MERCHANTS TESTIMONY,

Mr.. j. A Byers of the firm of James Byers
& Son, prominent merchants at West Mid
dlesex, Pa, writes for publication:
'1 am very glad to state what has been
done for me by the physicians of the Catarrh
and Dyspepsia Institute, 32S Penn avenue,
Pittsburg, Pa.
"My trouble began about four years ago.
1 had dull pain over my eyes-ringing in
my ears, dropping of mucus into my throat,
hawking and splitting. My throat often felt
dry and sore. In the morning my head and
nose were filed with mucus. It was with
great effort that I could expel it, and it

HARLEM, Ia, Sept. 25.-Two years ago
James Robinson and his son Jasper mys-
teriously disappeared. They had recently
sold their farm and were living with j. X.
Cumberland. When the latter sold out and
went to Missouri, people began talking,
and when it was discovered that the father
and son had some s., 200 on deposit in
local bank, Sheriff Rainbow began to inves-
tigate.
i, Cumberland and his wife were charged
with numbering the men, and were brought
from Missouri to answer for the crime. The
wife and husband were separated in the
hope of confession. The household goods,
clothing and property of the Robinsons
were found in the possession of the Cumber-
lands A constant search has since been
kept up for the bodies of the Robinsons,
but without result. Yesterday cumberland
was called before the grand jury and
searched. Upon his person was found a
written confession of the crime. 1t details

few words have to say?'
eyes, to him and me!'' cried little Juliet,
and gliding from between the two natural
protectors of her girlhood she crossed the
floor and stood by 0rrin's side
This action, so unexpected and yet so
natural, took away whatever restraint we
had hitherto placed upon ourselves, and the
Colonel looked for moment as If his self
control would abandon him entirely and
leave him prey to mans fiercest and most
terrible passions. But he hasa strong soul,
and before 1 could take step to
interpose myself between him and Juliet,
his face had recovered its steady aspect and
his hands ceased from their ominous trem-
bling Her father, on the contrary, seemed
to grow more ireful with every instant that
he saw her thus defiant of his authority,
while Orrin, pleased with her courage and
touched, 1 have no doubt, by the loving
confidence of her pleading eyes, threw his
arm about her with gesture of pride which
made one forget still more his disordered
and disheveled condition.
1 said nothing, but did not leave the
room.
"Julietr'-the words came huskily from
the angry fathers lips, "come from that
mans embrace, and do not make me shud-
der that ever welcomed the Colonel to my
dishonored house.
But the Colonel, putting out his hand,
said calmly:
'eLet her stay; since she has chosen this
very honorable gentleman to be her hus-
band, where better could she stand than by
his side?'
Then forcing himself still more to seem
impassiye, he bowed to Orrin, and with
great suavity remarked: ''If she had
chosen me to that honor, as L had
every reason to believe she had, it
would not have been many more
weeks before L should have welcomed her
into home beftting her beauty and her
ambition. May ask if you can do as much
for her? Have you a home for your bride
in which may look forward to paying her

Do Right for Rights Sake.

Great was the alarm in the palace Of
Rome. The empress had lost her costly
diadem and it could not be found. They
searched in every direction, but it was all
In vain. Finally, it was proclaimed in the
public streets: 1.-The empress has lost a
precious diadem. Whoever restores it
within thirty days shall receive princely
reward. But he who delays, and brings it
after thirty days. shall lose his head"
Among the crowds that thronged Rome's
stately halls and thoroughfares was an
eastern sage, a learned man, who loved
goodness and lived righteous life. 1t
CHANGED one night as he was strolling up
and down beneath the clear moonlit sky
he saw the diadem sparkling at his feet.
He seized it quickly and brought it to his
dwelling, and then, after the thirty days
had expired, returned it to the empress.
what dost thou mean by this?" she in
quired. "Why didst thou delay until this
hourf Dost thou know the penalty?"
IT delayed until now" the sage answered
calmly, 80 that thou might know that l
return your diadem not for the sake of the
reward, still less out of fear of punishment,
but solely to comply with the Divine COM
mand not to withhold from another that
which belongs to him."
BLESSED be thy Godp' the empress an

further reproof.-Dr. Abram S. Isaacs in

The Funny Man and the Car window.

There is often seen on train the funny
man, who likes to wait until the last
minute before shutting his window when
the train is about to enter tunnel The
brakeman comes through the car crying
out in stenorian tones: Shut up your win
dowsp in way that makes some people
start guiltily, for about all one can hear is
the "shut up" and every conscientious
brakeman insists upon adding the sup" to
the shut" However, about the funny
man: He looks scornfully at the believing
brakeman, as if to warn him that it is a
waste of breath to inform veteran travel
Ter that there is a tunnel just ahead.
He knows the road so well that at the
very moment the cars leap into the black
ness of the tunnel his fingers fly to the
window latch. The spring is stiff and the
window sticks. Tugging and pulling and
jerking, with little swearing thrown in,
he finally gets the window down, but for
thirty seconds, while the train has been
roaring through the tunnel, the smoke has
poured into the car and every one is chok-
ing and condemning that man TO place
which is specially unpleasant in summer,
while he puts on an injured look and NUT
tiers severe words about a company that
disgraces itself by having windows in its
cars which will neither go up nor go down.
The funny man never gets tired, how
ever, of trying to show how successfully
he can play his trick.-New York Tribune.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
THE eARDsLEY INQUIRY.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. Ex-Governor
Pattison issued a proclamation this even
ing, convening the senate in extraordinary
session on Oct. H. The preamble sets forth
that grave charges have been made against
the auditor general and state treasurer
most seriously rejecting upon the dis
charge of their official duties; that it is
proper that an inquiry be made to ascer-
tain whether or not, reasonable cause"
exists for their removal; that there is a
conviction in the public mind that they
have been grossly inefficient and entirely
wanting in due fidelity; that if the charges
be established the senate should take ac-
tion looking to the removal of the officials.
1t also sets forth that much of the state
money lost through Bardsley would be in
the treasury if the auditor general and
state treasurer had performed their duties
with fidelity.

Tanning Humminc Birds.

Humming birds are generally supposed
TO be extremely timid and almost untam-
able, but when their confidence is won,
which is an easy matter to those who un-
derstand them, they are very fearless, and
the lovelest little pets in the world. We
tame them nearly every season, and they
come to us anywhere aroundt he place, and
when the doors are open make themselves
perfectly at home, even in the house. A
year or two ago called my wife's attention
to the first one of the spring, as we were
sitting on the piazza, and when l called
him he came at once. and examined each of
Us carefully, and then few off
/ saw at once that it WAS one of our pets
of the previous year, so | went in and pre-
pared small bottle of sugar and water,
and it WAS but few minutes before be re-
turned and at once took his dinner, as he
had been accustomed to. Unfortunately,

who dragged him northward after he had
paid US but two or three visits.-Forest and
