supper WIS JUST onuou III INF. ChLup-
sons home. It had not been a pleasant
meal. Baby had cried for cake; Lenny
had upset his mug of milk, and been
sharply reproved by his father; the room
did not wear cheerful look, as seen by
the one burner of the chandelier, and Mr..
Sampson shivered as he arose from the
table.
"Why don't you have fire in the CRATE,
Jenny?" he asked impatiently.
"I thought it best not to make litter"
Mrs. Sampson replied. "The room is
comfortable when the kitchen door is
open"
Mr.. Sampson lighted a cigar, and his
remark about misdirected economy"
muttered between whiffs Of smoke, was
not heard by his wife. He went out into
the dark hall, and the street door soon
closed IL manner that indicated the rnf-
fed temper of the master of the house.
The table was soon cleared, and the
children gathered around with books and
toys.
"Can't we have more light, mother?"
asked Lilly. "The words are very small
on this map"
Mrs. Sampson replied by turning the
burner slightly, and soon after left the
room with little Harry. Her evenings
were seldom spent with the children.
Harry must be coaxed to sleep, and the
somewhat lengthy process usually pro-
duced drowsiness, to which she yielded.
She had not slept long, however, when
the unusual sound of the door-bell swak-
ened her. She heard Mary open the door,
and recognized the voice that inquired
for her.
at is Uncle Otis. I wish Tom were at
home," she said, as she hastily prepared
to go to her visitor.
Meanwhile Captain Otis had followed
the girl through the hall, lighted only by
glimmer that came from the half-open-
ed door in the rear. The children had
stopped their noisy game at the sound of
the bell, but failed to recognize their Wis
itor, for Captain Otis had not been a
frequent guest at the house OF his niece.
He had scarcely time to notice the disor-
derby appearance of the room before
Mrs. Sampson entered. Her cordial greet.
ing, and the light from an additional
burner of the chandelier failed to remove
the cheerlessness that oppressed him.
Tom was not in he was told; and it
was not until the children had retired
that he asked particularly for the father.
"What keeps Tom out so late? He
surely can't have business at this hour,"
he said.
"He is at his club" replied Mrs. Samp-
som. HE is seldom at home in the even
ing"
Tom at a clubl" repeated Captain
Otis. "Why does he go to clrb?"
al really can't say" replied Toms
wife. He seems to enjoy it more than
his home"
Captain Otis said no more, and another
half hour passed before his nephew's step
was heard in the hall.
II do wish you'd keep this hall lighted,
Jenny" he called, as he stumbled over
his visitors valise 81 shall break my
neck here some night"
Captain Otis scarcely recognized the
impatient voice, so unlike the cheerful
tones he had once known; but there was
no mistake in the cordial greeting of his

THE CROSS OF ICE.
BY E. @. ID. HOLDEN.

Upon my study table, high,
A lofty mountain stands;
Pictured by one who saw it thus,
In our far Western lands;
And marked as never mountain was
By any hu man hands.
Far up toward the changing clouds,
This mentor, without price
May all the year, alike be seen,
Of hottest device;
Forever clinging to the mount,
A brilliant Cross of Ice.
1 do not know, that ever man,
Has scaled this mountain crest,
Or that its many wild ravines
A human foot has pressed;
And yet the symbol pictured there
Is rife with blessed rest.
look upon it, with no thought,
That it is cold and chill;
1t spreads a beauty DER the mount
So holy and so still;
And breathes, so like benson,
Upon the giant hill.
The hunter, weary from the chase,
Upon the valley wide,
Sees it afar, and thoughts of home
Come nesting to his side,
While gazing on the rugged mount
Thus doubly deified.
The traveller on the express
Notes where this symbol dwells;
And from the jagged mountain peak
He hears voice, that tells,
The story of some home.loved spire,
With music in its bells.
And the poor Redman of the plain,
Who comes the scene across,
Halts In the presence of The shrine,
While thoughts his soul engross
Of some old Jesuitical tale,
About The Holy Cross.
Oh, holy mountain of the Vest
Thou dwellest not alone;
The glacial beauty resting there
Cannot be all thine own,
For the dear symbol on thy breast
Belongs to every zonel

OUT FROM OUR GARDEN A BIOS
SOM is LOST.

Out from our garden blossom is lost,
One little pansy is touched by the frostl
Low in the dust lies the fair golden head,
Swelling the ranks of the beautiful dead.
Eyes that have loved her will many times see
The place where the dear little form used to
be;
And lips that have kissed her will tenderly say
One little blossom is missing to-dayl
o blest be the faith which has taught US to say
That fair in the dear Fathers garden to-day,
She is blooming in beauty 'mong earth's loved
and lost,
Never az ain to be touched by the frost.

HER LEGS ALL RIGHT.

Joe Raycraft Makes q Great
| Cure Of Sadie q.
| Nearly a year ago at Pizen Switch
in a horse race Sadie C. the fastest
mile mare In Nevada was made the
victim of a put up Job by which a
jockey was fixed to lose the race.
The day before at Wabuska an
attempt had been made to pull the
mare but the gallant little animal
took the bit in her teeth and won.
AT Pizen Switch the sports tried
to recover their lost money and in
pulling the mare again, she was
steered into a barbed wire fence
and literally cut to pieces.
The jockey was thrown 60 feet IN
the air and the mares flesh hung
in shreds about her legs.
DIR. Trullenger the veterinary sur
geon decided that her injuries were
permanent and that she could new
er run another race.
Her owners were loath to lose so
valuable an animal and decided
that if she ever could be put on
her legs again, Joe Raycraft was
the man to do it.
He examined the mare and
made bargain "no cure, no pay'
and went to work.
She was a wretched sight when
brought to his stable last Winter,
but few DAYS ago she walked out
with as springy a step as ever and
her owners are delighted at the
cure effected by the skillful and
humane treatment of the wounded
mare.
Raycraft says that she is as fit
as ever to race and that he will
back her literally wherever she
chooses to run.
The jockey was laid up for sever
al months, and it was suggested to
Joe that he could cure him also,
but he said the man was not as
valuable as the horse and not
worth wasting medicine on.

Yesterday morning MIR. Johr

sity they could have it, and matters
Quoted down.

and returned to Carson with the
Sheriff. She told the following
story to an APPEAL reporter in the
afternoon:

SKIN DISEASES

vifulent malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family ply ST.
can, who attempted to cure it, but it spread
with almost incredible rapidly, until the low

the middle of his back down to mis- knees, was
one solid rash, ugly, painful, blOtched and
malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace
by day Finally, we were advised to try the

marvellous. In three or four weeks a com
