Why they favor Turkey.

were the gamers and the Greeks the

powerful nations of Europe for Civ

diction Of the Turkish Government,
would be endangered should the Gov

The fall of Turkey would mean that

With the European banker the al

than sentiment or religion. That's
why they favor Turkey.

meeting of the California commandery
of the Military Order of the Loyal Lc-
gion, told the following story about
General Grant. 1t was told years ago to
General Barnes by Captain Richard L.
Ogden, once a clerk in the Office of tn,
United States quartermaster at San
Francisco, and General Barnes recently
copied it from Captain Ogden's diary.
1t was that when Grant resigned his
commission rs captain, ut the age of 32,
being then i'll Oregon, he went to San
Francisco on his way home and present
ed to Captain Ogden a certificate of per
diem service on 4 court martial amount
ing to about $40. The certificate was in
correctly drawn, and Grant with look
of despair asked Captain Ogden's per-
mission to sleep on the lounge in the
latter's office, saying he had not a cent
to his name. He slept OH the rickety
Office lounge, and Ogden agreed to cash
tire certificate personally and to send it
back to Oregon fer connection. Grant
hsd expected to buy passage for himself
to New York in the steerage, but Ogden
went with him to the Pacific Mail
steamship Office and procured for him a
cabin passage pass, or what was the
nearest to it the steamship company
could give, for Grant had to pay his
railroad fare across the isthmus. This,
however, left him $15, and Grant was
very grateful.
The diary quotes him as saying to
Captain Ogden: "This is great luxury
and what did not expect, and am in
debted to you for it. The prospect of
ever being able to reciprocate is GER
tainly remote, but strange things hap
pen in this world, and there is no know

Physicians and specialists on nervous

Held Up and stoned.

Many man has been held up and

the violent phases Of a hold up. Hold.

Indeed, there may be as much hu-

Lemon street in a sundown wagon.
Scholl held the reins. Among those
waiting for the mail was merchant
Bert Hinkle and Jacob Davis, the ef-

& Recorder. Bert said in a general
way, "I'il bet the cigars I can stop
the bloods that are coming down the

and said, "come on Jake" we'll win

LOVE WHICH ASSAILS.

Love, which sails us oft
At glance word,
Strikes home so quick. SO soft,
II II not seen or heard.
Yet shall tEe heart until its dying day
Bear token of the gentle despot's sway.
Love has smiling mien,
Yet II hn stern.
His bolt is shot unseen.
The heart it clcavcs shall burn
And long End wait, and wait ind long again
For lovo to cure where love has given pain.
Love for its conquest needs
A Gag, an hour.
The stricken heart still blccds-
Such is loves power
While year on year shall in procession glide.
Still seckin: love and scorning all beside.
Loves cruclties we know
All We who live.
Yet seek for nothing so
As that the god may give
To us his pleasure. pain and honey gall.
Lacking which gifts we lack life's best of ell.

| A Woman Who Has Learned Entirely by
Careful Listening.
The wonderful development Of certain
! faculties in the cases of persons who
have lost the use of some of their natural
functions, CT Of others whose faculties
have not been fully developed, has long
been n matter Of remark, but it is not
alone the outside observers who apprc-
ciate the provisions of nature for the
benefit Of the unfortunatcs. The suffer
ers themselves often appreciate this full
1y, and in some instances, after years,
grow TO depend so much uICn their ac-
quired faculties as to be afraid of q
change, even if they have Tic chance Of
one.

When this woman was Il child, her
parents lived far from schools, so she

A great world of bugs como in to dis

than thousands of the human family,
that have some folly of a light to buzz
