In Your Blood.

Is the cause of that tired, languft
feeling which afflcts you at this sea-
son. The blood is impure and has
become thin and poor. That is why
you have no strength, no appetite,
cannot sleep. Purify your blood with
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which will give
you an appetite, tone your stomach,
and invigorate your nerves.

"Vixen!' The word came from
Georges lips with a long sigh OF
JOY, and with one bound he was at
the side OF the black mare he had

had both arms about her neck

than anything else in th1s wor}d!'
And he buried his face IN the
pretty creatures name, and IN
spite Of his eighteen years, fairly
broke down and sobbed.
That ended Georges desire to
leave the farm. He was never
again heard to mention the sub
ject, and he grumbled no more
about hard work and the monotony
Of his life, but in every way tried
to show his appreciation Of his
fathers kindness. In fact, Eli
HARDWOOD was wont to say occas-
ion3lly in confidence to his wife
that he had reason to bless his
slster-in-law for good advice and
that he owed it to her that he had
a stalwart arm to lean on in ad-
vancing years.
But George never knew to what
he owed the change in his fortune.

To the depths OF disgrace and sin;
Down to a worthless being.
From the hopes d What might have been
For the brand OF a beast b-7Otted,
He bartered his manhJod'o crown;
Through the gate OF sinful pleasure
My poor, weak boy went down.

Going to Leave the Farm.

The work of the farmhouse was
over for the day; the children
with the exception Of the oldest
son, who bad gone to the village
we're in bed, and in the big COM
Portable kitchen Farmer Harwood,
his wife, and his wife sister, Mrs.
Lucas, were sitting around cen
ter table. The farmer was reading
paper, his wife was putting a
patch on the knee of little Harrys
diminutive knickerbockers, and
Mrs. Lucas was crocheting a hood
of blue and white zephyr for a
small niece.
There was silence in the kitchen,
save for the swapping of the fire in
the stove, the ticking of the big
eight day clock in the corner and
the rustic of the farmers news
paper, and when Mrs. Harwood
sighed deeply, both her sister and
her bus band looked az IN surprise
"What's the ma't-r, Sarah"
asked the latter. That sigh was
the loudest l ever heard you give.
Has anything gone wrong? You
look as though you have big load

dizziness of his life. And today I
heard him say to Jasper Flint that
he would not be here 4 month from
now; that he had enough Of farm
life; and if we refused our consent
to ir he would run away and take
his chances.
"We'll see about that" said the
farmer, angTily. Consent to it!

it for a moment. What would he

him go! He'd fall in with all sorts

 Work.

The chamber of commerce held a meeting last night at the opera house for the purpose of electing a board of directors for the ensuing year. Pres ident Kellner presided. Secretary Bruce Perley read his reports with the reports of the treasurer and the audit ing committee.
 The report of the board of directors mainly dealt with the financial state of the work of the chamber of commerce One year ago the chamber was in debt s413.O9. The debt is now paid, as well as the expenses of light, rent, fuel, sec retary's hire, etc., in addition to supply ing printed matter ito the secretary to mail and furnishing postage for the same
 Reference is made to the reception extended to the world on the compile tion of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoe- nix railroad. In this the chamber took the initiative. Especial assistance was rendered by A. RedewiH, who in concert, netted the celebration $315.90.
 The membership has f1uctuated from 228 to 103.
 The secretary reported the collection or Sl,2Il.3o dues, With S353 Ill arrears. The main expenditures were: Printed matter and printing, s216.6O; salary of secretary, s523.5O; postage, s71.56; of fee rent, S240; office expense, $71; pay ments on old Indebtedness, $413,08; furniture and fixtures, $30.23; total, S1, 1,561.97.

RUSSIA'S COINAGE.
New Monetary Schemes Excite Interest
 Among Financiers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The cable gram announcing the intention for the Russian government to coin next year " million dollars in gold and 1914 mil lions in silver, in addition Ito the sub sidary coinage, has created considera- ble interest among financiers
 While Russia holds in coin and bull lion between 400 and 800 millions of gold, she has recently coined very little of this, the total for the past four years being s7,2O7,61 For the same period her silver coinage amounted to 10,626,- 442. In 1894 the gold coinage amount ed to s2y225, ,231 and the silver coinage to $2,515, ,1S2. It is thought in some quarters that the general purpose of this increase is to begin preparation for the redemption of the Russian paper, which is the principal currency in cir culation in the empire. Last August the imperial bank held $829,0O0,O00 in paper.
 It is also considered probable that in increasing her silver coinage as she is doing, Russia is preparing to extend her trade into the silver United States ingots of the orient and supply China

CUBAN PUBLISHERS.
Action of the American Government in
 Their Cases.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2O-It can be definitely stated that in dealing with filibustrers against the Spanish au- thority in Cuba the United States will not take any action for the sole pur- pose of securing delay in restoring arms to masters of vessels which upon arrival have been acquitted of the charge brought against them
 Recently a United States attorney instituted proceedings for libel against suspected vessel, which was dis missed because of some technical ir- regularity. Today he was instructed by the government ito reinstate the proceedings and to prosecute it if in his opinion there was reason to believe that a judgment for the government could be recovered. No proceedings should be instituted nor returned to the docket merely for the purpose of detaining arms or men or vessels The duty and object of the govern ment, this high authority declares was the observance and enforcemen of the laws with rigid impartiality.

ANOTHER AMERICAN SHIP.
Ordered to Proceed to the Coast ol
 Syria

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The Min neapolis has been ordered to join the European squadron immediately on account of the Turkish disturbances. Orders to Captain Wadleigh of the Minneapolis are to report to Admiral Selfridge upon reaching Gibraltar, but. unless the admiral issues other orders by that time, the ship will now make Smyrna her destination.
 This point is believed to be as near as warship can get to the American mission stations believed by missionary boards in this country to be endan- gered by the general uprising of Mus selmans in Asia Minor
 While the state department author ities felt that due precaution had been taken in the ordering of two vessels, the San Francisco and the Marblehead, to this coast, still the point was yielded to make the safety of missionaries ad- ditionally secure, and after advising with Minister Terrill, orders to the Minneapolis were forwarded.

ANNEXATION TALK REVIVED.
The President Said to Be Not Unfavor
 able to Taking in Hawaii.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-A Washington special to the Times-Herald says: Hawaii may after all become a part of the United States, and that within the coming year. Information of a trustworthy nature has been secured concerning the Hawaiian programme to be adopted by the friends of annexa- tion during the coming winter. A joint resolution will be introduced either in the house or senate requesting the president to negotiate a treaty of an- nexation with the government of Ha- waii. This resolution will have the sanction of the president of Hawaii and of the new Hawaiian minister to this capital, Mr. Hatch, who today ar rived in San Francisco en route to Washington. Still more important, it will have the approval of President Cleveland. The resolution as intro duced or amended will provide that if the president concurs and the govern ment of Hawaii be willing, the scheme of annexation shall include submis- sion of the question of joining the American Union to the voters of the island.'

SPANISH PICKERING
Declared to Be the Main Trouble in
 Cuba.

HAVANA, Nov. 20.-The leading army journal caused a sensation today by heading an editorial, Great Shame and a Great Misfortune
 Among other things the editorial said, "A sorrowful spectacle is present. ed to the eyes of watching world. Af- ter all Spain's sacrifices, made to oom- bat the enemy in Cuba she finds her chief enemy among her own people on the island.
 The editorial then refers to the re- formists raising internal political dis sensions, provoking criticism of gov ernment acts wherever they should act in unison to strengthen Spain's hands, instead of resorting to private picker ings and almost challenging the gov erQment itself.
