The Annihilation Of Distance.
How much nearer to each other the nations of the world are to-day than they were a few decades go! When weeks and months were required to eat news from across the ocean the old world seemed to be a long way off Now the whole earth is belted with telegraph and cable lines, and yesterday's happenings in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and the Islands of the sea are read at the morning's breakfast table. Distance is amphitheated and the nations are becoming friendly neighbors in consequence. The marvelous change is brought home to the mind most strikingly upon reading a great modern newspaper whose telegraphic news covers the whole world each day—a paper such as The Chicago Record-Herald, which has a veritable army of correspondents in every important city. In addition to its own staff of correspondents The Record-Herald has the benefit of the foreign news service of the New York Herald, fam us for its world wide cable system and for the reliability of its foreign news; also that of the New York World and the New York Journal of Commerce, besides that great co operative news-aathering organization, the Associated Press.

The Annihilation Of Distance.
How much nearer to each other the nations of the world are to-day than they were a few decades go! When weeks and months were required to get news from across the ocean the old world seemed to be a long way off. Now the whole earth is belted with telegraph and cable lines, and yesterday's happenings in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and the Islands of the sea are read at this morning's breakfast table. Distance is annihilated and the nations are becoming friendly neighbors in consequence. The marvelous change is brought home to the mind most strikingly upon reading a great modern newspaper whose telegraphic news covers the whole world each day—a paper such as The Chiesgo Record-Herald, which has a veritable army of correspondents in every important city. In addition to its own staff of correspondents The Record-Herald has the benefit of the foreign news service of the New York Herald, fam for its world wide cable system and for the reliability of its foreign news; also that of the New York World and the New York Journal of Commerce, besides that great co operative news-authoring organization, the Associated Press.

HURRICANE IN CAMPECHE.

San Juan Batista, Campeche, May 3. —A hurricane of fierce violence swept over this district Tuesday night entailing great loss of property and the death of several persons. - The cocoa groves for some distance up and down the coast are completely destroyed in the flooded millions of dollars. Crops of various kinds were leveled to the ground and great trees in the forests were snapped like pipe-stems. It is feared there may have been heavy loss to shipping if the storm extended into the gulf. The wind apparently started in the mountains and swept along the coast. Numerous houses were blown down. The city was submerged on the plantation of the Conde Brothers, French millionaires.

10. S
Old Times and New.
There is said to be a decay of positiveness among our children whose fathers and mothers were brought up to be very respectful and ceremonious in behavior. Perhaps nowadays the young are too independent and that reverence for old age went out with the substitution of yes and no for the affirmations to which sir and ma'am were attached in the old days. So, too, the adoption of the words man and woman for lady and gentleman may have made the youngsters and their sisters more forward and presuming, and it may be that the banishment of the curtsey has made girls less modestly blushing and sentimental than their predecessors in the juvenile world. Still, the taking off of the hat to women by boys and men of all classes is more general than it used to be, and we believe that profanity is less prevalent than it was once, for the vigorous fathers of the republic were somewhat given to using strong expressions, and even the august Washington was accused of uttering a big, big D under the stress of powerful emotion. And it must be acknowledged that there was a good deal of hypocrisy in the fine phrases that were current in the days of hoop and gown, and that youth was made familiar with hard drinking earlier than it is to-day. There is lessensure now than formerly, says Bob Budget, and people do not have time to cultivate the graces of their forefathers, but at heart they are quite as refined in feeling and less gruel in punishment than were their ancient ancestors, and the boy and girl of the present only illustrate other times and other manners and not de generation.
Humor and Compassion.
Humor means far more than the naughty of a fool or at one. It goes often hand in hand with compassion. it is always sane and clear-eyed, and sone the less so for its kindly smile and thrill of sympathy as it contemplates the follies, follies and faults of men. In the sympathy lies its kinkhip and acquaintance with pathos. But it is the sanity, the clear-sightedness, of humor that keeps the pathos rom degenerating into pathos or anything that could be described as mundan, in writes Bishop Chaucey B, Brews in North American Review. Humor is on the best of terms with sentiment, so long as it is true and healthy. When, however, feelings have passed from their natural spontaneus into a secondary stake where they have become self-conscious, arealled out for drill and marshaled for parade, then sentiment has degenerated into sentimentality. Genuine humor is too loyal a friend of truth to have anything to do with such artificiality or to associate with sentimentality.
The gavel used by the presiding of beer of the United State senate has go handle like that used by the speaker of the house. It is an ivory convince, modestly ornamented, of cylindrical shape and about four inches long. In wielding the vice president has to hold the gavel in his hand as if it were a small hammer without a handle. How the custom originated of providing the vice president with a handleless gavel is not known though the oldest senate attacke can not remember when it was otherwise, just as the oldest senate attacke can not remember when the gold snuff box that occupies its ancient niche at the right of the vice president's desk was not dutifully filled every morning, although no statesman now patronizes that once popular box for a gentle nicee.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is rightly indignant at manufacturers who take advantage of the pure food law to affirm that the federal government guarantees their products. The government, of course, does nothing of the kind, as Secretary Wilson explains. The government exacts from the manufacturer a statement regarding the character of his products, and the certificate granted is to the effect that such statement has been made, and also enables the government to get after the manufacturer if the statement proves untrue and the goods turn out to be impure. To twist such a certificate into a guarantee is a form of dishonesty which merits the sharp rebuke the secretary administers.

DUNNING CASE DISMISSED.
Prosecution is Compiled to Let Mt Ayr Banker Go.
Osceola—With the dismissal of all indictments against him Day Dunning was set free forever for the wrecking of the Mount Ayr bank three years ago. The prosecution moved to dismiss the case because Patterson, the assignee, refused to come from Missori to testify on the ground, it is said, of is personal friendship to the indicted banker. The action of the state was anticipated somewhat because it was nosed abroad a few days ago that Patterson would all time prosecution of Dunning for the failure of the bank which collapsed January, 1904, and which paid about 30 cents on the collar. The case of limitations now covers the case fully, the three years specified being up in January of this year, Dunning, k will be remembered, was being tried this time as in December on indictments drawn in
Dunning was first tried in Mount Ayr in April, 1904. A jury found him guilty of accepting deposits when it was known that the tank was insolvent. His attorneys appealed to the supreme court, who reversed the case on an error of law. The trial was closed to Clarke county, where the second trial occurred last December. This time the jury freed Dunning. Other indictments hung over him, however, and the third trial was recently begun in Osceola. His lawyers set forth motions to quash the settlement, but the court rejected that statement with refusal from Patterson, which was followed by the ending of the case.
ACTOR'S LOVE WAS HOPELESS.
Telephoned Girl He Would Suicide,
Then Did So.
Waverly.—An actor's love for the daughter of a bank president and the niece of a railroad magnate, caused a tragedy in a hotel here, when A. H. Keller, a hypnotist, shot himself to death. Before he sent the bullet crashing into his brain he rang up Miss Hazel Cass, the girl whom he loved, and sent this message to her at Summer:
"I am going to kill myself."
When the tere statement was given her, the girl hastened to the telephone in an effort to prevent the bellboy from taking her call. The bellboy who took her call to the room of the actor found him dead on the floor, a 32-caller bullet in his brain. Her only met the girl a week ago. He was at Summer, where he gave a performance in the opera house of J. S. Cass, father of the young woman. He fell in love with her pretty face and gentle ways. He was not a girl, but who is only 17 years old, had no more than a speaking acquaintance with him. She did not treat him any different than she did hundreds of years ago. She was ever haunted by the image of the young society girl and when he left Summer for Waverly his love for her had become a mania. She was more than a week arranging his dates for a tour of the state. He went to the long-distance telephone and called up Miss Cass. The girl did not come to the line and he left the grim message delivered to her when she arrived.

The auditor has paid so far for the wolf population young wolves, amounting to $52, at $2 per head, and upon one 10 wolf at $5. This occurs every year and yet they continue to come. The number preyed on them is growing. The number of the last few years. Twenty-five pups were brought in in 1903, twenty-three head in 1904, sixteen head in 1905 and the usual avail-

THUGS ARE CAPTURED.
Made Cowardly Assault Upon Rail-
read Man at Valley Junction.
Moles—Following a brutal assault on the part of three thugs upon the person of Jerry Libby, an old employee of the Rock Island at Valley Junction, one of the most exciting man hunts ever held in the county resulted in the catching of the thugs who committed the crime. More than a score of railway men joined in the chase, during which a crosscountry run over a bridge with a machine lay a promissor part. Libby, who was assaulted by the thugs, is now seriously ill from the effects of a wound on the head and cuts made to his arm. In three men finally caught were given a hasty hearing on the charge of attempt to murder and rushed to Des Moles for safekeeping. There was, however, no talk of lynching, though the Valley Junction was very much excited.
As nearly as could be learned, the assault was <i>entirely unprovoked</i>. Libby, who has been a car inspector for the Rock Island for a number of years, was the first to be when three strange men picked a quarrel with him. The men were intoxicated. It is claimed they had been drinking the faltered cocktail the morning of the morning. No one whisked the start of the trouble. When the men assaulted Libby with a long bar of iron he gave a yell which brought a number of people to the creature's attention. These men tore the three drunks away from the victim. The tramps stared to run across the country north of town. When is was discovered that Libby's injuries might have caused the fate of the men began.

The report is presented in the officers under the past administration. The report says while no "graft" was disclosed, the methods employed invited dishonesty and also gave means of concealment it.

The various past county officers are charged with carelessness and laxness in their methods. The former county auditor is charged with illegally issuing warrants and the former with illegally retaining fees. Various other irregularities are charged.

IRISH BILL IN COMMONS
MEASURE SEEKING SELF-GOVERN
MENT INTRODUCED.
Big Crowd Fills British House to Witness Introduction by Chief Secretary Birrell.
London. — The Irish bill was introduced in the house of commons Tuesday by the chief secretary for Ireland, Mr. Birrell. The introduction of this measure had been anticipated with the keenest interest, as it presents in a new form the long-drawn-out struggle of Ireland for self-government. In anticipation of the event the house of commons was crowded, the lobbies and galleries being filled with the conspicuous figures in the Irish movement. The bill had been drafted by Mr. Bryce, who proceeded Mr. Bryce, on the latter's recent appointment as ambassador at Washington and to some extent followed the lines of the measure which Mr. Bryce had tentatively framed for Ireland.
Prior to the appearance of the measure it was popularly termed a "devotion bill," but to-day its advocates refer to it as the "Irish council bill," owing to its creation of a council to take over a number of the administrative features of Irish rule. But to Ireland and the general public the bill is the "Irish bill," with home rule presented in such new and modified form as to enlist the support of the elements bitherto hostile.
Mr. Birrell's explanation of the new bill was received with deep interest and unwavering attention. Its terms had been kept secret except to a few of the foremost Irish leaders, so that all alike were on the tippoe of expectancy in regard to the measure. The bill does not give complete home rule, nor has it been the purpose of the government to grant Ireland complete self rule at a single stroke. On the contrary, as Mr. Birrell explained, the government's measure is to stepping-stone; it is at least some amount more powerful over Irish land, and this much complished it gives some promise of the ultimate realization of complete home rule. It remains to be seen whether Ireland and the Irish leaders will accept the measure as a sufficient realization of their hopes for home rule.

SEEDING GOMMENDED IN
WESTERN CANADA
The Prospects for a Large Acreage to
Ba Down in Wheat.
St. Paul, April 24, 1967.—We I has been received at the office of the Canadian Government in St. Paul that seeding has commenced at various points throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past winter has left the ground in splendid shape for successful seedling operations. The fine weather of the past few days has taken much of the frost out of the ground and during next week there will scarcely be a district where the seeder is not being operated. The most optimistic condition exist and in all districts the are busy using it in shape. There will be every large average in spring wheat, oats and barley. At many points throughout the three provinces the newcomers are busy unloading their stock and effects, working night and day in order to get on their farms and become active agencies in the effort to make the year 1907 the banner year in grain producing in Western Canada. As compared with districts many hundred miles further south than this, that Western Canada ranks amongst the most productive of seedling operations for the present year. It is safe in say that farmers who get in their crop before the 20th or 24th of May, will receive magnificent returns. A number of those coming in this spring, who had not their land prepared last fall, will break up enough land to get a crop of oats and barley and probably some fax. This, together with the vegetables they will plant, will give them ample food for the summer and stock during the early seedling operations are not confined to one district, but are spread over a country 900 miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents of the Canadian Government, located at different points throughout the United States, are easy giving information regarding the many districts that are being made available for settlers. Low railway rates, information and literature are given on application to the agent, whose name appears in advertisement elsewhere in this paper.
WHERE WOMAN IS SUPERIOR.
Vegetarian Springs a Few Facts on
Asterned Companions.
"Since the first of the year," he said, "I haven't had a smoke, and I haven't taken a drunk."
Everybody looked at him with amazement, respect and awe. How strong-willed he must be; they said; sow asthetic how spiritual! It was tremendous.
"And yet," said a pale vegetarian, all women, or at least 99 per cent. of them, maintain this wonderful abstinence their whole life long. Why don't you praise them for it!
With his medicated handkerchief to bruised the sneer from his lips.
"We men," he said, "beside women are hogs. We call our women all; we won't give them the vote; but the average woman lives on a higher plane than the average man. She thinks noble things than money, drinking tobee, food.
"Did you ever hear your wife proul about the cooking? Did you ever hear of a woman epicure? No; woman is above the hoglike pleasures of the table. She is above such a baacco and whisky seance as is now going on here."
The vegetarian put on his cap of medicated flannel, and, despite the warmth of the night, drew the flannel carts over his ears.
"Give woman her dne," he ended.

Importance of Sleep
We should get up well every morning. If we do not, we are certain gradually to run behind in our physical bank account. This proves that sleeping is quite as important as sleeping. The luxury of sound sleep is one of the greatest means given to a man or beast for restoring and invigorating the whole system. No one should allow business or anything else to curtail this luxury, and parents should promote it in children, instead of drumming them out of bed early—Homeopathic Envy.

St. Paul Park Incident.
"After drinking coffee for breakfast; always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to, to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down.
"At other times I had severe headaches; stomach finally became affected by a digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. For many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been briefly benefited by quitting coffee and postum Food Coffee; she was tried for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum.
"Another lady, who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and quitting Postum twice a day. She was well cured. Still another friend told me the Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and takin' coffee."
"So many such cases came to my cottie that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disappeared. I am well and happy." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Waltville," to learn.

DRUG TRUST DEAD
UNITED STATES COURT ISSUES
PERMANENT INJUNCTION.
"BLACK LISTS" ARE TABOOED
Complete Victory for the Government in a Very Important Case.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 10.—The so-called "drug trust," was perplexedly enjoined yesterday from continuing its operations by the entering of a decree in the United States circuit court for the district of Indiana on the complaint of the United States government filed by Joseph B. Kealing, U. S. district attorney.
The defendants, 92 in number, who are the members, officers, directors, agents and attorneys of the National association of retail druggists, the national wholesale druggists association; Tri-Parte proprietors, "black list manufacturers," direct contract proprietors; wholesale contract proprietors; wholesale proprietors perpetually enjoined from combining and conspiring to restrain trade in drugs, fix prices by agreement, blacklist retailers who out prices, or to refuse to sell to any retailer on equal terms; the collection of blacklists forbidden and abused by contracts and agreements covered by the charges are declared void.
The direct contract serial number plan is prohibited as well as the securing of the adoption of schedules for the sale of drugs. In this case, which was charged in the bill of complaint with being engaged in printing and circulating lists called blacklists which contained the names of druggists throughout the country who sold proprietary articles and medicines at the drugstore, the alleged combination ordered. As charged he would send a list each month to every retail and wholesale druggist in the United States who belonged to the association of those accused of cutting prices and as a result of this these "aggressive cutters" as they were called, could not buy goods.
It was further charged that those accused of cutting prices on proprietary medicines were unable to purchase any kind of drugs from the members of the several associations. All such practices are perpetually enjoined. The decree entered yesterday was discharged by the government attorneys and agreed to by the defendants. With the entering of the decree the litigation came to an end with a complete victory for the government.
SELECTING A JURY.
Substantial Progress Made In Picking the Twelve
Bolse, Idaho, May 10—William D. Haywood, first of the alleged particle pants in the avenging conspiracy by which it is avered the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and executed, was placed upon trial for his life yesterday. Counsel for the state and the prisoner entered at once in a business like way upon the examination of prospectus for jurors in a carefully tasked houra. No junior was finally accepted, but substantial progress was made and the indications at the close of the session were that a jury could have been by the end of the next week.
The opening day of the trial went through to its conclusion in quiet harmony unmarked by unusual incident. It was earnest and business like. Its striking feature was the entire absence of crowds or demonstration in any form. At no time, morrow or other people were more than half filled and the streets forming the court house square contained not a single loiterer.
CARS WERE RUN.
San Francisco, Cal., May 10—Roses and carnations, instead of brickkinds and cobblestones were features of yesterday's run of two cars of the United Railroads, manned by twenty strikebreakers, from the car bars at Oak and Broderick streets since the tree fence was through the business and residence streets of the western addition. Stirred to admiration by the courage of unarmed strikebreakers in operating the two cars in the mob crowded throughfare, women all along the route stood on doorsteps or leaned from windows and waved their handkerchiefs and threw kisses to the non-unionists as the police protected cars ran slowly by.
On the return trip on Sacramento street, near Presidio avenue, a young girl ran out from a horist's shop and stumbled into a row of stemmed carnations on the platform of one of the cars. Lifting their caps and smiling, several of the men leaned far out and caught the flowers. The cars were halted then, while the car was being loaded into the carnations and roses from the shop and offered them to the men.

But Cucurcuma Curea Therapeutic.
"My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. We thought we would give the Curtica Remedies a trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. I myself used Curtica Soap and Curtica Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now have a very heavy head of hair. We used Curtica Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She was very nice hair now. She is very lively, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Curtica Soap and then apply Curtica Ointment, it would dry the heat up so much quicker than anything else. Mr. H. B. Springmile, 323 Iowa Street, Iowa City, Ia., July 6, 1905, and Sept. 16, 1906.
ADVANTAGE A WIDOW HAS.
At Least They Don't Have to Sit and
Watch Husband's Flirt.
"I saw such a pretty woman at a disadvantage the other night," the little real widow was saying. "She was married. She was sitting at a table with some other pretty women and handsome men and her husband. Her husband began to flirt outrageously with one of the women. I wish you were her. That came over her face. Everybody in the room saw how distressed she was.
"Now, what I want to know is this. Why didn't she go to work and flirt with one of the handsome men to get even? Anyone of them was quite ready and willing, but, no, wives never seem to be able to do that. They just sit ready to cry, with everybody noticing.
"That's the advantage we real widow has to use. We don't have to sit and watch on, husbands flirting with other women. We know where they are, and we also know that whatever they may chance to be doing, they are probably not flirting."

INDIANA PEOPLE IN WESTERN CANADA.
What Shall We Do—I've Got to Build Granaries.
A letter written to a Canadian Government agent from Tipton, Indiana, is but one of many similar that are in the hands of the Canadian government agents whose privilege it is to offer them a hundred city acres of land free, and low railway forces. But here is a copy of the letter:
"Tipton, Ind. Nov. 25, 1906. "At your earnest solicitation a party of us from Tipton left May 15 for Western Canada. Our interviews with you and a careful study of your literature led us to expect great things of your country when we should arrive there, and we were not disappointed. We were able to examine the examination of the country and its resources, and we did so. At early dawn the second morning out of Tipton we woke in a new world. As far as the eye could reach was an apparently limitless expanse of new sown wheat and prairie grasses. The vivid green of the wheat just beginning to stool out, and the inky blackness of the soil contrasted in a way beautiful to see. An hour or two later we steamed into Winnipeg. Here we found a number of stores, the inky blackness of souls well housed, with every advantage that goes to make a modern up-to-date city—banks, hotels, newspapers, stores, stores light, street railways, sewerage, waterworks, asphalt pavements, everything. With eyes and ears open we traveled for two thousand miles through Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, going out over the Canadian Pacific railway, via Calgary to Edmonton, and returning to Winnipeg over the Canadian northern railway. In the meantime we found ourselves on the opposite side, opposing off at a number of points where we made drives into the surrounding country. On every hand were evidences of prosperity. The growing oats, oats, rye, flax, barley, not little patches, but great fields, many of them a square mile in extent, the three, five and sometimes seven-horse teams laying over an inky black ribbon of yellow stubble, generally in furrows straight as gun barrels and at right angles from the roads' stretching into the distance, contrasted strongly with the towns both large and small were doubly conspicuous, made so, first by their newness and second by the towering elevators necessary to hold the immense crops of wheat grown in the immediate neighborhood.
The newness, the thrift, the hustle, the sound of saw and hammer, the tents housing owners of buildings in various stages of completion, the plies of household effects and agricultural implements at the railway stations waiting to be hauled out to the "Claims," the occasional steam plow used to plow the fields on a day the sod house, the unpaired house of wood, the up-to-date modern residence with large red barn by all these were seen everywhere we went, an earnest of prosperity and wealth to be. We talked with men and visited their places that four years ago was unbroken prairie. Their houses, barns, implements and live stock were the equal of anything in Tipton County, and why not, when they were raised in the same instance, forty thousand bushels of wheat a year. The fact that such large yields of wheat are raised so easily and so surely impressed us very favorably. And when we saw men who four or five years ago commenced there with two or three thousand dollars, and were now as well fixed and making money much easier and many times faster than lots of our acquaintances on Indiana farms at the same times as much, we decided to invest. So we bought in partnership a little over two thousand acres, some of it improved and in wheat.
Before leaving Indiana we agreed that if the opportunities were as great as they were represented, to be, that we would buy, and own in partnership a body of land, and leave one of our number to look after and operate it. This we accordingly did. I received a letter from him, "What shall we do?" said he; "I've got to build granaries. There's so much wheat that the railways are just swamped. We can't get cars and the elevators are all full. I never saw anything like it." In reply we wrote, "Good for you. Go ahead and build; your story sounds better than the letters we used to get from our friends in Kansas when they bewailed't the fact that the hard wheat had been destroyed by the chinch bugs and the corn by the corn borer, the stock for means to live on. Yes, build by all means." And he did, and our wheat put in by a renter made twenty-seven bushels per acre.

Money for Y. M. C. A.
The raising of $70,000 in one day by the Y. M. C. A. of Ottawa, Ont., broke all records that have been made by the associations in their building canvases, in which $5,000,000 has been secured in the last two years. Recently the Ottawa association set out to raise $200,000 in 15 days. It received pledges for $203,359. On the last day of the campaign 1,500 people pledged $70,000.

The deacon projected his child entered the tip of it with the second finger of his right hand and saluted positively: "I wish we had Peto here."
His wife laughed, pushing a cup to him across their coy table, enlivened and fragrant with the bowl of earl greens.
"David, I can't make out what it should Draw to which you object hurry, he is most obliging and so special, works hard, takes good care of the place. Of course, I understand your singing for Peter; I, too, mir him dreadfully after his 11 years of service, but, really, isn't this new comer a better man?"
"That's just it," returned the deacon, his blue eyes twinkling with a faint suggestion of being humorous in the wrong. "It isn't so much what he says, but his way of sayi - it, and the locks he bestows upon me. He shen-ti-gives me a funny feeling. can't explain it exactly, but it lessens my dignity. I have actually forgotten myself so far as to tell him one of two ridiculous stories, Serena. I afters regretted doing so, but they slipped out before I thought."
The man who made the deacon laugh shut the door of the carriage house and went softly on to turn by the heavily vined plaza.
He was not old as years go, but there were lines in his face and many wrinkles in the eye corners.
The deacon came outside as his man's feet rattled the gravel. It was

in his mind to be stern as became the position of employer.
"Through?" he inquired, abruptly.
"All through, sir. Horses, cow, wagon washed, garden work up, every thing but supper, and that won't take much time. Then, with your permission, I'd like the evening off. Be back by 10:30, sir."
It was directly after a short devotional exercise (a few beloved verse and a prayer following the morning meal) that Drew came in looking much distressed.
"There's a young one outside who appears to be lost," he announced.
"First I saw of her, she was out by the rose bunches. She won't go away and I can't make head nor tail of her talk. Never heard such lingo What I do?"
"Bring her in," cried Serena. "I't understand the child. She may have wandered over from the hotel."
"Here she is, then," said Drew rather crossly, and led inside a little, hazeley creature with a cloud of hair hair.
"Why, you blessed baby!" Serent knelt with difficulty, holding out her arms. "Where did you come from back?"
The visitor came forward dutifully, for a fervent embrace. The old marrionet she. She showed no embarrassment at the strange surroundings and smiled sweetly and uttered some intelligible words.
"Beyond me!" exclaimed the deserous aghast. "Is it French?"
"No," replied his better half, equal to it a loss. "I don't know what it is."
All that day Drew searched for in formation without avail. No one had ever seen the child.
"We will advertise," cried the dea con.
For a week they waited in daily ex ecitation. No replies came. A mont passed.
"Very strange," proclaimed the dea oce. "A mystery, Serena. An utter mystery."
"Not a mark on her clothing, and that all of excellent quality, David; and a sign to tell who she is or where on earth the came from. My dear I have never seen a sweeter child, ex oce Mary. So quiet and happy, play in with Mary's toys and singing her little songs. She must be the air of our baby when she was taken Why, it seems—it seems—oh! I can! be you. I want to keep her, husband I want her." Serena's voice broke as she felt for her handkerchief.

the indecency to ask if we intends to send the little girl to the tows farm in case she was not claimed. "One morning the deacon strutted up to his mental, who was laboring diligently at the woodpile. "Drew," he said, sharply, "I am afraid we must part." Anthony struck his ax on a log and faced around. "All right, deacon," he returned coolly. "I've done my best, but you haven't seemed satisfied lately. I'm ready to go." "I've no fault to find with you work, Drew, but a change is neces sary. We wish a man on the premises who—ah—who takes a natura. interest in children. The fact is, Mrs Emmons and I have decided to keep the little girl, and—hema!—you—" He stopped at sight of the man's face. It was like a stone, colorless and rigid. Drew was drawing grea shuddering breaths, holding himself in th clenched, quivering fists.
"b.y good fellow," whispered the deacon, alarmed. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm sorry—"
"Thank God!" burst from the man with a terrible effort at self-control all unavailing, for he bowed his head on his arm, rocking and sobbing "Penny! My little Penny! My own little girl! I've placed you. I've placed you!"
"Come!" said the deacon gently and led him to the barn.
There it was, sitting on the new hay that he calmed and told his story.
"I'm a minstrel," he said, "a nigger minstrel, if you like, not a star, but a good all-round man. I make money I was away out in Wisconsin with a troupe, when they wired me my wife was dying. I got to her in time for her last words, Tony, put the baby with the best people you can find Promise me, Tony.' And on my knee I swore it, and, God be thanked, I've done it. A dying mother's prayer deacon. You'll care for Penny ten derly, I know."
"Yes," murmured the old man, "at if she were my own. Go on!" "When Penelope died, sir, there I was, with a wandering professor and a baby eight months old She's nearly four years old now I didn't know a thing about babies except that they had to be nursed Finally, a chap I knew in the show business told me of a Norwegian family, nice people and kind. He could talk their language, and through him I put her with them They were glad, too, for I paid 'en well, and they didn't have much. Not a word of English did they speak to gether, but that was nothing to Penny, nor to me. "All the time I was thinking what to do, and last fall the Norwegian out fitted me that they were going to Dakota in the spring. Of course I couldn't let Penny go with them; it was time she changed, anyway.
"A month after this news, the troupe I was traveling with gave a performance at Hurryburg. It was on a Saturday night, and a freight wreck blocking the trains, we stayed over Sunday morning—ah! It was a fine day—I hired a rig and drove into the country. Coming through Fayville, I reined up in front of this house and jumped out.
"It's the very place for Penny," I kept thinking, not knowing for an instant what I could do about it. Walking up the path I spied a long lank, red-headed gawk sitting on the horse block chewing a twig."
"Peter!" elucidated the deacon "He should have been at church."
"Yes, sir, it was Peter. I ap proached him and opened up. He told me all about you and Mrs. Emons, and in ten minutes I was ready to die if I could get my child in such a home. It was what I dreamed of. My mind makes up quick. Says I: 'My friend, I'd like your job. What's it worth?'
"Then I told him my story as mas to man. He alld off his perch, grab bing my hand. 'I'll do it for the leetle gal,' says he. 'I loves leetle gals, and we fixed it up. Peter's been in my pay ever since he left."
The deacon's mild blue orbs were staring through his spectacles.
"What next?" he inquired, with rather an injured inflection.
"Deacon Emmons, I've done you work all right, haven't it?"
"What's that to do with it?"
"Just this. All last winter I la bored to learn how, threw up my contract, went into a livery stable then I was with a florist. I half froze on a farm learning to milk. I aske questions and studied, chopped wood did everything I could think of, and when the time came I was fit for the job, with recommendations. Peter got out. I got in.
"You must forgive the deception slr. If you could know the agony of these days and nights, when I have feared that, after all, you might feel it was best to put her somewhere else. I have worked so hard for it; it was like a madness with me. I have been through a hard strain deacon."
"You renounce all claim, then Drew?"
"Except to help provide for her and see her sometimes."
"Very well. It shall be a lega, adoption." Hfs tone was suddenly brisk and business-like.
"It's what I want. Thank you, sirl! Thank you, forever. A man will be here-to-night to take my place. Goodby, deacon."
The deacon met the clasp with one as warm, and blinked.
"Good-by." he said. "Who is the man you spoke of?"
"I call him Pete." Drew's mouth twitched. "You know him as Peter." The deacon laughed then, quite loudly, but he wiped his spectacles as he walked back to the house to tell Serena.

The unusual spectacle of a bridegroom appearing at the sitar hand-suffied has been seen, according to a contemporary at Monthey, an Italian village. The bridegroom, an Italian was undergoing a long sentence for burglary, and recently prevailed upon the governor of the prison, to whom he stated he had committed the crime for the sake of his fancies, to allow him to marry. Two gendarmes in uniform acted as witnesses, and guardians at the same time. At the church door the young bride and bridegroom parted with heavy hearts.
Sore Nipples
Any mother who has had experience with this distre-sing alliment will be pleased to know that a cure may be effected by applying Chamberlain's Salve as soon as the child is done nursing. Wipe it off with a soft cloth before allowing the babe to nurse. Many trained nurses use this salve with best results. For sale by all druggists.

By order of a New York court a mother gave her seventeen-year-old girl who had attempted suicide a spanking with a hair brush. The fall from the sublime to the ridiculous might be more spectacular, but never more complete.
Now Don't Laugh!
In a case before the Melbourne court the other day, Sidney Martin was charged with insulting behaviour — i.e. kissing a woman violently in the street. Martin, however, established the fact that the woman was his wife, and he was discharged accordingly without a blainn on his witcheship! — Sidney Bullen.

High Prices for Antique.
Old furniture collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rage for Chippendale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippendale chair of rare patterns, though it be out of repair. A collector in this city paid the other day $275 for a Chippendale armchair. Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $100.—New York letter.

The deacon projected his colli

sound of his right hand and sal

His wife laughed, pushing a cup t
him across their cosy table, enliven
and fragrant with the bowl of earl

"That's just it," returned the dea

faint suggestion of being humorous;
in the wrong. "It isn't so much what

the looks he bestows upon me. He-

can't explain it exactly, but it lessens my dignity. I have actually forgotten myself so far as to tell him one of two ridiculous stories, Serena. I aft awwards regretted doing so, but they slipped out before I thought."
The man who made the deacor laugh shut the door of the carriage house and went softly on to turn by the heavily vined plaza.
He was not old as years go, but there were lines in his face and many wrinkles in the eye corners.
The deacon came outside as his man's feet rattled the gravel. It was
THE WORKS OF W. H. HARRIS
"Thank God!" burst from the man with a terrible effort at self-con-trol.
In his mind to be stern as became the position of employer.
"Through?" he inquired, abruptly.
"All through, sir. Horses, cow, wagon washed, garden work up, every thing but supper, and that won't take much time. Then, with your permis-sion, I'd like the evening off. Be back by 10:30, sir."
It was directly after a short devo-nal exercise (a few beloved verses and a prayer following the morning meal) that Drew came in looking much distressed.
"There's a young one outside who appears to be lost," he announced.
"I first saw of her, she was out by the rose bubbles. She won't go away and I can't make head nor tail of her, talk. Never heard such lingo What I do?"
"Dring her in," cried Serena. "I
understand the child. She may have
wandered over from the hotel."
"Here she is, then," said Drew
rather crossly, and led inside a little,
hazel-eyed creature with a cloud of
air hair.
"Why, you blessed baby!" Serent
knelt with difficulty, holding out her
arms. "Where did you come from
doctor?"
The visitor came forward dutifully
to her fervent embrace. The old mar-
riner she. She showed no embar-
rassment at the strange surroundings
but smiled sweetly and uttered some
unbelievable words.
"Beyond me!" exclaimed the dea
day asthast. "Is it French?"
"No," replied his better half, equal
to it a loss. "I don't know what it is."
All that day Drew searched for in
formation without avail. No one has
ever seen the child.
"We will advertise," cried the dea
con.
For a week they waited in daily exposition. No replies came. A month passed.
"Very strange," proclaimed the deacon. "A mystery, Serena. An utter mystery."
"Not a mark on her clothing, and that all of excellent quality, David; not a sign to tell who she is or where on earth she came from. My dear I have never seen a sweeter child, except Mary. So quiet and happy, play with Mary's toys and singing her little songs. She must be the son of our baby when she was taken. Why it seems—it seems—oh! I can't tell you. I want to keep her, husband I want her." Serena's voice broke and felt for her handkerchief.
"Now, stop!" reproved the deacon. "You mustn't, my love. I know, I know, but really—"

the indecency to ask if we intend to send the little girl to the towns farm in case she was not claimed." One morning the deacon strutped up to his menial, who was laboring diligently at the woodpile.
"Drew," he said, sharply, "I am afraid we must part."
Anthony struck his ax on a log and faced around.
"All right, deacon," he returned coolly. "I've done my best, but you haven't seemed satisfied lately. I'm ready to go."
"I've no fault to find with your work, Drew, but a change is necesary. We wish a man on the premise who—ah—who takes a natura interest in children. The fact is, Mrs Emmons and I have decided to keep the little girl, and—shem!—you—"
He stopped at sight of the man's face. It was like a stone, colorless and rigid. Drew was drawing great shuddering breaths, holding himself in it clenched, quivering fists.
"I'y good fellow," whispered the deacon, alarmed. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm sorry—"
"Thank God!" burst from the man with a terrible effort at self-control all unavailing, for he bowed his head on his arm, rocking and sobbing "Penny! My little Penny! My own little girl! I've placed you. I've placed you!"
"Come!" said the deacon gently and led him to the barn.
There it was, sitting on the new hay that he calmed and told his story.
"I'm a minstrel," he said, "a nigger minstrel, if you like; not a star, but a good all-round man. I make money I was away out in Wisconsin with a troupe, when they wired my my wife was dying. I got to her in time for her last words, 'Tony, put the baby with the best people you can find Promise me, Tony.' And on my knee I swore it, and, God be thanked, I've done it. A dying mother's prayer deacon. You'll care for Penny ten derly, I know."
"Yes," murmured the old man, "ai if she were my own. Go on!"
"When Penelope died, slr, there I was, with a wandering professor and a baby eight months old She's nearly four years old now I didn't know a thing about babies except that they had to be nursed Finally, a chap I knew in the show business told me of a Norwegian family, nice people and kind. He could talk their language, and through him I put her with them They were glad, too, for I paid 'em well, and they didn't have much. Not a word of English did they speak to gether, but that was nothing to Penny, nor to me.
"All the time I was thinking what to do, and last fall the Norwegian out fitted informed me that they were going to Dakota in the spring. Of course I couldn't let Penny go with them it was time she changed, anyway.
"A month after this news, the troupe I was traveling with gave a performance at Hurryburg. It was on a Saturday night, and a freight wreck blocking the trains, we stayed over Sunday morning—ah! It was a fine day—I hired a rig and drove into the country. Coming through Fayville, I reined up in front of this house and jumped out.
"It's the very place for Penny,' I kept thinking, not knowing for an instant what I could do about it. Walking up the path I spied a long lank, red-headed gawk sitting on the horse block chewing a twig."
"Peter!" ejaculated the deacon "He should have been at church."
"Yes, sir, it was Peter. I ap proached him and opened up. He told me all about you and Mrs. Emmons, and in ten minutes I was ready to die if I could get my child in such a home. It was what I'd dreamed of. My mind makes up quick. Says I: 'My friend, I'd like your job. What's it worth?' "Then I told him my story as max to man. He silld off his perch, grab bing my hand. 'I'll do it for the leetle gal,' says he. I loves leetle gals', and we fixed it up. Peter's been in my pay ever since he left." The deacon's mild blue orbs were staring through his spectacles. "What next?" he inquired, with rather an injured inflection. "Deacon Emmons, I've done your work all right, haven't I?"
"What's that to do with it?"
"Just this. All last winter I la bored to learn how, threw up my contract, went into a livery stable then I was with a florist. I half froze on a farm learning to milk. I asked questions and studied, chopped wood did everything I could think of, and when the time came I was fit for the job, with recommendations. Peter got out. I got in.
"You must forgive the deception slr. If you could know the agony of these days and nights, when I have feared that, after all, you might feel it was best to put her somewhere else. I have worked so hard for it; it was like a madness with me. I have been through a hard strain deacon."
"You renounce all claim, then Drew?"
"Except to help provide for her and see her sometimes."
"Very well. It shall be a legal adoption." Hfs tone was suddenly brisk and business-like.
"It's what I want. Thank you, sir! Thank you, forever. A man will be here to-night to take my place. Goodby, deacon." The deacon met the clasp with one as warm, and blinked. "Good-by." he said. "Who is the man you spoke of?" "I call him Pete." Drew's mouth twitched. "You know him as Peter." The deacon laughed then, quite loudly, but he wiped his spectacles as he walked back to the house to tell Serena.

By order of a New York court a mother gave her seventeen-year-old girl who had attempted suicide a spanking with a hair brush. The fall from the sublime to the ridiculous might be more spectacular, but never more complete.
Now Don't Laugh!
In a case before the Melbourne court the other day, Sidney Martin was charged with insulting behaviour — i.e. kissing a woman violently in the street. Martin, however, established the fact that the woman was his wife, and he was discharged accordingly without a blemish on his coatcheon! — Sidney Bollin.

High Prices for Antiques.
Old furniture collectors in this city
have lately been driving prices higher
and higher. The rage for Chippendale
and Sheraton patterns of the
inner lines is greater than ever. Chairs
especially fetch astonishing prices.
Even dealers are paying in some
cases as much as $50 for a single
Chippendale chair of rare pattern,
though it be out of repair. A collector
in this city paid the other day
$75 for a Chippendale armchair.
Chairs of less unusual pattern
are sold every day for $40, $50 and $106.
