What can a man do III lie, to keep
his memory green for a hundred
years or so? No question is SO hard
to answer as this, and the history
of most famous men and women con-
tradicts the answer a philosopher
would be likely to give. Two hun
dred and four years ago there died
in England a man whose parentage
was obscure, education almost nc
thing, and whose life had been al
most always under the clouds of
poverty and persecution. Yet this
man, imprisoned for his religion, in
that cofinement produced a book
which is still a model of pure and
clear English, and still published by
thousands and read by millions.
That book was pilgrim Progress, -
OF which Macaulay wrote that after
it had been for generation a trea-
sure in the cottage, the philosophers
and wits discovered that it was a
classic. Pilgrims nowadays, how
ever, do not have such a weary pro-
gress as Bunyan's hero. Though
they travel from one side of the con-
tinent to the other, their pilgrimage
is made delightfully."- easy by the Pull

How Two Painters Became Acquainted

How Two PAINTERS became acquainted.
When in HARLEM, Vandyke called
upon Frank Halls, and without making
himself known said that he was anxious
to have his portrait painted, but as he
was III a great hurry he could spare but
two hours, at the end Of which the pOr-
trait must be done. Halls went to work
and finished it, and Vandyke vas much
pleased. But portrait painting seemed
a very little thing, said Vandyke, and
he asked Halls to change places with
him. Halls did So, and as Nandyke fin
ished his work Halls Rugged him enthu-
s~iastically, saying: You are Vandyke.
No n but he can do what you have
done" And so the two great masters
became acquainted.-Harper's Young

IF WERE FAIR.
LII were fair,

If were fair, I
Ef II had little hands and slender feet: !
II to my cheeks the color rich and sweet 2
Came at a word and faded at a frown;
II i had clinging curls Of FURNISHED brown;
II / had dreamy eyes aglow with smiles,
And graceful limbs, and pretty girlish wiles-
II l were fair, Love would not turn aside.
Lies path, SO narrow, would be broad and
wide,
If were fair!
If were fair!
Perhaps like other maidens | might hold
A true hearts store of tried and tested gold.
Love waits on Beauty, though sweet Love
alone,
1t seems TO me, for naught might we'll atone.
But Beauty's charm is strong, and Love Obeys
The mystic witchery of her shy ways.
If | were fair my years would seem so few;
Life would unfold sweet pictures 10 my view.
If were fair!
If were fair:
Perhaps the baby, with a scream of jOy,
To clasp my neck would throw away its toy,
And hide its dimples in my shining hair,
Bewilder'd by the maze of glory there!
But Ow-Oh shadow of a young girls face;
CncolOr'd lips hat Pains cold finger tracei
You will not blame the child whose wee hands
close,
Not on the blightcd bud, but on the rose
So rich and fair.
If were fair.
Oh, just a little fair, with some soft touch
About my face 10 glory it much!
If no one shunn'd my presence or my kiss,
My heart would almost break beneath its
bliss.
'Tis said each pilgrim shall attain his goal.
And perfect light shall food each blinded soul
When days flush merges into sunsets bars,
And night is here. And then beyond the stars
shall be fair.

HOW'S
Your Liver?

Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con-
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-
gested, poisoning the
blood; frequent headache
ensues; a feeling of lassi-
tude, dependency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de-
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on earth.
1t acts with extraor-
binary power and efficacy.
NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED.
AS a general family remedy for ~dyspepsi
Liver, Constipation, ETC., l hardly ev
lse anything else, and nave never been di
appointed in the effect produced; it seems
,e almost a perfect cure for all diseases Of Il

The Farms of the Future.

ado you not think, Senator, that tue
tendency of she times is toward small
farms rather than large ones?'
"No," replied Senator Casey (of North
Dakota), 81 do not. Think everything
points to expansive farming. The farms
of the future in this country WILDE large
ones rather than small ones. Farming
becomes more of a business every year,
and the probabilities are that from now
on farming will be one of the best paying
industries in the United States. The
day of cheap lands is passing away.
There is very little unoccupied Govern
ment land left which is worth anything,
and the day has come when the prices of
cereals must rise and the people must
pay the farmers what their products are
worth. The increased consumption of
wheat the world over averages forty
million bushels every year, and this in
crease will go on. The time will come
when there will be less wheat than the
world wants, and prices will have to go
up to induce the farmers to raise it.
As it is now it does not pay to raise
wheat in most parts of the United States.
The State Board of Agriculture for Ohio
lately investigated the matter and found
that it costs $50 per acre to raise wheat
in that State, and the Secretary of the
Board of Trade of Toledo made a similar
investigation and found it cost $40 per
acre to raise wheat in Southern Michigan.
We find that it costs US about So per
acre for all the wheat we raise in North
Dakota, and you cannot get the farmers
to raise wheat In Ohio until you pay them
a price that will net them a good per-
centage over the $40 that it costs to raise
it. | look for the time when wheat will
be S1.50 a bushel, and even at this rate
it will hardly pay to raise it insome parts
of the Union."--NeaD York Herald.

Cattle-thieves are annoying the ranch
ers Of Wyoming TO such an extent that
one of the latter predicts that something
in the nature of a civil war will occur
unless the depredations are stopped Says
Senator john Durbin, of Cheyenne, who
until recently had very large interests in
the State: Few people realize the ex-
tent of the Depreciation by these fellows.
They are SO many, powerful, and daring
that they are driving the stock-raisers
away and running the Territory. Moth
ing can be done with them. I have been
a stock-riaser in Wyoming for twenty
three years. I have had $3.50, 900 in
vested in cattle at one time in that State,
but | have suffered fearful loss from these
cattle-thieves, o r~ustlers, as they are
called. Their depredatioEs have been
so great that the cattle business has
ceased to be remuneratiye. These thieves
now outnumber the stock-raisers. / have
actually been driven out Of the State by
thece ~rascals, and have marketed all my
cattle without waiting to get them in
good condition. I have been compelled
to close my business there and leave.

WELL.

If he would only come back! She
thought she would be kinder to him and
they would be happy. Would they? She
was not quite sure, for she did not feel
certain that she could ever love him
suppose they should marry, and Sam,
poor, sensitive, loving fellow, should
learn for certain that she did not care
for him as he did for herr He had not
believed it before. But Sam was gone,
and it was not likely that she would
ever see him again. Ever if he should
come back, and asked her to be hiswife,
could she be wicked enough to accept
him? And poor Hattie bowed her ach-
ing head on the cool stone and sobbed
bitterly.
A tall young man, IN tsstore Clothes
came along the road, whistling softly.
Hesaw the detected figure by The spring,
and his heart leaped.
"Hattie! is it 20, honey2"
aSaml oh, saml" And then she was
in his arms, and his kind, honest voice
was whispering sweet, passionate words
in her ear. He had tried to stay away,
he said, but could not. He had to come
back and see her once more; and
ssiIattie, darlin' will yo' come nowa I
cyarn't gilt long, nohow, 'thous yeh.

yeh. Will yo' come, honey2'
The girl did not answer at n c There
was q battle, and a hard one going on in
that true little beart, and Hattie's better
self was winning. Presently she choked
back the sobs and looked tearfully up
into the kind, brown eyes which gazed
at her SO longingly-and her battle was
won.

Miss Alice Rideout, the young Cal

figures for the Woman's Building of the
Worlds Fair, Chicago, ILL.,, had a novel
introduction to the art in which she has
since become so proficient. She was
walking in San Franz SEQ with her bio
dog when the animal jumped into the
open door of Rupert Schmid's studio
and upset a recently finished model.
Miss Rideout fastened in to apologize,
and finding no one there set to work
with her limited knowledge Of art to re.
pair the damage done. So successful
was she that when the sculptor entered
he recognized her talent and persuaded
her to learn modelling.

The depreciation of farming lands in
England has gone 50 far, asserts the
Boston Caticdtor, that in many localities
they are worth only half what they were
twenty years ago. The low price of
wheat, and competition with other
countries in meat and other food
products, is responsible for much of this
decrease in price, though part of it is due
to a succession of bad seasons. The
United States now leads all competitions
III wheat production. But it is certain
that after a few more years American
increase in population will take all the
wheat we can grow. When that time
comes, not only English but other wheat
growers will share in the increased
prosperity of farming that must every
where prevail.

SUN SHADOWS

here never was success so nobly gained,
Or victory so free from earthly dross,
But, in the winning, someone had been
panied
And someone suffered loss.
There never was SO wisely planned q fete, :.
Or festal throng with hearts on pleasure
bent,
But some neglected one outside the gate
Wept tears Of discomfort.
There never was a bridal morning, fair
With Hopes blue skies and Loves un-

For two fond hearts, that did not bring de-
spair
To some sad other one.
