OFF HITH THE OLD LOVE.
Louis Leigh.

Put away the caps and inittens
That our baseball heroes wore I,
Fold the sweaters and the stockings- |
They're not needed any more.
Take the cushions from the diamond,
Put the balls and bats away;
Strip the balos from the heroes
They are only common clay.
They who late with flashing glances
Set the grandstand hearts in throbs,
Now, Unauthorized, are roaming
In the cold world, hunting jobs. .....-I,.
And the Summer girl!' so tickle
Sights her o!d-time idols shrine,
Traces gridirons DER the diamond,
Writes eleven" over mime
She who lately smiled on short stop,
Wore his color+ everywhere,
Shakes him tor the husky halfback,
And his shock of moppy hair.
All her talk is now of 'tackles,''
"Tonchdowns, " goals" and fulls and
halves,
And her time is spent in mixing
Healing IMMINENT and salves
Put away the caps and mittens,
Shelye the grand old national game;
Loose the leven with the pigskin,
Bid them rush aud maui and main.
We will patient be till springtinie
Shall the waning lime restore,
When with fans we'll grow funatic
And with rooters root once more!
Denver Republican.

One Of the most celebrated appeal cases
In the history of the Improved Order OF
Red Men In State terminated Friday night.
Great Sachem James Hargis, accompanied
by the Great Chief of Records George d.
Guthrie and Great Keeper of Wampum
Robert Fl. Hanna, by command of the
Great Council Of United States, visited
Pocahontas Council, No. /, of Highlands,
and received from them their charter, rituals
and SEAL to be returned to Rokeby. Henry
Clay. The case has been before the Great
Council of Delaware, and appealed to Great
Council of United States, where it was pend
ing two years and has been commented
upon more or less in the press. This settles
the, only contention existing In the order In
Delaware. Tribal reports show 727 adopted
this year by the order in this State.

Ninety-eight Per Cent.

There is fascination about big
profits to a business man. Butt be con-
sentative and cautious trader prefers to

vestments. There is no business man
who would not consider it a sound
proposition to invest in an enterprise
in which absolute loss was impossible
aud which offered ninety eight chances
in hundred of rich profit. The
statistics Of cures effected by DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
show that ninety eight Per cent of cases
of weak lungs can BIZ absolutely
cured. Almost if not all forms Of
physical weakness may be traced to
starvation. Starvation saps the
strength. The body is Just as much
starved when the stomach cannot ex-
tract nutrition from the food it receives
as when there is no food. Weak
lungs" bronchial affections, obstinate
coughs, call for nourishment. Golden
Medical Discovery supplies that
nourish ment in its most condensed and
assimilab form. 1t makes weak
lungs strong, by strengthening the
stomach and organs of digestion which
digest and distribute the food, and by
increasing the supply of pure blood.

"There's your grub. Take it and light

There's your grub. Take it and light
out. I shall give full description of
you to the authorities at Dyea and see
| that it is sent to Dawson. Somebody is
sure to hang you both before long"
| AS he spoke he cut their bonds and
then mounted his horse.
Half an hour later our friends were
we'll on their way. while the baffied rob-
bers were trudging tediously along to-
ward Fort Selkirk in moody silence.
Their plots had failed, and here we
must leave them to their fate.
1t was happy party that rode into
| Dyea five days later. The capitalist was
eager to close his advantageous bar
gain, and the business was soon trans
acted. Taylor received a draft for $780,
900 on responsible San Francisco par
ties, and when the bags of gold dusthad
been safely deposited on board the
steamer all care was at an end.
1t was the first night out from Dyea
| that Tom Scott found Avery alone on
the deck, and in few manly words de-
clared his love for Clara, asking her
fathers permission to marry her.
What does she say?" asked the old
miner, soberly.
Tom blushed like schoolgirl and re-
piled:
Il haven't asked her YETI
''Then do it, my lad. She's been the
boss this long time. Strikes me you're
pretty sure what she'll say to ask me
first, you rascal
But Tom was already gone, and we
cannot follow him. Suffice it to say
that the other men saw but little of
him for the rest of the voyage.
At Seattle the party decided to re-
main day in order to procure more
suitable clothing. They went at once
to hotel and registered, and half an
hour later stranger accosted Tom,
saying:
''Mr. Thomas Scott, I believer"
Tom admitted his identity, and the
man continued:
II have been hired by Capt. Scott,
your father, to find you. He is at the
Palace hotel in San Francisco, waiting
for news of you. VIII you wire to him,
or shall I do it?''
For a moment Tom was too aston
ished to speak; then he bolted for the
telegraph office.
Three days later there was joyful
reunion of father and son, and all mis-
understanding were explained. The
gold was found to be worth nearly
$4,000, and after division had been
made the friends separated. Within a
week Clara Avery became Mrs. Thomas
Scott, the two parents being present at
the ceremony.
The wedding trip was to New Eng
land, which Tom declared should be his
home for the rest of his days, although
he had found riches elsewhere.
''And what else did you find ?" pouts
his bride.
Reader, how would you have an

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Romantic BetrOtiials of GarabaIdi
and Bismarck to Their Life
Partners.

One is always afraid that when a
man falls suddenly love he may fall
out of it equally quick, but among cele-
brated men of the century who have
fallen in love at first sight and married
happily are Garibaldi and Bismarck.
In Garibaldi's autobiography the
story of his love is told. He relates
how, feeling the need of some one who
would love him, and believing women
to be "the most perfect beings" he
determined to seek wife for himself.
He was then pacing the deck of the
Itanarica, and he CHANGED to look upon
the houses of the Barra, a little hill
at the entrance of the Laguna of ST..
Catherine, in Brazil. With the aid of
a glass which he carried he saw a
young girl, and he ordered the men to
put him ashore. On landing he tried
to find the house which he had seen
from the ship, but failed, and, meeting
an acquaintance, he accepted an invita-
ton to take coffee at his house.
'On entering the house," says Carl
baldi, 1.-THE first person on whom my
gaze fell was the one who had caused
my coming ashore. It was Anita, the
mother of my children. We both re-
mained in an ecstatic silence, gazing at
each other like two persons who do
rot meet for the first time and who
seek in each others lineaments some
thing which shall revive remembrance.
At last l saluted her and | said: You
must be mine | spoke but little Por-
tuguese, and l said these audacious
words in Italian. However, I seemed
to have some magnetic power in my in
science. had tied knot which death
only could break"
Bismarck's S courtship was equally
bMef. Bismarck met and lost his heart
to Fraulein Won Puttkammer at a we'd
ding, and thereupon wrote to her par
ents and boldly demanded her. AS at
this time he was wild youth, whose
pranks were the talk of the country,
it is not surprising that the young
lady's father should say: st was as
if some one had struck me on the head
with q heavy AK" However, Bis
marck's love being evidently returned,
the lady's parents invited him to visit
them that they might know something
more about him than report told them.
At the time of his arrival the parents
were ready to greet their guest with
proper solemnity, and their daughter
stood by with downcast eyes. Bis
marck rode up and, hastily alighting,
threw his arms around his sweetheart's
neck and kissed her before anyone had
time to protest. The result was a for
NAL betrothal. The ''iron chancellor
was fond of telling this tale, and he
generally added to it the remark: at
is she who made me what am. Chi

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS and fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
# Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula IS Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taxing

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Ouinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the

Trusts Are TyrannicaI.

Our government, state and nation
al, foster, encourage and develop
trusts and protect them with laws
and constitutions. The democratic
party proposes to check the growth
of trusts by making them criminally
liable, by enforcing a license system,
by prohibiting watered stock, and in
tends to make it difficult, if not i'm
possible, for them to live. For if we
do not crush these industrial con-
spiracies they will crush us. The
democratic party stands for the
preservation of the individual and
the noneffacement of individual
rights. We believe in the necessity
of concentrated efforts in every pro-
ductive field. But we DO object to
the tyranny of trusts, to the adyan-
tage they take of friendly laws and
opportunity to enrich their control
ters and their tendency to locate
colossal fortunes in the hands of our
ten rulers-the real rulers of the
United States.

tered a small portion to the mate. who
revived at once and said:
Don't interrupt me. I must be
quick. This wound is burning me up.
Your father got the Alaska fever and
left his ship at Frisco. He gave me
all the money that belonged to the
owners to take to them. l gambled it
away. To hide my crime I said he
ran away with it. saw him in
Dyea-"
"What!"
Tom stared at him as if inclined to
think his mind was wandering but the
mate went on:
Hes rich. Hos struck gold some
where, and was going home TO find .rou.
He was Wild when I told him you was
dead and started off for Frisco to see
you was buried in good shape. That's
all, and it's enough, too"
AS he uttered the last words he fell
back exhausted. Tom tried to give him
more of the fiery liquor, but he could
not swallow it. His lips moved feebly
and his eyes were turned on Tom in
mute appeal.
II forgive You! God knows L dol"
whispered the young man huskily. and
flash Of joy on the dying mans face
told him that he was heard and under

followed, and with it Obed Rider 5
earthly career ended.
There was no desire for sleep in the
little party that night. By the light
of the camp fire grave was dug and
the body Of the unfortunate sailor
placed beyond the reach of any wild
animals, and by the time this was done
the dawn was near.
Avery dressed Bowers fingers to the
best Of his ability, the latter grinding
his teeth with pain and rage as he
realized how he had been outwitted the
second time.
His partner. however, took the whole
matter as coolly as if he had not been
caught in any act that might cost him
his life. lie spoke but once, and that
was to ask one of his captors to ac-
commodate him with chew of to-
bacco.
Wouldn't trouble yer, only yer've
tied my hands," he explained.
When it was fairly light council
was held to determine what. disposition
should be made CT the prisoners. This
proved somewhat difficult matter. To
take them to Dyea involved a veXatious
delay, for there were no horses forthem
to ride, and to turn two such desperate
men looso seemed dangerous thing
to do. Moreover, they would starve
without provisions.
After talking the matter over some
time without arriving at any conclu-
sion. Taylor exclaimed, impatiently:
They ought to be hung, but don't
want the job! We'd better give them
grub enough for a week or two and
turn them loose. We can't be bothered
with them!"
His advice was agreed to by the rest
and the little outfit was at once pre-
! pared. When they were ready to start
he walked up to the two desperadoes
