Late in the evening, towards ten
o'clock, Birdie rung for her wraps.
Smother will be waiting for us. Come,
Cleve, let's go after her and bring her
here, her home"
So they drove off through so many
streets that Birdie wondered where in
the world they were going to.
Darling" Cleve said, abruptly,
"shall / confessp Shall / tell you /
have surprise for you equal to your'sP
Look out!''
She looked out, as the carriage stop
ped at the Symington mansion. An
awning was stretched from the door to
the carriage mount, and velvet carpet
was spread for her feet. The joyous
music of the band, the fitting of ele-
gantly dressed ladies past the windows
it rushed over her like flood. Cleve
had been masquerading for very love of
her.
"You forgive mep'
He looked at her with his splendid
eyes all alight.
"Oh, Cleve, how could help it? How
you must have loved mel"
He escorted her in proudly; and Mrs.
Symington in velvet and diamonds met
them at the entrance.
''Birdie-daughter!''
And all went marry as q marriage

How Nebraska Stands.
Lincoln journal.


Nebraska takes no back seat in the
crop reports of 1888. She stands fifth
in the list of great corn producing
states in the union. Illinois comes
first with 203, 7S6,500 bushels. Then
comes Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, pref
ty close together. Then Nebraska
closes the column with 101, 287 800
bushels, being half as much as was
raised by the empire corn state of the
west
1t has been generally supposed that
Nebraska did not do much in the
wheat line last year, so much of her
energies being OF late given to corn,
hogs and cattle. But her farmers put
in few acres here and there, and the
result is that we are according to an
estimate going the rounds of the press,
the fourth state in the union in the
size of the wheat crop. California leads
with thirty-six million bushels, Mimi
esota follows with thirty. three millions.
Then comes Indiana and Nebraska,
almost neck and neck, the former with
twenty-eight millions four hundred and
forty-seven thousand, and the latter
with twenty-seven millions eight hun
dred forty one thousand bushels.
According to this estimate we beat
Iowa on wheat two hundred thousand
bushels, and Kansas four hundred
thousand.
But however fiattering this wheat
estimate is to our pride it is
probably erroneous. The Journal fig
ures from the data within its possess
sion that the wheat crop in Thu state
last year was about seventeen million
bushels. We stand the tenth state in the
union in production of the cereal.
Considering the showing we made
in corn while in our swaddling clothes,
that's glory enough in one year.

REUNION.
A Family Brought Together After Sepa.
ration of Twenty Years.

Chicago Tribune.
Quite an affecting scene was wit
messed few days ago at No. 81 South
Halsted street, Chicago, where Henry
Schoen resides and keeps a saloon,
what took place there being the finale
of story dating back nearly twenty
years. In 1866 Hungarian named
Henry Friedman came to this country
with his two sons, Jacob, aged 10, and
Joseph, aged Is. Two years later he
returned to his wife in the old country,
their daughter having died there, but
left his boys with a friend in Chicago.
They swore to him that they would al
ways remain together, but this oath was
forgotten as they grew older, and finally
Joe went to Detroit and Jacob to Ala
bama. Then the former went west and
wrote to his brother, advising MIN of
the fact, but Jacob also changed his
residence at that time, and the two
brothers lost track of each other. Joe
wandered over the west and ultimately
located in Dakota, where he
is in business now. Last week it oc-
Cured to him to visit Chicago in search
of his brother, whom he had endeavor-
ed in vain to find by letter. He came
and began tour among the Hun
garians, and a few nights ago found
himself in Schoen's place. There he
related his story, and Schoen's son
promised to join in the search the fol-
lowing day. The two went to the
theater during the evening, and while
they were there a young man who had
heard the story in the saloon posted off
to little candy-store on West Chicago
avenue, and returned to Schoen's place
with an aged couple who appeared to
be anxiously expecting something.
Then the young man sent to the theater
for Friedman, and it was when the
whole party had been gathered
together that the affecting scene took
place. OF course, the old couple were
the parents of the wanderer from the
west. They had long supposed him
dead. The aged mothers JOY so over
came her that she tainted then and
there. The brother for whom Joseph
searched is engaged as a travelling
salesman for a Chicago jewelry house,
and it was he who brought the old folks
to America after the supposed death of
joseph.

A Waterfowl.
Atlantic monthly.

AllantlC mOntnly.
wish to describe beautiful form
of aquatic life lately seen upon one of
our western rivers. To my eye, it
was the most conspicuous object in
sight; with its presence it honored
and 1dealized the stream, and made
the moment in which it was seen wor-
thy of remembrance. A figure all
curves and grace, as BELTS whatever
lives in the sauve communion of waters :;
pure white like a drift of new-fallen
snow kept by enchantment from melt.

or leaving the slightest wake, while
itself and its mirrored image ''fioated
double :" may have wished it would
rise from the water, that might see
the spread of its wings and the manner
of its flight, but in this was not to be
gratified. 1t had the appearance of
sleep; and as neither head nor neck
could be seen, these were, doubtless,
folded under its wing. If it had come
as a migrant from distant regions, it
was now resting oblivious of its long
voyage. Fancy suggested that the
poetry of its motion be set to the music
of swan-song. To what island Of
rushes, or to what bare sandy margin,
would it come at last to die,-to dis
solve in the sun and the wind, leaving
only q pinch of yellow-white dust,
which the least breath might scatter
away? Was perhaps mistaken as to
tie species of this waterfowl? look
ed again, and saw that it was one of
the brood fledged in storm at the foot
of the mill-dam. AIR and water were
it's parents, and its whole substance
but drift of foam. A wild, white
swan it was (such as no fowler ever
shared or shot), sailing solitary and
beautiful down the amber-colored river.

MY HERITAGE.

/ into life 80 full of love was sent
That all the shadows which fall in the way
OF every human being could not STAY,
But fed before the light my spirit lent.
I saw the world through gold and crimson
dyes;
Men sighed, and said: 'Those rosy hues
will fade
As you pass on into life's glare or shade. -
Still beautiful the way seems to mine eyes.
They said: ssYou are too jubilant and
glad;
The world is full of sorrow and of wrong;
Full soon your lips shall breathe forth signs,
not song.''
The day wears on, and still am not sad;
They said: 'sYou love too largely; and you
must,
Through wound on wound, grow bitter to
your kind. +"
Then were false prophets. Day by day I
find
More cause for love, and less cause for dis
trust.
They said: ''Too free you give your souls
rare wine;
The world will quaff, but 1t will not re-
pay.''
Yet into the emptied flagons, day. by day.
True hearts pour back nectar as divine.
Thy heritage! Is it not loves estate?
Look to- it then, and keep its soil well
titled.
hold that my best wishes are fulfilled
Because / love so much, and cannot hate.

BLooDHoU sDs TO CATCH
CONvICTS.
How They are Trained at a Texas Prison.

Houston Post
s.Yes, they are the famous blood
hounds-that is, as much bloodhounds
as are found in Texas. They are SIM
ply foxhounds trained to hunt men,"
"Do you keep them shut up all the
timeP''
"Yes; they would make it lively for
the boys if they got OUT
"How often Go you have occasion to
use them during the yearp'
''Not more than two or three times
Convicts will not leave when they know
good hounds are on hand to catch
them"
"Could you not dispense with the
hounds and depend upon your gunsP"
"No, indeed; you cannot hold con-
victs with shOtguns. 1t is the fear of
the hounds which keeps them quiet.
Desertion is useless when recapture is
moral certainty, rs is the case when
good hounds are employed"
"Do you have difficulty in properly
training your houndsP"
sob, no; that is about the only
sport there is. Here comes the pup
pies. We will give them run and let
you see how it is DONE"
A trusty was sent down the lane and
over the fence, through large field, on
a run for dear life. When he had ac-
complished about half a mile, or half
his circuit, the puppies, three six
months old hounds, were put on his
track, and they started, nosing the
ground and yelping as they ran. On
they kept, over fences and through
stubbles and bitches, never ceasing
their noise. Sometimes they would
run over the trail where the tIusty had
made an abrupt turn, but soon they
would return to the spot where they
had lost the scent and cautiously feel
their way until certain they had the
trail, when they would be off again.
The trusty was long distance runner,
but the soft ground made his i'm
promptu track heavy, and he Jagged as
he approached the end of his run, evi.
IDENTIFY fatigued.
The dogs gained on him rapidly,
and were yelping close upon him. He
was ordered to run to a tree or fence
and get out of their way, so that they
would have to find him by the scent.
He first tried to climb high gate post,
but. the dogs, with their noses
to the ground, were upon him
almost, and forced him to take shelter
in a wagon which was standing in the
yard, where he hid himself in the bed
just as the dogs came to the gate. They
looked up the gate pest and smelled
around little, then without delay fol-
lowed the trail to the wagon and dis
covered their prey, lying painting like a
tugboat. / looked at the perspiring
convict, and my heart smote me for
being the cause of his race, but l soon
found out that it was great privilege,
enjoyed by but few, and giving the
puppies race was considered by them
the very essence of pleasure. The con-
vict took an old blanket in his hand
and alighted on the ground, where the
dogs fought him fiercelv, making
vicious springs for him. He repulsed
them by buffeting them with the
blanket, jumping away and thwarting
them in any manner without hurting
them. Finally one of the dogs fastened
his teeth in the convict's coarse pants,
and, holding on with unyielding
tenacity, was swung round and round
with vigor until tired. The dogs were
then taken by guard, and the convict
went away highly pleased with his
sport.

THE HALLWAY PROBLEM.
Fernatlen or Two Pools East and
Tive West or the Missouri.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The railway
problem in the West has finally been
solved. At the adjourned session Of the
general managers of all western aud
southwestern roads, held here this
afternoon, the initial proposition to
form four pools on Colorado and Utah
business, taking the Missouri as the
dividing line, making two pools east and
two west OF that stream. was finally
unanimously agreed upon. The action Of
the conference provides that rates
shall be maintained until October
9Th. when the provided agreement is
signed BY the Presidents Of the roads.
The pools will enter into effect and re-
main in force until the close Of the pres
ent year. There appears to be no ques-
tion bat that the pools will receive the
sanction Of the Presidents, and the new
combination u slready looked upon as
fixed fact. The general freight agents
of the several lines will meet to-day to
agree upon tariff, and the delicate duty
Of arranging the percentages has been
referred 70 Joseph f. Mckee, as in the
case of the newly formed Nebraska
pool. Commissioners for the
two pools will be named here
after. The result achieved to-day
is naturally looked upon as complete
abandonment Of the tripartite agree
ment. - the advantages given under
that compact to several Of the roads ara
entirely waived. 1t divssts that COM
bination Of the power Of making West
srn rates beyond the Missouri river, and
the new compact provides for the pool
ing Of sll Pacific business. 1t is not ex-
pscted that the formation Of the new
pools viii result in any advance in the
published tariff rates, but will simply
Insure thsir maintenance and cause a
restoration Of tariff rates between here
and southwestern points.

The following extract from the Jour.
nal Of Commerce is suggestive:
docs the consumer, in purchasing o

of the tea leaves? Chemical ANALYSIS of
green tea has shown that the percentage
of gypsum. indigo, Prussian blue and
soapstone, is quite large. 1t certainly
does not seem right that the consumer
should pay the price charged for pure
tea for something that may be pleasing
to the eye bat injurious to the digestive
organs. The chemicals used in the
preparation of green teas are apt to give
tea . peculiar flavor, which 10 consider.
