He had been gone only few moments
when Mr.. Brayton came in from his
office
Miss Curry" he said. wouldn't
You like little trip? Our visitor has
lett the treasured eye behind him, and
he may wish it. You might follow the
youngster and see the end of this mat
ter"
Miss Curry, nothing 10th, shut her
machine and departed. She caught
sight of johnnie just us he went into
the ferry, and she followed him On to
the train and steppeds OF at the little
village where he did
But then she couldn't keep up with
him. She saw him turn into a house
and when once she reached it, she
paused at the open door
There was a little girl standing,
looking eXpectantly at Johnnie, who
eXcitedly was turning his pockets in
side out, in vain search for the eye.
II had it! | had it," he declared,
and his face grew troubled, and finally
the tears rolled down his cheeks.
1T was such a lovely eye" he
moaned; blue, just like yours, and
now it's lost, and hate myself" and
he threw himself into a chair, as if all
hope were gone.
The weary faced mother turned her
face away. Nellie's lips quivered, but
she swallowed the sobs.
Never mind, Johnnie" she said,
stroliing the freckled, tear-stained face
of the boy, never mind, Johnnie.
You know it couldn't make me see, and
! guess don't look so very bad" and
she put her hand to the bandaged eye.
Then she looked up, for a strange
lady stood in the door and handed her
package.
See, Johnnie!' she cried.
Johnnie dashed the tears from his
eyes and looked at the package. His
face grew bright and he tore off the
papers, touched the spring of the box,
and there on its white cushion Law the
blue eye, smiling like Nellie's own.
The eye! the eye!" he shouted.
''See, Nellie; it's your very own;" and
he threw his arms about her and kissed
her again and again.
And Miss Curry, the tears fast blind
ing her eyes, hurried away from the
happy scene.
This is no regulation story Johnnie
Lee did not become Mr.. Brayton's office
boy and finally q millionaire himself
Young Temple and the typewriter did
not marry each other and live happy
ever after"
In fact, the whole episode was soon
! forgotten.
But in the fat-away country town
where Johnnie is growing to sturdy
manhood, the story OF his trip to New
York is ever new one.
Strangers sometimes speak of the
marvellous blue OF Nellie's eyes, with
their long curling lGshcs.
Then shc will repeat the words to
Johnnie as he stops to leave the milk
and chat, aad they will laugh softly
together while their faces are bright
with happiness,-N. y. Independent.

Was the Testimonial Benefit to Miss Ethel Houston at 0Brens Last Night
 The Programme.

The concert at O'Brien's last night complimentary to Miss Ethel Houston was we'll patronized by the people of Birmingham, with whom she is deserv- edly popular Miss Houston has de- lighted many audiences with her mag nificent voice, and it was but just tribute that on theseve of her departure a testimonial, such as that last night, should be given her.

Reply to MT. Glenn.

In writing the article, Wisdom Comes With Years" I only used the case of Dr Riddick for illustration. I did not have in mind the drawing of an invidious distinction between southern and north ern Methodism, although now that the question has been sprung by MT. Glenn it opens up an interesting field of inquiry. pr. Riddick changed-there is no doubt of that-and the fact that he changed went to prove the point I was trying to make. The very fact that man can change his views in his mature years, shows that he has broadened. He has the wisdom to adapt himself to changed conditions. The politicians who claim that they are consistent because they have always advocated the free and un- limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, are not consistent The compara- tive value of the two metals has changed, conditions have changed, and they have not the breadth to change with the change.

 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly an- nounced through the columns of the Her. ald that he would treat only a special class of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieve with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.
 Birmingham Daily News.l
 No specialist in the south is more fa- miliar with the treatment of private troubles than Dr. Y. E. Holloway. Dur ing his long residence in this city he has successfully treated many thousands of pa- tients suffering with private troubles Of every conceivable form. This great expe- rience, together with his skill and ability, not only places the doctor at the head of his profession in such matters, but is guarantee to all that place themselves un- der his care that they will receive the best treatment possible to be obtained.

Charles A. Dana, Of the New York
Sun has been sued for libel by Frank
B. Noyes, one Of the employees of the
Washington Star. This matter grows
out Of somewhat strained relations
between the Associated and the United
Press Associations. Editor Dana is
one Of the leading officials Of the United
rress, while Mr. Ncycs is connected in
an official capacity with the rival as
socsation. AS is we'll known, a bitter
antagonism exists between these two
organizations. Mr.. Noyes has seized
upon certain derogatory statements
which recently appeared in the Sun
and has used them as foundation np-
on which to base an action for libel.
Tut the whole matter IS tght between
two great press associations rather than
6 personal quarrel. Editor Dana is the
recognized dean Of American journal
isIu. He always has demonstrated
ability to fight his own battles success
fully and to eaEe care Of himself, and
lie may safely be left to do so in the
present Instance. But oDe may be par

Delicious Corn Pone.

The ingredients are two coffee cups
# cornmenal, one quart Of milk, four
eggs, one tablespoonful Of drawn but
ter, one teaspoonful Of salt and one
teaspoonful Of sugar, writes Mary SAT-
ford IN Ladies' Home Journal. Beat
the eggs thoroughly; add the meal,
butter, sugar and salt, and scald the
whole with the milk, which has been
previously set on to boil. Have ready
a buttered turks head" or falling
that rather deep pans; pour in at
once and hurry into the oven. Do not
let the thin appearance Of the batter
tempt you to add more meal-as has
happened more than once when this
receipt was being tried, to the serious
injury Of the pone. The four eggs will
stifen it sufficiently, and the richness
and delicacy Of the cake are largely
due to the small proportion Of meal.
The turks head" is preferable to the
ordinary pan because the hole In the
center, which permits the hot air to
rise, diffuses the heat more equally
through the mixture. Bake In quicy
oven.

THE &oLu SCRAP BOOK

When the days begin to darkeo,
And the rolling stone has stopped,
When an actors travels over,
And from the list he's dropped,
He seeks for consolation,
And knows just where to look.
For they treat him very kindly in
The Old Scrap Book.
What memories it awakens,
As he turns its pages Ger
He feels himself boy again,
As in the days of yore.
1t brings to mind companions,
Firm friends both good and true;
1t speaks Of him as handsome
And he believes it, too.
It brings him back to "Old Stock Days.
When acting was an art,
When every man was tested
Of his worth to play part.
1t tells him of the ''hit'' he made,
One time as "Richelieu,"
And how he set 'em crazy :!
One night in kalamazoo.
It speaks of him as Romeo"
And says he played the part
As though each line to Juliet
He meant with all his heart.
No truer words were ever penned,
The Old Scrap Book speaks true
BE loved her-loved his Juliet
She loved him dearly, too.
He married her, now settled down,
In cozy little home,
6e's happy and contented,
And no more he'll have to roam.
They call him Of the "Old School"
But if you care to look
You'll find that he has "won his spur

Anxiety While Dying Of an India1
Woman to Fulfill Her Promise.
A woman on the West Side whosf
early predictions created prejudice
against Indians Is now friend Of the
decaying race. It came about In a
pretty way and the incident has also
a sorrowful tinge. A Sioux Indian and
his squaw, whom the woman's husband
had known out West, were returning
from Europe, where they had been al
attaches Of Buffalo Bills Wild West
When they came to Chicago they
stopped over day and hunted up the
pale-face whom they had known out
West. He hired carriage and took
them out to his home, which surprised
bis wife not q little, and there they
we're entertained at dinner. The squaw
spoke no language but her own. Her
man knew enough English to make
himself understood. Both were IN their
visiting colors. They didn't Ike the
blue points and oysters, but when the
roast beef (wo-haw) was brought on
the eyes Of the squaw bulged out and
she clapped her hands. She de7oured
it slice by slice and in manner calcu.
lated to shock the wife Of the pale
face.
After dinner the squaw sang for the
paleface woman and her papoooses to
show her gratitude. Then, through her
man, she had the raeface woman take
of her shoes and stand On sheet Of
paper. The sauaw took bit Of pencil
and drew the shape Of the feet The
suuaw's man informed the paleface
woman that she would make and send
her pair Of split bead moccasins from
the tepee as soon as they could be made.
The Indians went sway that night,
westward bound, and months passed
by. The West Side wife playfully
chided her husband about his lavish
entertainment Of the reds and their
mock gratitude. He said: "Waitw In

age was delivered to the house. 1t waa
opened and there were the split bead
moccasins made by the squaw. There
also was the information that she had
died about the time the moccasins werf
completed.
In crude sort Of way, but all th>
more tender on account Of its simplici.
ty, the Indian explained that his squaw
would have sent the moccasins sooner,
but she had been sick and her work
had been delayed, and that she was
afraid she would not live to keep bel
word to the paleface woman who had
entertained her with such good wo-haw.
There were some tender words spoken
IN the home Of the West Side palefaca
that night, and even now, when the
wife Of the paleface tells the incident
there is slight formulation In the lips
and moisture about the eyes Chico

tains protective tariff on wheat that
keeps prices in Paris at from 8S cents ia
S1.46 per 20 pounds above the prices
In Belgium, Holland and the United
Kingdom, into which countries wheat
enters free Of duty. The contest is q
sharp one between the bread-eaters
and the wheat-raisers, with the bread
eaters everywhere in advance. It
would be more accurate to say that the
contest Of the bread-eaters was with
the owners Of land on which wheat Is
raised and from which they can get
little or no revenue at the present prices
Of the grain.
The Cincinnati Price Current few
weeks since quoted from daily news
paper Of that city statement made by
business man who is interested in
farming operations in Pawnee County,
Kansas, and whose conclusions as to
the cost Of producing wheat were quite
1T variance with prevailing opinion.
The Price Current then said: "The
statement mentioned recognized $3.0a
as the cost per acre for raising wheat
or fraetienally less than 1e cents per
bushel on a yield Of twenty bushels per
acre. Two Of our readers, extensive
farmers In Kansas and Nebraska, have
criticised the statement referred to
from the standpoint Of conditions ex-
perienced by themselves, and have CIV
en- facts which will be found interest-
Ing and instructive. It Is manifest that
:hese correspondents are prompted only
by desire to present facts and to cor.
rect erroneous and necessarily mislead-
Ing information. Our Kansas CORE.
spondent, who devotes 200 acres to
wheat culture, figures out the average
result Of his four crops Of wheat at
fifteen bushels per acre, costing him
1854 per acre, or 81 cents per bushel.
This includes the living expense ac.
count Of himself and family. The Ne.
braska correspondent is much more ex-
tensively engaged in farming opera
lions, his interest covering 1000 acres
In the southeastern section Of the State.
It might be noted that he isIfeeding
wheat largely, expecting to thus dis
pose Of 10000 bushels this season-tho
product Of about 1000 acres. He esti-
mates the cost Of wheat production at
S6.25 per acre, and recognizes the aver.
age yield for the eastern half Of KANSAS
and Nebraska for ten years as some
thing less than sixteen bushels per acre,
making the cost approximately 40 cent?
per bushel."
