HOMELESS MEN AND WOMEN.
Burdette Moralizes on the Joys Which They
Miss.

IN this land there is very little excuse for a
homeless man. He is a social tramp. As a
rule he can offer but poor excuses for his con
dition. But the minated and homeless woman,
whose brows may never be crowned with the
lays of household authority claims not our
pity, but our esteem. our admiration Because
it is not always her fault that she has no home
Sometimes she hasn't had chance And we
love these unselfsh and devoted wives, which
work in single harness, and carry cheerfully
life's burdens and cares with none
of those beautiful incentives to duty
which animate the married sister. For she
the patient CHEEKY cleaner, has never
caught the speakers eye, and to her Boaz can
never be more than brother-in-law. Alone she
sings and CLEANS and gathers after the reapers
among the sheaves,' and hndeth no special grace
in the eyes of Boaz, which is boss. No man
reaches her the parched corn, and passes her the
vinegar for her mOrsel, and no indulgent reaper
streweth her way with handsful of barley
What she gleaneth, she carrieth home and hath
it for her own. unless, peradventure, she hath
her sisters husband and family to support She
may never have any cigar stumps to
pick off the piano; no pipe ashes to
dust off the window sill; no muddy foot tracks
to brush from the hall carpet no to whom
she can gladly give up the rocking chair and the
new magazine; no one to drag up stairs and put
to bed election nights no one to hide himself be-
hind the morning paper at the breakfast table;
no one to get up in the cold winter mornings
and build the morning fires; she seems to have
none of these joys that make her sisters life a
song. Sometimes when look at one of these
lone women, and think that she may never know
what it is to see the man who has
given his name for the crown
of her love, splitting his eager face over half a
pie at railway dining station, and holding his
disengaged hand over the remaining half to
keep some other hungry man from getting it, 1
pity her. For she is starving Not for the pie;
oh, no. She can get plenty of pie But for the
love of some true hearted man. Womans sym
pathetct dependent trusting nature feeds on
| love- and her life, her heart, her voice is never
raised to the broadcast, fullest capacity for ex-
preston and action, until she has blessed and
filled some mans life with the measureless
riches of her maiden love- and then found some
other woman's photograph in his overcoat

A Dream that Was Worth While.
Danbury News.


F. S. Olmstead has for years had business deal
ings with the late President Seeley, and had a
strong personal attachment for him. On Sunday
night the day before the funeral, he dreamed
that he and Mr. Seeley were standing on a floor
which gave way with them In the struggle to
save himself he was awakened. The dream
made strong impression upon him, and after
eating an early breakfast he hurried to the house
of his dead friend. and without disturbing the
family found his way into the cellar. He felt
that the dream might possibly be warning
and he was moved to examine the supports
to the floor. He found that a very large
beam which supported the floor timbers
of the parlor and a partition wall was
cracked The crack appeared to be fresh one,
and closer examination with lamp showed that
it was, and that it was so large that ones hand
could be placed in it. Mr.. Olmstead immedi
ately got two heavy posts and in short time
made the timber perfectly safe. The timber is
thirty feet long and had no supporting posts. Its
great size was supposed to sufficient to sustain
the weight upon it. In the parlor above rested
Mr. Seeleys remains. A few hours later the
house was filed with friends. Had it not been
for the dream it is not likely the broken timber
would have been discovered in time to prevent
catastrophe. That this dream was a direct
warning to Mr. Olmstead there can be no doubt
but as to the source there will be many differ
ences of opinion.

We need the fresh reading to-day of such eX-

ample of the Almighty, who would spare the
sinner yet vindicate the law, and gave his only
begotten son for the satisfaction of justice,
making the sinners acquittal possible but only
possible upon his complete repentance and ref
ormation. The action of the authorities in
defending the jail was commendable, for it was
the highest vindication of the prerogatives of
law. Nothing could have been more disastrous
than the lynching of score of men uncon-

Advertising Schemes.

Business men are frequently bored by
parties who have some sort of an adver>
tising schemes that is sure to bring to
bring you large returns" The following
from Cincinnati newspaper should serve
as a guide to merchants who expect re
turns from their advertisements
"One of the queer things in business is
the propensity of people to seek irregular
mediums of advertising, 1t is unaccount>
able the prices some men pay for sticking
their advertisements in irregular places.
Especially is this so when compared with
their unwillingness to pay anything for
advertising in the regular channels. Ad
vertisements thrust IN irregular and un,
business like places impress the general
mind that the concern is of similar
character. But an advertisement in a
general newspaper of first class standing
carries an impression that the advertiser
has a standing in his own community
which he is not afraid to show to his
neighbors, and that he does not shrink
from competition with the best of them.
If any one is going to a place to buy,
whether he be trader or buying for his
wn use, and has to seek dealers through
advertisements, where will he look for
them? He looks to the most reputable
newspaper IN the place, and he thinks
that advertising in these gives an assur~
ance of the good standing of the adver-
tiser and his husines enterprise, and of
the suf1iciency of his stock"

NO RAIN FoRELEvEN WEEKS.
Unprecedented Drought in South
Caroi:ua and Alabama.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct 20.-From many
sections of upper South Carolina come re-
ports of an unprecedented drouth, in conse-
qucncc of which water-cuurses are failing,
and the effects on veg tlti II are being seri-
UuSly felt. IN many localities no
rain has fallen in eight weeks and
the prospects of an early rain is as re-
mote to-day rs it was one month ago.
The temperature Is remarkably warm for the
season, in consequence of which cotton is
opening more rapidly than the planters can
have it gathered Several large streams
have dried up and large number of mills
have been forced to stop for want of water.
In several sections peach and apple trees are
in bloom again. An apple orchard in Ian
caster county has produced three corps of
fruit this year. Altogether, the season is
one of the most remarkable ever known in
South Carolina.
MOBILE, Ala, Oct 20.-The drouth now
is nearly eleven weeks old, and there are no
indications of rain. There is much incon-
venience and some suffering all over the
south. Springs, wells and branches are dried
up, and long drives to rivers have to be made
to water cattle. The rivers themselves are
very low, and gradually reaching the
point in 1896, when the Ala
bama could be waded at Montgomery. The
cotton crop was burnt out more than three
weeks ago, and very little top crop can be
made, and this little only in the lowlands.
The turnip crop, also much relied upon for
| stock feed, is a failure completely. Meantime
no seed can come up, and the farmers are
continually resolving in the hope that rain
may come. This is particularly true of
winter cabbage. Fortunately this drouth
began two weeks later than the drouth last
year, and cotton had better chance to ma

worst fires we ever have had on White lake
occurred THURSDAY night, originating in a
rear room of millinery and fancy-goods
establishment situated i'll the Montague
opera house block The store was occupied
by Miss Julia Gibbons. The fire
beyond all question was incendiaIy,
but who the guilty party is, or the
motive for ese act, is unknown. Last
Thursday evening the building wns fired and
the flames got quite a start before they were
subdued Thursday night about Il O'Clock
the attempt was successful Once more the
flames were almost Immediately discovered
and the alarm given, but before the engines
could arrive the flames were beyond oil con-
trol and the brick building fairly melted
down
A quantity of powder in one of the stores
exploded, and building a mile away Were
shaken by the explosion.
Nine stores, the Montague opera house,
pOstoifice, Montague Lumberman newspaper,
two physicians Offices one suite of dental
rooms, one photograph gallery, and five
suites of rooms were destroyed.
The total loss will reach 100000, and will
be a blow to our sister town from which il
will take wears to recover.
