Legend of the Pitcher of Tears.

Legend of the Pitcher Of Tears.
Many days a stricken mother,
10 her loss unreconciled,
Wept hot, bitter tears, complaining,
Cruel Death has stolen my child"
But one night as she was sleeping.
To her soul there came a vision,
And she saw her little daughter
In the blessed fields Elysian.
All alone the child was standing,
And a heavy pitcher holding:
Swift the mother fastened to her,
Close around her arms Unfolding.
'Why so sad and lonely. darlng?"
Asked she. stroking soft her hair.
See the many merry children
Playing in the garden fair,
''Look. they're reckoning and calling;
Go and help them pluck the flowers.
Put aside the heavy pitcher.
Dance away the sunny hours
From the tender lips a-Iuiver
Fell the answer on her ears:
''On the earth my mothers weeping,
And this pitcher holds her tears.
''Tears that touch the heavenly blossom
Spoil the flowers where'er they fall:
So as long as she is weeping.
] must stand and catch them ALL"
"Wait no longer" cried tho dreamer:
Run and play. sweet child of mine;
Never more shall tears of sorrow
Spoil your happiness divine"
Like Il bird released from bondage
Sped the happy maid away,
And the dreamer woke, her courage
Strengthened for each lonely day.

INDIANA SUGAR BEETS.

North JudsOn, Ind, Dec. 1O.-Sugar
beet raising and beet sugar making
were given an impetus in Northern In
diana 10y convention here of promin-
ent capitalists, scientists. railroad Off
Gals and farmers. Gov. Mount said
the Kankakee river valley had been
bountifully blessed by nature in all
that was necessary for the perfect cul-
tiyatiOn of the sugar beet. and there
was no reason why the farmers of
northern Indiana should not make
large quantities of sugar. II. T. Jul
Fuehrmann, a representative of the
American Beet Sugar Factory COM
pany. said that in Utah factory had
paid the owners as high as 81 per cent
on their investment.
Mr.. Trissel said the American farmer
could prOfitably raise the sugar beet
and manufacture sugar without the
aid of the tariff, which made the sugar
trust a possibility, the enemy which,
should they become manufacturers of
sugar. they would be compelled to
fight.
The evening and closing session was
devoted to the organization of an asSO-
citation to promote the growing of sug-
ar beets and if possible to secure the
location of factory in the valley.

tity of gold in the Yukon. He came
quietly out of the north afterward, and
finding his brother Robert, told him
of the golden discoveries.
Robert Henderson, trusting his broth
er's Judgment, went into the Yukon
and, penetrating further than his
brother, discovered the rich deposits
from which gold is now being taken.
Recently Henderson returned from
the Yukon and came on business tC
New York. While there he was in.
terviewed by the Journal, and the curl,
Gus markings between his eyes were
noted. The result was a visit to a
photographer and the production of a
picture which shows the Klondike
brand at its best.
THAT is the typical Klondike face
said Henry Henderson, when the pho
tographer showed him the picture.
Every man in the Yukon who has been
there any length of time has those
marks between the eyes. It's the brand
of the gold seeker
st doesn't take him long to acquire
the brand, and it will stay with him
until he dies.
eve get it by the constant contrac-
ton of the brows brought about by
the binding sun glare from the Klon-
dixie SHOWS. Newcomers invariably
complain of awful headaches and put
it down to the change of climate. We
who live there know this headache is
caused by the strained muscles of the
forehead in their struggle to accustom
themselves to the perpetual frown ne
cessitated by the glazing white light
from the sun-lIissed snow. Little by
little that frown becomes habitual, and
so it eats into the skin until it places
between a mans eyes the brand of
gold
Some tell me the marks show more
plainly on me than on others. If this
be true it is probably because / have
been there longer. When other men
come out next spring there will be an
opportunity to judge. Joe Ladue and
all the other men who have lived long
in the Klondike have the marks nearly
as plainly as l."
Henderson is only 80 years old, but,
owing to the lines on his forehead, he
looks to be GO. Around his eyes have
clustered an infnitude of the tiny
wrinkles generally associated with old
age. These, too, he says, are a part Of
the badge of the Klondike.

Great Surgical Operation.

Three months ago Is yards of silver
wire, as large around as an ordinary
hypodermic needle, were introduced
and coiled within the aorta (the arterial
channel leading from the hearD of
Adrian Dehertoghe, machinist, of San
Francisco. Surgeons say the operation
has saved his life. The patient was suf-
fering from aneurism or saculated
tumor of the arterial wall. Arupture of
the aorta was on the question of time.
The wire was introduced to partly fill
the abnormal sac and form clot which
would in time contract and be absorbed,
restoring the channel to its normal for
knation.

A WONDERFUL REGISTER
It Prints Your Railroad Tickets
While You Wait.
An Economical and Absolutely Ac-
CITRATE Machine for the Better Pro-
lection of the Treasures of
Railroad Companies.

For long time the railroad COM
panies have been endeavoring to find an
economical, accurate and practical reg
lister. A most ingenious machine has
Just been invented which manufactures,
prints and cuts the ticket automatical-
" on one side, while on the other side
it registers the number of the ticket,
its destination and the price, says the
New York Herald. A simple addition
of the numbers lined on this band
gives the total of the amounts which
the receiver has registered during the
day.
Everyone knows that the tickets de-
liyered to the station masters are Of
different colors, according to their class
and their destination and whether they
are full fare, half rate or excursion.
All the tickets are most carefully man
ufactured, as they represent impor-
tant sums of money. From the man
ufacturer they are delivered to the main
office, and from there distributed over
the whole territory covered by the rail-
road company. 1t can easily be seen
that the slightest mistake in their man
ufacture would cause endless confusion.
As each station is the object of special
fabrication, as the name, the number
and the point of departure, are al
ways printed upon it, it may be realized
that an immense number of pieces of
cardboard are prepared.
The manufacture and the registering
of such an enormous stock of small
pieces of cardboard are so complicated
that the companies really do not know
just where they stand all the time.
Mistakes and frauds are daily COM
mitted, Notwithstanding all the pre-
cautions taken. The machine which is
here presented has been invented with
the idea of preventing any mistakes or
fraud, and of correctly registering
every day the exact number Of tickets
sold and the amounts received for them.
The apparatus is quadrangular in
form. At the bottom of the box is a
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1897-12-10


small electric motor, this sets nick
el-plated wheel in motion, this wheel
being placed on a level with the han
die on the left side of the apparatus.
The long cardboard bands are rolled
around three or as many wheels as
are needed, situated above the motor
and below the composing cylinder. 1t
is this cylinder and its wheels and it's
teeth, located in the upper part of the
machine, which constitute the func-
tional secret of the latter. In conjunc-
ton with the large exterior wheel,
which revolves against the outside wall
on the right side of the apparatus, the
mechanism works secretly in the in
terror. On this large wheel are in
scribed the names of the different sta
tions and the prices of the various trips.
When a ticket is desired for given
point the large wheel is set in motion
until the name of the station asked for
comes opposite a small iron point. One
of the buttons corresponding to the
three openings is then pressed, and this
sets the interior machinery in motion,
and in less time than by the old fash
Toned way of stamping, ETC., the ticket
comes out ready to be used. If more
than one ticket for the same place is
desired, continue to press the button
as many times as there are tickets
needed.
While the machine is delivering the
tickets asked for the same are being
mysteriously registered in the interior
of the apparatus. An endless band mn-
rolls from the top of the apparatus
and registers simultaneously with the
delivery of the ticket, its number, its
series, its destination and price.
By means of this new machine an in
spector need only present himself at the
ticket Office, uuroll the registering band
and say to the ticket seller: "You
should have so and so in hand"
The railroad companies of the north
and west in France have adopted the
new apparatus, and gradually all the
roads running out of Paris are using
them. of course for American use the
machine would be less complicated, ow-
ing to the fact that we have no first,
second and third-class tickets.

ARRESTED FOR CONTEMPLATING.
Peculiar Crimes Which Attack the Public
Health and Pocketbook.

Isaac Platt and Otto Doerlam are at
present held to bail at Chicago, ILL.,, in
the unusually high sum of $40, 500 after
staying for some time in Jail in default Of
sureties On q charge of counterfeiting
DR.. Williams Pink pills for Pale People
The sum in which the District Attorney
demanded bail shows the importance
which the tribunals attach to the offence
of counterfeiting the medicine of the peo-
Pile. The condemnation at Syracuse, n.
Y, recently, Of the counuerfeiter DR..
Marc uisee, to term in States Prison,
is another instance of the same view
The courts in these cases held that q
medicine having the confidence of the
people to an extent which can tempt to
dishonest imitation has attained an i'm
portance which renders the substitution
for it of unreliable and unauthorized
compounds an offence of a very serious
nature, against which the people have a
right to be protected. The proceedings in
court suggested that the people would not
have gotten into the way of relying upon
a definite medicine for the cure of their
ailments without good cause Therefore,
counterfeit1ng such remedy is not an
offence against the manufacturers of the
genuine goods alone. but against the
public. 1t is an offence against the man
ufacturers because 1t robS them OF the
fruit of their enterprise in making known
the merit of their products and their ex-
penditufeS IN advertising them, for which
large sums are paid to the newspapers
daily. But it is an offence also against
the people-a public offence, for unless
the confidence of the public in genuine
product has been justly earned, 1t would
be folly advertising it. Hence the sub
stitution of counterfeits is an offence
against the Commonwealth, and Gas the
courts have heidi, righteously punish
able by imprisonment and heavy fine.
1t was shown that it is the Importance
of medicine that creates temptation to
this crime; no one oounterfe1ts poor
medicine. 1t IS a gratifying fact that
fraud to the extent of straight counter
feiting, is very rare; the druggists of the
country are too honorable a class of men
to involve themselves in such dubious
methods, and the people are right in pro.
tecting themselves by obtaining their
medicines from trustworthy dealers, and
by taking pains to have the genuineness
of their purchase placed beyond doubt by
seeing the correct, advertised name( as
for instance, the full, unabbreviated
title, like DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People) engraved on the package
they buy. The public nowadays refuses
to listen to the sort of talk occasionally
offered to the unwary about something
else just as good,'' which always means
fake" medicine gotten up to deceive
thinks foolish enough to believe such pre-
tence. Fortunately, DR.. Marquisee was
arrested sbefore he had sold single box
of his counterfeit pills, and the Chicago
gang were caught after they had been at
work for four days, and all the spurious
pills were seized and Withdrawn from the
market.
