Some waggish friend raised the cry OF

OF wondering men and boys were fast
on the heels of the doughty Splinter. A
policeman, hearing the cry and observ-
ing the fleeing man, started in pursuit.

by one the pursuers began 10 fall away.
but the big policeman hung grimly to
his TASK. When the center OF the bridge
was reached. the quarters had been rung
and the great bell had already begun to
strike the hour. A cheer arose from the
watchers on the Surrey side, and Lord
Randolph, who had until then been run
ming up an incline, now had the de-
scent in his favor. A few moments later
the painting policeman came upon his
man, surrounded by admiring friends.
Whats up?" suffered the breathless

Two strokes to spare pulled the vic

The officer stared, blushed, apologize

LARGE MOVEMENT OF SETTLERS.
The first week in this month Witness
ed the largest movement of settlers to
North Dakota known in the history Of
that state. 1t is doubtful If a larger num-
Der of settlers was ever before moved at
one time thar the Great Northern took
out of st. Paul On April 2. The train
consisted of 152 cars Of passengers,
household goods, farm implements, ETC.,
and was divided into five sections. The
total number of men, women and chill
dren was 1857. They came from vari-
Gus states. Indiana, Missouri and Vir-
ginia contributing more than any other
state. Many OF them are known as
Dunkards, or German Baptist Brethren,
and went to join colonies previously To-
Gated in the Turtle mountain and DEVILS
lake regions, where their brethren have
been very successful. Many Of the new
corners will locate on government land,
of which millions OF acres still remain
open for settlement. The Dunkards are
American corn and English speaking,
an industrious farming class, and have
already proved themselves an import,
ant addition to the population Of North
Dakota. They have now along the Great
Northern railroad no less than II set

"A. e. STEVENSON,

Scores of senators and representatives
have gladly availed themselves Of Mr..
Wedderburn's recognized ability and in
tegrity to refer to him the business Of
their constituents sent to them for ref
erence to reputable attorneys
1t is, perhaps. natural that Mr.. We'd
derburn's success should be envied by
some OF his would-be rivals whose bust
ness has suffered by comparison with
the enterprise, publicity and guaranteed
fairness that have characterized the sys-
TEN pursued by his firm. His position
as leader in his profession is 50 impreg-

A INCIDENT.

Some time ago a nan named Mathis,
a member OF the order of knights OF
Pythias, died at Charleston, ILL.,, leav-
ing a widow and four children. The
widow was stricken with consumption,
and the members OF the Charleston
lodges sent the family to San Diego,
Cal, in the hope hat the mothers
health might be restored. But too late.
She died and the knights out there took
the matter in charge and provided trans
portation OF the body and four little or.
phans to Illinois. They were placed on
the train and the X. Of p. lodge at the
first station where meals are served was
notified.
From city to city, as the train sped
the wires to the X. of P. lodges that
the little folks were coming and in not
one instance were care and sympathy
lacking. AS the train would pull into a
city a body OF members OF the order
would come aboard it, searching for the
little mourners and bringing them
baskets Of fruits and sweetmeats, and
sometimes money and presents-sou-
venirs Of their kindness and attention.
When meal time came no passengers
Jared better. The little ones are at home
among friends. and although bereft OF
their natural protectors, they have an
gible proof that they have strong and
willing foster fathers throughout the
land.

Thaddeus Stevens was once opposed
in debate by Horace Maynard, Of Ten
nessee. Maynard was very tall and
straight, and had long black hair which
he wore well down over his c%oat-collar
and which gave him somewhat the ap-
p%earance of an Indian. 1t was eve
rumored that he had some aboriginal
blood in his veins. Maynard prided
himself on his scholarly attainments,
and at the close OF his address he quoted
one or two Latin verses Old Thad re-
piled to Maynard's argument in his
usual vigorous manner, and then paus.
ed for a few seconds until he had sc,
cured the attention of the entire house.
Turning to Maynard, who sat some
distance behind him, he delivered this
parting shot: 80 much for the gen.
tleman's English. As to his Choctaw,

A wonderful Automntn.

If you have ever purchased a pack
age of postal cards you have perhaps
noticed that the strip of paper sur
rounding it looked as though 1t had
been put there in great hurry. So it
Is, but not by nervous human hands.
In the service OF the government at
Washington are two machines which
were made in Connecticut. These
machines are capable of counting $780,
900 cards in ten hours and of sepa-
rating, wrapping and sealing them in
packages Of twenty-five each. The
"trip of paper which goes around them
is pulled off drum by two long fin
gers, and another iron finger dips int
a pot of mucilage and applies itself
to the paper in exactly the right spot.
Another part of the machine wraps the
strip of paper about the cards, thumb
like apparatus presses upon the muci-
lage spot, and the package is thrown
upon a carrier and is ready for deliv-
cry.

SUMMER CARE OF BLANKETS.

Blankets which have been used all win
ter, no matter how white, are never clean,
and should be washed before putting away.
Many housekeepers satisfy themselves by
shaking and airing their blankets rather
than risk spelling them in washing. But
this is mistake for if the work is prop
erly done no shrinking will take place. and
the feecy soft appearance may be retained,
as we'll the color, for years. The necessary
thing in washing blankets is to have plenty
of soft water and good pure soap. Inferior
soap is really the cause of the damage
done wooden goods In washing. 1t hardens
the fibre and yellows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake the blan-
kets free of dust, fill tub half full of hot
water. Dissolve third of cake of Ivory
Soap in it. Put one blanket In at time.
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub sonp on blankets,
or wash them on the washboard After
the blankets IRE clean, rinse in warm water
until free of suds. Add n little blueing to
the last water. Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry. Take down,
fold, lay under weight for day or two,
and pack securely in box and cover.
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as well as wear three
times as long as il put away soiled year
after year. ELIZA r. PARKER.

A Modern
Lazarus.

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated, and their eff,
forts to cure it meet with little success,
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con.
sumption nine times out of ten, so that
it is important for this reason that i'm.
mediate attention be given to all chill,
dren who inherit the slightest faint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, $50 Elm St, Macon,
Ca, writes:
"My boy, Charlie, inherited a scrofu-
lous blood faint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that it was impossible tc
dress him for three years.

WHITE TOPAZ.


Beautiful Stones to BE Seen at the
Diamond Palace.
Every day in the week and every
hour in the day one can see crowds
around the show windows of THE
CHICAGO DIAMOND PALACE. The
cause of it all is the now widely known
White Topaz. The White Topaz, or
carbonated diamonds, have come to be
recognized as the nearest thing on
earth to genuine diamonds, so near in
deed is it that. the proprietors of the
DIAMOND PALACE do not hesitate to
place real diamonds In their windows
amidst their display of White Topaz,
and allow the public to pick them out
at the selling price of the Topaz.
The latter stones have all the lovely
brilliancy of the diamonds, sparkling
steadily and with wonderful fire. The
thousands of these stones in the win
dows forms one of the most gorgeous
displays and has proven an attraction
which is one of the features of Chi
cago.
In order to find out the advertising
medium best suited to their business,
this enterprising concern offers to send
genuine White Topaz to all those
who will cut out and send them their
advertisement, which appears else
where in this paper, together with Csc
in stamps.
THE DIAMOND PALACE, like all
successful institutions, has many imi-
tators, who endeavor to sell cheap
rhinestones and other pastes claiming
. they are topaz. We caution the pub
lie to be careful, as THE DIAMOND
PALACE, American Express building,
Chicago, are the sole importers of these
stones.
