A Vivid Imagination.

Robert Collyer tells the story of a lit
tie girl with vivid imagination which
constantly led her into amazing extrav-
agances regarding things which she
claimed TO have seen. One day after
an extraordinary exhibition of her in
ventive powers her mother exclaimed in
despair: "Oh, my dear, my dear, my
dear. Don't you know that Ananias
and Sapphira fell down dead ON account
of the lies they told? Don't you remem-
Der that terrible story?'' ''Oh, yes, "
responded the child, unabashed. Il saw
them carried in after they fell down

GRAINS OF GOLD.
Who teaches often learns himself.
Where reason rules appetite obeys.

Who teaches often learns himself.
Where reason rules appetite obeys.
There is no medicine against death.
Enough is always little more than
we have.
Beware of the thing that bad men are
in favor of.
Know thyself, and keep the informa-
tion TO thyself.
The greatest learning is to be seen in
the greatest plainness.
A soul occupied with great ideas best
performs small duties.
The years do little for US if they do
not teach us modesty.
1t is no use running; to set out by
times is the main point.
Custom may lead man into many
errors, but it justifes none.
If youth knew what age would crave.
it would both get and save.
Antiquity cannot privilege an error,
nor novelty prejudice truth.
The trials of life are the tests which
ascertain how much gold there is in us.
There are few wild beasts more to be
dreaded than talking man who has
nothing to say.
Melancholy is the putrefactiOn of
stagnant life, but is remedied by exer-
else and motion.
There is one day in the week to 60 TO
church, and there are seven to love thy
neighbor as thyself.
No life can be pure in its purpose or
strong in its strife, and all life not be
purer and stronger thereby.
In prosperity it is the easiest of all
things to find friend; in adversity it is
Of all things the most difficult.
The great condition of all pure enjoy
ment is to have the heart free from ev-
cry root of bitterness and discomfort
No mai is prepared for the morrow;
the morrow prepares itself for every man,
and so prepares every man for itself.

BE MY SWEETHEART.

rThe first love song ever written by Mr. Field
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When birds are on the wing.
When bee and bud and babbling flood
Bespeak the birth of spring.
Come, sweetheart. be my sweetheart
And wear this posy ringl
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
In the mellow golden glow
OF earth aflush with the gracious blush
Which the ripening fields foreshow
Dear sweetheart, be my sweetheart
AS into the moon we goi
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When falls the beunteous year,
When fruit and wine of tree and vine
Give us their harvest cheer.
Oh. sweetheart. be my sweetheart,
For winter il draweth near!
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When the year is white and old,
When the fire of youth is spent, forsooth
And the hand of age is cold.
Yet, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
Till the year of our love be toldi

Ch.efOuanal Parker,

Chief Quanal Parker of the Comanche
Indians possesses some odd traits OF
character. He occupies, with his five
wives. a handsome house of 80 looms
near the reseryation, and whenever he
leaves for journey he turns his wives
out of doors because they "have no more
sense than to let the house take fire and
burn down in his absence" Quanal is
AZ years old, very rich and inclined to
adopt the ways of civilization to the ex-
tent of wearing its cloths, driving a
team of fast horses and serving on his
table the best that the market affords.

An Interesting Region.

In spite OF the interest long felt in the
cliff dwellers of the west there are still
some fine examples of their work in
eastern Utah as yet unexplored. The
approach from this side is over the
ranges and high mesas of western Colo
rado, country most difficult to traverse
and peopled chiefly by miners too eager
for gold and silver to give much time or
thought to ethnography. This may ex-
plain the fact that so interesting re-
gion remains neglected. ed.-Chicago Her.

BLUE ISLAND Ills, July 5.-The four
companies of the Fifteenth United States
troops from Fort Sheridan for Blue Island
went into camp three-quarters of a mile
from the depot, where all the trouble has
been raised. The regulars are in COM
mand of Major Bailey, of the First batal-
lion. They were accompanied by Deputy
U nited States Marshal John A Logan
and United States District Attorney Mil
christ. The fireman on the train that
pulled the regulars refused to assist in
backing the train into the switch when
the soldiers were disembarked. He was
put under arrest by Marshal Arnold.
Roadmaster James Conlon fired the en-
gine through the switch, Wrecking crews
were brought in and the work of clearing
the yards under guard of the United
States soldiers was begun,
Carroll Christ, a brickmaker, and Ed
Heimes, a greenhouse man, were arrested
during the day at Blue Island by Marshal
Arnold and Deputy Marshal Logan for
making threats against the deputy mar
shals. Heimes said; Il will strike a knife

near the general offices, and were the oc-
casion for the gathering Of which would
have been an ugly mob but for the United
States soldiers ON guard.

An Explosion Causes Damage That VIII
Take Months to Repair.
NORFOLK, Va. July 5-After spending
twenty four hours al sea the United Sta es
steamship Montgomery met with a mis-
hap which will possibly take her out Of
commission for three or more months On
Tuesday, while the vessel was off Cape
Henry, Commander Davis decided to give
her a speed trial of eighteen miles The
engineers had just received orders to start
the vessel at full speed, and were at that
moment turning the steam on to the port
high pressure engine, when a terrific ex-
plosion was heard, followed a moment
later by the sound Of escaping steam.
The Kissing sound lasted for only a mo
ment, however. The engineers jumped
for their throttles and shut off the steam,
and then began an examination Of the
machinery. The damage was even greater
than was anticipated. The cylinder head
had been blown out and the cylinder was
a complete wreck. A nut on the crank pin
end of the connecting rod had become
loose while steam was being turned on foi
the speed trial, and under the heavy pres.
sure the cylinder head gave way. This
mishap brought the trial to a rather sud.
den close, and the vessel came into Hamp
ton Roads under her starboard engines.
where her commander is waiting orders
1t Is not known whether she will be re.
paired at this yard or be sent back to the
contractors 1t is possible that she will
go to the latter place, rs she has not been
finally accepted by the deparJm and
this trial was to determine her stability
before her final acceptance.

ABRAHAM LINCoLN's first speech on the
rarif question was short and to the point.
He said that he did not pretend to be
learned in political economy, but he
thought that he knew enough to know
that "when an American paid twenty
dollars for steel to an English manufac-
turer, America had the steel and England
had the twenty dollars. But when he
paid twenty dollars for steel to an Ameri,
can manufactures, America had both the
steel and the twenty dollars" That was
the sum and substance Of the tariff ques.
tion as he viewed it.

ONE Of the big schemes that Congress

the way and matters have quieted down
Is the settlement of the debt owed the
Government by the Pacific Railroad Com

prolific a find for the lobby as was the
