ROGER DRuRY,S TREE-
Planted By the BOy, 1t Furnished the Boards

to Make the Mans Coffin.
Fifty years ago Roger Drury of Web
ster county, Ky, then 10 years old,
planted the stone Of a cherry that be
had eaten on the farm Of his father. 1t
took root and in a few years became a
prolific tree and was known by the FAM
lily as Rogers plant. From year TO
year the lad collected and sold the prod
uct, invariably boarding the money re-
ceiyed, even after he had attained man
hood, was married and had childreA Of
his own, who aided in the management
Of the farm bequeathed by his father
Last summer, in his sixtieth year,
Roger Drury's health declined and be-
came seriously impaired, and at the
same time the cherry tree manifested
unmistakable evidences Of decay, when
the old man had it cut down and sawed
into boards, from which he had his cof-
fin constructed, for utilization when the
final summons came. Three weeks ago
he was compelled TO resort to his bed,
when he sent for an undertaken and
gave final directions for the coffin's
trimmings, expiring shortly afterward.
The funeral expenses were betrayed from
the fund saved by the sale Of the cher
ries of the tree planted in his boyhood
time.-Henderson (Ky.) Correspondent

His Riddle.

Several municipal councillors of a
large Swaban town had been INDUCING
their humorous faculties at the expense
of an honest fellow-burgess who was
noted for his rough-and-ready manners,
and it seemed as though they intended
at all hazards to make him the butt OF
their wit and ridicule for the rest of the
evening. This was more than our
worthy citizen could stand. He there
fore emptied his glass and took his de-
parture. not, however, without giving
the councillors riddle to solve.
well now. gentlemen. rs you make
yourselves out to be the cleverest people
in the world just tell me the difference
between horse and donkey"
The city fathers thought the matter
over at considerable length. One re-
piled:
"A horse has short ears; donkey
long ones"
Other answers followed from the rest
"All wrong, said the problem-maker
When pressed for the correct answer he
replied:
"A horse has never yet found its way
into the council chamber but-good
night, gentlemen"
So saying he left the company of his
abashed tornentors. - ~, alanseiger.

PLAIN TALE OF PLAIN MEN.
How "A Handful of Engiishmen sung and
Then Died.

There comes from the dark continent
plain tale of plain men in this latest
year of the era of commonplace as
thrilling as any saga of Odin and his
heroes. 1t was in Matabeleland, in
Capt. Wilson's fatal pursuit of the VI Y
monster Lobenguls The principal
facts of that gallant but disastrous ride
have already been made known. But
an officer of one of the Matabele regi-
ments. who himself led in the attack
upon the entrapped Englishmen, sup

details that can never be forgotten.
a. Machassa, induna in the Insuka
regiment" he says tell YOU these
things. We were 5000 men against
your 81. They rode into the
track and linked their horses in a ring
and commenced heavy fire upon us
and our men fell fast and thick. We
opened fire upon them and killed all
their horses. Then they took to cover
behind their horses bodies and killed us
just like grass. We tried to rush them.
Twice we tried but failed. After time
they did not fire SO much and we
thought their ammunition was getting
short. Then, Just as we were prepar-
ing to rush again, they all stood up.
They took of their hats and sung. We
were SO amazed 10 see men singing in
the face OF death we knew not what TO
do. At last we rushed You white
men do not fight like men, but like dew
lis They shot us until the last cart
ridge, and most of them shot themselves
with that. But those who had none
left just covered up their eyes and died
without a sound. Child of a white
man, your people know how to fight
and how to die. We killed all the thir-
ty-four But they killed us like grass"
Not the Spaitans of Thermopyle nor
the guard nj Waterloo presented a spec
tacle Of sublimer heroism than that
handful of Englishmen surrounded by
savage foes more than 100 to one. when
the last cartridges were in their revolv-
ers, standing up in full view of their
slayers reverently barring their heads
and singing God Save the Queen."
Your latter-day materialist may sneer
at 1t as fustian or as mere brute des-
peration. 1t was neither. 1t was the
sense of duty conquering the sense of
fear 1t was courage of soul triumphant
over impending dissolution Of the body.
1t was crowded hour of glorious life"
that indeed was worth an age without
a name;" worth it not only to the actors
In it but To the whole humane race.
Those men had no reason TO think,
and did not think that their death song
would ever be heard by other ears than
those of their destroyers. Their deed
was not bravado, but modest, loyal
duty. But their voices will henceforth
live in countless throbbing hearts and
their valor make life and the world seem
nobler to all their fellow-men. ~ u

The history of the last year must
have been bitter disappointment to
many good men who, not satisfied with

into the hands of party which was
and is the creation of pure opposition,
party which had never been for any
thing in particular, but simply against
everything in general. How these
men could have hoped for anything but
the dismal result which now darkens
the country they are probably at this
moment asking themselves with more
of anger than of sorrow. OF course
these men and with them many parti-
sans of long standing, are now repent

They are also bringing forth works

ever trivial, which gives men chance
to show their feelings, has been ne
elected. Wherever the elections have
been on scale great enough, the dis
gust of the people has taken on the
largest possible proportions, and the
people have not failed TO emphasize
what they meant. In Oregon, where
the populist hoped to render the ver-
dict uncertain, the voters have left no

TRUTHS EASILY DIGESTED
Concerning the New Method Of Curing
Dyspepsa and Stomach Troubles.


Dyspepsia and indigestion are con.
sidered ncurable by many people who
do not realize the advance made il
modern medical science, and by the
old methods and remedies a cure was
rarely, if ever obtained.
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily a.
any other disease.
What the Dyspcptic wants is abund-
good, wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
TO digest it. This is exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases of
Dyspepsia, in other words the patient
eats plenty of wholesome food and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest it for
him. In this way the system is nour-
ished and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works or
not One of these tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat or eggs.
This splendid remedy is prepared by
Stuart Chemical Co. of Marshall Mich.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is remedy sold en-
tirely on its merits and il is the purcsl
safest and cheapest remedy sold for
stomach troubles, and every trial makes
one more friend for this excellent pre-.
