his wife and children. The children
are nearly all boys, and nearly of the
same size. After the services were
over Mr.. Cook collected his family,

After they got a couple of miles from
the church they found that they had

him on the road. Mr.. Cook turned
his team and drove back to the
church in state of mind that can
better be imagined than related, and
to his horror the child could not be
found thereabouts. The neighbor-

instituted which resulted in finding
the little fellow at a Mrs. Jackson's,

The Columbian Tower.

After much uncertainty and dis.

ed that a high tower shall form one
Of the conspicuous attractions of the
exhibition at Chicago in 1898, and
it is eminently satisfactory to note
that the Columbian tower has been
designed by so eminent an engineer
as Mr.. George s. Morrison, of New
York. 1t is stated that the capital
will be furnished by Mr.. Carnegie.
The tower will be higher than Eiffel
by more than $50 feet, and, Mr..
Morrison has been no imitator of
Einel's beautiful structure. There
is not much time to complete the
work, and no doubt many Difficult
ties will be met with both as regards
foundations and the rigorous winter
seasons, but we may feel confident
that American skill and energy will
carry through the work to success
full conclusion by the spring of 1898
Indeed, we are informed that Mr.
Carnegie asserts the work will be
completed in six months after it is
commenced. The wei ght of steel is
5000.

heightens your value to someone
else in case, from slackDess of work
or otherwise, you make change of
situation. The man who knows the
most and can apply his knowledge
the quickest can always command
the highest price, if not in one place
then in another. The man who only
works with the idea of knocking
