A Horses Memory.
'IetlGe1'.

"Say, friend, You are on M horse,
said one gentleman to another as 1t
reined his horse before the door.
"Your horse! Oh, no; why, / bought
this horse two years ago."
You did," answered the other:
well, | lost my horse it was stolen
just two years ago"
The conversation took place under
the far-spreading oaks of an old-time
plantation home. A planter was SUI
prised to see his horse return home
after two years. and hidden by gentle.
man who evidently had bought the
horse in good faith. After some con
versation the old owner of the horse,
with much earncstness, said: "Well,
sir, ii you will dismount, unsaddle the
horse, and he don't go to the fence,
take the bars down, walk to the well,
and if he dent find water in the bucket
let it down the we'll, and then walk off
to his old stable, | will give up, and
that horse isn't mine" "At your word
the horse is yours if he does all that, "
cried the visitor, and, leaping from the
horse, unsaddled it. What was his
astonishment when the horse went
straight to the fence, let down the bars,
crossed over, went to the we'll, and,
finding no water, let the bucket down,
and then, as though he had left home
bnt yesterday, walked to the old sta

The bulldog is not an animal to be
admired. yet he possesses one trait that
at least entities him to our respect.
His tenacity OF purpose is provcrbial.
1t makes him formidable adversary.
A like trait has often enabled man to
overcome great obstacles and win vic
tory under the most trying circnm-
stances. In fact it is only by tenacity
of purpose and indomitable will-power.
that many of life's battles are brought
to a successful termination.
Disease, like mans more material
enemies, is often an obstinate adver-
sary, and it is only by the most de-
termined persistency in the use of the
best remedy that victory is attained
over it. While DR.. Picrce's Golden Med

recommended, yet in ailments of long

in their inception and progress, the care
must likewise be effected by slow de-

When man runs quarter OF mile

a great victory. But when the train
stops before it has proceeded fifty

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Tho Snow Baltic.

From the signs of the times it is safe to say
That the big white fort will be stormed to-day
The besiegers stand in battle array,
And the enemy take position.
The drums are beaten, the trumpets blare,
The flags are flutterin, everywhere,
And every resolute soldier there
Has an armful of ammunition.
Their shouts ring out in the frosty sky.
They charge-they pause-they waver and hyi
They halt-they form-and again they tx"
With reckless, wild endeavor.
Eiercer and closer the conflict grows.
Who cares now for n tinsling nose2
He that first DER the rampant goes
Is covered with glory forever.
Thicker and faster the missiles fall.
Hark to the leaders stirring call
"Onl On Over the wall
The enemy's ranks arc shakenP
Bravely and blindlv on they go,
Facing fearful volley of snow
Now on the height their banners glow
Hurrah for the fort is taken!

however much his valor may flow out at
his finger ends when the time comes to
vote. Now that he has lost his oppor-
tunity to vote against the infamous Nc
Kinley bill he has again resorted to
valiant talk.
"What is our situation as partyY'
he asks, and then he answers his ques-
ton by painting this melancholy picture
Of the situation: "The tariff unrevised
and no consoling prospect that the
senate viii do more than transpose the
exorbitant rates that abound in the
present schedule"
What ''consoling prospect" has the
country that Maj. Benjamin Butter
worth will use his vote, when the bill
gets back into the house for conference
work, to defeat its "exorbitant ratesy.
And the major devotes some valiant
talk again to the farmers tariff, SO
called. He says that the farmer lis
shown tariff schedule which runs the
whole gamut from snap beans through
peas, onions, peanuts, squashAs, cabbages,
eggs, oranges, hops, corn, rye and wheat
all Of which is as useful to him as
duty on tin whistles"
Then he indulges in some super-yalani
talk against the workings OF our present
high tariff laws. He says: The injury
comes in various forms. It's most
