A Commos.senss Appeal.

4 dinner was arranged in a southern
city i'm honor Of q visitor from north
crn state, and the host, when the ci-
gars were lighted, began TO rally his
guest by repeating some OF the usual
sectional jokes, says the Youths Com
Oaaion.
1--WE now have northern Yankee at
our mercy he remarked, loosely,
"and hope that he will not be intimi-
dated by the presence of 50 many
southerners. We can assure him that
revolvsrs and bowie-knives have been
left in the anteroom, and that he is
safe, at least until we get cur hats and
arms"
Everybody laughed and expected
that the visitor would respond TO this
badinage by making full use of his
privilege Of ridiculing southern pecu-
liarities. He surprised the company
by speaking in another vein.
sour host" he began, travelled with
me i'm Europe, and | observed that
wherever we went he registered him
self as an American, and never as a
southerncr. | thought it was good
example TO follow, and invariably put
myself down, not a n northerner, but
simply and proudly as an American.
What seems to me singular is the fact
that two men, who were content TO
travel all over Europe rs Americans,
should fancy that they are anything
in their own country. | do not know
why | should be anything at home
that | am not when have crossed the
sea and gone among foreigners"
BY this time the company perceived
that they were TO have something bet
ter than old-time Yankee talk and sec
tional quips. They encouraged the
visitor to continue by applauding him
heartily.
He ended by making a common
sense appeal for a more general use of
the good old word american"
"L.et us now be proud of our COM
mon country" he said, "when we are
abroad among strangers, and ashamed
of it when We are at home. ! am from
the north and you are in the south, but
there is no source of patriotic pride
which is open TO you that is not mine
as well by virtue of my birthright "A
an American. Nor can glory in any
thing that is not yours also"
The company rose when the visitor
sat down and joined in singing "Hail
Columbia and Hes Il jolly good fell
low" They voted it one of the best
after dinner speeches which they had
ever heard, and congratulated him
heartily upon his success in substitut-
ing wholesome and stimulating patri-
otism in place of the light diet of acrid
sectional jokes.

In the Spring

Nearly everybody needs good medi-
cine. The Impurities which have ac-
cumulated in the blood during the cold
months must be expelled, or when the
mild days come, and the effect of
bracing air is lost, the body is liable to
be overcome by debility or some seri-
Gus disease. The remarkable success
achieved by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
the many words of praise it has receiv-
ed. make it worthy your confidence.
We ask you TO give this medicine tri-
al. We are sure it will do You good.
Read the testimonials published in be-
half of Hoods Sarsaparilla, all from
reliable, grateful people. They tell the
story.

Young.
"Hit him with another bag; there
the tempest is coming, and we must

shouted Small.
The wind increased, the air grew
dark and misty, and soon the hidden
city was indeed hidden from them by
the dense, black stornclouds below
them.
The upper current of air, although
not a gale, was sufficiently strong TO
carry them fast.
"BUt we're not going toward home"
questioned Bolton.
"Bless your stars that you are safe
anywhere" )" nodded Harding.
The clouds swept by, but the myster-
ious city was no longer in sight.
'Thosc folks will be more super
stious than ever because we vanished
with the tempest" laughed Young.
'But what shall we do with our
prize now we have got her? that's the
question" asked Harding.
"You ought TO have asked that be-
fore you took her from her people" "
said Bolton, gravely.
.'If you can leave me near Fort
Nelson" began the girl, laughing at
their establishment.
"What are you not an Aztec?" cried
Young.

fort. While enjoying a ride on my

"And you are not at home yet" ad-
ded Small, significantly.
The wind continued toblow fitfally,
sometimes from one direction, some
times from another, but always keep
ing the balloon above the uninhabited
country.
Darkness came, and toward morning
the moon shone out in tropical beauty,
giving weird, ghastly effect TO earth
and sky.
Before sunrise the wind increased
and set in steadily toward the land of
stars and strips.
''There goes the last bag of ballast,
and still We are descending" said
Young. "But we are out OF the woods,

He was IA true prophet, for the bal

ten mile," returned the farmer, whose
whole family ran out to see what
monster had dropped from the clouds.
Horses were soon hired, and Hard
ing set out TO escort the maiden
thither.
1t is needless TO tell the rejoicing
when they arrived at the fort.
(Which of you married the young
lady??" | asked of Harding, when he
told me the story five years after.
"Hum Well, none OF Us. She nit

When Chicago Was Youog.


Sheldon Graves, who came to Chica-

an Indian village, died last evening at
his home, 1919 Ellis avenue. Mr..
Graves drove into Chicago in the
spring of 1886 on load of apples and
smoked hams. He had come all the
way from Jordon, Onondago county,

something of sensation. He found
quarters for himself and horses at the
