ALLIED PRINTING TRADEES COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1901. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Any right that is worth exercising, is worth contending for. Afro-Americans are too backward and too slow in contending for and asserting their rights under the law. When denied your civil rights, fight for them in the courts if it costs your last dollar. The respect for you and the race will increase in proportion to the activity shown along the line suggested. The Afro-American republican was conspicuous in the recent state convention as a result of his absence. There were not more than three or four "colored" delegates. The great county of Cuyahoga, in which Cleveland is located, for the first time in many years sent all white delegates. We are sorry to see Prosecutor Harvey Keeler's interview in last Saturday's Plain Dealer in which he continued to pound away at Ruthven notwithstanding the fact that the latter's body was all that was left for him (Keeler) to strike at. Our prosecutor has not done himself much credit in his many interviews on Ruthven and his body, since the latter's conviction in the criminal court room. The persons who controlled the committee on resolutions of the Ohio republican convention could DO about as much as they had said in the resolutions adopted, of special interest to Afro-Americans, IF THEY WOULD. But they won't! SO don't be misled by the resolutions. (This, especially, to our contemporaries.) We demand more sincerity and less hypocrisy from those at the head of our government. Sheriff Barry, of this city, on his return from Columbus last week made a statement to the daily newspapers to the effect that Rev. W. M. Langford was convinced before the execution of Ruthven that the condemned man was guilty of the murder of Patrolman Shipp. This the reverend denies most emphatically in a letter to the editor of this paper part of which is published upon our first page to-day. It will not be difficult to understand the motive prompting Barry's and many other like misstatements of local officials (white) anent the Ruthven case. About 15 years ago in Pittsburg, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, a man by the name of Smalls, who had a bad record, was tried, convicted of the murder of another man by the name of Jacobs and sentenced to be hung. The case was appealed to a higher court where the verdict, was sustained. An appeal was then made to Gov. Beaver and the pardon board. The first stay of sentence was for 30 days, the second for 60 days and the third for 30 days. Smalls was finally hung, however. Two years afterward a man on his death-bed sent for a priest and confessed to the killing of Jacobs. All persons concerned in this case were whites. It is needless to add that Smalls, an innocent man, was convicted on CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence and sent to his death. This is almost a parallel of the Ruthven case. Who can say it is not? Hon. Harry C. Smith, the only Negro member of the Ohio legislature, was defeated recently. He was anti-Hanna, hence result.-Texas Guide. Our good friend, Editor Baughman, of The Guide, is mistaken when he intimates that Hanna was in control of our county convention. Just the opposite was true (as usual in recent years). We were not renominated because of the miserable treachery of "friends" (anti-Hanna) who were in complete control of the convention. Judge Price, who was nominated for supreme court judge in the state republican convention held recently at Columbus, cracked the Hanna "state" slate, and seriously, too. Therefore our friend was again wrong when he said: "The Hanna faction completely ran away with the Ohio state republican convention and conducted affairs as they saw fit." THE RUTHVEN CASE. Ruthren's last words have shaken the belief of thousands of people of all classes who had previously felt that the boy was guilty of murder. From beginning to end his was a remarkable case. There can be no doubt but that prejudice entered largely into the result. Of course the fact that an officer of the law was killed also had much to do with it. Notwithstanding these and other facts which possibly should be considered, it does seem strange that the lone Afro-American charged with murder and convicted on CIRCUM- STANTIAL evidence should be electrocuted, and the 22 or 23 white murderers, confessed and convicted on direct and circumstantial evidence in the courts of Cleveland last and thus far this year, should all get off with sentences ranging from four years to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. Not even one white murderer of the 22 or 23 is electrocuted, but the only Afro-American charged with the crime and convicted on circumstantial evidence none too strong, is sent to the chair. There is doubt as to his guilt and will always be, because no one saw Officer Shipp killed, no one KNOWS who killed him, no one could or can swear that Ruthven killed him. The element of doubt as to who murdered the officer cannot help but remain. Ruthven's last word were: "I am innocent." Nobody but God Almighty Himself knows whether he told the truth or a lie with death staring him in the face and but a few seconds away. To the last he protested his innocence, and we are free to admit that it has had its effect upon us as well as upon the masses of our people and all other classes that have given this remarkable case proper attention. We have been and always will be opposed to a verdict of murder in the first degree which brings death as the result of conviction on circumstantial evidence, and that is one reason why we urged Gov. Nash to commute Ruthven's sentence to life imprisonment and felt, and still feel more than ever, that he ought to have done so. Another reason was and is, that of the white murderers referred to in the time stated, some confessed to crimes far more brutal than the one with which Ruthven was charged, and none of them were electrocuted. Thosands of people, black and white, visited the church in Columbus where the remains of Ruthven lay in state and where the funeral services were held, viewed the remains and left the church with a feeling that many thousands now hord throughout the state, only in a much greater degree. To-day they look upon the boy more in the light of a martyr than a murderer. Whether this is the proper thing or not, the condition exists, and will continue. It is not difficult to foresee the result which may be unfortunate but is none the less certain. We are indeed sorry that Gov. Nash failed to commute Ruthven's sentence to life imprisonment. CURIOUS BURIAL FASHIONS. Queer Coffins Used by West African Negroes for Burying Their Leading People. On the Ivory Coast in West Africa, between the Rivers Bandama and Nzi, there lives a curious negro tribe, known as the Baule, and which is a mixture of several races. So curious is it that M. Maurice Delafosse, a colonial official, has thought it well worthy of study, and he now narrates some interesting facts about it, says the New York Herald. The coffins used by these negroes, he says, are rectangular and each is fashioned carefully out of a large block of acaju wood. The sides, moreover, are ornamented with colored bas-reliefs, and the cover is usually wrought in most artistic style. As an example of such a cover, M. Delafosse presents one, which was made in 1895 for the mummy of a chieftain, named Nyango Kuassi. On it the chieftain is represented lying on a leopard skin, which has been artistically engraved, the spots therein being shown by squares, cut out of the wood. Above the dead man is an engraving of an umbrella, the symbol of his high position on earth, and beneath it a box of cartridges has been drawn. On the left is represented the gold-hilted saber which he wore on parade, and above it is an engraving of his favorite drinking cup. On the right in like manner may be seen drawings of his dagger and of his gun. Below the corpse is a death's head and the figure of a woman, who is holding in her hand a saucer, filled with bread. The death's head represents that one among the dead man's slaves who, according to ancient custom, should have been sacrificed at the time of his death, but whose life was spared at the intercession of M. Delafosse. Ordinary Baule negroes are buried as soon as they die, but those of high rank are rarely buried for seven months, and some even are not buried for seven years. In the latter cases the body is duly embalmed, and then remains in the room where death occurs until it is placed in the coffin. Salt, alcohol and palm wine are the main ingredients used in embalming, and cotton, with which gold dust is sometimes mixed, serves to conceal the openings which the operator has made in the body. Frequently thin plates of gold are also placed as a shield over the countenance, and all the ornaments that were worn in life are spread over the body. So the dead man lies on the mat where he died, and such is the influence of the air and the heat that within two months his body is transformed into a mummy. This was what happened to the body of Nyango Kuassi, for it lay seven months in the death chamber before it was taken out to burial. Royal Thoughtfulness. The king of Italy, as a boy, was not allowed much pocket money; it was necessary for his father to exercise the utmost economy. One day the present king, when quite a lad, astonished his mother by asking her how much a silk dress would cost. She told him, whereupon he said: "I haven't quite so much as that, but if you'll let me go alone some morning I think I can go to some shop where they won't know me and get one. I want to give it to my nurse. Her best gown is really quite shabby."—Chicago Record-Herald. A Tight Fit. Mrs. Cobwigger — Whenever you mislay anything you blame me. What in the world would I do with your shoehorn? Cobwigger—I don't see how else you could get into that bathing suit you wear.—Judge. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1901. WORKING OF CURFEW LAW. Satisfactory Results of Its Enforcement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Newport has back its old bells and is ready for the introduction of the curfew law in this one particular. A word from the chief of police in Cambridge, Mass., has just been published in favor of this means for preserving the innocence of the children. Cambridge was formerly one of the worst towns known for the extent of its juvenile deprivacy. All this is changed now, and the New England air of respectability is again a feature of Cambridge life by night as well as by day. The law affects the conduct of the children at all hours. For those who fear something too arbitrary for our system of life in this curfew law the explanation of the Bangor chief of police as to its enforcement may be a help in seeing the advantage of having it, says the Newport (R. I.) News. He says of the curfew: "I believe it is a grand success. We have very little complaint now of children being out after hours, but when one does come in it is from some section of the city not covered by the officers regularly, and an officer sent a few times to that locality speedily breaks it up. I do not believe our people would suffer the children to be out to any great extent without calling the attention of the police department to their duty in the matter. It was not long since that a friend who lives in a section of the city where children are, to say the least, very plenty, said to me that it was astonishing to him how soon the children disappeared from the street corners near his home at the stroke of the curfew. I presume that some people may have the same idea that some of our own had—namely, that the police were going to enforce this ordinance in an arbitrary manner, and that no child near the age mentioned would be allowed to be seen on the street after the curfew sounded. We did not intend anything of the kind. Children who, for any good reason, are on the streets are never bothered by the officers any more than before the passage of the ordinance. But when a child has been given fair warning and then keeps it up, it is locked up and punished." WANT FRENCH OYSTERS. In Great Demand Among Some Gothamites Who Will Not Eat the Home Product. To an average New Yorker the oyster is essentially American. Whether served in cocktail, on the half-shell, roasted, stewed, broiled, panned, escalloped, or even in that abomination, a fry, the oyster stands out on the New York bill of fare as a national contribution to the table. Yet there are hundreds of men here who scorn the native Blue Point, Chincoteague, Prince's Bay or Saddle Rock. They care only for the oyster imported from France, says the New York Sun. French oysters are not to be had in Fulton market, nor in any of the famous oyster houses or "bays" of New York. For about two days in each week, in their season, the bivalve from the other side can be had by favored patrons of one University place establishment. At the breakfast hour—one o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday—provided the French steamers come into port on time—and until Monday night, the imported oyster is dished up to those happy mortals who are in the blue book of Mr. Restaurateur. Unless conveyed by one of the habitues of the place, the transient patron will ask in vain for the delicacy so highly esteemed by epicures of the French colony. M. Boyard, busy with Panama canal interests, has preempted a generous share. Like other regular patrons of the hotel, he never fails to leave, in advance of the arrival of the steamer, a written order with the proprietor for his bivalves. If you visit the resort on Monday, you find that the entire consignment of French oysters has been "underwritten." To a New Yorker, permitted by courtesy of one of a group of monopolists to sample the imported oyster, there is little inducement to desert the product of the Great South bay, Long Island sound or the Chesapeake beds. Still, as with olives, caviar, or the alligator pear, if the taste is not born to one it may be acquired by perseverance. Our Paper Industry Fifty pounds of paper for each individual was the amount consumed in this country last year. The United States puts 6,000,000,000 pounds on the market annually, according to the latest statistics, and has about 1,000 mills engaged in the paper manufacture. This industry has grown from one little mill that manufactured paper from rags in Philadelphia in 1600. While the output has increased so tremendously, and the demand has caused the substitution of wood pulp for ingredients used in the early manufacture, the principle on which it is made remains practically the same as that of China centuries ago. We not only consume more paper than any other country, but we are reaching out for the markets of the world, and with our output furnish railways and steamships with about 7,500,000 tons of freight a year.—Paper Trade Journal. Costly Sickness Bill—Are you working for that doctor yet? Jill—Yes; but he's pretty small potatoes. "Is, is he?" "Why, yes; the other day I didn't feel well, and I left my work and went into his office to see what was the matter with me." "I see; he charged you regular price for a visit, I suppose?" "Yes, he did that and more; he docked me on pay day for the time I was in his office."—Yonkers Statesman. Plausible Theory Lawyer—Where were you on the afternoon in question? Witness—I was at a ball game with a couple of friends. "Friends, huh! A couple of thieves, no doubt." "Very likely, sir; they were both lawyers." -Chicago Daily News. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. England spends £580,000 a year on blacking. Express trains in Russia do not run over 22 miles an hour. St. Petersburg's cabs charge half the fare for women that they do for men. The French census shows that the population of France has decreased by 12,883 in five years. The United Kingdom uses 290,000 tons of tallow a year—that is, 18 pounds for each inhabitant. The government of Prussia is about to establish public libraries. For cities, permanent libraries and public reading rooms will be maintained, while for the rural districts movable libraries will be supplied. In Sweden they have a land arrangement of this kind: The farmer will give a tenant so many acres of ground, provided the tenant will give him so many days labor for so many years, the labor to be paid as wanted. The skin of the whale is from two inches to two feet thick, and the skin of a large specimen weighs 30 tons. The rhinoceros is the thickest skinned quadruped, with a hide so tough as to resist the claws of a lion or tiger, the sword, or the balls of an old-fashioned musket. The Quakers have the distinction of having built the first meeting-house in Boston. It was in Brattle street, and dates back to 1692. This was disused in 1708, and the society moved to Congress street. The Quakers suffered every species of cruelty establishing their faith in Boston; scourging and imprisonment were the mild forms of prevention at first employed. Banishment and the loss of an ear was subsequently substituted. WONDERFUL BOY BILLIARDIST Is Among the Very Best Cue Artists and Is Only Twelve Years Old. There are probably 10,000 persons in this city who play billiards every day and many of them are well advanced in life and have played the game from youth up and yet with all their practice and study combined with the power of maturity there are not more than half a dozen in the entire lot who can play the game as well as little 12-year-old Willie Hoppe. Willie is a child in every sense of the word until he comes to the billiard table, when he at once becomes a man full grown and a great genius. Recently he made 200 points in three innings at the very difficult game of 18 inch balk line with a run of 176. a performance that is seldom equaled by the greatest experts of the world. There is probably no billiard player living to-day who has so easy, natural and perfect a stroke as Willie Hoppe. There is no player that shows better judgment or is more resourceful, there is no player who plays a more scientific game or one there is more pleasure to look at; there is no one who can get the balls under control quicker or keep them much longer. The only drawback to Willie's play is a lack of strength to make around-the-table shots or to endure the strain of a long run. In addition he is one of the most lovable of children, a perfect little gentleman, quiet, unassuming, good-natured, good-hearted, has lots of nerve and seldom gets rattled. One of the most wonderful things about him is his indifference to disturbing conditions. Nearly all billiard players have to have a certain cue or a certain set of balls or a certain table or they cannot play, not so with Willie. He takes any cue and any set of balls and any old table and goes right ahead as though everything was just as he would like to have it. He was never known to kick. Willie's health has not been very good lately and he does not eat much. Mr. Bensinger thought he might be homesick, so he asked him if he did not want to go home for awhile. "Oh, I'm not homesick," he replied, "but I'd like to see my mamma." Stis' Retort Silenced Him A small miss of this city was on her good behavior. She was promised some coveted ribbons like Lucy's in the event of her successful accomplishment of certain domestic duties. For one thing, she was supposed to clear away the dinner dishes. "Stis, come on and put on the gloves," tantalized Manus from outside the open window. Stis is the strenuous and adored playfellow of her brothers. "Can't," laconically. "Have to get the table 'read.'" "Aw, gawn, tables ain't read—nothing is read only but books!" came the facetious answer. She was poising a blue plate by the rim dangerously over a hand-painted sugar bowl. "You better guess again," she replied, quickly. "If you read your tables better you wouldn't be such a dune at 'rithmetic!" Manus hasn't fixed upon a retort vet.—Duluth News Tribune. Maple Sugar Biscuit. In making maple sugar biscuit prepare an exceptionally rich, tender baking powder crust. Roll out about half the thickness of an ordinary biscuit and shape with a small cutter not much larger than a silver dollar. The top to a small baking powder can or cover to a tea caddy make good cutters. As each biscuit is cut out cut in halves again, sprinkle small bits of the maple sugar over one-half of the biscuit dough, moisten the other half and press it over the first. Lay close together in the pan in which they are baked, so they will rise instead of spreading. Brush over with milk or melted butter and bake in a quick oven until they are broken, but not hard. Serve as soon as done, with saucers of warm melted sirup.—Washington Star. A Sly Dig. Mrs. Pepprey—There's something peculiar about that couple who just moved in next door. She's receiving attentions from a married man who're in love with her. Mr. Pepprey—What's unusual about that? "Well, the married man in question is her husband." — Philadelphia Press. CURRENT TOPICS.

King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics, OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozono is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send to us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozono and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases. Also removes all facial imperfections, and actually removes small-pox pits. We will also include one fancy jar of our Electrical Skin Food—Nature's great beautifier—removes wrinkles, moth patches, freckles, and all facial blemishes; makes the o. look young and the young look younger. We will also include one package of our celebrated Scalp Soap, which is absolutely CHEMICALLY PURE, and no soap but a pure soap should ever A. B. CLAIRVOYANT. MRS.

This is because they have not consulted the Medium, who has people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marsh. You should yourselves as she understands the spellings in evil influence.

The world is as we find it, Whether for good or ill; The path is oft-times stony, Leads oft-times up the hill; But when we reach the summit, And find there peace and rest, We, then, forget the journey And feel, God knoweth best. The world is as we take it, Whether for ill or good; The path lies through the brambles, And often through the wood; But if we look beyond it, Where shines the light of day. We'll bravely journey onward; "God knoweth best"—we say. The world is as we make it; We reap both good and ill; The seed we sow in passing, Up-spring from wood and hill; Before we reach the summit, The flowers may be but weeds, Unless we tread with gladness God's path—He knows our needs. —Mrs. D. F. Thompson, in N. Y. Ob server. NIGHT had settled over the mountains of Tennessee—night with the darkness intensified by the mountain mists. A lonely cabin nestled amid the rocks on Pine mountain and watched with its one window another cabin on Snake mountain, across the ravine, and from this window a light shone, like a star on the mountain. Below, in the valley, squatted the little village of Craig's Hollow. A horseman rode up and drew rein before the cabin. "Halloa!" he shouted. The door was opened and the light within revealed the form of a young man in the doorway. A pistol shot from the horseman was echoed by a volley of rifles from behind the surrounding rocks. The man in the doorway fell upon his face with a groan, and the light within was immediately extinguished. Leaning on the weather-beaten fence that surrounded the cabin on Snake mountain Blanche Burton stood. Bruno, her dog, lay sleeping at her feet. She had a good view of Pine mountain, and she could see the occasional flash of a rifle long before she could hear the report. And after awhile the shooting ceased and all became quiet and dark, but still she stood by the fence, the dog at her feet and the night breeze tossing her raven hair. Out of the darkness finally came the clatter of horses' hoofs, and her three brothers rode into the yard. The eldest, noticing her white face, leaped from his horse and threw his arms around her. "We air all safe an' sound, sis," he said, "though I can't say as much for them Ransoms. Sam, like a fool, opened the door, and I—" The girl recoiled. "Did you kill him?" she demanded, almost fiercely. "Joe, did you kill him?" "Why, sis," replied her brother, "what air the matter?" "Oh, nothing," she replied, calmly; "I thought, maybe, you were hurt." Near to the midnight hour, while her brothers slept with their rifles within easy reach. Blanche Burton opened the door of the cabin and stepped out into the darkness. No lights were visible on either mountain, and none in Craig's Hollow. Above, a solitary star shone through a rift in the clouds. Save for the lonely cry of an owl, no sound broke the solemn stillness of the night. She was alone on the mountain. Slowly and with painful carefulness the girl picked her way through the dooryard, fearful lest some snapping twig should awaken the slumberers within and bring upon her indistinct form in the darkness, the contents of a deadly rifle. She breathed more freely when she had passed the gate and was safely in the road, and drawing her shawl tightly about her she walked rapidly down the mountain side and across the ravine. Here she slackened her pace and finally stopped. How loud her heart beat and how warm her cheeks were! She sat down on a small bowlder to rest, but only for a moment, and then she was on her way again up Pine mountain toward the Ransom cabin. Noiselessly, carefully, that not a whisper should give notice of her approach, she crept onward, trembling, feverish, anxious. Frequently she paused to listen for any sound emanating from the cabin, but nothing reached her ears, save the loud beating of her own heart. When at last she reached the little yard that surrounded the cabin, she sank upon the ground and crept on her hands and knees to the window. She thought she heard a noise within. She heard it again—the low moan of a man. "Thank God!" she whispered to herself. "Thank God, he is not dead." And she flattened her nose against the pane in a vain endeavor to pierce the darkness. Suddenly a light flashed; some one had struck a match. In the faint, flickering light she made out the form of a man stretched upon the floor, with some one bending over him. His face was turned directly toward her. It was Sam Runsom, but how pale he looked, and what agony was painted upon his features! "Oh, Joe, brother Joe!" she said to herself, "what have you done?" The eyes of the man holding the match fell upon her face, pressed against the window. Instantly the match was extinguished, and Blanche, realizing her peril, dropped flat upon the ground, and a second later a charge of buckshot shattered the pane. A piece of the broken glass, falling upon her forehead, cut a deep gash, from which the blood flowed freely. Crawling under the friendly shelter of a climatis vine, she stopped the flow of blood with its leaves. For hours she crouched there, under the threatening clouds, which ever and anon sent a spiteful shower to the earth—crouched there, listening to the cry of the owl and the low moaning of the wounded man. Thrice, as she thought how much was needed a woman's tender touch to ease his feverish brow, did she start up as if to go to him, but each time she shook her head and said: "Not yet; not yet." When the first light, shining from a window in Craig's Hollow, warned her of the approach of dawn, she crept stealthily away, crawling upon her hands and knees until she reached the road. And that morning Joe. going out to feed his horses, found her standing at the gate, gazing anxiously across the ravine towards the Ransom cabin on Pine mountain, and—weeping. He put his arms around her tenderly. "What air the matter, sis?" he said. "Air you sick?" "Yes," said she, "I air—sick o' the world." "What be it you mean by that?" he asked, anxiously. "I mean I air sick o' a world where two men, two brothers, you might say, kill each other 'counter what they choose to call revenge. No matter what former friendship there may have existed, or what ties may be broken--" She paused suddenly. The excitement of the moment had paled her cheeks—paler in contrast to her raven hair. Her eyes shone like twin jewels, and Joe Burton, looking at his sister in the light of the rising sun, thought he never had seen a girl more beautiful. "Oh, Joe," she continued, passionately, "do you not see; can you not understand?" Then she turned suddenly and went into the house, leaving him alone with Bruno. Her brother watched her retreating figure until it disappeared through the doorway. Then he sat down in the grass and gave himself up to thought. For a long time he sat there; then he shook his head. "I give it up," he said. "I don't understand." The summer passed, and Sam Ransom, in whose veins the life-giving, life-preserving tonic of the mountain air throbbed warmly, was again in the saddle, his trusty rifle in his hand, the brightness of a dauntless spirit in his eyes, the tan of outdoor life upon his face, and in his heart the ever-warring emotions of vengeance and of love. Ever as the thought of revenge upon the "Burton gang" steeled his nerves and caused his fingers to angrily fondle the trigger of his rifle, the thought of Blanche stole into his heart and brought a gleam of tenderness to his eyes. She haunted his dreams; she was the central figure in all his hopes and plans and ambitions. He loved her, but he had no thought that she regarded him other than an enemy, until— Down the winding road from his cabin on Pine mountain Sam Ransom rode one afternoon, the autumn sunshine in his face, the mountain breezes toying with his hair, and never a thought of death within him. Turning a sharp bend in the road he came suddenly face to face with Blanche. She was on her pony; her bonnet had slipped from her head and hung down her back, suspended by its strings; her hair, tossed by the boisterous breeze, fell across her shoulders like the dark shadows of the pine trees across the mountain road; her face was pale; her eyes glistened like the stars on a winter's night. She raised her hand and he drew rein, his heart bounding within him. "Sam," she said, timidly, "I have come to meet you, an' I want to ride beside you down the mounting. May I, or do you reckon me too great an enemy o' yourn?" "Little gal," he replied, taking his hat from his head and awkwardly fumbling it in his hands, "little gal, me an' you can't never be no enemies." She smiled, the warm blood surging to her cheeks and a great gladness in her eyes. Then she held out her hand to him, and he took it in both his big brown ones, patting it as he would pat his horse's neck. When they had come to a narrow passage between two dense thickets of underbrush Blanche grasped the bridle of Sam's horse suddenly and stopped both animals. Then, turning and peering into the thicket on her left, she commanded: "Put up that gun o' yourn, Joe, an' come outen that bresh. Be a man; don't be a cower." The bushes parted, and out of the dense foliage, his rifle in his hand, stepped her brother. Ransom quickly raised his weapon from the pommel of his saddle, but Blanche placed her hand softly upon his. "No, Sam," she said, and he dropped his rifle in his lap. "Joe," she said, turning to her brother, "come here." Without a word he advanced to her side. "Joe," she resumed, looking down into his face, "ef I hadn't been with Sam jest now, you'd a-killed him, an' I—God, Joe, that would, broke my heart!" She turned her head and glanced down the valley, with the crimson burning on her cheeks. A tear dropped on Joe's hand, and the two men looked into each other's eyes and understood. Then they clasped hands in a pressure that conquered when the rifle had failed. And one day Blanche again walked up the road to the little cabin on Pine mountain. There was a smile on her face and a gleam of happiness in her eyes, for Sam was at her side and she called him "husband." To Instruct Cuban Teachers To Instruct Cuban Teachers. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Charles R. Skinner, at Albany, N. Y., reports that a communication has been received by Myron T. Scudder, principal of the New Platz normal school, from Lieut. Matthew B. Hanna, acting commissioner of public schools for the island of Cuba, announcing that arrangements are being perfected for sending between 50 and 100 teachers from the island of Cuba to the New Platz normal school for a course of instruction for one or two years in English, manual training, domestic science, school economy methods and civil government. The Cuban government defrays the expense on transportation, board and instruction for these teachers, and allows each a salary of $20 a month during the entire course of instruction. A.

Amid the flood of anecdotes connected with the late queen and royal family that has been pouring through the columns of the press, I do not think anyone has called attention to the adventure of the "boy Jones," at Buckingham palace, a few years after the queen's marriage, says Edward Vizettelly, in London Free Lance. This young fellow was twice caught within the royal residence, without anyone being able to explain how he got there. On the first occasion he was surprised by a porter early in the morning leisurely surveying one of the apartments. On being searched, nothing of importance was found upon him, but he had made up a bundle containing a sword, a pot of bear's grease, and some old letters. He was covered with soot, from head to foot, and looked like a sweep, but denied taat such was his calling, pointing out that his sooty appearance was due to his having concealed himself in chimneys in the daytime. For awhile he had occupied the vacant bedroom of one of the equerries, and had left the sooty imprints of his frame on the sheets. He stoutly declared that his intrusion was not for the purpose of theft, but to find out how royalty and the "great swells" like royal footmen lived. His examination before the magistrate created great amusement. He admitted that he had been in the palace on previous occasions, and for days together. In fact, he had "put up there," he said. He had found it a very comfortable place. The apartment he liked best was the drawing-room. During the day he hid behind the furniture, when he was not up a chimney, but late at night, when everyone had gone to bed, he walked about, went into the kitchen, and got his food. Then he related that he had seen the queen and her ministers in council, and had listened to all they had to say. When asked if he had worn the same shirt all the time, he calmly replied: "Yes, when it was dirty I washed it in the kitchen." And then he volunteered the information that he knew his way all over the palace, and had been right through it—in the queen's apartments and all. He had found out that her majesty was very fond of politics, he said. This lad revealed himself such a pleasant vagabond, with his amusing ways and astounding impudence, that no very serious punishment was inflicted on him. He was merely put away for a short term. Nor did he fare very badly when caught a second time. On this occasion he was caught crouching in a recess, and, being dragged out of it, was taken to the police station. He then told the magistrate that he had concealed himself under a safe in one of the queen's private apartments, and had overheard a long conversation between her majesty and Prince Albert. He was sent to the house of correction for a few months, in the hope of breaking him of the mania for intruding on the sovereign's privacy, as the offense was mildly termed. But soon after his release he was found prowling in the vicinity of the palace. Finally the authorities induced him to emigrate to Australia, where he eveidently blossomed into a well-to-do colonist. It was soon after these events that Baron Stockmar was brought over here to introduce order and discipline into the royal residence. 'Twas Her First Love On a corner stood a little barefoot girl in her rags. Her soiled, pudgy little hands hugged another bundle of rags caressingly to her stained, dimpled cheek, while she enjoyed all the joys of young motherhood. The bundle was her "baby." Tied with a tring near one end, the rags formed into a head. Another string about the middle produced the effect of a waist line. A young man saw the happy little mother. "What's that?" he asked, resting a hand on the unkempt hair of the child. "My dolly," she said, hugging the rags closer. "Your dolly, eh? What a pretty dolly. And what do you call your baby?"

It is impossible to build up the mind while the body is being torn down by wrong physical habits; yet it is a function of the mind, and requires right thinking even more than rational living. It is often a reflection of the way we see things. The power to look on the bright side of life, to see in the midst of evil some good, to observe in the soul of everything, God working, is the source of cheerfulness and one source of health.—Dr. A.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
