body says BERTHE, sulkily, evidently
suspecting his ancestress of rioting in
fits on the sly.
Then it would be rude to remind
hey. Try something else"
BERTHE, with lowered crest, decides it
is safest to keep to the same style. He
hazards his next selection with hesita-
ton:
"'Water, water everywhere, but not
drop to drink he says, interroga-
lively, nodding his head and raising
his eyebrows.
Aunt Loo treats this with silent dis
dain, looking at him severely from I'M
der bent brows.
''How about something from Hora-
tius?" he next ventures, with depre-
catory air, :" TO every man upon this
earth death cometh soon or late?' y
THAT isn't appropriate, y Aunt Loo
insists, ''it must be something about
books. OF reading, or writing"
"Oh!' says the nephew with deep
emphasis, as though suddenly enlight-
ened, ''now see. Let's think! Some
thing about writing-I tell you, great
vivacity, i've got it! The name of
some editor.'
This drives Aunt Loo into sarcasm.
Would you like Judas or Ana
nias?" she asks, with brows elevated
with scorn.
BERTHE recognizes a foreign quantity
in her tone and thinks again. He puts
his foretinger on his forehead to keep
down the surging thoughts.
Il like the Bible myself she says,
after a thoughtful pause; "what do you
say to First there was an earthquake,
and then great wind, and then a still,
small voice?'"
Il don't see the exact point" says
the aunt, "and 1 don't think it, po-
lite. Which is your grandmother, the
earthquake, or the wind, or the voice?'
But, Aunt Loo" says the nephew,
with gently, tolerant smile, Il think
you're little bit too particular. Oh,
wait, though! I've got sumner! Oh,
it's just awfully appropriate! ooh,
shrieve me, shrieve me, Holy Man.
Don't you think that's good?"
THAT only means a person who has
committed a sin. Your grandmother
did any thing bad. )"
This is too much for BERTHE. He
throws up the sponge, and inscribes on
his marker that safe, if antique relic,
Remember me-"
Is it necessary to add that the marker
in an incompleted state is superseded
by pen-wiper, the pen-wiper in its
turn by pair of knitted reins-a little
malapropos considering grandma's
ripe old age and rheumatism, and the
reins by linen scrap-book, originally
intended for Cousin Serna's baby, but
the baby having grown past the scrap
book age, relegated as an appropriate
offering to the shrine of grandma's inn
mortal charms.-N. 7. Tribune.

A PREHISTORIC CITY.
Cushman's Discovery of q Buried Toiteo
Town in Arizona.

Cushman's Discovery of Buried Tofteo
Town in Arizona.
Frank Cushman, of Zuni fame, has
been at work in Salt River Valley in
Arizona, about eighty miles northwest
of Tucson. making explorations, and
has succeeded in unearthing the ruins
of prehistoric city. A fortified tenn
pie was discovered, which no doubtwas
originally several stories high. and the
foundation was found to be imbedded
deep in the earth. The ruins showed
that the building had been built of SUM-
dried clay. The walls above the found
alton were not intact, but the ground
plan could be traced in every detail.
The architectural work displayed con-
siderable skill. There was number
of underground vaults found. and
when these were examined, skeletons
were discovered in them. From the
remains unearthed it was evident that
the building had been used as a sacred
temple. The city extended in various
directions. Over two hundred burial
vaults have been exhuped. Pottery
was taken out in latge quantities,
as we'll as stone axes, mortars,
stone pestles. and bone 9eedles. These
articles, according to TIE description
of the city, are well formed, and indi-
cate that the inhabitants were of more
intelligence than some of the prehis-
toric races. Remains of wheat, barley
and other grains were found in a
charred condition. Evidences of there
having been canal running through
the city were numerous, and that the
whole valley was under cultivation.
Mr.. Cushman is of the opinion that the
city must have had a population of at
least $4,000 people, and that the prin-
cipal pursuits was the cultivation of
the soil. 1t is thought that the people
of this buried city suffered from some
great calamity, such as that which be-
fell Pompeii. The calamity was an
earthquake, no doubt and thousands
were crushed beneath the falling walls.
Those who escaped moved south, and
it was their descendants whom the
Spaniards found in Mexico. Demor-
est's Monthly.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Some Pertinent Comments and Confessions
by One of Thenn

Some Pertinent Comments and Confessions
by One of Thenn
paid visit to neighboring farm
er's wife yesterday, and have been
haunted ever since by the remembrance
of her tired, care-worn face. This
woman has seven children, and she
not only does the sewing for all, but
she is frequently without help, and has
all the work to do, except the washing.
Is it any wonder she looks pale, and
that the children are neglected?
Her husband is what we call we'll
to-do man; owns his farm of several
hundred acres of good land; has SUBJ
stantial house. and makes good crops.
To save a little he boards his hands.
And this is what want to say: Why
should farmer board his hands, if he
is unable, and. alas. often unwilling.
to get help sufficient to keep the wife and
mother from being overburdened? He
will tell you it saves money. All, Mir.
Farmer and so it would save money
if you would discharge your chore-boy
and do all the milking yourself, but
how would you like it?
Every farmer receives great deal
at the hands of his wife. He owes as
much to her thrift and good manage
ment as he does to his own. What
other woman stays at home and de-
votes herself so entirely to her hus-
bands interests as the farmers wife?
While the wives of the mechanic, the
s.butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker" are out enjoying themselves in
the afternoon, the farmers wife is
home at work. The milk must be
SKINNED, the poultry fed and supper
cooked for lot of hungry men. But
look to yourselves, farmers wives!
Assert your rights. Remember if you
are mothers, your highest duty is to
your children. You must have time
for them. Don't do all that you think
you ought to do, but just what you are
able to do, leaving little time for
recreation. There are some farmers
wives whose lines are cast in pleasant
places. These have married thought
full, unselfsh men (there are some)
who look well to the comfort Of their
household, and have things convenient
and kept in order.-Cor. Country Gen.

JESSIE MORTON.

Jessie Morton, fair and free;
Blythe as any bird was she;
Singing laughing, chatting brlght
Through the house from morn I'LL nIsn''
Never sharp unrest or smart
Troubled Jessie Morton's heart
Jessie Morton went to town
In a nice new hat and gown;
Thought how happy she would %
II her lover she should see
And the look of glad surprise
Kindling in his dark brown eyes,
But when Jessie Morton came
What pity! what shame!
As she met him in the church
He went off with Lucy Perch;
'Coolly nodded and was gone,
Left her standing there alone.
Sadder, wiser, home she went,
On a single thous.ht intent;
She would send his gifts to town
Ere the evening sun went down.
For between them love was Ger;
She would trust him never more.
Willie King was sore distressed,
For he did love Jessie best.
Lucy Perch was but doll!
Jessie was his all in all,
And he wondered what to do;
How TO prove that he was true.
Jessie could not quite forget
Though at heart she loved him yet,
She withheld all kindly grace,
Wonld NOT even sec his face
All his letters were returned,
Though TO read them much she yearneo.
Willie King fell i'll at last,
Very i'll and sinking fast.
Lucy Perch was filled with fear
For herself-and ne'er drew near;
Jessie Morton, when she heard,
Quickly came without word;
Nursed him with tender care
While he lay SO helpless there.
All her love to him she brought;
All his error she forgot;
Coaxed him gently back to life;
Promised she would be his wife.
Time went on, and Jessie knew
Willie was both fond and true;
And he never gave her pain
BY a thoughtless deed again.
Love is love, and hard to die;
But beWarei beware! say l.

CONTINUATION Cured.

An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an East
India missionary the formula of a simple
vegetable remedy for the speedy aud per-
manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma and all Throat and Lung
affections, also positive and radical cure
for Nervous Debility and all nervous Conn
plants, after having tested its wonderful
curative powers in thousands OF cases, has
felt it his duty to make it known TO his suf-
fering fellows. Actuated by this motive
and a desire to relieve human suffering, I
will send free of charge, to all who desire
il, this recipe in German, French or Eng
lish, with full directions for preparing and
using. Sent by mail by addressing with

WASHINGTON, D. O., February 5.-Lspe-
cial. The Lowry White contest is under
discussion in the House, and under the
order will require several days before q
final decision will be rendered. 1t is not
denied by Judge Lowry that Mr.. White
received a majority OF the votes OF the dis
trict, but il is claimed that he was not q
naturalized citizen of this country for sew
en- years, as provided in the constitution OF
the United States. Captain White was not
able 10 show recorded evidence OF his
naturalization, and not very satisfactory
oral testimony, and the fact that he lett
Allen county a few days before the cleo
ton and went TO Kosciusko to take out
naturalization papers, has been taken as an
admission on the part of Captain White
that he was not certain himself about being
an American citizen. From what your
correspondent can learn from Repu olican
members of Congress, thew will act, TO a
man, in sustaining Mr.. White. They re-
gard il party matter and have entirely
abandoned the legal question involved.

Now, who is the peoples friend? Is it
the Executive in the White House, who
advises and urges a reduction OF these
shameful taxes, or the man who resists
such reductions and tries to persuade tax
ridden people TO go on paying them, not
for the behefit of the Treasury and Nation,
but for the sole benefit of bloated home
monopolies? Again be it known, under
s,ood, and proc aimed.that, t4r.trom desir-
ing to put any OF the goods named in the

the free list, all that tariff reform asks is
simply a reduction of these enormous taxes
that are oppressive and uni ust. For my
part would feel perfectly satisfied to see
these articles reduced in duty not to less
than 10 per cent.
Well may the President leave this Issue
to the people. Well may tariff reformers
laugh at the shrieks of tariff monopoly
advocates, that 40 per cent. duty means,
and to all intents and purposes is, free
trade. The people of this country are all at

Tho white Caps Again.

ENGLISH, February An indefinite re-
port reached this city yesterday Of most
dastardly outrage by White Caps COM
mitted last night near Marengo, era wford
County. Ind. In that locality reside
Thomas Williams and wife, who were sub
jected last year to great indignities, SO it is
said, at the hands OF the White Caps. at
the time WNliams claimed to have recog.
nized among the assailants prominent
young man, Thomas Courtney, the son of
one OF the leading physicians OF the county.
He Immediately sought the arrest OF Court
ney, who, fearing trouble, LEFT for parts
unknown. Nothing further was heard of
the young man until recently, when he
was located at Fort Scott, Kan, and ar
rested, and under a requlsition from Gov
ernor Gray he is being brought back. This
news enrsged the young man 9 friends, and
they wreaked vengeance on Williams.
The report says they went TO his house
last night and, being refused admittance,
broke down the door. Williams fred into
the CROWD, wounding couOle. The mob
then tied him to q tree. Upon Williams
refusal to make a sworn statement exoner-
ating young Courtney of future charges,
they hogged him until he became un-
conscious, and then left. Their victim was
later found in dying condition. The
circumstance is said to have aroused the
entire section of the country, where a very
strong feeling has sprung up against the
repeated outrages of the White Caps. 1t
will certainly sggravate the feeling against
young Courtney, who will arrive at Leav.
