son from him, Sir Walter. / am becom-
ing much aggrieved, you are so formal
and polite. You don't frolic with me;
you don't pet me. l declare, Walter,
you haven't kissed me for these three
weeks!"
AS she spoke she held up her beauti-
full face, the crimson lips pouting
archly.
Poor Walter colored crimson, STAN
mered incoherently, and then darted
away.
Ellie burst into tears; Tom whistled,
and Mr.. Vernon, closing his book, fol-
lowed after his son.

couth and awkward creature, of whom,
if ever rescued, my relatives would be
ashamed? No, no, Walter; come what
may, you will always be the best and
dearest-no one else can fill your place"
Walter touched with his lips the
white little hand flung toward him in
the earnest gesture. What more might
have been said was prevented by the
quiet advance Of Mr.. Vernon.
"Here is our father" cried Eleanor,
springing down from the rock and run
ming to hang fondly on his arm. "Ah,
mon pere, we have had such delight
full excursion at the brook up in the
country, and we were Industrious, too,
so that even Tom praised our fine
string of fish,"
Mr.. Vernon passed his hand caress-
lngly over her bright curls.

why Mayor Wallace Resigned.

J. W. Wallace was mayor of Par
nassus, Pa. His official life is now a
matter Of the past. Religious scruples
worked the change.
Wallace believed that what work was
done should be attended to on week
days. His fellow-townsmen differed
from him in views.
An ordinance before the council was
written on Sunday. In the mayors
eyes 1t was grevious offense. He
could not countenance such disrespect
of the Sabbath.
And on the next day he resigned.

WOMEN STARING AT WOMEN

A Mans Comments on This Weakness
of tho Fair Sex.
Two women pass each other on the
street of provincial town; they are
not acquainted, yet it is long odds that
one of them turns around to look after
the other-very short odds against
both doing so, says the Nineteenth
Century. It IS not the gait or the
figure or the hair of the stranger that
has attracted atention it Is the dress,
not the person within it. The gentle
anarchists who are busy organizing
the decentralization of man will. of
course, attribute this little failing to
the vanity of the feminine mind by
reason of mans tyranny in excluding
women from boards of directors and
other intellectual arenas. 1t may be
conceded that psychology and better
ment are more reconcile fields than
millinery, but this would be but dull
world and far uglier than it Is if every
woman had soul above chiffons. Odds
grenadine and tarlatan! That were q
contamination by 40 means desirable.
No, let all men who have eyes to see
withal or hearts to lose set great store
by the pains bestowed on pretty dress
ing, but If one may speak and live the
art should be studied with subtler tact
than is sometimes seen. 1t should be
better concealed; it is distressing to see
a young woman's eyes, wandering over
the dress of her with whom she is talk
ing, for If the mind be engaged in TAX
ing note of external detail conversation
ceases to be intercourse and becomes
the cracking of thorns under the pot.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1896-06-05


conversation ensued, from which they
were interrupted by Walter, who came
rushing in with face so CHASTITY they
both sprang up in alarm.
Quick, father, quick! Come UP to
Tom. He is hurt; he is dying, l am
afraid"
Mr.. Vernon seized flask of brandy,
preserved carefully for such exigencies,
and darted after his son, who had flung
an arm around Eleanor, and almost
carried her in his rapid flight back to
Tom.
At the foot of the tall tree to which
the flag staff was nailed they found
poor Tom. He was lying just as Wal
ter had left him, with face wearing
the awful, unnistakable signet Of
death. Mr.. Vernon shuddered, and
flinging himself frantically beside him,
groaned:
"Oh, Tom, Tom, what terrible thing
has come upon us? What has hap
pened to your"
The glazing eyes turned lovingly to
the distracted group.
my hour has come this time. The
'Petrel's' ribs wasn't cleaner stove up
than mine are now. Toms last voyage
is nigh on it ended"
"It can't be, it shan't be-" shouted
Walter fiercely, and passing his arm
under the dropping head he poured q
little brandy in his hand and wet the
clammy, parted lips, and turning impa-
tiently to his father, said almost an
grily:
"Why do you look so hopeless? Help
me take him up; help me to do what
will make him we'll again"
"No, no, lad, don't move me; it's no
use. Tom tells we so himself-he's
sighted the promised land already.
Good children, dear children, ye're sor-
ry to lose poor Tom; he thanks you
kindly Mr.. Vernon, sir"
"Tom, my best friend, my preserver
and savior, say on, 1 hear you," sobbed
the strong man, hiding his quivering
face.
I'm going fast, and must say quick
while can talk all I want you to do.
I've wrote down where my sister lives
long ago; you'll see it, and if you ever
get away from here l know you'll see
her. Tell her I was willing to die,
that alters tried to do the best could,
and I know the Lord is merciful."
Mr.. Vernon could only take the cold
hand in his and press it tenderly for a
response.
IT know yell miss me, but the use of
the change will soon come. I'm sorry
so much hard work will fall to you
without Toms stout arm to do It, but
the Lords will be done. He knows
what's best, and can take care of you"
He paused again to rest, and seemed
sinking into a stupOr, until Walter
tried to move him to more comforta-
BILE position, when he smiled feebly in
thanks, opened his eyes, and said with
considerable energy.

HARD KNOCKS.

The air is prolific of deforma-
tion, but the factory of contumely
and billingsgate is very old fac
tory.
Tell us of any man greatly USE
full who has not been greatly
abused. Crossing the sea, / used
to hang over the side of the ocean
steamer and watch the strokes of
the waves against the ships cut
water. / noticed when it was fog
gy, and we were making only
seven or eight knots an honr,
there was little air in the water,
but when it was fair weather, and
we went at the rate of 400 miles a
day, the ocean tossed in front of
the prov and boiled on either side
of us. So just in proportion as a
Christian makes headway in Chris
tian enterprise, in that ratio there
will be commotion and excited re-
sistance. If nothing be said
against you, if you have never
been assaulted, if everybody seems
pleased with you, you are making
little or no progress; you are wa
ter-logged. Instead of mastering
the waves, the waves master you.
All of you who will do your du-
ty, must take share of this hard
treatment. Be not over sensitive.
If you see two persons talking in
a corner and occasionally looking
over towards, you are apt to be
annoyed and think they are talk
ing about you. Let not your mind
sit brooding over one small egg of
provocation until it is hatched out
into a great, filthy vulture of un-
happiness. Christian Herald.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. We have used it quite exten-
sively and it has always given entire sa-
tisfaction.-0lagah. Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is known
to be certain preventive ofpneumonia.

used it for colds and la grippe. We have
never yet learned of single case hat-

who have weak lungs or have reason to
fear an attack of pneumonia, should
keep tho remedy at hand. The 25 and

The next political occuranCe
that will attract attention will be
the selection of delegations to the
constitutional convention which
is to be assembled in New Orleans
in February, 1898, assuming that
the electors will decide to hold
same. The convention will be
composed of 134 delegates, SO of
whom will be elected by the dis
tricts that now elect representa-
tives to the lower house, and 36
will be selected from the State at
large. Iberville, therefore, will
have at least two members of the
convention. The most important
business of the convention will be
to regulate the suffrage, and the
Judiciary system will no doubt be
changed. 1t is probable that the
populists and regular republicans
will oppose the holding of the
convention, and there will also be
lilly white and democratic SEN
timent in the same direction, but
the best men among the new re-
publicans and the great mass OF
the democracy, who really have
the welfare of the State at heart
and desire the elimination of the
negro from our politics, will favor
the assembling of the same very
warmly.-Iberville South.

MILLENNIUM AT HAND.

The Rev. ID. II. NJ. Wharton, of
Baltimore, prominent as an evan
gelist, thinks the millennium is
close at hand. In his sermon last
Sunday on The War Clouds, and
What They Mean" he said, in
part:
"Christ is coming again. 1t will
be personal coming. He came
first as a prophet and priest. He
will come again as King at the
resurrection. He will call the
righteous dead from their graves,
and the righteous still alive will be
called together. l believe that the
Christian men and women will dis
appear suddenly from the streets,
and the world will know nothing
about it. Men will go On with
business as before
Il cannot prophesy as to the
time of his coming, but according
to my belief, it looks as if this is
about the signs. The gospel has
been preached to all nations; there
is general falling away among
Christians from the faith; there is
great suffering, martyrdom such
as the world never saw, for
Chrlst's sake; great earthquakes,
and war clouds, and war talk more
portentous than ever before.
These facts are signs which por-
tend the coming of the King"

CARLISLE, CHIEF.

Our city council is having, it
seems, some trouble in appointing
a chief of the fire department. We
cannot see why this is. Has not
the present chief proved a good
man for the place. Can we hope
to get man in this position who
will do more to improve the de-
partment than he? When we lie
down in our homes at night we
can know that the boys arc at
their post of duty and ready to
respond should an alarm of fire be
turned in. The station is kept
clean and decent and everything
seems to be in the best of order.
Instead of the departm ent going
down, it is being built up. We
say. let we'll enough alone and re,
tain J. b. Carlisle as chief of the
department.
