There was . time when all had Riven
her up save this same one indomitable
spirit. Alone, IS it were, he battled
with death and came of victorious. But
the conflict was not won even when the
crisis was past and reason again en-
throned She was SO fral and weak.
She reminded the dauntless watcher of
a bit of thistle-down, liable at any mo-
ment to float from sight forever. Like
a wrath she lay quietly among the pill
lows, too weak to question or even won
der who the stranger was who SO seldom
left her for any length of time, and who
seemed able to anticipate every want.
But when she had grown q little
stronger, and he was less beside her,
she questioned Aunt Mile concerning
him.
why, bless yen, sweet child, It's he
who saved your life. never saw any
one like him before; when the old
doctors and all of us had given
you up, he Just hung over you night
and day. I've seen him reel like q
drunken man he'd be that weak and ex-
hausted. For forty-eight hours when
you were at the worst he did not eat a
bite, only drank a cup of coffee oc-
casionally, and the day the disease
turned he was as white as you are now.
I tell you, pet, he's one of Gods noble
men, I'll never forget him while I
live"
But who is hep" whispered Grille,
with wondering eyes.
"Why, he's DIR. Mortimore Burt, a
nephew of the old Doctor and partner

Pea Ridge Politics.

Speaker Clay is very popular through
out his district, except in one small pre-
cinct in what is known as Pea Ridge
where the people are very poor, and
being isolated, do not keep up with thu
outside world, says the Atlanta Journal
To them the Georgia Legislature is tn
greatest law-giving and most powerful
body of men on earth.
In this section Speaker Clay, when b,
ran for the Legislature the first time
received only eight votes. He though
he could at least double his votes Their
in his last race, and went over to the
Ridge to make speech.
While he was talking away to tn
constituents of Pea Ridge about wha
he had done in the Legislature q rougl
farmer came close to the stand ans
shouted:
Say, mister, don't yer know eff yer'ut
er done yer dooty en- the last Legislet.
us farmers wouldn't er had this ye
baggin' trust ter fight ergin.'
The audience cheered the questionei
a. if he had put . socdollager to ths
speaker, and although Mr.. Clay triei
to explain that the Georgia Legislature
had nothing to do with trusts formed IL
st. Louis and New York, his hearer
were satisfied that he had not dome his

FEMALE FARMERS. /.

Will the coming young woman be a
farmer?
Scattered all over the broad prairies
Of the Northwest are hundreds of self
reliant, true blue young heroines, living
in small, isolated cabins called shacks,
proving up claims, entering homesteads
and making money.
1t is lonesome, dreary business, this
living alone on a wild, unsettled prairie,
without face or human form to well
come one or cheer ones solitude, but
there seem to be a good many young
women who have the grit to hang to
this solitary life long enough to prove
up claim at least.
Four young ladies in Dakota last
year put their heads together and hit
upon an ingenious plan, whereby they
could each secure a claim and vet all
live comfortably together in one house
and each be upon her own land. In
stead Of building four shacks with one
room each, they constructed one shack
with four rooms, but SO nicely planned
that each room Of the square building
was on different quarter section. Each
had her own bed in her own room and
in that way, each claimant at night
slept upon her own land.
Society ladies of the city will wonder,
not so much how these young lady set
tiers get along without social privileges,
as how they dared live so far away from
the doctors. Why, bless you! they new
er thought of being sick. Doctors are
not half SO much of a household neces-
sity as city people are in the habit Of
thinking.
For all the ordinary ills of life, the
old fashioned roots and herbs remedies
are more effective, and much safer in
results, than modern doctors pills and
potions. These latter are so radical in
their effects that, while they may bet
ter meet the modern desire for quick re-
suits, they frequently permanently in
jure the system, nature rebelling against
the unnatural methods employed.
1t is always safest to follow natural
methods in treating disease. The old
time roots and herbs remedies, which
our good old lOg-cabin grandmothers
hhoW 80 well low W prepare, "eio oho
best remedies the world ever knew, be-
cause they were natures remedies.
1.-The modern world needs them. In
Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, and es-
pecially such as Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla and Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption Remedy, the
people of to-day have an opportunity to
secure the healthy medicines which our
rugged ancestors used with such splen-
did results.

1t was late in the fall that the young
widows strength failed entirely, and
Aunt Millicent found her one morning
in faint by the bed side. Mark was
dispatched for the family physician,
while the two women did what thew
could.
Poor child" said the old Doctor
anxiously, I'm afraid it's going to be
brain trouble; her symptoms are like
those of a person breaking under some
mental strain"
She's Just grieving herself to death
for poor Fred" her aunt declared.
In the evening, when he came again,
Girlie felt, rather than saw or heard,
that some one accompanied him. The
distress in her head was SO severe that
the room was in twilight, and she could
not open her eyes even then without
aggravating the pain; but when cool,
magnetic hand was laid on her forehead
and low, soothing voice said, 3Your
head is no better, 1 fear" she had to
open them little.
A strangers face was dimly visible
bending over her. Vaguely she wondered
who he was. She did not remember
having seen him before, and yet there
was something restful in his touch and
presence, like there is in q mothers 70,
weary child. With sigh she closed
her eyes again.
Weary days and weeks of pain and
delirium followed, during which one
hand alone could cool the fevered brow
one voice hush the Wild rawlings.

POliteness in the Home Circle.

True politeness is founded on consid.
Grafton for others, yet it is SO much q
matter of form or habit that politeness
is sometimes shown where there is nc
consideration; it is sometimes neglected
where there is affection and every rea-
son for kindly consideration. Thus, in
the intercourse of near relatives made
familiar with each other by daily meet.
ings there is naturally less formality
than between people who are only
thrown together by the chance of few
hours or days at long intervals. But
along with the laying aside of formality
some necessary features of politeness
are sometimes sacrificed by relatives and
very close friends. The youth who is
careful to salute his lady friends and
acquaintance according to the usages
of good society sometimes forgets to pay
the same respect to his sister, not be-
cause he is wanting in affectionate re.
gard, but because he has grown so ia
miliar with her that it seems awkward
to him to treat her in any formal way.
Yet when he meets her in company he
should, out of consideration for her, be
markedly polite and attentive.
Although politeness necessarily fol.
lows to a great extent set forms, il
should have its origin in affection fol-
the individual, or, in more general
way, in consideration for others. When
the young man begins to behave at home
with less politeness than he exhibits
abroad, there is much danger that grad.
ually he will lose that consideration fol-
his immediate relatives which he should
have and exhibit. He may begin by
entering the family room without
formal greeting; absorbed in his own
thoughts or pursuits, he will soon begin
to leave his sister and his mother to look
out for themselves in the small affairs
of life, and gradually but surely he will
cultivate q selfish disposition i'll home
affairs that will make him bad or in
different son or brother. 1t is a small
matter in itself whether young man
finds chair for his sister or mother
when they should be seated, anticipates
their desire for q glass of water, cheer.
fully helps them to their wraps, and Of
fers them the thousand little attentions
without which and in his absence they
could get along very well by their OWL
exertions, but it is not a small matter
when neglect Of such attentions lessons
his consideration for them, develops his
selfishness, and gradually undermines
the affection that should unite the fam.
ily. Politeness in society between &C
quaintances and friends is demanded by
custom. There is no need to remind
that it should be exhibited. Politenes.

He Washed the Tiger.

When Pezon, the lion-tamer, was at
Moscow with his menagerie, he had oc-
casion to employ a moujik, fine speci-
men of Cossack, to clean out the cages
of the wild beasts. The COssack did not
understand a word of French, and the
terms of the contract was settled in
dumb show. By way of instructing him
in his new duties, Pezon went through
sort of pantomime with the broom,
sponge, and water bucket.
The moujik watched him closely, and
appeared to understand the details of
the lessons given. Next morning, armed
with broom, bucket, and q sponge,
he opened the first cage he came to, and
quietly stepped in, as he had seen
his master step, on the previous day,
into two cages of harmless brutes; but
this one happened to be tenanted by
splendid but untamed tiger, that lay
stretched on the floor fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and
closing the door the creature raised its
head, and turned its green eyes full on
the man, who, all unconscious of his
danger, stood in corner dipping his
big sponge into the bucket.
At that moment Pezon came out of
his caravan, and was struck dumb by
the terrible sight that met his gaze.
What could he do to warn the man of
his danger? A sound, a movement on
his part might enrage the great beast,
and hasten its attack on the defenseless
Cossack. So Pezon stood, awaiting de-
velopments, ready to rush to the scene
when the crisis came.
The moujik, sponge in hand, coolly
approached fhe tiger, and made ready
to rub him down with the stolidity of
military bootblack polishing his cap
tain's boots.
The sudden application of cold to its
hide evidently produced very agree
able effect on the tiger, for it began to
purr, stretched out its paws, rolled over
on its back, and complacently offered
every part of its body to the vigorous
treatment of the moujik, who went on
scrubb;ng with might and main.
All the while Pezon stood there with
his eyes wide open, and as if nailed to
the spot.
When he had finished his job, the
Cossack left the cage as quietly as he
had entered it, and it required the most
energetic gestures on the part of the
lion-tamer to prevent his repeating the
experiment on a second wild BEAST

THE DRUM.
By JAMES wHIrcoMB RuYH.

Oh the drum,
information in thy grum
Monotony of utterance that strikes the spirit
dumb.
As We hear
Through the clear
And uncIouded atmosphere,
Thy palpfta.ing syllables roll in upon the earl
There's part
OF thy music-t hrobbing heart,
That thrills something in US that awakens
with a start,
And in rhyme
With the cline
And exactitude Of time.
Goes marching on to glory Of the melody sub
lime.
And the guest
OF the breast
That thy rolling robs Of rest
Is a patriotic spirit as a Continental dressed;
From the glooms
OF a century of tombs,
And the blood he spilled at Lexington In living
beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear the guise
OF "a purpose pure and wise:
As the love Of them is lifted to q something In
the skies,
That is bright
With a blur of starry light.
As it laughs in silken ripples to tbs breezes day
and night.
There are deep
Hushes creep
Ger the pulses as they leap.
And the murmur. fainter growing, on the silence
falls asleep.
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
As a heritage to freedoms sons and daughters
everywhere.
Then, with sound
As profound
As the laundering resound,
Come thy wild reverberations in q throe that
shakes the ground,
And cry
Flung on high,
Like the flag it flutters by,
Wings rapturously upward till it nestles In the
sky.
Oh, the drum!
