Brewster's heart seemed almost to
stand still. All on sudden the leaders
swt rved; the blanketed riders could be
seen bending low and over as they
swung their nimble steeds in circle to
the right And then, then, an instant
more, and, tossing the powdery snow all
in a f1eecy white cloud, there came tear
ing up out of the depths of some unseen
coulee a lively herd of Indian ponies re-
joicing in their unwonted freedom and
determined not to be herded back to
slavery without struggle
1t was hard to repress the shout of Joy
that sprang to the soldiers lips Then
it wasn't the ambulance after all: moth
ing but this frolicsome band of rascals
that, after breaking away from the In
dian boys the evening before, had doubt
less been driven before the gale, de-
manding the sending forth of quite a
party of the young men in search. even
before the storm had fully abated. For
a moment the troopers forgot their mis-
sion as they watched the chase. Fresh
and unhampered by weight of any kind
the scurrying band came sweeping along
the edge of the distant bluff, following
an active, mischievous leader and leav-
ing their jaded pursuers far behind. The
Indian knows too much to chase a run
ming horse; he leaves him to his own de-
vices, well knowing he will more quick
ly stop when unpursued and can then
more readily be heade6, off and turned
back to the ways he should go. On
came the nimble herd full tilt toward
the elbow in the shallow valley, where
a broad white streak told of deep drifted
snow, and there the leader veered to the
left and south and would doubtless have
stretched away at racing speed ON that
course but for one young warrior on a
dun colored pony, wholwith the speed of
the wind came dartink ont across the
level surface beyo4r-ss e-ll5-
heading him. Around went the leader
once more in wide circle westward,
around the southerniost edge of the
feecy drift, and then, with laundering
hoofs, the whole troop went bounding
away to the west without living soul
to interpose between them and the bald,
rolling heights at the far horizon, miles
and miles away.
$50 it, pony! I'm glad to see a red

liant shout. And then, suddenly and

The Book of the Fair.

Under the above title the Bancroft
Company of Chicago and San Fran
cisco have begun the publication, in
parts, of n historical and descriptive
presentation Of the worlds science,
art and industry, as viewed through
the Columbian Exposition at Chica-
go in 1898. The make up of the
book is similar to that of Pictur-
esque America, both letter press and
illustrations being finely printed on
first class paper.
Hubert Howe Bancroft, the author
has done valuable service hitherto i'm
the line of American history, and is
consequently well fitted to prepare
this Book of the Fair, which on ac-
count OF its historical value and
artistic construction should have n
wide sale. Fheu-sHr-is handsomely
illuminated, n comprehensive Vic. Of
the Exposition buildings SSeing pre-
sented thereon.
The Book OF the Fair opens with
brief but interesting review OF the
fairs of the past, plentifully intersper-
sed with Illustrations clear and con-
vincing. Chapter two includes his
torical sketch of Chicago, which city
is itself regarded as one Of the mar
wells of the great fair; then follows n
chapter on the evolution of the Col
umbian Exposition. The work will
be of rare literary and historic inter-
est, the conceptions of the artist
blending closely with the thought of
the author and making a symmetri-
cal and instructive whole. It is to
be published in parts, two parts
issued each month, and sold at one
dollar n part.

Peaches as Medicine.

A dish of peaches is better than a
dose of medicine. There seems TO be
a difference of opinion as to whether
or not the fuzz on the skin is iniu-
rious, but the doctors agree that ripe
peaches rank with the best of sum
mer foods. Seed fruits, particularly
figs, strawberries, blackberries and
cranberries, aid digestion; grapes,
grape fruit, lines and oranges are
prime aperients; apples, dates, mel
ons, cherries and plums are nourish-
ing and refreshing, but peaches are
a tonic, an aperient, n food and a
drink combined, or, TO put it briefly,
they are meat and medicine.
A good meal may be made on cut
peaches, with sugar and cream. bread
and butter, and, considering the un-
wholesome character Of the water
supply just now, il is a lunch for man
and child. After a repast of this
sort the individual will feel morelike
attending TO the duties of the after
noon than if he or she INDUCED in
heavy food Reaehes are good Jss-
fore breakfast and after dinner; they
are good for the digestion, good for
the blood and good for the complex
ion. Some people eat them without
cream or sugar, and with good re-
suit. The fruit is so rich in sugar
and acid that il preserves its flavor
long while, but to get the full bene-
fit it should be eaten as soon as it is
cut.
Redness of the nose, due to conges-
ton, infiamed complexion, scrofulous
and bilious tendencies, are said to be
materially influenced by a liberal
consumption of this luscious fruit.
Mixed fruits are always advisable,
but the peach in season, used as an
alternate with plums, cherries, mel
ons and berries, will vanquish the
enemies of complexion. This il IA
peach year. The market is supplied
by the California crop, but harvest
is expected from Michigan, Delaware
and New Jersey. 1t will profit the
girl who studies her glass to leave
off drinking ite-cream soda and eat
ing meat, pie and candy and give the
beautiiying peach a chance TO cool
her blood and tone up her digestive
system. The complexion, whatever
il may be, depends upon the health
and constitution, and il is from hy-
gienics, and not cosmetics, that per-
manent Improvement must come.

The following are some of the
reasons why I can positively rec
ommend these investments =
I. The Red River Valley is one
of the best farming regions in
the world, is we'll settled and
prosperous, and HAS NEVER
HAD A FAILURE OF CROPS.
2. Loans there have much LAR
GER MARGINS OF SECURITY
than similar loans east and
interest is paid more promptly.
3. An experience of eight years
in loaning in all parts of the
Valley has given me reliable
knowledge of lands, values
and all necessary details which
enables me to select the best
loans on My Own JUDGMENT.

security for each loan or have

battle ragged about them, increasing at the
front. A soldier voice was heard to say:
"There's more of them coming, sir. You
can see them down there to the east"
And Mrs. Berrien's heart grew faint
with fear. Winifred had buried her
face upon her breast and closed her ears
to the horrid sounds. And then, all on
a sudden, the yells of the charging In
dams seemed to grow fainter. then
sounds of dismay arose among them,

THE ONE-CENT PIECE.-According
to the report of the director of the
mint, the ubiquitous American cent
is becoming an important factor in
our currency. Since the establish
meDt ofthe mint, and up to the ter
mination of the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1892, the face value OF the
cents and half-cents coined and re-
melted has been ms follows: OF the
old copper cents, $1,1S6, ,5S7.10; Of
copper halfcents, $50, ,92G.11; of the
copper nickle cents, 81 1,243, ,937. .22.
and of the bronze cent of the present
day, 6,57S, ,6SS.76. The ubiquity OF
the cent, however, dates back only to
the time of the centennial exposition
when the westerners who visited this
city first became acquainted with it's
usefulness. Prior to that time the
mint had not received any orders for
this coin from anywhere west of the
Mississippi river, the five-eent nickel
having been the smallest coin known
in that benighted region. As n civil
izing influence in this respect the cen
tennial exposition is entitled to share
the honors with the penny-in-the-slot
machine, with the advent of which
the western demand for the one-cent
coin has increased enormously

They grew alone, in a damp, cool space,
Where few were the eyes that could see;
| gathered them from their hiding place,
And they preached q sermon to me.
They said: "We give our very best
OF beauty and greenest leaf;
We simply grow, and leave the rest,
Be our lifetime long or brief.
"To be roses red we'll not aspire,
Nor to shade you like the tree,
But we send to heaYen each tiny spire-
Only ferns as we're meant to be.
I'VE grow for the birds that past us fly,
For insects to brush as they pass;
And, our lifetime o'er, we meekly die
Like the tiny blades of grass"
| looked on the dainty ferns that day,
And peace stole over me.
'Tis better, | said, to live aad die
Just where God means us to be,
To freely give of our best, and try
For growth and for verdure too.
Like the forest ferns; for the Masters eye
Will see if none Others do.
