ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
rHE LOOKED DOOR.


Two fsiends once closed between them. mutually.
A door with double locks, one on each side;
with separate keys, fashioned with cunning art
Sure Of himself, strong In fresh-wounded pride,
Each, for his own side only. held the key.
And thus for weary weeks they dwelt apart,
TIN. one at last. whose dropping tears had drowned
The Are OF wrath that In his bosom burned.
Full Of forgiveness, softly stole and turned
The hey then sought 10 ope the door, but found
The other lock still fast, still locked the door
Then the old anger lesped TO sudden hame,
And, laying on his friends hard heart the blame,
He shot again the bolt and turned once more
To nurse, In bitterness. the feopened wound.
That night the other thought of olden days.
And melted In the memory they seemed
So nearer than arrangements later hours,
That Of the quarrel he thought he must have
dreamed
And so unlocked the door yet ali his powers
Failed still TO shake il. Then he muttered, "Fool,
To think that stubborn churl would e'er repent"
And socketwsrd again the bolt he sent.
And thus, before the rst friends wrath could cool
The others heart grew hard again and kept
The bar between them while they walked or slept.
But one calm eve both waken from dream
OF what has been, 90 clear forthshadowipa. too,
The golden prophecy Of what may DO:
Each rses. and In the moonlight's softsnsd CLEAN,
Resolves to try again all he con do.
Once moro before the barrier he stands:
And a., agsin, slowly each iron key
Rssps In the rusted wards, an answering sound
Comes from the other aide The great door Aies
Open and leaves the old friends, newly found,
Lovingly looking in each others eyes,
With reunited hearts and frm-clasped hands.

Ca,orrh, Not Local, But Constitutional.

Catarrh, Not Local, But Constitutional.
DR., Dio Lewis, the eminent Bos-
ton physician, in magazine article
says "A radical error underlies
nearly all medical treatment of ca
tarrh. 1t is not disease of the
mans nose; it is disease of the
man, showing itself in the nose-a
local exhibition of constitutional
trouble" Therefore he argues the
use of snuff and other local applica-
tons as wrong, and while they seem
to give temporary relief, they really
do more harm than good. Other lead
ing authorities agree with DR.. Lew
is. Hence the only proper method
of cure for catarrh is by taking q
constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which, reaching every
part of the body through the blood,
does eliminate all impurities and
makes the whole man healthier. 1t
removes the cause of the trouble and
restores the diseased membrane to
proper condition. That this is the
practical result is proven by thous-
ands of people who have been
cured of catarrh by taking Hoods
Sarsapariila.

He Was Fired,

"My newspaper career ended in
sullen gloom" said Michael f. Moore
at the Laclede to reporter. "Some
years ago was reporting for the st.
Paul Globe and was sent up to Monte
Media to do the Northwestern Chaut-
auqua. The thing dragged and my
soul yearned for excitment.
ga wealthy man from St. Paul

Media and was the proud possessor of
a COW called Suka. One night Suka
succeeded in hanging herself with
her halter. | seized on the item at
once, wrote it up as "The Suicide OF
Suka Frost" and sent it by express,
inclosing a note to the editor stating
that Suka was COW. The note was
mislaid and the telegraph editor pad
ded' the item.
"The next day the paper came out
with a column account of the mourn
full event, under three-line 'scare,
head, Miss Suka Frost, the charm
ing daughter of a well-known citizen
of St. Paul, committed suicide. The
article entered into all the details and
gave unrequited love as the moving
cause of the rash deed. The after

ignobly 'scooped,' and to make
amends sent special reporters and
artists to the scene of the tragedy.

Possibly last Spring you cOnSid-
cred the question of painting,

but finally decided that you would
put it over until Fall, and perhaps
until another Spring. Of course, it
is poor economy to let the building 60
unprotected, and you shouldHat once
consider the question of colors and
make up your mind when you are go
ing to paint, then engage the best
painter you know of.
A few hints may be of service to
you.
Use nothing but pure Linseed Oil
Paint.
If two coats are TO be applied to
the house, have the first one literally
thinned with Raw Linseed Oil.
Be careful to see that the building
is dry, and never let the paint be ap-
piled over wet wood.
Get the best and most durable Paint
regardless of first cost, tits the cheap
est in the end.
Investigate thoroughly the quality
of the Chiffon Paints.
Probably you can find color card
of some dealer in your town, but if
you have difficulty, send direct to the
Chiffon Manuf. Co., New York or
Doston, and one will be sent you by
mail.

A Struggle Under Difficulties.


Burlington Independent:
The little brick house overlooking
the lake at the west end of Pearl
street, which in summer is nearly hid
den from view by the flowers and
weeds which seemed to struggle for
the mastery, has lost one of its ten
ants, the stern arm of the Law hav-
ing removed to the asylum at Water
bury the mild hammered and accom-
plished gentleman, G. l.. Heyde,
Vermont's noted scenic painter, where
he died on Wednesday last. Too
proud to beg and too honest to steal,
Mr.. Heyde has for years struggled
between starvation and death, dream
ing that some day his work would be-
come known and appreciated, thus en-
abling the poor artist to revel in the
luxuries enjoyed by the tradesmen
about him but with whom his poetic
nature forbid unnecessary intercourse.
For many months his pitiful condition
has been noted by those whom he met,
but his kindly nature has almost pro-
hiblted any approach at assistance
lest it might offend. Last week he
approached resident with the request
that he become responsible to the
baker for two pounds of crackers and
a loaf of bread. When his attention
was called to the fact that his shoes
were unloosed the artists reply was,
"Will you be kind enough to tie them
for me p and he would have been a
brute who could have refused. The
expression that one-half the world
knows not how the other half lives
was more than true in his case. Here
in God-fearing community, where
men wear out the knees of their pants
and their vocal organs in prayer to
The Master for the heather in
foreign lands, where women neglect
their homes, husband and offspring
that the Arabs in Asia may become
familiar with His teachings, a gentle
man by birth and education and an
artist of no mean order, and his wife
who is the sister of one of Americas S
favored and famous poets, suffered
for want of the actual necessaries of
life.

"Tis well, or 'tis--a word that
rhymes with "well"-just according
to which side of the fence you belong.
Thanky for one thing anyway.
Campaign poets and singers are
shelved for awhile.
Everybody can be thankful for
something; the victors for having
won, and the vanquished that it is no
worse.
Some of the foppers are already
sorry they Topped; they gussed
wrong.
The campaign liar will find tempo
rary employment explaining how it
all came about after that he will be
qualified to take the road as peddler.
Three cheers and tiger for the
winner; abuse for the loser. That's
American politics.
The man who sits on the fence
during the entire campaign is invari-
ably the loudest shouter for the ticket
elected.
The cholera didn't reach us, but
the crop Of new cures has been enor-
nous, and is still increasing.
The defeated candidate can always
console himself by thinking that it is
better to be right than to be elected ;
but he cannot prevent others from re-
garding him as "left."
Bismark's last interview indicates
that all his talk about antagonizing
the Kaiser in the German Reichstag
was merely a "bluff."
A smart editor says political par
ties always know what they want.
You bet; they always want the same
thing, too-votes.
1t was man, of course, who said
that the new return postal cards
would ado to the work of the female
postal employees.
Prof. Totten, the gentleman who
thinks the world about to come to an
end, urges everyman to "vote once,
at least" according to his conscience.
Perhaps the professor did not so
mean it, but his language sounds like
an insinuation.
And now the I-told-you-sos are
around with beaming faces. This is
big tribe of knownothings.
Buffalo Bill's Indians arrived in
New York in good time to join the
tribe of Tammany in whooping up
things; but as they had no votes it is
doubtful whether the Tammany
braves shared their canteens of fire
water with them /; ''no vote, no good"
is one of the sayings of Tammany.
We are nation of newspaper read
ers; still the man who makes his
earthly exit by blowing out the gas
regularly visits the big cities.
New York city is safer to visit
since the policemen on night duty
have been given whistles in place of
clubs. These whistles do not make
very sweet music; neither do they
raise big Jumps all over a fellow S

The St. Johnsbury Republican of
Monday contains the following on the
school bill pending before the legls-
lature:
The bill providing for the town
system of schools has also been made
a special order for Thursday. Now
if there is anything the member from
Wayback likes to talk on more than
highway taxes or the bounty on wood
chucks its the district school system.
SO there is liable to be a flow of elo-
quence from unexpected quarters
next Thursday.
The member from Wayback is gen.
orally opposed to the town system for
nine times out of ten he is the COM
mittee in his district. Being the
committee it is his duty to hire his
sister-in-law, OF some female relation
to teach the school. If nothing in
the female line related to him is avail
able the teacher boards at his house
The town system will change all this
and deprive many a petty monarch
of his scepter. Do you wonder the
member from Wayback opposes the
bill !?
On the other hand, those who have
the best interest of the schools of the
State at heart and know what a
change for the better the town sys-
TEN will be. are working hard fol the
passage OF the bill. 1t is more than
likely to pass the House.
