James Jinks was born in 81, and when the
babe arrove
The wise old neghbors toddled in and sal
around the stove
And said they reckoned that the kid would not
be worth blame
His father was trifling cuss; his mother wa;
the same.
They all agreed that Jinl1s' heir was born to
grief and woe,
And then they toddled out again, the men oi
Broken Bow.
The baby grew and grew and grew and throvt
and throve and throve
Until at manhood's high estate he gracefully
arrove.
None better knew to whittle sticks or whistle
"Belle Mahone,"
But IL friend suggested work he'd only weep
and moan.
The wise men shook their hoary heads and
said 81 told you so,'
When Jinks the younger loafed around the
streets of Broken Bow.
He took farm at twenty-one and sowed a lit.
tie grain
And raised the finest crop of weeds that ever
graced the plain.
The burdock and the cocklebur and jimson
The only corn our hero raised was on his
ample foot,
And then he sadly realized that farming
wouldn't go
And drifted. back to loaf around the streets OF
Broken Bow.
And then he bought little sheet and nodded
thought awhile;
The kind Of thought he used to mold made all
his readers smile,
And so they called, beseeching him to go to
DIR. Hay
Av,I ha~ ,toIv ~
ed right away.
The sheriff took his fountain pen and closed
his moral show,
And once again he loafed and loafed all over
Broken Bow.
He got a little country school and as a teacher
taught,
he took little crossroads church and as o
preacher praught,
He tinkered for month or two, repairing an.
cient tins,
He opened up a barber shop and butchered
peoples chins,
But failure roasted on his flag wherever he
And so at last no only loafed and ioafed at
Broken Bow.
And as he loafed and talked streak, as loafers
| always do;
He said that t Wall street kept him poor and
| He knew just how the government should run
20 do Us good,
And so he talked and talked away while other
men sawed wood
| He talked so long, he talked 30 loud Of ruin
and OF woe
That people came TO think no was the sage o
Broken Bow.
We follow his career no more, the rest yor
surely know
| The man who failed at everything made money
out Of woe.
Ho helps TO run the government, and there are
folks around
Who say his great ambition is to run 10 in the
ground
| But still the wise men shake their heads and
say, 81 told you so,"
! And life, a calm and peaceful stream, rolls ON
st Broken Bow.

Nervousness

Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person Is weak and ner-
vous whose blood Is perfectly pure.
When the blood Is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give II vitality, when Il
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues OF the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
Vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, a. Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures oil blood diseases, 1t is the best
remedy for that condition Of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness owhen you
are taking a preparation which only
quiets your nerves! 1t Is like trying to
"drown" your sorrows In the flowing
bowl. They are sure to return.
We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism:
You cannot purify your blood by
DEADENNG or QUIETNG your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
pounds. II you take such articles
you are only THRILLING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be a REAC-
TIoN which will leave you worse than
you were before.
Why not then, take the true course,
follow the bee line to the state OF
health, purify your blood and cure
your Nervousness by taking

TURKEY HOLDS BACK.
Unwilling TO Grant Reforms Asked
For by the Powers.
Armenia May Yet Be Severed
From the Empire.
Outline Of Demands Made by British, French
and Russian Nations.

LONDON, June 6.-The correspondent
Of The Standard at Constantinople tele-
graphs as follows: learn from trust
worthy source that the reply Of the porte
20 the British, French and Russian notes
in reference to reforms in Armenia rejects
the proposal to appoint high commits
sioner In Armenia and a mixed commits
sion, and proposes that merely to apply
the reforms provided for in the old Aris-
tarchi code, which has been nominally In
force during the last half century. The
~eply also grants amnesty to all Arme-
mans who have been implicated in recent
events in Armenia.
Inan editorial article commenting on the
foregoing dispatch from Constantinople,
The Standard suggests that the rejection
of the scheme proposed by the powers Is
device for the purpose of gaining time.
The sultan, ii says, must make his choice.
He must accept the reforms proposed or
see Armenia severed from his empire.
Despite the statement of the porte that
the presence of the II British warships at
Beyrout has no significance, 1t is yet quite
possible that England anticipated the re-
lection of the Armenian proposals and in
tended the squadron as a threat to the sui
tan. According to the above dispatch he
did not scare.
What Was Demanded.
The reforms demanded in the notes sent
to the porte by England, France and Rus
s!a are applicable to the administrative,
financial and judicial Tstems of Armenia.
In the six vilayets 6 Van, Erzeroum,
Sivas, Bitlis, Kharput and Trebizond the
governors are to be Mohammedan or Chris
tian, according to the majority of the
2eople; but the vice governor shall be of
the minority faith.
The boundaries of subordinate districts
are SO to be adjusted as to group together
people Of the same faith as far as possible.
The taxes are not to be collected by sol
diers or treasury agents, but are to be col
lected by municipal agents in accordance
with general rate determined by the pro-
vincial council.
Each communal treasury shall retain
what is needed for local expenses and send
the remainder to the district treasury; 1t
shall in like manner send its surplus to
the department treasury; 1t in turn to the
provincial treasury; and it, finally, to
Constantinople. In every particular this
tax system will be the exact reverse of
that now in force. In judicial matters re-
forms are equally sweeping.
The whole court system is to be reor-
ganized Arrests are to be made only on
due warrant, and prompt trial must
follow, with immediate release in case Of
ncquittal. Judges are to be Mohammedan
and Christian in proportion to the popula-
tion, and SO are the police to be. The
Kurds are no longer to bear arms, except
in time Of drill and review and in actual
war.
Finally, to see that these reforms are ex-
scuted, there is to be high commissioner
for Armenia, with whom shall be associ-
ated joint commission appointed by the
powers.

George Davenport
On Juno 12, in Columbia, Mo-, George
Davenport and Mrs. John Smallwood will

The wedding VIII, be the closing OF series
of peculiar circumstances which, In several
particulars, resemble the stories OF Enoch

Davenport left his wife and children and
enlisted in the Union army. At Shiloh he
was seriously wourded and left on the
field. News reached his wife that he wa
dead. Many years elapsed and as sht
heard no more from him she concluded
that nc was dead beyond doubt. JOIN
Smallwood an old companion OF hei
youth, pressed her to marry him, and after
waiting scar to make sure that her hus
band was no more she finally accepted the
offer and became Mrs. John Smallwood.
George Davenport, the missing husband,
after the battle Of Shiloh was taken to
hospital, and after three months OF suffer
ing was discharged, but I'm such feeble
health that he was unable to again join the
army. He was preparing to return home,
when he received word that his wife and
two childra4 had been accidentally killed
He believed the story, and, destitute and
wretched, he decided not to return home
and wandered to California, where he 70
maincd for nearly 80 years.
About year ago he moved to Kansas
and entered the Old Soldiers home at
Leavenworth. While here he saw an item
in newspaper which apprised him of the
fact that his family was still alive. Has
tily he returned to Boone county and found
that his wife was widow. Davenport
introduced himself but at first his wife
refused to believe his story. After dra
matte scene and a closer examination OF
his features she finally became convinced
that his story was true, and on June II
they will again be united in marriage

Errors OF Judgment.

HALIFAX, June 5.-There is spot on
the northeast bar of Sable island where
thousands of seals go to have their young.
1t is alleged that permission has been
granted to set travis there, which means
great persecution of the seals. Foxes were
also landed on the island three years ago,
the avowed object being the extermina-
ton of the cats which abounded, but in
stead the foxes have driven away the
black and shell ducks from what was a
favorite resort. The matter will be
brought to the notice of the department
to whose province the island is in.

DULUTH. Mimi. March 8, 1885,
Shortly after midnight Mrs. Richards
fine Northern Pacific agent. at Kimberly,
a. small station near Brainard. overheard
two men outside her window planning
to rob the eastbound express. One OF
them wanted to throw ties ON the track
hut the other was of the opinion that
the best plan would be to wreck the train
at the east end of the bridge. 1T couio
be done in such a way that the express
car would not fall into the river Just
as they had settled on this plan the
woman got out of bed to give the alarm.
Before she touched the telegraph key
one of the robbers proposed to go in
side the station and await the train
which was not due for several hours.
at the same time trying to Smash the
door in. Instantly the woman grabbed
her revolver and put several bullets
through the door. causing the surprised
desperadoes to flee.
Word was telegraphed along the line
