Health officer Dr. McGowan of Los

There are so many baking powders il

that this action of DR.. McGowan in giving
the public reliable and authoritative in
formation as to the brands that are both
economical and wholesome, is most
timely and valuable. a portion of his

UNCLE GEORGES VISIT.

treated him.
But he wasn't. There was moth
ing blue-blooded or princely about
him. He was only plain George
Lewis, rough, hardened old miner
who had gone to the Black Hills
when he was boy and by long
years of toll had amassed fortune.
And now he had come east to en-
JOY visit with his fashionable, but
by no means wealthy relations.
"Mr. Leslie" that gentleman's
wife announced one evening at the
dinner table, "my uncle George,
whom l have never seen, is coming
to visit us within a few weeks, and
he says he may stay month or two,
and may conclude to make his home
with us if"
"Make his home with us?" snort
ed Mr.. Leslie, putting down his cup
of coffee with a vicious jerk. "Well,
Iguess not. l don't object to your
poor relations coming here once in
awhile for few days, but as for one
quartering himself with us for the
rest Of his natural lifetime it's too
much. Haven't l told you
eff it's agreeable" went on Mrs.
Leslie, calmly resuming at the point
where she had been interrupted by
her irate spouse, as though nothing
had happened.
"And he says that he has made a
large fortune and thinks, as he is
over sixty years Of age and in rather
poor health, he wants to enjoy a few
years of rest before he dies"
No stage transformation scene
was ever half so wonderful as the
change that took place on the club
by face of Mr.. Leslie. His gray
side-whiskers fairly bristled with
new found JOY.
But he tried hard to conceal his
change of sentiment. That was di-
plomacy. And one of Mr.. Leslie's
fondest delusions was that he was a
second Machiavelli.
"Well, [ guess we can find room
for him. How would it do to put
him in the front room upstairs
Don't you think it ought to be re.
papered, Mrs. Leslie?" said the
husband.
And, Of course, Mrs. Leslie, who
had been asking for such an i'm
provement for some weeks, eagerly
assented and thanked her stars fol
more than one reason that her un
Gle was coming.
"Won't it be splendid to have
him here?" said Miss Florenc,
Leslie, a rather tall, stately youns
woman, whose ideas ran much t.
society. "Maybe now I'll get tina
pair Of diamond earrings 1 hav
been waiting for SO long"
"He may be such horrid oil
guywe shall all be ashamed Of him,
suggested slangy Miss Bessie, a yea
younger than her sister Florence
Fancy him sitting on our verand
with big SLOUGH hat and his trous
ers tucked into his boots when tn
De Goodleys drive by. How the
will laugh at us!"
"Do you think Uncle Georg
would buy me a pair Of ponies
mammal" queried young Rober
who, though but 9 years of age, al
peared keenly alive to the situation
Uncle George came. He was
very modest, unassuming gentle
man, with bronzed face and tn
quiet ways Of man who has bee
an exile from society for year.
And, strange to say, he was rattle
averse to talking about the famil
history.

he thought he did.
And so Invent down to the young

They even gave a grand party in
honor of the newly arrived relation

were invited. The caterers were

a fine affair.
owe wish to spare no pains to
make our dear uncle feel at home,"
said Mrs. Leslie to her friend, Mrs.
Gordon, that night.
"To make him feel at home"
echoed Mr.. Leslie. at is our aim
to make his last days as pleasant as
possible-you know he is getting
old-for he has seen rough times
out in the west, and has earned a
good rest, I'll warrant"
The fact is this was a trife hyp-
ocritical on the part Of Mr. Leslie.
Truth was he was beginning to get
a little anxious over the fact that
Uncle George was not making any
lavish expenditures of his vast
wealth.
In another part Of the house that
night there was another interesting
little scene. 1t was behind huge
bank Of ferns and palms that the
vivacious Miss Bessie was explain
ing to her betrothed, Frank Jewett,
all about the new-found relative.
"You must be very good to him,
Frank, she was saying. "Ofcourse
[ know he is a horrid-looking old
fellow and dresses like a scarecrow,
and he's as stupid as a stick and all
that; but then he's rich and we all
want to keep on the good side of
him. If it wasn't for that we
wouldn't have him in the house.
"But papa is going to let him
make his home with us, and when
he dies he will surely leave us all
his money. And l wouldn't be a
particle surprised, if we keep in his
good graces, if he would furnish
our house for us from cellar to gar
ret when you and | are married"
Was that a faint chuckle that
came from the other side of the
thick bank Of ferns and palms?
One morning Uncle George failed
to come down to breakfast. This
was not an unusual thing, for Mr.
Leslie's avuncular relative was in
the habit Of taking long morning
strolls, "jest to brace up my appe.
tite a bit" he would explain.
But when he failed to come back
to lunch, to dinner when night ar
rived and still no Uncle George
Mrs. Leslie began to be alarmed
p" | am afraid something has hap
, pened to him." she said to her hus
band. "He is not very well &C
quainted in the city. Who know
, but he may have been robbed an(

So Mr.. Leslie hunted up the chic

: FERROUS disappearance. He describ
} ed the missing man.
"Was the gentleman's right fore

The Girl in the Moon.

Many have read of Bishop Wilkins idea
concerning the ghostly apparition, which
is that the spots so plainly visible when
the moon is at ner full DO not take upon
themselves the forms of an aged man and
a burning brush pile, which is the general
accepted idea, but that they are clear repre-
sensations of two lions fighting, lone with
his tayle towarde the east and the other
with his tayle towarde the west"

ured out something more romantic than

est in deadly combat They have discov-
cred that there is a well defined picture of
a girl on the face of the bright orb 1t is a
profile picture and can be easily discerned
when the moon is full.
When the moon is in the eastern sky the
portrait of the girl appears to be looking
to the north, with face slightly inclined
upward. Just at the upper rim of the vel
low orb you can plainly make out the hair,
back and front, naughty bang concealing
the forehead. Below the ends of the frizzed
bangs, in perfect symmetry with a typical
human face, the outlines of the eyes and
nose may be traced, the latter rather in
distinct. The mouth is very plain, as is
also the chin and neck.
Of course it takes great deal of imagi.

INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel: The OF

INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel: The only sur
prising thing about the result in Rhode
Island is that The republican plurality was
so small. On the heaviest vote ever
polled the plurality for Brown was but a
trifie over thousand. This, too, when
the democratic party was rent by fac
tional strife and with the leading paper
OF the party opposing the ticket. TAX
ing all these things into consideration the
narrowness of the republican victory is a
cause of much congrstulation to the dem
ocrscy of the nation. 1t gives every
reasonable assurance that in November.
when local issues will be out of the way
and the party will be united, Rhode ISL
and's electoral vote will be cast for the
democratic ticket.

Tin

The first cargo of American tin ever
shipped from the west, consisting of 334
pigs, or 10000 pounds, arrived in New
York Wednesday .-Chicago Inter Ocean.
That is certainly the most wonderful
cargo that ever left California. 1t ar
rived in Pittsburg on Dec. IS, 1891, as
"rhe first cargo of American tin" A.
that time it weighed 2. 200 pounds. On
Jan. 16 it arrived in Baltimore, 1.-The
first cargo OF American tin from the
wesi" and weighed $500 pounds. Or
Jan. % it arrived in Cleveland 'the
first cargo o. American tin from the
west" and has grown to 5000 pounds
On Feb. 8 it arrived in Pittsburg
again, "the first cargo of American tin
from the west, produced a. the Temescal
mines" and weighed 400 pounds-hav-
ing shrunk for some reason. On Feb. %
it landed in Pittsburg again, 1.-The first
cargo of American tin from the west" and
weighed six tons. Now it has just ar.
rived in New York and weighs 10000
pounds.
If that first cargo of tin moves around
much more it will have to be sold to pay
the freight. 1t is about time for the or
gsns to have second cargo shipped
from the west. The first has travelled
enough to be retired aud rensioned -
