Gutta Percha.

The discovery of gutta percha goes
back to the year 1S47, when Sir Will
liam Jackson Hooker and DIR. Ernest
Werner Won SiemenS announced not
only the discovery of this valuable
product, but also that it was adapted
to the insulation of wires along which
electric currents were to pass. When
1t is considered that without gutta
percha all of the progress of the last
half century in drawing the ends Of
the earth together by the lightning's
flash would have been impossible, the
importance of this discovery is easily
appreciated.
While the chief use of gutta percha
is, Of course, for the insulating cover
ing of electric wires a large quantity is
used for the manufacture Of golf balls,
for which no other material seems so
well adapted. Its hardness. after hav
ing been submitted to the proper pres
sure, and its toughness make it the
only golf ball material yet discovered.

Effect of Her PRAYERS.

A Philadelphia woman relates the
following instance of an answer to
prayer: zone day 1 was walking ON
the street when 1 saw a runaway horse
galloping toward me. The driver had
lost all control over the animal, and as
the wagon was swaying from side to
side the driver seemed in great danger
of being thrown out and severely in
jured. if not killed. 1 stepped into the
street and prayed for the horse with
all my might. 1t gave one look at me,
stopped and hung it's head abashed.
But that isn't all. The driver, see
ing the horse was submissive, was
about to seize the whip, with the in
tention of lashing the beast, when l
directed my prayers toward him. He
at once gave up his cruel design, jump
ed from his seat and began patting the
horses head. Then / went on my way
rejoicing.''-New York Tribune.

ahead and tore piece of cloth out of
one leg of his trousers and ripped two
buttons off his vest. The applause that
| followed was enthusiastic and sincere,
and one of the crowd followed it with:
"Well, if any one had told me that
that old duffer was such a monkey to
climb L wouldn't have believed it!'
BY the time the crowd had numbered
30 Mr.. BowSer was almost within
reach of the cat His eyes were CLASSY
and his jaw set He knew that Mrs.
Rowser was watching him from q
front window and that he had not one
sympathizer in the crowd. but he would
accomplish his object if death overlook
him in the doing Of it. He now got a
toe hold on limb and reached for the
cat. but the feline spat Mt him and
jumped away. and as he started back
the limb broke, and there was Fourth
of July yell from the crowd below
Mr. Bowser descended like a load of
brick, hut fortunately the Stepladder
was below to receive him. He struck
1t in heap and twisted around till he
lay across it on his stomach, and he
heard faroff voices saying:
"Somebody go to the drug store and
ring in for an ambulance"
''Didn't the old coon know more than
to climb n tree? Who knows, where
he Iives?'
'Dcre's a woman comm out, and
mcbbe she owns him. called q boy as
Mrs. BowSer appeared.
She soon settled all doubts of her
ownership. She asked assistance to
lower Mr.. Rowser from the stepladder
and when he had been Strengthened out
as well as possible four men volunteer
ed to carry him into the house. He
knew he was being carried, but he
made no resistance. He knew when
they bumped his back along the hall
floor and left him in n disorganiZed
heap in the sitting room. and he plain
ly caught n voice which said:
Here he is, ma'am, and, though he
amt dead. he'll probably let cats alone
after this. When cat gifts up a tree,
it's her bizness to git down ag'in.
Lands alive. but he must be a queer
man to pay any attention to catsr'
Little by little Mr. Bowser recovered
from the shock He opened his eyes
and saw the family cat and Mrs. Bow
ser watching and waiting. He sat up
and decided on what he would do, and
rs he crawled over to the lounge and
sat down on it he hoaEsely whispered:

whats the use, anyhow" queried
the eighth person who came along
eff a cat is fool enough to climb q
tree, let her be fool enough to come
down again."
Men, said Mr.. Bowser as he looked
around him, "have you no hearts
Would you deliberately permit the
helpless to suffer-"
"But if she is sufferin why don't she
come DOWN." protested three or four
voices in chorus.
Because she's lost her nerve I
wouldn't have believed that such cruel
ty existed in the twentieth century"
And Mr.. Bowser got to the top of the
stepladder and hung to the tree and
coaxed again. The cat was ten feet
beyond him and refused to stir. He in
creased his offer to the boy to 10 cents,
but 1t was refused. He must either
climb the tree or back down, and the
reader knows that Mr.. Bowser is a
man who never gives up unless knock
ed unconscious.
'Say, you can't climb that tree!
shouted one of the crowd below as he
witnessed the preparations.
"But shall!"
''Bet you 10 to 1 you come down ker-
PUNK! You are too fat and logy.
Better cut the tree down"
People had been coming along and
hating, and the crowd now numbered
a score. OF the Is different remarks
addressed to Mr.. BowSer as his feet
left the stepladder not one was replied
to. He was too busy. His first move
ripped his coat under each arm and
barked his knees, and the crowd yelled
and applauded. There was momen

Was not Sweet-Grass also like a

Then he spoke aloud to the Crees and
Drayed silently in his heart the while.
Eloquently he told, in the short, terse
sentences of the Indian, the infinite
power and mercy of the Lord; that II
they would only listen it would heal
the arrow wounds in their hearts.
"Will your God, who is so powerful,
give me back Two Winds? cried Many
Herbs. "Or bring her back to my

"Have patience, my brothers," said
the priest "You have forgotten one

cross which was tucked in his girdle.

If it can do that, 1 will believe and

The chief and the priest were old
friends, almost old antagonists, on the
question. Pere Lacombe knew that

pended upon.
"And 1 have heard" he said as the
Cree chief ceased speaking and placed
the long stem of his pipe between his
lips; 81 have heard, and my Master has
heard, and the power of the cross is for

Among the whites Pere Lacombe
was the one man Sweet-Grass trusted,
and as the priest spoke he started for

as gaunt wolf eyes a life that is just
out of his reach.
1.-TWO Winds!' he whispered huskily,
expectantly.
YES" answered the priest in his
deep voice as he drew aside the canvas
of the cart.
1t was as though God had looked
down and smiled upon the camp as
Two Winds came and stood in the light
of the campfire. The same light that
had f1icked at the brass Saviour streak

starlight showed him the strange cat.
He went down to the tree and began
calling and coaXipg. There seemed to
be no good reason why she shouldn't
come down, as it is as easy for a cat
to descend as to go up, but the feline
remained fast to limb. Mr.. Bowser
went to the kitchen after a stepla oder.
AS he brought it out and placed it
against the tree two men came along
and halted. He had climbed half way

One OF the most unusual sights tn
be seen at the coming Confederate
veterans reunion at Louisville will
be company of Cherokee Indians from
Western North Carolina. These red
men will attend thirty strong, and are
the remnant Of accompany that served
during the four years OF the civil wal
as Confederate soldiers. They were
members of the far-famcd Western
North Carolina Brigade OF General
Thomas. and during the entire war
these noble redmen made themselves
reputation for being hardy, faiti''ul
and true soldiers, the equals OF any
who took a part in. the bloody strug-
Gle. The company will attend the re-
union as part Of the Fourth North
Carolina Brigade, U. Q. ", under the
command Of Capt. +. M. Ray. The
rcdlnen OF this company are now liv-
inv on a reservation near Asheville,
N. c., which was appointed to them
before the civil war, and which they
we're satisfied to retain after the exo-
dus OF Indians to the West had set In.
