r-_. SLANDER. If there's one thing we all must hate rThat thing is surely slander. These libels on the good and great Unto ba?e minds must pander. Ana mac is wny u us mau?. We loathe, abhor, and fear it; But. be the slander ne'er so bad, We somehow like to hear it. The slanderer we ail despise; Contempt is still his portion. .We count it nothing more than wise To hear his tales with caution. That they are false we know full well, That malice he's displaying; But if he's bound those tales to tell. Why cot hear what he's saying? It's really hard to comprehend How people can be made so. 'And yet attentive ears we lend, Most of us?I'm afraid so. Of course thev do no end of harm. They all deserve a beating? But then their stories have a charm And some are worth repeating. ?Chicago News. $ The jt 1 Frazet Millions. $ - 3 By C. B. BURG IN. V I L jig] OlMPUDEXCE. I call it." said I y the fair young -widow Mar| j stoc, ' when you know I KKll TtI start for London to-inorRsi' IslH row. Marry you, Sim Parker! You! Why. 1 may be a 'lady snip D^rore 1 come Dacu witn an tnat money. All I want is to find some one to take care of Chub till I get back." . Chub was her little boy. ' See that tree?" asked Sim. pointing to an ancient rock elm which leaned crookedly against the side of Celinda's pretty little house? tlio house she had just sold. "Of course I do. What has that got to do "with it?" "You'll find me lennin' agin it when you come back; that's all." The young fellow's blue eyes impressed her with a sense of power. Her own fell beneath his masterful gaze. There was a big but unsympathetic procession to see Celinda start from the wharf next day. Four Cornerites vaguely resented Celinda's airs %nd graces, and did not believe that she would get the money. As far back as 1750 Fraser of Ochiltree's eldest son had emigrated to Canada. When Fraser of Ochiltree died his son had never claimed his money, which, presumably, continued to accumulate. One of the Montreal papers said it amounted to four millions. All Celinda had to do was to prove her identity and bring back the money. She wanted to settle down in the Judge's house and show people what she thought of them. But when the vessel got outside Quebec Celinda would have given all the Fraser millions to be back at Four Corners. But in time she recovered. Chub (he declined to be seasick) made violent love to the captain, whom he persisted in looking upon as a parent, greatly to ^that worthy's embarrassment. He was 1 a married man, and told Chub so, but Chub only laughed and gurgled, and : P wanted him to "tiss mummy"?a proposal -which sent a hlush to the young widow's pretty cheeks. When Celinda reached Liverpool the ! captain obtained permission from his , owners to take her up to town, and leave his first officer in charge. Celinda-had refused to marry the first offi- , cer four times, the second Officer twice, < the third officer thrise, but they none of them bore malice, except to pity the , captain for being a married man. "You 1 see," said the first officer to his companions in misfortune, "we can afford to look down on him, because he's out of -?4fc-married. Now if the widow comes back with us for the return trip we can | go on proposing until she gets tired out i i and takes one of us. It looked at first I as if the Old Man has tbe bulge on us, I but you just wait until lie goes home I and tells his wife all about it." |< IL *Slm Parker went into what had once KAATI P??1 in/lo'c lmuon MA.1 Iwvu w?iu%iu o i/itnj iivuoc, auu ^a^ru at it with an air of satisfaction. Everything was just as it had been before Celinda went away to fetch the hypothetical four millions. Chub'g cradle, already aired, stood in one corner. Sim gave it a thoughtful push with his foot, and set it rocking. Some interesting -works of art on the walls shone in fresh frames. The rooms had been repapered and the kitchen ceiling whitewashed. At the sale Sim had been the only bidder for five photographs of the Jate unlamented Dick Marston. With a certain delicacy he took them into the Kitchen and put them in the stove, as Uf he thought they would thus rejoin [the person whom they portrayed. The "hired girl" wore a new frock, presented to her by Sim. Celinda's little pig. bo longer an outcast, in spite of his piteous entreaties, had been scrubbed by 81m into a state of pinky perfection, in case Chub wanted to "love him." The black and white cow looked out from her stall and lowed to a pretty little I black and white calf which had mysteriously appeared on the scene. The calf wore a collar with the word wm - ^/liuu IJLL uiaoa idicis. | "So far that's all right," said Sim, as he went around the verandah, and noI ticed a belated humming bird hovering j over the big fuchsia in its green tub. IL "Noxs, if parson and his wife will only Worne along in time. Celinda '11 git here I just after dark and nobody be any the I .wiser." iH^ looked at a telegram from his agent iu Montreal and smiled. Then he frowned. "I dunno," he mused. "I dunno as It's fair to Celinda to force her into it. Beckon she'll be feelin' pretty bad." He heard the whistle of the night boat as she fussed up to the long wharf. "I'd like to wring the neck of <hat whip-poor-will." mused Sim, taking his position against the tree he had monHr.npfl tn ("Vlinri.i "\fnkps mo fpp) that lonesome it gives me the chills." ? The inhabitants of Four Corners were all indoors enjoying their evening '.- meal, and the stage, after vainly waiting at the wharf to bring up passeni jere crawled emptily into Four CornI "?uss so," said Sim, placidly continuI jng to smoke.

"Are ?yo" there, Sim ?" asked a pleas ant voice as the parson's "wife approached the tree. "You bet I'm here, Mrs. Clarke." said Sim. with a smile, "but it's sort of lonesome." "You ? you'll he very gentle with her." hesitated the minister's pretty wife. "You'll lie very gentle with her. Situ. True love is never harsh or unkind."' Sim nodded cheerfully. "You bet I'll be gentle. Minister in there?" He pointed to the little parlor in which the lamp shone brightly. "My husband? Yes; he's very hungry. Sim. Don't be longer than you can help." "I've got a deputation of our 'leading citizens' hiding behind the barn," i grinned Sim. "Had to pay old Parker ten dollars afore he'd come, and Chris ' Jimmerson five, but they've learned their speech." . ; JIfeffs?*"You're a good man, Sim," said the little lady, and tripped away to join her husband. Presently, as Sim stood leaning against a tree, a slight figure stole tim idly through the dusk. In its arms it / carried a bundle. A sob rose to its lips ^ as it looked at the cosy little house. Then it turned sadly away. Chub, who was weary, began to cry. "I wouldn't go if I were you. Celinda." said Sim, softly. Celinda gave a little sob also, then choked it back. "I?I wanted just to have one look at it again. I might have known you'd be here, Sim." "Of course," said Sim, quietly. "Didn't I say so?" "Tliey laughed at me." faltered Celinda. "I went to the Bank of England with Mr. Gould, and they were quite satisfied with my proofs. The only difficulty was that there wasn't any money. It had never been lodged at the bank at all. and no one knew what had become of it." She turned away bitterly. I "Where are you going to put up, Ce- < lindaV" 1 "Anywhere ? anywhere.

Celinda. Shall I carry the little feller in for you?" "But I sold it." " ' "Well. I bought it back for you. You've no call to thank me;" said Sim. "You! You!" She knelt at his feet. Sim held Chub with one hand and raised her with the other. "I'll go away if you don't want me." he whispered. brokenly. "Only, there's a dep* utation waitin' to welcome you bock, and parson's in the parlor. Brace up, Celinda. Brace up." "Sim, dear, will you forgive me?" she whispered and kissed him with a heart and a can. "i ve oeen wiciieu, bu uu- i kind, so brutal to you." "You've kissed me." said Sim. "Kissed me! That answers everything." He led her proudly to the bouse as she wiped away her tears. Once inside, Celinda "braced up" and received the greetings of the parson and his wife with shy cordiality. "Would you please marry us, and then we'll have supper," she said with characteristic aeeision. and the parson understood. The "deputation" staggered In rfs the brie? ceremony finished. "You kin git out agin," said Sim. "You've been nsleep behind the bam." "Ain't slep' a wink. Wansb earn ten lollahs." hiccoughed old Parker. "We, the undershlned " He looked helplessly around.

"I'm a married man, I am, and I can't have two cranks like you foolin' round." After making three unsuccessful attempts to find the door the deputation withdrew. "We'll take them home," said the parson, making a sign to his wife. And they followed the devious footsteps of the deputation. Outside, the river murmured at its own sweet will.

The removal of 3000 Choctaws from Mississippi and Louisiana to the Indian Territory, which is now in progress, need inspire no eloquence about Red Men's wtongs and "palefaces' broken treaties." The treaty breaking was on the other side: these members of the tribe are descended from thosefnSln/1 *a mAVA Woof in Q t tlicy agreed, and they are exchanging a precarious and hard existence for comparative affluence. Our Indians do not now fare badly. Far from dying out, they are increasing in number. The census of 1890 reported 249,000 of them; Secretary Hitchcock's recent report shows an increase to 2(i!),000. Allowing for Indian admixture in men reckoned as whites, there is more Indian blood in the country to-day than when the Pilgrims landed. Then the tribes were decimated by disease and wasted by wars; great tracts of uninhabited forests lay between them, and tlie.v could not hold lands so much wider than th?y used. Now their descendants mainly dwell in compact communities, usually civilized ai:d prosperous. The rise in value of their lands has made most of the Indians well-to-do, the richest tribes being three or four times as wealthy as the same number of average whites.?New York World. The Cannon Car.

The long-negleeted fuchsia promises to be the leading flower, and appears on everything, and even in the designs of the new laces and passementerie ornaments.

It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so-called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession to-dav.

Dr. Brand says: "Mrs. 'C.,' age 28, had been a sufferer from catarrh for the past seven years; could not hear plain and had watery eyes. She came to me almost a physical wreck. She had tried the Coneland cures and various other so-called specialists, and had derived no benefit from them. She told me she did not Egyptian Mummy at Auction.

Brookfield says he was in Robert Louis Stevenson's company at the moment when the germ of the idea of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was conceived. Stevenson was inveighing against a man with whom he had done business and with whose methods he was dissatisfied. The man's name was Samuel Creggan or something like it. "He is a man wJjo trades on the Samuel," Stevenson declared in his rather finicky, musical Scot's voice. "He receives you with Samuel's smile on his * ? * luce; wim nit; Ktrsiuie ui otiiuuci nc invites you into a Chair; with Samuel's eyes cast down in self-depreciation he tells you how well satisfied his clients have always been with his dealings; but every now and then you catch a glimpse of the Creggan peeping out like a white ferret.

It has the nature of both com and wheat, possessing the fattening qualities of corn and the corn flavor. In appearance it resembles wheat. Its grains are twice as large as those of ordinary wheat. It yields sixty to 100 bushels an acre, and seems to solve the problem of fattening hogs in the Pacific Northwest, as corn is not successfully raised in that country.

Peruna is able to cure catarrh wherever it may be located by its direct action upon the mucous membranes. Catarrh means nflamed mucous membranes. Peruna acts at once to cleanse aird lhvigoratfe the ca tarrhal condition of the mucous membrantf no matter where it may occur in the body. Its action is the same on the mucous lining of the nose as on the mucous lining of the bowels. It ctires the catarrhal inflammation wherever it may occur. Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes: "Peruna is the best medicine I know of for cough and to strengthen a weak stomach and to give appetite. Beside prescribing it for catarrh, I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases. "I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. 1 hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering." We say Peruna cures catarrh. The people say Peruna cures catarrh. Prominent men and women all over the United States from Maine to California do not hesitate to come out in public print to say that Peruna is what ifc is r?commended to be,, ail internal, systemic catarrh remedy that cures catarrh wherever it may be located. Dr. M. C. Gee's Experience. Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna. In a letter written from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal., he says: "There is a general objection on Ahe part of the practicing physician to advocate patent medicines. But when any one medicine cures hun- ' dreds of people, U demonstrates its own value and does not need the endorsement of the profession. "Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in' San Francisco that 1 am convinced that it is a valuable remedy. / have frequently advised its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painless menstruation, cures leucorrhoep. and ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire system. I also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies I know of. 1 heartily endorse your medicine."?M.. C. Gee, SI. V. Women are esQecially liable to pelviccatarrh, female weakness as it is commonly called. Especially in the first few weeks of warm weather do the disagreeable symptoms of female weakness make themselves apparent. In crisp, cold weather chronic sufferers with pelvic catarrh do not feel so persistently the debilitating effects of the arain upon the system, but at the approach of summer with its lassitude and tired feelings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh feels the need of a strengthening tonic. Peruna is not only the best spring tonic for such cases, but it persisted in will effect a complete cure. Write foe a-copy of "Health and Beauty," written especially for'women by Dr. Hartman.
