LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
FOUNDED ON FACT.

Fifty years ago there might have
been seen in the village of Greensburg
an illiterate boy of the age Of twelve
years strolling over the hills and val
leys adjacentto the little hamlet named
above; poorly clad, rough featured
and accompanied by two ever faithful
dogs, which Alfred Robertson cared
for more than any other living creature.
He was in the very height Of enjoy.
ment when he could be chasing squir-
rels or rabbits. His father, the village
blacksmith, would frequently chastise
him on his return from his sport with
his dogs; but ALI continued on in the
even tenor of his way. The enjoy
ment was of such character that APP
parently life to him would not be worth
living withoutit. His father continued
to demonstrate roughly with him,
while his dear old mother would plead
tor and sympathize with him. Many
times she would smooth his rough,
bushy hair with her hand and re-
mark, "Alf will make good man if
he lives, for I know his disposition.
There are some bad traits he is guilty of,
but the good ones are in the majority,
and | will trust in God, and pray that
he will assist me in eradicating from
my boy, every thing that's evil" She
was a Christian mother and many
times she and ALI could be seen kneel-
ing at one chair, when she would offer
up her petitions to the Throne of
Grace in behalf oil her boy.
-Four years passed by and ALT enter
ed school adjoining Saint Paul's
Lutheran church, which was consumed
by fire years ago. He was very large
for his age and attracted the attention
ofall the scholars. Some Of the younger
inmates of the school expected much
assistance from ALI in arithmetic and
other branches, but imagine their sur
prise when they learned that he was
illiterate. Several young ladies, in
sympathy with the new scholar, re-
marked, What pity for poor ALT
that he has no education. Now be

sessed of considerable self-respect, as
well as warm heart that often throb-
bed for others woes, and was not long
in sizing up the situation and ARRIVING
at the conclusion that if education was
to be obtained, he would not neglect
his part. Suffice it to say at the end
of the school term he stood proudly at
the head of the class. His bushy hair
had been cropped off and the omband
brush were frequently applied. His
features were undergoing change as
well as the wearing apparel. The
future was getting brighter and Aft
was fast becoming favorite in female
as we'll as male society. He was de-
veloping into manhood. Up to this
time he was to some extent ignorant
Of love, except the love he bestowed
on his dogs, but this, like the seasons
Of the year must change.
May, ALT was requested by neighbor
to accompany him to see near rela-
tive. Imagine his surprise when he
was ushered into the parlor and intro
duced to young lady whom at first
sight he thought was the loveliest be-
ing on earth. In his mind even the
angels were no comparison to her.

There is someone to live for. have
always put my trust in God and my

it would be very low charactered

Exposure to Disease

Does not necessarily mean the con-
traction of disease provided the sys-
tenn is in a vigorous condition, with
the blood pure and all the organs in
healthy action. When in such con-
dition contagion is readily resisted
and the disease germs can find no
lodgment. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
best medicine to build up the system
because it makes pure, rich blood,
and pure blood is the basis of good
health. In cold weather it is espe-
cially necessary to keep up the health
tone because the body is subject to
greater exposure and more liable to
disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
safeguard of health.

ton of the local Democratic machines
to thrust into the background the prin-

ocracy in 1886. He recommends that
the flag under which the Democrats
fought a year ago, and which attracted
the support of more than 100000 yot-
ers, be set at the masthead and kept
there throughout the battle for control
of the greater city of New York.
He calls attention to the fact that
another fight for the control of the
federal government will soon be here
and wonders what the position OF those
Democrats will be, who through a mis-
taken idea. deserted those principles
for which they loudly clamored a few
months ago. He wants all the Demo-
Gratis who were loyal last year to be
loyal this year. He says that loyalty
cannot be shown by deserving the plat

There was a large list of appoint

Among them was the second Office that

the successful candidate, is believed
here to owe his nomination most largely
to the favor of Glen Miller, the new
United States marshal, who gives sign
of becoming the great political boss in
Utah, as the immediate representative
of the administration This nominal
ton is, however, less significant as de-
ternlintng what element will finally
control the Utah nominations than Will
he the selection Of the new district at

such vigorous contest over this Office
as that which has been pending for
