A Fuss Made About a Half inch.

Maine man from regions where land
is tolerably plenty and an acre does not
seem very large piece invested in lot in
the suburbs of Boston and set about grad
ing and arranging his fences much as he
would in Maine. He covered up one corner
bound and then built his fence "about"
where he thought the line was. Imagine
his surprise when the adjoining owner APP
peared in great fiutter over his proceed
ings. The line was relocated by survey
or, when it was found the Maine mans
fence encroached one-half an inch on his
neighbor, and he had to set it over. As
much fuss was made over it as a 10 acre
piece would cause in his Maine home

SYMPATHETIC PAINS,

The different organs of the body are very
sympathetic. One is very apt to feel the
pain of another, and it is not always easy
to locate the trouble exactly. A weak back
not infrequently occasions a pain in the
side. and one limb often aches out of sym-
pathy for another.
At!cooK's Porous PLAsTERs are Just the
remedy in such cases. They aye soothing

that the back or side or limbs are supple
instead OF stiff, and free to perform their
functions
They have been tried by thousands and

THE ROSE TREE.


The child lies under the rose tree fair;
The pink buds swell in the soft May air:
On snowy wings in her dreams she flies
With angel playmates in paradise
And the years fit by.
The maiden stands by the rose tree fair.
In the perfumed breath of the summer air:
She presses her hand on her throbbing breast;
Life hath brought her guerdon at loves be-
hest
And the years fit by
The mother kneels by the rose tree fair,
In mournful hush of the evening air;
She thinks of the treasures of vanished years;
Her eyes are trimming with bitter tears
And the years fit by.
The north wind hath robbed the rose tree fair;
Its bare boughs sway in the frosty air;
Beneath it the withered leaves are spread,
And the mound they caress is mound of the
dead
And the years fit by.
From the German of Ferrand by Bertha F.
Strong.

A Useful Cigar.

A good story is told of a sea captain
who died not long ago and who was for
merly in command of a ship in which pas
sengers were carried from London to Lis
bon says Tit Bits. On one occasion the
ship caught fire and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take hurriedly to
the boats. The captain remained perfect
ly cool throughout all the confusion and
fright of the debarkation and at last every
one except himself was got safely into the
boats.
BY the time he was ready to follow the
passengers We're almost wild with fear
and excitement. Instead of hurying down
the ladder the captain called out to the
sailors to hold on a minute and taking a
cigar from his pocket, coolly lighted 1t with
a bit of burning rope which had fallen
from the rigging at his feet. Then he de-
seconded with elaboration and gave the
order to push off.
How could you stop 10 light a cigar at
such a moment?' he was asked afterward,
when some of the passengers were talk
ing over their escape.
Because" he answered, 81 saw that If
did not do something to divert the minds
of those in the boat there was likely TO be
a panic, and, overcrowded, as it was,
there was danger of the boat being upset.
The act took but a moment, but it attract
ed the attention of everybody. l was not
nearly so unconcerned as / seemed to be
but was in reality in a fever of excitement
My little plan succeeded. You all forgot
yourselves because you were thinking of
my curious behavior and we got of safely"

I'm. Calamity HnrIerr.

There are newspapers that are doing
what they can TO weaken confidence in
the ability OF the treasury 10 meet its
obligations. It nay be that they would
not gladly see the treasury brought 10
the verge OF bankruptcy. though some OF
them would not hesitate 70 assist in
bringing IL TO that condition, II they
thought they could inJure the administra-
ton OF the Democratic party by doing
so. In their opinion the credit Of the
nation is Of no consequence in comparison
with the success Of their political party
or faction.
The most OF the papers, however, that
publish sensational articles about the
treasury are Influenced wholly by a de-
sire TO attract notice by statements that
are calculated TO excite and alarm the
people. They are not careful to publish
the truth or to show that their calamity
dispatches do not mean as much as
they appear to mean.
For a week or more dispatches from
Washington have been appearing in GER
tain newspapers to the effect that the
revenues Of the government are falling
far below the expenditures. leaving the
impression that the treasury is rapidly
approaching bankruptcy.
While it is true that there were certain
heavy expenditures at the beginning Of
this month, it is not true that there has
been a falling off in the revenues. As
a matter Of fact. the revenues are steadily
increasing. being considerably great
er this month than they were
last. The condition of the treas
ury is gradually improving. so much
so, in fact, that the Secretary OF the
Treasury speaks very hopefully and con-
hdently of the ability of the treasury to
meet all it's obligations without the as
sistance of further loans. The occupa-
ton of the calamity howlers will soon be
gone.
