worthy of the name, who did not aspire
to be the father and the grandfather of
healthy, capable children TO hand down
his name and the fortune accumulated by
the sweat of his brow, from generation to
generation. There never was a wife fit to
bear that noble title, who did not wish to
wear womauhood's most glorious crown,
the sceptre of motherhood. Thousands
OF welded couples, otherwise happy, fall
short of wedlock's greatest happiness be-
cause they are childless. In the majority
of cases, this Is because the wife, through
ignorance or neglect, suffers from weak
ness and disease of the organs distinctly
feminine. For women who suffer in this
way there Is one great medicine that does
hot fail to accomplish its purpose. It Is
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts
directly on the delicate organs concerned
and makes them strong, healthy, vigorous,
virile and elastic. 1t allays Inflammation,
heals liberation. soothes pain n tones
the shattered nerves. It fits for wifehood
and motherhood. 1t quickens and vitalixes
the distinctly feminine organism. 1t ban
ishes the maladies of the expectant months
and makes baby's introduction to the world
easy and almost painless. 1t insures the
little newcomers health and nourishment
in plenty. It is the best supportive tonic
for nursing mothers.

Air Castles.

Living in the future is living in an
air castle. The man who says he will
lead a newer and a better life tomorrow,
who promises great things for the fu-
ture and does nothing in the present to
make that future possible, is living in
an air castle. In his arrogance he is at
tempting to turn water into wine, to
have harvest without seedtime. to have
an end without a beginning.
If we would make our lives grand
and noble, solid and impregnable. we
must forsake air castles of dreaming
for strongholds of doing. Let us think
little of the future except to determine
u course and to prepare for that fu-
ture by making each separate day the
best and truest that we can. Let us live
up to the fullness Of our possibility
each day. Man has only one day of life
today. He did live yesterday, he may
live tomorrow, but he bas-only today.

we'll Answered.

In the early part of this century there
dyed in Nantucket a young Quakeress
whose wit caused many a ripple in the
demure circle of the Friends.
When this pretty Martha attended
yearly meeting in Newport at the age
of IS, her youthful spirits brought her
occasional grave looks from the elders,
although her real goodness of heart was
never questioned.
One evening, during the session of
yearly meeting, Martha was the center
of a group Of young people gathered
near the windows of the parlor in the
boarding house where some Of the
Friends lodged for the time. The young
people were playing the simple and
amusing game of humorous defini-
tions. Martha's wit caused such fire.
quent laughter that a solemn faced per
son rose from his seat at the other end
of the room and asked, in a loud, stern
voice:
martha. can thee give me the def
milton of gravity"
The pretty Quakeress colored at this
public and unnecessary rebuke, but
after scarcely %perceptible hesitation.
she answered demurely:
II am not able to give thee a defni-
tion of my own, Friend Brown, but
perhaps that of De la Rochefoucauld
will suit thee. He says that gravity is
a mysterious carriage of the body, in
vented to cover the defects Of the
mind. Youths Companion.

AN OLD BUFFALO BULL.
~,
The One-Time Monarch Of the Plains
in Old Age Becomes the Prey
OF Wolves.

,Buftaloes, in the days when they
abounded on the western plains, used
to drive an old buffalo bull from the
herd and abandon him to his fate. The
feeble brute sought n stream or lake,
where he could find good grass without
too much exertion. Solitude. foreign
to him from birth. robbed him of his
courage and made him so nervous that
the rustling of leaf, or even his own
shadow. frightened him.
Nobody" writes Col Inman in his
book, The Old Santa Fe Trail" lever
saw one of these miserable and help
lessly forlorn creatures dying a natu-
raj death, or ever heard of such an oc-
currence. The cowardly coyote and the
gray wolf had already marked him for
their own; and they rarely missed their
calculations The author describes 4
scene he witnessed in 1866 while riding
on the top of a divide with party of
friends:
We saw standing below in the valley
an old buffalo bull. the very picture of
despair. Surrounding him were seven
gray wolves. The poor beast had deter
mined 10 die game. His great shaggy
head. filled with burs. was lowered tn
the ground; hin tongue. black and
parched. lolled out of his mouth. At
intervals he uttered a feeble roar. to
which the wolves. sitting on their
haunches in semicircle in front of the
beast. responded with howl.
The bull made dart at the nenrest
wolf and tumbled him. bowling with
pain. over the prairie. The other wolves
started for his hind legs to hamstriny
him. The buffalo turned to repel the
attack; the wolves turned as quickly.
and again fastened their jaws on his
heels. His hind quarters streamed with
blood; he showed signs Of weakness.
but he did not dare to lie down; that
would have been fatal. although he had
killed three of the wolves. Then one
OF the hunters mercifully shot him. and
the wolves ate his thin. tough carcass.

The Capacity OF the Malay.

The European and the American
have very low estimate of the ca

Japanese and the Filipinos. There
may be Il rude awakening one Of
these days. According to the Pail
Mall Gazette, the Japnness- are de-
veloping wonderful capacity for
manufactures, especially In textiles.
They have seventytive cotton mills in
Japan, with capital OF S2O,OOO,oOO,
running million epindles ard 200,
WO more abont to be erected, en-
ploylng $4,000 men and $4,000 women,
and working up $4,000 tons of cotton
a year. We see it stated elsewhere
that the dividends on the stock of
these companies have averaged 18
per cent for several years past. Then
men work for from 10 cents to l6
cents day and the women for from 5
cents tn 10 cents, payable in silver
worth 80 cents ON the dollar. We
know OF no reason why the Filipmoe
who are OF the same race, should not
be able in few years to do the same
kind OF work. What will happen to
American manufacturers if these
manufactured goods are admitted
into the United States free? Ameri-
can capital will go to these new pos
sessions. employ this cheap labor, i'm

English textile manufacturers are

India and Japan. What will happen
to the American? 1t will not do to
underestimate the capacity of the
Malay or Chinese.

Paste for PictuFes.

The best thing to use to mount pic.
lures is boiled flour paste. It should be
entirely free from Jumps and made
about as thick as boiled starch. In APP
plying 1t use fat brush and also rub
the paste smooth in case of any possible
Jumps. II mucilage or gum-arabic and
water are used. II should be remem-
bercd that the pictures should be moist
cned on the back before the mucilage is
applied; otherwise they will dry in Bills

fl Young Man Shot.

Delbert Church. aged 19 years, re-
siding with his father Mr.. Wallace w.
Church, five miles southwest OF Mt.
Ida, in the township Of Little Grant,
was shot last Tuesday night at $50
O'Clock and in all probability will die.
Young Church is a member of the
order Of the Modern Woodmen, and
on Tuesday night he attended meet
ing OF the camp at Mt. Ida. From
the lodge he started home at a little
after 9 O'Clock riding in road cart
with blanket over his lap and a %
calihre rifle beside him, or reclining
between his knees, with which he in
tended to shoot rabbits as the moon
was shining brightly. When in the
road near the farm house of Joseph
Anderson his rifle was accidently dis
charged. probably from becoming en-
tangled in the blanket. The ball en-
tered his right breast five inches be-
low the collar bone. penetrated his
lung and lodged probably in the
shoulder.
He drove to Joe Aldersons where
he received prompt attention. DR..
Orr was summoned by telephone from
Mt. Ida and arrived in good time, but
the wound is such that little can be
done for the unfortunate Young man

The hearing of Frank Newman and
Mrs. Fitzgerald mentioned last week
was settor this Wednesday afternoon
The court house janitor, knowing the
morbid desire of "bald heads'' and
others for something sensational. post
ed on the court room door notice:
admission for men over fifty years
of age, 10 cents; for bald-heads. any
age 20 cents The notice did no
good and at the time for opening the
hearing the room was crowded TO the
crushing point not only by Lancaster's
usual gallery jury but by a host OF
the neighbors and acquaintance of
the accused parties.
But Justice Wheeler was as cruel
and unrelenting as fate. He read law
to justify his action and then com
PEELED everybody except the interest
ed parties and witnesses to leave the
room. Probably more disappointed
looking crowd never came down the
court house stairs.
Mrs. Fltzgerald's case came on first.
The evidence showed that Newman
and woman believed by two witnes
es to be the defendant, came to the
Troutman House in Boscobel Jan. ..
1899, and remained there over night.
On this and little other evidence she
was held for trial in the circuit court.
Her bail bond is fixed at $500.
Newman waived examination. His
bonds are placed at 5000.
The case has created much talk.
Both parties are well known. Mrs.
Fitzgerald is good looking woman
of middle age. She is the mother Of
ten children, two or three of whom
are married. Mr.. Newman is also
well along in years though not what
would be called an old man. There
are two Frank Newmans in the county.
