Sure enough; the silver-mounted har-
ness bore family crest with it's Latin
motto. and could no doubt be identified
anywhere. Certainly this nights an
ticipated spoil was not lucky in any
way.
Next morning the landlord of the inn
was intensely surprised at the disap-
pearance of the travellers and at the
spiriting away of some harness that be-
longed to the young Viscount Dare. He
stood in the stableyard talking with his
hostler. ~; 49, -:
'But for me his lordship's boss would
ha' gone, too," cried the ostler, stolidly.
"When I see one 90 they two gents, a.
poking and peering about here last
night under cover O. the dusk and see
him gazing at the fine animal with hun
cry eyes'and next watched him finger
ing the stable lock, it struck me what
he might be after-the wanting to have
try at changing their own sorry hack
for this one.;, So the last thing at night
before turning in changed the bosses,
putting theirn in the best stable and
t'other here and made him safe with my
bar and paddock, which can't be picked.
And they've just been and gone away

Farmers Institutes.

Mr.. VIM. L. Amoss, director OF
Farmers Institutes for Maryland
has announced his program fol
1899. Morning sessions will be
devoted to the dairy interests and
night to fruit growing. Mr.. Ewd.
Van Aistyne, of New York State,
will lead the discussions at the
morning sessions, and Hon. Geo.
T. Powell, of Columbia county, n.
Y, will be the leader at night.
Maryland, says Mr.. Amoss, is
most fortunately situated, and CON
ditions most favorable for the con-
duct of this class of work, it being
possible to use the best talent in
the world at one of it's meetings,
only necessitating an absence from
duty of a single day, or a day and
night. Therefore Secretary James
Wilson and twenty chiefs and
assistants of the Washington de-
partments have willingly consented
to accept invitations to these meet
ings. The Johns Hopkins Uni
versity has generously responded
and supplied voluntary list of
thirty of the most learned lecturers.
headed by President d. G. Gilman,
who have promised to aid in farm
ers' institute work. Committees
of the two we'll known lady clubs,
the Amndell, of Baltimore, and the
Lend hand, of Mount Washing
ton, have informed the department
that they are desirous of sharing
the opportunities of their respective
organizations with the ladies on the
farms.
This great feast of knowledge is
open to all communities, in the
most remote parts of our Stste, who
will make known their needs to this
department, and will give a gen
erous patronage from the rural
homes at its meetings, and this
without contribution or charge of
admission fee, expenses being
borne by the State.
The Institutes for Cecil county
will be held at Rising Sun Febru-
ary l and 2. Elkton has been
given the go-by, the farmers in that
part Of the county by their non
attendance last year showing their
lack of appreciation or indifference
for the Institute. Alfred Kirk, of
Pennington, is the local Secretary
of the Institute.

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted q physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old.
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which l feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming

Six Years and Six Months.

William Steel, the cashier of
Chestnut Street National Bank at
the time it was wrecked, was sen,
fenced on Tuesday by Judge Butler
to six years and six months in the
Eastern penitentiary.
Eckels, the Comptroller of the
Treasury at the time, knew the
affairs of the bank were not right
but allowed the institution, for
political reasons, to continue bus
mess. If he had his just dues he
should share in the penalty which
others suffer,
After all these incidents like that
cf the Chestnut Street Bank are
numerous and are but the outcrop-
pings of a degenerate, depraved
system of public business that OBJ
tains in the heavy branches of bus
mess. What is Wall street but a
great gambling institution above
the law and cOrrupting the business
morals of the nation?

A Rare Bird.

On December 5, Immediately
after the heavy easterly gale, a
strange bird of the goose family
was killed by John Shippers, OF
Havre de Grace. 1t was shot in a
cove hundred yards from Concord
Point lighthouse. The bird is be-
lieved to be of the Snow Goose
family, and 1t was blown off its
course as no such bird was ever
before seen there. The following
day two more of its kind were seen
in the same vicinity. 1t weighed
four pounds, but was very thin,
and measured four feet four inches
from tip to tip. 1t was light in
shade, yet some of its plumage was
a combination of beautiful colors
and tints, and no doubt it was the
male bird. In the middle of its
white breast it had splOtch of red
feathers which looked like blood.
Its back was covered with various
colored feathers, mostly white,
orange and gray: The bird was
forwarded by Mr.. Walter T. Jack
son to Mr.. f. G. Kirkwood for the
Academy of Sciences, Baltimore.
Mr.. F. g. Kirkwood, who is an
ornithologist and the Secretary Of
Maryland Game and Fish Pro-
tective Association, admitted that
he did not know what the strange
bird was. 1t will he sent to the

Namma Sleeps.

Written for THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
This was the birthday well do remember
The birthdays as they came,
The sweet low voice so full of love, so tender
Each birthday seem'd the same.
The withering blight, the freezing of December
She peacefully passd through;
The soft blue eye each glance was ever tender
And the kind words were true.
A dream of leve, ray of glorious sunshine,
With sweet whispering;
Alas, she passd away in the fair springtime
Fer buds were opening.
The many cares on the frail, faithful mother
Were all SURRENDERED then;
Then sweetly rest, oh gentle, patient mother,
Where grief is ut end.
When all was quiet where the tear drops linger
The true heart ceased to beat,
The darling babe lifting her tiny finger,
Whispered, Hush mamma s'eeps."
Yes, precious babe, thy own dear mamma
sleeping,
With joys her own
Where the sad heart no more is weeping,
Where sorrow is unknown.
Where the dear Saviour wisely gather'd
Her to His throne,
There no more grief, oh, patient mother,
No sorrows come.
Where the dear babe, sister and brother,
In joy may meet;
No more to part from theiI fond mother,
Where mamma s'eeps."

perhaps three months will be even

cilities for handling the increasing
