4 TRUE STORY.
DICK WENTWORTHSGREAT SWIM
The Story OF a Brave Boys Deed-Ee
Saves Many Lives.

DICK w entWOrtn was the poorest
youth in the university. and the proud
est. Without a dollar to begin with.
and without any kind of help, he had
made his way through the first two years
ofhis college course, and meant to make
his way to the end. He did it by
working like slave and living likr~1
pauper," as he himself said. but he did
it proudly, with his head erect. When
anything like help was offered him he
refused it almost resentf'lllv, but he was
not too proud to earn money by saving
wood for those who could pay, or by
doing anv other honest work for wages,
and he was not too proud to cook his
own food and wash his own dishes
At first there were students who
turned up their noses at Dick Went
worth, and called him 4 pauper, but
after awhile even they began to see that
while Wentworth was as poor as a pau
per he had not the trace of pauper' 5
spirit. He was a hard working. indie
pendent gentleman. who respected HIM
self and was soon respected by his fell
low students.
Still nobody thought much about
him. He had no intimate friends, and
was nobody's hero. He was the best
swimmer in the university and the cap
tain of the students life-saving crew
to which the government had furnished
a life-boat for use on the lake-but that
did not count for much in college life.
There was a hurried running through
the college at daybreak one morning,
and loud knock at Nentworth's door.
"What's up?" he asked, leaping cut
Of bed.
Steamer ashore We're going to
man the lifeboat "
'I'll be with you in half a minute, -
answered Wentworth and hastily draw
ing on his trousers and undershirt he
ran toward the lake shore, where all the
students and half the townspeoplc were
gathered.
The scene on which the people look
ed was APPALLING. y large passenger
steamer lay stranded about four hunI-
red Yards out, and the sea was beating
her to pieces. Her upper works were
already mass of splnters, and shat
tered doors and bits Of painted bulk
heads were every minute thrown up by
the pillows at the very feet of the peo-
pie on shore, telling the sad story OF
what was happening out there beyond
the furious surf. The pclting rain and
the driving spray nearly hid the vessel
from view, but in such glimpses as were
to be had of it, the people on shore
could see the passengers and crew cling
ing to the wreck. Fragments washed
ashore showed plainly enough that the
ships boats had been beaten to pieces.
probably in the attempt to launch them,
and the whole ships company were
now hopelessly awaiting death.
The students of the life-saving crew.
with Wentworth at their head brought
their life boat to the beach and pre-
pared to launch it. They placed them
selves i'll two lines, every fellow stripped
to the waist, and at the word pushed
the boat into ihe water. The bow was
instantly swung around by an incoming
wave, and the boat was driven beam
ways upon the shore.

The True Meaning.

"Will you grant me a kiss?" said Gen.
e.al Sherman to a very pretty young
lady in st. Louis.
No." was the blushing reply.
"Ah, mo- means yes" said the Gem
eral, with much manner, aud he helped
himself to couple of kisses.
A few moments later he was asked if
he was candidate for the Presidency,
and he blushingly answered "No."-

Don't Be A Lobster!

HOLSTERS are not proper models
for intelligent huuan beings to copy
after or to go by. You cannot con-
vince Il lobster that a fish is better
than it is; no., not even an oyster.
HOLSTERS don't propose to have any
new ideas Of improvements beat
into their patcs, that Were unknown
to their grand father HOLSTERS orgrand-
mother holsters. A holsters motto
is about like this:
Let the world move and pro gross - it will;
III so back aud be a lob stcr sti l
Now as science, ingenuity and me-
chanical skill develops in this day
and age of the world, people are ben
Gifted thereby, if they will avail
themselves of the privilege.
Intelligent and wide awake peo-
pie will try new ways and improve
ments to facilitate and expedite their
daily routine of business, occupa-
tons and work. Thus a wide-awake
farmer will try 4 new sulky plow, a
new mower, or a new Tiger hay rake.
A wide-awake lady and ~housekeep-
er will try a new sewing machine, a
new reservoir cook stove, and other
new inventions for household use;
especially when such inventions and
improvements are endorsed by the
public, and thus do away with the
old style and customs of living a
hundred years ago.
So in view of the above facts, and
reaching the object aimed at, we
now introduce The Deveaux Patent
Rotary Steam Washing Machine,
which has been sold by us, and used
by citizens of Union county, Oak.
and other localities, since the spring
of 1879, and which has proved to be
the best washing machine yet rep
resented and sold, for the following
reasons:
l. 1t washes by steam and there
is no rubbing and wear and tear OF
clothes.
2. A large washing can be done
in from two to three hours, after a
little experience in using them.
3. No boiling Of the clothes before
nor after washing is done, as steam
does the bleaching at the same time.
4. They require less soft water,
and less wood or fuel for washing
than any other machine or any 9th
er way of washing.
