A STARNGE SToRY.-Some years
ago Benjamin F. Taylor, a boy of
sixteen years, was convicted of
crime in Northwestern Arkansas and
sentenced to the penitentiary for five
years. He had been incarcerated
but few months when he succeeded
in escaping. Evading detection and
battling the pursuit of the officers
and blood hounds, he reached Mont
calm, Hill county, Texas. Here he
resolved to lead different life, and
under an assumed name secured
respectable situation. BY his honest
and industrious habits he soon gained
the confidence and respect of the COM
munity and finally married one of
the bells of the town. The union
was happy one and Taylor became
one of the best citizens of the village.
A month ago, while seated by the fire.
side surrounded by his family, an
officer of the law appeared with the
papers for his arrest as fugitive.
Taylor quietly submitted to arrest.
He was taken prisoner, handcuffed
and the following day he was again
in the prison walls of the Arkansas
penitentiary. His devoted wife fol-
lowed him to the prison door. Find
ing no hope there she turned to the
executive mansion where she pleaded
with the governor in behalf of her
husband. Petitions for Taylor's par
don poured in from Montcalm and
the governor aissued pardon. A hap
ply husband and devoted wife were
among the passengers bound for Tex
as the other day.

REV. SAM JONES VS.. SANFORD BELL.

We find the following in a recent
issue of the Chattanooga Commercial /:
Sanford Bell, an old conductor
who has for years run by Gainesville
says that Sam Jones reputation used
to be such that he was always afraid
to stop at Gainesville for fear Jones
would come aboard. Mr.. Jones, by
way of retaliation, says that if San
ford ever gets to heaven it won't be
fifteen minutes before he will pull
out a bulls eye watch to see if it is
not time to return.
The above reminds us of another
good one we heard the other day
about these two worthless. The Rev.
Sam is very much opposed to Sunday
railroading and Sunday railroad trav-
ell, as every good person should be,
and has frequently talked to Sanford
on the subject when on his train.
Well, not long since Sanford found
him on one of his Sunday trains 60
ing to one Of his appointments, and
taking seat by him, said:
"Mr, Jones, you say you are OPP
posed to Sunday travel on railroads
that it is religiously wrong; but
how is it that | find you here to-
day."
Gas religious principle Sunday
travel on railroads is wrong, San
ford; but in the present case it is
not, for when am going to one of my
appointments, as | am to-day, and
the devil comes along | don't think ii
wrong to get on his back and ride as
far as | can on my way. "-[Dalton

WHOSE FAULT Is IT2

If we are unlovely, whose fault is
it if our children are unloving and
unloved
If we acknowledge not the one
true and living God, whose fault is it
flour children grow up idolators
five use profane language, whose
fault is it if our offspring unstintingly
indulge in profanity as their second
nature
five remember not the Sabbath
day to keep it holy, whose fault is it
that our children grow up inveterate
Sabbath breakers ?
If we obey not Gods law, and have
no respect for the admonitions of our
earthly parents, whose fault is it if
our children delight in disobedi-
ence?
lfwe are cruel, and stay not our
hand when tempted to put an end to
some creatures life, whose fault is it
If our children grow to be murderers,
even if in a small way?
IT we resist not the temptation of
making ourselves the possessors of
another's property, whose fault is it
if our children become thieves?
live adhere not unto the truth.
whose fault is it if our little ones
speak falsely?
If we ever rule in our homes with
an iron rule, whose fault is it if our
children hasten to deceive us
five allow our children to have
everything for which they ask, wheth
er for their good or otherwise, whose
fault is it if they manifest a desire for
everything they see or hear about?
If husband cherisheth not his
wife, and is loud in the disapproval
of her defects, whose fault is it if
their children believe their mother
unworthy of respect and act accord
ingly?
fla wife honoreth not her hus-
band, whose fault is it if their chill
dren listeneth not unto their fathers
counsel +?
If mother sayeth "thy father is a
fool !" whose fault is it if the chill
dren tell him so p?
If one parent setteth bad exam
pie for the children to follow, can
it be always possible for the other
to counterfeit that influence and pro-
nounce the children free from its
faint?
Let us, then keep a strict watch as
to what our example shall be unto
the dear souls lent us from the Lord.

A DOUBLE LIFE.

One winter several years ago a
New York detective was commission
ed to account for the disappearance
of a well-known citizen of Williams
burg. He had brought home pref
ty Italian wife some years before, who
had borne him two children. He
had long been in the habit of absent
ing himself from home nearly the
whole of the week, but always re-
turned cheerful and with plenty of
money. The neighbors seldom saw
him and scarcely knew him. His
wife, little acquainted with English,
knew nothing OF his business or his
store; knew nothing Of his family
connections, and in less than thirty
days after his disappearance was quite
destitute of money.
When she explained this to her
grocer he placed the affair in the
hands Of the police, and some of her
wealthy neighbors, becoming inter-
ested in her, provided her with means.
She had no picture of her husband,
but finally, among quantity of pho
tographs placed before her, she pick
ed out one-that of well-known au-
thor and lecturer-which twas like
him, but was not him..
With this small clue the detective
at last discovered in photograph
gallery the picture of well-known
New York business man, which he
borrowed and showed to the Italian
wife. She recognized it at once, es-
pecially the clothes and jewelry.
Further investigation disclosed the
fact that he had not lived on the best
of terms with his family in New
York; that he regularly left them
every week, pretending to go to Bos-
ton or Philadelphia; that he had
lived abroad alone several years; that
on the night he disappeared from
Williamsburg he came home with a
severe cold, was attacked by pneu-
monia, became delirious, talked a
gibberish OF Italian and English
which his family did not understand,
and died in a few hours. In tact he
had led dual life-distinct existence
on each side of the East River, and
had never been even suspected in his
duplicity.
His widow behaved quite generous
ly to the betrayed Italian, and sent
her back to Italy with a handsome
present on the understanding that
she and her children should abandon
the dead mans name. There is sci
dom anything more strange in fiction
than this double life of a man who
died in the bosom of bis real family
and was hunted as a missing husband
and father by the other

HE WON HIS CASE.

A young lawyer, about to be admit
ed to practice before the Supreme
Court, asked the Hon. David Davis
for some advice as to the conduct of
his first case. "You needn't be
afraid" SAID the rotund ex-Justice,
"to speak before the Supreme Court,
and if one of those buffers in toga
interrupts you in the midst of an ar
gument by some irrelevant question,
don't be frightened and spoil your ar
gument by stopping to answer him.
Just say quietly, Excuse me, your
honor, but l will reach that by and

matter. You need not be afraid that
you will be called up to answer it af-
ter you have taken your seat" The

Pick out the LATEST, poorest man

grumbling about luck. When he

about come through shiftlessness and

AN EXTRAORDINARY SwINDLER.

EefnapS the most extraordinary
swindler of the day died about a
month ago at Lima, Peru. His name
was Paraf and he was born forty
years ago in Alsace of most reputa-
Bile family. He had fine education
and proved even when young to be a
most brilliant and expert chemist.
His father was manufacturer of cal
icOes, and the son was placed at the
head OF the print works. On a vaca-
ton at Glasgow his father not re-
spending with enough funds to suit
him, he sold an alleged discovery of
a new dye to a Glasgow manufactur-
er for $4,000, which he took to Par
is, and in less than month lost it all
to gamblers and female adventures.
The dye was worthless, and the Glas-
gov manufacturer was out of pocket.
When Paraf was penniless he went
to his old master, Schutzenberg, in
Paris, and together they discovered
the famous aniline dyes. He dispos-
ed of this patent in England, and was
on the highway to fame and fortune,
but he spent his money as fast as it
came to him, was again destitute,
stole a patent for new dye from a
friend, sold it to his uncle in Paris
for $4,000, and at the age of % land
ed with that sum at New York.
He was very engaging in his man
ners and soon secured the acquaint-
ance and confidence of capitalists. He
sold an alleged discovery of "aniline
black" to New England manufacture
ers for 100000, with which he re-
turned to New York, took suite of
elegant rooms at the Everett House
for 1925 a week, and flung his mon
ely right and left; loaned it to flatter-
ing friends $1,000 and $4,000 at a
time; would pay hack driver S25 a
night for standing in front of the no
tel rather than take the trouble of
dismissing him; bathed in altar of
roses, and gave sumptuous dinners
at Delmonico's. OF course there was
an end to this, but he repeated the
experience more than once by fur
Their swindles, selling "cloverine"
dye to damask manufacturer, and
involving Governor Sprague, of
Rhode Island, in an investment of
100000 for ''madder dye" which
failed to work. Then he stole pro-
cess of making olemargarine from its
French inventor, Mourier, sold the
rights to New York parties, who had
to buy them again from the real in
ventor, and who, therefore, turned
Paraf out in the cold.
His career in New York was run.
But he went to Chill, formed com
pany of capitalist to extract gold
from copper, but extracted gold from
pumpkin heads instead until they
caught him and clapped him into
prison where he died. He had scores
opportunities for making himself
honestly rich by his talents-oppor-
tunities which do not come even once
to one man in 10000; but he evil
IDENTIFY preferred crooked ways, dis
sipation, vice and wild life to the
soberer virtues which might have
brought him respect, honor, wealth
and all reasonable luxury beside.

Horror Of Mineral Poisoning.

Thousands of persons are poisoned
in America by the continued use of
Mercury, Iodide of Potassium and
other minerals, for various diseases.
The Mercury works it way into the
tissues, producing rheumatism and
decay of the bones. The Iodide of
Potassium eats away the coating of
the stomach, and dries up the gastric
juices which digest the food, and the
patient fingers along in agony or is
glad to die to get away from misery
Swift's Specific is complete anti
dote to all this poison. 1t eliminates
Mercury from the system, removes
the evil effects of Iodide of Potassium
and brings back health and happi-
ness. Send your address for copy
