BRIDE N A FOREST DEPTHS
Stolen From Her Husbands Side by a
Rejected Lover.
Made Him an Idiot by a Blow-Af-
ter Two Years Search, She is
Found Bringing in a Rude Hut
and Her Captor Proving Around
Her.

Vanceboro, Me-, Oct. 16.-The sensa-
tlonal killing of Ellie Sirois at her wed
Qlng ieast two years ago, by Peter Blu
peer, her rejected lover, and the COM
Iiete and mysterious disappearance OF
both has been solved by Joe Lacoot, a
famous trapper of Lambert Lake.
Ellie Sirois was belle Of the village
OF Wytopitlock, and while she had
smiles for all young men there were
only two whom she permitted to take
her home from singing school. One
was Rosie Pelletier and the other was
Peter Bubeer. Both young gallants
fought eagerly for her hand, and after
rival courtship of two winters Peter
Pelletier was accepted. Bubeer had
vowed vengeance, but before the we'd
ding acknowledged that he was beaten.
The wedding was country event of
magnitude. All the bellies and beaux of
the region were there. Bubeer was not
invited. The ceremony had been per-
formed, and as the guests were making
merry, the bride the merrieSt of all, the
door suddenly opened, and Bubeer, fir
Ing his revolver in the air to terrify the
guests, burst into the room, and snatch
ing Ellie from the arms of her hus-
Dand, dragged her outdoors, and throw
Ing her over the back of horse that
was in waiting, jumped into the sad
die, and with defiant curse and shout
sped away in the darkness.
They had never been seen since. and
now comes the famous trapper, Joe La
coot, with his weird tale, sowing the
mystery
In the midst of the North Washing
ton Wilderness, he discovered, herding
with some gaunt wild dogs, the strang-
est mortal he had ever seen, naked and
hairy, and walking on all tours. 1t
was Peter Bubeer, turned to an idiot
by blow from an ak in the hands of
his stolen bride he was holding in
cruel Imprisonment.
Nearby Lacott found a rude brick
bark shack, inside of which was the
broken-hearted girl. During the whole
two years she had seen no other mortal
face than Bubeer's, and had suffered
unspeakable abuse and torture from
the brute.
The trapper rescued the prisoner,
taking her to the camp of Henry White,
on Saponic Stream, where an expedi-
ton, headed by her husband, will be
sent to bring her back to Lambert
Lake.
The officers of the nearest township
will be asked to send in and remove
Peter Bubeer to place Of detention or
to the insane asylum at Augusta The
hogs will be shot, and the camp where
the poor bride passed so many months
of bitterest anguish, will be burned.

The gearing can be reversed and the

Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood that nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve medi-
cine and spring remedies; the real
seat of the mischief is lost sight of;
the stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness. Ner-
vous dyspepsia itself shows not in the
stomach SO much as in nealy every or
gan; in some cases the heart palpi-
tates and is irregular; in others the
kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accumu-
latiOn of slS, sour risings and heart
burn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Pros

Mr.. Gladstone, dining with the wit.
ty Irish priest, Father Healey, said
II have recently come from Rome
where I saw the offer of plenary indul
gence for fifty francs. Now what au.
thority has your church to forgive my
sins for fifty francs?" Father HeaJy
with twinkling eyes, replied, 81 think
any church that will forgive your sins
for fifty francs, is letting you off very
cheaply."
George D. Prentiss, the famous Ken.
lucky editor, was as famous as Father
Healey Tor repartee- When some one
challenged him to fight a duel, be
replied: cit takes only one fool to
send challege but two to fight; I dc
not intend to be one of them" But
one of his most striking displays Of
wit was shortly after the hanging Of
John Brown, by order of Coy. Wise
of Virginia, when he said in his pape,
that the poorest man he ever knew

he ever knew was. named Poor, and
the Governor of Virginia was named

SOMETIME.

Some time we shall know why
Our summer mornings change to moons
OF rain;
And why we often lie
On couches sown with thorns OF care
aud doubt;
And why our lives are thickly hedged
about
With bars that put our loftiest plans to
Some time we shall know why
Our dearest hopes are swept so swift
away,
And why our brightest flowers first de-
cay;
Why song is lost in sigh;
Why clasping fingers slip so soon
apart
Enlargement, space and death rend
heart from heart,
Until from deepest depths the tear
drops start.
Some time we all shall know
Each other, aye, as we ourselves are
known,
And see how out of darkness light has
grown,
And He-WhO loves us so,
Despite our willfulness and blind com.
plant
Will show us how His kind and calm
restraint
Can mould human soul into saint
Some time our eyes shall see
The silver lining to the darkest cloud
While silvery echoes follow thunderf
loud.
Some time our hearts shall be
Content, forgetting all our restless
mood.
And knowing everything has worked
for good
The how, and when, and why, be un'
derstOod.

A Song sparrow's Gratitude.
Courier Journal.

Courier Journal.
It is a rare occurrence for animals in
wild state to select man for a compan-
ion and friend, yet we'll authenticated
instances when this has been done are
a matter of record. The following in
cident is youched for by young lady
who is a close and accurate observer:
Last week my brother, lad OF IL,
killed snake which was just in the
act of robbing song sparrow's nest.
Ever since then the male sparrow has
shown his gratitude to George in a tru-
ly wonderful manner. When he goes
into the garden the sparrow will fly to
him, sometimes alighting on his head,
at other times on his shoulder, all the
while pouring out a tumultuous song
of praise and gratitude. 1t will ac-
company him about the garden never
leaving him until he reaches the gar
den gate. George, as you know, is a
quiet boy, who loves animals, and this
may account In a degree for the spar
rows extraordinary actions"

For School Children.
Our Young People.

Our Young People.
It was the first day of school after a
vacation. The children were playing in
the yards. The teachers sat at their
desks waiting for the bell to strike to
call the children to the different rooms.
The hands OF the different clocks point
ed to quarter before nine.
The bell was sort of gong, fastened
to the outside of the building, and the
master OF the school could ring it by
touching knob in the wall near his
desk. 1t was now time to call the
children into school. The master pull
ed the bell, and waited. Still the mer-
ry shouts could be heard in the school
yards. Very strange! The children
were SO engaged in play that they could
not hear the bell, he thought. Then
he pulled it more vigorously. Still the
shouts and laughter continued.
The master raised his window, clap
ped his hands, and pointed to the bell.
The children rushed into line like lit
tie soldiers, and waited tor the second
signal. The teacher pulled and pulled
and pulled, but there was no sound.
Then he sent boy to tell each line to
file in and he sent another boy for a
carpenter to find out if the bell-cord
was broken.
What do you think the carpenter
found? A little sparrow had built its
nest inside the bell, and prevented the
hammer striking against the bell. The
teacher told the children what the
trouble was, and asked If the nest
should be taken out. There was loud
chorus of mo, sir"
Every day the four hundred children
would gather in the yard, and look up
at the nest. When the little birds were
able to fly to the trees IN the yard, and
no longer needed nest, one of the
boys climbed on ladder and cleared
away the straw and hay, go that the
sound of the bell might call the child
rem from play.

DEsoLATIoN IN IRELAND.
ALI Hope ofSaving Any Of the Crops

London, Sept. 8.-Lamentable re-
ports continue to pour in from all parts
of Ireland of the havoc wrought among
the crops. The weather continues
most unpropltious, and all hope of
saving a remnant of the crop is fast
fading away.
The English press is now beginning
to realize the situation, though mimi
MIXING its gravity. Tonight the Min
lsterial st. James Gazette admits /:
1.-THE potato crop has failed everywhere
and there is something to excuse the
alarmist language of those who are
beginning to talk about the great IA
mine but distress on that scale is no
more likely than another invasion OF
the barbarians. Yet there will be in a
measure suffering In Ireland, real, if
less terrible than that which the pro-
fessional agitator is beginning to pre-
dict"
The professional agitator has made
no prediction in the present instance.
The cry has come from people all over
the country and English tourists are
writing to the press describing the
ruined harvest they have everywhere
seen.

Of the most notable ones that flaeh into

Nearly three-fourths of the men who

The Cigarette Evil.
Savannah NeWs.

PEOPLE of all nations have bad hab-
its, which are acquired by certain
percentage of the population ana
which are by many carried to point
where they become obnoxious ana
dangerous evils. In many countries
there are about as many of these bad
habits rs there are classes OF people.
The beginning of them with the in
diyidual is more often through the
force of example curiosity or expert
ment. The Chinaman loves his opium
pipe the Russian peasant drinks his
vodkl, cheap alcoholic stimulant, al
most as he would water; the French
man Is fond of his absinthe, deeply
insidious draught; the Englishman is
ready to acquire almost any kind OF a
bad habit with little novelty about 1t ::
the Indian loves to pour down any
sort of cheap liquor until he cannot
swallow another drop; the negro de-
lights in craps and policy, and cannot
get enough of either until he plays one
too many times and gets the contents
of another negro's gun, and the Ameri-
can boy, sad to relate, and too often
the American adult, goes down from
the effects of the cigarette.
All the circumstances considered,
there are few of these evils which are
more insidious or more far reaching IL
results than the cigarette habit. 1t is
to the cigarette that much OF the mod
ern degeneracy may be attributed. Ii
there has been a decrease in the men,
tai force and powers OF the American
people, in any degree, and such a
charge has been made by several socl-
oloeists, there is no doubt that it can be
attributed in part to the cigarette.
While none believe that there has been
a general deterioration of intellect, OF
a deterioration among any considerable
portion OF the people, there have
doubtless been many minds stunted In
their youth and had their full growth
cut off by the noxious cigarette.
In the state of Georgia it is unlawful
to sell cigarette to minor. In Ten
nessee not only the sale but the Civ
ing away of cigarettes to anyone, no
matter how old, is prohibited under a
penalty of fine and imprisonment, and
the result is cigarette smoking in that
state Is confined almost entirely to WIS.,
itors who bring their supply with them.
Georgia unfortunately permits the sale
of cigarettes to any one except minors
but as the law stands, 1t should be en-
forced, and any person or persons found
selling cigarettes to parties under
twenty-one years should be made tc
suffer the penalty. In spite of charges
made by Judges to grand jures, ir
spite OF grand jury presentments, il
spite of indictments and convictions
the negro policy player will play poll
cy; nevertheless the courts, it would
appear, give him much attention, tt
the neglect of other classes of violation.
OF the law. Unless the policy business
is going to be broken up, which has
not yet been the case it might be vel
to give the policy negro a breathing
spell and pay some little attention tc
the cigarette law.
