estate away"
This was it:
John Andrews had settled in the
country when it was young. He had
grown with its growth, and was the
proprietor of half dozen farms and
Zone fair daughter.
His wife, the partner of the earliest
and severest portion of his struggles,
had died many years before, and his
daughter had become the mistress of
his horse while yet a child. As Efie
increl I'd in years her father pros
pered, and when at length he found
himself the possessor of wealth, the
ambition, so common under such cir
eumstances, of elevating his daughter
to station in life above that in which
she had been reared became a ruling
passion. The first thing was to buy
her splendid education; and. like
other not over-good judges of the ar
ticle, he was governed in his choice
more by the gaudiness of the coloring
than by the quality of the texture.
At the end of the usual period Efie
was sent home finished. A house
was purchased in town, of which Effie
was made the mistress, and at which
hr. Belden, young gentleman of city
antecedents, and far too nice to have
anything so vulgar as a visible call
ing, became a frequent visitor. He
had just brains enough to think of
providing for the future by scheme
of which Miss Andrews and her appur-
tenances constituted the central fea-
ture.
But one difficulty remained to be en-
countered. How TO conciliate the
rough old woodsman-there was the
rub. He had permitted his daughter
TO amuse herself with the young dandy,
much as he would have allowed her to
play with a poodle. But could he
have brought himself to tolerate the
idea of her marrying anybody?
When Belden reported at headquar-
ters and implored the paternal sane
tion of his suit he received no such
thing son the contrary, quite the re-
verse.
When Effie tried to talk her father
over, for the first time in his life he
flew into passion with her, and she
dared not renew the subject.
But Love, the little pagan, pays no
respect to the fifth commandment.
The officious interference of parents
and guardians only renders him the
more impatient and unruly.
Efiie, after protesting she couldn't
possibly think of such thing, and af-
ter many vain attempts to conjecture
what people would say, at last, with
graceful hesitancy, consented to elope.
Rage, frenzy, despair are weak
words TO describe the emotions of

HOW I LOVE HER.

How love her none may say
In what sweet and varied way;
Loving her this way and that
For ribbon on her hat.
For her soft checks crimson dyes
For trick Of her blue eycsl
How love her none may say,
Yet love her all tho day.
How love her none may know;
Who can say how roses grow?
How, where'er it breathes and blows,
Still the rough wind loves the roscP
For her lips, 50 honey-swest,
For the falling OF her feet
Who shall all my love declare?
Yet love her all tho yearl
How love her none may Lay-
In the winter, in tho May
In all seasons, dark or bright.
Love by day and love by night
For her glance-her smile-the moro
Presence OF her here and there;
In my signing, in my song,
Still love her all life long!

People who had paid no attention to
bicycling matters will be surprised to
learn of the records for speed and en-
durance which have lately been made
on the modern wheel. A receut road
record is that of Holbein, who, on
July 7th, covered 297 miles in twenty
four hours on roads between London
and Peterborough. A track record is
that which was made in twenty-fouI
hour bicycle race at Putney, England,
on June % and %. In this trial of
endurance and speed A. @. Fountaine
made 474 miles 1896 yards in twenty
four hours. But the greatest achieve
ment in the way of endurance is that
which was made some weeks ago by q
Frenchman named Huret. He GOV.
cred 5l5 miles in twenty-four hours
upon track. Leaving the question
of endurance and coming down to the
question of speed, it will be interest
ing for those who have compared the
speed of bicyclists with the speed OF
horses to note this table:

Others. life was now opened before
them. Their true work was now to
begin. The years that were gone
were but years Of preparation. Now
they went forth into the battle OF
life, and the coming years would
show whether they would wisely ap-
Iply what they had been taught.
Whatever tho future might bring,
whatever the station OF each in times
to come, all would remember their
school with feelings OF pleasure. He
gracefully thanked the Board OF
Education for the care and interest
taken in the school work, for the ap-
paratus provided. and for their lib
eral policy toward the pupils. He
said that the class would remember
the kindness and pains taken by
the several teachers under whom
they had studied, and would ever
hold them in grateful remembrance.
To the superintendent a well merited
tribute was rendered for his super
vision and direction of their studies,
and their pleasant relations with
him would always he green In their
memory. Turning to his fellow
graduates, he spoke of the pleasant
memories associated with their long
comradeship. Whatever might hap
pen, they had been friends, and
would be so. They were now part
ing, their paths in life now diverged,
but the years of school life together
would be ever fresh in their minds.
Finally, to the citizens and friends
who were present, he extended
words OF thanks. and promised that
theclass would ever strive to dOhOnor
to the school which had sent it forth.
Mr.. Hoffman has an easy delivery
and good presence on the platform.
Following him the joyous four OF

Mr.. Carhart spoke Of the contrast
in educational facilities between now
and former times. 1t wasnOW with

education. Application was u good
thing, but it might he misdirected.
He illustrated this with a character

India had crystaliIed their idea Of
knowledge in the titles OF their gods.
Every graduate was equal to those
conceptions in the matter of knOwl-

the audience, and the chorus sang

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
Ing of success, but at last established living
paying business, and made the name "Dr. Wards"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years Of toiling and waiting,
MI. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle OF right and
Justice as to undertake to despoil him of his bus
iness, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, IN this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be Dr.. Wards or
s'iust as good as DR.. Ward's," frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. therefore, in order to protect his bus-
ness and the public from being imposed upon.
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. 5. Patent Office
No. 1886.
All customers are hereby cautioned to see that
