Sadie and May lived in a very
pleasant home in the country. All
day long they would keep house with
their dolls and when night came they
would tuck them under the long red
curtain which hung over one OF the
large windows. One warm day when
it was too hot to play out in the sun
they went and sat on the cool, shady
porch, and begged grandpa, who had
just wakened from an afternoon nap,
TO tell them story.
So grandpa said that if they would
be quiet he would tell them short,
true story about himself.
Sadie and May promised to he very
still.
So gradpa began:
"Once when | was very little boy
| had to take long, lonely walk
through the snow for some tea for nv
mother. The store was four miles
away As had told my mother |
would go. ran and got my things
and called my dog Bruno. for | never
went anywhere without him. | got
to the store safely and bought my tea,
and as | had 50 and some change |
put it in small purse which | had in
my pocket. can remember how
hard it was walking and how bitterly
cold it was. | hurried as fast as
could, because was afraid | would
be late for supper. 1t was qnite dark
when | ran upon the porch and into
the warm kitchen. How good the
mullins smelt that had Just cone out
of the oven' can remember them
yet"
"And did Bruno get home, too y
asked May.
Oh" said grandpa. that is Just
what ! am going to tell you. | knew
he was not far behind, so did not
wait for him, but went in and gave
the tea to mother, then put my hand
in my pocket to give her the change.
To my surprise ] found it was gone"
"Oh, grandpa - exclaimed Sadie
and May.
YES" said grandpa, "it was gone
lost, thought-and it was so dark
and stormy my mother said it was no
use to look for it. | was too much
troubled TO care for my supper, so I
sat down by the fire feeling very sad
Soon | heard scratching at the door
and when | opened it YOU cannot
think how astonished | was to have
Bruno bound in and drop sometb;no
at my feet. Now, what do you tbinI

A BOYS PRACTICAL JOKE.

During Lent party of young girls
of the West End meet once or twice a
week at the home of one of their num-
ber to make "fudges" or give a
fudge" party.
Now ''fudges" are chocolates. and
they are simply the most delicious ed
ibles ever manufactured by set of
sweetmeat loving girls.
The little brother of one of the girls
has wisely disappeared, for the zen
fnnt terrible" in this case is response
BILE for some rebellious sensations in
the region where good chocolates 90.
One night the girls were in Il jolly
mood over the preparation of their fa-
vorte bon bon. One read the recipe,
while another got together all the
utensils necessary to complete the OPP
Grafton, still another melted butter,
and the fourth stirred up sugar and
water to syrup.
Goodness" exclaimed one of the
girls, "it wouldn't he fit to eat with
out the chocolate. Tommy, you run
quick and bring the grated chocolate
from the pantry"
Tommy ran and brought back some
thing which was dumped into the
stewing mass without examination.
AS soon as the "fudge" was finished
and sufficiently cooled, each girl secur-
ed hunk and began chewing her IA
vorite candy.
Directly there were wry faces, and
evidences of uncay minds, all of which
finally led up TO an exciting commo-
ton.
In Il few moments there was a
crowd of very sick girls.
"Tell me- cried one ''am dying?"
"rm poisoned, declared another.
1T certainly was not chocolate"
Call Tommy
Tommy came. Upon investigation
it was discovered that Tommy had
brought smoking tobacco instead of
grated chocolate.
Tommy is still ut large.

FOR YOUNG FOLKS.
BABY's HANDS.

BABY's HANDS.
Dainty. dimpled, little things,
Soft as angels plumy wings,
Naught to do but grow.
Awkwardly you move about,
Up and down and in and out.
Tell lie DO you know
Why such antics you go through?
What you're trying now TO do?
Where you want to go?
Dainty, dimpled little thing,
Clutching as your cradle swings,
At thin nothingness;
Who can tell what you will hold
When your grasp is firm and bold?
MAY be honor-may be gold
May be nothingness.
Dainty, dImpled little things,
Whatsoe'er the future brings
There'll be work for you.
Though you still be soft and white,
You cannot your duties slight
While there's work to do.
There'll be burdens to be lifted,
From the bad good must be sifted,
From the false the true;
And though you're so soft and small,
OF this work a part will fall,
Little hands on you.

81 WILL KISS THE FLAG"
As II Maiden She Would Not DO
il, But as u Widow She
surrendered.

Messrs. Oehm & Co. have just com,
pleted fine silk flag on special or
der to which is attached a pretty ro-
nance.
A few years ago after the close of
the war young man living in a
suburb of Boston, Mass, conveyed his
invalid sister to the Hygea Hotel, at
Old Point Comfort, hoping the genial
climate would aid in the restoration
OF her health. The orphan children
and only heirs of a wealthy leather
magnate with interests in the great
tanneries at Salem and leather houses
in Boston, they had abundant means
to entertain in lavish style. and soon
were the center of select circle ut
the noted resort.
Among the most intimate friends
they won by their hospitality was a
Maryland girl of much grace and
beauty, who was that seasons belle at
Old Point. The young New England
er courted her assiduously. but as she
boasted she was "a little rebel" and
''would never wed Yankee" he post
poned the popping Of the question" !"
However, before parting he frankly
told her that she had stolen his heart
and he would never wed another.
'If you can ever kiss the starry
flag" were his parting words to her,
81 will fly to you from any part OF
the world"
Il never can," was the retort with
laughter.
Years passed away. The young
mans sister kept in correspondence
with the charming Marylander, and
finally came the news that she was
married. He plunged into literature,
the resort for Bostonians; travelled on
the Continent; went around the world
Il restless wanderer; never forgetting
his vow "to marry no other than she"
He haunted Old Point, season after
season, hoping to catch a glimpse of
the eyes that had fascinated him, and
year ago heard that she was Wild
ow. childless and penniless. Through
his invalid sister he conveyed to her,
after lapse of several months, mes.
sage that brought to him few days
ago this reply, while he was in Balti-
more ON his way home:
Il will kiss the starry flag
Immediately he went to Oehm & Co.
and ordered an elaborate flag made
zone worthy TO be kissed by queen
-siiu Hdstcneu tO III Olu uliUSlOu
near Washington, where the young
widow was sojourning.
Hold it till / wire for it." was his
order.
The flag is now on exhibition at
Oehm's Acme Hall. gracefully draped
in one of the Baltimore street windows.
and it is expected that in short time
the romance will culminate in nup-
tial event that will occur under its
folds, as the following dispatch is past
ell on the glass in front of the flag:
Washington. ID. c., March rs, 1895.
''ochm & Co.. Baltimore, Nd:
Send flag April Is.
T.. C. HARRINGTON.
The flag is of the heaviest silk, one
of its characteristics being that the
stars and stripes are woven into it, in.
stead OF being sewn in, the usual way.

Another letter from the Olympia at
Honolulu, dated October DIST, reads a.
follows:
mo money since leaving San Fran
cisco. On account of cholera no fresh
provisions from shore allowed on
board, and as we could not get enough
20 eat all hands refused duty and re
fused to coal ship. Everything was
settled by noon. Have nov got all
We can eat and are now taking on sea
stores. Three men were placed in the
brig for general court martial. The
crew would not coal snip before the
three men were released and restored
to duty. The petty officers were call
I'd and after consultation with the
crew were sent forward TO ask for
release of the three men. The request
was granted and everybody turned to
and cOaIed ship
"The trouble with the Olympia's
men," said Al White, lis too many of
them are landsmen. Captain Reid
and Lieutenant Sturdy, the eXecu-
tive officers, could not afford TO permit
the men ashore while the cholera was
raging in Honolulu, aud the major
ity of the men think that they have
been badly treated because strict dis
cipline was enforced The stories of
mutiny on board are rather thin.
There might have been case or two

Wanted the Penny and the Cake.

Wanted the Penny and the Cake.
See Chong, a Chinese restaurant
keeper, chasing three sailors of the
Marie Hackfeld down Fort street
at little after II o'clock last night
was a sight which a number of peo-
pie witnessed. The arrival of several
police Just as the runners reached
King street stopped further pro-
gress on the part OF the sailors.
The Chinaman caught up in the
meanwhile and pointed out big
German whom he said had taken
supper with two shipmates at his
restaurant on Hotel street. Upon
finishing the two got up and left
the place without paying. He
called to them but no answer was
made. The German was grabbed
by several policemen and pushed
in the direction of the police sta
ton but he made fight, asking in
loud tones what was meant by such
treatment. But he arrived at the
police station nevertheless and
gave his name as Luken. Two of
his friends followed him to the sta
ton and one of these paid the
Chinaman seventy-five cents for
three suppers. Upon reaching the
outside, Luken made a dart after
the Chinaman but was advised by
Captain Hookano to return to his
vessel. The threat that he would /.
be locked up if he created any fur
ther disturbance led him to go off
quietly with his friends.

Too Many Landsmen-The Mail All
Destroyed.
A private letter has been received
from the Olympia, written by one of
the crew, says the San Francisco Elk
amineI. The letter is dated October
18th and says the vessel was then lying
at Lahaina. Eight days were con
sumed on the trip to the islands, says
the writer, and 700 tons of coal were
used. Twenty deckhands were re-
quired To act as coal passers, and the
temperature in the boiler room was
never less than 12O degrees.
From Honolulu the warship was
sent TO Lahaiua. When letters and
other mail reached the vessel, a although
they had been fumigated at Honolulu,
the ships surgeon would not allow
them To- be delivered until he had
again fumigated them. The mail was
put into a baking pan and showed into
the oven.
"When they were taken out" says
the writer, mot q sign was there of
letters or papers or germs. The Doc
tor had burned the whole business.
All the money which was brought on
board was boiled by order of the Doc
tor, and we were not allowed to catch
any fish at Lahaina for fear that they
might once have been in Honolulu
waters. We were not allowed TO use
any salt water while the Bennington
was near us, although she lay two and
a half miles to- leeward. We had to
90 in our bare feet, too, for fear that
we would get the germs in our socks.
We are putting in 1900 tons of coal,
as Captain Reid does not know what
quantity we may need before reach
ing the Japanese coast

Beware of counterfeiters

Who infest the market and are the
means of robbing sick people of their
money, and what is of still greater con-
sequence of not unfrequentIy aggra-
waiting the complaints under which
they labor It is an act of duty we
owe to society to warn the people
against these dangerous frauds. A lit
tie care on the pant of the purchaser
will protect them from imposition by
bearing in mind these facts: Never
buy where it is offered in bulk Gn kegs
or jugs, as the genuine Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are sold only in bot
ties having the handsome steel-plate
label displaying the combat between
st. George and the Dragon, and hay
ing at the bottom a miniature note of
hand for one cent, bearing a. fac sim
lie of the signature Of the president of
the company. Over the cork is a
metallic cap. on which is impressed
the name of the article, together with
a medallion head in the center. ANY
person selling the counterfeit Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters we shall not hes
itate to bring TO justice, as we never
fail to convict.
