A PROPHECY.

In 1874. Ignatius Donnelly, in speaking
of the struggle between labor and capital,
said that In this great contest the brains
and muscle of the South and West must
unite for self defense against the cunning
and aggression of the northeastern part
of the Union. The prophecy of this hon.
ored reformer is now recognized by near
ly every voter in the country, and the
contemplated union of the South and
West against the plutocratic Northeast
is now recognized as the only means by
which oppressed manhood can be deliver
ed from the clutches of the money
power.-St. Louis Evening Journal.

MARY AND HER LANDLORD.
Mary ope'd little shop,
To help her on life's way;
And honest toll found fit reward,
And it began to pay.
Flows biz?" the landlord often asked.
And Mary was imprudent;
OF course sheHever guessed he was
An economic student.
But Mary's landlords eagle eye
Was watching how things went,
And when the 10Th May came round,
He doubled Mary's rent.
The imposition staggered her,
But what could Mary do?
Subsistence bare Is tenants share,
All above is the landlords due.
So Mary kept on as before,
Improving as time went;
But step by step, with increased trade
The landlord raised the rent.
And thus the merry game went on
Till Mary's life was spent
As fast as fate could prosper her
The landlord raised the rent.

Cenjurer Appears Before tile Suttan.
The subjoined amusing anecdote is
related of reEtwned cOnjurer. He
had travelled over almost the whole
world, when he sought to try his for
tune before the Sultan of Morocco.
After having successfully entertained
the powerful ruler with several clever
tricks, he determin I'd upon closing the
entertainment witt the following won
derful performance. Taxing SNOW
white and gray pigeon, he appeared
to cut off the head of each, and then to
place the white head on the gray
pigeon, and the gray head on the white
pigeon, after which they few away as
though nothing had been done to them.
The Sultan was very enthusiastic
about this performance, and having or
dered two of his eunuchs, u negro,
and native to be brought forward,
he commanded the conjuror to cut Oft
both their heads and exchange them
as he had done in the case of the
pigeons. The performer was some
what taken aback at this peremptory
request, but managed to retain his
presence of mind, and said through his
interpreter: pardon, your most gra-
cious majesty, my apparatus today is
only arranged for pigeons, and not for
men. l require at least fourteen days
to prepare for the desired perform
ance." "Good" replied the Sultan,
"the extension is granted" The con-
juror hurried from the palace and lost
no time in getting out of the country.

Grove, where the gallant soldier fell,
is kept of the same size, and with the
same kind of trees and new ones are
constantly planted, and the older
growth thinned out, so that for all time
Reynolds Grove may look as it did on
the day that made for Gettysburg Il
spot on the map of the world. Old
houses and barns that formed part of
the play are kept in place, and no new
ones which would change the outlook
are allowed to go up. This, of course,
is done through wholesale purchase
of land on the part of the Government.
and each Congress has before it bill
to buy still more territory. The high
ways about Gettysburg were taken out
of the control of the town and given
to the United States Government by
special act of the Legislature of Penn
sylvania, but to this move the provin-
cial inhabitants objected, even though
it saved them thousands of dollars.
The guides of Gettysburg are rather
ponderOus in their style and diction.
They dole out the accumulated folk lore
Of thirty years concerning the battle,

keep abreast of the times and quote
freely from ''Hay and Nickleby," which

History of q Penny,

The history of a penny as given in a
Michigan historical paper runs as fol-
lows:
A penny is the most ancient of Eng
lish coins. The word was originally
used for money in general. 1t is first
mentioned in the laws of Ina, King of
the West Saxons, about the close of
the seventh century, and was of silver
indented with a cross so as to be easily
broken into two or four parts. 1t is
the radical denomination from which
English coin is numbered, weighing
twenty two and one-half grains Troy,
being the two and fortieth part of a
pound.
1t is stated elsewhere that Ethe]bert,
King of Kent, coined pennies a.NHeen
$50 and GIG, A. D.; Edward I. coined
gold pennies. In 1897 copper pennies
were issued, and bronze ones in 1860,
valued at half the copper ones. The
United States coined copper cents and
half-cents in 1898, in 1857 a nickel
cent, and in 1865 bronze cent.
The word penny is derived from the
old German world plant, pledge. 1t
was the only coin current among the
Anglo Saxons. To the lowest coin
Robert Morris gave the name of SCENT"
because it was the hundreth part of a
dollar. Its first coinage was in 1898.

Mcclellan and Lee.


Offences of G certain kind may be so
handsomely atoned for as to leave the

Mcclellan, that 1 first met my future

day, when l saw General Scott and his
staff approaching on horseback. AS
the party drew neal. Major Lee reined
up his horse, and addressing me in an
angry tone, said:

Il returned across the field to my
quarters, feeling much injured, for I
had not knowingly committed any

my fellow officers of Major Lees treat

my story when 1 was told that there

THE STACK BEHIND THE BARN.

September is here with the ripened
seeds,
And the homely smell of the autumn
weeds;
My heart goes back to vanished day,
And l am again a boy at play
In the stack behind the barn.
Dear memory of the old home-farm;
The hedge e-rowS fencing the crops from
harm,
The cows, too heavy with milk for
haste.
The barnyard, yellow with harvest
waste,
And the stack behind the barn.
Dear, dear. dear, the old garden smell.
Sweet William and phlox that L loved
so well,
And the seeding mint, and the sage
turned gray,
But dearer the smell Of the tumblcd
hay
In the stack behind the barn.
In the side OF the stack we made our
nest,
And there was the playhouse we loved
the best.
a thicket of golden-rod bending and
bright,
Filled us with glory and hid us from
sight
In the stack behind the barn.
Then. when the stack, with the year,
ran low,
And our frosty, morning checks were
aglow,
When time had forgotten the dropping
leaves,
What JOY to jump from the barns wide
caves
To the stack behind the barn.
D, childhood years! Your needless feet
Have slipped away with how much
that's sweet.
But dreams and memory master you.
Til the make-believe of life is through
still may play as the children do
In the stack behind the barn.

The town of Gettysburg is given owe.
to the battlefield. That is almost the
only business and furnishes substan-
TALLY the only occupation Of the great
er part of its people. The 5000 inhab-
itants of the large shire town are most
ly hotel keepers. photographers, guides
and carriage drivers. The founders of
the town could hardly have realized
what sort of industry would eventually
engross the attention of its people.
They are very good-natured about il.
and evidently live from one years end
to the other saturated in the atmos-
phere of the battle.
The artistic merits of the collection
of monuments on the field of Gettys-
burg is matter of much controversy.
Sometimes Gettysburg has been refer
red to as our national museum of mon-
strosities, or chamber of horrors. The
idea Of putting cemetery monuments
all over town, for space of six miles
long by two miles broad, is to many
not n tasteful idea. Others declare that
this city of memories is wonderfully
impressive, and could not in its line be
eXcelled. To criticise the monuments
themselves would be large task, since
there are no two designs alike. The
equestrian statues of Hancock, Meade
and Reynolds are quite as beautiful
and artistic as anything of the kind in
Washington, while some of the smaller
monuments, like a few that might be
found in Mount Auburn or Forest Hills.
are a little short of being artistic.
was much amused by the comments of
Il party of Ohio men, returning from
Il druggists convention somewhere,
who were riding over the field. When
they reached one monument at the base
of which rests bronze dog, represent
ing a faithful animal that followed the
regiment throughout the struggle. the
guide told the story of the dogs fidelity
with ponderous seriousness. Just rs
the party drove on dog appeared run
ming about, the exact counterpart in
size, color and looks of the bronze me

man standing beside the newly disrrv-

of Those having the field in charge IS
the attempt TO keep things just as theg
