idly toward the end of the operation
anu II was thought that she would die
on the table. She rallied after twelve
ounces of blood had been pumped into
Der arm from a powerful coal HEAVIER,
and made a good recovery. With the
loss OF the gall stones the desire for
opium disappeared.
The function of the gall bladder is
not known. Scientists have been COM
PEELED to give up the idea that it is
store-house for bile. The bladder is
supposed to secrete a mucous fluid
which mikes with bile as conducting
medium, but we have no definite knowl-i
edge as to the part the gall bag plays in
the animal economy. 1t has been sug-
gested, and with good reason, that one
of the ultimate effects of opium on the
body is the production of gall stones,
which have their beginning usually in
the liver and find their way into the
gall bag. Several autopsies have been
made within few days upon the bodies
of Cinnamon addicted to the use of
opium, and in every instance stones
were found in the liver and bladder. If
it can be shown that this is the effect of
opium. this useful drug will be laid on
the shelf, and will be used as text to
show the ignorance of our generation to
posterity.

DONALD AND ROSE.
Parted in Life-United in Death.

Dan Burke, the section foreman, a

who had been located at Eagle since the
station was established, with no period
of absence longer than an occasional
trip with his wife to the nearest town,
twelve miles away. for supplies, was the
only man who could tell the story of the
sleeperS in the silent home beneath the
tree to any one who cared to learn more
than could be gathered from the simple
legend carved on the stone.
One cold, rainy day toward the end of
March the west-bound passenger train
on the main line was delayed by a wash
out near the station below Eagle, and
the passengers on the branch line who
wished to take the express were COM
PEELED to crowd into the stuffy little sta
ton, filled with clouds of smoke from
the pipes of Dan and his mates, who
had sought temporary shelter from the
storm. The steam arising from the wet
garments of the section men added to
the murky atmosphere of the room and
made it additionally dIsagreeabe. AS
there were no women in the party, how
ever. all accepted the situation philo-
SOphically.

Forced TO Become a Pauper After
He Had Given Her $4,000 to
Care for Him.
New York Sun.
Samuel Murray. who a month ago
passed his siXty-fourth year. was to-day,
at his own request, committed to the
county almshouse, and the poor di-
rectors will take steps to recover $4,000
foolishly given away by him In March
last to his sister, Mrs. John W. Savre.
of Bangor, on condition that she and
her husband would provide for him un-
tlldeath. Murray has been a hard-work-
ing man all his life. For twenty wears
ne worked for tanner named McCul-
ioch, Lycomlng County, rarely drawing
his pay. Last March he stopped work,
and Mr.. McCulloch gave.him $4,000.
subsequently Murray went to the home
or MS sister, repreS nting himself as a
tramp, and asked to be cared for. She
gladly complied, and after Murray was
comfortable installed i'll her house he
nade known his financial condition, and
created sensation that went the rounds
or the press. A contract was drawn up,
legally atteSted, and is on record at the
Court House. wherein John Sayre and
MS wife agree, in consideration of So
600, to take the best of care of Murray.
To-day Murray came to Easton and
placed his case in the hands of the poor
authorities. He declares that he was
badly treated, that he had to eat what
the family left, that he worked for Sayre,
who is slate operator, for $40 month,
and that his treatment became such that
a month ago he left the house and be-
gan tramping. One night he slept in
the station house in this city, and the
rest of the time in barns He says that
he could get along if he could only OBJ
tain the interest on the money the
Sayres have.

stone 30 mark the grave. But from
that day to this we have never heard
word from any one that could throw
any light on the history of the tive
strangers who died almost i'm the same
spot in such different manner.
'Before she died the strange lady told
Nora she had read of the accident OF
SIX months before, an somethin' seemed
to tell her it was one who used to be
very dear TO her. 1t seems the lovers
had quarreled over some matter, an
she had upbraided him harshly an told
him she would never consent to see him
again. She never heard more from him
until she read the account of his death
in the papers. After that she
couldn't rest till she came to
satisfy herself, an when I
described his clothes, and some little
peculiarItie5 / had noticed, she knew
her lover was the man we had buried.
She would say notliin' about herself
more than that her name was Rose, am
that she knew of no one in the world
who would care to hear of her now that
him size loved was gone. She wouldn't
say where she came from or give any
particulars of herself before she came
here, but Nora says she must have been
real lady, bekase of the fine clothes
she wore, an her manner an talk.
While we have health and strength
we'll keep their resting place as nate as
we cal.; an many time when | see
Nora hneelin' am prayin' by the grave
think she las given over to the I'M
fortunate lovers beneath all the affection
sine would have lavishcd on her own
children il God had ever blessed her
with any,"
When Dan had finished his simply
told tale all were too deeply impressed
to break the silence, but the memory of
The lone grave as Eagle, and the strange
and tragic story of its occupants, will
linger with every listener as long as life

TROUSERS OF EALsKIN FIT.
Bill Arp Recalls the Time When
They Had to Re STRAINED Down

Bill Arp Recalls the Time When
They Had to BE Strapped Down.
When was in my teens, says Bill
Arp in the Atlanta Constitution, aud
had begun to notice the girls and put
oil on my hair and cinnamon drops on
my handkerchief, the fashion was to
wear short pants and straps-leather
straps about an inch wide, that came
under the shoe and fastened to buttons
sewed on the inside of the pants. When
a Teller sat down the whole concern was
drawn as tight as an eelskin, and
there was a continual strain On the
straps at the bottom and the sus-
penders at the top. Sometimes but
ton broke or strap bursted under pc
culiar circumstances, and then the
pants crawled up amazingly. One day
i was riding out with my sweetheart.
and the catastrophe happened as we
were running galloping race up long
hill, and my pants crawled up to my
knee and carried the undergarment
along, and it was on her side of the
horse, and she laughed and laughed
until she liked to have fell off. and
l had to get down and cut a skewer Off
of rail and faSten the strap on again.
The mischievous thing told it Oh me,
and never got even with her until
one day her hustle came united and
dropped off as she was passing my store
and picked it up and handed it tn her
with bow as polite as Frenchman,
and said: Miss Mary, your shoe-strap
is broken" The bustles of that day
were shaped like a new moon and
stuffed with bran.
remember when the college boys
wore boots according to their politics.
The toes were shaped like ducks bill,
and were turned up and over on to the
top of the foot like skate; and if the
boy was a Wig he had Clay printed on
the toes in large letters, and if he was a
Democrat he had Polk printed there,
and so they walked about sticking their
politics into everybody's faces.

THE oFFICEsEEKER.
The Strange Race That Still
Hangs Around the Capital.

The Strange Race That Still
Hangs Around the Capital,
Washington Post.
The average Officeseeker is most sem
sitiye as to the impression his canvass
for the governmental plum is making at
home. When he arrives in Washington
he at once hunts up the correspondents
OF his home paper, and makes a special
request that they make no mention of
his presence at the capital, or If they
will not consent to that he will be pleased
to have them say that he came on at the
request of his member of congress,
who has place he desires to have him
accept, and that he is now giving the
matter that consideration which he
deems is due. No one comes to Wash
ington these days on good, old-fash-
Toned hunt for Office. Then, again,
there are those who long for place who
Systematically deceive not only their
friends, but members of their own fam
lilies. One of this class came to Wash
ington about three months ago. and ever
since has been importuning his men,
Der of congress to provide for
him. He started out for
good, fat consulate, but now he
is in about the same condition
the spinster who prayed for man. He
will take anything that is offered and
be glad of the opportunity. He had not
been here over month when his wife
wrote him that he was wasting his time.
and suggested in that vigorous manner
that only a woman can command, that
he had better come home and go to
work. To pacify his better-half, he
wrote her that he had succeeded in Sc
curing place and would go to work
next week. He also stated as soon as
he got enough money ahead he would
send for her, and then he continued to
wait for something to turn up. But
success has not as yet perched
upon his efforts, and last week
when he received a letter from his
wife, notifying him that she was ready
to join him and was only awaiting re-
mittance. he realized that something
must be done and that quite speedily.
The way he went about his last bit of
deception was to complain to the police
that he had been robbed of neat sum
of money and to take good care to see
that the announcement of his bogus
robbery found its way into the news
papers. Marked copies of the papers
were sent to his home and now he is en-
joying another brief respite from that
source. His congressman has been
given to understand that his case is des-
perate and he expects to eaten on in
few days.

it IMPLY as one of the disagreeable

Cured the unfortunates paced impa-
tlently up and down the narrow plat

forth, unless the weather was incle-
ment, when they crowded into the
stuffy little station and told stories or
sWapped yarns while the slow minutes
crept by.
Situated in sparsely settled section,
1t was surrounded on all sides by UNI
worked prairie land, which was rem
dered almost worthless by marshes
and quagmires. As far as the eye could
penetrate nothing was to be seen but

an after thought of kind nature-by a
cluster of nOdding dandeliOns or the
swaying spikes of the bright-hued
golden rod. The spirit of loneliness
seemed to brood over the location.
The oppressive silence of the place
was broken only by the roar of the four
trains which passed daily, stopping no
longer than was necessary TO comply
with their running orders. In mile
there were no living inhabitants except
the operator and the five section men,
all of whom boarded with the section

A ME MoRY:

My heart is far away tonight
Beyond the blue of the Southern seas,
Where the world lies wrapped in mystic
light
And the red rose signs in the hush of night
To her ardent lover, the breeze.
Where the pale acacia trembles, and showers
Its petals of perfumed snow on the stream
That hurried over its rock-brown bed
Where the jasmine lifts its golden head
And the peoples nod and dream.
Where the purple fox-glove hides the bee
That drowsily. heavily drones and huns:
Where the siivery waves break on the sand,
And the sea nymphs dance on the coral
strand
When the hour of midnight comes.
And see his face-and hear his voice:
My prince, with his shining, soul-lit eyes;
And feel his arms about me Irvine,
And the warmth of his perfect lips on mine,
Meath the dusk of the Southern skies.
And, OH am sad and lone tonight,
And my heart is full of lingering pain.
And list where the lilies breathe and move,
For the tender, passionate whisper of love
! l shall never hear again.
Lillian Cleveland in Washington Post.
