SAM WAS ALONE.
There Were Five of the Clay B0ys
When Trouble Began.

Back of the mOuEtalneer's cabin was
l great plum tree, and under this tree
was a grave without headstone. I

In the afternoon, but it was evening

the old man as he looked away into the
gathering twilight. Sam was my son

tween husband and wife that L had

him around he stood up to the hull five

FRlLLS OF FASHION.
Some New Notions for Ladies' Cos
tunes.

tunes.
Dog collars of velvet, more or less
covered with jewels, are much worn
with evening dress.
One of the novelties in iewelry is a
diamond snake with sapphire eyes
wound around a velvet collar band on
my lady's gown. 1t is made III three
divisions, which slide in such a way
that it appears whole. Little tablets
set in diamonds are made with slides
to fit on the velvet collar
Spiders, grasshoppers and all sorts of
winged insects and groveling bugs are
the popular designs in jeweled pins.
A narrow black MORE ribbon is set
forth as the successor of the gold chain,
and the "Incroyable" eyeglass or the
lorgnette it attached to the end.
Old-faslNoned pink canoes are COM
ing into vogue again, and the old-time
setting is to be retained.
Felt hats covered with large meshed
of millinery.
Added to the brooch in her back hair,
adopted to hold the short straws in
tidiness and free from her coat collar,
every second woman now carries dang
ling from her long neck chain a gold
latchkey. Some of these futile and
frivolously pretty trinkets that were
never made to open any lock ever seen
by land or sea have the hoop in the
handle set with jewels. Less expensive
ones are of silver, with enameled tops,
and some of these do turn in the locks
of escritoires, or open pretty boxes
where jewels and precious letters are
kept. Their purpose, however, is a
small matter, and they promise to be-
come as all pervading as the heart
locliets were and the clover leaf pen
dants now are.
The jeweled belt, the sash and the
velvet girdle with bow on the left
side, resplendent with a jewel buckle,
are the novelties in finish at the waist
Pretty revers for cloth gowns are
made of white silk finely tucked cross
wise, having hemmed frill on the
edge nearly two inches long.
A lowered silk gown can be brought
up to date with velvet blouse waist
of some dark color in the silk. The
sleeves may be of silk. and with a
guimpe neck of lace the effect is very
pretty. If the velvet bodice is black
rows of velvet ribbon on the skirt are
an improvement.-N.Y. Sun.

The little bedroom above the kitchen

The little bedroom above the kitchen
became place where she wrestled like
Jacob of old, in secret prayer; and when
she went to the league meetings, it was
with one entreaty: Pray for Sam; oh,
pray for Sam"
And now the poor drunkard began to
be girdled about with praying neigh
bors. Their faith was not larger than
grain of mustard seed; they were
more surprised to see Sam sober than
to see him drunk; but since they had
promised Silvy to pray for him, they
no longer passed him by like castoff.
If he was sober, they encouraged him;
if he was drunk they looked after him;
other places besides the blacksmith's
offered themselves to him for an even
ing resort, and everybody, with one ac-
| cord, urged him to come to church.
When he did come, they gave him n
hearty welcome, from the dapper young
usher to the old preacher; the very chill
! dren put their wee fingers in his, taught
by tender-hearted mothers.
And one night when Gods spirit was
present in great power, moving sinful
| hearts to come to the Saviour, bent
and feeble form presented itself for the
prayers of Gods people, and a great
wave of emotion swept over the con-
gregation-it was Sam DENLY, the
| drunkard!
The old preacher poured out his heart
to God, with his hand on the bowed head
of the poor drunkard; and the people
wept aloud. But the little maid in the
choir did not weep; she was standing
on a mount of vision; her face beamed
with triumph, and over and over she
whispered to her father: God has sent
His angel to shut the lions mouths"
Was it strange if the blacksmith
should fancy that Gods angel must look
like his daughter Silvy.-Elizabeth P.

him:

church,"
Sometimes I slips in to hear the
singin',' said the man; 81 used to be a
good hand at a tune myself. There's
one you sings that allus makes baby
of me-"
And in a quavering, but not untune-
full voice, Sam began to sing:
The Lords our Rock in Him we hide,
A shelter in the time of Storm
THAT'S bout all 1 know of the
words" he said, "'cept the chorus:
''Oh, Jesus is a Rock In a weary land,
weary land weary land
Oh, Jesus is Rock in a weary land,
A shelter In the time of storm"
"Wait a minute" said Silvy, with a
flush on her face, "I'll get my Gospel
Hymns, and sing you the rest"
But it was not for the hymn book
alone that she sped back into the little
college. Her father had come in from
the forge, and she stood pleading with
him and her mother for some plan
which had suddenly formed in her
young heart.
whats the use ofour singing Throw
out the lifeline if we never do it, IA
ther?" she exclaimed, the teardrops
running over, while she looked into his
face appealingly.
That's true" said Forbes. "Well,
wrist like yourn couldn't hold any life
line, after you'd throwed it,"
Silvy was already back at the fence.
She sang one after another of those
precious hymns, standing there under
the old walnut tree, at the end of the
village street. 1t was the far end, and
there were few passers-by, bit if there
had been many, Silvy would not have
noticed them; her whole heart was cen
tered in this new venture.
''Mr. DENLY" she said, after she had
shut the book, father says you are to
come around to our house tonight and
sing some with us, to my melodeon."
Sam DENLY burst into tears. Perhaps
they were maudlin, but they were signs
of shame and. however weak, of repent
ance. He would not promise, though
the girl coaxed him; but when the even
ing shades fell, and the glow was dy-
ing out in the forge, they saw him hang
ing around in sight of the cottage, and
the blacksmith went out and brought
him in to the neat sitting-room, where
Silvy's little melodeon stood.
For a few times Sam DENLY came to
the blaeksmith's cottage and joined in
the hymn singing. He was pleased
enough poor fellow. to find himself
in decent company, to be called "Alr
DENLY" and he loved music with all
the soul whisky had left him.
But in a short time he was lying in
the gutter, all the more beastly drunk
perhaps, because of his short abstin-
ence.
Well. our little village maiden learned
then, shedding bitter tears over the les
son page. that II was no child's play to
throw out the life line" But it only
cast her more nron the Great Helper,

THE GREAT UNFINISHED.
z.a.te -a A Correspondent Wants to Know When Phillips Ablution
 Took Place.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, June IA, 1898.
 Editor of the GRAPHIC,
 DEAR SRI notice in the last issue of the Pine Bluff Courier an article headed "A Clean Man for Sheriff" in the form of T. M. Phil lips. ask the question, when was he washed clean? 1 would like to know when. l was raised in the country and cast my first vote in Talledega township. But in those days the judges did not go to Gran or Cleveland county for voters as was done on May 7th in Talle- dega for Phillips and Martin. 1 do not say they went after the voters from Grant and Cleveland to vote, but voters from those coun- ties did vote in Talledega, and that too, when the judges knew they lived in those counties. It has been proven that illegal votes were cast in other townships O the same nature. But no such charges have been brought against Brewster or laid at his door. Neither have you heard of any telegrams being sent to saw mills south, "vote all the men you can for Brewster and Sorrells, " as was done for Phillips and Martin. I am not making a fight on MT. Phillips, but l want the Courier to know that Talledega did not vote clean vote for Mr. Phil lips, and I don't want the voters of Jefferson to forget that no evidence was taken against Mr. Phillips and we do not know that he was washed so as to be clean. We hope the 18th of June will be wash day for all, as all can vote f they like. As for the other contestants, 1 do not think them good Democrats or they would be more charitable towards their lfellow-men. Some seem to think that Brewster cannot hold the party together, but see no reason why he is not as good as any other Demo. crat.
