without a Parallel,

At the close of the second term of the
late Willard Salisbury OF Delaware in
the United States senate the caucus
which was called to nomi(ate his sue
eessor was curiously divided in its pref
erences, There were thirty members
present, yet no other names than those
of the three Salisbury brothers were
mentioned. Fourteen were for Willard
Salisbury, fifteen were for Cove Sauls-
bury, and one was for Eli Salisbury.
Political history in this country shows
no parallel to this remarkable circum-
stance. Willard was the most bril-
liant, but physically wrecked. Cove had
been governor and had made enemies
by his appointments. The chances of
Eli were the best, and in the end he
won although the fight was a stubborn
one. and estranged the three brothers
for a time. Boston Herald,

Big Fish Stories.

Perhaps the largest fish ever taken
by rod and line was a tarpon that a
lady captured in Florida about year
ago. This aquatic monster measured Z
feet inches in length and 4 feet in
girth, and his weight was 205 pounds.
The same lady caught several other fine
specimens of the tarpon weighing from
IT'S to 145 pounds. 1t seems that the
gallant fish could not resist the bait
that lady bangles before their noses,
for three other ladies are mentioned as
having landed big fellows weighing
from 100 pounds upwards. Of all the
tarpon caught with rod and line at Fort
Myers, Fla, last season, no fewer than
rs weighed upward of 100 pounds each.

would not soon tire of such heavy sport.

became cold and silent the moment he
Joined them. He had tried very hard
to gain their good will, but everything
he did only seemed to make matters
worse.
Sitting by himself in his room, or
wandering off alone in the woods, he
had many times pondered over this,
with very sore heart. What was
wrong with him2 What had he done to
offend them? Now he understood.
He hesitated moment, drawing his
rough red hand over his eyes, then
without knowing very clearly what he
meant to do he pushed his way
through the hazels and stood before the
party.
Instantly silence fell upon the group.
Those who had been talking against
him looked a little uncomfortable;
for there was something in the boys
face which they had never seen there
before.

to think only of his friend even at that
terrible crisis.
But he would not fail! He set his
teeth grimly and battled on. Denzil
could hear his breath come in sobs,
and see the suffering in his wild eyes,
and drawn features.
"Oh, Caleb!" he cried, you are kill
ing yourself for me-"
It-is-tough," came the gasping re.
ply, "but I'll do it."
Those who watched them breathless-
ly from the bank above many times be-
lieved the boys lost, as the yellow
waves rose over their heads and hid
them from sight. But the next moment
they would reappear, and the hope
would be renewed in the anxious hearts
of the spectators.
Poor, dull Caleb! They will never
laugh at you again. Everything was
forgotten in love and admiration for
the gallant boy struggling for the life
of his friend in the clutch of the flood.
How they hung upon every stroke of
that strong right arm! How they
groaned and wcpt as they saw him
growing weaker and weaker, moving
slower and slower. Yet he still held
on.
"One more stroke! Another! Hurrahl
Saved;-saved!"
Caleb heard the words as in dream.
He felt his feet touch the ground
Eager arms seized him. There was a
wild, exultant cry. Some one called
his name; then he knew no more.
When he came to himself again he
found that he was lying upon the
ground, his head supported upon Den
zils knee, while around him stood boys
and girls, men and women, some she'd
ding tears, and all talking together like
crazy creatures.

"And l." cried Mollie, sobbing, ooh,

When the flood subsidized it was found
that only the lower portion of the
house had been damaged. The upper
rooms were still habitable. At Dcnzil's
request, the party remained at Mill
Farm, and three days later an open air
feast was given in honor of Caleb Orion,
and every one there heartily agreed
with Denzil when he concluded a neat
little speech with the words:

Deafness Cannot DO Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach

only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies, Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets inhamed you have arumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out

Caleb saw the slight figure of his
friend standing upon the point Of

boiled and Numbered above him.
Without a moments hesitation, Caleb
plunged into the water, which rose to
his armpits, and battled his way toward
the rock. Selling Denzil around the
waist, he drew him down, and, support
ing him by one arm, struck out for the
high ground. The water had now
risen above the boys heads and they
could only hope to escape by swim

saved himself by abandoning his

ideas came slowly into poor Calebs'
brain, they stayed, once there. He had
resolved to rescue Denzil and he would
do it,
AS the minutes went by the terrible
strain began to tell upon Caleb's
strength. In order to keep Denzil's
head above water he was swimming on
his side, overland, which with Denzil's
weight forced his own head under at
every stroke. Moreover he was bleed

FriendShIu,

Friendship is one of the greatest boons
that life can have. AS Bacon says, st
redoubleth joys and cutteth grief in
halves" But where brotherhood is
united with it it attains a still richer
result; for then it has a world of
memories and early associations in COM
mon-the mutual love of the same
honored parents, the recollections Of
the same beloved home and past scenes
wildly impressed on the minds of both,
in which no other friend, however dear,
can possibly share Farm and Firesids.
