No, MY son, cheek is not better than
wisdom j; it is not better than honest
modesty it is not better than anything.
Don't listen to the siren who tells you
to blow your own horn or it will never
be footed upon. The world is not to be
deceived by cheek, and it does search
for merit, and when it finds it merit is
rewarded. Cheek never deceives the
world, my son. 1t appears to do SO, to
the cheeky man, but he is the one who
is deceived. Do you know one cheeky
man in all your acquaintance who is
not reviled for his cheek the moment
his back is turned ? Is the world not
continually drawing distinction be-
tween cheek and merit Almost every
body hates the cheeky man, my SON
Society tires of the brassy glare Of his
face, the hollow tinkling of his Gym
balline tongue, the noisy assumptions
Of his forwardness. The triumphs of
cheek are only apparent. He bores his
way along through the world, and fre-
quently better people give way for him.
But so they give way, my boy, for a
man with a paint pot in each hand.
Not because they respect the man with
the paint pots, particularly, but because
they wantato take care Of their clothes.
Avoid check, my son. You can sell
goods without it and your customers
won't run and hide in the cellar when
they see you coming. Burlington

a CELEBRATED German physician
has advocated a new theory, and that is
that all food should be eaten raw, in
stead Of. being cooked, and he claims
that il his instructions are carried out,
and meat and vegetables are eaten in
their natural state there viii be no
more sickness, and that people viii die |
of old age instead Of disease. The
thing looks feasible, but we should like
to see the German doctor try his own
theory, for instance on bologna sau-

along by the side Of the stampede, and
soon overlook the leaders. 1t don't do
to try and turn run too quick. I kept
by the. side of the leaders and quarter
ing on them striking their aanks and
pushing gradually against them on the
left, slowly turns the leaders slightly to
the right. If that can be done it is
only matter of time before the line of
cattle will 'mill' itself. The leaders
only need be turned-therest all blindly
follow. By constantly keeping them
turning to the right the leaders were
swung clear around finally, and over
took the fag end of the line.
''There they were rushing around in
a circle, the center of which soon closed
up and they were milling : that is,
they had formed a solid wheel, and
kept going round and round themselves
in the same space of ground. / tell you
that COW boy and myself did some tall
riding around that 'mill' to keep the
outside stock from flying off at tam
gent, as they will do sometimes. Little
by little they slowed down, and as soon
as we could make our voices heard we
quieted them by singing and talking to
them. There is nothing which will
bring a crazy steer to his senses as
quick as the sound of a human voice,
and if you can only sing a little, you
can do the work all the quicker. The
elashing and crashing of horns and the
pounding of hoofs grew less and less
deafening one after another would
recognize our voices and slow down,
until finally, almost as suddenly as it
had started, the run was at an end,
and the cattle as quiet and well be-
hayed as ever. In the morning the
circle where the mill had been was as
devoid of vegetation as dancing hall.
The sagebrush was ground to powder,
and the ground looked exactly as
though it had been prepared for cir
Gus ring. Through the sagebrush where
the stock had run, a straight, smooth |
swath was cut, as if by a moving ma
chine with a potato digging attachment.
/ started to say how COW boy could
sleep; throughout that run, through
out the excitement, the deafening noise
and the danger, those cow boys in camp |
slept as they might if in a feather bed
in the Palace Hotel.''

I feel your presence, see your face to-day.

The spring sun glows, again the year is new
And every day hear loves olden song,
My heart is shaking hands NTH you."
Flee all my thoughts, like broods of home

To that fair land beside the Summer sea-
To-day hear the sweet, last-spoken words
Forget me not; o, love, forget not me-"

THE "RACoUET GALoP. livery
body dances the "Racquet Galop.'' It
was composed by Miss Simmons, who
is a niece of Samuel ]. Tilden. She is
young woman of rare attainments
and of great natural gifts. She has
composed several popular pieces. Some
of them are better, in musical sense,
than the gay gallop, but when she
struck that merry chord she set all the
young folks to shaking their feet to its
sweet swell and jingling cadence. The
publishers rushed off thousands of
copies and still there was a call for
more. 1t danced across the Atlantic.
and now stout, red-cheeked English
girls, and airy, sylph-like French DEM
oiselles, and flaxen-haired, blue-eyed
daughters of the Rhine are tripping
gayly to its music. This New York
girl has fairly set the world to dancing.
The wonderful popularity of the 'sRac-
queto has brought thousands of dollars
to her. Not one farthing of this has
she spent in feminine extravaganza or
in the qualification of any selfish whim.
She has made the gold twice golden in
that she has given it all to sweet
charity. Miss Simmons is about %.
She is remarkably elegant in appearance.
She has snug fortune of $500, 600 in
her own right. One of her favorite
amusements is playing the castanet, an
instrument rarely used musically in
America. She learned its mysteries
from the girls in Spain. As an accom-
paniment to the banjo it makes weird,
but beautiful music.-Atlanta Consti-

knocked down, run over, tramped upon

paper credentials and notebook, and
having established his professional

take care Of their wounded. He reached
the British camp that night and wrote
his dispatch of about $500 words. That
dispatch was put upon the army field

In the city of Minneapolis is a band of men,

been appointed for the purpose of, and fully
empowered to place all the taxable property
owned in the corporate boundaries of the city,

These men have taken upon themselves an
obligation to examine into, most Thoroughly,
all these properties, and to make certain
basis of valuation, so that each and every
taxpayer should pay proportionate sum
the rich and the poor to he assessed pro rata.
Now has this board made assessments ac-
cordipg to the dictates OF sound Judgment
and a clear conscience? The rates placed op-
posite the names of certain taxpayers
would most certainly not ap-
pear to give them credit of such
result. In some instances are found the per-

known to be wealthy, and possessing elegant
aud costly household goods and jewelry,
placed at corresponding figure with that Of
a man of moderate or even poor
circumstances with the plainest house

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense of
weight in the back, loins, and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, as flatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspi-
ration, producing very disrgreeable itching,
particularly at night, after getting warm in
bed, is very common attendant. Internal,
