OBEYING INSTRUCTIONS.

Youths Companion.
"If you are always accurate, faithful,
true to the fact, if you try to give in
miniature representation of what your
eyes really behold, you will be always
in the right way. Do you understand
what 1 mean, Harry" said the father,
recently.
"Yes, papa, think do"
Not long afterward Harry invited his
father to come and see the picture of a
mountain. 1t consisted of considera-
BILE quantity of sand and gravel shovel
ed around and upon the projections of
rough boulder in the back yard.
"You have not quite caught my
meaning, Harry, though you are very
conscientious" said the father, jocular-
ly. "It's magnificent, but it's not art
You should not use the materials of
your original in copying it. That would
be to make model You must try to
draw picture of what you see; draw it
with pencil and paper, and colors, too, if
you like. Don't draw anything you
don't see. l dare say that is the easiest
way of telling you the sound artistic
rule"
Soon Harry come back with his draw
ing pad.
"Here's picture of pigeon, papa"
"Pigeon! L don't see any pigeon.
Why, there is nothing but straight up
and down line and two others meeting
it at right angles"
"Well, papa, that is the corner of the
fence. The pigeon went around the
corner just when l was going to begin.
You told me not draw anything l
couldn't see."

Pats Great Wonder.

We are surrounded by dangers all the
way from the cradle to the grave. THE
great wonder is" as Pat says, ''that after
getting out of our cradle, we live long
enough to reach our grave" Thousands
are out of health-morose. morbid and
miserable, because they do not avail
themselves of the remedy within easy
reach of them. DR.. Pierce's Golden Dis
covery would cure them. For all chron-
ic or lingering coughs, weak lungs, spit
ting of blood, bronchitis, shortness of
breath, asthma and kindred ailments, it
is a most potent remedy. 1t cleanses
the blood, invigorates the liver, improves
digestion, and builds up both flesh and
strength. Dose small and pleasant to
taste. Large bottles, one dollar. Of all
druggists.

WAR RuMoRs AND PATRIOTISM.

WAR RUMoRs AND PATRIOTISM.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
One thing rumors of war have done
during the last year for which we may
be thankful is the production of very
potent proofs of the common patriotism
of all the United States. When Italy
snarled last spring, from every corner of
this country came the response of loyal
men ready to fight for the Stars and
Stripes. 1t is true, it never came very
near fighting, but the disposition of all
sections of the country to resent a
national insult was shown in unmistak
able shape. Similarly, since Chile's at
titude has raised another war cloud our
patriots have made themselves heard.
One feature of this demonstration re
veals the latent power of this nation
upon the sea. The naval department
has been overwhelmed with offers from
vachtsmen and vessel owners rendering
their ships and services to the United
States in case of war. Commodore
Watt, of the American Yacht Club, for
instance, has offered his feet steam
Yacht. Golden Rod, to the Government
to be used as torpedo beat. Other
equally available craft have been ten
dered for use as torpepo cruisers, trans
ports, colliers and dispatch boats in the
event of war with Chilli. This is the
sort of support our Government should
receive, and is far better than clustering
talk. If the war scare produces nothing
worse than an exhibition of widespread
patriotism in our beloved land we may
be thankful.

That's very strange" he remarked.
whats the reason, do you imagine?"
asked his companion.
Here comes a boy. I'll ask him;"
and the journalist spoke to the boy:
"Fine apples you have for bad year"
be said, with an air of freedom and ac-
quaintance with the facts. Where do
you sell them, mostly?"
MOSTLY don't sell 'em. Make cider"
"Ah, they are cider apples?"
Course; couldn't make cider if they
wasn't"
"Very true. BY the way, my boy, l
notice one tree over there hasn't an ap-
pie on it. Do you know why that is?"
Il think So"
"Well, my friend here and are little
curious, and would like you to tell us if
you will"
Certainly, sir. It's cause it's plum
tree mostly"
The man of inquiring mind did not
pursue his questioning.

If You Had q Friend

kbout to visit some section of the
country where malarial disease, either
in the form of. chills and fever or bilious
remittent was particularly rife, what
would be about the best advice you could
give him? We will tell you-to carry
olong, or procure on arriving, that potent
medicinal safeguard, Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters, known throughout malaria
plagued regions, here and in other
countries, as the surest means of dis
arming the miasmatic scourge, and rob-
bing it of its fell destructive influence.
Not only does it fortify the system by
increasing its stamina, but overcomes
irregularity of digestion, the liver and
the bowels, and counteracts the unfavor-
able effects of over-exertion, bodily and
mental exposure in rough weather, or
occupation too sedentary or laborious,
loss of appetite and excessive nervous
ness. The functions of alimentation,
bilious secretion and sleep have in it a
most powerful and reliable auxiliary. At

pARocHIAL SCHOOLS ABSORBED.


Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The absorption of the parochial schools
of the Roman Catholic church in Fair
bault, Mimi. into the public school
system of that city is an interesting ex-
pertinent in view of the supposed hostile
feeling entertained the public school
system by the Catholic church. it will
attract special attention from the fact
that it has the sanction of Archbishop

osition was made by Rev. James j.
Conry, priest, and was as follows: "ln
consideration of 81 L agree to place
under the management and control of
the board of education of the city of
Fairbault the school building and all its
equipments, at present known as the
parish school of the Immaculate Con
ception church. with the grounds upon
which the school building is located. the
same to be used by said board for edu-
cational purposes under such conditions
as that board may determine to be for
the best interests IF all concerned"

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES
Some are Funny and Some are Not.
DIR. FRANKLIN's CODE OF MORALS

DR. FRANhLlNS ) CODE OF MORALS.
The following list of moral virtues was
drawn up by DR.. Franklin for the
regulation of his life:
Temperance-Eat not to fulness;
drink not to elevation.

FORBIDDEN TO WALK ON THE SIDEWALK.
The Chicago Mail.
Stone sidewalks are unknown in
Maine, remarked..a drummer from, Port
land at the Palmer House recently.
Pine is too plenty and stone is too
scarce to permit even the best towns of
Maine to enjoy such evidence of me-
tropolitan greatness. At Bath a few
weeks ago an Indian woman who weigh
ed about 800 pounds broke through a
pine sidewalk twice and the town Off
cials were panic stricken. The street
commissioner Immediately sought the
mayor and informed that dignitary, that
a leviathan female had invaded the
peaceful precincts of Bath. who was
converting the sidewalks into kindling
wood to the certain damage of the town
and prospective damage to herself.
'If she breaks through the walk
again." said the commissioner, "she may
break her leg and the city will ,be re-
sponsible for damages. What is to be
done?"
"Why not arrest her for the malicious
destruction of property?". suggested the
Mayor.
1--WE couldn't Prove the, malicious in
tent to destroy"
"Then why not take her to jail for
disorderly conduct and creating a dis
turbance?"
"We would have to show that her
conduct was not only disorderly, but
also that she was willfully disorderly;
she has not been warned to desist from
her present course"
"Then, by jingo, I'll do it. I'll issue
a proclamation prohibiting the old girl
from walking on our sidewalks. If she
wants to visit Bath she'll have to walk
in the middle of the streets hereaftersor
take the consequences"
And he did it. The woman was
served with a notice that the city of
Bath would not be responsible for any
damages which might result thereafter
from her walking on the sidewalks.

Cleveland Leader.
Now that Sherman has been chosen

succeed Henry B. Payne.

PUBLIC OPINION.

HOW THE GAME WILL BE PLAYED.
Cleveland Leader.
The Republican leaders must not think
that if Hill means to seize the electoral
vote of New York without risking an
appeal to the people of that State he will
show his purpose before the meeting OF
the Democratic National Convention.
If the Legislature of New York were to
pass an act at its regular session this
winter providing that it should choose
the electors from the State, the Demo
Gratis of the rest of the country would
feel in no way obliged TO consider the
claims of New York candidates. Then,
in spite of the admiration which HilIs
deviltry would win for him, Cleveland S
friends in other parts of the country
might prevent or render doubtful the
nomination of any other man from the
Empire State, even if they could not
put Grover the FAT back in his old
place at the head of the Democratic
ticket. Hills plan will doubtless be to
pose before the nomination of the Dem
ocratic candidate as the only man who
can carry New York; and then, if he
should capture the nomination, he could
have his puppet, Flower, call a special
session of the Legislature to give him
the electoral vote of the State. The re-
sources of this trickster are as great as
his conscience is feeble, and there will
be constant danger of unprecedented
moves in his game of political robbery
until after the next President shall have
been elected.
