Very Mysterious.

Capt. Franklin Miranda died at sea
some time ago, but his cough, it is al
legged, makes merry about the old house
in this town where he use to dwell.
Capt. Miranda was an old resident
well known to the townspeople and re-
spected by them.
The principal avocation of his latter
years was the keeping of hens and nurs-
ing a troublesome cough of peculiar
quality.
About year ago he made a trip to
the Western Islands for his health. On
his return trip he died and was buried
at sea.
The house which he occupied in the
town was On the outskirts-a lonely
place. 1t is plain two-story house,
painted white, but weatherbeaten.
A family by the name of Fuller lives
Of the sounds heard about the place at
night. Mrs. Fuller said to-day:
at is true that we heard coughing
about the house the past summer during
the day and at night, and people who
had heard Capt Miranda's cough say
that the noise heard was a precise imi-
tation off l heard it first in daytime
and afterwards at night. Ny husband
laughed at first until one night he heard
1t plainly.

and he took a light and went down

he discovered no cause.
Finally we moved our bed from the
front room on the first floor to the floor

We heard the coughing afterward, but

The young man, hardly more than q

be removed to 'stage distance" To do
so it was necessary to take him back in
corridor, and there, some 20 feet
from the smiling Judge, who was sur
rounded by crowd of interested
listeners, the boy sang selection from
one of the popular operas in truly ar
tistic manner, and in sweet and tune

told him he had done we'll, and that

Honor to the Brute Creation,

On the first night of Christ life God
honored the brute creation. You can
not get into that Bethlehem barn with
out going past the camels, the mules,
the dogs, the oxen. The brutes of that
stable heard the first cry of the infant
Lord. Some of the old painters rep
resent the oxen and camels kneeling
that night before the newborn Babe.
And well might they kneel. Have you
ever thought that Christ came, among
other things, to alleviate the sufferings
of the brute creation? Was it not a D.
propriate that He should, during the
first few days and nights of His life on
earth, be surrounded by the dumb
beasts, whose moan and plant and bel
lowing have for ages been a prayer
to God for the arresting of their fortunes
and the Fighting of their wrongs? 1t
did not merely "happen SO" that the
been that night in close neighborhood.
Not kennel in all the centuries, not a
birds nest, not worn-out horse on tow
path. not a hard freezing in the poorly
built coW-pen, not freight car in sum

without water through a thousand miles
of agony, not sergeon'e room witness
ing the struggles of fox, or rabbit, or
pigeon, or dog in the horrors of vivi-
section, but has an interest in the fact
that Christ was born in stable sur
rounded by brutes. He remembers
that night, and the prayer He heard in
that pltiful moan He will answer in the
punishment of those who maltreat the
dumb brutes.-Taln1dge.

OUR DUMB ANIMALS.

When 'twixt the drawn forces of night a n

Strange visions steal down to the slumbers of

From Heavens bright stronghold once issued a
warning,
Which batfied all scorn1ng, when brought to

With grief-stricken aspects and wringing of
hands,
Till dreamland seemed filled with the anguish
of ages

And l. who had dreamed that their bliss knew

They answered me sternly, Thy knowledge is
mortal:
Thou hearst not as we must, the plants with

The wrongs that come beating the crystalline
portal:
Inflicted by mortals on those who are dumb.
They crumble to dust; but we. watchers re-

VINO that loves horses has not looked
into their eyes and wished that words
had been given them to express the
intelligence shining there? At last
the wish has been fulfilled. After
voiceless centuries, Black Beauty steps
upon the stage and tells the story of her
long and varied life. In language clear
she portrays her first impressions of
life; her training for work; her secret
thoughts of man and beast. So wildly
is described her love for some and
hatred for other masters, with causes
for the same, that many a reader
pauses to ask himself, (Which do l
merit from the horses | drive?" And
many an impatient jerk and cross word
is spared because of that moments ex-
amination.-Doily News, W1e7lsville, Ohio.

Something IS lost
when you use DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's Catarrh. The worst
cases yield to it's mild, soothing,
cleansing, and healing properties.
No matter how bad your case, or of
how long standing, you can be cured.
Incurable cases are rare. It's worth
$500 to you5 if you have one. The
manufacturers of DR.. Sage's Remedy
are looking for them. They'll pay
you that amount in cash, if they
can't cure you. It's a plain square
offer from a responsible business
house, and they mean it. 1t seems
too one-sided, too much of a risk.
It would be-with any other medi-
cine behind it. 1t only goes to prove
what's been said incurable cases
are rare-with DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy.
Other so-called remedies may pal
late for a time this cures for all
time. By its mild, soothing, cleans
ing and healing properties, it con-
quers the worst cases. It removes
offensive breath, loss or impairment
of the sense of taste, smell or hear
ing, watering or weak eyes, when
caused by the violence of Catarrh,
as they all frequently are.

Noble Norman.

The Princess of Wales is evidently not
to be outdone in acts Of humanity by her
royal mother-in-law. 1t will he remem-
bered, perhaps, that few weeks ago
it was announced in these columns, that
Queen Victoria had given orders that
the over-check rein must be banished
from the royal stables, and that there
must be no docking practiced. Now it
is said that the aforementioned lady,
the Princess of Wales, has given orders
that nothing need be submitted for her
inspection or that of her daughters in
which birds are used as trimmings.
These ladies deserve all honor and
praise for such a noble stand against
cruelty Will not American ladies of
high places put themselves on record
in an equally honorable and noble
manner? Let us not wait for this, how
ever, but each do her little part. Let
us learn to stand alone, if need be, in
all matters which we know to be right.

alone very long. A noble example is

Amid the awful night Of space.
A cold. annihilating blight ~, -,
Upon our fair worlds face
The wonders OF the seasons. heat
And soothing rain, the gentle flowers,
Eecurrent summers, and the beat
OF passion hearted hours
Would be as things not known to earth,
While neither man. nor beast nor bird
Would waken any sign of birth.
Not any song word:
Where souls have vainly throbbed and fought
Where some have conquered, there would be
No dim awakening of the thought
That scorns mortality.
No young spring futtering in the breast
OF the undying dream of life
Love, which is more than other best,
Sweet in its very strife:
hut our wan, stricken star would fly
In darkness like deaths device.
Robed in the winter of the sky
And winding sheets of ice.
