him, except his name; but while he
waited patiently, with her hands in
his, her thoughts flew swiftly back
over their short acquaintance, and
she began to realize how surely this
plain, quiet man had taken Roland's
place in her affections.
chow do you know" she said,
obeying a sudden roguish impulse,
"that I shall not accept you out of
spite?"
He smiled quietly.
''You are child, Stephie-you do
not understand yourself. I know that
you love me-
He said it simply. From another
man such o statement would have been
intoIatsble, but he was so utterly free
from self-love that Stephie's momen-
tary vexation died out instantly, and
she said, softly:
eyes, I believe I do"
His call upon her father that even
ing created good deal of surprise.
The weak little man was quite taken
aback, and Stephie's stepmother ran
into the girls room after David had
gone and laughed meaningly.
"Well, you are pretty clever girl
after all, Stephie! Dear, dear to
think Of your making such q match!
So he is the nice man that the young
ones have been telling about all sum
mer? You'll he fine lady now, sure
enough!'
ooh, no, mother" responded
Stephie, trying not to show her annoy
ance. "Mr. Preston is only q poor
man."
"a poor man! Why, Stephana
Bryant, one Of his paintings is worth
more than your fathers wages for
whole year,
''Mother, what do you mean?"
''What do I mean? For pity sake
has the girl lost her senses? Don't
you know that thatman who wants to
marry you is Charles D. Preston, the
great artist? heard o few days ago
that he was boarding at the lower vii
lage, but I hadn't the slightest idea
of this!"
Neither had Stephie.
Poor Stephie! She remembered
with sudden shame how condescend-
ingly she had talked to him of Roland's
talents. How she had thought of him,
even with her growing regard, as
matter of-fact man, with not much
poetry or appreciation Of the beauti-
full in his nature. And he was q great
landscape painter whose name was in
everybody's mouth. And he asked
her-a poor, little, lonely girl to marry
him!
She pondered for long while over
this, and when he came to see her on
the following day he found very
shame-faced little maiden.
They were married in the fall, and
Stephie went away from the old, toll
some life into q comfortable home of
her own.
Roland Harvey degenerated into an
idle, seedy-looking fellow, his fancied
talents amounting to nothing at all.
He had Tilted Stephie for an heiress
who had been fascinated by his
grace and beauty, aud after having
spent her money, they lived from
hand to mouth, until David Preston
got a situation for him at cabinet
painting, where he managed'to earn
fair salary.
AS for Stephie she has found her
real hero. Saturday Night.

1.-THE WIND THAT BLOWS"

Whichever way the wind doth blow,
Some heart is glad to have 1t so,
Then blow 1t east. or blow 1t west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.
My little craft sails not alone;
A thousand fleets from every zone
Are out upon thousand seas,
And what for me were favoring breeze
Might clash another with tho shock
OF doom, upon some hidden rock.
And 80 do not dare to pray
For winds to watt me on my way,
But leave me to higher will
10 stay or speed me, trusting still
That all is well, and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail with me
Through storm and calm. and will not fail
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me, every peril past.
Within His sheltering heaven at last.
Then, whatsoever wind doth blow,
My heart Is glad to have it 80.
And blow 1t east or blow it west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best.

stamp act"
Councilman Roundtree said that it
was in the province of his committee

new ordinance. You can reject the
ordinance or amend it if you like said

make the report"

Denver Buzzing With Federation Club

Denver Col, June 21-The American

Every incoming train has brought large
delegations from the four corners of the
country until the number of visitors num-

the trip without mishap and each party
experienced a delightful time en- route.
One of the largest delegations came in
yesterday afternoon from Chicago with 300
club women in charge of Mrs. Clara NJ. J.
Farson. This crowd was in charge of a
prospective bridegroom, Mr.. H. G.. Cow

which will be presented at the wedding

TOO MANY HANDS.
Demand for Harvest Help Said to Be
Over Supplied.

The following letter from Great Bend
concerning the surplus of harvest
hands has been received:
Great Bend, Kan, June 20, 1898.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
A small army of men have gathered
at Kinsley, Larned and Great Bend, VIII
are industrious laboring men, and have
families in eastern Kansas and Mis-
souri,; they have been misled by the
exaggerated accounts of high wages
in wheat harvest.
1t has been reported that wages
would be from 81. so to $3.50 for single
hands and 81 to So for men with teams.
The farmers are jubilant over the fact
that wages will be one-half or less of
what was expected and that there are
ten men to one job and harvest yet
two weeks off. Most of these men
have exhausted all means of procuring
something to eat and are gathered in
groups and are living on small rations
until they are fortunate enough to get
away.

CONSUMPTION Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAY

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 3z5 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

preston as to his choice between the
transfer to the line or promotion within
the corps, where future advancement is
limited. The final decision to give sub
stantial recognition without further delay
follows the formal refusal of exchange by
the Spanish government. The matter was
taken up by both the president and Secre-
tary Long, and it was announced private

COMMA BACILLUS.

In consumption beware of cough mix
lures and Prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium para1izes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain trace of any Opiate, but sti1nu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which 10 other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
Dlish.
