JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

If for the little while
That life has let to me, fair fortunes smile
Could rest upon me- If my closing days
Could be like this October, all ablaze
With gold and scarlet: If 1 only might
Have hands both full of silvery delight,
And all that wealth can buy, or wealth re-
fine,
Could be at my ommand at wish of mine.
Just for little while!
My child, take what is given to-day
A little money for a little way.
If for the little while
That life had left to me, the MUSES. smile
Could rest upon me; If my closing days
Could be like this glad morning, all ablaze
With sunlit fields and mountain tops OF
thought,
My poems be in every language sought:
If all that noblest genius can combine
Could come together at some word of mine,
Just for little while!
My child, take what is given to-day
A little knowledge for little way.
If for the little while
That life has left to me, full many a rnile
On land or sea, to east or west or north,
Across the world, could at last go forth:
II might mount the heights of Greece or
Rome,
Instead of climbing little hills at home;
If might all the Alpine mountains view.
Instead of watching shadows ON Mount
Blue,
Just for little while!
My child, take what Is given to-day
4 little climbing for a little way.
If for little while
I could be very rich If pile on pile
OF god or gems could be a last my own,
To take and keep, or to be let alone;
If could have enough to give away
To every sufferer, bid the wanderer stay
And eat and drink his fill: if every eye
Looked up with gratitude as passed by.
Just for a little while!
My child, take what is given to-day
A little helping for a little way.
If for the little while
That life has left to me affections smile
Could rest upon mo: if my closing days
Could be, like starry evenings. all ablaze
With blessedness: if lips I loved could say:
"It is SO good to be with you to-day"
If all that heart can hold of happiness

A new book of 1876 pages by Marvin Warren.
Dy irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption and he points out a
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be of immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of eparty, and in making new
converts everywhere.
The retail price of MONEY CHART is 25 cents
We have special arrangement with the publish
ers by which we can furnish cur subscribers the
book for 10 cents.

FATAL LEISURE.
Cessation of Labor Sometimes Re-
suits Disastrously.

Cessation of Labor Sometimes Re
suits Disastrously.
A clergyman, elderly, but not old,
who has served an important parish
during a long period of years to the
entire satisfaction of his parishioners,
decides, not without sincere and fearful
remonstrance from them, to retire from
the pulpit and spend his declining
years in well-earned rest and undis-
turbed contemplation. His health is
vigorous. his mind clear, his heart hap
py. But within few weeks of his re-
tirement he is dead.
Or, instead of a clergyman, say q
lawyer, a doctor, college president,
statesman, an editor, or business man.
Make the necessary changes in descrip-
tive detail. There is no reason apparent
why he might not have continued in his
profession or occupation, for ten, TWEEN
ty or thirty-five years to come. His
eye was not dimmed nor his natural
force abated." His retirement was vol
untary and attended by all circum-
stances that could promise a happy and
unburdened sunset of life. But within
little while, it may be q month, it
may possibly be year or two, he is
dead.
Now let any one of our readers try to
count up from memory the instances
which he has known, or known of, with
in short time past, to which these
words apply. See if the number is not
surprisingly great. We have no space
now to discuss the subject, and it may
be that the theme is too familiar to re-
quire comment. At any rate, to the
thoughtful mind the phenomena are
suggestive of some pensive reflections.

A hospital has been opened in London
for the treatment of wounds, ulcers
and kindred ailments by oxygen gas.
The new method of treatment was sug-
gcsted by the Zulus. When they are
wounded they climb an emiuence and
expose their limbs to the pure air of
the mountain tops. After the Turco-
Russian war it was noticed also that the
invalds sat with their wounded limbs
bare on the deck. Scientifically de-
yeloped. and with the addition of oxy-
gen-one part of oxygen to one part of
purified air-that is the principle now
adopted at the oxygen home.-Chicago

stretch line enough in my back yard
for all these things"
Ne, l don't suppose we can," said
Janet. but we can dry good many
things here in the house, and there S
your large front porch; we can stretch
lots of line on it. and the rest of the
things we can spread on the grass and
hang on the fence
Mrs. Wadlin was not a woman who
cared particularly for looks" but the
idea of her front porch being used as
a drying ground for clothes was far
from agreeable to her. Her face red
dened and she bit her lip when Janet
pulled the sheet away from the contents
of one of the baskets and said:
I'VE wash up all of our bed spreads
and blankets and curtains at this THE
of the year. and here's a basketful to
begin on. Then my Grandmother Logan
is falling into feeble health, and moth
er and intend doing all of her washing
hereafter if she don't improve, and
we've quite u washing for her to-day.
But don't believe that can do thing
until I've had bite to eat. Supposing
we have a little visit over cup of tea
And it would be nice if we could have
some of those peach preserves you said
you had been making, Mrs. Wadlin."
well, if / don't call that cool!" said
Mrs. Wadlin. when she was alone in the
cellar getting dish of her choice and
limited supply of peach preserve. "And
such wash as they've lugged in here.
to say nothing of putting up a basket of
peaches at the same time!"
At nine, ten and eleven o'clock Janet
proposed "a bite to eat," and when the
basket of peaches arrived she said.
coolly: "Now. Mrs. Wadlin. if you'll
just finish this tub of bedclothes. I'll
begin on the peaches. and We'll get a
lot done to-day"
Janet's naturally orderly instincts
seemed to have forsaken her that day.
and Mrs. Wadlin did not greatly ex-
aggerate the condition of her kitchen
when she said to herself, while hanging
out the second lire of clothes:
"You can't move in that kitchen with
out stepping on peach stones or peach
parings, and you can't get peach stains
out of anything! And Janet Logan
must be as hungry natured as goat.
the way she wants to eat all the time!
It'll be five o'clock before we get this
wash out, and then the place will look
like it was drying ground for the
whole town! If this is what washing
with the Logans means, think prefer
to wash alone hereafter!"
1t was six o'clock when Janet threw
herself wearily into a big cushioned
rocking-chair in her own home, and
said, with her hand pressed to her throb-
bing brow:
81 never was so tired before in all my
mortal life. and my head aches as if it
would burst! But Mrs. Wadlin will be
wearicr than I am by the time she
brings all of the things on the lines that
We're not dry when we came away. Did
you hear her say, mother, that she was
afraid it wouldn't be quite convenient
for her to wash here next Monday?"
eyes. certainly I did," replied Mrs.
Logan. 81 doubt if she ever finds it
convenient to bring her washing here
again. And yet we have preserved the
peace."-Youth's Companion.

RULES IN LAUREL COUNTY.

"Big Liz" Vaughn a Terror to the
Eastern Kentucky Officers.
Down in the eastern part of Kentucky
folks tremble when they speak about
Big Liz" Vaugn. Peace officers and
town authorities steer clear of her, and
she sort of runs things in Laurel coun-
ty, where she lives on a farm. Liz is
trifie over six feet in height md
weighs 225 pounds, which is pretty fair
for woman in that part of the coun-
try. She has large family, some of
her children being married. She rules
not only the entire crowd, but also the
ueighbors and all the surrounding
territory pretty much as she pleases.
One thing which helps TO make peo-
pie a bit shy about crossing Mrs.
Vaughn's path when she is looking for
trouble is that She has big knife which
she calls ABE Lincoln.' She knows
how to use it, as many past experiences
have proven, and is not afraid to cut
loose when occasion offers. A few
years ago her husband got mixed up
with a party of eight or ten neighbors
ON the farm and they began to beat
him up, but Liz was there with ABE
Lincoln" and when the marauders saw
it flashing they cleared out in hurry.
The escapade which brought Mrs.
Vaughn the most fame, however, was
the killing of her son-in-law, Cortez
Brown, this spring. Brown had been
hanging around the place drunk and
disorderly for long time and annoying
his wife, who had taken refuge with
her mother. Mrs. Vaughn finally
warmed him to keep away or she would
shoot him. He did not have the same
wholesome fear of his mother-in-iaw
that the rest of the folks exhibit and
tried to force his way into the house.
Big Liz filled him up with 44-calibor
bullets and he died on the doorstep.
The body lay in the dooryard for ten
hours before anyone dared to enter
to remove it. Finally She coroner ar
rived and took charge of it. Mrs.
Vaughn is comparatively young wom-
an, but old enough to take care of her.

X RAYS TO Find GOLD.
Use of the Light May Be Valuable in
Mining Operations.

Mining Operations.
The miner who starts to the Klondike
without finding out whether or not the
X rays can be made use of in laying
out his claims and searching the land
and gravel beds, may miss fortune.
1t will foe all THAT thousands of men
cam do to reach this region with enough
food, clothes and ordinary mining tools,
but there are scientists who believe
the X rays may be made to revolutionize
gold mining in this region before an
other year has passed.
Nikola Tesla is one of the highest
authorities in the world on the X rays
and its possibilities. He has often
given 1T aus his opinion that mountains
can be photographed with this new
light, and that gold mines will be
found with as much precision in the
earth as a bullet or needle is now
located in a PERSONS body. He was
asked for his opinion ON the value of
the X ray in gold mining in the Klon-
dixie. He said such mining was not
only possible, but perhaps practical,
though at this moment to limited
extent.
'Some of the X rays" said he, ''are
without limit as to length and radi-
ography. They are limited now be-
cause of our almost toy apparatus for
producing them. Our instruments in
the present state of electrical devel-
opment have generated rays only a
few feet in length at best, but we know
that they can be made longer. 1t is a
question of tubes and currents, and
at amy moment we may find a way for
producing rays that will penetrate
stone walls and hills and mountains,
not to speak of the earth itself, which
is certainly possibility. The rays,
however, could be made valuable now
in searching small beds of sand and
gravel that have been thrown up by a
shovel for washing"
Dr. S. II. Emmons, of New York, a
noted metallurgist and electrician, who
is an authority ON the X rays,
said they could undoubtedly be
used with great advantage in the
Klondike. He has i'm his Office
a photograph of a piece of quartz
showing gold imbedded in the center
of the rock and concealed from the
naked eye. This photograph shows most
clearly the black spots of gold in the
gray quartz. Said he:
1.-THE X ray could now be used to
great advantage in the sand and gravel
beds in placer mining. For instance,
these beds could be thrown up in shall
low ridges and mounds here and there,
and by the aid of the rays from one
side the miner with his screen could
search this sand and gravel and esti-
mate whether or mot it was worth
washing. Along the creek and river
banks this sand and gravel could be
piled in ridges, and as the miner
searched he could make great headway
with his washin9S, taking off with a
certainty only the richest dirt. have
no doubt an immense amount of labor
could be saved and a great deal more
gold could be mined.'-N. Y. journal.
