broken stones were soon passed, and then
at every step the man gained upon joe.
and had it not been for close prickly
hedge near by through which the boy
forced his way he would undoubtedly have
been caught. He reflected that if the
ruilian made up his mind to force his way
through the b,iers he would suffer much
mere than he, and so he made the best of
his advantage thus gained.
At last the man came through, threat
ening and swearing at the terrified
Joe, who feeling that his strength
could not last much longer, doubled his
pace. In vain he looked for some living
thing to help-for house in which to
hide but there was not one in sight. The
ruf,ian had ceased his threatening, but his
silence was far worse, and Joe could h, ar
the patter Of his feet close behind.
1t was Of no use. He was losing ground

to outrun this man. He made last spur t,
however, and dashing about corner of tie
fence came in sight of the winding river
again Ah. there was another chance.
Without moments hesitation Joe raised
his hands above his head and divcd from
the bank and with two or three quick
strokes under water he came up several
yards ahead of his pursuer. The man had
dashed into the water without realizing
that he could not swim and Joe was ahead
of him and over his depth now,
As Joe calmly climbed the opposite bank
after his refreshing bath the half drowned
ruf1ian was being pulled from the water by
his companion, who had secured the
clothes and followed as fast as pos
sible. Awful threats of vengeance We're
poured ON Jne's head from across the water
when the ruiian recovered the use of his
lungs and the voliey o. stones that came
nearly a3ro5s the river was appalling Joe
cooly occupied himself in wrnging the
water from his clothes and in shaking his
fit at the men and returning some Of Their
threats.
When he hal rested awhile he prepar, d

some Is miles distant He rolled the
trousers up, and depositinS them on the
bank shouted to the men that they were
ready as soon us they cared to call for them
Then taking OF his hat with flourish he
turned his back and was on the road for
home. He reached the house OF friendly
farmer at nightfall and spent the night.
The next morning he reached home safely
and handed the money bag to his father. -

HELP FOR HOUSEWIVES.
Useful Suggestions TO Those Charged
With Domestic Concerns.

Old flannel shirts make good busters,
and can be washed weekly. For the rub
bling of silver they are invaluable.
Use soapy water when making starch.
The clothes will have Il glossier appearance,
and the irons will be less likely to stick.
Chemists say it takes more than twice as
much sugar to sweeten preserves, sauces
and the like il put in when they begin to
cook as it does to add it after the process is
accomplished.
An ederdown quilt rolled up and tied
with broad ribbon, says the Philadelphia
Record, is now occasionally seen piled with
the other cushions of divan. 1t is said to
have admirable fitting-n qualities and if
the quilt is handsome, as such usually are,
it is decorative as well.
Little bags of powdered orris root are
considered among the daintest devices for
pertaining bed linen and underclothes, and
are more popular just now than lavender.
| Orris root can be renewed in strength by
the simple device Of summing it WE'LL
spreading it out so that the sun will dry it
| thoroughly.
After frying doughnuts or fritters or
anything of that kind, shave off few slices
Of potatoes when you are done with the
grease and drop them in the Sizing fat
Let them cook an instant and then set on
back of the stove to cool very slowly In
the course of half an hour remove to place
to cool more rapidly, and just before it gets
beyond the pouring stage strain through II
cloth into clean jar. You will find that
the lard is nearly as sweet as ever being
only little darker, which does not hurt it
for frying cakes in again.
If cane chairs are sagging in the seat,
turn them upside down and wash them with
strong soapsuds. Soak them thoroughly,
then set them to dry. The cane will stiffen
UP to its normal condition.
1t is not always easy to start fruit-jar
cover. Instead of wrenchng your hand
and bringing on blisters, simply invert the
jar and place the top in hot water for q
minute Then try it, and you will find
it turns quite easily.
A valuable assistant on silver-cleaning
day is lemon. II silver, after it is cleaned
is rubbed with piece of lemon, and then
washed and we'll dried, it gets white
brilliancy which it seldom has otherwise,
and will keep clean longer than with the
ordinary cleansing.
Silk must never be ironed, as the heat
takes all the life out OF it, and makes it
seem stringy and dabby If, however. you
wish to press out bits of silk and ribbon for
fancy-work use an iron only moderately
hot, and place two thicknesses of paper
between that and the silk.
To make paste stick on tin, rub the sur
face with raw onion.
Some cooks are making crustly bread in
sections of stovepipe. These utensils are
cut in the required length at the tinsmith's,
and the edges turned over so the hands will
not be injured.
If you hate 'mussy" things for your
children to play with, get some carpenter
to cut an inch piece of hard wood into
various lengths for you, having, say, half a
dozen pieces two feet long. Have basket
for the child to keep the pieces in, and
show him how to built rail fences, block
houses and corn.cribs

Any one who has ever had an attack of
infammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr.. J. A. Stumm, 900 Boyle Heights,
Los Angeles, over his fortunate escape
from siege of that distressing ailment.
Mr.. Stumm is foreman Of Merriam's con-
fectionery establishment. Some months
ago, on leaving the heated work room to
run across the street on an errand, he was
caught out in the rain. The result was
that when ready to go home that night he
was unable to walk, owing to infamma-
tory rheumatism. He was taken home,
and on arrival was placed in front of a
good fire and thoroughly rubbed with
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. During the
evening and night he was repeatedly
bathed with this liniment, and by morn
ing was relieved of all rheumatic pains.
He now takes especial pleasure in prais-
ing Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and always
keeps bottle of it in the house. For

TIE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and indigestion go
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought continued In, robs
the stomach Of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor
When five horsepower engine is made
to do ten horsepower work something is
going to break Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
Office will 'bolt " his food i'll few min
utes which will take hours to digest Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as key of nails would be in
FIRE under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application Of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
vitalize the blood. The "Pellets " are tiny
sugar coated pills made of highly concen-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for short time 20 cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi-
gestion, dyspepsia nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can en,l
yourself with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtaine ed at any
drug store in the country.

What Does 1t Matter?

1t matters little where was born
Or if my parents We're rich or poor,
Whether they shrank at the cold world scorr
Or walked in the pride Of wealth secure.
But whether live an honest man
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,
tell you, brother, plain as l am,
1t matters much!
1t matters little how long stay
In world of sorrow, sin and care,
Whether in youth am called away
Or live till my bones and pate are bare
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight of adversity's touch
On the faded cheek of my fellow man,
1t matters much!
1t matters little where be my grave,
Or on the land or on the sea,
By purling brook or meath stormy wave,
1t matters little or naught to me.
But whether the angel Death comes down
And marks my brow with his loving touch
As one that shall wear the victor's crown,
1t matters much!

This is the secret of SCOTS

To the Ghost of Sherlock Holmes.

To the Ghost of Sherlock Holmes.
When Sherlock Holmes, ingenious man. pur.
sued his strange career,
We studied his adventures with sympathy
sincere,
Although In time his victories monotonous be-
came,
Because his base opponents never won sim
gle game.
He caught his latest criminal, and then at last
he died.
'We mourn him, we lament him, but it's time
he went, " we cried.
All, foolish words Soon after we regretted
him, dislnayed
To find he'd left a family to carry on the
trade.
They swarm in every magazine; each journal
with them teens,
Detecting obvious criminals by very obvious
schemes,
Adapting to their purposes devices long ago
Invented by the master hand Of great Gabo-
riau.
Yes, Sherlock Holmes is dead and gone, but
still in other shapes
We meet the old detective whom no criminal
escapes.
The hateful "strange occurrence" or "mys-
FERROUS affair."
Still, still infests the magazines and drives
us to despair.
Oh, ghost of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, please mer.
cifully kill
These shameless imitators of your transcend
ent Skill
That dictionary criminals might be allowed a
rest!

A Hon, SKID and j UNI u.

An athletic caper of this sort would
scarcely be considered indecorous in one,
even of mature age and sedate habits,
impelled thereto by excess of JOY on re-
covering his digestion through the in
strumentality of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, foremos among remedies for dys-
pepsia, biliousness and constipation, a
trio of evils, usually found in conjunc-
tion with each other. As the stomach re-
covers its tone, and the gastric juices are
secreted in healthful plentitude through
the agency of this superb restorative,
nerve tranquility, appetite and sleep
return, the body gain in substance and
the muscles in vigor. For the prevention
and cure of lnalarious, rheumatic and
kidney trouble the Bitters is a most di-
rect and thoroughgoing medical agent.
Its effects are speedily felt and compre-
hensiye.
