 Where from cares would ever be
 free. Through beautiful country Ere long was hurled, Over rivulet, meadow and hill And by trees that grow green By the clear rushing streams; Which were fed by the bright trick

 the trees Til 1t seemed that here everything
 grew. Here and there were saw mills Scattered oyer the hills. And men all as busy as bees Working early and late fer them
 selves homes to make; That they later might live at their

Odd Result of a Snake Bite.

1t is general popular dictum in
sections where snakes abound that
those who have been bitten will be
troubled by recurrence of the trou-
BILE caused by the bite every year for
an indefinite period. This seems to
hold good in the case of the Rev. N.
i. Jones, pastor of the Port Fulton
M. L. Church, who has just returned
from Greenwood Sanitarium, where
he was treated for snake poisoning.
Mr.. Jones was bitten by red headed
adder year ago while at Rising Sun,
and he had to walk nearly half hour
before he gained medical assistance.
He was unconscious for several hours,
and it was thought he might not re-
cover, but finally he did get well. This
year, nearly at the corresponding date
at which he was bitten. all the symp.
toms reappeared in milder form, his
ankle swelled and his skin dIscolored
in spots. He suffered at the same time
much pain. He fears that he will have
recurrence of the trouble every year,
especially since it is well known that
the father of the Rev. w. III. Sheets,
of this city, suffered in similar man
ner for eleven years from the effects of
q snake bite.-Indianapolis News.

Clearly q Stand-OR.

Some years ago two officers In the
British army in India had a difficulty
which resulted in duel. The colonel,
the challenged party, was an old cam.
paigner who had won his laurels in the
Crimea, and was a gallant soldier. The
choice of weapons being his, he named
pistols, and elected that the affair
should occur in dark room. We Sc

provided with three charges, and when
these were exhausted we rushed in to
gather up the mutilated remains. Each
man stood erect and soldier-like in his
corner, untouched; but directly behind
the officer who had given the challenge
were three bullet-holes made by the
coloners pistol. "How Is this?" said
the grizzled major; chad you been

fired, you would have been killed" The
culprit was forced to admit that he had

one who, while living, was reckoned no
better or greater than his neighbors,
yet now that time is still adding luster
to the fame of his great son, the name
of Thomas Lincoln and all that per-
tains to his life, his death and place
of burial is coming into historic prom
inence. The graveyard is a pleasant
drive from Mattoon, Charleston OF
Greenup, and many visit it during the
summer months, but as the grave is
overgrown with weeds and no flowers
are near, it would seem that the visit
ors are attracted more through curl
oslty than to do honor to the dead.
The grave of Thomas Lincoln was
left unmarked from the time of his
death in 1881 until 1880. After Abra-
ham Lincoln was elected President lie

to have estimates sent him of the cost
of a tombstone, but the war coming on

with his parents in 1t, having started
in life for himself just at this time, but
it was on this memorable ground that
his father and stepmother spent their
last days. John Hall, q landmark In
the county's history and a good type Of
the now almost extinct Illinois pioneer,
owns this farm and makes his home
here. His mother was step-sister Of
Abraham Lincoln, and they rode In the
wagon that brought the Lincoln family
from Spencer County, Ind, to Illinois,
in 1880, when he was but year old,
the future President driving the OK
team that hauled them. After the
death of Thomas Lincoln, Mr.. Hall
bought the place Of John d. Johnston,
Lincoln's step-brother, and has held it
since, Grandmother Lincoln making
her home with him until her death.
In 1891 John Hall sold the old log
house to the Abraham Lincoln Log
Cabin Association to be removed to the
Worlds Fair He also transferred to
them, hoping they would be better pre-.
served in their keeping, all the relics
he had in his possession.

A reporter called, on Wednesday
evening, May 8, 1895, at the resi-
dence OF Mr.. William Mcmahon, No.
1858 Pearl street, Brooklyn village
(oleveland), o., to learn, II possible,
the cause OF the noticeable i'm
provement In his physical condition
over that of year ago, when he
was sufferer from indigestion and
various organic disorders. "You
gee" began Mr.. Mcmahon, ito start
with, my work-that Of settingtype
ut the case--allows me little chance
for bodily exercise, and is alto
gether too combining for anybody who
is In the least subject to indiges-
tion or dyspepsia. Perhaps not moro
sothan many another mechanic or
artisan who is constantly indoors and
under severe mental strain, while
the physical development is sadly In
need Of something to keep II In
trim. Well, that has been my COM
plant for years, and some months
ago Became very bilious, and con-
stipation made lite miserable for
me at times. Then 1t took seat in
my LIVER, which became noticeabIy
inactive, and I became alarmed
about it. The first thing turned
my attention to was to secure q
1iver regulator, which, however,
failed to regulate; next 1 sought
relief In liver pills, which so panied
and griped me that the cure was, l
thought, worse than the disease.
The next thing did was to throw
away tho whole shooting match
and resolve to tako no more propri-
etory medicines. However, on
hearing my tale of woe, one day, at
the office, fellow-workman offered
me small Tabule-Ripans, he
called it-which, he said, he would
guarantee to act on the liver. 1
took II under protest, expecting to
be doubled up in about fifteen min
utes with the 'gripes.' But was
agreeably surprised in its action. It
wns very gentle, and resolved to
try box. Since then have gradu-
ally noted an entire change in the
working of my system, and think
that Ripans Tabules are the best
remedy for liver and stomach
troubles this side OF anywhere.
They are really substitute for
physical exercise. Have one before
you go?' And Mr.. McMahon pro-
duced his box of ''stand-bys" from
his inside pocket rs the reporter

AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE
Wirth's Tent Crowded Twice on
Saturday.


Saturday.
The management Of this popular
combination kept faith with the
public and the spirit of their prom
Uses, that exceptionally good pro-
grams would be presented at after
noon and evening performances
and that children would be admit
ted to the afternoon performance,
to all parts of the tent, for 10 cents.
Long before the time announced OF
opening the doors dense crowd
gathered around, each individual
intent upon getting an early pick
at the choice seats, as the manage
ment had decided that first come
first served would be the rule, and
by the time for opening the crowd
reached far on both sides of the
entrance. Even from the outside
it was a treat to see the happy
faces of the little ones, but that was
nothing compared to witnessing
the expressions of delight and en-
ioyment that beamed on every
child's countenance during the
whole performance.
In the evening the mammoth
tent was simply a living mass of
humanity, and the programs pre-
scented at each performance were
simply all that could be desired,
and the vast audiences departed
wondering when they would cease
witnessing new features by this
talented company.
Arrangements having been COM
pleted with the Inter-Island S. S.
Company so that they can convey
the circus to Kauai and return in
time to catch the steamer for the
Orient, the circus will, after all,
visit the Garden Island, leaving
Honolulu on Thursday next and
opening at Lihue Friday, conse-
quently the last performances to be
given here will be tonight and
Wednesday night, on which occasi-
ons specially selected programs Will
be given. Tonight's entertainment
will terminate, by request, with the

which was so admired when pro-
duced during the company's last
visit, and which introduces the
whole of the aggregation and the
excellently trained animal Nellie

Giffin Narrowly Escapes Shot.
The new butts at Kakaako were
opened by Company H yesterday
morning. Thirty-three members
were present and an average score
of 81 was made.
While Hazzlebrink was making
his score Tom McGiffin, the
marker, stepped from behind the
steel shield and stood in front of
the target. Fortunately the man
made a miss or McGiffin would
have been struck. The occurrence
took away all desire of the mem
bers of Company H to continue
shooting.
The targets are for 2Oo-yard
range and are in excellent posi-
ton. The bulkhead is seven feet
square and is protected by quar-
ter-inch steel plate. The targets
slide so that there is no necessity
for the marker to come from behind
the shield.
McGifin was not familiar with
the business, but Captain Murray
instructed him what to do in mark
ing up. 1t is understood he has
given up his position.
