THE TRICK or \ THAMP.

One DAY Tramp started cut from the
North.
Oh, rollicking chap was hel
Who said, with grin. as he sailed forth,
I'm booked for a trip to.sea"
He took with hiri budget Of rimes
An ode to Beautiful Snow"
And an icicle, toe, on which to chew
When his spirits were getting low.
He passed by the sign of the Great White
Bear"
And the wonderful "Dipper," too,
And heading straight for the Southern
Cross"
His roisiest bugles blew;
And along the coast the seamen all
Made everything snug and tight;
For they said, at noon: by the great horn
spoon,
There'I be big storm tonight?
But the people in town, grown weather
wise,
In quiet serene rePosed,
And put no blankets upon their belS
And left their windows uncloSsd.
For they read the newspapers every day,
And plainly as plain could be,
1t was there set forth, that the storm from
the North
Would kick up row at sra.
But who can tell what Tramp will do?
Or, who can Copend upon
The will or the way Of a vagraut soul
When it once decides to moveou;
And through Baffins Bay, aud through Bsh-
ring Straits,
Through Greenland and Labrador,
This frosty soul, from sthe Great North
Pole,
Came down with rush and a roar;
And lust as he reached the Atlantic coast
With myriads Of vessels lined,
He paused for breath, AMI then veered
around,
Because he had changed his mind.
And down on that town cams sieet ami
snow,
And tempest that ravei AMI tore
With howl an a whir, as if they wero
A pack of wolves at the door.
Sam-bangl went the shutters on every
street:
Slani-bang! Crea;-creak Chp-c,s?
Or. it was no wonder that half the folks
Were rouse from theif incest nap.
They found it hard to believe their ears;
They scarce could believe their eyes;
And thew shivered and shook, AM some tims
it took
To recover from their surprise.
And that horrible Tramp laughed long and
LOUD,
And vhstled with fiendish glee.
And up and down through the storm swept
town.
There were none so merry as ne.
For he'd p'ayel a trick on the weather
wise.
And bothered them, great and small
And in spite of his word I've lately heard
He never went to sea at all!
-.Jcsepiine Pollard, in the Iadepsngent.

laughed and soon the two strollcd oil
toward Harry's yacht.
The young girl just around the corner
of the house from where they had been
sitting clasped her hands tightly to-
gether, pressed her lips, and an angry
flush spread over her face. Then the
righteousness of the whole thing came
over her, and she su lied, in spite of the
hurt that would make itself felt.
That night there WAS a hop at the
hotel, aud Robert Evelyth was surprised
to see his friend Harry devoting himsel!
to the very girl he had sneerei at that
afternoon.
Eleanor was dazzlingly beautiful that
night. She was dresse in pure white,
her cheeks were flushed, heI deep brown
eyes shone with happy light, aud her
lips were parted in a smile as she circled
around the room with Harry for a part
ner.
"Ah, she has always loved him, y
thought Robert, bitterly. "Aud Harry
loved her, l believe, before her father
failed. Poor grill How little she knows
that ne Is triAing with her, tlc scoln-
drel'
After the waltz Harry aud Eleanor
promenaded slowly up and down the
hall.
'I have not seen you for two years,
he said.
"No, not since papa died. You have
been abroad. DID you enjoy sight
seeiug3" she replied.
Immensely, though Paris suits me
best to live in. You use to like Italy y
eyes, and Italy has served me to good
advantage. have pupils in singing and
Italian, you know"
Harry WINGED a little. She was so
beautiful and charming that he had al
most forgotten.
Besides. if he did amuse himself now he
might be forgiven, for he used to know
her SO well. He had fanciei himself
quite in love. She had served for all his
ideals, except for her absurdity in being
independent of her relatives.
Robert watched them and sighed. He
had long loved Eleanor, but his io7tune
was so small compared with Harry aud
Eleanor deserved so much tina. be ha /
decided to withdraw fro thc list of
suitors. If she could win Harry back
there was nothing for him to DO but
bear il.
The days went on. She was By far
the most charming and the cleverest
Girl at the hotel. No amateur theatri-
Gals we're successful without her, nor, in
fact, was anything undertaken unless
she would help.
As the season drew to a close Harry
was her constant cavalier. She accepted
his devotions with a smile, and he had
almost come to the conclusion that it did
not matter after ALL If he should marry
her. it would only be restoring her to
her rightful position.
On the last night tho guests had
arranged for an impronptu entertain
ment. Eleanor was in demand on every
/ hand.
Between a farce and piano solo she
stole out 10 the piazza to sit moment
in the cool night air. Some one stood
before her-it was Harry.
81 have come to tell you, Eleanor, that
cannot let you go without telling you
l love you"
There was no answer. He took
courage from her silence and sat down
beside her.
"Dearest, you are so beautiful And
YOU love me, do you nota"
"No," she said in alow, distinct voice
"Nol"
He started back in amazensnt.
"Why! l thought used to think
you know we used to be-
eyes; before my father diei. know
we were good friends. That is all.

Tbiuk, the sent.nce Is severe.

George R. Vending, the Washington
lecturer, registered at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel yesterday. He lectured in Wilkins
burg last evening. He had just read that
the proprietors OF the Beaver Star had been
fined 5000 apiece and sentenced six months
to Jail. Mr.. Vending thought the sentence
was very unjust, and he thinks it will take
Governor Pattison about five inmates to
pardon them. Politics, he says, are little
slow in Washington, owing to the illness of
Speaker Crisp. The Cleveland people are
watching developments closely to see that
Hill doesn't tramp on their candidate.

VERY FINE FIGURING

THE APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE
Finally Passed by Vote That Was Prac-
tically Unanimous
MINOR MATTERS In COMMON COUNCIL

A special meeting of Allegheny Common
Council was held last night to consider the
appropriation ordinance and other business
received from Select Council The appro-
priation ordinance was the most important
measure acted upon, and it was passed as
received from Select Council without alter
alton. The total of the appropriations is
81, ,775. The tax levy is mills city tax,
$40 of a mill for interest on sewer bonds
and mill business tax.
When the ordinance had been read Mr..
Koehler wanted to know if: after the crdi-
nance was passed, there would have to be
any increase in any of the appropriations
He thought that the market clerk and con-
stable should have more salary, and perhaps
others, and if awhile they were raised he
wanted the salary appropriation to be large
enough.
Mr.. Gerwig said that there has been talk
of a revision of the salary list, and if the
revision is made some unnecessary clerk
ships could be abolished and those entitled
to more would get it. The one would
balance the other
Objections of One Councilman.
Mr. Nesoit remarked that he thought
passing this ordinance was throwing dust in
the eyes of the people. 1t is making pro-
vision to pay expenses on q 9 mills tax
when it could not be done. The contingent
fund is only little over 81, 900 and there
is already Sos, 600 to come out of it. There
would be no contingent fund to hammer at
and the appropriations are all going to run
short he intended to vote against the
ordinance.
The ordinance was passed finally without
further remark, by vote of So ayes to 2
nays, Messrs. Nesbit and SchondeImyer
voting nay.
The other measures passed finally were:
Ordinances, authorizing an abatement of
the assessment against property holders for
the grading and paving of East Ohio
street, authorizing the payment of
81, ,315 to the heirs of William Bender in
settlement of claim for damages; for the
grading of Division street; regulating the
receipt of and accounting for moneys of the
city; resolutions awarding the contract for
four steel boilers for the Howard street
pumping station to James Mcneil & Bros.
at So, $50, and awarding the contract for a
retaining wall of Perrysville avenue to
Joseph Hastings at 81, 126 %.

Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
remedy. It builds up the system, regulates
and promotes the proper functions, and re-
stores health and strength. It's legitimate
medicine, not a beverage; purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless, and made especially for
woman's needs. In the cure of all "female
complaints, f" it's guaranteed to give satisfac-
tion, or the moneyis refunded. No other
medicine for women is sold SO. Think of
that, when the dealer says something else
(which pays him better) is "just as good"
"Times have changed" So have methods.
The modern improvements in pills are DR..
Pierce,s Pleasant Pellets. They help Nature,
instead of fighting with her. Sick and ner-
vous headache, biliousness, costiveness, and
all arrangements of the liver, stomach and
bowels are prevented, relieved, and cured.

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
soME FACTS ABOUT THE WROUGHT IRON
RANGE co, OF ST. LOUIS.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE WROUGHT IRON
RANGE co. OF ST LOUIS.
The Ohio Farmer, an agricultural
paper published at CleYelaud, Ohio.
says: Among the many new advertise
meDts in this weeks issue of The Ohio
Farmer will be found one with i!ustra
ton of the Home Comfort Range
manufactured only by the Wrought
Iron Range Co. of St Louis, No. This
company, established in 1864, is the
largest range mandatory in the
world, and has psip-up capital OF
$500, 900 90; its stability and standing
IN the commercial world is beyond
question. Some idea may be had as to
the amount OF business done By it, con-
sidering the following figures for
moment: In making Home Comforts
there are used annually 225, 900 pounds
OF copper, 5000. 900 pounds of finest
quality of open hearth steel, 40, 900, 900
pounds of the best malleable iron that
can be made, 1925, 900 pounds of
CRATES. red Plates aud fire lining, $50,
600 worth Of abestu,s mill board, So
600 worth OF rivets and $4,000 worth of
bolts. In their making and sail there
are employed nearly 1900 men, mostly
men of families receiving prompt and
LIBERAL compensation for their services,
many of them for years trusted and
faithful employees and enjoying the
confidence of the company to the fullest
extent. The pay roll reaches the enor-
nous sum OF nearly $1,000,000 per
annum. The factory and offices cover
an entire block, giving the floor space
of $4,000 square feet, making it the
largest establishment of its kind IN the
world. So great is the demand for
Home Comforts that this immense fac
tory is taxed to its utmost capacity to
nil Us orders. 1t is not always what
the manufacture says of his goods that
sells them. but what others say as TO
their merits. This accounts for Home
Comforts finding their way to Europ-
can, african, Australian, South Amer
lean markets and in fact all over the
earth. The family size ranges are sold
only from wagons owned by the COM
pany, and should any Of the statesmen
be in the county do not let them pass
without examining and seeing the
many points of superiority of the
ranges both in workmanship and ma
terial used in their construction.
Every range is fully guaranteed.
