IL ees and rare flowers had made the
children almost wild with delight. and
they were puzzled when they saw the
rich owner of it all, with hollow cheeks
and sunken eyes and despairing face.
The fairy Benevolent OWNED their
thoughts and said: with such leprosy
as Adam Crooks, even birds and fruits
and flowers and q home in apalace fail
to give pleasure and often give positive
pain. This man has everything, as you
see, but he enjoys nothing. His lepro-
sy has brought leanness into his soul
and into his body, too."
(" And will he never be curedP'
Z" That depends upon himself, as /
told you" 81 saF- nr5-
The children looked perplexed, for
they did not fully understand the fairy.
1--WE should like to live here" they
said, " and have all these trees and
birds and fruits and flowers and foun-
tains, and the great palace, too, for oar
o,On."
"For oar own" repeated the fairy,
in a tone of mingled sorrow and pity.
"Ah, then. perhaps you, too, would
have a lean soul and lean body like
Adam Crook"
just then, as the children stood gaz-

he cried out: @
Have pity, oh! have pity upon me,
fairy Benevolent. You delight to do
men good, and crave a blessing that
my food may once more nourish me,
and my palace and fields and gardens
again delight me-
"Break down this high wall that
separates you from all mankind" re-
piled the fairy. cit is an exceeding
great wall, and not even an army of
men could, without your leave. break
it down; but you can do it. Have but
the will, and it will fall"
Adam Crook rose and came with
trembling limbs to the wall, and at the
first touch il fell before him.
"The wall that sel6shness built has
fallenr' exclaimed the fairy, with an
approving smile, that went to the heart
of poor Adam Crook. "And now"
added the fairy. "open your heart to
all men. and bless all the needy every
where with your silver and gold, and
all blessings shall come to you"
Adam Crook needed the fairy's
words, and soon his face was again
plump and fair, while trees and birds
and flowers and sunshine and his palace
yielded him continual delight.
All things were changed, for Adam
Crook was himself changed.-Paul
Golden, in Philadelphia Times.

The Campaign Against Jesse James.

The story of the killing of Jesse
James, the famous Western bandit, is,
so far at least as the preparations for
it were concerned, very thrilling. Doubt
still exists, in consequence of an ina
bility to find his body, in regard to the
truth of the report. 1t was the result
of a carefully planned campaign on the
part of Marshall Ligget, who became
satisfied that James was at the head of
the robbers of the express train at
Glendale, Mo-, few weeks since, and
that they were still at their old haunts
in Clay County. One of their former
band, George Shepherd, having, after
a term in the Kentucky Penitentiary.
returned to life of industry, was per-
suaded to enlist as detective in the
expedition against them. He was fur
nished with printed slip purportihg
to be cut from a Kansas City paper,
which stated that he (Shepherd) had
been identified as one of the Glendale
robbers, and that detectives were now
on his track. Shepherd first went to
the homestead of James mother, Mrs.
Samuels, situated three miles from
Kearney and concealed from the main
road by heavy growth of timber. She
eyed him suspiciously, but he succeeded
in convincing her, by means of the
newspaper slip, that he wanted to re-
join his old companions. She left the
room and on returning bound a hand
kerchief over his eyes, assuring him
that he could only remove it at his
peril. He then became aware that
another person was in the room. He
was taken by the arm and conducted
out of doors. Then he was led quietly
a long distance, apparently, and oc-
cupying about three-quarters of an
hour. At length he was halted and
found himself confronted by Jesse
men. There was some rough talk at
some suspicion of his motives, but all
were at length satisfied. He was
solemnly sworn into the brotherhood,
invoking upon his own head the ex-
tremest penalty for any breach of faith
or act of perfidy. The gang were all
effectively armed and their horses were
concealed in the brush. He was subse-
quently permitted to return to Kansas
City for the purpose of equipping him
self for the road, and gave Marshal
Ligget all the information he had
gained. He told them they intended
raiding a bank at Short Creek and clear
ing out for Texas. Ligget stationed a
posse near the stream where the gang
intended crossing, but Shepherd, know
ing it to be impossible to surprise
James, or to attack him openly, con-
ceived the idea of killing him himself
and drawing the rest of the gang, in
their pursuit of him, into the Marshars
ambush. He had discovered, too, that
James had found out that the bank was
guarded-which is said to have been a
blunder-and that he would have to
kill James in self-defense. He shot him,
or says he did, but the other members
of the gang did not pursue him as far
as the place of ambush, and so escaped.
Doubt is therefore yet expressed in re-
gard to James death. r-.

The little Sweep

Several years ago an effort was made
to collect ali the chimney swaepers ia the
City of Dublin for the purpose Of edaea-
tion. Among the others came little
fellow wboTas asked ifhe knew his letters.
"Oh yes, sir, was the reply.
ADO you spell ?"
ooh, yes, sir" was again the answer
"Do you read q
ooh, yes, sir"
"And what book did you learn from ~
"Oh, T never had a book in my life, sir
"And who was your school-mastor ?"
ooh, I never was at school"
Here was a singular case ; o boy could
read and spell without book or master
But what was the fact Why another
little sweep, little older than himself
had taught him to read by showing him
the letters over the shop doors which they
passed as they went through the City
His teacher, then, was another little sweep
like himself, and his book the sign boards
on the houses, What may not be done
by trying?- Chj1d'S World.

And they did it. They had seen enough
in the last five minutes to satisfy them
that we would do just as we threatened,
and the five who were left unhurt fell On
their knees, threw away their knives and
begged for their lives in a babel Of differ

really at our mercy.
By this time our friends came pouring
up from below, half dressed, but most OF
them armed.
The. Captain gave them few directions
and part of them went after ropes and
shackles, while he and I, with others who
were armed kept the mutineers covered

were all securely roped and ironed, in

| Danger comes from sudden straining
of one muscle or set Of muscles, 50 as to

saws the Herald Of Health. Few escape
this. Then add to this the injury Of
overwork.
Overwork is simply working after the
strength has been reduced SO low that It
IS painful OF wearing to move. 1t IS
working after the nourishment IN the
blood has been mostly used up. It is
like keeping mill going when the steam

to old age if they had taken proper care
Of themselves. As a rule farmers do not
battle as they should. The daily bath to
