UNANSWERED PRAYERS

Like some schoolmaster, kind In being
stern,
Who hears the children crying Ger their
states
And calling "Help me. MASTER" yet helps
not,
Since In his silence and refusal lies
Their acknowledgment, so God abides
Unheeding many prayers. He Is not deaf
To any cry sent up from earnest hearts;
He hears and strengthens when He must
deny.
He sees us weeping over life's hard sums,
But, should He dry our tears and give the
key.
What would II profit us when school were
done
And not one lesson masteredl
What world
Were this II all our prayers were granted
Not In famed Pnndora's box were such
vast Ills
As lie in human hearts. Should our de-
sires.
Voiced one by one, In prayer ascend TO
And come back MS events shaped to our
wish,
What chaos would result
In my fierce youth
/ sighed out breath enough to move fleet
Voicing Wild prayers 20 heaven for fan
cied boons,
which were denied, and that denial bends
Ny knee TO prayers OF gratitude each day
or my maturer life. Yet from those
prayers
rose Away regirded for the strife
And conscious OF new strength. Pray on,
sad heartl
That which thou pleadest for may not be
given,
But In the lofty altitude where souls
Who supplicate Gods grace are lifted,
there
Thou shalt find help to bear thy future
lot
which Is not elsewhere found.

Orchard Grass with Clover.

Orchard grass goes with clover much
better than timothy. though most farm
ers have got in the habit of seeding
timothy and clover together. The or
chard grass will not make a perfect
sod If sown alone, as its habit is to
grow in lunches and spread after the
first year. When sown with clover the
latter as it dies out leaves not only
room but plant food, which the orchard
grass avails itself of. Orchard grass
and clover are both ready to cut togeth-
er, and if cut early. as both should be,
two and even three crops may be grown
on rich land in a season.

Is very liable to go lame after being

weight, puts the large horse at dis

MISS HOFFMaN NOW CONSCIOUS.
Her Assailant Said to be New Haven
 CauyasSer.

Meriden, Sept. 9.--The mystery sur rounding the assault on Miss Mary Hoffman with a slungshot was cleared up in a great measure this afternoon when the young girl regained con- seriousness for the first time since she found senseless in the hallway of her fathers house by her young brother Francis. Relatives and friends soon piled her with questions in their anxiety to gain the necessary information which would lead to the arrest as soon as possible of the man guilty of the assault and robbery. Enough was learned to connect her description with that of a neighbor. The strain was too great for her weakened mental facul- ties and she again relapsed into state of semi-consciousness
 Later Miss Hoffman told how she was coming down stairs and at the foot of the flight met a masked man, who had entered by way of the cellar. He told her to give him her fathers money or he would kill her. The girl screamed and the robber gagged her and bound her hands and feet. After that she says she remembers nothing.
 The police have discovered a man who answers to the description given them by Mrs. Edward Bailey whom they suspect of the deed He is a can vasser for the New Haven firm, Metro politan Manufacturing company.

 Indianapolis, Sept. 9.-Chairman w. D. Bynum of the national democratic party returned from Chicago this morn ing. He said:
 Ut is stated that Chairman Jones has been conducting a somewhat virulent correspondence with Mr. Sewall in an effort to secure his withdrawal in or der that the populistic nominee, Wat son, may have the field clear. It is be- lieved that such a proceeding would fortify the 'demulist' ticket. But MT. Bryan crosses the path of MT. Jones at this juncture and demands that MT.

THREE JUVENILE FIENDs.
They Pour Gasoienc On Boy and Set His
 Clothes on Fire.

Clothes on Fire.
 Boston, Sept. 9-Four-year- old Fred Sanden, son of Frederick Sanden of AL bion street, Medford, had close call from being burned to death yesterday afternoon in a field close to his parents residence. Joseph and William Keene and Eddie Leonard, aged from nine to fourteen, procured can of gasolene and inveigled young Sanden to the field When he arrived there the three boys emptied the can of gasolene all over Sanden, and one of them touched a match to the boys clothing. He was mass of flames in an instant. His cries and those of the other boys, who began to realize what they had done, attracted the attention of some citizens passing and they rushed to the boys assistance.
 They threw the lad down and covered him with sand and continued to roll him over and over until the flames were smothered. The boys clothing was en- tirely burned from his body and he was a mass of blisters. His hands will be disfigured forever. Mr. Sanden was in- clined to make trouble for the three principals in the affair, but owing to a severe sickness in the Leonard boys family and the good standing of the other boys families he has decided not to do anything in the matter.
