No one disputed my possession Of
the shanty out OF respect for nv
past intimacy with the dead gambler
In a few weeks my service with Uncle
Sam ceased. ThenI went at midnight
to the shanty and unearthed the iron
pot, and sure enough the large
amount Of money in bills was in it as
represented. Packing it all in small
hand satchel, the break OF day found
me slowed snugly away in the rickety
old stage bound eastward. Then fol-
lowed an anxious period during the
journey OF 5000 miles; every person
that approached me was imagined to
be q robber. Would the Journey and
this terrible suspense never end?
Yes, down in a pleasant New Eng
land town was found tho wife and
child, living in an humble cottage, the
poor woman working day and night
to furnish bread. =
In a bare, but neat and tidy, parlor
delivered the husbands letter to the
poor wife, who had thought herself a
widow these many years, and had re-
manned faithful to the man who so
cruelty deserted his young wife and
child. She read every word, the tears
flowing in streams the while; then,
raising her sweet face with a pitiful
look l shall hever forget, walled forth:
"Can this be all true, sir? Can this
be the end? Dead, dead, dead! And
you have brought me money! Oh,
take it away, sir! l do not want it!
Only bring him back to me alive-and
l thought him dead all these years."
Then was 'recited a piuiful tale, how,
meeting with repeated business fail
ures, the young husband had disap-
peared as all supposed, to meet a
suicides grave. The broken-hearted
mother picked up the young child
that had stood in open mouthed

A Hint to People Who Use Lamns.

A Hint to People Who Use Lamps.
Policemen and firemen are frequent
ly called into private houses to put
out exploding lamps or clothing that
has caught fire from an accident of
the kind. When a lamp is blazing
ceiling high it requires considerable
nerve to take hold OF it and hurl it
out OF the window, but that is the
simplest and best way to prevent
disaster. If that is possible, or if the
burning oil has got on the carpet or
table-cover, a shovelful ofsand or, fail
ing sand, Of common SOIL will general
ly do all that is necessary. The
same. applies to anyone whose cloth
ing is covered with oil and on fire. If
he can lie down and have some soil
shovelled on his clothes the fire will
go out instantly, whereas a dozen
buckets OF water would hurt him
much worse than the fire. A bucket
OF sand standing in cupboard in a
room where coal-oil lamp is burned
is good precaution, and may check
at the start what might otherwise be
most disastrous fire. M.

WHAT is CATARRH?
The Opinion Of an Eminent Medical
Authority.

Catarrh is the cause of more diseases
than all other causes combined. There
are very few diseases to which human
flesh is subject that cannot be traced
directly to catarrh. Not only is ca
tarrh capable of producing great
variety of diseases, but it also attacks
any organ or psrt of the body. 1t
causes in the ears deafness, in the eyes
blindness, IN the head and throat dis
charges and offensive odors, IN the
bronchial tubes and larynx cough and
hoarseness, in the lungs consumption,
in the stomach dyspepsia, in the KID
neys Bright's disease, in the pelvic or
gans host of arrangements too nu-
merous for mention. Pe-ru-na cures
catarrah and all catarrhal diseases
wherever located. Pe-ru-na is a sys-
temic remedy, and hence cures catarrh
of internal organs as surely as it does
catarrh of external organs, as no ap-
plication to the effected organ is nece--
sary. Send for free copy of the

The gifts Of God to our people dur

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Chicago
Single Tax Club has adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, the national democratic
platform denounces protection as
fraud and a robbery and declares it to
he unconstitutional, and with these
declarations submitted the matter to
the people; therefore,
Resolved, that the tidal wave which
swept the country last Tuesday was
righteous condemnation Of protection;
Resolved, that we denounce as false
to the pledges Of the democratic party,
and inimical to it's continued success,
every utterance on the part Of its ac.
credited leaders tending to justify
perpetuation OF any vestige Of the
protective system.
Resolved, labor has demanded JUS
tice; when monopolists seek protection
they should ask it by its right name,
and at the place provided for the needy,
and not strive to turn the national
government into gigantic paupsr
institution.

a Tnely Clerk

Half a century ago clerk in New
York CITY was wont to take down the
shutters of the store at precisely 6 o'clock
in the morning. While he was taking
them down, rain orshine, a certain old
gentleman almost always passed by on
his way to his place of business. The
old gentleman smiled so benignantly
upon the young man that hearty and
familiar ''good morning" became nat
ural to both.
Month after month this mutual greet
ing continued, until one morning the old
gentleman was missed and he never ap-
peared again. He was dead. Not long
afterward the enterprising and faithful
clerk was waited upon by the admins
TRAITOR of the old mans estate and in
formed that his store and stock of goods
had been willed to him.
Attracted by the youths promptness
and fidelity, the old gentleman had in
quired into his character and circum-
stances and was satisfied that he could
leave his property to no one so likely to
make good use of it as the clerk who
took down the shutters at just 6 o'clock,
summer and winter.
Through this legacy the clerk was in
troduced into a profitable business at
once and he afterward became one of
the most wealthy, benevolent and re-
spected merchants of the city.-Youth's
Companion.

Curiosities of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height of her
power, when she was most highly civil
ized and delighted in being called the
mistress of the land and sea-" her peo-
pie worshiped black bull. There was
some discrimination, however, even in
this form of worship. In order to be an
object of mad alteration it was neces-
sary that the bull calf be born with a
circular white spot in the exact center
of his forehead, and the advent of such
a creature in any herd was the signal of
wild demonstrations from the Mediter-
ranean to the border of the Lybian des-
ert. Even as late as the time of Cleo
patra, "star eyed goddess, glorious sor-
ceress of the Nile" such animals were
shod with gold and had their horns
tipped with the same metal. Herodotus
tells of man who died with grief be-
cause he sold COW that soon after be-
came the mother of a black bull calf
marked with the sacred white circle in
his forehead.-St. Louis Republic.

She Surprised the Youngster

Two boys, not quite in their teens, got
into a quarrel in Twenty-third street.
near the Fifth Avenue hotel, the other
day, and after exhausting their respec-
tive vocabularies they fell to pummeling
each other viciously. They We're of the
tough species, both physically and social
ly. Their alteration naturally attract
ed much attention in that thoroughfare,
and a score or more persons stopped to
watch the conflict. Nobody showed any
desire to interfere until along came a
bright and breezy tailor made girl, walk
ing as erect as a soldier and with a
quick, springy step. She took in the
fight at a glance, and stopping within
an arms length of the combatants she
commanded them to desist. Each boy,
with scant breath, conveyed to her in a
rude, slangy way his desire that she
should mind her own business.
What's that you say!" said the young
woman, as she stretched out two gloved
hands toward the boys mind my own
business, eh?' and the pext instant the
two hands were drawn back with a
vigorous jerk. with boy dangling from
each hand. With firm grip on their
coat collars the athletic girl knocked
the heads of the bellicose boys together
as easily as if she were handling a pair
of three pound dumbbells. Then she
shook out what little breath had re-
mained in the lads and threw them
away from her, one toward Fifth avenue
and the other toward Sixth avenue.
The lads gasped and made as much haste
as they possibly could to get away from
the pretty amazon.-New York Times.

Two Fayorite Poets,

Now there are two poets whom feel
that l can never judge without a favor
able bias. One was Spenser, who was
the first poet l ever read as a boy, not
drawn to him by any enchantment of
his matter or style. but simply because
the first verse of his great poem was
A gentle knight was pricking on the plain,
and 1 followed gladly, wishful of ad-
venture. OF course understood moth
ing of the allegory, never suspected it,
fortunately for me, and am surprised to
think how much of the language l un-
derstood. At any rate, grew fond of
him, and whenever see the little brown
folio in which l read, my heart warns
to it as to a friend of my childhood.
With Marlowe it was otherwise. With
him grew acquainted during the most
impressible and receptive period of my
youth. He was the first man of genius
l had ever really known, and he natur-
ally bewitched me. What cared l that
they said he was deboshed fellow? nay,
an atheist? To me he was the voice of
one singing in the desert, of one who had
found the water of life for which l was
painting, and was at rest under the
palms. How can he ever become TO me
as other poets are?-James Russell Low
ell in Harper's.
