Legislators Should Take Heed


Madison state journal.
The pupers of the stutc--aud that
is their husino-s--are now giving adj
wise to the legislature It Is very
easy to give advise, and 1t is import
ant that it be- given Tn people
have right To insist that the legis-
lature shall carry out their wishes
and protect their interests. There
never has been a time ia the history
of the state when the people
were wider awake than now in re-
gard 60 public matters, and more in
sisteut that their legislative repre-
seujatives DO their duty.
There are few important things
that there Will be no possible excuse
for leaving undone. The useless Of
fees should be abolished. Economy
should be compelled in all depart
meuts of the state service. The issu-
ing Of passes 20 public officials
should be prohibited by law The
corporations should be made to pay
their reasonable share Of the taxes.
The caucus law should be amended
So rs to max" it less cumbersome
and expensive. These are things the
people want attended To, aud they
will not be satisfied unless they are
attended 10. There are many minor
matters 20 be acted upon but these
we have suggested are questions up
on which all the people, without re-
gard 20 party, insist that there shall
be proper legislative action taken.

The town of Palmas SOreano consists
of several hundred matched houses and
perhaps about 30 Frame brick and
stone houses, with tiled roofs. 1t is
situated in "A valley surrounded by hills
A line of forts stretches from northeast
to southwest, with line ef barbed

In military prisons an offender is some
times sentenced to carry cannon balls from
one place to another and pile them up all
day long That Is all. Perhaps it does not
seem very terrible but it soon wears his
life out. 1t Is practically death sentence,
and he knows it, he would rather be shot.
Many a sick man feels the same way about
the burden of disease that he is Juggling
back and forth from day to day. He would
as soon be down with mortal disease. 1t
will come to that sooner or later
mans life can be dragged out by
dyspepsia and liver complaint. The ex-
perience of Mr.. J. T. Caldwell, of Fall
Creek Depot, Pittsylvauia Co., Va, shows
how DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry saves people from consumption by
waking up their nutritive organism and
giving IT power to supply pure, healthy
blood, which drives out blood poisons and
dead tissues and builds up sound, whole

AN HONEST INDIAN.


A Singular Experience with Arapoo-
isI, "a Chicf of the Crows.
Arapooish, chief of the Crow Indians,
was man of wonderful influence. In
"Bonneville's Adventure" an incident
IL related showing his method of re.
straining the evil propensities Of his
braves. Mr.. Robert Campbell. while a
guest in the lodge of Arapooish, had
collected large quantity Of furs and.
fearful of being plundered, had deposit
ed but part in the lodge The rest he
buried
One night Arapooish entered the
lodge with cloudy brow and. turning
to Campbell, said:
"Yon have more furs with you than
you have brought to my lodgep"
~ have, replied Campbell.
"Where are they? :"
Campbell described the place.
=" 'Tis well, said Arapooish "You
speak straight But yonr cache has been
robbed. Go and see how many skins
have been taken.
Campbell examined the cache and
estimated his loss to be about 30 bea.
yer skins.
Arapooish summoned his people. ro.
preached them for robbing a guest and
commanded that the skins should be
brought back For himself. he would
not eat or drink till all had been re-
stored
Soon the skins began to come in.
They were laid down in the lodge and
those who brought them departed with
out a word Arapooish sat in one cor
ner silent Above hundred pelts were
brought in, and Campbell expressed
himself satisfied. Not SO the Crow chief

showed that everything was gone by
the board except the broken spars and
torn rigging that hung to the stumps
of the masts. The beats were all gone.
The wheelhouse was stove in. and the
captains cabin had been crushed by
falling spars. With an oar from our
boat we scraped among some of the sea-
weed and slime and found that the
matches had all been battened down.
We found the main gangway covered
with dense heap of seaweed, in which
there Were scores of crabs and strange
looking dwellers in the depths of the
southern seas. With much labor we
cleared away this mass of stuff and
reached the head of the ladder leading
down from the main deck. Dill, the
mate, looked down into the dark water
that rose almost to the top of the gang
way. and then he sprang back with a
cry of horror.
"A sudden roll of the ship on deep
swell churned the water between decks
and the bloated body of dead sailor
was thrown up the ladder and SO
wedged in the passageway that the face
stared straight up at us The flesh was
soft and white, as if ready to drop from
the bones, and the eyes had already fallen
out. The hideous face seemed to mock
at us with CHASTITY leer
with one accord we all started back
toward the stern of the vessel, where
our boat was tied to the rail Before we
reached the boat there came another
heavy swell, the ship lurched to star
board and as she rolled back to an even
keel something in her framework below
decks broke with n mufiled crash. Then
II small fountain of black water, capped
by yellow bubbles, broke from the open
gangway and great quantity of gas
that had been confined below shot high
up into the air with report like escap-
ing steam.
with this eruption from tho depths
of tho ship there came an odor of de-
caying flesh so strong and sickening
that we fell into our boat, almost over
come. The line was cut and we pushed
away as quickly rs possible. Nest of us
were 20 overcome that we were unable
to handle the oars, but. fortunately, an
bthNA ipiA va Nhft Atllltu bilO
ship away from un and we were clear of
the horrible odor. The roar of escaping
gas continued for several minutes, and
then the broken and battered dereiet
settled stern first and sank swiftly out
of sight.
"The Mary Clay reached home in
time and ON our next trip to South
America we found possible solution of
the remarkable incident of a ship rising
from the sea. British vessel loaded
with live stock for Brazil had been lost
some months before, probable near the
Snrgossa sea. II the ship settled ON an
even keel at the bottom, sand and sea
weed might have closed the rent in her
hull that caused her to sink. Then, with
the matches battened down above, the
decomposition of the bodies of the ami
mails that had formed the cargo would
create enough gas between decks in
time to cause the vessel to rise to the
surface. When we clearad tina soeswnJ
tho gas escaped and the broken vessel
went to the bottom second time. -

Ths fire is dim, the light is low,
Ard silent in my easy chair

About me in the darltling air.
The walls with books are covered wellj
Quite TO the ceiling high they rise.
And in the darkness ! can tell
Where each beloved volume lios.
But now they seem TO live and move,
And faces from their bindings stare,
And all the authors that loso
And their creations fll the air.
They never speak; their eager eyes
Look for companions never found,
As each into the dar rknoSs dies
In turn and makes no sound.
And groups float by, but never gaEo
Upon each other; all intent
ON unknown errand Eu their ways
OR stand in mute bowilderment.
What are ye-reai CT feigned thingsp
And will We live some grandor life,
When we who breathe have lost our wings
And fallen, silent, in the strifeY
And who are grcatest--those who found

or those who till the spirit ground
OF fancy that can never die
For men may live and do and dare.
Yet fade away, by all forgot,
Hut these creations, foul and fair,
Live ON md perish not.

Intentionally a. True.
But 1t ~ not, o dearest,
The thing you mean TO do

That makes the quick tear start;
The tear may bo forgotten
But the hurt stays In the heart.
And though may forgive you
A dozen times day,
Yet each forgiveness wears, doar.
A little love away.
As tho impatient rivor

Or as the ficlxlo ocean
Wears out the faithful land.
And one day you'll be griaving

Has worn great love out.
