NY SECOND WIFE
PRETTY WORD PICTURE.
At NooatIde In tho smoky Mountains OF
Tennessee.

At Noontide Ia tho smoky Mountains of
Tennessee.
The shadows Of the great dead trees
in the midst Of tho settlement were At
their minimum in the vertical vividness
OF the noOutidc, writes Charles Egbcrt
Craddocll. They bore scant resemblance
TO those memorials of gigantic Crowths
which towCred, stark and white, so high
to the Intensely blue sky; instead they
were like some dark and lcaflcss under
brush clustering about the saplcsS
trunks. Tho sandy stretch Of the clear
ing reflected the sunlight with deeply
yellow glare, its poverty of soil Illus
trated by frequent clumPs of the woody
mullen weeds. The Indian corn and
the sparse grass wero crudely green in
the Enclosures about the gray, weather
beaten Lighthouses, which stood distinct
against the dark, rcstful tones of the
forest filing the background. The
mountains with each remove wore every
changing disguise OF distance; shading
from somber green to dull purple; then
overlaid with n dubious blue; next
showing a true turquoise richness; still
farther a delicate transient hue that has
no name; and so away to the vantage
ground of illusions, where the ideal
poises upon the horizon, and the fact
and fantasy are undistinguishably
blended. The intermediate valleys ap-
peared in fragmontary glimpscs here
and there; sometimes there was only
the verduro of the tree tops; one was
cleft by a cauary-colored streak which
betokened harvested wheat-leld; in
another blazed o sapphire circle, where
the vertical san burned in tho waters of
a blue salt click"
The landscape was still-vcry still
not the idle floating ofa cloud. not the
va0ue shifting Of = SHADOW, not the
uu,tcr OF wing.

SOME SAEE STORIES.
Amusing incidents Connected with the
Safe Makers business.

4 Boston safe maker recently gave 10
a Courier reporter few amusing incl
dents connected with his business
Locks. of course, will sometimes get
out of order and when business man
can not lock his safe, or, worse yet, can
not unlock it, he loses no time in send
ing 70 headquarters for help.
Not long ago we received a hurried
message from one of our customers,
whose safe door had suddenly refused
so shut far enough 70 allow the bolts to
be thrown. y workman hastened to the
establishment, and glancing about the
entrance to the safe, noticed a cent rest
ing on one of the bottom flanges- He
picked it up. and the door shut and
locked without any further trouble
The bill for the workman's time was
probably large enough to prevent repe-
tition of the occurrence.
In another case of the same sort a but
ton from lady's dress was found by the
expert in one of the lower bolt holes.
Some years ago we delivered new
set of vault doors for a bank about two
hundred miles away Just as the bank
was ready TO go into its new quarters we
had a telegram to send a man at once
The bolts of the outer door would not
throw far enough TO lock it
Our man started off forthwith, and
this is what ne found: The bank officers
had fitted a board flooring into the vesti-
bule of the vault, but had omitted to
bore holes in it to allow for the throw Of
the bolts. An auger and ten minutes
work set every thing right. but they
made that piece Of board a rather expen-
sivc luxury
Our morning mail brought a letter
from man three hundred miles from
Boston. His safe could not be opened,
and he was in a distressing plight
Would we send an expert at once?
Our man picked up his kit, took the
next train. and arrived at the custom
er's office the next morning. The safe
proved to be an old fashioned one, with
large key-lock.
There" said the owner. there is
the safe The lock has been working
harder and harder for weeks, and now l
am locked out. ] must have some of my
documents Immediately Never mind
the damage. but break into it in short
order"
The expert tried the key. but it re-
fused to work Then he took a small
wire and picked out half thimbleful
OF dirt and lint He tried il again, and
4 better er-working lock was never seen
How much is your billp" asked the
customer
Forty dollars
"All right That is perfectly satis-
factory, on one condition Does any
one in the place know your business
here2"
No one"
Very good. Get out by the next
train and keep mum. I'd rather pay a
hundred dollars than have any of my
friends know that / sent TO Boston for
a man TO pick the dirt out Of my key"

a LITTLE BOYS HERoIsM.
He Thought lie Was Going to BE Lett in
the CeIactery.


the Cemetery.
Altie boys heroism was tested not
long ago through N sstake. The editor
of 4 contem porary re elates that gentle
man in a New England town proposed
to drive with his wife TO the beautiful
cemetery beside tho river beyond the
Town. Calling his son, 4 bright little
bcy some four years old, he told him 70
set ready to accompany them. The
chi'i's Countcnancc fcll and the father
SAD:
Don't ven wan. % so. Nillie?"
Tho l5t.!c lip c-.vc.od, but tho child
answered: Yes, papa, If you wish"
The child was strangely silent during
the drive. and when the carriage drove
under the wide archway he clung to his
mothers side and looked up in her face
with pathetic wistfulncss- The party
alighted and walked among the graves
and along the trcc-sbadowcd avenues,
looking at the inscriptions on the last
resting place of the dwellers in the
beautiful city of the dead. After an
hour so spent they returned to the
carriage and the father lifted his little
sen to his scat. The child looked sur
prised, drew a breath of relief. and
asked:
"Why. am going back with your
'Gl course you are; why not?"
- thought when they took little boy
TO the cemetery they left them there,
said the child.
Many = man does not show the heroisn
in the face of death that the chilt
,;ipccd in what to him had eyiden q.
been a sun mons 10 leave the world.

A Good Deal Easier.

1t is a good deal easier to be brave
than it is to be patient.
1t is n good deal easier to mean right
than it is to do right.
1t is good deal easier to do your
duty than it is to get others to do their
duty.
1t is good deal easier to be what
God wants you to be than it as to be
what the devil wants you to be.
IL is good deal easier to walk in the
light than it is TO crawl in the dark.
1t is good deal easier to tell other
people what they ought to do than it is
to tell yourself what you ought to do

a Clear COMPLEXION

How can you expect clear complexion
when the blood is full If impurities and the
stomach cIogged? The blood becomes i'm
pure because the liver does not act properly
and work off the poison from the system,
and the certain results are blotohes, pimples
and eruptions. Purify the blood with Sim
mons Liver Regulator, and regulate the
liver, stomach and bowels, and then the
skin will become clear.

Gent TO supply the home market. The see

that fewer shad have bean caught this year
