When the Twin Sisters, Queens Of

"They're twins, you know, because
they're nearly the same age. The pret-
tiest isn't so good as the other. That's
why she's the incest, SO she can make it
up by showing off,"
just here the little girl, who had not
uttered sound since she came into the
building, burst into a roar of crying, fol-
lowed by scream Of "Oh, he's dead!
He's dead!" as she gazed with horror in
her two big eyes on "Johnnie Purvis

mother tried to reassure her, and not

until he was away on his third
trip, II was an afternoon, cold and dis
agreeable, in the month Of January. A
strange feeling came over me. My old
est daughter had married and her hus-
band was in the union army. For three
days l have no recollection Of either
eating or sleeping. / could think Of
nothing but my husband and son-in-law.
Our stock died from cold and exposure
and want of something TO eat, and we
were in actual danger Of the same fate.
But even these misfortunes could not
drive from my mind the idea that some
thing had befallen the absent ones.
And there had. The very afternoon
3hat the strange feeling had come over
me my son-in-law was severely wounded
and was left three days uncared for on
the battlefield. Six weeks later my
husband returned, and in telling me his
experience l found that during the
three days Of my uneasiness he had been
lost, and in a ablinding snowstorm among
tho Rocky mountain.

A Queer Experience.

Cincinnati Enquirer: In the year
1862 my husband thought the short
route to wealth was by the way of Kan
sas, and we left our snug little home in
Ohio and departed for the Sunhower
state. What the hardships OF the set
tiers OF those days were is we'll known
by readers OF history. After trying
various ways to make living, my hus-
band contracted with the government
to haul freight from Leavenworth to
Denver and Santa Fe. Oxen were used
and he made but two trips year. The
indians in those days were numerous
and hostile, and many OF the whites who
inhabited the plains during those years
were more to be feared than the red
men. l never felt as much
uneasiness as I think now
would have been but natural

Peace on Earth

Awaits that countless army OF martyrs,
whose ranks are constantly recruited
from the victims of nervousness and
nervous diseases. The price of the boon is
systematic course of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, the finest and most genial
of tonic nervines, pursued with reason
able persistence. Easier, pleasanter and
safer this than to swash the victuallins
department with pseudo-tonics, alco-
hollc or the reverse, beef extracts, nerve
foods, narcotics. sedatives and poisons in
disguise. "Tired Natures sweet restorer,
balmy Sleep" is the providential recu-
perant of weak nerves, and this glo-
lrous franchise being usually the conse-
quences of sound digestion and in
creased vigor, the great stomachic which
insures both, is productive also of re-
pose at the required time. Not unre-
freshed awakens the individual who
uses it, but vigorous, clear headed and
tranquil. Use the Bitters also in fever
and ague, rheumatism, kidney troubles,
constipation and billiousness.

The Michigan Centrars Niagara.

The Michigan Central does not as
sumo the ownership of Niagara Falls,
but it does offer to its passengers from
its station at Falls View, the grandest
and most comprehensive spectacle that
the great cataract affords. 1t is the
only road that runs directly by tho
falls, and from this point all parts OF the
cataract, the angry rapids above and the
boiling caldron below, are in full view.
At this season, when the cliffs are hung
with gigantic icicles, and the trees and
shrubbery covered with curious forma
tiOns of frozen spray, the scene reaches,
in the language Of Bayard Taylor, "the
climax OF beauty"

JOHNNY" GOES TO THE CIRCUS
How He Made it Interesting For His
Mother.

MOtner.
New York Tribune: A small boy and
girl, with beaming faces, led by a neatly
dressed woman, who bore a look of un-
told anxiety, as if she had already
passed through deep waters in getting
them as far rs the door, entered the
winter circus yesterday. AS they ap-
preached the ticket chopper the boy
broke out into shrill yell:
"We passed the place where you pay,
ma. Come over here. How much have
we to pay? Let me buy!'
She nudged him to keep quiet and
pulled him along, but he would not be
put off, and had just broken out again:
"Ma, you can't get in for nothing"-
when she passed in her tickets (compli-
mentary ones), and hurried them
through with gasp of relief and some-
thing resembling a smile on her tired
face.
MA, how'd you get in for nothing?"
Hush, can't you? Look at that man
in the tank"
What's he doing, taking bath?"
''That's the diver"
"What's diver? What does he do
| it for? What's his name? Could you
do that? Could my dog do that? He
can swim. You told me you went in a
tank when you were baptized. Is he a
Baptist"
''Do be quiet and listen to what the
man says"
The diver shows the watch which he
takes down with him, uninjured by inn
mersion, and says it must be water
bury"
"What does he call it Waterbury

A Peru Suicide.

Mrs. Steinbach, wife of a Peruvian laborer,

night after suffering hours of terrible agony.
The deed was the result Of giving free

appears to have been endowed in q mark ed

The husband was employed in laying
stone walks, and remained at home in the
morning on account Of the rain. According
to the husbands testimony at the inquest,
they spent the morning pleasantly, and
be expected to work in the afternoon. He
did not wait for dinner, as it was nearly one
o'clock, but hurried down town, only to find
that there was nothing for him to do. On his
return, instead of going directly home, he
went into a neighboring saloon and filed
himself with beer, remaining until about 4
O. clock. He then went home, and found his
wife seated in chair, apparently very ILL.,.
He ran for a physician, and although every
expedient was resorted to, the poison had
done its work and death was inevitable.
She was twenty-five years old, and had
been married but two years. The probable
cause of the action is that she saw her bus
band lettering in the saloon and became so
enraged that she preferred death to living

Obituary.

John H. Druitt lie dead. The loving and
loved son, husband, father, frierd, passed
through the shadows of the great dark
valley.
Born in the city of history and history
makers, Boston, in 1874, his early life was
spent among the influences of cultured New
England. He came to this city, with his
parents, nearly thirty years ago, and when
the great civil war called brave men to de-
fend his country in an hour Of darkness, he
responded to her call with the proffer Of his
life. Serving with honor on the field, he
returned north after the close Of the strug.
gle and entered the University Of Michigan,
from whose doors he emerged with credit to
himself in 1872. Choosing for his profession
in life the law, he read in the Office of Samuel
Nicholson, and after his admission to the
bar became member of the firm of Bush :
nell & Drutt. Several years of lucrative
practice rewarded his patience and persever.
ence. Later he removed to Butler, Bates
county, Mo-, where he became prominent in
his profession. When three years Of pros
porous life had ended, he again returned to
this city and opened an Office. But death
had already placed upon his brow the mark
of his choice, and he was stricken down with
q terrible attack of hemorrhage of the lungs.
With rare degree Of fortitude and patience,
he bsttled death with calm and undying
hope, and though left with but a shadowy
remnant of once unbending constitution,
he still lived in the hope of an ultimate
recovery, only to succumb while still in the
prime Of life's years, leaving wife and one
son.
The Bar Of this city, among whom he was
held in high esteem, met on Thursday morn
ing to adopt resolutions to his memory, and
in the afternoon followed his remains to the
grave. Rev. Warren F. Day conducted the
funeral services.

Bi,,y's Second ATTEMPT.

wm. Bauer the Madison street saloon
keeper. while suffering from celebral disor'
der, made an attempt 10 commit suicide on
Tuesday afternoon. He had risen at the
usual hour and entered his saloon ABOUT
half past eight, remaining behind the bar
until nine. He complained TO several, who
dropped in lot morning nip, of having
pains in his head and right side, and at nine
clock went over TO a meat market to place
his daily order. After this episode Billy
remembers nothing until he returns TO con.
seriousness late in the evening
Nothing out of ordinary was noticed in
his movements during the day, and his &C,
tons excited no comment until about four
clock in the afternoon, when he was seen
by brick yard laborers to jump into the canal
near Brickton. Several witnessed the ACT
and hurried to his rescue and he was drawn
out upon the bank and the police notified
the rescuers being under the impression that
he was dead. He was placed in the patrol
wagon and taken to his residence on Colum
bus street, where he lay in an unconscious
condition for several hours. He is very
weak still.
His friends have noticed for some time
past that he has been INDUCING in very
bad case of blues, occasioned, may be, by a
possible decrease of business. He seems to
be man to give way easily to dependency
but he claims to have been utterly uncon-
scious of any act committed after the early
hours of the morning.
