The elephant four hundred years.
The whale one Thousand years,

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severecold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. Ii
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing 1t as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of ham,
berlain's ougb Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
We concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac-
ory in its results, is putting it very
mildly. indeed. It acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon-
mending this excellent ough Remedy to
anyone afflicted with a cough or cold in

GOING HOME.
BY MARGARET e. sANGsTER.

Out of the chill n the shadow
Into the thrill and the shine
Out of the dearth and the famine
Into the fullness divine;
Up from the strife and the battle
loft with the shameful defeat),
Up to the palm and the laurel,
o, but the rest will be sweet!
Leaving the cloud and the tempest.
Reaching the balm and the cheer;
Finding the end of our sorrow,
Finding the end OF our fear;
Seeing the face OF our Master,
Yearned for in "distance and dream"
o, for the rapture of %gladne5s!
o, for that vision supreme
Meeting the dear ones departed,
Knowing them, clasp1ng their hands;
All the beloved and true-hearted,
There in the fairest of lands!
Sin evermore left behind us,
Pain nevermore to distress
Changing the moan for the music;
Living the Saviour to bless.
Why should WE care for the..dying,
That Is but springing to life
Why should we shrink from the struggle,
Pale at he swift closing strife2
Since it is only beyond us,
Scarcely a step and u breath,
All hat dear home of the living,
Guarded by what we call death!
There we shall learn the sweet meanings
Hidden today from our eyes;
There we shall waken like children
Joyous al gifts and surprise.
Come. then, dear Lord, in the cleaning,
Or when the dawnfng is gray,
Take us to dwell in their presence
Only Thyself lead the way.
Out of the chill and the shadow
Into the thrill and the shine;
Out of the dearth and the anime
Int the fullness divine;
Out of the sigh and the silence
Into the d~eep-swelling song;
Out of the exile and bondage
Into the home-gathered throng.

A Righteous Reckoner.

This is the hour of begging frauds
They crop up everywhere, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Their stories
are SO plausible, their appearance $50
pitiful. One of them recently walked
into an East End factory.
"For the love of heaven" he said,
give me a little work to do. Anything
that 1 can turn my hand to-"
The proprietor looked him over. He
was decently dressed, young and intelli.
gent and had evidently seen better days.
II have some work." said the pro-
prietor, ''but it is of a rough sort"
Anything, anything" cried the un.
fortunate man.
So he was set to work sorting bolts,
but be hadn't really started the job when
he was noticed to stagger slightly.
"You must excuse me-" he said
b~rokenly, "but l haven't tasted food fol
twenty-four hours"
Thereupon the proprietor dipped his
hand into his pocket and brought up a
fifty cent piece.
"Take that" he said; "get yourself q
square meal and then come back"
The fellow took it, but he didn't
come back.
A day or two later the victimized mar
told his story to a fellow manufacturer
The latter remembered it when, the very
next morning, a young man came into
his Office and remarked:
"For the love of heaven give me a
little work.
"All right" said the proprietor; stake
off your coat"
Off came the coat and as it was hung
| up the owner worked in the same old
stagger.
81 haven't touched food for twenty
four hours" he gasped.
"That's all right" said the proprietor,
grimly; "you'n get no: food until this
job is finished"
The fellow cast a longing look at his
coat, but it was beyond his reach, so he
went to work. 1t was a hard job, but be
finished it.
"There," said the proprietor, "there's
your coat. You've earned fifty cents,
which l will now enclose in this enve-
lope and send to the man you sw indled
the other day. That's all right-no
thanks-good day."

HOUSE AND CONTENTS BURNED.
Destruction of the Home of Alfred r.
Howard.


Howard.
An alarm was turned in this morning
about 1870 o'clock for fire in the house of
alfred r. Howard, a musician, at No. 453
Delaware avenue southwest. The contents
OF the house were destroyed and the build
ing was also badly damaged
When the fire was first discovered the
flames had gained considerable headway
from the kitchen in the basement, and the
destruction Of the house, as well as of the
adjoining houses. seemed almost unayoid-
able. The fire had started in the kitchen
from some unknown cause, and but a few
minutes after the alarm the blaze was
seen coming out of the upper WIN
dows. When the rear window shutters
lad been burned off their hinges Inc
fires reached to the fences and a closet
in the yard, but the fremen by hard
work prevented the spreading of the flames
to the adjoining property.
Several hundred persons turned out from
their homes and went to the fire. Some of
them made an attempt to save the furni-
ture in the burning house, but the flames
spread SO rapidly that they were unable
to accomplish anything.
Mr.. Howard and his wife were not al
home. The former had played in band at
an entertainment in Northeast Washing
ton and had afterwari gone to a party at
the house of a friend, where he and his
wife remained all night. He returned to his
home about $50 o'clock this morning only
to find that he had lost everything Mrs
Howard iS ali invalid
Mr.. Howard says there was no fire in the
Kitchen when he left the house. and how
1t originated he has not the Slightest idea
on which he had an insurance of several
hundred dollars.
