The G. A. r.,

The social in Raymond's block Saturday
evening under the auspices of tile Grand
Army of the Republic must have been a sue
cess, as the hall was crowded all even
ing and every one attending had a
good time. The vocal selections
rendered by Mrs. George Hughes
deserve. special mention. Mrs. Hughes
has a voice that indicates careful
and skillful training. Miss Mae Pierce,
Miss Anderson, Miss Wilson, Miss Stewart
and others also assisted-the whole max
ing an excellent programme. Ice cream
and refreshments were served in an ad-
joining room and after the entertainment
dancing.

disappeared from public view several years
ago.

Remedy for Red Face,

Red nose, face or hands usually betray a
need of purgatives or the free use of whole
meal bread, which is in growing demand
all over the Union. The most skillful and
best informed toilet specialists of the cities
make the coarse whole meal food I'll indis-
pensable part of their diet, as it aids the
work of beauty so effectually. 1t makes
fine flesh, it feeds the nerve, and teeth that
have begun to crumble and decay renew
themselves OF this food with sound bone
and enamel.-Shirley Dare.

the haunted graveyard, which he according.
~ did about 10 o'clock one night, obediently
to the old fellows mandate, though grum-
blingly and under protest.
Now there were in the community Q
couple of worthless who made it their custom
to steal sheep at about this hour. The
field or pasture they had arranged to steal
one out of on this particular night was con-
veniently entered only f,om this graveyard,
and here one of the worthless sat down to
wait and keep guard while his friend went
and secured the sheep.
When No. 2 had been gone long enough
to make his haul, up came little Johnny
walking toward No. from much the same
direction which his pal had gone down to
cross the fence, and carrying his old father
in-law on his back.
VOICE FROM THE GRAVE.
Out spoke No. in voice made little
hoarse by sitting on the damp ground:
us he fat?''
Fiat or lean, take him." yelled Johnnie,
pitching the helpless old man headlong at
the horrible goblin voice, and clearing the
hill in about three jumps.
And the poor old man was killed out
right, or died in fits of terrorf Not bit
of it.
He hadn't put foot to the ground for 10
years; but when be lit, under the foregoing
circumstances, be hoped up and cut out
for the house like timber lad OF IS, and
jumping fences and streams, arrived there
some minutes in advance of his young and
athletic son-in-law, who, when he ciapped
his eyes on him, was hardly restrained from
turning to run again, thinking here was
another liant
Just how the story with all its details got
out, history saith not; but, as intimated,
have an idea exactly who it was that told it
to me. ALICE MACGoWAN.

Evil Things That Good Men Do When They

The Old Homestead
The importance of breakfast from an
ethical point of view is not I fear, sufi-
ciently considered. Yet some injudicious
dish. savory but indigestible, may throw a
mans morals out of gear for a whole day.
If ITO dine wisely and not too well" be
rightly put as the duty of every citizen,
even more imperative is it to breakfast
wisely. After dinner a man may shut him.
self up with his dyspeptic ill-temper and
take the consequences-the world will be
none the worse; but after breakfast he has
the whole day before him and his duty to
discharge toward his fellow men.
Much ill-advice rendered by bilious solic-
itors to unlucky clients; inaccurate diagnoses
made by befogged physicians; exhibitions
of temper, and-worse-of wit on the judi
cial bench; savage reviews by jaundiced
critics; melancholy representations by ILL
fed politlcians-all, all may be traced to
imprudent breakfasts. A man who goes
forth into the world with the fumes of dys-
pepsia mounting to his brain is an enemy to
his kind. He has ceased to be himself; DR..
Jekyll has given way to Mr.. Hyde.
The worst OF it is that, though things may
be going all awry, he does not detect the
cause. He curses fate; he inveighs against
the stupidity OF mankind; he deplores his
want of opportunities; be tramps hither and
thither, like bull in crowd, treading
upon peoples toes and kicking their shins
ignorant the while that the true source of
all the mischief was that inopportune dish
of pork sausages, let US say-at breakfast.

to know in what they had given offense,
assuring him that they had intended none,
and were anxious to offer apologies for any
breach they had unwittingly made in his
social code.
"wali, we only sop our bread on one side

1t is said that the Duchess. Dues, who
figured so prominently in the Boulanger ex-
posures, having given the French charlatan
$500, 900 for electoral expenses, is one of the
best-hearted and most benevolent ladies
in France, and that her goodness to her
tenants is of SO practical a nature that she is
in the habit of entering their cottages and
helping them with their humblest household
duties, should sickness or any other cause
have placed them in need of such assistance.

from certain indications I observed-that he
and an antique friend, then present. were
the two other leading characters in the
drama In those days there was a small
"buryin' ground" the neighborhood that
had an evil reputation; indeed, it was said
to be the nightly stamping ground of ha' 'nts
of uncammonly low tastes and vicious prac-
tices-even for graveyard ha'nts.
Little Johnny's father-in-law owned the
land on which this ill-reputed graveyard
was situated, and he was very incredulous
of all the horrible tales whispered about
concerning it. and very contemptuous of
everybody who had lent an ear to them.
Finally he became so worked up on the SUBJ
ject that nothing could dissuade him from
having himself carried up there, about a
quarter of mile up a hill, to see for himself

went an hunted up the dogs an found 'em
settin' round oak whar they had the cub

Here, again, is a story that is of rankly
Homeric flavor, and suggests the diversions

bols of amiable ogres, temporarily out of the
regular ogre business:
Johnny and couple of his special choice
spirits-one of whom had fine $50 rife
over his shoulder-were walking down
along the river one day when they came to
where there was recently deceased porker,
which they knew to have died of cholera,
lodged against some rocks out in midstream

hog an bring hit in yer teeth-'thout techin'

pound O. the meat cut Off n 1t I'll give We
this yer rife"

hog, according TO grunter," and the st,pu-
lation. The challenger then cut off his
pound of fesh;" and as he afterward re-
lated it, "Not havin' no steel-yards I wuz
boun' ter give I'm good mcclure, so never
cut less'n two pound" which our hero ate
"iest so"
