The examination OF Secretary Morton by
the joint committee of the Senate and
House appointed to ascertain why he had
failed to purchase seeds for distribution by
Members of Congress- was not entirely sat
lsfactory from the committees standpoint.
The Secretary stated that he was forbidden
by an act passed by the last Congress to
go on the open market and purchase seeds,
and that while he had advertised for bids,
none were made that complied with the
law. He also sarcastically referred to his
purchase of full quotas of seeds and books
in secondhand book stores, that had been
issued 10 Members of Congress, at about
one-fourth the price they originally cost
the government, and in reply to susges-
tlon of one of the committee that such an
evi. was probably the work of clerks, he
said: "oh, yes, the Members of Congress
were simply held up and robbed"
As q matter of fact, no gift of the gov
ernment has been worse abused than the
distribution of seeds aud books by Men,

HANDCART EXPERIENCE

Her parents ut once made ar
engagements for marriage and our
Captain performed the ceremony,
which made the twain one fe0h.
While this was going OH and our
company stopping on the bank of
the stream, l noticed two strangers
walking around from one cart to
another and at length they came to
my cart and stopped and to my
surprise one Of them called me by
name. They We're two men who
had lived in the same place that /
had left only few months before.
They left one year before [ did, to
go to California, but had found
profitable employment at that place
and stopped. About the first
thing they said was that they
understood we were out of provisi.
ons. l told them we were. One
of them said 1--WE are keeping a
station there, in that house." at
the same time pointing to a house
a short distance away, and said,
"you come with US" and, turning
to my wife said eve will send you
something to eat" l very gladly
accepted the invitation, and on
entering the house he asked the
cook If he had anything cooked
and was told he had. Then they
told him to give me what no had
cooked and then to bake and cook
some more bread and meat AS
quickly as possible. He told me
to take what was already cooked
over to my wife and children, and
not stop to eat any Of it but to
come right back and they would
soon have some more ready for
me. | obeyed with thankfulness
to them as also to my heavenly
father for thus providing for my
family in this our great time Of
need. | returned and in short
time was sitting at the table on
which was a loaf of bread about
two inches thick and IA or Is
inches acroas, baked in round
campers bake oven and a good
sized frying pan full of fresh fried
Buffalo meat. 1 having a keen
appetite, in my inmost soul thank
ed my Heavenly Father for this
blessing, and | asked him to bless
it to my good, and started to eat

The New York Tribune, speaking of
Rev. Robert Collyer, says: His hair is
snowy white, as it has been for many
years; but the story that it would tell is
belied by the finely chiselled, rugged face
below it, by the eyes that flash humor and
pathos, and by the splendid frame that is
carried with all its old-time vigor and
alertness. Still less credible would any
plea of old age be to any one who hears one
OF DR.. Collyer's sermons, or is privileged
to listen to his quantity humorous and al
ways delightful talk, punctuated as it
nearly always is by smile.

Jupiter" he added, as he recol-
lected the flavor of the giblet pie, Il
haven't eaten such a dinner in ten
years."
But my mother" hesitated Flea
nor, "and my sister Lucetta."
''Let them come, too," said Mr..
Brown. BLESS your heart, my dear,
there's plenty of room in the house.
Can they cook, too?"
mo, Cousin Brown confessed
Nelly.
"Well, perhaps it's just as WE'LL"
said Mr.. Brown. "There can't be
more than one head to a household.
| hope you have preserved the recipe
of that giblet pie, my dear. 1t was
really extraordinary"
So the Torrance family found
comfortable refuge for the soles of
their feet, and Nelly's despised ac-
complishment proved the sword
wherewith she opened the worlds
oyster. L cetta sighed and wonder
ed why she, too, had not taken cook
ing lessons.
Nelly is the old mans favorite,"
said she. HELL leave her his money
when he dies. And all because she
accepted his ridiculous offer of turn
ing cook for living!"
Mr.. Brown, however, looked at the
matter in different light.
Nelly is a trump" he said. NELLY
is not like the typical young lady,
too lazy to work and two proud to
beg. She does with her might what
ever her hands find to do Selected.

The Secret of Wealth is to Buy Right.

The secret of wealth is to Buy Right.
The cost to the consumer of almost every
article needed for the comfort and well
being of every individual, is very largely
increased by having to pass through so
many hands before it finally reaches the
user The nearer the maker and consumer
can be brought together in the purchases
of the necessities of life, the more money
saved to the user. This is the Larlxin
idea, to sell direct from the manufacturer
to the one using the goods, thereby effect
ing saving sufficient to pay the cost of
the valuable premiums offered, free, which
are made under large contracts. This
Company adopted this method some years
ago, it has proved so satisfactory that
many thousand families buy none other
than "Sweet Home' Soap, which is made
of the best and purest materials to be had,
in very large quantities, reaching into
millions of pounds per year. Tie products
of this factory cannot be excelled. Their
great Combination Box has never been
equalled, and anyone of the premiums
offered, viz the Desk, Heater, Chair or
Table is well worth the SO.
We have heard many expressions of
satisfaction from those who have dealt
with the Larkin Soap Mfg. Co., and we
know everyone who orders the goods
will be fully satisfied, though the offers
seem wonderful.

Lucy sat up in bed again and
screamed aloud. "But the king, her
father, gave orders that all the bears
in the world should be killed at

her voice. $50 the people went and
killed them and the Princess E tella

once when she was embroidering all

beheld agreat black bear, who opened
his mouth and came toward her.
As she said this, Lucy not only sat
up in bed, but jumped out and began
running about the room, crying bit
terly. Just then mamma came in.
"What is the matter?" she asked.
"Amy is going to let the bear eat
up the princess" screamed Lucy.

Her gown of gossamer.

AMY'S STORY.

Being very small, Lucy was afraid
to be left alone away up in the bed
room. So mamma told her a story
after she was in her crib; and she
generally went TO sleep just at at the
finish, holding her eyes open for the
last word.
One night, precisely as mamma had
seated herself in the rocking chair, a
lady called upon her; and she had to
go downstairs.
"Sister Amy will stay with you,"
she said; land you must try to go to
sleep without your story"
Lucy was very sorry, and the tears
stole softly down her cheeks. Amy,
who was seven years old, and consid-
cred herself quite grown up in com
parison with Lucy, saw her crying,
and bent over her.
"What is the matter!" she asked.
81 want my story" sobbed Lucy.
''I'll tell you one," said Amy.
I'll don't believe you know
how" sobbed Lucy.
"Well," said Amy, 81 could try,
ANYHOW"
YES" said Lucy, ''you may try"
After receiving this condescending
permission, Amy seated herself in a
chair and began:
'sOnce there was a princess
"What was her name?" asked Lucy.
Violet. She had curly, golden
hair, and a diamond crown; and she
was very pretty"
"Princesses are bufiful," said Lucy.
ats the same thing" said Amy.
mo; l want a bufiful princess
said Lucy.
"She sUos beautiful then,' said
Amy.
1T must be another princess" said
Lucy; "the pretty one couldn't be
bufiful."
"Well, let it be another princess;
but l won't change her again. 1t was
another princess"
what was her name?" asked Lucy
"Oh. 'Sarah.'" said ANY. after
thinking bit.
"No," said Lucy, very decidedly,
81 won't have 'Sawah.' Processes
don't be named 'Sawah;' they
wouldn't"
"They couldn't help it if their
mothers named them 'Sarah,'" sighed
Amy. "Well, jane then"
"They would never name prin-
cesses Jane! ," almost screamed
Lucy, sitting up in bed.
lob, dear, dearp sighed Amy.
"You don't let me think; 'Estella'-
there! This is story of the Prin-
cess Estella. She was very beautiful,
and had curling golden hair and a
diamond crown"
GAIL right" said Lucy, lying down
again.
"And there was good fairy" said
Amy, taking long breath. $50 she
came to the christening, and gave the
baby a golden whistle, with COLDER
chain to wear about her neck always;
and, when she wanted help, she could
blow it, and all the good fairies would
come"
Amy" said Lucy, "that is vewy
nice stowy. l like it,"
I'm glad you do" said Amy, "be-
cause l made it all up my own self"
Go on" said Lucy.
"And there was a bad fairy" said
Amy.
"What was her namei" asked Lucy.
FAIRY Spiteful," said Amy.
"But you didn't tell me the good
fairy's name" said Lucy.
"I'll call her Good Fairy" said
Amy.
NO." said Lucy, "she must have a
name"
What a bother" said Amy. "You
don't seem to think of anything but
names, Lucy, l have to go back all
the time, and then l forget what l
meant to tell"
Mamma doesn't stold me when
she tells me story" said Lucy. 81
