You may talk about the music OF the thrush
Singing from q shady nook in June,
You may tell me how in early mornings hush
Robins threats their melodies attune;
You may even praise the chatter OF the wren,

Is AUGUST FLOWER FOR 7" As easily
answered as asked: 1t is for Dys-
pepsia. It is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowingit. Twenty
years ago it started in a small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. 1t is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along-it
cures Dyspepsia. Q

late in the autumn and the weather
was cold and gloomy, while the near
est neighbor was nearly mile away;
yet they were never lonesome, for the
honeymoon was scarcely over and they
were still very fond of each others So
ciety.
Mr.. Gibbs, ST.. lived at ibbsborough,
and the two families were on the very
best of terms. The young people were
very comfortably situated, as Freeman
owned his farm, free of incum brance,
and had just sold his interest in man.
ufacturing enterprise at the village for
three thousand dollars in cash. So the
future outlook was exceedingly bright
for the young couple.
The money for the quarter interest
in the factory was paid over to Mr.
Gibbs at his house one forenoon late in
November. Before he had time to
take it to the bank a driving snow
storm set in, andehe concluded to wait
until the morrow rather than face such
a tempest, although he realized that
everybody at the village probably
knew there was large sum in his
possession. A robbery had not been
committed in the vicinity for years,
and besides that Freeman was a
courageous fellow who always kept a
revolver within reach; SO he had no
fears for the safety of his money.
The storm increased in violence as
the night came on, and by dark there
were eight inches of snow that the
furious wind was rapidly whirling into
great heaps. Mr.. Gibbs and his wife
retired quite early. and, lulled by the
roar of the storm without. they were
soon sleeping as only light-hearted
young people can sleep.
1t was almost midnight when a
laundering knock at the door aroused
them both. Thrusting his head out of
the window, Mr.. Gibbs called out:
WHO is there?"
Lewis lakewood" was the answer.
'Your father has just had shock and
cannot live till morning If you wish
to see him alive, come Immediately"
Lewis Lakewood was his fathers
nearest neighbor, SO Freeman never
had doubt of the mans identity or
the truth of his tidings. OF course
anxiety for his stricken parent at
once overcame all fear of the terrible
storm.
Dare You stay alone and let me go.
Nettie?" said he to his wife. mo team
can get through, so it is out of the ques-
ton for you to attempt to get there
in this bitter tempest. As for me, feel

Certainly l dare" was the ready
answer, for Nettie Gibbs was no
coward. mo one will get out in this
storm to trouble me, and you will be
back early in the morning. will sit
by the fire and read, SO you need have
no fears for me-"
Thus encouraged Mr. Gibbs was soon
dressed and at the door, but when he
opened it he was greatly surprised to
find that there was no one there. The
midnight messenger was gone.
His tracks were plain upon the
steps, however, and without an in
stant's hesitation Freeman plunged
into the blackness of the bowling
storm. His fathers health was of far
more Importance to him than Lewis
Jackwood's abrupt and unexpected de-
parture.
His progress was necessarily slow for
the snow was already deeply drifted.
Step by step he fought his way through
it, but more than an hour went by before
he reached his destination. Another

scarcely noticed the cold or the drifting
snow, but her waning strength and
failing breath soon brought her to a
sense OF her danger, alone at midnight
in the snowy highway, bareheaded and
thinIy dressed, with the pitiless wind
of smothering storm buffeting her
with all its fury and a masked and
bloodthirsty robber behind her.
On and on she struggled tar ough the
storm and cold in the desperate en-
deavor to find assistance. Still on she
staggered with sinking heart and
shortening breath, while the numbing
cold crept into her very vitais. On and
onward yet.
Just as she felt she could go no
farther, but must sink down and die in
the snowy highway, her tired feet
stuck in the clogging drifts and she
STUN bled and fell fairly into the arms
of a man approaching in the opposite
direction. Then her hus bands voice
rang above the bowling of the wind,
and she felt that both she and the
pocketbook were safe at last And then

When she came to herself again it
was daylight and she was safely in bed

CURIOSITY OF CHILDREN.

1t Gives Them q Mental Superiority Over
the Average Adult.
The little children Of the race are
intellectually more respectable than
the majority of it's adults. To be sure,
it is their attitude and not their achieve
ments that makes them so; but in esti-
mating the human being as a mind
rather than as a screw in the social
machine who can help thinking the
attitude more important than the
achievement? The Astounding intel
lectual curiosity of children. and their
continual return to the biggest and
deepest questionable origin of things,
the sources and ends of being-these
are what make them superior. What
if the questions can pever be absolutely
answered? Is it not infinitely more re-
spectacle to have them earnestly in
mind than, accepting some mumbo-
jumbo reply, to dismiss them altogether
and to devote existence wholly to the
frivolities we call business. or pleasure,
or learning? What else was Carlyle's
fundamental raison d etre but his
power to call us to degree of the seri-
start in life?
Upon my word, sometimes think
that il the world were started now on a
new plan, and peopled altogether with
the middle-aged, religions, after going
on short time through the impetus of
custom, would die out all over the
world from this simple lack of interest
in the questions they primarily under
take to answer As h is the children
force us to keep some sort of theory OF
existence furnished up-Century.

The death of Rev. DIR. John w. Scott
the venerable father of Mrs. Harrison,
occurred recently in the White House.
He had always held an honored place
among the family at the White House,
and it seems fitting that he should
take his departure so soon after the
death of his beloved daughter, Caro-
line Harrison. He was 90 years old,
and it was one of his dearest wishes
to become centenarian. At the time
of his death he was working on two
books; one of the common examples
nowadays of vigorous old age. His
death is the ninth which has occurred
in the White House during President
Harrisson's administration: Mrs.
Pruden, wife of the Executive Clerk,
Major Pruden. Mrs. Scott lord, sister
of Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Halford, wife
of Private Secretary Halford. the
coachman, the teleglaph operator,
Capt. Dinsmore, chief usher, Mrs.
Harrison and her father.

We take much pleasure in giving a
need of praise to the entertainment
given on Friday evening last by Miss
Marion Willis. assisted by several local
singers and musicians. Miss Willis
shows in all her work the effects of
careful study experimenting excellent
natural gifts. Graceful and unem-
barrassed in her movements on the
stage. her voice is full and pleasant
while her infections are pure and her
emphasis good. The two scenes from
Romeo and Juliet rendered under the
great disadvantage of entire absence
of appropriate scenery and the still
greater one of being compelled to take
two parts, held the audience spell
bound. In the rendition of the Vir-
ginis Reel the lady eyinced much skill
in dancing and the audience demand
an encore but the length of the pro-
gramme prevented. We hope that we
may have the pleasure or hearing
Miss Willis again and under more
favorable auspices, as the extreme
cold temperature of the hall forbade
full enjoyment of the good things
given us. The singing by the local
talent was well received as is always
the case with our fayogites,
