never wish to marry; will stay with you
always, and he is SO good and kind, you will
never scold him any more, will you?''
Gretchen readily promised, and in their
mutual efforts at consolation the time pass
ed until the sun went down and the road
was lost in the darkness,
In silence and sadness they wended their
way back to the cottage, but just as they
reached the door the CHEEKY voice of Karl
was heard shouting their names, "Dora,
Gretchen, have you no welcome for me p
He kissed and emb raced them alter
nately, like one half mad with joy.
''The fortune is found You can be a
bride tomorrow, my darling. Come, good
wife, light" and seizing each by the hand
he half dragged them to the chimney, and
throwing his jacket upon the floor began
with random strokes to beat the rocks
which composed the chimney's back.
Gretchen and Dora thought he had lost
his senses, and sobbingly implored him to
desist Their distress in measure calmed
him, and he hurriedly related what had
happened upon the bridge. They listened
with Joy and wonder to his strange tale,
and then set to with will to assist him in
discovering the hidden treasure.
For hours the solid masonry resisted
their united efforts, and the night was far
spent when the heavy stone yielded and
rolled from its place, revealing niche fash
ioned in the rock in which stood an earthen
pot half buried in dust Karl seized hold
of it to draw it from its hiding-place, but
its weight was so great that at first it did
not move; but with mighty wrench he
dislodged it and it fell heavily upon the
hearthstone shattered in fragments, and the
golden coins and flashing gems were scat
tered in confusion over the sanded floor.
For an instant they were struck dumb with
amazement; then hastily gathering their
treasures they examined them by the lamp
light. The coins were Roman Of an an
cient date, and the setting of the jewels
showed that the workmanship was centuries
old, They had doubtless been secreted by
the priests who had lost their lives in the
pillage of the convent.
need not tell you that Fritz and Dora
were married and lived happily forever
after. Their home is a stately mansion
which stands beside the ruin, and little
Fritzes and Doras play hide and seek among
the crumbling stones of the old cloister.
Karl would not leave the cottage where
he had passed so many years, but dwelt
there in grateful remembrance of the place
vboro ba bod found his fortune Tn his
luck he did not forget the old sentry who
had directed him to its hiding place, but
generously provided for him and his family
Gretchen never scolded Karl after hel
promise to Dora-though their riches may
have had something to do with that-but
let him, as often and as long as he chose
lie and sleep undisturbed beneath the trees
amid the humming of the bees beside the
murmuring waters of the weir.

The Grandest Stairway in the World.

Baron de Thomson to New York In
terviewer says:-The Calvario Hill, just
west of the city of Caracas, the scene ofa
battle between the Spaniards and the patri-
OTIS in June, 1921, has been made into a
beautiful park. Going up the mount is
what l believe to be the most magnificent
stairway in the world l have never seen
anything approaching it in stateliness and
beauty in Europe 1t is of sandstone, 100
feet wide and so feet high. The park cost
$2,000,000. The crest is 600 feet higher
than the level of the city, and is surmount-
ed by statue of the "Great President"
Guzman Blanco, the "illustrious American"
as he is called, who has done so much to
pacify and build up the country. He may
have made money during this working,
but the people certainly have the improve
ments. He is worth about S15,000,000.

THE THREE LESSONS.
BY SCHILLER.

BY SCHILLER.
There are three lessons would write
Three words as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scoIn
Put thou the shadow from thy brow
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven
The calm's disport. the tempest's mirth-
Know this-God rules the host of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
Have Love. Not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Faith, Hope and Love-and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges roll,
Light when thou else were blind.

Don't call on your sick friend and ad-
wise him to take some other medicine, get
another doctor, eat more, eat less, sit up
longer, &C out more frequently; stay week
and talk him to death before you think Of
leaving. And lastly, when about to leave,
don't say 'sWell guess its about time |
was going" and then hang around half an
hour before you know how to get away.
Say "Good night, and go and be done
with it.

almost entirely of those who were at

directed to the intolerance which was

of political history, that four-ftths of

Politicians of the j. Nj. DIN class are
rapidly bringing the prohibition cause
into disrepute by their dishonest trickery
in attempting to dupe the friends of the
cause into voting the Prohibition ticket,
and thereby strengthening the Demo
cratic party. Why anyone with ordi-
nary common sense should allow him
self to be made dupe of by these
cunning knayes who are paid for their
work out of the Democratic campaign
fund furnished by the saloons and the
Milwaukee Brewers Association, is a
little more than the ordinary mind can
comprehend. Their warfare is waged
against the Republican party in the
interests of the Democratic party, with
its free trade and free whisky. The
Prohibitionist, published in Dubuque,
in the interests of prohibition. is bitterly
and uncompromisingly opposed to the
Democratic schemers who, under the
cover of the Prohibition party, are
working to secure their ends. Refer
ring to these Prohibition party schemers
it says:
We take occasion 10 say that our
prohibition friends are going to as
absurd extremes in the advocacy of
their partizan ticket, and in some cases
championing it with as much falsehood
as any party leaders ever dared to do
Men of conscience are earnest men, and
ought TO be honest
And we would add, that sensible men
should not allow themselves to be made
dupes of by cunning rascals who are
drawing pay from the enemy.

Turn the rascals out, is the war
cry of the Democratic party in this
campaign, and it is very appropriate
motto for the party. That party can
turn out more rascals than any other
party that ever existed in this country
Just how many they can turn out to the
square mile in the Five Points and slums
of our large cities it is difficult to deter
mine, but if they did not turn them out
very numerously they could not carry a
school district in the United States.
Turning out rascals is a great Demo
cratic industry, and has been for great
many years. 1t is not new thing. but
has long been recognized as the chief
industry in Democratic states and CON-
munilies.

plains itself:
WASHBURN, Wis, Oct. Z, 1884. Mr..
ED1ToR: On Saturday last received a
letter from w. n. Stone, Esq, Chair
man of the County Central Committee,
informing me of my nomination for
Clerk IF the Circuit Court, on the Pro-
hibilion ticket. This was great sur
prise to me as never have met with,
nor worked with any other party but the
Republican party, since its birth into
public life. And while feel myself a
strong Prohibitionist in spirit and in
truth, | do not esteem it best to forSake
the party that has done SO much for me
and my country in the past For it
looks to me that the most of the votes
given for Prohibition, is not only taking
support from the party of my early
choice, but it is aiding and abetting the
Democratic party that sought to des-
troy our country. aud gives US no assur-
ance of anything better in the future.
Therefore respectfully decline the
nomination; choosing rather to 'rust the
Republican party, believing that in due
season it will give us all the prohibition
we need
