fetal.

You need not feel that you are ex-

signifies popularity and merit.

Murine

For the teachers and clerks who have
doubtless prof1ted by their summer va
walton, ought not to drift back to the
tired and wornout condition they
were in previous to taking their vaca-
ton. Take MALT MURINE and con-
tinue to improve.

The word came to her softly, drifting
like q thfstleduwn across the suburbs OF
slumber. where she was constrained to
linger In purlieus ravaged by a Comus
rout of fantastic and inhuman shapes.
Sleep!

Upon the barren shore where she lay
stranded, the tides Of her mind ebbed
and flowed. bearing hiuher and thither
the spome OF her fife. white against the
mirk waters.
Sleep!
Was this the answer 20 her prayers?
Suddenly. as w in obedience to the
command Of a god, the attrition of i'm
agination's innumerable atoms produced
heat. color, light and sound. Out OF the
clamor and confusion were engendered
melody and excellent order; the shad-
ows grew tumid with substance.
She stood once more upon the thresh-
Old OF ~womanhood, a slender child, with
pale, tender face sorrow had set already
its grim seal. She was alone, without
friends or kindred. Those she had loved
best were dead. Now she was leaving
forever the rude %log-cabin shat had
sheltered her for II years. The leafy
glory of the primeval forest cooled her
aching eyes: the hemlocks mlnmured
farewell; the river. rushing onward to
the sea, bore upon Its bosom a
freighted with her poor possessions: two
Shwash Indians, at prov and stern, sat
silently awaiting her.
Sleep!
Not yet, but presently.
She had embarked, and the canoe was
gliding swiftly through the troubled
waters: upon each side Of the river were
mighty pines and cedars, their fragrant
boubghs kissed where the stream narrow

CLEANED white with blossoms; the dog
wood dropped delicate petals into the
dark current that whitfield them away:
the maiden hair ferns quivered as she
passed them by. Then she came to long,
secluded reaches, and lonely pools, the
haunt Of salmon and wild fowl, where
the water flowed slus.gsshly as II wearied
by it's race. From dine to time the weird
cry OF the loon echoed across the north,

swamp of skunk-cabbage.
Sleep!
All. yes; when the tale was told.
What is this? A great city-aglow

GAVE HIM A CHANCE TO BOW.
An odd character wandered into Gov.
Ho;comb's Office the other day, but the
governor did not happen to be in. The
stranger was a thin, pale young man,
atuiret in tweeds, and wore a pair OF
god glasses, the chain being wound
three times about his right ear. AS ne
entered the Office he raised a dinkey
little straw hat, and bowling low to Sec
reary Maret he said:

Secretary Maret FASTENED to assure
the stranger that nothing would please
The great State OF Nebraska more than
to be allowed the privilege OF caring for
the strangers portmanteau for a short
time.
The stranger thanked Secretary Ma,
ret cordially and started out 10 hum up
the tanitor. But before getting outside
the door he raised his hal d~eferentiallr
and asked:
Il really beg yonah pahdon again, but

Secretary Maret flushed and looked
over toward Clerk De France, who
b,ushei and looked back at Secretary
lMares. There was an awkward pause,
but Col. John G. Maher happened to be
present. concealed behind a copy OF the
World Herald. To relieve secretary and
clerk OF their embarrassment Col. Mshei
aid down his paper and remarked:
