Whereupon Mr.. Jobson took up his
stand on the front steps and awaited
the passing of the first man and
brother. The first happened to be
arrayed in very impressive clerica,
makeup, but Mr.. Jobson didn't no
tice that.
Hey, Zeb" called out Mr.. Jobson
from his position on the steps, dye

The dark-skinned man in the cler-

Jobson reprovingly.

that you exhibit a peculiar lack of

Mr.. Jobson just stood on the steps
and gurgled and choked wrathfully
as the man and brother passed on
down the street. and then he glared
into the parlor window to see if Mrs
Jobson was laughing at him. Mrs.
Jobson wasn't visible, however, and
so Mr.. Jobson whistled to a white
youth across the street and gave the
youth quarter to take the horse
and buggy back to the livery stable.
Then Mr.. Jobson went upstairs, put
on the most disreputable suit of
clothes that he could find in the store
room and clomped down again. He
dug a bushel basket and an old
ragged-edged shovel out of the cell
lar and made his appearance in the
basement areaway with these tools.

The most successful was a plot pro-

stakes, planted about one foot deep
and protected by wires cross-sec-
toned
Mrs. Ayrton, of London, who read
paper before the electrical congress
recently held in Paris, was the only
woman present at those meetings.
Her subject was the "The Electrical

Mr.. Jobson began to work as if he
were putting out conf1agration. He
piled the first basketful about foot
over the rim thereof, with the re-
suit that he could barely move it.
But he knew that Mrs. Jobson was
watching him out of the front win
dow, and he resolved to lift it or die,
without jettisoning any of the cargo.
1t was a tremendous effort, but he
| finally achieved it, not, however, with
out splitting about third of the coal
on the trip from the pavement to the
cellar. He only filled the next basket
full up to the top; nevertheless he
snorted and grunted a good deal as he
carried the load to the cellar. The
perspiration began to stream down
his Redeemed face and the clouds of
coal dust mingled with the perspira-
ton, and inside of ten minutes after
Mr.. Jobson had gone at the job he
was a sight. He might have passed
for somewhat over-feshy stoker in
the furnace room of a steamship.
Meanwhile the heads of all the
women neighbors began to appear at
their front windows. Mr.. Jobson saw
their heads between the curtains out
of the slants of his eyes, and the sight
made him boil within. When he was
just about to stoop over to lift one
of the loads the merry, roguish-eyed
little widow down the street tripped
by, nodding sweetly 20 Mr.. Jobson as
she passed. Mr.. Jobson felt that she
was laughing at him, and this didn't
increase his happiness. Then one of
Mr.. Jobson's neighbors. who was TAX
ing his annual leave at home, strolled
over and leaned Iuxuriously against
Mr.. Jobson's iron fence.

THE FISHERM EN-.

Though the waves are high and the winds
are strong.
And the pillows thunder against the
shore
The fishermen row away with song,
And the sunlight CLEANS on the flashing
oar.
IT'S little they care for the winds that blow,
Or the pillows that toss their boats about;
The whims of the sea are the books they
know
The flow of the tide and its going out;
The flow of the tide and the bending sky,
The spring of the sail as it talks the
breeze,
The drift of the clouds that are floating by,
The flight of the gulls and the combine
seas.
And over their vessels the sky bends low,
And the tide comes in and the tide goes
out;
And the wind and waves, and the ebb and
flow,
Are the sermons that make their lives
devout

To Mothers Of Large Families.

In this workaday world few women
are SO placed that physical exertion
is not constantly demanded of them
in their daily life.
Mrs. Pinkham makes special appeal
to mothers of large families whose
work is never done, and many Of
whom suffer, and suffer for lack Of
intelligent aid.
To women, young or old, rich or
poor, Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass,
extends her invitation of free advice.

Mr.. Jobson growled some inaudible
reply, and his neighbor went back
across the street. smiling back every
few steps.
After Mr.. Jobson had slowed about
quarter of ton of the coal in the
cellar he found that he had a Slight
nose bleed. to which he is subject.
He pressed a grimy handkerchief to
his nose and clomped up the front
steps.

tone, 81 trust you perceive what your

BATTLE WITH FIERCE BABooN
Interesting Account of n PIucky
Fight Made by al BOer Against
Monster Ape.

Battling with a monster baboon on a
projecting rock far up mountain side
was the periious experience of "A South
African farmer recently. In the neigh
borhood of Graaf-Reynet, a town of
Cape Colony, balloons ravaged the coun-
try, and after futile and individual eff
forts to get rid of the plunderers a
baboon hunt was organized. Several
of the man-like beasts were killed. but
one monster male baboon defied all
efforts to reach him. The hunt did not
seem to tire him. and he appeared to be
sound in wind and limb. He seemed
bound to escape by leaping from rock
to rock down a precipice.
AT the foot of the declivity fierce
hounds were waiting for him, but add
ed to the enormous muscular strength
of the horridlooking brute was the
frightful ripping power of his teeth,
which were two inches long, and he
had little trouble in beating off his as
sailants. One powerful boarhound,
which had come out first best in many
a battle with the beasts of the woods.
had its throat ripped open, severing
the jugular vein, and from the wound
the blood pumped in streams until the
faithful animal died from exhaustion.
Slowly, yet with safety, the baboon
made his way toward the bush in the
bottom of the valley, followed by the
dogs, who, though badly used up,
would not give up the fight.
At this point in the game in leaped a
farmer. His name was Van Niekirk,
and as he did not want all his dogs to
be killed he went to the rescue The
was so thick that he did not
dare to use gun for fear of killing
some of the hounds, but he pulled out
a large clasp knife, and with only this
weapon he gave battle to the monster,
which now was on an overhanging
ledge of the mountain side. Speedily
Niekirk was knocked down, and bare
ly escaped being flung down the preci- |
pice. Picking himself up. he warily re-
newed the fight. He got half-Nelson
on the brute, but this alone would have |
availed him nothing had he not quickly |
driven his knife to the hilt into the |
heart of the balloon.

Gratitude by Sitting for
His Portrait.

1t was not in Germany alone that the
conduct of the late Elihu b. Wash
burne, of Illinois, in protecting foreign
ers in Paris during the siege and the
reign of the commune awakened graft
tude and praise. The subject of almost
every European nation had reason for
thanks that he displayed such heroism
at time of grave peril. Prince Bis

lated to correspondent what he had
done toward recognizing Mr.. Wash

in Paris during the French war we
wanted to present him with testi-

of the Order of the Iron Crown made
of more costly pattern than had prob.
ably ever been manufactured before.
The brilliants alone cost 1000 friedrichs
dor, but before the emperor conferred
it upon him 1 took the precaution to
ask if he would accept the order. and
received reply that it would have to
go to the Washington museum, as he
would not be allowed to wear it. As
this was not much to my liking we kept
the order for some time, and inquired
by what other means we could show
our gratitude. In reply he begged that
l should sit TO an American artist for
my portrait. So sacrificed myself on

myself to be painted. The artist. in

EIGUREs,

Adyices from Washington state that

Spanish American war continue 10 pour

would be filed, the officials Of the de-

forces would furnish 30 many claimants.
As q matter OF fact, 1t has developed that
q large proportion OF the claims for pen.

1t is argued that this perhaps Is natural,

OF claims and the number engaged far

80 impressed were the pension officials
with this extraordinary state OF affairs
that the bureau has gone TO considerable
trouble along this line, and the result
furnishes perhaps one OF the strongest
arguments yet presented In favor OF an
increased force in the regular army.
To make the statistics authentic and
valuable the department selected the bat
tie OF San Juan, where the greatest num-
Der Of casualties occurred, and taking
the names OF the different regiments en-
gagged, located the pensions that have
been filed from each. The bureau didn't
have any statistics showing the men en-
gagged, but only the reglmental designa,
lions. At San Juan hill there were 10.
regulars killed, 1907 wounded and 81
missing. Claims for pensions from Ih'
