FINDING THE
DIAMONDS.

1t was her system that made Mrs.
Robinson what she was. II a lie got
oose any where near she was up and
after 1t with anything she could lay
acr hands on.
She showed you that lying didn't pay
when she was concerned. A lie turned
INTO serpent as soon as 1t got out OF
your mouth, and you were glad to get
behind another
Not to say that her system hadn't
It's drawbacks. Every system has. And
The naked truth is sometimes as awful
thing-l0 times more awful--than
any lie you can think of at the time
When Susan Jones came, however,
Mrs. Robinson had her work cut out.
The girl lied like an eel-there was no
catching hold Of her.
At first she just chirped out lies as
light-hearted as a bird. "Pleas'm, 1t
were the cat" or anything that came
uppermost. But the cat had a way
Of proving an alibi that astonished
Susan.
So Susan got as cautious as charity.
and 1t would have done your heart
good to see the two at It. For Mrs.
Robinson had no sooner got the ferret
OF truth into one hole than Susan was
out and in at another.
Anyone else would have got sick
and disgusted. but Mrs. Robinson
didn't
For" said she. "the girl has her
good points. and I'll make woman OF
her."
And she succeeded. for Susan got
worn out by the sheer uselessness OF
the thing. and at last shut down in
disgust. After that the girl did not de-
part from the truth for six months, and
then she let on the awfulest lie Mrs.
Robinson had ever heard In her born
days. At least Mrs. Robinson thought
1t was.
1t happened like this. One morning
when Susan was in the coal cellar she
found lady's ring that dazzled your
eyes and took your breath away.
Its one OF them 5-cent things as
you can buy in any tinker's shop" she
said to herself. Just lot o. rub
bishy glass. ] don't believe it's worth
bothering about"
She took 1t to her mistress, however.
Mrs. Robinson gave a cry when she
saw the ring and started up with her
mouth open. 1T looks like one OF the
rings mentioned in my grandmother's
inventory" she said. Il shouldn't
wonder II 1t belongs to the lost set OF
diamonds"
Mrs. Robinson was widow and
lived with her brother John. Few
men could look wiser than MIR. John
when he tried. His spectacles made
him look like Solomon. When he
came home he put them on and raked

finger on an exact description OF the
ring. II was valued at $500.
After they had all wondered awhile
they put on last years clothes. got
candles and went into the cellar, but
though they shifted the Goals about for
hours they got nothing but their faces
blacked. Mr.. Johns was the blackest.
when she had got herself washed
and busted Mrs. Robinson put the ring
on and wore 1t till night. but before
retiring to rest she put IL on her toilet
table In case II got lost In bed.
In the morning the ring was gone.
Susan took red face as soon ms her
mistress came downstairs. Mrs. Robin

for moment. and then she said:

The Postofflce Department has re-
Gently been stirred up In n remarkable
manner by young woman In Iowa.
She happens to have lover in one of
the regiments now on duty In the Phil
ippine islands, and recently made com
plant Of the inefficiency of the postal
service, directed to the postmaster gen
eral and also to the member of Con
gress from the district In which she
lives. She was boiling with Indignation
because she had written twenty-fOur
times to her lover In the Philippines
and had received no reply; indeed, she
had not heard word from him since
his departure on the troopship from
San Francisco, and was confident that
he had written her regularly. as he had
promised to do, and that his letters had
either been destroyed or were lying in
some corner where they had been over
looked or were lost on the way, or that
he had been killed by the FilipinOs and
General Otis had neglected to report
his death. She denounced the expan-
sion policy of the administration, de-
clared that 1t was n cruel and wicked
war and demanded that her lover
should be sent home at once.
As the young lady's father Is per-
son of some prominence In political
way, the congressman took up the mat
ter with the Postoffice Department, and
cablegram was sent to the superiu-
tendent of the postal service in the
Philippine islands Mt the cost of So n
word, ordering an investigation.
The report has just been received.
The special agent to whom the case
was assigned says that he found the
girls lover without any difficulty, en-
joying good health and an average
state of happiness. He promptly admit
ted that he had received IL lot of let
tiers from his sweetheart in Iowa-he
couldn't remember whether the exact
number was twenty-three or twenty
four-but they had come in punches by
every transport and had been duly de-
livered mt the camp of his company.
He also acknowledged with equal can
dor that he bad not answered any Of
them because the weather was too hot,
and he wasn't much of writer, any
how. He liked to receive letters, but
hated to answer them. and declared
that he had told the girl so before he
left home. Therefore he did not see
why she was making such fuss about
it. He would write her by the next
mail and scold her for making an Off
cial matter of their love affair.
A copy of the report was sent to the
member of Congress, with the request
that he forward 1t to the young lady,

the subject be what 1t may. We were
asked to Investigate and report upon
the merits OF the various catarrh reme-
dies on the market. The production
of preparations of Injurious compost
tion cannot, unfortunately, be stopped
OF restricted at present or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
pass such suitable and stringent laws
rs will eifectually prevent their ap-
roarance on the market. In the mean
time, the people must look out for
themselves. In this matter, we have
made most careful and painstaking
Investigation, realizing the confidence
that would be placed In our reply. Our
medical staff employed to make such
Investigations were most favorably
impressed with the preparation known
as Halls catarrh cure, manufactured
by +. j. Cheney 4 Co. Of Toledo, Ohio.
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves our highest Endorsement.
Many of the catarrh remedies on the
market contain mercury, which de-
stroys the sense Of smell and deranges
the whole system when entering
through the mucous surfaces. From
analysis we found that Halls catarrh
cure contains no mercury. 1t is taken

In throwing down barriers between

Great Britain and this country, there

stipulated that the arrangements for
his evangclistic or revival services
should be strictly on n union basis. As
a result. in Scotland, the split P.s'
among the Presbyterians found them
selves working side by side with each
other. In England low-church Angli-
cans and non-conformists worked side
by side. In this country the same
merging process went on. And as a
matter of course men who found they
could labor together in this way soon
found they could labor together in
other ways. The influence OF the as

to unity sects and throw down fences

A new 100 kilownt electric plant
with electric motor haulage Is be-
ing installed at Che Brushy Noun
tain Coal Mines, which win also
use electric pumps for hauling the|
water, electric ventilating fans and
probably chain cutters for mining
the coal The most interesting
feature is the motor haulage, ok
tending from top Of incline TO with
in 800 feet Of working faces. The
motor weighs only 1900 pounds,
and has a draw bar pull equal to
$50 horse power when at the maxi
mum speed Of 81 miles per hour.
The great horse power develoWed
by so light a machine is explained
by the third rail system. which is
an 81" beam in middle of track.
The motor drives four steel-faeed
wheels which automatically grip
the faces of the 81" beams, and the
friction carries the train of cars
along. The trolley is located un-
der the CT" beams and thereby pro-
tected from falling slate. This sys-
tenn of mine haulage is new, and
this viii be the first plant built in
the South The practicability Of
same, however, hes been fully dem
onstrated in several Indiana mines
where it has been in use for some
months, This plant will not only
make possible a great increase in
the output of coal, but it is estima-
ted will save the work Of 40 mules
and 80 convict drivers. 1t is ex-
pected that the plant will be in OPP

Mrs. Lura Hamer, daughter Of w. NJ
and Puss Cuff, was born April Is, 1869,
and died May Is, 1900 How sad it is
to part with one we all loved; one with
such bright prospects for a happy life
before her, and that just in the noontide
OF life, but we must remember such is
one OF the divine DEGREES Of an all wise
Creator Though her body lies silentin
the tomb to soon be forgotten, yet her
work for good still lives, and her many
kind acts and good deeds TO the needy
and those in distress will not be erased
by the changing scenes Of years to come.
Lura was always at her place at Sunday
school and the church OF which she was
a most devoted and earnest member, and
was always ready and a willing worker
for Christ. She was dutiful at school,
and always had kind word and help
ing hand for her schoolmRtes and her
teacher, having been q most devoted pu-
pill of the writer. So let me say to her
parents, relatives and friends, grieve not
as those who have no hope, but try and
live so that when death comes you may
be prepared to die as she did in the full
hope Of everlasting life The body q
