A Lunar Rainho,x !.

The crowds Of politicians we're treated
to heavenly display at about O'Clock
one morning that is rarely witnessed. It
was a lunar rainbow, as perfect and as
brilliant as the most perfect and
brilliant rainbow that ever adorned an
eastern sky when the sun bursts forth
after summer evening shower. The
bow first formed half circle over the
moon and underwent a gradual change
until perfect CROSS and crescent were
formed. The play Of color was beauti-
fully grand, and the whole western sky
was so brilliantly illuminated that the
electric street lights paIed. Lunar rain
bows are supposed to be the heavenly
forerunners Of war, and when they take
the form of cross and crescent the war

Just at present Mrs. Brodgage is break

Ireland-a stalwart, rosy, typical Irish
peasant girl, full of respect, devotion and

for the early evening Of the same day.

Immigrants and Cashiers.

People who do business with newly ar.
rived imznigrants notice how quickly
they begin TO become Americanized.
This tendency, In fact, causes no little
Inconvenience to the cashiers Of savings

among their depositors. Some Of the
larger institutions Of this kind have
many hundreds Of depositors, and it ID
necessary to exercise the greatest care
in seeing that the signatures on orders
or checks for money are exactly tho

A good book is one that interests you.
One in which the bright rather than

One that makes you see how mean are

One that glorifies virtue in woman and

One In which the good are rewarded

One which convinces you that this

How Young Lawyer Defended an In.
Jured Woman and Made . Reputation.
Jonathan H. Pugh was pale faced
young lawyer. Day after day he sat
waiting for clients. but none came. The
first term Of court appeared and his name
had not appeared on the docket. At that
time my father was clerk Of the circuit
court. One day there came to him a
poor, sad woman, who poured into his ear
pitiful tale of woe. A brother-in-law
had robbed her Of all the property left
her by her dead husband, had oppressed
and abused her, and was now seeking to
take from her care her only child, a little
girl 8 years old My father became
deeply interested in the woman and
promised to help her. he at once sent
for Pugh. The young lawyer came and
took charge Of her case.
The poor woman's brother-in-law was
rich, and he employed the best Of coun-
sci, and made every preparation in his
power to defeat her in court and subject
her to still greater oppression. He even
circulated the most slanderous stories
against her, and succeeded in totally de-
stroying her good reputation
This story lindled the soul of Pugh,
and he went to work with fierce deter
mination. to unmask the villain. The
day for the trial arrived. The neighbor.
hood was thoroughly aroused, and the
old court room was crowded with specta-
tors. The sad and dreamy young lawyer
became another mana bold and daunt-
less knight fighting for outraged woman
hood. He arose to SPEAK The silence
was painful. With master hand he
laid before court and jury the work of
the poor woman's oppressor. The per-
jured witnesses withered beneath his
fiery denunciation. Judge, jurors and
spectators bent forward to listen.
As he told of the woman's wrongs tears
filed the eyes of all. Then he turned
from the weeping woman to the author
Of her sorrows. In terrible language be
expressed tho villainy of the man. Sud
denly he faced sthe victim of his scorn,
and pointing his quivering finger at him
exclaimed: "You have stolen from this
poor woman all her property. Not only
this; you have robbed her not only Of her
last dollar, but of what is more precious
than gold---her good name. And now,
with savage hands, you try to tear from
her arms her darling child. In the aw-
full hereafter you should not even be al
lowed the miserable comfort of herding
with the common damned, but in some
lower, deeper hell be compelled, singly
and alone, to howl out an eternity Of
woe"
AS Pugh reached this climax it fell
like bolt of thunder on the ears Of the
guilty man, and he rushed headlong from
the court room. Pugh's reputation was
made. Hewas flooded with clients and
was at once one Of the busiest lawyers in
town .--IIlinoia State .Journal.

Joseph II. Rotherman, carpenter, re-
siding at Connellsville, Pa, has cres-
cent shaped birthmark on the back Of
his neck, which has aroused considerable
curiosity in that vicinity. When the
moon is new Rotherman's mark is hard
ly noticeable, but as Luna turns the first
quarter it begins to turn red and swell.
By the time Of full moon 1t has swelled
into a horn like roll over two inches in
thickness. As the moon wanes the mark
decreases In size and color until it again
becomes blush, crescent shaped mark,
hardly raised above the skin.--St. Louis

For Lazy Card Players.

An automatic card shufier is the work
of an English inventor. Mr. Booth. 10
works thus: A sharp turn to the right Of
either of the two handles places the ma
chine in working order. ThA cards are
then dropped into the slot. The machine
works by itself, and the cards gradually
disappear. When the whole have passed
into the machine the handle Is turned
again in the same direction and thecards
win be brought back to the surface of
the table.
Another pack should then be placed
in the slot, and the shutting process re-
peats itself while the players are dealing
and playing pack No. 1. When the
hand has been played out turn of the
handle brings up pack No. ready shut
fled, and the used pack No. is then
placed in the slot in place of pack No. 2.
This process may be repeated indefinitely.
BY this Arrangement every card changes
its position, passing through the machine
in twenty seconds. Chicago Herald.

Advantage Of BulIdiug Associations,

II may be stated that the associations
are conducted much more economically
than the banks; that they consequently
pay larger dividends; that they can be
successfully carried on in places too
small to support bank, and that by adj
vancing money to members to purchase
homes they provide an immediate In
vestment and give the borrower the
strongcstp ossible inducement to continue
