When. hush! through the aisles of the
Down the slope of the grassy dell

It's the voice of the Vesper bell.

Gray-green with its birch and moss:
And the Indian women kneel and make
The sign of the Holy Cross.
For here. on the skirts of the village,
The koussinoc mission stands;
The Chapel of the Assumption built
BY Father Gabriel's hands.
Here in the cool of the morning.
The Father the Mass doth say;
Hitler the koussinoc chieftains come
In the twilight dusk to pray.
And the gentle face OF the Father
With a aoly radiance smiles,
As the slow professional passes down
Through the gloom of the forest -aisles
The Indian lads in their cassocks.
Follow their leader grave;
And chanting their simple litany,
kneel down in the narrow nave
The hand of the boyish acolyte
The balm of the censor swings.
And the famished souls of the women
share
The feast of heavenly things.
They bring their gifts OF the grasses
Woven in colors bright
A sirdle of precious wampum hung
Ina fringe of black and white:
A rosary carved from the sea pearls she'll
For the holy Mothers breast;
And the royal robes of the martens fur
Whereon her feet may rest.
And the eyes of the Mother Mary
Look down with a glow divine.

Where the altar-candles shine.

Lifts his blue-veined hands to bless,
Those marvellous miracle working hands.
In the heart of the wilderness.
With his people, he dwells like father;
He asks not bread nor wine;
But shares their food-yea. starves with
them,
For the sake of the life divine.
BY the blaze of the round hearth fires.
He counselS the old and young;
The musical. unknown accents
OF the ancient Indian tongue.
He learns by the gift of miracle
While the dusky converts say:
AVE Marie in reVerent tones.
AS they kneel on the sod TO pray.
The Father follows their marches
Through the swamp or the river-bed;
To the sick. he comes with healing;
With Il prayer, he leaves the dead;
With the Mass and the holy water,
He brightens the toilsome road;
And the balm of his conservation
Makes easier every load.
From the dew and the water of heaven,
Spring blossoms of joy untold;
And the cross of the heaviest iron.
TO him. is a cross of gold.
O black-robed servant of Jesus.
Thy deeds through the mists still shine.
What wonder the hearts of the Indian
braves
Were touched with life like thine.
With the years of untold devotion,
Tho labors without surceaSe
The lessons which babe them love their

And live with their foes in peace.

CHASED BY A WILDCAT.
A Fayette County Man Has Thrilling
Adventure.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Aug. 21.-While
driving through forest along the
Monongahela river last night Lewis
Honsaker, of Masontown, had an cx-
citing adventure with catamount,
which pursued him some distance. and
which he slew with his revolver. The
animal was perched in the boughs of
a tree, and as Honsaker drove by it
sprang at him with a fierce scream.
1t alighted close to the horses, which
became frightened and started down
the road heller SHELTER.
The catamouut followed at full
speed, biting and gnawing at the
horses heels, which only increased
their fright and fastened their gait.
Honsaker struck the animal several
heavy l..o,s with his whip, and it
turned upon him and tried to leap
into the buggy, but he fought it off.
AS it ran along the road it gnawed at
the wheels, tearing off great splinters
with its teeth. The leather buggy
top was torn to shreds by the brute,
which tried to jump into the buggy
from the back after Honsaker had
fired one bullet at it, wounding it
slightly. A second shot crippled it
SO it could not walk, and the third
bullet from the plucky drivers gun
brought it to the ground, and it died
in a few minutes.
Honsaker loaded his game into the
buggy and brought it to Masontown,
where he has it on exhibition. 1t is
now stated that many farmers have
seen the brute frequently within the
last month or SO, and it is credited with
having killed many sheep and calves
along the Monongahela.

COAL GOES ABROAD.
Foreign Markets For West Virginia
Products.

While the coal operators of the
country are hustling for trade in
markets that are crowded with an
over reproduction of coal, Senator FL
kins and his associates, with shrewd
business foresight, are hunting
abroad for market for their coal
and coke.
For some time they have been
shipping coal TO Mexico and recent
ly Mr.. II. G. Buxton, one Of the rep
resentatives of the companies along
the West Virginia Central railroad,
has been TO Europe introducing the
West Virginia coal. He has just re
turned, bringing with him several
large orders for coal and promises Of
many more little later. The excel
lent quality Of the West Virginia
Goals was commented upon most fay-
orably by the men whom Mr.. Buxton
met abroad, and it is confidently ex.
pected that his visit will result in a
large foreign trade for West Virgin.

Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Elkins and their

and Captain Cordera De Graea, of

the mines along the West Virginia
Central railroad, and also in the vi
entity of Fairmont, with view to
opening up market for our Goals

There is only one way to cure Deaf

inflamed condition Of the mucous lin

this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed Deaf

Illumination can be taken out and this

Is Life Worth Liyings

Ii there is an individual on earth
who is excusable for thus interroga-
ting himself, il is the unhappy NOR
tai who suffers from malaria in one of
its diabolical forms. This is no difficult
conundrum, however. Life is worth
living by any man or woman who en-
joys good health, and is not harrassed
by reproachful conscience. The
malarial scourge, heavily laid on, is
a terrible one for the poor sufferer to
endure. A series OF freezings, scorch-
inge and sweats-the last leaving one
as limp and as strengthless as dish
rag, are hard indeed, recurring as they
do with flendish regularity. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is the world
wide known preventive and curative
of this class of maladies, either in the
form of ague and fever, bilious remit
tent, dumb ague and aguc cake. Used
with persistence they will, rely upon
It, eradicate disease from the system.
They also conquer rheumatism, kid
ney and bladder complaints, nervous
ness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and
constipation, and renew falling
strength.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.

DR.. F. Ziegfeld, president. of til
Chicago musical college, calls the at
tention of THE Optic to the fact thai
in every community there are many
who possess musical or dramatic abili
ty, but who are unable to pay for in
struction. With a view to developing
this latent talent, and assisting tho
deserving, the Chicago musical college
has for many years past issued a num-
Der of free and partial scholarships.
For the season of 1S97-1898, 1926
scholarships will be given twenty-f five
free and 100 partial. 1t is not Gees
sary to add that this offer is made in
good faith, and that every scholarship
will positively be awarded.
These scholarships are awarded by
competitive examination but if anyone
worthy of the assistance will mako the
fact known to Miss Olive Optic, the
faculty will grant one partial scholar
ship on her recommendation without
examination. This will not debar the
applicant from competing for a free
scholarship. II desired, application
blanks will be mailed to Miss Olive SO
that students may obtain them at this
Office.
