he left his desk at the fifth bour :, ~.

he left his desk at the fifth hour in tbs
afternoon. and he went to bed at the
third hour after sunset, and he arose
not until the sun was high in tbs
heavens.
So the next day, when his Uncle Ren
would take him out into the field and
show him how to make a post-and-rai]
fence. Mustapha swore at him. and
smote him with an ak, and fled. and
gat himself home.
And Mustapha sent for his physician
and cursed him. And he said he was
tired to death; he turned his face to the
wall. and died. So Mustapha was gath
cred to his fathers.
And his physician and his friends
mourned and said:
ALAS. he did not rest soon enough
He tarried at his desk too long"
But his Uncle Ben, who came in to
attend the funeral, and had to do all
his weeping out Of one eye, because the
other was blackened halfway down to
the chin, said it was a pity. but Musta-
pha was too awfully lazy to live, and
he had not enough get-up about him.
But Mustapha visit not what thew
said, because he was dead. So they
divided his property among them, and
said II he wanted a tombstone he might
have attended to it himself, while he
was yet alive, because they had no
time.-Argonaut.

A VISITOR.

Pain is a constant visitor OF
persons troubled with chronic rheu-
matism. This unwelcome guest will,
however, take its departure and not re-
new his visits if a writ of ejectment is
served upon it through the agency of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the most
efficient blood depurent and anodyne
to rheumatic twinges known to medi-
cal science. No testimony in its behalf
Is more positive and conclusive than
that which proves it eficacious for
malarial, nervous, bilious, dyspeptic
and kidney disorders. 1t promotes ap-
petite and sleep, and is particularly
useful to invalids recovering from ex-
hausting maladies. Persons past the
prime of life. and those suffering from
a lack Of vital stamina, find it highly
beneficial. Give it a persistent trial.
No medicine used systematically, and
at irregular times. can be expected to
achieve lasting results.

Tho View From the summit Of the Noun
tain of enc Ark.
At last we stood upon the summit OF
Ararnt. but tho sun no longer pierced
the white vapor; II fierce gale drove
ACROSS the forbidden region and whipped
the eye, straining to distinguish the
limits Of snow and cloud. Vague forms
hurried past Oh the winds of the whirl.
wind; in place of the landscape Of the
land Of promise we searched dense banks
Of fog.
We were standing on the spot where
the ark of gopher rested, where first the
patriarch alighted Oh the face Of an
earth renewed. Before him lay the val
leys Of 800 years of sorrow. The ARREST
pinnacle supported him; q boundless
hope filled his eyes. The pulse of life
beat strong and fresh around him; the
busy swarms thrilled with sweet Free
dom. elect Of all living things. In the
settling exhalations stood the bow Of
many colors. eternal token Of Gods
covenant with man.
Although the summit Of Great Ararat,
which has an elevation Of 1876 feet,
yields il height to the peaks of the eau
casus in the north and to Demavend
(l9. 400 feet) in the east, nearly 500
miles away. yet, us Bryce in his admira-
BILE book has observed, there can 10 but
few other places in the world where a
mountain so lofty rises from a plain so
low. The summit of Greet Ararat has
the form of Il dome and is covered with
perpetual snow; this dome rowns an
oval figure, the length IT which is from
northwest to %southeas.. aud it is there
fore the long side of this dome which
you see from the valley of the Araxes.
On tho southeast. as you follow tho out
line farther, the slope falls ut q o
rapid gradient Of from 80 to SO degrees
and ends in the saddle between the two
mountains at u height Of nearly 5000
fest.
From that point it is the shape Of the
Little Ararat. which continues the out
line toward the east. 1t rises in the
ahape Of graceful pyramid to the height
Of ~. $40 feet, and its summit ia. distant
from that Of Great Ararat a space Of
nearly seven miles. The southeastern
slope Of the lesser Ararat corresponds to
the northwestern slope of the greater
mountain and descends to the floor Of
the river valley In q long and regular
train. The unity Of the whole fabric.

know that it cures a cough. Everyone

being pleasant to take and quick in
curing. Chas. N. Settele.

It's just as easy to try One Minute
