by Dance and Supper.
Something About the Patron Saint of
England and the Dragon
Which He Slew.

The sons and daughters of Old Eng.
land met Friday in Elks' hall to cele.
brate st. Georges day. Strictly speak

the celebration should have occurred
the day before, but being unable to Sc
cure a suitable hall on that day the cele-
bration was postponed till Friday,
and was none the less enthusiastic on
that account The celebration com.
menced in the evening with the follow
ing program, which was listened to with
pleasure and drew frequent rounds of
applause:

joyed themselves in the dance till mid
night, when supper was served in the
banqueting room, and after this the

enjoyable one to those in attendance.

Young Mrs. Stanley. Who Shot Herself,
Has a Chance For Recovery.
Miss Sadie Hosley, only 10 years old,
shot herself at her parents home, near
Bennington, n. Y, recently because
they would not allow her to be married
to Henry Stanley. who is q year older
than herself and pupil in the public
school at North Bennington.
The young couple have been desper-
ately in love with each other for many
months, but the girls parents were OPP
posed to the match. After she had tried
to kill herself and was wavering be-
tween life and death with an ugly bull
let wound from an old horse pistol
above her heart, it occurred to them that
it might help her to recovery if they re-
Tented. The physician in attendance
agreed with them.
Accordingly young Stanley and a
justice of the peace were summoned, and
the pair were married at midnight She
is still struggling for life and has q
fair chance for ultimate recovery. She
has gained steadily i'll vitality and spir-
its since she became Mrs. Stanley and
realized that her OBJECT had been attain
cd even ut the risk of her own life.

How to Secure Arbitration.

Arbitration conventions are well
enough i'll their way. But the best way
for this country to create q feeling
among the nations of the world in favor
of international arbitration is to spend
about $50, 600, 600 per year in coast de-
lenses, warships and things of that kind.
Before nation will consent to arbitrate
it must respect the military and naval
strength Of the other fellow. Arbitra-
ton will be popular only in proportion
to the exhibit that nations can make of
their means of offensive war.-Clinton

Unrest.

Here is the mountain, there is the sea,
Each symbol of destiny.
What though the mountain top cleaves the sky.
What though the clouds kiss its pinnacles high.
What though the ocean caresses the shore,
Murmuring secrets the pillows roll DER.
Cold is the kiss that the white vapors weave,
Barren the secret the seashells receive.
The heart Of the wave in its wild unrest
Longingly lifts toward the mountains crest
The deep prisoned heart of the mountain cave
kighs to euibraee the cool ocean wave;
Yet. We're stern nature to we'd these twain,
Each would strive for its freedom again

The Precious Load.

Shortly before midnight q special ex-
press car was switched to the express
house and the kegs were put aboard.
Two men, provided with arms and
ammunition enough to have frightened
away n small army of train robbers, got
into the car and locked the door They
were under orders not to open the door
till they had the signal to do so from
the men outside. A set of signals had
been arranged, so that the men inside
could communicate with their friends
without.
The train left the station at mid
night. Probably not more than half n
dozen people who saw it pull out knew
what precious load the extra express
car contained. In the passenger cars
were six guards. They were scattered
through the cars SO as to have the pas
sengers all in view. Whenever the
train, in its three hour run to Jersey
City, stopped for station or crossing,
some Of these men left the cars and
went forward. By means of their code
of signals they asked the men in the
express car if everything was we'll with
them, and, receiving an affirmative re-
spouse, they jumped aboard the train
again as it started AT 80 O'Clock the
train reached Jersey City, and the spe-
cial express car was switched to the
United States express house. The kegs
of gold were unloaded into a steel cage,
and the six men stood guard over it
till 2 o'clock. At that hour it was load
ed into wagons with two men mounting
guard in each and taken across the
ferry. Liberty street and Broadway
were very quiet as the string of wagons
ratified over the cobbles, turning from
Broadway into Wall street. The assist
ant treasurer was waiting at the sub
treasury to receive the treasure. He
counted the kegs, saw that the govern
ment seal on each was intact and
signed receipt for them. Then the six
guards and the special agent heaved
great big joint sigh Of relief and went
away to deposit the receipt at the COM
pany's Office on Broadway, and then to
get some much needed rest.
Uncontrolled Fate.
AS showing how little the brightest
newspaper man can dispose of his fate,
let me tell what the late Colonel John
A. Cockerill said two years ago about
going on The Herald. Said one of his
intimate friends: II asked him one day
in The Advertiser office if the rumors
of his going on The Herald were true,
and he said: The Herald is not big
enough for Bennett and me. may go
to Harlem or Hoboken or hell, but I
shall never go to The Herald" And yet
he died in the employ of The Herald.

must have been thinking Of
dyspepsia ; for there is certainly no other
trouble on earth that keeps you SO ever
lastingly struggling against being crushed
into utter despair. Anything that cures
dyspepsia lifts about half the weight of
misery that brushes mankind, - and wo-
mankind.
The trouble with most of the so called
dyspepsia cures, is that they don't cure.
They give only temporary relief. Indiges-
tion usually extends all through the diges-
tive tract, from the stomach clear down to
this large intestine the liver too is frequent
1y involved in the trouble being torpid and
inactive. For a thorough, radical, per-
manent cure you must have the whole di-
gestive organism set right.-Not violently
stirred up, but regulated. Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets will do it. They stimu-
late the digestive juices of the stomach
invigorate the liver and help it to actively
secrete the bile and act gently on the
bowels to promote q regular healthy move
ment. This means complete and last
ing cure of digestive troubles.
The "Pe1lets" are not severe cathartic.
They act on the bowels naturally and COM
fortably though surely. The dose can be
regulated to your needs, and when the
"Pellets " have done their work they can
be discontinued. You don't become a
slave to their use. as with other pills. If
the druggist suggest some gripping pill that
gives him more profit, think lOhat s1iH
profit you most.

THE MORTGAGE. A mortgage

GRAFT Your PECANs.-As many
persons have within the past few
years set out pecan orchards, while
many others are likely to do so In the
future, the experience of II Warren
county experimenter may be worth
something to both classes. Having
planted a very fine variety, he discov-
cred when the young trees came into
bearing that in point Of quality they
were by no means up to the standard
Of those he had planted and is of the
opinion that the seedlings should be
grated with the branches Of a well
known tree of high quality, in order
to insure the best results. He also
suggests that persons about to plant
or who have already done so, should
take the trouble to inform themselves
fully on this point, not taking his
statement for granted, but applying
to higher authorities for information
1t is understood that the pecan i.
easily grated, in which case it would
be better to plant the common varic
tics and put into them cions from the
