I NATURE'S UCrTENlNC TOUCHES. Yet still the irilding flowers would blow, The golden leaves would fall, The seasons come, the seasons go, And God be good to all. JAbove the graves the blackberry hrmg In bloom and green its wreath, lAnd harebells swung as if they rung The chimes of peace beneath. The beauty nature loves to share, The gifts she hach for all, The common light, the common air, || U ercrept tne graveyard 3 wau. It knew the glow of eventide. The sunrise and the noon. 'And glorified and sanctified It slept beneath the moonWith flowers or snowflakes for its sod, Around the seasons ran. And evermore the love of God . Rebuked the fear of man. Secure on God's all tender heart, Alike rest great and small; iWhv fear to lose our little part, When He is pledged for all? O fearful heart and troubled brain. Take hope and strength from this? That nature never hints in vain, Nor prophesies amiss. Her wild birds sing the same sweet stave, Her lights and airs are given Alike te playground and the grave, And over both is Heaven. ?Johu G.

I I * Giles Travis a misanthrope 11 H * and a miser- ^'ot tbat tliey IL knew liim, for lie never left jOOOCDCjfcK the high walls which surrounded his estate, and on ao account was any one allowed to enter his domain, save the necessary servants and tradesmen. One warm summer's afternoon Sir Giles was being drawn in his bath chair across the lawn, thence along a jiarrow pathway uutil the wall was reached. Under the tree there was a I-comfortable lor.nge chair, in which, with the help of his footman, Sir Giles took his seat. "Push me a little nearer the wall," he fcried, irritably. "Now you can go. Come back at 4 o'clock." The baronet gazed after the footman until he disappeared among the trees. He then proceeded to displace a stone near the bottom of the wall. His fingers groped around, and he gave a sigh of deep satisfaction. * "No letter. They will come, then." A quarter of an hour passed, and he tapped his Angers impatiently on the magazine which lay in his lap. "That's the boy," he muttered, as there' came a soft rustling of dried leaves. "She, is late." The voice was impatient. Sir Giles chuckled .-softly. "The impatience of youth." A glad cry was heard, the sound of a kiss, then another kiss. "The girl now," the old man said softly. Twenty years of solitude had left their marks on his face. As he listened to the love chatter of the young couple on the other side of tbe wall his face gradually softened. Not always had he been the recluse fcnd misanthrope. There was no prouder .inri hnnn'fM* man than Sir CHIps hnrl I been some twenty years ago. His life and hopes were centered in his son Jack, a fine, manly young fellow, such ?s -would gladden any father's heart. The quarrel was a sudden one. The reason?a woman. Hard words were exchanged, for they were both possessed of the Travis temper. A parting in anger and two months aftoriward news came of Jack's death. Not a line or message had been left for his lather. The blow was a terrible one to Sir Giles. He closed his heart to all human sympathy and retired to the seciu ion of Travis Towers. A few months afterward he was ?tricken with paralysis, and the long years had been wearisome with suffering and ennui. For the hist two -or three months a new interest had come into his life. The whole pretty love comedy seemed I to have been played within earshot. Wien first they met there was the difference of youth. Their voices at first were louder, but as their love increased their s?ats on the fallen tree Without the wall grew closer together, and their voices were lowered when they began to exchange sweet loving nothings. A week ago the boy had declared his passion. The old man's heart seemed to unfreeze and grow human again as he listened to the passionate pleading of the lover, the shy, timid answer, O nrl f ha f ran?!It?ecnc? +I10 f tt-apa IW&41U iuv t i v ?!t.?v.u liiOOVO ILiUU nuc CA" jrhanged. Only twice since that day had they met, and a cloud had appeared on love's horizon. "What did he say?" she asked, feagerly. "He refused absolutely," he answered, mournfully. "What reason did he gi\e, Jack?" she demanded, indignantly. ,? "Your guardian told me that I was a penniless adventurer, and that it was your money I was after," he replied, moodily. I "The wrotch! But it doesn't matter. [We c?.n marry without him." "I did not know you had so much money, dear one. You are rich and I have nothing." v "But we have love." ' "We can't live on that. It is true I have my profession, but I liava only just become a doctor, and it is an uphill game unless one has money to buy a practice. I have none;" "Did he not hold out anv honr>?" sho I asked, tremulouslj-. "Yes. He said that if I could prove to him that I had a practice which would bring in five hundred a jear he would give his consent. I must say that he is reasonable, but?" "Will it take you very long to gain auch a practice?" "Years." "Let us marry at once," she cried. Jrapulsiveiy. "I don't mind being poor." There was a silence and Sir Giles looked irritably at the hole. I "I have made up my mind, dear." i "I-s." "I an going away at once?to-mor row. You uiust forget me. It is noi fair to you." Thorp wns n sound of sobbing. "Don't cry, darling," he said, plead ingly. "The fool!" the baronet muttered. "I can't lot you go!" she cried, miser ably. "I will work hard?an?in time, per haps " The boy's voice broke. "Don't go to-morrow. Stay till Sat urday. It is only four days," she asked pleadingly. There was the sound of a passionate farewell, the rustle of leaves, and al was silence. Saturday afternoon came, and Sii Giles looked anxiously at the hole ir the wall. He took a large envelope anc placed it in th& hole. They came at last. Their words wen few and their voices tremulous. "The last time. Jack, that we shal meet here," she said, brokenly. "In the future, perhaps " "And I shall have no more use foi that dear little bole in the wall, when I have found so many love message* from my darling." She leaned down as she spoke. "Jack, there is a letter here," sh< cried, excitedly. "To Jack and Joan, with a lonely olc man's love," she read in wonder "Open it at once." With trembling fingers he broke th< seal. From the other side of the wall then came a hoarse but gleeful chuckle. Jack drew a legal looking doeumeni frc^> the envelope, which he began t< reau. "Good Heavens!" he cried at last "Am I mad?" "What is it?" "Old Dr. Rutherford has sold hi: practice to me." "To you?" "Yes. and the money has been paic -?2000." "Jack, what does it mean?" Again they hoard the hoarse chuckle There was even more glee in it. ******* Two vears have Dassed.

Piatt, ii Illustrated Bits. Can't Reslat 'Em. "Children are sometimes more cun ning than we think, and when I saj 'we,' I am speaking of the men whe have a right to know something of chil dren because of the parental responsi bilities they wear," said the man witl a couple of youngsters. "Close ob servation and experience have taughl me that disobedieuce, so far from beinj offensive, is sometimes a virtue, t virtue because of its cleverness anc because of the evident good nature ol the breach. It would, in my judgment be decidedly brutal in some circum stances to scold a child for disobedi ence. Disobedience should be offeusivc only when intended as an offense, wher it is a wilful and purposeful defiance of the parental injunction. I have a MSA in noint whirh will illustrate Der fectly -what I mean. My little girl is very fond of sausage. I thought she had consumed enough for one sitting and told her so. In a few seconds she had slipped around behind me, and showed her head up under my arm 'Papa,' she said, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, 'let's play dog!' and as she said it she threw out a chubbj hand and grabbed a piece of sausage and dashed away with it, laughing as if she thought it the finest joke of the season. What could I do? Stop the laughter by scolding, and suppress the evident good nature of it all? She flanked me and got away with the goods, and since it was evident she meant no offense, no disrespect by her disobedience, there was nothing for me to do but accept the situation and laugh and frolic in her dog's game with her. And so I did. Wouldn't you act in the same way when disobedience is put forth in such sunshiny garb?"? New Orleans Times-Democrat. Sight Through Bripk Walls. Dr. Paul Sollier, director of the Sanatorium for Nervous Diseases at Boulogne-sur-Seine, tells a remarkable story of sight through brick walls and around corners -which he is studying ia one of his patient3. The man. whose nervous trouble began as the result of falling from a train, is a good hypnotic subject, and is being treated by suggestion. In the course of treatment Dr. Sollier accidentally discovered that when hypnotized the man could see him when his back was turned. In order to test this remarkable "eyeless sight" the doctor made the following experiment: "Having as before plunged the man into a state of deep hypnosis, in the course of cerebral awakening. I went into a closet separated from the laboratory by a hall staircase over sixteeu feet wide, a wall fifteen and one-half inches thick, and preceded by a small vestibule having access to a gallery shut off by a glass door. When inside the closet I made a movement with my hand as if to draw him toward me, and immediately he rushed to the door of the laboratory. The noise he made because he was not allowed to go out at once apprised me of the success of the experiment."? New York Globe. f Something to Think Abont. How to live comfortably with one's neighbor?that is the problem; to avoid the knocks and frictions which draw lines to men's faces and toe often con tract tfieir souls, it is paradoxical, out true, that the larger the soul becomes the more room it creates for itself? a margin of quietness in which it remains untouched by petty jealousies and hurts. By the practice of charity and unselfishness a life builds for itself "more stately mansions" wherein it may dwell in peace. A song in one's heart, a smile upon one's lips, cheery, a wholesome message of good will on one's tongue are won> derful helps to all kinds of people, There are so many burdens of sorrow and care and poverty and sin; so many doubting, discouraged, tempted hearts To comfort and to make strong, tc utt up and to oiess?are tnese not mis sions worth while?

ELECTRIC BATH FOR CATTLE. Since the discovery that the terrible "foot and mouth disease" has begun its ravages among the cattle of the New England States every means has been utilized to stamp out the plague and prevent it from spreading to other herds, the State and National Departments of Agriculture co-operating with the farmers to this end. It is not improbable that the apparatus here illustrated and recently patented may be of considerable value in this work, having been designed especially for the purpose of freeing animals of parasites. As will be seen, the idea is to immerse the animal in a bath, thus subjecting whatever parasitic growths may have found lodgment to the action of the liquid. This of itself would destroy many of the germs, but the inventor goes further in his work and applies! the current of electricity to complete the treatment by destroying any parasites which have survived the bath. ELEOXBIC BATH TO KILL DISEASE GEBM? The liquid preferably used is a weak solution of acetic acid, as this will^add to the conductivity ?f the^batjT, tliat a weak curr$nf^r*o^e "of low voltage may be sufficient to kill the germs without injury^ to the_ animal In applying the treatment the animal first driven Into the bath, in whict one pole ofjthe battery is: placed- A metallic yoke or "fork is then placed over the neck, with a wire leading from the end of the fork back to the battery to receive the return current; the animal's head being forced undei rH the surface of the liquid for an instant to allow the current to act on all parta of the skin. pt One-third of the 100,000 Japanese li this country are said to be in California ft Wftvft Into the Front Line. by.

"WiIops on mm J Strike Situation in Chicago. III.. Reaches Critical Stase. FEDERAL HELP CALLED UPON % Oue Man Killed in the Heart of the , Bnsinea* Section ? One Thousand Extra Policemen Called Oat?Government Refuses Request For Soldiers at Present. Chicago, II!.?Senator Thomas C. 1 Piatt's boasted political pull was not sufficient to induce the Treasury Department to order Federal military protection for the express wagons of the United States Express Company, during tho teamsters' strike here. Sen- "6 ator Piatt, President of the express company, it was said, added his personal request to that of the express company's counsel for military proteci tion in carrying on its private business in the Windy City. This request was : mcde by telephone from New York City; to Acting Secretary Taylor. The contention was that the Federal Government, under a contract with the United States Express Company, had promised to furnish adequate guards in times of riot or strike for the delivery of money from the Sub-Treasury in Chicago. The substitution of arndy 1 wagons, strongly guarded, for the transfer of this money, which had been arranged for in Chicago during the teamsters' strike, it was contended, was a violation of the alleged contract. The express company, it was said, would be compelled to relinquish the" actual possession of the Government monpv. while still held resnonsible for its safe transfer and delivery. Acting 1 Secretary Taylor replied that the Treasury Department had received no ' complaint from the Chicago SubTreasury, or from any Federal offices in Chicago, and that, in fact, it had not been found necessary to call on the commanding officer of the Department: of the Lakes to take charge of the transfer of Government money as had been contemplated, as the strikers had assured the safe passage of all Government business despite the strike. He i declined to grant the request. ( Refused to Deliver Coal. , The strike situation has assumed a peculiar aspect. The interests which have been opposing the striking team] sters are not as united as heretofore. [ The team owners would not give a definite reply as to what could be expected of them.

[ They were informed that if they, \ would not make deliveries their con. tracts with the business houses, "Ji J | amounting to millions of dollars anl oually, would be canceled. This'did i not change their attitude, however, and j. they persisted in their refusal to takepart in: the strike. The railroad men.' [ present took practically the same ^ stand, declaring that the fight was . something into which the railroads did ' ? j aot properly enter; that they had contracts with the team owners; that these j Contracts were at present being ful1 dlled to their entire satisfaction, and' v they could see no reason why the railroads should be dragged into the | iBfl&l?
