1t happened that that was the evening
for the meeting Of the ChautauquHn circle
TO which Edith belonged. The girl had
rather tired Of gay society after the first
two winters that followed her coming

received good deal Of attention, she had
tasted that cup pretty thoroughly, and
then, without being cynical 81 all about ~,
she thought she had drunk about as much
Of It as she wanted On the ether hand,
some near hieads of hers had engaged IN
the Chautauquan course Of reading, she
was sitting with them one evening when
some reading aloud went on, and found
herself interested il the solid and practical
work which they had engaged ia. She
thought rightly that she had time 20 make
up some back work, had sent 20 PiRin1eld
TO connect herself with the circle and had
become one Of the most dihgent Of the
readers.
This acciden, determined her now IA the

well knew, there was not any one outside
an idiot asylum who would stead the Cat
taraugus and 0pelSusas bonds. Il might
be that she hesd center and some Of the
others were engaged in q common fraud,
OF which he had in his hands little clew
These considerations passed through his
mind and determined him, wisely or not,
to make no complaint TO the head center
till he had taken the advice OF a lawyer
friend
Meanwhile his first business was to go to
PittSburg and to get the 500 which he
needed for his journey. There was no
money in the box, aud Of course Antony
could not have taken i If there had been,
seeing It WAS not his "Greenbecks," says
an eminent legal authority, ARE the cur
rency OF thieves" But even had Antony
been thief be had no opportunity to steal.
There were the six letters tied up with
the white ribbon. Antony did look al their
addresses, as has been said.
But at the moment his only wish was
that his despised Cattarsugus and Ope-
lousas bonds were in his hands. lie re-
membered, as he often had remembered
before, the pathetic grief of Robinson Cru
soc when the great current OF the Ornoco
was sweeping him to sea in his canoe.
Then poor Robinson locked at his retreat
ing island-the island which he had al
ways called Prison-and wished that he
might return to it, because it was home.
So poor Antony, who had always despised
the Cattaraugus and Opelousas, now
wished that he had them in his hands. In
point of fact, he put back the box into the
cell from which he had taken it, and he
went at once to his lawyer cousin. But the
lawyer cousin was not in. Antony did not
hike 10 tell his queer story TO a stranger.
He therefore borrowed a hundred dollars
from the lawyer cousins clerk. and went
that night on the train to Pittsburg.

A Word for Salem.


Ed. JOURNAL: During our few
months, stay IN Salem many have
been the pleasant things that have
taken place, and our attendance upon
the commencement exercises of the
Willamette University is by nc
means least among them. We feel
proud at having pitched our tent
among a people so wonderfully fa-
vored as your people are. Her state
buildings, public and religious
schools, with the manifest interest
in the development Of her musical
and elocutionary powers make her
one of the most pleasant towns it
has been our privelage to live in
since we left old Boston.
This town and valley is on the
eve of wonderful advancements in
every way. Ten years from now
will see as many direct or spurs to
direct lines of railroads to the East
ern and coast world.
A division and subdivision of the
farms of the valley will follow as
the years advance. No man can
stay a short time without seeing
what is so closely in store for this
wonderfully productive valley even
though he should come with biased
feeling, to-wit a wonderfully large
influx of the moneyed and best
people of the Eastern states. Those
localities are visited so frequently
with the property and life destroy
ing cyclone, cloud burst, and water
spout, that they are looking for
land where they can rest in peace
and still have plenty, and nowhere
can these things be found like the
Willamette valley is so finely and
cheaply offering.
For years spent in Iowa and Min
nesota the pleasure of summer has
been destroyed by the dread to our
partner of those destroying winds
and waters. Since living here peace
reigns and our slumbers are not dis
turbed. There the dread ofthunder
and lightning, hail, wind and wa
ter was eyer detracting from what
pleasure there was. Coming here
we find them not, they do not exist,
In place of them is sunshine and
flowers, calm days and cool sea
breeze at eventide. A man With
half an ordinary soul for looking up
on the delightful scenery, the abun-
dant supply of canning fruit, the
wonderful advance made in the
town In the past six months, cannot
help arising to shout with all his
might, "this is Salem, the land of the
blessed"
This is no real estate boom. We
do not own a foot of Gods earth
and have no axe to grind. We rise
in simple justice to your town and
valley.
Yours, with more anon,
NEW CONFER.

Poverty.

Poverty Is uncomfortable, as | can
testify; but nine times out of ten the
best thing that can happen to a
young man is to be tossed overheard
and compelled to sink or swim for
himself.
In all my acquaintance never
knew man to be drowned who was
worth saving. 1t is the pride of
every American that many cherish
ed names, at whose mention our
heart beats with quicker bound,
were worn by the sons of poverty
who conquered obscurity and be-
came fixed stars IN our armament.
There is no horizontal stratificatiou
in this country like rock in the
earth, that holds one class down
below foreyermore, and let another
come to the surface to stay there
forever. Our stratitic0tion is like
the ocean, where every drop is free
to move and where from the sternest
depths of the mighty deep any drop
may come up to glitter on the high
est wave that rolls. Garfield.

Sam Jones and the Devil.

Sam Jones was advertised to
stomp on the tail feathers of the
devil at Richmond Virginia

on the devil himself, Sam? Your
determination of his tail feathers
would only inconvenience the fash
ionable ladies Of your church for a
while for ornamentations for their
bonnets, Don't do 1t, sam, please
don't, 1t would spoil his looks. Only
think of the devil with his tail
feathers gone. He would look
worse than detailed shanghai
rooster, lie looks bad enough now,
But oh tailless devil; how horrid
he would look Besides that he
could not lash his poor deluded vic
Tins and send the sulphurous tlame'
up around them that they might
get the full benefit of the place /,
which he had brought them.-EN

How TO Catch Suckers.

The world is full of suckers and
there are a great many different
hooks on which to catch them. 1t
is folly for congress 20 make statutes
to prevent lotteries and other swim
dies, because the ingenuity of man
is infinite. Laws to forbid and pun
ish are like cutting at the roots of
noxious bushes-a thousand new
ones start for every one cut out.
Among the thousand and one sub
stitutes for the forbidden ways,
here is one most productive to its
originators Two or three gentle
men locate a city. They advertise
that lot will be given to all who
will send ten cents on or before a
certain time. Thousands bite.
Deeds are sent to each applicant, to
his sisters, cousins, aunts, etc, con-
ditioned that three or four dollars
must be sent to pay for the record
ing. The county recorder and the
town company furnish abstracts.
Two persons may call themselves
half dozen to fill various offices.
From this time on the town COM
pany has perhaps several thousand
clients or prOteges who they can
tax annually and thus secure an ad-
mirable income. There are not less
than a hundred such institutions
now thriving. No one can say that
they are illegal, unreal or fraudulent,
for their imitation of real towns and
cities is perfect. On the broad prai-
rie anywhere within any point al
