shows that of the 479, 49O families in
that state, 3O4,727, or 63.61 per cent.

Little Judith, the eight year old
daughter of Mr.. Mullineaux, Of the
Inland Christian Advocate, Des
MOines, Iowa, on learning that her
special playmate, a child Of ber Own
age, had taken the whooping cough,
took bottle of medicine which had
cured her of Troublesome cough and
went over and said: You must take
this medicine: it will do you good"
Mr.. Mullineaux was curious as to the
result and on making inquiry learned
that the little neighbor, who had been
unable to rest at night, had been
greatly relieved in that respect. The
parOxysms were neither so frequent,
severe or enduring. The cough, un-
der the genial action of this admir-
able remedy, was lOosened. The med
icine liquefeS the mucus and enables
the sufferer to throw it of. The at
tack in the beginning gave every evil
dence of being severe attack OF
whooping cough. Indeed it was
genuine case; but this preparation,
while perhaps it may not be posi-
tive cure for the disease, is undOubt-
edly able to alleviate it. II it does
not cure it, it will give uQuestioned
relief. The medicine referred to is
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For

Our neighbOring town OF Mulvane
was stricken by fire Wednesday, about
half the business portion Of the town
being burned. The fire caught in an
ice house IN the rear of the Union ho-
tel and burned all the buildings on
both sides of the street up to the first
street east, excepting Robinson's brick
store. The loss is about $4,000, only
a small part of which was covered by
insurance. We are unable to give a
detailed account Of it at this late
hour. The fire is supposed to have
caught from Santa Fe engine. The
buildings burned were nearly all
wooden structures, the brick buildings
being nearly all located in the next
block east. Wellington and all Sum-
ner county sympathizes with the peO-
pie there, and knowing that they have
the true Kansas grit will expect to see
it rise from the ashes.

Gounod's First Earnings.

The way Gounod earned the first
money by his compositions is related by
the Freres Lionnet in their memoirs. y
They met him at the house of Escudier
in 1856 At that date he had already
produced his ''Sappho." but at his own
expense. He asked the Hornets, who
were then in vogue in the Paris salons,
to sing some of his melodies. To en-
courage them he sat down to the piano
and sang few Of them himself. They
admired them greatly. EYES, he said,
Everybody admires them, everybody
compliments me on them, but no pub
Usher will bring them out. They are
said to be too difficult for the public. By
the way, have just composed song to
the words of Beranger entitled Mon
habit consider it one of my best
compositions, and / think itwould suit
you we'll" Thereupon he sang it.
Anatole Lionnet promised to sing it
the next evening and did SO. He then
spoke to the publisher about it, but the
same objection was made. eyes, it is
charming. no doubt, said the publisher,
'sbut it will not sell. However, if M.
Lionnet will undertake to sing it for a
few nights I will consent to publish it
and give Gounod 100 francs for it,
Gounod joyfully accepted the modest
sum; it was the first he had earned. -

Four Bits and No Kiss.

The following account of a ceremony
which was performed in Tucker county,

to show how solemn an affair the ques-

ON THE WAY TO CHURCH.

There is one / know. see her sometimes pass
In the morning streets upon her way to mass;
A calm, sweet woman, with unearthly eyes.
Men turn to look at her, but never stop,
Reading in those blue depths the death of
hope,
And wise ohastisement for thoughts un-
wise.
Pure is her brow, as of q marble saint;
Her brown hair pencils it with ripples faint,
There is no shadow on it and no light;
Her cheeks are pale, like lilies in eclipse;
Hardly little redness on her lips
Paints tho sad smile where all the rest is
white.
Tall is she and bent forward like reed
Which the wind toys with as she walks with
speed;
Girllike her limbs and virginia. her waist;
Of the world wonders there is none SO sweet
AS is the summer lightning of her feet,
Speeding her onward like fawn in haste
What is her secret? ALI the world has tried
To guess it. One knew in guessing died
And was no wiser for his mortal pain.
Each has turned sadder from the thankless
quest
And gone back silent, even if he guessed,
Knowing all answer would be counted vain.
I knew her once. know her not today.
Our eyes meet sometimes but hers turn away
Quicker from mine than from the rest that
look.
Her pale cheek quivers, a flush comes and
goes,
As in the presence of a soul that knows,
And her hands tighten on her missal book.
Men have done evil, yet have won to heaven;
Lived in blood outlines, yet died forgiven.
May not, too, one day win my grace?
All, mol the sacrilege of this worst sin
Outweighs all grace. dare not enter in
Nor kneel, Gods robber, near that angel face.

and blighted anticipations OF natrimo-

evening, and nearly precipitated scene
when a buxom little woman, fashion
ably attIred, cast look OF disdain at
him as she passed jauntiIy out at the
Jackson street entrance, accompanied
by young man who glanced about ner-
vously.
The bride was . young widow, Mrs.
Margaret Short, residing on Cherry
street. with her mother, who
opposed marriage between the
daughter and Spence. An elopement
70 Chicago and a honeymoon TO the
Worlds Fair grounds was planned and
Spence handed his bride-to-be 500 for

pot all night, but in company with
Morgan, and practically ignored Spence,
who occupied another seat through 10
Chicago, and at Elkhsrt nearly tainted
when the lady actually laid her head on

In Chicago Spence says he was told
finally that his affianced and Morgan
were welded 10 Toledo Saturday.
