I managed to Just separate the lids,
but it was the acutest torment TO do
so. 1 afterwards found that they had
been horribly burned.
Full sensibility came back very
slowly. For awhile 1 was dazed. T
could not think-only gaze upward
stupidity at the clear sky and wonder
what had happened. Soon, however,
it all came back-all the horror and
pain-and L attempted to start up.
"My God! Tess!" I groaned, as I
realized fully where I was and what
had transpired. But [ found L was
too weak to do anything except barely
move my head.
When 1 could see about me, what
desolate scene it was that met my
blurred and crippled vision. As far
as my poor sight could reach there
was nothing but blacsness, except
overhead landscape in jet silhout-
ted sharply against the soft azure of
the clear sky. A few feet from me
lay the figure of human being! My
Godl 1t was Tessl And was she
dead? Merciful Heavenl About half
of her clothes were gone and she lay
motionless, as though dead.
How I suffered at that sight no one
but myself can ever know. 1t was
worse than my own misery. But I
could not move, and the hot tears, of
which I was not ashamed, distilled
from my eyes like drops of liquid fire
and ploughed red-hos burrows down
my scorched cheeks. And then I
again lapsed into inconsistencies.
Whole ages might have passed be-
fore 1 knew anything more. Then
suddenly I opened my eyes and saw.
I was in bed at home. BY the beside
sat my small sister Jennie.
"You have been sick just three weeks,
Ben," said she, "and 'Tessie' every
one of us said "Tessie" sud not Miss
Mills-''is just able to we,k around"
1t came out afterwards that Tess
had received her worst burn while try
ing to ward off a great blazing branch
from my head, after L had become un-
conscious. Ofcourse, she was lionized
for her bravery-''when I didn't do
anything brave at ALL" she afterwards
said to me, with a bright blush. I
didn't say anything and what did is
scarcely worth recording.
The doctor says will bear no per-
manent evil effects of my adventure
save several deep, ugly sears on my
head and arms.
But when take my youngest boy
on my knee and pour into his never
firing ear, again and again, the story
of my escape from fiery death, and
then look over across the table where
sits my sweet-faced wife, I shudder at
the recollection of that night of horror
and marvel at the strength of true
woman's love. York Ledger.

"It's a great thing to be bright,
isn't it, Nan?" said Bess, on the car,
and was overheard by Washington
Post reporter.
SIT undoubtedly is, my dear. But
what called forth that sage remark?"
''Do you remember Florence Brown,
Of Selma, Kan, who was in our class
at college?"
"Of course I do"
swell, you know that, although a
very pretty and attractive girl, she is
still unmarried, and lately she wrote
to one of the girls that she was rapid
ly approaching that horrible anniver-
sary, her thirtieth birthday, and that
she intended to celebrate it by indulg-
ing in lachrymal below all day.
Her friend was much moved with COM
passion for her lorn condition, and
wrote to thirty of her classmates that
Florence had written her to that effect.
and asked each one to send her q
handkerchief to assist her in the tear
full operation. So, owing to her quick
wit, Florence's thirtieth birthday in
stead of being time of mourning,
proved most joyful occasion, for she
received thirty pretty handkerchiefs,
each inclosed in loving epistle, end
it showed her that her friends loved
her none the less for her thirty years. p"

The insurgent chiefs in the Philip
pines who surrendered to the Spanish
on the promise of safe transport to
Hong Kong knew better than to trust
the mere word of their captors, states
the New York Mail and Express.
Their followers held their pistols at
the head of Spanish "honor" until
word was received of their safe ar.
rival at Hong Kong. 1t is this knowl.
edge of the peridy of the Spanish
character that made utterly hopeless
at the outset all negotiations with the
Cuban insurgents for peace on the
basis of autonomy. Negotiations i'm
ply faith, and there is just as little
faith in Spain as there is just now

WISE WORDS.

The head is more skeptic than the
heart.
Salvation is more than a moral refor-
nation.
The pruned limb is seldom the one
that dies.
He insults his nobler self, who mocks
at prayer.
Only the boor thinks it unmanly to
say 'thank you"
If our eyes were brighter, the stars
would be brighter.
Utilize even the thorns in your path,
but lat for apillow.
A wise mans mistakes are the capi-
tai of his experience.
Disposition IL the mint that coins
our comforts or thajr counterfeits.
Monopoly throws gold dust in the
eyes of politicians, to Blind them.
"To err is human" That is sound
doctrine; nor is it herd to live up to.
Some people are baptized simply to
hear the world say, go, how pious"
Any demagogue can talk patriotism,
but it takes q man to live it and vote
it.
The greatest deeds are done by those
who are the least conscious that they
are great.
The man who will do good as often
as he has opportunity will be busy
every day.
The man who knows nothing except
what he has learned from books, is
poorly educated. RAMS Horn.

Great Britain dependence upon the
United States is yearly becoming more
pronounced. Not only in the purchase
of agricultural and mineral products is
that power bestowing marked favor
upon the American market, but also
in the purchase Of industrial and com.
mercial products. Much has already
been said of the extensive purchases
which Great Britain has recently made
in this market of electrical outfits and
supplies. Within the last five years
the aggregate value of these purchases
has mounted far up into the millions,
and yet larger orders are being re.
ceived from Great Britain at the pres
ent time than ever before. The latest
wrinkle in the trade relations between
Che two countries is set forth in the
following significant paragraph taken
from a recent London dispatch: "Her
Maiesty's stationery office, which sup
plies all the departments. allows COM
mon sense to take precedence over
patriotism. The India Office, which is
the most exclusive and old-fashioned
of them all, grumbleG upon making the
shocking discovery, but of the chiefs
OF the stationery departments an.
swered: whats all this fuss about?
If we can get notepaper in America
better and cheaper than the British
manufacturers can supply, we will
place our orders there" Twenty We
years ago Great Britain would have
hooted at the idea of buying manu-
factured articles in this market. With
the arrogance which her industrial
prestige brought to her she naturally
looked with contempt upon the crude
manufacturing enterprises of the
United States. But times have
changed, and Great Britain is to-day
one of !he most extensive purchasers
of American products. She buys coal,
iron, bread-stuffs, electrical supplies,
cotton, tobacco, paper and numerous
other wares. What splendid begin
ming for the power which once spurned

The CostIiest Bean on Earth.

1t is not generally known that the
vanilla bean is the costliest bean on
earth. 1t grows wild, and is gathered
by the natives in Papantla and Mis-
anita, Mexico. When brought from
the forests these beans are sold, a.
the rate of S11.25 per 1000, but when
dried and cured they cost about ST. 25
per pound. They are mainly used by
druggists, and last year over 80, 000,-
600 oeans were imported into this
country.
