His lips were redeemed with blood,
Little White was on his way to the meet
ing of the board. He would have given
all he dared spend to have stayed away,
for he felt both too fierce and too tremu-
lous to brook the criticisms that were likely
to be made.
II can't help it. gentlemen; can't help
you to make case against the old man,
and I'm not going to-

The president expressed himself "sur-

II don't care a rush, answered little
White, wildly and foolishly. Il don't care
a rush if you are, sir. No, my nerves are
not disordered; my heads as clear as

A director remarked that the secretary
looked as though he had walked from a
nightmare.

and was considered qualifedl to call and
persuade NJ POquelin to subscribe to the
company's stock; but
Fact is, gentlemen" he said at the next
meeting, sit would take US at least twelve
months to make Mr.. Pokaleen understand
the rather original features of our system,
and he wouldn't subscribe when we'd done;
besides, the only way to see him is to stop
him on the street,

fellow wouldn't talk in French, and when
spoke in English he hoisted his old shout

everything said"
And that was,' asked one or two, impa-

One of the board said: "Mr President,
this markethouse project, as take it, is not
altogether selfish one; the community is
to be benefited by it. We may feel that we
are working in the public interest 1.-THE
Board smiled knowingly, if we employ all
possible means to GUST this old nuisance

villain, John POquelann, has his brother

Is so, and we can fix it on him, merely
suggest that we can make the matter highly
useful. II don't know" he added, begin

A MIGHTY NICE MARE.

the man who stood on the steps. "She's
mighty nice mare for car work-least-
ways to loOkat. Kick2 Well you bet.
Since I've had her, she's removed the in
sides from two horses hitched in with
her; she's caved in her stall times
enough to make one carpenter rich, and
hvened up more'n one passenger; mem
ber one case in particular. Nice old
gent with youngsters, goin' out for a
Sunday picnic; he'd basket of lunch
covered up with a table-cloth. Jest as
he was Citing off, the mare worked
round when wasn't lookin', and she
fetched that basket one clatter with both
feet-I don't rightly know but she got
in all four-anyways there was lunch

he wanted it or not; the paper boys
mostly did. Think the old man saved
the handle of the ham and the cork of
one bottle. Why that mare has been
bought out of the stables not less'n
three times cause she was such gen

ALL persons who aspire to beauty or
personal appearance should not neglect
that natural accessory, the hair. By
many it has been neglected until the
hair has become thin, gray, or entirely
fallen off. Messrs. Hall & Co., Nashua.

edy, called Sicilian Hair Renewer, which
cures all diseases of the scalp. This won
derful preparation acts upon the glands,
which support and nourish the hair, re-
stores gray hair to its original color,
makes the scalp white and clean, removes
and prevents the formation of dandruff
and all cutaneous eruptions; and by its
tonic and nutritive properties, restores
the scalp to a healthy state, and creates
a new growth. As a dressing, it is un-
surpassed, giving the hair that brilliancy

HOW TO GROW ROSES.

A Painesville lady, on visit to Colum.
bus in the month of June, was greatly
delighted with the profusion of choice
roses in the gardens and front yards OF
that city; and she noticed, also, that the
bushes seemed to grow more thriftily
there than anywhere she had seen them
in Lake county, unless it was in green
houses at the nurseries.
On being asked to account for this,
we remarked that the soil at Columbus
is strong, clayey loan, just the right
kind for roses, while that of Painesville
is mostly sand, which is not suitable;
and the reason why SO few good roses
are seen here, is because our people do
not know how, or will not take the pains
to procure the right kind of soil.
There is plenty of good, rich clay,
within mile or so of town, both north
and south. The decomposed shale along
the bank of the river is also very good.
A load or two of this, mixed with an
equal quantity of sandy garden soil,
would make an excellent rose bed. This
should also be enriched annually with
well rotted manure-for roses love high
feeding-it causes thrifty growth, and
abundance of large flowers.
BUT EHE sLUGs.
Yes, the slug, or leaf worm, has done
great mischief to rose bushes for several
years past; but ttleattention will pre-
vent it. AS soon as the worms appear
dust over them little white hellebore
powder from the druggists same as
for the currant worm. 1t is cheap
remedy and easily applied. Repeat the
application few times, when the in
sects appear, and the work will be done
for the season. A little Paris green in
water, sprinkled on the leaves, as is done
for the potato bug, is also effectual for
the rose bug, but it cannot be safely
used on currant bushes, where the
poison would be liable to adhere to the
fruit. Painesville Telegraph.

THE SINGING LESSON.
BY Jean ANaE1ow.

A nightingale made a mistake;
She sang few notes out Of tune;
Her heart was ready to break,
And she hid herself from the moon,
And wrung her claws, poor thing,
But was far too proud to speak.
She tucked her head under her wing,
And pretended to be asleep.
A lark, arm in arm with a thrush,
Came sauntering up to the place;
The nightingale felt herself blush,
Though her feathers hid her face.
She knew they had heard her song,
She felt them snicker and sneer;
She thought this life was too long,
And wished she could skip year.
ooh, nightingale" cooed a dove,
"Oh, nightingale, what is the use2
You bird of beauty and love,
Why do you behave like a goose2
Don't skulk away from our sight
Like a common, contemplate fowl2
You bird of joy and delight,
Why do you behave like an owl7
"Only think of all you have donel
Only think of all you can dol
A false note is really fun
From such bird as you'll
Lift up your proud little crestl
Open your musical beakl
Other birds have to do their best
And you need only to speak,"
The nightingale shyly took
Her head from under her wing,
And, giving the dove look,
At once began to sing;
There was never bird could pass
The night was divinely calm,
And the people stood on the grass
To hear the wonderful psalml
The nightingale did not care,
She only sang to the skies;
Her song assembled there,
And there she fixed her eyes:
The people that stood below
She knew but little about;
And the story's moral, I know,
If you'll try you'll find it out.

: EDITOR ADVANCE: Lsaw iii your
last issue an article that had in it the
ring Of common sense. Ireally believe,
and have often remarked, that the pest.
to which we have been subjected will
prove great blessing to our people in
more ways than one. It will teach
them economy, which is very necessary
in co nmencing where everything has to
be created but the soil. 1t will also
teach them that it will not do to rely
upon wheat exclusively. We must have
a variety of crops and plenty of stock.
Wheat growing is expensive, while in
stock raising there is but little money
out after the first start, and we can har-
vest them at leisure. hoped two years
ago to see some good bl0oded stock
brought in hereby men that were able,
and advanced the idea to some of them,
but, like most Of us, they had large
eyes for wheat. We have reason to
thank God that the wheat mania is dy-
ing out. Let us hope that hereafter it
will take it's proper place among the
rest of our crops. We hope next sum-
mer to see cheese factory here in town
and to see farmers lay a firm founda-
ton for future prosperity with stock as
the chief corner stone. GRANGER.

FIRE.
On the night of December 31st,
about dark the house of W. w. John
son who lives on section 10 in Bigelow
township, took fire and was consumed
in a few minutes with nearly all the
household goods it contained. Mr.. J.
and wife were absent ut the time and
the house was left III care OF four small
children. a spark Of fire blew into a
bundle of hay which lay behind the
stove. The hay blazel up Immediately,
and the oldest child, 4 little girl, seized
the burning bundle, and drew it out of
the house, but in doing so, the flames
reached up high enough to ignite some
broom-corn hanging over head and, in
Il moment, the loft was in flau'es. n.
V. Mcdowell, who lives half IL mile
distant, saw the flames coming out
about the stove-pipe and Immediately
ran to the house. When he arrived,
the roof and loft were nearly burned
out. He found the two smaller chill.
dren down on the floor and nearly SUI.
located. He ut once threw them upon
!. bed-tick and drew them out of the
house. Mr.. johnson ard wife were on
the way home and saw the flames when
they broke through the roof, but ar.
rived too late to save anything. Mr..
Med. succeeded in getting the stove,
some bedding, and a little flour out
and this is ill that was saved. Tie
Oldest child, a little girl. manifested
great bravery and was with difficulty
restrained from rushing into the flames
to save property.
The house was small frame one
and the loss is between $500 and 400,
A subscription paper has been circul;,.
ted and sufficient has been raised to
enable Mr.. Johnson to rebuild. The
Grand Army Post voted $50 toward
the fund.
