He Had Six Months to Live. The early life of Cecil Rhodes was frequently endangered by illness, and the slender boy gave little evidence of tile sturdy, lion framed man. Even bis own physician did not believe at one time that the youth would ever live to grow up, and told the boy if he ever expected to live he should go to the Cape. Before leaving England he again called on the doctor, and was informed that the physician was dead, and that his son was conducting the practice. The visitor then made him self known to the latter, who, on con sulting the register of hi? father's cases, said: "Yes, here is the name, Cecil John Rhodes; but it can't be you, for there is a note after it which reads, 'Cannot live more than six months.'"

Broos Yan Heekorcn. j Intense wliite heat, with a streak of yalow dust marking the road; without Movement the leaves hung limp and brown, except when the hot air stirred them like restless bits of parchment. A duiit covered cart on the highway, horse and master alike in their en deavors to compromise with sleep; there was a world of regret in the way Billy raised his forelegs, and his head. At the cross-roads Dave drew the rein sharply, to Billy's discomfiture, and his next surprise lay in the fact of his being stopped in front of a cottage, a strange little cottage to him, and one almost hidden from view by the overgrowth of tangled vines. With laboring determination Dave dismounted, and drew from under thc seat a square box, marked and re marked with foreign stamps and la bels; then he re-adjusted his specta cles and read the inscription: "Miss Margaret Harway, Unionville, N. C." "Eggs and hominy!" Dave ex claimed, in lieu of a mightier oath, what's coming to tho old lady? Hain't sesn her nigh on to ten years; may be she do be afraid of her complexion." Dave chuckled softly to himself. "They say the house'is haunted; it's mighty queer, hiding herself with that slip of a girl." By this time he had passed the gate, which stood, by will or otherwise, hos pitably open, stumbled through the thick matted grass, and finally reached the door. It was cooler there, for no sunlight could penetrate the heavy fo liage; the appreciative spiders had hung - their fantastic drawn work around- the porch, while the musty small of rotting timbers excluded the sweeter odors natural to the country. Although Dave tried to adjust his rheumatic old knuckles to a mere tap, the sound echoed and re-echoed through the house as though intent upon a hearing and presently the door was opened, the rusty hinges creaking and groaning in their unusual effort. Whatever lear Dave may have felt before, it was unmistakable terror now that seized him and held him an un willing prey, for the face that returned his fascinated gaze was drawn and haggard, and as colories as marble. Tho eyes-Dave never forgot to his dying day that look of horror realized, of death, dead hopes and unutterable woe. "At last! At last!" she moaned. "At last, to' find rest! Oh, God. at last, at last!" Then, without further ado, she i droped motionless at Dave's feet Dave's kindly nature getting the bet ter of his fear, he knelt beside the prostrate woman and raised her head. "If I had a sup of water," he said, looking helplessly around. But before be had come to any con clusion she made an effort to rise, and with Dave's assistance slowly stood upon her feet and leaned against the wall, trembling in every limb. Suddenly from above came the sound of a quick' step, then a burst of song that died away in the distance; but it seemed to excite the woman to action. "Quick! Quick!" she said, opening the door of a small closet. "Put the the-" motioning with her thin, shaking hand toward the box. As Dave did her bidding and drew back, she took the key from the lock and dropped it into her pocket, a look of relief coining into her haggard face, j to be replaced thc next moment by one of anxiety and fear, for from above came again that voice, singing some long forgotten song. With lier finger on her lips, she gently pushed the very willing Dave toward the door. Poor lady! it was a very genlle push, for she was still shaken by the force of her emotions. As to Da-v>, lie never turned when tho door closed, not he! With a speed that indicated a happy re lease, he hurried down the untrodden path to the njore cheerful company of Billy. Margaret Harway stood still where he left her, trying to recover her ! strength, then, groping her way toward a door, opened it and vanished within. Almost at the same moment there came down the stairs a young girl of some 20 years; she had a win some face, but her full glory lay in the rolls of beautiful hair piled high on her shapely head, and held in place by an odd shaped comb. One forgot to criticise the fashion in wonder at her beauty* "Godmother, did you call? I thought I heard-Godmother, where are you?" For a moment she stood irresolute, then with a shrug of her shoulders, passed on to the kitchen. Herc it was less comfortless; the low ceiling was crossed with heavy rafters; the win dows opened on a tiny kitchen, garden, and by the door .Margaret stood, look ing out upon thc scene, tho red sun descending amid a glory of golden col or that promised heat on the morrow. To Evangeline what a world lay be yond the broken old palings that had at one time fenced in their narrow lot -a world of laughter and song, peo pled with men and women of chival rous nature, or honor and noble deeds! From childhood she had known no other home but that of her godmother. Margaret had taught her all she knew, and nature supplied the rest as she wandered through wood and meadow, for she was an apt pupil. It was while on one of these trips that she mot Paul Dainway. an artist, of nn mean ability, and, like herself, alone in the world. Irresistibly they were drawn to each oth?r, and before many summer d^ys had passed they had plighted their troth in the good old-fashioned way that cannot be im proved upon. Evangeline kept this scciet from her godmother, knowing her habitual re serve, her shrinking from neighbors who had offered kindly services. How much more would .e resent Paul's presence! Tho future was theirs, the rfoment sufficed; "why trouble for thc morrow? It was early that evening when Evangeline retirrd to her room; she had intended reading one of Paul's books, but the beauty of thc night stayed her, and she threw herself on the bed to watch the sky studded with its' myriads of mysteries. How long she slopt she could not Ml. but sud denly she sat bolt upright with tho cnn- I vie.tion that something strange was occurring. Was she dreaming? She rubbed her eyes; no.lhere was her god mother in the garden, a box in ono hand, a small spade in the other. What was she doing at that hour of-th? night? Why this secrecy? She shud dered as she leaned out of the window and watched the tall, silent form reel ing toward the most deserted portion of the garden. Should she follow? Her honor forbade. Breathless, she awaited her godmothers' return, but some time elapsed before she came tottering toward the house. She was muttering to herself, but the girl could not hear her words. The next morning Margaret Harway was found dead in her chair. "Heart failure" the doctor pronounced the cause of her death, and heart failure it was. Very gently Evangeline took from the clenched fingers some old let ters, and tying them together laid them reverently away. After the death of her godmother, Evangeline yielded to Paul's desire to an immediate marriage; alone, with out money or friends, lt seemed her only possible course. She turned in stinctively to Paul, and he did not fail hsr. ' . To clear the ground arour.d the hoi'se was Paul's duty as well as his phasure. At first it seemed a hope les task, but by degrees the flower beds toole form and outline, until the only remaining tangle was the far corner under Hie apple :rec. As they drew near the spot, one af ternoon, intending tc work there, Evangeline shuddered and drew back. "It was here she came on that dread ful night," she whispered to her hus band. "I couid see her busy among the bushes. Oh, Paul, what was she doing?" Paul drew her toward him. "My darling, you must forget. Just as the weeds and mould have been cleared from the old place, so the shadows must pass from my darling. Come, be brave, this is our last task.-" He struck his spade into the earth, and threw up the rich black mould. Suddenly he stopped. "There is something here," he said, running'his hand through the loose earth. "Who knows but what it is a fortune? It is a box." he said more seriously, drawing it forth with some difficulty. Evangeline was clinging to a tree for support. "Oh, Paul, do not touch it! Put it back-put it back! I know it must be something dreadful, something we do not want to know. If you love me, Paul, bury it quickly!" There was so much anguished en treaty in her voice that he did as she oade him. "We will leave it," he said reluc tantly, "but we owe it to ourselves aid to her to solve this mystery. Come, we will look through ihe old papers and letters you have laid away." And so, with his arm around her, they went into the house and up the stairs. At first it seemed as though the mys tery would not be solved, at any rate_ by the letters; but finally Evangeline" leaid before Paul the letter she had taken from the dead woman's hand, then, looking over her husband's shoulder, she read with him: - "Margaret:-There is a just retri bution for every sin mortal man com mits. Of this fact I am an apt illus tration. No futuro could bring more anguish than that which I endure. Margaret, I. who would have given my life for you, have given my soul, I am despised of you. "In a mad hour I forged ray employ er's signature. We were so poor, Mar garet, so desperately poor!

Thus my crime would remain hidden.

No one knows you there; rei ume your maiden name, for minc wor'.i soi! you, and if you have one faint spark of love for your erring husband, keep the knowl edge cf the crime Avhicli has separated us from our child, our tiny Evangeline.

Tarn nf ilio &iiiVcinj; of tho Ann Alexan der by a Maddened Whale - The Ship XNsex of Nantucket Mot a Similar Fate - A Fighting Wham ii Dangerous Foe. Nothing definite has been learned of the sinking of thc bark Kathleen by a whale, reported last week. Capt. Thomas H. Jenkins, her master, only cabled to her owner, William R. Wing of New Bedford, as follows: "Kathleen sunk by whale. Captain and wife and officers saved. Nine men missing." The disaster occurred on the 17th Of March off the coast of Brazil. This tells all that is known of the mishap. Sc rarely have whalemen had such an experience that old sailors find mate rial in plenty to discuss the report. But two like occurrences are known since the early days of whaling. Thc Kathleen was always called a lucky ship and made many a good voyage. F>he was cruising in thc South Atlantic and it ls presumed that she must have been on the River La Plata grounds when sunk. Thc cable comes from Pernambuco, Brazil, and whether Capt. Jenkins and his crew were picked up and taken to Pernam buco by a vessel, or reached that port in boats of his own, is not known. The nine men missing were undoubtedly in one of the stanch whaleboats, and it is possible that they may have reached land, but have not been able to communicate the fact as did Capt. Jenkins. Cases of whalers rushing head on are very rare. One Instance which will be remembered by some of the older whalemen was in 1851, when the ship Ann Alexander was sunk in the Pacific Ocean by a maddened whale. In the Whaleman's Shipping List of Nov. 4, 1851, is a very full account of that occurrence. The story, told by Capt. John S. Deblois, .follows: The ship Ann Alexander sailed from New Bedford, June 1, 1850, for a cruise in the south ' Pacific. Having taken 50 barrels of sperm oil in the Atlantic Capt. Deblois proceeded on the voyage to the Pacific. On the 20th of August, 1851, while cruising on the "off shore grounds," at 9 o'clock in the morning whales were discovered, and at noon of the same day succeeded in making fast to one. The mate's boat made fast to the whale, which ran with the boat for some time, and then suddenly turning about rushed at tue boat with open jaws crushing the little craft into splinters. Capt. Deblois rescued the boat's crew. Later the waist boat was lowered from the ship and another attack made upon tho leviathan. Thc mate again in charge of the attacking boat experienced another smash-up, for in the battle the whale again turned on the boat's crew and crushed the sec* ond boat. The crew was saved and ali hands returned to the ship, which proceeded after the whale. The ship passed on by him, and immediately af ter it was discovered that the whale was making for the ship. As he came up near her they hauled on the wind and suffered thc monster to pass her. After he had fairly passed they kept off to overtake and attack him again. When the ship had reached within 50 rods of him the crow discovered that the whale had settled down deep be low the surface of the water, and as 'lt was near sundown it was decided to give up the pursuit. The ship was moving about five knots and while Capt. Deblois stood at tho rail ho sud denly saw the whale rushing at the ship at the rate ol' 15 kiioi^s. In an instant tho mousier struck the ship with tremendous violence, shak ing her from stem to ?tc-rn. She quiv ered under thc shock as if she had struck upon a rock. Thc whale struck the ship about two feet from the keel, abreast the foremrist, knocking a great hole entirely through her bottom, through which the water rushed in. The anchors and cables were thrown overboard, as she had a large quan tity of pig iron aboard. The ship sank rapidly, all effort to keep her afloat proving futile. Capt. Deblois or dered all hands to take to the boats and was the last to leave the ship, doing so by jumping from the vessel into the soa and swimming to the nearest boat. Tho ship was on her beam ends, her topgallant yards under water. They hung around in thc vi cinity of the Ann Alexander all that night, and the next day the captain horded his vessel, and cutting away the masts she righted, when they suc ceeded iu getting stores from her hold with which to supply their boats, should it become necessary to make % boat voyage to land. On Aug. 22 ship Nantucket, Capt. Gibbs, cruising i.i that vicinity, discovered the imper illed sailors, and taking them in charge landed them at Paiyta, Sept. 15. The Ann Alexander was hopeless ly wrecked and loft to her fate on Aug. 23. Five months after this disaster this pugnacious whale was captured by the Rebecca Simms of this port. Two of the Ann Alexander's harpoons were found in him and his head had sus tained serious injuries, pieces of the ship's timbers hoing imbedded in it. The whale yielded 70 to SO barrels of oil. The only other known case of a like nature occurred to tho ship Essex of Nantucket, commanded by Capt. George Pollard, Jr. Siio sailed from Nantucket Aug. 12, 1S1?). for a cruise on Ibo Pacific ocean. On the morn ing'of Nov. 20, 1819, in latitude of u.40 scuth and longitude 119 west, whales were discovered and all three boats lowered in pursuit. Thc mate's boat soon struck a whale, but a blow of tho animal's tail opening a bad hole in the boat the crew was obliged to cut from him. In the meantime, the cr.plain's and .second mate's boats had fastenc'I to another whale, and the mate, heading tho ship for tho other boats, sot about overhauling his boat preparatory to lowering again. While doing this ho saw a largo sperm whale break water about 20 rods from the ship. Tho whale disappeared, but im mediately came up about a ship's length off, hud made directly for the vessel, going at a velocity of about three milos an hour and thc Essex advancing at about tho same rate of speed. Scarcely had the mato or dered the boy at*thr-. helm to put it hard up. when thc whale with greatly While the mate was thinking of getting the two extra boats clear, the vessel had begun to settle rapid I}, the cry was started by a sailor: "Here he is, ho is making for us again!" The whale came down for the ship with twice his ordinary speed, and a line of foam about a rod in width, made with his tail, which he continually thrashed from pide to side;, marked his coming. The whale crashed into the bows of the Essex, staving them completely in directly under the cathead. The whale after the second assault passed under the ship and out of sight to the leeward. The crew were in a fix, in mid-ocean, a thousand miles from the nearest land and nothing but the frail whale boats to save them. The lashings, of the spare boat were cut and she wa? launched with the ship falling on ber beam. ends. The ship hung togethe? for three days. Provisions were tak en from her and the whaleboats strengthened. The boats started for the coast of Chile or Peru, and after a hard time they landed at Ducies isl and. Unable to find subsistence there they again started, Dec. 27, after leav ing three of their number, of their own desire, and commenced to make the perilous voyage to the island ot Juan Fernadez. Many of the boat's crew died, and the recital states that the flesh of a dead comrade was eat en by members of thc mate's boat. On Feb. 17 the surviving crew of the mate's boat were picked up by the brig Indian. Capt.' Pollard and Charles Ramsdale, the sole survivors of the captain's boat, were picked up Fob. 28 by a Nantucket whaler, and the third b^it was never heard from. -New London Day. . THE TRADE IN TATTOOING. A Once ProiUablo Industry That Hak Fallen Off In Lute Yenni. The tattoo market is not in a satis factory condition. It has grown worse steadily for several years, and none of the leading professionals are happy over the trade as it stands or the promise for the immediate future. One of them said the other day that he had had half a mind to close up shop for good. "A few years ago," he said, "there were 10 of us tatooers in this shop and the business was great, but the American people don't care for fine art, and we are suffering accordingly. There was a time when no museum was complete without a tatooed man or a tattooed 'lady.' Those were the days that made a fellow happy. Cap tain Costenus, 'the Great tatooed Greek,' was worth $5000 a year at one time, and Mlle. Celeste, who was cap tured and made a princess and tatooed by th? cannibals of Fiji (between our selves I was the Fi JIB), got $150 a week for several seasons. The trade has not died out altogether, but we do T??? get any moreb ig jobs, only littl* ^uea that take half an hour or a-, hour; voting men that want to have a ship or a hmrt, and their sweetheart's initials tat coed on their arms, and now and th .j. a mother who'desires an identifi cation mark tattooed on her baby. That is to prevent his being stolen, she says. I never heard ol' a case where lt did prevent it, but then they get the idea from blood-and-thunder novels, and feel quite proud when it is done. Another class who want queer symbols tattooed upon their bodies are the the osophists and men who belong to or ganizations I never heard of." "IB your work difficult?" "Not at all. All that it requires Is a steady hand, a good oyo and a knowl edge of the business. For tattooing blue and dark blue we use India ink tcday just as they have done for cen turies. For reds we employ cochineal and sometimes purified iron rust. For green there is a mineral powder ground very fine that beats anything I know ol'. For yellow, ochre is the best. You have to be very careful with colors, and I often think the trade got a black eye from careless or ignorant people using injurious or poisonous substances. Many of the colored inks when tattooed make big sores. So will many of the water colors which are used by painters. Chrome yellow is poisonous, and so are all the greens and blues which contain copper. I ought to say that chrome green ls not dangerous except ing when it is impure and contains lead. Ther? are some vegetable colors which are not injurious, but ought not to be used, because they are slowly dissolved by the blood. You cs>n get a very beautiful effect from spinach green. It looks just as pretty as the side of a ripe green apple, but after a year it grows quite faint, and in three or four years it is absorbed altogether and there is nothing left. When I be gan business a crazy Scotchman had me tattoo Stuart plaid stockings from his toes up to his knees." MHinmon Worship. Undoubtedly one of the worst things a young man has to contend against in the New York of today is mammon worship. "It is perfectly rotten," said a young fellow recently in the ver nacular of his kind. "A man must have money or he is a failure; he must make it somehow, and he must not. be too long about it, either, for it is the only criterion of success. Noth ing counts without it, and it makes a fellow feel that all he has been taught as a boy to consider desirable is not worth while. The cultivation of one's mind, the living up to any standard, an honorable career in one's profes sion, are all very well in their way if a chap is content to plod along with out being much thought of. but the world docs not consider such things of much account. They do not mean money, and that is really the only thing worth having, apparently. It is all very stultifying, of course. I know that I am deteriorating morally; that I no longer feel any enthusiasm for things that I used to admire, and that my whole mind is warped by the greed for gain which I see on every side, and which is the dominant spirit among the people I know. I despise myself for it, and I despise the world I live in,. But what is a eliow to do?"-New York Tribune. Tlirovr Tol?lol'n Miinuscrlpt Awny. It took Count Tolstoi five years to gather the historical materials for "War and Peace." The preliminary writings from which the hook sprang arc now in the Rumjanzoff Museum, Moscow. But they had ' a hard time getting there. Some years ago when Conni'.ss Tolstoi was ill a careless ser vant t'iok the manuscripts and threw ^hem into a disused canal in the park fiear the house. They were discovered [after several weeks and rescued. IITlie Sinnll Hoy's linn. "Willie," she said, "if you eat any nore of those preserves I'll give you i whipping."

A JUDGE'S WIFE We would caution all people against ac cepting substitutes ?or l'eruna. Insist upon having Peruna. Tliere is no other inter nal remedy for catarrh that will take the place of l'eruna. Allow no one to persuade you to the contrary. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from thc use pf Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case arid he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of Thc Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus. 0. She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hope less-Cured by Pe-ru-na. Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217 West 33d bt., Minneapolis, Minn., AB fol lows: "J suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and righi side, lt interfered o/ten with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that 1 would be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help vic any. ''Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and (?ave it such high praise that J de cided to try it. Although 1 started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that 1 Jolt encour aged. ..I took it faithfully for seven weeks and om happy indeed to be able to say that 1 ?rn entirely cured. Words fail to exj)ress my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish ?or, and thanks to Paruna I cnj>u that now." ilinnic E. McAllister. The great popularity of Peruna as a ca tarrh ren.edy has tempted many people to imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug stores. These remedies can bo procured by thc druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no "druggist can get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute thc cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without a doubt.
