man who seemed to have lost his way.

"Oh, nor replied Daisy. "Its to be a

them more emphatic 81 intended to
surprise her, and that's Row I came to
get lost. It beats me how any one can
get their bearings in such a tangle of
streets and houses.
"Now you're our grandpa, We must be
very good to you" said Dan, leading the
way to the front parlor, and offering the
"new grandfather" the easiest chair.
"Children, what are you doing?" ex-
claimed Mrs. Dimple, as she suddenly
opened the outer door and entered the
hall. Haven't forbidden you children
to go in the parlor when I am away?"
"Yes'm," said Daisy, meekiy; "but
we've adopted grandfather, and"
"Adopted grandfather" interrupted
Mrs. Dimple in Mortified tones, as she
stepped quickly to the parlor door, ex-
pecting to see some tramp helping him
self to the parlor ornaments; but fs-
miliar form arose from the great easy
chair, and familiar voice addressed her.
Sim right down glad to see you,
Sarah. Such a time as I had to find
you, and maybe I'd "a been hunting for
you now If these blessed children
hadn't a known me. It's remarkable,
Sarah, remarkable what memories they
must have! They never saw me but once,
and they could not have been more than
eight months old them"
"Uncle Daniel, this is surprised" ex-
claimed Mrs. Dimple in delight. "But
surely the children did not know your"
"Yes, they did," replied Uncle Daniel,
firmly.
And no power of argument could
shake his belief in 'those children's re-
markable memories" and if they had not
really found and adopted q grandfather,
they had certainly discovered very nice
old uncle, which both Daisy and Dannie
declared was "most as good as truly
grandfather" Golden Days.

ed pretty big, and his face sobered down
from his laugh, and he said:
"Papa, is it the mother?'
We knew it was, but how should four
year-old sleepy baby that couldn't under.
stand German, tell that the lady was the
mother? We asked him how he knew,
and he said:
"Oh, the big man was so kind to her."
The big man hustled out; we gave the
little old mother the rocking chair, and
presently the man came in with bag
gage-map, and to him he spoke English.
He said: "This is my mother; she is go
ing to Iowa, and I have to go back on
the next train, but want you to attend
to her baggage and see her on the right
car, the rear car, with good seat near
the center, and tell the conductor she is
my mother. And here is dollar for you,
and I'll do as much for your mother
sometime"
The baggage-man grasped the dollar
with one hand, grasped the big mans
hand with the other, and looked at the
little German mother with an expression
that showed that he had mother, too;
and we almost knew that the old lady
would be we'll treated. Then we put the
sleeping mind-reader on bench, and
went on the platform and got acquainted
with the German. And he talked of

everything that showed he was live

buying yearling colt 20 a crop of hops
or barley, and that his life was very
busy one; and at times disappointment

struttin' turkey cock,
I'D the clacking of the guineys, and the
cluckin of the hens
And the ROSTERS hallelooyer as he tp-toes on

Oh, it's then the time Teller is feelin' at MS

With the risin' sun to greet MIN from hisn'

As he leaves the house bareheaded ana goes
out to feed the stock.
When the frost Is on the punkin and the fod-

There's sumpin' kind O. hearty-like about the
atmosphere
When the heat of summers over and the cool
in fall is here,
of course we miss the flowers and the pios-
SONS on the trees,
And the humble of the hummin'- Dlrds ana
the buzzin' of the bees;
But the airs so appetizn'. and the landscape
through the haze
OF cri 40 and sunny morning of the early au-
tumn days

to mock,
when the frost is on the punkin and the 100
der's in the shock.

corn,
And the raspin' of the tangled leaves as gold
en- as the morn;
The stubble in the furries-kind O lonesome
like, but still
A preachin' sermons to us of the barns they
growed to fill;
The straw stack in the medder. and the reaper
in the shed,
The bosses in their stalls below, the clover
overhead
oh, it sets my heart a-clickin', like the tickin'
of a clock,
when the frost is on the punkin and the fod-
der's in the shock.

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, YES it that soft and
silky gloss Sc .ltial to perfect beauty.
Frederick hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. eft

TINY FOLK IN ARMOR.

Tiny FOLK IN ARMOR.
Of all the insects, the greatest in num-
Der are the "tiny folk in armor," or the
beetles. Just think of them for a mo.
ment-there are ninety thousand species
and thousands of each speciesl
"Beetle" is name that comes from an
old Saxon word which means "to bite"
And beetles do bite. They bite trees,
roots, and garden plants. They eat other
insects, and even young fishes much
larger than they are themselves AS you
may suppose, they have very strong
jaws.
But they are most peculiar on account
of their armor. They fold their twin
wings of thin skin beneath two horny
covers which meet together in a straight
line on the back. These wing -shields
often glitter and shine in a wonderful
manner.
The young beetles are called "grubs."
They usually have. six legs, although
species has been found without any. At
the period when the grubs pass into the
pupa state, both wings and legs can be
used freely. But by and by the wing leases
grow and harden, and look like coats of
mail, and then the beetle moves more
easily upon the ground than in the air.
Upon some beetles the wing covers
look like plates of gold, or bronze, while
upon others they are green, blue, spotted,
shaded, dotted, striped. Sometimes they
glitter and sparkle as if they were trim.
med with rainbow. colored beads. One
beetle dresses in flashing green's, like en-
eralds. Another looks as if gold-leaf had
been inserted in tiny points on his back.
In South America is found a splendid
beetle Of dark olive-grsen. marked in red,
yellow, and white, and the marking looks
like Chinese writing. Oilers look as If
they were dressed in rich velvets.
With one family Of beetles you proba-
bly, feel at home:
"Lady-bug, lady-bug.
Fly away homel
Your house is on fire,
Your children will burn"
One kind of lady bug beetle is often
seen on rose bushes, where it feeds upon
the green plant lice; every child ought to
protect this useful beetle. This kind
usually wears red or yellow armor, speck-
led with black. Sometimes the lady-bug
beetles wear black with red spots. One
kind is all black, and it's larvae are as saw
age among smaller insects as the lion is
among smaller animals. But lady-bug
beetles are SO generally of bright color
that they are often called "the scarlet
family"
The Germans have pretty name for
these small beetles; "Marybugs;" and the
French call them "beasts of the good
God. "-Fannie A. Deane, in Little Men
and Women"

THE BIG MAN AND HIS MOTHER

THE BIG MAN AND HIS MOTHER.
We were at a railroad junction one
night, waiting few hours for a train in
the waiting room, trying to talk brown
eyed boy to sleep. Presently a freight
train arrived, and a beautiful little old
woman came in, escorted by a German,
and they talked in German, he giving her,
evidently, lot of information about the
route she was going, and telling her about
her tickets and baggage check, and occa-
sionally patting her on the arm. At first
our United States baby, who did not I'M
derstand German, was tickled to hear
them talk, and he "snickered" at the pc
culiar sound of the language that was be-
ing spoken. The big man put his hand
to the old lady's cheek and said some
thing encouraging, and tear came to
her eye, and she looked as happy as
queen. The brown eyes OF the boy open

Ten Years Younger.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: For years, 1 was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out q new growth. L
could hardly trust my senses when I
first found my hair growing; but there
it is, and am delighted. took ten
gears younger"
A similar result attended the use of
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
HI. Bedloe, of Burlington, VT, Mrs. J. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me-, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing to inn
purity of the blood or arrangement of
the stomach and liver, in which case,
course of Ayers SarsaparilIa or of
Vigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions of the
body. AT the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good without
persevering trial and strict attention
to clearly and temperate habits.
