in the immediate vicinity. with the air
of a man who had succeeded in losing

very badly indeed.

FAITHFUL LOVES REWARD.

Under the shadow of a great fig
tree young girl sat, in a deep rev
cry. Such a tender light was in her
eyes, such sweet smile of full sat
isfaction on her face, that stranger
would have said, "she is thinking of
her lover" But no lover had Mabel
Rae, and her pleasure sprung from a
far more dangerous source-from a
handful of tuberoses in her lap.
Their spiritual, dreamy beauty, and
rare, rich perfume always held her
as in spell of measureless content.
To breathe their odor was to fill her
soul with holy and tender thoughts,
and the lovely, waxen flowers, pale,
pure and white as moonshine, haunt
ed her heart and Imagination, and
received from her perpetual love and
worship.
There she sat until the heat and
stiffness of the tropic noon drove
her to the house, grand old home
hid among giant live-oaks, gray with
the solemn waving ofsouthern moss.
She went first to the large dim par
lors, intending to put her favorites
among the damp moss Of the hang
ing baskets; but the dreamy languor
Of the darkened room overcame eY-
cry desire but that of sleep, and she
laid down on the nearest couch,
holding the flowers in her hands.
Half an hour later, Mr.. Rae open
ed the door and ushered in a gentle
man who had accompanied him from
New Orleans.
"Sit down, Allan" he said, II will
soon arouse the house. You see it
is the hour for siesta, and / believe
they all take it at the same time
when l am away"
For few moments the young man
believed himself alone. The subtle,
powerful perfume-quite unknown,
but delicious beyond expression
was his first sensation. Then, as
his eyes became accustomed to the
dim light of the carefully closed
shutters, he saw a picture that he
never more forgot-a most lovely
girl in the first bloom maidenhood,
fast asleep on the silken cushions
piled on a low diyan. Her white
robes made Al kind of glory in the
darkentd corner, One hand had
fallen down, and the flowers gemmed
the carpet at her side; the other lay
scross her breast, as if embracing
the tuberoses where it scattered
them.
Never in all his native mountains.
never in any dream of love or fan
cy, had Allan Monteith seen a wo-
man half so fair. Almost entranced
he stood gazing on Mabel as if he
had "seen vision" There lay his
destiny asleep; he knew it, and open
ed his whole soul to welcome "Love's
young dream" But when Mr.. Rae,
followed by negro valet, returned,
and Mabel languidly opened her
great pensive eyes, and stretched out
her arms for her father's embrace,
Allan almost thought he should faint
from excess of emotion, and it was
with difficulty he controlled himself
to receive the introduction and apol-
ogies necessary.

Scotchman, the only son of gentle

Light on the Matter Of the Escape Of
the Alabama.

Monsure D. Conway, in a letter
from England to the Cincinnati
Commercial, says:
at will be remembered that in
speaking concerning the escape of
the Alabama, in the House of Lords,
Earl Russell said that there seemed
to have been treachery among some
of the Governments subordinates at
Liverpool. There is little doubt felt
among those who watched the pro-
eeedings in that affair that Earl Rus
sell, much as he has been censured,
Wss about the most innocent man in
the Cabinet. He was hoodwinked
all along by Palmerston, and the
shrewd proceedings of the officials
at Liverpool were in accordance with
mods and Winks from headquarters
A correspondence has just occurred
which virtually confesses that the
government has no case that it can
support separating itself for respon-
sibility for the escape Of that ship.
On the 7th of November last the
commissioners of customs called the
attention of the lords of the treasury
to a passage in the judgment deliver
ed by Sir Alexander Cockburn, at
Geneva, which they the 1.-THE com
missioners) deemed injurious to
themselves, and represent to their
lordships that they were poWerless
to seize the ship without positive in
structions, which they never receiv-
ed from the government.
In reply, the secretary of the treas
ury writes that he is instructed by
their lordships to state that they
consider the responsibility of the
board entirely covered by that of
Her IIajesty's government, that if
the conduct of the board had been to
objection. it would have been the
duty Of the government 10 have
caused that judment to be taken;
by not so doing they have made the
conduct of the board their own. This
is manly at any rate. We may sup
pose this to be the penultimate chap
ter in the Alabama case'-the last
will be when the f3,500,00O are for
warded, which viii be attended by a
few groans only. Senator Thurman,
of Ohio, has gained an English repu
tation by his protest against distribu
ting the money awarded, as if it were
given in some part to the government
for general damages, which is gene
rally regarded as a revival of the
of indirect claims after its
by the tribunal Of arbitra-
tion."

Mr.. EDITOR- Beng at leisure
for a few moments, and thinking
that perhaps you afelloWs away
down East, would ike to hear from
eur fsr-western country, and to know
something of the kind of heathen
that inhsbit it, we thought we would
try to scratch you a few lines on the
subject. Our little city is situated
In the center Of johnson county, on
the line of the Missouri, Pacific
railroad, the great trunk line be-
tween the East and West. The
Western and Missouri Railroad is
also IN construction and viii be
completed soon, we hope. Our town
has a population of 5000, and il ran
idly increasing. All kinds Of husi-
ness is largely represented here. such
as manufactures, nurseries, &c.
We have the only elevator, on the
Pacific Railroad between ST. Louis,
and our metropolis in the East and
Kansas city in the western part Of our
great State. We have two good no
tells that are kept in the best and
most approved style. The State
Normal School for the Second Dis
triet of Missouri is located here, and
in course of erection. Il cost us
100000 and will be completed with
In a few weeks. The scholastic
year for 1928 will close in June
next. There are almost $50 stu
dents in attendance, and it is said
that we have the best corps Of pro
fessors for Normal instruction in the
West. 1t has been in operation for
two years, and promises TO be the
best institution for the education Of
pedagogues west Of the Mississippi
River. 1t is conducted on the free
school plan. We also have large de-
posits of the finest building stone in
the country. There are three Stons
Companies in successful operation,
and they ship great quantities Of
stone to all parts Of the country.
They afford labor for large number
OF men, thereby making this a desir-
able location for laboring men as
well as capitalists. We have a large
foundry, a large carriage manufac-
tory and several wagon manufactor-
les, all Of which are doing 4and Of
fee business" Three banks, and
twelve churches here, SO you see We
are not so much in the dark as one
might suppose. We also have TIVE
Masonic lodges that shed their pro-
rata of light.

ranks the fifth county in point Of
wealth, &c. We have
24,676 inhabitants in the county.
There are about dozen little VII
lagos in the county. Warrensburg
is the seat Of justice. We have the
best agricultural resources of any of
the surrounding countries for
wheat, corn, oats, &c. Grapes are
extensively cultivated in the imme-
diate vicinity of town. We have two
Wine Companies here, and both Of
them do a large business. Our
county is governed by the Township
Organization Law. By the way we
have proved it to be the most efee-
tual plan of governments.

Dear Sir: Ifeel it duty owe you as well
as the afflicted, to acknowledge the wonderful
cure you have made in my case. The long
continued sore throat and bronchitis was a
source of great annoyance and alarm to me
for a number of years, but since you prescrib-.
ed for me feel no trouble there, and have no
fear of a return of the complaint The dispo-
sition was strong to scrofuia consumption
that, think, entirely changed. My other
difficulties are entirely cured. Ifpcople only
would give your remedies fair trial, feel
confident you would benefit all you say you
can. Yours truly,
