Tested Her Strength.

Charley NJ. was at home from college,
spending his summer vacation. The
Ms were people fairly well to do, and
Charley was passing the forenoon very
comfortably on the cool and shady
veranda.
Down by the barn yard fence, in a
neglected place, n crop of strong,
healthy weeds had sprung up and
fiourished under the summer sun. Left
unmolested in the rush of work on the
farm, they were fast becoming blot
on the otherwise orderly premises, and
that morning Charley's father-the
''old man"-had sailed forth and was
now making 4 vigorous assault upon
the patch.
Suddenly he left off his work and
came up into the yard. Taking a
broomstick which happened to be lean
Ing against ehe veranda, he laid it on
the grass, then turned to Charley and
said:
"Git down here and see if you can
pull me over that stick"
He held in his hand a small chain, in
each end of which was inserted stout
stick to serve as a handle. Then Che
tug began and developed into quite 4
spirited contest. But at last Charley
succeeded in dragging the old man
across the line.
There, thatII do he said, dropping
his end of the chain. Il guess you've
got strength enough to pull them
weeds down there by the barn"
Il never said Il word,'' said Charley,
telling the story afterward, but before
noon there weren't any weeds left
standing"-Youth'sC Companion.

A peddler the other day found him
self in an office building occupied
wholly by lawyers. He went up to
the first fiat looking for 4 customer,
but he found all the doors locked Then
he went up to the second fiat, and there
he found everybody absent, and so at
last he went to the top fiat Here he
espied an open door, and, looking in,
saw a man busy writing at his desk.
The peddler began telling of his wares,
but the lawyer interrupted with, NO,
1 don't want any, Still the peddler
continued, and again the lawyer pro-
tested. Il tell you 1 don't want any
thing Get outn' But the peddler per-
sisted so that the lawyer, thoroughly
angry, quickly arose and threw the in
truder down the stairs.
Just as he landed the lawyers part
ner appeared, and, taking it for grant
ed that there was good reason for such
action, lie seized the poor man and
threw him down the next flight.
Strange enough, the janitOr of the
building saw the second landing of the
Deddlcr, and the fact that he was
peddler was enough to cause him to
seize the victim and throw him down
The final flight of stairs. Here the I'M
fortunate man picked himself up, and.
rubbing his bruises, observed, well,

The Pnregoric Fiend.

Down the village street, getting one
foot before the other with = combina-
ton of Il jerk and n drag, came q
shriveled, tremulous figure.
'See him." a villager inquired of the
summer resident, pointing 4 shoulder
at the stumbling figure. That's 4

paregOric than all the babies in the
village put together. How'd he get in
the way of taking the stuff? Well,
you know, there's some old women in
our town that think paregOric good for
all manner of things that's the matter
with your insides, an when daddy
had pains from eating too much his
wife dosed him with paregoric, an the
first thing she knowed he couldn't get
on without it. He's worse'n n drunk

feet of him without smellin the stuff.
He had n stroke a spell back, an the

decline and FAN of Corn Bread.

1t seems to us that our own people
are not the great corn bread eaters
they used to be. Batter or egg and
certain cakes are still in vogue, but
the honest and homely corn pone, the
corn dodger and the hOecake are not
as popular as they used TO be. AS for
the ash cake, the cooking of it has be-
come n lost art almost.
We charge this change, in part at
least, to the introduction. even in most
country homes, of the modern cooking
stove and range. 1t takes a great big
open fireplace and southern negress,
with red bandanna on her head, to
make prime corn bread Nor will any
meal but water ground meal serve the
best purpose. Steam power meal is
tabooed. Dispatch.

The Chicago Tribune has this to say
of the republican congressional stu

him last year, and the race was so
close that only the vote of the Mercer
county delegation saved Mr.. Prince
from defeat. Mr.. Searle is trustee
of the Western Normal college. The
district is a new one and the college
has not been located. Aledo, the
county seat of Mercer county, is a
candidate for it and is depending on
MIR. Searle to secure for il the prize

THE INTERMEZZO.

The light shone soft you, my own
With your violin pressed TO your chin,
And as the room was filed with each throbbinl
tone
The angels seemed crowding in
The intermezzo, so soft and sweet
That it drew from my eyes the tears
All. the echo still, 50 faint and feet,
j catch DER the space Of years
You wore gown so pure and white,
At your throat a glimpse of blue,
And the stars outside, the eyes Of night,
Seemed looking in at YOU
Your arm moved slowly up and down
As each throbbing string you pressed,
And / enyied so that violin brown
Its precious place OF rest.
Each note was played so pure, so true,
But full Of sorrow, great and wild,
And, pray, what grief had come TO you,
Then scarcely more than little child?
Twas the mystic grief that music brings
From violin's vail to an organs roll;
Twas that which trembled on those strings
And passed from them TO my ist'ning SOUL
am carried back to that night, when l hear
The ave Maria,'' so sweet and slow,
And my heart beats fast for you, my dear,
Is it did that night, so long ago.

injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af-
fects the heart and disturbs the whole

the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.

PAIN BORNE WITH SILENCE.


One of the most pathetic things is the
manner in which the animal Kingdom en-
dures suffering. TAX horses, for in
stance, in battle. After the first shock of
a wound they make no sound. They bear
the pain with a mute, wonderful endur-
ance, and if at night you hear a Wlld
groan from the battle field if comes from
their loneliness, their loss of that human
compa rionship which seems absolutely
Indispensable to the comfort of domesti-
Gated animals
The dog will carry a broken leg for
DAYS Wistfully but uncomplalnIngly.
The cat, stricken with a stick or stone,
or caught iii some trap from which it
gnaws it's way to freedom, crawls in
some secret place and bears in silence
pain which we could not endure. Sheep
and cattle often meet the thrust of the
butchers knife without a sound, and
even common poultry endure intense
gony without complaint.
The love shot unto death flies to some
| far off bough. and as it dies the silence is
unbroken save by the patter on the leaves
of it's own life blood. The wounded deer
! speeds to some thick brake, and in pitiful
| submission waits for death.
The eagle, shot in midair, fights to this
| last against the fatal There is
! no moan or sound of pain, and the defiant
| look never fades from its eyes until the
lids close over them never to uncov

MR.. MILES OF DAWSON.
WHAT HE SAYS OF THE DOOMED
KLONDIKE COUNTRY.

Frank B. Miles, who went UP to the
Klondike country, over a year g for
Butte capitalists returned yesterday. He
left Dawson une 80 and is on his way to
Ottawa where he will endeavor to interest
the Canadian officials in securing a Klon-
dixie exhibit for the Paris exposition.
MT. Miles said:
There are 1900 people in the Yukon
region at the present time. By he time
it freezes up this fall and the diggings and
washing has to stop for the season he
production OF gold will average $1,000 per
head; or, in other words, $17, OOO, 200. The
Yukon country has been greatly overdone.
There is only so much paying ground in
the country, n everybody cannot get a
rich claim. There will be 10000 people
come out Of there before it freezes up.
Some of them went in with nothing and
will come out rich. Others who went Sin
with money will come out without a cent:
n still others who went in with nothing
will leave it at the expense Of the govern
ment, which will pay many a mans way
out Of the country. There is one feature
relative to mining in that country that
should not be Overlooked, and that is ex-
perience in other placer camps counts for
nothing. A man is just as liable to find
gold on the mountain top as on the bench,
where an experienced miner of Montana,
California, or the other western states
would never think Of looking for it."
