack, my brave friend, everything i s yours, I brought you nower, n o w riches beyond the maddest dream o f any human being on earth. Tour future lies before you. In good time, when i t pleases you, return again t o London, there t o punish and reward. But, amlgo, sometimes when perhaps surrounded by happy scenes, let memory carry you to the lonely grave of your comrade in arms far away under southern skies, and drop a tear to Barrajo, who met a soldier's fate." Jack was affected almost t o tears, so that he could only squeeze the hand he held in his. The presence of t h e Dread Rider upon the White Horse i s always sombre, and never more s o than when by violence he snatches the life of a sturdy soldier upon the field of battle. "One last request. Senor Jack. Promise that you will some day send a force of men hither t o remove my poor bones to the consecrated ground of San Jose cemetery. It will give me satisfaction i n the last minutes of my life." "I swear it," declared Jack stoutly. The general pressed his hand. Me was growing fainter; h i s eyes assumed a far-away stare; again his mind wandered to earlier scenes in his tempestuous life, and he gave orders to his army; called upon the enemy to surrend:r, uttered endearing phrases to some lovely woman, whose face haunted him a t this the closing hour of his career; and then addressed waiting spirits, whom he seemed t o see hovering near. Who dares to say it was only imagination? Then came the death rattle, the rigor that stiffened his stout frame, and all was over. As Overton knelt there above all that was mortal of his genial old friend, mentally renewing the v o w he "had taken wttfr t h e general, it.Aeem.ed as though the scroll of time were unrolled, and once again he looked back to the hour of his awful humiliation and despair, when the woman he loved betrayed him for gold, and gave herself for life into the keeping of his rival, whose foot had pressed the ladder of fame and fortune. "It is Destiny," he said solemnly. 'T pleaded with high Heaven to grant this one request. The wonderful opportunity has come, and now—to my work!" BOOK THREE. Th« Modern Mont* Ctlitn. CHAPTER XIV. The Marquis of Montezuma. It was lovely June, and«London sheltered at least a million and a half of visitors within her gates, for the greatest Jublilee the world has ever known was* in progress, to celebrate the ending of sixty years* reign on the part of the beloved sovereign, Victoria. Among the millions who gazed upon the marvelous spectacle, none occupied a more commanding position than a gentleman of distinguished appearanco, who seemed to control several of the best windows in the second floor of a famous hotel in front of which the procession moved. His manner seemed cold and repressed, as though his heart were not in this scene. Indeed, at times he appeared gloomy, a s might a man bowed down with heavy cares. Among those who speculated with regard to the Identity of this mysterious guest of the fashionable hotel were a couple of gentlemen seated at the window of an office further down t h e street. One of these was no other than Captain Maurice Llvermore, the famous traveler. H i s companion was a club man, who pretended to do a little business for the looks of the thing, which accounted for the office in the Strand. "Come, tell me who that fellow over yonder may be? He seems t o lord it like a prince of the blood. From what part of the world does he hail?" asked the captain. "Some weeks ago." said his companion, ' \ e burst in upon London like a comet, and in two days the talk of fhe town w a s nothing but Don Juan de Overton, or, as some have called him, the Marquis of Montezuma. "His wealth i s affirmed t o be without limit, and in this day that i s an assertion which can be said of few men; but Don Juan spends money like water, and his extravagances have cast poor Barney Bamato quite in the, shade, while even Dumas' .Monte Cristo i s hardly in the swim. "It has even been given on strong authority that he has a personal fortune of over twenty million pounds tterllag." The captain raised his hands to express surprise. "Jove! Have you met the Marquis?" "Weil, I have had that pleasure," complacently. "Then eome day when the opportunity arises, make me acquainted with this remarkable Spanish-American nabob, this modem Croesus, whose touch Is gold, like that of mythical Midas." "Willingly. You like to study man, and i n him you will find a puzzle worthy of your metal." "Well, find a chance to bring me into touch with this American nabob. I never saw an American—yes, there was one, but he hardly counts—with whom I was not able to get upon fam i l i a r a n d Intimate terms on short notice. Somehow they seem to like me. -I notice you have a marine glass on the wail among those yacht prizes and burgees. Would you mind handi n g . It over? I would like to have a closer survey of this man. Why, bless my soul, the windows _aregimjity^jio^ can I see any sign of him In the apartment. Your marquis h a s made a move a t last, Langford." When the marquis left the hotel he was gradually pushing along, when among the slow moving vehicles he noticed a hansom containing t w o ladies, one of them young, the other middle-aged. The marquis stood there, unmindful of the good-natured shoves of the crowd, seeing nothing but the charming countenance of the younger lady. "At last!" were the only words that came from between his white teeth, as the vehicle passed on. Then, with a cynical smile upon his face he once more joined the onward surge of the crowd. Half an hour later he shook himself free from the rolling billows, and entered a narrow court, by means of which he was enabled to reach a street leading t o the poorer regions. Suddenly he paused before a house, a .shabby looking affair, where a dirty little paper in the windowsVannbunced that apartments were to be let. Some Quixotic notion seemed to possess him, for hu gave a quick look up and down the street, laughed a little harshly, as though in judgment upon his contemplated action, and then boldly sounded hts knuckles upon the door. A frowsy woman opened it. "You have rooms for hire, madam?" asked the marquis, In the best of English. She was rather appalled at the appearance of such a "howling swell," as she was inclined to consider a fashionably dressed gentleman, and very humbly answered that it was true, though surely none to suit his lordship. • "I am not so certain of that." he replied quickly, "for I am looking t o find a sky parlor for a friend of mine, a painter, who will furnish it at his convenience." The woman's face grew brighter. If it was an attic the gentleman was looking for, she did have one vacant; it had even been occupied for a season by an artist, who was pleased to say the light was exceptionally good. She led the way to the attic and the marquis followed. From object to object he glanced, and upon the yawning aperture, yclept a fireplace, his gaze seemed to linger longest. With a calm voice he- inquired the price of the attic, and upon being told immediately paid three months' rent In advance. Then he seemed desirous of being rid of her presence, and expressed a desire to be left alone for half an hour. So the woman went below t o relate fairy stories of the Prince Bountiful whom she had unwittingly entertained, and boast of the new artist lodger who was to occupy one of the attic rooms. And the stranger in London stood there in that upper chamber, motionless, evidently overcome by memories that crowded upon his mind. As he stood, musing on the strange and remarkable vicissitudes of fortune, he heard a footstep dragging wearily up the stairs, and thinking it was t h e landlady, he did not move. Then a door was closed, and he heard a key turn in the lock. Some person had entered the adjoining room, probably a counterpart of tho one he occupied. Yes, there could be no doubt about it since he now caught voices. Unconsciously the marquis listened. Evidently something had given him a great Bhock, for his attitude betrayed this, a s he stood there, with one hand half raised, his head bent sideways, -and evidently intent upon hearing what w«* said beyond the thin partition, while, to himself -he was mutteri n i * ' ' - ; • • * • "Marvelous, tndeeeWhe hand of fate. After t w o . weeks of searching through half of London, and now to discover her by chance—to occupy the adjoining room. lAh! this Is kind, Indeed; but one o f the many favors with which I have "been blessed by an indult gent fortune." . As he listened, he discovered t o his dismay that there was a sound of low weeping i n the next room. He heard a window lowered, which •truck him a s singular, aa the air was very close on this 'balmy Jubilee day. "Is there no escape, dearest?" said a voice that seemed half muffled by the bed clothes, and y e t one knew instinctively that it-belonged t o an aged woman. "None, whatever, Aunty. We have endured everything that mortal can on earth. There i s nothing left for u s but this one resort," came in a low, quavering voice that somehow caused intense emotion to pass over the marquis* face, possibly because the speaker was a woman and in trouble. "Then God forgive us!" said the cracked voice, very reverently. "Hush, Aunty, dear; say no more, or you will unnerve me just when I T*otUM>* tverfjfe. ? W S&fcta** ri^H*.

But he failt»l to state that the famous gen* era], Louie Botha, had also been made prisoner—and had gotten away again. That is a story held in reserve, and may yet result in Borne court-martials. The British failed t o recognise the Boer leader, and the other prisoners took enre to shield him in every possible manner. After the pursuit of the fugitives had ended the captured mea were divided into groups, and Botha, fortunately for him, was included in the number that w a s intrusted to the care of the rear guard, from which he escaped during the excitement of a skirmish.

Kiss me again, Aunty. Soon I will come and lie at your side, where your arms can enfold me; dearest arms that have BO many times crushed me to a loving heart" The marquis was strongly shaken— for a man whose untold millions were the wonder and marvel of Lombard street, t o be thus brought face to face with the direst poverty, was a rude shock. Suddenly he became aware of the fact that some noxious gas came to his attention. He sniffed at the charged air suspiciously, and decided on the instant that it was the fumes of smoldering charcoal. Then the dreadful significance of what he had heard, the prayer for pity and forgiveness, the gradually dying murmur of v o i c e s - good heavens! It meant the desperate, poverty-stricken wretch's last fling at outrageous fortune, the sole relief from gnawing hunger and corroding care^— it meant suicide—while he lingered and planned those whom he would have helped might have crossed the grim divide that bordered the shadowy land of death!

COXDEXSED X E W S . CHAPTER XV. The Turning of the Tide. Whatever may have been the mystery of his past life, the marquis demonstrated the fact beyond all peradventure that he was a man of action, able to meet an emergency as it arose and overwhelm it. One leap and he was Outside the door of his attic room—another took him to that of the adjacent chamber, from whence had come the murmur of voices. He tried to open this, but was baffled— then, he remembered, having heard the key turned in the lock after the entrance of the dejected miniature painter. He threw his full weight forward, in such a manner that the impact was comething tremendous. There was a crash, and the door flew back. Into the chamber darted the marquis, holding his breath, for the deadly fumes of the wretched little charcoal stove were almost suffocating. His first move was to throw up the window, thus allowing a current of pure air, a t least as good a s this section of London could boast, to sweep through the chamber, a draught being formed by the open door. Next he picked up the pitcher of water standing on the box and dashing i t over the smoldering ' charcoal, effectually wound up it3 miserable part cf the tragedy. To the bed hs hastened. The women lay there wan and motionless— indeed, his first thought was that he had come to the rescue too late, and that death had already claimed his victims. Picking up the younger one in his Btrong arms, this resolute man of action bore her t o the window, and laid his burden down where the incoming current of air would fall upon her face. Then he went back for her older companion. Her eyes were open, though s h e seemed to be speechless^—evidently she had partially covered her head with the bed clothes and thus In a measure escaped t h e full result of the smothering sensation. Again he hurried to the side cf the form at the window tending oh, s o eagerly over her. and scanning her pinched face for signs of returning animation. The flutter of an eyelid, a low sigh, a slight movement of a hand—these were enough to tell him t h e joyful tidings, and when he bad assured himself of this fact, a faint, but fervent "than!c~~d59" came from the bsarded lips of the man.

Thanking all for past favors and wishing you a Happy New Year, we are, Very^truly yours, TEEPLE & CAOWELL The county teachers institute was held at Howell on Saturday last and not-with-standing the bad weather and roads a good number were out and a yery interesting meeting was held. Owing to tin illness of Prof. Sterling the meeting was called to order by Supt. Isabel ot Fowlervilleand opened by singing. The first paper on the program was Primary Teaching by Miss Jessie Green of the prima f y d e p a r t m e n t , Pinckney. She said there were several questions to ask oneself. W i a t a m f [ doing for the children? What habits are they forming? They must be J.!5PI®ssed_that school life is part of life itself. They must be taught to be neat and orderly. Child study is one of the requsites of the primary teache r . T h e habits formed in the primary room are apt to follow them all through life. They should be taught correct standing, sitting, breathing, etc. and to do it will require a teacher with patience. Keep the children busy at something in order to keep out of mischief. Give them change of employment, not all study and recitation, but amuse them with pict» ures, letters, etc. The discussion was led by Miss Nellie Holt. Children are apt to form opinions as to whom they will be like when they are grown up and the teacher is often taken as a standard. This Leing t e case the teacher must set the example cf a noble, ambitious, moral character and tea:h the noble characters of history. Teach reading by object lessons and so teach them to understand what they are reading. I teach them to do all tbey can for me and others. This was followed by a duet by little Fay Brock way and Stella Haight which was very pleasing. Preparatory English for the High School was an excellent paper by Miss Delia Edith Bullock. Some think to study English is only to read it. The pupil must form the habit of thinking about what they read and especially learn to use the dictionary. The spelling lesson should be the words the pupil understands. Make English real to the pupil and the battle will be half won. Must learn to write it as well as to read it. Many do not hnow how to put their thoughts on paper. The paper was discussed by Supt. Watkins of Brighton. Pupils learn to read and write a great deal by imitation— teachers should be very careful that their speech is correct. Keep the standard high. To make them understand what they read teach then> all you can ot the writer and the conditions under which the article or story was written. A great advantage too is to have them commit to memory many of the best. Prof. C. T. Gawn of Mt. Pleasant said that hearing and seeing good English are two main factors to teach. You may know every rule and not be able to read or speak correctly. We must teach word mastery. The pupil must leara to know at sight what the word is and how to spell it, give it clear pronunciation and understand what it means, then he can read it intelligently. AFTRRNOOX: The afternoon session was opened by a selection by the High School choir wh'ch was excellent and brought out prolonged applause. Should any Livingston county teacher teach for $16 per month, by Wm. Grocinger of Hartland was the first on the afternoon program. He answered it'emphatically No! The average teacher has to spend to much time studying to keep up with the times and keep prepared to teaoh that the teacher cannot afford to teach for $16. The schools and teachers are the Edward A.

OfftppURSE THIS WEEK ON flEOOLLECTION AND F0RQETFULNE88. Tea* B l b r t v i Till., IS: "Their Sins and Their fithjufttM rTill T Bemanaber No Mar**—Good Advice for Christians of AirTO»nomluatlons. (Copyright, 1502, Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, March 9.—From the letter to the Hebrews Dr. Talmago takes a text and illustrates how all offenders may be emancipated; text. Hebrews vliL 12, "Their sins and their Iniquities will I remember no more." The national flower of the Egyptians is the heliotrope, of the Assyrians is the crater lily, of the Hindoos is the marigold, of the Chinese is the chrysanthemum. We have no national flower, but there is hardly any flower more suggestive to many of us than the forget-me-not We all like to be remembered, ar/d one of our misfortunes is that there are so many things we cannot remember. With tibe art of recollection, which I cannot too highly eulogize, is one quite as important, and yet I never heard it applauded. I mean the art of forgetting. There Is a splendid faculty in that direction that we all need to cultivate. We might through that process be ten times happier and more useful than we now are. We have been told that forgetfulnes* is a weakness and ought to be avoided by all possible means. So far from a weakness, my text ascribes it to God. It Is the very top of omnipotence that God is able to obliterate a part of his own memory. If we repent of sin and rightly seek the divine forgiveness, the record of the misbehavior is not only crossed off the books, but God actually lbts it pass out of memory. "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." To remember c o more is to forget, and you cannot make anything else out of it. God's power of forgetting is so great that if two men appeal to him and the one man, after a life all right, gets the sins of "trie heart pardoned and the other man, after a life of abomination, geia pardoned, God remembers no more against one than against the other* The entire past of both the moralist, with his imperfections, and the profligate, with his debaucheries, Is as orach obliterated in the one case as in the other. Forgotten forever and forerer, "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." This sublime attribute of forgetfulnese on the part of God you and I need, in our finite way, to Imitate. You will do well to cast out of your recollection all wrongs done you. During the course of ones life he is sure to be misrepresented, to be lied about, to be injured. There are those who keep these things fresh by frequent rehearsal. Keep nothing in your possession that is disagreeable. Tear up the falsehoods and the slanders and the hypercriticiflms. Initiate t'*e Lord in my text and forget, actually forget, sublimely forget. There is no happiness for you in any other plan or procedure. Yon see All around you in the church and out •of the church dispositions acerb, malign, cynical, pessimistic. Do you know how these men and women got that disposition? It was by the embalmment of things pantherine and viperous. Their soul is a cage of vultures. Everything in them is sour or embittered. The milk of human kindness has been curdled. They do not Relieve in anybody or anything. Where there is one sweet pippin in their orchard there are fifty crabapples. They have never been able to forget. They do not want to forget. They never will forget. Their wretchedness is supreme, for no one can bs happy if he carries perpetually in mind the mean things that have been done him. On the other hand, you can find here and there a man or woman (for there are not many of them) whose disposition is genial and summery. Why? Have they always been treated well? Oh, no. Hard things have been said against them. They have been charged with offlciousness, and their generosities have been set down to a desire for display, and they have many a time been the subject of tittle tattle, and they have had enough small assaults like gnats and enough great attacks' like lions to have made them perpetually miserable if they would have consented to be miserable. Dnt they hare had enough divine philosophy to cast off the annoyances, and they have kept themselves in the sunlight of God's favor and have realized that these oppositions and hindrances are a part of a mighty discipline by which they are to be prepared for usefulness and heaven. Another practical thought: When our fault* are repented of let them go out of mind. If God forgets them we have a* right to forget them. Having once repente<Fof our infelicities and misdemeanors, there is no need of our repenting of them again. While it is right Chat Christians repent of ntw «lis and of recent sins, what is the use of botJbenng yourself and intuiting <H>d by asking him to forgive tins that long ago were forgiven? God hat forgotten them. Why do yon not forgrt them? No; you drag the load on with you, and 365 times a year, if 1 you pray every d*y3 *ypi ask God to re*aH occurrences ^wJ^caV h* has not only forgiven, but forgotten. Quit this folly. I do not ask you leas to realise the turpitude of sin, hut I ask yon to have a higher faith in the promise of God and the full deliverance of his mercy. He does not give a receipt for part payment or so much received on account, but receipt in full, God having for Christ's sake decreed "your sins and your iniquities will I remember'no more." As far as possible let the disagreeables of life drop. We have enough things in the present, and there will be enough in the future, to disturb us without running a special train into the great Goneby to fetch u* as special freight things left behind. Let the train of your thoughts throw off the worse than useless freight of a corrupt and destroyed past and load up with gratitude and faith and holy determination. We do not please God by the cultivation of the miserable. He would rather see us happy than to see us depressed. You would rather see your children laugh than to see them cry, and your Heavenly Father has no fondness for hysterics. Not only forget your pardoned trans- "1 verbally admit It Is a)l light, out I will keep the old grudge,good," There is something in the demeanor that seems to say: "I would not do you harm. 8topfc*»4 the Express* passengers on the famous Euaph* State; Indeed I wish von well but KxRrese h*v* been taken frofcithf paH that n . f h ^ ^ . a ^ ^ n 2 ^ » « a t l a l c»***> rowboats at dead of «i*& that unfortunate affair can never pass t o g w e ^ m f d r o w B | ttto.

They not only will not forget their forgiven deficits, but they seem to be determined that the church and the world shall not forget them. If you want to declare that you have been the chief of sinners and extol the grace that could save such a wretch as you were, do so, but do not go into particulars. If you have any scars got in honorable warfare, show them, but if you have scars got in ignoble warfare do not display them. I know you will quote the Bible reference to the horrible pit from which you were digged. Yes, be thankful for that rescue, but do not make displays of the mud of that horrible pit or splash it over other people. Sometimes I have felt in Christian meetings discomfited and unfit for Christian service because I had done none of those things which seemed to be, in the estimation of many, necessary for Christian usefulness, for I never swore a word or ever got drunk or went to compromising places or was guilty of assault and battery or ever uttered a slanderous word or ever did any one a hurt, although I knew my heart was sinful enough, and I said to myself, "There is no use of my trying to do any good, for I never went through those depraved experiences." But afterward I saw consolation in the thought that no one gained any ordination by the laying on of the hands of dissoluteness and infamy. And though an ordinary moral life, ending in a Christian life, may hot be as dramatic a story to tell about, let us be grateful to God rather than worry about it if we have never plunged into outward abominations. It may be appropriate in a meeting of reformed drunkards or reformed debauchees to quote for those not reformed how desperate and nasty you once were, but do not drive a scavenger's cart into assemblages of people the most of whom have always been decent and respectable, But I have been sometimes in great evangelical meetings where people went into particulars about the sins that they once committed, so much so that I felt like putting my hand on my pocketbook or calling for the police lest these reformed men might fall from grace and go at their old business of theft or drunkenness or cut-throatery. If your sins have been forgiven and your life purified, forget the waywardness of the past and allow others to forget it. But what I most want in the light of this text to impress is that we have a sin-forgetting God. Suppose that on the last day—called the last. day because the sun will never again rise upon our earth, the earth itself being flung Into fiery demolition—supposing that on that last day a group of infernal spirits should somehow get near enough the gate of heaven and challenge our entrance and say: "How canst thou, the just Lord, let those souls into the realm of supernal gladness? Why, they said a great many things they never ought to have said, and they did a great many things they ought never to have done. Sinners are they—sinners all." And suppose God should deign to answer. He might say: "Yes, but did not my only Son die for their ransom? Did he not pay the price? Not one drop of blood was retained in his arteries; not one nerve of hit thai was sot wrung in the torture. He took in his own body and soul all the suffering that those sinners deserve, They pleaded that sacrifice; they took the full pardon that I promised to all who, through my Son, earnestly applied for it, and it patted out of my mind that they were offenders. I forgot all tbout i t Yes, I forgot all about it. Their sins and their iniquities do I remember no m o m ' " A-e4a*fiwgetting God! Thar is clear beyond and far' above a sin-pardoning God.; How often we hear it said, "I can forgive, but I can not forget." That is equal to skying, words pass between them, but until death breaks In the same coolness remains. But God lets our pardoned offenses go into, oblivion. He never throws them up to us again. He feels as kindly toward us as though we had been spotless and positively angelic all along. Many years ago a family consisting of the husband and wife and little girl of two years lived far out in a caoln on a western prairie. The husband took a few cattle to market. Before he started his little child asked him to buy for her a doll, and he promised. He could after the sale of the cattle purchase household necessities and certainly would not forget the doll he had promised. In the village to which he went he sold the cattle and obtained the groceries for his household and the doll for his little darling. He started home along the dismal road at nightfall. As he went along on horseback a thunderstorm broke, and in the most gressfohs, but allow others~to forget-lonely—part of-the road and in the--date&—Hnndrerifi of families have heaviest part of the storm he heard a child's cry. Robbers had been known to do some bad work along that road, and it was known that this herdsman had money with him, the price of the cattle sold. The herdsman first thought it w a s a stratagem to have him ha It and be despoiled of his treasures, but the child's cry became more keen and rending, and so he dismounted and felt around in the darkness and all in vain until he thought of a hollow that he remembered near the road where the child might be, and for that he started and, sure enough, found a little one fagged out and drenched of the storm and almost dead. He wrapped it up as well as he could and mounted his horse and resumed his journey home. Coming in sight of his cabin, he saw it all lighted up and supposed his wife had kindled all these lights so as to guide her husband through the darkness. But no. The house was full of excitement, and the neighbors were gathered and stood around the wife of the house, who was insensible as from some great calamity. On inquiry the returned husband found that the little child of that cabin was gone. She had wandered out to meet her father and get the present he had promised and the child was lost. Then the father unrolled from the blanket the child he had found in the fields, and, lo, it was his own child and the lost one of the prairie home and the cabin quaked with the shout over the lost one found! How suggestive of the fact that once we were lost in the open fields or among the mountain crags, God's wandering children, and he found UB, dying in the tempest, and wrapped us in the mantle of his love and fetched us home, gladness and congratulation bidding us welcome. The fact is that the world does not know God or they would all flock to him. So I set open the wide gate of my text, inviting you all to come into the mercy and pardon of God—yea, still further, into the ruins of the place where once was kept the knowledge of your Iniquities. The place has been torn down and the records destroyed, and you will find the ruins more dilapidated and broken and prostrate than the ruins of Melrose or Kenilworth, for from these last ruins you can pick up some fragment of a sculptured stone or you can see the curve of vsome broken arch, but after your repentance and your forgiveness you cannot find in all the memory of God a fragment of your pardoned sins so large as a needle's point. "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." bix different kinds of sounds were heard on that night which was interjected into the daylight of Christ's assassination. The neighing of the warhorses— for some of the soldiers were in the saddle—was one sound, the bang of the hammers was a second sonnd, the jeer of malignants was a third sound, the weeping of friends end followers was a fourth sound, the splash of blood on the rocks was a fifth sound, and the groan of the expiring Lord was a sixth sound. And they all commingled into one sadness. Over a place in Russia where wolves were pursuing a load of travelers and to save them a servant sprang from the sled into the mouths of the wild beasts and was devoured and thereby the other lives were saved are Inscribed the words, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend." Many tf surgeon in our own time hat in tracheotomy with his own lips drawn from the windpipe of a diphtheritic patient that which cured the patient and slew the surgeon, and all have honored the self-sacrifice. But all other scenes of sacrifice i>ale before this most illustrious martyr of all time and all eternity. After that agonizing ..spectacle in behalf of our fallen race nothing about the sin forgetting God la too stupendous for my faith, and I accept the promise, and will you not ail accept it?

Three weeks ago the greater part of its business section was burned out and Sunday the quarter occupied by the houses of the poorer class were inunbeen made homeless by the overflow of the Passaic river, and the country for miles around the city Is under water. So far but one death has been reported. It is estimated that the loss wrought by the flood is as large as that by the fire, while it is said there is little or uo insurance-to-eover- it. Many more fam-- illes have been rendered homeless by the flood than were made so by the Are, and the relief committee whose labors were becoming lighter daily, is now hard at work seeking to assist those who have lost everything by the water. About midnight Sunday night the water began falling and save the suffering of the homeless the worst is over. A Mild Porm of Slavery. The extent of slavery In the Philippines was discussed by Gov.

The slaves could buy their liberty, but until this was done the condition ran from generation to generation. The slaves were members of the family and the relation was comparatively mild, If it was possible to consider any form of slavery as mild. Gov.

Som* raoU Thai Devotees of the Gam* May Not S a o v . Scotland, aa everybody knows, Is the land where golf originated and the land where it most nourishes. But it the law was strictly enforced north of the Tweed it would go hard with the players of the royal game in "Bonnie Scotland." Golf nlayera there may not know it, but they are liable to a sentence of death for their indulgence in their favorite sport. Technically this is literally a fact In ancient times, when Scotland always had work for her soldiers to do, all young men were required to perfect themselves in archery. They preferred to play golf, and so serious a rival did the gixne become that it was for a time suppressed and made a capital offense. That curious law never has been repealed, and may still be found on the statute book. There seems to be no record, however, of the law ever having been enforced. This legislation in regard to golf reminds one of Kipling's charge that football and cricket are occupying the attention of the,youth of England to the exclusion of the more serious business of fighting—his attack on "The fiacneled fool at the wicket and the muddled oaf at the goal."

A correct diet will not only nourish a partic u k r psrtof the body, but it will sustain every other part: Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.

The matter was taken up with the department through congressman Smith, who has secured a modification of the order, allowing all 18-inch waterproof boxes to be a proper recepticle for mail.—Fenton Independent. The institution and extension of free mail delivery in rural communities is one of the more important ot the policies onwhich government plumed—rtself for the past few year3, and neither the popularity ncr the genuine beneficence of the system is likely to t e questioned. The genuiness of the desire for the service is attested not only by the many Thousands of routes already in operation but by the equal number of applications waiting to be acted on. But almost universal approval ot the plan itself is accompanied and modified by a co-extensive complaint as to one detail in the method of its administration, and this complaint signifies not a latent discontent, but an active opposition, and a firm conviction that the government is not only making invidious distinctions be tween classes of patrons of the postal service, but is rendering important aid in buncoing the farumr for the benefit of private parties. This is seen in the ministration permitting the postoffice department to continue its encouragement and protection of j •-—«• an obooxious monopoly ';. the sale of mail boxes ior free rural delivery routes. - *OTJO£* We the undersigned, do h*r«bf agree to refund the money on a 5 ^ cent bottle of Down's Elixir I f i t doea not cure any ccugh, cold, whooping congh, or throat trouble.

Sheriff Chapman, of Kent county, believes fully that Mrs. Ada Klumpp, of IAHVOII, was murdered by a poison sent her through I he mail. Some days ago Mrs. Klumpp received what purported to be a headache powder, prepared by a linn at Savannah, N. Y. On fcumiay. Mnrnh L\ her husband went to the bam to hitch up a team, intending tx> take his wife for a drive. Mrs. Klumpp complained of a headache and told her husband that she would try one of the headache pov dors that she had received. When he returiHvd to the house ho found her in convulsions, and in spite <»f medical aid hastily summoned, she died within twelve ham's. Her stomach w a s analyzed in Grand Rapids and found to eontiiin enough strychnine to kill several persons. A similar ijowdor was received by Mrs. William Miller, a near.:. n e i g h b o r o £ the .

The powder was within a small envelope., a ml there was but one powder in the package. This smaller envelope was marked "Sample package.."

He hurried over to the table, upon which he laid a couple of bank notes, and tearing a sheet of paper from his vade mecvim, wrote upon . it these worj|s: "Aocept this from a friend. Hope for brighter things in the f u t u r e - trust in God." A movement on the part of Mazette warned him it was time to be gone— he only lingered long enough to pin the mosey and the note to the table and then walked hastily down the stairs. Once outside the marquis walked toward the Strand with a swinging stride—he seemed to have thrown off some of the cynical moodiness that had marked his intercourse with all men since striking London. Finally he drew up at a shop almost in the shadow of St. Clement's church, in a neighborhood famous for its literary and artistic atmosphere. Over the door was the sign of Duval, sacred t o many who had handled brush or crayon in the world's metropolis. M/ Duval saw a prospective purchaser, and of course, was all smiles. Miniatures—certainly, he always kept them in stock and had the means of reproducing any photograph at short notice. * He watched the customer separate half a dozen of the little paintings on ivory from the rest, and marveled at the ease with which he had thus picked out all the works of one brush. "These are the only decent ones you have. Tell me how much for the lot," he said, quietly. Mr. Duval named a price far in excess of their intrinsic value, judging that he must have been blind to their merits, and was' immediately cursing himself under his breath for not having added on a third more, for the marquis carelessly threw the amount down. —This artist pleases^ me, sir. I would like to have a dozen family portraits done by the same brush. For each of these I shall pay five pounds to the artist and your commission of one pound. Is that a bargain, M. Duval?" The dealer snatched at it eagerly. Consider it settled, then. Now. I am an expert at this work. It is evident to me the artist is a lady." 'Monsieur is quite" correct," bowing Jow and rubbing his hands together with pleasure. "Very good. There is no need of paper between us—a nudum factum is quite sufficient. But, my dear Monsieur Duval, remember, they must be by the same brush." "By to-morrow, monsieur, I shall hand you in a package of family pictures which I wish to add to my collection of miniatures. I shall also leave the money here, knowmg you to be an honest man, to be paid to the artist, as fast as she completes each ivory." "Mon Dieu; it is one great pleasure. Would that there were more customers like you, m'sieur. It would then hi a happiness to be in trade," said the flattered and delighted dealer in pictures. The marquis took his leave, filled with a sensation of having started the ball rolling, nor was it until he had gone that M. Duval thought to recall the fact that he had failed to ask his princely customer's name. he was compelled to drink the dregs, for he had lost. Then, looking up into the face of his opponent, he saw a sparkle in the eyes of the Marquis, a glow of triumph that gave him a cold chill. Where had he seen that same look before? Cudgel his brain as he would, he could not remember. "I a m done for to-night, Marquis; you have won all I possess; your luck is prodigious," he said, as he rose. "Ah! indeed, you are kind to say so, captain; but I assure you it was not always the case. The demon of misfortune has had his little fling at my door, even as be now knocks at yours, but you see I lived through it, and my hour has come. Shall we enjoy any further social play, captain? I assure -yeu^ii ia-a^rare pWqiir» for me to engage in this little pastime with a gentleman of your Bkill and attainments." s "I hope to see you again if I am able to scrape any part of my resources together. If not, Marquis, you can be s a t i s f i e d t h at I am down, to bed rock, I never yield, while I have a single weapon left in my hand," he said, grimly. "I can well believe that, captain," and, returning Livermore's stiff bow, he watched the soldier saunter among the other club members, chatting with this one and laughing at some sally as though nothing had occurred to disturb his equanimity. The Marquis frowned. He knew this man was absolutely ruined, and yet his victory had been robbed of half its sweetness because he had failed to quench that indomitable soldier spirit that refused to knuckle under at misfortune's call. That afternoon he attended a garden party at Lady Catherwood's palatial home. Here he was, as usual, the lion of the occasion, and his hostess was kept busy introducing him. Finally they approached a single figure, standing under a royal palm that had been hroxrghtfrom the- famous Gather wood conservatory foi\the occasion—the figure of a young woman. Her back was toward those who advanced, but he could catch the queenly poise of her proud head. If her face did not disappoint the anticipation aroused by this first glance, she must be a fit subject for an artist's dream. "My dear, I have succeeded in rescuing the Marquis, and bring him a captive in my train to pay his respects to my guest and kinswoman," said Lady Catherwood, blandly. The queenly figure turned, and in so doing came under the soft light of a nearby lantern. Thus the Marquis found himself face to face with a spectre of the past— again in memory he could see this gloriously beautiful creature gracefully gliding about, in tho dance, while mandolins and guitars struck weird chords that served as time to her flying feet; again he could see the gay sash tied in a knot that ornamented one plump shoulder, while a shining knife fastened by a scarlet ribbon, decorated the other, the cold, cruel blade nestling against her heaving bosom as she thus invited her hot-blooded admirers to meet in mortal combat, for the guest of Lady Catherwood was no other than Senorita Juanita. the belle of Gautartca. BOOK THREE. The Modem Monte Cristo. Two weeks more sufficed to make the Marquis of Montezuma famous in London. Every day new accounts of astonishing features connected with his life appeared in the papers. Naturally the Marquis was the most nought after man in all London. Bushels of invitations poured in upon him over which his secretaries were busy all day, their labor being usually a polite note, declining the honor on account of pressing engagements. The Marquis accepted a few invitations, bnd these generally took him to the chibs, though the season was so late few notables could be met with there. Captain Livermore had forced the Hon. Prentice Langford to keep his word—he had early made the acquaintance of the American Midas, and they reached the friendly stage of intercourse that is marked by a game between gentlemen, but somehow, for the first time iu hia life, the genial captain found luck run harshly, and. instead of handling some of the wonderful wealth of the nabob, he was stripped of all the ready cash he had at hand. Certain of retrieving his fortune*, he played time after time. Finally he staked his all on a last chance. Evil fortune followed him to the very end— CHAPTER XVI, From Over the Sea. The Marquis of Montezuma bowed low. His face was as calm and unruffled as the summer sky; not «ven for an instant did he betray the slightest emotion, and yet the surprise must havo inwardly staggered him. The presence of Dona Juanita here, in England—did it portend disaster to his long-cherished plan6? As for the haughty daughter of the dons, she was affable enough, and smiled while extending a dainty hand which he was compelled to accept. Lady Catherwood had scurried away to look after some necessary details connected with her duties as hostess, for one cannot entertain and enjoy themselves at the same time. A silence fell upon the two. The senorita was looking at her companion under half-closed lids, and he awaited what he knew was coming —awaited it with that caimness natural to security. •'Senor Jack, between you and me, there is no need of this coldness, this secrecy. Surely you could not believe me 60 blind that I did not recognize you at the first glance." said the girl, suddenly laying a hand on his arm. "I realized that and I have been simply waiting until you might see fit to speak, You tee I admit all you say—I am free to confess it," was the cool reply he made, "Ah, Senor Jack, you ar« a sphinx— I can make nothing of you. Let* mo commence upon another tack. You have declared yourself incapable of affection, yet I have known you to lean upon one man with sueh confidence that I am sure he occupied a place i n your heart." The Marquis showed signs of emotion at last—his wonderful reserve had been pierced. "Yes," he replied, sadly. "To this day General Barrajo has not been seen in Oautarica," she continued. "Poor Pedro—faithful friend," he muttered. "You alone know his fate, Senor Jack." "Yes, but all the world shall soon know it, for I have had its feats of arms blazoned upon a stone just about to be sent over. It will be set up in San Jose Cemetery, where h i s body has lain these two years." "Is it possible—his death then is a mystery—it was connected with your own adventures?" "True, Senorita. Together we sought a treasure, shoulder to shoulder we met those who would have robbed us of our prize. We conquered, but Barrajo fell, bleeding in every vein. Our written compact gave the survivor all. His dying wish was that his body should be removed to consecrated ground. There he has lain under a stone marked only 'Don Pedro, who gave his life in battle for a Friend.' It shall be so no longer—all Gautarica shall ring with the valor of his last_id_eed, and crowd to his grave to do the brave old hero honor."'~ The Marquis for once had been thrown oft his guard by the revival of these never-to-be-forgotten scenes, and as memory again brought the heroism of Barrajo before him his face lighted up with an enthusiasm it had not been allowed to disclose, lo, these many days. And Dona Juanita, seeing the transitory change, surveyed him with kind- •flng eyes. "Ah! Senor Jack, such satisfaction is sweet to the heart of those who have loved and been thrown aside. I sympathize with you, and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be allowed a share in your plans— to make your interests my own. Perhaps a woman's wit might help you to secure a quick and terrible revenge." "You mean well, Dona Juanita; I thank you for the interest shown in my welfare, but whatever my plans may be, they must -concern- me alone., I could not permit any one to join me in their prosecution, least of all you, whom I have known and respected in other days. So I beg that you will forget what you said, and let us hold intercourse as friends who have met after long separation." One look she gave him; it was like the glowering stare of a tigress about to leap; then her mood suddenly changed, and she laughed in a mellow way that had no trace of anger in it—in times past this peculiarity had been very manifest in her disposition-r-the sudden change of front such as marks the consummate actress and the dangerous woman. "Just as you say, Marquis, but I have a rarely obstinate nature, and, having set my mind on any object it is hard to balk me. Here comes my delightful hosteBs and kinswoman. At some later date I trust to see you again, when we may chat over scenes in the misty past." He nodded assent. The Marquis was glad when my lady dragged him away to another part of the garden to meet others of her fair guests; but he understood what hidden meaning lay beneath the words which the black-eyed Spanish beauty floated after him, and which would arise many times to haunt him: "Au revoir, Marquis; I always keep my word!" The opportunity had come at length. A few hasty words from his hostess and the Marquis found himself face to face with the woman whose falseness to her vows had sent him, a smooth-faced young man. an exile from England five years before. He had prepared for the meeting, and not by the quiver of an eyelid did he betray himself. Fedora was as lovely and charming as ever, more matronly, perhaps, but showing no sign oi the passage of time. Several times the Marquis knew his companion was looking at him intently, thinking herself unobserved. Perhaps some faint memory was struggling for existence in her mind, some floating straw at which she clutched in vain. Sooner or later doubtless she would awaken to the discovery of his identity, but when that time came the Marquis believed he would have so aroused the old passion that must, during these years, have lain dormant in her heart, that she would even give up a ruined husband, a wretched homo, and flee with him.

Andree Won Murdered. A report sent out from the Hudson Day post at Fort Churchill, about two ami a half years ago, that Andree, the Swedish aeronaut and his associates had boon killed, by Eskimos, is confirmed by advices received at the head oliice of the company here. Alston ChuivhiU, factor at Churchill, which is the company's most northerly ..post (in the west coast of Hudson's bay. has "written that after about t w o years' search, the men sent out by him have returned with n report similar to the one first published. Traces of the daring balloonist and his associates were followed for hundreds of miles, but it was 'impossible to lovate the tribe who caused tho death. The story of the searchers is that Arctic Eskimos saw "oimiak" (one of their largest boatsi floating in the air. When it settled to the ground three •white men strangely dressed came out with guns, which they indiscreetly Jiml. Andree ami his assistants wore killed with huskee IMJWS, and everything of value taken. The searchers found knives, tobacco ami cartridges supposed to have belonged to Andree, in possession of one of the most northern tribes, but could get no further information. News that Andree undoubtedly met his death at the hands of the Eskimos has been forwarded to the Swedish government. Punston'i Plain Word*. Brig-lten.

It. is perfectly proper for us to have all scrts of opinions as to what we should do with the Philippine islands, but. for heaven's sake, let us keep them to ourselves until every square inch of that territory recognizes the sovereignty of the United States." Gen. Funston then^ gave many examples to show that the Filipiiu leaders were not true patriots. He mentioned the slaying of Antonio Luna, who was ordered slain by Aguiualdo. Gen. Funston said that Aguiualdo had told him In regard to Luna's death: "I had him killed simply because he would have been dictator instead of myself." "Would you imagine tJeorge Washington doing anything like that?" asked Gen. Funston. Germany has 800 more physicians than it had in 1900. The present number is about 28,175.

ANOTHER GRAND REPORT. From BU Majsntn OMkysvvT ' ~ Portsmouth, Xaglaavd, y*btn vpwda of if»oo* Mf ^ Cotxatantl^ EvploVod. * Some time ago the Portsmouth Times and Nsvai Gasette published a* moat thrilling and remarkable experience of the wife of Mr. Frederick Payne, himself connected with the Portsmouth dockyard for many years. The report produced a great sensation, not only in Portsmouth, but throughout the country, being considered of sufficient importance for reproduction and editorial comment by the leading metropolitan and provincial preas of England, as showing the marvelous power which S t Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for Rheumatism, its application having effected a perfect cure in the case of Mrs. Payne, after having been a helpless cripple and given up by several physicians. We have now further evidence of its intrinsic value as a Pain Conqueror. Our readers will do well to follow the intelligent and highly interesting details as given in Mrs. Rabbets own words: "To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oil— "Gentlemen: My husband, who is a shipwright in His Maje3ty'm dockyard, met with an accident to hif ankle and leg, spraining both so ba/ly that his leg turned black from hist knee t o h i s toe;. The doctor said^ It would be months before he could put his foot to the ground, and it was doubtful whether he would ever get proper use of his leg again. "A few days after the accident I had a book left at the door telling aooutSC" Jacob's Oil, so I procured a bottle from our chemist, Mr. Arthur Creswell, 379 Commercial Road. I began to use St. Jacob's Oil, and you may guess my surprise when in about another week from that date my husband could not only stand, but could even walk about, and in three weeks from the time 1 first used the Oil my husband was back at v/ork, and everybody talking about his wonderful recovery. This is not all. Seeing what St. Jacob's Oil could do gave me faith in your Vogeler" s Curative Compound, also favorably mentioned in the book left at my house. I determined to try the compound on my little girl, who was suffering from a dreadful skin disease, the treatment of which has cost me large sums of money in going from one doctor to another with her, all to no purpose. She has taken* two bottles of Vogeiers Curative Compound, and one would how hardly take her for- t h e same child. Her skin has such a nice healthy color after the sallow look she has always had. "I shall never cease to be thankful for the immense benefit we have dorived from these two great remedies of yours. I think it a duty to recommend these medicines now I have proved their value. (Signed.) "Elizabeth S. Rabbets, "93 Grafton, Street, Mile End, "Landport, Portsmouth, England." A liberal free sample of Vogeler's Compound will be sent by addressing St. ..snob's Oil, Ltd., Baltimore. The above honest, straightforward statement of Mrs. Rabbets evidence is stronger and far more convincing than pages of paid advertisements, which, though in themselves attractive, yet lack that convincing proof which Mrs. Rabbets' description of her own experience supplies. St. Jacob's Oil has a larger sale throughout the world than that of all other remedies for outward application combined, and this can only be accounted for from the fact of its superiority over all others. It is liktlv that we would see less t« condemn in our neighbors, if God ooutd see more to commend in us.
