children rushed to me and kissed me.

you, papa, thank you'll Thank you?
For what? And while I was wondering
for what they could thank meme, who
had given them nothing, they ran into
the next room and came back with
magnificent doll-an indestructible
doll! Oh! heavens! understood then!
They had come in during my absenct
and seen in the corner the bundle
had laid down. 1t was the shape of the
large doll of their dreams, and they
thought it was my New Years gift.
They had undone the parcel and were
soon in possession of the doll. / ought

crying: That is not for you-it is not
for you. 1t does not belong to US. 1t is

were so happy! Oh! If you had seen
their joy! With what big eyes they
looked at their baby and devoured her
with caresses. / did not have the cour-
age to take her away from them. i

to the store and say: You owe me
money, give me a large doll instead.
Then I would have carried it to you,

the package. But I could neither speak

This morning decided to come and tell
you all about it-confess every thing.
Madame, beg of you not to complain
of me at the store. They know nothing
about it and think you have received it.
I have the reputation always of being
an honest man. I shall get my pay in a
few days, and will swear to you that
1 will bring you doll exactly like the
one which my children kept-in per-
feet innocence, assure you"
The door bell rang. 1t was the good
friend back again. "They say positive
~" said he, that the doll was sent yes
terday morning"
"That is true" said the mother.
'Well, where is she them"
SIN the hands of some little girls not
quite so fortunate as these. Isn't that
it, Martha, Jeanne, Yvonne?"
The eldest answered: eyes, we have
given it away" and the two little ones
echoed: eve have given 1t away"
And all together they rushed from the
room, to return a few moments later
with the dinner set, which they thrust
upon the father, saying: "Give this
to your little girls from u.s."
The good friend understood nothing
of all this. Afterward, when they told
him the story, he looked up the mans
references, and finding them excellent.
he gave him work.
And he gave to his little friends an
other indestructible doll. For, al
though it is well to teach children to do
good, they ought not to regret having
done it; not until later will they learn
that one gives doubly when one makes
a sacrifice.
The two indestructible dolls have
neither heads nor legs now-but that
only verifies this story.-Translated

One Of the most curious carbonifer-
Gus fossils ever found in that part of
the anthracite coal field was discover
ed in the Dodge mine at Scranton, Pa,
the other day by John b. Davis, a
miner. IL was the head and neck of
a woman's figure, the features being
regular and clearly defined.
The fossil weighs sixty FIVE pounds
and is composed of fire clay. 1t is
twenty four inhces high, fourteen

No mystery about. it. When the Shakers
offered some time ago to give away bottle of
their Digestive Cordial to any one who might
call at their New York Office, there was
great rush and great many people thought
they were crazy. Subsequent events prove it
to have been very clever advertising trans
action, for although they gave away thous-
ands of bottles, it was in the end profitable;
nearly every one that took a free bottle came
back for more and paid for it with pleasure
saying that they had derived better results
from its use than from any other medicine
they had ever used.
There is nothing uniformly successful in
the treatment of stomach troubles as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial, and what is better
than all, it relieves at once.

According to the Pittsburgh Journal,
Pete Gruber, the rattlesnake king OF
Venango County, has made the most
unique costume any man ever wore.
1t consists Of coat, vest, trousers, hat
shoes, and shirt, and is made entirely
of the skins af rattlesnakes. Seven
hundred snakes, all caught and skin
ned by Gruber during the past FIVE
years, provided the material for this
novel costume. To preserve the
briliiancy and the fexibi.ity of the
skins in the greatest possible degree,
the snakes were skinned alive, first
being made unconcious by chloro-
form. They were then tanned by a
method peculiar to Gruber, and are as
soft and elastic as wooden goods. The
different articles for this outfit were
made by Oil City tailors, shoemakers,
and hatters, and the costume is valu
ed at 81 900.

buried when she got there. She showed
to the coroner, the physicians who had

Mrs Dearman had the bOly disln-

It Has Become Ono OF the Religious In
stitut.ons Of Omaha
Speaking of churches reminds me
that Elijah Halford's Bible class has
become one Of the great institutions of
the town. When he lived in Indianapo-
lis and edited The Journal for the Hon.
John G. New, Lije had q Bible class in
the Methodist church that was almost as
large as the average attendance at morn-
ing service. On rainy Sundays, or dur
ing the hot weather, when the brethren
didn't feel well enough TO GO to church,
they could always be depended upon to
turn up after the benediction for Sun
day school and listen to Lie Halford ex-
pound the Scriptures. Us he could do
better than any preacher or la. man
south of the Wabash river.
When he went 10 Washington, that
Bible class disintegrated, and Lilo didn't
start one there because he was SO bur-
dened with the cares Of state. But when
no went to Omaha as brand new major
and paymaster in the army the first
thing he did after getting measured for
hrs uniform and unpacking his trunk
was to organize a class in the First
Methodist church that isn't equaled for
numbers and general intelligence-ex-
cept perhaps by the one Mr. Wanamaker
conducts in Philadelphia--in the whole
land. There are 2J5 members-all men
and some of tho wiScst and the most
learned of the population answer here"
as Lije calls the roll every Sunday
morning. No fatigue or business en-
gagements, no storm or cold or heat, can
keep them away, for when Lie Halford
commences TO expound Scripture it il
worth going long journey to hear him
talk. Cor. Chicago Record
