Found Dead In Fed.

Henry Bauer. years old. living in
Front street, was found dead in bed by
his father. who came home from work
at 8 o'clock. The lads death was pa
thetic. says the New York Tribune. His
mother died four months ago and the
father was not willing to send his chill
dren to any institution. Henry and his
two sisters, both younger than himself,
kept house as best they could. They
were lonely with out their mother, and
little Henry, who assumed charge OF
the little girls, worried and pinned over
his hard lot. There was no escaping
1t, however. and every day he gave
them their dinner, kept them as tidy as
possible and wondered If he should ever
have a good time again. Wednesday
afternoon he told Mrs. Wiegand. a
neighbor who had shown fondness for
him. that his head ached badly.
Il guess I'm going to be sick, Mrs.
Weigand," said he, land mamma isn't
here 10 take care of me. Who'll take
care of-of them?" he asked, his eyes
filling with tears and his face growing
paler.
Mrs. Weigand told him to lie down
and rest and his little sisters would be
taken care of all right.
WHEN you wake up your headache
will be gone" said she, good humor-
eddy.
He crawled into bed with his clothes
OH and went to sleep and when he woke
up it was with his mother" When his
father called his name at o'clock
there was no response.
"Henry's asleep, papa" said the
youngest child.
The father lighted the gas and went
to the bedside of the motionless boy.
One look at the pale face showed him
that little Henry's complainings had
been well founded Death is supposed
to have been due to some brain trouble.

A Namaqua witchcraft story.

Once Namaqua was travelling in COM
child on her back. They had proceeded
some distance on their journey, when a
troop OF wild horses appeared, and the
man said to the woman, II am hungry;
and as | know you can turn yourself
into lion, so do now, and catch a wild
horse, that we may eat" The woman
answered, You'll be afraid" mo. no"
said the man; 81 am afraid of dying
with hunger but not of you" Whilst
he was yet speaking, hair began to ap-
pear at the back of the woman's neck,
her nails began to assume the appear
ance of claws, and her features altered
She sat down the child. The man,
alarmed at the change, climbed a tree
close by, the woman glared at him fear
fully, and going to one side she threw
off her skin petticoat, when a perfect
lion rushed out into the plain; it bound
ed and crept along the bushes towards
the wild horses, and springing on one
of them it fell, and the lion Tapped it's
blood. The lion then came back to
where the child was crying. and the
man called out from the tree, Enough!
enough!-don't hurt me. Put off your
lions shape, I'll never ask to see this
again" The lion looked at him and
growled. "Ill remain here till l die"
said the man, "if you don't become a
woman again" The name and tail
then began to disappear. the lion then
went towards the bush where the skin
petticoat lay; 1t was slipped on, and the
woman in her proper shape took up
her child. The man descended, par
took of the horses flesh, but never
again asked the woman to catch game
for him

"First Water Diamond"

What do you mean by the express
sion first water?'"
THE expression first water when
applied to a diamond denotes that it is
free from all traces of color, blemish,
flaw or other imperfection, and that its
brilliancy is perfect. 1t is, however,
frequently applied to stones not quite
perfect, but the best that the dealer has,
and they may be of only second quality.
1t is almost impossible to value a dia-
mond by it's weight only. Color, bril-
liancy, cutting and the general perfec-
ton OF the stone have all to be taken
into account. OF two stones, both flaw
less and of the same weight, one may
be worth 5000 and the other So, 900.
Exceptional stones often bring unusual
prices, while 'off-color' stones sell from
$50 to 500 a carat, regardless of size.
The poor qualities have deprecated so
much in value that some are worth only
from one-tenth to one-fourth what they
were worth twenty years ago. This is
specially true of large stones OF the
second or third quality"

Would BE a Boy Again.

MAGISTRATE Harrison is laughing
heartily over a case that was adjusted
before him the other day, says the Phil
adelphia Record. A wagon loaded with
mineral water jugs backed up to the
curbstone in front of bottling estab-
lishment last week and the driver pro-
ceeded to unload his wagon by tossing
the jugs, one at a time, to a colored
youth who stood on the opposite side
of the curbstone, ready to catch all that
came his way.
When things were moving nicely an
old man who occupied a house next
door stepped out of his own door, threw
a brick as straight as a bullet and
broke one of the jugs while it was in
transit from the driver 10 the colored
boy. He darted back into his own
domicile before the driver could re-
cover himself enough to make a pro-
test. A few minutes later another Jug
was smashed, and again the old man
disappeared with merry laugh. This
was kept up until about dozen Jugs
had been smashed, when the angry pro-
prietor stopped the fun by causing the
old fellows arrest on the charge of
malicious mischief.
When Judge Harrison read the
charge the old man laughed until the
tears rolled down his cheeks, and then
admitted his guilt. In making an ex-
PLANTATION he told the astonished mag
istrate that he was able and willing to
pay for all the damage he had done.
and said 81 saw those jugs flying, and
knew in my heart that 1 would have
thrown bricks at them when 1 was a
boy sixty years ago. / just wanted to
see how II would feel again, and I
couldn't help myself" The explana-
ton was satisfactory. and after settling
the old fellow went away still laughing
heartily.

age of four he lost his left leg in a rail-
road accident. The right was also seri-
cusly injured at the ankle.
Aini~ was healthy, full-blooded boy,
and thN inactivity which the accident
Ssitailea brought an excess of blood. He
was threatened with apoplexy and
other troubles. An intelligent doctor
told him that the only thing that would
cure him was hard exercise.
One of the earlier results of constant
gymnastic exercise was to enable him
to do an ordinary mans work on a
farm. But his muscular strength de-
veloped so remarkably that he turned
this attention to athletics as an occu-
patton.
He Joined a circus first. and after
wards was for some years athletic ana
boxing instructor in a club. Then he
again devoted his talents to the enter
tainment of the public. For fifteen
years he has been performing publicly.
One of Armies most remarha0lo acts
is to skate. He can go round the stage
of theater on his solitary leg and
skate as long as anybody cares to watch
him. With a crutch he says he can
skate on ice as we'll as some OF the
ablest two-legged skaters.
On the horizontal bar he can go over
In circle with one hand and do many
other remarkable things. The biceps
muscles of his arm measures sixteen
inches.
He can box one-minute s)unds on one
leg. With a crutch he claims he can
hold his own with good professional
boxer. He gave an illustration OF how
he delivered knockout right-hand
blow. He hoped forward about four
feet on his one leg. When he stopped
his right was extended at full length
and his crutch was firmly planted be-
hind him. II any man is looking for a
cripple to fight let us hope he will find
this one.
Arnies also rides a bicycle skillfully
and gracefully both on the stage and on
the road.
Finally, he can hop half 4 mile on his
one leg.

THE

the Golden Fleece. which was the
treasure of her father. But after help
ing him she dared not face her father s
anger. So she departed with Jason
from. Colchis and became his wife.
Now. you remember that it had been
no easy task to take the fleece from the
sacred grove of Mars. A dragon with
hundred eyes that never all slept at
the same time guarded it, And 1t was
only by entertainments and charms that
Jason was enabled to obtain the prize.
When Medea was alittle child she
passed her life with Cree. her father s
sister. From her she learned the Sc
cret power of herbs; how to invoke the
dark powers with incantations; IN
short, all the secrets Of entertainments
and sorcery.
So 1t was by her power that Jason
had first tanned the fire. breathing bulls;
had slain the army that sprung fully
armed from the soil, after he planted
the teeth of the dragon: and 1t was by
her that the dragon in the grove OF
Mars was put to sleep while Jason
snatched the shining fleece. and you re-
member how they sped together down
to the Argo, and. as Orpheus played
upon his harp, how tho vessel sailed
swiftly away.
But not unpursued did the Argo de-
part. King Aeetes suspected treach-
cry, and finding, when too late. that
his treasure was gone and his prey es-
capped, for he had intended killing ia
son on the next morning, he started
after the fleeing bark.
Medea had foreseen this result and
had guarded against it. She had
brought her little brother with her,
and now she called him to her. When
the pursuing vessels began to gain
upon the Argonauts, she committed
the darkest crime in her life. Her lit
tie innocent brother, who loved her
and depended upon her, was sacrificed
by her own hand. After killing him,
as he embraced and kissed her, she cut
his poor little body into pieces and
threw them out of the vessel, and King
Aeetes, stopping to gather them up to
give them decent burial. gave up the
chase, and the Argo sped on.
So it will very frequently happen
that where great deed is performed,
dark stain is somewhere overshadow-
| ing the outward effulgent dress that
history and romance put upon it. And

naval achievement; probably the first
forecast of the great traffic that was
to be; when nations, separated by the
physical barriers of nature, would be
brought into fellowship and brother
hood by mans constructive ingenuity.
After a perilous voyage, the Argo
once more touched the shores of Thes-
sally. Pelias, who had sent Jason to
obtain the fleece, was much dismayed
at his return. However, he took the
golden prize that had been won at SO
much peril, and gave up his throne to
Jason, to whom 1t Of right belonged.
Great rejoicings spread throughout
the kingdom, and all would have been

the father of Jason. was too old and
infirm to attend the joyous celebrations
of the victory. Lamenting this one
drop of bitterness in his cup of

why are you sad, my lord?" asked
the beautiful wife.
"Ah. Medea, have everything that
nv heart desires, save only one. My
father. to whom / owe everything, is
old. 1t saddens me that at any moment
he may be called to leave my kingdom
for that of Pluto and Prosperine. Oh,
my wife, you have. by your magic, per-
formed wonders for me; help me now!
Take from my life some of its years
and add them to Aeson's. Do this, If
you love me, If you honor mel!
He looked imploringly at her, but
nothing could be read in the stern
countenance. Then his head sunk upon
his breast. But only for a moment, for
voice, full of low sweet music, fell
upon his ear. He knew the voice OF
Medea. 1t was that that held him
bound to her, even when his nature
recoiled from her cruel deeds.
He looked up. Never had she APP
peared so beautiful, so grand, so aw-
fu,. Her slight figure was drawn up
to its full height. Her eyes shone,
large lustrous black eyes; her dark
hair fell about her like a cloud, as II

A Girls Comnnsitinn.

At a recent boarding school examin-
alton for girls one of the tasks was an
essay on boys, and this was one of the
compositions, just as 1t was handed in
by girl of twelve: "The boy Is not an
animal. yet they can be heard to a cou-
siderable distance. When a boy hollers
he opens his big mouth like frogs, but
girls hold their tongue till they are
spoke to, and then they answer respec-
table and tell just how it was. A boy
thinks himself clever because he can
wade where 1t is deep. but God made
the dry land for every living thing, and
rested on the seventh day. When the
boy grows up he is called husband,
and then stops wading and stays out
nights. but the grew-up girl is widow
and keeps house."

This Is to certify that have been great
sufferer from that dreaded disease rheuma-

the 9TH day of November, i was taken down
bed-fast with rheumatism and was not out
of the house again until the 2Sth Of March,
go, and from that time on have suffered
beyond description. Every winter 1 could
look for from three to six weeks that could
not get out of the house. and two different
times since was first taken with it / have
been perfectly helpless for weeks at time,
so had to be handled in blanket. / tried
almost everything that could think of but
they did me no good, and the doctors could
not reach my case. But after i saw what
wonderful things DIR. Williams Pink Pills
did for my wife in a case of paralysis,
made up my mind TO try them for my rheu-
matism: and must say TO the honor of Dr..
Williams Pink Pills that they have done
for me what the doctors and all other medi-
cines have failed TO do. In the spring OF 81
j took three boxes of these pills and lput in
the best summer that have for many years.
But during the winter caught cold and
my rheumatism returned and this spring l
commenced on half dozen boxes and have
taken them, and must say that have had
less rheumatic pain this spring than have
had before since was first taken down in
the 1dll OF 'OS.
l do not claim that am entirely cured
yet, but do believe that they will drive 1t
entirely from the system. and hope that
DIR. Williams Pills will find their way into
many homes and do for others what they
have done for us.
