tably a rich man, and sent his boy to
Harvard. Since then the young men
had hardly met oftener than once q
year, but their friendship was still az
warm as when they went trouting to.
gether in boyhood. Whatever might
have been the cultivation of Chester
Sewalls mind, his physical develop
ment-something much more readily
! apparent-had certainly not been neg
lected at Harvard. Football and row.
ing, with the preparatory training for
those exercises, had made an athlete
OF him. And he was naturally u hand
some fellow, with fine, aristocratic
features. Perhaps a keen judge OF
character would have detected weak
ness in the small feminine chin that
at "a little distance seemed to taper
of to n sharp point, thanks to his
assidiously cultivated "goatee," which
was very little darker than the skin
it rested upon. His nose showed n ten
dency to a slight supercilious twist
that might only have been a product
of Harvard training, n sort of mint
stamp of that self appreciative insti-
tuition, but it was nevertheless, taken
all in all, n good nose. And his long,
light mustache, if it did not conceal,
at least drew attention away from his
rather irresolute and lips. AS
for his eyes, they were large, blue and
frank, as may well be those of q
young man who is conscious of moth
ing of which he should be ashamed
and who feels justified in entertaining
IN all around good opinion of himself.
Further description of Chester Sewall
hardly seems necessary. Young wo-
men generally agreed that he was

let him go at that.
When cordial congratulations and
mutual Fluctuations had been ex-
chang and cigars lighted, the friends
settled down for a chat, which John
opened with the remark:
80 at last you have graduated and
bloomed out as a highly accomplished
lily of the field"
"Oh, dear me, no, Jack. No such
luck. The lily tolls not, neither doth
it spin, but shall have to do both in
some fashion in order to live"
why, ! thought you werc"- John
spoke in a tone of surprise and hest

tent, the lawyers think. Without go
ing into the details of that, which is
rather n sad subject, the summing up
result is that, over the settlement OF
all liabilities, including the last of my
college expenses, only about $4,000 was
realized from the entire estate for me,
not enough to support the role of

Found a Poem woven Into the Rug

Philadelphia Record: There is an
antique Persian rug in an establish
ment here which Is valued at So, 1000. A
learned professor of the University of
Pennsylvania, attracted out of curios-
ity examined the piece of oriental
workmanship the other day, and rec
ognized the word "Saadi" in the tex
ture of the rug. With the assistance
of a fellow professor, who is an ac-
complished linguist, he has succeeded
in translating a poem which had been
woven into the rug in Arabic charac-
ters. Arabic is the court language of
the east, and in this rug appear the
classical characters. To the uniniti.
ated these characters look like geo.
metrical designs, but they really ex-
press much more. "Saadi," the title
to the poem, means sweetness.

Philadelphia Call: "Have you heard
that the engagement between George
and Emily has been broken?" asked
Clara.
Yes replied Gertrude. 81 went to
see Emily, and she told me just what
had occurred. 1t is all due to her alb
sent-mindedness. Her head was on
his shoulder, and she wanted to sug-
gest that he should take her to the
opera, and she said:
"'Do you know, dear Prank
Dear George he corrected her
fondly.
"She sighed, and inadvertently
said: Yes, to be sure; but how stupid
of me, | thought this was Wednesday
night
George will sail for Europe next
week." said Gertrude.

On one occasion he was holding forth

Lossss OF cattle from feeding in corn

this year than ever. Farmers in this
county havs not only lost a good many
head, hut it is the same all over the state

already been published in the GRAPHIC
from time TO time: that there-is no pre-
tentative for the disease. no remedy, and
no veterinary or stockman has yet dis
covered the aust All reports that this
or that kind OF corn is more dangerous
than others, is all bosh. All that is
known is that certain fields some years
grow stocks containing a deadly poison.
the exact nature Of which is not under
stood, though thousands OF dollars have
been expended by experiment stations
and veterinarians to discover it.
In this county, Glad Smith allowed his
stock to run IN three different fields with
no tad results, though the cattle were in
them two weeks. He then let them into
a fourth field and four died the first day.
A farmer near Mitchell lost eighteen
head in one day.

same right. Moreover, if the GRAPHIC

that charges should be preferred by 8
