THE PEAN OF PEACE.

With ever some wrong To be righting,
With self ever seeking for place,
The world has been striving and fighting
Since man was evolved out OF space.
Bold history into dark regions,
His torch-light has fearlessly cast,
He shows us tribes warning in legions,
In the jungle OF ages long passed.
Religion, forgetting her station,
Forgetting her birthright from God.
Set nation to warning with nation
And scattered dissension abroad.
Dear creeds have made men kill each other.
Fair fate has bred hate and despair.
And brother has battlcd with brother
Because of difference In prayer.
But earth has grown wiser and kinder,
For man is evolving o soul;
From wars OF an age that was binder,
We rise to q pcace-girded goal.
Where once men would murder in treason
And slaughter each other, in hordes,
They now meet together and reason,
With thoughts for their weapons, not
swords.
The brute in humanity dwindles,
And lessons as time speeds along,
And the spark of Divinity kindles
And blazcs up brightly and strong.
The seer can behold in the distance,
The race that shall people the world;
Strong men OF u Godlike existence
Unarmed, and with war banners furled
No longer the bloodthirsty savage
Mans vast spirit strength shall unfold;
And tales OF red warfare and ravnge
Shall seem like ghost stories OF old.
For the booming Of guns and the rattle
OF carnage and conflict shall cease,
And the bugle call, leading to battle,
Shall change to pnan OF peace.

COMING WITH A FORTUNE.
A Carpenter Returning from England
With 025O,OO

With $3.50, 200.
SPR1NaFrELD, O., June S.-James Wood,
lately poor carpenter here, is on his
way homo from England a quarter of a
million dollars richer than he left the
city.
The story of his sudden rise from pow
erty to wealth has many romantic fea-
lures. Many years ago his grandfather,
a young English naval officer, lived and
married young girl in Waterford, IRE
land. The marriage was beneath his
social station, and his wife, being of q
spirited nature, did not long bear the in
dignities which the inequality of their
station heaped upon her.
She soon left his homo and came to
this country. Here she found employ
ment to support herself and her child, q
daughter, who afterward became the
mother OF James Wood, now the happy
heir Of the larger portion of the great
Wood estate. The finding of the heir
was through the accident Of friend Sec
ing the advertisement Of the executors o.
the estate. 1900.

MINIATURE WONDERS.
Some of the Great Very Small Thing,
That Havo Been Made.

Some of the Great Very Small Things
That Havo Been Made.
At shop in London in 1745 was ex-
hibited a common Barcelona nutshell
holding tea table, tea board, dozen
cups and saucers, with sugar dish,
bottle, funnel, fifteen drinking glasses,
five punch bowls, ten rummels, q
pestle and mortar and two sets of nine
pins-all Of polished ivory, exquisitely
fashioned, and, according to the &C
count of the time, ''all to be plainly
seen without the aid of optic glasses. I"
This wonder was the work of poor
artist who had hit upon this plan to
make living.
His little exhibition was soon out
done by Boverick, the matchmaker.
For one shilling this last-named genius
would show visitors the half of a COM
mon cherry stone, from which he
would take q quadrille table, twelve
chairs with skeleton backs, a looking
glass neatly framed, two dozen plates.
six saucers, twelve spoons, a dozen
knives and forks, two salt cups and q
lady and gentleman whom he seated ut
the table.
This same Boverick also made an
ivory camel that could be passed
through the eye of a common needle,
six pairs of steel scissors that could ali
be hidden under the wing of a common
housefly and a golden chain O.: two
hundred links to which a miniature
paddock and key were attached, all Of
which were of such minute dimensions
as to be easily pulled across pane of
glass by flea
Later on he produced small ivory
coach to which he harnesscd flea,

much as barley grain; and a crane
necked carriage with wheels turning
properly on their axles, carrying four
passengers, two footmen, coachman
sitting on the box with a dog between
his legs, driving six ivory horses. one
of the leaders bearing position, the
whole affair SO light that this same pet
flea could set it in motion but was not
equal to the task of dragging it across
the showcase.-Chicago News

"Stay in purgatory," she said. "or
else you'll have all those silk dresses so
creased and glazed that they won't do
for Houseman's rag-bagl You only
come back to hear yourself rustic in
silk, you proud huzzy; and Satan can
have no revenge, because you burnt
yourself up here!"
"a great many times" said the child,
would she thus receive her ghostly
visitors. Sometimes they would come
to look over the family jewels, and then
there'd be great fuss, because certain
of Mrs. RS relatives robbed her, and
she acquainted Lucy with the fact"
Once Lucy slapped the witch's jaws, the
sound of which the boy heard distinctly;
and the red print of hand showed
plainly on the pallid old cheek.
Lucy was actually burned alive in
that ngly old square house. She was
burned in her kitchen fireplace, and
only one shoe, inside of which was a
foot, proved that flesh, blood and bone
had persisted there in the pile of black
ened ashes ON the hearth. The kitchen
is now the abode of lights and shades;
and since the witch has been unable to
hire n cook or command one by witch
uncanny occupants; and there the village
folk are willing it should remain.

stop in your walks and see it through
and afterwards treat her at Bittle's

that is, if you did not want to be
''beicitched."
Polly Pockets was q local witch
twenty years ago. No one knows what
became of her. In a certain neighbor-
hood, however, once lived a crow,
which was captured the very day Polly
Pockets appeared in the road on her
annual tramp, which she made through
several counties, filling her capacious
pockets with articles begged as she
tramped. The youth who caught the
crow was Mortified to find that she

witchcraft The belief in witches has
never died out in this vicinity.
The Virginia witches are only poor
scant-garbed, hunger-crazed creatures.
They are usually Of bearded chins and
otherwise hideous. That they possess
power unusual to the human being Is
without doubt. Perhaps it is, after all,
an undeveloped, unconscious germ Of
the occult science, yet to be explained
away.
scarcely comes under any science yet
named. Sally Friddly, living on Potts
creek, Allegheny county, furnishes her
neighborhood with striking story. It
is rather hard to say that the story is
believed, but so 1t is, for the credulity
of the mountaineer, in certain direc-
tons, is altogether limitless.
Sally Friddly keeps behind her closet
door n tow-linen towel It has hung
there for forty years all told.
Now, when Sally Friddly wants n
neighbours COW toyield to her own milk
pail, she puts into said pail silver dol
lar-it may be the long lost dollar of 1904.
Then she goes to the toyS-lined towel
and repeats some such jargon as this:
THE milk FOR her
The cream for me,
Saw, Brownie saw"
Or saw, Daisy" or any name her
neighbors' cows may possess.
She always gets the creaml She is
very considerate and does not take milk
from one COW oftener than once in
every two or three weeks. THIS en-.
ables everybody to fare alike.
There are great many people whom
l know-both white and colored-whc

out first sprinlzling salt around Their
beds. This keeps the witches out. An.
other protection is to set up knife,
fork and spoon at the head of the bed
and, then, so say the sufferers, one car
see tho witch that visits one and tell ex.
actly who it is. Placing bent pins in
the track of a reputed witch is anothe
method of proving witchcraft. If upon
returning In the same tracks she limps,
then the PINS have stuck home in Their
uncanny mission, and she is O witch.
There Is one advantage In being q
witch now, rather than a witch Of 9
hundred years ago. Then one was
tried, duclked or burned. Now one Is
feared, respected, pampered, appeased
and in some instances actually support

THERE is forming in America at pres
ent new race, distinct from all others
on the ealth. 1t is Leirg made up of a
moiety of every race and nation in eX-
istence We note the disappearance of
blondes. 1t is true, they are going, for
the new race is going to he a dark-haired
race, as augmented people always gain
the ascendency where they minglc
equally with non-pigmented people, not
because non-pigmented people are less
able to withstand disease than the
others, but for the same reason that if
you mix white and black the white cam
not preserve its purity. The new one is
to be the largest race of the earth, and
will contain all that is good and some
that is bad of all other races. 1t is to be
grand medley, and the American of
the future will he the representative
man of the world. But we are as yet
just beginning to develop into this race,
which may not be distinctive one be
fore 900 years.

treated by DIR David Phillips, who had
ioked with his associates about the dan
ger of the duty. He was found dead in
bed the next morning from heart fail
ure. Can it be explained?
