The Tnaffnct of Eating.

All beings, except man, are governed
by natural instinct, and every being
with stomach, except man, eats before
sleep, and even the human infant
guided by the same instinct, sucks fire.
auently day and night, ard if its stom.
ach is empty for any prolonged period
it cries long and loud. Digestion re-
ouires no interval of rest, and If the
amount of food during the twenty-four
hours is in quantity and quality not be-
yond the physiological limit, it makes no
hi difference to the stomach how
few ur how short are the intervals be-
tween eating; but it does make vast
difference in the weak and emaciated
ones welfare to have a modicum Of food
in the stomach during the time OF Sleep
that instead of being consumed by bod
lily action it may during the interval lm'
prove the lowered system.
Should the weakly, the emaciated and
the sleepless nightly take light lunch
or meal of simple, nutritious food be-
fore going to bed, nine in ten of them
would be thereby lifted into better
standard of health.-New York Ledger.

Take Care of the Harness.

Whether harness is in good condi.
ton after six or eight years of hard
service, or is good for nothing after two
years, depends on the care taken of it.
If well oiled and cleaned after every ex-
posure to storms, the harness lasts until
enough is made out of it to buy another.
1t is a good plan to keep two harnesses,
one for fine weather and the other for
use when it is wet and rough. We saw
only few days ago harness that its
owner assured us had been used for best
during eighteen years, and it was still
in good condition. In that time many
farmers would be obliged to buy two if
not three harnesses 1t is possibly in
facts like this that some farmers may
find abundant reason for their complaint
that farming does not pay.-Amerlcan

Quick Eating.

An old and quaint little woman sells
pies and tarts in Exchange place, just
off Broad street. She brings her stock
down town early in the morning in
large basket and arranges it upon a
piece of oilcloth spread in the street
close to the curb. Her customers are
mostly brokers' messenger boys, and,
unlike the typical district telegraph
boy, they are usually in a hurry. Min
utes are precious in the delivery of
stocks, checks or orders to buy, and the
brokers' boy generally times himself
while eating his modest luncheon. For
the especial benefit of such customers
the quaint little pie woman keeps tiny
clock, which bangles from the handle of
her basket, and tells each boy just how
much time he devotes to the absorption
of pastry. The average boy can devour
q five cent pie in about one minute.

"ONCE A POSTMASTER ALWAYS A
PosTM AsTER." ."-Rotation in office is a
good Democratic principle. But the;
Democratic party is hardly up to that
principle as it was applied in little
town in Illinois u few days after Mr..
Cleveland's election.
In 1885, when Mr.. Cleveland first
assumed the reins of government, a
German, staunch in the Democratic
faith, was appointed postmaster at
Ivanhoe. He made a good official and
served four years. When the change
came in 1889 another German, of op-
posite politics, was appointed his sue
cessor, and later, when the postmaster
died, his wife received the appoint
ment. The week after the election
the "original" German postmaster
walked into the postofiice and informed
the widow that as "Cleefun is elect,
und is president some more" he was
again postmaster and had come to
take charge of the office. Mr.. Cleve-
land had appointed him once, and he
evidently thought one appointment
ought to last as long as one man occu-
pied the presidential chair. The widow
demurred at first, but the Democrat
brought arguments to bear that she
could not successfully controvert, so
she gave way to the inevitable. In a
few hours the postotlce effects were
all transferred, and the postmaster of
1885 was again doing business at the
old stand, confident that he was living
up to the Jacksonian theory Of "to the
victor belongs the spoils."
The case has been reported to the
postotlice department in Washington
and will be investigated. The usurp-
err will be ''frcd" of course. At the
same time when Office seekers are.
thicker than blackbcrrics in June, as
they are now, it seems almost Il pity
that rotation in office cannot be
brought about i'll some such quiet and
easy manner

Pressing her hand and carrying 1t to his
lips, Mark passed ont.
Souri, determined to attempt to get
service with the jailers wife. She
hoped that she might be received with
less suspicion while the prisoner was
away. Besides she must communicate
with her brother as soon as possible.
She went into the Jail and found a
woman, whose hair was streaked with
gray, sweltering over cooking stove.
"Y' amt got no washen ner muffin fur
me, hab y'P' said Souri,, suddenly appear
ing before her.
"Nol git out o hyar."
"Any cooken?"
"Cooken? Can yer cook? don't want
no nigger to cook fo' me, but there's Mig
gers in the black hole wish had
some un ter cook fur"
"I'll cook fo' 'em."
"Who owns y'?'
"rze a free nigger."
"Waal, amt got no money ter payfo
cook, and l reckon III hev to sweat it
out. Git long"
II don't want muffin but sumpn ter
eat. I can sleep at my aunt's, ober de
hill"
"Waal, take hold hyar fur spell; I'm
boilen." And she drew away from the
stove and mopped her face.
Souri, took hold and showed pleas
ing aptitude at baking corn bread and
boiling some coarse meat which SIM
mered in pot on the stove.
Presently the jailer came in, and TAX
ing some of the food lifted trap door
and lowered meal to those below in
the black hole.
"Hyar's a gal," said his wife, "ez
bankers ter do some cooken fo' me-"
"Ain't got nothen ter pay with"
Don't want no pay" said Souri,. "Tze
starven. Want sump'n ter eat"
"Waal, y won't git much hyar," said
the jailer, "but I reckon it's good nuff
TO- niggers."
So Souri, was allowed to help, but
there was no understanding that her
services should extend beyond the pres
ent moment.
She was leaning over the stove when
Mark was brought back. He had just
been sentenced, and there was hag-
gard, hopeless look on his face as he
passed the girl without noticing her.
He was put in his room, and it was hard
for Souri, to keep from following to tell
him of her coming. Jakey came in with
the party and went with Mark into his
room.
In the afternoon Souri, saw that she

Mark had very little idea how long a
time would elapse before it would be
discovered that Souri, was III his place
and he had escaped. 1t might be few

though of this he had little hope. He

A Surprise.

must be, cherished among the dearest
principles of free people.

principles of a free people.
We condemn the vicious legislation
attempted and enacted by the.legisla-
ture at its recent session, and endorsed
and approved by the governor of this
State; the pernicious effects of which
will be to put to hazard all industries
dependent upon corporate capital, to
lessen the volume of currency, to in
crease the cost of credit, and to render
uncertain and precarious the occupa-
ton of all wage workers within the
State.
We denounce the inconsistency Of
the so-called Reform Party which,
proclaiming salaries too large, omits
to reduce them declaring taxes too
high, increases them; protesting op-
position to monopoly, conspires to
make the State monopoly preaching
prohibition, legislates the State itself
into rum-seller.
We declare our principles to be en-
bodied in the simple but sound Demo-
cratic doctrine of equal rights to all,
special privileges to none," and our
purpose, to repeal and to oppose all
legislation inconsistent Herewith.
We acknowledge agriculture to be
the master wheel of industrial mechan-
ism, but we declare that in the enact
ment and execution Just and whole
some laws, it is essential to consider
that the quantity and quality of the
products depend upon the harmonious
working of the whole machine; and
that upon no industry more than agri-
culture will fall the injurious effects
of departure from this just principle.
We believe the interests of capital
and labor to be the same, and we as
sert that blow aimed at one will fall
upon both and that legislation direct
ed "against" either will react upon the
people of the whole State.
We recognize the propriety of just
laws restraining the abuse ofrights and
privileges granted to individuals; but
we condem all laws tending to unright-
eously lessen the inducements to cap
ital to invest in the development Of
legitimate industries within the State.
We assert the necessity of maintain
ing the independence and high standard
of the judiciary, and condemn any and
all attemps to curtail the one or
lower the other of these safeguards to
the enjoyment of individual rights.
Adhering strictly to the sound prin-
ciples of Democracy, living within their
limitation, and believing that "a peo-
pie is best governed which is least gov
erned," we shall undertake to main-
tain to the highest standard the fnan-
cial credit and political dignity of the
State.
In conclusion, we beg leave to hope
that the principles which we have out
lined and the plans which we have sug-
gested, may meet with the appreciation
and endorsement of our fellow-citizens,
to the end that glorious success may
crown our righteous efforts.

CHAPTER X1.
DE CAUSE oB FREDUM.

On the morning after Jakeys inter-
view with the colored woman through
the crack in the jailyard fence Souri,
Slack was washing dishes by an open
window in the kitchen, an addition built
of pine boards to one of the united
houses which formed the Slack dwell
ing. The sun was shining brightly, and
8 morning glory she had trained up to
grow about the window was fresh with
dew. Souri's heart felt unusually light.
The air was so fresh; the sun was so
bright; the morning glory flowers had
such companionable look in them that
Souri, was very happy.
Suddenly there came to her a quick
sinking away from the pleasurable SEN
sation. A sense Of danger rushed in to
take its place. Surely something hor-
rible was about to happen.
In moment she heard the clatter Of
horses hoofs coming at gallop. Look
ing up the road, Of which she had a
view from the window, she saw horse
covered with foam tearing toward her,
with negro boy on his bare back. In
a moment the rider was ut the fence and
had reined in his horse. Wild with
haste and excitement, seeing Souri, ct
the window, he called:
cam dis Slack's placer
"Yas."
"Whar Souri, SlackT
"Hyar."
"YouT
"Yas."
The boy held up a red handkerchief,
and then jumping off his horse threw
the reins over picket in the fence, which
he vaulted, and running up to the win
dow poked the handkerchief at her.
Souri, at once recognized the handker-
chief she had given Mark. Sewed on to
q corner she noticed a piece Of dirty cot
cloth on which some one had written
with pen IL blotted letters:
&e.a1 St~s%

"whar'd y git thisr' asked Souri,, her
face white as ashes.
"Dunno. Left wild de niggers at MIR.
Torbut's plantation. Pze Mr.. Torbut's
nigger."
"Who tole y ter tote hit hyarT
"Ole nigger what leabe hit"
"Whatd he sayY'
"Nuffen." And the boy pointed to
the corner as if that was sufficient ex-
PLANTATION for any one.
Souri, could not read what was written
there, but she knew Mark had been cap
tured, and it was fair to suppose that he
was at or near Chattanooga.
"Waal," she said, "y' niggers hev
passed this ter me; reckon y ken pass

"Waal, take yer horse round ter the

him, and then went in to inform her

SYNOPSIS.

Private Mark Maynard is sent by Gem
eral Thomas from the Union camps in
central Tennessee scouting toward Chat
tanooga and barely escapes capture by
the Confederates through the cunning OF
a native girl-Souri Slack. He gets suit
of citizens clothes at Slae!i's, and Jakey
Slack, lad of thirteen, goes with him to
help disguise his character. Souri, gives
Mark silk handkerchief as parting
memento. Mark and the boy beg supper
and lodging at the house OF MIS-. ram,
man who is absent in the Union lines:
Captain Fitz Hugh, c. s. A, a suitor OF
Laura Fain's, drops in and suspects that
the strangers may be Union spies, but
Laura wards off investigation, and the
travellers resume their journey undis-
turbed. Mark reaches Chattanooga, is
captured and condemned as spy.

WHEN THINGS Go AMIss-DO not

well it is difficult to be thoughtful Of
others, to be unsclish. 1t takes Il
greater amount Of power to resist evil
Most of us have those times when
every thing seems to 60 amiss. When
these times come, says Physical Educa-
ton, if we look carefully, we will find
that we have been deprived of need of
rest or sleep, or have demanded more
strength from our bodies than they
could give. or our nervous systems
have been under too great tension.
Instead of letting these blue days have
their periodical appearances, we ought
to take away the cause of them.

o'clock-so Mark judged by the moon
being on the meridian-and he knew
that all the Fains were asleep. He
reached the corner of the yard and was
about to enter it when he heard a clat-
tering of hoofs behind him. He had
hardly time to vault the fence and crouch
behind it when a troop of horsemen
crossed the bridge over the creek. They
drew rein OH the hither side not hun
dred yards away from him. Mark heard
voice:
"Lieutenant, take ten men and scour
the bank of the river from this on to the
next creek, where I will make another
detail"
The lieutenant with his men broke
eway from the column, which moved
forward, passing within fifty feet of
where Mark lay crouching.
Mark was for few moments SO COM
pletely overcome by the narrowness of
his escape that he seemed to have no
power to move. If he had been five
minutes later, his capture would have
been almost certain, for they would likely
have discovered him between the road
and the river, which space they were
evidently intending to scour.
He got up, and getting on the outside
of the fence walked beside a portion of
1t which led back from the road, design
ing to enter the negro quarters in the
rear. He feared that the dogs were
loose in the yard, and that he would
have trouble with them; he therefore
stole along till he came to the nearest
point to one of the negro cabuf. a do5
sleeping in the moonlight near the
house gave IL low moan. Mark paused
moment and listened; then entering
the grounds he walked in a STOPPING
posture, keeping one of the cabins be-
tween him and the dog. He wanted to
reach the rear door.
Mark felt assured that unless he could
be concealed in some place where search
ers would not be likely to intrude he
would be lost. He well knew that every
sINr
