THE MODERN HIAWATHA.

Adapted to Football as She is played.
AS the crowd sat in the grand stand,
Shivering i'll tn Indictment weather,
Sat there with their noses reddenng,
Sat with eyes grown bear and misty,
Suddenly the gates were opened,
And with tread ike conquering heroes
Home returning from some conflict,
Waged on battlefield afar off,
Marched the athletes on the gridiron.
Big and husky fellows were they,
Tall, erect, broad-shouldered fellows;
Men with muscles like LAGOON,
He who wrestled with the serpents
CAS- so many have since them,
Turned they 70 the crowded grand stand,
Dotted their caps and bowed, responding
To the greetings long and noisy
From the throats OF fellow students,
From fhe fair young debutantes,
From the veteran campaigncrs,
Even from the grave professors,
The d. DIS, IL. DIS, A. Ms.
From the doctors and the lawyers,
From the solid men OF business.
Then they threw aside their wrappinGs
Tossed into the air their sweaters,
Took their places on the gr;diron
And prepared to punch the pigskin.

Human Ingenuity.

Certainly, for the mechanic, human
ingenuity has never produced a better
liniment than Salvation Oil,which now
stands unexcelled for curing his sprains
and bruises caused by fall; or cuts
and wounds the result of an accident
with his tool or saw. Salvation Oil al
ways kills pain. "Reccntly, I fell
about twenty feet and was very much
bruised on my leg and side, but after
bathing them with Salvation Oil the
bruises soon disappeared. I think SAL
walton Oil is just the thing for sores
and bruises" A. Jacob Rice, $40
Church ST., Easton, Pa. Salvation Oil
may be bought anywhere for IS cents.
Substitutes offered by dealers may cost
less; hence, do less. Salvation Oil,
however, never disappoints the user.

BOOGY MEN TO SCARE CHILD
rem,
(Aforganton Herald.)

The Caucasian has discovered deep
laid plot on the part of some unnamed
Democrats of this State to abandon the
money and monopoly questions in the
campaign OF 1900. The youthful Senator
should keep his boogy-men in the cup
board to brighten children. The strength
of a party which would abandon silver,
financial reforms, and abuse of judicial
power in 1900 may be judged by cas-
ual glance at the vote given Palmer
and Buckner last year.

CAST THY BREAD UPON THE

Cast thy bread upon the waters;
Help the needy while you may:
Sow the seeds of sweet salvation
AS YOU journey on your way:
Tell the sweet the loving story
Or the cross the Savior bore,
That we all might Eve in glory,
And he blest foreyermore.
Cast thy bread upon the waters;
Let the heather nations know
That the Saviour died to shield them
From eternal death and woe;
Tell them of the crowns of glory
The redeemed ones all shall wear;
Toll them of the cloriors anthems
Which the Angels "sing up there"
Cast thy bread l1non the waters:
Gospel waves shall hear it on;
1t may soon return with blessings,
Or delav till you are gone:
But as sure as night brings darkness,
Or tie morning briggs the light,

SAVED BIZ HIS DOG.

Intelligent Canine Dug His Master out
of q Cavern.
Henry Miller came as near losing his
life near Greggs. Ill, this fall as a man
could and still escape, and it was only
owing to the sagacity Of his dog that
he ecaped death. says an exchange.
Miller went out one morning in
search of nuts, taking his dog with
him. When he alighted from the train
he proceeded to a walnut grove two
miles south of Greggs.
After filling his sack he espied a
woodchuck on a neighboring side hill
and, shooting at it, ran it into its hole.
Leaving his dog on guard he went to
the house of Jacob Meyer, a mile dis
tant, and borrowed a shovel with
which to dig the animal from its bur-
row.
Miller soon dug deep pit in the side
OF the hill, when suddenly a portion
of the overhanging bank gave way and
buried him under a half ton of gravel.
Fortunately his face was not COW
cred and he was able to breathe, but
he was so weighted down it was i'm
possible to move a muscle. He shouted
for aid until he was hoarse and was
about to give up in despair when he
thought Of his dog. Calling the faith
full beast, he babe him dig. The dog
seemed p comprehend and scratched
gravel so zealously that at the end OF
half an hour Miller was able to move
one arm and coon succeeded in escap-
ing from his position.
He was so thoroughly frightened he
took the first train back to the city
Before leaving he refused an offer OF
$50 for the dog.

discovery of q trail. 1t was not long
delayed, for gray foxes are almost az

which, ringing out on the air Of q

Low the Queen Was rold San. pa.,.
A Well-known monarch, who. for OBJ
vious reasons, We will call the king of
huritania, does not approve OF ladies'
cycling says the GentIeyoman. Bis
daughter greatly enjoys the healthy
exercise Of spinning along the roads
OF her fathers dominion. She was In
the habit OF rising early and going out
before breakfast. Unfortunately her
royal papa met her and her suite one
morning and he was 50 angry that all
the suite were well scolded and the
princess herss'f was kept In the palace
for three weeks and was not permitted
to attend any Of the court festivities for
the following month. The queen OF Ru-
ritania agrees with her royoal husband
In his dislike for cycling, and very strin-
gent court rules have been advertised,
closing many paths and 'thoroughfares
to the ever-whirling wheel. One day
her majesty was walking out with her
dogs when q cyclist came along one of
the shady alleys near the palace. The
indignant queen stopped the cyclist
and informed him that bicycles were
not permitted near the royal abode
The cyclist, who must have been an
ill-bred churl, then proceeded to expos
tulate, garnishing his language with
sundry words such as in England are
usually represented by the fourth let
ter Of the alphabet and a dash. The
bewildered queen started in astonish-
ment, and her lady-in-waiting, coming
up opportunity (for she had fingered
behind to gather some flowers at her
majesty's reques0 asked the rude BIZ
cyclist II he knew he was addressing
the sovereign lady of his country. The
abashe6 cyclist was so overwhelmed
at this information that he said not a
word but mounted his bicycle and fed
away, and, report says. never stayed
his wheel till he reached-let us say
the capital Of the adjoining kingdom.

REFLECTIONS IN A CHAPEL.

Large Brass Cross which Serves rs .
Mirror.
Recently the governor Of one Of our
county prisons was greatly perplexed
by the discovery that the female Grim
inals in his charge managed in some
mysterious manner to ascertain the
presence of every individual man on
the other side Of the impervious divid-
ing barrier which separates the male
from the female worshipers in the jail
chanel. says the London Hospital.
One of the women inadvertently made
an exclamation, showing that she had
suddenly become aware that her hus-
hand was within the same walls, al
though his presence ought, according
TO the rules, TO have been completely
unknown to her. None Of the officers
could account for an unpernitted
knowledge which was found to be
shared by all other women. At last q
yarv careful examination Of the chapel
rave an explanation Of the mystery.
Although strictly divided, as we have
said. both the male and the female
prisoners faced the altar In their seats
and over it had been fixed a very large
brass cross against the wall, 80 highly
polished as to form very good mirror.
and In its clear surface the women saw
the reflection Of every man as he passed
70 his Mace and had enjoyed the spec
tacle with IMMUNITY till the wife's afec-
ton oyercame her discretion. The
hrass cross instantaneously disap-
ueared.
