II was IN the spring when she went home
and in September following received q
letter from the school trustees OF the town
In which Miriam lived asking me to teach
their winter school. They gave the number
OF pupils. the amount of the compensation,
and closed with the hope that / would be
able to accept the proposition. As had
been school teaching for several winters, in
order to secure funds for a collegiate educa-
lion. and the oner of the trustees was an ex-
ceptionally good one, at once wrote my &C.
ceptance.
The last day of November saw me in the
town where the school was located The
region was In the high uplands that border
tue Mohawk valley. I had reached it by .
long and tiresome stage road which passed
from little railway station down by the
river, up through narrow riffs in the hills,
and across rocky and rugged heights. It
was poor region, In which limestone
rocks often appeared at the surface The
fields were small, and almost covered with
powders: the infrequent houses were tumb-
ling, implanted; the fences were of rotting
wooden rails, or of piled-up stones.
1t was q wretched, sterile, forbidding
scene. Some dwarfed sumachs, with their
scant verdure yellowed by frosts, ratified
their thin branches in the autumn wind.
Stunted hemlocks, with dead tops, stood
like half-clad skeletons among the crevices
OF dark, bald rocks. Nowhere was there
any thing cheerful, inspiriting or suggestive
OF promise. Had it not been for the thought
that this inhospital place was the home of
Miriam should have turned about and re-
turned to civilization.

Sometime ago 1 read an article by a prominent doctor onsthe fermentation of bread. He claimed that the sooner it was baked after it was. once light, the sweater and more nutritious it would be adding that in his opinion the gases generated ny longer ferm. ntation were poisonous. I thought very little about ih,s, 'until my husband asked why spent so much tune on my bread, and assured me he always had good bread with one raising when he was "baching on the cattle range.
 Accordingly, made some good fresh l,o tato yeast, and used at least twice as much in mixing up my bread as. when I was go ing 10 let it rise twice or three times. I then mixed it up about as stiff as biscuit dough, just enough to handle, and kneadt d it tthoroughly-I could afford to put little extra time and strength into it, for would not have to handle it again you see.

Shall Women Re Allowed Co Vote!
 The question of female suffrage has agi- tated' the tongues and pens of reformers for many years, and good arguments have been ad- duced for and against it. Many of the softer sex could vote intelligently, and many would vote as their husbands did, and give no thought to the merits of political issue They would all vote for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for they know it is boon to their sex. It is IT. equaled for the cure of leucorrhea, abnormal discharges, morning sickness, and the countless ills to which wo- men are subject. It is the only remedy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ailments, sold by druggists, under positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give sat- isfaction in every case, or money will be re- funded.

 'Yes what kind of an advertisement ?"
 The woman fdgeteda little and fumbled the pocket book some more.

Major McClammy, who represents the IIId North Carolina District in congress, is farmer by occupation. He likes to be called the Cincindatus of the Old North State." His friends gave him that title because, as they assert, he received the, news of his nomination for congress while. he was busy ''pulling fodder" in corn field. They hotly deny the story that that intelligence reached him while he was guaging the output of fruit-brandy dis. tillery, he at that time holding the honor able and responsible office of guager in the Internal Revenue service. That the gal lant major possesses at least one of the traits of Cincinnatus is beyond question. One of his colleagues is John McBroweE; a republican. Brewer is a tobacco mana. facturer, and while he is not flop by any means he wears neat and we'll fitting clothes of good material. McClammy is less "dressy" in fact he Is rather negligent ID respect to his apparel.
 Some time before the election Cincmiia tus McClammy and Manufacturer Brewer met and as matter of course began to discuss presidential probabilities. Finally Cincinnatus exclaimed:
 ''I'I bet you suit of clothes that Cleve. land will win"
 "Done," replied Brewer. .ss.The fact is. McC Cfammy, you need good suit of clothes and if lose the bet I'll pay it cheerfully on that account"
 When the two men met in Washington last month, Brewer said
 "Well, Major, I'd like that suit of clothes myself"
 "All right, Brewer, but I don't reckon you'll want me to buy you better suit than I am in the habit of wearing down home. usually wear suit that costs me two dollars and half, but I'm willing to raise the amount in your case and pay three dollars"
 ''I will not have it. You cannot put me off with any Cincinnatus hand me downs. , Why, Major, you're the worst ever saw. I've heard you declare that the tariff tax on every suit of clothes is fifty per cent. and that the entire amount is added to the cost. If that be true you want to put me of with suit of clothes worth only dol lar and half"
 "Well, it's the very best can do, re- Fplied Cincinnatus as he walked away. Brewer has not yet decided whether he will array himself in three-dollar suit or not, but the chances are against it. He willn lay any more bets with McClammy without having the terms more clearly de. fined.

The cloth won't fade or grow rusty; the nat ura fur will. l We have fared extremely we'll with seal skin Pushes this year-especially the Sacque with a seam in the back.

Tramps CaDEursa

HOLLAND, Ia, Sept.-Eariy yester-
day morning the constable discovered
two tramps setting fire to the depot.
They escaped in the darkness and the
citizens extinguished the flames. They
were at 10 o'clock in box car at Rein
beck and the sheriff and three other
citizens attempted TO arrest them. The
attemp was resisted and in the shoot
ing that followed one of the bullets
hit Archie Neal in the neck inficting q
fatal wound. In the excitement that
followed the men escaped, but were
pursued and captured. They were
brought to the MarshaltoWn Jail last
night TO prevent lynching. Early this
morning great crowd surrounded the
jail and an attempt will probably be
made to lynch them. It is not likely
that this will be effected as most OF
men are from the country and have nc
tools with which TO break down the
doors of the Jail. The prisoners gave
their names as John White and Tho
mas Williams.
