from cold or your skin cracks with
fever. No spot in all the world to call
your own, not even the mud wherein
your wandering footsteps leaves it's

no unbroken link to bind you to the
past. A name like curse to blight
every hope OF manhood, and reputa-

A Boy Guest.

why, yes" said Mrs. Steuben,
slowly, "you may invite Harry for a
week if you like. Be sure to say week,
in your letter."
This was in answer to her sons urgent
request. He wanted to see his old
friend again whom he had known two
years before in the city, and there was
no way he could do it unless Harry
could visit him. Both the boys were
IA years old, and had once been
neighbors and friends, until the
Steubens had moved to small town on
the shore. After that the boys knew of
each other only by letters.
Mrs. Steuben had her own Homework
to do, and it was midsummer. time
which tried all her strength and will
power. There would be another room
to attend to, another person to cook for.
besides the little extra niceties and the
effort to entertain which would be due
to guest, But she loved her boy, and
he wanted Harry. Papa was willing.
grandpa made no objections, and little
Lottie danced up and down with a
child's love of company.
So Harry came. He had grown in
the two years, and looked quite like a
young man, Mrs. steuben thought, as
he walked up the path with the valise.
This made her q. little more nervous
about her household arrangements, and
there was the mercury already above
ninety.
But Harry was only boy yet. after
all. He and Fred We're soon running

Henry Bergh's Life Work.

Henry Bergh who died in New York on
last Monday morning, was a public bene-
factor. Ii no monument to his memory is
erected it will not be because his name AMI
fame are not worthy to be pe1petuated by
such means If dumb animals had the
p wer to express their gratitude they would
gladly make known his deeds to coming
generations. He was their friend, and spent
the greater part of his life, after reaching
his maturity, in protecting them against
cruelty and abuse.
Born in 1923, he was Secretary Of the
American Legation Mt st. Petersburg in
1862 There an incident occurred which led
him to found the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals. His footman inter
fered in behalf of a donkey that was being
cruelty beaten. The gold lace worn by the
footman awed the crowd, and Mr.. Bergh,
who was present in his carriage, exclaimed
that at last he had found way to utilize his
gold lace. Soon afterward he went to Lon
don and had several conferences with Lord
narrowly, who was President of the
English society to prevent cruelty
to animals. He then went to New
oTh anu established a Similar SO
ciety there. Many good citizens came
to his assistance. For years, however, he
was prosecuted, ridculed and threatened
with bodily harm. He perseyered, how
ever, and finally. made the society great
success. Many of the improvements for
the amelioration of the sufferings of dumb
animals in New York, and in other cities,
are due TO him. Drinking fountains have
been established, better stables provided,
the hours of work decreased and the use of
unnecessary instruments of torture rem
dered less frequent
The society is in fourishing condition.
More than $500 600 he's been willed to it.
and it now has branches in tbirty-six
States. In New York State alone it en-
ploves 325 men who are constantly on the
look out for instances of cruelty to dumb
animals. Ont of this society grew the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, and very good and successful
society it is. From being ridiculed and per-
secuted Mr.. Bergh lived to see himself
famous and honored and his work generally
commended. His life was useful one, and
his memory is an honored one.

They Have Parted Company.

The Rev. c. H. Spurgeon and the Rev.
Timothy Harley have parted company.
They are no longer associated in Christian
work The Christian World, of London,
Eng, contains the following paragraph,
which will be read with interest by the
many friends of Mr. Harley, who was for
seven years pastor of the Baptist church in
this city; "The limitations to which Mr.
Spurgeon is prepared to subject Christian
fellowship is strikingly shown by his treat
ment of the Rev. Timothy Harley, F. R.
A. s., the author of Lunar Science, Ancient
and Modern Because that gentleman has
ventured to show that the passage in the
Book of Joshua about the moon standing
still is, to use the words OF
the Speakers Commentary, "A frag-
ment of unknown date and uncertain
authorship, interpolated into the text of
the narrative and is irreconcilable with
science, Mr.. Sturgeon declares that he can
no longer personally remain in association
with him. If the pastor of the Metropolitan
Tabernacle goes on at this rate he will soon
be unable to personally associate with any
body who has the most rudimentary
acquaintance with science, or who has the
slightest knowledge of biblical criticism.
The Rev. DR.. Clifford, NJ. A., D. D. Vice
President of the Baptist Union of Great
Britain and Ireland, to whom this fact
was submitted, says: L am simply be
wildered What are to be the bases of
Christian fellowship if questions of opinion
of this kind are to be turned into terms of
Christ an communion Mr.. Harley. after
friendship with Mr.. Sturgeon of about
thirty years, has consequently withdrawn
from the association of which Mr.. Spurgeon
is the President.

Father and Son Eaten by Wolves.

A horrible story comes from Poplar Grove
small town, thirty miles southeast of Fort Tot
ton. A farmer S mt his son out on Saturday
morning to clear path to hay stack several
rods away. He had been shoveling snow for
half an hour when his cries We're heard in the
house. The old man seized his shotgun and
rushed out in time to see his boy surrounded by
pack of wolves, which were killing him. After
firing both barrels without effect, he dubbed his
gun and made a most desperate effort to defend
himself, but he was powerless against the
wolves. From the windows of the house his
agonzed wife and children witnessed the one
sided fight. The resistance did not last long,
and then for an hour the wolves toasted upon
their victims. The woman dared not leave the
house, and remained there until neighbors
came. Crushed bones fieshless and clothing
torn TO shreds alone showed where the battle
had taken place. That part of the Territory is
sparsely settled, and the people thoroughly
terrorized by the occurrence, have armed them

Twin Brothers Handwriting.
From the Le,ciston Journal


81 heard a good story the other day, " said one
of the orators ION couple of Lewiston men.
They, are twin brothers and the most remark
able in some respects that ever existed. Both
are of scientific artistic turn of mind and re-
markably capable in many ways The most
curious thing to me, however, is the fact that
their great resemblance extends even to their
handwriting and has been a great puzzle TO
bank officials and everybody else. These
brothers are inventive and have lately paten ted
an important device. The story, as beard it,
is that after the specification and affidavits,
etc, etc, were made, it was required that both
should make oath and sign documents. They
did so and the papers were sent TO the patent
Office.
Not long after their attorneys received Motif
cation of irregularities in proceedings and soon
the specified statement was made from the
United States Patent Office, that the law re-
quired that both persons should sign the papers,
while in this case it was very evident that one
person had signed both papers. The lawyer
smiled Here was direct statement The
United States Patent office experts didn't say
that thought that the names had'bee signed
by the sam" person, but they deliberately
stated, in 50 many words, that one person had
signed both names. He had to make per
sonal explanation to the patent Office and re
late how wonderful is the wondrouS affinity of
birth "

A Washington Republican paper wants
to create the impression that Mr.. Cleve-
lands health is not good. Its idea in doing
this is supposed to be to injure him as a
Pres dental candidate. 1t says he recently
applied for policy of $50,0O0 in a leading
New York life insurance company, and on
examination by the companys physician a
report against taking the risk was made.
Col. Dan Lamont comes forward and sets
matters right. 1t will be noticed that Col.
Lamont usually speaks to the point, and at
the right time. This is probably because
he was trained in a newspaper Office. He
says the President insured his life sometime
ago for sum which he considered ample,
and since that time he has repeatedly de-
clined to be approached by agents. He
wants no more insurance, and has applied
for none.

An incident connected with the prepare
tons for receiving the President in
Florida is being given with zest in WASH
ington. A member of the Senatorial party
set it ahoat. The day before Mr.. Cleve-
lands arrival in Jack 'onvile, Judge Settle
was presiding over the United States Dis
trict Court, and a member of the bar moved
TO adjourn over in honor of the visit or
course the speech he made in support of his
motion was flowery-t could harll. have
been otherwise in Florida. Judge Settle is
a Republican, and presided over the PhiIa-
ielphia convention which nominated Grant
for President. He acquesced at once in
the motion, and in matter -of-fact way
said the court would, with great pleasure,
adopt the suggestion of the learned gentle
man, as it had been very long time since
the bar of the State had seen Democratic
President, and as this generation would
probably never see another one. The laugh
was on the lawyer, but it would seem al
the Judge is not sufficiently enthusiastic on
the subject of Flnrida's future to think that
during the next TWENTY-FIVE years the State
will entertain the different Presidents Of
that period.
