THE STRAYED REVELER.


As she fees up the mountain side
The valley is astir
With gay companions racing wide
In vain pursuit Of her.
In every tangled copse they seem
To see her streaming hair.
And where the wild white lilies gleam
Her face lily there.
But, laughing, hand to side to still
The beating of her heart,
Tiptoe upon the lonely hill
She stands, with lips apart.
The gay rout passes, and there falls
A silence in the place.
Again the cuckoo softly calls,
The watchful squirrels race.
Then, like sigh among the trees,
A wind is softly heard,
And, like leaf blown down the breeze,
There darts songless bird.
For one swift moment then she slips
Into world apart.
She thinks of mold upon her lips
And dust about her heart.

Riding Astrida.

the ancient dame when she rides astride,

French army, and Queen Elizabeth used
to ride to falcon hunts in this fashion
behind Lord Leicester. 1t was only in
the sixteenth century that the sidesad-
die came into use in England, and
women rode astride in Germany until
the close Of the eighteenth century. In
most foreign countries the fashion Of
riding on one side has never been

-Four Straight Flushes Result In an Equal

A straight flush in the great Ameri-

that the person holding it is regarded as
one of the most fortunate and blessed Of
mortals. Devotees of that game will
peruse the following story with incredu-
lity, but its absolute authenticity can
be verified by at least ten thoroughly
reliable witnesses: A party Of four play
ers entered placenot a thousand miles
from Summit one night not long ago
and prepared to enjoy few hours Of
recreation at their favorite game. An
other game in progress at the time was
full, so the four players We're obliged to
start at an adjoining table.
The Jack pot came around, each Of
the fouu players filed in, and the game
proceeded. The cards, regulation pack,
81 cards, were cut BY the player to the
right of the dealer and dealt out in the
regular manner. The first player to the
left Of the dealer opened the jack pot, Y

that the raising and lively chipping in
before the draw created considerable
surprise When the dealer prepared to
serve the cards for the draw. each Of the
players stood ''pat," and the betting
again started.
When each Of the players had Clipped
in SO, it was decided to stop the bet
ting, as that amount had never before
been wagered on a game in the place,
and none of the players could afford to
risk a greater amount When the hands
were shown, some Of the players almost
succumbed to heart disease, for there
lay four straight fushes, one Of each
suit and all running from four to eight.
The pot was divided, and the cards
were carefully put away in a case to be
preserved as a reminder Of the greatest
poker hands ever held in this section
and probably in the United States. =

UNCERTAIN.
Reports Not Sure Enough to
Give Stability.

NEW YORK, June 2e.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s Weekly Review of Trade, says:
Business is better, although the crop
outlook affecting prospects beyond the
near future, is a little less distinct.
There IS more ground for doubt about
winter wheat and cotton than a week
ago, and threshing receipts are COM
paratively low. though the prospects
for spring wheat are exceedingly good.
The price, a quarter of a cent lower
for the week, is, beyond mistake, too
low, if the latest impressions as to in
jury to winter wheat are correct. Re-
ceipts of the week are relatively small,
but for the four weeks they have been
5,16o, 414 bushels, against 5,794, 52s
bushels last year, while Atlantic eX-
ports, flour included, have been for
four weeks 4,912,729 bushels, against
7,444, o22 bushels last year.
Corn has declined a fraction and
pork is steady. Cotton has fallen 3-16
to cents, in spite of reports of serious
injury by rains in Texas and Louisiana.
Speculation has even spread to the
wool market and with an advance of
about l cent In prices.
The half yearly report of failures
next week will include about $500,
against 1000 for the first half of last
year, and assets of about $8e, 600, 900,
against SOL, 57s, 152 last year. But for
the cordage concern the aggregate
would be nearly % per cent less than
last year, and the manufacturing liza
bilities % per cent less, but including
it the manufacturing liabilities will
be about $40, 900, 600, against Sal, $751;
120 last year, and the trading $40, Co.,,
000 against $50 345. 978 last wear while
miscellaneous liabilities were only

Epworth Leaguers O1er Their Devotions
on Lookout Mountain.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 2e.-
Lookout mountain was stormed early
yesterday morning by 1900 Epworth
Leaguers, who took possession without
opposition. At 2:90 tho street cars be-
gan to move the young Methodists
toward the mountain As the ears
ran through the city aud su burbs their
occupants made the air resound with
old-fashioned Methodist camp-meeting
music.
With gladstone song and hearty
shouts the ascent was begun. On they
went until a steady stream was scaling
the side of the historic old mountain.
1t was a grand sight that the eye be-
held as the summit was reached. The
gray of the early dawn had put IN it's
appearance and one could catch
glimpses of the surrounding land
scape. Great clouds of mist hung
over the city and the valley.
The faint outlines of the Tenn essee
river could be traced, as it
gracefully made its turn on the Moe
casin bend. The assembled band of
Wesleyan pilgrims, representing al
most every state in the Union and the
Dominion of Canada, reverentially IN
covered their heads and began their
devotions. Rev. George r. Stewart,
the celebrated evangelist who assists
Sam Jones in his meetings, led the
meeting.
The day was given to the carrying
out of an elaborate prepared program
of routine papers and addresses of in
terest to the 1eaguers. The appear
ance of colored speaker, Rev. John
Bowen of Atlanta, was the occasion of
generous applause from the audience.
The night meeting was the largest
assem- blage ever seen in the South.
The great tent was filed to overflow
inR-people stood in the aisles, and a
great circle of listeners hung around
on all sides of the tent. It is estimated
that Is, 900 people were there.

deceive or take advantage of the slck.
You may sell shoddy garment for pure
wool. and you only affect a mans purse,
but when yeu palm off a spurious medi-
cine on a sick person, you may cause
months of suffering and possibly the
loss Of precious life.
Do Munyon's Remedies cure? If they
do they should be in every house. II
they dc not they should be publicly con-
dsmned and their sale prohibited by law.
Certainly, every opportunity has been
afforded the public to test his remedies.
Thousands of walls have been given
away in all the leading cities ofAmerica
Newspapers have made the most search
ing investie alton and thousands of peo-
pie have testified that they have been
cured
Professor Munyon does not claim that
his remedies will cure in every case, but
is prepared to prove that they do cure
over 80 per cent of all durable cases,
when the remedies are taken according
TO directions.
Perhaps the best evidence that can be
offered is to refer to a few of those who
have tested the remedies aud let them
tell the facts in their own way.
