The gleam-to follow which the British bard,
BY lips of his own Merlin strove to urge
Bold youth to spur him on until the verge
OF life were reachd, and with 1t life's reward.
o, gleami to thee kind and gentle friend
And guide adown philosophy pathway,
When parting from us pointed. We heard him say.
"Follow the CLEAN, follow the gieam." The end
or days In these fair halls for him and Us is come
Alike. The path Of truth snd loving life
He show'd by word and deed Our strife
His words of inspiration oft shall cheer
Philosophy and poetry often
To Join their hands. And he a neghbor
10 Albion's sweet singer held so dear
That thoughtful music, and said, Pursue the gleam."

And vet our castle We would buildj
We wish'd not to withdraw from all the strife
OF life,
Alike OF all the joys and woes
Which follow nian where'er he goes
We hop'd indeed TO quit us well,
To bear part.
TO love the world Tor God:
Not that men our actions might applaud,
But e'en to sacrifice and SO TO live
Knowing tnat more blessed tits to give
Than to receive-that life might tell
OF gain less sought than heart
And yet we've built our castle for the heart
And mind;
And think 1t such enduring kind
That naught can make
The structure shake,
And walls from their foundation part.
And so erect we all our theories grand
or life, the world, OF man
Or art q mighty plan
From which to work.
We never dream
That things ar often what they do not seem:
And shall the structures standY
Do we know all? Can we with perfect mind
Foresce how ov'ry balmy wind
Shall blow,
Aud may perhaps bear with it some small seed.
To fal and grow
Where least we watch, and do not heed
The signs of our castles overthrow.
Perhaps we seek the future to discern,
And how to build us strong;
For We must build, aye, build we must.
q vanity, how long
Shall we thus grovel IN the dust,
Thy short-enduring batteries to earn,
sh Min s Me b spsn st to make place
Well meet to build uponY
Let others rear the edihce,
When all our work is done.
SO his memory shall
BE guarded well
BY mans best wardermen his frienas;
Protected better than by castle wall

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, :
community of simple, honest, God-fear
ing men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many
years, and it is always the same, simple
honest, curative medicine that has help
ed to make the shakers the healthy
long-lived people that they are. The
Shakers never have Indigestion. This
is partly owing to their simple mode Of
life, partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges-
ton is caused by the stomach glands
not supplying enough digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial invigorates
the stomach and all Its glands SO that
after awhile they don't need help. AS
an evidence of the honesty of Shaker
Digestive Cordial, the formula is print
ed on every bottle. Sold by druggists,
price 10 cents TO $1.OO per bottle.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen

prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. n medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the
system from the malarial poison. Head

That "cIeanliness is next to Godli-
ness is proved in the case OF the Dutch.
The latest published statistics show
that Holland is the most moral nation
IN the world in proportion to its popu-
Iation and it Is an admitted fact that
the Dutch are the cleanest people In
the world. Cleanliness of person leads
one to be particular about other thing.
which leads to clean thoughts and to
high plane of thinking generally. ALI
this in turn encourages proper action
of lite in every respect. The clean per
son outwardly is more apt to be clean
in his inner lie than the one who is
unclean in his habits and disregards
cleanliness generally.

Some one in estimating the speeches
of Mr.. Bryan has said that during the
political campaign which has just clos
ed he made more speeches and spoke to
more people in the aggregate than all
the other Presidential candidates who
preceded him from Washington down.
And William Jennings Bryan is the
best known man on the American con-
tinent to-day. Perhaps Grover Cleve-
lands name has been spoken and writ
ten more times during the past ten
years than that of any other man in
the country but Mr.. Bryan is better
known, for he has seen and touched
more people and more people haye
seen and touched him.

One main feature of county fair is
the social pleasure. State fairs are
expected to have a much larger exhib-
1t than county fairs, and other things
are expected to be on a corresponding
iy larger scale; but the social gather
ing at State fair Is different from the
same feature OF county fair. The
family lunch at the county fair is a
most pleasing feature. Intimate

The atrocities of the Spaniards in
the war with Cuba are awful to con-
template. Charles Locht of Denver,
Col, Joined the Cuban army last spring,
was captured by the Spaniards, and
has Returned to his home. He told a
tale OF woe, partly as follows:
"The atrocities practiced by the
Spaniards, who are exasperated beyond
endurance by the Cubans, would hard
ly be credited. I have seen defence
less women and girls outraged, and l
saw an American citizen, Dan Erb, for
merly fireman on the Denver & Rio
Grande railway at Leadville, shot down
in cold blood by Spanish officer.
Erb was taken prisoner at the same
time as myself. We were held as pris-
oners on the side of the railway track,
awaiting the train to take us to Ha-
vana. A Spanish officer entered into
conversation with Erb, who exclaimed
defantly that he was an American citl-
zen, and expected to be treated like a
man. The officer drew a six-shooter
and killed Erb on the spot.
"While confined in the castle wit
messed many startling scenes. Every
morning the prisoners are obliged to
90 to the seashore to bathe. They are
sent out in gangs of twenty men, under
heavy guard. / noticed that some
never returned. The missing ones
we're eaten by sharks. Hundreds and
perhaps thousands of prisoners have
been disposed of through the agency OF
the sharks.
"The doors of the Enclosure surround
ing the castle are left open, as if to in
yite escape, but no man who has made
the attempt has ever been heard OF
again. Those who attempt to leave
are shot down like rats.
"In the castle / was fed on tortillas

been doctored, for it tasted unlike any

brought on dysentery- In room eight

hacked. At night we were obliged to
sleep in tiers, the upper tier reaching
to the ceiling. OF course there was no
ventilation, and everybody in the room

GIRLS IN BOXING GLOVES.

Ten Rounds and a Knockout in New
 York Gymnasium.
 Nearly every week day afternoon the favored visitor to a certain aristocratic gymnasium on Fifth avenue, New York, may see clever boxing bouts between the spirituelle young sports in knicker- lockers who are members of the organ ization.
 Not many days ago, says the New York World, ten-round ''go" between two of the most expert girls resulted in a clean knockout.
 A member of the gymnasium, who found the secret too much to keep, gives details of the bout, but refused to say more than that the contestants were named Maud and Ethel respect ively.
 For the first four rounds neither fair boxer gained much advantage, all though there were several rattling ex- changes.
 In the fifth Maud secured first knock down, and there followed three rounds devoted to uneventful rallies.
 The ninth round was distinguished by some clever work in the way of feints, ducks and counters, both contestants being pretty well winded at the quaver- ing call of time from member who was so excited that she had almost lost her voice. t
 When the flushed and panting, but plucky, girls faced each other for the last round the first effort made was a splendid straight-arm punch which sent Ethel reeling for a moment. A new member of tender years quietly tainted in a corner just as Ethel re- covered herself quickly in time to duck another beauty aimed for the chin.
 Before Maud could get herself back into position Ethel landed twice and her adversary at once became exceed ingly groggy.
 Ethel, though pufing like grampus herself, was quick to see her opportuni- 'ty, and with a smart uppercut sent poor Maud to the floor in a bunch, fairly knocked out
 The vanquished maid was carried to dressing-room, where she soon recov- cred. Then all the girls, after having a good cry together, went home, satisfied that they had a lovely time and eager for the next bout.

It is curious thing, the power which
some human beings have over animals.
There is in Lowell boy, differing in no
respect from his companions, who has
this power in a marked degree. Every
stray dog OF cat in the neighboritood
knows him and loves to be in his COM
pany. A vicious horse which the sta
blemen can with difficulty handle will
stand like lamb while he harnesses
him. The doves fly around him, and in
the woods the wild birds apparently re-
gard hih as friend and ally. The most
remarkable exhibition of his power,
which has long been known and com
mented on by his friends, was given the
other day. A large and vicious rat was
captured in the stable in one of these
traps which permit of easy ingress and
no egress. The men who were looking
a. the animal were afraid to go near he
| trap, the animal showed such terror,
but the boy, when he beheld the inn
prisoned creature, fearlessly put out
his finger and stroked its head, the rat
manifesting as much pleasure as w"n.d
cat or dog. Several days have passed
since then, and the stablemen are still
afraid of their capture, but he has
grown so tame and familiar with the
boy as to allow him to take him out and
put him back in the trap. will come Mt
his whistle, and manifests every sp-
pearancc of JOY at his presence. There
seems to be no question that the boy
could train that rat to perform almost
any feat within the power OF such an
animal.---Lowell (Mass.) Star.
