Riding Home.

''My feet's tired" said little Richard, When walking out one day. You'll have to carry me, papa, All the rest of the way" Why, you're too big to be carried" Said papa. Where's your pride7 If you can't walk any farther, Just take my cane and ride" So the steed Dick mounted quickly And galloped off with glee. Riding is eastern walking, I'll soon get home" said he.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some $1.- S75.000, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes 1t interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over S1, 100000, but the bulk of this was cer- tainly not professional earnings: Dr. Paul of Camberweli amassed over S500,000, but he owned one, if not two, lucrative private lunatic asylums.
 The next largest personally to Sir w. Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving $1,720,- 11O behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, large proportion of which for long series of years had been excellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there is large falling off in the amount, $1,034, 465. Sir An drew sank good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton's, about s735,O00, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich- ard Quain's, about $585,000.
 Sir William Bowman, the oculist, Sir Prescott Hewett. Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were well under the $500,000 mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $15,000 or $20,000 a year is big income for professional man, but at one time Sir William Gull's professional fees most certainly averaged $1000 8 week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over Sl,5O0 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro- fessiCn, without doubt.

A Youthful Master ot Finance.

One Of the cadets of a north western military academy, but who lives in Chicago, has convinced his father that he is destined to a brilliant business career 1t is all owing to a letter that the young man wrote short time ago.
 It appears that the father had prom ised the boy he should have any sort of a watch he warted at the close of the present school term. Nothing more was heard about the watck until the father received letter that ran about like this: Dear Father:-I have been looking at watches lately and have decided that the kind I want will cost you about $350. AS watch oY this value is hardly of the sort for a boy of 15 to carry, and as I will not need watch till after leave school, ] wish to make this suggestion: Prob ably you are hard up and do not wish to spend $350 for a watch at this time. Four years from now, when I leays school watches will be cheaper. and 1t is likely that you can then buy the same watch for $150. Now the interest on s350 for four years Simple inter- est-I am willing to let you have the benefit of the compound at per cent will be S84 If you will send me the $S4 now you need not buy the watch till after leave school. Tn this way you will have the use of the $266 for four years, and at the end of that time the watch will only cost you $50; $50 plus sS4 is $234, or $116 less than what the watch will cost you now. So, you see, by this plan you will make clear profit on this transaction of $116. Your loving son. EDDY"

AT HYMEN's ALTER.


 Wedding rings are supposed to be always the same, but still the fashion of them has altered lately among smart people. The newest brides are wearing plain gold cirelets which are about tWe-thirds narrower than those formerly worn. Jewellers are also showing a new ring. When worn it is exactly like any conventional wedding ring. In reality 1t consists of two separate gold bands, each made in 8 spiral. These fit so closely together as to form perfect ring without visi- ble joint. This marriage ring is sym bolical of the joining of two into one.
 Seventeen years ago a bequest was made to the city of London by a beneY- olent Italian gentleman of s4,00O to form fund to give marriage portion O. S6G each to three poor girls every year. Unfortunately, the sum was quite inadequate, and up till now the wishes of the testator have not been carried out. However, the trustees have allowed the money to accumulate and in two years time the capital will be sufficient for three girls to be en. riched according to the desire of the Italian benefactor.
 The much-prized wedding raiment ol certain American brides has been treated to various Announcements One bride lost hers in a fire at New port and another had hers ruined by leakage in the hold of ship en route to Europe. Hence new fashion has arisen of having special box for pre- serving relic of the wedding cake. covered with piece of the same stuff as the wedding garment. It may be square, round, or heart-shaped. with an initial or crest on the outside. Some times, besides the bridal cake cut on the table, there Is smaller one to he retained as souvenir, bearing the names of the bride and bridegroom in silver frosting, with those of the bridesmaids and best man and the ushers. On the round box, in the cen. ter Of the lld, Water-colored portrait of the bride is introduced, and these boxes fasten with a silver clasp. formed of the united initials of the hS 2py pair.
 There is also a new fashion in the boxes employed for sending wedding cake to friends-some are white, some ivory and. some are pearl and white, bearing either silver or pearl mono gram or pretty little cupids or hearts on the covers. Occasionally the hand writing of the bride is represented by her Christian name written across the top. Sometimes every box is hand painted and these are intended to be kept as memento of the event.

rinsel Fabrics for Summer.

This is a glittering season. Summer dress goods continue to be woven with tinsel threads and very pretty are the effects thus obtained. In the dark di4phanous materials the gleaming suggestive tinsel is most effective. Ths newest gauge used, either as a trim- ming or for entire evening gowns, comes traced in swirling design in gold and silver threads, and the latest mousseline de soie is embroidered with glittering threaas. To the English is due the praise for the luminous pow der which when applied to fabrics gives them the brilliant, scintillating coloring of the opal by day and ren- ders them phosphorescent by night.

snake with One Body, Two Heads and Two TaiIs-Then There's D Bear That
 Lugs or Big Pork Barrel, and Negro Who's Turning White a
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-10-30

A Callicoon (Pa) farmer bought barrel to pack some beef in, and left it in the barnyard, one night recently. Next morning it was gone, to his great vexation, as pork barrels are not plen- tiful in that neighborhood. There was no one in the neighborhood whom the farmer suspected of stealing 1t, and the disappearance was a mystery that he tried to solve for long time in vain. The other day the secret came out. Passing along a scrub-oak ridge near a brook he saw his missing barrel in hollow. He went to the barrel, and as he laid his hand on 1t there was a great rumbling inside and out popped bear, which gave a startled look and shuf- fled away rapidly into the bush. There was no explanation of the presence of the barrel in that spot except on the theory that the bear had stolen it in the night and rolled it all the way to the ridge, where the barrel had lodged, for snug resting place for himself.
 In slavery days, susquehanna and Wayne counties had many stations of the Underground railroad for slaves escaping from the South to Canada. Among the slaves to escape was Tom Harris, who was owned by Col Harris of Culpepper, Va. As soon as war was declared, Tom returned from Canada to Wayne county, where he has since lived, doing odd jobs on farms. When Tom came to Wayne county he was as black as the "ace of spades but for the last three years white spots have appeared upon his person. and today he Is more than two-thirds white. Each succeeding white spot is larger and winter than the one preceding, and their coming Is accompanied by in- tense pain and itching. Toms hair, once twisted and "kinky,'" is gradual ly straightening, and he expresses the belief that. before long, he will be "as white as any man in Wayne county" Toms singular transformation is in- teresting the scientists of the state.-- SusQuehanna Cor.

A SCIENCE LECTURE.

On Tuesday evening Mr.. Edward A.
Kimball, of Chicago lectured at the
opera house on the doctrines of Christ
ian Science. A large, number of our
people were present, interested to learn
more of this new Christian faith. Mr..
Kimball was forceful speaker and no
one could fail to see that he was thor
oughly in earnest and honest in his con-
victions.
He defined Science and Christian
Science. He spoke of the healing Of
diseases, and said it was not by a mir
aculous method, but was the only nat
ural method. Death and disease are
not part of Gods wisdom and love- The
spirit lives forever, and the spirit, not
the body, is Gods handiwork. He men
toned many cures which he knew had
been made through Christian Science,
and said that the Bible taught faith
and understanding in God as the only
true healing powers. He said scientists
burned all bridges behind them when
they made this statement. They knew
that they separated themselves from
the mass of Christian people in making
these statements. He did not go into
details, but said that he was living
proof of the healing power of Christian
Science and that he invited those who
did not believe to investigate the sub
ject for themselves, and they would be
convinced
The Scientists of Denison were much
1 pleased and the lecture created vast
amount of discussion among our people,
which was in fact one of the main OBJ
jects aimed at in the lecture.

AND CROP REPORTS,

Weather Bureau.


Weather Bureau.
There was more than the usual
amount OF cool and cloudy weather dur
ing the past week, and,the week closed
with heavy storm which brought ex-
cessive moisture in portions of the CEN
trail and southern sections. Iowa City
reported 4.35 inches for the seven DAYS
ending Monday a. M, and Cedar Rap
ids z.Ol inches, which will cause some
delay in the field work.
Conditions were generally favorable.
however, during most of the week, and
the time has been we'll improved in
blowing and planting operations. In
all districts considerable progress has
been made in planting corn, with the
soil in good filth. This work is prob
ably more advanced in the northern
and central districts than in the SOUTH
eastern part of the state, where there
has been an excess of moisture. Spring
wheat. oats and barley have made fine
advancement, and the week has been
very favorable for grass. But little
damage resulted from frost on the 18th.
Fruit trees, vines and berries that
escaped destruction during the winter
give promise of good crops.

The PASSING OF FREE SILVER.

For long time republicans have
prophecied that free silver would not
be an issue of the next presidential
campaign. They claimed that the is
sue was killed so effectually in 1896
that it would never arise again at least
in it's old form. The Bulletin, control
led by man who left the republican
party on the silver question alone, has
already begun to place itself in position
to change front on the silver question.
1t suggests little less radical plank
on the silver question" and says the
Germans have found there is no need
for "alarm over the silver question:
The Bulletin has been most ardent
apostle of free silver at the Heaven
born ratio and its first step toward re-
treat is full of interest. 1t shows that
ii, is in reality after the loayes and fishes
Only, that it is ready to give up what it
chained WAS the only salvation of the
American republican in order to catch
a few votes. Poor old free silver? But
what will the silver republicans do
now?
