cried the general. "He s risking his life
for couple OF old idiots like us. He's
got heroic blood. Two of his great
grandfathers fought in the Revolution.
airy war. Yes, remarkable Incident
I'm proud of him; but blood will tell.
He's q good fellow" quavered the
professor humbly. "He's got Venus in
A-quarius-great love for the people"
"Confound Venus in Aquariusl''
growled the general sayagely, and the
professor sank into detected silence.
The boat now bumped against the
| rock. Cuthbert Ogden steadied it while
1 the two men clambered in. Then the
general seized one of the oars, and he
and Cuthbert begap the struggle of the
| return trip. When land was nearly
reached, the boat oapsized, and in the
embrace of a monstrous billow the three
came ingloriously to shore.
Mr.. Baxter and Jack Armitage were
there and from the blaze of light on
the piazza looked out anxious women's
faces. ButTdown upon the beach in all
the storm woman wrapped in dark
mantle swung lantern to guide the
seafarers. AS the exhausted trio gained
the shore the professor saw this woman
"a Sagittarius woman-slip her arm
through Curhbert Ogden's with cry Of
thankfulness, and he stopped and kissed
her there and then in the midst of all
the wind, rain, thunder, lightning and
dreadful tempest and in the presence Of
the entire Baxter household. In that
supreme moment the conventionalities
f>life slipped cable, and they deli
ciously lost cognizanoe of things pres
ent and things to come.
An hour later the storm had died
away like the uncertain, temper of a
spoiled child and fine young moon,
was struggling with few white clouds
with manifest victory. In the Baxter
household order had come out of eonfu.

Mrs Baxter laughed. She could at.
ford to laugh, for the cook and waitress
had promised to remain and were to
have their fortunes told by the professor
that very evening
Later Mr.. Baxter approached his
wife. q twinkle in his eye. 1.-THE gen.

| The professor held one out In danny
fingers, The general took off his coat,
touched the match to it, and then, fling
ing the blazing garment over his walk
ing stick, waved it to and fro until
dash of rain extinguished the flames.
The storm was now full upon them.
Embracing narrow point of rock, and
buffeted by the storm in one direction
Fand !ashed by the sea in another, they
were prone to be silent for many min
utes. At last the generals voice could
be heard uplifted in anathemas upon
the peninsula and everybody ON it; next
he blamed himself for having come
there; then with rising infection and
stronger explosives he spoke of solar
biology in terms which left the pro.
lessor no room for hope that even if
they escaped any Of his fortune would
be given for the extension of learning
along this line. Meanwhile the tide
orept up. They were half submerged.
Presently the generals voice was heard
again.
ut isn't that I'm afraid to die" he
shrieked above the storm; 'it's the abb
surd situation-men at our time Of life
falling into trap like this. A man
who has faced shot and shell as have

gasped the professor, who was shivering
with cold and fright, "but I've always

cried. "Saw it by flash Of lightning.

above the storm. The little boat, tossed
like leaf in the wind, came nearer.

The professor was quite pale. He was
far from being really bad at heart, and
though he had sought to deprive the
young man in question of his sweet
heart he had not intended to ruin his
tntire career. Agitated by murmurings
OF conscience. he began to plead for his

A SAVAGE BULL.

Henry j Sage came near a tragic end last
week Thursday. He and his hired man,
Waylon Newell, went into the pasture to put
in some stock, when Mr.. Sage's bull made
for him, taking him in the stomach, knock
ing him down and leaving him breathless
Then the bull turned to finish his work and
would have done SO quickly but Mr.. Newell
made for him, taking his attention from
Sage, when he made for Newell. Mr.. Newell
kept him at bay the best he could until Mr..
Sage came to himself and made out of the
pasture, when Newell ran the best he could
and sprang over the fence, but none too soon
for before his feet struck the ground, the bull
came against the fence with power We are
glad to report thBt Mr.. Sage was not very
badly hurt but if Mr.. Newell had not been
present, it would have been the last of Henry
Sage. He got james Coleman to shoot the
bull that day.

1t is estimated that from 100000, 900
to $3.50, 100000 will be taken into the
Klondike country during the present
year, and it is problem how much OF
it will be brought out. This estimate is
upon the expectation that from 200, ,OOO
to 800, 900 people will start for the gold
regions, and that each Of them will take
an average of $1,000, which is very
moderate and probably less than the
amount. Forty.two steamers and
twenty.tour sailing crafts are now en-

THE POLITICAL PENDULUM.

The following was taken from the
Cleveland Recorder:
"The remarkable change that has taken
place in the sentiment of the people in
political matters since 1896 is set forth
in the strongest way possible by the re-
suit of the recent town elections in New
York state.
ain twenty FIVE counties in that state
the Democrats have made total gain of
70 supervisors and the Republicans
have made total gain of three, which
leaves the net gain to the Democrats 75.
"In all the cases the issue was clearly
made. The drift of hubble sentiment can
therefore, be accurately calculated. Of
course there is an attempt made to at.
tribute this to local conditions. The
papers which are frightened at it de-
clare that it is the result of the two
years Platt Black-Psyn administration
at Albany. That undoubtedly has some
thing to do with it, but it is not by any
means sufficient to account for the re.
marksble revolution in sentiment, and,
besides, the same thing is going on in
other states where Platt is only known
as a name and where Black is unheard
of and Payn means nothing.

the United States are waking up to the
gigantic size Of the swindle that was
practiced upon them in 1896 by the
claim OF prosperity, and the promise Of
good times, They see clearly that the
whole thing was simply an attempt by
shrewd but exceedingly cheap bunCo
game 10 get into Office and to take pos.
session of the national patronage.
"The cry of mckinley and prosper
ity" sounds exceedingly hollow now,
There is nothing in it but an echo. The
people see now that Hanna backed uI
by the money of the plutocrats captured
the government. They see that all the
moves have been made for the last
twenty years by both the Cleveland
Democrats and the plutocratic Republic

making money scarce and dear so tha
those who have it may charge exorbi
tant rates of interest and enslave the
common man. The revolt that is com
ing against all this is only now showing
its head. 1t makes little difference
where there are leaders or not there vii
be votes. Those votes will make them
selves felt first this fall when thu
present Czar Reed congress will be re
tired to private life. 1t will be furthe
felt in 1900 when the whole fraud outti
that came into power, promising tina
workingmen should have better wage
and the mills should grind, will be swep
to oblivion and disgrace"

ANSWER 1T HONESTLY.
Are the Opinions Of Canton Citizens
Not More Reliable Than Those
of Utter Strangers.

The above is vital question.
1t is fraught with interest to Canton.
1t permits of only one answer.
1t can't be evaded or ignored.
A Canton citizen speaks here.
Speaks from experience and ConviC-
ton,
Speaks for the welfare of Canton.
A Ci izen's opinion is reliable,
An utter strangers doubtful.

these facts.

to bend the back. would have bad
spells that would last for 10 days. They
would come on me in minute. One

caused it, at another | was carrying a
| box of plants. Accompanying it there
was q urinary weakness particularly OBJ
servable at night, 1t is the most indes,
cribable and distressing feeling to have

to be constantly aware that false step
or jerk or twist brings punishment,

mended remedies trying to check it ol
