E DANIEL BOONE'S LOG CABIN. T is Crumbling Away in $uins at the "Point" Near Alton, Ill. SInthe panhandle of St. Charles Coun ty Missouri, familiarly known as "the directly opposite and a few riles from Alton, Ill., there stand the crumbling ruins of one of the most -nteresting landmarks in this portion of the L~nion. It is the log cabin that was for many years th home and abid ing place of Daniel B,oone, the great est and most widely known of the original Indian fighters of the land. Late in the eighteenth century a French colony settled at Portage des Sioux, and the quaint little village standing on the west shore of the Mis sissippi, ten miles above Alton, is still distingaished by the peculiar charac teristics of that nationality. In 17T9 DNIEL BOONE'S LOG CABI. Colonel Daniel Boone came to Missouri and built his cabin in the Darst bot tom, a few miles from Portage, and his worth as a pioneer of civilization was recognized by Lieutenant Govern or Delassus, who appointed him, on July 11, 1800. commandant of the Femme Osage district. Aside frc, the settlement of. the French at Port age, and the Spaniards in Southern Cal ifornia, the cabin of Boone was the hrst Saxon home founded beyond the borders of the Mississippi. The old cabin represented in the ac companying cut therefore antedates the purchase of the Louisiana tract by Thomas Jefferson, and it is cherished by the people of that vicinity beyond price. But of late years the relic seek er has turned his step that way, and the old landmark is literally being car ried away piecemeal. Colonel Boone died at this place in the ninetieth year of his age, in 1522,. and was buried near by, but by an act of the Legis lature of Kaentucky his remains were subsequently disinterred and laid to their final rest underneath the monu ment raised by that State to the mem ory of the brave pioneer. Many of the relatives of the famous old man stIll inhabit and till the fertile soil of the regions where he chose to make his Poor Prospect. rA pathetic thing, if one looks at it from an indulgent point of view, is the haste of certain young men to possess a beard. An undergraduate at college, who was quite innocent of any sign or beard, grew confidential one day with the barber who was cutting his hair. "Don't you think I'm going to have a pretty good beard?" the young man asked. "'h, well-perhaps so," said the bar ber, seeing no reason to commit him self. "Well,'' the young man went on, "you know my fathe bad a splendid beard." "So he did," said the barber. "But do you know, I've always noticed that you resemble your mother more than you do your father!" ?tROTECT U-EM O:F ''KOYAn." Esking rowd*rr omnpan~y W!ns Its Cas in Uz-ted states Ce-rt.

Whatever may be the truth or tihe falsity of the stories that are told o the scarcity of funds in a country- cd itor's pocket or the scarcity of lood in his stomach, the stories a.e alwv told, and neither the progress of eitu cation nor the growth and develop ment of the press seems to h:tve ny effect upon the crop. One of the latest comes from Kentucky, where the mountain editor, at least, rarei develops into a Crcesus or an . and this cno is concerning . cuutin editor. A subscriber had re'-mber: him very kindly, and a e..y or two later a visitor called at his oice. "Can I see the editor?" he inor irc a of the grimy little 'devil" on the liigh stool. "No, sir," replied the youth on the stool, "He's sick." "What's the matter with him?" 'Dun'no," saia the boy. 'One o our subscribers gave him a bag of flour and a bushel of pertaters i'uther day, an' I reckon he's foundered." From the "Editor's Drawer," in hr per's Magazine.

A readiness to apologize for an of fense is not worth much unlessits accompanied by a disposition not to re peat the injury. Johnny and Jenny were quarreling. and Jenny began to cry. I"Oh, well," said Johnny, "don't cry .-I'll take back all the mean things I've said." "Yes, you'll take 'em back'." sobbed the girl, "so you can have 'em just rca dy to use over again." "Three minutes for dinner." yelled the railroad porter. "Good:" exelaiim ed the editor. "The last time it was $M." The Obedient Erg. Some curious tricks can be perform ed with eggs prepared in the following way: Pierce an egg with a pin, awul empty the contents of the she. When the interior is quite dry, pour Into it some fine sand until a fourth of the shell is filled. Then seal the hole with a drop of white wax. You can thea place the egg on the edge of a knife '-.: 'the margin of the decanter, and it will stay where you put it. Take care to shake the egg well before placing it in any of these positions, and thus bring~ TflE OBsEmZNT zoo-. the center of gravity to the place 'where:' you desire it to be. To make a as obedient egg Introduce into an ei-i' egg shell some grains of shot and ':t ing wax: Close the hole, and h'du tie shell over a ime until the wax insid3 has melted. The shot and we.x til then adhere to the bottom of tee: When cool yp'ce the egg on the table, and it will stand upright like the one shown in our illustration.

Thn the winter ha especial temptation inthe fact that many homes are peculiari; unattractive at this season. In the summej months tha young man can sit out on tb steps. or h<,can have a bouquet In the vase on the mantel. or, the evenings being s short, soon after gasiight he wants to r"tirf anyhow. But there are many narents w:, do not understand hw to make the lon: t<inter evenings attractive to taeir children It is amazing to me that so many old peoplt do not understand youn g eople. To he:; some of these parents talk you would thin' they had never them sclves heea young an had been born with spectacics on. Ch. it i dolorous for youn, p^ople to sit in the house from 7 to 11 o'clock at nluht and to hear par ents groan about their ailmnats and thi nothingness of this world. The nothin"nes! of this world! How dare you tall: suc' biasphemy? It took God six days to ma'r this worid, and He has allowed it 6000 year to hang upon His holy heart, and this worh has shone on you and blesso you and ca ressed you for these fifty or seventy years and yet you dare talk about thehothinenes! of this world! Why, it is a magnificen1 world. I do not believe in the whole uni verse there is a world equal to it, except it be heaven.. You cannot expect your chi!' dren to stay in the house these long wintei evenings to hear you denounce this stal lighted, sun warmed. shower bapticed flower strewn, angel watched. God inhabit ed nlanet. Oh, make your hom bright! Bring in tlu violin or the nict.ure. It does not require i great saiary. or a big house, or chas-cd sil ver, or gor,eous 'upolstery to make a hanp home. All that iswane:l is a father's heart a mother's heart, in sympathy with y-un folks. I have known a man with $700 sa! ary, and he bad no other ineoe. but he hn a home so happy and b-ight that, thong: the sons had gonP out and won large fo: tunes and the daughters have gone out int solendid spheresani become princesses of so ciety, they can never think of that earl: home without tears of emotion. It was to then the vestiblte of heaven, and all their man sions now and all their palaces now canno make them forget that early place. Malt your homes happy. You go around you house growling about your rheumatism an, acting the lnrmbriou.s. tnd t:Ir sons will Into the world and plunge into dissipation Tiny will have their owa rhenmatisris aitr awhile. Do not forest all their misfortuoes You were young once, and yen had you: bright and joyous times. Now Jet the youa' folks have a good time. I stoo 1in front a n. horse, and I said to the owner of the house "This 'Is a splendid tre." Ho sal in a whining tone, "Y's. but I: will fade."

Faster Steamships. ow comes the threat that we are go lug to have a steamboat that will cross the ocean in three days. Gracious; are we not getting across fast enough now? The rush will soon be to go by the slow steamers. Its the ocean voyage that so many people like; and, then, think of it, only three days' sail from New York to Southampton. If they would stop there it would be all right; but, then, turn it around, it is only three days from Southampton to New York. It isn't the people who go over there that worry me, but it is the class of peo ple that are being sent back to us; not the people who come of their own ac cord, but the ones that the various gov ernments are anxious to be rid of. Think of dumping them here every three days. Wish the good Lord I could make it thirty days, or three years. Our great extent of unoccupied territory is our danger.

Mr. Gehrhre h::s a v.:luable farm and he has been a resident of the county for years. He is very Well known hereabouts an d well respected wherever be is known. Last week a reporter cf the Journal stopped at Mr. Gehrke's and while there became much interested in Mrs. -Gehrke's account ot the benefit she bad not I long sine~ ex.e'rienced from the use of Dr. Lilas ink Pills for Pale People. .She sai sh wa:e e'verybodly to know what a great mredicine these pills are, but, as so many people are praising them now-a-days,. coule add anythinng t htohr a l ready saili of them. Her only reason for talking for en licationi about Pink Pills was that the p-Ole of MArir awl neighborin.g counties might be convineed,if any doubted, that ort published to:-iimonials concerning Pink Pills were genuine statements from the. lips of perrsons who hard been ber,efit ed by the u - se odiem. Speaking of her own interest "Altl v year4go Ik sd completely b roken don I ha-l been taking medicine frc-n a doactor I ut grew worse and worse un il 1 conld scarcely go about at all.

With out doubt they exert great good in the beginning stages; they improve the appetite, pro mote digestion and tone up the nervous.system.

The hypo phosphites are valuable and the cod-liver oil is valuable. of Cad-liver Oil, with hypo phosphites, contlains both of these in the most desirable form. The oil is thoroughly emulsified ; that is, partly di gested. Sensitive stomachs can bear an emulsion when the raw oil cannot be retained.
