KENTUCKY BELLE.
'Snmmer of 'G3, sir, Conrad had gone away?
Gone to the country town, air, to sell our first load i
cf hay.
We lived in the log-house yonder?poor, as ever
you've seen; j
Qoschen there was a baby, and I was only nine- l
teen.
Conrad he took the oxen, but ho left Kentucky i
Kelle;
How much we thought of Kentuck I couldn't begin
to tell.

gave her to me
When I rode North with Conrad, away froin the j
Tennessee.
Conrad lived in Ohio?a (Jerinan he is. you know; i
The house stood in broad cornfields stretching on, ]
rowaft(rrow.
The old folks made me welcome?they were kind
as* kind could be:
But I kept longing, longing for the hills of the.Tennessee.
Oh! for a sight of water, the shadowed slope of a
hill.
Clouds that hang on the summit, a wind that never
is still:
But the level land went sketching away to meet the
sky?
Never a rise from north lo south to rest the weary
eye.
From east to west no river to shine out under the
moon.
Nothing to make a shadow in the yellow nfternoon.
Only ?! ? breathless sunshine, as I looked out all
forlorn,
Only ti.e rustle, rustle, as I walked among the
corn.
I When I fell sick with pining wo didn't wait any
But moved away from the com lands out to thin
river shore.

like mad
Over the bridge and up the road?Farmer ltouf's

"Morgan's men are coming, Fran, they are galloping
up this way.

behind.
He swee< s nn all the horses, every horse that he
can find:

With bowie-knives and pistols are galloping up the
The lad rode down the valley and I stood still at
the door:
The baby laughed and prattled, playing with spools
onthe tioor.
Kentuck was out in the pasture, Conrad, my man,
was gone,
Near, nearer. Morgan's men were galloping, galloping
on
Sudden I picked up baby and ran to the pasture
44 Kentiii-K I called, "Kentucky!" She knew nie
ever so far,
I led her down io the gully that turns oil thereto
the right.
And tied her there to the bushes, her head was just
out of sight.
As I ran back to the log-house, at oncc there came
a sound,
The sound of hoofs, galloping hoofs, trembling
over the (.'round.
Coming into the turnpike Tout from the White
Woman tilcn.
Morgan, Morgan, the raider, and Morgan's terrible
men.
As near they drew, and nearer, my heart beat fast
in alarm.
But still I stood in the doorway with baby on my
arm.
They came; they passed; with spur and whip in
haste they "sped along.
Morgan, Morgan, the raider, and his band six hundred
strong.
Weary they looked and jaded, riding by night and
\ Dy day.
Pressing on east to the river, many long miles
away.
To the border strip where Virginia runs up into the
west.
And fording the I'pper Ohio before they could stop
to rest.
On like the wind they hurried and Morgan rode in
advance;
Bright were his eyes like live coals as he gave me a
sideways glance.
And I was just breathing freely after my choking
pain
When the last one of the troopers suddenly drew
his rein.
Frightened I was to death, sir, I scarce dared look
in his face
As he asked for a drink of water and glanced about
the place.
I gave him a cup, and he smiled?'twas only a boy,
you see,
Faint and worn, with dim blue eyes; and he'd sailed
on the Tennessee.
Only sixteen he was, sir, a fond mother's only son:
Off "and away with Morgan before his life had begun;
The damp drops stood on his temples, drawn was
his boyish mouth,
And I thought me of the mother waiting down in
the South.
Oh ! pluck he was to the backbone, sir, and clear
grit through and through;
Eoasted and bragged like a trooper, but the big
words wouldn't do?
The boy was dying, sir,dying, as plain as plain could
be,
, Worn out by his ride with Morgan upfront the Tennessee.
I
But when I told the laddie that I, too, was from the
South.
Water came in the dim eyes and quivers around the I
mouth.
"Do you know the Blue Grass' country?''he wistful
"began to say;
Then swayed like a willow sapling, and fainted dead
away.
I had him into the Ion house and worked and
brought him to,
1 fed him and I coaxed him as I thought his
mother'd do;
And when the lad got better and the noise in his
head was cone,
Morgan V men were miles away, galloping, galloping
on.
"Oh! I must go," he muttered, I must be up and
away,
Morgan. Morgan is waiting me, oh, what will Morgan
say.'"
But I heard a sound of tramping and kept him back
from the door.
The ringing sound of horses' hoofs which 1 had
heard before.
And on, on came the soldiers?the Michigan cavalry?
And fast they rode and black they looke- galloping
rapidly.
v They had followed hard on Morgan's track, they had
followed day and night,
But of Morgan and Morgan's raiders they had never
caught a sight.
|L'..
And rich Ohio sat startled through all those summer
days.
For strange, wild men were galloping over her broad
highways,
Now, here, now there, now seen, now gone, now
nortn, now west, now fast.
Through river val'cv* i:nd corn-land farms, sweeping
away her be.-t.
A bold ride and a long ride, but they were taken at i
li.su
They had al most reached the river by galloping hard
and fast,
Bnt the boys in blue were upoiuji'ieni ere ever they

Well, I kept the boy till evening?kept him against
his will.
But he was too weak to follow, and lay there pale j
and still.

When Conrad came in the evening the moon was
shining high;
Baby and I were both crying?I couldn't tell him
why?
But a battered suit of rebel gray wa-< hanging on

Oratory on Inanimate Objects.
A law student is reported to have ,
been laughed out of L;ilayettt\ Ind., |
because detected in the act of airing I
his eloquence to his lather's wood-pile. |
As if there was anything to be ashamed j
of in this surt of practice, or a man !
could be perfect in any gift without :
exercising it. Henry M. lirackenbride, ;
in his very interesting " Recollections," |
mentions the fact that when he first
came to the bar in Baltimore, in 1808
and succeeding years, it w;is his custom
to cross over to " AVhetstone
Point" (the busiest part of Locust
P. int to-day), and there exercise himself
in declamation under the shelter of
*ome tall hedgerows. One day, as he
was entering his bosky dell, he found
some one speaking in advance of him.
and, approaching with precautic n, |
found the great William Pinkney rehearsing
with care every point, sentence
and gesture of a speech which,
next day, he delivered in court as impromptu.
Pinkney was at this time
in the zenith of his fame?the only
American lawyer with an European
reputation?and he owed his great distinction
to his assiduous labor and
practice.?Baltimore American.
Indian Honesty.
Helen Hunt relates the following in
the Ctntury, of the remnant of the
~ Mission Indians of San Pasqual, in i
California: "During the afternoon
H". the Indians were continually coming
; and'going at the shop connected with
the inn where we had stopped, some
" fo.ur miles from the valley. The
keeper of the shop and inn said he always
trusted them. They were ' good
pay.' 'Give them their time and
they'll always pay, and if they die
' their relations will pay the last cent.'
Some of them he would' trust any time
as high as twenty dollars.'"
Statistics show that the growth of
?: timber in Kansas is yearly increasing
beyond the consumption.

THE STOLEN NOTE. J
Except that he indulged too freely j
in the use of the intoxicating cup, j
John "Wallace was an honest, high-!
minded and extraordinary man. His
one great fait hung like adark shadow
over his many virtues. lie meant j
well, and when he was sober he did
well.
He was a hatter by trade, and by
industry and thrift iie had secured
money enough to buy the house in
which lie li\e<l. lie hail purchased it
several years before for $'*,0 0. paying
$1,001) down, and securing the balance
by mortgage to the seller.
The mortgage was almost due at the
time circumstances made me acquainted
with the affairs of the family. Hut
Wallace was ready for the day; he had 1
saved up the money; there seemed to
be no possibility of an accident. 1 was !
well acquainted with Wallace, having j
done some little collecting and drawn j
up legal documents for him. One day
his daughter Annie came to mv oilice :
in great distress, declaring that her
father was ruined, and that they
should be turned out of the house in
which they lived.
" Perhaps not. Miss Wallace," said
I. trying to console her, and give tin;
affair, whatever it was. a bright aspect.
" What has happened?"
"My father," she replied. 'had the
money to pay the mortgage on the i
house in which we live, but it is all i
.. i
gone now.
"Has he lost it?"
"I don't know. I suppose so. Last
week he drew two thousand dollar-; ]
l'rom the bank and lent it to .Mr. I
Bryce lor ten days."
" Who is Mr. BryceV"
" lie is a broker. My father got ac- j
rpiainted with him through deorge J
Chandler, who boards with us, and i
who is Mr. Bryce's clerk."
"Does Mr. Bryce refuse to pay it." I
"lie says lie has paid it."
14 Well, what is the trouble, then?"
"Fat her says he has not paid it."
"Indeed! But the note will prove
that he has paid it. Of course, you
have the note':"
"No. Mr. Bryce has it."
"Then, of course, he has paid it V'
"I suppose lie has, or lie could not
have the note."
* What does your father say V"
" He is positive that he never received
the money. The mortgag.*, he j
says, must be paid to-morrow."
"Very singular! Was your father?" j
I hesitated to use the unpleasant!
word, which must have grated harshly j
on the ear of the devoted girl.
"Mr. Bryce says father was not1
nuiteriffht when he Paid him, but not I
1 O very
bad.'
" 1 will see your father "
"He is coining here in a few liniments;
1 thought I would see you lirst ;
and tell you the facts I e'ore he eame." j
" 1 do not see how llryce could have j
obtained the note unless he paid the i
money. "Where did your father keep j
it?" '
" lie gave it to me, and I put it in j
the secretary."
" Who was in the room when you
put it in the se. retary ?"
"Mr. Uryce, (Jtorge Chandler, niv 1
father and myself."
The conversation was here interrupted
by the entrance of Wallace, lie j
looked pale and haggard, as much |
from the effects of anxiety ;is from
the debauch from which lie was recovering.
"She has told you about it, I suppose?"
said he. in a very low tone.
"She has."

thousand dollars was a large sum for i
him to accumulate in his little busi- i

would be a misfortune which one must j
undergo to appreciate it.
"What passed between you on that
day V"
" Well, 1 merely stepped into his ;
oiliee?it was only the day bif r;yesterday?to
teil him not *o forget to j
have the money for me by to-morrow, i

to the bank to draw a check for two j

" What does the clerk say about it'r" |
"lie says Mr. liryce remarked when
he sent him that he was going to pay
me the money."
".lust so."
"Andwhen George came in he went

and did not offer to pay me the j
money."
"Iladyou the note with you?"
"Xo; now I remember, lie said he I
supposed I had not the note with me :
or he would pay it. I told him to |
come in the next day an 1 I would j
have it ready?t! at was yesterday. |
WttB I cameto-foak for the note it |
could not. he found. Annieand ii'iuvr,1
hunted the house all over."
" You told Ilryce so."
"1 did. lie laughed, and showed me
his note, with his signature crossed
over with ink and a hole punched i
through it."
"It is plain, Mr. Wallace, that he
paiu you me muiic*, <i? uucgi-u, >/i u.i^
obtained fraudulent possession of the .
note, and intends to cheat you out of j
the amount."
"He never paid me," he replied, i
(innly.
"Then he has f-audulently obtained
possession of the note. What sort of;
a person is that Chandler who boards :
with you?"
"A fine young man. Bless you, lie j
would not do anything of the kind."
" I am sure he would n. t," repeated ;
Annie, earnestly.
"How else could Bryce obtain the
note but through him? What time
dot-she come home at night?"
"Always at teatime. lie never goes
out in the evening."
"But, father, he did not come home i
till 10 o'clock the night before you I
went to Bryce's. lie had to stay in
the office to post books, or something i
Ui wio iwuu.
"IIow did he get in?"
"lie lias a night key."'
"I must see Chandler," said I.
"So harm in seeing him,"' added
Mr. "Wallace; " I will go for him."
In it few moments he return; d with
the >oung man Chandler, who, in the
conversation I had with him, manifested
a very lively interest in the so- i
lution of the mystery, and professed
himself ready to do anything to for-!
ward my views.
"When diil you return to the house |
on Thursday night?"
' A limit t welve."
Twelve !" said Annie. "it was not;
more tluin ten when I heard you." j
"The (dock struck twelve as 1;
turned the corner of the street," re- j
plied ("handler, positively.
" I certa n y heard some one in the I
front room at ten," said Annie, lo ?king |
with astonishment at those around
her.
" We're getting at something," said j
I. "llow did you get in?"
The young man smiled as he glanced j
at Annie, and said:
" On arriving at the door I found I [
had lost my night-key. At that moment
a watchman hap| ened along and 1
I told him my situation. He knew
me, and taking a ladder from an un-1
finished house opposite placed it against j
one of the second story windows, and <.
I entered in that way."
' Good.. Xow who was it that was j
heard in the parlor unless it was IJrvce j
or one of his accomplices? He must j
have taken the key Irom your pocket, i
Chandler, and stoha the note from the I
secretary. At any rate, I will charge I
him with the crime, let what may haj>-1
pen. Ieriiaua jitr win ivuiwo ?vucu
h;trd pushed."
Acting upon this thought, I wrotest
lawytr's letter?' demanded again a
you"" etc.?which was immediately
sent to Mr. Bryce. Cautioning the
parties not to speak of the affair, 1 dismissed
them.
Bryce came.
"Well, sir, what have you to say
against me?' he asked stitlly.
"A claim on the part of John Wallace
for ?2,000," I replied, poking over j
my papers and appearing perfectly indifferent.
"Paid it," he said, short as pie-cru>t.
"Have you?" said I, looking him
sharply in the eye.
The rascal quailed. I saw that hu
was a villain.
"Nevertheless, if within an hour
you do not pay me $2,000, and $100
for the trouble and anxiety you have
caused my client, at the end of the
next, hour vou will be lodged in iail to
answer a criminal charge."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"I mean what I say. Fay, or take
the consequences."
It was a hold charge, and if he had
looked like an honest man I should not
have dared to make it.
" I have paid the money, I tell you,"
said he; " I have the note in my possession;'
4 Where did you get it?"
' I <jot it when I paid the?"
" When you feloniously entered the
house of John Wallace on Thursday
night at 10 o'clock and took the said
note from the secretary."
' You have no proof," said he,
grasping a chair for support.
"That is mv lookout. I have no
time to waste. Will vou pav or go to
jail?"
lie saw that the evidence I had was
loo strong lor ins ueniai, ajm ue urnv
his check on the s| ot for twenty-one
hundred doll irs, and alter begging me
not to mention the all'air lie sneaked
oil".
I cashed the check and hastened to
Wallace's house. The reader may
judge with what satisfaction he
received it, and how rejoiced was
Annie and her lover. Wallace insisted
that 1 sln>uld take slO<> for my trouble,
but I was magnanimous to keep only
sjii. Wallace signed the pledge, and
was ever after a t< mperate man. He
died a few years ago, leaving a handsome
property to Chandler and his
wife, the marriage between him and
Annie having taken place shortly afjter
the above-narrated circumstances occurred.
Clolhiiur and Climate.
We are caught by a cold wave while
thinly dressed, and a \i< lent cold is tlie
< ons< quence, or \ve go out on a cool
morning warmly drcs.se I, and the sun
suddenly blazes out and we are carried
to the hospital " overcome with heat."'
Tiie ell'ort to adapt our clothing to
in. c t the exigencies of the climate is
constantly made by thousands, not to
say millions, of our people; but it as
constantly proves to be a failure. U'e
cannot adapt our daily clothing to the
possible freaks of the weather, and it
is with a full knowledge of this fa"t
that i'rol'es-or I'arstow, of Chicago,
has adopted the opposite process, and
now recommends people to wear the
same clothing all t he year round,- and
t > let the weather suit itself to the
clothing.
This plan is the result of careful inVi.et
;.r!itifin< In* tlw> t>rf)'t'p<5's(ir
upon himself, ami extending throughout
an entire year. He found that on
ninety-two days when he ha I put cn
thin clothing in the expectation of a
war.n day the weather had turned out
t<? lie cold: that T51 times he had put
on warm clothes in expectation of a
c??ld day, and had been terribly oppressed
by the heat. On the other
hand, he found that while wearing the
same clothes day after day the weather
coin ided with them oOi times, leaving
but sixty days in the entire year in
which lie was unsuitably dressed,
lie therefore claims to have demonstrated
that it is hitter to let the climate
adapt itself to one's clothes than
it is to try to adapt one's (Tithes to the
climate. The same great truth is appliid
by Professor i:arstow to the urn
brella. lie earries an umbrella every
day in the yeir. and is calied upon to
use it 011 nimty-thrie days in that
period. Whereas when he followed
the rule of carrying an umbre.la only
when lie thought it was going to rain
he was caught sixty-four times without
iin mnlir.'ll:! in rnin-stornis. :inil
carried it on 212 days that turned out
to be fair.
The professor's advice is that we
should wear h<avy flannel under
clothes and light upper clothes from
m" v-sir's end t the ?!!? r. Of <ourse,
theie will be si lew days when tlx man
who dresses in this way will 1 e rather
cold, and a few other days when he
will be uncomfortably warm He will,
however, lind that the weather will
coincide with his clothing* at least
three times as often sis the wisest
meteorologist can possibly induce his
clothing to coincide with the weather.

A Problem iu Fiji lit,'.
A Loiid >n lettf r says that an interesting
discussion is at present going
on among s ientiti - engineers in regard
to the Might of birds, which hit-: considerable
hearing upon the llying-ina
chine question. It is a matter of oljservation
that birds, without ;iny
movement of their outstretched wings,
and without any apparent muscular
exertion, are enabled to rise in the air
and to nu.ve laterally even against the
.1 moiliic* /*? <n*i>mli /if i.liiicn
Willi I. J lit; I1IUUIIO U|'ViuitM* v*. VMVUV
movements is a mystery, unci scientists
are trying to (lis -over the secret. The
most plausible theory is that the wings
may be placed in such a position as to
divert a current of air from its normal
course until it represents two sides of
an angle, of which the apex is the
hinder portion of the bird's body. If
that be the case?say the theorists?
there would be really two currents of
air coming into < o lision at the apex,
the result of which would be a pressure
upon the body of the bird at that
point, urging it forward with force far
gr< aler than (in first thought might be
supposed. The smoothness of the
ft athors in but one direction reduces
t > a minimum all opposition to a forward
movement. Kxperiments are
n;>w being carried out with mechanical
contrivances to demonstrate the correctness
of the theory, and it is stated
that the investigators are in a fairway
to a discovery <>f the cause of the phenomenon,
and also to a solution of the
llying-machine question.

was waged a perpetual warfare. The
I'tes, if anything, more cruel and un-1
' scrupulous than their neighbors of the
| lowlands, always dwelt in mountain I
: fastnesses, from which they would j
swoop down from time to time, carry!
ing-oll' the ponies and otlier valuables
i of the Cheyennes and Arapahoe*, pro-1
j voking each time short battles, in !
! which they were generally victorious, j
i In the spring of 1.S47 a considerable !
j band of I'tes were encamped on the j
banks of the lake on the exact spot
i where the town now stands. The j
j snows of the past winter had left the j
j trails siillieiently 1 are, and the stock of i
j ponies and other luxuries was getting 1
; very low, so a considerable portion of I
J the warriors were called together one I
| fine morning by their chief and haj
rangued on the duty they owed to their i
i tribe to inliict punishment on their !
' hereditary enemies, and get some ]k>- j
j nies, alter which the line of march ;
: was taken for the distant plains. After j
several days of marching the enemy 1
I was surprised in a grove of cotton-1
i wood on the banks of the Platte, a few j
j miles below where. Denver now stands,
| which was the favorite camping and
hunting ground of all the plain In-J
dians. stealing stealthily upon their,
foe the attack was made in the gray of ;
the early dawn. Although aroused j
from their slumbers thus uncxpect- |
edly a vigorous defense was made, and j
the battle raged until tlie sun was high ;
in the heavens, when the attacking j
party, being repulsed, retreated, not
I efnnninrr until t.hwv h:ul reached their !
mountain home on the lake. In their ,
lliglit, however, they carried oil', be-1
side several of the coveted ponies, the j
fair ' JStar of the Night," the favorite j
daughter of the Arapahoe chieftain. \
As soon as the great loss was discov-!
ered all of the young warriors, turning
for revenge, clamored for the warpath.
But little time was occupied in
the funeral dance over the half dozen
who had been slain in the battle, when
the pursuit was began with a vow
from each that no halt should 1 e made i
until the enemies were punished and !
the maiden rescued. Silently, like an
immense serpent crawling through the
defiles and canons, the faint moonlight
casting weird shadows from the i
cliffs above, now wending around i

their course, following closely in the ;
ra il of the despoilers. On the third I
day, just as the dawn was breaking,'
they came upon the camp of the j
enemy, who, tired with the fatigues of !
their long inarch and battle, were i
sleeping soundly. Like a whirlwind i
of destruction was poured the arrows'
of the avengers into the bodies of the
( sleepers, and many of them never
! awoke to consciousness. A stubborn
resistance, however, was made by the :
I'tes, and the battle lasted the whole j
day through. The latter, as a measure j
of safety, placed all tlie squaws and j
pa;ipooses in the camp in the ea-:o;s
I belonging to the tribe, ;::il directed]
: them to proceed to the center of the j
j lake to await the issue of the light. As j
i the day wore on, however, the sky be- !
I nonw. inrow.Qi.t > f nri.lim iriil
j and one by one the frail barks were j

j of frightened women and ch^ren not I
| a soul remained. The l'te> received a
I terrible punishment, for out of the six
| score of warriors composing the band !
j but few escaped to tell the tale to the I
other bands of the distant West. The j
* victors, flushed with their victory, re- !
[ turned to their beloved plains and were j
never afterward troub ed by these
I dreaded enemies.
Since the day of the battle the place j
has ever been regarded by the Indians j
as haunted by the spirits of those who ,
I nprishwl there, the somrhin<? of the I
j wind as it moans through the tall pines
around the lake being, in the super>ti!
tious minds of these sons of the forest,
i the cries of and shrieks of the women
and children drowned <>n that fateful
day. Recent events would seem t<?
lend some color to the Indian theory
that an uncanny spell hovers over the j
place, and Grand Lake, with all itsnat- j
ural beauties of mountain and lake, '
I will ever carry with its mention the j
; memory of fiendish deeds and scenes j

The Turkish grocer, conspicuous by :
his snow-white turban and his flowing |

and one day, in his agony, rushed into
her house with a large sewing needle
and, before the woman had time to

arm, drawing blood in each instance,
and then rubbed his hand on the blood
and ran off. The poor woman came

advice to the applicants for editorial

inasmuch as applicants are rather
numerous ahout this time, is worth
heeding. "There is no room lor men
in journalism," it says, " but there is
room for work." The applicant waits
on 1 he editor, hat in hand, and the
editor gives him the stereotyped
answer: " No additional help wanted
in this oilice." If a stranger succeeds
it will not be by pushing himself in,
but by presenting his writing. Editors,
as a rule, take interest, not in individuals,

Putting Up a Job by Wliirli IliH Parent*
Think Nnnilnv Wns Saturday?What
Happened in t'oimeqiiewe.
" Hello," said the grocery man to
the bad boy, as lie came In looking sick
at heart, and all broke up, "How is
your muscle this morning ?"
"All right enough," said the boy,
with a look of inquiry, as though wondering
what was coining next. "Why?"
" Oil, nothing, only I was going to
grind the hatchet, and some knives
and things, this morning, and I thought
maybe you would like to go out in the
shed and turn the grindstone lor me
to develop your muscles. Turning a
grindstone is the healthiest thing a boy
can do."
" That is all right enough." said the
uiiu nuy, as ne look up a sweet ciuukci.
" but please take a good look at me.
Do I look like a grindstone boy ? Do
I resemble a good little boy that can't
say 'no,' and goes off and turns a grindstone
half a day for some old duller,
who pays him by giving him a h indfid
ot green currants, or telling him
he will be a man some day. and the
boy goes off one way with a lame back,
while the good man goes the otner
way with a sharp scythe, and a chuckle
at the sottness of tl:e boy? You are
mistaken in me. I have passed the
grindstone period, and you will have
to pick up another sardine who has
never done circular work. Not any
grindstone for Hennery, if you please."
" You are getting too smart," said
the grocery man, as he charged a pound
of sweet crackers to the hoy's father.
"But what is it about your pa and ma
being turned out of the church? I
hear tliat they scandalized themselves horribly
last Sunday."
"Well, you see,* me and my chum
put up a job on pa to make him think
Sunday was only Saturday and ma she
fell into it and I guess we are all going
to pet fired from the church for work- t
ing on Sunday. You see they iliiln't
go to meetin' last Sunday because ma's ;i
new bonnet hadn't come, and Monday 'i
and Tuesday it rained, ;ind the rest of
the week was so muddy no one called, B
or they could not get anywhere, so j
Monday I slid out early and got the
daily paper, and on Tuesday my chum
he got the paper off the steps and put
Monday's paper in its place. I watched '
when they were reading it, but they s
did not notice the date. Then "Wednes- 1
day we put Tuesday's paper on the
steps and pa said that it seemed more ?
than Tuesday, but ma she got the 1
paper of the day before and looked at s
the date and said it seemed so to her *
but she guessed they had lost a day
somehow. Thursday we got Wednes- c
day's paper on th ? steps, and Friday j
we rung in Thursday's paper, and t
Saturday my chum he got Friday's i
paper on the steps, and ma said *
she guessed she would wash tomorrow,
and pa said he believed i
he would hoe in the garden and j
get the weeds out so it would (
look better to folks when they went ?
by Sunday to church. Well, Sunday i
morning came, and with it Saturday's
daily paper, and pa barely glanced it (
over as he got on his overalls and w?nt ,
out in his shirt sleeves a hoeing in the j
front garden. And 1 and my chum j
helped ma to carry water to wash. .
She said it seemed like the longest
week she ever saw, but when we
brought the water, and took a plate of
pickles to the hired girl that was down {
with the mumps, we got in the lilac 1
bushes and waited for the curtain to
rise. It wasn't long before folks began
going to church and you'd a dide
laughing to see them all stop in front
of where ma was washing and look at '
her, and then go on to where pa was <
hoeing weeds and stop and look at him, i
and then drive cn. After about a 1
dozen teams had passed 1 heard ma ask ]
pa if he knew who was dead, as there J
nnut lm q fnnpml sninnwhcrp. I'ji had 1
just hoed into a bumblebees' nest and said
he did not know of any that was
dead, but knew sonic that ought to be, j
and ma she did not ask any foolish i
questions any more. After about
twenty teams had stopped, ma she gut
nervous and asked Deacon Smith
if he saw anything green; lie
said something about desecration
and drove away. Deacon
lirown asked pa if he did not think
he was setting a bad example before j
his boy, but pa he said he thought it j
would be a good one if the boy could
only be hired to do it. Finally ma got I

tIFE'S TRtfE SIGNIFICANCE
Deeper than all sense of seeing
Lies the secret source of being,
And the soul with truth agreeing
Learns to live in thoughts and deeds;
For the life is more than raiment,
And the earth is pledged for payment
Unto man for all his needs.
Nature is our common mother.
Every living man our brother,
Therefore lei us serve each other;
Not to meet the law's behests,
But because through cheerful giving
We shall learn the art of living;
And to live and serve is best.
Life is more than whit man fancies
Not a game of idle ehir.ces;
But it steadily advances
Up the nigged heights of time,
Till each complex wob of trouble,
Every sad hope's broken bubble
Hath a meaning most sublime.
More of religion, less profession:*
Mure of firmness, less concession:
More of freedom, less oppression,
In the church and in thy state;
More of life ntid less of fashion;
Morj of love and less of passion:
Hint will make us good and grea\
When irue hearts, divinely gifted,
From the chaff of error sifted,
On their crosses are uplifted,
Phall the wcrld most clearly see
That eirth's greatest time of trial
Calls for holy self denial,
Calls on men to do and be.
But forever and forever
Let it be the soul's endeavor
Love from hatred to dissever.
And in whate'er wo do,
Won by love's eternal beiuty,
To our higiest sense of duty
Evermore be firm anil true.

Mr. Thomas A. Howard, of Honey Grove,
'iinnin County, Texas, under date of April 5,
SKI. writes as follows:
"1 have been suffering during several years
roni severe illness, and a general breaking
own of my physical system, and have tried
lie treatment and prescriptions of many
ioctors far and near, and traveled to the Hot
iprings and other mineral springs famous
?>r their remedial qualities, drinking the
raters and bathing systematically in their
billing depths, but all to no avail, as Isteadily
ailed m heailh; and although informed by
uy physicians that my ailments and weakiesses
were the result of kidney disease of a
iangerous character, they could give me
lothing to cure me. During the past two
ears my sufferings at times were dreadful,
nd I had the most indescribable pains in the
egions about the kidneys, the paroxysms of
irhich were so severe as to render it impossi>le
for me to sleep. While in this deplorable
nd discouraged condition I was persuaded
o try Hunt's Kemorty, ana arier using ies?
han half a bottle my great sufferings and
aroxysms of pain were entirely relieved, and
could sleep better and longer than I had in
wo years before, and although I am now on
ny third bottle only ray improvement is very
vmarkable, and I regret that I did not know
>f the wonderful curative powers of Hunt's
lemedy before, as it would have saved me
ears of suffering. I heartily recommend it
o nil afllicted with any kidney disease or
lisease of the nrinary organs."

In the^e days of rowing giants and athletic
heroes fine physical development is more
observed th n over before since the time of
the Athenian same*. A man who shows the

more than in the days of our anoestore
possibly because there are few specimens of
wdl-developed manhood than then. An
emissary of this paper met a magnificent
specimen of physical power a few days since
in the person of Dr. A W. McNames, of
Waterloo. His muscles, which showed nn'.-uul
de\eloi)i)ient, were as hard as wood.
At his request the writer sought to pinch him
in tiio arms or legs, but found it wholly impossible.
A realization of what is meant by !
; 11 iro i man wa= fully made manifest.
" Have you always been so stalwart as i
this V" inquired the news gatherer.
"Not by any means," was the reply.
"When a young man I was always strong
and activo and felt that I could accomplish
anything. This feeling so took pospyssion
of me on one occasion that I attempted to
lilt a box which four men found it imj ossible
to ii o;e. I succeeded ia placing it on
(he wagon, but in two minutts from that
time I was unconscious and remained so for
hours and when I leoovered consciousness I
\nmifj.cl n Inrtrn nnnntitv of bloodi FrOm I
ih it tiny I began to grow weak and Bickly. I
believid t'mt l had suffered some internal
i ijury nnd ixperiencid a general debility,
which seemed similar to the effects produced
by malaria. My back was very weak.
I had no appetite, nnd at times loathed food.
My 1 pi were parched and cracked. My head
felt a< though it were entirely opm at ths
'op and it pnined n.e on the side intensely.
In six weeks' lime I had fallen away from
:01 pounds to less than 170. I was in a most
w. etched oondition. I was completely discouraged."
What did the doctors say abont you ?"
'" Aliro t everythi ig. I conoulted no less
than six di lerent physicians. They all
t: e itcd me and none did n.e any good. At
th..t time I was suffering intensely. I could
not sit upr g it but was obliged to rest in a
cramped, uneasy position. I was compelled.
! to urinate everv live minntes, and I passed
over three quarts every day. I was not
living. I was existing.
One night (how well I remember it!) my
wife 1 ad imtthe children in bed, when the
feeling came over me that I should live bat
a very short time. My wife and I talked
matters all over, and I give the minutest diicctions
as to what she should do after I was
gone. I was not in a flighty condition by
any means for the doctor, on leaving town
the diy following, bade me good bye, faying
l.e in vor exj ected to see me ajjain, for I was
suffering with Bright's disaase of the kidneys
in its la.?t sta'je*. Within the next few days
morelhaniw nty friends came to bid me
gjod-bye. Among the number was Dr.
John L. Clark. He asked me what I had
usod in the way of medicines. I told him.
He then recomxended a remedy of which I
h id heard much, but about which I was very
skeptical. If faith were an element of
power it ccrtainly was lacking in my case."
" And so j ou did not try it ?"
"Oil the contrary, I did try it and to my
surprise it resrred to go to just the spot.
Indeed, it was the most palatable thing I had
tviv rvirmth fVvr mnntliQ. Trelished
it."
" And did it cure yon ?"
' Do I lcok as if it did ?"
"Yes, indeeJ. What was it,
" Wur..er's Safe Cure."
" A proprietary medicine!"
' Of course. What of that? I suppoie I
cnce had as threat a prejudice against advertised
medicines a-s any one could have.
\\ hen I was studying meJicine at Ann Arbor,
Mich., I usid to vow with the rest of the
class (hat we wo \Id fight all such remedies
at all times. When a man comes down to
the last hour, however, and bids hiswite and
fiiends good-by6, such bigoted prejudices as
lhe.-e all vntiish, 1 can assure you, and any
remedy that can cure is gladly welcomed."
" And how have you been since then ?"
"As well?or better, than before."
"Do you still etert your strength?"
"Certainly. But I do not over-exert, as
formerly. My strength is increasing every
day, and my health is number one. I know
that my life was saved by Warner's Sare
Cure, and I be ieve that it is the best medicine
that was ever compounded by an/
chemist or physician. I am wil'ing the doctors
should sneer at me for such a statement
if they c'.ioo e, but I h ive proven its truth,
and am prepaied '.o stand by it."

Whether inherited or developed by circunmtinces,
misfortune or neglect, if not snppreg ted, progress's l.j

enlarge, the skin breaks out in sores and nlcor.i, the
