ANEODoTAL LITERATURE.
Contributed to the Independent
by W. G.
GOLDSMITH DUpED.

In his new lodgings, in Wine
Office Court, Goldsmith began to
receive visits of ceremony, and to
entertain his literary friends. Among
the latter be now numbered several
names of note. He had also a
numerous class OF hsngers.on, the
small fry OF literature, who, know
ing his almost utter incapacity to
refuse pecuniary request, were apt,
now that he was considered flush, to
levy continual taxes upon his purse.
Among others, one Pilkington, an
old college acquaintance, but now
shifting adventurer, duped him in
the most ludicrous manner. He
called on him with face full of per-
plexity. A lady OF the first rank
having an extraordinary fancy for
curious animals, for which she was
willing to give enormous sums, de-
sired him to procure a couple Of
white mice to be forwarded to her
from India. They were actually on
board of ship in the river. Her
grace had been appraised of their ar
rival and was all impotence to see
them. Unfortunately he had no
cage to put them in, nor clothes TO
appear in before lady of her rank.
Two guineas would be sufficient for
the purpose. But where we're two
guineas to come from?
The simple heart of Goldsmith
was touched; but alasl he himself
had but half a guinea in his pocket.
1t was unfortunate; but, after a
pause, his friend suggested, with ap-
parent hesitation, that money might
be raised upon his watch, it would
be but the loan of few hours" So
said, so done; the watch was de-
liyered to the worthy Mr.. Pilking.
ton, TO be pleadged at a neighboring
pawn-brokers. But, alasi noEnlng
further was ever seen OF him, the
watch or the white micel
The next that the cleverly duped
Goldsmith heard of the poor shift
ing scape-grace, he was on his death
bed, starving from want. Upon
which, forgetting and forgiving the
trick he had played upon him, he
sent him a guinea.

they bring their offerings to this
most joyous feast of The year The
Feast of Tabernacles.
The eighth day, the last day OF
the feast, with its imposing cere-
monies, has dawnedl The festal
robed throng with palm branches
waving, led by priest carrying a
golden pitcher, marched through the
temple gate. Reaching the foun-
tain of Sloan, the golden pitcher is
filled and brought back to the Tenn

struments of music!
On this day the priests march
seven times instead of once, about
the altar; as the chant Of thanksgiv-

Lord, for He is good; for His mercy

cline to the altar; and a hush falls
over the assembly SIS he pours the
water into a silver basin on the altar.
At this suspicious moment, Jesus
presents the Living water; thus full
filling the symbolic meaning of the
water poured upon the altar. he
takes His place before the people
and cries ''If any man thirst, let

Soon He must leave them; but

Saviour pleads! Will the multitude

Took q Vacation,

Sheriff Matt Stone, of Sanilac County,
has had q huStling time lately all be-
cause he forgot. 1t seems that Stone
was FitZsimmonS sympathiZer and
had made up his mind that Fitz had
license to knock the stufling out of
anything on earth in about two rounds.
When the morning papers appeared
with great head lines announcing that
the red-headed bruiser had bitten the
dust, Stone is said to have become
somewhat daZed, left the cell doors un-
fastened, the outside doors open, and
to have retired to an inner Office to
peruse the history of the great fight to
figure out how it all happened. Mean
while Willie EdgertOn concluded that
this was good opportunity to get
bit of fresh air and a change of diet.
He says he thought he had put up
with Stones hot cells and second class
grub about long enough, and so he
took an evenings stroll out into the
fields and away down TO see his friends
and relatives.
Stone finally concluded that Fitz was
actually whipped and about that time
Frank Gillian, Under Sheriff, appeared
on the scene and discovered that the
cage was open and the bird flown.
Then there began wild old time
hustling all over the surrounding
country. Telephone messages set dep
uties rushing around the country, but
Willie leisurely continued to walk on
home. 1t is said he arrived in time to
watch Deputies Wilkie, DEMO and
others do some tall hustling while he
took it cool enjoying the morning
breeze. In good time he made his
whereabouts known, saw number of
friends, enjoyed number of good
square. meals, and then quietly return
ed to Sanilac Centre with Deputy
Sheriff Dick Ella who had been doing
a little hustling on his own account.
Very few will blame the boy for what
he did. There are few but who would
do the same as he did under the same
circumstances.

ChiIdren's Day Exercises.

Last Sunday was beautiful day and
the exercises of the children were well
attended in Central hall, where the
Presbyterians hold their services, in
the forenoon. The rostrum was hand
somely decorated with flowers and
plants, and the music and other feat
ures were bright and attractive.
At the Nj. +. church in the evening
the exercises were a great success. The
church, which had been beautifully and
artistically decorated for the occasion,
was crowded to its utmost capacity,
standing room being at a premium.
The singing and recitations by the
children did credit to the training they
had received, many of the numbers
bringing forth much applause. Special
features of the entertainment were a
drill by sixteen little girls, an anthem
by the choir, and tableau entitled
"The Sailors Return. The drill and
march are deserving of especial men,
ton, for, although it was long and diff
cult, it was beautifully executed-the
little ones keeping almost perfect time
with the music. Everyone present was
delighted with the program and went
home happy in the enjoyment of an
hour well spent.

Chronic Neuralgia.

There are some patients who can
not be absolutely cured. Their con-
ditions are such that positive cure is
out of the question. We know that
we are going out of the usual line in
stating the case thus, but we desire to
be truthful above all things. We fire.
quently find in all forms of Neuralgia
and Rheumatism, certain small per-
centage who are only relieved by the
use of Ath-lo-pho.ros. But we are
glad to say that the relief is so great
as to be almost cure. The intense
pain entirely disappears, and only an
occasional twinge reminds the patient
of his past sufferings. The following
is a typical case of this class of pa
tents:
KANKAKEE, ILL.,, March 18th, 1898.
Gentlemen:-I haye used your
medicine for about eight years and
could not get along without it. 1t
has cured me of Neuralgia in my
head almost. meyer have it unless
| have very heavy cold in my head
but as soon as | take few doses of
Ath-lo-pho.ros it is all gone.
