LADY CLARE.
BY EMILY VAIL.

The night was wild aud dark without,
The howsing WINS went huFrying DN;
Like a legion OF mtshed wolves was the shout
The air was filled with Their maddening cry.
| But all was quiet and bright within
The princely home of Lady Glare;
| Silken curtains 8, III out the tempestS dih
| Aud soft lights shone on the scented an
| Ii seemed beautiful garden had spre ad
| Der the carpet It's wealth OF beauty and oIoom
| There moses and ferns, and lilies nufSpread
| Showed the cunning device Of an Eastern loom
| Her velvet robes were dark as the night
And swept IN heavy folds tn her ct;
| Her neck and III ms las the marble, were white,
| And the delicate features were wondrous'i
sweet.
| Golden 'reSses and blue violet eyes
From beyond he Northern lakes she had eoin'
A wandering duke i'll an artists gnlSe
| Had found treasure ana brought ii home.
| Pleasure and wine had lured him away,
Tonight, and she Its in her home alope;
/ Her loving lips besanght him to stay
| But his wayward heart went seeking IT'S own
| In creamy satin and frosted lace
Lay their Iosy boy asleep on her knee;
| Long she looked on The babes sweet fare
And mased on.liS future destiny.
| Titles and vast estates one day
| Would be his, and perhaps IN the future afar
Was a kingly eruHil in the distance away
| 1t tSparked aid shone like brilliant star.
| One rosebud hand was clasped In her own
| But wandering away her lone heart went;
| Ii saught again her chlldhoodS home
| Where was smiling plenty and sweet content
| Titles and rank she found not there,
| But God had a seal Of nobility SET
On the manly brOWs OF her kindred fair
Grander than ducai eoronet
| But, oh would this pure inheritance come
| And make swert the blood of her darling boy
| She asked but the voi~e OF the future was dumb

At the rate at which things are
now going, the Koch lymph is in a
very fair way to be listed as the
great cure-all before long. If we
believe the reports, it is to be eff.
cacious in curing all tuberculous
diseases, cancer, leprosy, diphthe-
ria and other ailments. Either
the experimenters have allowed
enthusiasm to run away with judg-
ment or we are on the verge of a
miraculous discovery in therapeu-
tics. We very much fear, how
ever, that the former will prove to
be the truth in the case. At the
present all is uncertainty.

THE CATTLE INDUSTRY,
1t Does Not Pay to Feed With
Corn So High.
From the Paris Mercury

From the Paris Mercury.
We are reliably informed that
there will be fewer cattle fed in
the counties of Monroe, Shelby,
Macon, Randolph, Galloway and
Audrain than have ever been fed
during any winter and spring since
the war, with the exception of the
winter and spring of 'S2. The
winter feed in the above section
will be SO light as to amount
practically to nothing. There will
be considerable sprinkle of spring
and summer fed cattle in Boone
and Audrain, but very few in the
rest of the counties named. Per-
haps the heaviest feed made by
anyone IN the territory mentioned
will be made by E. M. Anderson,
of this county, who is feeding now
and will feed during the spring
four hundred head. His cattle are
located on Youngs Creek in Au.
drain and ON the Two-mile Prairie
in Boone. Three hundred of these
cattle are contracted to go, when
fat, at five cents a pound, and
while MIR. Anderson purchased
most of his corn early at thirty-five
cents a bushel and can make the
cattle make money, we can bu,
believe, with the present outlook,
the cattle are sold somewhat easy.
The average price of corn to-day in
the different states is fifty-two cents
bushel, and If there is no inter.
ruption of the export trade, and il
the dressed beef combine does not
possess more power than we are
willing to concede, the price of fa'
cattle in the near future is bound te
sympathize with the price of corn.
However, the country will decide
whether supply and demand regu
late the market, or whether the
markets are to be entirely in the
hands of the So called dressed bee
combination.

A Mean Man,

From the Newark Sunday Call.
A 6-year-old child with a large
appetite and special fondness for
pancakes and maple syrup arrived
at the breakfast table the other
morning and forthwith demanded
cakes.
"Eat your oatmeal first" said
her father.
"How many cakes can 1 have, -
said the greedy young lady.
The father, who is given to prac.
itcal jokes, cogitated for moment
and then said:
eff you eat one plateful of oat.
meal you can have three cakes; but
if you eat two platefuls you can
have four cakes, and If you eat
three platefuls you can have six
cakes"
The child accepted the arrange.
ment promptly, and one plateful Of
oatmeal disappeared in twinkling;
then another plateful followed
slowly and a third was consumed
with evident difficulty.
| A cake an syrup were then pre-
{ pared. The youngster had beer
growing more solemn every mo
ment, and when one mouthful O
cake had been disposed of sudden
ly roared out in anguish:

I can't eat any cakes at all-boo
