After the story has once been told
After ones had his little llng
At the world, and found the apples Of gold
Are gilt and rapidly furnishing
After the curtains begin to fall,
Tell me, what is back Of it all
Oh. life is fair at the break OF day,
As the sun climbs up the eastern hill,
And the flowers are sweet along the way
We gather with lavish hands. until
We find the hills grow rugged and steep,
And shadows across the pathway creep.
And life at noontlde is not half bad:
Sure we have learned a lesson or two.
Have bought our experience. gay or sad,
And paid our toll in passing through
The little gate beside which stands
Old Father Time, with outstretched hands
But when the light begins TO wane,
And shadows deepen around our way,
What does iv matter, the loss or gain
What does it count. our work or play?
After the curtain begins to fall.
FELL me, what Is back of it all q?

Cross the street rather than meet that

pale you look. Hide yourself from

the family to whom all childish woes
gravitate to be comforted, all baby
hearts and dolly heads come to be
mendod, while hundred little house
aold chores find you the handiest per-
son in the world to attend to them.
These friends mean, well, but they are
making you grow old and wrinkled.
They are drawing down your mouth
corners. pursing up your lips as II for
martyr fires, training your brows to
worried wrinkles. Put stop to it in

A Queer Wedding.

The oldest house in the township of
New Canaan. Conn, is situated on his
toric Carter street, so called, a high
ridge east OF the village. This is the
house once occupied by the Rev. John
Ellis, the first pastor OF the local Con-
gregational church, which dates back
10 1881. The fame of Brother Ell's wit
promises to last longer than his house,
however well preserved the latter. 1t
was under a window in this house, it is
said, that the minister made use of
the formula also attributed to Dean
Swift, In marrying a couple who ap-.
peared for the ceremony late on o
stormy night. The minister did not
care to rise and dress so late. so he
called the pair under the window and
pronounced this quatrain:
Under this window, in stormy wealth
er,
| join this man and woman together;
Let none but Him who made this thun-
der
Fer part this married pair asunder."
Tradition credits the bridegroom
with as nimble a wit as the parson.
The latter had remarked that 1t was
customary to offer prayer ON such oc-
casions, but, as the thunder storm was
growing violent, he would omit it, as
it was not essential. The bridegroom
must have thought himself sighted by
such an informal ceremony, for he NUT
tered something about its being GUS
tomary 10 ray a dollar on such occa-
sion5, but as it was pretty bad night,
it was not essential; and he dropped
off through the puddles with his bride
under his arm.-Outlook.

when the republican party is menaced by
some of those who have heretofore stood
In the front ranks. 1t seems proper that
every voter who Is loyal to the principles

The contest of 1896 has been renewed all
over the country. If my friend, Mr.. Low,
had been nominated by, and accepted the
nomination of the republican party, on
its patriotic platform, l should, with 9TH

LUETGERT wEPT IN COURT.
The Sausage Man Breaking Down
Under the Great strain.

The Sausage Man Breaking Down
Under the Great strain.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 1S.-The entire day in
the Luetgert trial was taken up by At
torney Phalen. who spoke for the defense.
He made an lmpassioned plea for his eli
eut, accused the police Of intlmidating the
witnesses for the defense, and denounced
many of those who had appeared for the
state as perjurers.
He declared that the chain of circum-
stantial evidence, on which Assistant
States Attorney McEwen had dwelt at so
great length during his address to the
jury, was not a chain of circumstantial
evidence at all, but a fragmentary col
lection of distorted facts. He found flaws
without number in the story furnished by
the state, and declared that no jury COM
posed of sensible men would for q mo-
ment think of returning verdict OF gull
ty on such evidence. He will continue to
speak the greater part of tomorrow aud
will then be followed by Attorney Vincent
for the defense, who will close the argu-
ment in behalf of Luetgert. States Attor-
ney Deneen said to-day that he would not
consume over FIVE hours In his closing ad-
dress for the state on Saturday.
AdOlph l.. Luetgert Shed tears TINS att
ernoon when at the adjournment of court
he took leave of his little sons. Early In
the day Luetgert showed emotion, and his
eyes were moist as Attorney Phalen plead
ed with the jury TO spare his clients life.
Luetgert is breaking down. This was the
universal verdict of those, who have
known and watched the man during the
two months of his trial. The strain upon
him Is great, and at last his nervous sys-
tenn Is weakening. The giant sausage
maker does not sleep well at night OF
late. The near approach Of the date upon
which he will know his fate, has complete
ly upset him by the anxiety 1t has brought
him.
one Of the Incidents of the morning ses-
sion was the appearance In court of Luet-
gerts two little SONS. The lads had not
been in court for several weeks. They
climbed upon their fathers knees and he
fondled them while Attorney Phalen orat-
ed Assistant States Attorney MoEwen
approached Judge Tuthlll and quietly OBJ
jectcd 10 the children being conspicuously
exhibited before the jury. Judge Tuthill
ordered that they be sent to seats removed
from the one occupied by their father.
In a loud tone of voice, ex-Judge Vincent
objected to the removal of the children.
"Oh your object is plain enough and
will not permit it," retorted Judge Tut
hill.
"I note an exception to the remarks oi
the court" said ex-Judge Vincent
''Very well; go on, Mr.. Phalen," ordered
the court.
But the Luetgert children were removed
and will not be allowed to play upon the
sympathles of the Jurors.

His Diagnosis There.
Houston Tex Oct. 13.-The three cases
of so-called yellow fever are getting along
all right.
Police officer Lee, whose attack was
more pronounced, is said to be improving
rapidly.
DIR. Mason and Policeman Fem are
without fever this evening and Mcdonnell
is up and about.
No more suspicious cases have been re-
ported.
The board of health met this morning
and conferred with the advisory board to
visit all suspicious cases and to enforce
health ordinances.
The meeting was quite warm and DR..
Guiteras came in for a liberal amount of
severe criticism on the part of the board.
The Mcdonnell case was discussed a some
length, with the view of showing how
absurd was the diagnosis that pronounced
his case one of yellow fever. 1t was sta
ted that Mcdonnell was up, and DR.. Nc
Elroy, who claims him as his patient, sta
ted to the board that he never had yell
low fever; that he was just Off on de-
bauch, and had the dengue and the rash
incident to it, but from the amount OF
whisky he had been drinking since he had
been diagnosed by DIR. Guiteras as sus-
picious case, precluded the idea that he
had yellow fever.

Which a Local Fighter Is Killed.
New Orleans, Oct. 13-At the opening of
the Tulane Athletic Club last night, an
entertainment for the benefit of INDECENT
fever sufferers, a contest was on between
two local pugilists, Jack Cummings and
Walter Griffin. The fight was of the
whirlwind order from start to finish, and
both men gave and received much pun
ishment. Fifteen rounds were fought, but
before the end of that time both fighters
were in an apparent state of exhaustion,
and physicians and others made efforts
prior to the fifteenth round to bring the
battle to a close.
In the fifteenth round Griffin hit Cum
mings a hard punch and the latter sank
10 the floor He was picked up and car
ried TO his dressing room. He complained
that his head hurt, and asked that he be
laid on his stomach, and became uncon-
scious. Physicians were summoned and
made an examination.
Dr. Bloom, of the Charity hospital said
that the mans injuries were fatal and
that he was suffering with hemorrhage of
the brain, and possibly conclusion. He
was taken to the Hotel Dieu in an ambu-
lance. The best attention was given him,
but at 4:15 a. m. he died.
Griffin was badly punished, but this
forenoon he had recovered sufficiently to
warrant his removal to court
Cummings was a motorman and Griffin
the son of a police ofiicer. The fatal term

to revive boxing interests and may pre-
vent the Mcfarland -Everhardt fight

ORIGINAL PACKAGE CASE.
A Square Issue to he Made in the
South Carolina Courts.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 1S.-In the case Of
the state against l.. l.. Vaughan of An
derson, agent for Bluthentahl & Bickart
of Atlanta, a square issue is to be made
in the state court whether or not liquor
can be sold In original packages.
Judge Buchanan, who is presiding, holds
it to be nonsense that a nonresident can
do what a citizen cannot do that the law
prohibits the sale except by the dispen-
sary, and if the dispensary sales are un-
constitutional, then prohibition exists. OF
course, these views, If carried into eff
feet, will be a direct issue between the
state and federal courts.
