1t was Tuesday that the meeting of
settlers took place at Markham's store.
and all day Wednesday Mary Green
busted herself arranging Johns cloth

John was away most of the day looking
after some business affairs, and Louise
went over 20 the store 10 make some
trifling purchases
Left thus alone, poor Mary had plenty
OF time 20 think over her situation. and
naturally her mind reverted 20 the mast
to the long line OF sufferings that had
fallen % the lot OF herself and loved
ones. and from that TO her child.

longer 90 hold her feelings in check.
the poor woman laid her head down ON
the table where she sat, and gave wav
70 her grief. Long the tears Of bitter
anguish flowed, while her frail form
shook with heart-rcnding sobs.
Arising after awhile she went IN n
little drawer and, unlocking f. tool,
therefrom o picture Of her father

and often in her hours Of sorrow. when
tho days were darkest and her bssrt

truth to become subservient to the exig-

per head of the population in the United
States has decreased from 20 to % dol

than that of any other nation. Taxa

decreased by 10 per cent, while that of
England increased in the same period
by over "a per cent.

ton that the Mckinley bill would kill

I'm contrast to this, look at our board
of trade returns, and we find for the six
months ending June 3Oth, 1891, a total
decrease in our exports to the tune of

natural that our sympathies should lean
toward the side on which our fathers
fought. Our Nothern historians are
beginning to carry this spirit just little

simply say that they have in many cases
