Another DAY broke and Duke Lee


called.
Helena ran to him, and then sudden
ly stopped. How grave he was. He
had not been SO grave last night. She
held out her two hands to him.
And he took them-yes, he took
them and held them in his firm clasp.
But he looked straight into her glad
eyes, and his were so grave with sad
ness, that, perforce, the tears rose to
hers.
"What is it Duke? Not-father did
not say no? Oh, he knows you so WE'LL"
my lowell have learned something
4 ought never to have spoken. We
must say good bye, Helena, and /
must pray all my life that you may for
get me and those words of mine last
night.n
He had begun with hesitation, but as
he went on IA strange firmness and a
manner of naughty pride came on and
conquered all tenderness.
II don't understand she gasped.
~ am a poor man, Helena. Where
is my honor If ], being penniless, seek
to wed the heiress of Stavely Holt?
Last night knew nothing of this will,
that has been so strangely found. Do
you think it makes no difference?n-
That pride of his was making him
hard. 1t would have been better had
his love been less; it would not then
have called for so strong control.
"Difference?-what difference?n puz-
zled the girl. II quite forgot to tell you
last night. Had l not better things to
think OPP
"Do not speak like that, Helena. Is
your love nothing to me? See with
my eyes, Helena-see! What would
you say? What would the world say
if it heard that young Lee had thought
fit to propose to Miss Bailey, of Stavely
Holt?'
"And this is lovew she cried. "This
is your love, Duke-yours, who
thought the noblest man in all the
world! Duke! Duke!" She ended
with little cry.
Her momentary passion of pride was
over. His pride, determined purpose
of pride, was broken, too. He could
only take the hands she held out, inn
ploringly-he could only make his love
console her,

q la mode. He had promised youth
full maiden to gather them sweet and
full, and perchance he might have done
so except for a farmers bull, which
suddenly came upon him while he
warbled love-lorn lay, and without SO
much as a single thought he made for
the broad highway; he did his best as
runner, and jumped with quicken'd
sense, but in spite of speed or agility,
he was hoisted over the fence. He was
torn by brier and bramble, he was
lam ed and bruised and sprained; then
st. Jacobs Oil was well rubbed on, and
his former self regained. He betook
himself to his lady fair to offer ready
plea. She heard the joke and simply
said, "You're daisy enough for me.n

remedy when 1t cures pains and bruises.

A Word


Now and then spoken in sim
cerity never comes amiss. 1t
is the ambition of.every mer-
chant or business man to In
crease the volume of his trade
from year to year, and in order
to do this he must study closely
the wants of his patrons. First,
he must have goods suitabl e to
all classes of trade. Second, he
must have a large variety OF
each class, and third, he must
give the best possible values
for the money paid him. There
NAV be claimed to be the three
leading attributes of the sue
cessful merchant. Then the
question for the purchaser to
decide is: Who Of all engaged
in trade in my own town and
county make these attributes a
leading afiliation in their busi
ness?
In the first, Saur & Balsley
aim to carry a stock suitable to
all classes of trade, the poor as

All! there, business Holgate and Mcclure
come to the front this week. Five new
Poga this week. Eddie Dow halls from
Holgate, he is a smart, vivacious little fell
low about seven years old. In this case the
father and mother have parted, (too bad), he
was left by his father at DR.. Beckers, where
he has been residing for the last seven
months. The doctor seems to have thought
a great deal of the little fellow, but the
doctors adopted daughter, Phoebe Hill, few
up in the traces and would not allow him to
stay with them any longer, too smart. Henry
Roddy and wife, of Mcclure, he was born
away back in 1902, he is unable to provide
for himself on account of his great age. He
is the oldest man i'll the Poga. He has
a son to whom he gavetwenty acres
of good land, on condition that he
would take care of him through his declin-
ing years. The said son has never lived up
to his agreement, having never given him
| any support rs per agreement, at least
this is the statement made to us by his
father. The old folks complain of great
deal of hardship received at the hands of the
children. The property given is in
Freedom township, son traded this off to
Gov. Scott, and bought another piece of the
Governor one mile and half west of
Hamler. He took the old folks to his home
in Freedom shortly before Christmas, but
becoming dissatisfied, moved them back to
Mcclure, told the old folks to 90 in and
make fire while he found place for his
team, skipped out and the old folks have
not seen him since. We will now give few
| pointers to those that have beat this old man
out of bis property.
The primary elements of contract, are the
contract, the consideration, the agreement
the parties, the consent and the time, so says
Story. Now the consideration for the pro.
perry was the support of these folks during
their natural lives, unless this consideration
is fulfilled. it makes no difference through
how may hands this 20 acres has passed, be-
ing fraudulently obtained in the first
instance, your titles to the property can be
set aside, for contract without the fulfill
ment of the consideration is absolutely void
1t is so held by the Courts, so you see, that
this man may at any time have set aside any
and all conyeyances and regain his property

Mountain Climbing for InyalIds.

Oertel has extended his advocacy Of
mountain climbing, as o curative agency,
to other forms Of heart disease besides
such as are dependent upon or associated
with corpulency-namely, to all forms OF
"weak heart" and also to yalvular de-
fects. For this purpose ho prefers re-
sorts surrounded by mountains, on the
sides Of which graduated walks, Of in.
creasing difficulty. and extending up to
between three thousand and four thou

no means matter Of Indifference how

Then the pace and the breathing must,

Professor Asa Gray observed that tho
reason which lies at the bottom Of the
general belief on the continent of Europe
that lightning strikes the Lombardy pop
lar trees In preference to others is coming
to light. Green herbage and green wood
-sappy wood-are excellent conductors
of electricity. A tree Is shattered by
lightning only when the discharge reaches
the naked trunk or naked branches, which
are poorer conductors. An old fashioned
Lombardy poplar. by its height. by its
complete covering Of twigs and small
branches, and their foliage, down almost
to the ground. and by It's sappy wood.
makes q capital lightning rod. and q cheap
one. Happily no one can patent 1t and
bring 1t round in wagon and insist upon
trying it. To make 1t surer the tree
should stand In moist ground or near
water, for wet ground is good conductor
and dry soil a poor one. 1t is recon-
mended to plant Lombardy poplar near
the house and another close to the barn.
II the ground Is dry the nearer the well
the better. except for the nuisance Of tho
roots that will get into it.-Boston Budget.

Bicycles for English Soldiers.

The bicycle force that has been organ
lied In connection with the English vol
unteers recently had its second field ma
neuvers, the first having been held at
Easter. Rainy and disagreeable weather
embarrassed the troops on each OF these
dates, but the result of the turnout has
been very satisfactory. On the recent
trials the men covered about 100 miles in
forty eight hours, fighting. scouting and
camping by the way. There were seven
teen officers and seventy seven men out,
made up Of representatives Of number
Of the leading volunteer regiments.
The force was divided into two bodies,
one rstreating and the other following it.
At frequent intervals the retreating force
made stands at bridges and other eligible
points Of defense, and the pursuers were
compelled to halt, disnount, send out q
skirmish line and perform all the other
preliminaries of attack. as though In
active war. It was found that two or
three men left behind by the retreating
bridge that would greatly delay the ad-
vance Of pursuing force, and then could
mount and swiftly ride away under cover
Of hedge and escape to the main body.
This ability to fight and run away with
greater facility than the ordinary infan-
tryman is one Of the chief points urged
by the bicyclers in favor of the new
"arm." u Is said that scouting and re-
considering parties mounted upon bicy.
cles could do much more effective work
without risk Of capture than men on foot.
In these maneuyers, although the re-
treating force numbered but three officers
and twelve men. they succeeded In delay.

Using second Hand Tin Cans.

Economy may be the secret Of wealth,
but there are cases where II does not pay
TO economize too closely. A method Is In
use, and has been recently patented, Of
using again old tin cans from which peas.
lobster. salmon and other edibles have
been removed. The practice may prove o
pernicious ono. and the cans should be
relegated to the furnace and rolling mill
before being again used for canning food.
At best. cans are never preserved, after
the food has been removed, IN very
clean condition. to say tho least, and tho
acid contained In tho food often causes
poisonous compounds. when combined
with oxygen Of tho atmosphere.
The old cans are, II Is stated, collected
In tho ''revamping" establishment. the
damaged top removed, and the cans
thoroughly cieansed. II this statement
be true. there may be no objection from q
sanitary point OF view, but II Is doubtful
II cans can DO cleaned short Of removing
tho entire coating Of moro or less oxidized
tin coating with which they are covered,
thus leaving some of the poisonous mat
ter to contsminate the next food placed
IN the can.
After cleansing. tho old bottom Is

"A young railroad man Of Atlanta has

is simply this: The purchaser Of an IRON
clad ticket is not to be required to write
his name or make any formal declaration

Nothing Of the kind. The agent who
sells tho low rate round trip points his
little camera at you while he gives you
