/ from the cars was pouring out in the
street like torrent, and in the crush I
was hustled about and at last stumbled
into the arms of q stout man mutfied in
an old army Overcoat. He held me away
from him by my arms. Then ne shook
me and said:
''Wnats the matter with you, Tom?
Ye amt drunk, be ye;'
There was something familiar in the
voice, and looking up | saw the homelv
face of Sam Jones, of Shandaken. before
me. Then came another shake, and this
time | came to myself again.
:'By George. Sam, I'm glad to see

Thawed and melted by steaming cup
of coffee, l told Sam all the sorrowful
story. How the children would be wait

Sam such as:

Under the cheerful influence of Sans
sympathy | soon regained my lost cOur-
age. He insisted that we should 90 to
the nearest grocery, where he picked out
the biggest turkey he could find. Then
there were two quarts of cranberries,
three big mince pies, a package of candy
for the children, a bunch of crisp celery,
and other things appropriate to Thanks
giving Day.
When Sam left me at the elevated
station he pressed S. bill into my hand,
despite my protests, with the remark:
''Now, you take it, old man. l got
good prices fur my truck this season.
Sides that | am only lending it to ye.
we've got to pay me every cent back"
With parting hand shake he disap-
peared. AS the train ratified along over
the shining rails I could see the lights of
the big bridge fading away behind me.
The river rushed below just as it had
done one brief hour before, but its turbid
waters had no fascination for me now.
| wish every man and woman who
reads this story could have seen the faces
of those three children as they stood at
the foot of the elevated station. My
arms were filled with bundles, and when
those three pairs of eyes gazed upon the
glorious sight what an infantile shout
went up! And how they danced with
glee! The eldest insisted that she could
carry the turkey, but she couldn't, it
was too heavy. But each one had to
carry a bundle. And SO, like a conquer

Oh, Valentine Day is well enough,
And Fourth of July is jolly.
And Christmas time is beautiful,
With its gifts and its wreaths Of holly
New Years calling is rather nice,
And Halloween sports are funny,
And MayDay party isn't bad,

Is when we all go to grandmamma's,
To a splendid big Thanksgiving!

The Private Soldiers Life.

In the German army 30 per cent. of
the deaths of the private soldiers are
from suicide. Last year, in the little
United States army of $4,000 men, the
government lost $250, 900 through deser-
ton. In Germany there is no escape by
desertion. The country is small, the
frontiers are thoroughly guarded. So the
unhappy private kills himself. In Amer
lea the unhappy private runs away.
One cause Is assigned for both. 1t IL
simply that they cannot endure the
brutal treatment they receive from their
superior officers Army discipline at
best does not foster the gentle Christian
graces. At its worst, according to those
who profess to know, 1t is a mild form
of Siberian exile. Young sprigs Of lieu
tenants leave West Point with very ex-
allied notions of their superiority to the
enlisted man. Youth Is ever more brutal
and violent than mature age, and it Is
the younger under officers who come di-
rectly in contact with the privates. At
Winchester, Va. a boy of 10 was tied
up by the thumbs by a drunken officer.
The officer went to sleep and left the boy
out in thunder storm all night. The
youth was an idiot and a cripple ever
after.
This tying up by the thumbs is still in
vogue in our army. So is bucking and
gagging. Cruel and unusual punish
ments have been removed by law from
our schools. They are still part of
army discipline. Then there are the me-
NAL services the private is often obliged
to perform for the officer, such rs the
duties of II body servant. which would
be gall and wormwood to the soul of
every free born man. The regiments Of
the United States army are never full.
The enlistment constantly going on in
the cities serves only to balance the de-
sertions

FOUR NEW STATES.
South Dakota, North Dakota, Mon

On February q, 1899, the President signed
the bill creating South Dakota, North Dako-

SOUTH DAKoTA.-Che great prairie state, to
which the St: Paul, Minneapolis Manitoba
railway has three main lines, reaching Ellen
Sioux Falls. Go to South Dakota via the St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway and
pass through st. Paul and Minneapolis en-
route.
NORTH DAKOTA.-There is grown the No.
hard Scotch fife wheat; whose healthful cli-
mate nurtures the most vigorous and brainy
raise more wheat, oats and barley than entire
states; the soil of whose fertile prairies is
richer than the valley of the Nile; where the
Turtle mountain, Minot and Devils lake land
districts invite the home seeker to secure
free home. Magnificent daily train service
to Fargo, Grafton, Devils Lake, Bottineau
and all other important places.
= Observation-Disclosures in its mines of pre-
clous metals; wealth In it's 100000 head of
live stock; profit in its fertile fields, produc-
ing larger yield Of crops than any other
inhabitant on earth; where prosperity is
universal; which has the best paid labor in
the world; g, balmy winter climate, caused
by warm winds from the Pacific. The St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway is the
only railroad passing through a continuous
agricultural country from st. Paul and Min
through the great reservation of 100000
acres of land, free to settlers, in the Milk
river valley. Wood, water and coal In album
dance; no irrigation required; the only line
passing through Great Falls, with its 1000 0O0
orse-power cataracts; immense coal veins,
and surrounding farming country of free
land; through Helena, the capital city and
commercial center of Montana, and Butte,
the richest mining camp on earth, to San
Francisco by the Columbia river valley,
Portland and Shasta Route, or Ogden, Utah,
to California points Remember this is the
only line running dining cars, sleeping cars
and free co1onist sleepers of it's own from st.
Paul and Minneapolis to Great Falls, Helena
and Butte. It is also the shortest line to
WAsHINGToN.-Thec country of tall timber,
indented by Puget Sound, the Mediterranean
of the Pacific. Do not forget that the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway is the
only line which offers choice of three routes
to the Pacific coast. The Manitoba Pacific
route is the only line by which passengers en-
route for Tacoma, Portland and San Frencisco
can pass through Fort Townsend and Seattle.
Free colonist sleepers run through without
change or delay. Distance to the Pacific
coast is same as by other lines, but prices of
tickets are five and ten dollars less. Take the
Seattle route.

The last Methodist general conference
established an order of deaconesses. It
Is religious sisterhood who live in
homes something on the plan of con-
vent, and spend their time in works of
charity and mercy. Two years proba-
ton and training are required before the
candidate is received into the full fell
lowship Of deaconesses. No candidate
Is accepted who is less than % years old.
1t is rather taken for granted that one
entering the sisterhood will spend her
life in the appointed work, though no
vows of celibacy are taken. A home has
been established in New York, where
the women receive the necessary pre-
liminary instruction. There are already
deaconesses homes in most of the larger
cities Of the Union.

A Sound Legal Opinion.

E. Bainbridge Munday Esq, County
Atty, Clay Co., Texas. says: "Have
used Electric Bitters with most happy
results. My; brother also was very
low with malarial fever and jaundice,
but was cured by timely use Of this
medicine. Am satisfied Electric Bit
tiers saved his life.n
Mr.. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
KY, adds like testimony, saying:
He positively believes he would have
died, had 1t not been for Electric Bit
tiers.

Trust Stocks.

The industrial syndicates have had a
curious effect on Wall street and the va
rious stock, exchanges of the country.
They have given rise to new opportuni-
ties for stock gambling. Shares Of The
great industrial combinations, such as
the Standard Oil, coal, etc., have come
to be freely bought and sold and gambled
in, just as railroad shares have been for
SO many years. The new industrial prop
critics are called trust stocks, and they
are regularly quoted. Some Of these
trust stocks are listed on the ex-
changes, others are not. One OF the
fayorite properties of this kind Is the
stock of the sugar trust. Il Is the gem
eral impression that sugar WIN continue
to rise, owing to the failure of the beet
root crop In Europe. Anything win do
for an excuse.

completed in one or another of the Span

how to have sprung into their veins. It
may even be that in the times to come,
when the great American republic shall
have turned its zenith. the scepter of
civilization will pass from Northern to
Southern America Who knows?
The extraordinary offers made to i'm
migrants in various South American
countries have already been mentioned.
Nicaragua apparently should be added
to the list of those lands where brains,
muscle and money are welcomed, and
where there is still room for a man to
grow to his full stature. and where,
ambitious young men may realize their
hopes.
The soil is exceptionally fertile. the
climate healthfuL Much of the soil is
an elevated plateau, very different from
the low lying lands of Panama. In soil
and climate part of Nicaragua greatly
resembles California. Tropical and semi
tropical fruits grow in luxurious abun-
dance 1t is said that facilities for trans
portation are all that are needed to sud-
denly make little Nicaragua become one
of the most prosperous of countries.
Work has already been begun on the
canal. By the terms of the construction
company's contract with the Nicaraguan
governments. no Chinese can be brought
into the country to work on the canal.
It will probably be built by negroes from
our own southern states and Jamaica.
The only laborers available at present
are the peculiar Central American In
tlians, who can neither be coaxed nor
driven to work more than eight hours
a day.
In Nicaragua there are still millions of
acres of pasture lands unoccupied.
There are valuable silver mines, known
since the days before the Spanish con-
quest. but neglected and fallen into dis
use. There are hard woods of untold
value. Foreigners should have no fear

tive Nicaraguan, "for we are a rich

A Life Saving improvement.

An important improvement Is chron-
icled in our marine life saving service,
After March, 1890, all steam vessels will
be required to carry life line rocket.
Heretofore the line rocket appliance has
been confined to life saving service on
shore. A rocket, to which a line was att
tached, was fred from mortar gunsto
the ship in distress. Sometimes Hae Inns
became entangled out of reach and was
Of no use. Sometimes the aim missed
altogether. Now, however, the rocket
and line will be on board the vessel, and
can be fired thence to the shore. At
Washington rocket has been tested
which carries line 1000 yards. With
appliances like this, it does not seem
that ships crew need very often be lost
before the eyes Of those on shore, who
are unable to help them.

Gymnastics for Children.

of sixty in any of our public schools who can run
half a mile, in even three minutes and half,
without being badly blown and looking as If they
had been OVERRIDING themselves
These are some of the conundrums
spry Mr.. William Blaikie asks in Har-
per's Magazine. His answer to-them is
by no means satisfactory to himself. He
believes that the American constitution
is declining. 1t is true he enumerates
the athletic games and exercises our
young people are going in for, but he
does not believe they are going in for
them half enough.
Fifty years ago large proportion of
the American people earned their living
by active labor. Now all that is changed.
Even the farmers son rides upon an ele-
CANT carriage reaper in harvest time and
does not develop muscle any more. This
is not an unmixed evil. The back and
joint stiffening toll of the old fashioned
farmer and laborer may well be dis
missed forever with a godspeed But
in place of it Mr.. Blake believes there
should be introduced into our schools a
regular system of physical culture which
shall develop all the muscles harmonious
ly and perfectly, according to the old
Greek ideal. Grown people of sedentary
habits should follow up the same prac-
tice. The physical training can be at
tended to in the hours from to 9.
Teachers themselves should know In
their own persons how it is possible to
keep in buoyant, bounding health by at
tention to thorough exercise They
should acquaint themselves with the
proper methods of training and teach
them to the children.

The price of sugar is going up. 1t is

named, fourteen million dollars was the
share Of the Sugar Trust syndicate. The
