the sick girl pleaded so hard she
at length yielded and led her into the
house. There, Stella weak and tired

seemed to realize that she had not
long to stay. /" Stella " she said to
her suffering cousin, 81 am soon
going" " Where" she asked, ':you
know dear, and you will not be far
behind" Everything that medicine
and trained nurses and loving hands
could do were fruitless, and Lily's
words were true, alas, and naught OF
earthly claims could hold her gentle
spirit now. When her cousin was
told that she was dead, it was
thought at first the shock would kill
her too, but l believe she is getting
better now. Lilly was always so
quiet and gentle with kind, dark eyes
and pale sweet face from which shone
forth the purity of her Christian
soul. She was a member of the
Methodist Church and the class at
Highland, constant in her devotions,
regular in her church work and con-
sistent in her life, passing away
with a wondrous smile Of heaven on
her lips. In the last few days of her
life, she chung so fervently to her
father whose tavorite she had always
been. She dreaded most to leave him
and could scarce bear him for NOM
ent from her sight, with words OF
loving earnestness she spoke to him
last and pleaded with him to come
to her there when earth should no
more need him. Lily's mission was
fulfilled; her pure young life went
out to God and left behind tender
memory.

Who in her youthful beauty died.

Mrs. Catherine Snyder, of Warsaw.
Indiana, has been proved the rightful
heir of Robert Morris, the Revolution
ary financier.
Every schoolboy has read of Robert
Morris and of his patriotic acts during
the war for American independence.
Besides obtaining large sums from
other sources, the patriot loaned to the
Continental Congress a large part of
his private fortune. The records show
these loans to have aggregated about
100000.
The interest for over century has
swelled this sum to upward OF one
million dollars. This sum, it is ex-
pected, will be paid to Mrs. Snyder,
who is probably the sole heir.
Although Government officials have
kept discreet silence respecting this
fortune, an investigation has been in
progress for years. 1t was known that
Robert Morris had number of chill
dren; that all died without issue ex-
cept James Morris, and that after con-
siderable trouble son was traced to
Middletown, o., where he died about
seventy years ago.
His demise left his two children-a
boy of two and girl Of five years
orphans. The boy was adopted by
family which later went to Western
Kansas or Nebraska, and which cannot
be traced.
Mrs. Snyder is about seventy-five
years OF age. She was born in Middle
town, o., and was early left an orphan.
She was adopted by neighbor, one
John Snyder, who removed to Warsaw
County Here his adopted daughter
grew up almost ignorant of her lineage,
Snyder himself being an ignorant man.
Mrs. Snyder is quiet, kindly, unas-
suming old lady, an earnest Christian
and accustomed to habits of frugality.
Since the publication Of the news of
her luck the mails have been flooded
with letters, mostly from beggars,
though one or two contained offers of
marriage.

An Experts Table Giving the Essential
Points They should Possess.
Capt Benjamin H. Cheever, "the
dandy Of the Dandy Sixth" knows all
that there is to be known about horses.
But Capt. Cheever says that horses
are not Intelligent. "A horse is slave
to habit" he said to a Sunday World
reporter. For brute intelligence the
horse is not to be mentioned with the
dog. There is no comparison. l say
that after twenty-three years close ex-
perience with the horse.
"In selecting cavalry horses for the
service we must have animals that can
be turned into the ranks ready for
work
The nervous, crazy horse is as bad
as the nervous man. He sets every
body by the ears. The worst of it is
that he usually develops these traits
late in life. That is why | recommend
buying horse between five and eight
years old. You can never tell how a
colt is going to pan out. II put to
work too young he is apt to break
q
sential points of good horse:
1. Sound in every particular, wind
and-limb.
2. Short coupled and broad checked
3. Good healthy color, clean limbs
and good coat.
4. Between five and eight years old.
5. Weight between 1000 and LOO
pounds.
6. Between 10 and 151a hands high.
Z. A half-bred is more durable than
a thoroughbred for rough riding.
8. Free from bad habits-neither
nervous nor vicious.
10. An ambitious animal.
Sometimes you may pick up good
horse that weighs less than 1000
pounds, but should prefer not to take
chances The height mentioned gives
a chunky sound horse, that does not
run to legs.
The Government officers who select
cavalry horses think bay the best
color. 1t is more apt to be healthy
and sound. They won't have white
horse at any price. The enemy can see
them at night. ] don't know why peo-
pie who make pictures of generals in

horses. A soldier who expects to get

Does Baby
I hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

SIOUX PARTY CALLS.

Indians Daily Visits to the Stu0iO-
Entertained at Tea.
The Indians have made their party
calls. That is, after the studio tea, to
which the party of nine Sioux gentle
men was invited by Mrs. Gertrude
Kasebier the other day, to have their
pictures taken. In fact, they have
made a great many calls, and the tea
was the beginning of round of festivi-
ties of a mild nature.
1t seems that with Sioux gentlemen
an invitation, or even call without
an invitation, is considered the equiva-
lent to declaration Of friendship for
life, and they do not neglect any of the
amenities.
IF you have had those Indians there
once, they will spend the greater part
of their time with you while they are
around this part of the country" some
after the studio tea.
We'll, let them come" she answered,
stoutly, still remembering her early life
on the plains. Il shall be glad to see
them. "
And they do come, and they are al
ways cordially received. Callers OF
this kind might not be so agreeable in
Il private house, but in a studio it is
somewhat different. and Mrs. Kasebier
and the young women artists who
share the studio with her gaze at their
guests with a feeling of deep artistic
appreciation.
But the gentlemen are by no means
bores Their calls are comparatively
short After staying about half an
hour the one who for the time being
condescends to speak English inquiries
about the time. The hostesses then
know that their callers are about to
leave, and shortly after they depart
with polite good-byes.
The pictures taken were great sue
cess. They were works of art, and,
more than that the Sioux gentlemen,
who cannot be expected to have an
aesthetic appreciation. saw likenesses
with which they were well pleased.
They were so delighted that one Of
them, coming again, insisted in asking
have her picture taken with him. And
she did, with a cup of tea in her hands
and Mr.. WHATEVER His -Name-Hap-
pened-to-Be smiling at her in quite a
civilized fashion. He insisted in wait
ing for a picture, and remarked, in
courteous Indian English:
Want one
But that was one request that was
not granted. Although the picture was
u great success and delight to the
studioites and their confreres, showing
delightful artistic qualities, even Il pic
turesque Sioux gentleman cannot have
everything he wishes, and Mr.. What
-His-Name-H -Happened-to-B did
not even see it,
There was only one of the gentlemen
guests at the studio tea who was not
pleased with the pictures. He was one
OF the older gentlemen. 1t all goes to
show that it is not the very youthful
people or the women who are vain.
The objector was Mr. Iron Tail. Mr..
Iron Tail could not be called. strictly
speaking. beautiful, but he was won
derfully picturesque, with his dark
eoloring and strongly marked face.
The picture. taken, simply, without the
addition Of a feather headdress. was
like study in bronze.
But Iron Tail said it was too black
and he tore it up. Now he is having a
picture taken to look white, but natural
conditions will prevent his appearing
TOO much like paleface.-N Y. Sun.

From Portland, Portsmouth, Glouces-

fit to conquer the earth and the waters

They were only fishermen, merchant
sailors, whalers and even longshore-

the world. The British navy was the
largest and most powerful then known,
but the citizen sailors of America
laughed it to scorn and sailed their

were leaders, too, and the names of
Jones, Lawrence and Perry stand with
those Of Nelson and Drake. In later
