What He Dreaded Was With Him No
Matter Where He Fled.
The shades Of night were just being
pulled down! Out of a house there
dashed a man whose pale face and the
wild, hunted look boarding in the vast
ly depths of his eye betokened a soul
possessed by some awful fear that, Ban
quolike, would not down. Madly leap
ing into the air he spun around several
times and then shot off at a tangent.
Several hours later he was 30 miles
from the cursed haunts of men. A great,
dark wood was all about him, gloomy,
impenetrable, terrifying in it's somber
silence, and yet the man seemed to feel
nothing but joy in his lone surround
ings, for his caperings would have been
gr~otesque but for the tense earnestness
that actuated his every movement. At
last, when the violence Of his joy had
abated, he applied himself to the collec-
ton Of fagots.
II will build a great firel' he said.
"In such way will I show my gratitude
for de%liverance, for surely here I am
safe from the torture that so long has
beset mel"
Disturbed by his clarion tones a great
owl in a nearby tree voiced it's com.
~plainings to the night.

"Merciful h%eavens!" shrieked the
man, falling to the ground and frothing
at the mouth. "Even the birds! Even
the birds! All, is there no place in this
world where I may be free from Scotch

He Was Averse to Troy Weight.

The highest grade of negro is the pri-
vate car porter. 1t was such a negro,
young and with many fine mannerisms
and some money, who decided to take a
trip to Europe. In London he made the
acquaintance Of several English bred
negroes. By these he was shown the
sights and introduced into society. One
evening he was invited to "sit in a
little poker game. He vas we'll &C.
quainted with the game as played al
home, and did not hesitate to play. His
limited acquaintance with English
money cost him several good pots. Al
last he got four aces and knew exactly
where he was, for four aces have theil
value the world over. His opponent
skinned his hand carefully after cards
had been "doled" and said:
"Ah'll just bet you 81, Mistah John

Mind Reading.

The really extraordinary performances
of mind readers of celebrity astound all
who witness them, Scientists cannot
explain them. Hamlet exclaims, "There
are more things in heaven n EARTH
Horatio, than are dreamt OF in tiny,
philosophy" The wonderful feats OF
the mind reader are strongly corrobora-
tive of this. But the reason OF the
beneficent effects of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters in cases of dyspepsia, malaria,
rheumatism, biliousness, nervousness
and kidney and bladder complaint, does
not require and will not provoke IN
vestigation. We know that the medicine
does effect thorough cures in obstinate
cases, that it does prevent the diseases
to which it is adapted. Used with
persistencv it will re-establish health.

"Speakin Nv mean men," observed
the man from Coyote Prairie, "allus

who used ter run a milk wagon over ter

"Sold chalk and water for milk, did

Hardly. Ketch Peter spendin money

Them wigglers hadn't churned that milk
as slick as a whistle an wal a.cruisin
round on a lump NV butter as big as a

Not a bit. He sold the butter, delivered
the milk ter his customers an didn't do

Origin Of the Cake Walk.

Tho cake walk proper had its origin
among the French negroes of Louisiana
more than q century ago, says an ex-
change. There is little doubt that 1t Is an
offshoot Of some Of the old French country
dances. 1t resembles several of them IN
form. From New Orleans it spread over
the entire south and thence to the north.
1t was found of convenience to the planta-
ton negroes. They We're not welded by
license, and it was seldom that the services
of a preacher were called in. At q cake
walk o man might legitimately show his
preference for a woman and thus publicly
claim her for a wife. In effect the cake
walk was not different from the old Scotch
marriage, which required only public &C
Acknowledgement from the contracting par
ties. So this festival became in some sense
a wooing, an acceptance or rejection and
a ceremony. This explains Its popularity
with the blacks outside of its beauties,
with the accompaniment of music, which

Bad management keeps more people in
poor circumstances than any other one
cause. To be successful one must look
ahead and plan ahead so that when a
favorable opportunity presents itself he
is ready to take advantage of it. A lit
tie forethought will also save much-ex-
pense and valuable time. A prudent
and careful man will keep a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy in the house, the shiftless
fellow will wait until necessity compels
it and then ruin his best horse going for

pay, besides; n pays out 25 cents, the

wonders why his n%eighbor is getting
richer while he is getting poorer. For

A murder was committed just after Re

Said Mr.. Bullock:

The negro was barber from Sioux City,
and he came to Montana hunting trouble.
I had the county SO well organized at

try these men. They were convicted and
sentenced to be hanged. Taking life Nv
order of the court was a novelty an He
lena, and the people gathered by thousands
to see the hanging.
Z Shortly before the hour set for the ex-

the negro followed his white companion

The Battlefield.
William Cullen Bryant

William Cullen Bryant.
Once this soft turf, this rivulets sands,
Were trampled by hurrying crowd,
And fiery hearts and armed hands
Encountered in the battle cloud.
All, never shall the land forget
How gushed the life blood of her brave
Gushed warm with hope and courage yet,
Upon the soil they fought to save.
Now all is calm and fresh and still:
Alone the chirp of fitting bird,
And talk of children on the hill,
And bell of wandering kline, are heard.
No solemn host goes trailing by
The black mouthed gun and staggering
vain;
Men start not at the battle cry
o, be it never heard againI
Soon rested those who fought; but thou
Who minglest in the harder strife
For truths which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life.
A friendless warfarel lingering long
Through weary day and weary year;
A wild and many weaponed throng
Hang on thy front and flank and rear.
And blench not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof,
The sage may frown-yet faint thou not
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast,
The foul and kissing bolt of scorn;
For with thy side shall dwell "a last,
The victory of endurance born.
Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again.
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error, wounded, writhes in pain.
And dies among his worshippers,
Yea, though thou lie upon the dust.
When they who helped thee fec in fear,
Die full of hope and manly trust,
Like those who fell in battle here!
Another hand thy sword shall WELD,
Another hand the standard wave.
Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealed
The blast of Triumph DER thy grave.

Some of the rich folks are making them
selves known to the public by their gifts
to assist in carrying on the war against
Spain. We have called attention to the
gift 10 the government of several steam
yachts and to the announcement of mil
lionaires who propose to equip regiments
or batteries at their own expense. The
only woman who has thus far come for-
ward with a notable gift is Mrs. Celia Wal
lace of Chicago. Mrs. Wallace is reported
to be a very wealthy woman. She has
figured in the newspapers as the owner of
diamonds. rubies, sapphires, amethysts
and pearls worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars. On one occasion she appeared
at the opera in Chicago wearing a dress
said to have cost $4,000
Mrs. Wallace has a villa at St. Angus
to the Illinois volunteers for hospital pur-
poses Gov. Tanner of Illinois calls it "a
royal gift"
1t is not by any means certain, how
ever that the villa can be used to advant-
age. Mrs Wallace seems to have the idea
that the Illinois volunteers are going to
do some lighting in Florida. There may
he a chance for them TO get wounds or
the fever in Cuba but in that event they
would likely be taken further North than
st. Augustine. if they should leave Cuba
before recovering sufficiently TO be beyond
the need of the hospital attention.
Still it must be admitted that Mrs. wal
lace has shown commendable generosity
in donating her st. Augustine house to
the volunteers of her state. They may
never have an opportunity to use it, but
for all that they will feel grateful to her
for setting aside some Of her properly for
their benefit.
