His V Jews a. TOT he Sort of Prayer That
Iz the Most Speedily Answered.
At the commencement OK crcises at Sum-
mtvile the class address was delivered
by BENJAMIN F Phemister, one OF Van
BJren's teachers, says the Anderson Demo-
crat who illustrated the spirit of his SUBJ
ieet by the following story Of Lincoln:
"On the first day OF January, 1864.
while a binding snowstoTm swept with
untold violence ethroughoutthe Northern and
New England States, while thousands OF
our brave defenders were suffering upon
the CORY fields OF the South, a man, tall,
gaBnt and homeIy, was seen standing on
Pennsylvania avenue in the city Of Wash
ingtOn woman with her head barred to
the hurricane OF heaven, with her feet
naked 70 the frozen ground, wiGh her gown
tattered and torn, saw him. She suppoS-
ing him to be minister OF the gospel,
ran to him and, falling at his feet, addressed
him thus:
a. oh, sir! II you are a minister OF the
gospel, ~ you serve the God VINO ted Elijah
b. ravens and Israel with mama pray TO
Him to provide me a shelter from the storm
and food Tor my poor starving Children!
/ am widow My husband sleeps i'll the
bloody bosom Of Gettysburg. | am sad aud
forlorn. Oh, pray to the Master, till He
hears my sad cry, that He may shelter and
feed us-or pray that We may diet
The tal, ugly man, with his heart
overlooking with sympathy and his eyes
flooded with tears, extended bota his hands
to the dirty, kneeling woman and said:
Woman, get up; you are mistaken / am
not minister OF the gospel. Jehovah never
appears to hear my prayer. For four long
years | have been praying for the resto-
ration OF our federal union and the cessa-
ton OF this cruel, bloody war. Not until
lion in the form of two of the most magnifi-
cent armies that ever ShouldeTed a muSket
under the guiding hands Of Generals Grant
and Sherman, was there ever the renlOtest
resemblance to an answer My prayers
have finally been answered through the
instrunentalities OF these two armies under
the matChlesS and daring skill OF these two
generals. Now, II 1 had any idea tina { a
prayer would shelter, feed and clothe you
/ would bow down, but / think that the
best prayer ! can make in your behalf viii
b, a prayer TO that grocerynan on yOnder
corner
"Suitins the generous act to the kind and
sympathetic words, taat ugly beautiful
man took from his pocket small order book
and wrote:
e Washington, Jan 1, 1s64.-Mr. Groc-
eryman-SiF. You viii please supply the
bearer with SO worth Of provisions as she
may direct and choose and charge the same
to yours truly, ABRAHAM LINCOLN 4"

One OF the Iarcst and most valuable OF
collections is that which is now being al
ranged at the National Museum and which
contains probably some OF the Oldest relics
ever gathered in any one place. Under the
cane Of several Of the professors there are
now b-ing catalogued and exhibited time
pieces OF all nations from the earliest at
tempts down to the watches of the present
century But the most interesting part is
that containing some Of the ancient clocks
which did duty hundreds Of years ago
years before even tEe New World had heen
brought into the existence OF the civilized
nations
The specimens OF the fist attempts at
measuring time is an antique dial which is
so Tusted by age. that the figures are al
most undecIpheTable. One OF these dials
has numbers which read backward and it
is believed To have been used in France
centuries ago. The dial is the earliest
method Of dividing the day and it is spoken
of in the Old Testament when IL is asserted
OF some one that he brought the shadow

THE SEIFRED CASE.
Where Incest Is Charged by Ada M
Seifred Against Her Brother,

In the Seifred incest case at Great
Falls which occupied the courts for the
early part of the week, the verdict has
not been reported here although it was
rendered last Wednesday. The trial was
full of the kind of spice, which a de-
PRAYED and perverted taste enjoys, and
seems to be a case of she says he did and
he said he didn't, wherein the truth will
never be known.
But certain it is that the defendent has
been guilty of acts of indiscretion.
wholly u%nbecoming the guardian of a
minor sister. For the ~latter's sake and
for the suppression of gossip he should
never have taken her with him to the
ranch to spend the night, where there
was only a mean shack, containing one
bed. He should have placed the defense
less sister where she would have been
protected by matronly care in the house
OF some upright and charitable family.
If not so he should have placed her in a
convent during those years from 13 to
16 when youth of either Sex is most sus-
ceptible to temptation. And whether
the plaintiffs story is true Or false, the
evidence certainly finds that some funny
work has been going on for a year or
two, with or without the knowledge of
defendent, and that the guardian has
been most lax in the discharge of the
lofty trust imposed upon him.
Later: The jury in the above case,
after six and a half hours of session re-
turned a verdict of acquittal.

WAY IT Is DONE

1.-THE WAY 1T Is DONE
The Great Falls girl BOWS her stately head
And fixes her stylish lips.
In "A handy way then lets them 90
In spasmadic little sips.
The Sand coulee girl removes her specs
And fringeth her face in a smile.
And sticks out her lips like an open book
Aud cheweth her gum meanwhile.
The Belt girl she says ne'er a word,
And yon d think she was rather tame
From the practical view OF the matter In hand
But she gets there just the same.
The Arlington girl; the pride of the west.
In a clinging and soulful way
Aosorbs 1t all in a %yearnful yearn
As big as a bale OF hay.
The Monarch girl gets a grip on herself,
ANA carefully takes of her hat:
Grabs at the prize in a frenzied way
Like a terrier shaking a rat.
The Barker girl, so gentle and sweet.
Lets her lips meet the coming kiss.
With the rapture warmth ana the youthful soul
Floats away on a sea of bliss.
/ have told you the way of the girls who kiss.
Ihat sets ones brain in "a whirl.
But to reach the highest of bliss
You must kiss "a Neihart girl.
With your arm round her waist her face upturn',
In a sweet confiding way,
You care not a jug for the whole wide world.
While the wind through your whiskers play
And close together your lips you draw
Till they meet i'll a rapturous glow.
And the small boy hidden behind the pine
Says: "GALLAHGER LET Err cor"

DEATH OF PETER O'DONNELL,
Pneumonia Cuts Short the Career of
Good Man,

Peter ODOnnell, a miner, died at
Neihart Thursday morning, March % at
7 o'clock. He came to camp from Butte
only the previous Saturday and was in
good health. His sickness was of pneu-
monia, and lasted but the brief space of
four days.
The deceased was known here only to
a few. Dominick O'Donncll and John
Boyle of Neihart are his cousins. Dan
Gallagher and Alex Thompson are his
friends. His brothers are Hugh and
Neil O'Donnell of Butte and Ed. o.
Donnell of the Crur d'Alcnes.
The deceased was born in Honey
brook, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania,
rs years ago. He was vigorous, strong,
and of fine physique. He was single, a
member of the Catholic church and of
the Miners Union. Dan Gallagher was
with him in his last hours on Wednesday
evening. He t~elegraphed the brother
Hugh, at Butte, informing him of the
extreme sickness, receiving a prompt re-
ply that the party addressed would start
for Neihart at once.
The body was taken to Cooks under
taking rooms and prepared for burial.
1t is not yet known what arrangements
will be made, but the remains will prob
ably be taken to Pennsylvania for bur-
ial.

1t Is not generally understood mat
foreign bodies may sometimes be
found in the eye, and that it is pos
slble for the patient himself to dis
cover their existence if they are i'll
the front portion of the eye. Small
Opaque particles are often found in
the vitreous fluid and are detected
by raising the eyes to the ceiling,
then suddenly bringing them down
to the level of the head, keeping the
gaze fixed upon some point. The face
should be turned toward a window,
and if the light is exceedingly bright
should be in shadow. A little r
tice will enable the patient to see a
number of small dark spots, that
appear to be settling down as bits of
SCOT, float gently downward through
the air. One eye contains what looks
like a wool fiber with white OPAQUE
beads strung upon it at intervals. In
another are several loops of similar
fiber, some of which seem to be COW
cred with a thin film. How these oh.
jects got into the eyes is one of the
mysteries of nature. There are many
curious things to be learned about
the eyes if one takes the trouble to
study the way to observe them. 1t
is necessary to fix tho gaze upon
some inconspicuous object and then
try to see nothing beyond the eye it
self. Several efforts may be neces-
sary before n acquires the ability
to examine his W eyes for beams
and notes, but once learned there is
usually al expression of surprise be-
cause it could not be done at thefrst
time of trying.-New York Ledger.
