Little woman, rest easy; she'll get we'll.
Now l am ready, Harley"
The moonshiner came forward and
reached out his hands; but, oh! there
was such sorrow in the depths of his
eyes, such unspeakable misery in the
tones of his voice, that the officer said,
as he concealed his weapons:
81 understand the case, Eli. / am
human, hope. I'll go outside with the
men and give you five minutes alone
with your wife and child"
"Thank you. Harley; You need not
fear, for you can trust me. You are a
square man"
Harley closed the door as he went
out; he told his men the situation. A
couple of them said that it was foolish
in him to trust moonshiner; but the
rest agreed that their leader had done
right, They had wives and children at
home.
After the five minutes had passed the
door opened and Eli Bargy came out
with his hat upon his head. There was
trace of sadness about his eyes and a
teardrop or two glistened upon his
beard. Reaching out his hands he
said:
"Put on the irons, Harley. could
have made fight for it; but / didn't
feel like shedding blood-and Allie, my
baby, SO sick"
The irons were placed upon the msp's

SqueakIng Sand.

Singing sands are found in many
parts of the United States, but squeak
ing sands are not so common. There is
only one place in this country where
the squeaking sand is found, and that
is a small plain in South Colorado. The
singing sand emits a musical sound only
when dry, and loses this property on
being dampened. The squeaking sand,
on the other hand, is silent when dry
and squeaks best and loudest when
moistened. The sound it gives forth is
by no means loud, but somewhat re-
sembles the squeaking of an arm
chair. 1t sounds when ru bbed between
the fingers or when PLACID in small
bag and violently struck, but the cause
of the sound is a mystery. Detroit

A Roy,s Thrilling Adventure.

At q sugar mill on the island of Bar
BADGES the men in attendance were
shortening SAIL when native boy, who
did not let go soon enough, was carried
aloft by the great forty-fvefoot sail.
He fortunately had all his wits about
him and managed to get his feet around
bar of the sail and to hold on to the
one above. In this position he was car
ried around, the mill revolving with in
creased rapidity, as the man whose duty
it was to feed it had rushed out at the
first alarm. A cry was raised to choke
the rollers with cane and thus stop the
mill, and this was done at the imminent
risk of breaking some of the machinery
and so releasing the sails altogether;
but, after six complete revolutions, the
mill was stopped fairly cholSed by the
bundles of cane thrust into its jaws,
leaving the sail, to which the boy still
clung, uppermost, and he ninety feet
from the ground. With marvellous
nerve he proceeded to climb down that
perilous ladder and reached the ground,
1t isestimated that he travelled nearly
eighteen hundred feet in his aerial jour
ney, and half that distance with his
head downward. Golden Days.

the deep-set eyes resting upon the tiny
creature in the crib.
The group about the doorway fal-
tered and failed to enter the rude
structure into which their leader had
intruded with drawn revolvers.
1t was a curious scene, one perhaps
which would not have been met out
side of the mountains of Georgia. 1t
was the interior of moonshiner's low
ly cabin. Eli Bargy had been under
suspicion for several months; the little
still had been located in a ravine down
the side of the mountain, and the Off
GERS, after confiscating the plant, had
moved in body further up the noun
tain to arrest the owner, Bargy.
You'll have to come with us, Eli"
spoke the man who stood just inside
the doorway, revolver in each hand.
Eyes, know, Harley. I'll go with
you in a moment. There, good girl,
she'll be all right in the morning." Eli
bent and patted the brown head of the
woman kneeling upon the other side OF
the crib. Then, recollecting himself, he
said as he stood up again with his hands
raised:
81 forgot, Harley; the bady's been
sick, is sick now, and the little woman
is in trouble. It'll worry her to stay
here alone with little Allie
ELI, say good-by and come"
I'm minute, just a minute. Yes, I'll
go. The baby is breathing easier now.

FISHING.
OHIO.

A youth beside the water sits,
The MONDAY sun Is warmly beaming;
His nose and neck are turkey red,
His eye with radiant hope is cleaning.
He watches close the bobbing cork
Advance upon the tiny billows
A jerk, swish, and high above
He lands sucker in the willows,
That's fishing.
fair maid trips the tennis court,
4 dozen eyes admire her going;
Her black and yellow blazer burns
A hole right through the sunsets glowing
She drives the ball across the net,
And into hearts consumed with wishing
She drives dart from Cupids bow;
She'll land a sucker, too. She's fishing
That's fishing.
NV little wife beside me stands
And steals a dimpled arm around me;
A kiss upon my lips-that's bait
Some information to astound me.
Fer bonnet is quite out of style,
Her summer wrap quite past the using;
That lovely one-so cheap at Browns
Is just the one she would be choosing.
That's fishing.
So, whether the game be Ash or men,
The bait be kisses worms or bushes
The place at home, by sunny pool,
or tennis ground at evenings bushes
'l'is the old game the serpent played
With Mother Eve in Edens bowers,
Aud Adams sons and daughters all
viii love the sport to times last hours.
That's fishing.

In Case of sunstroke.

The first thing to be done for sun
struck man is to take him to the cool
est spot that can be found near by-a
we'll ventilated cellar or basement, un-
der a shade tree, or even in the shadow
of building. Then loosen his clothes
ana apply cold water to his head and
spine preferably not ice water-while
the arms, legs and chest may be
bathed with tepid water containing am
monia ar carbonate of soda. The best
position for the patient while this treat
ment is being carried out is lying Gn
his left side, for in that position the
blood win more easily flow from the
head to the heart. The adminisI alton
of any alcoholic stimulant is OF doubt
full safety, and drinks of ice water are
likely to Kill instead of cure. Cold tea
CT coffee is recommended, as is also
lemon juice and water. Hlisters along
the spine are often followed by good
effects. IN. Y. Press

Pathetic Story of an Inscription Over n
Miners Grave. Htf4l
The remote corners of the earth are
not without their pathetic incidents. A
long time ago Harry Blakeslee sought
fortune of gold deep in the mountains
of California. Years rolled by and luck
came Harry's way. He wrote cheerful
letter to his wife, and ended with
dolly, come and see our gold"
But there was a little girl to care for,
and she was sick, and Dolly couldn't
come. So she sent her love and prom
ised to come as soon as possible. After
that young Blakeslee walked many
miles every Sunday to watch the eastern
train and learn of the arrivals during
the week, The eastern train did not
look different from any other. 1t might
have looked little more lonely, per-
haps-anyhow, a sort of lump came in
his throat when the train arrived and
he saw no familiar faces. Then he tried
to forget all and cheerfully sought his
cot among the mountains. Maybe there
would come train from the east some
day that did not look lonely; then there
| would be no lump in his throat but
| kiss on his lips, sweet and tender.
He watched and looked and hoped,
but hoped and longed and watched in
vain. A letter he had written to Dolly
came back unclaimed" But still his
visits TO the train were unceasing. They
became habit to him-a part of his
life. Summer suns frightened the val
leys and winters snow made the noun
tains glitter. Poor Blakeslee made his
weekly trips just the same--going with
lingering hope, returning heartsick
One bitter cold Monday the rough
miners buried his frozen body and
marked his resting place with a slab.
Many summers afterwards a blossom
of womanhood was blown in the camp
by mere chance. Her name was Ger
trude Blakeslee. The miners inquired
of her mother. 81 am told she was
killed in railroad wreck" she an
swered. Then she saw the old slab still
standing and read the simple inscrip-
tion: "Brolxen-hearted Harry" and she
said, "Poor fellow! to have died alone
in the mountainsl'' She scattered a
handful of wild roses on the mound,
and the miners brushed tears from their
eyes, for they knew she was scattering
flowers on her fathers grave. None Of
them spoke as they watched her uncon-
sciously inscribe on the old, weathered
alRb. "Gold costs Arkansas Traveller.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Cows WILL stand much higher feed
ing in winter and yield a good profit
thereby if they have good pasture dur
ing the summer and are given q rest
from grain food.
LET any intelligent person go over

The result will be surprising and will

PROF. SHAW says: Scrub cattle are in
all probability the most expensive lux
ury by far that the farmers of the
United States have to-day. They cost
them more than all the monopolists
combined. Scrub stock is the leech
that sucks away at their prosperity S85
days in the year.
ONE Of the most important things to
do is to take the herd of September and
October mixers and so handle them
during the autumn as not to materially
lessen the yield of milk. In the sta
bles for the winter, with regular feed
and care, good cows will milk for
months, and when grass comes keep on
for weeks.-John Gould
The economists who in the early part
of this century feared growth of pop
ulation which could only be checked by
war, pestilence ard famine took no
cognizance of agricultural chemistry.
Apparently no limit can be placed to
the product that may be put at the dis
posal of man. providing he keeps pace
with the methods of science.
HELPERS, if they have been well kept,
will make better cows when coming in
at two years old. If they have not
been SO grown and SO kept, it is better
to give them a rest year after having

calves to become too fieshy. Keep them

Make an oblong box one foot square

one foot square, to cover the ends Of
the trap. Bore two holes in the middle
Of the box. one six inches from the
side and the other three inches. Make
stick one foot long and drive it into

hold the cross trigger. and . notch at
the lower part to catch to the bottom
side Of the hole it passes through. Now
make trigger about four inches long

strong enough to hold up the two
doors, say an inch square; it must be
three feet long-the length of the trap.
The two end doors must have a groove
to work in, which is made by mailing
two small strips on each end, and then
wider piece over it. Put q staple or
