How Mr.. Payson Saved His Daughters
Life

Miss Olive Payson was born in Maine
and is now twenty-five years old. Five
years ago she left her fathers house full
of life and hope, going to Providence, h.
l., to engage in the jewelry business.
She had always enjoyed the best of health
until about two years ago, when her
health began to fail, with a slight hack
ing cough, and she began to fade away.
This slight cough was a danger signal.
1t increased in violence, and night sweats
set in with pains through her chest and
lungs. Her food distressed her and June,
1894, found her on sick bed, a mere
wreck OF her former self. She had en-
ployed the ablest physicians in Provi-
dence who were second to none in the
treatment of general diseases. but the
treatment OF tubercular consumption
batfled heir skill, and she was fast going
down to the grave. They dispatched to
her mother W no at once went to her bed
side, and by careful nursing for several
days SO revived her daughter that she
started with her for her home in Maine,
landing on the wharf at Belfast one
bright sunny morning last June. With
aid and assistance she was placed in an
easy carriage and taken to her fathers
house. He was astonished AZ the CHASTITY
appearance of her features and quickly
noted the plain symptoms OF that dead
ly disease. consumption. He WAS thor
oughly aroused and fearfully frightened
to see his daughter but one step from the
grave. He had but one hope. He had
heard of the many wonderful cures by the
use of Rodofs New Medical Discovery,
and Cream Emulsion He knew by repu
tstion, several physicians who recon-
mended it. He also personally knew of
some wonderful cures in his own vicinity.
He at once placed his daughter under
this treatment. Her appetite improved,
cough subsidized, and to say she gained
rapidly would be putting il mildly. She
continued he use OF these great remedies
until last fall when she considered her
self cured, and started for Providence to
resume her business once more.

If wheat has been so greatly injured
by the SHOWS and frosts in May that
the sudden rise of twelve cents in two
weeks is justified, the calamity will
affect all business prospects, says
Dun's Rertelc of May 25. The mar

COLA ron, leather and hides still
rise. and no holders of wheat would
sell at eighty cents, lower price
than h@1 hccn known at this season
for thirty years prior to 1898, if cur
rent reports We're credited.
Some injury has undoubtedly been
sustained, bat our own dispatches do
not show chat it is really serious.
The fact Is that relief from long auN-
iety. and The abundance and cheap
ness Of money for which industry
and legitimate trade give as yet 10

...=.=- =. t.Ie secretary of state.
Tie President will keenly feel the
loss lie as.s met with in the death Of
the saasat.v of state. the late Hon.
Walter Q. Gresham.
Judge Gresham had a most happy
faculty O making friends, and we
have no doubt that the President and
he had become personally attached to
each other Their views as to the
policy OF the administration touching
our FOREIGN relations have appeared to
be in accord. and whatever may be
the division in public sentiment as to
that policy, the two men, to all APP
pearance. have always worked cor
daily together with a common pur-
pose animatiAg them
We do not think that Mr.. Cleveland
and his premier have, in the action
they have taken in the Hawaiian
troubles. met the general approval of
the country. but they evidently be-
ieyed from the beginning of those
troubles that the fallen queen had
been badly treated by her subjects,
and that. al vhe outset, our minister
had unjustifiably engaged in con-
spiracy to depose her, and that the
present administration was in duty
bound to set right the wrong which
had been done.
All the acts of the President and
Judge Gresham in the premises are
made clear and plain in their purpose
under this hypothesis.
The people of the United States and
the majority in Congress took the
Other sii,l5-the right side, as probably
nine persons out of ten in Maine be-
ieve-and Judge Gresham and his
chief Yielded; and there is no good
reason for saying that, whatever dis
comfiture they may have felt, they
have not in the last few months ac-
cepted the situation and made the
best of it.
The late secretary of state was GER
tainly no lingo, and did not run his
department with a challenging chip
on his shoulder; but while he was not
wholly up 10 what we call the repre-
sentative american" sentiment, his
long and faithful public career, his
eminent sers ice in the field and in
civil life, entitle him to be estimated
as patricia lover of his country.
Many men who knew him and liked
him will always think kindly of him,
and time will give him his true place
in our countrv's history.

streets and gaze on the people aud
into the shop windows like pair Of
children Mt the circus. One day they
stopped before the shop window OF u

FORGOTTEN.


The world moves on and yet you are away;
There is the lustre OF the stars each sum-
mer night,
The glory of the sky and sea each dawning
day,
While every noontide wears its crown OF
radiant light;
And only in my heart the gray ghost OF do
spair
Sits with folded wings and broodeth there.
II through the darkness Of my souls eclipse
One ray OF amber brightness could have
shone,
II would have been to see your smileess lips
And know the gladncss from your eyes hal
flown;
might have been content to walk apart.
Knowing the same unrest was In your hear.
Unseen, forlorn I stood and saw you pass,
And as the last glimpse Of your form ami
face
Vanished like frosty tracery on glass.
The dark Of midnight seemed to nll tho
place
That last glimpse | had meant TO priz,
Revealed the warm, glad laughter ia your
eyes.

A Man Who Dives Sixty Feet IntO
Seven Feet OF Water.

There is pool of black water
twenty-four feet in diameter and seven
feet deep in the middle, tapering to
two feet of depth at the edges Before
the diver appears a party OF clowns
play around the pool. A stream (of
water gushes up from pipe standing
in the middle, and the fountain is
radiant in greens aud reds and blues.
The pipe falls over, and three men
drag it away. Louis Golden marches
confidently to the edge of the pool.
He watches the men with a great deal
OF care as they take away the pipe. Ii
they should forget to remove il the
consequences might.be serious. A boat
lies at one side of the littlo lake and n
canoe rocks at the other There is a
log floating near by. The diver thrusts
one foot into sling at the end of a
long tackle, and gang of men walk
away with the rope. Up, up, up
he goes, as If his journey would never
end.
Now the diver stands upon plank
stretched between two of the iron
trusses that support the roof of the
building. He looks no bigger than
ten-year-old boy, One of the clowns
looks up at him and yells through his
curved hand. "All clear below" His
voice has the sound of dirge.
The diver then poises himself on tip
toe. Twice he bends his knees swiftly,
as il trying their suppleness. Then
he stretches his arms horizontally and
moves them with the movement OF hy-
ing. He leans far forward-gurther
-.urther-further-.-and then launches
himself from his foothold. His body
seems to lie Hat upon the air. Swilter
and swifter it flies. Within few
yards OF the water the hands meet
above the mans head. He bends for.
ward tribe. In this position he
crashes into the pool, just Mt the mid
die of it, plunges to ths bottom, anil
goes to the furthest wall Suddenly
doubling, he comes TO the surface,
swimming in the opposite direction,
aud the crowd makes up for its lost
hearts by clapping hands furiously. -

tions to give him an opportunity to
select his own advisers. In raro cases
the new President has asked some of
the old cabinet officers to remain. As
a rule, he has chosen his heads of de-
peartments from his own political
friends and advisers.
Montgomery Blair resigned the
Postmaster. .Generalship in Lincoln's
cabinet because he was not entirely
in accord with the Presidents policy.
William Dennison, an appointee OF
Lincoln's, resigned because he did
not get on with Lincoln's successor.

tary Bristow, whom he had supported

Federal Government was moved from
New York City.
Men soon tire. as a rule, of the labor
demanded by the Government, with
its accompaniment of nervous anxiety
over the distribution of offices and the
question OF party policy in little
things and great. Dissatisfaction with
the drudgery of the Office and its
meagre rewards has led many men to
retire from cabinet positions. Mr..
Cleveland has been singularlyi FORUM

two years. - --Harper's Weekly.

Daniel Boone's Tree Autograph.

Daniel Boone's auto graph has been
found in the bark OF large beech tree
on farm in Allen County, Kentucky.
From appearances the name WAS ut
first cut by single stroke of the
knife in the bark, but now the letters
have grown until they are at least
two inches in wi 18th. On one side OF
the tree is aIplace so shaped as to fur
nish an excellent place for taking n
rest. 1t is supposed that Boone once
sat npon that seat while hunting in
the hills of Allen County more than a
hundred years ago and cut his name
and the date upon the tree. New
