Where the World Stands Still.

Life in Persia does not move ut the
modernlrate. In fact, it does not move
at all. The people have a legend for
everything. and they tell n which
presses their -own inertia. SHarper's
Weekly quotes it, thus:
Allah once said to his angel: IL will
see this world which I have made"
So Allah and the angel descended, in
visible. to the earth, and the first place
they saw was France. There were rail-
roads and tramways and theaters and
picture-galleries. And Allah was dis
appointed, and said:
"Ah. no! This is not the world which
l made. l made none of these things"
SO they %journeyed to England, and
there they saw mighty ships in the har-
bcrs and huge mills and food in plenty;
but Allah said:
ALIAS! this is not the world 1 made"
And everywhere, as they Travelled.
hidden in IL cloud. Allah looked down
upon the land and said:
mo, this is moi it,"
AT last. in despair, the angel led the
way to Persia. and Allah sat down upon
a high mountain and looked upon every
side. lie SAW neither railroads. nor
tramways. nor theatcrs. nor picture
galleries, norships. nor mills, nor school
houses, nor plenty to eat. And Allah
said:
"Yes. this is the world which / made.
Not Il thing has changed. The people

Era,n Deaths Door.

Hillslale. H., April 29th.-Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in n dying condition for several months
with an apparently incurable Kidney
Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless one,
and others from Port Byron, Geneseo,
and Davenport. Ia. had attended him.
and in a consultation decided that he
could o live.
In desperation. his nephew inquired
TO a last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, u remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results We're marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began To improve,
and within e few weeks was able to be
up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the neighbour
hood. and is considered nothing short
Of Il miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that this
new remedy. Doddis Kidney Pills. will
cure any case OF Kidney Disease, for
the mere malignant forms. such as
Bright's Disease. Diabetes. and Dropsy
yield readily 10 its remarkable intiu-
ence. These forms of Chronic Kidney
Disease have hitherto been considered
incurable, and have batlied all medical
skill. and yet. this new remedy has
cured every single case in which it has
been used. in this neighborhood. The
doctors themselves are amazed at the
wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pills
are accomplishing in Rock Island
County.

CHAPTER NNVI.

The 2Sth OF june. IT'S. Il day memora-
BILE III the annals of the Revolution, Was
the Christian Sabbath. Morning dawn
ed on a cloudltss sky over the plains
of Monmouth. the sun rising with all
the 1ervor of the summer s~olsticc. 1t
WAS the sullricst day of the year: not II
zephyr moved the leaves: nature smiled
in her beautiful garments OF flowers and
foliage, and the birds caroled With de-
light. in the ~fullncss Of love and har-
mony. Man alone WAS the discordant
note in the universal melody.
1t was on the morning of the 9th. as
Lafayette was making his advance to-
ward Clinton. that Il curious incident
happened which. having direct relation
to our story. we will not omit. The rain
storm of the day before had filed all the
brooks and streams to Overlooking. and
the roads were still quite muddy in
places. The clouds had cleared away
and the sun was shining brightly on the
wet grass and forest.
The advance guard of Lafayette were
aStonished to see two horsemen coming
toward them, one attired in the uniform
of a captain in the Continental army, and
the other as n colonel in the British army.
They were riding side by side, each wear
ing a sword, and zach having pistols in
his holsters. Though from their uniforms
they We're enemies, yet their actions in-
dicated the strongest ties of friendship.
One was evidently the others prisoner,
yet no one could have told which the
prisoner nor which the cnptor.
The advancing horsemen were halted
by the officer i'll command and an ex-
PLANTATION demanded. The officer in the
blue coat proceeded to explain, while the
man in the red coat listened, nodding as
sent.
81 am Maurice Fitzgerald, captain of
the Independent Dragons, and this is
my dear friend, Col. Roland Chester of
the British army. We met last evening
at a farm house, and, after a passage at
arms, decided to travel along this road,
and if we met British, / was to be his
prisoner; if we met Americans he was to
be mine. In either case the captive was
to be treated as n prisoner of war and
permitted to retain his sword, on con-
senting to remain within the limits of
the army"

Exposition More Than Paying
And is Accumj|ating Surplus

Buffalo, N. Y, July 20. - To cor
rect false impressions that have gone
abroad regarding the success OF the
Pan-American financially, President
John 6. Milburn yesterday issued a
statement which in part says:
1.-The exposition has been more than
paying it's expenses since the begin
ming OF June and has already accumu-
lated considerable surplus. That
surplus is increasing daily.
The exposition is having the same
experience that every exposition has
had. The masses outside the city
where an exposition is held do not at
tend during May, June and July.
Their at endancei begins in August
and increases during September and
October. All Indications show that
il is to be the experience Of this ex-
position.
The reports from railroad men and
hotel men and travellers are all to that
effect. The attendance during Aug
ust, September and October equal to
the attendance at Chicago in October
alone will pay all the obligations OF
the exposition including its Oonded
Indebtedness and will leave large

A GREAT SUCCESS. AS USUAL

One OF the most successful public

cooling refreshments, the games were

combination the picnic was bound to
be the big success it was.

tion the picnic was held, was Chief
Ranger A. j. Schneider, chairman:
Chas. Londgren, w. S. Brink, Andrew
KnutSon, VIM. Taylor, Alex Stephens,
James Veale and G. Ortelli. To them
belongs the credit for the great sue
cess achieved, and deservedly too, be-
cause they, one and all, worked hard
for the picnic and the comfort and
amusement Of the attendants.
In the base ball contests the mar
ried men won Dy a score of 7 to 9.
The winning team was made up Of
Londgren, Scott, Mackie, Williams,

BEST EVER HEARD IN BARRE

The band OF the 48th HighlanderS,
known as the "Kilties," came to this
city Saturday, played at two concerts
and conquered the people, their two
concerts being pronounced by far the
best ever heard in this city. Every
one Of their numerous selections was
fine, but they excellcd in the way in
which they played the Scotch music
Especially pleasing were the songs by
the band OF singers they had with
them. The dan es by the pipe maj jor
also made great hit Their entire
program was very satisfactory and the
opera house was we'll filled at each per-
formance.
While in this city the band took
their meals at the Hawes restaurant,
and Mr.. Hawes declared that never in
his experience had he ever had more
gentlemanly crowd Of men eat at his
place.
