GUARDED BY FLOWERS.
An Equestrian Static In Germany
Thns Protected from RonpinE
Children.

A pretty story, which shows an ad-
mirable trait common to almost all
German children, is told the Youths
Companion by q recently returned
traveller.
In German city she saw fine
equestrian statue in bronze, around
the base OF which doomed a CAV lit
tle>garden.
The visitor exclaimed with delight
over both the flowers and the statue,
and expressed some wonder that the
blossoms We're left entirely unprotect-
ed by either railing or notice.
::tIn our country am afraid some
of the children might be tempted to
pick flower now and, then, as this
seems aside from the busy part of the
city" she said to her German friend.
"Oh, that would never be here" said
the friend, in amazement. "Why, the
garden was planted because the chill
dren would mount to the back of the
horse and ride, and the bronze was
getting the wrong sort of polish; but
when the flowers began to come up
there was no more trouble.
sour children age very. fearful lest
they should hurt any little growing
thing, and they would see the green
peeping through the earth and not
take another step toward the tempt
ing horse"

fruiiless in keeping the flames
from spreading to the mill, which
WAS Is feet distant. An old build
ing 400 yards away caught but was
put out. The Enterprise says at
ole time flame entirely covered
the mill and store and was one hun
dred feet high.

from his bed and carried down
stairs and in perhaps quarter OF II
minute, on returning to the room
it was found to be completely en-
veloped in flame.
A party Of hunters were spend
ing the night With Mr., kincaid
and the discharge of their six or
eight guns, when they became
heated, made it very dangerous for
those who attempted to remove
goods from the house. and but for
this, more could have been saved.
On the same night a barn in
Staunton. store and railroad tow
err in Covington, and the greater
part of the mining town of Thomas,
". Va. were burned. The Thomas
fire was very serious, the loss being
100000, rendering homeless $50
people. Three Of the principal
business blocks and 70 dwellings
were entirely destroyed. The wind
was the highest every known there.

anything else for indigestion or bill

they seldom heard of appendicitis,

etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they took
