The Weekly the True Power.
The tendency of the daily paper, said
Gilbert M. Hitchcock, editor of the
Omaha World Herald, at the recent
banquet of the Missouri Democratic
Editorial Association, is now toward
commercialism. No matter what may
be the aspirations of the editorial department.
the business office tolds the
Daner down from a standpoint of power
and adds to Its strength commercially.
The weekly paper is the coming power,
but democracy still has its advocates
In a limited few of the dailies.
Macedonian Sonjj*.
In a former letter, writes a correspondent
of the London Daily News,
I made some allusions to patriotic
songs, to which I often 'listened of an
evening in some Macedonian villagesongs
of lament for slain patriots and
In which Mount Pirin is personified,

rAnd off the fellow swaggers. "From
the hills there comes a shepherd," the
dancers sing; "he' drives before him
two hundred sheep and a hundred
goats." And he wears a fur cap. In
his hand he carries a bouquet. He goes
' to "the maidens are washing their
linen. To each of them he gives a
flower; but to me (sings Callina) also

Study of Volcarlc Eruption*.
When a volcano vomits forth streams '
of lava some very curious, as well as
remarkable, freaks of nature are observable.
It requires scientific research
of the lava beds months and '
even years after an upheaval before all
the reliable data can be collected to reveal
the whole story of the explosion. |
The eye-witnesses of such events are
not always the most reliable reporters.
Fear and excitement make them exaggerate
and distort phenomena, and j
scientists are averse to accepting their
stories unless verified by subsequent
appearances of the rocks, ashes and
lava beds. Every volcanic action, how- |
ever, leaves indelible marks of its rise

the story, chapter by chapter, as they
unearth the different parts of it. It
is impossible, however, to make a thorough
examination of the lava beds
until a long time after the explosion
because of the slow process of cooling
off. The top crust of the lata cools i
within a short time, but underneath
the heat is retained for an extraor- !
dinary time. This top crust of lava is
a poor conductor of heat, and it does
not permit of rapid evaporation from ,

Animal Snrwery.
I The, science of animal surgery and
' medicine is thus proving of the widest
benefit to our valuable cage animals
and birds ar.d to those which are kept
In our homes as pets. The drugs and
medicines which are given to man to
combat diseases can in a modified way
prove of immediate beneat to the ani- !
mals under our charge. The study pf
the symptoms of sick animals has al'
way's been interesting and more
puzzling than those which the doctor |
observes among his human patients,
because there is no way for the animals j
to explain their pains. Yet, in a way,
there is an intelligent animal language
I which animal doctors are quick in interpreting.
Through their sympathy j
and observation they are quick in discovering
what the trouble is with the
creature?whether it is a stomach or
headache or pain in the throat or leg. '
In short, they have learned to enter
In such close sympathy with the ani- 1
mals that there is almost human inter- 1
course between them.

CONCERNING HUMILITY.
Loir in a town yard, grassy paved,
A humble dandelion grew.
Above her head tall lilacs waved,
Proud in their plumes of blue.
The dandelion's beaming face
Was upward turned, yet all in vain.
The lilac's "contemplated space
In haughty, cold disdain.
"Ah, well!" the dandelion sighed,
"Far rather would I lowly be
Than my blossoms high and wide
For ah the world to see.
And did a gentle little child
Ignore the lilac's higher claim
And pluck the dandelion mild?
No, reader; not the same.
Nor did a wicked youngster tear
The lilac bushes with his knife,
And leave the dandelion there
To lead the quiet life
Humble the dandelion lav,
_ Veiling her face in verclant screens,
Until a man came ny inai way
And dug her up for greens
In ostentatious vanity
The lilacs evermore aspired.
Therein they showed their sanity
And got themselves admired.
And this, dear reader, goes to show
That men don't gain thro* being swabs,
We musn't hold ourselves too low
If we should hold our iobs.

THE air of Arizona was dry and
stifling and the doors of Davis
County jail 6tood open to the
four winds of heaven, but
there was one padlocked cell in the
heard shanty, scarcely good enough
to pen a sheep in but quite good enough
for a horse thief, and it held Jim
Flack. The sheriff and his deputy were
playing poker and Jim was watching
them through his barred window, when
a woman walked in?it was Martina,
Jim Flack's wife?and with one loving
glance and a "howdy" to her husband
threw a loaf of bread on the table between
the sheriff and his companion.
The sheriff drew a formidable knife
from the back of bis belt and with
two sharp motions of the blade cut
the loaf into three pieces.
"Nary file nor shootin' iron there," he
said; "never left a dull spot on the
blade. Mis' Flack, you're a prime good
baker. Give him this loaf, dep."
Martina turned her back on the two
men, and like a flasn ner eyes telegraphed
something to Jim, but his
keen, handsome face gave not the
slightest token of response. The sheriff
had his eye on him, and he wasn't
going to give anything away. He was
allowed speak to his wife with the two
men watching and listening.
"How's the kids?" asked the prisoner.
"Peart" Martina's eyes filled with
tears. She was picturesque in her
youth and strength, with her sunburned
hair tumbling about her round,
honest face. Her cheeks glowed with
exercise and the heat of the day, and
there hung around her that indefinable
something that is the religion of
women who love. She looked* at her
Jim with longing and tears, but she
could not talk with those men listening.
Even desperadoes have their moments
of delicacy, but this sheriff and
his deputy had none.
"Don't whimper, little woman," said
the sheriff, rudely, "there's as good fish
in the sea as was ever caught. Hehe!"
"You'll spoil "yer pretty eyes, Mis'
Flack," raid the leering deputy.
Jim Flack d.vobled his brawny fist
and there was murder in his heart as
he heard the men chaffing his wife.
True, he had stolen horses, but that
was his only crime, and it had come
about through his being cheated in a
horse trade, and he had stolen to get
even, not remembering that two wrongs
can never make a right. But be would
not have kicked an enemy when he
was down, and his reverence for women
and children was inborn. He had
Ijard work now to control his temper,
but at a look of caution from his wife
he managed to maintain a sullen
Eilence.
"Eat the middle of the loaf first,"
she said as she touched the bread, "it
are slack baked, as you like it, Jim." ,
When she had gone Jim took that
section of the loaf and broke it in
two. It was well that the sheriff and
his companion had become involved
lix a quarrel over their game, otherwise
they would have heard something
fall from the prisoner's band and roll
noisily on the floor. It "was a $20 gold
piece.
"She hev sold poor Jinny's colt,"
thought Jim as he picked up the
money. "It hev been baked inter the
bread, an' it means a bribe?yes, it do
?but whether for the sheriff or dep?or
?-hold on?mebbe both. Hello! Ef
Rhe ain't writ somethin' on it then I'm
a sucker."
The crooked white letters on the gold
piece had been written with a greased
stick after a method known in the
Civil War?just a few words which,
decipht-red easily by Jim, read:
"Jinny?Witches hill?to-night, dep."
He understood. Martina would have
Jinny, the finest and fleetest mare in
all the country round, at Witches Hill,
aiid be was to bribe the deputy to help
him escape. That mare was Martina's
?all she owned in the world?except
the children?and it b?id escaped confiscation
at the hands of the law by her
proven rigni. Jim Knew me saenix
had a personal dislike for lain and
:ould not be bribed, but be bad no fears
of tbe deputy. That officer would have
bartered his soul?had it been of commercial
value?for $20 and had felt the
jingle of many a bribe in his unclean
palm.
That night, covered by a revolver in
the hand of the deputy, Jim walked out
a free man. He had no intention of
getting off -without paying over the
money, but he had no confidence in
the man who was helping him and was
determined tha: he would not pay the
T*ri/>p until ho trns sure of freedom.
He had promised the a mount when
they reached Witches Hill, and had
given no intimation of being in possession
of any money.
Arrived at the hill, they found Jinny
there, tied to a tree. She whinnied J
with joy at the sight of Jim. There I
was r.o sign cf Martina or the children,
and for this he was very thankful, for
he could not have stood the parting.
He must ride for his life far away,
and they must not know where, till
his escape blew over. He commended
her good sense and vowed in his heart
to live a straight life for her sake
t norearter.
He had placed his hand on Jinny's
bridle when the deputy co.'larcd him.
"Pay up, man, pay up, or I'll save
you from a hanging, right now and
here. I don't risk my life for nothing.
Shell out and be quick if you've got
it. I don't see but you've fooled me
after all."
He cocked his revolver just as Jim
drew out the gold piece. The next
moment one quick shot sent Jim Flack
reeling into the dust, but it was not the
deputy who fired it. The sheriff had
tracked the two men to their rendezvous,
and now put up his gun and
6aid:
"See ef that jail breaker is dead and
done for!"
"He's dead enough," answered the
deputy, turning Jim over and shaking
with fear.
"Then we'll bury him like a soldiei
where he fell, and he'll tell no tales.
Much too good for such carrion. Get
to work."
Tliey (lug a shallow grave and laid
Jim in it. The gold piece was mado
tributary to military law?the sheriff
took it. When their work was finished
the deputy waited for orders. .
"Take the mare and ride for your
life, and see that you go dear of the
State?the farther you ride the safer
you'll be. And don't come back here
till I send for you."
The going of the deputy made no
stir and he never came back to tell
what he knew. Martina lives in her
little home and waits for news of
Jim. Her patient eyes have a strained
look from gazing long and eagerly after
every horseman or foot passenger in
sight on the long, straight road that
leads nowhere?and everywhere. Her
pretty brown hair is faded more than
ever?indeed, it has grown to a yellow
tint from the burning sun, and Jim's
kids have acquired her habit of standing
in the doorway of the shack and
from under a shielding arm watching,
watching. One of them is always on
the watch for "pap." What a welcome
would be his?if he ever came.?Mrs.

Breathltt'n River Loop.
As there Is more or less interest just
now in the- town of Jackson, Breathitt
County, Kentucky, let me mention one
fact in connection with the place which
may'bave been overlooked in the rush.
At Jackson, or in its immediate environs,
the small boy who finds it difficult
to throw a stone across a vacant lot, or
the baseball player who is making a
record when he throws a bail 115 yards
can stand within a few feet of the
Kentucky River and throw a stone or
a ball seven miles down the stream,
then turn around and throw one seven
miles up the stream. Doesn't seem to
be possible, does it? Yet it is, and I
have done it. Let me explain: The
Kentucky River at this point runs
among the hills, which are steep and
rocky, and at Jackson it strikes the
hills opposite the town on the upper
side and bounds back, so to speak, in a
great loop around a territory of bottom
land seven miles in circumference, coming
back to the lower side of the sharp
dividing ridge to within a few feet of
itself seven miles above by the measure
around. This ridge is 200 or 300
feet high, and is so narrow that one,
for 200 or 300 yards on its top must
walk carefully or he will slide into the
wat^r below. A tunnel sixty-eight feet
long has been cut under the "saddle"
and a mill at the lower end gets seven
miles-of fall in sixty-eight feet. There
are a good many rivers with loops in
them, but I know of none equal to the
Kentucky River at Jackson. ? Correspondent

The Derelicts on tlie Ocean.
The currents of the North Atlantic
Occan bear always on their ruffled surfaces,
year in and year out, at least
two score of derelicts?half sunk and
abandoned vessels that drift aimlessly
over the sea, helplessly, lonely, pitiful
menaces to navigation, as fatal to their
sister ships as sunken rocks, fog-bound
icebergs or hurricanes.
Why the currents of the North Atlantic
should be so plentifully laden with
?hese lonely carcasses of once gallant
ships, to say nothing of numerous
spars, tree trunks and misguided,
truant buoys, is not altogether because
that part of the sea is so full of commerce,
but on account of the nature
and direction of the currents themielves.
The waters of the whole ocean?of
all the oceans, for that matter?flow
slowly but surely through a grand system
of currents and counter currents
as regular as the cycles of the blood
in our veins, and the countries that border
on the seas, the fish that swim in
them, and the ships that sail over them
are fully as dependent on them. The
Gulf Stream, with its river of warm,
blue water, everybody knows, but that
is only wart of it. Where does the Gulf
Stream come from? That is a long
story that never has been all told, even
by the scientists and hydrographers.
Ecl-Llko Sharks.
Some years ago a fisherman on the
Georges Banks off the Maine coast, or
iu that vicinity, brought up a remarkable
fish twenty feet in length which
was entirely new to him. Considering
it a mere incumbrance it was thrown
overboard, but the catch was reported
and aroused great interest among naturalists;
so much so that a large sum
was offered to the fishermen to fish It
up again, which they tried to do without
success. The fish was a veritable
young sea seipent, and if such a fish
attained the length of fifty feet it
would well compare with the accounts
of sea serpents which are reported so
often. Since this occurrence several
eel-like sharks have been taken; long
serpentine-like creatures that when
large must be the sea serpents of the
deep sea, and have convinced observers
that the tales which have aroused
the credulity of people are not without
foundation, and that this mysterious
realm conceals strange and gigantic
forms which only rarely rise to the
surface. The eel-like sharks found are
in some instances luminous, emitting a
strange light over the entire surfaces?
the licht givers of the deep sea.

Teneriffe lace is the charming novelty
of the season. Just how much of it is
made by the natives of the cliff-bound
island, which is the largest of the
i Canary group, is a question. It is a
I fact, though, that the most characteristic
pattern of this lace suggests the
I conical peak of Teneriffe. In fact, the

; is that it looks equally well on a soft

Birds Absolutely Fearleas.
When the white man first visited
some of the islands of the Southern
Hemisphere, he found tnat many or tne
animals, especially the birds, were absolutely
fearless. Penguins, albatrosses
and others paid no attention
to the men as they walked along, and
when It was desired to photograph a
nest and eggs it was frequently necessary
to push the nesting albatross from
the nest, the bird merely pecking at
the intruder. Darwin describes doves
at one island he visited as apparently
unable to comprehend that man was
an enemy. The birds could be shoved
from the limbs before they moved, and
even attempted to alight upon the
heads of the men. In Kerguelen land
the birds in some of the extensive
rookeries refused to move as the men
strode along, holding their ground and
pecking so violently at the invaders
that they were forced to beat a retreat.

Doee Not Wear Uniform.
The one man around street car barng .
who is a big fellow these cays Is the
Inspector. He Is big on account of his
clotbes. He does not nave to wear a
uniform. While conductors and motormen
and starters and all the rest of the
bunch stand around clothed in garments
of stuffy blue cloth he struts
about in a nice striped suit and spotted
shirt. The only badge of his calling
is his cap, and by the time the passengers
have taken in the details of the

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to all girls whose work

poor, I could not sleep, and menstruation
was scantv and very painful. One
day when Buffering I commenced to
take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
