Having used Ayers Cherry Pee

A Twisted Teaching.

One of the most perverted and I'M.
comfortable doctrines is the one
preached to the plain girl by the we'll
meaning moral;st: You can't be
pretty, my dear; you are hopelessly
plain, of course. The only thing you
can do is to be good and amiable and
helpful, and make youself attractive
to people in that way" There is some
truth at the bottom of this, but it is 50
twisted out of shape that no one could
recognize it. People who are truly
good, and whose lives are but an ex-
preston of the love of which their
hearts are full. couldn't help being
pretty if they wanted to. The moral
sermon would be much more popular if
it were preached in its proper shape.
When hypocrites pretend to be good
and helpful, it is the hypocrisy that
shows, not the goodness. for there is
none there. True love and real sweet.

with a loveliness that attracts far more
than Grecian features or dazzling com

me. will you have the goodness not
to interfere?' he said, so fiercely that
/ was terrified, and shrank back.
For about ten minutes Aunt Maria
sat on that wall and raved. Then she
burst into tears. At this juncture L
perceived a mar figure in the distance.
Was he coming this way? Oh, joy! he
was. AS he drew nearer, l saw to my
mingled delight and dismay that it was
Dick, and seeing that the lunatic had
his back to me, l ran to meet him.
"Oh, Dick" 1 painted, as 1 came up to
him, 1--WE have been SO terribly fright
ened by a mailman. He has put Aunt
Maria on the wall, and says she shan't
get down until she promises to marry
him. Do come and save her"
Dick ran quickly to the spot, and the
lunatic turned and faced him.
s'You rascalr' cried Dick. "Stand
back, and let me take that lady off the
wall"
"You shall not touch her." said the
lunatic, fercely.
Dick took him by the coat collar, and
flung him aside with such force that he
stumbled and fell. The next instant
Dick had lifted Aunt Maria safely to
the ground. He had scarcely done SC
when the mailman leaped upon him,
and a terrific struggle followed. Sud.
denly, l saw the lunatic place his hand
in the breast of his coat, and the next
instant there was a flash of steel. He
| had drawn a knife.
'oh, Dick!-oh, my darling"
screamed; "he will kill you."
In that moment / forgot our quarrel
I forgot everything, except that l lovee
him better than anything in the world
and that he was in peril of his life; and
rushing forward, | grasped the mad
mans arm and hung on to it with al
my weight Aunt Maria screamed
Justify for help, and as l spun roune
with the combatants, l caught sight o
two men running across the field.

Aid was near. so I clenched my teeth
and held on like grim death. In a few
seconds-it seemed like an hour to me
the men were on the spot, and, after
a brief struggle, the lunatic was Sc
cured and disarmed by the two keepers
who had been searching for him all
day. AS for me. the danger being over,
I promptly tainted away. When 1
came to myself, Dick was kneeling be-
side me, supporting me in his arms.
Are you all right" he asked, anx-
iously.
Yes" replied, with a smile, Il am
quite we'll"
We all three walked home together,
and Dick dined with us that evening.
Afterwards. when 1 accompanied him
into the hall to bid him goodnight. he
asked, as he held me in his arms: Tell
me. Daisy, would you have been sorry
| if that fellow had killed me to-day?"
Don't talk about it, dearest" l an
swered, with a shudder. 1T would
have broken my heart"

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.".

Mortified Witnesses Determine to Inter-
fere In the Family Demonstrations.
The curtains were not tightly drawn
and it was with no great difficulty that
the crowd collected outside was ena-
bled to perceive the family group in
the front parlor. The husband and
father was observed to be standing on
the table and g~esticulating wildly.
The wife and mother might be seen
dancing with a marked degree of aban-
don on the sofa. The baby reclined in
a big chair and blinked alphabetically.
"Such people amt fit to have the care
of a child" authoritatively declared a
lady with glasses who stood very near
the house and could see plainly.
"lt's a shame" indignantly insisted
ceries.
The husband and father suddenly
seized chair and waved it frantically
above his head.

The lady with glasses shuddered.

The wife and mother upon the in
slant laid violent hands upon a feather
buster, and. leaping into the fair, shook
it ostentatiously.
This must be stopped. They're in
toxicated and are going to kill that
young one"
The lady with glasses was addressing
the crowd. The stout woman had just
time to express a firm belief that the
people inside were crazy, when some
determined men stepped forward and
knocked at the door. The husband
and father responded to the summons.
1--WE must insist hat you cease your
murderous demonstrations towards
yonder child"
The husband and father stood speech
less and aghast.
I'VE have seen enough to convince
us that you either intend to kill the
babe or scare it out Of it's wits. Ir
either event, we demand that you stop
at once or surrender the little one"
But, gentlemen"
The husband and father was getting
agitated.
Nothing was further from oul
minds than murder or injury of any
sort
The three determined men looked
skeptical.
I'VE were seeing if we could teach
the baby to keep still long enough te

mined men, suddenly recalled theil

How 1t Struck Poor Lo.

A United States marshal from a from
tier district who was here recently
settling up his accounts said that he
had once arrested an Indian for selling
whisky to his fellow aborigines on a
government reservation, this, of course,
being contrary to law After the ar
rest the marshal felt it his duty to tell
the Indian how depraved had been his
conduct. The Indian listened stolidIy
until the marshal had gotten through
with his homily, and then inquired:
"Me want to get out of this trouble.
Can't white chief help me@"
mo n car help you now but God"
said the marshal, with a sort of irrey-
erent solemnity.
The Indian shook his head in a hope
less sort of way and exclaimed:
''Humph-God He heap like Uncle
Sam. Injin never see Him."-Wash-
ington News.

And, with these words, this most ex-

on his knees right in Aunt Maria's

upon me. There was a large private

KING, BUT STILL A BOY.

He Wanted Fun and He Slipped Out Of
the Palace and Got 1t.
Not long ago there was terrible *
element at the royal court of Anam.
The king, Thanh-Tai, who is now four
teen years old. was missing. Etiquette
requires that the Anamese king shall
never leave the royal grounds. He is a
kingly prisoner. And that the king
should not only be absent from the
palace, but that no one should know
where he was, constituted an event of
such direful consequence that the
whole court was in dismay.
But the young potentate was not
hard to find. Though he was a king,
he was a boy. and it is natural for a
boy, when he has some money in his
pocket. to want to go ont and spend it.
That was exactly what the king OF
Anam had done. Entirely alone, he
had started on a shopping expedition
through the streets of Hue. Of course
no one knew him because he had never
shown his face in public. He was SIM
ply a boy. like any other boy, and this
wa exactly what he wanted.
But he was treated with great re
spect by the sh%opkeepers because he
seemed to have plenty of money. Curl
ously enough, the thing that seemed Il

THE GERMAN OFFICER.
His Social Position Much Coveted by HIS

His Social Position Much Coveted by HIS
Citizen Compatriots.
The social position of the German of
ficers is the most coveted in Germany.
This is not merely because as a rule
German officers spring from ancient or
noble families, or that their regimental
messes are very paternally managed,
80 as to exclude undesirable elements
He is recognized, over and above that,
as of a superior training intellectually,
as a hard worker, and n to whom the
nation looks for defense in case of a
A foreign invasion is at all times so
present to the mind of the German that
the army never for a moment loses its
great significance to the people. With
us, our men are so far away on the out
skirts of civilization that we scarcely
heal of them, and many an American
has grown to manhood without being
able to describe the uniform of the
American army. The German ofi-
Ger always wears his uniform, and
wherever he moves he represents the
majesty of the law as well as the
national power. If a landlord wishes
to recommend his bedroom to you, he
can say nothing higher than that it is
frequented by officers. A theater in
which officers do no appear is consid-
cred to have sunk below the level OF
good society. Officers at German din
ners and balls are much coveted, for
the officer is assumed to have. good
breeding, and to be in all respects a
cultivated man. During the great mil
itary operations in the autumn officers
are quartered upon the proprietors OF
the neighborhood; and far from this
being regarded as a nuisance, those
who have officers billeted upon them
consider the circumstance rather agree
able than otherwise. When parades
| and reviews are the order of the day,
when traffic is blocked upon the
| streets, the friendship of an officer is
more than sentimental pleasure, for he
can take you through all the lines which
the police hold against the great army
of citizens. An officer can go any
where in uniform, and enjoys social ad-
vantages from the very moment of put
ting on his shoulder-straps which men
in other walks of life do not attain un-
| til they have distinguished themselves
very much indeed. 1t is in Germany a
great thing to go to court, and very
few ever succeed in entering hat
charmed circle excepting through
the army. An officer goes to court rs
a matter of course, although if his
wife is not of a certain rank she may
be excluded. In England pretty much
everybody goes to court who chooses
to incur the expense of court dress, and
all Americans that come to London are
presented to the queen if they choose.
