DID DONALDSON.
Rean Farris Is Given e25 to Buy Corn.
But Returns Not.

Rean Farris Is Given e.5 to buy Corn.
But Returns Not.
ID. n. Donaldson mourns the loss
of $25, and Rean Farris, one OF his
transfers. has made himself hard to
find. Yesterday morning Donaldson
furnished Farris with the amount
and instructed him to 60 out into the
country with two wagons and pro-
cure as much of the golden grain as
obtainable with the wherewith.
Farris took his son as COM
panion, and they started in the
direction of Rapids City. When the
village was reached the boy stopped
at a blacksmith shop to have a shoe
reset for one of his horses. The
father also tied his team and told the
boy he would return after a short
call on a friend. But he never came
back.
The Boys Story.
Such was the substance of the boys
story when he returned last evening
with the two empty wagons. He said
he had searched the town with the
assistance of other citizens, but was
unable to ascertain the whereabouts
of his father.

Jew refers to the religion which THE
Jews profess, says the editor of JEWISH
Tidings Hebrew refers to a language,
which they no longer speak, and han
consequently no meaning at the pres
ent time. Israelite refers to a nation
which they at one time formed, and it
has at present no Specification except
when reference is made to the ancie1t
nation. The Jews are a religious COM
munity, and that is all that separates
them, or rather distinguishes then,
from their fellow citizens. The Jews d,a

who Go not know any better may call
themselves so, but they are wrong.
Those who know what is right call
themselves jews, and that is the only
correct name.

RI is BETTER TO LIVE.

] have sometimes felt that the burden
OF HE was too heavy to bear:
And have longed to lie down at the noontide
And rest and forget oil my care;
But over my heart comes the message,
Repeated again and again:
att is better to live and to suffer,
Than to die to be rid of the pain"
There is rest in the darkness OF dying
And end to the weary despair:
The grave holds sure peace and calm silence;
No sorrow nor pain can be there's
But perhaps in the struggle OF living,
Is q soul that has need OF my care
Some heart may be bearing q burden
That my hand may tighten or share.
vt would be easy to say IT am weary"
Andlie down and give up the strife,
TO suffer no more with the heartache
And sorrow meet in this life;
But perhaps from my sorrow-swept heart
strings
A melody sweet may be wrung.
And my lips when they drank deep of suffering
The tenderest songs may have sung.
Ills so hard to be patient with living
When all the world is awry;
So weariSome waiting for pleasures
That will only come after we die;
But even through all my complaining
can hear that undying refrain:
at is better to live and to suffer
Than to die to be rid OF the pain"
will live and be strong and will suffer.
II need be, until find rest
When life and its trials are over;
although never my life should be blest.
Though always the sun should be darkened
BY the clouds that hang over my way,
will trust that the light will be clearer
When at last awake lin the day."

1t Does Rot Inform One Upon All Mat

It is said to be q true storyof an Eng
lish clergyman that, on his appoint
ment to a country living, he went about
from house to house asking why the
good wives did not go to church OIL
Sunday afternoons. Milking the
cows was the universal answer. On
Sunday morning, therefore, he spoke
his mind. II have been round the
parish" he said, land find you all make
the same excuse. Now have only one
thing to request. and that Is that you
milk your cows the last thing on Sarvr.
day night and the first thing on Mon
day morning.
"Who could harhen to a man in the
pulpit, or out of it, after tllat?" said one
old countryman. ''But then, you see
he's book-larnt man."
Another ''booE-larnt man. was stand
ing by one day when country parson
was looking at his cows.
Poor old lady! poor old lady!" sa;a
the country parson, apostrophizing ora

but why?" exclaimed the other.

always thought cows died a natural
death, and that we only ate oxen!''
Dawkins, the countrvman of tina
previous tale, was on the other side Of
the hedge granting emphatically at in
tervals, and the country parson looked
across at him with twinkle in his eye.
What do you think of that, Daw-
kins?" asked he.
Wherever has he hid hisself all these
days?" asked Dawlsins, in irrepressible
scorn. s'But then" twinkling back at
his master, ''he's a scholard, amt he?

great rubbish heaps which numbered
the grounds. Miss Morstan and I stood
together, and her hand was in mine. A
wondrous subtle thing is love, for here
were we two who had never seen each,
other before that day, between whom
no word or even look of affection had
ever passed, and yet now in an hour of
trouble our hands instinctively sought
for each other. I have marveled at it
since, but at the time it seemed the
most natural thing that / should go
out to her so, and, as she has often told
me, there was in her also the instinct
to turn to me for comfort and protec-
ton. So we stood hand in hand, like

his life; but it is still complete mys-
terry to u.s."
The little man stopped to relight his
hoolSah, and pulled thoughtfully for a
few moments We had all sat absorbed,
listening to his extraordinary nara
tive At the short account of her IA
TIERS death Miss Morstan had turned
deadly white, and for moment /
feared that she was about to faint She
rallied, however, on drinking glass of
water which / quietly poured out for
her from Venetian carafe upon the
side table. Sherlock Holmes leaned
back in his chair with an distracted

over his glittcring epes. AS / glanced
at him could not but think how on
that very day he had complained bit
terly of the commonplaceness of life.
Here, at least, was a problem which
would tax his sagacity to the utmost.
Mr.. Thaddeus Sholto looked from one to
the other of us with an obvious pride
at the effect which his story had pro-
duced, and then continued between
the puffs of his overgrown pipe.
"My brother and l." said he, ''were,
as you may imagine, much excited Us
to the treasure which my father had
spoken of. For weeks and for months
we dug and delved in every part of the
garden, without discovering its where
abouts. 1t was maddening to think
that the hiding place was on his very
lips at the moment that he died. We.
could judge the splendor of the missing
riches by the chaplet which he had
taken out. Over this chaplet my

little discussion. The pearls were evil

averse to part with them, for, between
friends, my brother was himself a lit

thought, too, that if we parted with
the chaplet it might give rise to gossip,
and finally bring us into trouble. 1t

to let me find out Miss Morstan's adj
dress and send her detached pearl at
fixed intervals, so that, at least, she
might never feel destitute
''It was kindly thought" said our

The little man waved his hand dep

he said. ''That was the view which

Mr.. Thaddeus Sholto ceased, and sat
,witching on his luxurious settee. We
LII remained silent, with our thoughts

upon the new development which the
mysterious business had taken. Holmes
was the first to spring to his feet,
'You have done well, sir, from first
to last" said he. ''It is possible that
we may be able to make you some
small return by throwing some light
upon that which is still dark to you.
But, as Miss Morstan remarked just
now, it is late, and we had best put the
matter through without delay"
Our new acquaintance very delib-
erately coiled up the tube of his
hookah, and produced from behind a
curtain very long befrogged top coat
with Astrakhan collars and cuffs. This
he buttoned tightly up, in spite of the
extreme closeness of the night, and
finished his attire by putting on rab
bit-skin cap with hanging lappets
which covered the ears, so that no part
of him was visible save his mobile and
peaky face. ssMy health is somewhat
fragile" he remarked, as he led the
way down the passage. II am COM
PEELED to be valetudinarian."
Our cab was awaiting us outside, and
our programme was evidently prear-
ranged, for the driver started off at
once at a rapid pace. Thaddeus Sholto
talked necessarily, in avoice which rose
high above the rattle of the wheels.
Bartholomew is clever fellow
said he. How do you think he found
out where the treasure was? He had
come to the conclusion that it was
somewhere indoors; SO he worked out
all the cubic space of the house and
made measurements everywhere, so
that not one inch should be unnccount-
cd for. Among other things, he found
that the height of the building was
feet, but on adding To-
gether the heights OF all the separate
rooms, and making every allowance
for the space between, which he as
certained by borings. he could not
bring the total to more than seventy
feet. There were four feet unaccount-
ed for. These could only be at the top
of the building. He Rocked hole,
therefore, in the lath-and plaster cell
