After war he took an active part in politics and held offices several times, as town tax collector, constable and in the capacities, always performing his faithfully and honestly.

To say that this splendid work of science and art is finer and better than ever, is stating it mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all previous years. To say that such results, reaching [through Thirty Years, are not based upon sound sense and usefulness, is an insult to the intelligence of the millions. Prof. Hicks, through this great Almanac, and his famous family and scientific journal Word and Works, is doing a work for the whole people not approached by any other man or publication. A fair test prove this to any reasonable person. Added to the most luminous course in astronomy for 1903, forecast of storms and weather are given, as never before, for every day in the year, all charming all charming illustrated with nearly two hundred engravings.

Several days ago the patrons of one of the Evensville schools withdrew all their children from the school, and when the matter was investigated it was learned that the parents believed a young girl named Mabel Smith was colored. The board of education protested and the truant officer threatened to have tee parents arrested for not sending their children to school, but this had no effect, and the teachers sat day after day without pumila. The board of education then ap pointed nine physians to examine the girl and report as to whether she had sayngro blood in her veins. Five of them said she had and four said she had not, and this left the matter in as bad shape as before. The board then entered upon an investigation itself and unmoved Mrs. Wade, superintendent of the Home for Friendless Colleen, at which institution Mabel lives. Mrs. Wade testified that she knew the parent of the child; that they were of French descent and died several years age, and that Mabel, though unusually dark skinned, had no Negro blood in her veins. The patrons of the school had a committee present and after Mrs. Smith testified they consented to let their children return to school. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY MORNING. Some time ago we ran across in one of our exchanges an editorial which at least forrished food for thought. We reproduce it in our columns for what it is worth, believing that it will cause those who read it to question whether or not the comparison it makes is true, and if true, to seek some way of reminding this defeat. The editoria which was published over the captain, the difference between a Negro and a 'Nigger' is as follows: 'The term Negro is an honorable one and in this country is usually applied to all people who are descended from the African race, although many of the individuals who are so designated may have lost all visible traces of African feats and complexion. The negro is usually a good citizen, with the odys's against him everywhere on the account of his color, with his influence on the side of law and order, religious in his tastes, struggling to accumulate property, endeavoring to educate his children, and to provide his family with the comforts of life. He differs little, except in color and texture of hair, from other citizens among whom he lives and comes in daily contact. His habit, domestica traites, aspirations are about the same as those of others where he may happen to live. On the other hand the, nigger' is a lower type of the Negro is in evidence usually upon street corners and in back alleys, and in his habits, traits of character and tastes is the opposite of the Negro. The 'nigger' for the most part is a degenerate, is not trusted where he is known and is not know where he is trusted. He is always up on the rationale of erap games, is a veritable cake walker seldom owns a home, never visits a church or Sunday school, is generally shiffless and worthless and an incubupon any community where he happen to pitch his tent and to rest his slippers for a few days. The Negro has no sympathy for the 'nigger.' He regards him as his inferior consibler him an obstacle in his pathway, and one for whom he is compelled to apologize continually. The line between the self resqueeting Negro and the degraded 'nigger' are being drawn each year, in all sections of our country, and the sooner the worthless cake walking and crap shooting 'nigger' is regulated to the and told to "go way back and sit down" the better it is for the intelligent and progressive Negro.

ELIZA DUDLEY. Administratrix of the Estate of Anthony Dudley, deceased. Judging from the various reports from over the state regarding the throwing out of thousand of ballots it cannot be said that the Republican victory is so much to crow over. The exact standing of the Fusionist cannot be determined we believe it would be unfair to a fill the present informers ballot was done The peculiarity of this year's election returns are that the majority of the ballots thrown out were Fusionist. We do believe in acting the part of a baby in defeat. We do believe in decency and purity in dealing with the people suffering if such a thing was possible The entire vote cast in the recent election should be thrown out. The Republican party did just what its representative had in mind when the election law be, which the recent card was mab sit what they accomplished, multinatily every dog has his day.

To the above named defendant, you are hereby notified that you have been sued in the above named court by the above named plaintiff and that unless you appear and answered on or before the 10th day of December 1902, the petition filed against you will be took as true and a judgement rendered the nature of woe will be a decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony existing between plaintiff and defendant and divorcing plaintiff from said defendant and awarding to him the care and custody of their minor child William McDonald and for cost of this suit. William McDonald, By I. F. Brackley, his attorney. Get Monev. Professor Branson, in a recent address before the students of the Georgia State Industrial College at Savannah, Ga., urged his hearers to be practical and to fit themselves for greater usefulness in life. He said that he had very little respect for the man who, at thirty years of age, was not living under his own vine and fig tree. He quoted a mark of George Foster Peabody, that it is better to raise two potatoes than to play one piano. The trend of his remarks showed him to be a firm believer in the uitarian school. If we correctly understand him, he would perhaps spend but little time on the esthetical studios, but would only teach those things which may be tured to practical value. All of this goes to show how deep and how strong a grasp the industrial idea has borne great fruit at the State College for nowhere else in the have the students erected so fine and imposing an edifice as right there on the college campus. Our Trade in the Transvaal Our trade in the Transvaal An American piano, retailing here for $200, fetches $500 in the Transvaal. An organ worth $50 here sells for $150 there. American saddles and harness don't suit the Boers, the former being too high-priced and the latter too fine for the rough overland work of trekking. In the canned meat line, Australia so far undersells Chicago that our packers are in despair. Our manufacturers sold over 7,000 tons of barbed wire in 1897 to the Transvaal, but, strange to say, the fence posts same from Germany and England. Four iceplants were furnished for the Kimberley mines by Chicago, having an aggregate capacity of twenty tons a day, besides 100,000 cubic feet of cold storage.—New York Press. Clarified Sugar Take the quantity of fine white loos sugar you intend to clarify, add to it of very clean warm water, half a pint for every pound; when dissolved add to it the white of one or two eggs, as the quantity may require, well whipped; put it on the fire, and when it comes to a boll pour into it an ordinary teacupful of cold water; on its rising again to a boll remove it and let it settle for twenty minutes; skim the scum from the top, pour off the syrup into a clean vessel with sufficient quickness to leave all the sediment at the bottom and such steadiness as to prevent any of the latter rising and mixing with it FOLKENBURG FOUND GUILTY. Convicted of First Degree Murder in Kansas City, Kansas. Kansas City, Mo.—Fred Folkendburg, charged with killing his wife in Argentine July 31, was convicted of murder in the first degree in the common pleas court in Kansas City, Kas. Monday afternoon. The case went to the jury at 3 o'clock. After forty minutes deliberation the verdict was returned. Folkendburg wept and moaned while benign taken to the county jail. The technical penalty for murder in the first degree in Kansas is death by hanging. The convicted prisoner must, however, be kept in the state penitentiary one year before the sentence is executed and then it can only be done by the governor signs the death warrants. The governor has ever authorized a death and the penalty has become to be looked upon as imprisonment for life. At 7 o'clock Monday evening Folkenburg's three daughters and his brother-in-law and sister-in-law went to the county jail in Kansas City, Kas, to say good-bye. They had left the court house at the conclusion of the arguments and gone to Argentine to prepare for their return to Winfield, Kas. When they met Folkenburg all began to weep. Folkenburg repeatedly assured his daughters that he knew nothing of the killing of their mother. John Sanchez, the son of the governor, stated the state in the prosecution, and Daisy and Margie Folkenburg, 17 and 14 years old, respectively, were the principal witnesses. Fred Fokenburg was charged with shooting his wife in the head, as she lay on her bed in their home in Argentina about 3 o'clock on the morning of July 31. The daughters testified that their parents had quarreled, and a neighbor said she saw Fokenburg practicing with a revolver a few days before the shooting. Fokenburg had confessed to several persons that he had intended to commit suicide, and that at his wife's request he shot her, and these statements were introduced in evidence. A clairvoyant, who had warned Fokenburg that his wife wrt. unfaithful, was supposed to have influenced him in his discouraged state of mind. The defense was insanity. Two Republican Ticke's Cape Girardeau county will have two county tickets in the field this fall. Each will support the regular state nominees, but have separate county tickets. A petition containing 1,000 names was presented to Secretary of State Cook Monday for the nomination of an independent ticket for that county with the Republican state nominees on it, and with C. G. Thilenius as a candidate for representative, and a complete county ticket. Thilenius has been the Republican representative of that county for several years. He was turned down by the recent convention, and he is making the race as an independent candidate. The nomination is confidential to the secretary of state in order that the regular Republican state nominees can go on the ballot. This ticket practically insures the election of the entire Democratic ticket in that Republican county. Two Dead. Springfield, ill.—Two men were killed, four fatally and others seriously injured Monday afternoon in an explosion at Victor mine, Pawnee, eighteen miles from here. The dead: W. V. Overcash, aged 30, single. Michael Yorja, aged 27, single. Fatally injured; Frank Isaacs, aged 14, breaker boy, diving. Peter Green, head and body crushed, John Burke, frightfully bruised. George Worley, bruised and burned. Others injured were Daniel Reece, John Dick, William Sparling, John Pick, Peter Cerovich, Jerome Sproule, Thomas King, Joseph Buchner. The explosion occurred just before the day force of 190 men went off duty and was caused by too much powder in a blast, the concussion causing coal dust, which thickly overhung the mine, to explode with great force. The department of zoology of the University of Chicago has nought a collection of 50,000 insects. This great number of "bugs" was collected from all parts of the world by the late John K. Hurst, an entomologist of Brooklyn, N. Y. The collection is valuable because of its completeness and represents careful work extending over many years. He Took the Job. A characteristic story is told of Abe Gruber, the well-known New York lawyer. When he was a boy looking for something to do he saw the sign, "Boy Wanted," hanging outside a store in New York. He picked up the sign and entered the store. The proprietor met him. "What did you bring that sign in here for?" asked me storekeeper. "You won't need it any more," said Gruber, cheerfully. "I'm going to take the job." Every man must blow his own horn nowadays, and judicious advertising is the great horn that enables many to make themselves heard in the din of competition.—Jewelers' Circular-Weekly. Acoustics Waves The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, par. 'liel lines of clouds sometimes make their appearance at a great height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves running miles above our heads—Chicago Chronicle. SARSERS WHO MAKE MONEY. The itinerant barber of today who corresponds to the early idea of this personage by going in their homes and not awaiting them in his own or his employer's shop, is no means a figure of the New York, but proppers here still, says the New York Sun. These barbers are working who have acquired a following of their own and find customers enough who want to be shaved at home to insure them a living. They are able with a limited number to get along, as the expense involved is not great. There is, for instance, no rent, and this makes it possible for a barber to succeed with a more limited number of patrons than might otherwise be thought necessary. The number of these men has greatly increased during the past years and they represent the barbers who are fearful of undertaking the responsibility of their own shops and are yet desirous of being more independent than the ordinary employee. The most successful of these barbers are usually more desirably placed than their employers. They have no responsibility and earn a regular income as well as being treated with consideration by their bosses, who are always anxious to keep such men. The itinerant barber who serve their clients at their own homes are able to do this at only a slight advance on the usual amount. Sent out from the shops they receive four times as much as would be asked in them. THE CELL OF NOTABLES Occupied by Earl Russell, Stead and Eumund H. Yates. In connection with the cell of Halloway jall where Earl Russell served his sentence for bigamy it is said that it was formerly occupied by the English journalist, W. T. Stead, and the poetilist, Edmund H. Yates. The affairs in which they were engaged, although they caused a tremendous sensation at the time, are now almost forgotten. Stead, it may be remembered, was largely in the eye of this country about six years age as the author of a book, "If Christ Should Come to 'chicago," that was regarded as so blasphemous the big news companies refused to handle it. In 1884 Stead created a remarkable commission by alleging that English society was permitted by the most horrible morality. A body of gentlemen, composed of some of the most eminent in the kingdom, sifted his charges and the result was that new laws were proposed and passed regulating the subject matter of his allegations. In proving them, however, Stead was guilty of a technical violation of the law, and for this he had to undergo prison detention for three months. The offences for which Yates was imprisoned took place in 1874 and consisted of an alleged libel in his newspaper, the World, on the Earl of Lonsdale. While not the writer of the article himself he refused to divulge the name of his author and so subjected himself to penalty. A Wonderful Chinese Temple A temple to reach which any one has to climb up 6,000 stone steps, is to be found in China, on the top of the holy mountain, Tai-schan, which is about 6,000 feet above Tainganfu, and the distance somewhat over sixteen miles. About a mile north of the city walls is a gate leading to an avenue several miles in length, lined with temples, convents, holy shrines, and thousands of beggars. The real ascent begins at a stone portal at which, according to its inscription, the great Confucius himself halted and turned back 2,000 years ago, not having had the strength to climb the 6,000 stone steps leading to the top. These Tai-schan stairs are by far the highest in the world, for, taking the number of steps in one story of an ordinary dwelling to be twenty, the number of Tai-schan steps equals 300 stories. After climbing the 6,000 steps the visitor passes through the Gate of Heaven and stands on the large plateau at the summit, which is covered with numerous temples and stone monuments. British Cabinet Wager The annual "wages bill" of the British cabinet is no light sum—at present it nearly reaches £100,000; or, to be exact, it amounts to £93,550. Of the cabinet as at present constituted the best paid is the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who receives £20,000 a year; the lord chancellor comes next with £10,000, and the Irish lord chancellor's salary is £8,000. Seven ministers—respectively stationed at the foreign, colonial, war, India, treasury and home offices, and the chancellor of the exchequer—are paid £5,000 each, which is the standard salary for a secretary of state; while the first lord of the admiralty has £4,500. The remaining eight members of the cabinet are each given £2,000 per annum. The offices of the Irish chief secretary and postmaster-general are respectively rated at £4,425 and £2,500. Wiles of a Poacher. The otter, used by Scottish poachers, is one of the most deadly fishing instruments known. On some waters it is far more effective than a net. It may be described as a water-kite, which serves to take out over the water a line bearing fifty or more flies. The otter itself is a floating piece of board, leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poacher walks along the side of loch or river, letting out the fly-decorated line as he goes, the NOVEMBER 21 1902 HE TOOK THE SHOWER BATH And It Drove Him From the Yosemite Back to New England. After a week of little journeys, striking here and there a few miles to sorb the Yosemite valley from a doz coignes of vantage, we were whipped the hilfoute one afternoon for moon tain trout, says the World's Work. "Tomorrow," said a voice, "I shall take a shower bath under the seven teen hundred foot fall." "You," said another voice, "are a fool." "Not at all," came back argumentatively. "The river's very low. Wawal there is of it turts to pray in the first hundred feet; it will simply come down like rain. Why, you go under the brusal veil yourself. Only that's prosic. This is something big, Come on." "Not l." But I was there to see. The water, as he had said, came down, a considerable part of it, in rain and spray that flew on the wind incredible distances. But to crawl down, dressed in a bathing suit, closer to the main stream than falls to the pool and upon the rocks with a murderous swish in the air and a roar like a railway train when it strikes was daring to tooth-hardiness. At any moment a veering wind might swing the whole mass upon the tail, simi figure backing tentatively on all fours down the jagged talus slope, his eyeglass pebbles glinting cheerfully. A steady breeze kept the fall swing out a little the other way, and the spray burgeoned out far up the other slope. The roar was deafening. All at once the wind shifted, the water swung back, and in a flash the human figure was blotted out in a deluge that turned me sick. For a second—that seemed an hour—it played on the spot fiendishly, is seemed to me, standing horrified there, and thea slowly it swept away. And then there was a moment, a painful, crawling moment, down the on the slope, and I scrambled down the slippery rocks to neip a blinking creeping, much surprised youth, bleed ing from a hundred cuts, up to where his clothes lay. He was still too dazed to speak. When his breath returned and his extra glasses were perched again on his nose, he said: "The oceans fell upon me. For God's sake, come back to New England!" Curious Resemblance. A curious resemblance exists between ex-Speaker Reed and Pat Sheedy, the noted gambler—especially odd from the fact that, though the big lawyer is often mistaken for the sporting man, the latter is very seldom honored by the reverse error. Mr. Reed sometimes has considerable difficulty in making it clear that he knows naught of horse racing, card games and other sinful amusements. TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM. Astronomer Couldn't Get Line on Young Man and His Best Girl "In science," said the young man, "I have heard you say that the same law, when applied to the motions of all individualized aggregations of atoms, applies with equal persistency, and that, so long as we know what this law is, we can work out any problem to its ultimate conclusion, provided the conditions be such as to determinate the nature of the problem." "Precisely." "We have, then, two bodies of polarized, aggregated animalcule (one of the first degree of density in Marshall's law, and the other of the second), alternately attracted and repulsed by the vibratory motion of Kepler's fourth equation. Moving together through space at the rate of seventeen miles per second, they are retarded by a fractional atmospheric pressure of one ohm to a specific gravity of $3000 a year respectively. The varying degrees of density being duly considered, at the end of thirteen years and six months, what will be their respective relations?" "Where are these bodies at present located in regard to the sun?" "They are in the shade." The kindly old astronomer laid his hand on the other's arm. "My son," he said, nothing is easier in mathematics, once having the point of departure, the rate of speed and the relative degrees of density, to arrive at the location of two moving spatial objects, but I confess I am utterly powerless to get a line on you and your best girl." New York Life. a belief in witchcraft still prevails in parts of Lancashire, also in the isle of Man, and still more strongly in the Hebrides. Stones were formed into the shapes of beetles by the ancient Egyptians. They regarded the beetle as an emblem of immortality, and hence it was the most popular of all forms of ornament. Counterfeit beetles of common stones were commonly buried with dead persons, and it was customary to engrave upon them the expression of wishes for future repose and happiness, dedications of the soul to God and various hieroglyphs. One of the latter was a hawk with a human head, symbolizing resurrection. Another, the vulture, meant maternity. A goose was the son of a king. "She had just refused a man worth a million." "Is it possible? Any rational explanation of her act?" "Oh, yes. She had just accepted another man worth a million." Blobbs—Do you consider it good luck to pick up a pin?

I see you got the shades up at yer best room. ‘Spectin’ Henry and his wife for Thanksgiving?” “Well, yes, Pa some thought the boy'd come home. Thank the Lord, we've got enough an’ no morgidge.

I like to see other folks enjoy themsels if I do hev to eat my dinner alone. "Tis gettin’ awful cold, ‘we'll hev a rippin’ frost tonight.” ‘The hand that held the shawl to- gether was already blue, and she gave {ts occupation to the other one, while she slipped the cold fingers underneath the heavy wool folds that covered her. ‘The old lady at the door closed it al- most shut that draught might not pene- trate the warm kitchen, and politely waited for her guest to say farewell, though she did inwardly wish Susan ‘Whitchouse would not insist upon most of ber visiting on the steps in cold weather. “Well, good by, Mis’ Jenks,” said the caller, at length. “I ‘spose you'll be to meetin’ tomorrow?” ST "spose so. It does seem kind uv outlandish for you t' eat your Thanks- givin’ all alone, Susan, and they say you got @ big turkey.” “1 might better be alone than as some,” retorted Susan somewhat as- persely. “Aa’ I wuz allays fond uv turkey. Good, by, lemme know when Henry comes.” ‘As she hurried down the road to her ‘own house, which stood with no bulld- {ngs between ft and its neighbor, the Jenks’, the late afternoon sun smote the west windows in pleasant farewell. ‘Susan had been bora and bred in the house, and her father and mother had died there, every association of her life centered about some portion of it. ‘and it was always with a sensation of thankfulness and of gratitude to the Gead parents that she entered its threshold, after a brief absence around the neighbarhood. ‘For the Whitehouse homestead had ‘been at once the talk, the envy and the pride of Centerport. it was not enough That Emanuel Whitehouse had always Kept it clear and free from encum- ‘}rance in the most troublous times, but ft was always in first class repair, clean and glittering in its yearly dress of white paint with green trimmings. Tt was not enough for Hlizabeth White- house, widow, to have added the com- modious red barn, with its fanciful modern mechanisms, and to have kept ‘ap garden and orchard after most ap- Proved methods, so that returns were always more than any one else's, but it remainéd for Susan Whitehouse, sole heir and legatee to branch out into un- wonted extravagances, spring bed and hair mattress, new parlor carpet and plush suit, new kitchen range and or- Ramental wood stove, to say nothing of at least two best dresses and a city bonnet. People shook their heads at first, but the old laywer whose counsel Emanuel had always suoght, looked wise and said Emanuel, in spite of his up-to-date methods, had’ been rather “near” and he guessed the mony would hold out for Miss Susan. So from criticism, the little Micht- gan village passed on to the next step, Acceptance and taclt approval, till the admonition, “Don’t tese me for Susan Whitehouse!” grew tO be a check for all prospective spendthritts, Shsan went in at the kitchen door, hung her wool shawl upon its accus- ‘tomed hook, pulled up a curtain to let ‘in, the last fays of the afternoon light and opened the oven door, whence a most savory smell arose, with which the fabled odors of the ‘spice islands compared feebly. ‘A Vlack cat, sleek and fat, jumped from the cushioned rocking-chalr with the slow movements that age gives to man and all animals, and with tal erect, rubbed vigorously against Su- san as she turned one chicken ple around and, rising with another, de- posited it upon the buttery shelf. Near by, a huge turkey lay ready trussed for the morrow's sacrifice. Ples of pumpkin, thick and golden, jostled ples of minée, succulent, érisp’and su- gar-covered, and alternated with small fancy. ples of apples, plums and dried cherries. Jars of preserves and jelly and pears with honey, had been brought up from the cellar to be in readiness, and a great pitcher of fresh cider, made from yellow spice apples, stood’ in one corner In solitary glory. Susan opened the pantry window a bit, for the kitchen fire was hot, and contemplated the good things before her contentediy. To her they. marked the day and she had all her life been accustomed to their abundance at this Season. She knew she should take as much comfort in meeting tomorrow in the thought of her goodly store of pro- visions for the day, as in the satisfac- tion that her new black dress, soft and fine and becomingly made, would give er.» "Closing the pantry door she return- ‘ed to the warm kitchen with a yellow ‘bowl of butternuts and hickory nuts which she began to crack for the Thhaksgiving pudding, till the cat's ‘persistent mewing reminded her that she had forgotten its supper, and she poured out a saucer full of cream and Set {t upon the floor near the stove. Somehow. the attitude of Lord-I- ‘thani:-thee-that-I-am-not-as-other men was particularly accented tonight. by the memory of the Jim Hutton of years and years ago, when she was a girl at the Academy and he had several times accompanied her home and dallied with her boot's at the gate. Poor Jim! Poorer-than the prover- bial church mouse, algo, said the good village councillors rather addicted to some wild ways. All of which, in connectfon with his very black eyes, made him an inter- esting character to Miss Susan White- house, over those delicately cut feat- ures lay the glamour and glow of youth. Papa Emanuel did not approve. ‘A_ne'er-do-well should never squan- der his substance in riotous living, an¢ 80 before {t fairly began, the affair was ended. The next thing that happened was Jim’s sudden marriage with Let- ty Bridgeman. People said they didn't Know as they could blame him, he might as well take care of his’ own children as to have taken care of so many brothers and sisters, and one day Susan, looking down the road from the garden gate where she and Jim had often lingered, saw that the young cou- ple had taken a tiny cottage a piece farther on and there begun their nest- ing. Years passed. One after another five Uttle Huttons tum¥ed in and ont of the cottage, and no other lover came to Susan—Pique glided into indifter- ence and indifference into apathy, as she grew used to seeing Jim and his family. One day she looked in the glass, startled to find that she was 46. jand that Jim Hutton had been a wid- ‘ower for half a dozen years, ‘The cold became more intense with the on-coming darkness. Susan fin- ished the nuts, put the cat in the shed for the night, cut a plece of ple and buttered two’ biscuits for her supper, and put the tea kettle on to boil. By this time the second chicken pic was baked and she placed it by its fellow and, returning to the kitchen, ‘ate her meal and washed up the dishes. “I guess he'd bin better off,” she re- flected, as she rocked peacefully betore the stove, and the thought of the half. Fagged, ever-hungry little Huttons ob- trded upon her reflections, “I reckon there'd bin plenty t’ go round, ennyway, but Lord! f guess I'm jest’ as well ‘thout "tm!” ‘Then she inspected her doors and windows, fixed the fire and went to bed; there was no envy of Iiving or dead in her heart, her state of life supplied all of her simple needs, and she would not have exchanged her position for that of any multi-millionaire. It was about 3 o'clock when she awakened suddenly, conscious of a sound that did not belong to her house- hold. She listened and then sat up in bed. There it was, again and again, somebody was moving stealthily about the kitchen and the pantry just. be- yond. ‘A chill not begotten of the frost-lad- en night rambted up and down Susan's spine. “And I, a lone woman!” she mur- ‘mured, “well, ennyhow, there's no mon- ey here and'my will’s made. It must hey pin thet I ferget“the:buttry win- ‘Just then a sneeze, sudden, vigorous, youthful, followed by a crash of crock- ery, broke in on the darkness; filled ‘with indignation Susan thrust her feet Into her felt bed slippers, threw on a double-gown, it her candle and calling out: @'ye want in this house?” appeared upon the scene before the strange personage could make an exit. “Well, I declare!" exclaimed Miss Whitehouse, contemptously. “Nice thing fer you, Jim Hutton, an’ yer father a church member. Don’t ye know yer a thief?" ‘The lad squared his shoulders def antly, though there was shame in the great’ black eyes, so like another Jim's at his age. In spite of her anger, Su- san remembered that. “Don’t ye know yer a thief?” she re- peated, searchingly, “don't ye know 1 kin hey ye arrested?” “I s'pose you can,” the culprit an- swered sullenly. “You better hurry up and do it before morning.” “What'd ye break in there?” “A dish, T afraid.” “Yer afraid? A pretty idea I call ‘this! What'd ye spose yer father'll say? He's a church-member?” “Father'll whale me,” said the lad coolly, but a moment later he cried. “It’s isn’t father, Miss Whitehouse, herself sick last night’ because we couldn't hev no Thanksgiving this year, with father's losing the only thing we ever did hey on a morgidge.” ‘The lady of the house turned away from him quickly and walked Into the pantry where the strong smell of cider informed her that the pitcher had been broken, by. some unfamiliar touch in the darkness. Sure enough, there was ‘the window open. After ali it was her own fault that she had had a burglar. “Unhandy, Iike all men folks,” she commented as she dried the floor and closed the window, but all the while Some instinct in her breast was urging ‘her to pardon. No call to have Thanksgiving, yet she so near by, had never had more oc- caston to be thankful for her continued prosperity. “What made you come here?” she asked suddenly. “T didn’t mean to. I thought 1 would take enough from somebody thet had plenty, and as I went down the road I saw that there ple in the window and the window was a little bit open.” “And, ye didn’t think it was wrong to steal, T s'pose?” “How old's yer sister?” “Fourteen las’ month; we're twins.” “An’ how many more uv ye?" “Two boys an’ a girl.” Miss Whitehouse began to pack a basket of eatables. “Yer a bad boy t’ steal,” she sald, “an’ I surmise ye'll come up to a bad end, but I'm not goin’ t' harm ye this time. I’m goin’ to send ye home with enough t” eat and not say ennything about it t” yer father er ennybody else. After all, T shouldn't hey left th’ win- der open.” To her intelise surprise, a pair of muscular young arms went round her neck, squeezing her breath out and dis- arranging the tight thin knob of hair under her nightcap. “Well, I never!” she began, “ye've no more manners than a bad bred pape “Yer so good!” said a boy's voice huskily, “but I shan't touch yer things, Miss Whitehouse. I ain't a beggar if I am a thief, an’ father wouldn't eat a dinner o” charity.” “Ye ain't very hungry, then.” “I'm hungry enough.’ We hed some Indian meal mush fer ail day yesterday and day bifore.” “I never heard 0° such work,’ pro- tested Susan, vehemently, to hide her “Here, if yer ao proud ye wunt eat good vittles, ye kin do a little wurk an’ earn yer brekfus. Take this ‘ere pitch- er, th’ mate t’ the one ye broke, go down suller an draw it full, trom the bar'l on yer left. ‘Then ye kin fill up ‘my spare wood-box in the shed. I like ‘t’ hey plenty handy, an’ when yer through ye shall hey a good brekfus.” His quickness surprised her. “I might adopt him. After all; it might seem good t’ hev a man around,” she reflected, watching him drink his cof- fee in great gulps and munch away at a plate of doughnuts, the like of which his soul knew not before, while she interspersed his home confidences with frequent Iterations of her pet exclama- tion: “I never heard o' such work!” “Don’t ye never steal ag'in, Jim,” she admonished; “it's awful wicked, an’ there'll bé some better times com- ing fer ye, Ye mark my words.” And a3 he tramped up the road with a full stomach, force of habit impelled her to call after him: “Shet the gate tight. I'don't want no dogs in here.” Susan continued to look in the di- rection of his retreating figure, until the youthful burglar passed out of sight behind a clump of trees that separated the Hutton house from the highway. ‘The thought that it was only an acci- dent of fate that prevented her from having been Jim Hutton's wife seem- ed to bring the lad and his misde- meanor nearer to her. “He'd a bin diffrunt brought up, though, ef he wuz miné,” she said half aloud, ‘ef she began the day’s work, and let the cat in for its breakfast of cream. Somehow the festival plenty suffocated the woman—the thought of that abundant dinner enjoyed in soli- tary grandeur, appalled her for the first time, Over the sitting-room door hung a motto, worked by Susan in her Acad- emy days. Its cheerful counsel, “Do as you would be done by,” appealed to her with a new sense this morning. “I b'lteve I jest will,” she declared mentally. It is mot recorded that Saint An- thony was ever tempted by appetizing odors, but not even this paragon of fortittde could have withstood the smells of Miss Whitehouse's kitchen that ‘Thanksgiving morning. The tur- Key, whose size had aroused Mrs. Jenks’ criticism, proved to be a king of good fellows, and as he slid, a tight- fit Into the oven which would com- plete his martyrdom. Susan put her shawl over her head and exclaimed: “I'm goin’ t’ do it ennyway. Every- body has got somebody an’ I h’aint. I never heard o’ such work.’ ‘Then she too hurried down the road and vanished behind the trees. Meeting was out, and Mrs. Jenks stood before the sitting-room,looking- glass, taking off her best botnet, and wondering if she had not better run over to find out the reason for her neighbor's absence from church, when she spied a file of persons stopping at Susan's Whitehouse’s gate. “Mary, come here quick!’ she called to her daughter. “Ain't those the Hut~ tons goin’ into Susan's? What in the world! Those ain't the Huttons, are they, all of ’em?” “Yes, they are, ma,” replied her daughter. “There's Mr. Hutton an’ Mary, an’ Jim an’ Letty an’ the two boys.” “What in the world!” repeated Mrs. Jenks, with lively interest, sitting down in the rocking chair and peer- Ing, while Mary hing over the arm. “Of all human beings, Susan White- house is th’ queerest!” But neither she nor Mary could hear Jim Hutton’s admonition to his son as ‘they entered the gate he remembered 0 well: “See thet ye don't go t’ misbehavin’ here an’ worryin’ her. Ye've got the making of a man before ye, an’ she's oman woman”: THE SEASON. How rich are these days of the year, with its death, its life, its resurrection in their hours! They are full of mir- cies. ‘The year's setting is near at hand and November is the twilight of the painted leaves whose glories make Oc- tober the sunset month. The exuber- ance of finished vegetation strikes one everywhere. Squashes and pumpkins dot the fields, orchards are full of ap- ple heaps, toothsomely fellowed, flam- ing sumachs outline walls and’ road- side, flaunting bushes set the pastures and fields afire, withered vines and weeds le thick on the brown earth, a final and transient inirst of brightness reflects the glory of the spent season. ‘At night, solemn and stately, the har- vest moon gives a gray glitter to the landscape, objects bristle, for the air is clear and cold ,and shadows stalk before and stretch out behind. Every sound is crisp, and barns and farm- houses show the twinkle of harvest lights, Most of the barns are full of the odor of dried ferns and flowers that have been entangled and cut down with the grasses. ‘The mellow flavor of the harvest seems to pervate the whole farmhouse. Strings of peppers, bunches of herbs, long necked squashes, braided seed- corn, all the summer forage of the field, hang thick upon the kitchen beams, ‘The celjar beneath is full of the fatness of the past season. The prosperous farmer by his own hearthstone is a homely picture of content. As he sits with the glow of harvest peace upon him, the eternal glory of the outlying Iandscape comes in through the win- dows, Soft, shadowy and gray, the skeleton trees and almost naked woods, seem to be thrust out in aerial mezzo- tint, while the firelight streaming out- ward beyond the panes, joins hands with the moonlight and dances over field and pasture to the distant hills. THANKSGIVING AND THE CHIL- DREN. Encourage the children to help in the Thanksgiving preparations, the Uttle ones love to be busy, and will work cheerfully {f they are only shown how. Let them at least pare the apples and stone the raisins, and they will feel a proprietorship in the feast. Mid- day dinners are best where the chil- dren participate, and leave plenty of time afterwards for the games, which even the Pilgrim Fathers did not dis- dain, If stories are to be told in the twi- light, plenty of the most interesting material can be found in the “Chroni- cles of the Pilgrims,” by Alexander Young. All children like Mrs. Hemans’ poem, “Landing of the Pilgrim Fath- ers.” The stern endurance of the Ply- mouth colony is a fascinating subject. ‘The day should close with merry- making and fun, but the deeper lessons that it brings must not be forgotten. Gratitude is not a characteristic of childhood, which accepts what is done for it as a right, but even the very little ones can be told in simple language the meaning of the day, and that true thankfuiness should prompt us to share our blessings with others. The blessedness of giving is in itself a won- derful education.

OKLAHOMA BRIEFS. Oklahoma's prospects for statehood are good, notwithstanding the partial Democratic victory last week. Okia- homa is not trying to obtain her state- hood under talae pretenses.

In the message he anticipates statehood in the near future and asks the people to return praise for that fact.

A party of United States engineers and some friends were taking a trip down the Tennessee river to visit the Mussel shoals improvements. General Joe Wheeler and General John T. Wilder were among the guests. General Wheeler fell into a remissent mood, and was talking freely of civil war days, during which he commanded a division of Confederate cavalry. General Wilder commanded a Federal cavalry brigade, and more than once the two warriors met in battle. "Right there," said General Wheeler, pointing out the place indicated, "I crossed the river with my command, under some difficulties." "Yes, promptly responded General Wilder; "I remember the occasion very well, indeed. I was right behind you with my command."—New York Times.

"Reed responded in a manner that was more of a shake for the man than for his hand, and went on with his talk. When our friend over there came to the door, he said: "You didn't seem to be happy over him, Reed. Who is your friend, anyway?" "Reed drawn out: He's a fellow from New York who knows more men who don't want to know him than any other man in the United States." For the first time in the history of Colorado politics a woman was arrested last week on the charge of repeating.

FINE HUNTIAG IN ALASKA No Reference to Gold But to Cariboa and Moose. "I have just returned from what is, I think, the finest hunting country in the world," said Alfred Brooks, United States geologist, to the Eagle correspondent. "I refer to the central part of Alaska from Cook's inlet over to the Yukon. A government party, of which I was one, spent the past summer in that country journeying some 800 miles of territory. Apparently no white men had been in there before, and Indians are seen rarely. We did not see a human being for three months, outside of our own party, not even catching a glimpse of an Alaskan Indian. The latter occasionally enter that country in the winter, when transportation is easy by means of sleds over the frozen snow. There is any quantity of game of all kinds in the kodnac grizzlies, which is the largest of the bear species. Like the other animals, they are not very wild, and like the rest of their kind, were not vicious unless molested. I got within 100 feet of one without any sign of hostility on his part. I saw but one black bear, but in some parts of that country they are plentiful. "The most abundant game in Central Alaska is the caribou, of which we saw hundreds, if not thousands. They are not the same animal as the Philippine caribou. The Alaskan caribou is a large deer which frequents the region above timber, living off moss and other vegetation. In the winter they move in large herds, but in the summer they are seen in small groups. They are remarkably tame, and are very curious, some of them coming within fifty feet of us to investigate our pack wagons. We shot many moose, which are very tame also. Mountain sheep are seen in abundance, differing in color from the sheep of the Rockies in that they are snow white."—Brooklyn Eagle. There have been some amazing bids for pictures, but a story told by the late Mr. Nettleship, whose death was passed without the notice it deserved, shows that the value of a painting is not always highly rated. A friend of Mr. Nettleship was at work on a landscape, painting out of doors, when a farmer came up and asked what he would take for his picture. Even the artist was modest—"About fifteen pounds" was all he asked. But the farmer was more modest still "Fifteen pounds!" he whistled. "I'll tell you what I'll do. You come along o' me and I'll give you seven-and-six and your tea."

She was his friend and neighbor down in Indianapolis. By the way, for real intellectual entertainment give me the conversation of intelligent women, who they are as delightful to talk with, as rule, as younger women are to look at. "Well, this resident of old Indianapolis remembered a good Beecher story. After Mr. Beecher went to Brooklyn he came back to Indianapolis on a visit. His old friends, particularly his old neighbors, were only too glad to rally around him, and an elaborate public reception in his honor was immediately projected. As it was nonsecular—Mr. Beecher being a general favorite—the managers inadvertently arranged to have it occur on Wednesday evening—he was invited to a night in old Indianapolis. It did not occur to them that might interfere with other people's anticipations in connection with the eminent preacher. However, the reception came off and was largely attended. "Late in the evening, among the guests appeared a rather severe-looking elderly man, a Mr. William Blank, who, it was evident, was not at all in a genial or even amiable frame of mind. He approached the great divine, greeted him with somewhat reserved cordiality, and then said, in tones audible to all bystanders, and with a decidedly rebuking air: 'Mr. Beecher, this is prayer meeting night. I went to the First Presbyterian prayer meeting, to the Third Presbyterian prayer meeting, and to the Fourth Presbyterian prayer meeting, according to meet the Lord Jesus and Henry Ward Beecher.' "Here the good man stopped "Well, Mr. Blank" retorted Mr. Beecher, "it is plainly evident that you didn't find either of us.""—Detroit Free Press. MYSTERY OF BAG SOLVED. Much to the Relief of Man With a Consuming Thirst. While the crowd was rushing by the gate at the Union depot yesterday afternoon a jute bag was left resting against the iron rolling. No one apparently noticed it, but a man with a nose like a crushed strawberry leaned over the gate. Probably he was considering whether it wasn't a long way to Colorado Springs, and if a bottle of beer at Palmer Lake would be enough to satisfy a man with a thirst like his during a two hours' ride. Anyway, he suddenly straightened up and passed his hand across his eye nervously, and stared at the crowd. The deputy of broke out on his forehead, and he fingered the stubble on his chin with trembling hand and took a half step forward. Just then Depot Policeman Love remarked to some one standing near. "That sack moved, I believe." The man with the combination nose and thirst insisted in relief. Others had seen it then, and it was all right. "Full of rattlesnakes," suggested Gateman Bourne. Bourne has been gateman 12 years, and has seen even worse things than bags of rattlesnakes carried through. But the suggestion turned the man with the nose pale. "Perhaps it's a baby, like the one left in the woman's lap on a train the other day," remarked a motherly looking woman who had hated to have her ticket examined. "It will smother in there, if it is," said a truckman, who was passing. All doubt as to the nature of the contents was suddenly removed when the man came up with more unseasonal and there came a loud "Quack." Just then a son of the celestial kingdom swooped down on the bag, and as he sailed out the gate with his pigtail in the air he remarked: "Denver gluck, allee samee good as Idaho Spling gluck."—Denver News.

The following is a case in point: In a dispute over a right of way, the agent for the landlord who objected to a press examining a venerable laborer, who had testified that to his own personal knowledge there had been a right of way over the disputed land since he was a boy of 15. "And how old are you now?" asked the lawyer. "Eighty-five." You can't remember things which occurred when you were a boy of 5, eighty years ago?" said the lawyer, in affected incredulity. "Deed an' I can, sir. I can mind a year after that, when your father—auk Skinfint, as we used to call him." "That will do.

HE REMEMBERS CATHERINE Russian Peasant, 127 Years of Age, Has Audience With Czar. The czar of Russia recently received in audience a man who, from personal knowledge, could tell the ruler about the times of Catherine the Great, the Napoleonic invasion, and Crimea. His name is Sipin (when he was born Russian masseuses had no family name). He is 127 years old and his father owner, Prince Wolkowski, was able to furnish the following authenticated data about him from his own archives: "Sipin was born in 1775 as a serf, and drinks vodka and smokes as long as he can remember. Three pints are his limit, but he never was drunk in his life." As the czar was able to perceive himself, Sipin's eyesight and hearing are perfect to this day. Every Sunday he walks eight miles to church and never has required charity of any kind. He still earns his bread by knitting and sandal making; also tends to the horses and the animals. The czar is most remarkable. He told Nicholas several facts regarding the Napoleonic invasion not contained in general history. Sipin's father died at 80, his mother at 120, working as a field hand up to a few days before her death, and Sipin himself never had a day of illness—St. Louis Republic.

PRETTY STORY OF THE STORK. Why one Norwegian Town Admires the Ungainly Bird. In a certain town of Norway the figure of a stork appears on the church and over many of the houses. Tourists who go there often find on sale on every hand images of the stork in silver and gilt, or carved in wood. The story of the origin of this sign of the stork is unusual and most interesting. The hero of the tale is Conrad Jonassen, whose name will be forever associated with the stork. Many years ago, when Conrad was a boy, a stork built its nest on the roof of the house. Conrad and his mother fed the bird and so encouraged its return. In time the boy went to sea. One day the ship fell into the hands of pirates, and Conrad, with his shipmates, was sold into slavery in Africa. Hardships and indignities of all sorts were heaped upon them for three years. One day Conrad saw a stork flying about overhead, and was filled with homeick longings. He whistled to the bird as he used to do at home, and to his delight the stork came near and finally alighted as if expecting to be fed. He had nothing to give the bird then but the next day he saved a part of his breakfast, hoping that the stork would come again. It did, and for several days continued to come. At length it occurred to the home-sick slave that the stork would soon be flying north again, and like an inspiration came the thought that by means of the bird he might send a message which might possibly fall into the hands of his friends. He wrote a few lines on a bit of tough paper and bound it fast to the stork's leg. A few days later the bird disappeared. One day Mrs. Jonassen noticed the stork, which had returned again to its nest, on the roof, picking at something on its leg. She fed the bird, caught it and removed the bit of paper. Fancy the mother's feelings when she found it to be a message from her own son, long since given up for lost. It would be too long a story to tell of the interest of the parish, of the money raised, the expedition sent to rescue Conrad and his mates. All this took place, however, and Conrad Jonassen came home. In after years he became a rich man, and did much for the welfare of his native town. The stork was never forgotten, and it is small wonder that it became the emblem of the Norwegian town.—Youth's Companion. WORKING PEOPLE INTERESTED Wuertsburg, Wis., Nov. 17—The working men and women of this district are greatly interested in the case of hary Kowsky who, in an interview, says: "I have almost all my life been a sufferer from backache and two years ago I caught cold in my Kidneys and the agonies that followed were almost unbearable. "I consulted different doctors but the relief they gave me was only temporary. The terrible pains always returned and my suffering tempted me to try godd's Pills. They did good almost from the start till now after taking three boxes I am almost completely cured.

Mr. Frederic Philip Mennel, F. G. S. the curator of the Rhodesia Museum, Bulawayo, read a most interesting paper recently to the members of the Anthropological Section of the British Association at their meeting at Belfast on the subject of "The Khami Ruins near Bulawayo." He said that all over the territory between the Zambesi and the Limpopo, now known as Southern Rhodesia, were numerous structures testifying to a former occupation of the country by a race far more advanced in the arts than the Bantu tribes, who were shown by Arab records to have inhabited the country for fully 2,000 years. The Khami ruins, situated 12 miles Bulawayo, might, be taken as typical. They consisted of about dozen separate structures showing the usual mortalless walls faced with carefully squared granite blocks about twice as large as an ornary brick. These walls were about three feet thick and rose perpendicularly, without any batter as a rule, to heights of ten feet to twenty feet or more. The exterior walls roughly conformed to the shape of the ground available, or were more or less circular, but the interior ones ramified about in a most intricate manifold. The principal ruin had three sets of walls at different levels. The main entrance had square ends to the walls on either side, and recent excavations had revealed the fact that a series of stone-built steps led up to it from the foot of the slope. In other cases the walls were rounded off at the entrances, and rounded buttresses support them at times. Other devices in the way of decoration were the "chessboard" and "herring-bone" patterns, formed by varying positions of the facing blocks and the introduction of dark-colored dolerite blocks to contrast with the granite. It had been stated that these structures could not have been roofed in, and in only one instance out of many hundreds was a covered entrance known. At Dhlo Dhloruins, however, there were the remains of wooden posts let into the masonry, and these had now been found at Khami also. It was possible that they were intended, in some cases at least, as supports for a roof. That the buildings were intended primarily as forts could be inferred from their inaccessible situations, their nar- row and well-commanded entrances, and the fact that the sides of some of the hills on which they were built had evidently been artificially steepened. Many objects of interest had been discovered at Khamil, most of which were now in the Rhodesia Museum, Bulawayo. The pottery and the articles made of copper and iron were probably in nearly all cases the work of later occupants of the ruins than the builders. Discrimination was rendered difficult by the obvious fact that the natives had copied the designs of the earlier workers. This might indicate either that they were the degenerate descendants of the builders of these remarkable structures, or that their ancestors were forced to work for the latter as slaves, probably the correct explanation. Peculiar flat, oval-shaped stones, sometimes pleried with a hole near one end, were among the ancient articles; and so were the numerous gold ornaments, which included chain and wire work, tacks for fastening beaten gold on to wood, and gold beads of all shapes and sizes in every stage of manufacture. There were no inscriptions of any kind in any of the ruins, nor of iron tools such as must have been used in dressing the stone for building. The tools might well have rusted away during the thousands of years that had almost certainly elapsed since they were laid aside, but the absence of inscriptions was not so easy to explain if these structures were the work, as had been contended, of the Sabeaneans of Arabia. At the present day, on the best authorities, there are 250,000,000 Musselmans in the world. The Christian population is put at 447,000,000, but the increase of Islam is more rapid than that of its sister religion. The trial has begun at Prague, Bohemia, of Alois Mueller and Peter Von Schlecht on charges of trafficking in forged patents of nobility. It is alleged that Mueller has duped the buyers of such patents to the extent of $100,000. It is claimed that you can drive nails into hard wood without bending them if you dip them first in lard. Silver-pointed fox fur, which is liberally sprinkled with long white hairs, is one of the number of comparatively inexpensive furs which are used this season for trimming costumes of zibeline, camel's hair, boudle cloth, and similar shaggy fabrics so much the vogue. The pets are also used for the broad, flat neck scarfs and directoire muffs. The whole number of Seminole Indians, as shown by a census just taken, is but 339. Nearly all of them are in the Florida Everglades. TURTLE AS RACE HORSE. Little Ones Enjoy Rides on Clumsy Creatures' Backs. The latest amusement for children in Germany is tortoise racing, which Prof. Carl Hagenback, the renowned German zoologist, has caused to be immensely popular at the gardens in Stellingen. When Hagenback recently received consignment of half a dozen of these clumsy creatures, weighing from 120 to 250 pounds each, he let them roam at large for a short time in the grounds surrounding his villa, and one of his grandchildren became imbued with the idea that it would be great fun to use one of them as a horse. When one of the giant tortoise is experimented upon he seemed to enter into the fun as much as the children, and the consequence was that the eight big tortoises in the zoological garden were brought out day after day, and soon became so practiced in their new role that they would walk about with children as though they were nothing more than feathers on their thick shells. No whips or strings are used to guide these awkward mounts, but each rider is given a stout stick with a cabbage tied to it, which is always held a few inches ahead of the tortoise. Every now and then the juvenile rider allows his steed to get a nibble of the tempting morsel he is chasing around the yard, and thus keeps up his enthusiasm. Hagenback's unique idea has got abroad, children from all over Germany have ridden his tortoises. When a real race is contemplated, the eight big fellows are brought up in a line, a juvenile jockey crawls upon the great shell, and at the given word the cabbages are stuck out in front of the tortoises. Tortoises are great animals to sleep, but if anything on earth will arouse them quickly it is the odor of cabbages. So in the majority of cases they are at a fall in pursuit of the horse. In the second round once started, a good deal depends on the jockeys.

There is a hospital in New York for consumptive children, as well as for older people with the same disease, and I gave the dolls to a physician who is connected with that hospital. He said afterward he wished I could have seen the children trooping toward him, each carrying a doll. But the most touching thing to me was what the nurse told the doctor, that after every child was turned with a doll there were a number left, and the poor women dying with consumption asked if each might have a doll. They all wanted them, and to each the dolls were given, and the nurse said she could not have dreamed if they 'seeing such a comfort to those poor sick women. There were just enough dolls for each to have me.
