DR.. NEWELL'S PERIL.

1t was late in the evening when the
summons reached Dr. Newell to attend
patient ten miles from the little from.
tier settlement of Osceola, where his
office was located.
A wood-chopper had met with an
accident-felled a tree on his leg, and
every moments delay put his life In
jeopardy. The messenger had ridden
hard, and having delivered his summons
returned Immediately, not waiting for
DR.. Newell to come in from the round
of calls he was making.
He had been gone two full hours
when Newell threw himself into his
armchair before the blazing wood fire
and prepared to make himself comfor-
table for the evening. lie was in Just
that contented frame of mind which is
induced by a good cup of tea and warm
fire after one has buHeted the cold and
disagreesbleness of November hail
storm; and it was in no very pleasant
humor that he received the intelligence,
communicated by the landlady, that
"old Steve Brownell had got tree on
him and was wanting the doctor at once
at Windy Gulch."
Newell was a handsome fellow, but
he looked undeuiably cross oycr the
prospect. For once he had a mind to
consult bis own comfort before that OF
OLD Steve. But no, he said to himself
as soon as he thought about it, he had
no business to hang out a shingle
advertising bis profession unless he
intended to obey the calls made on him
1t was a matter Of wonder to every
body who had wit enough to wonder
about anything, what ever sent man
of DR.. Newell's fine taste and cultiva-
ton 60 such Wild. uncivilized region
as Osceola. And among all his friends
and acquaintances no one ever suspected
the secret, which can be told in very
few words.
Isabel Houghton, a lovely Boston
belle, after flirting with Dr.. Newell fol
two whole years, suddenly married old
Job Sonders for his money and Newell
driven wild by her perfdy, vaclllated
for week between hanging and shoot
ing himself. Finally he decided to dc
neither, but, picking up his traps, he
emigrated to the western wilderness
and in the life of toll and adventure
which he led his cure was effected
By the time be had been six months
in Osceola he could eat "square meal
Of bread and buffalo meat, and had sc
far forgotten hia passion for Isabel that
he could think of her frizzlel yellow
hair and all, and whistle tune at the
same time.
DR.. Newell put away the prospect Of
an evening of comfort and leisure which
he had been indulging and got into his
heavy overcoat and furred leggins
again. Lightfoot was taken out of the
stable, where he had been munching bis
corn, saddled in haste, and the doctor,
leaping on his back, left Osceola
behind.
The night was rainy and dark, though
there was moon a couple weeks old,
and the path was none of the pie SAINT
est even in the daytime, when the sun
shone and the bird sang in the trees.
The first five miles of the way there
was rough wheel track, as far as
Larned S mills; after that on y u bride
tracks, and that led through the prlla-

KEEP THEM AT HoME.-Parents
often wonder who or what has ruined
their boys. They have been in school
every day, but the lessons OF deport-
ment, morality inculcated there seem
to have been wasted on barren ground.
The truth is, boys are allowed to be on
the streets from the time school close
until late at night. The stfest corner
is the best place in the world for teach
ing vice, proaigacy and crime. Nearly
all the bad language, and idle, vicious
habits which boys acquire, are learned
ON the streets late at night. Teachers
may be able to accomplish little in
counteracting these little influences,
but much Of their labor is in vain until
parents cooperate with them by keep
ing their boys off the streets at night.

seemed pleased and many were heard
to say that it was the best show they
ever attended. The performance
throughout was much above tie average.
The clowns were funny, the gymnasts
and tumblers were the best. The

a SPECIMEN OF PlsEI,1D1Cus.

The best specimen of political
prejudice we havo vet seen in print,
appeared in one of the Shell circulars
in the fourth District. 1t appeals to
the farmers to turn out and vote for
Shell on the ground that the anti
Tillman men will not care snap for
their defeat i'll the State, if they can
only secure the defeat of Shell. The
circular docs not want Shell elected
because he is Il good man-nothing
like that, but because it is the only
way to keep Tillman's opponents
chagrined or under hack.
Those who got up the circular must
have gone plumb wild. They say if
Shell is not nominated that Tillman
will not DO elected Governor. We
have seen newspapers lie, but this
takes the cake from any journalistic
Ananias that ever dealt in real estate
1t IL as bad rs Shells circular which
told the farmers that their lives dc,
pended Oh Tillman's election. Wei,
well! AS Abraham Lincoln said:
"Thank the Lord, you can't fool the
people all the time"

WHAT A DOG TAUGHT.

In 1872 there was o ilourishinp
school in the Eastatoe Valley. Among
the dogs which came with the child.
zen to school was II very largo, res.
pectablc and digniticd looking animal
whose ordinary gait was q walk. He
always looked straight ahead. While
school was i'll session one day he came
stepping through the school room
with his head and tail up, intontly
Watching squirrel cutting hickory
nuts on the side of IL mountain u
hundred yards away. Ono of the
children atormcd out at him, "Git
out, Tallcy! and at the same time
struck him violently across the back
with tho handy birch. Talloy nci-
ther lowered his head or tail, t,n ned
his eyes nor mendcd his pace. He
moved straight ahead. He had q re-
markably sensitive ear. Hc would
detect the slightest movement Of u
ls4ulrrcI, 1oN or deer at q great dis
tance, but hc was deaf to the bark
and blustcr of fee even at his heels.
He was good grit. We learned a
lesson from Talley, that has been
worth car loads Of refined oil 10 the
SENTINEL. This Journal has been
going straiSht ahead, publishing all
the news it could gather, advocating
what it conccivcg to be for the good
, of the community to which it owes
; its success, without any skull,ing or
: growing. Now it is rewarded with
a larger subscription list and mole
substantial patronage than it has
ever had. And it is thankful now to
be able to serve the news to its read
ers without any mixture of patent
medicine notices.

| The new tariff law was to hay,
taken effect last Saturday at 3 y. m
Several merchant ships were anxious
~ expected to arrive in the New
Gcrk Harhor by that hour, but vtr,
not sighted. The custom house cor
ridors were throngcd with importers
who were hoping, praying, clamoring
and cuSsnG to get their cargocs en-
tered under the old law. The col!cc-
tor postponed the law till / p. m.
No ships came. The importers ray
ed. Window was wircd for instruc
tions. He ordered the collector to
use his own discretion. Tho law was
postponed till midnight, and the cx,
pccted ships came. Tho Captain OF
the Etruria was run SO close he left
ElS vessel at sea and took q tug, Ian
ded, and Was driven to the custom
House at break neck speed. The
lights had just been turned of, but
he hopped behind the counter and
entered his ship just forty seconds,
before Mckinley's bill would have
robbed his shippers of thousands of
dollars. Never before has the Oh
preston of tho republican party been
SO kccn]y felt, or caused such q dc
monstratlon. The importers, of
course, will pocket the margin be-
twiXt the old and the new rate. The
increased tax will all lave to be paid
by the consumer Let the iniquitv
go on. The republican party is piIme
up wrath against the day of wrath,
as surely as the years roll by. This
and nothing but this has caused the
Alliance uprising, and every ropubli-
can who comes into that order, will
use his efforts to pull the wool over
the eyes of his brethren, and make
them If possible, allow the tariff dev-
lis to enter tho swine, instead Of
sending them direct to the deem sen
of oblivion.
