I can't" was her sorrowful cry. "Why didn't God kill me, and not leave me like this?"
 She almost broke her mothers heart by her repinings and wretchedness. For two years this lasted.
 "You must try to be more recon- ciled,' friend of the family said to her one day, "you are killing your poor mother"
 This made her thoughtful. That afternoon she watched her mother more closely. How pale and thin she looked, and how white her hair was growing she thought with a pang. Amelia lay quiet long time. Fin ally she called softly, "mother ~
 Mrs. Jones went to her bedside.
 Amelia put her arms about her mother, and said, "1'm not going to be so unhappy any more. I've got you and dear father left, and let's try and make the best of my misfortune" ]"
 From that day no one ever heard 8 word of complaint or repining if the old rebellious feelings came, she kept them locked in her own breast.
 But her cup of sorrow was not yet full. Within five years she was fatherless and motherless, alone in the world. She continued to live at her old home with one faithful servant. She was not rich, but had enough in- come for herself and the one servant with no extravagances.
 From these afflictions Saint Jones was born. For some years past the village people had called her that, and if ever woman merited it, she did. She is not great, nor is she very learned, nor does she write books, nor do anything to distinguish herself among the great names of our coun- try but for sweet, womanly infiu- ence and patient performance of duty with self-abnegation she is truly "Saint" Jones.

A Hint to Young Authors.
Detroit Free Press.

If veteran writers would only be good enough to tell of the methods by which they first gained their hold on the public, they would confer a boon upon the younger members of the quill who are still struggling for recognition. Nothing is so interest ing or so useful to the beginner as the particulars of how others in the same line Of business began to attain success. A young financier reads eagerly about the good peddling days of Jay Gould, or the accounts of the time Wander bilt had as crew of a sloop.
 In England the veteran authors have done something for their younger brethren by forming an association that is to guard the juniors from the wiles of the crafty publisher. But even if the publisher he as willin' as Bdrkis, there is still the public to get at, and that is after all the great point in the success of young author.
 James Russell Lowell, with the kindness that is characteristic of him, has recently told how he earned the everlasting gratitude of the reading public and at the same time made his book pay-a thing, by the way, that first books are not generally in the habit of doing. He had his first edi- tion heavily insured, and it was just his luck that the publishers building burned down the day after the insur- ance was effected instead of the day after it had expired, as is frequently the case.
 There is 8 great moral lesson in this. The public never forgets man whose first book is given to the flames. They would be an ungrateful people if they did.
 Just imagine how thankful we would have been to Rider Haggard if he had burned-not only his first book-but the greater number of those which followed.
 Therefore, young authors and poets, burn your first books. You may not be able to collect the insurance on them, but you will be sure, at least, of our eternal gratitude.

What Cured Him.
Exchange

The influence of the mind on dis ease is very great. In the case of a chronic invalid the whole system, mental and physical, gets into & groove; and frequently recovery is hastened, if, in some way, the system can be logged out of its groove, and a belief inculcated that the disease can and will be cured.
 A laughable illustration of what might perhaps be termed a "faith cure" is found in the following anec- dote: A certain patient had rheu- matic pains, which the doctor thought would be relieved by nitrate of pot ash" The patient took the medicine for some time, but was not much ben- efitted, and asked for another remedy, which the doctor prescribed. Then a few days after the doctor met him and asked after his health.
 "Oh, Pm getting well, doctor" was the reply; "but 'tain't your medicine. l tried that for some time. till a neighbor told me of something he took for his rheumatism-a very sim- pie remedy. I tried it, and it's done me great deal of good"
 hat is it?" said the doctor.
 "Oh, it's so simple Pm afraid you'll laugh at me if tell you."
 The doctor promised to control his risibles, and the patient, after much urging, informed him that it was "saltpeter." The doctor was not true to his promise, as he laughed heartily, and told the astonished patient that nitrate Of potash" was the chemical name of substance known to com- merce as ''saltpeter."

Wrtne7s for The Arkansdw TrGUeEer. LINES TO A WOUNDED BIRD.
BY CHARLES EUGENE BANKS.

Poor little warbler! harmless thing That, late on buoyant, sportiye wing, High up among the clouds did'st sing
 Thy glad refrain, Now helpless at my feet you fling,
 X slave to pam. Thy voice that erst so full and clear Was wont my lonely heart to cheer, Now shrill with pain and trembling fear
 Cheering no more Wins for itself but pity's tear,
 And grieves me sore. Ahl sad thy fatei No more wilt thou At breaking morn, from swaying bough, Pour forth thy gladsome strain but now
 With heart of lead, Among the weeds must creep and COW
 In fear and dread. Fen thus the mortal who has found Thee, blasted by a cruel wound, Gropes ever darkly round and round,
 With mind untaught, To strive with many useless bound
 A flight of thought. So must he ever panting lie, Far, far below hope's glowing sky, To which he fain would quickly fly
 In loving trust, But ever with a feeble cry
 Falls in the dust.

A Prominent Merchant in Trouble.

Old money bags mopes in his office all day, As snappish and cross as & bear; The clerks know enough to keep out of his
 way,
 Lest the merchant should grumble and
 swear. Even Tabby, the cat, is in fear of & cuff, Or kick, if she ventures too near; They all know the master is apt to be rough, And his freaks unexpected and queer. What makes the old fellow so surly and grim, And behave so confoundedly mean? There's certainly something the matter with
 him
 Is II stomach, or liver, or spleens We've guessed it-his liver is sluggish and
 bad
 His blood is disordered and foul. It's enough to make any one hopelessly mad, And greet his best friend with growi.
 The worldwide remedy, pr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, will cor rect a disordered liver and purify the blood, tone your system and build up your flesh and strength.

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucou 8 membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. The medical profes- sion has been slow to learn this. Noth- ing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders, syringes, astringents, or any similar application, because they are all irri- tating, do not thoroughly reach the affected surfaces, and should be abandoned as worse than failures. A multitude of persons who have for years borne all the worry and pair that catarrh can infiict, testify to rad ical and permanent cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.

A revivifying of natures latent forces occurs every spring. At this time, better than at any other, the blood may be cleansed from the hu- mors which infest it. The best and most popular remedy to use for this purpose is Ayers Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla.

The Tired Feeling

Affiicts nearly every one in the spring. The sy stem having become accustomed to the bracing air of winter, is weak ened by the warm days of the chang ing season, and readily yields to attacks of disease. Hoods Sarsapa- rilla is just the medicine needed. It tones and builds up every part of the body, and also expels all impurities from the blood. Try it this season.

A DETECTIVES THEORY.
ae Thinks Pail DAILY Was Shot by AddIe
stnntnn Throngh JenIoasY.


stanton Through Jealossy.
NEW YORK, Dec. IA theory of the
shooting Of Gambler Phil Daily ia demi
mondain's room at No. 400 Fourth avenue,
Monday afternoon, which is at least plausi-
ble, was that of adjective who refused 70
permit publication Of his name
Il think, he said, "that Addio Stanton shot
the big fellow. don't believe there was an
other man about the place when the shot was
fired. Phil is pretty fly, and he realized nt
once that he would have 20 invent some
story that would satisfy his friends and
he concocted the story Of tho badger game
Had there been two male murderers in the
case the follows wouldn't hnve becn such
suckers as to lot Phil get away alive with all
his wealth about him after once having shot
him. Neither would they have boen smart
enough to got away by the fire escape n the
rear Of the house. In their hurry % get
away they would have gone down the front
stairs. None Of the neighbors admit that
any strange men got out Of the yard through
their premises ! think tke Stanton woman
shot Phil from jealousy or some other motive
that only she and Phil know
Capt Reilly, on the other hand, said that
the police knew who the men were who shot
DAILY, but that Is all he would say.
Superintendent Murray said that tho hnd-
ger aud panel games are essentially the same,
and that Phil DAILY was not the victim Of the
badger game, for the sufficient reason that
the trap into which DAILY fell was not a bad
ger trap.
The explanation Of the disappearance Of
the men who figured in the episode is that
they got out Of a rear window into tho court
behind the house, and made their escape by
passing through the entry Of one Of the adj
joining houses that front ON Fourth avenue

All Denominations Discussing How IL
May BE Improved.

NEw York, Dec. 5-ln the absence of
John d. slayhack William e. Dodge pre-
sided at the second days session Of the Chris
tian conference at Chickering hall. The
Rev. Vincent Piseck, pastor Of a Bohemian
mission church, was The first speaker He
said that the $1,000 Bohemans in this city
were, contrary TO general assumption,
peaceful lot well disposed toward church
and religion. But tho Bohemian colony was
cursed with the tenement house system Of
cigarmaking, prolific Of many evils. Once
fairly prosperous, IL had within recent years
suffered prlYation and want
The Rev Antonio Arrighi, minister Of the
Italian chapel at the Five Points House OF
Industry, urged the necessity Of educating
his couutrymen, who come here without evil
intention, but donsely ignorant of the nature
OF free institutions They must be reached
by personal effort or not at all
Rev. H. a. Monroe lcoloredl spoke kindly
OF Catholic church that had REINFORCED
the three Protestant places Of worship in
striving with the tough colored element in
Thompson street. About 1900 Of the $1,000
negroes in tho city attended church, ho said,
and their nine churches were filled every
sabbath night But the Sunday school work
was lehind, and workers were badly needed
DR.. Macarthur. Of the Calvary Baptist
church, thought it was the duty Of the COM
muaity TO receive the immigrants, but TO
insist that they must stay rs Americans
They should be brought into the churches
lie thought little of mission churches The
bast churches were none too good for the
poorest, and they should be always open.
AT the evening session the Rev. Richard
Hartley presented the results of nineteen
years of work Of the Baptist city mission.
Beginning with an annual collection Of
$1,000, high water mark was reached last
year when $4,000 was collected. Sixteen
churches had been built with tho money.
Before Now Years day four new Baptist
churches viii be opened in New York
Archdeaeon Alexander Mackay Smith re
viewed the field Of usefulness Of the sixty-one
Episcopal parishes Twenty-Five Of the
churches are free yet their attendance is not
nearly up TO the mark The speaker found
that the Sunday newspaper and long and
tedious Sunday services were the principal
causes Of the non-church going evil, and rec
commended sanctitied common sense as a
remedy.
Everett p Wheeler, president Of the
Church club, urged the necessity Of lay eo-
operation, the lack Of which the archdeacon
had deplored. In it he found the solution of
the problem now puzzlng the churches.
